Yeah.
10:18
Well, again, we don't realize that children are like little sponges.
10:23
They basically suppress a lot of these beliefs that they don't even realize that they have, but they come up in the adulthood.
10:31
And what's interesting is, I mean, if you're in a J-O-B, so to speak, somebody else is controlling the purse strings.
10:37
So unless you ask for a raise...
10:40
Those subconscious beliefs around money and worthiness are not going to come up too readily.
10:45
But when you start your own business or ask for a raise, that's when those subconscious beliefs wake up and go, what did your parents say about rich people? Your parents never made that kind of money.
14:15
Why do those two become so intertwined? Why do so many people unconsciously make the amount somebody is willing to pay them mean something about their value as a person?

How long, h-how long did that pneumonia keep you baked up for?
1:00
Um, about a we- Let's see when it started.
1:03
Started Mother's Day weekend, and it lasted through Memorial.
1:07
I was finally recovering Memorial Day weekend, so 11 days, I think, is how long it lasted.
1:14
I mean, I probably should have gone to the hospital, but at that time, I was afraid that, you know, that people...
1:21
You know, I wasn't afraid h- I was afraid of how the dog would react to people coming in.
1:26
And when I initially...
3:19
That, that whole lack of oxygen
13:45
So it's really, really a huge, huge, huge thing, which with being a motivational speaker and a life coach, you gotta figure that same thing out with people, don't you?
13:58
Yeah.
13:59
I mean, like I said, I mean, what I find is, is that when s- people start a business, it's like there's a lot of worthiness, there's a lot of worthiness issues that come up.
14:10
Like they've never done it before.
14:13
It's like that wonderful mind kicks in and says, "Well, who do you think you are? You've never done this before.
14:20
You're gonna fail." So there's so many people, particularly women, I think, that start a business and basically get stuck.
14:30
So that's, you know, it's, and they don't know why.
17:10
It's interesting with pneumonia, you breathe in, you just don't get any air.
