Could you help me with 5 seconds to share and review the podcast... it would be very appreciated! If this was valuable for you, lets help more people to find this information!

Speaker 1:

there's literally a million ways to make a million, but how do you know which one is right for you? How do you know when it's the right time to go all in and quit your job? How do you know how much is possible for you, especially if you've been used to living at a certain income level? Maybe money was an area of dispute between your family members growing up. Maybe you've gotten into some habits of not checking your bank account, of ignoring the bank account, of ignoring the numbers, of ignoring the potential that you feel inside of you. Maybe you want to help people. Maybe you have a skill.

Speaker 1:

Maybe you just feel like you're meant to be the type of girl who gets to wake up, go for her morning walk, grab a matcha and live life on your terms, but you found yourself in this robotic way of following what the system tells you to do.

Speaker 1:

This is something that means so much to me, because I've seen so many people going through this change. I've coached so many women through this change and I'm here today with somebody who has been through that exact journey and has done it in a very fast way and, really importantly, in a way that is very aligned to God and keeping God in mind the whole way, and so I want to hand over the mic to Spiro so he can introduce himself, and I want you to know that this episode is not something that is going to be a get rich quick scheme, that is going to tell you the same generic advice that you've heard before, because these are the types of conversations that people literally pay tens of thousands to get in the room and hear, and so I'm so excited for you to be able to get access to all of it today. Spiro, could you tell us a little bit about who you are and your journey, because I'm so excited to have you here.

Speaker 2:

Hi, minnie. First of all, thank you so much for that incredible introduction. It's the first time ever We've been friends for so long. How come this is the first time you're doing a podcast? Girl Like I can't believe this and just insanely grateful to be here.

Speaker 2:

So most people who started the journey with me because probably a couple of people here might know me because me and I have been besties for quite a while I started as a mental health coach, then my whole journey brought me to relationship coaching and now I'm a six-figure entrepreneur who helps other people build their personal brand and I help them with their businesses and with their content and, beginning to end, I couldn't have done this without you a personal brand, and I help them with their businesses and with their content and, beginning to end, I couldn't have done this without you, and I tell that everyone who I meet the whole time, because you are literally like a dream mentor, not only when it comes to, like, the business things that I've learned from you, but also about about the spiritual alignment that is key, because if you're not connected to God in whatever you're doing, you're literally simply never going to make it.

Speaker 2:

Because if you're just after money, if you're just after a quick win, if you're just after I want to quit my job and sip matcha, everyone wants that, that.

Speaker 1:

But if you want that and you follow through with it for the right reasons, that's when you know you've got something that speaks for you and can literally change your life forever I think, like already just hearing that journey that you went through, of starting as a mental health coach to getting to where you are now, I know that you're literally helping so many people grow their followings and make money online.

Speaker 1:

If you had waited to feel certain, if you had just like waited to know exactly what is your niche, what type of coach do you need to be, what type of content do you need to make, you would literally just be in the same position.

Speaker 1:

So I think that a lot of times, god is an unseen force in this world, so a lot of the answers are not going to be like handed to us on a silver platter and we have to be able to trust in what we don't yet see or what's not yet physical for us to be able to get there. And you obviously mentioned how not just chasing money but actually bringing God into it is what you feel makes people successful. Could you give a little bit of context on how do you think that that helps people? Because there's obviously like this feeling that money and God are very separate, and one exercise that I've done with some of my coaching clients has been to actually have like this daily practice of bringing God into the business with them and bringing God into their bank accounts and praying for the energy and the power of the universe to control their bank accounts and to control their businesses for them. And it's something that people have a lot of blocks around because they're like I just don't see the connection. So what's that connection for you?

Speaker 2:

So for me, that connection would be because I remember it as if it were yesterday how I figured out what kind of coach I want to become. And I just looked around hey, these people were sent to me by god my family, my friends, my loved ones, literally every single human being on earth I deeply care about. And then I just asked let's say I would start a business today. What should it be about? All the answers I got were related to building people's confidence, helping people that I have a specific talent to see people for who they truly are, what their potential is and all the endless opportunities that they carry inside of them. And this was not told to me like you told me this, my brother told me this, my parents told me this, my best friends told me this, every single human being I talk with this about told me the same thing. And then I was like, okay, that's a good beginning. Did some chat, gpt research back in the day. And then I was like, hey, mental health, relationships, healing in that area, boost their confidence. Why not start like this? And I just opened my instagram, opened my tiktok, and started posting. And started posting.

