Did you know that this January is not

0:03

the first month of 2024 ? Actually

0:05

, the last month of 2023 . Yeah

0:07

, mind-blowing , right ? I know I love

0:09

to do these things . I love to make you smile . My

0:12

point in sharing is there's a lot we got to

0:14

do this month . There's information you have to

0:16

have as we prepare for a brand

0:18

new period of time . So

0:20

much is occurring on February

0:22

4th and February 10th , so this

0:24

is your preparation time . The

0:27

world , the world is still

0:29

in turmoil , right ? There's still so much going on

0:31

, and I know it's coming at you from all sides , but

0:33

there are simple things you can do that

0:35

will put you in a great position . So

0:38

stay with me , peeps , because I got it all

0:40

here for you . I just

0:42

want to give people a place to go to

0:44

get information . I want

0:46

them to enjoy learning

0:48

about Qi and how it's easy to learn

0:50

about it and affect change in your own

0:52

life . So QiPro is

0:54

here for the curious seekers and

0:57

for the professionals looking to get ahead . So

0:59

, about mind ? I want to empower people with

1:01

information , because the

1:03

one thing that can't be taken from you is your knowledge

1:05

. So here we go , looking

1:07

at the month of January . See , the global

1:10

community is still in turmoil and

1:12

it's really hard to know what to do , but we've got to have

1:14

navigational tools that get us through , and

1:16

that's what I'm going to do today is talk about things

1:18

you can do that will help you thrive this month

1:20

. So what exactly are

1:22

you preparing for ? Is there another season of

1:24

Game of Thrones coming ? But now it's going to be . Spring

1:27

is coming . No , you

1:29

know me , I love to jest and have fun with these things

1:31

, and while spring is coming , thank

1:33

God , winter is going . It's

1:36

not here yet . We're not quite there . We have

1:38

work to do before spring arrives . So

1:40

let's stick to the here . And now You're going to see me jump

1:43

around a bit . I'm going to talk about January and

1:45

I'm going to give you hints for the year , because

1:47

this is , oh my God , it's such a

1:49

preparation time you got to follow

1:51

these things that I'm going to lay out today , because

1:53

it's going to make everything different for you On

1:55

January 6th , which is I'm recording

1:57

this today January 6th . It's something called

2:00

Yi Chou . Yi is Yi in wood Chou

2:03

is ox . So what we have

2:05

in this month is a lot of inward

2:07

motion . So we're thinking , we're observing

2:10

and we're waiting . The

2:12

ox kind of makes us wait . The

2:14

wood wants to push us forward , but

2:17

I need you to lean on the ox , I need

2:19

you to wait , please , I

2:21

ask you to enjoy this moment . I encourage

2:24

you to enjoy this moment , as we're very

2:26

much still in the in-between I spoke

2:28

to last month . Your feet

2:30

are not firmly on the floor

2:33

yet and this is not meant

2:35

to be rushed through . I have a great

2:37

friend who always reminds me whenever I get , I find

2:39

myself overwhelmed and I'm like , oh my God , but this

2:41

just isn't working and I can't do this and I can't do that . He'll

2:44

always calmly say , yet add

2:46

yet to the end of your sentence

2:48

. Sam , you're just not achieving XYZ

2:51

yet . You haven't finished XYZ

2:54

yet , and that's what I want to pass

2:56

on to you today . Things

2:58

aren't quite happening the way you want them to yet

3:01

, but once February lands

3:03

, you're going to feel it big time

3:05

and you'd better be ready to step forward

3:08

then . So why

3:10

am I getting you to pause this January

3:12

? Why is it so important

3:15

to pause this January ? Well

3:18

, dare I say , because I said so . I

3:21

know , I know , sorry , I can't resist these things . I mean

3:23

, I'm God , I sit alone in an office here . You've

3:25

got to give me some outlet . But

3:27

there's more to it than that . I

3:29

know you want more out of cheeky Sam than these little one-liners

3:31

, but you know me , I stand behind what I

3:34

say . February is the first

3:36

month of 2024 and

3:39

the first year out of

3:41

a unique 20-year period of time . Now , I've been

3:43

touching on this for a while now , so this should be nothing

3:45

new to you , but if you're hearing it for the first time

3:47

, trust me , this is big

3:49

. So taking time to observe

3:52

where you are and to consider

3:54

your options and align your thoughts now

3:56

is the best action you can take

3:58

for your future . I get

4:00

that you're chomping at the bit . You've probably

4:02

made a New Year's resolution . You're probably thinking oh you

4:04

know , but I'm going to do this . I said I would do this January

4:07

1st . I said I'm

4:09

going to do this with my company . I'm going to do this

4:11

with my relationship . I'm going

4:13

to achieve XYZ . Well , you're not yet

4:15

. It can happen , in fact . 2024

4:18

. In many ways is going to be

4:20

brilliant , but it's not going to be

4:22

easy , and if you're not prepared , you're

4:25

oh my god . It's just . It's going to be

4:27

so much harder for you . If you rush into

4:29

February unprepared , you'll be

4:31

chasing the dragon of 2024

4:33

all year long and he

4:35

will remain firmly out of your

4:37

reach . Okay , don't do

4:40

this . Don't put the cart before

4:42

the horse . You need to do this in the right

4:44

alignment . So , first

4:46

of all , before I keep getting into February , let's

4:49

go back to January . So there's going to

4:51

be a lot of emotions come up this month . You're going to

4:53

feel unsure , unconfident

4:56

, fed up . I

4:58

know not exactly inspiring words and

5:01

, trust me , I do try . I do try . So

5:03

how about we flip them around ? As where

5:05

there's a will , there is most certainly a way

5:07

. And you know me , when I come across

5:10

things or come up against things that aren't so positive

5:12

, I am going to pull the silver

5:15

lining . One one friend sort

5:17

of accuses me of being a polyanna and always making

5:19

something really good . You know what I

5:21

actually do see the negative and I am aware of

5:23

the negative , but what's the point

5:26

in staying there ? Okay , when you've identified

5:28

something that's not so great , well , for god's sake , move on

5:30

for it . You can't probably change it

5:32

, but you can work with it and make it a positive

5:34

outcome . So , with that

5:36

in mind , with my first

5:38

word unsure .

