Forgive my terrible drawing, although I only have to do this so it shouldn't be that hard. Stairs should be able to do that. Okay, cool. So erica and all of you at home doing this yourself, you don't have the manual, take out a piece of paper, draw this and then this, and now you have a step. Okay, erica what's important about money to you, pas person. So I want all of you to say what's, to answer the question what's important about money to you, the first thing that comes to your mind. Write it down, don't judge it, don't think about it, and then stop and look back up here, erica what's. Most what's important about money to you. Freedom, freedom. My handwriting's terrible also. So just remember that freedom, okay, great want to put this question on here so you can see it what's important about this is what you're gonna do at home what's important about freedom to you. So let me just explain this. So when you're doing this, you're going to you're going to answer the question what's important about money to me? I write it down, freedom, right? Or security or whatever comes to mind, having a house doesn't matter, and then the next question 00:03:57.455 --> 00:04:00. is what's important about that? So for me, I'm going 00:04:00.77 --> 00:04:03. to ask erica what's important about freedom to you 00:04:03.74 --> 00:04:05. now it's really, really important is that you do this 00:04:05.78 --> 00:04:08. now and then you do this later with your partner, 00:04:08.5 --> 00:04:10. because you're going to get some answer at the top 00:04:10.36 --> 00:04:12. of your staircase here, and you're gonna want to make 00:04:12.23 --> 00:04:14. sure you know what's important to your partner, right? 00:04:14.78 --> 00:04:16. So that's something you do now and then you come back 00:04:16.43 --> 00:04:18. to just pull out the manual, and then you can do it 00:04:18.18 --> 00:04:20. again. What's important about freedom to you, erica, 00:04:21.34 --> 00:04:22. living my authentic life. 00:04:26.5 --> 00:04:30. I'm going to abbreviate here, living my authentic 00:04:30.84 --> 00:04:31. life, 00:04:32.64 --> 00:04:35. what's important about living your authentic life 00:04:35.47 --> 00:04:35. to you. 00:04:43.64 --> 00:04:44. Being able to help others. 00:04:47.04 --> 00:04:50. Great. That makes sense being able to help others. 00:04:52.94 --> 00:04:55. Now helping others means different things to different 00:04:55.79 --> 00:04:59. people. Right? So what's important about helping others 00:04:59.96 --> 00:05:03. to you, making things easier for other people, from 00:05:03.28 --> 00:05:07. my mistakes. So so that other people can sort of travel 00:05:07.87 --> 00:05:09. their path more easily. 00:05:17.74 --> 00:05:19. I'm the only one that really needs to read this 00:05:21.24 --> 00:05:23. so it's, so helping others is important about that. 00:05:23.75 --> 00:05:27. Is it's easy to make things easier for others so they 00:05:27.12 --> 00:05:31. can travel their path more easily? Right? So just, 00:05:31.75 --> 00:05:33. like tto learn from, 00:05:34.44 --> 00:05:37. yeah, to go through life easier than I did that path, 00:05:37.35 --> 00:05:40. or whatever. Okay, perfect. That makes sense. Okay, 00:05:40.46 --> 00:05:44. great. So what's important about making life easier 00:05:44.23 --> 00:05:46. for others so they can travel their path more easily. 00:05:47.8 --> 00:05:49. Teo what's important. 00:05:54.04 --> 00:05:57. Um, I want to make the world a better place. I know 00:05:57.77 --> 00:06:02. that sounds cliche, but that that sound cliche hands 00:06:02.53 --> 00:06:02. off. 00:06:06.86 --> 00:06:09. Wouldn't we all like erica to be able to make the 00:06:09.12 --> 00:06:09. world a better place? 00:06:11.36 --> 00:06:13. Obviously, she's doing that already, and let's, make 00:06:13.79 --> 00:06:16. it even better. What's important about making the 00:06:16.18 --> 00:06:18. world a better place to you, erica. 00:06:20.6 --> 00:06:21. Um 00:06:24.66 --> 00:06:28. so that my kids have a kinder world. 00:06:32.16 --> 00:06:35. And what's important about your kids having a kinder 00:06:36.16 --> 00:06:36. world. 00:06:42.66 --> 00:06:44. So that things will be easier for love. 00:06:47.26 --> 00:06:47. So let's. 00:06:50.66 --> 00:06:51. Let's assume 00:06:53.06 --> 00:06:54. that here you are. You're making the world a better 00:06:54.54 --> 00:06:55. place. 00:06:56.26 --> 00:06:58. Your kids have a kinder world and it's, easier for 00:06:58.68 --> 00:06:58. them. 00:07:00.43 --> 00:07:01. Imagine that that. 00:07:04.06 --> 00:07:05. What's important about that to you, 00:07:06.36 --> 00:07:10. I think while it comes back to authenticity, ok, like 00:07:12.66 --> 00:07:16. so things are set up for them. They have a quicker 00:07:16.12 --> 00:07:18. path, the authenticity good and what's important about 00:07:18.9 --> 00:07:19. authenticity. Tio 00:07:20.86 --> 00:07:23. seems like a crazy question. I know how couldn't be 00:07:23.04 --> 00:07:24. more important than that, but what's important about 00:07:24.81 --> 00:07:28. authenticity. What's really important about authenticity? 00:07:28.32 --> 00:07:28. Tio 00:07:29.96 --> 00:07:31. it's, obviously very important. 00:07:33.76 --> 00:07:34.

