(01:06):
and welcome back to the potty. Today we have the
incredible Samantha Daily. So sam actually came on the potty
right at the very start, I think she was. You know,
she's one of my very first guests, So I'm going
to link her very first episode, but she is back
and Wow. Sam is now a seven figure business mentor
(01:31):

we do chat manifesting, adopting a life happens for me, mindset,

we did have some tech issues with this episode, so
I do apologize the quality is not amazing, but the
content is definitely amazing. Let's get into it. Sam, Welcome
(02:19):
back to the Rise and Conker Podcast. Thanks for having me.
I'm so excited. What do I do with my hands?
How do we make this natural? Guys, we're just like
introge twice for this and we are obviously not tech
Galley's and we're trying to figure it out. So third
time Lucky Sam has been a potty. Before she came
(02:40):
on the potty, you would have to be one of
my first ten guests. It was quite early on, I
think so, and everyone was obsessed with your episode, because
you were talking about manesting back then, and I don't
think my audience Obviously I spoke a lot about manifesting,
but I don't think my AUNI and you know, knew
(03:01):
a lot of people, so they were obsessed with you.
But since then, you have gone on to move countries,
constantly build your business. You're still with your beautiful partner.
I would love for you to just catch us up
on what's been happening over the last four years. Yeah,
I know.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I think back to that episode and it's just like
so crazy how much has transpired since then. And I
feel like you're the usher to my Justin Bieber in
a sense where you're like, wow, this you know, you
just came across as like talented person and like brought
them into the spotlight. So I'm forever grateful for, you know,
the platform of getting to be on your show, especially
(03:41):
when yeah we were podcasting, was you know, so different
and it was really early on and I was just
at the very beginning of my business. So so much
has happened for both of us obviously in the past
like four years since then, but so much, you know,
for me because I was really such a baby in business.
At that point, I you know, had barely really you know,
had many clients at that stage. I think I had
(04:03):
done one beta round of my signature program. And now
I run a seven figure company and have you know,
moved from Spain back to the US where I'm from
and bought my dream beach condo. I live across the
street from the beach now in South Florida, And yeah,
just like life is so much different, and I'm so
(04:24):
grateful for the journey and all the risks that were
required along the way to get us here. But yeah,
it was kind of a crazy, crazy ride because I
had originally moved to Spain just on a whim, like
taking a risk for a guy that I met on
a dating app. Like I was twenty one and I
was studying abroad in Spain and I met this guy
(04:44):
and we ended up having like this Lizzie Maguire movie
experience where he was taking me around the city and
like teaching me things and we were fumbling over our
words and like kind of falling in love with each other.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And then I had to leave and.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Go finish school, and so we did a year of
long distance apart, and then when I graduated from university.
I was like, yeah, I'm going to decline my job
offers and I think I'm going to move back to
Spain and just fuck around and find out, you know,
move there for a year, teach English in the schools,
make no money, and that was the plan. And I
ended up staying for six and a half years. And
during that time period was when I you know, built
(05:19):
my business. I started a podcast, I became a coach,
and so many things evolved and changed for me. And then,
you know, it was such a blessing that the business
grew to a level where I was like, Okay, We've
got to like actually bring this back to the States,
you know, just for more opportunities within you know, my
audience and people that I want to connect with, and
also you know, income wise and for tax purposes and
(05:39):
things like that. And so that is kind of what
led us to make the big move from Madrid to
South Florida. And here we are now we're still together.
So it all worked out. All the all the naysayers
that were like, what are you doing with your life?
We're still together almost a decade later. Who's lacking that?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
That is? So I honestly love stories like that becuz
one hundred percent, like going back to the time, I
couldn't imagine you telling your parents like I'm not going
to take the job off, as even I've just done
college and I met this boy and he's really cute
and I'm just going to go over there with him.
