Meeting Transcript:
@0:01 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
This meeting is being recorded. Another minute for people to arrive. So I've got the Fathom note taker. I also have the super normal AI note taker.
there's two different AI note takers that will be taking notes during this call. I'm trying each one. Again, we're going to be experimenting with lot of stuff.
This is the foundational group. So there will be some experimentation, which is going to be the theme of this entire three months is experimenting.
Being in the startup world, quite literally the only time people succeeded was when they experimented. When they tried and failed and tried and failed and tried and failed, of a sudden it worked.
Awesome, beautiful. Looks like almost everyone is here. We've got 12 incredible bright creators. in this foundation round, which I'm so excited about.
it's so good to see you guys. Welcome, welcome. All right, so in this. Let's see, Lorraine is at my camera and I'm mean, or not working.
OK, we can figure that out once we are getting to you, but I can also ask you to unmute when the time is awesome.
When it's your time, cool. All right, so I'm going go over some logistics for this call and then we'll get to intros.
So this is really just to get to know each other, which I'm very, very excited to get to know you guys.
Really awesome seeing all of your faces here. Seeing some familiar faces. This is as well. All right, so happy Lionsgate, everyone.
8-8 Lionsgate. It has already been quite magnificent. A lot of stuff has been happening lately. Some pretty significant life changes for me.
And here we are, the beginning of an incredible journey. I'm so excited for this. This has been something that I have been sharing with a lot of my spiritual teacher friends, my entrepreneur friends, this blueprint, because it's worked so well for me.
And I know that it can work really well for basically anyone who implements it, who has that following that's growing, who has that idea.
that's working and so now this is the very first time that I'm putting it all together in this step-by-step process that'll be going on over the next three months so that you guys can implement it by the end of these three months you can have an entire business set up an entire automated business everything you need now as I mentioned in the intro video you might take longer and that's totally fine I've done a lot of different programs like these and sometimes I just need to take a little bit longer the first part social media that may be your entire three months the entire time you're just working on going viral totally fine when you want to get to the business part when you want to create the course create the offer create the automation it will all be there the way that this is set up is a way in which you don't need the live calls I want you guys to show up the live calls but the course is A to Z it's gonna be
absolutely everything. So even if takes a little bit you can use the course to create everything that you need.
So I've given access to the bright creators to everyone who's in it. I know a lot of you have already saw it.
A lot of you have been commenting that you are creators. That is the second theme of this program is that you're a creator.
So you are all now creators. Just imagine within you that creator energy just started to get brighter and brighter and brighter and brighter.
Now that creator energy is a lot of fun to play with because essentially it means you get to share.
You get to share your inner world with your outer world. That is what goes viral. That is what makes money.
That is what is magnetic. That's what brings people to you. When you start to share the, it's like an energetic swirling of excitement with the world, people love it.
People are always saying, well, if, you know, I don't know if I'm exactly like I'm not like the top expert I look up to that one person on YouTube or I read their book and like they're the expert not me like how can that how can I how can I be here how can I be sharing a lot of people have that imposter syndrome.
And you only need to be 10% better than the people that you're teaching so there is always going to be someone who needs what you have to offer.
You know, you could be learning a new foreign language and you're just learning words right now. You're just learning words you haven't even gotten to conversation and you're like I can't teach this but there are some people who knows the zero words you can start teaching the words of those people.
And that'll be very, very valuable to them and as you're learning more you can teach them even more. So just know that you are ready all of you are here because you have something that you want to share and.
Blocks are something that will be healing will be sweeping away will be shining that light of awareness on them.
The more that we shine that light of awareness, the more our shadows can't hide. love the darkness. That's where they live.
But once we just simply shine awareness on shadows, they can't exist. They have been seen. So some of the shadows that may show up, that imposter syndrome, I don't know if I'm good enough.
Worthiness issues. Do I deserve a lot of money? You know, I certainly have that one. Who here at Ray the Hands had some worthiness issues, some money issues, money blocks.
I grew up where my parents were always like, it's too expensive. That's too expensive. That's too expensive. And I believe them.
I actually believed what they were saying. And so I thought that the world was too expensive. I thought when you get money, if the hold on to it, the hold on to it really tight.
My brother, though, he didn't have that. He somehow convinced my parents to get like the new TV, the better computer, all this stuff.
I'm affording this, but because he was persistent. Somehow they found a way and that's how it works. That's how I now live my life.
find a way Whatever it is I find a way so really stepping to the energies of Finding a way you said yes to this program.
This is a commitment and Welcome guys welcome. I'm seeing some more people who are in here now great to have you guys here This is a commitment.
This is not some get rich quick thing. It's not some crypto scheme Once you get it you're rich. Now.
This is you have to put in the effort, you know, I my my career started in the startup world I've started over 10 companies.
I've sold a company. I used to speak at tech conferences I launched on my company is one of the largest at conferences in the world tech crunch 50 I which now is tech crunch disrupt which was in the Silicon Valley show on HBO If you guys have watched that hilarious show and 90%
95% of people fail in business, because most people have this awesome idea, and once they actually start going, they run out of steam, like, oh, I didn't realize it was going to be, I thought it was just like this easy thing, like I saw on the social network, I thought you just start it and all of sudden people show up.
But things take effort, know, if you're going build a house, you've got to build a solid foundation, you've got to build the walls, you've got to learn how to do it, the blueprint, everything.
It takes effort. It takes work. So who here is ready to put in the work, just drop something, yes, is in the chat.
If you are ready to do this, if you're truly ready, excited, awesome, Mary, yes, Sarah, James, let's go, Catherine, we've got two hell, yes, I'm so ready, yes, Ali, good to see you here.
So everyone who's here is Solhem. We all have a sole agreement before we even came to this earth to be.
in this program together for this. How cool is that? When you get groups of people like this together, there is a sole agreement and I just happen to go through it couple years prior to you guys and so now I get to share it with you and maybe in the future you'll be able to share it with other people, which how exciting is that?
So the program's set up in three parts, first part social media, second part's your offer, third part's automation. As I was thinking about the program today, because this is the foundation, this is it.
I'm building it with you guys. I've got the blueprint of it, but I want to see what questions you guys have, if there's any confusion with anything, you want more of all of that and I'll be adding more videos, more tutorials, more stuff to it.
So super cool, you guys going to be helping me with it. With congratulations, you got that foundation member discount, which is very cool, really, really awesome.
So as I was thinking about it, I was thinking, I think that I want us to start building very quickly.
So initiatives like maybe just focus on social media for the first month, and we will be focusing on social media the first month going viral.
We'll be doing a lot of coaching on going viral because it's super important, and I'm going give you guys some book recommendations for that as well.
But I want to just start building. So in the first week, in the first couple of weeks, we'll just begin.
So we'll start slow. know, little things here and there, but I want to start building immediately so that we can get into it.
Awesome. Our agreement, I did send out an agreement to everyone. That agreement says, basically, I have promised some stuff to you guys, and it's, know, my duty to deliver.
And for you guys, there is no guarantee of success. You know, there was one person who reached out to me and she was like,
We're an email exchange back and forth about potentially joining the program. And she was like, so when can you guarantee I'll make my first,000 month?
And I was like, I don't think that you're a fit for this program. Like it just that question alone was like, no, I'm not doing this.
It's not me doing it for you. I'm giving you the strategies. I'm giving you the blueprint, but it's up to you and putting the effort, putting in the work.
So I just want to make sure that is very understood that there's no agreements and like, you're going to make this, you're going to make that.
It all depends on the effort you put into it. What you create outside forces, you name it. But this blueprint does work.
If you put in the work, put in the effort. So if you haven't signed that yet, make sure you do sign that as well.
We got a telegram group, I love telegram. Telegram is a really, really awesome app, encrypted and. and which is great.
Not really super important for us, but nice that it's encrypted. And if you guys haven't joined that telegram group, definitely join that.
You can ask questions in there. You can post wins. you guys have, let's say a viral video, if you have your first client, you have your first 10k month, drop those wins big or small in the telegram so that we can if you have any feedback, feel free to DM me any of that feedback definitely here for it, especially as we're building this foundation.
Our first module module one unlocks on Monday and we'll also have a coaching call. So it's going to be like an actual coaching call on Monday.
On this call, we're going get into intros and get to know each other. So Monday is going to be coaching and we'll get right into viral coaching.
So, I've given everyone access to the Discover Your Soul's Purpose course, which I highly recommend doing. It's going to be very beneficial for especially this first month.
Just tools, tools, tricks, tips to uncover your purpose, to learn more about yourself, the more you learn about you, the more you can share you.
You also got access to the viral course, and that viral course, it was built around TikTok, but TikTok and Reels are exactly the same.
What goes viral on Instagram, because viral on TikTok, TikTok, Instagram, sometimes there is some discrepancy because the algorithm is the algorithm and it does what it wants, but it's for both.
It's for short form content. So that is going to be incredibly beneficial as well. That's a huge tool that you guys have.
So definitely go through that. The calls, all the calls have the same zoom, same zoom link, and they're all going to be at 4 p.m.
Pacific, which is 1 p.m. time. Awesome. Yeah, so if you guys don't know me, I'm Michael. I'm in Hawaii living in the island of Kauai right now.
My wife and I moved here in October. When we moved here, she was my fiance. Now she's my wife.
got married on 4-4. And she's absolutely remarkable, one of the most incredible beings I've ever met. She is wildly beautiful and also incredibly compassionate, just really like really good combo.
Definitely hit the jackpot there. So I'm here for you guys. I'm here to help you in any way that I can.
for your success. Awesome, Ali. Yeah, I met Ali when I was living in, she was my yoga teacher when I was living in Austin.
I jumped from Sedona to Austin to Oregon, now to Kauai, living in Greece for a little bit. All right, so here's what we're gonna do.
We are gonna go over a few things about ourselves. I wanna get to know you guys and so we can get to know each other.
I'll post this in the chat. So we will share your name, your location, what you do, or what you want to do, what stage you're at, meaning are you just starting out?
Do you have like absolutely nothing and you're just starting out? Do you have a little bit of something? Do you have a social media profile?
Do you not? What stage are you at? Why are you here? is your why? do you want to gather this?
What would be what is your reason for being here? What is your soul's calling? Your intention and your word.
So your intention is just an intention you want to bring and your word is your single word for this experience.
will unmute you guys if anyone wants to go first. Feel free to, feel free to go for it. You can unmute yourself or I will call on someone.
@16:40 - Stephanie Banner
We'll go first.
@16:43 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Awesome. Wayne and Stephanie Willis and congratulations you guys, need you to get married as well.
@16:49 - Stephanie Banner
Yes. In Hawaii. We got married in Hawaii last three weeks ago. Three weeks ago.
@16:55 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
July 19th. Yeah, July 19th.
@16:58 - Stephanie Banner
Congratulations. Thank you. you. October so we moved very quickly because we knew right away we knew on the first date we it was very cosmic energetic union and we had both done a lot of healing work before meeting each other so we basically not to skip around but our intention is to do like we want to do like a relationship coaching and helping people step into their highest timeline or their most authentic self so that they can find love or find love within themselves along that healing journey if that makes sense beautiful um so Wayne and Stephanie Willis and we live in southern California I'm a retired high school english teacher um do you want to say what you do?
uh I can't say everything that I do but I work for the work for the government um our time
I'm job former high school sports coach for over 20 years, so I have a lot of experience in the coaching world, but now we're trying to tap more into what we have done from our growing individually and what allowed us to manifest and bring each other in.
so we want to bring that to others to help them bring in their soul mates. Yeah. So what age we're at is we've gone viral a few times on TikTok.
Before I met him and started talking about soul mate relationships and relationships I talked a lot about healing. I talked a lot about like healing from a bad relationship and kind of like manifesting and like being delusional.
Dilulu is a solulu is like my favorite phrase ever because I just really think like you create your own reality.
So, I was doing that before and I didn't really have like anything that I wanted to. to do. I just was venting and kind of working through my own healing on TikTok.
But I read the artist's way last summer and that was like so amazing to like reflect on what you were saying Michael about just creation and like when we tap into that creation we're happy and we're fulfilled.
So I was doing that all summer last summer and so I think that's our intention is to you know help facilitate healing for people and help them to like tap into their purpose and what's you know what do they want to create in the world to be happy and vibe and high.
Do you have anything? No, along with you exactly what you're saying is just got to given the vibe and energy to individuals to have self-love first obviously and to learn how to throughout that so that they can find a way to develop a relationship that is best for them and ultimately find happiness right.
So that's key. That's it. Your word. think we answered all the questions.
@20:08 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Beautiful, beautiful. Thank you. We're in SoCal, you guys.
@20:13 - Stephanie Banner

@20:49 - Sarah Apke
free to unmute yourself. I feel like I should, because I'm an Oceanside. So on the north is San Diego, can get before you get to Orange County.
So. Hello fellow Southern Californians. I grew up in Orange County, so I'm very familiar with Saint Clementine. You guys can hear me all right, right?
@21:08 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Yep.
@21:09 - Sarah Apke
My name is Sarah Apke. Again, I'm in San Diego, North County San Diego, I'm a UX UI designer, front-end web developer for in the software industry.
In the stage I'm at, I haven't really done much with social media. Like way back when Instagram started, I was really big, know, like knowing how to hashtag and all that stuff, but just haven't really continued on with it at all and haven't done anything really on TikTok or anything like that other than watching videos.
And why I'm here, my, the business I worked for was a small business that was bought out by a corporate business, which was a really good move for the business, the small business I worked for, but I mainly learned that I really don't want to work in a corporate world.
I much rather like not impress the stakeholders, I'd rather do what's good for the users and some of the user experience designer.
that's kind of like why I'm here. like, I want to go towards what I actually want to do in my life and my sole purpose and finding out what that is and want to make the world a better place and instead of a user experience, what's the human experience and how do we design and like make things for the human experience.
I think that was it other than I think my word would be thrive. I feel like that's a word that I've kept coming up recently.
@22:43 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Beautiful, great word to arrive. It's such a like a just like a juicy word that's so enlightening and beautiful.
I was also when I was in a tech world, in the startup world, I also did UI UX design.
@23:00 - Sarah Apke
I'm not surprised since you're a very empathetic person. feel like that fits really well.
@23:05 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. That's interesting to correlate empathy with UI UX design, but it's so like how someone interacts with an interface is.
Yeah, there's something very compassionate about that.
@23:20 - Sarah Apke
But welcome, Sarah. Great to have you here. Thank you.
@23:25 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
All right, we'd like to go next.
@23:33 - Kathryn
I can go.
@23:35 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Go for it, Catherine.
@23:36 - Kathryn
Good to have you here. Thanks.
@23:38 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Can you hear me?
@23:39 - Kathryn
Yep. Yeah. Okay. I'm Catherine. I live right outside of Boulder, I absolutely love Colorado. It's my dream state. It's like my own personal paradise.
And I do pretty much all the mountain sports from skiing is probably my favorite. I am a nurse, I've worked in healthcare for over 30 years, and I work in a hospital currently, and I want to get out of there more than anything.
It's such a terrible environment. So I'm ready to use all of my expertise and knowledge from the last 30 years in a much more creative, inspiring way, and I have been having with this lead-up to today all these ideas that were just like slamming into my head, so I've been actually using my voice notes on my phone to record them.
I'm super at the beginning stage. I just recently set up a new TikTok account and new Instagram account, so super beginner.
I have been in the last year doing massive transformation. I like to refer to this as Katherine 2.0. because I have been in a huge downward spiral for years with lots of just challenging circumstances and I have been on this amazing journey in the last year and found Michael and found other people that have been super inspiring and I've been reading a ton of amazing books and things are just totally transforming and it's been awesome and I'm super excited to continue this new opening and journey so that's it I was thinking about that first couple who spoke it's like you're speaking to me because I'm single and I do want to find my soul love and I yeah I could use I could be like your test pilot or something okay my word is going to be expandy hmm beautiful
@26:00 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
I love it, Catherine. Love it. Yeah, but it's like when you say yes to something, your soul says, oh, all right, well, you're ready.
I'm going to open up and start to give you ideas. It reminds me of like ayahuasca, you know, anyone who's who's had an ayahuasca experience.
like the moment you say yes to doing like a deep psychedelic journey like that, it's already working on you.
And something like this program is like a deep psychedelic journey. going deeply within within our own soul. And to say yes to that is it's more than just a yes.
You know, it's a declaration to your soul that you're ready for growth and you're ready for change and you're ready.
So absolutely love that. that you started your new tech talking, Instagram and you're just you're good. It's a fun place to be that that new beginning.
Because it's like you can just reinvent yourself, can sit, you can say whatever you want, you can be whoever you want, you can try different versions of your
itself, you can just put it all out there. So, great to have you here, Catherine.