5:40

Cross out the UN at the beginning unconfident

5:43

. Cross out the UN at the beginning . Fed

5:46

up , cross out the fed at

5:48

the beginning . You get the gist . Are you picking up

5:50

what I'm putting down here ? I sure hope

5:52

so , because otherwise I'm just talking to myself , and

5:54

while I do like the sound of my own voice , there is

5:57

a purpose in my chapter . You

5:59

see , we've hit bottom , okay . We've got

6:01

world wars , we've got economy downturns , we've

6:03

got unpredictable interest rates , we've got groceries

6:06

literally starving us , you name it . We're

6:08

feeling it , but you

6:11

have control over how you feel

6:13

. Okay , and the good thing about hitting bottom

6:15

is there's nowhere to go but

6:17

up . My last word right

6:20

take the fed out of fed up , and we've

6:22

got up . Focus there

6:24

, please . Focus on being

6:26

sure , not unsure , being

6:28

confident , not unconfident , and

6:31

looking up , not being fed up . It's

6:33

an easy thing and it's a bit of a mindset and I'm

6:36

a big believer in actions , not just thinking

6:38

about things . But I've come to realize that where

6:41

everything starts is in our mind

6:43

. So I really want you to take this and

6:45

put it in your mind and run with it . So

6:47

how do you use January to

6:50

turn your life around , to be ready ? Well , it's

6:52

very simple actually . You be

6:54

still quiet

6:57

open . You

7:00

simply be . Don't give me that look

7:02

. I can see you raising your eyebrows

7:04

or you know eyebrows or probably chuckling I think . Oh

7:06

, here she goes , with a bloody being still and being

7:08

quiet stuff again . I know you're probably questioning

7:10

my credentials right now . Hear me now . Trust

7:13

me later I would not say this if it wasn't

7:15

important . You cannot turn

7:18

the world around right now . You have

7:20

to wait for the month to clear and then

7:23

leap into action in February

7:25

. Use January to find

7:27

yourself , ask yourself big questions

7:30

, and I mean big questions

7:32

. Are you where you want

7:34

to be , pursuing your passion

7:36

with the person you want to be with

7:38

? Are you happy ? Oh

7:41

, that last one's a doozy , isn't it ? To

7:44

move forward into 2024's Dragon

7:46

as it steps forward into position . You

7:48

have to know where you want

7:50

to go . Okay , I

7:53

want you to look at this . I

7:55

will expand in the new year talk , but February

7:58

is going to be like Dragon's Den 2024

8:00

. So in 2024

8:02

, it's like entering the realm of the actual famous

8:05

Dragon's Den on TV . Okay , and it's time

8:07

to prepare your pitch now . Being

8:09

still this month will allow you to

8:12

unearth and clearly hear

8:14

your inner voice that's screaming

8:16

at you to make better moves in 2024

8:18

. If your pitch to the Dragon's

8:21

Den is not ready , your voice

8:23

will be lost amidst other voices that

8:25

clamor for the Dragon's attention . They

8:27

will win over you . You

8:29

will be left behind , right , I'm

8:32

not going to sugarcoat this , I really am not , because

8:34

you need to know this . We're

8:36

entering and , yeah , I'm being a bit cheeky

8:38

with my Dragon's Den because I love to use analogies

8:41

Technically for my colleagues out there

8:43

. You know what I'm referring to , but

8:45

what I want you to hear , what I want you to remember

8:47

, is something you can visualize . You are

8:49

going to stand in front

8:51

of the Dragon's Den and if you

8:53

don't have your pitch ready , if you're like , well

8:55

, you know , I was thinking

8:58

that . You know I could start

9:00

a business , but I don't know if it should be this , or

9:02

I don't know if it should be that , or you know

9:04

I could actually do this . The Dragons are just going

9:06

to look at you and say thanks , that was

9:08

a great pitch . But I'm out and actually they're lying

9:10

. It wasn't a great pitch . You ummed and awed

9:12

and you didn't know what your bloody well wanted . So

9:14

get ready to say I want

9:16

my career to be this

9:18

, I want my relationships

9:20

to be this I want whatever

9:23

it is that you want . Okay , this

9:25

is your time to name it , and I want

9:27

you to focus . Okay , you can't

9:29

just say , well , I want a million dollars and I want

9:32

a new car and I want a relationship , no , no

9:34

, no , the Dragons are just going to look at you and say , yeah

9:36

, done , moving on to the next pitch

9:39

. I want you to focus and

9:41

streamline your pitch and be clear

9:43

with what it is you want , because if you ask

9:45

, you will be given the opportunity

9:48

to fulfill your needs . So

9:50

when I said you'll be left behind , I'm not messing

9:53

. If you want me to tell you it's all fairy cakes

9:55

, castles and magical dragons about to fly

