Good morning, gorgeous souls. Welcome back to the Beauty and Positivity Podcast. My name is Alyssa Skinner, and I created this channel as an outlet to bring awareness to your abundance and your inevitable success. As a successful entrepreneur myself, I run multiple businesses, which I'm so proud to say. And it's very important to me that I share with you the mindset that I built to get here and the mindset I'm still building. And I just know that you are building your mindset right now just by filling your mind with content like this. This type of content is just bettering you, and it's already creating your success in your very near experiences in life. When I was still in the process of building, this was the only content I would consume. Even to this day. So we literally created the term doom scrolling and we just laugh it off, but that shows you where we've gotten in life, right? So with all that being said, I'm just so grateful you are here. You chose to be here and listen to this type of information and use your time and energy to better yourself and expand your life. In today's episode, this is going to be about competition. I know that a lot of business owners or people who want to be business owners follow me in this content that I put out. And so this mindset, this perspective shift is arguably the number one perspective you need to run a business, to be successful in your business. And that is these few statements. I don't believe in competition. There is room for everyone. Everyone could do what I do, and it would not affect me or my level of success. I truly believe in these things, and it took a little bit of time, but not much because when you start doing this kind of work, it lights you up and it makes you excited. And I find it very easy to change my beliefs when the belief is something that benefits me, right? So I truly believe that all the clients that are meant for me find me. I say that all the time. And I believe that because I believe that abundance and um my inevitable abundance and success is always my birthright. Like I don't believe in a scarcity mindset, and that can take some work, especially if you are around people in your industry or just in general in life who talk about competition and you know, trying to market in a way of like that there's scarcity and that you have to convince people to come see you, you don't. Just your energy sitting at home by yourself. You could be in the energy of people value me and people find me effortlessly, right? So we're gonna work on that today. But there's also a vibration and energy attached to it. So when someone has a different mindset, different energy, different vibration than I do, they simply don't match me and they will not find me and show up at my salon. There's just too big of a gap between our energies. It's not a like versus like match. Like we are magnets, right? Like attracts like. So if we are not alike, you're not attracting one another. And so that's another story because we've all had a client that wasn't a good fit, and so we'll talk about that. But someone who matches your energy, a stylist who matches that client, the client who matches that stylist, they are going to receive abundance through one another. The client is going to receive everything they want and more through the stylist or service provider. I'm in the beauty industry, so I say stylist. And the stylist or service provider is going to receive abundance through that client. It's an energy exchange. In our 3D world, we use money to exchange for things. And so your service is very much worth whatever energy exchange you are asking for. No one has to see you. They simply are choosing you. And all the right people right for you choose you. So it's very important that you shift your mindset from thinking of competition, thinking about your competition, what they're doing, what you need to jump on, what trends you need to do. No, not necessary. And think of your creativity in your own business with yourself, how you can better grow yourself in your business. Don't think about the market being oversaturated, people don't have enough money to spend on my services within today's economy. That's all scarcity mindset. That is lack. If you believe there's a lack of clients available to you, you believe that your competition is taking them away, and your success and your finances are going to take that hit. So when you stop believing that there's competition at all, because no one is going to take any clients that are right for you. It's impossible. Energetically, they're going to find you. No one can take that away from you. Just go straight to your creativity. That's where your abundance is in your business. Stop thinking about what people are doing in the industry, what they're not doing, what you need to do, why they're better, why they're worse. Go straight to thoughts of creativity. Worry about you, your business, what you're offering, what sets you apart, what is fun to add, what what is just fun? Because fun always leads to success. At least that's what I believe. When you're focused on competition, you're stating that there is a lack. And whatever you state is what life will bring you. You will now experience evidence of lack in your life, in your business, whatever it is. So when you shift your mindset and you start thinking to the creativity that you could put into your business, your social media, your services, that is where infinite abundance comes from. And abundance is infinite. There's always more than enough for you. There's always an overflow available to you. You just have to tap into it. So let's say your competition is laying in the sunshine. You're not looking at them and going, Oh my god, they're taking up all the sunshine. I have to run out there and grab some sunshine for myself before they take it all. The sunshine is just shining infinitely, right? You're not watching the sunshine run out as they use it up. And so think of your success as sunshine. No one can take up the clients met for you. Abundance is infinite. And abundance is money, it's clients, it's joy, it's all the experiences that you want to experience. And that is source, that is God, the universe, whatever term you prefer. It's constantly shining abundance, it's constantly flowing to you, whatever it is that you want. But how you decide what you tap into is where your thoughts are. So think about where your thoughts are. We talk about this in lots of previous episodes. Your thoughts