The Power of Self-Awareness and Intention in Entrepreneurship w/ Katie Shea

I started just attracting a lot of people into my world that thought like me. I had my focus so hard on growing and getting in rooms of people that thought bigger than me Like that was one of my big focuses when I first got started. The longer that you sit in those emotions, the longer it controls you and so you're in control of the outcomes of your life. I'm a really big believer in taking intentional action, meaning that you're not attached to your goals, but you're moving towards it with intention, every single day.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Walk to Wealth podcast. If you're tuning in on YouTube or any of the podcast directories, make sure to do yourself one teeny, tiny little favor. Make sure to give us a follow, because I don't want you to miss out on any of the amazing people I'm bringing on this year. Without further ado, let's get right into this one, katie. For anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to get to know you yet, to get to meet you, tell us your elevator pitch. Who are you and what do you do?

Yeah, no, I'm so happy to be here with you all. I started off as a sales trainer, but I transitioned to helping aspiring coaches build and launch their own coaching program. That is what I do right now and it's been just been amazing. I absolutely love it.

That's exciting, katie. Take us back to the time machine. I was very fortunate here to story, so, for anyone that doesn't know, I met Katie at 8-upEcon, which is my friend Brandon McDorris's conference, but I'd hopped on the podcast a couple of times already. Katie was one of the speakers there and I got to meet her. I got to hear a little bit about your story, but for the audience we're asking not to meet you yet. Take us back in a time machine. What was the life growing up? How did that play into who you are today? What was the life?

Yeah, so growing up. So I'm gonna take you back to 10-year-old Katie Shea. I was like the new kid in school and we're coming at Fitch that was the thing back then wearing ever coming and Fitch shirts. You had to have the mousse and everything and fit into the popular kids right. So I was a new kid in school and I was just trying to fit in with everybody. And I remember sitting in math class, which was the class that I just could not figure out. We all have those subjects that we just could not figure out, and math was that subject for me. And my teacher came up to me after the class and he said that he had called my mom, and so he had a conversation with my mom and they decided that I had a learning disability and so they wanted to run all these different tests on me and all these different things because I was just not moving forward in that class. And so the next thing, you know, I put into the small classroom, shoved into the back of the hallway where nobody wanted to be, and I was sitting there. The fellow would go off and I'd be the first person in the hallway Because I didn't want to be found out that I was that little girl with a learning disability, and so, fast forward to today and in my business today, I didn't know that that little girl was still running the show in the back of me, the little girl with a learning disability that didn't deserve to be in big classrooms and didn't deserve success in her life, because she's always told that that's where I was meant to be. And so that little girl continued to run the show in my life for years, years, years, until I became aware of it. And so I teach this one thing and, john I talked about this at the conference was the worst thing that you could do is ignore somebody. Yet we ignore ourselves our whole entire life without even realizing it. And so if you want new things to happen in your life, if you want to make new changes, well, you got to become aware of what's even there first.

Yeah, 100%. And I feel like one of the things in some way, shape or form, who most the entrepreneurs that have spoken to and most people in this space have been mislabeled or mis-catavized or shoved into boxes that they weren't supposed to be in or driving, because people, the majority of people, just don't understand what we go through as entrepreneurs and it's one of those things. It's like as a kid. It shows entrepreneurial qualities, like people who are ADHD or ADD. A lot of these business like in mobiles have some type of learning disability or some type of disability and it's like as a kid. It shows up and at least you feel like they're. You know they're out of the cage, they're out of one out because you're in a little classroom and stuff like that. But it's like in the business world. A lot of those traits that made you different actually helped me thrive and flourish in this world. From what I found just from talking to some of the people, it makes me think about. You mentioned too that a lot of the times we're ignoring ourselves. I realize from talking to some of the people it's like there's three, I guess, main buckets of people, where three or four I guess you could say there's, bucket one is the people who were kind of like born as entrepreneurs, right, and they're kind of born like this and they had the traits for it, and then they were also fostered up in a home where it's like that was actually praised, it's like they kind of just stuck with it all their lives, right. Then I think, like with the majority of entrepreneurs, are kind of in the same buckets. I learned is that we were born entrepreneurs, right, but then we lose it along the way for some reason, shape or form whatever maybe your parents might be them putting you in the little classroom, whatever it may be and then we pick it back up later on tonight. And then there's people who are born entrepreneurs and then they lose it somewhere along the way and then they never, ever pick it back up. And as kids I feel like we're all lent the lists. We have no bounds. We have this crazy imagination and then majority of us lose it. Only a small percentage of us actually ever find it or get the keep it for the rest of their lives, and it's just like you were able to find it. What was the thing for me? It was rich, that or that, that kind of brought me back or what, for you, was the thing that kind of it brought you back into this world, brought you back into using the little kid and you unlocking the inner kid and instead of hiding it in this only yet.

