Transcript
- 0:11Speaker 1: Come here to become an unshakable human and build an unshakable business according to your human design.
- 0:17Nicoel Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
- 0:22Nicoel Laino: Hello and welcome to Unshakable with Human Design, everybody.
- 0:25Nicoel Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and I am so happy to be here with you today.
- 0:30Nicoel Laino: I want to talk about money.
- 0:32Nicoel Laino: I want to talk about abundance today.
- 0:35Nicoel Laino: What I've been noticing with a lot of people lately, there's a lot of fear.
- 0:40Nicoel Laino: I think we're in the energy of fear right now.
- 0:44Nicoel Laino: I think there's a lot of uncertainty in our lives.
- 0:47Nicoel Laino: If you're in America, in the country, there's a lot of uncertainty.
- 0:52Nicoel Laino: Collectively, we're going through a lot of change.
- 0:57Nicoel Laino: We're coming to the end of 2025, and this was the year of the snake.
- 1:02Nicoel Laino: The snake is about shedding.
- 1:06Nicoel Laino: It is about letting go.
- 1:08Nicoel Laino: It is about saying, this no longer serves me.
- 1:10Nicoel Laino: I don't need it anymore.
- 1:12Nicoel Laino: I am going to let it all go.
- 1:17Nicoel Laino: Shedding identities, changing, evolving, and keeping going.
- 1:23Nicoel Laino: Now, I've never talked to a snake personally, but shedding is not uncomfortable from what it would seem and from a human standpoint of ego death and changing and evolving and shifting.
- 1:37Nicoel Laino: As a human, I personally know that is not comfortable, and I know it from working with people.
- 1:43Nicoel Laino: But I also know it from having gone through several iterations of it myself, and I know I have not had my last of them, because that's what growth is.
- 1:53Nicoel Laino: Evolution does require us to let go of parts of ourselves that no longer fit the future vision.
- 2:00Nicoel Laino: But while all of this is happening, I think that it would be helpful to talk about some principles and overall principles about money and abundance and what I have noticed.
- 2:14Nicoel Laino: So in this episode, what I'm going to talk to you about is I'm going to talk to you about how the universe has your back even when it looks like it doesn't.
- 2:20Nicoel Laino: We're going to break down a universal principle that most people forget.
- 2:25Nicoel Laino: When times are tough, and particularly in business, this can be really difficult for people.
- 2:31Nicoel Laino: And it's something that, you know, this is the work that I do is bringing people back to these truths.
- 2:37Nicoel Laino: So you could be here in this moment versus in the being triggered by past feelings coming up or future tripping into, oh, my God, what's going to happen?
- 2:48Nicoel Laino: Can we come back and ground ourselves in this moment, in these principles and these truths.
- 2:53Nicoel Laino: And this is, you know, the energy of becoming unshapeful.
- 2:55Nicoel Laino: So we're going to talk about all of that.
- 2:57Nicoel Laino: I'm going to break that down and then I'm going to talk about like just three parts to money and abundance.
- 3:02Nicoel Laino: There are three main principles at work and you kind of need to be paying attention to all of them if you want to live in an expanded place versus in a contracted place.
- 3:16Nicoel Laino: Let's start there for just a second.
- 3:18Nicoel Laino: I just want to take a moment and riff on this a little bit of the difference between contraction and expansion.
- 3:24Nicoel Laino: You know, the difference between what the two feel like.
- 3:27Nicoel Laino: You know, when things feel hard, you know, when you feel fear, shame, guilt, worry, when you're in the energy of these things, you're contracted.
- 3:38Nicoel Laino: What that usually does is it triggers our minds to go into overdrive because we want to figure it out, we want to feel safe.
- 3:46Nicoel Laino: Ultimately, this is what money is the energy of.
- 3:50Nicoel Laino: It's the energy of safety and support.
- 3:53Nicoel Laino: And the lack of it usually means that we feel unsafe and unsupported.
- 3:59Nicoel Laino: And what I see over and over again is what people will do is they will feed into this lack and fear and go into overdrive in their thinking, try to fix the lack through action, and then they're taking action in the energy of lack.
- 4:16Nicoel Laino: And that often doesn't lead to what they want to create.
- 4:20Nicoel Laino: Now, on the flip side, I see people who do the work, who heal, who go through all of the expansion work to get out of that contracted state and things start happening for them, but it doesn't necessarily happen the way that they thought it would.
