<v Speaker 1>Are you with me, girl friends, Let's rise and conquer. Hi, guys,

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>and welcome to another episode of the Rise and Conquer Podcast. Today,

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I have a mini solo episode for you and we

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 1>are chatting fear. We are rising and conquering fear. So

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>this has been coming up a lot lately, whether it's

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 1>for myself or in my DMS or I even remember

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.919
<v Speaker 1>I got a question about this at the live podcast

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:26.199
<v Speaker 1>events and so a big reason why we don't chase

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>out of dreams. We don't do you know, the thing

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>we want? We don't take the bold action is because

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 1>we're fearful. We're fearful of what others will think. We're

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>fearful that we won't make money, that it will air

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>quotes fail. So this can relate to a lot of things, like,

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, wanting to leave your job and pursue your

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>side hustle, or even starting a side hustle, or this

0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>might be a toxic relationship that you want to leave,

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>or just starting something new. And a big thing that

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:11.399
<v Speaker 1>I've been thinking about lately is realizing that we very

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:16.359
<v Speaker 1>much have a choice with most of our actions in life.

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not going to sit here and try and say,

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:25.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, I understand everyone has fear, and I understand

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>all the concepts around it, because I just don't. I know,

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 1>everyone has so many different circumstances, but at the end

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>of the day, we all do have a choice in

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>taking that next step leaving the job, you know, leaving

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>a relationship, starting something new. And I read a quote

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>the other day and it said you are not stuck

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>where you are unless you decide to be, And so

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I really resonated with this. And in regards to fear,

0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>we may feel fear, but we can choose if it

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>consumes us or if it doesn't. So something I constantly

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 1>have to remind myself is, like I said, like we

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 1>have a choice, and we get to decide who we

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>show up, who we want to be, and what we

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>want to do. So a lot of you would know

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>my story with leaving my corporate career and starting something new,

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 1>but I'm just going to go into a little bit.

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 1>So I did my law degree, I finished that. I

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.359
<v Speaker 1>then while I was doing my law degree, I got

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>this amazing job at a good mid tier firm in

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>the city. I worked there and I was starting out

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>as a law clerk, and then I end up getting

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>a graduate position and I did my pot through them.

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 1>It was amazing. They paid for it like a really

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 1>amazing opportunity, and basically at the end of it, you

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>get a job in the firm. And I was doing

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 1>family law and I would had to transfer into a

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>different sort of law, which was fine. But also while

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I was studying law and working corporate, I was doing

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>this side hustle of my Instagram and YouTube where I

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>was blogging and vlogging about what I loved doing. And

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 1>so a lot of that was health and fitness, and

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it was mindset too, and so I

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 1>was doing the side hustle thing and the corporate thing,

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and it kind of just got to the point where

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.919
<v Speaker 1>I knew I couldn't do both. And so I was

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 1>at this crossroads where I either stayed in corporate, took

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>the job, did the job, and let go with my

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>side hustle. And that was obviously it's a very safe option.

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>And in regards to you can imagine what you know,

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.160
<v Speaker 1>my parents or older people would have thought, is like,

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.720
<v Speaker 1>of course, you're staying in corporate, You're staying in the

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>safe job. You're staying in the law job. But I

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>did have sparkly eyes for this side hustle, and I

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't know where it would leave. Like what I was

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>doing in that moment wasn't what I wanted to do

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of my life. But I just had

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:14.839
<v Speaker 1>this really intuitive feeling that it's almost like niggling feeling

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>that I was supposed to do this, This was like

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 1>my right path. So I came to these crossroads, and

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I had such fear around this decision because I'm very

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.840
<v Speaker 1>logical absos he did a law degree, Like I love structure,

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:35.039
<v Speaker 1>I love black and white, so logically I knew the

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, air quotes right decision was the law job.

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 1>But then intuitively, I had this really strong feeling towards

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>this other thing, this side hustle, which was very murky

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't really know what was happening with it,

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.920
<v Speaker 1>but I just had this really strong feeling. And the

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 1>only reason for not doing the second option was because

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.479
<v Speaker 1>I had fear around what would others think of me?