Speaker 2:

And there's one little catch to this which is so insane because I started, because it's one thing to like, post and like, have an idea, and it's a whole different thing to create a vision for yourself. Because for that, for me, it was like, how am I gonna, how am I gonna phrase that? Because what I see a lot of people do is they put, they put out content, do something, get started one way or another, and then they just stop why? Because there's no vision, there's no bigger plan, there's no purpose, there's not a deep desire to make this happen, no matter what. And and to explain that I have to go a couple steps back, because I I used to be Christian and then literally and this is so insane the moment that I converted to another religion that I did a lot of research on this, talk to a lot of people, to to my loved ones, and it was like an inner calling and that inner calling for me was Islam and converting to Islam and many you know it yourself. But, like for everyone listening to us here today, like I get goosebumps just thinking about this the moment I converted to that faith and I I had, I always had a connection with God, but that moment something changed for me and it was like I knew this is going to be the beginning of something great.

Speaker 2:

And then I started a new account because I had some issues with the old one, didn't post for a while, but really learned a lot about my religion. Learned a lot about my faith, my purpose. A lot about my faith, my purpose, my vision and that's what keeps me alive and thriving and bringing these people results and becoming better every single day of my life. Because most people out there post 150 times in one month flop, beginning to end and then stop. Most people don't even post 150 times. Most people don't even get close to that. And I did that and I was on a phone call with my best friend telling her hey, I think I'm gonna stop this, I'm gonna start in another language. This doesn't make any sense to me anymore. Next day went viral on Instagram instead of TikTok. What I actually had intended and mini everything else is in the past, and the moment I connected to God like I've never had before is the moment where everything changed, because this is just one percent of my life now it's so crazy how it happened.

Speaker 1:

Like one, it was literally one day after, right, yeah, and I hear stories like that all the time. It's kind of like you really have to get to that breaking point, um, and it's, you know, once you get to the point where you've given everything that you can possibly give, like that's when there's actually space for God to come in and work magic. And it's just exactly what you said, like if you don't have something bigger, you will quit, basically because it's not going to be easy, whether it's like in terms of content or then in terms of how to actually transition that into making money. What about when your clients are having struggles? How do you like hold all of the information, all the people's like problems? Because as a business coach, you're basically holding. You know, let's say, you have 15 clients. You're holding the business of 15 clients. You're holding the energetic weight of all of those things and if they are coming to you for support, who are you going to support? And the ultimate support, the only support that has endless capacity to hold it all, is really going to be a higher power. So I think that that's also especially if you are in like a coaching business, mentorship, any sort of business. Anyway, you're going to be holding a million things because, let's say, if you're doing like courses, you're gonna maybe need a team to help you scale that. You're gonna have actually like potentially thousands of students and again, energetically as the founder, as the owner, as the CEO, all of that energetic weight, it all funnels back to you. It's all on you. So you have all of the responsibility and you get all the unlimited gains that you don't get when you work in somebody else's business in a normal job. There is another founder, another CEO somewhere who you probably might not even know, but who's actually energetically holding the weight of all of the things that you see like happening day to day in your office, and so that's like the big switch. I think that happens when you become your own boss, your own employee and all of the other like roles that are within a company. Like when you start out in business, it's usually just you and like a phone and an Instagram account, and as that grows, you have to hold so much and you need like a place to get that strength.

Speaker 1:

And it's not even just in business that this issue comes up. What you said of like having the long-term vision? Um, it's. I think it's really in every part of life, because that is literally when people crumble is when you don't have something big enough to give your life meaning, when everything is going wrong, when the breakup happens, when the money's tight, when nothing's going your way, when you're not getting the promotion, when your friends just don't seem to be like understanding you anymore, when you maybe you seem to be like understanding you anymore, when you maybe you want to move country. You're not sure how to make it happen all of these things that happen. If there's no bigger picture beyond it. All life feels unbearable, and so I think that it's not just in business that it allows us to keep going, but it's really in all of life.

