Episode 45 Transcript
Heather:
All right, so here's Angela. Welcome, Angela, to the show. How's it going?
Angela:
Oh my goodness, Heather, I'm super excited to be here. I love podcasts. So anytime I can on a podcast, I get excited. And when I'm with a fellow, do you know what I mean? North American continent, human being life is always very good. So, yes, I'm super excited to be here today.
Heather:
It's so good to have you. Guys, we're just chatting before we hit record. And I was like, God, I've been seeing Angela like all over the place for years. Like just, I think some of my clients have, have gone through your courses or trainings or whatever it is. And she's like, Oh good. My visibility strategies are clearly working.
Angela:
Haha, well fingers crossed you never know, but I was like, hey, I'll take I'll take the compliment today Heather
Heather:
No, it's good. I'm so glad to have you as well. And we'll talk a little bit about your podcast coming up as well soon and what you do. People will get to know you. But I love to start with the tips. And so I want you to think of a time when either your business or some of your clients' businesses, there's something that got them in the stress cycle where they're growing their business and they just are in that horrible loop you get in where you're just stressed out, overwhelmed. What are three tips that you have, or at least a few tips that you have, to break that cycle and to just ground yourself and start working smarter again?
Angela:
Yeah, one of the things that I talk often about is simply changing the environment that you're in. A lot of times because we are working from home and home also has, do you know what I mean, business, home life, community, dogs, pets, husbands, partners, whatever.
Heather:
Yeah.
Angela:
Sometimes, like I'm working with a current client in my higher end mastermind and she just said, Ang, like, I'm going to rewind a little bit. Sometimes we think it's this negative loop cycle. But other times I think it's important to understand you that you might just be having a bad week. or it could be that you're having a bad day, or it could be that you're entering perimenopause and menopause and things are, the brain fog and things are just different. It could be that your health, other health things are going on. It could be that you've got undiagnosed ADHD. I see more and more women who have undiagnosed ADHD and other genamine components that are going on. So
Heather:
Yeah.
Angela:
I guess I want to say about four, you kind of, if you're in a state of overwhelm, it could be many different things versus sometimes people like, Oh, I haven't done enough abundance. Therefore I'm having a bad day. Or this
Heather:
Yeah.
Angela:
isn't working for me. I'm like, maybe, maybe not. Right? So at first just want to cave you that is that we all had overwhelm. It's when things start to impact our home life community and our business where we have to start looking at things because normally it will start off as like a little bit of stress. Then it leads to burnout. And then it goes to a full blown mental health diagnosis. And that's what we're trying to avoid. All
Heather:
Totally.
Angela:
right. So if you are in a state of overwhelm, the first thing that I say that is quite simple to do is change the environment, move the energy. So it could be that you just go to a local cafe and you spend two or three hours there. It could be that you go and book in for a coworking day. It could be that you team up with another business and you go to each other's, like you go to their house for the day. I'm actually doing a coworking day down in the Gold Coast tomorrow with a few peers.
Heather:
Nice.
Angela:
It could also be one of the biggest ones that I see if people are able to do it. So the ones that I'm giving you now are like, You can do it in a day and shift the energy. But the one that does help a lot is if you can check into a hotel for at least two days. So like you check in on a Thursday, you check out on Friday afternoon, but you get all day Thursday to work, all day Friday to work, and then you end up at, say, home at dinner time. The amount of work you can get done, plus you can sleep, plus you can eat and you can just sit in your own thoughts, can be a game changer for women in business.
Heather:
So
Angela:
So
Heather:
true.
Angela:
if you know what I can already hear people going, what about the money? My husband or my partner, kids have school. We all have things that are going on, but it's up to you to make you a priority. And so often women are making themselves last, last in business, last in their marriage, last with their children, last, and then they start to resent things. So if it's a money thing, what I used to do when I first started off 12 years ago in business, is I would just put $10 a week into a kitty. So by
Heather:
Uh-huh.
Angela:
the time the end of that time came, I had about $120 saved, which wasn't a lot, but I had enough to go for one night. So again, two days, one night. And I didn't stay in five star places, but it was just, I needed a hotel, internet, and just change of environment. If you're able to afford new clothes and dresses and shoes and purses and necklaces and perfume and coffees and wine and everything else, you can afford to, do you know what I mean, go and do this and reset yourself. So
Heather:
Totally.
