Welcome to the abundant coach Lauren Newton. Here your host, your guide. I’m the Director of Coach certification here at Brave Thinking Institute, and we love helping you build your coaching business in a way that feels really good to you. So whether you are a health coach, fitness coach, business coach, life coach, rethinking institute coach, already certified, or any other kind of coach on the planet, this is for you.
00;00;52;26 – 00;01;10;02
Lauren Brollier Newton
So today’s episode Unlocking persistence mode how to stay motivated while growing your coaching business. This came from our private Facebook group. We have a Facebook group with all of our certified coaches who’ve ever been certified that have a Facebook and that want to connect. And I asked, what episodes do you want me to talk about on the podcast?
00;01;10;02 – 00;01;26;06
Lauren Brollier Newton
And this one came up a lot. How do I stay motivated while I’m Gregg my coaching business? How do I get out of this feeling of dissatisfaction if something doesn’t go well, how do I get rid of this feeling of isolation? How do I stay motivated and grow the business that I’m dreaming of growing? Such a good question.
00;01;26;06 – 00;01;50;19
Lauren Brollier Newton
I have so many stories for you today. So let’s dive right in. Your quote for today, if you’re going, this is this is Lauren Newton, but this is my own quote. If you’re going to make up a story, at least make it a good one. And here’s what I mean by that. Part of the reason that it’s hard to stay motivated is that the stories that we’re telling ourselves are not stories that help us produce the result that we want to produce.
00;01;50;21 – 00;02;08;07
Lauren Brollier Newton
So if you’re telling yourself the story of this is hard and this is isolating, and I don’t think it was going to take this long and I wish it were easier. And this, of course, is going to suck. So if you’re going to make up stories about this is hard or nobody cares about me or nobody likes me or whatever the story is that you’re making up, that’s pulling that motivation out of you.
00;02;08;10 – 00;02;30;02
Lauren Brollier Newton
Make up a better story. Make up a story about how much you love serving this work in the world. How easy it is, how much easier is becoming day in day, day by day. It’s getting easier because ultimately the universe is a Mary Morrissey quote here. The universe reads your intention, what you want, what you would love by your attention, what you’re focusing on, what you’re paying attention to.
00;02;30;04 – 00;02;46;02
Lauren Brollier Newton
And when there’s this idea of what comes first, the chicken or the egg, the thinking always comes first. You expand your thinking, the results expand. And the great news about making up a story is a lot of times when people start thinking from their vision and saying things like, it’s getting easier and easier now, and I’m so much more confident now.
00;02;46;02 – 00;03;10;00
Lauren Brollier Newton
And I love building my coaching business. There’s a part of you goes, but that’s not true. That’s not authentic. Well, you know what’s also not true and not authentic? The fact that no, you’re saying to yourself that nobody cares about you and it’s going to be hard. And all of these things. So ultimately, authenticity in what you’re telling yourself is all about the fact that you’re a spiritual being, having a human experience, and you can do anything you want.
00;03;10;02 – 00;03;26;13
Lauren Brollier Newton
That’s what you were created to do. You can think any thought you want to think you can have any experience you want to have. You can take any action you want to take. That’s the truth with a capital T. And so it actually is more authentic to say to yourself, the more I think positive thoughts. And I really don’t like that expression, positive thought.
00;03;26;13 – 00;03;45;28
Lauren Brollier Newton
So let me reframe that. The more I think thoughts that serve where I would love to go, the better I get. And that is a universal truth. With a capital T, it’s immutable. So that is the thought that’s going to serve you and that is the authentic light, because that’s the truth about who you are. First and foremost, stop telling yourself stories that don’t serve where you want to go.
00;03;45;28 – 00;04;12;25
Lauren Brollier Newton
That if there’s anything that eats away at motivation, it’s that if there’s anything that eats away at motivation, it’s the stories that you’re telling yourself that lead you to feel less than challenged. Frustrated. So one of the things that is, helpful in terms of staying motivated to build your business. Yes, it’s the thought you’re thinking, but let me give you a specific around that.
