Speaker:

a lot of coaches and consultants and people

Speaker:

Speaker:

but to make the world a better place and

Speaker:

exception. I have a guest here today who who does work

Speaker:

with, people to, figure out what

Speaker:

is next. And you might find yourself,

Speaker:

wondering that, from time to time. Or sometimes

Speaker:

we, come up with obstacles or we're faced with

Speaker:

obstacles and and, things come up where it's

Speaker:

like, I don't know. I don't know what to do next.

Speaker:

I'm I'm not sure what my next steps are. And so we're gonna talk

Speaker:

about that. It's a good, it's a good conversation to have.

Speaker:

If you have any sort of unclarity over, you know,

Speaker:

what direction you want your business, to go in, this is gonna be a

Speaker:

great conversation. So today, I have Lorna Sherlund here with me

Speaker:

today. And, Lorna, go ahead and say hello, and,

Speaker:

we'll dive in. Hey. Hey. Hey, Chuck. Thank you for

Speaker:

having me here to speak to your audience about the next

Speaker:

step. And, I love, love, love to help driven female

Speaker:

entrepreneurs define that next right step. Right? You know? Like,

Speaker:

we, as women, we love to sit in

Speaker:

or don't know what to do. I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker:

And, I find it so fulfilling to support, driven female

Speaker:

entrepreneurs to find that next right step to make more money, make a

Speaker:

big life, get the time and money freedom that they're looking

Speaker:

for, all the things that they know they have inside

Speaker:

of them, but they're not quite sure which is the next step

Speaker:

before the next step. Right? So many times we do

Speaker:

as entrepreneurs, we take the the next the next wrong step.

Speaker:

It's out of order. I'm the one who helps them to put it

Speaker:

in order. So super excited to be here. Thank you. Oh,

Speaker:

that's incredible. Well, that is something

Speaker:

that, you know, female or not, on the

Speaker:

entrepreneurial journey, it all starts with this

Speaker:

idea of, hey. I'm gonna start a business that

Speaker:

does x. And sometimes we start that without a

Speaker:

plan. We're just following, intuition or

Speaker:

following that idea. And, yeah, like you said, we

Speaker:

don't always do things in the right order.

Speaker:

And and that's where some of the confusion

Speaker:

can come from or that's unclarity

Speaker:

of what is what's working,

Speaker:

what's not working, what should I be doing next, and and I like how you

Speaker:

describe that. So well, let's dive deep into that,

Speaker:

conversation, and I think this is, super helpful. No matter

Speaker:

what time of year you're listening to this episode, you know, come back and maybe

Speaker:

listen to it a a few times. Lorna, I wanna ask you. Like, what

Speaker:

is tell me a little bit of your origin story. How did it come to

Speaker:

be that you're doing this work? Wow. So,

Speaker:

I've been in business for, oh my gosh, 23

Speaker:

years as a real estate broker. I think we're still listed and selling. My last

Speaker:

call was scheduling an appraisal for a property

Speaker:

that we have on a contract. And for me, it it

Speaker:

I came into real estate, because I was stuck in

Speaker:

corporate America. Right? And I didn't know what

Speaker:

to do. So the thing I did was I just left,

Speaker:

right? I just left because the pain was so much that

Speaker:

I could not stay another day in the environment that I was

Speaker:

in. And that led me into real estate And real

Speaker:

estate has been a joy for me, which is why I've been doing it for

Speaker:

over 23 years. And even in real estate,

Speaker:

ups and downs of the real estate industry

Speaker:

led me to getting into transformation,

Speaker:

coaching, leadership, all because, again,

Speaker:

I was stuck. You see, success is

Speaker:

progressive. And the same thing that took you to

Speaker:

the success that you have today may not be the same thing that's gonna take

Speaker:

you to the next level. So each time you get to

Speaker:

uplevel, you're gonna feel stuck. So I

Speaker:

felt that way. And I am now on a journey,

Speaker:

on a mission to help driven female because I'm a driven

Speaker:

person. I love, love, love to support others, and

Speaker:

I love, love, love to get results. And so for me,

Speaker:

to support others like myself who may not understand what's

Speaker:

happening in their space, I'm here to guide them

Speaker:

through to that next step and help them to figure

Speaker:

out, okay, what's next? What's what's the thing that's gonna fulfill

Speaker:

you for the next season of your life? Because that's why we're all

Speaker:

here, to experience life and to evolve. And at every level,

Speaker:

as they say, it's another devil. Right? So

Speaker:

You know, in so many ways, I can relate to what you're saying as a

Speaker:

former executive who in a soul

Speaker:

sucking job. Right?

Speaker:

Where it just felt like my whole life was to serve a

Speaker:

company, and I wasn't serving myself or

Speaker:

my family, or or really others in in

Speaker:

a big, big way. It was really just, you know,

Speaker:

fulfilling obligations, and it was, you know

Speaker:

so what what was the turning point for you where you decided,

Speaker:

you know what? Enough is enough. I'm gonna go I'm gonna go do something

Speaker:

else. Alright. So the I'm gonna share the 2 turning points

Speaker:

in in the two businesses that led me here. So the first one and like

Speaker:

I said, I was in corporate America. Right? And, my boss

Speaker:

actually, back then, took me from another company because that's what we do.

Speaker:

We, you know, he and I, he was a CFO, I I was a

Speaker:

controller, we go into companies and fix them. Right?

Speaker:

And he brought me from the last company, he was at as

Speaker:

my boss. He got another job, a bigger job, brought me into

Speaker:

that company to help fix this new company he was at. So

Speaker:

we're there, we're working, we're doing, we're fixing, doing all the things, and then all

Speaker:

of a sudden out of the blue, they fire him. I'm going, what is going

Speaker:

on? And they brought in instead of a CFO,

Speaker:

they brought in a COO, who in my mind does not have anything they don't

Speaker:

have any concept of money. Right? So as things

Speaker:

progressed, you know, the communication was off. I didn't have the leadership

Speaker:

I have now. Communication was off. Things were

Speaker:

just not sinking, and they were doing things that I didn't agree

Speaker:

with. And one day, I I was like, you know what? And it

Speaker:

the the stress level was unbelievable. Right?

Speaker:

So imagine you're in a job that you're unhappy,

Speaker:

there's no communication with with the the leadership, and you get to

Speaker:

go there every day. That just wasn't working for me. And that was my

Speaker:

tipping point when I said no more. And I literally went

Speaker:

into human resources and I told them, listen, today's my last

Speaker:

day, sign my unemployment, I'm out. And I

Speaker:

did not have a clue, Chuck, what I was gonna do

Speaker:

next, but I knew that I could not stay there anymore.

Speaker:

And I also told them, guys, you have 2 years

Speaker:

max before this company goes out of business. And so said so

Speaker:

then that was 6 I left there 6 days before 911.

Speaker:

Oh, wow. Yeah. 6 days before 911.

Speaker:

And, within a year, that division went out of

Speaker:

business. Right? It was a company that had 4

Speaker:

offices across the country. That specific one in Manhattan

Speaker:

got folded because we told them you key just can't keep doing

Speaker:

what you're doing. Right? That was one pivotal moment that led me into

Speaker:

real estate. The next one

Speaker:

was, for me in real estate, I do a lot

Speaker:

of, valuations for banks when 2,008,

Speaker:

when, you know, this country was going to hell in a handbasket.

Speaker:

I had to figure out what I was gonna do to

Speaker:

keep my house. You get what I'm saying? To keep

Speaker:

my house. That was a pivotal moment.

Speaker:

And I I literally had to come up with a new

Speaker:

business to sustain income coming into my household.

