29. 1:05American Stage in four years and it
30. 1:07feels good feels really good
31. 1:11um I should not be here by the way
32. 1:13because this was the one month in the
33. 1:15year that me and my team had agreed on
34. 1:17no traveling Florencia
35. 1:19but then the Mind Valley team said do
36. 1:22you know where AFS is happening and I
37. 1:24said no and they said Colombia and I
38. 1:27heard Colombia and I could feel my hips
39. 1:30going
40. 1:31so here I am to talk about the one topic
41. 1:35that is most
42. 1:37um close to my heart right now and I'm
43. 1:38feel more most passionate about which is
44. 1:40winning is a mindset and today we're
45. 1:42going to unlock
46. 1:44Four Keys
47. 1:45to to produce magical results in our
48. 1:49lives are you ready
49. 1:51Let's Pretend We're Latin for a minute
50. 1:53let me let me ask again are we ready
51. 1:55yeah that feels better
52. 1:57I'm gonna start by sharing the story of
53. 1:59a young boy with a big dream this boy
54. 2:03yeah he pretty much dreamed about
55. 2:05playing football his entire life and he
56. 2:09got pretty good at it he started playing
57. 2:10and practicing and so his parents
58. 2:12thought the boy is good let's go and
59. 2:15take him for a tryout in one of the big
60. 2:17clubs and so they take him and there's a
61. 2:19bunch of guys there who are deciding
62. 2:21which kid they're gonna sign and which
63. 2:22kid they're not gonna sign and so when
64. 2:23they look at him they think he is good
65. 2:26but what is wrong with him he's too
66. 2:28small
67. 2:29let's get him checked with the doctors
68. 2:31and so they get him checked and yes in
69. 2:34fact he did have a problem and not a
70. 2:36small problem if you want to be a
71. 2:37football player he had a growth hormone
72. 2:39deficiency problem in essence he was
73. 2:41born with a with a problem that would
74. 2:44not allow his body to grow and so these
75. 2:47people who are deciding who they're
76. 2:48going to sign they look at him and they
77. 2:49go uh we're not signing a kid who was
78. 2:53born broken
79. 2:56have you ever felt broken before
80. 2:58have you ever felt I'm not good enough
81. 3:00I'm not talented enough
82. 3:02I'm not wealthy enough I'm not healthy
83. 3:04enough I'm not sexy enough there's
84. 3:06something wrong with me well this kid
85. 3:08yeah he was born with a broken body but
86. 3:12he was definitely not born with a broken
87. 3:14mindset
88. 3:15and so he said I'm going to keep
89. 3:17dreaming
90. 3:18I'm going to keep believing and I will
91. 3:22do whatever it takes to make this dream
92. 3:24come true even if they say it is
93. 3:27impossible that it is physically
94. 3:28impossible whatever it takes
95. 3:31and if that means that every day I have
96. 3:33to stick a needle in my leg just to see
97. 3:36if my body will want to grow I will do
98. 3:38that
99. 3:39and he kept going and he kept dreaming
100. 3:41at one point he said yes I'm not as tall
101. 3:44as the rest I'm not as strong as the
102. 3:47rest I will just have to learn how to
103. 3:49play football in a different way
104. 3:52and this boy who was nicknamed La Pulga
105. 3:56in his home country which in English
106. 3:58means the flea because of how tiny he
107. 4:00was became the biggest player of all
108. 4:03times
109. 4:04because this is the true story of Lionel
110. 4:06Messi
111. 4:08yes it is and you can give him a hand
112. 4:11the guy who created history in football
113. 4:14the guy who just won a World Cup at age
114. 4:1635 after trying for 16 years
115. 4:19the guy who was named seven times best
116. 4:22player in the world in three different
117. 4:24decades which says a lot about him and
118. 4:27once he was asked did you ever dream
119. 4:29about this and he said I've been
120. 4:32dreaming about this big dream my entire
121. 4:35life and the reason I admire this guy so
122. 4:38much it's not because of how well he
123. 4:39plays football and it's not because we
124. 4:42were both born in the same country but
125. 4:44it is because of his extraordinary
126. 4:46talent to take a problem just imagine
127. 4:48wanting to play football and being born
128. 4:51with that problem he took a problem
129. 4:53transformed it into a an opportunity
130. 4:55using his mindset
131. 4:58and maybe you're looking at this and you
132. 5:00think cool story Florencia but just in

140. 5:20athletes the distance between an elite
141. 5:22athlete and a trophy is the exact same
142. 5:25distance between you and your next big
143. 5:28dream
144. 5:29this distance

