I recently attended a business summit hosted by one of my most recent mentors, @alexcharfen.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When he said this quote, I immediately stopped to take notes.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Since having the intention to have a business in 2018, the person I am has DRASTICALLY changed.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
2018:⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Vanessa in 2018 was worried about what people thought of her.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Vanessa in 2018 was changing her IG bio once every two weeks.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Vanessa in 2018 was spending all her time creating cover banners on Canva.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
2019:⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Vanessa in 2019 was constantly comparing herself to other coaches, content creators and entrepreneurs.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Vanessa in 2019 wasn't sure how to prioritize or delegate.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Vanessa in 2019 wasn't a good leader, and frankly didn't know how to lead at all.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
2020:⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Vanessa this year has invested more money in leadership trainings than sales and marketing trainings.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Vanessa this year has learned to prioritize self-care and understand not everything is an emergency.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Vanessa this year has taken the time to understand her business numbers instead of winging it.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
EACH year I've had to evolve into somebody else.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Why?⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Because at each level of growth you want to unlock, you have to be someone DIFFERENT.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
What you got here is only going to prevent you from getting to the next level.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
At each step, you are shedding identities.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
If you hold onto an identity for too long... Your business will suffer.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Let me know in the comments below if you've had to shift identities and what that was like for you OR if you’re going through an identity shift right now.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Remember: It’s not enough to say you want to make 6 figures or a million dollars.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s all about who you need to BECOME in order to BE somebody who can generate that type of income. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣

Eeek! I’m just starting out and I’m learning so much. How do I make sure I don’t get called out for copying?⁣
⁣
^ Good question, my friend!⁣
⁣
I recently had a conversation with my friend @psimella about how true authority is built.⁣
⁣
➡️ SWIPE to read more.⁣
⁣
Everything that you’re absorbing from courses, mentors, books are just a BASELINE to help you get started or to see things differently.⁣
⁣
Afterwards, the real work begins.⁣
⁣
The FUN work begins.⁣
⁣
This is the work where you get to come up with your OWN methods and frameworks.⁣
⁣
It’s the work where you tinker with shit and test things out using your mentors advice as a BASE, and then making YOUR OWN conclusions based on what worked and didn’t work.⁣
⁣
Most people don’t do this because it takes time, patience, courage, and creativity.⁣
⁣
Unfortunately most people are afraid to make mistakes...⁣
⁣
So they always either ⁣
⁣
A) Stay in the shadow of their mentors and never make a name for THEMSELVES... or⁣
⁣
B) Eventually get called out for copyright infringement 💀💀
⁣
Remember: It’s not enough to just replicate. You need to INNOVATE.⁣
⁣
Does this post hit different? Let me know in the comments below!⁣

HOW DID I GET HERE?⁣ ⁣ As enrolment for my sig

HOW DID I GET HERE?⁣
⁣
As enrolment for my signature program @thebossgramacademy closes tonight…⁣
⁣
I want to show you this timeline of events of how I started with the intention of starting a biz in August 2018… to today, August 2020.⁣
⁣
Unlike other coaches who may launch different programs every quarter (and that’s OKAY!)…⁣
⁣
I’ve really stuck with one throughout the life of my business.⁣
⁣
It all started when I worked with my first few beta clients…⁣
⁣
Where I got CLEARER on what I wanted to do.⁣
⁣
Once I got that CLARITY, I started working with clients at the 1:1 level, pay in full…⁣
⁣
Overtime I increased my prices and used that capital I earned to hire people on my team…⁣
⁣
And as demand for my 1:1 coaching grew, I knew that I needed to package all my knowledge that I was giving to my 1:1 clients into a program.⁣
⁣
This is when the FIRST version of @thebossgramacademy was born.⁣
⁣
During this period I made a lot of rookie mistakes, and it was clear to me how my program could be better.⁣
⁣
This is when I niched down so the program would only be suitable for coaches.⁣
⁣
This is when BGA 2.0 was born.⁣
⁣
While being super close to over 1,000 students…⁣
⁣
It eventually became clear to me what the FAQs were, and the existing “gaps” that needed to be filled in the program.⁣
⁣
All of June 2020, I rolled up my sleeves and re-created the entire program.⁣
⁣
Filling every hole.⁣
⁣
Answering every question.⁣
⁣
Deleting anything that wasn’t relevant.⁣
⁣
And adding anything that shouldn’t be missed.⁣
⁣
July 2020 was when BGA 3.0 was born.⁣
⁣
I have poured 2 years of work into this program, and it is the exact reason why we have so many incredible testimonials, advocates, and results produced.⁣
⁣
My biggest advice to new entrepreneurs is to have patience.⁣
⁣
Your first draft will ALWAYS “suck”⁣
⁣
But know that you have TIME to collect data and ALWAYS improve your products and services.⁣
⁣
Start small. Go big. Scale it up.⁣
⁣
📣 TONIGHT is your last chance to enroll and see what @thebossgramacademy has to offer.⁣
⁣
Doors officially close at 11:59PM PST, along with the price, bonuses, and opportunity itself.⁣
⁣
I hope to see you on the inside! ❤️

