(01:13):
and welcome back to the RNC potty. Today. I'm actually
getting super raw and real and I'm chatting to about
my money story. So I'm going back to the very beginning.
I'm chatting about my childhood, you know, high school, when
I was a law grad all the way up till now,
(01:37):
and I wanted to share this with you so you
could really see the transformation. And I feel like sometimes
when people do talk about money, and it's very quick
to say, oh, well, you know, it's easy for you.
Look you know, look what you have now, Look who
you are now. And so I really wanted to share
the raw and real beginning and also just take you
(02:00):
back through because I feel like knowing where I came
from and a lot of my beginning money beliefs will
make sense with my life now you could put it
all together. And so this has really come because if
you didn't see the announcement, we are launching the Abundance
(02:20):
Academy next week. This is a thirty day transformation to
really create the foundation and grow your money mindset and
learn about money energetics. This has been work that I
have been doing for years and years and years that
have has absolutely changed my life. And so I actually
(02:45):
created the bones of this course a couple of years
ago and I have just been like adding to it,
perfecting it. I remember a couple of years ago, I
like fully did an outline. I spoke to Jamie about it,
and it just didn't feel right, felt like there was
just like more to add, more to learn, And I
had the calling this year to put out this course
(03:08):
because I really have realized how transformational it has been
for me in my life and how I make a
lot of my decisions in business, in family, in everything.
And I really feel like it's this base thing that
everyone should have, should learn about, should know. And it's
(03:28):
so interesting because since really perfecting this course and you know,
doing a lot of testing with it, I've been speaking
to a lot of people, like even families and family
and friends, and I was chadding to my cousin yesterday
and it's so interesting to me that this isn't spoken
about and this isn't done, and it's kind of like,
(03:50):
you know, everyone wants more money, they want more wealth
and more abundance, and it's so interesting that when I'm like, well,
have you done the mindset founding? You know, have you
learned about the energetics, And the same answer is always no.
So I'm so excited to bring this to you guys.
We have been working on it. We've also been making
(04:10):
sure that this is a course that is doable and implementable.
I'm not sure if that's a word. But that's the
reason why it's thirty days, because it is an audio
training plus a workbook, plus meditations, plus EFT tapping, plus
you know, subconscious reprogramming training videos. But it is something
(04:31):
dropping every single day for thirty days, so it's doable.
It's short, sharp, every single day, but you're going to
get so much out of it. And also because this
is the very first live round, we are doing an
insane early bird are pricing for this live round only,
so the cut will open, there will be a limited
(04:53):
amount of stops and then spots, sorry, and then it
will close. And because this you know, is the first
time launch, we do have an early bird price, which, yeah,
it's it's a bit insane, but as you guys know,
with the project, we have hundreds of like testimonies and
people who have done the course and you know, so
we totally understand that this is brand new and you
(05:14):
might be apprehensive. So we've made it a no brainer
for those who feel called for this first live round.
So all the details are on social media. I do
a chat chat a little bit about it in this episode,
but this episode is just mostly you know, my background
on my money story and We will put some details
in the show notes if you want to check that out.
(05:37):
But before we get into the episode tear, should we
do some weekly recommendations?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yes, I have won be Inspired Unemployed TV show season
tours out.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Oh that's my recommendations.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It's a good laugh. I loved their first one. Yeah,
have you watched it the second?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah? I've watched most of it? Is that funny? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I love that? Well. I actually watched a really funny
movie last night on Netflix, and I haven't watched anything
on Netflix in such a long time apart from like
Bridgeton and.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
It was The Blockers. Have you heard of it? I have.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
It's just a very very funny, lighthearted, lighthearted.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
You don't need any brain capacity. And I was just
like I watched it on my phone in bed and
Tim's like, what are you laughing at?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I was just like laughing to myself and I was like, Wow,
I needed this. So that was that was a vibe.
Were some little lighthearted recks for you?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
All right, Well let's get into this deeper episode.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
So my money story, So I feel like my money story, well,
everyone's money story really starts from their parents and probably
their parents and then their parents and their parents and
basically so my parents they their parents randomly both came
from England, like not together, they didn't know each other,
(07:03):
but both families came on the boat from England when
England was doing they did this whole campaign basically where
they said, if you moved to Australia, we'll pay you,
so not only will you get a free boat over there,
but will give you some money. And both of my parents'
parents were you know, quite poor, came from poor parts
(07:24):
of England and were like a new life, a new beginning.
So they moved over from Australia on the boat. I've
got some really cute videos not video, sorry, photos that
my mom sent me of like, yeah, them on the
boat in a cute little outfits. My mom's family she
has five sisters. Wow, so big family of gals. Wait,
(07:46):
there's five sisters, all lot. So she's got four sisters sorry.
And then my dad's family, he's got two sisters. Wow,
a lot of sisters. And so they both came over.
My granddad was in the navy, and my my on
my mom's side, and my nana didn't work and like
looked after the five girls. And then on my dad's side.
(08:08):
Both his parents worked in a bra factory until they retired,
and so, you know, they both grew up in Woodridge,
Logan area, which back then was like a bit of
a lower socioeconomic area. Not anymore, no, shed him.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
A far.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, so this is obviously like sixty years ago. So
my parents grew up there and they actually went to
the same high school, but didn't meet until they were
both in the higher grade. And so they got together
when they were sixteen, married when they were nineteen. Mum
had Josh when she was like twenty one or twenty two,
and then she w I know, so she actually she
(08:52):
went to tathe was ducks of her college, so smartest
in her tape. She was going to do work in
the courts and then she had so she stopped working
and then she went on to have three more kids.
So they had all four kids before they were thirty. Yeah,
like my age, you got four kids, just had me.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I know, guys, my jaw is on the floor, but
that can't imagine it.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, wow, so you can imagine being that young having
four kids. My dad was a qualified plumber and he
always worked for someone else up until he was thirty
because it was like, you know, safest option. So they
and we lived on a farm, so farm life. We
had goats, we drunk the goat's milk, we had chickens
(09:37):
and had the eggs, and you know, very like wholesome beginnings.
And then I remember when I was about three, we
moved into a suburban house that mom and dad built themselves,
which was like a huge moment for us. So as
mom and dad got over and Dad started his own
plumbing business, which he you know, scaled and grew, we
started becoming more well off. So you know, I think,
(09:59):
to buy your own house, that's quite well off. You know,
even back then it was like two hundred grand. Could
you imagine buying a four bedroom house on I think
it's like half of an acre. Our house is on
for like two hundred and fifty grand. I'd buy it
out right.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I own the whole thing. I don't the whole thing,
don't need a mortgage, I know, could you imagine, Oh
oh my god, I know, but back then there was
so much money that yeah was obviously, Oh god, I
know how times it changed. Anyway, back to the story,
So I grew up quite at the end, Like when
(10:39):
I was eighteen. My parents had like made it where,
you know, they were quite well off compared to when
they grew up, but because of how my parents grew
up with their parents.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
It was very frugal. It was very like my parents'
favorite saying was like look after your pennies and the
dollars will follow, you know, just the stuff Like before
I went to school, it was like turn off all
the lights and turn off the fan, don't waste energy.
You know, we weren't allowed the air coorn on. You know,
just those sorts of things like very let's save money.
