Hi, my loves. My name is Ruby Lee on Japan, a digital nomad. Chris saw obsessed free spirit and founder of the own Your hustle movement. And this is the own your hustle podcast. Here 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 only hustle way of life full of freedom. A dose of Wu and plenty of random tangent laughs along the way. You know, I started my company working 9 to 52 is a recruiter. I was working for adventures based business in the urban cool city of Melbourne, Australia. And today I'm travelling the world young family in tow, working with the most amazing humans ready to build a career on life by design Strap in, my love, you are about to binge on all of the most incredible guess that I bring onto this podcast and guess what? There started their businesses through purpose and calling mostly while still working a day job. Let me also share this. I called my company owned your Hustle as a reminder for us daily that we get Tau love our sole lead Hustle are 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 coloured energy. So if you're ready, I'm ready. Let's get started. Thiss is the at home quarantine edition of the podcast, where you may hear the kids in the background screaming, but we will pursue it anyway. So as I'm saying this, my three year old has just walked through the door and give me one second, please. Okay, I am back. Oh, my gosh, Shadow toe. All of you parents out there who feel in this, you're feeling it. There is just a lot more intensity. And even though we've had Teddy full time through building the business whilst he was like in his prime toddler age, we definitely had a lot more outdoor time, A lot more activities and things that we could do like swimming or going to the park or just playing with friends. And obviously, given the current circumstances, it's not something that is in the picture whatsoever. We also have Henry at the moment, and he's homeschooling, So his school's got him doing some virtual classes and whatnot. So it's bean madness. Madness in the house, I say. But we're actually going to move Teo bigger home. Right now. We're in a teeny tiny Tony apartment here in the middle of the city in Melbourne, as most apartments are centrally in the city are quite small. We didn't expect this, though, because Airbnb has a wonderful way of showing certain photos. Let's just call it real estate in general, it can look really, really massive in the photos, and then when you arrive, it's like, Oh, as you walk through the door, you're tripping over the couch. It's one of those situations, but we're making do we're having fun. We are grateful that we have each other during this time. And yes, I hope everyone is doing well and that you're keeping safe. Most of us listening into this live maybe one week, two weeks, three weeks into quarantine at the moment. And, you know, we kind of have gone through. I believe, as a society, that initial shock period, that really sense of like, Oh my God, what are we going to do? The whole world is going to change. So much is going to be different in our life. And I'm definitely not discounting the fact that there are a lot of people out there who are in a very, very difficult and tough situation. And however we can all help and assist, like whether it's through your business or giving back or donating or sharing some posts and things like this to really help get the word out there, whatever it is that you're being called to do, Let's do that as a society. I found out just this week that my parents house got robbed. I mean, how much does that suck like? Two days ago, someone had come into the house whilst my mum was actually sleeping and my dad was out doing some grocery shopping and they had come in and robbed the house, and it just made me feel so sick, like just awful for obviously my parents. But how in this time, you know, in society at this very moment could even just fathom that that's just something that can be done. And I know that a lot of people who the thieves and whatnot, maybe they've just come from a different background and they have different motivations behind this. But during this time of all the times, it is so awful seeing the Shia ugliness in humanity. But you know what? The world keeps turning and my folks have had an incredible and amazing ability to get their game face on and get what necessary things have to be done. They are definitely shaken but not stirred. And this got me thinking, Despite what we're facing as a society, I'm seeing how different entrepreneurs are choosing to adapt and pivot and get on with their heart led businesses in however form or which ever form it takes right. Like right now, all of us have been sort of put into a level of shock and uncertainty, and it really does come down to such a decision around. How do we move forward from here? What is the right thing to do? How is it that you're supposed to adjust when so much has changed in the external world. And with this change, there's definitely a game face kind of energy that comes with this, you know? So, going back to my parents in their shock period, they went and sprung straight into action. You know, they were looking at what had gone missing. Dad was calling Thie insurance Company and the bank and the police, of course. And Mum was just checking in on okay, like, what about the locks? And they