Chuck Anderson,
Hello everybody and welcome back to the show.
2
:This is the Collaborators Unite podcast.
3
:Chuck Anderson here, your host, and this is the show for who we call Big Impact Experts.
4
:And that's you if you are on a mission to make a big positive impact in the lives of your
clients, maybe others, could also be your community, the world, and you're just really
5
:making a big positive difference out there with the work that you do.
6
:And of course that is an awesome mission.
7
:I'm one of those as well.
8
:can really relate to and from time to time, we have challenges, we have roadblocks, we
have things that get in the way.
9
:Sometimes we even feel like our growth is a little bit restricted.
10
:uh Maybe we become fearful of certain things and we start looking for, what are the
answers?
11
:What are the things that we can do to break through from that?
12
:and get onto the bigger impact that we know in our hearts we are destined to make.
13
:And today's guest can really help you with that.
14
:And she has some really exciting things coming up as well that we will share.
15
:I'm not gonna ruin it right now, it's a surprise.
16
:But I have Asara Lovejoy here with me today.
17
:And I've had the privilege of having a few conversations with her now.
18
:And let me tell you, the work that Asara does is amazing.
19
:And you wanna...
20
:lean in, you wanna take notes, and most of all, take action on the things that you learn
here today.
21
:Asara, welcome to the show.
22
:thank you so much, Chuck.
23
:I mean, I just appreciate you.
24
:You know, have this warmth, you have this beautiful smile, and it's always uplifting just
to have a conversation with you.
25
:So thank you for inviting me to the show.
26
:I look forward to this conversation.
27
:I really appreciate that.
28
:And, uh, you know, it's my mission to make a big impact.
29
:And if it was only as easy as just smiling at people to fill the bank account, I mean,
there would be a lot less work to do.
30
:But as a sharing with you earlier, uh, there's never a dull moment.
31
:So, so I look forward to the things I have to do, uh, to do that.
32
:But I, I appreciate that.
33
:I think a great place, uh, to start Asara is let's let everyone know a little bit about
you and you know, how it came to be that you're doing the work now.
34
:You've got a great track record and a great history in how you've done this work.
35
:So I'll let you tell your story.
36
:Okay, know, really my story is everybody's story because everybody has the story from
there to here.
37
:So where were we back then and where are we here now?
38
:And my message is always, you have so much more power, knowledge, information and ability
than you think you do.
39
:And so my journey has been about revealing that message.
40
:I mean, starting back at 13, I wanted to know how the mind worked.
41
:And I tried to hypnotize a girlfriend and I put her under and she didn't wake up.
42
:Well, she slept and then woke up an hour and a half later.
43
:Well, that sort of scared me.
44
:But that's been my passion is like, how is we as human beings.
45
:uh create reality.
46
:How do our minds work?
47
:How do we work when we talk about body-mind connection?
48
:People mostly just forget the body and they just talk about the mind.
49
:But we really have these innate brain waves that we can tap into that can make amazing
shifts when you're facing a choice.
50
:We were talking earlier about uh
51
:Fortune 500 company that was owned, privately owned that I was coaching the owner with and
she had inherited the business from her father and then there was a toxic board and they
52
:wanted to do a takeover.
53
:So we talked about the fears that she was experiencing.
54
:And this is common when you're in high level performance that you want to accomplish
something but there's an underlying nagging.
55
:within you that may be fearful that you can't do it.
56
:And so the overcome that...
57
:or I don't even say to overcome it, to dissipate that, to make that go away, I work with
the theta brainwave to shift the consciousness from logical thinking into a higher
58
:frequency brainwave where we find answers that we could have never thought of with our
mind.
59
:Now, I'm just gonna jump into this because they actually did research on Einstein's brain.
60
:And what they found was,
61
:He had right left brain connectors and a massive amount.
62
:So most of us have to develop that skill.
63
:Most of us have linear left brain thinking and you can never...
64
:outperform your thinking when you are thinking logically.
65
:And logic isn't designed to be creative.
66
:Logic is designed to solve the issues one, two, three, four, five, six, to contrast,
compare.
