Today I would like to continue our conversation on manifesting $1,000,000 by simply existing. Like we discussed last week on Tuesday's video, I would like to further our exploration on manifesting $1,000,000 by simply existing. So what I did was I created a bunch of sections on my mind map here. If you're interested in a copy of this mind map, the link is in the description.

And I put a number of questions in here, including a number of questions that you asked. And these are questions that I would ask if I watched the video that I released last Tuesday, back in the days, if I didn't know who I was and I was watching that video. These are the kind of questions that I would ask. So I'd like to explore these questions with you today.

to further clarify what I mean by manifesting $1 million by simply existing. If you're interested in the video that I released last week, I'll link in the description to it. So this right here is built on the foundation of knowing who you are. So in Vedanta, it states that you exist as that pure awareness that

Witnessing Consciousness Bliss, Sat Chit Ananda, which can be translated over to Existence Consciousness Bliss. So you exist and your real nature is bliss and you can experience bliss in consciousness, consciousness being the only reality. So the way I relate to it is that you have already experienced

Everything that you could possibly want, need, you have it right now. The fact that you exist is enough. If you look at anyone who has built a business in a flow-based way, in a way that spontaneously and naturally manifests as prosperity, abundance, money, crypto, etc.,

It is a natural result of being who they are. In other words, it manifested as what they love to do, translated into products and services, and people benefited greatly from those products and services, and then they made referrals perhaps, and or they found different ways to

of creating more additional products and services built on the sure foundation that they are already that that ananda can be translated sat chit ananda ananda

can be translated into joy, peace, bliss, happiness. So their happiness, their peace, their bliss, their joy is what they share with the world converted into products and services. And they naturally offer it.

They naturally do these things that I talk about in my book here, the direct path to $1 million. They naturally prospect. They naturally generate leads. They naturally acquire clients. And they naturally engage in ongoing business with existing clients. By simply knowing who they are and abiding as they are,

As consciousness bliss, consciousness joy, consciousness happiness, consciousness peace, the natural manifestation of that is prosperity in some shape or form. It could be money. It could be whatever kind of life experiences. It is a natural reflection of who they are by simply existing. My own story is that

Prior to doing 10 years in corporate IT, I grew up with computers. I would take them apart. I would figure out what's going on with the software, hardware, and everywhere I would go, people would ask me, can you come over and remove the virus of my computer? Can you help me install this game? We just got a new printer. Can you help me install it, et cetera? And I absolutely loved doing it.

I would go over, I would do it for fun. And then people would pay me at times. And I never thought that one day it would turn into a career, which I was in corporate IT for 10 years. I was just existing as I am. I was just being as I am. And I, as a natural result of being as I am, naturally would do what I love to do.

And so the natural result of it was I ended up in a corporate IT career and I was there for 10 years. Even though some people might say corporate structure, this and that, I didn't have a problem with it. Later on, prior to transitioning and starting my IT business, it didn't feel resonant anymore, which is natural. Of course, you don't force yourself to do things that you don't love to do.

Simply existing means existing as consciousness bliss. You'll naturally follow your bliss, as Joseph Campbell used to say. Follow your bliss. That could sound like a thing to do. Follow your bliss. It naturally happens as a result of knowing who you are. The fact that you exist is bliss, is happiness, is peace itself.

is fulfillment, and it naturally manifests as your products, your services, how you go about doing it. And so when I was in corporate, although there was challenging experiences, I transmuted those challenges because I genuinely loved what I was doing. I would stay there and come up with creative solutions to deal with whatever thing was going on with network issues, etc.,

And then in 2009, I left corporate as I naturally felt myself to be an entrepreneur. This is who I am. I'm not trying to be entrepreneurial. It is the natural way that I am. Your way is the best way. Whatever your way is, as you allow yourself to be as you are, it naturally manifests as your style, your way of prosperity.

It could be a successful career. It could be an entrepreneurship venture. It could be this or that. And if you would like more details about this entrepreneurial path to $1 million, I have my book here, The Direct Path to $1 Million, Turn What You Already Have into a Fortune, which is available on Amazon. I'll link in the description to it, which is again built on the foundation of building three successful businesses since 2009.

Now, when I got into my IT business, I was excited about it. I genuinely loved to do what I was doing. It was the natural result of existing as Consciousness Bliss. That is the way that I would describe Consciousness Bliss or Consciousness Happiness or Consciousness Peace or Consciousness Joy.

