Bigger Talks, Bigger Talks.
00:00:05
Speaker
Back again for another Bigger Talks podcast episode, and I have the phenomenal Elizabeth Rouse.
00:00:12
Speaker
She's a spiritual investor, intuitive investor.
00:00:15
Speaker
I feel like she understands wealth more than some people understand love,
Wealth as Self-Love
00:00:20
Speaker
right?
00:00:20
Speaker
But she has a quote that being wealthy is a form of self-love.
00:00:25
Speaker
However, Elizabeth, welcome to Bigger Talks podcast.
00:00:28
Speaker
How are you today?
00:00:28
Speaker
How are you feeling?
00:00:30
Speaker
Thank you.
00:00:31
Speaker
Amazing.
00:00:32
Speaker
I'm completely honored to be here.
00:00:34
Speaker
I mean, I was just telling you before we got on here, I love your flow, the vibe.
00:00:39
Speaker
Like I just, you know, I'm in full gratitude that you're even like putting this podcast and your beautiful energy into it.
00:00:46
Speaker
So thank you for this.
00:00:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:00:48
Speaker
Well, thank you.
00:00:50
Speaker
And thank you for being available.
00:00:51
Speaker
And I think the number one thing I believe in life outside of relationships and love is money, right?
00:00:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:00:59
Speaker
So for you as an adolescent, young age, where did your money story start or when did you start building your relationship with money?
Elizabeth's Financial Journey
00:01:07
Speaker
Did you grow up around money or, you know, where did that all start for you?
00:01:11
Speaker
Yeah, when I grew up, I did not grow up in a scarcity environment.
00:01:16
Speaker
You know, you get a lot of people who talk about money who are like, you know, I hit rock bottom and then I built my way back up and all that.
00:01:25
Speaker
There's so many different paths for you to build money.
00:01:28
Speaker
And so I think that that's one of the things to realize is that the amount of money that you have is a function of your self-identity.
00:01:38
Speaker
And so that's what I see.
00:01:40
Speaker
Certain communities stay a certain way.
00:01:43
Speaker
Certain people stay a certain way.
00:01:45
Speaker
That's also why people tend to make the same amount of money month over month over month, because the money we're residing on this frequency based on our self-identity.
00:01:53
Speaker
And that's exactly what we're attracting.
00:01:56
Speaker
And so we'll talk a little bit deeper about that.
00:01:59
Speaker
But for me, you know, I grew up where people talked about money and they didn't do it in a stressful way.
00:02:05
Speaker
But that is also one of the reasons that I am here put on this earth to literally help spiritual people become wealthy because I understand I feel money.
00:02:14
Speaker
I feel the flow of money.
00:02:15
Speaker
I can feel the market.
00:02:16
Speaker
I can feel opportunities.
Path to Financial Independence
00:02:18
Speaker
And so what I do is try and teach people how to get in this energetic flow of money where it becomes effortless and they're not going out and they're not working, having to trade time for money and all of this.
00:02:31
Speaker
So
00:02:32
Speaker
Um, you know, I, I was fortunate in that way.
00:02:36
Speaker
However, I did start from zero though.
00:02:39
Speaker
I didn't start with this.
00:02:40
Speaker
Okay.
00:02:40
Speaker
My parents just dropped $5 million in my account.
00:02:43
Speaker
In fact, um, uh, there was a time, you know, right when I got out of college, I, uh, I
00:02:49
Speaker
I my truck didn't work and I couldn't get to work.
00:02:52
Speaker
And so I was bumming rides and the transmission went out and and then I ended up, you know, fifteen thousand dollars in debt and I was only making like twenty one thousand dollars at the time.
00:03:02
Speaker
And I was like, that doesn't that math doesn't even work out.
00:03:04
Speaker
Right.
00:03:07
Speaker
But I just, I knew because I believed in the flow of money and the circle of abundance, you're putting that value out there.
00:03:15
Speaker
And then you're also willing to receive because I believe so strongly in that.
00:03:19
Speaker
I was like, I just got to stay consistent with it.
00:03:21
Speaker
Right.
00:03:22
Speaker
You know, you noticed I talk about energetic consistency with money.
00:03:25
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:26
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:27
Speaker
So I just kept going and going and building up a little bit at a time and started investing in the stock market.
00:03:33
Speaker
And then what happened is my jobs ended up getting better throughout my 30s.
00:03:39
Speaker
But instead of increasing my living, what I did is I stayed in the same place.
00:03:45
Speaker
I didn't remodel all the appliances and do all that.
00:03:48
Speaker
What I did was I was dumping all the money I possibly could into the real estate market in San Diego.
00:03:56
Speaker
right after the financial crisis.
00:04:01
Speaker
So I started around, yeah, I bought, I guess I bought my first rental in 2009 and then I bought another one in 2011 and 12.
00:04:11
Speaker
And so I just kept kind of going from that.
00:04:13
Speaker
So I was able to utilize real estate to do that.
00:04:17
Speaker
And
00:04:18
Speaker
I'm happy to share all of that, but at the same time, I don't want somebody to think that they can't do something because it's not that time anymore.
00:04:26
Speaker
That was just an opportunity.
00:04:28
Speaker
There's opportunity all the time, right?
00:04:31
Speaker
It's just going to look different now.
00:04:33
Speaker
So I was able to do that.
00:04:34
Speaker
And then I was actually a financial trader.
00:04:37
Speaker
So I traded oil and natural gas.
00:04:39
Speaker
I worked on a trading floor.
00:04:40
Speaker
I didn't wanna keep doing that.
00:04:42
Speaker
It was a great job, but I didn't wanna keep doing it.
00:04:44
Speaker
So what I did was I just kept putting money in the market, putting money in the market, and I bought my way out of it.
00:04:50
Speaker
I decided, I'm like, if I can just put money away for retirement, if I can cover, my cost of living wasn't very high.
00:04:57
Speaker
I can just cover it, my cost of living, then I can make a switch.
00:05:02
Speaker
And that's what I ended up doing is making the switch.
00:05:05
Speaker
I had no plans to teach people money.
00:05:07
Speaker
I was like, I'm just going to take a break.
00:05:09
Speaker
And then I ended up at a birthday kid's birthday party.
00:05:12
Speaker
And someone was like, can you help me with your money?
00:05:15
Speaker
I'm like, no, I don't do that.
00:05:16
Speaker
Well, by the end of it, she talked me into helping her.
00:05:18
Speaker
And then, you know, she ended up doing all these great things.
00:05:21
Speaker
And I was like,
00:05:22
Speaker
I guess that is a signal from the universe right there.
00:05:26
Speaker
And then that was, so now it's seven years later, I'm running a spiritual
Self-Identity and Financial Behavior
00:05:31
Speaker
investor.
00:05:31
Speaker
So, yeah.
00:05:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:33
Speaker
And I think the beautiful thing about the story you just mentioned was that you said you didn't grow with, you talked about money in a household and it wasn't a stressful way.
00:05:42
Speaker
Right.
00:05:42
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:43
Speaker
You know, where I'm from, like it's stress around money and finances.
00:05:47
Speaker
So you kind of had like a healthy relationship, right?
00:05:50
Speaker
With money.
00:05:51
Speaker
And then as you got older, you had an intention with your money.
00:05:54
Speaker
You said your cost of living wasn't high.
00:05:57
Speaker
Why do you think in the world we live in, at least in America, why do you think we're such consumers and we don't think about saving and investing or actually producing something to generate money?
00:06:08
Speaker
Is it just like the market or how they market to us?
00:06:11
Speaker
Because, you know, I've lived that where I'm just like overly consuming things, but the things I'm consuming is not generating no income.
00:06:18
Speaker
But it looks like it.
00:06:19
Speaker
it is right because what i have but it doesn't mean anything where do you think that comes from i think it comes from a displaced self-identity so um i think that people don't truly know who they are and so what happens is there becomes like this opening like a void there
00:06:39
Speaker
And then it's easy for Instagram and for the pressure of, oh, I need to have a house by the time I'm 30.
00:06:47
Speaker
I need to have two kids.
00:06:49
Speaker
I need to have this kind of car.
00:06:51
Speaker
I need, you know, or even like a bigger stock account, like there's something there.
00:06:56
Speaker
And so what happens is.
00:06:58
Speaker
there's a void within themselves and so that just fills right in and then it adds up though like i don't it's not like people make a decision like all of a sudden they've made one decision and then they're 20 000 in debt it's like they made a first decision and that was 250 to go to a concert because they really needed a freaking break from life because they're miserable right and then it was like a hundred dollar dinner they just didn't seem like a big deal and it just
00:07:27
Speaker
over and over and over and then it gets to a point where a lot of people can't energetically handle it so then they avoid it so then it becomes a snowball effect yeah let's talk about energetic consistency what is that how do we get consistent about energy to bring in money into our vibration how does that work like can you break that down yeah well you know what people are already bringing money in i mean the reality is like
00:07:55
Speaker
when, when, you know, most of the people that we're surrounded by in our daily life, whether it's, you know, in the grocery store or where it is, they have money to buy the groceries that they
Energetic Consistency with Money
00:08:05
Speaker
want.
00:08:05
Speaker
They have money to put gas in the car.
00:08:06
Speaker
Like we're all abundant at a certain level.
00:08:09
Speaker
And so whatever that level is, we're being energetically consistent to that level.
00:08:15
Speaker
You know, like if I asked you, you know, is it, is it hard for you to bring in a hundred dollars a month?
00:08:23
Speaker
You know, is that, does that stress you out?
00:08:24
Speaker
No.
00:08:25
Speaker
Right.
00:08:25
Speaker
And so, so do you see how, like, even you were kind of like, no, you know, like you almost don't even like, it's just like flows through.
00:08:31
Speaker
You don't even, there's no thought to it.
00:08:33
Speaker
So there's no attachment to having to bring in a hundred dollars a month.
00:08:36
Speaker
It's like, dude, that's just me.
00:08:38
Speaker
Right.
00:08:38
Speaker
I don't even worry about it.
00:08:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:08:40
Speaker
well that is that's you're at that energetic consistent level right or you know you're you're at your own level who knows what that is but i'm using that as an example but if you were to say a hundred thousand dollars a month a lot of people have a different energy that goes into that they're like no no that's not easy for me to make right all of a sudden that goes to what do i need to sacrifice who do i need to be what kind of friends am i going to lose
00:09:06
Speaker
What do I have to do that I don't want to do?
00:09:08
Speaker
Like all of a sudden it's like, boom, boom, boom.
00:09:10
Speaker
All of this stuff racks up.
00:09:11
Speaker
And it just, all it does is just boom, push it away.
00:09:15
Speaker
The moment we start to look at money as ones and zeros.
00:09:20
Speaker
Money is ones and zeros.
00:09:22
Speaker
It's no different than gas in the car.
Detachment and Money
00:09:26
Speaker
When we have, when we, when we actually disconnect our relationship with money completely, completely, then we can reconnect it at a better way.
00:09:36
Speaker
Sounds like Joe Dispenza when he said, when you just be getting to a space of nothingness, when you're nothing, you have nothing attached to your being.
00:09:43
Speaker
You're just it.
00:09:44
Speaker
Right.
00:09:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:45
Speaker
And why do you think, you know, self identity correlates to like how much money you have, how much money you think you should have?
00:09:52
Speaker
Like, where does that come into fruition with one another?
00:09:57
Speaker
Because it's normalization.
00:09:58
Speaker
So for me, it is normal for me to have money because I didn't I did not have money.
00:10:05
Speaker
Right.
00:10:06
Speaker
That's a great point.
00:10:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:09
Speaker
And so that's actually one of the reasons that I help a lot of people who grew up very poor and scarcity mindset a lot.
00:10:16
Speaker
And the reason is because I'm so neutral about it.
00:10:20
Speaker
that I'm not a polarizing force against them, right?
00:10:25
Speaker
I am very neutral.
00:10:26
Speaker
And so I can kind of display that the new type of normalization to them without judgment so that they can kind of feel it, if you will.
00:10:36
Speaker
Yeah, it is interesting.
00:10:38
Speaker
I had a family member tell me one time, he said, you got to think where people live as far as their class environment.
00:10:44
Speaker
You know, some people play sports to make it.
00:10:47
Speaker
And then other people play sports just to enjoy it.
00:10:50
Speaker
That's a different frequency, right?
00:10:52
Speaker
When you're coming from a more scarcity, poor poverty mindset or background, you might be playing a sport to make it in a sport with someone who would not even say they're wealthy or rich.
00:11:01
Speaker
They're just not poor, right?
00:11:03
Speaker
They're just enjoying playing basketball, football, soccer.
00:11:06
Speaker
They're not trying to compete to make it to the big leagues.
00:11:09
Speaker
And so I'm like, wow, that's
Rebuilding Financial Relationships
00:11:11
Speaker
a different frequency because it's a different mentality.
00:11:13
Speaker
And my biggest thing is
00:11:15
Speaker
When you come from such a low, I guess vibrational poor mindset, how do you gravitate to a growth mindset or rich mindset?
00:11:25
Speaker
What do you have to do energetically or, you know, habits to get into that space?
00:11:31
Speaker
Like what is the routine?
00:11:32
Speaker
Is there like any tools you can, you know, acknowledge here?
00:11:35
Speaker
I'm just curious.
00:11:37
Speaker
Yeah, basically what you have to do is you have to completely break, I call it breaking the structure because really what you're doing, to me, it's equivalent of, you know, you see in the movies, like, you know, you go in and like, there's a table and it's got all these dishes on it and the flour base and everything.
00:11:54
Speaker
And somebody comes and they pull the tablecloth off, right?
00:11:57
Speaker
And it's like, everything goes crashing down.
00:11:59
Speaker
You actually have to do that when it comes to whatever you're doing now with regards to
00:12:05
Speaker
money or anything related to money.
00:12:08
Speaker
Now, I don't mean that you have to crash everything necessarily with money, but you have to do everything different.
00:12:14
Speaker
You have to scramble it up.
00:12:15
Speaker
If you're not managing your money, then you have to start managing your money.
00:12:19
Speaker
You have to do it like
00:12:21
Speaker
from a neutral standpoint, no judgment, right?
00:12:24
Speaker
You did the best job that you could.
00:12:25
Speaker
You have to do that.
00:12:27
Speaker
If you are, uh, if you have high energy and you're super creative in the morning, then you need to start managing your energy in a different way and see, can I pull that creativity?
00:12:37
Speaker
Can I get just a little bit of that from seven 30 to eight to eight o'clock at night?
00:12:42
Speaker
You have to completely scramble your world and
00:12:44
Speaker
in order to create a new relationship and to start recreating your identity some of it has to do with money but because money is energy it also has to do with how you manage your energy and so it's kind of all one thing what you can't do is you can't just keep going along exactly as you're going along and then just do the things you're doing now with money but do them better
00:13:09
Speaker
Because it's kind of like when you have something on your to-do list that just, it just goes to the next week and the next week and the next week, it's like, there's a reason you're not doing it.
00:13:19
Speaker
You just need to get rid of it.
Attachment and Financial Attraction
00:13:21
Speaker
You need to completely, you just need to completely re-meet yourself when it comes to money.
00:13:27
Speaker
Yeah, that's a great story and a great explanation because I remember at one point where I made more money when I started doing less, right?
00:13:34
Speaker
Right.
00:13:35
Speaker
But when I had three jobs and I was doing the Ubers and I was training and I was working at the nightclub and I was doing this, I wasn't making no money.
00:13:43
Speaker
The moment I sat still and I just allowed the universe to kind of coincide and help me and just put intentions out.
00:13:49
Speaker
And what I really was doing was working on my energy, personal development.
00:13:53
Speaker
I attract more money.
00:13:54
Speaker
But anytime I try to put my will into like, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that.
00:14:00
Speaker
my pie is not as big, right?
00:14:02
Speaker
And I was like, what is that about?
00:14:03
Speaker
How is it that I make more money, but yet my output is less?
00:14:07
Speaker
You get what I'm saying?
00:14:08
Speaker
I totally get it.
00:14:09
Speaker
And you know, this, so I just recently actually worked with a stripper and she has just always been just like not had money, always been like just, you know, just scrambling to like make the rent and all that.
00:14:23
Speaker
And so I worked with her and I listened to what she was saying.
00:14:27
Speaker
I listened to, cause I can actually listen to people's language and figure out where their money blocks are just by the way they're putting their sentences together.
00:14:34
Speaker
And yeah,
00:14:35
Speaker
It jumped out at me when she used the phrase that she used was, oh, on Tuesday night, I had to make rent.
00:14:44
Speaker
Right.
00:14:44
Speaker
So she was dancing for rent that night.
00:14:47
Speaker
Right.
00:14:47
Speaker
So what happened is her whole demeanor when she went in was tied.
00:14:53
Speaker
There was a conditional relationship to the way that she sort of danced or interacted with this need to make money.
00:15:06
Speaker
And she never realized it because that's her language was normalized.
00:15:11
Speaker
And all of the other girls, all the other dancers, they all say the same thing.
00:15:16
Speaker
And here's another thing.
00:15:17
Speaker
It's been working for her.
00:15:19
Speaker
There's never been a month where she hasn't made rent.
00:15:22
Speaker
So what would cause you?
00:15:23
Speaker
That's what I'm saying.
00:15:24
Speaker
There's no break in the structure.
00:15:26
Speaker
So what I did is I said, will you be willing to accept a new challenge?
00:15:31
Speaker
And she said, I'll do whatever.
00:15:33
Speaker
And I said, okay.
00:15:35
Speaker
I said, for two weeks, when you go into dance, you just go in and you have fun.
00:15:43
Speaker
You just go into your internal world.
00:15:46
Speaker
You just go in and you have fun.
00:15:48
Speaker
And I said, then on top of it, I said, the money that you make, you do not count it.
00:15:55
Speaker
Wow.
00:15:56
Speaker
Count it.
00:15:57
Speaker
And she was like, okay, I'll do that.
00:16:00
Speaker
And so what she did was she went and she put the money away two weeks.
00:16:05
Speaker
And so we got on another call and after the two weeks, she counted it right there.
00:16:10
Speaker
She was crying.
00:16:12
Speaker
She's never made that much money, Eric.
Fun and Financial Flow
00:16:15
Speaker
Never made that much money.
00:16:17
Speaker
Wow.
00:16:18
Speaker
I'm blown away because I've realized when my money blocks are there, it's because I'm not having fun.
00:16:24
Speaker
Yep.
00:16:25
Speaker
That's it.
00:16:25
Speaker
The more fun I have,
00:16:27
Speaker
The more money comes in.
00:16:28
Speaker
So what is that about?
00:16:31
Speaker
I guess some people say it's like innocence, childlike play.
00:16:35
Speaker
What is the energetic field with having fun and making money?
00:16:39
Speaker
Like what is, I hear people say that all the time, but when you're just working because I got to work, I got to work, you know, allow yourself to have fun.
00:16:46
Speaker
You don't.
00:16:47
Speaker
I believe you don't attract as much.
00:16:48
Speaker
What is that about?
00:16:50
Speaker
It's attachment.
00:16:51
Speaker
It's attachment.
00:16:53
Speaker
Yes.
00:16:55
Speaker
So let's give an example.
00:16:56
Speaker
Like you're at the bar, right?
00:16:57
Speaker
Okay.
00:16:58
Speaker
So you're at the bar, some beautiful girl comes over, you know, sits down, whatever.
00:17:04
Speaker
And you're like, can I buy you a drink?
00:17:05
Speaker
Can I buy you a drink?
00:17:06
Speaker
Can I buy you a drink?
00:17:07
Speaker
Right.
00:17:07
Speaker
And she's like, eh, you know, whatever, like whatever.
00:17:11
Speaker
She's not even like really, you know, paying attention.
00:17:14
Speaker
And so because you're attached to it.
00:17:16
Speaker
You want this.
00:17:17
Speaker
You want the situation.
00:17:19
Speaker
OK, so now imagine another scenario.
00:17:21
Speaker
So girl comes over, you're at the bar.
00:17:24
Speaker
You don't you don't even you look at her and then you look at the bartender and you say, I'll have what she's having.
00:17:31
Speaker
What's the difference there?
00:17:32
Speaker
There's not attachment.
00:17:34
Speaker
It's a different vibration.
00:17:36
Speaker
You're not needing anything from the situation.
00:17:40
Speaker
That's why wealthy people make money because they're not attached to it.
00:17:44
Speaker
And that's why people who are struggling, it's they can't make money because they're so freaking attached.
00:17:52
Speaker
So wealthy people make money because they're not attached and people who don't make money because they're attached.
00:17:57
Speaker
Right.
00:17:58
Speaker
It sounds like the same thing in like a relationship or a gig or opportunity.
00:18:02
Speaker
When you're not attached to the thing, it comes into your vibration.
00:18:05
Speaker
But when you're attached, it's like if you push it away.
00:18:08
Speaker
That's exactly it.
00:18:10
Speaker
That's exactly it.
Shifting to a Non-Attached Mindset
00:18:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:12
Speaker
Is there some type of regimen or routine or toolkit you use to get people to that consistent?
00:18:19
Speaker
Like I'm all about building new paradigms for myself.
00:18:22
Speaker
For people to get into the energetic space when it comes to money not being attacked, is that something people can do like every morning and every day?
00:18:30
Speaker
Because you said something earlier, I'm a creative person.
00:18:33
Speaker
I have a lot of energy in the morning.
00:18:34
Speaker
And you were saying, well, maybe you can shift that at seven, eight o'clock at night or reserve some of your energy.
00:18:41
Speaker
What is something that, you know, the average person can do to just change their energy to have a different or have no attachment towards how much they're going to make that week?
00:18:51
Speaker
Well, you can actually, if you're willing to do it, if, I mean, let's just say that someone's like in a situation where they're, they like their cost of living and their income's about the same, or maybe their cost of living is even higher and they're going in debt and they're distressed.
00:19:07
Speaker
Right.
00:19:07
Speaker
Let's say you have a situation like that.
00:19:10
Speaker
Well,
00:19:11
Speaker
You actually can get yourself out of that situation and you can actually do it a lot easier than people think that you can do it.
00:19:20
Speaker
The first thing that you have to do though, is you have to actually detach all of the emotions from the money and from the world around you.
00:19:29
Speaker
You have to practice non-attachment.
00:19:32
Speaker
The way that you do that is you shift 100% responsibility back onto yourself.
00:19:40
Speaker
And you say,
00:19:41
Speaker
Doesn't matter what happened yesterday.
00:19:43
Speaker
Doesn't matter what happened at my job.
00:19:46
Speaker
I am 100% responsible for every single dollar that comes into my world and every single dollar that goes out.
00:19:54
Speaker
I am also 100% in knowingness that if my cost of living,
00:20:00
Speaker
If it's $3,000 a month, then I know already ahead of time.