67
:But there's another part of our consciousness that is actually the giant consciousness,
the collaborative consciousness, the consciousness that can create a solve a problem of
68
:any kind.
69
:Because everything that's
70
:ever been accomplished has been from a thought first.
71
:It's been from maybe stumbling on an experience and then saying, well, what does that
mean?
72
:What can I do?
73
:So when we get into these situations where we want to be in the world in a big way, where
we want to make a big impact, what I found from the clients that I've coached is that
74
:there's like three things that they essentially face.
75
:Have you gotten past the point of proving yourself?
76
:Have you gotten past the point of pleasing others?
77
:And have you gotten past the point of thinking that it's dangerous to be that giant, to be
that successful, to be that big in your work?
78
:Wow.
79
:And so.
80
:it back at you now.
81
:Yeah, no, and it's it's flooding back so many memories of when I was just first starting
out and I felt this, I felt this big.
82
:And, and, in fact, making a big impact wasn't even, you know, in my vocabulary, it wasn't
even in my dreams, I just wanted to make a living.
83
:And, you know, it evolved into impact.
84
:And how do we positively affect people that came later?
85
:And I think I had to grow into it.
86
:And then it became aspirational, well, I'm here in my business and I would like to be
here.
87
:And at first we measured it in dollars, then now we measure it in impact.
88
:We know the dollars comes from making the impact.
89
:But uh there was always a tactic.
90
:We're always looking for the strategy.
91
:What is it?
92
:that we can do to do that.
93
:And I think so many of the people that I talk to in our community, they're always looking
for like, what can I do?
94
:What is the tactic?
95
:What is the strategy?
96
:But I think what we're talking about is we need to kind of take a step back because
there's other factors at play here.
97
:what are you hearing from people that you work with in terms of some of the struggles that
they are experiencing?
98
:energetically uh being a leader and wanting to make an impact in the world is challenging
in just the way that you said that your brain and your body have to grow into that
99
:positioning.
100
:That when you're challenged and
101
:feeling like maybe you're opposed, say that you work in a big corporation and people are
not listening to your ideas.
102
:Or if you're a solopreneur or you own your own business and you want to grow or you want
to expand or you want to adjust, then how do you solve the problem?
103
:Right now, for example, I'm coaching with an IT company and they're like...
104
:so fearful of AI, my God, we'll be obsolete.
105
:I said, no, this is an opportunity for you to be a leader in designing just the solutions
that people are looking for.
106
:So that's kind of the example I wanna give is that when you're faced with a challenge that
seems overwhelming and it...
107
:de-energizes you, where you hold back, you're fearful, you don't think it's possible, and
everybody has those doubts.
108
:Everybody has those doubts.
109
:And you then try, as you said, to manipulate the outside world.
110
:Well, what would be a better sled?
111
:Well, what would be a better car?
112
:Well, what would be a better way to promote my product or service?
113
:Until you adjust and make a difference in your own inner psyche, in your own inner belief
system, you're not going to find the right answer outside of yourself.
114
:When you've adjusted internally to, can do this, this is possible.
115
:What if it were just as true that I could collaborate and I could get people on my team
and we could do it together?
116
:And how can I go about doing that?
117
:How can I go about getting and adjusting my own internal psyche, psychology, belief
system, resistance?
118
:How can I shift those first?
119
:And I talk about quantum world quite a bit.
120
:So in the quantum world, when you make a shift internally within you, you shift the world
outside of you.
121
:and it's a raised vibration, it's a new frequency.
122
:So I'm just going to use this example.
123
:Let's just say that there's this hallway with all these doors and you can make a choice of
any door that you want to go into.
124
:So when you're growing your business or when you're a leader and when you're jumping out
there in the world in a bigger way and you go to the same door that you walk down the
125
:hallway and you open the door and it's out.
126
:and you just keep circling.
127
:You go down and open that door that's stout.
128
:That's not gonna serve you.
129
:So when you walk down that hallway and you...
130
:say I'm open to the possibility of a solution.
131
:I actually have a technique where we go through into the theta brainwave and make these
changes at a deep level of the unconscious and biology and neurology.
132
:But let's just use the doorway example.
