Today's episode is an incredible story about a powerful woman who does not let anything get in her way. Julia Panchkowry is the Banana Warrior. She is the CEO of the Banana Warrior Cafe, which is a vegan cafe located in Bangkok, Thailand. She shares her story throughout the episode of how she started a cafe in an international country during the pandemic. She also has begun her business coaching journey and is working clients through this. She has such an incredible presence and you will love to her what she has to say.
We go deep into emotions, falling in love with business, and sharing about stories we have told ourselves. Some of these revolve around avoiding blaming outside circumstances, money mindset, authenticity, and play.
Top Topics :
"Take emotions out of it. Emotions are great to acknowledge that they are there, but also don't let them be part of your business decision making. They are not always a valid indicator of what is actually going on."
"I truly believe that everything I have done before this point was preparing me for my business."
"That's why my outfits are really important to me. It actually gives me energy. It makes me want to do business. I feel more professional. It's like power dressing. The way I feel when I wake up isn't the way I feel when I get ready to work."
"You never blamed the outside circumstances. You never blamed COVID or stress to pack it in."
"When you blame external sources it takes you away from taking responsibility. It's this type of victim mentality. Complete acceptance of the way things are. The knowledge of knowing what you can change and what you cannot."
"We all have our own thought process. Some people use a breakup as an excuse to eat a tub of ice cream. Some people use a breakup as an excuse to start a business. We all have our mindset and thoughts." Where Julia put her focus is really what is so amazing about this conversation.
"Life is just a series of choices." We are so blessed and so lucky to have the freedom of choice."
"Once you start taking radical responsibility for your life exactly where it is right now that means you can make some massive changes if you want to. If you can see what you created you can also see you can create something different too."
"We are taught how to feel about ourselves. It's just from things that were said to us or things we learned from what our parents said to us or things we learned in school. I was told I wasn't good at math. It was ingrained into my head and that makes me not want to do it now. It's still a block and you have to work really hard towards unlearning."
Something I learned from my experience in school was that I was not creative. I was not good at art or music growing up so I was worried that I was not a creative person, but I was able to unlearn those ideas and find my voice and use it to create my podcasts.
"Telling yourself something different towards that past believe. First of all is knowing that it's there and knowing it doesn't have to be."
I see so many clients and students saying, "I'm shy", "I'm scared", "I don't like doing this." These are stories that are made up.
Julia and I share multiple different ideas around money mindset. We each share some our own personal experiences and stories we've learned about money.
"Play is anything that is high vibration. Anything that makes my soul feel alive."
"Fun is almost more important than time at that time. You don't even know what time it is. You are caught up in the moment. That's magic."
"Fun doesn't have to be overindulging in anything."
