Bitch Real Wealth Isn't about About Cash

This is a subtitle for your new post

�� Everybody, Steven here, Steven Ricciardi. Here's breathe bitch.com and today's subject we're talking about Bitch. Real Wealth isn't about cash, and this is part of the IG series that we're doing. And what I do is I take an IG Instagram video. Reel that I do, I take for a minute and a doing a minute and a half on Instagram, and I expand those reels out here on this podcast.

Every time I do one of those reels. I am busting with information. I gotta retake it like five times 'cause there's so much information. I gotta fit in one of those things and this allows me to expand on those things for you guys and kinda give you the real mindset of what's really behind that reel as well too.

So the intention of this podcast is to. Try to shift your mind and your perspective on what it is that you're gunning for in life. And your, I want you to reevaluate your definition of success. And maybe it doesn't align with what I'm saying maybe it doesn't change at all, but I just wanna give you a second perspective, something to think about and how my life has changed by changing my perspective on what true wealth truly is.

So that's my intention in this podcast is to just give you something to think about. And if you would go ahead and take a second. I would like you to set an attention what you'd like to gain from this podcast as well too. And what I'm gonna do, so I'm gonna play a video, my reel off of Instagram, and we're gonna go from there.

We're gonna listen to that and we're gonna go from there. And let's see, let's hear it now. Everybody my walk here this morning, and I tell you what, I feel absolutely amazing today and it's absolutely such a beautiful day out. But here's something I don't talk enough about the success. Success has nothing to do with the amount of money that you have in the bank.

Has nothing to do with your material possessions, has nothing to do with the amount of friends you have. It is directly related to the amount of people that you help out in this lifetime, and all those other things are just byproducts of helping people out. But as I've always said before, you can't help anybody else out until you help yourself out.

You need to be okay so you can help other people out. So with that being said, this weekend, shut that TV off. Don't go out binge drinking. Put that vape down. Go for a walk. Go exercise. Select some healthy foods to eat. Be successful this weekend. It starts with taking care of yourself. That's all I got for you.

Have a great weekend. Have a successful weekend, and be safe, everybody. All right. There we go. So that's it. That's the IG reel. And I strongly do feel that way and I not had, not always felt that way until I did shift my mindset. I used to be chasing that dollar. It was all about mc making that money, MCM making that money.

Making cash money is what it was. And, that was the big thing. That was the big thing. Always chasing a dollar. That is what success was, what you had. Cars, the bling, you name it, and if you look around on social media, that's what they tell you it is. That's what it is. Chicks, cash, cars, champagne,

And you have to know if that's all on south there on social media, that's what they tell you happiness is. Then you know, it's gotta be crap about that. I hate to say that, but that's not where happiness comes from. Think about this. If that was the case, every millionaire would be ecstatically happy.

Simple as that. And we know that's not the case. Every billionaire would be insanely happy. And we know that's not the case, look at how many overdoses with movie stars and this and that. That's not happiness. You might say they're partying, they're happy now, most of the time that's just self-medication, dealing with depression, whatever the case may be.

So money is not happiness by any means. Again, back in the day, that was my thing. I chased the dollar. That's what it was all about, and I'll tell you, at the point in time when I had the most amount of money that I ever had, I was not the happiest. I'm not gonna sit there and say I was the most miserable I ever was by no means, but I wasn't the happiest that I ever been.

And once I started learning and delving into the teachings, I realized that. Acts of service and helping other people out is where true happiness comes from. And that's true enlightenment and true famili, true fa fulfillment and true wealth comes from, is helping other people out.

And again, as I said in that video that, I. Stuff, money and all that stuff, or just byproducts from helping other people out. Back when I was chasing a dollar I dunno if you guys heard of this guy, Zig Ziglar big business speaker back in the day. He was old school. Old school, and he has a wonderful quote and I don't if I can remember it pro properly, but he said and his quote, but he, a lot of his teachings were religious based too, and that's probably why this makes sense, but it does truly apply to business and personalness. He says, if you can help enough people get what they want, you'll have no problem getting everything that you want. And that's what I'm saying here is that, helping people out doing things for other people, everything else is a byproduct from helping other people out.

And if you look back into ancient texts, and this is one of the things that I, again, I love about doing these videos because I did, I delve in deeper and I researched more into this stuff and I already felt this way and I've learned some stuff. But once I dig in this deeper, I'm like, oh my gosh. The more I dig deep, the more facts that I find that.

