Build Your Business 6 Pack

The only thing that's keeping you from getting what you want is the story you keep telling yourself - Tony Robbins

Welcome back to episode 2 in this seven episode series, where I'm introducing you to the Build Your Business 6 Pack formula, my signature coaching programme and giving you some very simple, immediately actionable steps to help you go from being blocked in your business to having your business breakthrough.

Remember, I've also created the worksheet and the quiz for you.

In the following three episodes, I'm talking to you in more detail about each of the three elements of the Build Your Business 6 Pack. And we're going to start with the biggie. The brain and the mind. And right now, I'm going to tell you exactly why the brain is probably your biggest problem.

Attitude

So, in episode number one, the last episode, I talked to you about attitude and how attitude is an expression of your beliefs or philtres and feelings about all things. You can also think of this as your story.

The unconscious script that your brain has created for your life, it's already written the entire play. The ending has already been decided, unless you decide to change your story.

Now, in commitment to keeping my podcast episodes short and in service to you, I'm not going to go into huge detail about how you got your story. Simply put, all the information that you received, mainly between the ages of zero and seven, but not exclusively so, all of that information you received from all of your senses created these unconscious filters through which everything that came after that was filtered through and it created these beliefs and expectations inside your brain. You can look at it as it created your life script. And when you consider that inside the average household by the age of 18, you have been told no in excess of 148,000 times, it's easy to see how so many of your programmes can be of lack and limitation.

So what does this mean for you and your business?

If your brain doesn't hold a programme, doesn't have the conditioning where you are abundant and successful, it will be almost impossible for you to create that as a reality. And that's why you can take a tonne of action, keep trying new things, never give up. And yet the results are always the same. Nothing changes.

It's like taking all of the ingredients to bake an amazing cake, mixing it all up into the batter, putting it in the oven and not turning the oven on.

The question is, do you want to keep working harder?

Do you want to keep spending money on new strategies but not using them, not implementing, not getting results?

Do you want to keep experiencing the reality of your limiting beliefs?

I'm going to take a guess that the answer is no. And what I'm hoping should now be evident from these first two episodes is that in order to change your reality, you need to start by changing your story, not your strategy. And that's what I'm going to show you how to do right now.

In episode #5 I'm sharing a 2nd exercise to rewire your subconscious mind.  Right now I'm giving you something to implement that will have an immediate impact. PLUS.. there is a audio recording to help you rewire your subcoscious mind...  And it's going to be based on the following three things I want you to know.

1. Beliefs are nothing more than thoughts repeated. They are not truths. They feel true because they have such a strong emotional charge for us.But they are nothing more than a thought that you have had on loop.
2. Beliefs can be changed instantly if you have ever not been scared of flying and then had a bad flight and then instantly become scared of flying. That's how quickly a belief can change your limiting beliefs.
3. Your limiting beliefs are conditioned. Your success beliefs are created.

So this is how we start now, looking at differentiating the brain, which we know is about keeping us in survival mode. It's about keeping us safe.

And our brain doesn't like the challenge of new and how we can use our mind, our higher self, our will, our divine, to redirect our brain to do the things that we need it to do.

Business Breakthrough Exercise #2

If your story is made of thoughts that have been repeated, how do you think a new story is made? You got it. It's simply the repetition of new thoughts.

Think of it like rewriting the screenplay of your life. You have to go back to the beginning to change the final scene. You have to change your self talk. This isn't about thinking positive, but it's about thinking with a desired outcome in mind.

It's about self talk that you've created with your infinite mind, the mind of limitless possibilities to direct your brain to do something that it doesn't want to do or to believe something that it doesn't yet believe. Here's exactly how you're going to do it and it's going to start making an impact.

Today, I want you to write down three to five thoughts that will now think of them like your thought sherpas.

They are going to guide your actions every single day. You can have different thoughts every day or the same, it doesn't matter. It just has to work for you. This is where you start tapping into your intuition what's going to work for you. But what you must know is that you need to know and you need to see and you need to feel how, with these thoughts, you will show up as a different person inside your business, showing up the way you already know that you need to show up.

