So I'm really excited to dive in. Let's just go ahead and get started. Welcome to the Makeshift Happen podcast. I'm your host, Samantha Daly, entrepreneur, life coach, and your no BS bestie, here to bring you all things mindset, manifestation, and personal development. This podcast is designed to help you expand your mind and uplevel your life.

So turn the volume up and roll the windows down if you're coming along for the ride.

Let's go make shift happen. Okay, so this This episode was actually inspired by a conversation that I had with one of my business coaching clients, and we were talking about her journey from, you know, studying psychology at Harvard, getting her degree, getting a really prestigious job offer, moving into the corporate world, and then feeling dead inside, as many of us do. Again, this is not the story for everybody, but this is just like this specific example that kind of inspired this conversation. And so we were talking about, because now she is an entrepreneur, she works for herself, she's a mindset coach, she runs her business online. And we were talking about some of the current struggles that she is facing in her business and her own mindset blocks that she was currently working through. And we came across this idea of looking at the internal friction that was going on versus the external friction that was going on., and I loved this idea so much, so I knew that I had to share it with you guys on the podcast. So I'm gonna explain it here in a second. So basically, you know, when she was graduating and getting this job offer and moving into the corporate world, um, she had a lot of external validation of like, obviously her parents were really proud of her. The people around her were like, wow, this is amazing. Like, you know, like, she went to Harvard, for Christ's sake, you know. She's from a really small country in Europe, so it's even like a bigger deal, you know, to kind of like go to Harvard and get a degree and all of that. And so she had a lot of external validation, a lot of people really proud of her and applauding her and praising her and being like, yes, this is amazing, like, you're on the right path here, this is this is the road to success. But at the same time, what was happening internally was she had a lot of internal friction, meaning like she felt misaligned. And, um, you know, she's, she's talked about this before, but like the first, even the first day of her job, she came home and basically broke down in tears because she just felt so hopeless of like, is this really what the rest of my life is going to look like until I retire? Like, it was just this huge disconnect of, oh my gosh, like, this is not who I am. This is not how I want to live. This is not in alignment with my values. You know, she's someone who really values freedom and adventure and travel. And being able to work from anywhere and get outside and go for a swim in the middle of the day and, you know, go on little trips or getaways whenever she wants to. And like, those things don't always coincide or match up with the corporate life, just depending on how it works out for you. And, you know, obviously where you work and what your hours look like and what your position is. But For her, it was like a moment of realization of like, oh fuck, like I have gotten myself into something that I just know on a soul level is not for me. It's not right. It just, it feels wrong. And so she had this interesting experience, right, of where everybody else, the world around her, family, parents, friends, whoever, professors being like, yay, you know, this is amazing. So excited for you. So happy. Like you're on the road to success. You're doing all the right things. Yet internally she was like, oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. I don't like this. I don't like this. Oh my God. Like, this is bad. This is wrong. I need to get out. Right. And then we flipped the script on that and kind of took a look at what her experience is now being an entrepreneur and having an online business and working for herself. And now she has more of a sense of internal validation of like within herself she feels fulfilled and aligned with the work that she's doing. And she loves being able to create her own schedule and really lean on those values of, of freedom and adventure and, you know, time freedom and all of that. Yet what's happening externally is now where the friction lies, right? Navigating the opinions of other people, like people in her life or family or whoever, you know, being worried about how she's going to make enough money, or, you know, looking at this career path of being an online mindset coach, like on Instagram, I guess, if you look at it from the outside, and people being like Okay, you know, like, good for you. Like, we're glad, we're happy, we support you. But it's not as exciting to the outside world as the shiny, you know, corporate job position was, because that was seen as like more prestigious. It's something that was like traditionally a sought-after career path. And, you know, working online or utilizing Instagram to, uh, make money or attract clients or whatever is not necessarily seen as like a well-respected thing in our society yet, right? We still are very much dealing with that like influencer stigma, thinking that, you know, these people that work online, they don't actually do anything. Um, they make, they make way too much money for what they actually provide. Uh, it like, it's a joke, you're not actually a professional. Like all these stories, right? All these