(11:12):
Me and mom always shopped in like Best and Less
and even like Target was quite bougie. Yeah, Target was
like oh special occasion and like I even have this
funny story like my cousins were from Melbourne and their Arnie,
My Arnie used to shop at like Country Road and stuff,
and my parents my mom was like, that's ridiculous spending
(11:34):
that much money on like a plane T shirt. But
it was almost looked like frowned upon and looked down on,
like oh stupid, Yeah, you're stupid. Why would you do
that with your money? Yes, be smart with your money.
So like my parents believe it's like you can have money,
but you have to make really smart decisions, be really frugal.
I even remember like cutting up the coupons to go
(11:57):
get like DVDs and like hungry Jacks and pizzas and stuff,
like I loved going through the coupon books and being like, Mom,
can we fucking get pizza on Saturday night? It was
very special. And especially having four kids, I remember like
not that there wouldn't be enough food, but especially having
three brothers, like all the food would be eaten, so
I would have to like fight for food, yeah, and
(12:18):
be like I remember this. You could have three chickens
on the table and it's still yeah, pretty much. And
I remember like Cooper once during dinner he had to
go to the toilet like go door pool or something,
and he gave Mom his plate and said, can you
hold this because I know someone else will eat it?
And he was scared of someone else eating his dinner,
(12:40):
Like this is why I'm not even joking it. Yeah.
So I don't know if that's just like having a
brother's thing or but it was like yes, and so
it's like I just remember that. So me growing up
very frugal. You know, you save your dollars. You can
have money, but you have to work really, really hard.
So my dad were every single day, even on Saturday's
(13:02):
tool about like one pm. And then on Sundays him
and my mom used to do the invoicing, so they'd
be in the office typing out invoices, sending invoices, and
then my mum also did that during the week. So
they were an incredible team. They did incredibly well for themselves.
I'm so proud of them, but it definitely built some
interesting money beliefs. So then in my early twenties, I
(13:25):
just noticed no matter what I did, I could not
get ahead. So I moved out of home quite early
when I was nineteen. But I did live with Tim,
which I definitely feel like it's different when you live
with a boyfriend, because he was kind of, you know,
if I couldn't cover rent that week, he could help
me out and I'd always pay him back, but it
(13:47):
had leniency. I had a bit of a security blanket
with Tim, so I was quite you know, privileged in
that way. But I just remember being younger and even
working full time, so getting about six hundred a week,
but I just still could never have enough money for bills,
never kind of get my shit together with the money.
And I remember a key moment where I got, like
(14:10):
red Joe, a speeding fine and a parking ticket in
one week and it was like over fifteen hundred dollars
or I don't know, something like that and just like
crying because I could not cover these things and I
knew it would take me weeks and weeks to saber.
And I remembered him saying to me, Georgia, you you
know you earn six hundred dollars a week, like kind
(14:31):
of get your shit together a bit, like you can
cover this, You just have to fucking get your shit together,
and having a big bit of a like reality come
to reality moment. And that was when I was almost
sick of being in victim mentality with money and always
not like not having enough. And I really noticed that
was like a shift in my money story because from then,
(14:54):
I actually and I before then too, I was a
bit ignorant where I didn't like looking at my bank
account because it like you just stress me out, and
I was like very avoidant with money. And then that's
when things kind of shifted and I started being like,
all right, I do need to kind of like treat
money better and treat my money situation better. And even
it's funny because they didn't have language for that, but
(15:15):
now I can see I had a direct shift in
how I was with money in regards to it being
a relationship, because what I believe is you're in relationship
with money. So just like, for example, if you have
a best friend or a boyfriend, imagine in that relationship,
if you avoided them, you never looked them in the eye,
(15:37):
you never wanted to know about their problems, you never
made time for them, you never put them in your calendar,
you know, imagine that relationship. Would that person want to
be with you? No? No, they'd be like it was
so avoidant, Like I got, I can't have a healthy
functioning relationship with you. And a lot of people are
(15:58):
going around with a bad relationship with money and then
wondering why they don't have money, why they can't hold money,
why they always like lose money, and that sort of thing,
And the first place to really look is like, well,
how are you being with money? Are you being avoidant?
Are you being attached where you can't spend any money
because you feel like it will never come back, Like
(16:20):
imagine that relationship where your partner doesn't let you leave ever. Yeah,
watching you twenty four to seven your phone, Yeah, you
would be like ill, no, I'm out. This is toxic.
So even I think the first place to start is
being like how you actually being with money? Because money
is an energy, It's responding to your energy. Even a
great way to think about this is, for example, you know,
(16:42):
I have a two year old, and toddler's are so
responsive to energy. If I come downstairs and I am avoidant,
if I don't give iv eye contacts, if I don't
give her time, if I'm grouchy, if I'm on my phone,
if I'm ignoring her, I notice she will be quite
difficult to deal with. Yeah, compared to if I go
(17:03):
downstairs direct eye contact. How are you, Ivy? I love
you so much, Ivy. I'm like giving her attention. Mommy
just needs five minutes to go make her breakfast and
then I'll come back and play with you. Does that
sound good? Yes, she's an angel. She loves me, she
gives me cuddles, she responds directly to my energy, and
money is just energy. So it's like, how are you being?
(17:26):
How are you being with how are you responding what
sort of attachment styles you have with money? That's honestly
the first place. And with me, that was such a
big shift where I stopped being avoidant with money and
I actually started being like, Okay, I need to look
at this. So then I kind of went the opposite
with money, and I started to get super attached. I
(17:48):
was like almost checking my bank account every single day.
Also at this stage, I started to do brand partnerships
on Instagram. So not only did I have my income from,
you know, my job, but I also, you know, was
getting like fifty dollars from a brand to post something
on Instagram or something like that, or I got Philly
commission here and there. Yes, but I did notice I
(18:09):
started to get quite attached and I would check it
all the time. And I also was starting to become
It's almost like I remembered my childhood and I remembered
mom and dad, and I was like, oh, yeah, well
i can have more money, but I've got to save
heaps and I've got to be very frugal. So I
then almost went the opposite end, because before I honestly
was just like spending all my money. I couldn't spend enough.
(18:32):
And then I went to the opposite side. And this
was during you need my law degree, and I was
so frugal where it's like I would never buy anything out,
I would never buy coffee, I would never buy food.
I prepared everything. This was also during my disordered eating,
so I very much masked it as well. I want
to know it's in my food. But I was super
like prepared everything myself. And even like I remember like
(18:53):
going out clubbing and if you had to pay twenty
dollars for cover, like I'm like, I'm not fucking going there.
What a waste of money or like you know a
friend would pay or like something like that, like very
frugal with money, which I had to be, like I
was a unique student, but it was the opposite end
of the scale. Yeah, And so that continued, and I
feel like even me picking law came from the beliefs
(19:17):
of like, well, I have to go out and get
a corporate job because I know that safety with money
and you want a high earning one. Yes, because I
saw not my parents struggle, but I just was like
I want to have more freedom with money. Yeah, And
even like I remember this belief from my dad where
he literally his friend's son did an arts degree because
he wanted to be an artist. And also I was
(19:38):
quite creative when I was younger, and then I remember
him saying, like arts degree, what a waste of money,
Like I'd never allow you to do that, Georgia. And
that's actually in my teens, I like turned off my creativity.