00:20:06
Speaker
So I don't get to be mad or blame or even talk about it or go into this negative vibe when I only have 2,800 because my ass knew that before.
00:20:17
Speaker
And I was avoiding it.
00:20:19
Speaker
So that's what I'm saying.
00:20:21
Speaker
It's responsibility without judgment, though, because none of us are bad people.
00:20:26
Speaker
We're doing the best freaking job we can do, you know.
00:20:29
Speaker
So that is the thing.
00:20:31
Speaker
So once you step into full responsibility, you're automatically going to see more money come into your life because you can't actually make the same decision you were making if you're making that decision now from full responsibility.
00:20:46
Speaker
Right.
00:20:47
Speaker
So automatically that's going to change.
00:20:50
Speaker
So full responsibility of what comes in, what goes out is all upon you and not you avoiding for what you just spent.
00:20:58
Speaker
No, you didn't have it.
00:21:00
Speaker
That's right.
Taking Responsibility for Finances
00:21:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:01
Speaker
And if you don't want to be in that environment, then you need to make 500 more in a month and put that aside.
00:21:09
Speaker
And you need to make 800 more the next month and put that inside.
00:21:12
Speaker
And then you need to actually get a month to three months ahead.
00:21:17
Speaker
So that you never feel like that again.
00:21:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:21
Speaker
And it's interesting because I have wealthy clients and even the wealthiest client will say, because I have a pattern of, you know, you make a lot of money and then you'll spend and you're like, damn, like I just made 15,000.
00:21:32
Speaker
How did I just spend six?
00:21:33
Speaker
Right.
00:21:35
Speaker
You know, and this is coming from, you know, a wealth client is like, damn, that's out of my bank account.
00:21:38
Speaker
Like, what's that about?
00:21:39
Speaker
So I'm learning as well levels.
00:21:42
Speaker
People probably have the same behaviors, but they just might have more sitting around than a person who doesn't.
00:21:48
Speaker
And that's, I'm so glad you brought that up.
00:21:50
Speaker
Yeah, it's the same behavior.
00:21:52
Speaker
And I remember talking to a plan three weeks ago and he was saying, I said, how's the stock market?
00:21:58
Speaker
He said, oh, I don't look at it no more.
00:21:59
Speaker
I just gave it to the one.
00:22:00
Speaker
I just lost a million.
00:22:01
Speaker
And it was like, it changed his peace of mind, right?
00:22:05
Speaker
But yeah, this person has a lot of money, but I don't know what he has liquid, but it just, his energy was different.
00:22:12
Speaker
when he showed up to the session, like what's going on.
00:22:16
Speaker
But yet he has everything.
00:22:17
Speaker
And I'm like, wow, it's just all relative, you know?
00:22:21
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:22
Speaker
You know, someone said in the, in the program the other day, they said, okay, well, when I get to a certain level, I won't have money problems anymore.
00:22:29
Speaker
And I'm like, no, no, no, no.
00:22:31
Speaker
Everybody's got money problems.
00:22:32
Speaker
Like the boss, my boss that I used to work with on a trading floor, like, you know, he made millions of dollars a year and he had very little in the bank account because of his expenses.
00:22:42
Speaker
So, you know, I think people need to realize that nobody out here has a secret formula.
00:22:49
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:50
Speaker
We're all the same.
00:22:51
Speaker
We're all the same.
00:22:52
Speaker
We're just attracting ones and zeros at a different level.
00:22:55
Speaker
And if you will actually believe that, then you'll stop judging yourself and thinking that you're less than because you're just as talented.
00:23:03
Speaker
You are just as worthy.
00:23:05
Speaker
You are just as capable of attracting a million dollars as I am or anybody else is.
00:23:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:11
Speaker
Now, is there some type of intentions you can set or ritual or thing you have clients do to make more money?
00:23:18
Speaker
So, say, or someone's making $3,400 a month and say they want to make $20,000 a month.
00:23:24
Speaker
Is there a way for them to quantum leap or jump based on some type of energy work or changing a belief around or shifting a paradigm from your perspective?
00:23:35
Speaker
You know what I find, because I've worked with literally thousands of entrepreneurs and what I found, and I would say this is just kind of a common, the most common thing that I've seen is that people think they're giving a certain amount of value out into the world.
00:23:53
Speaker
But really, if you want to shift the amount of money, because money's coming to you based on the value that you're giving.
00:23:59
Speaker
Money is an exchange.
00:24:00
Speaker
It's either you're getting an exchange for time or you're getting an exchange for your energetic value, right?
00:24:06
Speaker
And so when it comes to energetic value, which is the new world that we're moving into where people are making money based on their energy, like this podcast and all that.
00:24:18
Speaker
So when it comes to that,
00:24:22
Speaker
People think that they are giving well and they are giving all the value according to the value that they know to give.
00:24:30
Speaker
But a lot of times people aren't actually looking at the value that is needed out there.
00:24:36
Speaker
They're just going out and creating a business because they like to do something.
Authenticity in Business
00:24:41
Speaker
When you've got to get into a position of empathy, right?
00:24:46
Speaker
and go, well, what is it?
00:24:49
Speaker
And just because I like doing this, is it truly helping someone?
00:24:53
Speaker
Because if it's not, then you're just going to have to move on.
00:24:59
Speaker
Another thing with it is that
00:25:01
Speaker
When I first started my business, I didn't make any money for two years.
00:25:05
Speaker
And it was really tough because it's like, you got to keep going and going and doing this.
00:25:10
Speaker
I could have shortcutted that.
00:25:12
Speaker
I could have been making money out of the gate if I'd done one thing.
00:25:15
Speaker
And that was not hide.
00:25:19
Speaker
Yeah, I was online.
00:25:21
Speaker
I was talking.
00:25:22
Speaker
I was doing video, da, da, da.
00:25:24
Speaker
But I was worried about, do I seem professional?
00:25:28
Speaker
Am I supposed to do it this way?
00:25:30
Speaker
Oh, am I supposed to do it three times a day or one time a day?
00:25:33
Speaker
I was so worried about the rules and the way everybody says you need to do this shit and da, da, da.
00:25:39
Speaker
I was so worried about it.
00:25:40
Speaker
That it was a bug, you know?
00:25:42
Speaker
Because we're creating our own filtering system that doesn't work.
00:25:48
Speaker
And then we're not making money, you know?
00:25:49
Speaker
Being more authentic is how you make more money.
00:25:53
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:25:55
Speaker
I think, you know, a lot of people are not a fan of him, but I think Kanye said, you know, a while ago, he said, when I was strategic and doing everything right and trying to be perfect, I was in debt.
00:26:05
Speaker
When I didn't give a fuck, I make billions.
00:26:09
Speaker
That's exactly right.
00:26:10
Speaker
It is like, wow.
00:26:13
Speaker
Like, cause you don't have, again, to go back to your point, you're not attached to people's opinions, right?
00:26:18
Speaker
Attachment.
00:26:19
Speaker
It's all attachment.
00:26:21
Speaker
Yep.
00:26:22
Speaker
You're just free.
00:26:24
Speaker
I love that.
00:26:24
Speaker
That's so true.
Self-Love and Wealth
00:26:26
Speaker
So can you explain, how did you come up with the thought, the phrase being wealthy as a form of self-love?
00:26:31
Speaker
Like, what does that mean?
00:26:32
Speaker
What's the context you're speaking from?
00:26:34
Speaker
Cause I love that.
00:26:34
Speaker
I've never heard that.
00:26:36
Speaker
Yeah, well, yeah.
00:26:38
Speaker
What I really mean by that is that self-love for you is kind of how can you open yourself the widest possible for the spiritual growth, for the love, for like, let's say you're sitting down with your grandmother or whatever.
00:26:54
Speaker
You want to be fully present there, right?
00:26:57
Speaker
You just want to be there.
