Welcome to the Rebecca Adehill Podcast. I wanna start off by saying that I want my name to remind you to go and live your life big, to take risks, to go all in and write one hell of a story with one life. You know that you have. I'm a seven figure business mentor, wife and mother of three, and I'm here to share my journey with you as I am constantly moving in the direction of more, more bigness, more impact, more wealth, more depth, and more life.
My aim with this podcast is to activate and inspire you to go and live your life big in the fullest, most passionate way. I'm so glad that you are here, so let's dive right in.
Hello everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the Rebecca Adehill podcast. I hope that you are having the most magical start to your week. I am. Feeling like all of the good vibes and all of the good energy at the moment. I just had a call with my incredible girls inside of myself made Mastermind and I shared with them how much I have been laughing with my clients over the past few weeks.
We always have a good time, but I, I find myself just feeling a lot of joy and a laughter and, and having a lot of fun with my clients at the moment. And it makes the whole process so much more fun and enjoyable. And I did mention this specifically to all of my women who are business coaches than mentors, that it gets to be freaking fun along the way.
We get to laugh, we get to really enjoy the ride. And regardless of what industry that you're in, I just wanna open up this episode by saying that have a bit of fun, like really start laughing some more and I. I was in stitches with one of my private clients earlier this week because our conversation, it was just, it was so funny.
But yet we, we, we are getting shit done and we are working through things, but only because we are having brainy conversations and we, we are gonna go places. That does not mean that we have to be serious every step of the way, that we can laugh and we can enjoy, and we can share a beautiful moment together, which makes the whole process so much more fun.
And I just wanna say that I am so here for that now. In today's episode, I wanna have a conversation with you. I'm actually, again, having a bit of a giggle at myself because of the topic I've decided to speak about today. Because if I'm looking back at my upbringing, if I'm looking back at like one major part of my personality, Maybe growing up I questioned whether this was like a good thing about me or not, or a couple of things.
But now I spoke to my mom early this week and I was like, see, I worked out good at the end. All of the stuff that we questioned about me, I turned up pretty good. So, Over the past four weeks, I have made over $135,000 in revenue, like cash in the bank, $135,000 plus over the past four weeks. And I think I mentioned this earlier in an earlier episode as well, that, you know, this is more than quarter of a million dollars in sales.
So I've had a, a phenomenal kind of growth. Spurt in, in my business, and, and this is also a, a record month for me and I just wanna take a moment and really celebrate that. As you know, by now, I'm definitely one to normalize conversation around money, but I think this type of wealth and. You know, these kind of results, they're becoming quite normal to me, and maybe they are very out of your reach right now.
If you are listening to this or maybe you are coming closer to it, and regardless of where you are at right now, I, I really want you to own where you are at currently. If I'm looking back at my journey, something that I've really owned all along was to really celebrate and own where I was at at the time.
And I think my ability and why I can move and move and move to new levels is because of the normalization around the level that I'm currently at. The conversation I wanna have with you today, and I actually put a, an Instagram story up on this last night, and. Speaking to the fact of what the byproduct is of my 135,000 plus dollars, you know, month and the byproduct.
I actually wanna list a few off for you because I feel like there's a bit of a pattern going on at the moment in the online world that there we are. We are so scared of working hard and we are so. Loving the whole living on the beach, never working, and it's very much like. Taboo to kind of work hard.
And I'm not saying that we are gonna drive ourselves to complete burnout. I just wanna highlight that I'm not one this stands for, let's fucking go for it. Let's run ourselves into the wall and all or nothing kind of approach. It's not my vibe. However, when I'm looking back at my journey, when I'm looking back at the rapid growth that I've had that did not come from me.
Just cruising my way through these past like few years, or even seven years I've been in business and I think I know I have specifically been doing business coaching for the past couple of years, but in saying that I've had my businesses for the past seven years, so it's been like one hell of a journey since I started my first ever business.