Like I could imagine everyone being like what and now look.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
And now look, I know, look at me now.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I mean, I think it's just for me.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
It's like the biggest testimony of so much of like
what I teach, and I really believe, you know, we're
put here on earth and meant to live certain experiences
so that we can metabolize these different like lessons and
understandings from the universe and then share them with people
and be that inspiration. And so I really feel like
that's such a testimony in my life of the power
(06:46):
of trusting your gut and following your intuition and trusting yourself.
I always say, like, you know, self trust is my
main business strategy, but it's like my main life strategy.
You know, how do you how how I don't understand
how people can navigate life without trusting themselves, Like you
have to be willing to do the things even when
you feel kind of crazy if you want to get
where you're trying to go. And so, yeah, that story
(07:09):
obviously means a lot to me because it's the whole
foundation of everything that I have now and everything that
I've built because of it.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I love that. And even like going through your whole journey,
I know, you know, limiting buliff work, and my audience
is very familiar that what do you think is like
the biggest limiting belief that you had to overcome, whether
it was right at the start, whether it's been recently,
(07:36):
I generally would love to know.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I think maybe a belief that I held, but I
didn't really know it on a conscious level, Like this
wasn't a conscious story that I was telling myself. But
I do think to some degree I had always kind
of felt like, you know, it's possible for her, or
like you know, they've done it, but it doesn't necessarily
mean that like I can do it. And so that
(08:00):
was something once I decided that I was really gonna
get my feet wet and actually try to start to
build something and you know, build like a personal brand
and see what I could turn it into, I really
had to actually shift my identity around that to be like, no,
this is possible for me as well. And I think
so many people can relate to that, and that's that's
kind of like a you know, every new level, there's
(08:22):
going to be a new sort of like a version
of that belief, you know. But at the start, it
was definitely like, oh, these people have grown these really
big audiences on social media, or they've gotten these brand
deals or because that was like, really, you know, coaching
was so not what it is today back then, I
didn't even when I was first starting out, I didn't
even know what coaching was.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
By the way.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I just kind of like stumbled across it, like by accident.
I was never like I'm going to be a coach,
Like I had no idea what that was. I didn't
know anyone who had a coach. I didn't know anyone
who was talking about coaching, because this was like, you know,
twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, and so obviously there was an
industry for it, but it was not what it is now.
And so once I decided like, oh, I'm going to
try to build something of my own. I originally started
(09:04):
a blog and was sharing more on social but I
really had to shift that belief of like other people
have something that I don't have, or like they're more special,
or they're more lucky, or you know, it was more
possible for them for whatever reason, but it's not possible
for me. I also, weirdly enough, think that I had
a belief about the fact that I was living in
Spain just because of like not having as much accessibility
(09:27):
to communities or events or like things that I really
like could go to to like network or even like
algorithms on social media. Like I remember when TikTok just
started and Gary Vaynerchuk was like, TikTok is going to
be the new thing. So I was like, I'll follow
you to the end of the earth, Gary, whatever you say,
I'll do it. And so I got on TikTok, but
(09:50):
like they had the geoloc thing and it was just
so messed up. I went live one time I'll Never forget,
and like everyone was just like, what are you saying
in spani And I was like, oh my god, this
is not working. There was a limiting belief there too,
of like and maybe other people can relate to this
depending on where you live, of like maybe even if
you just live out in the country or something, or
(10:11):
you know, you're not in like a big major city
of feeling like, oh, because I live in this different place,
like I'm not going to have as much accessibility or
popularity or networking or whatever. So those are some that
kind of come to mind for me, especially at that
time in my life.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I love that I definitely had that too, because I
could one hundred percent see that limiting be almost like
constantly rearing its head at every new level for you.
So when you kind of see it coming into your
field again, how do you kind of work through it
or what's something that you have done even recently to
(10:48):
work through limiting beef.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah, I think now my process with working through limiting
beliefs has definitely evolved because the more that you do
it kind of the quicker that you get with it,
Whereas before it might be like this big journaling session
of like, Okay, what is the belief? Is that actually true?
How am I feeling about it? What am I making
this mean? What is the story that I'm telling myself?
