We are still in a global pandemic, protests are going on around the world and it also happens to be the middle of summer right now. This can lead all of us to feel like we are all in a place where maybe your priority isn’t fully on our work.  September is around the corner, which is often a time of new energy and beginnings. Like clockwork, it’s a time where for a lot of us, our guilt creeps in for not having done “enough” during the summer. It’s what I like to call a season of contraction. If we remember that expansion always follows our times of contraction, then we can be kinder to ourselves through the phases of feeling as if we’re not doing enough. We are humans, not machines, and that means we cycle through seasons and rhythms. Summer is often a season where we feel like doing less, and that is perfectly okay.  We all go through different cycles and the better you can befriend and understand yours, the easier it is to support yourself.  When we feel like we’re in a contraction, when we feel like we haven’t been doing enough and start to panic about it we can react (vs respond) to this feeling with anxiety. We all have survival mechanisms and even though they are there to protect us, they often do us more harm than good. When we understand that this feeling of contraction is a part of life, it allows us to respond to our anxiety with more gentleness and a knowing that if we support ourselves, the anxiety will diminish and we’ll actually have new found energy that follows.  If you want to listen to a previous episode on Survival Mechanisms and Essence, click here.   On this week’s episode, I cover: Why logic doesn’t apply when you hit anxiety Understanding your survival mechanism Why it’s important to build your support team Learning to understand your cycles of motivation    Remember that you’re doing better than you think.

Changing The Story with Lana Dingwall

#123: For anyone feeling overwhelmed or anxious in their business, this is for you

“If you’re feeling stuck, you’re being called to do something different. To change your point of view. Creativity happens when we put together two things that don’t belong. When we do the unexpected”. I want to talk about business structure today. I’ve gotten trapped time and time again trying to build my purposeful business by approaching it from traditional business structures. Often, we try to build our ethical empire using someone else’s strategy. When we look at business structure, it’s often built around capitalistic values of scalability, profitability, and how we can make the most money even if it kills us. When we look at structure, we need to create a container and structure that makes sense for who we are, what we’re trying to build and the kind of impact we want to have.  Not everything has to be super scalable. Many clients think: if they can’t scale an idea, they won’t even start it. If they can’t quadruple their income, then it’s not a good business idea. This type of thinking can be a trap. Innovation often comes from trying to make the world a better place in some way. If we only thought in terms of profit, many of the things we have today wouldn’t exist.  What if you approached your business from an artistic perspective? From the way you create your offers to how you sell your services.  We need to have structure in our business in order to have it thrive and make money. However there is also a lot of space to view our work through an artistic lens, where we also value creativity, exploration, creation and the space to envision something grand.  Remember, creativity happens when we put together two things that don’t seemingly belong. When we do the unexpected, magic happens. What if that magic you create, is exactly the missing ingredient in having your business become everything you’ve ever dreamed it could be and more?    On this episode, I cover: How to build a fluid and creative business structure Looking back at the birthplace of your business Examples of how you might lose yourself in hardcore and ridgid business structures How to harmonize business tactics with creativity   Remember that you’re doing better than you think.

