Episode description

Everyone's been on my heart lately from the space of

… 2022 can be so different.

The pandemic certainly gave me an opportunity to work on the muscle of not living from a place of fear. But if you really start to look around, most of the world is committed to getting back out there and to running our businesses, despite the fear, the scarcity and the programming that is out there right now.

Today I just want to invite you into that same line of thinking. 2022 is where you need to live your best year and step back into the dreams, the goals, and the amazingness that you want to create.

No more shrinking back. The reality is if we all stop living our heart's desires and our dreams we're just going to leave this world. 

…and where does that leave you?

…where does that leave me?

Are you ready? Will you join me in stepping out of our heads and into our hearts?

If so, grab yourself a pen, some paper and get ready to take some notes during this week’s podcast.

And after you've left a review, go to personal inc.co forward slash

giveaway. And we have a special gift to thank you for leaving a review. So thank you for that. Okay, let's see. That's, that's what I want to just talk about in terms of how we can support you. I really want to support you today. You as my listeners, my clients, my community, my family, my friends. Like everyone's been on my heart lately from the space of 2022 can be so different. Like I was excited to leave 2021 behind us

it was our best year ever in business. I say that with GLEDE, because many of our clients, most of our clients, I don't even know like, we have to go back, I think almost all of our clients, if not all of them had their best year in business ever. And I get frustrated, because I feel like there's some CEOs who, who don't think that's possible for them, or have gotten so pulled into the fear and the scarcity. And just the chaos that's in the world today, or at least the chaos we see on

television, right or on the internet. And one of the things I want to remind you of is like, Is that Well, you know, you can turn on a major news network and feel like, like, literally sometimes like the world is ending or seeing internet, a headline on the internet. And it can just spark fear. I want to

remind you that that's what it's designed to do, right? That people want you to click on Articles, they want to grab your attention, we become so distracted, people are so busy that it's like the headlines and the media have to be they have to, you know, be louder than the other person, they have to be more in the fear mongering, they have to scare you to open something up. And I want you to start to pay attention to that. And also to look around, you just want things I've been

doing. I've been looking around. And I've been looking at my friends, family, other CEOs, and here's the thing. We don't all live in fear. And we don't have to. I always say this, it's one of the things that I used to live in a lot. And it's something I've worked on. And something in the pandemic certainly gave me an opportunity to work on the muscle of not

living from a place of fear. But if you really start to look around, there's people most of the world, you know, we're committed to getting back out there, we're committed to running our businesses, in spite of the fear, and the scarcity

and the programming that is out there right now. And I just want to invite you in that same line of thinking, and I'm not saying I'm not saying there's no, I'm not a pandemic, I'm not saying any of that, like, yes, there's a pandemic, yes, we need to protect ourselves, you need to do what you need to do to protect your family, you need to do what you need to do to

protect your children, you need to live your truth. And the flip side of that is while doing that, you need to live your life, you need to live your best year, you need to step back into the dreams, the goals, the amazingness that you want to create. Because if we all start to shrink back, if we all stop living our hearts desires and our dreams. We're just gonna leave this world. Where's that leave you? Personally, me. I'm committed to creating a world for our eight year old son.

That's worth being part of where people don't live in fear and scarcity, where people don't live in the belief that what they want to create isn't possible. I'm committed to living in a world where people understand how powerful they are. People like you and me understand that we can create whatever we want in our businesses and lives that we can have our best year ever in business that we don't have to

hide. We don't have to be afraid that we can step out and be our greatest version of ourselves and live in joy. So what I want to invite you to do in 2022 is to live your greatest dreams. I've committed to doing that this year. And I have some things on my list that I'll tell you are really scary in the sense of like, I'm not afraid of like fearful but like, I'm not sure how they're going to happen. And scary is not the right word. One of my coaches once said to me, the word scared

is the same. You know, if you move the letters around, it's also sacred. And that's how I feel like I feel like I'm in a very sacred time of, of stretching beyond rough stress before and really creating and stepping into dreams that I want that I do want to have happen that I know are meant for me.

And I want to invite you to do the same. And it's not enough like it's not enough to live the dreams that have been in your head that you think ah, you know, I should do that or wouldn't it be great if now, I want you to think about those dreams that are truly your heart's desire. Get out of your head, get into your heart like what's in your heart. Even in business, I find that as CEOs as entrepreneurs, we often create businesses that become jobs that we hate them Not our heart's

desire. It's like, oh, yeah, this is, this is okay. But I don't love it. One of the things that I did in 2020, you know, one of the gifts of the pandemic, of having to change everything pivot, remember, the word pivot, had to change everything to keep our business alive, gave me this gift to recreate it in a way that I'd always wanted to. And so I did.

