EPS 40: how boring breeds success
"The connection between boring and success is that what is boring to you could be revolutionary to someone else."
-Lia Dunlap (08:41-08:47)
Have you ever gotten bored with something you've done over and over again? And when someone asks you to do it again, you feel like you couldn't do it one more time. We can't deny that there's that one thing that we've done so often that it becomes by rote. Here’s the secret - boring builds success. And, I’ll tell you why in the 40th episode of the Oracle On Purpose podcast.
We'll find answers to questions like, "Does your business need to follow a trend?" and "How can you make use of the boring stuff as an entrepreneur?"
Part One of 'How Boring Breeds Success.'
Have you ever gone to a concert and during the concert, even though the band is putting out a new album, there is always a large group in the crowd that wants the good old songs, the oldies but goodies? They're chanting for them, and they're cheering them on. But why?
The reason is, as humans, we like consistency. If you doubt that, imagine right now that we were to roll back the time and get back to November of 2019, where things were running by rote in our lives until they weren't anymore. Everyone was pining for the good old days. There is something about that consistency that, as human beings, we get comfortable with, and we like to have that—that's a security for us.
"As humans, we like consistency." -Lia Dunlap (01:19-01:22)
Here's the trick in business, as entrepreneurs and especially as creators, we feel like we always have to create something new. There's an itch in us to build, create, and grow. So if that's you, don't feel bad and recognize that what helps create long term success for any business is the boring stuff. By boring, I mean the things that are tried and true. The things that you know, and you can share repeatedly. And, for you, it might seem boring.
I came upon this situation myself. I took a break from a program that I'd been running for years. I started in 1994, and I could show up and run that program in my sleep. I kept saying the same thing over and over again, and at one point, I felt like, "Oh, I need something new,” "I need a new challenge.” So, I had to let it go.
I realized that even in the business, when I shifted and started working more with clients, those boring things I always said over and over again, I still needed to say it to them. That boring information was still getting people results because they were tried and true.
Part Two of 'How Boring Breeds Success.'
Look around and think for yourself, “Is there something that you've got that to you seems like you could do naturally?” We are talking about that thing that you do that feels like old hat. You’ve done it before, and you can do it again with your eyes closed. The reason that the information is being called from you is that it works.
The trap is when we always need something different, new, or innovative, and we lose sight of the core of what we have to offer. And that moment when you start to understand that what those parts of your work are that might seem boring to you are revolutionary to other people.
I am working on some projects with a client. She got to a point where she was saying, "Other people already said the things I'm saying. So who's going to listen to me?"
I told her, " People need to hear it from you. There is a certain vibration, a certain language you and only you speak that shares that message in your unique way. Those that need to hear it from you can hear it. And even though the information may be boring to you, because you know it by heart, it doesn't mean that someone new coming to it won't be able to see and achieve results based on that new knowledge.
It's interesting to me because I, too, have fallen prey to that. I thought that I had to recreate all these things. What's beautiful about it is I've come home, back to understanding the beauty of the core of the message, those core tenants I teach. They've stood the test of time. I continue to share them, and there are still people who haven't put them together in that same way yet. And when they do, I'm 110% confident that they will get results.
"If your knowledge is getting client’s results, it's solid.” -Lia Dunlap (07:44-07:56)
What's boring to you is something of value to someone else. Now, this isn't to say that you can't spice things up. It's that you don't have to recreate it. If it's genuinely a core function or pillar of your business and it's something that always works, you should continue to do it. It's going to get that desired result.
How you deliver it can be in how you engage with the people that you're working with. But the tenants, the core fundamentals of what you are sharing, they get to stay the same. Rather than seeing the boring stuff as a detriment to your business, consider it as foundational pieces that keep your business strong. You can always count on them to get results.
I want to encourage you not to chase down the new and shiny things. Look at what you have to offer your clients and put them at the forefront. In the end, no matter what you do, whether you're a coach, a real estate agent, a business leader or, an entrepreneur who's got a startup, no matter what, you're a genius.

EPS 39: how to turn bad news into an opportunity
"When things go wrong, it doesn't mean that everything's wrong. See it as the way the universe is reorganizing itself to provide you something better."
-Lia Dunlap (04:04-04:23)
How do you handle bad news? Is there such a thing as bad news? If you get what others might perceive as bad news, do you react in a way they expect you to respond? Or do you react curiously, responsively, and openly?
In this week's episode, join me and learn how to turn every bad news that comes your way into an opportunity.
Part One of 'How To Turn Bad News Into An Opportunity.'
A book by Robert Fulghum called 'All I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten' is a bunch of essays. In one of the essays, he talked about problems versus inconvenience. The premise was that the person he was speaking to was a survivor of the Holocaust. In the conversation, they were talking about something he was complaining about. Then he asked, "Was it a problem, or is it an inconvenience? I want to take that one step further and say, "Is it a problem, an inconvenience, or an opportunity?"
The topic that we're going to discuss today came up to me because I'm currently moving. Our home was inspected, and it's a very old home. Of course, many things that an old home has that new homes do not have. So many things are going to come upon the inspection. When the realtor called, he said, "This might be challenging the deal because there are these problems that came up."
During our conversation, he was feeling concerned about having to share what he called bad news.
"If something is happening, it's happening so that things get better so that things evolve, and so that people are moved around into the right spot to get what they need." -Lia Dunlap (05:09-05:22)
My core belief is that the universe is always working on my side, always working things out for me. I then look at the bad news as an opportunity.
Perhaps there's a new buyer who is waiting for this home. I believe that there is the right person to be the owner of our home who will see it for all the amazing things it is and want it just the way it is.
I can choose how I perceive what I'm experiencing based on my own beliefs about the world —and so do you.
Part Two of 'How To Turn Bad News Into An Opportunity.'
Do you expect that when things go wrong, that's a sign that everything's wrong? Try to look at it as the way the universe is reorganizing itself to provide you something better.
That is what it means to live in not a problem, not the inconvenience, but in possibility. Living in the best possible possibility has value, has joy, and has ease in it.
"To live a life of significance means understanding that every moment is an opportunity. There's a possibility in everything that's in front of us if we choose to look for it." -Lia Dunlap (06:34-06:53)
You can look at the things that come up along the way and know that you can choose every moment to look for the opportunity, not just for yourself, but for the way that the universe wants to evolve.
My encouragement for you today is to decide about what's happening around you right now? How is that working for you? What are you receiving from this experience?
I guarantee you; there's something in it for you. And if you look for that, you'll find it. It all comes down to what do you want your experience of the bad news to be.

EPS 38: Deciding to live on purpose
"Making a decision can put you on the path of fulfilling your purpose."
-Lia Dunlap (02:17-02:27)
Have you contemplated the passing of family members, the deaths of people you've known in communities, and watching people come to grips with the finiteness of life, the idea and the concept of a life lost too soon?
Do you have questions like, "Have they fulfilled their purpose in life?” or "How about me, what's my purpose in life?" In today's episode, let's learn how to make decisions to live on purpose.
Part One of 'Deciding to Live on Purpose.'
Has a loved one passed away and didn't get that chance or have yet to finish or complete what they wanted to do in the world?
Never let the same thing happen to you. Making a decision can put you on the path of fulfilling your purpose. And when you do so, when you constantly make one decision after the other with your purpose in mind, you're tapping into the flow of life force you're part of.
And you're leaving these ripples, you're leaving these impressions on the world, whether we are doing it on purpose or not.
Your purpose is tied to the impact you make. Each of us, even in our failings and befuddlement, has an impact. Each of us steps into the day, making an impact.
And when you or someone you know and love passes, dies the impact they've already had on others doesn't go away. Their absence, the vacuum they've left, also has an impact.
"Even the smallest thing that we are, when we're truly uniquely ourselves, can make the most profound impact." - Lia Dunlap (06:02-06:11)
When we think of the impact, we often push ourselves that it has to be big, it has to bold. It has to be vivid or expansive or change the world. That is an idealized version of impact. Essentially, even the smallest thing that we are, when we're genuinely uniquely ourselves, can make the most profound impact.
Part Two of 'Deciding to Live on Purpose.'
In those daily moments that we tap into our hearts and minds, our inner knowing is telling us that it's ours to do and follow-through to get the best of our purpose.
Whenever you're stuck in a place of thinking that we're not doing enough, it's a lie.
The universe is one song, and one song requires harmony. All of the little notes, all of the tiny facets of who we are, are part of that song. Being off-key comes from being out of alignment. But the purist note is still inside of us. The purest part of who we are and the unique flavor that we add. That's in us all the time.
"It's a lie that you're not doing enough and that whatever you are right now isn't enough. You're here. Your voice matters. Your ideas matter. Your point of view matters." - Lia Dunlap (06:54-07:09)
We don't always know how it's going to matter once we're gone. We don't know what will be completely transformed and changed by what we said or how we work or the product or service we put into the world.
But, without a doubt that whatever that is, it's all ready right now in you, and therefore you are enough. Consequently, you are precisely the person you were meant to be at this moment. It's not about creating something different. It's about expressing your whole beingness in a way that the world hums.
If you permit yourself to act on the decision, you will be in alignment, and you will be on purpose, and you will have the impact that you're meant to have on the world. It's that simple.

EPS 37: doubts, desires, and the power of decision: how the secret & what the bleep got it wrong
“Stop hiding behind your excuses and show up 100%.”
Lia Dunlap (04:15-04:18)
Self-doubt is a persuasive voice that holds us back when we're trying to seize our opportunities. How can you overcome it so that you can move forward once again? In this week's episode, we're going to discuss doubts, desires, and the power of decision making.
Part One of ‘Doubts, Desires, and the POWER of Decision: How the Secret & What the Bleep Got it Wrong’
A lot of people are dying right now around the world. Some are leaving this planet with work left undone. Today, take the time to listen to that small voice inside your heart. Don't let anything distract you from understanding what that pure voice has to say. Let go of your excuses and remove your mask. It's time for you to make decisions based on your purpose.
“You can't carry the heavy burdens of your past into your next level.” - Lia Dunlap (08:48-09:05)
The old wounds, the things that we think make us wrong are not going to help us move to the next level. Ascending to the next level will always require you to set your heavy burdens aside. Say YES to your inner calling and focus on the unique journey ahead of you. Be bold and unapologetic enough to move forward.

What if you were even better than you could have ever imagined? And what if someone is desperately waiting for you to show up? If you've missed many opportunities, the moral lesson isn't to blame yourself or beat yourself up, but to recognize that the next time it happens again, you must decide to do something different. Do something that is aligned with who you are.
“Knowing your purpose is the key to the freedom you seek.” - Lia Dunlap (13:10-13:15)
Sometimes, it's much easier for people to say that they're messed up, at least from a surface level. I have gone through places where I let those doubts take over. It's because I hadn't positioned myself to make the decision based on my purpose. So, the next time you find yourself in a place where you're choosing without that real authentic center, ask yourself who's going to miss out? What is the world losing when you don't show up? It's never too late for you to make 2020 your best year ever.

Self-doubt is a persuasive voice that holds us back when we're trying to seize our opportunities. How can you overcome it so that you can move forward once again? In this week's episode, we're going to discuss doubts, desires, and the power of decision making.
Part One of ‘Doubts, Desires, and the POWER of Decision: How the Secret & What the Bleep Got it Wrong’
A lot of people are dying right now around the world. Some are leaving this planet with work left undone. Today, take the time to listen to that small voice inside your heart. Don't let anything distract you from understanding what that pure voice has to say. Let go of your excuses and remove your mask. It's time for you to make decisions based on your purpose.
“You can't carry the heavy burdens of your past into your next level.” - Lia Dunlap (08:48-09:05)
The old wounds, the things that we think make us wrong are not going to help us move to the next level. Ascending to the next level will always require you to set your heavy burdens aside. Say YES to your inner calling and focus on the unique journey ahead of you. Be bold and unapologetic enough to move forward.

EPS 36: It's time to kick doubt in the face!
“Access to your next greatest unfoldment is literally in your hands.”
Lia Dunlap (06:14-06:19)
How do we move through the process of shifting from negative thoughts to affirmations? From positive thoughts that help us move forward versus those negative deep-seated misconceptions and beliefs that can tangle us around the ankles and pull us off our feet? In this week’s episode, let’s kick self-doubt in the face so you can live your dreams.
Part One of ‘It's Time to Kick Doubt in the Face!’
How many times have you allowed self-doubt to take authority in your life? For some of you, it stayed at the driver’s seat for such a long time that you lost your way and completely forgot what you’re capable of.
Notice that whenever you try to take a bigger, better, broader, and bolder leap, your limiting beliefs threaten to pull you back. You can’t change the past, but you can always change the present and make it worth remembering. Let your dreams be more significant than your frustrations and fears.
“Every breathing human has something significant to offer.” - Lia Dunlap (09:29-09:35)
Part Two of ‘It's Time to Kick Doubt in the Face!’
Your unique life purpose is always bubbling to the surface. It’s always looking for ways to come into play in your life. You can be the master creator of your reality. And if there’s something about you that you don’t like, you’re a part of helping change that.
“Something inside of you already knows how phenomenal you are.” - Lia Dunlap (10:57-11:02)
If you want abundance to manifest into your life, you must remind yourself through positive affirmations. Self-doubt can serve as a mirror for you to see the aspects of your life that require development. Don’t worry; we’re all a work in progress. It’s okay to go through life at your own pace.

