When we look at someone making and posting great content, we tend to overlook one thing. They all had that first crappy post or clumsy video. It doesn't become polished overnight - it goes through a ton of iterations until it looks amazing. You don't see the 100 steps the content creator had to go through - the period of being bad at it first, figuring it out, learning new things and applying them.  Most people will never get to great because they aren't willing to go through this part of the process. They are afraid of looking silly and afraid of the discomfort of looking like they don't know what they're doing. They don't want to screw up in order to do it better next time.  The journey of getting better as a business owner, and a person for that matter, involves a lot of humbling moments, learning curves, curiosity and a ton of improvements. As soon as we become okay with that, we unlock our next level of growth. We're ultimately in the self-improvement business disguised as a real estate business. How do we commit to constant growth and improvement? Today, fellow Phoenix agent, Angela Gordon talks about how she's growing her business by improving herself.  Key Points   Give fear a seat at the table, not a vote One of the things that holds us back from taking action is the fear of not getting results or looking silly. Fear is a natural response to trying something new. We can still have the thoughts, but we don't have to give them power by not taking action. Give fear and doubt a seat at the table, but you don't have to give them a vote.  How to handle the results lag of real estate As agents whose business results often lag behind the action we take, we don't have the benefit of instant gratification. If we let our emotions control the day-to-day of our business and what we do, we can easily get off track. We have to believe that as long as we're doing the right things, business will be okay, even if we don't see the results right away.  You're not in the business of selling houses If you're a business owner, you're really in the self-development business especially if you're working with the public and dealing with customers/clients. Working on yourself is your number 1 job because if you don't overcome your BS, you'll never get to where you want to go.  How to tap into your creativity  One of the most powerful things we can do is be more creative. It benefits us in so many aspects of our business. But how do we lean into creativity and get ourselves into a creative space? By getting out of our usual routines, taking a break from work and getting out of our element. Whatever our hamster wheel is, we have to step off it to get those creative juices flowing.  The power of curiosity  Curiosity and the ability to be uncomfortable are some of the most powerful qualities a person can possess. Most people aren't willing to try something different, but even if you discover that the new hobby wasn't for you, you still get to learn something about yourself, and that's great if you want to keep growing.  Guest Info Angela is an investor and top 4% real estate agent in Arizona who focuses on the east valley cities.

Maria Felipe is the author of Live Your Happy. A Cuban-American born in Miami, she is 5’9” with a towering personality to match.  After experiencing success as a model and actress, including hosting World Wrestling Federation TV shows, she felt called inward and studied to become a reverend at Pathways of Light, an accredited religious school inspired by A Course in Miracles. She leads monthly services in both Spanish and English at Unity Church in Burbank, CA.  All of us seek true happiness in our lives; but, it is the rare few that manage to find it. Maria Felipe, our guest on today’s show, guides us into how one can do just that. Maria believes that cultivating self-love and a feeling of abundance are KEY to finding true happiness. She delves into her life struggle of people pleasing and her general lack of self-love—factors that have contributed to her becoming intrinsically unhappy. Today, she discusses just how she managed to let go of her grievances, cultivate that self-love, and ultimately find that true sense of happiness. Tune-in to learn how your willingness to connect to the Holy Spirit and to your spirit within can help you live your happy. Today’s guest is Maria Felipe Her book Live Your Happy: Get Out of Your Own Way and Find the Love Within is based on A Course in Miracles The books urges readers to live at MAX capacity; be responsible by not being a victim of the world that you see Being FORGIVING, even when and if you do not want to, WILL make you feel better Maria was suffering because she was dissatisfied with the state of her relationships and her career In this world of duality, we are constantly looking for outside validation to be “complete” Was even attending the Course of Miracles in a bid to find happiness Her personal life went through major upheaval in 2009 when she went through a divorce; resorted to drinking and partying to cope up Started to recognize that if she did not mend her ways, she was doomed to die Decided to go to The Pathways of Light, a ministerial program to further her study on the Course of Miracles Opted to go there not to become a teacher, speaker or instructor but to HEAL her mind The Course of Miracles says, “All you need is a little bit of willingness for miracles to happen”; inherently willing, she finally warmed up to the program Tried reading books and listening to CD’s in her self-help and desperation phase, but to no avail Need to EMBODY the teachings and live them in your relationships with yourself and others Realized the futility of looking for love outside of oneself Tranced with the world and caught up in our egos, we have gotten comfortable with being unhappy Being EASY and being HAPPY is the true normal; happiness, our function and inheritance is the true reality BIG DEALS rob us off our inheritance, our happiness—in other words, when we make a big fuss over small issues or catastrophize certain events in our life that end up stealing our peace Cultivate a mindset where you are happy regardless of the outcome; your happiness is not dependent on things outside of you Remember, outside stuff does not define you; GOD does Avoid falling in the ego trap where you think, “You could have, you should have or would have done it better” Avoid being obsessed with your looks and being skinny just to people please or get something else from the outside world Maria’s body is just a reflection of her thoughts Your bank account and your job do not define you; you will not find abundance in your life via monetary gains Your life is inherently abundant since you are God’s creation; you have everything and lack nothing Our ego pushes us to achieve more and more in this consumption driven society Maria beat 500 girls to land a job at World Wrestling Federation; while this job had all the trappings of success, Maria was the saddest she had been all her life The only thing that you want to truly MANIFEST is what the holy spirit guides you to do; look to manifest more internal things rather than external things “You want the holy spirit’s guidance because you want what is best for the soul growth. You want to wake up more and more to the love that you are” Sometimes you need to GIVE up all desires to DISCOVER what is truly best for you Stop and gain control over your wandering mind to truly CONNECT with your spirit The Holy Spirit communicates with you through signs and symbols; it will meet you where you are at Given the current state of society at large, Maria believes that you need BIG WILLINGNESS in order to truly connect with the Holy Spirit Had been longing for a man’s love all her life; realized the futility of this when she realized that she was, in fact, longing for God’s love and that she had it all along Upon realizing that all the conflict was within herself, and that she was holding herself back from the holy, the good and the beautiful, she finally became FREE Is in a great relationship right now due to the self-love that she was able to cultivate “Feeling your feelings” is extremely important for dealing with your emotional issues; don’t brush your feelings under a rug, respond to the nudge that the Holy Spirit is giving you Check out the resources mentioned on the She Rises website Visit her online at http://www.mariafelipe.org. 3 Key Points: Give up all your DESIRES to truly discover what is best for you. Important to “feel your feelings” and deal with your emotional issues; do not brush your feelings under a rug. STOP looking for happiness outside of you; the TRUTH is that you have everything and you lack nothing – cultivate a feeling of ABUNDANCE to be truly and intrinsically happy. Resources Mentioned: A Course in Miracles – Maria referred to this course in a bid to find true happiness The Pathways of Light – Taking up this course was a life-changing decision for Maria

Ramona is a 200hr RYT, and teacher of Embodied Energy Medicine. She has studied alternative health and wellness for over 17 years. ​The time is now for all of us to come together, with our hearts ablaze from the inside out. Activating one another to ever greater levels of peace, love, joy, and connection. Having received several light initiations via deep trance meditation and diving deeply into my cellular matrix, I believe we are ready to ignite our inner diamond fires which will assist in creating a ground swell of vibrant love for this planet and each other. We have come to depend on technology for every aspect of our lives—our social lives, work lives, and day-to-day living involves us plugging into our phones or computers. It’s very easy to fall into the trap of believing we are run by technology, when, in actuality, we still have the power to dictate how and when we employ its use. In today’s episode of She Rises, Giovanna and Ramona Bernardi discuss the importance of replacing media with silence; connecting with one’s self as opposed to connecting to technology. Tune-in to learn why staying in control of technology and its uses gives us the time and space to reflect on the matters within. Giovanna is sharing her recorded conversation with Ramona today Check out She Rises Podcast website and leave us a comment Share the message to your friends! Ramona is Giovanna’s soul sister This weekend, Giovanna engaged in a media blackout, she silenced all her technology As soon as Giovanna disconnected, she felt her breath return She noticed her addiction to food and eating “Boredom itself is disconnection of source” How can you be bored if you’re present in the moment? Giovanna challenged herself to go into the dark for 3 nights Her inspiration for this came from a conversation with a friend; she wanted to connect herself to God Giovanna also recognized she had a trigger point in the dark The first night, Giovanna experienced panic and terror Her third night was the best night for Giovanna Boredom is a coping mechanism—it happens when Ramona is not stimulated “Boredom is just resistance to connecting with yourself” Try to put yourself in silence for a weekend Giovanna shares about the book she read, The Power of Receiving We cannot receiving anything unless we are in a receptive state The word that came to Giovanna when she meditated was ‘receiving’ Ramona experienced so much transformation in the weeks her mother was away for a trip in Europe Ramona learned to embrace her inner child and realized she was growing into a mother herself When her mother returned, Ramona saw that she was becoming more of a woman rather than a child Gift yourself space and reflection to connect to yourself and see what needs healing We aren’t taught how to deal with our feelings We get rewarded for suppressing the feelings Learn to parent the child within Ramona shares about the children’s book, How to Love Myself and Others Fill yourself first, before you give to others Human beings don’t have the skills to really connect with themselves, especially with all this technology and media around us Ramona recognized the toxicity of social media in her life, so she disconnected “It wasn’t an easy transition” How can you remain IN CONTROL rather than be controlled by what’s around us? A Course in Miracles teaches us how to pay close attention of when we allow the ego to take control of us Ramona wants to revive the art of conversation We’re losing the art of conversation as a human race Pop culture is and has always been the focus of young adults’ conversations Giovanna and Ramona miss the freedom of childhood, before the invasion of technology Resistance to technology vs Bridging the gap with technology Beyond the benefits of using technology for emergencies, what do we really need our phones for? Take a breather when you can Allow yourself to rest – it is YOUR right Rest is the only way people can recharge to be the light that they are 3 Key Points: Give yourself the time and space to reflect and connect with yourself—this is how you can discern what needs healing in your life. Emotional intelligence is not explicitly taught to us throughout childhood. Technology can be both constructive and destructive – the result depends on us and the reasons why we use technology. Resources Mentioned: The Power of Receiving – Book Giovanna read last weekend How to Love Myself and Others – Book Ramona gave her godchildren A Course in Miracles – Book both Giovanna and Ramona recommends
