Speaker 1:

Hi, my loves. My name is Ruby Lee entrepreneur, digital nomad, croissant obsessed, free spirit and founder of the earn your hustle movement and this is the earn your hustle podcast. You'll be so motivated to start that business. You've always wanted to grow it unapologetically and go all in earning powerfully with ease and grace. I'm so excited that you're here and listening in and I'm so grateful that you made it so welcome to the own your hustle way of life, full of freedom, a dose of woo and plenty of random tangent laughs along the way. You know, I started my company working nine to five too as a recruiter. I was working for a ventures based business in the urban cool city of Melbourne, Australia and today I'm traveling the world young family and toward working with the most amazing humans ready to build a career in life by design strapping my love. You are about to binge on all of the most incredible guests that I bring onto these podcasts and guess what? They started their businesses through purpose and calling mostly while still working a day job. Let me also share this. I called my company on your hustle as a reminder for us daily that we get to love our soul led hustle or now decisions to grow big, stop playing small, create with joy, take the risk, say yes to adventure and from time to time be okay with those meltdown moments. These episodes are filled with joy and strategy, spirituality and business, tactical tips, big picture concepts, musings, and of course some of that Ruby colored energy. So if you're ready, I'm ready. Let's get started. Hi everybody and welcome to another episode of the own your hustle podcast. Firstly, can I just say, this week has been so beautiful. It has just been such a wonderful way to open up the year with my family, connecting with in particular my husband's side of the family here in Thailand and I honestly just love my hobbies, family[inaudible] so much. I could talk to both of my inlaws for hours and hours on end and my brother in law and I actually get along so well. He's genuinely someone that I would be friends with and what I just adore about him is he is a Taurus, much like my father who's also a Taurus. What I love about the qualities is that they are just so grounded and so down to earth, very practical, very slow. You know, like they're just, they're real molars. They really think about things and they assess and analyze everything. They're super methodical, methodical, you know what I mean? Like it's that sort of real slow grounding energy and you can see the balance here. You can see why someone like Mae who's a real fire sign can really relate to that sort of energy. It's so opposite to me. Anyway, it, we've spent the last few days in this mansion here in bank towel when Mike and I actually booked it out with six bedrooms, all of which have their own on suites, a private pool for all of us to enjoy. And the best part, the best part you guys, is that it comes with staff. Now. It's been one of our true desires to be able to give our family experiences like this, to have the means to treat the family. Two beautiful experiences that the ones that we really are so blessed to enjoy now that our business is flourishing. We've been traveling the world now for just under a year and we really wanted to take it to that next level where we would be able to treat six to 10 family members at one time. So we saw this mansion come up here and we just thought, you know what? We need to do this. What a beautiful way to give back and have a perfect start to 2020 and we booked this a couple of months ago so it's amazing to have it now all come to life. Our house manager, her name is gob, she is so wonderful. She's been the house manager here for, gosh I think over 10 years. She told me and she'll literally cook whatever we request. She'll do all the food shopping, the food prep, the cooking. She'll set up the dinner table and the lunch for us, like the, the setting itself is so gorgeous with like candles and flowers and Oh my gosh, it is gorgeous. And you know, like things like, you know, we will go for a swim or go to the beach during the day and then we'll come back and we'll hang out wet bodies and you know, beachwear and whatnot on the barstools so that the sun can just dry it, try it off. But by the time she'll like make our beds in the morning, we also find there's like pressed clothes for us, like clean press clothes folded and it's sitting on our beds in the morning. I mean, honestly, what more could you ask for? She is just so gorgeous and you could just tell like, she just genuinely loves her job as a house manager. Like she's just so refreshing to have around and just someone who is just like really, really great local knowledge too. So she'll tell us like how much to pay, you know, certain Tribers or what a certain tour like, which are the good tourists to go on. If my mother and father in law want to be able to like go to James Bond Island for example. And with all of this being said, this is something that I have been really manifesting this last 12 months. We really wanted to get the business up to a certain point where we were able to, yes, live the lifestyle that we so-called in, but also be able to give back