EPS 35: how hindsight helps with clarity of purpose
“There is POWER in remembering what you've always wanted to do.”
Lia Dunlap (03:38-03:56)
Do you feel disconnected from your life purpose? If so, you probably missed a lot of opportunities in the past. But today is ours to win, rediscover and start again. Let’s do it together. In this week’s episode, Lia Dunlap talks about how hindsight helps with clarity of purpose.
Part One of ‘How Hindsight Helps with Clarity of Purpose’
Do you feel like you’re giving your best shot, but not developing and prospering the way you want? If yes, let’s take a moment to pause and reflect. Many people struggle with the idea of committing to their life purpose.
“Purpose isn't about how you will make money, but it doesn't mean that purpose won't bring prosperity.” – Lia Dunlap (09:05-09:14)
Purpose isn’t just something that’s necessarily tied to anything that generates revenue for you. It doesn’t mean that purpose won’t bring wealth into your life either. Purpose gives you the strength to do whatever you want without requiring any stamp of approval. It gives you the power to know your worth.
Part Two of ‘How Hindsight Helps with Clarity of Purpose’
All of us had this dream or vision of what we wanted to achieve even when we were still young. Think about the things you love to do more than anything else and revisit your biggest WHY because that’s where your purpose lies. You can always acquire a lot of things, but the question is, will they make you feel fulfilled and happy in the long run?
“The moment you took your first breath, you were granted permission to follow your purpose.” – Lia Dunlap (16:07-16:12)
What’s that craziest childhood dream that you’ve always wanted to pursue? Quit pushing the wrong message, sharing the wrong ideas and accepting the wrong opportunities. Your unique life purpose is meant to position you in a place where you’re confident about what you bring to the table.

EPS 34: Magnify your purpose! how to stay visible in troubled times with jill Lublin
“If you promise to offer authenticity, you better deliver.”
Lia Dunlap (04:09-04:12)
Visibility is not something that everybody is called to do, but as a society, that's how we connect and learn from each other. We all have a story to tell! As you build your visibility, especially during this pandemic, many people can benefit from your story. Let's discuss how you can magnify your purpose and stay visible during troubled times with my guest Jill Lublin.
Part One of ‘Magnify Your Purpose! How to Stay Visible in Troubled Times’
With 200+ speaking engagements each year, master publicity strategist and consultant, and bestselling author, Jill Lublin, consistently wows audiences worldwide with her entertaining and interactive keynotes, seminars, and training programs on publicity, networking, and influence marketing.
Jill has shared her powerful networking and publicity strategies on the stages of Tony Robbins, T. Harv Eker, Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Loral Langemeier, and many others. Additionally, thousands of people have attended her famous "Crash Course in Publicity," which she teaches live several times a month at locations around the U.S. and Canada.
Over the past 25 years, Jill has worked with ABC, NBC, CBS, and other national and international media outlets as highly regarded publicity experts. She has been featured in The New York Times, Women's Day, Fortune Small Business, Entrepreneur, and Inc. magazines.
“Keep putting yourselves out there in small ways until attraction marketing happens. Make people want to work with you.” – Jill Lublin (09:34-10:20)
Jill is the author of four bestselling books, including Get Noticed… Get Referrals (McGraw-Hill), Networking Magic (Morgan James), and Guerrilla Publicity (Adams Media), which is regarded as the "PR Bible," and her latest book The Profit of Kindness (Career Press), which went #1 in four categories. With four international bestselling books, Jill is acknowledged as the go-to person for building success through influence marketing, networking, and publicity. She helps authors to create book deals with agents and publishers and well as obtain foreign rights deals.
In addition to her speaking engagements, Jill trains and consults with executives, sales teams, and marketing departments in Fortune 500 companies and small-to-medium-sized companies. Her innovative influence, marketing, and publicity techniques consistently increase bottom-line results for her clients.
Part Two of ‘Magnify Your Purpose! How to Stay Visible in Troubled Times’
I usually ask my guest this question, "How do you find alignment with your purpose and business genius in the work that you're doing today?"
Jill responds that she was a shy person back then, which doesn't seem congruent with who she is now. Now, she calls herself a messenger of messengers because she has a natural ability to see her clients as people who have a valuable message to share whatever their businesses are. And that's where her gift as a great connector helps other people find their message so that publicity can be more natural for them. Thus, they can get the things that every business owner desires, such as prospects, profits, recognition, and credibility.
The next question is, how can you stay visible in troubled times? Jill says, it’s all about being aware of what's going on right now and see where you can fit in. It doesn't matter what industry you're in, whether you're an author, speaker, consultant, coach, chiropractor, or real estate agent, being a trusted source is the #1 thing you should focus on to attract new customers.
Jill recommends following reporters who write about your message. This tactic works! Don’t just go follow them and say, “pick me!” You engage with them and provide the right solutions to become the trusted source.
“You need to start living an intentional life.” - Lia Dunlap (10:57)
Another tactic for visibility is to publish a book. It positions yourself well, too. Lisa has helped people get major book deals with major publishers for over 18 years, including several who have six-figure book deals, which is almost unheard of in today's market. Those are the people who had enormous publicity and influence, but they still sought help to make their goals happen. Jill's perspective is, "Nothing good is done without a team." You need people around you to make things happen.
Make sure that you take everything that Jill says, so you can get clear, get your message out, and share your purpose with the world.

EPS 33: how to you know following your purpose will bring success?
“The quality of your life and the work that you do is inherently tied to your purpose.”
Lia Dunlap (03:42-03:48)
How do you permit yourself to honor your purpose? You know that something's calling you because that's where the question came from in the first place. I've always believed that the quality of your life and the work that you do is inherently tied to your purpose. In this week’s episode, Lia Dunlap talks about how you can figure out that following your purpose will bring success.
Part One of ‘How Do You Know Following Your Purpose Will Bring Success?’
One of the most common questions I hear people ask is, "How do I know if I'm meant to follow this purpose? How do I know that I will succeed if I take this leap?" I love these questions for two main reasons.
First, something inside of that person is starting to bubble to the surface. It's that moment where the thought keeps nagging them. Have you ever imagined yourself sitting in a meeting or a zoom call, feeling like everything you do is pointless? They struggle to be where they are because their mind is so pulled away in different directions. Second, it speaks to the fact that these people are running empty for so long.
“Have an actual written down plan and align it with what you are truly meant to be doing so that you can live a life of purpose, prosperity, and significance.” - Lia Dunlap (21:00-20:59)
I understand many people have not figured out their purpose in life. The truth is, it’s not for me to answer that for everyone. It’s for YOU to gain the confidence to know that for yourself because you’re longing for a sense of fulfillment. The beauty of your purpose is that it can be found right where you are right now. Now, ask yourself, what does that look like?
You’ll know when you’re aligned with your purpose because it reflects on how you show up in the room or any environment in a way that brings exactly what you're meant to bring to the table.
Part Two of ‘How Do You Know Following Your Purpose Will Bring Success?’
At the end of the day, do you feel anxious? Do you feel underaccomplished? Do you feel like you're almost there but not quite yet? It looks as if you can touch or taste it, but it's not quite substantial.
I spent much time early on in my career trying to live in two worlds, and I’ve gained much knowledge along the way. Back in the corporate world, when I was into sales and marketing operations, somebody used to bring me their idea for a business or an entrepreneurial endeavor. I can immediately envision it and see how the structure works. So, I didn’t lose any of that while following my unique life purpose.
“Once you start to align with who you are, the opportunities begin to flood in to support you.” - Lia Dunlap (22:46-22:57)
Think about it. When are you going to be ready to put down all of the excuses? To focus on the opportunities that may get you to the next level. To wake up in the morning and know the clients you're serving, they get the absolute best from you. And by giving it to them, you’re eager to talk to the next person to pick up the phone. To get on the next Zoom call, not because it's just another one thing on your list, but because you know that’s the impact you've always wanted to make. To be excited to work on the first book you’ve been dying to write.
I know what it's like to think that it can't be that easy. Somehow, it's got to be hard. Somehow you got to pay the price. But how long until you realize that you’re ready? Have an actual written down plan about how you can take everything you have to offer right now, align it with what you are truly meant to be doing and deliver it to the world so that you can live a life of purpose, prosperity, and significance.

EPS 32: how daily acts of presence lead to fulfilling your purpose with diane forster
“I'm creating female leaders who will live confidently and intentionally every day
of their life.”
Diane Forster (11:42-11:56)
We all have moments in our lives that can be considered “defining moments” that changed our life trajectory. In this week’s episode, we’re going to talk about how the daily acts of presence lead to fulfilling your purpose, together with my special guest, Diane Forster.
Part One of ‘How Daily Acts of Presence Lead to Fulfilling Your Purpose with Diane Forster’
Diane Forster is an Award-Winning Inventor, Best Selling Author, TEDx Speaker, TV Host, Podcaster, Intentional Living Expert and Re-Invention Specialist. She helps you clear away negative mindset blocks and limiting beliefs that hinder your success and happiness. Diane is the Founder of I HAVE TODAY. She is also the author of “I HAVE TODAY: Find Your Passion, Purpose and Smile... Finally!”
Her TV Show along with her Podcast is called, “I HAVE TODAY with Diane Forster” and all her other products/programs help people live enriched, empowered, inspiring lives through their transitions, to reinvent themselves.
Diane’s career began in Advertising and TV sales, including DISNEY/ABC. She is also the inventor of the INNOVATION AWARD WINNING product “The SPIFTER” a fun kitchen tool. Diane has been featured on ABC, QVC, The Chicago Tribune, San Diego Voyager, Business News Daily and many other TV, Radio and Podcast shows.
“Live and follow your purpose so that you can have a life of significance.” - Lia Dunlap (22:24-22:33)
Diane has mastered the art of being intentional. In the past, she felt unhappy and unfulfilled every day. She didn't love and value herself. But she learned so many things along the way about purpose and intention. During her spiritual awakening, she woke up one day with a poem in her head. It is called I HAVE TODAY.
It's about realizing that we all have today to start fresh and new. We have today to see things with new eyes. We have today to be gentle and kind. We have today to nurture our spirit, mind and body. We have today to pray and meditate. We have today to be more beautiful than yesterday. She was able to overcome the unhappiness that she felt for such a long time and declared that she wanted an extraordinary life.
Her mantra every day is "I have today to love my life. Something good is going to happen to me today. I can feel it." It's like giving an order to the universe to surprise her with miracles no matter how big or small they may be. Where you are right now is a gift. You're exactly where you're supposed to be.
Part Two of ‘How Daily Acts of Presence Lead to Fulfilling Your Purpose with Diane Forster’
Diane tells a powerful story about when she tried to attempt suicide. During her suicide attempt, she had the pills in her hand ready to end her life because she chose to hide all the pain, the unfulfillment and unhappiness, and it came to the point where everything was too much for her to handle.
She suddenly heard a voice, "You are not ending your life this way, Diane. You need to go get help so that you can tell your story and you can help others." So, that was an emotional experience or defining moment that made her realize that she's supposed to help other women who don't know their self-worth, discover their true divinity, power and purpose.
“Your story is unique and not worthy of comparison.” - Lia Dunlap (22:49-23:01)
She utilizes the multimedia platforms as a way to help people who are suffering with feelings of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts to provide them the resources and tools for self-empowerment.
Here's her crystal-clear definition of success which we can all learn something from: “The definition of success is happiness. If you're living a true authentic representation of yourself and you're really clear about what you want and why you want it, your purpose will drop in your lap. It'll be right in front of you and you'll get up every day excited about the day in front of you. And even on the days when it's no more challenging than others, it will still drive you. It will still excite you. It will still move you forward.”

EPS 31: Raising consciousness in the world and sparking unity through stories
“Keep moving forward no matter what your story is.”
Lia Dunlap (03:15-03:24)
Are you wondering how good it feels to wake up every day doing something that you love? Most people don’t realize the power they have in their hands to pursue the life they’ve always dreamed of. In this week’s episode, let’s raise consciousness in the world and spark unity through stories with Parchelle Tashi.
Part One of ‘Raising Consciousness in The World and Sparking Unity Through Stories’
Parchelle Tashi, is a former high school teacher, now entrepreneur and video producer for the past 10 years. Her production company Fresh Level, built up multiple locations of operations, producing videos nationally and internationally for organizations like SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, The Wharton School, and Spectrum.
It wasn't until she ended her 28-year-long devoted relationship with the church, that Parchelle began to discover who SHE really is. This experience has completely transformed her life and the way she serves others today. Whether consulting, producing, or teaching, for Parchelle, it's about creating a lasting impact in the world, one video at a time.
“Becoming aware of my emotions helped me recognize my inner guidance.” - Parchelle Tashi (08:02-08:14)
Parchelle shares that she finds alignment with her purpose, business genius and production in her work through remaining focused on her journey instead of other people’s accomplishments. Growing up, the church was very much part of her life until she decided to take a Master's Degree in Theology. But somewhere along the way, she had to step back to figure out her real identity.
She connected with a business coach and some good people that encouraged her to quit teaching in exchange for running her own production company. Now, she has a teen video academy where she teaches teenagers from the ages of 12 to 18 to build up their confidence.
Part Two of ‘Raising Consciousness in The World and Sparking Unity Through Stories’
As for Parchelle, intentionally creating videos are a huge part of how we as a planet rise in our consciousness and our self-awareness to see ourselves as more than we are.

Are you wondering how good it feels to wake up every day doing something that you love? Most people don’t realize the power they have in their hands to pursue the life they’ve always dreamed of. In this week’s episode, let’s raise consciousness in the world and spark unity through stories with Parchelle Tashi.
Part One of ‘Raising Consciousness in The World and Sparking Unity Through Stories’
Parchelle Tashi, is a former high school teacher, now entrepreneur and video producer for the past 10 years. Her production company Fresh Level, built up multiple locations of operations, producing videos nationally and internationally for organizations like SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, The Wharton School, and Spectrum.
It wasn't until she ended her 28-year-long devoted relationship with the church, that Parchelle began to discover who SHE really is. This experience has completely transformed her life and the way she serves others today. Whether consulting, producing, or teaching, for Parchelle, it's about creating a lasting impact in the world, one video at a time.
“Becoming aware of my emotions helped me recognize my inner guidance.” - Parchelle Tashi (08:02-08:14)
Parchelle shares that she finds alignment with her purpose, business genius and production in her work through remaining focused on her journey instead of other people’s accomplishments. Growing up, the church was very much part of her life until she decided to take a Master's Degree in Theology. But somewhere along the way, she had to step back to figure out her real identity.
She connected with a business coach and some good people that encouraged her to quit teaching in exchange for running her own production company. Now, she has a teen video academy where she teaches teenagers from the ages of 12 to 18 to build up their confidence.
Part Two of ‘Raising Consciousness in The World and Sparking Unity Through Stories’
As for Parchelle, intentionally creating videos are a huge part of how we as a planet rise in our consciousness and our self-awareness to see ourselves as more than we are.
The best way to do that is to see the stories of each other. While teenagers have a special place in her heart, she believes that everybody has the ability to create and share an amazing story even if some people think they have a boring story.
“We are here on purpose to deliver something that's uniquely ours.” - Lia Dunlap (20:16-20:19)
Here's the cool thing about sharing stories through videos, you could become well-known for your work. Just like Parchelle, we are here on purpose to deliver something that's uniquely ours. Don't let anything stop you from showing up and living your purpose.

