[00:00:00] Hello and welcome to Tools to Create a Better Life with myself, Glenyce Hughes. Thank you so much for being here. I am so incredibly grateful for each and every one of you.

[00:00:12] Magic with Revenue and Creation Streams. Yes. Now, you may never have heard of creation streams before, so we will get there. But first I do want to talk about revenue streams.

[00:00:27] This is from the Business Done Different Manual, one of the classes from Joy of Business. I recently became a Certified Facilitator with it and it is one of my revenue streams. How the heck did I get so lucky?

There’s a whole section about revenue streams and creation streams, and a whole bunch of clearings. I am not going to go through them all on this show.

[00:00:51] Get your butt to a Business Done Different class! Come on over. I would love to have you. I have one coming up on October 28th, 29th, and 30th. You can either join us in London, England in person, or you can join us online. Either way, I would love to share these magical tools with you.

[00:01:09] So, revenue streams. I just want to read from the manual about this. Simone says:

“What is a revenue stream? Is each project class, product, service a revenue stream? Yes, and it’s not just how much money you receive. Revenue streams are also the contacts you create, the energy, the consciousness that’s created with a project or a class. What does your product or service create in someone else’s life? Is that a revenue stream?”

[00:01:39] It really is about not limiting what a revenue stream is and looking at how many revenue streams you have that maybe you haven’t even acknowledged.

[00:01:49] I was listening to a call with Christopher Hughes. No relation, although we are both from Saskatchewan, Canada. He was talking on there about your mortgage being a revenue stream, and I’d never considered that before and just went, “Whoa.” Totally. Totally!

So, how many revenue streams do you have that you’ve never acknowledged? Right, wrong, good, bad, all-9, POD, POC, shorts, boys, POVADs, and beyonds.®

[00:02:18] If you are new here, these tools are from Access Consciousness®. The Joy of Business is from Access Consciousness®. That thing I just said, those crazy words together, is called the Access Consciousness® Clearing Statement. You can go to www.theclearingstatement.com for more information about how it works.

But basically, as we talk about things like this and things get clunky and weird and all that, we run that and it starts to clear it so that we have more choice, we have more awareness, we have more possibilities, which is really what we’re asking for.

[00:02:49] Now, I do want to run this clearing ’cause I love it.

How many random revenue streams are waiting for you to say “yes, please”, and you’re refusing to say “yes, please” because you’ve decided it needs to be hard work?

Everything that is, will you destroy and uncreate it all times a godzillion? Right, wrong, good, bad, all-9, POD, POC, shorts, boys, POVADs, and beyonds.®

[00:03:14] What if it doesn’t have to be? Look at your mortgage if you have a mortgage. If you don’t, that’s fine. But look at something that you do know is a revenue stream and one that maybe isn’t hard work. My mortgage is not hard work. It’s just something that we pay every month, twice a month actually – we pay biweekly, and have done for years and years and years. How does that get any better than that?

[00:03:39] Now, I also have been cognitively, consciously choosing towards more and more and more revenue streams.

[00:03:47] A few years ago, I created these cups. Well, actually, I can’t say I did. The magician that works in my business, Ericka is her name, she’s amazing. I gave her the words and she did the design. And then, I put it on with a company online. Basically, people can just go and order and I don’t do anything except enjoy the money that comes in other than, you know, what we did at the beginning.

[00:04:16] This is a revenue stream. Something that took some work to begin with to get it set up, to figure out the words, make sure I wasn’t copyrighting anybody’s stuff and then, Ericka putting it together and designing it, and then finding the company that was, you know, to work with and all of that. Now, it just continuously generates money. How the heck does it get any better than that?

[00:04:43] Now, I don’t have just one cup on there. There’s multiple cups. Some cups haven’t generated any money whatsoever. Nobody’s purchased them. Some like this one, there’s been many purchases of, probably because it’s so fun to say. None of that’s relevant.

[00:04:59] It’s not like I have to have the money come in from these cups or from even this book. I have spoke about it before. I will continue to speak about it. It’s called the Rocketbook Fusion. We’ll put a link above or below. This is a revenue stream for me. The link that I share is something called an “affiliate link”, meaning that I get a percentage when people use my link to purchase this book.

[00:05:26] Now, here’s the thing with me. I can’t sell what I don’t love. Now, that’s an interesting point of view that’s there’s things I could do with that and it actually works for me. I’m okay. I don’t desire to share a bunch of things that I don’t love. I have enough things that I love to share that work for me.

[00:05:46] This book I recently got, and I have probably saved a thousand trees. Okay, that might be an exaggeration, but I’m a writer. I’m constantly jotting things down. Before, I just always had paper and I would jot down, and then when I was done with it, I’d usually fold it over and use it as much as I could, but it would always get burnt. We burn our paper here at the acreage.

[00:06:08] This book, literally, guys, I have my action list. I write it down. I scratch out as I do it. Then when I want to start a new one, ’cause I like things looking fresh, I just go to a different page. I start it and then I can wipe this off with a little bit of water in the cloth. I love this. I have recently ordered the markers or the colored pens that goes with it. So, just another revenue stream.

[00:06:36] How many revenue streams could you add? What else is asking for you? What else is saying, you know, “Come on over, I’d love to generate you some money. I’d love to actualize some money”? Yeah. Yeah. I know, right?

[00:06:52] There was another one in here. Here’s the other one I wanted to run.

What energy, space, consciousness, and choice can you and your body be that would allow you to be the revenue creations beyond anything you’ve ever imagined? Anything that doesn’t allow that, will you destroy and uncreate it all times a godzillion? Right, wrong, good, bad, all-9, POD, POC, shorts, boys, POVADs, and beyonds.®

[00:07:17] Imagine being the revenue streams, creating beyond what you never imagine possible. Start asking every day. If this is something you would like more of, start asking every day: What revenue streams could I add?