#122: A new kind of business strategy

When we try to conform, we end up losing the best parts of who we are. If we give ourselves permission to be weird, to be different, to be eccentric in whatever ways feel good for us, we'll find our authentic self. So much of figuring out who you are, has to do with forgetting who you feel you’ve needed to be in order to ‘fit in’.  Working with, talking about, and believing in energy can be considered ‘woo’ but in this community I like to think we know that there is so much possibility out there, why not believe in and utilize energy?  Energy work is like software. It’s intangible and always present. You can create software from an idea, and build it online, without needing to go to the store and buying physical supplies to do so. Energy is the same. You can imagine and create things.  With energy work, you are not chasing a goal or label. You are purely remembering all that you’re capable of, and uncovering and strengthening your superpowers. Jeffrey Allan, a world renowned energy worker and healer (maybe you’ve seen his classes on Mindvalley, that's where I was first introduced to him) helps you tune into your superpowers. We think “other people” can do magical things, but for some reason... not us. Over here, we are on a mission to empower the everyday person to do great things. For people who don’t think “they” have intuitions and powers: Work from your own experience. You have to try things for yourself to know if they’re right for you. Different people have different reactions. You have to get your own experiences, try them out for yourself, practice them more, and then it starts being real. You’re more empowered and tuned in to your gifts the more you consciously try to play and interact with them.  All the information we need is already inside of us. We need to turn off our thinking mind and let the thoughts flow without pressure.  What is the unique way that YOU can help people? What makes you ‘weird’ (aka cool) and unique?   On this episode, Jeffrey Allen and I dive into: The paradox of taking advice from teachers Tapping into your natural energy sources Leveraging your happy memories to boost your energy Business marketing as a filter, not a funnel   Remember that you’re doing better than you think. Together we’ve got this.  I believe in you.   Jeffrey Allen is a popular Mindvalley teacher and speaker, an intuitive and energy healer. Through live seminars and online energy training, Jeffrey has taught thousands of people to harness the power of their own energy & awareness – to improve their relationships, deepen their spiritual connection, and increase their personal presence, happiness, and impact in the world.   Jeffrey's mission is to make energy work & higher awareness available to everyone – so we can each unburden ourselves from needless conflict & pain, and embrace happy, fulfilled lives of true passion, purpose & meaning.   In his newest project, Jeffrey is teaming up with his amazingly intuitive wife Hisami, to create a modern blueprint for spiritual growth and true Spirit Mind Living. Together, they are bridging the gap between east and west, and helping people around the world awaken to their true spiritual potential.   Find out more about Jeffrey at www.IAMJeffreyAllen.com ?

#121: Learning how to work with energy and intuition in your business with Jeffrey Allen

The self help / personal development industry is huge right now. Especially in the entrepreneurial world (*cough* I am in it *cough*). This industry can be either problematic or beautiful. It just depends on which lens you are using to look at your growth and development. One lens is that you are a problem to be fixed, and the other is that you are inherently good just as you are, but are holding space to be better. It can be problematic when the narratives we create do more harm than good. When we’re told that we are a problem that needs to be fixed, we end up focusing on what we feel makes us broken, incomplete, undeserving, and unworthy. We forget that we are human beings, not machines, which means we are never broken. We don’t need to be fixed, nor can we ever achieve ‘perfection’ when we are all so beautifully different and complex. We weren’t ‘built’ to be perfect and that’s where self help can sometimes be problematic: when it treats us as if we are broken and that if we were just tinkered with enough, we might become perfect one day. When we approach our development from the perspective that we’re broken, we lose the space to hold compassion and gratitude for ourselves.  It can also be beautiful when we use the lens that we are inherently good just as we are, and simply holding space to be better. Self compassion is the ultimate business strategy (and strategy for life too)! If whatever you’re doing is infused with self compassion then you are more likely to accomplish your goals. Compassion leads you to believe that you can strive to be better than you already are while still fully embracing who you are now. It gives you space to honour your strengths and areas for growth. It allows you to embrace the idea that you are good enough, right now, without having to change a single thing. Using the lens that we are inherently good as we are actually gives us more energy, whereas when we see ourselves as a problem to be fixed, we waste a lot of energy beating ourselves up. The kind of energy that exists with the idea that you are inherently good is empowering, compassionate, and encouraging. When you are a problem to be fixed, the energy is judging, negative, self aggressive, and can even be punishing. Ask yourself: How much time and energy are you wasting on fighting who you are? How can you accept yourself as you are, while still holding space to be better?   On this episode, I cover: Why I don’t work 8 hour days How trying to fix yourself drains your creative energy My evolution from judging myself to celebrating myself   Remember that you’re doing better than you think. Remember that you’re not a problem to be fixed.  Remember that you’re inherently good, beautiful, and capable as you are RIGHT NOW.    Together we’ve got this.  I believe in you.   ?

#120: You are not a problem to be fixed....