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I had fear around like, you know, where can this

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.479
<v Speaker 1>even lead? What even happens here? I should take the

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 1>safe option, you know, the option where I'll know I'll

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.840
<v Speaker 1>be able to provide for my family that's you know,

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:23.719
<v Speaker 1>recognized by social standards as a real job, and just

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.920
<v Speaker 1>the fear of the unknown, like what's going to happen?

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 1>And so that was the biggest crossroads and the biggest

0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:37.360
<v Speaker 1>fear choice and decision in my life. And looking back,

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:42.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm just so glad the decision I made because of

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:47.040
<v Speaker 1>what has followed by following my intuition, really not letting

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:51.279
<v Speaker 1>that fear consume me and having faith that, you know,

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 1>things were going to work out. And if I really

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 1>followed my true authentic self and really what felt aligned,

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>then everything was going to be okay, and so I

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to go through some stuff kind of some

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.039
<v Speaker 1>like tools. You guys know, I love my tools and

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 1>my practices that I do when there is this big

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>decision and I am facing a lot of fear and

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 1>how I sort of work through it because I know

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>firsthand how difficult it can be. So the first thing

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to chat about and all these exercises I

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 1>will usually do in a journal. I'm really into like

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>writing things down and getting them out on paper, because

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:36.080
<v Speaker 1>often when thoughts are just swirling up in your head,

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:40.600
<v Speaker 1>they feel a lot bigger, and they feel just like

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of harder, and I find like putting things on

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 1>paper and then rereading them, they can become a lot

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 1>easier or clearer, or you read it and you're like, oh,

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>it's actually not that bad, or I shouldn't be so fearful.

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>So highly recommend getting out a notepad and pen and

0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe just write down these questions and then you can

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>journal later or whatever you want to do. So Number

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 1>one tool is I asked myself, like, how will I

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 1>feel if I don't make this step, if I don't

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 1>make this choice, how will I feel? This is a

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 1>lot to do with the feeling of regret, because even

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>though fear is a really big feeling that can keep

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>us stuck, for me, especially with my decision to leave

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 1>corporate life, was around the feeling of regret. And it's

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 1>funny I actually read it. I think I heard it

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 1>in a podcast about this study where they interviewed all

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:47.080
<v Speaker 1>these people who were on their deathbed quite literally, and

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 1>they asked them what is like one thing they wish

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.520
<v Speaker 1>they had done or what would they change in their life?

0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 1>And most of the people talked about things they wish

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>they would have done, So they didn't talk about, oh,

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.079
<v Speaker 1>it was so great I stayed in my corporate job

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>and did the safe option. They really talked about the

0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:11.440
<v Speaker 1>things that they wish they had done. And that's what

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean in regards to I think regret is this

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>really big feeling, and so you kind of need to

0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:21.079
<v Speaker 1>sit in the feeling of Okay, here are the options.

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.439
<v Speaker 1>How will I feel if I don't take option A?

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 1>And how will I feel if I don't take Option B?

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 1>And personally, for me, I knew, you know, I had

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.559
<v Speaker 1>finished my law degree. I knew I could always go back,

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, I might not have that job waiting for me.

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 1>But it was still an entry level job. And you know,

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I knew I had the wits about me that I

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 1>could find another Whereas if I didn't do this other thing,

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 1>the side hustle thing, which I didn't really know where

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>it would lead, That's the thing. I didn't know where

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.680
<v Speaker 1>it would leave. I didn't know what would happen, and

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:02.720
<v Speaker 1>I just knew that I would have so much regret

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 1>around that. So for me, the regret was a lot

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.800
<v Speaker 1>stronger than the fear, and that's the reason why I

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>chose the second option. This podcast is brought to you

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.960

<v Speaker 1>before my workout and generally love it. I could not

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 1>recommend it enough, but don't take it for me. Here's

0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>a testimonial from a real life customer. Candice says, I

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 1>stopped taking pre workout six months ago due to the

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.840
<v Speaker 1>effects it had on my nervous system and the side

0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 1>effects of the added nasties. I first tried the Naked

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Harvest supplement this morning, and so far I am loving it.