EPS 30: The Purpose & prosperity of making a difference to the people you serve with ken bator
“We all have a story to tell.”
Ken Bator (12:15-12:17)
As an intuitive business architect, I spend a lot of time helping people stay aligned with their life purpose and deliver what they're meant to deliver to the world. In this week's episode, I have invited Kenneth Bator as my guest. He loves creating environments where employees want to come to work and customers want to keep coming back. He’s a perfect fit for this week’s topic — the purpose & prosperity of making a difference to the people that we serve.
Part One of ‘The Purpose & Prosperity of Making a Difference to the People You Serve with Ken Bator’
Ken is the founder of Bator Training & Consulting, Inc. (BTC), as well as the Police Officers’ Credit Union Association (POCUA), and has more than 20 years of experience in helping organizations reach new levels of effectiveness by aligning their brand, culture, and strategy.
He is the author of The Formula for Business Success = B + C + S and The Pocket Guide to Strategic Planning: The 90-Day Quick Fix for the Business Owner or Manager. Ken has hosted and produced four separate shows including Branding the Experience, Cool Culture Corner, the CU Business News Podcast, and Beyond the Call.
His articles have appeared in many trade publications including The Credit Union Journal, Lifestyle Entrepreneur, CU Business Magazine, ABA Bank Marketing, and as one of the first category directors of the recently launched Podcast Magazine. Ken is a well sought-after speaker and has presented during several conferences, both in-person and virtually, worldwide including an appearance as an “Icon of Influence” during the New Media Summit.
Born and raised in Chicago, he earned a BS in Finance and an MBA in Entrepreneurship from DePaul University as well as a Certification in Integrated Marketing from the University of Chicago. Ken currently resides in Southern California with his wife, Pegi. BTC is headquartered in Orange, CA.
“We all have something to offer.” – Lia Dunlap (14:13-14:14)
There is a purpose and prosperity of making a difference to the people we serve. But, how do we get into that cornerstone of alignment?
One way to do so is to think about the famous brands that you know and reflect on the unique story behind their brand. From a business standpoint, it's important to remember that you need to put an image out there that's not only going to attract business but also going to be supported by the culture.
For example, if you're running a restaurant business targeted for families, you can't put an image out there that you're this "great family restaurant" and then tolerate a culture where everybody's swearing. That's obviously not a family image that you should be promoting. So, if you tell the story right, people get to have that unique piece of who you are.
Part Two of ‘The Purpose & Prosperity of Making a Difference to the People You Serve with Ken Bator’
Considering there’s a pandemic, there’s been a spotlight on what’s working and what’s not working for many businesses. Ken mentions that his clients aren’t always aware of what's wrong with their business. But somehow, they have an intuition that there's something that's blocking them from going to the next level.
Take a moment to reflect on how you can impact the world through your vision. Remember, we all have something amazing to offer. Being in alignment with your life purpose enables you to reach new levels of effectiveness in business no matter what the new normal is.
“We have to take care of ourselves so we can take care of others.” - Lia Dunlap (17:17-17:19)
Many working professionals and entrepreneurs have transitioned to a virtual space since the COVID-19 lockdown started, so a lot of the new normal has something to do with technology.
Let’s say your gym is closed and there’s no way as a fitness trainer for you to interact physically with your customers. But alternatively, you can utilize tools like Zoom to connect with them and still provide a great experience for them.
We all want to be remembered for the great work that we do. Let’s keep focusing on the positive side and take advantage of the opportunity that we’re given to contemplate how we can do business differently and better than it was before. Don’t stop making a difference because the marketplace needs you more than ever.

EPS 29: Leadership lesson: the power of listening deeply with james robilotta
“There's such power in listening deeply to another human being.”
Lia Dunlap (10:57-11:03)
Every person has the freedom to choose the life they want to live in. In this week's episode, we're going to take a moment to reflect on if we're currently in alignment with our goals. And how to be heard, seen, and recognized in a valuable way. Let's talk about the power of listening deeply with my special guest, James Robilotta.
Part One of ‘Leadership Lesson: The POWER of Listening Deeply with James Robilotta’
James Robilotta is an author, professional speaker, personal coach, and entrepreneur trained in stand-up and improv comedy. He's been speaking professionally to willing and unwilling audiences for years and has found that quality humor — not your slapstick, dad-joke humor — is the secret to hosting powerful conversations and making a real impact. His audiences leave feeling happier and ready to take on their responsibilities and the world.
He loves working with colleges, corporations, associations, and individuals with a focus on authentic leadership. With a bajillion takes on leadership out there, he continues to stand out by focusing on something other authors and speakers won’t touch: imperfection.
In 2015, James published his first book, Leading Imperfectly: The value of being authentic for leaders, professionals, and human beings. The concepts of authentic leadership and leading imperfectly are the driving forces behind conversations about giving/receiving feedback, rapport building, engagement, increased productivity, retention, promoting memorability, life balance, and more.
Part Two of ‘Leadership Lesson: The POWER of Listening Deeply with James Robilotta’
As a listener, pause for a minute and ask yourself, “am I following my passion, or am I doing what I THINK I’m supposed to do?”
When you take the time to pause and reflect, you realize that “yes, I'm doing the right thing. Let me double down. Or, you know what? Maybe I'm not quite in alignment right now. I need to pivot.”
Everybody has different levels of self-esteem. There may be areas where you feel confident, but there are also areas where you feel low. You think you're not smart enough, wealthy enough, funny enough, or successful enough. Each of these limiting beliefs are a different weight that you carry, but you owe it to yourself to live a life that you love because you are more than enough.
“You Deserve To Be seen. Be held. Be heard.” – Lia Dunlap (11:08-11:11)
The truth is as confident as I perceive James to be, he admitted to having low self-esteem when it comes to taking compliments. Even though he could bring confidence and competence in certain situations, he feels he lacks confidence in other areas. So, as I listened, I was able to hear his vulnerability. And, we don't often go deeper beyond the weather unless we feel safe. James is doing what he teaches leaders to do: be authentic, be vulnerable, and listen. You may never know how impactful your listening is to another human being.
The moral of the story is that we consistently write these stories in our heads that are holding us back from greatness. You don't need to put barriers in your way of becoming who you are authentically. You can be vulnerable and honest. You are here on purpose, and you are enough.

EPS 28: How Purpose & prosperity can revitalize broken communities with shadeed eleazer
“Building a good partnership takes time.”
Shadeed Eleazer (06:10-06:12)
We all have our internal GPS system that guides our steps in life, whether we are working at a job, self-employed or full-time entrepreneurs. In this week's episode, Lia Dunlap talks about how purpose and prosperity can revitalize broken communities with Shadeed Eleazer.
Part One of ‘How Purpose & Prosperity Can Revitalize Broken Communities with Shadeed Eleazer’
Shadeed Eleazer is a US Navy veteran and Baltimore's top small business advisor. He helped six and seven-figure entrepreneurs, influencers, and public figures convert their authority and influence into a steady stream of leads and sales online. He is the leader of the most prominent black business partnership network. As a philanthropist on the east coast of the USA, he has organized communities and developed campaigns that have raised millions of dollars to empower lower-income communities. As a venture capitalist, he has invested in the growth of over two hundred startup businesses through a community fund.
“When you teach others how to fish for themselves, you give someone the ability to manifest their own destiny.” - Shadeed Eleazer (07:32-07:41)
Shadeed has always followed that internal navigation to say what feels right to him. He discovered that in doing business, it makes sense to make a difference along the way. It's not always about going in a direction that makes the most money. His biggest mistake in business was allowing his lack of understanding about the client that he was working with and the revenue that was going to be associated with to take him down a path where the money was more important than the purpose. Since he learned about this particular client, he realized that certain values were not in alignment. So, he made a promise to himself that he would work and empower projects that his unique guest and his unique talents would elevate versus allowing himself to be loaned out to the highest bidder.
He was raised in a family with an entrepreneurial mindset, so he earned his first paycheck at the age of sixteen. And when it comes to business, his unique belief regarding partnerships is that you don't meet someone on the first day and consider that person as your best friend. You don't go on a first date and ask someone for marriage. Partnership is about creating smaller wins and building rapport as the relationship grows.
Part Two of ‘How Purpose & Prosperity Can Revitalize Broken Communities with Shadeed Eleazer’
Shadeed says, it's one thing to be able to give somebody the tools. It's another thing to teach somebody how to build the tools themselves. And so, when you teach others how to fish for themselves, you give someone the ability to write their destiny, and to rewrite generational curses that may have existed before this present day. Entrepreneurship is about making a positive impact and connecting with others. But it's not necessarily giving away funds to every person who is down or struggling with something.
Entrepreneurship is about creating solutions to entrepreneurs that allow us to solve more significant problems for our communities. So, the first step to planting a seed of what's possible for you is to realize that you can't be everyone's hero or role model. You should empower your local heroes like moms, dads, aunts, uncles, and many more, giving them the tools to the ownership mindset so that they can be the role models that plant the seeds within their household.
“When you're able to give the opportunity, VS wait for the opportunity given to you, it changes the whole dynamic.” - Shadeed Eleazer (14:27-14:36)
Do we have a proper seat at the table as business owners vs. being dictated what the solution should be? First, if you have to voice your opinion on a specific topic, you're not, let's say, worried about losing your sponsors or losing your job, you should be able to speak out about what impacts you. Second, issues or horrific things begin to happen. The people you need to discuss the solution with will have greater respect for what you bring to the table. So, ownership in the form of a community of households is the way forward.
In every Facebook private group, every group chat or every email thread, some successful people are fed up with the same news cycle, playing the same over and over injustices. Ownership is a state of mind. It's not something that you turn on or off. And when you're able to give the opportunity versus wait for the opportunity given to you, it changes the whole dynamic. We all have gifts and talents as resources that we can combine to change things that are impacting the world. When you set forth your best intention, what you don't realize some time is the lamps will be lit along the way based on the electricity that your ideas and momentum provide.

There are many different types of books you can write. Depending on the type of book you want to write, you would structure the book differently. Debbi teaches you how to write it, put together the entire book for the authors, have a graphic design cover made, have the book professionally edited, have the authors interviewed AND run the book to a guaranteed international bestseller status.
Next Steps:
If you're ready to be a contributor and write your own chapter in a book, Debbi is looking for authors to write a chapter about a dog in her new anthology compilation book. The anthology book will compile 25 chapters of writer's tales about dogs, the ultimate book for dog lovers. It's daring, dramatic, dastardly, dreamy, demonstrating, descriptive, detailed, and more.
Applications are being accepted NOW and the book will close once 25 authors are aboard.

EPS 27: making peace with your inner critic with micaela passeri
“My vision is for everyone to fully express who they are.”
Micaela Passeri (20:04-20:11)
We all have two different voices inside us and those voices have the power to either lift us up or pull us down. In this week's episode, Lia Dunlap shares the good ways to balance and maintain peace with your inner critic, with her special guest, Micaela Passeri, a fellow movement maker and a brilliant leader.
Part One of ‘Making Peace with Your Inner Critic with Micaela Passeri’
Micaela Passeri is an award-winning Emotional Intelligence and Business Performance Expert, International Speaker, Author and Founder of the Love You Revolution Emotional and Business Mastery training programs. With over 20 years of experience building 6 and 7 figure businesses, Micaela puts her business degree and many certifications to use by transforming high-achieving entrepreneurial women from stuck, stagnant and unfulfilled to happy, liberated, hopeful and healed.
Her work when it comes to identifying and releasing the trapped emotions that prevent success and freedom has helped hundreds of clients boost self-confidence, tap into inner wisdom, increase productivity, banish anxiety and demotivation, cure business stagnation and monetize their business to 6 figures. She is trained in NLP, MER and Emotion Code.
“Life doesn't happen to you. Life happens through you.” - Lia Dunlap (20:51-20:55)
Micaela finds alignment with her purpose and business genius through introspective questioning with her clients. She helps them discover what they love to do, what makes them happy, what their unique life purpose is, and how they can set themselves free from some of the unknown emotional baggage. Alignment is bringing them to feeling better about themselves and knowing what they're meant to bring into this world.
Unfortunately, in her twenties, her father died in a horrible car accident in Bulgaria. She got tied to negative emotions like shame, guilt, failure and betrayal. But along the way, she was able to make peace with it, heal it and raised her emotional intelligence even more. It's not just about moving on from a bad past. It’s about profound healing that happens in the process.
And if there's something huge that needs to be involved in making the healing process possible, that would be forgiveness and self-compassion. Stop beating yourself up too much and setting excessively high expectations. It’s about showing up with grace and doing things better next time if you ever fail at something.
Part Two of ‘Making Peace with Your Inner Critic with Micaela Passeri’
There are four cornerstones of emotional intelligence.
“You have the power to control your emotional intelligence.” - Lia Dunlap (21:01-21:08)
If you want to get in contact with Micaela Passeri, the best way is to go to Facebook and look up her free private mentoring group called Emotional Money Mastery, where she conducts free coaching every week. If you have even just dabbled into this work or are curious, you can request to be added and you'll get to join the group there.

