201: The Thing No Coach Will Say Before You Join

Welcome back to the Shoot It Straight podcast, my friends. I have seen 80 women go through Root to Rise, my mastermind, at this point, which is wild to me that it has grown so much and I’ve gotten to serve so many women. And the thing about it is, as you can imagine, with that many women, everybody’s different personalities, right?

Different personalities, different seasons of life, different parts of the country, different levels of experience, and they go through the same curriculum, they have the same coach, me, they sit on the same calls, and yet these women can have wildly different outcomes and different experiences within the program.

So today, I wanna talk about the thing that nobody is saying out loud before you invest in a program, whether it’s mine or something else, because I truly understand that my program is not the only one out there. I know that you, the listener, have heard about my program, and you are loyal to this podcast, and I love you for that, but I know that there’s other coaches out there.

There’s other educators. They have courses and programs and coaching, and I’m not the right fit for everyone, nor do I offer what everyone needs. So we’re gonna talk about what you need to get out of a program, when programs work for you, and when they don’t, and I’m going to pull back the curtain for you because it’s important that you hear this.

It’s important to hear this, again, whether it is for my program or someone else’s. People buy programs, they join programs, they hire coaches looking for some sort of transformation, and then when that doesn’t happen, what I see is that they blame the program or the coach. And by the end of this episode, I want you to know for sure, without a shadow of a doubt, whether you are the kind of person that is going to get results or not.

And if you are not one of those people, what you need to do to get there. Because I don’t want you to suffer that fate. I don’t want you to buy a course, join a program, hire a course, and not get the results that you’re hoping for. But people have different outcomes, and I’m gonna tell you why

Welcome to Shoot It Straight, the podcast for women building businesses and lives they actually want. I’m Sabrina Gebhardt, and around here we believe in clarity over hustle, alignment over burnout, and giving yourself permission to want more, more ease, more beauty, more income, more space to live. So if you’re ready to grow without losing yourself in the process, you’re in the right place.

Let’s start off with the truth about what a program can and cannot do. A program is a container. It doesn’t matter if it’s a course that’s taught online, if it’s a course that’s pre-recorded, if it’s a membership, if it is something that you have access to, like a chat group, if it’s a high-level mastermind, if it’s one-to-one coaching.

It does not matter what the container is, but it is a container. There is some sort of container organized for whatever program it is that you are considering. Within that container, the coach, the leader, the mentor, whoever it is that’s in charge, that person is the guide. So you’ve got the container, which is the program itself.

You’ve got the guide, the coach, and then you, the student, are the engine. You are what makes it go. So for example, everything inside of Root to Rise, my mastermind, the curriculum, the calls, the community, the co-coaches, the feedback, the retreat, all of those things are fuel, okay? They’re all part of the container.

They are the fuel, but fuel does not move a car that doesn’t start. It doesn’t matter if there is fuel in a vehicle. If it won’t start, if it won’t go, if the engine’s not working, nothing is going to happen. It can be the most beautiful vehicle, the container. It can have all of… It can be full of fuel. It can have an incredible map, but if the engine doesn’t work, it’s not going anywhere.

So when we’re talking about Root to Rise specifically, I, as the coach, as the guide for that particular program, I will pour everything I have into you. I will answer all of your questions. I will show up to every single call prepared. I will give you feedback. I will push you and encourage you and point things out to you.

I will be there to hold your hand and give you constructive criticism and cheer you on when you have a win. But at the end of the day, I cannot want it more than you. It’s not my engine. It’s not my path, okay? I can do everything that I can do, but I can’t control you. I can’t control the work that you do, how you show up, how you receive things, right?

You have to be committed 100% to a program. Again, and I’m speaking from the perspective of Root to Rise, but fill in the blank with any program, any course, any program, any coach, any mastermind, anyone. You have to be 100% committed And be all in because the coach cannot lead you to the water. The coach cannot move the vehicle.

They can give you everything that you need. They can fully set you up for success, but if you are not as invested or more so than they are, it’s not gonna happen. You have to be fully committed. What does commitment actually look like? It means showing up to calls if there are calls, even when life is busy, even when things are chaotic, even when you would rather reschedule something for that time.

You have to show up. If it’s a course that’s pre-recorded, you have to watch every single video. Again, the guide, the coach can give you the calls, can give you the replays, can put them on your Google Calendar, can email you reminders, but if you don’t show up, if you don’t pay attention, if you don’t take notes, if you don’t watch the replays, what do you expect?

So you have to show up no matter what when life gets busy and chaotic, because it always does. Another thing that commitment actually looks like is engaging with the group even when it feels vulnerable. And this really only applies for, like, a group mastermind situation. One-to-one coaching doesn’t really apply.

Pre-recorded course doesn’t really apply. But whenever there is a community component, if you are skipping the community piece, if you are not sharing things in a chat forum, if you are not responding to people when they post in a ch- in a group forum, if you are not engaging with the coach in, in different ways that you can, if you are not participating on the calls and asking questions and answering questions, and if you are not utilizing the community piece that is part of the container that you’re in, you are missing out and you are not fully committed because your coach, your leader, your guide, has built community into their pers- their program for a reason.

It’s not just there for fun. It’s there for a reason, and if it’s there for a reason, you being fully committed means that you are participating, and you are showing up, and you are invested in the community portion just as much as learning on the calls. If your coach did not put community into the container, it’s because he or she did not deem it necessary for the transformation.

Great. Not everything has community. But if community is a part of the program that you are looking at, you have to engage and show up even when it feels vulnerable Another way that you are fully committed to something is asking questions even when it feels dumb. I know we have all heard that sentiment before.

If you have a question, it’s likely that somebody else has the same question. There’s no dumb questions. That is so true. The reason you hear that over and over and over again in school and growing up is because it’s true. You’re not the only one with a question. There is no dumb question. You have to ask them.

If you are in a container and you have the ability to ask the coach questions and you are not, you are not fully committed. Another way that you can be fully committed to a program is implementing feedback even before you feel ready. If you are in a situation, in a container, that the coach or coaches are giving you feedback, you need to take that feedback and implement it.

They’re giving you feedback for a reason, and if you don’t trust them enough to take their feedback, why are you in the program? You trusted them enough to give them your money and your time and to invest in them because they are an authority and an expert in whatever it is they’re teaching, therefore, you should trust them enough to implement their feedback.

So when you’re given feedback, you have to implement it. That is how you show up fully committed into a program. Continuing to do business or photograph or whatever you’re learning in the same way that you’ve always done it is not going to get you to a new place. It’s going to get you right where you are.

You have to be willing to do things differently, to go somewhere differently, and that often means implementing feedback and doing something differently. The women who I have seen go through my mastermind and come out on the other side raving about the experience, who had explosive growth or huge mindset transformations or found theirselves in a completely different place from beginning to end, who wanted to join the program again, who told all their friends about it, who said that it was absolutely transformational, all of those women were all in on the program, and that’s no coincidence.

Women that go all in on something, and again, I’m talking from my experience as a coach about Root to Rise, but this will apply to anything. When you go all in, you will get results, period. So if you want to join a program or a course or hire a coach and get results, you have to be willing to be fully committed.

You have to be willing to fully understand that the program is just the container, the coach is your guide, all of the curriculum and the things included are the fuel, but you ultimately are the engine, and if you don’t show up fully committed, you’re not going anywhere The second thing that I want you to know that people are not talking about, coaches are not talking about enough, and I’m going to be really brutally honest with you here, okay?

And I want you to hear this with warmth and love, which, you know, you’re a listener of the Shoot It Straight podcast. I think you know that by now. You have to be coachable. If you want to see transformation in an investment, whether it be a course, a mastermind, a program, a membership, whatever, you have to be coachable.

And honestly, most people don’t know if they are or not, so I’m gonna tell you what that looks like. Being coachable is being willing to try something different. You must be willing to try something different, receive feedback without being defensive, and trust the process before you have the proof that it’s going to work.

Just like what I just said, if you have trusted this person enough to give them your time and money, you need to trust them enough to receive feedback and take a step forward in a new direction and implement that feedback. That is what makes someone coachable. What got you here will not get you there.

