  • 345 - Lead, Don’t Manage with Mark Williams
    Apr 23 2024

    Whether you are a sales professional, a solopreneur or an established leader leading a team, one of the areas we all consistently need to grow in is leadership. We are all leading - first ourselves, then others whether that’s in the sales process or to join us in our companies. This is an area I’m always wanting to grow in myself, and I’m super excited to bring you a true expert on this topic to the show today.

    Mark Williams is the President and CEO of Brokers International, one of the industry’s largest field marketing organizations — providing annuity and life insurance solutions to independent insurance and financial professionals across the nation.

    Mark has a proven track record driving transformation, having helped transform companies such as Allianz, The Hartford, and GamePlan from the inside out.

    Currently, Mark is focused on the future of the insurance industry: from the disruptions of InsurTech and robo-advisors to the changing demographics and needs of customers. He also is an avid mentor helping financial professionals navigate the industry.

    Mark is the author of Lead, Don’t Manage: 12 Lessons in Creating a Leadership Culture Based on Core Values, which we dive into more in this conversation.

    Show Notes:

    [2:59] - Whether you are in finance or not, the principles that Mark shares can apply to anyone.

    [4:41] - In a society that glorifies hustle and burnt out, Mark explains what inspired him to change his mindset.

    [6:20] - Give it all you’ve got, but you don’t have to work for every minute of the day.

    [8:19] - Working hard does not mean you are working smart.

    [10:09] - Prioritize what you are doing when you are doing it and make sure the tasks you are working on are important.

    [12:06] - At the end of the day, results matter. But challenge your boss to do it your way and see what your results are.

    [15:24] - Mark believes that clients and employees are different today than they have been in the past. They’re more open to authenticity.

    [17:10] - Branding is important, but it’s not your logo. It is what people say about you when you’re not in the room.

    [21:50] - LinkedIn seems like an audience that only wants business professionals. But people are interested in real people.

    [23:18] - What is the difference between traditional leadership and transformational leadership?

    [27:02] - As a leader, understanding the things that employees are going through is crucial.

    [28:23] - Lots of good salespeople are not good managers. Be brutally honest with yourself.

    [33:40] - There’s a balance that needs to be found in leadership. One of the toughest things to do in leadership is being a “bad guy.”

    [36:02] - The conversations you are most fearful of might be some of the best conversations you’ll ever have.

    Show Notes:

    [3:56] - Listen to some takeaways from Wealthy and Worthy Part 1.

    [12:37] - The ability to be fully yourself in your sales and business process and feel like you can be successful as who you are is another place where worthiness shows up.

    [15:25] - Are you really attached to whether a client buys from you or not?

    [16:52] - Once your brain has accepted an idea, the whole function of the subconscious mind is to make the idea a reality.

    [24:28] - If we focus on the process, the result will take care of itself.

    [26:30] - If we want to have a new reality, we have to become it.

    [32:37] - How do we know there’s an opportunity for this work on worthiness?

    [34:48] - Money blocks are not actually about money!

    [37:07] - Ask yourself how you feel money relates to you.

    [39:12] - There’s so much conditioning in society that comes in early when it comes to scarcity.

    [40:53] - Money is a tool. It will relate to you the way you relate to it.

    [46:09] - The energy with which we do something, determines the outcome.

    [50:47] - A major money block is not showing up as the person who receives it.

    [56:17] - Clarify the vision.

    [64:13] - Getting out of the “same old, same old,” is required if we want to quickly shift something.

    Show Notes:

    [4:04] - One of the things that held me back for years was not feeling worthy of the level of income I desired.

    [11:46] - Challenges or bumps on the road are always tied to the things we want. Are you willing to show up and do what it takes?

    [14:21] - When you elevate, it is extended to the people in your life, too.

    [20:25] - This just doesn’t just apply to your business results. How we do one thing is how we do everything.

    [26:03] - On the outside, we may appear like we have it all together.

    [28:26] - No matter what I did, I could never increase my income, because I didn’t feel worthy of it.

    [34:11] - A quantum leap will happen when it feels natural to you. What is your set point?

    [37:38] - Any strategy can work, but it's about your belief and the strategy’s alignment.

    [40:30] - Why do most people never achieve their goals?

    [42:24] - The world will only value you based on your own value of yourself.

    [45:22] - If you don’t do the inner work to feel valid, worthy, and abundant before the money comes in, you won’t be able to hold it.

    [49:04] - Listen to the symptoms of a worthiness wound.

    [51:26] - We should be setting goals that force us to expand.

    [53:23] - There are three core worthiness blocks.

