6. This is Thirty- Five - Reflecting During the Milestones of Your Life

The player is loading ...

Have you ever made a wish list for your life? Or taken the time to reflect during the milestones of your life?
In this week's episode I talk about the list I made 5 years ago when I was 30 and the things I had written out for what I wanted in my life in 5 years.
How I happened to find that note recently and was shocked to see everything I had written down became my reality.

1
00:00:06,172 --> 00:00:06,952
Hey everybody.
2
00:00:06,952 --> 00:00:10,222
It's Chelsea VanBuskirk
with the Heart AF podcast.
3
00:00:10,252 --> 00:00:11,722
Hope you all are doing well!
4
00:00:12,022 --> 00:00:13,522
Today, I'm 35.
5
00:00:14,092 --> 00:00:15,742
It's my birthday, super excited.
6
00:00:16,042 --> 00:00:19,882
I'm singing all the birthday
songs to myself today.
7
00:00:20,182 --> 00:00:21,652
So yeah, 35.
8
00:00:21,652 --> 00:00:23,142
I feel pretty adult.
9
00:00:23,592 --> 00:00:27,052
I feel like that is the age where
you can officially be like, no.
10
00:00:28,032 --> 00:00:29,892
I I'm definitely an adult.
11
00:00:29,922 --> 00:00:32,772
Like I am one of those adultier adults..
12
00:00:33,032 --> 00:00:38,712
Still, there are more adult adults
than myself, but yeah, I feel
13
00:00:38,712 --> 00:00:44,222
like 35 is a good age it makes me
feel anyway that I'm legitimate.
14
00:00:44,342 --> 00:00:48,752
You know, I feel like I always
hang out with older groups,
15
00:00:48,752 --> 00:00:49,982
so I was always the youngest.
16
00:00:49,982 --> 00:00:50,462
And so I
17
00:00:50,562 --> 00:00:56,842
tended to think of myself as less
than, or feeling like I didn't get as
18
00:00:56,842 --> 00:00:59,042
much respect because I was younger.
19
00:00:59,068 --> 00:01:03,082
So 35 feels like it's a legit age
where maybe more people will take
20
00:01:03,082 --> 00:01:04,402
me seriously, because guess what?
21
00:01:04,402 --> 00:01:06,482
I'm an adult and I'm 35, so yeah.
22
00:01:06,973 --> 00:01:10,453
I actually was walking and talking
with a friend who also turned 35 this
23
00:01:10,453 --> 00:01:14,803
year, recently, and we were walking
and talking and I'm like, holy shit.
24
00:01:15,943 --> 00:01:18,893
This means that I was 15, 20 years ago.
25
00:01:19,993 --> 00:01:21,393
Wait 20 years ago.
26
00:01:22,153 --> 00:01:22,793
I was 15.
27
00:01:23,593 --> 00:01:29,233
And that was the point where it
really sunk in just how old 35 is.
28
00:01:29,713 --> 00:01:31,333
Relatively 35 is young.
29
00:01:31,363 --> 00:01:32,023
Right in my head.
30
00:01:32,023 --> 00:01:35,093
When I think of turning 35, like I
said, I was pretty excited about it,
31
00:01:36,023 --> 00:01:40,433
Putting that relation to it, knowing
that I can remember a lot of things from
32
00:01:40,433 --> 00:01:42,563
when I was 15 and knowing that was 20
33
00:01:42,803 --> 00:01:43,593
years ago.
34
00:01:44,363 --> 00:01:47,513
Makes it sound like that
was a long time ago.
35
00:01:47,513 --> 00:01:50,823
Like when you think of a parameter
of 20 years that feels like a
36
00:01:51,003 --> 00:01:52,713
extremely long amount of time.
37
00:01:52,743 --> 00:01:56,213
Like that was more traumatizing.
38
00:01:56,713 --> 00:01:59,303
You know, when you think of
getting older and you come to these
39
00:01:59,303 --> 00:02:03,843
realizations and, maybe having some
big feelings about getting older.
40
00:02:03,843 --> 00:02:06,273
Like that was the moment where
I had some big feelings where it
41
00:02:06,273 --> 00:02:08,073
was like a realization of, wow.
42
00:02:08,103 --> 00:02:08,883
Yeah, man.
43
00:02:10,123 --> 00:02:11,173
I am getting older, right?
44
00:02:11,173 --> 00:02:14,443
There has been a lot that
has happened since I was 15.
45
00:02:14,443 --> 00:02:14,773
Right.
46
00:02:15,103 --> 00:02:16,253
And another year.
47
00:02:16,253 --> 00:02:16,613
It's good.
48
00:02:16,613 --> 00:02:20,603
I mean, every year that you have a
birthday, it's a great day because it's
49
00:02:20,603 --> 00:02:22,643
another year that you've been alive.
50
00:02:22,673 --> 00:02:24,953
It's another year that
you've had life experiences.
51
00:02:25,253 --> 00:02:29,641
I know for myself, there's been lots
of hard things I've gone through in
52
00:02:29,641 --> 00:02:34,411
my life, which I'm sure most people
also have gone through many hard ships
53
00:02:34,491 --> 00:02:36,241
along their life journey as well.
54
00:02:36,601 --> 00:02:39,841
And birthdays give you this
chance to reflect a bit.
55
00:02:40,311 --> 00:02:42,294
And I think 35 is that age.
56
00:02:42,294 --> 00:02:46,728
Like when you get to those, 30, 35,
40, like those big years tend to
57
00:02:46,728 --> 00:02:48,678
be really good reflection points.
58
00:02:48,978 --> 00:02:51,648
I think the first big birthday
is 18 and you're an adult.
59
00:02:51,648 --> 00:02:56,015
And then you have a nice jump in
a couple of years at your 21st
60
00:02:56,015 --> 00:02:58,745
birthday where you're finally
able to legally drink alcohol.
61
00:02:59,055 --> 00:03:01,125
And then after that,
your next birthday is 25.
62
00:03:01,125 --> 00:03:05,485
So you hit some big milestones as you get
into adulthood, you got 18, 21 and then
63
00:03:05,515 --> 00:03:09,685
25, you're like, oh shit, I'm a quarter
of a century old now, this is a big deal.
64
00:03:09,835 --> 00:03:12,205
Like, I feel like that's the first
age where you're like, wow, I'm
65
00:03:12,205 --> 00:03:13,945
actually not a teenager anymore.
66
00:03:13,945 --> 00:03:15,835
I'm actually an adult.
67
00:03:16,085 --> 00:03:18,076
And then you hit 30 and
you're like, oh shit.
68
00:03:18,166 --> 00:03:18,916
I'm out of my twenties.
69
00:03:18,916 --> 00:03:21,826
I'm in that next bracket,
now I'm in my thirties.
70
00:03:21,826 --> 00:03:23,546
That's adulthood.
71
00:03:23,706 --> 00:03:25,479
And now here I am at 35.
72
00:03:25,809 --> 00:03:26,589
This is adulthood.
73
00:03:27,609 --> 00:03:30,639
Like each little milestone and
I'm sure when I hit 40, it's
74
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:31,659
going to be like, oh shit.
75
00:03:31,659 --> 00:03:33,189
Now it's really starting to
feel like I'm getting old.
76
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:34,059
No, just kidding.
77
00:03:34,269 --> 00:03:36,319
I have a lot of friends from their
forties and they're the same.
78
00:03:36,349 --> 00:03:36,679
Right?
79
00:03:36,679 --> 00:03:39,519
Like, I feel like there's a range
of ages where you're all the same
80
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:40,589
and really age is just a number.
81
00:03:41,139 --> 00:03:42,699
I feel like you're only
as old as you feel.
82
00:03:42,699 --> 00:03:46,329
And honestly, a lot of times I still
feel like a teenager and I also still
83
00:03:46,329 --> 00:03:48,169
act like one in certain moments.
84
00:03:48,469 --> 00:03:49,495
So, Anyway!
85
00:03:49,872 --> 00:03:53,502
What I thought was really cool is I
happened to come across this note.
86
00:03:53,532 --> 00:03:54,102
I wrote.
87
00:03:54,382 --> 00:03:55,589
Five years ago in 2017.
88
00:03:56,289 --> 00:03:57,489
So that was a big year for me.
89
00:03:57,489 --> 00:03:58,599
It was a big transitional year.
90
00:03:58,599 --> 00:03:59,842
There was a lot of things going on.
91
00:03:59,842 --> 00:04:03,557
I was kind of coming out of
2016 into 2017, trying to
92
00:04:03,857 --> 00:04:05,387
start a business for myself.
93
00:04:05,387 --> 00:04:09,952
I really had this Ambitious goal of
creating something that was mine.
94
00:04:10,142 --> 00:04:12,298
I was a beach body coach for a long time.
95
00:04:12,298 --> 00:04:14,068
If you guys are familiar with
that company, still a great
96
00:04:14,068 --> 00:04:15,148
company, I'm still part of it.
97
00:04:15,148 --> 00:04:15,508
But.
98
00:04:15,765 --> 00:04:20,505
When I first started in 2012 I really like
went full on and did the whole coaching
99
00:04:20,505 --> 00:04:22,095
thing and grew a team and all this.
100
00:04:22,095 --> 00:04:27,525
And around 2016, I was having a lot
of body image issues and I had done
101
00:04:27,525 --> 00:04:30,555
some bodybuilding competitions and I
was coming out of that and realizing
102
00:04:30,945 --> 00:04:32,833
I had a lot of body dysmorphia.
103
00:04:32,863 --> 00:04:36,523
I had a binge eating disorder
and that wasn't really the space
104
00:04:36,553 --> 00:04:38,517
for me to be having a business.
105
00:04:38,517 --> 00:04:42,547
And as I was still healing my own
food struggles and at that time, I was
106
00:04:42,547 --> 00:04:45,697
really against like this diet culture
and a lot of different programs that
107
00:04:45,747 --> 00:04:49,915
had affected me in my body image and
dieting issues and my binge eating.
108
00:04:49,915 --> 00:04:53,885
So I was trying to start a business that
wasn't affiliated with any other business.
109
00:04:53,885 --> 00:04:56,255
I really didn't want to
sell people products.
110
00:04:56,255 --> 00:05:00,305
Like I wanted to step away from that
wanted to focus on just helping people,
111
00:05:00,305 --> 00:05:03,635
being real, sharing my struggles and
sharing how I'm getting through my
112
00:05:03,635 --> 00:05:06,485
struggles, helping other people that
might be having similar struggles.
113
00:05:06,485 --> 00:05:10,805
And I think that message and my
ambitions still hold true to that
114
00:05:11,105 --> 00:05:15,220
core value or what my intentions are
in creating something for myself.
115
00:05:15,220 --> 00:05:21,356
Over the years, my ways have evolved
and I actually got in to real estate
116
00:05:21,386 --> 00:05:26,896
in 2017 and that spiraled into a whole
other business and here I am today.
117
00:05:27,196 --> 00:05:33,196
But what I thought was interesting
is in 2017, I was in a business
118
00:05:33,856 --> 00:05:36,730
creation I guess you could say
workshop, or like a course.
119
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,260
And it was specifically made
for moms who wanted to create
120
00:05:40,260 --> 00:05:41,190
a business for themselves.
121
00:05:41,190 --> 00:05:44,770
So it was awesome because
it was specific to moms.
122
00:05:45,073 --> 00:05:49,673
Women who had a passion for creating
a business for themselves, but also
123
00:05:50,063 --> 00:05:54,203
had the responsibility of being a mom
and how to navigate being a mom while
124
00:05:54,203 --> 00:05:55,733
creating a business simultaneously.
125
00:05:55,733 --> 00:05:59,423
And so it was really perfect for
me and where I was at at that time.
126
00:05:59,473 --> 00:06:02,173
Anyway, this note, one of the
activities we did through this
127
00:06:02,173 --> 00:06:04,423
business group was the airport test.
