Show Notes

Christy’s journey began in Scottsdale, Arizona, where she grew up in an upper-middle-class family. She graduated from college and started a promising career in Chicago, quickly rising from a sales rep at a liquor distributing company to a Midwest representative for a top wine company. Despite her professional success and financial independence, she felt an emptiness and lack of fulfillment that led her to question her life's direction. This inner void prompted her to move to California, where a chance encounter with a hairdresser who practiced meditation and energy work opened a new world for her. Intrigued by the potential of creating her own reality through her thoughts, she delved into the practice of meditation and the principles of the law of attraction. This experience not only filled the void she had felt but also set her on a path to help others achieve their desires. Christy built a successful coaching business, empowering thousands to harness the power of desire and positive thinking through her books, seminars, and coaching programs.

Where do our beliefs come from?

Beliefs are formed from repeated thoughts and experiences, starting from childhood.
Our subconscious mind is programmed by these beliefs and drives automatic responses and actions.
Becoming aware of negative beliefs allows us to consciously reprogram them into positive, empowering beliefs.

Define desire for us. What does desire mean as you see it?

Desire is an opening or idea that propels us forward.
It starts with a thought and is fueled by positive energy and enthusiasm.
Suppressing desire leads to resistance and unfulfillment.
Embracing desire with a positive mindset leads to aligned success and fulfillment.

What are the seven universal principles around desire?

Alignment: Know what you want and why. Be clear on your desires and the reasons behind them.
Focus: Visualize and focus on your desired outcome. Use tools like vision boards and mind movies to maintain your focus.
Joyful Expectancy: Expect your desires to manifest with joy. Cultivate a positive expectation that your desires will come to fruition.
Feeling: Be a vibrational match to what you want. Align your emotions with the feeling of already having what you desire.
Loving: Intensify your desire with love and positive emotions. Use the power of love to elevate your vibration.
Surrendering: Let go of negative thoughts and beliefs. Release any resistance and trust in the process.
Action: Take aligned actions towards your desires. Physical actions are necessary to bring your desires into reality.

What's one action someone can take today to tap into desire?

Wake up with gratitude and choose a positive state of being for the day.
Start with a simple thank you for a new day and set a positive intention for how you want to feel and what you want to achieve.

What are critical mistakes that prevent people from getting what they desire?

Ignoring or avoiding negative thoughts. Acknowledge and address them to shift your mindset.
Not being aware of and managing one's emotions. Develop emotional intelligence to stay aligned with your desires.
Allowing negative beliefs to control actions and outcomes. Reprogram negative beliefs into empowering ones.

What are some of the best lessons you've learned from your entrepreneur journey?

Stay in your lane and focus on what you enjoy and are good at.
Partner with others who have complementary skills to cover areas you are not proficient in.
Avoid resistance and stay in the flow of positive energy. Align your actions with your desires for seamless progress.
Take inspired actions that align with your desires to ensure they are driven by genuine passion and purpose.

What advice do you have for someone starting their entrepreneur journey?

Watch your words and choose language that empowers you. Words create your reality.
Understand that your business is an extension of you and holds your energy.
Shift from negative to positive language to create an abundant mindset and influence your business positively.

Is there anything else important for the audience to know about the subconscious, desire, and conditioning?

Recognize that abundance is created by you and your energetic support team.
Shift thoughts and words from lack to abundance to maintain a positive state and attract desired outcomes.

Best Quote

Transformation begins with the belief that you are worthy of everything you desire. Once you align with this truth, the universe conspires to bring your dreams to life. Harnessing the power of desire is about focusing your energy on what you truly want, rather than what you fear. It's the key to unlocking a life of abundance and fulfillment.

Learn the Rules of the Game: Understand and apply the seven essential laws to navigate life effectively.

Inside-Out Universe: Focus on feeling successful and abundant now, rather than waiting for external conditions.

Emotional Intelligence: Be aware of your emotions and manage them to stay aligned with your desires.

Misfit Entrepreneurs, as we build our businesses and work every day to make a difference in the world, we must not lose sight of setting ourselves and our families up for continued prosperity, both while working and when we choose to retire. But how do we do it?

Did you know that studies show the average American will outlive their savings and 401k by 10 years or more? The financial gurus urge you to “max out your contributions” to government-controlled 401(k)s or IRAs but even the man who invented the 401(k) says it’s a failed experiment that should be destroyed!

Wall Street tells you to defer paying your taxes by saving in a 401(k) or IRA, because you're going to retire in a lower tax bracket. But if that were true, why are so many retirees who followed that advice finding themselves in the highest tax bracket of their lives?

It’s time to get the truth and discover a better way to grow and protect your money! Bank On Yourself is the proven retirement plan alternative banks and Wall Street are desperately hoping you never hear about.
