WEBVTT
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.131
You've listened to the podcast from the self-help gurus Not this one.
00:00:04.131 --> 00:00:09.279
You've been down the rabbit hole of personal development videos on YouTube.
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:27.371
You browsed and bought and binged the books on the shelves in the bookshops that tell you all the things you need to do to live the life you want, and sure they light you up for a while, but you don't end up taking any action.
00:00:27.371 --> 00:00:37.283
You're listening to the Triple C Project.
00:00:37.283 --> 00:00:45.188
Welcome to the Triple C Project, the podcast that helps you gain clarity, boost confidence, build courage so you can live life lit.
00:00:45.188 --> 00:00:55.052
I'm your host, ryan Spence, the Big Law Dropout, life coach, author, speaker, lover of hoodies, hip-hop and big, hairy, audacious goals.
00:00:55.052 --> 00:01:06.158
If you're tired of living the life you think you should want and ready to start living the life you do want, this podcast will help you get from where you are to where you really want to be.
00:01:06.158 --> 00:01:12.540
So now we're friends.
00:01:12.540 --> 00:01:16.326
I invite you to grab a drink, take a seat and allow me to guide you towards living a life that's lit.
00:01:16.326 --> 00:01:20.875
Hey, hey, welcome to episode 109 of the Triple C Project.
00:01:20.875 --> 00:01:22.765
Exciting times here.
00:01:23.126 --> 00:01:36.644
I've just received as I'm recording this for a few hours before I've just received the first edit the manuscript for my second book, which is exciting and also a little bit scary.
00:01:36.644 --> 00:01:42.582
So I'm going to be diving into that over the next few days, no doubt making some changes.
00:01:42.582 --> 00:01:44.748
I hate looking back on work that I've done.
00:01:44.748 --> 00:01:46.981
I very much like to look forward Um.
00:01:46.981 --> 00:01:51.271
So going back over something and you think, why did I say that?
00:01:51.271 --> 00:01:52.112
Why did I write that?
00:01:52.112 --> 00:01:56.549
Um is a kind of not what I like to do, but it's necessary.
00:01:56.549 --> 00:01:58.332
So that's what I'll be doing.
00:01:58.332 --> 00:01:58.920
But what's what?
00:01:58.920 --> 00:01:59.521
It's exciting?
00:01:59.521 --> 00:02:14.681
Because it's a step closer to, uh, the book being finished and to unleashing it into the world, which I'm very excited to do because, regardless of my own thoughts, we're always our own worst critics.
00:02:14.681 --> 00:02:29.227
I know just from the tiny sample of people that have read it how powerful it's going to be and I know just from the experiences that I share and reliving those experiences I went through as I wrote the book.
00:02:29.227 --> 00:02:40.828
I know how powerful those experiences were for me and how they have shaped the journey that I've been on and allowed me to break out of the box that I felt that I was trapped in all those years in big law.
00:02:40.828 --> 00:02:44.483
So I'm very excited, and I hope you are too.
00:02:44.483 --> 00:02:49.545
I'm not sure I've shared the title yet, but the title of the book is the Triple C Project.
00:02:49.545 --> 00:02:56.287
After the podcast find your place, purpose and peace in a world that wants to box you in.
00:02:56.287 --> 00:03:08.688
So, coming late 2024, haven't decided on a date yet, got some other things to work out There'll be a workbook to go along with the book, just as there was with my first book, the Triple C Method.
00:03:08.688 --> 00:03:11.481
So, yeah, very excited.
00:03:11.481 --> 00:03:19.745
So if you haven't read the first book, the Triple C Method, now's the time to go out and get your copy and read it.
00:03:19.745 --> 00:03:32.003
Get started on your journey towards living a life that's lit, because this second book very much follows on from that and builds on the work and the tools and the strategies that I share in the triple C method.
00:03:32.003 --> 00:03:42.032
So head to imrinespencecom, slash books or wherever you get your books from, preferably a nice independent bookshop, if you can support your local business.
00:03:42.032 --> 00:03:51.161
Support your local business.
00:03:51.181 --> 00:03:58.903
This week's episode I'm talking about the question that I ask clients a lot and it's the question that I share in the Triple C Method, because it's one of the first steps towards gaining clarity.
00:03:58.903 --> 00:04:02.588
And that question is what do you want?
00:04:02.588 --> 00:04:06.274
What do you want in your life?
00:04:06.274 --> 00:04:09.525
What do you want your life to look like what do you want to achieve?
00:04:09.525 --> 00:04:11.569
What goals are you going after?
00:04:11.569 --> 00:04:12.712
What dreams do you have?
00:04:12.712 --> 00:04:24.687
And the common answer to that question, when I ask it at the start of a coaching process, is but Ryan, I just don't know what I want.
00:04:24.687 --> 00:04:28.846
And that's generally the vibe that clients give me.
00:04:28.846 --> 00:04:33.161
When I ask them this question and I ask them again, then they say the same thing again.
00:04:33.161 --> 00:04:38.721
Then you see their brow furrow and you see them go silent for a while as they kind of wrestle with the answer.
00:04:38.721 --> 00:04:52.036
And I like to let them sit with the question because deep down I know that even if they think they don't know what they want, there's a little something inside them that does.
00:04:52.036 --> 00:04:57.331
And there's kind of two things that are potentially happening.
00:04:57.331 --> 00:05:04.574
They either know the thing or the things that light them up, the dreams that they have, the goals they want to achieve.
00:05:04.574 --> 00:05:06.742
That's what they really want.
00:05:06.742 --> 00:05:20.805
But they're too scared to admit, too embarrassed or too limited in their beliefs to admit to themselves that they want that, because they've told themselves the story that it's not realistic.
00:05:20.805 --> 00:05:22.490
It's not something that's possible for them.
00:05:22.490 --> 00:05:26.983
Realistic, it's not something that's possible for them.
00:05:26.983 --> 00:05:42.692
The other thing that's potentially happening is they feel they can feel something, they feel they want something, they feel something needs to shift, something needs to be different, but they just can't pinpoint exactly what that something is.
00:05:42.692 --> 00:05:50.322
So here's what happens Anyone that comes to me, generally it's about their job.
00:05:51.004 --> 00:05:52.569
It's the job that's the problem.
00:05:52.569 --> 00:05:59.732
That's the primary factor that's driving them towards booking a strategy session with me and to potentially working together.
00:05:59.732 --> 00:06:07.882
They're unhappy and they're unfulfilled and they're burnt out and they just don't want to live that way anymore.
00:06:07.882 --> 00:06:14.266
And getting out of this soul-sucking job is kind of what's going to help them with that.
00:06:14.266 --> 00:06:15.612
That's what's going to be the thing.
00:06:15.612 --> 00:06:19.124
That's what's the change that's needed, and they want help with that.
00:06:19.124 --> 00:06:22.271
They always come to me, sometimes like I'm a career coach.
00:06:22.271 --> 00:06:29.923
Come to me sometimes like I'm a career coach, which I'm not, but I can help you.
00:06:29.923 --> 00:06:30.786
But that's not the essence of what I do.
00:06:30.786 --> 00:06:32.949
It's deeper than that and I know that.
00:06:32.949 --> 00:06:48.103
But when they say their job is the issue and they complain about that and they illustrate all of the reasons why it's the problem, reasons that I can relate to, you know, and so I get it.
00:06:48.103 --> 00:06:56.345
And I get it because we spend so much time at work, especially, especially if you're in big law.
00:06:56.345 --> 00:06:58.391
Ain't that the truth?
00:07:00.601 --> 00:07:15.201
I did a bit of research before recording this episode and, according to research by the legal website LegalCheekcom, the average working hours at big law firm Kirkland Ellis is 12 hours 28 minutes per day.
00:07:15.201 --> 00:07:25.951
At Ropes Gray it's 12 hours 22 minutes per day, and the research showed that at several other top firms the average was 11 to 12 hours a day.
00:07:25.951 --> 00:07:33.125
You probably listen to this and thinking, yeah, that's nothing, I've done longer than that and you're right.
00:07:33.125 --> 00:07:34.687
But this is average, right?
00:07:34.687 --> 00:07:41.480
So if you even just take that average, is it any wonder that you feel exhausted?
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:47.156
Any wonder that you're feeling burnt out, that you're feeling drained?
00:07:47.156 --> 00:07:47.276
Right?
00:07:47.276 --> 00:08:05.836
So I get, when the job is the primary factor, the primary trigger for you wanting to make a change, for you thinking that if you just can change that, everything else will be great.
00:08:12.779 --> 00:08:16.987
What I know from my experience and what I know from my client's experience, is that the job is only a part of it.
00:08:16.987 --> 00:08:28.920
Despite the fact it encompasses such a large part of our life hours of every working day, almost half of the 24 hours we have in a day it's still only a part of the whole equation.
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:50.626
Because changing jobs without answering the question that I asked, without figuring out what it is that you want instead, not just in the job, but in life all that that's going to do is leave you feeling the same pain in a new environment.
00:08:50.626 --> 00:08:58.426
It's like when I went to teach yoga and I used to talk about this in the first iteration of this podcast, the Yoga Den podcast.
00:08:58.426 --> 00:09:08.846
There are many people in corporate I used to be one of them who have this dream of leaving corporate to go and teach yoga, for example, and feel that that's the change that they need.
