102: 10 Ways You're Showing The Universe You're Not Confident And Not Worthy Of Living An Abundant Life

In today’s episode, I wanna share with you 10 ways you’re showing the universe you’re not worthy of living an abundant life. Now, do you feel like you’re not worthy of having an abundance or happy life? Are there ways you’re showing the universe that you’re not confident, and unworthy?

Make-do Solution

(1:25-1:31) Just over the weekend, something happened to my studio. There were a lot of flies in the studio.

(1:50-2:01) And they were all flying around in the room. It’s those very small flies and these are the flies that we find in the toilet. So we tried to clean it ourselves.

(2:12-2:21) There were so many things that we did ourselves. And after the cleaning, it did not get better.

(2:38-2:56) So it can get really quite scary. And finally, after many days of staring at those flies, I finally called a cleaning company or a pest company who specialize in getting rid of pests to help us.

(3:06-3:34) And they came around with their giant machine and it took less than 15 minutes and they cleared everything and that cost us $200. Now, $200 to solve the problem. In fact, remove the problem immediately and completely thus saving me the torture of having flies flying around me during my recordings.

(3:40-3:49) But I have to admit, I was first reluctant to pay it because I thought that I could do it myself and get my partner to do it myself.

(3:50-4:01) As I was coaching with clients this week, I told this story repeatedly because as women entrepreneurs we often look for the Make-Do Solution. 

(4:04-4:09) We feel like we should know how to do it alone.

(4:13-4:49) We not only try to do the thing ourselves and we try to do it for good measure. Now, these might be trivial things, everyday things- trivial, small, tiny. But trust me, If every time you choose the cheaper option or what we call the economy class option rather than the VIP version, you’re telling the universe that you’re not ready for more. That you’re not confident to receive more. You’re just trying to find ways, so-called for value or trying to save your money. 

(5:12-5:31) So we try to make things difficult for ourselves because we are reluctant to pay the money for the right solution that can solve in minutes. And we think that we should do it ourselves or deep down we don’t believe that we deserve the very best yet.

10 Examples

(5:50-6:03) In your business and career, try to do everything yourself from websites to PR, paying bits and pieces of money for piecemealing solutions together that don’t quite work.

(6:05-6:14) Being reluctant to higher help or outsource or delegate, because we’re just too busy and besides nobody can do it like me.

(6:16-6:26) Sticking with the web designer or graphic designer that doesn’t work for you anymore because you feel bad about leaving or asking for what do you really want.

(6:29-6:56) Waiting to get a new laptop, iPad, iPhone because you can’t justify the expenses yet or you don’t feel ready for the best equipment. Or maybe someone is telling you you shouldn’t spend your money on an iMac 2020 latest version because the earlier version just before the new version is released is going to be way much cheaper.

(6:58-7:13) Having sub-standard hate shots, business cards, websites, and being too embarrassed to send them to potential clients. Not having a dedicated space for your business for the fear of inconveniencing other people.

(7:15-7:34) Using a very lousy chair that doesn’t help you with your posture. Doesn’t allow you to sit longer hours in comfort and then pay and spend a fortune in going to chiropractic or going for Tui Na or Tie ta.

(7:36-7:49) Life in general. Skipping lunch or feeding yourself with leftovers. Feeling terrible as a mother for putting your kids in Daycare just to get some “me time” to work on your business. 

(7:50-8:06) Feeling guilty about getting a babysitter or a part-time cleaner in, but getting frustrated with the messy house and spending your Saturday’s and Sunday’s cleaning or fighting with your partner about whose turn is it to clean the toilet.

(8:08-8:14) Being loyal to a hair or beauty person even if you aren’t happy with the service anymore.

(8:16-8:24) Resenting your partner because they always seem to buy new clothes, new shoes, when they need them without feeling guilty about it.

(8:25-8:42) Putting off Health maintenance like dental, optical because you’re scared of the cost. Wearing outdated clothes or glasses or feel like laser is something that other people do, but not you.

(8:45-9:34) So all these things I’ve just mentioned, where in your life and business are you trying or are you at today honestly? I mean the good news is every time you choose the VIP option, every time you choose to honor yourself, to love yourself, to take care of yourself first, and you take care of your time first, and let’s face it, your mental health. The universe rewards you. Sometimes that costs money, sometimes it’s inconvenient, and yes sometimes you will feel guilty. But you know what my dear? Take action. Pick one thing in your day-to-day life that is causing you unnecessary waste of energy and immediately upgrade it.

(10:07-10:25) I know that I love myself, and I set myself free. And this is my time and I’m ready for the next step. And for you, if you’re feeling tired, you’re feeling frustrated with your not enough time, not enough freedom, book in the Virtual Assistant. Delegate. Outsource.

(10:36-10:51) Go to https://www.instanttribeleader.com/ . Go grab those project kits on how to hire a virtual assistant. What is the systems and process you can set up, what are the things you can do with your VA. All the project kits and workbooks are there ready for you.

(11:02-11:14) And for you who has not even thinking about updating your branding shots, you just want to save money. You know what? Lock in the new date for those headshots. Go for it.

(11:15-11:42) Go through your closet, and really put away or give away those things that is really economy. Then it will have a huge impact in your manifesting ability, your ability to receive because you are subconsciously telling yourself that, “Yes! This is my time and I’m ready for the next step.” And you are showing the universe that you are worth more than that and you will be rewarded for it.

(11:45-11:57) We all have a part to play in this. This is your time and you are ready for the next step. The more you take action in a consistent way the faster you build momentum and really grow your business.

Key Takeaways:

1. Try to do everything yourself.
2. Delegate.
3. Outsource.
4. Choose to love yourself first.
5. Upgrade and take action.

101: What Else? The Powerful Question To Attract Even More Luck And Abundance

We all go through stages of feeling bad about ourselves. Do you have those days when you are convinced that everything you do is crap? And you are never going to make it anyway so why bother anyway?

(2:25-2:38) Start with “I’m proud of” and all the important question is “What else?”. Now you have to keep asking yourself that question until you have 50 success.

(2:43-2:56) Or something that you can talk about positively and celebrate it. I would say something like wins, having big wins. So you can do this exercise at any time.

(3:21-3:30) The list of, I would say, wins is important. But the question “What else?” is extremely important.  

(4:26-4:27) Keep celebrating.

(4:40-4:44) Keep asking and keep asking and don’t give up.

(4:46-5:07) I would say bragging, celebrating your success, celebrating small wins, is good for you. It’s emotional health, my dear. It’s awesome to remember everything. It’s great for manifesting to acknowledge your wins. Big and small so that you can attract. 

(5:12-5:47) Work on a mix of business and personal. As long as you get 30 to 50 good things. Now if you do this by yourself, eventually you’ll run out of steam or you just get distracted by your handphone notifications and move on to something else. For best results, you need me to be with you. Book a coaching call with me http://www.soulrichwoman.com/clarity-call or you need a partner to hold the space to gently ask you “What else?”.

(6:14-6:16) Now here are just some of mine:

(6:17-6:26) Number 1, we have created our program that is funded by our government, what we called Skills Future Credit.

(6:38-6:46) Two, our podcast has now listeners and followers in 56 countries within a single year.

(7:17-7:28) Share it with me, okay? I will love to hear them. And next time when you’re having a bad day, have a read over everything that’s awesome that you’ve accomplished.

(7:31-7:39) Imagine me right now saying to you this “What else?” every time you get stuck.

(7:46-8:12) Money blocks and being a Soul Rich Woman blueprint are just an important topic for female entrepreneurs and women leaders and we all have a responsibility to clear them and not just for ourselves but for the rest of our communities as well. We all have a part to play in this. This is your time and you are ready for the next step. The more you take action in a consistent way, the faster you build momentum and really grow your business.

Key Takeaways:

1. Keep asking yourself  “What else?”
2. List up to 50 successes you’ve accomplished.
3. Keep celebrating your success.
4. Don’t give up.
5. Take action.

100: MMS Mindset Success At Different Stages Of Your Business

Welcome to today’s show with Genecia Alluora- author of Make It Happen, Speaker, and the founder of Soul Rich Woman. In today’s episode, she will talk about mindset issues and different stages of your business. Stay tuned as she will share with you the 5 stages of your business and the mindset issues that you might face.

Stage 1

(1:45-1:47) Courage to own what did you do  

(1:52-2:11) So action will be to put your job title or your desired title on your email signature. You will start to see it every day and to start to believe it in yourself. Now, this is coming from a space where you feel like a fraud, you feel like an impostor. So I want to help you.

(2:14-2:33) Maybe you are still in a job so it’s tough to juggle everything. Stressing about getting your first client or charging people. Making the transition from free to paid can be tricky but just pick a number and try it out. 

(2:34-2:50) Procrasti branding- that means you add procrastination and branding. That means you keep getting stuck thinking you need a website to get started or get business cards. Just focus on getting your first client.

(2:51-3:08) Procrasti funnels- that means you have procrastination about building your funnels and you’re thinking what is the funnels that you need to build to get started or to launch your first landing page. You know what? Just focus on getting your first client.

(3:09-3:30) You might be still thinking of being your practice business. That’s okay, that means you’re practicing. It’s all good practice and it all counts. Be confident that your previous work experience or your practice, even though it failed in your businesses as all experiences count.

(3:32-3:38) The roller coaster of terror of having no income from the start.

(3:54-4:06) Say yes to everything. It’s all expensive. Throw everything at the wall and see if it sticks. So just try, go out there, never just filter everything.

Stage 2 

(4:21-4:27) Here are some of the mindset issues that you might face in stage 2.

(4:29-4:30) Fear of being visible.

(4:36-4:55) You post on social media, you write on the Instagram you’ll get haters. Or if you do videos, people will criticize you. Now the fear stops when you’re doing more things in your business, well anyway, the reality is it probably won’t happen for a while anyway.

(4:56-5:02) You might struggle being consistent in your marketing because you are still figuring out your target market.

(5:16-5;36)Just tweak as you go along. Quit thinking and start doing. Just keep going and pay attention to what resonates with you and get a mentor to kick your ass as well. Now if you do nothing, to be honest, you will not be able to figure out what your audience really wants.

(5:38-5:44) Boundaries might start to be a problem with clients because you’re so excited to even have them.

(6:02-6:11) Anyway, this is priceless learning for you. When you are going through this journey and learning to set boundaries and when to say no.

(6:14-6:27) Procrastination and fear of creating passive income products even though you know that you should. Because you’re starting to see the limitations of doing one on one work.

(6:47-6:49) Less time, less freedom.

(6:53-6:59) You’re still learning everything yourself. So you’re thinking you could start to delegate some stuff out.

(7:07-7:21) You start to invest in yourself more maybe with a coach or masterminds. Start to say maybe to everything. Think about if it fits into your business before you say yes to opportunities.

Stage 3

(7:37-7:45) CEO is not Chief Executive Officer. In this stage 3, it’s called Chief Everything Officer.

(7:46-7:56) You want to not become Chief Everything Officer. You want to be the Chief Executive Officer, and that is key.

(7:57-8:13) You’re also gaining momentum. Time to raise your prices to make sure you have the right clients. Boundaries with clients make you realize you need to tighten up some of your legal processes. Now is the time to make sure you have your contracts sorted out.

