Your Business Mirrors You: The Hidden Growth Strategy

Speaker: 00:00:00

You.

Speaker: 00:00:03

Let's talk about the hidden business growth strategy no one talks about.

Speaker: 00:00:08

No, I used to think that success was about getting the right strategy, the

Speaker: 00:00:16

right offer, the right audience.

Speaker: 00:00:18

Like, if I could just unlock this one missing piece, everything would

Speaker: 00:00:24

fall into place and I would be.

Speaker: 00:00:26

It would be overnight success.

Speaker: 00:00:29

And it isn't that those things don't matter, because they absolutely do.

Speaker: 00:00:33

But it never happens that way.

Speaker: 00:00:36

And maybe you've thought the same.

Speaker: 00:00:38

If I could just get this one thing figured out, if I could just

Speaker: 00:00:41

find that one strategy.

Speaker: 00:00:45

And, you know, I've learned, and what I know now is that business isn't just a

Speaker: 00:00:51

series of strategies or a ton of hard work or, you know, working on your laptop

Speaker: 00:00:56

all day to get something built.

Speaker: 00:00:58

It is not just about the external things that you build.

Speaker: 00:01:03

It's about you, your growth, your mind management and your energy.

Speaker: 00:01:12

Because no matter what marketing strategy you try, what business model you pick, or

Speaker: 00:01:18

what shiny new system you invest in, your business will always be a reflection of.

Speaker: 00:01:25

Of you.

Speaker: 00:01:26

I can remember having a conversation with a young woman who was, you know, building

Speaker: 00:01:33

a business of her own online, and we had gotten off on this tangent about taking

Speaker: 00:01:39

notes and how we were both like, love to take notes.

Speaker: 00:01:41

So we had notebooks full.

Speaker: 00:01:43

And I do I have notebooks full.

Speaker: 00:01:46

Many, many, many notebooks.

Speaker: 00:01:47

And at some point in time, I switched to a digital notebook or an E Ink tablet.

Speaker: 00:01:55

And this is what I take my notes in now, because it just makes it easier.

Speaker: 00:01:59

I can actually find things, you know, with paper notebooks.

Speaker: 00:02:02

Like, if I remembered something that I had written, you know, six months ago, I had

Speaker: 00:02:08

no idea, if I was lucky, I'd know which notebook it was in if I was lucky.

Speaker: 00:02:13

But chances are I didn't.

Speaker: 00:02:14

And even then, I had no idea where it was in the notebook.

Speaker: 00:02:17

Right?

Speaker: 00:02:18

It's not like there's some table of contents automatically

Speaker: 00:02:22

generated in a paper notebook.

Speaker: 00:02:24

Although that would be really awesome if it did.

Speaker: 00:02:27

So I switched to the E Ink tablet, and then at least that way I'm

Speaker: 00:02:31

able to label all of my notes.

Speaker: 00:02:34

I can see I can put, you know, these note files that are labeled, I

Speaker: 00:02:38

can put them into folders.

Speaker: 00:02:39

I can better organize my notes and find them easier.

Speaker: 00:02:43

Plus, I can carry it with me everywhere.

Speaker: 00:02:46

And when I told her about this, she was fascinated and she was so excited.

Speaker: 00:02:51

And she was like, oh, this is going to make such a huge difference for me

Speaker: 00:02:54

and I am going to order it today.

Speaker: 00:02:56

And she reached out to me by email to get the details, and I was happy to Share.

Speaker: 00:02:59

And she ordered it and she was like, this is going to be it.

Speaker: 00:03:02

This is going to be the key thing to keep me organized and moving forward.

Speaker: 00:03:05

And a couple of weeks later, I spoke with her and I said, how is

Speaker: 00:03:11

the, the new Ink tablet? And.

Speaker: 00:03:13

And she's like, oh, you know, it's, it's okay.

Speaker: 00:03:16

I'm, I'm like not really using it as much as I should.

Speaker: 00:03:19

And I could hear that disappointment in her voice that it wasn't the thing

Speaker: 00:03:24

that made the difference for her.

Speaker: 00:03:27

And this is what I caution against, because we see this all the time in,

Speaker: 00:03:32

in coaching businesses when it's that shiny object syndrome, right?

Speaker: 00:03:37

Like, you see that thing and then somehow in your mind, you think that thing is

Speaker: 00:03:40

going to be the thing that makes it so that tomorrow, by this time, you're going

Speaker: 00:03:45

to this incredibly successful business.

Speaker: 00:03:47

And unfortunately, it's just not the case.

Speaker: 00:03:51

So, as I said,

Speaker: 00:03:57

you know, no matter what marketing strategy you try, what business model you

Speaker: 00:04:01

pick, what shiny new system you invest in, your business will always

Speaker: 00:04:04

be a reflection of you.

Speaker: 00:04:06

And that means the biggest personal growth journey you will ever take is this one.

Speaker: 00:04:14

Basically, how you experience yourself is how you experience business.

Speaker: 00:04:20

And you like to think that you can separate business from personal stuff,

Speaker: 00:04:24

that you can somehow show up and do the work and then keep everything

Speaker: 00:04:27

else in a tidy little box.

Speaker: 00:04:29

And it just doesn't happen that way because there's this one little issue.

Speaker: 00:04:37

Your business mirrors how you experience yourself.

Speaker: 00:04:42

If you constantly second guess yourself, your business will feel

Speaker: 00:04:45

fragile and uncertain.

Speaker: 00:04:47

If you expect things to be hard, everything will feel

Speaker: 00:04:50

like an uphill battle.

Speaker: 00:04:53

If you don't trust yourself to make decisions, you'll always be looking for

Speaker: 00:04:57

the next expert, the next blueprint, the next shortcut, AKA constant learning mode,

Speaker: 00:05:04

or AKA getting ready to get ready to get ready.

Speaker: 00:05:08

You know what I mean?

Speaker: 00:05:11

So when you grow internally, when you learn to trust yourself

Speaker: 00:05:18

and give yourself grace because you're going to make mistakes,

Speaker: 00:05:22

to manage your mind, to shift your energy, your business shifts

Speaker: 00:05:28

too, right alongside you.

Speaker: 00:05:30

Because remember, it's a reflection of you.

Speaker: 00:05:34

Suddenly clarity comes easier.

Speaker: 00:05:36

And regularly decisions don't feel so heavy or difficult.

Speaker: 00:05:41

Opportunities appear because you're open to them.

Speaker: 00:05:44

When you're in that state of mind where you're frustrated and discouraged or maybe

Speaker: 00:05:50

even angry, you shut down your ability to see, to literally see

Speaker: 00:05:56

opportunities around you, right?

Speaker: 00:05:59

Because that's not where your mind is.

Speaker: 00:06:01

And so you miss them.

Speaker: 00:06:06

This is the way everything works.

Speaker: 00:06:08

Neville Goddard said, the world is a mirror forever reflecting what

Speaker: 00:06:13

you are doing within Yourself.

Speaker: 00:06:15

Which means if business isn't growing, who isn't growing either?

Speaker: 00:06:22

The real question is, if this is the case, where are you resisting growth?

Speaker: 00:06:27

What reservations do you have, what hesitations do you have and why?

Speaker: 00:06:34

You know, we crave certainty as human beings.

Speaker: 00:06:37

It's normal. We want certainty.

Speaker: 00:06:39

We want to know absolutely that something is going to happen in the

Speaker: 00:06:43

way that we want it to.

Speaker: 00:06:45

But growth requires openness to all possibilities, even the ones

Speaker: 00:06:50

you can't fathom or see.

Speaker: 00:06:53

One of the biggest reasons you get stuck in a no growth state

Speaker: 00:06:59

is because you crave certainty.

