[Ka] I'm here because I have a really important message to share with you.
I want to share with you how you can achieve absolutely anything you want.
And I want to share this or this inspiration I want to be to you in harmony or embed this
in a personal story I experience with my family.
Yeah, and I want to give you some tools, also, you can apply to just, you know, create an
awesome, more awesome life.
Before I go there, I just would like to briefly introduce myself.
I'm here with my family.
Some guys have seen me with my family already.
We have five kids.
We travel the world on an ongoing basis.
We have a base in Costa Rica.
Thank you.
And I would always like to call it like we have true freedom, we have freedom.
We don't have a home, we don't have a car, we don't have furniture, we don't have any,
like, too many belongings at all.
In fact, we're here with like two suitcases among seven people.
So we are really light and we are constantly letting go.
We are professionals in letting go.
And I like what Vishen was sharing yesterday about hacking, we are hacking like everything.
We are questioning everything there is on Earth and just really reshape the reality
the way we want it and the way we think it's just no better.
So I'm together with my wife since 17 years.
We have those five kids together.
And we change the world, that's what we do.
On the one hand, we provide information about natural health and healing, plant-based diet,
eating veganism, organic, locally, seasonal.
That's something I've very, very passionate about.
And on the other hand, I also have become, because we have been coming so successfully
with that, sharing with the world and making also, like, good money and helping so many
people, we reach millions of people, that people have been asking me about, "How do
you live the lifestyle, travel around the world with the kids and touch so many lives?
How do you get so, like, hundreds of thousands of fans and followers and millions of clicks?
How do you do that?"
And so people ask me to become a business coach.
And now I'm helping heart-based people, awesome people like you to get started, sharing their
passion with a huge audience online, so we can, together, just change the world.
That's what I signed up for, and this is what I'm here for, for you today.
However, and this is my story now, which will then, hopefully, and I trust, inspire you,
it has not always been like this.
We have been, just some years ago, we lived in England to do homeschooling in peace with
our kids.
We worked three jobs.
I worked on a job at night shift, in a home for elderly people.
My wife worked two jobs during the day, in a health food store and in an organic clothing
store.
And we were desperate men.
We didn't see each other.
We were broke.
We had additional support from the government because we couldn't feed our kids with the
3 jobs, working 24/7, almost, you know.
We couldn't afford to buy proper food.
Organic food is important for us.
We were really, like, we were so broke and we were desperate.
And the worst thing was that we envisioned that it would be going on for the rest of
our days, you know.
So there was no improvement in sight.
So this is why I feel like stuck.
We were stuck in this life, in this rat race, in this 9:00 to 5:00 rat race.
And this is, by the way, my family.
I forgot the slides.
For those who haven't met you.
And we were stuck with that, and we desperately wanted to change, but we didn't know how.
And then, very frequently, while my wife was working at the health food store, people asked
us about the plant-based diet, the raw food we were eating with our family, getting some
advice from us.
And this, after the 20th, 30th person asked us, we just started a website called The Rawfood
Family.
And pretty soon, a lot of people followed us because I was really passionate just about
educating parents, about educating individuals, how to heal eating more organic, healthy,
raw foods, avoid sugar, white sugar, avoid gluten, avoid meat, no alcohol.
That's at least my take.
I had the best parties not being drunk.
I know you don't like, because it was all about getting shots in the evening and stuff.
So you can have so much fun, that's another belief I'd love for you to hack.
You don't have to get shots to have an awesome time.
It's not necessary.
You can be so much...
Well, anyway, we get started online, and then people asked us to share recipes.
"What do you eat if you eat like raw foods or healthy foods?"
So we created a recipe book.
We successfully sold that, and we slowly build a business.
However, it was really slow.
But, and this is my inspiration to your guys, we decided, from England, to just let go of
everything we ever owned there and to move to Costa Rica.
Our business was doing like...
We have one Tica here in the room from Costa Rica.
Our business did not justify this.
I mean, it was insanity.
It just seemed like a good idea at the time.
Our business was making a couple of hundred dollars a month, maybe if we were lucky, like
$600, $700, $800 a month on a family of 5 people living in England.
Some guys are from England here.
This is not a lot of money to feed a family.
We decided, based on pure faith and trust, to just let go of everything and fly the heck
out of this situation, go to Costa Rica, and trust that our business will provide for us.
That was our big... the biggest step of faith we ever did.
And so we sold the car, which was funding the plane ticket.
We bought the plane ticket.
We went to London Heathrow Airport this one morning, it was in March 2010, it's not that
long ago, guys.
We were standing there in Heathrow Airport with $500 in our pockets.
My wife was pregnant with number four, we had nowhere to go, there was just one way
in going to Costa Rica.
And then we wanted to check in, and then the guy or the lady there at the counter told
us, "Well, you're not going to fly to Costa Rica."
The passports of the kids are not valid to get ESTA.
We had to go through the United States.