I was doing something that I love to do, yet I wasn't forcing myself to do it. It was naturally happening. I was simply existing and everything appeared to flow. And if there was resistance, that was a result of identification to particular beliefs stored in the subconscious mind. And as I am prior to the subconscious mind and these beliefs, as in I am that pure awareness,

and my true nature is consciousness bliss, these beliefs do not represent me. So I released identification to these beliefs. And then again, the natural result of it was flow, doing the things that I love to do. When the IT business was built up to a particular point, I realized that what I genuinely love to do for the next phase is to consult based on my personal experiences of building my IT business to success.

based on my personal experiences of tenures in corporate. So I went into business consulting in the areas of innovation, sales, marketing, operation, finance, and leadership. I was existing since 2009 with my IT business, doing what I love to do, not forcing myself to do what I love to do. It just naturally happens that I was doing what I love to do.

And what naturally occurred was the realization that the next phase was to go into consulting and also start my YouTube channel where I would discuss the books that were really helpful, discuss it through mind maps like we're doing here. If you haven't seen my other channel, I'll link in the description to it. I started that in 2013.

So again, natural result of simply existing as consciousness bliss. So this is what I mean by manifest $1 million by simply existing. So I generally love to talk about innovation, sales, marketing, operations, finance, leadership. I generally love connecting with entrepreneurs, working with entrepreneurs in their business, and it doesn't feel like work.

It's fun. It's joyous. Now, this is my style. It might not be your style. Your style is the best style. So you being as you are, perfect as you are, you are that perfection. You are that existence, consciousness, bliss prior to any kind of limiting beliefs in mind or any kinds of thoughts that suggest otherwise.

As you abide as you are, the natural result of it is all these things added on to you as stated in the Bible. Seek ye first the kingdom and all these things will be added on to you. And if you have any questions to what we're exploring today, and if you would like me to discuss whatever nuance point further,

Again, these videos, since I started this particular channel here, have been built on the foundation of 16 years of entrepreneurship and generating many millions of dollars as an entrepreneur over the course of 16 years in three businesses. If you have any questions, you could leave it in the comments. And I got a few questions that came up that were left in the comments. I will be discussing them in today's video. You can leave your question in the comments and we'll explore in upcoming videos. So as mentioned,

I sat down and I said, okay, if I was watching this video back in the days and I came across someone saying that you can manifest $1 million by simply existing and then I watched that video, what would be some questions that I would have that I would like them to explore in upcoming videos? So I wrote them down here. So again, this mind map is available for download in the description. First question, how does knowing who I am directly result in money? Well,

You are that pure awareness, that still I am presence, that is perfect as it is now. In the mind, the individual may have formed beliefs of lack, of limitation, of not allowing themselves to be who they truly desire to be, not allowing themselves to creatively express. If you want more details on this, I recommend my Subconscious Mind program, which I'll link to in the description.

And if the individual identifies with these beliefs, rather than being who they are prior to these beliefs, satchitananda, existence, consciousness, bliss, the individual goes on to live a life that is not based on who they are. They're not being the way they are. They're not being as they are.

Another way of saying it is they're not doing what they love to do. They're not allowing themselves to follow their bliss. They're not allowing themselves to creatively express, etc. So no shame, no condemnation. As the individual knows who they are. Know who they are is simple. You are that still I am presence prior to the body, the thoughts, the emotions, the beliefs of limitation, etc. You are that.

That is referred to as tatwam asi, thou art that. So knowing who you are,

You naturally surrender those beliefs. You naturally not identify with those thoughts of limitation. And what naturally emerges are your interests, your hobbies. And for me, that was IT back in the days or technology, computers. And as mentioned, in 2013, I started consulting and making the YouTube videos. I didn't go further into technology, although now I'm playing around a lot with AI and

Yet back in those days, it was something that from morning till night, I remember coming home from school and I would be on my computer right when I got home. And I would be on my computer till two, three o'clock in the morning, weekends included, because I genuinely love what I did. And so that naturally became a career, that naturally became a business, that naturally became consulting, that naturally became

results in me being here, having this conversation, having written the book, etc. And the journey continues. Next question. If I'm infinitely intelligent, why do I sometimes feel confused or unsure of what to do next? So again, further context, I recommend the video that I released last Tuesday, I'll link in the description to it.

I said that you are infinitely intelligent as you are, or you access the superconscious mind as you know who you are. It naturally emerges as ideas, creativity, etc. Why do I sometimes feel confused or unsure of what to do next?