I'm going to share some examples with you so you can see, feel and understand what I mean. So I just wrote five random things down.

I am choosing what is possible for me and I am choosing success.

Making money can be easy and fun.

It is really powerful for me to charge for the change I can help someone make in their life.

Small, consistent action is the most powerful way for me to get a breakthrough.

I am who I say I am. I achieve what I commit myself to.

This isn't about positive thinking, reeling off affirmations verbatim, just saying the words. This is about you picking a thought. Choosing a thought where you can actually in your mind's eye and in your body, see how you would show up differently.

It's about recognising that there are some thoughts that you have right now that mean that somewhere in your business you're backing down, somewhere you're not being courageous, somewhere you're not stepping up, somewhere you're not doing what you know needs to be done. Maybe you procrastinate, you're not committed, you're distracted, you put other people first instead of your business. And choosing a thought that you know that when you practise and you act from that thought by choice, by consciousness, you will create a different outcome.

Best Practice

Do not rush this first part when you're choosing the thoughts.

Like I say, this isn't just empty affirmations, this is life changing, conscious thought choices. Write down, I'd say, like at least ten more if you want, and then pick the ones that feel most powerful. Anything that gives you like a visceral reaction is always good. But if you're not quite that kinesthetic, just trust your gut to choose the most powerful ones, the ones that you can see will have you acting in a different way.

Do not underestimate the power of this practise.

That right there is a limiting programme and will keep you in the strategy search. You have to understand how powerful this is when you commit and of course, impact requires implementation. When you act from this new self talk, what exactly are you going to do differently? What will you start doing immediately? What will you stop doing immediately? And it would benefit you to get that written down as well.

Let me tell you it's going to be hard. Your brain is going to resist, your body's going to resist. But if you want to succeed in your business, you're going to be willing to push past that discomfort and do those things from that thought. You have to have the implementation to have impact.

You have to practise it. Because remember, a thought practised becomes a belief.

 If you'd like more personal detail on exactly what's stopping you having your business breakthrough, please make sure you go take my Business breakthrough quiz because it will tell you exactly what that is. I'll also send you a personal report straight to your inbox with really easy implementation steps specifically for the problem that was most identified as your business block.

And as soon as you've done that, make sure you hit play on episode number three in this bonus series.

I am so excited to be bringing you the rebrand of the Your Rich Life Podcast. This podcast is where small business owners, like you, can learn how to stop spinning your wheels in the same results, grow your small business and guarantee your success.

To introduce this rebrand, I've recorded a bonus seven episode series and they're all available right now.  The first four episodes will explicitly show you where your business breakthrough is going to be. And by taking you through my signature framework, Build Your Business 6 Pack, you'll be able to self identify your biggest business block. The final episodes are the three essential foundational, pillars and Practises of your success. In fact, all success.

I've seen it with myself, my clients, inside my mastermind groups, and from research gathered on the world's most successful people. Plus, this podcast is focused on implementation over information. So at the end of every podcast, there's going to be a small, simple actionable step for you to implement. And on top of that, you can take my Business Breakthrough quiz and get a personal, detailed report sent to you on how to create your business breakthrough now. And the link for that is in the show. Notes if you take these small, easy steps inside the next seven episodes and take the quiz, I am absolutely certain that you will achieve a breakthrough in your business. So if you're ready, let's get going with episode number one. 

It is your attitude, not your aptitude that determines your altitude - Zig ziglar.

If there were a quote that summed up Build Your Business six pack, this would be it. And here's why. First of all, let's start off with the definition of attitude.

It is a feeling or opinion about something or someone or a way of behaving that is caused by this. So basically, attitude is the expression or the outcome of your beliefs, which in turn determines what action you will or will not take. However, in the small business world, you've probably noticed by now that the answer for those who are struggling is strategy.

You just need to know how to how to improve your copy or your messaging.

Choose a different social media platform or use your existing one better.

Grow your email list.

 Email marketing.

Own your pricing.

Nail your niche.

Get better at branding.

Learn how to use AI.

Get on the latest trend.

As I record this, Threads has literally just been published about a week ago.

There are definitely going to be some cases where this is going to be true in your business. But having worked with hundreds of small business owners, here's what I'd see to be more true.

It is unresourceful and often damaging beliefs of lack and limitation that lead to frantic and unfocused action taken from fear and desperation that have small business owners spinning their wheels, creating the same unsatisfying results over and again and have them thinking that there is a magic strategy that's missing.

There is no missing strategy.

There is just no one telling you that the most powerful strategy is you.

Until now.

So over the next seven episodes, I'm going to help you become that strategy.

And I'm not going to just bombard you with information, I am coaching you to implement, because that's the only thing that will create the change that you require. I'm going to finish this short introductory episode with a basic overview of the Build Your Business six pack formula. And then I'm going to give you your first implementation exercise. And it is short and it is sweet, like all of them. So if you're ready, let's go in with element number one, which is the brain and mind. There are five things that I want you to really hold on to when it comes to your brain.

1. Your brain functions from a programme. It filters all information from all of your senses through this programme.
2. The results that you don't have but you want are a result of this programme.
3. Your brain's job is to keep you safe and alive and your brain doesn't care if you're successful.
4. So basically, your brain is naturally not going to be on your side. It has two jobs to keep you safe, to keep you alive.
5. It is your mind where the magic is. Your mind is your higher self, your infinite possibility. Your mind has all the answers.

It is all the answers. It is your will, your deepest desires, and it's a thing that right here we're going to use to direct your brain to do what we need it to do. And inside the Build Your Business six pack, you're going to rewire your programmes of limitation and create success. You're going to learn how to use your mind to be in control of your brain always.

The next pillar of BB6P is Body and Energy. And two words really sum this up, vibrancy and frequency. Inside this pillar, you're going to discover the power of using your body to create both the long term motivation to take action with vibrancy and joy instead of dread and fear. And on top of that, you're going to learn how to create an energetic frequency that actually matches the outcome that you desire versus the outcome that you keep creating.

This is where we look at the tools that keep you both physically fit and healthy and strong, as well as the techniques that you can use to instantly shift how you feel and to create a powerful energy of creation and action.

Then we sew it all together with high performance coaching and strategy. This is element number three.

High performance coaching is scientifically backed. It's a coaching framework based on research of the world's most successful people. It will show you exactly how to think and act in a way that guarantees not just your business success, but your life success. Your best life, relationships, health, purpose, aliveness. You're all going to find evidence of high performance coaching throughout the entire formula of Build Your Business six pack.

Now, we're going to combine that with clarity on your personal and business strategies to amplify your energy, to grow your faith, to raise your frequency with knowing what you need to do now to move your business forward is where it all really comes together.

And that's it. That's the introduction.

The whole point of starting here was to give you some idea of where you might not be showing up, where you might not have the information you need. So just taking a think about it, if you had to think about all of those things, where do you think you can identify your business block right now? Is it more in the brain and mind? Is it more in your body and energy? Is it in the coaching and the strategy? Maybe you feel like it's a bit of everything and all of that's. Okay, right. If you want to know more details on that, please go take the quiz. The quiz will tell you explicitly where you need to start working to achieve your business breakthrough right now.

Implemention Exercise #1

It starts with a metaphorical line in the sand.

Your decision now to start over, but starting over

with all of the experience and knowledge that you've already got, that you've gained from your previous experience.

Starting over with knowing that this is the perfect time for you to commit to your success, with the decision that you will make you the most important project in your business.

Now, to help you at this level draw this metaphorical line in the sand and get some clarity for the future, I've created a really sort of fun and explorative workbook for you to help you get all of this out of your head and get it down on paper. There is space for you to journal, identify action steps, look at where you are, where you want to go, track your habits, and of course, a collection of powerful quotes that you can print and put up in your office or around your home to keep you in that frequency of faith and motivation and success. And good news is, it's totally free.

Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back. Harvey Mackay

I don't have enough time

I'm always so busy 

I have too much to do

How many times have you heard yourself say this?

And how do you feel when you're saying this to yourself day in, day out?

