Hala Taha: Yeah. Bam. Are you ready to manifest your dream life? Are you ready to attract an abundant amount of money into your world? Are you ready to step into your future self? Well lucky for you. Our guest today is Entrepreneurial Trailblazer, Mimi Bouchard, who's the founder of the Top Rated Activations app. She's also the author of the new book, activate Your Future Self. Now, Mimi is the definition of a young and profiting entrepreneur. She's only 28 years old. And she's shaken up the [00:02:00] personal growth space with activations, which is an entirely new type of audio experience designed to help shift your mindset and embody your most powerful self as you move through your day.

Activations is already an extremely popular app. It was formerly known as Superhuman. You might have heard of that. And it's earned fans, including celebrities like Miranda Care, along with tens of thousands of devoted users around the world.

They're not quite podcasts, they're not affirmations, they're something totally new. She also talks about the concept of future self, which I absolutely love and I already use it. As well as biofields, the science behind how to activate your future self, and then also bounce back rate, how we can bounce back from setbacks faster and why that's so important, especially for us entrepreneurs.

Before we dive in, if you're a new listener, make sure you follow and subscribe to this podcast so you never miss Expert Insights like this. Mimi, welcome to Young and Profiting podcast. 

Thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited for this conversation. 

Me too. I love the topic of today's conversation. I feel like everybody needs to learn how to basically step into their full potential and their future self, and I can't wait to dig into all of that.

But first I wanna get a little bit of a glimpse in terms of your career journey, your transformation that you've taken [00:04:00] personally, because you essentially went from blogger to then multimillion dollar founder of the activations app, which is amazing. So you entered the tech and wellness space, you're super accomplished, female founder and entrepreneur.

So I thought we could start from when you were 18 years old and you ended up dropping out of college and then moving to London. talk to us about that experience. Why did you take that leap? 

Mimi Bouchard: So it was over a decade ago at this point that I started this personal development journey.

I was incredibly hungry to create a beautiful life for myself and it came after going through a pretty tough period from the age of 11, 12 to the end of my twenties doing a lot of drugs and had quite an intense eating disorder and just really hated myself quite deeply, more than I think the normal teenage angst phase.

It was quite bad. There was, [00:05:00] you know, a lot of negative things that I'd gone through, and I won't get into the details, but self-harm, bulimia, just at a very low point. I also just had no idea what I wanted in my future and I essentially changed my life after picking up my first personal development book.

it really brought me onto a new path Then my focus after healing myself from some of the other stuff, my focus really turned onto making money because when I grew up, my family didn't have a lot of money. I born into a family of artists and, um, bless them, but it really was tough growing up, remortgaging the house all the time, a lot of difficult conversations about money, how we can just not afford any of this.

And I had a lot of anxiety around money because there was always lack. It was always so much lack. So really, after getting into personal development around that age 18, 19, I, I started reading all these books and it was kind of my saving [00:06:00] grace. I decided to move across the world with. Uh, I think it was about $10,000.

I had saved up from working at a bar one summer and wanted to go very far away, somewhere, English speaking, and we could do working holiday visas as Canadians. So I, I moved away and I just tried to figure out how to make a reality that I desired work and I did a lot of random jobs. I remember working five jobs at once at one point, because I.

I was struggling to find a normal full-time job. I was working at a juice bar from 6:00 AM to noon, and then I would go interning at a styling agency from noon to six on the other side of town, and then I'd come to the other side of town and babysit this Italian family and then do some dog walking on the side to make an extra buck or two.

And then I'd work on my online magazine at night. So there was this big period of just trying to make something work and just trying to find myself as well. And I [00:07:00] spent a lot of time alone at that point and started getting more and more into this self-development work and psychology and reading about how our mind can create our reality and was really quite obsessed.

Earning money because it was something like I mentioned, that I didn't have a lot of, I was visualizing every day I was trying to do everything that these mentors, these authors would tell me to. So meditation was a big one that everyone told me to do and I tried and I couldn't stick to it. And I wanted more.

I wanted more out of an audio that made me feel that I was energized, right? Because all of this work I was doing was to actively try to become a version of myself I hadn't yet become. So I decided just on a whim one day in my early twenties. To record a voice memo to myself and use a lot of these visualization practices and modalities that I was learning about.

[00:08:00] And then I would add inspirational cinematic music as layers on top and garage band by myself. That was kind of the original activation. I started recording so many of these, and when I started listening to these activations in my daily life, I wouldn't listen to them with my eyes closed. I would listen to them while I was cooking dinner.

I would listen to them while I was on the tube in London. I listen while I was working out at the gym. I really felt my future self energy in that moment. And when I look back, if you think about it like a graph, the growth that I experienced in my life from when I started listening to these activations, it was like a bell curve.

It was so quick. I was trying all these different things for years. Then finally, I felt like I had found something that was really working on rewiring my mind. Then years later I launched an app called Activations that offers this to the public and there are over 700 activations now on the app. And yeah, I've [00:09:00] changed my life in every way, shape and form from my body and my health and my self-image to financially a huge amount.

I really went from having under $10 in my bank account at one point when I was in London to now owning a business worth tens of millions of dollars, and I'm not even 30 yet. I feel like this work is the reason I got there, and I'm a big believer in that and beautiful relationships in my life. I really feel like I'm living the dream, so I am excited to share more about how this work changed my life and how maybe someone else can, uh, change theirs with it too.

Hala Taha: Yeah, it's so amazing as you tell your story, I feel like I can relate to it so much. I. I know that you have a new book called Activate Your Future Self, and yesterday I actually talked to Benjamin Hardy live. He's actually been on my show four times, and we always talk about this concept of the future self and everybody has their own version of what future self is.

But in Ben's own words, he says, your future [00:10:00] self is the person you intentionally decide to become. And every decision you make today is either casting a vote for that version or against it. So basically it's your future self that really should define the actions and the things that you need to do today.

However, in order to influence your actions, you need to actually start to rewire your brain to actually feel like your future self and step into your future self. And I know that the work that you're doing with activations really helps support people do that. So first I'd love to understand what is your version or definition of future self?

Mimi Bouchard: So I have a slightly different definition to him. I believe that this future self energy that I promote people to step into is something that you can actually live in this moment. It's not necessarily always going to live in the future. Your future self, for me, is synonymous with your higher self, your best self, your ultimate self, your favorite self.

It is something that you can tap into right now. [00:11:00] So in this moment, I'm actually feeling a hundred percent like my future self. I'm acting like her. I am sitting like her. I'm dressed like her. I feel like I have her mannerisms. I am projecting myself like her, and. There is really this beautiful relationship with that present and future because obviously if we wanna create more abundance in our lives and more success in our lives, we need to act like that version of us that already has those things.

So that is the basis of my work to create your dream life. You must first become your dream self to create that ultimate future self life. You must first become your ultimate future self. So I work a lot in self-image psychology and we talk a lot about identity and our activations really helps you become that identity, create that self-image, and embody and radiate and magnetize your future towards you by [00:12:00] being this future self now.

So a slightly different, I really like to think that my work sits in between. More of the spiritual and woowoo, but also very pragmatic. I'm a pragmatic person myself, and I like to say that a lot of this work is the same thing in different languages. Someone that may be religious could call it prayer. A spiritualist could call it the law of attraction.

An atheist may call it the placebo effect. A scientist may call it quantum physics, or the RAS, the reticular activating system in your brain. But it all comes down to being pretty much the same thing. What you exude energetically and what you pray and hope for, and what you assume is going to happen in your life, it's way more likely to happen if you are in this specific state of being, and you focus on becoming that future self now.

So a lot of the work that I teach, I always wanna bring it back to some sort of science, but I [00:13:00] also leave room for there to be more theory in it. 

Hala Taha: So I assume one of the first steps we have to do is actually think about who we want to be in the future or how we imagine ourselves to be in the future.

So what are some tangible ways that we can do that? 

Mimi Bouchard: Absolutely. And that kind of leads me to my two step process. I always like to say that transformation is actually a lot more simple than everyone likes to say it is. And coming from someone who has seen hundreds of thousands of people use this app and transform, and someone that has transformed her life as well, it's a lot more simple than people like to say it is.

And there's two steps to it. The first step is clarity, and the second step is becoming, become very clear, crystal clear on who that future self vision of your life is. That future self, you, who is she? How does she dress? How does she move? What does she have? What kind of life does she live? And then once you have that clarity, you must become her in everyday moment.

So bringing it to the first part of this equation, [00:14:00] clarity. The most important question you could ask yourself is, how does it feel energetically to be my future self? How does it feel in my body? Just as you're sitting here right now, as you're listening to this podcast, whatever you're doing, just notice how your body is feeling.

And we have biofields around our body, three to five meters around us. We have these biofields, energetic biofields. These have been measured by scientists, and our energy is created by our thoughts, our beliefs, and our self-image. So our energy literally will create our life. If we have clarity on how that future self feels, and we embody the energy of that future self version of us, we are going to become a magnet to those things that we desire.

So the first step is clarity, and I believe that. The most important thing is to really understand that future self frequency is what I call it, and that is the energy, how it feels inside and around your [00:15:00] body, how it feels to be your ideal future self. Okay? So once you get clarity on that, then you can move on to the next step.

But some other ways to figure that out that are a bit more tangible Writing is an incredible tool that has firstly changed my life so much, and it is so good when you are needing clarity to just take out a journal and write, because you putting pen to paper and focusing on one thought at a time is magic when it comes to putting all of your thoughts on paper and getting clarity from the jumbled craziness in our minds.

And I like to think that. Just free writing is very effective, but you could also find prompts online. We also have a whole writing category on activations that are guided journaling with the cinematic music that is very on brand for us, so you can literally do it yourself, or if you want more guidance, there are so many resources online.

But essentially you want to figure out clarity on [00:16:00] the five pillars of your future self, and that is physical, financial, social. Spiritual, if you could get clarity on what your future life is in those five categories, and then at the end figure out how it feels to live in that body, then you are so, so much closer.

You're 50% of the way there. And then the second part of the equation is just becoming that version of you in everyday moments, acting as if you are already your future self, while you're grocery shopping, while you're walking the dog in these everyday moments and habit stacking. This practice is the ultimate hack of all I think.

Hala Taha: I wanna dig a little deeper on all of this. So you mentioned that we need to feel like we're going to be in our future state, right? And a lot of that is energy. And I know that part of the Activations app is that you've got these different frequencies when it comes to the music that are on all these different activations.

So [00:17:00] can you talk to us about what that does to us energetically and how you decide what type of music to include on the different activations? 

Mimi Bouchard: we have quite an intense process when it comes to choosing the music and activations, and I think for a lot of people listening, they still might be thinking to themselves, what the heck is activation?

So I'll give a bit of a background. Activations is a new form of audio, just like how you would listen to a podcast or you'd listen to an audiobook, or simply music or a meditation. And activation is also a new form of audio that you can listen to. In everyday moments, it's essentially a motivational pep talk that you listen to while you do other things.

So it's really good for habit stacking. So when it comes to the actual music inside of it, we use some of the top composers all over the world to create these cinematic, beautiful movie moment experiences For our listeners, and this has always been very important to me personally, because when you think about how your energy [00:18:00] creates your life, what affects your energy, when you're listening to a certain song like that bridge of that song that really makes you feel a certain way, how can you bottle up that feeling of transformation, excitement, growth, and inject it into an audio that also has layers of visualization, of affirmations, of all these different types of mental reprogramming tools.

That combination is pretty magical. And then in some of our activations, like you mentioned, we do have our audio engineers, we layer in different frequency levels as well. And emotions have frequencies to them. I write about this in my book, Dr. David Hawkins. He found that shame vibrates at a 20 hertz frequency while love and joy vibrate at like a 500 hertz frequency.

So really, audio and emotion have such a beautiful tie, but one of the things I'm proudest of when it comes to activations and all of the intense years that I've put into building this beautiful product, and I am [00:19:00] so obsessed with the audio component of it because this is where we change lives. You can throw away everything else.

This is the most important part, is the actual audio. And I have been a perfectionist when it comes to this. I have looked far and wide for the best audio engineers, the best composers to put together these tracks and to work with me very closely on designing each track. We have over 700 activations on the app, and every single one was a labor of love.

So. Really the cinematic component. I want our audience to feel, I want our listener to feel like they are literally at this cusp, this crossroads, and they're about to choose the path that makes them transform and they get so excited. I. About what's to come. They see their future ahead of them. It's this very emotional, beautiful, invigorating feeling, listening to very cinematic moving music with this visualization guidance as well.

So I love how you asked [00:20:00] about that. I'm such a nerd when it comes to the audio side of things, because it's literally why I started all of this. And you asked before about my journey as a business owner. I've done things very differently from the beginning. I launched this product without ever thinking about anything but the product.

And a lot of companies will focus on the marketing and trying to find the product market fit and doing things kind of the more typical way. All I did was obsess over the audios and everything started falling into place from there. And. We haven't ever raised money with the business and all of our growth has really been word of mouth.

And it's because the product itself is so good. And a lot of these companies you'll see, they send so much into marketing and then you get the product and it's not as good as you were hoping from all the marketing. But I feel like with ours, it's the opposite. We're trying to figure out the marketing piece, but the product is so strong.

So I really feel that is because of the obsession I've put behind the actual audio component. 

Hala Taha: [00:21:00] I've personally been using activations in the app and I love it so much. So I'm a person who has never been able to meditate. Now I've had this show I. For seven years, I've interviewed people like Deepak Chopra and I have people like Deepak Chopra talking to me personally and I still can't get into meditation.

I believe I have undiagnosed A DHD. I can't sit still. 

Mimi Bouchard: I'm so you, we are the same human. 

Hala Taha: Yeah. I just could never get into it. And I always say after these conversations, I'm gonna do it and then I never do it. However, as soon as I got the activations app. It enabled me to basically change my energy, shift my biofield, like you were saying, while cleaning, while cooking, while taking a walk.

And that's the way that I like to shift my energy. I like to be doing something sort of mindless, working out, cooking, cleaning, and then listening to something that's gonna be shifting my energy. And it's notlike a regular podcast or something where you just, you learn, you feel good.

It's somebody directly speaking to you and [00:22:00] shifting your energy. It is super intentional. And anything that you feel like you need, you can just search and find. For example, if I feel like I want mine to be like a focus about love, I'm single right now. So like finding the right partner, attracting the right partner, or I want this to be more about like something's wrong with my business.

I want this to be more about attracting money. And you can decide. What kind of energy shifts you wanna take? So I've really been enjoying it and for all you guys that wanna try it, you can go to activations.com/profiting. So I highly encourage you guys. Check that out. 

Mimi Bouchard: Just as an FYI. For everyone listening, if you want to just try the app out for two weeks free on that specific link that Hala just mentioned, activations.com/profiting.

There is a very special deal for you, but it's important to only go to the link on like Safari or on your internet because the app store doesn't actually allow discounts. So we aren't able to offer discounts on the app store, but if you go to that specific link, you can get a two [00:23:00] week free trial and an insane discount off of your year lease subscription.

We never offer discounts this big, but we thought for your audience we would here, and we also offer a money back guarantee, so it's very risk free to try. You do not need to commit if you don't like it. We don't want you to commit if you don't like it, but just give it a shot. And two weeks is enough time for you to start seeing a tangible difference in your life.

And guess what? If you don't wanna commit to it and subscribe, then you can try doing these practices in other ways. You don't need to buy the app to take advantage of this work. You can listen to voice memos on your phone. You could record your own voice memos and you can try to layer in inspirational music on garage band yourself and kind of do a homemade version like I originally did before I ever had the app when I first started.

So I just wanna be clear like this work is available to everyone. The app just is, uh, cheat code to get there faster or to get the content at your fingertips, but you can also do it yourself and see results. 

Hala Taha: I'll tell a really personal story. [00:24:00] The other weekend, for the first time in my life, I got stood up on a date. Oh, okay. I had somebody talking to me for a month and a half. FaceTiming talking, whatever. He was supposed to come, whatever. And then he just totally stood me up and I've never had that happen before and it was so confusing, so devastating. I just was like, you know what? I'm gonna try some activations in the morning.

And I listened to activations all morning while I was cleaning and I felt so much better. I went out to work out And I was listening to stuff like attracting the right love, having the right energy that night. I went on the best date that I went on in years.

Somebody totally different that I met that day. 

Mimi Bouchard: That happened for a reason. that guy stood you up because maybe you were meant to meet this other person. 

Hala Taha: I know. And now he's like basically my boyfriend already. 

Mimi Bouchard: What? That's amazing. 

Hala Taha: I know, and I swear to God, had I not listened to different activations the morning, I listened to like [00:25:00] five different ones in a row.

They're like 10, 15 minutes. And I was just cleaning and doing errands, trying to just like shift my energy. I would've never been in the right state of mind. I would've never attracted that person because my aura would've not been the same. My aura that night being stood up the night before for somebody I was talking to for a month and a half, but instead, I was bubbly, happy, just myself.

Mimi Bouchard: I'm so happy to hear that Hala. Honestly, that's the exact perfect situation where you wanna use this, and I've heard of so many stories that are similar because activations, they make you feel different. That's it. They make you feel like the best version of yourself. And what would the best version of Hala do in that situation?

Sit and mope around that this stupid guy lost the best thing that could have ever happened to him or no, you know, have a amazing opportunity and see it as the burnt toast theory. You know how it says this thing bad happens, maybe it's because something better was actually on its way. And we have so many of like the relationship manifest [00:26:00] love and we have a lot of manifest money type of ones.

But the love category also gets so much traction because we wanna find love women all around the world. We definitely wanna find the right person for us. So it's, it's definitely a beautiful thing to call in. 

Hala Taha: So aside from people who are looking for love like me, who else should be using the activations app?

Mimi Bouchard: So a lot of people that benefit a huge amount from the app are in quite transitional times in their life, whether that's, they feel like they've been at the same job for a really long time, they're ready to make a big shift. The app and activations really help you take that next step. It's when you've been feeling like some limiting beliefs or holding you back like, it could never happen to me, or I'll be happy when all of those limiting beliefs basically get poofed away when you do this work consistently.

So it's amazing for people that are in transitional times, whether you're starting a new job, whether you're trying to conceive, or whether in you're in a new relationship. You wanna create a new relationship, whether you want to create [00:27:00] your own entrepreneurial venture. Whether you've started your business and it's not going as well as you wanted it to, and you want that extra boost, you wanna become the version of yourself that can create more abundance in their life, and it really helps people that really wanna take that next level.

If you've already done a lot of this personal development work, you've tried some other apps, you've done the journaling, this is something very new that might really trigger something new inside of you to see more change. Because this personal development market is saturated. It is. Everyone is trying to throw something new at you to try.

But why don't you just simplify it is my question. It is a lot more simple than you think. If you simply. Get crystal clear on who your future self is on how it feels to be them energetically in the moment, how they act, what their identity is like, and then you become them in everyday moments. And activations is a tool to get there.

You are going to [00:28:00] see results and there's no doubt in my mind about it because when you start acting as if you are already your future self, all these crazy things start to happen. So the first thing that happens. Is the classical conditioning piece. So we've all heard of the Pavlov's dog theory. Pavlov rings the bell, the dog salivates, even if there's no food, because the action of ringing the bell has actually created the neural response in that dog's mind to salivate to have a physical sensation and physical thing happen.

So the same thing happens when you listen to, let's say, the activation walk into your future every afternoon when you're walking your dog. If you're listening to that activation, you are not even going to need that activation after a few weeks to feel empowered. Unlimited, abundant magnetic. Okay? The same thing with when you're getting ready in the morning.

I like to listen to activations when I'm putting my makeup on or I'm doing my hair in the morning just to listen [00:29:00] to in the background. When you do that, soon enough, you're going to be looking at yourself in the mirror while you're getting ready and feeling so much confidence and love and just bliss towards this life and yourself.

So the classical conditioning piece is amazing because it's essentially hacking the system. You really start to pair new thoughts with these everyday actions. The point of activations is to do it in the mundane everyday moments. This makes it so easy to do. It makes the mundane exciting. And it also habit stacks your practice.

And the second very interesting piece to all of this is the reticular activating system. So we all have the reticular activating system in our minds. It's basically like a filtration system that all of our brains have. Some people call it the RAS, and when you are flooding your brain with new beliefs, when you are flooding your brain with new energy, with new possibility, with new potential, even if you're listening to an activation in [00:30:00] the background, not even consciously thinking about what it's saying and how it's making you feel, just playing it in the background.

When you do that, your RAS starts to change. You'll start to filter new information through your mind that you may not have already seen before that always existed. A really easy example that you may have already heard of is the whole red car example. You know, thinking of buying a red car, you start seeing it everywhere.

It's not because it's being manufactured more, it is simply because your RAS is now programmed to notice it. So the same thing happens if you keep telling yourself that you're a victim. That it will never happen for you because of X, Y, and Z. Whatever stories you wanna tell yourself, if that is what's going through your mind on repeat every day, you're going to find reasons why that is your truth.

You're going to see your neighbor from down the road become successful and you're gonna say, oh, see it happened to them, but not me, because it's not me. It never happens to me. Or, you're gonna start seeing that person reject you and think it's [00:31:00] all because you're the victim. But no, the reality is that you are the creator of your life, and it's your mind that sees these things and reaffirms those things.

So the same thing goes, if you wanna tell yourself that I'm 100% responsible for my life, you're gonna start seeing possibilities, opportunities, reasons why that is true everywhere. And that belief itself, it's one of the first things I talk about in my book, activate Your Future Self. You are 100% responsible for your life.

That's an empowering belief because if you don't believe that to be true, then how could you do what is necessary to create your dream life? It is empowering. It is a harsh reality, but if we can just embody that and feel the excitement that that belief holds, we are ready to create a new life for ourselves and you only live once, why not make this one shot at life?

You have the one that you desire. This is not a dress [00:32:00] rehearsal. This is our one life, and time is moving. Time is passing. It's time to live our best lives right now. 

Hala Taha: So inspiring and it reminds me of a conversation I had recently with Donald Miller, who's the creator of StoryBrand, and we were talking about how you have the power to basically rewrite your own life story and with future self, it's an opportunity to just write a version of you. That you desire to become. But oftentimes we have a lot of insecurities regarding our desires. We often feel like our desires are unrealistic or we could never actually achieve them, and it prevents us from actually writing this story down and then acting as if. So talk to us about how we can get past these limiting beliefs that our dreams are too big or unrealistic.

Mimi Bouchard: Well, it's just understanding the truth, because the truth is that there have been thousands of people before you that have achieved what you wanted from being at a worst place than you are right now. That's it. It's the truth. You can find truth [00:33:00] everywhere. You can find people that have been in completely worse situations than you, worse connections, worse social ability that have created the dream career that you've always wanted.

And I think a lot of us like to live in the comfort of not believing we can because it's scary to put ourselves out there. The truth is, if you are ready to put in that work and to try and put yourself out there in that period before people start applauding and noticing you, then you are going to be successful at some point in your life.

And if you keep doing this work and resetting and reevaluating and looking around and trying to notice where you could improve, it is going to work. That is the fact. That is the fact. So when people have these limiting beliefs, and I just hosted a seven day workshop last week. I got back last night and I was around 20 women that all had similar limiting beliefs that we've all had at some point.

[00:34:00] Whether that's the, I'll be happy when, whether that's the very prevalent, it can't happen to me. That one a lot of people feel can't happen to me. Why not? It's happened to that guy. You know it's happened to that girl. Why wouldn't it happen to you? That belief is simply the only thing holding you back.

Whatever you believe is the truth and everything will point in that direction. Whatever you believe is the truth. Read the book, the Biology of Belief by Dawson Church. It is crazy how our thoughts literally create and mold the reality around us. We can decide. So those limiting beliefs, we all have them.

Okay? Everyone you know is born and goes through life and develops these limiting beliefs, but you can crush them. They are very easy to change. You just have to look at them in the face and rewrite that story for yourself 

Hala Taha: and also for your business. A lot of my listeners are entrepreneurs that tune in.

and something that you [00:35:00] talk about, your energy hygiene, right? And so we have to have really clean. Good energy. I'd love for you to stick on the science a bit, and I'd love for you to talk about biofields.

Mimi Bouchard: So every living thing emits a measurable energy field, and scientists have actually measured the biofield around our body. It is from three to five, six feet around us, and it is. Us that is the source of the energy, our thoughts, our beliefs. That is the source. It creates energy, it creates the effect around us.

And our energy fields can literally act like a magnet to what it is that we are exuding, right? So that is the importance of exuding an energy that matches the vibration of what you desire, like attracts, like. You've seen all these scientific tests that you have a particle over there and a particle over here, and they will be attracted towards each other if they have a like frequency, A like energy.

But they will be [00:36:00] repelled if they do not. So you are like an antenna, you know, like you are sending out radio signals to what you desire based on the energy that you. Admitting. It's pretty incredible when you wanna talk about money here, because money is something that's actually been the easiest thing for me to quote manifest.

I don't know if I, I don't love using that word manifest. I use it, but I feel like it devalues the power of what I'm trying to say sometimes. 

Hala Taha: And that's scientific. There's actually proof that there's signs behind this. 

Mimi Bouchard: Yeah. Yeah. It's all very, very proven. And if you don't believe it, just try it yourself.

Anyone listening, just try it. Why wouldn't you just try it? Just try this work for like a month and you'll see what happens. There's no doubt in my mind. So. When it comes to money, it's something that I've actually, because it was something I was so obsessed with for so long, I specialized in it. You know, in my early years I really wanted success and money and, and it was something that I felt like I really needed to feel grounded and stable.

Now, obviously I have a lot of other interests and [00:37:00] goals in my life, but that was kind of the first thing. That's why I got into the work. I didn't wanna be broke anymore. I wanted to be able to afford things I wanted to afford. I wanted to be able to live a beautiful life and own two properties, you know, and live a lifestyle that I now live.

So really, this work was the catalyst for me when it comes to creating wealth, and this is even way before I ever created the Activations app, I started making money and I would see the months that I would really commit to doing this visualization work, to listening to activations that I'd create for myself.

And I saw the months that I didn't and the months that I did were just insane. And the months that I didn't were just so average. So I specifically remember moments of that. I remember 5, 6, 7 years ago when I made my first 10 K month and I was doing this work so intensely and I was really showing up as that future self.

And it became quite effortless for me to take the right actions, to say the right things, to put myself in the right [00:38:00] places. And then I remember. Around five years ago, my first a hundred thousand dollars month. And that was crazy to me. 'cause you know, we all have ceilings, we all have these set points with our identity, with what we can expect for ourselves.

And at that time, a hundred thousand dollars month was absolutely insane to me and I achieved it. And then I did the work over and over and over again and. It's crazy what can multiply from it. And just recently we had close to our first million dollar month, and that was again the same thing. And then your set point has to stay at a certain level, just like our identity or else we're gonna get familiar with being a bit lower.

And then we have to do the inner work to bring our set point higher to match and maintain that new income. So I would absolutely tell everyone here that. You a need to really understand the truth that you can create whatever financial abundance you desire. It is a fact. That's the first fact that you can create anything you want.

Especially in this digital age. We are living in a time of possibility. There are more [00:39:00] opportunities around us than ever. Okay, so you a need to believe it's possible. 'cause it is, gosh, this life shouldn't have happened to me. This work is the only reason why it happened to me. And I'm telling you, at 28 years old, it's kind of insane the life experience I've had, and I've deeply committed to this work for a decade now.

And I know there is no other explanation for it. If you just commit to this work for a short period of time, you're gonna see, and I don't know if you read about this in my book, HAA, but I have a few examples of some people that have tried activations that have really seen financial success from it.

There is this one girl, Allie. I. Allie is a middle school teacher and she was trying to create more abundance in her life and she had a very stable income. It was quite low for a middle school teacher. Of course, teachers do not get paid enough, but she really wanted more abundance. She wanted to be able to afford certain things.

She didn't wanna feel guilty anymore getting her Starbucks. I remember I interviewed her for this book, so she started listening to [00:40:00] activation. She heard me on a podcast a few years ago, and she decided to give our two week free trial a try. And yeah, she started feeling really different. So she maintained her subscription and she just started listening to these activations, whether it was driving to work or while getting ready for bed at night, and she would always listen to the abundance focused ones.

And out of nowhere, just a few weeks later, an old student call her and ask to do some collaboration, project consulting work or something like that for him. She ended up making double her salary because of that, and that was so out of left field out of nowhere and. It's just crazy to see how these opportunities become magnetized towards you and, and she now is such a believer in the work.

She does this all the time and it really has changed her life in many other ways. So that's just one really cool story because I like to share it. It's someone that has had one very consistent, stable job and [00:41:00] that sees something come out of nowhere from this work. When it comes to the abundant side, we have amazing activations on the apps.

I'm very passionate about this money topic. There is a category on the app called targeted visualizations, and that's like money visualization to the max. So there is a manifest money category and we have every single type of level from manifest $1,000 all the way to manifest a hundred million dollars.

We have every tier in between and those activations. I've seen so many testimonials come in from those. So if anyone is thinking of downloading the app and taking advantage of your activations.com/profiting discount code, try that category first. 

Hala Taha: There's so many things that I loved about what you just said that were really were interesting that I've never really thought about before.

The first one is that a lot of the people listening are like really high achievers. For example, my company is hitting 10 million in revenue this year, and so [00:42:00] to your point, I probably need to. Go do the inner work and increase my benchmark in terms of what is successful to me. Because five years ago, 10 million, I would've never even expected it.

So I've achieved quite a lot. And so now I need to put the goalposts a little bit further so I can stretch myself and that requires me rewriting my story. And the other thing that's really interesting is that there's these five buckets, right? So you might be really good at manifesting money if you're an entrepreneur and you've naturally been an entrepreneur like many of my listeners.

But you might not be so great at the social or at the relationships, or maybe the physical is a problem for you that you need to rewire your brain. So I just love that no matter what your hurdle is, you can kind of use activations to improve the future self of a certain aspect of your life, even. 

Mimi Bouchard: Just the trick is play it like a game.

Keep it fun. This work is fun. This work is simple and it's fun. You know, it's absolutely [00:43:00] incredible that your business is hitting 10 million in revenue. Like that is so amazing, honestly. Good for you. Well done. That is such a huge milestone. So why don't you play it like a game to see how high that ceiling can go, and it's like, oh, get very comfortable with the feeling of 20, 30 million.

Just get very comfortable with the energy of that amount. A lot of people think, oh my gosh, that is. An insane, absurd amount of money I'll never see in my lifetime. Yes, it is a huge amount of money, but imagine if you could just tune into that frequency and just get familiar with it. Play it like a game.

See what happens. Get very familiar with the feeling of having what you want, and this work is supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be simple. You're gonna be living your life anyways. Why not just live it with an undertone of excitement and assumption that what you want is on its way and reminding yourself in everyday moments of how it feels to be your future self, because that's the combo.

Hala Taha: let's say I wanna feel like an [00:44:00] entrepreneur who makes $30 million a year. 

Mimi Bouchard: Yeah. 

Hala Taha: What does that actually mean, and how would it show up in everyday scenarios? 

Mimi Bouchard: I love to answer this when it comes to the question of how do I feel?

Like I have a million dollars in the bank. If I don't have a million dollars in the bank and I'm kind of broke and I actually can't afford to fill my car with gas. That really scares people sometimes this work, if they're really wanting to create more abundance in their life and they really feel that disconnect.

So I have an amazing hack that everyone can use when it comes to feeling like that wealth is already theirs before it happens. So think about it very simply. What if I told you that you won the lottery? Okay, you won the lottery tomorrow for the listeners. Maybe you won a million dollars. Maybe you won $10 million.

Maybe it was a hundred million, maybe it was 500 million. Okay? Whatever number that you wanting to align with energetically here. So imagine that you won the lottery. You called in, they're like, oh my gosh. Congratulations. You won the lottery. Come in, do this paperwork, give us [00:45:00] your bank details. And then they say the money is going to land in your account in seven to 14 business days.

This kind of stuff takes time. You know, it's, it's not like they can do it immediately. They have to go through processes and all that jazz, so you know the money is on its way in the next seven to 14 business days. How are you going to feel? How are you going to act? What is your energy going to be like in those seven to 14 business days?

You're not gonna wake up feeling lack. Are you kidding me? You're gonna feel so excited for your future. You already know it's yours. It's just in transit. There is no doubt in your mind that anything that's gonna happen to it, you sign the paperwork, you were told this is a fact, this is yours. It's on its way.

So that feeling, if you can bottle it up and embody it. That is what you need to remember. And in that seven to 14 day period, you're gonna start thinking, okay, what am I gonna do with this money? [00:46:00] How much of it am I gonna invest? How much am I gonna give to my mom and dad and give to charity? Or how much am I going to spend on my dream home?

How much am I going to spend when I take my sister shopping? How much you're gonna start to really plan what you're gonna do with it. And that makes it feel even more real, even more yours. So if you do this and you just stay in this vibration, this frequency of it already being yours, you don't feel like you need to overspend.

'cause you've already felt the fulfillment of it being yours and it's on its way, and you're gonna be able to handle the spending piece when it comes into your account, but you're already feeling that energy of abundance. So that is my best hack when it comes to feeling abundance before it happens. 

Hala Taha: I love that. I feel like that's such a helpful tip now. It's inevitable that things are gonna go wrong throughout our day. I'll give you a great example of something that happened to me last week. I bought a brand new pink Porsche to celebrate all the success that I've been having, and it's a ruby star hot pink [00:47:00] Porsche Cayman.

So cute, two-seater and I got it last month. And I also put down an offer on a new creator house and studios for our network. I have a podcast network and so I was on my way to meet up the interior designer and start planning the new house, and I'm driving and somebody rear ends the back of my brand new car.

I didn't even have a license plate on it yet. I had no fault. I was in such a great mood. I was talking to my mom on the phone, didn't do anything wrong, and somebody crashed into the person behind me who then crashed into me. Now I bounced back pretty quickly. I didn't get out of the car and I didn't say like, F you, blah, blah, blah.

I was just like, let's call the police. Let's go to police report. This sucks. But I didn't freak out and I was actually really proud of myself that I was like, damn, old Hollow would've been so upset that her brand new pink car with no fault of her own got hit. But I just handled it and I was like, you know, I'm happy that it wasn't that bad and I'll get it fixed, and I'm so blessed [00:48:00] and I bounced back pretty quickly from it, partially probably because I've been listening to a lot of activations and so my energy has been really good.

 So talk to us about, the bounce back rate, what that means and why it's important to ensure that you're able to shift your energy back when bad things inevitably happen. 

Mimi Bouchard: Yes.And by the way, I'm sorry about that car accident. At least you're healthy and safe and, okay, so there are three parts in my book. We have clarity as part one. We have becoming as part two. And I spoke about that two step formula. And then part three is maintaining. And this entire maintaining part is all about the bounce back rate.

Because maintaining this newfound inspiration motivation, high vibe energy that you've cultivated is literally the most important thing you know. It doesn't even matter that you've done this work if you don't maintain it. 'cause it's just gonna be a blip of time in your life that you felt good. You need to learn how to maintain it.

So as a [00:49:00] type A recovering perfectionist female, I. Hustler entrepreneur. I feel like a lot of our listeners might be in the same boat here. This is something that I had to learn and it really, really shifted how quickly I saw success come my way, and also just how happier and more chill I lived as in my day-to-day life.

The bounce back rate is essentially the rate at which you bounce back from being fallen off track to being your future self once again. So a lot of us think that we have to be perfect, and we feel that if we are not perfect, we need to wait for a Monday or a first of the month or a January 1st to bounce back and to finally start over.

And this time will be different, right? We've all felt that way, but it does so much more harm than good. And this is actually probably the thing that is holding you back the most because there has never been one successful, beautiful, happy. Fit, abundant person that has ever had one quote perfect day, the most [00:50:00] beautiful supermodels with everything that you could ever imagine.

All of the people that you look at in these glossy magazines, I can tell you with full certainty that not one of them have ever had one perfect day. That have woken up at 5:00 AM perfectly and didn't procrastinate at all, didn't mindless scroll at all, had only positive thoughts all a day, ate organic and perfectly intermittent, fasted, and went to bed after journaling and doing a perfect routine.

Like no, we can try our best to get as much of that done as possible. But not one human has ever had one perfect day where they've done it all perfectly in a 24 hour period. And that is because we are human, and that is because perfection does not exist. So what are we aiming for? If it's not perfection, we're aiming for a quick bounce back rate.

The difference between an average person and a successful person is how quick their bounce back rate is. I remember when I first started my journey. My pounds back rate was like months. I remember trying to, I was wanting [00:51:00] to tone up a bit and get into the body of my dreams. I was 30 pounds heavier than I am now.

This was back in the day, and I really struggled with eating habits, especially after disordered eating earlier in my life. So I was really trying to live my best life, to have my happiest, healthiest body that I felt really good in while also maintaining a positive relationship with myself. And I remember.

There were times where I would eat one cookie and that one cookie turned into binging the entire box, and that entire box turned into ordering, takeout, and then binging, binging and feeling like crap about myself. And the next day I felt awful. And then I'd wait months until I actually got back into a healthy routine.

And the same thing would happen with procrastinating or mindless scrolling. I'd get into these holes and I didn't realize that I was in this analysis paralysis, trying to be so perfect and trying to wait for the most opportune moment to start again, as humans have this pension for clean slates, and what we don't realize is that [00:52:00] that pension is holding us back.

So what you wanna do instead is what all of the actual successful happy people do is that half the cookie, don't obsess over it. Connect with yourself. If having more than one is not aligned with your goals, then maybe you stop. And if you have two, because maybe you had a moment of wanting to indulge more, that's okay too.

But the moment you realize that maybe what you're doing is not aligned with your best self, you take a moment, you pause and you choose to bounce back. So that's what the bounce back rate is all about. And one thing that came to mind when you were sharing your story on the Porsche is that your response was 50% of the outcome.

So the great Jack Canfield, I learned this from him, E plus R equals O the event, plus the response equals the outcome, right? It's not the event equals the outcome. Your [00:53:00] response is 50% of the equation, right? So we can't control everything that happens to us in our lives. We can't, but we can control our response to it.

Hala Taha: I feel like this bounce back rate concept is so powerful for entrepreneurs 'cause it's our energy that shifts the energy of the entire organization. So if something goes wrong in the business, you can't be running around like you've got your head on fire because your whole organization is gonna feel stressed out.

And so for entrepreneurs especially, I feel like it's so important to always think, okay, I have a quick to believe you're a person who has a quick bounce back rate. And then you've got the tools to do that. Like listening to an activation, like somebody pissed you off, one of your employees didn't do their job.

Why don't you go listen to a 10 minute activation That's gonna help elevate your mood so you can come back and be a better leader. 

Mimi Bouchard: I really am so happy that you've tried the app and you've seen the results from it. Can you tell me like, do you have a favorite one? How do you use the app?

A lot of people will just use new content all the time, but I'm the kind of person that [00:54:00] listens to the same too on repeat until I hate them and then I move to the next one. 

Hala Taha: I like listening to So Lucky Girl Energy. Yeah, the Lucky Girl Energy Effort. It's the favorite one that I listen to all the time, so I listen to that almost every day.

And then I like to listen to general cleaning ones. Today when I was just preparing for this podcast, even I was listening to like one about calm focus, so it just all depends on what I'm doing. I really, really like to listen to it when I'm cleaning, 'cause again, I have a DHD and it's just like what a positive thing to do while I have to do those chores anyway.

And usually I would just listen to music, but this is Music plus Reshifting my subconscious mind, and so I love using it for that. 

Mimi Bouchard: Amazing. Yeah, I feel likewhen I'm on a walk I wanna listen to a podcast or when I'm just in the mood for something more educational.

And then I also have a certain mood for just listening to music when I don't want any words in my mind. But then there's that mood for an activation where you're [00:55:00] like, I just want like a pick me up. You know? I just wanna feel good. Like I wanna feel like I'm the main character when I have that craving. It's definitely activation time. 

Hala Taha: And to your point, when I'm working out, I wanna listen to music, but something like cleaning or walking or driving, I love to listen to the activations now. So kind of a place for everything. Okay. So a couple more questions as we close out this interview. The first one is, I know that environment is really important to make sure that all these sort of energy shifts and identity shifts really can take place. 'cause sometimes your environment can hold you back no matter what kind of internal shifts that you're taking. So can you talk to us about that? 

Mimi Bouchard: Absolutely. If you have a messy room and you're trying to feel clarity. It ain't gonna happen. Our physical world is a manifestation of our inner world in every sense of the word.

So if you are looking for clarity, try to clean. And some of our cleaning activations that are focused on clarity are amazing because of that. It's like a [00:56:00] double whammy. But yes, your environment is everything. Try to live in a way that your future self lives, you know, if she keeps her environment tidy.

And she goes the extra mile to wipe down surfaces after cooking dinner or something. Just do that. It feels good. My biggest hack is also dressing like your future self. I loved to do this in my journey. I used to wear things that weren't really aligned with my future self. My style has evolved and changed over the years.

I've realized the more I've connected with my future self, I feel I wear just a little bit more feminine type of clothing. Everyone's different, but for me personally, and I think in the past I'd wear like ripped jeans and band t-shirts from when I was in high school and I was trying to look like a entrepreneur and, and someone that owns a business and I wanted to be portrayed in a certain way and also feel like my future self.

So I started to just dress like her before I had that successful business and before I had what I wanted and. It really, really helped. I really loved [00:57:00] the results from that. So dressing like your future self is another big hack other than your environment being a great hack as well. And oh, one environment tip as well that you guys can just take right after this episode is I used to write these post-it notes to myself just as reminders because all of this work is simple, but the hard part is reminding yourself every day.

That's why activations are good to have habit stacking. That's why it's good to journal every day just to remind yourself of who you wanna be. So one of the things I was doing earlier in my journey, now, I truly feel like I'm living my future self most of the day. But what I used to do is I'd get these Post-its and I would put them on my water bottle or on the back of my phone case, or I'd even put reminders in my calendar and it would say these three words be her now.

That is all it said. I put these post-it notes everywhere on my bathroom mirror. Be her now. Every time I open my laptop. Be her [00:58:00] now. And that's it. It's just like Nike is, just do it. Be that version of you now be her now. Be him now. And really when you remind yourself, it's that easy tune into it. That's why we have activations for like when you're in line at the grocery store, that is literally the best type of way to use it.

Just listen to it in the background of your life. Remind yourself to be that version of you now. 

Hala Taha: So good. I feel like Jordan Harbinger told me a hack one time in terms of trying to shift your identity that you might wanna think of something like, be here now every time you walk through a door. 

Mimi Bouchard: Yes.

Hala Taha: So if you can train yourself to know, every time you walk through a door you like, put your shoulders back and kind of think of, be here now, like you're walking to the next room or whatever. That that's a good hack to get yourself and remind yourself to kinda be your best, confident self. 

 So I know perfectionism can hold us back, especially entrepreneur types. We like to be perfect. Sometimes we kind of hesitate to take action before it's [00:59:00] perfect. Can you talk to us about the importance of taking messy action?

Mimi Bouchard: Well, my strategy honestly has always been throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks. I've been lucky that I haven't had to deal with a lot of perfectionism in the sense of stalling. I'm a recovering perfectionist, as I like to say, but I used to do it with things I get obsessed about, like my audio on the app.

and I do have high standards for a lot of things like that. But when it comes to being in that freeze state, you just need to remember that you freezing is actually causing harm. A lot of us feel like if we don't do anything, we're like, okay, we're safe. We're in the safe comfort zone.

But what you are not choosing is also a choice. And that is something we all need to remember. What you are not doing is also a choice. So that is what I would say to the people that get stuck with that freeze. So my strategy as an entrepreneur has always been, like I mentioned, throw [01:00:00] spaghetti at the wall.

See what sticks. Try everything. Put yourself out there. I had cultivated a deep belief within myself by my mid twenties that anything that I was going to do was going to see success. And even if that wasn't the truth a hundred percent of the time, I had that mentality going into things that had so much confidence.

I had so much confidence and hope and energy towards what I desired. And I think that helped a lot. 

Hala Taha: So I know you've been doing activations. You've had this app for a while, and for anybody who wants to try it again, guys, it's activations.com/profiting. You can get the two week free trial. How do you see activations the app evolving in the future?

You know, we've got AI and all these different things. 

Mimi Bouchard: I definitely have a lot of ideas, and I have quite a few advisors that I speak to about how we can integrate AI into the app in different ways, but again, as being one of those perfectionists with the product itself, I wouldn't want to integrate anything unless it was [01:01:00] so, so aligned with that brand.

So there's opportunity everywhere. I also think the benefit of AI is that you don't have to hire as many people. I like a lean team. I don't want dozens of people on my team. I'm just, I don't wanna manage that many people. I also think that personally as a business owner, the more people that you have, the less things get done in a way is the generalization.

I want to hire a very, very strong team, but I think a lot of my team already, they utilize AI in great ways to get things done faster, to review work, and it's been pretty incredible. So a lot kind of on the horizon there. I don't wanna promise anything before it happens, but we're living in an age of opportunity, like I was saying earlier.

It's really just an exciting time that we're all living in and anyone that can really capitalize on this boom was going to be definitely reaping the benefits in the years. 

Hala Taha: When we were talking earlier about journaling and [01:02:00] scripting out our own story about our future self myself, if I was to do that, I'd probably do it in chat GBT, and I'd probably have it go back and forth with me until I got extreme clarity on those five buckets, and I would use that as a tool to help me define my future self.

So I recommend everybody do that. Yeah, that's so good. Okay, so we end our show with two questions that we ask all of our guests. The first one is, what is one actionable thing our young and profits can do today to become more profitable tomorrow? 

Mimi Bouchard: I would say. Close your eyes and just connect with your energy and just feel what it feels like to have that amount of money that you desire in your bank account.

The first step is just knowing what it feels like and getting familiar with that feeling and feeling like it is possible for you. So that's my very baseline tip that you can do anywhere you are. Just take a moment, connect with your body, connect with the energy that you are radiating off of. You [01:03:00] connect with your physical body and feel what it feels like to have that number that you desire in your bank account right now.

Hala Taha: And what would you say your secret to profiting in life is? And this can go beyond business, 

Mimi Bouchard: romanticizing it all, and being obsessed with feeling good because I have had this obsession with feeling good for a long time, and it has created a beautiful life. For myself and having just a deep knowing that everything is happening exactly as it should in perfect divine timing, and having that faith that I am creating my future with exuding the energy I desire for that future.

Hala Taha: Mimi, you are the definition of young and profiting. I have to say, you are like a perfect example of a young and profiting entrepreneur. You have totally attracted this life for yourself and you're helping others do it. So thank you so much for all the work that you're doing and putting out there. [01:04:00] Where can everybody learn more about you and everything that you do?

Mimi Bouchard: Thank you so much, hella and right back at you, sis. Look at us. We're you two young women making it happen? Oh yeah. If you guys wanna read my book, I just released a book a couple months ago with Hay House. It's called Activate Your Future Self. You can find it on Amazon or anywhere you buy books. And if you wanna take advantage of Howe's humongous discount that we are offering for her listeners on the Activations app, make sure to go to the website to claim it.

You cannot claim it on the App store. They do not offer discounts on Apple. So just go to activations.com/profiting and take advantage of this amazing offer. You can also get your money back, money back guarantee risk free if you forget to cancel. But I'm really excited for you to try it. 'cause two weeks is a sweet spot to start seeing a difference.

So really, and my Instagram is just at Mimi Bouchard. Other than that, that's where you can find me 

Hala Taha: amazing. We'll stick all those links in the show notes, guys to make it super easy for you. [01:05:00] Mimi, it was such a pleasure to talk to you today. 

Mimi Bouchard: Thank you so much. It was lovely meeting you. 

Hala Taha: Anders, what an amazing conversation with Mimi Bouchard. One of my biggest takeaways from this episode was learning how activations can completely transform the way that we show up. Activations are not meditations. They're powerful, cinematic audio experiences designed to reprogram your mindset in real time.

Whether you're walking, getting ready for the day or doing chores like I love to do when I'm listening to activations. Mimi has created a brand new category of functional audio that helps you feel more energized, empowered, and aligned with your future self. I. If you've been waiting for a sign to finally become the happiest, healthiest, and wealthiest version of you, this is it.

Whether you wanna manifest your goals or improve your confidence, upgrade your money mindset, or just feel more alive in your daily routine, you can join the hundreds of thousands of users who have shifted their energy with activations. Yeah, bam. You can try it now with a special [01:06:00] limited time discount by going to activations.com/profiting.

So if you want easy access, just head over to the show notes. But again, that's activations.com/profiting. It will not work in the app store, and then the discount for two weeks free, totally risk free will be applied automatically at checkout. 

Now our conversation with Mimi was incredible. I feel so inspired, and the insight that truly resonated with me was Mimi's concept of future self. She reminded us that your future self is not a distant goal. It's who you choose to be right now. Your future self is your best, most powerful version, and to create the life that you want.

You must first embody that identity today. As Mimi said, your self image and how you act, think and feel, that's what creates your life. It's that level of clarity that shapes every decision, every habit, and every opportunity that you attract. Mimi also walked us through her simple but transformative two step formula for activating your future self clarity and becoming.

First, you gotta get crystal clear on who you [01:07:00] want to be, mentally, financially, socially, physically, emotionally. You've gotta write up your story of your future self, who you want to be, and then you start becoming that version of you now embody the energy, the habits, the mindset of your future self and your everyday life.

That's how your transformation will become inevitable. And of course, we can't forget the bounce back rate, especially for US entrepreneurs. It is so important for us to manage our energy and for us to have healthy energy hygiene because it is our energy that transforms our organizations. Your ability to quickly recover from setbacks is what is gonna set you apart.

Growth is not about avoiding failure. As entrepreneurs, we're always having failures, but it's about bouncing back better and faster.
