Look at the results in your business right
now.
And if you
don't like what you see, perhaps then I
would encourage you to go add and
think about
asking yourself this question,
what beliefs are holding me back from loving
myself fully.
(00:20):
I am Gloria Grace Rand, founder of the
love method and author of the number 1
Amazon best seller, live, love, and engage. How
to stop doubting yourself and start being yourself.
In this podcast, we share practical advice from
a spiritual perspective on how to live fully
love deeply and engage authentically
(00:43):
So you can create a life and business
with more impact,
influence and income.
Welcome to live love engage.
Namaste.
Business success is overrated.
When it comes at the expense of self
love.
(01:03):
If I've peaked your interest stick around because
we're gonna dive into that in just a
moment, but first, I wanna welcome those of
you who are new to live, love engage.
I am gloria Grace, and I help female
entrepreneurs,
attract
more clients with calm,
clarity and confidence by
(01:23):
releasing negative thought patterns like self doubt and
poor self worth.
And at the end of every podcast,
I always encourage listeners to go out and
live fully
love deeply and engage authentically.
And so today, I wanted to
explore why it is important to love ourselves
(01:44):
deeply
to succeed as entrepreneurs.
So a few days ago, I actually asked
my social media followers,
how important self love is to business success
and I was
surprised and pleased at the responses.
So they included things like,
It's involved in all my success, or
(02:06):
self love is key to success in life.
Another 1 said, 10 on a scale of
1 to 10.
And it will be next to impossible to
achieve without it. And what
pleased and surprised me was the fact that
half of the responses
to my pole were from men.
So I guess I have some self aware
men
(02:27):
in my in my file among my followers,
and that was really great to see.
What do we mean by self love though
when it comes
to business. You know, when when it's in
the context of business.
Well, self love means to fully and unconditionally
accept yourself for who you are,
and what you have accomplished so far in
(02:49):
your business.
Now some people,
they think that self love means you're selfish
or narcissistic.
And it's taken too far that way, it
could be seen that way. But when
it's more coming from this real heart centered
loving of yourself as a
(03:09):
spiritual being.
You're able to set boundaries
with family, friends and clients in particular.
And you also are able to demonstrate self
love by prioritizing
self care,
because then when you're getting good rest, you're
eating healthy foods, you're exercising, you're
(03:29):
making time for fun,
you're able to be healthy and that
enables you to run your business with ease.
Now, sometimes also people think that
another myth about self love is that, oh,
well, you're just gonna become lazy and un
creative if you... Slow down and take the
time
(03:50):
to heal yourself to take care of yourself.
But I'm gonna say that instead, taking time
to be still
like through practices, mindfulness practices like meditation,
1 of my favorites
is actually gonna help you to be
more creative, spontaneous
intuitive and inspired,
(04:12):
and those are all essential qualities for a
successful business.
Now you may be listening to this and
thinking, Well, I love myself deeply.
That's great. I you know? I hope you
do.
And I might
invite you to
think about the times perhaps
when you might have been
(04:33):
plagued by impostor syndrome,
doubting yourself, thinking that you're not as good
as someone else in your industry, let's say.
Or maybe
you're
spending time
watching,
binge binging on Netflix, shall we say Instead
of
working on your business, whether that's responding to
(04:54):
emails or or maybe coming up with a
whole new campaign for your business.
So if that's
some of the things that might be going
on in your business right now, then
you probably love yourself yes, but maybe not
as deeply as you thought,
and I'm would like to share another example
of how this might show up in your
(05:15):
business in another way. And I may have
shared this on the podcast in the past.
And I know I definitely wrote about it
in my book, live love engage.
My my older sister, Mi mckay was a
massage Therapist. And
1 1 year at... We're around Christmas time,
she called me up. She lived in Arizona,
(05:35):
and I was in Florida, and she called
me up and said, galore,
1 of my clients wants to give me
a thousand dollar bonus, a holiday bonus, and
I don't know if I can accept it.
Well,
my immediate thought if that was, like, wow,
That is fantastic.
I mean, I would love to someone offered
(05:56):
to give me a thousand dollar bonus I'd
be, like, thank you very much.
So I... Actually you know, was trying to
figure out why she was feeling this way,
but instead of really diving in that way.
I I thought I would go about it
a different way by asking her Well,
why do you think if the client wants
get... Wants to give you that bonus as,
(06:16):
you know, have you been giving her You
know, she been satisfied with your services? Does
she refer you to other people? And my
sister is like, yeah, Yeah. She does. All
those things.
