To manifest millions, or even just to have some cash, we have to start with leadership. Not leadership in terms of politics, or even just directing other people, but self-leadership. In this week's episode, Dr. Venus lays out ways that we can set the container and create our own life instead of reacting to other people's thoughts, opinions, or even actions against us. She explains how our money is tied into our own self-leadership, and shares ways that we can take a stand for ourselves, become our own freedom fighter and create space inside of ourselves for money to manifest in big ways.
Key Takeaways:
[3:02] You are your first client, and your money is directly linked to your self-leadership. Many of us look externally for validation and direction, but instead, we should be going within for the answers and affirmations.
[4:45] Take a moment to think about where you have been swayed in life because you depended on someone else to lead you.
[6:40] Dr. Venus's money shifted when she got into a street fight with herself on her behalf and realized she had to lead herself rather than reacting to another.
[12:35] Even as a professor, she dealt with sadness from feeling the weight of the opinions of others, but realized that what other people thought wasn't the truth about her present or potential. Instead, it was just an illusion, and she was in charge of her next move.
[14:22] Outside approval isn't a reflection of who we are, and we don't have to dance with it. You don't have to dance as much with the economy, the President, the government, etc. when you are focused on making your own internal universe as strong as possible.
[16:38] If you do not energetically get on your side and take on the internal room to prosper, you will sabotage by overgiving, self-sacrificing, and making due.
[18:34]. We've all invested in things and people that didn't work out the way we hoped or expected. Instead of feeling down about it, realize there is a beautiful lesson to be learned and to use in the future.