Angela:
that's kind of my first tip would be around changing the environment collectively and those are examples of how I do it. The
Heather:
Love
Angela:
second
Heather:
it.
Angela:
tip that I would say is you need to surround yourself with the tribe. Now it could be an unpaid group, it could be a paid group, I don't really care, but vibration is going to be key in this matter. What often happens as you start to grow a successful business is you start to grieve the loss of people. People no longer are where you are at. And it can be a bit lonely and it can be a bit sad. And so you've got to find people who are going to be running at a high vibration, who are going to be cheering you on, who aren't questioning, do you mean what's going on for you and your business in your life? Sometimes you let go of your uncles, you let go of friendships that once served you. So you must find a tribe of people who are never going to question you and bring you down and self-sabotage your business, but rather are going to lift you up, because vibration is everything. If you walk into your house and you're like, oh my goodness, my husband's gonna be coming home any minute, the kids are gonna be coming home every minute, and he's gonna have a bad day, and the kids are gonna have a bad day, how could it not influence your vibration and your motivation and your overwhelm? So take radical responsibility and figure out where you need to be and who you need to be surrounding yourself with. Who do you need to let go of? Who do you need to bring on? Because you shouldn't be doing business alone. And sometimes it's that loop cycle, that negative loop cycle, by being around other people and hearing their stories and new ideas that can get you out of that.
Heather:
Yep. Nice.
Angela:
And the third thing that I would say would be, I mean, there's so many, but The third thing I would probably say is, is you probably have to work on the inner work. And so I would probably be saying you're either going to need to work with a hypnotherapist or a healer to get to the root of what's really causing you to be in the state of overwhelm. So an example that I give is when I had a money block, for example, and I couldn't quite figure out why I was hitting, do you mean like getting stuck at 70 K months? And so I went to my hypnotherapy team and they said, OK, well, let's see what happens. And then I do it all on phone, by the way, so I don't go to an
Heather:
Oh yeah.
Angela:
office. I did all on phone. And they count me down and they said, when you get to zero, you'll be where you need to be. And there was a brick wall. And the brick wall had the words around like receiving. I can't remember the word. And then out of nowhere, the speech bubbles started to come out like a cartoon speech bubbles. That was like lonely, lonely. And I was like, that's interesting. But the loneliness was. And she's like, well, that's why you're not making more money. Is you have a fear that the more money you make, the more lonely you're going to be. Where does that come from? And
Heather:
That's
Angela:
that comes
Heather:
interesting.
Angela:
from seeing my mom, who is a nurse practitioner. Next time she could be was a doctor and she got addicted to pain medication. She then
Heather:
okay
Angela:
filed bankruptcy twice, gambling,
Heather:
oh
Angela:
whatever.
Heather:
wow
Angela:
And now she's like, she lost me. She lost my brother. You know, she lost all of her friends. So I've got this subconscious block and remember, 97% of the decisions that we make come from our subconscious. Those decisions are already getting made before our rational brain makes them. So for me, I was blocking my visibility. I was blocking doing things, self-sabotaging, because the more visible I became, the more money I would make, the more lonelier I would be, and I'd end up just like my mother. So the third thing that I would be saying is, is that you need to go and look at the inner work because Typically, if you're not having a bad day, if you're not going through perimenopause and all that, typically it's internal. Somewhere, somehow you've got a limiting belief or a T2 trauma that is stopping you from getting you to where you need to go.
Heather:
Good tips. Did it work when you did that inner work? Did it help you?
Angela:
So the healing work never stops. And then I also work with another type of, so there's hypnotherapists and then I also work with healers. And so they're part of my team now, pretty
Heather:
Excellent.
Angela:
much that allows me to continue to have myself at the most optimal running that I can, just like you would go to a doctor if you were sick or if you were to take nutrients. They are my nutrients, but it's just in a different way than what's traditional for business.
Heather:
that smart. I want to talk about tribe. So two questions around tribe. Number one, who is your tribe? Not where your clients hang out, but for you to fill your soul with people.
