It starts with 16 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 3: a bigger belief in what's possible for you, because the 17 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 3: truth is, you can earn more, you can save more, 18 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 3: you can build more. Today we're talking about the mindset 19 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 3: shift that can change your whole financial future and how 20 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 3: to start building it for real. 21 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: I'm excited, and. 22 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 3: I'm joined by Victoria de Mine, who has a very 23 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,559 Speaker 3: abundant brain and also a real understanding of how money 24 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 3: actually works. 25 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 4: IBD, I have an abundant brain. Yeah, I like that, 26 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 4: but also I'm not entirely sure what that means. 27 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: No, actually, and me also, but it just felt right. 28 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 5: I just know I like it. 29 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 4: I like I feel like I do have an abundant 30 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 4: brain now, but I haven't for a very long time. 31 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 4: Like I do try very hard to focus on like 32 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 4: on abundan. It sounds real fluffy, but I think it 33 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 4: actually works. So I guess I am here for this 34 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 4: because honestly, when people ask me, VI, what's the one 35 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 4: thing that separates people who build wealth from those people 36 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 4: who stay stuck? It's not income. It's not even intelligence, right, 37 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 4: it's mindset. Like it's whether you believe wealth is actually 38 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 4: available to you or whether you're stuck in survival mode 39 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 4: without even realizing it. It is why I talk until 40 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 4: the Cows come Home about you understanding your money story 41 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 4: and where you have come from, Because if you cannot 42 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 4: understand where you're coming from, Beck, how do you create 43 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 4: a map to go where you want to go. 44 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so true. 45 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 4: Like you can't just get in the car and start 46 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 4: driving and be like, oh, I know I'm going to 47 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 4: end up in Queensland. 48 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, well what if. 49 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 4: You're starting in Darwin? What if you're starting in Melbourne? 50 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 4: Like how do how do we know where the map 51 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 4: needs to lead? You know? Yes, yes, it's kind of 52 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 4: like it does sound a bit fluffy and I get that, 53 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 4: but bear with me because I'm a science girlie and 54 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 4: there is genuine, real science behind why mindset that is 55 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 4: for your money, yea, So we're going to share that with. 56 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: You, gorgeous, because I know it also matters. 57 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 3: Like the map thing, It's like you need to build 58 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 3: a map based on where you're starting from, and that 59 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 3: means that like maybe you're a person of color, maybe 60 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 3: you grew up in a really poor household. 61 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: It looks different for everyone. So the point is it 62 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: probably is possible to get there. 63 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 5: It is. 64 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: It just probably it is. 65 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 3: It is, It's just it looks very different for different people. 66 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 3: So exactly, let's start at the very beginning. What even 67 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 3: is an abundance mindset? 68 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 4: So an abundance mindset is hard it's hard because as 69 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 4: human beings, we are literally wired for survival. So remember that, 70 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 4: because when you're finding it hard, it's not because it's you. 71 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: It's because that's. 72 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 4: How we're wired. But believing that wealth is not a 73 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 4: limited resource is a very important start. It's believing that 74 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 4: it is genuinely possible to create more, not that success 75 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 4: or money is only for a lucky few like babe, 76 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 4: it's for you too. You just need to work for it, 77 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 4: like you just need to step into your abundance mindset era. 78 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 4: The opposite of that, though, is a scarcity mindset, which 79 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 4: I think we need to understand as much as an 80 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 4: abundance mindset. We're not trying to embrace it, but if 81 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 4: we don't understand it, we can't identify when we're falling 82 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 4: into it. And it's the belief that God, there's never enough, 83 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 4: that somebody else wins you loose, and that you have 84 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 4: to hoard and protect everything because there's not going to 85 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 4: be more. And if you know you're talking before you know, 86 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 4: if you grew up in a really poor background, you 87 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 4: are probably going to have that mindset of scarcity because 88 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 4: you're like, well, I don't know when we're going to 89 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 4: get paid next, or I don't know if we're going 90 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 4: to run out of food, Like I see it all 91 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 4: the time in these situations and conversations, and like it 92 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 4: makes me sad. But at the same time, I'm like, 93 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 4: how good is this that we're identifying this because we 94 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 4: can work with this. 95 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 2: We can work with this, like we can work with anything. 