Guy, and you're listening tobizradious all entrepreneurs all
(00:30):
the time.
This is the Home BusinessSuccess Show.
I've decided to skip today'stwo cents marketing minute to
spend more time with today'sguest.
We're going to talk aboutmindfulness, mindset and
business, among other things.
Have you ever heard the wordpolymath?
Wikipedia defines the word asan individual whose knowledge
spans over a substantial numberof subjects, known to draw on
(00:55):
complex bodies of knowledge tosolve specific problems.
That's how I would describe ourguest, eva Coppola Coppola.
Eva Coppola Coppola, eva Coppola.
She is an empath, a persistentand hungry seeker of knowledge
and enlightenment, an activewealth manifestor and a
ferociously talented creator,artist, singer, published author
(01:19):
and technologist.
She's a world music artist,singer, producer, composer,
dancer, actor, voice actor,model, historical clothing and
show dance attire designer,fitness instructor and
technology systems nerd.
Classically trained in danceand music, she played piano at
(01:39):
age seven, violin at age nineand flute soon thereafter, for
which she was accepted into andstudied at Juilliard and
performed as part of a flutechorus at Carnegie Hall with
Jean Pierre Rampal.
If that's not enough, eva isthe author of Finally Free my
Exodus from the Covert,malignant, narcissist Sociopaths
(02:02):
, which is both anautobiographical and
inspirational work.
She is the creator of apowerful tech app called the
Miss Call Textback forBusinesses to Capture Missed
Revenue.
It's an entry point to acomprehensive CRM with an ever
expanding suite of supportfeatures for small to mid-sized
(02:24):
businesses.
That's a lot to do in onelifetime, I would think.
That being said, welcome to theshow, eva.
Eva (02:30):
Thank you very much.
I have to give you oneamendment.
I didn't create the technology,but I am the provider of the
technology.
Hank (02:38):
Okay, okay, but you've got
that, that coder.
Eva (02:42):
You've got coder under your
belt.
Hank (02:44):
Yeah, so it's like some
people find that diametrically
opposed to being creative, butit's not.
We might get into that a littlebit later.
But I want to ask you something.
My wife is a musician, she's apianist and her number one piano
teacher.
Most of her life was trained atJuilliard and this is not the
(03:07):
person I'm about to ask youabout.
But did you know Adele Marcusat Juilliard?
Eva (03:12):
No, but the name somehow
sounds familiar.
Hank (03:17):
but no, yes she was quite
the teacher at Juilliard, and my
wife had a masterclass with herat the University of Miami when
Adele Marcus came into townrecruiting for Juilliard.
So, yeah, okay.
That being said, let's begintalking about mindset.
I've heard you say that theexpression acting as if is
(03:40):
superficial.
What's your take on that?
Eva (03:42):
That the second part of it
is that being as if is
fundamental and that acting asif is only just pretending and
not necessarily implying thatthe emotional commitment and the
emotional state is there andfor manifesting.
At the very core of connectingwith source energy is the need
(04:03):
that we must feel the feelingsof being having already achieved
that thing that we desire.
We must be in the state ofreally joyously feeling that
having occurred.
So, being as if means that I'mbeing that individual who has
already received whatever thething is that I desire.
(04:24):
And to tag to that, we have aright to desire.
We have a right, we have thedivine right to have everything
that we desire, becauseeverything that we desire is
totally authentic and it's partof our being and it was already
there.
It's.
The concept that a desire isseparate from a person is just
completely false.
The desire is there becausewe're supposed to have it, and
(04:47):
that's something that societywants to continuously tell us.
The opposite of.
You know, oh, you should suffer, and and that's just wrong.
But that's a little furtherthan you asked.
Hank (04:57):
So then, you would say,
being as if already puts us in
the mindset of what it is thatwe're creating and what it is
that we are creating,particularly in ourselves, as
being, because if we're alreadybeing it, then we don't have to
work towards it.
We are it.
Eva (05:14):
Right, right, and the being
, as if eliminates the
implication that I don't have it.
And the whole, the whole act ofmanifesting is I already, it
already exists.
Whatever the whatever it isthat I desire doesn't matter how
big and the bigger it is thebetter it is is that it already
exists.
The desire is just a reflectionof it already exists and you're
(05:35):
supposed to have it.