@27:04 - Kathryn
Thank you.
@27:08 - Alli Bee Yoga
I'll go.
@27:10 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Allie, go for it.
@27:11 - Alli Bee Yoga
Hi, good to see you again, Michael.
@27:14 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Great to see you, Allie.
@27:15 - Alli Bee Yoga
Congratulations. I'm so happy that you found your love.
@27:18 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Thank you.
@27:19 - Alli Bee Yoga
Yeah, so my name's Allie B. I'm in Austin, Texas still. I've been here for like 20 years. Minus, I lived two of those years in Costa Rica.
But what I do is I teach yoga. I also do assisted stretching. It's kind of like one-on-one work with a client.
I get great during the session. And then I also work for a resort in El Salvador called Ms. Dada as a retreat designer.
And what I really have been like dreaming of doing is creating a course on how to build a successful retreat.
Because I feel like I'm also repeating myself. a lot of these posts, so I want to be able to be like, look, I don't really have time to go over this, but you can buy this that I made, you know, for $5.99.
I just have no idea how to like create the video, put it on my website for people to buy.
kind of like stuck there. I don't know what software to use for videos and creating content. So I want to do like manifesting courses.
I want to do how to build your retreat courses. want to have all of these things. I just don't know how to implement.
So I have Instagram and I just started TikTok. I've noticed the TikTok algorithms, they like me talking and sharing messages, whereas Instagram likes like showy flashy videos and like some kind of like aha message.
But I'm still like, I don't have anything to offer. people to buy rather than my retreats that I lead at the resort I work for.
So I have that as an author, but I don't have courses yet, which I would love to have. And that's part of the reason why I'm here.
And my intention is to really help leaders become strong leaders. I've kind of been more called to doing that rather than just teaching yoga, because I feel like if I can help leaders, help more people that actually helps more people than what I would have in just my class.
So I'm trying to do this ripple effect of going bigger than what I actually thought. And so I guess my word is manifest.
Manifest the tribe, manifest the people, manifest the abundant, manifest the dream life. And I eventually want to buy a house.
I'm a single woman, 38, living in Austin, Texas, and I have to hustle. I don't really want to hustle.
want to be able to make money while I sleep and make more use of my time so that my energy can be focused properly because right now I have only limited amount of hours in the day.
And so, yeah, I to condense and expand at the same time.
@30:23 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Beautiful. Well, you are in the right place. Yeah, we'll be going through all of that in this step-by-step, creating it so you'll be able to have offers to sell and then you can create as many offers as you'd like.
It's really fun, the unlimited nature of it and you can create the course around retreat. You can create all different kinds of things with the automation.
@30:48 - Alli Bee Yoga
Yeah, you're really good at the funnel, the funnel technique too, which I'm really, when you created this course, I was like, I'm in, this is my missing link.
So, you are so healthy. with helping me with my website. I don't really want to learn from anybody else because I'm learning technology and you made it so user-friendly.
So I'm very excited.
@31:12 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Awesome. Yeah. Thank you. So when I was living in Austin, was living in downtown Austin. And every morning at like 6 a.m.
I'd walk to yoga, the Black Swan Yoga, where Ali was teaching. yeah, she's an awesome yoga teacher. So that's how we got to know each other.
And yeah, great to have you here and very, very excited for your journey, Ali.
@31:37 - Kimberly Trefz
I'll go next.
@31:39 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Awesome.
@31:40 - Kimberly Trefz
Hi, everyone. name's Kimberly. You can call me Kim. You can call me Kimmy. Any version works. I live in right outside of Philadelphia.
Well, 45 minutes outside of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. I've been here my entire life. I'm so not exciting, but I have to grant you
children now that live 15 minutes away from me. you could not rip me out of the area anymore. So I'm in love with that.
What do I do? So I've been an engineer since 1986, have a very successful career as a contractor to Merck.
They never hired me full time, but I've been there since 1990. And it's crazy, but in 2015, I started getting certified for meditation and Reiki and yoga.
now I'm a coach with a brand number of shards group. So I have all this knowledge. And I've been quote unquote, trying, I have been trying to start at a side hustle, right?
Because God only knows where it could go. It's been a decade. And Michael, I've known you for quite a while while you worked for Kenji.
And I was like, I've seen Michael not be viral, and then be viral. I'm like, okay, who else can I follow?
Because I'm really hoping what I want to get out of this is, you're not so far removed that you're not telling us airy-fairy ideas, like all these other people that have been out there for 15, 20 years.
I was like, oh, just do this, just do that. Dude, you did not do that in the beginning. So I'm really super excited that you might be 50% ahead of the but you're not 1,000% ahead of this, so I'm really loving that.
And my intention is to, I've coached people and it's really great. just haven't been able to get people that I don't know into my sphere, even though I do have a YouTube channel.
I have instead, but never posted. not have TikTok yet. I know that's coming. So I'm super at the beginning, but I'm not afraid to do videos.
I just need, you know, direction. And I think my word is, um, arrive, like I want to arrive at being.
And entrepreneur, even if I don't have one client yet, I at least have the whole path laid out, set out, I know it's step I have to take like, I want to arrive at the point where I can say, I'm an entrepreneur, so that's my word, arrive.
@34:17 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Beautiful, Kimberly, yeah, so great to have you here. And yeah, really awesome to meet you with Kenji and in that era, that was when I was like, drastically shifting in my life, I was living in LA my entire life, left LA and then went to Sedona just to start fresh, didn't know anyone.
And yeah, as I met Kenji, I completely changed my life. And yeah, as you were speaking, I just had this vision of like, sometimes we make things feel impossible of like starting a business or going viral or getting this big following and all that, but really like what I saw for you was
because you have knowledge, you have skill, you have stuff within, and that is valuable. So if you can share the value with the world, that's it.
And then if they want more value, they can enter your funnel, can enter that value ladder. it's like, yeah, going viral be awesome.
But you don't need to go viral to just bring people in. The social media platform is really cool how they work right now, like TikTok and reels.
It'll send your video to like at least 50 people. And is my video pausing for you guys?
@35:45 - Kimberly Trefz
is it good?
@35:46 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
It's a little bit fuzzy, but it comes to the policy. I'm just going to switch something real quick. So just give it like five seconds.
All right, and we're back. Let me know if you guys can hear me.
@36:21 - Kimberly Trefz
Yes.
@36:22 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Okay, Yeah. So when it comes to sharing the knowledge, it's like to not get discouraged about anything, it's not get discouraged about that post isn't going viral, that's good.
It's really about that consistency and consistently just like putting your messages out there and also recognizing within yourself that this is good information.
This is good and rewatching it. I will often, whenever I create any content, I will do many takes for, I'll share with kind of viral content.
but I watch my own stuff before I post it and I feel there's like a certain feeling of like, is this interesting or am I boring myself, you know?
so if I can share information that in some way delivers juicy information, it's going to be valuable and value is valuable.
So that is what translates into into money. So Kimberly, great to have you here. very excited for your journey and excited for you to start putting yourself out there.
I'm happy that yeah, really happy that you're open and ready. mean, we're all here, right? are all creators now.
So, excited for your journey.
@37:49 - Kimberly Trefz
Thank you.
@37:55 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
All right, Mr.
@37:57 - James Guiry
James. It's a little bit quiet.
@38:00 - Mary Grace
but it's a little it's little it doesn't sound like it's coming to your mic i hit the audio the little um and make sure that the correct mic is set how about skip that i'll fix this skip to someone else i don't fix it next person i'll go mary you go for it hi um my name is mary grace um i go by mary of a lot of people or people call me gracie so whichever i answer to anything i lived in a small town in east fantasy um i moved here i had got a cabin i moved here at the end of may and this was the 26th time i've moved since i graduated high school and hi baby my yorky's very upset that i'm not giving her attention um
I finally feel like I'm at a place where I can really focus on putting the time into what I want to do because it was just really hard for me to find a place that felt like home.
But I really want to move to a cooler climate and so I'm wanting to generate income that makes me feel like I can comfortably do that without being too worried about it being too expensive or increase in cost of living.
I just became a death doula and around here I'm going to volunteer my time to people and families because I just really feel drawn to get back in that way and around here the majority of people don't really have a lot of money for a doula on top of health care costs and everything like that and I just had some experiences with a lot of family members that showed me that doula.
way we like I already knew that the way we look at death wasn't right and but we're so unprepared for the physical part that happens that people are getting traumatized when they have to be there for a loved one or sometimes they can't be there for a loved one because of that and so I just want to help guide people in that respect but online I really want to help shift people's view of death and understand that it's not an ending and try to help them understand that people are still connected even when they go back to spirit so that's going to be the main thing that I focus on online.