“If you don’t bring forth what is within you, it will destroy you” People are afraid to go inward and discover their genius, because they won’t know what they will do with it. Our zone of genius is such a big part of us, which is why it feels so scary and intimate to release it out to the world. But many of us end up doing only 10% of what we love doing, and the rest is work that drains us.  What if you could tailor your work to do 90% of what you love? Imagine the amount of energy that would radiate off of you and onto those around you, if you were able to spend the majority of your time doing work that truly makes you come alive and lights you up? This isn’t just some distant dream or naive thought, this is genuinely possible for you and others.  We spend so much of our bandwidth trying to avoid being vulnerable, it ironically becomes the very thing that makes us vulnerable. We desire financial freedom, but give up our freedom to make money. We want to create a name for ourselves so that we are important, but often give up who we genuinely are in the process.  Moving into your zone of genius (or spiral, because it’s never ending) is about so much more than doing work that makes you come alive. It’s about actually creating the life you have worked so hard for, with more ease and enjoyment. Being in your zone of genius also means the work you do is much more impactful and ripples out into the world in profoundly powerful ways. Bring forth the power that is within you, and let all of us bask in the beauty of your radiating power and light.    If you find yourself getting trapped in the responsibility and idea of, “How can I do what makes me come alive when I have bills and family to take care of”, then you better listen to this week’s episode to learn how to step out of that space of scarcity and fear, and recognize you can do what makes you come alive AND take care of all your responsibilities.  What makes you come alive creates a lot of energy. That heightened energy is what attracts more energy. This is the energy that now attracts more opportunities, resources, money, time and other beautiful things. Different work feels different. When something drains you, you will not attract the same energy in the way that you do when you’re fired up. Once you lock in what you love to do, it has a self generating energy. But when you’re just doing things because you’re good at them, it doesn’t fuel you in the same way.   On this episode, we cover: What the Upper Limit problem is and why so many of us face it (aka. self-sabotage) Doing work that makes you come alive (and how to get there) Why being good at something can be a trap that keeps us small Zone of Excellence vs Zone of Genius  Why luck is like the wind, and how you can catch it to help you build your dreams   And here is Gay Hendrick’s latest book: Conscious Luck: Eight Secrets to Intentionally Change Your Fortune   We also talk about his New York Times Best Selling book: The Big Leap, which I highly recommend for everyone to read.    Remember that you’re doing better than you think.  Together we’ve got this.  I believe in you and go do work that makes you come alive!  ?

#119: Taking the Big Leap and the beauty that comes with it - with Gay Hendricks

How do you explain what it is that you do, when you feel parts of your work and the transformation you offer people are almost unexplainable?  Marketing is simply a form of communication. When trying to explain an experience, we need to think outside of just website copy, email copy, and social media copy. This alone won't open their eyes to the experience of what it’s truly like working with you, or using your product.  We’ve all heard the saying ‘it doesn’t matter what you say, it just matters how you make them feel’, well that applies to marketing too.  How can you make people feel what it’s like to work with you, when you know that words won’t do it justice? The best way to market your product or service: experience-based marketing. There are certain aspects of your way of doing business that can’t be explained. It’s a lived experience. Something that can only be understood to the full depth of it’s awesomeness through interaction.  You can do this, without them having to work with you or buy your product.  Marketing is a powerful tool, that at its core (to me at least) is actually about giving people a taste of that experience.  Pull people into your orbit (aka lead generation), and while they circle your planet (aka marketing), you build trust and are able to pull them onto your planet as a client. How can you show them your magic to pull them in? That’s where experiential marketing comes in. On this episode, I cover experiential strategies that I use on my business: Why marketing using strategies like podcasting is so important How to create an experience that has massive impact (and helps attract clients) Running workshops for high-end service businesses How to get started with online videos   Remember that you’re doing better than you think.  Together we’ve got this.  I believe in you.   ?

