Seven Figure Consultant with Jessica Fearnley Jessica Fearnley | LinkedInTopVoices 2019 Entrepreneurship & Small Business

In this week’s bite-size bonus episode, Seven Figure Secrets, I’m talking about the discomfort that can come with success.
We often find failure much easier to sit with than success! And that’s why we need more support coping with business when it all starts to work, compared to when it all feels like it’s going wrong.
In this episode, we’ll cover how to cope when it all starts to work, overcoming self sabotage, and embracing your Next Level Self.
Quotes: 
“Sometimes we get so used to the feeling of failure that it becomes a security blanket. We know where we are with failure, and even though this is dysfunctional, we can feel more comfortable with the familiarity of feeling not enough that we would almost choose it over joy, happiness and success.”
“It’s ok to have a bit of an identity crisis as you experience personal growth and business growth. Who you are is changing, and that means saying goodbye to your old self, that version of you who couldn’t be with success. It’s ok to feel some grief about this too. But as you say goodbye to your old self, you are also becoming your Next Level Self. We never have to let go without also taking hold of what is next.”

In this week’s bite-size bonus episode, Seven Figure Secrets, I’m talking about the topic of failure tolerance in business and how we can shift our perspective and response to failure. 
Instead of viewing it as something negative, we can learn to recognise its significance in our personal and professional growth. Embracing failure can actually pave the way for greatness in the long run and build your resilience on the road to seven-figure success.
Quotes: 
"What do we gain from playing the game of catastrophe? And what would change if we could adjust our failure tolerance so that it doesn't feel like every time we face setbacks or experience failure, we are emotionally already in the place of losing everything?"
"When we can change our response to failure, and learn to embrace it and know that actually, we are always far more secure than we think we are, it means we are free to take chances in business and tolerate risk without falling apart."

In this week’s bite-size bonus episode, Seven Figure Secrets, I'm talking about the importance of acting on your intuition and aligning your ideas with a broader purpose. When you have a clear vision of where you want to go, it becomes easier to make decisions that will lead you there.
Remember, it's not just about dreaming big, but also taking immediate actions that align with your goals. Small steps can lead to big results, so don't underestimate the power of consistent effort.
 
Quotes: 
“Stop, listen, and connect to your deeper purpose. It's okay if you haven't worked it out yet or understood what it means, but I'm willing to bet that you have had those little sparks of inspiration.”
“Your intuition will tell you what it is. And here's the nudge from your Seven Figure Self. When you get that nudge about doing something, don't jump down a rabbit hole or talk yourself out of it. Take the action. Do the thing. Your intuition is a gift. It is meant to be used. Say the thing. Ask the thing. Commit and do. That, my friends, is the way to grow a business. Find your aligned action and take the action.”

In this week’s episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I’m talking about the unique challenges that women entrepreneurs face, including limiting beliefs and how they can hinder your business growth and keep you stuck in the low six figures.
I also talk about the benefits of having a supportive team, as well as the importance of seeking help and mentorship, sharing exciting details about my high-level group container for aspiring seven figure women consultants.
 
In this episode: 
[00:01:12] The appeal and familiarity of struggle in business and the concept of "let it be easy."
[00:02:07] Differences between men and women in starting and growing businesses.
[00:04:01] Reasons for women escaping to entrepreneurship.
[00:07:55] Exploring the limiting belief of not wanting to hire a team in business and how it can hold you back.
[00:08:50] The rigid thinking around past experiences and assuming that a bad past experience will always repeat itself in the future.
[00:12:18] The value of being part of a business community, networking, and receiving support from others.
[00:17:14] Bonus Segment: Seven Figure Secrets - Advice from your future seven-figure self on acting on your intuition and not ignoring inner prompts or ideas.
 