162. 6:11to them in private they're scared of
163. 6:13going big
164. 6:14why do I know this and this one might
165. 6:16surprise you
166. 6:17because I teach this
167. 6:20um about a year ago I was talking with
168. 6:21my son my ten-year-old son about having
169. 6:24Big Dreams and so
170. 6:25the power of having a big scary dream
171. 6:27and so he looks at me and he goes so Mom
172. 6:30what's her next big dream
173. 6:32and I say well I'm working on a new book

177. 6:40I go well honey writing a book is a
178. 6:42pretty big deal you know it goes yeah
179. 6:44Mom but you said that dreams are
180. 6:45supposed to be scary and exciting and
181. 6:47you've been doing that for many years
182. 6:48that's not scary for you
183. 6:50and I go well yeah I'm also planning on
184. 6:52growing the business and he goes mom
185. 6:54you're so boring
186. 6:56I want something scary and exciting and
187. 6:59so I look at him and I say well okay
188. 7:00listen my boring job pays the bills
189. 7:03takes you on vacation it's getting late
190. 7:05time to take a shower go to bed
191. 7:08but that night as I go to bed
192. 7:12it Dawns on me
193. 7:14the kid was right
194. 7:16I was teaching this and it had been a
195. 7:19long time since I had my own big scary
196. 7:22dream it had been a long time and so I
197. 7:25realized
198. 7:26but I was not the same Florencia I was
199. 7:2915 years ago you see at the beginning of
200. 7:31my journey I was I was a go-getter I was
201. 7:34a bowl dreamer I was a girl who would
202. 7:36knock on every door who would get a
203. 7:38hundred notes until I got a yes I would
204. 7:39take risks I would fail and they would
205. 7:41then try again but at one point
206. 7:43my business grew I became more well
207. 7:45known my books became bestsellers
208. 7:47whatever and at one point I said uh
209. 7:50let's take things a little bit more
210. 7:52cautiously you know
211. 7:54and so I went from playing to win to
212. 7:57playing not to lose and let me show you
213. 8:00now what playing not to lose looks like
214. 8:04so play not to lose in essence is you
215. 8:06keep on doing what you know how to do so
216. 8:08in essence what you do is you avoid
217. 8:10taking risks and by avoid taking risks
218. 8:13you also avoid failure and by avoiding
219. 8:16failure I avoid feeling dumb and by
220. 8:20avoid feeling dumb
221. 8:22um in some point I could feel
222. 8:25safe
223. 8:27but do you sense a problem here I could
224. 8:30feel safe but I was not
225. 8:33I was not growing I was not growing
226. 8:36anymore
227. 8:37have you ever let's see let's do a quick
228. 8:39thing Close Your Eyes For a Moment it's
229. 8:41a quick show hence nobody will see
230. 8:42except me so you can be brutally honest
231. 8:45raise your hand if
232. 8:48if you have not had a big scary dream
233. 8:50for a long time raise your hand
234. 8:53raise your hand if you do have a big
235. 8:55scary dream but it's so far away that
236. 8:57you feel completely disconnected from it
237. 8:59raise your hand
238. 9:00raise your hand if you deeply feel that
239. 9:02you could be playing a bigger game than
240. 9:04the one you're playing raise your hand
241. 9:08all right now you can open your eyes and
242. 9:11let me just tell you something
243. 9:12we're all together here
244. 9:14if you raise your hand you're in the
245. 9:17right place if you do not raise your
246. 9:19hand you're in the right place you know
247. 9:20why because we all human beings have one
248. 9:23thing in common we all want to live the
249. 9:26highest and the truest expression of
250. 9:28ourselves
251. 9:29and so no matter where you and are in
252. 9:32your life right now you all have we all
253. 9:34have a next level
254. 9:37yet sometimes we don't even know what
255. 9:40that next level looks like
256. 9:42a while ago I was coaching a very famous
257. 9:45athlete very famous one top of the game
258. 9:48he comes to me and he says I have a
259. 9:50problem and I said what's that and he
260. 9:52says I have not win a Grand Slam in two
261. 9:54years and it's getting on me
262. 9:57and so I look at him and I say so what's
263. 9:59your big dream
264. 10:00and he says what do you mean I want to
265. 10:02go back to playing well I want to go
266. 10:04back to my level and I said that's all
267. 10:06come on dream bigger what's your dream
268. 10:09he says well I would like to win a grand
269. 10:10slam this year okay how fast do you want
270. 10:12that to happen
271. 10:14well if it happens within one year I'd
272. 10:16be happy what is the fastest you want