And so, by being in the stateof wow, I'm so full of elation
and joy and fulfillment becauseI have this thing.
It opens the door for allowing,which is something that Esther
and Jerry Hicks talk about, butit allows it to flow into our
experience now, because I haveopened the door and it's flowing
(05:57):
into my experience.
And if I'm just acting as ifthere's a part of me that's
going well, I don't have it, soI'm in the state of not having,
and the universe hears that andreflects it back.
So the thing about being isthat I'm being that because
that's the energy I'm sendingout, because that's the energy
that's going to come back.
That's just the law that welive in.
Hank (06:18):
That certainly makes total
sense to me.
And it also brings me back tosome people who say fake it till
you make it.
But that can't be, because ifyou're faking it, you're not it.
So you know, people worry aboutimposter syndrome and I think
if they're faking it tillthey're making it, they are
imposters.
If you think you're an imposter, you're probably an imposter,
(06:39):
Although people do have selfdoubts, but that's a whole
different story.
Is there a simple mindfulnessexercise that you can, that you
could suggest to folks who wantto be in that state of being?
Eva (06:53):
Yeah, what I do, because
the emotions come and they can
be deeply challenging.
Right, the fear comes,everybody gets it.
I had it this morning.
I had really heavy, heavy fearcoming at me and my you know,
one thing I do is a few things.
So one thing is non resistanceor accepting.
(07:14):
So in the past, when negativeemotions would come, I would
resist them and fight them andbattle with them.
But that creates moreresistance and that's an energy
that resists against being atpeace and free of it and being
in the place of aligned withsource energy.
So allow, allow the emotionslike okay, hi, okay, you came to
(07:34):
visit fear.
Okay, thanks I.
You know I'm hurting, thishurts, this is really hard.
Okay, all right, but they don'thave any meaning beyond the
fact that they exist, becauseemotions themselves are just
that, they're just emotions,they're not, they're not a law,
they're not a result, they'renot anything, they're just
(07:55):
emotions, they're just energyoccurring.
So that's a really importantone is that it doesn't have a
definition, it doesn't have ameaning, it just is.
And then, in the, in a time whenit's really difficult, if
somebody's dealing withsomething really difficult and
you feel like you can't get to aplace of being in a joyous
state of receiving.
First step is okay, move toneutral, get, at least get away
(08:18):
from the despair and at leastremove from that like completely
let go and release.
So this is the sign ofreleasing, right, this.
So the physical act is also theinternal act.
Okay, I release, I release.
Not, I let not, I'm not holdingon to, because the universe
(08:39):
doesn't understand, no, really.
So the concept of holding on tois the only thing that's going
to penetrate.
So I release, I release, okay,okay, and I let go of everything
.
I accept everything.
I release, I accept everything,I let go.
Okay, I'm taking deep breaths.
Okay, I release, I have noattachment, I release, I'm
really okay, okay, okay, let go.
(09:00):
And at that point now I thinkmost people would probably be
able to say, oh, I could take abreath.
Okay, I feel like I could takea breath now, I feel like I
could actually open my chest andtake a full breath.
Okay, take a full breath.
Okay, straighten out yourposture, just kind of lean the
body back a bit, put yourself inthat kind of state where you
feel good, should feel good.
(09:22):
Okay, all right.
And then if you can move further, then okay, I'm willing to
believe, I'm willing to be inthe state of feeling that I
already have this thing, that Ineed desire.
I'm so passionate aboutwhatever.
I'm willing to be in the state,I'm willing to feel.
And if you can go further,think about being, think about
having that thing, think aboutbeing in that state or having
(09:45):
accomplished it or whatever itis, and just ruminate on and I,
specifically, I'm thinking aboutwow, I just love that whole and
you can put yourself in thatplace of loving having that
experience, loving having thatthing occurring and going gosh,
I just love how that feels andthat's very good because you can
(10:11):
just keep working on generatingthat and circling that, cycling
that, circulating that throughyourself, and then be a channel.
And then the other thing is thatI'm not the source, you're not
the source.
The thing I want is not thesource, they're all channels.
I'm just a channel, you're justa channel.
(10:32):
So I desire wealth, okay, butthe money is not the source
Source.
Energy is the source.
