Visionary entrepreneurs tend to exhibit not only more resiliency then their less successful counterparts. But also life outlook and professional habits that continually expand their capacity for resilience.[00:02:00]That's why Connie and I continued our conversation. And this time we spoke about a 100 K loss dealing with betrayal and her turning point that took her from being burned by the industry to resiliently, committing to figuring it out.[00:02:17] Trina: If you missed it, make sure to go back and check it out.but don't go yet, folks.Over the next few weeks, I have a combination of some more great interviews. And solo episodes.This episode, is a special solo episode with me. On emotional intelligence specifically on how to increase your EQ starting with a super simple 30-Second practice.Highly successful entrepreneurial leaders tend to also have a higher than average EEQ. So it's easy as busy visionary entrepreneurial leaders with many demands on your attention to get caught up in the busy-ness of [00:03:00] business and to take your emotional intelligence for granted.The problem happens when you are dealing with subtle stressors, like chronic tolerations and small frustrations. Or getting irritated at minor mistakes, whether made by you or someone on your team, a client or a vendor. Or Either dreading conversations or experiencing miscommunications or getting frustrated with team members for not delivering to your expectation. Or even noticing yourself getting irritated at things you aren't usually irritated by. Then getting irritated at yourself for getting irritated in the first place. Or even noticing tiny mistakes or issues that slow your businesses. Momentum. And give you that sinking exhaustion that has you girding your loins, ready to wade into fixing the things that should have been done right the first time. It's easy and common to have the thought of, well, [00:04:00] that's the price of doing business. It doesn't have to feel that way though. Yes, mistakes and errors will happen.And business will feel like work. And does require us to put in the effort. And we can't control anything outside of our own selves.

There is a way to shift your own mental, emotional, and physical experience that can improve your results in your business, get you better results from your team and give you a more fulfilling life as an entrepreneurial leader. I'm Sharing a simple 30-Second method. To increase your EEQ to shift your mind, body and emotions so that you can start catching your mental, emotional, physical stress reaction either before it starts or before you get too deep into it.I originally recorded it live and wasn't using my sweet, sweet [00:05:00] microphone. So the audio is a little rough, but the lesson is clear. And I hope you enjoy it. Let's jump in[00:05:09] 30-Second Self Check-in Method[00:05:09] Trina: Hey folks. Hey, how's everybody doing today? I'm sharing with you the 30-Second Self Check-in Method to increase emotional intelligence for visionary entrepreneurs. Okay. So why "EQ", why emotional intelligence, emotional intelligence helps you transform how you react in stressful situations. It also changes how you operate in your business and daily life.. So what if you could reduce the amount of irritations and things that you tolerate? And improve the results that you get from your team. . Also how awesome would that be? . So the side effects include like better relationships in every aspect of your [00:06:00] life, as well as increasing your sense of fulfillment, you know?And so that success actually feels like success, right? So do me a favor, if any of this resonates share how this is landing for you.. Because I love getting that feedback and I love talking to you guys about this stuff. . So today, I, I was going through my daily practice well going through my day and just doing the things that I've always done and the things that I actually teach my clients to do, I walk my talk and I realized that I hadn't really spoken to you about it succinctly.And so this episode is going to be relatively. So just as a reminder of this is Trina . I'm a transformational resilience coach and I help success, stalking visionary entrepreneurial leaders, [00:07:00] like you to regulate your nervous systems so that you can quiet your inner critic, prime yourself for flow.And I'm talking neurological flow here, right? So that you can stop the overwork over-delivery overwhelm exhaustion cycle so that success can actually feel like success. And I'm also the host of the field guide to awesome podcast. And I interview multi-six and seven-figure entrepreneurs, and we dive into where they started the struggles they had along the way, and the unique way they think differently that's led to their current level of success.And so again, today I'm talking about the 30-Second Self Check-in Method, that helps you increase your emotional intelligence. So let's jump in. So high EQ helps you transform how you react in stressful situations, and it also changes how you operate in your business in your daily [00:08:00] life. And so these are big claims, right?They are. The big claims, but it's a simple process, this 30-Second Self Check-in Method,and it only takes 30 seconds to do, but it's going to take just a few minutes to tell you about what it is, how to do it and why this is all important. Okay. So often we are operating by default, and reacting to life events as they arise. And so imagine you're walking with a cup , and it's full to the brim of liquid and you're walking through life and, and it's a crowded life. You've got a lot going on. You have a lot of things that you're doing and . A lot of people that you're talking to, and, and you're carrying this cup of liquid and somebody bumps into you, what falls out?[00:09:00]Some people said, oh, it's coffee, coffee falls out. Oh, it's T T falls out, whatever falls out is whatever is in your cup. And so emotionally speaking, we are filled to the brim with emotions. We're filled to the brim with physical sensations. We're filled to the brim with thoughts, right? And so somebody bumps into you, the things that you are full of are going to spill out.So if you're full of frustration, exhaustion. And somebody bumps into you. what do you respond with? . And that may not be your normal, but imagine back to a time when you were frustrated or you were irritated or you were over tired, or you had something else that was preying on your mind and a stressful event.[00:10:00] Happens. Somebody bumps into you. Somebody says something that comes across as crappy. It wasn't their intention. Maybe it was, but we're not going to think about them. We're thinking about ourselves. All right. Somebody says something or you read something or you get a disappointing email. How do you respond?What falls out of your cup? Let's build. And then think to a time when you were feeling good, right? Everything you are calm, you're happy. You are filled with the sense of peace and wonder you were full in your known and flow. Somebody bumps into you. What falls out, curiosity, maybe concern a willingness to help.To listen, to hold the space. And so whatever you're [00:11:00] full of, that's what falls out. So how do we know what we're full of? And it can change moment to moment, hour to hour, day to day. Okay. So this 30-Second process is going to help you do that self check-in. So, you know, what's going on. And I'm going to share just the high overview right now.And we'll, I'll do other lives in the future so that we can really dive into exploring that maybe at some point I'll do actually a meditation. . But , this 30-Second process is something that you can do anytime. . And so I'm going to walk you through it. Ready? It's going to be exciting.It's also going to be super simple. Okay. So the first step is to pause for 30 seconds. And [00:12:00] during that 30 seconds, you're going to check in and say, ask yourself, what are the thoughts that I'm thinking? What is that thought?What emotion am I feeling? Name the emotion,and then what is going on in my body? What is my physical state? How does my body feel? So those are the three steps and it takes just 30 seconds to do just pause. I'm having this thought, oh, I feel this way. And this is how my body feels now. Oftentimes if the thought is not something that serves you in the direction that you want to go, because everything serves us, everything serves us to some degree or another.But it's whether or [00:13:00] not that thought is something that we desire to think. . So what is that thought? Just observe it and accept it. What does that feeling? What is that emotion and what is that physical sensation? Don't go into this with the need to change it. And this is really important.We don't do this process to change the thought, to change the emotion, to change the physical sensation, allow it to be as it is, just observe it. But the cool thing is that often when you have a thought , and you notice the emotion and you feel the physical sensation just by observing them, you'll notice that they start to shift a little.. The observation is the catalyst. . And that just, and a [00:14:00] catalyst is something that happens and something else. It doesn't, you don't go to change something. You're not adding making a chemical reaction, but the mere presence of the observation tends to shift what you think, how you feel and your physical sensation, your physical.Okay. Now you might wonder too, how often do I need to do this? Because look one 30-Second stint of checking in, you know, it's good for that 30 seconds for this next segment of your day, you know, to say, what am I feeling? And you have a better idea of like how you're going to react.So how often.As often as you need to. And in fact, the more often you do it, the faster that you're going to see a change. Now, some people might also think that [00:15:00] saving this process for when you're aware that you're thinking gremlin thoughts, limiting beliefs. Oh, I just had a limiting belief. . Or I'm feeling sad or I'm feeling exhausted at first.That may be the trigger for you to say, oh, I'm going to do this 30-Second check-in okay. But the key to creating a longterm shift is doing this process regularly. When I work with clients, we co-create a process so that they can remind themselves of when they're going to do it. And it's mindfully making a choice.And when we go about our day on default, we're just doing things and reacting to life as it happens. But when we take ourselves off default and act more mindfully, then [00:16:00] focusing. Choosing deliberately deciding to do this practice, you will notice there'll be times when you feel. What's my thought. Oh, I like that thought.What's my emotion. Oh, I feel, I feel good. I feel happy what's my physical sensation wheww. I feel relaxed, open and. I'm aware. And you're going to have times like that. That is great. Okay. And then the next hour that you do it. Oh, I had a bad thought. No thoughts are good or bad, but I had a thought that didn't feel, or my emotions.My emotion I'm sad. Or my physical sensation, I'm tired or I feel heavy or I feel pain in my body. Now I want to also give [00:17:00] you an example of a couple of times when I've done this for myself today. Earlier today, Wheww! I did a check-in and whew I felt a little sad. I started with my emotion this time.I felt a little sad. What was the thought that went through my head? I, oh, I don't know if I have the energy to do this today. You know, I'm feeling a little pressured and then the physical sensation was when I checked in, it was like, I am legitimately tired. I'm legitimately low energy at this moment in time.I didn't try to change it, but just by observing it, I could look at my physical sensation and see how it was informing my emotions and how my emotions were affecting how I thought. And when I realized why I was [00:18:00] tired. I went to a concert last night and didn't get home until very late. So no wonder I'm tired.No wonder my physical energy is a little bit low. Right? And so when I reflected on that, it's like all of a sudden my emotions changed and I gave myself some compassion. Now, none of this did I do on purpose? It was just natural. That's why I'm tired, you know? Cause I went out and I had fun. So my, my emotions came up.It's like, oh, I feel better. And then my thoughts were, it's like, yeah, I'm tired, but you know what? I can rally my energy. And there are things that I'm excited about doing today. . And that naturally changed. And then right before doing this live, I sat and did a self [00:19:00] in 30 seconds. I sat in and this time it went to my body were feeling some butterflies.And then I looked at my emotions and I was like, Hmm, I'm a little nervous. And then I went to. Thoughts. It's like, oh, but I haven't gone live for so long. What are people gonna think? And just automatically things started to shift for me. Okay. It's shifted. Like all of a sudden the butterflies went away, the emotions, I just got excited about doing this live and my thoughts changed to, well, they're going to hear from me now.Because this is something that I want to do and that I'm passionate about and that I love and that I enjoy. Okay. So those are just two moments that I wanted to share with you [00:20:00] of when I do this, but I do this self check-in quite often. . And one of the practices that I'm bringing back to myself as being more mindful of when I do these practices, because it has become second nature to me over the decades that I've been doing this work.. So that's one of the things that I'm doing for myself. And I encourage you try out this 30-Second practice. What is the thought that I'm thinking. Name the emotion that you're feeling right now and check in on your physical state. How is your body feeling? 30 seconds.Let me know if any of this resonated with you, if you're going to try out this practice or, Hey, if you've done this practice before. . And We'll talk to you later..I'd love for you to [00:21:00] tune in next week. Folks, I'll be sharing a little story about how travel has transformed my entrepreneurial journey. As well as informed my resilience coaching practice. I can't wait to share this with you. So tune in next week [00:22:00] [00:23:00]

