(00:48):
Today I'm going to shareabout working from a place of
alignment instead of hustling.
And for those of you who arelistening to this on audio, I'm
holding a jacket up that says hustle.
Uh, it would align, uh, crossing the wordhustle and align is right underneath it.
I definitely know a thing or two.
Or a hundred about hustling, but I amalso learning a lot about alignment.
(01:16):
And today is day three, um, from theBBD live business by design conference.
And, um, I really experienced todaywhat it means to be alignment.
Not that I haven't experienced itbefore, but even more so today.
Um, and he will understandwhy as I share this story.
In the last, I would say, gosh,eight years or so, I have spent
(01:41):
close to 150, 000 in coaching.
Um, and this is coaching literallyfrom anything from really real
estate to music to, um, My businessand for the most part, that's it.
Like the real estate music businesslicensing, learning how to be, you know,
(02:06):
certification program, all these things.
And yeah, close to 150,000 in coaching alone.
And I'm not even talking.
I'm not even counting theamount of money that I've spent
on training my body, right?
So that's also coaching, but in adifferent way, I guess, but training
my body for movement, right?
(02:27):
Like when I went into overdrive andtrained for stunts and I trained anything
from gun training to wire work to.
All sorts of different martialarts and the amount of money
that I spent that year, literallyjust on training stunts alone.
And then, of course, the years oftraining that I've put into aerial.
(02:47):
So that 150, 000 is literallyjust strictly on in the last
eight years of my growth in realestate and music and in business.
And Is it worth it?
Sometimes I don't know.
Um, sometimes I question myself too,but you know, like I spent 10, 000 on
(03:08):
a one year mastermind for real estateand I am very much an action taker.
I don't just when I.
Pay for something for a program.
I do not take it lightly and I do the workbecause I am a doer gosh I've been a doer
my entire life And i'm learning how tojust be but you know, I spent ten thousand
(03:29):
dollars on a real estate mastermindand I I did out of that mastermind.
I learned how to invest in real estateand we we did purchase you know, um
three Additional rental propertiesbecause of the stuff that I learned.
I purchased another realestate program training.
I think it was 7, 500 on note investingand out of that note investing.
(03:53):
I did purchase a note and we actuallyin fact sold that note this year.
And, uh, did get profit out of that.
I did go into a privateinvesting, not private investing.
It's, it was private funding.
You learn how to be aprivate funder for investors.
(04:14):
Um, that was, I believe also a 7, 000.
That one, I did not doanything about because, well,
we kind of ran out of funds.
We realized we can't be aprivate funder, a private lender.
It was a private, howto be a private lender.
We can't be a private lenderif we don't have funds.
(04:36):
So, um, but actually, I still know.
How to go into privatelending if I want to.
So later on, you know, hopefullyas you know, my business grows,
then we'll have funds and I canactually be a private lender.
So that's down the line, butI did learn that, but gosh,
there's just so many things.
(04:56):
The amount of coaching that I have.
Paid for has been crazy andthere's such a thing as hungry.
This is what I learned this and not that Idon't know this, but just kind of hearing
it from another person, you know, kind ofteaching it and also from a person that.
(05:19):
Her name is Natalie Ellis from Boss Babe.
Uh, she has built a freakingmultimillion dollar business.
And she has an incredible story,incredible, incredible story that I
encourage you to look up if you don't knowher already, but there is such a thing
as she was teaching about hungry versusempty, operating from a place of hunger
(05:40):
versus operating from a place of empty.
There's nothing wrong with being hungry.
There's nothing wrong with being hungry.
Having the drive, the hunger formore, the hunger to, to learn more,
to be more, to be better, right?
There's nothing necessarily wrong withthat, but there's something wrong with
that if you are combining that withoperating from a place of emptiness.
(06:05):
So, I think what I've realized asI look back in my experiences is
that I'm that person who's hungryto learn for more, who's hungry to,
to do more, who's hungry to grow.
And so I do feel that I've operated fromthat place, and I don't think it really
is from a place of emptiness for the mostpart for a while until actually in the
(06:26):
recent years that I realized that, um,the reason why I went into overdrive and.
Signing up for even more coaching and evenmore masterminds is because I'm starting
to kind of suddenly get scared becauseI'm signing up for all these things.
And yes, I am doing the work, but then Iam not seeing the return in my investment.
(06:52):
And part of the reason why I'm notseeing the return of my investment
financially is because when you'resigning up for so many coaches and
so many masterminds, then you have somany voices speaking into you so many
suggestions and coaching coming into you.
And now you're like,well, I will do them all.
Because that's me.
I'm the person who will like,you're, you're saying I'm doing this.
(07:15):
Yes, coach.
I'll do that.
And then this other coach tells meyou're saying that you should do this.
Yes, coach.
I got, I got it.
I'll do it.
I'm, I'm the yes coach person.
So all of a sudden.
I'm seeing that I'm gettingscared because I am, I'm signing
up for all these things and thenspending so much money on coaching.
(07:36):
Meanwhile, you know, my business, if I'mnot signing up for all of these crazy
coaching, my business is making money.
The problem is my business is not makingany money because everything that flows
into the business is literally justput back into all these coaching that
I'm paying for and mind you, they'renot, they're not cheap coaching.
Okay.
(07:57):
So, finally, I met thisguy named James Wedmore.
I met him.
Well, this weekend today,personally, but I met him online.
He didn't meet me.
I met him.
I saw him online and Isigned up for his course.
There we go again.
I signed up for hiscourse earlier this year.
June of of 2004, and it was a2997, uh, self study course.
(08:22):
There's some coaching.
Um, you know, there's some coachingwith with his trained coaches, but
it's not like one on one coaching.
It's really up to you to watch everythingand put everything into implementation.
But somehow.
And I always, I always kind of feel this.
It's like, there's going tobe something good from this.
I promise this is it.
(08:42):
This is it.
I think this is it.
And this time, this is it.
This time, this is it.
If there's only one coaching Icould choose, it would be this.
Because I have gone through so muchcoaching, and I'm a very coachable person.
(09:03):
I follow, and as I alreadysaid, I'm a yes coach person.
You tell me what to do, I will implementthe heck out of what you tell me to do.
The difference with James course isthat he really gives you a step by
step blueprint of what you need to do.
(09:24):
To actually earn moneyin your business, right?
Um, but, but it's not just the earning.
It's actually really being clear on whoyou serve, what you do, and how that fits
into the overall lifestyle of what youwant to do as a business owner, because
(09:46):
business is an addition to your life.
