Welcome to the Peak

Revival Podcast.

My name is Vesna Herster.

Today, I want to talk about.

How you can stop working

harder and the physics of

accelerating your success.

So as you go about your year

and your goals, I want to talk

to you about an approach, a

nonlinear approach to change.

So whatever your goal is,

personal health, life goal,

work, career, aspirations,

hobbies, then this can

help you for you to make a

quantum leap, a 10x leap,

rather than an incremental

leap in what you want to

achieve with a lot less effort

may sound too good to be true,

but let me talk about it.

so one of my favorite

books of all time is This

one called You Squared

by Price Pritchett.

it's an amazing book.

It's 37 pages.

It packs a punch.

There's no fluff.

It's absolute gold with big

ideas and principles and some

of the stories I want to share

with you from this and my

own personal experience that

could help you to see things

a little bit differently,

remove some of the frustration

and the pressure from you

in achieving what you want

to achieve and, showing

you some big key ideas.

So if you've ever found

yourself working really

hard for something and

still not achieving it.

Whether it be, you know,

you tried really hard with

your health and lifestyle,

or something within your

business to grow, but

you're still not there yet.

Or, if you're anything like

me, where I work so hard

that I make it look harder

than what it should be.

I feel like that's something

that's been part of my

identity, to make things

look really hard in order

to be deserving of it.

Okay, sounds crazy, but if

you're anything like that.

This is going to help.

So for me, this book in

the first page or the,

or the second page where

it begins, really kind

of jumped straight at you

and really packs a punch.

Um, where it talks about

a story, of struggle and

effort and hard work,

not leading to anything.

Okay.

And so what this book

really talks about is

making a quantum leap.

So what does that mean?

So in quantum physics, it

uses language from quantum

physics when it talks about

how a particle makes an

explosive jump from one

place to another without

any apparent effort and it

covers all the bases from

start to finish but without

actually doing all the steps.

Okay, so what that means

is that we assume success

is one step at a time.

And when Price Pritchett

is talking about a quantum

leap, we're looking at

jumping from like 0.

1 to 0.

10 without any

apparent effort.

Okay, and he mentions that

this explosive jump in

your personal performance.

puts you far beyond the

next logical step when we're

trying to execute a goal

or anything in our life.

We're always looking

for the steps, right?

Step one, step

two, step three.

And that's great.

And we look at people's

strategies and I

certainly do that too.

And it really helps me

to kind of get a picture,

but he's pointing to

something different.

Okay.

He's really pointing.

to a different place.

So he shares about

relying on unseen forces.

Now, what does that mean?

Okay.

It sounds a little bit

mystical that we're going

to get some intuitive

vibe and we're going

to know what to do.

And it is kind of

like that, right?

So what he's really pointing

to is that an idea from

our subconscious mind, some

intuition or some luck.

Okay.

Now I want to share a story

because when I was stuck

financially in my business

for this online business,

when I started many years ago.

I was working really hard,

not getting anywhere,

feeling very frustrated and

really judging myself and

panicked and had anxiety

about the money situation.

And I felt like I really

threw everything at it.

And I remember one day having

a conversation with my dad

who had been in business, he's

pretty much his whole life.

And I have to mention

that, like, he came to

Australia in his thirties,

he didn't even speak the

language, and he had multiple

businesses in his lifetime

and was very successful.

So, he was someone that

really, I could ask,

that knew about business

and about creating a

successful business.

And I asked him, I said, Have

you ever seen anyone work

this hard and not make money?

And he just thought, he

went, so many people.

And I'll never

forget those words.

Right?

Because it really struck me.

I was like, what?

I always thought hard

work was the way that

you get What you want.

It's the way you achieve your

goals and your results, right?

But really, you know, my dad

said that, you know, if you

look at some businesses they

do, they work very, very

hard and they end up closing

down after a period of time.

And he said it takes, my

dad said this, it takes

a little bit of luck, a

little bit of something

that you're not in charge

of, that you can't create.

It takes a little bit

of something to really

make it a success.

And so what?

Price talks about in this

book is exactly that, right?

It's a little bit of luck.

It's a little bit of

something that gets you

to make this quantum leap.

And for me, my quantum leap

was I had this insight one day

that I realized that Because

I was so stuck in my thinking,

because I was so discouraged,

and everything had failed

up until that point.

So I had a lot of

discouragement.

I had a lot of stories about

how things would pan out.

And I had this

insight about that.

I could see that

I had this story.

And, you know, I remember in

a coaching session, my coach

said, Well, not everything

you do is going to work out.

And That seems pretty obvious,

but for me, it sparked an

insight and I could really

see my mind just kind of

went through in like very

rapid succession, all the

stories that I had in my head.

And so the next thing

that I was implementing.

I thought, you know what,

I'm not going to get

discouraged, and I'm not

going to stop what I'm doing.

Because what I found was,

my discouragement would

change my behaviours, so I

wouldn't do things fully.

I would already be like,

day one, oh this is already

not going to work out, I can

already see this is just going

to be like everything else.

And then I wouldn't be

100 percent in, right?

I would be already

20 percent out.

And as each day went

on, I was even more out.

So I wouldn't do, wouldn't

send the emails, wouldn't

do the things that I needed

to do in order to get the

results that I wanted.

Right.

And after that insight, the

next thing that I was putting

out there, the thoughts did

come up, the discouragement

was there, but I realized

from the insight that Oh,

this is what I do every time.

Okay.

I'm going to ignore

it this time and let's

see where it goes.

And honestly, just that

was enough for me to

see that how much I was

holding myself back.

So that was my subconscious

mind kicking in and

giving me an insight to

say, Hey, stop stopping.

Okay.

Not everything you do

is going to work out.

Stop stopping.

And that insight

radically changed my

business and my life.

Okay.

And I, and I'm not

even exaggerating.

It's.

It was a complete game

changer for me and not in

all insights are like that,

but that one really was and

it stays with me forever.

The power of a clear mind.

And that's also what Price

Pritchard says in this book

is that clear understanding of

where we're going and moving

in that direction, taking

action in that direction.

So it's not saying that we're

not working towards our goals

and making the health changes.

We want to be open to unseen

forces to come in for support.

So don't, you know, often

the best we can do is what

we've done in the past.

Okay.

We're not, you know, I

always say the reason why

I share stuff like this is

because one, we put a lot

of pressure on ourselves.

We put a lot of judgment when

things don't work out our way.

I know I did.

I was judging my personality,

who I was as a person,

how good enough I was.

Right.

And.

The truth is, we just don't

make as much stuff happen

as we think we do, okay?

There is unseen forces

that step in and make our

road a lot easier, give

us more direction, help us

to have that quantum leap.

So, wherever you are, In

your journey towards your

goals, I want you to find

a way that you can open

yourself up to unseen forces,

and maybe that is getting

more clarity, you know?

I find when I'm stuck getting

the same results, and I'm

so busy, and I don't think

I've got time, I really

have to pull back and stop.

And take a day, maybe it's

more than a day, to just

sit with pen, paper, go

outside, be nature, whatever

it is, let my mind kind of

uncoil and get more clarity

because it's from the clarity

that we get, our best ideas

and our best direction.

Okay.

And so this is again,

really tapping into the

subconscious mind, but we

can't use it as a strategy.

Sometimes I do it because

I know it feels right to

pull back in that moment.

But we want to be open

to those unseen forces,

however that looks for you.

So let me know in the

comments below if you see the

comment box, how can you open

yourself up to unseen forces?

What could you do to get

a different perspective or

get a different idea or an

insight about how to achieve

your goal with a lot more

ease or without any struggle

or very little effort?