"Too much to do and too little time to do it" is such a common, limiting belief. 

It's a "weed in my brain" that I regular have to pull out. In fact, it's so well rehearsed that I FEEL it before I think it.

 In this epsiode I'm going to share with you how:

1. I'm too busy/I have too much to do is a LACK model 

2. Why it's creating the results you don't want 

3. What I'm doing about it when that thought comes up for me

I'm also going to share the Model i'm running when i'm telling myself I don't have enough time.

IIf we maintain a broken and habitual thought (brushing it under the carpet or trying to out think/out work it), it will continue to create unresourceful feelings and culminate in no/disappointing results.

Truth is we are ALL running out of time and we ALL have 24 hours in a day.

So why is it so hard for us to allocate and invest our time wisely? In this episdoe I'm sharing with you an "umbrella" reason that I see over and over again with my clients and in my communities. 

As always, I'll share a "homework" activity so that you don't just keep taking on more information, you USE it and create TRANSFORMATION

What if you honoured the season you were in?

How would treat yourself differently?

How would you talk to yourself differently?

Right now, I’m very much in a season that I’m unfamiliar with. And I want to share that experience with you in the hope that it will help you recognise and journey through yours.

What I've noticed, is that people are almost totally disconnected from the season that they're in.

Because we've been taught to "get on with it"; "be strong" or just accept that it's part of life. 

So let me start with a quote:

“We all know that if the seasons were the same, there would be no growth. We know that without winter there would be no spring. We know that without frosts there would be no bulbs and without the monsoon there would be no rice harvest. In the same way, we also know that without sorrow there would be no joy. Without pain there would be no healing. I think that's precisely where the beauty comes in. It comes in through the fruit of the seasons. He has indeed made everything beautiful in its time.” 
― Naomi Reed, My Seventh Monsoon: A Himalayan Journey Of Faith And Mission

I believe that my current season started Feb 2020, when I was in the room when the Dr told my dad his cancer care would now be palliative. It was a slow motion experience. I couldn’t see my dads face, but I could see my mum looking at my dad. I looked across at my twin sister and in that moment it was as if I could feel everybody’s reaction all in one go.

I believe my current season is the “grande finale” of the last 3 years and it finds me navigating the spectrum of emotions – sometimes in one day. From starting the day feeling clear and confident to ending it feeling like I have no idea what I’m doing with my life – and a tonne of tears inbetween.

Anxiety still visits and there are days where I have to coach myself out of bed.

I find it harder to maintain motivation, I get very stressed by being on social media and my head feels empty a lot of the time – not helpful at all for content and marketing.

I wanted to share ALL of this with you because I value transparency. If I’m experiencing this, I know I’m not alone. And If I can help even one person with this episode, it will be worth it.

ONCE YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR SEASON, ASK YOURSELF WHAT YOU NEED

Before I finishup with today’s simple and powerful homework, here’s a quote from an incredible book that I’m re-reading in this season – Letting Go….

“Letting go involves being aware of a feeling, letting it come up, staying with it, and letting it run its course without wanting to make it different or do anything about it. It means simply to let the feeling be there and to focus on letting out the energy behind it. The first step is to allow yourself to have the feeling without resisting it, venting it, fearing it, condemning it, or moralizing about it. It means to drop judgment and to see that it is just a feeling. The technique is to be with the feeling and surrender all efforts to modify it in any way. Let go of wanting to resist the feeling. It is resistance that keeps the feeling going. When you give up resisting or trying to modify the feeling, it will shift to the next feeling and be accompanied by a lighter sensation. A feeling that is not resisted will disappear as the energy behind it dissipates.” 
― David R. Hawkins, Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender

In 2020 Julie was a home schooling mum, teaching community art on line. 

She'd never considered starting a business - she did what she did because she loved it. 

And then something happened. 

And Julie took the rage, added it to her passion, and started her own business. 

During her first launch, she hoped for 20 founding members in her new membership. She got over 300. 

Right now, her business is at $500k/year, she has 6 staff members who are all home school mums who can work around their schedules, and Julie is still loving what she does. 