So I said, well,
I think that you
are going to be doing her a disservice.
If you don't accept.
That money.
Because this is how she wants to
(06:39):
show you how much you mean to her.
It's a way of really
letting my sister know that she really loves
her. She appreciates her.
And see, my sister was not
didn't really love herself
enough to value her own worth
in that moment, and that's why she was
doubting whether she should even accept it. So
(07:00):
Long story short, she did accept the money,
and I was very happy that she did
it and I think she was happy as
well.
So let's let's look at it from the
other side. Now when you do love yourself.
When you really do have that. Deep self
love.
Then I believe 1 of the things you're
able to do is you are more willing
(07:21):
to take risk,
to step out of your comfort zone in
your business.
I'll give you an example from from me.
And so when I was writing my books
live love engaged. I was also at the
time giving presentations. Now at the time, I
was still focused more on online marketing because
that was what I had been doing in
my business. And I remember this 1 time,
(07:43):
I was scheduled to... I was attending a
networking event for women
and I was scheduled to talk about Linkedin.
How he's Linkedin in your business,
which I've done many times before talked about.
At the same time, I was writing my
book, and I happened to notice that when
the organizer
of that event was promoting it,
(08:04):
she didn't mention the topic
for me that I was gonna be talking
about Linkedin. So people were coming to this
network event. Knowing that I was gonna be
the speaker, but they didn't know what I
gonna talk about.
And so when I mentioned to this to
my coach, I was working with a coach
at the time,
he encouraged me to
talk about the love method, which I was
(08:25):
writing about in my book.
So I went up to the for promoter
of the, you know, the organizer of the
group when I got there and said, is
it okay? If I... I know you and
I had to that I was gonna talk
about Linkedin, but is it okay if I
talk about my book instead in this this
love method. And she said, sure. Yeah. Talk
So that was the first time I ever
(08:46):
talked about it in public, and I was
nervous
to say the least,
but I did it anyway. And I stepped
out of my comfort zone, and what was
wonderful was that I received positive
reactions from the people there. And so that,
was confirmation for me that I needed to
keep going to keep talking about this to
(09:06):
keep
writing about it, and I eventually did publish
my book.
So I encourage you
to
look at the results in your business right
now. And if you
don't like what you see. Perhaps then I
would encourage you to go ahead and
(09:27):
think about
asking yourself this question,
what beliefs are holding me back from loving
myself fully.
Because it is very possible that there are
some
limiting beliefs that you might be holding onto.
And I'm gonna talk about more of that
in a minute, but I wanna get you
some...
(09:48):
Let's get let's get practical now. Let's let's
talk about the fact that
even if, you know what actually, I'm gonna
say it this way, even if you
feel that you do love yourself.
And you're you're comfortable, but with that,
you could still
enhance that.
Amp up a little bit. You know, oh,
(10:08):
like,
for those of you who have ever seen
the movie spinal tap, you know, they they
talk about ticking it up to 11
instead their speakers.
So let's let's do that. Let's let's amp
up your self love. They practice and and
make it an 11 instead of 1, you
know, instead of 10 out of 10, Let's
make it an 11.
So how can you do that?
1 way is to
(10:31):
engage in something really simple, which is daily
affirmations.
You know, telling yourself, speaking it to yourself,
saying I love you. In fact, 1 of
the ones that, again, I talk about this
in my book, I love the the late
Louise hay was so amazing, and 1 of
the practices she talked about
was this mirror practice.
(10:53):
Where she would look at herself in the
mirror, and she would say Louise, I love
you.
Anytime she was in front of a mirror,
it could even be in her car when
she was looking in the rearview mirror.
So I've... I've encouraged my clients to do
that as well, and and they've told me
it does feel... Funny at first and and
when I started doing it too, it does
feel a little weird, but the more you
(11:15):
do it, the better you feel
about yourself. So I encourage you to to
try that and
and other
affirmations, maybe in fact, I'll
I have
I put together a list of affirmations
that you can actually get from me if
you'd like, And, I'm gonna tell you how
(11:35):
to do that in a little bit
at the end of the show. So you
can you can get this for me for
free. The second
the second way
that you can
sort of amp up your self love practice,
and I mentioned this earlier
is through mindfulness
exercises,
mindful practices.
Like meditation.
(11:55):
Meditation is 1 of my
favorites that I do, I make time for
every morning,
And I vary the times that I spend
doing it. You know, sometimes I can meditate
for an hour. Sometimes I'll meditate for 10
minutes.