Scavella. .[00:02:21] Interview Start[00:02:21] 1 Koni Scavella: Becoming the Difference-Maker, Reverse engineering her success and Niching profitably[00:02:21] Trina: Hi Koni. Thank you so much for joining me today.[00:02:24] Koni: Oh, it is my pleasure. I'm so happy to be here.[00:02:28] Trina: I'm thrilled to have you now, Koni, would you share with my audience a little bit? I introduced you before we started. But would you tell us a little story about like where you started to, where you are now?[00:02:42] Koni: Absolutely. So my journey started far, far, far away in a land called Germany. And so actually that's where I'm from my mother's German Austrian. My father is Italian, Puerto Rican, and I come out like this. So, [00:03:00] it was perfect. I had a wonderful childhood. Bucollic beginnings. And then it all came to a screeching halt when we came to America. And the reason I bring this up is, you know, I don't want to go back to the, you know, the cradle days, but it's important because when I came to America, that's when everything changed.[00:03:18] Trina: How old were you when you came to America?[00:03:23] Koni: That's going to be another point. I'm a little challenged by that. Believe it or not still is because I had a near-death experience, which I lost a lot of memory, a lot of concepts of time. So I have no concept of time. And so people would say, well, how old were you then? And what were you doing in 1990? And where were you there? And I have zero ability to gauge that to a timeframe. But I would say somewhere around nine or 10 or something like that. And, but it was so different. Right. And when I came to America, I had [00:04:00] no idea that I was different. In Europe everything looked the same. There was no biases.It wasn't about how much money do you have? Where do you come from? You know, who were your parents? We didn't have any of that. And if we did, my mother did a great job of not letting us know. So when we came to America, I was completely different. Right. I looked different. In the suburbs we lived in, everybody was blonde, blue eyes, thin lipped and, and little tiny little people.And here I am, five, nine, you know, dark hair, thick eyebrows, full lips of, and really long thick hair. And I was completely an outcast. And of course I sounded funny because I still had an accent. So you know how kids are very cruel growing up before there was a name for it, there was bullying. And so I was.The tail end of that, the harsh end of that. And [00:05:00] it was really hard. And then I finally kept coming to my mom. I mean, the beat ups were terrible. And I said, you know, we gotta do something here to stop this. And so I was tutored how to speak English without an accent. I speak five languages, but then my mother did something brilliant and she said, Koni, you're always going to be different.And your difference is the differenceMaker.. And so that was my rock. That's what I leaned on. And that was sort of my own name. I call him an auto responder. I'd always play that automatically. If somebody said something to me and that became a theme for me. And so going into school, I was different.I started studying, okay, well, who are the different people and how do you not have disharmony by being different? How do you have to blend in? So very early age, I became a student of human behavior. And so I realized [00:06:00] to be popular means you're safe. So we thought, okay, I'll be popular. So it became popular.And that lasted for a while. It's like imposter syndrome in high school.[00:06:11] Trina: Yes. Yes.[00:06:12] Koni: Right. And so I morphed, but I was miserable. And so then I was walking down the streets of Seattle. And I got discovered by an agent and started modeling and they said, well, you're not the "look". You don't look, you know, like an American model, we'll have to send you to Europe.And that was music to my ears and off I went. So all of a sudden the thing that people would make fun of me and laugh and point and jeer was the thing that made me millions of dollars before I could get a driver's license. And so that completely changed me and it solidified. What my mother said, right.My difference is going to be the difference maker. And so that's how it started. And then I went into multiple careers. It seems like all of them started with [00:07:00] M. So I went from modeling. I went into medicine and to the field of medicine, again, completely out of my element became the fastest rising youngest, female, and the third largest $200 billion pharmaceutical company.And I did it how all off of launching, I became an expert and I created a new way. That was my way to launch new drugs.. And so, that was the thing, you know, back in the day. So that became my thing. I went from there. I went into the money field, finance mortgage companies. I did it different. I didn't know what I was doing.Again. I go into everything cold what's going on, locked myself in my house for three months and tried to figure out the internet. And so I became one of the largest mortgage companies in the country in 13 states. Of course I thought, well, what do I do next has to start with an "M" so, I thought, well, I haven't done motor sports.And so I [00:08:00] started a professional racing company.. And so we raced all over the country and I wore every hat but the helmet and then I went into studying the mind and that's where I really kind of came full circle and started looking at what changes people, what makes people Excel and what makes people fail.And I looked at, is there a syntax of failure and a syntax of success that we could follow? Is there a formula for that? And I spent 12 years looking into that and doing that and I realized, oh, this is what I did. Has it right. Trying to fit in. I studied human behavior and then I realized I've spent 12 years studying predictable human behavior.And how do you perform in different environments to get the maximum success out of that? And so I'm out of "M's". I suppose now I take people from six figures to seven figures in a year. So I help people become millionaires in a year.[00:08:56] Trina: There you go.[00:08:57] Koni: But I think I have to stop here because I can't [00:09:00] find any more M's that I could complete, but that's the whole journey.And each one of those was a piece, right. A piece to a puzzle. And every single time I had a pattern and I would go into something completely new, I'd be the outcast. I'd still always be made. Fun of people would bet against me in one place, they had a football pool bet. One of those, you know, things where you pick a square.[00:09:24] Trina: Yeah.[00:09:25] Koni: I didn't know this until about four months in that they all picked a square. Like what month and day would I quit and leave? Because of the harassment. So, you know, you just, you deal with what you deal with. But I think once I realized my difference was the difference maker I was unbreakable.[00:09:46] Trina: Such an incredible story. And before people, listeners, before you think, oh, I can't identify with this story because it sounds like she started with success right away. You [00:10:00] didn't, you started off with bullying. You started off with being the underdog and trying to figure things out. But very early on, it sounds like you were quite fortunate with your mother who says your strength is the thing that is stumbling you right now.And that is you are a difference maker. You are a change maker, you're a difference maker. You're different and that is your strength. And it's so exciting to see how you, you pick that up and ran with it. With each new business that you got into you pretty much just picked an M field and said, I'm a do that.[00:10:47] Koni: Yeah.[00:10:48] Trina: I would do that and figure it the heck out. So let me ask you this. You experienced quote unquote imposter [00:11:00] syndrome. When you were a kid, how did you find, or did you find that similar things kept coming up for you in each new level of business that you went into?[00:11:13] Koni: Oh, you know, it's so funny, you think? Okay, well I've mastered it. I got, I got success at this level and it's just going to continue. And it doesn't, it is that onion, right. I just peel that layer and now, oh no, I'm starting a new layer, right? It's like picking at a wound, right? Sure. It has a scab on it.It's sealed up and then you pick at it now it's totally exposed again. And every new place I went. It's almost like I just needed to keep shedding layers and layers and layers like a snake, every new place I went, imposter syndrome came up and for me, I have a short attention span. Right. I, I love the challenge.I have most entrepreneurs are like this, right? Where we [00:12:00] have ideas, we're visionaries and we want to create and then now you take over, right? I'm not going to go create something new. Most of us are designed that way and I'm no different, but each time I want to go into something new, I realize, I don't know anything about this.So, I would have to study, I have a researcher's brain, I'd study everything, trying to figure things out. That was my. One of my I guess superhero qualities, I was just a constant researcher. And so then I'd figure it out. And then I do it now. I never figured it out well or perfectly, or like anybody else.[00:12:38] Trina: So, let me interrupt for a second, because there's so much in there. You overcame perfectionism, you weren't trying to do everything perfectly. You were an action taker, you were curious and you saw something that caught your attention. And I'm going to figure out how to [00:13:00] do that. Is, is this viable?Let me figure it out. It's like, oh, this is doable from the little that I know about it so far. And then you take, start taking steps. You take the steps that you are that you understand that. And each step you take you understand more and you can take the next step.[00:13:21] Koni: Exactly. You did such a great job of unpacking that like you exactly. And so what, what I finally realized, and honestly it took me until the last three years after some huge failures I suppose we'll get to those too.[00:13:37] Trina: Oh, yes.[00:13:38] Koni: so after some huge failures, I'm like, what is going on? Why am I failing more massively now than I ever have?And why did I not fail before? And so what I started doing is exactly like what you said, I had to reverse engineer, what was I doing? Right. And in different areas in [00:14:00] different environments. And then how do I repeat that success? And I, and I look at it from all avenues, right? From the way I am internally to the way I am externally.But most important of all is my mind, my consciousness, how am I thinking, how am I believing then? How am I feeling? And how am I acting? And those are the key things that have to happen, right? What is that first thought? And that first thought is that first thought, the second, my eyes open, what is that?Right. And for me, somebody told me about Napoleon hill long time ago. Now I remember this year because. It was just so pivotal and it was 1989 and I saw it and I got the book in an audio tape to go with it. That's just telling you how old it is. And I did it and I followed all the chapters and I was absolutely addicted to the mastermind principle and [00:15:00] surrounding myself with amazing people.Now, if I didn't have him physically, I made them up in my head and that's exactly what the principal talks about. And so I had amazing success again. So I took little things like that and where I had amazing success, I'd hang on to it. The things that led to repeated slide backs or falls, then I'd figure out, okay, where was the, where was the gap?And now I analyze it and then I either let it go or fix it, but I never really got stuck on something. And think this is important for people to understand, especially as things are changing so fast right now, right? You're looking at Moore's laws, the advance of technology, things are going faster than we can keep up with.And that's another thing that ignites imposter syndrome. Like I was just barely keeping up, but now it's going twice as fast. Right. You have to look at what can you do and what can't you do? Part [00:16:00] of that comes down to really knowing yourself. Intimacy is key with, with business and with clients these days with too much technology, but also self intimacy and self integrity and honesty.Like I can't do that or that's not my thing and just admit it and move on. And that is, is one of the keys which we can talk about later, as far as what I would call singularity. I am really good at a very few number of things. I strive for excellence in it. I don't care about perfection because I believe we're all perfect with everything.We know, every experience we had. We're perfect, but I still want excellence and I still want to be iconic and preeminent. And so I'll strive for that. But I can only do that in certain places and the rest, forget it, cooking, forget it, cleaning, forget it. You know, doing my books for get it right. So you have to be honest.[00:16:59] Trina: That's when you [00:17:00] hire[00:17:00] Koni: a team.Yes, exactly. And say, what can you do? And what can you not do? And you know, in, in the coaching consulting environments, the same thing you want to know who is that exact audience for you? Right. I can show anybody how to make a million dollar business. But who do I really, really work best with. Right. And once I narrow that down, realizing that audience is so tiny, that's when everything grew.[00:17:29] Trina: Yeah. Narrowing your niche so you can speak directly to them. Like you're speaking to one person.[00:17:40] Koni: Yes. Yeah, absolutely. And you know, it's such a big, like stumbling block for people that like, oh, I can't find my niche. I run into coaches two, three years down the road. They're not going to, I'm still working on my niche. I almost have it. You know, and then six months later they're bored with it and they're going down another [00:18:00] rabbit trail.But what I want to tell people is stop looking at the market and start looking at the problem. Right. Niche, the problem, not the market. Right. And you know, that niche is not that 35 year old woman with a Volvo and the white picket fence who lives in the suburbs of Pennsylvania with two kids, one in college.That's not it. It is what is that problem? What is that earth shattering thing that they can't sleep. They don't want anyone to know that that bothers them, that they're covering up. But gosh, if you could, if you could fix it, if you could find this, you could give them a way I'd give you anything. And when you can find that niche, it's golden.[00:18:47] Trina: it is golden. Oh, speak to the problem. Speak to the problem.[00:18:54] Koni: Absolutely.[00:18:56] Trina: Koni, thank you so much for such a [00:19:00] long, beautiful conversation. What do you have exciting coming up in the next 12, 24 months?All excited about[00:19:09] Koni: oh, I, I am so excited all the time. So a couple of things. And so because I believe so much in people being their unique self every oh, about every two months I teach a free workshop called the celebrity factor where you actually take yourself and up your celebrity factor, not the influencer side of things.That is not at all what we're talking about, but we're talking about being iconic thinking of those, you know, the Audrey Hepburn's and the, the classic black and white. Looks, you know, even the Jackie Kennedy-esk type of things that you see and they have such longevity and, and there are classics and you[00:19:57] Trina: The difference between style and [00:20:00] beds[00:20:00] Koni: yes, yes.And the Coco Chanel. Right. So that aspect of it, where, you know, you can say something and everybody almost gets that same picture. And to boost that because that's how your business stays, right? Otherwise you are a fad and you're just hopping from platform to platform. And so it's important to be independent of the market and the platforms, but to be your own icon.So, I do that five, six times a year, and then I do have a new book coming out. I've written two so far soar and the power of her wish. And then the new book is called beyond mindset. And it's really. About a lot of these principles that we talked about, how do you go beyond not the fixed and the growth mindset and your positive or your negative.It's about really elevating your whole consciousness and into whole different field where the miraculous happens all the time. And when you have that level and [00:21:00] you elevate your mind, your business will skyrocket as well. So that,[00:21:04] Trina: brilliant. And listeners, those links will be in the show notes,[00:21:08] Koni: yes.[00:21:11] Trina: Koni, It has been an absolute pleasure and honor talking with you today.[00:21:15] Koni: Thank you so much for the invitation My pleasure.[00:21:18] Interview End[00:21:18] Trina: we'll be talking again with Koni Scarvella, a few episodes from this one about how she recovered from a major emotional and financial setback.

