Speaker #0What we're doing here is so, so new. The whole regenerative economy is emerging as we speak. It's a script that is yet to be written, a path that hasn't been trodden. And you, you are a brave soul who is willing to walk out without a map, to follow your instincts and head towards something better than the corporate grind and soul-sucking work that you left behind. Welcome back to the podcast. Here in a lot of Europe, we are having a heat wave. So as I'm recording the podcast, I have the curtains, these heavy curtains shut on my studio. It is baking outside and it feels a little bit like I'm recording a podcast in a sweat lodge. So I'm looking forward to experiencing the energy of that. Today I'm going to be talking about the purposeful income path. This is a self-guided framework that I've created. It's the first time I've ever created something like this. I created it for myself and it worked so well for me and for my clients that I wanted to share it with as many people as possible. It's launching this week and so I'm using the podcast today. to talk a little bit more about our challenging relationship with money and regenerative work, why I created this framework, why it works, exactly what you can expect inside of it, and how you can take advantage of a really significant discount if you go ahead and join the waitlist. So let's get into it. A little bit of context. I feel like if you've listened to the podcast for a while, you're probably sick now of me talking about the challenge of money. But the reason that I come back to it time and time again is that that is what clients are presenting to me. Everybody who comes to work with me feels stuck around their relationship with money. It is the number one blocker for anybody who is coming into regenerative work it's deeply entangled with our own confidence levels, our own sense of value and of worth. So money really, really cuts very deeply and it has the capacity to keep us completely stuck or spiraling. And I see far too many times people who are coming into the regenerative world of work or and They're still in corporate, but they're really curious and inspired to pursue a more regenerative path. And they just can't seem to find their way forward because of the money piece. Perhaps it feels just too scary for them to think of life outside of that regular paycheck. They've never made money for themselves outside of a kind of salaried relationship. And that feels completely terrifying them to take a more entrepreneurial path. And perhaps they really struggle around the idea of setting their value, of setting a price for their work, for their offering, of selling, of asking for money. That can bring up a lot of really complicated, difficult feelings. And maybe, and I certainly went through this myself, the more that they've learnt about money, about modern monetary theory. the more they've understood the re-entrenched relationship between money and the polycrisis that we find ourselves in now. And they have very strong feelings around money and are looking towards a kind of post-money future, which is something that I share a vision of. But the way that I've come to think about this is that money is as far as I can see, something that is going to be instrumental in helping us to transition to that future. And as long as we don't look at the money piece, or as long as we keep letting money have this control over us, as long as we choose not to harness the power that money has, and I mean that in energetic terms, I think that money is extremely strong energetically. and it has the possibility ability to be something that allows us to make really radical change, that allows us to have huge impact in terms of turning the tide of history and co-creating this regenerative future that we're all feeling our way towards. That money has the ability as individuals to resource us on a really, really deep level so that our needs are met, so that we are comfortable and empowered so that we can continue to do this work. I see so much potential and possibility and money and believe me it took a long time to get there and I am still doing this work and shaping my mindset every day. So if you've left the corporate world of work where you're planning to, the chances are that you're coming up with all these kind of questions. How do I make enough money to support myself and my family? How can I do this without selling out or burning out? How do I even begin? What's going to be viable? Where is there demand? And you get stuck inside of these questions before you even begin. You get into this spiral of indecision and you're bogged down by lack of confidence. and of course you do. I really want to share with you that this is totally normal and human and understandable to feel this way because what we're doing here is so, so new. The whole regenerative economy is emerging as we speak. It's a script that is yet to be written, a path that hasn't been trodden. And you, you are a brave soul who is willing to walk out without a map, to follow your instincts and head towards something better. than the corporate grind and soul-sucking work that you left behind. Problem is, it can be really hard to move out of that stuck, spiralling stage. You just can't seem to find your focus. You keep trying new things and then reinventing and hovering between, oh, I really should get a job, or maybe I can make this work as a freelancer, or do I dare to even dream of starting my own regenerative business? And so what you do is you take course after course and you seek out new qualifications and you do your research and you make your plans. But in