419: I Got Thrown Off My Game, Here's How Human Design Brought Me Back · Unshakeable with Human Design - A Human Design For Business Podcast

0:11
Nicole Laino: Come here to become an unshakable human and build an unshakable business according to your human design.
0:17
Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
0:22
Nicole Laino: Hello, and welcome to Unshakable with Human Design, everyone.
0:27
Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and it's you and me today.
0:30
Nicole Laino: And today is going to be kind of a personal episode.
0:33
Nicole Laino: So over the last few months, I've had kind of some things going on and some changes that have been coming to light, and I have gotten thrown off my game.
0:45
Nicole Laino: Doesn't happen to me often, but with my gate of confusion leading my design, I get confused.
0:52
Nicole Laino: Sometimes.
0:53
Nicole Laino: I do.
0:53
Nicole Laino: I'm really good at managing that confusion, but it doesn't mean that I don't have periods where even I get pulled off track.
1:04
Nicole Laino: But in this episode, what I wanted to do was I wanted to share it with you.
1:08
Nicole Laino: Kind of the little story that I have and how human design brought me back to what is the most important for me to focus on in my business.
1:21
Nicole Laino: Because what I say this all the time, I say, you know, it isn't about finding the way.
1:28
Nicole Laino: It's about finding your way.
1:30
Nicole Laino: That is a core tenant in my world, and that is what I built my whole business around.
1:35
Nicole Laino: It's the reason why I don't just teach business.
1:38
Nicole Laino: I probably could make more money and have different types of success if I did just focus on business or put business first.
1:48
Nicole Laino: But the thing that matters the most to me is the fact that what I see for myself and for other people is when we play somebody else's game, we lose.
1:58
Nicole Laino: It's not about finding the way.
2:01
Nicole Laino: I chased the way for a long time, and when I found my way, everything changed in my business.
2:08
Nicole Laino: Suddenly I was, like, literally adding 50% to doubling my revenue because I didn't get distracted, because I didn't get pulled off my course, because I didn't listen to people telling me it had to be this way or it had to be that way.
2:24
Nicole Laino: I didn't let too many voices in because mine was the strongest.
2:29
Nicole Laino: And it changed my entire world.
2:31
Nicole Laino: It changed everything.
2:33
Nicole Laino: And if I'm being perfectly honest, I have lost a little bit of that.
2:39
Nicole Laino: I.
2:40
Nicole Laino: Not permanently, but I took a little.
2:42
Nicole Laino: I'm talking about maybe two or three months of me sort of stepping out of that power a little bit for myself and finding my way back.
2:52
Nicole Laino: And that's What I wanted to share with you today, I wanted to talk to you a little bit about my process, a little bit about what I've seen, what I see with other people as we've been working with people in different capacities and inside business by design, of course, I'm always working with entrepreneurs and this is honestly your ability as an entrepreneur to lead yourself.
3:13
Nicole Laino: Every time you give your power away to something or someone, you diminish yourself energetically, you show up differently and then you'll find that your path doesn't move in a straight line from where you are to where you want to go.
3:29
Nicole Laino: It's all over the place.
3:32
Nicole Laino: Even if you have a coach having a and I have coaches, I still work with people, I still get advice.
3:40
Nicole Laino: But to be in my power when I am interacting with them and to be in a place where I'm not showing up weekly or in lack asking for advice, I'm getting their opinion and I'm passing it through my authority before I move on anything, I'm passing it through my authority and feeling does that feel right for me or does that sound like something that worked for them?
4:03
Nicole Laino: That maybe I can take the spirit of it, but I'm not looking to do it exactly like them because that's not my way.
4:10
Nicole Laino: Right.
4:10
Nicole Laino: So that's the difference.
4:12
Nicole Laino: And if you're interested incorporating human design into your business, I do have to say that we are running for the last time in 2025 and I don't know, it may not come back in 2026.