Speaker:

That was another pivotal moment. So you you I I hope you see the trend

Speaker:

here. I do. And in doing so, that new

Speaker:

business that I created, still in real estate,

Speaker:

it was so strenuous. And I remember one day I was driving, I

Speaker:

think I was doing 15 hours worth of driving that day and I

Speaker:

almost ran the car off the road. And

Speaker:

I literally caught myself falling

Speaker:

asleep behind the wheel. I caught myself just in time to pull

Speaker:

over. Just in time. Otherwise, I was

Speaker:

going on a 2 lane road. Otherwise, it would have been a head on collision

Speaker:

because I was falling asleep behind the wheel. And I pulled over and I said

Speaker:

to myself, good lord, Lorna.

Speaker:

This this isn't working. I didn't come to this country to work

Speaker:

so hard to almost kill myself. And that was

Speaker:

a major pivotal moment for me that I

Speaker:

decided something had to shift.

Speaker:

I had to figure out what was going on with me inside,

Speaker:

create a new vision for my life, and make that change, take

Speaker:

the steps towards making that change. That brought me into

Speaker:

leadership coaching, leadership transformation, and all things,

Speaker:

transformation since then. And that was 2,017.

Speaker:

2017, 2018, somewhere around there. And so from there

Speaker:

on, this that's what I've been doing, you know, and helping

Speaker:

people to do the same thing because I've been through I've been there. I know

Speaker:

what they're going through. I know what it feels like, and you

Speaker:

don't have to stay there. There's support and there is a

Speaker:

way out. Yeah. And I believe

Speaker:

because I've gone through similar things and I and I've had so many

Speaker:

conversations with entrepreneurs. It's like there's this moment. It it's kinda

Speaker:

I asked the question without really knowing the answer, but I always know there's

Speaker:

a tipping point. Right? Like, I've been there where I almost

Speaker:

lost my house and, did lose the car. It got

Speaker:

repossessed for about a month. It's like you do have to

Speaker:

pay. And so, you know, the these are the

Speaker:

things that we go through, but it it's a trigger. It's

Speaker:

like Mhmm. You know, do I want to

Speaker:

continue like this? Most likely no. And so

Speaker:

and and then we start to, you know, question, well, what

Speaker:

do I need to do different? Or, you know, how can I get to

Speaker:

hear? It's actually I love that you said it's a trigger

Speaker:

because it is a trigger. But the the key to this thing, though,

Speaker:

is it's a trigger for what? Right? It's

Speaker:

a trigger for, I believe, you're awakening.

Speaker:

Remember how I said before, next level. Right?

Speaker:

I believe that we are here to evolve. You know, I was

Speaker:

talking to somebody the other day and they were they were we're talking about, oh,

Speaker:

there were 40 years in marriage. I I believe me, I was

Speaker:

40 years in a marriage, so I get it. And

Speaker:

what would it look like for for people to be 40 years

Speaker:

in a relationship that is evolving, right, as opposed

Speaker:

to just be in the relationship just to say you're in the relationship for

Speaker:

40 years. You see the difference? It's it's it's an evolution. It's the

Speaker:

same thing in business. You can be in business for 50 years,

Speaker:

but has your business evolved? Have you gotten

Speaker:

to the plateau where you're just okay with the

Speaker:

status quo? Right? Or are you

Speaker:

in that business for 40 years and evolving at at

Speaker:

different levels during the 40 years to make create more impact

Speaker:

and therefore more income in the business. There is a a

Speaker:

distinct difference in the 2. Right? So

Speaker:

I encourage people to look at it and how you do one thing

Speaker:

is how you do everything. The reason why I said marriage was because

Speaker:

you get to do the same thing there too. Right? How do you

Speaker:

make it spicier? How do you, you know, make it juicier? How do

Speaker:

you make it more adventurous to keep it young to the

Speaker:

point where, oh, at 50, 40 years, you still feel

Speaker:

like when you just met and you went on those crazy trips, you

Speaker:

did all those crazy things. Not that they get to be crazy now, but they

Speaker:

get to be different. Right? Different in the sense that it's empowering

Speaker:

you to be a better version of yourself, a bigger version of yourself.

Speaker:

Right? Yeah. Absolutely.

