Thank you. 37 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 2: We're so excited to chat to you today about two things. 38 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: Number one is a question we actually get asked a 39 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: lot in our community that I thought you'd be the 40 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 2: perfect person to get advice from, and that is how 41 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 2: can you get your partner into self development? 42 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 3: So, first of all, I would like to say that 43 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 3: you can never force people to do things. So the 44 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 3: question is how to get my partner into self development? 45 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 3: But there can't be anything around it of force like 46 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 3: you because I feel it can happen, might not happen. 47 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 3: Of where you try and force this to your partner 48 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 3: and like you can do it and it can work 49 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 3: and it can be good, but it also can be bad. 50 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 3: Where when you tell someone to do something, they use them, 51 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 3: don't do it, they do the opposite. A good thing 52 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 3: is to encourage them, influence them, and like it starts 53 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 3: from you, doesn't start from putting your stuff on them 54 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 3: and telling them self, development is the best thing and 55 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 3: you've got to do it. Yeah, you've got to first 56 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 3: of all, do it in yourself. So start with yourself. 57 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 3: And if you're on the journey and you're feeling that 58 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 3: it could benefit them a lot, bring them into your world, 59 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 3: like show them what you've been doing, influence them, encourage them, 60 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 3: and yeah, if you do this in a nice way, 61 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 3: they might think that's pretty cool. Or if you do something, 62 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: can you get a promotion at work or something else 63 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 3: happens and you but yeah, so it just it starts 64 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 3: from you. So if you're pushing something on someone and 65 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 3: it can kind of sometimes tell that you're not fully 66 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 3: confident in yourself in that area, like when you're trying 67 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 3: to convince someone to do something, you've got to do it. 68 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 2: It's usually when you don't want to do it on 69 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: your own. 70 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 3: In yourself and you need someone to be there with you. 71 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 3: So everything starts from you. Like you can never blame 72 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 3: people for stuff, it's always you. So this is the 73 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 3: same instance. So yeah, start with yourself, get fully confident 74 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 3: in doing what you're doing and the journey you're on. 75 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 2: I'd love to know because we have had a few 76 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: people in the Facebook group mentioned that their partners have 77 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: expressed interest in starting self development, but they're just not 78 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 2: quite sure where to maybe refer them to or what 79 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: they can start on. What would sort of be your 80 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: commendations on where someone could start. 81 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 3: For me personally, it was and I have said this 82 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 3: story before, but it started by listening to books on 83 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 3: audible and podcasts, So that would be my first thing 84 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 3: to say to same one. Yeah, and like I chose money, 85 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 3: I wanted more understanding and I wanted to conquer that. Yeah, 86 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 3: and so that's where I started and it, yeah, just 87 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 3: changed everything for me. So I would say that like 88 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 3: starts gaining knowledge is power, and yeah, go from there. 89 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: And how did you get into manifestation. 90 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 3: I've kind of just done it naturally, like I've not 91 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 3: really tried. 92 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like that happens with a lot of boys, 93 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: and it's. 94 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 3: Really I'm more like I've got a drive and I've 95 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 3: got a passion. Yeah, and the manifesting like it it 96 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: hands down works and it's it's so powerful. But I 97 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 3: don't use those words for myself, yeah, because they just 98 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 3: didn't really because like George's the manifesting guru, yeah, and 99 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 3: yet the one and yeah, I just never really I 100 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 3: never really did it, but I was doing it because. 101 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 2: Like you embodied it, but you didn't consciously practice anything, right, 102 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: And when did you realize that you were manifesting? When 103 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: did you? Like what was the moment where You're like, oh, 104 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: I've actually been doing this the whole time. 105 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 3: I don't know, probably a couple of years down the 106 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 3: track with naked harvests, Like I was always always doing 107 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 3: goals and we're always like we set a year goal 108 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 3: and we look back on at me and George and 109 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 3: we would always get it every time. This ship and 110 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 3: then it then yeah, like it's it's your power of 111 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 3: what you put on that bit of paper and we 112 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 3: could have gone bigger numbers than we could have got there. 