reality, you're doing very little action and time stretches out and you still haven't left that job that doesn't serve you. And time stretches out and you still are taking a career break that just doesn't seem to move on. or time stretches out and you've tried so many things, but you've never actually committed and seen something through and proven to yourself that it is possible to make money, support yourself and feel great doing work that really matters. Okay, let's stop. Let's take a breath. Here's the good news. Getting out of that cycle is actually incredibly simple. All you have to do. is to create a framework within which you make decisions and focus on one highly motivating financial goal at a time. Because when you commit and follow through, even if it's not perfect, you prove to yourself that you can do this. You can make money and do work that you feel really good about. And each time you do that, no matter how small you start, Each time you give yourself the opportunity to move to the next level, to dream bigger, to be more ambitious, to have more impact, and that is how you work your way to really big goals, to radical change and impact, and the power to create the kind of world you want to see. It all begins with choosing a purposeful income path. And with a little focus and my simple framework, you can do that. I promise this is true. in just one hour. So I'm going to walk you through that framework so that you know exactly what to expect, who it's for, and why it works. If you're more of a visual person and you want to see this written out, then go to regenerativeworklife.com forward slash purposeful hyphen income hyphen path. That link is also in the show notes and you'll find all of the information that you need that. Purposeful Income Path launches on the evening of the 3rd of July but if you sign up ahead of time by joining the waitlist which you can do on the website you are going to get a very special launch discount because I'm offering 50% off for the first 48 hours. So you can have the program at half price but you have to be on the waiting list so go and do that now if you are more than ready to take action. Okay let's talk more about why and how I created this program. Because I created this for myself. I, a little bit of background, you may know I was an entrepreneur for 15 years. So I know a thing or two about how to make money. I've built, scaled and sold a successful company. I have sold to thousands of clients I have made. significant amounts of money. I can do all of those things. But when I sold my business, which coincided with me learning more and more about regenerative thinking and the regenerative economy. And as I set out to pursue work that felt more aligned with who I was and with this regenerative worldview that I was learning about, I really found myself spiralling. I was jumping between ideas. I kept floating with giving up. I was taking all the courses. I was reading all the books. I wrote plan after plan and then rewrote the plans again. Because for me, the hardest part wasn't a lack of ideas. It was finding the clarity and confidence to choose just one way forward. And all of the confidence that I'd had as an entrepreneur inside a company with a team and a brand was really challenged. And my lack of confidence, my lack of belief, my lack of kind of real foundation in my worth was really challenged as I came into this work. And I needed to prove to myself that I could make money, doing this thing that had started as just this kind of kernel of idea inside my head, inside my heart that I wanted to pursue but had no external validation that told me, yes, Alyssa, this is a good way to make money. I only had that coming from inside of myself and I needed to follow it and focus it and prove to myself that I was right. And I didn't need a really long-term view. I actually had that part. That part for me wasn't difficult. I... believe this is really important for anyone in regenerative work to have a really powerful long-term vision of the kind of impact that you want to have but that wasn't actually helping me on a day-to-day basis what I needed was a first step that I could commit to so one morning I'd actually taken myself away for like a little kind of mini business retreat to get some perspective on where I was going in my business what was working what wasn't what I needed to change and I was sat at breakfast with my notepad and pen and this framework just came to me and this is how all of the best things I've ever created just kind of they come to me extremely quickly they kind of flow through me and they arrive kind of fully formed and that's exactly how it happened with the purposeful income path I just wrote down these seven questions to myself And I went through the questions and by the end of it, I realised that I had created a simple framework for myself to finally figure this out. I saw just right in front of me, this is what I need to do. This is where I need to focus. And I'm going to commit to doing that type of work until I achieve this really meaningful financial goal. And then I get to reassess. But right now, this is my full focus and I'm telling you, it changed the course of my business. The regenerative business owner that I am today compared to a couple of months ago when I created this framework, completely different. I have so much more energy, so much more focus. I am disciplined without any sense of kind of hustle or, you know, I don't know, sweating myself to the bone. Like I'm balanced in terms of my work and my commitment to my family. and money home and being in nature. I found a way to have