7
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:33.999
Tracey Watts Cirino: you know not everyone talks about in the business world, because sometimes we think it is oh, that we need another marketing strategy, or that we need to


8
00:01:34.360 --> 00:01:59.500
Tracey Watts Cirino: hire someone different or or just this, like tactical thing. Oftentimes it's the things under the surface. And that's why today's today's show is so so important. Because the thing is is that oftentimes, when you're working with the coach, you might wonder like, how did they get to the heart of the matter like that? Or if you are


9
00:01:59.720 --> 00:02:08.079
Tracey Watts Cirino: like somebody that's been considering working with a coach, and you're unsure if it's the right thing for you.


10
00:02:09.140 --> 00:02:18.799
Tracey Watts Cirino: this is gonna really help you dig in a little deeper, because here's the thing. Coaching is not about giving you the answers.


11
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:44.790
Tracey Watts Cirino: because the answers are already within you. Right? It's already within you. We are working to reveal the best version of yourself, your business, your life goals, are based on what's best for you and what your version of success looks like not what some Guru says like, I'm never trying to push my my ideals and what I want for my business onto my clients.


12
00:02:44.860 --> 00:03:08.380
Tracey Watts Cirino: I'm creating space in this beautiful supportive container that allows them to bring all of their vision ideas, all the great things that make each of my clients uniquely them. That's what we're doing. Right like this is a, it's like a sacred relationship. We create like more of a sacred space for this.


13
00:03:09.020 --> 00:03:11.399
Tracey Watts Cirino: So so


14
00:03:11.430 --> 00:03:17.240
Tracey Watts Cirino: here's the thing when I say that that coaching isn't about giving you the answers. It's about


15
00:03:17.250 --> 00:03:41.800
Tracey Watts Cirino: asking the right questions to help you find the clarity so that you take aligned action towards what's best for you, and oftentimes we get in our own head and lie to ourselves about stuff. That's why it is such a beautiful thing to work with a trusted coach, consultant or mentor. So whether you're struggling with the strategy, the mindset, the growth


16
00:03:43.150 --> 00:03:49.410
Tracey Watts Cirino: or sometimes it's even like emotional triggers. You know things that come up. And I always say, this takes us back to like mindset stuff.


17
00:03:49.700 --> 00:03:56.970
Tracey Watts Cirino: These will be like the 7 questions that can transform the way you approach your business. So


18
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.449
Tracey Watts Cirino: you ready? Let's jump in. So


19
00:04:00.992 --> 00:04:28.170
Tracey Watts Cirino: the 7 key questions. What's your ultimate version for your business like, what's that ultimate vision for? What you want? Your business to look like? This is where we start. I always start here because clarity is everything. The more you talk about it, and and really describe what your vision looks like


20
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:45.029
Tracey Watts Cirino: that is going to help like be like your north star. So if you don't know where you're going. How do you think that we can create a strategy? How do you think that any one of the millions of different marketing


21
00:04:45.550 --> 00:04:56.880
Tracey Watts Cirino: strategies are going to work for you. If you are still fuzzy about where you're going, right like we can't get in our car and punch into our GPS


22
00:04:57.470 --> 00:05:04.250
Tracey Watts Cirino: that I want to go somewhere. Good like. Let let me go where it's successful.


23
00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:33.100
Tracey Watts Cirino: That's very vague, right? Like what? Paint me a picture. And so we'll dive even deeper into these types of vision. Questions like these are really important to answer, and the more that that you fine tune and refine this like the more fun and juicy it gets. So if you don't know where you're going, how can you create a strategy to get there? So I will ask my clients to think big like, what does success look


24
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:40.380
Tracey Watts Cirino: and feel like for you? Right? It's not just one it's. And so what does it look like and feel like for you.


25
00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:49.180
Tracey Watts Cirino: Take a moment to visualize your ideal day as a business owner. What are you doing


26
00:05:49.330 --> 00:05:56.580
Tracey Watts Cirino: right like? What? What are the daily daily activities that you're doing? Who are you serving?


27
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:07.569
Tracey Watts Cirino: What are you up to? Who surrounded you, who's like in your circle? What do you have going like sometimes it's like visualize what it looks like on your calendar. How does it feel?


28
00:06:08.250 --> 00:06:12.830
Tracey Watts Cirino: Take a moment and write all of this down. This is your north star.


29
00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:20.130
Tracey Watts Cirino: So number 2, what's currently working? Well, we will often dive into


30
00:06:20.280 --> 00:06:24.480
Tracey Watts Cirino: what is working well because oftentimes, when


31
00:06:24.510 --> 00:06:52.890
Tracey Watts Cirino: I 1st start working with clients, you know, they maybe have worked with a coach in the past, and they want to focus on all the problems, and that we are absolutely going to do that. But I like to come at it through the lens of let's acknowledge and celebrate what's really working, because oftentimes there's like these little these little areas where we can just take one little jump forward. This really helps you acknowledge


32
00:06:52.890 --> 00:07:19.109
Tracey Watts Cirino: where you're already doing a great job, and where we can find some leverage that will build momentum. So it's really important that we're always looking to what's going great. This question, when I ask this of clients is often shifts their mindset and helps identify the strengths that we can build on like, it's so important. So maybe