[00:07:31] I usually ask the universe. Universe, can you bring me profitable revenue streams today that would be fun for me?

[00:07:41] One, I’m really only interested in profitable revenue streams for the most part—we’ll talk about another aspect to that in a moment—and that are fun for me. If they aren’t fun for me, I won’t do them. This is one thing I know about myself.

[00:07:55] With that, let’s actually talk about creation stream. This is the other section in the manual.

“Revenue streams make you money. Creation streams may be contributing something else. Some projects don’t create money, but they maybe increase consciousness in the world and are therefore valued. When you have a creation stream, ask: What revenue stream can support this creation?”

[00:08:25] When I very first started traveling around the world with the classes that I was facilitating and such, there were a lot of those classes that were creation streams. They were not revenue streams. By the time we paid for the expenses of the travel and all the pieces, it didn’t generate money.

[00:08:45] There wasn’t money at the end of it, and there were so much creation as part of it. There were people then that became a part of my world that maybe assisted with other classes, or maybe they joined other classes of mine and such, so they were creation streams.

[00:09:00] Now, I didn’t do a very good job of asking what revenue stream can support this creation. However, on some level I was asking that because what I do and still do to this day, although for the past couple years I haven’t traveled nearly as much—well, barely traveled, let’s say, although that’s changing.

[00:09:19] Come and play somewhere in England. We’ve got the Tour of England going on. You’ll find a link above or below, and other creations in the works like Dubai, Florida, Arizona, Las Vegas, France, and all the other places. Things are in the works.

[00:09:37] What I did, without even really realizing it or not necessarily on purpose, was that I created an online business that was more of the revenue stream that supported the creation streams that were the classes that didn’t balance out at the end of the money but did create so much more.

[00:09:59] And then in the last section of that, it says, “When you start looking at that,” so in terms of what creation streams, what revenue streams can support these creation streams, “it’ll show up and it allows you to be more present with the finances. You don’t create based on the finances, but be present with them.”

[00:10:17] If I would’ve looked at those classes, let’s say, and said, “Okay, well, in order to make that class work financially—to pay for our travel, to pay for my time, to pay for the hosts, all that—I would need $20,000 from that class.” let’s say I only had enough people registered for 10,000. If I was doing it from this reality, I’d say, “Oh, well then, no, we will cancel the class.”

[00:10:44] We don’t ever want to look at it from that. I don’t mean we don’t ever want to cancel classes. Absolutelythere’s going to be times or maybe times where that will create greater, but you don’t want to do it from that energy.

[00:10:55] I recently had a creation team meeting with all the hosts for England and they ask the usual question of, “Okay, well how many people do you need in each class?” I’ve tried that. I’ve tried that. I just don’t find it works, and I wonder, I wonder what else is possible.

[00:11:17] If that works for you and your business, please keep doing it. It isn’t about changing it, but it is about looking at what would I like to create here? Some of the things that we put into the world are not about creating money from it, and many will be and some won’t be. This is where this question – what revenue stream can I support with this creation?

[00:11:39] It’s a totally different take on it. It gets you out of the logic of business, or the right way to do business, or the wrong way to do business, you know?

[00:11:48] Luckily, I was just having so much fun back then with all the travel and all of that it was creating. There was a lot of money being created just in different ways. But if I’d had done it—if I had sat down with an accountant probably that doesn’t know this stuff, they probably would’ve told me, “Don’t travel anymore. What are you doing? Stay at home. Look at all the money, the profit, from this” and… what if? What if it’s okay?

[00:12:11] And also, what if it’s okay when I travel and in those classes, it does, you know, also generate a lot of money, and then the online stuff also generates a lot of money? I mean, what if there was no limitation? It really is about inviting you to look at something different, inviting you to a different possibility with all of this. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:12:32] Now, if you are interested, I have a free gift for you. It is called the Ultimate Confidence in Business Guidebook. I share five different weird tools, of course, that will allow you to be the confidence in your business and really create profit so that you can be the profit, you can be the revenue streams, and you can really recognize and acknowledgize all of the creation streams and revenue streams that are there. Go and check that out. Link is above or below. If you don’t see it, reach out and I will get it.

[00:13:07] I wonder how many creation and revenue streams you can add today that you’ve never even considered? Thank you so much for being here, guys. I look forward to chatting again next week.

Choice and Choosing

Choice and Choosing

What will YOU choose?

We have always been taught to be careful when making decisions, because it can either make us or break us. What if instead of “deciding” things, we can start “choosing” to better find what works for us? Choose, receive the awareness, and choose again. Imagine the possibilities that opens up… how AWEsome is that?!

They are sent out each week to everyone on my mailing list!

[00:00:00] Hello and welcome to Tools to Create a Better Life with myself, Glenyce Hughes. Thank you so much for being here. I am so incredibly grateful for each and every one of you. This week, we’re gonna talk about choosing. Choosing and choice, and choosing.

[00:00:20] Yes, this is a Grinch tuque because I love it. If you can see in the background, there is Hubby and our sweet friend, Lexi. We have been playing with choice and choosing more than ever before, and one of the things that we’ve been choosing is something called “Trusted House Sitters,” which is basically a site where you can go and you can apply to do house and animal sitting around the world.

[00:00:52] We’d talked about it for years prior to Totty, our sweet kitty, passing away in September of 2022 as something we would do when she was no longer with us. We never guessed she would be gone so quickly. We actually started in England. We did one house sit – we had a dog and a cat, and chickens and ducks.