00;04;12;27 – 00;04;37;12
Lauren Brollier Newton
The motivation is going to come from the consistent constant on replay reminder of why you’re doing what you do. Because ultimately, when you’re growing a coaching business, you’re going to be doing all sorts of new things that your nervous system is not used to and is going to need to acclimate to. And so in the beginning, you’re going to feel some fear and some discomfort as you’re building.
00;04;37;14 – 00;04;55;23
Lauren Brollier Newton
The motivation comes from putting the dream, making the dream bigger than the fear, making the result bigger than the fear, making the thing that you’d love to create bigger than the fear. Making the people you love to help. Bigger than that fear. And the only way to do that is to continually bring yourself back to why you’re doing this in the first place.
00;04;55;25 – 00;05;15;07
Lauren Brollier Newton
When we have our coach orientation here at the Institute, someone enrolls to be a certified coach, and every other week we have an orientation where everybody who signed up in the last couple of weeks to become a certified coach gets together with me and our coach concierge, and we get together and we talk about the certification process and why they want to do this in the first place.
00;05;15;09 – 00;05;33;10
Lauren Brollier Newton
And one of the instructions I give to our beginning coaches is always, always, always come back to your why. And so I’ll ask them to type in the chat. Why did you decide to become a certified coach with Bray Thinking Institute at this time in your life? And it’s usually one of three things I’ve been wanting to do this forever, and I’m finally take doing it.
00;05;33;10 – 00;05;52;09
Lauren Brollier Newton
I’ve been wanting to help people in this way for as long as I can remember, and I’m finally doing it. The second most common is I really, really want to help people in an expansive way. I really feel called to serve and help people. And the third thing that we often get is, I know spiritually that this type of work is what’s going to help me help the planet.
00;05;52;09 – 00;06;12;10
Lauren Brollier Newton
Like, there’s a spiritual component to it. And so I’m sharing with them. Always come back to this because you’re going to wake up and there’s going to be a party that doesn’t want to do your training or doesn’t want to go to the network meeting, or doesn’t want to stretch yourself because it’s a little outside of your comfort zone, or it’s causing some fear or some discomfort, that anything new that we try would create, by the way.
00;06;12;12 – 00;06;32;04
Lauren Brollier Newton
And coming back to the why and making that bigger than the fear, bigger than the discomfort is always going to serve you. So how do we remind ourselves of the why? When you wake up in the morning, one easy thing is orient your mind to why you’re doing what you’re doing that day. And I might say something like this.
00;06;32;05 – 00;07;03;23
Lauren Brollier Newton
This is what I say to myself personally. I say to myself, there are hundreds of thousands of people, probably millions of people right now, waking up wanting something different for their life and not thinking that there’s any way to get it. There are people all over the world who have a beautiful dream that would serve this planet, and they’re not taking steps today, there are millions more like billions of people around this world that don’t even know that they can think another thought, that they can have anything that they want to create.
00;07;03;23 – 00;07;21;16
Lauren Brollier Newton
If they if they just have the right tools in their hands. And I am here serving this purpose, serving my mission, serving our mission as an institute, because I want those people to have a chance to tell fear where to go with that one. Right? Like once you’ve said that, you’re like, okay, I’m willing to take a step.
00;07;21;18 – 00;07;46;18
Lauren Brollier Newton
Am I willing to take a step to serve that? Of course I can when I put it that way, because that’s the real truth. But your mind will not just naturally go to that place if you don’t continuously bring your mind to that place, just like if you’re if you’re starting to work out and you start. I was doing, this is a little bit off topic, but not really, because our brain works the same way here I am not up until now.
00;07;46;23 – 00;08;03;11
Lauren Brollier Newton
I don’t love to exercise, but there are exercises that I love. So I continuously tell my mind, oh, when I hear that thought, I don’t love to exercise. It’s like, wait, there are some things that you love to do. And so one of the things I like to do is I like to do walking workouts inside my house.
00;08;03;11 – 00;08;20;21
Lauren Brollier Newton
It’s snowing here. It’s like ten degrees. It wouldn’t be conducive to go outside and walk, but there’s this indoor walking workout that I really like and you’ve got like some like 2 or 3 pound weights and you’re just walking, you know, in your living room lifting these weights. I love that exercise. When I did it the other day, I had done it in a long time.
00;08;20;21 – 00;08;41;00
Lauren Brollier Newton
When I did it the other day, I was out of breath really fast because I hadn’t been doing it for a while now. If I did that exercise video every day for 30 days, by the 30th day, I probably wouldn’t be out of breath doing that. And that’s the very same with training your brain to think a certain way is my brain doesn’t naturally go to my why.
00;08;41;02 – 00;09;07;01
Lauren Brollier Newton
It kind of is rigorous to go to my why and cause myself to do it. But if I did that for 30 days, reminding myself of my why on the 31st day, it’s likely that I would wake up and my brain would naturally go there. Because I’ve trained it. It’s very simple. It’s like when I was a school teacher, one of the most important things about creating a conducive learning environment is the ability to help kids know the boundaries and what the rules are and how things operate.
00;09;07;04 – 00;09;28;21
Lauren Brollier Newton
And so if you say something like this is this is a warning and and the next time that I see this behavior, you are going to lose this or this is what’s going to happen if you don’t follow through on that. The kid is like, oh, she doesn’t mean what she says. I remember one time that I was teaching school, this is important.
00;09;28;21 – 00;09;50;03
Lauren Brollier Newton
I know, I know, it’s going to sound like it’s not relevant, but it’s super relevant in terms of training the brain, training the brain to do what you want it to do. We were on this field trip and there was a this student. I loved her so much. She was a student who at the levels of, you know, just fact, had a very, very challenging home environment where her mom had a lot of mental health issues and drug issues.
00;09;50;06 – 00;10;08;25
Lauren Brollier Newton
And yet she was such a bright, smart, intelligent kid. Did she, misbehave a lot, so to speak? Yes, she did, but I was very firm with her. I was very kind with her. I was very loving with her, and she was great. We went on a field trip and she just lost it. She misbehaved. She was disrespectful.
00;10;08;25 – 00;10;29;03
Lauren Brollier Newton
She was mean to other students. And it was like, okay, that is not going to go. So, I said to her very firmly and kindly listen up. This is the behavior is not acceptable. We only support kindness in this class and respect for all of those around us, even if they’re not in this class. And that is not the behavior that you’re showing right now.
00;10;29;05 – 00;10;46;26
Lauren Brollier Newton
So one more thing. And you know the difference between right and wrong as I watch you do it every day. One more thing, and you’re not going on our end of the year field trip. And she proceeded to kick a koi fish in the pond at this museum we were at. So I said, all right, you’ve lost it.
00;10;46;28 – 00;11;09;00
Lauren Brollier Newton
I went into my classroom and cried that day because I knew that that opportunity to go on this really fun end of your trip was not going to happen in her normal life. But I also knew that if she didn’t learn these lessons about kindness and appropriateness, that for the rest of her life she would have challenges because there wasn’t anybody showing her.
00;11;09;02 – 00;11;27;11
Lauren Brollier Newton
Naturally, what happens when we make this choice or that choice? A couple years later, I was a fourth grade teacher. So several years later, when she was in high school, she came back and visited me in my classroom. And it makes me it makes me get choked up thinking about it. And she said, do you remember when you didn’t let me go on the end of your trip?
00;11;27;11 – 00;11;39;02
Lauren Brollier Newton
And I said, I do. And I told her I was like, that was so hard for me. I mean, you’re old enough now that you can realize that, like, I cried in my classroom that day and she said, Miss Prolia, because that was before I was married, or I might have been married to my former husband at that time.
00;11;39;02 – 00;12;01;20
Lauren Brollier Newton
But she said, Miss Brawley, that was so good that you did that. I learned so much when you did that. So why do I share this with you? Why do I share this training of the mind? Because you’re going to have to be that rigorous with yourself as I was with her. If you want to have a different result, it’s going to be required of you that you do something different.