Confirm the things that I already believe in. So that's amazing. If I didn't, then I would change my beliefs. So here's a, an interesting study from Harvard Business School back in 2010. They did, they said they studies show that giving acts of service activate the same brain regions as receiving rewards.

So giving and helping somebody out. Actually activates the same brain areas as receiving gifts, so we basically, and I know this is such a hard concept for people to understand in this day and age in this world, but it's not about me. It's about them, you helping them out. And that's why I do what I do here.

I'm not trying to sound, hold myself outta some sort of saying or anything like that, but that's what I do. I do this to help people out because nothing lights me up more than hearing from somebody. That, this morning I woke up to a message from a woman saying, I listened to your videos and they really helped me out.

I was going through something and that was an amazing feeling. That was an amazing feeling. That's why, and it just lights me up. Here's a another study. In 2015, a study found that people who engage in regular volunteer work are 22% more likely to feel satisfied with their lives.

Again, more giving quotes here about Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates, their after shoots for helping people out their success. Here's the thing too that I totally agree with. Helping other people out leads to bigger opportunities, networking, you find other people who are helping other people out as well, and those are people you can network with.

And you find people like-minded people, and that's the important thing too. Is engaging and finding like-minded people. That's one of the things too, I used to always say, with business conferences or even mindful events, whatever the case may be, it's super important to go to these events and these things like maybe you go to a big breath work event or a big yoga event.

You get to network with these people and vibrate with these people and have that same vibration and you realize, sometimes you might walk around and feel like I'm a little crazy thinking this way. But when you find your people, your tribe and you vibrate with them, you say, okay, I'm not crazy.

The rest of the world is crazy. And that, that's why it's so important too. So when you volunteer, you get to hang out with people that same mindset and you get to help out and you, again, it lights your brain up when it comes to that. So let's talk about, where my mind shift came from and how did I change this? 'cause again, I said I was and I was, I truly was money hungry. That was my thing, that was my goal. It was all about chasing that dollar. And once I started studying more into Buddhism and I got deep into Buddhism that I learned that the path to.

True happiness, which lies within and the path of enlightenment was filled with helping other people out. It's about helping other people out and it's not about me. It's about helping somebody else out and how to, change other people's lives. And that's why I do what I do right here. Again, I know I do this to hope I can change somebody's life, make their life a little bit better, make them happy, or make their at least their day happy, their hour.

Happy that lights me up. If I can change your entire life, amazing. Even better. But I'll settle for just even an hour, five minutes. I don't care. Long as it changes somebody's life and they can see the, the difference in some things and. Relieve some stress of theirs. But so what happened with me is, again, so I started studying the Buddhism and I delved a little deeper into it and I found that, on the path of enlightenment, it's filled with helping other people out.

And when I first started doing these videos, I started doing these videos and they were called the Mindful Minutes. And some of 'em will pop up when I'm doing this series here, because somehow I still at the beginning say, this is the mindful minute. And when I started doing these videos, I was sitting on a ton of cash.

I will tell you, I was sitting on a very large chunk of cash where I didn't have to work for many years. And I, my lifestyle would not have changed. And I'm not talking about, I would've had to skimm for many years, but could've made it. No, I could've lived quite well, gone out to eat four or five times a week, kinda like I do now.

Even though I'm not well off, but I still go out to eat a lot. I could have lived very well. I could have bought a Ferrari cash. Everything paid quite some time. Quite some time, many years at least. At least a minimum of five years, if not longer. And and that's living really well. I. I felt guilty making these videos and I said, man, geez, here I'm making these videos about, not being stressed and this and that.

I have an unfair advantage than, and a lot of people have because, I did acquire all this and that, even though I made it all, and but I still felt man, here I am talking about it. Sure. It's easy to find peace when you don't have to work. Lo and beholds. As I was going into starting this whole breathe bitch thing up quite some time back, everything I had got ripped away from me ripped.

I made some bad business choices, some bad investments, and I literally lost everything. Everything except down to 5,000 bucks. And that, that's, with the, what I had going on, 5,000 bucks was nothing. And I came to a point like, okay, what do I do? Do I go back to nursing?

Do I concentrate on some of the stuff that I got going on to make the money be, breathe, bitch is probably going out the window because, I just need to start focusing on money. And that's when it dawned on me. I'm like, maybe the universe, I don't know, in some crazy way granted me this wish of mine to.