I'm just a channel, I'm not thesource either.
So I'm just allowing the wealthto come, I'm allowing the
abundance to flow, I'm openingthe doors and offering no
judgment at all.
I'm releasing all things andI'm going okay, I'm just a
(10:54):
channel, I'm allowing, andthat's what Esther Hicks and
Jerry Hicks talk about this, theart of allowing, which I
resonated incredibly powerfullyfor me.
So that's a series of steps.
Hank (11:06):
Those are some good steps
For our audience that's
listening and not seeing this onvideo.
When you said, this is theposition of acceptance to me,
like you put your hands out bothof your hands out in front of
you and turn the palms back,maybe just a little bit.
Eva (11:25):
So that's that open-handed
acceptance.
The open-handed acceptance.
The other position, that's evenprobably more communicative of
this, is simply having yourpalms out open and pointed
upward, in the symbol of sayingI am receiving the source energy
.
I'm just a channel and myspirit is open.
(11:46):
My body is open, my energy iscompletely open to the door, is
entirely open to receive andaccept the ocean of unlimited
life force, energy that is there.
Hank (11:59):
I see I've seen statues of
Buddha with his hands and that
acceptance position, and I'veseen other statues that have the
hands in different positions.
I guess the secret is knowingwhat those hand gestures really
signify.
Conventional thought wants usto believe that the creative,
spiritual, scientific andtechnical disciplines don't
(12:22):
coexist in our minds and ourbeings.
I think you're proof that thisis erroneous.
How is it that you've worked toreconcile these parts of
yourself, or were they justalways, that they just always
peacefully coexist?
Eva (12:35):
They were always there and,
interestingly, they were always
there.
And to add to that I would saya little anecdote, something
that hasn't happened recently,but it used to happen a lot.
If I would go to an interviewwhere it was a non-creative
occupation of some sort, sometechnical thing and somebody,
(12:56):
and maybe they were aware of my,sometimes I wouldn't share that
information, but at times wherethat information they may have
been aware of my work as acreator and they would say
something like well, why did youchoose music?
Or why did you choose?
And at first, the first timesomebody ever asked me that, I
was completely flummoxed.
(13:17):
I was like what are you what?
I don't know how to answer.
And then after time I realizedI got to understand myself more
and I realized that, okay,that's totally done, that's a
useless question because it'snot a choice.
The bottom line, the deepestthing about it, is when you are
your authentic self and you arejust answering your authentic
self calling.
(13:37):
There's no choice there and itis just that it is.
So my best statement outwardnow is it just, is that this is,
and just because you haven'tseen it in a thousand other
people before, doesn't make,doesn't have anything to do is
not relevant to the fact that Iam here being this.
I am the living embodiment ofthis, and if I don't work and if
(13:59):
it doesn't work for you, that'sfine, I can move on and be with
the tribe for whom it does work.
Hank (14:04):
But if it does, then how
nice to meet you and yeah, I
once heard someone say someonewas asked about source, what can
you say about source?
And however, the interpreterswere defining source, but what
can you say about source?
And this individual answeredthat what you just said.
It just is you know, and itworks through us and it
(14:27):
manifests through us if we gointo acceptance and we allow it.
So so this brings me to ournext question, because you know,
time is flying.
It's amazing how quickly timegoes by, even though it's an
illusion.
Uh, do you still sing and domusical performances?
Eva (14:44):
that's always, that's.
That's that there is no endpoint being an authentic being.
There is no end to any of theseauthentic expressions.
Hank (14:52):
They're always, they
always in the present right, so
then that's just as much a partof you as as the other parts
that we were discussing.
Okay, now, if you would pleasetell us about that tech app, the
missed callback, the missedcall text back.
Who are your ideal customersfor the app?
What does it that it does?
Eva (15:11):
it guarantee does a few
things.
One is that it guarantees thata business that's missing calls
will capture the capture thosecalls forever capture the people
number, associated email, andthat revenue suddenly becomes
that's real money for thebusiness to now be able to
access by capturing those calls.
(15:33):
Now we are dealing with alandscape that is more and more
restricted because of anti-scamand anti-scam and privacy a
variety of privacy rules andregulations, given that we have
to be able to.
As business people, we want tobe able to market successfully
right.