Angela:
Yeah, so I mean, there's twofold really. One is I'm actually quite an insulated person, do you know what I mean? So a lot of times my tribe in many ways is me because I'm a projector by human design. And so a lot of times I actually don't need to be around people, I need to be around myself and let my energy do mean replenish.
Heather:
Yeah.
Angela:
However, I also make it a priority that every Tuesday night I have date night with my beautiful partner Grant. And that, do you know what I mean, When I think back to my marriage, for example, after 20 years, when I asked for a divorce is that we didn't make space for that because my business started to become a priority. So being surrounded by grant is nothing but phenomenal on, I mean, all the time, but specifically when we make that time on Tuesday nights. Obviously, my ex has the kids on that night, so we're able to do that. But again, I would say don't think that you can't have a date night with kids at home. It might just look
Heather:
Mm.
Angela:
different, right? And also I, you know, I've paid close to seven, well over $750,000 in the last 10 years on personal development. So I go to different masterminds around the world. I went, I flew into San Diego for a mastermind in February. I flew back to America in March to Napa Valley for another mastermind. I'm meeting up with Amanda Daly, Tony Blanchett, Steph Taylor tomorrow down in the Gold Coast, for example.
Heather:
Yep.
Angela:
And I also run VIP events around Australia in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth. And that is around bringing high vibrational people together to laugh, hug, cry, do you know what I mean? And just be in the same room together.
Heather:
That's
Angela:
So
Heather:
so
Angela:
I've
Heather:
good.
Angela:
also made sure that I've got time for myself, time for my partner, time for my kids obviously when they're with me, time for being with, do you know what I mean, my, do you know what I mean, other cohort of people, and then
Heather:
Yeah,
Angela:
also time with my peers.
Heather:
I love that. And I love the different, I guess, areas of tribe that you're talking about as well as just being alone. Like you're your tribe,
Angela:
Mm-hmm.
Heather:
you're yourself and you, you know, it's great. Let's talk about tribe from your client's perspective because you have a lot that you offer to build and you know, communities and have tribes around you. So you mentioned a mastermind, what else do you do?
Angela:
Yeah, so I mean, my product suite is pretty simple. Do you know what I mean? Is I offer one-on-one consulting. I have a higher end mastermind for people making 20K to 50K months. And then I also have another mastermind for those who are wanting to hit their kind of first 10K months.
Heather:
Excellent.
Angela:
And the way it works though is, the way my programs work is it's kind of like an all you can eat buffet. Is that you get me for strategy, but I also have a mindset coach. We also have guest experts. We also do goal setting. We also
Heather:
Yeah.
Angela:
have a portal with different education things. We've also got hot seat calls. We also have, what do you call it? Like with the portal with everything, like everything's there. And sometimes you might wanna do the goal setting call and do the hot seat calls one month. But the next month you might wanna do the hot seat calls and attend the guest expert. It's really about what is it that you need on that particular month versus thinking you have to do everything. But also another thing that we do within our groups is we go out into breakout sessions And so that people have an opportunity to get to know everyone in the group and start to really foster and build those ongoing Relationships, so that's what I do pretty much on any given day But then I also run we've got 19 people signed up for my exclusive women in business retreat happening in Bali in October
Heather:
Have
Angela:
And
Heather:
fun.
Angela:
then I also run three Australian retreats every year Typically at the Gold Coast for three days two nights And so again, I like to do things that allow people to learn in different ways. Some people learn better in a one-on-one capacity. Some people are okay to do it in a mastermind capacity. So I like to do it in different varieties, depending on meeting the needs of what others need.
Heather:
Very smart. And on the note of overwhelm, where
Angela:
Cough
Heather:
you're
Angela:
cough
Heather:
talking about some people might join like a goal setting call and maybe, you know, hot seat or whatever it is. How do you help them choose what's best for them and simplify their experience with you?
Angela:
Right, so the first thing is that your business can't be templated. And I believe the reason why my success rates are high and the reason why my retention rates are high is that the people in my communities know that they get tailored support based on their business and their needs. So a lot of times it depends. So like today we had a hot seat call. There was about 15 people on. I had like a stylist, a clavio expert, marketing manager, a health coach, a dietician, like everyone, and they all had different things that they wanted to talk about. So it's, I don't know how to answer that because it's so specific to their businesses. But what my job is, is to ask them questions around whatever it is they're struggling with.
