077: I had no plan. No business. Just a belief.

Want To Watch Entrepreneurs In Recovery? Watch Here: https://www.youtube.com/@jesseharless  In this solo episode of Entrepreneurs in Recovery, I’m sharing one of the most pivotal moments of my life—when I walked away from a six-figure corporate job in 2017 with nothing but a handwritten goal card and a vision. I had no clear plan, just a deep knowing that I was meant for something more—and that one intention changed everything. I talk about the power of auto-suggestion, why our words carry the ability to shape reality, and how that goal card became the seed for Entrepreneurs in Recovery. I also open up about the next chapter of my journey: stepping fully into the role of psychedelic concierge, guiding leaders through intentional plant medicine journeys with safety, integration, and trauma-informed care at the center. This one is vulnerable, real, and straight from the heart. I hope it inspires you to speak your own truth into existence. Moments From The Show 00:00 – Life Changing Affirmation 01:40 – Why this episode matters 03:30 – Corporate job and hidden depression 05:00 – The mastermind that changed everything 07:00 – Writing the goal card that changed his life 08:20 – Leaving the job with no clear plan 09:40 – Manifestation, words, and the power of intention 11:45 – How psychedelics helped access deeper trauma 13:15 – The father wound and long-term emotional impact 15:20 – What is a psychedelic concierge? 17:40 – My new affirmations 20:15 – Clear plan to bring the vision to life 22:00 – Closing thoughts: integration, nervous system, and support My Free Self-Regulation Guide https://shorturl.at/jEJG3  My Book - If Not You, Then Who? https://www.amazon.com/dp/1733531610 My Coaching Program https://www.jesseharless.com/coaching    Submit To The Show Your Questions, Challenges, Issues, Share Your Story https://form.jotform.com/242276390225051    Life Saving Routines With Hal Elrod | Entrepreneurs In Recovery Ep 030  https://youtu.be/I2bjdgIkL0I    Connect With Jesse Website: https://www.entrepreneursinrecovery.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/JesseHarless222 Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/JesseHarless22 Links To More: https://linktr.ee/jesseharless222    Get Your Genome Report https://thednacompany.com/jesseharless     Apollo Wearable Touch Therapy https://apolloneuro.com/entrepreneursinrecovery   The Entrepreneurs in Recovery podcast is for those interested in finding healing from addictions, trauma, and attachments that hold them back from sharing their authentic voice and message with the world.
