262. Unlock Your True Power

Welcome to the Strategic Oracle, the transmission space where tiny meets

soul and wealth begins with the rhythm. Let's begin. When I talk about the

architect of power or the power architecture and I say that power is where

energy meets action. I continue the conversation by talking about energy in

alignment. That's the key. An action with precision or precise action. Those

are the important parts of that equation. When it's all energy and you don't

have any action, there's this buildup that happens and you get out of balance.

And when that occurs, you have a lot of unrealized potential. When the

opposite is true, you have all action without the energy. You can easily realize

that that's burnout. You become exhausted or you become stressed or both. When

they are the combination of that aligned energy with the precise action, that's

when you have that true definition of power. So let's get really specific. I'm

going to talk in generalities about what it looks like in your life and

business when your energy is out of alignment. And then when it's in alignment.

And then I'm going to do the same thing for actions for precision and not

precise. So when you think about it, let's actually start with the positive.

Let's start with when energy is in alignment. When about business, it's the

actions are certain. The energies, you know, coherent. Your authors feel

obvious. They're easy to articulate. You're not over explaining them. Decisions

land quickly. They're not in the comparative. They're just in the truth for you.

Your calendar reflects your priorities. They're not based on somebody else's

urgency. Your clients self-select, they don't need to be convinced. Your

leads are coming in. Visibility feels expansive. It doesn't feel like you're

either performative or exposed in some ways. And your revenue grows not from

that hustling or over effort. It's through refinement and deepening. Now in

your life, your body feels calm. Even when the stakes are high, rest is

restorative. You can sit in silence without feeling restless. Conversations are

clean. They're clear. They flow. You trust your timing. You're not trying to

force outcomes. And joy happens. Right? It's in the ordinary moments. You just

have that beautiful, just joyous time. You're quick to laugh. You feel that the

daily moments, just because don't have to be forced, right? Like, you know,

how sometimes people are forcing joy, like they're going to set up a big fat

dinner or have a family reunion or do a big gathering of friends. And then

there's the expectations that come with that. And then you get set up. And a

lot of times you're disappointed. It's because you're not allowing joy to

just be because joy can be in the daily. What about when you're out of alignment?

Right? You've got those energy leaks, your actions are compensating. When

you're in business, we all know what this looks like. Right? So you keep tweaking

offers. Even if they work, you're over preparing, you're over delivering, you're

over explaining, you're proving yourself just to feel safe. You're chasing

clarity, right? Like, oh, if I just, I mean, this is probably happening to a lot

of people with AI, right? Like, oh, if I just ask three more questions, well,

we know that there's a lot of diminishing returns, you're actually going to get

further away. But that dopamine hit feels really good. But you're not getting

clarity. You're probably just getting further away. Your marketing feels either

draining or it feels too loud. It just feels discordant in some way. It's a

like a coffeany instead of a symphony. You're saying yes to things. Growth is way

too effort filled. And there's a lack of satisfaction. There's no fulfillment. It

just feels empty. You're just hollowing yourself out. In life, it can feel the

same, right? You're staying busy, but you're not actually feeling great about it.

Anytime you're resting, you feel guilty, you replay conversations in your head

long after they're over, you're second-guessing, your responses. You want to go

kind of play clean up when you don't have to. You're ignoring subtle signals.

You're not listening to intuition. You can't hear the whispers. And you feel

completely disconnected to answer the question to what makes me happy. You're

kind of stumped. I call it being one note. You've gotten yourself into a rut.

That's what usually happens with me when I'm really out of alignment in my life.

And so there is that's like that lack of joy. But what about actions, right? So we just

went through energy. So we went through energy when it's in alignment and we went

through energy when it's out of alignment. We looked through the lens of your

business. We looked through your lens of your life. Came up with really specific

examples. You guys know that this is not my superpower. I am usually up in the

high-level strategy overlooking things at 30,000 feet. But because this is so

critical, I wanted to get down and dirty with you guys like just totally doing that.

So let's look at actions now. We're going to look at actions in the same way.

Super precise in your business, then in your life, and then what

imprecise looks like. And so when you're precise in your actions, your energy is

directed and the results are exponential. So in business, you know like you take that one move

and then it feels like you can feel the really good ramifications, right? No ramifications

usually has a negative connotation. No, but it's not. There's that ripple effect of it.

And then when you're in that beautiful alignment of your energy, your signal is clear.

And so you are acting. Your actions are following the clarity of your energy.