96 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 4: We just need to be able to articulate and identify 97 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 4: and that's perfect. And studies actually show us with a 98 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 4: growth orient mindset, an abundant mindset tends to be more 99 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,119 Speaker 4: financially resilient. People with an abundance mindset back are better 100 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 4: at long term planning, and they are more likely to 101 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 4: invest in themselves, in their own skills and their own future. 102 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 2: Like, sorry, all of I want all of that, Like 103 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: all of that I would like to sign up for. 104 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 4: Do you not want that? Does not everyone not want 105 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 4: to be an abundant mindset person? 106 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: Exactly? 107 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so fair, but it can Yeah, definitely can 108 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: be disheartening when you're like, if you've grown up in 109 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: a household that's a little bit poorer and you're like, 110 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 3: I don't have that money to fall back, yeah. 111 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 4: Or like you might be telling yourself the story of like, 112 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 4: oh that's not possible for me. Yeah, you know, my 113 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 4: family don't do that, or no, like that's just not 114 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 4: how it works, like completely valid, but we can get 115 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 4: out of that. 116 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: So in the context of our money and finances, why 117 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: is this important? Because I said so, that's so true, 118 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 2: and that is the end of the show. You have 119 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: a good day, bye. 120 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 4: But honestly, I feel like I'm being a hippie dippy, 121 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 4: But like, let's step into this abundance mindset. It honestly 122 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 4: matters with money because it changes everything about how you 123 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 4: show up financially. It's not just about surviving the setbacks. 124 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 4: It's about being opened to building more, to creating more, 125 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 4: to earning more, and believing, go, there's enough for you 126 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 4: and everybody else, Like. 127 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: It's going to go all around and come around, and 128 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: if I'm. 129 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 4: Successful, that should just serve as a really good example. 130 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 4: Not I'm successful and therefore you're not going to be like, 131 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 4: my success does not come at the determent of yours. 132 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 4: When you're thinking in your abundant mindset, like we're thinking abundantly, 133 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 4: you are going to back yourself. You're going to be 134 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 4: able to ask for bigger salaries and better opportunities because 135 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 4: you know more success isn't limited. Like I'm not asking 136 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 4: for this and hoping that it's just me who gets this. 137 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 4: If I ask for this and get this, I'm paving 138 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 4: the way for everyone behind me. I'm setting an example. 139 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 4: I'm showing other people what's possible. You end up investing 140 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 4: in yourself and your gills, in your future because you 141 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 4: just trust everything's going to take along and keep growing 142 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 4: like it's not capped, like you don't succeed, and then 143 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 4: full stop, end of story, we're done. You spend in 144 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 4: line with your values, which I think is so important, 145 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 4: not fear knowing that your money is disappearing the second 146 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 4: that you use it, and you save and invest because 147 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 4: you believe in a future version of you who's thriving. 148 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,679 Speaker 4: She's not struggling, she's thriving and she's living her best life, 149 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 4: like she's going to Meredith and she's not even thinking 150 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 4: about the budget. 151 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: That sounds so I really can't wait to be her, right, 152 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 2: But like she's there? Do we not want that? Yeah? 153 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 4: Like, do we not want to be in a situation 154 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 4: where we're just so comfy and we're living in line 155 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 4: with our values, and your values might be so different 156 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 4: to mine, and that is so cool. 157 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: Like genuinely, I can't. 158 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 4: Think of anything worse than going to Meredith, like not 159 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 4: showering for three days back. That's not for me. 160 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 5: It's really not like you imagine this goal at a 161 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 5: music festival, you'd thrive me you never know, you might 162 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 5: you know, I would embrace it for you, Beck, But 163 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 5: you know what I mean, everyone has different values and 164 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 5: that's really lovely. 