were calling, You know, the locksmith. They took the car keys so they had to, like, reprogrammed the car. And, of course, being in quarantine locked down. There's not a lot of service providers that were readily available, right, like they may be classified as a non essential service. And so, ah, lot of this had sort of come up and a day and into the second day it was just spent on. What do we need to do? Game face, game face, game face? And it's the detail. It's assessing the risk. It is also taking the damn action and deciding that things will get itself sorted through time. So let's say you're ordering new bank cards or new. In my parent's case, like new age care cards and things like that, it will come in time and there's always an interim solution, and it also comes with movement. They could have sat there panicking and worrying and not really sure what to do and stricken with doubt and what would have happened, right? The person that came and robbed the house, they took the car keys and the house keys. And if nothing had been done that day, how scary would that have been knowing that someone actually has the keys to your home and they could come back like later on at night? No. So this is where they took control, and they decided that it had to be done through movement. So this is where I get to ask you, What will you be doing today to bring some of that flow and energy back into your business? What is that you need to do to move out of that state of shock or that sense of helplessness and actually help yourself? Because ain't nobody is going to come to your rescue even if you have the most bad ass business coach me, you know, like honestly, like even with my mastermind clients, I'm there From an energy point of view, we're speaking in Boxer every single day. On the other day, I woke up to 53 separate boxes. If you don't know what that is, it's my voice messaging app. And there definitely has been such a boom in the business. In my business, there's bean so much activity. I'm loving that my clients are not necessarily messaging me with, like, doom and gloom and oh my God, what do we do instead? My clients are messaging me with, like Great. Okay, I know I'm in a really privileged position and I can get stuff done. I can work from home now, and there's not too much over workload for me right now. I have some clients that are teachers, and they've been given time off school. I have other clients in different industries who have contracts ended and they've been made redundant and they're not panicking about it. I mean, obviously, there, maybe, like an initial period of like Oh my God. But also at the same time, a lot of them may have sense that it was coming Ah, lot of them sort of knew that it was something they were calling in any way so that they could start their businesses. And if you fall into that bracket, what will you be doing today to bring some of that flow and energy back into your dreams? It's very easy right now in this state of where we are as as a world to lose sight of your big ticket dreams. I actually caught myself the other day where this is something I do. I have this, like manifestation process that I do in the shower. I don't know if some of you thought I was going to say toilet, but in the shower, and I was talking to my master mind about this. How I do so much manifestation in the shower because it's where I condone dream really big. And it's just me time the shower like screens that esteems are because I love myself a hot, hot, hot, hot, hot shower. I'm like editor Dinari, star Gary, and I am like I saw her coming out of that like boiling hot bathtub, you know, in like season one, and I'm like, Oh, that's may but on the shower screen. I would write things like my 1st 10 K month and I would write things like, You know, in 2020 I will make a $1,000,000 I had all of these like big manifestations that came to pass and came true from my shower manifestations. And we were joking about how there's like a quick pads that you can get like waterproof pen, a waterproof pen and, like a waterproof pad that sticks in your shower screen on DH. Yeah, we were all joking like we definitely need one of those. But in saying all of this, I realised the other day when I was taking my hot, hot, hot shower that I haven't dreamt big for at least like a fortnight. Like and Oh, my gosh, shouted to my client, Alise, who is from the US? And she said, Ruby, what does fortnight mean? I didn't realise it was such a nostril ian thing, and I think also English, maybe Canadian. But if you don't know, it's every two weeks, right, so maybe every couple of weeks. But it's been like a couple of weeks since I let myself dream big and go big, and it's actually one of the things that I talk about inside Hustle Slingshot, which I opened the doors to just this week. If you haven't seen it, it's my 10 day boot camp where I will be live with you building your business over the next, like 10 days. We start next week, but I'm so excited to bring a boot camp energy back into the business where we have time. We have time. So if you want to spend time with me in building your business, understanding your niche, learning how to create profitable content, getting your social media strategy ready and doing all of this cool stuff that's going tohave that forward momentum, please do cheque out the