And I love my business more than ever, because because of how it's set up, and how we're making a difference for our clients, and how it gives me the space to have this podcast and be on YouTube and write books and you know, Coach our clients to the next level, like all the things that I want to be doing. So for you, it's like, what's in your heart? What's your heart's desire? And that's where that's really where you want to begin, like, step out of your head

and move into your heart. And just thinking about that, now, if you could recreate your business in any way. What would you change? What would you let go of? We have many clients who come to us who are tired, they're worn out. They're working 80 plus hour weeks in a business they don't love anymore. It might be seven figures, it might be multiple, seven figures. Maybe they're in meetings all the time. Maybe they're on the road all the time. Maybe they're, you

know, just doing things they don't want to do. They come to us tired. And Rebecca, who's the master coach at Arsenal, Inc, many of you know her, Rebecca, and I love to just sit with them. And to ask the question, well, what is your heart's desire? Like, what do you really want? And a lot of times, when they first tell us it's like, it's like a whisper. It's like, well, so much. I wanted to have a seven figure business working

20 hours a week, not at all. I wanted to have more time with my kids, I wanted to have opportunities for my employees, that meant that it was the their dream job. I want to create, I want to make an impact, I want to have time to write I don't have any of that. And so by telling us, You know what they're tired of and what they don't have, we start to hear what it is they do want, we start to hear their true heart's desire. And then we start to build from there like that is a

requirement. When you hang out with us at Ursa hanging out with us in any of our programs. I want to know the truth, like I can't help you, I can't help our clients, if I don't know what they really desire. Because it's gonna be really hard for them to get it. If it's not your true heart's desire is like rolling boulders uphill, you're not going to want to do it, you're going to get frustrated, you're going to get stressed, you're

going to get mad, it's going to be terrible, right? So taking a moment to tune in to like, what it is you really want is the first step, I can guarantee you that if you create a list of your heart's desires, rather than the goals you think you should have, you will reach those goals way faster than any other goals you've ever reached before. You just Well, there was, there was a goal on my list last for a few years. And I kind

of kept putting it aside and putting inside. And then at the end of 2021, there was a part of you that just said, right, like, Why do I keep tabling that goal, this is what this is truly my heart's desire, which it was and it is that I need to move it over into that this is going to happen list like no matter what this is going to happen. And so this is what's wild. I moved it

over to the what's gonna it is just going to happen list. And I did a visualization with one of my coaches were really focused in on my heart's desire and creating from the space. And within two weeks, I don't know if it's that long, maybe was one week or two parts of that goal showed up to allow it to easily

come into reality. And it was in that moment that I was reminded, I was reminded of this message that we as entrepreneurs have to give ourselves permission to live from here to live from our heart's desire and to get out of our heads because in our heads, we make up all kinds of stories of why we can't have something why it's not for us, we stop. It feels too hard. Your heart's

desires don't feel too hard. Sometimes we try too hard to get them when what we're invited to do is lean in, or lean back, I should say, into the energy of receiving them versus the energy of pushing or figuring it out or make it happen. Wow, it's too much work. First, decide like decide what your heart's desire is. So I'm gonna invite you in this moment. We just did this with our clients and the cocreation collective and the CEO table this week, we invited them. And I want to invite you

to think of your top three goals right now. What are the top three goals for your business in 2022? Okay, so just think about them for a second. And I want to invite you to write them down, so you can look at them. And if you need to pause as we go, definitely do that. Go ahead and write those three goals, like the three goals, you could think of probably a revenue goal,

right? Big one that you've set for yourself. Maybe it's also a desire a goal to create a new program, raise your prices, maybe you want to have a podcast, you want to write a book, once and for all, whatever it is, just go ahead and take a moment and write those three goals down. And you might want to even pause this if you need a minute, okay? Because the next step is to take those goals from your head to your heart. So what

about you to close your eyes for a moment? Do this with you close your eyes, unless you're driving or you're on the elliptical, okay, we know not to do that. Oh eyes, close your eyes for a moment. And just breathe. Here your breath. Good. And I want you to take the goals that you're thinking of the goals you've written down and take them from your head and bring

them down to your heart. So imagine doing that your heart they say, scientists and others say is this thinking and feeling muscle we don't even know all we know is that our heart seems to know a lot of things. Our heart seems to be very honest with us, right? So move your goals from your head to your heart. Even if it feels weird, I've never done that before. Just go ahead and do it. Awesome. With your goals in your heart, I want you to notice each one need to ask yourself,

