147: From Reader to Implementer at the Think Big Insider Session

Welcome to the Time to Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Andrea Liebross. Each week, I focus on the systems, strategy, and big thinking you need to CEO your business and life to the next level. Are you ready? Let's go.

Hello, my friends and welcome back to the Time to Level Up Podcast. Can you believe it? We've gotten to October. That means that She Thinks Big: The Entrepreneurial Woman’s Guide to Moving Past the Messy Middle and Into the Extraordinary is live and available to purchase. You can go to shethinksbigthebook.com to get the link to do so and then to access all of your special Think Big Insider goodies.

One of those goodies is the opportunity to attend the Think Big Insider session, which is happening on Zoom on October 10th. If you purchase the book and you put your order number into the form on that shethinksbigthebook.com page, you are going to get your free registration to the Think Big Insider session, which is what I want to talk about today.

I want to talk about why it's important that you become what I call a Think Big Insider. Becoming a Think Big Insider is really shifting from being just a consumer, someone who listens to podcasts, reads books, and gets the opinions of all the people into a creator. Someone who translates that reading into actions, someone who shifts from just listening into doing, someone who yes, asks others' opinions and wants to hear what they have to say, but then can sift through it and decipher the actions that they need to take or want to take.

That is what we're going to talk about and I'm going to teach you in this Think Big Insider session. It's going to serve as a jumping-off point, as a foundation for you to take the reading and start to implement, for you to go from consuming content to creating results, from moving from that small thinking into the big thinking but then getting even bigger results by taking the actions that lead to them.

You need to be at this Think Big Insider session, and remember, it is free with the purchase of a book. If you haven't gone to shethinksbigthebook.com, you need to head over there right now, purchase, come back, put your order number in, and out pops your registration for this session.

Now if you're listening after October 10th when the first Think Big Insider session is happening, that is okay, still go and put your order number in because I'm going to be doing it again or this one might even become what I call evergreen. You might be able to even listen to the replay.

If you do register for the October 10th one and you can't make it, you will have access to the replay within 24 hours. Those are just the logistics behind the scenes, but let's get into what's going to happen in that insider session.

Here's what's going to happen on that insider session: we're going to talk about what I think you want, what I think you perceive the problem to be, what I think you perceive the solution to be, what results are created by implementing that perceived solution.

But then we're going to talk about what's the real problem, the actual problem, and what's the actual solution. I'm going to share with you the three secrets that you need to know to implement that actual solution, the skill that you're going to develop along the way, and the results that are going to be created.

Here's the thing: what I think you want is more success, more time, more freedom, more money, and more control and less guilt, less confusion, less burden, and less dread. You want to be able to do what you say you're going to do with confidence. That's what you want. You want results too. You want those results of success in time, freedom, and energy. You want the result of feeling like you've got this.

But what happens is that we perceive the problem to be that we don't know enough, that we're not talking to the right people, or that things are just getting in the way somehow. So we go into this mode of seeking more knowledge. We read books, we listen to podcasts, we ask millions of people what they think.

That perceived solution to the problem of not knowing enough, the perceived solution of reading, consuming, listening, and asking, really, what that does is that it might lead you to more confusion, more frustration, and have an unmanaged mind where you just don't know what to do.

A lot of times after I read a book or I listened to a podcast, I’m like, “Yes, those were great ideas but how do I actually make them happen?” That is why I'm doing this insider session to help you move from just learning more to actually doing more, taking actions. I don't mean like hustling and torturing yourself, no, what I mean is taking actions that are going to get you the results you want.

The real problem here is not that you don't know enough, but the real problem is that you're not necessarily committed, you're just interested and there's a whole section in the book on that, that you're staying safe, and there's a whole part in the book on that, that you're taking the easy route, and there's a part of the book on that, or you just want things to be comfortable. There's a part on that. Or you're not believing in yourself. There's a part on that on belief plans.

Those are the problems and you're acting from your past and present self, you're not taking actions from your future self. The solution I'm going to share with you in this insider session, the solution to being committed, to being okay with hard, to being okay with feeling a little bit uneasy, to believing in yourself no matter what, I'm going to share with you the three secrets that you need to know in order to do that inside the insider session.

When we do this work, here's what happens: we become a different person. We become someone who does what they say they're going to do. We become someone who is competent, we become someone who is committed, and we shift, we change things, we create change in our own lives and businesses, we see the progress. We will be able to say without a doubt who you are, what you do, and what you create.

This is why it is so important to go from being just a reader, just a listener to an implementer, to an action taker. This is the difference between passive action and massive action. If you're stuck in this passive action mode, if you keep consuming, learning, and listening, but you're not getting anywhere, it's because you're stuck in passive action mode. You're stuck in that reader mode.

It's time now to take the actions because the actions are what lead to the results. Remember, there's the circumstances and you've got thoughts about them, which create a feeling and those feelings drive your actions which lead to your results.

I'm going to give you the three secrets to creating the thoughts and the feelings you need to take the actions to get the results you want and you need to be there. At the end of this insider session, here's just a little sneak peek, I'm going to make an offer to you that is kind of an offer that you don't want to miss. It's something pretty good.

I'm going to give you a little hint, it's going to help you turn this vision into action and it's also going to help you elevate yourself. It's going to help you do things now and it's also going to help you do things moving forward into the future.

Here's another little hint: in January, I'm going to have a live event in Indianapolis, a night and day-long live event. She Thinks Big Live: Action to Extraordinary, I want you to be there. If you hop on this Think Big Insider session in October, you're going to get an offer you're not going to want to refuse and you're going to want to be there in January.

Here's the scoop, my friend: number one, go to shethinksbigthebook.com. Purchase the book. Number two, go back to the page, enter your order number. Number three, you're going to get a link to the Think Big Insider session in October. Number four, you're going to shift from being just a reader to an implementer, just a consumer to a creator, just to someone who potentially can think big but wants bigger results.

I'm going to teach you how to do that. I'm going to show you those three secrets with you. Then at the end of that session, last thing, I'm going to help you figure out how to continue to do this. It doesn't just last a day. This is something that we're going to continue to work on together. You're going to want to be there, shethinksbigthebook.com. Have an amazing, amazing day, week. I will see you next week. This is your time, really this is your time. We've made it. This is your time to level up. I will see you soon.