all of that work together in service of this goal. I know what I'm doing and the ideas flow and I have energy and drive and it feels freaking fantastic. And now I'm sharing all of that with you because that is the purposeful income path. Seven simple questions, a process that you can go through in less than an hour. if you really focus and protect that time for yourself and this absolute clarity on what it is that you need to do next and the commitment that you're going to make it yourself to see it through to prove to yourself that it is possible so what is the purposeful income path it's a simple self-guided tool so when you purchase the framework you will get access to a series of short videos well where I'll explain each of the steps to you, a bit of the thinking behind them, give you some examples and prompts that will help you to really open up into those questions. And you'll have a workbook where you can go through this whole process for yourself and arrive at that final path. So what you're going to do inside of the path is you're going to set a highly motivating financial goal that feels aligned and achievable. It's not going to be a monetary amount, it's going to be a tangible outcome that making money achieves for you. You're going to define both ethical and personal boundaries, and this is so, so important, so that you don't recreate old cycles, by which I mean you don't go back into a corporatized mode of work. You don't overwhelm yourself. You don't burn out. You don't put everything else on hold in order to achieve this work. You do this this time. You're going to do this in a balanced way, in a way that sees your whole life, your whole work life come together. You're going to list realistic ways that you can start making money now. And then you're going to find the sweet spot between what feels easy and what feels joyful. And finally, you're going to choose one good way. to move forward and you're going to make yourself a promise, a real commitment to achieving that goal. So this is not a course, this is not going to take a long time. I sometimes use the word program but that's just habit, it's just a framework, it's just a simple set of questions. It's a way of thinking about this that you probably haven't approached before, I haven't seen anything like this inside of the regenerative space. It's simple, it's achievable, You just go through step by step. You trust yourself. You trust what comes up. You write it down. You arrive at the result. And what you're going to do inside of that process, you're going to build your entrepreneurial muscle. You're going to practice aligned decision making. And you're going to take that first purposeful step towards income and impact. So who is this for? This, the purposeful income path is for anyone who is still inside. of corporate and struggling to actually follow through on quitting and wants to start exploring ways to make money in a more regenerative way, perhaps while they're still in corporate or as a way to transition out of corporate. It's also for you if you have taken that step of leaving, but you're not yet finding a new way of generating income. You maybe tried a lot of different things or you keep flip-flopping back and forth between... Maybe I should go back to a job search or can I do this on my own? This is how you're going to make some decisions finally and start proving to yourself that, yes, you really can do this. And this is also for you if actually the word regenerative is quite new to you and you're not deeply immersed in regenerative ideas. But what you do want is work that feels really good to you. Life giving work. Work that gives life to others. work that you look for forward to in the morning that is in balance with all of the other aspects of your life, the purposeful income path will absolutely work for you. What do you get when you sign up? You get the worksheet that I mentioned that you can print out or you can use as a prompt. You get the video series where I will walk you through each of those steps with prompts and examples. You get the whole framework and you can come back to that whenever you need so you can binge it all in an Ow, ow, and done. come back and work through the questions and this is just this is yours for life so whenever you need it you can return to it in fact when you achieve that goal you can come back and you can set the next bigger more impactful goal and you're going to get that clear outcome so this is not a kind of thought experiment this is practical focused work you're going to find that one aligned feel-good way to start earning from purposeful work and most importantly you're going to get clarity confidence and the commitment to yourself. So I am really, really excited about the Purposeful Income Path. I believe in it so much because it worked for me. And after it worked for me, I took it to some of my long-term clients who are doing one-to-one coaching with me and I practiced with them and they also really enjoyed this and they found that things were really clicking in for them and they were getting to decisions much quicker. One of my clients told me that she really felt that she had finally managed to get her business pursuits into perspective with her life as a busy mum of three with wanting to have some time and space for herself and it helped her to shake off the kind of baggage of being in a busy corporate agency world where working and being ambitious just meant that your life was completely overtaken. by work and now she could see it in perspective with really firm boundaries around it, which actually helped her to fully commit to it.
