Hey you guys, welcome back to the podcast. I have had a pretty epic few days so I'm excited to be with you. This weekend me and my family went on an adventure where we drove around, kind of like the desert I guess you could say, in eastern Nevada and southern Idaho and we explored mountains and lakes and waterfalls. We saw deer and elk and birds and coyotes and we went hiking and swimming and it was just so fun. It was so fun.
We're getting ready to start a school here in a few weeks and so it was really fun to be all together as a family. And at the same time, which was really fun, last week I did a program called Kairos which is about the art of aligned timing and then I opened the doors to Quantum Play and my brand new program called the Amber Smith Vortex, which I'll be talking about a lot.
Some of you already joined which is so fun. The Amber Smith Vortex is basically my program where you get everything that I do in a group format. So basically everything except my mastermind and my private coaching. So if you want to check it out, I'll make sure that that's in the show notes, www.itsambersmith.com forward slash vortex if you want to read more.
I'm really really excited about that program and I actually just got off our first Quantum Play call today and so I'm feeling the vibes of possibility and creation and I'm excited to talk about the most abundant August ever, which of course will come out on August 1st, which is perfect. I'm creating it in July, of course, but I am really excited about this topic because this was inspired by a conversation I had with my mastermind, the Abundance Mastermind.
We were just chatting about their goals and what they're up to in business and it's a really amazing group of ladies. I love them so much and if you're listening to this and you're in the mastermind, I love you so much and I really love our conversations. They're very expansive and so I've been pondering this since our call last week about how to make August the most abundant August ever, TMAAE, and I came up with seven ideas that I wanted to share with you and I love the word abundance. As you know, that's what my podcast is, Abundant Heart.
More than wealth, even. I like the word wealth but I like the word abundance even more, prosperity, because to me it means more than just money. I have an abundant life and so yes I have, create, use, spend, save, give money, but I also have a lot of other things, thriving relationships, deep spiritual connection, purpose, enjoyment, time. I have a lot of time freedom. So that's what abundance means to me is like it's more than money but it includes money, of course.
And so as I was jotting these ideas down, I was like this is a good list and so I'm excited to share it with you. The first thing that I wrote down was rampages of appreciation and if you've never done this before, it will change your state and like change your frequency pretty quickly. Pick something in your life to appreciate and write down all the aspects of it that you appreciate.
Like I'm looking out my office windows, like the view outside your office window, like I can see like the leaves moving in the wind and I love having a big tree in front of my office. Like I can appreciate that and when I do appreciate that I feel abundant. Another way that you can use this is like appreciating just like everything in your life.
Like you appreciate your house, your kids, you can appreciate that you have a computer, you appreciate all the knowledge that you've grown in, all the wisdom that you've grown in, you can appreciate the tools and the education, you can appreciate your car, right? That it gets you from point A to point B no matter how old it is. You can appreciate your desk, you can appreciate your body, your eyes, you can keep going on and on. I recommend you go as long as you can.
You will feel differently about your life. So what's funny is is like when you think about the most abundant August ever, I know when I first said that my mind immediately went to like the things that I was gonna create and that I don't have. Like more money, more clients, more opportunities, whatever. But I think grounding, when I started to like really ground and imagine what I wanted to say, I realized like the foundation of all abundance is feeling like what you have right now is enough.
And so I actually think before you jump into other things that you want to create, I would start with a rampage of appreciation for things in your life. Your current business, your current clients, your current house, your current car, your current job, if you have a job. Really like appreciating your life. The second thing, and this is actually three bullet points that I wrote down, is asking. So to sum up, you're gonna ask more boldly, you're gonna ask more frequently, and you're gonna ask for things that you've never asked for before.
And by doing this, how I see this, is it puts you in a realm of new possibilities. If you ask for what you've always asked for, you'll get what you've always got. And so this kind of ties back to an episode that I created a few weeks ago called MTOP, money through other people. If you're a business owner, if you are married, if you are a parent, if you are a child, if you are a sister or a brother, if you are a neighbor or a community member, like it doesn't matter who you are, you need to be asking for what you want.