- 4:40Nicoel Laino: And I understand this, I really get this, how this can be a bit of a mind fuck for us because what we can do, and this is kind of that principle that most people forget when times are tough in business, especially, because in business what we do is we're thinking, you know, we put the order in with the universe, right?
- 4:59Nicoel Laino: We think that's what manifestation is.
- 5:02Nicoel Laino: We think that's what being in the energy of what we want is.
- 5:06Nicoel Laino: I told the universe I wanted these things.
- 5:08Nicoel Laino: I said that I wanted 10k months, I said that I wanted 20k months, I said that I wanted all of this stuff.
- 5:14Nicoel Laino: And then you do a thing.
- 5:15Nicoel Laino: So you have a launch, you host an event, you put something out there, you do the thing, right?
- 5:23Nicoel Laino: So now you've made in your mind a pathway, you've made a story.
- 5:28Nicoel Laino: You said, okay, I asked for this thing, I'm doing this particular action.
- 5:33Nicoel Laino: I am putting this offer Out.
- 5:35Nicoel Laino: I am hosting a launch, I am hosting an event.
- 5:38Nicoel Laino: I'm doing these things.
- 5:40Nicoel Laino: Therefore, the money will come.
- 5:41Nicoel Laino: The thing that I asked for will come through this channel.
- 5:45Nicoel Laino: The principle is that most people forget is that we get to ask for whatever we want.
- 5:49Nicoel Laino: We don't get to choose how it comes to us.
- 5:52Nicoel Laino: So there's one rule that exists in my world and with my clients in our programs, like in business by design, is I always say, like, don't shit on a win if money comes to you if things happen.
- 6:05Nicoel Laino: So I used to say this all the time.
- 6:06Nicoel Laino: I used to get frustrated because I was working really hard in my business and I was healing and I was going through all of my stuff while I wasn't done.
- 6:15Nicoel Laino: I hadn't healed completely, but I was actively doing it.
- 6:18Nicoel Laino: I'm thinking back to like 20, 21, when I was, you know, I got certified in EFT.
- 6:24Nicoel Laino: I was tapping all the time.
- 6:26Nicoel Laino: I was really going into my beliefs, my energy blocks, all of those things.
- 6:30Nicoel Laino: I was doing Reiki healings.
- 6:32Nicoel Laino: I had all these things going on, Hired shamans.
- 6:35Nicoel Laino: I did all of those things right.
- 6:37Nicoel Laino: And now I'm watching for, when is the money going to show up?
- 6:41Nicoel Laino: And the money would come, but it would come through my husband.
- 6:45Nicoel Laino: I would look at it and I'd be like, I'm still a failure, was the belief that I had.
- 6:49Nicoel Laino: I'm still a failure.
- 6:51Nicoel Laino: And I think that this example illustrates sort of the energetic principles that are at play.
- 6:58Nicoel Laino: Rather than being grateful that I got what I asked for, it just didn't come the way that I thought it would come or the way that would validate me.
- 7:08Nicoel Laino: It came through the path of least resistance, almost to the dollar.
- 7:12Nicoel Laino: The numbers that I would be asking for would come in some unexpected, out of the blue, completely random bonus that my husband would get.
- 7:22Nicoel Laino: He'd be like.
- 7:22Nicoel Laino: He'd come in the office and he'd be like, oh, they just gave me a bonus.
- 7:26Nicoel Laino: Be like, really?
- 7:26Nicoel Laino: For how much?
- 7:27Nicoel Laino: And it'd be like, the exact amount that I was, like, writing down in my journal that I wanted to create in my launches or in whatever I was doing.
- 7:34Nicoel Laino: And I'd be like, why?
- 7:36Nicoel Laino: That's supposed to be mine?
- 7:38Nicoel Laino: Because I needed that validation at the time.
- 7:41Nicoel Laino: Rather than being grateful that it came that I got what I asked for, it showed up differently than I thought it would.
- 7:49Nicoel Laino: That's like that first step.
- 7:51Nicoel Laino: And I see this with entrepreneurs all the time.
- 7:54Nicoel Laino: I see this with people all the time where they ask for something and then it comes to them in A different way.
- 8:01Nicoel Laino: We had this come up recently with someone that I know, someone that I'm working with, where they got offered a job, and the job is doing exactly what they want to do, exactly what they built their business around, only someone's going to pay them to do the work.