4:23
Nicole Laino: We're still kind of sifting through that and seeing what 2026 looks like for us, but we're running the Authority accelerator masterclass, my five day free masterclass.
4:34
Nicole Laino: On November 10th we start and registration is now open.
4:38
Nicole Laino: It is free and it is amazing.
4:41
Nicole Laino: We get the most incredible feedback from everybody who attends this masterclass.
4:46
Nicole Laino: And this is my way of showing you all the pieces of what it takes to build a business according to your human design, where you're playing by your game and you're understanding what that is and you're building your business around your gifts and your magic and your magnetism and then putting strategies in place to make that work for you, where you're making sales every day.
5:09
Nicole Laino: So we take you through the entire thing, the energetic part and the strategic part.
5:13
Nicole Laino: If you want to join us, all you have to do is DM me the word masterclass on Instagram.
5:17
Nicole Laino: I'm icoleno official or go to nicolelaino.commasterclass and you can register right there.
5:23
Nicole Laino: On the website, and we've got it all linked up in the show notes for you.
5:25
Nicole Laino: So you're taking care of.
5:27
Nicole Laino: Okay, I hope to see you there.
5:28
Nicole Laino: All right, so let's talk about this.
5:30
Nicole Laino: So I'll tell you a little bit about this story.
5:33
Nicole Laino: So I have big goals, and I had a plan, and I was enacting that plan, and it was working, and it's all working really well.
5:41
Nicole Laino: I want to say this.
5:42
Nicole Laino: We are having the best year I've ever had in this business.
5:46
Nicole Laino: We have added another hundred thousand dollars in revenue from last year.
5:53
Nicole Laino: We have increased profit.
5:55
Nicole Laino: Like, it's a really great year.
5:56
Nicole Laino: This is not me complaining.
5:58
Nicole Laino: But even when you have great results, sometimes we're not looking at them.
6:03
Nicole Laino: Sometimes conditioning takes over, and you hear what other people are doing.
6:07
Nicole Laino: And I was in this growth space in my head.
6:12
Nicole Laino: So I'm listening to all these people, and I'm like, oh, that's what they're doing.
6:15
Nicole Laino: Okay, cool, I'm gonna do that too.
6:16
Nicole Laino: And I started to let other people's opinions in.
6:20
Nicole Laino: Not in a way that was me being the authority first.
6:25
Nicole Laino: And I didn't feel like I was horribly misaligned.
6:29
Nicole Laino: But they're looking back on it.
6:30
Nicole Laino: I'm like, no, you didn't want to do that, Nicole.
6:32
Nicole Laino: And you did it because you felt like it would get you what you wanted.
6:36
Nicole Laino: My ego took over, and some of my small t trauma took over, too.
6:42
Nicole Laino: I wanted people to like me.
6:44
Nicole Laino: I wanted to be accepted.
6:46
Nicole Laino: Some of those little wounds that I have healed on a bigger level, they're not festering anymore, but they still carry a little bit of a charge.
6:54
Nicole Laino: And we don't know that sometimes until we are quote, unquote triggered, until we are put in a situation where we're forced to face it, and we notice that, oh, I am still influenced by this shadowy part of me.
7:10
Nicole Laino: I am still wanting to fix it.
7:13
Nicole Laino: I am still going into an unhelpful strategy, which is putting me into my conditioning and into my not self, where I'm not making decisions from my most powerful place.
7:22
Nicole Laino: I'm not showing up as the most powerful magnetic version of myself.
7:27
Nicole Laino: And this is where we get turned around.
7:28
Nicole Laino: Okay, well, I'm not getting these results that I wanted.
7:31
Nicole Laino: Things aren't working the way that I thought they would.
7:34
Nicole Laino: So we think we need another strategy to solve it.
7:37
Nicole Laino: So I fell into this pattern a little bit where I started.
7:41
Nicole Laino: And like I said, things were going well.
7:44
Nicole Laino: This is what conditioning does.
7:45
Nicole Laino: This was not about me looking at the data and being like, nothing's working.