That is because of identification. And by that, it is meant specifically, you are that which is prior to any kinds of thoughts in mind. As you abide as you are, as in don't identify, let the thoughts be. Go for a walk if you find it to be helpful. Have a conversation with someone that does not identify with limitations. Do something that you love to do. For example, I snowboard.

The confusion dissolves. It's no longer there in mind. And spontaneously and naturally, what arises is what to do next. So essentially, the infinite intelligence within you is always providing the plans, the hunches, the inspirations, also taking care of everything for you.

You no longer identify with confusion in mind by knowing who you are. The natural result of that is releasing identification or letting go of thoughts of confusion. Does this mean taking no action whatsoever or does it imply aligned spontaneous action?

Everything happens spontaneously. What you do, what you don't do, what you say, what you don't say, the kind of prospecting, the kind of lead generation, the way you go about building your business, the business model, your style happens spontaneously. It naturally happens as you do not go looking around to see what other people are doing and then forcing yourself to do something that does not feel right.

right for you that does not feel natural for you then it's going to feel like force forcing yourself to do this and i need to do this i need to do that what i'm pointing to is that the pure awareness is that infinite intelligence that doeth the work we can say it that way

And so it naturally spontaneously manifests as you knowing what to do, what not to do, what to say, what not to say, etc. Intuition, clarity emerging, etc. So I'd like to relate this question that was left in the comments over to this section here. What if I get bored of who I am?

You are the pure awareness, the still I am presence that is prior to the thoughts of being bored or any kind of concepts of you that are limited. So I get what you're referring to. You're referring to what if you're doing something that is not the natural result of you being you as bliss. In other words, you're not following your bliss.

By knowing who you are, knowing that you are existing as bliss, happiness, joy, fulfillment, love, peace, the thoughts about being bored no longer happen. I can't remember the last time I was bored. I either do things that I love to do or even if I, for example, yesterday, one of the things that I did was I sat in a parking lot and I just sat there and I was in the car. I wasn't thinking. I wasn't bored.

Yet that spontaneously happened as well. Sometimes you may do this, sometimes you may not, sometimes you may sit and do nothing. All of that spontaneously happens. You see the theme here. The theme here is that knowing who you are and abiding as you are. And by the way, I did a lengthy discussion on this in a recent video on my other channel, the one I released on Sunday. I'll link a description to it where I get into this into more detail. By knowing who you are and abiding as you are,

You naturally are at peace wherever you are. You're naturally experiencing joy wherever you are, joy of simply existing. So section number two, addressing inner blocks and money beliefs. So the blocks or the resistance are the result of belief identification. It's just the programming in mind or beliefs we can say.

that is generating the resistance. You are already that. You are that joy, happiness, peace, satchitananda, existing as consciousness bliss, as consciousness happiness, as consciousness peace. These money blocks dissolve as they are not real. They do not actually exist where they actually exist other than concepts in mind.

They dissolve by knowing who you are and abiding as you are. What are some of the most common limited money concepts people are unconsciously operating from? Well, money is evil. Only people that do this and that malicious thing have a lot of money. Money is not for me.

Money is not spiritual or something like that. Those are some of the ones that I have worked with individuals to release identification to. And also for me growing up, money is the result of hard work. I need to stress and forcefully make money. I can't just have money show up by doing what I love to do, which is actually the natural way of being. When you do what you love to do and you offer it as a product or service, you're

What happens is that people not only benefit greatly from the product or service, but they love working with you because they feel the vibe. They feel the energy of you doing what you love to do. They refer people to you. They come back and buy additional products and services, etc. That's what I mean by manifest $1 million by simply existing, by being as you are. If I am abundance, why does my bank account not reflect it right now?

Consider this. This is the world of becoming. You are already that. You are that love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, prosperity. It appears as more and more so added on to you. So even if your bank account does not reflect whatever number goal that you have,

As it has not for me, when I was in the earlier stages of entrepreneurship, and even in 2004, when I was in debt and I was getting out of debt, it was appearing to get out of debt, as in the debt was being paid off and eventually no debt. The sales went from zero to X amount of dollars or Y amount of dollars and X and Y in the bank account.

What appears here does not define you. The fact that you exist is abundance. Now, why I teach it this way, very precisely, why I teach it this way is the individual may be looking around to this world, like that would be an example, and questioning how could they be that love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment, prosperity? How could they be this sign or this thing says otherwise?

The opportunities are available right now in front of you. There are infinite resources, relationships, assets that are available here. You have everything. You are right now standing on your own acres of diamonds. If we see reality through the lens of limiting beliefs, it doesn't appear that way.