- 8:17Nicoel Laino: And it's not perfect, but it is like perfectly aligned with this person's incarnation, cross with their mission, with everything that they've been asking for, this job represents.
- 8:31Nicoel Laino: But for them it's like, oh, but I'm a failure if I take this.
- 8:36Nicoel Laino: If it doesn't feel good, that's a different story.
- 8:39Nicoel Laino: But if it does feel good, don't let a story cause you to spit in the universe's face, because it did give you what you were asking for.
- 8:46Nicoel Laino: And maybe this is the thing you're supposed to say yes to right now.
- 8:50Nicoel Laino: The stories we have in our mind are what keep us from abundance.
- 8:55Nicoel Laino: They keep us from the thing that we are trying to create.
- 8:58Nicoel Laino: So what we have to create in our energy is we have to create a sense of safety.
- 9:04Nicoel Laino: And a sense of safety is the essence of trust.
- 9:08Nicoel Laino: This is what expansion feels like.
- 9:11Nicoel Laino: It feels like being in a state of I've got this, I've totally got this, I've got it, no matter what expansion.
- 9:21Nicoel Laino: So we're either in the energy of contraction and contraction, usually for somebody who is a go getter, that will then turn into control.
- 9:31Nicoel Laino: We'll try to control the situation.
- 9:33Nicoel Laino: Okay, I'm not getting what I want.
- 9:34Nicoel Laino: I'm scared.
- 9:35Nicoel Laino: So I'm gonna try to control this.
- 9:38Nicoel Laino: And I am a big controller.
- 9:39Nicoel Laino: I'm a reformed controller.
- 9:41Nicoel Laino: I love to control things, but when you can sit back and not look to control it, but to actually sit, wait and wait for correct action.
- 9:50Nicoel Laino: And this is what human design helps us with.
- 9:52Nicoel Laino: This saved me.
- 9:53Nicoel Laino: Human design saved me from this.
- 9:57Nicoel Laino: Controlling this need to control things, to jump in and try to rescue myself and rescue my business and to create trust in my body instead and take action from that place.
- 10:10Nicoel Laino: Because when we are in the energy of control, we're usually in the energy of lack.
- 10:13Nicoel Laino: When we're in the energy of lack, we tend to get more of what we lack.
- 10:17Nicoel Laino: We tend to get more of what we don't want.
- 10:20Nicoel Laino: But when we are in the energy of expansion, we are in the energy of trust, then we tend to get more of what we actually want.
- 10:28Nicoel Laino: We don't have to work as hard, we don't have to push, and people start to come to us for exactly what we are Trying to get them to come to us for what we're meant for rather than what we think will get us the result that we want.
- 10:41Nicoel Laino: So we push and control and maybe end up doing something that doesn't feel right because we just want the result.
- 10:48Nicoel Laino: This is the energetic game in business, and this is how it plays.
- 10:51Nicoel Laino: And this is true in all areas of our life.
- 10:54Nicoel Laino: This is true in your marriage.
- 10:55Nicoel Laino: This is true in your job, if you have a corporate job.
- 10:59Nicoel Laino: But entrepreneurs, we have the ability.
- 11:02Nicoel Laino: Here's why it comes up for entrepreneurs a lot more, is because we make the decisions, we take the action.
- 11:08Nicoel Laino: We are the captain of the ship.
- 11:11Nicoel Laino: So we have the ability to change things, which can lead to us trying to control things because we have the ability to do that.
- 11:19Nicoel Laino: You might have to sit back and wait and chill out and just surrender a little bit.
- 11:24Nicoel Laino: If it's your boss that's causing you to be in this state.
- 11:28Nicoel Laino: If something goes wrong at work, you might not have the ability to change force.
- 11:33Nicoel Laino: So you're not going to jump in there and control it because that's not your job.
- 11:36Nicoel Laino: So it's saving you a little bit from this controlling sort of energy.
- 11:42Nicoel Laino: But I want to talk now about just three parts to the whole money process, the abundance process that I think get lost and what I teach my clients inside business by design.
- 11:54Nicoel Laino: But we are also running Black Friday sales right now.
- 11:58Nicoel Laino: If you're listening to this, the week of Black Friday, we have sales running all week.
- 12:02Nicoel Laino: And one of the sales is for our money bundle, which this very much encapsulates what you get in here with the things that we tackle in that particular program.
- 12:12Nicoel Laino: It's three courses, three programs that we've put together into basically owning your money destiny.
- 12:20Nicoel Laino: And these are the three parts that are part of it that we take you through so that you can be in the energy of expansion all the time.
- 12:26Nicoel Laino: This, I don't think understanding the energetics of money is an optional thing for, I think, for anybody, but for entrepreneurs, especially because so much of what we make is tied to who we are being and the energy that we are in.
- 12:42Nicoel Laino: So we have greater control over how much money we make.
- 12:47Nicoel Laino: We have greater ability, greater upside potential, but we also have greater downside potential.
- 12:52Nicoel Laino: So this is why I think you have to learn this.
- 12:55Nicoel Laino: It should be required for every entrepreneur to understand the energy of money.
- 13:00Nicoel Laino: So let's break it down for you into these three pieces that I think get forgotten, get overlooked.
- 13:07Nicoel Laino: One of them gets a little bit too much attention.
- 13:11Nicoel Laino: That not too much attention.
- 13:12Nicoel Laino: It just Gets overshadowed, it overshadows the other two.
- 13:15Nicoel Laino: And you really need all three pieces working or you're going to be missing something.
- 13:20Nicoel Laino: So the first part is one that we often talk about a lot, money beliefs, the money story.
- 13:25Nicoel Laino: What do you have to let go of the triggers around money?
- 13:28Nicoel Laino: And this is one of those things that will cause you to go into the controlling.
- 13:32Nicoel Laino: You will have an experience with money.
- 13:35Nicoel Laino: A bill will come in unexpectedly.
- 13:37Nicoel Laino: You will not have a launch go well, you'll have a moment where a, you know, you had a great month last month and then this month is shaping up to not be a great month, or maybe it's a terrible month.
- 13:49Nicoel Laino: And you're like that fear is usually triggered by some history that you have with money, some history you have with support.
- 13:58Nicoel Laino: What I find is that the most common belief that I have to overcome with the people that I work with, and this was the one that I had to work with on myself as well, is this feeling of unsupported.
- 14:09Nicoel Laino: Being unsupported, being unsupported in your life, being unsupported with money, being unsupported, probably from childhood, this shows up.
- 14:18Nicoel Laino: And unsupported doesn't mean that you don't have support.
- 14:20Nicoel Laino: I have tons of support.
- 14:22Nicoel Laino: But my story, my inner child did not feel supported, did not feel things came to me easily, did not feel like if I needed somebody, they would be there.
- 14:34Nicoel Laino: So it doesn't matter what's in front of me now.
- 14:37Nicoel Laino: If the feeling like money comes, money goes, usually can be tied to feelings that we have in life in general.
- 14:45Nicoel Laino: Money comes, money goes, support comes, support goes.
- 14:49Nicoel Laino: The things that you believe and the feelings that you have around money and support are causing the issues you have around money and support.
- 15:00Nicoel Laino: I can't go into all of it here because it is so vast, but when you look at it, that feeling of unsupported causes you to not build a team because you feel like nobody can do it like you.
- 15:12Nicoel Laino: So you have an overloaded workload.
- 15:15Nicoel Laino: You are burning yourself out.
- 15:17Nicoel Laino: You feel like you can't afford help, so you have this belief that you have to do it yourself, because the belief underneath that is that you are unsupported.
- 15:26Nicoel Laino: So do you see how it affects the behavior?
- 15:28Nicoel Laino: It's not just what you're attracting with.
- 15:30Nicoel Laino: It's not just like you're magnetizing crappy things to you because you feel unsupported.
- 15:34Nicoel Laino: It means that you are taking action and you are behaving in alignment with the belief and you're doing it on an Unconscious level.
- 15:44Nicoel Laino: Because you might say it's very plausible.
- 15:47Nicoel Laino: It makes a lot of sense.
- 15:48Nicoel Laino: We're talking logically here.
- 15:50Nicoel Laino: I don't have the money to hire somebody.
- 15:53Nicoel Laino: Maybe you do, maybe you don't.
- 15:54Nicoel Laino: When I first hired somebody, I did not have the money to hire her.
- 15:57Nicoel Laino: My husband told me not to hire anybody.
- 15:59Nicoel Laino: Why are you hiring somebody?
- 16:00Nicoel Laino: You've got to get rid of these people.
- 16:02Nicoel Laino: We're not making it here.
