On this episode of New Paradigm Human, we'll be talking
about monetizing your hobbiesand passions.
Can you, should you?
Let's get into it.
Hello everyone, someone in ourcommunity today said something
(00:32):
that I thought was reallyinteresting and I had an
immediate response to it and Ifelt like I wanted to jump on
here and talk about it, becauseif one person is thinking this,
I'm sure that there are manyother people who are also
thinking this, and it's just avery interesting topic to
dissect and figure out what'sthe truth in it.
All the things that Ipersonally love to do as a first
line profile and this was agenerator who said that, while
(00:55):
they really wanted to spendtheir days doing things that
they loved, they also feltstrongly that they didn't want
to monetize all of theirpassions.
So, yes, this was a veryinteresting topic to me, because
I think it can be a blocker toliving out your life, especially
as a generator, but even as amanifesting generator, if you
(01:15):
hold this belief and I also feelthat it's one a belief that you
could overcome if you really dowant to spend your days doing
what you love and make money forit, or it could be something
that you just know to be trueabout yourself, and I want to
talk about a few of the thingsin your design that may
contribute to you wanting tomonetize your hobbies or
(01:37):
passions or not.
So yeah, let's break it down abit.
The first thing that I wasthinking about is this belief
could be some conditioning thatyou took on.
Is it possible that either youwere told growing up, or even
just as a young adult, that ifyou monetize something, it
always becomes work?
It's not fun, it would ruin itfor you.
(01:59):
That's just something toexamine.
I don't think I ever hadspecifically this belief, but it
felt really impossible to mebefore I started my
deconditioning process, tofigure out how would I have a
job where I was monetizingthings that I love to do number
one or number two.
(02:20):
I looked around at a lot of thejobs that were maybe more
similar to what my actualpassions were, so like more
creative jobs, and I thought Iknow what a job is, I know what
a job feels like.
You're ultimately working forsomeone else, you're serving
someone else, you're serving aclient, and if that doesn't
appeal to you in general, thenyeah, taking a hobby and putting
(02:43):
it into that structure wouldprobably be unpleasant, and that
was how I felt I actuallydidn't mind working the jobs
that I worked.
I'm a generator.
I love having something to do,I love having a purpose,
especially when I was single inmy 20s which I was single from
the entirety of my 20s Work wasan important place to me.
It was somewhere to go, it wasa social outlet, it was a place
of belonging.
(03:04):
It was my ideal environment ina lot of ways, of wet kitchens.
And yet I knew that I didn'twant the stuff that I love doing
to be pushed into that type ofenvironment, because I didn't
want to do it in service ofsomething that somebody else
owned, where I was just like acog in a machine.
And so for me, even though I ama deeply creative person, I
(03:25):
actually went in the directionof a career and job that was not
very creative, because I did,in a way, want to keep that
energy for myself and, yeah, Ijust didn't want to be in a
creative environment per se.
I was okay doing other thingsthat were satisfying enough for
me and just knowing that it wasa job and it was work and it
wouldn't always be the most funand it wasn't necessarily
(03:47):
something that I was deeplypassionate about.
It was interesting enough, itwas satisfying enough, but I
didn't want my creativityexisting in that type of
structure.
I don't know why.
This was something that I justfelt, I believe, but it was
pretty true for me.
So it's okay to think that way.
So, to sum all that up, itcould be some conditioning that
you took on where you sawsomeone else in your life have a
bad experience trying to dosomething that they loved.
(04:07):
Maybe they tried to start abusiness and just could never
get it off the ground and endedup hating what they were doing.
Or maybe they were using theirskills related to their passion
for someone else's company andended up feeling really burnt
out or unappreciated.
So it's good to just look andsee like is there an origin to
this belief or is it somethingthat you truly believe to be
(04:29):
true as an experience you've had, or something that's core to
your being?
And as far as how todistinguish between those two
things, I think to an extent youmay be able to feel it in your
body.
If it's a belief, sometimesit's something that is like up
in your head and you literallyfeel your energy come up into
your head.
You feel a lot of negativityswirling around it, whereas if
(04:51):
it's something that's just likedeeply truthful for you, it
typically just feels kind ofpeaceful in your body.
