Welcome to the Spiritual 9to5 podcast, hosted by myself, Marie Groover of The Corporate Psychic. Today we're mixing money, desire, purpose, and authentic self. And we are going deep into the mindset and fear that comes up before taking the leap on the thing it is that you want. Because the first step in successfully making money being who you are and doing what you want is bringing your brain along in the journey.

Marie Groover (00:37.484)

I have so many things to say about this and I'm honestly not even sure where to begin here. So I'll start by sharing a list of things that I've found to be true and then I'll deepen upon some of it. And I'll probably record like four more episodes if we're being real. So the first thing is what you focus on will expand. This is crucial. Focus on what's in your heart and you won't go wrong. Two,

Your purpose will never limit you, but you do need to get clear on it. Getting clear on your purpose illuminates the infinite pathways to fulfilling it. Three, you are your greatest asset. You are your safest bet. And when you're clear and connected with your purpose, your purpose can and will secure and support you. Yes, financially, but also beyond.

And we can replace purpose with what you want, by the way. When you're clear and connected to what you want, that cannon will secure you. It will support you. And number four, if you want something, going all in is the path with the least amount of risk. Remember, if you want it, it is possible for you. We're not gonna dive super deep into this in this episode, but it's important and we'll come back to it again.

Number five, if you want to live with joyousness, if you want to be and feel fulfilled, if you want to make a lot of money, if you want anything at all, stop looking for a path to follow and create your own. Getting 100 % of what you want doesn't ever come by conforming to another path. More on this as well in another episode.

Number six, keep going. Results are not immediate. If you don't trust the process, trust yourself. I will circle back to this in this episode. And the last thing is if you want to make money being who you are, don't listen to what other people have to say. I will explain why in a few. So disclaimer.

Marie Groover (02:53.814)

If you haven't noticed, this episode is a bit more about the mindset, about what you believe to be true, than it is about the specific steps to follow to make money. This is because mindset is the biggest piece to conquer in your journey to making money. Starting a business, securing a job, materially pulling everything together, it all takes effort, but it's just the tip of the iceberg. The part of the iceberg that you don't see

is what's going on in the mind and how you bring your mind along in your journey beneath the material. You see, if there's something that you're holding in your heart that you dream of or that you desire or want to be true, say, to make money being yourself, doing exactly what you want, then it is possible for you, period. And especially if you have never experienced this before, if the thing that you want is net new to you,

then your mind is going to block you because the entire job of your mind, of your human brain is to keep you safe. Let's say that you're in a trauma scenario and actually this is how trauma bonds form. This is how we stay in patterns that do not serve us. We know that a relationship is bad for us but we stay in it because it's what we know. We know that a job is toxic but we don't quit. And even if it's not optimal, it's safe to the brain. So the brain...

will try to stop you from stepping into the unknown because it thinks that it won't be able to protect you. The entire job of your brain is to keep you safe. Whereas in a situation that is familiar, even if it's in trauma or toxic root, even if it's just like average, so it doesn't even have to be traumatic, but it's average, it's not the best thing for you. You're not growing anymore. The brain and your body, by the way, have developed pathways and methods of protection

to keep you safe, even in the trauma. Familiar is safe to the brain. Your brain's job is to keep you safe. This is a beautiful thing. We are alive because of our brains. So even though our brains sometimes keep us from growth, it's important to just take a moment and thank our brains.

Marie Groover (05:15.34)

And again, even though this is a good thing that we're alive because this is why we're alive, our brains keep us alive, they keep us safe. But this is also why when you're about to step into something new, anything at all, you have at least one moment of fear. Actually, I'm in this right now. I just hired TCP's second employee under me and I'm about to hire a third. I have never been responsible fiscally for holding this many people before.

It's fucking scary. It literally feels like I'm about to jump off a cliff and I'm not sure if my parachute is going to open. So I feel afraid. I feel fear, which is normal. But the key is what you decide to do with the fear, how you acknowledge it, how you work with it, how you bring your brain and your body and your nervous system along with you, despite the fear, despite the unknown.

And remember what I said at the very beginning of my list. The first thing, what you focus on will expand. If you focus on the fear and spiral out, the list of reasons for being afraid will grow. If you focus on all the reasons that things won't happen for you, you will start to see evidence of all the things that are working against you, of all the things that are going wrong or could go wrong. But if you focus instead on all the possibilities of what could be,

of what could go right, of what is working in your favor, even right now, you'll start to find new evidence that you are safe, that things are going to work out, that you've got this, that the world is working with and for you. And then your mind will move with you because you're showing it evidence that it can. You're giving it proof that you are okay. This is the key to rapid growth, by the way. If you can master your mind,

You won't not be afraid to leap anymore, but you will move through the fear that comes before the leap so much easier, so much more quickly every single time. And then you leap. But some of you still have this question, but what if it doesn't? What if your parachute doesn't open? What if TCP does go under? And I have to let go of the humans I promised I would support. What if that happens? What if you don't make a million dollars doing what you want? What if you don't get the thing, the job, the opportunity, the result?