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.400
<v Speaker 1>It's been four hours and I have not experienced a

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.600

<v Speaker 1>codes and links in the show notes. Now let's get

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 1>straight back into the episode. So another tool or practice

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 1>you can do is think about the worst case scenario.

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 1>So with me, I had this second option, the side hustle.

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know what was going to happen, where it

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.920
<v Speaker 1>would lead, and that's how I guess a lot of

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>you would feel in regards to your next steps. And

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 1>so I put myself in the worst case scenario of

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:12.080
<v Speaker 1>what would happen if I did this side hushole thing,

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 1>if I took the leap, what would happen? And the

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 1>worst case scenario for me was I would go back

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>to law, I'd go back to a corporate job. And

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 1>then it kind of struck me that I was already

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 1>in my worst case scenario. So I was already in

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:36.240
<v Speaker 1>that corporate law job, which if I didn't take the

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 1>second option, I would be in. But basically, think of

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the worst case scenario if you don't take this next step,

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.880
<v Speaker 1>if you don't chase this dream, and if you're like

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 1>already in it, then what have you got to lose?

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 1>And that's what I realized. I thought, what if I

0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 1>got to lose? Like, and I know in some circumstances

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 1>you may have a lot to lose, but really thinking

0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 1>about what is the worst case scenario? And also I

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of got okay with the worst case scenario, so

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I was like, look, I can leave this really safe,

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 1>amazing job and I can do this side hustle and

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.840
<v Speaker 1>really just find out what's happened. If I fail, I

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 1>come back to this current position. And I was okay

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.080
<v Speaker 1>with that. So I think, once you get okay with

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:31.360
<v Speaker 1>a worst case scenario, you almost like the fear disappears,

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.679
<v Speaker 1>and that kind of happened. I'm going to tell you

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 1>a story when we started Naked Harvest, me and my

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:41.080
<v Speaker 1>brother Cooper, So we were talking about this worst case

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 1>scenario of starting Naked Harvest, and we did both have

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.120
<v Speaker 1>to put in a lot of money at the start

0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>because Naked Harvest is completely funded and built by ourselves.

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 1>We didn't get any loans or any people supporting us.

0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 1>And so me and Cooper spoke about this and he

0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.880
<v Speaker 1>was like, worst case scenario is I have to sell

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 1>my house and he was like, I'm okay with that,

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's so true, Like he was like, look,

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 1>if I have to do that, you know to do

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 1>this company because he believed in it so much. He's like,

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy to do that, and I love that. I'm

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 1>just thinking back and having a laugh. Sorry, getting back

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 1>to it. So really like, sit in what is the

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 1>worst case scenario? And then another thing to do And

0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.120
<v Speaker 1>this is a really cool thing to do. And I

0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 1>love sitting in feelings. So sit in the feeling of

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 1>what happens if you take this next step, if you

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 1>chase the dream, and if you succeed, sit in that

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:49.720
<v Speaker 1>feeling right now, and then ask yourself if it is

0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 1>worth foregoing that feeling. You know, if you're going to

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 1>have regret if you don't get to that feeling. And

0:14:56.360 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 1>it's not necessarily about being successful, but it's about having

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 1>the knowledge that you tried. So for me, it was

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:12.720
<v Speaker 1>really important that I didn't care too much about being unsuccessful,

0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>but I did really care about if I didn't even

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:20.560
<v Speaker 1>try in the first place. So they are two really

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 1>easy tools you can use. And then another thing I

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.720
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to touch on is you know, if you are

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 1>currently chasing this dream or there is this big next step,

0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:36.960
<v Speaker 1>be prepared, don't overdo it. So personally, before I went

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:40.479
<v Speaker 1>off by myself, did my side hustle, started this podcast,

0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 1>started Naked Harvest. I definitely tried to prepare myself in

0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 1>ways like I actually got a business coach. I've taken

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>courses in the past, like I took like an online

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.160
<v Speaker 1>course of how to start a podcast to start my podcast.

