oh this video is 9.97 views on it was it three times tonight I got you thank you
should entrepreneurs get therapy yes thanks for watching please subscribe to my channel
in this video I want to share with you one of the biggest growth hacks of my life and yes that is
therapy but also something I never thought I'd do psychedelic therapy one of my favorite quotes
is if you don't have the business you want it's because you haven't become the person who can run
it yet and another favorite is your business can only grow to the level you do and I love
those quotes because it takes the spotlight away from the business itself and shines it on you to
stay accountable for your own personal growth so that you can become the type of leader that
your business needs entrepreneurs are evolutionary beings and we're on a journey of constant growth
and that doesn't only mean business growth it means that we as entrepreneurs need to evolve as
people to grow spiritually mentally emotionally honestly therapy and healing and growth is
one of the key things that I talk about as an entrepreneur it's one of my favorite topics that I
could go on and on and on about I have discussions over dinner hours with fellow entrepreneurs on
this subject but I want to hone in on three key points in this video so that I don't talk
for hours and hours but if you do ever meet me in person let's talk [Music] [Applause] [Music]
the first point is we don't have business problems we have me problems the beginning of our journey
as entrepreneurs are quite similar we start off recognizing our superpower so to say and we kick
off our business we do all the things we get the momentum and we start making things happen it's
exhilarating and many of us wonder why we didn't start earlier and then in the process of this
we start to kind of burn out or things start to Bubble Up whether that's past traumas and
triggers that we didn't know we had and starts to get really uncomfortable not because there's
anything wrong with the business itself but that Spotlight begins to shine on us and reveal some
really uncomfortable things imposter syndrome insecurities feeling like you're not enough and
if you don't feel worthy you might hesitate to maybe charge what you're worth if you don't feel
like you're enough just as you are you might not be able to show up on camera or on social media if
somewhere along the way you were in validated you might not believe in your own message or a story
that you're trying to spread personally I made my first million dollars in my business from the
place of needing external validation I was driven by external validation I got my entire self-worth
from my business my relationship same amount of money that I made and oh boy when I did make that
first million and I started to realize where that need for validation came from I knew that what got
me here won't get me there to get to the next level of my business I needed to work on myself
and shift in my identity how I defined myself the second point I want to touch on and this is one
of the toughest things that I personally had to deal with is that as you grow you might lose the
people closest to you for me I had some periods where my growth landed on their wounds there
are some people in your life that you wouldn't have never expected that may turn their back on
you or turn against you and it hurts and that may mean saying goodbye to some friendships that once
meant the world to you but you grew apart grew different directions the most important thing
is that you don't stay where you are to keep those people in your life they either evolve
with you or you have to be willing to let them go on the other side of that as you evolve and
your business grows you're going to attract people who are also evolving with you and these are the
people who are going to be with you on that next level of your journey whether they're new mentors
or their friends who are journeying beside you you will lose people but you'll also meet new
people along the way and each level is a constant balance of Letting Go I love thinking about the
phrase you are the average of The Five People You spend the most time with it really makes me think
and assess who are the people that I surround myself with are they calling me up are they
encouraging me to grow are they also calling me out on areas that I might be playing small
I want that in my life and it also calls to me to give my best what do I bring to the table for the
five people that I spend the most time with am I contributing am I serving am am I encouraging
them to call themselves up I know for myself I do not want to be the smartest person in the room I
want to be near people who encourage me and can also lovingly push me into more growth the third
point I want to talk about is psychedelics as a form of therapy so when we talk about therapy we
usually think about conventional forms of therapy but therapy looks different for everyone and of
course it does because no human being is the same everyone needs different things to heal and grow
therapy for you could look like the conventional type or spiritual therapy cognitive therapy life
regression therapy energy therapy there are so many out there just naming a few finding the
right one might be a series of trial and error but definitely keep an open mind do your research talk