The first thing that I wanna say, and before I even dive into the things I wanna share with you right now, I want you to pay attention to what I am telling you, and some of these things you have without a doubt heard before, but this time it's not going to be about how many times you've heard it in the past.
It's actually about what you do with the information I am giving you. I wanted to pay attention to what I just said. It's not about how many times you've heard the same thing over and over again. It's about what you do with the information that you have. Because if all of us did, everything that we knew was gonna be absolutely brilliant for our lives and our businesses and our health and our marriages and all the rest of it, our lives would look very different.
So the information that I'm about to give you, I want you to see if you can listen and absorb the information a little bit differently this time to see if you can implement whatever I'm gonna share with you a little bit differently this time. So the first thing that I'm gonna share with you is my consistency over the past couple of years, specifically, not once have I taken the foot off the gas.
Not once. What I did in the beginning is that I was very clear of how much time and energy I was willing to put into my business When I made that commitment to go, I'm happy to put 15 hours a week into my business, or if it's 20 hours now, it's probably closer to 20, 30 hours per week I'm spending inside of my business right now.
I. As soon as I decided of how much time I was willing to put into the business, I made a commitment to myself that I was going to be consistent no matter what. Nothing like there is nothing that could stop me in my way because I made a commitment to myself and I decided to be consistent no matter what, even when I did not yet have the evidence.
To where I wanted to go. It's a very key aspect here. Who are you when you don't yet have the evidence for where you are going, when you have not yet seen the results to where you wanna go? Now that's a very good indication of how anchored and solid you actually are because we get so caught up in seeing the results and then getting invalidated from the results.
So who are you being before? You actually have the tangible results in your hands, and can you remain consistent throughout that process? That's the first thing. The second thing is my never giving up mindset. Never will I give up. The only time I can fail is when I give up. So for as long as I don't give up, I'm winning.
Because if I haven't given up, I am moving. Even if I am moving slow. Even if you are moving at a snail pace right now, you are still moving. And if you make a commitment and a promise to yourself that you will not give up, you will get there. 100% you will get there. And I have full confidence that I will achieve everything that I desire because I have made a commitment and a promise to myself that I will never give up.
And when that is a non-negotiable, when that is instilled in you, there is no option for you to quit. And if I'm not quitting, I'm not losing. And when we are not even making that a choice of ours, we are gonna keep on moving. And when we keep on moving, the likelihood of us getting to where we wanna go will be far greater then us not moving at all.
The third thing that I wanna mention is, That I am showing up even on the days when I don't feel like it, that my business does not run off good vibes. Maybe I'll bring the good vibes to you, but I'm not just gonna show up. When I have a beautiful day full of like unicorns and rainbows and butterflies, I show up.
Even when I'm feeling emotional, even when I'm feeling down, even when I'm feeling annoyed and pissed off and tired, I make time for rest. I make time to like deal with the shit I gotta deal with, but I still show up to work. Imagine if you haven't had a shop front. And you only showed up to work when you were like in the mood.
Your business will crumble pretty quickly. And if you let your emotions dictate the way you lead yourself inside of your business, you are not gonna last in the business space for very long. So a muscle that we need to train is our ability to show up even on the hard days, to show up on the days when we don't feel like it.
That is called building up a level of resilience, not building a business on good vibes. That foundation is not solid, and if you are here to build a really solid business, That is going to last for many, many, many years. You cannot rely on good vibes. Full stop. Now, if you have the ability to bring a really fucking good attitude to your workplace, even when you have a shit day now, that's leadership.
That's leadership. To be able to leave your shit at the door when you step into work and not take your garbage with you. That's leadership. And that is something that I've been able to master. The other thing that I wanna share with you, as we all have this beautiful opportunity to be surrounded by incredibly talented people who run their online businesses, we have so much content at our fingertips.