In my [00:01:00] last episode, I spoke again with Willow Sana. Willow has been a self-employed creative for over 20 years. She's a sought after business coach who empowers visionary entrepreneurs with heart-centered action. And we talked about what you need to do before you can show up powerfully and compassionately for others. If you missed it, make sure to go back and check it out. But don't go yet. Folks. My next guest is Lauren Hughes, serial entrepreneur, realtor, and investor, currently working on her fifth business. Hugh's capital. She started it last year and she's planning to grow it to be over 10 million within the next five to seven years. Lauren and I are talking about radical. Self-acceptance and about what she thought was a weakness and how it became her superpower. Join me in welcoming, Lauren Hughes    [00:01:47] open loop--- [00:01:48] Trina Serrecchia: I want to go back really quickly to talk about when you talk about decisions and from my research, from working with high level people, [00:02:00] the rapidity of. Decisions making fast decisions and failing fast. Now I use fail as [00:02:09] Lauren Huges: no. I like to fail fast because it's not, I don't see failure as a negative. Right. My negative is when you quit and you quit without a real reason. And that's that's the negative, but failure. [00:02:21] Trina Serrecchia: It's, you've just learned one way that it hasn't worked yet. Exactly. [00:02:25] Lauren Huges: And next time you're going to be faster. [00:02:28] Trina Serrecchia: Yeah. And it's, it's like you're creating a field guide. It's like, well, that doesn't work. So let's try this new thing. When things don't work, as you expect. It sounds as if that you were telling yourself a different story than what you would have told yourself earlier in your career. [00:02:46] Lauren Huges: Yes. I would have told myself a gentler story, I think at the beginning and it's not, and I think it takes maybe more courage or maybe. I in order to have courage, you have to [00:03:00] be afraid, I suppose. So, when at the beginning I think I tried to, put stuff under the rug and not oh, that's not important versus, now it's yeah, you know what? I'm going to have bad thoughts, or I'm going to have bumps that aren't great. Or, this little dumpster fire needs to be dealt with now. Let's not push it off for another week or, and something. And just accepting that. That's just me versus trying to like, oh, that part doesn't exist. And the reality oh, no, it does. It's just going to get bigger if you don't address it. [00:03:34] Trina Serrecchia: Yeah. And early on, it's easy to avoid. And hide and bury things as you develop as an entrepreneur, as a leader you learn that, you can't ignore those things because they do get worse. They do, they do get worse. And then as you get further on in your business, you realize that. You know what? I don't have to be afraid [00:04:00] of it. I can deal with it now. It may be unpleasant now, but it's going to be a lot worse later. So let me take care of it now. And it's okay. [00:04:07] Lauren Huges: Yeah. And I think that's the biggest thing is because before I was, so I think, so it comes back to the [00:04:14] Trina Serrecchia: story of let's hide that because I'm embarrassed about it. I'm scared about it. I'm not able to deal with it. And so the new story is it's okay. I can do something about it now. It's more empowered. Yeah, the story that you're telling yourself as more empowered. [00:04:30] Lauren Huges: Brilliant. I love that it's more empowered. And I think that, that goes a lot with, self-acceptance and we don't have to be these perfect people because there that doesn't exist. And, and just because, I'm not a great speller doesn't mean. Cool. I use spellcheck or, it's not negative. I think, it's not, we don't live in the, leave it to beaver era anymore where people are perfect or consider, we're [00:05:00] just who we are and it's not negative or positive. It's just, we just are who we are. And we're perfect. Just the way that we are which might be a little bit. Shay, but I think it it's very true. It's very true. Accepted. [00:05:14] Trina Serrecchia: Perfection does not exist. Perfection keeps us in inaction and it keeps us in anxiety and it keeps us in shame. When we let go of the need for perfection and we allow ourselves to just be who we are. And, and knowing that as who we are is enough are what we had originally thought of as our weaknesses or our failures. As human creatures are actually our super powers because it allows us to think a little differently to solve problem, solve a little differently. And to feel enough because we are enough. Yeah. [00:05:56] Lauren Huges: Yeah, very important words right there. And it's, it's, [00:06:00] we are enough and perfection doesn't exist. I know that we're about to run out of time, but I have actually, I had a complex with being perfect for a long time. And it would tell us about [00:06:11] Trina Serrecchia: that story. I have time if you have [00:06:13] Lauren Huges: time. I do. And I actually put myself in the hospital twice because of it. Because of anxiety because of trying so hard to be perfect. I then learned what a panic attack was. Oh, body goes numb and you think you're dying, but it's all. It's all in your head and discovery. It was fun and an expensive little endeavor, but I'm glad to know I wasn't dying. So that was the good part. But when your whole body goes numb, you don't know. You're just like, I can't feel my arms. And that actually happened to me. I think between 20 and 22, it was kind of too. And then I had to take a step back. Cause it's this is not, this is not productive. If B and I was when I was in college and I [00:07:00] was struggling to not fail my classes. And it kind of goes back to the, I struggle on tests and actually one of the panic attacks was in a calendar. Calculus exam and I just panicked. And so, and I think that's when I have to start to give up this whole perfection that you think that you have to be perfect or I did for a very long time. And. But it was caused like putting yourself into the hospital. Most people don't do that. So I'm really good at failing fast or, having to address some or I like, I'm very intense maybe. And so I'm going to bring something to the extreme, which is good to know about my personality. And, but it made me, I had to deal with it. This, with this, this is not like you, you don't want to keep doing this. And now, I haven't had a panic attack. I don't think in. I don't know, 10 years or so, but I know the warning signs and that's when I, that's when you get your self reflection and you can. But, and letting go of the perfection and if something is messed [00:08:00] up, it's okay. We can fix it. And that took me a long time to understand if that makes sense. [00:08:09] Trina Serrecchia: It does. I mean, perfection is, and it comes from, our childhood or, we can't show weakness. We have to be perfect to fit in. And it sounds that as you released that need for perfection, you became healthy. Absolutely. You learn to reflect more. You grew as a human being and you started to see what were your weaknesses? What were your failures as superpowers? You're you're. Different way of thinking as a superpower, the way which [00:08:49] Lauren Huges: is it's, it is a super power. If I, I would not be where I'm at. If I wasn't just the way that I am with, Different which is, it takes a long time to, [00:09:00] accept our uniqueness, which is legitimately our superpower. [00:09:05] Trina Serrecchia: Yeah. I want to give you some kudos on, actually getting to the point where you were having panic attacks that you need even needed to be hospitalized for and finding your way out. What was the. Early on. What was the key to that with? Just recognizing that you had panic attacks and stopping the, [00:09:32] Lauren Huges: stopping the cycle. Yeah. And I would say the cycle. It, it's that, it's almost that imposter syndrome, I think, but when you don't deal with it, it gets to a point where, you can't feel your body or I would. And so if I ever. And that's what happens when you skirt stuff under the rug auger. That's what happens when I skirt stuff under the rug. And so I noticed that I have a cycle if I get, if I start to [00:10:00] get anxious. And it's all because I don't want to fail. Right. And so that's where my, my anxiety comes from is I want to produce well, or at the time I was like, I have to be perfect. I can't have any flaw oh my gosh. If I have lipstick on my teeth, it'll be the worst day of my life. When in reality, It doesn't matter. Probably no one noticed if they did, they're going to forget within two minutes because it's really not that important. And so with that cycle, I learned that, if I start to get anxious that's why I take little, like many walks if I remove myself from a situation and then it's, and then it's fine. But it took me a long time to, realize. Like all the triggers were coming from me, not wanting to fail or trying to be perfect. Me trying to be, fit in. And when I was not doing that, like failing my calculus exam it was me. Or that concern of, oh my gosh, I'm not going to fit in. Someone's going to judge me. [00:11:00] I'm going to look stupid. And so I think now it's, I, you deal with it head on and if you fail, just take it again. It's okay. Try, it's, as long as, and I changed the town, my mindset thought of failure and, failure, failure's not a bad thing, but knowing if I start to get angry that's usually the cause. And it goes back to, when I was little, saying that I was not going to succeed. And so it's I know the warning signs now and it's just, and why, I don't think failure is like a negative, it's a learning experience. Which is the mind's very. And understanding how to like, just make small little tweaks. It has helped. And one of the biggest things that's helped is just listening to other people's stories with the books on tape [00:11:46] Trina Serrecchia: and knowing [00:11:46] Lauren Huges: that you're not alone. Yes. And that it's normal. Just no one ever talks about it. No one ever admits it, but. We're all, we're all very similar in the, the struggles that we go through and we, different people are struggling with different things at different times and [00:12:00] at different degrees, but, we aren't alone and we just don't talk about it very much because we have this perception of, we have to, be perfect. [00:12:10] Trina Serrecchia: Yeah. Yeah. None of us are perfect people. Not even you, not me. So Lauren, thank you so much for being so candid, so vulnerable and sharing about your story. What do you have coming up in the next. 12 to 18 months that you're excited about. [00:12:32] Lauren Huges: Ooh. Yeah, that's a great, that is a great question. So I am now working a hundred percent on or a full-time I should say which I define as 40 to 60 hours, which is kind of a lot mostly focused on real estate. Expanding the mine. Real estate portfolio and expanding the, the amount of real estate I move in a given year in Denver and Boulder, [00:13:00] Colorado. [00:13:02] Trina Serrecchia: Awesome. [00:13:03] Lauren Huges: Yeah. So that's my, that's the primary focus right now, which I'm really excited about. And it's, it's nice that, well, I loved it for a long time and I'm glad that. We've reached this point and being able to expand at the rate we are which is, it's, it's not, what does that expansion look like? Yeah, absolutely. So the expansion from my investment portfolio, it, it took a, it took, I think. Oh, darn near 10 years to get to a million dollar portfolio. And now I'm able to grow it at an over a million dollars a year. But it didn't start that way. And so now we're working on the next five years or so to get it up to 10 million. But it. It took a very long time to get the wheels, wheels turning. And we're right at the cusp of, I guess, scaling would be the proper term. We're right at the cusp of, [00:14:00] working 12 years on this project, it's now starting to really move. So there's 12 years behind the scenes that no one saw. And to get to the point that now. Now it's just, it, it looks easy. And so that's, it's not but we're at the point where, the perception is it's easy, which is a good place to be because the struggle is it was 12 years, [00:14:24] Trina Serrecchia: 12 years. That there is a saying that, you have to work repeat something 10,000 times to be an expert. And you've, it sounds like you've done that. And over already in what you've done, what you're doing and. I think looking at when you are going through those 10,000 steps, even if you're early on in your entrepreneurial journey. Imposter syndrome is going to come up. If you were doing anything new, like you're going from where you are [00:15:00] now a million dollar business to multi-million dollar business. Right. You're, you're going to have to find new ways to do that. And, and that means that as entrepreneurs we're always. Imposters, because we're doing something where we're trying to do something that we haven't done yet. We're creating solutions that haven't been created before. And so we're always going into. Try stepping into our next level self who we, who are million dollar multi-million dollar self is, is very different from who we are now. And, but slowly step-by-step, we're embodying that person. And so until we're there until we have it, then yes, we are a little bit of an imposter. And something that I've seen in most. Of the people that I've worked with is that they're always trying to grow and expand [00:16:00] and [00:16:02] Lauren Huges: always growing and growing, expanding. I think you hit the nail on the head is entrepreneurs by definition. We kind of are imposters a little bit because we're trying something new. And so it's always, we, it is kind of can be seen as an imposter and that's, we have to embrace that. Instead of letting us it stopped. Yeah. Which I think is, and that's the biggest key to my success or what I think the biggest key has been. And it's not that I have any innate ability or I'm not like this super person it's that I don't quit. It's that when we get knocked down, we get back up and it's, that part is, I mean, it's, it's simple, but it's not easy. Sounds [00:16:45] Trina Serrecchia: great up and are happy all the time. There've been times that I've fallen and you just sit there, cry for a second. You climb back up and sing up, but I don't want it, but I got gotta. And then you're up and then you're off and running again. [00:16:57] Lauren Huges: Absolutely. Yes. And it's, it's all [00:17:00] about, getting up and doing it again the next day. And that's what makes that imposter. Say what you want, let's address it and we'll be better today than you were yesterday. And it's, it's simple, it's not easy, [00:17:12] Trina Serrecchia: it's simple. It's not easy. And if you can be 1% better than you were yesterday, if you could do just one little bit that. A little bit better than you did yesterday. And you did that every day for a year, your 365% better then. A year ago. Yeah. [00:17:38] Lauren Huges: So love that. You said that because that is actually, my goal is to be 1% better. There's a book atomic habits. Yes. I love that. And it's, and that, that has been a game changer because it's 1% it's not that. 1% changes and I love that that's brilliant. And it's it's baby steps. And, we don't see the progress from day to day, but [00:18:00] from one year. Oh, that's, that's huge. [00:18:03] Trina Serrecchia: Yeah. Yeah. And there's but ice cube principle is also something that I'm fascinated with. Because, when we do like 1% better, we don't always see the improvement right away. But the ice cube say, if you start at a hundred degrees below freezing, right, and each day you increase the temperature by one degree each day, another degree, but you're not seeing that ice cube melt yet. Right. You're not seeing that ice cube melt yet. And it can be frustrating. It's like what? I'm increasing the temperature. Why isn't the ice cube melting you're hundred degrees below zero. So each time you increase, you increase, you increase. And then once you get to two degrees below, zero. Below freezing the next couple of degrees, you increase, it's become a habit it's become easier [00:19:00] to do because you've kept up with that. Then, then once you go up above freezing that ice cube is going to melt fast. And that is what overnight success looks like. [00:19:13] Lauren Huges: I love that, that I love that. Yeah, cause it's spot on. Yeah, [00:19:21] Trina Serrecchia: Lauren. Oh goodness.