273. 10:19that to happen
274. 10:21I says well the U.S open is happening
275. 10:24within five weeks
276. 10:25that would be nice and so I look at him
277. 10:28and I ask him can you allow yourself to
278. 10:30dream about winning the U.S open in five
279. 10:32weeks he goes heck yeah
280. 10:36what do you think happened in five weeks
281. 10:37did you win
282. 10:39yes he did win now here's the
283. 10:41interesting part because he won the US
284. 10:42Open in five weeks but did his level of
285. 10:46talent change in five weeks
286. 10:48yes or no no this is opponent's level of
287. 10:52talent had drastically dropped in five
288. 10:54weeks yes or no no the only thing that
289. 10:57changed was his mindset he set his mind
290. 11:00to believe that that big dream was
291. 11:03possible and so he did it and he and it
292. 11:06came true
293. 11:07and by the way he won three out of the
294. 11:09five grand slams that year
295. 11:11and so now I want you to think about
296. 11:13what your next big dream is and in a
297. 11:16moment I will have you write it down in
298. 11:18one short powerful sentence but I want
299. 11:20you to consider two aspects before you
300. 11:22write first one is
301. 11:24can you make it bigger
302. 11:26can you make it bigger bigger might be
303. 11:30um adding a zero to your Revenue goal
304. 11:33bigger could be if your goal is or your
305. 11:36dream is to write a book
306. 11:37become International bestseller or take
307. 11:41your business across the border whatever
308. 11:42that is can you make it bigger
309. 11:46and the second aspect to consider is can
310. 11:48you make it faster
311. 11:50the time we gave ourselves to do
312. 11:52something is usually the time it takes
313. 11:55us to do it so can you make it bigger in
314. 11:59in size can you make it shorter in time
315. 12:02and now I'll give you a minute write it
316. 12:04down one powerful sentence my next big
317. 12:07dream is
318. 12:09it could be personal professional
319. 12:11whatever you want to dream about just
320. 12:13write it down
321. 12:16all right
322. 12:18so key number one have big dreams and
323. 12:20remember we all tend to dream smaller
324. 12:22and we all tend to give ourselves too
325. 12:24much time to achieve them so go bigger
326. 12:26go faster step number two is big words
327. 12:30what do I mean by big words
328. 12:33the words we speak create realities do
329. 12:36we know this yes or no yes because they
330. 12:40change your subconscious mind they
331. 12:41produce a change in reality is that true
332. 12:43or not yes okay now what are the two
333. 12:46most powerful words according to
334. 12:48research
335. 12:49I am I am in Spanish
336. 12:53in French
337. 12:56in
338. 12:57Chinese I have no idea but what I do
339. 13:01know
340. 13:03what is
341. 13:05ho hi oh
342. 13:08oh hi we always learn something new
343. 13:09thank you
344. 13:11um what I do know is that the two most
345. 13:14powerful words according to researcher I
346. 13:16am because whatever we say after them
347. 13:19shapes are Destiny why because our
348. 13:21subconscious mind whenever we say I am
349. 13:23takes us a recommend and this is the
350. 13:26thing I know you all know this
351. 13:29we all know right
352. 13:31yet study after study shows that we
353. 13:35don't practice it we don't quick quiz
354. 13:38again how many thoughts do we have per
355. 13:40day
356. 13:42yeah yeah there's a debate but a minimum
357. 13:45of 50 000 right how many and what
358. 13:46percentage of those thoughts are
359. 13:48negative
360. 13:4980 and about those eighty percent how
361. 13:52many are about our own selves
362. 13:55most of them most of them eighty percent
363. 13:58our self-talk is negative
364. 14:01so
365. 14:03um this is stressful right
366. 14:05let me just do something
367. 14:07to de-stress for a second
368. 14:12no
369. 14:14what
370. 14:16why not
371. 14:18good for me
372. 14:20how do you know
373. 14:23there
374. 14:25there's research
375. 14:27there's research that shows what
376. 14:29that this is bad for you we've all seen
377. 14:31the horror photos right
378. 14:33I wish we had horror photos that showed
379. 14:36what are negative crappy self-talk does
380. 14:38to us
381. 14:40what if we had a horror photo that
382. 14:42showed what our negative self-talk does
383. 14:43to our self-esteem
384. 14:45to our mental health and to our results
385. 14:50because maybe maybe just maybe if we had
386. 14:53the horror photos we would decide that
387. 14:56doing this is just a stock sick it's
