Episode Transcript

You are now listening to Leverage for Growth. Hey everybody this is Jesse P. Gilmore founder of Niche in Control and creator of the Leverage for Growth, welcome to the daily leverage edition. 

Today’s topic is this “Creating Certainty”. Sit back, relax and welcome to today’s daily leverage.

 

So this morning, I was doing my morning routine of working out and reflecting on this past week in life and business.

 

We are in a growth stage of the business as our message reaches more agency owners and we run our biweekly events for agency owners to gain insights and skills needed to grow their agency without burning out in the process 

 

Yesterday, we ran our live event focused on getting paid what you are worth in your agency

 

We had a handful of agency owners find tremendous value from this one-time event and get a snapshot of what it is like inside of our agency growth mastermind called Alliance

 

The reason that people follow me and Niche in Control is because of the certainty that has been earned and instilled inside of me as a leader

 

The process that I went through to create Leverage for Growth as a method to scale agencies

 

The refinement process used to determine what worked and what didn’t  

 

Doing more of what works and less of what doesn’t

 

Going through 5-6 iterations and versions of the program until it became consistent

 

The process by which Leverage for Growth was created has given me and those that follow it certainty

 

Certainty in the direction of their life and business

 

Certainty is what separates the participants from the spectators in the business game

 

When you create certainty within yourself, you are unwavering in your conviction 

 

Certainty is what every entrepreneur needs to have 

 

But certainty is not something that you can buy or manipulate in order to have

 

It must come from the inside

 

It must come from a direct connection to your higher self

 

That voice inside of you that is helping guide you to achieving your full potential

 

Certainty is what is needed in order to direct your life and business towards what you want

 

To create certainty, you must first understand where you want to go

 

Then create an understanding of where you are today

 

Understanding the gap between where you are today and where you want to be in the future allows you to understand what is needed or missing in order to bridge this gap

 

There may be certain mindsets, skillsets, beliefs or resources that are missing

 

Putting these missing pieces in order and creating a plan to bridge the gap is the next step

 

Then executing on this plan daily is the crucial

 

Not just on Mondays, weekdays, or weekends

 

Daily

 

Continually working towards your goals creates certainty

 

When you pair this up with having goals in every area of your life and business, as well as tracking the completion of each step you do daily

 

It is game over

 

Certainty is created 

 

Doing this daily over a long period of time is what creates you as a leader

 

A leader of your life and business

 

On a path towards accomplishing your dreams

 

This is what we do for our clients and helping them stay accountable and focused on what is right ahead of them

 

So that way, they can live the life and have the business they envisioned from the beginning 

 

You can create certainty in this same way

 

Why is this important?

 

Many times as entrepreneurs, we wonder what makes some business owners successful in the long term

 

We think that it is some specific type of strategy, tactic or hack

 

There is a mindset shift that needs to happen in order to understand that entrepreneurship is a long game

 

A long game that is unique to you

 

What may have worked for one person may not work for you

 

Regardless of the strategy or tactic that you use, the number one thing that is important is creating certainty for yourself

 

Creating your own goals

 

Understanding your own challenges

 

Working daily towards removing the obstacles that hold you back from achieving your goals

 

Doing this for yourself and leading yourself allows you to effectively lead others towards the realization of your vision

 

Not tomorrow

 

Starting today

 

Now it is time for daily leverage.

 

Where in your world whether in your life or business, have you been lacking certainty and it has been affecting your achievement of your goals?

 

Is it in your life with your health or body? 

 

Is it in your life with your spirituality or self-direction? 

 

Is it in your relationships with your spouse, partner or kids?

 

Is it in your business or finances or team?

 

Once you have located where you have been lacking certainty and you know what you need to change. 

 

My question to you is this…

 

What are you willing and able to do about it today?

 

That is the end of our daily leverage. This is Jesse P. Gilmore and you have been listening to the Leverage for Growth podcast.
