Key Points Covered:
The power of radical personal responsibility in achieving extraordinary results.
"When you take things personally in your business, it's your brain's way of ensuring that you stay committed to your fears and perceived limitations. When you take radical personal responsibility in your business, then you can see everything purely as data. And only one of those ways is gonna get you the results that you want."
In today's episode, I share my personal story of how taking things personally in my business led me down a destructive path and how I made a radical shift towards personal responsibility to turn things around.
It was not an easy journey, but it was transformative.
I started my business as a personal trainer in 2012, initially just for fun and to make some extra money. However, I soon became obsessed with metrics and social media. I constantly worried about class attendance, numbers, and money. I overworked myself, gave too much away for free, and used alcohol as a coping mechanism for my anxieties.
But then, I had a breakthrough moment when I realized that I wasn't my thoughts. This realization opened up the possibility of defeating my demons and taking control of my mindset. Through further learning, coaching, and self-acceptance, I began to change my story.I discovered that unresolved issues can manifest in different areas of our lives, like different outfits of the same underlying problem. It was crucial for me to reconnect with the passion that drove me to start my business in the first place and focus on the people I wanted to serve.
Building a business is not just about strategy; it's a journey of personal growth. Taking radical personal responsibility means seeing everything as data and not attaching personal meaning to it. It means showing up for ourselves and continuously learning and adapting to achieve extraordinary results.
So, if you're ready to shift from taking things personally to embracing radical personal responsibility, this episode is for you. Let's dive in and start building the mindset and skills necessary to create the business and life you truly desire.
Remember, the key is to implement what you learn immediately and experience the personal breakthroughs that will transform your business.

Today, we're diving deep into the mindset of success and questioning everything you thought you knew. It's time to challenge the status quo and step into your own power.
You've probably heard countless times about the power of morning routines, evening rituals, and meticulous planning. But here's the thing - are you using all this knowledge against yourself? Are you stuck in the comparison trap, thinking your business isn't growing because you don't tick every single box on the "success checklist"?

Let me introduce you to Sarah Blakely, the unstoppable force behind Spanx. She defied industry norms and achieved remarkable success by doing things her own way. And guess what? You can too! You don't have to follow the same routines or habits as everyone else to make it big in business.

I'm Louise Cartwright, and today we're diving deep into the incredible journey of business breakthroughs and the pivotal perspective shifts that can take your business to the next level.
Get ready to bridge the gap between strategies and results with me!"
In this episode, I explore the three perspective shifts that will empower you to achieve that long-awaited business breakthrough.
I start by debunking the belief that success solely lies on the other side of the bridge. In reality, you are the creator of your own success, and it's about understanding what that breakthrough looks like for you.
As small business owners, we often find ourselves caught in a frustrating loop of knowing what we need to do but struggling to take consistent action. We'll uncover how aligning our actions with the unique seasons we're in can create powerful momentum and drive significant growth.
One of the key philosophies I explore is the transformative power of clarity. By reflecting on our current results and identifying the actions and mindset that led to them, we can consciously choose who we need to be in order to achieve different and desired outcomes.
"Choose three words that define your desired identity and live by them."
These words will shape your mindset, narrative, and approach to challenges, generating immediate and powerful change.
Another essential perspective shift we dive into is the importance of being fully present and self-supportive. By embracing commitment and staying bold, courageous, self-loving, present, decisive, and focused, we can amplify our actions and take decisive steps towards our business goals.
Remember, "There is always a bridge between where you are and where you want to be."
The key is to recognize that your unique circumstances and challenges require a customized approach. Trying to execute like someone else can only lead to frustration and unfulfilled goals.So, grab a pen and paper, because I'm sharing an easy exercise that will help you lay the foundation for your next business breakthrough.
Discover the power of words as you choose and embrace those that define your desired identity. Live by them, and watch as your actions, self-talk, and results align with your biggest aspirations.If you're craving immediate results, make sure to sign up for our free training, where I unveil five powerful philosophies that will create an instant impact in your business.
Clarity is just the beginning.
Remember, the bridge to your business breakthrough is just a perspective shift away. Until next time, keep building your business 6-pack!

It's time to create a new program that aligns with the success you desire.Don't just focus on external achievements. Imagine yourself operating at a different frequency, achieving continuous breakthroughs.
It's time to hold the right program in your mind and create the results you crave. And when it comes to interpreting your business results, remember that they are just data. Don't take them personally. Instead, view them as valuable information to guide you towards your next breakthrough.
Your beliefs and expectations are powerful. They shape your decisions, your actions, and ultimately, your results. So, let's harness the power of positive self-talk and align our thoughts with the success we desire.
As you take action, be mindful of how your thoughts influence your decisions and actions. Don't let limiting beliefs hold you back. Embrace the possibility of making it work for you and let go of fears and doubts.
Remember, thoughts alone do not determine your results. But when you align your thoughts with positive frequencies and take inspired action, you'll witness the incredible transformation that awaits you.

Anytime you see what looks like a breakthrough, it is always the end result of a long series of little things done consistently over time - Jeff Olsen, The Slight Edge
This is where we talk about perhaps the most damaging conditioning of all. The microwave culture, where your senses are being bombarded with enticing messages of quick results, where quantum leaps and life changing breakthroughs are just the other side of that download programme or certificate.
And worse than that, the pictures and the copy let you believe that it's going to be so easy, way easier than what you're already doing. In this final bonus episode, I'm telling you the very unsexy truth about breakthroughs.
So if you don't want to hear the truth and you want to continue on the treadmill of buying, doing and trying more things without getting any different results, you can totally switch off now.
But if you're with me and you're ready to commit to your breakthrough no matter what, grab your drink of choice pen and paper and let's go.
Over these last six episodes, I've introduced you to the three pillars of my signature coaching programme. Build Your Business 6 Pack
Brain and Mind
Body and Energy
High Performance Coaching and Strategy.
Then I gave you the first two essential components that will 100% create your next business breakthrough.
Number one was finding your potholes. It's about discovering why you're not doing the things that you know you need to be doing. And problem solve. There with the start before the start mentality, setting yourself up for success. Don't just start the action.
Number two was being before doing. Everyone can be given a proven strategy for success, and yet 95% of those people won't succeed because of who they choose to be. You must choose conscious creation versus conditioning. You must understand the different energetic signature that comes from the thoughts that you're holding about the action you're about to do and the result that you expect to happen.
So now you have your plan. You know who you need to be, and this final component is where you put it all together. So, are you ready for this big reveal? Let's have little pretend jum roll here.
Sweat the small stuff.
Yes, I want you to sweat the small stuff. Here's five very unsexy things that you don't want to but need to hear.
The solution is super simple. The application is hard
Especially at the beginning, when you're challenging decades of conditioning, when your brain is fighting for safety, when your nervous system is on red alert, when you're desperate to see evidence it's working and you don't.
And that's where the 95% quit. And this, right now, is where you get to decide, what percentile do you want to stay in? This is where if you choose the 5%, you problem solve for your potholes. You decide who you need to be, practise the thoughts and behaviours accordingly. And number three, you sweat the small stuff and stay focused on the tiny steps daily that will guarantee your results. Stay in your lane, stop clicking on shiny objects on social media. Practise thoughts that what you're doing right now is more than enough. Have faith that evidence is being created and you will see it in your reality if you don't quit.
And just to kind of give you some evidence of that, I want to share a story of a client I'm working with right now. And she recently said to me in the last couple of weeks, she's like, well, a few months ago, she bought this skirt from a thrift store and she hadn't been allowed to try it on. She got it home and it was a bit too tight, it didn't really fit properly. And she just said to me, I actually tried it on yesterday and it's actually now too big. She said, But I don't feel like I've done anything like big. I haven't changed anything massively to create that.
And I said, well, hang on a minute. What about the fact for the last two and a half months you've committed to stretching and meditating every morning? You've been practising self love and letting go of the weight of opinions of what you think other people think. You've chosen to be more intentional with your food choices. As many times as you can, you've chosen to move more. And the result is that without too much discomfort, the skirt that was too tight is now too big.
And it comes back to this very simple message. It is the small, seemingly inconsequential daily actions that make the biggest difference. That is like a paraphrasing from the book, The Slight Edge, which, as you may now have realised, is a phenomenal book.
So how do you create this slight edge for yourself?
It's really very simple. You take a look at your desired outcome, you identify all the steps you could take to get there and you pick those with the highest chance of you cultivating consistency and you commit to doing them. So, as you know, I like to give you some kind of example.
So let's just for now, just go with a weight loss example, because it's super easy to create, right? So the outcome is you want to lose 15 pounds. What you could do is you could consume 1500 calories a day. You could count your macros, you could swap your cereal and toast for a loaded protein shake. You could walk 10,000 steps a day, get a personal trainer, hit the gym five times a week.
What you could do, but maybe haven't considered also doing, is getting more sleep, reducing your stress intermittent fast.
But what I want you to do is to choose something where you can choose consistency over intensity. You can change the intensity later as you gain momentum and results. But in the beginning, go for consistency. Start small and stay with it. Do it all and you trip and fall, right? So start small and give yourself the opportunity to succeed. Do not get sucked into it has to be big actions every day. That's what keeps people failing.
So you may choose, you know what, okay, I'm going to change my breakfast choice and go for the protein shake. I'm going to hit 10,000 steps a day and I'm going to go to bed 1 hour earlier. You could even pick two of those and you would still get results.
Track your results weekly and don't consider changing the process for at least 30 days unless you genuinely want to. Because you feel good, never change it because you feel like you're not doing enough or that you're in from a space of lack. Only then do you add on.
So let's give this as in a business example. Say for instance, you want to double your income. So what you could do? You could post more on social media. You could grow your email list, start a podcast, start to network, launch a new programme, raise your rates, start paying for marketing, hire a salesperson, create another lead magnet, do a free training, do a webinar.
But what you do is for three months you choose to focus on building your podcast audience. You do that by sharing on just two social media platforms every day with links to your podcast. The podcast has one very simple call to action which invites your listeners to your email list with something of value. And then you nurture those new subscribers with an email sequence and offer. And that's it.
That's all you do for three months, over and over and over again. And now you can see how starting before the start works because you could say, okay, I want to grow my email list. What do I need to have in place for me to be able to do that?
Business Brekthrough Exercise #7
Write down your goal or your goals.
Remember that building your business six pack is a holistic approach. So you might want to also have a goal that supports your business. Something that's maybe fitness or emotional. So for me right now, I'm on a big health drive. I want to be the strongest I've ever been. I'm in perimenopause right? I want to lose some body fat, I want to get strong, I want to get more sleep, I want to cut back on my alcohol. All of those things and all of those things are benefiting my business because of, number one, who I'm becoming to commit to those things, but who I'm becoming because of the results of committing to those things.
Right? So think outside the box.
Write down all the steps that you could do,
Choose what you will do and then get accountable.
Simply get a tick sheet, get a piece of paper, write it down. You don't even need to put it on a computer. These are the things I'm going to do. I'm going to exercise three times a week, I'm going to swap out my breakfast and I'm going to drink two litres of water. And every day that you do it, you just put a little tick in the chart. It can be that simple.
Notice again that the application isn't about adding more to your to do list.
It's about changing what you're doing. It's about changing who you're being while you're doing and it's about being part of the bigger picture. It's about being part of and involved in that process. There are a couple of other resources that I highly recommend.
Books
The Slight Edge, which is for me a game changing book.
Atomic Habits
The twelve week year. What I like about the Twelve Week Year is it helps you to identify those things that you're going to do and put them into a simple way to execute and what to say when you talk to yourself.
Ted Talks - that will really help your brain to understand that the priority should be on the process and not the prize. Keep your focus on the process and not the prize, because then you'll remember that what you're doing is the little steps every day that are going to make the difference. It's the little steps that create the big outcome. And when you stay focused on the outcome, you forget that. You miss a step, you miss the outcome. You've got to focus on that.
If want to achieve your goals, don't focus on them (10 mins)

