Cara Taylor Swift:Yeah, you too, and I have to say we didn't
Cara Taylor Swift:talk about it right before this, but you're our first guest we've
Cara Taylor Swift:had for season three so far. So we've had a very chill season.
Cara Taylor Swift:And so we're super excited to have a guest join us on the show
Cara Taylor Swift:again, not just Kim and I today.
Cara Taylor Swift:me feel extra special.
Cara Taylor Swift:So why don't you start before we jump into
Cara Taylor Swift:our big three and our topic for the day, tell us a little bit
Cara Taylor Swift:about your business story. Like how did you become an
Cara Taylor Swift:entrepreneur in the equine industry?
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:20 years industry experience, which makes
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:me feel about 300 years old, but I've been I've been around
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:horses for a really long time. And I had a little gap in full
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:time horsey work. And I worked for a corporate company in sales
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:back in 2015. I was working for them. And in 2017, I was feeling
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:really miserable. I had one child who I absolutely adored,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:and I hated being away with my job all the time. And I really
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:wanted to get back to doing something horsey and I just felt
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:a calling to help more people. I loved teaching one horse and one
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:rider at a time, but it had its limit. And I just wanted to do
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:more. And I wanted to work flexibly. And that's how I
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:accidentally started my business. And I really hope this
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:story inspires people because I was at my lowest point totally
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:and utterly miserable, couldn't see a way forward desperately
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:racking my brains for a business idea and of course, that's never
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:when you can come up with an idea when you want one. And I
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:remember sitting on a beach in Greece feeling totally
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:miserable. I hated the way life was going. Just the daughter I
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:adored, just was not spending enough time with her, wanted
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:this bigger impact and then it was a few months later I had
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:this idea to run a horse first aid course. And at this point,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:this was just a fun distraction. I create an event on my Facebook
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:page, which had about 50 followers, which was just a few,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:pretty much all my friends, nobody really thought for
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:business, it really wasn't a business, then I was just doing
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:a little bit of teaching, and I sold all the tickets. And I was
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:like, Oh, this is really fun. And I knew a lot about sales and
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:marketing from my corporate job. And I was like, Oh, this is
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:cool. I'm mixing all my skills, I'm adding in the science, and
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:I'm helping wholesalers and I can work flexibly, but it still
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:didn't feel like a business. And I gave up my job because I was
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:so miserable. And then my business took off. And I think
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:it being an accident, it not having to work straightaway,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:because it was just fun. And it was just addictive. And I just
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:ran course after course, then I developed other courses in a
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:conference. And here we are almost five years later, a real
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:happy accident. But it only happened because I took that
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:first bit of action. I had no website, no branding, quite
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:frankly, no clue. But I had a passion. I had a passion, and I
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:took action. And I really hope that story inspires others. If
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:you've got an idea that's in a notebook or in your head, what
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:could you do with it? Like, what's that first baby step of
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:action you could take, I really credit, tiny, but continual
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:steps with my business success. And I really hope that inspires
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:people to move off the sofa to do whatever it is they would
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:like to start moving forward.
Cara Taylor Swift:Well, I think sometimes that first step is the
Cara Taylor Swift:hardest part for a lot of people. And that's that kind of
Cara Taylor Swift:leads us into what we're going to talk about today is just that
Cara Taylor Swift:getting your mind in a place where you can be in a good place
Cara Taylor Swift:to move forward with a business idea, or even just a small
Cara Taylor Swift:little spark that could potentially be a business idea.
Cara Taylor Swift:And I love your story. And Kim and I in episode one, we talked
Cara Taylor Swift:all about how the accidental entrepreneur and where we
Cara Taylor Swift:started in our businesses. So I think that a lot of our
Cara Taylor Swift:listeners can relate to that. And the idea that is their idea,
Cara Taylor Swift:something that could grow into a business and getting themselves
Cara Taylor Swift:in a place that that mentally they're ready to take that next
Cara Taylor Swift:step. So that's where we're rolling with today is we're
Cara Taylor Swift:talking about mindset, I don't know about you Kim but it seems
Cara Taylor Swift:like when I look at what our listeners are enjoying the most
Cara Taylor Swift:from our podcast, and the shows that we put out, they love
Cara Taylor Swift:anything mindset related, our listeners are loving the idea
Cara Taylor Swift:that they can work on their mindset to help grow their
Cara Taylor Swift:business. So Kim, do you want to add anything? Before we jump
Cara Taylor Swift:into our big three
Kimberly Beer:I do, I just want to say our listeners are
Kimberly Beer:enlightened. And that's what I love about this, they really do
Kimberly Beer:understand that business, especially small business
Kimberly Beer:encompasses more than just the act of doing business. Its
Kimberly Beer:mission, its passion, it's so much mixed in to the experience.