It does not take over your life.
And I'll talk about thata little bit more later.
But the thing about James is that,um, He makes it so simple, business is
simple, you have an offer, you make anoffer, and you make it to as many, you
(10:08):
make that offer to as many people aspossible, that's it, so you have an offer,
that's your product or your service.
You make an offer, because if youdon't make an offer, how are people
going to know to buy from you ifyou don't actually make that offer?
And number three, you getthat offer in front of as many
people as possible, right?
As many people that are in alignmentwith who you're offering it to, right?
(10:32):
So obviously, um, I'm not going to makean offer to dentists if my product or
my service is not for dentists, right?
So I have to get in front ofthe, the people that I'm serving
and make that offer to them.
Get in front of them,make that offer to them.
And then, and then obviously, uh,offer them the service or the product.
(10:52):
And it's just that simple.
The more you offer, and the more youget in front of more people, the more
money you'll make in your business.
And, you know, as I said,it's not about money, right?
But today.
I witnessed right a roomfull of people today.
(11:14):
We close out the event today.
A lot of them are alreadysuccessful entrepreneurs.
A lot of them are someof them are starting.
It was a mix of people in the room, right?
But there were a lot of entrepreneursthere who are like they had a
panel of seven figure entrepreneursand they're just regular people.
Like me, like you, regular people whogot a hold of their vision, they want to
(11:37):
serve people, uh, they put their businessonline so that they can serve more, right?
If your business is online, youobviously are able to reach more people
because you don't have that locationbrick and mortar, um, limitation.
And today I witnessed, um, Thewhole, the whole room today
raised about 250, 000, 251, 000.
(12:00):
Uh, we all gave money into the charitythis week called Charity Water.
And, um, James said that it was thebiggest, uh, money that has been
raised so far at this live eventthat we, that he holds once a year.
Um, it's a three dayevent once, once a year.
And, um, Because it's a room full ofentrepreneurs, entrepreneurs are usually
(12:22):
very, very giving people the reasonwhy we do business and the reason why
we want to make the money that we wantto make is because we want to be able
to have that capacity to serve andbless other people with our finances.
Um, gosh, like I, I havecharities I want to support.
I have causes I want to support.
(12:42):
I have, I want my own, you know,later on, like a freaking cat cafe.
It has a dog park that has a, uh,Amphitheater for performances that
we can host for children that wehave given scholarships to for
music and movement, and then theycome over here and they learn about
music and movement and life skills.
And we have this whole production that Ican just produce all on, all on my own,
(13:05):
like as far as financial goes, right.
Because I have those funds.
That's what I would love to do.
I would love to have a tree adventure parkbecause of my love for adventure, or you
can hold like team building activitiesand it's your own adventure park.
Gosh, there's just somuch that I want to do.
There's so much that money can do for you.
(13:27):
And if you have an amazingheart for people, gosh, that
money can go a long way.
Cause money is not the root of evil.
It's our, it's our greed.
It's our, it's our gosh,unstationable desire for money.
That's the root of evil, right?
But the money itself, it's, it's not evil.
It's just a tool.
So.
(13:48):
I witnessed that today and James, youknow, he is a 20 million entrepreneur.
His, his, I don't even know reallyactually how much he's, you know,
his revenue is gross revenue ayear, but he has this story where he
went from 2 million to 10 million.
And in one year, um, that is also anincredible story in and of itself.
(14:10):
He, his, his sleep was just aquantum leap in his business.
And it actually came from a very,very difficult time in his life.
The, there was a very difficult time.
Someone was suing him and he hadthis crazy fear that he was going
to lose everything and instead of.
Surrendering into that fear he steppedout faced that fear and his business
(14:32):
actually at the time that he got suedHe was able to grow his business from
two million to ten million dollars inone year And that was years ago And I
know that he is way past ten milliondollars now a year and I share all of
this because going back into verse hungerversus empty so I've been panicking
(14:52):
because basically I've been paying forall of these coaching things and nothing
is coming back because I am buildingway too many bridges when you have too
many voices in your head, you have toomany coaches telling you what to do.
You tend, especially if you're a yescoach kind of person, you will follow
all of these directions and now you'rebuilding this bridge, and now you're
(15:14):
building this bridge, and then thisbridge, and then this bridge, and then
this bridge, and then this bridge, andyou're wanting to go from here to here,
and then, uh, And all of those bridgesare never built all the way through.
So then my attention is, youknow, trying to catch like five
different rabbits all at once.
And I end up not catching any rabbit.
(15:34):
And finally, with James, I just reallyunderstand now, and I've learned
this too from other people, right?
I've learned the concept oflike, focus on one thing.
I've learned the concept of, um, um.
But, you know, being clear on who youserve, being clear on what you want to do.
I've, I've, I know all these thingsalready, but I think the difference with
(15:55):
James is he really has a step by step bystep by step, freaking the process, man.
The process is just ridiculous.
It is so clear that if you follow it.
It's not that it will happenlike that, right, but it's that
your success is truly inevitable.
It's going to happen if you follow it.
(16:17):
And so I sat there today and todaywas the last day of, um, Enrolling
in the BBD next level that'sbusiness by design next level.
So what I enrolled in this June washis, uh, self study course, right?
With like a little bit ofgroup coaching on the side.
And then the next level.
Above that is called next level and it'shis mastermind for the people who now want
(16:41):
to go further Instead of the once a yearevent that I get to go to right like which
is this event that I've been in this thepast Few days you get like four different
events and then More coaching from himand really more touch point with him
because he's been doing this for 17 yearsnow, the, in the online business space,
and he's just incredibly successful.
(17:03):
So he's, and he's coached thousandsof people and thousands of people have
literally followed his system and theyhave scaled this business to the moon.
And so here I am.
The enrollment for next levelwas due today by lunchtime.
And yesterday I kept asking,like, I literally kept asking God,
(17:25):
like, do I enroll in this thing?
Because I know, I know that I knowthat I know that if I enroll in this
thing, um, and especially because nowI'm actually focused in a sense, not
that I wasn't focused in the growingmy business before I was focused in
growing my business before, but I was.
Just focusing on way too many differentdirections because I had way too
many voices in my head, way too manycoaches in my ecosystem of coaches.
(17:48):
Right.
And so.
Now that I know that I know thatthis is the coach that's going to
take me further and I will no longerEnroll in any other coaches, right?
This is it.