And for those of you who have the manual, you just concern, kal them. So circle the ones, and what I want you to do is is circle the emotions you experience most when dealing with her, thinking about money, 00:22:04.72 --> 00:22:08. because money determines how you feel, we're just 00:22:08.15 --> 00:22:10. going to take a minute, not even to circle those. 00:22:11.82 --> 00:22:14. So, erica, you're not writing. So what did you, what 00:22:14.26 --> 00:22:16. did you circle emotions that could be on either side? 00:22:16.33 --> 00:22:19. By the way, what emotions are you experiencing? Most 00:22:19.54 --> 00:22:24. often, my top three are stress being on edge and hopeful. 00:22:25.62 --> 00:22:26. Awesome. 00:22:29.12 --> 00:22:29. Stress 00:22:31.82 --> 00:22:34. being on edge 00:22:35.92 --> 00:22:39. and hopeful. Awesome, thank you. Great. What I want 00:22:39.88 --> 00:22:42. you to think about is really what you're experiencing 00:22:42.3 --> 00:22:44. on databases, so you have stress being on edge and 00:22:44.96 --> 00:22:48. hopeful, so you have a couple negative and and one 00:22:48.52 --> 00:22:52. positive. Can you think of a time, erica, in the last 00:22:52.03 --> 00:22:52. week. 00:22:54.57 --> 00:22:56. I wrote this. But I'm gonna skip that. Can you think 00:22:56.65 --> 00:22:58. of a time, a specific time? And last week, when you 00:22:58.95 --> 00:23:00. felt one of these emotions? 00:23:02.82 --> 00:23:03. Which one 00:23:04.25 --> 00:23:08. um probably the on edge on edge great thank you okay 00:23:09.12 --> 00:23:11. and what happened can you give us like thirty seconds 00:23:11.72 --> 00:23:13. of like the story of what happened why were you on 00:23:13.86 --> 00:23:17. edge or what qualitative that I don't have a very 00:23:17.55 --> 00:23:20. good I have like an overall budget and I've broken 00:23:20.77 --> 00:23:24. it down you know monthly weekly but I don't have a 00:23:24.98 --> 00:23:25. very good 00:23:27.42 --> 00:23:32. gage as teo managing it daily ok but what specifically 00:23:32.77 --> 00:23:36. happened oh um so I was just going to the grocery 00:23:36.25 --> 00:23:40. store and it was at the end of the week and we just 00:23:40.1 --> 00:23:43. put a certain amount of money in the in our spending 00:23:43.13 --> 00:23:47. account for that and I before we got to the er I was 00:23:47.82 --> 00:23:50. just getting to the checkout and I sort of panicked 00:23:50.1 --> 00:23:51. that I needed to make sure that I had enough money 00:23:51.8 --> 00:23:52. in my debit 00:23:53.47 --> 00:23:56. in my debit account felt like your aunt to cover what 00:23:56.73 --> 00:23:59. it wass so I needed to check my phone real quick to 00:23:59.67 --> 00:24:02. make sure that that account had the money in it okay 00:24:02.58 --> 00:24:04. perfect so I'm sure a lot of you have experienced 00:24:04.77 --> 00:24:08. similar similar stuff so the point of this exercise 00:24:08.32 --> 00:24:12. is to really think about um the emotions that you're 00:24:12.5 --> 00:24:14. experiencing and how it's affecting your life right? 00:24:14.81 --> 00:24:16. Because you're experiencing these emotions of money 00:24:16.63 --> 00:24:20. and it's dictating how you feel it's dictating what 00:24:20.05 --> 00:24:23. you do is dictating what you believe and what I am 00:24:23.26 --> 00:24:26. here to tell you is that you get to choose those emotions 00:24:26.84 --> 00:24:29. and what often happens with my private clients is 00:24:29.25 --> 00:24:31. that you know they say they want more money and that 00:24:31.22 --> 00:24:34. we get clear on what they want specifically but when 00:24:34.0 --> 00:24:37. we actually start doing things like what the ultimate 00:24:37.63 --> 00:24:39. law ultimately want which are the emotions the way 00:24:39.73 --> 00:24:42. that they feel they start getting way before the money 00:24:42.84 --> 00:24:44. comes doesn't mean the money doesn't come the money 00:24:44.73 --> 00:24:47. comes but they get that way before the money comes 00:24:47.74 --> 00:24:50. because when you're clear on the emotions