I’ve been waiting a while to tell you this… I was out for a week filming a reality TV Show! Of course, it was about business and making money doing what you love. And I want to share with you everything that I’ve learned from this experience.
I was selected as one of the judges and I was able to coach wonderful entrepreneurs… So if you’re also a mompreneur, a solopreneur, or a mindset junkie… I’m sure you’ll learn a lot from what I’m about to share with you in a moment.
What we’ll go through in highlight:
- Why mastermind groups are sooo frickin’ valuable
- Why strategy alone is PROBLEMATIC
- How your subconscious mind controls about 95% of your business decisions
- How you’ll balance the thinking and the doing to achieve results
- Identifying if you have “father wounds” pushing you to make rash decisions
- The value of HONESTLY talking about money
- Why masterminds are so frickin’ valuable.
I’m sure you’re familiar with the saying, “If you want to go fast, go alone… if you want to go far, go together.” There is zero doubt that having a community of like-minded individuals is still one of the best things to have as a solopreneur.
You might be smashing through your goals all by yourself… But knowing that you have awesome individuals who’ll toast their celebratory glasses when you win is the BIGGEST push you’ll ever experience as a solopreneur.
And I’m surprised to see how most of the contestants on this TV show haven’t ever joined a mastermind. To me, being part of a mastermind is second nature. I was shocked to know there are still entrepreneurs who haven’t even thought of it.
- Strategy alone is PROBLEMATIC.
Every single business decision you make will come from the brain. And 95% of your brain is controlled by the subconscious mind. If you ignore how these decisions are made, you’re bound to make tons of mistakes along the way.
NEVER ignore energetics. I always tell this to my clients (and also to these contestants). Ignoring how you feel about the decisions you’re making will set you up for situations you may not be ready to handle.
Building the perfect strategy will only do so much for you. It’s important to identify how you’re feeling about the strategy from the beginning…
AND during execution. Trust me, the small shifts you’ll make from constantly feeling how things are going will make the difference between winning and losing.
- Lack of strategy (and lack of action-taking) is ALSO problematic
Now, don’t be mistaken… This is NOT a section where I talk about how action-taking is QUEEN. I’d love to tell you about why we entrepreneurs need to balance the feminine (thinking) and masculine (doing) energy in business.
Feeling you’re onto something big is beautiful… but you also need to understand your basic business numbers (conversion rate, revenue goal, new leads you need to achieve goals, etc.)
This is important because you get to keep track of how you’re doing. Rather than being in a swirl of I don’t know, I don’t know… The brain will know that there is a path forward and there will be a belief behind that it’s going to happen.
- Your “Father Wounds”
If you ever felt the need to impress people (no matter what it cost), then you’re most likely being controlled by your inner child who is still healing from your father wounds. It’s this subconscious need to be the “favorite” and to always win.
And THAT is not good. When we invest from that place… we very rarely get the outcome we want.
I’ve seen this in most of the women entrepreneurs I got to observe during the filming. They were willing to do anything they could to impress the judges and the host.
When this happens… What you want to happen here is for you to REPARENT this inner child. Tell it things like “You’re already good enough for me! I choose you! Again and again!”
- The value of HONESTLY talking about money
The BIGGEST mistake I observed from how this show screened its contestants was the lack of conversations about their business numbers. Specifically, how much they’re making in their business.
The show is about business and I think it should be a requirement (for the judges and the audience) to know where these entrepreneurs stand when it comes to income.
Not only will we find it easier to steer them towards the right direction… People who are watching will also find it easier to see which contestant is at the same financial stage as them. And this will make it easier for them to filter out which advice they’ll follow from the coaches.
At the end of the day, they’re just stats – it doesn’t mean anything about who you are as a business owner (and as a person).
This is one of the many things I help clients develop inside Money Wound Medicine – breaking the SHAME and STIGMA in honestly talking about their money. We need to be willing to talk about money – that is how we can begin our journey to healing our relationship with it.