Personally I also like to write I've been working on a couple of books when I couldn't find a place I wanted to settle down it was a great way to channel my energy and so I have a lot of things that are starting and going so my word for this one.
is going to be dedication, so that I really apply myself consistently to putting in just enough time that I see progress consistently every week.
I don't really have an account on Instagram, but I don't really have any followers on there. I just somehow vibed better with TikTok when I finally joined on there.
I have about 6,000 followers on there, which I think is kind of funny because I don't really have a theme to my account.
just kind of would post whatever the video that's gotten the most views. I tend to be around like 200 400 views, but I got one that it got 11,000 and it was me doing a review of a pair of shoes I bought from another creator on TikTok who was starting a small business.
I was like, people love shoes, apparently, or at least like maybe supporting other people, I was also really goofy in that one and was just like...
ACTION ITEM: Experiment with creating TikTok and Instagram content, without overthinking, to get a feel for what works. Join the telegram group to connect with and get feedback from other attendees during experimentation. - WATCH
Way more light hearted and whatever, but I guess I've answered all of my the question. So it's just really nice to be here with everybody.
@42:09 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Thank you. you, Mary. Yeah, really, really appreciate you. Dig your vibe. I think, yeah, you definitely have like a great when you start sharing on social media.
I think people are going to enjoy it, especially because you have like this death death to you as a death doula.
And I know Catherine is in the chat in true way death. Yeah, I chatted with Catherine as well in a discovery call and she's also interested in the death doula aspect and like sharing more about death.
Which I, yeah, absolutely love. And it's very interesting. I mean, that's like 99% of what I share about is what happens when you die based on a lot of data driven research from past life regression.
And people are interested. It's especially in the Western culture. It's something that we don't really talk about. We kind of sweep.
One of the rug, we just tuck people away into hospitals, it's, yeah, it's kind of sad. It's kind of sad because I think that we can do birth better and we can do death better.
Birth is like a business at this point, and there's so much that's pushed and so much like kind of weird stuff that goes on that's not necessary.
And then with death, it's very similar. It's like people are like strung along in a strange way and not just giving like a nice peaceful transition out.
So beautiful Mary and yeah, it just, it made me very excited about everyone's got all these different things that they want to share.
And the cool thing about the social media platforms is sharing storytelling, like it's huge. People love authenticity and especially when it's interesting, like if you can make it as interesting as possible, like if you just start like I'm a death doula, I've seen X amount of people die or something like that.
It's like, oh, I'm already intrigued. Now I'll be listening to what you I have to say, yeah, yeah, very awesome and I'm excited for to be here, Mary.
Cool. You guys hear me now?
@44:12 - James Guiry
Yeah. All right. Cool. Sounds good. have the mic wrong. Good energy, everybody. love it. Wayne and Stephanie, I love your energy.
I could tell. love it. just got out. want to hug my wife when I get home. So, right. It makes me feel good.
So I love it. Cool. So, my name is James. James Gyrie in Vegas. So little Las Vegas here, been here about 18 years.
I am actually a past life hypnotherapist. I've been doing this for 30 years, professionally about 9 to 10 years, but I have my own practice, full-time practice.
I used to work at a bank for like 15 years, but now I moved into doing this full-time. It's been great.
I love it. I'm following my passion. I found you, Michael. Obviously you're talking about, you know, Newton's work and actually I'm one of the only one out of a hundred and for Newton's trained therapists.
So I'm in the Newton Institute. So really familiar with all of it. I just had a session, you know, an hour ago.
So I love all this work stage wise for me. So like, you know, I have the business is good.
Now I put the 10,000 hours in, you know, I feel like I've gotten that together. As far as a social media, I'm pretty weak on it, honestly.
You know, it was even a film major, you know, I know film, I know what edit, knew all that stuff, photographer, but getting my voice out to the world was really, it's still, I'm working on it.
Like, I believe I've gotten past that, but like kind of like, kind of getting your truth out there, like speaking to the world and kind of telling them what you're doing.
That's been my hang up and like, I'm just getting over it. That's why when I saw your course, I'm like, man, I'm doing this.
Like Michael can do it. I can do it, right? can learn from you, right? Because I love that and I love how like your message is you're not really like spending a total lot of like time and like you know you're not spending hours on or days on editing you're getting it up there you're posting you're getting it out there I love that and you're authentic about it which is cool right it's like sometimes like the analysis of paralysis right it has to be better.
I sent the other day like spent three hours trying to set up a video I'm like darn it I'm not doing this but then you just film yourself and get it over so that's kind of where I'm at you know I built since I talked to you last in the email you mentioned like kind of start something right I was like you know what I'm gonna so I started a community in school which is so I started a spiritual hypnosis academy and I have like the top Newton like the directors are in there and we're kind of like now building this kind of free community for like budding hypnotherapists or past life regressionists or experts and like learning from each other so I'm kind of did that based on your recommendation putting together a course like all this knowledge I have
just getting it out there right just getting into something I like what you mentioned about on your video before is like low ticket offer you know start working on some low ticket offers you don't have to be the the high ticket $10,000 course thing right just get something out there regardless of whatever it is that's where I'm at and I don't really know if I want to I would love to go viral but I was reading about like just want to get my thousands fans if I get that thousand people that like me that's it right I mean if I get the thousand people build that community over time I'm good and if it grows great right I think that you can support yourself with kind of that amount of people intention for me would be like really just leaning into my fear you know like I think that's important as you know as a therapist you know I'm really coaching people to lean into their own fears right like I always say like you know fear is you're what you're supposed to be as in on the other side of fear right I love the movie dude right you know like you know fear is a mind killer right that's
I've got that little death that obliterates. So you kind of lean into that and face your fear. So that's my intention is to get through that, to learn what you're doing and to be, like to really be a sponge at this.
know, just to really just like, you know, just kind of go into it. I don't know anything. Like, I don't know anything.
I'm just going to learn it and be a sponge. And I would say like my word, I like, you know, ikigai, that's my, been, I've learned about ikigai is, I don't know if some of you guys probably know what it is, but Japanese word for a reason for being, right?
So it's like, what are you good at? You know, what do you like to do? What does the world need?
And, you know, what can you get paid for? You know, instead of like, for me, instead of like looking at the money and like what I'm good at is like, you know, like what does the world need?
You know, what does it need? You know, like, what am I good at? You know, and then I can get, I can learn to get, know, or what do I like to do?
And I can learn to get good at it and I'll make some money out of it. So I guess it would be following my ikigai.
That's my word, that's my word of the day, right? Pee-wee's Playhouse, you know. I don't know if you guys are I'm old enough from our pewees, but anyways, so there you go cool Enough they get all out.
right cool.
@49:08 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
right. Yeah, definitely okay. That's great. Yeah It's that so cool. started that community with some other regressionists. So it's awesome I mean obviously past life regression is like my passion in life and I love that you recognize that I I don't spend a lot of time on production I And it's kind of like Kimberly was talking about seeing me like not really getting it and then and then doing it so like having it feel accessible and Just hearing you speak like I have no doubt that you're gonna be wildly successful Just once you get a couple of those codes and they lock in then it's it's it's done and I know that there is plenty of Business opportunities automated business opportunities be memberships.
There could be one on this so much stuff for you, James. Very, very excited for you. And yeah, one of the books that I'm going to be recommending in week one that everyone check out is a book called Story Worthy.
Story Worthy. I'll write it in a chat here. Highly recommend that, because what I think is going to be most beneficial for you, James, and for everyone else here as well, is the art of storytelling.
And Story Worthy is a book that was written by one of the top storytellers on the planet. They actually have storytelling competitions.
And they're all over the world where multiple people go up and tell stories. There's judges who judge like who is the best storyteller.
And this guy's won like multiple grand slam champion storytelling. I think. the most in the world. So he essentially gives away what he does and why his stories are so much more engaging than other people's stories.
And there's a lot of kind of aha moments in that book. 39% of them is not right now. Nice.
Yeah, you can get the book. There's also the the audible. Some people like to do the audible while they're reading it and they retain more information.
But I'll be sharing some notes that I have taken from that book as well. It's definitely helped me go viral.