Heather:
Yep.
Angela:
And then from there, it's a go, okay, giving them solutions and options, and then sitting with what feels right for them and not. So often people want a cookie cut away, go on Instagram and do reels. Well, I can give that suggestion, but if they're like, and I hate being on Instagram and
Heather:
Hehehe,
Angela:
I hate
Heather:
yeah.
Angela:
reels, then it's my job as a business consultant to find a way to increase the visibility that doesn't include Instagram and do you mean reels? And so I'm very big about women creating a business that's in alignment for them. But often everyone's doing what they think they should be doing because that's what they've consumed on a podcast or that's what they've seen on an Instagram reel or whatever. I really encourage women to stop doing that. And the sooner you can get an alignment with your business and alignment with your home life and alignment with your community, the more you're going to be successful in business and life. A prime example is, again, Christmas Day, I asked my husband for a divorce. Now, it wasn't planned on Christmas Day, but he kind of pissed me off one final time. It was 11 o'clock in the morning. I walked
Heather:
Okay.
Angela:
into the bathroom, I was crying, and I was like, I am not going in to another year with this man. He never abused me, there's no drugs or alcohol, there's nothing like that, we had just expired. But I was like, whatever I am not changing, I am choosing. And so I'm the one that perpetuates the cycle, right? And so that's an example where my home life wasn't in alignment, it was weighing me down. And it's no coincidence that in March when he left last year, that March was my biggest revenue month for my business to date.
Heather:
Doesn't it say everything?
Angela:
Why?
Heather:
Wow.
Angela:
My energy shifted. Things shifted. Right? So again, really start looking at alignment. Another example I'll give you is if I ask you right now on a scale of one to ten, how burnt out you are. Ten, you're extremely burnt out. Zero, you're not.
Heather:
Mm.
Angela:
If you're anything over a six, you're not really burnt out. You're just not in alignment. And where in your life are you not in alignment? And then you need to start making the changes. Nobody's coming to save you. So if you aren't in alignment, you're the one that needs to save yourself. No one was gonna come to my front door and say, hey, I'm here to help pack up your house and get the divorce papers and change everything. No, it was me that had to do that. And so again, I really want women to stop bitching about their lives and moaning about their lives. And my husband doesn't do this, my kids do this, my kids do this, change. Often, you know, people, and I'm very blunt clearly, if you haven't noticed, but
Heather:
It's great, keep going.
Angela:
women in my group will say, like in my mastermind, they'll say maybe, you know, I'm really getting sick. You know, I feel like I'm doing everything. I'm like, okay, well, when was the last time you asked your partner for help? And they're like, well, what do you mean? They're like, well, we've been married for 12 years. He should already know
Heather:
He
Angela:
what
Heather:
should
Angela:
I need.
Heather:
know ya.
Angela:
And I'm like, yes, but if for 12 years... You've done the dishes every single night. You've actually trained him to go sit his ass down and have a cup of coffee or tea and watch the news. Because he thinks that he, that he's not doing anything wrong because for 12 years you've, that's been your behavior. But if you need him because you're overwhelmed to step in or her, depending on whoever you're married to, if you need him or her to come in, you have to communicate that to them. You have to say, honey, I know we've been doing this for the last 12 years, and I know you really enjoy this, but I'm really overwhelmed at the moment. I'm going to need you to start to do the dishes two nights a week. And I'm going to need to go to Pilates and I need to ask.
Heather:
Mm.
Angela:
If you don't ask, nobody's ever going to be able to read your mind. It's same thing with your clients. If you've got a really great email list and people aren't buying from you, then do a survey and ask them what they need. Stop assuming, stop not doing I mean, or start making up things in your head that aren't actually true. But if your partner's been trying to sit on the couch, ask.
Heather:
Same with your clients. You train your clients on how you want to be treated too, right? You pretty much train everyone.
Angela:
100%.
Heather:
So.
Angela:
And anytime you breach a boundary,
Heather:
Yeah.
Angela:
you like yourself less. It doesn't impact
Heather:
by true.