And We'll be talking about what you need to do before you can show up powerfully and compassionately for others. Join me in welcoming, Willow Sana.  [00:01:41] Willo's Interview--- [00:01:41] Trina: Willow. Thank you so much for joining me again. We had such an amazing conversation last time, and I'm just thrilled that you're back and I'm ready to dig in. Again, there was so much gold in that last conversation. [00:01:56] Willo: Yeah, me too. I mean, if you, and I could probably talk all [00:02:00] day, but I'm really, really excited to help expand upon that. Anyone who really got some big sparks and things lit up for them, or they were curious, we are going to dive into it and give some juicy details, right now.. [00:02:12] Trina: Yeah, so, and listeners, one of the things that we talked about last time was canceled culture, the which wound and how it's more important than ever to source within and to speak our truth. And I'd love to jump in and talk about cancel culture first because cancel culture, it, we see it a lot in politics, but when we look in to the business world, We see entrepreneurs really creative. Heart-centered. Entrepreneurs who are sharing of themselves. I mean, they wouldn't be doing that. I mean, being an entrepreneur is not the easiest job. There are easier ways to make money, but these entrepreneurs, if they're anything like you, if they're anything like me, they're here to make an impact. And, and this is the only [00:03:00] way that they can see to make the kind of impact that they desire. And so I know from those that I know. You'll have to tell me if it's the same for you, which I'm pretty sure it is that they're passionate about what they do. They believe in what they do and they're sharing from their heart and they're sharing their truth. And when they go online and it's sad to say that, that there are some out there, who poop on their parade? Who, who criticized, who cut them down, who try to cancel them because they're not perhaps maybe mainstream or they speak about something that the person who's commenting doesn't understand. How do you see that happening in the [00:04:00] world of social media? [00:04:03] Willo: Yeah, well, in particular, you hit the nail on the head because one of the things I want to presence here, that's at the root of. Cancel culture is ultimately judgment. And so often, Brené Brown has that beautiful quote about how, essentially something about being in the arena. Right. And how so often there's people that are, throwing the stones and casting the judgment, but they're not even in the area. Yeah. I'm no expert on cancel culture, but it is. I always really presents it as, because the thing is, this is that if you are watching and you are watching, possibly leader people, you know, who have been taken down specially, I mean, we've seen this so much as we've, black lives matter. That's come around. Really being aware of racism amongst, and just the entire thing we've seen with race and really [00:05:00] acknowledging privilege as a white woman. And so lots of white coach, white women coaches have been torn down in the last year or two. Of course white men, me too movement. Right? It's just, it's across the board. That there's a lot of this. So as we're seeing it, we cannot unsee it. Right. And these little things are living not only in our nervous system, but also in truly our DNA and our ancestry from a long, long time. That's where we linked it to the witch wound. So the one piece I want to presence here is recognizing how often judgment. Comes from this, like, or cancel culture comes from judgment it's it was absolutely. I think I there's a, a core value that is being triggered for people when they are wanting to stand up for what's. Right. And I get that. I totally get that. And there's a point we've seen where it has gone to.[00:06:00] Style. And so it's just presencing that even if you're just witnessing it and you are like, you only have a couple of hundred followers on Instagram, or you're just starting your little tiny baby business. These are the things that are all of a sudden making you be like, well, shit, I better not speak up. I better not actually make waves or that might be me too. And so even though you're mild, Away from that ever happening, you're still being impacted it cause it already, your nervous system is how to, you haven't even gotten to the point of expanding your nervous system to potentially have, I wasn't of followers let alone tens of thousands of followers, but this happens at every level. There's people also that are at, 10 and 20,000 and they're afraid to go bigger. They're afraid to claim we have many layers, right. That we're peeling off. So, yeah, but just recognizing it, acknowledging that this judgment often is something that I always think about this. When I hear somebody who has a lot of judgment or criticism for others is how much [00:07:00] criticism and judgment they must have for themselves. [00:07:03] Trina: Yes. You spoke so many powerful things right in there, and I need to unpack some of them. There was so much in there. Okay. So I absolutely love that. You talked about energy, that you talked about judgment because those things go together. When I talk about energy, energy is the ability to do work and work is the ability to create change. And when you were talking about judgment, judgment limits our view.. It reduces the amount of opportunities we see and the, the opportunities that we can grasp the opportunities are always there right out in front of us offering themselves up to us. But if we can't see them, we can't grab them [00:07:54] Willo: We're judging other people. Because we [00:08:00] also hold ourselves, we are, we're judging ourselves so harshly and it just spills out. I mean, ultimately, even on some of the work that I do, right, this is the, the villain, the villain wants to point fingers at other people and blame people and make them wrong. Well, we also have villains that point, our fingers at ourselves. Of what's the matter with you, what's wrong with you. You're not doing this right. You don't know what you're doing. Right. And so there's some element and that's where then we get into this power dynamic, right? Where the ego feels so satisfied by making someone else wrong because that all of a sudden it somehow makes us feel superior or better. [00:08:43] Trina: Right. Energy is so, interesting in how we judge. Because we can judge at many different levels. And you were just talking about when we judge other people, how are we judging ourselves the same way?[00:09:00] [00:09:00] Willo: Yeah, yeah, exactly. And it just recognizing that ultimately there's, it's almost like, hurt people, hurt people, you know, there's and, and actually even in this, a lot of what we're seeing is as we're shifting our relationship with power and all of this, there's actually elements of which we're raising massive awareness around oppression yeah. So whether it's your voice has been oppressed, you have been oppressed at a, as a race, as a culture, whatever that may be there is oppression. And I think some of the, kinks that we're working out as people are starting to truly like educate themselves on. all of us are start having to educate ourselves. We're all seeing new things clearer. We're learning as a, literally a human race together in this. But as we work out those kinks, some of the things that happen is oppressed people, oppress people. They [00:10:00] it's genuinely. And again, I'm not saying. It's not okay to stand up for our rights, and to really care about something that you are willing to like fight for it. Hell Yes.. Right. It's I think I just have such compassion for the individual at the core of it. And in particular, those who by proxy are seeing this and having it be any kind of an invitation or. red flag for you to stay quiet or stay small. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, wait a second. We need you to actually rise up. So if I can help you find your voice, speak your truth, feel more confident and grounded within yourself so that you can powerfully show. Heck. Yes. Cause then we're all gonna benefit from that, right? [00:10:48] Trina: Yes. Yeah. And it's important to understand that people react from where they are from their experience and to have that compassion when it [00:11:00] is obvious that they're hurting in some way that they're angry in some way. And knowing. That anger, that hurt is not yours. You have your own, you have your own, but how can you have compassion for them? And when you have compassion for yourself, you'd know what it feels like. So it starts with you first. [00:11:21] Willo: That's exactly right. Yeah. The core of all of my work is just this deep self-acceptance self-compassion because when you have that for yourself, you're then yeah. You're not running around blaming other people. You're not. You're going around and judging other people or telling them they're wrong or bad, or just going around and telling yourself that you're wrong or you're bad, or you can't figure this out or whatever those things, all of those are limiting. This is, I know you're jam too. My eyes are all limiting beliefs and that's genuinely at the core. What is driving so much of this, right? What are the thoughts and the beliefs and the feelings that are creating this [00:12:00] entanglement, right. When our purpose here, the other side, and what's possible is being a conscious, clean, clear beacon of truth. And that usually when you're in your own lane and you're just like, totally here downloading your message. You're recognizing that it's not for everybody. We cannot be everything for everybody. And you're also recognizing it's going to reach the ears and hearts and the lives of those who need it. And that there's plenty of room. [00:12:32] Trina: There is plenty of room. People can hear things a million times from a million voices, but the moment that they hear it from you, It will click for them. All of a sudden it will be as if they have never heard it before. And especially not in the way that you shared it and you'll sparkle, you'll sparkle in their eyes. [00:12:58] Willo: And we're not for everybody, there's [00:13:00] so many messengers out there that you, that people don't, they don't like the message, so they won't even listen to it. Right. And that's the thing I always say to all my clients. I'm like, there's a lot of business coaches out there, but you chose to work with me. There's a resonance. And there's other people that didn't choose to work with me. And they chose to work with somebody that I would never work with, but they chose to work with them. Right. So I'm not here to be something for everybody. Right. I'm not, I'm not for everyone. And that's okay. But those who are right for me, But those reach you and find you, they're like, oh my God, this is exactly what I was looking for. And that's beautiful. And there's, like I said, plenty of space. In fact, I wanted to connect this back to what you were saying earlier about judgment. Oh, often judgment is coming for and criticism is coming from a place of not enough scarcity, right? So when we can be living in that overflow of love and acceptance for [00:14:00] ourselves, and then others, not to know this is not a Pollyanna, unicorns and puppies, and everything has to be great spiritual bypassing world, but it's genuinely just recognizing. If we are not so critical of ourselves and others and, and committed to tearing people down, wow, what else could emerge? What else could be possible in our lives? Right. [00:14:22] Trina: Absolutely. Absolutely. And I love that you brought up spiritual bypassing. That is one of the things that is one of my pet peeves. Where everything is sunshine and roses. The coaches blowing sunshine up your butt and everything is easy. If you think it's easy when they're not tying it back to their own experience, when they're not being authentic, things do get to be easy if you allow them to be easy. But at first they're going to feel. And it's going to take work [00:15:00] to change how you feel, and you have to go in deep and really do that inner work of shifting how you feel, because you can say money comes to me easily. But if inside, if your gut is feeling like, no, it ain't, all I see is lack, but I'm just saying the words then no money is not going to come to you easily. It's a full mind, body and emotional tie in. [00:15:29] Willo: Yeah. And it is. Either the only way is through, to really, we have to truly feel it. I always like to say too, that it's, I mean, this is shadow work ultimately, right. Which is that we've got to be willing to face what is not working. And that means even in the limiting beliefs piece, I know you and I both work with it's like we have to first surface and name and see clearly what are the tapes that have been playing? What are the [00:16:00] scripts that have been playing that are actually. Usually oppressing you, keeping you small, keeping your voice, damped quiet, keeping your light, from, from shining too bright. Right? So when you can actually recognize what are cause you have unique scripts, yours are unique to you. Mine are unique to me. We might have some overlap in some but it's genuinely, we have to name those first so that we can start consciously. We have to bring them from the subconscious nonconscious to the current. So we can start hearing them. And then we have the opportunity of rewriting those scripts. [00:16:32] Trina: Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. You can't slap a band-aid on a dirty wound. You can't just slap an affirmation on top of these stories that don't serve us. All right. Don't well, at least they don't serve us in the direction that we want to go, that we desire to go