EPS26: Self Sabotaging Behavior During Crisis | Stop Blaming Yourself
Self-Sabotaging Behavior During Crisis | Stop Blaming Yourself
“Stop blaming yourself when things don't go as planned.”
Lia Dunlap (08:27-28:38)
Have you been noticing some self-sabotaging patterns that are hard to get rid of? There's no better opportunity to decide and change it than today. In this week's episode, we're going to start removing the obstacles along your way so you can be the best version of yourself.
Part One of ‘Self-Sabotaging Behavior During Crisis | Stop Blaming Yourself’
Lia recently had a discussion with one of her clients who is struggling with self-sabotaging thought patterns. Not only has it been keeping her client stuck during the current crisis in the world, but it's been keeping her stuck for a long time.
The thing is, even though we have a vision and feel purposeful about what we want to create in the world, somehow, with all of our efforts, we tend to fall further away from it and out of alignment to it.
“Live life at your own pace.” - Lia Dunlap (11:15-11:20)
Eventually, it led to a crystal-clear realization that she was going through the wrong path and had been beating herself up in the process through her negative language. Sometimes, it's the things that we say that holds us back the most. So, having a clear sense of how we speak to ourselves, how we set up our lives, and our work to support the best version of us is essential.
Part Two of ‘Self-Sabotaging Behavior During Crisis | Stop Blaming Yourself’
In case you find yourself stuck in the process, stop blaming yourself because it's not going to help the situation and help you show up in your full excellence. Instead, it's best to take responsibility for your actions and figure out a solution.
You also have to stop comparing yourself with someone who is a hundred steps ahead of you because you never know if they're living a miserable life or not. It's okay to go through life at your own pace.
“You deserve to be valued and appreciated.” - Lia Dunlap (09:59-20:05)
Start believing in yourself. Watch your behavior patterns and listen to your language. You can do this by merely writing down your vision and watch for the places where you create these walls around either what's possible for you or you're putting in blocks that are based around perfection. Know that you are worthy of being recognized, valued, and appreciated.

EP24 - global leadership mentor shares how getting help from the Oracle brought her a breakthrough
“...without you, I would have never got to the total picture.”
Annette Comer
Are you a business leader who wants to earn high revenue while making a difference in the world? Would you like to align your unique life purpose with your business strategy to create stability and lasting fulfillment? Here's an inspiring video testimonial from Annette Comer who is now living her dream because of the Oracle.
Part One of ‘Global Leadership Mentor Shares How Getting Help From The Oracle Brought Her A Breakthrough.’
Annette lives in the quiet mountains of Virginia with her husband Keith. She spent 20 years in the corporate world in a variety of management roles before evolving into the entrepreneur she is today.
“It's time to discover what you're born to do.” - Lia Dunlap
Annette started her career as a mechanical engineer. At different times she was responsible for project engineering, production management, research development, and management at Fortune 500 chemical companies. Most of her colleagues were very linear in their careers, but not her because once she mastered a particular management role, she was ready to move on to the next challenge.
She received two patents and was awarded Woman of The Year by The National Association of Professional Women. Annette is the author of the bestselling book, "Rescue Me! How To Save Yourself and Your Sanity When Things Go Wrong", teaching real solutions and tools to work through tough situations.
She studied at five international universities and has transformed people in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. She had an amazing time studying business around the world. Every place is different in many aspects of how business is conducted, but at the end of the day, no matter where they live, want to be respected and treated like valuable human beings.
When Annette first met Lia, she sensed that she was very intuitive and very present. She knew that Lia could see through a fork and provide answers that perhaps that she couldn’t see.
Part Two of ‘Global Leadership Mentor, shares how getting help from the Oracle brought her a breakthrough.’
Here are the reasons why getting help from the Oracle brought Annette Comer a breakthrough:
“Lia was very concise when it comes to delivery. Many coaches that are helping people reach their full potential go around in circles, spin the story or they'll deliver worn-out concepts.” - Annette Comer
She said, “Lia's leadership was very refreshing and full of tremendous value. She's able to deliver with power and confidence. Lia can easily recognize when people are ready to move forward and step into their potential.”

EP23 - tHE PURPOSE OF GRACEFUL REVOLUTION IN CHANGING TIMES WITH MELISSA BIRD
“Tapping into our intuition is the biggest thing.”
Lia Dunlap (06:44-06:47)
You are here on earth for a purpose. The way you are, who you are, and what you have to offer. Do one thing every day that scares you. If you haven't been living by that mantra for decades, you're missing the opportunity to engage in something every day that can push you outside of your comfort zone.
In this week’s episode, you’ll learn about:
Part One of ‘The Purpose of Graceful Revolution in Changing Times with Melissa Bird’
Dr. Melissa Bird has given hundreds of speeches and workshops across the country, including speaking to audiences at University of Missouri School of Social Work, Oregon State University, Portland State University Women in Leadership, National Association of Perinatal Social Workers, First Congregational United Church of Christ, and Episcopal Church of the Good Samaritan.
Her combination of education, real-life experience, and practical advice makes her a powerful force of change in the lives of the people she speaks to. Past audience members have described her as "fierce," "revelatory," "life-changing," "enthusiastic," and "inspirational." As a life coach, author, and fiery pblic speaker, Dr. Bird creates the genesis for a new brand of leadership and graceful revolution.
Her words awaken revolutionaries, trailblazers, and powerful innovators in the quest for justice. When she's not building her public speaking business, she can be found reading trashy novels, drinking fine whiskey, playing mom to three delicious humans, and loving her punk rock scientist James Thomas Kelly.
“We can indeed find a way to graceful revolution.” - Lia Dunlap (17:48-17:52)
Every successful business owner out there went through different struggles before they took their business to where it is today. So, the graceful revolution was another download that Melissa was given back in 2014.
It is about a new brand of advocacy where we engage in acts of a graceful revolution that bring light to the reality of people's lives. And this all came to her in a dream.
And the way it connects into a natural born rebel is that it's really about engaging people in their own spaces. It's about telling the stories of our lives and how our lives can impact each other.
Part Two of ‘The Purpose of Graceful Revolution in Changing Times with Melissa Bird’
Graceful revolution is about learning how systems work so that we can infiltrate membranes of power and shift the power dynamics so that more people can lovingly engage in their communities.
“Follow your unique purpose in life.” - Lia Dunlap (17:16-17:17)
The graceful revolution is about taking our experiences and making sure that people who are in positions of power, whatever that power might be, hear them so that they know that the decisions they're making directly impact people's lives.
There is no better moment than right now for this to happen. Thus, she had held that vision of the graceful revolution for a long time.

EP22 - FEAR AND MONEY DURING COVID-19
“You have the freedom to choose how your financial picture should look.”
Lia Dunlap (04:45-04:50)
Fear can spread from person to person faster than the coronavirus. Isn't it interesting that in times of trouble, that's a knee jerk reaction? How do you achieve your financial picture? In this week's episode, Lia Dunlap talks about fear and money during COVID-19.
Part One of 'Fear and Money During COVID-19'
People's stories related to money shape how others react to a crisis. You have the freedom not to buy into someone else's story. We can have compassion, but we don't have to buy a ticket to that movie. It's the same thing with the movies - we choose to watch. You have the option not to watch horror movies. Simply because you're not interested.
“Money and fear can't be together. You can always change the script of your story.” - Lia Dunlap (08:55-09:09)
Speaking of life stories, don’t rely too much on other people to like or approve your story. You start creating a system inside of you where you doubt your own voice and inner wisdom. If you find yourself in a place where fear and money are both sitting in the same table, get up from that table and change the script. Don't ever combine money with all those fears. It's all about how you engage with your finances.
Part Two of ‘Fear and Money During COVID-19’
Money flows at different rates for many reasons. Choose to access it from a place of joy, fulfillment, and abundance. As a result, you allow yourself to attract more of that positivity. You get a sense of confidence, freedom, and energetic release around money.
“Money should serve as a tool to empower you and make you feel abundant.” - Lia Dunlap (09:17-09:32)
Ask yourself, what is your story. How might it be different? What show do you want to buy a ticket to? Because it might not be the one you're watching. You must identify which of those stories brings you more joy? Which of those stories help you move forward?

EP21 - STUCK IN A JOB YOU HATE
“Only we can show up the way we're meant to show up and provide the universe exactly what it wanted when it created you.”
Lia Dunlap (04:01-04:09)
Would you like to know how to escape the monotony of your current position without losing everything you've worked hard for? If your answer is YES, get a pen and paper. You are going to want to write this down.
Put this somewhere where your boss won't see it. You definitely want to have it handy if you feel trapped in a job. In this week's episode, Lia Dunlap shares her perspective on what you need to do when you're stuck in a job you hate.

You feel like you want a way out of your current situation. Part of you might be saying it's not too smart to give up. How would it feel if you had a map to get you where you want to go? What if it only took a few more steps to get there more productively and purposefully? Wouldn't you love to walk away from your current situation on purpose, focused on where you are going? With a clear plan for what to do next?
“When you know the work you're meant to do, you feel more confident to serve.” - Lia Dunlap (11:13-11:22)
Let's say you're in a job where you're making really good money. In fact, you might be climbing that corporate ladder. But at the end of the day, when you put your phone down and you get up from your desk, you feel like any of it doesn't really matter. You constantly question the point of everything you do. You're worried about having to come back the next day and do it all over again.
Here's the thing. Each of us has a gift. Each of us has something that's inside of us that is meant to be delivered. People tend to get confused when they hear the term gift. They think that it has to be something magical or mystical. That's not always the case.
It is absolutely true the combination of whoever you are and your desire to bring something new and exciting to the conversation, to change the world, that's your gift. That's your special sauce.
You can only deliver to the people that are meant to have it. If you allow yourself to embrace your purpose fully, chances are if you're not feeling fulfilled at work. You're probably not delivering your best work. What can you do about it?
Part Two of ‘Stuck In A Job You Hate’
Figure out your unique life purpose. Have absolute clarity about what you are heading towards. We all have some way of showing up in the world. One that only we can achieve. Only we can show up the way we're meant to show up. We can provide the universe exactly what it wanted when it created you.
We may feel like we have to give up everything we've worked so hard for. The reality doesn't have to be the case. Sometimes you can shift what you're doing now in a way that it becomes your real work. How nice would that be?
“Find a support partner who has your best interest at heart and will keep you accountable for the things you say you're going to do.” - Lia Dunlap (13:48-14:06)
The next thing is, you need to know your numbers. This is beyond just understanding what it takes to start a new business. If that's what you choose to do or launch something, a product, or even a service. There are always costs involved.
To set up a business, there's a bigger picture to look at.
What numbers do you need to have in place so that you can thrive when you make that pivot? When you make that change, what does that look like? What do you need to be bringing into your household every month to make sure that you're living the lifestyle that you choose?
How much time do you want to spend at work in your new real job? How much time do you want to spend with your family? Where do you want to live? How do you want to live? Everyone needs to look at it differently.
You need a specific plan for where you're going and why you're going there. The better, clearer and more aligned that plan is, the better your odds of making that leap. The better odds of achieving the best outcome.
Find a support and accountability partner. So that you can make that leap. Choose someone who has your best interest at heart. Who will keep you accountable for the things you say you're going to do.
If you are going to make a significant shift in your life, you are going to want to have some connection to something greater, more expansive than yourself. You will experience a massive transformation like never before.

EP20 - manifesting abundance - practical applications for business leaders
“It's time for you to put all of your money, monsters, myths, and negative messages to rest to be a business leader.”
Lia Dunlap (00:07-00:18)
There is an unlimited number of businesses that are reinventing themselves right now. If you've been running your business for a long time, or even a short time, you understand that your business will suffer without profits.
How do you stay in a prosperity mindset as a business leader when you are the one dealing with all of the bottom-line demands and pressures? In this week's episode, Lia Dunlap talks about manifesting abundance.
Part One of ‘Manifesting Abundance’
If you think that a business leader's capability is only limited to dealing with structures, foundations, and operations, you got it wrong. What sets a true leader apart is their commitment when it comes to dealing with their internal systems around money, prosperity, and profits. All of these things go together. Now is your chance to unlock those money blocks for good.
“What sets a true business leader apart is someone who is committed to dealing with their internal systems around money, prosperity, and profits.” - Lia Dunlap (00:54-01:14)
If you're that business leader who's ready to take your business profits and prosperity to the next level, then it's essential to handle your money issues well.
You might be experiencing those nagging thoughts about wealth in general that are tangling you up and keeping you stuck. Drop that baggage and replace it with clarity and abundance to prevent shrinking the profits of your business.
Part Two of ‘Manifesting Abundance’
How would you like to have conversations about money without any fear, hang-ups, or gremlins? How different would your business be? How much more prosperous might you be if you found yourself coming from that perspective? That's why it's crucial to have an abundance mindset. Manifesting money can be as simple as taking those blocks out of the equation.
“If you can show up from abundance, then you can make a difference in your life and your business.” - Lia Dunlap (20:38-21:44)
How do you take those blocks out of the equation? Start embracing your fear of failure around money. There is nothing terrible about money. Money is the flow of energy that moves commerce, services, and products around the world. It helps to create abundance. It serves as a tool to keep your business going.
If you find yourself stuck in any of these blocks, then it's essential to go as the leader of your business and get rid of them. Remove the blocks, any shape, and any form that you can. Working with someone who can help you move that mental block for good is key. It allows you to free that up, not only for yourself but for your business. If you can show up from abundance, you can make a difference in your life and your business.

