WEBVTT 00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:05.519 Hello and welcome to the Sharon Francisco show. 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:21.760 What if your secret source or your amazingness isn't your qualifications or even your experience or even the amount that you care and go above and beyond for your clients? 00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:29.039 What if it's the relationship you have with yourself that's actually the secret source? 00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:42.960 Because every day through tiny little choices, hundreds, maybe thousands of tiny little choices, you're either strengthening this relationship or you're weakening it. 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.439 So this is not believing that you are brilliant at everything. 00:00:50.880 --> 00:01:01.679 Now, before I go on, if you feel like you've got this nailed and you have the confidence and clarity to do anything you put your mind to in your business and your life, keep listening. 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:12.079 As I've got something that I'd like to share with you at the end that will hopefully challenge you to be able to go to that next level if you feel like you've got this nailed. 00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:13.519 So what is it? 00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:14.959 What are we believing? 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:27.760 If it is that we're believing, if we believe that we can learn a new skill, we can build on that skill, we can ask for help, we can survive being uncomfortable. 00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:32.400 If it all goes badly, I will not turn against myself. 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:42.560 If we have that, that belief, loving yourself unconditionally does not mean approving of everything that you do. 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:53.040 It means refusing to withdraw your love of yourself every time you screw up or you do something wrong or you say something weird or whatever that might be. 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.920 It's deciding that you won't beat yourself up quietly in the background. 00:01:58.079 --> 00:01:59.200 So, how do we do that? 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.359 How do we stack the odds in our favor? 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.560 There's a fundamental foundation that we need to work on. 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:13.360 Everything sends a message back to you about how much you matter or not. 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:18.719 So, the way that we treat ourselves, think about this the physical things that we might be doing. 00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:30.240 So, the food that you eat that supports and nourishes you, your nervous system, the way you behave and act, and all of those things, that food, the food that you decide to have. 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:36.479 Do you eat organic food or the best quality food that you can afford? 00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.599 What about the water or the water quality? 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.800 You know, I bang on about water quality all the time. 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.800 And it's so important because most of our body is made up of water. 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:53.039 We need to be nourishing our body with good quality water, at least two liters a day is so important. 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:54.879 Get yourself into a rhythm with that. 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.400 I know I've talked about this before, but get yourself a cute bottle. 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:07.439 I've got a cute blue bottle, blue glass bottle that I fill up twice every day, sometimes three days, depending on how much of a role I'm on. 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.759 What about these are the messages we're sending our body, right? 00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:14.000 This is this is the messages we're sending. 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:22.000 The sort of food that we eat is how much we value our body, the sort of water we're drinking, is your body knows how much you're valuing it. 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:26.319 The amount of movement that we have, we are meant to move. 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.000 Our bodies are meant to move. 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.639 We're meant to be getting that blood running through our body. 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.199 So moving at least three to four times a week. 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.240 And I mean moving, I mean getting your heart rate up. 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:37.680 It doesn't have to be running. 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:43.280 You don't have to be doing marathons and crazy things like that, even though I've done a few of those and a few halves. 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:52.479 You can just really put on that pace, walking up a hill, making sure your heart rate goes up and for at least 30 to 40 minutes when you do it. 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:59.840 Keeping promises is the other thing to yourself, like uh getting up and going to bed at the same time. 00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:07.759 If you say, look, I just need to get into a bit of a routine and not get caught on that Netflix and watch those movies until midnight or two o'clock in the morning. 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:11.599 If you say you're gonna go to bed at 9:30 at night, 9:30 at night. 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:18.720 And if you go to bed at 9:30 at night, if you say you're gonna get up at 7 o'clock or 6 o'clock or 5 o'clock in the morning, that's the time the alarm goes off. 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.920 And you don't keep repeatedly hitting the snooze. 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:29.680 You might have a deal with yourself where you say, I'm gonna get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, I'll let myself hit snooze once, and then I'll get up. 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:45.279 It's all these decisions we make about how we'll treat ourselves, how we'll treat ourselves around food, how we'll treat ourselves around water, uh, movement, and making promises to ourselves. 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:50.800 What about spending time with the people who are kind and uplifting and expanding for you? 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:57.920 The decisions that we make about the people that we spend the most time with, about the way you're speaking to yourself. 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:03.360 Think about what you say by yourself, sorry, to yourself when you're by