There's not a lot of thatanxiety.
You don't feel your energy goup to your head.
But it might take a littlewhile to figure out the
difference for you.
But typically a belief is goingto be rooted in something that
you have seen previously in yourlife, especially when you were
young or impressionable, andit's not something that you
(05:11):
specifically have experiencedyourself.
So if this is a belief, what doyou do about it?
Well, this is kind of my areaof interest at the moment.
I've been creating a lot oftools over the past year for
generators and MGs who want toreprogram their subconscious.
But all the things that I'mcreating are rooted in
subconscious reprogramming, thelaw of assumption, journaling,
(05:32):
seeking out whatever mentalhealth assistance you need, and
I truly do feel that if you arepersistent in wanting to rewrite
a belief, you absolutely canand you can totally experience a
different reality.
So it could be that right nowyou're in a reality where all
you can see and think is thatyou would never want to monetize
(05:53):
your passions and the thingsthat you love to do.
But once you undo that belief,suddenly you start to see
examples of oh, here are allthese ways that I could get paid
to do what I want to do all day, and suddenly that belief just
doesn't seem true anymore.
Because you're seeing all thesedifferent possibilities, I will
definitely be releasing somenew ways to work on this mental
(06:14):
deconditioning.
I ran a group earlier this yearwhere we did it and it was
really successful.
So we'll definitely be doingsomething like that again.
But, depending on when you'relistening to this, the best
thing to do is to join my emaillist, which is linked below, so
that you get updates oneverything that I'm releasing.
But truly, the belief that atleast I have about this is that
people want to pay for thingsthat make their lives more easy,
(06:37):
fun, meaningful, that help themgrow, that reflect who they are
and give them a sense ofbelonging.
Most humans love to spend moneywhen it's on the right things.
That said, there are a millionreasons in today's world to have
a negative relationship withmoney.
It is absolutely one of themost distorted concepts and,
(07:02):
yeah, basically it's impossibleto grow up for the most part
without some kind of beliefabout money.
That does not serve you.
That's a topic for a differentday.
But at least for me, as I'veworked through a lot of these
money beliefs, I've come toreally love and appreciate
people who are taking the riskof creating something that
(07:24):
they're really passionate about.
And when I find something likethat out there, be it a product,
a service, a course and I'm notjust talking spiritual things
like human design, I'm talkingthings that I'm interested in
like makeup and clothing andplanners and stationary and
entertainment it brings me a lotof joy to part with my money in
(07:47):
that way and to support thatperson to receive something
amazing in return that I feelmakes my life a lot better.
So if you have a belief thatspending money is always losing
something, that would be maybe abelief to look at, because it
definitely does not have to feelthat way.
So, yes, this idea of gettingpaid for doing what you love to
do, it could be just a beliefyou have or it could be
(08:10):
something that is very true foryou.
So if it is true for you, let'stalk a little bit about that
and just some things in yourchart that may make that true.
So I would say that, generally,generators are not great at
splitting our time, energy,focus between a lot of different
things, and for us, it tends tobe important in the long run to
(08:32):
find a way to be paid forsomething that we enjoy doing.
It's simply because, in today'sworld, that's what it takes to
be able to dedicate asignificant amount of time and
energy to something.
It's not the only way you couldmarry or partner with someone
who has money that allows you topursue the things you want.
(08:56):
You could essentially retire atwhatever age you're at and live
off investments or money thatyou have made in another area of
your life.
It's not the only way.
There are other ways, but formost of us, we need to be
generating some kind ofconsistent income in order to
survive, and so, in order toactually spend our days doing
something that we really love,we have to get paid for it.
(09:18):
On the other hand, this is notcompletely true for manifesting
generators.
I find it is actually quitecommon for manifesting
generators to have a fewdifferent, what I call energy
outlets.
So you may have a paying jobthat supports you financially
and isn't your number onepassion, but it's something
that's satisfying enough for you.
(09:39):
It's sustainable.
You don't mind showing up to doit every day.
Then on the side, you have yourhobbies and projects and you
don't monetize those because youwant them to feel fun and free
and just this really light andbeautiful and expansive part of
your life.
