In this episode of The Aligned for Success podcast, Nikki shares two powerful concepts from her early coaches that transformed her approach to business and life: "money likes to move" and "the world is a mirror."
Nikki opens with a personal story about obsessively checking Delta One upgrade prices for her upcoming Paris trip with her friend Leslie. After weeks of monitoring prices, when the upgrade finally dropped to her target range over a holiday weekend, she didn't hesitate—she booked it immediately without waiting for her friend's confirmation. Hours later, the opportunity was gone for her friend, perfectly illustrating why successful people act decisively when opportunities arise.
Nikki then shares the mirror principle through a raw admission about being ghosted by 19 out of 20 people she reached out to help with TWP mentorship applications. This led to a moment of self-awareness when she realized she had done the exact same thing—purchasing a coaching program the previous year and completely disappearing without participating. She explores how our behaviors create mirror effects, attracting patients who no-show, difficult people, and frustrating situations when we ourselves aren't showing up fully.
Nikki challenges listeners to examine their own patterns and emphasizes that successful business ownership requires being "obsessed with your calendar" and holding commitments. She delivers powerful insights about how "everything that is ultimately a business problem is deep down a personal problem," making this episode a must-listen for anyone ready to examine the personal behaviors that might be sabotaging their business success.