Such a good question and I love that question because it was a journey for me to find that out. I came from the roofing sales roofing sales where I started out and I hated it because I wanted to be an elementary school teacher. I always wanted to be an elementary school teacher and that didn't happen because I couldn't get into the school and so I had to figure out something else and so I ended up in roofing sales and I sucked at it for so long. I would drive up to these roofing companies just to look at them because I was terrified of this thing called rejection and I would drive away right and I kept on getting rejected. But then that's where I found Grant Cardone. But the cool thing about what you're to answer your question is how did I unlock this inner child? I became really good at sales that year. I went from failing at it to closing over a million dollars in, honestly, just a couple months because I immersed myself into the world of sales and got uncomfortable right. But what the key thing was to unlocking that inner child was when I started sales training people. I noticed that I really got drawn to helping people unlock like their belief systems, and helping people believe in themselves more than anybody else. Right, and like going into the psychology of things and I was like why the heck am I getting so drawn to this? And so I had to do a lot of the work on myself and that came from my coach. My mentor, richard Dorn, who worked with Tony Robbins for a really, really long time, got trained by him. So that's when my whole journey into the psychology of myself and my inner child really started to get unlocked and I realized I was in attached to sales. I was attached to getting that little girl to get uncomfortable and prevent a lot of else wrong.

One of the hardest things about working on yourself is not actually working on yourself, but preparing yourself to let them yourself. Preparing yourself to lift the rug, to move the curtain, to see what's been hiding all along. So what do you do leading up to before you actually start working on yourself? Like, how do you get into the right headspace? Because if you're not in the right state of mind and this is not like therapy or anything at all, I don't mean by that but you know the right state of mind I just mean, like when you were getting ready to start, you know working on yourself or getting ready with your working with your coach what did you do leading up to that? Like, what were the steps that you got to that so that when your coach did come into your life, you were ready to receive that information and be receptive and not push it away? Because a lot of times the defense that we build up to protect us in our earlier years ends up being the fence that cages us in from growth in our later years. It's like, what did you do leading up to working with your coach so that you could be in the state of mind to even be receptive of other stuff to start working on yourself.

So it kind of goes back to when I was in grouping sales and when I was driving up to these companies and I had like no mindset to say, you know, I could make a million dollars and I could do this, and I could do that. Like I had none of that because I didn't come from it. So I came from a single mom that worked so hard and my dad owns his own business. So there was like a lot of those belief systems that were still instilled inside me that I didn't realize. But the one thing that altered it was when I started listening to people that thought bigger than me, and that was Grant Cardone at the time and I was immersing myself in the conversation of just being surrounded by him, right Like I would be on Cardone University and I would connect to people that were thinking higher than me. And all of a sudden I started shifting and from like this girl, I was like, oh my gosh, I could make, you know, $30,000 and I'm so happy to. Oh my gosh, I can make millions of dollars. How the heck do I do that? You know, it was like a total mindset shift, but that was because I was getting in rooms of people that thought bigger than me and that were playing bigger than me, and so that was like the start of my journey and that kind of snowballed from there.