7:51
Nicole Laino: No, our revenue was there.
7:52
Nicole Laino: Everything was going well.
7:54
Nicole Laino: I'm not going to say that every single thing that we did went gangbusters, but there were a couple of things that, you know, didn't perform as well.
8:01
Nicole Laino: And I was like, oh, I could fix that.
8:03
Nicole Laino: And I started to like shift into this massive action mode and.
8:07
Nicole Laino: And I started to look outside rather than inside for my answers.
8:11
Nicole Laino: And what that did in a short period of time of me being in my conditioning was I started to look at the outside world and I started to grab at things that I thought would fix it.
8:22
Nicole Laino: And let me know if you've ever felt that way, okay?
8:25
Nicole Laino: I don't know what to do and I don't know how I'm gonna do it.
8:27
Nicole Laino: And that's what happened.
8:28
Nicole Laino: Like, I'm like, oh, I wanna have this massive growth.
8:31
Nicole Laino: And I started to do more stuff to try to get there.
8:36
Nicole Laino: I started to look outside and be like, someone else must have the answer.
8:40
Nicole Laino: And the truth was it was I was looking out in lack rather than looking at everything that I did have.
8:47
Nicole Laino: I was like, I want more.
8:48
Nicole Laino: I wasn't coming from a place of I have so much and how can we make this better?
8:53
Nicole Laino: I wasn't in a good place with my decision making.
8:57
Nicole Laino: I wasn't fully grounded.
8:59
Nicole Laino: Now my version of this still looks pretty darn productive and I didn't go off the rails too badly.
9:05
Nicole Laino: It's not like I ruined everything.
9:08
Nicole Laino: But I sit here today and I'm like, oh, I got thrown off my game here.
9:11
Nicole Laino: I wasn't making decisions from my most powerful self.
9:14
Nicole Laino: I wasn't making decisions from my highest self.
9:17
Nicole Laino: Some of them I did.
9:18
Nicole Laino: But there were a couple that I look at and what we end up doing, they caused more confusion.
9:24
Nicole Laino: Some of the strategies I was employing that other people were doing that other people were telling me some very well meaning friends, some people in my sphere, you know, sometimes we mastermind with people and we respect people and they say, oh, this is your problem, this is what isn't working for you.
9:43
Nicole Laino: You should do this.
9:44
Nicole Laino: I did this and it worked for me.
9:46
Nicole Laino: And I was like, okay, yeah, sure, I could do that.
9:49
Nicole Laino: And even thinking back to it, I can feel the energetic misalignment that was there.
9:56
Nicole Laino: So one of the things that I was doing was I started to, I went into the, you know, how do I make these connections with people?
10:04
Nicole Laino: And I got really into these like belly to belly personal connections that I had to make with people, fully knowing that as a five line, that's not how it Works for me.
10:16
Nicole Laino: That's not where my greatest influence is.
10:19
Nicole Laino: That's not what my business is built on.
10:21
Nicole Laino: I'm a 5:1.
10:22
Nicole Laino: The 5:1 rules.
10:24
Nicole Laino: And I think part of me felt lonely and felt like, does it have to be like that?
10:29
Nicole Laino: Does it have to be so lonely?
10:31
Nicole Laino: Does it have to not involve people?
10:33
Nicole Laino: And I think that this is the problem with looking at extremes.
10:36
Nicole Laino: So as a 5:1, I don't need to best friends with everybody.
10:41
Nicole Laino: And in fact, when I am more mysterious and a little bit further away and I have some more wide net sort of content, it does better than being super close and needing to be close to people.
10:57
Nicole Laino: That's not where my influence is greatest and that's not where my impact is.
11:02
Nicole Laino: My impact is in one lining through something, becoming an expert, putting my work out there, having this amazing work product and then putting it out to the world through a larger platform and letting it do its thing.
11:19
Nicole Laino: If I look back, all of the evidence in my business says that is the way and it doesn't mean that I don't get to have friends.
