play

10/18/21 • 33 min

If you’re an entrepreneur, there’s a good chance you’ve struggled with money mindset at some point in your journey. Shifting your mindset around money is a core piece of evolving as an entrepreneur and in your business. When you start thinking about what you want in your business and what’s important to you when it comes to money --and do the necessary inner work --you will begin to shift the narrative and manifest your desires around your finances.

In today’s episode, I am talking to Amanda Kutner, an NLP trainer, a master NLP practitioner, a master certified hypnotherapist, and an EFT practitioner who has helped hundreds of students around the world to shift their identities, smash their fears and really learn how to rewire their brain to achieve the successes and desires.

During our conversation, we’re diving into how some of the core money mindset beliefs and fears can impact your business, the different ways you can approach money mindset, plus the science behind the manifestation from a neuro-linguistic programming perspective.

In this episode, we cover...

  • Uncovering your core beliefs surrounding what money means to you
  • Ways to shift from a state of lack to one of gratitude
  • How to approach the generational narrative of “hard work equals money”
  • What subconscious mind work and healing looks like with NLP
  • The science behind manifestation & using it in your own journey

“You have this focus, and then all of your actions are just kind of following suit without really trying too hard. So that whole working hard thing kind of stems easily and effortlessly when we're on track and focused on what we do want.” - Amanda Kutner

Made for More with Amanda Kolbye - 32. Organize, Strategize, and Systemize Your Content Creation
play

03/01/21 • 26 min

Having a presence on multiple platforms doesn’t mean you need to double or triple your content creation load. It’s not actually about creating more; it’s about being smart and putting systems in place that help you create a sustainable content creation process that works for your business marketing plan!

In this episode, I am diving into content creation, organization, and repurposing, and how you can make your life easier using proven systems and processes that eliminate content overwhelm! Today, we’ll be taking a high-level view of the four stages of content creation, creating content that compounds on each other, why organization is key, and how to map out a content system that works for you and your team.

In this episode, we cover...

  • The four stages of content creation
  • Making sure your content fits into your marketing plan
  • Multiplying the impact of your content
  • How to create an effective system for repurposing content
  • Action steps to get you started

QUOTES

”It's one thing to just create a bunch of ideas for content, throw it on the calendar, then repurpose each piece and mix it all up and throw it on the calendar again. That'll be good for

visibility and showing up in all the places. But our goal is to convert to a sale.” - Amanda Kolbye

“ Make sure you also look at your business in stages. Set up the organization and storage piece ASAP, no matter what. But don't bite off more than you can chew. Be impactful, effective, and make sure you go deep within your content and your established brand presence before going wide.” - Amanda Kolbye

play

10/31/22 • 37 min

For the past 2 years I’ve been struggling with major burnout but it was also more than that. I realized I had actually fallen back into addiction for the 3rd time in my life. No one could help me. I could not help myself: I had completely lost control. And while most people don't neccessarily end up in addiction cycles, there is a scary truth among so many high achieving entrepreneurs happening BTS that we need to talk about...

In this episode, we deep plunge into my struggles and the answers I have acquired a long my journey.

In this episode, we cover...

  • Struggles, hardships and major burnnouts
  • My methods of getting "unstuck"
  • BTS of a "functioning" entrepreneur
  • The ways I found to escape from my emotional stress
  • Action steps to take for a better future and successful business

“Until the fall, I let go. I let go of everything, I had to and I had to reprioritize myself. So, dipping into this..what happened? Now looking back after going through a lot of healing processes this year, what was wrong?”

“I am absolutely still on my healing journey, working through things, and learning more. Going deeper and learning more especially about regulating nervous systems and brain function and now can see how impactful it really really is.”

Made for More with Amanda Kolbye - Mini Moments Ep 49: Follow The Fear With Natanya Bravo
play

11/23/22 • 6 min

In these "Mini Moments" we pull some of my favorite and most impactful mini lessons from past episodes of the Made for More Podcast to give you a quick digestible lesson in under 10 minutes. If you liked this mini moment, check out the rest of this full episode here - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-use-fear-as-the-driving-force-to-realizing/id1529443551?i=1000527085386

Summary There are two big things that hold people back from getting what they want: priorities and assessment/fear of risk. We often tell ourselves we really want something but our actions say otherwise in that we are likely not truly prioritizing the actions needed to change. So they hard question becomes not just "how bad do you really want this?" but "how bad do you really want this in regards to what you will have to trade or sacrifice to prioritize and achieve that thing?" Lastly, we provide a new way to think about risk, because most people only think about risk from one side.

Our Favorite Quotes

"I think a lot of us get stuck at wanting to see the top of the staircase, before we've ever taken the first or second step."

"That bold, messy, uncomfottable action is going to help you get the data and data is really the way you're going to be able to make those decisions one at a time without trying to make ten decisions and map out your whole 5 year plan at one time."

095. Own Your Version of Success

07/25/22 • 29 min

I never really fit the mold of a " 7- figure business owner" or "successful coach." So since starting my business, I've gone through some massive identity crises. I think this very much comes with being an entrepreneur over time. You're evolving, changing, and growing. 

 

This episode is about making more interesting millionaires and challenging your vision of success in the way that you are attempting to portray it.