And if you've been asking for the same things over and over again, or not asking for the same things, you're gonna keep getting the same things. And so if you want August to be the most abundant August ever, you're gonna ask for bolder things in business. Asking for bigger amounts of money, asking for different kinds of money, whether that's like maybe you're scaling and so you're gonna ask more people for money for the same amount of work.
The other thing that I think a lot of you need to hear is like to ask more frequently. You're gonna ask more times, basically. You're gonna put invitations into the world, or at least put yourself in environments to ask in order to receive. So this could be conversation with potential clients, this could be going to a social event, this could be email marketing, this could be asking on your social media or in your podcast or on your TikTok or on YouTube or whatever platforms you use.
This could be asking real people from your life, but you're gonna ask boldly and more frequently and you're gonna ask for new things. That is the trifecta if you really want to make more money specifically. The same rules apply for like relationships, the same rules apply for health. I remember the first time I hired a fitness coach and I realized like I wanted to start going to the gym. This was a few years ago and I realized like I had never asked for time alone to go to the gym and that's not even like a patriarchy thing like I need to ask my husband.
That's not what I mean, but like asking can be planning, asking can be explaining what you're gonna do and getting the support of your partner. That's kind of how that conversation went. Like I want to go to the gym, how can we make that happen? That created a new possibility of like strength and exercise and a gym routine. Like I go to the gym almost every single day. I go to the gym like five or six times a week and that came from creating space to ask.
And so it's not just money, but it includes money. It could be date nights, it could be time alone, it could be going on a trip, traveling, it could be joining a group, it could be going out to eat, like you name it. Are you asking for what you really want? Which infers that you know what you want. And so this whole, the most abundant August ever kind of includes knowing what you want to have happen.
And when you ask more boldly, you ask more frequently, and you ask for new things, I promise you will have a very different August than you did last year. You don't have to save this just for August. I hope you do it beyond, but I think so many of us get kind of in the rut of like expecting what we've always expected and asking for what we've always asked for and kind of getting complacent, at least comfortable, where it's like this is what it is.
And then things start to decline or we get resentful or we feel like we're not hitting what we really want in our life and it's because we weren't conscious creators of it. And so the whole point of this podcast is to make you a conscious creator of your August. If you really want it to be the most abundant August ever, you're going to ask for bolder things more frequently or new things.
And so when you combine this, where you're appreciating rampage of appreciation, you're appreciating your current life and you're asking for bigger, bolder, more aligned things like you will be different and not from a place of need, but from a place of grounded creation, which I think is a really useful way to be an entrepreneur because you don't need it to work. You're just excited to see the possibilities unfold. You don't need clients, but you'd love them.
You don't need more money, but it's fun to have it and it gives you more choices. It's such a different energy than like, I need to sign a client or I need to make more money. And so when you ponder these things for yourself, you're rampaging appreciation, you're asking more boldly, more frequently and for new things. The other thing that I think is really useful is to live inspired.
And so when I wrote live inspired, I also kind of thought of like, love your reality, those two things together. So you're going to live inspired and love your reality. I think this means getting outside, going on walks, appreciating your home. It could be tending to your garage or your office. Maybe it's cleaning out your closet. I just did this last week and it felt so good to love my reality and have to take care of it. That's obvious to some people and not obvious to other people.
When we love our reality, we spend time with it instead of doom scrolling or listening to another podcast. It's funny because you're listening to podcasts right now. But instead of filling your time with more content, enjoy reality and live inspired. So put yourself in the path of inspiration. This could be going on a walk. This could be meditating outside. That's like my favorite way to meditate is like in the grass or outside on my chair. Interact with reality.
You will feel more abundant. Like I mentioned at the beginning of this podcast, we just spent the weekend out in nature, hiking and driving around and looking at cool stuff in reality. I felt so much better than when I scroll on my phone or when I sit at my computer or when I read another article. I try to be really mindful of those things because I don't feel better. I actually said this to a group once. I was like, you didn't come to earth to read a bunch of self-help books.