128
00:06:04,453 --> 00:06:05,263
If I remember right.
129
00:06:05,653 --> 00:06:08,993
But essentially it was where you want
to be in five years or what do you
130
00:06:08,993 --> 00:06:10,643
want to see in your life in five years?
131
00:06:11,033 --> 00:06:12,093
And so in 2017,
132
00:06:12,803 --> 00:06:16,703
I had written down that I
wanted a business of my own.
133
00:06:16,703 --> 00:06:17,903
That was from my creation.
134
00:06:18,183 --> 00:06:20,313
that was really the biggest
piece for me is that I wanted to
135
00:06:20,313 --> 00:06:21,333
have something that was my own.
136
00:06:21,333 --> 00:06:22,143
That came from me.
137
00:06:22,143 --> 00:06:24,963
Something that I created, that
I was passionate about and
138
00:06:24,963 --> 00:06:26,163
I wanted to have a business.
139
00:06:26,253 --> 00:06:26,703
in that.
140
00:06:26,709 --> 00:06:28,047
I also wrote that I was.
141
00:06:28,887 --> 00:06:33,207
Hoping to have a third baby who
would be about two to three years old.
142
00:06:33,287 --> 00:06:37,487
Another thing I wrote down in that
list was having a beach house in
143
00:06:37,517 --> 00:06:43,427
Hawaii that we would be living in
our dream home with mountain views.
144
00:06:43,427 --> 00:06:47,687
And then the last thing I wrote was having
a good relationship with my husband.
145
00:06:47,827 --> 00:06:51,067
So it was really interesting that I just
found that and I was like, holy shit,
146
00:06:51,067 --> 00:06:53,557
this was literally five years ago in 2017.
147
00:06:53,887 --> 00:06:57,077
And how crazy that all
these things have come true.
148
00:06:57,587 --> 00:06:59,917
I shit you not like we have our baby.
149
00:07:00,277 --> 00:07:01,957
And he's a boy and he's three.
150
00:07:01,987 --> 00:07:03,868
So that came into fruition.
151
00:07:03,869 --> 00:07:07,364
I'm doing my business and it's taken
me a lot of different twist and
152
00:07:07,364 --> 00:07:10,394
turns and, you know, changing my
mind and, and going different routes.
153
00:07:10,394 --> 00:07:14,024
But I finally am stepping into
exactly what I want to do,
154
00:07:14,324 --> 00:07:15,974
which one is doing this podcast.
155
00:07:15,974 --> 00:07:18,914
That's writing my book and it's
not selling products or selling
156
00:07:18,914 --> 00:07:21,514
things like that has not ever
really been a desire of mine.
157
00:07:21,754 --> 00:07:27,100
I just have a desire to Speak and share
my stories and build relationships
158
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:31,140
with people, and help people in
some way, improve their lives and
159
00:07:31,170 --> 00:07:33,810
help people in ways where they're
struggling in their life to help
160
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,190
improve their lives or inspire people.
161
00:07:35,190 --> 00:07:36,060
That's really my goal.
162
00:07:36,060 --> 00:07:37,410
It's not to sell anybody, anything.
163
00:07:37,460 --> 00:07:39,960
And there's nothing wrong with selling
people stuff, don't get me wrong.
164
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,930
I'm not against any sales business.
165
00:07:41,930 --> 00:07:42,740
I think those are great.
166
00:07:42,740 --> 00:07:44,730
And I'm a consumer, I
get sold all the time.
167
00:07:44,730 --> 00:07:45,510
Like I buy stuff.
168
00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:47,130
So nothing against that.
169
00:07:47,130 --> 00:07:50,809
Just, for me, that has
never been a goal of mine.
170
00:07:50,809 --> 00:07:52,941
I guess, you know, once
I get my book out there.
171
00:07:52,971 --> 00:07:54,711
Obviously that's something
I'm going to be selling.
172
00:07:54,762 --> 00:07:57,642
But yeah, I mean, just
amazingly, everything on this
173
00:07:57,642 --> 00:07:59,592
list has come to fruition.
174
00:07:59,802 --> 00:08:04,062
So in 2020 we bought the house
that we're in now, and that was.
175
00:08:04,452 --> 00:08:08,082
I mean, this is crazy how this house
came about because at that time, We were
176
00:08:08,082 --> 00:08:11,652
at a crossroads where we were possibly
thinking of relocating to Florida,
177
00:08:11,682 --> 00:08:12,822
which was going to be a big deal.
178
00:08:13,092 --> 00:08:15,102
And so I had written down in
my notebook, like this dream
179
00:08:15,132 --> 00:08:16,542
home that I had in my mind.
180
00:08:16,568 --> 00:08:18,891
And it was going to have enough
bedrooms for all of our kids.
181
00:08:18,891 --> 00:08:22,491
I was going to have a space to have an
office and we would have a guest room.
182
00:08:22,851 --> 00:08:26,571
And the other things I wanted
was to be near a park and I wanted
183
00:08:26,571 --> 00:08:28,531
a hot tub, a pool, and a play set
184
00:08:29,841 --> 00:08:32,631
And, originally when I was writing this
down, I'm thinking of Florida house with
185
00:08:32,631 --> 00:08:34,371
a pool in the back yard and everything.
186
00:08:34,671 --> 00:08:36,801
Anyway, I had written this down
and we were talking about it.
187
00:08:36,801 --> 00:08:40,851
And then my husband saw this
house that we're in now come up
188
00:08:40,851 --> 00:08:41,991
and we went to go look at it.
189
00:08:41,991 --> 00:08:44,391
And I was like, oh my gosh,
this house is perfect.
190
00:08:44,391 --> 00:08:45,201
It had all their rooms.
191
00:08:45,201 --> 00:08:47,141
We wanted, the
neighborhood was beautiful.
192
00:08:47,141 --> 00:08:49,691
It was walking distance to a
playground park for the kids.
193
00:08:49,901 --> 00:08:52,631
It had a community pool that was
walking distance, just a few houses
194
00:08:52,631 --> 00:08:56,351
down the house came with a hot tub
and a play set, it had a huge yard.
195
00:08:56,861 --> 00:08:57,791
It was amazing.
196
00:08:58,001 --> 00:09:00,851
And looking back, I saw this
note and I was like, holy shit.
197
00:09:00,851 --> 00:09:03,251
I literally said like our dream
house with mountain views.
198
00:09:03,461 --> 00:09:07,961
So we don't really have direct mountain
views, but in my bathroom window, I
199
00:09:07,961 --> 00:09:11,580
get a great shot and in our backyard
and in my husband's office, he has
200
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,029
got a nice shot of the mountains.
201
00:09:13,029 --> 00:09:14,900
So it still does have a mountain view.
202
00:09:15,066 --> 00:09:16,776
Maybe not exactly what I was
thinking when I wrote that.
203
00:09:16,776 --> 00:09:18,936
I mean, I don't know, but it
just is so crazy to me that
204
00:09:18,936 --> 00:09:21,696
actually manifested and came true.
205
00:09:21,906 --> 00:09:25,416
And again, it knocked all those things
that I had written on that note paper in
206
00:09:25,416 --> 00:09:28,476
2020 before we bought this house, when we
were making that decision, whether or not
207
00:09:28,476 --> 00:09:30,506
we were relocating or staying in Colorado.
208
00:09:30,536 --> 00:09:34,016
It's like this house came up and it
checked every single one of those boxes.
209
00:09:34,016 --> 00:09:37,346
I had written down for myself
about our dream home And
210
00:09:37,346 --> 00:09:38,814
then the other thing I wrote.
211
00:09:38,814 --> 00:09:39,866
About the Hawaii beach house.
212
00:09:40,506 --> 00:09:44,316
So this is another really crazy story,
because I think at this time we had
213
00:09:44,316 --> 00:09:47,577
been to Hawaii once we had been to
Or maybe I'd been twice in my life
214
00:09:47,577 --> 00:09:51,087
before, but as a family with my husband,
we'd been, once we went to Oahu.
215
00:09:51,094 --> 00:09:53,194
And did Waikiki and that
whole thing, which was lovely.
216
00:09:53,434 --> 00:09:55,204
And we had a great time and.
217
00:09:55,391 --> 00:09:57,671
I wrote down that I would like
to have a beach house in Hawaii
218
00:09:57,671 --> 00:09:58,781
someday, which is just weird.
219
00:09:58,781 --> 00:10:03,011
And I think the other reason why maybe
I wrote Hawaii was because my mom
220
00:10:03,071 --> 00:10:07,058
and actually my half brother my ex
stepdad and my other half sister all
221
00:10:07,058 --> 00:10:08,088
still live on the island of Kauai.
222
00:10:08,778 --> 00:10:13,278
My mom had lived on Kauai for a number
of years and I never visited her there.
223
00:10:13,278 --> 00:10:14,898
And I still never been
to Kauai to this day.
224
00:10:14,928 --> 00:10:15,888
I will make it happen.
225
00:10:16,758 --> 00:10:18,948
But, you know, I just feel like
there's a part of my family
226
00:10:18,948 --> 00:10:20,738
that has this Hawaii thing.
227
00:10:20,768 --> 00:10:21,068
Right.
228
00:10:21,068 --> 00:10:23,288
And so that would be a dream
to have a house in Hawaii.
229
00:10:24,128 --> 00:10:28,582
Well, in 2018, we took a
trip as a family to Maui.
230
00:10:28,972 --> 00:10:33,352
And we fell in love with Maui and we
had split our vacation into staying
231
00:10:33,352 --> 00:10:36,182
in an Airbnb for half the time,
and then staying at a regular you
232
00:10:36,182 --> 00:10:37,412
know, kind of hotel on the beach.
233
00:10:37,622 --> 00:10:39,242
So we stayed in two different
areas of the island.
234
00:10:39,242 --> 00:10:41,932
So if you're not familiar
with Maui, there's a couple
235
00:10:41,962 --> 00:10:43,162
different sides of the island.
236
00:10:43,372 --> 00:10:46,252
And at our first trip, we stayed
at an Airbnb in Kihei, which is
237
00:10:46,252 --> 00:10:47,752
on the Southern tip of the island.
238
00:10:47,962 --> 00:10:50,622
And then we stayed in Kaanapali,
which is on the west side, of the
239
00:10:50,622 --> 00:10:52,662
island, which is very touristy.
240
00:10:52,662 --> 00:10:54,432
There's a lot of like hotels there.
241
00:10:54,456 --> 00:10:58,216
Anyway, on that trip, we just fell
in love and we loved our experience
242
00:10:58,232 --> 00:11:02,162
staying in the Airbnb, which was in
Kihei and we also fell in love with the
243
00:11:02,162 --> 00:11:03,932
area it's the Southern part of Maui.
244
00:11:04,152 --> 00:11:05,962
I feel like it gives
you like a local vibe.
245
00:11:05,997 --> 00:11:09,027
Not really resorts it's
more on vacation rentals.
246
00:11:09,027 --> 00:11:11,645
So a lot of condos and some of
them are on the beach and stuff.
247
00:11:11,645 --> 00:11:12,365
It's just beautiful.
248
00:11:12,365 --> 00:11:15,125
And we stayed at this one condo that was
just right across the street from kind of
249
00:11:15,125 --> 00:11:19,545
this little beach, that's more for locals
so not like these big touristy spots.
250
00:11:19,598 --> 00:11:22,208
We met a realtor while we were there and
we were talking to her cause we thought
251
00:11:22,208 --> 00:11:23,918
this would be really great to have.
252
00:11:23,918 --> 00:11:26,138
a condo that we could do a
vacation rental out of just
253
00:11:26,168 --> 00:11:27,128
like the one that we stayed in.
254
00:11:27,128 --> 00:11:29,408
And so we met this
realtor at an open house.