To be in the shoes of a lot of people where I do have to make money today to pay for the things next month and now I'm in that position. The crazy thing is that once and all that came pretty much within like over two months period span, where I lost everything. So it hit really fast.

So it wasn't like it was a really slow, trickling thing. It hit fast. And I sat there and I'm like, I'm okay. Like I'm okay. Like this should be a super depressing moment in life. Having everything ripped away from me, but I'm not gonna, I'm okay. And I made the decision to move forward with Breathe Bitch, because if I feel like that under that situation, more people need to learn how to feel like this and be like this.

And I said, you know what? I'm just gonna move forward. I'm gonna help as many people out. To find inner peace, to live to that higher version of themself. And I got faith in the universe that everything's gonna work out okay. Simple as that. And that's where I'm at right now, i. I wanna help as many people out.

I feel healthier. I feel richer than I ever have at this point in time with the people that I've helped out. And I'm super happy. I'm super happy. I'm not just saying that because I got other option I do have other options. I could shut this down, go back to the grindstone like I did before and hump and make that money and that's not what I wanna do.

I want to help people out. And again, I feel amazing about this. How's it gonna turn out? I don't know, but I, my gut feeling says it's gonna turn out okay because again, I do believe in that tomorrow's not promised. If I die tomorrow, I'll tell you this. If I die tomorrow, I will die. So happy that I help the people out, that I did help out while I was alive, as opposed to saying, man, I worked three shifts and I made that investment and this and that came up and I died.

How would I rather die? Would I'd rather die tomorrow with those few different things on my last mind, the mindset that, okay, I helped some people out and this is how you know I'm gonna go. Or, oh man, I worked that last shift. Oh, one of that check got cashed, or this, or hit the bank before I die.

That's, so think about that. That's something to think about. So let's take a look at some ancient, writings about this and were they, because this has been, this isn't something that, just some new age thing that just popped up, all this cash and champagne and.

Exotic cars and all that stuff. That that's all new stuff. Okay. This right here, this mindset that I'm talking about has been in existence for quite some time. Let's talk about it. And Hinduism, here's one of the quotes from Hinduism. The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

That's a Hindu Hinduism quote. And they teach that selfless acts is the path to true fulfillment, serving others without attachment results to spiritual success and personal growth. The Bible, Christianity, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant. Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.

Jesus emphasizes true greatness comes from serving others not seeking status or power. Give it and I will be. Give and it will be given to you. That's all Christianity quotes. Daoism, the wise leader, does not accumulate riches but gives to others. The more he helps, the more he gains. And that's Daoism right there.

Daoism is wisdom teaches that true success is about harmony. Humility and helping others. Buddhist teachings, and this is, some of the teachers I listen to if you light a lamp for someone else, it will also brighten your path. The concept of selfless giving is the core. Teaching and Buddhism help others lead to inner peace and enlightenment.

Islam, the best among you are those who bring the most benefit to others. Islam teaches that true success is not in the material wealth, but in generosity and service to humanity. Some this is some African philosophy. I am because we are, and this is a philosophy, I cannot pronounce their name. Deeply rooted in African tradition, emphasizes c.

Interconnection is, and the idea that our success is tied to how we uplift others. So this, the concept is not something new. It's been around forever. And these ancient teachings talk about it. And who would I to come along and say, Hey, they're all wrong. Because I could see what, what's going on in this world.

It doesn't look right to me. Some of that ancient stuff looks way better to me than this new stuff that's going on. And think about this, the acts of kindness and helping somebody out, how rewarding you feel about that. It's not taxed, you're not getting taxed on it, you don't have to do all kinds of crazy shelters or anything like that from helping other people out.

I. And I believe that when you give, the universe will give back to you. It doesn't have to be monetarily, it could be spiritually, it could be it could be monetarily, it could be however the universe deems to, to send it back to you. And I'm a firm believer in karma as well too. And karma isn't like a lot of people think.

That, oh, you know that karma's gonna get you one day. Karma has no emotions. Carmen is nothing different. No different than throwing a rock in the water. And the bigger the rock you throw, the bigger the waves are gonna be. And it has no emotions. It's just a cause and effect. Because you throw goodness, then hopefully goodness is gonna come back to you.