So if that's the case for you,that is fully in alignment with
(10:00):
the manifesting generator energy.
You could also want to dedicatemost of your time to something
that you enjoy and get paid for.
That is also possible.
But for manifesting generators,making sure that what you're
doing feels fun and doesn't getthat heaviness of work is so
important.
So if you're in that categoryand that's your reality, that is
(10:22):
fully in alignment and thatjust may be your truth that
there are things that you wantto do that you have no interest
in charging money for because,straight up, you do not have to
monetize everything you enjoy.
I've actually thought about thisa lot and I've wondered, just
asking myself why are therecertain things that I do want to
(10:45):
monetize?
Why do I want to monetize thespiritual work that I do?
Why did I decide to go downthat path as opposed to some of
the other things I'm interestedin?
Because I have a lot ofinterests.
I have a lot of things I'vebeen passionate about even
longer than spirituality, thingslike interior design and
graphic design and personalstyle and planning and
(11:07):
stationary and journaling.
Those are just some of thethings that I can think of that
I dedicate a lot of time, moneyand energy toward and have for a
very long time, and yet I'venever felt inclined to monetize
them.
And as I've thought about this alot over the years, I think
some of this you can find if youtake a look at your North node.
(11:29):
You have a North node in humandesign, but you also have one in
astrology.
I'm particularly interested inthe astrology one because I
think it's a little bit morebroad and a little bit easier to
understand, since everything inhuman design tends to be a
little bit more about like aspecific energy or something
more mechanical on the bodygraph, whereas I feel that the
(11:50):
astrological North Node goesreally deep into a lot of soul
themes.
For you, I have paired NorthNodes with a lot of human design
work I've done in puregenerators.
I don't have anything where Ioffer that at the moment,
although I will soon, but for me, if I look at my North Node
axis, I have an Aries North Nodeand a Libra South Node.
(12:11):
So Aries North Node is aboutunique this and going forward on
your own path and really payingattention to your sense of
individualism.
So it would make sense that Iwould be pulled to start my own
business, rely fully on myself,talk about a system that is all
about your unique self and maybewhy I wouldn't feel so drawn to
(12:36):
monetize the hobbies andinterests that definitely fit
under the Libra South Node.
So Libra is a lot aboutaesthetics and all those things
I described, like interiordesign and style and just
basically all these otheraesthetic pursuits.
So it makes sense that thoseare a big part of what I'm
interested in.
It's probably something that mysoul has a lot of experience in
(13:00):
creating that kind of likebeauty in the world.
I feel like almost all of myfavorite influencers that I
follow have either Libra, sunsor Libra prominent in their
chart, but that's not ultimatelymy destiny in this life, so it
makes sense that that's not whatI pursued.
So you may have a lot ofhobbies and interests that are
part of your South Node andthere are definitely things that
(13:20):
you want to maintain.
They're things that are areally important part of your
life, but it's not where likeyour biggest soul, learning and
growth will come from.
So it would make sense why youwouldn't want to monetize them,
whereas there's something thatmaybe fits more into your North
Node, one of your interests,where it would actually be
really satisfying and lucrativefor you to monetize it and it
(13:41):
wouldn't necessarily feel likework.
A few more things in your chartthat may lead you to feel like
why or how could I ever monetizethe things that I love?
I would take a look at yourheart, your, if you have a
defined heart versus anundefined heart.
Defined hearts probablynaturally feel a lot of the
value in what they offer,whereas if you, like me and like
the majority of the population,have an undefined heart, it may
(14:04):
feel very unclear why anythingthat you do is of value to
anybody else.
For me, as an undefined heart,if I try to understand or think
about the value of what I create, it's just very hard for me.
It's something that I'm notgoing to have a consistent
understanding of.
Sometimes I will have thatenergy in there in my heart that
says like okay, I reallyunderstand the value of this.
(14:25):
I can see my own value, butmost of the time I just don't.
If you have an undefined heart,you just don't have any
intrinsic internal way ofgauging the value of something
the way someone with a definedheart does.
And so for me, as an undefinedheart and a lot of other
undefined hearts, I know we relyon sampling a lot of external
feedback.
