Rank & File Podcast Kari Elizabeth Enge

Do any of these things ever happen to you?



>>> You want to feel clear and confident about your pricing, messaging and strategies… but you still question these things a lot.



>>> New products, niches or entirely new business ideas pop into your head in the shower…



>>> You don't have enough time to implement your sales and marketing ideas, but if you are honest… you say yes to all sorts of other things for your kids, friends, neighbors on the fly.



Friends… These are classic examples of BRAIN DRAMA.



Brain drama is a survival mechanism of your brain to keep you from doing new things, getting out of your comfort zone and reaching the next level of success. Because same = safe to your brain.



Brain Drama is super annoying… because it's so sneaky and powerful. The symptoms are hard to spot.



Brain Drama can literally have you derailed for 6 months, headed in a dead-end direction. But to your knowledge, you're working hard, checking things off, and moving forward…



Don't let Brain Drama derail you any longer. You've got to know what it is, how to spot it, and how to manage it so you can be a strategic founder and CEO.



Listen in to learn all about Brain Drama. Then, join me at the upcoming Masterclass where I’m diving even deeper into Brain Drama and sharing a tool - called The Self Coaching Model to overcome it.

Feeling inspired? Feeling excited? Feeling confident?

What is being Half-Baked in Business? Being Half-Baked is literally what it sounds like – not being complete, whole. You are half-in, half-out. It means you are not going all-in as the founder and CEO.



Most entrepreneurs are Half-Baked in atleast one area of their businesses, without even realizing it. They have insecurities, confusion, a lack of clarity. And this causes them to shy away from something.



If you are struggling to reach financial sustainability in your social impact, purpose-driven business, I’m sure that you have several areas where you are Half-Baked.



In today’s episode, I talk about the symptoms of being half-baked (financial sustainability is only one of them). And I share what beliefs cause you to hold back instead of being all-in mentally and emotionally and really going for it in your business.



I also introduce the Belief Triad – a mindset tool that will help you build stronger beliefs as the CEO in your business so that you can feel more ready and confident as you go out there to grow your business.



And don’t worry. Going “all-in” doesn’t mean pressuring yourself, burning out, or taking on business strategies that don’t match your personality or values. It also doesn’t mean growing your business at a pace that’s not right for you.



At Rank & File Coaching, you can always be confident that you’ll find business advice that is designed to bring you the social impact, income and personal life/wellbeing that you desire.



Join me today, and let me help you really go for it in your business.



In this Episode, You’ll Learn:

> What Half-Baked in Business Means

> How to know if you are “Half-baked” in your business

> What beliefs cause you to hold back instead of being all-in and really going for it

> The Belief Triad – what it is and how to use it

Are you trying to reach your vision of growing a financially-sustainable, purpose-driven business but feel like you are struggling to figure it out with the time and resources you have available?



Exploring the past of the Patriarchal Society can actually help you get there as a woman today.



Successful entrepreneurs think differently than average people. These mindsets and ‘ways of being’ are what we need to extract and apply to our own ventures. We don’t need to DO business like white-haired, corporate men (as modern women, we really can make the rules!) but we need to adopt ways of thinking that help us break out of the boxes we have historically been kept in.



This episode explains how the Patriarchy has created limiting beliefs that keep people small in business. I’ll help you bust through the typical victim story that many people tend to get trapped by and show you the two key mindsets that successful people hold that are available to everyone.



When you see what is possible for you and realize that the limitations are just in your mind, you can accomplish so much more good and impact in the world.



In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

- How the Patriarchy has affected entrepreneurship

- How to properly use the past of the Patriarchy to tell a story of possibility and not of victimhood

- The 2 key mindsets that make people successful that are actually available to everyone

- How to be braver and go bigger in your business with the current time and resources you have

Did you know that there is a process of entrepreneurship with specific steps? Following these steps will create a financially successful, impactful business faster (with much less stress along the way).



I disagree with many of the traditional ways that the process of entrepreneurship is taught. I think these classic “cycles” like the Lean Startup Methodology, miss some of the most important elements, including HOW actually to approach and think about each step.



And let’s be honest - fear, doubt, confusion, complexity, indecision, stress, and burnout - are all things entrepreneurs encounter along the way.



This episode teaches you my improved entrepreneurial cycle, which makes the startup and scaling phase of business MUCH easier for purpose-driven entrepreneurs.



What’s the difference between my cycle and other entrepreneurial processes like the Lean Startup Methodology? Find out in this episode. Then, apply my steps and see how much more smoothly your business runs as a result.



In this episode, you’ll learn:

> Why the Lean Startup Methodology doesn’t work

> What process to follow instead so that you reach your goals

> The 4 steps of the Entrepreneurial Cycle

>What skillsets you need to follow the Entrepreneurial Cycle

> How to turn overwhelm and frustration into calm, grounded and focused
