So I am super excited that you are with us today. Tyson, welcome to the show.

Tyson Sharpe:
Thank you, thank you. Pleasure to be here, Daniel.

Daniel Aaron:
Fantastic. So I have the distinct advantage over some of our audience right now in that I have had the lucky pleasure of meeting you before. For those who have not, though, would you say a word about how did you get here? How did you get to this point in your life and your work?

Tyson Sharpe:
Ah, that's a big question. Very big question. I mean, like everyone who's building a business, it's a slow evolution, isn't it? It's one of those things that as as you evolve, everything starts to everything starts to shift in how you do business, how you like to serve and how you like to contribute. Um, I really started off my education in psychology. I was always just fascinated with, uh, how the brain works and the, I guess, the psychology of what makes a good life. And so naturally, I just got into my education within psychology and my master's in organizational psychology and business management. Um, but zero clue what I wanted to do and, uh, how the evolution really shifted was I got into personal development, fell in love with the concept, fell in love with the, uh, the art of coaching. And as I started to, um, as I started to teach people, um, all about mindset, you know, psychology, positive psychology, all these different things, um, I started coaching business owners and realizing, oh, if business owners start to really shift their mindset, they can elevate their performance, they can elevate their business. And of course, the the impact they can make on the world. Um, but it really, really happened, uh, a shift for me when I really started, um, realizing how attached I was to outcomes, my business started falling apart. Things started really, um, unraveling in terms of income, clients, all these different things. And I, I was set to really feel within myself and see how attached I was to the opinions of other people, needed to make money to feel safe, all these different core core patterns within me. And that's when I started to interject a really spiritual lens on life. And we'll talk about that shift a little later. But now it's really a matter of now that I have a spiritual lens on life. It's helping people who have a similar view and helping them succeed, um, you know, through their business and not only not only so they can feel fulfilled in what they do, but they can actually achieve the business outcomes that they want, which we're all finding a very, very challenging, aren't we? Especially in the world of online, um, social media and content creation. It's becoming very, very challenging. So my I've just slowly adapted my style of psychology then mindset and coaching to coaching business owners, then spirituality, then helping people with um, with, with their business outcomes in the, in the world of spirituality. And now I'm finding myself growing this incredible group of the serving circle and helping other people do the same.

Daniel Aaron:
That's beautiful. Okay, cool. So you said a couple things I want to dig a little deeper into there. You said a word on this already, but so. So you had some initial success, and then you found yourself focused too much on outcomes, and things started unraveling. Uh, and, and obviously that was like a big learning moment for you. And things change from that. Can can we go a little further into that? Like what? What do you mean when you say to attach to outcomes, what's like if in case people are not really familiar with that terminology, what does that what does that mean for you.

Tyson Sharpe:
Yeah. Well, I was you know, I was doing well initially in the first few years. It took me a while to build up and, and I think in year number 3 or 4, I'm at year number 7 or 8 now. But um. I was making my first 10-K months. I was doing well with online. My my profile was getting a lot of engagement and things were flowing until they weren't they until, uh, until things started really falling apart. Like I said, it all happened at once where income started drying up, clients started drying up in terms of leads, um, even current clients. I had to give refunds through like crazy circumstances all at once, like brain injuries and divorces and all these different things. I'm just like, everything just started falling apart. And what I was left with was all these fears that came up, all these insecurities, um, all the doubts, all the, you know, just all the uncomfortable emotions come up. And I realized in those moments I'm like, hey, as I'm feeling this, I'm like. I am really energetically and emotionally attached to making money, being perceived as a successful coach. And when I say is when I say being attached, I mean that outcome is attached to my internal worthiness, my ability to feel worthy, worthy of love, worthy of attention, worthy of you know, of giving value. It's all tied into this thing called how much money I made this month. You know what I've made this year? How well my social media is doing. Are people responding? You know, and I realized unconsciously I was building my business to try to succeed so I could avoid this feeling. You know, I could I was avoiding I was trying to succeed to avoid these uncomfortable emotions of embarrassment or shame or fear, whatever it may be. And I had the inside. I'm like, all my clients are doing that at some level. They're trying to get this level of success because they don't want to feel the uncomfortable emotions that may come with failure. And so I was I was left to really face that within myself, that I was energetically and emotionally attached to certain outcomes. And I think life being the, you know. The magic that it is. The universe really took away the things that I was emotionally, energetically attached to so I could see who I am without it. And I think that's what everyone I think on the spiritual journey will find as well. Is that anything that you're attached to, life at some level will take it away so you can really see who and what you are without it. Therefore, going on the journey of reclaiming your empowerment from that external outcome or circumstance or relationship.

Daniel Aaron:
Well said. Okay. Thank you. That makes more sense. I appreciate you going deeper with that. And I appreciate your vulnerability with that and honesty. So two things come from that for me. One is. Do you know why the Buddhist monk never vacuum cleaned under his sofa?

Tyson Sharpe:
I don't.

Daniel Aaron:
He had no attachments.

Tyson Sharpe:
Uh, there you go.

Daniel Aaron:
Okay, now getting back on track, though, uh, not to be serious, but to get back to what you're saying, because it's important what you describe. Sounds like it could have been scary and hard, right? I mean, not only are you saying, okay, I'm. I'm seeing for myself that that, um, I'm having these attachments and my identity or my value or my worth is connected to this stuff. Right. And that's, I think, for a lot of people, scary. That's why so many people in the world really don't get into personal or spiritual development, don't look at themselves. They just keep going or, you know, numbing out with whatever their thing is, whatever kind of addiction. But not only did you get that invitation, you also, as it sounds to me like, suddenly had a drop in your income, uh, and the refunds you're describing, which I don't know, but that seems like it could have. Push some buttons about survival and scarcity and fear around taking care of yourself. Was was that part of the picture then?

Tyson Sharpe:
Oh of course, yeah. Of course. And, um, you know, that was the main part. The main fear was like, I need to make money to inherently feel safe. Um, and. The funny thing is, if you have that pattern, if you have that belief or you have that energetic attachment to money where you need to have a certain income to feel inherently safe, then even if you make a lot of money, you're going to you're going to be feeling the fear anyway. The fear is going to be there. Because even if you make a lot of money at some level, you're going to fear that you lose it because you're a safety and your worthiness are attached to this thing outside yourself. And as soon as it's attached to something outside yourself, you have to live. Unconsciously with that fee, whether it comes to the surface or not is irrelevant because it's still running your decisions and actions. And that's what I noticed within myself. I'm like, what decisions and actions am I making? Is it from the avoidance of an emotion, right? Or is it from more of my expansive self? You know, more from my my heart's calling and that's really what I was left with. And. As all these emotions came up around shame and embarrassment and had sadness come up a lot of the time. Um, a big a big shift for me was just letting it be there. I realized instead of building my business and try to succeed to avoid these emotions, I'm actually going to let the emotions be there. And the first time I did a extended meditation that day, it was for six hours just sitting in my chair and just letting all the emotions be there, letting all the emotions just come up, presenting my body. I was crying, it's just like it was just. I'm like, why would I avoid these things? And then I realized that all the emotions are coming up because they're coming out. All the emotions are coming up because they're actually ready to be seen and healed. Therefore, I was in a space of just more and more allowing surrender, you know, just truly welcoming anything that my body and mind wanted me to see.

Tyson Sharpe:
And, um, yeah, after after it started to dissipate, I actually had the insight of, hey, if you if you build a community and you just fall in love with service, just fall in love with the art of being a service, then everything else will take care of itself in perfect divine timing. Even if you mind. It doesn't think so. You know, the income, clients, opportunities, collaborations, friends, whatever. It'll all happen in perfect timing. And that's when I had the, um, the real idea to shift my group to the serving circle. The serving circle was an idea that actually came out of that six hour meditation, and I shifted everything around the group. The, um, you know, the intent, everything behind it. And, um, it's grown ever since. It's grown organically to over 3000 members now. And it's such an engaging, incredible group of people that stemmed from that initial meditation. So there you go.

Daniel Aaron:
Wow. Cool. Thank you. And you know, I for myself, I've worked with meditation for decades and I encourage slash require all of my clients to do the same. And there's so many great benefits to it though. You just beautifully shared one that was incredibly powerful for you. It's like when you when you went into that space, that's what produced for you the insight that as I'm understanding, it has really transformed your life and your business. I'm sure we'll talk more about how that shifted things. Um, but I guess the question then that comes to me is when you were in that. That moment. And it was more than a moment, no doubt. But where things are falling apart and you're realizing that you were attached. Um, how did you how did you know? I mean, did you have this kind of awareness, um, your whole life, like, okay, I might be avoiding something. I need to look at that because, again, that's not what most people would do. Most people, you know, would would struggle harder or, you know, go get a job, find some other way to create the security. Um, it sounds like it was. It took a lot of courage and awareness. How did you do that?

Tyson Sharpe:
Yeah, I mean, I was at the time studying spirituality, and I was studying a lot of, um, you know, different practices. And it just sort of came to me. I was studying, kind of watching a lot of videos of Kyle Cease. If anyone's watched his, his work. Um, you know, it was I was always encouraged watching those, those car seats, videos and personal development to really sit with myself, but I had never really done it. Um, you know, as soon as I sat with myself, I had this this. Just these patterns that many entrepreneurs have. And that's if you sit down and you meditate for an hour. You know, you're being irresponsible. You're not doing your income generating activities. You're letting your clients down. You know, you're not being a real business owner. All these things came up, but as they came up, I just let them be there. As everything that comes up in that, in that space of meditation, just let everything be there and just hold space for it and observe it as you do so. And what encouraged me to continue is that I had this insight that if I have this pattern that says you're being irresponsible or you know you're not okay unless you reply to this email on time, then I'll be replying to that email from the vibration of needing to do it right. Or I'll be working on my business doing income generating activities from the vibration of, you know, hustle. And that's my safety. And I need to do this because that's what everyone else does rather than. Me sitting down, healing and purging the very core wound or the core pattern, and where I'm giving away my power to that thing. And then as I heal that, I reach a new vibration where I'm more the observer of the fear. I'm more the observer of the unconscious, of the uncomfortable feeling. And then I can respond to that email or do my income generating activities with a lot more resourcefulness, because it's not coming from that initial fear or the scarcity or the, you know, avoidance of a particular emotion. And in fact, I feel a lot more. All within myself. I feel a lot more at one with my clients and the people I'm connecting with, and they can really feel my heart and, you know, just the creativity and the insight and the, you know, these high level resources, internal resources.

Tyson Sharpe:
I was using those more. And then everything started elevating. You know, and, um, just those high level ideas started flowing a lot more easily. And now that's what I encourage everyone to do. I started I actually took up the meditation for two hours a day. I did that for years, just sitting in silence for two hours a day with this initial intent of just saying what's within me that needs to be seen. What is my mind fearing most? Where? Where do I judge the world? What am I attached to? Where am I in resistance and what emotions are behind that? And so processing and feeling all of all of those emotions and as they come up and start to process in their own time, there's just a level of oneness and peace that I feel, um, that that's where I want my action and decisions to come from now.

Daniel Aaron:
Beautiful. That's great. And for sure I know I'll put both my hands up. I know that feeling of like, oh, come on now, come on. You don't have time for, you know, yoga and meditation and, you know, you, you got you got emails to take care of and people to respond to. And what about this ad and what about that thing? And and of course, it's something I hear so often from my clients. I pound on the desk and I get so excited and say, you, you know, you gotta have this time to. You don't have to, but this time to create yourself every day. It's the most important thing. Um, yet it is such a challenging thing for so many entrepreneurs. Right. So. How? What else can you say about about how to do that, how to know the the value and the importance of it?

Tyson Sharpe:
Well, we all know, especially if you're listening to a show like this, that, uh, everything. Everything is energy. Everything that everything that stems from, um. Everything that stems from you is because of your energy and your your vibration, right? So why not go all in? On managing your vibration. Anyone who's in the spiritual realm, you know, on their spiritual journey will know that. Um, anyone who's not on the spiritual journey, you want more tangible? Uh. You know, examples of this is that everything stems from your creativity. Hmm. Right. If. If in meditation. You can sit there. The 30 minutes, 60 minutes, whatever. And you can heal a deep a deep wound pattern trauma that you've had in your body. For ten, 20, 30, 40, 50 years, which is often what happens. How is that not the most productive thing in the world? That's what I think. We now have we're now reaching a level of consciousness where that's possible, right? You don't have to go to 30 years of therapy anymore. You sit in silence, you hold space for what's coming through you. You let it come through you. And as you do so, what happens is it starts to leave and you no longer operate from the vibration of that pain, right? And. I think when it comes to business outcomes, you know. You. You simply just have this level of creativity that's so heightened. That you come up with ideas. You come up with ideas and insights. That you you simply couldn't reach. While still operating from the avoidance of that emotion or the, the, you know, byproduct of that, of that pattern that you had, I call it your small self. There's a small self. That is playing out this story of your limited small self. Right that may say who and what I am is my outcomes, for example. Or who am I? I am my worthiness is the opinions of other people or my safety is in my money. You know, these sort of. Things that feel small to you. It keeps you small compared to your expansive self. Your expansive self is the is the side of you who knows that who and what you are is more than your outcomes.

Tyson Sharpe:
You know your safety is your divine safety. Life has your back. Life always. The universe is always going to provide exactly what it needs for you. You know, your expansive self knows that every within, every challenge is deep lessons and deep and deep growth. So you have more to contribute. You know it's your expense. So it just feels expansive to your your soul really. So what this process does, the silent meditation. It's allows you to heal your small story so you no longer operate from that place. And more you operate from the place of your expansion. There's only so much you can do in the world of hustle, of your small story. Right? Like, let's say I needed to make money to feel safe. So I was just consistently going and making money right from the vibration of I need that to feel safe. You're never going to feel okay within yourself, and therefore that's going to channel the level of resourcefulness you can bring. I don't think there's anything more. I don't think there's anything more productive. More effective or efficient than moving from the small story to the expansive story to the expansive truth. And operating from there, it's just it's just night and day for me.

Daniel Aaron:
Yes. Well said. I am 100% with you. I know that from my own experience. I've seen it with with so many clients, and I play Angel's advocate for a moment and ask this. Is it possible for a, say, spiritual entrepreneur using the terminology that you use often? Is it possible for the spiritual entrepreneur to get lost in, or for the pendulum to swing too far into meditation or adjusting their vibration? Right? Like the the movie The Secret kind of popped this image and a lot of people's mind that, oh, all you have to do is visualize. And then the red sports car is going to drive up to your house and you've got it. Um, is it possible for the pendulum to swing too far to the spiritual side, say?

Tyson Sharpe:
The answer is, of course, of course. Uh, action taking is a part of this realm wherein it's a part of, um, who you are. Who you are is both masculine and feminine. We have both masculine and feminine energies, right? We have, um, whatever you whatever you want to call it, you know, um, yin, yin and yang. It's just it is. We have, um, we have both energies within us. What I would say, what I ask all of my community members. Clients. Is to have an internal inquiry of where are you overdeveloped? If you're over developed in the hustle, in the grind, in the action taking, and you don't take time to actually sit. You didn't take time to, you know. Simply go within and create. Then it'll be very challenging to do so. It'll be very hard to sit in silence. But sometimes you're overdeveloped in more of your, you know, feminine creativity and you don't actually take the action. Right. We we want to create. And as you create, it's both sitting down. You know, allowing ideas to mature and to and to manifest and have the internal insights and then take action on those things. The the analogy was given to me by my coach was, if you're looking to create pottery. When you sit down, you know, and you got the little wheel and you got your pottery clay. You know, I've never done it. So I don't know the terminology, but once you got the and you got the when you're sitting down, you put the clay down. As soon as you start, you're starting to imagine what you can create. That's your feminine, right? That's your your flow of the creative juices flowing of just what can I create here? What is something that's possible? What what's my calling to create here? And who can this what can this, you know, how can this, how can this come to fruition and who can it help? And all those different things. As soon as you put your hands on the clay, that's the masculine. As soon as you put your hands on the clay and start creating, taking action to bring your ideas to manifestation through action, that's your masculine.

Tyson Sharpe:
So some people are overdeveloped in their masculine, and they just grab clay and they just don't even think about it. They just start creating and they create something else and they create something else. Right? You're probably not going to create the most incredible things from that place, right? If you're not even sitting down to think about it. However, other people are overdeveloped in their feminine and they're thinking, oh my God, I can create this, and I can create that. And they're thinking of all these different things they can create. That would be amazing. And oh my God, I feel called to this and oh, I could do this. And then they never put their hands on the clay. They never they never creating. Right. So I always have the internal inquiry and also the inquiry for my clients is to say, where are you overdeveloped? Because it will be in your expansion. To. Really condition the thing you've been avoiding. That your all rounded. Because if you're all rounded, whole and healed, you have both resources at your disposal, both the internal inquiry and creation as well as the action taking. And you know more of the masculine making it happen. And they work in harmony. So just that internal inquiry helps.

Daniel Aaron:
That makes good sense. Okay, cool. Well, so then maybe that brings us to back to part of your story. Here you were. Things were falling apart, you realize and maybe given what you just said, maybe in some way you realized your drive toward outcomes was, uh, imbalanced, over developed in the masculine sense. Right. And you were doing, doing, doing. And part of what you realized is that you needed to slow down. You have a six hour meditation. You get the idea of service in a way maybe you never had before. From that is birthed the serving circle. And so then what what changed for you there? And what can you tell us about. Yeah, how your life and business changed and, and and the serving circle.

Tyson Sharpe:
Yeah. Well my my real as soon as I started doing my two hours of meditation a day. Yes, it was to heal a lot of within, but I also just got to sit with a lot of peace, a lot of real oneness and real love and real excitement and real gratitude for the, you know, for the for myself in the world. And, um, you know, it's in that place where you just I get some exciting ideas, you get exciting ideas that you can actually put out there into the world. And, um, a lot of I think the success of the, of the serving circle is because I just, I channel that energy, I channel that enthusiasm to say, how else can I serve this community? How else can I give to, you know, to the members? How else can I add more value? And, you know, what events can I put on? What would be exciting for me, what would be exciting for them and all these different things? And then. As a byproduct, you're going to have more people reaching out. You're going to have more people joining your events. Signing up. You're going to have more people, you know, registering as clients and, and, um, everything happens as a byproduct, I feel from just the, the desire to just to add more value to be creative. Um, you know, my life has always just been driven by that. It's like, how can I really be in a space of of love and creativity? And if I can do that. Um. I need to take my expensive leaps. The leaps that are scary for me. You know, um, whether that's launching something in particular, shifting my message, shifting my marketing. Um, I mean, I moved from Melbourne, where I am, to the top of Australia. Now, I live on a tiny island at the top of Australia. Um, you know, just the expansive, scary leaps that I feel like are very scary to my mind, but very expansive to my heart and my soul. If anyone's doing that, you can't not grow into the version of you you're capable of being. You know, the more you're taking those expansive, scary leaps.

Tyson Sharpe:
Um, it's now I coach full time and, um, you know, I live on a on a. Crazy small island with a lot of rock wallabies and koalas and, um, you know, I've got an apartment that overlooks the ocean and it's just it's it's a beautiful place to be and a beautiful way to live, obviously offers a lot of different challenges because as you take your leaps, the next one's just around the corner and all the internal things you need to face along along that journey. But I just find that process of just feeling to heal, like going in and feeling fully seeing where my heart calls me, where you know what my next leap is. That's going to be scary to my mind, but expansive to my soul. And then just as you take that leap, detach from the outcomes, forget about any attachments, judgments, expectations and just continue that process time and time again. If you do that, I mean, you can't you can't not heal and you can't not expand. That's just that's just what I feel.

Daniel Aaron:
Well. That's beautiful. Well, I really admire and appreciate your courage. And part of what I, what I hear in that is you didn't say it in these words. So see if this resonates and fits. What with what you're saying is that as you grow as a leader, you face fears, you expand, you move into unknown territory that's automatically attractive to others who want to be doing the same. And maybe, you know, they've been held back by fears because that's part of human nature. Yet they see you doing that. And so it gives them the message in some way, hey, it's possible I can do that too. And so they want to come closer or work with you in some way. Is that a fair way of putting it?

Tyson Sharpe:
Yeah. And I think anyone who lives that way knows that people around them respond. Uh, respond that way. Um, people will either look at you and because they don't, because they, you know, know themselves, they can live that way, but they don't. So they may resist and, you know, reject you in some way. Um, but others may just really see that example and say, you know what? That's kind of life I want to live. That's a kind of intention I want to have in my life, one that's one that values more, you know, loving deeply, growing more deeply and contributing more deeply. And, you know, it's a calling to them to take that leap within themselves. I think we. What lights my heart up and what. Really? Um. What really draws me to do what I do. Is because we all have, at some level, that feeling of how we want to live our lives. You know, Ronnie Weir, who was the palliative care nurse who wrote the book The Five Regrets of the dying. She got to interview people at the end of their life. I mean, what a gift to see what sort of lessons we can learn from from people who are literally on their deathbed. And she would ask them, like, what are you regret in life? And what the number one answer, the number one, um, sort of theme, um, was that I'll paraphrase, but it was basically, I wish I had the courage to live the life that I knew I wanted to live. You know, the courage to live the life that I knew I was meant to live, instead of the expectations of other people. Which gives me goosebumps. And the reason being is because we all have in us a. Like an internal guidance system of how we want to live our lives. We all know we all. If we listen close enough, we all know we have this heart calling to live a particular way. It's just, do you have the courage to do that? To love more deeply. To love more unconditionally. To have more compassion. To have more courage. To have more vulnerability. You know, and we all have that there. It's just are you listening to it? Right. If people on their deathbed says it was always there, just that, just that calling to follow my passion or to live this certain way, or maybe not work so much, and maybe just spend more time with family and enjoy the things that matter most to me. Like we all have this calling. Whatever it is, it could be building a business, starting a charity, um, loving your neighbor a bit more, spending more time with your with your pet. I don't know, but we all have this internal feeling, this internal calling. It's just. Are you. Are you really listening to it?

Daniel Aaron:
Beautiful. Nicely said. I love that. Okay. Well, let's let's go a little bit deeper into what seems to be part of your calling, which really has to do with community, at least, you know, from my observation. Uh, you from that critical moment those years ago, you moved into a greater level of service. You started the serving circle as a community, and now it's it's grown and and it seems like it's something that you really pour yourself into. And you've learned a lot about community dynamics. So can you tell us more about what it is and how you've cultivated it?

Tyson Sharpe:
Yeah, well, the serving circle is, um, a collection of. It's really a group of spiritual business owners who all find creative ways to collaborate to help each other grow online. Um, the reason being is because so many people are finding as a business owner, it's very challenging to grow online now, and especially if you're doing content creation, um, as a lead generation strategy, it's very hard to now meet ideal clients and key collaborators because there's just everything's flooded now. Everyone's a content creator. Um, you know, joke around, say, when my if my mum, um, takes a photo of her Sunday lunch and posts it. She's a content creator, you know, that's that's what we're all competing with. So how do you make your way through the noise? How do you pierce that veil and and stand out and make your way through the noise? Um. I think the serving circle is a way that if we all have a mission to heightened consciousness, why not help each other do that? Why not help each other stand out by getting on each other's podcasts, organizing referral partnerships and service exchanges and, you know, joint ventures and run events together and all these different things? Um, because if you have a mission to heighten consciousness, then that's really, um, ultimately what we're all here to do. And so the serving circle is sort of born out of that mission to create that, um, you know, that that level of inspiration within people that says, we can do this together, we can all heightened consciousness and thrive in our businesses by serving and collaborating from a place of love, a place of generosity, where at some level, I am you and you and me and and, you know, rolling this together. And that's really the energy of the fire and the vibration of the serving circle that, um, that, that most people I think that most people want and desire.

Daniel Aaron:
Got it. Okay, well, that that all makes sense, and I appreciate that. You're proposing a proposing. You're advocating a different model than the competitive model of business, which, you know, is propagated in certain ways in the world. Right? Um, uh, it seems like you stand as a model for saying, hey, I want to help you. That doesn't mean I'm going to suffer or there's there going to be there's less of the pie for me or less clients. Right. And I've really seen your generosity in that way. And, um, so on a, on a practical level, because I'm imagining some of the folks that are tuning in here with us either live or by rebroadcast, um, like the idea or maybe even have communities of their own. And I know that's something that you're passionate about. How what what what advice can you offer about how to grow community?

Tyson Sharpe:
Yeah, well, first of all, the Seventh circle's growing organically. Um, I really don't. I really don't even promote it too much. Um, and yet it just it grows organically. People invite their friends. Um, and, you know, it's very engaging. We get thousands of pieces of engagement every, every month, you know, hundreds of posts and. I think if you if you're encouraged, if you feel called to to build a community, there's a few things to think about. Um. And one is obviously the message. You just basically heard my message of the serving circle. And if it aligned with you, no doubt you'd want to you'd want to join. Start means people. And I can introduce you to some people, you know. But why specifically your community? Are people joining? Y y, uh, your Facebook group, your LinkedIn group, your in person community, whatever you're creating, that is a collection of people like why? You need to be very clear on why, specifically your group, your community is, um, you know, is helping people overcome their problems and achieve their outcomes compared to every other group that's out there, you know, every other group that, uh, that says that they can do something similar. So if you can get very clear on your message, then you, you very clearly, uh, head and shoulders above, above everyone else because everyone's got a pretty vague, uh, you know, very intangible, very confusing message. Um, when it comes to their business, when it comes to their community. But if you can be very clear and very clear and compelling around why your group, your community, your tribe is, is so important. And and you know who your ideal, who your ideal members are. Then, like I said, you head and shoulders above everyone else. So that's that's number one is the message of really what? The way in which you can communicate why your group exists.

Daniel Aaron:
That makes good sense, right, people? People have challenges, right? They come to a group for a certain reason. And as much as those are social networks, it seems like people are are looking for something. They're not just necessarily looking for friends. Um, so so cool. Um, and I know. Well, since we're on the topic, you kindly offered a free gift for our audience that's related to that. Um, would you, uh, is that accurate? And would you would you say a word about that?

Tyson Sharpe:
Yeah. I mean, I in in helping people grow communities, I invited the serving circle members to, um, do a group project with me where they have a group, a community, and it's existing but a little bit dead, or they want it to start growing one. Um, I invited the serving circle members, and about 50 or 60 people, um, went through this with me, whereas a group project where we got on five calls and I just showed them how I built the serving circle in terms of how I, what I needed to shift within me to be the leader that, um, you know, that the community needed working on the messaging, working on effective, um, engagement methods and really how to create the the community where it fosters raving fans. You know, there's certain things I've done within the serving circle that's very different from, um, from other people building communities. And I think it's led to more and more success. So that's one the leadership had to evolve into a leadership. You're messaging. So you get your communication right and unique engagement methods so that the engagement type then how to build raving fans. Um, we really got I got on calls and I just basically did that. I showed people how to do it. Um, you know, no pitch. No. You know, I just I just wanted to show them how I was able to do that, um, so they could do it themselves. And, um, I put those videos, I got those videos and put them into a course. Bite size pieces into a course, um, to show everyone how to do that, and I that's the course I'm now giving to people in the serving circle and also people of, of of your community who are listening here. Um, it's called craft your community. And it's, it's it just walks you through how to do it. So you can just you can build your own and see the results yourself.

Daniel Aaron:
Okay, cool. That's amazing. And super, uh, one generous of you to share that and teach people about how to do it. Again, exemplifying the prosperity consciousness, getting away from that competitive scarcity model. Right. And, um, kindly and generously helping other people to do what's been really successful for you. Um, so I want to make sure it's easy for people. Um, do we have on the screen right now? I just put up the, uh, URL for that. Is that is that how people can access it?

Tyson Sharpe:
Yeah, yeah, you just sign up. It's like I said, it's complimentary, and you sign up and everything will be sent to your email so that you can get access and start watching those watching those videos.

Daniel Aaron:
All right. Let me see if I can take that URL and make it super easy for people. And I'll put that in our comments here. This could be beyond my pay grade, but let's see. It's, you know, anything is possible. Let's see. Um, and while I'm doing that, let's see if I got it correct. I think I did. Um, and so for anybody who's listening and not watching, uh, and you might be saying, come on, man, don't give me the video, give me the audio version so that, uh, URL I'm going to say the whole thing and you can, you know, stop and replay it as many times as you need. It's, uh, Tyson t y s o n dash coaching dot my kajabi, which is m y k j a b i.com/offers/2 three capital p small letter y capital V small letter W capital V small letter K. All right. And uh one day we'll get, we'll get a link shortener on that puppy. That'll, that'll save my voice next time. But either way that's awesome that you're doing that and really cool. Um, and you said in the middle of that, uh, Tyson, something you said about unique engagement methods that you have used that's different than what some other people have done. Uh, can you say more about that? What did that mean?

Tyson Sharpe:
Yeah. I mean, unique engagement methods. Uh. So many people. In communities, especially in building their Facebook group, LinkedIn group, whatever they think, hey, I'll just put something together. I'll invite a lot of my friends and community members to join this specific group, and I'll just put content in there and they're going to love it. And it doesn't necessarily work that way because that's what everyone's doing. Um, and so when I say unique engagement methods, you'll see in the course, but what I really break it down to is what can you do that's different, where you're able to not only talk to them. But you open up communication channels where they're able to talk to you. Members are able to talk with each other. And members can talk to nonmembers and in your community, if you open up those communication channels where it's you to them, them to you, then with each other and each other with nonmembers, and that all flows. Then engagement kind of lifts, right? Engagement really starts to lift. I um, to show that this was possible. The seven circles already, um, already engaging, uh, very, very engaging group. But I went on the experiment of lifting engagement in, in, in, um, December and January. Um, a few months ago, I went on I went on an experiment, said, let me go through my methods, I'm going to access my creativity and go through a bit of a process to heighten my, um, engagement methods. And even if it's already engaging, group posts increased by about 62%. The, uh, the comments and reactions elevated by 78 and and and 76%. I've got to I have a screenshot of that, um, to show that this is possible. All all it requires is for you to sit down instead of just putting out content and saying, hey, people, engage my content. Think about how you can engage with them in unique ways. They can engage with you in unique ways. They can engage within each other, within within members, within members and then members to nonmembers. And although that huge flow of communication. Is going to lift your, uh, lift your community, for example. I think I'm like, let's get creative.

Tyson Sharpe:
What's the serving circle all about? What do I really stand for and what it is about relationships? I sat in a meditation about five minutes and I'm like, okay, what can I do within the serving circle to really maintain and facilitate relationships? How can they engage with one another? And we have got we got people all over the world, mostly in the, in North America. Um, so we've got people from Canada, people in the US, um, heavy percentage in Australia, but they're all over the world. And I'm like, okay, what can we do? Let me create a post. It gets people to list their city. And let's start trying to create in-person relationships. Anyone who's in a similar city, go meet them, hang out, hang out. We're all here from a very similar vibration. Let's do that. So I created a post, um, that says, hey, list your city below. Let's see if we can create some in-person connections. And I've never done that before. But because of that creativity about, I think about 470 comments later, we've got a lot of people who are now scrolling through those comments and who are creating in-person connections, and now they're taking photos of them out at lunch and meeting each other. And, you know, it's just really, really funny. I got a story. Someone messaged me about four girls, um, got to meet up, and, uh, they met up for a drink. And as they, uh, as they had a shot at, uh, at the table, they all they all shouted to Tyson Sharp, you know, because. That's great fun ways of doing that. I mean, it is really cool to to just sit down and say. What else can I do? What else can I do within my community that's going to lift the engagement? That's fun. It's creative, spontaneous, you know, passionate, whatever. You'll come up with ideas, but no one's doing that. It's like, hey, what piece of content can I create? Let's see if anyone likes this piece of content. Let's do these quote cards. Let's write this article. Let's do this. Those things are fine. You just want to be more spontaneous and creative with, well, what can I do that no one else is doing?

Tyson Sharpe:
It adds value. The last people to connect that elevates their whatever and you'll get answers and follow that. Follow, follow, follow the ideas that are just different, and the community will see that the energy that you're putting into it.

Daniel Aaron:
Hmm. Beautiful. I mean, one way I hear what you're saying is, is just love people love the community, and from love comes service and that comes, you know, spontaneity and creativity. So beautiful. Okay, well, time is flying along here, Tyson. So is there anything that we haven't talked about or I haven't asked you about that, that I, that I should have.

Tyson Sharpe:
Oh. We've covered a lot here. I mean. I'm really just going to emphasize. You know, this, this, this. This channel is podcast. This show is all about vibrant living, and to be able to live that vibrant life where you're living your best life, I truly believe you have to take those leaps. You have to sit within yourself. This is three real steps. I'll highlight them again one. Feel to heal you have to feel within yourself. Two, you have to follow your heart. So you have to take those scary, expansive leaps. And three is to forget about any attachments, expectations you know to the outcome. The more you just do that. You see life transform. It's like. It's like the it's like a universal energy just takes over. It's not. It's still not easy. Definitely not easy. But, um, it's definitely a life that's more fulfilling. You'll you'll definitely grow. You'll definitely love more deeply. You'll definitely contribute at ways that are fulfilling to you. Um. You can't not. I've just seen this happen time and time again. So that's what I would really emphasize for anyone wanting to take some practical action from this. That's what I that's what I would recommend.

Daniel Aaron:
Beautiful, I love that, yeah. And I think you hit it really beautifully. It's what you described is simple, not necessarily easy, yet it is simple. And that means we can all just keep coming back to those principles and saying, okay, how can I grow into that more today.

Tyson Sharpe:
Mhm.

Daniel Aaron:
All right. Well that I believe brings us up to the final question. The big question. This question is so big it's impossible. Uh can I ask you that question Tyson. You may and I say it's impossible because you've got so much experience and knowledge. Uh, what I'm asking, though, is for you to boil it all down, to distill it. So if you had one thing to offer that would help our people to live a more vibrant, thriving life, what's the one thing you would offer?

Tyson Sharpe:
Look. It summarized everything. It just comes back to universal compassion. And this is one of the concepts that. It's just embedded. In. Any personal development shadow work, spirituality. It's just. Universal compassion is just having more and more unconditional compassion for yourself and others. It just if you do that. And that's that's an intention throughout your day, throughout your life. Everything elevates. You know, you just things just flow through you that are just to be of service and things flow through you where you just love yourself more deeply and, you know, you just you heal. So you just heal in divine timing and you just take those actions based on, um, you're here for a purpose and you're here for a reason. And, um, following that is just night and day between not following that and following that. So summarize everything like live, live a life of of universal compassion and you'll be just fine.

Daniel Aaron:
Yeah. That's beautiful. And, uh, even better than just fine. So, Tyson, no doubt people will want to get more in touch with you. We've talked about the serving circle, which is a place to connect, but how else? What's the best way for people to get in touch with you?