9:57

in , you're listening to the wrong

9:59

person . Let me tell you go find another podcast

10:01

. Clearly , you would be new to me

10:03

because you know . I say it how it is , because

10:05

I want to give you the goods . So

10:08

get your picture ready so you can ask for

10:10

what you want , as the dragon will

10:12

take up the challenge and

10:14

help you go where you want to go . Now . Remember

10:16

this is January , so it's all about pulling

10:19

out of yourself first . What

10:21

has been buried for far too long

10:23

. What do you want to do no

10:26

more hesitation , my friend . This is your prep

10:28

time so you can scale 2024

10:30

like nothing the world has ever seen . Don't

10:33

waste this preparation time

10:35

, okay ? Well , I feel like I've lectured

10:37

you enough for a minute . I

10:39

want to move into some fungshaw and astrology , because those

10:41

are key things that people are always asking . So , if

10:44

you're not sure , go back and listen to what I just

10:46

said again , because it's the most important part

10:48

out of this podcast . Yes , I love what I'm

10:50

just about to talk about , but what I've said

10:52

to this point is the crux of

10:54

it . Okay , can't say that enough . All

10:57

right , so how do you max the fungshaw

10:59

in January ? Well , first of all , you have

11:01

to remember that fungshaw is the art and science of

11:03

how a space will affect you . It's the energetic

11:05

Wi-Fi we tap into for greatness and

11:08

sometimes inadvertently tap into

11:10

for problems . The key

11:12

is understanding the monthly Wi-Fi so

11:14

you can make stronger and more purposeful moves

11:16

. So let's get straight to it . So

11:19

beneficial areas in January to use

11:21

more . So this this means simply look

11:23

at your apartment , your house , your office

11:25

, whatever , wherever you are , and you know , because I don't

11:27

know it . So you're there , work out where

11:29

northeast , southwest is , all those kind of things

11:31

and then listen up to two good areas

11:34

to use more are . The west is

11:36

first . This is a great area

11:38

for fame , recognition , reputation

11:40

building . It's all here . So

11:42

use the heck out of your west area for

11:45

phone calls , meetings and to ignite potentials

11:47

. You can actually just sit

11:49

in the west and think things through and write things

11:52

down . You can still tap into that Wi-Fi

11:54

, but it's all about building your brand

11:56

, building your reputation . The next

11:58

good area is the south . So if

12:00

you're incubating a great idea for a new

12:03

venture , one that has financial future

12:05

leads , this is the area to actively

12:07

use . So we could say this the west

12:09

and the south , they're similar but

12:11

they're not the but they're

12:14

different . They're . They're similar but they're different , because the west

12:16

is all about reputation

12:18

and branding and the south is about igniting

12:21

your idea . So slightly different , but both

12:23

good to use . Well , if

12:25

we've got good , we've got to have the not so good . So

12:28

what would be two problematic feng

12:30

shui areas in January ? Well

12:32

, the southeast is the first

12:34

one I'm going to identify . It's pretty

12:37

negative for communication , so no

12:39

major conversations here , okay . They could

12:41

easily turn argumentative and

12:43

this is not where you're going to make phone calls from if

12:46

you're going to pitch a new idea or you're connecting

12:48

with someone for business , because it's just not going to

12:50

go well . It's going to be a challenging conversation

12:52

. The other area is the northwest

12:54

. This is gossip . Did

12:57

I mention gossip ? I should mention gossip

12:59

. So again , it's it's around

13:01

communication , but it's it's different . This

13:03

one is negative , backstabbing back

13:05

chat . So be realistic

13:08

with the words you use if you're using the northwest

13:10

area , because someone's probably going to quote

13:12

you negatively and get you into

13:14

a bit of trouble , get you in a bit of hot water and

13:16

probably push your boundaries . So just

13:18

be aware of these two areas . They both kind of have a

13:20

communication theme and it's not

13:23

in a good way . Now I know that

13:25

you may not be able to use an area or or

13:27

not use an area , so you're just going to , you're

13:29

going to roll with this as best you can , and maybe

13:31

you can't use it at home , but maybe at work

13:33

you can . Okay , simply get out your phone

13:36

, compass whatever , work out where these areas

13:38

are and tap into the wi-fi . It's

13:40

there . You can't see it , but

13:42

it's there , all right . Let's move into

13:44

horoscopes . So if you don't know your astrology

13:47

