The School of Self-Mastery: Business, Money, Life

The School of Self-Mastery podcast is all about business, money and life. I talk with guests who have created a RICH life for themselves, not because they’re bathing in money, (although they may be doing that too) but because they’ve defined and created success on their own terms, through their own personal successful habits. Habits are the root of simplifying your success I also appear solo two days a week to dive deeper into self-mastery topics and give actionable takeaways you can start applying today.

ARE YOU IMPLEMENTING THINGS?!

MASTERY is the secret of the world's greatest and most successful achievers.

What sets my work apart from any thing else is really quite simple.

I am focused on MASTERY, not information OVERLOAD.

Let me explain why I personally think mastery is so important…

Mastery is the highest form of achievement.

It DOES NOT require you to be perfect, but it does require you to pursue perfection.

The only way to become successful is to master the foundational elements that are aligned with your desired end results and goals.

The problem with most people is they have so much information - they take courses, read books, go to conferences, enroll in programs, watch countless webinars, read emails, etc...but they're so overwhelmed they take the wrong action, or even worse - they take NO ACTION & stay paralyzed.

The immature learner wants to get as much information as they can as fast as they can, but you’ll usually find them broke, stressed, and lacking real progress.

The mature mind is very deliberate with what they study and put in their mind.

Achievers that are ready for mastery focus on listening & learning one thing until they’ve adopted it into their daily routines and habits, and seen their results improve.

ONLY THEN do they move onto the next skill that’s aligned w/ their goals and vision.

Mastery of new skills is not optional in today’s business environment and changing economy. We're in a fast-moving, competitive world, & being able to master new skills is one of the keys to success.

Here are some keys to mastery:

BABY STEPS: Real progress and self-improvement can feel overwhelming. Realize that you can’t take on everything (this is why people don't see desired results in anything - they're focused on everything). If you do, you’ll never do it. Choose one or two things to focus on, and break that down into manageable bite-sized goals.

REFLECT: To move from experimentation to mastery, you need to reflect on what you are learning. Otherwise it won’t stick. Reflecting about your progress helps you get real feedback, keeps you accountable, and cements the change.

BE PATIENT: Too often, we approach a new skill with the attitude that we should nail it right out of the gate. The reality is that it takes much longer. It’s not going to happen overnight. This is where people get frustrated and switch gears to something else - DON'T GET FLIPPY FLOPPY! Stick with it. MASTER IT.

 

What are YOU going to MASTER?!

SOCIAL MEDIA ETI-KIT; The Rules of Engagement

You’re doing social media wrong if: 

1. You’re not engaging well. 

  • you’re idea of engagement is posting more instead of realizing that no one is commenting because of two reasons 1. your copy isnt’ good or 2. no one knows you because you didn't build relationships. 
  • Your responses are too simple - no more canned responses! 

2. You’re being spammy or sales w/ engagement EWWW. 

  • backdoor or front - doesn’t matter still gross.

3. You don’t care enough about what other people are doing - you need to get personal and care not just about your post - care about other people too. Do they know you?

4. You’re not adding value. Which is an annoying phrase cause what does that really mean? 

Needs to be at least one of these things:

  • shareable,
  • implementable,
  • aha-able, 
  • inspirational (only peppered in inspiration, not ALL inspiration). 

 

5. You’re only focused on getting clients with social media instead of connecting with people for real reasons.

What you measure, grows, yet I see many entrepreneurs not keeping track of their most important numbers. Let's talk about the metrics you need to be focusing on! 

Tracking business metrics related to your current and past performance helps because in order to improve current performance you need to understand the numbers. 

Businesses often have a good handle on how sales are going, but expenses can easily creep higher and before you know it, your profitable venture isn’t so profitable anymore.

The first step is to know which metrics can best help you gauge performance. It’s easy to get bogged down by focusing on too many metrics or distracted by focusing on metrics that have minimal impact to your bottom line. 

Let's evaluate some key metrics!

In today's hectic world of wireless devices, trending topics, and general economic turmoil, people find a simple balance in life very difficult to achieve. In today's episode I share how to find spiritual balance while still working to achieve your highest goals. 

And we uncover the real truth about why finding spiritual balance is the only way to acheive those highest goals. 

Spiritual balance occurs largely through being yourself and figuring out what works best for you to stay in a high vibration. This is not always easy because to be yourself is one of the most difficult processes for most people, because they really have no idea who or what they are.

This is where forms of meditation comes into play.

Melissa Pharr has mastered her mindset to create big money months in her industry. Over the past few months she's created between $20-50k/month and she's telling all today on the mindset it takes to make that happen. 

Melissa Pharr grew up as a country girl in a small Idaho town of 25,000 people, before completing college and working in the fitness industry straight after. Although she was quickly promoted to an upper level management position where she excelled at team training and sales, it wasn’t long after that her desire for greater time freedom and unlimited financial growth took her on a new path. 

Melissa uprooted her life, moved to NYC, and decided to test her skills as an entrepreneur and coach. She fell in love with the big apple and slowly built her coaching business, but still struggled financially to pay the bills each month. Melissa felt she was meant for more, and strongly desired to become a high level coach with a mission to improve the relationship between women and money.

She joined the Academy and Business of Coaching with Gina Devee and within months, she was consistently generating 5-figure months in her coaching business with the previous months coming in at $20K, $30K, $40K this past June, and onto $50K + with the expectation of an upcoming 6-figure launch this fall.

Visualizations are a powerful way to actualize your goals. When you can see yourself doing something then you're much more likely to be able to make it happen. 

On the other hand, if you cannot even create a vision of yourself achieving the goal, the likelihood of you accomplishing it is very slim. 

As an athlete, I used this process ALL THE TIME, and you can apply it to your business and any goal just as easily.