Attention only appears to go in particular directions. And more specifically, attention appears to go in whatever direction where the person may interpret it as not being abundance. They do not know who they are in the moment. You can say forgot who they are in the moment. You are that pure awareness, existence, consciousness, bliss,

witnessing all these things added onto you in perfect harmony. So then as a result of knowing who you are and abiding as you are, you don't worry about what appears here. How many entrepreneurs throughout the years have shared their stories about how at particular points the revenues had gone down? They may have gone into credit card debt as they were building their business. I know many of them personally. And actually when I started my IT business,

The first little while was very challenging because it was new, but that wasn't a problem. That's like saying, I learned how to snowboard five years ago. Learning how to snowboard was challenging, but I didn't run away from the challenge. I embraced the challenge. You cultivate the skills of prospecting, lead generation, client acquisition, the business skills like innovation, sales, marketing, operations, finance, leadership. You cultivate these skills along the way.

So, to say that if it does not reflect, first you imagine yourself to have a lavish, steady, dependable income consistent with integrity and mutual benefit, and then a second later or a minute later it does not appear, it doesn't mean that you do not have it inwardly. You have it inwardly, you are it inwardly, and as you know, you are that inwardly.

The natural result is all these things appearing to be added onto you. And time is not a concern. I don't worry about time. I recommend and I teach having a wonderful relationship with time. The next is actually a question that I received about the videos. It was about videos being focused a lot, the topics, speaking about coaching, consulting, and my personal experiences in business, etc., my IT business.

And the question was, how does it apply? I make art and resell locally. Well, that's wonderful. I'm not interested in having social media or content. Well, consider that when you genuinely love what you do, which I imagine you love what you do, you make art, you offer it locally.

As you're offering it locally, as you're approaching, maybe if you're leaving it on consignment at restaurants, et cetera, you're approaching these restaurants, spontaneously opportunities can present themselves. People buy your art. They can refer people to you. They may ask you to do custom pieces for them. You don't need to do social media. I know some individuals who do custom artwork for wealthy individuals. They some way, somehow meet these individuals.

And they get paid a lot to do this custom artwork, and they do not have a social media presence. So there are ways. Section three, flow-based prosperity, living the flow-based prosperity way. By the way, I do have a mastermind and group coaching service called Flow-Based Prosperity. If you're interested in that, I'll link the description to it. How do you distinguish between flow-based work or egotism-based action by avoiding hard but necessary tasks?

So some nuance points to explore here is you naturally do what you naturally are, which is love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. The resistance is generated by identification to particular beliefs in mind that generate the resistance. The resistance is not there when you don't identify with these beliefs.

So mind purification happens as a result of knowing who you are and abiding as you are. You are that pure awareness witnessing all these things. As you remain as you are, those beliefs dissolve. And the result of it is flow. Body naturally flows what you say, what you don't say. The joy of simply existing. The bliss of simply existing.

So what you do does not seem stressful or frustrating. And if it does, you naturally optimize, automate, delegate, eliminate in part or in whole or in combination. So that's a way of distinguishing. I talk about this in my book. Again, the link is in the description.

Can you clarify what practical activities you were doing when just remaining in flow that led to financial exchange? Yes. Prospecting, lead generation, client acquisition, and coming up with innovative ways to optimize my prospecting, my lead generation, my client acquisition. Coming up with additional offers, right?

for ongoing business with the existing clients or coming up with different ways that I could partner with businesses to combine my products and services and offer to existing clients, thus generating additional revenue sources and or offering their products and services over and taking a percentage on the deal or

joint venturing and creating products and services together. My expertise, their expertise, my assets, their assets, combining in creative ways to grow the business. These are revenue generating activities. Clearly they are prospecting, lead generation, client acquisition, ongoing business with existing clients. Those are revenue generating activities.

Yet I wasn't forcing myself to do these things. I was naturally doing these things because I love to do these things. And there were parts of these things that I wasn't doing. I would bring on people to help me with it. I would automate it. I would optimize. I would eliminate parts. I would delegate. Or I would partner with people. And we would together...

ensure that these areas were not being neglected. This goes back to the previous question about avoiding. So there's no avoiding. None of this is about avoiding doing things. Naturally, you do the things that you love to do. And the things that you're not a fan of doing, or we could say you don't love to do, people show up and they do those things. This is how we effectively delegate. We bring on people onto our team,

or we bring on contractors that generally love to do the things that we don't love to do. You don't force yourself to do things you don't love to do. You do the things that you love to do. And the things that you don't love to do, which is natural, is what other people love to do.