Angela:
anyone else. Your boundaries impact you. So what are you doing for you? There's a beautiful book by Jay Shetty that's just come out, The Eight Rules of Love or The Eight Laws of the Rules or something like that. It's a book that I wish all people knew, not only from a couple's perspective, but just from like, it's just a good overall book. But in that book, he talks about, do you know what I mean? Our partners. And he talks about communication and how our breakdown of communication impacts so many things in our world. And love
Heather:
Yeah.
Angela:
is one of them. And he said, it's not coincidence that our divorce rate is so high. But he also talks about high vibration, low vibration. He talks about the environment. Similar things that I've just talked to you about today. Is that
Heather:
Mm.
Angela:
he's saying, again, when was the last time you went on a date night with your partner? Or are you choosing to just sit down, both of you get on your phones and watch Netflix? No, that's okay. Don't get me wrong. I watched Netflix last night. We had movie night last night. But Grant and I are also going out for walks. We're also going out to different experiences. We're also traveling. We're also doing other things. And so I guess I share that with you because, again, we need to take responsibility for what we want in our life. But our communication is a big one where we're not doing, communicating our needs and therefore then getting really bitter and resentful. So it goes back to if on a scale of one to 10, you've got a high level of burnout, it just simply means you're not in alignment and where do you need to realign?
Heather:
point. And also I think that in those moments where you are really, let's say busy and working hard in the business, you can oftentimes, I'm not going to say get lazy, but you can fall back on old habits. And those are the times often, like you're saying, when you need the most support, you need your tribe, you need the people around you. And that's the time we need to ask. You need to ask for help. You need to define a date and night. You need to take an extra bit of brain power and go, wait a second, hold on, like stop being so reactive here. things into my life that
Angela:
Mm-hmm.
Heather:
are going to
Angela:
Cough,
Heather:
support
Angela:
cough. Mm-hmm.
Heather:
- So very cool. I want to talk a little bit more around how you work with people because you have a podcast, you have masterminds, you have retreats. Can you think of a really phenomenal case study or somebody that you've helped recently and walk us through the process of what you did to help them from A to B?
Angela:
Yeah, I mean, there's so many cool people. Again, it depends on what they want.
Heather:
Yeah.
Angela:
I can give you a case study that will talk about how I got someone, do you know what I mean, to seven figures with a twenty seven dollar product. But if you don't want seven figures and I'm in, you're just hearing another seven figure success story, I'm setting you up for failure because you think that what you want is seven figures and really you want to have a two hundred fifty thousand dollar a year business, which is light and easy with no team so that you can go to ballet so that you can go. So
Heather:
Yeah.
Angela:
I can share case studies, yes, but I don't want people to feel like that's what they, their goals should be. Because the one thing I've learned is you really need to start defining what your goals are and what you actually want in life versus what you are chasing someone else's dream. Most women don't want seven figures. They really don't. Right? But what they want is freedom and flexibility. But
Heather:
Yep.
Angela:
yet they're chasing the seven figure dream. I want seven figures, I want seven figures, I want seven figures because that's all they read. That's every Facebook ad. How to get to six to seven figures, you know? I'm not saying I haven't even talked about it myself at times, right? But it's like, no, that's not what you would need. So again, one example is during COVID, I had this beautiful lady come with me. You can listen to that podcast episode over at my podcast too. Tracy, she came to me, she runs, she's an artist, an international really known artist. She came to me because COVID came in all of her retreats in like Vietnam, Australia, everything, Mexico had to be canceled.
Heather:
Yeah.
Angela:
She said, Ang, what am I going to do? We've just lost like 90% of our yearly revenue gone. I said, okay, but you've got an audience. So again, full transparency. Uh, Trace had about 70,000 people, I think following her on Instagram at the time. She had a pretty good email list. I don't have that data in front of me, but, and I'm able to share this data too. I'm not breaching confidentiality because she's already come on my podcast because I'm very big about confidentiality too. So she came to me and said, well, listen, I said, let's put together, you've run this really great five day challenge that was free. Let's take the five day challenge and turn that into a $27 product. Let's add a bump onto it. And then let's add an OTO off the back end of that. And she's like, okay, great. And we made in four months, $714,000 in four months off of that one product. And then we ended up by the end of the year making 1.5 million off of her all her overall digital products that year When
Heather:
Excellent.
Angela:
covid was here. So that's
Heather:
Wow.