[00:01:19] This is our second one. We’re here in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada and having so much fun with sweet Lexi. She is such a beautiful dog and so playful. Thankfully, the weather has been quite mild here so we’ve been able to enjoy her outside. Even though it might look like Hubby is being mean to her, she loves getting snow kicked out to her and catching it in her mouth. So, there you go.

[00:01:43] We are talking all about choice and choosing. It’s one of the things that I actually talk about a lot because choosing and choice is such a big part of us creating our dreams come true.

[00:01:58] When we first had the chance to look at this as a reality, as a possibility like traveling the world, just trying out different houses in different places with sweet animals to love, it was just from that energy of “I wonder what that would be like…,” not “This is the way it has to be,” “This is what we have to choose,” but like, “I wonder… I wonder if we would like it.” We talked about actually selling our beautiful home and doing it full time.

[00:02:32] In this 10 seconds, that’s what we’re continuously choosing towards with the awareness that choice is good for 10 seconds.

[00:02:43] We’re down here in Lethbridge. It’s about a five-hour drive from our house. Of course, we did one in England which is impossible to drive to, you know, being a flight away. We’ve got another one set up in Calgary in December and Edmonton near the end of November. We’re trying it out. It’s like when you choose, you can try your choice out. This is what it’s like. We get to try it out and so far, we are loving it.

[00:03:10] We’re also receiving so much awareness by choosing it. We know that although we love dogs and we love playing with dogs, we know we don’t want a lot of time with dogs. If you’ve never had the difference between a dog and a cat, our experience is dogs require a lot more like walks outside and all the things.

[00:03:35] Some people might disagree. Of course, if they’re dog people and they don’t like cats, that’s different, of course. But for us, we love all animals and our awareness is dogs are a lot more work. We will certainly say yes to dog sits when it feels yummy to do so, and probably for the longer ones, say months or two months or maybe even three months, probably not going to be for dogs. Who knows? Whatever. But again, it’s this choice. We get to choose, and we get to choose, and we get to choose again.

[00:04:06] This truly is something that you wanna look at in your life because often what we’re taught is that… no, we’re actually usually not even taught about choice. What we’re taught about is decisions. We make a decision. We say, “In the spring, we’re gonna sell our house and travel the world, doing house and pet sitting full-time along with me, of course, continuing with my business full-time, and that’s the way it is.” That’s a decision, and you don’t receive much in that decision. In fact, you don’t really receive anything. But if you’re choosing it and then you’re receiving the awareness, then you get to choose again.

[00:04:43] This isn’t about anything to do with what we’ve been doing so far. We don’t need to have any other choices to know. We would actually prefer to do this in the tropic somewhere, in the Canadian winter. We’re here right now so of course, we’re choosing it locally. We are enjoying winter, which is why I bought a fun little tuque.

[00:05:01] However, what we’re looking for for January, February, March is actually Arizona, Florida, Tennessee, California, those places so that we can enjoy the weather, too. Of course, if you know me at all, you know I’m also looking at places that have pools.

[00:05:19] This is just a really fun way to talk about choice, to really get you to recognize that you get to choose and you get to choose again, and you get to receive the awareness and then you get to choose again, and you get to choose again and you get to choose again, and awareness and choose and awareness.

[00:05:34] Maybe by spring, we’ll be like, “No, we’re not interested. We wanna be at home and get some more cats of our own.” Who knows? Anything is truly possible and the first step is making a choice.

[00:05:47] Now, some choices you can do like we are and get little baby pieces of it, so to speak. We get to try it out, see if it works. Some choices aren’t like that. Some choices, maybe you just energetically choose.

[00:06:00] This is what I’ve been telling some clients this week. Hey, for tomorrow, just live the day as if you chose A and then the next day, live as though you chose B. When we spend a few hours as though we’ve chose something, we’ll also start to get a sense of if it is actually for us or not. It’s just a different way of being on the planet, a different way of trying on choices like you would try on clothes just to give yourself a sense.

[00:06:30] The other thing that I think is so important for every one of us to know and to remember is it never shows up the way you think it will. It never shows up the way you think it will.

[00:06:40] If you hold on really tight to “I’m doing this and this is the way it’s going to be, and this is how it’s gonna turn out and this is what it’s gonna look like,” it’s not gonna be very fun for you. But if it’s like, “This feels fun. This feels cool. I’m gonna choose towards that,” then what else could you receive? What other way could it turn out? How could it turn out better than what you could expect?

00:07:04] I’ve got some coaching going on right now. I’ve called the program Beyond What You Desire Coaching. We all have an idea of what we would like. I shouldn’t say that – that’s not true. Sometimes, we have an idea of what we would like or we have some idea of energies of what we would like.

[00:07:21] However… there’s some dogs barking. I must check. It’s all good. Hubby’s got it.

[00:07:27] When we have that, we go into that space of what we would like. And then if we do it from the energy of what else is possible, guess what? Everything beyond what we desire gets to show up. What if we lived our lives beyond what we desire?

[00:07:51] I had maxed out at 24 at the Beyond What You Desire Coaching. I was doing a beta program. I’m actually expanding that. There’s a link above or below if you would like more information, or maybe you looked at it before and you’re kicking yourself that you didn’t get in. There’s more details about it now, guys, so go and check it out. I would love to have you come play.

[00:08:11] I wonder if you were willing to choose and choose and choose, and be maybe even judged as flighty or somebody who just is always changing their mind or whatever it is that you’ve used to stop you before, what could you create if you are willing just to choose and mess it up and receive awareness, and choose and choose and choose and choose again… I wonder how much magic you could create in your life, in your living, my sweet friend.

[00:08:41] Have a wonderful week and I look forward to chatting again next week.

How Lies Kill Your Possibilities

How Lies Kill Your Possibilities

Are you being honest with yourself?

