Gita, say what's up to Fire Nation and share something that you believe about becoming successful that most people disagree with. That's one thing I think people disagree with, is that we are here to figure it out as humans, figure everything out from our brains, from our thinking, from our data, from our knowledge. And we are not just here only for that. So figuring out is what it's all about that we have to solve. Yes. And Fire Nation, one thing we'll be doing today is figuring it out as we talk about how to benefit from energetic leadership to make business prosper.

2:24Now, Gita, you believe that humans are demanding a new type of leadership. Tell us more. I don't think it's only me demanding it or seeing it. But if we look out the window and see what's happening in societies and in the world, we can see that our climate, our nature is suffering. So something is wrong there. We can also see that a lot of us are stressed and sick, are having troubles with their mental health or with well-being. And we're also seeing signs in the workplace where people are not satisfied, quiet quitting, silent quitting, or people are starting to start their own businesses like being entrepreneurs.

3:19So setting up new ways of life design and how they build their also business life. so there's lots of signs of something's happening like you could say a human disruption. Fire Nation, human disruption is happening all around us. That's why we're always looking to keep our finger on the pulse of what's happening, of bringing you individuals like Gita who are on the cutting edge, who see what's happening, who are making adjustments for what's happening And that brings me to a question, Gita, about curiosity. I want to talk about why curiosity can actually create foresightfulness and vision that we need to succeed in this world.

4:05If you're only looking down in your data or in your models or in your what to do or to do list or whatever, then you don't see out the window and what is actually taking place. and if you are an entrepreneur or you are in a leader in a corporate corporation or for a whole country you need to be able to look out the window and you need to have authentic curiosity and it's not just curiosity from your top mind but it's really from the bottom of your heart also And the reason why we need to have that ability and to train it is because the world is happening in a faster and faster speed. We will see changes.

4:54So if we are not curious, just like if you are having a computer game and you are playing a role and you want to change that and you want to be more sharp in that role, you need to be curious about what is it I need to train? What competencies do I need to have in order to perform in that role in the future? So that, you know, foresightfulness is really key. If not only if you are a leader, but we all lead us in our own life. And you could also say, looking into the future or from now on, we are all entrepreneurs. us. I love that phrase that we're all leaders in our own lives. And yes, we are all entrepreneurs.

5:39I mean, we are forging our own path. We're making things happen. I mean, this is entrepreneurs on fire for a reason, because we don't just want you to be entrepreneurs, Fire Nation. We want you to be entrepreneurs on fire. And sometimes that means change, Gita. So what do we need to change within ourselves to make the shift and stay ahead. We think we can figure it all out from our rational mind. We have been raised that way and our society has been built that way over many centuries. But now we have to add something that is new. Not new in the sense that it has never been there, but we have forgotten about it.

6:25And that is our ability to dive into our intuition and this potential that we have there. And so if we really want to make radical change, and we need to do that, we need to do something totally different from what we're doing right now to stay ahead. And that is both using all our rationality, rationality, you know, data models and our drive to do our fire to do that, but also having the fire from within in order to stay ahead. Gita, you're speaking our language when you say the fire from within, because that's what we're looking to stoke here within Entrepreneurs on Fire within these episodes is bringing people like yourself on that are just letting people know, like what is shifting in this world and how to shift with it, how to benefit from energetic leadership, how to prosper in business.

7:20These are the things that we're talking about and more, Fire Nation, when we get back from thanking our sponsors. If you're a marketer, then you know what it's like to feel like you're moving in a hundred different directions at any given time, like you're spread too thin.

I have a question for you, Fire Nation. Do you feel like your life is optimized or do you feel like you're leaving a lot on the table when it comes to health, wealth, and relationships? After interviewing over 4 ,500 successful entrepreneurs, I have found that every one of them have optimized their life to a high level. In over 12 years of running a multi seven figure a year business myself, while staying healthy and raising a wonderful family, I figured out how to optimize my life to an amazing level.

9:52It didn't happen automatically. There was a lot of struggles, but through mentorship from others and a lot of intentional work, I got there. And if you think you could use some personal guidance in optimizing your life, let me help. I've created a program called Optimize, where I will personally work with you one-on-one to get to know you, your life, your goals, and your dreams. Then over a three-month timeframe, we will create a fully optimized life that will set you up for a lifetime of optimized health, wealth, and relationships based off your goals and your dreams. An optimized life does not happen automatically.

10:26It only happens through intentional work and guidance from someone who has reached that level that you are striving for. My goal is to turn you into a fully optimized human based off of your life goals. If you want to learn more about this program, visit eofire.com slash optimize. We'll jump on a call. We'll discuss the specifics of the program. And if we both feel to fit, we'll talk about next steps. eofire.com slash optimize. Gita, we're back and I want to talk about energy consciousness. What can energy consciousness do to create both better intuition and wisdom within ourselves? First of all, I think we have to sort of not accept, but realize that everything is energy, like energy frequencies.

11:14So everything in our society, our body, our chair, you know, our cars, everything is actually energy. And in order to, so you have to sort of say yes to that condition that we are all nature. Then you realize if you are going ahead that way, that you also can work with your own energy. So we as individuals, we have our own energy field with our frequency. And we sometimes you know it because we can sense that, you know, walk into a room and it's not feeling very comfortable or, oh, these people are really nice to be with. So we have to train much more how this energy works for us and understand how we can tap into the energy.