00;12;01;22 – 00;12;26;10
Lauren Brollier Newton
You can train your thinking if you’re that rigorous with yourself. So every day, if you want to feel motivated, start your day with your why. Why did you become a coach in the first place? Who do you want to help? What’s the truth with a capital T about what you’re doing? And it doesn’t always feel easy. It wasn’t easy for me to keep that child back from a trip, but I knew as hard as it was that that was going to be the thing that created the result.
00;12;26;12 – 00;12;44;15
Lauren Brollier Newton
So be rigorous with yourself. Connect yourself to your why. My why as a teacher was helping students like her. Your why is that? There’s also. I mean, I would guess that part of your why is likely that there’s all sorts of people all over this planet that want something different, and they’re even willing to invest in something different, and they’re even willing to do whatever it takes.
00;12;44;15 – 00;13;05;03
Lauren Brollier Newton
They just need to know you’re there and that you can help them. So wake up every morning, tell yourself why you’re doing this from a global perspective, and then get right down to the personal perspective. Because I want money. I want time freedom. I want to help my family. That’s who I am now. That will greatly help your motivation.
00;13;05;06 – 00;13;19;16
Lauren Brollier Newton
And for some of you, if you’re honest with yourself, I’m thinking of a couple of you that I have the privilege of coaching in our Elevate Brave Thinking Institute program right now. I know that your what you’ve shared with me is that you’re not telling yourself those kind of stories. You’re telling the made up story that doesn’t benefit you.
00;13;19;16 – 00;13;43;02
Lauren Brollier Newton
So that’s my challenge to you. Would you be willing every day for 30 days to start with your why and get really deep until you feel that? Why you feel the reason that you’re doing what you’re doing. All right. The other thing that I want you to know about motivation is that your brain is going to seek pleasure and is going to seek to avoid pain.
00;13;43;04 – 00;14;13;14
Lauren Brollier Newton
The other thing to know about motivation is that your brain is always seeking pleasure and wanting to avoid pain, and depending on what you’ve been doing with your thinking, your brain could very well be thinking that building the business is painful and procrastinating is pleasure. Like if you’ve built it so that every time you’re going to take an action to serve your coaching business or to serve your certification, so to speak, if you’re in the process of getting certified, you’re thinking about getting certified.
00;14;13;17 – 00;14;32;01
Lauren Brollier Newton
If you’ve trained your brain to think that’s painful because you’ve been thinking thoughts like, well, how is it ever going to work out and how am I going to find clients and blah, blah, blah. And this is hard and I’m not motivated. I’m a procrastinator. Your brain now thinks that all things building your business is pain and avoidance is pleasure, so you have got to flip the script on them.
00;14;32;03 – 00;14;53;04
Lauren Brollier Newton
You don’t have to. You can choose to if you would love to and you want to have a different result. Make your brain think that everything that serves your business is pleasure and everything that avoids serving your business’s pain. How do you do that? Well, if you’ve started your day with your why, like I’m suggesting, and you’ve really, really felt and got that why when you it’s going to be easier to take a step.
00;14;53;04 – 00;15;21;14
Lauren Brollier Newton
First and foremost, when you take that step, celebrate yourself, be like, dude, this is me serving my work in the world. I am so freaking proud of myself. Yay! Really give it that pleasure. And then here’s how you bring in the pain. If you don’t, if you you’re sitting there and you’ve got connected to your why and you still don’t want to take the action just because, you know, habit and all sorts of other things, why we avoid then you actually tell your brain, if we don’t take this action, where am I going to be in a month from now?
00;15;21;14 – 00;15;36;25
Lauren Brollier Newton
Where am I going to be six months from now? Where am I going to be a year from now? And you show your brain the pain of being stuck. You tell yourself how long you’ve been wanting to do this thing and how you had the same result this year as you had last year, and let yourself feel the pain of this.