Kimberly Beer:And just as you've talked about in your own story, and Cara and
Kimberly Beer:I share that similar story, there is a lot more under the
Kimberly Beer:surface of running a business than what appears to be that
Kimberly Beer:way, when you first cook up that idea and mindset to me, is at
Kimberly Beer:the heartbeat of that. So yeah, and so we have a big three for
Kimberly Beer:everyone today. Number one is mindset blocks do affect your
Kimberly Beer:competence as a business owner. So if you have a block, or if
Kimberly Beer:you are struggling with your mindset, a lot of times what
Kimberly Beer:walks right alongside that is struggling with your competence.
Kimberly Beer:And Nicola is going to help us understand the difference
Kimberly Beer:between a block and a barrier when it comes to our mindset. So
Kimberly Beer:that's our big three number two, and then she has a wonderful
Kimberly Beer:strategy that can help you get through these mindset blocks
Kimberly Beer:that you have. So that is her timeline therapy strategy, and
Kimberly Beer:I'm super pumped, and I know you're gonna want to hang around
Kimberly Beer:to hear her talk about that. So without further ado, I'm gonna
Kimberly Beer:let Cara ask a couple of questions, but we'd love to
Kimberly Beer:know, how do you feel about the mindset blocking your
Kimberly Beer:competence? How does that relate for you?
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Like that is so essential to
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:business, Kim, as you just said, and my goodness, I wish I'd
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:known that sooner. I knew some stuff about mindset from
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:coaching riders, but I, I really thought business was just the
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:busy work. And it was just all the strategy. And yes, of course
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:you need strategy. But if you don't believe the strategy is
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:going to work, if you don't really feel worthy of the
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:clients of people buying your product, whatever it is, you're
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:marketing your business, there is no magic strategy that's
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:going to overcome those beliefs and those blocks and it really
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:is the ultimate mix mindset and strategy together which really
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:makes all the difference. And confidence, Kim as you
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:mentioned, is something that a lot of people come to me saying
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:they just feel stuck you know, they've got the skills they have
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:skills and certificates hand over fist there's all these ways
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:they can help horses and often other animals as well, generally
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:dogs. And they just can't quite get out there. They, they don't
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:know how to tell people what they do they know that it was,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:you know, common sensical, it'd be really sensible to be working
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:with vets and other professionals to get referrals.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:And they are just really struggling to take that step.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:And quite often, it's confidence on some level confidence in
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:their ability that worry what other people will think that's
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:really, really blocking them. And it's something that I really
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:love helping people with.
Cara Taylor Swift:I think that that is huge. I do some
Cara Taylor Swift:mentoring with other photographers, for example, and
Cara Taylor Swift:a lot of them are great photographers. But the thing
Cara Taylor Swift:that's holding them back it feels like a lot of times is the
Cara Taylor Swift:confidence aspect. They don't know how to or feel comfortable
Cara Taylor Swift:charging people, having sales conversations in general. So
Cara Taylor Swift:that seems to be the biggest, like their work is they're,
Cara Taylor Swift:they're working on the business side of things, but there's this
Cara Taylor Swift:one little piece still, probably what we're moving into talking
Cara Taylor Swift:about blocks and barriers, this one little piece that's there
Cara Taylor Swift:that's making it really difficult for them to move to
Cara Taylor Swift:the next step of success in their business. So absolutely. I
Cara Taylor Swift:think that mindset and confidence is one of the biggest
Cara Taylor Swift:things that I see when I'm talking with entrepreneurs and
Cara Taylor Swift:they're struggling. They might come to me for another issue,
Cara Taylor Swift:and then what it boils down to is mindset and confidence.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Yeah, I see that all the time. People
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:often say to me, hh, how do I get clients? What should I say
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:on social media, and then it comes down to they feel really
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:awkward about money. They don't want to be portrayed as salesy.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:They're worried about sometimes the fear of it going wrong, but
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:quite often, oddly enough, it's the fear of it all going right,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:which puts people off. So yes, if we can just identify some of
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:these blocks, release some of these blocks, get in some new
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:programming, some mental programming and new belief
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:systems and then add in the strategy, well, then that's when
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:people are really flying. That's like the magic zone. And I just
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:love helping people to get to that place.