yourself. 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:04.879 What are you saying? 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:06.800 That's the most important thing. 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.560 The thing that you're saying to yourself when you're by yourself. 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:18.800 And if it's not uplifting and amazing and reminding yourself about how good you are instead of beating yourself up, your body remembers that. 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.480 And it comes out in ways that we don't want it to come out. 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.439 What about noticing yourself in the mirror? 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:40.079 And instead of immediately finding fault and thinking, oh, my nose is a bit crooked, or this is not looking that nice, or whatever we might think about ourselves, you know, my my thing that I say in front of a mirror, whenever, whenever I walk past a mirror, I'll say, You're beautiful. 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:51.680 You can trick yourself with this stuff, guys, and and remind yourself about how amazing you are, because you are, you are your most important relationship in your business is with you. 00:05:51.920 --> 00:06:04.639 And if we're reminding ourselves through the way that we eat and drink and not move and say stuff to ourselves that's not uplifting, we're affirming to our own selves that we're not good enough. 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.279 So we need to be really conscious of this stuff. 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:12.079 What about attempting things before you feel completely ready? 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:13.920 These are the things that we need to do. 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.720 Putting ourselves out there and saying, ah, I might give that a go. 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.439 And if it doesn't work well, not to beat yourself up about that. 00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:20.959 Just going, well, that didn't work. 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:22.319 I'll give it another go. 00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.040 Or I'll park that and I'll try this way. 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:31.040 What about recording the things that you've handled that you once thought you could not? 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:38.959 Thinking about those, reminding yourself that, oh, I remember before I couldn't do this, and now I've worked on that skill, now I can. 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:41.680 So recording that and reminding yourselves of those things. 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:52.160 So these are the sort of things that we need to make sure that we're looking at and treating very, very importantly, because these this is the relationship that you have with yourself through all those things. 00:06:52.720 --> 00:07:03.519 But just remember, if you miss a workout or if you do have something naughty like an ice cream or whatever, that doesn't destroy the whole lot. 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:19.120 One missed workout does not destroy your confidence, but repeatedly abandoning your abandoning yourself around exercise, eating well, drinking well, hanging out with people that are good for you quietly teaches you that your promises matter.

00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:21.519 Your promises to yourself matter. 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:31.680 So then you stack enough of the things together that you should be doing, that actually you can see the repercussions of the good things that come out of that. 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:40.639 So if you don't feel as energetic as you want or able to move as easily, that's what your body's telling you. 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:45.199 If you if you're not able to do that, your body's saying, I can't move as well. 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:53.279 I know I'm 56, and a lot of a lot of people I'm talking to around my age are saying they ache and they hurt. 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:55.759 I I don't ache or hurt. 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.399 And you know what I asked my mum the other day? 00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.720 She's 85 years of age. 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:02.720 And I said to her, Do you ache? 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:07.120 I've heard my friends are saying that like people are speaking to her saying that they're aching. 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:07.920 Are you aching? 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.920 And she said, No, I'm not aching. 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:11.519 So why? 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:12.959 If you're aching, why? 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.439 What are you doing to your body that you're aching? 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:22.240 Start looking at the things that you're nourishing your body with or you're doing with your body that might be causing it to ache. 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.519 So you have to work super hard to keep positive. 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:31.360 And sometimes the negative thoughts take over more easily if you haven't stacked the odds in your favor. 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:45.039 Sometimes with these things around food and nourishing your body and speaking to the right people around you that are uplifting and encouraging, you might have to, you might be finding yourself working really hard to keep your thoughts positive. 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:50.399 And those negative thoughts could be taking over if you haven't sort of stuck the odds in your favor. 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:59.519 If you're feeling exhausted and flat all the time, you wake up after eight hours of sleep and you think, gosh, I feel like I need another eight hours. 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.759 That could be an indicator that you're not putting yourself first. 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.919 What about if you slip into just scrolling, like just aimlessly? 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:20.480 You're spending and you look down at your time, you've spent half an hour and an hour just scrolling aimlessly on your phone through apps like Instagram or TikTok. 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:26.720 What about second guessing yourself more often than what you would normally think is normal? 00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.279 Like you're forever, like, oh, should I do that? 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:30.159 Should I make that decision? 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:31.519 Was it the right decision? 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.759 Second guessing yourself might be an indication that you're not putting yourself first. 00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:41.679 What about worrying more about what people say or think about you? 