It’s literally what I just said. Doing the same things the way that you’ve always done them in your little safe zone is fine. That’s what got you to where you are. But more than likely, if you have invested in a program, a coach, a course, you want to go somewhere new, therefore, you’re gonna have to do something new.

And no, you’re not gonna know for sure whether it’s gonna work or not. You’re gonna have to take a leap of faith and trust the process before you see the proof. New things are uncomfortable. They’re scary. They’re confusing. They feel sometimes viscerally wrong at first because they’re unfamiliar, not because they’re bad.

You must be willing to do things that are uncomfortable and feel confusing and maybe even feel wrong because they’re new and they’re different. Signs that you might not be coachable. You find yourself explaining why the feedback won’t work before you even try it I hear this so often. They are trying to justify, ‘That’s not gonna work for me, and here’s why.

I can tell you right now, that’s not gonna work for me.’ I always lovingly listen, and every once in a while, maybe we will uncover a very unique spin on something that we need to modify or tweak. But more often than not, the initial immediate pushback is fear-based. It’s new. It’s different. I’m asking them to do something different than what they’ve ever done, try something a different way.

Immediately, just like I said, it feels uncomfortable. It feels wrong. It feels unfamiliar and confusing because it’s new. You’re not coachable if, if that’s how you’re going to receive feedback. If there’s a defensiveness and, and a constantly explaining away things, then you are not going to be willing to change anything in your business or the way that you shoot or whatever it is that you’re learning.

You have got to be willing to set aside any ego, to set aside any past experience, and to let the expert be your guide. That’s what the coach is. Remember, the coach is the guide. They are trying to guide you towards your goals, your future, whatever it is that you’re trying to achieve. So you must be willing to at least sit with the idea of doing this differently and ideating over it a little bit, mulling over it a little bit.

Take steps forward. But when somebody is immediately defensive and immediately says, “No, that’s not going to work, and here’s why,” that person is not coachable Another sign that you are not coachable is that you feel resistant to changing something that feels like you even if it’s not working. You’ve heard me say on the podcast enough times that your business gets to be what you want it to be, and that not everyb- everything feels good to everybody, and that your business should feel good to you.

I am a huge believer of that, okay? In case you are here today for the very first time, I’m a huge believer in that. I want your business to feel like you. I want it to feel good to you. I want your definition of success to be unique to you. However, if it’s not working, then I don’t care how good it feels.

I don’t care how much, quote-unquote, like you it feels. At the end of the day, your business has to work. At the end of the day, you need clients coming to you, you need people paying you, you need profit, you need to be able to pay yourself, you need to be marketing your business. There are certain things that have to be happening, otherwise you’re, you’re not in business.

You have a hobby, a side hustle. Maybe not even a side hustle if you’re not making money. You cannot feel resistant to changing something that’s not working. And again, circling all the way back to if you are joining a course or program, hiring a coach, something is not working. Even if that just looks like you want to do something better, there’s something off.

Otherwise, why are you joining a program or a course or anything like that, right? You don’t need it. If everything is, like, glittery rainbows and you’re feeling good and you’re making money and you have profit, and like, then what? You don’t need any of this, right? Great. Good for you. Carry on. Okay?

Generally, someone that is hiring a coach, joining a program, they want something to change because something doesn’t… isn’t working anymore. So you need to be willing to, again, take feedback and make changes, even if what you’ve always done, quote-unquote, “feels like you.” Oftentimes when I hear that, it’s really just a nice way of saying, “I don’t wanna do that, and here’s why.”

Okay? Very similar to the first reason or the first sign that you might not be coachable. Okay, sign number three that you are not really coachable is that you are taking constructive feedback personally rather than professionally. If someone gives you constructive criticism, your first response is that you are taking it as a stab at yourself You are, you know, this person doesn’t like me, or they said this because, you know, we don’t get along, or they’re jealous, or, you know, whatever.

Fill in the blank. You’re taking it personally as opposed to being able to just take it as a professional criticism. If you are in a program where you get access to a coach in one way or another, this… so I’m assuming this is not a prerecorded course at this point, you’re getting feedback from a co-coach, from a coach, from, from somebody in the group.