Cara Taylor Swift:Nicola, can you give us some examples of how
Cara Taylor Swift:you've seen in the work that you do mindset show up as a problem
Cara Taylor Swift:with folks that you're working with, or with other business
Cara Taylor Swift:owners or even in your own personal experience? Could you
Cara Taylor Swift:give us an example of what that looks like for someone?
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:I could give you a ton of examples Cara,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:I really could, I gotta give you two key ones. One is my biggest
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:block that I had, which we'll get to talk about blocks and
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:barriers, this was a huge barrier, was time. I believed
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:that I did not have time to create the business I wanted. I
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:didn't believe I had time to hit the income goals I wanted. And
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:then all I did was tell myself, I didn't have time, I was really
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:stressed. I was not actually getting much done. I was just
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:kind of like hyper, not hyper focus, just hyper. And I was
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:just stressing and wasn't really getting much done. But I just
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:kept telling myself, I just haven't have time, and I'd see
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:other people and I'd be like oh it's alright for them, they've
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:got more time. And I, you know, I've got two young children. And
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:that was a handy excuse as well and was just a self fulfilling
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:cycle because it just kept telling myself that I didn't
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:have time. And then what do you know, I would just go to decent
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:work phone or drink, somebody would knock on the door, I'd be
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:interrupted all the time, things would just come up, left, right
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:and center to just prove me right that I didn't have time.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:So that was a huge one that I had to dismantle and work
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:through. The other favorite I see all the time is around
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:money. Now we could talk money blocks all day. But how I see
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:money blocks showing up in people's businesses, and I bet
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:the listeners can relate to this, is what I call random
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:discounting. Now this is big with my practitioner clients.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:And I can imagine it also is quite big with photography as
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:well as other businesses. Somebody asks your price, let's
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:just say the price of your service is 50 pounds or $100.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:And you haven't said the price before you know it boom
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:outcomes. Oh, it's 40 Oh, it's $90. And you've just whacked a
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:bit off for no good reason at all. And when I talk about
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:random discounting, like a masterclass or if I'm presenting
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:at a confidence, I just always see these faces just go oh, yes,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:that's me. It's so so common. And yet actually, when we work
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:on why we feel like that about money, why we feel like that
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:about charging and are worse, it stops. And it's so powerful
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:because you don't get that in a supermarket. You don't get to
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:have at the gas station. They don't say oh, for you, we'll
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:just knock a little bit off the price is the price. So why
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:should it be any different when we are the business?
Kimberly Beer:Every small business owner wants to gain
Kimberly Beer:traction in their marketing. After three decades of working
Kimberly Beer:with small business owners just like you I have developed what I
Kimberly Beer:call my four by four marketing method. In just one-90 minute
Kimberly Beer:session, you'll discover the four major focus areas of a
Kimberly Beer:successful marketing plan and together we'll uncover where
Kimberly Beer:your business is getting stuck. You'll leave the session with an
Kimberly Beer:action plan of next steps that engage your revenue engine drop

Kimberly Beer:B-E-M-O-R-E business.com See you there.
Cara Taylor Swift:Well, not only are you crippling your
Cara Taylor Swift:business, but you're making your life harder, because I remember
Cara Taylor Swift:times when I was first starting, and I was dealing with
Cara Taylor Swift:confidence and pricing, and I do remember doing what you call
Cara Taylor Swift:that random discounting. And then I'm in this place where I
Cara Taylor Swift:have to remember oh, my God, what did I tell this person? And
Cara Taylor Swift:what did I tell this person? What was I going to do? You
Cara Taylor Swift:know, and you're making your job so much more difficult than it
Cara Taylor Swift:needs to be?
Kimberly Beer:I do too.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:You'll tie yourself in a knot massively
Cara Taylor Swift:Yes. And you set your prices for reason based
Cara Taylor Swift:on your cost of doing business, hopefully, and so there's a
Cara Taylor Swift:reason that your prices are like they are so you know, it's like
Cara Taylor Swift:that confidence around that is so key. So that's a great
Cara Taylor Swift:example. I love that.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:I mean, there's plenty of others. But
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:yeah, random discounting is a real one. I think another quite
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:common block I see is not believing that the clients are
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:there, like not believing that people have the money to spend
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:in your business, whatever your business is. And I just love to
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:send people particularly in the horsey world examples of where
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:people are spending money left, right and center in the horse
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:world. It's really important that we do believe that the
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:business is out there that the clients are out there and people
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:want our services.