to our family. It's just been a huge, huge part of why I do what I do and I'm super grateful that my clients have just been so attracted to me. They'd been magnetized towards me and every time I raise my prices, I'm grateful for new clients that are stepping up into that zone. And as a result, we've been able to really grow our business into consistent$50,000 months, have over six figure launches every time we do a big course launch and now we're really set up to the point where we know what we're doing. Our strategy feels water tight. We have such a strong vision as to where we want to take the business over this next decade and to be able to now sit here and say yes, like we've hired a mansion, we have a mouse mouse manager, a house manager, hopefully also a mass manager kicked them out of the bill of plays golf. Thank you so much. But you know, just be able to easily flow into this lifestyle and we don't even stress about money anymore. I mean it's been a while since we've even talked about like you know, stressing of are we going to be able to make that like it has been a long, long, long time since we've been in that money mindset nowadays. It's like, okay, what can we reach to an extent to what is our next level? And this is super important. When you're manifesting, you know that you don't hang too tightly onto the process, but you know that you're always going to be supported at the same time you're taking these viable actions that you're not overspending to call in the lifestyle that you want. Like everything we've done in our own life and our own business is really from a very grounded and practical place. And I was asked actually a question, where do you feel most organized in your life? And I had like my big burst of laughter because I thought, Oh my gosh, like you're really asking me this. I'm a vegetarian, I'm not very organized but easily and in flow. I think both Michael and I just looked at each other because it was a question from someone else and we just said, well it's, her finances were so organized there. We just know, you know, where our money's allocated to. We're so confident with it. We're so knowing of like where, where it's flowing into, like what parts of how money is flowing into supporting different parts of our life. So we have a mortgage, so we have property portfolio, we have shares, we have investments, we have our business, we have our kids' schooling. Henry goes to private school, we have trust funds for the kids. We have our own slush funds. Like we just know where everything's going. We know it. Like Mike said, Oh, I know it inside out. And I'm like, yeah, me too. No, but I do, I mean we, we catch up every month and talk specifically about the energy and the flow of money. So this is where I want to challenge you back. Where are you most organized in your life, in your business, in your day to day and where is it that you could possibly be a little bit more focus to call in it and manifest the life that you want? New manifestations that actually come up for me this year and the vision for it has really been, I think in maybe like three months in the making where now I can kind of see clearly what my heart's true desire is. And the soul takes a little while to see in clarity like what giving us like clues and pings and little light bulb moments of like, yes, this is what feels like a really genuine and authentic life. Um, you know, for the last like three years, it's been growing a coaching business so that we can travel the world and have the freedom to live wherever I pack up. And if we see a beautiful brochure of like Bora Bora, we can do that. Or you know, we'll just book a flight with very short notice and this is the lifestyle that we live now. It's so beautiful and it's just our normal. So it doesn't ever feel like, Oh, it's just for a short period of time or it's only for one year or two years. It just feels like we'll be living this lifestyle now. It's just what we do. And you know, when you get to this point with seeing your manifestation come to life, we're often challenged with, well what does that next level life look like? Let's step that up. Or let's creatively and joyfully call in new exciting things. So I thought I wanted to share at least where the vision is at right now, what I'm calling in mainly because I like to have things on record and if anything, you know, if no one else ever listens to this podcast, which you know, celebrating almost, we're almost at a hundred K downloads. I'm so, so, so grateful. But even if it was just for me to go back to and reference to remember that podcast idea, you know, however long ago I said this and here it is, this year, 2020 is the year of the retreats. I am hosting several private and open retreats in 2020 all of you know, with I guess with the vision to eventually buy a retreat home or a retreat space in the next 12 months. So even saying that out loud, I feel so confident with it. Like it's not like, Oh, I wonder if it'll happen. Like in my mind it's already happened and I'm right now searching for these spaces. Like I'm actively looking now on different real estate sites and it's not going to be in Australia, it'll be overseas. So we definitely have a few moving pieces in play