00:26:58
Speaker
It's for you.
00:26:59
Speaker
That's self-love for you.
00:27:00
Speaker
And that's for her as well, or your kid or whatever.
00:27:03
Speaker
You want to be able to provide the best for yourself.
00:27:06
Speaker
You want to be able to provide the best food, the best nutrients, shelter, all of this stuff, right?
00:27:12
Speaker
And so all of this stuff is a form of self-love, but all of it needs money, right?
00:27:20
Speaker
So the more wealth you actually will allow to come into your life,
00:27:26
Speaker
the more you are actually practicing self-love because it's allowing the authentic version of you to go out to the world in a non-attached way because you're not out there having to hustle for money.
00:27:39
Speaker
You're actually out there because you're like truly a beacon of light.
00:27:44
Speaker
Got it.
00:27:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:45
Speaker
And I realized something in my life when I'm working out, getting rest, praying, reading books, meditation, going to cryotherapy, cold plunge,
00:27:55
Speaker
walking and barefooted in nature and I'm doing all these things for my vibration and my vessel.
00:28:00
Speaker
I attract better things into my frequency and I'm not allowing others mess to be my message or let negativity or the chaos outside of my vessel disturb me.
00:28:10
Speaker
I make more money, you know, so it's true because that's a form of self love, like taking care of yourself, your internal being, your physical being.
00:28:18
Speaker
I want to
00:28:19
Speaker
pick your brain a little bit.
00:28:20
Speaker
I want to give you my money story.
00:28:22
Speaker
So my money story probably started around the age of like, no, say 15, 16.
00:28:28
Speaker
I was working at foot action.
00:28:29
Speaker
I was a stock boy and I was making 675 an hour.
00:28:32
Speaker
Right.
00:28:33
Speaker
It's not a lot of money, but you know, that was several years ago.
00:28:36
Speaker
I was saving my money.
00:28:37
Speaker
And I think at the time I probably had like $364 in a shoe box.
00:28:42
Speaker
Right.
00:28:43
Speaker
My grandmother comes in my room and say, Eric, um,
00:28:46
Speaker
The phone is off.
00:28:47
Speaker
You think you got some money you can help pay the phone bill.
00:28:50
Speaker
Now, mind you, the phone bill was like $313, right?
00:28:55
Speaker
So I got my shoebox.
00:28:57
Speaker
I got $364 on my shoebox.
00:28:59
Speaker
I get the money.
00:29:01
Speaker
I say, hey, Grandma.
00:29:02
Speaker
She paid a bill.
00:29:04
Speaker
I believe I gave her all the money because I'm like, you can just have the, you know.
00:29:08
Speaker
The phone is turned back on.
00:29:09
Speaker
But when I left, I remember my face and my body language.
Host's Personal Money Mindset
00:29:13
Speaker
It was like bittersweet.
00:29:15
Speaker
Right?
00:29:15
Speaker
Like, I was happy that I got the phone field turned on.
00:29:18
Speaker
Like, we ain't got to worry about grandma's phone is on.
00:29:20
Speaker
I was like, man, I just saved my money that I wanted to build up.
00:29:24
Speaker
It's gone.
00:29:25
Speaker
So as I've gotten older and I started making more money, I was like, oh, wow.
00:29:29
Speaker
I have a pattern.
00:29:30
Speaker
When I get money, unconsciously, I feel like I got to give it away.
00:29:37
Speaker
And it's like good things now.
00:29:38
Speaker
It's not like, hey, this is like $250 here, $1,000 there, $2,000.
00:29:44
Speaker
500, like I'll just find a way, right?
00:29:47
Speaker
Unconstantly because that's my money story.
00:29:49
Speaker
That's what I'm attached to.
00:29:51
Speaker
Oh, I have a lot.
00:29:52
Speaker
So let me give it away because I can, or I'm obligated to when I have to realize now, and I'm like, I have something that someone needs it.
00:30:00
Speaker
Like, do I really want to do that?
00:30:01
Speaker
And go back to what I was talking about Ken Honda before we started.
00:30:04
Speaker
Is this happy money going out or is this sad money, right?
00:30:07
Speaker
Am I putting gratitude behind the dollars I'm spending?
00:30:10
Speaker
Because I feel like when you put joy,
00:30:12
Speaker
gratitude, happiness, and your money, it comes back a different way.
00:30:15
Speaker
But when you put negative emotions, you kind of repel it, right?
00:30:20
Speaker
If I was a client and I was coming to you and I told you that story, how would you get me out of that pattern?
00:30:25
Speaker
How would I create a new pattern to not be in that old paradigm that's not the best?
00:30:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:30:33
Speaker
Well, it's a couple of things.
00:30:35
Speaker
So number one, you didn't get, you didn't have the opportunity in that scenario as a child to actually step into that new identity because that on another parallel reality, Eric would have gone out and bought something amazing or invested that money or something.
00:30:54
Speaker
And then that would, that would have literally changed your identity for the rest of your life.
00:31:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:02
Speaker
That's deep.
00:31:03
Speaker
It would have changed everything.
00:31:05
Speaker
And so the situation now is you get a choice to change your identity now away from that.
00:31:15
Speaker
Like we have to look at the things that happen in our stories there as...
00:31:21
Speaker
I'm grateful for that because I got to help my grandmother with that, but I don't need that story anymore.
00:31:26
Speaker
It's actually not me.
00:31:27
Speaker
The new me and the new identity, the identity that I want to choose, because literally we're just choosing all the time, which identity, which identity.
00:31:37
Speaker
Then the new identity that you could possibly choose is
00:31:41
Speaker
could be that I love to give people things and I love to help people give things.
00:31:48
Speaker
So I am going to get myself in a position where I am so wealthy that I never even think about money anymore.
00:31:58
Speaker
And I'm just literally my entire being in life is going out there and helping people and it's energy.
00:32:05
Speaker
It could be time.
00:32:06
Speaker
It could be helping them start a podcast.
00:32:08
Speaker
It could be all of these.
00:32:09
Speaker
In fact, you'll be more valuable in the world because when people give other people money, sometimes it helps.
00:32:15
Speaker
And sometimes it's just a, it's just a bandaid, right?
00:32:18
Speaker
You'll be more valuable in the world because then you'll show up and you'll be able to discover within the situation, what does this person need that I have to offer?
00:32:27
Speaker
And you'll be able to do it in a hundred percent non-attached way.
00:32:32
Speaker
There we go.
00:32:33
Speaker
Because I realized over the years, you give all this money to family, friends, whoever need it, and it's like, it doesn't change their behavior.
00:32:39
Speaker
Nothing.
00:32:40
Speaker
Because they're repeating that pattern.
00:32:41
Speaker
And then they don't need another thousand, they don't need another this.
00:32:44
Speaker
And I'm like, let's give you money.
00:32:46
Speaker
So I realized that money won't change the behavior.
00:32:50
Speaker
The person has to change the behavior for the money to be different in their mind, like you said, to create a new identity.
00:32:57
Speaker
I wanted you to, I have a quote, another quote, I love your quote.
00:33:01
Speaker
You say,
00:33:02
Speaker
money doesn't move you doing what you love doing what you love helping others expand their conscious consciousness does what does that mean yeah so most most people uh they they think they're going to be motivated by money but then what happens is money comes in and then you see the dollars in the bank account and you're like
Energy Quality and Financial Abundance
00:33:25
Speaker
okay well
00:33:26
Speaker
it doesn't necessarily motivate you to go out and do anything else.
00:33:30
Speaker
What motivates you is the happiness you feel or the ease or the lack of stress that you suddenly feel because of the money.
00:33:38
Speaker
So money is simply the result, right?
00:33:41
Speaker
And so what actually blocks money from a lot of people is they're so focused on the $3,000 a month, the $3,000 a month, right?
