Pulling Back the Curtain

Have you ever felt paralyzed before when negative Imposter Syndrome or “I’m-Not-Enough-itis” thoughts start to creep into your head? 👋🏻I 💯 have! In fact, research actually shows that 70% of us struggle with Imposter Syndrome or feeling like a fraud. Even huge name actors like Jodi Foster, JLo, and Maya Angelou have said they have felt this way too!I released a new podcast today where I talk about how this happened to me recently. I got a really cool opportunity to speak on stage at Brendon Burchard’s Influencer event. I remember the day so clearly.... when I saw that text on my phone pop up from Brendon asking me to be there - I was so excited in that moment! Later that day, they asked me to send in a bio and headshot. As I was sitting there in my chair in front of my computer I was staring at the blank cursor on my screen and just couldn’t come up with the words to write my bio.I started reading the bios of all the other amazing speakers (Rachel Hollis, Tom Bilyeu, Lewis Howes, Trent Shelton, Dean Graziosi, and others)...and those negative voices started to creep into my head.“Natalie, you haven’t written a New York Times Bestseller Book like Rachel has...”“Natalie, you don’t reach 60M people weekly like Trent does with his videos...”“Natalie, you haven’t done $1Billion in sales revenue like Dean has...”“Natalie, your podcast doesn’t have 100M downloads like Lewis’ does...”In my podcast today, I talk about what that day was like for me, and how I worked through it. And other times I’ve felt this way (launching new products in my business, not feeling good enough at mom groups, not thinking I was smart enough around my internet marketing friends, not feeling “fit” enough in a swimsuit in public, etc). I shared with you my 5 strategies for beating those imposter syndrome feelings when they creep up...things you can implement today if you’re struggling with this too. Ultimately, I knew I had two options. Option 1: I could let the imposter syndrome paralyze me and do nothing. Cancel my invitation, or shrink into that fear. Or Option 2: I could show up anyways.I chose to show up. The braver choice. I reminded myself that I was asked to be there for a reason, and that I have a unique voice that nobody else has. I wholeheartedly believe that pushing through those negative voices, and putting yourself in hard or uncomfortable situations are what ACTUALLY give you the grit and tenacity needed to be successful. Learning how to do this over and over and over again (even when it feels hard) is the secret that what will lead you to long term success and greatness.Hope you love the podcast!XoNatalie

Welcome back. In today's Pulling Back The Curtain Podcast, I open up about an exciting position I took from Russell Brunson, my ultimate mentor. I talk about what I did to get exactly where I am today by obsessively geeking out over a certain type of people.

I share my stories about how surrounding myself with people who had similar goals as me, helped shape my career and I talk about how it's the process of trying, that actually creates the success, not the success itself.

Let me know if you're listening to this podcast, what you think and let me know who you're obsessing over, who you're modeling, and what you're doing to implement new strategies.

5 kids, an 8 figure business, and 1 amazing story from one of my favorite people! 🙌

Jaime Cross is an amazing mother, an incredibly successful business owner, and a close friend of mine! I love Jaime’s story because it’s inspiring, and it really shows her tenacity, faith, and willingness to take risks. Her story proves hard work and taking a chance can really go a long way in terms of success and overall happiness.

Her business was truly built from the ground up, and her products speak for themselves! Her skincare products are great, even for someone like me who has notoriously sensitive skin. Her journey from corporate life with kids in diapers, to having her cards declined, to asking God for a billion dollar idea, to literally going door to door with that idea, is one that truly shows her grit and determination.

In this podcast episode, I interview Jaime about her story.  She talks about identity, empowerment, vision, and what drives her. We talk about hardships, how she expanded her business, and how mindset plays a big role in her ability to continue with forward momentum. 

She’s passionate about helping women succeed, helping people heal, and building the best life she can for her children. 

In the words of Jaime, there’s no message without a mess! 

Trust me, you don’t want to miss this episode! Jaime proves that building a successful business while raising kids is entirely possible. She proves hard work and passion are powerful tools to find happiness. 

I know you’ll love her just as much as I do!

Thank you so much for Pulling Back the Curtain, Jaime! 

Enjoy!

I love helping people with their business. It’s what lights me up. Today, this podcast episode will do just that and I hope it lights you up, too!

Because of COVID, I haven’t been able to do a lot of the public speaking that I started doing over the last few years. But this episode is a recording of a speaking event I was asked to do by my mentor Russell Brunson. I share the most powerful advice for business I WISH I would have known years ago. 

I didn’t have anyone showing me the ropes when I first started, which is why I now feel really passionate about doing that for other people. But I really think that even if you’re not in business, my story and what I’ve learned is applicable in a lot of areas. 

During this speaking event, I share my story, my struggles, my wins, and what I’ve learned. I talk about connection, and how creating authentic and strong connections with people turned into my magic superpower. 

My talents aren’t about writing books, making workout programs, or even marketing! My talent really is just learning how to connect to people through authenticity and vulnerability. 

Through numbers, data, and testing, I learned what works. And what works is connection.

I hope you love this episode!

Thank you for listening!
