#013 Hay House Writer's Workshop - the BIG Takeaways (About Writing a Book!)

I've read a lot of books on how to change your life and I've only really made sense of something in the past two years:

There are three 'levels' of change and you can use all of them to access new levels of change in your life.

In today's episode, I'm going to run you through those three levels of change for changing your life and show you how I used them to get over depression, pay of £100,000 in debt and even walk on fire! Curve ball!

If right now you’re struggling to get the results you want, but you’re ready to make a change and take your life and business to the next level in 2024, listen in. 

In this episode, I'm going to share with you five of the most transformational and eye-opening things I’ve ever learned about changing your life, with a focus on growing an online business (because the rules are so different in online business!)

Yes, you’ll hear things that are hopeful and inspiring, but I also have to pepper this with the reality of what it actually takes to change who you are, change your life, and change the results you're  getting.

Here’s what I talk about:

• The result you’re currently getting is fair, even if you’re not happy with it
• Why we feel too busy to create content, when content IS the job
• Short-term pleasure vs. long-term satisfaction and why we go for the former 9 out of 10 times
• Building the capacity to do difficult things in your business doesn’t happen at your desk
• If you want to get different results, you have to change who you are; and there’s two versions of us that you don’t hear about often. I’ve made two other episodes about this last point:

#15 Find the Subconscious Block That’s Hiding in Plain Sight (Part 1)

#18 How to Change Your Subconscious Beliefs: 3 Surprising Keys (Part 2)

If you want to dive even deeper into these topics and receive ongoing support, I have a monthly membership program where we dive deep into how to hit your goals, how to change your behaviours and change your programming. Learn more HERE!

Being an entrepreneur is one of the craziest, stupidest, dumbest things you're going to attempt. And once you are afflicted with the purpose of being an entrepreneur and building companies, you can't help it. You cannot suppress entrepreneurship. If you've got a drive to create things, just accept that you're stuck with it.

In this episode, I want to talk about burnout and overwhelm. I'm going to run through the things I do to manage burnout and keep it at bay. At the end of the episode, I'm going to show you how to reframe your goals, and break them down using four key categories that will make it easier to understand what's required to go the distance without burning out and feeling totally overwhelmed.

And I promise you, I will not mention SMART goals ONCE!

What I’m Covering:

• My definition of burnout and the underlying causes of it
• How to assess your skill set, capacity and energy levels in relation to what you want to achieve
• A sensibly stupid goal - what’s that?
• Where to get the real feedback on the effort you’re putting in
• The order of events - how to make yourself safe before you stretch too thin
• Never forget that entrepreneurship is SELLING the stuff you’re making
• Why you must learn which activities make your brain switch off

To break through as an entrepreneur, you’ll need to put in the work of an elite athlete. But don't punish yourself on this crazy journey. There is a better way to succeed and achieve your goals, without the burnout and overwhelm.

So you want to change your life, but recognise you have subconscious beliefs or subconscious programming that is keeping you stuck in old patterns and behaviours. So what do you do and where do you begin?

In this episode, I'm breaking down the three key things you can do to reprogramme the way you think and respond to certain situations.

We also look at how we become more conscious of our behaviours and what triggers them, how to find a new response to an old situation, and how to override the memory of who you are to change your life.

This is the most challenging concept to grasp in changing your life: To change your life, you really must change who you are!

So many good-hearted entrepreneurs are afraid to post content for so many reasons. But it's holding the good ones back from being of service, and well - changing the world!

In this episode, I've really tried you inspire you on the content creation front, break down some myths about content creation and show you three key things to nail when making your own content. 

So press play to learn:

Why it's so important to build value up front, and how this directly correlates with online sales, you winner!

The truth about content creation, how long it takes, and why this investment is worthwhile! (This is take five, doh!)

The three very specific things that make up your profile as an online business owner, and how to start leveraging them today!

How to build trust, increase buyer confidence and grow your business.

How to use modern media to increase your 'range' / reach in 2024.

Remember: Your ‘profile’ is your authority in the market place. The bigger (or more relevant) your profile is, the more you can help people and the more you can sell. 

Therefore, by focusing on building your profile (and leading up front with value-based AND more personal content), you’re really focusing on preparing your business to win more wonderful clients short and long-term. Who can say no to that?

This week, I've got a big bold claim.

By the end of the episode, I'm going to have shown you how to find the one big subconscious block that is holding you back from everything you want in your life and business. And I'm telling you now it is hiding in plain sight. I'm going to show you how to spot it, and then we're going to work through how you actually resolve it. 

What I'm covering in this episode: 

• 3 things to think about if you want to make a change in your life or business

• Rewards and how to figure out what's driving you

The exercises I'm sharing with you are designed to help you find that sneaky little subconscious story you're so used to telling yourself, that you're not even registering it anymore. And when you see it, you're gonna go, I knew that, it was so obvious!

When I think about thought leadership, what comes to my mind is this: a thought leader is someone worth following.

And why is that someone worth following? Because they are full of deep insights, wisdom, experience, life lived and most of all, they have practiced sharing their message consistently over a long period of time. So practice is the word you want. You're not going to get good in your head, you get good by putting stuff out in the world, seeing how it lands, getting feedback, and building your message one person at a time.

In today's episode, I want to share with you what you can do with your thought leadership, and talk you through six key things that you can consider when developing yours.

Here’s what I cover:

1. Direction
2. Truth
3. Wisdom
4. Insights
5. Hope
6. Courage

Thought leadership is what it takes to build a scalable six-figure online business making a living doing what you love, from a place of passion and purpose when you're a good hearted entrepreneur. So if you’re ready to do some challenging thinking and develop your unique thought leadership, join me on this episode, it’s a juicy one!

This weekend, I attended the Hay House Writer's Workshop about writing and publishing a book and took enough notes to write a book!

It was phenomenal - the energy, the people, the content, the speakers. I will tell you up front: I highly recommend this event to any good-hearted person who dreams of writing and publishing their own book. 

But - the event didn't just teach you how to finish that book and get it out there in the world. It covered so much more including:

• How and why you should be building community now, and how to do that if you're reluctant.
• What you must know before writing a book, and how this will help you build your business too.
• How to put together your book proposal and what publishers really want to see.
• The importance of writing from 'spirit' and joy instead of ego, and how to make that transition.

There was such a beautiful energy at the event; an energy of 'being of service'. 

There was also a very strong message about writing with joy. You put a lot of 'life force' and energy into a book so don't make it a slog - make it joyous.

Anyway, I don't want to give it all away. Press play. I think you'll get a lot from today's episode about business, marketing and purpose, as well about about writing your book and getting published.