EP19 - What is Spiritual Awakening? How to Apply it to a Career Change
“Spiritual awakenings can be painful.”
Lia Dunlap (02:04-02:06)
Are you secretly ready to give up? Not feeling like showing up anymore? You'd rather turn off your phone, stay in bed and avoid everything. It all seems pointless. If this is how you're feeling lately, you're not alone.
That's not the end of your story. In this week's episode, Lia Dunlap talks about how you can apply spiritual awakening to a career change.
Part One of ‘What is Spiritual Awakening? (How to Apply it to a Career Change)’
Have you ever found yourself completely distraught, unable to get up, go to work, even to take a shower? You feel lost, and something's wrong. Every day you feel like you're losing touch with reality. You tell yourself you can't do it anymore. Then, an inner voice tells you that if you don't swim, you will die. Something inside of you is pushing you to fight. To get back up again.
“The universe will always send you signs when you're off track.” - Lia Dunlap (02:24-02:29)
Many people say that spiritual awakenings can be painful. It could be you missed signs you're off track. You've wandered away from the right path. If you take a couple of wrong turns, it's not too late. Take this moment to pause and reflect on life and everything you do. Are you able to do things that you're called to do?
There are moments when you feel stuck and scared. You forget to tap into your internal guidance system. It takes time and commitment to get back on track. Life is full of ups and downs.
If you take the time to focus and let that spiritual awakening take you to new horizons, you'll see what's waiting for you on the other side. As you hone in on your vision and goals, more growth and opportunities will align with the work that you do.
Part Two of ‘What is Spiritual Awakening? (How to Apply it to a Career Change)’
If you find yourself in a place wondering what the point is of getting up again? Why go to work again? Why do the same thing? Hoping that somehow at the end of the day, week or year, it's magically going to be different. Let this be a reminder that spiritual awakening, while it might be painful at first, is just that it's an awakening of something that already exists inside of you.
It is the very thing that you were created to deliver. If you lean into that, you may find yourself in a place where doing your work fulfills you. The possibility of you existing is so astronomical that you are here on purpose.
“Take one step every day toward your vision.” - Lia Dunlap (09:21-08:37)
If you find yourself in that dark place, look at yourself in the mirror. Find the answer: what are you doing here? The next step is to get yourself out of that space. This could be changing careers or relationships. When it comes time to change careers, you don't have to burn all of the bridges right off the bat.
There is a way to get where you want to go. A path with ease, joy, and purpose. It takes saying, yes, that there is something you want out there. That you are ready to do whatever your real work is. Once you do that, while not easy, the rest is pretty simple.
Continue to follow that internal guidance. That's happening as you awaken to who you are and why you're here. Take one step every day, no matter how small, toward that vision, toward that horizon, that awakening inside of you. The universe is waiting for you.
The people you're meant to serve and lives that you will impact, those things are all outside of you right now. When you can lift yourself out of that space, listen to the guidance that's coming through that awakening space. Without fear, without judgment. Do it with curiosity and hope. Then you will see how beautiful spiritual awakening is for your life and your future.

EP18: Asking the Universe - Using Divine Guidance to Grow Your PotentiaL
“We're born to live our lives fully.”
Lia Dunlap (03:10-03:1)
Do you ever find yourself paralyzed by the fear of making a wrong decision? You're a smart, talented, professional leader, and suddenly you seize up. A decision to move forward towards your next big vision is looming, and you're waiting to decide yes or a no. If this sounds like anything you're going through, know that you're not alone at all.
Part One of ‘Asking the Universe - Using Divine Guidance to Grow Your Potential’
You might find yourself tossing and turning at night. Slinking off to binge watch Netflix, or standing in front of the refrigerator snacking. Perhaps you notice that you're drinking more than you used to. We're born to live our lives fully. However, those who master following divine guidance know that the power of a life lived fully. Both ends are the goal. Be passionate about the experiences and opportunities that you meet at every turn.
“Embrace the power of free will and joyously be alive in every choice you make.” – Lia Dunlap (03:39-03:47)
To embrace the power of free will and joyously be alive in every choice you make, all you have to do is ask the universe. You can use divine guidance to grow your potential. The trick is once you do, you must be the one to act. You need to act on the direction that you're given. Remember this; the universe doesn't happen to you. The universe happens through you. You are the tool of creation, and you are here on purpose.
Part Two of ‘Asking the Universe - Using Divine Guidance to Grow Your Potential’
As you watch people step away from meaningless things to explore their real gifts and bring greater joy to the world through their purpose, the universe is indeed on your side. The universe loves you. It supports you; it wants you to win.
“Step away from meaningless work to explore your true gifts and bring greater joy to the world through your purpose.”
– Lia Dunlap (06:57-07:06)
Without action, the vision is useless, and your purpose cannot be fulfilled. It's time for you to decide how bad do you want something. Will you do whatever it takes to get it? All you need to do is focus and share your results. Figure out what you want. Ask the universe what you need to do next and then go out and do it.

EP17: searching for meaning - aligning your personal philosophy with your business
“The majority of people want to show up at the best level possible.”
Lia Dunlap (01:42-01:51)
What do you believe about people? Have you ever found yourselves stuck on hold as you try to reach someone for help? When making business decisions, it's important to be aligned with your purpose, your core and your values.
Your business is more than just a series of transactions. In today's world of conscious leadership, your business is an extension of who you are and what you stand for. In this week's episode, Lia Dunlap talks about aligning your philosophy with your business.
Part One of ‘Searching for Meaning - Aligning Your Personal Philosophy with Your Business’
Just like one of those corporate customer service lines, after waiting for five minutes or longer, you end up choosing the wrong menu, having to start all over again, and ending up hearing the machine tell you that you aren't recognized by the system. All the while, your blood pressure is rising and you're building a thorough list of grievances.
The second you get a real person on the phone, you aren't feeling charitable, empathetic, or even friendly towards those people. Yet the truth is those people are the ones who will support you and find a solution to your problem.
“When we align our philosophy about life with our business, we create a strong brand as a
foundation for our product or service.” – Lia Dunlap (05:57-06:18)
The majority of people want to do their work at their best. They want to show up at the highest level possible. Maybe it doesn't work out that way every day? Perhaps they just spilled some coffee on their lap. They could be picking up your call, juggling a lot full of napkins, and making sure they can help you. All while trying to grab the phone and make a connection with you.
What we believe about people and the world tends to color how we act. Not just in our lives, but in our work and our business. If we have these ideas and these philosophies about what we believe, then we take them with us. By the time you've spent 10 20 or even 16 minutes on hold, you're probably not going to be in a great mood.
You might have a shallow impression of the person who's on the other line about to help you. You may even be frustrated with the state of the world. Like everything is wrong. Of course, this rarely helps the situation. When was the last time you found yourself in this position? How did you feel? How do you think the other person on the other side of the line felt?
Part Two of ‘Searching for Meaning - Aligning Your Personal Philosophy with Your Business’
Breathe, align, request, and respond. First, we need to breathe. Take a moment to center yourself and breathe. Align your philosophy about life. Make a transparent and honest request. Ask for what you need and want before you respond. Make sure that you respond again from the aligned place of your philosophy.
“In today's world of conscious leadership, your business is an extension of who you are and what you stand for.”
– Lia Dunlap (07:35-07:45)
It's stressful and exhausting if you ever get off one of those phone calls. You feel depleted. If you use this technique, you can diffuse the situation and get to the true meaning of any interaction. You can move something forward. You're into that conversation because you want something to be fixed. To access more information, resources, tools, or to complete our goals, we have to communicate.
We have to share with each other. We have to have useful communication. If you can remember to take a seat at the bar, then you can be present enough to approach the situation in an aligned way, which is excellent. It's essential as business leaders to align with our philosophy about life.
When we do, we can create a strong brand that not only our clients but a brand that we can rely on, right as a foundation for our product or service. And people will start to know what you stand for and you will know where to draw the line as a leader.
Sometimes, following somebody else's pattern is like allowing others to put you into a box. You're doing work that doesn't fit with your integrity, pushing deadlines and bending corners to please a client who was never going to work with you in the first place. That's a tough one.
Knowing what you stand for and believe in can help. What you do matters because people are waiting for you to show up and stand firm in your philosophy so that they can find you. Align your philosophy with your business so people have a clear vision of what you're about and what you offer.

EP16: Clarity Meditation - Easy Exercises for Focus and Productivity
“Slow down if you don't want to burn out.”
Lia Dunlap (00:01-00:56)
When was the last time that you took a break? If you are like many hard-working, dedicated, and high-achieving leaders, you are multitasking. You’re pushing to get two or three more things done. Trying to get that last thing in. Each day you increase the intensity. If truth be told, you're about to burn out. In this week's episode, Lia Dunlap walks you through a clarity meditation and talks about easy exercises for focus and productivity.
Part One of ‘Clarity Meditation - Easy Exercises for Focus and Productivity’
You may be telling yourself all kinds of things: you'll rest when you get home or take an extra-long lunch. You could be making an excuse that there's a lot of time to sit around and meditate all day. The universe may give you a real reason to slow down. It may decide on your behalf. It could be having the flu, maybe a twisted ankle, or aching back. When your body has reached its limit, it will force you to stop.
“Keep pushing yourself to the edge every day but don't forget to breathe.” – Lia Dunlap (03:02-03:19)
Think back to when you were a kid. You threatened to hold your breath until you got something you wanted. But you can't do it. That's why moms don't worry about it too much. Your body will eventually force you to breathe.
Even if you pass out, your body starts to breathe on your behalf. That is how important breathing is. Breath is life. So, you can go ahead. Keep pushing yourself right to the edge every day.
You can kill those goals. You can bust through those ceilings and you can even shatter those limitations. Just don't forget, breathe while you're at it.
Here’s a great relaxation technique: compression breathing. Stand up wherever you are and take a nice normal deep breath. Notice how it feels. How does your body feel? How are your feet position? Is your weight in the heels or the toes? Maybe on the sides.
Just take some time to observe. Now, shake it all off. Move your hands out to the sides, right to your rib cage. Place them in from the elbows facing forward. Put your chin down a little bit and then slide it backward.
You might feel like you have a double chin. Then, move your head back slightly. Take another deep breath while keeping your arms tight. Don't let your shoulders slide back. Keep them in line with your chest. Fill up your chest with air.
It should feel like you're pressing on your ribs if you're doing it correctly, then your arms. If you're in the right position, that's what you'll feel. Be sure to inhale without lifting your shoulders. This is a tricky one. Inhale as if you're filling your lungs and then exhale by pressing the air out.
Part Two of ‘Clarity Meditation - Easy Exercises for Focus and Productivity’
As you do these things, you'll notice fascinating things happening. Your body is breathing and fully expanding, which is cool. You'll see after you've done with three of these breaths that you don't want to slump forward or slouch anymore. Your body is standing in a balanced state.
“Give yourself permission to take a break once in a while.” – Lia Dunlap (15:19-15:27)
If you're sitting right now, take a deep breath and slowly exhale. You want to feel like you're pressing the air out. Not by force, but deliberately. Become aware of your body. Just allow yourself to really focus on that feeling of breath. If you want, you can go ahead and let your eyes close. Notice the air around you, on your skin. Notice as many details as you can as you focus on breathing.
If any thoughts come in, let them float by. For now, you're just being present with your body and your breath. Let it feel like it's moving through your body. Give yourself permission to let it flow through. You'll be feeling good all over for no reason at all. Remember, this is a simple technique, and you can do it on your own at any time. Just find a quiet place, relax, and follow these simple steps.

EP15: OVERCOMING ADVERSITY - THOUGHT LEADERSHIP THROUGH LIFE EXPERIENCE
“You are meant to do something bigger and more meaningful.”
Lia Dunlap (00:45-00:48)
Do you ever feel like you are lost in a dark sea? Is it harder and harder to get up for work each morning, or are you feeling frustrated with your spouse or partner for no apparent reason? What if what is making you so miserable isn't your job, your partner, or your business? It's the fact that you know you are living a lie. In this week's episode, Lia Dunlap talks about overcoming adversity.
Part One of ‘Overcoming Adversity – Thought Leadership Through Life Experience’
Deep down, you know you are meant to do something bigger, something meaningful that only you can do. Sadly, you continue to stay where you are, doing what's expected of you, head down, and plugging along like a cog in the wheel. The real problem is you are just too scared.
“Many people experience failure before succeeding.” – Lia Dunlap (03:44-03:51)
To pursue your real work, you will need to give up everything you've worked so hard to build. You keep telling yourself you'll embarrass yourself in front of your peers and friends or you're too old to start something else. Maybe even your partner or your spouse will leave you. You don't even know what your real purpose is. That's a big one.
Part Two of ‘Overcoming Adversity – Thought Leadership Through Life Experience’
According to a Harris interactive study of American workers, only 20% feel very passionate about their jobs, 33% believe that they've reached a dead-end in their career, and 21% are eager to change careers. There are many reasons people stay in occupations and positions that don't suit them. First, they believe it's too late to be successful at anything else. Second, family pressure. Third, they fear that they will lose the security and steady income of a paycheck or benefits. And the list goes on.
“Confidence can do wonders to get you moving in the right direction.” – Lia Dunlap (06:10-06:17)
What do you think is the biggest reason people stay at positions or companies that are fulfilling? The truth is, there are many people out there living prosperous lives doing work that is purposeful and fulfilling. They all had to overcome their share of adversity to get to a place where they are living the life they were meant to live.
Remember what makes you unique is the one thing the universe intended to create when He created you. If you've been going through the motions and are feeling like your work is meaningless, realize that it doesn't have to be that way. You are more than a statistic. You have a unique life purpose, and the world is waiting for you to deliver it.

EP14: What is the Difference Between Psychic Ability and Intuition?
“You’re not alone and you have a purpose.”
Lia Dunlap (02:16-02:21)
Every person in the universe makes their own decisions based on various factors. It's usually personal or business-related. Even in small things, there's an inner voice, that gut feeling, something instinctual from within that tells us how we feel beneath those layers of logic. In this week's episode, Lia Dunlap talks about the difference between psychic ability and intuition.
Part One of ‘What is the Difference Between Psychic Ability and Intuition?’
The beauty of having psychic ability is giving people the knowledge that will help them make sense of your intuition. The internal processes of your intuition are there to provide you the safest path forward. It's like a collaboration. The beauty of having a psychic gift is being able to really tap into this mystery behind intuition. It's the framework of what's happening in the universe from a quantum perspective.
“The internal processes of your intuition are there to provide you the safest path forward.” – Lia Dunlap (08:13-08:21)
Can you imagine how convenient it's going to be when you interact with your clients using your gifts of receiving downloads and intuitive guidance? It allows them to tap into their internal understanding in a comfortable way. There's already a sense inside of them of where to turn. There are maybe a few different options, but there’s already an inclination. The drive that comes from within is their intuition.
Part Two of ‘What is the Difference Between Psychic Ability and Intuition?’
That's what your intuition does. It's meant to guide you. You probably had a lot of moments in your life wherein your intuition told you that something was off. You either paid attention to it or shrugged it off, dismissing it as illogical nonsense.
“Your psychic ability and intuition are meant to help you serve the world better.” – Lia Dunlap (13:12-13:25)
Make the best use of your psychic ability and intuition so you can help create guidance and clarity. Help your clients or other people around you move forward with their intuition as well. For some people, it takes time to realize that psychic ability and intuition are gifts meant to help serve others and serve the world better. It allows you to help other people find their internal system and to align with their life purpose.

