This program nests inside of author John Randolph Price's teeny little book, “The Abundance Book”. It's called the "40 day Prosperity Plan" and came suggested to Carlyn and I by a member of our Mastermind who built a mid six-figure business around micro-dosing for professionals.

Why 40 days? Research shows it takes 40 days for us to realize some things at the conscious level of our mind.

Carlyn and I became accountability partners and did this exercise every day for 40-days, knowing that if we missed,  we had to start over. In this episode, we talk about what we got from doing the exercise four times.

To boost our respective abundance mindsets, business strategist Carlyn Bushman and I did the "40 Day Prosperity Plan." In doing it several times, we realized the following 3 things:

1. It's important to have an accountability partner to do the interpretations with daily
2. One needs to read complementary books and material to get the most out of the exercise
3. There is real whitespace in the market for this kind of interpretation. Just Google "40 Day Prosperity Plan." It's crickets. So we decided to do this exercise to help anyone who is doing the exercise, either alone or together.

Last week, I interviewed productivity expert Tanya Dalton. One thing I loved is this: Challenge someone to write down what they DON'T want to do and they can very quickly create that list. Ask them what they want to do, they will stall and hem and haw

Either way, that's information.

In this workshop, you will discover:

• The difference between being busy and productive
• How to reject the pressure to do more, be more, and achieve more
• How to focus on doing what’s important so you can live the lifestyle you want
• How to create a map to your ideal future

Did you know that your brain is FIVE TIMES more prone to noticing the negative than the positive. Why? Because that negativity bias was the difference between life and death for our ancestors. Thousands of years ago, they faced real fears, like being eaten by a lion.

But TODAY, that negativity bias could be torpedo-ing your ability to put 'self-care' in your calendar. Because your mom challenged you when you were getting your hair done at 7 years old. "Who do you think you are?" or someone told you at 13 "You didn't deserve it."

Here's the rub. Our brains love order. We are constantly referring to the past so we can guess what will happen in the future. Order. So, how can we short circuit our patterns, our negativity bias and start to make new choices?

In her latest book, productivity expert Tanya Dalton doesn't tell you what to think. She empowers you to choose how to think with a framework.

Click on the Samita Lab Mastermind, where you can go deeper to crowdsource answers to challenges, brainstorm creative solutions, and get a sounding board for ideas. Mastermind groups offer a combination of brainstorming, education, peer accountability and support to sharpen your business and personal skills … Members challenge each other to set strong goals, and more importantly, to accomplish them.”  I love the model because it doesn't put the entire burden on a single coach such as me to solve everyone’s problem; instead, knowledge is shared in a less hierarchical way

If not, we have another speaker next week. This is where we have alot of guests and hope something hits home for you. See you next time.  Follow me on Instagram, Youtube, Twitter at joyadass

• Something happens to our child at school. We jump in to try and fix it. 
• Our partner or spouse has a challenge. We jump in to find a solution.  
• Our best friend calls with a problem. We are immediately Googling the answer and saying, 'I know somebody in that industry, I'm going to call them right now.'  

• By jumping in to fix it, yes we are ending our own pain. But----we are robbing our child/spouse/best friend from doing the real work. Engaging in critical problem solving skills.  What if you said instead, "Well, what do you think should happen here?"
• What is your level of urgency? Are we doing it/fixing it at the expense of our own time and energy. Possibly. "If you can't 'not do it,' that is a bar that you can look at if you can't step back." 
• It is a covert or overt bid for control. At its very core, it is disordered boundaries. Because what are we talking about? We're overstepping, over-functioning, over-doing, auto fixing, instant advice giving. All of that stuff, those are boundary issues.