165 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 4: But abundance turns money from something that you hoard or 166 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 4: something that you're scared of or are fearful of, into 167 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 4: something that you're building with. Yeah, like you don't have 168 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 4: to build what I'm building. You can go build your 169 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 4: own thing. It's so cool because money can turn into anything. 170 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 4: Money creates your reality. 171 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, So abundance sounds so good. Why does it 172 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 3: feel so hard to actually believe in it? Like why 173 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 3: is it so easy to slip into that? 174 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 4: Like just like houses, we are all cavemen, Like at 175 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 4: the end of the day, we used to live in caves. 176 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 4: And I mean this is me like obviously stereotyping very seriously. 177 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 4: And you know what, we might kill one goat and 178 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 4: who knows when the next goat's coming, you know, like 179 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 4: you just didn't have that. So it is hardwired into 180 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 4: our brains to live in a scarcity mindset. And there's 181 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 4: a lot going on underneath, right, Like it could be 182 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 4: in a twenty twenty five context, it could be how 183 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 4: you grew up around money, the narrative that was fed 184 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 4: to you, Like you could have grown up in a 185 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 4: really really financially constricted family and it stressed everybody out 186 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 4: no one talked about money, or you could have grown 187 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 4: up really wealthy, and so you just think, oh, my goodness, 188 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 4: wealth is for really bad people. Like I've met so 189 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 4: many people who don't like wealth because they grew up 190 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 4: with wealth and they saw how it changed people. Right, 191 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 4: I get that that doesn't mean it has to be 192 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 4: your reality. Like how cool is it beck that I 193 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 4: can be financially successful and help others? Like, just because 194 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 4: money exists doesn't mean that it is inherently bad. We 195 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 4: could talk about broader economic anxiety. So like you're seeing 196 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 4: what's going on with what's happened in politics, or you're 197 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 4: seeing what's going on and you're happening on Trump, you 198 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 4: might be really anxious about what the future holds on 199 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 4: an economic level, and then real financial experiences like I'm 200 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 4: not dismissing that you losing your job was not insanely stressful. 201 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 2: That shit sucks, right, Like, I'm not saying, oh, let 202 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 2: we just reframe it. No, that sucks. 203 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 4: Like if you are struggling in debt, God, I get it. 204 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 4: I was in more than forty thousand dollars worth of 205 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 4: personal debt. It is crippling. It makes you feel sick, 206 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 4: It stops you from sleeping at night, It changes the 207 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 4: way that you interacting your relationships with your friends and family. Like, 208 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 4: I get it, But that doesn't mean that has to 209 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 4: be your reality forever. And that's why we're talking about this. 210 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, So when you grew up with financial pressure, 211 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 3: how does that shape your mindset long term? 212 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 2: Negatively? Yeah, I can imagine. 213 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 4: Research from the American Psychological Association has shown that early 214 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 4: financial stress can actually win your brain into chronic scarcity thinking, 215 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 4: where your default setting actually is always fear, cautiousness, and 216 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 4: distrust around money. So when they talk about that and 217 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 4: when you experience that, your brain is learning that money 218 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 4: disappears really quickly. Good things beck they do not last, 219 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 4: and security is actually fragile, like we can't have long 220 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 4: term security, Like you can feel secure this week, but 221 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 4: maybe next week that is gone and is very hard 222 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 4: to come out of that. And even once your circumstances improve, 223 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 4: that wiring can actually still be running underneath to make 224 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 4: it really hard to trust that abundance is possible for you. 225 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 4: So good example, you've grown up, you didn't have heaps 