chart , go to QiProSam

13:49

. com and you're going to see the calculators work

13:51

out your chart . Take a picture of it . Come back

13:53

to me . Here we go . Do you have

13:56

a goat in your chart ? Well

13:59

, I don't know where to

14:01

start here . I have a goat in my chart . I'm just

14:03

going to put my hand up right now because I'm not happy

14:05

about this . Um , january is always

14:07

my toughest month . Always , it's always when

14:09

I get sick , and I've just been sick already as we

14:11

entered the month so technically

14:13

known as a clash . This , could

14:15

you know , just means change for most people

14:18

, but for me , it where it is in my chart . It

14:20

affects my health . So it's always a

14:22

month I go down . So , but for most

14:24

of you , I'm going to say there's

14:26

change . So what do you want to change ? Well

14:28

, here you go . Let me put this in real time . So , when

14:31

I went down with this cold flu , whatever

14:33

it was , I realized

14:35

, okay , my sleep could be better . Were

14:37

my vitamins on track ? No , I was missing a couple

14:40

of key things . Was my water intake

14:42

enough ? Probably not . So I'm

14:44

able to look at that and change a few things about my

14:46

habits , about what I'm doing . That will make

14:48

me stronger . So I want you to do the same

14:50

, because I'm born day of the goat , so that's

14:52

why I attach to my health . So

14:55

this is you set yourself up better

14:57

this month and establish some healthy habits

14:59

. Now , if it's in the month , the year

15:01

or the hour , it's going to be a little bit different . There will be changes

15:04

in your career , at work and sometimes

15:06

with your investments . All depends on where it is Now

15:09

. Do you have a horse in your chart ? Well

15:11

, I got a laugh here because I'm now two

15:14

for two . I have a horse in my chart too

15:16

. So , like I said

15:18

, january is my least favorite month of the whole

15:20

year . This

15:22

means it's kind of things are coming at you from all sides

15:24

a little bit . It's something called

15:26

a harm , which does sound

15:28

bad , I know , I know , but if I can live with it

15:30

, you can too . A harm isn't always

15:33

badly , but you just got to be aware

15:35

of your surroundings . Okay , slow down and

15:37

observe what is occurring around

15:39

you and for you and you will spot what

15:42

the harm is , because it's going to be different for everyone

15:44

. So a harm could just be that you

15:47

get upset with some friends or they get

15:49

upset with you and you feel a little bit sad . It

15:51

can be where it is in my chart . Again

15:53

, it affects my health . So I knew

15:55

no surprise when I got sick I was like , oh

15:57

, bloody hell , a clash in a harm . We know what's happening

16:00

here , so don't

16:02

be afraid of it , but do be aware we are

16:04

. You know , if you're in the wintery hemisphere

16:06

, like me , just be aware of when you're traveling

16:08

and I snow , all those things , all right

16:10

. Moving on , do you have a dog in your chart ? This

16:14

one's interesting . You may feel backed into a corner

16:16

, but are you ? No

16:18

, seriously , are you ? I highly

16:20

doubt that you are . It's simply the perception

16:23

that's out there , and it could be your

16:26

perception . So I need you to step back

16:28

and have a look at what's really occurring

16:31

. Use January to observe

16:33

your world and you will see you

16:36

have way more options than you first thought

16:38

. So I really need you to carry this

16:40

with you . If you've got a dog in your birth chart , really

16:43

carry this with you . In a sense

16:45

, it's more important than the two I've just said , because

16:48

it's all your perception . And if you

16:50

, well , let's think about it . If you feel backed into a

16:52

corner , what often happens was

16:54

one of two things you go down

16:56

because you're like you crumple like you just

16:58

fall apart , or you come out fighting

17:00

because , damn it , you're not going to be backed into a corner

17:03

. Neither one of those outcomes is good , right

17:05

. So know this , know this

17:07

, know this , and don't react

17:09

in either one of those ways . I've warned you

17:11

, I've given you the heads up . Come out of this

17:13

a different way . Calmly , step out of the corner

17:16

and into the light and think

17:18

right , what am I not viewing

17:20

properly ? Let me look at this again . Alright

17:23

, moving on , because we've got two more to talk about . Oh

17:26

god , I can't believe I

17:28

wrote this . Do you have a dragon in

17:30

your birth chart ? And that's me

17:32

. Three for three . Oh god , I

17:35

think I'm just gonna go home now . This

17:37

one's a bit of a doozy because we're January

17:40

