Let's do this thing.

Hey. Hey. Welcome back to another episode of the Leadership Formula Podcast. I'm your host, Tracy o', Malley, and today is going to be a short and sweet BTE kind of episode. A big Tracy energy kind of episode. It has been an intense week. And you guys, if you've been listening to me, you know I love intense. I eat intensity for breakfast. It's an enneagram8 thing for sure. Now, there have been times I've manufactured that and it's not as delicious, but this week was an intense week with all of my clients. Corporate, private, VIP clients, Enneagram typing session people, families. Like everybody was feeling the intensity. And that isn't always a bad thing. And I'm not just talking for my Enneagram Eights. Sometimes things need to get uncomfortable and conflict needs to happen for growth and change. Some of you are conflict avoidant, right? And I'm here to tell you, sometimes we need temporary conflict in our life, whether it's internal, external, for us to raise our hand and say, yes, I really want to grow. And I. I see the podcasts you're listening to. I see the things you share on Instagram about wanting certain things, and you're ready to uplevel your life and you're here for it and all the things. And I believe you. I do believe that's what you want. What I don't always believe is that you're willing to do what's required to have it. Yes, I know. And I was one of those people. So I want you to know this is coming with zero judgment. And some of you come by it innocently. You don't even really know what's required because the yahoos that you're following or hiring even have manipulated their marketing so well to make you believe all you have to do are these little things and poof, you're in the 2%. It's not how it works. There is a reason why, you know, I've said this probably three or four times this week. There's a reason why there aren't coaches that do the stuff that I do. And I, by no means am nobody's fucking guru. I am not a guru. However, I am one hell of a guide. I am one hell of a guide to show you the parts in you that need to be addressed, that need to be worked through, that need to be felt in order for you to truly transform your life. I am not a guru. And anybody that tells you they are are assholes. Okay, I'm fired up today, but I know there's so many of you that want to be in that top 2%. And I don't just mean financially, because there's a lot of freaking people in the top 2% that are heinous and miserable. I'm talking about the 2% that feel that emotionally, physically and financially. That's the holy grail. That's the trifecta that you are aiming for. And I gotta tell you, it was 10 years ago. I was sitting in rehab. Yeah. Wasn't at the best place in my life. I realized that I wanted something different. I was that girl saying, I want to uplevel my life. I want this. But I wasn't willing to do what was required. And I didn't have the right tools in the toolbox in order to get there. And sometimes we have to humble ourselves enough to put ourselves in front of the right person. And this is going to take discernment and humble pie and a real dose of honesty with yourself in order to put yourself in front of the right people to guide you to this process. Sometimes. Can you do it on your own? Yeah. Is it complicated? And is it hard to see your blind spots? Absolutely. Absolutely. There's no way in hell I could have done any of what I've done without the guides I've picked up along the way. And I've moved through different guides, I've gotten different perspectives as I have cleared wreckage. There's been new levels, new levels, new devils. But in order for you to be in that 2%, you're going to have to do a lot of shit that's. That's required. With great reward comes great responsibility. And you know, the people that work with me privately, my private one on one VIP clients, they get the most depth of the guidance. And I've cried several times with them this week because I've had to say really hard things to them with love and compassion and have said, the next level that you're asking for is on the other side of this conversation or this conversation or this move you need to make. And it's terrifying. It feels like I saw this TikTok this week. It freaked me out. I don't know if you've seen it. I think it was a SportsCenter Instagram page. And this is how this work can feel sometimes on this TikTok or reel. It was this girl from Canada on a 20 meter diving board, you know, the diving platform. And she had a GoPro hooked to her head. And you see the point of view from 20, 19 meters up. Holy shit. My heart was racing and hers was too. She was like talking to herself and then pumping herself up. And then there came the point where she had to just do it. And a lot of the work that is waiting for you in that 2% range is going to feel like that. It won't always feel like the adrenaline rush that she got when she got into the water. But there are times on the other side of the really hard conversations, the hard moves you have to make, the boundaries you have to set up, the people you have to let go, where that 2% is waiting for you. It is not easy. I'm in another season of that currently, right now, emotionally. And it doesn't mean I want you to know that if you find yourself like this, like I am in a season where this is happening, that it doesn't mean you didn't do a good enough job the first time. I think when we co sign ourselves into this personal development world or even have people that coach us and then we have new things come up, we think that I didn't do a good enough job, especially my enneagram ones and threes, even some of my eights out there. Right? It doesn't mean that I know that I am in this season because there's another level that I'm about to explore into and I feel it even in the midst of the uncomfortableness of what's required to be in that 2%. It doesn't mean it's fun. It doesn't mean it's easy. It does not mean that it's convenient or polished up and prettied and I can package it in a time frame that suits me just fine. That's not how this works. True surrender means no contingency plan. This means I want to be in the 2% emotionally, physically and financially. And I am willing to do what is required if that means I have to let go of people, places and Things, resources, finances, whatever it takes, I am here for it. God, the universe will act in your favor when you truly surrender. And just saying the