226 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 4: of money. You know, security was fleeting. Like one week 227 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 4: you'd be like, oh, we're eating well this week. You 228 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 4: know we have some extra money, but like a low 229 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 4: key in the back of your mind, you just know 230 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 4: that like a month from now is not going to 231 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 4: be like that. So you're kind of like making hey, 232 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 4: well the sun's shining, like you're enjoying it as much 233 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 4: as possible. But like what if now you have a 234 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 4: really secure job, you have your emergency fund, you have 235 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 4: your savings, but you're still feeling that like you're hoarding 236 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 4: the money and it's not helping you because you still 237 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 4: ultimately think, Okay, this is just for now, though, like 238 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 4: this is just for this minute, and next week or 239 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 4: next month it's going to blow up a or it's 240 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 4: going to be taken from me. That's not something you're 241 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 4: thinking every single day, but that's the deep seated feeling. 242 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 4: Like that is the deep rooted cause of why you 243 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 4: are in a scarcity mindset, and we need to tackle that. 244 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 4: Like you can have an okay income back, you can 245 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 4: have a heap of savings and still be operating in 246 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 4: a scarcity mindset. Like just because you get more money 247 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 4: doesn't mean you feel good about it. And that's why 248 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 4: we need to work on your mindset and your money story. 249 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 4: So it could look like, let's say that you now 250 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 4: have your emergency fund set up, like you've got good 251 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 4: income coming in. It could be panicking when you spend money, 252 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 4: Like you just go into Cole's and you're still feeling 253 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 4: real anxious when you have to tap your card even 254 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 4: though you know the money's on your account, and you're like, 255 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 4: this is essential spending, like I actually have to buy 256 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 4: bread and milk. Like it could be paying bills late 257 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 4: because you're like, oh, I want to keep the money 258 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 4: in my account for as long as possible, and then going, 259 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 4: damn it, I've gotten like a late fee. Oh, like 260 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 4: and feeling like you can't be good at money. But 261 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 4: the reality is you're just like holding onto it for 262 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 4: as long as possible. It's not that you're not good 263 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 4: at money, it's that you're scared of it. You could 264 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 4: be feeling like you can never like relax financially, or 265 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 4: believing that there's like only one right. 266 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 2: Opportunity and if you miss it, you're going to be doomed. 267 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 4: Like you know, if you didn't invest right now, if 268 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 4: you didn't invest five years, got your scrooge. It's so 269 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 4: often linked to that early emotional wiring that we're talking 270 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 4: about before, not actual financial danger. It's just like these 271 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 4: ingrained thoughts and feelings right, Like back to our caveman time. Right, So, 272 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 4: you know you left your cave, you went through a 273 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 4: nice wander, you're not wearing any shoes, and a bear 274 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 4: runs after you, bear scratches you. That's terrifying, that hurt. 275 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 4: Right next time you leave your cave, you can see 276 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 4: a bear off in the distance. How do you feel, Oh, 277 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 4: we're not happy about that. Not happy, We're scared, terrified. 278 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 4: Same thing happens with money. But money's the bear right 279 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 4: right right. Just because it's there doesn't mean it hasn't 280 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 4: hurt you before. We need to like go through some 281 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 4: therapy to work out. Oh maybe that bears a friend, 282 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 4: do you know what I mean? Sure, we need to 283 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 4: change it, and we can genuinely rewire our brain. One 284 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 4: of my favorite books is by a guy called I 285 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 4: believe it's Martin Deutsche and it's called The Brain That 286 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 4: Changed Itself. Yeah, nobody else is going to care about 287 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 4: this book recommendation except for me. But it is literally 288 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 4: about neuroplasticity and the ability to rewire your brain. And 289 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 4: we're not just talking about money stories here. We're talking 290 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 4: about people who had completely catastrophic accidents, you know, became paraplegic, 291 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 4: and they worked on rewiring their brain to make completely 292 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 4: different connections so that they were still able to function. 