Whatever works for you, and I know I've
talked about this on the show before.
Meditation
looks different for everybody. And you have to
(12:17):
figure out the way that works best for
you. It could be just going for a
walk
out in nature. And spending spending time in
the quiet, You know, listen to the birds,
just
be have a do a walking meditation. I've
done I've done 1 of those before too
where you just really
(12:38):
mindful
stepping, You know,
So there's lots of ways that you can
do this to be able
to
just be still to really be still and
and no.
I love that phrase. It's so it's so
powerful.
Another way to practice self love, which I
kinda touched on at the beginning too is
that
(12:58):
you set boundaries for yourself,
and learn to say, no.
No is a complete sentence. I still remember
the first time I heard that,
I they turned out to be 1 of
my first clients actually for my copywriting business
years ago, they were of life coaches.
And I went to this presentation where they
talked about no is a complete sentence.
(13:20):
And we have to...
Say no, sometimes.
Do it kindly
and still
be able to have that confidence to say
I would love to help you out or.
I would love to do this, but I
can't,
right now be, you know, and you can
use it... Whatever reason it is, but but
(13:41):
know that you don't have to ob yourself
to
doing
things for everybody, you know, just because someone
I'm asks you to do it.
If it doesn't work for you, then it
doesn't work for you. And setting boundaries in
your business is so important. I know when
I first... Started my business. I was working
7 days a week,
which
(14:02):
is not
practical, for the long run. It's at the
beginning sure, you you may have to do
that. But eventually,
you need to really come up with...
Good hours and and days of when you're
gonna work because you've gotta be able to
make time for self care. As I mentioned
earlier,
Otherwise, you're gonna burn out,
or you're gonna get sick, and then you're
(14:23):
not gonna be good to you to certainly
yourself, your clients,
your friends, your family, you're not gonna be
good to anybody that way. So you definitely
wanna take care of yourself.
Alright. So we talked about a little bit
about
self love and and and business and And
I think ultimately, what...
Why this is so important,
why it's key to business is that
(14:47):
As I mentioned, when when you love yourself,
you're gonna take care of yourself,
you're gonna be you're gonna show up better
for your clients for your
team members if you if you have a
a staff working for you
because
you on... You're honoring yourself you're honoring your
value, you're understanding it, and
(15:09):
it's it's so important to be able to
do that. And that's what I wanna talk
about in my book,
and I know I've talked about this on
on prior episodes as well that
this is why I'm so passionate about love
method because it is really about helping you
to
let go of some of these limiting beliefs
to be able to
open your heart to receive wisdom and love
(15:32):
and to value you what makes you unique
and and
why you are
the person that your clients need?
And, of course, to embrace your d
and to realize that you are
an amazing spiritual being. So
appreciate yourself and that's... We come right back
(15:52):
to self love again.
1 of the other tools that I've used
to help myself in being able to cultivate
self love to let go of limiting beliefs
to be able to
hone my intuition is through the practice of
light language.
And
if you're not familiar with it,
(16:13):
go to my website,
gloria rand dot com, and I have I
have a whole big page about that, right
right at the top you'll be able to
find it.
And
1... But just to
the the cliff notes version of it it
is a
multi
dimensional
language,
that speaks to your soul. And so I
(16:36):
typically either speak it or I sing it,
and
it is something that you're
left brain won't necessarily understand, but your right
brain will get it because it is more
of a
a message that again, that's gonna resonate
with your soul.
So
when I do this, I
(16:57):
will, I'll, offer my intention is
to
let this be something that's gonna release whatever
is
whatever
limiting beliefs perhaps that you may have about
money that might be holding you back, or
maybe even,
you know, we also carry a lot of
ancestral.
Wounds in our Dna. I mean, that's that's
(17:20):
it's been proven. I mean, they have they
have seen that we are we are carrying
some trauma, I guess, it might be a
better way of saying it in our Dna.
So
again, this is something that light language can
help you with.
So if you are listening to this podcast
or watching it on Youtube somewhere where you're
not watching it on Youtube, You wouldn't be
doing that necessarily. But... If you're operating machinery
(17:42):
if you're driving a car or you're at
the gym or something,
pause this, come back to it later.
This it really is a... It's a very
relaxing.
So my clients have told me is that
it helps them to relax and to let
go of stress. So what Would invite you
to do right now. So I'm gonna share
a little bit of that with you right
now. So I invite you to. You can
close your eyes if you like,
(18:04):
and just
set the intention that the message that you
receive today is gonna be for your soul
highest good.