(11:10):
Why do I say that I want this thing but
there's something underneath that that doesn't want it? What is
that trying to find the shadow side of it, like
doing all of that, and I think in the past used.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
To be like a bigger like upheaval.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Process that would need to happen, but nowadays, like if
I'm just being totally honest about what I do, I
don't necessarily do like a full you know, shadow work
journaling session with myself. But it's really more of just
kind of like instantaneously catching the belief and having that
self awareness that's you know, constantly scanning for am I
(11:42):
believing something that's not actually of service to my highest
self or to my you know, biggest future that I'm
trying to create, and in the moment noticing recognizing oh,
like wow, I'm actually yeah, I kind of feel that way,
and that's not that's not something that my future self
would feel.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
So let's shift it.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Let's create a new story, and then just kind of
right in that moment making a conscious choice to implant
like a new belief, and then anytime that it comes
up after that, it's just kind of like a shift
and something that I've always done for my whole journey
is used this kind of reframing technique of just I
forgive myself for thinking whatever I forgive myself for believing
(12:22):
whatever that kind of non helpful belief was, and then
I replace it by saying, I'm choosing to believe that,
or I'm in the process of believing that, you know,
and kind of giving yourself that step to where it
doesn't feel like you're totally lying to yourself. Of like,
I believe that I'm a multi millionaire. If that doesn't
feel accessible, if that doesn't feel true, you can say, like,
(12:43):
I'm choosing to believe that it is possible for me
to create wealth in the millions or that exceeds the millions,
or just kind of like phrasing those affirmations in a
way that allow you allow them to feel like stepping
stones rather than like these big impossible statements to where
your you know, bullshit radar is kind going off. But
that's really what it's like for me nowadays, is that
(13:04):
sort of self awareness, catching the belief and then consciously
choosing to change it in the moment and continuing to
adapt it, you know, as I go, if I feel
it coming up more.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I love that. And that's even like something I talked
to my students about is even giving you a step
by step formula, a process you want to get to
the point where you don't need to write this down.
You can do it in the moment. You can catch
it and it's way more powerful. But you do need
to have that first understanding. But then it's like like
(13:36):
you said, it's like in the micro moments consistently that
makes such a huge compounding difference. We'll get straight into manifesting,
because you are a manifesting queen, like I said, like
(13:56):
when we first did our podcast almost four years ago,
you were talking about manifesting and I just was obsessed
with your episode because not many people were talking about
it during that time, and you were so knowledgeable, and
I was like, this is my person, so let's go
straight into it. And even in the podcast we as
(14:17):
recorded for your podcast, which I'll look in the show notes, guys,
we were talking about how my manifestation process has changed
so much, and like your limiting belief process has changed.
I'm sure you're the exact same, and I really wanted
to talk and bring in this concept of how we
can balance like manifesting our goals and visions, but also
(14:41):
like surrendering to the flow of life, and like how
do you know when to push and how do you
know when to let go, because for me, as a
previous labeled control freak, this was honestly the hardest heart
about manifestation I had to learn, and I really had
to learn it with my trying chick conceive Johnny, and
(15:01):
I feel like I just like ace it now that's
literally we've got the tatoo. Life happens for me because
even when things are going to the shit out and like,
it's life happens for me. Complete surrender, I would list
time everything's fine, like the whole officem fire, my team
just laugh at me. I would love to know, like
your ideas on.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
That, Yeah, yeah, I think you know. Surrender and the
letting go is the most challenging step of the manifestation
process for most people because we're so used to feeling
like everything is on us. We're you know, the whole
everything is on our shoulders. It's up to us to
make it happen, and of course action is required in
the manifestation process. I hope at this point that we
(15:42):
all get that. I think people get that now. I
don't think that's like a thing anymore. I remember the
conversation joll manifesting in the past used to be like
you still have to do stuff, But I do think
that we're all past that at this point. So I
trust that the listeners of your show are like, we
get it a ligned action pace, so we do have
to take action, you know. There's also there's such a
(16:04):
magnetism to this energy of leaning back, and I think
one of the greatest kind of like parallels or like
illustrations that we can use when we think about this
is with the energy of dating. You know, when someone
is leaning back and they're not double triple texting you,
they're not like, hey, are we still on for our date?