Speaker:

And I know for me, that was part of my journey, and I've talked to

Speaker:

so many people who it all starts somewhere. And

Speaker:

then, like you say, like, really, you know, really

Speaker:

drawing out, you know, something amazing. I mean,

Speaker:

there's there's taking action because of necessity, and then there's

Speaker:

Yes. You know, which which which that's where a lot of trigger

Speaker:

points I find are. But then, like you say, it doesn't

Speaker:

have to stay there. It can it can be something amazing. And a lot

Speaker:

of times, it might be that, that person doesn't

Speaker:

know what to do with it, which is kind of the

Speaker:

work that you do. What are you hearing for so what are you

Speaker:

hearing from people as they they they meet you or maybe they're

Speaker:

just starting to work with you? What, describe kind of where they're

Speaker:

at at the beginning of that. What are some of the questions they're asking? What

Speaker:

are some of the frustrations they are experiencing,

Speaker:

at this moment? Yeah. Thanks for that question because it's a it's

Speaker:

a really good question and a powerful one as well. The first

Speaker:

the one thing I always hear is I don't know what to do. I've

Speaker:

done this before, but I just feel like I'm stuck.

Speaker:

Right? I just feel like I'm stuck. Now

Speaker:

stuck is is that's the only thing that they they can,

Speaker:

they can relate it to. Stuck can be, you

Speaker:

know, with money. Stuck can be with relationships.

Speaker:

Stuck can be with, family. It it it

Speaker:

it can be with anything. It's all related

Speaker:

is what I want people to understand as well. It's all related, but that's what

Speaker:

the first thing they come to me with is. I feel stuck. So

Speaker:

within the conversation, it will unfold

Speaker:

as to which one is the biggest challenge.

Speaker:

Right? So people who come to me, they come to me with

Speaker:

with, I'm stuck. I can't I can't

Speaker:

move past this income ceiling. Right? I can't move past this income

Speaker:

ceiling, or I'm stuck. I don't know. My

Speaker:

business is working, but my my relationships aren't

Speaker:

working. Same thing. I had a dentist

Speaker:

client who she was stuck in her health.

Speaker:

She couldn't figure out what was going on with her body.

Speaker:

Right? And in her mind and her body was telling

Speaker:

her it was because, she didn't like,

Speaker:

standing around because she's a dentist. She does a lot of standing.

Speaker:

She she couldn't figure it out. But what was really going

Speaker:

on was she was really unhappy with her

Speaker:

relationships at home with her son and her husband.

Speaker:

Right? But it all showed up in her body as,

Speaker:

oh, the job is giving me a hard time. I can't stand this

Speaker:

job. Right? It takes a a different,

Speaker:

perspective for for people to to actually relate the

Speaker:

2 together. Because nobody would have related relationship with

Speaker:

husband and children to pain in her

Speaker:

body at work. You get what I'm

Speaker:

saying? No nobody can put that together. Right? Unless

Speaker:

you're somebody like me who understands and have been trained to see

Speaker:

it. Right? And as she as we work together,

Speaker:

she she created we started with a 5 year plan. We've cleaned that

Speaker:

up, started with a 5 year plan, and she created 50% of the 5 year

Speaker:

plan in 4 months. Who does that? Right? She wanted a new

Speaker:

house. She had no clue how she was gonna get it. Right?

Speaker:

She created that. The relationships she wanted to create in her

Speaker:

marriage, she created that. Relationship with her children, she

Speaker:

created that. But again, her body,

Speaker:

you know, I have a I have a mentor who always tells reminds

Speaker:

us, you know, the body is a conduit of consciousness.

Speaker:

Whenever you have you're feeling something in your body, it's it's it's

Speaker:

just a symptom. We love to go to the doctor. We don't take a take

Speaker:

time to actually figure out what is actually happening.

Speaker:

That was that case scenario. But, you know, she came to

Speaker:

me because she she thought, you know, I want a new

Speaker:

job. I want a new business. I wanna create a new

Speaker:

business. That wasn't it. So You know,

Speaker:

that makes me think of every single entrepreneur I've

Speaker:

talked to in the last 2 decades who said, you know what?