Definitely helped me go viral is just certain things that I now understand. Even like having conversations with friends or talking in groups or whatever might be there's when you learn the art of storytelling, it's like the oldest kind of human gathering the oldest human communication, which is like gathering around a fire and telling stories.
That's like the earliest form of entertainment. So we have it built into our brains to like love entertainment to love to be.
He told stories of kids sitting around, to some older person tell a story. So yeah, that is super powerful.
And yeah, great to have you here, James. All right, is that?
@52:23 - Rhiannon James
Awesome. I'm Rianna.
@52:26 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Rianna, great to have you here. Mike is a tiny bit quiet, but I can still hear you if you can turn it up.
@52:34 - Rhiannon James
might be beneficial. No, because it's just through the computer.
@52:37 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
don't have a mic. Can you hear me It's actually working much better now.
@52:40 - Rhiannon James
Yeah, I think it just had to have you talk a little bit. Yeah, I've got the fire on. It's winter here.
I'm in New Zealand. So it's actually Friday. It's I live in the future. So yeah, I am an artist.
I work for myself. I've had my business as an illustrator for the last four years, before that I worked in marketing, so we did a lot of storytelling stuff.
But I guess I relate a lot actually to what you were saying, James, around the kind of showing up for myself, because the stage I met at the moment is I've tried lots of things, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, I write on Medium, and have had varying successes at different platforms, but nothing sticks.
And I think for me, it's around accountability and yeah, up for myself a lot. So I guess why I'm here is to be held accountable to show up regularly to build this structure or practice to turn up every week and report back.
I'll let you know how I'm doing and learn as much as I can. I, in my work for my illustration work, I do what's called live illustration where I go into workshops or corporate events and draw what they're saying or what they're talking about and it's great but I'm always drawing other people's words and other people's thoughts and I really want to be able to draw my own and my own insights and my own stories so that's a lot around my intention and why I'm here and I guess my word is seen.
I want to be seen but I also want others to feel like they're seen and help them through their own transformations or journeys through various things and I guess I'd like to do that with sharing my own art and my own stories.
So, yeah, it's a little bit about me.
@55:04 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Beautiful. And pronounce your name one more time. I just want to make sure I get it right.
@55:09 - Rhiannon James
Free and then. Free and then, yeah, like, you know.
@55:17 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Awesome. Awesome. great to have you here. Yeah, I love that we've got people who are at all the spectrum of just starting out to already had maybe like a little bit of success on certain platforms.
Beautiful. And it looks like Tracy had to go. Oh, no. Whoa. Wow. Well, sending Tracy so much love and blessings for that.
All right. So we'll hear from Tracy next week when. She comes back, but really hoping everything is good and just, yeah, saying so much love to her and her family for going through that time.
Definitely sounds like something that is difficult. Yeah. Who's next?
@56:18 - Annabelle Kronik
can go next. Hi, everyone. Hi, my name is Annabelle. Um, I actually took one of my courses a couple of years ago.
I think it was time is weird, but yeah, I think it was like three years ago. Was it three years ago?
Okay. So basically that course was the reason I started my spiritual business and everything that I got into. I initially was working in tech as a project manager, but I've always been more spiritual and interested in all of the other side of.
of things and so I got really into it with Michael's help and then started posting on TikTok and Instagram and ended up creating a course doing a couple rounds of that course which was really great.
The course was how to help people connect with their spirit guides so that's something that I help people do.
My goal is always to empower people to be able to do it on their own so that I can channel as well so that was great.
I did all the things, I did one-on-one coaching and found that tired me out pretty quickly. One-on-ones was it just took a lot more out of me and so I stopped doing that, registered my business in my state and then for whatever reason I kind of got in my own way and it started to feel like a demand.
I started to feel like... Like, I had to do the thing, I had to post, I had to do X, Y, Z.
And that really, I just couldn't, I kept trying to force myself and then I just couldn't. So I stopped everything, stopped creating content, stopped doing courses, stopped doing one on one, stopped.
All my links are, you know, dead. And then I started working in a seafood restaurant, went through all my savings, got into debt, started looking for a real job, unquote, like hundreds of applications out, got a job, now I'm back in tech.
I work for a startup. And it's been interesting to reenter this world, but also integrate my like spiritual side as well.
So it's intertwined and not separate. Whereas before it was quite literally like half my desk was my work. stuff.
My desk was like my tarot and my crystals and stuff like that. Now it's a lot more intertwined where I'll talk to my spare guides and work meetings and like listen to my on different like work things and yes so I'm here because it feels like I did exactly what I needed to do at the time and like went through some of the lowest points I've ever gone through with money and that kind of forced me into healing a lot of it, discovering like EFT and all those things.
So yeah I think I'm here to not start from scratch but to start from experience and to reenter that world with a different version of me.
So I'm definitely feeling nervous feeling a lot of me is feeling scared for different reasons but. I'm here and my word is power.
That's the word that came to me when you said that. So I think it fits. I don't know. I think I got all the questions.
Yes. yeah, excited to be here, excited to meet you all and support each other on this journey the next few months, written for everyone here.
So thanks, nice to meet you all.
@1:00:26 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Beautiful. Yeah, thank you, Annabel. Yeah, really awesome having you here. Cool to see your journey. Yeah, I remember back in the Soul Purpose Creator Academy, which was the one that was many years ago.
That was kind of like pandemic age. Yeah, it's just really cool to see your stuff on social media and just hear about the journey gone through.
I can totally relate with the one-on-one sessions. Some people thrive in that one-on-one environment. just like that's what they love.
yeah, I'm not one of those people that can just do like as my job because it's that you take on so much energy of other people.
And if that's not your personality to just like thrive in that, then it can be just a bit much.
And also it can relate with you when you were talking about like all of a sudden feeling like you're forced to do certain things and then not really wanting to do it because it's like it's almost like the night of my job vibe that feeling of like creating your own prison or jail like something where it's like, wait a minute, I now am forced to do these things that I've set for myself that I'm not sure I'm totally into.
So yeah, I can definitely relate with that. And that's had me also jump around to different things. And you describe like getting in your own way.
And it's like, yeah, your soul definitely put its foot down and was like, no, like this isn't it. And how how perfect that is, because sometimes, you know,
When we try things and they don't work or when we do things and it doesn't feel in alignment to tune into that and just shift a little bit is Exactly what we needed and we learned so much along the way Yeah, definitely see a lot there for you in terms of the automation set up so that the systems are there So it's much more useful.
There's something about having a proper energy exchange where it's like you can post on social media, but if If you're not getting a lot of energy coming back to you, it's not as easy But like let's say, you know, you're making 10k 20k a month Posting on social media all of a sudden actually it's kind of fun to post social media that energy feels quite good So it's energy exchanges are so important.
It can completely shift things sometimes when people are like, you know I don't I don't know if I want to do that I'm like well if someone paid you $10,000 right now, would you want to do it and they're like, yeah And it's like oh well, it's not they didn't want to the energy exchange didn't feel right
So yeah, really, really awesome. to have you here. Glad you said yes to this. This is definitely gonna be much, much more thorough and complete and, yeah, step-by-step in building all of the things than that last program a few years ago.
So really, really, really excited for you to be here.
@1:03:21 - Annabelle Kronik
excited to be here. I just have one little point. I'm, I would love to also with throughout this course, learn more about like that energy exchange.
I'm a human design, I'm a projector. So I very much feed off of like other people's energy. So creating content in a silo also feels sometimes difficult.
So I'm sure we'll get into it, but I would also love to learn about that as well.
@1:03:48 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Yeah, yeah, awesome. Yeah, and that's that to see like what a proper energy exchange is for you is gonna be trying a lot of things and feeling into what
what feels good for you. But there will be many, many opportunities to try many things along the journey. But for me, I just feel as though the automation, the funnel, all of that, setting all of that up in a really seamless way, it feels really nourishing.
And even connecting to one spirit guide, that's something that whenever I share about that, know people love it. So it's just something people love to learn more about.
And it's what's cool about what we're setting up is once it's set up, it's done. You've got an automated business.
You've got a full sales team, which is you, but it is all automated. so it's all working for you 24 to 7.
And so then if you ever want to share about spirit guides, you can then guide people into that funnel knowing that something's going to happen with that.
So that's a really beautiful energy exchange as well.
@1:05:02 - Lorraine
And I think, I think we've got Lorraine as, yes, I've got visibility issues, my name is Lorraine and I first know about Michael through changing also, so cool, I didn't know that's awesome.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you help, should check the stuff with stuff. Anyway, um, yeah, I'm living in, I'm from Washington DC originally, but I went to college down here in North Carolina, Chapel Hill, research triangle area, and more laid back lifestyle, at least it seemed that way.