Speaker 2:

I just couldn't agree more with everything you just said and like that word vision. Now that I'm getting out there, I'm working with more clients than ever before, working on group programs, courses, talking to so many people every single day. And if there's one thing that I've learned and I'm backing this up with 100% certainty is that I truly believe I think I've never told you this, actually I truly believe with 100% certainty that every single human being on earth, if they figure out what their purpose is and live to it, never give up up. This can bring them 10k months because it doesn't matter what it is. Every single human being on earth has a purpose.

Speaker 2:

Unfortunately, society, government states, a million things stand in between you and your purpose, the same way it used to be for me. And if you're stuck in that and if you don't connect with God, if you don't connect with like-minded individuals and mentors like I God bless have you, you might never find your purpose. And when you never find your purpose, where do you end? Being someone else's employee, that's it. No, because that's it. I know you love it, but that's it.

Speaker 2:

And if you connect with your purpose and it doesn't matter, you don't have to be a coach. You can be a singer, you can be a dancer, you can be an artist, you can be a creator, you can build something. And if it's your truth, if it's your story, if it's your ikigai, if it's your purpose, why shouldn't it work? No one on earth can hold you back from that. But it's your own responsibility to find your purpose. And, as I said, every single person listening to this, all of my 670,000 followers across platforms, every single one of them, 8 billion people, they all have it, but it's on them to make the steps towards the right direction. And the moment you decide to do that, see your whole life change. Because I work in dubai now, or barcelona or ibiza, or wherever I want to be. How insane is that?

Speaker 1:

yeah, that reminds me of that like instagram viral thing. That's like I used to love summer, but now I realized it can be summer whenever if you have money. So now I love money. But, yeah, and I think the thing is as well, like, obviously we're having this, like we have this conversation with each other for the reason that we know that, like that, that goal of being a business owner has been put on our hearts by God and that's like the people that are hopefully sharing this conversation with us as well as you listen to it is the people that are hopefully sharing this conversation with us as well as you listen to.

Speaker 1:

It is the people that have that same goal in their hearts from God, because I absolutely believe that many, many people's purpose may lead them to being so fulfilled and happy in the role. That's perfect for them. That is like being employed by somebody else, and sometimes I think, as well, when you are struggling's perfect for them. That is like being employed by somebody else, and sometimes I think as well, when you are struggling to build something, that question is in your mind is like maybe I'm just not made for this. I'm like do I actually have what it takes to be like this crazy vision I have in my mind of this woman who is so abundant and peaceful and she's got all these things and she's living that instagram life and whatever, and with the like dream husband in the house, and it's like, is that really possible for me? And I think the way that you know that is if, like you have a burning desire for it, like that's literally how you can feel within your body. What your purpose is is if you have a burning desire for it. And that's sometimes confusing, obviously, because our ego has a lot of desires for things that are not placed there by god but are maybe placed there by opposing forces, by our programming, by our trauma and things like that. But it's really good because god doesn't really let us like take shortcuts or let us skip over what's meant for us. So it's going to keep coming back. It's going to keep coming back, no matter how much you try to like stay in that normal life, stay in the comfort zone.

Speaker 1:

Those dreams and those goals are just going to keep knocking on your door until you like answer, and that can also get very frustrating and annoying the longer that you kind of have like one foot in, one foot out and you're not going all in on your purpose, on your dreams.

Speaker 1:

The frustration just builds up and builds up and it's like there's so much potential energy, like surrounding you. It pushes, it pushes in on you and it feels like anxiety, it feels like stress. It feels like anxiety, it feels like stress, it feels like frustration and you might experience more I'm going to say destruction, but yeah, like destruction, more issues arising in your life that are just basically pushing you to say I need to make you uncomfortable so that you'll move, because this is not where you're supposed to be. And so I think the thing that we can all do to make life easier for ourself is to just move, to just take action, to just start before you feel ready and just follow that burning desire that God has put within you before. Like the whole universe has to conspire to make you so uncomfortable and to make it so loud that you have to do it you just have to do it.