255
00:11:29,408 --> 00:11:32,578
We stayed in touch with her and we
kept our eyes open and looked at
256
00:11:32,578 --> 00:11:34,438
things as they came up for over a year.
257
00:11:34,525 --> 00:11:37,135
And it wasn't until the end of 2018.
258
00:11:37,675 --> 00:11:40,660
When we finally found one
that happened to pop up in the
259
00:11:40,660 --> 00:11:42,400
same complex we had stayed in.
260
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:44,440
So we made an offer and we got it.
261
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,504
We got our first
investment property there.
262
00:11:46,504 --> 00:11:49,504
And I think originally we thought
we'd probably use the same people
263
00:11:49,504 --> 00:11:52,372
that we had booked through as property
management service, and then we
264
00:11:52,372 --> 00:11:54,502
found out how much they charged.
265
00:11:54,502 --> 00:11:56,332
And so my husband's like, why
don't we just try to do this
266
00:11:56,332 --> 00:11:57,912
on our own and see how it goes.
267
00:11:58,402 --> 00:12:01,822
And so it was very much a
learning curve of a process.
268
00:12:02,212 --> 00:12:03,382
We learned a lot.
269
00:12:03,382 --> 00:12:04,305
It wasn't pretty.
270
00:12:04,336 --> 00:12:10,016
But since we closed on that first
one in Kihei in February of 2019.
271
00:12:10,124 --> 00:12:12,330
It's now I sh it's my fucking birthday.
272
00:12:12,330 --> 00:12:12,920
I should know the date.
273
00:12:13,290 --> 00:12:18,340
Now we're in September of 2022, and we now
have five condos on the island of Maui.
274
00:12:18,670 --> 00:12:22,489
We have two in Lahaina and three in Kihei.
275
00:12:22,693 --> 00:12:26,364
And then we now have two other beach
properties, condos in Florida in the
276
00:12:26,364 --> 00:12:28,014
Destin area, Fort Walton beach area.
277
00:12:28,030 --> 00:12:30,790
I mean, it just crazy that I
literally wrote down 2017 with
278
00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:32,980
just thinking, like, wouldn't that
be cool to have a beach house?
279
00:12:32,980 --> 00:12:36,970
I would love to have a beach And now fast
forward, five years later we have seven.
280
00:12:37,014 --> 00:12:39,607
I don't think when I wrote that down,
I was thinking they would be these
281
00:12:39,637 --> 00:12:41,137
short-term investment properties.
282
00:12:41,137 --> 00:12:43,567
And I sure didn't think that I
would be the one that would be
283
00:12:43,567 --> 00:12:45,007
managing them all from Colorado.
284
00:12:45,007 --> 00:12:45,767
But here we are.
285
00:12:45,797 --> 00:12:46,347
So.
286
00:12:46,347 --> 00:12:47,967
I think it goes to show
that it's really cool.
287
00:12:47,967 --> 00:12:51,977
If you can take the time to, whether
it's a birthday or just a random
288
00:12:51,977 --> 00:12:55,307
Tuesday, like writing out goals
that you have for yourself and
289
00:12:55,307 --> 00:12:56,807
maybe giving yourself timelines.
290
00:12:56,807 --> 00:12:58,637
Like this is where I want
to see myself in five years.
291
00:12:58,667 --> 00:13:00,107
This is where I want to
see myself in 10 years.
292
00:13:00,497 --> 00:13:02,867
And then when you can go back and
look and see how much of these things
293
00:13:02,867 --> 00:13:04,367
actually manifested for yourself.
294
00:13:04,727 --> 00:13:08,787
I think it's important to write
down things that are believable
295
00:13:08,807 --> 00:13:11,777
for you, that you believe that you
can do, because that's a big piece
296
00:13:11,777 --> 00:13:14,777
of being able to manifest anything
for yourself and reaching goals is
297
00:13:14,777 --> 00:13:16,337
actually believing that you can do them.
298
00:13:16,410 --> 00:13:19,590
My husband is a great example of
this and it cracks me up because I
299
00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:23,280
don't think he knows how great of a
manifestor he actually is, because I
300
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,620
think he's not the type of guy that
really believes so much maybe in the
301
00:13:26,620 --> 00:13:28,804
law of attraction or manifesting.
302
00:13:28,804 --> 00:13:31,728
But what's funny is he does,
and he does it without even
303
00:13:31,728 --> 00:13:32,928
knowing that's what he's doing.
304
00:13:33,108 --> 00:13:36,258
But from the time I've met him, he's
always known that he was going to
305
00:13:36,258 --> 00:13:40,438
hit these specific goals as far as
building a business and the type of
306
00:13:40,438 --> 00:13:41,848
income that he wanted in his life.
307
00:13:42,058 --> 00:13:44,368
Like he saw that and he
believed that for himself.
308
00:13:44,398 --> 00:13:49,108
He would tell me that as you know,
a teenager, he would drive by these
309
00:13:49,168 --> 00:13:51,208
neighborhoods of million dollar homes.
310
00:13:51,208 --> 00:13:54,508
And he would say to himself, if there's
this many millionaires out there who
311
00:13:54,508 --> 00:13:57,328
can afford to live in these homes,
then that's possible for me too.
312
00:13:57,688 --> 00:14:00,088
And I think that's how you
have to look at your own life.
313
00:14:00,118 --> 00:14:03,328
Like if you see other people having
and doing and being the things that
314
00:14:03,328 --> 00:14:08,207
you want for yourself, then you need to
use that as your permission slip that
315
00:14:08,207 --> 00:14:11,887
that's possible for you too,, and then
believing that it's possible for you too.
316
00:14:11,938 --> 00:14:14,343
And then writing this stuff down,
creating vision boards, like
317
00:14:14,373 --> 00:14:15,753
all that stuff really works.
318
00:14:15,783 --> 00:14:16,533
It really does.
319
00:14:16,533 --> 00:14:20,223
Like I have a vision board up here for me
for this year and things are happening.
320
00:14:20,223 --> 00:14:21,423
Like I'm putting things in place.
321
00:14:21,423 --> 00:14:25,323
Like it doesn't mean you just write it
down and just hope for the best, right?
322
00:14:25,323 --> 00:14:28,203
Like that's not how it works,
but it's having that belief
323
00:14:28,203 --> 00:14:29,643
and then taking these actions.
324
00:14:30,113 --> 00:14:31,553
Again with our vacation rentals.
325
00:14:31,553 --> 00:14:32,933
Like that was a total risk.
326
00:14:33,053 --> 00:14:35,873
Like I talked to people all the time,
especially when I was more working in real
327
00:14:35,873 --> 00:14:39,830
estate, like people are scared to take
that leap and to do investment properties.
328
00:14:39,830 --> 00:14:43,227
Like it's scary for a lot of people
and I told them it was scary for us
329
00:14:43,227 --> 00:14:48,207
too, but we took that risk and now
our rental income makes way more than
330
00:14:48,477 --> 00:14:51,627
what I was making as a real estate
agent and I'm working A fraction of
331
00:14:51,627 --> 00:14:53,727
the time, like even self managing it.
332
00:14:53,727 --> 00:14:58,047
I probably work maybe 10 to 15 hours
a week on the rental management stuff.
333
00:14:58,047 --> 00:14:58,917
Like it's not bad.
334
00:14:59,097 --> 00:15:01,167
Some of the jobs are annoying
and I do complain to my
335
00:15:01,167 --> 00:15:02,697
husband a lot about it because.
336
00:15:03,567 --> 00:15:06,267
I'm really horrible at customer
service and running a business
337
00:15:06,267 --> 00:15:10,077
because I typically sympathize with
our people and it's hard for me.
338
00:15:10,077 --> 00:15:13,880
I get taken advantage of, I'll say that
and it's hard for me to compartmentalize
339
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,840
or not get offended and things . So I
have to work harder at that and I'm sure
340
00:15:18,170 --> 00:15:22,270
my job would be a lot easier as far as
management goes, but I'm just saying.
341
00:15:22,357 --> 00:15:26,417
That going after your dreams is scary
and it does involve taking risks.
342
00:15:26,447 --> 00:15:29,117
It involves like taking
actions that are scary.
343
00:15:29,117 --> 00:15:32,297
And when you start doing something
new, like, are you going to be great?
344
00:15:32,327 --> 00:15:35,867
No, like I'm starting this podcast,
is the first episode great?
345
00:15:35,957 --> 00:15:38,777
No, it's not like I gave my simple
explanation of what the podcast
346
00:15:38,777 --> 00:15:41,447
was going to be, but my editing
sucked, but you know, I'm going to
347
00:15:41,447 --> 00:15:44,087
show up every week and I'm going to
continue to learn and get better.
348
00:15:44,087 --> 00:15:46,517
And maybe one day I'll get to
the point where I can pass off my
349
00:15:46,517 --> 00:15:47,967
episodes to get professionally edited.
350
00:15:48,407 --> 00:15:50,167
But until then I'm going
to edit them myself.
351
00:15:50,537 --> 00:15:53,747
And it's going to be what it is, and
it's just going to grow and evolve over
352
00:15:53,747 --> 00:15:58,298
time and I'll get better at speaking
more clearly and not having to edit
353
00:15:58,328 --> 00:16:02,615
as much or getting the episodes more
fluent or better for my audience.
354
00:16:02,615 --> 00:16:04,175
You know, those are things
I'm going to learn over time.
355
00:16:04,312 --> 00:16:09,204
So the intention of this episode was
wanting to say, Hey, it's my birthday.
356
00:16:09,564 --> 00:16:13,574
And also just this cool thing
about writing your goals and
357
00:16:13,574 --> 00:16:15,944
how things can unfold for you.
358
00:16:16,164 --> 00:16:17,645
I think I will do another episode.
359
00:16:17,645 --> 00:16:21,635
That's maybe a little bit more detailed
on how to manifest or more about the law
360
00:16:21,635 --> 00:16:25,445
of attraction, but for now I think it's
just really cool that if you want to take
361
00:16:25,445 --> 00:16:28,715
the time and write out some things for
yourself, like where do you see yourself
362
00:16:28,715 --> 00:16:30,095
in five years and write that down?
363
00:16:30,113 --> 00:16:34,605
I went ahead since I had found that
note from 2017, the year I turned
364
00:16:34,605 --> 00:16:37,655
30 and reflecting and then seeing
how much stuff had played out.
365
00:16:37,655 --> 00:16:39,965
I was like, holy shit, this is so cool.
366
00:16:39,991 --> 00:16:42,916
I always knew I wanted to share that
one example of this house we're in,
367
00:16:42,916 --> 00:16:44,236
because I thought that was insane.
368
00:16:44,236 --> 00:16:46,776
That the fact that I had wrote all that
stuff down and I was thinking it was
369
00:16:46,776 --> 00:16:49,866
going to be a Florida house that we found
and then ended up being a Colorado house.
370
00:16:50,376 --> 00:16:52,546
I think that's the thing we have
to keep in mind too, is that when
371
00:16:52,546 --> 00:16:53,876
we have these goals for ourselves,
372
00:16:54,223 --> 00:16:56,113
It may not happen the
way we think it will.
373
00:16:56,143 --> 00:16:58,813
You know, like when I wrote down
a Hawaii house, I wasn't thinking
374
00:16:58,813 --> 00:17:02,683
that it was going to be this
whole new revenue stream for us.
375
00:17:02,683 --> 00:17:04,633
I didn't know this was going to
be a whole new business venture
376
00:17:04,633 --> 00:17:06,411
of us having vacation rentals.
377
00:17:06,411 --> 00:17:09,181
I had no idea that's what was
going to manifest from this.
378
00:17:09,481 --> 00:17:12,501
That wasn't my goal when I wrote it
down, I just wrote down a beach house.
379
00:17:12,531 --> 00:17:15,351
You just never know how
things are going to turn out.
