Master Coaching with Ajit

In this episode, Ajit Nawalkha interviews Vishen Lakhiani, the CEO and co-founder of Mindvalley. Vishen tells a little bit of his background as a meditation teacher, how he found the seed to create the company now known as Mindvalley, and how to create good products if you’re in the coaching industry. Vishen also shares 5 special principles called The CCMAI Principles which can truly change any person, if applied with intention.

“The funny thing about going into meditation is that it transforms other aspects of you. You become more in tune with compassion, you become more in tune with your heart.” – Vishen Lakhiani

Vishen touches on some particular topics about the power of transformation and how it is genuinely related to lessons, both for the person teaching and for the person learning. In contrast, Vishen explains that not all transformations are organic and from nowhere. Sometimes you can simply create it.

“Transformation is not forgettable. In fact, it is defined as a perspective shift that is irreversible.” – Vishen Lakhiani

Join Ajit Nawalkha and Michael Neill as they have a really honest chat about how managing a coaching business, and all types of businesses actually, is really a matter of goodwill. Michael explains that every business owner has a different learning curve and comprehending that difference is the very first step in achieving success.

“Almost nobody believes that you can do what you really want to do, follow your inclinations, and be successful.” – Michael Neill

In this episode, you will learn that your inclinations and preferences as a person, as a human being, are unique. Arriving where you want to arrive is simply the result of accepting that uniqueness.