#118: Experiential Based Marketing is a Gamechanger, and How To Bring It Into Your Business

When you hear the phrase ‘work ethic’, what do you think?  For many reasons, Jason and I both strongly dislike it. Here's why.  When we take things too seriously, we lower our creativity.  When we try to control things (*cough* unhealthy obsession with productivity *cough*) we kill creativity and spontaneity.  Work ethic insinuates that there is some type of moral compass associated with working.  You’re either right (work hard and grind) or you’re wrong (lazy). If you have a good work ethic you’re a good person, a valuable person, someone of merit, but that type of thinking is problematic and it traps us.  Why are we putting so much pressure on work?  What about joy? Play? Rest? Relaxation?  We need to loosen the tight grip on everything we think we’re ‘supposed to be doing’ and let work be fun. What’s the point of everything you’re doing if we can’t have joy? How do you give up work ethic? How can we shift our reality? My guest this week is Jason Goldberg. As an ‘activator of joy’, his online business plan is to leave everybody he meets with 5% more joy than when they met him, and I can honestly say after recording this episode with him, HE IS REALLY GOOD AT DOING THAT.  Your business is a vehicle for much more than just making money. Give yourself the space and the play. You deserve it.    On this episode, I cover: Why you should give up “work ethic” Difference between ego and intuition Jason’s “Prison Break Question” to ask yourself when you’re spiraling in doubt Why immunity from fear is not the goal of transformation   Also here is Jason's EPIC book if you end up like me and want to learn more from here. Here is the FREE Link to Jason’s audio and paperback.   Remember that you’re doing better than you think.  Together we’ve got this.  I believe in you x1000000000000000000.  ?

#117: Breaking Free of The Prisons We've Built and Cultivating Joy Along The Way with Jason Goldberg

Racism as it relates to business can be an intimidating subject to dive into.  Historically we’ve heard “It’s too political”. However I want to challenge that perspective.  Addressing racism, or any type of power and privilege dynamic (homophobia, sexism, ableism, poverty, etc), is actually about human rights, not politics. Speaking on these issues is simply you standing up and using your voice and influence for something you believe in.  Don’t confuse standing up for human rights as being ‘too political’.  Not only is this a wrong way to approach your business, it also leads to you diminishing your voice in other ways. When we feel certain topics are taboo or not appropriate for business, what we do is fall in line with this status quo notion that there is a ‘right’ and a ‘wrong’.  The goal though, should be to bring your full self into your business. That includes causes and issues that are important to you.  I know there is this large fear around being called out. However, be open to the idea that you are going to make a mistake and therefore you will be corrected, and from there you can learn and pivot. Just like you’re open to knowing you’re going to make other business mistakes as well.  Being scared of what people will think of you when you share your message is actually the thing that’s problematic. We need to give up this idea of perfectionism. Be bold and brave.  Just like everything we talk about here around business, expect to make mistakes and have compassion for yourself when you do.  If you wait to get it right, you will be waiting forever. What are you passionate about? What are you eager to advocate for? Your voice has meaning and power, use it to help create the world you desire.   On this episode, I cover: The most important part of your business How to find the freedom you are chasing Why success is an inside job   Remember that you’re doing better than you think.  Together we’ve got this.  I believe in you.   ?