Is this my true heart's desire? Or what do I need to shift about it to make it? So say that again? For each goal just asked Is this my true heart's desire? Or what do I need to do to shift it to make it so? Just take a moment to think about each goal? And answer that question. Give you a minute. To think about that. You need to pause definitely pause the show for a moment and lean into that is my true heart's desire, what do I need to do to make itself feel into

that? For each goal. And then once you've done that, you can go ahead and open up your eyes and write that down. Like literally take a moment to look at each goal and and decide like is that? Is that my true heart's desire? Or what do I need to do to shift it to make it so if it hasn't been, or

if it's not, or like you have to tweak it. And it could be an example might be that there's new, maybe there's a new program, you want to create your business, but there's a part of it that you don't like or there's a part of it that you don't want to deliver. So to make it your heart's desire, you have to hire someone, or you want to write a book, but maybe you want to ghostwriter someone to help you like you don't want to do at all. That's fine, right? Like, what what do you

like? How would it become your true heart's desire and get you to the end? Once you've gotten to your true heart's desires, and you can write them down and look at it. The next step to bringing them into reality is to look at each one and ask yourself, what is the story that I'm telling myself about this particular goal or Heart's Desire regarding why I can't

have it? So you get into the idea of there's a story, there's a story if we don't have something like I'll give you so the goal I shifted in 2021 Ross by like, yes, I want this, I'm gonna make it happen. I have a big story about why it wasn't possible. And I can laugh about it now. And like, I look back, I had to confront that story. Now. In my case, I had my coach to help me. My coach was like, This is what coaches are great at, like, I go to like really

does hear the story? And she said to me, she's like, well, probably you haven't You know, decided for sure that this is what you want. Because when you step into it when you make it so the way is there. So what part of this? Are you saying no to? I really had to think about that. Because there were parts of it that I didn't think I wanted or didn't think were possible. So you want to confront your story about each goal. And ask yourself, What's that true about that? Or what's the lie in that

story? Why I'm telling myself, I can't have it. Because typically, there's a lie, there's a story, there's something there, that is important for you to confront and say, Hey, that's not true. And a way to do that is to say, you know, what's not true about that story? Is that true about that for me? To ask that question, and then watch what happens so powerful. And your subconscious will suddenly start to agree with you. It's like, yeah, that's, that's not true.

You know, and sometimes it's just fear. I'm afraid of what what are you afraid of? Right? Like, if I find fear coming up around a goal, I have to ask myself, alright, what am I really afraid of? What could really go wrong here? That would be so terrible that I wouldn't recover? Like you just go ridiculous. And you realize, okay, wait, like the fears just, it's just my, my ego, my subconscious, whatever you want to call it, try to keep me safe by giving me something to focus

on to be afraid of when assignment tro. Alright, so you want to go through each one, figure out what's not true about it. And then the last step is, I already kind of, you know, hinted on this, but like, You got to step into it, like it's already done. Like, it's just, it's done. It's my heart's desire. I'm not afraid, I've gotten rid of the stories around it, right, I've let that go. It's my heart's desire, there's no stories of the lies are gone. And now I'm stepping into the

expectation, the belief that it's just done, it's done. Now, that doesn't mean that there's not going to be any action that you take, because there will be. But when you take these steps, and you come from that space of your heart's desire, the next steps that show up will probably be things you didn't even think of. And it can happen even faster than you can imagine. Like the goal I was talking about 2021, the way to get there. Oh, my gosh, I can't even tell you how hard I was trying

to make it. It's like two steps. It was it blew my mind to the point where I knew I had to talk about it with my clients with all of you with our listeners. Because it was like the way it was there was just there. Two steps. I think in my head a great about 20 steps to get there. Oh my gosh. And I'd already started doing the work on making it hard. You should have seen the I was being so crafty and how I was creating it to be hard. That's why this process, this way of thinking is

so powerful. And it's what I want to invite you to step into for 2022. This might be this might be an episode, you want to come back and listen to over and over again, to get this like to get your goals coming into reality even faster. And also, if this resonates with you, please share this show with someone like there's somebody you know, in your circle, who could benefit from knowing that it's okay to have what they want.