12:14because if we are able to do that, we will also unleash our potential through our intuition. And by doing that, we will dig into our own wisdom. You know, why are we here? What is my purpose of being here on earth? Sometimes we can walk in life and we think, you know, I'm not really happy in what I'm doing. Maybe I'm doing something that is not either good for me, I get sick of it, or maybe I'm not just happy with doing it. So if we really dare to surrender to not trying to figure it out, but be still and listened within, then we can actually get hold of that treasure that lies within us. and we are eight billions on this earth and we have eight billions sort of soul paths to walk.

13:20So it's not a matter of trying to compete with anyone because we have our own way. Fire Nation, there is that treasure within and I really like how Geet is talking about this because if we can be calm, if we can pause, if we can reflect, if we can look within, have silence, have space, you can find that treasure within. You can start doing things around that because energy consciousness. I mean, what are we in this world? We are energy. That's what we are. We project it. We are it. That is our every day. And one thing that entrepreneurs do find difficult, Gita, is staying relevant in this world.

14:01I mean, as time goes on, things change, adjust, pivot, you know, cycles come, cycles go. How must businesses transform to stay relevant and resilient in the future? Well, the funny thing is that, you know, when we, as humans, we change, we are also, we are also customers in other businesses, you know, and we are also maybe employees in other corporations or businesses. So when people change, we also need to change the way we lead or develop our businesses. So a business, whether it's a one-man show or it's, you know, 10 or 100 or whatever, we have to look at how is it our business model must adjust, how is it our customer journey should shift, how is it our processes should be, are the touch points that we are using, you know, what drives loyalty in these different touch points, what should change there, the value proposition, how is that going to change?

15:11Are we going to use KPIs in the same way as we've done before? So the whole way of looking at how we drive and lead a business will also need to change. not just because humans are doing it you know demanding it you could say but also because we need to find a new way of building a sustainable future and we have come a long way but now we have to do something totally different and that is really going to be fun because we're going to build a new world that is much more joyful and hopefully also much more looking after nature so we can be here for a much longer period. Gita, I'm really resonating with what you're saying.

16:07I truly believe these words and Fire Nation, I hope you are as well, because this is the type of outlook that is so nice to have for the future because there is so much possible. There's so much goodness that can come. And a lot of people are getting overwhelmed now, Gita, because there's data, there's AI, there's intuition. And the reality is some people just shy away from all of these things because they don't really know where to start. You believe that we can improve our decisions with these things, with data, with AI, with intuition. Tell us more. If it hadn't been for technology and a Zoom meeting that we are recording this on, we couldn't have talked to each other sitting in different countries.

16:54So technology is really helping us a long way and we get connected and we can even get energetic connection even if we are far away from each other because we are still sort of connected in a bigger sense. but if we only look at data and if we only go out the AI or technological way we will still not have been able to use our full potential and our full potential comes when we access the gift that we are really here for what is it our true calling is. And we can do that by being much more conscious about what it is we're here for, like yourself have, as far as I've understood, experienced that.

17:58So you are really, you know, what I call walking on two feet because you are using both your very rational and lots of drive, but you're also using your intuition and you have followed what you wanted to do. And as far as I understood, I'm happy doing that. So a very good role model for it. And if we only look at data and all the data that AI now can produce and not have sort of the other leg or use the clutch, if we only use the speeder, then we will not succeed. And we will not succeed in also the technological, you know, next 10 years we will have AI being what we call true AI. So if we are not sort of gaining back our own power as humans, then we might not be able to control what AI is actually able to do.

19:08So the better we are as humans, the better AI and technological gadgets and whatever we develop will become. Gita, let's take a step back because we've talked about a lot today. I mean, we've talked about energy, consciousness. We talked about a new type of leadership, curiosity, vision, intuition, so many great things, you know, all around how to benefit from energetic leadership to make business prosper. What is the one key takeaway that you really want to make sure our listeners get from our conversation today? It really is like I started out, that we cannot figure it out. We have to try and surrender to our energy and follow what our, both our rational mind but also our intuition but that in a combination and in order to do that the best thing and the recommendation is to be able to be still to have a break to take a pause and then listen within because we will get so much guidance guidance from from within so you can get lots of both energy, you know, to do it, but also a lot of inspiration that comes from a true place.

20:41So it's like really having an advisory board that is an add-on to what you might have in your sort of human life. so not try to figure it out but just be calm and listen within and also add all the knowledge that we have and all the data that we have but really be balanced in the way that you lead your life and lead your business but also by looking out the window and seeing what's ahead of you. Gita, if Fire Nation is listening right now and they are really resonating with the words that you're saying, how can they connect with you? How can they learn more? What is your call to action for our listeners today?

21:33My call to action is really to get hold of my book, which is called Energetic Leadership. It is an inspirational guide to how you lead yourself and your business into the new era and you can get hold of it at amazon.com or any other place where you buy books or the audiobook you can get at kobo.com and it is actually an quite an innovative audiobook because it is with my cloned voice so i have tried to be innovative in doing that one and then you can get hold of me on my website and my website is www.energeticleadership.eu.
