Chapters
You can bring things, you can bring situations, you can bring results by picturing them and pulling them into your circle.
Welcome to the Earn your happy podcast. I'm Lori Harder, founder of Light Pink, best selling author, three time fitness world champion, and I'm a crazy, multi passionate entrepreneur. My journey has taken me everywhere from being a broke waitress, barista, retails associate and personal trainer with massive anxiety and no belief in my myself to later becoming a multi millionaire in love with my life. In 2007, my husband and I lost everything. We found ourselves hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. At rock bottom. We had no ideas and I had no education to fall back on. This is when I found personal development and learned everything I could about business. Not by choice, but because I realized no one was coming to save me. The conversations on this podcast are going to let you know that you' not alone and that we all feel like.
We don't know what we're doing.
We're going to give you the tools to help you face your fears, take action, start your business, and grow those massive dreams that are keeping you up at night. It's time to create a life that you can't hide from and put so much on the line that your higher self is forced to come out. You're going to stop waiting for someone to approve of you and you're going to anoint yourself. Because I'm obsessed about building businesses that give women a platform. Platform. I want to feature you. So if you text the word podcast to 310-496-8363, you can get your questions answered on our Q and A segment along with a shout out. And if you rate, review and subscribe to this podcast, we're choosing someone every month to get coached and featured on our show. It just might be you. So let's get started.
And we're back.
We're back with another episode of he said, she Said. And we are going to teach you one of the coolest manifesting visualization tricks. So fast. It's so easy.
Well, no, it's. It's so easy and it's so effective that it actually is something I'm sticking to. And I have a problem sticking to things sometimes, especially when it comes to visualization or, or meditation. And so right before we sat down to record this, I just got done hanging in my inversion chair, which if you don't have one, it is the greatest thing in the world for your knees and your hips and your back. But I was hanging in my inversion chair for five minutes and I did this. Just close my eyes and I did this visualization, this circle visualization that Lori taught me maybe a week or two ago. I have never stuck to something so easily in my life. Now I'm a visual person. So especially if you are a visual person and you like to picture things that you want or you like to daydream, this is totally for you. So, Lori, you have to teach us them.
I also want to say there's a lot of people out there who are not visual, so this can totally work for you. I'm just going to tell you a different way to do it as well. Yeah, I'm going to just make up a statistic here and tell you that you're 90% more likely to get what you want if you do this. And if you believe that it's the truth, which is just so crazy that once you can grasp that whatever you believe is your truth, and if you've been lying to yourself that you can't, and if you've been been lying to yourself that you're not able to do the thing because of something that you've chosen to believe, that's a lie, or that becomes the truth for you as well. But I believe that that's a lie. So I'm choosing. If people are like, I feel like a fraud, I'm like, yes, but if you tell yourself that long enough, or if you quote, unquote, if this works better for you, lie to yourself long enough, it becomes your truth. So let's get back to talking about what this is.
Can I just speak on that quick, though? Here's why I love this type of short, easy visualization is you can feel it. If you're supposed to sit there and be like, I am abundant, I am wealthy, I am right. I understand the reasoning behind that as a. As a form of meditation. But the problem is what you just said. Way too many people let themselves get in the way. Like, yeah, but I'm not. Yeah, but I don't feel that way right now. And then it collapses it right there. Because it collapses right there. That's why they don't stick to it. What I love about a visualization practice like this is it's just kind of daydreaming. It's like proactive daydreaming. And you'll explain in a minute, but you're just picturing how you want your day to go. You're picturing things that you want and you're pulling them into this circle. And anyone can do that without feeling like a fraud.
Yeah, this is so great because there's no. So many people are like, oh, my gosh, I need to sit down and think of the thing I want. I have to write what it looks like. I have to do all of the things. And that feels like work, right? And that's absolutely not what this is. It is really. Now you can take it there, you can do more work around it. So I'll go into a couple stuff steps that you can do, but this really is the easiest thing that you're going to do. It's pretty much just keeping things on your radar, because when things are on your radar, they're going to come into your realm somehow. So I learned this because I did a podcast with a woman named Laura Day, and she wrote a book called the Circle. And essentially, I am giving you. It's not exactly this. I kind of put my own spin on it, but I'm giving you the Cliff Notes of a book. So if you want to read more, you can go read her book called, I believe it's called the Circle by Laura Day. But this is what I took from it and created or just started doing this kind of like circle manifesting routine in the morning that's so easy. So you can either write this on paper or you can just do it in your mind. So you can just wake up, say your little prayer, whatever you do in the morning to wake up, or go.
Get your cup of coffee.