I used to live my life in lies – the kind where I choose not to be aware of what is actually happening around me just so I could go on believing that everything is perfect the way it is when in reality, there’s a lot more that I could be creating. Sound familiar? Tune in to this episode to know more about how lies kill your possibilities and how you can start getting honest with yourself!

[00:00:00] Hello and welcome to Tools to Create a Better Life with myself, Glenyce Hughes. Thank you so much for being here. I am so incredibly grateful for you.

[00:00:11] How lies are killing your possibilities. This is a topic that I couldn’t have spoken about 10 years ago. I lived my life in lies, and I don’t mean the lies that I’m six feet tall when I’m not even barely five foot one. Not those lies, but the lies where we don’t choose to be aware of what is actually going on. What is actually being created, what is actually turning out or happening in that sense.

[00:00:48] What I mean is if something is going on.. Let’s say, I’ll use weight for example. There’s been times where I’ve lost some weight, and then I stopped getting on the scale so that I didn’t have to be aware when I was gaining the weight back. It’s not right or wrong, it’s just a choice that I know that I have made countless times in the past. This is something that I would often do to myself to ensure that I could stay in the lie.

[00:01:22] Even from a business standpoint, this is where data can be really great because you can actually start to be aware of things that you maybe wouldn’t otherwise be aware if you weren’t tracking them.

[00:01:37] If you have, like, the size of your email list, from a business standpoint, if you’d like to be increasing that, that’s great. You just might wanna track it so you know which way it’s going. Maybe you do something: maybe you do a free opt-in, which means people give you their email address and they get a free audio download, let’s say.

[00:02:01] If you track how many people come in on that, and then, let’s say a month later you do something else where they get a PDF handout instead, then you can look at those two and go, “Okay, well, the PDF handout really seemed to bring in two or three times more compared to the audio download.” It gives you information.

[00:02:21] This is what I’m talking about. When we lie to ourselves, it kills possibilities. I don’t mean you have to track everything. I do. I love tracking. You guys know that. If you’ve been around for a while, I love tracking things. It keeps me present and aware, but you don’t have to.

[00:02:40] What you do wanna look at is [if] what you’re telling yourself [is] really true. For a lot of businesses—I work with a lot of people in business, obviously. There’s been a lot of change in their businesses. Even for myself, what I have seen is the quicker we come out and become aware of that, the quicker we let ourselves know that, the quicker that we can then become aware of the possibilities and what else we might like to choose, what else we could change, what else is possible.

[00:03:16] It doesn’t mean that there’s a story attached. We don’t have to say, “There’s a recession and nobody’s buying my stuff.” Not that, but recognize. A year ago when I had that similar class, there was 200 people, and this year there was 100 people. We get curious: Okay, what is that?

[00:03:37] The thing that I look at for myself with a lot of that, and this kind of sounds funny, is I look at, is it still fun for me? Because we can get into this idea that once it works, we should just keep doing it. What if that’s not the case?

[00:04:00] For me, I know that my business thrives when I’m having fun. I know that. If I love what I’m doing, what I’m choosing, what I’m creating, my business will thrive. So that’s usually the first thing I look at when something changes. Am I still having fun with this? Do I still enjoy this? Would I like to continue with this? I look at that.

[00:04:20] If those are Yeses, then okay, so then what else? There might be limiting beliefs or limiting points of views in there to clear. It might be something like that. It might also be that something else has changed, so then you just get curious and you look at it. You look at what’s required to change it so that you’re not in the fantasy of, “Oh no, everything’s the same.”

[00:04:47] This is why I talk about the tracking, because that tracking becomes a part of the information. I took a class last week and as many of you know, I’m starting up a Shopify shop. It should be ready. I’m so excited for February 1st, 2023. And so I took a class last week about setting it up and all the pieces.

[00:05:15] She does this level of data collection that I’ve never seen before. I mean, Wow. I was so inspired. What it really showed me was that she would know something is changing within a week of it changing. That is how thorough her data is.

[00:05:41] This is more from a shop perspective and the sales that are coming in, but not just the sales that are coming in. What’s the email that was sent out to about that? How many clicks? How many purchase? All the pieces that when she would like to go and send another email about that similar product, she can go and look at her data and see which one worked. There’s just so many pieces to it.

[00:06:08] A lot of that is form and structure. Yes. We want to add the form and the structure. As I often call it, “add the logic with the woo.” I do both. I don’t do the data to the degree she does, and I’m going to with my shop, absolutely, because I can really see the value of it. I can really see how much quicker things can be.

[00:06:30] However, with the question, with the woo in there, with following the energy, the lightness, and really merging them together even more so that we’re not in the fantasy.

[00:06:43] Let’s be honest, usually the fantasy is that either everything’s perfect the way it is if it isn’t, and also if it isn’t, then the fantasy usually is, “I’m wrong and I’m bad. It’s not working because I’m wrong and I’m bad.”

[00:07:01] No. It could just be it’s time to change something. In my case, it couldn’t be just that it’s not fun anymore, so it’s time to change something instead of it being like some personal like I’m wrong and bad and that’s why it changed. No, it’s probably I’m just not having fun anymore. As soon as that fun changes for me, man, I show myself very quickly.

[00:07:23] Look at that in your own life and be willing to be honest with you about one, if you’re having fun with whatever it is, but also the awareness.

[00:07:34] This is where, again, the tracking, and I’ve talked a lot about tracking money. I track the money that comes in, I track the money that goes out. I have a very clear awareness of our money so that I can also be aware of when things like that start to shift and change so that I’m not shocked.

