Have a Gong Fu Tea & Relax With Entrepreneur Eric Turnnessen

Invest in You

In today's podcast Fredrick, Ivan and Charlie are joined by the founder of MemberMouse and owner of LearnGongFuTea.com, Eric Turnnessen. Together, they discuss why it is important for people to have a personal practice which enables them to learn about themselves, the law of attraction as well as discussing how the things you invest your time in, is what will become of you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• With a 9-5 job you get certain dependability and a certain level of security but you also do not have any ability to make things speed up on your own. Personality-wise, if you are okay with taking risks and enjoy unpredictable moments then you will enjoy the life of an entrepreneur.
• It is really important for people to have a personal practice where they learn about themselves. It is about having something that you do consistently every day because if you do something consistently, you will learn to tune into the more subtle aspects of that experience. When you turn into the subtle aspects of something, you form a deeper relationship with it and you learn to listen more.
• The law of attraction is a positive thing. Like so many other things, it got ‘productised’ to the point where it almost lost some of its original magic. The fundamental action of making the law of attraction work is that you can’t skip the step of working on yourself and you can’t skip the step of having some discipline or daily practice. Commitment is the tool for getting to know yourself, without this you will not manage to overcome obstacles in your life.
• The challenge and the beauty of quiet are that you can’t look at anything but yourself. Anything that comes up, you cannot distract from the fact that that is you, so you either look at it or you run away. Ultimately, the path of surrender and trusting what comes is not about wanting something, it is about being open to whatever comes.
• Investment in yourself is about thinking what do we really have to give? The only thing we really have is time, and in each moment we need to look and see what we are choosing to invest our attention in. The things that you invest your time in is what you will become. Think about how much time you spent in your day, with yourself.

BEST MOMENTS

“So many times I got caught in the wheels of the business.”

“How you do one thing is how you do everything.”

“The problem with the law of attraction is that everybody thinks it is about what they want. Do you really know what you want? Where did the idea come from that you want a certain thing?”