0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I have had mentors, I've read so much books. You

0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.360
<v Speaker 1>guys know I love my books. I actually was wondering

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.760
<v Speaker 1>if you guys want me to do a segment on

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 1>here where I literally just go through you know, like

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:13.080
<v Speaker 1>my five favorite books, my five favorite podcasts, my five

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 1>favorite like resources that have got me to where I

0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:19.320
<v Speaker 1>am today that I have found really impactful. If you

0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.720
<v Speaker 1>guys want that, definitely let me know. And so I've

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 1>listened obviously to a lot of podcasts, and so it's

0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 1>great to be prepared. But something that I do often

0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>find is people, and I've done this myself, guys, is

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 1>people will constantly like consume this knowledge of what to do,

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.720
<v Speaker 1>but to the point where they won't actually take the

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:47.160
<v Speaker 1>first step. So they'll just constantly think, oh, I just

0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 1>need a bit more knowledge about podcasts before I start

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.680
<v Speaker 1>a podcast, and they'll go listen to, you know, eight

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.000
<v Speaker 1>more podcasts on how to start a podcast or buy

0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the next course. So it's important to be prepared in

0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 1>this next step, but I think you need to realize

0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.840
<v Speaker 1>that honestly, like no one really knows what they're doing,

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:10.919
<v Speaker 1>and it's more important to actually take the small action.

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.880
<v Speaker 1>And something that I've realized in regards to consuming resources,

0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 1>podcast books, when you start to hear the same things

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.320
<v Speaker 1>over and over again, this is a sign that you

0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:26.240
<v Speaker 1>need to stop consuming. You need to stop listening to

0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.639
<v Speaker 1>the podcast. Stop you know, reading the books, and you

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 1>need to take action because you're never going to feel ready.

0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.399
<v Speaker 1>Even now, when I look back at all the big

0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:42.680
<v Speaker 1>things that I've done or accomplished when I started them,

0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I did not feel ready for one thing, Like, not

0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.080
<v Speaker 1>one thing. When I started this podcast, I literally was like,

0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.959
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, this is so amata, Like I just

0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.800
<v Speaker 1>like I was not ready at all. And even with

0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Naked Harvest, I thought what am I doing? Or like

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 1>leaving my corporate job like it, it never feels like,

0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:05.200
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, I'm ready to leave. Now I'm going

0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.119
<v Speaker 1>to leave. Everything's going to work out. It doesn't feel

0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:12.320
<v Speaker 1>like that. It feels fearful. But I've really learned to

0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:16.920
<v Speaker 1>lean into the discomfort, like lean into the fear, because

0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the reality is, you know, when you think of your

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:25.439
<v Speaker 1>mentors or the people that you love and adore or

0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:28.640
<v Speaker 1>look up to who have done things that you want

0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.840
<v Speaker 1>to do or you know, like accomplish things that you

0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:36.160
<v Speaker 1>want to do, I guarantee you they did not feel

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>ready before they took that first small step towards that goal.

0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Like it's really funny because it's like you want clarity,

0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:46.520
<v Speaker 1>you want to feel like, Okay, it's ready and then

0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll take the step. But clarity doesn't really come until

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:54.639
<v Speaker 1>you take the step. And also you'll find that the

0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:58.680
<v Speaker 1>first step will be very messy and you will tweak

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:02.320
<v Speaker 1>things and perfect things along the way. And so that's

0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:06.080
<v Speaker 1>why I always tell you guys, like, take messy, bold action,

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:10.960
<v Speaker 1>because that's how you get somewhere. That's how you do something.

