Ep. 02 Taking the Front Seat in Your Biz

Hello, and welcome to another episode of Caffeinated with Kas! I'm so glad you guys can join me here today. I said from the start last time that I will be talking about the good, the bad, and the ugly, so here I am. Now by you listening to this, I know you are a creative person. And here's the thing, we all have creative essence in some way or form. The reason why we don't take that leap and feel the calling of creativity to start the business or show up online, or start your YouTube channel, or whatever it may be, is simply because we are afraid. It's the root of the reason why we are feeling all these things, we can come up with every single excuse ever- it's really just because we're afraid.

The goal is really to break down getting through that imposter syndrome in your business, and understanding how powerful your plan A is, and learn my 3 W's method.

The "what ifs"

We go through the state of analysis paralysis, and we can't even take action yet because we've all these questions and the thoughts AKA: the what ifs.

"What will people think, my friends or family?"

"What if it fails?" Or my biggest issue was,

"what if it succeeds?"

So this creative idea that you have, it's essentially your fragile baby. It's your experiences in your life up to this point that it led you to want to express it in some sort of creative way, then naturally, we get really sensitive about that.

Scratch "Plan B"

Even when I started my business, I have people (to this day) telling me, do "this" instead? Or "have you looked at this person's work that's doing something similar to you", or "what is your plan B".

I had to learn to block it all out, because I needed to build my own context. It's not fair to me that I would be looking at somebody else's things, when I don't have my own context built out yet. If I allowed myself to dwell on the other person being better, or what my plan B would be, I wouldn't allow myself to 100% be in my creative essence and 100% be in the direction that I naturally had to take to get to my own calling.

It's GOOD to not be like the 90%

Every time you are starting something new it's terrifying, you're probably going to fail- the chances of you failing is pretty high. The first time you try to stand when you're a baby, you fall, and the first time you show up on video, you're probably going to stumble on your words. And believe it or not, the amount of times that I've created a whole offer and failed is unreal.

But the thing is, when you fail, how are you going to react to that. This is why 90% of businesses don't last after a year, because they rush things. And the second issue is that they don't know what to do after they fail, then this is where you need to pick it up and learn from the mistakes that you made and make it 10 times better for next time.

The REAL "what if"

So what happens if you do start this business or if you do start this creative thing, and in one year, you are living your dream life?

Whatever that might look like to you, surrounded by the best people, the best energy and you're absolutely living in the direction that you always wanted.

I need you to remove that idea of Plan B and I want you to 100% focus on Plan A.

The 3 W System

I want you to write down your three W's: Who, What and Why. This is going to be the beginning of building your bullet proof foundation. No one is going to have the same answers as you, this is why your creative essence is so unique, and your experiences are so unique.

1. Who are you doing this for? We are trying to help someone that has parallel experiences and values to us, that is called by the problem you are fixing. Who is that?

2. What the heck are you doing? What is it that you're bringing to the table? What is the digestible value that the people we are targeting can actually take in?

3. You need to know in your heart, why are you doing this? Why are you wanting to start this journey? Why do you have something to bring to the table?

REPEAT AFTER ME:

I'm ready to create more success in my life and release any excuses. I welcome my create essence, and trust in myself.
