DN124 with Genesis Dorsey- How to Monetize Your Genius

Did you ever tried pursuing something you thought you love but ended up in entrepreneurship? Our podcast guest Genesis Dorsey felt just like that when she needed to step up for their family business, a role she thought was too boring for her before. But after trying her hand on it, she could not stop. She left medicine, a path she was once sure was her calling. Today, she is a successful coach, speaker, consultant and entrepreneur of different businesses.

Genesis met her passion through a family trial, and she believes everyone has their own passion and skill set that you can monetize. Now, she helps other entrepreneurs package their genius into products and services so they can impact other people lives and transform theirs as well. She believes you can hit whatever business goals that you have at any time you wanted to, as long as you don’t give up, and you have the right strategy and focus. And that is what exactly we will learn from today’s episode with Genesis!

Be prepared to really be inspired to take action after you hear the loads of knowledge nuggets Ms. Dorsey shared with us in this episode. You’ll feel refreshed, you’ll feel enough, and you’ll feel all the limits have been taken off your road. Be ready to blaze your paths just like how she did! Be sure to share this with your family and friends too!

Here’s What You Missed

• Discovering what your passion really is

Knowledge Nuggets

[2:38] I learned what I loved through going through something I didn't want to do. Sometimes the things that we are resisting come back to nip us in the butt. Never tell the world what you are going to do. Cause you never know what may come back around. You really don't know until your purpose leads you, so that's why you never reject anything because you never know what may be your big bang.

7:14] You've already have a purpose the you're born. It's just about figuring out what you're going to monetize as far as the skill set. So you first have to make sure that you don't view purpose as some kind of label. You need to validate that you're important. From there you need to figure out, how am I going to make money from a skill set?

>>[8:10] Don't define purpose by a title cause that's really dangerous. And you will feel as if you are not important because you don't have a "what can I be known by around the world?"  So if you're going to do something, do it with passion and do it with purpose, but don't let it be your all in all.

>>[10:29] "Making money is easy, but people over-think on how to make it." So my first thing is the first skill is to stop over-thinking how to make your money. Second skill is you gotta have self awareness. It's simplify what you love and then figure out for yourself, based upon self awareness, what's the best way to do it.

>>[15:53] I was enough. My brain was enough and it just took the limits off of everything.

>>[16:57] If you don't hire, you will expire. Cause you only have so much human capital. We only have so much from one person.

>>[19:18] If you show up in your business and you get strategic and you focus like I did with my consulting and coaching firm, you can hit whatever goals you desire, as long as you have the plan in place.

>>[20:58] Value proposition. You have to be very clear on what you're doing and who you're for. Position yourself as the expert. It's not like just because it's your first year of business does not mean that that has been your first year of expertise.

>>[23:17] You have to get over the fear of talking to people. Otherwise your money is going to be just as shy as you are.

>>[26:32] My parents always say: "Our job is to build wealth and then help others build wealth and to help others get to where we've gotten. But you can't do that if you think that somehow you getting somewhere is enough.”

>>[28:04] I don't think enough people realize that when moments like this are of great crisis, it's a time where your impact is almost multiplied because people are even more hungry and even more thirsty for change because they're going through crisis and crisis is  a catapult for change. People want something different because what they're experiencing right now is catastrophic.

[31:32] If you can change mentality, a lot of other things fall like dominoes.

>>[32:09] "Assumption is the lowest form of knowledge." Don't assume anything, go after everything and you'll see what actually happens. You can't say something will not work and you have not done it. There's no data. You got to wait.

>>[35:06] Stop listening to your lying self. Your low self esteem is screaming louder than your actual reality. Your reality can change. You can transform your life. You'll never learn if you don't go. Nothing better happens when you don't move.

>>[37:06] Decisions. That is what life is really built up in. And what we don't realize is we don't actually have that many choices in our life.  Don't allow life to make a decision for you. You need to decide.