in. Everything that we do say believe serves us in some way, I'm not [00:17:00] perhaps pushing the needle in our business, not making us feel better, but keeping us safe. And so figuring out what those stories are and, and how they're actually serving us. And do we want that to continue? When we can see one side of it, we can choose to do something different. Without being controlled by those subconscious stories. [00:17:27] Willo: Yeah, that's right. And exactly, that's exactly what it is. Bringing them to the conscious awareness, such that they're no longer unconsciously driving, but instead you then are creating that, that conscious choice because all of those thoughts and those beliefs, which then have you feeling a certain way, they're all, what connects to the actions or behaviors. Or Inaction as it were, that is how you're, you're showing up or not showing up in the world. And so it's, [00:18:00] it's fascinating too. And I often will share it's inspired another inspired from Brené brown where she talks about how unused creativity is, is really almost like manifest as grief in our bodies yeah. And that that's huge. If you, if any of you out there have had something knocking on your door, a message coming through, if you haven't listened to it yet, it starts really actually, calcifying in your body and starting to feel really tough. And so it's, we have to, I always like to say. Don't overcook, the baby, right? It's like, you got to birth that baby out into the world. Like it needs to get out. It's not healthy. It literally it's, it's terrifying and scary. And that birthing process. And even though like, what's going to happen after this baby's out in the world, we don't know all we know as we got to get it out, gotta get it out in the world. Right. [00:18:56] Trina: Absolutely. I've absolutely had that experience [00:19:00] myself done is better than perfect. And this was back in early 2021. It was like in may. And I said, I was just sitting there innocently. I think I'll do a summit I'll interview. Some people we'll put it on. It'll be awesome. And then that, then it just started growing from there. I put out the word, say who, who would like to be on the summit. And I got like these amazing, amazing guests, like over 30 interviews about over a dozen masterclasses out of just like 14 days worth of of summit. And I'll tell you. That was amazing, but it never would have happened if I didn't go with my gut and, and that little curious tickle in my brain saying, huh, maybe I'll do a summit and it was so fun. It was a lot of work, but it was so much fun. And, and this is what [00:20:00] I'd like to pull back to the conversation about choosing the story changing the narrative from. What has been going on something that doesn't serve us in the direction that we want and making the choice to think, believe, act, feel something different. Once you understand what the choices you can make it. And at first you're going to have to continue to make that choice every day, sometimes a few times a day, because your habit is conditioned. In story and that is your brain is like, well, I know that I know how to do that. Yeah. But it's not working. So I'm choosing to do this today. I'm choosing to do this right now. I'm choosing to feel calm right now. I'm choosing to feel bold right now. I'm choosing to speak my truth right now. And that might have to be [00:21:00] a multiple times a day. And if it's work, it's work, but it's worthy work. It's worthy work because you, my audience, you Willow, I am, we are worthy of, of making that commitment to ourselves of unreservedly committing. Devoting ourselves to making that decision every day. And it sounds like a lot of work, but after a while, it becomes our second nature. [00:21:36] Willo: Well, and this is in my program. What I call like commit and recommit. We think sometimes that we just commit once and that's what commitment is, but commitment is a process of recommitment over and over and over again. It's the choosing and this is why all the. The frameworks and systems that I have set up in my program are [00:22:00] designed to support us with this, but we have to, you heard me talk a little bit about embodied experience? That's one thing there's also the. Truly our, our vision of what's possible. So when we go out and set big goals and what have you. And so I have a whole process that I take people through because we have to actually help our nervous system get used to this new thing. Right. We all will stay in our. Our comfort zone. What I like to call the uncomfortable comfort zone, because it's really not comfortable. It's not actually where we want to be, but it just is that the other side, even though that's what we want so bad, and we may even know exactly what it's going to take, there's just something that's stopping us. Right. And that's the piece that requires the commitment and nervous system. Yeah. And like, to be able to expand your nervous system every single time you realize you're not going to die, that it's going to be okay. That it might feel hard. It might feel [00:23:00] messy, might feel scary, but that every little step of the way, next thing you know, I was talking about this with someone the other day, my in-house house coach of how grateful I am for the fact that I have faced my fears and followed my heart anyway, for so many years now, 20 years that I have so much content, Messed around and hit record and hit, publish all those many times, creating a bunch of different things that now it's so neat that I can go back and I don't care how messy it is, because guess what I can see, even for my self to witness holy cow, I have been preaching this and sending this message through like, I couldn't even. I couldn't even have stopped if I tried, this is clear, clearly the message that is coming through me and that I am here to do, which has been so affirming. Right? It's like, this is coming through me. All I have to do is get out of my way and that's the same press report. [00:24:00] Yeah, get out of your own way and like, make it happen and realize you won't die. And if you need support with that, right, you hire a Trina, you hire me and let's actually do this together because the worst thing is not taking action at all. Or letting that those unconscious or even conscious fears stop you dead in your tracks. Right? [00:24:20] Trina: Absolutely. I mean, you could do this work on your own, but it will willows 20 years. My 20 years. We can get you past the, you can learn from our fails and get there faster. And one of the things that I've learned with hiring my own coaches You probably felt the same way Willow is that we can't read our own labels from inside our jar. [00:24:53] Willo: I love that saying. Yeah. [00:24:54] Trina: We can think, we know what's holding us back, but our subconscious is saying, this is [00:25:00] what's holding you back, but they're not going to tell you the real thing that's holding them back because of that is behind the shield. Yup. [00:25:06] Willo: It's tangled up in all your stuff. Right. [00:25:09] Trina: It's too scary to look at.. [00:25:12] Willo: Yeah. I always say we can't see the forest from the trees cause we're too close to it. It's usually very tangled. And so what I do in my, my, in our work together is we're really untangling these bits where all of a sudden light can start to shine through. You can start to see. Oh, I can now see the strand clearly. Right. Which you couldn't see it before. And that, that reflection, I mean, I'm just somebody that's like that. And everyone that I hired to support me, I'm a huge fan of support. If I stand on any soap box it's that we all need support. Right. And that every person I now am just so unapologetic about the fact that. I want people to hold my hand. I don't want to do this alone. And that's a lot of the work that I do with others is like they're prolific creators, absolutely brilliant tuned [00:26:00] in women that I get to work with, but there's no shame in wanting support and they too want to have somebody in it with them to give them that reflection and that guidance and hold their hand. And heck yes, we all need that. So good, [00:26:15] Trina: Absolutely absolutely Willow. This conversation has been spectacular. And I can't believe that we have so much more to talk about Willow. I have a feeling that you'll be coming back. . [00:26:34] Willo: Yeah, I would love to, I'm going again. We could talk all day. We've just barely scratched the surface then, with our collective 40 years doing this, that there's a lot of stuff that we could deep dive into. So yeah, I I'd be happy to, I think this is so cool. I would love to hear from anyone who is listening. What has sparked for you, cause I think that's the beautiful thing about sharing ideas like this, and really being able to open up these [00:27:00] doorways. Right? I do the untangling. So some of the light shines through as messengers and all of you who are listening also have your own message coming through. What are the messages that you have received? Might not even be something we directly said, right? You may have just had a download or an insight or something clicked all of a sudden. So. Would love to hear those from anyone who is listening. You're welcome to reach out to me or reach out to Trina, leave us a comment or leave a review, because that is what is going to help everyone else also be like, oh yes. Let's keep sharing these with each other. Absolutely. [00:27:33] Trina: And I love that you mentioned that. So listeners, if, if something really did resonate with you, leave a review and let us know what that was. So the others, as they're looking for insight, as they're looking for inspiration, as they're looking for some kind of support, they'll see your review and they'll know that this is where they need to come.[00:28:00] [00:28:01] Willo: It's the work I love doing. I know you love it too. So it's, it's really, I've just, I love the quote that is, we're all, we're just here to walk each other home, and like Ram Dass and just how. Beautiful. That is, I really do believe it is so true that, again, coming back to how we are shifting out of the patriarchy, which is really also this, this hierarchy that we don't have to, we are stepping into such more of a collaborative co-creative vibe and nature of the way that we're living in this world that is more of the feminine way. But it's also just even the healthy masculine as we're stepping into that, because really then through that balance, right of the masculine and feminine, it means that we can have the beautiful structure that loving holding container of support the court so that we can also be wild and free share our voice, share our light and know that we are safe within that container in [00:29:00] this like really sweet, loving, sacred union between the masculine and feminine with that within us, as well as literally within the ecosystem of the world. [00:29:11] Trina: Oh, that's beautiful. Willow. Thank you so much for being my guest. Thank you so much for this glorious conversation. One of many I hope. Willow, let us know how we can find out more about. [00:29:33] Willo: Absolutely. So one of the things that really connects to what we were talking about today, that I think you would all love. If you are all looking for a starting point for unpacking some of this work and really looking at where you might be derailing yourself or where you. I have some of these limiting feelings and beliefs are what needs your attention? I have two resources for you. One [00:30:00] is I have an alignment quiz and this alignment quiz really helps you sort of see what is needing your attention right now. Right now, this isn't like a personality quiz. That's going to give you, this is who you are forever. It's genuinely like right now, where are you derailed or what. Really needing your support and attention in order for you to break through to that next level. And so that's really insightful. You can, you can find that at willowlovesyou.com slash alignment quiz. And it, or just Willow loves you.com. You can find it on all, all of my I'm at Willow loves you on everything. There's the alignment quiz. And then there's also, I've got a workshop that is called insourcing versus outsourcing. And this is what I call this is insourcing. In-powerment right. That when we learn to stop giving away our power, outsourcing our approval or permission our worth, what have you. Right. And you're really [00:31:00] building that from within. This is when you then had become sovereign and in -powered, right. When you can truly, truly be in the, your own agency, which means that you will act on behalf of yourself, you know, how to set better boundaries, right? All of these pieces that you're not afraid of sharing your truth and sharing your voice, even in the face of disappointing another. Right. This is what I want all women to feel out there, men and women, for sure. But Jen genuinely, this is the piece that when you learn to do this, I want, it's like, I'm, like I said earlier, I'm like not on my watch, man. I'm here to help. As many women rise up as possible. So insourcing versus outsourcing is the workshop. If you guys want to find that and all of this, you can find that Willo loves you.com. If you can't find it, just reach out to me on Instagram or one of the other platforms I will. I loves you on everything. [00:31:54] Trina: Awesome. And listeners, the links will be in the podcast notes. [00:32:00] Awesome. Willow again. [00:32:03] Willo: Thank you. Thank you, Trina, this is such a joy. I loved it. I loved meeting you and I love these deep juicy conversations we have. So thank you for doing the amazing work you're doing in the world.  [00:32:15] Outro--- Next week.