133
:So you say, let's go down three doors and in that door you open it and it says, this can
be done.
134
:I don't have the solution yet, but you walk into this can be done.
135
:So that's your first step is that it can be done.
136
:What if it were just as true that you can make this change, that you can collaborate, that
you can get cooperation, that you can find a solution.
137
:And once you've made that mental shift, you'd be surprised at what floods in.
138
:in terms of opportunities, information, knowledge.
139
:Everything that I've created in my success as a teacher around the world and as an author
has all come about this process.
140
:Just an example, when I first launched my first book, The One Command.
141
:People said, sorry, you can't get a literary agent.
142
:It's impossible.
143
:This is your first book.
144
:Nobody knows about you that well.
145
:And I said, okay, well, that's your reality.
146
:That's not my reality.
147
:My reality is that I'm gonna get a great agent.
148
:And so knowing that and then working with it in my theta mind to shift my inner self to
accept that that is truth in me.
149
:Get the phone call from an old friend, have a conversation, tell her what I'm up to.
150
:Hey, I know an agent, right?
151
:And he's still my literary agent today.
152
:So it happens that way outside of a planned experience.
153
:So it's allowing yourself to have the options to let the uh unexpected arrive.
154
:Makes sense?
155
:it does.
156
:Well, it makes sense to me because I've done a lot of work with that kind of, uh, with
that kind of energy.
157
:And I came to a point in my journey where I realized that it wasn't the strategy.
158
:It wasn't the tactic.
159
:It wasn't the thing I needed to do, but I needed to change who I was inside in turn and
the thinking.
160
:And one of the things that stood out to me that you just said was the belief that it's
possible.
161
:And I remember attending a seminar, this would have been sometime in the early 2000s.
162
:And I remember one of my, I can't remember most of it, but I do remember this phrase.
163
:I remember writing this down on a big piece of paper and putting it up on my wall.
164
:And that is the question, what is possible?
165
:And then starting to use that with my clients.
166
:And it was interesting when I phrased it as a question, what is possible?
167
:there was some very interesting answers that were coming back, both in my thoughts, uh
things I was noticing, conversations, and even my journaling.
168
:Because I was a big, uh just big into journal, I would write three pages every day in my
journal and just some of the ideas that would come out.
169
:I'm like, well, where'd that come from?
170
:Even in my conversations with clients, I would say things to them that I needed to hear
myself.
171
:But it was this belief of,
172
:that it is possible and also what more is possible and that belief in it.
173
:And so that was a big shift for me.
174
:Yeah.
175
:Yeah, I mean, it's essential.
176
:It's absolutely...
177
:The people that, know, Steve Jobs, all the geniuses out there didn't worry about whether
they could.
178
:They just kept taking action to implement what they knew.
179
:they were going to do.
180
:mean, right now, my daughter's working for a nuclear fusion company.
181
:And she just reported, oh my God, they're so excited.
182
:They just went to 150,000 degrees.
183
:And it's like, oh my God, you know, with the chemicals and these chemicals are being
manmade in Canada.
184
:And so they're essential for fusion energy.
185
:And they've been, you know, they just made the decision it's going to be done.
186
:it's going to be done.
187
:Microsoft set up a, cause we're up here in Seattle.
188
:So Microsoft might contract with them to deliver in 2028.
189
:So uh they know they're going to have Fusion Energy running by 2028.
190
:And of course you have to do all of the mechanics.
191
:You have to do the backend.
192
:One of the things I love about your organization, Chuck, is that you have a system in
place that is excellent.
193
:So, you know, first is the belief that you can.
194
:collaborate with friends, collaborate with coworkers, collaborate with thinkers, with
people that are uh in your field or out of your field, and get that input to open your
195
:possibility so that when you walk down that hallway, any door can open, any door can open.
196
:You don't know which door can open.
197
:And then you start to set the systems.
198
:That's when you set up the technique, when you do the implementation, when you have the
design for the great product, when you come up with a marketing strategy that you know
199
:resonates with your values, with your beliefs, with your intention of how you want to be
in the world and as an example of how you want to be in the world.
200
:So that's important part of this is that how
201
:that what you are is in the quantum field, what you are is influencing what others are.