388. 14:58doing this
389. 15:00and we would quit them both in a second
390. 15:04now
391. 15:06we know this we don't practice it we
392. 15:09think that self-positive self-talk is uh
393. 15:13well it's kind of like a feel-good
394. 15:15little thing that doesn't really change
395. 15:17anything right
396. 15:18well self-talk is the fastest way to
397. 15:21produce a self-fulfilling prophecy on a
398. 15:24neurobiological level and that's on
399. 15:27super complex and it's super easy
400. 15:29when you have conscious positive
401. 15:31self-talk your brain releases chemicals
402. 15:33that not only make you feel good make
403. 15:36you perform better check this out do we
404. 15:38have tennis fans in the house raise your
405. 15:40hands okay we do have a few even if
406. 15:43you're not a tennis fan you've probably
407. 15:45seen or heard these names before Roger
408. 15:47Federer and Rafael Nadal have you ever
409. 15:49heard of them
410. 15:50well I'm glad you do because they have
411. 15:52dominated the game of tennis for a
412. 15:55decade or more they dominated to a point
413. 15:58that other Grand Slam players thought it
414. 16:00was completely impossible to beat them
415. 16:03until one day a young guy who nobody
416. 16:06knew came out and publicly said I'm
417. 16:09gonna beat them
418. 16:11and everybody thought
419. 16:13who does he think is
420. 16:15nobody knows him he comes from a country
421. 16:17with no tradition in tennis and he says

477. 18:42encourage you to keep on doing this okay
478. 18:44keep on talking about your dreams
479. 18:51did anybody here experience as they were
480. 18:55sharing their dream
481. 18:56that a part of your brain went
482. 18:59yeah
483. 19:01um
484. 19:02yeah
485. 19:03and thank you for the honesty because
486. 19:05not many people will
487. 19:08will acknowledge that sometimes when the
488. 19:10big dream we have is either so big or so
489. 19:14different from our current reality our
490. 19:16brain might go yeah right
491. 19:19this is something that happens when I
492. 19:21start working with people and I I coach
493. 19:23women to build online businesses so they
494. 19:25can have a lifestyle they love and
495. 19:27sometimes they tell me things like yeah
496. 19:28well I tell myself I'm going to build an
497. 19:30online business that's going to Give Me
498. 19:31Freedom Financial Independence
499. 19:33flexibility and then my brain goes
500. 19:36quick reality check uh you have a nine
501. 19:38to five that you hate a job that you
502. 19:41cannot stand a boss that is terrible and
503. 19:43you don't have enough money for rent so
504. 19:45how do we build a winning mindset when
505. 19:48our reality is so different from what we
506. 19:50dream that is when we tap into the power
507. 19:53of our subconscious mind there's many
508. 19:54ways but this is my favorite one of all
509. 19:57so what I do every single day it only
510. 19:58takes me 90 seconds and that's why I
511. 20:01love it because when I say I have no
512. 20:03time this is 90 seconds and all I do I
513. 20:07usually do it after meditation but even
514. 20:08if I don't have or I skip the meditation
515. 20:10I do this every day
516. 20:12I rehearse in my mind being the person
517. 20:15that is already
518. 20:18happier healthier wealthier sexier
519. 20:21whatever you want to do I rehearse in my
520. 20:24mind already having more influence more
521. 20:27impact more flexibility it only takes 90
522. 20:30seconds and every day you can change up
523. 20:31a little of the things you see when you
524. 20:34do that you create a new reality in your
525. 20:37mind and as you know the mind doesn't
526. 20:39tell the difference between real reality
527. 20:41and imagined one and if you do this
528. 20:43every single day with presence and
529. 20:45Consciousness your subconscious mind
530. 20:48will make sure that the ideal you
531. 20:50happens 10 times faster so I I recommend
532. 20:54you do it
533. 20:55okay so big dreams we stretch the dream
534. 20:59we shorten the time frame we use the big
535. 21:00words the I am with power with
536. 21:03Consciousness and now we're going into
537. 21:05the big actions so here is the time
538. 21:08where we go from dreaming about it and
539. 21:10visualizing and all the nice stuff to
540. 21:13actually doing it
541. 21:15and when we give that step it could will
542. 21:17happen that emotions this thing that
543. 21:21Eric was portraying so masterfully
544. 21:23emotions can take a hold of us
545. 21:25because emotions are great guides but