stigmas. And so it's just so interesting in this conversation when we look at where the friction lies and understanding that even when you choose yourself and your dream and what feels in alignment to you and what feels best to you, you don't get to go without any friction. Because I think that's a big misconception as well of like, oh well, I hate my job and if I just worked for myself, then everything would be perfect. And it's not always the case. You know, I think we're always gonna have challenges and struggles whatever we choose, right? So working corporate or working for yourself, both are objectively quote unquote like hard, right? So it's about choosing which hard you prefer, right? I'm sure you've heard this concept before of choosing your hard. This applies to so many things like, If you're on a fitness journey, you know, you can choose the hard experience of staying stuck in old patterns and not reaching the level of health or vitality that you desire, or you can choose the hard of changing your habits, patterns, and behaviors and doing things that are uncomfortable to begin doing and at the beginning because you have to get into that new routine, but then feeling rewarded for the sense of health and vitality that you desired, right? Or you can feel the immediate validation of, you know, sleeping in or staying at home and, and not going for that walk or not going for that workout, right? It's like both options are always going to have a piece of validation and a piece of friction. And I think that's so important to recognize. And it's really about not trying to look for which path or which option in life has no resistance or no friction or no difficulty, but instead looking for the difficulty that you prefer because the validation is more worth it. And I don't say validation meaning validation from other people, right? We're talking about Could be outer— it could be outer validation or it could be inner validation, right? Like with this example with my client when she was, you know, getting her degree and getting into that corporate job, she had lots of external validation and that, like, you know, for a time feels really great. That's like a huge dopamine hit when everybody is applauding you and looking at you and being like, yes, this is amazing. So happy for you. Go you. We were so proud of you. Like, that's a massive dopamine hit. But is it enough to sustain or withstand the internal friction that was going on for her when her body was like, I don't like this, this isn't right for me, this isn't meant for me, I feel off here, you know, versus working for herself where she feels a lot of internal validation of like, I feel so aligned with my mission and my purpose and this is what I'm passionate about and I love my schedule and what I get to do every day and waking up and creating my own hours. Like, feels really validating and juicy and exciting. But then I have all these people around me, either silently or out loud, judging me or worrying about me or just not viewing me in as positive of a light as they did when I was making different choices, right? So either way, it's hard. But the key here is that in one scenario she was disappointing other people, and in the other scenario, she was disappointing herself, right? So when she was in that corporate job, the reason that she felt so much internal friction was because she was disappointing herself. She was disappointing her soul mission, her inner knowing, her intuitive guidance of what was right for her and what was meant for her. And in the other scenario of working for herself, she now may be disappointing other people because her life doesn't look the way that maybe they view as the most quote-unquote successful or prestigious or safe or secure or whatever else. Right? So in one scenario, we're likely going to be disappointing others, or we'll be disappointing ourself. And if you've read Untamed by Glennon Doyle, you will know that she has this quote where she says, it's your job to disappoint as many people as you need to in order to never disappoint yourself. And I was listening to a podcast on her show the other day, and she was, you know, reciting this quote and talking about this idea. And she was saying this to her daughter. She told her daughter, like, honey, it's your job to disappoint as many people as you need to in order to never disappoint yourself. And her daughter was like, even you? Like, am I meant to even disappoint you, Mom? And Glennon was like, especially me, especially me. And then she went on to talk about this idea of what the word disappoint really means. Like, when we look at that word and when we dissect it, right, appoint is like to assign someone or to appoint someone. And so if we're disappointing, basically we're like unassigning or unappointing someone from some role in our life. So doesn't it like make the most sense that the guidepost for your life and future should be you above anybody else? Like, we have to start appointing ourselves as the guidepost for our life and our future and disappointing everybody else from that role. And that will likely involve disappointing them, right? And so the last thing that I kind of want to close this segment with is this, this idea of, you know, breaking out of your comfort zone, doing new things, going after your dreams, chasing your goals, manifestations, whatever. Because so many of us get stuck in the autopilot patterns of our life, and we try to change and then we fall back, and it can be really challenging. And so I want to remind you with this last