00;15;36;25 – 00;16;05;22
Lauren Brollier Newton
It’s actually a good thing to feel that kind of pain. The reason why is because you want your brain to see avoidance is pain. Action is pleasure and that will really, really help you stay motivated. Now, speaking of one of the things that you guys asked me to talk about when you wanted me to talk about this topic of how do I stay persistent, how do I stay motivated, is you wanted to talk about accountability, that there is this, feeling of wanting more accountability, self accountability.
00;16;05;22 – 00;16;23;27
Lauren Brollier Newton
Now, my recommendation is you get into a structure of support. If you’re brave thinking institute coach, or you’re thinking of becoming a coach, come join us. Enroll in one of our programs. And there’s a level of built in accountability there, because now you’ve paid for something that matters to you. You have skin in the game. There’s people expecting you to show up onward and onward.
00;16;23;29 – 00;16;43;29
Lauren Brollier Newton
So but self accountability, you can create that too. And let me show you it’s more rigorous. But let me share with you how you do it. When I was building my coaching business, I was having an in-person workshop here at where I live in Cody, Wyoming. Anybody who would be a marketing specialist or a business specialist that doesn’t know brave thinking would have said, that’s a terrible place to have a workshop.
00;16;43;29 – 00;17;03;07
Lauren Brollier Newton
It’s a town of only 10,000 people. To the west you have Yellowstone, where there’s no population. The closest town to the east is 45 minutes away. And there’s more pronghorn than people. So why would you have a workshop there? Right? That would be common, our thinking. But the reason I chose to have a workshop there is because one, it’s my hometown, so I don’t have to travel.
00;17;03;07 – 00;17;30;22
Lauren Brollier Newton
That feels expansive to a lot of my clients were wanting to come and visit Cody, so I was thinking, okay, they’ll come and visit. And there’s a lot of people in the state of Wyoming who don’t know brave thinking. And I wanted to bring that to them. So I create this workshop in Cody, Wyoming. I knew that probably 30 to 50 of my current clients would fly into Cody and come to this workshop I was hosting, but I also knew that I was not going to feel good if I got to this workshop.
00;17;30;24 – 00;17;46;08
Lauren Brollier Newton
And there was nobody from my own town or Wyoming here. And I knew. And the reason I knew that wouldn’t feel good is I know that a lot of people don’t know that they can think of different thoughts, that they can have whatever they want. There’s people all over the state of Wyoming who’ve never heard anything like this before, and I want to make it available to them.
00;17;46;10 – 00;18;06;29
Lauren Brollier Newton
And so I had scheduled on my calendar, our Chamber of Commerce here in Cody has these mix and mingles, and usually it’s a breakfast meeting, and you can mix and mingle with other chamber members. And, I saw it and I thought, okay, great. It was a Monday morning at 7:30 a.m.. Now, this is what your brain will do to get you unmotivated.
00;18;06;29 – 00;18;23;10
Lauren Brollier Newton
Your brain will make it again seem like painful. The current paradigm or level of results will say, oh, do you really want to do that? And what is that kind of thinking do? It produces the same result you’ve always created. So I’ve of course, I’ve been a coach bike for for 4 or 5 years at this point. I know this about the brain.
00;18;23;12 – 00;18;39;26
Lauren Brollier Newton
So on Friday before this meeting, I’m like, okay, I don’t want to go to this meet. I don’t want to wake up at 5 or 530 to get ready to go to this meeting, blah, blah. And then I caused myself to say, no, Lauren, you want this, you want the result. You’re doing it Sunday night. Same thing happens.
00;18;39;26 – 00;18;58;22
Lauren Brollier Newton
I don’t want to go to this meeting in the morning. And, and I’m causing myself to think a different thought. Yes, I do, because I would love for people to be here, to be at this event that I’m hosting. And I want to help these people. Monday morning rolls around. There is a snowstorm like whiteout looking snowstorm.