And then that's, I do, I believe that. So that's my kind of take on it. And, and I truly do believe that. And that's why I live the life that I do live, that I help people out. I don't even, again if I die broke, as long as I die happy and with peace, then I'm okay with that. And I know some of you say I don't want that.

I don't wanna die. Die broke. But what's it matter if you die happy? That's the thing. And. If you're saying that, oh, I don't wanna die broke, then you're tying your happiness to money. And money is not happiness by any means. And I said yeah, money. We've got a lot of ways to justify it.

Let's look at it this way. Money is freedom. Okay? Yeah, it is freedom. But so is not being tied up in a job, working, 80 hours a week, 60 hours a week, 70 hours a week doing overtime, missing family events. With the fact that you could die tomorrow. My granddad, all he ever wanted to do one of my granddads is all he ever wanted do was retire.

And he got to that retirement age and he died a week later. That was it. That's what he wanted. His goal was to retire. And then he ended up dying right afterwards. It might not have been way, I think it was like a month later, I take it back. But he didn't get to enjoy his retirement, and I do I go for walks every day.

I live like I'm retired. I really do. I do this, I hustle at this because that's just how, I want to help people out. But I, again, I live like I'm rich. Again, it's all perspective. The ancient texts are there that this is how you're supposed to live.

Don't chase a dollar, help people out. It reciprocated back to you through the universe. Through God, through whatever it is that you believe, karma, whatever the case may be, but. It's there. It's there. So that's my take on things. This is where we typically take, I'm gonna wind things down. This is where we typically take a question from a viewer and or a yeah, a question from a viewer.

We go through it and we answer it with mindful tips and through a mindful a lens and give them a perspective on it and hopefully give this some helpful advice. But again, this is early on. We don't have any questions in yet. To submit your questions, go to breathe bitch.com. Go down to the podcast page, hit the button to the podcast page.

There's gonna be a spot down there where you can fill out your information. First name, last name, what state you're from. We will not say your last name on air and put in your message if you need some sort of a mindful advice. And again, I'm not some sort of licensed clinician or anything like that. I just do a lot of studying about mindfulness and do a lot of mindful practices and.

So we'll give you the best advice we possibly can. Make sure you do your practices. That's a very important key component to life itself. Your breath work, your yoga, your meditation. And definitely your meditation and your breath work. Yoga is up to you, whether it be yoga, whether it be you're going to the garden to plan something, you're reading that book, make sure you take that time for yourself.

I do the yoga because it is a physical activity. Whether may, maybe it's you go do Tai chi. Maybe it's the Pilates, I don't know. Whatever it is you go do that thing for yourself, but do it mindfully and think about it and take that moment for yourself.

All right. This is be a good little spot to throw in a little breath work session right here. We're gonna make a quick little breath work session right here, and it's something I want you to think about too, is while we're doing it, so first thing I want you to do again, you're gonna follow my words, follow what I say here.

So take a deep breath in. Take a deep breath in. Biggest breath you've taken all day. Take it in, get to the top, hold it. Take another sip of breath air. Hold it.

�� All right. I want you to exhale nice and gently. Don't force it out. Nice and gently. And once you get to the bottom, I want you to inhale through your nose for six seconds and then once you get to the top of that six seconds, I want you to hold for six seconds. And then once you hold for six seconds, I want you to exhale through your nose again for six seconds and then hold at the bottom.

And this is what's called box breathing. This is six second box breathing, and all four sides of this box is gonna be for six seconds. And I want you to continue to do that till I tell you otherwise. Nice and gently through the nose, nice and gently.

And then when I count down from three to one, I want you to take the deepest breath you've taken all day. 3, 2, 1, take another deep breath in all the way up.

Let it out. Nice and calm, nice and relaxed, and I want you to go into a seven second breath right now. So seven seconds in. Seven seconds out, no holding on either side. And I want you to just relax seven seconds in and out. And here's something I want you to think about. I want you to visualize. A world that does not judge you on things, stuff junk.

Not how big your house is, not how shiny your car is, how much you have in a bank, the clothes you wear. I want you to visualize a world that judged you on your merit, on your credibility, your honesty, how you carry yourself, your integrity, your health. And here's something I want you to think about. Warren Buffett is worth $163 billion, and I guarantee you Warren Buffett would trade shoes with you any day anyway, because he's 94 years old.