And as a self-help author myself, I say that with a lot of love. I think books can be tools. I think coaching can be tools. I think even podcasts like this can be tools. But they can't replace living in reality. They have to assist you in living in your reality better with more depth, with more appreciation, with more wonder and awe and with more tools so that you can navigate hard things and so that you can create what of course.
But my guess is most of you actually need to lessen how much you're consuming and strengthen how much you're creating not just in business but in life. Creating content, creating relationships, creating experiences, creating pathways of inspiration, creating space to receive revelations, to receive ideas so that you can carry them out in your business or in your life.
Spending time with your family, spending time forging new connections and relationships, putting yourself in places for new ideas to get inspired by. If you repeat, repeat, repeat, that's how we get stuck. And there's this quote from Robin Sharma that I really like. He's like, don't live the same life 75 times and call it a life. Every year, if it's the same year repeated, I think I butchered the quote, but hopefully you get the concept.
If you are repeating, repeating, repeating and you don't like what you're getting, it's time to make a conscious shift. And that's my invitation. If you want August to be the most abundant August ever, you're going to do things that you haven't done before. You're going to ask for things that you haven't asked for before. You're going to go places that you haven't gone before. You're going to love your reality more than you've ever loved it before.
And so part of this is an awareness. Part of this is a way of being. Part of this is the way that you're thinking about your life, the way that you're entangling with possibilities. Part of this is getting in the room with the right people. I can't even tell you how much of a difference that has made in my life is like getting in rooms where the energetics is elevated, that people are up to something, that they're creators instead of just consumers.
And so part of that, you know, if you're listening to a podcast like this, you're probably connected to people that are like you. How can you elevate that even more? Not from a place of scarcity or lack, but truly like from expansion that you're up to something in August. That's what it should feel like. Right. You're on the brink. I used to use this journal before I created my own called Something Amazing is About to Happen.
And then I kind of formulated it in my own way in my lightning alignment journal. But when you live on the brink of something about to happen, right, you magnetize people to you. People are interested in what you're up to. And that's when wealth flows in because your magnet is on. And so when you ponder and look forward to this month of August with all the possibilities, all the potential, it's like a blank slate, which is so fun.
I love that we have the chance to do that every day, every week, every month, every year. We have the chance to reset and recalibrate. And so that's my final invitation to you is like recalibrate to abundance. If it's been a while since you read a money mindset book, read a money mindset book. If it's been a while since you went on a walk and just appreciated everything that you saw in the spirit of gratitude, like enjoyed your real life, do it.
If it's been a while since you made an offer in your marketing, make an offer, make a bolder offer, make more frequent offers, make new offers. That's actually how you welcome in more abundance as you create the channels and the pathways for money to flow to you, money through other people. And so my invitation, like I said, is to like live this stuff. It's one thing to listen to a podcast, but what I hope you do is like you actually get out your journal and you do a rampage of appreciation.
You actually go on social media and you post the link to buy something from you. Or you write an email and invite people to have a call with you. Or you send a personal message to someone that you've been thinking about and invite them to a 20 minute chat. You make the bold leap of faith to welcome in and create channels for abundance. What's funny is like you don't have to wait for August.
I just think it's interesting that we all feel a different energy at the first start of the month. And so I kind of wanted to piggyback on that energy that you probably already feel like it's a new month. We've never had August 2025 before. What will you do with it from this clean slate energy? How can you make it the most abundant August ever? I hope you do. I hope you make those bold asks. I hope you ask more frequently. I hope you ask for new things.
I hope you appreciate more. I hope you love your reality. I hope you live inspired. This is to me how we actually feel let in and attract more abundance. And so that's my encouragement for you. As always, thank you for listening to this podcast. If it feels aligned, go check out the Amber Smith Vortex. I'll be sharing more about that soon. And I will see you soon. Talk to you later. Bye.