Speaker:

I'm I'm tired of what I'm doing. I wanna do something new.

Speaker:

And, and then the number of them where when

Speaker:

you get through, you know, exploring that ends up

Speaker:

not doing something new, but doing what they're already doing

Speaker:

better because it turns out that I mean, I think we all start with

Speaker:

an idea and a vision in our mind of how awesome it's going to

Speaker:

be. And I always tell the people in my group, you know, it's,

Speaker:

a lot of times we start businesses because of an idea that we have,

Speaker:

not to make the millions or whatever, but because we want a better life for

Speaker:

our family. Right? And so the relationships

Speaker:

and, the outcomes and the environment

Speaker:

in our business are directly related, I believe. Because Mhmm.

Speaker:

A, if I started my business because I wanted a better life for my family

Speaker:

and my relationships with my family are not going well,

Speaker:

then how could I expect my business to go well?

Speaker:

Yeah. Absolutely. It's all interrelated. Everything is

Speaker:

energy. So we go I go deeper into all that in

Speaker:

in all my programs and kind of, you know, support them in figuring out,

Speaker:

okay, what is the thing that we get to work on? A lot of

Speaker:

people come. It's business. It's money, and we

Speaker:

have strategy. Here's the other thing I'll I'll say,

Speaker:

and this is a big one. So if you're listening to this, write it down,

Speaker:

frame it, put it in your bath bathroom, put it in your kitchen, put it

Speaker:

in your office, put it everywhere. Strategy

Speaker:

will never trump consciousness. Strategy

Speaker:

will never trump consciousness. So if

Speaker:

you're not aware of why you're feeling the way

Speaker:

you're feeling or why things are happening and you try another

Speaker:

strategy, it can tell you it's just gonna

Speaker:

repeat until you figure out the root.

Speaker:

Awareness is the first step of transformation. If

Speaker:

you're not aware, I talk about it all the time. I talk about 4 things

Speaker:

all the time, awareness, acknowledgment, responsibility,

Speaker:

and integrity. Those four things are paramount

Speaker:

in in in building a business and overall in building

Speaker:

life. So if anything is off with any of those

Speaker:

areas, there's gonna be a challenge. And don't get me wrong. You

Speaker:

know, we all have challenges. Right? I have challenges too. I'm

Speaker:

not saying I'm not standing sitting here standing sitting here saying,

Speaker:

I figured it all out. I figured out a lot of

Speaker:

it, right, just by experience and by training.

Speaker:

And I'm here to tell you that a lot of things that you think are

Speaker:

the problem is not the problem. Something else,

Speaker:

but we gotta figure it out so that you get the results that

Speaker:

you want, that you really want. That's what you want,

Speaker:

not what somebody else wants. Not what your

Speaker:

husband wants. Not what your wife want. Not what your kids want.

Speaker:

What do you want? Right? And

Speaker:

now is the time. Today is the it's the best day to

Speaker:

figure that out because then you can create a different

Speaker:

result for tomorrow. So That is extremely

Speaker:

powerful. And I love so

Speaker:

so consciousness does or or so strategy does

Speaker:

not trump consciousness. I love that.

Speaker:

And it just makes me think of all the people

Speaker:

who, we've ever worked with that, you know, they

Speaker:

they want a new strategy or a new tactic. And I I

Speaker:

even know consultants who are all about strategy. You can go and pay

Speaker:

them $20,000, and they'll do a big strategy,

Speaker:

session. But you still bring yourself to it.

Speaker:

Right? Yeah. All the beliefs that are the actions and

Speaker:

the, you know, all the biases and just, the

Speaker:

fears, the worries, the concerns, like, all of it. We just

Speaker:

bring all of it. And and unless something

Speaker:

there changes, we're still bringing ourselves to it. So, like,

Speaker:

that we I I always relate it to, like, the hamster wheel. It's

Speaker:

like, oh my gosh. It's like this happening again. Right,

Speaker:

or moving the furniture around. You start a new business, but you bring

Speaker:

your old self to it. It's just it's just the same

Speaker:

thing, but in a different order. Right? And so Yeah.