One of the people I interviewed said you want to play good again. You got to get a good tea A lot of the time, that you can work on yourself, of course, and that'll take you up to so far, but you got to get the people around you to be good as well. You want to play a good game. You got to get those stars around you, your headers around you, like I would say, that are doing bigger than you and more than you, because it makes you realize that we could actually be doing a lot more. But let me add to then, because that could also lead you down a very dangerous road. It's like, all right, it's never enough, because there's always someone doing more than me, there's always another goalpost. It's like how did you balance off? Like talking to these people and being inspired, but also not be yourself up because you're not doing enough. It's a weird gray area to navigate. So how do you navigate?

Yeah, so that is something that I struggled with for a very long time, because I was in the game of you must be doing X or else you're a failure, right? And the reality is that business and life it's a role coaster. You almost have to learn how to embrace every part of the journey, and so for me it was more recently than in the past, but I had to figure out how to detach from what that success was, if that makes sense. So if I had a goal of making X amount, I had to be inspired by it but not be attached to it, because once you're attached to it, then you almost tie your identity into it. And once you tie your identity into it and you don't do it, then you're going to go really far down and you're going to feel disappointed. You're going to feel like the sense of failure and all those different things. So I'm a really big believer in taking intentional action, meaning that you're not attached to your goals, but you're moving towards it with intention every single day, right? But that was something that I struggled with for a very long time, like a really, really long time, it's just I had to learn how to navigate its perspective.

Yeah, no, that's actually a really good point. And having intention-based goals set up like action or like merit-based goals because intention is for the most part, on that matter, for example, like sales it could be helpful or it could be manipulation. The only thing that would be much separate to do is your intention. It's like if you want to do hard for somebody, then it's deception and manipulation, but if you're genuinely trying to help somebody else, it's like we're actually doing them a favor by helping them by whatever the product of the service is. And intention is something that doesn't only get talked about a month, so let's dive deeper into it. It's like how does one start really setting intention-based goals? Because it's something that's like you always hear smart goals. We hear you have to have a definite thing and you have to track it and reverse engineer, how do you get there and stuff, and like how do you set intention-based goals so that we can kind of shift our perspective on how you view success?

Yeah, and intention-based goals is something that because, again, I came from the Grant Card own world, so it was always like set your target, do this, do that. Yeah, it's great, it's one of those things that you need and it really does progress you forward, because when you have something that is like a target and a number and you know that, all the steps to get there, it's a definite thing that you need. And so I kept on finding myself hitting this wall of, how you said, like always putting myself down for not doing it. And so I came to this thing called intention-based goals, which is something more of the lines of having a goal. Again, I've been not being attached to it, but how you set those goals is. I'm a very big believer in visualization, because I love the psychology and the neuroscience behind everything. So I'm a really big believer in visualization and I'll show you Okay, I have a truck that I rode out to me about a week ago for a goal that I set. That excites the heck out of me, but I put the truck on my desk every single day, so my intention is to get that money, to go out there and figure out how to make that money, but my attachment to it is not. It's just not existent. And so I set out things like, hey, what do I need to do? How can I get really resourceful and creative to go out there and make this money? But it's not saying, okay, like I need to do, like X and Y, this, I do this because it's just this. It doesn't. I don't. I'm not in a flow state at that point, I'm just like like a hamster wheel just rolling and getting things done. So I don't know if that answered your question. I know I kind of went off on that, but I like to do a lot of visualization and then Understanding. You know what are the steps that I need to do in order to get there and break it up. You know, like that, that's how I do. My intention base goals. No, no, that's how everyone does, that's how I do it.