In my last [00:01:00] episode, I spoke again with Claire sweet about why we need to talk about money and how creating a flexible life prevents the biggest end of life regret. If you missed it, make sure to go back and check it out. But don't go yet. Folks. My next guest is Vince Warnock. And we're talking about the entrepreneur's brain's way of saying that you are exactly where you need to be. Vince Warnock is an award-winning business and marketing strategist, coach, author, and host of chasing the insights podcast. An X radio announcer with over 20 years in marketing, Vince has been recognized by his peers with numerous awards, including being named. A fearless 50, A, program designed by Adobe to recognize the top 50 marketers in the world who drive bold, fearless marketing and digital transformation. Previously the CMO at Cigna Vince has founded multiple companies, including the chasing the insights academy, where he empowers entrepreneurs and business owners to [00:02:00] make sense of marketing and grow the business they have always dreamed of. Join me in welcoming vince warnock Trina: So whew!, all right, this conversation is just amazing. I wanted to ask you. A couple of things we haven't gotten to either of the two things that we said we were going to talk about, but we talked to Vince Warnock: them so much gold. Yeah. As soon as you and I started talking, this is going to be like five hour long episode. Trina: Ah, all right. So I want to pop in and talk about some of the mental health challenges that being an entrepreneur can present because and I know that one of them, which is a combination of mental health challenges is imposter syndrome. And that's one of the things that I'm passionate about. And I know you are too , Vince. Vince Warnock: Yeah, no, I always say imposter syndrome is my old, old friend. And yeah, for those. I'm pretty sure every entrepreneur [00:03:00] knows what imposter syndrome is, but every now and then you find some of the doesn't and it is just that feeling. Isn't it of, I don't belong here. I don't deserve what this is and people are gonna find out I'm a complete, and utter fraud. They're going to find out I'm making this up as they go along. And when you grow up in a family where you don't have role models, you don't have people like anybody. Basically, when I was a kid, anyone who had success was the enemy because my parents would look at anybody that had made money and go, well, they obviously don't deserve that money. We do, but we never get the opportunity, which is a really unhealthy view around money and success and Trina: things. I think it is quite common. Sadly, I think you're right. Yeah. But it was, it was really difficult growing up in there. And I had to break through that myself. And as a result, anytime that you succeed, you feel like you don't belong there. I feel like I'm an imposter of these scenarios. And I remember early on I, I was I was quite young back in the day, as my son says, when it's black and white, you know? But I went to, I went to gets to this business breakfast and they had one of the heads of Adobe speaking, there, for Oceania [00:04:00] and, and he was going to be talking about his journey and how success comes, all this kind of stuff. And I'm like, oh my goodness , first of all, I had no money. Right. I was real young businessperson. I had no money whatsoever. So I'm going somewhere with this free food and free drink. I'm like, yes, sign me up. I'm going to eat and drink everything, but also get to hear from this legend. And I'm like, right. So I knew if I'm going to this business breakfast I'm going to have to dress up. I didn't own a suit. I, in fact, basically. Jeans or track pants and a t-shirt was pretty much all I ever owned. So I went down to a Goodwill shop and down to a secondhand shop and I found a suit there for $10. It was disgusting. It was gray. Like this light shiny gray, it was double breasts. I had no idea what fashion was back then. Um, my daughter would argue, I still don't. So I bought this suit there. It was ill fitting. Like honestly, the sleeves went down to my lower knuckles. It was, it was horrible. And I had a long hair at the time, which I turned up at, tied up in a ponytail. So nothing about this scream, success or, or fashion or anything whatsoever. But I turned up at the [00:05:00] Event and the second I walked down and I went, what am I doing here? I stand out like a sore thumb. I don't belong here. Everybody else looks like they do belong here. I sat at this table that were allocated for, I got my food and everything, and I was enjoying the food and I thought, you know what, screw it. I'm just going to enjoy the food. And obviously this is not for me, but you know, I'm going to do this. And I remember looking around the table and in my mind, like picture it right now. It just looks like everybody's wearing Armani suits or Tom Fords. Everyone looked distinguished and I'm here in this tacky, shiny gray piece of crap. So I'm like, no. So I felt like a complete outsider. And anyway, the speaker got up and he shared his journey and, oh my goodness. It was inspiring. Like really was. And I just loved it. I'm like, I want to be the sky I want to, I want his life. Why can't I have that? There's a new company, cars a brand new Audi and this is way back then, and I was just like, oh man. And at the end of his presentation, he went around to every table and he asked the same question, which has, have you got any questions? And I heard him a couple tables away and I'm like, right. And I remember this, I can still picture it. This conversation right [00:06:00] here. My brain goes, OK, Vinny,, listen up. You have a one shot man. One shot to ask something intelligent to at least like, look like you're partially belong here. And then we got one shot. You got one shot. That's don't let me down. I won't let you down. I will leave that. Okay. Yeah. I turned around and realize he's standing right next to me. And he goes, have you got any questions? And then my mouth does this thing where I just speak words. And then my brain kicks in afterwards and I just went, oh, at what point did you know, you'd made it? And my brain just went you moron. And I looked around the table and there's a lot of people rolling their eyes, like, amateur question. And I was like, ah, damn it. And he just turned around and he shocked me. Just said, actually, that's a very good question. Knowing what my brain was like, walking out the door, just went, wait, what? Come back. And he said, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. And the moment you hear that from someone successful. You're like, if I'm hearing a secret from someone successful, I'm writing this stuff down. So I grabbed my peanut paper and he told me, he goes, I've got this morning routine. I go through events and I'm like, I've heard that morning routines are really important. So I started writing down every word out of his mouth. He gets [00:07:00] every morning I get up deliberately early and I'm like, Ooh, I like this deliberately early. And he says, ah, I get out of bed. And I go to the bathroom. I said, interesting, not the kitchen straight to the bathroom. Gotcha. And he goes, I fill up the sink with cold water and I'm like, Hmm. So I ask him what temperature exactly is already in cold water. Yes. Yeah. And I fill out the single cold water. I splashed that water on my face. I look in the mirror and I go, ha today's the day they find out you're a fraud. And I went, what? And he goes, I've never felt like a success. I've never felt like I fit in that's. He said most of us, he indicated around the table. He said, most of us feel the exact same. And I looked at these people that I felt like I didn't belong with a lot of the, all these people that I was looking up to essentially at this table. And they're all nodding as well. And I was like, oh my goodness. And that's when I realized a couple of things. First of all, we're all as much of a hot mess as each other. And I realized that I had judged all these people as being these perfect business people, these like super successful people, but all of them [00:08:00] felt like they didn't belong. What's up with that. And that made me also realize that actually exposing that thinking really helped me, but also, I mean, I had as much right to be at that table as everybody else. Um, now I'd love to say that that kind of cured imposter syndrome and everything. Obviously I struggled with that for the rest of my career. Even when I published my first book Trina, that was the emotional roller coaster I was talking about was I should've felt amazing publishing that book. Right. Vince Warnock: I poured my heart and soul and sweat and blood into that book. Trina: How'd you feel, instead? Vince Warnock: I was depressed. Because I went to the book launch, everyone said, don't do a book launch. I'm like, oh, I'm a Marketer, hold my beer. So went into this book, launch, got a hundred people there to sign copies. It was an amazing atmosphere. It was a beautiful event. Everyone was so supportive, but people kept telling me I can't wait to read the book and that stage. Yeah. And I felt very vulnerable and very exposed. And I really, Trina: You write a book, then think...Oh shit, they might read it. Vince Warnock: I know, I know. I know. So I went to bed that night. I should have been, cause I'm a high extrovert when I'm around that many [00:09:00] people, I should be buzzing all night, but no, I was, I couldn't sleep in the bad way. And I had these conversations going over and over my head saying, who do you think you are? What makes you think you have the right to write about what makes you think anyone wants to read this rubbish ? In fact, they're going to read it and think what an amateur. So in the morning I made a dumb decision. I decided that I was going to sabotage myself. Because I had lined up interviews with Forbes, with CIO magazine Diginomica they all wanted to profile me in my book and I'm like, ah, so I contact them all and said, look, super appreciate it. But I'm way too busy at the moment, which was a lie I could have made it. I was really busy, but I could have made the time for this. And I went back, I didn't talk about it on social. I turned down any press. I just didn't want to talk about my book anymore. And it wasn't until I got called out by one of my mentors. And he's the type of mentor by the way that he doesn't call you. You've got to book time with him. But he called me out of the blue and he said, look, I'm just checking in on you. How's the book sales going? I told him, he was like, oh, okay, good numbers. But I haven't seen [00:10:00] anything at the events. Like you've gone down, there's no social posts. It's no press what's going on. And I said, oh, you know, it's all good. I'm just relying on word of mouth. Cause I'm so busy. And he goes, yeah, No he called me out, but he said to me like, now this is a guy, by the way, who's an eight times best-selling author and I'm not doing an Amazon business. I'm talking New York times bestselling author. Right. Every book he puts out there just goes ballistic. And I've, I've really, really like this. Guy's a legend. And he, he said to me, I'm going to tell you the process. I go through every single time I publish a book and I'm like, oh, okay. And then you just relayed my story back to me the same, self-doubt the same Imposter syndrome, the same everything I'm getting, but that doesn't make sense. Cause you're so successful. And he goes, I never feel like I'm successful. And that's when I realized that talking about this as really, really important, this is why I'm writing a book on it at the moment is actually the more we talk about an imposter and the more we shine light on it, more we realize something and that's something.  Why Imposter Syndrom isn't a "Bad" thing...--- Vince Warnock: That it's not actually a bad thing. And this is a crazy thought, but bear with me when I say this imposter [00:11:00] syndrome in itself, isn't actually bad. If you look at what it is, all it is is your brain going, Hey Trina, Hey Vince, Hey listeners. You're outside of your comfort zone right now. You're in fact, you're way out of your comfort zone and I want to keep you safe. So I'm going to use fear to get you come running back to me so I can wrap you up in my arms and keep you nice and comfy and cozy. Now the problem with that is we're entrepreneurs. You know, when we talk about the fact that we're worried that we're making this up as, we go along, guess what? We are making them up as we go along, this is exactly what we should be doing. We should be out of our comfort zone. Trina: Oh my God. I absolutely love this. And it is absolutely true. We are a little bit of the imposter because we're making, we're creating something that hasn't been created before. Vince Warnock: And that's a good thing. Yeah. But we don't get breakthrough in your comfort zone. You don't get success and prosperity and your comfort zone, you get it outside of there. So when you can recognize that, that's when that's, when something interesting happens, because you realize that imposter syndrome itself is just a bunch of signals from your brain to [00:12:00] say, you're outside of your comfort zone. So in other words, it's your brain go, Hey, guess what? You're exactly where you need to be. Well done, and you get to choose what to do, what you want with that information. So you can either choose to do what I did, which is sabotage myself and go, okay, I'm going to run from those feelings or you get to reframe it and go, you know what brain really appreciate you. I appreciate you telling me I'm exactly where I need to be. I know you worried about this, but you know what? I've got this I'm good at this. It's okay. So hi, honestly, imposter syndrome strikes every entrepreneur, unless you're a sociopath and then you're probably okay. Trina: Or very new. I remember being very new and just not knowing. Wasn't I'm using air quotes, listeners, what isn't supposed to be possible, and I'm going to do, and people saying it's not possible. It's like, but I'm doing it. It's actually happening. I wasn't already, pre-programmed pre programmed that it wasn't [00:13:00] supposed to get done. And so then you get some more experience under the belt and you realize that, Hey, there's this entrepreneurial thing and I can do it. And, but now, you know, The trip wires and the falls and the, and the scary