Hey, my friend! What is up? And welcome back to another episode of Do Life Big. I am so excited to have you here once again. And I really think that you're going to like today's episode. It's a really good one, as usual. But I'm gonna tell you, I am on Day 4 of 21 of this damn cleanse that I decided to do, like, spur of the moment, because that's how I operate. I was lying in bed one night. And I was like, “You know what, I really think that I need to detox my body. And I really think that I need to give my body a break from all the weightlifting that I've been doing because I've been doing all this crazy weightlifting now nonstop without giving my body a break since July.” And I also have been kind of slacking on the fruits and veggies, and you know, drinking a lot more than usual and all that fun stuff. And I could just feel that my body kind of needed to kickstart. So last minute, I decided to do this. So here we are on day 4 of 21. And you're hearing from someone who is, you know, going without any kind of meat in two days now, there is no sugar, there is no dairy, there is no Captain Morgan. And my body is feeling it. I woke up this morning with a headache. I know I'm going to make the corner. It's going to start to become better any day now because I've done this plenty of times over the past nine years. But men, it is rough, but it's all good.
We're gonna get through this, and it's gonna be an awesome episode. I can promise you that. And we're going to talk about today how successful entrepreneurs generate more income quickly in their businesses. You know, it's really cool because we moved to Florida about six years ago now, coming up in June from Massachusetts, and I just remember being, like, so nervous that I wasn't going to really make any friends like I thought it would be kind of hard, but it's actually so easy to meet people down here, and we've been able to form this incredible circle of friends, and they're just all amazing. And what's really cool about it is they're all freaking entrepreneurs, like they all own businesses. We hang out with all these people all the time. They have all different kinds of businesses; we're talking, you know, a cabinet company, we're talking property management companies, real estate, restaurants, CPA firms, and the list goes on and on. And when you hang out with these kinds of people all the time, you're talking about business a lot. And you're talking about growth. And you start to notice certain patterns in these people who are running these successful businesses. A lot of this that I'm going to share with you today is actually just my personal opinion, coming from the businesses that I've run, as well as the other friends and people that I've met around here who are also business owners.
The first thing that I've noticed with all of these people that own their own businesses is whatever business they run, they are super passionate and excited about it, like they are on fire and their eyes, like bugged out. When they talk to you about what's going on in their business. When we get together, you know, we'll talk about business, we'll talk about growth, and they're constantly talking about how to make it better. You know, like they're genuinely excited about what they do. And they want to improve their business because they want to make their customers happy, and they just want it to run smoothly, and they want it to just really be the best business that it could possibly be. They're not even thinking about themselves. They're thinking about how other people are affected by their business and how they're helping them, and how they can make the experience better for their customers or their clients, and what they do truly lights them up. And they believe in it so much. So they aren't afraid to tell people about what they do when they go out. Like they're not afraid to network, they're constantly networking with other people and telling people about their business and what they do because they want to spread the word to more people, they literally love it that much. And that's why most of these people who get to this level, seven-figure level, actually don't ever stop working. Because they just love what they do so much. They don't want to stop working. It's what gives them joy. It's what gives them excitement. It’s what gives them energy. It just gives them life. It's like their drug. And don't get me wrong, even though they love what they do, like being entrepreneur and doing your own thing. I mean, it's a lot of work, yes, and it can be very hard. But no matter what, you should love what you do. And the reason why this is so important is because success requires hard work. So if you don't love what you do, then you will be willing to show up and put in the work required to see the success that you want. So you'll just never be successful at it. Do something that you love, and you'll never work another day in your life. Maybe you've heard that quote before. And maybe it sounds kind of “Okay, like, come on, Kathi, this is just a little cliche here, don't you think?” I've heard this quote plenty of times before. All right, sure. Do what you love, and you'll never work another day in your life. But I'm telling you, it is true. Because if you do you really love what you're doing; it just becomes a part of who you are. And you want to do it. So you can either work really hard at something you don't love. And just keep going through the motions and just keep grinding away, letting whatever you're doing suck the life out of you. Or you can work hard at something that you love and really enjoy what you do. And you know, if it doesn't let you up, then it's probably time to just reevaluate and maybe shift because if you're not really enjoying and loving what you're doing, that doesn't bring you life. If you want to avoid talking about your job or your work, then you're probably not in the right line of work. And that's okay to at least you're realizing it. It's way better than doing what you're doing now until the day that you retire and then looking back with regrets, right? So just don't be afraid ever to look at what you're doing. And, you know, maybe make that shift and go for that thing. So that's the first thing I noticed is that these entrepreneurs truly are passionate and are excited about what they are doing. They love it.