11:26
Nicole Laino: And I think that was where some of the this is what conditioning does.
11:29
Nicole Laino: The hurt part of me was just like, why can't we have friends?
11:33
Nicole Laino: Nicole, you can have friends.
11:34
Nicole Laino: It's just not going to be.
11:36
Nicole Laino: The friends that you make are not going to be your clients.
11:39
Nicole Laino: So if your goal is to build this business and you have these greater goals in mind, my strategy is going to look different than those other friends where all of their business comes from.
11:50
Nicole Laino: Them flying to events and getting to know people and being best friends and them all collaborating and doing stuff together, that's what works for them.
12:00
Nicole Laino: And I get to have those relationships.
12:03
Nicole Laino: That's just not going to be the thing that grows my business.
12:07
Nicole Laino: So it shouldn't be my highest priority.
12:10
Nicole Laino: It can be a priority for me personally.
12:13
Nicole Laino: But business wise, if I'm in business growth mode, I know better than that.
12:17
Nicole Laino: And I wasn't listening to that.
12:19
Nicole Laino: And what that caused was.
12:21
Nicole Laino: And maybe you've experienced this too, where you go against your design and you end up being in more confusion.
12:28
Nicole Laino: You end up wasting time, you end up wasting other resources.
12:32
Nicole Laino: You've diluted yourself now.
12:35
Nicole Laino: You've taken your attention away from what would actually move the needle for you and you've actually created less consistency and stability in your business because you got thrown off your game.
12:49
Nicole Laino: Now I'm grateful though that with human design I know how to bring myself back.
12:55
Nicole Laino: First of all, I could look back and I could say I see where I got thrown off my game, then I could look forward and say, well, I know exactly what I need to do.
13:04
Nicole Laino: Because here's the other thing.
13:05
Nicole Laino: When you're in growth mode in your business, and this is why it isn't just human design that I teach in the Authority Accelerator masterclass, it is not going to be just a masterclass of me telling you what gates mean, what your gates mean and what all of this stuff means.
13:19
Nicole Laino: You are the center of your business as an entrepreneur so you should be the first thing on your list that you are learning, that you are studying, that you are mastering.
13:29
Nicole Laino: But strategy is important.
13:31
Nicole Laino: You do need to understand how to employ strategy in your business or everything will always be hard.
13:36
Nicole Laino: You'll have a lot of tactics, but you won't have anything that's making them all work and you'll end up creating more work for yourself.
13:43
Nicole Laino: But when you are in growth mode.
13:46
Nicole Laino: So for me, I'm looking to grow my business significantly every year.
13:51
Nicole Laino: We have a goal for next year to nearly double the business.
13:55
Nicole Laino: That's a lot.
13:55
Nicole Laino: And I got a little bit caught up.
13:57
Nicole Laino: That was a big goal.
13:58
Nicole Laino: It started to feel like a lot.
14:01
Nicole Laino: And I started to fall into the this is where strategic alone thinking can really screw with you.
14:08
Nicole Laino: I started to get into I've got to do more, I have to do more.
14:13
Nicole Laino: And the truth is that if you are really a growth minded individual and if you read any book or talk to anyone who's made millions of dollars, they will tell you it's actually about doing less but better.
14:26
Nicole Laino: And that is what I stand for.
14:27
Nicole Laino: That's what got me to this point that I'm at.
14:30
Nicole Laino: We do over $300,000 a year in this business now, which that's what we're going to do this year.
14:36
Nicole Laino: I'm very proud of that.
14:37
Nicole Laino: And we did that through doing less but better.
14:40
Nicole Laino: And I fell off of that.
14:41
Nicole Laino: I did not do less but better.
14:44
Nicole Laino: I instead was looking at it and saying how do I do more?
14:47
Nicole Laino: And I did more and I did more.
14:49
Nicole Laino: And all that's doing is diluting my attention, my power and it's keeping me from the things that will actually 10x my growth.