That's genius. He found something I worked for you and you remind me of. There's this one law that's called the law of detachment and I think it's like what we say like Dallas or Some eastern and those eastern philosophy people that it got all the genius stuff. I swear that's one of those eastern from philosophy teaching them pretty much what it is. It's pretty much detaching yourself from the, whatever the outcome is, and the people who have the most are the people who needed the less, like all the people who are the wealthiest don't need money or somehow money still keeps on, kind of them All the people in high school that have. You know all the girls that powder the guys. Most of times I think you can share less but they still get all the attention Using. It's all the people that the people that need it less will always get it more than the people who actually Want it needed, which is such a strange way of life, but that's just kind of life. And, yeah, when you realize that the more you can detach yourself, especially in sales as well, as you were in sales if you can attach yourself in the out from the sales, is that you might have so much more than the average of power or the rubberizers out into whether they decide to or decide not to Refund. And it's also partially like thinking abundantly as well, because, like when you're don't need it, you're operating out of abundance because you have all that you need and so if you have all that you need and it's all perspective, it's like, well then, whatever the outcome is, doesn't really matter to you, so you can just focus on showing up and being present instead of worrying about something that hasn't yet happened yet. And there's another law this one I still haven't really come to terms with grasp with yet, because I guess it's a little too complicated for me, but it's follow the law of non-action Action right. My friend actually said this to me on IG. It was a and pretty much with the law of non-action is to not take any action that's out of the natural appearance With. These are how things are going just like at First glance is like you want me to not take action, like no, take tons of action, just don't take any action. That's out of line and but it's like it's kind of hard. I'm still trying to figure out how to graph that one. But I love the fact that you mentioned intention based goals and visualization because like what I'm not still just like it's so much more. I guess Practically the most people I feel like not everyone's hardwires for numbers and and deadlines of standards and when you set the intention based goals you give yourself grace and you rely yourself to enjoy a journey a bit more than if you were to not hit your numbers. So I kind of want to ask you a bit on this topic. It's just like those times that you didn't hit your numbers, how did you keep yourself moving forward and not just abandon shape and not put yourself in a slump, right, how do you keep on growing, despite not hitting the goal that you were British to set out or the intentions you might have a virgin set out though Well you're, what you focus on is where you're gonna get right.

So if you constantly focus on like things of I'm broke, like you have a goal, let's just say that you have a goal to get X amount of you know sales to come in, like whatever that goal is right, or to lose X amount of weight or whatever it is as you constantly say. Like things like I'm sober, wait. We constantly say things like I'm so broke or you know, like if there's no clients out there, and all those different things like you're gonna attract those same things into your world. And so the power of focus is something that, when I get back into a slump, I'm like hold up what, what am I thinking right now, what are the thoughts then thinking and what are the words then saying these, those are gonna be the actions that I'm taking and like in every single day of my life. I'm taking it and like in every single day of my life, and so I'm constantly going back to auditing what I'm thinking and what I was saying so that I could go out there, and it attracts things more intentionally. And so that goes back into intentional action, right, because you're constantly becoming a leader within yourself first, rather than depending on the outside world to give you results. You have to give yourself results and then go out there and make something happen. And so I'm a constant person of focusing on my internal state of what I'm thinking, what I'm feeling, what I'm doing, so that I could go out there and get the external results and match up to that.

Yeah, and that's actually genius. So let me ask you guys I know it's like tons of months and years and they're making up. You're doing the roofing and I'm doing the crank card on stuff and so and then you're working with your coach. So, once you started working on yourself, what was it like in the beginning stages, once that you started actually working on it, once you started doing the work, once you started making changes there's a lot of changes what was it like navigating the world? How was the world changing in front of you? I'll share a quick story for you, mr. For me, I still remember the first time I started learning about a particular active system, at least like seeing it in my own day to day life. I think I might have shared this during the podcast, but I don't remember and this is a quick story. It's pretty much I invested in Tesla, right, and that was my first ever investment in the stock of my own personal money. I had like a couple of free Robinhead stocks and like I invested in Tesla back in 2020 one and this is the name of the four one stocks that and I can not meeting up to it. I'd never seen any Tesla in my neighbor. It was like a rare occurrence for me to see the Tesla and as soon as I bought my stocks there's like one in my neighborhood. There was like one every street. I turn this like my brain just started realizing everything in front of me. It's like my whole world started to like you change. I was like this is actually kind of creepy. I didn't do anything different besides for my money to test it. And now everywhere I looked like this Tesla said it's like for you. What was it like with your world when you actually started working on yourself and started doing some improvements on you know, your internal state? What was it like in the world around you?

