Dr. Chris Frykman has been a chiropractor for the past 16 years and he is also the host of the Vibrant Potential podcast. Chris focuses on natural and holistic healing methods and also specializes in brain health. I really like Chris's message and feel he does something very different than what most online business owners do. He runs a business that matches his lifestyle - not the other way around. I love this about him because so many people feel like they 'should' be doing something when in reality it has nothing to do with what they really and truly want. You seriously have to listen in for more amazing gems from Chris in today's episode.
Key Insights & Aha Moments:
*Thank you for leaving iTunes reviews!
*Chris is usually the only person in the office.
*Chris understands he doesn't do everything well, so he’d rather outsource than hire employees.
*However, there's nothing wrong with wanting to have a ton of employees in your office. Do what works for you.
*Be careful about doing things you think you 'should' be doing. What do you really want?
*Should you keep growing your business or do you want to grow your business? Why?
*Chris wants to help 10,000 people reach their vibrant potential in 12 months.
*Now that Chris has a very clear goal, he's able to say no to things that aren't aligned with his message.
*When people say no to you, don't take the rejection seriously. Other people are busy too and are also working towards their best message.
*You can achieve as big as you can dream.
*Talk to mentors and other like-minded people about your goals.
*It's not automatic that your current set of friends or family will be your biggest supporters on your entrepreneurial journey.
*People who have negative opinions about what you're doing are usually reflecting something about themselves onto you.
*Believe in yourself.
*Let's talk about scarcity vs. abundant thinking for a moment.
*Nothing moves when you're in the scarcity mindset.
*However, there is no such thing as competition when you come from an abundance mindset.
Maven Moment:
This interview was jam packed with a ton of information, but what I really loved from Chris was when he told me how easy it was to say no after he created a clear goal. I could completely resonate with Chris on this, because it can be so hard to say no, especially if your message is to help others.
However, by having a clear goal in place, all of a sudden you know when to say yes and when to say a firm no. When you get dragged into too many 'yes' commitments it's not only exhausting, but it can be the reason why you burn out. Have a clear goal in mind so that it can lead you down a path that is more fulfilling and aligned with who you are.
