High Value Skills | Start An Online Business & Make Money Doing What You Love!

On today's episode of Mindset Hackers I give you a Mindset Hack that will help you stay the course when building a business, starting a podcast, creating a new social media presence, writing a book or any other long term endeavor. 

You know the feeling of starting something new, its exciting to think of the possibilities and you can be driven for the first few months, but then reality sets in and you don't feel like you are getting anywhere. 

This is the feeling of 'It's not happening', and this feeling is where most people quit, then later in life realize they shouldn't have given up and regret not staying on the path.

The thing you don't realize is IT IS HAPPENING, and this is a major blind spot that you must avoid if you want to eventually experience the event. 

What we are experiencing now is not what we are creating now, we are experiencing what we created in the past, and what we are creating now we will experience years in in the future. 

Let's dive into a couple of ways to look at your perception of time a bit differently and help you create more patience when working towards very large goals. 

Upgrade your mindset by learning the latest hacks to help you create the life that you deserve.

There are several things you can do (and avoid) when wanting to create more abundance in life.  By abundance, I don't mean just money, but love, time, opportunity and more.  In this video, neuroscientist Kevin Bailey and I sit down and jam out about what I call "Abundance Facilitators" that turbo charge the feeling of having more than enough of what you need.  

Abundance isn't a set amount of anything, it isn't a number in your bank account, it isn't a certain net worth, it isn't the amount you are making.  If you don't 'feel' like you have more than enough, then the amount of whatever you are seeking really doesn't matter.  Kevin and I both share our number 1 abundance facilitators.  

Also make sure to check out my other podcast about 8 things that will cramp your style when it comes to living an abundant life. When you combine your abundance facilitators with letting go of the things that keep you from it, you'll see your world unfold in a different way!  Let's connect on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonwpar...

In this episode I share a 20 minute impromptu interview with Chantel Boyd who has an incurable form of cancer but lives a life of absolute positivity. According to her, a positive mindset is the only prognosis. Chantel tells her story of extreme adversity from a very young age. Her father took his life when she was just a child, then her house burned down with all of their belongings, her dear mother received a traumatic brain injury and then she was diagnosed with cancer and has had multiple surgeries. There is no cure for her form of cancer and the bills have been overwhelming, yet she lives a life of positivity.

This is a recording of a live group Zoom call with Hallie Avolio of the Sassy AF Audio Experience where we discuss imposter syndrome in depth. This isn't a webinar but an interactive chat where we take on questions, share stories and connect our audience with each other.   

Imposter Syndrome is the feeling of 'who am I to do this'? 

It's the feeling of 'what if people find out I'm a fraud...' even though you are perfectly capable.  

It's the feeling of 'why would anyone listen to me'? Because you compare yourself to others that are better than you.  

The good thing is most of us feel Imposter Syndrome to some degree, and it means you are pushing yourself into new areas.  

We share stories, tips, and at the end I ask the audience to journal on the following questions: 

1 - Are you going to let fear hold you back, or courage push you forward? (courage)  

2- Are there people who know less about your topic or skill that you can help? (of course there are, more than you can handle)  

3- What is the cost of opportunity if you don't pursue your greatness? (regret, income, fulfillment, growth)  

4 - Are you being selfish by keeping your talents to yourself? (yes you are, share them)  

5- What type of person will you become if you go down this path? (a bad ass)  

6- Is your imposter syndrome real or perceived? (perceived)

"What I was able to attend was fantastic. ❤️ Great job! I love your energy!" Margie C. 

"Your zoom meeting was fantastic. I so appreciate you’re letting me attend." Joyce T.

"Tonight's jam session was AWESOME." Amy P. 

"I was so grateful to be a part of tonight's session.  Thanks again for making me feel so welcome." Joy H.

I found a penny the other day and told my boy to come get it and put it in his bank.

"LinkedIn has crossed the chasm into Facebook territory, where you can literally do anything." Gary Vaynerchuk  

This is a live Zoom call I did with several small business owners, coaches, instructors and people interested in the organic growth of LinkedIn.   We talked about the changes LinkedIn has been making to a content delivery platform and why there is so much opportunity for small business (including coaches, instructors, creatives, fitness professionals, etc.).  

"Like if you sell puppies, or ice cream, or candles, or T-shirts, or have a club–you can have a LinkedIn presence. Same if you’re a financial advisor, a lawyer, or you’re trying to sell concrete to a B2B executive. I genuinely believe they all can play." Gary continues.  

The biggest question is about engagement and how to get your posts seen. There are so many individuals with a vast network and not much engagement when they post, I share the formula for how to create engagement.   

I also asked a wide range of questions sent in from colleagues who could not be on the call, questions like 'is it OK to post personal content'. We also had Judy Horton sharing statistics in regards to LinkedIn as well as information about the value of having Business Pages on LinkedIn.

In this interview I go deep with Sheri St. Marie on becoming aligned with your true self, self love, confidence and how to lean into the voice that is holding you back. We talk about the forces that influence us from childhood and create limiting beliefs, and how the #1 regret of the dying is 'not living a life that is true to myself'. We get into some great practices on how powerful it is to be more authentic and vulnerable, as well as how social media gives us a platform to lean into our insecurities.   #selflove #selfimage #confidence

Do you hit the snooze button in the morning 3 times before you get up? Then peel yourself out of that nice and comfy bed, at the expense of running behind?

I heard a quote from Rachel Hollis that said: "If you hit the snooze button, you are breaking a promise to yourself before you even open your eyes.

Ouch! But I like it! 

If you choose option B, to wake up and control your alarm, instead of the alarm controlling you, you have had your very first one of the day as the first thing you do. This sets the tone for the day. 

In this episode, I'll give you the behind the scenes on my morning routine that allows me to CRUSH my day and makes it so hard to get derailed. 

Let me know if you have a morning ritual or morning routine and what it looks like. 

Take care my friends!