380
00:17:15,351 --> 00:17:18,981
You might have a goal of
Reaching a certain income level.
381
00:17:19,131 --> 00:17:22,821
Maybe when you're first writing that goal,
it's in your current situation, you feel
382
00:17:22,821 --> 00:17:30,651
like you want to grow your income by doing
X, Y, Z, but then turns out you do grow
383
00:17:30,651 --> 00:17:33,711
your income, but it came by way of ABC.
384
00:17:33,891 --> 00:17:36,741
Like you just don't know exactly how
things are going to unfold for you
385
00:17:36,741 --> 00:17:40,964
or how things are actually going to
turn out, but you get the same result.
386
00:17:40,994 --> 00:17:41,354
Right.
387
00:17:41,429 --> 00:17:43,949
And I think what is meant
for you, is there for you.
388
00:17:44,689 --> 00:17:48,529
And again, it has to do with your
belief in it and knowing that
389
00:17:48,529 --> 00:17:50,659
whatever you want is already here.
390
00:17:50,689 --> 00:17:52,999
And if you know that and believe that.
391
00:17:53,479 --> 00:17:55,819
Then you don't need to worry about the
how, and when it's going to happen,
392
00:17:55,849 --> 00:17:57,149
you just have to have that belief.
393
00:17:57,859 --> 00:18:01,669
You need to take actions and do
things to help get yourself there
394
00:18:01,939 --> 00:18:06,229
and then being okay when things
don't go exactly as you plan them.
395
00:18:06,649 --> 00:18:09,619
But to stay confident in knowing
that it's going to show up for you.
396
00:18:09,619 --> 00:18:12,064
Like I can use my book,
as another example.
397
00:18:12,114 --> 00:18:13,794
I've known, I wanted to
write a book forever.
398
00:18:14,244 --> 00:18:15,694
And I finally.
399
00:18:15,744 --> 00:18:17,694
Jumped in and started working on it.
400
00:18:17,724 --> 00:18:22,444
And I joined a writer's workshop
community, And I've been in
401
00:18:22,444 --> 00:18:25,534
that for over a year and been
kind of like in and out of it.
402
00:18:25,564 --> 00:18:29,962
And they Offered a four day intensive
workshop and I decided to sign up for And
403
00:18:29,962 --> 00:18:34,422
it was the first time I actually showed up
and was physically present for each day of
404
00:18:34,422 --> 00:18:36,012
the virtual workshop, which is unheard of.
405
00:18:36,012 --> 00:18:38,712
I've signed up for so many workshops
and just have never showed up.
406
00:18:39,012 --> 00:18:40,452
I plan to watch the recording,
407
00:18:40,932 --> 00:18:41,682
90% of the time.
408
00:18:41,682 --> 00:18:42,222
I never do.
409
00:18:42,265 --> 00:18:44,455
It was the first time . I showed
up and went every single day.
410
00:18:44,455 --> 00:18:46,455
And I got so much information
from this workshop.
411
00:18:46,915 --> 00:18:48,985
And inspired me, like I'm
going to do this right.
412
00:18:49,045 --> 00:18:52,528
And so with this workshop, You're given
the opportunity to submit a book proposal.
413
00:18:52,528 --> 00:18:55,859
To a publisher and this publisher
happens to be my dream publisher.
414
00:18:55,859 --> 00:18:59,159
And normally you can not submit a proposal
to them unless you have a literary agent.
415
00:18:59,459 --> 00:19:02,909
So being a part of this workshop, you get
kind of this green light to submit a book
416
00:19:02,909 --> 00:19:05,369
proposal without having a literary agent.
417
00:19:05,405 --> 00:19:06,703
And so I'm like holy shit,
I'm going to do that.
418
00:19:07,153 --> 00:19:10,423
And then I got to thinking they had
another submission opportunity for anybody
419
00:19:10,423 --> 00:19:13,093
who is part of the writers community,
which I had been a part of for the year.
420
00:19:13,093 --> 00:19:15,403
And I'm like, oh, well
that deadline sooner.
421
00:19:15,403 --> 00:19:16,663
Maybe I'll get it done by then.
422
00:19:17,143 --> 00:19:21,193
And so I got my book proposal done and I
submitted it with that submission window.
423
00:19:21,213 --> 00:19:22,803
I was sure I was going to get picked.
424
00:19:22,833 --> 00:19:26,133
I mean, I was so sure, like I know that
my book is meant for this publisher.
425
00:19:26,133 --> 00:19:26,763
I know it.
426
00:19:26,763 --> 00:19:27,393
I believe it.
427
00:19:27,393 --> 00:19:28,293
I can see it.
428
00:19:28,863 --> 00:19:30,243
I did not get chosen.
429
00:19:30,633 --> 00:19:34,716
In that book proposal submission,
I was up against 200 other people
430
00:19:34,716 --> 00:19:35,826
that had submitted their proposal.
431
00:19:35,826 --> 00:19:35,996
So.
432
00:19:37,026 --> 00:19:39,006
You know, that's a lot and I'm
sure a lot of them are very good.
433
00:19:39,036 --> 00:19:41,486
Some of them are probably working
on the proposals for years and I've
434
00:19:41,486 --> 00:19:43,263
been working on mine for six weeks.
435
00:19:43,833 --> 00:19:46,563
So I decided that's okay.
436
00:19:46,876 --> 00:19:51,406
I'm going to, refine my proposal and
re-submit it on this other submission
437
00:19:51,406 --> 00:19:52,966
deadline that's happening here next month.
438
00:19:53,456 --> 00:19:54,436
And so that's my plan.
439
00:19:54,436 --> 00:19:56,356
It'll be just for people
who attended the workshop.
440
00:19:56,356 --> 00:19:58,546
So it should be a smaller
pool of people that submit.
441
00:19:58,546 --> 00:19:59,470
And we'll see what happens.
442
00:19:59,470 --> 00:20:03,989
And I'm confident that one way or
the other, my book will be published.
443
00:20:03,989 --> 00:20:04,949
I know that for a fact.
444
00:20:04,949 --> 00:20:08,819
And I also know that one day
I will be a published author
445
00:20:08,819 --> 00:20:10,289
through the publishing house.
446
00:20:10,649 --> 00:20:11,409
I'm meant to be in.
447
00:20:11,472 --> 00:20:12,052
So.
448
00:20:12,072 --> 00:20:14,652
My belief right now is that it's going
to be with this specific publisher,
449
00:20:14,652 --> 00:20:17,682
but you know, maybe in the future, it's
not, maybe there's another publisher.
450
00:20:17,682 --> 00:20:19,882
That's even better for
my book, I don't know.
451
00:20:19,882 --> 00:20:21,042
But I do know that one day.
452
00:20:21,682 --> 00:20:23,902
My book's going to be published and
I'm going to keep working on it.
453
00:20:23,932 --> 00:20:25,442
I'll see what happens
with this submission.
454
00:20:26,072 --> 00:20:28,642
And then i'll you know
continue to finish my book and.
455
00:20:29,242 --> 00:20:31,552
Get it published one way or
the other, like it's happening.
456
00:20:31,822 --> 00:20:33,832
And you guys can follow me
along through this story, in
457
00:20:33,832 --> 00:20:35,122
this ride and see how this goes.
458
00:20:35,122 --> 00:20:38,421
Like it takes a long time to
get a book out into the world.
459
00:20:38,466 --> 00:20:41,796
Right now , I'm still working on the
manuscript, working my way through it.
460
00:20:41,796 --> 00:20:44,222
And, So, yeah, once I get
that finished, we'll see what
461
00:20:44,222 --> 00:20:45,972
happens on the publishing side.
462
00:20:45,972 --> 00:20:49,414
And we'll see what happens with this
proposal submission here in October.
463
00:20:49,431 --> 00:20:51,707
I'll find out what happens in December.
464
00:20:51,707 --> 00:20:55,187
So it's a 60 day waiting period,
which is really fun way to exercise
465
00:20:55,187 --> 00:20:58,517
my patience on finding out the
results of that submission.
466
00:20:58,847 --> 00:21:01,367
And if I don't get chosen totally fine.
467
00:21:01,367 --> 00:21:04,097
I just know that it means there's
something better that's coming or
468
00:21:04,097 --> 00:21:05,657
whatever's meant to be is still there.
469
00:21:05,657 --> 00:21:09,471
I still believe and know that I'm going
to be a published author, no matter
470
00:21:09,471 --> 00:21:13,081
what this book is getting published and
I'm going to keep working on my book.
471
00:21:13,581 --> 00:21:16,041
And I'm going to take
each opportunity I have.
472
00:21:16,041 --> 00:21:20,281
And so I have this opportunity to submit
this proposal to my ideal publisher.
473
00:21:20,781 --> 00:21:23,811
And I'm going to step back and
let the universe handle the rest.
474
00:21:23,811 --> 00:21:25,301
And what's meant to be, is meant to be.
475
00:21:25,331 --> 00:21:27,231
I'm confident in the
end result happening.
476
00:21:27,591 --> 00:21:28,521
The way it's meant to.
477
00:21:28,618 --> 00:21:31,528
I definitely felt some feelings
when I didn't get picked.
478
00:21:31,528 --> 00:21:31,828
Right.
479
00:21:31,828 --> 00:21:34,558
Like that's real, but it was quick lived.
480
00:21:34,558 --> 00:21:37,088
Like I quickly got over it because
I knew it had another opportunity.
481
00:21:38,068 --> 00:21:41,308
And I still had that faith
and that knowing that my book
482
00:21:41,308 --> 00:21:42,118
is going to be in the world.
483
00:21:42,118 --> 00:21:43,168
I know that it's needed.
484
00:21:43,408 --> 00:21:45,328
I know that I'm going to get it
out there one way or the other.
485
00:21:45,428 --> 00:21:45,468
Anyway.
486
00:21:46,062 --> 00:21:47,442
If you guys don't know.
487
00:21:47,546 --> 00:21:52,406
All my podcast episodes are also video
podcasts and they are always uploaded
488
00:21:52,406 --> 00:21:56,300
to YouTube the same day that they
come out on the podcasting services.
489
00:21:56,300 --> 00:22:01,820
So if you ever want to see my face and my
expressions and my hand talking movements,
490
00:22:02,090 --> 00:22:03,980
you can see the videos on YouTube.
491
00:22:04,018 --> 00:22:04,920
So that's fun.
492
00:22:04,980 --> 00:22:08,490
I think you can just search my name
and find me Chelsea VanBuskirk which
493
00:22:08,490 --> 00:22:11,670

mess that up, but it's a van like the
494
00:22:11,670 --> 00:22:16,630
car bus, like the car and Kirk, like
captain Kirk, all one word VanBuskirk.

And you can also find me on my

502
00:22:42,391 --> 00:22:42,781
So.
503
00:22:42,928 --> 00:22:45,178
Do me a favor write out today.
504
00:22:45,208 --> 00:22:46,888
Whenever you're listening to this,
when you, when you have a moment
505
00:22:46,918 --> 00:22:49,718
to grab a piece of paper, I want
you to write out What do you
506
00:22:49,738 --> 00:22:51,208
see for your life in five years?
507
00:22:51,808 --> 00:22:55,128
And hold on to that, put it in the
notes section of your phone, put the
508
00:22:55,128 --> 00:23:00,058
date 2022 I see myself in five years,
blank, blank, blank, like put five things.
509
00:23:00,268 --> 00:23:03,598
You can even categorize it where you
see yourself in your relationships,
510
00:23:03,598 --> 00:23:06,198
your career and your spirituality
and your health wellness.
511
00:23:06,928 --> 00:23:08,278
Income, whatever.
512
00:23:08,315 --> 00:23:11,255
Put those little bullet points on where
you see yourself in five years and
513
00:23:11,255 --> 00:23:14,355
then see what happens in five years
and see if you achieve those things.