Speaker:

That is so powerful. One of the I wanted to

Speaker:

ask you, since you this is the work that you're doing,

Speaker:

because I think that there is a

Speaker:

belief that if I just do this one new tactic or if I just

Speaker:

do this one new strategy and I know that marketers are probably the blame

Speaker:

for that because we we we write copy.

Speaker:

And I I say we because I'm a I'm a marketer, so I'm probably

Speaker:

guilty of writing copy that makes it sound easier than it

Speaker:

is. But I wanted to ask you because,

Speaker:

the belief that, oh, if I I'm just one funnel away or

Speaker:

if I'm just this one tactic away or if I just did this in my

Speaker:

business, finally, I would get there. And

Speaker:

then, you know, to then instead of

Speaker:

that, turn the conversation to consciousness

Speaker:

and to look there first. What are you finding? Because

Speaker:

I find that so much of the focus is on the tactics. It

Speaker:

is on the strategy. How do you, approach

Speaker:

that conversation to say, well, wait. That's all well and good, but let's

Speaker:

take a look at this first. Well, first of all, it's

Speaker:

feedback. When we talk about triggers, it's all feedback. Everything is feedback.

Speaker:

So the next strategy so for for for

Speaker:

strategy, strategy is boring. Right? Strategy is

Speaker:

boring. So you gotta be conscious of the fact that strategy is

Speaker:

boring. The next strategy can be

Speaker:

the right strategy if you stay in

Speaker:

consistency with that strategy. Do you get what I'm

Speaker:

saying? That's the consciousness that you gotta get to. You gotta get to the consciousness

Speaker:

that this is a process.

Speaker:

I always bring the analogy to an oak tree.

Speaker:

Right? You have a oak an acorn in your hand,

Speaker:

the tree is still there. You're conscious that that's an

Speaker:

oak tree. Get what I'm saying? Mhmm. Consciousness

Speaker:

says it's an oak tree. But can you see the oak tree?

Speaker:

Not right now. Not not yet. No. Not yet because you didn't plant

Speaker:

the oak tree. Right? So now

Speaker:

you're gonna go plant the oak tree. Is the oak

Speaker:

tree still there? Yes.

Speaker:

Mhmm. But now you gotta water the

Speaker:

acorn. Right?

Speaker:

That's the strategy. The strategy is always gonna

Speaker:

work. It's your consciousness that gets to catch

Speaker:

up. Mhmm. Well and the impatience. It's

Speaker:

like wanting the acorn to become an oak tree in Tree over

Speaker:

there. Right? You get what I'm saying? So

Speaker:

consciousness means awareness when you

Speaker:

are aware of how the process work. Delete

Speaker:

Chuck, I spent a lot of money to to learn

Speaker:

this stuff. Right? And gone through all of these

Speaker:

processes. Right? And I'm still going through all the

Speaker:

processes because it's a process.

Speaker:

But the conscious awareness that it's a process

Speaker:

is the consciousness. Because if you're not,

Speaker:

that's why we spend a lot of money

Speaker:

going from coach to coach to coach to coach to the next strategy to the

Speaker:

next strategy to the next strategy. We're not working on the consciousness

Speaker:

of ourselves and the consciousness of the

Speaker:

process that it takes. Most people see the outcome

Speaker:

and admire the outcome of the gurus and be like, yes. It's

Speaker:

possible. That's consciousness as well.

Speaker:

Yes. You're conscious that it's possible. But who do you get to be

Speaker:

in order to bring forth that result

Speaker:

that you're looking at? Right? That's another conscious awareness

Speaker:

of who you are in the space, the time that you are.

Speaker:

Who are you now? And who do you get to become to create

Speaker:

that? Right? So

Speaker:

it's it's all a process, really. Mhmm.