kind of final point that you, you will get to a place of being able to break out of your comfort zone. You will, you will, um, you will finally get to that place and start making moves towards your dream life when the discomfort of staying where you are is greater than the discomfort of making change. And so you can sit around and you can wait for that to naturally happen, because I truly believe that it will, which is why so many people get sunk all the way to some sort of rock bottom in their life before they wake up and start making radical changes, because they're like, okay, this actually fucking sucks down here. Like, whether it's like in a relationship or with finances or with jobs or whatever, they get sunk all the way to this like rock bottom place where they're like, I can't take it anymore. Like this. No. Like, finally I'm putting my foot down. I'm saying no, fuck it. I'd rather leave this person or quit this job or like get my shit together and make changes. Like, I'm done with this place. I cannot handle it anymore. I think that we, we naturally will get to that point, but you can also choose to not have to go that far down in order to start ascending upward. You can sit around and you can wait until your life gets so uncomfortable in the way that it is, until the universe keeps banging, banging on the door, being like, hey, this is out of alignment, this is out of alignment, this is out of alignment, this isn't serving you, this sucks. Look at how it's hurting you. Look at how it's disappointing you. Look at how it's bothering you. Look how it's frustrating you. Look how it's stressing you. Look how it's pulling you in all these different directions. You feel drained. You feel bad. You feel sick. You feel awful, right? The universe will keep letting you know that your shit's out of alignment until you get to that rock bottom place where you're like, okay, I can't handle it anymore. This level of discomfort is way more than the level of discomfort of me actually like quitting this or leaving this or, or making radical changes. You will get there. You will, which is, you know, um, kind of sucks, but like you will, you know, the universe will keep banging you over the head stronger and stronger every time that you don't yet learn your lesson and start to make moves to get into alignment with your inner knowing. But you also don't have to wait for that to happen. You don't have to wait until everything sucks so fucking bad that you can't take it anymore. You can choose to make leaps and jumps and bounds before that. But what that requires is a level of courage. What that requires is for you to feel fearful and Do it anyway. Okay.

What that requires is for you to really tune in to your intuition and understand what your soul is asking you for and starting to disregard what is seen as right or correct or successful or acceptable from the outside and really start choosing your life for you from the inside. And that's a lot easier said than done. We'll recognize that, right? Which is why A lot of us are in therapy or counseling or working with a coach, or, you know, we have some sort of mentor, because these are the decisions in life that are very tricky and challenging to make. We feel like we're stuck between a rock and a hard place because, again, every decision has pros and it has cons. You know, every decision is going to, you know, bring us something good but also have potential setbacks to it. And so we get lost in making those decisions, and we start asking everybody around us, like, oh, we ask our sister and our parents and our brother and our friends and our whoever, like, what should I do? What would you do? What would you do? What would you do? And it's, it's really important that we stop concerning ourselves with what everybody else would do and we focus on what we would do, because nobody else is you. Nobody else has the inner guidance that you have. Nobody else has the life that you have, the experiences that you have, the hopes, the dreams, and the values that you have. Nobody else can make your decisions for you. And, you know, a lot of the times, if we really look at how we've gotten into misalignment, whether it's in career or relationship or whatever area of our life, it's likely because we've allowed other people to make decisions for us. We've allowed other people's opinions to be louder than our own. We've accepted and taken on other people's belief systems or ideologies, and we've lived our lives through them, either consciously or unconsciously. And that is the initial reason why we arrive to the discomfort of like, fuck, I don't like where I am. I don't like the reality that I'm living in. Like, what is going on here? And then we go and we seek that same advice from outside of ourselves to solve the problem that the external advice created, right? Like, it's completely asinine when you think about it. So It's not about doing what other people would do or doing what your parents or your friends or your siblings would do. It's about doing what you would do. And you may be in a place where you don't know what you would do because you've been so disempowered and disconnected from your own inner guidance and your inner voice and your inner knowing. And that is why we do this work. Work. That is why we do this personal development work, why we work with coaches and mentors and get into these programs and learn these things and, you know, discover more about ourselves and lift our level of inner confidence and our sense of self-esteem, because it's so important for us to guide