month but we're heading into dragon year . So this

17:42

is a little bit of a heads up

17:44

of what's coming your , your way and my way , because

17:46

I've got a dragon . This one is

17:48

about bad habits , which

17:51

is kind of in line with the Gregorian

17:53

New Year's resolution , right ? Everyone's saying , oh , I'm

17:55

gonna get fitter , I'm gonna get thinner , I'm gonna

17:57

eat vegan , I'm gonna do this , I'm gonna do that

17:59

and all the stuff . But yeah

18:02

, I don't really believe in New Year's resolutions that much

18:04

, and I also believe in February , not so much

18:06

January 1st , but maybe work

18:09

on some areas that need your attention , as it

18:11

is time to ensure you create

18:13

better habits this month . Okay , you

18:16

may . You may then find you've moved something out

18:18

of the way while you do this , and

18:20

what you're gonna see is what you uncover

18:22

as you do this and maybe recalculate some

18:24

of your habits is you actually

18:27

could have been the problem . You're the

18:29

reason you're not doing something . Now I'm

18:31

gonna put my hand up fully because I like to give you

18:33

examples . I am trying to adopt

18:35

a more vegan diet . I've

18:37

been wanting to do it for years . I'm primarily vegetarian

18:40

anyway , but I'm telling you , some

18:42

of those habits are hard to take . I tried the non-dairy

18:44

creamer today and I'm like I just ruined

18:46

my morning coffee . So I'm gonna back

18:48

off and I'm gonna approach things one at a time , okay

18:51

, and just build on them slowly . I'm not

18:53

gonna do a clean slate , wipe the floor

18:55

, empty my kitchen , because that

18:58

is gonna backfire , especially with me . So

19:00

, whatever it is you're working on , can

19:02

I say give yourself some grace and

19:04

give yourself small , attainable

19:06

steps . You don't have to do this in one

19:08

fell swoop . Okay , last one

19:11

up rat . Do you have a rat in your birth chart

19:13

? Well , your favorite

19:15

this month , you are the favorite one . It's

19:17

all smiles and hugs for you . I wish , and I

19:19

know I do not have a rat in my chart

19:21

. So

19:24

this is all . This is something called a combination

19:26

, and it just means that you will find

19:28

that you connect with people easily , people

19:31

that you need for something . Your networking

19:33

skills are gonna be up there . You're

19:35

just gonna bump into people that are useful connections

19:37

that carry through the years . So it's a very it's

19:40

a very good combination for you

19:42

and I like that and , yes , I wish I had a rat

19:44

in my chart . By the way

19:46

, what I will say is , when I highlight

19:48

a positive , like the one with the rat just now , if

19:51

you don't have that in your birth chart , like me , it

19:53

doesn't mean you can't make connections . It just

19:55

means you're gonna have to instigate how they

19:57

occur . You're gonna have to work at it , whereas

19:59

for the rat , it's actually gonna come to them . Okay

20:02

, so always know that everything is within

20:04

your grasp if you

20:06

choose it to be , so choose

20:08

it now . As I close

20:10

out this podcast , what are my final thoughts

20:12

on how you can succeed this January

20:14

. Well , use

20:17

this time wisely . I've given you

20:19

the big picture of what's about to occur in 2024

20:21

. Well , I shouldn't say that . I've

20:24

given you some hints about Dragon's Den , and

20:26

more is coming in February , when I reveal

20:28

everything . So that starts next

20:30

month . So find your foundation now

20:33

right . Get your Dragon's

20:35

Den pitch ready now . You

20:37

won't get a second shot in February

20:40

, so don't muck this up . You

20:42

always have a choice in how your month will play

20:44

out . It's always within your control , so don't

20:46

give me that line . You had no choice , or ? Oh

20:48

, sam , you know it was bad astrology

20:50

. I had three animals , just like you did . So everything

20:53

was bad . No , you have

20:55

choice . I know what's coming at me this

20:57

month . Yeah , I got sick , but I turned

20:59

it around and I will watch for it all month

21:01

because I know that's gonna be my Achilles heel

21:03

. I want you to choose to be

21:05

still and you will find

21:07

your assurances , you

21:09

will find your confidence and

21:11

you'll see how your life is

21:13

on the up and up . Listen

21:16

, I believe in you and actually , on that

21:18

note , next month I'll be sharing

21:20

my word for 2024 . So

21:23

how about you think what yours will be as

21:25

it will show itself during January . So

21:28

enjoy the journey , go inward

21:30

, find your passion , find

21:33

your direction , find your focus and

21:35

find your word , and let's

21:37

have a conversation next month .
