Episode 61 - Are You Made For More?
Join Shaa and a few of the women from the ‘Made for More ‘cohort as they explore the role of the ‘Made for More’ Community including why it is so special and how it aids them in always pushing for more in business and in life. They talk about how having a place you can come together and be honest without fear of judgement, can be invaluable in pushing your dreams, goals and life forward. An uplifting and inspirational episode full of support, encouragement and collaboration. KEY TAKEAWAYS Having people who get you, who understand your struggles and normalise your ambition is imperative to achieve success and retain your mental wellbeing and self-belief. You can share ideas, brainstorm and just talk with understanding and support. Our path isn’t unique to us, but it might not be shared with our closest family and friends. So, finding a peer support group can really help you connect with others, to have great conversations, work with you and importantly, celebrate with you too. Belief is essential to working towards your goals. If you don’t believe you can do it, then you won’t. This is why it can be a struggle to talk to people who are held back by their own limiting beliefs and fears. You need to be around likeminded individuals who will uplift you not hold you back and this is where the right community can come into play. Women aren’t less ambitious, we just tend to have more limiting beliefs due to the way society treats us. Women aren’t less passionate or ambitious, they have just been taught fear and often worry about asking questions. Women are always trying to be the best in every area of their lives. We can unfortunately feel like asking for help is a sign of weakness but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Asking people for help is a sign of strength and it also signifies to others that it is ok to ask when you need support. Made for More isn’t about learning but implementation. Doing the work that needs to be done for everyone to get and see results. It’s important to compete with yourself and collaborate with others. Your only competition should be with yourself, we are all on our own journeys and if we can help each other by collaborating, communicating and supporting one another then we can all help each other win too. BEST MOMENTS “It’s not always easy to normalise your ambition” “When you have a high, people don’t get it. So, you then start questioning yourself. That self-belief can be really challenging to overcome, especially when they are working alone” “When you have a win, it’s a win for everybody…it’s a celebratory win for everybody and if one person can win, they we all can win” “It’s completely revolutionised everything in my business, because of all the support I have had in the group” “This is your lane and you’re going to slay it your way” VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table MEET YOUR HOST Hi, I’m Shaa.
