Hey, it's way, and you'relistening to Untethered and Prosperous, the podcast
where we focus on the two biggestthings passionate, purpose driven entrepreneurs need to
untether to become wildly prosperous and successfullyhappy. And those two huge anchors are
bad money stories and chronic self sabotage. So what we do is have real

(00:24):
and inspiring conversations with amazing entrepreneurs whohave done just that. So get ready
to get untethered and get prosperous.Hey, it's way, and welcome to
another episode of the Untethered Prosperous podcast. And yes, here we are with
another eight minute mic drop with anupcoming guest, not going to share too

(00:47):
much about her. Her name isMaria Tan. She's all the way up
in the Philippines. But she's goingto share a little tip and strategy for
you to help you become more untetheredand to become more prosperous in eight minutes
or less and drop them and thenshe's done. So Maria, welcome to
the show. And here you go. All right, if you are having
difficulty having success in your life,having balance in your life, having that

(01:12):
fulfilling life, the first thing thatyou need to do is to start breaking
that down to redefine what success isfor you, to redefine what balance is,
for you, to redefine what fulfillmentis with you. And you do
that through the different slices of whatsuccess is. Because success is not a
flat wheel. Balance is not aflat wheel. Fulfillment is not a flat

(01:34):
wheel. You can be bad,you know, you can have rest,
but what about your work? Whatabout your personal life? What about money?
So for you to really get towhere you want to be, you
have to know exactly where you're goingand to be as specific as possible with
every slice of the pie of thatdefines your success, balance, and fulfillment.

(01:57):
So let me get this right.So you have success, balance,
and fulfillment and breaking it down intothose categories. Would they do that like
on a journal and like you know, columns or would they make a wheel
like you said, it's not flat, it's a wheel. How would they?
Yeah? So you can create yoursuccess as a wheel. So what
are the components of your success?So write and all down If it's like

(02:19):
three parts and it's three part pie, if it's six parts and it's six
parts, the same with balance,like, how do you define balance?
Is it about having best? Isit about having your own personal time?
Is it having your fake time?Is it having your exercise time? Because
balance for me and for you aredifferent, right, Like people have this
are chasing this idea of balance,but they haven't really broken down what those

(02:42):
components are. Kind of likely they'rethinking, hey, I want to eat
passa, but they never even thoughtof what are the ingredients of pasta that
they want to make the same withfulfillment. So what are in your fulfillment
pie? What are the slices ofyour fulfillment pie? So think of those
three as different eyes and think ofwhat are in my success pot? What
are in a balance pot? Whatare in my fulfillment part? And together

(03:06):
that's how you owe your difference.And with you only your difference, you
make a difference. Wow. Sothat's almost like a three point you know,
like platform, Right, you've gotsuccess, you've got balance, you've
got fulfillment and defining it. Youknow, I've never I've always talked about
and defining success, but I neverthought about that. We also need to
define balance, and we also needto define fulfillment. And those three right

(03:29):
there will create a stable plane.So to speak, right, you need
three points right, like a tricycle. Yes, those are three wheels of
a tricycle, right of your tricycleof life. Now, at some point
maybe you can add a fourth wheelto make it even more robust. But
I guess at this point this isgood enough to just give a taste of.
So if you want to create amore fulfilling, successful, balance life,

(03:53):
then it's about defining those tones,breaking it down, creating those wheels,
and understanding those wheels so that youcan move forward in that direction.
I think yes. And if youwant to make a difference, because everybody
wants to now, so making adifference, it's about you breaking those down.
That's the cave. Yes, onlywhen you own your difference. Only

(04:15):
when you're honest about what those slicesof pies are can you truly make a
difference. Otherwise you're creating something that'ssay old, say old right, very
cool. So that means that it'snot just doing it for the sake of
doing it, is doing it withthe intention of Okay, if you've now
decided that you want to make adifference with your life in whatever ecosystem,

(04:40):
whether it be just in your family, or maybe in your community, or
maybe in the planet. This isthe place to begin to rebuild those wheels.
So that'll take you there. Ohso simple, yet so very powerful.
