Do you feel like you're kind of at like a block right now? Because again, you've sold, you know, I don't know, 5 or 10 million copies of your books, you've got coaching program, you've got all these core success, financial freedom, all these different things. But is there like a level you've reached that you feel like, okay, well, can I break through that? This is so much now and I feel abundant, but could you break through?
If I want. If I could decide what I want the next thing to be, yet I'm still in that sort of incubation period of like, what would be fun, give me energy and have meaning. I'm getting there. Like, I definitely feel like I'm getting there and I'm doing a lot of things that meet those requirements in the meantime. But it's not the big.
What's your biggest, what's your biggest fear or insecurity around money right now?
That I don't know what to do with it when I make it. Like, I'm good at making it. My bookkeeper called me one day and she's like, would you please just open a savings account at your bank? Because I had like a million dollars in my checking account. This was a while ago. I finally got my. So I've hired financial plan. Like, I've hired people who. Grown ups who know what they're doing with money, but like, I'm teaching myself about it, but I find it boring. I find investing boring and confusing and out of my league. So luckily there are amazing people who know what they're doing. So I have finally gotten that team together.
Gotcha.
And there is a little tiny part of me, if I gave it any attention, that is a little scared it's all gonna go away.
Really?
Yeah. But I don't. I'm not. It's not that bad. And I probably should not even speak it out loud, right? Yeah.
Well, you're being honest about it. I think there's one thing about speaking it out loud so it doesn't happen, but another thing about saying it so it doesn't have power over you.
Right? Yeah. You know, it's like, we'll take that version. You're afraid of it.
Like you're afraid to have the conversation around money. Yeah, I'm all believer. Like, don't speak into something in existence you don't want to happen. But I think, you know, when I started talking about my fears and my shame and my insecurity, it actually felt like the poison was coming out of me. And now I can see it outside of me, or I could have a conversation with it, as opposed to it being in me and afraid to talk about.
Right.
And then I could get coaching about it.
Right.
And then I could. Okay, let me create a game plan. Okay. Well, I'm afraid of it, but now I have a coach to help me, you know, invest it the right way and whatever I need to do.
Yeah.
You know, so.
Yeah.
As opposed to ignoring it and just. I hope I don't lose it, but I don't want to speak about it.
Right. That's a good point. That is a good point. Okay, I'll tell you another one. The. The other one is that I'm gonna make too much of it, and I won't. And it is. It's kind of like the same as the first one, but I won't know what to do with it. Like, I'm scared of it coming in too fast and too much because it's gonna bury me alive almost. Yeah, I know. I know. And so this is why. So I bury me alive kind of.