And you literally just picture a circle in your mind, and in the center is just you. You're like the magnet in the center. And I want you to actually picture yourself as the magnet. And you're going to just place people and things inside of the circle that you would desire, that you want for the day, or that you want to collaborate with or interact with. So for me, when I was manifesting investors that I wanted, I would just take those women and I'd put them in the circle, and I would literally just feel them in my presence. And what would that look like if they became investors? Or what would that look like to collaborate? And it was just something so simple that even some days, if I didn't picture, what would that look like? I would just take those people and place them in my circle. And to me, my circle was this world of this field that I was just attracting people or that I wanted to keep in my presence, that I wanted to think about, that I wanted to potentially connect with. And that's what would happen, is I would have them in the forefront of my mind just by putting them in the Circle. And typically what it would do is that day it would make me take action. Unlike, okay, if I want to do something with her and she's in my circle, that means I have to send an email. So it made me get really actionable.
And then it doesn't mean that there.
Has to be action included, though, as well, because what I'm seeing is sometimes I'm seeing these people pop into my life in the craziest of ways just because I put them in my circle over and over again, and I'm thinking about them nonstop. And so it's just insane the different miracles that have showed up because of it. Now, if you're a person who isn't visual, I want you to actually just keep a notebook every day that you draw the circle, and whether it's the same circle every single day, you just redraw it and re put those new people in there so that you actually physically feel yourself writing their names, writing the things that you desire. Put yourself in the middle. Just put me or put your name or draw a stick figure, whatever the hell you want, and just put everything that you want into that circle. It's an actionable way to bring things to the forefront of your mind and shift your energy into the feeling of what it would actually feel like to be the person who could attract these people, who would collaborate with these people, and who would have them in your life. It's like a complete energy shift, and it's so fast. I mean, you can literally do this in under a minute.
I have nothing to say. I was just sitting here listening. I'm like, you just described this absolutely perfect. The only thing I would add to it is you're talking a lot about bringing people in your life, because that's big for you right now, right? You can bring things, you can bring situations, you can bring results by picturing them and pulling them into your circle. We have a big dinner tonight with some really cool people, and it's the first time that we're all going out to dinner together. So I pulled them all into my circle. I pictured us at the restaurant that we're going to. I pictures laughing, having a good time, everybody having the perfect energy together. And it kind of put my anxiety at ease of, oh, God, I sure hope all these big names get along together. You know what I mean? And so it's not just the people you want to bring in. It's the results. It's, oh, my God. I put our. Our cryptocurrency account into the circle today, and I pictured the results I wanted today. I mean, it's a really cool process.
Love that.

Well, Chris, we're going to take a little break right here before we maybe give them a few more tips because we have to tell them about a new company that we just invested in that we're obsessed with. Because it actually is a really, really huge opportunity for some of you who might be looking for a new new career path. Maybe you're passionate about health and wellness. Maybe you're super ready to take control of your own des destiny. And we have to tell you about Squeeze. And the reason I'm so excited about this is because it is a better massage experience from the founders of Dry Bar, who have completely revolutionized the $16 billion massage industry. And they have a proprietary app that allows guests to book, pay, set personalized preferences, tip rate, review all at your fingertips so that after your massage, you know when you're feeling that like, almost like that crazy, like you don't even know where you're at because you're just in like mass bliss and you have Massage face, you can just float on out and it's absolutely stress free with no awkward exchanges, no wait times. Just a really good feel good experience.
Thank God, because I hate that part, right? You've been laying on your face, your nose has been dripping, whatever, you're supposed to go out and you're supposed to pay at that point. It's the worst experience ever when you have to go deal with a front desk person. So that's why we chose to invest in Squeeze for that reason. But here's why I did. Because I've got this criteria right when I decide to go through what are we gonna invest and what do we don't hit hit all four out of four of our criteria. And the thing I love the most was it is interrupting an already successful industry. And that's criteria number three for us every single time. Is is it something that is in a successful industry but a disruption, positive disruption to it. And this fits the mold perfect. And here's the last thing I love about it. The franchises are incredible investments for anybody that wants a business, but they feel like they also need some guidance. Like if you're going from having a boss and having a support team to oh my God, I'm supposed to run my own business. The thing I love about this particular franchise is they give you the branding, they give you the roadmap, they tell you exactly what to do, when to do it. It's freaking turnkey.

Let's get back to it because I just want to say there is something magical about keeping things on the forefront of your mind. I'm actually going to create a board in my office with my circle every single day. Because there's something about actually tangibly seeing it for me too. I can visualize all day long, but just looking up. And even if my brain, like unconsciously sees what's in the circle, I am always more likely to put my actions towards that.
Babe, I just pictured a whiteboard with like, take tape and make a permanent circle and then you just write what you want in a circle every single day. Holy crap, we're doing it. I'm gonna put one in my office. We're gonna get one in your office.
I feel like I could create a Circle product.
I know. And now you just told 50,000 other people how to create that circle product. So now we've got a race to market. Dammit.
It's a race, you guys. So this is so much. And you know, I still love meditating, I still love longer visualizations. But I gotta be honest, right now, my time, I just feel like I don't have time. And of course that's made up and all of the things. But what I'll tell you what I'll tell you is that it's efficient and it works. So I want to hear if this works for you and what you're putting in your circle.