our lives from within instead of from without, you know, from, from the external sources. So anywho, if this is resonating with you, um, as I'm, I'm sure that it is because I know so many of us can relate to this, myself included, um, I'd love for you to take a screenshot of this episode and share it to your Instagram stories or send it to a friend who you think would resonate. And now I want to get into these investing codes for creators. Okay? So if you are someone who is working online or even offline, like you own a business of any kind, or you run a side hustle, or you want to in some capacity, this is going to be really helpful for you because, you know, anytime we have a product or service or something that we hope that people will purchase, we want people to buy from us. Because we have these incredible offers or services that we know could really help someone or change their life in some way. But, you know, like, you may be struggling to get the level of sales that you want, or you may be struggling to get the type of soulmate clients to work with that you would really want to work with, you know, like, whatever a soulmate client is to you. But For me, some things that come to mind when I think of soulmate clients are women who are really committed to the journey, who are going to show up to their calls, who are going to come prepared with questions, who are not going to be flaky or unreliable with their payments, who are going to be active in my community and, you know, conversing with the other women and responding and sharing. And those are like my soulmate clients. And so if you're a creator of any kind, if you're a business owner of any kind, like, obviously we want people to buy our service and we want really epic people to buy our service or to work with us, you know. So how can we start to make this happen more? How can we start to shift this energetically so that we are getting more clients and we're getting more soulmate clients through our own investments into ourself. And this is a key point. So I'm going to mention 3 things here, 3 really big codes for investing and how to make that something that impacts your business, your type of clients, and your level of income. So the first one is like First and foremost, you know, are you investing in yourself, period, right? Because if you are selling a product or service and you are asking people to invest in you or in your product, it's important that you are an energetic match for that and that you are also doing that in your own life, right? I would feel very out of alignment if I were asking my clients to do something that I myself don't do, right? Like, if I'm asking my clients to practice something or to try something or whatever, or if you're like a health or fitness coach of some kind and you're asking them to follow some kind of protocol or do a certain thing, like, that would be weird if you didn't also believe in that so much that you were doing it yourself, right? Let's say you're like an intuitive eater coach and you're teaching women how to eat intuitively and how to stop binge eating and change their relationship with their body, yet you, you don't practice intuitive eating.

Like, that would be weird, right? It's kind of like the gym teacher that we all had growing up that was like totally overweight, and we're just like, dude, like, fuck you. Like, you know, don't tell me to do this pacer test, to run back and forth, to do— to run a 7-minute mile. Like, I know that you're— I know that you don't exercise. You know, it's like the, the health teacher that we all had that you see them smoking out the back of the high school. I like remember that specifically in high school, and we were all like, dude, you show up to class with these posters about like how smoking kills and to never smoke, and then there you are, you know, smoking a cig on your break. So it's just, it's a, it's a it's a misalignment, right? So if you are asking, hoping, expecting people to invest in you, then you need to be investing in you. So like, yeah, just think about that. Just, just think about that. That's the first one. The second one is, as often as you can, I want you to start paying people how you want to be paid. And I've talked about this before on the money episodes. And if you want more insights into money mindset and money magnetism and all of that, there's a money series on the podcast. You can search Makeshift Happen and the word money, and then all the money episodes will come up. Or you can just scroll back a little bit and you will see in all capital letters at the beginning of the titles of those episodes, like MONEY. Um, so this idea of paying people how you wanna be paid, right? Again, it's about being an energetic match. All of this is about aligning energetically with what it is that you're trying to receive. Yeah, so as often as you can, start paying people how you want to be paid. Like, how do you desire to be paid? Do you want— what is the mood that you want people to pay you with? Do you want people to pay you in excitement or like to pay you begrudgingly? So like, pay your shit that way, whatever it is. Even if it's like your bills, like pay that shit with excitement. And if that means that you have to turn on some like pump-up music before you pay your crazy high gas bill or whatever it is and just be like, I'm abundant as fuck. Like, yes, every dollar I spend comes back to be multiplied. Like, let's do this. I'm so excited to spend these hundreds of dollars because I know thousands are coming back to me. Woo! Let's go.