Key Takeaways: 
Struggle in business is often seen as a rite of passage, a necessary step towards success. But it's important to remember that struggle doesn't define us. It's merely a part of the journey, not the destination. The independent nature of women entrepreneurs is both a strength and a challenge. On one hand, it fosters resilience and self-reliance. On the other, it can lead to being overlooked, judged, and criticized, and result in reluctance to seek help and mentorship. Being a solopreneur can feel safe and independent, but it can also limit business growth. Many solopreneurs get stuck in the low six figures and struggle to progress further.  
Quotes: 
“It's always this thing [with limiting beliefs] where it's like ‘give up now, don't even try, you can't have the thing that you want’. It makes sense why as women we fall into this trap from time to time, but great entrepreneurs, seven-figure consultants, get used to doubting our doubts and applying some flexibility to those brittle limiting beliefs.”
“The vast majority of solopreneurs don't get to seven figures. They get stuck in the low six figures, and they don't progress any further because it is hard to do business by yourself.”
“Surrounding yourself with the right people is a massively underratd way to explode your business overnight. One of the first strategies that I give to new clients is to go and have conversations. Because when you do this with the right strategic people, business growth happens fast.”

In this week’s bite-size bonus episode, Seven Figure Secrets, I'm talking about remodeling your business for growth beyond six figures.
Instead of constantly chasing after more clients and hiring more team members, it's important to focus on remodeling your business for sustainable growth, because what got you to six figures won’t get you to seven figures. This means leveraging your time effectively and honing in on your strengths. 
This is exactly what I help women consultants uncover in my VIP Strategy Intensives. If you're ready to collaborate with me and unlock the secrets to seven figure success, I encourage you to reach out and secure your spot! Let's work together to transform your business and achieve the growth you've been dreaming of.

Quotes: 
“Your seven figure self wants you to know that holding on to how you have been doing things up until now is not going to serve you.”
“Hard work is addictive, and it's also often the thing that got us where we are not just in business, but in our education and career. Work hard, get the top grades, rinse and repeat until you've taken over the world. But the thing is, if you're at the low six figures, you need to undergo a business remodel in order to get further.”

In this week’s episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with team building and systems strategist, Kris Ward.
Kris shared her valuable insights on her ‘Win the Hour, Win the Day’ philosophy, which focuses on achieving a healthy work-life balance and implementing efficient systems for entrepreneurs.
We discussed some common mistakes that entrepreneurs often make, the concept of ambitions versus survival, tips on effective team management and the importance of fostering leadership within your team. We also talked about the benefits of ‘daily scrums’ and how they can greatly enhance productivity. 
Tune in to find out more and discover how you can reclaim your time and boost your team’s productivity and efficiency!
 
In this episode: 
[00:00:37] The philosophy of Win the Hour Win the Day and how it helps entrepreneurs reclaim their time and create a business that supports their life.
[00:06:35] The power of systems and processes to reclaim time, leverage efficiency, delegate effectively, and create clarity and space in one's business.
[00:08:06] Being mindful and intentional in our actions instead of rushing through tasks without considering their impact.
[00:09:21] The balance between ambitions and survival mode.
[00:12:40] Allowing team members to evolve and align their goals with the business vision.
[00:15:57] The benefits of having a team that manages you and how it can be a dream come true.
[00:16:42] The importance of leadership in your team.
[00:20:02] Understanding the daily scrum and its benefits.
[00:24:07] Shifting the team's management to the team itself.
[00:25:02] The significance of having reliable systems and processes in place to improve productivity and eliminate blame.
 
Key Takeaways:
By implementing efficient systems, empowering team members, and redefining traditional hierarchical structures, we can reclaim our time (up to 25 hours a week!), achieve our goals, and create a business that supports our life instead of consuming it. Even if we have ambitious goals, we should still be able to achieve them in a tight and effective manner. Kris suggests following the "win formula" of spending 60% of our time on creative work and 40% on administrative tasks. It’s important to build leadership within the team, regardless of the size of that team. By empowering team members with leadership responsibilities, they become more engaged and motivated to stay with the business long-term.  
Quotes: 
“Business should be fun or we could have just stayed at that job. So let's have more fun.” - Kris Ward
“There's this belief that we can have the big business, we can get to seven figures, but that means we have to give more. And I often do a lot of work with women around dismantling this core belief, ‘I have to work harder in order to make more money.’” - Jessica Fearnley
“I mean, one of the biggest compliments I got throughout my life is, ‘oh, she's a hard worker’. And I remember saying to my mother one day, ‘oh my gosh, who knew I'd have to learn not to work so hard?’” - Kris Ward
“So [with daily scrums] it's really about moving projects super fast, efficiently, with no wastage. And it's not something that gets slipped through the cracks. … People really love the scrum meetings and how we've built them out more. They take about 15 minutes. They create leaders, they create projects that get done.” - Kris Ward