Imagine that a billionaire would trade shoes with you and okay, let's say he wouldn't. Would you trade shoes with him? Would you give up everything you have to be his wealth level and his age? Probably not. So there you go. What you have right now is worth more than $163 billion in being at 94. So walk around like you're wealthy bitch.

'cause you are now resume your normal breathing. Good job.

Nice.

Make sure you follow us Also on Instagram. Breathe Bitch. And Facebook Steven Rii. That wouldn't let us say bitch on Facebook. So Steven Rii and TikTok. I was a breeze bitch on TikTok as well too. That's all I got this one. We'll see you on the next episode. Thank you for listening. I'm blessed that you were here and have a great day.

Progress Not Perfection. Get it Done.

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 01:56:22 GMT

This is a subtitle for your new post

�� Everybody. Steven Rii here. Breathe bitch.com. Thank you for joining us again for another episode. This episode is progress, not perfection. And the thing is, we're just trying to get you to do that thing. Just do it. Start working on it instead of thinking about it, just do it. It does not have to be perfect to get it out there.

Just start going, you get too perfection by doing the thing. Simple as that. So this part of our IG series, and if not familiar with it, it's what I do is I take one of my IG videos, Instagram videos, and they're only about a minute and a half long. Typically. I gotta rerecord the things because I have so much I wanna say in it, and I always go over.

So I gotta rerecord it and short it down and short it down. So it'll fit it in that minute and a half. But now I get to expand the thing and give you guys the full mindset of where I was in that video. And so we're gonna play this video real quick. This clip from the IG series. And it is about, again, just starting and doing that thing, if you've got that goal that's something that lights you up or whatever the case may be, just start doing it.

It don't have to be perfect. Get it out there. Be bad at it first. Nothing. No problem with that. Alright, so let's go ahead and we'll play this clip real quick and. There we go everybody. I'm out here at the park today going for a walk. Some big announcements. Got some big things happening. The end of March.

Not gonna tell you what they are. There's they keep your eyes out. Some big things happening. I'm pretty excited about it. But if you've been to my website, breathe bitch.com. It's a mess. It's an absolute mess. Links don't work on it. Bad spelling, bad grammar, you name it like that. And I've had that site out there for about a year.

And you might say, Steven, why? Why would you do such thing? Why would you launch a site when it looks like that, I. Because I'm pretty good with SEO search engine optimization, and I know one of the key factors of something ranking is its age. So I'm gonna go ahead and throw that out there. I knew I was gonna do something with it.

And by the way we're working on it now. Get looking better. There's gonna be all kinds of great stuff on there, but we already rank number one in Fort Myers for breath work, sometimes three in Tampa, sometimes we're in the second page, Miami back and forth. But where am I going with this? Where I'm going with this is if there's something that you're sitting on that you want to do that lights you up, but you wanna make sure it's perfect before you launch it, don't go do that thing.

It does not have to be perfect. Go launch that thing because I can promise you this, if you wait for it to be perfect, it'll never come to Fruitation. Go do that thing. Make it reality because. Even if you think you've got it figured out, that game's gonna change anyway. So do it. Get started. Make it reality and be fluid.

Be fluid and change as you go. And you'll figure it out as you go. So we'll go do that thing that lights you up and I'm gonna tell you what, get that passion for life back again. It's amazing. That's all I got for you. Alright, so that's the IG reel. Again, check us out on Instagram, breathe bitch, all kinds of different reels in there.

I don't make videos out of our podcast, out of all of them. So there's some on there that you may be missing. I. And may find one or two that resonate with you might help you out in a situation. So keep that in mind. So again, my intention for this video is that it's gonna help you just get started to launch that thing and get moving in a forward direction so you could be the higher version of yourself and reach that goal of yours.

As I said you can screw around and talk about the thing forever, but doing the thing is completely different. Now, I know you couldn't see this if you're listening to the podcast unless you're watching a video version of this thing. I held my cell phone up to the microphone and that's how I played that video off of Instagram.

Now, my original plan was to. Do a screen recording of it and paste that in into the video and into the podcast. That way for the video version of it, you'll see the video that was on Instagram and you guys will be able to hear it and it'll roll into it. But I was having problems with it and I don't know, 'cause sometimes Instagram will block it.

If you have background music, which I did have background music on that one. They'll block the downloads or they'll, when you download it, they'll be silent. I tried to do a screen recording of a couple different ones and for some reason it may have been the internet at that point in time, or may have been my computer, or may have been Instagram, I don't know.