in order for us to see this vision come to life such as immigration, lawyers, we're speaking to people that have done this before and what property taxes look like. So we've got a lot of the practicalities moving on the chessboard, which is what I'm referring to. Like when you're manifesting, what are you also doing in the physical plane that's matching up with your spiritual desires? And all of this might not seem totally sexy. I mean like speaking to an immigration lawyer, Oh my God, like yawn. But at the same time I know it has to be done. No offense if you're an immigration lawyer, please make sense of it for me. How can an Ozzie girl buy a house overseas in particular California or you know, I'm definitely seeing like Beachside residents. But you know, I'm definitely excited to share more about the process and more of what comes, you know, an unveils itself and my way and you know, being able to celebrate like even the small wins with all of you and I love these sorts of things. When you see like manifestations come to pass with others that you might be watching on, whether it be you know, other podcasters that are sharing their vision or other family members, you know, for example, it's just you want to be a part of that, you know, it's like Oh my gosh, yes. And you just want to root for them. So you know, thank you in advance for supporting this dream and I want to be able to bring more retreats to the owner, hustle community and tribe. And you know what, I will just say this, I am so confident in hosting retreats. I have always been that gal that's very much an in-person type gal. And it's funny how like sometimes you see it's full circle moment where I was always an in-person type of gal where whichever company I worked for, I was always the one that would be like emceeing, hosting, bringing people into conversation. People would walk out of my sessions fully revived, inspired, energized, transformed. And I would have managers who had specifically asked me back to do their trainings for their business units and not anybody else on my team. And I just loved that and you know, taking myself out of the physical delivery of that energy into an online virtual space was super scary. Go back to my previous podcast where I share my biggest fears around how I thought and I had this belief and a story I was telling myself that I wasn't able to fully connect with people unless I was with them in person. I don't know if you've experienced this yourself or if you go through similar fears like this. I was definitely struggling with that and it wasn't until the start of last year when I started to see significant growth in the owner hustle community. When I started to see people sharing their transformations with me as to like, you know, their learnings from my trainings and my groups. Even free groups like the transformation and the energy that they felt. Even just being in my presence in that form was just such a beautiful confirmation of exactly what I kind of needed to go through and learn in my own time, in my own space. But you know, now the full circle moment is I been able to grow my brand and my personal brand and my business brand virtually to reach clients that I would not have been able to reach if I was just in Melbourne, Australia hosting workshops and facilitating local local workshops, for example. But now that my clients are international, that actually the majority of my business is now I would say out of Australia, which is just incredible. I mean like when I started, I was, all of my clients were just from Melbourne, Australia. That was my segment. And then I remember the first time I got a client who was based in Sydney, Australia, and I just screamed, I couldn't believe it. I'm like, Oh my God, I'm virtual. And then I remember getting my first client from Canada, shout out Lydia MacDonald.

Speaker 2:

Oh my. I've got a Canadian.

Speaker 1:

And it just kept going and going. I had my first client from Singapore and then I remember the first client I got from the United States. Oh, every single one. It was a real celebration because it, to me, it felt like I had, I've always had this visualization practice that I've done where I picture the globe, just like a spinning globe, you know, and I, every time I had a client from a new country or a new city that was joining me, like a paid client for example, I would see that part of the globe, like a little dot light up like ding, ding, ding, ding. And the more that the business started to grow, I could see like little dots light up all over the glow and it was just magical. And that's just where it's at right now. And it just feels amazing. And so now being able to say, yes, like I've done the online thing, I've growed my brand, I'm still gonna continue. Like, you know, absolutely blowing that up into the next decade. I am so grateful. Now I'm able to say, Hey guys, I'm hosting a public and open retreat here in Bali in May 7th and eighth which is a thing y'all, it's a thing. I'll leave a link below. There are only tickets left to attend the retreat. No longer tickets available to stay at the retreat with us. So if you're interested, you're more than welcome to come for the two days. You will just need to find