And oftentimes it is constructive because, again, we’re wanting to do things differently. So maybe you’re getting constructive feedback on your pricing, or your offers, or how you’re doing your marketing, or something on your website, or whatever. None of it’s personal, okay? If somebody takes a look at your portfolio and gives you their feedback telling you that, you know, your images are not cohesive, or you tend to edit a little warm, or you tend to underexpose, or your compositions are all kind of boring, it’s not a stab at you.

It is somebody professionally giving you constructive criticism because they want you to do better, because they know you can do better, because they want something better for your future. If somebody doesn’t tell us these things, how are we gonna know? It’s like walking around town with your zipper undone.

Somebody’s gotta tell you. Sure, it’s embarrassing when they do, but my goodness, they just saved you from running around town even more with your zipper undone. Constructive criticism is part of the process, and you need to be able to take it professionally and not personally. And then one more, uh, sign that you might not be coachable is…

I like to explain this as you’re on a call with a coach, and you’re, like, nodding your head. You’re like, “Oh, yeah. Sure. Okay.” Like, I’m nodding your head. You’re following along, but you’re not doing anything. You’re not actually implementing anything. You’re not taking notes. You’re not taking one or two nuggets from each call and going and doing something with it.

You’re just following along. You’re reading the textbook, but you’re not doing the homework. I’m happy that you’re participating on the calls. I’m happy that you’re listening and you’re absorbing. But at the end of the day, you are not going to get results if you don’t implement. Someone who nods along on the calls and just, you know, like, pays attention but does not implement is someone who is not gonna get results, and they’re gonna say a program doesn’t work for them.

But you will never get results if you do not implement. And when someone is paying attention and nodding and not implementing, it’s generally because they don’t trust what they’re being told. They don’t think it applies to them, or they don’t think they could do it that way, right? They’re making excuses for any kind of education.

It’s just like making excuses for feedback. It’s the same exact thing. Sure, this is great information, but it’s not gonna work for me, therefore, I’m not gonna implement it. They don’t think it applies to them. And if you don’t implement, you will not have any change. If you’re someone who doesn’t like to be told what to do, or you believe that you already know what’s best, that’s valid.

That’s valid. There are some personality types like that. But that probably means that coaching isn’t the right fit for you right now. I would always rather someone know that up front than invest in something and be disappointed. I never want anyone to be disappointed in what the experience is gonna be like, so I’m very, very candid here.

So again, I’m talking to you about this not only from the perspective of me, the coach, and I have a program, but also for anything that you invest in. If you heard any of these traits and you’re like, “Ooh, man, that really feels like me,” I wouldn’t invest in anything until you’re ready because you are going to continue to find yourself in that disappointed spot, in that seat of, “This doesn’t work for me.

I didn’t learn anything. This was a waste of time and money,” when really, that’s not the case. It’s just that you were not coachable in that season. Coachability is not a personality trait. It is something that you can practice and learn. You can grow into it. But you have to be honest with yourself about where you are.

And listen, if you’re like, “You know what? I don’t think I’m very coachable right now, but I want to be,” tell that to your potential future coach. Tell them that like, “I really wanna join your program. I’ve heard great things about it. I think it could be really great for me, but I also know that I’m not very coachable, but I wanna get better.

Can you help me?” And if you can be up front, if somebody came to me and told me that, I think I would take that challenge on and I would coach them a little bit differently. I would hold them to a different standard as the rest of the group, and I think I would help them work through it. I don’t know that every coach would feel the same way, but again, I want you to know this before you make an investment because it’s not the program, it’s the coachability factor I want to talk to you about something for a second I see this all the time in the industry.

Photographers who are good at what they do. They are genuinely talented, but they still feel like they’re one slow season away from questioning everything they’ve ever done. They are still making decisions from a place of scarcity. They’re still running their businesses in a way that quietly exhausts them.

I know that feeling because I’ve lived it, and I also know what it costs to stay there longer than you have to. Route to Rise is my mastermind for photographers who are done waiting for things to click on their own. It’s a high-touch group program, and it’s one I’ve been running for years, which means it’s been refined, tested, and built on what actually works.