202
:Because in the quantum field, there's no separation between any of us.
203
:We're already connected.
204
:m
205
:we're just an expression, a certain expression.
206
:But every time we have an expression, that expression influences the total field.
207
:And people don't realize that.
208
:I mean, my favorite saying I say is, don't worry about changing the other guy.
209
:Change yourself and everything else changes.
210
:And the other guy changes too.
211
:It's weird how that works, but it does.
212
:So know that you're making an influence.
213
:And some people say, but Asara, you're saying that every thought I'm thinking is
influencing the world.
214
:I said, well, it's already true.
215
:That is true.
216
:So do you wanna look at what you're thinking and maybe upgrade it a little bit and maybe
challenge yourself a little bit so that you can ask those questions like you said that
217
:started working?
218
:And then.
219
:know that you have this power within you to do it.
220
:I mean, we're biologically designed with more than logical thinking.
221
:Why would we be biologically made this way if it wasn't uh an asset, if it wasn't
something that could be put to use for us?
222
:Back over to you.
223
:Uh, yeah.
224
:And there well, so many great things in there.
225
:Um, but one of the things that, uh, one of the thoughts that came to me and because I
don't want to ask you this because it comes up in conversations I have with clients all
226
:the time and we're helping them make their bigger impact, influence others and how they
measure it is in dollars in their bank account.
227
:And they, they'll never, they don't always admit it.
228
:but it's like there's making an impact and influencing others unconditionally.
229
:And when I started to do that, the dollar started to increase.
230
:But there's, especially if you're at that aspirational level, it's like, but how am gonna
make money doing this?
231
:And am I making enough money doing this?
232
:uh Or I've been doing this for a while and I haven't, so therefore I'm gonna go do
something else.
233
:And so.
234
:What do say to that?
235
:Because it comes up a lot.
236
:know absolutely it does.
237
:I mean, my book is, my upcoming book is focused on um quantum wealth.
238
:It's focused on how do you create wealth?
239
:So the fear that there isn't enough or that you won't get your share.
240
:Those are the two fears.
241
:Or I don't know how to do it so I can't have it, or I'm not smart enough, or I didn't get
enough education, or...
242
:It's for other people, but it's not for me.
243
:And do I deserve it?
244
:And am I worthy?
245
:Those are all the unconscious emotional issues that drive fear over finances, that drive
fear over whether the money is going to show up.
246
:And as you said, when you started allowing and expanding, the money showed up because you
stuck to what your contribution is.
247
:So instead of what I can get, what can I give?
248
:And so if you have something that you have a commitment to a contribution, one of the
things I've shared many, many times, you know, even with high level company CEOs, is I
249
:say, it's our responsibility if we have a vision to let people know who we are.
250
:to let the brand know who we are, to let the company know who we are, to let the business
know, to let them know.
251
:the value that we have in an exchange.
252
:And so when you're focusing on giving value, when you're focusing on being honest and
aligned with your vision, God, I remember the days like what you were talking about way
253
:back when, when I was like, you know, running after every new idea.
254
:Oh, well, maybe this one will do it for me.
255
:well, maybe that one will do it for me.
256
:And, you know, it was so...
257
:confusing because you would, you know, and stay six months with one system.
258
:No, didn't get here quick enough, then I would change and go to another system.
259
:So, slow down, get centered, see what your value is, see what you can contribute rather
than what you can get.
260
:And once you start...
261
:operating your business and your solo entrepreneurship or any kind of coaching or service
that you have or product that you have.
262
:And it's your responsibility to let people know of its value.
263
:And so that's my responsibility.
264
:It's always been to let people know that they can have a relationship with me and it will
be a value to them when they do.
265
:It makes sense to you?
266
:It does.
267
:uh there was different phases of that journey for me.
268
:First, intellectually hearing it and reading the books and attending the seminars and
doing all the things.
269
:And then allowing the space for that to sort of incubate within me where I had to become
who I needed to become in order to make the impact I wanted to make.
270
:so, but, you know, at the beginning it was like,
271
:my engineering brain was still going, but what are the steps?