- 16:03Nicoel Laino: You've.
- 16:03Nicoel Laino: But I knew in my heart that I had to or I wasn't going to be able to do the important things.
- 16:09Nicoel Laino: I couldn't get it all done myself.
- 16:12Nicoel Laino: I had to overcome that belief and say like, well, I got to figure out how.
- 16:15Nicoel Laino: I have to figure out a way that's an expanded view not in alignment with what my environment was telling me, but also what my beliefs were.
- 16:25Nicoel Laino: I had to overcome that.
- 16:26Nicoel Laino: I had to believe that someone could support me.
- 16:29Nicoel Laino: I had to believe that the universe would support me enough that if I hired somebody and I was able to double my workload because of it, that I could take on more clients, that I could market more, that I could do things better, that the money would come.
- 16:44Nicoel Laino: That's the energy of trust.
- 16:46Nicoel Laino: If I were in the energy of unsupported, there, I wouldn't have been able to overcome that with my action.
- 16:53Nicoel Laino: So there's so many ways that this actually comes up in your business, but this is often one.
- 16:58Nicoel Laino: We talk about money blocks, but so many people throw their hands up like it's something that is beyond them, that they can't overcome it.
- 17:04Nicoel Laino: It's a past life thing or it's something ancestral.
- 17:08Nicoel Laino: And it could be it's still going to show up in your behavior.
- 17:12Nicoel Laino: It's still going to be visible to you to show you where your work is.
- 17:17Nicoel Laino: And often people have done work around their money beliefs, but they haven't done the right work around it.
- 17:23Nicoel Laino: It isn't just filling out worksheets and workbooks.
- 17:26Nicoel Laino: I approach this from this is trauma, this is money trauma.
- 17:30Nicoel Laino: This is your money memory, as I call it.
- 17:33Nicoel Laino: And your money memory has to be changed.
- 17:35Nicoel Laino: It has to be shifted to be in alignment with what you want, not what you don't want.
- 17:41Nicoel Laino: So we have to start bringing those views to light.
- 17:43Nicoel Laino: We have to start saying like, oh, well, what are they?
- 17:46Nicoel Laino: And I don't have people fill out a big worksheet and you know, like, fill out this workbook and tell me what your parents thought about money.
- 17:52Nicoel Laino: We do that, but that's not the end of the work.
- 17:56Nicoel Laino: We're not Even scratching the surface with that's just telling us where to look.
- 18:00Nicoel Laino: Now the work is, okay, well, let's go into them.
- 18:02Nicoel Laino: Let's go into those beliefs.
- 18:03Nicoel Laino: Let's dive in there and really get to the emotion of what we're feeling here.
- 18:08Nicoel Laino: Because the emotion is what ties the story to you.
- 18:12Nicoel Laino: If there's no emotional connection, you will forget it.
- 18:15Nicoel Laino: You will not have any sort of tie to it.
- 18:18Nicoel Laino: You'll be able to let it go very easily.
- 18:20Nicoel Laino: But if it's a pattern and something you are experiencing over and over again, then you haven't cut that tie.
- 18:26Nicoel Laino: There is an emotional connection, and that needs to be severed or healed is more of a.
- 18:31Nicoel Laino: Is a nicer way to say it, but that needs to be healed in order for you to move forward.
- 18:37Nicoel Laino: The emotional connection we have to our past experiences are the glue that holds us to those past experiences.
- 18:45Nicoel Laino: If we have experiences with lack.
- 18:48Nicoel Laino: If we have experiences and there was an emotional connection.
- 18:51Nicoel Laino: You know, I would feel embarrassed in school when I was younger because I was constantly told we couldn't afford things.
- 18:57Nicoel Laino: I was constantly told if I wanted new sneakers, it was, you know, the knockoff brand, and everybody had the brand names.
- 19:05Nicoel Laino: And I like my stuff.
- 19:07Nicoel Laino: I really do.
- 19:08Nicoel Laino: I always did.
- 19:09Nicoel Laino: And I was always told that I couldn't have it.
- 19:12Nicoel Laino: My grandparents would buy me something.
- 19:13Nicoel Laino: You know, I had to wait for, like, Christmas or birthday to get something that I really wanted.
- 19:18Nicoel Laino: And, like, it would kill my mother to buy something that she could have gotten cheaper someplace else.