Yeah, so kind of like kind of, like you said, like the particular activities, to some rate. Like when you focus on something, you start seeing it everywhere. Like if you're going to focus on the color blue, oh my gosh, you're going to start seeing blue everywhere. And so I started just attracting a lot of people into my world that thought like me, right, like I started getting coaches, new opportunities because I started putting my focus on that, for example, but with the coach that I just told you about, richard Dolan he, I have my focus so hard on growing and getting in rooms of people that thought bigger than me. Like that was one of my big focuses when I first got started and I got a room with him and he took me on his wing and that's when he trained me. But it was things like that that started happening. Like I started getting in rooms of people that like were bigger people, that were thinking bigger people that were doing bigger and sort of leveling me up, right. So that particular activating system, man, oh my gosh, that thing, that thing is key yeah.

It's one of those things, just like most people don't understand how it works and like once you realize that for me, the way I like to describe it's like a heat seeking missile, and most of the time the target that you set is set by your subconscious. A lot of times you're chasing this thing that you don't even know you're chasing. So you start looking within and say, oh, I got to put this at something else. It doesn't know good from bad, it just knows find the target. So, whether your target is good or bad, it's just going to go chase after it and everything that you see around it is like going to be pretty much whatever that target is. So if you don't have a good target, you're going to be seeing a lot of pet stuff because you pray, you can't tell the difference between it to it. And so let me ask you now you've worked on yourself a ton and you're speaking everywhere now like you have a lot of success. So it's like what's it like now? Do you arrive chinked, like it chinks, planks, chinks, and armored? That's the word right Chink, or your gaps? I guess gaps in armor. There, you go when where you know some that you just slip up wasn't like on those days when it's like you know you kind of like relapse and go back to the negatives.

they can understand and think and ask people to say yeah, I don't stay there anymore that long because in here's why the longer that you sit in those emotions, the longer it controls you, and so you're in control of the outcomes of your life. And so I've had to do so much work on myself to the point where you know, past KDJ if something happened to me where, like a gap or I fell down, I would have been like going out to my boyfriend like, oh my gosh, what the heck is going on, it's in my fault, like all these different things, right. But now, when things happen, I look at it in a perspective of, oh my gosh, this is really cool. What can I learn from this? What can I learn from this and what can I take away from this? That is going to empower me Like I'm a really big believer and everything happens for a reason, even like the worst thing sometimes in the world, because there's always something that you could take from it and stack onto it. So I embrace those gaps now I kind of. I kind of love the gaps because it has me growing more and learning as a leader.

Yeah, as I understand well, one of the guys I interviewed said like there's a half of the darkest to us happens as we are, and it's so. Everyone says like life happens for you, which is another good one as well, but the life happens as. There are things like well, you have to kind of now backtrack. Okay, we're led up to this. Why? Because you know, jack O'Willink, the Navy Seal guy, talks about extreme accountability and extreme ownership. It's almost kind of like that. Essentially, it's like if you don't have accountability, then you're giving up your power to some laws. And if you give up your power to some laws like whether it's your emotions, whether it's some you know, a bad friend or your boss, whatever it may be it's like kind of getting this run. It's like you lost control of the ship and then you have to show, go, fight to get it back. And if you realize that you don't give them the ship to steer in the first place, that you're actually gonna be a lot better off. And that doesn't mean the boat doesn't get bumpy. There's still gonna be bumps in the road or bumps in the ocean, right, and it's like you have to make sure that, despite all of them, your ship never gets hijacked by someone else and you get back into the in your zone, into your goods today, get back into your module, whatever it may be, or give yourself some grace to let those emotions go through and they get right back on ours, right? So I want to ask you too, along this topic. So, when it comes to mindset now, you were, of course, helped yourself. You've helped a ton of people with it what do you see as like the most calming that stays in the comes? Like entrepreneurship and people in mindset? Like the people have to overcome that they don't expect. Like what are the cause everyone talks about? Like, oh, the many beliefs and stuff. What are they like the sleeper picks of? Like negative mindsets that no one really realizes or talks about but are usually having some play with in people's lives.

