Activating Magic

In this very special episode of Aligned Entrepreneurs, I sat down with Kate Gerry and Chris Kinney for a little truth talk and behind the scenes of their transformations.

Listen to Kate as she tells us where she was when she knew in her gut that she had to join me for a retreat in Italy. She was experiencing a mismatch in values with her now ex-husband and determining if she still wanted to spend energy in the relationship. Kate also shares her side of the story of when she and Chris first met.

Hear Chris weigh in on where he was in life when he ended up on the Italy retreat. After a devastating breakup, he had listened to his intuition and reached out to see if we could partner together. After ending up in a totally different conversation, I invited him to the retreat. He explains what was going on in his mind when I took a stand for him joining us.

Their powerful stories make me all the more excited to use this livestream to announce our Lazy Bee ALIGNED retreat in Italy!

In this Episode:

• Learn what had to shift for Kate in order for her to own her truth.
• Hear how the retreat environment helped Kate break free from her past.
• Listen to Chris detail how his money mindset shifted.
• Hear the juicy punchline Kate and Chris have been waiting to share.

Key Takeaways:

• The size of a retreat doesn't always matter -- there was initially only one attendee signed up for our Italy retreat.
• Divine timing is always working for our good.
• We can't be in two different energies at the same time.
• Nothing great happens in life if we don't continuously move forward in faith.
• Learn all about our upcoming Lazy Bee ALIGNED retreat in Italy!

Today's guests, Stella Orange, Rebecca Liston, & Sarah Dew got tired of the old ways of building business and joined forces to do something about it. Their enthusiasm and simplistic approach is contagious, and I had a fantastic time digging deeper with them!

Guest Bio:

Orange, Liston, & Dew is a collaboration between three Beavers, Stella Orange, Rebecca Liston, and Sarah Dew, who'd grown tired of the old way of business building, which struck them as unoriginal, formulaic, and the opposite of fun.

So they decided to do it differently. As a copywriter, business intuitive, and a no-nonsense strategist, the trio works with clients who want to build a different kind of business – rooted in what's fun for the business owner, and what's highest and best for her clients. They host BeaverCon in person and Beaver Lodges online, gathering business owners around the world who know that we can go farther and build faster when we do it together. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During our discussion, we dove into what lead these three "Beavers" to where they are today. Sarah shares how she came to a point where she couldn't bring herself to send one more email to her list, and Stella recounts how she felt when she realized what her training as a copywriter was actually teaching her to do.

We're joined by a live guest who gains insight on how to frame an offer at the end of her keynote talk that speaks to the right audience and doesn't make her feel too "salesy". The Beavers offer clarity and suggestions that take Veronica from anxious to excited about her presentation.

We also cover:

• What the New Way Forward is and how listeners can apply it to their business.
• How to fill a room with people aligned with your event and your offerings.

If you're a retreat leader, you've probably been faced with all sorts of questions like: Where should I hold it? What do I teach? How long should it be? How big should it be?

It's true, entrepreneurs make decisions all day long! Sometimes to the point where we face decision fatigue.

Today I want to share a helpful tool I use when I'm faced with a decision. I learned it from my wonderful mentor Bruce D. Schneider, the author of Energy Leadership. It teaches us to tune into ourselves to discover which of 7 energy levels we are operating on so that we can address our subconscious mind and make sound decisions.

It's super important for us to cover this tool now as a framework because I'll reference it in many episodes to come! Learning to recognize my energy level and the energy levels of those around me has absolutely rocked my world.

But before we dig in, please note that this tool doesn't just apply to retreat leaders. This is gold for any human who's ever had to make a decision -- I promise!