I actually turned it off, and I didn't get back
into my creativity until I started Naked Harvest and RNC,
which is so interesting. I went full like a logical brain. Yeah,
(20:00):
because that's what I thought you had to do to
make money. So see how all these beliefs around what
I thought I had to do to make money I
picked up from my childhood. You actually pick up your
beliefs from when you're one to seven because this is
when you're constantly in a theta brain wave state, so
you're susceptible and you pick up all your beliefs. But
(20:20):
what's crazy is then your subconscious is making ninety five
percent of your decisions based on that, based on your childhood.
So we're all going around like little seven year olds
making financial decisions, which is why it is so important
to rewire your money mindset and reprogram those subconscious beliefs
(20:43):
because they're not serving you. You're literally like seven. So
then at that moment again swinging from overspending to underspending,
that's when I started to get into self development and
I started to get into manifesting, and I started like
reading all the book and that's really when my life changed.
(21:03):
It's when I found law of attraction. It's when I
started implementing these things. You know, I started working with
money and really understanding that it was an energy and
really understanding that all my beliefs around money is what
then was able to form my reality around money, if
that makes sense. So that's when I started getting into
money work. And it's crazy because I honestly noticed an
(21:28):
instant change when I started doing money work. Like I
noticed that I started attracting, you know, a higher calibra
of brands to work with that who would pay me
more on a consistent basis. I got a promotion in
my you know, law job, and like all these different things.
Is when I started to actually understand that there's more
(21:49):
to money than money is just this like physical you
know thing in life. It's like, no money amplifies who
you are, so if you're not working on who you
are and how you be with money and just bringing
something in quickly. Why I think money work is so
important is there's I know we've said this stat before
(22:09):
about how seventy percent of lotto winners not only lose
their lot of earnings, but they go bankrupt. And I
truly believe that's because they don't have the money mindset
and the energetic capacity to hold that amount of money.
Because what I've noticed is when I started seeing money
(22:30):
is energy and I started to stretch my capacity of
holding money, that is when I was able to attract
more money in, but not just attract more money in,
but actually hold it and leverage it to create wealth.
So this is what's really really key important with money
work is you need to do the mindset work first
(22:51):
and then the reality follows. Yeah. So just like the
lot of earners, I'm sure everyone wishes they get they
got handed millions of dollars. Yeah, but if you don't
have the mindset to hold millions of dollars, you'll not
only probably won't be able to attract it, but you'll
lose it. You'll find ways to make bad financial decisions
(23:12):
because there's not actually there's no actual secrets to wealth. Yeah,
like wealth, I would say, is you using your money
leveraging it to compound to make more money? Yeah, Like
it's actually quite simple, And I feel like, go see
a financial advisor. They have great advice. Obviously I'm not
going to give you financial advice. I have a financial advisor,
(23:33):
but you need to be able to hold that money first,
and you need the mindset and the energetic capacity first.
Whereas a lot of people think that issue is I
just need more money, But it's like no, because at
the moment, if I asked you, you know, are you
anxious about money? Are you stressed about money? Do you
feel like you never have enough? Do you feel like
(23:56):
it always goes all those questions If you answer yes
to them, it doesn't matter how much money comes in,
you will always feel that way unless you do money work.
So and that's even like you literally hear about you know,
really wealthy, successful people who are still so frugal, who
(24:17):
don't spend their money, who would like you know, tied
asses for lack of a better word. And that's why
I think, like for me, money means freedom, It means
abundance to make decisions. Like in business, it means I
can make a business decision that's not from money, it's
from heart. Ye. It means in relationships, I don't have
to pick money earning money over spending time with my daughter.
(24:41):
It means like I don't have to pick not going
on an experience or have an amazing experience or having
a material item I want because of money. That's what
abundance means to me. And a lot of people think, oh,
you just either have money or you don't have money.
That's not really it, because there's a lot of people
who have a lot of money who aren't happy, and
(25:01):
it's because they haven't done the inner work first. And
that's the thing is, that's why it always is the
inner work. It's the mindset, it's the energetic work. And
you get to a point where the amount of money
that you have now you're grateful for it, you're secure
in your relationship and attachment for it, and you also
know how to be with it. You know how to
(25:22):
spend it, you know how to feel okay with it.
If you can feel like that, now, that is the recipe,
that is the formula that it will be so easy
for you to attract in more wealth with that wealth,
you have to compound it and leverage to make more
wealth because you are so solid and secure in yourself.
(25:45):
Most people, you know, they might have a success in
business and they have a large you know, bit of
money come in, but then they have large bills come in. Yeah,
and that's like me and Cooper, you know how the
stat of like you know, every startup business, you don't
ever take money from it for like the first two years. Yeah,
me and Cooper literally from I think it was like
(26:07):
three to six months, we started to take a wage
from Naked Harvest and it was viable to do that
and we have never stopped. We have always benefited from
our business, but then also had money to put back
in it. But it's because of our energetic capacities with money,
if that makes sense. So again, that's your belief system,
that's your money story. So the whole point of this
(26:29):
episode is for you guys to think of what is
your money story. I guarantee you've got funky beliefs from
your childhood, from your parents, And what we don't realize
is how much this is shaping our day to day now.
And if you have financial issues with maybe you can't
attract money in or maybe you know you have a
(26:52):
great wage but you always overspend. Or maybe you have
a great wage, but you actually always like you don't spend.
You don't feel like you like you have a great wage,
but you never feel like you have enough money. It's
like logically you actually do yeah, but you don't feel secure.
Like it's an inner feeling and it's in a work.
That's how you know you need to do money work
(27:15):
and money doesn't. You know, money doesn't create happiness, but
also money does because if you think about it, like
from the perspective of if you're at the moment, is
if money is a reason why you can't spend time
with your kids, or your partner, or your friends or
your family, if it's the reason that you have to
(27:36):
make like decisions you know in your business that you're
led by money, If it's the reason why you can't
have the things, the experiences and material things that give
you pleasure. Because as humans, we are pleasure animals, like
we are pleasure seekers, it is our birthright to have pleasure,
(27:56):
to have experiences. Just because someone else's idea of pleasure
and abundance might be a g wagon and a designer bag,
your idea of abundance might be living on a farm,
living off the land. Both take money. Yeah, money is
a neutral resource. It doesn't actually matter. And again it's
(28:17):
like it does create happiness because for you spending time
with your family, well you need like you need money
to live, You need money to sleep and eat and
provide for them. So it's like if you then have
that and then you also get to spend time with
your family, that is happiness.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
And I think this reminds me of that conversation card
question from I think it's our beige deck of Do
you think everyone's underlying desire leads to happiness and freedom
or like everyone's definition of success comes down to like fulfillment, freedom, happiness,
And I agree, but I agree with you in the
sense of like money just makes that so much easier,
(28:56):
and you don't need to have millions of dollars. No,
hundreds of thousands might be enough, tens of thousands might
be enough. It'll be different for everyone depending on what
makes you fulfilled. Yes, but you still need some of it.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
And that's the thing is if you're listening to it
and you think what I just said about having a
ge wagon and a designer bad is bad compared to
your idea of like being on a beautiful farm and
eating organic food from the land. You have funky money beliefs,
and that would be stopping you from not only attracting wealth,
(29:30):
but holding wealth and leveraging it so you can live
on the farm financially free. Because that's the thing is
money buys happiness and money buys freedom. And I truly
believe those two things are our birthrights. We get to
have happiness, we get to have freedom, and that's just
like we live in a world where that's what we
(29:50):
have to do. That's what we have to do to
be And I think some people it's hard hearing that,
and it could be controversial to say that. But when
you can can accept that and not see anything wrong
with it, and you can actually be like, yeah, of
course that makes sense, And I'm gonna work on my
relationship with money. It's just an energy like anything else
(30:12):
in my life that I get to work on. That's
when the freedom comes in, Like, that's when the abundance,
that's when the happiness and everything like that. It's just
like any other relationship in your life. Like if you're
having issues in your marriage, you seek help for it.
You do work on it. You work on your inner stuff,
They work on the inner stuff. You come together. Money
is no different. It's an energy. I went on a
(30:33):
big tangent there. So as my money story has progressed,
as you can tell, at each level of for instance,
in the last you know, three or four years, me
and Tim have bought our second house, we bought an airbnb,
and then we also bought the house we are in now,
(30:54):
And each level required a different set of belief, an
energetic capacity with wealth. I had to do work in
each of those purchases, and you know, buying that and
being the person who holds that amount of wealth because
at the moment now, like property wise, we would own
(31:17):
over ten million dollars of property and obviously there's a
lot of mortgages attached to that, a lot that's not
outright or anything like that. I don't want to think
about here, but imagine the energetic capacity that that takes.
If you tried to give that to Georgie when she
was twenty three, she would crumble. She wouldn't be able
(31:38):
to hold it, she wouldn't be able to sustain it.
It just wouldn't work. Yeah, So it's like and again,
that didn't happen, happen overnight. I wasn't just given things.
I was able to work my way up and at
each level create the mindset, beliefs, and energetic capacity to
hold that wealth. And that's what people don't understand. They
(32:00):
just think, oh, I just need more money and life
would be perfect. Yeah, it's not how it works. And
when you start understanding how money works, that's when you
hack the system. That's the secret.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I feel like I'm at my first like big money
recalibration right now.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
T T bought a house.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Tit's buying Tit's buying a house comes to.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Really stressful, guys.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
It is, though, but like it's energetic capacity, so much
energetic capacity. And I can't tell you how much belief
shit has come up that I've had to clear before this,
like from first setting the intention of it happening and
then like oh wild, hey, it's insane, So just get ready, guys.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Like if when you read the new levels, what's amazing
is T T And this is something I want you
to really lock into. Most people are able, you know,
to buy their first house because they think about the
mindset that energetics like they don't know this is what
they're doing, but they think about the mindset and energetics
to get that house. But what you need to be doing,
(33:06):
even in this moment is you need to be thinking, Okay,
the mindset, beliefs and energetic I don't need the mindset
and energetics and beliefs of someone buying this house. What
are the mindset, energetic and beliefs of someone who always
buys houses? Do you see? How do you see how
that's different? Ye? Most people in their head, they're like, okay,
(33:28):
this is my property. It's this amount I once I
have to hold X amount of dollars a week. Yes,
and then once I you know, once it's you know,
settled and whatnot, then I can start, you know, spending
more money here or there. Or they see it as temporary.
But it's like who do you Because wealth it's a
long life thing. It's a compounding thing. So what you
(33:50):
could be doing now to stretch your capacity is being like, well,
what are the beliefs and the mindset of I do
this every year? Like even if you're not going to
do you see the difference? Yeah, And again these are
little wealth hacks that I have done over the years,
(34:11):
which I'm going to share with you in our brand
new course which I can't wait to do. This will
be honestly amazing for you. Yeah, right now. But do
you see how even that's the tiniest mindset change and
how different that could change someone's life.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah, it's like, well, who's navigating the situation?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Who is that person who buys one property? Or are
you a person who always invests in property? Because if
you're someone who always invests in property, you're making different
decisions than someone who just invests in one property. So true,
and you have different beliefs, you have a different mindset.
But do you see everyone wants this reality, but they
are not willing to do the work to be in
(34:49):
the mindset to have that reality. But it's the mindset
that comes first, and then you get the reality. But
then people are like, oh, but once I have the money,
then i'll feel secure. No, you have to feel secure
now and then the money comes. Yeah, but everyone's trying
to do it like the whack way around, and I'm like, no,
(35:09):
do this way because and what's really great is it
gets easier if you would have told me that. You know,
at age twenty nine, I have over ten million dollars
worth of property that I have to sustain, the mortgages
I have to, you know, deal with all those sorts
of things. If you would have told me at age
(35:29):
twenty nine, I would have been like, how, I don't understand.
But again, it's something I've built over time. It's something
I have invested into my personal development, into my mindset.
It's something I built. It wasn't It didn't just arrive,
if that makes sense. So for me, it makes sense
(35:51):
how much what wealth I hold because of the work
I've done. Yeah, Whereas a lot of people are like, oh,
well the wealth will come and then I'll deal with
it kind of similar to what you're dealing with now.
Do you see how you're dealing with it because the
problems are coming up now. But what's really amazing t
T is now that you've gone through this process, you
(36:12):
know the problems that are going to come up. You
have some idea and that's why we do just have
to dip our toe and just like figure it all out.
But now you have an edge, you have an advantage
because you have more knowing of what possibly could come
up next time.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Yeah, or like making sure to put systems in place
that it doesn't exactly.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
That's what's that's the difference. Yeah, and that's what a
lot of people like they don't think of. And that's
why even at my level now, I still do money work.
I still go through my beliefs, like the energetic capacity
that I'm holding my body now of like the wealth
that I want to create is quite wild, and it
feels like a stretch. It feels like, oh my god,
(36:54):
like who am I to have this amount of money,
to hold this amount of money, to leverage this amount
of money. So if you have that feeling, that's amazing.
It means you need to do the work. Whereas, for example,
the amount of wealth I hold right now with what
I said of like you know, ten million dollars of property, cars, holidays,
all those sorts of things, I've normalized it in my
body where I'm like, yeah, of course, of course I
(37:15):
have those things. I've normalized it, and I feel so
secure in those things. That's so cool, thank you. I know,
like I wish I could go back to my younger self,
who was like you know, struggling to pay rent and
like could never get ahead with money, and just like
really the most, like I was either overspending or so frugal,
(37:38):
and I never felt safe with money. So I wish
I could go back to her and be like, here, darling,
it's okay. Here, there's a better way. And that's why
we created this course because I'm like, there is a
better way of doing this, And that's why I just
feel so passionate about it, because I'm like, they should
teach you this in school, like everyone should know this.
Everyone deserves an abundance of freedom and happiness, which money
(38:03):
does create. Again, like you said, it's not about having
millions and millions of dollars. It's about having enough so
you will first of all feeling secure in yourself and
so grateful for what you have, and then attracting in
enough and holding enough so your life isn't ruled by money.
You make the decisions the money doesn't. And that's what
(38:25):
abundance is to me. I love that. Yes, anyway, she
got very passionate. Then all right, well I hope you
loved this. Bye. Thank you so much for listening to

(01:13):
and welcome back to the RNC potty. Today. I'm actually
getting super raw and real and I'm chatting to about
my money story. So I'm going back to the very beginning.