link below. In the description, it's $97 to join for 10 days. How amazing is that? So definitely get in on that action, and I can't wait to meet you. Meet your businesses and if you're a longtime podcast listener, I would love, love, love to have you in there. But it is something that we talk about. We talk about your big ticket dream and linking to that always whatever you do, whether it's a finicky thing like setting up your squarespace site. Hashtag not sponsored or it's looking at connecting your payment systems together, riding your first instagram post, going live on Facebook for the first time. And we're all like feeling nervous and scared anything that we do for the first time. It's like, Oh, how is this going to go? You know what? How I crushed through that It's linking to the big, big, big dream. When was the last time you let yourself dream big? And this is a very recent thing that I realised I was like, Geez, I've been working towards my 1st 100 K month and I just have not had that top of mind. It just hasn't been top of mind. Money has not been top of mind for me and, you know, certainly in many ways both earning money and not looking at my investment portfolio and not looking at my shares and not looking at the things that I know you would naturally kind of make me feel anxious, and I don't want to be ignorant about it, either. But that's just my way of protecting my energy right now, you know, like I will cheque it in a week or so, but I generally know which direction it's going in, right? But from a money point of you, also like a business building income generating point of view. There's so much doom and gloom out there with how many people have lost their jobs. Thie economy, tanking talks of an upcoming recession and all these sorts of things that I started tow actually look at what and which companies and industries are doing well. So this is again, like switching your frame and looking at You know, it's one thing to be fed certain news that gets you really down in the dumps and thinking, Oh, my God, whoa! To me and then other times where you're able to actually take the reins and take the control of what is it that you're feeding your subconscious with? This is what I am really passionate about, where it's not just about what you're reading, and then you think, Oh, yeah, I'm releasing that energy and it's gone and we know some of it's fake news, and we know some of it is really and blah, blah, blah. It's what isthe sinking into that subconscious part of your mind, and it's ultimately driving our every action. It's driving how we're seeing things, including how we're pricing and whether you feel right to sell and whether you feel OK to show up on a live stream and talking about how you're actually going at the moment when it's not so positive. But, you know, I was looking at things like Amazon has hired 100,000 new staff in the last, or they're trying to hire 100,000 new staff in the last week. I've also seen that they raised their wages right for current staff to help them with their current situation. I've seen online learning platforms obviously go Bert Nanna's B A N A. N s right, because people are moving to an online learning platforms. So companies like Teacher Bullen they're like, Holy shit, we're in overload right now. Zoom, we all love Zoom Webinar jam, like all of these big online platforms are recognising and realising that there needs to be more support. More assistance will help the other areas that I'm really seeing thriving right now, companies like health goods, you know, that's a big thing. Looking at industries that on the supply chain and helping get these goods to us and on the shelves. So thinking about all of this, there will be many of you right now that really, really, really needed to hear this. And it's got you sitting up that little bit straighter. It's got you going? Yes, Like I know I have not shown up the way that I wanted to show up. There is also a level of it's okay, you know, like we get to be human and we get to pause and go. Holy FARC like this is crazy. No one has lived through this before. A global pandemic off this level, where all of us are navigating through this for the first time. No one knows what is actually going to happen. But we're able to rely now on, you know, like certain parts of the world that are seeing a trend, a positive trend upwards in terms of health and really seeing, you know, their society, like, sort of waking up and coming back to it and all of this. So I just want to let you guys know that there is a lot of momentum and game face energy that has to be had right now. You know it has to be had because your message and your mission is waiting. Your purpose is not sitting back just because there's a pandemic happening. There is something that you can do. So write that down, make a commitment, say it out loud. This's what I could do to help my tribe and my community. It's time to get that game face on. So game face to me represented actually pulling my private clients together, my master, my clients and my retreat clients of 2021 together. And we did such an awesome gathering. I actually called it the Great Gathering where all of us got to just come together, get real with the situation. I had clients from all over the world, which is so awesome to see the representation of you know, what's