I have one; an article I was interviewed for with Inc. Magazine was released today: https://www.inc.com/claire-cameron/i-feel-like-a-better-manager-6-c-suite-execs-share-how-ai-is-transforming-how-they-lead/91238424

Or, what’s something you’re still working through? Be honest.

It’s worth the read if you want to get unstuck and feel like you’re already doing many of the business things we teach but still off track - Scaling your business isn’t just about learning business. To be an Olympic level expert (which is the theme for Speak Your Way To Cash® Live) you need more than business knowledge… When I really started growing—like multi-seven-figures, team-building, legacy-level growth—there were three key things that helped me scale that had nothing to do with sales strategies. And I want to share them with you right here: 👉🏾 1. Believing I could grow a big business. I’m not talking about writing a goal down and calling it manifestation. I mean truly, deeply believing it was mine. I stopped idolizing other people’s growth and started expecting mine. I had to train my mind to believe that what I saw in prayer, in my imagination, and in my dreams was already mine—even before it made sense on paper. 👉🏾 2. Only keeping friends and colleagues around who wouldn’t discourage me. Low key: the more I believed in myself, the more I noticed how uncomfortable that made other people in discouraging me. But I had to choose growth over comfort—every time. I stopped explaining myself to people who were committed to misunderstanding me and started nurturing relationships with folks who could hold space for my ambition without shrinking me. 👉🏾 3. Buying information. I don’t have to know everything. My coach once told me, “In 10 years of running this program, Ashley asks the best questions.” My coach told me that yesterday on a panel and that stuck with me. I made a decision to stop performing like I had all the answers and instead ask better questions and buy better mentorship. Because the quality of your questions determines the quality of your life. I became confident enough to look small in the room (and ask for help)… And comfy enough with my assignment to ACT big anyway. 🤷‍♀️ 💥 BONUS: Want to know what I study beyond business to build unshakable confidence? Here are 3 things:
