[00:00:08] Phil Bohol

What's going on, you guys? 

It's Phil Bohol. 

And welcome to the Phil Bohol show, where we have real talk about family, fitness, finance, and everything that would hold you back from leveling up in every area of your life and more importantly, how I personally got through them. 

Everybody else in this world wants to bullshit you. 

I'm here to give you the truth. 

Leah, do everybody a favor. 

Just introduce yourself. 

Who you are, where you're from, what your offer is, and what it is that you want to leave this coaching call with today to help you break through whatever ceiling you're hitting inside of your business.

[00:00:48] Leah K

Thanks, Phil. 

So my name's Leah Kapral. 

I'm in Australia, near Byron Bay, beautiful place, and I am a blood sugar coach. 

And my offer is I help business owners or corporate employees who are over 40 that are ready to take responsibility, and they want to lose weight, reduce health risks such as diabetes, heart disease, and fatty liver, and feel good again.

That’s me!

[00:01:23] Phil Bohol

Love that… So let's dive in with what are you struggling with right now? 

What's the biggest thing that we need to unlock during our next 45 minutes together to take your business to the next level?

[00:01:38] Leah K

Yes. 

So I would say what I'm struggling with is that in the past, I've played not to lose rather than play to win. 

So, yeah. 

Commitment to myself. 

And when I do that, I'll be able to service. 

Yeah, service people in my business.

[00:02:07] Phil Bohol

So do you feel like you're basically transitioning from that survival mode into, like, abundance, and you're having trouble connecting the two?

[00:02:16] Leah K

Yeah.

[00:02:16] Phil Bohol

Bridging it, basically. 

Okay. 

How do you think it's holding you back right now? 

Like, in what ways? 

If you can identify that.

[00:02:26] Leah K

I'd say just a bit of scarcity, skilled (with the tech). 

So that overwhelm thinking too far into the future, structure, and I'm sure there's some I'm not good enough or impostor syndrome going on, for sure.

[00:03:02] Phil Bohol

Okay, so why was it easier to be in survival mode versus the mode that you're in right now?

[00:03:09] Leah K

Um… why was it easier? 

Um, it was easier because I was an employee, and the people I was surrounded with, they were all in survival. 

Now, I've got some assets, so I've got a bit of space to design this. 

So I'm not… I'm not in survival, but it's not really, it's not accelerating at the rate I would like it to. 

So, yeah, I'd say environment, it's the only way I knew culturally.

[00:03:55] Leah K

Yeah.

[00:03:57] Phil Bohol

So now that you've got some assets. 

Are you, like, just not moving at the speed in which you want? 

Are you getting in your way? 

What is that? 

Because what I'm doing right now is I'm analyzing kind of, like, your thought process, where you're taking yourself mentally, and I'm trying to pinpoint where you're getting in your way. 

So what's going on? 

Now that you're in a, a better place, you don't have to survive. 

You know, all of that good stuff. 

You're at this stage, think about, like, your day, think about your business. 

Think about this impact. 

Right.

[00:04:31] Phil Bohol

You want to impact the lives of 10,000 people, 100,000 people, right. 

Um, to become that, and I think I was talking to this, uh, with somebody else to survive, is “I just need to figure out how to put food on the table”. 

“I just need to figure out how I'm going to pay my mortgage next month or my rent next month or my bills next month or my car note next month”.

But when we transition from that survival place to now, we have to look forward to something. 

And it's kind of like being in open water. 

Sometimes we don't know how to operate in that place because we're so used to looking behind us, to run away from the very thing that we're afraid of. 

But now we have to look forward to something, and sometimes it's a very hard thing to look forward to something.

[00:05:09] Phil Bohol

So in what ways are you getting in your own way right now?

[00:05:17] 

Yeah, I'd say clarity of the future.

[00:05:21] Phil Bohol

Okay. Hmm.

[00:05:25] Leah K

Yeah. 

[00:05:27] Phil Bohol

Clarity of the future. 

So that's… clarity of the future. 

Okay.

So a lot of the times when we're thinking about moving towards something, right. 

I literally, I think I just got off a call with somebody today about this, and we're talking about envisioning what it is that we're running towards, right. 

Because if we're not clear on our target, it's kind of like sighting in on a sniper rifle or a machine gun, but we don't really know what we're aiming at. 

And if we don't know, then we can't pull the trigger.

[00:05:58] Phil Bohol

We can't do the “thing”. 

We can't build the business. 

We can't grow our impact. 

We can't really operate day to day with any type of structure or discipline because we don't know why we're doing it. 

And a lot of the time, I think people, they… they forget that the simple things really do scale them. 

The simple things are really the things that we have to focus on to be able to get to the next level. 

So have you spent any time really asking yourself and putting like, literal pen to paper what it is that you're going towards? 

Like, when I say that, I mean, what is this dream life?

What is the house? 

What is the quality of life? 

How do you want to be spending your time? 

What time do you want to wake up every single day? 

When you wake up every single day and you open your eyes, what do you want to see? 

When you think about having nights, how do you want to spend your nights? 

How do you want to spend your weekends? 

What is that quality of life? 

Have you spent any time getting so clear as if you can literally feel like you're there already? 

Have you spent any time there?

[00:07:03] Leah K

It's a really interesting question because, like, it's a year since I left my relationship. 

 

And during that, like, as soon as, within weeks of grieving that I set up a vision board and everything… no, I'd say no.

90, 80% has, has been created. 

The dream of supporting others, like making a big impact and also not being location, not needing to be located somewhere to work. 

So that freedom, sense of freedom hasn't been created.

[00:08:02] Phil Bohol

Has to be, right? 

And you have to keep in mind, vision board, or getting clear on it doesn't mean, like, that's it forever. 

Like, you can literally create this today and in seven days and 30 days, the shit will change again because you as a human, you're changi