Speaker 2:

And as a little push to really make you do it, one of my one of my favorite sayings are in islam is that we say that if god has given you a desire for something, it can manifest into physical reality, which means you having that desire to build a brand, to build a business, to be seen and heard and understood by hundreds of thousands of people. If that's what you want, if that is your desire, you can have it, and then the only thing standing between you and that ideal future is yourself. That's it. That's all I have to say on this.

Speaker 1:

I think you really summed it all up perfectly and I know that somebody is probably listening to this and being reminded of all the things that they haven't done yet, all the things that they want to do, hopefully like some of the steps that you've already taken, depending on where you are in your journey, and like just write it down, because sometimes you listen to these things and the ideas coming into your mind and you feel the motivation or whatever it might be. But obviously all of those feelings are temporary. Motivation is temporary, feeling excited about your vision is temporary, and what's going to really define you is what you do when you don't feel like it, when the motivation has faded, when you feel disconnected from the vision, when you don't feel that like presence of the universe supporting you. That is going to be the crucial moment that decides whether you actually are going to be like sitting on a podcast, like this next year telling your story of how you became this successful business owner and grew this following and all these things, whatever your heart desires. So I want you to write it down literally right now I don't care unless you're driving and then, as soon as you stop driving, I want you to write it down of what are you going to do differently in this next week, because nothing changes unless you change.

Speaker 1:

It doesn't matter how many hours of podcast you listen to Definitely still recommend listening to them, because it does help with your vibration when you're absorbing the energy and the words of people who've already done what you want to do. But you have to take action, as we've been saying through this whole conversation. So I want you to write that point down specifically. To write that point down specifically the more action that you take, the more and more trust you're going to feel, not only within yourself and building up that evidence that you actually are an action taker and you can trust yourself and you are capable of holding that responsibility of being that business owner and being that boss, but also the more you're going to build trust for god, for a higher power, for universe, for however you relate to that power that supports and creates and sustains all of us. This was such a nice late night conversation, um spirit. Do you have any final words for the people?

Speaker 2:

First of all, I want to say that this was like a completely random, spontaneous decision with the topic and everything, and I'm so insanely grateful that we did this and very happy with how it turned out. One more thing that comes spontaneously to my mind is I had an onboarding call today with a VIP client. Her name is Peggy. She's incredible and she's going to start do her content and everything from now on. And if there's one more thing that I would like to add is the world's not going to change by you posting for a week or two or three or four.

Speaker 2:

Consistency is key, we all know that. But be neutral Doesn't matter what the outcome is. You posted something, someone saw it, and it doesn't matter if it's ten people or a hundred, okay, or a hundred thousand. What matters is that you are showing up as who you are like, as your authentic and best self, every single day, and then maybe maybe the tenth content piece, maybe the 200th one, goes viral, and then the rest will be history. And this has been possible for so, so many people.

Speaker 2:

Why shouldn't you be one of them? If you have that desire, take action, be neutral about this. You got this. And, mini, thank you so much for being my mentor, for being the incredible human being you are, for being my best friend. I love the space that you've created and I can't say it often enough how grateful I am for you and what kind of inspiration you are for my life. I would never be the person, the human being, the, the successful business owner, coach and ceo which is so incredible. Sometimes I still can't believe this if it hadn't been for you. Cheers to you.

Speaker 1:

you are the best you're so sweet, you're the sweetest, and I really, really, really appreciate and receive all of your kind words and it just shows what a giving giving soul you are that you say these, these beautiful things. You're always one post away. You're one post away from a whole new life. If this conversation touched you, then please, I would love to hear from you. Drop me a dm at mini courtney coach and I would love to know why this conversation was helpful for you. I'd love to hear from you guys, because I'm like having a whole conversation with you and I see that you guys are listening, but I never see your faces. So I'd love to connect with you on Instagram. I'm sure Spira would as well. You can find us both over there. I'll leave all of our links below in the show notes and I will see you in the next podcast. Have a beautiful, blessed week.