    [55:14] - Check and see where you are having difficulty or holding back from receiving.

    [60:01] - We choose to do nothing when we think we aren’t worthy of something.

    [63:00] - How does scarcity mindset play into self-worth?

    [67:49] - What is your relationship with your breath?

    [77:11] - Many people will not invest in themselves until they’ve reached a certain point financially.

    [80:06] - It happens when it’s a must.

    [84:51] - What you want is right there. You have to go get it.

    [86:59] - Take a journaling moment to reflect on where you are holding back.

  • 341 - Stop Feeling Guilty for Wanting More
    Mar 21 2024

    I'm absolutely buzzing with excitement to reconnect with you all in this solo episode—it feels like ages since we've had a heart-to-heart. Today, I've got something truly special in store for you as I peel back the layers and offer you an exclusive peek behind the scenes of my recent mastermind retreat down in beautiful Florida.

    During this soul-nourishing event, I experienced some profound shifts in consciousness that I simply can't wait to share with you. From the transformative power of flexibility and surrender to the delicate dance between intention and letting go, there were ah-ha moments aplenty. But perhaps the most liberating takeaway of all was the revelation that it's okay—scratch that, it's essential—to stop feeling guilty for wanting more out of life. It's time to own our desires, embrace our dreams, and step boldly into the life we've always envisioned for ourselves.

    Show Notes:

    [2:34] - The first takeaway for me as the facilitator of the event is the power of flexibility and surrender to a greater good.

    [4:15] - The event location was stunning, so check it out on social media.

    [5:55] - There’s a delicate balance that we take when we’re creating next level goals between intention and surrender.

    [8:07] - How can I be of service no matter how many people are present?

    [9:17] - Because of the changes, I scrapped some of the plans and really went into what attendees needed.

    [10:57] - I used to look at the success of other people and make assumptions.

    [14:18] - What is convenient will keep you complacent.

    [16:13] - To level up, you need to elevate your level of consciousness.

    [18:20] - Listen to an experience of a mastermind community member who is seeking another level of abundance.

    [19:52] - A lot of times, the old worn-out thinking is creating feelings of guilt and shame.

    [22:21] - What is your paradigm and social conditioning telling you? Is it holding you back from abundance?

    [24:07] - You have to start by creating soul freedom.

    [25:07] - Listen to an excerpt from a reading that drives this point home.

    [27:01] - All our lives, we are made to feel guilty over the things we desire.

    [29:15] - After listening to that excerpt, did you feel any tension or triggers?

    [31:02] - What is the consciousness of someone who is comfortable in their abundance?

    [33:41] - I am one with my highest self and know I want to be the best Elyse Archer I can be.

    [35:12] - It is up to us to create heaven on Earth everyday.

    [36:50] - Get yourself in an environment surrounded by the level you want to be in.

    [39:10] - You can learn this information, but you have to get uncomfortable and take the opportunity to change the areas of your life that are holding you back.

    [41:16] - If this resonated with you and you are ready to cultivate this, you are ready to be a part of Mind Over Matter Live.

  • 340 - Cultivate Undeniable Confidence with Erin and Sarit Attwood
    Mar 17 2024

    The topic of the conversation today is such an incredible topic. It’s a really hot topic in our community right now and something I don’t think I’ve ever met a woman who said she didn’t want to grow and improve in: cultivating confidence.

    Today’s guests are absolute experts in this area and they certainly walk the walk.

    Erin and Sarit Attwood are the co-founders of Emunah Strength - a health, wellness, self discipline movement for high-performers. Sarit and Erin, have helped thousands of women worldwide become the most confident version of themselves by creating mental and physical strength. Erin and Sarit help driven women discover the gaps that are holding them back from reaching their highest potential in all areas of their life, by mastering their health, fitness, discipline and mental fortitude so they never have to be on a diet.

    These two body transformation experts have over 25 years of combined experience in the health and fitness space, have been featured on Muscle & Fitness Hers magazine, The Discovery Channel, and more.

    Show Notes:

    [3:34] - No one wakes up in the morning hoping that they will be scared and concerned.

    [4:21] - If you feel like you are not living up to your potential, the way you show up makes it hard to go after the things you want.

    [5:47] - Confidence makes reaching your goals possible.

    [7:22] - The gateway to confidence is self discipline. But confidence is perishable.

    [9:52] - There’s a notable and important difference between confidence and ignorance but they might look similar from the outside.

    [11:16] - Confidence is born out of following through with the things you tell yourself you will do.

    [15:23] - Just because you want to implement something everyday does not make it an ultimatum.

    [17:09] - If you have to start again, you haven’t lost what you’ve already done, learned, and earned.