But it was giving me hangups. And you know what I said, I could have tried it again today, but I just said, screw it. Let's move forward with it. Let's get it done. Because I set myself a deadline on getting some of these podcasts done and that was gonna hold me up. And I'm not screwing around.

I'm doing it. So that's why I just held the phone up. There might've been a little ghetto, but I don't care. That's just how we operate sometimes. Sometimes we gotta get a little ghetto to get things done. Simple as that. Nothing wrong with that. So simple as that. There's a big difference in talking about the thing, walking about the thing, thinking about the thing, laying around about the thing, but doing the thing.

Is the thing that gets you where you want to be. Simple as that. And again, I could have been sitting here and researching different ways how to get that video off of Instagram and all this thing. But I didn't, I said, let's just do it. Lets, let's move forward with it. So you need to find your thing that you lights you up.

That's what you need to do. You need to find something that lights you up and move forward to it. And. This is not part of the book that we're working on, but this will definitely be a part of the book. This is, again, this is on my IG series, but so we've got another series going on as well too. If you're not familiar with it, it's called Breathe Bitch, your Journey to Peace, power, and Purpose.

And definitely in that purpose section we're gonna, have things in, things that you can look at that possibly might light you up? Goals, we definitely want you to find that thing that lights you up. Breathe, bitch lights me up. I love to be able to help people out. This is what that it's really, it's been life changing for me.

I cannot believe, you know how many times I wake up to messages in the morning from somebody who watched all my videos or something like that just happened this morning. I woke up and a woman said, oh my gosh, I'm so glad I found your videos. I was in this horrible narcissist relationship da.

And some of your videos really resonated with me and they really helped me out. That lights me up. That lights me up. I'm like, man, I don't even know who she is, but my video helped her out and I sent her some more advice as well too. And I told her to keep watching. We're gonna have some things that's definitely gonna be help her out.

So you gotta find that thing that lights you up. What is that thing? And you might say I don't have a thing. What is your talent? What do you do? There's so many different things out there. Do you read? Do you like to read? Okay you might as well. Okay. How do I kinda help Read To the Blind?

That's something that might light you up, read to the blind read to the elderly who, who don't want to read anymore, can't read whatever the case may be. Especially in a memory care area. Are you good at math? Like, why is that gonna help me Tutor? You can tutor. There's so many different things you can do to help people out.

Now the things I'm gonna mention are gonna be helping people out 'cause that's what lights me up. But it doesn't have to be something like that. It's whatever it is that lights you up. To me there's no better gift than helping other people out. That, to me is true. Success is the success is graded by how many people your success is rated, excuse me, by how many people you help out.

And that's just how I live my life. But it, you may live your a little bit differently. And again, so you could do tutoring if you're a handyman, you could do some free services for somebody or help somebody out do to reduce paid services. 'cause I know you gotta pay for material and all that stuff.

Gardening maybe you like to garden, like how am I gonna garden and donate some of your vegetables to some needy families. Simple as that. But the trick is to start doing the thing. Get that thing done. Now you might say I live up north, I live in south Florida. There you can only have a garden year round.

Just depends on what you're planting. But maybe up north, got's snowing, I can't I can't garden now. Okay, can you start germinating the seeds inside? Can you start doing that? Lay out your groundwork or go out there and start digging up the soil, turn tilling the soil.

Or laying out the area or mapping out what you wanna do. Do something, work on that thing, write a plan out. But I will tell you this, writing a plan out and doing those other things is not actually doing a thing. You gotta do the thing. Especially if you're doing something like this with a podcasting or working on the website by the way, we did get our website straightened out.

It's not completely it's an ever evolving process. And then we're gonna talk about that here in just a little bit too. But, doing the thing and talking about the thing again, are two different things. That was, I could sit down and research and I do, I research for all these podcasts that I do.

'cause, even though I might know a lot of this information, I still want to get some of the best and latest information I possibly can to you guys. So I research more before I do one of these podcasts, and I could spend all day doing it. And I did. And when I first started out I spent so much time doing it and I spent weeks on one particular subject and I'm like.

How much more can I know about this thing? I'm like, just go freaking do the thing. And you get this mental block sometimes. I don't know if you're like me, but sometimes I get this mental block that I, this holds me back from doing this thing. And you just gotta release that. Just once you start getting past that block, it opens up a flood gate and you know the difference between working on it and working around it.

Simple as that. So like I said, do that thing. Start advertising for that thing. Start advertising for it. I'm big about that. Things that I start doing and I've got, I've got a couple different companies. I got a couple different things that I do. Start advertising for it, and even if you're not ready to do it, because again, that helps with the SEO, it gets your name out there.

I would rather turn away a customer and say, Hey, we're not ready for you yet. And now you're building up your database. Say, I'm not ready for you yet, but we will soon. Thank you for reaching out and let me hold you in onto your information and when we're ready, I'm gonna let you know. Simple as that. I would much rather that than spend all this time, years and effort and this and that and have this polished, perfect thing and release it and then crickets.

Okay. Then find having somebody, some twinkling in. That's why I did the website the way I did. I did the website. Heck, it was out there a year before we really did anything with it. I just had other things going on in life and I would work on it a little bit just for SEO purposes and we ranked pretty good.

We ranked pretty good with it. You know it's ever rankings, never. Ever continuing battle, but but, I feel comfortable with where we're ranking at, especially at this age in time on it. Again, so get your stuff out there, build you a Facebook page for it, whatever the case may be, Instagram page for it.

All kinds of different things you can do to get out there. Maybe you wanna be, maybe you wanna be a yoga instructor. Go take the yoga classes and start advertising for the. Find out if you wanna work for a studio. I know a lot of yoga stocks, the ones that I actually go to yeah, only, yeah, I don't really go to any studios anymore.

They do it on their own. They do it in the parks. And I used to go to studios all the time, and I prefer, this is just my preferences. I prefer somebody who's not in a studio because the studio's. Seem to be so regimented. And I hate to say like robotic, it's just okay, downward dog, that or that blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Where these individuals that I use, and they were, they all work together. So they all teach the same style. It's just a, it's more of a spiritual flow. They just go with what's going on and what's happening in the moment. And it's not just, here's the book, here's what we did.

This is the five poses I got laid out for us to do today. And blah, blah, blah. They just wing, wing it off the top of their heads, but they're good like that, but so again, they find places that, that they do this ad and by doing so, they get to reap more profit that way.

So advertise that thing. So again, if you're gonna be a yoga instructor, start advertising for it. Whatever the case may be, whoever you're doing. Start a order. Some shirts, like this shirt I got on now. I got a Breathe bitch shirt on right now. You can get these things off of Amazon, you can get 'em made locally, and you just get one or two of 'em made.

There you go, start advertising your thing. Again, like I said, the important thing is to just start doing that thing. It does not have to be perfect. This is a bold move in life and it doesn't matter what you're doing, but this is a bold move in life. You have to be willing to go and be bad at something.

Go do that thing and be bad at it. And don't worry about who's looking, 'cause nobody's looking. Go be bad at that thing. Pick yourself up, dust your off, dust yourself off, and go move forward and then go be good at it. And then fall again and dust yourself off and went and move forward and go be great at it.

Simple as that. That's the progression, every successful person I know, you know when I do a lot of, we used to go to a lot of business conferences and stuff like that, and the saying was, I. Every successful person has failed. They just failed more than the person who gave up. They keep failing and just getting theirselves up and dust themselves off, and that's how you get perfect is by doing those things.

So go out there, be bad at that thing, then go be good at that thing, and then go be great at that thing. So don't be scared, don't worry. I'm gonna tell you right now, nobody is looking. They'll say, and it says dance like nobody's watching. Guess what? I got news for you. Nobody's watching, and I'm gonna talk about this a little bit later, but you know what?

There is a hundred, and I just said this in one of my classes the other night. There is 111 Nobel Peace Prize winners. Can you name three of them? Can you name three of those Nobel Peace Prizes? Prize winners? Probably not. Maybe one, maybe two. But I guarantee you can't name three. And this was the biggest day of these individual's lives.

These were events that obviously. Impacted society themselves is why they get these awards, the things that we do, and we don't even know their name. We don't even know their name. And I'm not trying to say this to make you feel bad, but I'm just trying to tell you that if we don't know what they've done and it was the most important thing in their life, the most life changing thing they probably have ever done.

The massive recognition of this thing, this life changing thing that's impacted society. We don't know their name. Nobody's watching you. I can promise you that nobody's watching you. Go fail. Go. Go out there and land flat on your face, baby. Then pick yourself up. Smile, dust yourself off, and go do it again.