- 19:25Nicoel Laino: Like, the label meant nothing to her.
- 19:27Nicoel Laino: But to me, I did care.
- 19:29Nicoel Laino: And I would rather get one present than 10, one that I really wanted than 10 that I wasn't very excited about.
- 19:35Nicoel Laino: That's just me.
- 19:36Nicoel Laino: I'm not saying that's the right way, but what I had was I had a lot of embarrassment and a lot of feeling like, everything's expensive.
- 19:43Nicoel Laino: We'll never have enough.
- 19:44Nicoel Laino: They'll never be enough.
- 19:46Nicoel Laino: We were always struggling with money, and it was very vocal in my home.
- 19:51Nicoel Laino: I had to go back into those memories.
- 19:53Nicoel Laino: I had to go back in and heal that and actually confront what it was that smaller version of me was feeling.
- 20:01Nicoel Laino: So we have to do that.
- 20:02Nicoel Laino: And that's the money memory.
- 20:03Nicoel Laino: That's the first part.
- 20:04Nicoel Laino: The second part is the manifestation.
- 20:06Nicoel Laino: And we talk about this.
- 20:07Nicoel Laino: A lot of people talk about this manifestation is get confused, I think, a lot with, you know, like, just thinking about things.
- 20:15Nicoel Laino: We think about things.
- 20:16Nicoel Laino: We think about what we want.
- 20:17Nicoel Laino: We put our order in with the universe.
- 20:19Nicoel Laino: As I like to Say, but when you place an order with Amazon, not that we want to place orders with Amazon, but you know what I mean.
- 20:26Nicoel Laino: You place an order with Amazon, you are sure it will show up, right?
- 20:31Nicoel Laino: Even if it's late, you're like, I'm.
- 20:32Nicoel Laino: It's going to get here.
- 20:33Nicoel Laino: You're not thinking about it.
- 20:34Nicoel Laino: You're not watching the door all day if you just ordered something that you need.
- 20:38Nicoel Laino: You're not like peeking out the window, are they here yet?
- 20:40Nicoel Laino: Are they here there?
- 20:40Nicoel Laino: Are you here yet?
- 20:41Nicoel Laino: No.
- 20:42Nicoel Laino: You go about your day.
- 20:43Nicoel Laino: You live your life.
- 20:44Nicoel Laino: You go to sleep that night.
- 20:46Nicoel Laino: You wake up the next day, you're like, it should get here sometime today.
- 20:48Nicoel Laino: You trust that it will be there.
- 20:50Nicoel Laino: That energy of trust is what you need when you put in an order with the universe.
- 20:55Nicoel Laino: For what you ask, for what you are looking for.
- 20:58Nicoel Laino: Being in the energy of trust.
- 21:00Nicoel Laino: I don't know when it'll show up, but it's coming.
- 21:02Nicoel Laino: I don't know it'll show up, but I know it's on its way.
- 21:04Nicoel Laino: I don't know when.
- 21:05Nicoel Laino: I don't know how, but I know it's coming.
- 21:08Nicoel Laino: Because as long as I believe that it's mine already, then I will see it.
- 21:13Nicoel Laino: The problem with most people is that, well, one, this works, and they see it work.
- 21:20Nicoel Laino: And you've probably had this experience too, where you have been really dialed in.
- 21:25Nicoel Laino: You felt energetically connected and like, it feels like the world is wired in your favor that you're like, I don't know, like it's all happening.
- 21:33Nicoel Laino: It's all happening.
- 21:33Nicoel Laino: It's all working.
- 21:35Nicoel Laino: And you feel that.
- 21:36Nicoel Laino: And that leads to usually more and more of it, because you were in the energy of things happening, and you were probably doing step three as well, which we'll talk about that in a second, because that's an important piece to this.
- 21:48Nicoel Laino: But it just.
- 21:48Nicoel Laino: It feels like everything is working.
- 21:50Nicoel Laino: It feels like you turned a corner.
- 21:51Nicoel Laino: It feels like it's all happening.
- 21:53Nicoel Laino: And then a challenge shows up and that says to you, well, maybe it's not working anymore.
- 22:01Nicoel Laino: Oh, no.
- 22:02Nicoel Laino: Now you get into contraction.
- 22:04Nicoel Laino: Even though right in front of you might be evidence that everything is in fact okay in this moment, that everything is in fact all right.