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:49.519 If you do something, worrying about what the repercussions are with that, rather than just going, you know what, this is who I am. 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:56.639 Because we know when we stack the odds in our favor around all the things that I mentioned earlier, these sort of things don't creep in as easily. 00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:00.320 It doesn't eliminate them altogether, but they don't creep in as easily. 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:16.639 So not feeling as energetic, working really hard to stay positive, feeling exhausted, slipping into just aimless sort of stuff like scrolling on Instagram or TikTok, second guessing yourself more often, and worrying about what people say. 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.519 That could be an indication that you're not putting yourself first. 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:30.320 Now, I want to tell you a quick little story about um, as you may or may not know, after my separation, I was freaking out and I stopped spending money. 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:39.120 I just stopped spending any money on things that weren't necessities like food and you know mortgage payments, things like that. 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:44.799 So, not long after I separated in 2013, that's what I did. 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:46.320 I stopped spending money. 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.639 I was a single mum and I knew I had to budget really carefully. 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.639 And replacing my phone was definitely not on my bingo card. 00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:00.720 I had an iPhone, and when back then I used to and still do, I pay for them outright. 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:04.879 So I pay for um when I buy a phone, I pay for it outright. 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:07.039 I don't have it on a payment plan. 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:14.960 What I did was I used to shop at Aldi and I went down to Aldi to get some cat food one Saturday morning. 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.399 And I was down there, uh, it was very busy. 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:23.600 If you've ever um gone to Audi on a Saturday morning, it's very, very busy. 00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:25.200 There's a lot of people there. 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:32.720 And I got my cat food and I decided I wouldn't buy it then. 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:35.600 I mustn't have been, uh I mustn't have decided to buy it then. 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.039 So I quickly got back in the car, went home. 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:42.879 I realized when I got home that I'd left my phone at Aldi. 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:49.200 So my uh son, uh I grabbed his phone and I rang my other son in San Francisco. 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.200 Uh, he worked for Apple at the time. 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:54.000 And I said, Zachie, I have left my phone at Aldi. 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:55.600 What can you do to help me? 00:11:55.759 --> 00:12:00.879

And he said, Look, Mum, what I'll do is there's an alarm because he has access to all my um passwords and things. 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:02.559 And he said, Mum, there's an alarm on it. 00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:06.240 I can set off the alarm, you'll hear where it is, and then you can get it. 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:07.039 And I said, Great. 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:13.759 And I drove back down to Aldi, went down there, and um, I went to where the cat food was where I was looking at the cat food and it wasn't there. 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:14.799 And I'm like, oh damn. 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:20.639 So I went up to the front of Aldi, and there was lots and lots and lots of people there. 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:37.840 And my fear of having to buy a phone and paying the money, two grand or whatever it was, to buy another phone was not as high as that was higher than my fear of speaking up in front of all these people. 00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:40.000 I did not want to buy another phone. 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:52.720 So in front of all these people with the alarm going, so Zach had set off the alarm, and I was on the on my other son's phone talking to my uh son, Zachy, saying, I can hear the alarm, Zach, but I don't know where it is. 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:54.480 And he said, Yeah, well, just ask mum. 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:59.360 And I in front of everyone, I said, Excuse me, excuse me, that's my phone alarm. 00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:02.799 Can anyone, has anyone got my phone? 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:04.480 And nothing. 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:05.759 Everyone just stopped. 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:07.360 It was quite intimidating. 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.840 I had so many eyes on me because obviously I was loud and I wanted my phone back and I could hear it. 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:13.440 I knew it was there somewhere. 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:20.639 So then I said it again and louder that time, I said, That sound is my iPhone. 00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:24.159 It's an alarm saying that it's here. 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:26.720 Has anyone got my iPhone? 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.240 I said it three times and no one did anything. 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:32.720 They just stared at me. 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:44.399 Finally, I said the last time a woman standing right in front of me, going through the checkout, put her hand in her pocket, pulled it out, and handed it to me. 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:45.919 And stupid me. 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.039 I said, Oh, thank you so much. 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:50.399 I really appreciate it. 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:51.200 Thank you so much. 00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:52.960 Oh my goodness, I thought I'd forgotten it. 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:54.080 I thought I'd lost it. 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:55.679 I realized halfway home. 00:13:55.840 --> 00:14:01.840 She was just wanting me to go away because I was in her pocket and she knew the alarm was going on. 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.000 She thought she had her iPhone. 