And for the highest good of all concerned.
(19:09):
I hope that that will help you today
and to be able to...
Like I said, release whatever might be keeping
you from really loving yourself is as fully
and deeply as
source intends for you to do.
Yeah. That's what I'd like to say about
that.
And I would encourage you today to go
(19:31):
out and
or maybe even just this week to commit
to 1 act of self love. So we
we mentioned
today a couple different ways you can do
that. So so figure out 1 of them
and also,
self if you would like to,
receive my,
list of
affirmations. And also, when you you can also
(19:54):
sign up for...
I offer daily messages of... Their inspirational messages
of love and light.
So if you would like to get that,
and then you sign up for my list
to do that, and you'll get the free
affirmations.

of those are lowercase.
I'll have it in the show notes. Still

I want to mention that's going on in
my life or that I think you should

(08:25):
writing about in my book.
So I went up to the for promoter
of the, you know, the organizer of the
group when I got there and said, is
it okay? If I... I know you and
I had to that I was gonna talk
about Linkedin, but is it okay if I
talk about my book instead in this this
love method. And she said, sure. Yeah. Talk
So that was the first time I ever
(08:46):
talked about it in public, and I was
nervous
to say the least,
but I did it anyway. And I stepped
out of my comfort zone, and what was
wonderful was that I received positive
reactions from the people there. And so that,
was confirmation for me that I needed to
keep going to keep talking about this to
(09:06):
keep
writing about it, and I eventually did publish
my book.
So I encourage you
to
look at the results in your business right
now. And if you
don't like what you see. Perhaps then I
would encourage you to go ahead and
(09:27):
think about
asking yourself this question,
what beliefs are holding me back from loving
myself fully.
Because it is very possible that there are
some
limiting beliefs that you might be holding onto.
And I'm gonna talk about more of that
in a minute, but I wanna get you
some...
(09:48):
Let's get let's get practical now. Let's let's
talk about the fact that
even if, you know what actually, I'm gonna
say it this way, even if you
feel that you do love yourself.
And you're you're comfortable, but with that,
you could still
enhance that.
Amp up a little bit. You know, oh,
(10:08):
like,
for those of you who have ever seen
the movie spinal tap, you know, they they
talk about ticking it up to 11
instead their speakers.
So let's let's do that. Let's let's amp
up your self love. They practice and and
make it an 11 instead of 1, you
know, instead of 10 out of 10, Let's
make it an 11.
So how can you do that?
1 way is to
(10:31):
engage in something really simple, which is daily
affirmations.
You know, telling yourself, speaking it to yourself,
saying I love you. In fact, 1 of
the ones that, again, I talk about this
in my book, I love the the late
Louise hay was so amazing, and 1 of
the practices she talked about
was this mirror practice.
(10:53):
Where she would look at herself in the
mirror, and she would say Louise, I love
you.
Anytime she was in front of a mirror,
it could even be in her car when
she was looking in the rearview mirror.
So I've... I've encouraged my clients to do
that as well, and and they've told me
it does feel... Funny at first and and
when I started doing it too, it does
feel a little weird, but the more you
(11:15):
do it, the better you feel
about yourself. So I encourage you to to
try that and
and other
affirmations, maybe in fact, I'll
I have
I put together a list of affirmations
that you can actually get from me if
you'd like, And, I'm gonna tell you how
(11:35):
to do that in a little bit
at the end of the show. So you
can you can get this for me for
free. The second
the second way
that you can
sort of amp up your self love practice,
and I mentioned this earlier
is through mindfulness
exercises,
mindful practices.
Like meditation.
(11:55):
Meditation is 1 of my
favorites that I do, I make time for
every morning,
And I vary the times that I spend
doing it. You know, sometimes I can meditate
for an hour. Sometimes I'll meditate for 10
minutes.
Whatever works for you, and I know I've
talked about this on the show before.
Meditation
looks different for everybody. And you have to
(12:17):
figure out the way that works best for
you. It could be just going for a
walk
out in nature. And spending spending time in
the quiet, You know, listen to the birds,
just
be have a do a walking meditation. I've
done I've done 1 of those before too
where you just really
(12:38):
mindful
stepping, You know,
So there's lots of ways that you can
do this to be able
to
just be still to really be still and
and no.
I love that phrase. It's so it's so
powerful.