- 22:13Nicoel Laino: I have people who do this too, where they're panicking about their business, and they do have a spouse or a partner or somebody who can handle the load, and they are still making money in their business, and it's still going.
- 22:29Nicoel Laino: It's just not going as well as it did before.
- 22:31Nicoel Laino: And I understand this as well, that this causes them to panic, and then that energy of panic forces them back into that energy of control.
- 22:40Nicoel Laino: Now, we're not in that manifesting energy.
- 22:42Nicoel Laino: We are manifesting.
- 22:43Nicoel Laino: We're just manifesting with what we don't want rather than what we do want.
- 22:47Nicoel Laino: So these little moments of challenge are.
- 22:50Nicoel Laino: I don't like the word test because it seems like the universe is like, let me see if she could really handle it.
- 22:58Nicoel Laino: I don't really think it works like that.
- 23:00Nicoel Laino: I think things just happen.
- 23:02Nicoel Laino: And then the test is our test.
- 23:06Nicoel Laino: Where can I stay in the energy of what I want, even when it seems like it's not going to happen?
- 23:11Nicoel Laino: Can I stay open to possibility rather than going on a downward spiral?
- 23:17Nicoel Laino: This is a test both universally, because the universe responds to that energy.
- 23:22Nicoel Laino: If we stay in it corrects itself.
- 23:24Nicoel Laino: It will work it out, and we'll get what we need.
- 23:27Nicoel Laino: Right.
- 23:28Nicoel Laino: Sometimes it's giving us that challenge to show us where there's something in our energy that's not open to the next thing that we're asking for.
- 23:36Nicoel Laino: Triggers are gifts.
- 23:37Nicoel Laino: So once you do that initial clearing in the first stage of, you know, all of your money beliefs, then if something comes up, I still have stuff come up.
- 23:45Nicoel Laino: I've done tons of clearing and been doing this work for years.
- 23:48Nicoel Laino: I still have stuff come up because I don't have everything that I want.
- 23:52Nicoel Laino: I'm not a perfect human being.
- 23:53Nicoel Laino: I have challenges.
- 23:55Nicoel Laino: I have triggers still.
- 23:56Nicoel Laino: But the difference is that they're not so deeply rooted that I can't see them.
- 24:00Nicoel Laino: I'm aware of them.
- 24:02Nicoel Laino: And I know that if I get triggered, I say thanks, because that's the universe showing me where I have instability in my energy, where I am not trusting, where I'm still connected to something I don't want.
- 24:16Nicoel Laino: So rather than freaking out about, oh, my God, what does this mean?
- 24:20Nicoel Laino: I just say, what is the trigger?
- 24:22Nicoel Laino: What am I feeling here?
- 24:24Nicoel Laino: And I can move through it, and I can clear that and shift it very quickly.
- 24:30Nicoel Laino: The art of shifting in the moment is an art that every entrepreneur needs to cultivate.
- 24:38Nicoel Laino: We need to master this because it is going to be rocky at times.
- 24:43Nicoel Laino: It is going to.
- 24:43Nicoel Laino: The economy is going to shift.
- 24:45Nicoel Laino: People aren't going to buy.
- 24:46Nicoel Laino: There's going to be changes.
- 24:48Nicoel Laino: We're going to want to change.
- 24:49Nicoel Laino: You might want to do something different in your business.
- 24:52Nicoel Laino: That's going to be a scary move.
- 24:54Nicoel Laino: But can we be in the energy of trust while we walk through and make those changes, or are we in the Energy of lack and fear.
- 25:01Nicoel Laino: You're a human.
- 25:02Nicoel Laino: It's human to be afraid.
- 25:03Nicoel Laino: I get it.
- 25:04Nicoel Laino: I worry.
- 25:05Nicoel Laino: I just don't stay there.
- 25:07Nicoel Laino: And that's the difference between people who continue to move forward and up without major setbacks and the people who fall down and don't get back up.
- 25:23Nicoel Laino: Not every year is your best year, but it's.
- 25:25Nicoel Laino: What do you do from that place of being like, this wasn't my best year.
- 25:30Nicoel Laino: Do you make it mean something about you and what next year will be?
- 25:34Nicoel Laino: Or do you say, okay, this is what I'm dealing with.
- 25:36Nicoel Laino: I'm going to feel all the feelings that I'm feeling here, and I'm going to work on my expansion here.
- 25:43Nicoel Laino: I'm going to expand my energy.