Keep doing these fundamental things inside these seven podcast episodes and you will guarantee your own success. Thanks for listening and I'll see you again in the next episode of the Build Your Business Six Pack podcast.
Care what you think, because what you think, multiplied by action plus time, will create what you get. Jeff Olsen, The Slight Edge
You are a product of your conditioning until you decide to be a creation of your consciousness.
I think it was my NLP teacher that said that and it was really life changing. Now, just in case you're not familiar with the concept of conditioning and consciousness, although if you're listening to me I'm sure you are, and certainly if you've listened to the previous episodes in this bonus series, you will be. But let me just explain it again in a very simple way.
For most people, everything that they are, their beliefs, values, motivations, expectations, that's all been programmed during childhood, during the age when we are a walking computer, receiving data through our senses, which is filtered and filed, becoming our model of the world. Now, for people like you and I, we have all probably at some point come to realise that we want a different outcome in our life, a different outcome to what's being programmed. Or we've come and or we've come face to face with limiting beliefs about our abilities and our expectations.
And therefore we know that we can consciously choose new thoughts and values and motivations to create the life that we desire.
If the process is as easy as it sounds, why will 95% of the people not succeed at change? Well, I'm going to show you another reason why and give you another very simple concept to help you achieve your business breakthrough.
So we were on the penultimate episode in this bonus series of seven, where we've gone through ways to help you self identify where your biggest business block is and helping you to create that business breakthrough. I hope by now you have most definitely gone and taken the Business Breakthrough Quiz, where you can find out specifically where you're blocked and what you need to create a breakthrough. Getting your own reports into your email box and also getting that follow up sequence just to help you with some more tips and tools. Now, we talked in the previous episode or in one of the previous episodes about some of the reasons why it's so hard for us to make the change and why people don't do it.
And I'm going to give you a different spin on this today. So this is the second pillar in the fundamental philosophies ways of thinking, ways of being, that will guarantee, no kidding, will guarantee your business success.
I want to start with a few statements and I want you to just notice your immediate reaction to them, your thoughts and your feelings to them. And if you're able to just quickly jot a couple of words down.
How did those statements make you feel? Did you feel excited? Empowered? Or do you feel like your reality feels the total opposite of those statements?
And let me ask you this. If you did hold those thoughts as true in your mind, if you did believe that money was easy to make and there were clients literally waiting outside the door with money in their hand and your business breakthrough were just around the corner, how would you show up differently every day in your business? How would you feel different? What actions would you take or what actions would you stop doing? How much more engaged would you be with your business?
That's exactly the point of this episode. The second pillar that guarantees your business success is when you choose the be before the do, when you learn and commit to being the person you need to be so you can do the things that you need to do and have the results that you want to have.
Now, I know from experience that there's going to be plenty of you out there now, poo pooing this or thinking, it's a nice concept, but and that's exactly why 95% of people won't succeed in creating their dreams. They'll go back to the limiting programme, they'll keep doing more of the same thing, expecting a different result, because that's what your brain wants you to do. And because they're holding back or backing down from their dreams, somewhere in their brain, somewhere in their thoughts and their identity, they're backing down.
They're not willing to practise the new thoughts that will support the necessary actions to generate the desired result. And it comes down to that word, practice. If I said to you, you can have these thoughts tomorrow, just hold these thoughts tomorrow, take action from these thoughts tomorrow and the day after that, you'll have your business breakthrough. You'd be on it like a rocket, right?
But it doesn't happen as quickly as that. Well, sometimes things can happen, but it's a practice. You've had decades of programming and we've already talked in a previous session. How do we create a new belief, a thought on repeat? It happens quicker when we have the thought and we cement it in with new action over time. But you have to be willing to practise.
So I want you to hold in your mind right now, how much do you want to change and what are you prepared to do to make that happen?
A quick overview. I've shared with you that if you don't have the programme, you won't make it a reality. That thoughts are a creative frequency and the frequency that you adopt the most is what you're seeing reflected in your reality that you can't get different unless you do different. So I want to give some evidence to your brain right now that how you are being is way more important, particularly at this stage, than what you are doing.
J. K. Rowling. She was a broke single parent. She worked and she continued to write for 6 hours every day. She was turned down by twelve publishing houses. Big mistake there. Before Harry Potter was born
Donald Fisher and his wife set up a clothing store in 1969 with no previous retail experience whatsoever. That store is Gap.
Colonel Sanders had his secret recipe for KFC rejected a 1009 times before someone finally accepted it and he finally franchised KFC In 1962
Oprah Winfrey was brought up by a teenage single mother and in extreme poverty. She was sexually assaulted by family members, had a baby age 14 and that baby died shortly after. And as of 2020 she was worth 2.6 billion and went on to found the Oprah Winfrey Network.
How did these people navigate all the challenges to continue pursuing a better life and creating the life of their dreams? It was their attitude.
They decided who to be. They were committed to different. They held belief in themselves. They were not a prisoner of their conditioning or their past experiences. Rather they are a curator or they were, for those are no longer here of their thoughts and a creator of their reality. This goes back to the very beginning episode when I said it is your attitude, not your aptitude that determines your altitude.
And I want to think about just an attitude being I'm going to just keep trying the same thing over and over and over again and just pray to God that something different changes. This is where Courage 101 starts. Right now I'm willing to do something that you're not necessarily going to get a response for straight away, but we'll talk about more about that later.
So your business breakthrough is demanding from you, demanding from you right now, that you prioritise your thought work, that you create the necessary attitude and that you use your mind to rewrite unhelpful and outdated programmes of limitation. Before I share with you today's application exercise, let me tell you what it is not.
This is not positive thinking. Some things are going to be shit. That's life. You don't need to sugarcoat it. But you do need to get resourceful in your brain. Resourceful means that you can and you will take action no matter what.
This is also not about things always feeling easy or in flow. Things will still feel challenging and hard and maybe sometimes impossible. But the thoughts you choose to think will keep you in courageous motion.
Finally, this is not about endlessly reciting affirmations and looking at pretty pictures on your vision boards. This is about intentional creation of a thought practise from which you act.
Business Breakthrough Exercise #6
It sort of ties back to your potholes. Noticing the thoughts that you have had hitting the same potholes over and over again. Quitting the promises that you make to yourself and notice the thoughts that you have, that you have doing the same things in your business and expecting a different result. Notice the thoughts that make you feel bad inside your business. And when you have that list, take ownership of the result that they are creating. Take ownership of the results that you don't want. That's step number one.
Number two is now about starting to curate a list of thoughts that are more resourceful. What thoughts about you, your potential clients, money, success, your method of transformation, your service, your product. Which thoughts would be more beneficial? Which thoughts? And this is the really important part. This is a step on from when we talked about this before, will foster empowering feelings, feelings of courage, commitment, determination, faith.
And just notice, like I said, it's a thought at the moment versus a belief. The belief will be a byproduct of the practise of the thought. And when you practise those thoughts, what action will you be willing to start or stop? Actions that you can see will create a different result. Stop the procrastinating.
Start time blocking. Stop binge watching Netflix. Start in person networking. Stop undercharging. Start working out in the morning. Stop signing up for all the free stuff. Start your thought practise. This is a practise.
It will not happen overnight. But your success won't happen at all without it.
So this is all about the be before the do. Stop getting caught up in doing more. Stop getting caught up in trying more things. Stop getting caught up in the belief that hard work is where the results are at. You already have evidence that those things aren't true because you are not where you want to be.
So this is another layer deeper and another layer broader to when I just said to you take some thoughts and act from those. This is about teaching you that who you are being amplifies infinitely the impact of your action. When you take action.
Let's just say, for instance, you're sending out an email to your list and you're doing it in a rush, and it's a sales email saying you want people to buy. And you're like, no one's going to buy. No one ever buys. No one clicks on my staff. And you write an email from that place.
It's a completely different energetic signature that you're leaving on. That from when you've spent some time in a thought practise curating that what you have is worthwhile. You can help somebody, you expect somebody to click on the link that there are a queue of people waiting for you and you send that email from that energy, can you see the difference?
And can you see now that there are a bajillion, small business owners taking exactly the same action and just a handful of them getting the results that they want? This is all to do with their energy, their attitude, the thoughts that they're holding, the frequency that they're creating and the person that they are being. So, like I said before, this isn't adding tonnes onto your day. Five minutes in the morning, use this with your anchoring techniques. We've already done. You've got a double whammy right there. The anchoring and the thought practise, because actually, the more you have the thought practise, you're naturally using an anchoring technique.
Remember, take the Business Breakthrough Quiz and be sure that you've listened to the previous 5 short episodes in this bonus series. Then, get hydrated and refreshed, because we're about to hit the final episode in this bonus series of the Build Your Business 6 Pack. See you over there.
It's easy to be excited and motivated at the start, isn't it? It's fun to play and daydream about what you might do, but the minute you decide to start, your brain is going to kick back.
We are now on episode number five in this bonus series and I'm going to introduce you now to three things. Three elements, three foundational philosophies, if you like that. I know when you put these in place into your business, you will have a business breakthrough.
The really good news about this is it's not so much about lots of things to do, it's much more about ways of thinking or ways of being. So don't freak out that I'm going to add more to your to do list. There will be an application exercise in each, but it's like something that you're going to just do inside the life that you already have. So just take a listen and it'll become very apparent as we go through.
Your Business Headlock
So in today's episode, I want to talk to you about what exactly that kickback looks like, why it's holding you in a business headlock and what you can do so you can create your business breakthrough.
I call it PLANNING FOR FAILURE
Before we go in to this very powerful foundational piece, I want to remind you we are going from AHA to application or AHA to action in the shortest time possible.
Now, the basis of this episode is that my belief is that most people know what to do. What they don't know, what they don't understand is why they don't do it consistently and why what they tend to do is to look for more things to do and buy more things to do and they end up with more things that they're not doing. Does any of that sound like you? I know I have definitely been there. And the problem is that once we get into that space where we're trying more things, not doing those things consistently either end up with a laptop full of downloads and offers and freebies and courses that are just gathering dust, we now activate more blame, more shame and more judgement.
From an energetic standpoint, it kind of robs us of our power energy in our solar plexus and just activates more shame. So we've got more stuff to do, we've got more feeling bad because you're not doing it. You've got more overwhelmed because of all the things that you're not doing that are taking up massive space in your brain and energy systems. More searching for the answer and nothing changes. So let me tell you what the answer is.
You need to find your potholes.
When you take the time to look back before you start moving forward, you're going to be able to fully identify and problem solve for all the reasons you haven't committed to your business fully before. Now, of course, in the last episode where we talked about the three pains that we're all trying to avoid, you can bring that into here.
I'm giving you a different perspective as well. A different perspective which means you're going to consciously make better choices and consciously choose to use your mind to direct your programmed brain. Okay?
When you do the looking back and you find your potholes, you're going to find all the reasons why you buy courses and don't finish them, or maybe you don't even start them. All the reasons why you grab every freebie and every download and the seven steps to all the reasons why you can't avoid that next shiny object. And the FOMO, all the reasons why you literally put everything and everyone else a higher priority than your business success. All the reasons why you keep being in the same place. And this philosophy that I have of finding your potholes is exactly the same reason that you use Google Maps or Waze before you head out on a trip. You want to know where there's been an accident or where there's roadworks or diversions so you can have the quickest and easiest route to your destination.
Let me ask you this.
What would happen for your business in the next three months if you honoured it in the same way as a journey? If you took some time to find your potholes and either plan your journey around them or filled them in and went over them?
And are you willing to plan for failure so that you don't quit on yourself again? Please tell me. The answer is yes. Right? And it really is very simple. So, number one, I want you to think of potholes. They're weakened parts of the road that can cause potential damage to car tires, right? We've all done that. And they get strengthened.
They get strengthened by getting weaker. The more times they're hit your potholes are the thoughts and behaviours that keep you hitting that stop part when you get to your desired sorry. That stop you getting your desired result. And the more times you hit them, the more you strengthen them. So when you keep hitting your plot holes, I want you to imagine it as you're strengthening your limiting programme in your brain. So you need to go on this backward journey. You have to identify the goals you've been working towards for six months or more with zero progress and identify the thought and behaviour traps that you keep falling into. Right? So as an example, I was talking with a client this week and when we talked about she has like this sort of three month commitment window and she just kind of like falls off and she stops doing stuff.
So we talked about that. I said, what happens then? Tell me more about what you start to think. And she says, well, it's not as exciting anymore. It's a little bit more boring. I'm not seeing an instant result or I'm not getting that instant reward and I feel demotivated. And then I feel to myself, I can't be bothered. And so she said, so then I'll skip a day and I'll tell myself I'll do double tomorrow, only when tomorrow comes and I've got to do double the thing, it feels so overwhelming that I don't do that either. And then it rolls in, day three, day four, day five, and then that feels so overwhelming
that in the end, it's just easier to quit.
So the result that she has from running that model is that she's got this three month commitment window. So, simply put, when we look at her potholes, we're noticing your pattern, your model of quitting on your promise. That's the problem found now for the solution. And the solution kind of comes in two parts. It's having to practise the new thoughts and behaviours. Now, we've already addressed this in number two, but now I'm giving you context. Like, how can you actually find the problem and then use the exercise in episode number two to give you that solution? You have to practise these new thoughts and behaviours. Go back to those first four episodes in the series to remind yourself why this is the foundation of your success.
If you think this is boring, you could choose to think, well, boredom is actually part of mastery and I'm really excited to master this. If you find yourself choosing distraction, you must choose focus. And that might look like time blocking, working in a different location, just choosing one project.
You can't get a different result if you keep doing the same thing, no matter how many justified excuses your brain keeps offering you.
Because you remember, your brain is biassed for safety. Growing a business does not feel safe for most of us at any point, right? So I class this one as filling the potholes. We notice the potholes, we fill them with something more resourceful, more action orientated, more new, and then we go over the potholes. We don't have to keep going around them anymore and making the road strong again.
And then finally I talk about starting before the right, this is another important part. So when you think about starting before the start, if all you're thinking about is laying on your sunbed in the Maldives, then you're not planning for the possible roadworks on the way to the airport, or how to pack everything you want in your suitcase without going over the weight limit because you're just focused on the end.
Let me give you another super example of this that I used to see a lot when I was a personal trainer. So it's Sunday night and you're telling yourself, right, this is it. I'm 100% going to start my fitness and fat loss journey. Tomorrow Monday. This is it. Last time.
Definitely going to do it. And you wake up Monday morning to find that you've only got Cocoa Pops in the cupboard for breakfast, your sports bra and trainers are positively prehistoric and that you've forgotten that your kids have a party to go to tonight. So your gym session is out in the window.
Now you're telling yourself, great, I've already fallen. First hurdle and I've fallen. You know what? And I can't start Tuesday because no one starts anything on a Tuesday. I'm going to wait till next week. And so the cycle begins again.
You have to set yourself up for success by starting before the start.
What needs to be in place that you have the best chance of succeeding?
So let's finish off with an example inside your business. Let's say you decide to create and sell a course that's on your to do list for this week. And one of some of the things you might want to have in place or plan for before you start, are things like knowing where you're going to host the course, a clear definition of who you're serving with the course, exactly how this course is going to help them. The social media platforms that you're going to market on, the branding that you're going to use, the non negotiable launch date, the execution plan. By working back from that launch date, the follow up email sequence, start before the start, means that you're thinking about the bigger picture. You're making that roadmap.
And this directive thinking is incredibly powerful for your brain as well as for your courage, because you know exactly what you're doing. You've already seen the potholes. You see where you failed before. You've problem solved for that and you're starting before the start. You're literally setting yourself up for success.
Business Breakthrough Exercise #5
How you start is how you continue.
So when you take the time to work out what has to be different, you can and you will create different results. So here's what you've got to do.
This is probably the only pillar out of the three that has got you to do a relative amount of work. But you've already started by looking at the thoughts that you need and want to hold to create different action. Think bigger picture. Because your business isn't just your business. Your business is an expression of you. Your best business demands the best you.
And when you think bigger picture and how your business can be elevated by other sort of supportive habits and rituals and thoughts, you will succeed, my friends. You will succeed. So that's all the application is. Find your potholes, start before the start, and then get yourself ready for foundational pillar number two. You are going to love it. I'll see you there's.
If you want a new outcome, you will have to break the habit of being yourself and reinvent a new self - Joe Dispenza
This speaks perfectly to the fact that your business breakthrough is not on the other side of a new strategy, but on the other side of a new you.
And you have already begun this process. You've gotten clarity from the workbook. You've started to repeat and act from higher level resourceful thoughts in the self Talk makeover. You've installed a new Power Point and have anchoring techniques to change your state at any time. ALL of these tools are changing your programming, creating a new you and creating a new last act. Rewriting that final script that your brain had as a limiting programme.
Why Will 95% Fail?
The reason that 95% of people will fail to achieve their breakthrough and create the life that they want to live versus the one they've been conditioned to believe is available can be summed up in one word commitment.
And it's not that they're not committed, but rather what they are choosing to be committed to. Because we are all committed to something. We all have a strategy for commitment. But maybe you've got to look at whether you're committed to comfort or growth, certainty or change, fast food or fresh food, old stories or new creations, limitation or abundance, working out or the remote control, like we're all committed somewhere.
I had a coach who once said you are committed to the results that you have.
And that really hurt. But he was simply pointing out that if you've had the same results, like month in, month out, year in, year out, that shows what you're committed to. And so now for those of you that are shouting at me, saying, yep, but Louise, I am committed. I'm always trying to make this work and I'm doing all this stuff and I'm never quitting. I hear you.
But when I had a look back, I looked at all the stopping and starting. I looked at frequently changing your mind about what you do and what you should do and all of that and signing up for new. Programmes and strategies and downloads, thinking that that thing is going to be the answer and second guessing yourself and always looking at what others are doing and having that FOMO.
That's a commitment. But it's a commitment to playing out and confirming your existing programme. It's commitment to fighting for your limitations. It's your brain's way of getting you to commit to the comfort that comes with the certainty of staying where you are and commitment in your business.
Commitment to grow your business and have your business breakthrough is going to require some new stuff from you.
It's going to require that you choose one strategy and stick with it probably for 90 days minimum. That you're going to evaluate your results regularly for data about what to do next, leaning into that discomfort of possibly doing less, but doing it better.
Taking the belief that unwanted results are not personal, they're just data only, working on the needle movers and deleting, delegating or deferring the rest out. So the million dollar question is why do you not commit to something that you want so badly?
Well, number one, we've already discussed this, is that if you don't have a programme that doesn't support it, it's going to be awfully difficult to make that happen. Which means, number two, that your brain completely freaks out when you try and change what you already have. And number three is that you have to become a new you. (And I'm going to put a caveat on that because I don't want it to imply that you're not enough. When I talk about becoming a new you, I think it's actually more about remembering what you was born as, which is your infinite potential and possibility, because you are a creative being, like you're an extension of the universe)
Number four, that self talk and anchoring are simple in the moment techniques that you can use right now to shift the way you feel and act. And number five, most people will not do this work because they don't think it's big enough, because it won't work, it will take too long.
And that's why we get 95% of people having the same results over and over and over again, because they're committed to the thoughts that they're having that fight for their limitations in their brain.
And so as we come into this high performance coaching and strategy pillar, we can dive a little bit deeper into what actually might be going on in your brain and what strategies are available to you to help you rewire your brain for that business breakthrough and long term success and joy. So I thought about it and I thought, what's going to benefit you the most? We've talked about the mind brain in a bit more detail, we've talked about the energy and frequency in more detail and I was like, what's going to be the biggest booster for you right now? And I think it's something, number one, is going to help you take the blame away from yourself. Something that we're all really good at is putting ourselves down and making out that it's something about us that we're not good enough we lack something compared to other people who we deem are successful.
Well, what I'm going to share with you now is going to prove to you that actually it's your brain that's sabotaging you. And at the same time, you now get to choose if you're going to continue being committed to that. So helping to have an understanding of why it's so hard to change and why it's so difficult to commit something you want so bad. You have to have an awareness of what you fear or in other words, what is going on in your brain that makes it so hard.
There are three pains that as human beings, we are all wired to avoid.
These pains will challenge your commitment. These pains will have your brain always choosing safety. Your brain will always opt out of discomfort unless you direct it otherwise.
As you start to go towards your goals, your brain is offering you the results of avoiding these pains. And unless you can direct use your mind, your higher power, your will, your infinite potential, your determination to redirect your brain, you will always see the result of your brain safety mechanisms and you just can't create from that place.
Business Breakthrough Exercise #4
Raise your awareness of what you fear and how it's showing up for you so that you can create something different.
I'm giving you part of the homework from the high performance coaching framework that I give my one to one clients. And you're going to use this as a journaling exercise to excavate the real hidden reasons that you haven't been committed to your success in the way that is needed. So it's not that you haven't. And just remember, you didn't know all this information I've given you over the last four episodes. So cut yourself some slack. Stop beating yourself up. You've now got new information.
You're implementing the information. You're doing something different. You will see different results. Period. Okay?
And once you've revealed these hidden motivations, you can create thoughts from episode number two to activate the courage that is required to make the necessary changes inside your business.
So we're looking at what might I lose, what hardships might happen? How might that process pain impact me? And what might the outcome be?
The final question is: When I overcome all of my fears and have the courage to take action and improve my life sorry and improve my life will be different in this way......
These are really important questions, so I had to answer these questions myself, actually, back in I think it was June when I was doing my coaching research and it was really quite an eye opener. And I've been doing this a long time, right, and I'm still getting AHAs from doing the homework that I give to my clients.
So please give your breakthrough the commitment that it deserves by doing this funnel exercise. On top of that, if you have not yet done the Business Breakthrough Quiz yet, why not? Because you will actually find out where your personal block is. And I'm going to send you your whole report will come to you in your email with more unique details to you about where your block is and what you need to do with instantly actionable steps to start creating that breakthrough. Plus, I give you a five day follow up with more tips, tools and resources.
Now listen. If you're determined that now is the time to succeed in your business, this is where your commitment truly starts. If your brain is already trying to talk you out of it, notice it.
Notice what old story it's giving you that you've listened to before and stayed in the same place doing the same thing. Notice how it's in control of the final act that must stop now you must be prepared to do something different. Prioritise the exercises I've given you over the last four episodes. You'll notice that most of these exercises are things that you can just add a slot into your days so easily in a couple of minutes. The journaling exercises, they can be a one and done or you can keep using them. None of this is going to take masses of times away from your business. And notice if there's a story that if you're not in your business, you're not growing it right now. The growth in your business requires the growth of you.
So it just looks different for you at the moment. Take the quiz and look out for the email so you can start doing the action steps there. Because remember, if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten. Now there are three final episodes in this bonus series and the last three about the three foundational elements, I guess, of your business that will guarantee your success. It's less about steps, it's more about like, you need to have this in place, you need to have this in place, you need to have this in place, because I can pretty much guarantee a business breakthrough if you put those in. Remember, transformation is implementation, not more information. So I'm wrapping this one up now.
Notice the stories, notice how well you've been implementing thus far. Have a word with yourself if you haven't been and then head over and meet me back in episode number five in just a couple of ticks.
Einstein said,
"Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way".
Welcome to episode three in this bonus series where I'm helping you to identify exactly where your business block is and giving you simple steps you can implement right now to create your next business breakthrough.
Today we are talking about energy and specifically how you can leverage frequency to create a new outcome in your business. What you're not going to get here is Fluffy Law of Attraction stuff. You're going to get more of a scientific explanation of why this area creates limitation for so many small business owners and a powerful tool to start using right now to get you to your business breakthrough. So if you're ready, let's go.
Every emotion has a frequency or a vibration.
If you want to see this visually, just go to Google and put in Emotional Frequency chart or Emotional Frequency Cone and the image will come up and the cone will show you that down the bottom. The lower frequencies are things like guilt, shame, fear and the top higher level frequencies are things like joy and faith and happiness.
I believe that most of you will have had personal experience of this already, because if you're, like many small business owners and I've been here and sometimes still fall into the trap, we are all too familiar with experiences of fear, anxiety, and overwhelm as an example.
So I just want you to do a little bit of an experiment with me. I want you to think about how it feels in your body when you feel fearful about your business, when you're having thoughts that make you feel anxious and overwhelmed. Where is that in your body? What kind of sensations are you having? Are you getting a dry mouth? Are you getting palpitations? Are you getting sweaty palms? Do you get a tight chest? Do you feel it in your stomach? Just notice that for me.
And now let's flip that over and say what happens when you feel joy. Think about a time when you've signed an amazing new client or you've done a launch that's gone well, or you have the most amazing idea that just kind of like seems to flow out of you. Where is that in your body? How does that feel different?
So you've just experienced right there how quick and easy it is to change our state. Okay? So we call state, as in all the sensations of being in, like, say, for instance, in a physical emotion. So you've just done that right there, right now.
Now, the truth is, you can't create what you don't vibrate.
In other words, if you don't practise high frequency thoughts that create high frequencies, you cannot create the outcomes in your business that you so desperately want. In the last episode, I shared that if you don't have a programme in your brain for your success, it's almost impossible for you to make it happen.
And that is exactly why there are so many exhausted, hardworking, small business owners constantly stuck in the same results. But I'm afraid there's more bad news. You see, the more you don't see the results, the more you're going to vibrate in the lower frequencies of fear, disappointment, anger, shame, guilt, overwhelm. And as we are in a creative, energetic universe and we are energetic, creative beings, we are constantly creating what we're vibrating.
In other words, when we are in these lower frequencies, you are constantly lining up with more outcomes that you don't want, creating more results that are confirming to your programme. Y
This doesn't work for you. You're not capable. You're not allowed to have this success. It has to be harder for you. Other people find it easier.
So, do you see how the brain and the mind is now linking so succinctly with the body and the energy? Your reality is constantly a reflection of your emotional frequency, which has been created in every moment by your programme and the thoughts you keep choosing to hold. Now, that's exactly why I said to you your business breakthrough isn't a new strategy, it's a new story.
Now, I know that might also seem a little bit heavy. You're thinking, oh, great, well, I feel like I've been stuck here for heaven forever. How do I get out? So I've tried everything. Let's just take a breath and notice that you have already started to do something differently.
You have created from episode one that definite line in the sand. You've downloaded the workbook and I know that you've started to fill that in. Maybe you've completed it. Number two, you know all about the self talk makeover from episode number two and you're using those new thoughts every day to take action from, right? You are doing that, yes?

