What Every Business Needs to Know Right Now About Money Blocks

​What do businesses need to know right now about Money Blocks?

Sensei Victoria Whitfield has toured the world, showing heart-centered and growth-minded leaders how to get connected to their natural intuition and truly be visionary so they can work less and increase their impact, which as visionary healers, is so important. The big question is, how does this apply to me? What do I need strategic meditation for in the corporate world?

What is the number one thing holding businesses back from the growth that they desire?“

The one thing that we need the most right now as leaders, to really take our vision and business to the next level is: energy awareness. We can get stagnant and begin to plateau at levels of growth and development, forward momentum plateaus and slows the movement of the business. You can be doing all the right things: doing what the consultants do, following the protocols that you’ve set up before, working as best you could, but the plateau keeps coming. There’s a certain point where it becomes more of an energetic issue, rather than just a systems issue.”


“What do I mean by energy? Answering this question is especially important – defining the word “energy” for leaders who may not be familiar with “woo-woo” talk.”

What is the definition of ‘woo-woo,’ and how does it apply in the corporate world?

This is softer skills management. It has to do with emotional intelligence: not just IQ, but we’re talking about EQ as well – measuring the level of relatability in leadership, morale in organizations as well as employee wellness. When you’re looking at improving your corporation’s wellness and human resources programs, the types of programs that can take things to the right next level are often a little bit out of the box. They could come from different and divergent cultures, such as Eastern medicine and philosophies. But these programs are better suited to help maintain your team’s health and well being outside of just a medical context. It is not just about keeping you and your employees off the operating table, but instead it’s about how you can live life feeling well, working well, and getting better and better over time. To a Western mindset, it can be classified as ‘woo-woo’, other cultural practices for health and wellbeing. But I just want to take that ‘woo-woo’ word and smash it on the floor, like the brittle glass box that it is, and let it go.

This stuff is extremely relevant to the business environment. The research you’ve done and the work you’ve done with your clients has enabled you to help them break free from a lot of the fears, the “blockages” that have held them back through the strategic meditation and other methodologies that you use.

What methodology allows a business to tap into their energy and natural intuition?

Strategic meditation is meditation done with purpose, within a professional context. The reason why we do that is to manage the force behind action, the force behind focus, and that force is: energy. Yes, you may know exactly what needs to get done. But if you’re feeling drained and exhausted, not just on a physical level of exhaustion, but also emotionally exhausted, unable to move past this obstacle here or there, then that can end up being an energetic issue. Being able to bring meditation in during strategic points in the growth and momentum of a given organization can help open up what may be a roadblock and turn it into a springboard for new growth.

Many businesses are looking at the way they’ve done things in the past and what’s happening now and thinking: I’m worried about the world, I’m worried about my business, I’m worried about my clients, I’m worried about my employees. Energetically, if we’re speaking that way, there’s this disconnect. What should a business do?

A business can absolutely manifest a momentum or money block for sure through this type of thinking. “I’m worried. I’m worried. I’m worried” places your focus – and your force behind your action – on to generating more worry, rather than generating solutions.

This is okay. It’s normal, natural; we’re not trying to completely discount “worry” itself. However, it can drain your creative and productive energy. It’s at this very point that you can bring in meditation, strategically. In the work that I do, we set up structures to make sure that you’re bringing in meditation at the times that we’ve seen tend to create the most energetic blockage in organizations. You can tell that the energy of that organization is either low or stagnant because the sales are stagnating. The opt-ins or the conversions are stagnating. In turn, if you meditate in a certain way, you can restore or even reset your energy, and then go to the issue having your thumb on the pulse of your people – feeling that connection to: Yes, we’re clicked in. We understand each other. We’re flowing, we’re progressing.

But if there’s a disconnect, in a way that you can’t exactly explain – such as, when the numbers should be working, given all of what is being done – then it could be more of an energetic block, and the money will reflect that. This in fact is why I’m so grateful to work with entrepreneurs and business owners: because we can look at the money and see how it is responding to their energetic work.