⁣⁣
How lucky are we to live in a world where we have access to information right at our fingertips⁣⁣
⁣⁣
How lucky AM I to be able to build a 7-figure business thanks to⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1. Being resourceful⁣⁣
2. Leveraging the internet⁣⁣
3. Getting access to people I look up to⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ll keep this short and sweet, because the carousel speaks for itself.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
👉🏼 Doors to The BOSSGRAM Academy closes TOMORROW (8/2) at 11:59PM PST.
⁣⁣
It is the ONLY program I offer. It is my signature program packed with resources I don’t share on my free channels.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve perfected this program to the T with my experience of working with over 1,000+ students.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve combined the knowledge I KNOW will help new coaches PLUS the 6-figure strategies I picked up a long the way.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
People often ask me why I don’t create programs for advanced coaches.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I could...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But I prefer to help new coaches get a leg up with the RIGHT strategies that don’t keep them stuck for months.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
That’s why when you enroll in BGA, you know you’re getting quality content from someone else who has successfully scaled up their business to 7-figures in 18 months.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
AND scaled to 7 figures within the calendar year.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
(Because yes, there’s a difference between making 7 figures in your lifetime, vs making 7 figures within the calendar year.)⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So, if you want to take advantage of this limited time opportunity, then click the link in bio to learn more about BGA and enroll before the timer hits 0:00.⁣ ⏰
⁣⁣
I’ll see you in the program!⁣⁣

PS: Doors to @thebossgramacademy closes TOMORROW.

[👉🏼 SWIPE] to see what profitability > perfe

[👉🏼 SWIPE] to see what profitability > perfection looks like in action.⁣
⁣
The BEST thing I ever did for my business was to just GO for it.⁣
⁣
Thanks to my corporate background, I learned early on the costly mistake of lacking market validation.⁣
⁣
The # of products that go BUST simply because NO ONE did research to test if it even was going to sell.⁣
⁣
When I worked at L’Oreal, something we did was “Pretotyping”⁣
⁣
The Engineering Director at Google came to speak and taught us the importance of building a quick and cheap version of your product to validate the demand first before you pour resources and money on building the real thing.⁣
⁣
This lesson has been ingrained in me ever since, and is infused in all of my lessons that I teach in my premium program, The BOSSGRAM Academy.
⁣
Because of this, I’ve been able to grow my business fast - even if I didn’t have every check box “ticked” off.⁣
⁣
I was able to validate my offers WHILE scaling up.⁣
⁣
THIS entrepreneurial and fast action spirit is what is missing in a lot of people.⁣
⁣
Heck, it was missing in ME for a very long time….⁣
⁣
UNTIL I learned the importance of it, and continued to practice fast messy action every day.⁣
⁣
It’s a philosophy you need to DEVELOP.⁣
⁣
👉🏼 For those of you eyeing my signature program, The BOSSGRAM Academy, doors are closing this Sunday.⁣
⁣
Inside BGA, my teaching style replicates a lot of the things I learned while working at a billion dollar company.⁣
⁣
The LAST thing I ever want any of my students to do is to waste time and resources on things that won’t sell or be profitable.⁣
⁣
I want my students to think different.⁣
I want my students to be fast to market.⁣
I want my students to win.
⁣
EVEN if they don’t feel “ready”⁣
⁣
Because “ready” doesn’t pay the bills.⁣
⁣
Action does.⁣
⁣
So boss, if you’re ready to join us in the program, you have until Sunday to make your decision AND get our exclusive bonuses available ONLY until this Sunday.⁣
⁣
➡️ Link in bio to enroll. Hope to see you on the inside.
⁣
And remember: Perfection is the ENEMY of Profitability. ⁣

THE TOP THINGS YOU’RE JUSTIFYING TO YOURSELF THA

THE TOP THINGS YOU’RE JUSTIFYING TO YOURSELF THAT (ACTUALLY) KEEP YOU STUCK.⁣
⁣
Over the last few days I’ve gotten a lot of inquiries about The BOSSGRAM Academy…⁣
⁣
Including the reasons why people don’t feel ready to take the next step.⁣
⁣
👉🏼 SWIPE to see the TOP excuses I see most new entrepreneurs make that HINDER their progress.⁣
⁣
These “justifications” aren’t just prevalent in those who are inquiring about BGA…⁣
⁣
But it’s also VERY common amongst my students too, especially when they first join the program.⁣
⁣
That’s why I compiled my answers for each of these misconceptions.⁣
⁣
Remember: The work you’re avoiding is usually the work that you should be doing.⁣
⁣
Take action and start doing the damn thing!⁣
⁣
PS: Enrolment to The BOSSGRAM Academy closes in THREE days. Click the link in my bio to enroll before the timer hits zero this Sunday!⁣
⁣
👉🏼 Or visit www.bossgramacademy.com⁣
⁣
I hope to see you on the inside, action taker!