I love to pull my audience tosee what they're willing to pay
(14:48):
for things.
It doesn't mean that Inecessarily go with what the
majority of people are saying.
It simply means that it givesme some data, some things to
kind of feel into.
I get some expert help fromoutside people who are really
good at pricing things and helpme work through the calculations
of what makes something awin-win.
(15:09):
That's both feasible for me andsupportive of what I want to
create an offer, and also thepeople who are purchasing.
So yeah, if you have anundefined heart, it may not be
obvious how or why you wouldmonetize something that you love
to do, but you can work withthat energy and still make money
off of something that you loveif you want to.
Next, if you have a second linein your profile two, four, six,
(15:33):
two, two, five, five, two thingslike that you just may have no
clue why anything that you'redoing is special.
You think that what you're ableto do is something that
everybody can do, so why wouldanybody ever pay for it?
And that just simply is nottrue.
As a second line, it's veryhard for you to see the things
that you do are special.
They feel very natural andnormal to you.
(15:53):
So, for you, if there'ssomething that you loved doing
and you would love to spend yourentire day doing it, ask the
people around you hey, is thisthing that I'm doing special and
why would you pay for this?
Do you know of anybody whowould pay for this?
Is there a way that maybe Icould do this more and how might
I do that For you?
As a second line, seeking outthat support from other people
(16:14):
who are a positive andsupportive influence on you
would be really powerful,because you may see that, oh,
this thing that I have beenreally discounting about myself
because I just thought thateverybody could do, is actually
really special.
There's a market for it andit's something that I really
might want to put out there.
Things like the undefined heartand the second line profile, and
there's other things also inour human design, but those are
(16:36):
the two that tend to be reallyimportant for people to look at
Honestly, like as an undefinedheart.
If I think too hard about, likeI said, the value of what I'm
doing, or even just having theconfidence to put all of this
out there, the confidence tothink that I can sit here and
talk and people would want tolisten, if I think about that
too hard, it honestly just likemakes me sick, like it makes me
(16:58):
feel like ugh.
So your own feelings aboutselling something that is
important to you or selling apassion or monetizing something
that you enjoy doing, actuallyhave very little to do with the
reality of whether there's ademand for this, whether it's a
viable thing for you to do, andyou can kind of just put those
(17:20):
feelings to the side after awhile.
Most of them are just thingsthat are coming in your not self
, of your undefined centersanyway, so you don't really want
to listen to them.
If I listened to my undefinedheart, I would be stuck doing
jobs that I really don't enjoyfor the rest of my life, because
it would probably be telling methat I was cringe and weird to
put all this stuff out there,when in reality it's not cringe
(17:43):
and weird.
I've had a successful businessfor almost five years, and the
things that I create make a lotof people very happy and add a
lot of value to their lives.
It's just not for me to knowthat.
For me, it's best to stayfocused on doing what I love,
honoring my sacred responses andbeing open to others, showing
me that what I have is valuable,which has been the case because
(18:06):
I've been able to continue tohave a business.
So, to sum it up, do you haveto monetize everything that you
love?
Absolutely not.
It's not necessary.
If it doesn't feel right foryou, you don't have to do it.
But if you're sitting therethinking, man, I would really
love to spend all day doing this.
One thing.
I truly do feel and this is notjust a belief, this is also
(18:29):
something that I have actuallywitnessed firsthand like it has
been proven to me on the earthplane that there are ways,
especially armed with knowledgeof your human design, to do them
in a way where you are wellcompensated, you still have fun,
you're really living your dreamlife of doing things that you
(18:50):
love.
This is absolutely my reality,and I don't think I'm an
exceptional person this way.
I think there are a lot ofpeople experiencing this, not as
many as there could be, butthey're growing in numbers.
As we figure these things out.
The fun doesn't have to getsucked out of everything that
you enjoy, but, at the same time, you also don't have to
monetize everything you enjoy.
(19:11):
So I think it's just a journeyof figuring out what are those
things that you do want tomonetize and what are the things
that you just want to keep foryourself as something that is
always a fun, passion, projector hobby.