Here we go.

And then pay the bill. Like, if that's what you have to do, then that's what you have to do. But also, when you're investing in yourself, whether that's through coaches, programs, um, whatever you choose to do to kind of enhance your own personal growth journey, like, pay those people how you want to be paid. And if you can't pay in full, that's totally fine, but make a commitment to be on time with your monthly payments. Because as a coach, creator, influencer, whatever, anybody, business owner of any kind, you want to be paid on time, right? You don't want to have to chase people for their payments. You don't want to have to remind people like, hey, this is your bill, this is how much is due. So don't do that to other people. Start paying people how you want to be paid. Paid people in good energy, with a smile on your face, on time, and if you can, in full, because everybody loves to be paid in full, right? So there's the second one. The third one is to be your own best client. So with this idea of, okay, I want to attract more soulmate clients and it's not happening exactly the way that I would like it to, then this one is for you to start being your own best client. So with the things that you've invested in yourself, whether it's courses, programs, coaches, whatever, we get the point. Like, go into those containers, into those spaces, into those programs, emulating the energy of the type of client that you want to attract, right? So think about when you want to work with someone, how do you want them to show up in that space? And then start doing that yourself. Be your own best client. Show up on time, prepared with questions. Be active in the community or in the Facebook group, or, you know, whatever it is that you hope that your clients will do. Start doing that yourself with the things that you've invested in. And this, again, all 3 of these points are about becoming an energetic match, right? We're working with the law of attraction. Matching the energy that you hope to attract with payments and with how your clients show up. And so the last little anecdote that I wanna share with you is like how this has shown up for me in my personal life. And so at the beginning of, well, I guess at the end of 2020, I made the decision that I was going to invest in a year-long business mastermind with one of my business mentors.. And so this, this year-long business mastermind was quite an investment. And because it's a full year of business coaching and like, you know, so much value provided inside of this container. So maybe some of you know, but I'll share it with you if you don't. Um, I'm in what's called the Queendom, which is the name of our year-long business mastermind. With my business mentor Mel Wells. And this was— I, I've loved the experience, by the way, really great. Like, love all the women inside. Um, several of them have already like been on the podcast because we've connected and they run amazing, beautiful businesses. And it's been such an opportunity for networking and whatever. And it's part of the reason why I was inspired to create my own business coaching program because there's been so much value provided to me from being in a group setting and learning from all these other women who are in the space and running these businesses. And so I'm so excited to bring that experience to my audience, to women who are, you know, maybe like they, they can't afford to get into something like the Queendom yet, or they're not at that level yet. They need a little bit more work on their business before that's something that's available to them, but they want to get started. They want to dive in. They want to invest in themselves. They want to speed up their timeline of their, their business and really like learn from someone who's just a few steps ahead and who has done something that they desire to do. So I'm super excited about Aligned and Ambitious for that reason. And the Queen Dom was like a huge part of that, a huge inspiration of that. And Mel, actually, when I went to Miami and I did like a VIP day with her, we actually came up for— we came up with the concept of Aligned and Ambitious. And, you know, we planned the masterclass and the program and what it was gonna look like and everything that I was gonna offer inside there. So yeah, it kind of just fits perfectly that I'm talking about this right now as the doors are open for Aligned and Ambitious and Yeah, so anyway, I decided to invest in the Queendom. This was going to be a $20,000 investment. I like to be really transparent with prices and things just because I think it's helpful, you know, just for that simple reason. I think it's helpful. So I was like, wow, okay, this is like a lot of money. Um, let me think, let me think, let me think. Like, I was definitely getting nervous. I was definitely fearful to some degree of putting this much money down and worrying that maybe it wouldn't be what I hoped that it was, or I wouldn't get as much out of it, or, you know, like maybe not trusting myself to fully show up in the way that I want to for a full year. Like, that's a big commitment, right? I was, I was, I was definitely like scared. But, you know, there was a part of me that felt like, no, this is so right. This is so— I so align with this individual and how they run their business and the way that they teach and, you know, the goals and