(16:25):
Like they're not doing any of that like anxious attachment
type stuff, you are naturally more intrigued. You're naturally more
drawn to them. You're like feeling this attraction, whereas we
can get really anxious with our manifestations and kind of
like crowd them or almost like be like the hover
(16:45):
parent to our manifestations, like is it happening yet? Have
we made any progress? What are the numbers? Let me
check one more time? How many people have signed up
to my thing? And we're just like really like way
too much on top of it. And so understanding first
that there is such a magnetism to the end energy
of leaning back and not needing right and being like
I'm and that's hard, but you do have to kind
(17:07):
of sit with yourself and really feel into can I
get behind that is what I'm trying to manifest an
extra a bonus and excitement, a joy, a fun thing
or is it a true life necessity? Because if it's
a life necessity, I think the energy that you bring
to it is going to be a lot different than
(17:28):
these kind of cherry on top things where you're like
I want to manifest my dream home or the dream car,
or I want to be able to travel more or
more freedom in my schedule or whatever it is. Those things,
truly we might feel like we need them, but when
you really sit down with yourself, you can kind of
get clear on like, okay, I actually will be okay
if I don't get this, Like, what's the worst that's
(17:48):
going to happen. I'm not going to die. Everything's going
to be okay. I'll still be safe, I'll still be
taking care of it's going to work out. I'll find
a way, we'll figure it out. So you really do
almost have to take yourself all the way to that
point of like, will I be okay if this doesn't happen,
and affirm to yourself, like absolutely if this falls through,
even if it's something with money, or it's a job
(18:10):
that you really you know, you really want because it
would be amazing for you and would put you in
like a much better situation. Still, the truth of the
matter is if you didn't get it, you would figure
it out, you would apply to something else, you would
find another way. Right, There's always a third door, And
I think a lot of people are just stuck feeling like,
you know, when I go to the club, I can
(18:31):
either go in the front door or I can go
in the back door. But as an entrepreneur, you get
really creative and you start to realize that there's always
a third door option waiting for us. What about making
friends with the promoter or knowing the bouncer, or having
someone let you in through the side. There's always another way.
And when you realize that, you can like feel more
(18:52):
at peace with this idea of Okay, if it doesn't
work out, I'll be okay because I'm resourceful, because I'm smart,
because I'm creative, because I don't let myself do because
I have my own back because I'll be able to
figure it out. And that is what's going to bring
you enough piece to actually be able to lean back
and to be genuine in the leaning back. That's really
important because if you try to manufacture or fake the
(19:15):
energy of like I don't need it, but really your
energy is saying like I fucking need it, Like the
energy like the universe can feel that that you can't
manufacture that. And so an example that I can give
even in my own life recently, in my business, at
the end of twenty twenty three, I had a huge year.
In twenty twenty three, we you know, cross seven figures
(19:38):
in the business. The podcast did over a million downloads.
I had like thirteen trips that year. I was in
all kinds of different countries. I was running multiple retreats,
you know, launching various masterminds, like so many things were happening.
Then by the end of that year, I had experienced
some things in my personal life that were really heavy.
(19:59):
I got sick couple of times, I experienced a psychic attack,
and then my partner and I were unfortunately involved in
a scam where we lost a lot of money and
so a lot of money went out the door, and
there was just like this, you know, ending the year
with this like heaviness of feeling like, whoa, I've been
on this big ride, so many amazing things happening, but
then like you know, a gut punch to end it,
(20:21):
and that kind of left me feeling like slightly burnt out.
