Behind the Scenes of the Mindset Masterclass with Liz Nicklas

In this episode, Alison engages in a deep conversation with her coach, Liz Nicholas, a master mindset coach with over 16 years of experience in guiding individuals through transformative mindset work. They delve into the critical intersection of mindset and business, underscoring the necessity of self-care not only for our personal lives but also for enhancing client experiences and maximizing customer value in business contexts.Liz introduces her signature program, the Mindset Masterclass (MMC), a two-part, 14-week group program renowned for its exceptional results. She explains how her educational background in secondary education and behavioral psychology informs her approach, creating a layered and inclusive learning environment that recognizes different learning styles, personalities, and emotional needs. Throughout their discussion, they emphasize the significance of understanding the underlying science of how our brains operate—specifically, how they are wired for survival and the biological processes that influence our thought patterns and behaviors.A key focus of their conversation is Liz’s no-nonsense approach to mindset, which contrasts sharply with the often-simplistic advice found on social media. She highlights the dangers of pop psychology that suggests people should merely "think positive" without addressing the complex realities of human emotions. Instead, her method emphasizes critical thinking, emotional self-regulation, and the importance of being the "boss" of one's own brain, leading to actual transformative results rather than fleeting feelings of happiness.Their conversation addresses common misconceptions that lead individuals to struggle with mindset work and why many give up on their personal development journeys. Liz discusses the power of data-driven insights and how they can help individuals break free from negative thought patterns, illustrating her points with relatable analogies about the mental weight we carry and the profound impact of adopting a curious, compassionate perspective towards our own thoughts and feelings.HIGHLIGHTS:21:36 Tools for Mindset Mastery31:24 Understanding Mindset Struggles35:21 Encouragement for the Hesitant ListenerCONNECT WITH LIZ:WebsiteHer PodcastThe Mindset Mastery School on FacebookSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK2024PODCAST WEBSITE & LINKS:Check out the ULTIMATE PODCASTSGet Your Mini Retreat Playbook HEREEMAIL MEVISIT MY WebsiteFIND ME on FacebookFOLLOW ME on TwitterFOLLOW ME on InstagramEXPLORE OUR RETREATS HERE!INNOVATE & GROW for Business and Coaching LeadersINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care RevolutionJOIN OUR COMMUNITY - Living Your Ultimate Life Through Fitness & Self-CareANDROID USERS leave a REVIEW on PODCHASERAPPLE USERS leave a REVIEW on APPLE PODCASTS

Growing vs Scaling a Business with Jeanne Omlor

In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Jeanne Omlor, a business strategist and coach who shares her inspiring journey from struggle to success in the world of coaching. Our conversation dives into the challenges faced when building and scaling a business, especially from a unique perspective—doing so without relying on paid advertising. Jeanne opens up about her initial struggles, revealing how, just five years ago, she found herself in substantial debt as a solo parent, grappling with the daunting task of transitioning to an online presence in a market that didn’t readily appreciate her coaching services.As we discuss how Jeanne overcame these obstacles, she shares the transformative moment when she landed her first high-ticket client just eight weeks after launching her online efforts—an achievement that propelled her toward generating a million-dollar coaching business in just 17 months. She unpacks the process behind this success, distancing herself from the often-glamorized notion of using ads to secure clients. Instead, Jeanne reveals that by focusing on authentic organic marketing strategies, she built relationships and engaged with potential clients meaningfully, urging listeners to recognize the power in direct conversations.Jeanne also provides valuable insights into the distinctions between growing and scaling a business. She defines growing as establishing a sustainable foundation that provides a lifestyle that aligns with one's dreams. Scaling, conversely, involves leveraging existing resources to increase business freedom. This nuanced understanding enables listeners to grasp the importance of solidifying growth before attempting to scale. Moreover, Jeanne shares that fear—particularly the fear of rejection—hinders many aspiring coaches and professionals from recognizing their potential and pursuing their business goals. She believes that detaching from the outcome of a single interaction can cultivate resilience and clarity in their entrepreneurial journey.HIGHLIGHTS:2:36 The Journey from Debt to Online Success7:01 Cracking the Code for High Ticket Clients11:37 The Importance of Authenticity in Business15:05 Embracing Technology in Business24:21 The Mindset of Business Owners28:42 Growing vs. Scaling a Business32:36 Personalized Coaching Strategies35:37 Building a Supportive CommunityCONNECT WITH JEANNE:WebsiteLinkedinInstagramYouTubeFacebookSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK2024PODCAST WEBSITE & LINKS:Check out the ULTIMATE PODCASTSGet Your Mini Retreat Playbook HEREEMAIL MEVISIT MY WebsiteFIND ME on FacebookFOLLOW ME on TwitterFOLLOW ME on InstagramEXPLORE OUR RETREATS HERE!INNOVATE & GROW for Business and Coaching LeadersINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care RevolutionJOIN OUR COMMUNITY - Living Your Ultimate Life Through Fitness & Self-CareANDROID USERS leave a REVIEW on PODCHASERAPPLE USERS leave a REVIEW on APPLE PODCASTS
