    S4E01: The Frequency of Success: Aligning Mindset and Energy for Business Growth with Rebecca Page

    Doug is joined by the multi-talented Rebecca Page, a serial entrepreneur who has built and sold an impressive six businesses. Together, they explore the world of goal setting, business growth, and the power of energetics. Rebecca shares her unique insights on creating profitable ventures while maintaining a positive mindset, offering listeners valuable strategies to manifest success in their own lives.

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS


    Traditional funnels are outdated; businesses need to evolve their strategies to match customer behaviour and leverage various platforms for lead generation.
    Aligning your mindset and energy with your financial goals is crucial for business success, as it helps attract the right opportunities and people.
    Successful entrepreneurs often have a unique energetic way of being that sets them apart, allowing them to navigate challenges with ease.
    Raising your frequency to match your desired results and maintaining an "in-flow" state can lead to better business outcomes and a more fulfilling life.
    When setting goals, start with the most expanded version of the impact you want to have, then work backwards and break it down into milestones.
    Providing value to others through your business is a form of altruism, as it uplifts your team, customers, and community.
    Rebecca's system for attracting over a million followers and selling six businesses involves getting in the zone, setting up the necessary structures, and staying in that zone.
    The key to happiness lies in changing your reaction to events, as a positive reaction leads to positive outcomes.

     

    BEST MOMENTS 

    "It's like if you've ever, most people have read a book or done a course at some point in their lives. And I call it the Tony Robbins effect."

    "If you can bring the excitement you just had to the gaps, that's the magic, right?"

    "When you create a business, so long as you treat your people well. You are lifting all of the team around you. If you are providing some kind of a solution to customers, you are lifting them as well."

    "The moping around that humans do is entirely of our own creation, it's of our own intellect."  

    "There's people with amazing ideas and amazing concepts who just lack the how do you go from a job or a business that's not working for you into something that's profitable, where you're out there lit up, inspiring others, providing solutions.”
