  Nicole Laino: Welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, the show dedicated
• 0:05
  to helping entrepreneurs use human design to shift from hustle to
• 0:09
  flow without sacrificing results.
• 0:11
  Come here to become an unshakeable human and build an unshakeable business
• 0:15
  according to your human design.
• 0:17
  I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
• 0:22
  Hello, and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everybody.
• 0:25
  I'm your host, Nicole Lano, and this, today's episode is on a topic we've
• 0:32
  kind of been talking about throughout the month of January, because we've had
• 0:35
  so much around this particular topic, which is chaos, which is crisis, which
• 0:41
  is, we've seen a lot of upheaval.
• 0:43
  And I want to talk about just the concept of being and what I call an aligned CEO.
• 0:51
  I always say inside my business by design mentorship, what we're creating
• 0:55
  are aligned and profitable CEOs.
• 0:59
  That is the goal.
• 1:01
  And when I work with CEOs or C suite individuals, executives from the
• 1:06
  outside world, This is something that if they're any good, if they get to
• 1:11
  that C suite, this is something that this ingredient I'm going to talk about.
• 1:15
  This constant practice of coming back to this one thing is something
• 1:19
  that they inherently understand.
• 1:21
  The other learned it deliberately from somebody else, from a mentor,
• 1:25
  they took it in from just years and years of experience, recognizing
• 1:29
  what got them results and what got them to not where they wanted to be.
• 1:34
  But this one thing, , it boils down to this one thing to always remember.
• 1:38
  And this came up with a client of mine today.
• 1:40
  And I was like, you know what, I want to do a little episode on this.
• 1:43
  I want to actually make this the highlight because this is how we
• 1:48
  take ourselves from being struggling.
• 1:52
  And this was a journey I went on myself.
• 1:54
  I created a lot of the problems that I complained about in the beginning.
• 2:00
  I was the source of them and not because I was trying to, actually the problem a lot
• 2:05
  of times was that I was trying too hard.
• 2:07
  I was pushing, I was trying to make something happen.
• 2:10
  I was, you know, looking for love in all the wrong places.
• 2:13
  I was using the wrong tools for the job that was at hand.
• 2:19
  So this ingredient that I'm talking about, Something to remember, a
• 2:24
  perspective or belief change around this, a new view around chaos and struggle
• 2:32
  and when things aren't looking good.
• 2:35
  Let's face it, in business, every day ain't sunshine and roses.
• 2:39
  Every day is not rainbows and unicorns.
• 2:42
  There are plenty of days where things do not go the way I had
• 2:47
  planned or the way I had hoped.
• 2:49
  So many of them, but the difference between me several years ago, when
• 2:54
  I faced a day that didn't go well, that didn't go as planned, when I had
• 2:59
  cancellations and failed payments and people just saying no, and nobody saying
• 3:05
  yes, and really struggling to make every sale, that, Nicole, contributed to the
• 3:10
  chaos, to the struggle with her energy.
• 3:15
  With her attitude, with her emotions, with her inner dialogue and the Nicole
• 3:22
  of today, basically makes all of that negative stuff go away and shift and
• 3:29
  change into what she does want through that same inner work, through managing
• 3:34
  my energy, through understanding my contribution to the situation at hand.
• 3:40
  We may think we have no control over the circumstances of our life, but if
• 3:44
  you get caught up in the circumstances and those circumstances create emotions
• 3:48
  for you, and those emotions are negative or deep or heavy, and then you try
• 3:54
  to take action to try to make those emotions go away, to try to fix it.
• 4:00
  And then it doesn't fix the situation or the circumstance, then you feel
• 4:06
  downtrodden, you feel helpless, you feel like it's not working, now you're losing
• 4:11
  hope, now you're upset, now you are in a negative or a low frequency, and you're
• 4:18
  contributing to those circumstances.
• 4:21
  When people say get into the energy of what you want.
• 4:24
  It comes down to this.
• 4:26
  It's not, we think about it, it's like, oh, I just have to
• 4:28
  be in high vibes all the time.
• 4:30
  It's a weee.
• 4:32
  And human design really helps with this, but I'm talking just purely
• 4:36
  from a managing our energy, taking responsibility for our energy.
• 4:41
  I've talked about that when I talk about being an emotional authority and taking
• 4:45
  responsibility for the emotions you bring into the room because they're big.
• 4:49
  And other people feel them, we have to take responsibility for
• 4:52
  all of the energy that we have.
• 4:54
  When I'm talking about in those circumstances, I'm talking about,
• 4:57
  you know, I'm thinking about other people, but your situations are going
• 5:02
  to move up or down based on the energy that you bring to those situations.
• 5:08
  You have a choice in every moment.
• 5:11
  Of how you are reacting and responding to the situation at hand.
• 5:17
  It doesn't come down to just what we do.
• 5:20
  It comes down to the energy that we bring to every moment after we do
• 5:25
  something, or after something happens.
• 5:28
  Every moment we have some control over.
• 5:31
  We cannot control the circumstances.
• 5:33
  But we can control the energy that we bring and contribute
• 5:37
  to those circumstances.
• 5:38
  And this is something that beginning entrepreneurs don't often really
• 5:44
  do they contribute to the chaos.
• 5:46
  They contribute to the struggle.
• 5:48
  They get really down on themselves or they take so much action that
• 5:53
  they're trying to fix things that they actually unfix them.