293 00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 2: It's actually so cool. 294 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 4: But the reason I like it is like, well, if 295 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 4: they can do that, we can think differently about money. 296 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 2: Like if they can. 297 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 4: Literally rewire their brain to function differently and create this neuroplasticity, 298 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 4: I can do that. 299 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 2: I can do that with money. Yeah, I'll do it 300 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: for you, like I'll fix it. I love it. Okay, 301 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 2: So we can genuinely retrain our brains. That is really 302 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 2: good to know. 303 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 3: So let's say someone's listening to this right now, I'm 304 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 3: thinking that's literally me the bear. 305 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: The bear. 306 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 3: No, we are the caveman. Yeah, we're the caveman. What's 307 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 3: one small thing that they can do today to start 308 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 3: shifting that. 309 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 2: I'm not going to answer that. 310 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 4: I'm actually going to go to a really quick breakback, 311 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 4: because on the flip side, I'm going to answer that, 312 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 4: but I'm not just going to answer that. I'm going 313 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 4: to give you two super easy ways that you can 314 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 4: actually rewire your money mindset that you could literally start 315 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 4: doing today that is going to help your brain feel 316 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 4: a little bit safer and start stepping into like our 317 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 4: rich girl era. 318 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 2: Whoa, We'll be back in a minute. All right, welcome back, guys. 319 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 2: So before the break we really let us on a click. 320 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 4: I hyped it up too, so like, if these tips 321 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 4: are really terrible, pretend that hype up never happens. 322 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, I know they're good though, So, oh 323 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 2: my god, it's so excited. 324 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 4: So you did promise us some practical ways to actually 325 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 4: start building that rich girl mindset that needing to be 326 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 4: some finance bro or spreadsheet wizard. I'm a spreadsheet wizard, 327 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 4: so I've done it for you. We don't have a 328 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 4: finance bro, they're actually not welcome on my show. I 329 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 4: sometimes like Glenn James on my show because like he's 330 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 4: less finance bro. Yeah right, not a finance bro. 331 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 2: No, absolutely, So okay, but where do we be in? 332 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: All right? 333 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 4: The first thing you're going to do, we're building evidence 334 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 4: like I'm so sorry my case. We are building a 335 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 4: case like I wrote a thesis like I am, And 336 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 4: that's not the a flex. It's more like I feel 337 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 4: like whenever I do anything, I now have to properly 338 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 4: research and reference it, so like you should too. So 339 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 4: the first one is we are going to be colle 340 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 4: some real proof that money can flow, that money can stay, 341 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 4: that money can grow even in really small ways, Like 342 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,239 Speaker 4: we don't need to be gas lighting ourselves. We need 343 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 4: to be creating proof. We're going to create a money 344 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 4: safety snapshot. So it's probably going to take ten minutes. 345 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 4: So I want you to list financial resources you currently have, 346 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 4: even if it's teeny tiny, so you might have like 347 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 4: fifty bucks or a hundred bucks or two hundred bucks 348 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 4: in your savings. Look at your pay slip, what are 349 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 4: your sick leave entitlements? Because that's financial security. Yeah true, 350 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 4: like hadding some sick leave knowing that you can go 351 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 4: on leave when you are sick and still get paid. 352 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, that is life changing. Do you have 353 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 4: access to centlink if not? What do you need to 354 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 4: do to get access to scent link if you need it? Like, 355 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 4: what's holding you back from applying? If you're experiencing financial distress, 356 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 4: you are teaching your brain I'm not as powerless as 357 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 4: my fears as I am, and fear is a very 358 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 4: strong emotion. Psychologists they actually call this resourcing, so naming 359 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 4: your safety neck so that your brain doesn't default to 360 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 4: like worst case scenario always like how many times have 361 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 4: you been in a financial pickleback? 362 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 2: And instead of looking at the facts, you're like, oh 363 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 2: my god, I am absolutely screwed. Yeah, like every day, Yeah, 364 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 2: you just go I'm in a pickle. But we're not 365 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 2: looking at the facts. 