And again, I think a lot ofthese tools that I talked about
here can help you do that.
So, yeah, definitely stayconnected.
This is very much somethingthat's at the center of the Glow
(19:33):
Up app and community that I ambuilding.
I am hoping to release thissometime in October and it will
basically be a library of all ofthe courses I've created over
the years, nicely updated, alongwith, like new live courses
that we'll be doing together, acommunity on Discord, as well as
(19:56):
a library of human designinformation that we'll be
building with all of the contentavailable in the new mobile app
that I built last month.
So if any of this is ofinterest to you, make sure
you're on my email list Link isdown below or you can sign up at
puregeneratorscom.
And yeah, I am particularlyinterested in this mindset work.
I think it is the barrier to somany of us living out our
(20:19):
design.
Doing this mentaldeconditioning is such a game
changer for everybody.
So that will definitely be oneof the first, if not the first,
topic we cover as part of thisbig glow up.
So thank you everyone and I'lltalk to you next time.
On this episode of New Paradigm Human, we'll be talking
about monetizing your hobbiesand passions.
Can you, should you?
Let's get into it.
Hello everyone, someone in ourcommunity today said something

But at least for me, as I'veworked through a lot of these
money beliefs, I've come toreally love and appreciate
people who are taking the riskof creating something that
(07:24):
they're really passionate about.
And when I find something likethat out there, be it a product,
a service, a course and I'm notjust talking spiritual things
like human design, I'm talkingthings that I'm interested in
like makeup and clothing andplanners and stationary and
entertainment it brings me a lotof joy to part with my money in
(07:47):
that way and to support thatperson to receive something
amazing in return that I feelmakes my life a lot better.
So if you have a belief thatspending money is always losing
something, that would be maybe abelief to look at, because it
definitely does not have to feelthat way.
So, yes, this idea of gettingpaid for doing what you love to
do, it could be just a beliefyou have or it could be
(08:10):
something that is very true foryou.
So if it is true for you, let'stalk a little bit about that
and just some things in yourchart that may make that true.
So I would say that, generally,generators are not great at
splitting our time, energy,focus between a lot of different
things, and for us, it tends tobe important in the long run to
(08:32):
find a way to be paid forsomething that we enjoy doing.
It's simply because, in today'sworld, that's what it takes to
be able to dedicate asignificant amount of time and
energy to something.
It's not the only way you couldmarry or partner with someone
who has money that allows you topursue the things you want.
(08:56):
You could essentially retire atwhatever age you're at and live
off investments or money thatyou have made in another area of
your life.
It's not the only way.
There are other ways, but formost of us, we need to be
generating some kind ofconsistent income in order to
survive, and so, in order toactually spend our days doing
something that we really love,we have to get paid for it.
(09:18):
On the other hand, this is notcompletely true for manifesting
generators.
I find it is actually quitecommon for manifesting
generators to have a fewdifferent, what I call energy
outlets.
So you may have a paying jobthat supports you financially
and isn't your number onepassion, but it's something
that's satisfying enough for you.
(09:39):
It's sustainable.
You don't mind showing up to doit every day.
Then on the side, you have yourhobbies and projects and you
don't monetize those because youwant them to feel fun and free
and just this really light andbeautiful and expansive part of
your life.
So if that's the case for you,that is fully in alignment with
(10:00):
the manifesting generator energy.
You could also want to dedicatemost of your time to something
that you enjoy and get paid for.
That is also possible.
But for manifesting generators,making sure that what you're
doing feels fun and doesn't getthat heaviness of work is so
important.
So if you're in that categoryand that's your reality, that is
(10:22):
fully in alignment and thatjust may be your truth that
there are things that you wantto do that you have no interest
in charging money for because,straight up, you do not have to
monetize everything you enjoy.
I've actually thought about thisa lot and I've wondered, just
asking myself why are therecertain things that I do want to
(10:45):
monetize?
Why do I want to monetize thespiritual work that I do?
Why did I decide to go downthat path as opposed to some of
the other things I'm interestedin?
Because I have a lot ofinterests.
I have a lot of things I'vebeen passionate about even
longer than spirituality, thingslike interior design and
graphic design and personalstyle and planning and
(11:07):
stationary and journaling.