The only thing that's keeping you from getting what you want is the story you keep telling yourself - Tony Robbins
Welcome back to episode 2 in this seven episode series, where I'm introducing you to the Build Your Business 6 Pack formula, my signature coaching programme and giving you some very simple, immediately actionable steps to help you go from being blocked in your business to having your business breakthrough.
Remember, I've also created the worksheet and the quiz for you.
Get the workbook
Take the quiz
In the following three episodes, I'm talking to you in more detail about each of the three elements of the Build Your Business 6 Pack. And we're going to start with the biggie. The brain and the mind. And right now, I'm going to tell you exactly why the brain is probably your biggest problem.
Attitude
So, in episode number one, the last episode, I talked to you about attitude and how attitude is an expression of your beliefs or philtres and feelings about all things. You can also think of this as your story.
The unconscious script that your brain has created for your life, it's already written the entire play. The ending has already been decided, unless you decide to change your story.
Now, in commitment to keeping my podcast episodes short and in service to you, I'm not going to go into huge detail about how you got your story. Simply put, all the information that you received, mainly between the ages of zero and seven, but not exclusively so, all of that information you received from all of your senses created these unconscious filters through which everything that came after that was filtered through and it created these beliefs and expectations inside your brain. You can look at it as it created your life script. And when you consider that inside the average household by the age of 18, you have been told no in excess of 148,000 times, it's easy to see how so many of your programmes can be of lack and limitation.
So what does this mean for you and your business?
If your brain doesn't hold a programme, doesn't have the conditioning where you are abundant and successful, it will be almost impossible for you to create that as a reality. And that's why you can take a tonne of action, keep trying new things, never give up. And yet the results are always the same. Nothing changes.
It's like taking all of the ingredients to bake an amazing cake, mixing it all up into the batter, putting it in the oven and not turning the oven on.
The question is, do you want to keep working harder?
Do you want to keep spending money on new strategies but not using them, not implementing, not getting results?
Do you want to keep experiencing the reality of your limiting beliefs?
I'm going to take a guess that the answer is no. And what I'm hoping should now be evident from these first two episodes is that in order to change your reality, you need to start by changing your story, not your strategy. And that's what I'm going to show you how to do right now.
In episode #5 I'm sharing a 2nd exercise to rewire your subconscious mind. Right now I'm giving you something to implement that will have an immediate impact. PLUS.. there is a audio recording to help you rewire your subcoscious mind... And it's going to be based on the following three things I want you to know.
So this is how we start now, looking at differentiating the brain, which we know is about keeping us in survival mode. It's about keeping us safe.
And our brain doesn't like the challenge of new and how we can use our mind, our higher self, our will, our divine, to redirect our brain to do the things that we need it to do.
Business Breakthrough Exercise #2
If your story is made of thoughts that have been repeated, how do you think a new story is made? You got it. It's simply the repetition of new thoughts.
Think of it like rewriting the screenplay of your life. You have to go back to the beginning to change the final scene. You have to change your self talk. This isn't about thinking positive, but it's about thinking with a desired outcome in mind.
It's about self talk that you've created with your infinite mind, the mind of limitless possibilities to direct your brain to do something that it doesn't want to do or to believe something that it doesn't yet believe. Here's exactly how you're going to do it and it's going to start making an impact.
Today, I want you to write down three to five thoughts that will now think of them like your thought sherpas.
They are going to guide your actions every single day. You can have different thoughts every day or the same, it doesn't matter. It just has to work for you. This is where you start tapping into your intuition what's going to work for you. But what you must know is that you need to know and you need to see and you need to feel how, with these thoughts, you will show up as a different person inside your business, showing up the way you already know that you need to show up.
I'm going to share some examples with you so you can see, feel and understand what I mean. So I just wrote five random things down.
I am choosing what is possible for me and I am choosing success.
Making money can be easy and fun.
It is really powerful for me to charge for the change I can help someone make in their life.
Small, consistent action is the most powerful way for me to get a breakthrough.
I am who I say I am. I achieve what I commit myself to.
This isn't about positive thinking, reeling off affirmations verbatim, just saying the words. This is about you picking a thought. Choosing a thought where you can actually in your mind's eye and in your body, see how you would show up differently.
It's about recognising that there are some thoughts that you have right now that mean that somewhere in your business you're backing down, somewhere you're not being courageous, somewhere you're not stepping up, somewhere you're not doing what you know needs to be done. Maybe you procrastinate, you're not committed, you're distracted, you put other people first instead of your business. And choosing a thought that you know that when you practise and you act from that thought by choice, by consciousness, you will create a different outcome.
Best Practice
Do not rush this first part when you're choosing the thoughts.
Like I say, this isn't just empty affirmations, this is life changing, conscious thought choices. Write down, I'd say, like at least ten more if you want, and then pick the ones that feel most powerful. Anything that gives you like a visceral reaction is always good. But if you're not quite that kinesthetic, just trust your gut to choose the most powerful ones, the ones that you can see will have you acting in a different way.
Do not underestimate the power of this practise.
That right there is a limiting programme and will keep you in the strategy search. You have to understand how powerful this is when you commit and of course, impact requires implementation. When you act from this new self talk, what exactly are you going to do differently? What will you start doing immediately? What will you stop doing immediately? And it would benefit you to get that written down as well.
Let me tell you it's going to be hard. Your brain is going to resist, your body's going to resist. But if you want to succeed in your business, you're going to be willing to push past that discomfort and do those things from that thought. You have to have the implementation to have impact.
You have to practise it. Because remember, a thought practised becomes a belief.
If you'd like more personal detail on exactly what's stopping you having your business breakthrough, please make sure you go take my Business breakthrough quiz because it will tell you exactly what that is. I'll also send you a personal report straight to your inbox with really easy implementation steps specifically for the problem that was most identified as your business block.
And as soon as you've done that, make sure you hit play on episode number three in this bonus series.
I am so excited to be bringing you the rebrand of the Your Rich Life Podcast. This podcast is where small business owners, like you, can learn how to stop spinning your wheels in the same results, grow your small business and guarantee your success.
To introduce this rebrand, I've recorded a bonus seven episode series and they're all available right now. The first four episodes will explicitly show you where your business breakthrough is going to be. And by taking you through my signature framework, Build Your Business 6 Pack, you'll be able to self identify your biggest business block. The final episodes are the three essential foundational, pillars and Practises of your success. In fact, all success.
I've seen it with myself, my clients, inside my mastermind groups, and from research gathered on the world's most successful people. Plus, this podcast is focused on implementation over information. So at the end of every podcast, there's going to be a small, simple actionable step for you to implement. And on top of that, you can take my Business Breakthrough quiz and get a personal, detailed report sent to you on how to create your business breakthrough now. And the link for that is in the show. Notes if you take these small, easy steps inside the next seven episodes and take the quiz, I am absolutely certain that you will achieve a breakthrough in your business. So if you're ready, let's get going with episode number one.
It is your attitude, not your aptitude that determines your altitude - Zig ziglar.
If there were a quote that summed up Build Your Business six pack, this would be it. And here's why. First of all, let's start off with the definition of attitude.
It is a feeling or opinion about something or someone or a way of behaving that is caused by this. So basically, attitude is the expression or the outcome of your beliefs, which in turn determines what action you will or will not take. However, in the small business world, you've probably noticed by now that the answer for those who are struggling is strategy.
You just need to know how to how to improve your copy or your messaging.
Choose a different social media platform or use your existing one better.
Grow your email list.
Email marketing.
Own your pricing.
Nail your niche.
Get better at branding.
Learn how to use AI.
Get on the latest trend.
As I record this, Threads has literally just been published about a week ago.
There are definitely going to be some cases where this is going to be true in your business. But having worked with hundreds of small business owners, here's what I'd see to be more true.
It is unresourceful and often damaging beliefs of lack and limitation that lead to frantic and unfocused action taken from fear and desperation that have small business owners spinning their wheels, creating the same unsatisfying results over and again and have them thinking that there is a magic strategy that's missing.
There is no missing strategy.
There is just no one telling you that the most powerful strategy is you.
Until now.
So over the next seven episodes, I'm going to help you become that strategy.
And I'm not going to just bombard you with information, I am coaching you to implement, because that's the only thing that will create the change that you require. I'm going to finish this short introductory episode with a basic overview of the Build Your Business six pack formula. And then I'm going to give you your first implementation exercise. And it is short and it is sweet, like all of them. So if you're ready, let's go in with element number one, which is the brain and mind. There are five things that I want you to really hold on to when it comes to your brain.
It is all the answers. It is your will, your deepest desires, and it's a thing that right here we're going to use to direct your brain to do what we need it to do. And inside the Build Your Business six pack, you're going to rewire your programmes of limitation and create success. You're going to learn how to use your mind to be in control of your brain always.
The next pillar of BB6P is Body and Energy. And two words really sum this up, vibrancy and frequency. Inside this pillar, you're going to discover the power of using your body to create both the long term motivation to take action with vibrancy and joy instead of dread and fear. And on top of that, you're going to learn how to create an energetic frequency that actually matches the outcome that you desire versus the outcome that you keep creating.
This is where we look at the tools that keep you both physically fit and healthy and strong, as well as the techniques that you can use to instantly shift how you feel and to create a powerful energy of creation and action.
Then we sew it all together with high performance coaching and strategy. This is element number three.
High performance coaching is scientifically backed. It's a coaching framework based on research of the world's most successful people. It will show you exactly how to think and act in a way that guarantees not just your business success, but your life success. Your best life, relationships, health, purpose, aliveness. You're all going to find evidence of high performance coaching throughout the entire formula of Build Your Business six pack.
Now, we're going to combine that with clarity on your personal and business strategies to amplify your energy, to grow your faith, to raise your frequency with knowing what you need to do now to move your business forward is where it all really comes together.
And that's it. That's the introduction.
The whole point of starting here was to give you some idea of where you might not be showing up, where you might not have the information you need. So just taking a think about it, if you had to think about all of those things, where do you think you can identify your business block right now? Is it more in the brain and mind? Is it more in your body and energy? Is it in the coaching and the strategy? Maybe you feel like it's a bit of everything and all of that's. Okay, right. If you want to know more details on that, please go take the quiz. The quiz will tell you explicitly where you need to start working to achieve your business breakthrough right now.
Implemention Exercise #1
It starts with a metaphorical line in the sand.
Your decision now to start over, but starting over
with all of the experience and knowledge that you've already got, that you've gained from your previous experience.
Starting over with knowing that this is the perfect time for you to commit to your success, with the decision that you will make you the most important project in your business.
Now, to help you at this level draw this metaphorical line in the sand and get some clarity for the future, I've created a really sort of fun and explorative workbook for you to help you get all of this out of your head and get it down on paper. There is space for you to journal, identify action steps, look at where you are, where you want to go, track your habits, and of course, a collection of powerful quotes that you can print and put up in your office or around your home to keep you in that frequency of faith and motivation and success. And good news is, it's totally free.

Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back. Harvey Mackay
I don't have enough time
I'm always so busy
I have too much to do
How many times have you heard yourself say this?
And how do you feel when you're saying this to yourself day in, day out?
"Too much to do and too little time to do it" is such a common, limiting belief.
It's a "weed in my brain" that I regular have to pull out. In fact, it's so well rehearsed that I FEEL it before I think it.
In this epsiode I'm going to share with you how:
I'm too busy/I have too much to do is a LACK model
Why it's creating the results you don't want
What I'm doing about it when that thought comes up for me
I'm also going to share the Model i'm running when i'm telling myself I don't have enough time.
IIf we maintain a broken and habitual thought (brushing it under the carpet or trying to out think/out work it), it will continue to create unresourceful feelings and culminate in no/disappointing results.
Truth is we are ALL running out of time and we ALL have 24 hours in a day.
So why is it so hard for us to allocate and invest our time wisely? In this episdoe I'm sharing with you an "umbrella" reason that I see over and over again with my clients and in my communities.
As always, I'll share a "homework" activity so that you don't just keep taking on more information, you USE it and create TRANSFORMATION

What if you honoured the season you were in?
How would treat yourself differently?
How would you talk to yourself differently?
Right now, I’m very much in a season that I’m unfamiliar with. And I want to share that experience with you in the hope that it will help you recognise and journey through yours.
What I've noticed, is that people are almost totally disconnected from the season that they're in.
Because we've been taught to "get on with it"; "be strong" or just accept that it's part of life.
So let me start with a quote:
“We all know that if the seasons were the same, there would be no growth. We know that without winter there would be no spring. We know that without frosts there would be no bulbs and without the monsoon there would be no rice harvest. In the same way, we also know that without sorrow there would be no joy. Without pain there would be no healing. I think that's precisely where the beauty comes in. It comes in through the fruit of the seasons. He has indeed made everything beautiful in its time.” ― Naomi Reed, My Seventh Monsoon: A Himalayan Journey Of Faith And Mission
I believe that my current season started Feb 2020, when I was in the room when the Dr told my dad his cancer care would now be palliative. It was a slow motion experience. I couldn’t see my dads face, but I could see my mum looking at my dad. I looked across at my twin sister and in that moment it was as if I could feel everybody’s reaction all in one go.
I believe my current season is the “grande finale” of the last 3 years and it finds me navigating the spectrum of emotions – sometimes in one day. From starting the day feeling clear and confident to ending it feeling like I have no idea what I’m doing with my life – and a tonne of tears inbetween.
Anxiety still visits and there are days where I have to coach myself out of bed.
I find it harder to maintain motivation, I get very stressed by being on social media and my head feels empty a lot of the time – not helpful at all for content and marketing.
I wanted to share ALL of this with you because I value transparency. If I’m experiencing this, I know I’m not alone. And If I can help even one person with this episode, it will be worth it.
ONCE YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR SEASON, ASK YOURSELF WHAT YOU NEED
Before I finishup with today’s simple and powerful homework, here’s a quote from an incredible book that I’m re-reading in this season – Letting Go….
“Letting go involves being aware of a feeling, letting it come up, staying with it, and letting it run its course without wanting to make it different or do anything about it. It means simply to let the feeling be there and to focus on letting out the energy behind it. The first step is to allow yourself to have the feeling without resisting it, venting it, fearing it, condemning it, or moralizing about it. It means to drop judgment and to see that it is just a feeling. The technique is to be with the feeling and surrender all efforts to modify it in any way. Let go of wanting to resist the feeling. It is resistance that keeps the feeling going. When you give up resisting or trying to modify the feeling, it will shift to the next feeling and be accompanied by a lighter sensation. A feeling that is not resisted will disappear as the energy behind it dissipates.” ― David R. Hawkins, Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender
In 2020 Julie was a home schooling mum, teaching community art on line.
She'd never considered starting a business - she did what she did because she loved it.
And then something happened.
And Julie took the rage, added it to her passion, and started her own business.
During her first launch, she hoped for 20 founding members in her new membership. She got over 300.
Right now, her business is at $500k/year, she has 6 staff members who are all home school mums who can work around their schedules, and Julie is still loving what she does.
I LOVED finishing off my bonus series on "What's Possible When You Make a Decision" with this conversation because it's living proof that passion, a willingness to get messy and a decision to just keep going will always pay dividends.
You can find Julie on Instagram , Facebook and The Tikky Tok @ Soul Sparklettes Art
I don't believe you don't know WHAT to do
I don't believe you don't now HOW to do it
What I do believe is that you don't know WHY you can't or don't do the things you need to do to grow your small/online business
And that's why today I'm talking about why I honestly believe, the breakthrough that you're looking for in your business is going to require a life coach, NOT a business coach.
In order to show you why I think this is true, I'm going to share with you THREE common problems that business owners want coaching on and why LIFE coaching, no business coaching, is where they find the answer.
I will show you why you don't need coaching on PRODUCTIVITY or TIME MANAGEMENT
I will show you why your ENERGY is so important and how life coaching is how you generate it
I will show you why STRATEGY is almost NEVER the problem and it's costing you a lot of time and a lot of money to keep thinking that.
Listen, I've spent over £80k on coaching, masterminds and certifications. And most of it didn't work. Because I wasn't the person to work it (you'll 'get this' when you listen to the podcast).
I want YOU to succeed in your business.
Because you feel passionate about it
Because it's what you want
Because it will be the best lesson you can give your children
Because you will contribute to changing the world for the better
Having me as your 1-1 coach is going to show you exactly how to create those internal, thought and energetic changes so that you not only know WHAT to do and HOW to do it but exactly WHO you need to be so that you can execute consistently, manage the discomfort of the journey and see all results as data and not a personality defect!! Ready? Book your free consult here.
As a life coach, I obviously work with clients because they want to change their life in some way. They have a result in their life they don't want and/or they have a result they do want.
BUT what happens when you keep getting a result you DON'T want?
I think there are TWO decisions you can make
I'm talking about these more in depth in this episode, and of course, giving you some work you can start implementing now.
Something that I am very passionate about is helping my clients make peace with where they are NOW. We simply cannot make powerful decisions for ourselves, changes and goals if we are always in the energy of frustration for where we are.