Yeah, you know, it's the one that I've noticed, like for myself and within my clients, that it kinds of goes into like the limiting beliefs and everything. But it's a little bit more specific. If you want to become an entrepreneur, you have your relationship that you have with money and vital, and that's something that I've had to learn right. Like I was really good at sales, I was really good at the stuff, but then I didn't feel like I deserved to make more money and I didn't know that. I had no idea. I was like what the heck is going on? What's wrong with me, like in my okay, like that little growth of learning disability now is coming up right, like all those different things. And so I had to like shift my focus on to okay, well, what's my relationship with attracting more money into my life? Because money is a tool and if you have that money, you could use it to make more of an impact. But my brain and like unconsciously, I didn't even realize that that was even controlling me. I think for a lot of entrepreneurs, that's a really big thing.

Yeah, it's one of the things for me. I was just sharing this. I was on that virtual summit and I was literally telling the lady that was in and in me I had to read her on my podcast and I was telling her, like, for me, I remember when I taught, I did my second social media class and it was a free class and during the class and the Q&A section I from inside John. I don't ever do another money as a game without charging, but it was never my intention to turn my classes into a thing that I was charging. So I just felt so cringy and weird with myself. It's like I didn't feel okay receiving money, despite me putting tons of my own, having a hard working effort and time and energy into the things in preptic warrior you wasn't asleep about it and despite that, I didn't feel worthy of getting anything from me in return, and so it's like it was something that I didn't even realize was a thing. And then I get set it off like all right, then I did a work on all right, then I charged like 27 bucks for it and then I did a workshop that was like 200 bucks and then I launched a soft launch track course at 500 bucks. That was like a big milestone. I was like, oh, people paying me 500 bucks, just oh, shoot, okay, I got something going and of course that I'm launching. Now I'm living in the middle of launching it, as we're having this interview I'm charging a thousand bucks for the course and but how do you actually back last year? It's like, but I would be okay with taking money. It's like not me, and that you know. This is, you know, something that I was against. Almost I had a coach telling me to actually charge and I was pretty much fighting her on that idea because it didn't feel right and it's something that I didn't even know was into play until money was off. And then, when money was off, I didn't realize that, oh, I actually don't feel worthy of accepting any of this and so I had to work on myself and it's like, wow, it took about that process. It took like almost from when I taught my first class and now it's been like 18 months or so and just like to move that I've been able to work on myself. And now it's like, slowly but surely, now it's like I can confidently say I charge at least a thousand bucks and then I'll have a high ticket product and I'll charge even more money and I'll be able to compensate behind that. But I kind of worked on it and yeah, it's like for me. I wanted to ask you how did you kind of get over your limit? You believe around money and then not something that's that bad. What was the stuff that led up to you overcome that?

Yeah, I mean, when I first started my coaching business, I was charging so low I would do like it was group coaching, but it was really one-on-one coaching because I provide social value. I just wanted to help everybody. I was like $200 a month per person and I had so many clients that my energy and I was just like getting so drained. So my business is going up, but my level of relationship with myself is going down, and so I was like what the heck is going on, right? And I had to figure that out. I'm like why can't, why do I feel so bad charging? Wait, like more than $200 a month, right? Coaching, like I'm jumping at one-on-one calls and spending hours with these people. What is what the heck is going on? So that didn't hit me, though it wasn't at that time where it really hit me. What hit me was the time when I realized that, well, I quit my job yeah, I did quit my job in as well as ways where you know, I made tons of money and then I quit my job. It wasn't like that. I quit my job and thought my business was gonna skyrocket and it did not, right? And I was sitting there like, oh my gosh, my bank account started to go negative, like what the heck is going on. And so I knew at that point, because I did so much work on myself I was like, hold up. It has to be like what am I thinking right now? Like what am I thinking? What are the words that I'm saying? And I had to start relating that to money. And so if there's any area in your life that you feel like you're almost disconnected from, it's like you have to immerse into it. And so I started immersing myself into almost like how I do with sales, right, and immersing myself into the world of reading tons of money books, understanding things, understanding, like my own beliefs the systems are all money, how I thought about it. And like all those different things like how I checked my bank account, right, because I was terrified to check my bank account all the time, and so I had to like start creating a habit where I was just checking it every single day. And like almost treating money as opposed to like you know my boyfriend, or like something that I loved dearly you know what I mean Like just treating it with love. And that's when things changed around, that's when I started attracting things to me, like I was like oh my gosh, how did this land in my account? Oh my gosh, I got a new client over here because my relationship with money was just shifted and the like I had a love for it, right that wasn't scared of anything more. Whatever you're scared of, you're like that's gonna be frustrating.