    [19:50] - You have to be enrolled in yourself.

    [22:31] - It is inevitable to fear judgment especially when we put ourselves out there for the first time or after a negative experience.

    [23:37] - If you are truly being authentic, there will be some people who will not like it.

    [24:52] - People are a mirror. We need to be aware of ourselves because we see other people out of context.

    [27:37] - We don’t know what we don’t know.

    [28:36] - Reputation is what people say and think about you. Character is what you build.

    [31:26] - Eric and Sarit share how to connect with them and learn more about cultivating confidence.

    Mar 5 2024

    If you are anything like me, you are constantly looking for ways to optimize your life and productivity both at work and at home. It’s the constant quest for balance and today’s guest is an absolute expert in productivity and organization.

    Mridu Parikh is the founder of Life is Organized, a bestselling author of Accomplish It, and the host of the Productivity on Purpose podcast. She also has two teen kiddos and understands mom life mixed with entrepreneur life.

    Overwhelmed women business owners work with Mridu to prioritize and systemize so they take control of their demands and distractions – at home and at work. She is passionate about getting the results they want, whether it's doubling their business revenue, losing weight, or creating stronger boundaries.

    In our conversation today, Mridu digs into the one thing that holds women back from reaching their goals even though they’re always working hard. She shares the single most impactful system to manage all the demands on your time. And when it inevitably goes awry, Mridu helps us understand how to get back on track.

    Show Notes:

    [2:47] - Before starting her own business, Mridu worked in the corporate world.

    [4:57] - Her goal as a coach is to help clients be in control of their intentions and their attention.

    [6:11] - Ever have the feeling of going to bed at night and feeling like you didn’t accomplish anything?

    [7:26] - Write out your top priorities. Are they a part of your daily routine? Are you letting things get in the way? Start with clarity.

    [9:47] - It’s okay for your priorities to change every week, but be intentional.

    [13:14] - Success is less about doing and more about planning.

    [14:30] - Ask yourself what are the things you can do today that will make you feel the most successful each day?

    [16:53] - There’s a marriage between the to-do list and the calendar. They come together.

    [18:16] - Everything makes sense when we see it on a list or a calendar.

    [21:22] - There’s a lot of pressure out there to do a million things.

    [24:31] - We procrastinate because we think it will make us feel better by avoiding the thing we don’t want to do. But the longer we wait, the heavier we feel.

    [25:54] - A major problem is a lack of boundaries.

    [28:40] - Mridu shares a little about her podcast and how you can connect with her.

  • 338 - Trusting Yourself as You Go for Big Goals
    Feb 21 2024

    Today's episode is a recording of an impromptu live stream inspired by the vibrant community at She Sells, where the core message was really shining through: trust yourself. I invite you to open your mind and heart as we explore the power of trusting ourselves, especially when we’ve got leveling up to do.

    Trusting yourself isn't always comfortable, especially when the goals we have are big and lofty. It's about embracing uncertainty and taking that quantum leap, even when fear whispers doubts into your ear. As we navigate through the trials of decision-making and self-doubt, remember this: every time you bet on yourself and follow through, the results will be better than you ever could have imagined.

    In this episode, we peel back the layers of what it truly means to trust yourself. It's not just about studying or seeking external validation; it's about internalizing that knowledge and taking action. We challenge seeking advice from those around us and instead, encourage you to trust your own intuition. As you listen, consider the profound question: Who do you need to become to navigate this growth and success? Remember, growth is never logical or safe—it's about trusting yourself every step of the way and not making decisions out of fear.

     

    Show Notes:

    [3:26] - The core message that underlies everything in the She Sells community is all about trusting yourself.

    [4:41] - Trusting yourself can sometimes feel uncomfortable especially when it comes to big goals.

    [6:47] - What does decision-making from the end look like?

    [9:02] - Every time you bet on yourself and see it through, it will always turn out better than I could have imagined.

    [12:03] - Studying is a great first step, but if we don’t take what we learn into understanding deeply and taking action, it’s not useful.

    [14:17] - Trusting yourself is where the real work is.

    [16:30] - We tend to look to friends and family for advice, but if they do not have the results you want, they will not be able to give you feedback that matches what you want.

    [20:56] - To make the amount of money you want, to get the promotion or clients you want, to make a quantum leap, you need to trust yourself.

    [22:25] - Hear about upcoming opportunities to connect and learn with Elyse including a free online event and high level retreats.

    [25:04] - When you are growing and leveling up, it won’t always feel safe and logical.

    [26:14] - Who do you get to become to navigate this successfully?