things and what could actually happen if you fail and then what could possibly happen if you succeed. And that's scary too. Vince Warnock: Well, you know what it's like? Cause I was talking about this concept of curiosity, which is one of the superpowers of every entrepreneur. But we are born curious, we're born without limits. If you think about it, right when we were a kid and anyone who's a parent knows this, every question when you get, why, why, why, why, why until you like, ah, because I said so, but they born naturally curious the problem with it is if we get it beaten out of us and what, by that, I mean, we get to the point where we go. If I ask a question about that, someone's going to judge me on that. Think you probably should know that by now or someone's going to go, why you dumb? Trina: And they're going to ask that question because either they don't know [00:14:00] themselves and they can't answer the question or they're intimidated because. They have their own fears. They have their own lack of understanding of how important they are or how valuable they are. Vince Warnock: I said, I still remember Trina. So I used to work at a not-for-profit called education in New Zealand and the government looked at it and went, Hey, you guys are just smashing it with all the money we give you, but we've got these government departments that are failing with the money we give them. So we're going to, we're going to bind you all together and create what's called a crown agency, which is a new government department here. And I'm like, wait, I now work for government. Oh man. But we're bringing these companies together and we didn't have an IT person there, but I was the person who knew how to turn on the computer. So even though I'm the marketing guy, I was also the proxy IT guy. So I'm sitting in this room for these super nerdy IT people, and I'm a nerd myself. But they were talking about these systems and these things that we need to set up in a new environment because we've got a new building, we've got to bring all the computers in and they were talking about this SRB, [00:15:00] something, something, something system. And I'm, I'm no idea what that is. So I asked the question, I said, oh, sorry, can someone explain to me what the SRB system is? You all keep saying, we need this, but I don't know what it actually does. And around the room that everybody did the same thing. They'll roll their eyes and go, oh, like you don't know. And I'm like, I'm sorry, guys. I didn't grow up in your environment. You know, I'm, I'm actually a marketing guy. I'm fulfilling this roles. I'm here, as part of this. So you're going to have to work with me here. Just, I know I'm dumb around this, but, and they were like, oh, well, let's see. So what does it actually do? Art? It's hard to explain. Well, humor me explain it, no, not a single person and funniest part of it. It was something that this project group for the last 10 years, every time they set up a new agency or set up a new thing, we're bringing the system with it because obviously we need to pay for that. We need to bring it on board, but no one had actually used it for the last 10 years. They were just implementing it to all these organizations and it had no function, but no one knew that. And nobody questioned it. Took it dumb, guy coming in there going, I don't know what I'm doing then, then. [00:16:00] Maybe we don't actually need this. So, oh, it was the best feeling ever. Honestly, Trina: the curiosity, the beginner's mind because frequently we have our habits of acting our habits of believing. This is what has always been done in business or what has always been done in my life. This is how I've always done it. That's not a good enough answer anymore. Especially not if you want something different than what you already have. Vince Warnock: Yeah. Oh, you've just got to get curious honestly, and not just in business as well. I genuinely do believe. That if we can get curious in every aspect of our life, we're just going to become better people. And if you look at, I mean, the world's a mess in the moment. If we get really honest about it, the world's a mess. You got pandemics everywhere. You've got, political and social divides. You've got people who don't want to talk to others. But if we got really curious and tried to understand people, try to ask questions that would normally embarrass ourselves. Like, I don't understand why that is, please explain then honestly, you will [00:17:00] start to grow as an individual. And I, I remember this is something that from my childhood where, so growing up in an abusive house, School for me was a happy place, right? So it was a place where I was always, I was safe until I got to that age 11. It was quite a pivotal year for me. Then I went to a transitional school. It's called an intermediate, which has just two years, 11 and 12, before you go off to high school. And I'm at this intermediate and I encountered something in the classroom that I've never come across before, other than at home. And that was a bully. And this guy made my life hell for two years, I had no safe space anymore. I was tormented at home. I was tormented at school. I was, I didn't even want to exist. I thought it was an alien for a long time. I thought somehow someone's going to come and rescue me and take me off the stupid planet. It was horrible. But then when I got to age , 12 were in their last year intermediate or found out that he was going to a different high school and I'm like, yes, I am free. So I went to mine, he went to his, there was all good. Never had to see him again in my life, but also realize I was sick of being a victim. And I was [00:18:00] sick of people being able to take advantage of me. So I threw myself into learning how to box and handling, learning how to do martial arts and do that for a number of years. And I would train every single day. And I wasn't, I wouldn't say I'm any good at it, but enough to be able to defend myself. Definitely. Yeah. And age I think it was just about 17 I'm at school and I found out he got transferred back to my school. And I'm like, oh my goodness. I had seen every eighties movie. I'd seen all the revenge of the nerds, all these things about the underdog. Finally coming out on top of like, this is going to be a glorious day. I could play it out of my head. I knew what was going to happen and sure enough, he walks past me and I'm like, so I yelled his name and a few expletives and I knew what was going to happen. He turned around, he took a swing at me and I'm like nope to another swing at me I'm like "Ha, ha, ha!", and then finally I laid him out. I, and I'm not a violent person at all. In fact, I abhore violence, but I hit him, knocked him out. He was on the ground unconscious. And this moment where the underdog finally came down on top of him, like, yes, except I felt terrible. [00:19:00] Yeah. And I remember suddenly finding myself in the principal's office, which funny enough is what happened when you fight and I'm there with the principal and he turns to me and he said, look, do you know why he got transferred to the school? And I said, no, I don't care. I'm trying to be all staunch. You know, I'm not very good staunch person, "I don't care". And he goes, well, you probably should care. I mean, oh. And he said he started explaining this, this guy's back story in his life. And he said, look, he grew up in an abusive household, I'm thinking Yeah same. So what, he goes so much so that his dad used to beat him, his mum and his sister every day, since he was a baby. And recently what happened was the father beat the mother so badly in front of the two children that she actually passed away. So he murdered the mom in front of the two of them now, rightfully he got arrested and he went to jail, which is great. And they went to stay with an auntie and uncle and their, and the auntie and uncle were closer to our school. And that's when he got transferred there. And I was like, but I didn't know that. And he goes, no. And I wouldn't expect you to know that Vince, he goes, but funny enough of all the people that I thought might [00:20:00] understand what he went through. And all the people that might've been able to actually talk to them about that you were the one. And that's when I had this big revelation that I'm not the hero in the story. I'm not the underdog coming out on top. And by the way, all those eighties movies lied to us. Like they are horrible movies. But an extra fact, I'm the villain of this story because I'm the one person that had the opportunity now, not, I'm not saying I would have turned his life around anything. He may not have chosen to talk to me about these things, but I had the opportunity to be there for him. If I had taken the time to try and understand why he behaves the way he does, why he was doing what he does. And that's when I realized we just have to understand each other, we have to get super curious and in doing so, by the way, your businesses will grow, your connections will grow. You will understand people a lot more deeply. You understand yourself more deeply. You'll just be a better human being. So we just have to do that. Trina: Amen and amen, Vince, you're speaking, you're speaking the truth.[00:21:00] When you work on yourself, when you know why, when you go into the depths and you understand yourself more and how you respond and know that you're safe, you have the ability to be curious and to ask and to stop mind reading, because it's not mind reading, you're actually putting thoughts into your, putting your thoughts and your thinking. Other people are thinking your thoughts and they're not, and, and when we to pull it back to imposter syndrome, I think we often go into a room or an environment or a niche thinking everybody already knows what we know. And we know such a small portion of. Yep. When instead what it, we know we have like this vast well of knowledge and we know a little bit about everything and everybody knows a little bit about what we [00:22:00] have, but there's the magic that, that you bring to your industry, whatever that is. Vince Warnock: I'll tell you something I found interesting, Trina. So getting recognized by Adobe as one of the top 50 marketers is an interesting thing. When you suffer from imposter syndrome, by the way, because I'm sitting there again, I could list, I could run a list of a hundred people, more talented than me. What are you on about? And then they, so how it kind of played out was Adobe had this big conference, they asked me to speak at it and I said, yep. So they're going to fly me to San Francisco business class, five star hotel, all the whole shebang. And I went, No, I can't do that. I'll come and speak at your conference, but I'll pay my own way because I was chief marketing officer. I didn't want anyone to think there's conflict of interest. Luckily Cigna found out about it and they're like, this is a massive opportunity. We'll pay for it. I'm like, yes, back to business class. I couldn't justify it otherwise. Yeah. They adamant with me. You have to come and speak at this conference. I'm like, yeah. Okay, chill. I'm going to be there. So finally I get over to this conference and they, the way they structured it, they had 25 keynotes plus what they call celebrity [00:23:00] keynotes. So the celebrities were like Jamie Fox. They had. Flo rider, some Olympic athletes, and this is amazing. You get to hobnob with all these people. It's like, this is awesome. Every one of my heroes, I realize those 25 keynotes I'm to me, I'm the one that stands out here. I'm the, I'm the sore thumb, because I had Brian solace and Henry I think Seth Goden was it. Incredible speakers. I'm like, this is going to be awesome. I get to hear them all. And then we got there and then they turned around that day, they opened up the conference and then the CEO came out and he's like, welcome to the conference, blah blah. And he said, we've got a very special thing that we're launching here because there's, there's a reason that we've got these 25 people as the keynotes. And I'm like, huh. And he goes, because these are part of our new program where we recognize the top 50 marketers in the world. We've chosen the top 25 of those, but I'm like, oh, there must be 25. And me and I really, my brain did not cope. It really didn't cope with this very well at all. I was really, I was struggling with this whole concept, but then it got even worse because he goes, and I really want to highlight three of those that I think [00:24:00] are challenging the industry in the right way. And he goes in the first, it was all the way from New Zealand. I'm like, oh, another Kiwi. And then suddenly I see my face on the screen. That Kiwi looks exactly like me and then my name come up, knowing what the hell he's got the same name as me. Like my brain's just disengaging, but it was because of the work I've done around morality and ethics, ethics to marketing, and actually challenging the industry to be decent custodians of care, you know, for, for people that we market to. And I'm like, oh man. So some at this conference, I'm getting recognized, I'm struggling with this, but I got to go out to dinner with all of my heroes. I got to hear them speak. And it was, it was better than I even thought. Like honestly, Brian solace blew my mind and handy was just one of the sweetest people ever. Seth Goden, anytime you get to hear him, he's like, yeah so I'm just like, this is incredible. And I've got to go out to dinner with these people. And the more that you start talking to them, the more you start drinking lots of whiskey, by the way, love my whiskey also found that Americans I'm sorry, but Americans, a lightweight drinkers compared to Kiwis, putting it out there. We can drink all the top shelf stuff and you guys are on the floor, [00:25:00] sucking the air again. But the more, the more we were, well, we were getting into this center. It was just such a wonderful time. Some of the sweetest people ever, but they started opening up about their problems. And when they start talking about relationships, falling apart, struggling, financially, all these kinds of things were coming out and I'm going, but these are the people I look up to. These are the people that I want to be. And weirdly they're as much of a hot mess as I am. And that's what I realized. None of us are really that different. All of us are dealing with things. All of us have our own