You can automate it, delegate it, optimize or eliminate in part or in whole or in combination. So you do the particular aspects of whatever that is that you love to do. Whatever else is delegated, automated, eliminated, optimized accordingly.

So all you're doing is simply existing as consciousness bliss. As you know who you are and abide as you are, all of these things that we're talking about here happen naturally. The surrendering of the tasks you don't want to do, the letting go of what you don't want to do, the following your bliss, the doing what you love to do, all of that happens naturally, including surrender.

the opportunities that present themselves. See, the way I relate to it is I'm going back now when I started my entrepreneurial journey in 2009. I just focused on the things that I love to do and then opportunities would show up. When I built my IT business, what happened was I had an inspiration to reach out to someone on Facebook.

We met up for coffee and we set up a referral deal with each other. He referred me to a steel company and they gave me so much work that I ended up bringing on my first contractor,

The accountant over there ended up bringing us in to do work for her firm, IT work. And then she referred me to so much business that at one point I said to her, can you please stop referring business to me? We don't have the infrastructure to keep up with this pace. All of that happens naturally by doing what you love to do and not worrying about everything else. Everything else, the other pieces fall into place.

And as I'm articulating this, consider as well, I made flow a priority in 2017. I wasn't always flow-based all throughout the entrepreneurial journey. There was times where I forgot who I was. There were times where I was being as I am in flow. There were times where I was out of flow.

Yet I brought awareness to what I call flow restrictors, which are just beliefs that do not represent you, that are stored in the subconscious mind. And as you release identification to those beliefs, the natural result of it is flow. So you don't try to be as you are. You are naturally as you are. What results in the person not being the way they are, existing as consciousness bliss?

These particular beliefs in mind, if identified with, they seek outwardly for doing this or that, thinking that that's going to result in love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. And although that might provide some temporary relief, what we're pointing to here is that

The fact that you exist is all those things. Love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. So then what happens is your body naturally flows. You come up with creative ideas. You know what to do, what not to do, what to say, what not to say. For example, in sales, everything flows naturally as a result of remaining as you are. So if the individual has challenge abiding as they are,

It's just a result of identification. They release that identification and they establish themselves in reality, perfect as it is now, as you are perfect, as you are now, existing as consciousness bliss. Section number four, positioning value and unique expression. As we talked about unique value proposition and positioning, unique selling proposition in the video last Tuesday. Again, I'll link the description to it.

What if I don't know what my positioning is yet? How do I discover it? Well, if I look back at my journey, I could say that I was doing what I love to do. In the initial stages, I love technology and IT. Then I went into business consulting. I love making YouTube videos. I genuinely love it. I don't force myself to make these YouTube videos. So if you look at your life and see all the things you're genuinely interested in doing,

Those kinds of things can be turned into a business. I have never met anyone that has a hobby or something that they love to do that cannot be turned into a business. As a matter of fact, that's one of the great benefits of being in consulting since 2013. I have been exposed to thousands and thousands of businesses and business models, and I have seen so many different kinds of businesses that are very successful and

that maybe 10 years ago, 20 years ago, or maybe it was always like that. I don't know. I just didn't see it. I didn't think that those are ways, like we were talking about earlier, art, for example. I didn't think that particular kinds of creative expression in art could have turned into not just a business, but a successful business, one that is thriving,

Yet I've seen it. And that's one of the reasons why I love consulting is because many businesses ask me, how do I turn what we have here, this interesting idea into a business? And we explore and we discover the ways. Can you walk through how your own unique selling proposition emerged from just being yourself? Well, I realized in 2017 that flow is the way for me.

It was where I was the happiest, joyous, most productive. Revenue numbers were increasing. Business was growing. The works, conversation skills, social life, personal life, everything was harmonious. And so that ended up being a natural manifestation, flow-based prosperity or teaching flow or being in flow,

is a result of it being very helpful for how I wanted to live. In other words, I realized that flow is the natural way of life. It's the effortless way of life. Yet while in flow, everything gets accomplished, which was interesting.