To be honest, of like, okay, I need to like
reevaluate a little bit my priorities. So coming into the
new year in twenty twenty four, I declare that this
year was going to be my soft CEO era, And
what that meant for me was not like I'm stepping
back from my business, but really just that I'm rearranging
(20:42):
my priorities and I'm going to put myself first. Even
though i have a lot to manage, even though I'm
a CEO, even though I have people relying on me,
I get to choose my schedule. And that's why I
wanted to do this in the first place. So let
me optimize that, let me hire a personal trainer, let
me take fridays off, let me you know, launch less
if that feels better for my energy, let me prioritize
(21:03):
my relationships. And so in doing that, I had to
get really real with myself and say, you know, honoring
this new pace and the way that I want to
live my life at least for this year might come
with some income fluctuations, and that might mean that the
business does less in revenue this year than it did
last year. And I got really real with myself of like,
(21:25):
that is okay, and I'm actually expecting that that might happen,
and I'm not too worried about it, and I'm not
going to go into overdrive of trying to like override that.
I'm just gonna let that be okay. And because my
energy was genuine in being okay with earning less and
maybe you know, making less revenue and moving at a
(21:46):
different pace, what I discovered through this year was that
even though my energy has shifted so much and I've
rearranged so many things and I'm doing things in a
different way and I do feel more at ease and
definitely a lot softer in my energy leaning into the feminine,
the revenue is actually up in the business compared to
last year. And so those are the kind of results
(22:07):
that I think, you know, we see from the outside
where it's like if you just relax and let it happen,
you'll probably receive more and then you end up being like, okay,
So I'm going to pretend like I'm calm, I'm going
to pretend like I'm relaxed. I'm going to pretend like
I'm doing less, and you're trying to deceive the universe.
You're trying to fake or manufacture an energetic frequency, and
(22:30):
as we all know, energy doesn't lie. So I think
the biggest thing with leaning into the surrender and the
trust and letting go is really truly believing that you
will be okay even if it doesn't happen the exact
way that you're hoping that it will, and having that
be a very genuine, pure energy of acceptance. When the
acceptance is there, you'll find that things ultimately work out,
(22:53):
and of course not still in the way that you
always imagined like it could be. It happens in another way,
but things are always happening for you, as you know.
And so the more that you can kind of like
lean back, the more magnetic you'll be, the more of
a you know, a better experience you'll have, and the
more that you'll actually be translating that true lean back
energy to the universe.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I love that so much. Thank you for sharing that
with us. It is it's so interesting. I honestly had
a very similar experience where last year it really felt
like I had some huge, huge highs, but it came
with a lot of lows. And also, if I'm very honest,
when I looked back, it was a lot of almost
(23:35):
proving energy of like, well I can do something really
huge in my business. It's like I'm going to go
out and do this. But I really kind of took
the you know sheet away and I was like why
did I feel the need to do that? And it's
like why did I feel the need to prove that
my business is you know a legit natural subplements cotting
(23:57):
or like you know those sorts of things, and really
questioning the behavior and reflecting because it's like we don't
know until we try, and being like thank youself for
like really wanting to go and the momentum and everything
in that year, but also now I want something different
and also I believe that I can have something different.
(24:18):
In e com businesses, there is this kind of trend
where you see a lot of like hype campaigns, like
big events and like very kind of risky things done
it comes to the territory. But again I had to
be like, hang on a second, and absolutely, if it
feels aligned, if the team's on board, if I'm on board,
(24:39):
if the energy feels right, we'll do these you know,
fun exciting things, but just also being wary where it's like,
are we just trying to compete? Are we trying to prove?
And to me, I'm like, that's not the right energy
in which to do something. And then last year, yeah,
it just felt like I was probably turning the wheels
a little bit too much, and this year, I'm like,
(25:00):
it feels better to be slower, to be soft, and yeah,
I want to absolutely see the same results or more,
but also at okay, if not, because it matters what's
happening internally rather than externally. That actually matters to me more.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
And now I know absolutely yeah, And it requires that
true acceptance of I'll be okay if you know, this
doesn't work out or we make less money or whatever,
because it's worth it to me to prioritize these other things.
That's exactly kind of what my experience was as well.