Angela:
an example another example of a client win is she uh owns a very Big campsite here in australia Um, and because she's been so hands-on. She hasn't had a holiday with her kids in forever. So Sorry, i've been sick for four months. So in addition to her having In addition to her having her highest revenue, for example, she also though, her biggest takeaway was, and I finally booked a seven day holiday for my daughter and I.
Heather:
Oh wow.
Angela:
So do you see the vast difference between,
Heather:
I do.
Angela:
yes, the $1.5 million is great, and that allowed Trace, for example, to do a whole bunch of different things. But sometimes the wins for people are, is this particular person made lucrative money too, but her biggest win from working with me was allowing me to work with her, guide her and nurture her, and remind her of that the most important thing is actually family and not money. So to me when I get those emails going, Angie I booked a holiday and I've been working with them for a year, come on just do one day, one night, whatever. And then she does it and then she calls me, do you know what I mean? Says, Angie I did it. Those are equally, if not more important wins than the seven figure wins.
Heather:
And I really liked how you answered that question as
Angela:
Mm.
Heather:
well. How you are answering all the questions gives an amazing insight into how you think and how you work with people. So
Angela:
Mm-hmm.
Heather:
that was really good. Nice one, Angela.
Angela:
So now I
Heather:
Um,
Angela:
will say that
Heather:
yeah.
Angela:
like, when people come to me, I do have this model that I work with. And I guess that's probably,
Heather:
Mm-hmm.
Angela:
do you know what I mean, how I could explain
Heather:
Yeah,
Angela:
best
Heather:
tell me.
Angela:
about how I work with people, if that's like, do you know what I mean, what you're kind of thinking about. So I'm just
Heather:
Yeah,
Angela:
pulling
Heather:
tell
Angela:
up
Heather:
us
Angela:
the
Heather:
how do
Angela:
model
Heather:
you.
Angela:
because there's four main things. When I first started working, again, because I was, that's all you know, and what you're taught is that you just need strategy, strategy. And that does work, do you know what I mean, for so long. However, I have four components. And the first part of Will's target strategy, you do need clarity, you do need a plan, and you do need accountability. The next part of the funnel though is health. We need to also be looking at your health, which is your mental health, your spiritual health, and your physical health, because health will also influence or not influence the success in your business. The other thing that we look at is relationships. Your relationships with yourself, your relationships with family, and your relationships with community. Because again, if you've got bad things going on with your relationships, including yourself with imposter syndrome, whatever, it's going to again influence or not influence your business. And the fourth thing that we look at is wealth. Personal wealth, business wealth, and generational wealth. And so when you infuse strategy, health, wealth, and relationships, that's when I bring people into alignment. And when you are in alignment, that's when the money will happen.
Heather:
Yeah.
Angela:
When you're not in alignment, money doesn't flow. So I don't look at business as one pillar. I look at business just like I did when I was an ex-mental health clinician where I used to diagnose people with schizophrenia, bipolar, etc. Is
Heather:
Oh my
Angela:
I
Heather:
God.
Angela:
have to look at all areas of life because all areas of life influence other parts of life.
Heather:
Wow. That's what you used to do. That was some in your past.
Angela:
Yes, I
Heather:
Ex
Angela:
was a
Heather:
mental
Angela:
mental
Heather:
health.
Angela:
health clinician of 15 years where yes,
Heather:
Oh.
Angela:
I was licensed in the state of North Carolina where I would yes, diagnose people with schizophrenia, bipolar, depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, etc.
Heather:
No wonder you come with this holistic background
Angela:
Mm.
Heather:
and model of how you work with people because that's what's important. That's the important piece. Like you just said, so many people approach it with strategy first, don't they?
Angela:
And strategy, don't get me wrong, you might need, so like on a hot seat call, if people are working with me,
Heather:
Yeah.
Angela:
today there was someone that did need me to review their funnel because they're about to do a launch.
Heather:
Yeah.
Angela:
But there was also another person with me who needed to talk about some wealth stuff. There was also another person with me who has just been diagnosed with multiple, hold on, I'm gonna mess this up, MS, sorry,
Heather:
Yeah,
Angela:
multiple sclerosis,
Heather:
MS,
Angela:
yep.
Heather:
yep.
Angela:
So we needed to talk to her about how can we still. How can she run her business? Well, just getting this diagnosis, but not putting too much in so that we don't impact her health, right?