I'm chatting about my childhood, you know, high school, when
I was a law grad all the way up till now,
(01:37):
and I wanted to share this with you so you
could really see the transformation. And I feel like sometimes
when people do talk about money, and it's very quick
to say, oh, well, you know, it's easy for you.
Look you know, look what you have now, Look who
you are now. And so I really wanted to share
the raw and real beginning and also just take you
(02:00):
back through because I feel like knowing where I came
from and a lot of my beginning money beliefs will
make sense with my life now you could put it
all together. And so this has really come because if
you didn't see the announcement, we are launching the Abundance
(02:20):
Academy next week. This is a thirty day transformation to
really create the foundation and grow your money mindset and
learn about money energetics. This has been work that I
have been doing for years and years and years that
have has absolutely changed my life. And so I actually
(02:45):
created the bones of this course a couple of years
ago and I have just been like adding to it,
perfecting it. I remember a couple of years ago, I
like fully did an outline. I spoke to Jamie about it,
and it just didn't feel right, felt like there was
just like more to add, more to learn, And I
had the calling this year to put out this course
(03:08):
because I really have realized how transformational it has been
for me in my life and how I make a
lot of my decisions in business, in family, in everything.
And I really feel like it's this base thing that
everyone should have, should learn about, should know. And it's
(03:28):
so interesting because since really perfecting this course and you know,
doing a lot of testing with it, I've been speaking
to a lot of people, like even families and family
and friends, and I was chadding to my cousin yesterday
and it's so interesting to me that this isn't spoken
about and this isn't done, and it's kind of like,
(03:50):
you know, everyone wants more money, they want more wealth
and more abundance, and it's so interesting that when I'm like, well,
have you done the mindset founding? You know, have you
learned about the energetics, And the same answer is always no.
So I'm so excited to bring this to you guys.
We have been working on it. We've also been making
(04:10):
sure that this is a course that is doable and implementable.
I'm not sure if that's a word. But that's the
reason why it's thirty days, because it is an audio
training plus a workbook, plus meditations, plus EFT tapping, plus
you know, subconscious reprogramming training videos. But it is something
(04:31):
dropping every single day for thirty days, so it's doable.
It's short, sharp, every single day, but you're going to
get so much out of it. And also because this
is the very first live round, we are doing an
insane early bird are pricing for this live round only,
so the cut will open, there will be a limited
(04:53):
amount of stops and then spots, sorry, and then it
will close. And because this you know, is the first
time launch, we do have an early bird price, which, yeah,
it's it's a bit insane, but as you guys know,
with the project, we have hundreds of like testimonies and
people who have done the course and you know, so
we totally understand that this is brand new and you
(05:14):
might be apprehensive. So we've made it a no brainer
for those who feel called for this first live round.
So all the details are on social media. I do
a chat chat a little bit about it in this episode,
but this episode is just mostly you know, my background
on my money story and We will put some details
in the show notes if you want to check that out.
(05:37):
But before we get into the episode tear, should we
do some weekly recommendations?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yes, I have won be Inspired Unemployed TV show season
tours out.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Oh that's my recommendations.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It's a good laugh. I loved their first one. Yeah,
have you watched it the second?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah? I've watched most of it? Is that funny? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I love that? Well. I actually watched a really funny
movie last night on Netflix, and I haven't watched anything
on Netflix in such a long time apart from like
Bridgeton and.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
It was The Blockers. Have you heard of it? I have.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
It's just a very very funny, lighthearted, lighthearted.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
You don't need any brain capacity. And I was just
like I watched it on my phone in bed and
Tim's like, what are you laughing at?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I was just like laughing to myself and I was like, Wow,
I needed this. So that was that was a vibe.
Were some little lighthearted recks for you?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
All right, Well let's get into this deeper episode.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
So my money story, So I feel like my money story, well,
everyone's money story really starts from their parents and probably
their parents and then their parents and their parents and
basically so my parents they their parents randomly both came
from England, like not together, they didn't know each other,
(07:03):
but both families came on the boat from England when
England was doing they did this whole campaign basically where
they said, if you moved to Australia, we'll pay you,
so not only will you get a free boat over there,
but will give you some money. And both of my parents'
parents were you know, quite poor, came from poor parts
(07:24):
of England and were like a new life, a new beginning.
So they moved over from Australia on the boat. I've
got some really cute videos not video, sorry, photos that
my mom sent me of like, yeah, them on the
boat in a cute little outfits. My mom's family she
has five sisters. Wow, so big family of gals. Wait,
(07:46):
there's five sisters, all lot. So she's got four sisters sorry.
And then my dad's family, he's got two sisters. Wow,
a lot of sisters. And so they both came over.
My granddad was in the navy, and my my on
my mom's side, and my nana didn't work and like
looked after the five girls. And then on my dad's side.
(08:08):
Both his parents worked in a bra factory until they retired,
and so, you know, they both grew up in Woodridge,
Logan area, which back then was like a bit of
a lower socioeconomic area. Not anymore, no, shed him.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
A far.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, so this is obviously like sixty years ago. So
my parents grew up there and they actually went to
the same high school, but didn't meet until they were
both in the higher grade. And so they got together
when they were sixteen, married when they were nineteen. Mum
had Josh when she was like twenty one or twenty two,
and then she w I know, so she actually she
(08:52):
went to tathe was ducks of her college, so smartest
in her tape. She was going to do work in
the courts and then she had so she stopped working
and then she went on to have three more kids.
So they had all four kids before they were thirty. Yeah,
like my age, you got four kids, just had me.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I know, guys, my jaw is on the floor, but
that can't imagine it.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, wow, so you can imagine being that young having
four kids. My dad was a qualified plumber and he
always worked for someone else up until he was thirty
because it was like, you know, safest option. So they
and we lived on a farm, so farm life. We
had goats, we drunk the goat's milk, we had chickens
(09:37):
and had the eggs, and you know, very like wholesome beginnings.
And then I remember when I was about three, we
moved into a suburban house that mom and dad built themselves,
which was like a huge moment for us. So as
mom and dad got over and Dad started his own
plumbing business, which he you know, scaled and grew, we
started becoming more well off. So you know, I think,
(09:59):
to buy your own house, that's quite well off. You know,
even back then it was like two hundred grand. Could
you imagine buying a four bedroom house on I think
it's like half of an acre. Our house is on
for like two hundred and fifty grand. I'd buy it
out right.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I own the whole thing. I don't the whole thing,
don't need a mortgage, I know, could you imagine, Oh
oh my god, I know, but back then there was
so much money that yeah was obviously, Oh god, I
know how times it changed. Anyway, back to the story,
So I grew up quite at the end, Like when
(10:39):
I was eighteen. My parents had like made it where,
you know, they were quite well off compared to when
they grew up, but because of how my parents grew
up with their parents.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
It was very frugal. It was very like my parents'
favorite saying was like look after your pennies and the
dollars will follow, you know, just the stuff Like before
I went to school, it was like turn off all
the lights and turn off the fan, don't waste energy.
You know, we weren't allowed the air coorn on. You know,
just those sorts of things like very let's save money.
