If something's not going right, there is definitely something that you can personally change in order to shift that. And sometimes that looks like a boundary, sometimes that looks like less time with people. Sometimes that means shifting a or shifting the amount of time you spend even with a family member if they're not in line with what you are believing.

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 myself to later becoming a multimillionaire 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're not al 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. I want to feature you.

Share it with a friend for me because I'm telling you, there are so many good things in there. And we took three months to come up with these gifts for you guys. So today on the podcast, I want to talk to you about core values. Meaning I know that you have so many things that you live by. I have so many things that I live by. But have you actually taken time to write them down for your life, like a manifesto for your life, or have you actually taken the time for your business? Now, there's a couple different reasons why this is going to help you is because when problems arise in your life and in your relationships or in your business, it's easy to be able to reflect back and say, where did this go wrong? Where was the breakdown? And especially in your business business, if you have somebody or something that's like not necessarily aligned with it, you can say, these are the core values. This is where we are at. How can we get back to this place? It's a beautiful way not only to guide in your business, but in your relationships. Chris and I use it all the time. Like, hey, we agreed to saying that we were going to get bigger than any problem. And that's one of our core values, is to get bigger than any problem. Meaning not to shrink back, not to do less than. Not to get smaller, not to make our life smaller or ourselves smaller, but to say, hey, how can we get bigger than this? Like, where do we need to grow? Where do we need to grow around this? How do we need to overcome this and really find the strength to dig deep, to create the thing that actually gets bigger than this problem. And when one of us is not aligned with that, we gently nudge each other along and remind each other, hey, remember when we agreed to this in our marriage that instead of saying, you know, I give up or I can't do this or I don't know what to do, those are not solutions. The solution is always to ask the question first. Okay, what would it look like if we had to get bigger than this problem? What would be the creative ideas to get around this? And I just want to share some of the core values that I've actually made with my team at Light Pink and created together. And maybe you can pull some of these not only for your business, but for your life as well. And these are in no particular order right now because we are still piecing these together into a beautiful document and PowerPoint in order for us to be able to reflect back on these.

Does anyone else consider meal prepping, grocery.

Number 11. Play the movie all the way to the end and play out the most winning scenario. Go with that scenario. So these are 11 that we have started with. I have a feeling these are going to move into 20. I have a feeling that maybe after we do 20, we'll tighten them up and they'll become really, really clear as we work through all of the different things that come up in a business and come up with just working with people and being in relationship. I don't know about you, but I do know for me that relationships are our biggest teachers. My family, my friends, my business. It is the fast track to massive soul awakening and refining. So you guys, I hope that you enjoyed these core values and maybe grabbed something from some of ours. And if you're not clear on what those are, have a strategy day. Have a day where maybe you even sit down with your partner. It's the end of the year. I think this is a great time to say, what do we want for ourselves? And if you don't have a partner, maybe you sit down with a friend or you just sit down by yourself, light a candle, listen to some great music and say, what do I want from my life? What do I want for my business? What standard do I want to hold myself to, to show up in? Chris and I recently at a couple's mastermind that we run, made every couple have a manifesto for their life and family and marriage and it was one of the coolest things to create with them and one of the coolest things to read. We wrote them at the beginning of 2020 and we just had our last meeting together or our last meetup together with these couples. We had three different trips and we surprised them with these manifestos that they wrote at the beginning of the year in picture frames. And it was such a beautiful thing to go back to and also for them to remember. It was just a beautiful moment of like, wow, I love these words that we wrote. I love that we stuck to them. And I love that I'm going to put these on my wall somewhere where the whole family can read them. So we say, this is who we are. This is how we act when times are tough. This is how we support each other. And it's just a remembrance of if we show up this way, we know that our life is going to be on the track that we want. Right? And that it's always our responsibility. There's always our responsibility in every single breakdown in the relationship. And it's just something to remember that if something's not going right, there is definitely something that you can personally change in order to shift that. And sometimes, you know, that looks like a boundary. Sometimes that looks like less time with people. Sometimes that means shifting a network or shifting the amount of time you spend even with a family member if they're not in line with what you are believing. So I'm sending you guys so much love. I know for some people the holidays are a bit of a challenge. And I just want you to remember that. Do what you need to do in order to take care of your soul in order to take care of your family during this time. Even if that means big changes, even if that means maybe not showing up as much to certain family things, but just really, really sit and think about what it looks like to create the memories that you want and taking charge of what that would look like. And the first few years of that are not always easy. But I want remind you that if you stick to these core values, if you stick to your mission and what you want your life to look like, eventually your reality will match your desires in time if you keep on pushing up against those challenges.

So I love you guys.

I just want you to know I'm sending you the most massive hug and I'm just so grateful for you. As this year wraps up, I will see you on the next episode. Bye Bye, Sam.