Using strategic meditation to tap into your natural intuition, tap into deeper knowing and understanding, and then using that to do the strategic planning is a magic formula.

3 Action Steps
  1. Become energy aware. Notice what you are putting out into the world and what you are attracting back to you.
  2. Be open to new ways of solving the problems in your business.
  3. Learn strategic meditation to apply it to your business.

Be sure to connect with Victoria Whitfield on LinkedIn or contact her for a 1-1 conversation to discern the problem in your organization or in your business’s growth and how to integrate strategic meditation to ensure the problem is converted into your springboard.

Tracking Your Profit System

4/14/2021

Okay…I know I’ve said it before, but systems and processes are things that REALLY excite me!

I LOVE them!

They make me happy!

And if you’re sitting there rolling your eyes and thinking, “Here goes Nettie again…talking about systems and processes. It’s time for me to grab another cup of coffee…”

STOP!

This is a system that you’re going to want to hear about – because we’re talking about your Profit System!

Often, when I talk with my clients, the first “system” they want to delve into is the sales process. I get that. It’s the most exciting one – because when you dial in your sales process, you receive a steady stream of prospects, clients, and sales – all with ease and abundance.

Who doesn’t want that?

On the flip side, one of the most neglected processes is accounts payable and receivable.

Why?

Because when things are going well, you trust that money to be in the bank.

And when it’s not, it can be really scary to go online and look at your bank balance. (**Cue the scary music**)

To top it off, you may not be paying yourself enough, consistently – or even at all.

And that’s stressful.

But I’ve learned some concepts that have helped me to create systems so that I’m getting paid.

And even better than just getting paid, I’m paying myself WITH EASE.

Want to know how?

First off, I’m going to give a BIG SHOUTOUT to three of my favorite people who have taught me some invaluable things – Mike Michalowicz, the founder of Profit First Professionals, Amber Dugger with Budget Alchemy, and Brian Rassi with Enstigate. If you want to learn from the best – these people are at the top of the list! And yes, we’ll be talking about these concepts more in-depth at Momentum Live Virtual 2021 (coming up April 28th, 29th, and 30th) – but I wanted to share a few ideas today to get your brain thinking about how you can apply these ideas to your business – and join us at Momentum Live Virtual 2021 with the wheels already turning.

1. Let’s start with Profit First Professionals and what Mike Michalowicz has to say. Mike says that you need to pay yourself first – even if at the start of using this strategy, you are only taking out 1% of your income to set aside for profit. His recommendation is to set up a system so that whenever money comes in, you allocate to: Profit, Your Pay, Taxes, and finally – Expenses.

Doing this helps you see realistically how much money you have to work with and what to cut/add to your budget. It’s a complete reverse of what we usually do – paying expenses first and hoping you have enough left to pay yourself, your business, and the government.

2. Amber Dugger (Budget Alchemy) shares how you turn your cash flow into gold by helping you understand how to determine the right numbers for your business. It can be easy to say that you want to earn 100K or a million dollars. But to start working towards those goals without clearly looking at what you need could leave you spinning your wheels and making little to no progress.

You need to know your business expenses – and what your personal financial needs are – to come up with an accurate number. You then add in the taxes and profit amounts and blend this all with an amazing tool like YNAB. You can then work magic to create a system for receiving and tracking your income – all while applying the concepts of Profit First.

3. Finally, Brian Rassi of Enstigate focuses on cash flow and the vehicles in your business to ensure that you have a little “jingle in your pocket” and can make decisions from a place of abundance – rather than scarcity.

You met Brian in the Tuesday and Thursday emails from this week (and he’ll be at Momentum Live Virtual 2021) – so make sure you check them out for more info or text the word POSSIBLE to 411321 to connect with him.

Here’s the bottom line: When you start ensuring you have what you need financially in your business, it’s the same as putting your oxygen mask on first in the event of an emergency on an airplane. The more you cultivate financial awareness and abundance, the better position you will find yourself in – allowing you to serve your clients better. That’s a win for everyone.

​Did you get a chance to read Tuesday’s “What Businesses Need to Know Right Now” interview with Brian Rassi or watch the video? The interview took place right before the Christmas holiday, but the information Brian shared about accessing capital and being ready with your documents is vital – and not just as a new year begins.

In fact, I loved what Brian had to share so much that I invited him to present at Momentum Live Virtual 2021. Brian will be presenting “It’s Possible: You’re on the Precipice of Your Next Level” – and YES – YOU ARE!!

Getting to that next level is what so many of you are working for – yet you might feel cash-strapped and that you’re bootstrapping your business – and that’s frustrating. After all, you’ve got the vision – and you know you can do it – but you need the capital.

Brian brings his expertise to help you access “the right money, at the right time, in the right way to finally fulfill your vision and mission for the business!” And this could be one of the needed pieces to complete that puzzle to get you and your business where you want it to be.

So, what are you waiting for? Join us for Momentum Live Virtual 2021 (happening April 28th, 29th, or 30th – you just need to choose one day to attend). I promise it will be what you and your business need!

What Every Business Needs to Know Right Now About Accessing Capital

4/8/2021

0 Comments

​What should business owners be doing going into this holiday break when it comes to accessing the right money?

Right now is the best time to get clear on a plan. Get your plan in place for 2021.

The biggest reason why businesses don’t get access to the right money at the right time and in the right way is because they’re not prepared. They’re just not prepared. They don’t think about the future.

But the smart business owners – the ones that are on top of it – they will think about the future. They’ll plan out how much in resources they need and what they want to do – and plan accordingly.

And there’s no better time than the next two weeks – when everyone’s shutting down – to get your plan for 2021. Be ready to go get your paperwork in line, get your plan in line, and figure it out. This is the perfect time to do that.

What should we be looking at when it comes to preparing our plan?

It’s great that you have a budget, a pro forma, and you’re figuring out what it is. Once you understand that, then backtrack it out – and think about how much money you need to access to do that.

This is where business owners get confused. They think they’ve got to bootstrap it all the way themselves. They don’t realize that there’s capital resources and certain financial products out there that help them scale to the next level to accommodate that plan without taking all that risk on themselves – especially with this influx of capital coming in with the stimulus money, especially with what’s going on in 2021.

With the banks, this time of year for accountants and things like that, you better get your plan in place – because it’s just a critical time. And there’s no better time to set it up. With the next two weeks, you’re probably not taking as many sales calls. People are probably going on vacation. Just allocate the right amount of time and get your plan in place with how much resources you need and how you want to accomplish this in 2021.

“You don’t have to bootstrap it. You don’t have to sell the next client package, program or service in order to fund the things that you’re trying to create in your business. You can access capital. As entrepreneurs or small business owners, have you done this?”

First, realize it’s possible. The first step to anything is to realize it’s possible to get access to money. I don’t care where you’re at in your business or what stage you’re at in your business. I don’t care what your credit score is. You can get access to the right money at the right time in the right way. You’ve just got to know where to look. And you’ve got to know how to structure it.

And so, the biggest confusion is realizing you don’t have to do it all yourself. There’s so much capital out there. There’s so many different alternative products and services out there. You’ve just got to know where to look and align yourself with the right plan with the right financial product to get there.

But it first starts with realizing that it’s possible. You can do it, and you don’t have to do it alone. You can get access to it, I promise you. There’s a lot of money and a lot of people out there that want to invest in you. Start making a plan and get ready for it.

“Do you have a plan in place that will get you the capital you need and doesn’t involve racking up credit card debt? Spending some time getting aligned with the right products and services can be financially beneficial to you and your company.”

How should we best go about getting access to the right money?

So, you’ve got your plan, and you’ve figured out how much you need. You went to your accountant, you got all your books in order, you got all your documents in order, and now it’s time to structure it.

Now you can do it one of two ways. You can do it, but you should find an advisor, someone who’s out there that knows where to look. Now you probably have someone in your arsenal. And if you don’t, then obviously there are companies like ourselves that might be able to help you out. I’m saying that facetiously. But we can definitely help you out and help point you in the right direction at the right time.

But first, get your documents in order. I promise you, the biggest reason why people don’t get access to money is because they don’t have the right books. They don’t get their books or financials ready. They wait until the last minute. And the most expensive money is the money you take when you need it the most. The cheapest money is the money you take when you don’t.

You better be proactive and get out there and get ahead of this thing. You’ve got to get out ahead of it if you want that line of credit this year. If you want to get that loan, get out ahead of it – especially if you’re trying to get a loan with a banking institution. When they come out with this stimulus money, they’re going to have a backlog again, and so you’re going to be in the back of the line. So, you’ve got to get out ahead of it.

I would say first, get your ducks in a row. Second, get your financials or all your documents ready now, and then get your plan, and then we’ll just execute.

“I was listening to you in another mastermind presentation about how money is accessible and less expensive at different times of the year. The example that you gave was Black Friday. You said if you were prepared, if you knew what programs and services you wanted access to, if you knew what your goals were, then on Black Friday, you could have been waiting and ready to take advantage of it and get things at a quarter of the cost – because a lot of companies were running different specials and programs and things like that.”

“Businesses should know what they want so that they can take advantage of opportunity when it rolls around.”

Yes, they happen all the time. This year there will be Valentine’s specials and Easter specials.

But you’ve got to have a plan. You’ve got to be ready. And when you get access to the money before you need it, then all you do is just use it. And then you make more money, and you pay it back. And you use it again, and you pay more money to pay it back. But you have it because the smart business owners know there’s going to be an opportunity always on the next horizon. They just prepare to have access to the money – to actually take advantage of it.

If I told you how many calls we get where they like, “Brian, I need the money like yesterday.” But he should have come to us a couple of weeks earlier. So, we get your plan – and you have a plan in place – the right plan.

3 Action Steps
  1. Create a plan that looks to the future so you can establish what you will need for resources.
  2. Understand that you don’t have to go it alone and that capital is available for you and your business.
  3. Take advantage of opportunities to access capital before you need it, so you don’t find yourself in financial distress.

Your Recipe for Success in Business

4/8/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
​The other night I was making dinner for my family (You may have actually seen the recipe I was making as I shared it on Facebook because it’s one of my faves – here it is if you want something delicious to make: Easy Vegan Italian Pasta Salad) – and it got me thinking about what recipe you need for success in business.

As with any recipe, before you put your own spin on it – you want to master the recipe you’ve been given. So, you probably follow it step by step – and you don’t stray too far – because it’s a good recipe.

For your business, I started thinking about the basic ingredients for success:
  • Knowledge of your target audience
  • A strategic plan
  • Systems and processes
  • Impeccable customer service
  • The ability to listen and learn
  • Continuous improvement

With those in place – because they cover such a wide range of things – your business is going to do quite well. And maybe you’d get that Michelin star that you’re after! It’s a solid recipe – and you’re seeing results.

But you’re probably not going to get three Michelin stars. (And I know – because so many of you are like me – that you want three stars!)

Because your recipe needs your personal touch!

It needs something that’s going to make it stand out in a crowd.

And for everyone – the recipe is going to be a little bit different.

After all, we don’t all have the same palette.
​
And we all have different cravings.

But this is where you start to put your spin on the recipe.
You might:
  • Build a team to support you
  • Reach out to experts who can assist you or offer advice
  • Set new goals to move you forward
  • Create new marketing strategies
  • Work on your mindset
  • Pivot or shift your business in a way that works for you and your clients
  • Overcome fears and take a risk
  • Implement some automation

The additions you make to your recipe all depend on you and where you’re at – and where you want to go.

And isn’t it comforting to know that the possibilities are practically endless with your business – because you have mastered the basic recipe?

But let’s be honest, too often we try to put the spin on the recipe before we’ve got the original down pat – and that’s what gets a business into trouble.

No matter where you are with your recipe – you always need to have the basics mastered (and occasionally, you’ll need a refresher) before you start putting your spin on it.

I’m here to support you with your recipe – think of me as your Sous Chef! And no matter where you are in the process – from mastering the basics to putting your spin on it – I’m here to help you get your first Michelin star, your second Michelin star, and your third Michelin star.

What Every Business Needs to Know Right Now About Taking Business to the Next Level

In September 2020, I invited visibility expert, Susan Rose of SusanRose.net to join me for tea and a chat. We were talking about what is needed to take your business to the next level. You can check out the full interview here (it’s about 15 minutes). But I thought I would summarize what Susan shared in nine highlights:
​
  1. Enjoy coffee or tea with friends and colleagues.
  2. Celebrate connections and relationships you have built by finding time to share experiences.
  3. Even though you can do planning alone in your office, take the time to do it with others where you will be challenged, held accountable, available for brainstorming, see things from another perspective, energized, and supported.
  4. Be with people that have a different life experience and perspective than you do.
  5. It’s ok if your plan changes, you can use other skills such as resiliency, problem solving, and leveraged relationships.
  6. There are lessons you cannot learn from reading a book but that come from shared experiences.
  7. Thinking, planning and masterminding are important but you must connect that to implementation.
  8. Be in a room where people are open to sharing their knowledge to support you and that you are willing to reciprocate.
  9. Take time away from the normal day to day of your business.

I’d love to hear from you. What tools do you use to help you scale your business?

Are you alone in your office? Good. Take a minute right now and VENT. No one will see you or hear you. Let it all out. What is NOT working in your business right now?

Here are the things my clients share:
  • You are stuck in the day to day of operations.
  • COVID-19 hit hard and you are weary from the change, pivot, holding on that you have had to do over the last year.
  • You have people who rely on you clients, employees, partners and see others making leaps and bounds but it seems like there is never enough time.
  • You are losing energy and more pushing is not helping, nor are your other coping strategies that have worked in the past.
  • You have a BIG idea, but you are unsure where or how to begin so you continue to wait.
  • Change seems scary and you don’t feel you have the support team in place, yet, to make it happen.
  • You are not sure who to connect with whose dreams are as big as yours.

I get it because I have been there. I know how frustrating all of those scenarios are.

Now that is off your chest, what are you prepared to do about it?

How about joining me for Momentum Live Virtual?

Getting in the Room with Cat Stancik

3/25/2021

​Interview:
​

Cat Stancik: It’s all about the room where it happens, right?

Nettie Owens: Absolutely. And you just joined us in the room where it’s happening right now. What is the value of being in the room where it’s happening? You’ve had a lot of experiences being in the room. Tell me about just a few of them.

Cat Stancik: I’ve been in some pretty secret rooms. I’ve been behind the scenes in a lot of different events. And I’ve been with hundreds of people, 1000s of people and 10s of people. And I’ve been in the room with some of the top marketers in the world.

Nettie Owens: You were in a Russell Brunson room.

Cat Stancik: We couldn’t pay to get access to it. I mean, basically, people were saying I’ll pay millions of dollars to get access to it. And people they were being told, “No.”

Nettie Owens: Actually, the more fabulous person in that room was probably our mutual acquaintance, Molly Mahoney, because Molly was in that room.

Cat Stancik: Yep. I saw the sparkle pants upfront and personal, gave her a big hug. I should share some of those photos. In terms of credibility, I was in the room where it happened and I’m in the room where it happens a lot, I have a great network, lots of connections, people that I actually consider friends and don’t use as the “star power thing” or whatever.

There’s a difference in all the different kinds of rooms that I’ve been in. That difference is the quality of the person. I’m not saying that the quality of the person in the big event that I was at wasn’t very high. But there is something to be said about being in a space where people are wanting to create.

I always think of you when I say this, many people are in a space where they create a lot of movement, they’re busy, they’re doing stuff, they’re getting some stuff done. But there’s a difference between movement and momentum.

