Hey everyone, it’s Sensei Victoria Whitfield here, your journey partner in business, welcoming you back to episode 159 of the Journeypreneur Podcast. This is your source for channeled holistic stress management techniques, guidance, inspiration and motivation to stay on your path to rapid financial ascension and massive impact as a conscious entrepreneur.

So the title of this podcast episode is DIY Versus COI Mindset.

Okay, so I was inspired to speak on the podcast about this episode, because I was in a mastermind, a wonderful, high level mastermind with one of my clients, the amazing Wanda Turini over at ecofiles.com - she's an incredible, incredible entrepreneur shout outs to you Wanda!

And one of the questions that she asked us was, "what do you feel is keeping you from taking the actions necessary to reach your next level? What is the next step that you're supposed to take, but you're not, or you're you're resistant to?" And for me, I was the one who was in the hot seat.

And whenever I'm in the hot seat, I tend to offer whatever I can, from my own perspective, and sometimes my own perspective is like, kind of really out of the box. And I don't know why no one expected me to say this. But for me, my next level I know is around visibility, and multiplying visibility and multiplying myself. And the vision that I have around executing on that next level looks like my hands on the keyboard, and I'm taking my hands away.

So my hands are on the keyboard in the vision of like, looks like my laptop, right? My MacBook or whatever it is. And then I take my hands away, and there is this distinct sensation of grief, grief. And so that is what I shared with the group. And now these are all like, very high achieving, you know, incredible business owners who, like, you know, are very tactical and technical minded. And I said to the group "well, the one thing that's keeping me back is processing my grief around not doing it all."

Yeah, and so that kind of threw everyone for a loop where they were a bit surprised. LOL! But it took the conversation in a different direction. That was it, rather than being tactical it ended up being more emotional and spiritual, which I mean, if I'm gonna enter the chat, this is going to come with me. And I'm so happy that we got to have such a powerful conversation around that but I wanted to bring this conversation, let it spill over into the into the Journeypreneur Podcast here for you because this is all about identity.

And I know we've talked about this many times before, but just coming back to that conversation at the mastermind, it was just like, deep. And then also the conversations I'm having on clubhouse as well are the same. By the way, come find me on clubhouse let's do a room, shall we? Yeah!

But the these conversations that we're having around identity, and emotion and how all of that is the fuel behind our productivity habits and behavioral patterns - it's huge. It's huge, and happening in high level masterminds. And just like I was saying before, you know, the future of coaching is spiritual. I'm seeing it all over!

I'm telling you, right now, quite literally, two people that I'm networking with, who are incredibly successful entrepreneurs, right. Really powerful, influential leaders. When we really get to talking about it, it all comes down to emotion and identity. And so there's this emotion and identity within me. I'll put it on me as usual. I'll put it on me.

There's this emotion and identity within me of the DIY Victoria - the do it yourself, right? If you want it done right, you got it. Do It Yourself Victoria: that hands on the keyboard, right? I'm stirring the pot, I'm building the thing, it's hands on, I'm taking a hands-on approach, and maintaining a hands-on relationship with whatever it is, the thing that I am creating, or the project that I'm involved in.

So there's more, there's more that extends out of that kind of an identity of the DIY identity: I, in order for me to trust that something is getting done, or is getting done right, then I have to have my hands on it. Underlining the word TRUST in that sentence. Let's underline that word trust. Because the DIY identity is a trust paradigm or a distrust paradigm.

So how in the world can I ensure that everything is a okay and is all right, and then I'm safe in the world? How do I trust that I'm being provided for? That the needle is being moved forward? Well, I did it myself! Right? I saw it firsthand. Seeing is believing, right, I had my hands in it. And that made me feel safe. Because I was able to do the thing or be involved in the doing of the thing.