14:58
Nicole Laino: I went into a linear growth mode by only looking at strategy.
15:03
Nicole Laino: When we talk about energy, yes, we are talking about, you know, there's manifestation and energetic alignment and magnetism and all of this, but it's also the ability to be so centered and grounded that you make a decision that is correct for you.
15:20
Nicole Laino: Correct thinking, correct moves that Feel truly right for you and that will offer you the growth that you're looking for without having to work more.
15:33
Nicole Laino: All of my non sacrals, this is even more important for you.
15:36
Nicole Laino: I have the energy to burn.
15:38
Nicole Laino: I'm just pissed off that I burned it.
15:40
Nicole Laino: And I will say this like it was my strategy and authority that brought me back.
15:45
Nicole Laino: I was frustrated and I'm a manifesting generator.
15:49
Nicole Laino: So I got frustrated and pissed.
15:51
Nicole Laino: I was so angry and salty with people.
15:54
Nicole Laino: I'm just so pissed off and not in a good place.
15:58
Nicole Laino: And the reason is that I. I knew I was doing something that I did not like, I resented it.
16:05
Nicole Laino: And if I start to resent my business, that is not how I'm meant to operate.
16:10
Nicole Laino: I should have joy.
16:11
Nicole Laino: I should feel creatively inspired, I should feel moved to my work.
16:17
Nicole Laino: And I do most of the time.
16:19
Nicole Laino: But I had this little period where I really got turned around.
16:25
Nicole Laino: But I'm so grateful I have human design because it brought me back.
16:28
Nicole Laino: It brought me back to what is true.
16:31
Nicole Laino: It brought me back to show me.
16:32
Nicole Laino: Oh, wait, almost immediately.
16:35
Nicole Laino: So I'll tell you what I did.
16:36
Nicole Laino: So I noticed this and I was like, I need to.
16:39
Nicole Laino: So I journaled and I'm like, let me get all of my feelings out.
16:42
Nicole Laino: Let me get all of my thoughts out.
16:43
Nicole Laino: Let me really work through this problem because it's all swimming in my head and I have an open head center and open ajna.
16:51
Nicole Laino: My head can get really busy.
16:53
Nicole Laino: And what it will do is it will turn on something to a crazy degree and it will drive me crazy.
17:00
Nicole Laino: Head center, mental pressure, open head center.
17:03
Nicole Laino: I don't know how to deal with mental pressure.
17:05
Nicole Laino: So.
17:05
Nicole Laino: So it just keeps building and it's so uncomfortable that it starts to really, like, get into my body.
17:13
Nicole Laino: I also have an open root center, which is more pressure, quote, unquote.
17:18
Nicole Laino: I don't know how to deal naturally with pressure.
17:21
Nicole Laino: Adrenalized pressure, the pressure to perform, the pressure to evolve.
17:25
Nicole Laino: So that's that.
17:26
Nicole Laino: Like, we've gotta go.
17:27
Nicole Laino: When am I gonna do it?
17:28
Nicole Laino: How am I gonna do it?
17:29
Nicole Laino: That fear crept into me and I started to not make the greatest decisions.
17:35
Nicole Laino: So I noticed this.
17:37
Nicole Laino: I was able to notice how frustrated I was, notice how angry I was, and say, wait, this is not how I operate.
17:44
Nicole Laino: Let me take a look at this.
17:45
Nicole Laino: So I wrote everything down and I journaled and I was like, let me get all of this out to know what is up in my head, because that will just keep spinning around up there.
17:55
Nicole Laino: It's not gonna come out I'm not going to.
17:57
Nicole Laino: It just drives you crazy.
17:58
Nicole Laino: Basically, if you have an open head center and an open AJ and you should be writing your thoughts down because they will drive you insane if you don't get them out.
18:05
Nicole Laino: You also won't know what's up there because we don't know.
18:08
Nicole Laino: We don't know until we see it on the page.
18:10
Nicole Laino: We don't know until we say it.
