Hi there,

The first 4 months of the year have just whizzed by.  Lots of amazing things are happening here at Bill Baren Coaching.  I am coming into my own thinking of what we do around here as a University of Conscious Success.  It is a big vision of mine to impact as many conscious entrepreneurs as possible.  Nothing brings me greater joy than watching the number of students in our universe grow exponentially.

I am still riding high from my Big Shift Experience live event.  It was a truly remarkable experience for me, for my team and for everyone there.  There was so much there to experience, to learn and to soak in.

So before I forget everything I learned from being able to gather 450 glowing entrepreneurial change-makers all in one room, I am going to share with you 5 of my deepest learning from the biggest and arguably the best thing I have ever done.

1. There is no such thing as an overnight sensation: Small, Medium, Large

The first live and in-person workshop I ever held had a whopping total of 3 people in my living room.  It then took me 3 years before I was able to gather 60 people for my first Big Shift Experience.  Now 4 years later, I had 450 people in the room.  There is no such thing as an overnight sensation.  I first had small numbers for my live event.   Then I graduated to medium numbers.   And only now do I have enough knowledge, enough experience and enough reach to be able to produce big numbers.

2. The Most Impactful Thing to Say is the Hardest To Say

Over the years I have gotten comfortable being vulnerable and authentic.  This year at the Big Shift Experience, I wanted to go deeper and talk about things that were still raw for me and were not easy to share.  Not only did those shares produce Big Shifts for me, but being raw and emotional opened people up to create their own Big Shifts beyond what I could have possibly expected.  I realized that depth is infinite.  I can ALWAYS go deeper in my understanding of my craft.  I can ALWAYS go deeper in my vulnerability.   I can ALWAYS go deeper in the full embodiment of who I really am.  And that’s what becomes the catalyst for others to do the same.

3. What Was Once Protection is Now Prevention

In order for most of us to make it through our childhood and teenage years we needed to put up shields in order to protect ourselves from the pain and suffering of being criticized, of being rejected or of being bullied in small and large ways.  That’s what childhood is all about.  Adulthood is about being able to

Building a business can be a rocky road.

There always seem to be both the ups and the downs.

You ever have a moment where you could just use some inspiration, or something to pick you up and get you energized?

I definitely have those moments when I feel the need for cheering up and something to put a smile on my face.

Here’s a song (and performance) that lifts me up when I could use a boost.
It gets me out of my chair and up dancing!

In my last post, I told you about the pizza party where I
met Jesse Koren and the big a-ha.  This chance meeting
triggered me to ask myself, “Why is it that I am not doing
teleseminars, again?”

So I started doing them and over time, I realized there
really is a “success formula” for hosting teleseminars and
being able to get a surge of new clients much quicker than I
thought possible.

I’ll reveal that formula below, but first, a little
background.

I still remember the pivotal moment when my business turned
around, without me even suspecting it.

I was at a going away party of a couple of friends of mine.
They were moving to Hawaii and had a little get together at
a pizza place in San Francisco.

There I met Jesse Koren, a business coach I really respect a
lot. We are now friends, but that was our first meeting. We
hit it off and talked a lot.

He then made a business proposal that changed my business
forever.
