Introduction of Yakov Smart

And here he is the one the only Yakov smart Mr. Smart. Thank you for joining us today. How are you?

I’m well Derek. Thank you for having me well You and I were chatting a little bit before we started recording We’ve been trying to get together for a little while now and our schedules have conflicted and we’ve had to reschedule a few times So I’m just excited that we finally get to have this conversation Before we do why don’t you tell everybody a little bit about yourself your background where you come from and and Help us get to know you Yeah, it sounds good. So I’ll give everyone the cliff notes version I’m some people listening might know me from the world of capital raising That’s where a lot of people probably know my stuff. But today we’re going to go in a little bit of a different direction We’re gonna talk more about the mindset energy stuff That’s talked about a lot less but I would say is the most important thing so I started my journey into personal growth and personal development in my late teens and a Big part for me was being able to learn how to socialize and connect with people I grew up extremely shy grew up in an immigrant family and I just I felt like I was missing something socially I felt like I didn’t quite like understand people and you know growing up.

I think through the school system. I think through main indoctrination Sometimes we develop an external locus of control and what I mean by that is we don’t think that we have Control over reality. We don’t think we have a say because either parents outside authorities tell us what to do And so I experienced a lot of that and then I hit a turning point when I was in my late teens and I found This personal development thing. I started reading books in psychology mindset personal development Socializing and really really went down the rabbit hole and to make a long story short started my first online business in my early 20s Developed some initial success, you know offering different things got to do some speaking across the country working with entrepreneurs I’m teaching at the time a lot like marketing stuff, you know being able to build relationships online and at about the age of 25 I was so down the personal development rabbit hole.

I’d invested tens of thousands of dollars into masterminds coaches Books, you name it anything from the tried-and-true to more of the weird stuff and I woke up one day and I realized I didn’t love myself and Despite all that investing despite all those books something was still off my mindset was still off and I felt like I was stuck in my personal life, but like I’m stuck in my business and Through a different type of journey and also through experiencing a pretty nasty breakup I found this next layer and that next layer is understanding what I call spirituality, right? and to me spirituality comes down to three things right comes down to connection to source connection to self and connection to what I call spiritual code and through Developing a better relationship myself and discovering some of these principles that we’re going to talk about Not only was able to exponentially grow my results in business But I learned how to really trust myself honor myself and live just a more enjoyable more fulfilling life Which I think everyone listening ultimately that’s what we’re after 

Aligning Wealth and Energy: The Power of Mindset in Capital Raising and Success

Yeah for sure. I mean that’s what the generations of wealth is all about it. It’s it’s not just financial wealth. It’s all aspects spiritual you know physical wealth you name a generational wealth is It’s a lifestyle and it’s a choice we can all make that choice if we put it in our vision so well, I do want to touch on the capital raising a little bit because That’s where I know you from we connected probably two three years ago on LinkedIn. I don’t remember exactly I’m sure you wouldn’t either but it was about capital raising Your initial business that you said you started in your 20s. Was that the capital raising business or was that different?

So what evolved it was initially LinkedIn consulting authored a book called disrupting LinkedIn back in 2017 And then 2020 came around I was doing a lot of in-person Events and all of a sudden in-person events magically went away for whatever reason right, Weird. Yeah, yeah, it’s just like and so overnight my main revenue stream was was gone Vanished and so coincidentally and if you don’t believe in coincidences, maybe not so coincidentally People from the real estate investing multifamily space started reaching out They wanted to learn how to use LinkedIn to use social media to find investors And so I developed my first program around that in 2020 and ever since that’s been the main focus to what’s present in the present Day is called capital on command 

Okay. Okay, that makes more sense because I knew that our paths had crossed before we we had a We had conversations back then because I was in a hard money lending business with business partner About a year ago. And so we’ve raised you know many many many millions of dollars over the years – and that’s where somehow that’s how we got connected and Here we are now, but we are alright so Getting back to the the spiritual path, right? If you have your your right spiritual path, right? It can turbocharge your your your revenue and free up your time This is what you’ve you’ve kind of leaned towards what explain that further Yeah, so let’s start with understanding a really basic principle, right? So a lot of people talk about goal setting set goals income goals fitness goals relationship goals, right?