Those are just some of thethings that I can think of that
I dedicate a lot of time, moneyand energy toward and have for a
very long time, and yet I'venever felt inclined to monetize
them.
And as I've thought about this alot over the years, I think
some of this you can find if youtake a look at your North node.
(11:29):
You have a North node in humandesign, but you also have one in
astrology.
I'm particularly interested inthe astrology one because I
think it's a little bit morebroad and a little bit easier to
understand, since everything inhuman design tends to be a
little bit more about like aspecific energy or something
more mechanical on the bodygraph, whereas I feel that the
(11:50):
astrological North Node goesreally deep into a lot of soul
themes.
For you, I have paired NorthNodes with a lot of human design
work I've done in puregenerators.
I don't have anything where Ioffer that at the moment,
although I will soon, but for me, if I look at my North Node
axis, I have an Aries North Nodeand a Libra South Node.
(12:11):
So Aries North Node is aboutunique this and going forward on
your own path and really payingattention to your sense of
individualism.
So it would make sense that Iwould be pulled to start my own
business, rely fully on myself,talk about a system that is all
about your unique self and maybewhy I wouldn't feel so drawn to
(12:36):
monetize the hobbies andinterests that definitely fit
under the Libra South Node.
So Libra is a lot aboutaesthetics and all those things
I described, like interiordesign and style and just
basically all these otheraesthetic pursuits.
So it makes sense that thoseare a big part of what I'm
interested in.
It's probably something that mysoul has a lot of experience in
(13:00):
creating that kind of likebeauty in the world.
I feel like almost all of myfavorite influencers that I
follow have either Libra, sunsor Libra prominent in their
chart, but that's not ultimatelymy destiny in this life, so it
makes sense that that's not whatI pursued.
So you may have a lot ofhobbies and interests that are
part of your South Node andthere are definitely things that
(13:20):
you want to maintain.
They're things that are areally important part of your
life, but it's not where likeyour biggest soul, learning and
growth will come from.
So it would make sense why youwouldn't want to monetize them,
whereas there's something thatmaybe fits more into your North
Node, one of your interests,where it would actually be
really satisfying and lucrativefor you to monetize it and it
(13:41):
wouldn't necessarily feel likework.
A few more things in your chartthat may lead you to feel like
why or how could I ever monetizethe things that I love?
I would take a look at yourheart, your, if you have a
defined heart versus anundefined heart.
Defined hearts probablynaturally feel a lot of the
value in what they offer,whereas if you, like me and like
the majority of the population,have an undefined heart, it may
(14:04):
feel very unclear why anythingthat you do is of value to
anybody else.
For me, as an undefined heart,if I try to understand or think
about the value of what I create, it's just very hard for me.
It's something that I'm notgoing to have a consistent
understanding of.
Sometimes I will have thatenergy in there in my heart that
says like okay, I reallyunderstand the value of this.
(14:25):
I can see my own value, butmost of the time I just don't.
If you have an undefined heart,you just don't have any
intrinsic internal way ofgauging the value of something
the way someone with a definedheart does.
And so for me, as an undefinedheart and a lot of other
undefined hearts, I know we relyon sampling a lot of external
feedback.
I love to pull my audience tosee what they're willing to pay
(14:48):
for things.
It doesn't mean that Inecessarily go with what the
majority of people are saying.
It simply means that it givesme some data, some things to
kind of feel into.
I get some expert help fromoutside people who are really
good at pricing things and helpme work through the calculations
of what makes something awin-win.
(15:09):
That's both feasible for me andsupportive of what I want to
create an offer, and also thepeople who are purchasing.
So yeah, if you have anundefined heart, it may not be
obvious how or why you wouldmonetize something that you love
to do, but you can work withthat energy and still make money
off of something that you loveif you want to.
Next, if you have a second linein your profile two, four, six,
(15:33):
two, two, five, five, two thingslike that you just may have no
clue why anything that you'redoing is special.
You think that what you're ableto do is something that
everybody can do, so why wouldanybody ever pay for it?
And that just simply is nottrue.