546. 21:27they're very poor Masters
547. 21:30and with the mere thought that what if I
548. 21:32fail
549. 21:33so what if I invest money time energy
550. 21:35and this project completely bombs with
551. 21:37that mere thought we feel nervous we
552. 21:40feel anxious we feel scared
553. 21:43and I know that emotional Mastery is a
554. 21:45huge subject and I'm not even going to
555. 21:46try to cover it in the 20 minutes we got
556. 21:48left I was a professor in the university
557. 21:50and a master's coaching degree and my
558. 21:54class was called emotional Mastery so I
559. 21:55know that there's a lot to be talked
560. 21:57about but today I want to give you the
561. 21:58one tool one tool that I know can
562. 22:01produce instant change in your emotions
563. 22:04instant it can take you from feeling
564. 22:06nervous and anxious and scared to
565. 22:08feeling empowered and ready and
566. 22:10confident ready for it
567. 22:12I discovered this tool 13 years ago
568. 22:15when I was facing one of my biggest
569. 22:18professional challenges in my entire
570. 22:19career I had just been signed as a
571. 22:22speaker for Sony Music which was a very
572. 22:24rare thing because Sony Music would only
573. 22:25take
574. 22:26you know musicians on tour and the
575. 22:30president of Sony music's thought he was
576. 22:31a great idea that we had our opening
577. 22:33night in the maipo theater
578. 22:36if you've ever been to Buenos Aires this
579. 22:39is the most iconic theater I would say
580. 22:41even in Latin America this is where the
581. 22:44best ballet dancers perform were the
582. 22:47best opera singers sing and for some
583. 22:48reason
584. 22:49we were doing our opening night there
585. 22:51and so we were having a rehearsal and I
586. 22:54remember this so vividly as you would
587. 22:56worry it was many years ago but I
588. 22:58remember and so we were doing the
589. 22:59checking the lights and the sound and I
590. 23:02was standing in the theater and doing my
591. 23:04visualization thing and I'm imagining
592. 23:06this whole place filled with people and
593. 23:08then suddenly one man walks in
594. 23:11he was in his like 70s or something so
595. 23:14he walks over he introduces himself
596. 23:17nice to meet you I've been running this
597. 23:19theater for 40 years and I don't think I
598. 23:22know your name what kind of artist are
599. 23:24you
600. 23:25and I go and so he goes um are you a
601. 23:28singer no no sir I'm not a singer do you
602. 23:31play instruments no are you actress
603. 23:34no sir no
604. 23:37you are your dancer
605. 23:39well after a few drinks I can make my
606. 23:42moves I'm trying to make him smile he's
607. 23:43not even smiling and now he looks at me
608. 23:45and he says
609. 23:46what kind of artists are you
610. 23:49and so I say I'm a motivational speaker
611. 23:54and he looks at me like I just landed
612. 23:57from outer space
613. 23:59he says you're a what motivational
614. 24:02speakers I speak and I motivate people
615. 24:04to go for their dreams
616. 24:07and he says
617. 24:09and people are going to pay
618. 24:12to come to listen you speak in this
619. 24:15theater
620. 24:17and I say yes of course with a fake
621. 24:22smile and a fake sense of confidence and
622. 24:25the moment he walked out the room I felt
623. 24:27like a bag of poop had been dropped on
624. 24:28my head and was Dripping all over me and
625. 24:30I started to obsess around the thought
626. 24:32what if this is one huge mistake this
627. 24:34guy knows this nobody's going to pay a
628. 24:36ticket we're going to embarrass
629. 24:38ourselves and the next two weeks we're
630. 24:39one long proof of what emotions can do
631. 24:41to you when you don't Master them I'm
632. 24:43talking about tossing and turning in
633. 24:45battle kind of emotions I'm talking
634. 24:47about snapping at my husband and my kids
635. 24:49for no reason I'm talking about anxiety
636. 24:51diarrhea all day long it was not pretty
637. 24:55and so at one point I thought you know
638. 24:56what this is ridiculous we're 10 days
639. 24:58away from the event no tickets have been
640. 25:00sold
641. 25:01and so I'm about to call Sony music and
642. 25:03tell them we're going to cancel this
643. 25:05whole ridiculous idea of
644. 25:07and as I'm about to do that and I'm
645. 25:08about to grab my phone for some reason I
646. 25:11suddenly remember a mantra
647. 25:14a powerful Mantra that was taught to me
648. 25:16by Jack Canfield a friend former mentor
649. 25:19and he taught me this many years ago so