The problem with goal setting is it negates this deeper layer, right and I call it energetic match So if you think about it as a formula you have your desired result on the one side So DR equals EM and so to create anything to bring anything that we want into fruition We have to be an energetic match to right and I always tell people Manifestation that word is talked about a lot We’ll redefine in a second because a lot of it is just bogus what people say, but manifestation is not a choice We are constantly manifesting something whether we want to or not all manifestation means is bringing something into 3d So therefore living your life is a manifestation, right? And so for us to experience something in life, whether it’s more money that relationship we want better health We have to become the person who experiences that and that starts with becoming an energetic match And so that’s the whole foundation here 

Breaking Free from the Matrix: How Mindset, Energy, and Spiritual Awakening Shape Success

Well, that makes complete sense and I agree a hundred percent and and the simpler version of that is What you believe you’re right if you believe you’re gonna be successful and you have that energy You’ll be successful or if you believe the world’s against you magically the world becomes against you At least that’s my simplistic way of looking at the spiritual path What do you what do you say to somebody that’s a Non-believer in The spiritual path and what you just described Like, how do you how do you how do you convince?

Because we all know that 98% of the world is Living as zombies right they go to their jobs if they have jobs and You know, they’re just they’re waiting to die Right, not physically, but they’re they’re not living the life How do you how do you really get somebody fired up about what you’re talking about here? Well that reminds me of a quote by Ben Franklin. I think the quote goes something like this, you know Most men die at 25 and are buried at 60 and so he’s saying the exact same thing You’re saying like most people stop dreaming. They stop, you know being conscious They go through the motions and typically what happens is someone has a spiritual awakening where through either traumatic Event or something ends up happening or like, you know, some somehow they find a spirituality They find either their connection with you know, higher power connection with themselves that usually just doesn’t happen through You know, it just happened randomly when they usually unfortunately or fortunately usually had takes trauma that usually takes, you know A certain experience but because these peak emotional experiences are what create real change and transformation, right?

That’s what creates these realizations. So in terms of someone being a believer or a non-believer. I don’t really think it matters, right? I don’t think you know in terms of when we talk about manifestation we talk about creating our realities, you know Intentions goals you don’t have to believe in things for them to work You don’t have to believe in the law of gravity But if you try to go and jump off a building whether you can you can have you can write out all the reasons why gravity Doesn’t work, but you jump off that building here on planet Earth. You’re falling right? So it’s not about believing it’s about Testing things out just like in marketing and capital raising, right? It’s being able to test out frameworks and see for yourself, right? And I think you know even in physics they’ve proven that everything comes down to atoms that we all vibrate right?

The Science of Spiritual Success: Understanding the 5D, 4D, and 3D Realities to Align with Wealth and Fulfillment

Everything’s coming down to these particles, right? So with that belief That’s where everything else comes from, you know, it’s understanding the quantum. So when we talk about becoming an energetic match Yes, that’s what you believe It’s what you think but it’s about so much more than that because there to me there is three layers of reality, right? So there’s the 5d the 4d and the 3d. Okay, the 5d is the realm of the soul. That’s the realm of our energetic field Okay, the 4d is the mind Okay, and the 3d is what we can touch feel taste. It’s the five senses, right? So thinking a thought carries a lot less density than taking an action for example, right? And so sometimes for things you can become an energetic match something in the 5d where you are the person who experiences that result But it takes a little while to come into the manifest. I’ll use that word in the 3d, right? So in terms of understanding it logically, here’s the way that I look at it, right?

So there’s a source so you can call that God higher power the universe, you know People have different names for it and you can by the way be an atheist and still use this stuff This stuff can still resonate because there’s tools in the tool belt, right? But typically it’s so much easier It’s so much smoother when there’s some belief in a higher power, right? Then we talk about connection to self That’s knowing yourself at a deeper level, right? We need to talk a lot about personality tests personality profiling for hiring for marketing You know avatars all that type of stuff There’s assessments out there that go a little bit deeper, right? Or it’s just based on you know, certain things certain attributes, right and sometimes, you know psychoanalyzing those personality tests Are enough for some people there’s things like human design to go a little bit deeper, right?