your own accommodation. And I haven't checked the numbers for a while. I believe there's only like three, I want to say three to five ticket only tickets available. So go and check out the link if you would love to come to one of my retreats and the retreat sold out in less than a week. So when I, what I mean by that is the in-person, sorry that in accommodation part of it and I had people flying from all over the world. You guys like Canada to Bali is no joke. That is a big freaking flight. I have people flying in from the U S from the UK, from Germany, from other parts of Asia, from Australia, from New Zealand. I mean we're just going to have a freaking amazing a party, but also be able to celebrate where our business is at, where our spiritual goals are at. A lot of it is super, super grounded into becoming a more unapologetic authentic version of you and my retreats will continue to evolve and grow and I can't wait to involve more of you into this space and integrate into this space. So in the next 12 months as we find our retreat home and you know, I really want it to be a home rather than a space, the more I think about it. So I want to actually live there, have bedrooms there. So where I'm now in Thailand and how I described this mansion and having an in house manager, I am actually pulling all of this energy into my visualization practice into my being, letting it just like, you know, steep in there knowing that this is a total possibility for me and I want to be able to invite you to my home and have a really beautiful integrated time here with all things like that we do with your business, with your business coach and in your business. And you know, I'm just my into my into kind of speak. My intuitive side sounded like I was sneezing my chew my into my intuitive side is blossoming and growing is so much, I really feel like so much of this is coming into play. Human design is integrating into my business coaching now, Astro geography's integrating into my business now as I'm attracting a lot of soon to be digital nomads. I hate, I hate the word want to be, you know, it's like I was going to say wannabe digital nomads. It's just like, no, that just sounds desperate or something. It's like soon to be digital nomads who want to learn about Astro lines and also how I've done it. So a lot of my own personal spiritual interests have now come out of what was available. I kind of put a veil on it because I'm like, who would want to learn from me? Classic one-on-one imposter syndrome stuff. But then my clients would just say like one of my private clients, Monica, is just like, Bruce, I really want to learn more about human design. Can we, can we just put that into our plan? And I'm like, hell yes. And then one of my other clients, Dan, he's like, I really, really want to learn more about what it's like to use human design, but also have a lot more spiritual tools available to me. So we're doing like breathing, visualization, journaling, human design, astrology, everything. We're encompassing all of the into dance business. So this is where I get to say what I mean about living your most authentic you is have a think about what are some of your personal preferences. Like what do you do on the day to day that you in your own quiet time, if nobody else was watching, what would be the top things that you would gravitate towards doing and where is your energy spent? So I actually did this exercise this morning. It was like an Epic journaling exercise. And hang on, just let me go grab my journal. I shall be right back. All right. All right. I am back. I've got my journal here with me, but Oh my gosh. This Epic journaling that I did. Um Oh, okay. Not that page. I do so much journaling. Sometimes I forget how much, and I've literally just had to flip back through four pages to find this thing. Okay. So the questions were things like what would you spend money on? What would you spend your energy on if you really could live your most authentic life? So what came up here was, well I spend a of money on luxury homes, so a lot of my accommodation, I'm sorry, a lot of my money goes towards beautiful spaces that I rent either through either through Airbnb or through local brokers. And we take out longterm rentals wherever we are. Like our place that we stayed in Huntington beach was so freaking beautiful. The place we stayed in Sofia Bulgaria was so stunning. Now that we're here in this mansion, like once again, I really see beauty in whatever we are, but there are some places where they're just like, it's just even more beautiful. Dubai was beautiful. I mean I could keep going, but that was just wanting that I would never sacrifice on. Like, I would never go, Oh, you know, I'm going to like, just take a certain sort of standard and then save money here. Like it's that sort of energy. It's like I will not take second best when it comes to the places in which I reside and live. It's just filled in my Instagram feed, beautiful homes. My YouTube feed is filled with, you know that guy, I forget his name, Ryan. And he does not Ryan toy review. The Teddy's obsessed. If anyone has kids, you'll know what I mean. May 21 million last year. Can you believe that? I can. I can't. That's, that's the