struggles and our own stuff. So why don't we just actually try and support each other? Why don't we talk about this kind of stuff? Why don't we be honest about I had this with a peer of mine in the UK. She was really struggling. At one point, she went kind of dark on me and I'm like, Hey, hang on, jump on zoom. She's not up to zoom. Haven't done my hair and makeup , and I'm like ha! Neither have I.. So I finally got her on a zoom call and she just burst into tears and said, look, I'm just really ashamed. I'm really embarrassed. I've been asked to put together this [00:26:00] this press release for Forbes. I've been asked to put together this quote for the slash corporate over here, but I procrastinated so much on both of those because I was overwhelmed that now I'm at the point where I'm really embarrassed and really ashamed. And so I'm avoiding all of the calls. I'm avoiding all of their emails. And I was like, oh man, I did that last week. And she was like, what I said, yeah, that happens to me all the time. But you know, I'm not surprised. And then we realized that by talking about it with each other, we remove the shame from it. We removed our assessment and we realize, hang on a minute, this can't be then uncommon. So we started asking other entrepreneurs and sure. Just about everybody started with struggles with the same thing, but we don't talk about it because of that embarrassment. So yeah, we're all, that was one of the questions that I was going to bring up eventually was because all of my questions have gone out the window. The conversation has been amazing. But absolutely imposter syndrome that the guilt for. Stepping away from what isn't working for you, [00:27:00] the embarrassment is like, you know, this, isn't making me happy and how does this, how dare this, where I am not make me happy, look at where I am. Anybody else who would be here would be thrilled. And if I gave this up, people would think I'm crazy. And then getting to the point of, being recognized or something and like thinking I, I can't even go forward with this and finding subtle ways to self-sabotage and not asking for help. I think this is a common thing. For pretty much everyone who has a certain degree of success. Yeah. You know, can I ask for help? Because if I ask for help, that means I'm not successful or that means that has some kind of story. Yeah, we totally need to reframe that though, because, and I know, you know this as well, but yeah, it's this weird mentality we have that if we, if we asked for help, we're failing or if we ask for help, then you know, we can't do an actual fact. I'll tell you now. And this is the weird [00:28:00] thing. So I always talk to people about getting a coach and yes, I'm biased because I am a coach and you're some awesome ones. So if you want one, Hey, you know, but the fact is everybody should, every business, every entrepreneur or business person should have a coach. And the reason is because guess what? All of the top coaches have coaches all the top entrepreneurs have coaches are. Yeah, exactly. Richard Branson has multiple coaches. I know for a fact, I know that Russell Brunson, he's got his own ones, I'm trying to think about the high profile names. I know Seth Godin has at least two mentors and two coaches that speak into his life. There's all these people that have. All the support. And yet we think if we do that for ourselves, it makes us less, or it takes away from us the best entrepreneurs, the most successful people surround themselves with those that can help and ask for that help, which means we need to reframe asking from help, asking for help is weakness or failure. And actually as a success, in fact, we should be asking for it more often and getting advice more often as well. I agree. [00:29:00] I agree. Nobody has nobody is an island. It was a cliche. When you look at the most successful people, they did not do it. Yeah, they may have been the figurehead, but they did not do it alone. Yeah. And, and having those people speak India as well as really important because I mean the civil multiple purposes, I, I, so I have two coaches and I have an accountability coach and I've got four peer coaches where we coach each other and help each other out. And honestly, that's probably the best relationships of all, because you get to send a quick message going. And they're like, quick jump on zoom. I remember doing that. I had a summit where one of my VAs just went Mia, like honestly, and just lift me in the lurch. And I had to do everything myself while trying to move house into this place while also preparing for a wedding for a friend of ours, all this stuff and, and watching my group program. So all of this happening at the same time, and I had to fulfill their roles. Couldn't just hand it over to someone straight away, the whole policy stuff behind it. And I was just like, oh my goodness, this, this is not, [00:30:00] this is nuts. And I hit the wall one night where I had to get this email out and I was trying to, trying to think of the wording. And I just went by. And I just seen it. So is to one of my peer coaches and just said help. And she's like, what's up? And I said, I'm trying to wipe words, English not good, tired out. Now she goes, jump on zoom. And we co-wrote that. And I tell you now she didn't look at me as a failure at all. She didn't look at me and go, oh, I can't believe that's going to do this. She was like, I'm so glad I got to help. I'm so glad I got to be part of this as well. And then I returned the favor. I see many times where as well, but it's that whole thing of, I surround myself with these people and I can tell you now I wouldn't be where I am. If I didn't have these people surrounding me, because they will, they will encourage you when you hit the wall and you're going to hit the wall a lot. You're an entrepreneur. That means you have days where you're crushing it. And days where you're like, I can't get out of bed. These are the people that get you out, be in a case, they remind you why you're doing what you're doing, but they also see your blind spots. They see the areas that you don't even know are problematic and they call you [00:31:00] out on that. And they bolster the areas where you're weaker as well. And more than that, they're just become ridiculous friends. So just got to do it anyway. Trina: Yeah. Well, yeah, it's the power of community and creating your own community, creating your own little mastermind. That's beautiful. Yeah. Listeners, if you don't have a community of peers who are on the same journey in some degree or another, I encourage you to find one. I know that I've had made the biggest growth as when being part of a community when I'm surrounded by people who are on a similar journey, because family, friends, strangers on Facebook, that they do not understand what you're going through, what you're experiencing, what your struggles are. And when you have those peers, you can just say a few words [00:32:00] and they will know exactly where you're coming from and be able to support you. And you will be able to do the same for Vince Warnock: them. Definitely. It's super important. And it's funny because family and friends is a really good example of it. They mean? Well, like family and friends. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But the thing is they can't see your vision. They've never been where you're going. And this is why you get people that have been where you're going, you know, because they were, their thing is I want to protect you. So therefore, that's never going to work. What are you doing? Come on trainer. You're never going to be successful if you do that, Trina: your inner critic on the outside of your body. Vince Warnock: Yeah, exactly. So you want to surround yourself with people that have been there, done that and go TriNet. You're on the right track. Please keep doing. Trina: Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. And for the family, just tell them it's going to be okay. Vince Warnock: I got this. Yeah, I got this. I know what I'm doing. Yeah. Or come and talk to me when you've done this before one doesn't go down well at dinner parties. Trina: Well, [00:33:00] Vince, this has been an absolute pleasure. You mentioned during our conversation that you have at least what four new books coming out. Vince Warnock: Yes. I've got two new books coming out in December and as well as republishing my first book, because I made some changes to it. And then two other books which are going to be published in January and then another two by the end of 20, 22 and two children's books as well. Cause I love just the cheesy dad jokes that are in there Trina: Vince, this conversation we could go on for hours, but I want to respect your time. And would you be willing to come back for another interview? At some point, Vince Warnock: Ahhh, let me think about that for more than two seconds. Of course I would come on, any time with you Trina is devine.. Trina: Fantastic. Because it's an absolute pleasure. There's nothing but gold that happens during our conversations. [00:34:00] And it's been that way from the very beginning, which was not that long. And I expect it to continue. So this has been an absolute pleasure having you. How can people find out more about you, Vince? Oh, man, I made this so complex, nasty marketing expert. Exactly. Just go to Chasingtheinsights.com. You'll see a few things on their pages. Obviously the home of my podcast and that's the home of my books. But you'll see on there, two things really important. One. I link to all my social networks. So just connect with me everywhere, unless you're a spammer, don't connect with me if you're a spammer. Cause I don't like that, but everybody else feel free to reach out to me. But also you'll see a link to where you can book a free strategy call with me. If you have any area of marketing where you're really struggling or imposter syndrome or anything like that. And just book some time with me, they are no obligation whatsoever. In fact, like I said, nine times out of 10, I'm going to forget to tell you about what I do anyway. So it's really just there to serve you. Vince Warnock: I'm on a massive mission Trina. Help as many entrepreneurs as I possibly can. I [00:35:00] just think it's a high calling. I think it's something that's really special as the backbone of our economy and entrepreneurs of just bad ass. Awesome individuals. Yeah. That's a beautiful end listeners. Those links will be in the show notes. Thank you again, Vince. It has been an absolute pleasure and honor to have this conversation with you. I see. We just have to do this again and this time we'll bring, I'll bring some whiskey and we'll make them out of it. Yeah. Sounds good. Yeah.  Insert close loop outro here--- next week.

Listen in for why you need to stop doing something to get something. Really, it makes sense. I promise!THANK YOUThank you for joining me throughout 2020. Did you know this podcast almost didn't happen? I worked with a coach, with the goal of getting this podcast up and running in 28 days.It actually took 21 days - a week into getting things going, my mother passed away, and I had to travel to take care of her final arrangements for a week. I had about 20 hours of driving and thinking. I asked myself some hard questions. Was this the right time to start a podcast? Was this the universe telling me "no"?Sometime during that week of taking care of final arrangements, crying, reconnecting with family, I had a realization that my mother would LOVE me starting a podcast. She always loved it when I did something new and daring in my business.When I returned home, I got back to work, head down and focused for the next two weeks. I launched this podcast at the beginning of March of this year. Within 3 days of launch, I was excited to say that Field Guide To Awesome became an iTunes top #50 podcast. Field Guide To Awesome is only 8 months old, and it is the end of 2020.2020 as a whole has been difficult for many. I know that there have been rays of light, humanity stepping up, speaking up, and changing the world, too. For some, its been a time of stepping back and healing. 2020 has proven that wherever there is a crisis, there is also an opportunity.I hope that my episodes have brought some light, some relief, and at the very least some distraction from the social, financial, political, and health crises that have bombarded 2020.Thank you to all of my wonderful guests that shared their transformational mindset shifts, entrepreneurial, and coaching journeys with us. Their insights and gifts of wisdom are a big part of what makes the Field Guide To Awesome truly Awesome. A big thanks to Jamie Atkinson & Gina Tierno of the Podcast Profit Lab who helped me get started.I want to thank each and every one of you who've subscribed to my podcast, downloaded the episodes, given it 5 stars and left beautiful reviews. I couldn't have done this without all of you.2021 is going to be a powerful year of Field Guide To Awesome episodes, folks. Stay safe, stay healthy, and Stay tuned, you won't want to miss any of it!

Emotional Intelligence...It’s the difference between emotions just happening to you, reflexively acting without thought, and you deliberately choosing how you want to respond, and the best next step to take to serve your clients.Here are the 3 practices to increase your emotional intelligence as well as increasing your intuition:Practice paying attention to people - everyone. note their hair or eye color, and name (in your head) the emotion they seem to be feeling.Practice recognizing your own emotions as they come up during the day. Note the emotion and how your body feels. if you get a chance, check your reflection in the mirror.Journal out your emotions. write about what you are feeling and why you think that is. What does the feeling physically feel like in your body. what thoughts go through your head when having those emotions.Noting and attending to emotions does help you to accurately read other’s emotions if you practice this like you would strengthening a physical muscle *******If you are a coach who wants to identify your self-worth, breakthrough limiting beliefs, and overcome energetic blocks to scale to CONSISTENT 5k+ months, I invite you to book a call with me.We'll have an intimate conversation about you, your business, and what is holding you back from scaling to consistent 5k plus months in your coaching business.