EP12: bUILDING RELATIONSHIPS IN BUSINESS
“Building connections is essential for business success.”
Lia Dunlap (01:10-01:14)
We’ve all been there. You walk into a networking event or a conference and start scanning the others in the room. Suddenly, you see the one person you're trying to avoid. You feel terrible. It's awkward and uncomfortable. You think of how to avoid them in the future. In this week's episode, Lia Dunlap talks about building relationships in business by following your intuition.
Part One of ‘Building Relationships in Business’
It’s important to make connections in business. We need to make friends; we need to be in the right circles, have the right relationships with people that we want to work with or the people that they can connect with us. Sometimes we might be doing ourselves a disservice by buddying up and building relationships with people that are not aligned with our path.
“Relationship should be a balance between giving and taking.” – Lia Dunlap (03:34-03:38)
If a person doesn’t match your vibe, it’s not worth it. Even if you are trying to actively build your network. Business is all about connection, but the key is the right connections. How do you know whether or not a person is a right fit?
When you see that same person you didn’t want to see coming towards you, I bet some warning bells were going off. There's something about that person that you don’t like. Your intuition is picking up signals, and it’s a bad match. Here's the trick. The first time this happened, you probably pushed it to the back of your head. You said to yourself, “I'm here to meet people.”
You never know who you're going to meet and who they're going to connect you with.
You never know where your next contact or opportunity will come from. So you start to excuse those hesitant feelings. You begin to block them or push them aside. That's honestly the worst thing you can do. We want to make connections. But it benefits us to make connections that are a two-way street. That's a real relationship. A relationship is based on giving and taking. That’s valuable, but most useful when the energy of that give and take is supportive of both parties.
A good relationship is give and take, with energy and synchronicity. When you're connected with the right people, you feel it. On a physical level. You can even feel energized when you're talking to that person. You want to keep talking to them. You want to hear about who they are and what they're doing. That's an indicator that this is a good relationship to grow. Sometimes at events, it's like you've met your best friend. That's a great feeling too.
Part Two of ‘Building Relationships in Business’
What was your intuition telling you? Here's probably how it sounded.
"Wow, this person is incredible!"
"It's like I've known them my whole life. I feel good when I'm connecting with them. Just being around them makes me feel better."
"I feel like I've known you forever."
It's awesome if you're also feeling that way, and they're feeling that way too. That's a good conversation starter.
Here are some signs or signals from your intuition that you’re on track.
Your intuition is tuning in all the time. It's like a radio dial looking for the right signal. Someone else is broadcasting their signal. When we're out at a networking event, we are there to connect. So, we are already sending out signals to the people in the room to communicate with us. Don't go into the room until you've checked in how you're feeling about being there.
“Start tapping into how you feel when you walk in the room.” – Lia Dunlap (06:48-06:51)
You'll always know if you are aligned to go and meet the right people. It could be for yourself, your clients, your partners, your team, your vision, or your mission. There is always something happening in the universe on your behalf. When you want to build a better relationship with your business partners, start with that end in mind.
How do you know you're sending out the right signals when networking? Pay attention when you walk into the room. Take a breath, take a beat. Instead of starting right away, determine which direction to go. Ask yourself to feel, even though it might be a little different than you're used to.
Feel where you need to move next. Let your body lead the way. Once you've done that, make sure that you're listening to the signals from conversations you're having. This goes beyond just networking. Imagine that somebody calls you on the phone and wants to work together. Listen to what's coming across. Not only the words that they're sharing but how you're receiving them.
Think about this. Does it feel like you're energized? Does it feel like you're engaged? Does it tap into some areas like your gut? Do you feel unusually uncomfortable? Does it feel like something is missing? Sometimes our intuition says it isn’t a good fit. We really can't even tap into why. That's when it matters.
Follow that intuition. The risk of not could lead to working with the wrong people. It can also lead to damaging relationships with people you could have a better connection with. If someone's not a good fit for you as a client, but you are into connecting, you can connect them with someone who is a better fit. That builds your relationship with the person that you already are connected to and helps them to see you as a resource. If you don't pay close attention when networking, you can create toxic relationships. That’s why building positive relationships is so important.
Business intuition requires knowing what you have to offer, who you are, what you stand for, and what feels aligned. Following that guidance can help you to build strong relationships and robust connections. You’ll also avoid awkward situations at your next networking or mastermind event.

EP11: 5 VISIONARY LEADERSHIP EXAMPLES
“We Are Called to Be the Visionary Leaders We Are Destined to Be.”
Lia Dunlap (05:27-05:32)
What does it mean to be a visionary leader? It means guiding others to their highest selves and creating a brighter future for humanity. It means taking a stand for something bigger than yourself, acting toward that vision relentlessly. You can inspire others to leave the shadows. To be seen, to be recognized. To be heard. To be valued. In this week's episode, Lia Dunlap shares her five visionary leaders that made a positive impact in her life.
Part One of ‘5 Visionary Leadership Examples’
Visionary leadership means recognizing the inherent power within each individual. It means knowing a unique and unified goal can double and triple the power of a person. Visionary leaders can see things from a broad perspective.
“A visionary leader sees the future in the present.” – Lia Dunlap (09:02-09:06)
There are many great examples of visionary leaders inspiring others to stand up and hold the world accountable for doing better. Each leader had a passion for a specific vision. Here are some of the most significant examples of visionary leaders who have inspired me:
1. Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela's journey saved his own life and transformed the lives of his entire country. After years of spending time in a small prison cell in Robin Island, he was released on February 11th, 1990. He went on to end apartheid, also establishing a multi-racial government against all the odds. In 1993, Mandela won the Nobel Peace Prize along with Frederik Willem de Klerk for their work during the civil rights revolution in South Africa. A year later, Mandela became South Africa's first black president, and his vision of hope inspired South Africans and the world. It was an example of equality that inspired the world as a whole.
2. Maya Angelou
Speaking of freedom, my next visionary leader found hers giving a singing voice to a caged bird. Maya Angelou was a poet, an artist, a luminary, and an author. For generations, she was a light at the end of the tunnel. Her vision of encouraging girls to speak up, find their voice and recognize their magnificence as phenomenal women made me proud.

3. Tarana Burke
Next is Tarana Burke, a civil rights activist from The Bronx, New York, who founded the 'Me Too' movement. Tarana is an example of a visionary. She looked beyond her circumstances and helped create a campaign that transformed the lives of women across the world. The ripple effect allowed women across the globe to say, "me too." They could express that they had been victims of abuse. They could make sure women knew that they weren't alone. It allowed Tarana to capture the spirit of those people who had been affected. It's like catching lightning in a bottle. You are there at the right time and finding that thing inside of you that grows so loudly that you have to speak it. In expressing it, she inspired others to do the same. There are many similarly influential leaders rising. Maybe it's you; perhaps it's someone you know.
“Knowing your life purpose allows you to live at the level of a visionary leader.” – Lia Dunlap (17:16-17:27)
4. Rosa Parks
My other inspiration is Rosa Parks. There's a wave of people rising against racial and global injustice. The foundation for that change comes from people like Rosa Parks and others in that era who laid the foundation of the movement. We can stand on that foundation and fight for equality and the experience of humanity. We are all the better because of women and visionaries like Rosa Parks. You might think she was not a visionary, or she was just a woman who was coming home from work and was tired. That is incorrect. In Parks' heart, there was a vision of how life should be, and sometimes that's the subtlety of a visionary. It's the subtlety of knowing enough is enough. Knowing life can feel different, better, brighter, more hopeful, more engaged, more inclusive of the true breadth of humanity.
5. Michelle Obama
The fifth person on my list is the former first lady, Michelle Obama. Not only for the incredible work that she did in the White House but for what she continues to do today. I see her in the media, still inspiring people across the country to show up, be bold, and fight for a future that makes a difference. She had incredible intelligence and grace, even in the face of ridicule and hatred. As a woman of color, I know it takes courage to face that day after day and still show up. It takes a leader to say: I can see those against me, and I'm for the people who are ready to make a change.
You have to set expectations for your partners, your team, and even for the people that you serve.
Another method of leadership is being aligned with who you are. You could be the person who inspires someone else to look at their shortcomings, their lack or limitation, values, and beliefs. When inspiring people to do bolder, brighter things with their lives and with the world, you might be chastised. You might be called weird or crazy. People who used to be your friends may turn away. A visionary leader understands that from the beginning. It's worth all of the pain, frustration, and pitfalls to get where you are going.
Visionary leaders aren't born, they're made. They're made through the challenges, oppression, and tragedy. Because of these experiences, they're able to see the possibilities for all of us. The mark of a visionary leader sees the potential and possibility in everyone. Here's the thing, real visionary leaders will happily turn down clients because they believe in the independent potential of the client. They think that the client can find a solution and can find the resources they need independently.
It takes seeing the most precise vision, not just for yourself or your business but for everyone whose lives your business touches. When you're able to define your mission, not only for the prosperity of your business but for humanity, what is it you want it to do? How do you want things to change? That goes back to understanding your unique life purpose. When you return regularly, you know that you are doing what's right for that vision. Then, you begin holding on to that vision firmly, capturing the imagination and inspiration of others.

Lia Dunlap (05:27-05:32)
What does it mean to be a visionary leader? It means guiding others to their highest selves and creating a brighter future for humanity. It means taking a stand for something bigger than yourself, acting toward that vision relentlessly. You can inspire others to leave the shadows. To be seen, to be recognized. To be heard. To be valued. In this week's episode, Lia Dunlap shares her five visionary leaders that made a positive impact in her life.
Part One of ‘5 Visionary Leadership Examples’
Visionary leadership means recognizing the inherent power within each individual. It means knowing a unique and unified goal can double and triple the power of a person. Visionary leaders can see things from a broad perspective.
“A visionary leader sees the future in the present.” – Lia Dunlap (09:02-09:06)
There are many great examples of visionary leaders inspiring others to stand up and hold the world accountable for doing better. Each leader had a passion for a specific vision. Here are some of the most significant examples of visionary leaders who have inspired me:
1. Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela's journey saved his own life and transformed the lives of his entire country. After years of spending time in a small prison cell in Robin Island, he was released on February 11th, 1990.

EP10: 4 Tips to VISUALIZE YOUR GOALS FOR 2020
“The Power of Visualization Lies in The Single-Minded Focus on The Vision.”
Lia Dunlap (00:40-00:46)
Many leaders tell people under their supervision to visualize success as if it's a concept that's universally understood. What if you've been doing this visualization thing all wrong now? In this week's episode, Lia Dunlap highlights the 4 Tips to Visualize Your Goals for 2020.
Part One of ‘4 Tips to Visualize Your Goals for 2020’
First, let's talk about what it's not. It's not thinking about a goal, writing it down and reading it aloud to yourself. That's not it. Many times, people believe that they need to meditate on something. That's similar to visualization but, not the case. That's letting your mind wander. It's like holding a thought, but it is a little bit different.
“Go from seeing the results to experiencing the results with all your senses.” – Lia Dunlap (04:59-05:08)
So, the first step to visualizing your goal for 2020 is to receive all the benefits of visualization. We must start with the end in mind. What is your desired result? Think about that. Not only the overarching goal but this specific exact result you're hoping to achieve.
Once you have a clear idea of what that result is, close your eyes and picture the results taking place.
Take yourself through the achievement of the result. Make it about success, not only the goal itself. The second thing you need to do is to expand your senses. As I was mentioning earlier, like having that pen and handing it over to the client to have them a sign, feel the weight of the pen, feel the sense of the room. So, what is the temperature of that space? Is it a crisp fall day or a warm summer night? Is the place air-conditioned or full of body heat from the crowds of people and lights on stage?
What does it feel like to be in that space? What ambient noises are floating around you? It could be the hum of equipment outside the sound of traffic or the pounding of surf on the sand. Any of these things like the more details you can imagine as you're visualizing, the better. Our sense of taste is a fascinating one. Because often, people forget this sense, but we can be very activated by taste, right? Something tastes sour or sweet. It can have a visceral reaction for us. Don't forget to think about that. Do you relish the salt air? The cold beer, warm tea, or the bubbles of the champagne. So, what is all that? You get to have the flavor of the experience as well. What about your body? Does your body feel relaxed or energized? Are you pumped up, or are you muscle strain from that last mile? Think about all those senses.
Part Two of ‘4 Tips to Visualize Your Goals for 2020’
The other thing is that people don't often think about the smell, like the smell of salt air, fresh-cut grass, or ink from the pen. So, think about as many senses as you can bring into the picture. The visualization, the better. Make it multisensory. Now, it's time to get physical. I love this piece because it's something that I learned back when I was a teenager. I used to be a member of the theater group in high school. She said that the secret to memorizing your lines is movement. She knew that if we got up and walked the stage while practicing our lines, the aesthetic connection to the words would help us remember the lines when we got back on stage again. Even as I moved on in life, if I had to memorize a speech, I would stand up and walk in my living room or my office space. It worked because it created a multi-dimensional experience of taking those words and implanting them in my memory.
If you have a clear idea of the result, then you've tapped into the senses. Remember getting all your essential experiences. What are the things you have to do with your body during that experience? Let's say you take a step through the doorway of that new home. Imagine yourself taking that step, unlocking the door, turning the handle, pushing the door open, and taking that first step inside. While you're visualizing what that looks like, is it a new home? Does it smell like a fresh home smell? Does it smell like a new car? If you want to think about the feeling of holding the mic in your hands if you're standing on stage, does it feel heavy? How are you keeping it when you're talking? Do you feel like you can move around and speak with a microphone? Get yourself into that physical space. You can imagine shaking hands of your new clients, waving to the crowd, and taking a bow after delivering your TEDx talk. All those things. By adding that extra element of being physical, it allows you to create a much more robust visualization process.
“You have to be consistent with your visualizations.” – Lia Dunlap (11:16-11:18)
The last step is going to look easy, but it's one of the hardest steps. Practicing visualization is not a one-time thing. You're not going to be able to get results by one time even. And all those things I gave you, that's not enough to change your mental patterns. The practice of visualizing something over and over again helps construct that neuropathway. It allows you to have a clear signal that you're sending out to the universe about what you want. The stronger the practice, the stronger the signal. Taking the time to practice is the key if the whole purpose of doing the visualization is to achieve your result. How do you practice? Well, you have to be consistent with your visualizations. If you've done all the steps mentioned, you want to keep that visualization steady, right? You want to keep touchstones of the expanded experience in your mind, and you want to set aside time to hold your vision at least once a day. If it's something big and worth visualizing, then take a few moments at least once a day.
You're creating these goals. You're creating these visions. You're creating these desires from a part of you that knows it's something for you. Don't worry so much about why or how it's going to happen. Always leave space for the universe to surprise you with something even better than you already imagined. Remember, you're a co-creator using a tool of unlimited possibility. So, when you become hardened by your vision, you lose the chance to achieve even more than you can imagine. Don't put creation in a box. It doesn't belong there.

EP09: Strategic planning overview: What to prepare for in 2020
“This Is the Year That Calls You To Be Specific And Purposeful About Planning”
Lia Dunlap (01:33-01:38)
As we step into 2020, we tend to put the hustle-and-bustle of the holidays behind us. And, this is the year that calls us to be specific and purposeful about planning. In this episode, Lia gives a strategic planning overview on what you can do to prepare for 2020.
Part One of ‘Strategic Planning Overview: What to Prepare for in 2020’
The year 2020 is either more of the same or a robust year of change. How do we know? It depends on who you ask. Many economists say that the recession is unlikely and that we are on the cusp of a significant power shift.
“You’re affirming and creating your life experiences with every word and thought.” – Lia Dunlap (06:05-06:13)
My insight from the Oracle is a little different. It leans more towards an inner shift of consciousness on a global scale. So, there is time for folks to realize and reconcile their misaligned parts and bring their highest intentions to fruition. Imagine that you have a highly active replicator that is waiting for your command and your attention.
What is your unique life purpose? How can you use it to fuel your business? In this first step, you need to determine what your life purpose might be. If you already have a good idea of what it is, ask yourself, how are you supporting it in your business? The core beliefs that you have about life. What do you value most on a spiritual level? What are you willing to fight for in this life? That's where the components of that first step to discover your authentic role comes in.
You may start by looking at the things that matter most in your life. That’s a good starting place.
The second step is the goal creation blueprint. You'll not only visualize your goal, but you'll create a holistic plan for your achievement. Take a few minutes to tap into your vision and your goals. That's the key. Don't just focus on what goal entails; permit yourself to tap into how you feel in that vision. What parts of the goal activate your core values and fulfill your unique life purpose?
Part Two of ‘Strategic Planning Overview: What to Prepare for in 2020’
The third step is power affirmation. You are turning your gremlins into allies for your business growth. You might think that you don't know anything about this. But we're going to dive into a mind-bending technique for transforming your gremlins into allies with power affirmations. There's a purely scientific way to change those pesky negative thoughts into two power tools to absolute mental mastery. I'm guessing you're already using power affirmations every day. You don't even know it. Every thought you think, and every word you speak is an affirmation.
The fourth is the leap of faith, so you can know when, where, and how to take a flying leap forward in your business. It's a crucial part of your progress. It helps to move your strategy, your strategic plan ahead. It's not just enough to know what steps to take next. Sometimes making a smooth landing on the next level requires divine timing. Tremendous bravery is also essential. The secret recipe for just how much courage versus how much of a leap you're going to take to know the exact timing is to be about 75% nervous and 25% excited. When you're feeling like that, you know you have a pretty good leap of faith. That means that you're leaning out towards that goal. As an intuitive business architect for over 25 years, now I spend my days helping clients navigate their business choices based on sound business strategy.
“Get rid of that overwhelming feeling of having to fill the to-do list and replace it with a simple process.” – Lia Dunlap (09:11-09:21)
The last step is the manifestation map. It's how to pull it all together into one simplified source to free up energy and find your flow. We don't want to feel like we're overwhelmed by the process. So, the manifestation map is a unique focusing tool that allows you to streamline your manifestation skills and remove clutter. Please get rid of that overwhelming feeling of having to fill all the to-do lists and replace them with a simple process.
Lastly, combine all those strategies and combine them into one efficient tool that you can use over and over again with complete ease. The component is simple. This process allows you to take your planning to an entirely new level that is designed specifically with you and your goals in mind.

Tremendous bravery is also essential. The secret recipe for just how much courage versus how much of a leap you're going to take to know the exact timing is to be about 75% nervous and 25% excited. When you're feeling like that, you know you have a pretty good leap of faith. That means that you're leaning out towards that goal. As an intuitive business architect for over 25 years, now I spend my days helping clients navigate their business choices based on sound business strategy.

EP08: Finding gratitude in business
“No Matter Where You Are in Your Business Journey, There Is Always Something to Be Grateful For.”
Lia Dunlap (09:57-10:02)
When was the last time you felt grateful for your business? Do you start every day from a place of gratitude? In this episode, Lia Dunlap talks about finding gratitude in business.
Part One of ‘Finding Gratitude in Business’
Think back for a moment. Perhaps years ago, when you were a little kid, somebody bought you a gift. Right before you got it, you saw it coming towards you. The idea, the potential, the possibility of what was in the box caused that warm feeling of excitement to bubble up inside of you. And all the most amazing things flooded through your head at once. But, you were in a state of gratitude, even though you didn't know what it was. You were already feeling grateful before you took that package.
To those of you in the service industry, that's what happens every day. Every day people are choosing you. They're choosing to work with you. They're deciding to buy your product, your service, and they want to show up, not only to give you the gift of their patronage but, for you to provide them with your service. Be grateful for the people who show up.
Always be grateful that people are reaching out to know more about your business and how they can work with you.
The same goes for how you show up in meetings or even as you sit down at your desk. There are lots of people in the world who would love to have started their own business, but they didn't. And here you are sitting at your desk looking at your computer, looking into your phone, participating in expanding, knowing more about your business, and how you can make it better. Be grateful for your business and your clients.
“Good things come to those who are always grateful.” – Lia Dunlap (12:16-12:50)
Part Two of ‘Finding Gratitude in Business’
Many times, you'll hear people talk about gratitude. They'll ask you to make a gratitude list or have a gratitude journal. It is not about looking around and writing a list of things that you have. It's going one step deeper to understand that the universe brought someone to you, which allowed you to offer a service or product to them to solve a problem. And ultimately to make an impact in their life. That means that you get to use your gift, whatever it is to help someone else move their life forward.
“Gratitude is a step on the path of abundance.” – Lia Dunlap (09:48-09:02)
As you watch the things that are transpiring in your business with gratitude, the next step to create a genuine appreciation is to claim it. Show sincere appreciation for having it. And that you're ready and open to receive more. Why would the universe give you any more if you don't enjoy what you already have? Even the people that you work with, those lives have been changed by you interacting and working with them. Your life is being changed as well. Your business is bringing you more opportunities. Whatever it looks like, no matter where you are in your business journey, be appreciative.
And more importantly, it's about focus. Focus on gratitude, especially on the things that you want to grow, including the ways that your business is working and how you want to do more of those things. Start your day by intentionally being grateful for what your day holds. Then, focus on the things that you want to grow in your business. What will happen if you keep yourself in a place of gratitude before you check your emails or receive phone calls? How would things be different?
Furthermore, finding gratitude in your business not only allows you to activate a muscle that will enable more good things to come to you. But it does create a ripple effect where you're shifting the energy, not only with the people that you work with on your team. Even the clients you speak with over the phone. Imagine them getting off the phone call feeling lifted. No matter what the conversation was, the clients are going to feel as if they are appreciated, which opens up an opportunity for raving fans.

EP07: HOW TO SET INTENTIONS FOR BUSINESS WITH THE LAW OF ATTRACTION
“Set A Big Vision for Your Business That Goes Beyond Just Revenue”
Lia Dunlap (09:05-09:38)
What solution are you bringing into the business world that people need? Many professionals brush off the significance of setting intentions. As a result, they struggle and lose sight of which way the wind is blowing. In this episode, Lia shares how you can set plans for business with the law of attraction.
Part One of ‘How to Set Intentions for Business with the Law of Attraction’
We are living in an energetic universe, and our thoughts are energy. Those are the building blocks for our reality. The law of attraction is working all the time no matter who you are and where you are. All it takes is to use and activate the code that's already in place. It's already being used right now in your business.
“The law of attraction is an energetic system that takes your thoughts and creates your reality.” – Lia Dunlap (01:13-01:20)
What you add your energy to, you bring back to you. That is the power of The Law of Attraction. It makes sense to use this attraction methodology as a business tool if you have a business built around your purpose and passion. You can experience financial freedom by activating the law of attraction.
Make a vision on how you want to do things, how you want to show up, and how you want to do things differently.
Ask yourself these essential questions: How does my dream life feel? What do I want to be doing in my day to day life? What do I want it to feel like when I show up to work? What do I want my business to do in this world? These questions will help develop a concept that will attract your dream clients. You will see unusual shifts happen on multiple levels in your business. You will see extraordinary transformations happen on many levels in your industry.
Part Two of ‘How to Set Intentions for Business with the Law of Attraction’
You must strip away everything that doesn't align with who you are and your passion. You can set your intentions around that big vision for your business with the law of attraction. Make it a point to write down your goals and work them out one at a time.
“Taking a leap of faith requires you to step outside your comfort zone.” — Lia Dunlap (17:01-17:20)
A leap of faith feels scary and exciting at the same time. It's something that is going to push you beyond your comfort zone. You may even feel you are past your breaking point. It can be exhausting, but it's enriching. You could be an entrepreneur whose goal is to expand your business by looking for a commercial space. That's an admirable goal, but the possibility of failure is inevitable.
Failure should not hinder us from achieving big things. There's no way we can completely clear our minds of negativity. We can only change how we respond to those thoughts. You can always turn it around to make it a powerful affirmation for you. It's a powerful thing to create a new pathway as you take your leap of faith.

EP06: PURSUE your passion - it's never too late
“Purpose and Passion Are Two Great Fuels That Produces Great Power When Combined Together.”
— Lia Dunlap (06:23-07:04)
You’ve likely heard a lot of influencers discuss the importance of pursuing your passion. It’s a self-discovery journey that strengthens social bonds and your learning process. In this episode, Lia Dunlap shares her perspective about pursuing your passion.
Part One of ‘Pursue Your Passion — It’s Never Too Late’
The word passion causes distress for people who are still figuring out what they were born to do. Remember, that fire of passion inside of you is connected to your unique life purpose. You can have the greatest job or the nicest things in the world but still, miss your true passion and purpose in life.
“Your passion is like a map that leads you to a place where you’re meant to create, build and experience things.” – Lia Dunlap (00:41-01:48)
The essence of knowing our purpose is that it leads us back to delivering our purpose. Life without passion is like driving on a road that will lead you to dead ends and not knowing where to go. If you combine passion and purpose together, you can experience life on a different level.
When we start to follow our passion, there are days when there's a sense that feels hollow. It feels like there's something more that can be in your life and you don't know what it is. If you're in that position, remember that all it takes is to listen to where your passion is leading you.
When you focus on your passion, you can start to develop a real career path or a real launch.
It could be a startup launch based on all the experiences that you had when it comes to building that passion. There may be things you're already doing today that are signs of what you're passionate about. There are experiences that you've had that are completely aligned with your purpose.
It's kind of always working in the background no matter what you're doing to try to reach that point. Think about the past jobs that you've had. You probably think you've never learned anything from working in a fast-food industry. But if you think about it, whatever job you've had in the past, you can see areas of that work that you enjoyed doing. And those small things serve as a clue to what you're most passionate about.
Part Two of ‘Pursue Your Passion — It’s Never Too Late’
You could be a 60-year-old marathon runner but there's a lot of room for you to develop that. Unlike someone who's starting out, they need a higher level of commitment because they have a long way to go. The beauty of it is if you're doing things when you're older, you have more years of experience to bring with you. Even if it's later in life, you are a person who has the power to commit to a choice.
“There will always be signposts along the way to lead us what we’re most aligned to do in this world.” – Lia Dunlap (14:17-14:29)
There are people out there diving into their passions so that they can feel fulfilled in their lives. Wake up feeling like you've got your life in front of you instead of regretting going to work. Ask yourself what it would be like if you could wake up and feel that excitement to work. You can achieve anything whatever service or product you're going to work with. Because all that matters is if it makes you feel aligned with what you were born to do.