And you know, I think when it comes to the
(25:37):
energy of like manifestation in general, and like leaning back
and whatever. I think another element to that that maybe
is a little bit more like fun of something that
you can like throw in there and like add a
twist to your perspective or the way that you see
manifestation is seeing yourself as the manifestation. Like you are
being manifested by opportunity. These buy brand deals, buy visibility,
(26:03):
by whatever it is that you're seeking in your life.
Those things are looking for the energetic match to bring
them it to life, projects, courses like things like that.
Those entities, those energetic entities. Have you ever read Big
Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert? Yeah, I figured you would have
read that book, so you know, in Big Magic she
(26:24):
talks about how like ideas are like energetic entities, and
like they're kind of like floating around in the ether
and they're like searching each other person, right, and they're
they're searching for the person to be generated through or
to be like birthed through. And so if you think
of all the things that you want in life, the opportunities,
the money, the experience, is, the visibility, the whatever, those
(26:44):
are all like energetic entities and they're looking for their owner.
They're looking for the thing that can birth them into
the world. They're looking for the place where they can
be channeled through You see yourself as that thing, and
you're like, I'm going to be the one that they choose.
I'm going to be a match because why wouldn't you
pick me?
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Right?
Speaker 2 (27:03):
And those big opportunities are looking for someone who is
high energy as a big personality, who's energetic, who's loving life,
who's you know, free, who is chill but like growing
and cares about herself and knows how to prioritize and
has great relationships. Like just become that person that those
ideas and opportunities would want to choose as their vehicle
(27:26):
to be brought to the earth. And that makes this
process of manifestation even more fun too, because it's like, duh,
why wouldn't you pick me? Hello, Like, look what I'm doing,
Look how awesome I am. Look at you know, all
the work that I'm doing on myself. I think that's
a fun way to kind of like view it.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
That was so good. I love that. Thank you so
much for bringing that in. Let's talk about business, because
you're obviously an incredible business courach and love how you
really marry the spirituality manifestation with business. If there was
(28:04):
someone who is, let's say that either just starting out
in business or they currently run their business and it
they love what they do, but it's like it feels
hard and it just feels like, oh, like something isn't
right here. Do you have any like recommendations or theories
or insights to that?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah. So I got a message from someone the other
day that was, like, what would you say to someone
who has so many ideas and is dying to build
something but doesn't know what to choose or where to
start or what to build. And my answer for that
was really simple, and it's get mentorship, get accountability. I
(28:46):
think when you're feeling like everything is hard or you
have so many things you don't know which one to choose,
we're in this constant battle of like is this the
right choice? Is this the wrong choice? And it's stopping
you from really doing anything.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
And the thing.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
About creating a big business, manifesting your dream life in
any way, shape or form, is that you've got to
take the first step. When you cannot see what step
two is, when you cannot see what step three is,
you have to actually just start and so I think
it's really valuable for people that are at at you know,
the early stages of their business journey to get mentorship
because we get so in our heads, like you have
(29:22):
business mentors, I have business mentors. Like it doesn't matter
the level that you're at, we all get distracted by
little things, even what you're talking about, like last year
of feeling like, oh, you know they're over here doing that,
should we do something like that? It's like this proving
energy of like wanting to compete or seeing what other
people are doing. That happens at every level. But you've
got to like find a way to build the mindset
(29:44):
to keep you steady and streamlined of no, this is
the goal. This is what I'm going to start with.
Here's the steps. Let me just do step one and
then step two will appear from there. So really having
accountability and some sort of plans that you can get
out of like the chaos and the mud of like
the mind that's pulling you in all these different directions,
(30:05):
and really just know what to focus on that is invaluable.
And when you have that, you can start to have
a lot more fun because the reason why it's feeling
hard and you're not having fun is because you have
so many decisions to make and you're not actually making
any of the decisions because you're stuck in the indecision.
You're stuck in the overthinking, oh my god, what if
I chose that wrong?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Should I do this?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Should do that? I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
I have to wait.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Oh I can't do step one because I don't know
what step three is. How do I start this podcast?