514
00:23:14,555 --> 00:23:18,245
I keep that in the back of your mind,
I just think it's so fucking trippy
515
00:23:18,275 --> 00:23:20,225
and really also fucking awesome.
516
00:23:20,645 --> 00:23:22,799
That these things have happened.
517
00:23:22,849 --> 00:23:24,049
I think you guys are all awesome.
518
00:23:24,049 --> 00:23:24,409
Thank you.
519
00:23:24,409 --> 00:23:28,161

Submit me a question and I'll,
I'll get it on the show and
540
00:24:14,136 --> 00:24:15,066
we'll dissect that question.
541
00:24:15,066 --> 00:24:16,296
I'll answer it to the best of my ability.
542
00:24:17,196 --> 00:24:18,896
And yeah, happy birthday to me.
543
00:24:19,626 --> 00:24:21,966
Happy birthday to all my other
Virgos out there in the world.
544
00:24:22,033 --> 00:24:23,358
And yeah, this is 35.
545
00:24:23,451 --> 00:24:24,441
See you next week.
546
00:24:24,531 --> 00:24:25,310
Peace.
00:00:06,172 --> 00:00:06,952
Hey everybody.
2
00:00:06,952 --> 00:00:10,222
It's Chelsea VanBuskirk
with the Heart AF podcast.
3
00:00:10,252 --> 00:00:11,722
Hope you all are doing well!
4
00:00:12,022 --> 00:00:13,522
Today, I'm 35.
5
00:00:14,092 --> 00:00:15,742
It's my birthday, super excited.
6
00:00:16,042 --> 00:00:19,882
I'm singing all the birthday
songs to myself today.
7
00:00:20,182 --> 00:00:21,652
So yeah, 35.
8
00:00:21,652 --> 00:00:23,142
I feel pretty adult.
9
00:00:23,592 --> 00:00:27,052
I feel like that is the age where
you can officially be like, no.
10
00:00:28,032 --> 00:00:29,892
I I'm definitely an adult.
11
00:00:29,922 --> 00:00:32,772
Like I am one of those adultier adults..
12
00:00:33,032 --> 00:00:38,712
Still, there are more adult adults
than myself, but yeah, I feel
13
00:00:38,712 --> 00:00:44,222
like 35 is a good age it makes me
feel anyway that I'm legitimate.
14
00:00:44,342 --> 00:00:48,752
You know, I feel like I always
hang out with older groups,
15
00:00:48,752 --> 00:00:49,982
so I was always the youngest.
16
00:00:49,982 --> 00:00:50,462
And so I
17
00:00:50,562 --> 00:00:56,842
tended to think of myself as less
than, or feeling like I didn't get as
18
00:00:56,842 --> 00:00:59,042
much respect because I was younger.
19
00:00:59,068 --> 00:01:03,082
So 35 feels like it's a legit age
where maybe more people will take
20
00:01:03,082 --> 00:01:04,402
me seriously, because guess what?
21
00:01:04,402 --> 00:01:06,482
I'm an adult and I'm 35, so yeah.
22
00:01:06,973 --> 00:01:10,453
I actually was walking and talking
with a friend who also turned 35 this
23
00:01:10,453 --> 00:01:14,803
year, recently, and we were walking
and talking and I'm like, holy shit.
24
00:01:15,943 --> 00:01:18,893
This means that I was 15, 20 years ago.
25
00:01:19,993 --> 00:01:21,393
Wait 20 years ago.
26
00:01:22,153 --> 00:01:22,793
I was 15.
27
00:01:23,593 --> 00:01:29,233
And that was the point where it
really sunk in just how old 35 is.
28
00:01:29,713 --> 00:01:31,333
Relatively 35 is young.
29
00:01:31,363 --> 00:01:32,023
Right in my head.
30
00:01:32,023 --> 00:01:35,093
When I think of turning 35, like I
said, I was pretty excited about it,
31
00:01:36,023 --> 00:01:40,433
Putting that relation to it, knowing
that I can remember a lot of things from
32
00:01:40,433 --> 00:01:42,563
when I was 15 and knowing that was 20
33
00:01:42,803 --> 00:01:43,593
years ago.
34
00:01:44,363 --> 00:01:47,513
Makes it sound like that
was a long time ago.
35
00:01:47,513 --> 00:01:50,823
Like when you think of a parameter
of 20 years that feels like a
36
00:01:51,003 --> 00:01:52,713
extremely long amount of time.
37
00:01:52,743 --> 00:01:56,213
Like that was more traumatizing.
38
00:01:56,713 --> 00:01:59,303
You know, when you think of
getting older and you come to these
39
00:01:59,303 --> 00:02:03,843
realizations and, maybe having some
big feelings about getting older.
40
00:02:03,843 --> 00:02:06,273
Like that was the moment where
I had some big feelings where it
41
00:02:06,273 --> 00:02:08,073
was like a realization of, wow.
42
00:02:08,103 --> 00:02:08,883
Yeah, man.
43
00:02:10,123 --> 00:02:11,173
I am getting older, right?
44
00:02:11,173 --> 00:02:14,443
There has been a lot that
has happened since I was 15.
45
00:02:14,443 --> 00:02:14,773
Right.
46
00:02:15,103 --> 00:02:16,253
And another year.
47
00:02:16,253 --> 00:02:16,613
It's good.
48
00:02:16,613 --> 00:02:20,603
I mean, every year that you have a
birthday, it's a great day because it's
49
00:02:20,603 --> 00:02:22,643
another year that you've been alive.
50
00:02:22,673 --> 00:02:24,953
It's another year that
you've had life experiences.
51
00:02:25,253 --> 00:02:29,641
I know for myself, there's been lots
of hard things I've gone through in
52
00:02:29,641 --> 00:02:34,411
my life, which I'm sure most people
also have gone through many hard ships
53
00:02:34,491 --> 00:02:36,241
along their life journey as well.
54
00:02:36,601 --> 00:02:39,841
And birthdays give you this
chance to reflect a bit.
55
00:02:40,311 --> 00:02:42,294
And I think 35 is that age.
56
00:02:42,294 --> 00:02:46,728
Like when you get to those, 30, 35,
40, like those big years tend to
57
00:02:46,728 --> 00:02:48,678
be really good reflection points.
58
00:02:48,978 --> 00:02:51,648
I think the first big birthday
is 18 and you're an adult.
59
00:02:51,648 --> 00:02:56,015
And then you have a nice jump in
a couple of years at your 21st
60
00:02:56,015 --> 00:02:58,745
birthday where you're finally
able to legally drink alcohol.
61
00:02:59,055 --> 00:03:01,125
And then after that,
your next birthday is 25.
62
00:03:01,125 --> 00:03:05,485
So you hit some big milestones as you get
into adulthood, you got 18, 21 and then
63
00:03:05,515 --> 00:03:09,685
25, you're like, oh shit, I'm a quarter
of a century old now, this is a big deal.
64
00:03:09,835 --> 00:03:12,205
Like, I feel like that's the first
age where you're like, wow, I'm
65
00:03:12,205 --> 00:03:13,945
actually not a teenager anymore.
66
00:03:13,945 --> 00:03:15,835
I'm actually an adult.
67
00:03:16,085 --> 00:03:18,076
And then you hit 30 and
you're like, oh shit.
68
00:03:18,166 --> 00:03:18,916
I'm out of my twenties.
69
00:03:18,916 --> 00:03:21,826
I'm in that next bracket,
now I'm in my thirties.
70
00:03:21,826 --> 00:03:23,546
That's adulthood.
71
00:03:23,706 --> 00:03:25,479
And now here I am at 35.
72
00:03:25,809 --> 00:03:26,589
This is adulthood.
73
00:03:27,609 --> 00:03:30,639
Like each little milestone and
I'm sure when I hit 40, it's
74
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:31,659
going to be like, oh shit.
75
00:03:31,659 --> 00:03:33,189
Now it's really starting to
feel like I'm getting old.
76
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:34,059
No, just kidding.
77
00:03:34,269 --> 00:03:36,319
I have a lot of friends from their
forties and they're the same.
78
00:03:36,349 --> 00:03:36,679
Right?
79
00:03:36,679 --> 00:03:39,519
Like, I feel like there's a range
of ages where you're all the same
80
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:40,589
and really age is just a number.
81
00:03:41,139 --> 00:03:42,699
I feel like you're only
as old as you feel.
82
00:03:42,699 --> 00:03:46,329
And honestly, a lot of times I still
feel like a teenager and I also still
83
00:03:46,329 --> 00:03:48,169
act like one in certain moments.
84
00:03:48,469 --> 00:03:49,495
So, Anyway!
85
00:03:49,872 --> 00:03:53,502
What I thought was really cool is I
happened to come across this note.
86
00:03:53,532 --> 00:03:54,102
I wrote.
87
00:03:54,382 --> 00:03:55,589
Five years ago in 2017.
88
00:03:56,289 --> 00:03:57,489
So that was a big year for me.
89
00:03:57,489 --> 00:03:58,599
It was a big transitional year.
90
00:03:58,599 --> 00:03:59,842
There was a lot of things going on.
91
00:03:59,842 --> 00:04:03,557
I was kind of coming out of
2016 into 2017, trying to
92
00:04:03,857 --> 00:04:05,387
start a business for myself.
93
00:04:05,387 --> 00:04:09,952
I really had this Ambitious goal of
creating something that was mine.
94
00:04:10,142 --> 00:04:12,298
I was a beach body coach for a long time.
95
00:04:12,298 --> 00:04:14,068
If you guys are familiar with
that company, still a great
96
00:04:14,068 --> 00:04:15,148
company, I'm still part of it.
97
00:04:15,148 --> 00:04:15,508
But.
98
00:04:15,765 --> 00:04:20,505
When I first started in 2012 I really like
went full on and did the whole coaching
99
00:04:20,505 --> 00:04:22,095
thing and grew a team and all this.
100
00:04:22,095 --> 00:04:27,525
And around 2016, I was having a lot
of body image issues and I had done
101
00:04:27,525 --> 00:04:30,555
some bodybuilding competitions and I
was coming out of that and realizing
102
00:04:30,945 --> 00:04:32,833
I had a lot of body dysmorphia.
103
00:04:32,863 --> 00:04:36,523
I had a binge eating disorder
and that wasn't really the space
104
00:04:36,553 --> 00:04:38,517
for me to be having a business.
105
00:04:38,517 --> 00:04:42,547
And as I was still healing my own
food struggles and at that time, I was
106
00:04:42,547 --> 00:04:45,697
really against like this diet culture
and a lot of different programs that
107
00:04:45,747 --> 00:04:49,915
had affected me in my body image and
dieting issues and my binge eating.
108
00:04:49,915 --> 00:04:53,885
So I was trying to start a business that
wasn't affiliated with any other business.
109
00:04:53,885 --> 00:04:56,255
I really didn't want to
sell people products.
110
00:04:56,255 --> 00:05:00,305
Like I wanted to step away from that
wanted to focus on just helping people,
111
00:05:00,305 --> 00:05:03,635
being real, sharing my struggles and
sharing how I'm getting through my
112
00:05:03,635 --> 00:05:06,485
struggles, helping other people that
might be having similar struggles.
113
00:05:06,485 --> 00:05:10,805
And I think that message and my
ambitions still hold true to that
114
00:05:11,105 --> 00:05:15,220
core value or what my intentions are
in creating something for myself.
115
00:05:15,220 --> 00:05:21,356
Over the years, my ways have evolved
and I actually got in to real estate
116
00:05:21,386 --> 00:05:26,896
in 2017 and that spiraled into a whole
other business and here I am today.
117
00:05:27,196 --> 00:05:33,196
But what I thought was interesting
is in 2017, I was in a business
118
00:05:33,856 --> 00:05:36,730
creation I guess you could say
workshop, or like a course.