650. 25:22I have no idea why I remember that on
651. 25:24that spot and he said Florencia whenever
652. 25:26you want to go for something
653. 25:28but you feel scared or you're nervous or
654. 25:31you're anxious activate this powerful
655. 25:33Mantra it will shift everything for you
656. 25:36and so I said okay do you want to learn
657. 25:37it
658. 25:38yeah
659. 25:40okay let's do something so in order to
660. 25:43learn this I'm going to be playing some
661. 25:45music and we will be chanting a few ohms
662. 25:48and please chant with me because I'm bad
663. 25:50at this
664. 25:52and after we turned a few ohms we will
665. 25:54be chanting the Mantra before we do that
666. 25:57just can you tap into the feelings of
667. 25:59uh nervousness or an easiness or being a
668. 26:03little scared of your big dream can you
669. 26:05tap into that
670. 26:07if you can't
671. 26:09if you don't feel a little scared
672. 26:11you're not dreaming big enough
673. 26:13so come on tap into that thing of like
674. 26:15what if I don't make it what if it's not

725. 28:59not so much I cannot tell you how many
726. 29:01times I have told myself Florencia what
727. 29:05the heck go for it anyway sometimes we
728. 29:07feel we have to get rid of anxiety and
729. 29:10get rid of fear and feel absolutely
730. 29:12confident that's you don't need
731. 29:14to get rid of them
732. 29:16they will always be there in fact they
733. 29:19might be a sign that you're going big
734. 29:22so all you got to do is grab those
735. 29:23emotions by the hand and tell them
736. 29:27let me take you dancing
737. 29:29what the heck and you do it okay so
738. 29:33opening night finally came for us and
739. 29:35here's the thing about Latin American
740. 29:37theaters they're very beautiful but it
741. 29:39works like this you don't know how many
742. 29:41people bought the ticket because they
743. 29:42buy it on the spot
744. 29:45and so we're there with my mother
745. 29:46because I was doing this with my mom
746. 29:48and we're standing in the backstage of
747. 29:50this beautiful theater
748. 29:52and there's a big red velvety garden and
749. 29:54we hear some
750. 29:56voices there and so we think well
751. 29:58someone came
752. 30:00might be friends and family
753. 30:02but what the heck let's do it anyway
754. 30:05and so we're standing there and the big
755. 30:07red velvety Gardens rise and our Jaws
756. 30:11dropped
757. 30:12because this is what we saw
758. 30:19thank you we had a full house
759. 30:22and we had the longest loudest most
760. 30:25unforgettable Standing Ovation we had
761. 30:27ever dreamed of and my big learning was
762. 30:30never wait for emotions to totally sell
763. 30:33do it anyway
764. 30:35all right and we're stepping onto our
765. 30:37fourth key for today so we got the Big
766. 30:40Dreams we stretched them out we
767. 30:41shortened the time we use the big words
768. 30:42we take the big actions no matter what
769. 30:46and then what I call this the big moves
770. 30:49what do I mean by big moves I mean the
771. 30:51big decisions what do I mean by big
772. 30:53decisions the decisions that move the
773. 30:55ball forward
774. 30:56now the problem is
775. 30:58that many times we think we're moving
776. 31:02the ball forward
777. 31:03but we aren't
778. 31:05and we think we're moving the ball
779. 31:07forward because we are very busy we work
780. 31:10a lot
781. 31:11and maybe we're super responsible and
782. 31:13diligent and very very busy all day long
783. 31:15but what if I told you
784. 31:17that being busy does not equal moving
785. 31:20the ball forward in your business and
786. 31:22your life
787. 31:23what if your busy schedule was getting
788. 31:25in the way of making your dreams come
789. 31:27true
790. 31:29what if your basic schedule was your
791. 31:31excuse to not make
792. 31:33the big decisions that you know you need
793. 31:35to make in order to transform your life
794. 31:38that's exactly what happened to me
795. 31:42so for more than 10 years I had a big
796. 31:45dream in the back of my mind
797. 31:47and the big dream was
798. 31:49what if I took everything I've built in
799. 31:52the Spanish-speaking world what if I
800. 31:54took it to the English speaking Market
801. 31:57and then I would look at my schedule and
802. 31:59I'd be like yeah right you need to buy a
803. 32:01new life it's undoable
804. 32:03I'm running my business I'm very busy
805. 32:06I'm a mother of two kids and doable
806. 32:07maybe next life
807. 32:09and so I would just like push it away
