The Business Freedom Show

You may get a sense for what the phrase, 'addiction to failure' means. When I hear that I immediately think of all the negative self talk that runs through my mind, when I'm not paying attention. But what could addiction to success possibly look like?!?

In this interview Angela Gower-Johnson explains both. And more importantly, how to gently yet purposely direct your mind to think more positive, success thoughts and gradually become "addicted" to success. It is possible and she gives us some simple steps to achieve it in this interview.

Don't miss the end of the interview when Angela explains how many in the spiritual community try to "bribe" the universe into getting what they want, and how and why that doesn't work. She gives a great example from her own life and explains the missing piece to manifesting that many of us miss.

From an early age, Angela has been gifted with an ability to perceive people’s energy and thoughts. That gift, along with her natural curiosity led her on a decades-long journey of spiritual and personal development that has borne incredibly powerful tools that yield results for anyone who uses them, within a remarkably short time.

Today, Angela provides coaching and consulting services to entrepreneurs, coaches and artists who are eager to embark on their own quest for their ultimate dream.

So, you’ve discovered that your life experiences, your knowledge and your training have all led you to realize that you have a talent, a gift for helping others in a specific area. And you’ve decided to use that talent to create a business. You’re a coach, a healer … a consultant or some form of helping professional.

And that leads you to realize that to reach people and make an impact .... you must also become a business person - an entrepreneur.

And that, no matter how many courses and certifications or degrees you have in your field you need to now learn about and embrace business and marketing to actually make an impact.

Today’s discussion is all about the business end. The business stuff you can’t ignore or get around ….. clarity, goals, problem solving. These are things that any entrepreneur – no ma tter how talented they are in their area of expertise …. Must embrace … to get their talents, their gifts out to the world.

According to today's guest, Amethyst Mahoney, “The information age is dead. Now we need to create space to allow people to process information”.

So if you're discouraged because your posts on your Facebook business page are reaching no one ... unless and until you shell out some dough for advertising ... don't dismay. It turns out that Facebook groups are fast becoming THE way to attract and engage potential clients now anyway. And the best part? They're free, they reach people you may be trying to attract ... and they're a great forum for engagement.

In this no-fluff interview Amethyst does a great job of explaining how to use Facebook groups to create a space to deliver value, showcase your expertise and allow people to get to know, like and trust you ... on their terms.

• how to build a community and attract your ideal client on Facebook

• how to convert your community to paying clients

• how to set up a challenge to sell into your program

I'm always looking for ways or systems to better understand my clients and for them to understand themselves. The more light we can shed on how we naturally function in the world, the better equipped we are at succeeding in business. I came across Human Design over 20 years ago and was fascinated by the complexity of the system and it's focus on helping people understand how they are "designed" to operate in the world. Including the way they process information and make decisions - which is a critical piece for anyone to know about themselves in pursuing entrepreneurship.

Human Design is a synthesis of eastern and western astrology, the I Ching, the Chakra system, Kabbalah and Quantum Physics. On a more practical level, it’s a tool, an electrical map that shows you how you process energy.

In this interview, Human Design Trainer Karen Curry Parker explains how it is basically a map that shows you who you are, what you’re here to do, how you should go about doing it.

Karen Curry Parker is a Human Design Specialist, trainer, professional speaker and #1 best-selling author on the topic and truly the go-to authority on Human Design and really lays out the basics of this system as it pertains to business in a very simple and concise way in this fascinating interview.

• the tweaks each type can make make in your business to increase their impact

We are wired to survive. Not to thrive. The goal of our inner critic is to keep us safe. And when you’re running your own business, you’re taking risks left and right.

So the only way we can override that programming is to have a strong vision to latch onto. And yet so few entrepreneurs are in touch with that vision. Without it, when the going gets tough, it's the ones without a strong vision that will jettison.

In this interview, Krista Martin leads us through a profound visualization exercise for getting clarity on our vision.

You are just one day spent researching a topic on Google away from creating an information product that you can sell on the Internet. Even if it's a topic you know nothing about.

Millions and millions of dollars have been made this way.

Todays guest, Bill Hugall says, "Creating a product isn’t hard. People are looking for information and they’re willing to pay for it. So even if you don’t know a lot about a subject, if you were to spend a day researching, you’re going to know a lot more than the average person."

"Creating a product is nothing more than compiling a bunch of information that makes people’s lives easier, charging a premium for it and following a very simple sales process while doing it."

In the coaching/consultant solo-preneur world, WE are the product. Our services and the programs we create are the product and where we intersect the world of Internet Marketer is in the marketing & sales process.

The good news for us coaches is that we already have the product - us! Now we just need to perfect our marketing ... and that is where we can learn a lot from Internet entrepreneurs like Bill.

Picture this: You have 3 kids and a thriving virtual business that consumes every minute your non-family time … and then you discover that you’re pregnant with baby number 4. A little girl.

That’s where Peace Mitchell was several years - A successful yet demanding business, and a baby on the way.

Something had to give and she decided it wasn’t going to be her family. So she re-read Tim Ferriss’s book, "The 4 Hour Work Week", put those principles into place and within 6 months was able to reduce her work day to 3 hours, and ….. double her income.

She accomplished this NOT by adding more things to her plate, but by eliminating things. Getting rid of all the side projects, all the non-essentials, prioritizing and focusing in on the core elements of the business.

Formerly a teacher, Peace craved the flexibility, freedom and creativity that being a stay-at-home "MumPreneur" affords so she founded The AusMumpreneur Network with her sister, Katy to share, support and co-create with other moms who were looking to create their own dream business and life.

The AusMumpreneur Network now has over 17,000 members, hosts an annual conference and awards show, and is Australia’s #1 Network for mumpreneurs.