(8:16-8:23) You’ll learn this by trial and error. Maybe through nightmare clients. Then again these are priceless lessons.

(8:25-8:27) Start outsourcing things that stress you out.

(8:38-8:49) You start to tighten up the costing, the cost center of your business. Maybe you get a little bit too excited about earning money that you get crazy spending on personal development.

(8:51-8:53) Now it’s time to start paying yourself salary in Stage 3. 

(8:12-9:19) Start to say NO to things that aren’t in your zone of genius or things that don’t work for your business anymore.

Stage 4

(9:24-9:37) Loneliness. At this stage, it might be hard to find the right groups or masterminds for you. You need to be upgrading and make sure that you’re surrounding yourself with people with similar energy and vision of mindset with you. 

(9:39-9:51) Copycats might be a problem at this stage 4. Well, people are noticing what you’re doing and then you’ll get people flat or accidentally copying you including all or current clients. 

(9:53-9:57) Either don’t take it personally or get legal.

(10:16-10:22) Fame and popularity. You might get fangirls who love and adore you.

(10:31-10:52) Burnout. Now, some people get super burned out at this stage and wonder how they’ll keep going at this pace forever. And that is why I wanna tell you that you must build your freedom lifestyle. F-word, being fabulous, having freedom, financial independence,  and a happy family. Work towards that.

Stage 5

(10:56-11:09) Embracing your role as a leader and being willing to take on the role in your communities. Be willing to hold the space for people. Set rules in your business in how you want to interact with people.

(10:31-11:37) You start to get more brutal with your time and evaluate opportunities with more business.

(11:50-12:10) You’ll learn how to manage your money better with financial advisers or accountant, learning to be a rich person. Some people look to retirement. What’s next? Maybe you don’t hustle as much. The momentum is hard to switch off here if you have been consistent for many years.

Epilogue

(12:17-12:25) Earlier on I’ve just mentioned to you the 5 different stages that really reflect the mindset issues that can pop up for you.

(12:49-13:01) We all have a part to play in this. This is your time and you are ready for the next step. The more you take action in a consistent way the faster you built your momentum and really grow your business.

Key Takeaways:

1. All experiences count.
2. Quit thinking and start doing.
3. Learn to set boundaries.
4. Learn to say NO.
5. Start outsourcing things that stress you...

EPISODE 99 A man is not the plan with Mary Buffett

In this episode our very special guest is a best-selling author, international speaker, entrepreneur, political and environmental activist Ms. Mary Buffet. Ms. Buffett’s first book Buffettology, co-written with David Clark in 1997, was an immediate New York Times and Business Week best-seller. Since that time, all seven of Ms. Buffett’s books have been best-sellers.

A woman of influence

According to Marry a woman of influence is someone means 
(4:30)“how much we can do as women and influence our children, our husbands' politics, finance and all kinds of ways of influencing the world to be more peaceful and prosperous place”

Women plays a big role when it comes to being influential, not just around the corner but around the world also.
(4:56) “To be a woman of influence is a woman who influences anyone and anything basically.
(5:23) I guess it would be to teach my children and other children and other women especially to feel that they can do it. Just as anyone can do it.  But especially women I think women are actually better investors than men I think our intentions are better.”
 

 Favorite moment of influence

(6:46) The best thing I’ve done is while my children were in school was to influence their classmates by being a role model by being a single mom with my son and really being involved. And helping young man to become good man.

What does success mean in building an empire?

(7:27) Success means that I got an opportunity to share with other people and that’s the most important thing to me. We need to share what we’ve learned, what we have and what we can do.

 Pursue your dream and make it happen

Through education we’ll learn a lot of things and through that we can achieve our dreams. Mary Buffet stated.

(9;10)Education is the most important driver of prosperity and influence. 

 (9:45)A man is not a plan, in other words you can do it yourself you can build something out of nothing as long as you
have the dream. So follow that dream don’t give up and it can happen. 

Key Takeaways:

1.    A woman can be influential if she decides to be.

2.    You can make a difference in the world with your influence.

3.    Empower women and children for the next generations.

4.    An influential woman will teach others to be better people.

 98: Tell Your Story That Creates A Movement That Will Change Lives With Dr. John Tan

 We are very happy to have Dr. John Tan here today to share his journey with us about why he did podcasting. I have known Dr. John for the last 20 years and he is great.

Podcasting

(2:02-2:22) It opens itself up to different people. So firstly it would be the people who want to listen to your story, and there are these curious people out there that you do not know yet. Right? So I think the possibility is more of ourselves to believe that we have.

(2:24-3:17) Genecia first approached me I was like “Woah! Podcasting”. What was the medium all about? And I say “wow! There’s a lot of things to work”. Prepare technically and they keep telling me, “No it’s not. You have a story and the story needs to be heard. It’s just a method of like in this morning going through, how you structure the story and how you present it, and then later the technical aspects that come with all the other details. But the important thing is that you have something that you wanted to share.” so for me, it’s more like, at this stage of my life, it’s about living a legacy of knowledge and information and lessons I’ve learned. Primarily from mistakes, from errors, and all that.

(4:32-4:43) The best thing to do is just to take the leap first and try and then put it out there. Put the message out there, like a test bait, then you could just adjust accordingly. 

(5:02-5:12) It has been a fantastic journey. Yes, you have to put in the work and the effort. You have to put in that kind of focus.

How many episodes have you recorded? And where can I access these?

(6:23-6:55) Over the cost of few days concentrated, I had set aside some time. And so I think it took me about 3 to 4 days of recording and the whole journey was I think 55 episodes if I’m not mistaken, or 56. And then after that, it’s launched. So the whole idea then is you get into a group rather than spacing it out.

How Dr. John breakthrough his mindset

(8:05-8:11) A lot of it has to do with a certain sense of how perfect you want it - Perfection.