[00:07:53] I do that because I used to not. I used to live, I used to call it “my head up my ass.” In fact, we have a radio show called “Get Your Head Out of Your Ass” about this back from May 2014. I remember that clearly because it was when I actually chose to get clear about my money so that I wasn’t shocked anymore. I wasn’t shocked when this huge credit card bill would come in and be like, “What? How did that happen? How did that happen?” No, no. Now, I’m aware of it all. I’m tracking it.

[00:08:25] The level of space and peace by tracking things, for me anyway, it’s huge. You may not enjoy starting, getting it started, or setting it up or whatever, but just recognize that if it’s something that you are living in the lies or living in the fantasies of things being the way they aren’t, check in with yourself as to maybe there’s way more possibilities when you’re willing to be aware of what it is, whatever it is.

[00:09:01] I’ve talked about money, business, and weight. You can use it on anything. Again, you don’t have to track it. You just wanna be aware of what’s required to stay aware of it and present with it. For me, that’s tracking.

[00:09:18] Anyway, just wanted to share that with you in case it’s something you’ve been looking at, especially in January. We’re in January of 2023 at this time of recording. A lot of times people are looking at their last year and they’re going into the wrongness of themself and it’s like, no. Just look at what is, get present with. How are you gonna stay aware of it? How are you gonna stay present with it? And then what’s required? What would you like it to be like? Merge the logic with the woo, my sweet friends. Merge them. Yes.

[00:09:47] If you are in business and you would like to join us, I have a training coming up on January 31st, and it will be available in the shop once it is complete about “How to Get Paid to Create Your Product.” Yes, and there’s lots of different pieces to it. There’ll be a link above or below. You can check it out.

[00:10:09] Of course, we have the 5-week “Beyond What You Desire” Coaching with me. I would love to coach you, my sweet friends. That link again is above or below. Have a great week and I look forward to chatting again next week.

They are sent out each week to everyone on my mailing list!

[00:00:00] I’ve been in business over 20 years, and there is one mistake that I have made. I would actually call it my biggest mistake in business, and I’ve made it way more than just once.

[00:00:13] Welcome to Tools to Create a Better Life with myself, Glenyce Hughes. Thank you so much for being here. I am so incredibly grateful for each and every one of you.

[00:00:23] This is an intro to my upcoming Business Success Training Series. We have five different trainings. You can choose one, you can choose a few, or you can choose all of them. If you were to choose all five of them, you also get a 15-minute session with me.

[00:00:40] So, the five different trainings. There’s one on turning strangers into clients. There is one on increasing the sales. There’s one on creating content. There’s one on repurposing that created content. There’s one on creating affiliates in your business, but also being an affiliate for other people.

[00:01:01] Again, there’s five different ones. Choose one, choose a few, or choose them all and get the extra bonus. You can find the information above or below. If you don’t see it, reach out and I’ll get it to you. If you’re listening to this via podcast, it is all in the show notes or of course, in an email from me, or reach out and I’ll get it to you.

[00:01:17] So, the biggest mistake that I have made in business over and over and over. Yeah, I know. Maybe you’re doing this, too. It’s gifting content — gifting goodies, whatever you want to call it — without asking for something in return.

[00:01:40] Meaning if I have an audio — let’s say, a clearing loop that I would like to gift somebody, a group of people, or all you listeners — in the past, what I would do is say, “Here’s the Dropbox link. Go and grab it!”

[00:01:58] Now, that’s very kind of me. However, guys, when we are doing business, when we are in business, when we are running a business, please, run a business! Please, which means you still give that gift, but you actually request something in return.

[00:02:18] What we call it is “opt-ins” where we opt in. Now, if I’m going to gift you a clearing loop, I’m going to send you to a page where you opt in, meaning you put your email address and your name, and then you’ll get into my email system and it will send you an email with the gift.

[00:02:36] Now, you don’t have to do it. I call it my biggest mistake because it truly did limit what was actually possible with regards to growing my list.

[00:02:46] What a lot of people don’t recognize in business and unfortunately, a lot of people don’t recognize it until they go through this is that all your social media stuff isn’t yours. Facebook can close your account tomorrow. It can close it in the next moment with no explanation, with nobody to talk to to get it back there. WhatsApp, TikTok, or any of the social media platforms that we all use and love, they can go away. The only thing that you actually have, I’m gonna say control over is your email list. That’s it.

[00:03:26] All the years, I was just gifting and gifting and gifting and gifting. Great, except for what might have been created had I been gifting and receiving — yes, it’s a two-way street, guys. It really is.

[00:03:44] I would say, for myself, the energy behind not having opt-ins and all of that was more from actually two things: (1) I didn’t know how to do it, and (2) it was really a valuing of me thing. It was really that I didn’t really value me so I just wanted to give away, give away, give away, hoping that somebody liked it rather than valuing me, valuing the time it took to put together the gift it was, the gift I be, and asking for something in return.

[00:04:18] In lots of cases in business, the ask in return is money. It’s different than what I’m talking about right now, which is opt-ins, but a lot of it is. “Here, I will give you this if you pay this,” and that’s the gifting and receiving. With what I’m talking about here, it’s the free content we’re putting out there.

[00:04:36] You could even say that with this radio show. I’ve never really seen my radio show as something that people would need to opt in for. That would be very difficult. I wouldn’t be able to have it on all the platforms like Spotify, iTunes, and all the places it is. I couldn’t have that if people needed to opt in for it.

[00:04:57] What I do a lot on this show is I either talk about my offers that I have coming up like I did at the beginning of this show, or I have a gift that people require to go opt in. That’s really the energy behind it is really that gifting and receiving.

[00:05:14] There’s lots of people that listen to the show that I’ve never had on my email list and probably never will, and that’s not right or wrong. I don’t sit back and go, “I’m gonna stop the show.” It’s not that. It’s never from this reality of giving and taking where I have to give this and then I will take there email address, or they have to give me their email address so they can take it. It’s not that. It truly, to me, is a gifting and a receiving, and in that gifting and receiving is something, as I’m gonna say, logical as an opt-in.