And land on your elbows this time, and then scrape 'em up a little bit. Get up. With a bigger smile on your face, get yourself off and just stumble down to the knees the next time. And the next time, guess what? You'll catch yourself. You catch yourself. 'cause then you're being great. So go do that thing.

Don't. Don't mess around. Don't mess around. Don't be scared to go do it. Simple as that. There will be somebody who's gonna make fun of you. Screw them. You know what? What are they doing? I can guarantee, I can promise you this. I can promise you this. If anybody makes fun of you, they are not doing a thing.

Simple as that. They're sitting back watching TV every night. They're not doing anything. 'cause anybody who's done anything of any kind of success in their life will look at you and see where you're at in your journey and recognize themselves in that journey. And say, oh, yep, I've been there. And they may even throw you some encouraging words.

So don't yeah. Would you fail? The great people will recognize that, hey, they're coming up, they're coming up, they're doing exactly what I did when I started out. So again, don't ever be embarrassed about what you do. That is just some sort of mental block that we have in our own head.

Simple as that. So hear about some tips on how to go and do that thing, how to get started on that thing. Here's a, here's one I like this, that says, lower the bar start ugly. Lower the bar, start ugly Again. Like I said, it does not have to be perfect in any way. Be rough, messy, that's what the beginning's all about.

That's what the beginning's all about. Any carving, think about any statue that was made. It's gotta start, starts out ugly. You know when somebody started, Michelangelo started some beautiful statue they were working on, first couple people walked by okay, yep. Looks like a big old rock to me.

But they weren't there time after time, and maybe they did come back and say, oh wow, what are this beautiful. Sculpture come from. It just takes time. Just takes time. And, one of the problems too is you gotta let go of that instant gratification mindset. It takes time to be great at something, but here's the thing.

And if you're doing something that, if time, which everything takes time at, but if you're doing something that seems a little bit harder than what you thought it would be. I want you to embrace that 'cause I certainly do. Now this is something that just popped in my head, but I'm so glad it did because this is such an important message right here.

If you're doing something. I don't care what it is. I don't care if you're starting a building company, you're starting something and you're like, oh, this takes far more permits than I thought it was ever gonna take. Or this takes far more time to do this than I ever thought it was. Doing a Bo a podcast, it took a lot more stuff that I thought than it it was gonna take to do it than I thought.

But when you run into those walls, those barriers, I want you to embrace that. Be like, okay, this is good. This is a good thing. And you might say why is this a good thing? Because this is a barrier that I. 10% of the people are not gonna cross. They're gonna give up right there. And then when you hit that next barrier, say, okay good.

The bigger the barrier, the better it is. And I want you to know that, and I want you to push through that barrier because that barrier is what holds people back. And when it holds people back. That's great, because then that allows you to even enter closer to that greatness on the other side because those barriers, again, cut the week away and you're strong and you're gonna push through it, and you're gonna be great because you just keep getting up, dusting yourself off and moving forward.

Simple as that. So that's really the gist of it that you just, you know, you don't let. Society laugh at you because if they're laughing, those aren't the people that you're looking up to. Because those people will acknowledge where you're at and recognize themselves in that barriers, embrace them.

Those are good things. They're great things because that holds the rest of the people back. That's what you want. 'cause some things are easy. Have very easy low barrier entries, and those are tough to get into because the masses get into 'em. But if you take it deeper and deeper, get across those barriers, that's the beautiful part about it.

And so that separates you from the rest. So simple as that. So this is where we're gonna go and start widening it down a little bit. I just hope that motivates you to go do that thing. Again, whatever that may thing may be, maybe you wanna go be a yoga instructor and help people out find mindfulness.

Maybe you wanna be a breath work instructor which you can go to our website and we will eventually have something on there to teach people to be instructors on that as well too. Or we got a special thing at the end of this book that we're working on. I think I did mention that at the beginning of this, the book that we're working on is Breathe Bitch, your Journey to Peace, power, and Purpose.

And we're gonna have something that people can actually workshops that they can present of the book. And that'll be on our website. And that's the first time I mentioned that. So there you go. A little sneak peek of that. And that book should be done by the end of the year, hopefully. So whether it be something like that or whatever the case may be, tutoring, whatever the case may be, go do that thing.

Just start doing it now. Simple as that. Don't wait. Just go do that thing.