I know that if I go to next levelmastermind, which by the way is
about eleven thousand dollars a year
(18:10):
So this is love and that it would bean eleven thousand dollar payment, I
know that I would succeed No doubt.
I just know it.
I have no doubt in my ability tofollow everything that he says, and
because I've seen it work for others,then I know it will work for me too.
Okay, because I have a vision of samething, same as all these other people
(18:31):
that I saw there today who's standingin the panel and they are called seven
figure entrepreneurs because they havescaled their businesses to seven figures.
And so I am that person who I want to sit.
On their seats, you know, a year fromnow, two years from now, however long
it takes me, um, to be that sevenfigure entrepreneur with the service
that I do, and because I love whatI do, and I believe in it so much.
(18:56):
And so here I am.
Really contemplating, do I spendanother 11, 000 in this next
level mastermind coaching becausehe only offers it once a year.
The enrollment is only open once a year.
And yes, last night I've been praying.
I said, God, like, what do I do?
What do I do?
What do I do?
And then.
This morning I texted Lee,I said, babe, yes or no?
(19:19):
And of course he has no context, right?
He said, yes.
I said, okay.
And I said, do you believe in me?
And he said, yes, ofcourse he believes in me.
Lee is super supportive, incrediblysupportive in everything that I do and
encouraging and all good things, right?
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
I guess I'm enrolling.
Of course he doesn't have the contextof what I'm saying and what I'm asking.
(19:41):
I'm just asking for, you know, a sign.
I'm just desperately asking for a sign.
I said, God, please just, just,okay, I'm going to quiet myself.
So I was, I was listening to thespeaker and I just, I just kept
quieting myself and I kept quietingmyself and I realized the answer.
If I.
(20:02):
do this, I will still be operatingfrom a place of emptiness.
And the reason for that is becauseall the other coaching programs I've
done up to the point in just thelast recent years, I'm not saying
from the very beginning I've, I'veoperated from a place of hungry.
I want to grow.
I want to grow.
And not that.
I'm not in a place of hungry right now.
(20:23):
I'm still in a place of hungry.
I want to grow.
I want to learn more.
But there's a lot of emptiness in myoperation, like in the way I operate
now, because of the fact that I amdesperately wanting to make my money
back on all these coaching programs thatI have been spending so much money on.
(20:44):
And because my business is not actuallymaking the money that I wanted to make.
And so I sat there and I said, If I Dothis, that means that it will require
me to step up even more because this isan 11, 000 product, which means that I
will work myself to the bone to literallydo everything that they're asking me
(21:07):
to do so that I can grow my business.
Right.
And I know that's actually not whatthey're going to tell me to do,
because with the way James work.
The reason why the people that he coachare coaches are so successful is because
his whole thing is actually doing less.
If you do less, you will actuallybe a lot more successful.
(21:29):
And if you just do the most importantthings, get, get, get away with from,
from all the fluff, you know, trim offthe fat, like whatever they want to call
it, like you'll actually earn a lot more,you'll actually be a lot more successful.
But I sat there and I knew that thenext level is going to be great for
me, but I just knew that it wasn'tthe right time because I actually
(21:50):
really need to heal the, the operatingfrom emptiness that's inside of me.
And then I evaluated my, my life for,for the last like two, three years or so.
I said earlier, business isan addition to your life.
It's not supposed to take over your life.
(22:10):
And what I've realized is that.
I have made my business, my God,
I have made my business.
The thing that I think about everywaking moment, every second of my life.
I have made it the thingthat goes before my husband.
(22:34):
I have made it the thing thatgoes before my prayer time.
I have made it the thingthat goes before me.
taking care of my body and actuallynurturing my body more and being
consistent with my practice and movement.
I've made it the thing that goes beforeme playing the piano, which every time I
play the piano, it gives me so much joy.
(22:56):
I have made it the thing that haskept me at home and working 16 hour
days, uh, and not even leaving thehouse for three, four days straight.
That's the reality of it.
And.
Lee would sometimes tell me, Babe, haveyou, have you gotten outside today?
You need to go outside.
(23:17):
And I would just be like, I would open thedoor and I would stick my head outside and
I'd be like, There you go, I went outside.
And I closed the door and I sit backon the couch and I start working again.
And so, I sat there today and Ifelt this surge of energy go through
me and it was such a clear no.
(23:37):
Going into this other coachingprogram is going to be amazing.
It's going to be no doubt amazing, andit's going to no doubt supercharge me
to the moon with my business goals.
However, it's not the right timebecause what I really need to do
is to actually put my energy and myfinances back more into coaching.
(23:59):
Getting therapy for, for myself,getting therapy for Lee, getting
therapy for both of us in a marriagecounseling setting, um, because we
both have a lot of trauma in our life.
Me, him, individually and us together.
We've gone through a lot.
Some heavy things in in the recent yearsand we really actually need to come
(24:21):
together and and Find that place againand not that we don't love each other.
We love each other very much I Ilove Lee and he loves me and he
supports me and everything that I do
But we need to find that connection again
(24:44):
And I feel like every time I talk to Lee,all I talk to him about is my business.
And I put my business in frontof him every single time.
You know, I choose my businessover him, over God, over
myself, over everything else.
Sometimes my dad calls me and I lovemy dad and sometimes I can't even
(25:04):
like talk to him because I'm like,dad, I'm really busy right now.
I gotta, I gotta finish this.
And that's not okay.
So instead of signing up for anothercoaching program, instead of, um,
overdriving, overwhelming, overworkingmyself, I've decided that this year,
(25:25):
I am just really going to put myrelationship first and whatever gets
done, gets done in the business.
Whatever doesn't getdone, doesn't get done.
I don't want to supercharge myselfinto overdrive to try to meet
those goals in a timeline thatI want just because of my ego.
(25:46):
You know, yeah, I want to getto my, my, my first, you know,
million dollars revenue a year.
That's, that's what I would love, right?
And then from there, Iwant to keep going, right?
I want to, uh, just keep goingand it's not even worth it.
You know, I mean, all of those peopletoday that spoke in the panel who are the
(26:09):
seven figure entrepreneurs that startedjust like me, a lot of them shared their
story that they were like, Oh, yeah,they were just sitting in in my seat
and, you know, in this in the audienceseat, like, just like us watching them.
They were there in ourseats and and and watching.