[00:05:49] If you’re like me and you didn’t know what an opt-in is or how to create one, there’s so many things out there nowadays that make it so much easier. I have recently switched from Infusionsoft. I used that for years and years and years and years, and I switched to something called ConvertKit.

[00:06:06] ConvertKit makes it so easy. They have landing pages. They have the opt-in forms. You simply design it, put it out in the world, and then it collects, and then you can email from there. Infusionsoft had the same, and there’s so many out there. I don’t even know all of the different platforms out there that have these things, but there’s so many so it’s very, very easy now to do that.

[00:06:31] This is where you want to look at if you’re not doing that. If you’re just consistently giving away free content, is it possibly time to change that because what is it you’re gifting it for?

[00:06:46] You could say you’re gifting it to be nice, and so people have the thing and they can change their life with the thing or they can do whatever with the thing. You can, totally. Totally. That’s awesome, except then you’re probably not in a business. Ouch! I don’t mean to judge that as you are or you aren’t. If you have opt-ins, you are. If you don’t, you’re not. I don’t mean it like that.

[00:07:06] But really, recognize that when you are gifting goodies, whatever goodies they may be, whether they’re audio downloads, video downloads, patterns, templates, or whatever, what is it that you would like in gifting that? If it’s just gifted away so people utilize it, cool. That’s awesome. Nothing wrong with that. It just won’t grow your business in the way that it could.

[00:07:33] That’s when I talk about the biggest mistake I made when I look at that. I probably didn’t start using opt-ins honestly until, oh boy… I bet it would be 2015, 2016. I know, right? Remember I showed up my business in 2002?

[00:07:50] For a few of those years, opt-ins weren’t even really a thing. If they were, they were so much more difficult to create because we didn’t have the different platforms that we have now. But even in 2010 and on, I could have easily been. When I started using Infusionsoft back in, I think 2013 or 2014, I could have very easily been, but I didn’t. There was this, “Oh my gosh, I should just give it away for free.”

[00:08:14] I believe it was last year or the year before. Let’s say 2021. I did this whole beautiful Magical Money Tricks or something and there’s a video. It’s a beautiful opt-in. People did have to opt in for it, but it didn’t go anywhere, meaning they got the email with the gift and that was it.

[00:08:38] This is the other part with opt-ins, guys. Yes, create an opt-in, something that lights you up, but also make sure it invites people to something else with you. There’s different pieces with that. If this is a brand new concept to you, at least get your opt-ins. Please, get your opt-ins.

[00:08:56] If you’re not familiar and you would like more, that is the very first class we’re doing in the Business Success Trainings. It’s really working with opt-ins and the funnels, the sequences behind them, the emails that go out. Once they get the free thing, then what do they get, then what do they get, then what do they get, whatever that might look like, because there’s more to it than just gifting free things and hoping somebody comes to your class or somebody buys your thing.

[00:09:21] There’s so much more to it. I don’t mean more in terms of form and structure like, you do this and you send out this email after two days and you send this. It’s not that. It’s a totally different spaciousness with the stuff that works.

[00:09:35] I will tell you — opt-ins work. Yes. There will be people that opt in, get the free thing and opt out right away. That’s totally cool. They’re not your people anyway. They’re just people that want to take. Nothing wrong with that, but that’s what they’re doing. Cool. The other people though, it becomes an invitation.

[00:09:52] They might watch my video about the money tricks. We’ll put a link above or below if you didn’t grab it when it came out a couple years ago. It’s still brilliant. Now, it actually leads to my upcoming Foundation classes, Bars and Foundation. I got one in Nova Scotia. Oh my gosh, guys. It’s at the end of May. And then of course, the Pool Party. The final Pool Party Bars and Foundation in June.

[00:10:14] The link for that will be above or below also, but that is where it leads right now. People opt in there, they get an invitation to these upcoming classes, and then there’s a couple of follow up emails with that.

[00:10:27] It really is looking… it’s kind of working backwards, actually. You look at what you would you like to invite people to and work backwards.

[00:10:38] I’d like to invite people to Foundation. In my case, I have so many free things out there. I have so many, and they’re all been changed to opt-ins so that’s exciting. Over the years, I have done that so I don’t necessarily have to make a new thing. You might have to, that’s totally cool, too. The class will assist with how to choose that. But then you work backwards in terms of, “Here’s what I’d like to invite people to. What’s the invitation to that?”

[00:11:03] In my case with a Foundation, that’s pretty simple because in Foundation we talk about a lot of things, money being one of them. I share lots of money tools in it. Looking at all my free opt-ins, this money tool one made the most sense. Yes. So, working backwards. If I didn’t have it, then I could have created it and it can be anything.

[00:11:22] Now, just a little tip for those of you who are at this stage in your business. I do a little bit longer ones. However, really the ones that have the best opens and utilizations are PDFs.

[00:11:39] I know. It’s weird because you think that, or at least I think, that something like a video would have more. But the studies are, and again, this is logical but it doesn’t have to be, but the studies are for a lot of people, they want a quick win. They wanna open up the email, open up the PDF, get whatever from it, and then carry on.

[00:12:00] It doesn’t have to be where you record a video and you do a bunch of editing and all of that. It can be a simple PDF that maybe has a pretty picture on it and whatever the information is, and that’s it. It doesn’t have to be difficult. But really, start looking at all of this. If you’re like I was and you’re just giving a bunch of stuff away for free, then start looking. One, what is that for you?