What's possible when you make a decision?
What becomes possible and available to you and for you.
Welcome back to another bonus episode in this series about decisions.
Today I'm talking to Magda, an old school friend that I've not seen for 30 years.
However, after seeing a FB post last year, where she was celebrating not drinking for 2 years, I was compelled to reach out.
Her post about becoming sobert was so raw and compelling that I wanted to know more.
What had made her choose sobreity?
How had she navigated the journey, and were there times when she considered changing her mind?
And how was her life different now? How did she manage the things that had been a trigger for her drinking in the first place?
What I found really interesting was that Magda didn't class herself as an alcoholic - it was more of a realisation about how it influenced her decisions - which we talk about in depth in this podcast.
The reason I wanted to bring this conversation to you today was because as business owners, we manage a lot of stress, anxiety, uncertainty and overwhelm. And it's a human reaction to NOT want to feel these things.
Alcohol offers us that release.
It's also highly glamorised AND YET, with an increasing number of Alcohol Free products on the market, celebrities choosing sobriety and literature to help us live the alcohol free life.. and wanted to speak to someone who had taken the choice and is living proof of that decision.
So get ready - this is a good one!!
Fail to plan. Plan to fail.
But what if, the answer to you reaching your goals was actualling PLANNING FOR FAILURE?
If you have the "I'll start again tomorrow" convo way too many times and you feel like you're always putting the effort in to your goals YET you are never far from the start line - this is for YOU!
The probelm with popular goal setting strategies is that it implies that where you are to where you to be is nothing more that a set of actions.
BUT, there's a fundamental flaw with that. And i'm telling you what that is inside today's episode.
The problem is NOT the strategy, the solution is in execution and the process is looking for potholes.
Intruiged? Great.. take a listen.
And please do support me by leaving me a review and sharing this podcast. Thanks muchly!!
If you're looking for your own 1-1 life coach, let's chat. Book your free consult here.
What if there were NO right decision?
What if thinking you need to make a different decision is a fear response?
What if 100% commitment is easier than 98%
We're diving in to all of this, during this 2 part of the Decisions podcast.
In epsiode #168 it was all about the inspiration and creating your Decision Manifesto.
In today's episode it's all about the MOTIVATION...
How do you make the "right" decision?
What do you need to be wary of when you're looking at a new decision?
How do you be the person who does the do?
Making powerful and quick decisions is a foundational part of coaching. If you want to find out how you can make and act from powerful decisions so you can get the results you want in your life, book your free consultation now.
I realised that during these bonus episodes, i've been focusing on decisions that have created a sort of "fanfare or book worthy" outcome.
And that, with that focus, I've completely ignored the fact that I know that YOU have made a tonne of decisions in your life, that were courageous, that you've not given yourself credit for because there wasn't a fanfare, or a book worthy outcome.
There was a change of path. There was a commitment to what you needed. There was the love of another person.
It was a decision that was BIG to you because OUR life changing decisions are subjective. Just because they're not even in someone elses mind space, it doesn't deny the impact in our life.
So today this is ALL ABOUT YOU - being your own inspiration and giving yourself credit for the amazing being you are and all the tough sh*t you've navigated and survived! I'm applauding you. Seriously.
The Decision Manifesto - Steps
I make decisions to honour my values of love, freedom and growth and to create & access the feelings of curiosity, connection and presence so that I can inspire, motivate and coach others to create and life a life of Alchemy.
Beautiful right?
Self Judgement is how conditioned mind keeps control over your life - Cheri Huber
After having a bit of a meltdown this weekend over impending perimenopause(details in the podcast).. I got to thinking about self judgement.
I realised a few things
Let me tell you, I hold gold medals in several Self Judgement categories so I am well rehearsed in The Model of self judgement. I understand how the thoughts pierce your brain with their claws, clinging and scratching inside your head.
I know how it feels to drag those feelings around in your body, walking in to rooms feeling like you are wearing a neon sign that says "I don't fit in here". I know what it's like to wake up with the first thought being that of self hate and self judgement right then would seem positively luxurious.
I also know how it feels to make peace with self judgement and to change the model to self acceptance and self love.
In this episode, my intention is to provide insight, hope and options to help you do the same. From my heart to yours..

In today's bonus episode from the series, "What's Possible When You Make a Decision", I'm introducing you to Tabita.
Tabitha is the owner of Fit For Grace Coaching (find her on Instagram, Facebook and website), a mother of EIGHT and a professional body builder.
With over 20 years in the health and fitness industry, Tabitha was making about $10k selling her services and did it "for fun" and "becasue I love it".
However, during the pandemic, Tabitha found herself in a place that she didn't want to stay and after some therapy, found her way to life coaching.
It was the match that started the fire.
What I find so fascinating, grounding and inspiring about Tabitha's story - is that she always came from a place of "sitting in possibility" - and you'll hear in the episode how that has allowed her to always stay in "messy action".
In January 2022 she decided to actually LAUNCH her business and a life and health coach, trusting that she had something to offer.
She was booked out almost immediately.
What happened over the next 12 months is powerful and exciting and a reflection of Tabitha's willingness to be messy, borrowing beliefs, managing downward spirals and her faith.
So, you know what to do, grab you coffee, pen and paper and let's dive right in.

Lower your goals AND hit bigger goals? Say whaat???? This podcast was inspired by a post I saw this week on Insta - offering me 3 steps to make $13m..and my brain offered me all these crappy thoughts. And it got me to thinking. When we feel that our goals have to be THAT BIG, it can create such a huge fear (and shame) response that it blocks us from taking action toward our goals. Toward the new life we want to create. I also know, with certainty, that when you pick the next "water station" you WILL get results, and get them quicker because you feel EMPOWERED. . I know that when you feel that the outcome is available to you, you will take consistent action. If you are someone who gets sucked in by the "biggest and best results promises" and then fall in to impossibility and unavailability for YOU, then this podcast is a MUST listen. At the end of the day.. look at this way $13m can only happen $1 at a time A 6 pack can only happen one meal and one workout at a time The intimate and connected relationship can only happen one, intentional action at a time.

At the age of 69, Ron decided to train for a solo IronMan. Due to covid, he wasn't able to complete it until September 2022, at the age of 71 and in just 15 hours.
But for Ron, it wasn't so much about the physical challenge - but more about using it as a vehicle to exorcise the demons of childhood abuse, that he'd carried his whole life.
Raising money for the National Association of People Abused in Childhood, Ron tells us how every cycle and every run was a way to "squeeze the bas*ard" out of his mind and his life, once and for all.
As part of the "What's Possible When You Decide" series, I feel that this interview is more about what happens when you KEEP deciding. Keep deciding that you are worthy. Keep deciding that you can love yourself. Keep deciding that there is a different future available.
I have listened to many of Ron's stories when we spent a couple of months working together, and I continue to be inspired by this man over and again. Thank you Ron for sharing your story with us.

When you're trying to build your small business, it's easy to believe that you need to do more.
That you need to be working harder.
That you need to be doing 'all the things'.
But if you're not seeing the growth you want in your business AND you spend too much time feeling anxious and overwhelmed AND your thoughts feel invasive... then I'm here to tell you that it's time to FIND YOUR HARD.
Finding Your Hard starts with the PET process.
Once you've done that you need to start asking yourself "Whats my hard, that i've not been able to see before because of what I thought I SHOULD be doing".
AND HERE'S WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS..
Notice that when you define hard as a strict regime, more on your schedule, working longer, doing all the things - you're still not getting the results you want. AND at the same time you feel awful.
When you have the courage to find and choose your hard, you WILL find the way to take small and aligned action that gets you IN action every day. And what does action, every day create? RESULTS!

So in this episode I'm introducing you to the 3 most common archetypes I see:
The Thinker.
The Yo-Yo'er
The Achiever

At the age of 22, Jamie became paralysed from the waist down, and down the left side of his face, due to an auto immune condition.
His doctors said this very rare condition had no known cause nor cure, and that he would be medicated for the rest of his life for the pain.
But Jamie had different ideas.
He made a very different, and very powerful decision. And today you get to find out what that is. (I've marked this as explicit as there are a couple of curse words and I don't want to offend anyone!)
WELCOME
I am so fascinated by the human brain and how we choose to use it. That when, in our soul, we make a decision, we can literally change our lives.
And so I decided to do some bonus podcasts where I interview amazing people who have done just that.
I met Jamie, when he faciliated a Wim Hoff workshop that I attended in November 2022.
I was blown away by his story and his energy and it was then that I decided to start recording these interviews.
Micro Steps
One of the most profound and valuable shares in this interview, for me, was the realisation of the quatum change Jamie created in his life from MICRO steps.
He was SO invested in this outcome that he was willing to give it the time and detail that it needed.
In a world where we get so discouraged when we don't get our big wins quick enough; where the 'microwave mentality' causes so much anxiety and disconnection - Jamie's willigness to forget the time line, is a powerful and grounding message.
If you'd like to follow Jamie (which I highly recommend you do) and find out where he's running his next workshops, you can do so here:

The single most common problem that I see small business owners struggling with is managing their emotions - specifically, how can they STOP their results making them feel negative.
So in today's episode I have ONE goal - to help you disembark the emotional roller coaster and divorce your emotions from the results you get in your business.
The truth is, emotions cause more small business owners to close their business than anything else.
And worse than that, I think they often believe it's "something about them" that makes them feel that way.
Let me tell you this... it's perfectly NORMAL to have all the emotions in your business. It's a challenging journey and it's one that most people in the world wouldn't dream of - so you're already winning.
HOWEVER - if you do want your business to succeed, then you WILL need to understand how to manage your emotions.
When I'm coaching my clients I use a framework called The Success Triad - and it will literally get you any result you want in your life and business. As the name suggests there are 3 pillars
Today you're going to discover - why these emotions happen, what will happen if you don't deal with them and how to start changing them NOW. Remember, download The Model workbook to get the most out of this episode.

There's a version of yourself you haven't met yet. Keep showing up until you are introduced - Jim Kwik.
I think THIS is the most important thought to hold on to if you are the kind of person who is wanting to create a change in your life, to hit your goals and to create any result you want.
Because in a world that wants to sell you systems and strategies, no-one is actually telling you that 7% ish of people of buy such things succeed. Not many people want to tell you that the common denominator between every person who succeeds in creating and living the life they want is HOW THEY CHOOSE TO THINK.
And it's this commitment to CHOOSING THOUGHTS that creates the version of you that you haven't met yet.
Think about it. I doubt you're the same person as you were 20 years ago. Life has changed you. Perhaps you have taken on new roles such as mum, husband, wife, care giver. Maybe you took on a different job role. Maybe you moved countries - all of these changes, changed YOU.
But what if... your whole life could change by you CHOOSING to change. By BE-coming who you need to be.
I remember when I used to go to slimming club. There were two types of people. Type A were the ones who did really great for most of the week, pigged out the weekend, starved themselves the day of the weigh in and then brushed off their lack of results with, "i'll start again tomorrow" or "life's too short not to enjoy yourself".
Type B were the ones who completed the diary sheets, who counted their points, who got creative and resourceful with cooking, who created balance throughout the week, who worked out. They owned their results on the scales.
Type A was a MUCH bigger group than Type B.
Type A took action with the same identity. Type B chose to be a different person to take action in commitment to the result you wanted.
So take a listen and remember, email me at contact@louisecartwright.com or dm me on FB or Insta with where you experience resistance to what i'm sharing so I can help you.
Do you want to guarantee you get results this year? Do you want to make changes in your life? Do you want to feel that you can make that happen, find out how to make that happen and commit to making it happen? Then i'd love to chat with you about how my 1-1 coaching can get you there.. book your free consult here.
I ran a workshop yesterday on “Managing Your Thoughts & Emotions”. Through the day, I coached people on fixing their marriage, developing a healthier relationship with food and body image, changing careers even though they didn’t know what they wanted and how to love yourself enough to put yourself back in the dating scene.
And it occurred to me, that every person had the same problem, which wasn’t the problem they thought they had.
It would be safe to assume that when you are struggling to create change it’s because you don’t know the “how”. Or that you haven’t found the right “how” yet.
BUT…. We have a infinite supply of both, at the end of our fingers, with search engines and social media. We can learn how to do, change or achieve anything. For free. If we wanted to.
WELL IT MUST BE THOUGHTS THEN right ? You don’t have the right thoughts. You have limiting beliefs. You don’t know HOW to think
And to some degree this is true..Last weeks episode on why Mindset might actually be the problem well give you more perspective on this.
In this podcast i give you examples to show you how this is true too.
So yes, thinking IS a creative force.
You see, in The Model, I show you exactly how Thoughts, Feelings and Action are intertwined and create your results.
Join my FREE workshop on Eventbrite to learn how to use The Model for yourself.
And when you want to change your life, set and hit goals, you have to leave one thing behind…
THE CERTAINTY OF WHERE YOU ARE
Your brain knows what to expect. Nothing new is happening. There’s no more difficult emotions to feel. Because it’s not your brain that hates feeling that way. It’s your SOUL!
EMOTIONAL CERTAINTY IS HOLDING YOU BACK frome the results, goals and life that you want
ANSWER?
I'll tell you what I think the answer is and the fundamental belief that I have about what's at the bottom of ALL success.
GRAB YOUR SPACE ON MY FREE WORKSHOP THIS WEEK
"MANAGING YOUR THOUGHTS & EMOTIONS"- replay will be available

I've been thinking a lot about the word "mindset".
And I started to discover that there is a possibility that "working on your mindset" could be doing you more harm than good.
The word mindset COULD imply that
1.. That it's something personal and have you feeling and thinking that there is something wrong with you 2.. That the thoughts you have and the thoughts you choose are the same thing
3.. That there is a SET end point, where you'll be fixed and your mind will be totally onboard
So in this episode I want to offer you 3 perception shifts that will make this work easier to implement, more helpful especially if you are new to it and most importantly, let you be KINDER to yourself.
I am SO convinced of this and the power that it has to change you life that I want you to join me on a free training - that I've literally just decided to run. I've thrown a wait list landing page together and I will be going live before the end of this month (feb 23)... I'm going to make sure i have time to coach some of you too so that you can see this work in action.

Notice what happens in your brain when you tell yourself “I’m don’t have motivation or I’m not motivated”. You make it personal. You make it mean something about YOU.
And how does THAT make you feel? Crappy, right?
And do you do the things you need to when you have those thoughts & emotions? NO!!The truth is this: You don’t HAVE motivation, you GENERATE it
So today, I want to talk to you about what motivation really is and how you can generate, grow and sustain it! And as always, I’ll give you something to implement right away
Lets start with how you might define and expect to experience motivation
3 ways that DESTROY motivation
#1. Letting your results determine your degree of motivation
#2. Defining motivation in terms of how much you get done/productivity
#3. Relying on extrinsic motivation
The biggest motivation killer is having the subconscious thought, on loop, that THIS OUTCOME IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR ME… How in gods name can you stay motivated when you really don’t believe in the inevitability of your success?
THOUGHTS> EMOTIONS> ACTIONS> RESULTS..

How much energy are you wasting in NOT making a decision?
Maybe you tell yourself it's just because you are wanting to make sure it's THE RIGHT decision?
But what if that's a story? And what if that story is doing your success or results harm?
I work with a lot of clients who are busy. Alpha females are super good at taking action. Getting organised. Motivating and inspiring.
But they're not so good at making decisions to STOP this cycle of action and exhaustion.
I see 3 common reasons why my clients choose NOT to make decisions.
The human need for certainty
They don't trust themselves
FOMO - what if the other choice would have been so much better?
And I'm sharing with you why these are all just head drama. AND.. how you get to choose differently. Manage Your Thoughts & Emotions with my free workbook
Book your free consult with me now and find out how you can get any result you want, in less time and without hustle or burn out..
As a small business owner, there is nothing more frustrating and confusing than working your ass off and not seeing the results for it.
Feeling frustrated, exhausted and overwhelmed, your brain is filled daily with thoughts of,
"What am I doing wrong?"
"What am I NOT doing?"
"What else can I do?"
And THAT is the problem
Because as a small business owner, I am almost 100% sure that taking action is not something you shy away from.
I would guess that you are an action taker.
That your brain never switches off from all the things you are to do, could do, should do.
BUT LET ME ASK YOU...
How long will you keep doing this and not getting the results you want?
Isn't it true that there could be another reason that you're not getting the results you want?
In this episode I'm going to share that reason with you.
AND i'm going to tell you how to change it. INSTANTLY.
Be sure to listen to Ep #152 and download your worksheet to get the most out of this episode.
It was just another Saturday swim at the lake with my sister and friend.
Only it wasn't just another Saturday.
And that was my first mistake.
About 30 minutes later I was getting pulled out of the lake by the lifeguard.
I learned 3 very valuable life lessons that day.
3 lessons that I try and live by every day to bring more mental, emotional and spiritual presence to my days.
Alpha Female
I used to pride myself on the Alpha Female traits... but are they what they are cracked up to be?
Is a "healthy" place to find ourselves ... or are we all leading ourselves to a place where we'll need to be rescued?
There are NO medals given for being a f*cking Island, and yet, for some many of us we do it all alone.
We leave much needed conversations hanging.
We exhaust ourselves in pursuit of being self sufficient and the answer to everything.
We show others it's NOT ok to ask for help.
What are we teaching our children?
One thing that drives me more than ever is this thought,
"What am I showing my children to be true?"
My girls, at 21 and 22, are young adults and I already see the impact of the conditioning I created before "I knew better".
I don't beat myself up over it, I didn't know different AND, at the same time, I know that I can still create a more posititve influence on them and help THEM to be role models for the future.
So please, grab your notepad and lean in hard to this episode.