18:12
Nicole Laino: For some of us, I have a motor to the throat.
18:14
Nicole Laino: I say things.
18:15
Nicole Laino: I get a lot of clarity by talking.
18:17
Nicole Laino: But when it's just me and I'm sitting there, it's very helpful for me to see the thoughts on a piece of paper.
18:24
Nicole Laino: So I wrote, let me journal through this.
18:27
Nicole Laino: Let me work my way through this.
18:29
Nicole Laino: And then I started to notice what was emotionally there and what the feelings were.
18:34
Nicole Laino: So I did breath work and I did some tapping.
18:36
Nicole Laino: I started to tap immediately my eft.
18:39
Nicole Laino: So I'm starting to work through my feelings because the feelings will actually keep me in the loop.
18:44
Nicole Laino: They will keep me in that.
18:46
Nicole Laino: Trying to fix the feeling by taking action.
18:48
Nicole Laino: A lot of times, or we shut down and we can't move and we're, like, paralyzed by it.
18:53
Nicole Laino: We don't want that because all of its resistance.
18:56
Nicole Laino: We're either dealing with resistance by reactivity or we're dealing with resistance because we are shutting down.
19:02
Nicole Laino: This is what I teach my clients in business by design.
19:04
Nicole Laino: This is why they move.
19:06
Nicole Laino: This is why they change and transform over the course of the year with me, because I'm teaching them how to get them out of these resistance ruts so they do take action.
19:17
Nicole Laino: So they're taking correct action.
19:19
Nicole Laino: This is why they end up doing so much more.
19:22
Nicole Laino: And by so much more, I mean being actually productive versus just busy.
19:26
Nicole Laino: And we're working through things.
19:28
Nicole Laino: So work becomes easier, life becomes easier.
19:32
Nicole Laino: This is how you can start to make choices from a grounded place, because you aren't full of all of these feelings that are making you so uncomfortable that you feel like you have to react and do something with them.
19:45
Nicole Laino: You're the instrument.
19:47
Nicole Laino: You're an entrepreneur.
19:48
Nicole Laino: And if you're a personal brand, especially, you are the instrument.
19:52
Nicole Laino: You have to tune the instrument.
19:54
Nicole Laino: If my instrument, like, what I noticed by writing that stuff down was I had emotions and I had things that were in there that were not helpful.
20:02
Nicole Laino: My instrument was tuned badly.
20:04
Nicole Laino: I could play the right notes, but the song is not going to sound right no matter what I do until I tune that instrument again.
20:13
Nicole Laino: So I tuned my instrument.
20:14
Nicole Laino: I tapped and.
20:16
Nicole Laino: And I tapped out A lot of stuff.
20:18
Nicole Laino: P S. These are things that I have worked through over and over again.
20:24
Nicole Laino: New level, new devil.
20:26
Nicole Laino: Same shadow, different relationship to it.
20:29
Nicole Laino: I could tap through it because I have been through this and I have excavated it.
20:33
Nicole Laino: I can get through that shadow very quickly.
20:35
Nicole Laino: I can get through it in 20 minutes and actually have a breakthrough.
20:41
Nicole Laino: That's the benefit of actually doing this work.
20:44
Nicole Laino: So I go through the whole thing and I tap, and then I did a breathwork.
20:48
Nicole Laino: Now the breathwork is just working the rest of it out of my body.
20:53
Nicole Laino: And in that breath work, I start to get insights and I start to get clarity on what's actually here.
20:59
Nicole Laino: And the things that started to come up for me were just like, this is how you move, Nicole.
21:05
Nicole Laino: Nicole.
21:05
Nicole Laino: This is your way, and you know it.
21:07
Nicole Laino: You know what you have to do.
21:09
Nicole Laino: You have to clear space for it.
21:11
Nicole Laino: Because right now it might feel like that's a step back.
21:14
Nicole Laino: Like, how do I create space to do this thing that I need to do while still keeping everything in this business going?