366 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 4: And if someone actually sat you down, like I can 367 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 4: imagine if I sat you down and said, okay, back, like, 368 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 4: let's have a look. 369 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 2: What can we do? How could we resource this? You'd 370 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 2: be like, oh, actually, I do feel a bit better. 371 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 2: Do that for yourself. 372 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 4: The next wishy washy, a little bit hippy dippy, bear 373 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 4: with me. We are starting a gratitude rich, Well, this 374 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 4: literally changed my life. So it might feel small, but 375 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 4: it has a very, very big impact on your mindset. 376 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 4: So every morning, lame write down three things you're grateful for. 377 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 4: This morning, I said that I was grateful for a coffee. 378 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 4: I said that I was grateful that my baby woke 379 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 4: up instead of screaming. And I was really grateful that 380 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 4: I had an extra five minutes to actually do my makeup, 381 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 4: not in the car. It doesn't have to be bougie, right, Like, 382 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 4: it doesn't have to be like I am grateful for 383 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 4: this person solving world hunger. Like it doesn't have to 384 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 4: be that dramatic like yours could be. I'm actually really 385 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 4: grateful that I have twenty three bucks in my savings account. 386 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 4: Or I'm really grateful that I actually paid my rent 387 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 4: on time this month. That's an achievement. If you don't 388 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 4: do that consistently, how good is it when you do 389 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 4: do it on time? 390 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 2: Totally? Like that is slay. 391 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 4: This shows your brain, Hey, there's actually already some abundance 392 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 4: going on here, and that makes it so much easier 393 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 4: to believe that. 394 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 2: It is possible. 395 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 4: It might sound tippydippy, but back to the research, neuroscientists 396 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 4: have actually found that attentive gratitude practices they actually rewire 397 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 4: your brain and the pathways linked to optimism and resilience. 398 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 4: So you might go, V, this is so lame. Why 399 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 4: am I writing down three things that I'm grateful for? 400 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 4: And in the moment you might be like, no, this 401 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 4: is so dumb, and then you like write down really 402 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 4: flippant things that. 403 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 2: Is still working. 404 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I promise just by focusing on it, Like I'm 405 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 4: not just saying this because I'm like, eh, it'll make 406 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,959 Speaker 4: you feel better. No, neuroscience says that this will actually 407 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 4: help you pave different pathways, and that is what we 408 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 4: are trying to do. And according to a study from 409 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 4: the Greater Good Science Center, people who kept a daily 410 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 4: gratitude journal for just three weeks reported significantly higher optimism, 411 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 4: lower stress, and even made better financial decisions. 412 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 2: Wow, isn't that cool? 413 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's while that like actually very motivating to know 414 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 3: that it really doesn't take that long. It's not like 415 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 3: six months of very in depth gratitude journaling. 416 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 4: Three weeks, three weeks, three things, and every single morning. 417 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 4: You could do it at night as well, Like I'm 418 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 4: not sure about the researched. I mean I do it 419 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 4: in the morning because that's what the research says. But 420 00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 4: like maybe you want to make that part of your 421 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 4: nightly like reflection or whatever. And it does sound lame, 422 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 4: but I promise when you start doing these things, you 423 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 4: go fire out. This is actually starting to rewhy are 424 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 4: my brain and down it it works, do you know 425 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 4: what I mean? I thought it was dumb and then 426 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 4: I did it, and I still think it sounds dumb. 427 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 4: The dumb thing work. Unfortunately it's working. 428 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. That actually feels so doable. 429 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 3: So it's just about starting to show your brain that 430 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 3: you're already safer, already more capable than you probably give yourself. 431 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 4: A one hundred percent and you know what one could 432 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 4: be tomorrow morning back. Yeah, listen to a money podcast. 433 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 4: There you go putting yourself ahead. Do you know how 434 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 4: many people don't listen to money podcasts. If you're listening 435 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 4: to a money podcast, you clearly want better for yourself. 