Not your anxiety or the water could have showed us. Your strategy is simple

and straightforward. You stop proving and you really position yourself. This is when you have

that command and authority. And this is what I talk about having that core inner strength

and you just pivot because you're just turning. You're not taking big leaps and side steps

and front steps and back steps. And you're building structures that support your ease.

You know, we always talk about sustainability and scalability, but let's talk about ease.

So then you can really slip into that and free yourself up. This is what happens when your

actions are precise. In your life, you're choosing fewer commitments, but you feel like they're

yummy. You're really, really excited about them. Your edges feel natural. You're not

dissembling. You are being radically honest and no is a complete sentence. You know when to move

and when to wait. You're acting from discernment, not obligation. And your presence

carries weight. You don't have to force things. You're not forcing the conversation.

You're not forcing the calendar. You're not forcing the connection. You are in that

preciseness of it. Now notice I keep going back to energetic alignment because that has to happen

before your actions become precise. That's why we talked about energy first. Because if your

energy is in alignment, you can have that ability to stand in that authority with that discernment.

Being able to say no without having to over explain and really be in just your own energy

and prioritizing things that work for you. Now what happens when action is

imprecise. This affects energy. Your energy is scattered and it goes sideways. I joke sometimes

about like you know you slide into Fridays and it's like a puppy walking like into a kitchen

and starts to run because it's so excited but it just wax the floor and it goes sliding across

the floor. That's just have that image when the actions are imprecise. You know it's clean up on

aisle seven right. So in business you're confusing motion or effort and tasks with actual momentum.

You're on a hamster wheel. You're launching or promoting before you've gotten the clarity for it

or you've waited too long and now you're rushing to catch up. You're reacting to trends instead

of setting your own direction. You're solving problems that aren't yours to fix. You're actually

looking for them because it's easier to solve someone else's problem than your own. You're building

systems that don't match how you actually work. I mean honestly with the advent of AI you know

there's all these AI bots and all these AI assistants and what have you and you know I just looked

at one that it looks really good but what I was hoping for because I was looking for a client.

I was hoping for it wasn't it's a suite of AI bots it's not just one and I'm like I can't make

this recommendation because this person is in imprecision right now and would probably look at

the SEO assistant versus the executive assistant when in fact the executive assistant is what's

needed. So that's what I mean about building systems that you know what sure it's great to have

a SEO but if you're not ready for it it doesn't make any sense so it's not aligned with what you

actually need and how you're actually working right now. You know it's much better to say let me

check my calendar let me ponder this let me thinking about it or know as a complete sentence no

you're pushing through fatigue instead of listening to it your body's giving you signals that

you're just not hearing you're making decisions to relieve pressure but they don't actually create

progress. A lot of times it will happen I just did this in rich and powerful leaders program a few

days ago where we were looking at decisions and we were giving them layers or levels right and a

lot of times we're spending an incredible amount of energy and focus on things that don't

matter and oh by the way that's all of social media why because it disappears in a day if it

lives for a week it's a miracle right so why are we spending three hours making decision about that

three minutes and next versus strategy where we really should be or even bigger than that setting

vision we should be spending days on that days full fat huge days and yet we're doing your

inverse a lot of times I guess I had something to say about that okay you repeat patterns that you

thought you're outgrown and you feel drained whether your day was productive or not so these are

all the general ways again I went through the energy out of alignment in alignment actually I

went through the energy in alignment then out of alignment I went through the actions precision

without an imprecise and so I want to go dive into the signatures just to give you even more

practical specifics on this because we know that these excuse me signatures are based on your

energy they're based on how you enter the world they're based on how you react to things so

if you haven't taken the quiz go ahead to your signature map calm answer the 12 questions if you

have welcome welcome back again the wise strategist here's two words that I want you to be thinking

about when you're thinking about alignment and precision your alignment comes from truth and your

precision comes from choice so if you want to do it a mantra or a affirmation that's really good

if you want to do a mantra the mantra is truth choice the affirmation is alignment comes from truth

precision comes from choice so you can say I'm precise through my choices and I take action from

truth however you want to say that so the name of the game for you is about constraint sometimes you

feel stalled it's not strategy and what you'll do is you'll reorganize your strategy it's not that

it's honestly just something you've been avoiding so let's just tackle it there's one thing you

want to choose to finalize and then you want to slow the intake to sharpen the output you typically

will intake a ton of things and adjust like that decision that I just talked about you don't have

to intake a ton of things when you're doing something that honestly doesn't matter so let's not

put too much impetus on things because some things are just not that important let's just let

those go okay into the visionary your alignment comes from containment and your precision comes from

focus so just like the wise strategist containment focus those are your two words so you want to park