that you 00:24:50.01 --> 00:24:53. want and you decide to talk to about decision right 00:24:53.86 --> 00:24:59. decide what isn't most important to you and that you 00:24:59.03 --> 00:25:01. need to have those emotions then you can control your 00:25:01.79 --> 00:25:02. life 00:25:03.14 --> 00:25:05. so choose what to emotions would you like to experience 00:25:05.41 --> 00:25:06. and you can start that and your manual 00:25:08.34 --> 00:25:10. so first I want you to really think about why are 00:25:10.64 --> 00:25:11. you here 00:25:12.44 --> 00:25:16. why are you taking the time online right now watching 00:25:16.32 --> 00:25:19. this time out of your day time is the most important 00:25:19.68 --> 00:25:22. thing you have why are you doing that why are you 00:25:22.69 --> 00:25:25. here I want to think about that and you can write 00:25:25.53 --> 00:25:28. this down your manual on page fifteen and also what 00:25:28.82 --> 00:25:33. you want and why this is this is a real kicker why 00:25:33.23 --> 00:25:35. is it important for you to change because what you're 00:25:35.42 --> 00:25:37. realizing now that this is all about you and your 00:25:37.62 --> 00:25:41. money is the you you are controlling your life, hopefully 00:25:41.03 --> 00:25:42. right, or you can control your life. 00:25:44.14 --> 00:25:46. So why is it important for you to change? 00:25:50.44 --> 00:25:52. And then the second question. I want you to ask yourself. 00:25:55.14 --> 00:25:59. Is how committed are you so look you probably heard 00:25:59.72 --> 00:26:02. this I didn't make this story up but it's a great 00:26:02.31 --> 00:26:05. depiction of what I mean here and I heard this from 00:26:05.19 --> 00:26:08. someone amazing I heard him tell this story his name's 00:26:08.1 --> 00:26:10. e t u can look of e t inspired I'll plug him I don't 00:26:10.61 --> 00:26:12. know the guy but like he's really incredible he tells 00:26:12.51 --> 00:26:13. this story 00:26:14.16 --> 00:26:17. very very well and what he what he said was this he 00:26:17.32 --> 00:26:20. said there's a there's a man who wants to be rich 00:26:20.79 --> 00:26:23. so he goes to this guru you know I know it's not the 00:26:23.31 --> 00:26:25. same story already so don't worry but he goes to this 00:26:25.48 --> 00:26:28. guru who rich someone who's wealthy and he says he 00:26:28.4 --> 00:26:32. says what how do I become rich and so the guy said 00:26:32.81 --> 00:26:34. the guru said meet me 00:26:35.36 --> 00:26:37. at the beach tomorrow at four a m 00:26:38.95 --> 00:26:40. you know are you are you coachable?

If felt like 00:28:57.97 --> 00:29:00. it was ours, I was where's, the top where's, the bottom. 00:29:00.84 --> 00:29:04. Where am I? Where am I? Finally, I get up and I'm 00:29:04.23 --> 00:29:05. like, 00:29:06.98 --> 00:29:11. I look out on the beach, I see this boy since seventh 00:29:11.82 --> 00:29:13. grade, I like and I'm like 00:29:17.08 --> 00:29:17. a life 00:29:18.77 --> 00:29:19. and then I like, 00:29:20.78 --> 00:29:23. look down in my top. 00:29:24.68 --> 00:29:26. My bathing suit top is around my waist, 00:29:28.48 --> 00:29:31. let's, get underwater, and I was like, oh, I goodness 00:29:31.47 --> 00:29:34. out, so embarrassing. And I remember thinking like 00:29:34.28 --> 00:29:37. that was such an embarrassing moment, like or in the, 00:29:37.41 --> 00:29:40. you know, in the truck, back with his dad or something, 00:29:40.19 --> 00:29:42. and I'm like that guy just total there, saw these 00:29:42.25 --> 00:29:44. guys. Not that they were big at all, but I was so 00:29:44.83 --> 00:29:47. embarrassed. But, like, it was funny, because I wasn't 00:29:47.65 --> 00:29:50. that focus on that, like his right after. Like all 00:29:50.12 --> 00:29:50. I cared about, 00:29:52.48 --> 00:29:56. all I cared about was like taking that breath. If 00:29:56.48 --> 00:29:59. you want to be successful, if you want to master money, 00:30:00.18 --> 00:30:03. you want to make this happen in your life, you need 00:30:03.08 --> 00:30:06. to want it as much as you can breathe.