00:33:48
Speaker
And they're so focused on it, the lack of it,
00:33:54
Speaker
that they're actually pushing it away but if they would actually focus on the conscious energy that they are putting out into the world what is the quality of that that is behind the three thousand dollars that is creating three thousand dollars if they would focus just on that
00:34:13
Speaker
they would have more than $3,000 come in.
00:34:16
Speaker
And a great example of that would be, you could see it all the time, people work in the service industry, right?
00:34:22
Speaker
Let's say, you know, average there, let's say it's $3,000 a month, just for, you know, sticking with the example.
00:34:29
Speaker
What happens when they show up with a different consciousness every day and they're a waiter or whatever, you know, that money, same thing with the stripper, right?
00:34:39
Speaker
It's like consciousness changes.
00:34:41
Speaker
Yeah.
00:34:41
Speaker
Yeah, and I think you're just hitting on something that I can relate to because I remember my early years in LA, I had to struggle to pay my car note.
00:34:49
Speaker
And the reason was I was listening to Bob Proctor and he was breaking down a million dollars, how to make it.
00:34:54
Speaker
But he did it by the week, how much money you should make a week.
00:34:57
Speaker
And then there was an option within the car loan that I was having, like, you could do it weekly.
00:35:01
Speaker
I was like, I think my payment was like $400 a month and I think the weekly was like $82.
00:35:04
Speaker
It literally changed my energy.
00:35:07
Speaker
I was like, oh, I can make $82 a week.
00:35:12
Speaker
And then I started paying it weekly.
00:35:14
Speaker
So then at the end of the year, I actually had extra payments on a loan.
00:35:18
Speaker
But I was looking at it at $400 a month, right?
00:35:23
Speaker
Or when I'm giving a client something that they're doing a bench press and I'm giving them, if I say we're going to do, you got 100 reps.
00:35:29
Speaker
But if I say we got 10 reps, I mean, 10 sets, 10 reps, their energy is not expected as much because I'm breaking it down.
00:35:38
Speaker
So I realized your energy changes when your psyche changes about your attachment to like, oh, I can do that.
00:35:45
Speaker
But opposed to if you put the, if I do, if I say we're doing 25 burpees, if I tell you we're doing 25 at 17, you're going to want to give up.
00:35:53
Speaker
But if I go one, two, three, four, five, one, two, three, four, five, more likely you're going to commit and get it done opposed to 17, 18.
00:36:05
Speaker
You know, and I've learned in like,
00:36:07
Speaker
I didn't think about the underlying thing, which is the energy behind the words or the psyche, how we process it, right?
00:36:16
Speaker
Yes.
00:36:16
Speaker
I love that example.
00:36:18
Speaker
I love it.
00:36:19
Speaker
And you know, you can, you can actually kind of reverse that and apply that to the 3000, like the savings thing that we talked about, right?
00:36:26
Speaker
Building your way, your way in, because like that $82 a week that fit within
Starting Small in Investments
00:36:33
Speaker
your world.
00:36:33
Speaker
That's already normalized that fit within self identity, the 400 boom, that's Nope.
00:36:39
Speaker
That's outside my self identity.
00:36:40
Speaker
I got to do something to get that, that I don't want to do it.
00:36:42
Speaker
I'm not doing it.
00:36:45
Speaker
I just quit my job and everything.
00:36:47
Speaker
I was like, I'm gonna go work for myself.
00:36:49
Speaker
I think I was like 24, 25.
00:36:50
Speaker
And I was like, yeah, I got this.
00:36:52
Speaker
And then I hit a wall and I was like, oh man, what am I doing?
00:36:56
Speaker
Right?
00:36:57
Speaker
But it was like, it's a moment that I can share with someone that was real to me where my car was in repo possession almost like five times.
00:37:04
Speaker
It never happened.
00:37:05
Speaker
But that's the story I can share with people.
00:37:07
Speaker
Like I struggled when I came out here when I was in LA because I was out here by myself.
00:37:11
Speaker
I came here at a thousand dollars.
00:37:13
Speaker
So every emotion I experienced to be where I'm at today.
00:37:16
Speaker
I don't want people to think like, oh, look at me.
00:37:18
Speaker
Like, no, I have some pain points.
00:37:20
Speaker
Let me tell you about it.
00:37:22
Speaker
So I just think energy, I always say your energy is your currency and really building that relationship.
00:37:30
Speaker
By the way, I want to ask you a more personal question.
00:37:32
Speaker
So I feel like you're really good at making money.
00:37:35
Speaker
You understand money.
00:37:35
Speaker
You said you can tell where people blocks off based on the words they use.
00:37:41
Speaker
For you, what is the most money you received at one time in your life that you can recall?
00:37:48
Speaker
Cash money or equity.
00:37:51
Speaker
I guess equity probably.
00:37:52
Speaker
Either or, I mean, yeah, whatever.
00:37:54
Speaker
That's probably it.
00:37:56
Speaker
I think with what we saw during COVID, now I still own rental properties.
00:38:01
Speaker
So I think that's probably the most money that's sort of come to me, even though that's not money in hand.
00:38:09
Speaker
Like I don't need to have money in my hand to consider it, you know?
00:38:13
Speaker
No, I get it.
00:38:13
Speaker
No, yeah, yeah.
00:38:14
Speaker
Yeah.
00:38:14
Speaker
So I would say that that's probably it.
00:38:17
Speaker
And I would also say that if you don't, this is another thing going back to this self-love.
00:38:25
Speaker
Like if you don't, if you're not working towards owning an asset, like people think that a dollar amount gives you freedom.
00:38:32
Speaker
Well, a dollar amount doesn't give you freedom like cash in the bank because you're always, like you say, it kind of comes and goes, right?
00:38:38
Speaker
Yeah, right.
00:38:39
Speaker
Some asset, whether it's a piece of land in the middle of Podunk, wherever,
00:38:46
Speaker
that will change your self-identity and that will start to give you something that will build momentum and all of this.
00:38:52
Speaker
Like when I started buying these rental properties, I mean, you know, they weren't that expensive.
00:38:57
Speaker
You know, I think one down payment was like $25,000 on one of them because it was like not in a nice area.
00:39:03
Speaker
This, the first rental property that I bought actually had so many roaches in it that I
00:39:09
Speaker
um they had to come we had to like actually tear all of the walls off down to the actual frame I mean it was I'm not talking about I was buying like million dollar homes and uh I was doing a lot of the work on it to save money yeah as for the rental property how many rental properties do you have today
00:39:30
Speaker
I only have two left today.
00:39:32
Speaker
Two left, okay.
00:39:33
Speaker
Yeah, I've sold them at different times.
00:39:36
Speaker
And then what I'll do is I'll take the money and I'll do something else.
00:39:40
Speaker
And you'll just keep investing.
00:39:42
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:42
Speaker
So what I'll do, so I like to actually take, I love to like, like say that initial 25,000, right?
00:39:48
Speaker
So that initial 25,000, it went into a rental property that sold.
00:39:53
Speaker
And then that went into another rental property and I'm actually getting ready to sell that rental property coming up.
00:39:58
Speaker
So that 25,000 will probably have turned into probably 600.
00:40:02
Speaker
Wow.
00:40:08
Speaker
Yeah, I'm fascinated by that.
00:40:10
Speaker
I know the market is different.
00:40:11
Speaker
I have a client, he probably owns over 20 apartment buildings.
00:40:15
Speaker
He goes to the bank every day, he said.
00:40:17
Speaker
He was a lawyer most of his life, at least up until maybe his 40s, I believe.
00:40:22
Speaker
He's older now, he's like 75.
00:40:24
Speaker
But he said he bought his first property at 25.
00:40:26
Speaker
You get what I'm saying?