Marie Groover (07:43.64)

What if it doesn't happen? My coach, Shoesh, she would say, but what if it does? And I will ground that with, okay, what if it doesn't? What's the worst thing that will happen? I'll tell you what it is. You will pick your ass up and you'll figure it out and still find that you are your most invaluable asset, your safest bet, the one thing that you can always rely on because you will always show up for yourself. I promise you that.

Whatever the worst case scenario is, I guarantee that you can fucking handle it and that you'll look back and be proud that you did. And then you keep moving in the direction of what you want. If you don't trust the process, trust yourself. You just proved that you can if you failed. I have a client actually who messaged me about her new found candle company. It's epic, you guys. It's amazing. I'm so excited for her.

She shared for the first time on social media that she was making candles and selling them. And she messaged me that she only got four new followers. She said to me, she was defeated. She did the thing that she desired and nothing happened. She didn't suddenly have a massive following. No new orders came in right away. What the fuck Marie? I showed up and nothing. By the way, if this resonates, please come to my three-day master class, monetize your purpose because I will tell you how to make it happen, the things that you want.

as you push out yourself into the world and your offerings and products and services and desires. But in the meantime, I have three things to say to this. One, if gaining four new followers is the worst case, then fuck. I mean, she didn't die, did she? Two, she gained four new followers, which means that someone from one single post, and it was actually a story, so was like not even permanent, right? It was a temporary story. Someone saw that. At least one person saw what she was doing and shared it.

but probably four or five or six or seven people saw what she was doing and shared it. Which is actually evidence that people are ready to share and show up for what's in your heart, for what you have to offer to this world. Maybe those four new followers didn't purchase a candle right away, but I guarantee if she kept showing up, they would eventually.

Marie Groover (09:59.027)

And third, I just saw this on Rita Mirchandani's Instagram story. So Rita is one of my coaches. A penny doubled every day for 30 days is $5.4 million. But a penny doubled every day for only 15 days, half of that time is only $163.84. If you show up in your fullness once and gain four new followers, imagine what will happen when you keep showing up in your fullness.

every day while you are simultaneously growing and expanding in your fullness. Learning how to show up better and better, fuller and fuller, literally increasing your odds each time, probably more than double by the way. If you quit on day 15, you could miss out on literally 5 million opportunities to expand, 5 million opportunities to connect, 5 million opportunities to give your service to the world.

The lesson in the post was to trust the process. But I say that when you can't trust the process, trust yourself. You are your greatest asset. And by gee, do not listen to other people and absolutely do not ask for permission, no. Remember when I said that your brain is here to keep you safe and that it will block you from growth? Well, so is literally every other human brain on the planet. You're not alone.

So when you confess your deepest desires to your best friend and she shits on it, it's not because your desires are not attainable. It's because she loves you and she wants you to feel comfortable. She wants to feel comfortable and her human brain cannot fathom the expansion and her human heart cannot bear the potential for your disappointment. And while this comes from such a good place, don't listen to the constraints of someone else's human brain. Do not follow your dreams or don't not follow your dreams.

because someone else's brain is worried that they won't feel safe and comfortable if you fail. Fuck that. Listen to your heart. It is your job to bring your own brain along in your growth. It is not your job to bring your friends and your family or even your partner or trusted advisors brains along too. They can manage their own brains. Bringing your mind along before you jump off a cliff is enough stress on your central nervous system. Please don't carry the world with you. The world.

Marie Groover (12:24.991)

your friends, your family, your partner, your trusted advisors, your mentors, the people that are in your outer circle that you don't even know who are watching, they will witness your expansion and they will naturally follow on their own. And so will a lot of other people. When you listen to your heart and follow it, you will start a movement. And it's this movement that will be the very basis for making money, being exactly who you are, doing exactly what you want. This is a lot.

So I will pause. I invite you to come back to all of this, re-listen to this. It's important. And then stay tuned because we're only going deeper in the next episode. This was literally just some of the mindset work around monetizing your purpose. It's like a taste of the work that you do as you start to bring your brain along, as you start to expand in yourself, as you start to bring your value into the world and make money while bringing your value, but while bringing yourself.

I know I didn't exactly illuminate the material breakdown of how to make money being yourself, but I am and I will be doing that and so much more on February 7th, 8th and 9th in a three day master class activation called monetizing your purpose.

Remember, if there's something that you want, anything that you're holding in your heart, whether or not you believe it's possible, it absolutely is. But if you want to see it, if you want proof, all you have to do is look. What you focus on expands. Focus on yourself. Listen to your heart.

Show up in your fullness. I can't wait to witness your expansion into all the things that are possible for you.