So I stayed here and I feel like I've been on my sole purpose, my life's past half or since my late 30s when I had this spiritual thing and anyway, what I do.
um a certified Traeger practitioner um which is a type of body work which is one-on-one gentle rocking which I love which sort of feels like my calling and um I'm a heart math coach um do a variety of healing kind of injury healing junkie and I've taught some classes is interest to heart math and a little bit of Traeger movement stuff um I always feel good when I do it but I'm always nervous about it so anyway the thing and I'm also involved at the unity around here in prayer ministry and that's meaningful to me so for me it's like I've shared and I've fortunately had some other source of income where I could keep doing what I love.
But it's finally gotten when like, are you ever going to, you know, shine with this or whatever. So that's where I'm at.
I'm like, totally non-techy, wrong generation. don't know how to make videos. I'm not on TikTok. I do have an Instagram account, Facebook.
Um, let's see what's staying there. Yeah, so I'm here to, like, give it another shot. think my word is willing, first I totally intimidated them, willing to give this a go.
See if I really can't, I mean, there are times when I really, my soul was excited about signing up and now I'm kind of scared and can I do this and, but I'm willing to, to do my best.
@1:07:53 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Thank you.
@1:07:55 - Lorraine
Beautiful. Lorraine, great to have you.
@1:07:57 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
forgot one thing.
@1:07:57 - Lorraine
I forgot one thing. did create a deck of, physical cards called heart cards, which are kind of based on the heart math, meditations and principles, and sold those a lot around locally and here and there.
And so I didn't know if this would be a way with a physical product or different, some other way to, I would love to get an online something that generated income.
And I don't know how to share those more widely, that's it.
@1:08:25 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Thank you. Beautiful. Awesome, Lorraine. Yeah, really awesome having you here. Love the Kenji connection, Kenji is such a just joyful spirit.
I love Kenji. And yeah, it's so cool. You're perfect, perfect for this. You've got so many skills, so many things you've learned so much to share.
You also have a physical product, which yeah, you can 100% sell that physical product. You can talk about it on social media.
There's so many ways to do that. You know, as long as you don't mind packing up orders and bringing them to the post office.
you know, that's really the biggest hurdle when it comes to it and not even selling. think that could come quite easily.
I'm excited to help you with that and help kind of share with how you can do that. But yeah, you've got, you've got so much to share.
So I think, I think the world is just waiting to hear, you know, to hear from Everything in bright creators, it will be, you know, as like step by step as possible.
So hopefully everything makes sense to you. yeah, get as a non-techy person. I, yeah, I've done a lot. I've created a lot of tutorials and manuals for tech for people who aren't tech related at all when I was doing my work at Pepperdine University.
And so yeah, one of things I love in life, I think one of my my skills is distilling down complicated subjects.
It's easy to comprehend, um, you know, tidbits, so whether it's past life or graphic therapy, what happens when you die or technology, I just love to make things easy.
It's like, if I can understand, if I can, if I can grasp it, then there's no way that I can't speak it in a way that makes sense.
Kind of how I feel about it. See if, if it works for you and if not, you know, down to helping out till it does.
Yeah. Yeah, and your cards sound cool. Like those kind of things, especially right now, and like on TikTok, people love cards.
love things like that. And to speak about them in, in a vulnerable, know, like real kind of way. It's like people love the story, if you describe the story behind them, if you describe how, you know, just the vulnerable aspect of sharing about what you've created, what they do, that is viral content.
And then as long as you have a direct path on how people can then purchase them. Yeah, you've got it.
And in the beginning on TikTok, because I will be inviting you guys to hop on TikTok as well if you're not yet to experience, I absolutely love TikTok.
I love the energy of it. It's a little bit more Gen Z vibe, but not only just like the younger generation, but also with the older generations who embody that Gen Z, which is a little more open minded, a little more vulnerable, little more a little bit more celebratory of vulnerability and openness, spirituality, of depth.
And also I really enjoy the comments on TikTok, really more compassionate, in my opinion. So, I'll be guiding you guys there.
If you are just starting out and you don't have a thousand followers yet, you won't be able to have a link in your bio, but you can link to an Instagram.
So, you can just guide people to go to your Instagram to purchase things. So that's where you can set up initially until you get enough followers to put the link in the bio.
Awesome. So, yeah, we've got everyone here and we'll hear from Tracy next time. I'm a projector too, nice to check the messages here.
definition of genius is taking the complex and making it simple. that. Love that. Albert Einstein quote for the whole brand there.
That's a great animal. Love to TikTok too, so authentic and mostly positive. Yeah, fully agree. TikTok, you know, also like if you're not authentic, it'll call you out pretty quickly as well.
So, collective consciousness is a thing. I'll be talking a lot about the collective consciousness. what's gonna be guiding us to sharing ourselves and what we create, what works, so it doesn't, you can find out very quickly what's working.
Cool, so next steps, next steps. As I mentioned, new content's gonna be coming out each week on Monday. So, our calls will be on Monday at 4PM Pacific, 1PM Hawaii.
Our next, so the calls from now on are going to be coaching calls. may share a transmission in the beginning of something's coming through that I want
share with you guys. But most of that stuff is going to be in the course pre-record so you guys can listen to it.
But a lot of coaching in this I'll be doing a lot of viral coaching as well because I want you guys to really hone in on being viral and so what we'll do is the content that you create you can if you want I'll take just a few people each time you can share it with me I'll watch it live on the call and then I'll give you a lot of feedback on what's working what you can try more and some coaching around it that's what I've seen work really well for a lot of my clients have brought multiple clients from like stuck in that 400 view range to a million views just like little like to try this try this it's usually like a slow process and all of a sudden something works.
I'll also be giving you guys a lot of template different things to try, try this style, try that, try talking about this, try talking about that, try doing this, try just text, just so you can try a lot of things.
Like, I don't, I don't know it's gonna work. You know, I, no one ever really knows what's gonna work until you put it out there to see if works.
You know, I'm always creating content. This, this whole business thing is new branding for me. You know, I, I share about past lives and all of that.
And now I'm getting into sharing your soul, like creating this, being a soul entrepreneur and sharing your soul through business.
And it's not what my audience is used to. So even I'm going through that learning phase of like, how do I share about this in a way that's interesting and viral?
So I'm going through this process with you guys as well. So it's, it's a really fun process to go through.
And yeah, the calls will probably be around like an hour long to 90 minutes. So if, if that goes a bit over, you know, totally cool.
So just know that person, I think, the two hour calls are just too long. just feel like I'm a little man.
So I, my, like, my archetype is I really enjoy brevity, and I enjoy, like, packing a lot of information into a short amount of time, concise, so that you just get everything you need.
You'll notice if you check out the viral course, definitely check out the viral course, viral creator. I've got everything in there to go viral.
A lot of the videos are pretty short because here's the information. not gonna fluff it up with bunch of stuff.
I'm just gonna give it to you straight. So check that out. And from now until Monday, just have fun.
Start trying things, you know, just without much guidance, without much, like, here's what to do or Just start experimenting, you know, we're not getting deep into it until Monday.
So right now, just start putting yourself out there. Get a notepad or an online one or an app and start to write down ideas.
Start to write down possible things you could share. Start thinking about all the things that you are good at.
Start thinking about. Start your skills. Start thinking, I want you start thinking in terms of what is the most interesting thing I know.
What is the most wild experience that's happened to me? What is the craziest thing that's happened during one of my client sessions?
What is the most mind-blowing fact that I learned from? So those kind of that frequency is what's viral. It's a little bit different than normal.
You're not just sharing something. You're sharing the most fascinating. You're sharing the most interesting. You're sharing the most wild.
sharing the most impactful, things like that. Start thinking in terms of that you can even intro your videos with that.
Any 8-8 portal action items to take today? today is Lionsgate is 8-8. Appreciate that reminder, Annabelle. So this is incredibly potent time to manifest.
So I highly recommend doing some sort of manifestation ritual today. I love rituals, like whether it's a full moon, moon, it's just creating a declaration for your soul to bring whatever you desire in.
So what could be really good to do today is, and I'm going to end us with a meditation so we can even start to do it with that, is what do you want by the end of these three months?