(8:22-8:24) The thing is to just let it go.

(8:27-8:33) Do not be worried about errors and then I realized maybe I should have a script.

(8:42-8:57) To in order to do that you need like x number, like 10,000 words. So can you make it if you write the script for everyone it’s gonna be a long time. So I did that for like about three episodes. It took a lot of effort.

(9:13-9:16) So for the next, 4th episode, well I just told my story.

(9:31-9:36) So here’s the thing. When you have that flow, very relaxed, wow!

(9:41-9:43) And before you know it you have your episodes.

(9:51-10:08) Go for excellence, yes, but not to the point of error-free perfection, it’s not gonna happen. Secondly, you have your story, let your story come up, and then from there it just flows, right? And do in batches because it does help it. 

Focusing on one specific content

(11:00-11:04) I think it’s more of bearing in mind who the audience is.

(11:31-11:33) So it comes out very naturally.

(11:38-11:43) You have that person in mind at first, and then from that, you develop. 

(12:28-12:38) The question would be firstly, “Why?”. And my answer was very simple, rather in a form of another question, another question is, “Why not?” 

(12:41-12:46) There’s not so much agenda as getting the job done.

(12:49-12:52) And I believe Genecia and the team has done it very very well.

How do you feel when you launched 55 episodes?

(13:53-13:57) Number 1, I felt very fulfilled and accomplished that this portion is done.

(14:06-14:18) The responses that came back, it was slowly. And when the full episodes came on and five came out and it was posted in more and more platforms. 

(14:24-14:26) And then the world starts spreading and sharing.

(15:15-15:18) When you want to do it, then you have to put your heart and mind to it.

What are the struggles or objections you have before doing the podcast?

(16:11-16:31) Number one, I don’t have enough things to say. Number 2, my voice don’t go enough. Number three, will people listen? And all these were just anxieties.

How are you going to find time to really work on your Season 2?

(18:31-18:42 ) I think I’m looking forward to getting those equipment in, and then find a way possible of doing it from my own computer with support.

(18:45-19:04) Number 2, of course, I’m listening to what the needs are. And they have shifted a little bit particularly because of this covid pandemic. There are certain sets of anxieties and certain fears that people may have that can be addressed in messaging as well.

(19:07-19:18) The issue then will be of prioritizing and putting the scheduling done correctly and then having the equipment support.

When there’s so much thing to share, how do you do it in 10 minutes? 

(20:35-20:51) Actually what I’ve found is that the topics, you just need to split up. And the only thing there is about having a few parts to the same topics but with different aspects. And having a story and a lesson to it is already 10 minutes.

(20:53-21:01) I also know that you need to bunch it so that it is just nice for consumption. It’s not too long, maybe boring.

(21:04-21:18) This is where I said if you have the life experiences, and I think you guys have, then it’s a method of looking into content and maybe draw the appropriate diagram.

(21:24-21:33) That’s where when the coaches come in. and to ask you questions about what can be flashed out deeper more according to your audience.

(21:35-21:58) For me, in ten minutes, just one point. The point is enriched with a story, with a lesson, and then a call to action or possibly what can be in the next episode. And so before you know you have about 4 or 5 episodes because you’ll do a wrap-up at the end as well.

How was the responses from your family? And did they have any objections when you shared with them that you’re gonna do the podcast?

(23:14-23:24) No objections at all. Basically, they see it as an extension of my work and my sharing. I’ve been devoting all these years to helping.

(23:27-23:39) I think one of the things that’s still not done yet which is getting a book out. So the next best thing to getting a book out is that you’re getting you’re podcast out.

(23:59-24:03)  To me, it has been an encouraging journey.

Season 2

(24:40) Think of going deeper and I’ll show thinking more about what’s happening and this Covid experience for many people and how are they dealing with uncertainty and the inner changes.

(25:29-25:40) I think I will grapple the depth. An...

FWEP00097- Untold Story of The World's Greatest Women With Genecia Alluora

Today’s woman grew up with little money and was supporting herself by the age of 14. During her teenage years, she was bullied and her self-esteem struggled. However along the way she was introduced to modeling and the world of beauty. She entered pageants and began winning. Her self-confidence grew as she won Ms. Singapore and was one of the Top 3 finalists in the Ms. Universe pageant. She dug deep into entrepreneur endeavors with Image consulting and a Cafe retail chain. There were partnerships along the way that worked and some that didn’t. But through it all, she never gave up on women and her ability to elevate them. Today through her Soul Rich Women brand, she mentors thousands of women to bring their business and leadership brands online. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Genecia Alluora.

Turn your mess into your message

(3:14-3:30) My first intuition and instinct was to resist because what my mother said sounds like “neggy” and a net to me. But when that got into my heart, that was when I started to see light at the end of the tunnel. 

(3:36-3:40) Being the youngest instructor in Singapore, many people laughed at me.

(3:45-4:29) I had to work doubly hard as a young person. And keeping in mind that even though we have passed, gone through the journey of not having enough and how can I turn this courage around to become something that I can share along, to my class students and also the people that surround me. So turning your mess into your message did not start at the right footing, it was only through self-reflection and knowing what upholds my mother’s values that helped me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Because I truly believe that when we have a diamond that is within us, we all deserve to shine.

Who you choose as your friends

(4:49-4:58) I think there are 3 things you wanna be looking at. Number 1, is not to look into the quantity of friends but look into the quality of friends.

(5:01-5:16) Friendships are bound to a test of time. You definitely need to know what and who to talk to and what to talk to. The easiest way for you to move into a group where friends can support you is to look for a ready community.

(5:33-5:40) Number 3, really look for people who are in a small group. That means you are doing beta testing.

(5:45-5:55) Never put all the eggs in the basket and get out there because you don’t know who to trust and that is always a question. Of course, we want to give the benefit of the doubt to people around us.

(5:57-6:05) But like I said, everything is built through the test of time. So what you can do is always start with a beta group. 

(6:14-6:28) In business, when you’re moving online as a newbie and you’re bringing to … ready to build your personal brand, look for a small group of 3 to 5 people whom you can mastermind with. A Beta group, a mastermind group, where you can feel it.

(6:37-6:39) Be a giver and not just a taker.

(6:45-6:58) So you really need to look into how you can contribute as well to the group so that everyone grows together to the next level, right? Because alone you are strong, together we are unstoppable.

 What did you learn that you’d want to tell other women about going into a partnership with someone?

(7:33-7:37) When you do a business with friends, you must first have rules.

(7:39-7:50) What is a “roles and responsibilities”? I think that would be one thing. That would be very clear. Secondly, you want to have the ability to have, you know, when you make money, what happens to the money.

(7:50-8:09) discuss about monetary issues. Discuss about money stuff, money ideas, money values, how can you cope with money. What if there are no customers, who's responsible for what, and how are you going to manage the cash flow of the entire business, which is the lifeline of the business. It’s not just about the profits that you are making but the cash flow.

(8:17-8:41) Last but not least, put in the effort and contribute. Be a giver and not just a taker. Do your part, play a hundred percent all out. If it doesn’t work, you will know by the end of the day. But at least you know that you’ve given your hundred and ten percent to the business, through that game, through that friendship, to that vision that you have in front of you.

(9:25-9:43) We will tend to trust women and we tend to trust more easily and we want to do more in the way that we want to contribute. In the end, sometimes, we are taken advantage of because we don’t know how to set personal boundaries and that is something that you really need to learn.

(9:54-9:58) Learn to agree to disagree

(10:01-10:02) and be okay with that.

Do you feel happy today? And what have you done differently to achieve this?

(10:15-10:25) I definitely feel so much happier today. I think being myself is one of the greatest gift that I have given myself since I have moved out from the entertainment industry.

(11:07-11:22) So really learning to accept myself and loving myself even more and be aligned with my mind, body, and soul to truly embrace that “Hey! This is who I am. Take it or leave it.”

Value Exchange

(12:46-12:58) So value exchange,  to my realization and through my self-reflection, simply means what value do you put on the table when someone sponsors you. What is the benefit? What’s in it for them? 

(13:12-13:48) Look into play “win-win”. Now “win-win” simply means that if they give you something, for example, they sponsor you series of trainings, they gonna get you grooming and department, and help you to present yourself beautifully and perfectly to win that title on stage or win that business. Then perhaps after you win, contribute back by being their ambassador. Let’s say for example 3 months, half a year, or even a year for X number of hours based on the value of the  duties that you are, kind of, matching in with the goods that has been sponsored to you. 

(13:50-13:52) As a way of Value-exchange.

(13:53-13:58) So for me, it’s definitely helped me to choose my sponsors wisely.

(14:05-4:10) First and foremost, I choose based on a few criteria. First, your values must be aligned with mine.

(14:18-14:19) Number two, who is your target audience?

(14:25-14:30) Are there people whom I hope to reach that I wasn’t able to and you are able to do that?

(14:31) Number three,

(14:33-14:50) How am I going to help you to spread your message of the awareness of brand message to my audience as well, and to my followers as well. So when you have these questions in your mind, it becomes a win-win situation. And that is my understanding of value exchange.

What’s the first thing businesswomen need to do if they want their business to go from offline to online?

(15:42-15:43) Find a coach.

(15:48-16:01) For me, I will take this path and I would tell myself I can go from this path the earliest and the fastest. I think that to me would shortcut my success even at a...

96: Build Connections And A Legacy Using Podcasting With Dr. John Tan (Season 2 Podcast U Shape)
 FWEP00096- Build Connections And A Legacy Using Podcasting With Dr. John Tan

Today’s special guest is Dr. John Tan. He is someone that I’ve known for 20 years as a volunteer with CARE Singapore- which is Children At Risk Empowerment. Today, Dr. John recorded two seasons of podcast shows. With his voice, his experience, his message is gonna touch and change the world and help more people to understand youth and help these youths at risk. Prevention is better than cure. 

Season 2: Every Youth Matters

(3:28-3:43) This is Dr. John Tan. I am the founding president of the Youth Work Association Singapore, as well as the Executive Director of Children At Risk Empowerment otherwise known as CARE Singapore.

(3:55-4:11) In Season 2 of “Every Youth Matters”, I have shared tips and strategies and ways to reach out to the young people because I have learned from my experiences and transform them into lessons.

(4:31-4:45) Season 2 was quite a journey for me. At the backend of it all, I would say I have succeeded in completing it. And despite the disruptions.

(4:47-5:18) The reason for me saying that is that we have laid up four recording days at the studio. And some of the days that we were about to record, we were interrupted to buy some renovation works that were done in the neighbors and that was a tough one because we have to time our recording around their renovation and it end up in a day where we could not record at all.

(5:21-5:32) The four days that were set aside we completed in actually 3 days minusing of that one day that was disrupted.

(5:33-5:36) So what then has taught me is that it’s possible.

(5:42-6:02) And this is particularly meaningful to me because it just reminds me that despite challenges we can overcome. As one of my favorite mentors, coaches like this, “Our problems may be tough, but remember we are always tougher.”

(6:04-6:06) I’ve managed to complete Season 2

(6:10-6:25) despite having a very busy schedule of presenting workshops and writing materials and training people. And all of that I’m so glad that I was able to accomplish

(6:27-6:41) Something that i wanted to do for quite a long bit and it has further embedded my legacy. And it has further given me the materials that are ready recorded down.

(6:44-7:05) A great sense of accomplishment that I have finished Season 2. And I’m also very very glad to be working with my new podcast coach Janet Aisyah and she has been a great help being beside me and giving me pointers.

(7:15-7:31) I believe that as the Season progress we have little episodes actually getting into a better rhythm and I think it’s all kudos to my podcast coach Janet Quek.

(7:41-7:58) There were some objections, there were some obstacles in the preparation. Well I’ve finished Season 1 and had already mixed some sort of loose plans to record Season 2.

PANDEMIC

(8:00-8:10) Along came the pandemic, The CoronaVirus Pandemic, and that meant we had to make all kinds of adjustments.  

(8:18-8:27) We can plan for the timing but we could not control it and so it came at a time where I had to contemplate

(8:29-8:31) doing this whole Season online.

(8:41-8:53) This was a challenge particularly during city breakout lockdown where we couldn’t go anywhere, we couldn’t get things delivered and all of that. So it was a big challenge.

(9:02-9:13) When face to face came in, and it meant that we could move about, there was the potential possibility of going to the studio to record it.

(9:16-9:22) Then there’s a big but because the “but” came from the wife who was concerned for me going out.

(9:24-9:28) Maybe when exposing myself into the community.

(9:31-9:39) That was slowly overcome by explaining to her the steps involved, what we were doing and all that.

(9:54-10:06) Moving into the studio and booking that 4 days that we could do the recording. So it was a learning process bit by bit.

Looking forward to “What’s next?”

(10:18-10:21)  I have to choose the number of episodes.

(10:24-10:28) I had more material than I needed for this Season. 

(10:31-10:37) The next point coming soon, will there be a Season 3? That’s a possibility. But before that.

(10:39-10:46) I had to then choose and decide the materials that I wanted to, to keep it concise to keep the rhythm going on, not to drag.

(10:53-11:13) When you got into a rhythm then I got into a pattern. I got to be able to know how to kind of demarket. How much material goes into each episode. Right, so that’s a learning point for me as well. And which then leads to, “Will there be a Season 3?” well it is highly possible.

(11:34-11:47) In the process of working, the mind gets stood up. The mind gets launched into new areas. So now in my mind I can almost see Season 3 forming.

(12:03-12:06) Going to it by conclusion for these whole Season 2

(12:09-12:13) My feelings has been something of a great accomplishment.

(12:15-12:24) because as part of my plan to leave a legacy of my lessons learned, I have embedded it further.

(12:34-12:43)  Meaning that I have forever archived my materials into resources that can benefit more people.

(12:45-12:51) I’m really really thankful and grateful to the team, instantpodcastleader.com

(12:53-13:10) And if you really really have a need or urge to have your voice heard and listened to, and like me living a legacy then I strongly encourage you to sign up for the program.

(13:16-13:23) When we raise our voices together, the words become more than just a phrase. 

(13:26) It becomes a movement and that our dreams are valid.

(13:36) That on your path, you are never denied. And you can be directed but you need to let your voice be heard.

Key takeaways:

1. Dreams are valid.
2. Look forward to what’s next.
3. It is possible to overcome challenges
4. We are always tougher than our problems
5. Let your voice be heard

95: Turn Your Fears Into Fuel In Podcasting With Deon Teh

FWEP00095- Turn Your Fears Into Fuel In Podcasting With Deon Teh

Today's special guest is Deon Teh. She is the winner of Elite Instant Podcast Leader Award as well as Platinum Instant Podcast Leader Award. She has done two Seasons of podcast bilingual. One season in english and one season in Mandarin. So today she’s gonna share with you from being a manager director of a company to beginning her journey of podcasting. Some of the fears and thoughts that she had and eventually overcame. And even though English is something that she had problems with, she thought that she would never be able to do it and yet she did it anyway. So let her story inspire you to turn your mess into your message and turn your fears into fuel.

Conquer your fears

(2:48-03:01) I truly agree that a podcast is not only about purely online presence  but most importantly it helps me sort out my thinking on my past.

(3:13-3:23) I successfully use my second language in Greece to present in my show. Something which I never thought was possible.

(3:44-4:09) One of my colleagues was curious about what I was doing and asked me what it was for. I’m proud to have my own podcast. And in Season 1, it has 55 episodes and can listen on more than 20 platforms all over the world.

(4:24-4:35) As a leader in a company, I'm concerned about how to really do business online for this modern world.

(4:37-4:56) I used to rely on books as my mentor. I was able to learn a lot from books that I read and they directed me to what I am. However, I need someone that understands the market and trends that where I am.

(5:02-5:22) At first, I joined the Soul Rich Women Blueprint. And I learned how to use modern technology to promote our product. However, I was craving for what is the next and I decided to join 4in1 group coaching. And after that I want to be more focused.

(5:28- 5:48) I want to help my company to go online. Well, undergoing mentorship, Genecia told me that in order for me to help my company, I need to build my own brand first. Then I realized that I forgot to love myself first before loving others.

(5:50-6:08) I told Genecia that I wanted to publish my own book in the near future during our mentorship and she advised me to take up the podcast, which is the fastest way to boost my authority especially as I’m a leader to my company.

(6:12-6:24) I was not clear on my life purpose and journey. Through doing the podcast, I was able to find my direction and it was also a soul-healing journey for me.

(6:35-7:01) I was camera shy and I’m unable to express myself nicely if i were to be on a live podcast or a video recording. Of course, I have many fails before doing my work. People look at me, what if I cannot take it, the comments. With the help of my podcast coach Joanne Lee, I was able to overcome my fears. 

(7:02-7:22) And since Soul Rich Woman helps with 95% of the work behind the scenes, the production system by them. And I don’t have to worry about any administration task, i just concentrate to write the script and dig deeper myself.

(7:31-7:50) Genecia, being my guide, told me that I can use my past experiences. Transform it to tell people my story, and people who listen can benefit from my experiences and have a guide also, and maybe can shortcut their necessary path

(7:58-8:20) How would people react? Am I sure I want to continue? And I’m not that professional as others that are well-trained. However, after discussing with Genecia, I have confidence that the team was helpful and helped me to overcome this and I went ahead to do my podcast show.

(8:22-8:56) I was also feeling anxious and uncomfortable about sharing my story and being truthful about what I feel deep inside. But realizing that this is me and people hearing my story, they suffer real deal. I still went ahead with everything that came from my heart. Understanding that my intention is to share and inspire, and not to criticize or destroy other people's lives.

(8:58-9:02) Gave me the courage to go out and do the podcast. 

(9:04-9:21) Initially, I have to convert my writing for podcast episodes into english. I got tired. And so I have to use up a lot of energy, thinking of what to say and sitting on the table to think about my past.

(9:49-10:08) Having launched the podcast, I am also anxious about what would happen next. Then by going back to understand my intention and my goal that this would be about doing something positive for me and for others especially for the working mothers.

(10:09-10:20) And by knowing that I have a strong team of Soul Rich Womans to support me, my worries are temp and controlled.

(10:33-10:41) I feel that I am also blessed to have crossed paths with Soul Rich Woman team who could help me make it possible.

(10:42-10:56) Launching the podcast gave me great happiness. There I was able to share my message so instantly to the public. And I’m the first listener to my own podcast episode every week.

(11:12-11:33) And  I continued to hide under my fears, I would have not touched people's hearts and most importantly my family’s hearts. I have also proven that this is never too late to learn something new. There’s no right or wrong but this is about taking action.

Key Takeaways:

1. Your dreams are valid.
2. It is time to get your voice heard
3. It is never too late to learn something new.
4. Overcome your fears.
5. Touch other people’s lives.

94: Get Your Brave On and Take Some Serious Biz Building Action Using Podcast With Dr Yong Hsin Ning
 

FWEP00094 Get Your Brave On and Take Some Serious Biz Building Action Using Podcast With Dr Yong Hsin Ning 

Today's guest, we have Dr. Yong Hsin Ning. She is my mentee. She’s completed on the season of her podcast. Podcasting is something that I highly recommend the women in our community to embark on, because it’s relatively easier to share your content without showing your face. And I know that many of you are shy of showing your face. So I’ll let  her share with you her journey, her lessons learned and some of the wrap up that she has for you. Enjoy today’s episode!

Impact of Embarking on Dr. Yong Hsin Ning’s journey

(02:26-02:42) The journey started with a conversation with Genecia, my business mentor. That pretty much went like this:

 “Hey! Hsin Ning, are you interested in doing  a podcast?”

“Oh. yeah sure! I love to talk.”

Ok, the rest is history.

(2:57-3:17) 10 months into my journey and I was obviously way off in my expectations, in a good way. Square Apple show now is downloaded by listeners across ten countries. I also received personal notes about how people are impacted by the messages in my podcast. 

(3:44-4:10) When I started to prepare for the podcast, I had some ideas in mind,  what I wanted to focus on which was around my success. Organizational change and my entrepreneurship journey. But increasingly I realized that everything and anything I wrote kind of converted to a framework that I used to see and do things differently.

(4:12-4:27) So after writing 55 episodes and about 82,500 words later, I developed the Square Apple Mindset framework which is a systematic way for people to see ten times more opportunities in their careers and businesses.

(4:36-4:45) This method helps people to see opportunities that they usually miss and it gives them the courage to take action and pursue those opportunities.

(4:54) And I developed a set of frameworks that sets me apart from other business advisers or change management consultants.

(5:03-5:20) Secondly, it helps me in developing valuable assets that I can use for my teaching and my business. I have repurpose podcast content into an ebook, into prompt cards, into teaching materials and I’m in the process of creating a digital course as well.

(5:31-5:50) The third and final impact is to other people. In a way, this impact is a different side of the coin from the first impact. The first impact talks about how I got clarity. This impact is about how this clarity, then translates to helping other people do things differently.

(5:52-6:00) My passion is to help people see things in a different light from what they have been used to. Especially for business owners and entrepreneurs. 

(6:16-6:27) So by telling people, “You have to think out of the box.”, is very tough because people first, they don’t even know what’s in their box and they don’t know what’s outside the box. So it really doesn’t help.

(6:29-6:40) So the consistent feedback that I have from the people that I work with is that the messages that I shared is very particle. So it’s easy for people to apply it to their careers or businesses.

(6:42) The final impact that I want to share is that the podcast has been effective in helping me become a good coach to my audience who are really fellow entrepreneurs who are on their business building adventure. 

Challenges to overcome

(7:21-7:31) The first obstacle for me is finding the time to write the podcast script. The way that I prepare for the podcast is to write out the entire script. 

(8:28-8:42) You know when you aim high, you may fall a little short. But if you don’t aim high, you will fall very short. So setting a tangible goal and breaking it down into baby-steps help me overcome this obstacle.

(8:44-9:01) The second obstacle is figuring out what to write. So even though I can find the time to write, it’s not that easy to just write. Sometimes I don’t even have a block of two hours and I need to squeeze it in between meetings.

(9:02-9:13) I have done two things to overcome this obstacle. The first thing is to constantly look out for things and make note of the interesting stuff that I come across and I can write about.

(9:19) The second thing that I have done is to create a very structured template for my podcast script. 

(9:45-10:01) This template is a lifesaver because I can actually start writing once I hit the computer. No doubt our podcast episodes will flow exactly in the same way but atleast all the big blocks of the content are there.

(10:04-10:06) It really, really saved a lot of time.

(10:12-10:22) Podcast is a really variable option for you to consider if you want to do something meaningful for yourself and for others.

Key Takeaways:

1. Podcasting can be your catalyst to change your life.
2. Always put in effort to prepare a podcast.
3. Less is more.
4. Set a goal.
5. Aim high!

 FWEP00093 Quit Your 9 to 5 Job With Confidence And Invest In Yourself With Janet Aisyah Quek

Today we have a special guest. Her name is Janet Aisyah Quek. She is a corporate narrative employee with more than 25 years of experience in HR Asia-Pacific Region. And today she’s here to share with you her results and her journey of launching two years. I would say, the second year of her podcast show that has been batched  because she is busy at work so we helped her to batch out her content and launch her second season of her show. So she’s here today to share with you her journey and her thoughts about the entire experience. I hope there’s something for you to think about on how you are creating your content, how you’re launching consistently, and be amazing! Remember you have a diamond that is within you and you deserve to shine.

Launching the Podcast Season 2

(02:05-3:08) Launching the Podcast Season 2 embetter my life instantly in 2020. I truly agree that our podcast is not only about building online presents but most importantly online credibility and recognition by showing up consistently. I have been “hey hunted”  more than ten times directly from companies and recruiters in three months from Asia-Pacific, US, and Europe. Even in this Covid19 situation, I realized that my message has embetter more people than I ever thought it could now. We have listeners and followers in nine countries in just 3 months. After awarded platinum instant podcast leader, I have garnered more than a hundred likes in social media in one post and some friends commented that now I am like a queen and I have drawn attention to new connections who are keen to know what I am doing and how podcasts can help them.

(03:24-3:47) My children are now used to me doing my work as podcast host, though knowing that I have left my corporate job. Initially, my youngest son told me that doing podcasts is not working, but I have to explain to him how this will help me in my business. To bring my business online and also help me be seen as a leader online.

(04:07-5:13) I was given an opportunity to share a National Achiever Congress Virtual Global Platform with my Mentor Genecia and my podcast coach Joanne Lee. I have done more than 14 times facebook live in 2 months. This was not possible if I had not started my instant podcast leader show on Women Leadership. It has helped me to set a routine though I am not working and I have to do this recording from home. I get to learn about setting my mental state of mind and getting myself into the momentum to do my podcast recording. That is where I was able to complete my 2 years of podcast content in less than three months. As I keep the momentum to complete the season 2, I am able to think on the spot. Whatever topic that came to my mind and also the content is free-flow and because I have the proven structure system and process that I followed through from Season 1 to Season 2. This is possible that I am able to do it.

(5:16-5:29) When I got to start the podcast Season 2, I was not sure that this is something that I want to continue or just wait to see what results I have after launching Season 2 over a year before embarking on my Season 2.

(05:44-5:57) I realized that time flies so fast and it has been 9 months since I quit my last job. So I decided to use this time to continue Season 2 so that I will have 2 years ahead of content.

(06:06-07:01) And I saw how my Season 1 has helped me to get least inquiries and my first two sweet clients. I do not have any income since August 2019 as I left my corporate job to care for my late mom before she passed on late November 2019. I will be spending on my savings which meant to last longer should I not able to get a suitable job. And I had to cut down on other expenses during this time to continue to invest in myself and prepare myself. And then I thought that I really want to achieve my dream. Since I have been a corporate for more than 25 years, I want to achieve my dream as to be an online entrepreneur. And that is where I decided to continue to invest in myself  even though I’m not working.

(07:04-7:24) When I realized that I can actually earn more the moment I have built my reputation online by showing up and having my voice heard. People will come to know who I am and what I stand for. People will start to support me, to trust me, just like Hey Hunters who approached me instead of me going to them. 

(07:41-7:45) Before, I can’t even see any income coming in.

 (09:03-9:18) Genecia and Joanne explained to me that they will support and guide me to do it online. I just need to follow what they need me to do. Having the whole Soul Rich Women team put me at ease knowing that I just have to focus on my script and they do the rest.

(09:29-9:42) As I’m not sure if I have enough topics to share in Season 2, my mentors, Genecia, spent time with me to draw out my experience and content and guided me to position myself with the topics I could share. 

 (10:04-10:26) Another issue I have was time. Even though I'm not working at the moment, I have to juggle when my helper had to go back to Manila to attend to her family due to an emergency matter. So I had to attend to my children, household, and cooking during that period of time when I was embarking on Season 2.

(11:01-11:08) On top of all those issues, I have fears on the outcome if I will be repeating myself in some of the topics.

(11:13-11:22) but because it has been my dream to reach out to my first 10,000 audience in 3 years, so I need to continue to build my content and keep me going.

(11:31-11:41) Podcast is a marketing vehicle that can be used again and again for life and it is also a legacy that I can leave for my children and  grandchildren. 

(11:59-12:16) Understanding that my intention is to share and inspire and not to criticize or destroy other people's lives. It gave me the courage to continue despite the hard work and for me to continue my Season 2 Podcast Recording. 

(13:22-13:36) I have been getting attention on some responses that they see me as an expert in podcast leader online in Social Media and even refer someone to me to learn from me and to get to know how to do this podcast show.

(13:38-14:01) Having launched Season 2, I am also anxious about what will happen next. Somehow I’m looking forward to launching Season 3 with a new level of perspectives and  new learning in the next phase. By going back to understanding my intentions and remind myself why I started, this will be about doing something positive for me and for others.

(14:09-14:38) So having your family and friends to support you in what you are doing, and giving you the understanding of your journey you wish to embark on is already a great encouragement. Not to mention that having the Soul Rich Woman Team is the Rocket Launcher.