 

In this episode, we cover…

  • Owning and accepting your truth
  • How to embody your own version of success
  • Classic Millionaire statuses 
  • A different viewpoint of what success is
  • How are you showing up to perform?

 

"So we say the right things, but behind closed doors, and maybe even subconsciously, we're not accepting and internalizing and owning the fuck out of this different version of success. We still want to fit in in some way. And that can cause a lot of inner turmoil that sometimes we recognize is going on, and sometimes we don't even realize consciously."

 

"A lot of entrepreneurs are chasing after authority market markers chasing after the money or chasing after more of the illusion of success and feeling success for yourself every day we are performing, and thus that is why many people are still not happy because you're not accepting and owning your truth,"

 

"Money only amplifies what already exists."

In today's episode, we're diving into the natural and raw aspects of the mindset at things that entrepreneurs struggle with at every single level. 

 

Our guest expert Topsie VandenBosch is a mindset and emotional intelligence expert. She will be talking with you today about her different opinions and experiences on these matters. 

 

Topsie is not only a mindset and emotional intelligence coach but also a clinical therapist and has her master's in social work. She's on a mission to help high achieving six and seven-figure entrepreneurs and business owners, as well as corporate executives, destroy their negative thought patterns and behaviors using emotional intelligence and mindset strategy so that they can live happier, healthier, successful lives. 

 

In this episode, we cover…

  • Identifying the blocks that contribute to a turmoil perspective
  • Managing emotions at hard times 
  • How to refocus yourself 
  • What pressures are you holding yourself to that you get to release?
  • Separating yourself from your business
  • Rapid Fire Questions

 

"The whole Oh, I scaled, and I hit my first, you know, $200,000 month, that's fucking incredible. I want to be very clear. What I think is incredible is how you beat yourself up. When you feel like you're not hitting that each month, but it's looking at what you have to do to hit 200,000? What did you have to do? And do you want to keep doing that? And if so, why?"

 

"So I think it's about allowing it to get quiet. I believe that so many of us struggle with the quiet. We're constantly scrolling because what would happen if I just allowed my thoughts to wander? Where would they go? What would I think about, and what would I worry about? Right? So a lot of entrepreneurs are worriers. And so it's beneficial to have an online business because you get to distract yourself from the truth."

In this episode, I'm sharing a fresh perspective on niching down, and why it's so valuable to your business! Because there's so much to cover, we’ve broken this conversation into two separate episodes to make it easier for you to take in. This is Part 2, so make sure you've already listened to Part 1! We are getting back to the basics - but don't worry, this episode is for you no matter what level of business you are in. In this episode, I'm giving you my fresh, never-shared-before perspective on the power of niching down & making sales. It all comes down to the magic trio to sold out offers, and I'm spilling the tea on exactly how you can niche down to stand out. Expect to be sold on niching down after this episode - even if you're multi-passionate, new to business, and feeling frustrated the current state of social media. Plus, I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look on how I've been implementing everything I talk about here in my own 7-figure business. In this episode, we cover...
  • Revisiting the basics at every level of business
  • The magic trio to sold out offers
  • Why being multi-passionate shouldn't stand in the way of niching down
  • Why being new to your industry doesn't have to hold you back
  • How you can become known, regardless of the IG algorithm

Quotes "Making money and standing out are based on value. Therefore, if we make it really simple, if you can be the most valuable person or thing, you will sell." "If my service is for many people, its value is watered down and not always applicable. If my service is niched down or rather specific to one person in one situation during one time, it can become the highest value possible." "In order for you to sell more, in order for you to sell out your offers with ease and stand out, you cannot continually just do new and keep hopping from thing to thing or keep executing with the short term thinking."

Made for More with Amanda Kolbye - 88. If I Had to Start Over, This Is What I Would Do
play

05/03/22 • 41 min

Once you've reached a particular phase in your business, the common question is, "If you had to start over, what would you do?"

I've been thinking lately about what I would do differently if I were to start my business again or If I was a student going through my LLB program. In this episode, I'm going to go down the list of all the different things that I kind of thought of what I would do differently, what I would do the same, then some things that are not necessarily bad or good that I did, but I think would need to be addressed differently.

In this episode, we cover...

  • Building a business while having a 9-5, why I don't regret quitting my job and moving to Thailand
  • Mastering your skills
  • Building an audience, showing up & networking
  • My opinion on starting a passive income
  • The importance of niching down
  • Mindset and clarity and defining your vision

"My number one focus would be building an audience. You can sit behind the scenes all day and perfect all of these things; you need to build foundations to scale the business, but I'm talking about, this is my day one that I'm talking to you about starting over on, and I would start building an audience."

"When many people hear my business story, they hear about my coaching business, and we grew, you know, to a million in two years and all this crazy stuff. We grew so fast. And then, when I talk about my design business, I was booked out in my first week of launching and made over 5k in my first month and continued to scale from there. It's all these sexy stories. But one of the bottom parts of the iceberg to those stories is that I had built a personal brand since the spring of 2008 very intentionally on Instagram."

"I had built a personal brand, where I showed up every day for an entire year before making a single dollar. Now that's because I wasn't trying to sell anything before. But it's also a huge reason I could sell things so fast because people knew and trusted me."
