Episode 23: Rebecca Mountain - How To Make An Impact First Then Money Will Follow

Gold Nuggets in this Episode: "You don't have to be a millionaire to be wealthy." Entrepreneurs need to find the balance between income and impact. "Learn and help learn." Rebecca went through the learning process herself, learnt from it, and experienced it, and she is now helping others go through that transformation as well. Many entrepreneurs are in a fixed mindset where they compare themselves to others, are afraid of losing money and customers, and give themselves labels. "You know you've made serious growth when you're able to teach people what you have done, and use your story as a launchpad." "I look at success not as the size of my bank account, or how many clients I have. Success is: did I make a contribution today?" Rebecca shares a valuable lesson with entrepreneurs about consistency and how the compound effect of that effort will guarantee results. Many entrepreneurs have misconceptions about hiring business coaches, and have the mindset that they need to work harder for longer hours to get where they want to go. "The most successful people know how to do one thing exceptionally well: they ask." "If your belief system is counter to what you're trying to achieve, you cannot move ahead." "Beliefs are thoughts thought often enough." If we become used to thinking negatively about ourselves, we create habits that reinforce the feeling of failure. The one message that cannot be said enough is "you're enough." "There's no such thing as an entrepreneurial deficiency. There is only entrepreneurial learning and training that needs to happen, and it cannot be done alone." "Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be." – Wayne Dyer   Our guest is Rebecca Mountain, digital marketing consultant, certified high performance coach, and best-selling author of Think Again. Rebecca's goal is to help as many people as possible live happier, wealthier, and more fulfilled lives. Song by Adam Vitovsky / CC BY 3.0