Another way to practice self love, which I
kinda touched on at the beginning too is
that
(12:58):
you set boundaries for yourself,
and learn to say, no.
No is a complete sentence. I still remember
the first time I heard that,
I they turned out to be 1 of
my first clients actually for my copywriting business
years ago, they were of life coaches.
And I went to this presentation where they
talked about no is a complete sentence.
(13:20):
And we have to...
Say no, sometimes.
Do it kindly
and still
be able to have that confidence to say
I would love to help you out or.
I would love to do this, but I
can't,
right now be, you know, and you can
use it... Whatever reason it is, but but
(13:41):
know that you don't have to ob yourself
to
doing
things for everybody, you know, just because someone
I'm asks you to do it.
If it doesn't work for you, then it
doesn't work for you. And setting boundaries in
your business is so important. I know when
I first... Started my business. I was working
7 days a week,
which
(14:02):
is not
practical, for the long run. It's at the
beginning sure, you you may have to do
that. But eventually,
you need to really come up with...
Good hours and and days of when you're
gonna work because you've gotta be able to
make time for self care. As I mentioned
earlier,
Otherwise, you're gonna burn out,
or you're gonna get sick, and then you're
(14:23):
not gonna be good to you to certainly
yourself, your clients,
your friends, your family, you're not gonna be
good to anybody that way. So you definitely
wanna take care of yourself.
Alright. So we talked about a little bit
about
self love and and and business and And
I think ultimately, what...
Why this is so important,
why it's key to business is that
(14:47):
As I mentioned, when when you love yourself,
you're gonna take care of yourself,
you're gonna be you're gonna show up better
for your clients for your
team members if you if you have a
a staff working for you
because
you on... You're honoring yourself you're honoring your
value, you're understanding it, and
(15:09):
it's it's so important to be able to
do that. And that's what I wanna talk
about in my book,
and I know I've talked about this on
on prior episodes as well that
this is why I'm so passionate about love
method because it is really about helping you
to
let go of some of these limiting beliefs
to be able to
open your heart to receive wisdom and love
(15:32):
and to value you what makes you unique
and and
why you are
the person that your clients need?
And, of course, to embrace your d
and to realize that you are
an amazing spiritual being. So
appreciate yourself and that's... We come right back
(15:52):
to self love again.
1 of the other tools that I've used
to help myself in being able to cultivate
self love to let go of limiting beliefs
to be able to
hone my intuition is through the practice of
light language.
And
if you're not familiar with it,
(16:13):
go to my website,
gloria rand dot com, and I have I
have a whole big page about that, right
right at the top you'll be able to
find it.
And
1... But just to
the the cliff notes version of it it
is a
multi
dimensional
language,
that speaks to your soul. And so I
(16:36):
typically either speak it or I sing it,
and
it is something that you're
left brain won't necessarily understand, but your right
brain will get it because it is more
of a
a message that again, that's gonna resonate
with your soul.
So
when I do this, I
(16:57):
will, I'll, offer my intention is
to
let this be something that's gonna release whatever
is
whatever
limiting beliefs perhaps that you may have about
money that might be holding you back, or
maybe even,
you know, we also carry a lot of
ancestral.
Wounds in our Dna. I mean, that's that's
(17:20):
it's been proven. I mean, they have they
have seen that we are we are carrying
some trauma, I guess, it might be a
better way of saying it in our Dna.
So
again, this is something that light language can
help you with.
So if you are listening to this podcast
or watching it on Youtube somewhere where you're
not watching it on Youtube, You wouldn't be
doing that necessarily. But... If you're operating machinery
(17:42):
if you're driving a car or you're at
the gym or something,
pause this, come back to it later.
This it really is a... It's a very
relaxing.
So my clients have told me is that
it helps them to relax and to let
go of stress. So what Would invite you
to do right now. So I'm gonna share
a little bit of that with you right
now. So I invite you to. You can
close your eyes if you like,
(18:04):
and just
set the intention that the message that you
receive today is gonna be for your soul
highest good.
And for the highest good of all concerned.
(19:09):
I hope that that will help you today
and to be able to...
Like I said, release whatever might be keeping
you from really loving yourself is as fully
and deeply as
source intends for you to do.
Yeah. That's what I'd like to say about
that.
And I would encourage you today to go
(19:31):
out and
or maybe even just this week to commit
to 1 act of self love. So we
we mentioned
today a couple different ways you can do
that. So so figure out 1 of them

I want to mention that's going on in
