He is one of the members in my group coaching program called MasterHeart and Scott and Scott's gonna be sharing some of the business lessons He's learned in in our work together and just in building his business growing his coaching business Scott great to have you here. Oh, thanks George. I'm happy to be here. Yeah So I'm gonna read your bio Scott so that those watching have some context about the kind of work you do and then We'll get into talking about the business lessons and you can also talk tells about the energy work that you do So Scott Walker teaches an energy tool called universal sphere Which is powerful and easy to learn and use and Scott. I'll have you talk a bit about universal sphere later The technique is taught in in through in-person workshops, but also can be done at a distance through sessions with Scott Scott supports people also supports people diagnosed with bipolar disorder in going from just surviving to thriving with their mental health and doing it naturally and Scott you and I were just talking a bit Before this and you've you've of course revealed publicly that you have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and have managed that Quite naturally for years Right and so can you touch on that just a little bit so those who are watching this can hear that? Certainly. Yeah, I appreciate you asking George. I was diagnosed in 2000 and when I was first diagnosed I didn't know what the heck was going on and I was convinced that I would never be normal Whatever normal is or happy again, and I'm really grateful that now I'm at a place in my life where I'm mentally stable happy healthy And I'm medication-free with the support of various doctors that I've worked with whether that's Psychiatrists or general doctors so some people told me. Oh, you're just special or oh not everyone can do that and I'm fully I'm fully Convinced that people with a serious mental illness like bipolar disorder can do it naturally and I'm living proof of that That's amazing. That is that's so inspirational. So I'm definitely gonna have you talk about that a bit more After we first cover some of the business lessons as most people watching the video Are you know entrepreneurial or whining the group start a growing business? I think some of the lessons you've learned will be beneficial and inspiring for them as well. So I'll let you start anywhere with with in terms of business lessons. Well, is there a particular kind of topic you want to start with? well, I just wanted to first quickly say that I've been in a lot of business group coaching programs mentorships Masterminds Strictly for business and the group that I'm in with George is so inspiring. It's an incredibly supportive knowledgeable caring group of people and It's it's just what George is someone who leads by example So I just wanted to first say that that I am so grateful And I feel blessed to be a part of Georgia's community. What he's created there is Not like anything I've seen out there It's people will like I've been the beneficiary of so many Sessions and teachings and learnings from other members in the group not only for my business benefit but also for my personal benefit and It's just such a giving caring nature in that group So I just wanted to touch on that quickly at the start because that's it's been incredible. Thank you so much I so appreciate you mentioning that it is really Extraordinary the the folks who are in Masterheart and the kind of love that is there a mutual support. So thank you And so yeah, so what have you as you think about your business? Particularly the past year, but just even in previous years. What what is what are some of the most important kind of things you would Say to somebody who gives them encouragement or some advice to those who are also growing their business Yeah, so I do have a couple of notes here. Just looking down to see what I wrote. So I don't yeah Yeah, the overriding two pieces. I would say number one is that selling is serving and number two Marketing through quality relevant and consistent content for myself I used to see My business as something that I had to be selling and I had to be doing these pitches and Memorize my elevator pitch and go to these in-person networking events and right and I got a med through Through Masterheart and through George modeling it I do really see that my business is is really here to serve people and it's really here to to help them and I do my best to have a lot of free content that people can actually get valuable Information and tools that will help them right now and that's whether they ever pay me a dime or not now Don't get me wrong. I certainly would love for them to be clients at some point However, I realized that for different reasons that's not in the cards for everybody But I really see that the content that I produce is Really serving them and I'm really doing my best Now and moving forward to have my best content be free content So there are some businesses out there that feel all of your best content has to be your premium content that you charge lots of money for and I'm of the opinion that you know what I'd rather give people all of my content for free and Then the people who desire to pay to work with me There'd be more refining and helping them and holding their hand as opposed to them paying for the content So that's been a huge a huge shift for me And then the marketing through quality relevant and consistent content and now let me just pause you right there Let's talk about that a little bit. I Love that you have been reframing Your your business from from from selling to serving is it is such a well, it's an energetic shift, isn't it? In the relationship to your audience and this idea of giving away your best content is powerful because Then I'll tell you as somebody who has given away most of my content Even by giving it away We can if we want to monetize a package of it later That's the I guess that's a secret in in the content world that most people don't realize You know, you you can give as much content as you want to weigh and still your biggest fans Won't have consumed all of it number one But they secondly they may not have consumed it in the in some kind of order that is most beneficial for a particular transformation And so you can always of course decide I'm gonna put some videos together as an online course or You know, I'm gonna put some of my posts together as a book or whatever it is and still monetize that in the future So so we are not closing the door off From being able to sell our content even if we give it away for free and that's what that's what boggles the mind Which if I look at if you look at my books, that's essentially what they are my books Which I sell, you know Our collections of my free content, you know and a lot of my workshops, too The paid workshops a lot of it really the content was originally developed as free content That's already out there and so it is it is really true. What you say is that? We don't have to be afraid to do that, you know So so talk about talk about what what you're learning in terms of terms of quality relevant consistent content Yeah, so I recently started doing YouTube live videos and for me that was outside of my comfort zone I've been doing Facebook live videos for about a year But for me YouTube, maybe it's more on my head But YouTube is like a whole other level because it's like all of a sudden it's on YouTube and it's like anyone in the world can do it You don't have to be on Facebook, right? so I have a weekly YouTube live that I do called Wellness Wednesday and Yesterday I did episode 7 so I do it at 9 a.m. Every Wednesday mountain time 9 a.m. Mountain time and we'll be sure to put the link to your YouTube channel in the notes of the video So folks can check it out. Oh, thanks. Yeah, I'd appreciate that and You know what I'm noticing is so interesting is that not only are my target Clients potential clients people diagnosed with bipolar disorder Starting to watch those videos. However, there's people in my my social circle and family That are starting to watch them because what I share in those videos those live videos are essentially tips about natural mental wellness and Obviously it's geared towards people with bipolar disorder however, it is something that anyone can benefit from and so in terms of quality relevant and consistent content What I'm doing with those videos is I'm actually making a plan before doing the videos and you know, I'm fumbling at times and I know even a few weeks ago. I did a live where I hit I hit go live I did my little spiel and then I forgot what I was going to talk about so that that still happens once in a while but what I will say is that It's something that number one. I enjoy doing I can see that people are starting to watch it which of course is encouraging and I'm really doing my best in those videos to make sure it's every week So that is consistent that there's value in there and that it's relevant that it's it's things that people Can benefit from whether it's someone in deep despair? Struggling with bipolar disorder or whether it's my buddy down the street That's just curious about how we can have better natural mental health So the interesting thing is that as as more and more people And again, it's it's it's growing. It's it's not a Viral sort of video at this point, but I do feel that you know every week There's a few more people watching a few more people watching then what I notice is that When I look at my overall views for YouTube that it's jumping and that's because I feel some people maybe they'll they'll watch a bit of the Wellness Wednesday, and then they they click on videos and they see the different videos They're like, oh, maybe I'll check this out or or I even just have a few one minute one minute nature videos Some people just like to see that just to kind of have a nice One-minute break in their day and watch a beautiful nature scene that I've shot. That's great idea So yeah, that's I just find that encouraging again. That's Ideally through those people seeing the videos. They may go to my website. They may talk about what I'm doing They may refer someone there So that's been that's been really really valuable for me And I still have a ton to learn with YouTube I fully admit, but it's I'm enjoying the journey. Wow. Yeah, I love that So and those who are watching this, you know, if you want to check out What Scott's doing on his YouTube channel and be sure to click on the link in the notes of the video here So let's Transition a little bit and and start talking sharing with us about your energy work Do you want to share what you said to me before? Before the call about how, you know, how you're how it's helping you right now Certainly. Yeah, I'd be happy to so as I mentioned at the start I'm I'm fortunate and grateful to be mentally stable that being said I still have ups and downs with my moods as does everyone in life watching the The the thing with bipolar disorder is of course when I have a get into a lower depressed state That can spiral into depression quicker for me than for the average person and I admit on Monday this week. I realized that I was in a low state I won't get into details during this interview but I recognize that I was definitely mildly depressed and Fortunately, I have a wide a range of tools that I've learned and that I use to turn around that state quickly What I will say is the the tool that is now my number one tool in my toolkit for getting me back to being mentally stable is doing Universal spheres for other people Because for anyone watching that's had that's been mildly depressed or depressed in General when someone's in that state in my experience, I'm all in my head and it's all about me So what this does is at a conscious level? It gets me out of my head and thinking about how I can support someone else and At an energetic level what it's doing is it's raising my vibration It's raising that person's vibration and it's also adding love and light to the world, which is sorely needed So yeah, and I don't want to sound like a total salesman But it will say that as soon as I did a couple of spheres for people without them knowing it coming from a space of love Of course My mood instantly shifted from being mildly depressed to stable if not in a good mood Wow, and that was literally within 10 minutes, and I know that sounds hokey, and that's no no I it was it was quick. It was very quick. That's amazing That's amazing. That's really really cool Is there anything you wanted to talk about, you know? Universal sphere in terms of like well, what is it? What is it like? You know give us kind of some some backstory on that context certainly. Yeah, thanks for asking It's it's a very new energy tool. It came about in 2011. Oh, wow, and it's it's referred to as a next generation energy tool So it's something that is essentially Tapping it directly into collective consciousness and collective consciousness has love and unconditional support for all of us all the time most people are Unaware of that and they're not able to access it So learning an energy tool like universal sphere allows a person to directly tap into that unconditional love and support that's always there and Every time our universal sphere is done as I mentioned before it adds love and light to the planet It also raises my vibration and it rises the raises the vibration of the planet as well that's an energetic vibration as Many people watching may know our planet is in a time of ascension right now There's rapid changes happening happening environmentally socially culturally. You name it good and bad and Universal sphere is a tool that allows Ourselves as people to add love and light to the world while raising the vibration of the planet And and it can be done for specific things as well. Like for example There's one time where I had a really upset stomach I was going to the bathroom many times in a short period of time and I thought, you know What what can I do? So I sat down I did a sphere for myself to have an ideal vibrant healthy stomach and Within 20 minutes my stomach had settled. So so even though there's all this grandiose big picture Planetary effects of universal sphere. There's also tangible Real-world ways it can be used as well. So that's why I love it. And that's why I'm so passionate about it so great and You are giving a special kind of offer for those who are watching this And I want to talk about it. I think it's exciting. So For anyone who is watching this and you're curious about experiencing universal sphere With scott and a one-to-one session at a distance, you know, you can just do it through zoom or Call phone call or something. Does it have to be video or is a phone or how's that? Either I've done sessions by phone or video either or good. I just had a session earlier today by phone Yeah, I typically prefer zoom.