436 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so true. 437 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 4: Like you're clearly already in this situation where you're like, 438 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 4: I'm going to listen to a podcast on mindset. I'm 439 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 4: gonna listen to a podcast about hopefully putting myself in 440 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 4: a better position. 441 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 2: If you're listening to this, I'm talking to you so true. 442 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 2: Some people have said to me like, I can't listen 443 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 2: to shoes on the Money yet I'm not there, I'm 444 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 2: not ready. Yeah, I hear it all the time. 445 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 3: You're here and you're ready, and it doesn't matter if 446 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 3: you're technically doing things or not. 447 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 2: Like this is huge. I'm not scary, I promise anyway. 448 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 2: So what do we do next? 449 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, So, once you've got the first layer, which is 450 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 4: like your evidence, building the proof that says, hey, actually 451 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 4: maybe I am okay, the next step is actually building 452 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 4: capacities a little bit more challenging. I'm sorry, because abundance 453 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 4: isn't just about like feeling safe, right, Like feeling safe 454 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 4: is good, and it is really important because it takes 455 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 4: our fight or flight response away. 456 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 2: It makes us not feel so stressed. 457 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 4: It's about learning how to hold more, more money, more options, 458 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 4: more success. Because if no one ever showed you how 459 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 4: to feel secure with money, or they didn't teach you 460 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 4: how to trust that good things can stay, then having 461 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 4: more just feels as scary as not having enough, like 462 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 4: it genuinely does. So building capacity means getting better at 463 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 4: letting things go well. It's about noting when things start working. 464 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 4: It's not about literally ruining it for yourself. So many 465 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 4: people get money and they're like, oh my god, it 466 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 4: feels too good to be true, and they self sabotage. 467 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 2: They ruin it for themselves. 468 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 4: They blow all of their emergency savings because they're like, 469 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 4: this feels uncomfortable, and do you know what feels comfortable? 470 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 4: What I always know, And while that might not be comfortable, 471 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 4: I know what to expect. So I'm going to end 472 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 4: up broke again. It happens to the best of us. 473 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 4: So building capacity means that we are letting ourselves keep 474 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 4: the race, enjoy the trip. We are backing ourselves for 475 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 4: the next step without waiting for it to all fall apart. 476 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 4: Capacity beck it means saving even when it's really uncomfortable, 477 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 4: not just when it's really easy to save, not just 478 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 4: when you're like, oh, well, I could save this month 479 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 4: because I didn't go out, so therefore I have an 480 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 4: extra fifty dollars and I can save this month. 481 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 2: God, that's easy. 482 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 4: We are needing to put a framework in place so 483 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 4: that fifty as is consistent even when it's not super 484 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 4: comfortable because that's what's creating capacity for us. We're going 485 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 4: to ask for more. We expect people to respect us. 486 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 4: We're going to ask for a raise. We're going to 487 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 4: ask for a better deal. We're going to ask for 488 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 4: an opportunity. You're at jb Hi Fi and you're buying 489 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 4: a product, we are going to ask for a better deal. 490 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 2: It is uncomfortable. 491 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 4: Get comfortable with the uncomfortable, right, We're going to back 492 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 4: ourselves to take a risk that you used to think 493 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 4: was like only for other people. It's not for me, 494 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 4: it's only for other people. Why it's all for you, baby, 495 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 4: all for you. It's all for you, willing to just 496 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 4: have more, not self sabotaging. When things start to get good, 497 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 4: and I know you all do it, we all do yes, 498 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 4: very human nature. We want to revert back to being 499 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 4: where we were most comfortable and we are comfortable with 500 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 4: what we can expect. And if you start being uncomfortable, 501 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 4: we need to ask ourselves why is it just because 502 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 4: we haven't been here before? Potentially this is often when 503 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 4: people they start to hit like an emotional wall because 504 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 4: abundance it doesn't just feel good.