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:07.360 Apparently, you can't do anything with them because they're locked and you can't. 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:08.559 I don't know what she was thinking. 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:12.159 But anyway, I got my iPhone back. 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:14.480 So, what's the lesson here? 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:28.000 What struck me afterwards was that I had absolutely no choice but to back myself because I was not going to spend it if I could help it, I was not going to spend that two grand. 00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:31.519 I couldn't afford to feel embarrassed. 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:36.480 I could not worry about those 30 or 40 strangers that what they thought about me. 00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:37.919 I just couldn't worry about that. 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:42.000 I just knew that I had to say what I thought because I could hear that alarm going off. 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:47.200 I could not quietly disappear because making a scene felt uncomfortable. 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:51.039 I needed that phone, so I found my voice. 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:59.840 Would I have behaved that boldly if replacing my phone had meant nothing financially to me? 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:00.960 Maybe not. 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:02.159 Maybe not. 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:04.240 Maybe I would have gone, you know what? 00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:07.200 Whatever, whatever, I'll just go buy another phone. 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:13.759 Hard times sometimes remove the luxury of self-doubt. 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:22.720 They force us to find a stronger version of ourselves because the comfortable option is no longer available. 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:29.840 I was absolutely shaking, but I still did it. 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:38.960 And those people staring at me, seriously, it was it was a lot because I was literally shaking and I had to find my voice. 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.759 My voice was shaking, my hands were shaking. 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.799 That's what confidence really looks like. 00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:51.200 It's not the absence of fear or embarrassment or when you actually feel ready. 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:58.480 It's deciding what matters is more important than how uncomfortable you feel. 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:05.519 You don't need to wait until life backs you into a corner. 00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:10.639 You can start practicing that kind of self-trust right now. 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:22.720 So if that means you need to look at your numbers in your business to feel a little bit uncomfortable to make the changes, go look at your numbers and make sure you know where you stand with it. 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:27.279 Do something that will make you feel like you need to take action. 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:52.240 And if that's looking at your numbers to find out where you're at, or if that's going and doing the things that you need to do to get more clients in your business, or to sack a D-class client, or to make an uncomfortable to have an uncomfortable conversation, to sack a client, or

to talk to one of your bookkeepers that they need to step up more with their work, or whatever that might be, all of those things might feel like confrontation. 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:57.679 But you don't have to wait until you're backed into a corner to do that. 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:02.799 You can start having that brave voice as soon as you make a decision to do so. 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.960 So, what's the science behind this? 00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:16.960 Psychologist Albert Bandura called this self-efficacy, which is our belief in our ability to handle a particular challenge. 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:23.599 His research found that the strongest source of self-efficacy, I can't say that word, you know what I'm saying? 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:27.599 Efficacy is mastery experience. 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:37.440 We build belief by attempting something, working through it, and collecting the evidence that we can cope when we go through it. 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.839 Confidence is therefore built through action, not waiting. 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.039 And that's backed by the American Psychology Association. 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.319 Your focus on relationships is also sound. 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:57.200 The Harvard study of adult development found that warm, supportive relationships are strongly connected with happiness and long-term health. 00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:07.359 The popular claim that we can become we become the average of the five people is not established science, but it uh but who surrounds us matters. 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:09.359 So there it's not a established science. 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:19.519 I know I talk about that all the time with the sum of the five people that we spend um time with, but they say it absolutely matters, the sort of people that you're listening to and surrounding yourself with. 00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:22.640 A fascinating challenge for the mirror section. 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:24.559 So let's have a think about how we can do that. 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:32.319 Research suggests that exaggerated affirmations can sometimes make people with very low self-esteem feel actually worse. 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:36.720 So perhaps the practice of not is not pretending. 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:41.279 It's a it is deliberately learning to see yourself with warmth. 00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:43.039 So try this. 00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:47.759 This is my body, it has carried me through everything. 00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:53.920 I am going to treat it like it belongs to someone that I deeply love. 00:18:54.079 --> 00:19:04.079 So instead of just going my little trick where I go, you're beautiful in the mirror, which I do, I've trained myself to do that, and I'm quite happy with that little exercise that I do. 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:08.960 But if that feels like, you know what, I don't, that doesn't work for me, try this. 00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:13.759 This is my body, it has carried me through everything. 00:19:14.160