[00:12:26] And if it’s time, maybe get an opt-in in place. Maybe get something like ConvertKit. Again, I speak very highly of it. I’m actually fairly new to it because again, I was with Infusionsoft for years, but ConverKit is incredible. Incredible. I’m switching over completely from Infusionsoft to ConvertKit because of how much I love it and how much more easy it is to actually use. So, something like that where you can have the landing page.

[00:12:55] You don’t need a whole webpage of your own, which is great if you have that. I have that, of course. I’ve had it for years. But you wouldn’t have to. ConvertKit would give you that landing page. It would give you the opt-in form so then when people say yes to it, now you’ve got a place where you can set up the emails. It has the download or the download link or whatever it is.

[00:13:14] It’s just so incredible what magic can be created with a little bit of planning, I’m gonna say? That could also be part of, for me, why I didn’t do it for years. I just love creating content. You know that. If you’ve been around here for any time, you know I love creating content. Why? Because I do it all the time. I do it all the time.

[00:13:39] But you really want to look at where would you like to be sending people. What’s the call to action? That’s an official term. What’s the call to action in that?

[00:13:47] I have done, I would say, really well with my radio shows over the years. Podcasts, whatever you call them. And then in the past few years, we changed them, not changed them, we added video to them so they’re in more places. I would say I, 95% of the time, have a call to action.

[00:14:02] This one, of course, is the Business Success Trainings or Foundation. But pretty much every show I do has a call to action in it so people don’t need to opt in to listen to the show, but there’s other information that I have. I’m inviting people to something. Looking at that with what you’re creating and what is it you’d like to be, it’s inviting people too and start working backwards.

[00:14:25] I would love to invite you to come and play in the Business Success Trainings. Guys, this is all very, very hands-on, very let’s-get-it-done, very much let’s create the business success that your business is asking for. Yes. All right.

[00:14:44] Have a great week and I look forward to chatting again next week.

[00:00:00] A weird tool to transform your body. Welcome to Tools to Create a Better Life with myself, Glenyce Hughes. Thank you so much for being here. I am so incredibly grateful for each and every one of you.

[00:00:14] Yeah, a weird tool. Now, you guys know if you’ve been around here for a while, I share weird tools all the time. This tool is also weird. Maybe even the weirdest. No, I’ve actually talked about this tool before in lots of different ways because this tool you can utilize in so many different ways, not just transforming your body.

[00:00:34] Now, I would like to invite you to a $10 Clearing the Presumptive Realities and Needs of Reactive Realities of Transforming Your Body. Yes. The link is above or below. If you don’t see a link, reach out and I will get it to you.

[00:00:51] The tool is to acknowledgize, which isn’t really a word, but it is. To acknowledgize how much you have already transformed your body.

[00:01:02] For myself, I have transformed my body continuously. It’s just that I really have only saw it as transforming my body when I was getting smaller, and I was wrong and horrible and bad when I was getting bigger.

[00:01:20] It’s really recognizing that every time our body changes, we’re transforming it. It’s really working more consciously with what we would like to choose, with what we would like to actually transform it as.

[00:01:36] Not even just what we would like, but our bodies are a co-creation. They’re something that with us. Being, as I call, a Bossy Bosserson with our body isn’t going to create much. Maybe more struggle, but actually communing with your body and involving your body and saying, “Hey, body, what would you like to look like?” because this isn’t something that is just what I would like her to look like. She’s what she looks like, so I get to give her a voice. I get to ask her, “Hey, body, what would you like to look like?”

[00:02:15] In fact, the very first time I did this, it was my very first Foundation class that I attended back in September of 2011. The facilitator shared with us how to do this which was very simple: go out to a public place, sit there, and ask your body to show you what she would like to look like, and so I did. I went to a restaurant and I just asked my body to show me.

[00:02:36] I had really big conclusions that that would be a size 2 or a size 4. I’m very short. I know I don’t look like it on radio or on tv, but I’m about 5 feet tall. If you look at the height list and weight list at the doctor’s office, you’re supposed to be about 110 pounds at this height, so I kind of always had this idea. It’d be like a size 4 or size 6 or something like that if I was the right weight. And so I kept waiting for a body to walk in that looked like what I had concluded my body would be interested in looking like.

[00:03:12] As I was sitting there and I was like, “Body, show me. Body, show me,” this woman came in and she was probably a size 14 and my body just got so excited. There was such a lightness. There was such a yumminess. I’m like, “Oh my gosh, she’s beautiful,” and I was like, “What? How could this be? That’s impossible.”

[00:03:33] Now, I wasn’t that size at the time. I was, I’m not even sure, maybe a 22 or something like that. I’m quite a bit bigger than that, but even that felt so doable compared to the conclusion that I should be a size 4 or 6 or something like that.

[00:03:51] It really opened my eyes to what I had always projected onto my body, like that she had to look what the doctor’s office would say that I should look like. No, that isn’t what she would like. That’s where you really want to start when you’re looking at transforming your body.

[00:04:08] Start by including your body. “Hey, body, what would you like? What would you like to look like?” Go somewhere in public and ask her to show you, or him to show you, or it to show you. Not all of them are he or she, could be an it. However you refer to it, ask it. “Show me.”

[00:04:27] If you have really big points of views about it, like… I actually don’t even remember. I remember being shocked and I remember being excited, I think probably more so than anything, but also probably I did have some points of views because it was still not perfect from this reality. You could really look at that.

[00:04:45] You could really look at, let’s say, your body is asking for four sizes bigger or 20 pounds heavier than what you think and you have points of views about that. Look at that. Are they actually yours? Have you decided that there’s something that occurs on the planet if you… you know, maybe you’ve always wanted to weigh 140 pounds and if you hit 140 pounds then, I don’t know, gold spurts from the ground or something? Start looking at that.