Speaker: 00:07:03

You want to know, will this work?

Speaker: 00:07:05

What if it fails?

Speaker: 00:07:07

What if I put in all this time and energy and effort and it still doesn't take off?

Speaker: 00:07:12

Certainty feels safe.

Speaker: 00:07:15

It's why you hesitate, overthink, and wait for the perfect moment, which

Speaker: 00:07:20

never comes, by the way.

Speaker: 00:07:22

Because if you just had proof, you'd feel confident moving forward,

Speaker: 00:07:27

you wouldn't hesitate, right?

Speaker: 00:07:30

Of course not.

Speaker: 00:07:32

If I could tell you, say that your name is Clara.

Speaker: 00:07:36

Clara, your business is going to hit that tipping point and skyrocket.

Speaker: 00:07:44

October 2, 2025.

Speaker: 00:07:48

If you're Clara, would you keep doing what you're doing?

Speaker: 00:07:53

Because this is contingent on that, right?

Speaker: 00:07:55

That October date when you hit the tipping point is contingent on you keeping

Speaker: 00:08:00

doing what you're doing and not stop.

Speaker: 00:08:02

Would you do it? Of course you would.

Speaker: 00:08:04

Because you know, you have certainty that it is going to all work.

Speaker: 00:08:11

But we don't get to have that kind of certainty, right?

Speaker: 00:08:18

Because like I said, if you just had proof, you'd feel

Speaker: 00:08:21

confident moving forward.

Speaker: 00:08:22

But business doesn't give you proof first.

Speaker: 00:08:26

It gives you experiences.

Speaker: 00:08:28

And those experiences, they're either going to grow you or keep you stuck,

Speaker: 00:08:33

depending on how you choose to see them.

Speaker: 00:08:37

You can see challenges as roadblocks, or you can see them as part of the process.

Speaker: 00:08:43

You can see failure as a sign to quit, or you can take it as feedback and adjust.

Speaker: 00:08:48

Because at the end of the day, it's not the circumstances to that determines your

Speaker: 00:08:54

success, is how you navigate the circumstances.

Speaker: 00:08:56

And I know that sounds like some ridiculous motivational poster that you

Speaker: 00:09:00

see in the hallway of some corporate building.

Speaker: 00:09:03

And I'm sorry, but it's true. It's true.

Speaker: 00:09:07

How you see it is whether you shut doors and you close out the

Speaker: 00:09:12

ability to see opportunities.

Speaker: 00:09:14

And if you stop growing, then guess what?

Speaker: 00:09:17

Your business is going to stop growing too.

Speaker: 00:09:22

Create your own growth and business success from the inside out.

Speaker: 00:09:27

Here's what I know for sure. We'll.

Speaker: 00:09:29

We'll. We'll tiptoe around that word certainty.

Speaker: 00:09:33

You don't have to wait for the world to change before you thrive.

Speaker: 00:09:36

I know there's a song that's similar to this.

Speaker: 00:09:39

Forgive me for not knowing it, but yeah, that makes me think of

Speaker: 00:09:43

something I've heard before.

Speaker: 00:09:44

You don't need permission to grow, and you don't need certainty to move forward.

Speaker: 00:09:50

You just need a desire to move forward.

Speaker: 00:09:55

What you do need is a willingness to commit to your own expansion, no matter

Speaker: 00:10:00

how tough it might feel at times.

Speaker: 00:10:02

Because this isn't just about building a business.

Speaker: 00:10:04

It's about creating your own economy, your own way of doing things, your own impact.

Speaker: 00:10:12

Take it seriously, but don't let it consume you.

Speaker: 00:10:17

Because business, it's just one small part of the bigger picture that's you.

Speaker: 00:10:24

The real journey is the one where you become the person who can be the

Speaker: 00:10:29

business that you want to create.

Speaker: 00:10:31

Your business grows when you grow, and the further you're willing to take

Speaker: 00:10:34

it, the greater the impact.