This is the 2nd of 2 coaching frameworks that I'm sharing, to ensure that you finish this year feel clear and powerful.
To supplment this work, please make sure you download you free workbook and sign up for my free training in January..
So let me introduce you to The Model. A simple and transformative framework developed by Brooke Castillo, founder of The Life Coach School.
It helped me so much as I navigated starting my business again after the death of my dad.
My clients are loving it.
And YOU will love it too.
There are 5 simple steps
Circumstance
Thoughts
Feelings
Actions
Results
In this episode I'm showing you exactly how to use The Model so you can finally get any result you want.
Are you ready?
Lets go..
This time of the year it’s easy to check out.
Especially if you don’t have the results that you wanted to create over the last 12 months.
And that’s really why I detest New Year’s Resolutions. It’s just another false starting point when in truth, we have a choice in every moment to make a powerful, new decision rather than a decision from resignation.
So this week I'm going to COACH YOU!
I want you to have a sense of clarity and certainty BEFORE New Year arrives.
I want you to feel anchored in to resourceful and powerful emotions AND taken a step toward creating the self concept you need in order to start creating the results you want.
And before we start, here’s a thought I want you to borrow as we do this work together.
THERE IS PLENTY OF TIME LEFT THIS YEAR FOR ME TO GET DIFFERENT RESULTS AND CREATE A POWERFUL PLAN FOR GROWTH.
Because I’m going to be sharing coaching resources that I use with my clients, I’ve created a PDF for you to download so that you can really maximise the potential of this work DOWNLOAD IT HERE.
So if you’re ready, lets dive in to the GROW model of coaching and get you moving!!
THE GROW MODEL IS A FOUR-STEP FRAMEWORK.
G – GOAL - Getting clearer on your goal and have an understanding of why it’s important to you and what values it meets for you .
R – Reality. Where are you at now. Create some context for creating action steps based on that.
O – Generting options and seeing opportunities for growth and action
W – Way forward. This is your commitment.
What I’m going to do now is give you 3 questions in each stage and my suggestion is that you answer them ALL – even if it feels like you are repeating yourself.
A big part of growth is challenging the models with we function within in life. Because those models have created who we are and what we have.
Change requires changing our models (most of the time) and so give yourself permission to do the things even if your brain tells you why you shouldn’t!
REMEMBER: I’VE CREATED A PDF FOR YOU TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH THIS PROCESS
I’m also going to give you a few coaching tips and concepts to help guide you through this process.
G – GOAL - Here are the 3 concepts. Get the questions on the pdf and in the show
R- Reality
O – Options & Opportunities
W- Way Forward
What I want you to do:
Carve yourself a couple of hours to DO THIS WORK. Don’t check out, check in to your dreams!!

I'm offering Q&A/Hot seat coaching to supprt this coadhing on Monday 19th and Thursday 22nd December 2023. The zoom link will be sent via email when you grab the pdf.
You don't have to feel motivated, excited or ready to take action toward your goals.
But there is a belief that you do.
And then when you don't, you are making it mean all kinds of crappy things about you.
MOTIVATION ISN'T SOMETHING YOU HAVE
The truth is, motivation isn't something you have. It's something you generate.
And it's human nature to feel scared, not excited, when you are doing something new, something bold.
But what you are making it mean about you is the very thing thats stopping you from hitting your goals.
I lost all my confidence
I share this with you from a place of 100% understanding. After closing my business down, and starting from scratch after my dad died - I've been bombarded with anxiety, uncertainty, overwhelm and all that jazz.
So how did I keep showing up, every day in some way, for my goals, my purpose, my people.
It came down to TWO THINGS and that's what I'm sharing with you in this episode.

In this episode, I have the pleasure of coaching Sarah & Michelle, owners of Purple Parenting,
They LOVE what they do, they are GREAT at what they do, but they often feel like growing their business is like walking through treacle.
Some of the Thoughts that they shared were:
. Social media isn't my expertise
. I don't want to give up my privacy for social media
. There's a cycle of doing well and then things stop/slow down
. We're doing ok, but we're not growing and we dont know how to
. This is really hard/we've been here before
. When we keep getting the same results we feel demoralised and unmotivated
You'll hear (or you can watch the interview on YouTube )that by the end of the session, they had cleaned up their thoughts, activated a very different and more empowered energy and could clearly see how this could generate better results in their business.

I understand why you think that you have to focus on the "How To", the strategy, as the primary way to grow your online business.
But let me ask you, "How's that going for you?"
I understand why you think this is THE way. Almost every course & program teaching you to grow your business is about "How to...build your emai list/get a viral video/generate traffic/get more sales"...
But if "How To" were the way, then with the courses you have already purchased (along with the freebies and challenges and webinars..) you would have the results you want by now. Or at least be further toward them, right?
In this podcast episdoe I also share the stories of Sarah Blakeley and her husband, both of whom created hugely financially successful business without a "definite plan".
So what do Powerful Achievers do differently?
They know that their #1 success habit is CHOOSING how to think and how to BE.. and i'm showing you how to do the same so that you can stop being the Dizzy Dreamer and become the Powerful Achiever.

I am blessed to coach with many intutitive and empathic people in my business.
BUT, a common problem for them is knowing when to trust their intuition over what they are being told by industry experts and guru's.
In this bonus episode, Anne came with this exact question. After decades of NOT acting on her intutitive guidance, only to find someone then successfuly monetising the ideas that she had been told wouldn't work by an "expert", she was ready to get coaching on how to do this differently.
Please listen to this episdoe carefully as I offer some coaching for everyone listening on how Intuition can actually be a disguise for fear and procrastination.
The only way to really know if this is happening to you is to ask, "do I have the results that I desire in my business?". If not, it may be time for some honesty.
What I want to make clear here also is that experts are experts for a reason. They have reached a level of success of achieved something that we desire and value. It's something that we are often working toward. And as the saying goes, 'success leaves clues'. BUT... giving away your power is never a success strategy and if, like Anne, you are seeing evidence that your intuition was right, it's time to be brave and do something differently.
Remember to DOWNLOAD YOUR SELF COACHING CARD DECK NOW
So that you can start to experience the transformational power of giving your brain better questions. And if you're really up for the challenge and the change, ask yourself some of the questions that I asked Anne and see what comes up for you.

AND
You know some or all of the things you need to be doing to make the change
AND
you want this thing really bad
BUT
You just DON'T do the things.
No matter how many times you start over. No matter how many times you promise yourself, "this is it". No matter what, you give in, give up, check out.
I was asked by one of my YouTube subscribers to do a video on this and decided it was too valuable not to share here with you, on my podcast.
So in this episdoe I'm sharing
5 Reasons Why You Don't Do The Things You Need To
What I REALLY love about doing this episode, is that I am currently living in this breakthrough. I am KNOWING it. This will make sense when you take a listen.
I can't begin to tell you how much my business, relationship and health has changed in 8 weeks since doing THIS work, THE work, the INNER work - on a level i've never done before (there needs to be another podcast on what the difference is!)
You will DEFINITELY need a pen and paper for this one.... and I really invite you to consider the things I share to see how they relate to you and guide you to where you can start making a difference today!

The belief that "I have to work hard to get the results" is a VERY common belief that has many small business owners exhausted AND without the results that they're working hard to get.
And it's no surprise. We live in a world that glorifies the hustle. If you're the same age as me, it's likely your parents used to say things like "nothing comes easy", "life is hard" and "you don't get something for nothing"... and that's a just a few of the infinite library of "FACTS" that have been fed to use over the years.
I don't know about you, but I notice in myself that as I absorbed this very male dominant message of "if you want it, you'll make your eyes bleed for it", I myself embodied a very alpha male personality. It was only really last year that I realised I stepped completely away from my femininity which affected both my business and personal life.
Now, if that wasn't bad enough, we are now living in the "microwave culture" which means that we want everything now. Imagine how our brain then interprets the information.. you're working hard, you don't have the results yet and it's taking you ages... we see ourselves as a failure and so the story perpetuates that, "I'm obviously not working hard enough".
In today's episode, Cathy kindly and courageously asks for coaching on this topic and my invitation to you is this. Take this coaching as YOURS. Notice where you feel resistance to what's being asked.. because that's likely where YOU need to go. See if you can commit to choosing a different strategy moving forward so that you can rewire your brain to a more powerful thought AND start getting results with more ease.

You don't need a Plan B.
In fact, a Plan B could be THE reason that Plan A isn't working.
Think about when you fell in love with your partner. Did you invest time and energy seeking a "back up". Nope. I threw yourself in to that honeymoon phase.
And imagine if someone training to swim The English Channel showed up for every part of their training thinking, "Oh well, I can always get in the boat".
A Plan B isn't a safety net. It's a way to strangle the life out of your hopes and dreams and that's what we're discussing in this weeks podcast episode.

When you're struggling to reach your goals, business or personal, it's easy to believe it's because you're not DOING something.
You ask yourself, "what is it that I'm missing? What are the things I'm not doing that would make sure I reached my goals?".
But what if.... It's actually about what you have to LET GO of?
What if there are some things that you're doing, holding on to and giving meaning to, that are blocking your reaching your goals?
In today's episode of The Your Rich Life Podcast, I'm sharing with you 5 Things to Let Go of... that will help you reach your goals.

Getting distracted with new, inspirational ideas in your business is often fear in disguise
I get why you do it and why it feels so right. There’s a lot more “soulful” business advice out there now, that tells us to “follow our intuition” and “listen for the downloads” and “drop in your heart not your head”.
But in this episode I'm going to show you how why your intutive voice COULD actually be your HABIT voice.
And how listening to that voice, you trot off and get caught up in new branding colours; creating a new offer or course; designing in canva – and now you’ve appeased your fear brain.
But costs you more than progress in your business.
Listen to the full episode to find out how you can start to differentiate between your intution and your habit voice so that you can develop the power to direct your mind to create your success.

MAN CANNOT FORCE THE EXTERNAL TO BE WHAT HE IS NOT...
So let me ask you, how much are you focusing on the outside - what to DO - vs the inside, who to BE, when it comes to growing your business.
If you have been trying to grow your online business (create more income and impact) so that you have have the life you want to live BUT nothing's changed for at least 6 months - this is for YOU!
WE ARE CONDITIONED
To commit to our limitations. It's the way our stories work, it's the way our brain works.
YOU ARE ALWAYS WIRING YOUR BRAIN
Every minute, of every day, you are wiring your brain. You are either
or
In this episode my intention is to help you know, like in your CELLS know, that the answer you keep searching for is much closer to home. It's IN YOU!!!
YOUR SELF CONCEPT CREATES YOUR REALITY
I'll give you two examples in today's podcast episode. There are 3 steps i'm covering
Explain why you cannot experience in your reality what you are not, internally - so that you KNOW it
Help you discover your patterns so that you UNDERSTAND it
Give you one simple exercise so that you can start living and creating FROM it.
In this episode I mention listening to my episode where I talk about creating the container. Listen here.
If you are ready to learn and implement my Personal Power Philsophy so you can hit your goals, book your free consult call with here.
Is focusing on your online business growth strategies an outdated way to grow your audience and income?
I can see why you’d think it is. It makes sense doesn’t it? Just look at all the courses on line designed to help you do just that.
Hot to - do your branding, write better content, create an online course, launch said course, start a podcast, do social media ads. The list is endless.
But if you have fallen into that trap, I’m going to hazard a guess that you have not seen the growth you wanted and that your audience and income growth have been plateaued for at least 3 months.
Have you considered that there are people who have grown their business this way and not felt successful. Steven Bartlett is a great example. He became a millionaire business owner by 25(?) but now says he sacrificed his friendships, family and intimate relationships. He didn’t feel successful and he had to start over again and do it a different way.
And I bet you’re in some communities now where you’ve bought a course/program to help you grow your business in some way and most people there will NOT be succeeding. Right?
So what do you need to do instead?
In this episode I'm going to show you what my Personal Power Philsophy is and why it's THE way for you to stop spinnnig your wheels of stagnation in your business.
What you need to remember is that your brain is actually wired to seek evidence of the stories we hold.
OUR job, if we want to change our reality, is to seek evidence of the contrary.
I want you to notice as I speak with you today, if what I'm saying
That’s how you know how willing you are to recreate your stories!!
Action has limited powerful without elevated expectations and intention
Doing this work will mean you will change how yow show up in life, not just your business. Your business is simply an extension of how you’re showing up in other areas of you life. That’s why life coaching is business coaching.

Welcome back to this special Bonus Series, we are now on episode 3. This entire series has ONE purpose.. and that is to ensure that you do NOT end up at the end of this year, in the same place you were stuck last year. and maybe the year before that.
.
So in each episode I'm addressing a problem that is keeping you stagnating at the same results, over and over, and telling you how to change it NOW..
.
In this episode I'm talking to you about Creation Disconnect... How do you know if you are suffering? Read on..
If you’re an online business owner and you’ve had limited growth and engagement on your social media for at least 3 months, which has reflected in your sales which have been stagnant and consequently you are suffering with emotions of anxiety, frustration and overwhelm daily the please listen up, because you may be stuck in what I call Creation Disconnect.
Now if this sounds like you, I’m willing to bet that you are doing the following:
Listen to the podcast to find out this mistakes you're doing trying to FIX this problem, and what I want you to do instead.
If you want to know how to go from Creative Disconnect to Creative Connection and to transform your business AND the way you feel whilst your're working on growing it so that you CAN succeed, book your free consultation call here.
A UK report showed 64% of small business owners report suffering with anxiety.
And it's no surprise. Many of us start our business from a place of personal experience and passion to help others. We don't have the identity of business owner and we are not prepared, in any way, for the multitude of challenges (emotional, mental and physical) that present to us every day.
Don't Try and Be Like Everyone Else
In my opinion, what exacerbates the problem, is that you then get in to comparison.
"Why don't I have all my sh*t together like everyone else" (only now you know that most other people are all thinking the same, right??)
We convince ourselves we have to "Be like them" and "do it like them" and all the while we are simply strengthening the stories of limitation about ourselves, abilities and possibilities.
3 Steps
In this episode I am sharing 3 incredibly SIMPLE steps for you to implement that means you WILL grow your business even if you are struggling with anxiety, overwhelm and uncertainty.
You will STOP:
Procrastinating
Waiting for the "right" answer
Questioning every decision or action
Stopping and starting
Beating up on yourself for having these emotions

FOCUSING ON REMOVING YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS IS THE SLOWEST WAY TO GROW YOUR ONLINE BUSINESS! In fact, it could even be sabotaging your business. Now, it’s ok that you think that. I mean, why wouldn't you? Because there are plenty of “mindset guru’s” out there telling you that once you get rid of your limiting beliefs, your success is inevitable. But I’m willing to bet, that if you’ve been following that advice, your sales and social growth have been stagnant for at least the last 3 months (maybe way longer?) What's REALLY happening when you focus on removing your limiting beliefs? You're NOT growing. You choosing which action to take based on what you think the outcome might be and whether it triggers your limiting beliefs. AND... as you know, what you focus on you expand - so you're actually making the situation worse. In EVERY way. Do you know someone? The truth it, if that were THE answer, then everyone who had used NLP or EMDR or subconscious reprogramming (and the like), would be bathing in their business success. But they’re not. And I'm going to show you another assumption that you're making when you focus on removing your limiting beliefs! So, how DO you grow your online business if you’re aware you have limiting beliefs? You focus on 3 things and I'll tell you what they are in this episode. In this episode, I'll also tell you the story of Jesse Itzler, serial entrepreneur and husband of billionaire, Sara Blakely. He is a true lighthouse for those of you willing to align your brain, energy and action in order to get results and to implement the 3 steps I'm sharing with you today.

Before we start this episode, PLEASE make sure that you have listened to the previous three episodes..
Episode #1
Episode #2
Episode
In this final episode I'm starting with the need for us to
"Raise Our Ambition".. Most of us have no idea that we have expectation ceilings, until we spend months, maybe years trying to move past it.
I share with you a concept from the book, "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck".. which is this.... What are you willing to struggle for?
Watch the interview with Mark Bronson and Tom Bilyeu
I'll talk about WHO do we need to BE so that we can keep doing the things that we need to do? How do we do the hard stuff that others won't?
I'll as you, What is the true cost of you living below your expectation ceiling?
I'm going to invite you to find out what’s been holding you back and then make declarations for yourself on who you will BE as well as what you will DO to ensure you make steps toward the 90 day
If this is all brand new to you, I encourage you to know that you don’t’ need to stretch, you just need to start!
I refer to the book, Atomic Habits and his theory that all new habits should take less than 2 minutes to do - that sounds good, right?
One of the most important success habits you need to implement is SCHEDULING. Schedule like a ninja. Focus on the needle movers.
This isn't about the things that keep you busy or that keep everyone else happy. It's the things that are important to you and move you toward the vision that inspires you.
And i'll share with you how I prioritise and schedule.
Why is it imporant to swap Habitual for Ritual?
And I finish off with the following amazing quotes from Brendon Burchard's, The Motivation Manifesto
"Let us remember that when we take action an invisible force gathers all around us, pulling in opportunities that align with our purpose, propelling us with momentum toward our freedom. And so let us have the courage to face ourselves and ask, “am I taking enough bold and significant action in order to advance my life and reach my full potential? If I were unafraid and acting from my higher self what would I be doing to move forward in my life right now what steps must I take today and this week to begin to dramatically advancing my health, career, family and my purpose?
Great men and women do not give a damn if anyone approves. They rarely seek permission from the world because they know the masses bound by mediocrity will never approve of anything that breaks convention or smacks of boldness and magic.

Without fail, when I speak to small business owners who've gone from no/little financial success to financial success and indepedence - there is ONE COMMON THEME
And that's their decision to focus on what they were THINKING, how they chose to FEEL inside of their business REGARDLESS of the external circumstances and who they needed to BE so that they could also show up full for their vision.
We want to believe
That's it's an action that we're missing. It's a secret strategy that's currently eluding us; it's doing more stuff; being on more platforms etc.
But with a majority of small business owners stuck in this place and month after month, year after year, and STILL not making $$$$, when WILL be the time to investigate your energy as THAT strategy you're searching for.
In this 3rd episode we're talking about
"The limitless potential and possibility that you ARE, by nature of being a human being"...
And how your success requires your alignment with an outcome that already exists within the energetic realms.
Doubt is the energy that's preventing you make manifest the miracle you desire.
We're also talking about 3 more High Performance Habits that will help you create such alignment and take action within your business.
My question to you in this penultimate episode is this:
If you are 100% committed to your business and financial success, where are you willing to lean in hard, to double down?
Are you ready to let go of the belief that it's all about action?
Are you willing to become a mastery of your psychology and therefore your physiology?
What if your success really did depend on it?