808. 32:11and then one day as I shared before my
809. 32:1310 year old son comes and says Mom it's
810. 32:16been a long time
811. 32:17since you've gone for a big dream and so
812. 32:20I realized I was saying I have no time
813. 32:22for this and so I did what I usually
814. 32:24tell my clients to do when they say I
815. 32:25have no time I told them to I told
816. 32:27myself to do a brutally honest
817. 32:30self-audit of my time
818. 32:33and I strongly recommend that if you
819. 32:35feel you have no time do a brutally
820. 32:38honest self-audit what this looks like
821. 32:40is you take an entire week and you
822. 32:43analyze everything you do everything
823. 32:45hour by hour
824. 32:47I did that
825. 32:49and at the end of that week
826. 32:52I realized I'm trying to find a way to
827. 32:55explain what I realized have you guys
828. 32:58read the book by Tim Ferriss the four
829. 32:59hour work week
830. 33:01okay some of you did for those of you
831. 33:03who have not in essence he explains you
832. 33:05should be spending eighty percent of
833. 33:07your time in 20 of the activities that
834. 33:10drive the big results
835. 33:12well I was far from that let's just put
836. 33:14it that way I was very far from that I
837. 33:16was busy I was working a lot
838. 33:18but I'm very ashamed to say that most of
839. 33:22the things that I was doing were not
840. 33:23that important we're not moving the ball
841. 33:25forward
842. 33:26and that is what I call productive
843. 33:28procrastination it's not the type of
844. 33:31procrastination where you lay in bed and
845. 33:32watch Netflix all day long no it's the
846. 33:35type where you keep yourself busy doing
847. 33:38a ton of things
848. 33:40and
849. 33:41you don't do what you know you should be
850. 33:43doing
851. 33:46so if you resonate with this in any
852. 33:49degree I invite you to write down this
853. 33:51the following question and take it and
854. 33:53work with this when you go back home
855. 33:56what are the three big decisions that
856. 34:00you made in the last three months
857. 34:02big decisions the ones that move the
858. 34:04ball forward in your business and in
859. 34:06your life and in the if the answer is
860. 34:08none it's time to take a self-audit and
861. 34:12it's time to ask yourself
862. 34:15how do I change this
863. 34:20and so I was almost done with a shameful
864. 34:23week of self-auditing my time and
865. 34:25feeling quite depressed of what I was
866. 34:27realizing and I received this was one
867. 34:30year ago and I received a call from mind
868. 34:32Valley
869. 34:34and they tell me Florencia do you want
870. 34:35to come as a as a speaker to afest
871. 34:38to the aphis that happened one year ago
872. 34:40and I said sure I can come but you guys
873. 34:44remember that my quest is only in
874. 34:46Spanish right I'll say yeah well but you
875. 34:48can speak English come and do your thing
876. 34:51fine I go I do my thing were any of you
877. 34:54there last year
878. 34:58um
879. 34:59you guys changed my life that day
880. 35:03you changed my life that day and let me
881. 35:04let me explain why
882. 35:08thank you for letting me catch my breath
883. 35:12um so what happened is I got off stage
884. 35:15and I got such overwhelmingly positive
885. 35:17feedback and such overwhelmingly
886. 35:19unanimous message of do this in English
887. 35:22take it to to the English speaking we
888. 35:24want to take you as a speaker so I get
889. 35:26booked as a speaker eight eight speaking
890. 35:28engagements on the spot and as I'm
891. 35:30flying on the plane back home I'm flying
892. 35:32back to Spain I make my big decision I'm
893. 35:35going to launch my brand in English and
894. 35:37so the first thing I do I make it right
895. 35:39on time to go for pickup to my son at
896. 35:42school I pick him up I take him to the
897. 35:44beach and I tell him buddy I have a big
898. 35:46dream to share with you
899. 35:48and he goes
900. 35:49another book
901. 35:52no it's not another book this is a big
902. 35:54scary one I'm going to launch everything
903. 35:56I do in English and so he says and why
904. 35:58is that scary mom well why because
905. 36:01nobody knows me here nobody knows me I
906. 36:03have no books no products no team no
907. 36:05office and no guarantee that this will
908. 36:07work and so he looks at me and he goes
909. 36:11way to go mama
910. 36:13way to go
911. 36:15and so the second decision I make is if
912. 36:18I'm gonna do this I'm going to do this
913. 36:19fast
914. 36:21because the time you give yourself to do