33
00:07:19.620 --> 00:07:40.679
Tracey Watts Cirino: maybe in your business, your client relationships are absolutely thriving. Or maybe your social media presence is so strong. Maybe you are like, Oh, wow! I just started doing this a little bit ago. And now I'm like on my way to being like an influencer along with my business like, who knows? Let's just focus and amplify those wins


34
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:53.989
Tracey Watts Cirino: because there are so many parts of business that are hard. We don't need to make it any harder, right? We don't need to make it any harder. We don't believe that it has to be hard for us to be successful. We want to really focus on


35
00:07:53.990 --> 00:08:16.470
Tracey Watts Cirino: where our wins are, so we can absolutely amplify them. So number 3, what feels like your biggest challenge right now, this question will help us narrow down the areas that need immediate attention. Right? Like, we want to just kind of laser beam focus in notice how I said, feels like right.


36
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.299
Tracey Watts Cirino: This invites


37
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:30.189
Tracey Watts Cirino: more honesty, and in brings through, like the emotions which are usually keys to uncovering what the real issues are.


38
00:08:30.820 --> 00:08:36.469
Tracey Watts Cirino: So this is a very strategic question, and it is one that


39
00:08:36.580 --> 00:08:39.840
Tracey Watts Cirino: people are like, Wow, that that's good. So


40
00:08:40.408 --> 00:08:49.349
Tracey Watts Cirino: challenges are often hiding right in plain sight. So when we frame it like this, what feels like your biggest challenge right now


41
00:08:50.000 --> 00:09:00.410
Tracey Watts Cirino: is very different. Right? So a really good coach will listen, not just to what you say, but how you say it, because


42
00:09:00.750 --> 00:09:24.009
Tracey Watts Cirino: the real places for the most growth are usually just hidden right in plain sight or hidden right under the surface. Number 4. What are you avoiding in your business? That's right. Write that one down. It's super important. This one is an absolute game changer. I ask myself this question all the time.


43
00:09:24.110 --> 00:09:31.620
Tracey Watts Cirino: Avoidance is a major major clue. It's often where fear or limiting beliefs


44
00:09:32.090 --> 00:09:51.300
Tracey Watts Cirino: are holding us back. And even if you don't call them limiting beliefs, they can be things that are happening in your subconscious. This is just like some area where you might be unaware that you know you're lying to yourself a little bit, and when you ask, like, what are you avoiding in your business?


45
00:09:51.430 --> 00:10:01.939
Tracey Watts Cirino: People really will take a step back like, Wow, I didn't even realize that. But when we, when we realize that, you know, maybe you were avoiding raising your prices.


46
00:10:02.190 --> 00:10:04.119
Tracey Watts Cirino: because that


47
00:10:04.590 --> 00:10:28.049
Tracey Watts Cirino: maybe, is an area of worthiness that you haven't worked on yet, and if we can help you work on embodying that you're already worthy, and what that feels like to be worthy of the price you're about to command. We can squash that. So you know, or maybe maybe you're


48
00:10:28.180 --> 00:10:48.250
Tracey Watts Cirino: avoiding making the sales calls that you need to make. Or maybe you're avoiding putting yourself out there and doing like your 1st live video on social media. Or it could be that you're really avoiding addressing a difficult team member. Or maybe there is a team dynamic that is going off the rails. So


49
00:10:48.250 --> 00:10:58.760
Tracey Watts Cirino: facing these areas can lead to your ultimate breakthroughs. So the more that we shine the light on what we might be avoiding.


50
00:10:58.790 --> 00:11:27.560
Tracey Watts Cirino: it can feel like a big problem now, but I promise you it's so much smaller and minute than when you deal with it now rather than you know. Keep avoiding it and waiting. So, number 5, who do you need to become to reach your goals? So success isn't just about what you do. It's about who you become right. It's this journey. It's not this destination. And so often.


51
00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:29.810
Tracey Watts Cirino: you know.


52
00:11:29.950 --> 00:11:53.529
Tracey Watts Cirino: this question will help you identify the habits, the mindsets, maybe even the the daily rituals, and even will help you develop the relationships, hire the right coaches and mentors that really help you get this much needed shift, so you can realign your goals. So when I ask, like.


53
00:11:53.580 --> 00:12:03.749
Tracey Watts Cirino: who do you? Who do you need to become to reach your goals? This is actually one of those things again. It's under the surface. You're already this amazing being.


54
00:12:04.090 --> 00:12:06.900
Tracey Watts Cirino: However, we often are


55
00:12:07.860 --> 00:12:17.257
Tracey Watts Cirino: putting layers of ourselves that are not true. With stories we might have been telling ourselves culturally.