00:40:29
Speaker
Yep, exactly.
00:40:29
Speaker
So he's been constantly investing and learning and growing and it works if it works.
00:40:36
Speaker
I just think
00:40:37
Speaker
for people who don't have that liquid, who don't have the savings or the capital to invest, what is another place people should invest to kind of grow their money that you think from like, you know, the root level to help them in life?
00:40:51
Speaker
Well, I think the first thing that they have to do is stop looking at what everybody else is doing and stop being afraid you're going to lose the money.
00:40:58
Speaker
Right.
00:40:58
Speaker
So I was not attached to that original 25,000.
00:41:01
Speaker
If I was, I wouldn't have bought that rental property because everybody, including all the smart financial people I worked with, they were saying, you're crazy.
00:41:09
Speaker
You don't want to put money in the rental market right now.
00:41:12
Speaker
That's just, that's just, you know, people are coming in squatting.
00:41:14
Speaker
You can't, it was, it was, it was kind of a heyday back then.
00:41:18
Speaker
But I ignored it.
00:41:19
Speaker
And I was like, you know what, I'm not I'm okay with whatever happens, I might lose that 25,000.
00:41:24
Speaker
Right.
Advice on Stock Investments
00:41:25
Speaker
So there was risk involved in it.
00:41:27
Speaker
It's just like I've told people, you know, in the program, like, keep buying stock, keep buying stock, you know, like,
00:41:33
Speaker
I mean, we started buying like Nvidia at $168, you know, it's $615 now.
00:41:37
Speaker
Yeah.
00:41:37
Speaker
Yeah.
00:41:37
Speaker
And our Facebook, which just went up 20%, you know, last week, like, Oh, they did.
00:41:41
Speaker
I got to look at my share.
00:41:43
Speaker
I mean, you just, you just have to
00:41:54
Speaker
take that hundred dollars right like you can buy stocks that are you know a hundred a hundred dollars or a hundred and fifty dollars what apple's like what 180 you got to start with that but don't be attached to it don't be looking at that investing account and judging yourself uh-oh you know it went up to went down to 170 i'm not a good investor oh it went up to 195 don't be patting yourself on the back either yeah i think that's good the judgment part takes the emotions from it so
00:42:22
Speaker
it's something I read on your bio.
00:42:23
Speaker
You said you was an intuitive investor.
00:42:25
Speaker
And I believe as a coach, as a trainer, everything I do is intuitive.
00:42:30
Speaker
And I can go in and look at someone and know what they need as a client or just in life.
00:42:36
Speaker
Do you do your investing like that?
00:42:38
Speaker
You know, like with stocks, with shares, the amount, do you kind of have like a process before you go and invest or you just know like the intuition, like, yep, buy that right now.
00:42:48
Speaker
How does that work for you?
00:42:50
Speaker
I kind of what works for me is I kind of do it like almost the same way that like people kind of shop for themselves, right?
00:42:57
Speaker
Like you might see a pair of shoes or a shirt or a hat or whatever, and you might not buy it right then, but you're like, oh, I like that, you know?
00:43:04
Speaker
So what happens is it sort of stays in your in your mind or you see it somewhere and you're like, oh, I'm going to look those up.
00:43:09
Speaker
Right.
00:43:10
Speaker
So what I do is I usually have some stocks that are kind of like going through my mind.
00:43:15
Speaker
And then when I actually go to buy stocks, and I always do it on my phone, I use E-Trade, but you can use anything.
00:43:23
Speaker
And I do it whenever I'm just in a really happy place, good vibration.
00:43:28
Speaker
I mean, I just walked across the entire country of Spain and
00:43:32
Speaker
Wow.
00:43:34
Speaker
And we were just like after like a 20 mile day and we were all happy and we're talking about investing.
00:43:39
Speaker
And I sat down and I spent, you know, I invested thousands of dollars that day.
00:43:44
Speaker
Okay.
00:43:45
Speaker
So stocks that did well.
00:43:47
Speaker
And it was five minutes of just happiness, right?
00:43:49
Speaker
It was happiness.
00:43:51
Speaker
That is a great point.
00:43:52
Speaker
I don't look at it.
00:43:54
Speaker
Hey, people listening, listen to what she just said.
00:43:56
Speaker
When she goes to invest, she's in a happy place.
00:43:59
Speaker
state, happy, emotional state, space, vibration.
00:44:03
Speaker
She's in the jubilant space.
00:44:05
Speaker
Then she said, don't judge yourself.
00:44:07
Speaker
That's another thing.
00:44:07
Speaker
So those are two things.
00:44:09
Speaker
One is when you're happy and you're feeling good, you should go invest.
00:44:12
Speaker
At least think about it, right?
00:44:13
Speaker
Two, don't judge yourself for the investment.
00:44:16
Speaker
And I think the biggest thing that I'm taking from all of this is the attachment, not being attached to the money that you want to come in, the money that just went out, just having faith and knowing that I did well for the information I have available.
00:44:29
Speaker
So it is.
00:44:30
Speaker
Let the universe help, you know, gravitate and then you live and you learn.
00:44:34
Speaker
But when we don't, when we have that bad relationship or we're so attached to it, it's like sending a kid to school and then you're so afraid if the kid doesn't eat his food or doesn't listen to the teacher, but you got to have some type of faith.
00:44:46
Speaker
Right.
00:44:47
Speaker
And I think, you know, you as a spiritual investor, I feel like, and I think I want to talk about that, you know, as we close out.
00:44:54
Speaker
What is your spiritual life like?
00:44:55
Speaker
Like how, like, what is it that you believe?
00:44:57
Speaker
You believe in the universe, God?
00:44:59
Speaker
Like, what is, like, what is your spiritual life like?
00:45:02
Speaker
I'm curious.
00:45:03
Speaker
I feel like you're tuned in, dialed in, tapped in.
00:45:05
Speaker
At least that's what Abraham Hicks said, so.
00:45:09
Speaker
Yeah, well, I definitely feel, I don't, honestly, Eric, I don't even feel like this information, it doesn't belong
Spiritual Perspective on Wealth
00:45:17
Speaker
to me.
00:45:17
Speaker
Like, I literally feel like I'm here as just a service.
00:45:22
Speaker
Like, I'm a conduit.
00:45:23
Speaker
I see myself as a conduit.
00:45:25
Speaker
And what my responsibility in all of this is self-love, wealth,
00:45:30
Speaker
Being able to give freely, being able to give to myself freely, all of that.
00:45:35
Speaker
My service to this is to manage my energy.
00:45:39
Speaker
I wake up in the morning and think, how can I manage my energy so that I can allow more information to flow through me?
00:45:46
Speaker
in service of others.
00:45:48
Speaker
I don't actually have to worry about my own wealth because guess what?
00:45:52
Speaker
It comes right back to me.
00:45:53
Speaker
I don't believe in a direct like transactional.
00:45:57
Speaker
I don't believe that.
00:45:58
Speaker
Okay.
00:45:59
Speaker
If I give you this value, you have to give me this, this money, because if I do that creates attachment, I have 100% faith in the universe that when I give value in a clean, authentic way, I'm
00:46:10
Speaker
the universe will come back to me.
00:46:12
Speaker
Just like I said, with that 25,000 to 600, right?
00:46:16
Speaker
That's all been, that is universally guided.
00:46:19
Speaker
I could not have orchestrated that with my thinking mind.
00:46:23
Speaker
And so the universe shows up for me.
00:46:25
Speaker
I show up even bigger universe shows up for me.
00:46:28
Speaker
I show up even better.
00:46:29
Speaker
The only thing I do, my only responsibility, Eric,
00:46:33
Speaker
is to manage my energy.
00:46:35
Speaker
I work out, I stretch, I walk.
00:46:40
Speaker
I mean, I sleep, I do good things for people.
