The Big Leap

You know how you watch your favorite movies and TV shows over and over again because they’re SO GOOD?

That’s the idea with today’s REWIND episode!

It’s one of the most downloaded episodes of all time and Mike and Gay thought you might want to revisit it this week.

How well do you read your body to know what’s really going on?

How much time do you feel you stay in your Superpower zone?

What % of your day or life do you feel STUCK ? Like you’re just not going anywhere? Like nothing has changed, moved forward, or inspired you in a REALLY long time?

What if you could access an unbounded source of creativity inside of YOURSELF at any given moment? What if you could use your own natural body resources to feel good ALL the time?

Imagine being able to use your body as a dashboard that tells you exactly what's going on in your life.

Gay Hendricks and Mike Koenigs produced a new episode of The Big Leap that they think you’re going to LOVE — Especially if you’re interested in learning how to turn ON your deepest creativity. They include a very practical process that Gay uses to get unstuck.

They'll also talk about a big distinction between your zone of genius and your zone of excellence and how to get yourself there AND a really practical tool that Mike only uses with his $50,000 Superpower Accelerator Vision Day clients. (And how he activates energy to get in sync, and create together!) It's a never-fail process!

Gay describes something he calls your “emotional dashboard” and how to read your body in ways you may never have done before. It’s something that’s had a massive impact on Mike. It’s a Superpower Visualization you'll be able to start using today.

Something we all need help with is how to open up and let more of our true creativity emerge. There's a difference between ordinary creativity where you're using your creative skills to do things for other people and true creativity where you're using your skills to do things for other people that benefit yourself.

Gay says the antidote for getting unstuck, doing what you’re good at, and drawing on your genius is inviting people into the fourth genius. This gets you past The Big Leap and into your Zone of Excellence, where you’re doing stuff you’re good at.

When Gay is working with a private client (in addition to visioning) he spends a lot of time beforehand creating a space inside himself for connecting with that person, knowing something about their journey, and making space for that. Dedicating himself to serving them is incredibly important.

When Mike is working with high-end Superpower Accelerator clients, he always asks them to go out into an imaginary future a year from now, look back at where they are now and ask themselves, what will it take to get to this other place. Sometimes the act of simply shifting them out of the present and looking back at where they are now is enough to kind of pop into the SuperCreativity Zone because Mikes thinks our creativity is sitting there waiting to be invited.

So what are some of the resources and tools for pulling out your inner genius? What are the techniques that they've used with their highest-level clients over the years to activate that center and get them in the right fit space?

You’ll have to listen or watch this episode to find out AND to hear some powerful questions that you can use to elevate your relationships with people you care about and how you can elevate anyone you come in contact with.

Living in "Easy World"

Mike and Gay's guest, Troy Lavinia, says there is a lot of work we can do to help people see the intersection between entrepreneurship and spirituality.

The world is changing and growing really quickly.

We’ve never been more inundated with information or more stressed.

Yet SO MANY of us have an incredible desire to do something creative or entrepreneurial AND are super open-minded to spirituality.

This episode will show you how AND how to take it further.

Listen to this episode to learn how you can operationalize spiritual principles to create great organizations and LIVE IN "EASY WORLD".

Mike and Gay don’t do a lot of interviews on the Big Leap so when they do, it’s always with someone really special.

Gay has known Troy for over a year and has been really impressed with the way he goes about his business.

His company is Mosaic Research Management, and they’re what's called an “expert network.”

Essentially they’re a matchmaker between investors at institutional investment firms.

For example, they may have a client who is a hedge fund analyst and thinking about investing in Nike. They may end up taking a $100 million position in Nike, so they really want to do their homework.

They'll read everything there is to read but they also want to talk to “on the ground sources”.

Troy’s company might go find the former CFO of Nike, who understands that business and its drivers, or they might find competitors of Nike who can talk about on the ground competition.

They put those people as advisors in touch with their clients for one on one telephone consultations.

By speaking with those industry experts, their clients get more knowledgeable about the business, fortify their investment thesis, and have more conviction in their investments.

Then, about a year and a half ago, they started a subsidiary business, which is recordings and transcripts of those calls.

With the permission of the experts and analysts, they’re recording and transcribing those conversations and putting them in a library so that you can go in and read them.

So if you're an analyst who wants to do the research on Nike, you can go in and read the interviews that other analysts have done about Nike to get smart on that company really quickly.

They’re advertising and monetizing this subsidiary through a subscription.

There is SO much more valuable information on this episode including Troy’s first Big Leap that involves his concept of MIDNIGHT PIZZA. (You're not going to want to miss this... it’s life changing!)

PLUS you’ll learn about creating great organizations through spiritual principles and operationalizing them AND how to start living in “EASY WORLD", where everything IS easy.

Our guest, Laura DiFrancesco is a REAL renaissance woman.

She’s a true Polymath who’s had a great deal of successes and taken a lot of incremental risks along the way.

Most importantly, she's got a POWERFUL commitment to learning.

Today’s episode is all about learning how to think and behave like a Polymath by studying the questions she asks herself.

You’ll learn the value of covering a lot of territory in yourself, opening up to those multitudes of genius and letting it express itself in many different ways.

Listen to and Watch this episode to find out How to Install a Big Leap Operating System in Your Mind.

Laura grew up in Chester County, PA on a farm with her sisters and parents.

From a very early age she was shadowing her parents at board meetings (both of them are entrepreneurs) and doing tax returns by the time she was in fifth grade.

Her dream was to become an entrepreneur.

In order to do that she triple majored in international business, finance and real estate at University of South Carolina.

She did that in three years before getting her JD and MBA at Villanova, went to work in corporate law then started her own businesses and practice.

She’s accomplished all of this and she’s only in her 30’s!

One of Laura’s seeds of genius is her FULL BELIEF in herself. One of her deepest core beliefs is whatever she is drawn to, she can do in some fashion.

Everything from getting dirty on the farm to putting in 200 hours making her own evening gown for Miss Pennsylvania, USA.

It's the idea that no matter what sparks her interest, she can do it because she has faith in herself and faith that the universe will support her in her journey.

She follows her passions and that's what's led to so many of the Big Leaps in her life.

Laura has “Jane Street Law,” which is her corporate law firm specializing in negotiating multimillion dollar transactions for all types of businesses and companies.

She also owns, “Flourish” a co-working space and her latest Big Leap is an educational platform through her personal brand.

Her intent with the educational platform is to inspire others, whether it's sharing what she knows about law, business, lifestyle, design or any number of her passions.

She also has a new program called The Vault, which is a 24/Seven access to a legal mentor.

It's as if you had a personal Google for all the legal concepts that you need in business with tons of video lessons, glossaries, guides and checklists. Everything that you need to be successful in your business.

Don’t listen to all the so-called “experts” telling you that you need to “niche down.” SO many of us are multi-passionate and it’s VERY possible to find incredible Success as a Multi-Passionate Entrepreneur.