Speaker:

Yeah. And it is a process. And so

Speaker:

sometimes we get impatient and we wanna get you know, we we talk

Speaker:

about, you know, instant, you know, attraction or manifestation. I

Speaker:

think it's largely misinterpreted, but we the the

Speaker:

universe needs a little time. Right? Like, an acorn is not gonna become an

Speaker:

oak tree in a day, but it will happen.

Speaker:

Success is guaranteed with it If Yeah. It when you do

Speaker:

the right things. And Yeah. Yeah. So there's also

Speaker:

I love that. We could unpack that all day long. And

Speaker:

so, before we run out of

Speaker:

time, Lauren, I wanna ask you, because this has all been

Speaker:

great. And I wanna give our listeners an opportunity to

Speaker:

connect with you because, you

Speaker:

know, if you feel stuck in your business or you could

Speaker:

relate to anything we've been talking about today,

Speaker:

then the next best step for you is to, you know,

Speaker:

get into Lorna's world, maybe have a conversation with her. So so,

Speaker:

Lorna, I just wanna ask you, like, what is the best next step for someone

Speaker:

listening in? Who, a, wants to take the

Speaker:

steps towards becoming, unstuck and also,

Speaker:

to connect with you? So two ways we can get

Speaker:

in touch with me. Well, if you're feeling that you wanna if you're feeling stuck

Speaker:

and you wanna get unstuck, I am gonna be holding a,

Speaker:

from stuck to unstoppable master class on January 23rd. So if you

Speaker:

wanna register for that, that would be great. And if you don't

Speaker:

wanna be in a group setting, you can schedule a 1 on 1 call with

Speaker:

me. We can have a conversation. I could see how I can support you. And

Speaker:

you can follow me online, Facebook and Instagram

Speaker:

wanna ask you about your workshop. So so, it's

Speaker:

definitely January right now. Do you,

Speaker:

do you hold this regularly throughout the year? Yes. I

Speaker:

do. So this this would be a a continuum. So if you miss

Speaker:

1, don't worry about it. Masterclass is

Speaker:

once a month. No problem. Because what we wanna help to continue to

Speaker:

spread the word about the the the good work that you're doing.

Speaker:

And so and I just you know, you know, you and I have not

Speaker:

known each other a long time, but it is, very

Speaker:

apparent to me that, we're that we

Speaker:

believe in a in a similar way, and, we

Speaker:

serve some of the same people but in different ways. And I just look

Speaker:

forward to seeing all the different ways that we can, collaborate

Speaker:

and support each other as as we continue on this

Speaker:

journey. Before we sign off, I just wanna ask

Speaker:

you, and we spoke briefly about this at the at the beginning of the

Speaker:

episode. I mean, the the theme of this episode is look.

Speaker:

You real and I say this to my group all the time. In order to

Speaker:

grow your business, you must be willing to grow yourself. And,

Speaker:

you know, this is this has been my journey, you know, 30

Speaker:

plus years, of because and I say 30

Speaker:

plus because once upon a time, I did not look at this at all. And

Speaker:

I remember getting my very first cassette tape,

Speaker:

which was an audio program, you know, about,

Speaker:

about success. I think it was Jim Rohn, and,

Speaker:

and then one of the very first books that, that

Speaker:

I had read, and that started a journey, of

Speaker:

self development and and and learning and so much

Speaker:

great from books. So I wanted to ask you, and I asked all my

Speaker:

guests, and I'm always fascinated by the answers, if you had

Speaker:

any must read book recommendations. And

Speaker:

Absolutely. I'm an avid

Speaker:

reader avid reader. If you ask me what

Speaker:

that's my highest value. Learning is my highest value.

Speaker:

I was sharing with my my brother. I was talking to him yesterday for the

Speaker:

new year, and we're we were reminiscing. And,

Speaker:

there's a purpose for this story. We're reminiscing and we remember

Speaker:

when we were kids, like 3 years old, we were listening to

Speaker:

Earl Nightingale on, you know, growing up in Jamaica on

Speaker:

the front porch with my grandfather. So,

Speaker:

number 1 book is the bible for me. Number 2 book is,

Speaker:

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. And number 3 that I

Speaker:

would highly recommend because it's such an easy read is The Go Giver.