I LOVED finishing off my bonus series on "What's Possible When You Make a Decision" with this conversation because it's living proof that passion, a willingness to get messy and a decision to just keep going will always pay dividends. 

You can find Julie on Instagram , Facebook and The Tikky Tok @ Soul Sparklettes Art 

I don't believe you don't know WHAT to do

I don't believe you don't now HOW to do it

What I do believe is that you don't know WHY you can't or don't do the things you need to do to grow your small/online business

And that's why today I'm talking about why I honestly believe, the breakthrough that you're looking for in your business is going to require a life coach, NOT a business coach. 

In order to show you why I think this is true, I'm going to share with you THREE common problems that business owners want coaching on and why LIFE coaching, no business coaching, is where they find the answer. 

I will show you why you don't need coaching on PRODUCTIVITY or TIME MANAGEMENT 

I will show you why your ENERGY is so important and how life coaching is how you generate it

I will show you why STRATEGY is almost NEVER the problem and it's costing you a lot of time and a lot of money to keep thinking that. 

Listen, I've spent over £80k on coaching, masterminds and certifications. And most of it didn't work. Because I wasn't the person to work it (you'll 'get this' when you listen to the podcast). 

I want YOU to succeed in your business. 

Because you feel passionate about it

Because it's what you want

Because it will be the best lesson you can give your children

Because you will contribute to changing the world for the better

Having me as your 1-1 coach is going to show you exactly how to create those internal, thought and energetic changes so that you not only know WHAT to do and HOW to do it but exactly WHO you need to be so that you can execute consistently, manage the discomfort of the journey and see all results as data and not a personality defect!! Ready? Book your free consult here.

As a life coach, I obviously work with clients because they want to change their life in some way. They have a result in their life they don't want and/or they have a result they do want.

BUT what happens when you keep getting a result you DON'T want?

I think there are TWO decisions you can make 

1. Stop justifying your excuses
2. Stop judging your results

I'm talking about these more in depth in this episode, and of course, giving you some work you can start implementing now. 

Something that I am very passionate about is helping my clients make peace with where they are NOW. We simply cannot make powerful decisions for ourselves, changes and goals if we are always in the energy of frustration for where we are. 

Are you ready to make Peace AND Change? Book you free consultation call with me now.

An Olympian who is on the couch getting a massage, is still giving their 100%

A working mum who's working on fat loss and gets a chicken kebab on a Saturday night, is still giving her 100%

A business owner who completely swtiches off on a weekend to be with their family, is still giving their 100%

The truth is this.

Everybody's 100% is different

You 100% looks different every day 

In this "micropod", I'm going in to some more detail about why this is so important

• Why the human experience is a collection of mosaic moments
• Why we shouldn't be focused on ONE aspect
• Why we need to bring ALL of us to the table 
• And, as always, a way for you to put all of this in to action

It's your time now to create your life of mosaic moments and as your life coach, I can help you do that.

What's possible when you make a decision? 

What becomes possible and available to you and for you. 

Welcome back to another bonus episode in this series about decisions.

Today I'm talking to Magda, an old school friend that I've not seen for 30 years.

However, after seeing a FB post last year, where she was celebrating not drinking for 2 years, I was compelled to reach out. 

Her post about becoming sobert was so raw and compelling that I wanted to know more. 

What had made her choose sobreity?

How had she navigated the journey, and were there times when she considered changing her mind? 

And how was her life different now? How did she manage the things that had been a trigger for her drinking in the first place?

What I found really interesting was that Magda didn't class herself as an alcoholic - it was more of a realisation about how it influenced her decisions - which we talk about in depth in this podcast. 

The reason I wanted to bring this conversation to you today was because as business owners, we manage a lot of stress, anxiety, uncertainty and overwhelm. And it's a human reaction to NOT want to feel these things. 

Alcohol offers us that release. 

It's also highly glamorised AND YET, with an increasing number of Alcohol Free products on the market, celebrities choosing sobriety and literature to help us live the alcohol free life.. and wanted to speak to someone who had taken the choice and is living proof of that decision. 

So get ready - this is a good one!!