So maybe it's really easy for us to. Start to look right, start to look left, and start to look at what everybody else is doing. Now that's gonna slow down your pace because you are spending a lot of your time being distracted. Looking at someone else's vision, looking at what they are doing, taking some of their stuff, taking some of their stuff, blending that into yours.
And then you're moving with that. Now, what's gonna happen if you do that is that this may not even align with your vision. So being able to staying in your lane, and this is why before we even stay in a lane, we have to be really freaking clear to where we wanna go. So we know what lane we wanna take.
But if you don't know what lane you wanna take, That's probably why you're not moving at a rapid pace because at the moment you're trying to run on like five different tracks at the same time and you are like, why am I not moving? Like think about like a racehorse. All they focus on is to run forward straight because they know where they're going and the jockey on that horse, they know exactly where they're going and that's their focus.
But if we start to look right, if we start to look left, if we start to get distracted, that's gonna slow us down. So mastering being able to stay in your lane and trusting yourself in that moment, that whatever you are putting out to the table will be good enough. My question for you right now, do you trust yourself?
Do you back the things that you wanna share with the world? Do you back your expertise? This is the first step, taking ownership over that. Because the moment you are taking ownership of the words that you speak and of the work that you do, their distractions on the side, they will just be distractions and they will become so not relevant or important to you because you're like, I'm not gonna waste my time looking right, looking left.
Like I spend minimal time. Looking at what other people are doing because it's not my path. So I don't spend my time like looking at what other people are doing because I know it's gonna slow me down. Because the best thing that I can do right now is to focus on me and focus on my path and focus on where I am going the next thing when we are, when I mentioned earlier, do you believe in, in your expertise on the things that you are sharing with the world, the ownership and the authority?
Also comes from having a really deep understanding and knowledge of your audience, knowing where they're at, knowing where they're going. So if you can master, I want every single person that are listening to this podcast, every single person that consumes my content. I want them to feel like I am speaking directly to them, that I'm speaking directly to you.
Because I have a really deep understanding of who my audience is and how I am serving them. Now, when I know that, when I know that really well, and I show that to my audience, that is also going to give me the authority and the ownership and the credibility in the space. And also it's going to give me the credibility for the people that I'm here to serve.
They're gonna feel that when I'm speaking directly to them. And one other thing that I actually don't wanna shy away from is how important your strategy actually is. Like looking at your business model. First of all, look at at the financials of your business. And if you are not even on top of your numbers, if you are not one to sit down and crunch your own numbers every single month, I, I, that's your homework for the week.
Go and look at your numbers. Go and look at your business model and see where perhaps we have a leak, where you are not aligned. The financial goals you, you have for your business. How are you meeting them and what's the strategy and the roadmap there? That I see way too many businesses completely and totally just winging it.
I'm just gonna try that and I'm just gonna try that and I'm just gonna try that. We are just like throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping it's gonna stick and I love a bit of flow and I love to be, you know, allowing for that spaciousness inside of our businesses to allow for us to be creative, to do something.
You know, we with innovation and do something new that maybe something we haven't tried before. I love to live in room for that, but I still have a really solid strategy and client journey that is the core foundation of my business. That my numbers and the revenue that I'm making is just not just like made up and be like, whoops, that just happened.
Like I can see it very clearly. It's very calculated how that's gonna happen now. Can I control whether that's gonna happen or not? No, I can't because I can't control whether people are gonna hit by or not. And that leads me to my next point. I control the things I can control. I can't control whether people are gonna buy from me or not, but I can control how I market my business, how I show up in my business, who I be inside of my business and in my life.
There are so many things that I can control. So I don't focus on the things that I can't control, but I wanna highlight this. When it comes to the financial goals that you have inside of your business, stop winging it. Get really clear on the financial goals that you have inside of your business. See what the gap currently is, and work out the gap and align that with the real and solid strategy and a really anchored human behind the business.