Speaker:

A little red book called The Go Giver. The Go Giver.

Speaker:

But, yeah, we used to listen to Earl Nightingale when we were, like,

Speaker:

babies. We didn't know what was going on. And, you know, as both of us

Speaker:

have evolved over the years, we can now

Speaker:

remember that the seeds remember that acorn? That was my

Speaker:

grandfather planted those seeds in my spirit from back

Speaker:

then. Go figure. Right? Fan well,

Speaker:

and and just as you mentioned that, I can just hear his signature

Speaker:

deep voice in in and and, I remember

Speaker:

I had a program from his called the strangest secret, and I must have listened

Speaker:

to that thing a 100 times. Yep. Yep. It's so

Speaker:

fun. I actually got an opportunity last year to go to the

Speaker:

headquarters. Oh, wow. Yeah. And I met Don

Speaker:

Green and Russell Brunson and and because they

Speaker:

had all the stuff. And the first picture I wish

Speaker:

I brought it out. I didn't know we're gonna talk about it, but I actually

Speaker:

have a a a signed picture of Earl Lightenio from

Speaker:

that visit. So Oh, fantastic. Well, definitely envious of

Speaker:

that because I'm a huge fan. And,

Speaker:

well and based on this conversation, now a a new fan

Speaker:

of of your work as well. And and and I really look forward to us,

Speaker:

you know, getting to know each other and supporting each other's businesses as

Speaker:

we go along here. So, Lorna, thank

Speaker:

you. This has been amazing. And I truly hope, and, you

Speaker:

know, to our listeners, that this has inspired you

Speaker:

today. Look, entrepreneurship is not always the

Speaker:

easiest path. In fact, it's not in a lot of ways. But

Speaker:

it is a very fulfilling, path. And

Speaker:

you started your business for a reason. You have a

Speaker:

big mission. You have a big vision, for

Speaker:

the work that you do, but also for your life, your

Speaker:

relationships, and the ripple effect that the work that you do is

Speaker:

gonna have on humanity. And, most people

Speaker:

that we work with wanna see a positive impact,

Speaker:

and that impact is possible. There are moments

Speaker:

where it might not seem possible, and in those moments, we want you to

Speaker:

reach out. Lorna is a great person to reach out to

Speaker:

because she specializes in helping you figure out what's

Speaker:

next, getting unstuck, and really realizing

Speaker:

that vision. You probably don't have to start the new business. There might be just

Speaker:

something new that you have to do or, like

Speaker:

like we said, do things in a different order. And suddenly,

Speaker:

opportunities that you, didn't realize were there. They are

Speaker:

there, but you're not seeing them right now. And so

Speaker:

how can you start to see those? So, I want you to take an

Speaker:

action today. Hopefully, we've inspired you. Take a step. Maybe

Speaker:

something that you, been meaning to do or you've been afraid to

Speaker:

do, go and do that thing today. And if you're not sure what it what

Speaker:

your next step is, reach out to Lorna. She will help you to figure out

Speaker:

what that next step is. So, Lorna, thank you so much.

Speaker:

Any final piece of advice or words of wisdom for our audience as

Speaker:

we sign off? Well, what

Speaker:

came up is, be in the silence. Be in the silence.

Speaker:

Sometimes you gotta take a step back and,

Speaker:

be still, and something will come up

Speaker:

that you get to recognize, see for yourself, and the

Speaker:

action to take. That could be it could be as simple as that.

Speaker:

Yeah. And it has been that for me sometimes as well. I love that.

Speaker:

You know, there, there is wisdom in the silence

Speaker:

for sure. Thank you, Lorna. This has been amazing.

Speaker:

And to our audience, thank you as well. Go out there.

Speaker:

Keep moving forward in your big vision, your mission, and

Speaker:

the life that you wanna create for yourself. And, then come back and

Speaker:

Speaker:
