Key takeaways

  • Living above the line requires a conscious mental discipline of monitoring what you think, what you say, and what actions you take, shifting from doubt and fear to curiosity and possibility.
  • The first step to redesigning your business future is to become incredibly curious about what could be, creating space to listen to your internal wisdom rather than worrying about what has been or what might happen.
  • You cannot do business alone successfully—one person can give you one idea that can completely transform your business direction, making community connection essential for growth.
  • Flow and operating from your highest self happens when you function from purpose with heart-centered intention, not just from your head, which is when clients naturally become attracted to you.
  • Stop searching externally for business solutions and frameworks—the answers are internal, and the right community creates space for you to discover your own vision and purpose, then connects you with people who can help.

============================================================

[00:00] SPEAKER_00: Welcome to Canada's podcast.
[00:05] SPEAKER_01: Hi, this is Angela Faye from Canada's podcast and founder of Futureville.
[00:11] SPEAKER_01: And I am super excited about introducing you today to Carolyn, SuperMikyuit.
[00:16] SPEAKER_01: And we are really highlighting living above the line.
[00:21] SPEAKER_01: That is what we are going to talk about. We're going to talk about being ready.
[00:26] SPEAKER_01: And before we jump in and provide you oodles of ideas and and and and rules on how you can do that.
[00:33] SPEAKER_01: Both for yourself and for your family and your community.
[00:37] SPEAKER_01: I just want to bring Carolyn to the table and say Carolyn, how are we a little bit about your entrepreneurial journey and what we're doing here today.
[00:44] SPEAKER_01: Okay.
[00:47] SPEAKER_00: Thank you so much Angela for the opportunity to be here. Thank you.
[00:51] SPEAKER_00: So what I'd like to open with is that really businesses have been suffering since COVID.
[00:58] SPEAKER_00: Honestly, I want to just dive into the truth.
[01:01] SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
[01:01] SPEAKER_00: I think the truth matters.
[01:03] SPEAKER_00: And the philosophy with our networking community, the grand connection is to support those businesses that are feeling lost, that are feeling afraid, that don't have the direction that they need.
[01:15] SPEAKER_00: They don't have a community around them. They don't have the strategic alliances to support them to grow and build their business.
[01:24] SPEAKER_00: So living above the line in regards to that is a concept that I've been teaching and preaching for 40 years.
[01:35] SPEAKER_00: And it's to support businesses as it can happen in your life as well as your business.
[01:40] SPEAKER_00: And the line is the line of decision.
[01:44] SPEAKER_00: Okay. So we make decisions on what we think.
[01:47] SPEAKER_00: We make decisions on what we say and we make decisions on what we actually do.
[01:53] SPEAKER_00: So the decision can be to be in doubt and fear and criticism and judgment.
[02:01] SPEAKER_00: That's living below the line.
[02:03] SPEAKER_01: And what happens otherwise known as suffering right?
[02:06] SPEAKER_01: All of those suffering states.
[02:08] SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
[02:09] SPEAKER_00: And so many people think in their business or in their life that they don't have an opportunity that they can change that and they do.
[02:17] SPEAKER_00: Yes.
[02:18] SPEAKER_00: All that happens is receiving support around you.
[02:22] SPEAKER_00: And so that's why we're so passionate about the grand connection because we support people to really leave from living below the line, which is draining.
[02:33] SPEAKER_00: And you get stuck there.
[02:35] SPEAKER_00: So we support people to shift what I call make the decision to live above the line.
[02:42] SPEAKER_00: And living above the line is a discipline.
[02:46] SPEAKER_00: It's a mental discipline.
[02:48] SPEAKER_00: It's being conscious.
[02:50] SPEAKER_00: It's being aware of what you think.
[02:53] SPEAKER_00: What you say and what you actually follow through on what you take action on.
[02:58] SPEAKER_00: And what it starts with is a sense of wonder and curiosity about what can be not what has been or worrying about.
[03:10] SPEAKER_00: Ooh, what's going to happen in the future?
[03:12] SPEAKER_00: It's it's actually getting present and grounded and just say what do I really want in my life or my business?
[03:21] SPEAKER_00: What do I want?
[03:21] SPEAKER_00: And just opening that door of opportunity key, you see my key, I love keys.
[03:28] SPEAKER_00: So it's really turning that key all the way and saying to yourself, okay, in my business, things have changed dramatically over the last year on a bit.
[03:36] SPEAKER_00: What do I want?
[03:38] SPEAKER_00: Who are the ideal clients that I just love to work with that it's a real shared energy?
[03:45] SPEAKER_00: Like when I met you, I knew that you and I sold sisters.
[03:51] SPEAKER_00: So I did like in about two minutes.
[03:54] SPEAKER_00: Yes.
[03:54] SPEAKER_00: I'm honored.
[03:56] SPEAKER_00: You invited me, but you know, you have to collaborate like we are today with other people that resonate with the same dreams and visions and opportunities and possibilities that are possible for you and making the decision to believe in that.
[04:15] SPEAKER_01: And I, to me, there's there's a lot of talk about this right now.
[04:21] SPEAKER_01: There's actually a report that came out, which I'm happy to share a link to it at some point if anybody is curious, but apparently 50% of business owners, but also employees are thinking about and reconsidering the work that they're doing.
[04:37] SPEAKER_01: 50% today.
[04:40] SPEAKER_01: That's a lot of people who are in transition and pivot and really what I know you are from body, and which is why I wanted to talk to you today is, you know, how do you take that next step?
[04:55] SPEAKER_01: How do you take that?
[04:56] SPEAKER_01: How do you redesign, re engineer your future when.
[05:01] SPEAKER_01: And everything that we took for granted as true, we're discovering is really social conditioning.
[05:14] SPEAKER_01: So it is maybe a social conditioning.
[05:17] SPEAKER_01: We hear it all the time about living in beliefs.
[05:20] Speaker UNKNOWN: Yep.
[05:21] SPEAKER_01: And but the third is our systems that were globally connected were very much based in the scarcity economy, right?
[05:31] SPEAKER_01: Based on traditional forms of business, I believe the future is all about abundance and there's lots to go around.
[05:39] SPEAKER_01: So how does somebody, what do you, what would you recommend, Kellyn, is the first step for somebody to actually get from where they are today?
[05:48] SPEAKER_01: Yes, yes.
[05:50] SPEAKER_01: To re-engineering their future.
[05:54] SPEAKER_00: So I would say the first thing you do is become incredibly curious on what could be.
[06:03] SPEAKER_00: And we are so hooked into what has been, which is exactly what we're saying.
[06:09] SPEAKER_00: And we're so worried about what might happen.
[06:13] SPEAKER_00: In other words, 99.999% of the things that we worry about never have happened.
[06:21] SPEAKER_00: Imagine the energy and because I think energy is everything.
[06:26] SPEAKER_00: And people say to me, how can you have that much energy at 62 years old?
[06:30] SPEAKER_00: And I say, you know what, I'm very conscious of what I think about.
[06:33] SPEAKER_00: So the first thing that I'm going to suggest is open up your mind to the curiosity and what do you want?
[06:40] SPEAKER_00: Look online, look at pictures, walk and allow that internal voice of wisdom to actually speak to you.
[06:49] SPEAKER_00: But you need the place and the space for that.
[06:53] SPEAKER_00: Yes, yes.
[06:54] SPEAKER_00: How you're being guided.
[06:56] SPEAKER_00: See, I think every business has an opportunity to function from their highest self.
[07:01] SPEAKER_00: That's when clients are attracted to you.
[07:05] SPEAKER_00: That's when people hear what your business is about and how you're serving,
[07:10] SPEAKER_00: whether you are a doctor, dentist, graphic designer, florist, whatever, accounted.
[07:16] SPEAKER_00: But people can feel and be able to resonate with you when you're functioning from your highest self.
[07:22] SPEAKER_00: And the only thing that happens is if you are open, curious and aware what you're thinking,
[07:30] SPEAKER_00: what you're saying and what you're doing.
[07:33] SPEAKER_00: So even if you choose one of those things is the first, just become curious.
[07:38] SPEAKER_00: Just really pick up the mirror and people look.
[07:43] SPEAKER_00: Yes.
[07:43] SPEAKER_00: We're in charge here.
[07:45] SPEAKER_00: Really?
[07:46] SPEAKER_01: Well, one thing that you and I talked about is, and I'm just going to say, you know, being ready,
[07:51] SPEAKER_01: I wrote down three things that you and I know has to happen for people.
[07:55] SPEAKER_01: The first one is reconnecting to purpose.
[07:58] SPEAKER_01: And what does that mean?
[07:59] SPEAKER_01: And for the pragmatic people or the conservatives, you know, what is the difference between knowing that somebody is armed with a sense of purpose?
[08:12] SPEAKER_01: And they're all versus, you know, they're just busy for the sake of being busy.
[08:18] SPEAKER_01: What do you have?
[08:19] SPEAKER_01: Can you comment on that?
[08:21] SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
[08:22] SPEAKER_01: How do you know?
[08:22] SPEAKER_00: Well, I'll just tell you, when you're busy or the sake of being busy, you're exhausted just to be honest.
[08:31] SPEAKER_00: Your energy is really right.
[08:33] SPEAKER_00: You're just filling your plate with things that aren't even meaningful to you really.
[08:37] Speaker UNKNOWN: 
[08:38] SPEAKER_00: You're not connected to your vision and your direction of your business that you want.
[08:44] SPEAKER_00: Okay.
[08:44] SPEAKER_00: So I see people exhausted, tired, that their whole calendar is full and disorganized.
[08:51] SPEAKER_00: Right? So they're taking this sort of shotgun approach to everything rather than deciding specifically to focus on what they really want and who they want to serve and who they best serve within their business is critical.
[09:08] SPEAKER_00: Right?
[09:09] SPEAKER_00: So and when you function from purpose, you know the direction you're going to go, but you also are completely connected with your heart in what you do.
[09:18] SPEAKER_00: So a lot of people function just from their head in practice.
[09:25] SPEAKER_00: But we need to translate and bring that connection from their heart.
[09:28] SPEAKER_00: They're meaning their purpose, the why they're doing what they're doing.
[09:33] SPEAKER_00: I mean, I know why I am.
[09:35] SPEAKER_00: I believe I'm here to support people to let go of all fear in business, to make the decision to go for what they want in their business and watch the magic happen.
[09:45] SPEAKER_00: I see it here after year after year after year and so exciting to witness that.
[09:51] SPEAKER_00: Yes.
[09:51] SPEAKER_00: That's why my business is called Inspired Business because I have this opportunity of watching people's inspiration ignite and then pursue those dreams.
[10:02] SPEAKER_00: You can you can dream my picture about what is that?
[10:06] SPEAKER_00: And causing to dream and everything not to.
[10:12] SPEAKER_00: I think people have lost the purpose and passion to really define and design those visions and dreams for this.
[10:21] SPEAKER_00: And I think this pandemic has supported, you know, I think it's been, you know, excruciating for a lot of people and super challenging.
[10:30] SPEAKER_00: I also believe that it's given us an opportunity to kind of pull back and say, hey, what's going on here?
[10:37] SPEAKER_00: What isn't working? This is not working.
[10:40] SPEAKER_00: It's going back to your 50% of people that are like, what am I doing?
[10:45] SPEAKER_00: This isn't really working for me. What else can I do?
[10:49] SPEAKER_00: So I truly know that when people open that open their mind and open and start just doing research like in business, I always say,
[10:59] SPEAKER_00: if you really want to shift your career or your business, just start being curious and open, just do a ton of research.
[11:06] SPEAKER_00: Talk to people who do something that you think that you love to do. Talk to you. Talk to me.
[11:13] SPEAKER_00: You know, I mean, you just have to reach out. You'll be absolutely shocked. How many magnificent.
[11:19] SPEAKER_00: Yes. It's sort of kind, compassionate people that are willing to share with you.
[11:25] SPEAKER_01: Right? So pillar two is what we had connect to your purpose, which I think is way harder than, you know, simply saying, sure, connect with your purpose.
[11:38] SPEAKER_01: It was a, I ended up, you know, going through a whole coaching program over this, you know, after this COVID pivot for me.
[11:45] SPEAKER_01: And I was shy. I thought I was all purpose connected. I am refining it and getting it to where I can say in one sentence, this is my superpower.
[11:58] SPEAKER_01: And, and then, you know, embracing the Stephen Cutler Peter Diamond as bold book, which is what's your moonshot?
[12:06] SPEAKER_01: And I've, you know, I reread the book, bold again, just in this last breath. And it said something like this, if you want to be a millionaire, you need to solve a million people's problems.
[12:21] SPEAKER_01: And being a millionaire isn't the end goal, the monetary system that wealth is not that helping the million people is the end goal.
[12:31] SPEAKER_01: So I just went, oh my gosh, you know, you can, which is really about scaling. And to me, everything that you're doing in Grand Connection is totally scalable, which, because I've been in your event.
[12:42] SPEAKER_01: Awesome. Where I see opportunity for others with the bold is to connect with the moonshot. Right? That what is exponentially 10 times bigger than what you originally thought.
[12:59] SPEAKER_01: And the reason I'm suggesting this is because I believe people have a responsibility to show up as their highest and best self.
[13:11] SPEAKER_01: But because if we can show up as our highest and best self, and there's 10 times more people happier, you know, more grounded in their home life, they're not separating, they're not living below the line and they're thinking or the business.
[13:28] SPEAKER_00: And we've done our job. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I agree wholeheartedly. And, you know, I, it's, it's about the third pillar where I want to go next, which is you need a community.
[13:45] SPEAKER_00: You know what?
[13:46] SPEAKER_00: We're not acting this alone. Okay. People really listen to me here. You know, you can think you can. You can be on that hamster wheel in your thinking and it can go over and over and over again.
[13:57] SPEAKER_00: One person can give you one idea that can turn your life and your business into a hard right that I call it to go in a completely different direction that you become inspired.
[14:10] SPEAKER_00: You become useful. You begin to take action. It just gives me truth bumps here who's once totally it's it's the truth people.
[14:18] SPEAKER_00: And you know, I think that that COVID has given us an opportunity to look at the truth in our business and our life and make the changes that we need to.
[14:28] SPEAKER_00: I look at this time is we are rounding a corner here with business and with life that we are taking a big shift right now that we're really landing.
[14:40] SPEAKER_00: So we're deciding what we want. I see it over and over with all the Zoom calls I do every week is businesses are redesigning what they want.
[14:49] SPEAKER_00: And they're creating the plan to get there. Yes.
[14:52] SPEAKER_00: So I yeah.
[14:55] SPEAKER_01: Let I want to delve in a little bit about your community because and I'll phrase it that part of what I love about you Carolyn is your a community builder right you're not just a business builder your community builder.
[15:10] SPEAKER_01: And I've experienced firsthand the grand connection several times and met you know in each time there was another grand connection made right so in each.
[15:23] SPEAKER_01: In each sort of session you meet a lot of people but then you break out you niche down and then you have one you know in a credible conversation that leads you know that if you have clarity you know how to find and listen to where the gems are and you find that gems.
[15:40] SPEAKER_01: And then boom that truth and into not.
[15:42] SPEAKER_01: And to me a community is more than just a website or an event it's not a network anymore like old school was networking based on your geography things like.
[16:00] SPEAKER_01: But I'm not going to pick on chambers of commerce but let's pick on chambers of commerce right they were community based based on a physical location right you're.
[16:11] SPEAKER_01: Geographical now today we are more when we're purpose driven you align with people globally who share the same purpose and the results are usually exponential so tell me look let's tell the little bit more onto what makes grand.
[16:30] Speaker UNKNOWN: And I'm not going to pick on the grand connection.
[16:31] SPEAKER_00: I honestly it the grand connection became Susan dream as and my calling on large 50th we stood at the grand canyon and we looked out at this glorious absolute miracle of a view.
[16:48] SPEAKER_00: Yes and all I could think about behind us and Susan was the same as all these businesses that are going to be suffering because of covid all the restaurants all the business don't know how to navigate online that are going to be completely lost catatonic and that they have to do it alone I just looked at Susan and I said.
[17:06] SPEAKER_00: We have so many years of business skills training and experience and business planning to bring it's an injustice for us to sit on a roll and at that moment I knew something big happened I actually felt it in my body honestly I said yes you see this big I know it is I said I've run networking groups and mastermind groups for 30 years and you have all the back end all the logistics all the marketing.
[17:32] SPEAKER_00: I said let's come together to serve these around the world she said around the world and I said yep so I'm the visionary I'm the visionary and and so we're this amazing in paying of strengths and abilities because we really respect each other and honor each other for our differences and it's just so extraordinary and we had a strategic planning session last October.
[18:01] SPEAKER_00: And I said we're going to bring the world together she goes we are I said yeah I mean we started with 20 people and we were really really bad in the beginning honestly I said this is I don't bad would be well we were not great just to be honest but we are a philosophy with this community is that we want to create the place and the space for businesses to come in to feel inspired.
[18:32] SPEAKER_00: Energized to be a part of a community that's super organized and efficient our events are super fast paced and go to the next one and go and give people a lot of opportunity to connect create these opportunities like you said when you resonate with another business we encourage constantly follow up with the link to.
[18:53] SPEAKER_00: Yes, you know with them in the chat let's let's see the possibilities here living above the line let's see what opportunities you could have to partner to podcast to create a summit to do business together to do marketing together because it's a global marketplace exactly.
[19:11] SPEAKER_00: It is and I feel that Susan and I come from exactly the same place of deep care and intention for these businesses and we want to bring the resources that they need I mean that's our absolute goal and vision and we have I mean we've invited the best of the best speakers from around the world that usually speak to 16 70,000 people and they said sure sure.
[19:41] SPEAKER_00: You girls are great sure.
[19:45] SPEAKER_00: I looked at my vision board and I said oh my goodness I said I'm looking at my vision board to one of the speakers Dan Clark I said I'm looking at you deserve this and he goes yes you do Carolyn.
[19:58] SPEAKER_00: Yes so great so I just I know it's our job to do this and also to the to our highest good and our highest so to so we live what we invite people to do and it's just from Peru to Chile to South Africa to England to Australia to Scotland and we we partner with three other networking organizations around the world once a month.
[20:28] SPEAKER_01: And two weeks later we have expert speakers that we invite to come through that's very cool well and I've experienced all of that met Dan Clark and I'm sure others in the future who are going to be great one thing I would like to talk to is flow you and I both share that as a sort of core value.
[20:51] SPEAKER_01: Flow happens above the line yes it's impossible and my language and and analogy to the living above the line is power play is one of our.
[21:04] SPEAKER_01: I'm a future or our goal because it is impossible when you're suffering and in that whether it's doubt fear frustration boredom all those below the line states of being is you know neurology and science is proven that it is impossible to innovate create.
[21:23] SPEAKER_01: Think logically what below the line so above the line which is what we're talking about where you're experiencing high energy your experiencing anti aging your experiencing flow is also where creative creativity innovation and disruption is not only possible it actually happens like it just happened so you know I
[21:53] SPEAKER_01: It's borderline architected soundivity when you're already above the line you know providence will move to right it will happen for you when you show up with clarity and purpose which is what we talked about and then you're within a right community so from a 40 years of business experience what is flow look like moving forward for people from your perspective well to me having a.
[22:19] SPEAKER_00: My mantra for this year I always choose a phrase my phrase last year in 2020 was let go to lead okay so that would be love it this year is flow foundation are look at it's on my on my daytime right there and I look at it all the time and to me flow is is trusting in the process it is connecting to that place.
[22:49] SPEAKER_00: So it's a place within yourself that you know this is exactly what you're meant to be doing so if you don't know that yet like many people come to me and say like you said what's my purpose I don't know what my purpose is so it's it's just starting with an awareness and and the answers will will be there and come and flow foundation is being in the present moment and trusting that each action or step.
[23:19] SPEAKER_00: So I think that's the first step that you take like I'm living in flow foundation at this moment because I'm just trusting that all the knowledge and experience and back that I have lived that I'm going to bring to this moment so right it's a it's a real foundation of trust and also it's it's having that position with no ego so it's not about me okay it's it's about you know my vision and dreams I mean with the grand connection
[23:49] SPEAKER_00: we have a dream of having 5,000 members in the next three years from around the world and that's a big big goal and I really know it's going to happen because of this flow foundation that Susan and I both function from in her strengths and in mind so it's it's setting that really clear intention that that end result that you really want to experience like I love being in the middle of the world.
[24:19] SPEAKER_00: So I think that's a very important moment I absolutely adore it it takes way less energy it's super simple and that you know it just allows you to be you that's it and trust yourself that you can function from this flow foundation or flow state.
[24:40] SPEAKER_00: Yes and I think that's when we serve from our highest good.
[24:44] SPEAKER_01: So I'm going to spit all the question that I didn't prepare for you but if you had a billion dollars right now at your disposal what would you do?
[24:55] SPEAKER_00: Okay I've thought of this a lot I would do exactly what I'm doing I mean honestly I know that my life's mission is to support business when I started business I was very alone and I remember looking at the phone and just you know that that sense of you know just isolated.
[25:13] SPEAKER_00: I mean I can even you know taste it right now so I I know that happened for me to have this purpose.
[25:21] SPEAKER_00: That's the other thing about purpose I didn't mention is usually from our experiences that have been really challenging we create this purpose and passion to really support ourselves and then serve the world right like so but if I had a million dollars I would invest.
[25:40] SPEAKER_00: I'll wait.
[25:40] SPEAKER_00: I said no you have a billion here it is.
[25:44] SPEAKER_00: It was your billion dollars.
[25:46] SPEAKER_00: Okay a billion.
[25:48] SPEAKER_00: It's a lot.
[25:48] SPEAKER_00: I would absolutely create the grand connection on a vast scale just the all educational opportunities for businesses I would have all the best of the best of the world be available there.
[26:02] SPEAKER_00: I would have mentors mentees I would have the support system with Susan set up so incredibly that businesses in India in China in in Bulgaria would have an opportunity to participate and it would be a pay it forward process so it would be serving as well as receiving like it's the gift.
[26:26] SPEAKER_00: Yes yes yes yes because I think financial abundance is energy but I think when you give it comes back and it's like a big circle.
[26:34] SPEAKER_00: Yes giving is significant so I would travel that would be my ultimate dream and speak about you know the passion of what are three values are connection creation and collaboration those are three core routes and values of the grand connection.
[26:55] SPEAKER_00: So I would have a lot of experience with the grand connection and I would witness all this inspiration happening I would just love it.
[27:02] SPEAKER_01: So I'm going to introduce you to another community with which is an exponential community after today so people want to which is 10 times your goal and connecting with resources and a global community.
[27:15] SPEAKER_01: I know you're doing that yourself but imagine the convergence of these two ideas like an open EXO community and grand connection boom what might happen there so one I'm just going to encourage you well we'll talk about that later let's leave our entrepreneurs small business owners there's a lot of micro business there's a lot of macro business here listening to Canada's podcast what would what message would you love to share with them in closing.