And commit to yourself that you are going to be consistent and don't slow down or stop no matter what. You will get there. You will get there. It doesn't matter how big your goals are. If you are sitting at, I'm gonna say a four 5k month right now and you wanna get to 10 k, whatever got you to like 5k, maybe you can get to 10 K with the same strategy.
But I'm gonna argue if you are sitting at 20 K, 30 k wanna get to 100 K, the same strategy won't get you there. Maybe not even the same business model will get you there. So, Now I wanna lean into your ability to be able to pivot your business model to actually suit the financial goals that you have set for your business.
Because maybe right now the business model that you are currently operating in is actually not supporting the. AK month. So look at that because then you're gonna feel less emotional about the numbers inside of your business and you're gonna feel more anchored because they are rooted and grounded in strategy.
The next thing that I wanna share with you, that I have a zero excuses policy inside of my business. Zero excuses all ownership. And responsibility for everything in my business. Zero excuses. I don't wanna hear them, Rebecca. I don't hold space for them. Zero excuses because I know that's a standard I need to hold myself at if I wanna get to where, where I wanna go.
And that's not gonna be for everyone. I've mentioned this on another podcast that I could have so many excuses as to why I'm tired, as to why I'm this, as to why I'm that. But I'm not, because I have a zero excuses policy inside of my business. And I am telling you it's working wonders because I don't hold space for all of the excuses and all of the uh, uh, inside of my business.
It's like, okay, where are you at? Where are you going? What are we gonna do today? How are you gonna move the needle today? This is discipline. Discipline. Like when did discipline like not become a thing anymore? Can someone please tell me that when that did not become a vibe, tell me one successful person that did not have to instill a level of discipline in order for them to get to where they wanna go.
This goes with any career, any talent, any musician, any athlete, any entrepreneur, anything. Discipline because I believe the moment you are instilled in discipline is actually when you set yourself free. Having a routine, having discipline, making a commitment to yourself, that to me is freedom. The other thing that I wanna share with you is something that I've found really important, but it's also an art in terms of how to truly master this.
In terms of the normalization around this kind of wealth and any level of success and your, your next level and where you are at currently, that if you make it out for it to be lack or a fluke, or if it's, oh, maybe that has happened once and it will never happen again. Most likely that's true because you hold that belief, but I believe it must be a level of normalization that comes with every level that you are at.
That if this feels really shaky and uneasy and it can feel unfamiliar, but we are gonna have to learn to really identify what that feeling is. But in order for you to be able, not just to like grow, but to even hold the level that you are at currently, if you are someone in business right now, that you go up and down and up and down, you have a good mum, and then going down and then up and then down, and then up and down.
Maybe we need to do, there could be two things. Maybe we need to do some energy work behind the scenes, or there could be a level of strategy that, or it could be a combination of, of the two. But if you have constant like spikes and dips and spikes and dips, maybe it could be a strategy thing. But I also believe in the normalization around the level of success that you are available for.
So I make it very obvious, very clear, and very normal to be at the level that I'm at. And also I'm getting very clear in terms of what I need to do to realign myself to the level I am going. Key part right there. The final thing I wanna share with you today, and the reason why I had a bit of a chuckle earlier in the beginning of this episode, I believe this trait in me and in any entrepreneur if you are listening to this, I have a feeling we are gonna have this one in common, and that is that I am so.
Competitive. I am so competitive. It's like almost ridiculous. And I have been competitive for as long as I can remember and my fellow sisters out there. If you are competitive, can you just like, please drop into my DMS and let me know because I need to like find more people. I am so fucking competitive, like ever since I was like a little kid and I think this is like instill from, you know, my brother and I.
We grew up playing sport. Both of, you know, our parents, they played sport their whole life. And you know, we come from a very kind of competitive family and my dad was always one to like push me to my next level. And he, he always, he's so beautiful. He's always had so much faith and trust in, in me and whatever success and whatever goal life set out.