7 Energy Levels Cheat Sheet (Key Takeaways):

(Lowest)

1 - Victim Energy (I lose) [10:52]

2 - Anger / Conflict Energy (You lose) [14:18]

3 - Rationalization Energy (I win) [20:10]

4 - Concern Energy (You win) [26:02]

5 - Reconciliation Energy (Win-Win) [31:46]

6 - Synthesis Energy (We're all always winning) [39:43]

7 - Objectivity Energy (Winning and losing are illusions) [46:00]

(Highest)

• It's critical that you grasp this concept so that you know what energy level you're working with during your retreat. *[08:20]
• Try to tune into each of these energies now so that you can start to learn the signs your body gives you when you're in them. *[48:40]
• Things will come up in the container of your retreat that will act as mirrors to yours and others energy levels. Be prepared for this! *[18:55]

What does it mean to truly deliver transformation?

When I was first starting out in my business, I knew I was passionate about transformation. But I heard time and time again, "You can't sell mindset," and "Give them what they want,"

Guess what? That old-fashioned advice isn't true! Transformation is real, powerful, and deliverable.

In this episode, I'll share part of my journey, where I learned first hand what transformation is. I'll also cover what transformation is not (like temporary).

If you want to learn how to market a transformational outcome and feel confident that you can actually deliver it, this is the episode for you. A quick heads up, you'll want to have a pen handy for when I dive into the Anatomy of Transformation.

Key Takeaways:

• Transformation is not just good advice, because that advice won't land if the person isn't ready to hear it. [06:35]
• Law of Attraction, mantras, or affirmations can't work until you've made a shift to your subconscious mind. [05:45]
• There are 3 stages in the Anatomy of a Transformation, and the first stage is always commitment -- financial or otherwise. [18:30]
• You can learn to tune into where a group or individual is in the transformational journey (which is key for retreat leaders!) [36:35]

Let's talk today about why it's so important to own your magic (Yes, you have some!)

I was listening to Larry Winget speak, and quickly jotted down something he said,

"People will never listen to what you have to say, or believe what you have to say, but they will always listen for whether you believe what you have to say."

Wow. How true is that? If we're not believe what's coming out of our mouth, no one else will either. If we're not aligned with our truthm we end up taking on business we're not passionate about and undervaluing what we're delivering.

When I first started out, I realized my concern about people wondering why I was doing what I was doing was leading me to those very conversations. They could sense that I wasn't owning it. I was so concerned that I was inviting that conversation into that space.

Once I started owning my position as a coach, a flip switched. That's the power of owning it.

In this episode we'll cover the 4 Areas of Owning It:

1. Who you are
2. What you're about
3. What you do
4. Why your work matters

If you're struggling with clarity, scope creep, or pricing… this episode is for you!

Key Takeaways:

• Being comfortable in your own skin is a process. [12:20]
• We're all born with our truth, our journey is to systematically peel back the curtain to that truth. [13:30]
• How what you're about is different than what you do. [19:50]
• How to find your clarity point! [20:18]
• Defeating scope creep. [28:05]
• Considering the ripple effect in your pricing. [33:23]
• True transformation is permanent -- not an addictive habit. [34:08]
• How owning those 4 areas creates magic. [34:45]

Welcome to the first episode of the Aligned Entrepreneurs podcast!

Today I'm diving right in with an overview of my Retreat and Grow Rich Business System.

This is a system I've been using for years. But it wasn't until someone asked me how I had been bringing in 4+ new, high paying clients after every retreat that I thought about sharing it.

The purpose of this program (and everything I do) is so that aligned entrepreneurs can make money doing what they were put on this earth to do. This ensures that they can serve their audience well and continue to show up as their best self.

That being said, I encourage everyone to understand the spirit of this system so that they can custom fit it to their and their businesses needs.

Key Takeaways:

• The 4 Stages of the Retreat and Grow Rich System. [11:26]
• Understanding the 3 offerings you need in your business. [18:50]
• How to ensure success of your students long after the retreat ends. [27:01]
• Examples of how the RAGR Business System would have worked for 2 entrepreneurs. [36:45]

At the end of this episode, I'll give you a taste of what you can expect on future Aligned Entrepreneurs podcasts! Be sure to stay tuned for upcoming topics and information on how we can connect.