The people in the panel and also startedtheir business from zero from scratch
(26:29):
from hardships from from confusion fromnot knowing from from started their
businesses out of, you know, a divorceout of a death out of a loss out of
miscarriages out of Death out of just somany hardships and yet those people are
sitting there right now and are now sevenfigure entrepreneurs and yes, I want to
(26:51):
be like them, but every single one ofthem has also said that it will happen,
but you can't force your way through it.
Number one, and.
Number two, it actually happens themoment you put your values first.
(27:12):
And for me, my value is myrelationship with God, my
relationship with Lee, my relationshipwith my friends and my family.
That's, that's my value, you know?
And, and yes, my relationship withmy, my families that I work with, my
students, but they're still my clients.
You know, like, I love, and that's aproblem with me because I work with kids.
(27:34):
I, I tend to really be attached to them.
Like, I love them so much.
I love, I love all my students so much.
And
I want to be that person for them thatjust knows that Miss Cat is there.
Miss Cat is going to be there for them.
You know?
And that's why I care for them so much.
(27:56):
That's why I do all the things thatI do because I love them and I just
want to show them in my own littleway Especially because it's online
and they don't I don't get to see themhold them hug them You know and just
really show them that I care for them.
I So I feel like sometimes I doovercompensate, I send them gifts, I send
(28:16):
them stuff, but it's just my way of justshowing them that I think about them, you
know, and I think when, when, when you'reworking with, with kids, with families,
sometimes it's hard to like put a boundaryand say, they're still your clients,
Kat, they're still your clients and your,your family still comes first, you know,
and it's hard because I, I, They're myclients, but I really do see them as part
(28:40):
of my family that I really genuinely seethem as an extension of my family, even
if they don't see me that way to me.
I see them that way.
That's you know, and it's that'swhy it's hard for me to detach
myself sometimes from my businessfrom all that I do because of.
You know, my attachment to theirwell being, to their growth.
(29:05):
Yeah.
And I guess that's a lessonthat I also need to learn.
That I need to not hold on so much tothat and detach myself from the results
of, you know, what they're getting.
And gosh, that's anotherlesson on its own.
But basically, what I've learnedis I'm aligning my values.
Going back to the beginning of my storyhere is that I'm aligning my values.
(29:27):
I am aligning, aligning whoI am and really and truly
what I value to my business.
I'm not making my business align.
I'm not making my businessdictate what I do.
I'm making my business bein alignment with my values.
(29:48):
And so I'm really proud of myself.
I am super proud of myselfbecause I'm one of those people
where it's like, next level?
Yeah, sure.
Sign me up.
You can pretty much sell me anythingwhen it comes to like personal growth
and mastery and all this stuff.
You can sell me anything.
I am all for it.
I will sign up for it and Iwill do the freaking work.
(30:08):
Because I enjoy working.
I'm one of those kids thatactually enjoyed homework.
So, no surprise here that I willsign up for Mastermind so that
I can give myself more work.
Yep, that is no surprise.
So Yeah, I'm just so proud of myselftoday that I did not actually sat and
(30:30):
I let the answer come to me and I wasseeking the answers like I feel like
I was asking God for the answers and Iknew that the answer was going to come.
Um, but I was ready to sign up for it too.
I was ready.
The, the, the applicationform was already in my bag.
It was ready to go.
And, um, I was like at any momentnow, God, if you say yes, I'm going,
(30:51):
I'm going, I'm signing up 11, 000.
Take my money.
Yeah.
Money that I don't have.
I'm just kidding.
But seriously, like, it's really crazybecause I signed up for so many coaching.
But I'm proud of myself to have,first of all, actually sat down to
listen, taking some breath work andlisten, and second, really being open
(31:14):
to the voice that's coming in andshowing me so clearly, like, Kat, it
is a no and this is the reason why.
It's because if you say yes to that,you're going to be in overdrive again,
you're going to be operating from a placeof emptiness, not hunger, but you're
just going to be doing this, right,because you're just so empty to try to
get yourself out of this hole that you'vedug, and, uh, All that's going to do is
(31:38):
it's going to put your business againin front of everything else that you
value and everything else that you saidthat you're doing this business for.
Because to be honest, I'm doing thisbusiness because I want freedom, right?
I have this dream of likeretiring leave from his work.
Like I want my businessto make so much money.
He doesn't have to work that hegets to also do what he wants to
do because all these years he'sbeen freaking supporting me.
(32:01):
My love for dance, he supported that,like my, my love for real estate, he
supported that, my, like, hey, here'sa 10, 000 course that I want to take,
he's like, sure, go for it, you know,it's, it's crazy, so I want him to be
able to be free and do the things hewants to do too, and So the thing that
(32:22):
I say, Hey, I want my business to besuccessful so it can give me freedom to
have more time with my, with my familyand, you know, and, and Lee and friends.
And here I am, it'staking me away from it.
So that ends, that ends today.
Tomorrow I'm going to go back andfly back to LA and it's a Sunday
and I have a ton of things to do.
(32:43):
And especially because of today ofthe last three days, I already got
a download of how I need to pivotmy offer that I just launched.
Um, And all these things that I need todo to test and, and, and put out there.
Um, but tomorrow, I am not going to work.
I said it.
The moment it came out of my mouth,I'm like, Did I really just say that?
(33:06):
Did I really just say that?
Because that's the problem too,because I actually love to work.
That's the problem.
Problem because I'm a freakingworkaholic and the problem about that
is realizing that it probably has comefrom some sort of trauma where I feel
like the need to always do something.
I can't just sit still and actuallybe okay and be at peace with myself.
(33:27):
I mean look at now it's literallyIt's really literally like almost 1am.
I have a flight at 7am here.
I am
talking about alignment with my values.
Apparently I don't value my health.
Oh my gosh, I'm such a walkingcontradiction sometimes.
But, but I just had to get this out todaybecause I feel like I was in a flow.
(33:49):
I was recording an episode everysingle night when I got back into
my Airbnb after the full day event.
We've been there since 9am this morning.
8am actually for me, I got in early andgot a little bit of coaching done, um,
this morning and it's now almost 1am.
I have a 6am flight and here I amstill recording this episode, but it's
(34:10):
okay because tomorrow I ain't working.
I'm aligning my business to myvalue and I'm going to value,
I'm going to show the world.
It doesn't really matter.
I'm just saying like, I'm goingto show, I'm just going to, I'm
just going to prove it to myself.
That's it.
That I can do this.
(34:30):
I can put myself first.
I can put my husband first.
I can put God first.
I can put my family first.
I can put my friendsfirst before my business.
I can work from a place ofalignment and not hustling.
I can do this.