Heather:
Yeah, yeah.
Angela:
We then also talked about someone who's just had a death in the family.
Heather:
Right.
Angela:
And so then we talked about, okay, well, what do you need to do around your health, your mental health and your spiritual health in order to make sure that that's safe and you're safe and that you can continue with the business. So it's, and that's what I mean is I don't cookie cutter. I have to listen to what's going on with each of these women's businesses. And then we have to keep adapting their strategy based on what's going on any given month.
Heather:
Yeah smart. Wow okay so I do want to ask you a ritual question, your ritual on how you stay grounded because you have a man you have a lot going on but you're good with your time I can tell
Angela:
Mm.
Heather:
and how you block out chunks to take care of yourself. What are some of your best rituals or most important rituals to keep you going?
Angela:
Listen, I'd love to say that I have rituals, but rituals also, I think, lead to failure in many ways because then we can't keep up with the rituals. So I'm mindful that when I talk to you about what I do, again, that what works for me might not work for you. And it's important that if you're like, I'm going to walk for 30 days and you get to day seven and day eight and you don't walk, you then don't go into the same cycle of shame and then stop walking because you didn't make the 30 days. So for me, what I do for grounding is again, spending quality time with people who are high vibrational people. It's
Heather:
Yeah.
Angela:
like a non-negotiable. I will not hang out with people that are going to bring me down. I don't go to family events. I just go, sorry, we won't be coming. I've made a ground for what's important. So one, sit around in myself with high vibrational people. Two, making time for myself. It's inevitable. I'm a projector, as I said, as a human design, so I may need to do that. Three, I do a lot of travel. But I do it because I love experiences. And when I have experiences, I feel enriched, and I feel, do you know what I mean, enlightened. So I also do that. And it is a ritual, because I do travel almost once a month. And it's either I'm traveling once a month somewhere, or I'm just checking into a hotel. Either way, it's part of my self-care to get out of my house and go and see and do something new. From a daily perspective, At this given moment, at time of recording, I've been meditating every day for the last 51 days. For the first 30 of those days, well since beginning, last two years, I've also been trying to journal every day, but I've stopped journaling for the last 30 days because I've been sick for the last four months and I was like, okay, if I have to choose one or the other, which one helps me the most meditation does.
Heather:
There you
Angela:
So
Heather:
go.
Angela:
for me, I pop the journaling to the side, doesn't mean I won't pick it back up, but sometimes you just have to go with the ebbs and flows.
Heather:
Mm.
Angela:
Um, I'd love to say I have a gym routine. I go to Pilates when I can, but again, I've been really sick for the last four months. So Pilates have been off the books, but if I'm not sick, then I will go to two to three Pilate classes a week. But I guess what I'm trying to say is I have nothing that's set because if my kids get sick, then I get shitty that I can't do my ritual. Right? Because literally if they're freaking puking and I have a Pilates class, I'm not getting to the Pilates class. Like that's, that's just how freaking life is.
Heather:
And
Angela:
Do
Heather:
then
Angela:
you know
Heather:
you
Angela:
what
Heather:
don't want
Angela:
I mean?
Heather:
to beat yourself up about it exactly because
Angela:
It was
Heather:
you
Angela:
exactly
Heather:
can't control
Angela:
right. So
Heather:
- Yeah.
Angela:
I'm just trying to say like, again, rituals are great to some degree, but it's like do more of what makes you feel good.
Heather:
Yeah.
Angela:
I do practice daily gratitude every day. That is the one thing that I will say that I've practiced for a very long time. I have a British bulldog named Grateful
Heather:
Oh
Angela:
and we called, I called her Grateful specifically so that if my kids called her Grateful 50 times a day, that they would hopefully understand the importance of gratitude. So I do practice gratitude every single day. And that's just three little prompts in my brain. Typically, I'll say in the morning, what would make today great? And I talk about what would make today great. And then I go into what are three things I'm grateful for? And I typically will do three things I'm grateful for in the morning and three things that I'm grateful for right before I go to bed. And the reason why I also enforce it in the morning because you start off on a good, do you mean energy? And I do it at night because you're entering into REM sleep and unconsciousness, right? And so that then marinates in your brain. And if it marinates in your brain, then the impact that it has on a physiological perspective of your body embodying it also has an impact. So I prefer to put my phones down at night. And those are like the last things that I do in order to really make sure that that's, I'm going to sleep with that in my brain.