56
00:12:18.250 --> 00:12:26.265
Tracey Watts Cirino: It could be just like in your generational dynamic of your family. I know oftentimes it's like, you know, women. We still kind of


57
00:12:26.710 --> 00:12:43.350
Tracey Watts Cirino: think that we're not allowed to be loud and say exactly what we want like. That's too aggressive or too pushy or too bossy. You know there are things that are stories that just because someone said it, it doesn't make it true. So this helps


58
00:12:43.843 --> 00:12:59.889
Tracey Watts Cirino: remove some of that because you already are everything you need to be. We're just bringing that part of you to the surface, and that is the magic of working with a really good coach that knows


59
00:13:00.450 --> 00:13:05.870
Tracey Watts Cirino: how to just reveal your best self like you're already there.


60
00:13:06.030 --> 00:13:14.970
Tracey Watts Cirino: It's just really great to have this relationship that helps you bring more of who you really are to the surface.


61
00:13:15.420 --> 00:13:16.190
Tracey Watts Cirino: So


62
00:13:17.210 --> 00:13:23.920
Tracey Watts Cirino: example like, if an example of this one is, if you want to be a really confident leader that is


63
00:13:24.070 --> 00:13:51.229
Tracey Watts Cirino: absolutely comfortable, asking for the like, commanding the price that you charge and asking for the type of clients that you want to serve. You know what's stopping you from stepping into this identity today? This is something that when I ask that question, who do you need to become to reach your goals? That is an area that we dig into, and I can really help with, because you are already worthy of


64
00:13:51.630 --> 00:14:11.589
Tracey Watts Cirino: commanding a price that is, thousands and thousands of dollars more than you might be getting now, and the more that we create space for you to step into, that, the more all of this lines up for you. So number 6. What does success feel like to you? Because we're not chasing after


65
00:14:13.020 --> 00:14:32.910
Tracey Watts Cirino: what someone else's version of success is, or what even what my version of success is irrelevant. It's not about me, it's about you. You are my client, and when I'm coaching you, that's what's most important, I want you to notice that I did not like I what I said like, I want you to notice that I said.


66
00:14:33.210 --> 00:14:40.359
Tracey Watts Cirino: feel, you know. What does success feel like to you? Not. What does it look like? What does it feel like when we're clear about


67
00:14:40.610 --> 00:14:43.680
Tracey Watts Cirino: what it feels like? This helps connect


68
00:14:43.970 --> 00:14:50.580
Tracey Watts Cirino: your goals and your emotions, when your goals, emotions, and values


69
00:14:50.580 --> 00:15:17.469
Tracey Watts Cirino: come together. This makes them more meaningful and motivating. This is not about chasing some new strategy that some Guru told you. This is like, what does success really feel like for you like? How does it feel in your body? How do you wake up every day? What do you put on. What kind of conversations are you having? What kind of friends and relationships are supporting you? What kind of clients are you serving? So I want you to think beyond money and metrics?


70
00:15:17.530 --> 00:15:18.430
Tracey Watts Cirino: And


71
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:35.249
Tracey Watts Cirino: does success feel like more freedom? Does it feel like you have more time to do more things that bring you joy? Does it feel like you're making a bigger impact? Does it feel like you


72
00:15:35.920 --> 00:15:48.789
Tracey Watts Cirino: have a little bit extra left over every month? A little bit extra. Define it for yourself. So then, number 7, what's the one thing you could focus on right now.


73
00:15:48.890 --> 00:15:52.460
Tracey Watts Cirino: that would create the biggest impact.


74
00:15:52.470 --> 00:16:17.410
Tracey Watts Cirino: So this question brings everything together, like, you know, I take you on this journey where we go expansive. But this question brings everything together. It just cuts right through the noise. It helps us get rid of all that mind chatter, and it will help you prioritize the actions that truly matter. So my pro tip as a business coach is that we want to look for the 20% effort


75
00:16:17.410 --> 00:16:25.500
Tracey Watts Cirino: that will give you 80% results so often. And myself included, I did this. A lot in the beginning of getting started in business


76
00:16:25.500 --> 00:16:44.269
Tracey Watts Cirino: is that we think we just have to be busy. But when we look for the 20% effort that is going to deliver an 80% result. This is your power move. And this is how we get to the heart of the matter. This is why I love working with female business owners and entrepreneurs so much so.


77
00:16:44.940 --> 00:16:46.230
Tracey Watts Cirino: These are


78
00:16:46.390 --> 00:17:03.379
Tracey Watts Cirino: like very powerful questions. These are powerful tools for clarity and for action, and if you would like even more help getting clarity, I have a 7 layers deep clarity tool. That is my free gift to you that


79
00:17:03.550 --> 00:17:21.539
Tracey Watts Cirino: takes you on a dive to ask even more, even more questions. So I will put that in the show notes. But now it's your turn. Take any one of these questions, and spend some time journaling or reflecting on it, you might be surprised on what


80
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:34.629
Tracey Watts Cirino: you uncover, and you know what pops up for you. So let me know in the comments which question resonated with you most, and if you would add a question, put that in the comments, too.


81

83
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:43.470
Tracey Watts Cirino: when you are in a relationship with a coach or mentor that puts your growth, your expansion ahead of their own, you know of their own stuff. That's who you want to be working with. They will always know what are the best questions to ask.


84
00:18:43.470 --> 00:18:55.850
Tracey Watts Cirino: so keep challenging yourself, keep growing, keep expanding, and know that you already are beyond common, and I will see you on the next one.
