Most people have never been shown what healthy love looks like.

They mistake intensity for connection, chaos for passion, and anxiety for chemistry.

In this episode, I unpack the difference.

We explore emotional safety, consistency, respect, appreciation, nervous system regulation, and the quiet power of steadiness in long-term relationships.

This is the kind of insight I wish I had understood decades ago.

If you are ready to stop romanticizing dysfunction and start building something calmer, stronger, and more mutual, this conversation will shift you.

This episode is the complete audio of my book, Reset Your Life.

Inside it, I introduce the FIRED UP framework, the philosophy behind everything I teach.

If you prefer to read it, you can download Reset Your Life on Amazon Kindle.

Otherwise, go ahead and press play.

This is a powerful starting point for reclaiming your energy, raising your standards, and feeling fired up about your future.

I also share about my 90-day Elevate Your Money Consciousness program that I am running from 1 August - 31 October, In this program, you will get to actively learn and implement the lessons from the book.

​​​Introducing Sippy Chadha, Rachel Jenkins, Jason Hine and Fiona Nicholls in part 2.​

This interview is also available to watch inside my Facebook group.

This is part 1 of a 3 part series which shares the replay of an incredible 4-hour interview session that I held in my Facebook Group this week.

So here’s what happened.

On Wednesday 19 June, I got an inspired idea to interview some of my Facebook Group members to highlight them, connect with each other and to raise the energy inside my group.

So I reached out to some members and quickly filled the 14 slots with incredible guests who all showed up on Wednesday 26 June and we had some wonderful conversations.

I’m sharing them in 3 parts so that it’s easier for you to find your place if you don’t listen to them all in one go.

But you might want to because they are so good.

If you want to watch it on video and connect with the members I interviewed, join my 'Fired Up Impact-Driven Entrepreneurs On The Rise' facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/impactdrivenentrepreneursontherise

Join my 30 Days To $5K training here.

Notes from training:

Your current results are effects..

If you lack money, that is an EFFECT.

You need to look at the CAUSE

What you are doing or not doing is causing this effect.

Your effect is caused by:

1. Your emotions
2. Your habits
3. Your behavior
4. Your focus
5. Your strategies
6. Your expectations
7. Your self-image

The faster you can shift those 7 things, the faster you will change your money reality.

But right now, I want to help you to achieve a fast cash injection. Because I know I can help you and I'm guessing that if you are listening to this, that you know I can help you too.

So let’s get you the cash to take that next step.

The first thing that you need to realize is that right now, making money is your absolute top priority.

There are two things you can be doing as an online entrepreneur: getting ready to make money .. and … making money.

Let’s get you to making money.

Before I get into ‘making money’ let me help you to recognise what is NOT making money, but rather… getting ready to make money:

1. Website creation
2. Creating an online course
3. Writing a book
4. Creating or building your business
5. Creating an offer
6. Looking for products to buy and sell
7. Doing research or having meetings related to business building
8. Creating a marketing plan
9. Doing mindset work
10. Skills and knowledge upgrading
11. Working with a coach
12. Decluttering and organizing
13. Creating a vision board
14. Serving existing clients
15. Taking a program

If your loved one needs surgery and you have 7 days to find the money for that surgery, NONE of those things will get that money for the surgery!

How many hours over the past week were focused on real money making activities versus ‘getting ready’ activities?

It’s time to MAKE A FIRM DECISION!

No more getting ready to be ready.

Be ready NOW and make the money so that you can pay someone else to do the getting ready stuff with you or for you.

Money is a value exchange. 

Let’s look at what you have of value that you can exchange.

Cut off from any other option except one of these:

1. Sell your coaching services
2. Run a training where you mention your coaching services
3. Promote your services online / make a new offer
4. Offer free calls to demonstrate your services 
5. Relationship build
6. Promote your services / make a new offer
7. Offer free calls to demonstrate your services and relationship build
8. Reach out to friends and old clients asking them to recommend you
9. Get inside Fired Up Coach or 30 Days to $5K
10. Drop a deal
11. What can you sell on ebay or FB marketplace?
12. Rent a room or your home
13. Offer services on Fiverr
14. Rent your car out
15. Get creative with value exchanges

My program will help you to be ready fast. 

My program is an INVESTMENT, not a cost.

It will change your cause so that your effect changes too.

You want to devote 3 - 5 hours daily to MONEY MAKING TASKS

Focus your time on it

This will result in you making money

Your obstacles are not your problem, your focus is. Focus 1% of your awareness of the problem and 99% on the solution. 

Action must include a bit of fear and uncertainty for growth.

You want to use MOVING TOWARDS energy. Not moving away from energy.

If you want to know how I got to where I am, then this is the episode to listen to.

You will also learn:

- why it's not enough to just be a good coach to succeed

- what I would and wouldn't do differently if I was to start over

- why strength training is so important to me

- the main mistakes I see most of my clients making (I made that same mistake)

- the #1 thing that I want listeners to know (that's right at the end of the interview!)

If you are interested in joining Fired Up Coach, then trust that nudge. The amount of transformation and support that you will get is incredible!

This episode is a brief sharing of my experience at Dr Joe's progress retreat. It is hard to put into words how incredible it was, but hopefully what I share in this episode will benefit you. I also share some background information which will help the newcomer to understand his work more.

If you join my new Fired Up Coach membership program, you will get 30 bite-size lessons I created which break down Dr Joe’s teachings in an easy to understand format that will get you past the novice stage faster. You will get many more 30-day programs also, all related to personal growth.

Enjoy the episode and come connect with me and share your thoughts with me on Facebook if you enjoyed it