915. 36:22something is usually the time it takes
916. 36:24you to do it so right now I want you to
917. 36:25imagine that dream you wrote
918. 36:28I want you to get in touch with that
919. 36:29dream and now I want you to imagine that
920. 36:31you're the pilot of a plane
921. 36:33and that ahead of you you have a short
922. 36:35run way and at the end of the runway
923. 36:38there's a big fat line of trees and in
924. 36:40the back of that plane is your family
925. 36:42sitting
926. 36:43and your job is to make that thing fly
927. 36:46would you go slowly overthinking every
928. 36:49step or would you hit that pedal and
929. 36:52make that thing fly as fast as you can
930. 36:55so I decided I'm going to make this
931. 36:57thing Fly Fast first move I do I arrive
932. 36:59to Spain I rent an office look at the
933. 37:01glamor of this Vision does it remind you
934. 37:03of the Mind Valley offices
935. 37:05very much not quite there it was
936. 37:07depressing but you know I wanted it fast
937. 37:09within three weeks it was looking better
938. 37:11within five weeks we had our first
939. 37:13Studio we started producing content I
940. 37:15started hiring people I decide I'm gonna
941. 37:17go and hire high-end people I start
942. 37:19Consulting with some of the most
943. 37:20Brilliant Minds in the industry some of
944. 37:22which are sitting here and you know who
945. 37:23you are and thank you so much for
946. 37:25joining and jumping into this project
947. 37:27and I started getting invitations to go
948. 37:29to speak to to some of the most amazing
949. 37:31places in the Middle East and in Europe
950. 37:33and I
951. 37:34I don't want to sound like this was all
952. 37:36unicorns and rainbows because it wasn't
953. 37:38it was not easy
954. 37:40the first project we launched we worked
955. 37:42really hard on it it completely bombed
956. 37:44and failed the Instagram account I
957. 37:46started and let me tell you it's pretty
958. 37:48humbling to start from zero I went from
959. 37:51over half a million in one spec in one
960. 37:53language to zero and so I diligently
961. 37:55work and I post and we have a social
962. 37:57media and manager and and when we
963. 37:59reached 20K the account gets hacked and
964. 38:01blocked I have been waking up at 5am
965. 38:05every single day for the past year
966. 38:07including Saturdays and Sundays I'm
967. 38:08doing a juggling act between running the
968. 38:10business in Latin America running the
969. 38:12new business in Europe and raising my
970. 38:14two wonderful kids and you might be
971. 38:16wondering Florencia are you driving
972. 38:17yourself to a burnout
973. 38:20no I am not
974. 38:23and this is what I know
975. 38:25about airplanes
976. 38:27and this is also what I know about
977. 38:29dreams
978. 38:31an airplane will burn 60 percent of its
979. 38:34fuel
980. 38:35during takeoff
981. 38:38now once it is up in the air
982. 38:41it will fly across half the globe
983. 38:44with the fuel that it has left
984. 38:48and dreams are the same way
985. 38:50at the beginning of your dream
986. 38:52you will have to struggle probably and
987. 38:55struggle is probably not the word you
988. 38:57will have to put your head down and put
989. 38:58the hours in and you will burn most of
990. 39:01your fuel in the beginning
991. 39:03but once you get that thing flying it
992. 39:05can take you wherever you want to go
993. 39:08winning is not about achieving things
994. 39:12winning is about who we become in the
995. 39:14process of achieving them
996. 39:16winning is about tapping into our inner
997. 39:19energy the energy that gets ignited when
998. 39:21we have a new big dream
999. 39:23winning is about having energy
1000. 39:25so much energy that you want to jump out
1001. 39:27of bed in the morning to start your day
1002. 39:29winning is about honoring Who We Are
1003. 39:32and who we may become it's about
1004. 39:34listening to that inner voice that says
1005. 39:37I will not settle for less than what I'm
1006. 39:39meant to be because if I am still alive
1007. 39:42I am here to be exploring and be
1008. 39:44expanding and be growing and we were all
1009. 39:47born with an inner force that can make
1010. 39:50absolutely and a dream come true
1011. 39:53one year ago as I was standing here
1012. 39:57you inspired me to go for my next dream
1013. 40:01I sincerely hope that our time together
1014. 40:03today has inspired you to go for your
1015. 40:06next dream in a big
1016. 40:08bold
1017. 40:09way
1018. 40:11thank you very much