(11:12):
Me and mom always shopped in like Best and Less
and even like Target was quite bougie. Yeah, Target was
like oh special occasion and like I even have this
funny story like my cousins were from Melbourne and their Arnie,
My Arnie used to shop at like Country Road and stuff,
and my parents my mom was like, that's ridiculous spending
(11:34):
that much money on like a plane T shirt. But
it was almost looked like frowned upon and looked down on,
like oh stupid, Yeah, you're stupid. Why would you do
that with your money? Yes, be smart with your money.
So like my parents believe it's like you can have money,
but you have to make really smart decisions, be really frugal.
I even remember like cutting up the coupons to go
(11:57):
get like DVDs and like hungry Jacks and pizzas and stuff,
like I loved going through the coupon books and being like, Mom,
can we fucking get pizza on Saturday night? It was
very special. And especially having four kids, I remember like
not that there wouldn't be enough food, but especially having
three brothers, like all the food would be eaten, so
I would have to like fight for food, yeah, and
(12:18):
be like I remember this. You could have three chickens
on the table and it's still yeah, pretty much. And
I remember like Cooper once during dinner he had to
go to the toilet like go door pool or something,
and he gave Mom his plate and said, can you
hold this because I know someone else will eat it?
And he was scared of someone else eating his dinner,
(12:40):
Like this is why I'm not even joking it. Yeah.
So I don't know if that's just like having a
brother's thing or but it was like yes, and so
it's like I just remember that. So me growing up
very frugal. You know, you save your dollars. You can
have money, but you have to work really, really hard.
So my dad were every single day, even on Saturday's
(13:02):
tool about like one pm. And then on Sundays him
and my mom used to do the invoicing, so they'd
be in the office typing out invoices, sending invoices, and
then my mum also did that during the week. So
they were an incredible team. They did incredibly well for themselves.
I'm so proud of them, but it definitely built some
interesting money beliefs. So then in my early twenties, I
(13:25):
just noticed no matter what I did, I could not
get ahead. So I moved out of home quite early
when I was nineteen. But I did live with Tim,
which I definitely feel like it's different when you live
with a boyfriend, because he was kind of, you know,
if I couldn't cover rent that week, he could help
me out and I'd always pay him back, but it
(13:47):
had leniency. I had a bit of a security blanket
with Tim, so I was quite you know, privileged in
that way. But I just remember being younger and even
working full time, so getting about six hundred a week,
but I just still could never have enough money for bills,
never kind of get my shit together with the money.
And I remember a key moment where I got, like
(14:10):
red Joe, a speeding fine and a parking ticket in
one week and it was like over fifteen hundred dollars
or I don't know, something like that and just like
crying because I could not cover these things and I
knew it would take me weeks and weeks to saber.
And I remembered him saying to me, Georgia, you you
know you earn six hundred dollars a week, like kind
(14:31):
of get your shit together a bit, like you can
cover this, You just have to fucking get your shit together,
and having a big bit of a like reality come
to reality moment. And that was when I was almost
sick of being in victim mentality with money and always
not like not having enough. And I really noticed that
was like a shift in my money story because from then,
(14:54):
I actually and I before then too, I was a
bit ignorant where I didn't like looking at my bank
account because it like you just stress me out, and
I was like very avoidant with money. And then that's
when things kind of shifted and I started being like,
all right, I do need to kind of like treat
money better and treat my money situation better. And even
it's funny because they didn't have language for that, but
(15:15):
now I can see I had a direct shift in
how I was with money in regards to it being
a relationship, because what I believe is you're in relationship
with money. So just like, for example, if you have
a best friend or a boyfriend, imagine in that relationship,
if you avoided them, you never looked them in the eye,
(15:37):
you never wanted to know about their problems, you never
made time for them, you never put them in your calendar,
you know, imagine that relationship. Would that person want to
be with you? No? No, they'd be like it was
so avoidant, Like I got, I can't have a healthy
functioning relationship with you. And a lot of people are
(15:58):
going around with a bad relationship with money and then
wondering why they don't have money, why they can't hold money,
why they always like lose money, and that sort of thing,
And the first place to really look is like, well,
how are you being with money? Are you being avoidant?
Are you being attached where you can't spend any money
because you feel like it will never come back, Like
(16:20):
imagine that relationship where your partner doesn't let you leave ever. Yeah,
watching you twenty four to seven your phone, Yeah, you
would be like ill, no, I'm out. This is toxic.
So even I think the first place to start is
being like how you actually being with money? Because money
is an energy, It's responding to your energy. Even a
great way to think about this is, for example, you know,
(16:42):
I have a two year old, and toddler's are so
responsive to energy. If I come downstairs and I am avoidant,
if I don't give iv eye contacts, if I don't
give her time, if I'm grouchy, if I'm on my phone,
if I'm ignoring her, I notice she will be quite
difficult to deal with. Yeah, compared to if I go
(17:03):
downstairs direct eye contact. How are you, Ivy? I love
you so much, Ivy. I'm like giving her attention. Mommy
just needs five minutes to go make her breakfast and
then I'll come back and play with you. Does that
sound good? Yes, she's an angel. She loves me, she
gives me cuddles, she responds directly to my energy, and
money is just energy. So it's like, how are you being?
(17:26):
How are you being with how are you responding what
sort of attachment styles you have with money? That's honestly
the first place. And with me, that was such a
big shift where I stopped being avoidant with money and
I actually started being like, Okay, I need to look
at this. So then I kind of went the opposite
with money, and I started to get super attached. I
(17:48):
was like almost checking my bank account every single day.
Also at this stage, I started to do brand partnerships
on Instagram. So not only did I have my income from,
you know, my job, but I also, you know, was
getting like fifty dollars from a brand to post something
on Instagram or something like that, or I got Philly
commission here and there. Yes, but I did notice I
(18:09):
started to get quite attached and I would check it
all the time. And I also was starting to become
It's almost like I remembered my childhood and I remembered
mom and dad, and I was like, oh, yeah, well
i can have more money, but I've got to save
heaps and I've got to be very frugal. So I
then almost went the opposite end, because before I honestly
was just like spending all my money. I couldn't spend enough.
(18:32):
And then I went to the opposite side. And this
was during you need my law degree, and I was
so frugal where it's like I would never buy anything out,
I would never buy coffee, I would never buy food.
I prepared everything. This was also during my disordered eating,
so I very much masked it as well. I want
to know it's in my food. But I was super
like prepared everything myself. And even like I remember like
(18:53):
going out clubbing and if you had to pay twenty
dollars for cover, like I'm like, I'm not fucking going there.
What a waste of money or like you know a
friend would pay or like something like that, like very
frugal with money, which I had to be, like I
was a unique student, but it was the opposite end
of the scale. Yeah, And so that continued, and I
feel like even me picking law came from the beliefs
(19:17):
of like, well, I have to go out and get
a corporate job because I know that safety with money
and you want a high earning one. Yes, because I
saw not my parents struggle, but I just was like
I want to have more freedom with money. Yeah, And
even like I remember this belief from my dad where
he literally his friend's son did an arts degree because
he wanted to be an artist. And also I was
(19:38):
quite creative when I was younger, and then I remember
him saying, like arts degree, what a waste of money,
Like I'd never allow you to do that, Georgia. And
that's actually in my teens, I like turned off my creativity.