Thanks for listening.

Today I'm going to shareabout working from a place of
alignment instead of hustling.
And for those of you who arelistening to this on audio, I'm
holding a jacket up that says hustle.
Uh, it would align, uh, crossing the wordhustle and align is right underneath it.
I definitely know a thing or two.
Or a hundred about hustling, but I amalso learning a lot about alignment.
(01:16):
And today is day three, um, from theBBD live business by design conference.
And, um, I really experienced todaywhat it means to be alignment.
Not that I haven't experienced itbefore, but even more so today.
Um, and he will understandwhy as I share this story.
In the last, I would say, gosh,eight years or so, I have spent
(01:41):
close to 150, 000 in coaching.
Um, and this is coaching literallyfrom anything from really real
estate to music to, um, My businessand for the most part, that's it.
Like the real estate music businesslicensing, learning how to be, you know,
(02:06):
certification program, all these things.
And yeah, close to 150,000 in coaching alone.
And I'm not even talking.
I'm not even counting theamount of money that I've spent
on training my body, right?
So that's also coaching, but in adifferent way, I guess, but training
my body for movement, right?
(02:27):
Like when I went into overdrive andtrained for stunts and I trained anything
from gun training to wire work to.
All sorts of different martialarts and the amount of money
that I spent that year, literallyjust on training stunts alone.
And then, of course, the years oftraining that I've put into aerial.
(02:47):
So that 150, 000 is literallyjust strictly on in the last
eight years of my growth in realestate and music and in business.
And Is it worth it?
Sometimes I don't know.
Um, sometimes I question myself too,but you know, like I spent 10, 000 on
(03:08):
a one year mastermind for real estateand I am very much an action taker.
I don't just when I.
Pay for something for a program.
I do not take it lightly and I do the workbecause I am a doer gosh I've been a doer
my entire life And i'm learning how tojust be but you know, I spent ten thousand
(03:29):
dollars on a real estate mastermindand I I did out of that mastermind.
I learned how to invest in real estateand we we did purchase you know, um
three Additional rental propertiesbecause of the stuff that I learned.
I purchased another realestate program training.
I think it was 7, 500 on note investingand out of that note investing.
(03:53):
I did purchase a note and we actuallyin fact sold that note this year.
And, uh, did get profit out of that.
I did go into a privateinvesting, not private investing.
It's, it was private funding.
You learn how to be aprivate funder for investors.
(04:14):
Um, that was, I believe also a 7, 000.
That one, I did not doanything about because, well,
we kind of ran out of funds.
We realized we can't be aprivate funder, a private lender.
It was a private, howto be a private lender.
We can't be a private lenderif we don't have funds.
(04:36):
So, um, but actually, I still know.
How to go into privatelending if I want to.
So later on, you know, hopefullyas you know, my business grows,
then we'll have funds and I canactually be a private lender.
So that's down the line, butI did learn that, but gosh,
there's just so many things.
(04:56):
The amount of coaching that I have.
Paid for has been crazy andthere's such a thing as hungry.
This is what I learned this and not that Idon't know this, but just kind of hearing
it from another person, you know, kind ofteaching it and also from a person that.
(05:19):
Her name is Natalie Ellis from Boss Babe.
Uh, she has built a freakingmultimillion dollar business.
And she has an incredible story,incredible, incredible story that I
encourage you to look up if you don't knowher already, but there is such a thing
as she was teaching about hungry versusempty, operating from a place of hunger
(05:40):
versus operating from a place of empty.
There's nothing wrong with being hungry.
There's nothing wrong with being hungry.
Having the drive, the hunger formore, the hunger to, to learn more,
to be more, to be better, right?
There's nothing necessarily wrong withthat, but there's something wrong with
that if you are combining that withoperating from a place of emptiness.
(06:05):
So, I think what I've realized asI look back in my experiences is
that I'm that person who's hungryto learn for more, who's hungry to,
to do more, who's hungry to grow.
And so I do feel that I've operated fromthat place, and I don't think it really
is from a place of emptiness for the mostpart for a while until actually in the
(06:26):
recent years that I realized that, um,the reason why I went into overdrive and.
Signing up for even more coaching and evenmore masterminds is because I'm starting
to kind of suddenly get scared becauseI'm signing up for all these things.
And yes, I am doing the work, but then Iam not seeing the return in my investment.
(06:52):
And part of the reason why I'm notseeing the return of my investment
financially is because when you'resigning up for so many coaches and
so many masterminds, then you have somany voices speaking into you so many
suggestions and coaching coming into you.
And now you're like,well, I will do them all.
Because that's me.
I'm the person who will like,you're, you're saying I'm doing this.
(07:15):
Yes, coach.
I'll do that.
And then this other coach tells meyou're saying that you should do this.
Yes, coach.
I got, I got it.
I'll do it.
I'm, I'm the yes coach person.
So all of a sudden.
I'm seeing that I'm gettingscared because I am, I'm signing
up for all these things and thenspending so much money on coaching.
(07:36):
Meanwhile, you know, my business, if I'mnot signing up for all of these crazy
coaching, my business is making money.
The problem is my business is not makingany money because everything that flows
into the business is literally justput back into all these coaching that
I'm paying for and mind you, they'renot, they're not cheap coaching.
Okay.
(07:57):
So, finally, I met thisguy named James Wedmore.
I met him.
Well, this weekend today,personally, but I met him online.
He didn't meet me.
I met him.
I saw him online and Isigned up for his course.
There we go again.
I signed up for hiscourse earlier this year.
June of of 2004, and it was a2997, uh, self study course.
(08:22):
There's some coaching.
Um, you know, there's some coachingwith with his trained coaches, but
it's not like one on one coaching.
It's really up to you to watch everythingand put everything into implementation.
But somehow.
And I always, I always kind of feel this.
It's like, there's going tobe something good from this.
I promise this is it.
(08:42):
This is it.
I think this is it.
And this time, this is it.
This time, this is it.
If there's only one coaching Icould choose, it would be this.
Because I have gone through so muchcoaching, and I'm a very coachable person.
(09:03):
I follow, and as I alreadysaid, I'm a yes coach person.
You tell me what to do, I will implementthe heck out of what you tell me to do.
The difference with James course isthat he really gives you a step by
step blueprint of what you need to do.
(09:24):
To actually earn moneyin your business, right?
Um, but, but it's not just the earning.
It's actually really being clear on whoyou serve, what you do, and how that fits
into the overall lifestyle of what youwant to do as a business owner, because
(09:46):
business is an addition to your life.