to people who've done it for myself I was going to therapy conventional type of therapy three times
a week and I found myself crying to my therapist about the same things this was a period in my life
shortly after my divorce where I was just looping believing that I was unlovable trying to prove
myself and trying to figure out what do I have to do to be good enough to be worthy for someone to
love me again I felt really rejected by a previous relationship I had a lot of pressure to redefine
myself after my divorce especially understanding now that I was defining Myself by my relationships
and finding myself worth in relationships in my business that had changed so much in that year
even though I knew logically that of course I'm worthy and lovable and I'm just going through a
tough time I could not integrate it emotionally no matter how much therapy I went for and I knew that
I was looping on the same things I myself was sick of repeating the the voice that was going
on in my head so a friend of mine recommended psychedelic therapy said hey why don't you come
out to it was a different city that I went to and it's kind of underground at the time there's this
nurse here that was registered and certified to do it and for me I was terrified at first I had
never done drugs in my life not that psychedelic therapy is a drug but just you know on this Street
when you think of things like MDMA therapy which on the street is Molly it was scary to me I'd
never done it before I didn't know if I was gonna like lose control but at this point in my life I
was so desperate that I did a ton of research I watched a lot of documentaries I studied as
much as I could to really understand it and make a decision based on that knowledge and finally I
agreed to it I said I just I didn't want to live like this anymore I was kind of at a point of
of desperation so I said okay let's do it and it changed my life it felt like five years of therapy
in a day MDMA therapy what it does chemically is it dumps your serotonin so it's just all
love and reduces your amygdala so it removes the ego it removes the fear so that I could look back
at these different phases of my life with more compassion a different perspective by you know
removing the the shields that our brains really put up to to protect us from the trauma I was
able to to lift that and see it from a new point of view and I was able to look at the patterns
in my life of the codependent relationships I had whether that was my marriage my in-laws my
previous friendships bosses that I had the Mean Girls in high school even all the way back down
to how I was raised like with my parents and my grandparents and just the close relationships
around me to understand that who I am today was of course shaped by such Early Childhood experiences
which normally we don't remember we just have these stories these beliefs that we we don't
know the epistemology we don't know where it came from I don't believe that I would have gotten the
epiphanies the life-changing realizations without this psychedelic therapy I have another video on
my channel that'll link below where I share more of the full story of what came up for me in that
first MDMA therapy session and really more of how I felt how it worked and I have some other videos
on my Channel about some other kind of psychedelic therapies that I've tried such as psilocybin
Ayahuasca I have some videos on my channel I'll link that below before I did my research I had the
wrong perception about psychedelics I was totally afraid of it when you see it as a drug and you're
using it in the wrong set and setting that's not an opportunity for healing but when it's done in a
safe and controlled environment and to be used as a tool for this incredible form of therapy when I
open myself up to the experience of psychedelics I started having fun in my business again I was able
to change my fuel source in my business from Pain really I was coping by working rather than loving
and feeling passionate about what I do I started loving life again so for me psychedelics helped
remind me that I am already learning and healing through my lived experiences this isn't a video to
try to sell you on psychedelics I have no benefit to whether you've tried or not I've Loved sharing
my own experience and how this type of therapy as an entrepreneur has changed my life it's a great
example of opening ourselves up to the unknown and doing things that we never thought we'd do I found
my momentum not by growing my business and coming up with a new strategy or adding a new offer but
by diving into me and making my self-exploration a priority because as an entrepreneur I get that
it's easy to put ourselves on the back burner to tuck away our own needs but if this one thing
could grow your business exponentially and rake in millions for you would you make it a priority
your own healing your own inner Discovery your own spiritual personal emotional mental development I
have a feeling that you would thanks for watching and if you're an entrepreneur considering therapy
I hope you do it for you again I'll link those videos below with some of my personal experiences
with different kinds of therapy and also some of the videos where I share just vulnerably the top
stuff that I was going through how I got through it thanks for watching subscribe see you later
