Hey, everyone, and welcome back to quantum revenue

expansion, the podcast, I'm so excited because I have the

coolest guest here today, we might laugh, we might cry. Dr.

Barbara portsalon is in the house, growing her super

successful business telling us all the things and nothing I

love about you, Robert, is you're just honest. So I don't

even know what's gonna come out of your mouth today. And that

makes me really happy. So I'm excited to provide

entertainment, joy, and some amazing tips along the way.

Because today we're talking about how to rewrite your story.

Got to do it, and exponentially expand your business. And on our

show, and our programs talk a lot about rewriting the story.

And I love I love what you're going to bring to it today,

though the twist on it, how it's worked for you, and really what

you recommend for others. So before I tell you about Barbara,

a couple housekeeping things. Oh, so many things. If you

haven't yet, go to my homepage, Ursula inc.co. And to the

gentleman out there who owns the.com I still want to buy it.

Sell it to me. That's a whole other show. All right, I'm on

the homepage. There's quantum revenue expansion, the

masterclass which goes along with the podcast. If you haven't

downloaded that, definitely grab that. If you haven't been to the

talks intensive, and you want to come and play next year in two

extra sales and save 10 or more hours off your work week, you

can go to Ursula inc.co forward slash apply that to some details

about you and your company. And we'll tell you all about the 2x

intensive, we'd love to have you. Alright, that's enough.

Let's let's dive in. So Dr. Barber, fourth line, helps

business owners close the gap between where their business is

and their vision for it. Her personal mission is to help

100,000 businesses innovate so they can make more of an impact

in our world, and fall in love with the work they do, which I

think is missing from the world today. Using a combination of

deep organizational development experience and her intuitive

gifts. Her work supports a cross discipline, integrated approach

to strategy, which is like no other and I can say I know, I

know your clients love you. I know you, you just have given so

much to the world. And we go, we go all the way back to poke it

out powerhouse. So for our PDP friends who are listening, a

shout out to that, and that connection. And I remember

flying to New Mexico to hang out with you guys, which was

amazing. And we've just been in each other's world. So let's

start with your story. What like brought like, what's your story?

What brought you into the world of revenue? And also maybe along

the way, how did you start to rewrite your story?

Oh, well, like you said, we never know what's going to come

out of my mouth. So let's see what story I tell today. i Wow,

I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell the short story. Since

we only have about 30 minutes for this. I was so tired of

working at places where it felt like a dysfunctional family. And

you know, I think about my, I'll say my 20s will start a 20s

because I've got a lot there. But basically in the 20s in my

20s I would take positions, I would be so excited to work at a

new company, my background was in psychology, I thought, I'm

going to help people I'm going to make a great impact. I'm so

excited to work with this great, amazing boss that's hiring me.

And shortly after, and this has happened multiple times shortly

after I wind up in a situation where I just feel like all of

the stuff that takes place in dysfunctional families. I did

study psychology, you know, the, the borderline tendency is the

backbiting the secrets, all of that stuff played out in the

workplace. And I would like I would get so deflated. You know,

one of the things I you mentioned is I want people to

fall in love with the work they did. I would go in excited about

falling in love with the work and I would leave every day

feeling like I was gonna throw up and I was trapped. And I I

did this for years. And I remember I don't know how many

of your listeners forehead that Sunday night feeling where you

have that like pit Yeah, you're that bit raise your hand I raise

your hand even if you're just listening. elliptical, okay,

right. It's like you just feel like oh my god, I can't even go

to bed. I'm gonna wake up in the middle of the night. I'm so

nervous. I don't want to go to work. I'm walking on eggshells,

and I just couldn't stand it and I saw so many people in that

situation. And so that really was the impetus for me to start

looking at the workplace in a very different way.

Oh my gosh, okay. Is there more like are you gonna

but I wasn't sure if I should stop talking. I can go on

forever. And it'll just be the Barbara podcast and I

what I was just wanted to highlight is that Sunday night

feeling so bad for me that I actually had to change. So I

used to have a meeting with the owners of the tech company that

I worked for, and and Monday morning was the morning we would

go over all the numbers for the company. And I was like, why

don't I scheduled that day? So Sunday's were a nightmare. So

Sunday's I would have to work that right, I'd have to go over

all the numbers. And finally, it occurred to me be better if we

did this on a Friday so that I would do the work on a Thursday

and not have a nervous breakdown Sunday night. So I totally feel

you on that. So you felt trapped, you felt stuck. And you

saw other people experiencing the same what happened next?