And your room is specifically designed to create the momentum. So if you’re in doubt as to whether or not you’re creating movement or momentum, Momentum Live helps create that tuning fork, it creates that space, and provides an environment where you can see where you are creating movement and where you are creating the momentum in your business. Because momentum is where the millions come from.

Nettie Owens: We talked about the difference between being busy and being productive. And busy-ness versus business. Creating the right kinds of movement, the right kinds of action that are going to get you growth. I don’t know about you, but as a mom and a business owner, and wife, all those things….

Cat Stancik: And teacher now because we’re homeschooling!

Nettie Owens: Exactly, it is not hard to be busy.

Cat Stancik: It’s like the analogy, are you buzzing? Or are you creating honey? Which one? Are you just spinning around just kind of creating movement? Because the bees dance? Right?

What is your intention? Is your action actually producing results? The honey.

You can’t create momentum without taking space and time to really look at first, grounding yourself and asking, “Alright, you know, let’s be real. It’s a gut check. How am I doing?” Maybe things are amazing.

If so, what’s working? How am I being amazing? How do I do what I do? And how do I keep repeating that? You can’t do that without creating that space that time to really go in and ask the deep questions.

Could you do it by yourself at your office and you know, at your home or whatever? Maybe. But, you probably haven’t. Do you have other successful people looking at your plan and saying, “Whoa! Big huge block here. Right here.”

Nettie Owens Or even better, “Enormous opportunity that you aren’t paying attention to” You just need to turn your head and you can stop being busy and you can start being effective at what you’re doing.

You came to Momentum Live in March 2020, the Pandemic Version. If I recall, you were surprised at the “room where it happened” feeling. What made you decide to come and what did you find there?

Cat Stancik: I decided to come because I am an action taker. Recently I was doing a launch, the launch was not yet over. And I’m thinking, “Alright, what am I moving on to next? What’s the next thing on the horizon?” That’s just how I roll my business. I’m very action focused. I’m very, “here’s a plan, go and implement it, go, go, go, go go.” The problem is, that when you’re always go-go-going, you might be go-go-going off the cliff. You don’t realize because you’re so tunnel focused that you don’t look at what’s not the next step, but three steps forward.

Three steps forward is a big crash and burn energetically such as you’ve spent too much and you need self care.

That was one of thing that was an unintended benefit, which is there was space and time for me to be away from my family.

I love to be able to look at my business to get other people’s eyes on my business. I try to go into any event kind of unattached as to what I expect which helps me be surprised, because then it allows me to let people be themselves and show up in their brilliance instead of me coming in with a judgment or anything like that.

There’s a gamut of the level of experience and the level of success. Some people were phenomenally successful and something happened. Other people are ramping it up. Other people are swinging hard, and they’re hitting the ball, right? There’s that gamut.

Everybody has something to contribute. Let’s say there’s someone who’s at six figures in their business, right? But they could have been running like Microsoft before.

Nettie Owens: That can be a rough switchover, by the way. And so we hear about it a lot from people who left a corporate job or were otherwise at the top of their game to start their business. That can be a bit of a bumpy road.

Cat Stancik: What is beautiful is that people have these skill sets that they can transfer over into their entrepreneurial journey. It could be someone who maybe was unemployable and who’s now you know, close to a million dollars in their business because they needed to be the boss, not an employee, right? Amazing people.

One of the most amazing things that you have, is that you create phenomenal communities, wherever you go. You have an entourage. You express, “I believe in you. I believe in me. I believe in anybody that you bring into the room.” It just creates this tribe of empowered people. Men and women alike, who are really out there making that positive impact in the world. And when you get access to those people, and they can look at your business, they’re looking at it unattached.

You have your fears in yourself and what you can accomplish that blinds you to what’s possible. But when you’ve got someone who can see the path clearly, you’ve got other people who’ve been there done that in some capacity, who can tell you what to avoid and what to double down on, it helps create that momentum in your business. It accelerates your results. But you don’t get that unless you create the space and the time in your business to actually go and focus on your business and not always be in your business.