It does not take over your life.
And I'll talk about thata little bit more later.
But the thing about James is that,um, He makes it so simple, business is
simple, you have an offer, you make anoffer, and you make it to as many, you
(10:08):
make that offer to as many people aspossible, that's it, so you have an offer,
that's your product or your service.
You make an offer, because if youdon't make an offer, how are people
going to know to buy from you ifyou don't actually make that offer?
And number three, you getthat offer in front of as many
people as possible, right?
As many people that are in alignmentwith who you're offering it to, right?
(10:32):
So obviously, um, I'm not going to makean offer to dentists if my product or
my service is not for dentists, right?
So I have to get in front ofthe, the people that I'm serving
and make that offer to them.
Get in front of them,make that offer to them.
And then, and then obviously, uh,offer them the service or the product.
(10:52):
And it's just that simple.
The more you offer, and the more youget in front of more people, the more
money you'll make in your business.
And, you know, as I said,it's not about money, right?
But today.
I witnessed right a roomfull of people today.
(11:14):
We close out the event today.
A lot of them are alreadysuccessful entrepreneurs.
A lot of them are someof them are starting.
It was a mix of people in the room, right?
But there were a lot of entrepreneursthere who are like they had a
panel of seven figure entrepreneursand they're just regular people.
Like me, like you, regular people whogot a hold of their vision, they want to
(11:37):
serve people, uh, they put their businessonline so that they can serve more, right?
If your business is online, youobviously are able to reach more people
because you don't have that locationbrick and mortar, um, limitation.
And today I witnessed, um, Thewhole, the whole room today
raised about 250, 000, 251, 000.
(12:00):
Uh, we all gave money into the charitythis week called Charity Water.
And, um, James said that it was thebiggest, uh, money that has been
raised so far at this live eventthat we, that he holds once a year.
Um, it's a three dayevent once, once a year.
And, um, Because it's a room full ofentrepreneurs, entrepreneurs are usually
(12:22):
very, very giving people the reasonwhy we do business and the reason why
we want to make the money that we wantto make is because we want to be able
to have that capacity to serve andbless other people with our finances.
Um, gosh, like I, I havecharities I want to support.
I have causes I want to support.
(12:42):
I have, I want my own, you know,later on, like a freaking cat cafe.
It has a dog park that has a, uh,Amphitheater for performances that
we can host for children that wehave given scholarships to for
music and movement, and then theycome over here and they learn about
music and movement and life skills.
And we have this whole production that Ican just produce all on, all on my own,
(13:05):
like as far as financial goes, right.
Because I have those funds.
That's what I would love to do.
I would love to have a tree adventure parkbecause of my love for adventure, or you
can hold like team building activitiesand it's your own adventure park.
Gosh, there's just somuch that I want to do.
There's so much that money can do for you.
(13:27):
And if you have an amazingheart for people, gosh, that
money can go a long way.
Cause money is not the root of evil.
It's our, it's our greed.
It's our, it's our gosh,unstationable desire for money.
That's the root of evil, right?
But the money itself, it's, it's not evil.
It's just a tool.
So.
(13:48):
I witnessed that today and James, youknow, he is a 20 million entrepreneur.
His, his, I don't even know reallyactually how much he's, you know,
his revenue is gross revenue ayear, but he has this story where he
went from 2 million to 10 million.
And in one year, um, that is also anincredible story in and of itself.
(14:10):
He, his, his sleep was just aquantum leap in his business.
And it actually came from a very,very difficult time in his life.
The, there was a very difficult time.
Someone was suing him and he hadthis crazy fear that he was going
to lose everything and instead of.
Surrendering into that fear he steppedout faced that fear and his business
(14:32):
actually at the time that he got suedHe was able to grow his business from
two million to ten million dollars inone year And that was years ago And I
know that he is way past ten milliondollars now a year and I share all of
this because going back into verse hungerversus empty so I've been panicking
(14:52):
because basically I've been paying forall of these coaching things and nothing
is coming back because I am buildingway too many bridges when you have too
many voices in your head, you have toomany coaches telling you what to do.
You tend, especially if you're a yescoach kind of person, you will follow
all of these directions and now you'rebuilding this bridge, and now you're
(15:14):
building this bridge, and then thisbridge, and then this bridge, and then
this bridge, and then this bridge, andyou're wanting to go from here to here,
and then, uh, And all of those bridgesare never built all the way through.
So then my attention is, youknow, trying to catch like five
different rabbits all at once.
And I end up not catching any rabbit.
(15:34):
And finally, with James, I just reallyunderstand now, and I've learned
this too from other people, right?
I've learned the concept oflike, focus on one thing.
I've learned the concept of, um, um.
But, you know, being clear on who youserve, being clear on what you want to do.
I've, I've, I know all these thingsalready, but I think the difference with
(15:55):
James is he really has a step by step bystep by step, freaking the process, man.
The process is just ridiculous.
It is so clear that if you follow it.
It's not that it will happenlike that, right, but it's that
your success is truly inevitable.
It's going to happen if you follow it.
(16:17):
And so I sat there today and todaywas the last day of, um, Enrolling
in the BBD next level that'sbusiness by design next level.
So what I enrolled in this June washis, uh, self study course, right?
With like a little bit ofgroup coaching on the side.
And then the next level.
Above that is called next level and it'shis mastermind for the people who now want
(16:41):
to go further Instead of the once a yearevent that I get to go to right like which
is this event that I've been in this thepast Few days you get like four different
events and then More coaching from himand really more touch point with him
because he's been doing this for 17 yearsnow, the, in the online business space,
and he's just incredibly successful.
(17:03):
So he's, and he's coached thousandsof people and thousands of people have
literally followed his system and theyhave scaled this business to the moon.
And so here I am.
The enrollment for next levelwas due today by lunchtime.
And yesterday I kept asking,like, I literally kept asking God,
(17:25):
like, do I enroll in this thing?
Because I know, I know that I knowthat I know that if I enroll in this
thing, um, and especially because nowI'm actually focused in a sense, not
that I wasn't focused in the growingmy business before I was focused in
growing my business before, but I was.
Just focusing on way too many differentdirections because I had way too
many voices in my head, way too manycoaches in my ecosystem of coaches.
(17:48):
Right.
And so.
Now that I know that I know thatthis is the coach that's going to
take me further and I will no longerEnroll in any other coaches, right?
This is it.