Heather:
There we go, that's it, you guys. Okay, wow. How do people work with you? And more importantly, who do you work with? So let's start with who you work with and how can they learn more about you and work with you if they want to.
Angela:
Yeah, so listen, much to everyone's dismay is I don't necessarily have a niche. And every mentor that I've worked with, I worked with a $45,000 mentor last year. And he's like, yep, you're one of the few people that can pull this off. And so I work with dentists. I work with lawyers. I work
Heather:
Yep.
Angela:
with physios. I work with kinesiologists. I work with stylists. I work with dieticians. I work with content creators. I work with Facebook ads teams. I work with agencies. I'm just trying to think, gosh, Clavio experts,
Heather:
Wow.
Angela:
like it's not one cohort because again, I believe my framework because it's not cookie cutter allows me to work with any of these businesses across the board.
Heather:
Mm-hmm.
Angela:
And so I did that. So I work with predominantly I do work with women. I'd say 1% of my population is men
Heather:
Okay.
Angela:
and they typically will only work with me one-on-one because my groups are for women specifically. And then there's three types of cohorts that I work with. There's those women who are in the startup stage. So they already have a business, they already have some products, they're already making some money, but they really wanna kind of nail consistent and get to consistent 10K months. Then I work with people who are kind of like that 10 to 20K months, all the way through to 50K months. And that's normally around businesses needing to bring on team and learning to optimize a little bit more. And then I work with businesses who are making, do you mean 50 plus? Well, I'm actually working with a business right now who's just making under 400K per month. do you know what I mean? So there are, do you mean a variety of businesses that I work with.
Heather:
Whoa,love it. Yeah.
Angela:
So, but it's about making sure that we're creating a personalized strategy for you and your business that you're in alignment with, while at the same time mastering your mindset in the inner work in order to accelerate and optimize for business growth.
Heather:
And should they, what should they do? Listen to your podcasts, some, some
Angela:
Oh
Heather:
great
Angela:
yeah,
Heather:
content
Angela:
so I
Heather:
on
Angela:
guess
Heather:
your site.
Angela:
again,
Heather:
Where
Angela:
it's
Heather:
do
Angela:
like,
Heather:
they go?
Angela:
again, it just depends on what you want. Again,
Heather:
Yeah.
Angela:
you'll know the listener out there right now will know what they want. So I always say head to my website, which is Angela Henderson dot com dot au. And
Heather:
Perfect.
Angela:
from there, it's like that all you can eat buffet. If you want to work with me one on one or you want to join my mastermind book and discovery call, you want to listen to my podcast, the online Jimmy and business show with Angela Henderson, listen to the podcast. If you want to connect with me over on Instagram, connect with me over on Instagram. You choose what's going to work for you and what's in alignment for you, and I'll meet you halfway.
Heather:
Perfect Angela, thank you so much. Before we say goodbye, are there any last thoughts that you wanna leave listeners with?
Angela:
Gosh, I would just say that again, whatever you are not changing, you are choosing. So again, choose wisely because every single day that we're on Earth side anyways, is a blessing. And there are too many people that we lose very unexpectedly. The one last, excuse me, last thing I'll say is in regards to if you were on your death bed and you only had 24 hours to live, what would your regrets be? My regrets a couple of years ago was that I would remain married to my husband at the time. and that I didn't have a bulldog. Those are pretty much, that was it. You know, and as warped as it sounds, as in you want us to think about our deathbed, the reality of it is any one of us could be on our deathbed tomorrow. So whatever you are not changing, you are choosing, and really think about what would you regret if you were on your deathbed and start making some changes to not have that happen to you.
Heather:
And on that note, you guys, thank you so much for tuning in. Angela, thank you so much for sharing so many. I loved first of all, how you answered my questions. Brilliant. And then all the amazing advice that you gave to everyone. It's been an absolute pleasure having you on the show. Thank you so much.
Angela:
Thank you so much for having me. It's always a, it's a privilege to be on anyone's podcast. So I appreciate you inviting me on and I wish you a beautiful day.