Summing up. What is in the “Room Where It Happens?”
  • Connections
  • Closed business
  • The ability to ask for what you need
  • Mentors
  • Implementation
  • Relationships
  • Tools
  • Information that is not available anywhere else
  • Objectivity
  • Clarity
  • Feedback
  • Energy

​Can you believe we’re almost in to Q2 of 2021? It was just one year ago that we gathered for Momentum Live, speculating whether a quarantine would last for 8 weeks or 12 (ah, the good old days when we were so optimistic).

A year later we are still optimistic. Why? Because we’ve lived through the most difficult time and we are still going strong.

Give yourself a pat on the back.

And then get ready to make 2021 the best year EVER in your business.

How? By attending Momentum Live Virtual (details below).

Chances are in 2020 you had to toss your plans and create others. You have pivoted, you have innovated, you have stretched yourself. At this point, I am guessing you are ready for a little normalcy, consistency and growth.

It’s Ok. You Are Not Alone.

AND 2021 really can be your best year yet.

I’ve created an amazing virtual event (after all, I’ve had a year of virtual events to figure out how to make one AMAZING).

You can find all the details on the registration page, but here are the highlights:
  • It runs April 28th to 30th. You choose one of those days for the workshop where you’ll create a step-by-step strategic plan you can easily act on. You’ll be in a cohort with 30 smart, successful, amazing entrepreneurs to provide insight and guidance.
  • You can attend the opening party on April 27th, the hot seat mastermind on the 29th, the guest speaker trainings on the 29th and 30th, and all the other fun networking activities.
  • You will nurture relationships with other business owners that are just as ‘outside the box’ as you are
  • You will finally get started on that BIG goal because you will KNOW what to do on a day-to-day basis to achieve success in business and life

“Momentum Live gave me time and space to look at my business. Nettie creates phenomenal communities wherever she goes. I had a tribe of empowered people making a positive impact on the world, looking at MY business.

Being Called to Leadership as a Business Owner

​This week has been all about leaders and leadership. We kicked the week off with Vanessa Judelman sharing “What Businesses Need to Know Right Now About Leadership.” Then you were introduced to Dana Moore of Inspired Lightwork.

But today, I want to know what you think about leadership. More specifically – when you hear the words leader or leadership – what comes to mind?
  • Do you think about big business and the corporate structure associated with it?
  • Perhaps you think back to some “leaders” in your past who were – well, let’s just say – not-so-fabulous?
  • Or maybe you’re thinking about how you started your own business so that you wouldn’t have to deal with “leaders” at all?

But guess what? You’re a leader!

Why would I say this? Because – whether you wanted it or not – you’ve been called to leadership.

Just take a moment to read this quote:
“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” —John Maxwell

That’s YOU!

After all, you wouldn’t have started your own business if you couldn’t do those things!

But let’s break them down – in case you need a little reassurance!

A leader is one who knows the way.

This one is probably the easiest to recognize in yourself. You’ve started down the path with your business – and no matter where you are on the path – you know where you want to go.

It’s not easy at times – and the path may not be as clear as you’d like – but you’re ready to tromp it down – or find a new approach – to get where you want.

That’s a leader.

That’s you.

A leader goes the way.

We often talk about how leaders should lead by example and exemplify the values they want to see in those around them – and you do that! Day in and day out, you show the best of yourself to others – and you should be so proud of that!

That’s a leader!

That’s you.

A leader shows the way.

Remember a few weeks ago when we talked about “Sharing Your Brilliance,” and I encouraged you to set the intention of working in your brilliance and sharing it with others? That’s exactly what “shows the way” is all about.

Whether you share it with your clients or with those in your expert network as you help one another achieve goals – you’re showing how it’s done and making a difference.

That’s a leader.

That’s you.

And don’t worry if you don’t have the whole leadership thing down to a science quite yet. As Vanessa told us: Leaders are made! And you can always learn new skills that are going to help you be the leader you want to be in the long run.

John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, said, “Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” And he was so right!