So it's a pattern right? It you know, it was always this like

honeymoon period for maybe actually starting a job always

was not so much fun. So it's a little awkward in the beginning,

then a honeymoon period, and then misery. And I realized that

I did see a lot of people go through this, but not everybody.

There were some people that actually thrived in places where

other people were miserable. Like I would see, you know, my

family, they'd come home from work, same thing, you know, oh,

I don't like my boss. I don't like this. But there are other

people that are doing well. They're getting promotions,

they're thriving, and I started taking a step back and think

about okay, like, is this just me and everyone? I know, is this

like, is this just, you know, I'm super sensitive? I'm an

empath I've, I'm taking on everyone's feelings? Or are

there really some strategies that I could implement in my

work world that would help me thrive, and not be as easily

impacted by all of the dysfunction around me? So I

started studying that, you know, and I joke that I never read a

book because I want to do my own research. Like, I don't read I,

you know, I just, I get through programs just by doing and I'm a

doer. So I started interviewing people, and interviewing and

find out what are those strategies people use? Who are

these organizational rebels, that really can rock convention,

not get sucked into stuff, have great boundaries, and actually

do well and still love their work, even when stuffs happening

around them. And that's, you know, and that's kind of the

path I went for a really long time. And I did, I studied, I

started writing a book on it, I did some research. And I

realized that you can stand out in the workplace, and you can be

a disrupter. And you can not go with things just because that's

the way they've always been done. And do it in a way that

preserves your integrity, and at the same time, helps you thrive

in the workplace.

Yeah, so. So interestingly, you left that world, so tell us

about, like, when you finally left, started your own company.

And now you're going back in with like, superpower. So tell

us about that part of your part of the journey?

Ah, gosh, so I don't even know, it was, you know, that's like a

big lifespan that we're skipping here. Right. So, okay, so I was

miserable, dysfunctional life, then I somehow went through

this, like, you know, time machine, and now here I am

today, going back into that world in a very different way.

Right. I, I help. I mean, right now, what I do is I help

organizations look at what is their vision? Why did they

actually start their company? What is it that what is their?

Why, you know, we always talk about people's why, why, what is

the work they want to do? What is the impact they want to have

in this world? And then what is the gap between where they are

right now and that impact they want to have, and then I help

them to figure out the right strategy, so they can close that

gap. And a lot of times, it just goes down to people, right? If

your people are engaged, if your people are feeling supported, if

they if they know that they're valued, they're more likely to

you know, produce for you and and I think that that's, it's

very simplified, and you know, now with our world, with the

pandemic, with all of these other things that have hit us,

things are shifting, and what's important to people is very

different. So, that's the work that I do. That's the work that

I love.

Yeah, super exciting. And, you know, it's, it's, I love when

you said like, I do my own research, I interview people,

and I feel that like, that's what I do on the podcast, right?

Like I get to pick people's brains and ask the questions

and, and dig in. And I think that's a it's one thing to read

books, but it's also like having your own experiencing experience

and pulling those ideas out, especially when you talk about

organizational rebels like that really needs to be its own book.

I'm just planting that seed for you again,

I already have like some I have chapters written already, I

just, I don't like to write or read the problem, and it'll get

done. It's being pulled back out. So yes, I have, I have

great case studies actually, that people have given me that

talk about what the workplace was like, and what strategies

they use to, to do better and to thrive and to love their work.

So I come back to that we're gonna we're gonna talk about

that before we get there. So I'm gonna make some notes. Talking

about your own business, right? So a lot of our listeners, as

you know, have their own businesses and you you've worked

with both corporations and individuals, like, you know, all

the worlds. And so when, when you look back at growing your

company, what were your biggest aha moments are the things you

learned about scaling your own business, growing your own

business, having those quantum revenue breakthroughs, or even

the time when, you know, a time when there was more money in the

bank account than bills that needed to be paid. I think

that's always a big breakthrough for us entrepreneurs.

Well, let me see if I can do this without cursing on your

podcast. I'm trying really hard, hard. And my life was a show it

was a show for a long time. And I will say, Gosh, what have I,

there's so many pieces. So one of the things is I I was used to

doing things on my own my entire life. So I am a person that I

don't have any brothers or sisters, just me and my family,

I always just kind of figured stuff out. And I did a lot of

trial and error and a lot of error in that trial and error.

And I was used to just figuring things out on my own for a long

time, I have a little bit of a rebel in me. So if you tell me

that I'm supposed to save money, and I'm supposed to pay, you

know, pay this bill and do all this, I have a little rebel

that's like, I don't want to do that I want to do something fun.