I recognised in myself what i saw so much in my clients.
Chasing time!
Feeling like I’m running out or that I never have enough. Over committing to projects and/or others.
I’d been here before. I recognised the feelings and behaviours that come from these thoughts.
So I got in to my body and scratched below the surface. What did I find?That’s what I’m sharing in this episode... here's what I'm covering
It's important to remember that:
IN TIMES OF HIGH EMOTIONAL CHARGE, WE DEFAULT TO THINKING FROM OUR CIRCUMSTANCES AND LIMITATIONS.
That simply creates more of what you don’t want.
Identify how you experience the thought of "no time/lack of time" in your body
What feelings tones that create
Who are you being and how do you act from that place? .
“If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it”.
My coach reminded me of a word I'd chosen to embody after my dad died. And asked why I'd chosen to stop using it!! .
Being a business owner is a challenge. Yet we get to choose the attitude and energy with which we navigate it.
What word will you choose?
Today, i'm introudcing you to THE framework that includes EVERYTHING you need to create your Success Identity and therefore, your Divine Business Success.
And listen, I'll know you'll resist it
Because i did. And even now it's easy to slip back in to ACTION.
But there comes a time when you have to take a good, hard, honest look and say..
"How long have I been doing THIS for? Do I have the results I want? Am i preprared to lean in hard to something different, for the sake of creating the success I'm busting my butt to have?".
Don't beat up on yourself
Listen, since you were a child, every man and his dog has been telling you that 'hard work' is the answer.
Go to school, go to Uni, get a job and work hard, retire and die.
That's certainly what I believed was available to me as a child.
BUT TIMES ARE CHANGING.. AND THOSE THAT ARE REALLY SUCCEEDING IN BUSINESS & LIFE, ARE DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY
So let's dive right in will we?
I'll introduce you to my Framework and then teach you the fundamental 3 pillars that you're going to want to focus on to succeed. I've done it in a way that you can start using these right away.

Listen, I know how it feels to struggle with copy and messaging. I've been in business in some way for over 20 years, and for most of that, the "right copy" was my nemesis.
I invited a sh*t tonne of money, bought a load of programs - did all the things I thought I 'should'.
WHAT WE ARE TOLD TO DO IS...
Know your Ideal Client. Get in their head. Speak to them!
But your problem is NOT being unable to get in to your potential clients'head. It's the dirty thoughts going on in YOUR head about you, money, your offer and your clients.
YOUR CONTENT IS DELIVERED IN AN ENERGETIC ENVELOPE
And that envelope is made up of the REAL beliefs you're having about yourself, business, money, clients, possibilty and so on.
So YOUR WORK here is to create a powerful envelope and then watch as your delivery leads you to your divine and inevitable business success.
In this podcast epsiode I tell you why this is what you must do and how to get started
I'm going to start doing live training in my FB group, she be sure to join us.

Hello, and welcome back to the Lifepreneur podcast. Thank you for being here. I'm super excited in this series to be talking to you about how you can create your ultimate success identity.
So what even is that it's a framework that I have designed after working with hundreds of business owners over the last couple of years and realizing that actually we need to turn things on its head, my personal experience and the experience that I see a lot of my clients having is that we've all been driven to create or buy into strategies, a strategy to build our emailing list, a strategy, to create a, a fully booked diary, a strategy to sell a strategy, to create content strategy after strategy, but my personal experience again, and from what I see is actually that framework's upside down before we can fully engage in and take on board a strategy towards success.
The foundation of success is identity We need to realize that the foundation of our success at all points in our life is creating our identity. That allows us to be the person that we need to need to be, to do the things that we need to do to have those things that we want to have. And so I'm gonna talk to you through this series about how my framework helps you create your ultimate success identity in three basic steps. Over a period of time, I actually facilitate this transformation in my life printer academy. It's a seven month program that takes people through every stage of creating their ultimate success ID so that they can create their life of purpose, passion, and profit, because let's be honest, none of us wanna be in business to not make money. None of us wanna be in business to make money in a way that doesn't feel great.
We want it to get us out of bed None of us wanna be in a business that doesn't want us getting outta bed in the morning. And that's where I was. And that's why I do what I do today because my first five years in business were nothing sure of an emotional and physical hell. And this is where I wanna start today with the first stage of creating your ultimate success. Success identity is your mindset. As we go through today's podcast, I'm gonna be giving you some quotes and some parts of a book that I'm reading at the moment that I think is really gonna help you. Because what I know to be true is one of the biggest limiting beliefs I see with people in their set up, it's setting up in their business and trying to take their ni their life to the next level is that they have an inability to see past their current belief system.
Vision Boards Can Wreck Our Motivation So what that means is, and, and maybe some of you've experienced that maybe you've been to a convention, maybe you've been to a workshop and you are told, right, let's do a vision board. Let's write down what our dream life looks like, so that we can, we can reverse engineer how much money we need to make. And I remember this happening to me at an event back in 2012, and we had to sit down, there's about 300 people in this room, and everyone was busy writing away their, their dream lifestyle, the holidays they wanted to go on and the cars they wanted to drive and the, and the amount of people they wanted working for them and, you know, the experiences they wanted to have and the charities they wanted to set up. And in that moment, I felt like a complete fraud because my ambition was just to get a couple of clients.
I didn't want to have to buy my kids 2nd hand school uniform My ambition was, I didn't wanna be financially dependent on my husband. My ambition was that for the first time, I wanted to be able to go to a shop and buy my children, their school clothes. Instead of going to the second hand box in the school reception, I couldn't even think about driving a really nice car or having amazing holidays or doing something that made a big impact on other people's lives. The only life that I could think about in that moment was my own and making my life more bearable, making my life a little bit easier to deal with when I looked at my bank account every month and I was never ever in credit. And so in that moment of feeling like a fraud, and I was being told to think about this massive life. I didn't know then what I knew now.
And it was just that I was functioning within a software system, a subconscious belief system that had been given to me throughout my upbringing, and that I had the ability to change that once I knew that, and it took me to 2015 to be introduced to that concept, everything changed me. And it's my intention in this series particularly, is to ask you to see beyond your current reality, to ask you just to be open to the concept, that there is a reality out there waiting for you that probably bears very little resemblance to your current reality, but is absolutely 100% achievable for you. And to the first thing, before we dive into the whole mindset aspect of the ultimate success identity, I want to share with you a quote that I heard yesterday, an event from Oprah. And this may trigger some of you because I will be honest if I'd have heard this five years ago, I would've felt like it's okay.
Start with Significance If you Oprah, you're a multi BUM billionaire. You don't need to worry about paying the bills. And I would've felt like, you know, it is preaching to people that aren't at that level yet. What I know to be true now, because I've changed the way that I look at things. And I change the way that I investigate things is that it is up to us. The impact that something has when somebody imparts advice to you or shares something with you, their intention is often pure, pure of heart pure service, but our impact is defined by our own values, our own belief systems, our own experiences. So just better in mind as I give you this quote from Oprah, which, although I've only recently, literally yesterday, just heard it as I started living from this space and changing my, the energy around my business over the last 18 months, it has transformed everything for me, from the way that I show up for myself, the impact it's having on financially my business and the way in which I'm growing and scaling my business.
Everything has transformed exponentially from coming from this different energy space. So O Oprah says, don't worry about being successful, but work toward being significant and the success will follow. And what she means by that is when we are of significance, we are looking to positively impact other people's lives. But you know what I want to give you permission right now to, to be significant in your own life, to be the biggest influence on yourself and to believe moving forward from this moment on that there is a reality, an outcome, a life available to you that doesn't have to be a reflection of where you are now or in any way related to where you have come from.
How Can You Get Started? So how do we really start to create that ultimate success identity? When right now you might be absorbed by feelings of anxiety and overwhelm and lack of worth and not, enoughness not specially enough, not clever enough, not qualified enough, not experienced enough, we've all done it. It's really easy in this day and age to get connected, to comparison and to believe something based on our own internal environment. And what I mean by that is when we get into comparison, we are making an assumption based on what we are visually seeing and experiencing, but we're experiencing that, that emotion from our own experience. So if we don't feel great about ourselves, if we've never really, if we don't believe we've got anything to be proud of, if we don't think that we're making enough progress, if we are always down on ourselves, everything that we judge comes from that space. So as you listen to this series, I would like to invite you to connect in and to drop the judgment, to put a new pair of eyes
In, to come from a space of a mindset that is open to suggestion that is open to a new way of thinking, because I'm gonna share with you an exercise towards the end of this, this episode that got given to me in 2015, which changed everything for me, absolutely everything. It was the first time that somebody had told me, Louise, you're not your thoughts. You're not your behaviors. And you can start to change them and change your life. And I will share that with you shortly. So in the life Panera academy, the seven month transformational program that will get you creating your life of purpose, passion, and profit. The first tier of our triangle, the foundation is you, it's the foundation of your identity and reclaiming your power identity, rediscovering the power that you were born with. We are all conscious creators. We have just been role modeled and, and molded into believing that it has to be a certain way that things have to be linear, that there has to be hard work.
Don't Start With Action This action, action, action. My belief and my experience is that action that is carried on the back of powerful intention. And faith is transformational in creating a reality outside of what you can currently believe. Intention is the thing that carries you forward. When you are feeling a little bit rejected or you're feeling a little bit stuck. Intention is that success is the only outcome that you are willing to accept. Intention is Mo coming into a room and deciding that you will leave that room a better place when you go. So bear that in mind, we're setting the intention. Now that this short podcast is going to help you start to create your ultimate success identities so that you can be the person that you need to be to do the things that you need to do to have the things that you wanna have and create your life of purpose of passion and of profit, and to be significant, how powerful is that?
The Four Stages So as we start working on the mindset, we take it through four stages. The four stages for are stages. And the first stage is raising awareness, raising awareness of when you are living within your subconscious programs, functioning within that software that was installed within you, mainly between the ages of zero and seven, but we can still make belief systems after that. And how do you do that? How do you raise that awareness? Well, the first thing you can do is have a look at what results have I got in my life right now, how good are my relationships? How passionate do I feel about getting up every morning and striving to my best day? How do I look after myself physically, mentally, and emotionally? Do I feel like I have a mission? Do I have purpose every day? What's my money. Like, do I have good finances? Am I looking forward to the future? Your results are a direct reflection of your actions. Your actions are a reflection of your beliefs and your beliefs are simply the thoughts that you have over and over and over and over again.
And you see, once we can raise awareness, once we become more conscious regularly throughout our day, we're able to ask ourselves, is this serving me? What am I believing right now? What's that internal conversation that I'm having in my head, I'll share with you right now that I was with a coaching client this morning. We're we're coaching buddies. So we coach each other. And I said to her, you know, I'm seeing this trigger come up again. And this trigger's been showing itself every five to six months for the last couple of years, and it's much less, but the trigger is comparison.
And I was aware of it yesterday. And as I went to sleep last night, I was thinking about where it might have come from. And I asked my younger self, I traveled a little bit down my timeline. I asked my younger self, what are this about? And I've got a very clear picture of the fact that because I'm a twin comparison was natural. You see, we were called the twins. And so the people separated us by comparing us comparing the way that we looked. I was always the one with a fat face, you know, comparing the fact that my twin sister was very, very clever, much more clever than me at school. My sister was naturally more talented at PE at, you know physical education. So I was always the Chub, less cleverer one. And now I can look back and see how I tried to make up for that.
The Same Lesson By making people laugh by being a little bit louder because I needed to be seen. And isn't it interesting that 44 years later, sometimes that stuff still comes up, but it doesn't have to be the space from which I create anymore because I'm being conscious. I'm raising awareness of my internal conversation. So I can ask myself, is this serving me or is this holding me prisoner to a belief system? That's creating a reality that I really don't want. So that's the first stage of us starting to recreate our mind. The next step that our life preneur academy members go through is removal. We're use incredible tools like timeline therapy, EFT, which is emotional freedom technique, NLP to remove at root cause these destructive belief systems. Now some of you may not understand how this works, but let me just tell you something. That's true.
Beliefs Are Made Unconsciously We make our beliefs unconsciously. We learn unconsciously. And if we use the example of fear of flying I had horrific fear of flying, which I believe became about from a particularly turbulent flight back in around, I think it was about 1999. I'm showing my age now. And in that moment I was suffering with depression. I was alone on this flight. I was coming back to an, a, a home environment that I didn't wanna come back to. I felt lonely and isolated, and it was a nighttime flight. And the plane was bumping around all over the place. And what happened in that moment was a traumatic experience with a powerful, emotional response. Bam, in that moment, I became scared of flying. I didn't choose to do that. The belief was installed unconsciously, but conversely, the other side can happen. You see, what can happen is that when we are eliciting a powerful and positive emotional state, and we have an experience again, we can change and install a new, powerful and positive belief system just as easily equally.
So using the tools I've just described to you, we can go into our timelines, we can go into our energy bodies. We can go into our mindset and we can remove at root cause these belief systems that are keeping us in a straight jacket of a life that does not philosophy, joy and passion and fulfillment. I know because that's how my last, my life started to change. So let me take you back briefly to the exercise so that I remember to give this exercise to you. So it was 2015, it was about March, April, 2015. I had just moved into my brand new, personal training studio. I was earning great money before that. I had been a single parent claiming benefits. I was working once I stopped claiming benefits. When I met my, my husband. I got a job in office because we couldn't afford to be not be working.
The Money Didn't Change My Emotions And I was earning seven pound 50 an hour to start with. I think I got a pay rise to nine by the time I'd left seven years later and I was taking home 700 pound a month for 80 hours work. And I found myself in this personal training studio and I chose personal training cause I'd suffered with eating disorders and body image issues for most of my life. And I was earning somewhere between four to 5,000 plus pounds a month. And I should have been ecstatic. I was doing something that I loved. I was helping people love themselves. I was earning great money, but I was depressed. I was anxious. I was fearful and I was drinking an awful lot of wine so that I could sleep. And so that I could feel okay, just for the few hours that I was awake. And I was thinking, this doesn't feel like success.
Why is, why does this not feel successful to me? What is this inces conversation in my head about fear and about judgment and about not being enough and why does money feel so bad to me? And I reached out to a group that I was in at the time and I said, I need to give this stuff up. It's killing me. I can't function properly. I don't know who I am. I feel, I feel like I've been taken over by some monster in my head. And, and that's what it felt like day by day. It was this monster in my head, this conversation just constantly telling me that I wasn't good enough. I needed to work harder that I was, that I was frauded. And I, nobody understood that nobody could understand why I wasn't happy. And this dear woman reached out to me and she said, I'm going to help you.
YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS And she started coaching me for free once a week. And the first exercise she had me do was to separate myself from my thoughts. And this is what she told me to do. When you wake up in the morning, Louise, I want you to bust out your journal and just write down what you feel. So it is invariably, I'm feeling anxious. I'm feeling tired. I'm feeling angry. I'm feeling overwhelmed. I'm feeling lost. I'm feeling frustrated. There's lots of feelings of negativity and unresourceful, as we say, and then I had to rewrite that and say, I'm aware that I'm feeling anxious today. I'm aware that I'm feeling angry, I'm aware, I'm aware. And then the final stage was to say, I'm witnessing, I'm witnessing that. I'm feeling this way. And I'd write that out. Now. I wrote that out every day for at least a month, until I was able to have the strengths, to have that conversation in my head.
And at that moment, I was able to do the same thing, but converse in my own head. And I remember so many mornings standing at the kitchen sink, the children had gone to school and the voice it would start. And I would literally turn around and say, F you, I would obviously use the full word, but you know what? I don't wanna hear this anymore. F you leave me alone. And that was all I knew how to do back then, but it started to shift things in me. And I started to be more mindful of who I was being in every moment and what thoughts I was allowing to take over the dashboard of my mind.
I STARTED OVER Now, roll forward. The end of the year, I decided to close that studio down with no concept of what I was gonna do. I still did some personal training, but I didn't wanna be there anymore. And that was my road to transition. The breakthrough had sort of, I'd already started. I'd had the breakdown and the breakthrough was the road to recovery and the road to discovery for me about where I was going 2016 storm, we do a few different coaching certificates and so on. But at the end of 2016, I did my NLP and timeline therapy coaching. And within a couple of months, it was as if the snow globe had been shaken and things started to settle down. And my brain had felt like it had been completely rewired. Now don't get me wrong. There was work that needed to be done with that.
And I continued to work on my mindset every day, but the point is you can absolutely rewire your mind to create different meaning and create different visions for your life. And that's what I do right now as a high performance coach. So please do give the exercise a go. It was the start of a transformation for me. So we go back to the identity, the ultimate success identity. And we've talked about raising awareness. The second R was removal. The third R is re-installation. So just like I said to you, where we can create that negative belief from a, an experience with a negative, emotional impact, we can create amazing new belief systems by creating higher vibrational, emotional experiences and, and, and doing that more often, we can install new belief systems by put, literally installing new pictures into our brain. We can use visual cues, we can put them around our house.
CREATE NEW BELIEFS We can reinstall new beliefs by having powerful affirmations and mantras that we can use anchoring with things like music and power poses. We can anchor new belief systems by changing our circle of influence by minding what goes in by watching amazing YouTube clips by following people's podcasts, Tom Bilyeu , Brene brown, Oprah Winfrey, Brendon Burchard Tony Robbins, Mel Robbins, Elizabeth Gilbert. You know, the ed miler, there are so many Zig Zeigler, Jim Rohn Bob Proctor, there are just an unending number of free resources for us to rewire our mind by being mindful of what we are putting in it. Your mind is this incredible infinite sort of machine software that's making meaning and creating our physical reality by what we put in it. So be mindful
REHEARSAL Of you put in and start to reinstall new beliefs. And then the fourth stage, the fourth R is rehearsal. One of the things that I see being the biggest block is that people come and they join their Lifepreneur academy, or they work with me one to one, or they do one of my courses and they love it. And they do all the removal and they reinstall new beliefs, but they don't change their behavior. And our behavior is what feeds back to our mind about who we are, what our identities, I used to be a smoker. And so it's a very natural and habitual action for me to eat my dinner, put my plate on the floor, pick up my cup of coffee, lighy a cigarette. If I had done the removal about smoking and started to see myself in a new identity as somebody who didn't smoke, but I carried on with the behavior.
I simply would've reinstalled that habitual belief that I'm actually, I'm always gonna be a smoker. And my intention for this series is for you to start seeing yourself in a future identity that feels great, where you are strong and you are fit and you are powerful and you are aligned and you are passionate and you are on a mission and you live on purpose and you're abundant. That's what I believe our lives are all about. And in whichever way, whatever way that looks to you, I can pretty much guarantee that there is a magnificent version of you just waiting for you to open up and accept and allow that identity to come in. So they're the four stages of the mindset that I work through so that you can create your ultimate success identity. Now, I would love to share one other thing. That was a pivotal part of me changing my life back in 2015.
I DECIDED TO NO LONGER BE THAT PERSON And I remember being in the bath and I'd ordered this book off of I think I'd seen it on Facebook and it was like, the book's free, just pay for your, for your postage. I was like, okay, I'm gonna do that. And I remember devouring this book and I got to this particular page, and it was one of those incidents that I've just told you about. It was an experience with a powerful and positive emotional response. And bam, something instantly changed in me. And that was the moment that I decided I was no longer gonna be that person. Now, it was a longer journey for me. Cause I had to find this all out for myself, which is why I'm sharing it with you now. So you can transition far more quickly because I'm gonna impart my knowledge and my experiences with you. So you can dive straight in this book is the motivation manifesto.
It was the book that introduced me to Brendon Burchard and there is no way I've actually written in the front of the book. I've got it here. And I've written in it April, 2015. If you'd have told me then that just under four years later, I would not only be qualified as a high performance coach with Brendon Burchard where I had to travel, fly to Arizona to do it, but that I would've joined his high end mastermind to take my business and life to the next level. I would've last in your face or punched you one or the other. And it's a reality because this book set me off on a trajectory. The same as that this dear heart that coached me, Jamhilaa, and the decision just got stronger and stronger. That success was the only option that if somebody else could create their life, then if one other person could do it, I could do it.
IF SOMEONE ELSE CAN, YOU CAN We've got a magical part of our brain that can see somebody else in achieve. And we get to decide, oh, that's possible for me. Or we believe outdated reptilian behavior and thoughts that say, there's something special about them. They were born on the right side of the street. They've got money. They're more clever than me. No, we are all made equal. It's our actions that make us extraordinary. So let me share this page that change my life. Greatness belongs to those who have mastered their internal world. We are all played by doubt, but the great nevertheless find faith and begin. We all feel like delaying action, but the great March on, we all want to avoid vulnerability or act superior over others from time to time. But the great consistently demonstrate openness, humility and love. These few are not lucky. They are simply more intentional and more practiced at defeating their internal demons.
That is why they have so much vitality, motivation and confidence. Enlightenment comes to those who free themselves from self oppression. Let us choose to make that our aim and once and for all and for root out that which holds us back in life. We deserve to be free from all those stirrings within us that compromise our magnificence for this. Let us declare we shall defeat our demons. What a great thing to finish on. I really hope you've enjoyed this episode. I would love for you to try out the exercise that I gave you earlier. Remember those four R for starting to create your new identities, that you can be the person you need to be to do the things you need to do to have the things that you want to have and to create and live your life of purpose and passion and profit.