The next thing that I noticed about these successful entrepreneurs, they really like to solve things or problems in the world. And they want to make them better. They notice there's this hole in the market, and they want to fix it, or they want to make it better. So, for example, when I decided to create my signature program called “The Mindset Accelerator,” which was designed for online entrepreneurs to help them break through their limiting beliefs that they have, that are keeping them plateaued at a certain income levels that they can finally grow to that six-figure and beyond success that they want. The reason why I created that was because I had already been an online entrepreneur for nine years. And I had seen this gap, this missing link in other entrepreneurs over those past nine years. I had seen the missing link I had seen and watched and worked with and had talked to so many different online entrepreneurs who were plateaued at their income growth for the three months to six months period. And their income wasn't growing. And they were sitting down, and they were working their business every single night. And they were getting on all the training calls. And they were 10x what they were doing. And they were doing personal development every single day. And they were, you know, keeping track of their income-producing activities and doing the things instead of just goofing off online, you know what I mean, and scrolling through Instagram and Facebook and tick-tock and all that stuff. They were doing the work, and they were so burned out. And they were exhausted because they just felt like a hamster on a wheel, spinning their wheels over and over again, doing all the things but getting nowhere, like their paychecks were not growing. And when I stepped back, I realized, “Hey, well, I know what it takes to build that six-figure business to that mark in that one-year period.” And the missing link was that they were not focusing on identifying and digging up their limiting beliefs, what is keeping them stuck, plateaued where they are and until you learn how to figure out what your needs are because we all have blind spots. You can't see limiting beliefs. So you need somebody to show you what your needs are and help you dig them up. But until you do that, you will continue to be in the same exact place, feeling burnt out and exhausted and overwhelmed and stressed out, feeling like you don't really have what it takes to build a six-figure business, and you'll be contemplating quitting. And you'll be already looking to do other things because maybe this isn't for you. And so that's why I said I need to create this program because I want to be able to teach more online entrepreneurs how to do this so that they can skyrocket their business to that success that they really want to see. That's the second thing that I've noticed about these other successful entrepreneurs that I personally know here in Florida is they also see a gap or a hole or a missing link somewhere in their industry. They want to fix it, and they want to make it better. And they just noticed a need for this in the world, or they want to do something to help other people. And, you know, sometimes people can talk about entrepreneurs owning your own business, and they can say all this stuff about money and say that it's bad, and, you know, but listen, at the end of the day, money is not bad. Money doesn't make people bad. If you give more money to somebody who's not such a great person, and they're a jerk, and they're selfish, and the world revolves around them, well, then they're probably going to be a jerk, when they become a successful entrepreneur, too. And they're going to do, you know, they're not going to do great things with their money. But if you give money to a good person, then they're going to do good things with it, right? So it's not the money that makes people bad.
Here's the other thing, too, is that things can always be improved, like things can always get better. Like there, there can always be a better and faster way, for people in this world, in whatever industry that you're in, you know, if you think way back in the day, we all started just kind of getting around by just walking around. And then next thing, you know, horses and carriages came out. And that's how people cut around, right? And they thought that that was great. And this is the way we're going to get around, measure and get around on a horse and carriage these days, Oh my God! And then next thing, you know, the car was invented, and people are like, this is great; look at how fast we can get from place to place. And the next thing you know, there's planes, and it's like, so there's always ways that you can improve and get better and get quicker at things. And this is what successful entrepreneurs do. And this is how they're able to generate their income much more quicker than the average person who's just trying to just make money, right, these people truly see a gap and they want to close the gap.
The last thing that I noticed about these other entrepreneurs that we're friends with around here is that they are extremely good at delegating, like they are extremely good at taking whatever they can off of their plate and giving it to other people on their team. Like they understand that in order to be able to make a bigger impact, help more people change more lives, grow their income, grow their company, whatever it is that they cannot be an island. And they are not wrapped up in things being perfect. They are not wrapped up in sitting there thinking, “Oh, but I know that I could do this better than this person, so I'm just going to do it myself.” And then they're stuck doing all this little itty bitty stuff. They're really good at knowing their business, knowing all the parts of their business. But they are extremely good at knowing when to hire and people to delegate things off to those people because you have to be okay with letting go. And you have to be okay with other people. Maybe not doing it as good as you're doing it. You have to be okay delegating. That's one of the biggest secrets right there.
What is something that lights you up? Really think about that for a second. And maybe if you're starting to question, “Hey, Am I really in the right line of work here? Am I doing the right business? Does this really bring me joy? Is this letting a fire in me?” Maybe you need to reevaluate. If you are having like negative thoughts come into your mind or self-doubt or any kind of limiting beliefs that are coming in, and you're having a hard time distinguishing between, Am I starting to question myself with if I'm on the right line of work, or this really just doesn't bring me joy. Like, I know I should be doing this. But if you're, if you know that, all right, I think I'm starting to sell, you know, second guess myself here. And those limiting beliefs are starting to pop in; then you should absolutely go grab my free guide that I created specifically for you. And it has a list of all the most common limiting beliefs that entrepreneurs think and what they think instead of that limiting belief so that they continue to see the success that they want and they don't ever plateau or go backwards or start to feel that self-doubt. They can stop themselves immediately. This guide is so helpful and you can go to kathireuter.com/thinkthisnotthat, and I'll put this in the show notes so that you can just go grab the link there, but you're definitely going to need that.
So start to look at your life and what you want to do. I mean, maybe even grab a pen and paper right now and write down on some things that give you a lot of energy, like, “What makes you feel amazing? What really lights you up? What excites you to talk about with people? Like when you get together with people? What do you want to talk about? Or what do you find yourself discussing with them? The most somebody that you really love?” You know, what are some problems may be that you see in the world that you wish would be better that maybe you could help with? Or how about what other people are going through right now? What are they struggling with that you can help them with? What's something that you could do for other people? What problem could you help them solve or help them navigate through? If you take the focus off of me, me, me, me, me? Like, how can I make more money? How can I get ahead and put it on other people, like helping other people really making an impact. That's always the way to go. And certainly, certainly much more fulfilling. If you're just chasing money, for the sake of chasing money. It's just not going to happen. It's no fun, and it's gonna get old really fast. So I hope that today's episode helped you out. I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for listening. You are awesome. I think you're amazing. You know I love yah, and I will see you the next time. Alright, see yah!