• 5:57
  They make them worse.
• 5:58
  I see this even with the people who are struggling to get ahead because they think
• 6:05
  that they are good in the energetic space, they think that they're good with their
• 6:09
  mindset because they've done that work before, they took the courses, they get a
• 6:13
  Reiki healing, they do all of that stuff, but they're not there yet and they're
• 6:17
  at that like six figure ish mark, But they can't really feel, it's not quite
• 6:22
  enough to put them in total comfort.
• 6:26
  So when those challenging times come, they do the toxic positivity thing.
• 6:31
  They're not really managing the energy.
• 6:33
  They're managing the way that they talk about the energy, but
• 6:36
  it's kind of bullshit underneath.
• 6:39
  They're scared as hell, they're not really dealing with it, they are pushing to try
• 6:43
  to fix it, they are trying to take action to make it go away, and it works because
• 6:49
  you can hustle your way to a certain level of success, but it never gets easier.
• 6:54
  This is where aligned and profitable CEOs really understand this.
• 7:00
  That this is where you need space as a CEO and it can often feel really
• 7:05
  difficult to create that space for yourself when you have a lot to do.
• 7:09
  When you certainly, when you're in the start or when you're trying to grow past
• 7:13
  six figures, it is a tough, tough climb.
• 7:16
  Six figure is a tough climb because you're usually doing it yourself, now
• 7:19
  you're trying to get past that and you need systems to get past that six figure
• 7:24
  mark, it can't just be, you have to have a plan, and you have to execute that
• 7:28
  plan, and it has to be something that's repeatable, there have to be certain
• 7:32
  things that make it systematic so that it isn't so demanding on your energy,
• 7:37
  but you have to create space for yourself to process this feelings so it isn't
• 7:44
  just bullshit, bullshit, bullshit when you're saying like, no, I know there's
• 7:46
  another client right behind that one.
• 7:49
  It's okay, It's only really okay if in your energy you believe it's okay.
• 7:54
  You can't say the words.
• 7:55
  I mean, the words are better than saying the other thing, I suppose.
• 7:58
  They'd be like, Oh my God, it's all falling apart.
• 8:01
  What am I going to do?
• 8:02
  But you have to be able to actually regulate your nervous system.
• 8:06
  Your nervous system.
• 8:07
  is a C suite employee, member, board member of your business.
• 8:14
  And so many people are overlooking that board member and they're tarnishing and
• 8:22
  destroying things in those rough moments.
• 8:25
  You have to learn to process your emotions inside my program, we use
• 8:32
  EFT, that's kind of our main modality that we use, although we use many.
• 8:37
  I use visioning, I use EFT, and I use breath work.
• 8:40
  These are kind of the tools that I rely on the most, but you can choose any
• 8:44
  ones that you want, but you have to actually dive into what you're feeling.
• 8:48
  You have to actually process that feeling because you cannot
• 8:52
  move beyond it, until you do.
• 8:55
  And if you can't move beyond it energetically, then energetically,
• 8:59
  you're still there with the struggle.
• 9:02
  Do you understand that?
• 9:03
  What I mean by that?
• 9:04
  Energetically, we are connected to whatever situation we are vibing with.
• 9:12
  So if we're vibing with fear, with there's not another client,
• 9:15
  oh my God, what am I going to do?
• 9:17
  Then tomorrow could come, the next day could come, you
• 9:21
  might start to feel better.
• 9:23
  But if that's the energy, you are still connected to that reality,
• 9:29
  not the one that you want.
• 9:30
  And until we learn to do these two things, which is to energetically connect
• 9:34
  to what we want to remain there, even when times are bad and challenging.
• 9:39
  And to take the physical action to meet the universe halfway.
• 9:44
  So that we can create that reality that we are energetically connected to.
• 9:49
  We need to connect to it energetically and we need to connect to it in
• 9:53
  a more tangible way through our actions here in the material world.
• 9:57
  Because we want it to materialize.
• 9:59
  But we do it in the energy of what we want.
• 10:02
  This is how you become an aligned and profitable CEO.
• 10:06
  This is how you do it.
• 10:07
  You do these two things.
• 10:09
  So I hope that this helps.
• 10:10
  I hope that you see the value in growing yourself as well as growing your
• 10:16
  business, and I hope you see the value in being able to do these two things
• 10:21
  simultaneously, not one at a time.
• 10:24
  Because then one's always behind, and we always feel like we're playing catch up.
• 10:29
  And no matter what happens, when we aren't aligned, when we aren't processing,
• 10:32
  and we're only focusing on that strategic work, on the tactical stuff.
• 10:36
  When the tactical fails, we can't hold up the energetic side of things and
• 10:41
  that's when everything starts to fall apart and everything starts to take a
• 10:44
  step back and we start winding back to that safe place that we were before,
• 10:49
  that comfortable place of maybe being really uncomfortable, but is known to us.
• 10:54
  So I hope that this inspired you to go deeper with the inner work.
• 11:00
  At the very least, become acutely aware of your energy in every moment.
• 11:05
  Really notice, especially when things feel hard, when things feel like they
• 11:09
  are not going your way, are you able to hold the vibration, hold the vision
• 11:15
  for what you want, even when you're in this place of being so far away from it?
• 11:20
  Can you do that?
• 11:22