words is not a surrender. I used to play that game. It's like you can do all the affirmations, you can do all the beautiful abundance walks, you can do all the manifesting practices, you can do all the prayers, you can do all the meditations, you can do all the fucking yoga, you can do all of it. But if you are not willing to take the action required in conjunction with that, you're just doing some really cool fluffy ass shit. I'm just going to be really, really honest with you. The real magic happens when you fully surrender and then take action. What is that action? Well, you have somebody that knows how to guide you through the process, first and foremost. And I know that this has been on my heart all week long. I've been completely wiped out because the work that I do with you is, I don't want to say intense in a bad way, but it is like, holy shit, we're at the top of that 20 meter platform and we know that the rush, the beauty, the gifts, all the things that we have been wanting and calling into our life all this time is at the bottom of that pool and we have to take that jump and it's really hard sometimes you gotta be shoved off of it, even if it's a gentle, beautiful, embracing shove. And you know what? I want you to know that I take that jump with you. I really, really do. And that's why I've been so wiped this week. It's why I've been non existent on social media and I'm okay with that. I know the work that we are doing together is life changing legacy kind of shit. And I don't just mean the legacy that you leave in a will and trust. Financially that's great and I'm doing that and that's really cool. But the legacy. I know if you're a listener of this podcast and if you follow me at all, the kind of legacy you want to leave is the one in the people that you have made an impact. Whether it's people that you choose to raise, whether it's people that you choose to lead, whether it's people you choose to love. I know that legacy to you means impact. And impact doesn't necessarily mean millions and millions of people, but it could be the compound effect of the work. With 1, with 2, with 10, it doesn't matter. But it's going to require you to find yourself in that 2% and that 2%. I mean, think about it. It's pretty quiet up in that 2% range. It can be lonely sometimes, it can be painful sometimes. But if you say you want to make an impact, if you say you want to be in that 2%, this is what's required. And I am honored to take many of you through the process to guide you through it. Again, I'm not your guru, but I will, with love, with compassion, with tenacity, with resilience, with energy, with so much fucking love, guide you through the process. And if you are listening, just take it as a sign. I definitely believe that when the teacher or when the student is ready, the teacher appears. And I am right here with you. I'm right here with you. I am not going anywhere and I have your fucking back. Now, that being said, you got to take some action. You have to. You have to get uncomfortable, whether it means financially, emotionally, physically, whatever it means, if you really want what you say you want, it requires action. And I honestly may or may not be the person for you, but I believe that there is something in this message right here, right now, that is calling you to go to my website, traceyomally.com go to the work with me section. Third option down currently is an application to work one on one with me with my private VIP stuff. And I think that, you know, it's my favorite work to do. I do. I mean, I'm working with companies like Google and YouTube and John Deere and massive companies. And no matter how big that gets, the one on one work with you, the compound effect that I know is going to happen through our time together is my favorite kind of work. And I will never stop doing it. Never. Now, the accessibility of that will change for sure. The investment that will be required of that because of the time will absolutely change over time. I want you to know before the end of the year, if this is something you really want to do, pull the trigger now. Because things are going to change in 2023 with how I'm able to do that. I'll probably only be able to take one person at a time instead of the five or six that I do. And it's getting to that point. If you want to be in that 2%, you're going to have to take the leap. You're going to have to get to the edge of that platform and say, fuck it, I'm going for it. And I want to be in the trench with the person I know that can guide me through the muck and the ick and the greatness. Because some of you have even an equal difficult time in the greatness. Like me, I have a hard time in the joy because I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. I want to be able to guide you through that as well, to learn how to celebrate and to be okay desiring things without fear that the rug is going to be pulled out from underneath you. But it's going to take you taking action. If you have questions, you can hit me up on Instagram @tracyomalley or go to the website traceyamelly.com, the work with me section. I love you so much. I know that when you post what you post and say you want what you want, you really do mean it. You've been treading lightly with the wrong people. You have. You have. You haven't done the right things that will actually move the needle for you. You've taken action. You've taken some action and I applaud all of it. But to move the needle, you're going to maybe need some bte. Like I said, I'm not a guru. But I will be in the trenches with you. And you will know you will never be more seen, heard, understood, and even valued for all the messiness that you bring. Because honestly, my greatest parts are my messy parts. Honestly, the things that I hid for the longest time and carried the most shame about are what make me freaking awesome. And I want you to have that same freedom in the 2% emotionally, physically and financially so that you can truly, truly, truly leave a legacy and make the impact in this lifetime that you say you you want to do. And I know that you are here to do. I love you. I'm so grateful for the time that you take to tune into this podcast. If this has made an impact on you, please. It means the world to me. I don't like asking for shit. I really don't. But I would love it if, if at all, I've ever made an impact in your life and, and you love the work that I'm doing here in this.
