In the latest episode of my podcast, I quote Tony Robbins’ mentor Jim Rohn. He says, “Don’t let your learning lead to knowledge, let your learning lead to action”.

It's just me on this episode you guys! The reason for this is I really want to put a laser focus on one of the biggest areas many of you are struggling with, and that's visibility.

*Celebrate the haters!

*Despite all your social media posts, do you feel like no one's really listening?

Tony Robbins – I Am Not Your Guru

In the latest episode of my podcast, I quote Tony Robbins’ mentor Jim Rohn. He says, “Don't let your learning lead to knowledge, let your learning lead to action”. I can't stress the importance of this enough and that's what I want to talk about in this week's Maven Mini.

It's ingrained in us healers to be knowledge seekers. I'm addicted and I get shiny object syndrome all the time. At the end of the day though, it's all about what you do with that knowledge. You can have all the knowledge in the world, but if you take no action, it's simply useless.

You have to use your knowledge to conquer goals. If you want to make 100K a year, then you need to narrow your goal down per quarter, and then per month. And during those four weeks, how many clients do you need to see in order to realistically get there? It really does need to get that specific, that tactical, and that clear!

A lot of you - no, all of you are completely frozen, you're completely overwhelmed. You have so many things you want to achieve and all this knowledge to get out there, but you're scattered; and when you're scattered, nothing is getting done. You need to go back to what is the goal and be very intentional with how you are going to get there. When you do this, then every single day you're taking action, and chipping away at your goal.

Tony Robbins – I Am Not Your Guru

I know I just swore! I don’t do it often, but I just want to stress the importance of this. This topic has been on my mind a lot lately, especially because I was close to losing it this past week. I know I’ve spoken a lot about the importance of surrounding yourself with community […]

On this interview, Stacy and I talk about the hustle and the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. Stacy Hartmann started out in corporate, has been in business for the last five years, and has had her own online business for the last two. Stacy talks about breaking through barriers and as you reach new ceilings as an entrepreneur, how those barriers never really go away. Towards the end, Stacy even flips the interview on me and asks me a couple of questions! I think the biggest takeaway is that success is about defining how you want to feel, not how you think you should feel.

 

Key Insights & Aha Moments:

*Hustle never really goes away.

*Thank you so much for your feedback.

*Who is Stacy? She is a business strategist and coach.

*Stacy went from teaching at-risk kids success strategies to entrepreneurs.

*Does success really matter?

*Success is anything you want it to be. 

*Stacy's secret sauce was when she hired her first high-end mentor. She spent $7,500 to spend half a day with this person.

*Within two months of making that kind of investment, Stacy 4x her rates and did it fearlessly.

*Sometimes you just don't know what you don't know.

*We can't really help anybody without closing the sale.

*What kind of business challenges has Stacy faced?

*Stacy has found that when she's hit a wall and feels like giving up, she always finds a breakthrough shortly after it.

*So many people think that once they have clients or more income, they'll be home free. However, both Stacy and I had those things and we still felt like something was missing.

*It boils down to your personal fulfillment. You can have a ton of business goals and still feel empty on the inside.

*Stay tuned to my personal story about success and what it means to me at the end of the interview!

 

Maven Moment:

I loved when Stacy talked about defining your own success. As many of you know, I built a very successful brick and mortar business, but after achieving business milestone after business milestone and hitting those goals, I still wasn't fulfilled, at least not in the way I thought I'd be once I got to the end of the road. I still felt like something was missing and that something was just the fact that I wasn't living my life the way I wanted to. I wasn't putting my most authentic self forward and I knew something had to change. What I learned at the end of the day is that, success is about defining how you want to feel in your life and in your business. How do you feel now? Send me an email or comment!

I know I just swore! I don't do it often, but I just want to stress the importance of this. This topic has been on my mind a lot lately, especially because I was close to losing it this past week. I know I've spoken a lot about the importance of surrounding yourself with community and like-minded peers before. It's also great to have a spouse or a partner, best friend, or family member to support you, but we all know as business owners, those aren't always the best people to talk to you about business-related issues. As much as you love them, sometimes they just don't understand!

So, I'm really going back to the power of community. The issue I was having came to me last week and it was unknown. I needed to process this, but I couldn't really go out and talk to people about this issue right away. So, I lost my sh*t instead and let it all out in front of my mastermind sisters. I wasn't necessarily looking for any feedback, just a place to vent.

Okay, here's why this was so important. My issue happened on a Monday night and Tuesday morning I showed up at my business and I was a complete mess. I couldn't focus! As soon as I was able to vent, I was able to move forward on my business and keep things flowing smoothly. The key thing is whatever is happening in your personal life will trickle into your business life, so you need to fix it ASAP!

As one of my mentors likes to say, you can have a bad day, but you can not have a bad week as an entrepreneur! It will crush you. It will really crush you. So, it's kind of funny how life tends to circle around. My issue happened about a week or two ago, but the same type of problem happened to one of my clients recently. Meaning! If I didn't have a community to vent to, then I wouldn't have even been able to help my client. Of course, I told her the same advice. Do you have a place to lose your Sh*t?