I know that if I go to next levelmastermind, which by the way is
about eleven thousand dollars a year
(18:10):
So this is love and that it would bean eleven thousand dollar payment, I
know that I would succeed No doubt.
I just know it.
I have no doubt in my ability tofollow everything that he says, and
because I've seen it work for others,then I know it will work for me too.
Okay, because I have a vision of samething, same as all these other people
(18:31):
that I saw there today who's standingin the panel and they are called seven
figure entrepreneurs because they havescaled their businesses to seven figures.
And so I am that person who I want to sit.
On their seats, you know, a year fromnow, two years from now, however long
it takes me, um, to be that sevenfigure entrepreneur with the service
that I do, and because I love whatI do, and I believe in it so much.
(18:56):
And so here I am.
Really contemplating, do I spendanother 11, 000 in this next
level mastermind coaching becausehe only offers it once a year.
The enrollment is only open once a year.
And yes, last night I've been praying.
I said, God, like, what do I do?
What do I do?
What do I do?
And then.
This morning I texted Lee,I said, babe, yes or no?
(19:19):
And of course he has no context, right?
He said, yes.
I said, okay.
And I said, do you believe in me?
And he said, yes, ofcourse he believes in me.
Lee is super supportive, incrediblysupportive in everything that I do and
encouraging and all good things, right?
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
I guess I'm enrolling.
Of course he doesn't have the contextof what I'm saying and what I'm asking.
(19:41):
I'm just asking for, you know, a sign.
I'm just desperately asking for a sign.
I said, God, please just, just,okay, I'm going to quiet myself.
So I was, I was listening to thespeaker and I just, I just kept
quieting myself and I kept quietingmyself and I realized the answer.
If I.
(20:02):
do this, I will still be operatingfrom a place of emptiness.
And the reason for that is becauseall the other coaching programs I've
done up to the point in just thelast recent years, I'm not saying
from the very beginning I've, I'veoperated from a place of hungry.
I want to grow.
I want to grow.
And not that.
I'm not in a place of hungry right now.
(20:23):
I'm still in a place of hungry.
I want to grow.
I want to learn more.
But there's a lot of emptiness in myoperation, like in the way I operate
now, because of the fact that I amdesperately wanting to make my money
back on all these coaching programs thatI have been spending so much money on.
(20:44):
And because my business is not actuallymaking the money that I wanted to make.
And so I sat there and I said, If I Dothis, that means that it will require
me to step up even more because this isan 11, 000 product, which means that I
will work myself to the bone to literallydo everything that they're asking me
(21:07):
to do so that I can grow my business.
Right.
And I know that's actually not whatthey're going to tell me to do,
because with the way James work.
The reason why the people that he coachare coaches are so successful is because
his whole thing is actually doing less.
If you do less, you will actuallybe a lot more successful.
(21:29):
And if you just do the most importantthings, get, get, get away with from,
from all the fluff, you know, trim offthe fat, like whatever they want to call
it, like you'll actually earn a lot more,you'll actually be a lot more successful.
But I sat there and I knew that thenext level is going to be great for
me, but I just knew that it wasn'tthe right time because I actually
(21:50):
really need to heal the, the operatingfrom emptiness that's inside of me.
And then I evaluated my, my life for,for the last like two, three years or so.
I said earlier, business isan addition to your life.
It's not supposed to take over your life.
(22:10):
And what I've realized is that.
I have made my business, my God,
I have made my business.
The thing that I think about everywaking moment, every second of my life.
I have made it the thingthat goes before my husband.
(22:34):
I have made it the thing thatgoes before my prayer time.
I have made it the thingthat goes before me.
taking care of my body and actuallynurturing my body more and being
consistent with my practice and movement.
I've made it the thing that goes beforeme playing the piano, which every time I
play the piano, it gives me so much joy.
(22:56):
I have made it the thing that haskept me at home and working 16 hour
days, uh, and not even leaving thehouse for three, four days straight.
That's the reality of it.
And.
Lee would sometimes tell me, Babe, haveyou, have you gotten outside today?
You need to go outside.
(23:17):
And I would just be like, I would open thedoor and I would stick my head outside and
I'd be like, There you go, I went outside.
And I closed the door and I sit backon the couch and I start working again.
And so, I sat there today and Ifelt this surge of energy go through
me and it was such a clear no.
(23:37):
Going into this other coachingprogram is going to be amazing.
It's going to be no doubt amazing, andit's going to no doubt supercharge me
to the moon with my business goals.
However, it's not the right timebecause what I really need to do
is to actually put my energy and myfinances back more into coaching.
(23:59):
Getting therapy for, for myself,getting therapy for Lee, getting
therapy for both of us in a marriagecounseling setting, um, because we
both have a lot of trauma in our life.
Me, him, individually and us together.
We've gone through a lot.
Some heavy things in in the recent yearsand we really actually need to come
(24:21):
together and and Find that place againand not that we don't love each other.
We love each other very much I Ilove Lee and he loves me and he
supports me and everything that I do
But we need to find that connection again
(24:44):
And I feel like every time I talk to Lee,all I talk to him about is my business.
And I put my business in frontof him every single time.
You know, I choose my businessover him, over God, over
myself, over everything else.
Sometimes my dad calls me and I lovemy dad and sometimes I can't even
(25:04):
like talk to him because I'm like,dad, I'm really busy right now.
I gotta, I gotta finish this.
And that's not okay.
So instead of signing up for anothercoaching program, instead of, um,
overdriving, overwhelming, overworkingmyself, I've decided that this year,
(25:25):
I am just really going to put myrelationship first and whatever gets
done, gets done in the business.
Whatever doesn't getdone, doesn't get done.
I don't want to supercharge myselfinto overdrive to try to meet
those goals in a timeline thatI want just because of my ego.
(25:46):
You know, yeah, I want to getto my, my, my first, you know,
million dollars revenue a year.
That's, that's what I would love, right?
And then from there, Iwant to keep going, right?
I want to, uh, just keep goingand it's not even worth it.
You know, I mean, all of those peopletoday that spoke in the panel who are the
(26:09):
seven figure entrepreneurs that startedjust like me, a lot of them shared their
story that they were like, Oh, yeah,they were just sitting in in my seat
and, you know, in this in the audienceseat, like, just like us watching them.
They were there in ourseats and and and watching.
The people in the panel and also startedtheir business from zero from scratch
(26:29):
from hardships from from confusion fromnot knowing from from started their
businesses out of, you know, a divorceout of a death out of a loss out of
miscarriages out of Death out of just somany hardships and yet those people are
sitting there right now and are now sevenfigure entrepreneurs and yes, I want to
(26:51):
be like them, but every single one ofthem has also said that it will happen,
but you can't force your way through it.
Number one, and.
Number two, it actually happens themoment you put your values first.
(27:12):
And for me, my value is myrelationship with God, my
relationship with Lee, my relationshipwith my friends and my family.
That's, that's my value, you know?
And, and yes, my relationship withmy, my families that I work with, my
students, but they're still my clients.
You know, like, I love, and that's aproblem with me because I work with kids.
(27:34):
I, I tend to really be attached to them.
Like, I love them so much.
I love, I love all my students so much.
And
I want to be that person for them thatjust knows that Miss Cat is there.
Miss Cat is going to be there for them.
You know?
And that's why I care for them so much.
(27:56):
That's why I do all the things thatI do because I love them and I just
want to show them in my own littleway Especially because it's online
and they don't I don't get to see themhold them hug them You know and just
really show them that I care for them.
I So I feel like sometimes I doovercompensate, I send them gifts, I send
(28:16):
them stuff, but it's just my way of justshowing them that I think about them, you
know, and I think when, when, when you'reworking with, with kids, with families,
sometimes it's hard to like put a boundaryand say, they're still your clients,
Kat, they're still your clients and your,your family still comes first, you know,
and it's hard because I, I, They're myclients, but I really do see them as part
(28:40):
of my family that I really genuinely seethem as an extension of my family, even
if they don't see me that way to me.
I see them that way.
That's you know, and it's that'swhy it's hard for me to detach
myself sometimes from my businessfrom all that I do because of.
You know, my attachment to theirwell being, to their growth.
(29:05):
Yeah.
And I guess that's a lessonthat I also need to learn.
That I need to not hold on so much tothat and detach myself from the results
of, you know, what they're getting.
And gosh, that's anotherlesson on its own.
But basically, what I've learnedis I'm aligning my values.
Going back to the beginning of my storyhere is that I'm aligning my values.
(29:27):
I am aligning, aligning whoI am and really and truly
what I value to my business.
I'm not making my business align.
I'm not making my businessdictate what I do.
I'm making my business bein alignment with my values.
(29:48):
And so I'm really proud of myself.
I am super proud of myselfbecause I'm one of those people
where it's like, next level?
Yeah, sure.
Sign me up.
You can pretty much sell me anythingwhen it comes to like personal growth
and mastery and all this stuff.
You can sell me anything.
I am all for it.
I will sign up for it and Iwill do the freaking work.
(30:08):
Because I enjoy working.
I'm one of those kids thatactually enjoyed homework.
So, no surprise here that I willsign up for Mastermind so that
I can give myself more work.
Yep, that is no surprise.
So Yeah, I'm just so proud of myselftoday that I did not actually sat and
(30:30):
I let the answer come to me and I wasseeking the answers like I feel like
I was asking God for the answers and Iknew that the answer was going to come.
Um, but I was ready to sign up for it too.
I was ready.
The, the, the applicationform was already in my bag.
It was ready to go.
And, um, I was like at any momentnow, God, if you say yes, I'm going,
(30:51):
I'm going, I'm signing up 11, 000.
Take my money.
Yeah.
Money that I don't have.
I'm just kidding.
But seriously, like, it's really crazybecause I signed up for so many coaching.
But I'm proud of myself to have,first of all, actually sat down to
listen, taking some breath work andlisten, and second, really being open
(31:14):
to the voice that's coming in andshowing me so clearly, like, Kat, it
is a no and this is the reason why.
It's because if you say yes to that,you're going to be in overdrive again,
you're going to be operating from a placeof emptiness, not hunger, but you're
just going to be doing this, right,because you're just so empty to try to
get yourself out of this hole that you'vedug, and, uh, All that's going to do is
(31:38):
it's going to put your business againin front of everything else that you
value and everything else that you saidthat you're doing this business for.
Because to be honest, I'm doing thisbusiness because I want freedom, right?
I have this dream of likeretiring leave from his work.
Like I want my businessto make so much money.
He doesn't have to work that hegets to also do what he wants to
do because all these years he'sbeen freaking supporting me.
(32:01):
My love for dance, he supported that,like my, my love for real estate, he
supported that, my, like, hey, here'sa 10, 000 course that I want to take,
he's like, sure, go for it, you know,it's, it's crazy, so I want him to be
able to be free and do the things hewants to do too, and So the thing that
(32:22):
I say, Hey, I want my business to besuccessful so it can give me freedom to
have more time with my, with my familyand, you know, and, and Lee and friends.
And here I am, it'staking me away from it.
So that ends, that ends today.
Tomorrow I'm going to go back andfly back to LA and it's a Sunday
and I have a ton of things to do.
(32:43):
And especially because of today ofthe last three days, I already got
a download of how I need to pivotmy offer that I just launched.
Um, And all these things that I need todo to test and, and, and put out there.
Um, but tomorrow, I am not going to work.
I said it.
The moment it came out of my mouth,I'm like, Did I really just say that?
(33:06):
Did I really just say that?
Because that's the problem too,because I actually love to work.
That's the problem.
Problem because I'm a freakingworkaholic and the problem about that
is realizing that it probably has comefrom some sort of trauma where I feel
like the need to always do something.
I can't just sit still and actuallybe okay and be at peace with myself.
(33:27):
I mean look at now it's literallyIt's really literally like almost 1am.
I have a flight at 7am here.
I am
talking about alignment with my values.
Apparently I don't value my health.
Oh my gosh, I'm such a walkingcontradiction sometimes.
But, but I just had to get this out todaybecause I feel like I was in a flow.
(33:49):
I was recording an episode everysingle night when I got back into
my Airbnb after the full day event.
We've been there since 9am this morning.
8am actually for me, I got in early andgot a little bit of coaching done, um,
this morning and it's now almost 1am.
I have a 6am flight and here I amstill recording this episode, but it's
(34:10):
okay because tomorrow I ain't working.
I'm aligning my business to myvalue and I'm going to value,
I'm going to show the world.
It doesn't really matter.
I'm just saying like, I'm goingto show, I'm just going to, I'm
just going to prove it to myself.
That's it.
That I can do this.
(34:30):
I can put myself first.
I can put my husband first.
I can put God first.
I can put my family first.
I can put my friendsfirst before my business.
I can work from a place ofalignment and not hustling.
I can do this.