Kimberly Beer:Yeah, one of the things that you and I talked
Kimberly Beer:about a lot in the prep for the show was identifying what is a
Kimberly Beer:block, so something that would be easier for you to move, and
Kimberly Beer:what is a barrier. So to me, barriers are things that are
Kimberly Beer:tied to a whole bunch of other things. So I imagine a barrier
Kimberly Beer:as this brick wall. And there's lots of little blocks of bricks
Kimberly Beer:that make up this giant wall that stopped us from something
Kimberly Beer:and then there are small blocks that we kind of tripped over in
Kimberly Beer:our business. So can you share with our listeners, your
Kimberly Beer:thoughts around that? And maybe how they can identify what is a
Kimberly Beer:block and what is a barrier?
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Sure Kim, of course I can, now to
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:answer that question fully, what I just love to do is very, very
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:briefly, very simply explain how our mind works. So if you think
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:of your mind, you've got two parts, you've got the conscious
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:part where we are aware of what we're thinking, that's the part
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:that goes, oh, goodness, we must post that letter or goodness, I
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:mustn't be late to the podcast interview. Anything we need to
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:be really aware of that subconscious mind, because
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:that's the bit that we're most aware of, we think that that's
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:where it all happens. But actually, there's a whole nother
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:part to your subconscious, your unconscious mind, which is where
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:your emotions, memories, beliefs, everything really is
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:stored and your subconscious is responsible for up to 97% of
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:your actions. So it's pretty powerful stuff. And to me blocks
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:and barriers really relate to subconscious and conscious parts
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:of our minds. Because I see blocks as being things you know,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:you put up that really well Kim like little throwing stones or
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:things you know, stumbling over. To me it blocks are often things
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:we're aware of like it might be, you might have a tech blog, I
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:think that's happened to all of us at some point, you know what
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:you want to do, but you're not quite sure how to do it. Or you
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:might have a block around whacking the particular vet or
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:something you just can't quite you know, you need to do it. It
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:just keeps kind of sliding off your to do list. But you're kind
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:of consciously aware that you're not actioning it. For me, the
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:barrier is so much more deep seated, you described it so well
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Kim is a brick wall, like it's really hard to break it down.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Not impossible, but it's going to take a little bit more work.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:And for me, the blocks quite often are a bit sneaky, and to
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:just exist in our subconscious. And how I teach mindset work is
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:in two ways, one to be aware of your thoughts. Because when you
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:start tuning into what you think you might well be surprised how
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:much of it can be quite negative, it's generally the
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:same thoughts. I think of them as like CDs, like back in the
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:day, I when I was a teenager, I thought it was so cool. Had a CD
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:player took three discs at a time, and it would filp between
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:them. And that's how we think of the programming in in our minds,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:maybe more than three CDs, but just you've got these set CDs,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:and it's just flipping between them. And for the barrier. I
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:think that it's in those old programming. We've not even
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:aware it's there until we go digging, which is the other way
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:I like to teach mindset work, go digging to find out what you
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:actually believe. And for me, this is how we can identify the
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:barriers. And in my time analogy that I was just talking about my
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:time example, I was aware that I had an issue of time, but when I
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:dug down into it, I didn't realize it was so deep seated
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:and it was so tied into actually what I could achieve in business
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:having small children, what I can achieve in business as a
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:woman, what I could achieve in the horsey world. It was really
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:it was a real pain. It was really multi dimensional. And
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:that was a big barrier. So that's I think is another way of
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:looking at blocks and barriers whether you are consciously
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:aware of them or you're not how deep They go, and how much how
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:many kinds of layers of old programming do we need to sort
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:of strip back to release? That's where I think is the best marker
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:of a barrier.
Kimberly Beer:That's excellent. That is an excellent
Kimberly Beer:description. And it's an excellent conversation I think
Kimberly Beer:people need to become aware of is looking around to their life
Kimberly Beer:and seeing where they're running into those blocks and where
Kimberly Beer:maybe the block is leading to a bigger barrier that they need to
Kimberly Beer:start chipping away at and working towards. I am so excited
Kimberly Beer:for the next part of our program, where you talk about
Kimberly Beer:your timeline therapy strategy, because I absolutely loved the
Kimberly Beer:very short conversation we had about this. So I'm super happy
Kimberly Beer:to hear that. What do we do with all of this? We want more
Kimberly Beer:confidence, we want those blocks and barriers out of our way.
