Becoming a big thinker can be a process that never ends. As you go on the journey, you’ll continue to think bigger and bigger and bigger.

The rebranding of this podcast is really just the next step in thinking big for me and my business. We kicked off the rebranding last week with a conversation detailing the process with my business coach Stacey Hylen, and it was going so well that we kept going!

In this episode of the She Thinks Big podcast, you’ll hear part two of our conversation as we share even more insights and nuggets about the big thinking that went into the rebranding. Stacey and I will touch on how life can sometimes get in the way of thinking bigger, the possibilities and ripple effects inherent in the Think Big Movement, the impact of support on your big thinking success, and more!

2:45 - How behind-the-scenes stuff can get in the way of big thinking and how personal support gives you space for it

9:50 - What’s possible in the Think Big Movement and the ripple effects it’s already causing

It started as just another e-book. Now, thanks to bigger thinking, it’s turning into a movement…and the new name for this podcast is part of it. Welcome to the first official episode of She Thinks Big!

You might be wondering why I rebranded. You probably know by now that I believe 1,000% in the power and necessity of coaching support and that every coach should have a coach, too. My business coach, Stacey Hylen, has been instrumental in helping me think bigger about many things, including aligning everything in my business into the Think Big Movement.

But thinking big is an evolutionary process. To show what it looks like, I can’t think of a better way to demonstrate (and kick off this rebrand celebration) than with a case study featuring yours truly.

In this episode of the She Thinks Big Podcast, you’ll see how a big thinking evolution can change you and your business. With Stacey alongside to help guide the conversation, we’ll share the insights gained, questions asked, and mental shifts necessary that I encountered to help you start aligning everything in your business toward what you really want, too.
2:25 - How saying no allows you to start making the shift into big thinking

8:08 - Moving past fearful what-ifs to positive what-ifs rife with possibilities and why this isn’t a solo act

15:05 - Why a coach is invaluable for big thinking and how you want to expand your capacity for sustainable success

24:02 - What people fear about thinking big and why they avoid it

28:07 - Some highlights of part one of this conversation with Stacey

Adopting new beliefs is challenging. People find it hard to believe in themselves to successfully make a change, that a specific change they want is even possible, and so on.

Yet, people do find success in believing new things, and thus, changing reality in their life or business. So how do they do it? What do they do differently than others who struggle and stay stuck?

In this episode of the soon-to-be-rebranded Time to Level Up podcast, you’ll learn the eight-step process for firmly taking on new beliefs. While eight steps might sound like a lot, you’ll discover that some just naturally build on (or are an extension of) each other, making it simple to flow from one to the next. To further illustrate how this works, I’ll also share some of my thinking as I went through this process for the rebranding of the show

2:36 - What you need to be willing to be and allow for your new belief to start taking form

4:35 - What you have to find and practice for your new belief to start taking root

6:15 - What you have to maintain and normalize for your new belief to start growing

7:35 - What you have to embrace and give for your new belief to start blossoming into reality

9:57 - Three premises to consider for adopting new beliefs successfully

According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, up to 60% of people won’t start a business due to their fear of failure. Many who do take the plunge, though, still experience this fear. It is one of the nine most common fears business owners have, after all.

In fact, a couple of weeks ago, a client said she feared failing in her latest launch. After digging a little deeper, her concern, as it turned out, was actually about a different (but connected) fear.

In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn how fear of failure is linked to fear of judgment. I’ll show you the best way to resolve this and why it’s the key element most responsible for your happiness and success as a person and entrepreneur.

1:30 - How a client expressed a common fear to inspire this episode

5:25 - The difference between successful people and happily successful people

8:55 - What impacts 85% of your happiness and 99% of your success as a business owner

In your mind, are you an employee, business owner, or CEO?

Each of these scenarios involves taking a specific approach to how you allocate your time and money for achieving the result you want. But not everyone who is a CEO has a CEO mindset. To get to that place, you have to upgrade your mindset as well as how you use your most valuable business resources.

In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll hear about the three stages you might go through as you start, build, and grow your business. I’ll discuss the different mindset approaches in each stage, which depend on how you think of yourself.

1:41 - Why you might feel like an employee, not a CEO, in your business

5:58 - The scenario where you really start to think of yourself as an entrepreneur

9:34 - What you focus on when you have the CEO mindset