Not a theory, not what worked for someone else. What is working for photographers in real businesses at real stages of growth. The women inside Route to Rise aren’t just growing their revenue. They’re changing how they think, how they make decisions, how they show up. That’s the work, and that’s what makes the results stick.

The next cohort isn’t open yet, but the waitlist is, and that’s where you wanna be. Waitlist members get first access, more details, the chance to have a conversation with me before the doors open to anyone else, and a discount at enrollment. If you’ve been circling this and wondering if it’s for you, that’s your answer.

Get on the list. sabrinagebhart.com/mastermind-waitlist. The link will be in the show notes. Back to the episode Let’s get into the next little section here. Uh, this is gonna feel a little spicy. Okay? And again, this is coming from love, so just hear me out here. Here is the real reality of the situation.

Not all coaches are created equal, not all programs go super deep. That’s- it’s true. That is a true statement, that is a fact. I wish that every single coach out there was held to the same standard. I wish I could say that every single coach out there could get you incredible transformations, that every single program, uh, would go deep and do the work, but that’s just not, not everything and not everybody is that way.

Okay? So that’s truth. Here’s the spicy part. If you have a track record that says every program you’ve ever participated in or signed up for has let you down, you’ve never learned anything, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this, my friends, in my DMs. “I’ve never learned anything from any course I’ve ever purchased.

I’ve been in multiple masterminds, and they are a waste of money. I have hired multiple one-to-one coaches, and it really just is not a good investment. I, I don’t think anybody actually knows what they’re doing.” Okay, when I hear those statements, I have to be honest with you, the pattern is about you, not the programs.

If you can genuinely say that you have invested in courses, memberships, programs, coaches, and you have not learned anything from any of them, this is a you problem, not a them problem. Two things are probably happening here. Number one, there’s some sort of gap in the coachability that we were just talking about.

You are consuming, but you’re not implementing. So maybe you’re attending the calls, maybe you’re watching the lives, maybe you’re listening to the guest experts, maybe you binged the private podcast, you are attending whatever. You are consuming, but you’re not actually doing anything If there’s no implementation, you are never going to learn anything.

Implementation is where you learn. I can watch videos all day long of how to be an expert in acrylic paint. If I don’t buy the supplies and I take time to practice every single day or every single week, and mess up and start again, and get messy, and make mistakes and fix them, I will never become a painter, no matter how many thousands of hours of videos I watch or books I read or museums I go to.

You have to implement. So this is one of the big things I see is that they’re consuming, but they’re not actually implementing. They’re consuming and they’re just assuming that, “Oh, I already know this, I already know this, I already do this, it’s fine,” blah, blah, blah, and then they don’t ever implement, so that they never see any change.

The other way that I see this gap in coachability is they’re consuming, but they’re filtering everything that they’re learning and they’re filtering all the pieces of advice through their existing beliefs, through what they currently know. And again, it’s the unwillingness to think differently. If you’re not willing to change and do things differ- and think about things differently, and open your mind to new perspectives and ideas, and implement changes, you’re not coachable.

It’s not the programs, it’s you. The other thing I see when, when I hear this happening is that there is a mismatch in expectations. Oftentimes people are expecting a certain program or course to hand them like a magic formula that’s like, “Here’s the answer to all your problems. Do this one thing.” When really what most programs and co- and coaches will have you do is to require your own application and iteration and experimentation of what they are telling you.

It is very rare, in fact, I can’t think of a certain circumstance, where there is a magic pill, where there is a magic thing. There’s one thing and I’m gonna teach you how to do it and it’s gonna change your whole life. Generally, that’s not the case, okay? What, what really is happening though is they’re giving you new ways to look at things, new ways to apply things, but you’re still having to put your own fingerprint on it.

You’re still having to iterate it to fit you. There’s still a level of experimentation and implementation, and people are not doing that. A program gives you a map, but the coach cannot walk that road for you You have to be willing to do it. So whether it’s the fact that you’re not actually coachable and you’ve been investing in all of these things, and no wonder you’re not getting anything out of it because you’re not in a place to learn or implement or receive or change anything at all because you’re not coachable, or the expectation is mis- mismatched.