#116: Power, Privilege, Racism and Business

Have you ever had the inner dual of wanting to pursue a big, beautiful and bold dream, while also holding onto the fear, doubt and insecurity that wants to hold you back from believing you have what it takes to achieve it?  Of course you have, because you’re human. My dreams and my fears LOVE battling it out inside my mind. The reality is fear is always going to accompany building something of importance. What we need to do is learn how to enhance the power of our dreams, so that we are able to move past our fears.  A strategy to do this is realizing that when the excitement of a future outcome outweighs the immediate feelings of fear, we are able to take courageous action in the direction of our dreams.  For some of us though, leaning into the possibility of that excitement can be hard. Part of that comes from the fact that we don’t actually let ourselves feel into the richness of what living out our dreams could entail.  It is important for us to get excited about and inspired by our own ideas. If we don’t do that, who's going to?  That first step of feeling excitement and using that energy to take a courageous step is important because, as we get moving, the courage flows easier and faster to us. All of a sudden we can handle the fears, setbacks, and failures with more confidence and grace.  As much as we always want to have certainty, it’s important to get in the mindset that certainty is a fallacy. Nothing is certain and as we’ve talked about before, what if the bravest thing we can do is actually be taking full committed action towards our dreams, without any guarantees they will work out.  Remember that being an ‘entrepreneur’ is not the end goal, it isn’t a destination that you arrive at. Entrepreneurship is just a way of life - it’s the vessel through which we choose to pursue our mission, our hopes, and dreams.  I was so excited to record this week’s episode with the former CEO of Mindvalley, and co-Founder of Evercoach, Ajit Nawalkha. This guy is a POWERHOUSE coach and has been a source of inspiration for me for many years.  Ajit Nawalkha (former CEO of Mindvalley and co-founder of Evercoach) builds businesses. After failing a startup, struggling through failed partnerships, and going from the ranks of an intern to a co-founder, he found business is lot more about emotional, spiritual, physical and mental resilience--and not as much about strategy. His passion is to help make world a better place. He insists entrepreneurs are going to do that. His endeavor is to empower you so you can be the change world needs. I am looking forward to sharing this episode with you, as I know I walked away with a TON of great takeaways.    On this episode, we cover:  Why our brains are wired to find the easiest path and copy others How to trust yourself when everyone else is against your idea How to be fully aligned with your business The cost of bad advice   Remember that you’re doing better than you think.  Together we’ve got this.  I believe in you. ?

#115: How To Take Courageous Steps in Your Business with Ajit Nawalkha

In a world with social media, we can get caught in a cycle of competition with our peers. Thinking that other people are copying us. That they’re offering the same products as us. That they’re encroaching on our lane. This prevents collaboration from happening. Needing to be the best. Fear of someone coming into our market. These are all scarcity feelings. The flare up of our emotions is not something to indulge in and act on. Call out your feelings, see if they’re rooted in competition and scarcity, and then see if you can lean into feelings of collaboration and abundance. Recently, while recording an episode with Gay Hendricks (the author of the Big Leap - stay tuned for his episode) he said the number one killer of creativity is control. When we’re focusing on what other people are doing, we’re creating a container that’s controlled, instead of creating a container that can nourish our ideas and ourselves.  As entrepreneurs, the backbone of our business is creating something out of nothing.  If we’re worried about what other people are doing, and that they’re competing with us and us them, all of those things are going to flare up the controlling part of us. When we think power is limited to those at the top, we will try to control ourselves to play the game the way we think we have to play it. This control will kill creativity. When we look at creation from a collaborative mindset, we’re so much richer for it. Nothing is created in a silo. The best things in our lives have been influenced by others. Whether we’re crippled by fear or driven to create something copy-cat, neither option is going to be helpful. Let’s all try to create more collaboration and community in our lives vs comparison and competition.  Creativity is where we come alive, it’s what fuels us and our businesses. It’s going to look different for all of us, and that is why we need community and collaboration; we all bring something unique to the table.  Remember, what if bravery is giving something your absolute all without any guarantee that it will work out? Don’t give into the fear of comparison and competition.  It’s a conscious choice to lean into collaboration over competition. But the more you do it, the easier it becomes.   On this episode, I cover: Why control is the enemy of creativity How to lean into collaboration over competition Why bravery helps you create less boring content   Remember that you’re doing better than you think.  Together we’ve got this.  I believe in you. ?