generation that we live in. But Ryan, who does the real estate reviews, you know, like, I can't remember his last name. You guys will know who I mean. Anyway, he does like these ones, particularly New York city and I love New York. And so every time I watch it, I'm in such like a manifesting state because, you know, whenever we are watching TV, we are actually in a form of hypnosis. So your brain waves turn to alpha or fade away waves. I think it's, um, I can't remember which one it is. I want to say it's alpha waves where you sit there and you are just subconsciously absorbing so much more than you realize from a very conscious standpoint. So I always make an effort to, whenever I'm like watching something sort of inverted commas mindlessly, even if it's through YouTube and I want to wind down, I'm always watching things that just make me feel so elevated. That's why I hate watching like shows where everyone's fighting all the time. Like, you know, drama field shows and things like that. What is that? What's that series called? Housewives or something. You know how the, every city's got like Housewives and they just fucking fight all the time. I'm like, no, I don't want to program my subconscious to think that that's normal. And that's funny and that's cool cause to me, no, but I will do luxury home tours with Ryan cause I'm just like, Oh my God. So good. Ryan sir hunt, that's his name. Okay. Other things that I spend my money on is a lot of coaching and personal development. So I was did an interview, my last interview with Melissa Lynn. If you haven't caught that yet, go back and have a listen. We talked about professional development and I think her and I were about the same where we spent just under$100,000 into our business on professional development coaching, working with mentors and guides. I spend, you know, in a flowy way, but it definitely is something that I really, really value. Um, flights. So we definitely spend a lot on flights given that everywhere we go we're buying three to four plane tickets. So I know I'm someone who will not sacrifice on a bad airline. I will always try and find nice airlines and whilst we can't, you know, at the moment bring all four of us through business class, wherever we go. We definitely always up-leveled to like star economy or economy plus I think they call it more leg room. You can preorder your meals. You always have entertainment, you just have get a little bit more like, you know, fun stuff happening. But if I'm traveling alone, I will always travel business class. If I'm traveling with the family, we'll do like economy plus. So that's something that we're doing more of this year and calling, you know, the next level in. And the other thing that I spend money on is my family so they go. So it's either directly giving my family money or buying them experiences or shouting them things randomly and always giftings. So this is just something that I freaking love doing. I love Twain, I love my family so much, I just always want to give back to them. So this is an interesting question. You know like what are you spending your money on? What do you want to be spending your money on, right? Like rather than bills and mortgage and all that stuff that sometimes feels like you're just earning to live and scrap through and make a living. What is it like? This answer would have been very different for me. Three years ago it would have been paying off the car, paying off the mortgage, paying off the credit card. I didn't even know like it was very mindless. Whereas now like looking at these, it's so intentional and this is just our lifestyle. This is just how much has changed. It just is so beautiful to see this. But then the next question is, well, what is the most organized part of your life? And there it is, business strategy launches and client time, financial money allocation with very, very organized with our travel plans. We're very organized with family time. So there's like a lot of nonnegotiables in there. Once again, three years ago if I were to answer that, what is most organized? I suppose it would be my calendar. Like you know, mostly like employer-based stuff, you know, meetings and things like that or having to meet candidates because I was a recruiter or you know, attend interviews and things like that. None of, none of that would have been answered from a point of view of what felt like the most authentic life to me. And you know, with me being my own boss. No freaking way. So anyway, this is so cool. I'm going to leave some of the questions below. So if you wanted to do a journaling exercise like this, it brings a lot of consciousness to your day to day, what you're visualizing and what you're calling in. And I realized, you know, just how important it is. Every, every year I'll do this and just seeing how different and how much it's changed is in itself, such validation that the universe is always backing us for what we want. And that is just such a fundamental truth in my life. I never ever second guess it. Even let's say if launches are a lot slower, if you're a coach or if you're a service based entrepreneur and you think, but I was calling in like 10 people and I've only got one, and then you think to