You were looking for a magic pill, and that’s not actually what the program was about. I say this again with love. If you are one of those people that says, “Education is a waste. I’ve been burned so many times. I’ve bought this many things. I’ve joined this many things. I never learn anything. It’s all just a crock,” honey, I love you, but it’s you, and I want you to really hear that and take it to heart because I don’t want you to be burned by coaches and education because you’re missing out on a whole lot of goodness If you can finish a course or a program, and again, let’s circle all the way back to what I said a minute ago, go all in.

Be fully committed to every piece, to showing up, to learning, to asking questions, to participating in community, to implementing what you’re learning, to receiving feedback. You go all in. And then at the end, asking yourself, “Did I implement what I learned? Yes or no? Did I implement every single thing that I learned?

Yes or no? Did I ask for help when I was stuck?” And, and I’m gonna take that a step further. Did I allow myself to get stuck? Because quite frankly, if you’re not getting stuck at some point, you’re probably not pushing yourself hard enough, and you’re probably not fully committed at some point. And then did I show up consistently?

Did I really watch all the replays, show up to all the live calls, participate in the community, do all the things that I was expected to do? And not only just show up, but did I engage? Did I participate? Did I ask questions? Did I comment? Did I give feedback? Those answers are gonna tell you, because if you did all those things, there is no way that you did not learn something.

There is no way. It’s literally impossible. But if you did all of those things, you probably learned something. I want you to ask yourself those things from the programs that you’ve been in and participated in. Okay? Last section I wanna kinda touch on for this. What does it look like to actually go all in on a program?

I wanna be very clear what it looks like for women, and men, but you know, we’re a girl gang here, for women who get results, because that’s what I want for you. Like I said, there is so much incredible education out there. There are so many incredible courses and coaches and programs, and growing is so valuable.

I will never stop learning. I will never stop being in these things because I am constantly pushing myself to new levels of excellence and wanting to learn and fine-tune, and education is important. I want you to get results. I want you to have that experience of going through, whether it be a little micro course, a prerecorded something or other, a big group thing, a year-long thing, whatever it is, I want you to invest and have the confidence to go all in and know that, like, let’s do this.

It’s gonna be amazing. And trust the process. So here’s how you get results. Number one, you show up to every call Every call you are there, whether you’ve got makeup on or not, whether your kids are in the background or not, whether you’re in your car running errands or on vacation, you are showing up to the calls.

They are on your calendar. You are honoring that time like it is the most sacred thing on your calendar. You made the investment, and you are there. The calls are happening. You are not rescheduling clients there. You are not scheduling doctor’s appointments there. You are not… Like, it doesn’t matter.

You’re on the call. You are on the calls. Okay? Number two, if there is a group community component, you are utilizing it. You are all in. You are posting in the group. You are asking questions. You are sharing your experience even when those things feel vulnerable or messy, whatever If you don’t participate in a community portion in a program that offers community, you’re missing the entire point.

Okay? Because again, if your coach has built community into your program, there’s a reason that it’s part of it. And as a coach who has communities in her programs, I can tell you right now that will absolutely make or break your experience. You can go all in, you can participate in every call, you can ask every question, but if you don’t go all in on the community portion, you’re not getting as much out of it.

You will not enjoy your experience as much as women who do. Do not miss out on that. Participate in the community, in the group, if it is something that is included. You are also asking questions even if you think they’re too basic, even if you think every other person in the group already knows the answer to this.

You are asking because you’ve got a question and you have a coach and you want the answer to it. It doesn’t matter how basic it is, doesn’t matter how silly it feels. You’re getting the answers to all the questions you have. That’s why you’re in the group. That’s why you’re in the program. You’re asking all the questions.

You’re not filtering any of that. Another way to guarantee that you get results is that you are going to receive feedback, and you’re gonna sit with it, and then you’re gonna try it. Now, that doesn’t mean that you can’t go back and forth with your coach a little bit if that’s something that is included in your program, but you’re not going to immediately dismiss it.