are telling you, your emotions are telling you what you're tapped into at the moment. And that's what you're receiving more of. Because people say God is everything, right? So that means you are going to receive whatever it is. Ask and it is given. Ask and it shall be given. If you are thinking thoughts of scarcity, lack, you know, everything's expensive, people can't afford me, or there's not enough clients because my market is so oversaturated. That's exactly what you're gonna get. So many successful actors and motivational speakers. I mean, even um, uh, what's his name? Harvey. Um gosh, what is his name? Anyways, he says something in one of his speeches, and it's like, Women that say, Oh, all men are all dogs, you know, they're all the same, you're gonna meet every single one of them. I I kind of butchered his statement, but it's the point is you get what you expect, you get what you think about. So, how do you receive what you want? You think the thoughts that you want, and then the thoughts lead to the emotion. Abundance is always flowing to you. So, like we discussed last episode, your thoughts create the emotion, and so you want thoughts that create the emotion of feeling good. You're gonna start feeling gratitude for all the clients you do have, you're gonna start feeling gratitude for the money you received in your business. You're gonna start feeling gratitude for everything you've built up until this point, or everything you're going to build. If you're here listening to this episode, that just tells me you're someone with the drive to make it happen because this is what you're spending your time on. People who don't make it, people that are in the lack mindset and they think there's not enough and they're always in this victim mindset, they are not spending their time listening to things like this right now. You are already ahead in life, and it's really important you realize that. Sorry, my little jelly eye mask fell off, and I'm trying to fix it. You know I have on a jelly eye mask if I'm doing a podcast. So your success is inevitable. It's very clear simply by you being here right now. Look at everything you currently have, feel the gratitude for how far you've come. Everything hard you've ever been through, you made it through, and you are here right now. Look at the past version of yourself, the younger you, and just love her and thank her because she made herself into you. She got you where you are right now. So she is the strong one. She is the one who got you here. So just love your past self and imagine you know, you've grown this far, you've grown this much into who you are. Imagine looking back on the current version of you one day. You're going to be like, wow, I just keep growing. I just life just keeps getting better. And so just always appreciate the moment you're in right now because you're gonna look back on it one day and be so proud of how far you've come. It's always been in you, you've always had it in you, and I just want you to feel that for a moment. So I want you to now think about all the desires that you have, where you are right now, where you used to be, where you want to be, all the dreams you have. Because right now you're probably in a place that you used to dream about. And now you're this new version of you with new dreams, bigger goals, bigger desires. You're meant to expand. This is a good thing that you want more. This is not selfish. This is growth, this is expansion, this is evolution. We are always learning, we're always receiving, and we're always getting to the next level. There's always the desire to experience more love, more joy, more abundance, more money, because more money brings more adventure and more love and more connection. So expanding and growing is good. And I want you to think about your new desires, your new dreams, goals, the dream life you now want to live as the version you are today. And think about receiving it. It is coming to you because it's already yours. You're already in the middle of life shifting right now. Think about how far you've come and how different your life is today than it used to be five years ago, ten years ago. One day you were in the middle of everything shifting and you didn't even realize it. That is where you are right now. There's always a time delay because everything has to be created. The time delay is the creation. So one day you're just gonna look back and be like, wow, it went by so fast. And just think about that because that makes me feel good when I'm like, I get excited when I think about the dream, the new dream life I have, and one day I'm gonna live it. I'm just like, oh my gosh, it makes me really excited to kind of just enjoy the trap that I'm in right now because I'm gonna look back on it. It's gonna be my younger self one day. I'm gonna be so proud of her. So anything you desire is yours. If you keep your focus on it, don't let your focus go towards what you don't want. Don't let your focus go to what if. Because what if it all works out? What if you look back on this one day and go, everything worked out perfectly? Your brain, your nervous system, your body, it has to answer questions. So ask the questions you want. What if I have perfect timing? Now you're gonna find all the evidence in life in your experience of why you have perfect timing. What if everything that's happening right now is the catalyst to my dream life? Right? Like you don't know the future. We just try to control everything. We try to guess everything that's happening and why it's happening, what the future is gonna be. But you are in the middle of the creation right now. So just keep your thoughts where you want them to be. What makes you feel good? Your your emotions are your guide. It tells you what you're asking for more of. So if you're not feeling good, you feel bad, you feel mad, frustrated, upset, defeated, that is simply your body telling your soul, um, no, we don't want more of that. It's just a signal. And so what you can do when you feel that, just go straight to something that makes you feel good. Think of a memory, think of your future, think of something you have right now. And anything. It could just be whatever makes you feel good, whatever makes you feel gratitude, even if that's just your connection to the universe or God. If that's all you can find that feels good in that moment, just do that. Thank you so much for listening. If you like today's episode, I have the biggest course coming that I've ever built.