Like, if you could have the optimal outcome, how much money would you like to be making, what material possessions would you like, what spiritual insights, feelings, what emotions would you like to feel, where would you like to be, really tuning in to manifesting the life that you want, and starting to think about all the things that you desire to create in this time.
Lately my practice has been reminding myself, reminding myself, so I by post it notes and I put it everywhere.
I'm always reminding myself all the things that I desire, all the things that I want, and it's super powerful because it's very, our minds as humans like to go to just like that, that baseline of just like, I'm present, I'm here.
And so if you have this great idea, it can easily just get forgotten because you're just your present and you're here.
So having those consistent reminders makes it part of your normal mental state. You can manifest it being easeful for you.
Another practice that I love doing is water taking water which is absolutely remarkable substance. Water can be programmed so really taking that water and just like holding it and setting really beautiful intentions and putting them into your water.
So perhaps doing that tonight, doing a little ceremony, getting those crystals out, having your favorite crystals, a piece of paper.
Two things that I love to do is water ritual where I'm just like infusing like all of the manifestation things that I want, my intentions, my desires, the words that I want to embody and just like imagine them going into the water and just like swirling through.
the water and then sipping that water and drinking those intentions to have them empty body. I believe that works on a spiritual level, a physical level, and also just kind of a mental level.
Like it's the placebo effect, which the placebo is manifestation. know, I have healed, I had a quick mini story.
I had a cyst that was on my arm, little bump that was just there for a while and wasn't going away, wasn't going away, I had one removed previously, think at the time, this is like many years ago, I think at the time I was eating subway sandwiches and like they put like weird stuff in that.
Pretty sure that was why I was getting sis. I read a book, the book said to do this inviting in crystalline energy within the top of your head, imagining it go down into the area that want healing and just seeing it heal, seeing it your mind's eye healing.
I sat down, did the meditation before bed, felt like this tingly sensation of energy and drain, felt it go to that area and just it dissolving.
And I went to bed, the next morning I woke up, and it was literally gone. It had dissolved. So the power of putting intentions into water, drinking it, the power of telling our mind that yes, we can do it.
Yes, we are capable of it. Yes, we can learn it. That's like the difference between doing and not doing it.
So we are remarkably powerful energetic beings really tuning into that. The second ritual that I love doing, which you can do tonight, is I love to write down everything that I desire on a piece of the paper, bringing it outside.
And it's the burning bowl ritual where you get like a little bowl, and you burn the piece of paper.
And as you burn it, you just imagine all of those intentions just becoming a part of you. So also very powerful, you're telling your soul that this is what I desire.
think all these things, but we actually like take steps, like physical steps of like I'm fusing them to this water, I'm writing a paper, I'm burning it, Izzy's grand gestures that our soul listens to and our soul then.
Okay, I think he's ready. All right, I think she's ready. A good book on the beliefs, the biology of belief, and you are the cool.
Awesome, awesome. We'll definitely check that out. And as I mentioned in one of the videos I posted in intro is you are a creator, like you guys are creators now.
So really getting just that mindset. If you're reading books, start to take notes on, oh, that was awesome. Like if it's awesome to you, if you're like, that was incredible.
That's so interesting. That is what's viral. So writing down all of those things and having just like a list of things you can share.
And what I do when I post on social media is I'll go through list of things, I'll go through comments.
And once I get that feeling of like, ooh, yeah, Yeah, that's I share that one. So I don't have my energy at the time, whatever it is.
The next time a different thing pops through and I feel that excitement. So I'm always sharing from a place of excitement.
Cool. Beautiful. All right. I would love to just end this on a little meditation, a guided meditation, just stepping us into this new timeline that we're in.
So just get comfy, get cozy where you're at. little shimmer. So just gently closing your eyes. And let's all take three deep breaths together.
So a nice deep breath in and release it. Another nice deep breath in and release it. And now take the deepest breath you've taken today.
keep bringing more and more and more and more in a little bit more. a little bit more, hold it for just a second and release it.
Beautiful. Now just tuning into the body. What sensations do you feel in the body? How does your skin feel?
Really relaxing, your face relaxing, your eyes, your cheeks, your mouth, your tongue, your lips, just relaxing into this present moment.
I'm feeling the warmth of your body. don't know how good it feels to breathe. There's something about each breath as it enters the lungs, that oxygen.
feels really good. It's subtle, but it's very nice. Tuning into that. Becoming present in this moment. And with this presence, in your mind's eye, seeing a path ahead of you, seeing this path it could be laid with golden bricks or maybe they're rainbow colored, there's something unique, maybe they're glowing, there's something unique about this path ahead of you.
And it goes for as far as you can see. And then you're not yet walking on the path, but as you look down at your feet, you can see your feet, you can see this path ahead of you, this mystical magical soul path that you're potentially gonna head down.
To head down this path is a choice. So this path is your soul's purpose, a high timeline of your soul's purpose,
your main timelines and you were here on this earth for a reason your soul chose this lifetime for a reason and that reason has led to this very moment right now and you've made so many choices that have led you to this moment and now you have a choice do you want to head down on this soul-purpose path where you're going to be learning you're going to be growing you'll be doing self-development work learning all about yourself growing as a human you'll be learning new skills you'll be learning new ways to make money you'll be learning new ways to create a more useful life that feels so much more aligned with your soul how does this feel just tune into your body maybe some emotions come in maybe some words come in
How does this path feel to you? And now, if you choose to, imagine yourself taking that first step in this new path, really consciously choosing, perhaps your your soul's already marching down that path, really consciously taking that first step, perhaps you're witnessing it, perhaps you're seeing it, feeling in your body, maybe it's something within your heart is unlocking and opening.
Perhaps it's just you telling yourself using words in your own mind, I am taking that first step, I am walking down this path for my soul's purpose.
Perhaps you feel yourself opening your arms up on this path, Yes, I am so excited for this new journey that I'm going to be on.
And now, as you're walking down this path, tuning in, feeling your heart opening in your own mind, creating some commitments, what do you commit to as you head down this path?
Perhaps you commit to just doing your best. Perhaps you commit to showing up. Perhaps you commit to these live coaching calls.
What does your soul desire to commit to? Perhaps you're committing to dedicating time. You are opening up a new leaf.
in your life, and it's not going to be the same as it was, so knowing that there may be things from your old path that may fade away, that may melt away.
Perhaps your commitment is to recognizing that and to allow those to melt away. I'm allowing the old, all the things that are no longer serving me, I'm allowing them to melt away.
Perhaps it's old habits of scrolling endlessly. Perhaps old habits of laziness or complacency. Consciously choosing to allow those old things to melt away.
Just even witness them melting off your body into the ground, turning into fertilizer for the ground, and as you're walking forward feeling away.
lighter and saying to yourself, I can do this. I have everything within me to do it and I can do this.
And so now as you're walking down this path, I want you to see some some vegetation and some trees, maybe some bushes, little flowers, a really beautiful path that you're on.
And as you're walking, I want you to find a tree. Find a really beautiful tree that catches your eye and walk up to the tree.
As you see it, perhaps manifesting a bench or manifesting some cushy grass, something that looks really cozy and comfortable.
And now manifesting some of the most beautiful flowers you've ever seen around you. Now this area here, this is where you can recharge on this path.
This is where you can always come to. you ever feel overwhelmed, you can come to this area. you ever feel like you can't do it, you can come to this area and reconnect with the truth of yes, you can do it.
You have everything within you to do it. So I'm the guide you just for 30 seconds to sit down in this area and just feel the contentness of being on the path.
You don't need to do anything. You don't need to be anything. Just simply being on this. Whether you're sitting on the grass or sitting on your bench, just being in this energy for 30 seconds, I'll give you some space right now, some silence to just be.
you And slowly just taking a nice deep breath in, breathing in this new energy. Recognizing that path that so it's right there, you're just off the path just a little bit in your recharging zone.
And knowing at any point you come back to this recharging zone. And the path is right there, just a couple feet away, you see it, it's glowing, And you know the path, you can step back on this path.
This path is energy. At any point, take another couple breaths. That's in to ground in this path to ground in this energy.
And now lastly, remembering what was your word? What was your word for this journey that you're on? Seeing that word feeling that word, the energy of that word.
And imagine almost placing it like a little name tag on you. Really allowing it to become a part of your heart, part of your mind, part of your gut instinct.
Allowing it to empower you. And when you're ready, just slowly opening your eyes, maybe taking another deep breath in, coming back to this present moment, looking around at where you're at.
Welcome back, everyone. You have your path. You have this weekend ahead of you. May this weekend be a remarkable weekend, one that's full of imagination tuning into the infinite possibilities of this life.