It was like obvious to him that I was gonna make it. And you know, we can look at these from like both ends of the spectrum right now that it's like, that's a really positive, and also maybe this makes sense where, you know, I'm, I'm somewhat addicted to achievement. That's a story for another time. But I remember a couple of times he would like have congratulate me for getting my driving license, like before I'd even set my driving test.
And he congratulated me on a job and he like called up, you know, my mom or like a couple of friends and told me that I got in a job, but I haven't even done the interview yet. It was like assumed that I would get all of the things that I set my mind to, which I'm really appreciative of that today. But I think it did instill like a level of pressure in, in, in me performing.
But looking back at that now, and even the way I am leading myself right now, I'm extremely competitive. And maybe also this is like a second child thing, you know, my, I have an older brother. I'm the second child and it's like, I feel like second children, we, we have this thing about us. We are like, we are not gonna be second only because we came out second.
It does not mean that I'm gonna be second, I'm gonna beat you that kind of vibe. So I'm so competitive and even to the point, like now I go like 10 pin bowling with the kids and I'm like, I'm not here to have fun. I'm here to win. And Brody is like, can you just chill for a bit? Like you're playing temping bowling with the kids.
And I was like, they're not following the rules. We gotta follow the rules and I gotta win. And I get, so like everything that I do, it's like I play golf and I'll be like, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna go and get my outfit. I'm gonna go at my shoes, I'm gonna get my glove and I'm gonna go and play golf and I'm gonna be the fucking best at it.
And I had not done any training. And then I go and find acid to surf. Like, who am I? Why? Why am I, I'm so competitive, and I've looked back at that. I'm actually giggling at myself because I, I don't like to lose. And sometimes I've almost felt a bit ashamed for like being a bad loser. So now I, I think I can control it a little bit better that I may not get pissed off, but I don't like losing, and I think.
I, I feel like there's almost like a lot of like shame in the online space at the moment to say they wanna be the best. So maybe I'm just gonna lead the way and, and say that I wanna be the fucking best. I wanna be the best. I wanna get to the top. I wanna be well known. I want to be the one that is paving the way in my industry, period.
I wanna be the best. I wanna get to the top. I wanna play with the big dogs. Like that. That's where I'm going. It's like I did not start my own business for it to just be okay for it to be average for me to like just get by. And I think, and I actually asked this question instead of myself, my mastermind today, I'm like, hand up if you're competitive.
Every single person on that call gave me like a double hand. They're like me and they all cracked up laughing. And they're like, who can go play sport with the kids without actually wanting to win? And they were all in stitches because we're all the same. And I believe this trait is actually essential in business if we wanna be successful, that I think it's absolutely essential for us to be competitive in business.
I hope that you are feeling so freaking passionate about your path, and I hope that you are in the game to win. I hope that whatever winning looks like for you, whatever getting to the top looks like for you, I hope that you have a level of competitiveness in you that will get you there. Because now when we are back in your competitive side with a never giving up mindset, with consistency, with staying in your lane, we're being deeply rooted and then having a really deep understanding of your audience and how you serve them and how you move them, and understanding strategy and having zero excuses policies inside of your business.
You will get to the top. You will get to the top. But for as long as you don't take ownership and for as long as you like, I'm half in, yeah, I'm just gonna have this as a side thing. You are not gonna get to the top like we're all in, like I'm all in or nothing kind of person. And this comes with everything and this is why I become really good at everything that I do.
Like teach me how to do something and I will, I will learn how to do it.
And it, there's like a part of me is like, oh, I wonder if that's gonna sound a bit like Dicky and fuck no. Like, no, it's not. Because I don't wanna shy away from these th these things that are absolutely essential. We have to like, we have to pick us. You have to want to get to the top. So in order for you to do that, you're gonna have to be, be competitive.
You're gonna have to be like, I am here to take up space. I'm here to make myself known. I'm here to make myself seen. People are not gonna come find me because there're gonna be a lot of people out there that are very competitive. And if you wanna get to the top, you're gonna have to be one of them. I hope you have loved today's episode.