And so balancing that for many years in, in the best way I

could lead to a pretty disasterous disaster as show. So

I'm gonna explain what that means. It looks great on the

outside. So on the outside, I've always been really great at

connecting with people at getting work at doing great

work. And behind the scenes, I was too smart to get help. I

thought it was too smart to get help, because I've always

figured stuff out on my own. And I didn't want to let people in

to some of the shame and secrets that I was hiding. And so you

know, when people talk about imposter syndrome and all that,

it always, if folks always say, oh, Barbara, you had imposter

syndrome. It's like, yeah, you know, I fought that for a really

long time, because it looked great on the outside. And it

was, but behind the scenes, everything wasn't neat. And part

of that was because I was so afraid to ask for help terrified

that someone would know that I didn't have it all together. And

because of that, I had my 20s and 30s and early 40s. And, you

know, not financially where I wanted to be. And again, on the

outside, I had a lot of work, I had a lot of clients, I did

great work, people love me lots of referrals, all of that, but

it was feast or famine, you know, I would get a check for

$20,000 I'd pay all my bills, I'd have nothing for another six

months until I got another check. And that was you know,

that was how my world was. And it took until my mid 40s When I

had, you know, things were falling apart, left and right.

And I was holding on I was holding on like, you know the

picture of someone like just drowning and having that one

finger out out, you know, of the ocean. And I was holding on with

everything I could. And finally at some point, it just broke.

And I was 44. And I was looking and I was thinking like I don't

know how I'm going to do this. I don't know if I should be a

business owner anymore. I don't know how I'm going to be able to

make ends meet I don't know what value I'm giving to the planet

anymore. And it was one of those where I had to make a decision,

you know, am I going to put on my big girl pants and and get

help and figure it out and ask for things they need? Or was I

going to just keep going in this cycle forever. And so I did I

reached out i i joined that polka dot powerhouse at that

time. And you know, the short story was, you know, I all I

started a chapter and all the people that were joining, were

all like massage therapists and they were acupuncturist and they

were and they were psychics and they were, you know all of this

stuff that in my world in my right in my left brain type a

world didn't even connect I met Ursula at that time. So I met

you at that time. And I was like, Why are all of these like

woowoo? Spiritual freaky deixe? Coming to me? No offense,

because I am one I just want you to no offense for those of you

that are like, Oh my god, I already hate Barbara. No, I get

that. That's where I was at that time. And, you know, I send my

past Barbara, lots of love. And I didn't realize that at that

time, that I also had intuitive gifts. And I was actually way

more spiritual and intuitive. And instead of fighting that

peace, I finally opened up for help, and support and coaching.

And you were actually one of my first coaches ever. And it was,

it was it's life changing, right? It's life changing. So

that's the short answer. And hopefully, I answered your

question.

Yeah, beautiful. I love that. I, I would say 95% of our guests

come on here and talk about having had imposter syndrome.

And it's always a big surprise to everyone, like, including

myself, like I've talked about, I think I did a whole show on

imposter syndrome. And, you know, just the fear of that,

whatever's behind it. And I also think that's what drives us to

work on ourselves and to be the best that we can be. So there's

that, you know, that the both sides of it. So, so many things

don't ask you, um, you know, today we're talking about

rewriting your story to expand exponentially expand your

revenue. So let's go there, like, how did you? How and when

did you get this idea of rewriting your story? How did

you do it? And how has that served you so that others may do

that as well?

Okay, so I do it every day. So this is right. It's not like,

oh, let's just rewrite it, put it on the shelf, and we're done.