And I don't want to go into that too deep, but we were not allowed to get on this plane
because of passport issues.
Man, this was like a bad movie.
That was like a nightmare.
My wife faded on the floor.
We were like screaming.
We were begging on our knees, honestly.
I was calling New York immigration and said, "Guys, please, please, let us on this plane.
We need to go there."
You know, there was no way.
I saw the plane took off without us.
And the best part was, it was nonrefundable flight tickets.
We didn't afford like not to save.
So the money was gone.
It was like $5000, $6,000, which was so much money for us back in the day.
We're standing with $500, London Heathrow Airport, nowhere to go, and my wife, really,
I was afraid of my wife because she was so out of her mind, you know.
And then, I will not forget this, this was my little son, Jaros.
He's holding his little sister here.
He looked me in the eye and he said to me, "Daddy, don't you worry, we're going to get
to Costa Rica."
And he said this with so much strength and with so much heart that that had cheered me
up for some reason.
It cheered me up.
And so we just get into a hotel and paid.
Now, half of the $500 were gone for the hotel night, and I was just sitting there like biting
my nails, "What can we do?How can we make this happen?"
And I did, which was, for me, the unthinkable.
You have to see that I never had support from my family.
I always took pride in that almost so that I could always take care of my family myself.
We were doing, like, homeschooling, we were doing, like, this vegan diet, plant-based,
we were letting go of our secure jobs to go on a new country, with no money, whatsoever.
Our parents could not understand, and I have total understanding for that.
I've been not talking in years to my father.
They also don't have really a lot of money or something.
So I've never got support from my father, and there was no connection, whatsoever.
And I did the unthinkable, I call up, this night, my father and did what was like, I
could never have imagined to do that.
I called him and said, "Daddy, please, for the love of God, I never asked anything of
you.I never asked anything.
We always did take care of ourselves.But for once in my lifetime, please, daddy, help us.
I need you to borrow me that money so I can fly my family the heck out of this situation.And
I'm afraid Katie, my wife, has a miscarriage.Please help us, please."
And my daddy, he didn't even blink with his eye, he just said, "I'm going to help you,
son.
Where do I have to transport the money to?"
You see what happens if you're willing to get so uncomfortable?
Manifesting your dream, getting over this thing that you're afraid the most that is
standing between you and your goal.
If you just go there, magic can happen.
And I told my daddy, "Daddy, this is great.
Thank you so much.But it's not going to work that way.
If the person who purchased the plane tickets is not the one who's taking the plane tickets,
you have to show up at the gate tomorrow morning, 4 a.m."
We couldn't afford to be long in that hotel.
And he said, "No worries, I'm going to get...right now, I'm going to pack my stuff together,
I'm going to get to the train station, fly over to London, and see you there."
Four a.m. the next morning, my father was at London Heathrow Airport, and we were flying
out of London.
And to the day, I paid every dime back with interest with all the travel expenses.
We have the most amazing relationship.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing him this summer in Germany.
This healed the relationship I had so bad for years with my father.
And it transformed the life of me, of my kids, of so many people we could touch after that.
Because from there on, really, our life took off.
And now, we have, like, you know, all the freedom, all the financial freedom we ever
need to do good things with the world.
So this is my story, and the inspiration here is, again, guys, if you're just willing to
do what is absolutely necessary, if you get into the thing that you fear the most, I've
seen this in my own life but also with clients I help with, magic can happen, truly.
So you just have to be willing to get really uncomfortable.
And sometimes, you have to get real down to get to this point, which, for me, was being,
you know, in London Heathrow Airport.
But now, I would like to...you know, if we can do this, if we can do this, coming from
social poverty, you know, having, like, slave jobs, no education, no rich parents, and now
having a life that is so awesome, changing the world, what the fuck can you achieve?
So I have seven rules I applied in our life and I would like to give to you now to achieve
absolutely anything you want in your life.
So, number one, you got to do something you're absolutely passionate about.
You got to love what you're doing.
You should not have a job that just pays well or gives you fame or any of that crap.
That's not... what, in the end, counts is that you do something your heart is calling
you for, you feel very strongly about.
That's the essence of creating a fulfilled life.
And you want to only create abundance and fame with something you love.
You want to be loved for who you are and not for who you think you have to be.
So you have to be passionate about what it is that you do, number one.
Number two, you have to believe it's possible.
You have to believe your dreams.
Don't listen to your parents, to all the people around you.
They will all tell you, talk you out of it.
I've been there so many times, people are going to talk you out of that.
You got to believe that it's possible.
You got to believe that you are meant to do something more.
So it's not just...it's nice to think about it, but you really got to, again, affirm.
It's like a ping pong game in your head, you know.
Some part will tell you it's not possible, and you just have to move into your gut again
and believe it's possible.
Then anything can be achieved.
Number three, you have to look forward, not backward.
The sentence I always like to share here is like, "Do not allow the person you have been
yesterday to define the person you want to be tomorrow."