We want to be able to reach ourcustomers in unique ways.
(15:55):
This is a way to do that and Iprovide the means to do it where
the business won't have anyissue being blocked for
anti-spam or anti-scam.
What happens is the workflowtriggers the minute a call comes
in that gets missed, thecustomer that receives a text
message of a welcome message,whatever the wording that the
(16:16):
business wants to convey thankyou so much for calling, we'll
get you back.
We'll get back to you whenever,and then any other information
can be put into that workflow tocommunicate with the customer
and, conversely, the caller nowknows that that relationship has
immediately elevated becausethey know it's not that they
called and left a message and Idon't know when that business is
(16:38):
calling me back.
If ever now they know, oh well,I can have something to do with
this interaction.
Now it's elevated might.
The business has contacted meand given me access to them in a
way that allows me toparticipate more actively in our
interaction as well.
So you can put a calendar linkif you need.
If people want to book time, Iprovide all of the components
(17:01):
for a business to do this.
You become a location you get Iprovide a number that is
compliant and registered andthen you're then you're
capturing all of those calls andthat becomes part of your
passive.
Those passive leads came in.
That's a data that goes intoyour database permanently.
You can then always have thosepeople to nurture going forward,
(17:21):
however you wish to do that,whatever other marketing
campaigns you may want to run ata later point.
Hank (17:26):
Now, those people didn't
get lost in the ether when they
called and hung up so this isreally important, particularly
for businesses that do get a lotof incoming phone calls and,
for whatever reason, some ofthose phone calls might be
missed and I see where you'regoing with that.
By the very fact that theperson very, very quickly gets a
notification back that theircall has been received and
(17:48):
somebody will be contacting them.
They know, number one, thatthis is a legitimate business
and and also that somebody atthe business cares enough to
have taken this step to assurethem that there's going to be
contact very soon.
So I think that's uh, I couldsee the use for this app for
businesses, especially those whodo a lot of phone type business
(18:09):
.
Do you have any advice forlisteners who want to bridge the
gap between the creative andtechnical sides of themselves?
Eva (18:16):
Yeah, first thing I would
say is start from the way you're
thinking about it.
If you have blocks and you aresomeone who says, well, I have
all these creative impulses, butthey don't fit with my cubicle
rigid, whatever business life,whatever those rigid things are,
(18:39):
think about the concept that.
Whose rules are those?
Do they fit you?
Are they authentic to you?
Do they in any way work for you?
Well, nobody made any rules foryou about how you can be as a
person.
Those unspoken rules thatpeople carry, or we can carry
around all sorts of unspoken askthat, rules that are
(18:59):
meaningless.
So throw the rules away.
Whose rules are they?
Anyhow, and consider the factthat you have a right to make
your own rules.
You have a right to decide foryourself, really and truly.
And for people who say, oh well,I can't put my creativity with
my other activity, I think that,starting with the idea of just
be willing to allow the conceptto flow out If you can't find a
(19:25):
way right away, just start fromthe point of saying, okay, I'm
willing to see something Ihaven't seen before, and then,
from that point, that suddenlyopens the door and allows you to
take much more power over yourown state and your own
experience which really yourpurpose in life is to be happy.
That's a real purpose.
(19:46):
That's a real purpose.
So if you have to say I'mwilling to let myself be happy,
okay, I'm willing to allowmyself to be happy.
Hank (19:54):
So it's all just a
question of what we're willing
to allow ourselves.
We've actually run out of time,so I want to ask you what is
the number one best way for ourlisteners to reach you?
Eva (20:04):
If you want to talk about
the missed call text back, you
can go to my site, evaevaadscom.
Evaevaadscom.
Hank (20:13):
I wasn't getting that,
evaeva Evaevaadscom.
Eva (20:16):
Evaevaadscom.
Look, if you're interested inmy book, you would go to,
finally, threeevaevacom.
And then I'm on LinkedIn withjust the business.
I have a LinkedIn profile.
That just is the technical.
It's just a purely technicalprofile.
(20:38):
And I'm also on social mediaand which I guess Hank can
probably post there for peopleto see.
Hank (20:46):
Yeah, we'll have some
contacts in the show notes.
So at this point in time I'vegot to thank you for being here.
This has been remarkable.