00:46:46
Speaker
That's, that's my only job here.
00:46:47
Speaker
And I tell you what, it keeps getting better and better.
00:46:51
Speaker
And my life keeps getting bigger and bigger.
00:46:53
Speaker
Wow.
00:46:54
Speaker
And I think like you hit it on the nose.
00:46:56
Speaker
I feel like you just, you channel all this information and it comes to you and you just put it out in the best way that's
00:47:02
Speaker
authentic to you.
00:47:04
Speaker
And I want to add to that, you know, in my life, because I've been on a spiritual journey, evolution, self-help, working on myself.
00:47:11
Speaker
And what I've discovered is that knowledge is the precursor to experience and information changes situations, right?
00:47:19
Speaker
And I realized that people at the top, they have information that some people don't, or most people don't, right?
00:47:24
Speaker
Because our information, then on top of that, they're in a certain energetic frequency, vibration that they're vibrating from.
00:47:31
Speaker
And
00:47:32
Speaker
I've learned that the more information and knowledge and understanding I have, the more money that's coming into my vortex, right?
00:47:38
Speaker
But the biggest thing you said was you manage your energy so the right information can come through you so you can give it in the most authentic way.
00:47:49
Speaker
And you know, no matter what, money's always going to flow to you.
00:47:54
Speaker
That disbelief and that paradigm alone is
00:47:57
Speaker
And I feel like that a lot.
00:47:59
Speaker
And to be honest, I'll get in this space when I'm like all the way there, probably like 60%, 70% of the time.
00:48:05
Speaker
And I'm going back into the matrix paradigm.
00:48:07
Speaker
Right.
00:48:08
Speaker
And I think it's just the upbringing, want to come back in like, what you doing?
00:48:12
Speaker
Like, you better get up, you better do this.
00:48:14
Speaker
And it's like, Oh, where I'll sit still and I'll talk to you for an hour and I'll go to my email and I have the biggest deal ever in my life.
00:48:21
Speaker
Yeah.
00:48:22
Speaker
Because you know what?
00:48:23
Speaker
I'm not attached to where's the money, where's the money, where's the money.
00:48:26
Speaker
I'm present.
00:48:26
Speaker
I'm here.
00:48:28
Speaker
And I think a lot of times when we're so attached to outcomes, we don't get the proper income.
00:48:33
Speaker
Yes, that's exactly right.
00:48:36
Speaker
Yep.
00:48:37
Speaker
That's the formula.
00:48:38
Speaker
That is exactly the formula.
00:48:41
Speaker
So by the way, do you have anything where people can find you as far as like any courses?
00:48:46
Speaker
I mean, I know you got a podcast, you got an event coming up.
00:48:49
Speaker
Can you kind of speak on the things that people can kind of see you and learn from you?
00:48:53
Speaker
Yeah.
00:48:55
Speaker
Well, so I have the spiritual investor podcast and the Instagram page.
00:49:00
Speaker
That's just Elizabeth Ralph.
00:49:01
Speaker
I love her page.
00:49:03
Speaker
Thank you.
00:49:04
Speaker
Thank you.
00:49:05
Speaker
I do have a program, the spiritual investor program.
00:49:08
Speaker
So that's just at Elizabeth Ralph.com.
00:49:10
Speaker
You can go there.
00:49:11
Speaker
I also have a free monthly report.
00:49:13
Speaker
If you want just a market update, you kind of want to, you know, get started investing.
00:49:17
Speaker
That's a really easy way.
00:49:19
Speaker
um we have a live workshop coming up which is like a 90 minute workshop answering questions getting people started investing and really really getting them in the energy of money and i've done quite a few of these and people love them so it's just you know we i would say just dm me on instagram if you don't if you don't see the link on my page or whatever and i'm happy to send it to you and i'll share the links in the show notes here once we wrap so i'll have all that okay to show us up
00:49:48
Speaker
Yeah, so I'd say that's probably the best thing is come to that workshop and get your questions answered because it's a great way to, I know everybody kind of feels like, you know, their situation is different.
00:49:59
Speaker
And then how can you be so stressed about money and then take on like, you know, the feelings that we're talking about and things like that?
00:50:05
Speaker
You can, and you don't have to have a certain amount of money to start investing.
00:50:08
Speaker
You don't have to.
00:50:09
Speaker
It's okay if you have debt.
00:50:11
Speaker
You can start wherever you are now.
00:50:14
Speaker
You can actually start.
00:50:16
Speaker
So don't keep waiting for something.
00:50:19
Speaker
Right.
00:50:20
Speaker
Don't keep waiting.
00:50:21
Speaker
Follow her.
00:50:22
Speaker
Listen to the podcast, The Spiritual Investor.
00:50:25
Speaker
And get into your money energy where you can increase the value of who you are based on your perception and paradigm.
00:50:32
Speaker
Elizabeth, I'm so thankful for you.
00:50:34
Speaker
I'm grateful for you.
Gratitude and Final Advice
00:50:35
Speaker
It's definitely a miracle season.
00:50:36
Speaker
This is Bigger Talks podcast, but
00:50:39
Speaker
I got to go check out the podcast and learn more from me and sign up for the newsletter because I'm, you know, I invest things at times as well.
00:50:46
Speaker
But, you know, more information is only going to better my situation, but I appreciate your authenticity.
00:50:51
Speaker
You answered a lot of my internal questions and I know that people listening and who will watch this as well on YouTube will understand money with a more basic concept.
00:51:03
Speaker
Because I think sometimes we overcomplicate and it's really simple.
00:51:05
Speaker
It's like, what's your energy?
00:51:07
Speaker
What are your attachments?
00:51:09
Speaker
How are you managing your energy?
00:51:11
Speaker
And what's normal for you?
00:51:13
Speaker
Like with the $100 question, like $100 a month, like, oh, yeah, it's normal.
00:51:17
Speaker
I know, I love your energy in that.
00:51:19
Speaker
You know, so thank you so much.
00:51:22
Speaker
This was another Bigger Talks podcast discussion.
00:51:25
Speaker
But before we go, I just want to ask one question before we finish.
00:51:31
Speaker
Give me some good inspiration and motivation around people who want to increase their money, anything that just comes to mind.
00:51:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:51:40
Speaker
If you want to increase your money, take a little sweet corner of the space out of the world for yourself.
00:51:52
Speaker
And take a little bit of money that you're actually going to do something different with, that you're going to break the structure with.
00:51:59
Speaker
It could be $50.
00:52:00
Speaker
It could be $500, whatever, whatever that is.
00:52:04
Speaker
Take a little bit of money and do what Eric and I have been talking about today.
00:52:09
Speaker
Go through this and actually like apply what we've been talking about with this non-attachment and then don't get caught up in time because that's an attack.
00:52:19
Speaker
Time is an attachment too.
00:52:22
Speaker
Let it go.
00:52:23
Speaker
Let it go.
00:52:24
Speaker
Stay energetically consistent behind it, whether you're going to invest it or you're going to save and you're going to add to it or whatever.
00:52:30
Speaker
Step into the responsibility, create a new relationship with just that little corner of the world that you've made is yours.
00:52:38
Speaker
That is not going to get your worry and that other money frequency that is so stressful.
00:52:43
Speaker
Just do that and then send one of us a message because we'd freaking love to tell you the best story on that because I guarantee it's going to work.
00:52:51
Speaker
It's going to work.
00:52:52
Speaker
So basically people listen, embody what she just said, listen to this podcast, follow her, listen to her podcast and just get better with money and get better with your energy consistency.
00:53:02
Speaker
So that's all.
00:53:03
Speaker
That's it.
00:53:04
Speaker
We out Elizabeth.
00:53:05
Speaker
Thank you once again.
00:53:07
Speaker
Gratitude.