So I don't remember who said it, I think it was probably one of

your mentors, but I don't read. So I'm not really sure. But when

you know, when you're born, you're born with two fears, the

fear of being alone, and the fear of falling. And every other

fear insecurity is something that you've learned in some way,

you know, when your mom says to you, oh, you're never going to

be able to do that you're so ditzy, or you're not smart

enough, or whatever it is, and that stuff sticks with you. And

you could be, you know, top level CEO, goddess of the world,

and still have some of those old stories playing in your head,

you never know where they're going to come back and like bite

you. And at the same time, it's really important to get rid of

it. And I will actually another thing that you've really helped

me with, which I don't know if I ever said that. But now's the

time is in gosh, it was probably sales camp, you had us write

out. And I call it our organizational story. But it was

the vision, you know, in six months from now, if your

irrational mind wasn't telling you all the things you couldn't

do, what is your vision, and write it out as if it's

happening now. So and this is something that I use all the

time with my clients, I modified it a little bit. And at the same

time, this has been the most helpful for me to rewrite my

story, I write it out, I write out who I'm celebrating with how

much money's in my bank account. When I'm at the bar and saying

drinks on me to everyone in the bar in Hawaii. You know, I'm

picturing that I'm feeling it. And I'm not worrying about the

how I'm writing that out. Because if you don't know where

you're going, you're never going to get there. And then I do what

you had us do in that sales camp. I wrote out and I continue

to do this right out and I call it my CRA P story. And it's

basically I get a junky piece of paper, I get a bottle of wine I

get I get incense. And then I realized I was dating myself. So

now I say essential oils, but I get it because I'm like I'm an

80s kid we did. And so yeah, so I get my bottle of wine, I get

my essential oils, I get the bubble bath, and I write out why

I'm not there. And that's where I write out or encourage people

to write out, you know, who do you want to blame? Who do you

want to yell at? Who was the person that screwed you in fifth

grade, that you're still carrying that message who called

you fat? Whatever it is, you know, you write out why you're

not there yet? Why aren't you at your vision, and then, which we

also did in sales camp is ceremoniously get rid of it. And

so I think we crumpled it up there I burn it, you know you

can burn it. You can throw it on a mountain, whatever it is, but

it really is the process of looking at where do you really

want to be, and really feeling those feelings and then getting

rid of all of the junk. So you can be there. And so that's

that's what I do. And I do that regularly. I mean, at least once

a year I go through that activity just focused on my

vision, which changes.

Yeah, beautiful. And you know, I learned that originally and

there's so many different versions of it and so many of us

are doing it original I've learned about it. In NLP neuro

linguistic programming, the idea of what we're doing is bringing

in that future self so that self six months from us, when we step

into that moment of celebration, that's person our future self

already knows. And when you start to access that knowing and

you bring that back with you, your subconscious mind starts to

work from that. And it's so powerful because stuff just

stuff just starts to shift and people start to show up and

things start to happen. It's like, well, I can't explain

that. And we don't need to, we don't need to explain it to

experience it. So for our listeners, if you haven't been

practicing scripting as your future self, it's so powerful.

And I love that. Yeah, we were at sales camp, we couldn't start

fires inside the hotel. So we just read

time. On it, I understood.

But I always recommend, like, if you tear up your story, make

sure it goes all the way outside of your house. You don't want it

floating around. So yeah, so rewriting your story to

exponentially expand your revenue is one of the most

powerful things I think we can do as business owners, and also

one of the most overlooked things because I think people

can think Well, that's so simple. That can't work. Yep.

Even as you're doing it, as you're reading, as you're right,

I laugh because I mean, when I wrote my first story, I was

like, it was crying the whole time. Right, my horrible, like,

blame everybody's story, it alls. But it illuminates like,

the reason you're holding on to why you can't have what you

have. And it's a big lie. It's such a big lie. So I appreciate

you sharing that. So we're that you know, what's happened over

since the pandemic, let's talk about that. Because I think for

I mean, I know business owners, I know, you know, this is about

$10 million businesses lay them down at the front end of the

pandemic, they were in the training world like we were, and

it was a scary, weird, interesting time. Right? And

yet, you and I are both still here. We know a lot of people

who have gone on to thrive during the pandemic, what was

that like for you from, you know, March of 2020? What kind

of stories did you have to let go up? To keep going,

I had to let go of the story that I needed in office, that I

needed to see people and that I wasn't professional, unless if I

was working out of my bedroom or my room. And in my house. That

was big for me. And that was actually really hard. Because so

and for me, I didn't share my whole past. But a big part of my

past was around how you looked and appearances and all of this,

you know, what's professional, what's not professional people

that are spiritual, or woowoo people that go outside or

granola like I was born in this crazy, crazy bubble. And for me

breaking through that and realizing that I actually don't

need an office. I don't need I don't need things. I just have

enough that I am enough. And the work that I do is enough. And

that was really powerful for me. And now you know, I I don't do I

don't want to leave my house. I didn't want to go outside. I

don't I don't even want to get an office anymore. I realized

that that's, you know, that was something that was about

appearances. It wasn't about making a difference. And you

know, again, like I have to keep rewriting that story like I am

no, I am more evolved than I was 1020 years ago, but I am in no

way there yet. 100%. So that was interesting. The other piece is

I realized that the connection that a lot of people need and so

important. And it was one of the things that I did throughout the

pandemic was I just checked in with people like I would wake up

every day and say, Who can I give value to today? And I would

pick up the phone. And I would actually call him like I

wouldn't text. I actually picked up the phone, like no one would

answer by phone. And and that's a practice I still do today. I

wake up every day. And I think who can I give value to not

who's paying me who's a client. It's like who pops in my head. I

even send someone a text message before I was just like, I just

wanted you to know I'm thinking about you. I didn't call because

it was like six o'clock in the morning. But that's the kind of

thing that shifted for me during the pandemic, realizing how

important that connection is. For folks. I used to think that

I could just do everything by myself. You know, I didn't need

it. Like I said, I went through years thinking I could just

figure it all out on my own. I don't need people I don't need

to ask for help. I don't need and now it's like oh yeah, I

actually do like that connection.