So I felt that that would be a good topic to discuss, to consult on, to make videos on. And that's how that unique selling proposition for flow-based prosperity or any kind of courses or anything that I talk about, being in flow and flow-based entrepreneurship very specifically. That's how flow-based entrepreneurship, what I teach and how I go about my consulting, whatever feels natural, fun, joyous, flow-based.

for the entrepreneur, for the businesses. We let that emerge. That became my selling proposition as it was a natural result of me simply existing. Do you see that? That's what I mean. You exist as. Existence is love, happiness, peace, bliss, fulfillment. Existence is and you experience that consciousness bliss, consciousness happiness, consciousness peace, consciousness happiness,

love, consciousness, consciousness, joy by being as you are and the manifestations of it is what you do, your creative expression, your products, your services, your business model, etc. And of course, then it's going to be flow-based because you're

You're just being who you are. And everything else, well, you optimize, automate, delegate, eliminate, part or in whole or in combination. And the individuals that you delegate to genuinely love to do what they love to do. You know, the saying, like attracts like. When you love what you do, you attract people that love what they do. That's not just with team members and vendors and staff. And it's also with clients.

and people that you work with in whatever shape or form in your business, mastermind partners, et cetera. Section five, translating awareness into income. How do I access this information in mind and translate it into income generating offers? So I mentioned that you are not only infinitely intelligent as you exist, you also have within your mind

stories, wisdom, reference experience, life experiences that people benefit from. You can convert those into products and services, whether it be physical products, digital products, services, etc. That's how you do it. And so we can get into all kinds of nuances on how to go about doing it.

in upcoming videos. But generally, that information is available right now in mind by just querying it. What do I love to do? What are things that people are looking for that I'm really good at, that I love to do, that I can offer as a product or service? Can you share your process for taking a story or insight and turning it into a coaching or consulting offer? Yeah, like flow-based prosperity, for example.

I say, okay, I realize that by being in flow, everything happens naturally. I can say things like manifest $1 million by simply existing as I know that I am that existence, consciousness, bliss. Therefore, I choose to be as I am. I remain as I am. And the natural result of that is business growth, harmonious relationships in business, et cetera, the way I go about life.

my business initiatives, flow-based way. And I'll share my story. I'll say, okay, I was in Playa del Carmen, Mexico in 2017. I asked myself the question. I've shared the story a number of times on my other channel. It's just an honest story. All I'm doing is I'm just sharing

Taking the experience that I had and turning it into a story and then saying, if you would like to have this kind of experience in your entrepreneurial journey, then I have experience doing it for myself. And I also have experience doing it with clients. As a matter of fact, on my other YouTube channel, I'll link in the description. Actually, you can check out the Flow Based Prosperity offer page. There's three videos that I did with three clients talking about

how we went about doing things in a flow-based way, working together, and they build their businesses to success. So you could take your process, your story, and also your stories of working with clients and create case study videos, videos where you talk about it, and then translate that over to an offer by saying, I could do this for you as well. Next question. How do I know which of my observations are valuable enough for others to pay for?

Well, having conversations with people, whether it be in mastermind groups, forums, meetups, having exploratory conversations, what naturally emerges in exploratory conversations. Again, I talk about exploratory conversations in this book. What naturally emerges, as it did in the earlier stages, prior to me offering IT services when I was growing up as a teenager,

people would come up to me and say, can you do this for me? I'll pay you to do it. As you're having exploratory conversations with people about your interests, what you do, what you love to do, you may ask the question, do you know anyone that would be interested in this?

Or they might ask you, can you do that for me? Or I know someone that is looking for it. Do you offer it? So being aware of these kinds of questions as they arise, what happens is that that's where the gold is. So when someone says, hey, can you do this for me? I'll pay you to do it. What happened was I ended up doing it. And then it started happening again and again and again because they started referring people to me, just like how I built my IT business and even growing up.

Now, I didn't know these things that we're talking about here while I was growing up, while I was a teenager. So if I had known these things here, then you could say that I would have gotten the results a lot sooner and faster. But I don't regret it because, again, like I teach in my book, like I teach on this channel here,

All of these stories, reference experiences, life experiences, wisdom, skills, knowledge, and experiences are valuable, including what I just shared. Because there are many people that work with me that say, I regret or I wish I would have done this sooner. And I say, you know what?

Connecting the dots looking backwards, you now have a wonderful story. And that valuable story can convert prospects into clients, can convert leads into clients. I know because during sales presentations, I have shared similar stories like this, which I could have said, oh, I wish I had done it differently. But that actual story was relatable with that individual, which then resulted in client acquisition.

So I trust you found this video to be helpful. If you would like a copy of this mind map, the link is in the description. Thank you very much for watching. I'll talk with you soon. Take care.
