SHOW NOTES

Good Note: Being a life sensei, everything that she was able to work through, let go of & release in life has enabled generations going forward. Whether that was through her own family or helping clients break childhood trauma & break harmful family cycles. It is able to stop creating your future from your past.

Bad Note: Any failure is looking at the situation and realizing what opportunity is being given to learn. Nancy’s coaching business was a side hustle while she worked her full time corporate job. When she was going through her divorce she felt like there was nothing else to lose so she made the transition to work on her coaching business full time without a plan. Everything slowly started to happen with the manifestation of making it work.

Practice makes Progress: Everyday reassuring yourself with your vision. Your story is your vision. Reminding yourself of what you’ve done and where you’re going. When you’re truly empowered and know you are here for a reason, are debating on if you can do it or are you stepping into it.
(Example in the podcast)

Jam Room: Having an “I love me wall” as a reminder of your successes and what you do to practice self love, anything that raises you vibrational energy. You must be able to look around and change your environment mentally and light your fire.

Getting Fans: Whatever is causing you to doubt yourself, you must be able to step into the best vision of yourself. If you can say it and believe it, the way you come off to others is more relatable when they can feel it.

“ At the end of the day people won’t remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel “ – Maya Angelou

THE STORY

As the founder of Mastering Your Beliefs, Nancy’s clients usually refer to her as their “Sensei” a title from her days as a student, competitor and teacher in the Martial Arts.

Martial Arts taught Nancy that her strongest weapon is not her physical strength, it’s her inner strength.

During her journey to do whatever it was going to take to free her mind from the unresolved experiences of her childhood, she lost everything. Once she learned to let go of the past, she became unstoppable.

Nancy has experienced the joys of marriage, motherhood, being a home owner, becoming a grandmother, a great grandmother and the fulfillment of being an entrepreneur.

She’s also known the gut wrenching experiences of miscarriage, divorce, physical pain, trauma, childhood abuse that escalated to sexual abuse by the age of 12 and limiting beliefs about who she is and what she’s capable of.

Nancy loves working with entrepreneurs to teach them how to heal their inner child; so they can free themselves from their own unresolved childhood experiences. Mastering Your Beliefs is the way to stop allowing the negative experiences of your past to affect your future, thus enabling you to abandon your lack beliefs in favor of abundance – something every entrepreneur deserves to understand if they are going to take their business beyond their vision and discover the infinite possibilities they’re capable of!

SHOW NOTES

Good Note: Being a social psychologist and leadership strategist, once COVID hit the world many companies started reaching out in regards to what they could do. She was successfully at helping companies shift their entire business from working in a store to working remotely.

Bad Note: At the beginning of lockdowns Kinga lost 70% of her contracts due to panic. It was the first time in her 17 years of remotely working where things dropped that much. Her over head was low and having savings helped in pushing forward.

Jam Room: Having a room for yourself will make the difference. Even if you don’t have a room, designate a corner or space. This area is for work and will help your brain distinguish what the task at hand is in that spot. You carry the work for your business at all times, use different areas to your advantage.

Band: 3 full-time employee and 2 consultants to help grow the business. Building relationships in real life and by having recommendations with LinkedIn profiles helped to find the right people. The people that will learn your work flow. With modern technology it makes it much simpler to hire locally and/or from around world.

Instruments: Simpler the better. Zoom calls to be able to engage 1 on 1 with a client or employee. Spreadsheets to navigate what needs to be done. Canva being easier to use than Photoshop.

SHOW NOTES

Good Note: Prior to Covid-19 Vaneeta had started her own company specializing in higher education media in India. After Covid-19 started causing lockdowns she quickly pivoted to online webinars for students and professors from all over the world on planning their futures. Then to publish an E-Magazine and podcasts with knowledge from corporate guru’s for the students to have insight before they get to the work force. Example: isolating noise when working from home.

 

Bad Note: Not taking a deep dive into the industry before launching. Preparing better by calculating cost and expenses would have made a difference in the business. Hire a consultant to go over a marketing budget.

Jam Room: Having a multi-purpose room for other members of the family to use. A light set-up and customizable backdrop for zoom, a quiet corner to study with table and couch.

Bandmates: All the bandmates had the same focus in providing higher education for students wether that was looking for the right people or the right people finding you from existing content. Bringing in management and HR leaders made that possible. Use your communication skills to the fullest extent while showing your sincerity and intent.

Instruments: Use hope as your tool. Focus on the task at hand and through the process you will learn what you need. You don’t need to delegate each task to someone, if you have an idea of the outcome, you can make it happen. Education is seamless.

SHOW NOTES

Good Note: Quitting her attorney job to work in the arts. Getting a call from one of her friends with nothing but compliments that then linked her with a celebrity that opened huge doors for her. Even when you think no-one is watching, people are watching. The validation will come with the results.

Bad Note: With the art industry being a Muti-billion dollar market, it is very small in terms of how everyone knows everyone. You need to protect your relationships. Stay within the rules of the community wether they are unspoken or not. The more you push yourself into a certain business the more mistakes will happen.

Practice makes Progress: Never get complacent with anything, learn as much as you can. Every industry will continuously go through changes to always better the situation. Do your due diligence with any step that you take. Get informed.

Getting Fans: Early adoption and original ideas. She noticed that art advisors didn’t have social media branding and jumped at the opportunity. Concentrate in what you have by not over stretching yourself. You get fans by doing & sharing.

THE STORY

A Harvard graduate, originally from Venezuela, her first monograph “Out There” published by Pointed Leaf Press in 2013, was the recipient of the Best Book Awards in both the Art and Design Categories.