You see, don't live a life looking in the back mirror of your car while you're driving.
It's dangerous, man.
You know, you're going to hit something in front of you.
So you got to allow yourself that the thoughts you think today, the feelings you have today,
they're going to shape your reality tomorrow.
We've heard from other speakers about that, and it's so true.
I was envisioning myself traveling the world with my family, having financial abundance,
doing something with meaning while I was totally broke, not even buying food or able to buy
food for my family and having this shitty job there.
I knew it's going to happen, so you got to look forward to where you want to go.
This is also a really crucial point.
The next one is you need to be allowing yourself to get support.
Don't do this by yourself.
All the speakers you're going to see here, nobody of them has done it by themselves.
So you have to allow, in various different way, to get support from people you love,
but also from professionals.
And there, again, you know, for me, investing in something, being so broke, it was like,
we took a loan, basically, to start the business, you know.
And that was so fearsome because you just don't know if it's really going to work out.
You have to trust, man.
If you think this is the right direction, go for it.
Get support.
The next thing is that you have to check your relationships.
You know, the path that we are all in here, creating more beauty and abundance into our
life, is a path of transformation, of drastic transformation.
So there will be people close to you right now who cannot follow you.
You're showing a mirror to them about what can be achieved.
They're uncomfortable with that.
They want to keep you where you are.
Parts of yourself want to keep you where you are.
So you have to find... this is why we're here in Awesomeness for, aren't we?
To find new friends.
So this is very important, you have to be willing to let go.
Either way, you recalibrate friendships, you take your friends with you, and if it's not
possible, you will have to just let go, okay, and find new friends.
Trust there's always new.
This is why it's so easy for us to let that go, because I just know there's an affirmation
that served us very well, why we never hold on to stuff.
You know, I just have barely, you know, some more clothes like I have on my body.
I just know, when I need new clothes or something, I'm just going to buy them or they're going
to just be there, or when I need something, it's just going to be there.
I'm going to buy it or get it or I'm going to manifest it.
And then, if I don't need it, I just let it go.
It's the worst thing you can do, always with trying to hold on to things by thinking, "Oh,
they might come handy at times."
That's the worst thing.
And then those things were going to end up in your cellar and the attic and everywhere,
and you're going to be cluttered.
And how do you expect to get new things in your life if your life is full with old stuff,
you know?
Think about that.
Got to be willing to let go.
And the last thing, and this is, you know, really tied to the story, you got to be willing
to move into your fear.
And this is really a difficult one.
Most often, it only happens if you get so uncomfortable, if you suffer so much that
the fear is not holding you back anymore.
I'd love...to me, I always like this because we have been doing this so often, you know.
The sleep going to Costa Rica, back in the time, I can't think of something more...I
would be more...
being here on stage, I was afraid for.
But, now, I'm here, you know.
Now, I'm here.
So, I see, I embrace.
If something, you say, "Oh, hello, fear.Hello, my friend.
Come on.
Let's give you a hug."
That's a nice way of seeing it, you know.
Embrace your fear and just move along with it, and move into it and it's going to transform.
This is just how it works.
And the last one, of course, we've said this before, I just want to highlight, it's about
being grateful.
If you want to achieve more beauty and abundance in your life, you got to be willing to find
reasons today you're grateful for today.
If you're only thinking about, "I want to achieve that.
I'm unhappy here where I am right now," you're going to create more of what you're unhappy
about.
So you got to be willing to find reasons you're grateful for today.
And if it's just the sunlight on your skin, or having great company, being at this awesome
event, gratefulness is the most transformational power there is on Earth.
Okay, these were my seven rules, and I have to end my talk, which is really a short talk.
I would like you all to stand up for me.
Please don't let me alone.
It's the first time I'm doing this.
So please stand up.
It's just a little exercise.
I want you to close your eyes for now and take a deep breath.
Take a deep breath in.
Close your eyes and I want you to connect with your dream, with what it is that makes
you feel better.
And if you don't know this precisely, I would like you just to connect with the possibility,
with the direction your dream is unfolding.
So you don't have to know it per se but just connect with the feeling of having more meaning
in your life, having all the abundance, being able to do what you want to do because you
want it and not because it's cheap, to touch lives, to change lives.
Where would you be waking up?
What would you be doing?
Feel into this, sink into this feeling, connect with it, be that feeling, and now expand from
there.
Trust and know that the person next to you, to the right and to the left, to the front
and the back, is in the similar space.
I get this video up on YouTube, we will have ten thousands of people watching right now,
being in the same space.
We are all connected with our dreams, with our hopes, with something that makes us feel
good.
Are you there, guys?
Now, I would like you to open up your eyes again, and I would like you to cheer loudly
if you think, do you think that this is possible?
- [Everyone] Yes.
- Yeah, whoa, good.
Ladies, again, good.
Do you feel awesome?
- Yes.
- Yeah.
Thank you, guys.
Bye-bye.