As a second line, it's veryhard for you to see the things
that you do are special.
They feel very natural andnormal to you.
(15:53):
So, for you, if there'ssomething that you loved doing
and you would love to spend yourentire day doing it, ask the
people around you hey, is thisthing that I'm doing special and
why would you pay for this?
Do you know of anybody whowould pay for this?
Is there a way that maybe Icould do this more and how might
I do that For you?
As a second line, seeking outthat support from other people
(16:14):
who are a positive andsupportive influence on you
would be really powerful,because you may see that, oh,
this thing that I have beenreally discounting about myself
because I just thought thateverybody could do, is actually
really special.
There's a market for it andit's something that I really
might want to put out there.
Things like the undefined heartand the second line profile, and
there's other things also inour human design, but those are
(16:36):
the two that tend to be reallyimportant for people to look at
Honestly, like as an undefinedheart.
If I think too hard about, likeI said, the value of what I'm
doing, or even just having theconfidence to put all of this
out there, the confidence tothink that I can sit here and
talk and people would want tolisten, if I think about that
too hard, it honestly just likemakes me sick, like it makes me
(16:58):
feel like ugh.
So your own feelings aboutselling something that is
important to you or selling apassion or monetizing something
that you enjoy doing, actuallyhave very little to do with the
reality of whether there's ademand for this, whether it's a
viable thing for you to do, andyou can kind of just put those
(17:20):
feelings to the side after awhile.
Most of them are just thingsthat are coming in your not self
, of your undefined centersanyway, so you don't really want
to listen to them.
If I listened to my undefinedheart, I would be stuck doing
jobs that I really don't enjoyfor the rest of my life, because
it would probably be telling methat I was cringe and weird to
put all this stuff out there,when in reality it's not cringe
(17:43):
and weird.
I've had a successful businessfor almost five years, and the
things that I create make a lotof people very happy and add a
lot of value to their lives.
It's just not for me to knowthat.
For me, it's best to stayfocused on doing what I love,
honoring my sacred responses andbeing open to others, showing
me that what I have is valuable,which has been the case because
(18:06):
I've been able to continue tohave a business.
So, to sum it up, do you haveto monetize everything that you
love?
Absolutely not.
It's not necessary.
If it doesn't feel right foryou, you don't have to do it.
But if you're sitting therethinking, man, I would really
love to spend all day doing this.
One thing.
I truly do feel and this is notjust a belief, this is also
(18:29):
something that I have actuallywitnessed firsthand like it has
been proven to me on the earthplane that there are ways,
especially armed with knowledgeof your human design, to do them
in a way where you are wellcompensated, you still have fun,
you're really living your dreamlife of doing things that you
(18:50):
love.
This is absolutely my reality,and I don't think I'm an
exceptional person this way.
I think there are a lot ofpeople experiencing this, not as
many as there could be, butthey're growing in numbers.
As we figure these things out.
The fun doesn't have to getsucked out of everything that
you enjoy, but, at the same time, you also don't have to
monetize everything you enjoy.
(19:11):
So I think it's just a journeyof figuring out what are those
things that you do want tomonetize and what are the things
that you just want to keep foryourself as something that is
always a fun, passion, projector hobby.
And again, I think a lot ofthese tools that I talked about
here can help you do that.
So, yeah, definitely stayconnected.
This is very much somethingthat's at the center of the Glow
(19:33):
Up app and community that I ambuilding.
I am hoping to release thissometime in October and it will
basically be a library of all ofthe courses I've created over
the years, nicely updated, alongwith, like new live courses
that we'll be doing together, acommunity on Discord, as well as
(19:56):
a library of human designinformation that we'll be
building with all of the contentavailable in the new mobile app
that I built last month.
So if any of this is ofinterest to you, make sure
you're on my email list Link isdown below or you can sign up at
puregeneratorscom.
And yeah, I am particularlyinterested in this mindset work.
I think it is the barrier to somany of us living out our
(20:19):
design.
Doing this mentaldeconditioning is such a game
changer for everybody.
So that will definitely be oneof the first, if not the first,
topic we cover as part of thisbig glow up.
So thank you everyone and I'lltalk to you next time.