I actually turned it off, and I didn't get back
into my creativity until I started Naked Harvest and RNC,
which is so interesting. I went full like a logical brain. Yeah,
(20:00):
because that's what I thought you had to do to
make money. So see how all these beliefs around what
I thought I had to do to make money I
picked up from my childhood. You actually pick up your
beliefs from when you're one to seven because this is
when you're constantly in a theta brain wave state, so
you're susceptible and you pick up all your beliefs. But
(20:20):
what's crazy is then your subconscious is making ninety five
percent of your decisions based on that, based on your childhood.
So we're all going around like little seven year olds
making financial decisions, which is why it is so important
to rewire your money mindset and reprogram those subconscious beliefs
(20:43):
because they're not serving you. You're literally like seven. So
then at that moment again swinging from overspending to underspending,
that's when I started to get into self development and
I started to get into manifesting, and I started like
reading all the book and that's really when my life changed.
(21:03):
It's when I found law of attraction. It's when I
started implementing these things. You know, I started working with
money and really understanding that it was an energy and
really understanding that all my beliefs around money is what
then was able to form my reality around money, if
that makes sense. So that's when I started getting into
money work. And it's crazy because I honestly noticed an
(21:28):
instant change when I started doing money work. Like I
noticed that I started attracting, you know, a higher calibra
of brands to work with that who would pay me
more on a consistent basis. I got a promotion in
my you know, law job, and like all these different things.
Is when I started to actually understand that there's more
(21:49):
to money than money is just this like physical you
know thing in life. It's like, no money amplifies who
you are, so if you're not working on who you
are and how you be with money and just bringing
something in quickly. Why I think money work is so
important is there's I know we've said this stat before
(22:09):
about how seventy percent of lotto winners not only lose
their lot of earnings, but they go bankrupt. And I
truly believe that's because they don't have the money mindset
and the energetic capacity to hold that amount of money.
Because what I've noticed is when I started seeing money
(22:30):
is energy and I started to stretch my capacity of
holding money, that is when I was able to attract
more money in, but not just attract more money in,
but actually hold it and leverage it to create wealth.
So this is what's really really key important with money
work is you need to do the mindset work first
(22:51):
and then the reality follows. Yeah. So just like the
lot of earners, I'm sure everyone wishes they get they
got handed millions of dollars. Yeah, but if you don't
have the mindset to hold millions of dollars, you'll not
only probably won't be able to attract it, but you'll
lose it. You'll find ways to make bad financial decisions
(23:12):
because there's not actually there's no actual secrets to wealth. Yeah,
like wealth, I would say, is you using your money
leveraging it to compound to make more money? Yeah, Like
it's actually quite simple, And I feel like, go see
a financial advisor. They have great advice. Obviously I'm not
going to give you financial advice. I have a financial advisor,
(23:33):
but you need to be able to hold that money first,
and you need the mindset and the energetic capacity first.
Whereas a lot of people think that issue is I
just need more money, But it's like no, because at
the moment, if I asked you, you know, are you
anxious about money? Are you stressed about money? Do you
feel like you never have enough? Do you feel like
(23:56):
it always goes all those questions If you answer yes
to them, it doesn't matter how much money comes in,
you will always feel that way unless you do money work.
So and that's even like you literally hear about you know,
really wealthy, successful people who are still so frugal, who
(24:17):
don't spend their money, who would like you know, tied
asses for lack of a better word. And that's why
I think, like for me, money means freedom, It means
abundance to make decisions. Like in business, it means I
can make a business decision that's not from money, it's
from heart. Ye. It means in relationships, I don't have
to pick money earning money over spending time with my daughter.
(24:41):
It means like I don't have to pick not going
on an experience or have an amazing experience or having
a material item I want because of money. That's what
abundance means to me. And a lot of people think, oh,
you just either have money or you don't have money.
That's not really it, because there's a lot of people
who have a lot of money who aren't happy, and
(25:01):
it's because they haven't done the inner work first. And
that's the thing is, that's why it always is the
inner work. It's the mindset, it's the energetic work. And
you get to a point where the amount of money
that you have now you're grateful for it, you're secure
in your relationship and attachment for it, and you also
know how to be with it. You know how to
(25:22):
spend it, you know how to feel okay with it.
If you can feel like that, now, that is the recipe,
that is the formula that it will be so easy
for you to attract in more wealth with that wealth,
you have to compound it and leverage to make more
wealth because you are so solid and secure in yourself.
(25:45):
Most people, you know, they might have a success in
business and they have a large you know, bit of
money come in, but then they have large bills come in. Yeah,
and that's like me and Cooper, you know how the
stat of like you know, every startup business, you don't
ever take money from it for like the first two years. Yeah,
me and Cooper literally from I think it was like
(26:07):
three to six months, we started to take a wage
from Naked Harvest and it was viable to do that
and we have never stopped. We have always benefited from
our business, but then also had money to put back
in it. But it's because of our energetic capacities with money,
if that makes sense. So again, that's your belief system,
that's your money story. So the whole point of this
(26:29):
episode is for you guys to think of what is
your money story. I guarantee you've got funky beliefs from
your childhood, from your parents, And what we don't realize
is how much this is shaping our day to day now.
And if you have financial issues with maybe you can't
attract money in or maybe you know you have a
(26:52):
great wage but you always overspend. Or maybe you have
a great wage, but you actually always like you don't spend.
You don't feel like you like you have a great wage,
but you never feel like you have enough money. It's
like logically you actually do yeah, but you don't feel secure.
Like it's an inner feeling and it's in a work.
That's how you know you need to do money work
(27:15):
and money doesn't. You know, money doesn't create happiness, but
also money does because if you think about it, like
from the perspective of if you're at the moment, is
if money is a reason why you can't spend time
with your kids, or your partner, or your friends or
your family, if it's the reason that you have to
(27:36):
make like decisions you know in your business that you're
led by money, If it's the reason why you can't
have the things, the experiences and material things that give
you pleasure. Because as humans, we are pleasure animals, like
we are pleasure seekers, it is our birthright to have pleasure,
(27:56):
to have experiences. Just because someone else's idea of pleasure
and abundance might be a g wagon and a designer bag,
your idea of abundance might be living on a farm,
living off the land. Both take money. Yeah, money is
a neutral resource. It doesn't actually matter. And again it's
(28:17):
like it does create happiness because for you spending time
with your family, well you need like you need money
to live, You need money to sleep and eat and
provide for them. So it's like if you then have
that and then you also get to spend time with
your family, that is happiness.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
And I think this reminds me of that conversation card
question from I think it's our beige deck of Do
you think everyone's underlying desire leads to happiness and freedom
or like everyone's definition of success comes down to like fulfillment, freedom, happiness,
And I agree, but I agree with you in the
sense of like money just makes that so much easier,
(28:56):
and you don't need to have millions of dollars. No,
hundreds of thousands might be enough, tens of thousands might
be enough. It'll be different for everyone depending on what
makes you fulfilled. Yes, but you still need some of it.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
And that's the thing is if you're listening to it
and you think what I just said about having a
ge wagon and a designer bad is bad compared to
your idea of like being on a beautiful farm and
eating organic food from the land. You have funky money beliefs,
and that would be stopping you from not only attracting wealth,
(29:30):
but holding wealth and leveraging it so you can live
on the farm financially free. Because that's the thing is
money buys happiness and money buys freedom. And I truly
believe those two things are our birthrights. We get to
have happiness, we get to have freedom, and that's just
like we live in a world where that's what we
(29:50):
have to do. That's what we have to do to
be And I think some people it's hard hearing that,
and it could be controversial to say that. But when
you can can accept that and not see anything wrong
with it, and you can actually be like, yeah, of
course that makes sense, And I'm gonna work on my
relationship with money. It's just an energy like anything else
(30:12):
in my life that I get to work on. That's
when the freedom comes in, Like, that's when the abundance,
that's when the happiness and everything like that. It's just
like any other relationship in your life. Like if you're
having issues in your marriage, you seek help for it.
