Today I explore energy hygiene and tuning our energy to a higher state with a master teacher and a dear friend - Nancy Mae. 

Nancy shares specific techniques to connect deeply with yourself, so you can feel strong, confident and full of love for yourself.  These techniques help you insulate yourself from the current current of fear in society.  They even help you look forward to connecting with yourself with the same enthusiasm as watching Netflix :)

Here’s other things we explore on this episode:
- While obsessively cleaning your cleaning space may be a distraction.   How not to be afraid of the silence of being with ourselves. 
- How to overcome the fears and resistance that some of us may be feeling at this time of global change. 
- How to ground ourselves to feel peace.
- How to separate your energy from that of other people and even from the energy of your business, and remove any emotional charge you may be feeling at this time of uncertainty.

At the end of the episode, Nancy leads us through a beautiful guided meditation.

Nancy Mae, MA, MS, MIM, is a Hay House award-winning author who went from being in both physical and spiritual pain to healed through the power of alternative therapies. Her transformational experience inspired her to radically change professions, create the Energetic Fertility Method™, become an award-winning author and she now works helping people improve and even transform their lives. 

You can find Nancy Mae on her website. 
You can find Nancy’s book “The Energy Fertility Method” on Amazon.  

PS.  We recorded this interview over Zoom and as part of the wide-spread internet usage during the lockdowns created some intermittent sound lags. 

At this unprecedented time, it's ever more important that we stay healthy not just with our bodies, but with our minds.

In this episode, I give an overview of what’s going on in the skies at this time - not for you to learn astrology, but for you to get a sense of what the mirror of the sky is reflecting back to us about what is called forth from us.

I explain why it’s important to feel a sense of collective, not just an individual responsibility.  If you have masks or other protective equipment, please use www.maskmatch.com to donate them to front-line health workers. 

I explain the different ways to stay sane and healthy in your mind, which is going to be critical for our sanity in the coming months.

I went off the grid in the New Zealand backcountry just to emerge into a completely changed world! 

Listen to details of my crazy adventure and how I got just enough cell phone coverage on top of a mountain pass to discover the pandemic had been announced, the stock market had crashed and that the world had changed completely.  That was the beginning of a few days without seeing another human being - days of brainstorming what the new world would be like and how we could help.

Going back to civilization was like emerging from a time capsule!

I talk about the crash of the notion of our individual freedom and the emergence of our collective responsibility for our wellbeing.

I talk about the importance of donate masks and other supplies if you have them at www.maskmatch.com. 

I immerse you in the journey I and my partner took, giving you glances from the last vestiges of normalcy and trekking in the beautiful country of New Zealand, including the disappearing act of hitchhiking.  

Finally, what to do to stay sane in this crazy time.  

In this episode, I talk about spotting an opportunity and how that’s a critical skill to develop as an entrepreneur. I show you a few tricks on how to develop your opportunity spotting abilities.

I also tell you about the archetype of an important planet - Jupiter, which is all about opportunity. It’s is actively participating in the planetary alignment of 2020.

We find ourselves in a time that may change human behavior over the medium to long term. What are the industries and trends that I see that will help you spot opportunities and be successful as an entrepreneur?

I share the fears and blocks of one of my coaching clients. She has some amazing ideas for a business but is stopping herself from going after them because of some incorrect ideas about how entrepreneurship works, which are unfortunately very common.  

Would you love to learn how to choose the perfect Niche? I talk about the 4 essential keys to determine your path to success as a Consultant. 

Developing a foundation is critical to the future of your business. It's essential to figure out the WHAT you sell before you spend money on programs that show you HOW to sell.

I share my shortcut to finding your path in this lifetime. If you do not follow your souls calling then you will have no heart invested. The universe will give you clear signs that this is not working.

It's all about asking the right questions.

Find out why this is a great time for spotting opportunity and taking risks in working for yourself.  

I talk about the power, death and destruction of Pluto, an important planetary archetype that is active now.  It brings destructive energy, but it also makes life possible and gives rise to opportunities for abundance during the rebound. 

I talk about change and the inevitability of change.  Nobody likes it but it’s imperative for renewal and regeneration.  

Around min 13, I mention Pluto coming in contact with Jupiter.  I am correcting myself in the notes - in fact Pluto came in contact with Saturn in mid-January.  The good news is that doesn’t change the meaning of what I'm saying very much since Jupiter was very close by and having an effect as well.  Saturn and Pluto together reflect some deep fears and a potentially scary time.  

In this episode, I explore the mysterious urge to change and reinvent that hits all of us around our early 40's and explain how that's actually intentionally programmed by your soul at birth. 

How you navigate it depends on how much attachment you have to your safety, security and the structures in your life. Which is good news if you’re sick and tired of some structures of your life!

When the burden of unfulfillment becomes so strong, you feel like you have NO OPTION but to LEAP.  And that can feel very scary, uncomfortable.  It may even feel like you're doing something wrong!  I show you how to mentally prepare yourself for the scary leap.  

You also need to be clear on YOUR Zone of Genius and WHO you’re uniquely positioned to serve as a customer before you start buying solutions and coaching programs that show you HOW to sell through various funnels.    

I explain my simple methodology to help you find your WHAT and WHO before you concern yourself with the HOW.  

I was fortunate to be live-coached a second time by celebrity entrepreneur, teacher and coach of coaches Eben Pagan just a few days ago. Eben is one of the early online successes, having started several multi-million dollar businesses and being interviewed by the likes of Tony Robin and Larry King.  Today he and his wife Annie, lead a fantastic coaching program for coaches that I'm learning a ton from! 

One of the things Eben said to me not only stunned and surprised me, it really changed how I view myself and how much I believe in myself as an entrepreneur in the midst of change.  

It made me realize how critically important it is to have someone in your life who's a few steps ahead of you in the direction  you're looking to go, who takes the time to know you and believe in you.  Sometimes, when we're climbing our first big mountain, we need that reassurance of someone who's been up it many times before.  

You may have noticed that I just changed the title of the podcast from "The Teambuilder Playbook" to "The Star Guided Entrepreneur".  This was a major decision for me and I tell you the whole dramatic story of why I am doing this.  It's the scariest thing I've done in a long time, and yes, even scarier than climbing the coldest and highest mountain in North America!

I also realize I will antagonize people who don’t agree with what I’m about to say.  But I've realized that anytime we try to people please and hide a part of who we are authentically, we get judged anyway - people who don't like us will always find something to criticize.

So, I've decided that we might as well go out there and sing our unique song.  

In this episode, I take a look at the 5 most critical hiring mistakes I've seen entrepreneurs make in my experience and offer tools and suggestions on how to avoid them.  

The first and most important principle of successful hiring is that it's not about the What or the How.  It's really about the Who.  

Listen to this episode to learn specific ways to avoid the pitfall of growth - hiring fast and firing slow.
