So welcome to the Bea Bold in Business podcast and I cannot wait for you to take your invitation to be bold in your business too. Our deepest fears, so I think this is really important to discuss and hence why I'm quoting a podcast episode for it because we need the time to really dig deeper into this concept and into this mindset that we have. So the title of this is Around Our Deepest Fears and I think we need to really reframe how we are doing things because here's the thing, if someone said to you, this is your last week on earth, I don't think you would be worrying about algorithms and hashtags and how many people have had your emails. You'd be worrying and thinking about how you can enjoy and enrich your life the most.
Have you achieved the goals that you've set yourself? Have you made the most of the life that you've been given? Have you taken the chances? Have you taken those risks?
And the reason I'm sharing this is we can get so bogged down with what could go wrong or why this isn't right, that we then stay in this bogged down energy almost forever. So then it never changes. You know, we never in a situation where we do take that risk, take that leap, do that thing because we worry that it's just too much. And then your life rather becomes about living.
It just becomes about surviving. And this is so true as well. And you then think about your business. How's your business almost just become this constant source of survival?
You know, every single month, are you just focusing on how to survive that month? Are you focusing on how to just get the most out of your, you know, your services, how to get new people in, how to sell, you know, you're just you're constantly just on this, this battle, you know, with your own business, you just feel like it's a constant battle. And I'm pretty sure that that isn't why you went into this. And I see this at every stage.
So in my shift to close membership, there's two pods, part that one pod, which is more around newer business owners and a second pod, which is for established business owners. And even in, even in there, they all have different challenges, but around the same thing. And a lot of it comes through this source of fear, this ideology around risk or, you know, am I ready inside my standard mastermind, which is for those that are consistent, five to eight came months and really want to start breaking through that income barrier, start increasing the monthly revenue, really take their business to that next level. They have the same thing.
And it's really important that we recognize these, that this idea of fear can stop us or it can motivate us. And this is where you've got to be really mindful yourself is, have the fears that you've got currently, whether it is a fear of money, a fear of failing, a fear of even succeeding, has that fear just been the same for let's say the last six to 12 months? Has it always been a fear? Is it a constant underlying narrative that you're using and saying to yourself?
Because if you are finding yourself where the fear is now just almost your story, then that's become your reality. It's not fear anymore. It's just your reality. It's how you're living.
And that can be really, really difficult to make changes from. It can be a really difficult place to actually start to see results. And the other reason that I'm talking about is now is as I'm recording this podcast, I'm also relaunching the summer sprint, which is my eight week group coaching program for a maximum of eight women who have found themselves getting to the halfway point of the year and they're not where they want to be. The results aren't where they know that they could be.
They may be lost motivation. They've become disheartened or deflated and they're just now in this source of survival. So the summer sprint is about giving you accountability, momentum and consistency and therefore setting you up for the rest of 2023 to be a success, setting you up for being able to generate that momentum, stay consistent and actually have the accountability to take that action rather than just finding yourself in these slumps and kind of this stuckness. And the reason I created this is because my expand mastermind is 12-month mastermind.
You know if you're ready for that. You know if you are in the right space for that support and you really want to take your business to the next level, you know that. And my shift close membership doesn't reopen until October. So I'm in a situation where I really want to help those of you because I see it.
I see it all the time that are in this kind of stuck energy and therefore everything becomes scary because you haven't been able to generate or move forward in the way that you really wanted to. But whatever reason, it then becomes really scary. Like will it ever happen? Now do I need to just focus on low cost offers?
Now do I need to just focus on making the most out of what I'm currently doing? Or whatever it might be, we end up restricting ourselves and you're thinking becomes a real place and state of survival. And I really want you to be thinking about this idea of your deepest fears, you know. And I know we can talk about this all the time, but it's so true.
No one regrets what they have done because it's taught them something. We regret what we don't do and you get left with what ifs. You get left with doubts. You get left with this hypothesis of if only, you know, you get left with this idea of, should I?
Could I have? What would have been different? Whereas whenever you do something, you don't have that deal. When you do take action, you don't have this idea of, oh, should I?
Would I? What if? Because you've done it. So when you've done it, it might not worked the way you wanted it to.
It might fall on its face or it might have succeeded and thrived. But either way you know, why would we want to choose to live a life of unknowns when life can be hard enough as it is, you know, relationships, health. A success. All of these things are intangible.
Why would we then choose to live in this more intangible, unknown space by just listening to this concept of fear and not doing anything? And I speak to clients all the time, but let's say become disheartened because they didn't sell what they wanted to or the launched and go to plan. Why are we disheartened by that? Because you've bloody done something about it.