119
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,260
And it was specifically made
for moms who wanted to create
120
00:05:40,260 --> 00:05:41,190
a business for themselves.
121
00:05:41,190 --> 00:05:44,770
So it was awesome because
it was specific to moms.
122
00:05:45,073 --> 00:05:49,673
Women who had a passion for creating
a business for themselves, but also
123
00:05:50,063 --> 00:05:54,203
had the responsibility of being a mom
and how to navigate being a mom while
124
00:05:54,203 --> 00:05:55,733
creating a business simultaneously.
125
00:05:55,733 --> 00:05:59,423
And so it was really perfect for
me and where I was at at that time.
126
00:05:59,473 --> 00:06:02,173
Anyway, this note, one of the
activities we did through this
127
00:06:02,173 --> 00:06:04,423
business group was the airport test.
128
00:06:04,453 --> 00:06:05,263
If I remember right.
129
00:06:05,653 --> 00:06:08,993
But essentially it was where you want
to be in five years or what do you
130
00:06:08,993 --> 00:06:10,643
want to see in your life in five years?
131
00:06:11,033 --> 00:06:12,093
And so in 2017,
132
00:06:12,803 --> 00:06:16,703
I had written down that I
wanted a business of my own.
133
00:06:16,703 --> 00:06:17,903
That was from my creation.
134
00:06:18,183 --> 00:06:20,313
that was really the biggest
piece for me is that I wanted to
135
00:06:20,313 --> 00:06:21,333
have something that was my own.
136
00:06:21,333 --> 00:06:22,143
That came from me.
137
00:06:22,143 --> 00:06:24,963
Something that I created, that
I was passionate about and
138
00:06:24,963 --> 00:06:26,163
I wanted to have a business.
139
00:06:26,253 --> 00:06:26,703
in that.
140
00:06:26,709 --> 00:06:28,047
I also wrote that I was.
141
00:06:28,887 --> 00:06:33,207
Hoping to have a third baby who
would be about two to three years old.
142
00:06:33,287 --> 00:06:37,487
Another thing I wrote down in that
list was having a beach house in
143
00:06:37,517 --> 00:06:43,427
Hawaii that we would be living in
our dream home with mountain views.
144
00:06:43,427 --> 00:06:47,687
And then the last thing I wrote was having
a good relationship with my husband.
145
00:06:47,827 --> 00:06:51,067
So it was really interesting that I just
found that and I was like, holy shit,
146
00:06:51,067 --> 00:06:53,557
this was literally five years ago in 2017.
147
00:06:53,887 --> 00:06:57,077
And how crazy that all
these things have come true.
148
00:06:57,587 --> 00:06:59,917
I shit you not like we have our baby.
149
00:07:00,277 --> 00:07:01,957
And he's a boy and he's three.
150
00:07:01,987 --> 00:07:03,868
So that came into fruition.
151
00:07:03,869 --> 00:07:07,364
I'm doing my business and it's taken
me a lot of different twist and
152
00:07:07,364 --> 00:07:10,394
turns and, you know, changing my
mind and, and going different routes.
153
00:07:10,394 --> 00:07:14,024
But I finally am stepping into
exactly what I want to do,
154
00:07:14,324 --> 00:07:15,974
which one is doing this podcast.
155
00:07:15,974 --> 00:07:18,914
That's writing my book and it's
not selling products or selling
156
00:07:18,914 --> 00:07:21,514
things like that has not ever
really been a desire of mine.
157
00:07:21,754 --> 00:07:27,100
I just have a desire to Speak and share
my stories and build relationships
158
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:31,140
with people, and help people in
some way, improve their lives and
159
00:07:31,170 --> 00:07:33,810
help people in ways where they're
struggling in their life to help
160
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,190
improve their lives or inspire people.
161
00:07:35,190 --> 00:07:36,060
That's really my goal.
162
00:07:36,060 --> 00:07:37,410
It's not to sell anybody, anything.
163
00:07:37,460 --> 00:07:39,960
And there's nothing wrong with selling
people stuff, don't get me wrong.
164
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,930
I'm not against any sales business.
165
00:07:41,930 --> 00:07:42,740
I think those are great.
166
00:07:42,740 --> 00:07:44,730
And I'm a consumer, I
get sold all the time.
167
00:07:44,730 --> 00:07:45,510
Like I buy stuff.
168
00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:47,130
So nothing against that.
169
00:07:47,130 --> 00:07:50,809
Just, for me, that has
never been a goal of mine.
170
00:07:50,809 --> 00:07:52,941
I guess, you know, once
I get my book out there.
171
00:07:52,971 --> 00:07:54,711
Obviously that's something
I'm going to be selling.
172
00:07:54,762 --> 00:07:57,642
But yeah, I mean, just
amazingly, everything on this
173
00:07:57,642 --> 00:07:59,592
list has come to fruition.
174
00:07:59,802 --> 00:08:04,062
So in 2020 we bought the house
that we're in now, and that was.
175
00:08:04,452 --> 00:08:08,082
I mean, this is crazy how this house
came about because at that time, We were
176
00:08:08,082 --> 00:08:11,652
at a crossroads where we were possibly
thinking of relocating to Florida,
177
00:08:11,682 --> 00:08:12,822
which was going to be a big deal.
178
00:08:13,092 --> 00:08:15,102
And so I had written down in
my notebook, like this dream
179
00:08:15,132 --> 00:08:16,542
home that I had in my mind.
180
00:08:16,568 --> 00:08:18,891
And it was going to have enough
bedrooms for all of our kids.
181
00:08:18,891 --> 00:08:22,491
I was going to have a space to have an
office and we would have a guest room.
182
00:08:22,851 --> 00:08:26,571
And the other things I wanted
was to be near a park and I wanted
183
00:08:26,571 --> 00:08:28,531
a hot tub, a pool, and a play set
184
00:08:29,841 --> 00:08:32,631
And, originally when I was writing this
down, I'm thinking of Florida house with
185
00:08:32,631 --> 00:08:34,371
a pool in the back yard and everything.
186
00:08:34,671 --> 00:08:36,801
Anyway, I had written this down
and we were talking about it.
187
00:08:36,801 --> 00:08:40,851
And then my husband saw this
house that we're in now come up
188
00:08:40,851 --> 00:08:41,991
and we went to go look at it.
189
00:08:41,991 --> 00:08:44,391
And I was like, oh my gosh,
this house is perfect.
190
00:08:44,391 --> 00:08:45,201
It had all their rooms.
191
00:08:45,201 --> 00:08:47,141
We wanted, the
neighborhood was beautiful.
192
00:08:47,141 --> 00:08:49,691
It was walking distance to a
playground park for the kids.
193
00:08:49,901 --> 00:08:52,631
It had a community pool that was
walking distance, just a few houses
194
00:08:52,631 --> 00:08:56,351
down the house came with a hot tub
and a play set, it had a huge yard.
195
00:08:56,861 --> 00:08:57,791
It was amazing.
196
00:08:58,001 --> 00:09:00,851
And looking back, I saw this
note and I was like, holy shit.
197
00:09:00,851 --> 00:09:03,251
I literally said like our dream
house with mountain views.
198
00:09:03,461 --> 00:09:07,961
So we don't really have direct mountain
views, but in my bathroom window, I
199
00:09:07,961 --> 00:09:11,580
get a great shot and in our backyard
and in my husband's office, he has
200
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:13,029
got a nice shot of the mountains.
201
00:09:13,029 --> 00:09:14,900
So it still does have a mountain view.
202
00:09:15,066 --> 00:09:16,776
Maybe not exactly what I was
thinking when I wrote that.
203
00:09:16,776 --> 00:09:18,936
I mean, I don't know, but it
just is so crazy to me that
204
00:09:18,936 --> 00:09:21,696
actually manifested and came true.
205
00:09:21,906 --> 00:09:25,416
And again, it knocked all those things
that I had written on that note paper in
206
00:09:25,416 --> 00:09:28,476
2020 before we bought this house, when we
were making that decision, whether or not
207
00:09:28,476 --> 00:09:30,506
we were relocating or staying in Colorado.
208
00:09:30,536 --> 00:09:34,016
It's like this house came up and it
checked every single one of those boxes.
209
00:09:34,016 --> 00:09:37,346
I had written down for myself
about our dream home And
210
00:09:37,346 --> 00:09:38,814
then the other thing I wrote.
211
00:09:38,814 --> 00:09:39,866
About the Hawaii beach house.
212
00:09:40,506 --> 00:09:44,316
So this is another really crazy story,
because I think at this time we had
213
00:09:44,316 --> 00:09:47,577
been to Hawaii once we had been to
Or maybe I'd been twice in my life
214
00:09:47,577 --> 00:09:51,087
before, but as a family with my husband,
we'd been, once we went to Oahu.
215
00:09:51,094 --> 00:09:53,194
And did Waikiki and that
whole thing, which was lovely.
216
00:09:53,434 --> 00:09:55,204
And we had a great time and.
217
00:09:55,391 --> 00:09:57,671
I wrote down that I would like
to have a beach house in Hawaii
218
00:09:57,671 --> 00:09:58,781
someday, which is just weird.
219
00:09:58,781 --> 00:10:03,011
And I think the other reason why maybe
I wrote Hawaii was because my mom
220
00:10:03,071 --> 00:10:07,058
and actually my half brother my ex
stepdad and my other half sister all
221
00:10:07,058 --> 00:10:08,088
still live on the island of Kauai.
222
00:10:08,778 --> 00:10:13,278
My mom had lived on Kauai for a number
of years and I never visited her there.
223
00:10:13,278 --> 00:10:14,898
And I still never been
to Kauai to this day.
224
00:10:14,928 --> 00:10:15,888
I will make it happen.
225
00:10:16,758 --> 00:10:18,948
But, you know, I just feel like
there's a part of my family
226
00:10:18,948 --> 00:10:20,738
that has this Hawaii thing.
227
00:10:20,768 --> 00:10:21,068
Right.
228
00:10:21,068 --> 00:10:23,288
And so that would be a dream
to have a house in Hawaii.
229
00:10:24,128 --> 00:10:28,582
Well, in 2018, we took a
trip as a family to Maui.
230
00:10:28,972 --> 00:10:33,352
And we fell in love with Maui and we
had split our vacation into staying
231
00:10:33,352 --> 00:10:36,182
in an Airbnb for half the time,
and then staying at a regular you
232
00:10:36,182 --> 00:10:37,412
know, kind of hotel on the beach.
233
00:10:37,622 --> 00:10:39,242
So we stayed in two different
areas of the island.
234
00:10:39,242 --> 00:10:41,932
So if you're not familiar
with Maui, there's a couple
235
00:10:41,962 --> 00:10:43,162
different sides of the island.
236
00:10:43,372 --> 00:10:46,252
And at our first trip, we stayed
at an Airbnb in Kihei, which is
237
00:10:46,252 --> 00:10:47,752
on the Southern tip of the island.
238
00:10:47,962 --> 00:10:50,622
And then we stayed in Kaanapali,
which is on the west side, of the
239
00:10:50,622 --> 00:10:52,662
island, which is very touristy.
240
00:10:52,662 --> 00:10:54,432
There's a lot of like hotels there.
241
00:10:54,456 --> 00:10:58,216
Anyway, on that trip, we just fell
in love and we loved our experience
242
00:10:58,232 --> 00:11:02,162
staying in the Airbnb, which was in
Kihei and we also fell in love with the
243
00:11:02,162 --> 00:11:03,932
area it's the Southern part of Maui.
244
00:11:04,152 --> 00:11:05,962
I feel like it gives
you like a local vibe.
245
00:11:05,997 --> 00:11:09,027
Not really resorts it's
more on vacation rentals.
246
00:11:09,027 --> 00:11:11,645
So a lot of condos and some of
them are on the beach and stuff.
