Short motivational business-coaching video by Katie McManus that links emotional state and social environment to entrepreneurial success. McManus explains that feeling happy increases opportunity recognition, energy, and confidence, and she advises new business owners to ‘audit’ friendships and remove consistently negative influences. The clip includes a brief pitch for her coaching and a call-to-action to like and follow.
How you feel actually determines your future. When you're happy and laughing and having fun, you are actually more likely to identify and go after opportunities that are right in front of you. In contrast, when you feel bad, when you're worried what people are thinking about you, when you're stressing out about the future, you are actually far more likely to identify all of the challenges and obstacles that are getting in the way of what you want. I'm Katie, your practical business strategist. And new business owners work with me to leave their corporate nine to five and replace their six figure income. And one of the reasons that my clients choose to work with me is because I do have this holistic approach where we don't just look at what you need to do in your business to start getting clients and start making money. We also look at the energetics of it. And when I say energetics, I don't mean like we sit down and do like just manifestations and then don't act. I mean, we make some actual structural changes to your life. So you're more likely to call in what you want. And one of those big structural things is the people that you spend the most time with. If you have a friend who's always making you feel bad about yourself, who is just really negative all the time, then it's actually impacting how successful you're going to be in your business. And likewise, if you have a friend who is positive and you have fun with, and whenever you walk away from a hang with them, you just feel buoyant and light, that is also going to impact how successful you're going to be in your business because how you feel matters. When you're feeling negative, you're not going to have as much energy to go through your to do list. When you feel happy and light and you're having fun, you're going to tear through your to do list like nothing can stop you. But not just that. When you're happy, you're far more likely to identify opportunities as they become available and you're far more likely to have the confidence to go after them. So if you're in the beginning stages of starting a business, if you're growing your business or you're just thinking about having a business, here is some work that you can do that will make it that much easier to get started and start making money. Start auditing your friendships. After you spend time with people, check in with yourself and see, how did I feel hanging out with that person? You know, what is the vibe that they always bring to the room when we're together. And if it's not good, and it's consistently not good because, you know, everyone has bad days, then it's really time to assess if that is going to be the most supportive friendship for this next stage of your life. And this is the first step to really living your favorite version of your life. And while you might hear this and think, well, Katie, that sounds super fricking selfish, I can't just go around ditching all my friends because I want to reach my goals. Well, let's talk about this, right? You have a gift that you were brought to this world to deliver to people who need help. And if the only thing that's holding you back is this negativity that you are surrounding yourself with and that's keeping you from giving your gift to the people who need it the most, I think that's really selfish. But what do I know? I just coach people on this stuff. If you're ready to step into your favorite version of your life, then like and follow for more.
