Episode 245: I Almost Lost $1 Million

Oct 10

This is the story of how Karolina almost lost $1 million dollars.

Today, she pulls back the curtain on her own journey from stressed out in her cubicle to becoming a wildly successful entrepreneur and globetrotting author.

But there was a time when she didn’t feel she could move forward with this dream.

Karolina had SO many doubts, fears, and insecurities, especially about showing up online and looking cringe.

If she hadn’t mustered up the bravery, she would have missed out on well over $1 MILLION dollars her boutique coaching business has generated.

Our brains are evolutionarily built to look out for the negative.

Have you ever told yourself you’re not ready, too old, too young, or not confident enough? Or that the world isn’t ready and your dreams are silly?

You’ll learn exactly how to rewire your self-doubt, and hear straight from Karolina why being brave isn’t something we’re born with – but instead, a decision we make.

If you’re looking to change your life (and other people’s lives) and join the alcohol-free movement, get certified as an alcohol-free life coach along with 4 other modalities in the Empowered AF 5X Coach Certification Program. Last day to submit your application is October 15.

REFLECTION QUESTION

Reflect on a time when self-doubt held you back from pursuing a significant opportunity. How might your life look different now if you had taken that leap of faith?

“I could have lost so much of my net worth of my career progression if I got stuck in this one excuse that I was too cool to show up online. And that's the thing that often holds us back: we want to have a business that is aligned with our passions. We want to have a business where we don't have to commute, or we don't have to work for a jerky boss, or we get more time off or we get to actually decide our schedule. One of the things that's holding us back, though, is this fear of actually showing up and of being seen.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska

“People fall in love with people who show up. People fall in love with people who are actually a regular presence in their lives and you know that they're going to be around.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska
