I've seen entrepreneurs and founders just like you be scared of doing any research beyond a survey.

You are going to learn the importance of customer research in understanding customer needs, pains, and preferences, focusing on the solution, empathizing with your customers, and understanding your competition through various research methods.

You and I are going to break down the importance of customer research, utilizing various research approaches, techniques, and frameworks.

Juntos brindaremos formas prácticas para ayudarte a desatar tu potencial, sanar traumas pasados y crear una vida en perfecta armonía con tu verdadero yo y tu legado. Mi objetivo es ayudarte a ti a superar el agotamiento y el estrés, lograr claridad, vitalidad y armonía.

Entonces, si estás pensando, dejar tu trabajo, empezar o llevar tu negocio al siguiente nivel mientras cuidas tu salud mental, Living in Alignment entregará eso y mucho más un episodio a la vez. Este es el comienzo de tu nueva vida.

Hola, qué tal? Oh, my gosh. Este es el primer episodio de Living in ALignment en español. Yo estoy muy contenta que estén aquí conmigo hoy. La verdad es un honor tenerlos. Es un honor saber que están del otro lado, escuchando mi voz. Yo soy ale. Alex wi che rojo latina venezolana que vive en Australia, quien de joven Venezuela en el por seis meses y nunca regresó.

Pues de vacaciones evidentemente reviví en Londres por siete años, casi siete años, y he vivido en Australia desde el comienzo del y pues aquí estoy, tengo dos bebés hermosos. Soy Oliver y mi esposo amado may, quien conocí en Londres. Pero después de todo eso, pues nada soy una persona, pues super, mucha pasión en el área de emprendimiento y en el área de crecimiento espiritual.

Y les digo de una vez, para mí, no va a ser nada cómodo hacer estos episodios en español por los momentos. Me voy a acostumbrar y me estoy acostumbrando. Desde que yo me mudé, digamos a Londres y Australia, la verdad, me he dado cuenta de que o me di cuenta de que, pues nada. Yo olvido un poco mi mi lengua, digamos en mis raíces, y ha sido el motivo por el cual he querido lanzar este en tanto en español como en inglés, porque me parece número uno, algo muy bonito, no para mí personalmente, que pueda crecer de que yo pueda hacer la persona que soy desde nacimiento.

A mí me parece muy bonito que mi mensaje y el mensaje de emprendimiento de crecimiento personal del crecimiento individual que tenemos sea algo que yo pueda regalar audiencias tanta o de habla de que hablan inglés como audiencia escala en español o entiend en español. Así que si eres una persona que estás digamos, tratando de entenderte a ti misma de comenzar un negocio, convertirte en un free lance o un emprendedor o emprende a creativo con propósito, y que te sientas emocionalmente regulado, que tú salud mental esté en un buen lugar.

Este es el lugar para ti y para mí, para escucharnos, para entendernos y para conocernos. Te quiero contar un poquitito de que vamos a hablar en este episodio. Este episodio va a ser un poquito, un poquito por todos lados porque es el primero y no es perfecto. Y te quiero hablar de eso de la perfección.

Hay una persona muy linda que yo conozco aquí en donde yo vivo en brisquen. Ella se llama juanita will. Y ella es un College de liderazgo y también ayuda a personas a que puedan establecerse como. Cómo se dice en español? Quiero decir, de una vez que a mí se me van a olvidar miles de palabras que no sé cómo se van a ir en español, pero en inglés es speaker coach que es una persona que ayuda a otros hablar en escenarios básicamente.

Y ella también es la directora ejecutiva de there a aquí brisquen ella siempre dice en inglés se dice Tony perfecto, lo que quiere decir es que es mejor hacerlo que esperar que sea perfecto. Y yo creo en eso. Quiero que sepan que este episodio no va a ser perfecto. Y quiero que sepan que los comienzos de este tampoco va a ser perfecto, así como los esfuerzos creativos, esfuerzos, ideas de emprendimiento de cambios en su salud, cambios de cuerpo, cambios de cualquier cambio.

Nunca van a ser perfectos la primera vez. Si tú te acuerdas cuando empezaste a caminar de pronto no porque eras muy chiquito. Muy chiquita. Te vas a dar cuenta de que tus primeros pasos fueron pero terribles, o sea, te caíste miles de veces, pero cómo llegastes allí? Llegastes allí tomando el primer paso.

Esto es algo de que esta persona muy famosa que se llama Colin Grady. Él es una persona increíble que ha cruzado la antártica. Haya hecho unas cosas de correr, pero increíbles el habla del concepto del cero el concepto del 10. Cuando creemos que vamos a lanzar algo, por ejemplo, este yo digo, bueno, mi va a hacer algo que yo quiero establecer para ayudar otras personas a crecer, crecer yo misma y que sea un por que sea que tenga esp.

Respondería que básicamente sea famosa, que sé yo todo el cuento, no todo el cuento que yo me imaginé que sea un 10. El problema es que básicamente nosotros sufrimos un poco de establecer, eh, los primeros pasos no confiamos en esos pasos o nos derrotamos. No seguimos. Y a lo mejor empezamos paso cero paso uno paso dos pero no llegamos al paso 10.

Entonces, para mí súper importante, entender que todos los esfuerzos creativos de emprendimiento o de proyectos que emprendamos o que empecemos siempre siempre van a ser imperfectos. Y esa es la parte bonita, es la polaridad de saber que estás haciendo algo que te estás saliendo de tu zona de seguridad para empezar algo que sabes que está totalmente en armonía con quién eres.

Y eso es lo bonito para mí. Vivir en armonía significa que sabes quién eres. Sabes que estás haciendo algo que es totalmente auténtico a ti, a tus valores, a tus creencias, y que las acciones que están tomando, las cosas que te inspiran te inspiran porque son únicas para ti. Yo, por ejemplo, por el hecho de haber lanzado un no quiere decir que tú lo tengas que hacer de pronto para ti es algo muy totalmente diferente.

Lo mejor es cuidar ancianos o ayudar a niños o crear una caridad o de pronto correr un maratón que nunca lo has hecho. Eso es único para ti. Y eso es lo que significa vivir en armonía. Li in. La MENT significa que estás haciendo cosas que son auténticas para ti y que tú confías constitución con tu guía interna, esas decisiones que haces constantemente para entender si tienes un propósito, cuál es tu propósito y cómo lo puedes aplicar en tu vida para que tengas esa visión tan clara de quién eres.

Y de el legado que quieres dejar para eso. Para mí es lo que significa vivir en armonía. Y quiero que estés aquí en este pot, entendiendo que todos los cambios que vas a pasar y todas las cosas que quieres crear en tu vida existen por una razón, todas las ideas que tienes, los proyectos que quieres empezar existen como un pensamiento por una razón, no son casualidad.

Así que te invito a entender este concepto del cero a 10. Y que cuando tengas esas ideas de 10 que van a ser perfectas, casi que el unicornio de la perfección, entiendas que lo más importante es que continúes del paso cero el paso dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, confiando que el camino existe, que no va a ser perfecto.

Es mejor que empieces. Es mejor que continúes. Eso es lo importante y bueno, básicamente este por va a ser perfecto para personas como te conté anteriormente, que quieren crear una armonía que quieren vivir con su verdadero propósito. Y para mí, esto se trata de la verdad, encontrar un equilibrio adecuado entre tu trabajo o tu vida empresarial y tu vida personal.

Porque lo más importante es mantener tu salud mental que sea próspera, que se activa y que puedas perseguir tus sueños. De una manera tranquila. Yo, cuando empecé mi emprendimiento hace muchos años, yo no sabía cómo yo funcionaba como emprendedora, yo siempre trabajé para otros, no en un trabajo de nueve a cinco.

Siempre me me creí ahora mi mentalidad, mi condicionamiento, mi programación de que yo iba terminar la universidad. Tener un trabajo, conocer una persona, casarme, tener bebés, todo el cuento no. Yo sin darme cuenta. Pues entendí que básicamente es eso. No me está dando la felicidad que yo tenía y me convertí en emprendedor.

Entendí que, bueno, voy a experimentar con esta cosa que sea mi emprendimiento, que en reflexión sabía que lo tenía cuando estaba muy chiquita. Yo de chiquita, eh? A mí me encantaba hacer cosas de emprendimiento. Recuerdo que tenía una cajita de zapatos de cartón donde metió un poquito de trapitos y cositas para limpiar zapatos y le cobraba a mi mamá, mi papá, mi abuela.

Mi hermano dinero para limpiarle esos zapatos. Qué cómico. Luego eso creció cuando me acuerdo que nos mudamos en una ciudad lejana de a Caracas de donde soy yo, donde nací. Yo nos mojamos otra ciudad que se llamaba tu llama torro. Y mis papás compraron una tiendita, una tiendita de cosméticos y la tiendita.

Pues más malo nos pudo ir. No, mis padres pusieron todos sus ahorros. Nos fue tan mal que mi papá. Bueno, se tuvo que regresar a Caracas. Buscaron trabajo mientras mi mamá. Y trataba de sobrevivir con mi hermano y conmigo en ese momento yo decía bueno, nada, voy a, voy a tratar ver como ayuda. Ni una amiguita mía.

Estaba haciendo colitas de caballo, esas de telas que se usaban en los que era en los 90 más o menos que están de moda. Por supuesto, otra vez. Y bueno, nada. Yo le dije bueno, qué tal si tú me das algunas a ver si las vendo? Y si las vendo, te pago. Te pago el precio, vale, el precio, pero yo me quedo evidentemente con la ganancia.

Y eso hice, lo hice, lo hice y me acuerdo que también compré lápices y los vendí. Y te juro que ese dinero ayudó a mi mamá, mi hermano a mí, para poner comida en la mesa muchas semanas, muchos días, porque la pobre tiendita no hacía casi de dinero. Y de eso cuando me convertí en adolescente, si conocen a bon yo no sé si a bon existe.

Por favor, alguien que me diga si Avon existe. Yo tenía este. Este catálogo de Avon lo llevaba a mi escuela y se lo da a mis maestras y ellas me compraban cositas en el catálogo. Me acuerdo esta profesora super linda Isabel. Ella me compraba muchísimas cosas del catálogo y mis vecinas yo se los daba.

Me acuerdo que una vez fui la vendedora número uno de de la región en donde yo estaba en Caracas y me gané. No sé cuántos premios. Yo estaba super feliz, pero básicamente este deseo de emprendimiento lo dejé porque tenía un condicionamiento y una programación muy fuerte tanto de mis padres como de sus padres, de los padres, de sus padres y de todo alineado de nuestra familia.

Donde había una creencia que bueno, te tienes que graduarte, tienes que trabajar para una empresa importante. Tienes que hacer todas estas cosas. Pero bueno, yo lo hice. La verdad la pasé muy bien. Yo aprendí muchísimo y estoy muy afortunada agradecida haber tenido esa experiencia porque casi 20 años. Pero básicamente me di cuenta de que yo era una empresaria de corazón que yo era una persona muy creativa.

Aquello era una persona muy visionaria y aquello era una persona que necesitaba hacer otra cosa. Entonces, para mí, es que entiendas que vivir en alineamiento o en vivir en armonía se trata de entender de que. A lo mejor, estás en un momento de transición en tu vida en el que sientes que no estás viviendo en armonía y que no estás viviendo así en la alineación contigo misma o contigo mismo.

Y es normal, nos pasa, nos ha pasado a todos. Pero lo importante es que tomes una decisión de tratar de conocerte a ti más de saber quién eres, de cuáles son tus valores. Cuáles son tus creencias? Cuál es tu propósito? O si tienes varios propósitos? Yo, por ejemplo, tengo varios propósitos. No solamente tengo el uno.

Entonces, para mí, mi objetivo es tratar de ayudarte con la verdad. Consejos prácticos, historias de mi propia vida y guiarte en esa sanación de traumas. Crecimientos de negocios y de que encuentres tu propósito y la auto realización de que tu camino es lindo y que puedas descubrir poco a poco tu sabiduría interior y que puedas lograr tus sueños.

Esa es mi meta. Esa es el objetivo de estar aquí y de ayudarte a ti. Si eres una persona creativa y con propósito de que quieras comenzar un emprendimiento con. La salud mental, pero lindísima y que funcione super bien. Si yo te puedo decir una cosa que me cambió la vida fue trabajar en mi salud mental.

Cómo emprendedora yo a mí me hubiese encantado. Haber empezado mi camino de emprendimiento sabiendo que mi meta número uno no era tener una lista de clientes que no era tener una lista de una página de i con, no sé cuánta gente que me siga, que no sé todas estas cosas que son importantes lanzar nuestro negocio.

Esas cosas son buenísimas. Pero si yo hubiese sabido que mi objetivo número uno era tener una salud mental y un sistema nervioso totalmente regulado, yo hubiese trabajado en eso, pues desde el principio, porque recuerdo cómo sufrí cómo mi salud mental sufrió y ha sufrido de ansiedad. Estrés de depresión.

De tantas cosas que hubiesen podido prevenir. Si yo hubiese entendido, que bueno, tener una salud mental es la primera prioridad de un emprendedor. Y por qué te cuento? Por qué? Porque al principio vas a ser solamente tú. A lo mejor tienes un cómo se dice en español? Yo no sé cómo se dice en inglés. Dice que es otra persona con la que empiezas la empresa.

Y básicamente te das cuenta de que eres tú, tu empresa, eres tú y tú eres tu empresa. Y si tú no estás bien, tu empresa no va a estar bien. Y si empiezas a dormir mal, si empiezas a comer mal, si empiezas a sentirte de que estás haciendo cosas que la verdad no están alineadas a tu propósito, te vas a dar cuenta que cómo va tu salud mental y tu sistema nervioso será afectado como consecuencia.

Por ejemplo, cuando empecé a stuar one, yo empecé sin saber qué quería hacer. Yo tenía conocimientos muy buenos y muy muy valorados en el área de transformación digital en el área de comunicación en el área de mercadeo en el área de experiencia a los consumidores. Y eso. Yo lo tomé como un concepto que utilicé para mi empresa en ese momento, consultoría para empezar a ofrecer servicios, pero yo estaba super perdida.

Yo empecé a tratar de, bueno, yo digo, bueno, quiero ayudar a es pequeñas empresas, pero las pequeñas empresas pues no tiene ni el dinero ni entienden este concepto tan abstracto que yo estaba usando en el área corporativa trabajando para empresas super grandes como Microsoft, como semans como Bayer. Como on estas empresas tan grandes con las que trabajaba yo.

Y me di cuenta básicamente que me gustaba. Me gustaba muchísimo sobre todo el tema, Dell, experiencia del consumidor. Pero el problema fué de que básicamente yo no, no me entendía suficientemente en ese momento para entender que esa parte yo era muy buena. Hacerlo, pero no me daba, digamos, la felicidad que otras áreas me dan.

Por ejemplo, como esta área de conocimiento de emprendimiento de crecimiento personal de sanación de salud mental, todas estas cosas me llenan de una vitalidad, pero muchísimo más grande. Entonces. Mi invitación es siempre que trates de entenderte a ti, que siempre experimentos con una idea que que tú pienses que te va a ayudar muchísimo en pensar un negocio, empezar algo.

Quieres hacer al lado, pero que también comprendes que hay unas causas que te van a guiar como emprendedor y que las tienes que entender para tratar de lo que más puedas establecer un negocio. Una empresa o un proyecto creativo que esté totalmente en armonía con quién eres. Deo se trata. Entonces, para mí, básicamente este es de crecimiento personal, como ya conté, pero también es para que nosotros podamos crear un mundo mejor para nosotros y también para nuestro futuras generaciones.

Y es importante comprender las causas fundamentales de las desigualdades sistémicas, elevar la conciencia y eliminar nuestro propio acondicionamiento. Así que podamos desempeñar un papel en la creación de una sociedad más, más, más libre, más sana, más equitativa. Así que mi invitación es bueno, descubramos juntos que tenemos el poder de ser los creadores de nuestro propio destino y crear un efecto en el universo, porque nosotros, cada uno de nosotros quien establezca ese sentimiento de vivir en armonía, eso se va a repetir como cuando tiras esas piedritas en el agua y ves esos esos circuns que se forman, esos culitos se van a continuar en el universo.

Así que para mí es importante que naveguemos todos estos desafíos que nos están pasando en nuestras vida personales, los desafíos del mundo juntos y que no nos sintamos solo y que la curación personal, tanto individual como colectiva y ancestral es posible, y que esas cosas son importantes para ti para que te conviertas en tu propio jefe.

Si eso es lo que quiera, jefe, jefa, o que también te ayude a cenar las cosas que quieres sanar. Así que para mí, mi objetivo es compartir cosas buenísimas de mi vida. Pues buenísimas y a lo mejor lo que tú piensas que no son tan buenas. Yo siempre pienso que las cosas que nos pasan en la vida nos pasan para nosotros.

Eso es lo que quiere decir, es que yo entiendo que a veces esas cosas se pueden ver como un, como algo malo, como un una cosa que no es tan bueno. Pero para mí, yo siempre hay una oportunidad. Y es lo que quiero que también veas la oportunidad que existen detrás de esas cosas que a lo mejor se sienten un poquito negativas de pronto y que puedas crear tú camino espiritual y de demostrarte un poquito como yo, como una latina que vive aquí en Australia, he empezaba mi camino a ser la primera, la primera persona en mi línea de familia de tener su primer millón de dólares.

Y para ayudarte a vivir una vida plena. El tema del millón de dólares es algo muy cómico que yo establecí hace un poco hace un par de años. Porque sí, siento sobre todo para las mujeres de mi lineado de mi familia. Siento que soy yo, la persona que va a cambiar todas estas, estos condicionamiento y programación que ha existido en nuestra nuestra raza de mi familia.

Y quiero que eso exista para acudir yo a liberar. Las cosas para la futura generaciones, pero también liberar a mis ancestros que no pudieron hacer lo que yo estoy haciendo por diferentes razones. Así que ese es mi legado, ayudarlo a ellos, ayudar las personas de mi, de mi familiar y a lo mejor también es algo que tú quieras hacer.

Es algo que yo me siento muy con mucha pasión y que me encanta muchísimo hablar de ello. Yo siento una conexión muy cercana a mis raíces. Ahora no es algo la verdad que lo sentí antes. Tan profundo como lo siento ahora, sentí que por mucho tiempo me perdí en este mundo anglosajón, digamos donde me fui a Londres.

Como que totalmente viví en una cultura muy distinta a la mía. Después me mudé a Australia, una cultura muy distinta a la mía y perdí mi voz. Perdí mi voz, perdí mis raíces. No lo hice a propósito. Estas cosas. Yo creo que no, no las planea. Pasan como que en auto piloto, como digo yo. Pero sí quiero que tanto para mí como para ti, sea una idea de lo mejor de crecimiento personal.

Sea una idea de establecer y conectarnos un poco más con nuestras raíces y transformar nuestras vías de una manera auténtica de una manera linda y de una manera, pues, que te llene de tanta alegría como me ha llenado a mí, cambiar mi vida y acercándome mucho más a mis ancestros y acercándome mucho más a mi legado.

Así que mi propósito es, pues, ayudarte ayudarte a ti en tu crecimiento personal y en tu crecimiento espiritual. Mientras creas un negocio, un emprendimiento que está totalmente en armonía con quién eres. Ese es mi objetivo. Entonces, antes de que me despida, te quiero hacer una pregunta, qué significa para ti vivir en armonía?

Que me escribas en mi i o quiero que me mandes un correo a mi ale, wi check a q, a o co. Yo voy tratar de en español porque no lo he dicho. Creo que no ha dicho este correo en español nunca antes alewiecek@sqrone.com.au lo hice Jay, quiero que me escribas qué significa el vivir en armonía.

Y también me puedes escribir en Instagram. Y también quiero que me digas de este concepto el que hablamos del cero a 10. Cuál es esa visión que es un 10? Y qué paso puedes tomar hoy para empezar ese primero paso que sería tu paso cero. Es el proyecto que es un 10 y cuál sería el paso que puedes empezar hoy que sería un cero?

Acuérdate que es importante empezar y si que esperamos a a estar listos, estaríamos esperando por el resto de nuestras vidas. Con eso me quiero despedir. Muchísimas gracias, por favor, escríbeme y me encantaría responder. Haz tu pregunta tus dudas y bueno, muchísimas gracias y nada. Nos vemos en el próximo episodio.

Embracing our ego's voice can sometimes lead us to take action even when our intuition suggests otherwise. It is acknowledged that we all encounter moments when our ego's influence is felt, sometimes driving us to proceed despite reservations.

You'll also learn how to distinguish between decisions driven by fear and self-doubt, typical of ego-driven choices, and those guided by calm and logical intuition.

Remember that your ego is not your enemy. It's a part of you that ensures your safety so strive to make decisions with empathy and love and find a balance between your ego's voice and the gentle guidance of your intuition.

"Exposure therapy is grounded in gradually and systematically exposing you to objects, situations, or experiences that would invoke fear of anxiety, but in a safe and controlled environment." – Ale Wiecek Rojo

"When you want to launch a new business, it is a total dance with the unknown. It is a combination of excitement for financial freedom and tension that comes with venturing into something unfamiliar." – Ale Wiecek Rojo

"Remember, business doesn't have to be perfect but you must put it out there and get a bit of a sense for how customers are potentially reacting to it." – Ale Wiecek Rojo

Ikigai is not a mere buzzword. It's the heart of an entrepreneur's journey. Our Ikigai is different for all of us, but one thing we have in common is that we are all searching for meaning.

I opened up about my personal gratitude journey, which truly took flight amid the challenges that 2020 brought. Through practices like hypnotherapy, I discovered that gratitude isn't merely about listing things to be thankful for, but about embodying the profound feeling that accompanies those moments.

Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.

You are going to learn the practical ways to incorporate gratitude into your daily life, the science behind gratitude, and how it affects our brain and energy. You will also understand the significance of embracing gratitude and how it shifts our perspectives in creating a positive and nurturing environment for our dreams to flourish.

You and I will break down the three components of a gratitude practice and the significant factors as to why we must strive to incorporate it into our lives. We will also touch on the transforming influence of the Three Ps practice that will us cultivate gratitude even in the midst of unfavorable circumstances.

Together, let's learn how practicing gratitude can help us transform our energy, rewire our brains for positivity, and manifest the life we truly desire.

Entrepreneurship is often portrayed as an exciting journey filled with opportunities, innovation, and success. However, beneath the surface lies a reality that many entrepreneurs face—various challenges. It has been said that entrepreneurship is a roller coaster ride of emotions. Entrepreneurs go through many emotional highs and lows, from the excitement and enthusiasm of a new enterprise to the frustration and sadness of setbacks. Therefore, we must realize that our emotions don't define our life's purpose and human value. We must also practice self-care and meditation, foster a support network, and cultivate a growth mindset. Because as our guest speaker says, "We have the power to change our current situation. And we are in control of ourselves more than we think."

Our guest for this episode is Scout Sobel, a trailblazer in the media industry for utilizing Podcast Tours as a powerful form of PR. She founded Scout's Agency in February 2019 after recognizing the power of podcasting as a long-form, intimate medium for founders to tell their stories and expand their businesses. Her signature Podcast Tours™ places female entrepreneurs as guests on podcasts. Over the past three and a half years, Scout's Agency has grown 600% since year one, booked over 2,000 podcast episodes, cultivated a database of over 5,000 podcasts, and has run over 150 Podcast Tours™ under Scout's leadership. Scout has also lived with bipolar disorder for the last 15 years. She was once unable to function in society. Still, after finding entrepreneurship and taking radical responsibility for her emotions, Scout can now live a life of purpose. She is the author of the bestselling book, The Emotional Entrepreneur: The Emotional Guidebook to Entrepreneurship, the host of The Emotional Entrepreneur Podcast, and the co-host of the top-charting podcast, Okay Sis.

Join us as we dive into the fascinating power of our emotions and how it adds value to our entrepreneurial success. Let us learn from the life of an empowered woman who helped entrepreneurs effectively navigate the highs and lows of their emotions. Indeed, Scout's expertise will greatly benefit everyone who aims to find the right business that fits them and that they can effectively perform with satisfaction and fulfillment.

El agotamiento es un problema generalizado que afecta a todos en diversas profesiones, incluidos los emprendedores y creativos. A pesar de trabajar en tus pasiones y estar impulsado por el entusiasmo, no eres inmune a los efectos perjudiciales del agotamiento, ya que los emprendedores y creativos a menudo invierten una cantidad significativa de energía emocional en su trabajo, lo que lleva al agotamiento emocional.

Pero hay luz al final del túnel. El agotamiento no es un destino inevitable. En cambio, es algo que podemos mitigar y superar.

Juntos brindaremos formas prácticas para ayudarte a desatar tu potencial, sanar traumas pasados y crear una vida en perfecta armonía con tu verdadero yo y tu legado. Mi objetivo es ayudarte a ti a superar el agotamiento y el estrés, lograr claridad, vitalidad y armonía. Entonces, si estás pensando, dejar tu trabajo, empezar o llevar tu negocio al siguiente nivel mientras cuidas tu salud mental, Living in Alignment entregará.

Y mucho más un episodio a la vez. Este es el comienzo de tu nueva vida.

Hola, qué alegría de tenerte aquí en este viaje de auto descubrimiento. Exploración profesional. Inspiración emprendedora. Ya sea que estés considerando una nueva carrera, lanzando un negocio, comenzando un proyecto paralelo, este episodio de hoy va a ser un recurso muy bueno y un recurso clave para encontrar tu propósito.

Es uno de los pasos que explico en mi protocolo. De Cómo encontrar tu propósito? Por un momento, quiero que te imagines esto, no que te despiertas por la mañana. Estás lleno de alegría y emoción. Estás ansiosa por enfrentar el día porque estás haciendo un trabajo que realmente se alinea con tus pasiones, valores y fortalezas.

No es sólo un trabajo. Una carrera es una vocación que te brinda alegría y significado y un sentido de realización. Son increíble, no? Entonces te preguntas por qué no me puedo sentir de esta manera tan increíble y esta claridad increíble todos los días. Y hay una buena razón. De pronto, no sabes cuál es tu propósito.

La buena noticia es que tú también puedes encontrar ese sentimiento de claridad y de propósito. Y todo comienza a obtener claridad y alineación con tu propósito de vida. Esa es el primer paso y no puedo decir más claramente lo suficiente lo importancia de amar una vida alineada con tu propósito. Una vida alineada con tu propósito te permite perseguir las cosas que realmente te llenan de alegría, te llenan de felicidad y te llenan de muchos valores y entusiasmo para seguir el reconocido autor sa, Simon Sinek, conferencista sobre el di liderazgo y emprendimiento enfatiza, por ejemplo, la importancia de conocer tu propósito en el prendimiento.

Él dice: trabajar arduamente por algo que no nos importa. Se llames tres. Trabajar arduamente por algo que amamos. Se llama pasión. La fundadora de Spankm Sarah Blakely ella dice creo que la clave del éxito está en encontrar algo que te inspire a ti y a los demás. Debe ser algo por lo que no sólo sientas pasión, sino que también tengas un sentido de propósito cuando tienes esa claridad.

Es increíble lo que puedes lograr. Y lo que esto quiere decir, amigos, es que lo importancia encontrar algo que traiga tanto pasión personal como un sentido de propósito. Es enfatizar que alinear tu trabajo, tu empresa, lo que hagas con algo que no sólo te despierta en las mañanas lleno de entusiasmo, sino que también tiene un impacto positivo en los demás.

Puede ser exactamente lo que estás buscando en tu vida. Y existen numerosos estudios que hable sobre la conexión entre el propósito, la felicidad, la realización y la claridad profesional. Por ejemplo, un estudio publicado en el journal prolog en el dice. Que encontraron que las personas que tienen un claro sentido de propósito en la vida experimentan niveles más altos de satisfacción y bienestar.

En otro estudio, por ejemplo, publicado en el journal de education Behaviour en el ellos, exploraron la relación al de trabajo como una vocación, la satisfacción con la vida y el compromiso profesional. Sus allá hallazgos indicaron que percibir el trabajo como una vocación que implica un fuerte sentido de propósito se asociaba con una mayor satisfacción con la vida y compromiso con la carrera.

Y yo siempre digo que, por ejemplo, emprendimiento no es para todos. Para mí, emprendimiento es mi carrera. No sólo es mi carrera, es mi vida, es como, soy, es como, me quiero morir. Ser una empresaria. Y especialmente para las personas que quieren explorar emprendimiento, tienen que explorar si emprendimiento es parte de su propósito, porque yo siempre digo, ser un emprendedor no es para todo ser un empresario empresaria no es para todo.

Te quiero contar una historia de una de nuestras estudiantes que después de pasar innumerables meses, explorando una idea de negocio y que ella quería lanzar una empresa, quería lanzar una empresa, pero algo no cuadraba. Ella empezó a darse cuenta que ella no quería un negocio. Ella lo que quería era como una, una forma de utilizar su creatividad en algo que estuviera profundamente conectado con sus valores, debilidad y sus creencias.

Entonces, esto es importante porque a veces hasta empresarios que empiezan a hacer empresarios se dan cuenta que no, no, no es su propósito. Algo no está, pero algo no está bien. Y muchas personas que están en un trabajo de nueve a cinco tienen que hacer otra cosa porque es más alineado a su propósito.

Entonces yo quiero que empieces a pensar cómo puedes comenzar una una nueva carrera que se alinea perfectamente con tus pasiones, una nueva carrera, un nuevo camino, que no te tengas que levantar los lunes con esa rabia o con ese fastidio, pero que te despiertes con entusiasmo. Emocionada, emocionado por sumergirte en tu trabajo.

Porque con quien eres in, tu esencia es literalmente algo que está dentro de ti. Y al encontrar esta nación con tu propósito, te vas a dar cuenta que puedes desbloquear este potencial inexplorado y aprovechar tus talentos naturales. Y vas a abrir un camino hacia un crecimiento y un éxito sin precedentes.

Por qué? Porque estás haciendo algo que está alineado con tu propósito. Ahora seguro que tú me preguntas. Ale, esto suena genial, pero cómo puedo conocer mi propósito? A ver el episodio de hoy, se va a tratar especialmente el primer paso de cómo conocer tu propósito, y es un paso que te va a ayudar a evaluar tu nivel de claridad hacia tu propósito.

Esto es crucial, especialmente cuando te aventura en una nueva carrera, un emprendimiento, proyectos paralelos o sientes que algo tiene que cambiar, que algo no está funcionando. Porque cuando tienes esta claridad sobre tu propósito, cada paso que da se vuelve intencional y vas a estar motivada motivado por un profundo sentido de significado de tu esencia.

Es como tener una brújula que te mantiene en el camino, incluso ante los momentos de desafío. Una sencilla evaluación pasada en cinco afirmaciones que te ayudará a evaluar tu situación en cuanto a tu propósito. Y te voy a dar estas siete afirmaciones, te las voy a decir, son como preguntas y me va a dar una escala entre uno y cinco, y lo puedes hacer conmigo en este memento.

Puedes darle pausa al episodio. O si quieres, puedes ir a mi página web www.sqrone.com.au y bajar este misma. Esta misma fórmula que te voy a dar en este memento y la puedes hacer en el memento que quiera. La puedes repetir cuando quieras, cuando quieras. Vale, listo, estás lista? Vamos a hacerlo.

La primera pregunta es la siguiente, el trabajo empleo o carrera que estoy haciendo en este momentos me apasiona del uno, el cinco, uno totalmente en desacuerdo o cinco? Totalmente de acuerdo. Pregunta número dos, tengo una comprensión clarísima del legado que quiero dejar atrás. Uno totalmente en desacuerdo o cinco?

Totalmente de acuerdo. Pregunta tres. Tengo una buena idea de mi fortalezas y mis talentos únicos. Uno totalmente en desacuerdo o cinco. Totalmente acuerdo entre uno y cinco. Qué número estás? Dos, tres, cuatro. Qué número pregunta número, tengo una visión clara de mi vida y busco activamente formas de convertir mi visión en mi realidad del uno al cinco.

Uno totalmente en desacuerdo y cinco totalmente de acuerdo. Cinco. Mis actividades y estilo de vida actual es se alinean con mis metas, valores y fortaleza entre uno y cinco. Uno, siendo totalmente en desacuerdo y cinco totalmente de acuerdo. Pregunta, tengo una compresión clara de cuál es mi propósito y qué me brinda felicidad y realización.

Entre uno y cinco totalmente en desacuerdo, uno o cinco. Totalmente de acuerdo. La última pregunta, pregunta número siete, conozco la sensación de descubrir mi propósito o mis propósitos en la vida? Uno totalmente en desacuerdo. O cinco totalmente de acuerdo en dónde estás allí. Vale, una vez que tenga ya todos, resulta todos los resultados.

Una vez que hayas respondido todas las afirmaciones, todas esta pregunta, quiero que sumes todos los valores de tus respuestas y que lo dividas entre siete. Cuando tenga sed en ese número, te dará un puntaje promedio que reflejará tu nivel de claridad y alineación con tu propósito de vida. Lo sé, es buenísimo.

A ver, te voy los resultados para que veas dónde estás. Está listo? Lista? Vamos. Si tienes entre unidos, es posible que no tengas claridad sobre tu propósito de vida o lo que deseas lograr todavía. Puede que necesites pasar algo. Pasa algún tiempo reflexionando sobre tus metas, tus valores, tus intereses y explorar nuevas actividades o experiencias que tengan pronto más alineadas con tus deseos.

Y tus aspiraciones más profundas. Es muy importante que no te sientas abrumado, que te sientas triste por no todavía tener esa claridad. Esto el hecho de que estás aquí escuchando este episodio y haciendo esto odia o sea, es buenísimo, así que no te rindas. Okey, si tienes una respuesta entre tres y cuatro, tienes cierta claridad y alienación con tu propósito de vida.

Pero puede haber arias en la que puedas mejorar. Tal vez quieras evaluar tus actividades. Tu estilo de vida actual es para asegurarte de que estás en consonancia con tus metas y con tus valores y empieces a identificar cualquier obstáculo o desafío que puede estar ocu deslizando tu progreso. Vale, si tienes un número sin coques la la mayor.

Tienes un fuerte sentido de claridad y alienación con tu propósito de vida. Y es probable que estés avanzando regularmente hacia tus metas. Puedes seguir evaluando tus acciones y elecciones para asegurarte de que estás en consonancia con tus deseos y aspiraciones más profundas. Y puedes encontrar formas de amplificar lo que tiene.

Es esta claridad que tienes y crear ese sentido de, guau. Estoy super clara o super claro en lo que quiero a ver. Que recuerdes que esta evolución es solo el punto de partida de tu viaje a entender tu emprendimiento. Quiero que aceptes con un corazón y una mente abierta que te encuentras en un camino hermoso y este camino te va a llover a mejorar.

Este camino te va a guiar un mejor camino. Y este camino de propósito te va a ser hermoso, pero también puede ser un poquito desafiante porque te pide, nos pide que dejemos las versiones de nosotros que ya no somos. Puede que nos pida dejar versiones de nosotros que ya no están en nación como nuestro propósito.

Y eso requiere mucha calma, mucha armonía interna y un sentido de claridad y un sentido de amor. Y bueno, te quiero decir que esto puede suceder, y quiero que decirte que es normal, que es normal y nada malo te va a pasar. De hecho, todo lo mejor te va a suceder cuando empieces a vivir tu armonía, tu propósito día a día, aunque tengas que dejar versiones de ti, que de pronto, pues te te han definido hasta este memento de vida.

Pero esas versiones de vida ya no están en tu propósito. No es parte de tu propósito. Entonces te quiero hacer esta pregunta. Si está listo, si estás lista para desbloquear tu verdadero potencial, buscar un trabajo, una carrera o lo que sea que te llene de propósito y vivir una vida de al alineación y plenitud.

Quiero que no solo escuches este episodio, quiero que te hagas ales. Próximo episodio, voy a profundizarse en la compresión de tus valores y pasiones. Vamos a explorar formas prácticas de alinear tu carrera o tu negocio con tu propósito, pero también. Quiero que te hagas la pregunta, qué pasa si, si yo tengo más de un propósito?

Por ejemplo, yo, yo tengo más de un propósito. Qué hacemos? Qué hacemos si tenemos más de un propósito y te tengo la respuesta perfecta, puedes obtener una copia de la evaluación en www o com slash. Y déjame. Saber tu puntadas en tus comentarios en los comentarios los puede dejar en el website. Estoy muy emocionada de apoyarte en tu viaje emprendimiento.

Así que hasta la próxima, nos vemos en el otro episodio Bye bye.

Entonces, si estás pensando, dejar tu trabajo, empezar o llevar tu negocio al siguiente nivel mientras cuidas tu salud mental, Living in Alignment entregará eso y mucho más.

Un episodio a la vez. Este es el comienzo de tu nueva vida.

Hola, bienvenido a otro episodio de Living in Alignment. Y qué contenta estoy hoy de verdad? Hablaré con ustedes de uno de los temas que me apasiona más, que es buscar y encontrar tu propósito. Tú te sientes un poquito perdido o buscando esa chispa de propósito. Que sientes que debería existir para encender ese fuego creativo que necesitas.

Créeme que no está solo. Y créeme que hay maneras de encontrar tu propósito. El camino para encontrar tu propósito puede ser emocionante también, como puede ser un poquito desafiante, la verdad, porque nos dice que nos hace olvidar cosas, olvidar la verdad, dejar cosas que sabemos que no. Están alineadas a nuestro propósito.

Y esas cosas pueden ser un poquito desafiantes porque básicamente tenemos que dejar hacer cosas que, bueno, no están alineadas con nosotros. Así que el episodio de hoy es para guiarte en este viaje. Ya estoy por descubrir tu propósito. Y hoy vamos a empezar con eso. Si escuchastes el episodio anterior, el episodio número dos en el que estaba hablando del propósito en ese episodio, me enfoqué muchísimo, eh, explicar cómo puedes entender qué tan cerca estás a tu propósito, saber si estás super cerca, super claro o claro o si estás pues ni idea.

Y está bien, no hay una respuesta, digamos, ni mala ni buena. Pero si no has escuchado ese episodio, te recomiendo que lo busques. Lo escuche. Episodio número dos. Y allí hay un recurso que te va a ayudar un montón. Lo puedes bajar o lo puedes hacer literalmente en vivo. Me escuchas mi voz en el episodio del episodio y te va a dar un número y ese número te va a indicar qué tan cerrado que tan lejos estás de saber tu propósito.

Es un recurso súper práctico. Es un recurso super bueno, y te invito a que lo uses, porque si lo haces, vas a entender muchísimo más este episodio de hoy. Y te va a ayudar muchísimo a descifrar cuál es tu propósito a ver hoy, quiero empezar la verdad a sumergirnos en el concepto de tu puercos y el concepto de de tu propósito es algo que tienes que entender, y es algo que tienes que comenzar a entender para entender la verdad.

¿Quién quién debería ser o cómo deberías actuar o qué cosas deberías hacer? Vale? Porque si entiendes eso, vas entonces a empezar a tener esa conexión con tu ausencia, vas a tener iniciativas, ideas, proyectos, carreras, negocios, pasiones, lo que sea. Que están totalmente alineados a tus pasiones alineados, a tus talentos alineado a tus valores, y te va a impulsar una vida mucho más llena de significado y una vida mucho más plena.

Entonces, hoy quiero que hablemos de este concepto, especialmente yo creo que el concepto de propósito es super bueno para todos, pero quiero enfocar que, bueno, evidentemente este sobre todo es para personas que son creativas, fe, lances y emprendedores, porque yo sí, siento que si estás haciendo algo. En el mundo creativo o estás iniciando algo, quieres tratar de iniciar algo y no tienes ni idea cuál es tu propósito, pues te va a ser muy difícil a lo mejor encontrar ese entusiasmo cuando estás haciendo cosas que sientes como que más bien te quitan energía en vez de darte energía.

Entonces quiero que empieces a soñar porque el sueño, sé que tienes de que te puedes despertar cada mañana lleno de emoción y con propósito, sabiendo que el trabajo que vas a hacer está totalmente alineado perfectamente con quién eres en tu esencia. Es posible. Es posible porque me ha pasado a mí. Es posible porque yo lo he logrado.

Es posible porque he visto muchas personas de nuestros estudiantes que lo han logrado. Y yo quiero que tú sientas esta pasión interna, este poder interno y quieres que te permita aprovechar esta oportunidad, encontrar tus talentos y tus pasiones innatas, y ellos se van a desatar ese tu potencial máximo creativo y va a generar un impacto muy positivo en el mundo.

Que va a ser un poquito difícil a lo mejor, porque al principio, como te comenté, a lo mejor tienes que dejar un trabajo que no te gusta. Tienes que irte de una ciudad que ya no que no, no, no te está ayudando en lo absoluto. Montones de cosas pueden pasar, vale? Pero es importante que lo hagas. Entonces, tu pregunta a lo mejor, de pronto es ale.

Finísimo suena buenísimo. Pero cómo encuentro mi propósito? Entonces, hoy quiero que exploremos cinco pasos para que puedas encontrar tu propósito. Puedes empezar esa guía en este viaje de autodescubrimiento y de propósito. Así que te voy a explicar el primer paso. El paso número uno, que es auto reflexión e infracción.

Este paso para mí es crucial. Es crucial porque involucra un sentido de auto reflexión e introspección que para muchos puede ser difícil para muchos puede costar. Pero si tú tomas el tiempo para explorar tus pasiones, valores y talentos únicos, y empiezas a hacerte preguntas como, por ejemplo, qué me trae alegría?

¿Qué actividades me hacen perder la noción del tiempo? Qué impacto aspiro a crear. Cuando tengas respuestas a estas preguntas, vas a tener por unas respuestas super valiosas y esas respuestas te van a ayudar a solicitar cuál podría ser tu verdadero propósito si tú, por ejemplo, haces preguntas a tus amigos.

Yo, por ejemplo, pregunta a mis papás de mi hermano todo el tiempo. ¿Cómo era yo de chiquita? Qué me gustaba hacer que no me gustaba hacer que me que era super fácil para mí lograr hacer o proyectos? ¿Qué? ¿Qué sé yo? Cualquier cosita no me da mucha información porque me involucran en, digamos mi, o sea, como era yo de pequeña.

Y usualmente las cosas que yo ahora sé que me gustan hacer como adulta y que son parte de mi propósito que hacían de chiquita, pues están muy muy involucradas, por ejemplo, el área de emprendimiento y cosas así. El segundo paso que quiero que empieces a entender es cómo puedes abrazar y cómo involucrarte con tus pasiones y con tu talento.

Digamos el momento de magia va a ser cuando empieces a identificar las áreas que tus pasiones y tu talento, las áreas en que las estas dos áreas se cruzan. Por ejemplo, qué actividades creativas o habilidades profesionales encienden una llama dentro de ti que combinan tus pasiones y tus talentos.

Puedes empezar a abrazar estas pasiones y talentos con todo el corazón. Y eso te va a ayudar. Podríamos tener señales en el camino que te van a ayudar a entender tu propósito un poquito más para mí, por ejemplo, me encanta, digamos, me encanta bailar, pero yo sé que bailar no es parte no es bueno, digamos talento.

Tampoco es que soy una profesional, pero me gusta hacerlo. Pero eso no es, no es parte de mi propósito. Es algo que me gusta. Es una pasión que lo hago cuando cuando quiero en mi casa, si salgo a bailar, que nunca salgo a bailar, pero digamos cuando lo hago, me encanta muchísimo. Pero eso no quiere decir que ese es mi propósito.

Entonces tienes que empezar a hacer esta pregunta. La pregunta que quiero que te hagas con este paso específicamente de abrazar tus pasiones y talento es en qué soy naturalmente talentosa o talentosa? Y si no tuviera que ganar dinero, si no tuviera que digamos trabajar para ganar dinero, cómo sería mi día?

¿Qué tal qué cosas hago ese día? Quiero que te hagas esta pregunta porque te va a dar muchas indicaciones de cuáles puede ser tu talento, tus pasiones y tu propósito. Vale. El tercer paso es alinearse con tus valores. Un mito que quiero hablar aquí es que mucha gente, sobre todo en el ámbito de crecimiento personal, dicen que entiendes tus valores y entiendes tu propósito.

Y yo no estoy muy de acuerdo con eso. Para mí personalmente, entender tus valores es básicamente tener como variables de que cuando alguien se te acerque, diga mira, quieres hacer este proyecto juntos o quieres aplicar para este trabajo o quieres empezar esta empresa o quieres hacer esto o lo que sea, o.

O el mundo te da, digamos estas estos momentos, el que tú tienes que tomar una decisión, tus valores van a jugar un va a tener un papel muy importante porque, por ejemplo, para mí, trabajar o digamos en cuando, en mis áreas en mis años de consultora, cuando yo trabajaba en mi en mi empresa, digamos, se me acercaba una empresa en el área de tabaco o en el área de cosas que no.

Muy, muy, muy cercana a mis valores. Pues yo decía que no, por lo menos tus valores pueden ser integridad, autenticidad, compasión, sostenibilidad. ¿Qué sé yo? Miles de cosas? No? Pero esos valores, tú los puedes traer en lo que hagas en tu propósito. Es como que si, básicamente cuando uno es una torta y uno le pone las cositas lindas en el tope, eso es todo lo que hagas en la vida.

Todo lo que hagas. Esos valores son como las cositas que pones linda rival, la torta, todo lo que tocas, bastar lleno de tus valores. Cuando empiezas tus valores, te vas a dar cuenta. Y, por ejemplo, en este momento, estás en un trabajo en un proyecto en un emprendimiento que no está alineado con tus valores.

A la par, está la parte importante que si estás haciendo algo que no está digamos alineado con tus valores, pues un momento de analizar, y es un momento de hacer esta auto reflexión. Y esa parte es muy importante. El paso número que te quería hablar hoy es entender o abrazar este crecimiento y la adaptabilidad.

Encontrar tu propósito es un proceso muy dinámico que va a evolucionar con el tiempo. Pero mientras tienes, empiezas a abrazar esta mentalidad de crecimiento y ser abierto o abierto a adaptarte este camino a medidas que no sé que salgan. Oportunidades que te den como que más información a tu propósito te va la verdad ayudar muchísimo.

Para salir de tu zona de confort y explorar territorios desconocidos. Y es importante la verdad que empiezas a entender que proceso encontrar tu propósito no es de una noche de la mañana, y no es algo que vayas a lograr inmediatamente a mí, por ejemplo, en los digamos, los servicios que yo ofrecemos con square one.

El área de propósito para mí son las primeras áreas de trabajo que hay que lograr. A mí me ha encantado mucho esto porque me parece que si no tenemos nuestro propósito, no te vas a adaptar a los diferentes desafíos que te da la vida. Los diferentes proyectos, las diferentes ideas que te salen de la cabeza, sobre todo si eres muy creativo.

Si eres una, una persona que siempre anda pensando con ideas, pero que sufre a lo mejor un poco de implementar esas ideas, entonces tienes que entender cuáles son esas áreas de crecimiento. Y si estás haciendo adaptable la verdad. Encontrar tu propósito y vale, el segundo paso y el último paso que tenía comentar es que confíes en el camino.

Quiero que confíes en este viaje porque este viaje a encontrar tu arma, tu propósito es super único y es super individual para ti. Quiero que confíes en el proceso. Quiero que no te derritas ni que fueras un helado que te derrites, no derrotas. Eso es lo que quería decir que no te derrotes y que tengas fe en tu sabiduría innata, porque para mí, por ejemplo, encontré mi propósito fueron años y años sin años, yo hice un mi yo siempre empujo much muchísimas cosas de que me van a ayudar a mí y que van a ayudar a nuestros estudiantes.

Y un curso muy lindo que no tengo ninguna afiliación en lo absoluto. Fue un curso muy bonito que hice con una chica que se llama Sahara Rose y tiene un podcast. Creo que se llama igual que su nombre. Tiene un curso para encontrar tu propósito en 25 días. Es en inglés, no es en español, pero me pareció super lindo y tiene muchas cositas que ya yo sabía, pero tenía muchas cositas, sobre todo en esta área.

Dharma. Que es un poquito más de combinación con arda y reflexionada y otras cositas super lindas espirituales. Y lo recomiendo totalmente. Y a mí me tocó, digamos, fue como que la digamos el memento de años y años y años de entender muchísimas cosas hacia mí. Pero fue un momento muy lindo de encontrar mi propósito, no encontrarlo, pero como que, ok, reforzar que ese era mi propósito.

Entonces te invito a este tipo de curso, ah, o buscar información dentro de ti y el proceso. Vale, ya cubrimos los cinco pasos. Y después de estos cinco pasos, que es la auto reflexión e introspección, abrazar tus pasiones y talentos, alineación con tus valores, abrazar el crecimiento y la debilidad y confiar en el camino.

Quiero ahora hacerte un par de preguntas, de hecho, voy a hacer cinco preguntas y quiero que agarres papel y lápiz porque estas preguntas te van a dar unas respuestas super importantes para ti. Para entender cuál es tu propósito. Y para empezar poco a poco, acercarse muchísimo más a tu propósito. ¿Estás lista?

¿Estás listo? Vale,

1. Lla primera pregunta es cuál creo que sea mi propósito número? 

2. La segunda, Yo creo que tengo un propósito. ¿Sí o no?

3. La tercera pregunta que amo hacer o me sale naturalmente. Quiero aquí que escribas cualquier cosa que te interese, que te guste, tus pasiones, tus pasatiempos. Si te gusta limpiar tu casa, si te gusta caminar, te gusta practicar yoga.

Si te gustan las tortas, si te gusta cuidar a tus sobrinos los fines de semana, te gusta leer un libro. Si te gusta bailar, si te gusta quedarte en la ducha, más de lo que vería si te gusta despertarte los domingos super temprano para ir una aventura, si te gusta qué sé yo, lo que sea lo que sea, escríbalo.

Tienes que tener por lo menos 50 ideas. Vale, ¿qué amas hacer? Y qué te sale naturalmente? 

4. La cuarta pregunta, quiero que mires esta lista de 50 cosas que escribistes y creo que escribes que encuentres por lo menos tres a cinco temas. Yo te voy a contar. Cuando yo, eh, empiezo a descubrir temas. Los temas son como, como, no sé, como se dice en español, pero partes son como que em, con ideas o nociones que uno siente que se conectan uno con el otro.

Por ejemplo, para mí, salud a nación es un área muy fuerte para mí, tanto para mí como para el. El propósito que tengo es demostrarlo o enseñarselo a las otras personas. El segundo tema para mí, por ejemplo, de esta lista, fué emprendimiento. Me encanta emprender. Me encanta convertir, eh, transformar cosas.

Me encanta crear cosas. Utilizo mis manos, no las puedes ver, pero es eso el sacre ese, ese proceso de creación. Me encanta. Y el tercero. El tercer tema para mí fue impacto, impacto en mi vida como el impacto para otros en impacto en la tierra, el impacto en el universo, el impacto en la sociedad, impactó, hacer en este mundo mucho mejor de lo que del de como es o como llegamos, no?

5. La quinta pregunta es cómo. Interactúan estos tres temas. Quiero que veas estos tres a cinco temas y quiero que te hagas la siguiente pregunta, ¿cómo podrías ganarte la vida con estos temas? Por ejemplo, para mí es hablar en público, facilitar. Ayudar a otros con su vida, con sus carreras, crear negocios creativos.

Y como puedes ver a luis a nación emprendimiento, impacto, cómo, cómo se alinean, cómo están todos? ¿Cómo interactúan? Entonces, esta pregunta la pregunta cinco, te va a dar tanta información, una información tan bonita y una información que de pronto estás prodigamos desesperadamente buscando y quiero que no te desesperes.

Quiero que respires. Quiero que te sientas relajado. Porque éste es un proceso super lindo. Entonces puedes hacerlas. Tocar las preguntas otra vez si necesitas que te las lea primero. Qué? Creo que es mi propósito. El segundo. Creo que tengo un propósito. El tercero, qué amo hacer o qué me sale naturalmente que quiero allí que escribas por lo menos cinco 50 cosas.

La cuarta, quiero que veas esa lista y quiero que veas. Entre tres y cinco temas y la cinco, la quinta pregunta es que quiero que veas, eh, como esos tres o cinco temas interactúan. Y si te podrías ganar la vida con esos temas, ¿qué? ¿Qué? ¿Qué harías? ¿Qué de esa lista podría convertirse en una fuente de ingresos?

Vale, así que es todo esto es todo lo que te quería comentar hoy. Esto es todo lo que te quería decir y me parece lindo que estés en este proceso de crecimiento. Me parece super lindo que estés en este proceso de sanación en este proceso de alineamiento en este proceso de armonía, porque Dios, tenemos una sola vida, por lo menos en esta vida que empezaremos otras o venimos de otras.

Es otro tema, pero en esta vida, vamos a hacerla genial. Vamos a hacer que esta vía sea linda. Vamos a hacer que esta vida se llena de propósito, que esta vida sea llena de sabiduría, delineamiento de alegría, de sabor de todas las cosas lindas que por Dios nos merecemos. Esto es todo lo que te quería contar, querida y querida, muchísimas gracias por estar conmigo hoy.

Y pues nada te dejo aquí y nos vemos en el próximo episodio. Un beso gigante cha cha.

Entrepreneurship is a challenging and demanding journey that often requires us to travel to undiscovered places as its easy to feel isolated, overwhelmed, and burned out in the quest for success.

Many business owners often find it challenging to delegate tasks and responsibilities to others, which often stems from the fear of losing control, lack of confidence in others, and perfectionism but delegation is not a sign of weakness. Instead, it's a sign of strength and wisdom. Recognise that you can't do it all alone and that we need other people's talents and expertise to contribute to our lives so that we can focus on high-impact tasks. 

Ally is a self-proclaimed spreadsheet addict and proud Virgo who lives and breathes organisation in the sunny city of Brisbane. She is a virtual assistant extraordinaire and founder of Bridbane Cheers Squad entrepreneurial events. She's the go-to person for all things about planning and organizational needs. Ally is a graduate of a Bachelor of Business, majoring in both Events Management and International Tourism and Hotel Management, which has proven to be a real asset to her business and clients in the long term. Ally also has her own full-time company, offering personal assistant services to other small businesses across many different industries. 

In 2021, Ally created the Cheer Squad, a movement, networking platform, and an opportunity to mingle and connect with other like-minded entrepreneurs that want to get that support of being in a community and truly understand how they can support each other and be part of the same path of entrepreneurship. 

Ally shared with us how she thrives as a business owner to help entrepreneurs who go through the phase of loneliness, self-doubt, and burnout to find solace and enjoyment in joining events that cultivate meaningful conversations, encouragement, and support from like-minded individuals.

We talked about how to build accountability by being part of a community of like-minded individuals that share their wins and challenges to support and encourage each other in times of conflict.

It has been said that starting your own business is like riding a roller coaster. There are highs and lows; every turn you take is another twist. You have to be strong and ride along the roller coaster you started. Hence, taking a leap of faith to step outside a comfortable job and embark on an entrepreneurial journey is a daunting decision filled with struggles and anxiety. And leaving the stability of a secure job to venture into the unpredictable world of entrepreneurship brings about the uncertainty of the future and the fear of making mistakes. However, we must learn to start prioritizing self-care through investing in ourselves and checking in with our mind, body, and soul to address the root cause of every wound we have within us and be able to reach our full potential to thrive and keep ourselves on the right track.

Our guest for this episode is Valerie Scagliola, a Certified Breathing Coach in the San Francisco Bay Area and Facilitator who teaches breathwork and Somatic practices to help people regulate their nervous system and release stress from their bodies and life. She is on a mission to help everybody improve their physical, mental, and emotional well-being with the power of the breath. Drawing from a collection of Somatic-based healing modalities, she guides her clients to release stored emotions and regulate their nervous systems. 

Her approach uniquely blends pranayama, therapeutic breathing, gentle movement, and self-discovery. Her passion lies in creating a haven for people to be seen, let go, and heal.

Join us as we delve into Valerie's leap into entrepreneurship, the importance of knowing the seven different types of rest and more. Valerie's wisdom and expertise will significantly benefit everyone who aims to experience the healing power of breathwork and how it can help us reduce stress and anxiety, sleep better and release stored emotions specially for those wanting to become their own boss or are a business owner already.

How can working with your spirit guides help you navigate your life's challenges with grace and wisdom?

It has been said that connecting with your spirit guides and tapping into your intuition can be a profound and transformative experience, offering guidance, support, and a deeper understanding of our life's purpose.

Nicolle Merrilyne is a Certified Intuitive Energy Healer, Medium, Meditation Teacher, and Spiritual Mentor who empowers women to heal from past trauma, reclaim their power, tap into their intuition, and elevate spiritually. After a 5-year battle with an abusive relationship, grief, depression, skin, and gut health issues, Nicolle turned to meditation and intuitive healing as a final call for help. Energetic healing changed her life in ways she couldn't even imagine. It gave Nicolle her world back, and it's now her life's work to help others see the light within. Nicolle has helped thousands of people worldwide through her 1:1 healings and readings, her signature 6-week intuition course: AWAKEN, and her 10-week higher level course: ASCEND, online workshops and events, and her spiritual mentorship program.

Today, she enlightens us on how to deal with our dreams, regain clarity and hope, reconnect with our intuition, and find healing in nature.

The menstrual cycle consists of distinct phases, including menstruation, follicular, ovulation, and luteal phase. They play a key role in the productivity and mental health of a business owner and entrepreneur. 

Syncing your working rhythms with your cycles is key to removing burnout, chaos and stress from your business and lives. We must learn to prioritize self-care (luteal phase)  and work with the amazing energy we can have during the follicular and ovulation phase. 

Ale Wiecek Rojo is a visionary leader, speaker, and a mindset and spiritual coaching, innovation, and entrepreneurship mentor. She aims to help people overcome burnout and stress and achieve clarity, vitality, wealth, and alignment. Today, she is passionately committed to empowering purpose-driven entrepreneurs and burnt-out creatives to find their inner wisdom, align their purpose with their business, and positively impact society by addressing systemic inequalities and raising consciousness. 

In this episode, Ale will share her knowledge about her own journey, how hormonal cycles work, and the different strategies you can apply to optimise your productivity throughout the menstrual cycles. We also examined workplace adaptations you as a founder or employee can apply today.

Please seek a medical professional to support you on your hormonal journey. We are not medical professionals.

Sesión de mentoría con Ale: https://calendly.com/alewiecek/lifestrategyjam?back=1&month=2023-06

Trauma is a complex and deeply rooted experience that often lingers within individuals, impacting their mental and physical well-being. It is for that reason that we must feel empowered, to embark on a unique journey toward reclaiming our lives by understanding the intimate connection between trauma and the body. 

We must realize that our body is an intricate repository of experiences that encode memories and emotions that the mind may forget or repress. Therefore, we must recognize the crucial role of the body in the healing process of our emotional pains and embrace the uniqueness of our healing journeys.

Ali Kates is an entrepreneur, certified Trauma Recovery Coach & Somatic Experience Practitioner specializing in caring for the mind and body. In May 2019, Ali's life was turned upside down. Three weeks before their wedding, she was diagnosed with late-stage chronic Lyme and multiple auto immunities. She was spinning. Before this diagnosis, at 22, Ali and her husband lost three people back-to-back to cancer, a hit and run, and a car accident. They went on to lose seven people in 2.5 years. These three deaths were back-to-back, bringing up all of her old pain from childhood that she had shoved down and saved for a rainy day. Thus, in her quest for a remedy to relieve the pain, she found a trauma recovery coach that taught her how to move the emotional charge out of the body. Not only that, she learns about her complex developmental trauma and C-PTSD that she was living with, but how she could find her strength and self again (post-traumatic growth). 

In this episode with Ali Kates, we will discover the different components of therapy and trauma and how we can access various ways to heal our bodies. Understand that our trauma & emotional pain is not just about what happened to us but how it left our nervous system after the event. Today, she shares her own stories, experiences, and tricks centered around becoming the best you. Listen and be inspired to regain control of your life, and remember that it's okay sometimes to feel not okay. We all have some healing to do.

"Even though I have been through sexual trauma, physical trauma, and all these things health complications, I would never go back and say that I don't want this thing to happen because I've learned so much about myself." – Ali Kates