That's amazing. So, katie, you dropped a lot of amazing nuggets and kind of brought the story full circle. We talked about being the kid who, you know, was put in a room where you didn't want to be seen, right, and so you worked your way through that. And then you kind of worked your way until working on yourself, and then you worked your way through working on yourself and now you had a point where you're flourishing, you're thriving, and you continue to work on yourself. Despite that right, you're always we're always in a state of like, evolving, of growth, and always working on ourselves, because, at the end of the day, we are our biggest investment, we are our biggest asset, and if we lose ourselves, we lose everything. And so what we find you? I know you work with tons of entrepreneurs. What if we get more of Katie Shade so that we can continue learning your role, what you have going on and all the new projects that you have that can come?

in. Yeah, the best way to just get in touch with me is my Instagram. I always like I love giving my Instagram number one, because I think it's a platform where you could provide a lot of value on and you can connect with me personally. So my Instagram handle is katie underscore today.

All right, and now it's time for our famous five questions. Lely and every single icon, I mean you. Question number one what is the most impactful lesson that you've done tonight?

What is the most impactful lesson I've learned in life? We can't ever be touched on this, but to change perspective and finding power and the bad things that happened to us. I think that has been one of the most powerful and just strongest things that I've learned in life, because when we stay, like when we stay in the stuff, in the bad things, everything around us is just that right, and so I've had to learn how to shift perspective and finding meaning in some of the worst things in the world, but it gives my control back, my power back right. So that has been one of the biggest lessons, that one, especially this entrepreneur.

What is the most admirable trait you're present to have?

Empathy. I think having empathy and understanding others is one of the most powerful things that a human being can have, because if you can just sit back and listen and understand another point of view, that right there is powerful right. I mean I don't know. I'll give you a quick story, really quick. When I first started my like growing on Instagram, because I knew that if I wanted to reach more people, I had to get out there on Instagram and I had to create content, and so I started creating reels every single day, I put myself up to like this like 30 day real story. He did it. It was the worst thing ever. I hated it. It was awful. I posted it and I'd be like, oh my gosh, please, no, let me delete it. But I kept it there and so my, my modeling started growing and like, my reels started like going up after a while because I was so consistent on it and I got the meanest comments on this one Instagram reel that I posted and for a minute it hurt. I'm not gonna lie, it hurt me. You know I was like, oh my gosh, this person's so mean. But what I did instead was I changed the perspective and I put empathy onto it and every single person that wrote a mean comment on my post. I sent them a selfie video and I just pretty much told them I'm here. I'm here if you need me, and 90% of those people came back with you know, just wanting help was a cry for help. So it's just perspective and things.

And then we're gonna do a lightning round for the last three question, and number three is if you have to change someone's life with one book, which book would you recommend?

I would say I think of Rich.

What is the legacy that you're trying to leave behind?

Legacy that I'm trying to leave behind is I'm trying to grow more coaches, more intentional coaches, to take their unique genius to leave an impact on the world. So I wanna impact millions of coaches so they can go out and impact millions and billions of lives.

And for anyone that wants to embark on their walk, to walk today, what is the first step you recommend they take?

The first step that I would recommend you take is just taking note of the self-talk and the actions that you're taking every single day, because you can't step on things Like you can't say I want this, but then live consistently with the person that you've been Right. You need to become a person that you've never been, but first starts with the words and the language that you're using every single day. So, 24 hour self-talk challenge and just seeing what am I thinking, what am I saying right now, and then go on and make those excellent moves in your life.
