Get excited! It's a New Year, and we are in that space between where we used to be, to where we are going. Dr. Venus loves this because it is ripe with opportunity and the chance to get clear on what we need to do to level up and take better control of our destiny. If 2020 showed us anything, it was that it is more important than ever to make money by using your experience and lived knowledge rather than your time or be dependent on a location. This week, Dr. Venus talks about the very first step in creating a new market, becoming the author of your own life, and taking ownership of what it really means to manifest your millions.
Key Takeaways:
[4:54] When it comes to making money and wealth, you aren't behind. It may feel that way and looks like everyone else around you is more successful, but money is fluid and always going up and down. Instead of judging yourself and comparing yourself with others, just know you have certain gaps that you are in control of working on.
[6:57] Own what you are good at, and don't dwell on what you aren't. For Dr. Venus, you may never see her whipping up a four-course meal at home, but she knows she is a master when it comes to money and helping others make their millions.
[8:13] If you have low self-worth or confidence, you will see everything as a cost and potential liability. When you feel like you have to prove that you are worthy, you relate to yourself already in a deficit. Even if you have been sucker-punched or pimp slapped by life, you can learn to feel confident about what you bring to the table.
[11:29] YOU are the investment. Bet on yourself, not the stock market, economy, or politics. Have faith that you will do what it takes to close the gaps between having no business and a million-dollar business. Unless you are willing to go the extra mile and put in the work, you are invested in a hope.
[16:29] There is a difference between having someone coach you, and asking for help so someone can do the work for you. Stop looking for help outside of you, the answers are within. You just first have to become accountable for your own life, and ultimately your own success.
[18:32] Before you create a new market, you need to become the author of your own life.
[19:59] Are you clear on the reality of what it takes to be a millionaire? Have you studied, researched, learned, asked questions, and really looked at what in your life is holding you back?
[22:07] Even if we are experts in one area, there is always more to learn in another. That is brave. Dr. Venus may be a savage when it comes to writing and is a best-selling author, but she is now closing the gaps on learning to write for television. She may be a baby at it now, but she won't stop until she masters it. She invested in great resources, takes the time to hone her craft, and knows that the difference between no show and an Emmy winning hit is putting in the work.
[23:37] Creating a new market is taking your pain and turning it into a space where you are a category of one. You aren't just the best, but you are also the only.
[26:44] You have to tell the truth about what keeps you stuck, sick, and small in a mediocre life.
[28:13] This world needs you and you are valuable. If you want to be a new market, the real work is to take on healing.
