What is up, The Entrepreneur DNA family? If you are building a business and sometimes trying to figure out how you actually take the energy to go build that business that seems to be getting sucked by family or friends or personal issues or health and take that energy to drive the business the right way, we have someone who focuses on how we, the business owner, the drivers can harness our energy for the right purposes and keep going while times are tough. Christina Deering is here. How are you?

Christina Deering (1:24)

I'm so good. I'm so excited to be here, Justin. This is gonna be a lot of fun.

Justin Colby (1:28)

It is. Now, I'm from the West Coast, I live in Miami, but everything you and I have talked about, I had the pleasure of being on your podcast, phenomenal podcast, by the way. I encourage everyone to look up Christina Deering, get over to the podcast.

But everything we have been talking about, I firmly believe energetically, like with myself, right? So let's talk a little bit, not about your story first, let's let the listener understand the power of the energy that they are not only just focusing on, but then outwardly giving toward something.

Christina Deering (2:02)

So I know that people have heard people say, energy is everything. And what I think is really interesting about that is, when I think about when we're building something, and I think about two different people doing it, and they could take the exact same strategy and implement it from different energies, it might work really powerfully for someone. They might get exactly what it is that they desire. And for the other person, it's not working for them at all. And they're like, wait, I did the exact same thing.

What's the outlier? What's happening? Why is it not working for me? It all comes down to the energy that you're utilizing to actually push that forward, push it into the collective. Who are you being when you're doing the things? Are you magnetizing in the clients, the experiences, the opportunities that are in alignment with what you're physically doing? But are you in alignment? And do you desire to receive what it is that you're telling the world that you desire to receive? So when I think about energy, it's all about who am I being when I'm showing up for the thing that I desire and is that actually magnetizing in the people, the opportunities and all the things that I desire or am I blocking that in some way? And that's where we can actually step into energy healing to move all the blocks, the hidden blocks that are quite literally sabotaging your results all day long.

Justin Colby (3:16)

Now, is this wishful thinking and it'll just show up?

Christina Deering (3:22)

No.

I think that when we're in a state of wishing, it's probably not going, it's kind of a state of wanting. I want this, therefore I will continue to want this forever. But if you say, okay, I know that this is inevitable, who do I get to be and become in this moment such that it starts to actually move towards me is different. So I think when we're wishing for something, it's like saying it's outside of myself, it's not attainable, I want this, therefore I will continue wanting, versus being like, of course it will happen and I'm gonna keep showing up, even when I get kicked in the ass over and over and over again, I'm gonna keep showing up because I know that it's inevitable. And so we keep showing up for the thing that we absolutely know is gonna happen regardless of what our outside circumstance is happening because our 3D reality, what we're experiencing right now is an old manifestation.

This energy is old, this is based on what I thought yesterday and a year ago, right? How can I change what I'm feeling right now such that it starts to reflect in my 3D reality? But so often we're looking at what's around us and saying, oh, this is reality. It's like, no, this is what your reality was based on what you thought 20 minutes ago, an hour ago, yesterday, a year ago. How can you change it right now and have the holding power that says, I'm willing to believe in this even when it hasn't shifted yet, but I know it's coming? It's like when we place the Amazon order, we're not like, is it actually coming? Wait a minute, I want to know the package is here. It's like, if we are so concerned that the Amazon package is actually coming, we lose the plot, right? Like, it's on its way, but just because it's not on your doorstep right now does not mean it's not on its way. And we have to be able to stick through that experience, that middle, messy middle.
