1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,840
What's the story behind your why?

2
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:03,440
People talk about the why a lot.

3
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,080
I'd love to know the story behind yours.

4
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:06,920
Great question.

5
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,600
When I was really young, my grandmother used to say

6
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,240
that I was stupid, fat, and ugly.

7
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,960
And I don't think that I ever was any of those

8
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,720
because first I was the number one in my class

9
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,960
with an average of 9.81 out of 10.

10
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,900
I was never that chubby as to, you know,

11
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:28,960
not be able to fit into an airline seat.

12
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,160
And, you know, so there was no evidence

13
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:35,040
to what she actually said, but I somehow did believe it.

14
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,920
And I believe for a really long time that I wasn't worth it.

15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,480
And I think it became apparent to me as I, you know,

16
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:48,480
moved to London 18 years ago, that I had to prove myself,

17
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,400
that I had to kind of prove that I mattered.

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,040
And then I gradually went on this journey

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:00,040
of understanding why somehow I was manifesting so easily

20
00:01:00,420 --> 00:01:03,280
and somehow, and in some days,

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,320
everything felt like such a struggle, okay?

22
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:09,440
And then I realized that, wow,

23
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,260
there are certain things that I'm manifesting really quickly

24
00:01:12,260 --> 00:01:14,000
because I feel joyful.

25
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,000
And then I started running a property business.

26
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,640
And for a long time, for about five years,

27
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,200
it felt like it was the right thing to do.

28
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,720
But at some point I reached this limit

29
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,400
where I was feeling like I was pushing

30
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,040
and chasing money and struggling.

31
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,320
Despite the fact that I managed to increase

32
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:39,320
the property revenues from 400K per year to 642K per year,

33
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:44,600
I was feeling like I reached this limit, okay?

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,800
And it was only then that I kind of started to go

35
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,480
on this journey of discovering myself

36
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,580
and understanding why that was.

37
00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:54,600
And the more I went on this journey,

38
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,600
I realized that I want to prove that I matter

39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,680
and how I wanna prove that I matter

40
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,200
is through making something,

41
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,320
creating something that really makes a massive difference.

42
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,600
And for me, creating books that transform the world

43
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,600
is my way of elevating millions of people

44
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,320
to believe that they matter.

45
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,400
And when I do that, when I help them

46
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,480
to fulfill their full potential, I feel that I matter.

47
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,160
That's my way of proving to myself that I matter.

48
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:52,160
So that's my way.