Okay? So when I say you’re gonna go back and forth with your coach a little bit, it’s going to be to optimize it for you, to clarify it, to get into the nitty-gritty if that’s something that you feel like would be helpful for you. But you are going to receive feedback, you are going to sit with it, and then you are going to try it.

You’re also not gonna wait until you feel ready. If you want to have incredible results in a program, you are going to implement before you feel confident. You’re gonna do it scared, you’re gonna do it unsure, you’re going to do it because you are trusting the process. You are never gonna feel ready for some things, depending on what the program is or the course is and what you’re learning, right?

Some things are smaller, some things are bigger. But we’re never gonna feel ready. You’re never gonna feel super confident, especially when you’re doing something new. You’re gonna take the leap anyways. And you’re gonna treat the program like an investment that you are determined to get a return on. When you show up And you are so deeply committed because you are like, “You know what?

I invested this much money. I am getting a return on this.” The mindset you have towards something is just different. It’s different than the people who join the program and they’re like, “Oh yeah, sure, I’ve always heard about this. I’m just gonna throw some money at it.” That’s not the same. Those women are not showing up the same way.

When you are determined to get a return on your investment, you will, because you are going to go all in and utilize every resource and participate in everything, and you’re also gonna glean way more than anyone else because you’re going to be looking for results at every single turn. The women who have gotten the biggest results in Route to Rise specifically are not the ones who had the most time on their hands, absolutely not, or the ones that had the most talent.

They are the ones who decided that it was going to work for them, and they went all in. I have had wildly successful women in the program have incredible, like, variety in what their lives are, how many kids they have. I have so many that are homeschooling or pregnant or going through really heavy seasons of life, taking care of parents.

I have women who have been getting a divorce. I have women who have moved across the country, whose partners have lost jobs. It’s so wild the things these women have accomplished while also having really busy, chaotic, trying times at home. But it’s because they went all in. It’s because they were committed.

It’s because they knew there was never going to be a perfect time, and they decided this was going to work for them, and you know what? It did Just to recap and to bring us home, if you want results from a program, no matter what it is, you have to show up and do the work, you have to be coachable, truly coachable, and you need to be able to take an honest inventory of your own habits and patterns.

Are you getting in your own way? Have you historically gotten in your own way? If you listen to this episode, anything I said today, and you thought something about this resonated, you’re ready to go all in, maybe you are coachable and you’re ready. Maybe you hear me talk about the things required to get results and you’re like, “Yes, I can do all of those things,” or maybe even recognizing that I currently am not coachable, but dang it, I want to be.

I’m gonna be honest, I, I want this to transform me to not only get results for my business, but also to turn me into someone that is coachable. Root to Rise might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for. If you’ve heard today’s episode and maybe you had more conviction than you are comfortable with, maybe it’s was really uncomfortable.

Maybe you were like, “Ugh, she’s definitely talking to me. I’m definitely not coachable. I definitely have taken programs and blamed the coach or the guide because I didn’t learn anything. I definitely don’t go all in. I definitely don’t do the things required to get the results.” I will tell you that’s actually a good sign because now at least you are self-aware.

At least you are self-aware that you’ve been the problem in the past and you know what needs to change You are not written off forever from any education or programs. That self-awareness can transform you and help guide you into what needs to change, how you need to open your mind, and things that need to change in your habits, and how you show up for things, and your expectations.

You will be successful in a program in the future now that you have this self-awareness, okay? You’ve got something to work on. So my friends, the wait list opens for Root to Rise very, very, very soon, and I want you to get on it. We have some incredible changes to the program this run. It is… I know I say this every time, but it is going to be the best run we’ve ever had.

The changes are so perfect, and I’ve already shared it with my alumni. I’ve already shared the changes with my First Class Lounge membership. Everyone is so excited about them. The amount of messages and feedback I’ve gotten of how excited people are about these changes is wild. If you’ve thought about it, this is probably your time, and I would love to be your coach.

But more than that, I want you to get results. I want to be your guide to get the results that you’re looking for. And now you know what is required to get there after this episode.