the future sometimes you just want to give the future a timeout I'm not going to be so far in the

future I'm going to be right here where I am right now take one of those ideas that is imminent

like right now and you could put it into action that would be awesome for you and from a daily

perspective you could take a daily edge what do I mean by that I don't usually like the words

boundary so I like the word edge or parameter or definition better in this case it felt like edge

just like put an edge on it just say no without explaining without anything no is a complete sentence

okay collaborative explore your alignment comes from importance and your precision comes from

structure so you want to go ahead and every once in a while honestly putting your calendar I don't

know if it's quarterly or monthly it depends on how connected you are to the outer world you want to

audit those networking arenas your circles your groups your teams just take an audit looking for where

your energy is being drained then you want to define your role before you step into that circle again

because how you contribute is really really important and being defined on that is the key

and then you want to anchor your collaboration in one clear outcome

people add you're so good at doing this that people will add a million things onto you'll say okay

this is what our outcome is going to be we're going to define our strategy in the next two weeks

and we're going to get together three times and you're really clear on that and then they pile on

don't let that happen one you have that one agenda item okay volume warrior your alignment comes from

sovereignty and your precision comes from direction so you are very declarative but a lot of times

you will not then explain you're aligned with what you want to do and you'll okay now we're going

to all do it you don't explain enough for other people to know what the alignment is so even

what sounds like it's more it's not it's that direction and then you want to cut out any unnecessary

effort what happens a lot to you is it's just easier for me to do it I can't rely on support

that is untrue that is a pattern that you're reinforcing that's not true take the time if you take

the time to explain I know it's frustrating is heck for you and you're really impatient about it

but guess what you can explain once and then overlook it once you know oversee it once and then

not do it again you'll actually save time and this is a stretch for you but you know what you can

use it as a goal and strive to it and then celebrate a win once you do it decide from your body not

the clock I know that's a huge ask but it would be really good if you did that now creative superstar

your alignment comes from permission and your precision comes from completion

so you want to create without an audience now I know that that sounds weird because sometimes

you'll create and then you don't think about doing the offer but sometimes and actually now with

the energies where we are now you're actually creating with performance in mind or with audience

in mind that's not really what you want to do you forgotten how to create something just for the

art of creation another thing you could do is finish one small thing just finish it boom

boom and it's away and off and just out of your site and then I love this piece of advice you

schedule white space like a meeting you do need downtime but you feel guilty don't you need it

you need it like oxygen give yourself permission and from a completion perspective put it on the

calendar and just literally take that time now loving alchemist your alignment comes from self

honoring and your precision comes from parameters ask what do I need before I step into a container

with somebody now this is life for a business because your power comes back and is energized when

you're taking care of it and you I love this you say one clean no just literally on a weekly

basis say one clean no no is a complete sentence and then you definitely want to act from fullness

not from repairing or controlling so there's a little bit of a letting go piece here to me but there's

also a restorative space for you and so you want to be motivated by filling yourself

and when you do that then the ripple effect happens beautifully so here I here's the power

architecture guys I went through as practical as I possibly could be generally for the in and the

sometimes they were like a cascading piece series of advice pieces and other times they were

separate it was whatever you needed in the moment so power architecture you want to be in my world

if you want to be finding more things about your power this is central to my entire framework

now if you've been following me for a while and this would be circa 2020 to 2022 you know that

power is the key to everything I stepped away from explaining it I'm into a divisionary so I was

getting bored and then over the series of last summer I realized like oh that is the key to

everything I'm going to start talking about it again then I had to decide how I wanted to do it

what made sense for me and then what made sense for you and what made sense for the times

so that's what this is all about so the power architecture I'm coming from it in different stories

through different lenses from a strategic overview perspective from a very practical

framework from a structural perspective from an intuitive magical one whimsical fun one from a

very didactic one this is everything we're going to splash through power throughout this entire

year and so we are getting ready for the masses and we are getting ready for lots of momentum

so things are moving really quickly growth and expansion is right at the fore so we want to make

sure that we are standing in our power so that we don't burn out and we don't just have unrealized

potential because we don't really leave money on the table so that's what we're all about

that's what the strategic Oracle is focused on yes I'm doing obviously the astrology I'm not

going to let that go because talk about energetic alignment and precise action that's where it all

is too so as always thank you so much for listening and sharing with friends and until next time

happy soul tightings you've been listening to the strategic Oracle where success isn't scaled

from speed but from soul if this stirred something real follow it apply for activation enter the

vault or pause right here integration is leadership too because the truth is you were never meant to

chase the timing you were meant to become it