You are an infinite being. I like to say that I live in the realm of infinite possibilities. Anything is truly possible.
So before you get the guidance on Monday, just have fun. Experiment. try things. We'll talk about it on Monday.
You have two courses that you can do, the creator, the viral course, and the purpose course. And that's that.
So I'll see you guys on Monday, 4PM Pacific, the same zoom link, sending it all so much love. I appreciate you guys.
Here we are. Here we are in this journey. I can't wait to do what you guys. excited. have an incredible group.
The energy feels like a very similar energy with everyone. Like a really deep, nourishing, a lot of heart energy.
So really appreciating all of you guys and very excited for this journey. So yeah, you're welcome to hop off if you have any questions so you can stick around and I'll answer any questions you guys have.
But that's it. Very excited to see you guys and congratulations on starting my friends. You are bright creators here to shine those lights bright.
ACTION ITEM: Watch Story Worthy book video recommendations and take notes to learn storytelling techniques - WATCH
@1:37:12 - James Guiry
I'm not going to jump off right away like who does that, right?
@1:37:17 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
It's like, I got your time.
@1:37:19 - James Guiry
I just really quick question. So one, I just want to say thank you, like, thanks for putting the time in.
I love the meditation. don't often do it. I don't do myself enough. I do for other people. I'm like, Oh, man.
I love that kind of, you know, hero's journey, kind of like, you know, the path, the road less traveled kind of thing.
love that kind of get your safe place. So I needed to do that. And it was cool how I kind of went with it.
Question is on platforms, right? focusing on, is there a particular? So obviously the whole tech talk thing, right? you know, you realize it's going to go out of business.
Are they shutting down? I don't think that's going to happen. You know, it's like, what do you think on as far as tech talk?
You know, I mean, you're not out. Regulator you know you're not you're on the election, but what do you think about that?
@1:38:05 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Right tick tock's making a lot of money right now right a lot of money and money speaks So I don't think tick tock's gonna get shut down.
I would say that if anything it's going to Transfer to u.s. but everyone who's currently making money will continue making money.
That's just my that's just the gut instinct that I have At this point. Yeah, I don't see a good thing shut down and even if it does it's worth just hopping on even if it Even if does because I got you a good energy Follow a psychic who says it's not And last question I think is on you know for you like I guess what would you say like to focus?
@1:38:52 - James Guiry
I mean obviously I've got the notes down right kind of like you know I love what your message is is I think you talked about before is like finding your stories right like finding you know
of being able to tell a story. I think that was really the takeaway out of this is, yeah, you can do all the technical stuff.
But if you can tell a story and people can engage with that, you find one story that goes viral, then that could build a following.
So I think that's the case. And I was also looking at a couple of your videos. As I signed up, I was like, how can I prepare?
was saving the 10 videos that say someone's a smaller creator find one that's like, oh, that's viral. How do they go viral?
go with that. But as far as for you, what would you say focus on is what platform for, will you say TikTok, just kind of just get into that?
@1:39:45 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
What would you say?
@1:39:47 - James Guiry
Yeah, definitely get into TikTok.
@1:39:49 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
You have to get into TikTok. TikTok's going to love you. to ask you love you because it loves to hear about the nature of reality, past lives, all of that.
@1:39:58 - James Guiry
then go ahead and then one last thing. What if I don't have technically a course to sell, you know, I have that kind of like community I build, but would it be pushing that?
Because I was reading about like communities, right? So like the goal is like build the community free, get people in, build up that group, and then you drip to the the like here, right?
Like you drip to the 12 people, they're like, hey, willing to invest. So you get the build community, just get your following, and then you drip to the people that want to be your fans.
Is that kind of what your thoughts are?
@1:40:30 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Yeah, that's definitely, that's one of the routes, and it's a great route. Awesome. sign up for school. It's been, I'll probably record some school videos as well.
But yeah, I mean, definitely do that. I love that you've already created that, and you can guide people to that free community.
If you don't have an offer yet, you can guide people there. If TikTok goes away, then you've collected all the people from TikTok.
You start to collect your own community in case you get shadow band or whatever it might be. Thank you.
But yeah, as as for you can also drip people into the one-on-one sessions you can start to collect email addresses.
You can you can send broadcasts out In this course, I'll definitely be sharing about how you can start to create things.
I think for you the membership is great Eventually creating a paid membership having it. I don't know if you do like meditations, but my past life regression library works really well for lot of people so Past life meditations.
@1:41:26 - James Guiry
I think are also super potent people definitely pay for that Yeah, so what about long-form content like YouTube? Are you doing would you like this is kind of like the viral short-form get people to a funnel versus the law?
I mean, guess they all work, but you know, would you say to start off with in the beginning like Can't do everything right?
@1:41:50 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
mean or maybe you can't yeah, I've found YouTube to be a little bit more difficult in terms of going viral So it's like I feel like there's more opportunities on
talk or Instagram.
@1:42:01 - James Guiry
I've just seen a lot more people have more success on those.
@1:42:05 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
But I will be getting into YouTube during this three month period as like my own kind of extending myself outside of what I'm used to.
The small, the short form content works really well for me. So I, that's what I do. And I highly recommend it, but YouTube, it's very similar in that you can create long form content that works and it also guides people into that funnel YouTube is great because you also have links everywhere.
it's like, that is definitely ideal. If you can get big on YouTube, that's, that's very valuable.
@1:42:38 - James Guiry
And then with Instagram, are you using your, from my to red is that the algorithm is likes to use the phone as your, your media, like use the phone, edit within the phone and post on the phone versus using like my DSLR or mirrorless camera.
Like I did that before posted a video and like zero views on TikTok. I'm like, what's going on? here.
I put all this time and effort into it and I got zero. I'm like, is that kind of the algorithm there?
@1:43:07 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Yeah, I mean, the algorithm definitely looks at things like that. I mean, if you use the camera and then you upload the camera, the video to your phone and you upload that footage to the app and you post it from the app, I mean, it should work.
But there are a lot of things like scheduling on TikTok. If you use one of the apps to schedule it, it kind of like Blacklist it in a certain way, Instagram, you could use a scheduler and it loves it.
It loves the content. could repeat the content. TikTok, it doesn't really like repeating content too much.
@1:43:42 - James Guiry
But yeah, I mean, I would just use the internal editor because it's quick and easy, you know, like, Is that what you use?
Do you use the internal editor?
@1:43:51 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Are you doing that? I do because I really like the way that you can edit with it. It's just like super quick.
Like that might ensure I need to do it multiple times. and it's like, hey, what's going on? Okay, stop, delete.
Hey, what's going on with it? Okay, wait, I'll just keep doing it until I nail it and then I'll move on to the next, and move on to next, so I'm editing as I go.
@1:44:12 - James Guiry
Awesome, cool. Michael, hey, thanks for your time, my friend. I think I'm gonna be here on a music session.
I didn't know what our days were, so I might not be here on Monday, but going forward, I'll be there, but I'm gonna do my best to be here on Monday.
I have a session, gotta really book it. so cool, man.
@1:44:30 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Yeah, and definitely check the replays if you can't make it, because that'll be very valuable as well to watch.
@1:44:36 - James Guiry
Yeah, I wanna be live. mean, like the goal is to feed off the energy, you know, like watching the video, it's like, I'd rather be here, so all right, my friend, hey, listen, good luck, and have a good weekend, and I'm looking forward to, you know, spending the next three months with you, seeing your smiling, happy faces, so cool, man.
@1:44:51 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
Yeah, yeah, appreciate you. James, one thing for you is, is you have the, like you've got it. it. It's just about that quick getting people in right away of like, I have seen what happens when you die through my clients or I have witnessed the hook and just like you've got like you work with people past lives.
there are so many hooks you can do and position yourself as that person.
@1:45:19 - James Guiry
I have a you told me like the stories. I'm like, I've been actually writing like I have all these stories now.
You know, it's like, you know, like, hey, what if you're a lost soul and you died, right?
@1:45:28 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
you know, something like that, right? it's like, get the hook.
@1:45:30 - James Guiry
Great. Give me in there. So yeah, so I'll keep doing a research share and hopefully the goal is to like not only learn from you, right?
But we're kind of like, you know, you're learning too, right? This is kind of your launch. So it's like we're all learning.
So I appreciate it. And I'm looking forward to making this, making this happen.
@1:45:48 - Michael Armstrong ([email protected])