You have tried to change your reality and your circumstance. You put yourself out there and you've taken a risk that needs celebrating. Not enough people live like that and do that. So why are we disheartened by the fact that we are actually trying?
Trying needs to be commended, taking action, taking that risk, putting yourself out there. And this is the other thing. People that do succeed, expose themselves to failing. People that do try out, expose themselves to challenge.
Life is not about everything being easy all the time, but it is about you using your brain to find solutions. And this is what's really important. If you want things to be different, something has to change and you'll hear that phrase a lot. But when you do want things to be different, different actions need to be executed and our deepest fear on what if this doesn't work, but what if it does?
So then you end up, if you're constantly, especially if you think about this from your business, if you're constantly in a space on what if this doesn't work, well, then why are you a business? If every day you're waking up in fear of what if this doesn't work, what if that client doesn't sign up, what if I don't make this money, what if, what if, and then we don't ever think to ourselves, do you know what? I really want to learn something new. I really want to make a change.
I really need to take this next step. Your business is going to constantly be in a state of fear, constantly in a state of stuckness. So give yourself the opportunity to start thinking about what is the real fear here? Because it's not in failing because failing is trying.
It's the fear of staying where we are. And that then becomes the reality, not fear. It doesn't become a theory what becomes a reality. And this is what we want to start shifting.
So if you know that you are in a space with your business, where it just hasn't, it's just not, you know, it's, you don't even need to explain it, but it's that isn't it? You've just got that feeling of wanting something to change your shift or be different, but you don't know if you've got the capacity, the energy, the accountability, the motivation to join your own. That is also fine. We are not meant to do everything in isolation.
That is not how life is meant to be. And here's the thing I bet I absolutely bet if your house run out of heating, you would pay for someone to come in and fix it. You would try and do it yourself. If your car broke down, you would pay for someone to come and fix it.
These are things that we almost like, yeah, okay, no problem. But then when it comes to your business, which could change your life, we think, oh, I'll just try and do it myself. So you're almost even, we almost undermine the potential of our business by not allowing ourselves to get the support that we need. And therefore we live in this reality of fear of stuckness, of it not working.
So start to give yourself the opportunity to see change, but in seeing change, that also, that also requires courage and it does require trust. And if you don't trust in your business, you don't trust in yourself, you don't trust in the potential of what's happening. And that is a very different conversation that you need to have. But you need to start trusting in what's possible and not just living in this constant state of, oh, I just need to see where I'm at.
Oh, I need to see if I can. Because if you're constantly living like that, how will your business, how will your business be able to exceed your wildest expectations? Because you're constantly putting limits on it. And usually it's through false fear that then becomes a reality.
So start asking yourself, what is your deepest fear? And this is even a really good example. Someone said to me, all right, I heard it somewhere. And it was about, OK, if you didn't worry about algorithm, reach, comment, say, blah, blah, blah, how would you sharpen social media?
I'd love to post it there all the time. If I wasn't worried about this, that and the other. So I thought to myself, and this morning, so you might be listening to this when I'm doing this. This morning, I've already posted three times in the space of half an hour because I'm like, I want to create this stuff.
So I'm just going to do it. Why not? Why are we living in this constant state of fear? What is that achieving apart from more stuckness?
So if you know you want to start really getting unstuck and you want to start moving your business forward, you know you need that push. You need that kick up the bar. You need that kind of next level of like, please, please allow yourself to get that support. So if you want to talk to me about the summer sprint, because I'm aware that the exam asked mind is for a very select type of woman who is in a space of business and who is in a space in that growth that wants that high level of support, then the summer sprint would be a perfect first step for you is an eight week program is for a maximum of eight people is the cheapest way to work with me for such a high touch point of support and mentorship.
And it's also the shortest time frame, which gives you an indication of the amount of push and strength that you will get, but also without the long term commitment or the higher financial investment. And if you know that you need support and you need to change this could be the perfect opportunity. You know, you will see my client results. You will see the credibility of the results that happen.
They're all over my Instagram in my guides in my case studies in my highlights. If you want to talk to about the program, please reach out this program around last year and four of those clients are now working with me in high ticket programs, which just shows the success that is available when you get that first little kick that you need. So if you are ready to make that change, it might be uncomfortable. I know it might be uncomfortable, but what is the alternative?
You're uncomfortable anyway, because you're not getting the results you want. You're not inspired and feeling motivated by your business and empowered by your success. So you're uncomfortable. Anyway, you might as well be uncomfortable doing something about it.
