She Means Business Show

Building a successful business or turning any dream into reality is never an easy feat.  In fact, we all have to face challenges, rejections and failures on the way to making it happen. It’s all part of the process.  So many of us just hold back, waiting for everything to fall into place, for someone to give us our chance or for things to be perfect.  So Trey Anthony turned her talents into success by doing the exact opposite.  She took charge of her own destiny, invested in her own self, took imperfect action and turned her mess into her message! The results were amazing and it goes to show how far we can truly go when we give ourselves permission to dream big and just try.  In this episode Trey and I chat about: Trey’s story and how being typecast and rejected was the start of her success story. Why being authentic and speaking her truth is her super power. Why she repeatedly took imperfect action and invested in herself to make things happen. How she lives an intentional life and finds the courage to take action even when she’s terrified.  Her incredible grandmother becoming a rapper in her late 70s. The lowest point in her life and how that was the start of her new book, Black Girl In Love (With Herself).

If you ever feel like things around you are out of control while you feel heavy and stuck, unable to do anything about it, this episode is going to be a game changer for you! Entrepreneurship is a rollercoaster, with so many ups and downs that are out of our control - but something we do have control over are the thoughts and feelings that we choose to make ourselves available for. When we get intentional about the way we want to feel, everything changes! And the best part is that you don’t have to wait to feel the way you want to, so in this episode I chat to you about: Why getting intentional about your feelings is a huge (and underrated) key to creating success. The realisation I had in 2011 that completely changed the way I lived my life (and the success I was experiencing). 4 simple but powerful steps to help you put this into practice, get unstuck and feel ready to allow abundance and success to flow into your life.  I’m also setting you a really fun challenge in this episode, so why not grab a friend (in real life or online!), have a watch party and take this challenge together? Once you do, share your chosen feeling with us!  What are you going to focus on feeling over the next 30 days?

Before I started FEA, I used to sit there watching webinars as other entrepreneurs shared how they were building their successful businesses. Part of me used to think it was absurd and ridiculous.  I watched from the sidelines as these people achieved amazing things and created incredible success. All the while I had massive impostor syndrome around my ideas and dreams. I felt embarrassed to do anything about it. I kept playing small while watching all these other people play big.   A part of me felt so frustrated and broken because I wasn’t doing what I was supposed to be doing with my life.  And I know that so many of us feel this way… so many of us stand on the sidelines and watch others going for their dreams and making amazing things happen.  So in this episode I want to chat to you about; The massive money block that used to hold me back from creating financial success.  The shift we all need to make to create amazing success, abundance and joy. The steps I took to turn my dream of becoming a Hay House author into reality.  A visualisation exercise and powerful questions to help you get clear on how you need to uplevel to get to where you want to be.  Why not make a list of the people whose table you’d like to sit at and share it on Instagram! Make sure you tag me @iamcarriegreen and why not tag those people too!

The She Means Business show is all about helping you to have confidence in yourself, to have clarity around your vision and to help you realise that you can live an amazing life and build a successful business.  If you’re new to the Female Entrepreneur Association, this platform and community is all about showing you exactly how to do that - how to build a successful business and create the life of your dreams.  But mostly it’s about helping you to see the value that you have in yourself and that you bring to this world… The fact that you have a powerful message to share, whatever it may be.  However, even though I built the Female Entrepreneur Association, this wasn’t always the case for me.  For many years before that I struggled so much, feeling stuck and confused about what my purpose in life was.  So in this episode I want to share my whole story with you, all the way back to 2005 when my entrepreneurial journey started.

What if thinking like a millionaire and making million-dollar decisions is actually the key to creating millions? We're trained to think "realistically" our whole lives: to make sensible decisions, expect the worst and be financially conservative, even at the best of times. But what if attracting success is about more than just the nitty gritty of marketing and ROI? It all starts with mindset, and in order to draw the millionaire lifestyle to yourself you have to start thinking, "What decision would millionaire-me make?". I know that changing my thinking around my own decision-making and biases was key to moving the needle for my business and finally reaching seven figures. My amazing friend Michelle Rohr - founder of the Secret Owl Society - practices making million dollar decisions every day, and in this episode Michelle talks all about how she shifted her mindset to think like a millionaire and gives some really practical tips to help you to get there too. I hope you love this episode, which we recorded out in beautiful Palm Springs during our 2019 Inspired Vacay event! Carrie xx

As we’re about to get into 2021, I got to thinking about everything that's happened this year - in the world, in my own life at home, and in my business. This year proves that we never know what’s going to happen, we can’t foresee the future and we never know what kind of obstacles or challenges we’re going to have to face. But as Viktor Frankl says, what we do have control over is how we choose to respond. Even in the most frustrating or challenging situations, we always have the freedom to step back and choose a response that’s going to help empower us and give us the best outcome possible. And amidst all of the scary stuff, so much good has come about this year: - We finished renovation on the office and started working in there with the team, which has been amazing. - So many exciting things have happened in FEA; new opportunities have come up and we've welcomed some amazing new members to the team and the Members' Club. - And of course, Miss Marlie arrived in this world! ♥ So whatever comes in 2021, I have to remind myself to keep an eye on what I do have in life, and how much I have to be grateful for. And remember, "Everything you have in life can be taken from you except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation." Have an amazing New Year, I can't wait to see you in 2021 :) Carrie xx