yourself, wow, geez, doesn't that just sound so ungrateful? Because the universe always delivering so much more of what we want, but time and the way in which we want it live, it is just a construct, right? Like time is made up whether you want to choose to believe that or not. The universe doesn't work in time. The universe works in energy. So if you are not energetically aligned to the goals that you have set, and if you don't truly believe that you are deserving of what you're calling in into your manifestations, then it's just a matter of working through, following that thread unknotting where that block is and coming back into your manifestation with a brand new set of eyes and an open heart, a much more open heart. So a great example is when I finished, so when I finished working with my old employer, I was like, that's it. I'm all in. I'm going to start my own business and I'm going to have an awesome client base of career coaching clients when I was a career coach and I'm going to be booked out. What happened was I never actually felt deserving of this. And I guess the reason was I felt like, Oh, I hadn't put in my time and effort and who would hire me as a career coach when there's like so-and-so career coach like Susie and Danny who have done it for 10 years. And then I think to myself, well maybe I just need to like put more effort and more time in. So for me it was a real like timestamp thing. So the manifestation eventually came true three years later when I did have booked out clients. But in between that time and the three years, I actually went back and worked part time at the tech startup company because I didn't feel deserving to have my own business that was fully booked. It was also like when I ended my first marriage and it was very painful. It was a very slow divorce period. Very slow because I think we kind of, I don't know if anyone can sort of relate to this in breakups. We just sort of thought, Oh yeah, like we'll deal with the formality of the breakup, especially if it's a marriage. So I signed the divorce papers and splitting finances and all that stuff. We'll deal with it when we have to, but let's just men to the emotional side of it first. And that period took almost two years. So we had actually separated and the divorce papers had not been signed for almost two years now. In that time I had met Michael and so actually like fun fact when I first started dating Michael, I was technically still married because we hadn't signed the freaking divorce papers like awkward. So obviously having met Michael and recognizing my soul, recognizing his and going, Holy shit, we have a real future together. I had to get my act in order, contact my ex and be like, hi, can we just like sign those divorce papers? And that brought up like a whole bunch of other stuff that I will go into into another episode I'm sure. But in between ending my marriage and meeting Mike in that two year period, Oh my gosh, like I felt so undeserving of having any kind of relationship. I mean I had a lot of like very, very loose kind of relationships and never anything committing. And I went on a lot of dates and things like that, but I was never that girl that would commit. And then I would have guys say to me, well what's wrong? Like, things are going so well, like we're so connected. And I'm like, yeah, but I'm not really like really in that space. And you know, there was a time there where I thought I never ever want to get married again and I never ever want to have a longterm relationship. Like who would waste their time on that? And then I realized once I followed that thread and found where the knot was, it was like a triple knot. I realized it was because I thought, well I had already made such a, not a poor decision in my first relationship, but if I had already invested so much time into a 10 year relationship, what's even the point? And I had the doors like so closed, so tightly closed and that was probably the real like rock bottom for me. You know, like so much stuff had happened in my own family. Everything was breaking down financially. I was in a ruin owes, you know, just so just so not me. I had lost so much weight, I was so unhappy with life and I made a lot of money. Like I was close to making 200,000 a year when I was working in my with my employer and I just couldn't, couldn't tell you for the life of it, like what I spent money on, like no savings. Can you believe that? Like that was the thing, like I was just spending money on designer bags and expensive holidays, but none of that was making me happy. It was just filling a hole. And of course back then like things were so numb, there was no such thing as manifestation for me. I just could no manifests like a single thing. And if anyone is going through that right at the moment, there is so much inner work that can be done and whilst it might seem like a huge Everest to climb, sometimes just bringing some through journaling and through meditation and through surrounding yourself with the right people, it can heal you so fast and that is exactly what happened. It healed so quickly. I'm quickly stopping enduring this hopefully inspiring conversation to share a gift with you that I don't offer any where else on my platforms.