#114: Community and Cooperation vs Competition and Comparison

Mindset is a fundamental aspect of success and living a fulfilling, joyous life. But, like all good things, too much of it might do more harm than good.  Not all limiting beliefs are meant to be dispelled. They exist because we are human, and they are simply a part of us. If you are brave enough to pursue your wildest dreams, you will be faced with a bag of insecurities.  Every day I face my own bag of insecurities, so don’t worry you’re not alone in that.  We tend to want to eliminate all of our limiting beliefs, but sometimes it’s enough to simply embrace them. Wanting them to be gone can actually cause us to fall into a shame cycle when we become frustrated at ourselves for still having them. We will have moments where we feel we’ve overcome a limiting belief. We don’t experience it anymore. And then we move towards new goals and those feelings will hit us all over again, just in a different way. It’s hard enough to be feeling resistance, fear, and insecurities, but now you’re also spiraling in shame for having this limiting belief that you thought you got rid of come back.  This is a trap we get into when we want to banish our biggest limiting beliefs.  Instead, what if we embrace the idea that we will have to face them when we do something worthwhile, and our comfort comes from knowing we have the tools to move forward anyway.  Compassion is one of the best strategies you can use to grow your business.  Why? Because all the time you spend shaming yourself, you can use it towards actually growing your business. Limiting beliefs are a routine checkpoint that you will go through many times while on the journey of accomplishing your dreams. Surrender to it being a part of your journey, as opposed to resisting and judging yourself for not eliminating every single limiting belief forever. On this episode, I cover: How working on your mindset ‘while on the sidelines instead of getting into the game’ can be a trap How judging ourselves for feeling a limiting belief can can make it worse  Why we give up when we feel resistance from our mind/thoughts How to become truly unstoppable and have real confidence - even when we still have limiting beliefs    Remember that you’re doing better than you think.  Together we’ve got this.  I believe in you.   ?

#113: When Working on Your 'Mindset' is Actually Holding You Back

Q: How do people harness or fail to harness their emotional intelligence in making business-related decisions? We’ve seen people build businesses in alignment with themselves vs. people who have built businesses based on what they think success looks like. We feel that there can be a crossroad of needing to make money for bills vs. doing what lights us up. This kind of thinking in and of itself is a trap. There doesn’t have to be “one or the other”, although sometimes society likes to trick us into believing that’s true.  We are told that there is only One Path that will lead us to success, money, and fame.  Many of us will sell our souls to follow what “works” because we crave the assumed security that comes with success. We think following this path will give us a sturdy foundation and we’ll never have to worry about money, which will lead us to a happy, safe, and secure life.  This is not about not making money… this is about us thinking that having a certain amount of money will eliminate all of our worries and problems and therefore it’s the priority. It’s about knowing that no amount of money will ever truly make us feel whole.  Money can only offer us so much, so we need to prioritize HOW we are making money. If we are making it in a way that lights us up, we are more able to feel whole.  Susan Piver talks about how our society values three things and that while these three things are valuable, they aren’t going to guarantee our safety, security and happiness. Those three things are: Excellent commerce/business Profound ideas Skillful leadership This is our dogma in the entrepreneurial world, that those three things above all other things are to be valued. It’s a pedestal that we’ve created and ultimately all want to get on because then we will be safe from struggle. If we achieve those three things, we are safe.  With covid, we are seeing a lot of wealthy, successful people who are struggling mentally and emotionally and lots of people are lacking empathy for them because of the fallacy that having money guarantees happiness.  Going back to your choice of which path to take, if the path towards endless amounts of money (at the expense of our fulfillment) won’t fix all of our problems, then why is it so high on our pedestal? When choosing the so-called guaranteed business model, understand that there is actually no guarantee by taking that path. So if you’re assuming risk, why not lean into the path that fuels us and makes us come alive. We need more people who are empowered and radiating joy. Not more people who are doing things to pay their bills. You can have both: alignment and money. Lean into that. If you aren’t sure how to do that, hit reply and let’s chat. I happen to be really good at helping people do both, and I want that for you too.  Real courage is giving our business everything you’ve got despite any guarantee of achieving a certain outcome.

If you want it to be one of success, one of creating a better world, one of inspiration and influence, one of making lots of money, one of having time for friends and family, one of serving others, and one that you are genuinely proud of, then this podcast is for you. This show is a platform designed to help change the story about women in business and entrepreneurship. Change the story told about us, to us and most importantly change the story we tell ourselves. This show will inspire, motivate and empower women, myself included, it will also share strategies and tools, so that we all rise together and change the story of women in business and entrepreneurship. Thank you for joining me on this journey.