Work hard and you will succeed?? I'm calling B.S. on that.
We all know people who bust their butt and don't get the resutls they want. Maybe that's you too?
I happen to think that small business owners are amongst the hardest workers I know.
WE ARE ALWAYS TAKING ACTION. ALWAYS SEEING NEW OPPORTUNITIES, TRYING NEW THINGS, DEALING WITH CHALLENGES.
Yet 80%+ of small business will fail.
So if working hard isn't the answer then what is?
DOING THE SIMPLE THINGS EVERY DAY
Having been in business of some description for over 20 years, and struggling for a majority of time, I've tried ALL the things.
I've spent 10's of thousands of pounds on courses, programs, certifications and coaching.
But my success "didn't happen".
IT WAS TIME TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT
I've taken the time to look back and learn from my "failures" and the science backed research of the worlds most successful people and found FOUR SIMPLE STEPS that WILL help you grow your small business.
Join my free FB group now so you can access the free training that's coming up.
Let's be honest - how much time have you spent working on your belief system? Trying to get rid of limiting beliefs; developing more confidence and courage to do the things you need to in your business?
Desperately trying to have more belief in yourself?
And has it given you what you want?
There's a good chance that it hasn't. And that's why there are so many amazing business owners who are not succeeding at the level they want to.
LET ME TEACH YOU A TOOL
So what if I could teach you a tool, that would help you take action toward your goals and dreams NOW. Without that deep belief?
Well that's what I'm doing in this weeks podcast along with:
Why I choose not to have the thought "I need to believe to succeed?"
Why that thought is holding you back
The life changing tool

Kathryn had spent over 20 years in talking therapy to try and deal with her depression and anxiety and an attempted suicide.
But nothing seemed to change. Until she decided to take her healing journey in to her own hands.
During this very honest podcast, Kathryn tells how about the pivotal point when she knew she had to do something for herself.
And how her professional photography was the thing that transformed her entire life, both personally and professionally.
What we wanted to share with you today, apart from Kathryn's story, was that healing and coaching can take on many different forms. And at the root of all that we search is the need for unwaivering self love and acceptance.

“Create Thoughts in your mind that support the current resources and circumstances you currently have”
There are a million different ways to get what where and what you want, pick the one that means you can start NOW..
In ep. 121 we talked about “What if you were willing to be wrong about the problem”
Today I want to ask you,
“What if there was no problem at all”
You see, what I notice when I’m coaching is that a lot of clients (and yes, I still catch myself doing this) focus on THE HOW.
And when they’re focused on HOW am I going to do this, their next and natural thoughts are to focus on why that’s a problem for them.
And as one of my mentors says, they talk about the problem like they’re reporting the news – like it’s fact. But just like the news only tells us what it wants us to know and see, the problem is just your brains way of keeping you stuck.
In this episode, I'm going to show you exactly what happens when we choose thoughts of this NOT being a problem.
You see, it’s so easy to get caught up with what others are doing, what they say is best and whilst it’s always worth considering (only if they are ahead of you) don’t make it “Your only way”. Don’t allow lack of something or it’s unavailability to you right now, be the reason you don’t take action and succeed anyway.
What happens when you foster the thought – This isn’t a “thing”. There is no problem?

Do you think that every person who chaged their life or achieved their goals NEVER had any excuses? Of course not
Believing that your excuses are getting in your way of progress is only happening because you’ve been taught you need to feel confident, motivated and bursting with willpower to make your goals a reality.
And it’s just not true.
Every morning when I’m walking the dog, I give myself a million excuses about why I shouldn’t work out when I get home. Every day I make a compelling argument about why resting, working, even doing housework – is the better choice.
And every day I do the workout.
And in this episode I'm going to tell you exactly why excuses are normal and should be expected; what the one "magic" answer is to taking action and exactly why you've not been doing it already!

Putting Your Child’s Happiness First is The Worst Thing You Can do as a Parent – for yourself and for them
I know your intention is to give your children the best life experience possible but couldn’t this actually create LIMITATION for them because you’re teaching them to put other people before themselves?
Today I’m going to share with you 4 reasons why I believe this statement is true and why it’s a major player In you not achieving your goals
I understand that this could be controversial but I truly believe, what I’m about to share with you will make you think twice
As you know, I coach parents to achieve their goals and live their life fully, so that they can be powerful role models for their children.
And if you put your goals, hopes and dreams on the back burner - ARE you being a role model or are you teaching them self sacrifice, regret, resentment and an inability to deal with emotional challenge?
That's what were diving in to in this episode.
WHAT TO DO
I know this can seem overwhelming, especially if it’s a new concept and you might not even know where to start.. so good job I’ve thought about it for you. In line with my belief of keeping everything stupidly simple to start, I offer you 3 simple steps to get you going.
Make sure you come follow me on TikTok and Insta so you don't miss out on the communication training i've got coming up for you

When it comes to your goals, are you interested or committed – and how do you know the difference?
Are you approaching your goals from a place of sufficiency and inevitability or lack, resignation and doubt?
That’s what I’m going to coach you on today.
Facts to consider first.
I’M NOT SAYING EITHER IS RIGHT OR WRONG, HOWEVER I AM ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER THE CONCEPT OF INVESTING (TIME, ENERGY, MONEY) WITH AN UNDERLYING THOUGHT ON “I’M WILLING TO LOSE THAT IF IT DOESN’T WORK OUT”.
In this epsiode I have 3 coaching questions to help you dig out the truth of why you might be dizzy goal setter vs a powerful goal achiever.. can you see the difference?
There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you’ll do it only when it’s convenient. When you commit to something, you accept no excuses – only results. Kenneth Blanchard.
IT DOESN’T MEAN THEY DON’T WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT BUT THEY’RE INTERESTED VS COMMITTED AND THEY HAVEN’T INVESTED MENTALLY OR FINANCIALLY AT A LEVEL THAT PROPELS THEM ACHIEVE THE DESIRED OUTCOME.
This doesn’t mean that people who only invest small ££ don’t get results – the difference is they are heavily infested with their thoughts about their goal and the standards they’re going to set themselves to make it happen.
It also isn’t a speech about never enjoying food again (‘m a massive foody)... I simply invite you to be honest about if you recognise this behaviour in yourself.
SECOND WAY THIS SHOWS UP IS… THROWING MONEY AT SOMETHING
You believe that you’re showing full commitment by investing more heavily in something to help you reach your goals.
NO IT DOESN’T
BECAUSE YOUR FINANCIAL INVESTMENT DOESN’T CHANGE THE THOUGHT ERRORS YOU HAVE ABOUT YOUR WORTH, ABILITY, EXPECTATIONS, PERSONAL STANDARDS, FEARS AND THE POTENTIAL PAIN THAT THIS GOAL MIGHT PRESENT YOU WITH
As someone who has coached people as a personal trainer and life coaching, I have seen this both of these thought processes at play.
Listen to the whole episode to get the coaching questions to help you DECIDE on your goals once and for all.

Are you willing to be wrong about the problem? Will you consider taking action “in the wrong”?
What if, being wrong about what the problem is actually makes the solution easier?
So what if that were true for you. What if, you’re expending a lot of energy trying to find a solution to something that isn’t actually a/the problem?
In this podcast epsiode I'm.. 1. Going to give you some examples to illustrate what I mean 2. Show you the benefit of being willing to be wrong 3. Give you a set of questions to help you flesh out what your REAL problem is 4. Finally, generate the mindset of there not being a problem!!
Sound good? Fabulous!!
What I want to offer you today is this: Often times, you are so caught up in the emotions of “the thing” that you’re not willing nor able to dive deeper and discover what the real problem is.
When you choose to entertain the idea that you might be wrong about the problem, you also get to be wrong about how impossible, difficult or unachievable the solution is. You put yourself in the place to generate multiple new solutions and you can literally choose something easier. HOW GOOD IS THAT?
Here’s what you need to know about this…most, if not all, of your decisions will come from conditioned bias NOT experience bias... i'll explain more in this episode.
PROBLEM – where do you feel that word in your body? What feelings coming up for you. What do you think when you hear the word?
BUT WHAT IF …. Things could immediately improve if you swapped the "P" word with situation, circumstance or current experience.

Will your children succeed because they mirrored you or didn’t want to end up like you?
I believe, with my whole heart, that when I coach parents to achieve the goals they set themselves, the most powerful result is the role model they become for their children. In turn, they teach their children to live from a mindset of possibility vs programming. Coaching impacts generations.
I have two super POWERFUL questions to ask you today.. are you willing to go there with me?
These questions are behaviour drivers for me – explain
I left my marriage because I didn’t want them to think that they had to sacrifice their happiness ever.
Closed my first business and got coaching because I didn’t want them to see me drinking wine every night because I was scared and anxious and I needed to choose a different way
I choose to do triathlons to be illustrate that working out isn’t about having a body that “fits in”… it’s a pleasure to have a body that works
My husband and I work religiously on communication, acts of love and care, laughing together because I want them to have a beautiful relationship.
I do new things, scary things, exciting things because I want them to know the fragility of life and the importance of making every moment count.
IT’S WHY I KEEP DOING THE THINGS, EVEN WHEN IT’S HARD AND I’M SCARED
AND WHY I KEEP INVESTING IN MYSELF AND BUSINESS IN TIME AND MONEY
This might just be the most transformational 9 minutes you can invest..

What if there were ONE word, that could create possibility where there was limitation?
Where you goals could feel like freedom rather than restriction?
One word that would make your goals feel easier to achieve - in fact, INEVITABLE?
There is such a word. A simple word that we use all the time without understanding the power of it.
AND
In today's episode I'm showing you exactly why this word is so powerful in helping you to create your goals with more ease, flow and joy and a simple 3 step process to get you going right now.
If you're ready to learn your personal process to hit your goals, in a shorter time and with a cheerleader in your corner, book yourself a free consultation with me
Every time you break a promise to yourself, you activate shame which strengthens the beliefs you have about your (lack of) worth, abilities and expectations. And as shame is the shadow of the Solar Plexus Chakra which is a power centre, you literally confirm the stories that keep you trapped where you don't want to be.
In today's episode we're talking about the powerful connection between the energy centre, your willingness to take action and your likelihood of succeeding. And, as always, some action steps for you to move forward.
WHAT IS SHAME AND WHY DO WE HAVE IT?
HOW IS IT SHOWING UP FOR YOU? - BELOW ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES
AS WELL AS…
WHY AM I SHARING THIS Because one of the most common things I hear when coaching ambitious action takers is they get frustrated with progress that doesn't match the action they put in.
They always seem to be taking action, but recognise they fall in to thesame patterns over and over.
THEY LITERALLY KNOW THAT THEY’RE IN THEIR OWN WAY BUT THEY CAN’T SEEM TO STOP IT – Dizzy Action Takers
WHAT TO DO
Having experienced decades of eating disorders and body shame; severe depression, bankrupcy, divorce, getting dumped in the most humiliating way, failing at business – I’m gratefully experienced with the Shame Centre. And I learned ONE thing which I'll share in this episode.
And so to heal the wound of shame, we must CHOOSE to step away from judgement and in to innate worthiness. To accept ALL parts of ourselves (doesn’t mean to say we don’t need to work on them but we can do so from a place of acceptance vs judgement and rejection) Today I have one simple step - and it's teeny tiny

When people consistently struggle to achieve their goals, they often recite “I don’t believe in myself”. In this episode I want to tell you why the REAL reason is they don’t have the belief OF themselves and until that changes, nothing else changes.
Catch up with episode 1 and episode 2 of this series.
In short reason #1 – it’s not your goal #2 you don’t want it bad enough and today we’re diving in to #3 – the mother of this trilogy which is this
YOU DON’T HAVE THE BELIEF OF YOURSELF
HOW DOES THIS SHOW UP IN YOUR LIFE?
. You get caught up in FEAR – of why you might lose, how much pain you’re going to experience, what if it doesn’t work – judged, ridiculed, shamed, a failure etc
. You tell yourself you haven’t found the right strategy yet. Or the right coach, programme, routine, exercise routine, diet… so you just keep trying different stuff
. You spend a lot of time energy and maybe even money trying to achieve the goal and yet there is no substantial change to reflect the level of your investment
. feast and famine results - always finding yourself back at the same place
Would you like to know HOW to start creating that belief OF yourself? It could just change your life 😉

You know you WANT to lose the weight, get fitter and stronger, feel sexier and more energetic

How come, some people have no problem taking action whilst others fight to get clarity on what they should be doing?
Why do some of us have major blocks to hitting our goals whilst others seem to sail through?
And what about you? What do you think is stopping you from hitting your goals?
❓Don’t have time for the gym so you can’t lose weight?
❓Don’t have the money for a program or coach so can’t build your business?

If you’re anything like me when I learned this, you’ll call me a liar.
And I know it’s uncomfortable to think that the problem might actually be a little bit closer to home

What if.....
you had a reel of pictures in your mind, that told you exactly what you could expect from you life?
And... what if, those pictures actually created a ceiling on what's possible for you.
There is and they do. They're called Internal Representations and there's a good chance they are responsible for creating the areas in your life where you feel unfulfilled, frustrated and powerless.
So.. what if....
You could change those IR's so that you naturally expected more from your life and from yourself so that you could create a life you REALLY wanted. Great relationships; financial freedom; fulfilling career and vibrant health... just to start with.

If you've ever invested time and money in something (book, course, programme) or someone (PT, coach, strategist) there's a good chance you've not seen the results you invested in. Certainly over the long term.
So if STRATEGY is the answer to getting you from where you are, to where you want to be, and you've bought the stuff, and worked with the people, WHY ARE YOU NOT THERE YET?
Because for a strategy to work, you need the right equipment. And if the equipment doesn't work, or isn't up to standard, the strategy fails.

IF I DIDN'T INVITE YOUR OPINION, IT'S A JUDGEMENT...
I DISAPPROVE OF WHAT YOU SAY, BUT I WILL DEFEND TO THE DEATH, YOUR RIGHT TO SAY IT..
Welcome to the latest episode of the Your Rich Life Podcast, which I'm also calling #bagelgate this week (listen to find out what the heck i'm talking about!).
.
After having a potentially damaging response to a post I put in a fitness group last week... I was fired up to talk about how EFFECTIVE COMMUNCATION can completely change your life. From business, to relationships to influence and so much more - the root of it all is HOW WE COMMUNICATE.
And social media shows us clearly, over and again, that most people have no understanding of what communciation really is and how powerful it is.
Your communication can be catastrophic or creative
.
It can elevate or destroy.
.
It can rekindle relationships or end them.
.
It can open doors or burn bridges.
.
It can perpetuate self hatred or encourage self love
.
Communication can change yours and THE world….
Grab you cuppa, and lets get together for the next 25 minutes.