247
00:11:11,645 --> 00:11:12,365
It's just beautiful.
248
00:11:12,365 --> 00:11:15,125
And we stayed at this one condo that was
just right across the street from kind of
249
00:11:15,125 --> 00:11:19,545
this little beach, that's more for locals
so not like these big touristy spots.
250
00:11:19,598 --> 00:11:22,208
We met a realtor while we were there and
we were talking to her cause we thought
251
00:11:22,208 --> 00:11:23,918
this would be really great to have.
252
00:11:23,918 --> 00:11:26,138
a condo that we could do a
vacation rental out of just
253
00:11:26,168 --> 00:11:27,128
like the one that we stayed in.
254
00:11:27,128 --> 00:11:29,408
And so we met this
realtor at an open house.
255
00:11:29,408 --> 00:11:32,578
We stayed in touch with her and we
kept our eyes open and looked at
256
00:11:32,578 --> 00:11:34,438
things as they came up for over a year.
257
00:11:34,525 --> 00:11:37,135
And it wasn't until the end of 2018.
258
00:11:37,675 --> 00:11:40,660
When we finally found one
that happened to pop up in the
259
00:11:40,660 --> 00:11:42,400
same complex we had stayed in.
260
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:44,440
So we made an offer and we got it.
261
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,504
We got our first
investment property there.
262
00:11:46,504 --> 00:11:49,504
And I think originally we thought
we'd probably use the same people
263
00:11:49,504 --> 00:11:52,372
that we had booked through as property
management service, and then we
264
00:11:52,372 --> 00:11:54,502
found out how much they charged.
265
00:11:54,502 --> 00:11:56,332
And so my husband's like, why
don't we just try to do this
266
00:11:56,332 --> 00:11:57,912
on our own and see how it goes.
267
00:11:58,402 --> 00:12:01,822
And so it was very much a
learning curve of a process.
268
00:12:02,212 --> 00:12:03,382
We learned a lot.
269
00:12:03,382 --> 00:12:04,305
It wasn't pretty.
270
00:12:04,336 --> 00:12:10,016
But since we closed on that first
one in Kihei in February of 2019.
271
00:12:10,124 --> 00:12:12,330
It's now I sh it's my fucking birthday.
272
00:12:12,330 --> 00:12:12,920
I should know the date.
273
00:12:13,290 --> 00:12:18,340
Now we're in September of 2022, and we now
have five condos on the island of Maui.
274
00:12:18,670 --> 00:12:22,489
We have two in Lahaina and three in Kihei.
275
00:12:22,693 --> 00:12:26,364
And then we now have two other beach
properties, condos in Florida in the
276
00:12:26,364 --> 00:12:28,014
Destin area, Fort Walton beach area.
277
00:12:28,030 --> 00:12:30,790
I mean, it just crazy that I
literally wrote down 2017 with
278
00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:32,980
just thinking, like, wouldn't that
be cool to have a beach house?
279
00:12:32,980 --> 00:12:36,970
I would love to have a beach And now fast
forward, five years later we have seven.
280
00:12:37,014 --> 00:12:39,607
I don't think when I wrote that down,
I was thinking they would be these
281
00:12:39,637 --> 00:12:41,137
short-term investment properties.
282
00:12:41,137 --> 00:12:43,567
And I sure didn't think that I
would be the one that would be
283
00:12:43,567 --> 00:12:45,007
managing them all from Colorado.
284
00:12:45,007 --> 00:12:45,767
But here we are.
285
00:12:45,797 --> 00:12:46,347
So.
286
00:12:46,347 --> 00:12:47,967
I think it goes to show
that it's really cool.
287
00:12:47,967 --> 00:12:51,977
If you can take the time to, whether
it's a birthday or just a random
288
00:12:51,977 --> 00:12:55,307
Tuesday, like writing out goals
that you have for yourself and
289
00:12:55,307 --> 00:12:56,807
maybe giving yourself timelines.
290
00:12:56,807 --> 00:12:58,637
Like this is where I want
to see myself in five years.
291
00:12:58,667 --> 00:13:00,107
This is where I want to
see myself in 10 years.
292
00:13:00,497 --> 00:13:02,867
And then when you can go back and
look and see how much of these things
293
00:13:02,867 --> 00:13:04,367
actually manifested for yourself.
294
00:13:04,727 --> 00:13:08,787
I think it's important to write
down things that are believable
295
00:13:08,807 --> 00:13:11,777
for you, that you believe that you
can do, because that's a big piece
296
00:13:11,777 --> 00:13:14,777
of being able to manifest anything
for yourself and reaching goals is
297
00:13:14,777 --> 00:13:16,337
actually believing that you can do them.
298
00:13:16,410 --> 00:13:19,590
My husband is a great example of
this and it cracks me up because I
299
00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:23,280
don't think he knows how great of a
manifestor he actually is, because I
300
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,620
think he's not the type of guy that
really believes so much maybe in the
301
00:13:26,620 --> 00:13:28,804
law of attraction or manifesting.
302
00:13:28,804 --> 00:13:31,728
But what's funny is he does,
and he does it without even
303
00:13:31,728 --> 00:13:32,928
knowing that's what he's doing.
304
00:13:33,108 --> 00:13:36,258
But from the time I've met him, he's
always known that he was going to
305
00:13:36,258 --> 00:13:40,438
hit these specific goals as far as
building a business and the type of
306
00:13:40,438 --> 00:13:41,848
income that he wanted in his life.
307
00:13:42,058 --> 00:13:44,368
Like he saw that and he
believed that for himself.
308
00:13:44,398 --> 00:13:49,108
He would tell me that as you know,
a teenager, he would drive by these
309
00:13:49,168 --> 00:13:51,208
neighborhoods of million dollar homes.
310
00:13:51,208 --> 00:13:54,508
And he would say to himself, if there's
this many millionaires out there who
311
00:13:54,508 --> 00:13:57,328
can afford to live in these homes,
then that's possible for me too.
312
00:13:57,688 --> 00:14:00,088
And I think that's how you
have to look at your own life.
313
00:14:00,118 --> 00:14:03,328
Like if you see other people having
and doing and being the things that
314
00:14:03,328 --> 00:14:08,207
you want for yourself, then you need to
use that as your permission slip that
315
00:14:08,207 --> 00:14:11,887
that's possible for you too,, and then
believing that it's possible for you too.
316
00:14:11,938 --> 00:14:14,343
And then writing this stuff down,
creating vision boards, like
317
00:14:14,373 --> 00:14:15,753
all that stuff really works.
318
00:14:15,783 --> 00:14:16,533
It really does.
319
00:14:16,533 --> 00:14:20,223
Like I have a vision board up here for me
for this year and things are happening.
320
00:14:20,223 --> 00:14:21,423
Like I'm putting things in place.
321
00:14:21,423 --> 00:14:25,323
Like it doesn't mean you just write it
down and just hope for the best, right?
322
00:14:25,323 --> 00:14:28,203
Like that's not how it works,
but it's having that belief
323
00:14:28,203 --> 00:14:29,643
and then taking these actions.
324
00:14:30,113 --> 00:14:31,553
Again with our vacation rentals.
325
00:14:31,553 --> 00:14:32,933
Like that was a total risk.
326
00:14:33,053 --> 00:14:35,873
Like I talked to people all the time,
especially when I was more working in real
327
00:14:35,873 --> 00:14:39,830
estate, like people are scared to take
that leap and to do investment properties.
328
00:14:39,830 --> 00:14:43,227
Like it's scary for a lot of people
and I told them it was scary for us
329
00:14:43,227 --> 00:14:48,207
too, but we took that risk and now
our rental income makes way more than
330
00:14:48,477 --> 00:14:51,627
what I was making as a real estate
agent and I'm working A fraction of
331
00:14:51,627 --> 00:14:53,727
the time, like even self managing it.
332
00:14:53,727 --> 00:14:58,047
I probably work maybe 10 to 15 hours
a week on the rental management stuff.
333
00:14:58,047 --> 00:14:58,917
Like it's not bad.
334
00:14:59,097 --> 00:15:01,167
Some of the jobs are annoying
and I do complain to my
335
00:15:01,167 --> 00:15:02,697
husband a lot about it because.
336
00:15:03,567 --> 00:15:06,267
I'm really horrible at customer
service and running a business
337
00:15:06,267 --> 00:15:10,077
because I typically sympathize with
our people and it's hard for me.
338
00:15:10,077 --> 00:15:13,880
I get taken advantage of, I'll say that
and it's hard for me to compartmentalize
339
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,840
or not get offended and things . So I
have to work harder at that and I'm sure
340
00:15:18,170 --> 00:15:22,270
my job would be a lot easier as far as
management goes, but I'm just saying.
341
00:15:22,357 --> 00:15:26,417
That going after your dreams is scary
and it does involve taking risks.
342
00:15:26,447 --> 00:15:29,117
It involves like taking
actions that are scary.
343
00:15:29,117 --> 00:15:32,297
And when you start doing something
new, like, are you going to be great?
344
00:15:32,327 --> 00:15:35,867
No, like I'm starting this podcast,
is the first episode great?
345
00:15:35,957 --> 00:15:38,777
No, it's not like I gave my simple
explanation of what the podcast
346
00:15:38,777 --> 00:15:41,447
was going to be, but my editing
sucked, but you know, I'm going to
347
00:15:41,447 --> 00:15:44,087
show up every week and I'm going to
continue to learn and get better.
348
00:15:44,087 --> 00:15:46,517
And maybe one day I'll get to
the point where I can pass off my
349
00:15:46,517 --> 00:15:47,967
episodes to get professionally edited.
350
00:15:48,407 --> 00:15:50,167
But until then I'm going
to edit them myself.
351
00:15:50,537 --> 00:15:53,747
And it's going to be what it is, and
it's just going to grow and evolve over
352
00:15:53,747 --> 00:15:58,298
time and I'll get better at speaking
more clearly and not having to edit
353
00:15:58,328 --> 00:16:02,615
as much or getting the episodes more
fluent or better for my audience.
354
00:16:02,615 --> 00:16:04,175
You know, those are things
I'm going to learn over time.
355
00:16:04,312 --> 00:16:09,204
So the intention of this episode was
wanting to say, Hey, it's my birthday.
356
00:16:09,564 --> 00:16:13,574
And also just this cool thing
about writing your goals and
357
00:16:13,574 --> 00:16:15,944
how things can unfold for you.
358
00:16:16,164 --> 00:16:17,645
I think I will do another episode.
359
00:16:17,645 --> 00:16:21,635
That's maybe a little bit more detailed
on how to manifest or more about the law
360
00:16:21,635 --> 00:16:25,445
of attraction, but for now I think it's
just really cool that if you want to take
361
00:16:25,445 --> 00:16:28,715
the time and write out some things for
yourself, like where do you see yourself
362
00:16:28,715 --> 00:16:30,095
in five years and write that down?
363
00:16:30,113 --> 00:16:34,605
I went ahead since I had found that
note from 2017, the year I turned
364
00:16:34,605 --> 00:16:37,655
30 and reflecting and then seeing
how much stuff had played out.
365
00:16:37,655 --> 00:16:39,965
I was like, holy shit, this is so cool.
366
00:16:39,991 --> 00:16:42,916
I always knew I wanted to share that
one example of this house we're in,
367
00:16:42,916 --> 00:16:44,236
because I thought that was insane.
368
00:16:44,236 --> 00:16:46,776
That the fact that I had wrote all that
stuff down and I was thinking it was
369
00:16:46,776 --> 00:16:49,866
going to be a Florida house that we found
and then ended up being a Colorado house.
370
00:16:50,376 --> 00:16:52,546
I think that's the thing we have
to keep in mind too, is that when
371
00:16:52,546 --> 00:16:53,876
we have these goals for ourselves,
372
00:16:54,223 --> 00:16:56,113
It may not happen the
way we think it will.