Do I need to do video?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Should I cut?
Speaker 2 (30:33):
It's like you're getting so far ahead of yourself that
of course it's no fucking fun. That's miserable. So get
the accountability, get the mentorship, get yourself a plan, because
once you have someone that can say, okay, I see
everything that you want to do. We've laid it all out,
but where I believe we should start is here.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Do this.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Come back to me next week. Then you know what
you're doing. You're more focused, you're more streamlined. So now
you can be enjoy. Now, you can be in play, now,
you can be in fun. Now you can actually go
out and live your life and know that you're making progress,
and that's going to make you more magnetic. You're going
to have more fun, and we talked about on my show,
like the energy of like fun is what attracts money.
So it's just going to do amazing things for you.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Thank you so much for sharing and Ian like this
year you said ceo era, what does that kind of
look like?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
And Maine to you, the soft ceo era was really about,
like I said, kind of prioritizing my values ahead of
the growth that I wanted to see happening in the business,
because I think when you start growing a business, it
becomes your baby. Like we talked about on my show,
like you had your businesses as your baby, and then
(31:40):
you had a real baby and you were like, oh fuck,
you know, like one of these is actually like a
real living child and the other ones, you know, so
it's like that starts to make you shift your priorities.
And so I just had like this, you know, waking
up feeling of oh, like I really need to be
getting in more steps, I really need to be like
working out more. I need to rearrange how I envision
(32:02):
my calendar. I switched around kind of what my themed
days were so that I could stay more on track
each day and not be task switching as much. I
personally use my Google calendar as my to do list,
and that allows me to be a lot more realistic
with how much time a task is going to take
me and where I can kind of like slot things in,
rather than having this huge, long to do list of
(32:22):
all these things and then getting to the end of
the day or the end of the week and feeling
like I didn't accomplish everything that I set out to do.
So just better structure an organization, because as you know,
when you want to be more in your feminine energy
and you want to be more on flow, there's structure
required so that you can feel safe in letting go,
so that you can feel safe and relaxing. I decided
(32:43):
to take Fridays off of work and have that just
be a personal day for me. But that required, you know,
the scaffolding and the structure of what are the other
four days of the week and to look like, then,
how are we going to you know, build this out,
and what are the themes of those days so that
I can really stay for the most part, like singularly
focused on each of those days instead of being like
this scatterbrained, you know person that's switching between all of
(33:05):
the you know, creative work and then logistical work and
then strategy work and so doing that, and then also
I just decided I'm only going to launch things in
a way that actually feels fun for me to do.
So if I don't want to launch them thing, I'm
not going to. And if that means less revenue, so
be it. But also when it came time to launch
(33:26):
something that I thought maybe I wasn't going to originally
at the start of the year because I was like,
those launches usually feel really heavy and a lot of energy,
so I'm probably only going to do that once this
year instead of twice. But when it came time to
actually do it, I was I was feeling more my
cup was more full, and I was more nourished because
of how I had been leading myself through the year.
So I actually did feel like I wanted to launch it,
but I was like, I'm going to do it in
(33:46):
a way that actually is like totally new and like
is experimental, but it just like feels fun and it
actually feels like something that I want to do, And
so being willing to experiment too, because you know, launching
something in a new way could work or it could
not work. But I'm in that lean back energy of like,
you know, let's mess around and find out and if
it doesn't work the way that I want to do,
(34:07):
I know that I'm going to be okay. And so
it was, yeah, a lot of that. I hired a
personal trainer, I've been weightlifting a lot more and focusing
on it. Sounds so simple, but like eating three meals
a day just yeah, as like as like an entrepreneur,
like sometimes you're like, oh shit, like I didn't eat
lunch and I was like, I don't want to do
that anymore.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I love that. And again it's like having those boundaries
and almost like what I see it as, it's like
you anticipating or not waiting for the burn burnout. You're
anticipating it and acting first, so then you're never you know,
burnt it out, which I.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yeah, like like prevention, you know, being proactive rather than
like reactive to like, oh shit, now I don't feel good.
