Welcome to episode nine of my podcasts The view from the crow's nest I am Romeo Crow and I am going to be in your ear holes for the next few minutes. Thank you very much for joining me. I want to say a big shout out to the estimated for people who are listening to my podcast, this is a say episode nine ninth day of my daily podcast, and apparently I've had about 30 plays estimated of the podcast, though, that doesn't include YouTube where they're getting uploaded to each day, of which there are a few plays on there. So, one of the show's parents had six people listen to it. According to anchor so I don't know how that's estimated as for people But anyways, I want to say thank you to each and every one of you guys for listening, and whoever listens in the future. I'm really grateful. So thank you for spending your time with me today I wanted to talk about something, a conversation actually came up with my mom. Earlier, and it was about limiting limiting beliefs, and the, the crux of this conversation was based around the problems that people are having with the coronavirus from the point of view of financially. You know people are not working, they're losing their livelihoods etc etc. Now, we've been very fortunate in that on the one hand, we've entirely lost our income, because our main business our the business that we'd really been focused on for the last little bit is UK open mic puts on open mic nights pumps will shut down overnight on March 23 all our open mic nights shut down that same day. And so we have no revenue coming in. So that's obviously not great but we've been very fortunate because we just happen to have been visiting my mother in law in Ischia when the Italian lockdown came in. So now we've still on Sq you're not allowed to leave the island. Still, but as a consequence where my mother in law's house, and this is the old family home that they've owned for generations. So there's no mortgage there's no rent to pay. So we don't have rent to pay so we lost our income, we don't have rent. We do have bills. You know we bought a car last set. Last October, our first car. So we took out a big loan for that, and we still have to pay that loan we still have our general living expenses, we still have credit cards to pay. So it's not that we don't have, you know, a fair amount of bills and with no income that's obviously a potential problem. And how did they how does this relate to limiting beliefs, so I was saying that it is a terrible situation but as long as people have got their health. Then, you know, money, you can always find again you can always rebuild. And she didn't think it was that simple. And I disagree i think it is that simple. However, I would agree with her that it's not easy. And this led into a conversation that she was saying, Well, you know, you find it easy and you know you're fortunate in your situation but other people, you know, might lose their houses and whatnot in their homes and and obviously that is a terrible situation, but I guarantee you there are going to be people out there who have got a more who are people who invest a lot of energy resources in their own growth, starting with their own mindset, and eventually that might manifest into starting their own business becoming an entrepreneur what not, it might manifest into doing what they do more effectively for their employer and increasing their, you know negotiating increased pay. There's all different ways that that could come through, but it starts with having the mindset of growth, it starts with having the idea that you could do better. Not externally in terms of, you could do better with your you know your money or whatnot internally in terms of, you could do better with your skills with your talents with whatever. And I was saying that you know you'll have people who have that kind of mindset and they might have a real financial kicking.