All right, I'll let you get back to this amazing episode. A lot of what I'm talking here with this journaling exercise is really drawn from Lacey Phillips. She has just inspired me so deeply and in such a, Oh I didn't even know like a really just connected way. It's really, you know when you find someone online and you just drink up their content, their energy because you feel like that is so what I need right now, and I know a lot of you have said this about me and the earn your hustle brand and what we bring to life and I'm so grateful. Thank you so much. I, you know, I think sinking into this with Lacey and the work that she's doing me is just unbelievable. And she has this thing about like finding your most authentic code and I will leave her website below because if anyone is interested to go deeper with manifestation, she's the only one that I would truly recommend. So the authentic code exercise brought up my four kind of key elements that make up my code. So in no particular order, the first one that came up with spirituality and that is really about being connected to my most authentic self and being able to show up to you unapologetically without any bullshit. Like remove all the crap unfiltered. This is who I am. If you were to meet me in person, if you were to see my soul, you would just know me. There's a soul's recognition. The second thing for me is being seen or recognized. So I don't mean like, Oh recognized in the street, but recognized for the work I do and the legacy that I leave. So this is really linking to creating a community, being in a teacher space, like I've always loved being able to teach and guide and mentor and this is definitely a part of my authentic code. Also, the third part, the third part of my code is beauty. And this is something that was quite surprising. I actually had luxury written down, but Mike said, no, it's not necessarily luxury for you. And I think he's so bang on because it's not like I need to be in a place where I have designer goods everywhere and marble floors and gold columns and be completely served upon even though it's lovely, but it's beauty and you know, like right now we're in this mansion and it's surrounded by jungle palms and I feel just beautiful in this space. Like the light is beautiful here, the energy's beautiful here. I use the word beautiful a lot. It comes out so much in my languaging when I write Instagram posts or when I do podcasts or whenever I'm like saying hello to my clients that are female, you know, I'd just be like, Hey, beautiful. Um, and so there's just this theme that's always been there and I just realized that today and a lot of beauty is linked to luxury travel and a luxury style home. And everyone can sort of interpret that in their own way. Like luxuries are very open, you know, way of describing something that is gorgeous, but it's really linked to, for me, access to my highest self when I'm in a beautiful place. I find like I can just access my highest self a lot better. There's a lot of freedom financially that is attached to being surrounded by beautiful things. So implying you know when I'm financially free and when I have that security, I am, you know, surrounding myself with more things that bring more beauty into my life. And the last part of my code is so in no particular order obviously, but providing my, for my family, providing options and freedom for them. So you know, as the boys are getting older now, Henry's in high school this year, he's asking a lot of questions about well what do I do after high school? What if I don't want to go to university? What if I want to become an entrepreneur? What if I want to start my own business? All these sorts of things are coming up and he's seeing us travel the world and live this lifestyle. Danny, he's only four. But giving him freedom of where he studies and where he goes to school at the moment, it doesn't feel like a very traditional schooling method. It doesn't feel like we're going to be back in Australia where he has to move through the system. So we're looking at options like green school for example. Family also means leaving a lasting legacy for them and for them to sort of go, Oh mom and dad, they were just amazingly hot entrepreneurs and you know, just Oh my gosh, like they've taught us so much and leaving a form of generational wealth and balance. So I wanted to really share this with you today. I know it's been more of a riff. I did not intend for this to be likes just to sit down and chat, but I sometimes you just have to listen to where and what is guided, you know like not that I had an episode planned, but I definitely wanted to give you kind of more steps. I think the initial intention was to be like giving you guys steps on what to do if clients don't sign with you, which we'll definitely get to because I've got a lot to say about this, but this is just what sort of this manifested into an episode. So let me know. I've got to come up with a title for it, but let me know if you have really taken some things into account with your own life and it's just such a beautiful time of year. Any way to sink into this sort of conversation. I honestly truly believe that I'm having a conversation with you. It feels like you're in the room with me right now and in my head I'm hearing you say things back to me and nodding and smiling and going, yes, I agree. Or this is what happened, or no, not necessarily. Seriously. This is what goes through my mind and I picture you sitting in your car. I picked you taking your dog for a walk or going on a walk with your pram. I picture you at the gym listening and talking to me. Does that just sound like totally out of this world? Crazy. Anyway, thank you for tuning in. I honestly love your support so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And if you did love it, make sure you screenshot this episode. All the shares are so, so appreciated and especially if you leave me a review. Honestly, I am so thankful because every time a review goes up into Apple, it actually bumps me into the what's hot list or it brings me up in new algorithms. I'm more easily found on the charts and it's just, uh, I, if, if for nothing else, like these episodes that I produce and create for you, they take hours and hours to put together. And whenever I see a review come through, it just validates the message that I have out there so much, and then it reaches more people. So in all truth and honesty, I just wanted to say, I'm grateful. Have an awesome day. Let me know what you do with your journaling prompts below. I'm giving you a bit more consciousness around what you do in your day to day, what you're manifesting, what you're calling in. And hopefully I will see you in more of my upcoming retreats. I will keep you updated on the retreat home. And in the meantime, remember that you can absolutely earn your hustle. Bye guys.