EP05: quantum physics law of attraction explained
"What You Focus On, You Attract.” Lia Dunlap (01:12-01:16)
Scientific studies in recent years shows that we have about 50,000 thoughts a day. The law of attraction isn’t about random scattered thoughts. It’s a combination of repetition and vibration of the thoughts. Our interpretation is based on the internal map of reality that we have and not the real truth. In this episode, Lia Dunlap explains how the Quantum Physics Law of Attraction works.
Part One of ‘Quantum Physics Law of Attraction Explained’
We don’t need to know the answers to why certain things in the universe respond to our thoughts. But if we know that they do, then it is important to understand how we can benefit from it.
“If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.” – Lia Dunlap (19:46-20:07)
Many of us know that starting a car is as easy as turning a key but don't know how a car engine works. As a result, they miss a lot of good benefits that can impact their life in a positive way. It's the same thing with the concept of quantum physics and the law of attraction. That's the gift we have our hands on when we recognize the benefits of quantum attraction. We have the ability to create what we desire in co-creation with the universe. In fact, it’s already working in your life. It's not something we turn off because it's constantly happening as a law of attraction. It is in process and always going through the motions. And that's the gift we have our hands on when we recognize the benefits of quantum attraction, the ability to create what we desire in co-creation with the universe. In fact, it’s already working in your life. It's not something we turn off because it's constantly happening as a law of attraction. It is constantly in process and always going through the motions.
It's so important to become mindful of your thoughts every day. As the saying goes, be careful of your thoughts, they might become your words. Be careful of your words, they might become your actions.
This happens every day, that's why some people call it the internal dialogue. Those are your repetitive thoughts and those are the ones we first want to be aware of. Some of those thoughts are probably good ones like things that make you happy. It could be things that you’re envisioning for yourself and something that has to do with your business. Yet, you may have some thoughts in your head that you don’t necessarily want to focus on. Those are the thoughts that might even be holding you back.
Part Two of ‘Quantum Physics Law of Attraction Explained’
We need to look at how we can give ourselves a vibrational change at energetic shift. The easiest way to do that is to think about something that makes you happy. It could be anything like the look of someone you love. It could be a moment when you felt empowered and happy. It could be a sunset or sound of the waves crashing on the shore at the ocean. It could be any song that makes you want to get up and dance. Allow yourself to stay at that level of vibration.
“Raise your vibration around the thoughts that you want to manifest.” – Lia Dunlap (11:02-11:07)
Focus on your vision until it becomes a reality so you can tap into the quantum attraction process. You have thousands of different thoughts rolling in your head every day. That makes it challenging for you to focus. Ask yourself what you have been thinking about and how that lines up with the life you have right now. Figure out if it supports your vision so you can have the life that you desire.

EP04: hOW TO FIND OUT YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE - 5 STEP CLARITY EXERCISE
“Your Purpose Is the Cornerstone of Your Business.”
Lia Dunlap (01:38-01:42)
Many people don’t realize that knowing yourself makes it easier to live a life true to your core values. There are real concrete ways to find out what your purpose is. And, how we can use it as a function of moving through your world, your lives and your business. In this episode, Lia Dunlap talks about finding your purpose in life.
Part One of ‘How to Find Your Purpose in Life – 5 Step Clarity Exercise
Our unique life purpose is a codex. It is the underlying DNA of your drive to be here as human beings. It is your personal internal guidance system. And, it is your sacred cornerstone in business.
Part One of ‘How to Find Your Purpose in Life – 5 Step Clarity Exercise
Our unique life purpose is a codex. It is the underlying DNA of your drive to be here as human beings. It is your personal internal guidance system. And, it is your sacred cornerstone in business.
“Our purpose is uniquely attuned to who we are and what we’re capable of delivering.” – Lia Dunlap (04:27-04:34)
Back in the olden days, when we thought about architecture and the mason work, there was always a cornerstone, a stone that every building, the foundation of every building was built on. Your purpose can actually be the cornerstone of your business, especially if you align it that way. It matters because you were chosen out of all the other opportunities for anyone else to be born, which means that you have a unique gift to the world. Ultimately, that you were created out of a one in 400 quadrillion chance of anyone else being created. You were created and brought here on earth for a purpose.
Your unique life purpose is the reason that you exist. Every fiber of who you are is working towards being revealed and fulfilled in life. Just like the acorn seed being planted in the ground. Everything inside of it to make it a tree and to produce more acorns, already exist in the very thin, the very fiber of its being. That is the same with all of us. Each of us has something inside of us that we are, we're planted here to bloom and blossom into.
Every part of who we are plays a role or a function in how we work and play and live and love.
We have whatever we need, we will learn whatever it needs to be learned. We will gather whatever information or education or experience we need to deliver this purpose to the world because that's why we're here. That is exactly what we intended to do. So, there is no way for us to be without it. It is part of who we are and how we move through the world. When we have business challenges, a clear sense of what our unique life purpose is will push us through it. It acts as a balancing mechanism to hold against what's happening.
Part Two of ‘How to Find Your Purpose in Life – 5 Step Clarity Exercise
You must identify what are the things in your life that you find most attuned with. Check your current life activities. Be aware of where you are spending your precious time and energy. Give your energy to the things that matter and are aligned with your purpose. The best use of your energy is to get aligned with the core spiritual qualities you most value.
Your unique life purpose is the reason that you exist. Every fiber of who you are is working towards being revealed and fulfilled in life. Just like the acorn seed being planted in the ground. Everything inside of it to make it a tree and to produce more acorns, already exist in the very thin, the very fiber of its being. That is the same with all of us. Each of us has something inside of us that we are, we're planted here to bloom and blossom into.

“Create a life/business mantra that allows you to come back to your purpose.” – Lia Dunlap (18:22-18:29)
Take the time to reflect how you're able to make the world a better place or impact some areas of the world in a better way. Once, you've got those pieces together, you can start to see how knowing your purpose is getting a sense of what roles you're doing now or roles you'd like to do in the future. This will give you the opportunity to serve on a grander scale in the world.

EP03: How to ENHANCE YOUR INTUITION FOR BETTER BUSINESS RESULTS
“Intuition Is A Powerful Leadership Tool.”
Lia Dunlap (06:33-06:45)
Many professionals don’t realize how powerful their intuition is in the business world and how not fully using it makes their business move at a snail’s pace. Coming up with a road map to stay ahead of the game could be challenging at times. In this episode, Lia Dunlap talks about enhancing your intuition for better business results.
Part One of ‘How to Enhance Your Intuition for Better Business Results’
Intuition bridges the gap between the conscious and unconscious mind. Some call it the sixth sense. Now they note that it allows us to tap into the heightened state of awareness connected to universal source, which can provide information, direction, and affirmation of our decisions. It's like a silent alarm that triggers when we need to pay attention or avoid danger.

Now they note that it allows us to tap into the heightened state of awareness connected to universal source, which can provide information, direction, and affirmation of our decisions. It's like a silent alarm that triggers when we need to pay attention or avoid danger.
“The ability to enhance and listen to your intuition allows both parties to get good mileage out of it.” — Lia Dunlap. (09:22-09:28)
The first necessary step you need to take if you really want to enhance your intuition and use it so that it can benefit your business is to really sit down and practice listening. Listen, when you're having conversations with new clients, when you're having conversations with coworkers, when you're having conversations with new partners that you're partnering up with, listen to not only what you're seeing and hearing from them, but what you're feeling about what you're hearing and seeing from them.
Subsequently, those people you connect with will feel that they’re genuinely heard and seen on a totally different level and the rapport you have in business is deepened. So, the trust, which is very important in any kind of business agreement or situation, becomes easily found and kept.
If you’re determined to enhance your intuition, that’s the moment when you don’t listen to respond.
You listen to what they're saying, and you listen to what your gut is telling you. You do both. You must find a process for yourself that's authentic to who you are and start learning to trust that voice, to believe it, even though you may not see the direct results right away.
Part Two of ‘How to Enhance Your Intuition for Better Business Results’
In business, we can find ourselves needlessly struggling to move forward on a project or to engage with a client to really make that connection that will allow us to really move their business forward. If we're a business coach, for example, we can also fail to land an opportunity with someone and miss signs that the client is not a good fit because we're not paying attention to our own intuition.

“Intuition helps you connect with others deeply, make transactions, agreements and decisions in a much more confident and engaging way.” – Lia Dunlap (02:28-02:56)
Conversely, if we proactively start to tap into our own intuition and work with someone who has an intuitive gift or a direct link to channeling on a higher plane, then you are tapping into that universal source of knowledge that the sixth sense is already tapping into. As a business person, whether that's a product or a service, you are listening on all levels to the needs of the person that you're working with or the audience that you're sharing with. Sometimes there's meditation, which takes us into quietness and stillness where we're less distracted and journaling is another way to do that. You can journal on a page and free write what you're feeling, what your senses are telling you and let the writing come from inside of you.
Whichever way you choose to practice, hopefully you’re taking the time to recognize your own intuition, listen to the voice that you’re hearing, and acknowledge that there is something about it that’s helping you to make better choices that are more aligned for yourself and for your business so that you can prosper to the best of your abilities.

EP02: How to find your passion and inner awesomeness?
“The World Is Waiting For You To Show Up On Purpose.”
Lia Dunlap (21:37-21.49)
Many people don’t realize the beauty and magnitude of influence they could have on the world by simply embracing who they are and what they were born to do. In this episode, Lia Dunlap talks about developing, understanding and expressing your passion and inner awesomeness.
Every person in this world has a pure, rare and vivid gem inside of them. You are unique on purpose. What you bring to the world is valuable because people are waiting for it. When we give ourselves permission to share our uniqueness, we can use it as a motivation to act towards our goals, desires, and dreams.
Part One of ‘How to Find Your Passion and Inner Awesomeness’
If you’re someone who knows the value of what you can offer and completely passionate about what you’re doing, you will sense that strong connection no matter who you speak with. Your passion shines so bright that it can cause other people to listen and agree with whatever you’re trying to convince them about.
The combination of talents, skills, and gifts you have all contribute to what you’re meant to deliver. You may be able to share them but there is no one who is identical to you. You could be someone who’s skilled in the painting whose artworks serve as a therapy to others. You could be someone that has all the natural qualities a customer service representative requires. You could be someone the company needs to increase its marketing revenue. You could be the right motivational speaker someone needs to step out of their comfort zone. You could be someone who loves to cook with your family but it’s not that you like to cook, it’s the community of being together and making a meal that you like, and the long list just goes on. You must realize that your uniqueness can create a positive contribution to our society. As you embrace it, you will see your personal progress slow unfolding page by page.

“There’s a risk to not developing, understanding or expressing your passion and your uniqueness.” – Lia Dunlap. (00:47-00:52)
Some of the things that could happen are you won’t be able to connect with people in an authentic way. You come off as either aloof or arrogant or put up walls between you and other people that just don’t need to be there. You might also feel self-conscious and lonely, and that’s really a serious thing. Many people are exposed to the media, yet they still feel disconnected. If you don’t do something about it, you may be spending your entire life hiding the one thing that the universe created when it created you. On the other hand, if you know yourself well, you’ll be like a flower who won’t compete with the flower next to you; instead, you just bloom.
You’ve probably met a lot of people who always felt misunderstood, out of place and alone because they work so hard trying to constantly fit in which always lead to unmet expectations. The truth is, we all have that passion that makes us feel so alive inside and choose to do more than anything else in this world. That passion is the key to take you to the direction you’re meant to go. Lia Dunlap also speaks about assessing our uniqueness with careful thought.
You must take time to reflect, “Is this something I feel that I enjoy and I’m good at or is this something I’ve just been told?”
Consider making a list of all the things that you are currently responsible for, basically the things that you’re doing on a regular basis. It doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s something that you have to get paid for now. It’s like looking at your average week in a helicopter view. It could help you identify what are the things that you are always eager to find time doing even during your busy schedule.
Part Two of ‘How to Find Your Passion and Inner Awesomeness’
Now you’re gonna look at the list you’ve created and look for patterns. Look for the places where suddenly a pattern starts to appear. It could flashback a lot of your childhood memories where, for example, you remember yourself being jubilant when you’re picking flowers and gardening, and it may be while you’re gardening, you realize that little version you always loved nature. Brainstorm all the things you did as a child that really lights you up.

“Let that part of you have a voice and have a presence in your life.” – Lia Dunlap (21:11-21:16)
atever you’re passionate about, share it with the people you care about. Take it with you wherever you go. Whether or not you turn it into a job, it doesn’t really matter if you’re bringing it back into your life and just speaking to it and sharing it.

EP01: What Does Alchemy Mean in Business?
“Turning Your Challenges into Opportunities to Serve Your Marketplace Better.”
Lia Dunlap (11:55-12:07)
Many small business owners, solo entrepreneurs or even big corporations miss the mark by brushing aside the importance of alchemy in business, subsequently shrinking their own market share. In this episode, Lia Dunlap sheds some light on the positive impact that alchemy creates in business.
Part One of ‘What Does Alchemy Mean in Business?’
Many businesses nowadays lose in many aspects because of not exploring enough new horizons and getting stuck in their old systems. Everything is changing so fast in the business world that’s why innovation is a must for survival. It’s like a life jacket that keeps you afloat in water. Businesses that don’t innovate will eventually not be able to sustain themselves in the long run.

Businesses that don’t innovate will eventually not be able to sustain themselves in the long run.
“If you’re not willing to transform your business to meet the needs of a changing marketplace, it’s bound to make your business obsolete at some point.”
– Lia Dunlap (01:41-01:54)
We’re now living in a modern world where we need a competent business approach to stay ahead of rapidly changing consumer demands, evolving technology and continuous rise of rivalry between competitors. Constant innovation is at its peak which means you need to set a time to regularly review your business strategies, practices, outdated tools and processes to save both time and money.
If you’re an individual who’s steered away from innovational works or ideas, solely for the sake of keeping your products and services ahead of the competition, then your business can become stagnant. The truth is, the marketplace will move without you whether you want it or not. It will continue to expand and it’s up to you to take necessary actions in order to get ahead of the game.
There must be something created to revive the business.
Even in the coaching industry where something that’s been done for a long time just continues to be done that way and eventually the market itself starts to deteriorate. So, there must be some sort of shift. Implementing new ideas reasonably has different levels of risk but the best time to practice innovation is now. Take proactive measures and don’t wait until you hit bottom. Sometimes, the biggest risk is not taking enough risk. Lia also talks about having alliances with other companies that do something that you’ve been doing for your client to have a certain need taken care of without you running through a service or a product that’s not really your jam. You’ve probably heard about many companies merging together to broaden the services available to customers. That’s one way to look at your business from the alchemy perspective of combinations.
Part Two of ‘What Does Alchemy Mean in Business?’
Another way to develop an alchemist perspective is, if you encounter a handful amount of people complaining about something, you identify those challenges not as a barricade but a giant door of opportunity to serve your clients better. Therefore, the marketplace considers you as their hero and you eventually turn them into loyal customers for the long haul.

“Change the way you perceive your business from solely creating a profit to an act of service to the world.” – Lia Dunlap (18:58-19:09)
The bottom line is, if you want more clients, the clients that you really love, look at what they’re telling you and transmute it into what you’re giving them and what not. Customers are the lifeblood of any business.