00:09:10.448 --> 00:09:24.792
But if you don't do that in a work to figure out what you want your life to be, what it is that you really want, then you're going to take the same issues, the same problems, the same feelings with you into this new environment and nothing is going to change.
00:09:24.792 --> 00:09:28.224
So you've got to do that work.
00:09:28.224 --> 00:09:32.692
You can't avoid that question what do I want?
00:09:32.692 --> 00:09:39.868
You can't avoid that question.
00:09:39.868 --> 00:09:40.932
What do I want Now, what people want?
00:09:40.932 --> 00:09:48.519
The number one thing that people want is bigger than just wanting a new job.
00:09:48.519 --> 00:10:04.993
And if I had to distill it down into a single word, the one thing that my clients want and in my experience, the one thing that everyone wants is more.
00:10:04.993 --> 00:10:06.956
That's that four letter word more.
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:14.253
You see, the reason you feel unsatisfied at work is because you want more.
00:10:14.253 --> 00:10:20.533
The reason you feel flat and lethargic is because you want more.
00:10:20.533 --> 00:10:31.154
The reason you feel stuck in a rut, like you're going through the motions, living every day like Groundhog Day, is because you want more.
00:10:31.154 --> 00:10:34.966
You want to feel more aliveness.
00:10:34.966 --> 00:10:39.363
You want to feel more passion and connection in your relationships.
00:10:39.363 --> 00:10:46.640
You want to feel more happiness, have more high lit moments in your daily life.
00:10:46.640 --> 00:10:55.235
You want more money so you can create more freedom to do more of the things that you love, and you want more energy.
00:10:55.235 --> 00:11:01.826
You want to create more time to do the things that you want to do, and you want more meaning.
00:11:01.826 --> 00:11:03.831
Am I right?
00:11:03.831 --> 00:11:06.364
Come on, do you feel me?
00:11:06.364 --> 00:11:21.575
I know you do, but what stops you getting more, having more, having more, being more, is you don't believe that more is possible for you.
00:11:23.500 --> 00:11:42.345
And even if you did the work to build your confidence to a level where you had that belief that more was possible, where you had that belief that more was possible, you've no idea where to start so that you can get it.
00:11:42.345 --> 00:11:46.432
You've listened to the podcast from the self-help gurus, not this one.
00:11:46.432 --> 00:11:51.714
You've been down the rabbit hole of personal development videos on YouTube.
00:11:51.714 --> 00:12:06.950
You browsed and bought and binged the books on the shelves in the bookshops that tell you all the things you need to do to live the life you want, and sure they light you up for a while.
00:12:06.950 --> 00:12:20.889
They give you a ton of information and inspiration, but you don't end up taking any action Because you don't know where to begin.
00:12:22.900 --> 00:12:36.183
There's all these competing ideas and tools and strategies that you end up feeling more lost than you did when you first started lost than you did when you first started.
00:12:36.183 --> 00:12:56.562
It's kind of like sitting down at home and watching a travel show and getting inspired and excited about this place that you're going to visit, that you want to visit, and the show finishes and you walk out your house and you get in your car and you turn on the engine, but you end up just sitting in your driveway, a little bit confused, because you've no idea how to get there.
00:12:56.562 --> 00:13:04.774
You've no idea of the steps you need to take to reach your destination, you don't have a roadmap, you don't have a GPS.
00:13:04.774 --> 00:13:39.592
Now, I don't claim to have all of the answers by any stretch of the imagination, but what I do have is personal experience of feeling the way that you feel, of feeling stuck, feeling unhappy, feeling unfulfilled, of feeling like I'm going through the motions and feeling trapped and hemmed in and weighed down by the weight of my limiting beliefs.
00:13:39.592 --> 00:14:17.231
And what I also have is I have years of coaching clients that also feel that way and that have come through the other side to do amazing things, things which they never thought were possible for them when we started to work together, things which had never even crossed their mind, like starting a business, like getting a distinction and a master's degree, like moving across the world and finding love and getting married, like all of these things which are kind of there somewhere within them.
00:14:18.842 --> 00:14:39.097
But they got teased out and they figured out exactly where to start through the work that we did, and they achieved the things that they were always capable of achieving but just didn't believe that they could.
00:14:39.097 --> 00:15:15.735
So, with those experiences, what I'm going to do is I'm going to share six secrets to help you get started, six secrets that, if you implement them into your life daily, you'll begin to gain the clarity, confidence and courage that you need to get unstuck, to escape your mental cell of self-limitation and to get the more that you've been craving in life, that you knew you wanted but didn't quite know what it was or how to get it.
00:15:15.735 --> 00:15:24.808