272
:What is the standard operating procedure here?
273
:I know, love really stubborn people.
274
:Most people say, I don't wanna work with them, they're so stubborn.
275
:I say, my God, are you kidding?
276
:Listen, a stubborn person, when they make a shift, is gonna be stubborn in the shift.
277
:They're gonna make that shift work so powerfully.
278
:And yeah, it might take a little bit longer to uh make the biological changes.
279
:And Joe Dispenza, Dr.
280
:Joe Dispenza, Dr.
281
:Bruce Lipton, they've done so much.
282
:research and present research and I've been teaching this for 25, 30 years before any
science backed up anything I had to say.
283
:I can say I can prove it because I see people change and I see the results they get when
they make that change.
284
:And you know, let's go back to collaboration because that is one of the...
285
:um
286
:change pieces that we're facing right now is that, you know, wild west individualism, I'm
going to do it on my own attitude has shifted so much from all of social media and all of
287
:the communications we make.
288
:But energetically, it's how you trust others.
289
:How willing are you to hear a point of view that doesn't agree with you and yet still get
value out of it?
290
:And also get value out of people that have different points of view.
291
:There's all this political radicalness and opposition and the people that are uh in an
oppositional position philosophically.
292
:I have seen do generous, absolutely wonderful work for people behind the scenes.
293
:So it's like, let's go deeper.
294
:Let's overcome our fears of letting others influence us consciously.
295
:because we're unconsciously being influenced all the time anyway with all of the mechanics
of the outside world and the news.
296
:And all of that is influencing our DNA.
297
:It's influencing the way we feel.
298
:It's influencing fear, great amounts of fear.
299
:So withdraw from that.
300
:Just withdraw from that and come back into yourself.
301
:One of the things I always say is that since we were born,
302
:we have an essential self.
303
:And that essential self is who is evolving and who is revealing themselves.
304
:So even though we might dash and dart, ultimately who we are.
305
:is the result of that essential self.
306
:And as we mature, as you said, more experience, more training, more dedication to growth
in yourself, you discover that, hey, I like this essential self.
307
:Yeah, we can do this.
308
:Yeah, we can make an impact in the world.
309
:And we can collaborate with other people and together we can make a greater impact.
310
:All of that feels amazing and I know my audience will resonate with that as well, because
all the conversations that we've had and all the surveys that we've had, this is what they
311
:crave the most.
312
:And before we run out of time, I wanna make sure that we cover a couple of things.
313
:One, I'd love to hear about the book that's coming up.
314
:And depending on when you're listening to this episode, the book is about to launch.
315
:but when you listen to this, it may be actually fully launched.
316
:So make sure you check the links right beneath this video about that.
317
:So tell everybody about the book and then we'll guide them to your website.
318
:Cause I think you have some free resources there for them as well.
319
:I do, I do.
320
:Yeah, the title of the book is Source, Mind, and Quantum Wealth.
321
:So Source, Mind is going into these deeper theta states that we impress our subconscious
mind just instantaneously.
322
:Biologically, when we're in theta at night and sleeping, that's when we reorganize the
experiences we've had during the day and when we accept new creative ideas.
323
:So when we consciously go into theta while awake, sleeping while
324
:awake.
325
:uh
326
:We're physically shifting neurologically.
327
:I mean, it's a physical event.
328
:Going into theta is a physical event that shifts the brain.
329
:So we delink those fears that we talked about earlier.
330
:And then we create new neurotransmitters and we new synaptic connections.
331
:And so that's how we reprogram ourselves is by reprogramming our physical body to
understand something new.
332
:Now the traditional method is to rehearse
333
:practice, rehearse, practice, rehearse, practice, lots and lots of loss affirmations.
334
:Well, when you're in the theta brainwave, you only do it once and it's done.
335
:And then you do the next thing.
336
:So like, I don't know how I increase my income.
337
:I only know I increase my revenue next month.
338
:I only know I do now.
339
:So I don't have this mechanics in place, but I'm making a belief in me that is possible.
340
:Then.
341
:The next belief, well, well that was silly.
342
:How can I say that?
343
:That's not gonna work.