What do I do now?
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Okay? I feel like all of us we feel out
and we feel you know, whether it's in our business,
whether it's starting something new, going to the next level anything.
What do you you do when you feel down?
Speaker 2 (35:01):
When I feel doubt, I know that it's an opportunity
for growth, and so I typically ask myself, what is
the worst case scenario, what is the worst thing that
could happen, And if that were to happen, would I
be okay? Most of the times the answer is yes,
I still would be okay. And then I go to
the other side and I ask myself, what's the best
(35:23):
case scenario, what's the best thing that could happen? And
how much risk am I willing to take if the
opportunity of that happening of the positive result is on
the line. And most of the times the risk is
worth the reward, and so I go forward.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Anyway, I love that last question when you're feeling stuck
or uninspired, especially being you know, the founder, the visionary
of your business, how do you get realigned? How do
you get back into the state aflow?
Speaker 2 (35:56):
So this is something that I give to my high
level business mastermind clients. We actually do a month long
challenge when they start with me. It's called the creative Vortex,
but I'll just give you like a couple like snippets
from it. Essentially, you know, our creative energy is the
life force of our business, no matter what kind of
business that you run, we have to be innovative and
(36:16):
constantly creating new things, and so it's really important if
you feel like you're lost from that or detach, you're
not having any new ideas, you're not feeling inspired.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Most of the time.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
The problem is that we are over consuming other people's
ideas and other information, and so it's about unplugging our ears,
like literally and metaphorically from what everyone else is doing
and getting realigned with our center and ourselves. So for me,
like I've gone through phases where I've literally cut out
all personal development from my life, like no more podcasts,
(36:49):
no more personal development books, because it gets to a
place where you literally feel like you're just trying to
like catch up with yourself or like learn so much
or digest it so quickly so that you can implement
it in your business or teach someone else how to
do it. And if you feel that happening, you're going
to be so disconnected from your own creativity because you
don't feel like you're as good as all the things
that you're consuming and learning. So shutting that off and
(37:12):
doing something called that I call non stimulation walks, which
is you know a lot of us go on our
Hot Girl walks. We go on walks daily, but no music,
no podcasts, no books, no phone in general, no no calls,
no conversations with anyone, just silence. So it's you walking
with no disruptions. We're not plugging our ears with anything.
This actually helps you open your channel and you'll notice
(37:36):
that you feel a lot of resistance to going on
the walk because you don't want to be alone, which
is such a weird concept where you're like, I need
something to keep me company while I'm on my walk.
But once you start doing it, you'll start to like
get reacquainted with the voice in your head and you'll
be having conversations with yourself and you'll be like strategizing
what's coming up in your business or how things are
(37:57):
in your relationship, or you know, you'll be actually talking
to yourself and ideas will come and that opens the
channel and so you know, cutting off the things that
are distracting you. And part of that for my clients
a lot of the times is muting and unfollowing a
lot of people on social media. I challenge them to
unfollow everyone in their niche, anyone that's in competition with
(38:19):
them their type of like brand or whatever they do.
It's like, don't look at any of that for a
period of time and then do the non stimulation walks,
and I invite them to also do some sort of
daily devotional practice to the vessel, to the founder, to
the visionary, something that serves you. Not necessarily like, oh,
(38:40):
I'm going to do outreach every day because it helps
the business, but it's like devoting something to the channel,
to the visionary, to the vessel of the business. What
is going to serve you, what is going to make
you better, what's going to fill your cup and light
up your energy. So if you guys want to try
join the creative vortex, oh.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
My god, I love it. I'll be joining.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
I feel like I'm doing that asap.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
I love the non stimulation walks. Honestly, when you said it,
I was like, I'll know, so that means I absolutely
need to do it right. Yeah, Oh my gosh, Sam,
thank you so much. There has been such a beautiful conversation.
I feel like he keep talking forever, and it just
means you have to come back from the potty. But