- 25:45Nicoel Laino: I'm going to really tap into what I want.
- 25:48Nicoel Laino: This is manifestation.
- 25:49Nicoel Laino: This is the second part.
- 25:50Nicoel Laino: I want to be in the energy of what I want, not the energy of what I don't want.
- 25:55Nicoel Laino: And then the third piece is action.
- 25:58Nicoel Laino: Action in alignment with your belief, with your positive belief, and taking action in the energy of expansion.
- 26:05Nicoel Laino: Not desperation.
- 26:07Nicoel Laino: Desperate action is contraction.
- 26:10Nicoel Laino: We don't get what we want, or we don't get as much of what we want in that space.
- 26:14Nicoel Laino: You can make something happen with hustle, but it's not sustainable.
- 26:18Nicoel Laino: And it often doesn't pay off the way that we want it to.
- 26:21Nicoel Laino: So.
- 26:22Nicoel Laino: Or it creates some sort of like, desperation or the wrong people or something all around it.
- 26:28Nicoel Laino: But when we are in this energy of expansion, it's contagious.
- 26:32Nicoel Laino: And when we are in action in that, it's easier to take more action.
- 26:37Nicoel Laino: It's very easy to.
- 26:38Nicoel Laino: To do more and to be more truly productive.
- 26:41Nicoel Laino: I don't mean busy, but to be truly productive, to do the things you say you want to do, the things that serve your vision, the things that truly align with what you want to create in this life.
- 26:53Nicoel Laino: When you are in the energy and energy of belief, when you are believing that it's already happened, it's very easy to walk in that direction.
- 27:04Nicoel Laino: If you believe that the launch is going to be successful, it's pretty much easy for you to show up for it.
- 27:11Nicoel Laino: If you believe that the launch will not be successful, it's probably going to be harder for you to show up and do that work.
- 27:16Nicoel Laino: If you really don't believe it'll work, or you're going to be trying to control it so badly that you ruin the experience of it, and then you'll wonder when it's done, did I create this result with my energy or Was there something actually wrong with the way that I did this?
- 27:32Nicoel Laino: This is that sometimes we need a strategic answer to a problem, and sometimes there's an energetic answer, and often it's both.
- 27:43Nicoel Laino: But the energy of money is always at play.
- 27:45Nicoel Laino: The energy of expansion is always at play.
- 27:47Nicoel Laino: The energy of contraction always at play.
- 27:50Nicoel Laino: We have to start to see this.
- 27:53Nicoel Laino: And if you can start to see it, then you realize, I feel like it's like when Neo in the Matrix starts to see the bullets going by.
- 28:02Nicoel Laino: And it can start to see, oh, I can slow it all down.
- 28:06Nicoel Laino: That's what this starts to become.
- 28:09Nicoel Laino: It starts to become something where you're like, oh, I see what's happening here.
- 28:13Nicoel Laino: It's not something I take personally.
- 28:15Nicoel Laino: It's not something that I'm caught up in.
- 28:18Nicoel Laino: I'm not in the Matrix and witnessing it.
- 28:20Nicoel Laino: And that's the level that we want to get to, and that's the level where I'm not going to say that it's all perfect.
- 28:26Nicoel Laino: I'm perfectly honest with you here.
- 28:28Nicoel Laino: There are times where I am not graceful, I am not my best self.
- 28:33Nicoel Laino: I just don't stay there long.
- 28:34Nicoel Laino: And I have enough presence to not get sucked into the fears of the moment so deeply that I can't get myself out of them.
- 28:46Nicoel Laino: I can quickly come back to a neutral place.
- 28:49Nicoel Laino: And I do that through my tools.
- 28:51Nicoel Laino: I do that through journaling, I do that through.
- 28:56Nicoel Laino: I speak what I want out loud and I bring myself back.
- 28:59Nicoel Laino: I do it through gratitude, but I do it mostly through the tools that I use constantly, which are eft, breath, work.
- 29:07Nicoel Laino: I do them every day.
- 29:09Nicoel Laino: And that's to keep me at a neutral state, to start my day from a neutral place, to not start my day with fear in my body, to really recognize what's there, honor it, witness it, but not put energy into it.
- 29:24Nicoel Laino: And to bring my body back to a neutral place so that energetically I'm not bringing anything I don't want into my actions.
- 29:35Nicoel Laino: Right.