0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.399
<v Speaker 1>And also a big thing you need to realize is

0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:18.119
<v Speaker 1>no one is going to do this for you. No

0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:21.280
<v Speaker 1>one is going to be brave for you. When you

0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:25.159
<v Speaker 1>are facing fear around taking this next step or chasing

0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:30.280
<v Speaker 1>your dreams. You are the only person that has the

0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:35.080
<v Speaker 1>ability to take the next step to be brave. And

0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:38.160
<v Speaker 1>trust me when I say no one knows what they

0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.359
<v Speaker 1>are doing, like no one has all the answers, but

0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:45.280
<v Speaker 1>they throw themselves into it and they just yeah, they

0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.959
<v Speaker 1>get into it. And I think that's really what sets

0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:53.880
<v Speaker 1>people apart, and really sets the people doing pretty epic

0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:59.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff is they will take bold, messy action and they'll

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:03.919
<v Speaker 1>feel uncomfortable, they'll be consistent, and they'll just kind of

0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.320
<v Speaker 1>figure it out. And I think you need to realize

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.760
<v Speaker 1>that your journey is exactly that it is your journey,

0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:13.680
<v Speaker 1>so how you get to your next step, how you

0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 1>see yourself in the future, Like, it's all up to

0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:19.600
<v Speaker 1>you and it is going to be so different to

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:23.639
<v Speaker 1>everyone else. So don't get too called up in you know,

0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:27.439
<v Speaker 1>your first step looking like mine or looking like someone else.

0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:32.919
<v Speaker 1>Really lean into listening to your intuition, listening to yourself

0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:36.880
<v Speaker 1>and going from there. At the live podcast event, we

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:41.840
<v Speaker 1>interviewed this amazing woman called Angela Carmen and she is

0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:45.280
<v Speaker 1>a consciousness coach. She has a real key healing too,

0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.199
<v Speaker 1>and we asked her, you know, how does someone know

0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 1>how to listen to their intuition? And she said, your

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:57.760
<v Speaker 1>intuition comes from your heart and your gut. So she said,

0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:02.800
<v Speaker 1>ask yourself the question and hold your heart and see

0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:05.080
<v Speaker 1>what the answer is from and really try and get

0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the answer from your heart, and then hold your gut

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 1>and ask the question again and really feel it in

0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:17.879
<v Speaker 1>your gut and heart, and you will either like she

0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:21.200
<v Speaker 1>was explaining that your body will really like feel into

0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:25.000
<v Speaker 1>it or reject it and listen to that instead of

0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:28.320
<v Speaker 1>listening to like the logical thoughts. And that's something I

0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:32.720
<v Speaker 1>constantly have to work on because I'm such a logical person.

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:35.080
<v Speaker 1>And I'm really trying to get into my other side

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 1>of the brain. But yeah, and also relayze guys that

0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:43.560
<v Speaker 1>everything really takes time, and I know it kind of

0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:47.399
<v Speaker 1>it looks like there's these overnight success but you know,

0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:51.520
<v Speaker 1>like just to let you guys know. For example, I

0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:55.919
<v Speaker 1>obviously do sponsorships on Instagram, but I was blogging and

0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:59.800
<v Speaker 1>posting on Instagram and my blog for five years before

0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I even started to get paid. Same with YouTube, and

0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:05.920
<v Speaker 1>it was like a very small amount. So I don't

0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:08.320
<v Speaker 1>want to scare you or anything, but I'm just saying

0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:13.120
<v Speaker 1>things really do take time. But in the end, if

0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 1>you are being intuitive and you are taking bold, aligned action,

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:22.160
<v Speaker 1>that's when the goodness happens. But that is it. I

0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:25.000
<v Speaker 1>just really felt cooled to speak about this because I

0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 1>know it is such a huge thing and fear can

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 1>really consume you, and it really upsets me because I

0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:35.919
<v Speaker 1>know that you guys have so much potential to really

0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:39.880
<v Speaker 1>chase after your dreams and like do the epic things

0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:43.679
<v Speaker 1>and really chase your goals. So I hope this helped

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:49.440
<v Speaker 1>and I will see you in my next podcast. Thanks