344
:So then the next command is, I absolutely accept what I'm telling myself.
345
:I only know I do now and I'm fulfilled.
346
:And so then that's in the brain.
347
:So now the brain is saying, okay, I'm gonna believe that.
348
:Now you think this might be magic or it might seem woo woo, but it's not, it's biology.
349
:And it's provable biology that we can change that quickly.
350
:And in my book, SourceMind, I talk about the
351
:accessing to these states and then quantum wealth.
352
:I talk about how these changes can take place within us.
353
:One chapter is on the 10 levels of wealth.
354
:Go check out where you are in the 10 levels of wealth.
355
:I really like that one.
356
:But I combine neuroscience and quantum field energy with super positioning, uh coherence,
uh observation changes reality.
357
:And in the book I say, look, I'm not a quantum scientist at all.
358
:I'm just a lay person that's done massive amounts of reading and have incorporated it in
my techniques over the years and I see the results.
359
:Amazing.
360
:Well, if that sounds amazing to you, I want you to look at the links just beneath this
video.
361
:And we have there are webinars coming up that will explain the book.
362
:The book is in pre-launch right now.
363
:But depending on when you listen to this, it could be actually launched already.
364
:So the links are all there.
365
:If you're listening to this on podcast, just go ahead and look in the podcast player that
you.
366
:are in and if you wanna be notified of when uh all of these events are happening, the best
thing to do is get onto Asara's list so that you can receive emails from Asara and Asara I
367
:know that you have freebies on your website that resources that will help them not only
learn more about what you're talking about but also allow that opportunity to get on your
368
:email list so that they can be notified of these resources.
369
:Yeah, so it's A-S-A-R-A-S-A-R-A.com and...
370
:em
371
:There's a seven day uh free experience of what I was talking about with going into the
Theta Brainwave.
372
:And so you get guided through it and can see what happens when you sign up for the free
course.
373
:And as Chuck said, then we have newsletter.
374
:We also have a positively transformational podcast.
375
:So we have lots of things going on and we'd love to have you come join us and start
collaborating with us of what you want to do and see.
376
:how we can help you get there.
377
:Yes, and I want to help you get there as well.
378
:again, all of the links that Asara just mentioned, even though it's really easy to spell
and I'm jealous of your domain name, it's very, very good.
379
:But all of Asara's links are right there on the video and in the podcast show notes.
380
:Asara, thank you.
381
:You are amazing.
382
:I love spending time with you.
383
:And I cannot wait for your webinars and your book launch.
384
:It is going to be such an exciting time.
385
:And just as we sign off, I'm wondering if you have any final piece of advice or words of
wisdom for our audience.
386
:um Be at peace with yourself exactly where you are.
387
:Don't judge yourself about what you missed out on or what you should have done.
388
:Just let it go.
389
:And be at peace with where you are and say, this is the moment.
390
:I'm right here with all my experiences and what do I wanna do now?
391
:So release that stress of judging yourself in any way, shape or form.
392
:You are you.
393
:And that is the best version of you in the world that we have right now.
394
:If you want to make that evolve, good.
395
:If you want to stay the same, good.
396
:You're perfect exactly as you are.
397
:You're perfect exactly as you are.
398
:Beautiful words to end this episode by.
399
:Asara, thank you.
400
:You are amazing.
401
:I really appreciate everything you've shared here today.
402
:And to our audience, you are amazing as well.
403
:Why?
404
:Because you resonate and identify as a big impact expert.
405
:You're someone who wants to make a big positive impact in the lives of others.
406
:And maybe that spirals out to the community and maybe even the rest of the world.
407
:depending on what your vision is.
408
:And I just want to remind you that, uh you know, there's no obstacle too big to be
overcome.
409
:And you might just be one collaboration away from the big breakthrough that you need that
will help you to make that big impact.
410
:And perhaps Asara is that person to collaborate with because she's going to help you to
identify ideas that aren't, that you're not aware of right now and, but are all around
411
:you.
412
:And just, and also that
413
:The only way to fail is to quit, so keep moving forward, and we will see you on the next
one.
414
:Thank you.
415
:Thank you.
416
:Bye.