And this third element spiritual code the way to look at it. It’s just like Ray Dalio He wrote the book a lot of investors will be familiar with principles, right? And there’s principles to everything you have people like Elon Musk saying how do you know so many things? How do you have all these businesses? He’s like, well, I just understand the principles initially, right? And so when it comes to spiritual code, this is the fascinating thing There are universal laws that are gonna be true 100% of the time just like the laws of physics just like the law of gravity can believe them you can fight them But they’re gonna be true. So you might as well go with them. It makes your life easier, right? And there’s also energetic principles So when it comes to measuring energy and this is something we can segway into here. There is a map It’s called the map of consciousness. Okay, it’s been around for thousands of years across different religions spiritual traditions Philosophies and this map of consciousness is the ultimate I use the word hack to understanding energy, right?

Energetic Alignment in Business: How the Map of Consciousness Shapes Success and Influence

You don’t have to be intuitive You don’t have to you know, go down the spiritual rabbit hole But according this map of consciousness all energy calibrates at a certain number So for everyone listening who’s a lot logical thinker we can take for example, the emotion of anger Calibrates at 160 right and according to the scale anything below 200 is quote-unquote low energy 200 to about 400 450 is mid energy and then 450 on words can be higher energy and then you know For example Christ consciousness like perfect divinity is a thousand on the scale. Okay So when I look at business and this is where it really starts to tie in or investing or making any decision I look at okay.

Where is that person on the energetic scale? Okay, and is it a match for what we want to create so I can give you an example easy example Let’s say investor relations. Let’s say someone was hiring someone for sales or investor relations and based on This individual’s personality based on the way they carry themselves based on their track record and also based on intuition If you really understand the scale we can say, okay that person at a baseline is a certain energy level So let’s say that person let’s let’s say that person is that Let’s say they’re at 190 which is the energy of pride actually, right?

And so let’s say our ideal customer ideal investor is someone who is a little more established more intellectual Let’s say they’re at 400, right? So if you take someone who’s a 190 and by the way when it comes to the scale We all have different pockets of energy, right? You know just because someone’s at one that doesn’t mean they can’t go lower or higher, right? We all can but let’s say that’s their baseline state on the scale, right? so if they’re at 190 the way that they’re gonna try to sell the way that they’re gonna try to communicate and Convince people to invest is gonna be in a forceful type of way, right? That’s where the tricks the gimmicks come in the takeaways They’re making people feel like they’re not good enough all these different things, right?

And if they’re talking to a prospective investor who’s at 400 who’s in a very intellectual Neutral type of consciousness that person is going to be turned off and want to run the other way, right? And so we have to understand in every role that we fill we want people who are at a certain energy level That’s calibrated that role and we look at different parts of a business. We also can measure their energy, right? So let’s say you’re showing up in apathy around your finances, right? So you’re not looking at your money You’re not looking at your numbers. You’re stalling out on paying bills.

Understanding Energy and Consciousness in Business and Life: How to Meet People Where They’re At for Better Results

You know, you’re just ignoring it. That doesn’t be get abundance, right? So those are a few examples and we could talk more about the scale But everything that I look at in my life in my business, I look through that lens Okay, what’s the energy of that and if I want to experience more of or less of something? It’s about either raising or lowering the energy. That’s that’s interesting. I mean, I’ve never heard it described in that way and and The way I’m hearing you and correct me if I’m wrong How we interact with people based off of their number on that scale differs, is that right? Well people embody a different essence based on that number.

So Correct. So if you know that someone’s at 400 their intellectual consciousness for someone to make a decision They’re gonna need to see some data some charts, you know You probably can’t like push them and say by now right the gimmicks will turn that person off If you have someone who’s in fear, for example, right and it’s probably a different offer different product Well, let’s say they’re at fears that 100 on the scale the next place you want to get them pissed off If you want to instigate some action, you want to get them pissed off or really desiring something, right?

So desperate then pissed off because it goes it goes higher up, right? So that’s the thing we have to meet people where they’re at And if you’re going if you’re talking about marketing one to many right then it’s understanding Okay, who’s the core avatar and where does my what’s my messaging? Where is it meeting them? So, where did you discover this This scale is this been something that you’ve been Put piecing together over years or is it was there a source that you came up? Yeah So the scale is not something that I invented. I just want to be clear. So I first discovered it. Dr. David Hawkins He wrote a book power versus force a pretty popular book. I also got a popular book on letting go And his concept in the book to simplify the scale.

He says, okay force is a lower energy So if you try to force someone to do something, there’s a resistance a lower energy power is like the ocean It’s got a power doesn’t need to try it just is right? There’s a beingness so that level of power on the scale calibrates at 510 say right and my most recent Discovery that really put things together a great book by Frederick Dodson called levels of energy It’s about 600 pages and it talks about the scale not from a business standpoint But from like a life standpoint and like it’s really taking if you understand archetypes If you understand the scale and you start to look at things through this lens Everything in your life. It’s almost like a roadmap to creating whatever reality you want to create or Manifesting we use that word again bring something in a 3d making a goal of reality and it starts with that scale 

The Power of Energy, Identity, and Strategy in Reinventing Your Business and Negotiation Approach.

I’m very intrigued by that because I I teach a Negotiations Academy, it’s called the elite negotiations Academy and I Describe it in a different way. I’m not using a numbered scale, but very much you have to speak in a way that people can not just hear you but listen to you and And take it in right like I’ll use the example if somebody’s analytical and I’m talking to them as if they’re a driver like me They’re not gonna move forward with you know with what we’re trying to convince them to do very Same thing that you’re saying mine’s a more simplistic version I guess but Yeah, I definitely want to study that that that is for my type of What hot buttons that that gets me kind of jacked up. So All right, so you’ve got an entrepreneur that maybe they’re at a point where they’re pivoting or they’re reinventing themselves They don’t know anything about anything that you’re talking about, you know, what do you say to this entrepreneur? So it starts with awareness right it starts with Understanding.

Okay, you can take the willful approach where you just take massive action. Just throw a bunch of stuff at the ball, right? That’s one way to do it or understanding the energy of what you’d like to experience And how do you become an energetic match to it? Right and that typically involves thoughts words and actions So all those are really big things so this first starting point I was saying that I like to you know Share with people it’s called release to receive right? So if someone is a transitioning there’s probably old thought patterns There’s probably old baggage maybe old resentments and I think for a lot of people just having a simple practice of being able to let some of that stuff go right and Sometimes people go to extremes That’s where you hear people doing things like plant medicine and I think there’s a time and a place for it And it’s something to explore for some people but even like being in your living room listening to this right listening to a guided meditation If you have a technique the simplest way to release energy is to laugh or to cry, right?

It’s if you have something that makes you belly laugh There’s a releasing that happens if you have something that’s making you cry and be emotional Energy is being released and you’ve probably noticed yourself feeling lighter after right? So the very first thing that we have to determine is what do we need to let go of? Okay on a more granular level it could be things from the current business It could be things weighing them down old relationships old patterns. Sometimes it’s throwing away clothing going to different locations, right? You know, we want to switch the energy field Okay The second thing is getting clear and I most people would say get clear on the vision first then start letting go I’ll say the opposite because When you shift your energy the vision is going to be more aligned to what you want to create If you’re trying to create a vision from an old energy or old identity It’s not really gonna be the most aligned vision because you don’t you don’t see what you can see when you let go, right? So we want to lighten up Then we want to be able to create that vision and it comes down to three things where it comes down to energy Identity and strategy.

Okay, most people they just focus on strategy and then they go tactics mechanics You know the how-to is the rabbit holes a shiny object, right? But if we focus on energy identity and strategy What’s the identity that we need to embody? How do we step into congruence with that identity and on the energetic level? Where does that energy where do those actions calibrate on the scale? Okay, and also things that drag down our energy How do we nip those in the bud? Right so in business, that’s what it comes down to energy identity and strategy So for someone who feels like they’re reinventing themselves first thing releasing some stuff, right again It doesn’t have to be anything extreme like doing a retreat or anything like that. Someone’s inspired to do that. Great I think working with a practitioner I think working with a mentor on that is a way to accelerate that especially if someone doesn’t have experience in that type of work The next thing is creating a vision but doing it from the lens of energy identity and strategy Okay, not just focusing on the strategy and also getting clear on the emotion behind the vision, right?

The Golden Bridge: Aligning Your Energy, Identity, and Strategy to Achieve Your Business Goals.

You know, what’s what’s the real reason behind it? Not this BS Oh, yeah, I just want to make money because I want to feel good and like, you know, tell the boys like like that’s cool Great. That could be one of the reasons like what’s the deeper reason right? So having that self-awareness and then I think of it as a Golden bridge, right? So imagine someone’s on one side of the bridge what they want Their next goal is on the other side of that bridge. Okay, and so the next thing that we have to do is okay We’ve cleared some stuff. We see the destination if you will right where that next step that next milestone depending on what it is Great.

Now, let’s look at ourselves. Let’s look at it through the lens of who we are, right? That’s where the personality assessments come in. That’s where things like human design can come into play It’s like understand. Okay, because there’s a myth in the self-help world. Hey if it worked for someone else It’s gonna work for you complete bullshit. Yeah, people are different. We all have different strengths gifts essences So a lot of people will try to copy and it’ll get like moderate results and I used to do this all the time Like why is it not working exceptionally? Well, because I’m not putting it. I’m not playing to my strengths, right? So you want to rig the game in your favor? That’s we’re looking at it from the lens of who you are really comes into play Okay, so now we start walking this golden bridge and we’re on this golden bridge and we’re walking it we’re looking at okay What’s the next thing?

What’s the energy of it? How do I move energetically to becoming that person and bonding that identity and then that’s thoughts words and actions Okay, and typically typically what happens is by the time someone gets that other reality They’re an energy. They will they have to be an energetic match the desired result. That’s just the way the universe works, right? So it’s looking at things from that standpoint and also Not rushing that first part right because someone might say okay. I let go of some stuff cool. I meditated for 10 minutes I’m ready Let’s craft a big compelling vision because then it’s like you’re walking across the bridge But you’re carrying this like two ton weight on your back and it’s just like weighing you down You’re barely crawling when you could just like walk across it smoothly. That’s where the releasing to receive is such a big thing 

Yeah, and what every time that we work with somebody on you know, figuring out their vision trying to not engineer how things are gonna happen or Engineer that things couldn’t happen because of time or money or whatever that that’s the same as not releasing their shit So they’re not really figuring out their vision there as you said, they’re they’re they’re gonna figure out a vision But it’s dragging all this extra weight with them and it’s not really gonna be what they what they ultimately want Yeah, it just makes things that makes things that much harder and also, you know, it’s not about It takes action, of course, right? I think a lot of manifestation stuff it’s a really bad rap because people like just sit under a tree feel good and stuff comes in and like It’s not just about feeling it’s about becoming an energetic match and you’re gonna want to use thought words in action Because those are the tools in the tool belt, right?

So one of the things is but it’s also not just about hard work and just like, you know Just working at it, right? There’s a time and a place for that But the most the most focus the highest leverage when it comes to let’s say accomplishing a goal or making an intention to reality It’s gonna be through Becoming an energetic match to it and be becoming that identity that’s gonna be the highest leverage and that’s where things start to fall into place That’s where the strategy starts to come in because if you look at strategy through the lens of who you need to become It’s easier to make those decisions.

So, how do you use like the I’ll just call it the EIS energy strategy identity when it comes to hiring, you know, if you’re hiring talent or you’re looking at business partners or or training somebody So, which one do you want to go with we can know we can pick pick a specific one Well, you you’re the guest you took you pick if you can give me a if you can give me a real-life example Maybe I’ll say business partner and I say business partner because you know I exited a 10-year partnership a year ago and and it was a great partnership but ultimately Partnerships are just like marriages. They they shouldn’t be jumped in too lightly And I think side note I think way too many people dive into partnerships and JV’s without even giving it a second thought but But you know, I will say that myself and that guy, you know, we we did the personality tests We did we did a lot of pre-work before we agreed to be business partners So pick this apart as if you’re you’re gonna go into business with somebody Mm-hmm.

Building Strong Business Partnerships: Aligning Energy, Vision, and Strategy for Success.

So the very first thing that we looked at is where is that person on the energetic scale? Where are you on the energetic scale? Right and that just takes awareness of the scale. It’s kind of hard to teach that well, let’s say Let’s say you’re at 350 as your baseline and that person’s at 190. That’s a problem That’s not gonna be a long-term partnership unless they drastically change overnight. Not very likely, right? There’s gonna be Conflict and there’s gonna be different ways of doing business. There’s gonna be resentment. So like that’s an immediate deal-breaker Okay. Now it could be for like a short-term JV like a 90-day thing Maybe you do like a list swap you you create some revenue that could that could work right? But even then It’s it’s meant to be a little more problematic, right? So we want to look at two people or three people however many in the partnership who are at similar baseline energy levels Right. So within it doesn’t have to be the exact same number, right? But it’s think of it more like ranges if anyone’s ever played poker We look like ranges of things right? So want to be in a similar range.

That’s number one second thing is other than the personality test right, you know looking at things and Astrology is something that some people might roll their eyes and rightfully so right? There’s there’s a lot of like BS like the daily horoscopes of not what I’m talking about But if you can understand someone’s chart at a deeper level So things like their Venus sign their moon sign it tells us about someone’s emotional self, right? And this is stuff that isn’t gonna change. So for example, let’s say Let’s say you knew their chart and let’s say your Venus was in Capricorn Let’s just say and their Venus let’s say was in Gemini be a bit of a problem, right? So they’re gonna be more airy-fairy You’re gonna need a lot more structure and it’s just again a different way of showing up in the world So it doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily gonna be a bad partnership But there’s gonna be a lot of that initial friction right and then understanding someone’s outlook on the world So that’s the energy piece. Okay, then it’s shared vision. Okay. What do you want to create? And what’s their reason for wanting to create it, right?

That’s the other big thing as well. And then the strategy piece as well It’s like understanding. Okay, what are they bringing to the table? I think sometimes people partner up with people who are too similar to them I end up doing the same thing and getting frustrated with each other because I could just be doing this myself, right? And then the other thing and I’ve learned this one the hard way is how do we test small, right? How do we test small within a 30 60 90 day window? And then if things are going well re up right because there’s also the likelihood that things are gonna happen Both people are gonna change and that’s okay where it might be a great fit You guys might be on the same energetic same bandwidth right now It might be different in 90 days and that’s okay. So have ways around it, right? I also think there’s certain people depending on just you know These these different types of matches who are meant to make a lot of money together Where it just like it flows really smoothly, right? And so noticing that’s why I like that initial data because I look at everything in business and in life as energetic data Okay, what’s what’s happening when we started this partnership? What are the initial results, right? There’s a saying it’s a biblical saying should know them by their fruits, right?

So it’s like, you know by the results and so those are the those are the typical things, but I agree I don’t think partnerships necessarily are meant to last forever. I think that’s okay That’s why it’s important to have you know, what happens if those scenarios right to have those conversations up front? And I mean, it’s it’s weirdly similar to dating, right? you know, it’s not having like these big expectations, but communicating being willing to over communicate and Being willing to you know, if it’s not a fit at some point to move on like that’s just that’s part of not having an Attachment to it. I think one of my biggest mistakes has been staying in things for too long, right? I think there’s a it’s a very strong characteristic a very important skill So to be able to end things and close those loops, right? because if you have that open loop and that you know the relationship or a business partnership where both people are unhappy and it just Like goes on and on it drains energy and the business can’t really flourish in the way that it could 

Yeah, the the resentment can just put the brakes on Everything and and just built for sure for you Well, all right. What is and I asked this of almost everybody on my show What is one question I should have asked you that I did not. One question you should have asked me that you did not well when it comes to let’s talk about being abundant What that means because I think it’s a it’s a great topic. So it’s like what does being truly abundant mean? I know you talked about wealth a lot on the show. I’ll ask I’ll ask you the question first and Then I’ll give you my answer Abundance being abundant mean the mean to Derek. to me abundance has nothing to do with with money. It has everything to do with Time and in helping people and legacy. That’s to me what abundance is Okay, awesome, yeah, I like that so we’re very much aligned there so to me I Look at it. There’s a lot of things happen in dualities and polarities in our world, right? So the opposite of abundance is scarcity. I look at abundance as love. I look at scarcity as fear, right? So when we’re making and I believe for anyone we’ve all had trauma. We’ve all had experiences that didn’t go well, right? We’re all human.

That’s part of the human experience here So I believe for anyone who maybe didn’t grow up wealthy or you know How it went through certain things? There’s there’s still remnants of scarcity, right? There’s remnants of fear and all those different things and I think it’s important to be aware of those things and to choose abundance Right to choose to come from that place and when I make decisions I ask myself Is that coming from scarcity or abundance right sometimes of the smallest especially the big decisions? What would be the abundant way to go about it? So to me abundance wealth is a component legacy is a component having an abundance of time is a component, right? And I believe also relationships all that starts from within though It’s the outlook that abundance is available, right? A lot of people, you know when it comes to wealth, right? Well, this be enough time. Oh, there’s never enough time in the day, right? It’s these stories that we tell ourselves that are rooted in scarcity So living in an abundant way means choosing the abundance story and acting from that place That’s really really important coming from that place rather than moving towards it because the scarcity is that trying you know That’s that feeling of like trying and chasing I’m just trying really hard and when you try hard, you know, you usually go back and forth and accomplish nothing, right?

So it’s coming from okay. What would I like to experience there? What’s that next level abundance and look get it more holistically as well I think a big mistake that I’ve made in the past is like to compromise, you know to compromise all areas because of one and I think it’s just a fallacy. I think it’s like it’s saying okay I’m just gonna focus on money and business and all these other things and I’ll deal with later It’s not really how it works because if you’re empty in these other buckets You’re may your bucket of business starts to leak as well, right? so living abundantly to me is choosing first and foremost to live abundantly in those areas and Also embodying it making decisions your actions need to speak like you’re coming from that abundance. 

Shifting from Scarcity to Abundance: Practical Tools to Elevate Your Energy and Make Empowered Decisions.

Yeah Everything that you and you talk about I can’t agree with more and it’s it’s very synergistic with our mantra live your vision love your life the whole point of generations of wealth is is is really that abundance mentality because I’ve always had that belief like at my core But I will admit like everybody it’s very easy to get sucked back into that scarcity. It’s very easy to play it safe and or Maybe you can’t even play it safe. Maybe you are just scared shitless that you don’t know where next week’s check is coming from and and so when the opportunity which is the abundance presents itself and I do believe the opportunity of lifetime comes around about once a week if you have the right mentality and you know what to look For and and then you you grab it and do something with it, right? I I can truly tell you that right before you and I started this show I was having a conversation with my wife and there’s there’s decisions that we have to make every week in business as business owners and Some of the decisions that her and I were just discussing not 40 minutes ago. I would say we were looking at from a scarcity mentality and seven abundance mentality and now I’m gonna go back and revisit that conversation with her and we’re gonna Maybe make different decisions, but it’s easy to get sucked back in. We’re all human we all have we all have shit that can pull us in different directions and and You know, I’m blessed.

I’ve got such a incredible network of people and and you know, the opportunities like I said, I Actually have to turn stuff down all the time because it does take me away from my vision and but they’re awesome opportunities Maybe right But there is no scarcity there really isn’t so Yeah, and I think I’ll add to that too This is something very practical that everyone could use if you understand the scale and just look it up map of consciousness Like it’s it’s googleable, but if you understand the scale those lower energies guilt shame fear unfulfilled desire right those low ones if You’re making decisions from that place and sometimes sometimes they they trick you sometimes It’s like well, that’s that’s a respect thing or you made that commitment Well, no, it’s like if someone is guilt tripping you or like making you feel obligated or shaming you that’s a lower energy Right, and so that shame begets more shame, you know It’s like like attracts like and so let’s say you’re in a place of fear around something.

Okay? It might be tempting to say how do I go to love? You know, how do I go to just full trust and surrender right you might hear a lot of that spiritual traditions It’s so much easier because fear is at 100 Unfulfilled desires at 120 just take yourself up a level right? So if you’re in fear start dreaming about something it could be completely unrealistic, right? So if you’re in fear and let’s say you want a Lambo you start looking at pictures of the lamb like like shoot I’ve only I had that lamb like really like desire it but like in a it also desperate way But it’s higher energy and then we can go to anger get pissed off man. I deserve that Lambo, you know F those guys They screwed me. I need my Lambo right and then we go up to pride. Oh, I’m I’m the man I’m gonna get that Lambo right and it’s it’s like an egoic type of pride and then 200 is where the scale tips that’s more neutral. That’s more like boredom like okay, you know, I’ll figure it out Okay, that’s when we start to see the world as like good We start to see things more abundantly and then we go up to courage Which is that 275 and that’s more like being courageous and that’s where we start to have more energy and make better decisions, right? So if you find yourself and you’re listening to this and you find yourself Making big decisions or you know going back and forth or didn’t it really stressed out time? What you want to do is raise yourself up a notch and then it different things start to come into fruition.

It’s a fascinating thing Yeah That’s incredible. That’s incredible. Well as we start to wind this up, I believe you’ve got a Little giveaway that you that you have for my listeners, right? Yeah, so we’ve got a meditation. I think we’ll have a link in the show notes I’m not sure what the exact URL is, but it’s called the rapid clarity meditation, right? And someone doesn’t have to be spiritual They don’t have to be religious but you listen to this thing 10-15 minutes It walks you through a process if you need to make a decision if you want to get clear on something You’ll be a minute is that what happens?