Yeah. And it's so much faster and easier. Like let's just

let's just get the support you need. Okay, so circling back. I

love that like what you did, you know really connecting with

humans. Yes. Now that we live in zoom boxes, right? works? And

even if they don't answer you can leave a message. I love

that. So, circling back to quantum revenue, yes. What are

your top two tips for busting through an income ceiling?

What's been your experience with that?

So it's really focusing for me, it's been focusing on the

feeling that I know I will have once I get to that next level,

and I know this sounds super out there for some, but it really is

about embodying that feeling. And I got that, again, from you.

And from Rebecca, it's been really, really helpful. If

someone would have told me 20 years ago to embody a feeling I

would have been like, WTF, like, I don't know what that is and

how to do it. And that's something that I've really

worked on, because my mind would say, Oh, you don't have this

money, you have no money in your bank account, you don't have

that you need to pay bills. And it's like all this chitter

chatter, instead of just focusing on the feeling and

embodying that feeling. And the fun for me, it's peace, that the

feeling is peace, there's no, there's no stress, there's no

worry, I have enough, I have more than enough to do what's in

my highest and best for my family in my business. And that,

to me, is my definition of success, which I've also had to

re revise actually, in this past year, I used to think success

was how much money you had. And now I realize it's about being

able to make the decisions and do things that are in the

highest and best of your family and your business. That to me is

success. It's not a it's not a number in the same way.

Yeah, so beautiful. It's not a number. And you know, really,

you know, knowing that, that's interesting, you said that to

about knowing, like embodying a feeling every day.

So let's talk about that for a second. How would you describe

the feeling that you embody that are one of those feelings? Or

like, was it a feeling of confidence or peace? Or maybe

you said it was peace? Or like, what really worked for you?

It's so hard to tell someone how to do it, right? Like, that's

why 10 years ago, if someone said to me embody peace, I would

have been like, oh, what? And so

like, where do you feel in your body? Is that your stomach? Is

it your heart? Is it your thoughts?

Is my entire my entire being and and have to close my eyes?

Because I really, it's, it's this? Gosh, you know, I couldn't

meditate, I couldn't do any of these things for so long. Yeah,

to teach myself. And so it's a fee. It's just, yeah, it's like

tingling in my body. It's chills in my body. And it's, you know,

you can feel yourself when you tighten up, and you can feel

yourself when you relax. And it really is about just grounding

in your body and your feet on the floor, and your seat and

your seat, like you say, your seat and your seat, your feet on

the floor, and just feeling like just paying attention. There's

like this mindfulness, and I guess. So when I feel like for

example, I had a time when someone I was there was it was a

cybercrime, and they stole $5,000 For me, and, you know,

feeling like just in like the stress Come on, and in saying, I

don't have another $5,000 that I'm going to be able to pay off

to my clients waiting for money, I thought I had the money, I was

paying them. But someone else took the money and like, my

clients still needed money. And like all of this stuff, I

literally had to take a step back, and just get out of my

head, not try to figure things out intellectually, and just

feel in my body, that it's going to be okay, and this piece and I

don't know how to explain it in any other way than that. But

it's like, you have to literally tell yourself, like, stop, stop

spinning stop, like, you know, hit yourself over the head with

that spiritual to buy for to stop. Yeah, and just be and, and

trust. And so all of that goes into embodying a feeling.

Oh, it's good. I think that's a great way to explain it and tune

into it. And I think it's also reminder that you don't have to,

you don't have to be a great meditator or anything like that

to just embody a feeling and to to hold on to that and the easy

way to think about it too is it's it's the opposite a lot.

It's like the opposite of whatever you don't want to feel

any more like when you were talking about the Cybercrime you

probably felt stressed and there was scarcity and like not

feeling versus moving out of it and saying, You know what? More

money is coming. I have Pease are faith or trust in that, just

gonna lean into that feeling. And while we can't measure that,

per se, from a quantum physics perspective yet, I know, I know,

I haven't knowing we will be able to do that someday. And in

the meantime, we always get to practice that, because I

guarantee you when you're feeling when you're out of

scarcity, and you're out of just those lower emotions, and you're

into joy or love, it's just so much easier, and you don't care

as much about the other stuff, you don't get all wound up about

it. So okay, we're past our time, and I could talk to you