--> 00:19:20.079 I'm going to treat it like it belongs to somebody that I deeply, deeply love. 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:27.039 So if you feel like you've got this all on lock and you're feeling confident, you're like, Sharon, why am I listening to this? 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:29.119 And you're already feeling confident. 00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:31.839 I want you to start thinking bigger. 00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:35.279 Have you truly reached your full potential? 00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:39.119 Or have you simply become comfortable at your current level? 00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:47.680 When the business finally works and you start getting yourself into it, that situation where it's making you great money and you're ticking along and it's feeling fantastic. 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:56.160 This is not necessarily the arrival, that can be the beginning of the contribution stage or the next stage. 00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:58.240 So, who can you teach? 00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:06.079 Who can you help grow their businesses if that's what you've done and you feel confident with where you're at with your business? 00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:08.079 What can you create? 00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:14.640 So, could you develop a program that helps people do what you've done? 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.480 Could you do keynotes to share what you've done? 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:20.079 Could you start a podcast? 00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:28.640 Could you do some social media on what's worked for you that might help other people who could benefit from what you've learned so far? 00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:32.319 And remember, AI is not going to do that for you. 00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:37.279 Um, meaning that, yeah, AI is going, it's out there, we see it. 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:42.799 But when there's a real person talking about their real lived experiences, isn't it much better? 00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:46.160 It feels so nice to hear somebody's real lived experience. 00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:51.119 And I think the more and more we AI our world, the more real stories we're gonna want. 00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:52.559 Like my Aldi story. 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:55.119 That's not an AI story, that's a real story. 00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:56.319 So, what could you do? 00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.880 What can you start sharing with people that you've learned that you can give back? 00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:05.519 What challenge would require you to become somebody new? 00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:12.000 Meaning, what could you challenge yourself to do that would turn you into somebody completely new? 00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.200 I know for me, I have grown into somebody. 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:20.640 I never thought that I'd have a podcast and talk on a podcast every week. 00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:22.160 I just never thought that I would. 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.720 I never thought that I'd have a group program and talk in front of groups of people. 00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.559 There's a lot of things that I have had to overcome. 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:38.000 And most of it, to be honest with you, is because I went through a divorce and I felt very, very challenged financially. 00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:43.519 And I thought, you know what, I've got to get my little ducks in a row, the person that I'm becoming, and I'll never give up. 00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:45.519 I will not give up this journey until I die. 00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:52.160 I promise you, I'm gonna keep growing and learning and giving back for the rest of my life because this is like an addiction. 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:56.880 It's such a cool feeling to see what you're actually capable of. 00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:00.400 And I tell you, I don't think I'm ever gonna give up. 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:00.960 Who knows? 00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:01.519 Who knows? 00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:06.079 But I feel like I'm gonna keep testing myself to see what I'm capable of. 00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:11.839 And then what I can help other people do through my podcast and hopefully a book one day. 00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:21.839 I haven't written a book yet, but there's so many things that you would learn and grow through with what you've learned that you can start giving back and sharing to other people. 00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:27.839 Maybe the reward for mastering one level is not retirement from growth. 00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:31.279 Maybe it's being invited into a bigger arena. 00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:36.000 So the books that you could look at for this is Self-Compassion by Kristen Neff. 00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:38.799 These are all going to be in the show notes, so you can have a look at this. 00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:45.279 Uh, the other one is called The Gifts of Imperfection, uh, The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown. 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:50.640 Uh, the third one there is The Good Life by Robert Waldgeiner and Mark Schultz. 00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:54.079 And the last one, which is one close to my heart. 00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:56.000 I love this book, Mindset by Dr. 00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:56.960 Carol Dweck. 00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:57.839 Amazing book. 00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:58.160 Dr. 00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:01.440 Carol Dwick has a TED talk, it's about 13 minutes long. 00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:02.960 It's incredible. 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:09.680 Hopefully, today's podcast on your secret source has been helpful and love your feedback. 00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:11.759 Share it at sharonfrancisco.com. 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:14.079 And until next time, talk to you soon. 00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:15.039 Bye.
