“Your brain's always going to want to keep you in that comfort zone. So it's just a practice of choosing to step outside of that comfort zone and deliberately making that choice, moving through that little awkward phase of your brain, telling you don't do that. And then seeing that nothing crazy actually happen. Nothing bad actually happened.”

“But I really, really feel like if people feel weird selling right now because of the corona virus, because people are suddenly losing their jobs and you know, in a country like America are, quote, going to be poor, we'll go around the globe. There's billions of people, you know, who don't know where their next meal is coming from before Corona virus. It's always been there. There's always been tragedy. There's always been heartbreak. There's those things just can't keep you from selling because to put money into the economy, to encourage others to do that, to to spread your light, to encourage others to do the same. That's all positive stuff. And you can't you really just can't let other people's situations hold you back from shining your light. And because a lot of people that really will hold them back.”

“I think that really starts with going back to why I'm going to your purpose. And you don't have to be selling something life altering in order to have a meaningful purpose behind it. You could be selling jewelry or clothes or makeup and you have a purpose why you do that thing. It brings somebody joy. Right. People need those things. People want those things. People are looking for those things that make people more confident, whatever. So you really need to get dig deep. And I always recommend doing it with a journal and journaling on what is my purpose for selling this thing. What is the outcome that people get when they purchase this from me? How do I make them feel? You know, what are the feelings that they get to have? Because I'm selling this thing. Why is it important? Essentially, because once you can get down into it, why is it important to be selling this thing? Then there's not feeling bad about it, right? You're not forcing anyone. Most people listening probably aren't forcing anyone to buy something. Right. You're really not tricking anyone into some weird contract, I hope, or anything like that.”

“Because when you have a bigger purpose behind it, nothing else really matters.”

“I think imposter syndrome is so interesting. One thing that really helped me and continues to help me is, you know, people like you and people like, you know, anyone. Anyone who's a famous author or a famous actress or anybody. They still tell the stories and they still feel those ways, too. Right. So I think like hearing those stories is really helpful, reminding yourself that this is something everyone feels. It's just human nature. I mean, again, that's just some brain giving you reasons to stop doing the uncomfortable thing and to stay in the area of safety and that safety net. So just remembering that it's something everyone faces.”

“I really am a recovering workaholic, like so much in the Hustle Road and like you award like a badge of honor. Right. But I think that also can really play into imposter syndrome because like deep down, I feel like it wasn't the first one in the office and the loss of leave. Was I good enough? Right. That was like what made me feel enough in that didn't need to be there. To be enough.”
[00:58:17] - [00:58:59]
“Yeah, I think it's a it's a very good opportunity that we have right now to practice being in the moment, being in the moment and looking for the things we seek for granted. Like, again, people write like little things like, you know, just to just think about, well, the things I've been taking for granted and to think about, you know, just gratitude differently. I feel like that's part of what's helped me create a positive shift is just sinking into that. And like you said, like I've been doing face some happy hours with my group of roommates from college that I haven't seen. I see them just for like weddings because they don't live around here. But we never used to do that. Right. We could have done that before. But now all of a sudden, we have a reason. Do it or something.”

“I mean, I really would just tell them you are so, so, so much more fucking capable than you realize. And the minute that you own that and you believe that and you can make yourself believe that that is the minute that it's all going to start working for you.”