How many times have you ignored your gut because it was easier?
How many times do you know you're making the wrong decision but the alternative feels too hard?
Or perhaps you'd prefer for somoene else to make the decision and act on it so you don't have to (no judgement here!)
Truth is, in order for us to make those hard decisions so that we can express ourselves MORE fully and expand in to the MORENESS of who we are, we need to let go of a LOT!.
Let go of beliefs, behaviours, people, jobs, locations, expectations, emotions.. you name it - we could all do with a spring clean.
In this episode I'm talking about 3 reasons why THE HARD DECISIONS ARE HARD TO MAKE, 2 Simple exercises you can use on a daily basis and THE HARD DECISION I'VE RECENTLY MADE that prompted this episode.

When you've beent trying to achieve something for what feels like an age, and no matter what you do or how hard you work, you just can't get there - you are desperate for a BREAKTHROUGH, right?
What do you do? Like most people you probably try and do MORE. But "WHAT IF" there was a different answer. Once that's easier and harder all at the same time? One that lets YOU write the rules as you go along?
You see, the thing is, in order "Unremember all the things that are keeping you stuck, you must commit to doing the new and the different"..
Ready to find out more?? Then take a listen.
Sign up to Grace for Space and join me free, weekly in zoom to connect and converse over topics just like this..
There's a misconception that what you should be aiming for is ease and lack of difficulty. Not just in changes you seek to make, but in the journey of life in general.
And when you experience challenge, it's too easy to make this mean that "you're just not good enough" which keeps you swinging between self judgement and self sabotage.
So in today's riff, I discuss 3 things that make hardship simply part of life...
We're emotional beings taught to avoid the hard emotions
We're wearing "Conditioning Goggles"
We've taught to applaud arrival vs value the teachings of the journey.
Come take a listen and REMEMBER, sign up to join my free, weekly zoom calls where we co-create Grace for Space to dive in to topics just like these... here's the link.
We are taught that breaking rules is bad.
We are conditioned to desire acceptance and therefore do anything to fit in.
But if living in and by the rules isn't making you happy and fulfilled... are you willing to be the exception. And how do you do that?
That's what I'm discussing in this episode of the Your Rich Life Podcast.
REMEMBER - come join me live in my the weekly Grace for Space, free zoom calls. Each week we take 20/30 minutes to create space to discover what it looks and feels like to be more US and have more of what we want. Get on the list now so you can the zoom links right to your inbox each week.
As a self confessed "recovering" control freak, I know how hard it is to let go.
In this episode, I invite a conversation about
WHY we feel the need to control
WHY it's actually stopping us from gettig what we want
WHAT we can do instead
Remember, join me live on zoom each week in Grace for Space! Get yourself on the list here.

Where in your life do you feel exhausted and frustrated from trying to figure things out, forcing yourself through, taking action?
We have been taught to seek answers, look for logical and linear answers - and what we actually create is a solid, heavy conclusion. And how's that been working out for you?
Inviting and Allowing SPACE is the total opposite. It's fluid, pulsating, peaceful, expansive and creative.
THE REASON WE DON'T START HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT BEEN TAUGHT TO.
So the question is, are you willing to STOP and Give Yourself the Grace for Space?
Intrigued and want to know where to start? Let me help you. Here's how
#1 - Download the PDF with "16 Life Transforming Questions" that relate to last weeks podcast.
#2 - Join me, free and live, every week on zoom we together, as a collective, we create space for ourselves and each other. Our first "meet" is 23rd March at 7pm GMT. Get on the list now, here.
When we're unhappy, or want to experience something different, or more in our life, what do we do? We try to find what we must DO to make this happen.
Brainwashed to search for reason, justification and instruction. We seek conclusion. (and it's not our fault.. it's how we've been programmed).
However, this creates solidification in our life. And this severely limits us from living fully and creating the feelings and experiences we TRULY desire in our life.
SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE LIVE, MOMENT BY MOMENT, IN THE QUESTION?
I know this might sound a little cray cray (and I felt exactly the same at the start), but after having the most incredible experience with Daniel Tuttle - The Provactive Intuitive - at his Access Consciousness Class this weekend - I have experienced a HUGE shift and I wanted to offer you the opportunity to feel it to.
What better way to celebrate the 100th epsiode of the Your Rich Life Podcast, that providing you with some tools that could literally CHANGE YOUR LIFE - (with a lot more ease than you've been gifting yourself up to now!).

WARNING: Some mild cussing going down in this episode
Why are most people not as happy as they want to be?
In the developed world, often times it's comparison that keeps people unhappy. Feeling that they aren't successful enough, slim enough, rich enough.. don't drive the right car, have the right postcode or wear the right clothes.
AND their default is to try and DO something about it. Get more, learn more, achieve more. BUT.. what if their emotional freedom and happiness was as simple as CHANGING CONTEXT..
That's what we're talking about today in Episode #99 of The Your Rich Life Podcast. REMEMBER, to get best use of the exercisese within this epsiode, be sure to listen to Epsiode #74

When you want to change something in your life (body, boyfriend, bank balance etc), it's easy to go to,
"What do I need to DO to change this?"
But if DO-ing were the answer to transformation, why do 95+ of people FAIL to achieve what they set out to do?
Because DO-ing is the last place to start. The start should be
"How do I need to change my THINKING?", becuase the truth is, you cannot create a long term change if you cannot think and act outside of your current limiting stories and life experience.
In this episode i'm telling you exactly WHY thinking is the #1 key to transformation and HOW you can get started right now.

"Don't try to reinvent the wheel"

All statements that I'm sure you're familiar with, and that teach us to follow a strategy to get what we want to attain and achieve.
BUT.... WHAT IF.. there is more to that story. I happen to think there is and that's what I'm talking about in this podcast episode.
I'm going to discuss with you...
The THREE reasons why I think focusing on strategy actually HINDERS your achievement

Remember as a child, when you thought the Moon & Stars just "came out at night"? You didn't question where they went when you couldn't see them.
Well it's a little like your dreams.
Just like the Moon & Stars need the night to be seen, You dreams need the BELIEF in yourself to make them a reality.
So I hope you'll indulge me and join me in the curious conversation about Making Your Dreams Come True
It takes a lot more courage to break the mould than to fit it.
Since my dad passed away at the end of November, I've been thinking a lot about my life. What hit me the most is that I've spent a lot of time trying to prove myself - and disguising it as striving.
And I know I'm not alone. There's a lot of you who are stuck, chasing goals, with an unsaid motivation of proving your worth, gaining acceptance or validation and such like.
So I wanted to share with you, the difference between Proving and Challenging yourself and how you can make that switch - and chose to live your authentic life.
The 3 Choice Challenge was designed to help you change your life:
With more clarity and less overwhelm.
Feel empowered in your journey, every day
Increase your willingness to play the long game
It's going to help you:
Drop the radical pursuit of "more" and make space for clarity
Stop conforming and increase courage
Swap instant gratification for long term consistency
So are you ready to take "The Daily 3 Choice Challenge"?
I thought I was alone in feeling like "something was missing" from my life.
It was some"thing"! I knew I couldn't buy it. I knew it wasn't money or an achievement or a person.
But I knew that there was something missing.
This "thing" turned out to be Magic & Enchantment. I'd allowed myself to get swallowed up in the mundane, to suffocate in the constant bad news and hysteria.
And then, Serendipity held out her hand and presented me with Rebecca, The Modern Day Witch. And I found myself back on a path that I once found, but let myself turn off.
And I'm starting to embrace this not JUST to bring enchantment and magic to the every day, but to manage the really hard stuff that life presents us with.
PLEASE - follow Rebecca on Facebook
And instagram - be sure to head to her IGTV channel at do the 7 Days of Magic. It's truly a beautiful opportunity to reconnect, to take time and to remember your power.
What does Personal Freedom mean to YOU?
I've asked this question hundred of times over the years to my coaching clients, and invariable two answers come up immediately.
They talk about wanting more of what they THINK they lack
They talk about wanting less of the things they tolerate
But invariably, these turn out to be superficial answers which come from being acutely aware that they feel somewhat trapped by their current life experiences and they just want to escape THAT feeling.
Most of the time, they don't even know what lights them up anymore. Somehow, they've lost themselves along the journey of life.
In this 90th episode of the Your Rich Life Podcast I'd love to share with you some more things I've learned from having conversations around this question, and how my definition of Personal Freedom is evolving because of witnessing my dads' journey with terminal cancer.
I hope that you can take some coaching, some hope and some inspiration.

The scales have the ability to take you from happy to full on self loathing in a nano second.
And they absolutely NOT the best way to measure your progress when it comes to fat loss. And yes, you should be focused on fat loss vs weight loss (more in the episode).
In a world that celebrates numbers as a way to measure success and self worth, it's time to give it the bird. And that's why this episode is about helping you divorce yourself from the emotional abusive relationship with the scales and learn how to work out to drop fat and change your body shape.

This past 18 months has seen anxiety disorders sky rocket.
I remember when I first experienced anxiety, I was convinced it was CoVid. I had such a tight chest, it was sore. I struggled to walk the dog and even walking up the stairs would make me out of breath.
Now I know that it was actually anxiety and as I deal with my dad's deterioration with cancer, anxiety is something I experience on a daily basis. BUT IT NO LONGER CONTROLS ME.
In this episode, I want to share 5 tips to manage and reduce your anxiety - and from a Mind, Body, Soul perspective. I know that there will be one tiny step in here that you can use in your day to day life to help you.
In the episode I share a breathing technique - I've recorded a more comprehensive video here.. it's still less than 5 minutes so be sure to give it a watch. Find it at www.yourrichlife.co.uk...scroll down a little way
If you actually want to get the results you keep trying (and failing to get), STOP focusing on what you need to do!
You want to change your life. To achieve something. To experience something. And you know what to do. You knew what to do last time you decided to go after the thing. And yet, you're still not there.
You see, the secret to your success is less in the doing and more in your identity.. certainly whilst you build new habits and behaviours. So in this episode, building on last weeks Self Sabotage episode, I've got 4 C's for you that WILL help you create the change you're looking for.
And yes, whilst they require action, is the energetic STATE that precedes it that is most important.
Taking 10 minutes to listen to this episode may just be life changing for you - and I hope it is.

Self sabotage is sneaky and subconscious.
You're probably doing it ways you don't even recognise! And we've all done it.
Passionately committed to a goal, only to fall off the wagon and find ourselves back at the start. Over and over again.
But WHY?? If we want these things so bad, why do we act in a way as if we don't?
That's what we're talking about in this episode of the Your Rich Life Podcast.

Most people will try to Think, Do and Distract their way out of and through difficult times - personally and professionally.
Because we've been taught that our brain is our best ally.
We've been conditioned that hard work will pay dividends.
And we all know that distraction is far easier than feeling the emotions that come with hard times.
But at the end of the day, your frantic attempts to fix or escape a current situation strengthen the web that keeps you stuck there.
In this episode I'm talking to you about why LETTING GO is the answer you are looking for, and how you can start doing that NOW.

What do you do when you're stuck in your own head?
Chasing those destructive thoughts around your mind, feeling awful and judging yourself for "not doing better".

REMOVE YOUR MONEY BLOCKS WITH FREE TRAINING - DIRECT TO YOUR INBOX.. REGISTER BEFORE 16TH
In this episode...
Money Blocks are not about Money. They're about YOU.
Pricing and Sales issues are simply a symptom of a deeper problem.
There are an infinite number of ways that a crappy Money mindset is sabotaging your financial success and in this episode I'm telling you about 10 of them.
AND THEN I"M GOING TO HELP YOU REMOVE THEM..
Most people try and deal with this mindset blocks the wrong way.
They either just keep taking action - ending up exhausted and frustrated because they get the same results, no matter what they do
Or they do the "healing" which is great but without proven success behaviours, NOTHING changes
Or they give their power away to subconscious reprogramming, thinking they'll wake up tomorrow a complete different and hugely successful entrepreneur. WRONG. You gotta do the healing and the action
So I'm combining all 3 and dropping a life changing FREE TRAINING directly in to your inbox, to keep for life. If you want it, just pop your name on the mailing list and wait for it to drop on Monday 16th August 2021!!!! Sign up here.
Most Wired & Tired Soulpreneurs are spending time, money and effort in the pursuit of the "magic" strategy that's going to propel their business in to the next stratosphere.
But strategy doesn't work. The implementer of the strategy works. And so the outcome of the strategy is directly proportional to the mindset and behaviours of the person doing it.
So if you're a budding entrepreneur who is weighed down by her own limiting beliefs, self sabotaging stories and low expectations.. you can throw all the money you like at strategy .. and you'll always find yourself back where you started! (or maybe never leave there at all!).
So what IS THE ANSWER?? Take a listen and find out..

Your unwillingness to make and then act on, a decision is the root of your anxiety!
Remember in last week's episode, I introduced you to my client who said, "she didn't know who she was anymore". And that during her hotseat we revealed why that WASN'T the problem, and what actually was. If you've not listened to that episode yet, do that here!
At the end of the episode, I taught you some simple self-healing exercise to help navigate through something like that.
In this episode, I dive a little deeper in to what REALLY is causing the anxiety that we talked about in Ep. #75 and the FIVE things you need to do to move past that!

Grief isn't just about losing someone you love!
As women we have many roles, many of which are generational and societal "hand me downs".
Each role comes with a set of beliefs, behaviours and expectations. When these roles shift or disappear, how we relate to ourselves and the world changes.
How much grief have you really acknowledged and processed - or have you "done the right thing" and kept a stiff upper lip and carried on?
IT HAS TO STOP....
"NOONE HAS THE RIGHT TO TELL YOU WHAT TO GRIEVE FOR OR HOW TO GRIEVE FOR IT!"
In this episode I get curious about how many soulpreneurs find themselves struggling to create the business and life of their dreams because of unrecognised and/or unprocessed grief.

Are we in a world where the exponential growth of the industry that claims to help us, is actually part of the problem? Is it creating more emotional burnout and disconnection from our happiness and our innate values?
Is self help and personal growth really helping, or is it causing a bigger problem?

The common belief is that if you have all of your strategies and systems set up in your business, you WILL succeed.
I'm calling B.S. on that.
I know plenty of business women who have bought TONNES of courses, downloaded all the freebies and are NOT successful.
Truth is, you have an unconscious collection of words and pictures that have created a "set point" or ceiling - around what you can expect from your life and from yourself.
If you don't work on this 👆🏻, no strategy will work!

Are we all silently addicted to behaviours that stop us from having to sit with and experience our real feelings?
After a month off of all social media and a consequent repulsion for all things "input" - I realised my social and information exhaustion was the result of my refusal to sit still and silently.
As business owners and entrepreneurs, we're hypnotised by the DO-ing mentally that is broadcast 24/7 and often find ourselves discounted from now, in pursuit of promised utopia in some future time.
But is that how YOU want to live? I didn't.. and I share with you what I learned through this month of total discomfort and pain that is all part of the Inner Work..
Please come find me on Facebook and I'd love your support on my YouTube Channel.
Trying to perfect your process before putting "something out there", is the worst thing you can do for your business.
Imagine if a baby refused to walk unless it could do so without falling. It would NEVER walk.
As your business is a living, breathing extension and expression of YOU - and you are (I hope) constantly evolving, isn't it fair to say that you should give your business permission to do the same.
So why are you spending so much time trying to get this thing right, "for all time"...
Have you grabbed your FREE training yet (no email required)?.. Successful people THINK in a certain way and I want to show you how... so I'm sharing a training I did with my clients. Watch it now.
People watch your videos more for your energy than for your content!
So I want to you spend more time thinking about how you are "showing up" than the information you are providing.
Have you ever turned off an audio or video because the person was soooo boring? Or too loud? Or talked too fast?
Have you ever been put off because someone's energy was just "off".
THAT is what I'm talking about!
In this episode I've got FOUR things for you to focus on to create better energy videos that will increase your engagement.
Talking about videos, have you subscribed to my YouTube Channel yet? I'd love your support. Thank you

It's easier to decrease resistance than it is to increase alignment.
Yep, LoA techniques teach us to focus on what we want, but it actually INCREASES resistance by activating limiting beliefs about your ability to have/achieve it.
So doesn't it make more sense to learn how to "let go" instead?
That's what I'm going to talk to you about in this episode of the Your Rich Life Podcast.
Grab your INSTANT FREE TRAINING... to help you elevate yourself from Struggling Soulpreneur to Success Superstar with 10 proven success strategies.
If you're struggling with your business messaging, it's much more likely to be because of the beliefs you have about YOURSELF than the wrong "strategy".
Truth is, you're probably over thinking your messaging because of fears and limiting beliefs about who you are, what you are capable of and what you think is really possible for you in life.
Your perfect messaging is being hidden with layers of b.s. beliefs and to really nail your messaging, you need to find out WHO you REALLY are and lean in to that. I'll show you how in this episode.
Want to know how you can THINK differently so you can end the Struggle of Soulpreneurship and step in to your identity as a Success Superstar?
Grab this FREE training (no email required).. and discover 10 questions that will totally change the way you think about yourself, your success and your journey.
Trying to THINK your way to a new level of success, is like walking the same path over and over, and expecting to end up somewhere different.
Isn't there an area in your life where you've wanted to see a big change but you haven't achieved it?
And isn't there any area in your life where there HAS been a big chance - by choice or by crisis?
And do you notice what REALLY created that difference?
It's all to do with acting in side of your PROGRAM. Let's dive in and find out exactly what you should be doing instead!
👇🏻💥FREE TRAINING - NO EMAIL REQUIRED👇🏻💥
Because I know that what keeps most people stuck is how they THINK (i.e. filter information through subconscious "buckets").. I wanted to create something that would help you ask BETTER questions to create options OUTSIDE of your program. You can watch a training I did for my group HERE.. no email required! You'll need to take notes for this one!!
Manifestation advice has taught us to focus on what we want to get it. But that's simply not true.
In truth, you get what you EXPECT - which means if you're subconscious program is wired for limitation - no amount of vision boarding or "as if" practice isn't going to work!
What you NEED to do is learn how to align your VIBRATION with what you want and then it becomes a GUARANTEED manifestation.
In this episode I'm going to show you how!

If online business courses were THE answer to success, we wouldn't have a trillion dollar industry. Why? Because if they all worked, people wouldn't keep buying.
Truth is, so many small business owners buy courses because they believe they are "missing" this one thing that will make the difference between "getting by" and "financial success". And they are.