00;18;58;24 – 00;19;13;15
Lauren Brollier Newton
And there’s part of me that’s like, oh, should I really go in a snow snowstorm? Is that really safe? And I had this. And here’s what I know about the brain. And here’s what I want you to know. It’ll make up any story it can make up to keep you in your comfort zone. Why? Because the brain is always seeking pleasure and safety for you.
00;19;13;18 – 00;19;33;26
Lauren Brollier Newton
But it doesn’t know. It doesn’t know that you’re not going to die if you do something different. It doesn’t know that you could go to a Chamber of Commerce meeting and everything will be fine. Like it? You have to. You’re you have the consciousness. You have to direct the brain to do what you want it to do. So I have this conversation with myself and I do for motivation.
00;19;33;26 – 00;19;56;29
Lauren Brollier Newton
I do exactly what I shared with you. I share with my brain why it’s pleasurable to go to the meeting and why it’s painful. Not so. I say this to myself, Lauren, imagine it’s you’re your vision workshop. This is the workshop that we train our coaches to have. I used it my whole career as a coach. Imagine you get to the vision workshop and your current clients are there, but there’s nobody from the state of Wyoming.
00;19;57;01 – 00;20;15;01
Lauren Brollier Newton
How does that feel? How would you feel if that happened, if you knew you had this opportunity and you didn’t take it? And I just say to myself, well, that I would feel like crap because this will be my second workshop in Wyoming. I would feel like I’ve wasted an opportunity, and I put all this effort and time and money and practice into something that didn’t serve as many people as I wanted to serve.
00;20;15;01 – 00;20;34;15
Lauren Brollier Newton
That would feel horrible. All right. So knowing that it feels horrible to not have the result you want, then what step would be pleasurable to take today? Oh, I’ve got to go to this meeting. I have four wheel drive on my car. It’s fine. That’s the type of persistence that you have to have with yourself. It comes from your thinking again, why am I doing this?
00;20;34;17 – 00;20;48;21
Lauren Brollier Newton
Because what I knew is if I didn’t start taking some different actions to get with people here in Wyoming and invite them to come to the workshop, I was going to have the same type of workshop I’ve always had, which is great. I love my current clients. I loved doing that, but I want to open it up more now.
00;20;48;21 – 00;21;06;26
Lauren Brollier Newton
What ended up being the result? Many, many people came from all over the state of Wyoming and we had a great event, and I had many Wyoming clients who were building their businesses and doing things for their community. It was fantastic. Now, let me just share with you that that Chamber of Commerce meeting itself may or may not have generated.
00;21;06;26 – 00;21;24;24
Lauren Brollier Newton
I don’t know if that going to that meeting generated people coming to the workshop or not, but what I do know is that I was different when I left that meeting, because I had shown myself a level of dedication to the result that I wanted to create. And so how do you stay motivated? You’re constantly showing your brain, why should you stay motivated?
00;21;25;00 – 00;21;42;18
Lauren Brollier Newton
What’s the result? If I stay motivated, what’s the result if I don’t? Now, another question that you guys asked me when you knew I was going to do this episode is how do I deal with dissatisfaction? Because that’s how I get unmotivated is I go do something and I don’t have the result I would love, and then I get dissatisfied.

We give you a quote from the late, great Bob Proctor. There’s this great Bob Proctor video from a live event that he was doing. It’s a clip of it, and he says dissatisfaction is actually the most creative vibration in the world. And then he says, get totally pissed off at the way things are because dissatisfaction is a creative vibration.
00;22;03;25 – 00;22;26;21
Lauren Brollier Newton
If you’ve let the dissatisfaction give you a willingness to change it, it will be such a creative vibration. So get, get. Let dissatisfaction be an impetus, a spark for you. So instead of getting dissatisfied and like, oh, this is why I should do this, let’s say you have an event and your goal was to have 20 people there and you only had five people there.
00;22;26;24 – 00;22;44;06
Lauren Brollier Newton
Well, rather than getting dissatisfied in a way of like, oh look, it’s not working, get dissatisfied with the result, but in a way that’s creative. And here’s what I mean by that. First, let’s celebrate the five people. That’s five lives changed. Five people’s lives were changed because they attended this workshop. I’ll speak to five people all day long.
00;22;44;09 – 00;23;00;07
Lauren Brollier Newton
Those five people could become my clients. I am not going to get upset about five people coming to my workshop. What I will get dissatisfied about is that I would love for 20 people to be there. So I’ll look at the actions that I took to get five and I’ll say, would I be willing to turn up the volume on that?
00;23;00;07 – 00;23;19;15
Lauren Brollier Newton
Would I be willing to create in a more creative way? Would I be willing to get more in harmony with my vision, and act on the ideas that serve my vision? That’s where dissatisfaction can actually help your motivation. It’s like, yeah, let’s turn up the volume on this baby. I had a five person result, which is I achieved 25% of the result.
00;23;19;19 – 00;23;39;24
Lauren Brollier Newton
That’s great. If I can achieve 20% of the result, I can achieve 50% of the result. Let’s go. The other thing about dissatisfaction that I think it’s very important for you guys to all know about businesses, business in general is not just an upward trajectory all the time. The downs actually provide you with feedback for how to create an up.
00;23;39;27 – 00;23;57;21
Lauren Brollier Newton
So if I like, for example, when I’m talking about this Wyoming workshop, I’d had a Wyoming workshop and I it was a great result. And I had a couple people from Wyoming, but I wanted a better result. So instead of getting super like, oh, Wyoming workshops don’t work. No. Okay, let’s look at what I did that first time, and now let’s get more creative and turn up the volume on it.
00;23;57;21 – 00;24;19;28
Lauren Brollier Newton
So there’s feedback encoded in even the results that you don’t love. And that’s why when there’s ups and downs, you actually want to celebrate the downs because they’re going to show you, oh, I see I didn’t I probably didn’t do enough networking or I didn’t stay connected to my vision enough, or I just didn’t put attention on this workshop, whatever it is that created the result that you weren’t in love with, you can fix that.
00;24;20;00 – 00;24;46;28
Lauren Brollier Newton
So dissatisfaction is not anything happening to you. I want you to know there is no power in this universe, whether you want to call it God or source or life or whatever you want to call it. No one’s withholding anything from you. You have all the resources at your fingertips. You’ve got to make the move. All right. Last thing is, sometimes when you become an entrepreneur, especially if you’ve been in a business where you work sort of a, the solo figure in that business, it can feel lonely a little bit.
00;24;46;28 – 00;25;05;19
Lauren Brollier Newton
You can feel a little bit isolated. You can become part of communities like this one. The Brave Thinking Institute. Enroll in programs, network with the people there, make friendships with people who are going, where you’re going. I joined networking groups. Yes, I wanted more business, but mainly because I wanted to connect with other entrepreneurs who maybe also felt isolated.
00;25;05;21 – 00;25;25;22
Lauren Brollier Newton
So I think the message in this whole podcast episode is the world is your oyster. Everything’s at your fingertips. Sink the thoughts that keep you motivated. Connect to your why you’re feeling isolated. Go, oh, I’m feeling isolated. That’s okay. I don’t have to stay this way. Who can I reach out to today? What step can I take today like it’s all in your hands?
00;25;25;25 – 00;25;44;16
Lauren Brollier Newton
It’s way easier. Of course, when you’re in a community of support and you’re in a community and in and in programs where you can learn how to do these things. I didn’t make this up on my own, you guys. It’s not like all of that I’m sharing with you. I just someday made up on my own. All of this I learned at Brave Thinking Institute, and from actually taking action on the things I learned.
00;25;44;16 – 00;26;09;17
Lauren Brollier Newton
That’s where all of this comes from. So how do you stay motivated? Let’s go back to our quote. If you’re going to make up a story, make it a good one. Listen to the thoughts you’re thinking. Connect to your why every single day for 30 days. Help the brain see that your coaching business is pleasurable. Avoidance is pain, and you will be on a whole different level of results by the next episode of this podcast.
00;26;09;19 – 00;26;15;01
Lauren Brollier Newton