Kimberly Beer:Share with us some of your wisdom around eliminating those
Kimberly Beer:out of our lives.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Yes, sure Kim, I'd love to. So
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:identifying the blocks and the barriers is definitely the first
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:step. And I'd love to share with the listeners that sometimes you
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:can feel a bit disheartened actually, I certainly did. When
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:I uncovered all these thoughts. I didn't know I had, like, I
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:described myself as a really positive person. And then it's,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:I felt like I sort of slit my myself open. And I was like, oh,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:no, I have all these really negative thoughts. Ah, I don't
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:want to think like this. I was really disheartened. So I would
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:just love to just advise your listeners, if you start kind of
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:digging and you don't like what you find. Please don't worry.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:That's the state exact same happened to me. But there is a
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:way forward and timeline therapy, which we're going to
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:discuss now is one way that we can start to release some of
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:these blocks and barriers and to chest start feeling a little bit
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:better.

Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:So timeline therapy is a gentle
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:technique where we can look back at the past event, we don't have
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:to go back into the event, we don't have to reimagine, say,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:falling off a horse or something I don't know a sad day at school
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:in your childhood, you don't have to get into it, you're just
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:going to watch it from a safe distance. But what we are aiming
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:to do by looking back in this event is take the key learnings
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:because the reason that we experienced the similar events
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:time and time again, the reason confidence issues hold people
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:back or they continue to find themselves in events, which just
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:reinforce that they lack confidence. It's to me, it's
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:like your subconscious is waving a great big flag or tapping you
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:on the shoulder going, hey, you need to solve this, I'm going to
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:keep reminding you again and again and again, until you
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:basically fix this until you go and do a bit more work on this.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:So timeline therapy allows you to look back at events and take
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:the learnings take the lessons from whatever that point in time
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:was so you can then release it. And I find that such a powerful
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:way to just let go and change programming because with our
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:subconscious mind, we say we've found, someone decides they've
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:got the same kind of barrier and blocked a time that I had, you
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:can't just like will yourself to feel differently, you can try it
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:just doesn't work as effectively you need to get in like I
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:described your subconscious mind as being like the set CDs
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:playing, you need to kind of get in there take out one of those
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:old CDs from the 90s from the 2000s and put in a new one. And
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:timeline therapy is a really effective way to do that. So
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:what I'd love to do is maybe talk through how this technique
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:works, and how people can have a little play around with with
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:using this technique themselves. It's helped my clients so much
Cara Taylor Swift:That's exactly what I was going to ask
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Oh perfect timing then fabulous.
Cara Taylor Swift:Yeah, that was perfect
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Amazing. Say when you identify a thought
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:that you don't want to have and I suggest to start off maybe go
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:with what they're working on the moment. So what is your goal,?
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Everybody if you're for this month, for example, and then you
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:go, okay, this is my goal. And then what I'd love people to do
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:is just get a piece of paper, and I call it going to the dark
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:side, just for a few minutes actually write down all the
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:reasons that you, you don't want to acknowledge that you feel
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:actually you can't do that goal. You can't have those sales, you
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:can't meet those new clients, you can't have those number of
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:people visit your store or shop. You don't want to acknowledge
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:that because you're trying to be positive all the time. So get
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:all that out on paper and see which one feels like your
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:biggest block. And then you'll probably find a theme, maybe
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:it's confidence, maybe it's time, maybe it's around money,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:let's just use those as some examples. And then the real
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:trick is to go back to the origin. So what is the point in
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:time when you decided, let's use confidence that you weren't a
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:confident person, because all of in some point, you know, babies
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:are not born lacking confidence, babies are like, wow, hey, I'm
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:over here, feed me cuddle me, there is a vote of confidence.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:There's some point, you know, whether it was really young
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:years, or whether it was as a teenager, or even as an adult,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:when you decided that you actually feel quite safe to
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:speak your mind or say that you wanted to, or someone told you,
Cara Taylor Swift:That's amazing.
Cara Taylor Swift:you were shy or you lacked confidence. And then that's how
Cara Taylor Swift:you then behaved since that event, so we need to go back to
Cara Taylor Swift:that origin story, that first event. So using this technique,
Cara Taylor Swift:which I'll just run through in a moment, we're going to go back
Cara Taylor Swift:to that event and take these lessons. So that's what I want
Cara Taylor Swift:people to do, first of all, find a block and trying to think,
Cara Taylor Swift:okay, when did I first feel this. So how timeline therapy
Cara Taylor Swift:works is close your eyes everybody, this is how I find
Cara Taylor Swift:easiest way to do please do not close your eyes, if you're
Cara Taylor Swift:driving, obviously pull over to do this is to just picture your
Cara Taylor Swift:past, your present right now listening to this podcast and
Cara Taylor Swift:your future, it's gonna form some kind of linear formation.
Cara Taylor Swift:For me, it goes left to right, like I'm reading a book for some
Cara Taylor Swift:of my clients, it goes forward to back, it may go diagonally
Cara Taylor Swift:doesn't matter. But what I want you to do is close your eyes,
Cara Taylor Swift:because you're definitely not driving and look down on this
Cara Taylor Swift:line of events that you know have happened. So maybe there's
Cara Taylor Swift:a past holiday, or Christmas or birthday or something. Or maybe
Cara Taylor Swift:you could line up family pets or animals or relationships, you
Cara Taylor Swift:can see these events in a line. And you're just going to hover
Cara Taylor Swift:way above this line, this timeline could be tiny, could be
Cara Taylor Swift:like the size of a pen or a ruler, because you're right up
Cara Taylor Swift:here. And then when you found your origin story, for whatever
Cara Taylor Swift:block you want to shift or change, you're just going to
Cara Taylor Swift:float along, until let's just say it's a you're at school,
Cara Taylor Swift:let's just say you're five, and you're at school, and someones
Cara Taylor Swift:laughed at you in the playground because that's when you decided
Cara Taylor Swift:you weren't very confident. You're going to just float along
Cara Taylor Swift:until you're looking down on this event. There you are in
Cara Taylor Swift:your school stuff, age five, six, whatever you were at
Cara Taylor Swift:starting school, and you can look down, you're not you're not
Cara Taylor Swift:being your old self, you're just looking down this little version
Cara Taylor Swift:of you. And all you want to do is just ask your mind, what do I
Cara Taylor Swift:need to take? What can I learn from this event, and I find
Cara Taylor Swift:people get the most amazing downloads and takeaways. They
Cara Taylor Swift:might be something like I was just nervous. I was just quiet
Cara Taylor Swift:that day. I was just unsure. I was just thinking and maybe
Cara Taylor Swift:somebody else took over maybe that's the point when someone
Cara Taylor Swift:said, Oh, she's just she's just shy. I'll tell you what she
Cara Taylor Swift:wants. And when you can see kind of see what happened. And you
Cara Taylor Swift:can get those learnings you can then apply them to your life and
Cara Taylor Swift:business right now. And I've used this strategy with so many
Cara Taylor Swift:of my clients and it works so amazingly well with one of my
Cara Taylor Swift:clients, Amy who really, really struggled with her confidence
Cara Taylor Swift:when we first started working together. We went back to a
Cara Taylor Swift:really early event where she felt like she couldn't say she
Cara Taylor Swift:couldn't get the words out. She couldn't say what she wanted to
Cara Taylor Swift:say. And the takeaways for her were I just couldn't get my
Cara Taylor Swift:words out. Like I didn't lack confidence. I just got my words
Cara Taylor Swift:in a muddle. And somehow I decided that I couldn't then
Cara Taylor Swift:speak in the future, like couldn't say what I wanted. Or
Cara Taylor Swift:it was a big drama to say what I wanted what because she could
Cara Taylor Swift:then take away for her business was actually I know what I want
Cara Taylor Swift:to say I'm not a small child, no one's going to interrupt me.
Cara Taylor Swift:I've got a platform I can speak. People need to hear from me and
Cara Taylor Swift:she was like a different person. This is something she struggled
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Yea so so powerful. Another great
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:with for years and she's changed so much just as a result of
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:using this technique. It was just
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:example client called Marry I can't even remember what we were
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:looking at in the first place. We were looking at one feeling
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:one emotion she wanted to shift we go to an event go to action,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:old memory, get some takeaways and out of nowhere comes it's
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:not safe for me to be in business, and it was, I had like
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:goosebumps listening, because I was like, wow, if you feel that
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:deep down, and this is such a great example of a barrier, she
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:had no idea she felt like this, she does, she's trying to get a
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:business up and going and talk about being like, you know,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:opposites in your body like a massive internal conflict. So
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:this is huge, and it's not safe for me to be in business. And
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:then actually, she was able to get some more downloads out of
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:this. And she was then able to start reprogramming her mind,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:actually, it is okay to be in business, it's safe, I got
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:control over this, and this and this and all the positives that
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:there are, but if we haven't managed to uncover that, and
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:again, another great example of a barrier because it was so deep
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:seated in there, and she kept getting frustrated and
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:procrastinating and not taking the action that she wanted all
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:the time. And then it's no surprise when that's what she
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:felt like deep down underneath. So that was another great
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:example of how powerful this technique can be.
Cara Taylor Swift:That's really incredible. So I was thinking
Cara Taylor Swift:about this, just while you were talking in what happens when the
Cara Taylor Swift:barrier or the block, I guess, I would say is something that is
Cara Taylor Swift:derived from not necessarily a single incident, but maybe a
Cara Taylor Swift:systemic societal oppression or a something that you know you
Cara Taylor Swift:mentioned, you know, I'm a woman, maybe in my culture, I
Cara Taylor Swift:haven't been set up to be a strong business owner, maybe
Cara Taylor Swift:I've been directed to other areas throughout my entire life.
Cara Taylor Swift:Can you do the same type of work when you don't have something to
Cara Taylor Swift:necessarily pinpoint? Because maybe it's been a lifetime? Or
Cara Taylor Swift:it's been, you know, something that's been kind of constant
Cara Taylor Swift:throughout your life that's been ingrained?
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Yeah. That's an amazing question. It
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:really is. I mean, the first thing that comes to my mind is
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:some of these barriers are kind of like an iceberg. Like that,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:you can just think you've got it like it's just the tip, and then
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:you start chipping away. And then you uncover actually, as
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:you said, it's like a systemic belief that has come from all of
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:these places, and you just don't even know where to start. So if
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:people feel like that, and let's use the example of feeling like
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:as a woman, you can't quite have what you want in business, like
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:it's a man's world. It's not a place for women, if that's the
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:kind of thoughts that maybe it will identify with some people,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:I would ask people to just try and think when they think about
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:that belief, is there anything that springs to mind? Because
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:quite often, yes, that will have come from multiple sources over
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:many, many years. But sometimes it's the smallest snatches of
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:conversation. In our youngest years, it could just be
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:something like you overheard the edge of a grown up conversation
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:where maybe one woman said to another, oh, goodness, it's
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:really hard working, or just the smallest thing. And it could
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:have just been part of a bigger conversation where they said,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:oh, it's hard working when the children are small, or it's hard
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:working because my husband's away at the moment or something
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:like that. But we you just heard this tiny snatch, and then you
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:made a decision about how things would be for you and ran with
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:it. So I would really encourage people to just sit with that
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:feeling and see if they can pinpoint one little part to kind
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:of go to and yes, for some blocks and some barriers, you
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:need to go from multiple angles, multiple ways, particularly the
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:kinds of beliefs which we have acquired over time, and have
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:been reinforced again, and again, you know, you mentioned
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Cara, you've heard it from friends, you've seen it with
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:parents, friends and media, every kind of TV program going
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:is reinforced that message, it's going to probably be a slower
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:process, but not impossible.
Cara Taylor Swift:Well, I would think a lifetime of programming
Cara Taylor Swift:wouldn't be something you could instantly get rid of. But I like
Cara Taylor Swift:that idea that you can think about the issue that you've
Cara Taylor Swift:identified and just find one place to start, you know, so I
Cara Taylor Swift:love that. Thank you so much for sharing that. And for answering
Cara Taylor Swift:that question.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:When you were there looking down on that
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:offense, you can also ask yourself, Where can I go next?
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Like what other event relates to this, when you're in that frame
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:of mind sometimes it can be really valuable to just say, is
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:there another point I need to look at? Is, what's the next
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:memory I need to dig into and uncover? And quite often the
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:answer is present.
Cara Taylor Swift:Now, would you recommend because you've
Cara Taylor Swift:given folks some strategies, a little bit that they can do on
Cara Taylor Swift:their own? And would you recommend someone seeking out
Cara Taylor Swift:some therapy, professional help? Do you have any kind of thoughts
Cara Taylor Swift:around that just to kind of point people in the right
Cara Taylor Swift:direction? If they're thinking, you know what, I've got a block
Cara Taylor Swift:I need to work through?
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Yeah, definitely start working on your
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:mindset in some capacity. If it feels like a big block, and you
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:just don't know where to tackle it. 100% go and get somebody to
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:help you with it. Just like training a horse. It's so much
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:easier with help. Why would we struggle on our own if you had a
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:new horse, you wouldn't expect to be able to I don't know take
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:it and jump at 140 level overnight. You would, it would
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:be progressive, you'd get help. So do the same but if you don't
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:maybe feel like quite ready for that I really encourage people
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:to start doing some kind of work on their mindset, it will so pay
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:off.