things that she's accomplished. Like, I aspire to that. So I feel really called to be in this space, to sit at her table. Like, this feels expansive to me. And so I led with that feeling because it was my intuitive knowing and I was like, yep, okay, we're going to do this. And I was like, you know what, fuck it, I'm going to pay in full. Because I'm embodying the type of client that I want to attract. I'm embodying that energy. I'm becoming the energetic match for what I want to receive. And it's this, this super interesting thing that happens when we invest in ourselves and we do it in that way. We so often make these quantum leaps where it's like, I've seen this happen so many times. People invest in a program and the next day or the next week or the next month, something big comes through for them. They manifest something, or, you know, a client clicks into place or a payment comes through. And it's because you've moved up to a new echelon, a new energy level, and now you are an energetic match for more. You can hold more because you are able to give more, right? You receive more because you've been willing to risk more. And so this is exactly the experience that happened for me. I decided to pay in full for the Queendom. I like almost pooped my pants when I pressed the button, but I did it, went for it. And 30 days later, I kid you not, 30 days later, I made my first $30,000 month, which was a whole new, a whole new level of income in my business that I had not previously hit at all. And I have no doubt that there were, you know, a lot of factors included, but one of the main ones being that by investing in myself at that level, by becoming my own best client and showing up to— in those 30 days, like, showing up to every call, being active in the Facebook group, responding in the Voxer, like, you know, engaging with the other women, like, being present, being there paying in full, by doing all of those things, I upleveled to a new energy level that was capable of receiving more. Like, I have no doubt that that was part of it. Obviously my own actions were included. Like, I had to do stuff, you know, I had to launch a program, I had to put my services out there, I had to show up, I had to be consistent. Obviously I had to take action. But it was such a radical shift for me in terms of, of income level that it only made sense that it was a direct reflection of the investment that I had made in myself and how that allowed me to quantum leap completely. So just thought I would share that with you all because I think it's really important that we understand this as online creators or business owners of any kind. Um, you know, asking yourself these important questions of, am I investing in myself? Am I paying people how I wanna be paid? And am I showing up as my own best client? Those are the 3 questions to ask yourself to get more in energetic alignment with the type of business that you wanna have, the level of income you wanna have, and the type of clients that you desire to call in. So I hope you enjoyed this episode. If you did it again, please share it with someone who you think would resonate. And if you're feeling called to join us inside Aligned and Ambitious, again, the doors are closing on October 12th. So if you're listening to this before then, please go ahead and reach out to me, send me a DM, and I'd be more than happy to figure out if this program makes sense for you and where you're at in your business, and if it's an aligned fit. What I will say about this is that because this is the very first round I'm ever running of this program, you are going to get the most contact with me for the lowest price ever. That's just kind of how it works in the coaching industry when you run a beta round of a program or the very first round of a program. You are going to input the most possible because you don't necessarily have the level of social proof for this specific program yet. And so you're really committed to digging in deep with these clients and getting into the nitty-gritty and answering all of their questions and making sure that they have massive transformations and that they learn everything that they need to learn and that they integrate it into their businesses and they, that they get epic results. Because that is only going to fuel future rounds of the program and help with marketing and social proof and all of those things. Obviously we always want results for our clients, but it's really important for coaches to really pour in heavily in the very first round, especially if it's like a live round, which in this program it is, it's live group coaching. And so You know, it's also gonna be the lowest price ever because again, it's the first time we're offering it. It doesn't have the same level of social proof that some of my other programs like From Burned Out to Badass and Cosmic Cash do because nobody's taken it yet. So this is a crazy opportunity to get in for the lowest price ever with like the highest amount of value probably. So So if it feels aligned for you, I would be so freaking excited to have you and just help you uplevel your business in so many ways and create magic for you in your life and start making your passion your paycheck or your bigger paycheck, whatever that looks like for you. So I'm going to leave it there. Uh, sending you guys so much love and I'll talk to you next week. Bye.
