The Jim Fortin Podcast Ep 271: Business & Spirituality with James Wedmore
In this episode, James Wedmore and I reveal several nuggets of pure gold as we discuss many topics from personal branding, to crafting an irresistible offer, overcoming the fear of selling, and the power of shifting identity in business.
Each segment of the podcast is packed with actionable advice. However, I want to showcase one of the most profound segments here…
Imagine a scene from a Marvel movie where the superhero discovers their true powers for the first time. The sheer wonder and delight of that moment ripples across their face as they discover all the things they thought were impossible are now easy for them to do.
Well, in the world of business, shifting identity is like unlocking your superpowers. James Wedmore shares his own transformative experience, highlighting how changing his identity revolutionized his business journey.
The secret lies in embracing the role you play and recognizing its impact on your results.
You might BE the CEO, but the question is, are you BEing a CEO?
If you constantly find yourself jumping on tasks that “need to get done” rather than finding talented people to own those efforts, then most likely little of your focus is on the growth of your business.
Plain and simple, a CEO should be focused on leadership and growth, NOT doing data entry or figuring out what image goes best with a social media post.
Success in business is about leverage. Fully assuming your role as CEO is about relinquishing control. It’s about leveraging talented people, resources, and tools to enable your business's growth.
Now, whether you are a business owner or not, think about how this applies to your life. Are you constantly trying to “do it all” yourself and not reaching out when you could use help in your personal growth?
In the various roles we play in our lives, mother, father, daughter, son, student, employee… heck, even pet owner. How are you showing up? Do you embrace and fully assume your role? Do you want to?
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, soon-to-be entrepreneur, or happy employee, we should all ask these questions of ourselves. And if you want to learn how we answered them I can promise you that you’ll gain valuable insight listening in on my conversation with James.
Transformational Takeaway: To receive success, you must BE success. Our actions are only as good as our BEing. Shift your identity to BEing that version of yourself that receives all the things you desire. From that BEing your DOing will change and become powerful.