373
00:16:56,143 --> 00:16:58,813
You know, like when I wrote down
a Hawaii house, I wasn't thinking
374
00:16:58,813 --> 00:17:02,683
that it was going to be this
whole new revenue stream for us.
375
00:17:02,683 --> 00:17:04,633
I didn't know this was going to
be a whole new business venture
376
00:17:04,633 --> 00:17:06,411
of us having vacation rentals.
377
00:17:06,411 --> 00:17:09,181
I had no idea that's what was
going to manifest from this.
378
00:17:09,481 --> 00:17:12,501
That wasn't my goal when I wrote it
down, I just wrote down a beach house.
379
00:17:12,531 --> 00:17:15,351
You just never know how
things are going to turn out.
380
00:17:15,351 --> 00:17:18,981
You might have a goal of
Reaching a certain income level.
381
00:17:19,131 --> 00:17:22,821
Maybe when you're first writing that goal,
it's in your current situation, you feel
382
00:17:22,821 --> 00:17:30,651
like you want to grow your income by doing
X, Y, Z, but then turns out you do grow
383
00:17:30,651 --> 00:17:33,711
your income, but it came by way of ABC.
384
00:17:33,891 --> 00:17:36,741
Like you just don't know exactly how
things are going to unfold for you
385
00:17:36,741 --> 00:17:40,964
or how things are actually going to
turn out, but you get the same result.
386
00:17:40,994 --> 00:17:41,354
Right.
387
00:17:41,429 --> 00:17:43,949
And I think what is meant
for you, is there for you.
388
00:17:44,689 --> 00:17:48,529
And again, it has to do with your
belief in it and knowing that
389
00:17:48,529 --> 00:17:50,659
whatever you want is already here.
390
00:17:50,689 --> 00:17:52,999
And if you know that and believe that.
391
00:17:53,479 --> 00:17:55,819
Then you don't need to worry about the
how, and when it's going to happen,
392
00:17:55,849 --> 00:17:57,149
you just have to have that belief.
393
00:17:57,859 --> 00:18:01,669
You need to take actions and do
things to help get yourself there
394
00:18:01,939 --> 00:18:06,229
and then being okay when things
don't go exactly as you plan them.
395
00:18:06,649 --> 00:18:09,619
But to stay confident in knowing
that it's going to show up for you.
396
00:18:09,619 --> 00:18:12,064
Like I can use my book,
as another example.
397
00:18:12,114 --> 00:18:13,794
I've known, I wanted to
write a book forever.
398
00:18:14,244 --> 00:18:15,694
And I finally.
399
00:18:15,744 --> 00:18:17,694
Jumped in and started working on it.
400
00:18:17,724 --> 00:18:22,444
And I joined a writer's workshop
community, And I've been in
401
00:18:22,444 --> 00:18:25,534
that for over a year and been
kind of like in and out of it.
402
00:18:25,564 --> 00:18:29,962
And they Offered a four day intensive
workshop and I decided to sign up for And
403
00:18:29,962 --> 00:18:34,422
it was the first time I actually showed up
and was physically present for each day of
404
00:18:34,422 --> 00:18:36,012
the virtual workshop, which is unheard of.
405
00:18:36,012 --> 00:18:38,712
I've signed up for so many workshops
and just have never showed up.
406
00:18:39,012 --> 00:18:40,452
I plan to watch the recording,
407
00:18:40,932 --> 00:18:41,682
90% of the time.
408
00:18:41,682 --> 00:18:42,222
I never do.
409
00:18:42,265 --> 00:18:44,455
It was the first time . I showed
up and went every single day.
410
00:18:44,455 --> 00:18:46,455
And I got so much information
from this workshop.
411
00:18:46,915 --> 00:18:48,985
And inspired me, like I'm
going to do this right.
412
00:18:49,045 --> 00:18:52,528
And so with this workshop, You're given
the opportunity to submit a book proposal.
413
00:18:52,528 --> 00:18:55,859
To a publisher and this publisher
happens to be my dream publisher.
414
00:18:55,859 --> 00:18:59,159
And normally you can not submit a proposal
to them unless you have a literary agent.
415
00:18:59,459 --> 00:19:02,909
So being a part of this workshop, you get
kind of this green light to submit a book
416
00:19:02,909 --> 00:19:05,369
proposal without having a literary agent.
417
00:19:05,405 --> 00:19:06,703
And so I'm like holy shit,
I'm going to do that.
418
00:19:07,153 --> 00:19:10,423
And then I got to thinking they had
another submission opportunity for anybody
419
00:19:10,423 --> 00:19:13,093
who is part of the writers community,
which I had been a part of for the year.
420
00:19:13,093 --> 00:19:15,403
And I'm like, oh, well
that deadline sooner.
421
00:19:15,403 --> 00:19:16,663
Maybe I'll get it done by then.
422
00:19:17,143 --> 00:19:21,193
And so I got my book proposal done and I
submitted it with that submission window.
423
00:19:21,213 --> 00:19:22,803
I was sure I was going to get picked.
424
00:19:22,833 --> 00:19:26,133
I mean, I was so sure, like I know that
my book is meant for this publisher.
425
00:19:26,133 --> 00:19:26,763
I know it.
426
00:19:26,763 --> 00:19:27,393
I believe it.
427
00:19:27,393 --> 00:19:28,293
I can see it.
428
00:19:28,863 --> 00:19:30,243
I did not get chosen.
429
00:19:30,633 --> 00:19:34,716
In that book proposal submission,
I was up against 200 other people
430
00:19:34,716 --> 00:19:35,826
that had submitted their proposal.
431
00:19:35,826 --> 00:19:35,996
So.
432
00:19:37,026 --> 00:19:39,006
You know, that's a lot and I'm
sure a lot of them are very good.
433
00:19:39,036 --> 00:19:41,486
Some of them are probably working
on the proposals for years and I've
434
00:19:41,486 --> 00:19:43,263
been working on mine for six weeks.
435
00:19:43,833 --> 00:19:46,563
So I decided that's okay.
436
00:19:46,876 --> 00:19:51,406
I'm going to, refine my proposal and
re-submit it on this other submission
437
00:19:51,406 --> 00:19:52,966
deadline that's happening here next month.
438
00:19:53,456 --> 00:19:54,436
And so that's my plan.
439
00:19:54,436 --> 00:19:56,356
It'll be just for people
who attended the workshop.
440
00:19:56,356 --> 00:19:58,546
So it should be a smaller
pool of people that submit.
441
00:19:58,546 --> 00:19:59,470
And we'll see what happens.
442
00:19:59,470 --> 00:20:03,989
And I'm confident that one way or
the other, my book will be published.
443
00:20:03,989 --> 00:20:04,949
I know that for a fact.
444
00:20:04,949 --> 00:20:08,819
And I also know that one day
I will be a published author
445
00:20:08,819 --> 00:20:10,289
through the publishing house.
446
00:20:10,649 --> 00:20:11,409
I'm meant to be in.
447
00:20:11,472 --> 00:20:12,052
So.
448
00:20:12,072 --> 00:20:14,652
My belief right now is that it's going
to be with this specific publisher,
449
00:20:14,652 --> 00:20:17,682
but you know, maybe in the future, it's
not, maybe there's another publisher.
450
00:20:17,682 --> 00:20:19,882
That's even better for
my book, I don't know.
451
00:20:19,882 --> 00:20:21,042
But I do know that one day.
452
00:20:21,682 --> 00:20:23,902
My book's going to be published and
I'm going to keep working on it.
453
00:20:23,932 --> 00:20:25,442
I'll see what happens
with this submission.
454
00:20:26,072 --> 00:20:28,642
And then i'll you know
continue to finish my book and.
455
00:20:29,242 --> 00:20:31,552
Get it published one way or
the other, like it's happening.
456
00:20:31,822 --> 00:20:33,832
And you guys can follow me
along through this story, in
457
00:20:33,832 --> 00:20:35,122
this ride and see how this goes.
458
00:20:35,122 --> 00:20:38,421
Like it takes a long time to
get a book out into the world.
459
00:20:38,466 --> 00:20:41,796
Right now , I'm still working on the
manuscript, working my way through it.
460
00:20:41,796 --> 00:20:44,222
And, So, yeah, once I get
that finished, we'll see what
461
00:20:44,222 --> 00:20:45,972
happens on the publishing side.
462
00:20:45,972 --> 00:20:49,414
And we'll see what happens with this
proposal submission here in October.
463
00:20:49,431 --> 00:20:51,707
I'll find out what happens in December.
464
00:20:51,707 --> 00:20:55,187
So it's a 60 day waiting period,
which is really fun way to exercise
465
00:20:55,187 --> 00:20:58,517
my patience on finding out the
results of that submission.
466
00:20:58,847 --> 00:21:01,367
And if I don't get chosen totally fine.
467
00:21:01,367 --> 00:21:04,097
I just know that it means there's
something better that's coming or
468
00:21:04,097 --> 00:21:05,657
whatever's meant to be is still there.
469
00:21:05,657 --> 00:21:09,471
I still believe and know that I'm going
to be a published author, no matter
470
00:21:09,471 --> 00:21:13,081
what this book is getting published and
I'm going to keep working on my book.
471
00:21:13,581 --> 00:21:16,041
And I'm going to take
each opportunity I have.
472
00:21:16,041 --> 00:21:20,281
And so I have this opportunity to submit
this proposal to my ideal publisher.
473
00:21:20,781 --> 00:21:23,811
And I'm going to step back and
let the universe handle the rest.
474
00:21:23,811 --> 00:21:25,301
And what's meant to be, is meant to be.
475
00:21:25,331 --> 00:21:27,231
I'm confident in the
end result happening.
476
00:21:27,591 --> 00:21:28,521
The way it's meant to.
477
00:21:28,618 --> 00:21:31,528
I definitely felt some feelings
when I didn't get picked.
478
00:21:31,528 --> 00:21:31,828
Right.
479
00:21:31,828 --> 00:21:34,558
Like that's real, but it was quick lived.
480
00:21:34,558 --> 00:21:37,088
Like I quickly got over it because
I knew it had another opportunity.
481
00:21:38,068 --> 00:21:41,308
And I still had that faith
and that knowing that my book
482
00:21:41,308 --> 00:21:42,118
is going to be in the world.
483
00:21:42,118 --> 00:21:43,168
I know that it's needed.
484
00:21:43,408 --> 00:21:45,328
I know that I'm going to get it
out there one way or the other.
485
00:21:45,428 --> 00:21:45,468
Anyway.
486
00:21:46,062 --> 00:21:47,442
If you guys don't know.
487
00:21:47,546 --> 00:21:52,406

podcasts and they are always uploaded
488
00:21:52,406 --> 00:21:56,300

come out on the podcasting services.
489
00:21:56,300 --> 00:22:01,820
So if you ever want to see my face and my
expressions and my hand talking movements,
490
00:22:02,090 --> 00:22:03,980
you can see the videos on YouTube.

date 2022 I see myself in five years,
blank, blank, blank, like put five things.
509
00:23:00,268 --> 00:23:03,598
You can even categorize it where you
see yourself in your relationships,
510
00:23:03,598 --> 00:23:06,198
your career and your spirituality
and your health wellness.
511
00:23:06,928 --> 00:23:08,278
Income, whatever.
512
00:23:08,315 --> 00:23:11,255
Put those little bullet points on where
you see yourself in five years and
513
00:23:11,255 --> 00:23:14,355
then see what happens in five years
and see if you achieve those things.
514
00:23:14,555 --> 00:23:18,245
I keep that in the back of your mind,
I just think it's so fucking trippy
515
00:23:18,275 --> 00:23:20,225
and really also fucking awesome.
516
00:23:20,645 --> 00:23:22,799