been going on in the world through my clients like Switzerland, Canada, the US, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Europe, like it was actually so uplifting to see everybody actually go. You know what? It's awesome that we're here is a community, and it's time time to get so rial with sharing our voice. Come out of the cave, right? Come out of the cave. You are being called to share your voice and speaking up. And maybe it's through riding, you know? So when I say voice, it's not just like needing Teo necessarily, like have a podcast, for example. Maybe it's singing. Maybe it's some other form of creative expression. I've been loving the work from Home Dance Challenge, one of my clients event mayor, had tagged me in it, and I just had so much fun. Of course I had to do it to Liz. Oh, because she is my go to, like, get up and dance type of music at the moment. Also, I'm loving dodo Cat. But either way, I would just jam to one of the two and go crazy, and it gets my energy and my vibration back up, just like if you were to get your game face on. And it's like, you know, you're about to do like a big Jim routine or something. Do what is going to get You're your heart rate up. Give a big smile. Put a big smile on your face like I will grab Teddy and Henry and Mike and we'll just be dancing around like crazy people in the lounge room. It's funny, actually, because we live like in this high rise at the moment and I can see every single apartment. I think I can see about 100 apartments. I'm not even kidding and like I'm looking at the window right now. They're probably looking at me and I'm looking at them, but I have seen so many interesting things. I'm not trying to be a complete weirdo in a perv it, But I've seen like, you know, people come out of the shower in their towels, but like their windows like wide open. So it's like if you want privacy, please, just like drawer your blinds down. But clearly they don't care. I've been seeing kids run around like crazy, and parents just literally like it looks like they're pulling out their hair like telling them off. I've been seeing grandmothers like just sweeping their balcony. That's a very grandma thing to do, isn't it? People doing their washing? I'm seeing a lot of TVs on just TVs everywhere. Game gamers, A lot of gamers as well. Oh my God, this is so creepy. I'm just showing you like what my neighbours are doing, just like explaining what my neighbours are doing. Anyway, it got me thinking damn like we will not have another time like this, possibly in our near future or future future where we're all in complete lock down like thiss for however long. Two months, three months, six months. Who fucking knows? And are we really just going to be sitting there sweeping our balconies and watching TV and gaming all day long? I mean, don't get me wrong. I went through like the entire season of love is blind in less than three days. Okay, this was how I dealt with it. But ever since then, I have not turned on Netflix. It's not been something that I've been doing. What I have been doing is showing up live daily on Instagram. What I have been doing is showing up to my box is what I have been doing is gathering my client's together on zoom calls, and I had a membership Q and A. This morning. Great to see the only hostile members as well. Staying so positive and so upbeat. I was hearing from one of my members, Jenny who owns a gym, actually, in just outside Philadelphia. I believe, and she was saying how her gym is really there to help people who suffer from, like, M s or who have like a disability. And her Jim had to close last week and instead they've gone and they've taken their fitness programmes online. And she just said, It's so much fun Everyone there, you know, they just clown around and it's just high vibrational stuff, right? This is what you conduce to give back and serve the world. Right now, there are so many ways that we can actually tap into expressing our unique voice, not only to heal ourselves and move ourselves forward and to draw in that energy, but also heal the planet at large riot. So this is my little like game face episode. Think about ways that you can start to actually create that Momenta Mlle you know, and I posted on Instagram earlier today about my parentshouse getting robbed. Like I said, they are safe there. Fine. I'm getting so many messages saying I hope your folks are okay. It is like Nastya shit that this had to happen. But it's also inspired this episode. So you know, at the same time look after each other, be kind to one another. I know only good things will come from moving and creating and sharing your message with the world. Don't forget to cheque out side hustle slingshots. So we start next week. It's my 10 day boot camp to really help with that mo mentum.

Maybe they're housemates. Maybe it's even your partner. I know a lot of partners actually usually travel for work. So now you've got a lot of time together and you're trying to work out. What are the new habits? What are the new like ways in which that you can create a fun and exciting place to draw from and also create your business will be talking about mindset for abundance. You know, like talking about my shower manifestations, how to unleash the value of your social media right now and how to give back to the planet at large.