You do work on it. You work on your inner stuff,
They work on the inner stuff. You come together. Money
is no different. It's an energy. I went on a
(30:33):
big tangent there. So as my money story has progressed,
as you can tell, at each level of for instance,
in the last you know, three or four years, me
and Tim have bought our second house, we bought an airbnb,
and then we also bought the house we are in now,
(30:54):
And each level required a different set of belief, an
energetic capacity with wealth. I had to do work in
each of those purchases, and you know, buying that and
being the person who holds that amount of wealth because
at the moment now, like property wise, we would own
(31:17):
over ten million dollars of property and obviously there's a
lot of mortgages attached to that, a lot that's not
outright or anything like that. I don't want to think
about here, but imagine the energetic capacity that that takes.
If you tried to give that to Georgie when she
was twenty three, she would crumble. She wouldn't be able
(31:38):
to hold it, she wouldn't be able to sustain it.
It just wouldn't work. Yeah, So it's like and again,
that didn't happen, happen overnight. I wasn't just given things.
I was able to work my way up and at
each level create the mindset, beliefs, and energetic capacity to
hold that wealth. And that's what people don't understand. They
(32:00):
just think, oh, I just need more money and life
would be perfect. Yeah, it's not how it works. And
when you start understanding how money works, that's when you
hack the system. That's the secret.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I feel like I'm at my first like big money
recalibration right now.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
T T bought a house.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Tit's buying Tit's buying a house comes to.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Really stressful, guys.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
It is, though, but like it's energetic capacity, so much
energetic capacity. And I can't tell you how much belief
shit has come up that I've had to clear before this,
like from first setting the intention of it happening and
then like oh wild, hey, it's insane, So just get ready, guys.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Like if when you read the new levels, what's amazing
is T T And this is something I want you
to really lock into. Most people are able, you know,
to buy their first house because they think about the
mindset that energetics like they don't know this is what
they're doing, but they think about the mindset and energetics
to get that house. But what you need to be doing,
(33:06):
even in this moment is you need to be thinking, Okay,
the mindset, beliefs and energetic I don't need the mindset
and energetics and beliefs of someone buying this house. What
are the mindset, energetic and beliefs of someone who always
buys houses? Do you see? How do you see how
that's different? Ye? Most people in their head, they're like, okay,
(33:28):
this is my property. It's this amount I once I
have to hold X amount of dollars a week. Yes,
and then once I you know, once it's you know,
settled and whatnot, then I can start, you know, spending
more money here or there. Or they see it as temporary.
But it's like who do you Because wealth it's a
long life thing. It's a compounding thing. So what you
(33:50):
could be doing now to stretch your capacity is being like, well,
what are the beliefs and the mindset of I do
this every year? Like even if you're not going to
do you see the difference? Yeah, And again these are
little wealth hacks that I have done over the years,
(34:11):
which I'm going to share with you in our brand
new course which I can't wait to do. This will
be honestly amazing for you. Yeah, right now. But do
you see how even that's the tiniest mindset change and
how different that could change someone's life.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah, it's like, well, who's navigating the situation?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Who is that person who buys one property? Or are
you a person who always invests in property? Because if
you're someone who always invests in property, you're making different
decisions than someone who just invests in one property. So true,
and you have different beliefs, you have a different mindset.
But do you see everyone wants this reality, but they
are not willing to do the work to be in
(34:49):
the mindset to have that reality. But it's the mindset
that comes first, and then you get the reality. But
then people are like, oh, but once I have the money,
then i'll feel secure. No, you have to feel secure
now and then the money comes. Yeah, but everyone's trying
to do it like the whack way around, and I'm like, no,
(35:09):
do this way because and what's really great is it
gets easier if you would have told me that. You know,
at age twenty nine, I have over ten million dollars
worth of property that I have to sustain, the mortgages
I have to, you know, deal with all those sorts
of things. If you would have told me at age
(35:29):
twenty nine, I would have been like, how, I don't understand.
But again, it's something I've built over time. It's something
I have invested into my personal development, into my mindset.
It's something I built. It wasn't It didn't just arrive,
if that makes sense. So for me, it makes sense
(35:51):
how much what wealth I hold because of the work
I've done. Yeah, Whereas a lot of people are like, oh,
well the wealth will come and then I'll deal with
it kind of similar to what you're dealing with now.
Do you see how you're dealing with it because the
problems are coming up now. But what's really amazing t
T is now that you've gone through this process, you
(36:12):
know the problems that are going to come up. You
have some idea and that's why we do just have
to dip our toe and just like figure it all out.
But now you have an edge, you have an advantage
because you have more knowing of what possibly could come
up next time.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Yeah, or like making sure to put systems in place
that it doesn't exactly.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
That's what's that's the difference. Yeah, and that's what a
lot of people like they don't think of. And that's
why even at my level now, I still do money work.
I still go through my beliefs, like the energetic capacity
that I'm holding my body now of like the wealth
that I want to create is quite wild, and it
feels like a stretch. It feels like, oh my god,
(36:54):
like who am I to have this amount of money,
to hold this amount of money, to leverage this amount
of money. So if you have that feeling, that's amazing.
It means you need to do the work. Whereas, for example,
the amount of wealth I hold right now with what
I said of like you know, ten million dollars of property, cars, holidays,
all those sorts of things, I've normalized it in my
body where I'm like, yeah, of course, of course I
(37:15):
have those things. I've normalized it, and I feel so
secure in those things. That's so cool, thank you. I know,
like I wish I could go back to my younger self,
who was like you know, struggling to pay rent and
like could never get ahead with money, and just like
really the most, like I was either overspending or so frugal,
(37:38):
and I never felt safe with money. So I wish
I could go back to her and be like, here, darling,
it's okay. Here, there's a better way. And that's why
we created this course because I'm like, there is a
better way of doing this, And that's why I just
feel so passionate about it, because I'm like, they should
teach you this in school, like everyone should know this.
Everyone deserves an abundance of freedom and happiness, which money
(38:03):
does create. Again, like you said, it's not about having
millions and millions of dollars. It's about having enough so
you will first of all feeling secure in yourself and
so grateful for what you have, and then attracting in
enough and holding enough so your life isn't ruled by money.
You make the decisions the money doesn't. And that's what
(38:25):
abundance is to me. I love that. Yes, anyway, she
got very passionate. Then all right, well I hope you
loved this. Bye. Thank you so much for listening to