113 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 3: So it's just your limiting belief of where you need 114 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 3: to get to and where you're humbled to get to. 115 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 3: And I don't know if you think about that, like 116 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 3: put a big number on or put a big goal 117 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 3: or something. So, yeah, it's the powers in you. So 118 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 3: it was you. Everything's you start with you. It's always 119 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 3: you with everything. But with that question, I was just thinking, 120 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 3: like in a partnership, usually opposites of track, so it 121 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 3: could work. Why not, but try and try and figure 122 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 3: out where they are in their head and put yourself 123 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 3: in their shoes and the pressures they've got. And if 124 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 3: it's yeah, towards the ale, like with self development, he 125 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 3: might not have the space to do it because he's 126 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 3: got so much stuff going on in his head with 127 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 3: pressures and I don't know, trying to provide and that 128 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 3: sort of thing. So put yourself in his shoes or 129 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 3: her shoes and pitch yourself there. Yeah, and then think 130 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 3: how can I influence you, encourage you in that way 131 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 3: so they get down on their level because yeah, they 132 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 3: might not want to even believe this stuff or that 133 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 3: sort of thing, and so you try and work out 134 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: how to. 135 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: And would you almost say that it could even work 136 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 2: better if instead of going I'm going to get you 137 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 2: into self development kind of thing of like I've been 138 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 2: really I've been reading this really good book.

I do this with my wife as well, 176 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 3: and I give her the information so she can use 177 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 3: it on me. And just don't do that too much. 178 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 3: Though I've heard that, oh you kind of use it 179 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 3: too much, then it won't work. But you use it 180 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 3: here when it needs to be done. Otherwise, if you 181 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 3: do it too much, you just like shut the hell up, 182 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 3: because sometimes you need to let it out yeah, And 183 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 3: it's yeah to lower the ego because when you're arguing. 184 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 2: You want to be right absolutely. 185 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 3: Yes. So when someone comes in and says, I don't know, 186 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 3: you go into a party. I think he kind of 187 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 3: says that, why did you put the food out on 188 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 3: the table like that? It's such a weird way, like 189 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 3: you should have done it this way, yeah, or something 190 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 3: in those lines of like you should have done it 191 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 3: like that like this, yeah, and you say four words 192 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 3: and those four words are you're right about that? I 193 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 3: have to make it. 194 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: I know. It's full. 195 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 3: Pressure, so funny. Yeah. So when they say those things, 196 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 3: like you picture it in your head and they're trying 197 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 3: to be right, and you're like, you should have done 198 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 3: it like that, and you just say, yeah, you're right 199 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 3: about that. 200 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 2: What are they going to do? But can't do anything? 201 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 3: You can't do anything, And then their ego just goes down, 202 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 3: like I'll be my mind's down, just lowers down. And 203 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 3: then they might try and bring it up again because 204 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 3: they might say, oh, well, next time, do it this way. 205 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 3: You're going to do it that way, and then you say, no. 206 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 2: Probably not. 207 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 3: I'm going to do it my way because that's what 208 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 3: I want now, and they might say no, but this 209 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 3: is a better way. Then you say, yeah, you're right 210 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 3: about that. It's like, so it's a really cool tool 211 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 3: I've been using and you can use it anywhere in 212 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 3: any conversation when it gets heated, like let them be right? 213 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 2: And how do you almost stop that from I guess 214 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 2: being a rollercoaster because in my head when you told 215 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 2: that story, it's like they ask you and you say, yeah, 216 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 2: you're right, and then they have to kind of back off. 217 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 2: And then if they follow up and say, you know, 218 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 2: do that like the next time, you're not gonna lie, 219 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 2: so you say no, I'm probably gonna do it my 220 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 2: way again, and then it like almost fires back up 221 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 2: again and they need to be right. So is it 222 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 2: just sort of like you just keep saying that until 223 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 2: they just don't ask again. 224 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 3: If you want to, but test it out like it yeah, 225 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 3: probably won't go or because they'll figure out I'm not 226 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 3: getting anywhere with this person because yeah, they're so content 227 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 3: and not getting fired up.