[27:44] SPEAKER_00: I would love to let them know that all the possibilities and opportunities are available right this moment even if you think they're not they actually are and it's what I said before come to the grand connection because you're going to be in a breakout room and there's going to be someone there and you're going to think wow I could collaborate with that woman from Belgium.
[28:08] SPEAKER_00: Oh she I mean the first service could align with line perfectly let's do a program let's let's do a system let so I just want to tell you just get to the grand connection it's a great community you'll feel better.
[28:25] SPEAKER_00: You'll you'll meet the right people the like-minded people that you want to collaborate with and reach out if you're suffering.
[28:33] SPEAKER_00: Right.
[28:35] SPEAKER_00: Right.
[28:35] SPEAKER_00: Out and ask for support.
[28:38] SPEAKER_00: Great.
[28:38] SPEAKER_00: And also I'd also I'd also idea to participate in our meaningful masterminds we have two meetings a month for an hour and a half and it's an hour and a half of a deep dive into every themed expert speaker that we have each month and it gives you an opportunity to design a vision to set those goals to receive the support from small small groups around you we call accountability party.
[29:03] SPEAKER_00: And I've created you know the grand plan goals tracker and it's just and it's 99 dollars a month for two events two mastermind meetings and a master class.
[29:17] SPEAKER_00: I mean it's extraordinary value and just ask for the support when you need it.
[29:22] SPEAKER_01: I would like to actually bring something to the table based on what you're saying because I actually met Shashila in at the grand connection we talked yet earlier that she did another podcast with me.
[29:35] SPEAKER_01: And one thing that we identified that I think will ring true is when you are searching for answers externally.
[29:47] SPEAKER_01: You will probably land with a professional development expert.
[29:54] SPEAKER_01: You will be looking for their solutions you will be looking for your searching externally when you connect with them it's.
[30:04] SPEAKER_01: I mean this was her comment but I'm reiterating it will probably fail because the answers are all internal.
[30:12] SPEAKER_01: So what I want the reason I'm bringing that up is because the grand connection is not in my experience a space where you are being told what to do in business.
[30:26] SPEAKER_01: Here's a framework all of this framework do this do this if you do this this this then you know you will be successful in business which is most really what experts talk about.
[30:37] SPEAKER_01: And what the grand connection is I'm reinforcing what you're saying is you have created the space for people to discover for themselves what their deep connection and vision and purpose is.
[30:53] SPEAKER_01: And then they can get clarity and say this is what I want once you ask and say don't loud then the people in the grand connection want to connect to with people so we don't have the solution themselves.
[31:04] SPEAKER_01: They're like oh my gosh you should take this person let me send you a lead and and so it the ripple effect is quite big.
[31:13] SPEAKER_00: Well you said and I are doing a big summit that we're being interviewed on a panel and we are going to be talking about that network effect which is exactly what you just said.
[31:25] SPEAKER_00: So it's it's being clear and hearing yourself say what you want and who you are what you stand for your business and then having that connection and collaboration and then watch that so instead of just one person it turns into 10 people because you and I'm meeting today I know that there's lots more opportunities for me after this because of the people you know because they are more to you and that's it's just an example.
[31:54] SPEAKER_00: So that's what happens it's like it's like a spider web it really is and it and it it happens so fast I mean the grand connection we have a hundred people at our events every two weeks and I mean you summit once a quarter and get that many people like people are coming because they know it's good and exactly what you said.
[32:19] SPEAKER_00: It's it's it's it's a place in a space that people can connect truthfully and and and grow their business.
[32:27] SPEAKER_01: Yes. So I would love how do we connect with you what like we've talked about it but what's the actual link how we get connected to the grand connection.
[32:36] SPEAKER_00: Okay so you can go to grandconnection.ca. Okay.