[00:05:12] You might have heard me a couple year ago — well, actually last year — because I really wanted to weigh under 200 pounds by the time of my 50th birthday. I was talking to a fellow facilitator and she “Well, then what? If you weigh under 200 pounds by your 50th birthday, then what?” and I was like, oh my gosh, I’d be so happy.

Guess what she said?

“Why don’t you just choose happy?”

What?! Oh, I cannot tell you the pressure that took off, the space it gave me.

[00:05:47] Also sometimes, we make the look of our body, the shape of our body, or the weight of our body really significant. If our body is asking to transform and it is asking to be different, then yes, absolutely play with it. Have fun with it. Create it from lightness. Ask it what it would like. “Show me, body.”

[00:06:08] For me years ago, my body showed me something called “alternate day fasting.” Now, this is not for everybody. My body loves it. My body loves it to this day. This is 3 and a half years later. I don’t do it all the time. For a few years, I did it pretty much consistently. Now, it’s a little bit more fluid. There’s a little bit of times where I eat every day for weeks and then go back to alternate day fasting, and there’s all sorts of things.

[00:06:39] That to me really comes with communing with our body, allowing our body to give us the information that it would like because just like us, we don’t probably wanna do the same thing every day, all day long. Our bodies don’t really have that same desire, either. Our body likes change and shifting things up and really recognizing that there’s so many other possibilities out there. So, ask your body to show you.

[00:07:05] It took my body, well, no. My body showed me, but it took me months to actually really receive what it was showing me. It started off in, I think it was September of 2019 when I sat down with a friend who had been doing extended fasting, meaning she was fasting for 30 days at a time. No, I have not chose that. I don’t know that body would ever be interested. Who knows? But I met with her in September of, I think it’s 2019, and then, I had a couple more things go on.

[00:07:36] It wasn’t until January of 2020 when I actually chose alternate day fasting, and that was really cool. I picked up a book from the library. It was the only book on weight loss there because it was January, but also because it was the one I needed, which then led me to another book, which then got me to alternate day fasting. It took me a while to receive from my body, but I got there. I got there.

[00:08:01] But then also not making it be, “Okay, here’s the result. I’m alternate day fasting so I must lose weight,” because that’s not it either. If we’re doing something just to lose weight, that might not work. I’m not saying it won’t, but it might not or it might not stay. Maybe we lose the weight, but we might gain it again because we’ve put the result in that number rather than what is it we’re looking for.

[00:08:29] In my case, as we know, happiness. What if we just choose happy? What a novel concept. What if we just allow it to be total magic? Really, that’s where we can be. When we allow our body to commune with us, we give it a voice. We let it say what it would like, and we co-create with it, then we can transform with it. We’re not necessarily transforming it because that almost takes over the control, so to speak. It really is transforming with it, allowing it to choose and and shift and all the magic that’s there, you know?

[00:09:10] We go back to the weird tool of acknowledging how much we’ve transformed. We transform our body every day. If you were to take a measurement of your waist every day, it’s going to be different every day. Probably, possibly, very likely, because you’re transforming it every day.

[00:09:27] So, what could you create if you included it and allowed it to transform with you into what it’s asking to be without a point of view of what it should be asking for? “Oh, it should want this. It should want that. It should want to weigh 110 pounds because that’s what the doctor office chart says.” Yeah. My body has no interest in that. At least not yet. Maybe at some point, it does.

[00:09:51] In fact, even acknowledgizing that we are the co-creators of our bodies can really start to shift things. Most often we walk around with this point of view that it’s happening to us. Our body shape and size is just happening to us. We have no choice in it. We have no say in it. What if we do? What if we do? We have the ability to commune with our body. We have the ability to ask it questions, the ability to allow it to guide us, and to take the actions that it’s asking for. We have that. We actually have a lot.

[00:10:28] We are the co-creators of our body. We’re not necessarily the creators of our body. We can be, but I like the energy of co-creator because it’s a totally different space. I’m co-creating with my body with what she would like to be like on the planet.

[00:10:46] It is a dance of being aware of where I’m deciding for her, I’m projecting onto her. “You are too big, you’re too this, you’re too that.” no. What if… what if there’s no “too”? What if there just is? If your body doesn’t like it, then give it the voice for you to co-create, to change it, to transform with it.

[00:11:14] Yeah, right? It totally changes the energy because then we’re not the superior bitch or bastard where we’re telling it, we’re being the Bossy Bosserson saying, “This is the way you need to be. This is what you need to look like. This is where you’re wrong. You’re wrong, you’re wrong!” It’s like, oh gosh.

[00:11:29] I wonder sometimes if all that wrongness that I’ve put on my sweet body sometimes adds to the things that I think shouldn’t be going on. How much heavy energy is wrongness? Uh, all of it! Wrongness is a hundred percent heavy energy. When we put heavy energy onto our body, how may that show up? Hmm. Yeah. Maybe heaviness.

[00:11:57] So the weird tool – acknowledgize how much you’re already transforming your body every day, all day.

[00:12:05] Now, how can you start transforming it in the way that your body is asking to be transformed? That’s where the communion comes in. That’s where the asking comes in. That’s where the co-creation comes in. That’s where the allowance of whatever she would like or he would like comes in. The actions that’s required, clearing the points of views about the things that it says it would like that you might think, “Oh, that’s crazy!” like myself all those years ago with alternate day fasting.

[00:12:30] I had such interesting points of views about food and what I needed food for, and how much food I needed, and when I needed food. Oh my gosh, it was exhausting. But let me tell you, once I cleared those points of views, total ease and joy and glory.

[00:12:44] Once again, I invite you to my $10 clearing call to clear the presumptive realities and the needs of reactive realities, keeping you from transforming your body.

[00:12:57] Have a great week, sweet friends. I look forward to chatting again next week.