21:21
Nicole Laino: When I am the person who does it made me say, like, I think I need to find some help.
21:26
Nicole Laino: I probably need to add to my team if I want to grow to this level.
21:30
Nicole Laino: I am having growing pains, and I'm not handling them correctly.
21:34
Nicole Laino: I added more to my plate when I needed to clear my plate.
21:38
Nicole Laino: All started to become clear.
21:39
Nicole Laino: Exactly what I needed to do and how I needed to restructure things brought me right back to my track.
21:47
Nicole Laino: I recalibrated in, like, a day after realizing this, so I was able to catch it.
21:54
Nicole Laino: And I'm not going to say that there weren't consequences.
21:57
Nicole Laino: There were things that I did, you know, I invested in things.
22:00
Nicole Laino: I lost some time, and that stuff is valuable.
22:04
Nicole Laino: But I'm able to sit here and course correct very quickly without these tools.
22:11
Nicole Laino: I watch entrepreneurs spin for years.
22:14
Nicole Laino: People stay stuck and tell me, like, they've got the same goals on their board for years on end.
22:22
Nicole Laino: If you have a goal up there and you haven't attacked it and it's been up there for more than six months, you've got to look at that.
22:29
Nicole Laino: You either don't want it or.
22:30
Nicole Laino: Or you are standing in the way and you need to figure out how to move it.
22:34
Nicole Laino: You have to figure out what's inside of you that's keeping you from taking action.
22:39
Nicole Laino: That's what I do, and that's what we're going to go over in the Authority Accelerator masterclass.
22:46
Nicole Laino: I'm taking you through this whole process of understanding yourself.
22:51
Nicole Laino: I Look at human design as the most powerful, a way of mastering yourself.
22:57
Nicole Laino: Not through vague high level tools which and exercises which could be super cool and helpful, but actually through the lens of being able to truly understand yourself, to understand why something didn't work for you and it worked for somebody else, why that advice is not the right advice for you and to save you from going down the path, or like me going too far down the path.
23:21
Nicole Laino: I caught myself very quickly.
23:24
Nicole Laino: Nothing suffered in my business.
23:26
Nicole Laino: I just know that I don't do that anymore, really.
23:29
Nicole Laino: It's very rare for me to end up anywhere down a path where I'm like, I don't know how I got here.
23:36
Nicole Laino: It was a moment.
23:37
Nicole Laino: But I also look at it with gratitude because I'm like, I see this so much more clearly now.
23:44
Nicole Laino: I know exactly what I have to do.
23:46
Nicole Laino: I'm so much more grounded in the way forward because I know that I would probably be still confused otherwise.
23:53
Nicole Laino: If I didn't have this tool.
23:55
Nicole Laino: What I would be doing is I would be still taking action in that place.
23:58
Nicole Laino: I wouldn't feel good about it.
24:00
Nicole Laino: It would start to affect my results and what I'm able to produce.
24:03
Nicole Laino: And I would look for more strategies to try to fix those.
24:06
Nicole Laino: And then I would be adding hours to my week, pulling me further away from what's important, and I would lose myself in this whole thing and my results would go down and instead I'm able to see the path, recognize that I'm not on it.
24:24
Nicole Laino: We all make a wrong turn.
24:25
Nicole Laino: Sometimes we make a wrong turn.
24:28
Nicole Laino: Do you notice when you are miles and miles away from where you were going?
24:34
Nicole Laino: Or do you notice like, as soon as you make it off the exit, you go, that wasn't my exit.
24:38
Nicole Laino: And you're able to get right back on the highway, turn around and maybe you just lost a few minutes.
24:43
Nicole Laino: That's the benefit of this.
24:45
Nicole Laino: So please, if you are interested in this, if you are an entrepreneur looking to grow a business where you are magnetic in the way that is meant for you, that you show up as your most powerful self, you make choices that are in alignment with who you are, not with who I am, not with who your last coach was, but who you are.