Cara Taylor Swift:Excellent Nikola, this has been such a
Cara Taylor Swift:great conversation. One of the things we always like to do
Cara Taylor Swift:before we leave the show is to think about the folks that are
Cara Taylor Swift:listening, and can you share something that our listeners can
Cara Taylor Swift:do right now to start working on their mindset, or maybe to start
Cara Taylor Swift:developing a mindset that's going to set them up for more
Cara Taylor Swift:business success? Can you share something that folks can do like
Cara Taylor Swift:when they turn this podcast episode off,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:I 100% can okay, affirmations quite
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:trendy people have probably heard of them it's an I am
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:statement, you know, I am an amazing rider. I'm a fantastic
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:businesswoman, whatever it is you want to believe. Now,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:sometimes affirmations don't do the job. And I think the reason
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:for that is because we aren't quite feeling them. So if you
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:feel like your business is just you know, really not going the
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:way you want to, and you're trying to tell yourself night
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:and day, I'm a millionaire. I'm a millionaire. It's, you're just
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:not feeling it are you? So affirmations are really
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:powerful. For me, they work really well on both the
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:conscious and subconscious level if you personalize them. So what
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:I'd love everyone to do, as soon as they finish listening to this
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:episode is take all of your blocks that you've identified
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:and flip them over into positives. So you believe you
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:don't have all the time you're going to turn that into I have
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:all the time I need, I have plenty of time to work on my
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:business, I have all the resources, whatever it is, you
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:need to believe that you have turn them into affirmations. And
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:then rather than just writing in a notebook and leaving it there,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:I would love everybody, we've all got the most amazing devices
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:in our pockets, our phones to just voice record yourself
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:saying 20, 30 affirmations, you know, you're trying to hit some
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:online, there's loads on my website, and just, but
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:personalize them, make them real to you, your goals, your
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:business, your life, they don't just have to be about business,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:they could be about relationships, your family, your
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:children, your friends, but say them. Say them over and over
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:again, record it and then try and listen to that 5, 6, 10
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:times a day, you know, just a 5, 10 minute recording, you can
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:easily listen to that multiple times coming on in the
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:background. while you're driving. It could be on while
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:you're cooking dinner, walking the dog, whatever you're doing
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:about your day, but trust me the actions that you will take when
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:you believe that it's all happening are incredible. So
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:whatever it is website, visitors, sales, downloads or
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:something, just tell yourself hundreds of people have visited
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:the sales page. 1000s of people have joined my email list,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:whatever it is you want. Just tell yourself it's happening.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Listen to yourself saying it again and again and again. And
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:then just watch it happen. Watch yourself take more action than
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:you ever thought possible. It's literally just like a magical
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:spell, it really is so powerful. And I would love everybody 10
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:minutes out of the day to go do that straightaway.
Cara Taylor Swift:I love that that is such an easy, it's an
Cara Taylor Swift:easy thing that someone can implement and then see change
Cara Taylor Swift:from so one of the things that I did this earlier this week, I
Cara Taylor Swift:had a shoot that I was very nervous about, I have certain
Cara Taylor Swift:times during the month that I'm less creative. I'm just gonna
Cara Taylor Swift:leave it at that where I feel mentally less creative. And so I
Cara Taylor Swift:put a reminder on my phone, and it was very simple. It was it
Cara Taylor Swift:was you are a creative person, and you have great ideas. And
Cara Taylor Swift:you will make this successful. And it popped up about 20
Cara Taylor Swift:minutes before my shoot and it was just one of those silly
Cara Taylor Swift:little I'm showing you my phone. But it was one of those silly
Cara Taylor Swift:little like reminders that you set, but it's supposed to be for
Cara Taylor Swift:an activity and it popped up on my phone and I looked at it, I
Cara Taylor Swift:was like I got it. So it's just super, super silly thing.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:And imagine if you'd heard yourself
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:saying that like 10 times for the whole week before. It's
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:great. You know, phone reminders are a great way to use
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:affirmations
Cara Taylor Swift:Use your tech,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Just yeah, double down on that 10
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:times it and it really is so powerful. And I'm really glad
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:you've had to play around with that as well Cara.
Cara Taylor Swift:Nicola, this has been amazing. Thank you so
Cara Taylor Swift:much for helping us walk through the big three and giving folks
Cara Taylor Swift:strategies that they could do right now. I would love to give
Cara Taylor Swift:you an opportunity to tell folks a little bit about your program.
Cara Taylor Swift:Do you mind doing that?
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:Of course Cara. Thank you so much.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:So the program that I offer for equine practitioners is called
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:the Expert Academy. It's a 12 month group coaching program.
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:And it is designed as you could probably guess to be mindset and
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:business strategy. It is designed to help practitioners
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:fill their diary, increase their income and stop those feast and
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:famine months, which really derails so many people so what
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:we do in the program is we offer eight core modules plus live
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:coaching each and every month. So I support you for 12 months
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:and just watch people change before my very eyes. So more of
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:the same deep subconscious work we've been talking about today,
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:uncovering those blocks and giving people strategy that
Nicola Kinnard-Comedie:works to build their business.
