THE POWER OF COLLABORATION
In a recent episode of our newest podcast, the DIVA DEEP DIVE we had the honor of speaking with Brad Walsh, the renowned host of Empowerography. This enlightening conversation focused on empowering, elevating, and educating women entrepreneurs, shedding light on the invaluable insights Brad has gathered through his platform.
Brad's work through Empowerography is dedicated to empowering women worldwide. He celebrates their stories and strives to drive positive change. One common thread that he has observed among his guests is the significance of self-worth. Brad emphasizes the need for individuals to work on their self-confidence and self-esteem to overcome their struggles.
Self-esteem and self-worth play a pivotal role in business success. Studies have shown that individuals with high self-esteem tend to be more resilient, confident, and better equipped to handle challenges, making them more likely to persevere in the face of adversity. According to research by the University of Florida, entrepreneurs with a strong sense of self-worth are more likely to take risks and seize opportunities - leading to higher overall business and personal growth.
The Power of Collaboration and Community:
A pivotal point of discussion in the podcast was the importance of not embarking on the entrepreneurial journey alone. Brad stressed the role of relationships in business, highlighting the benefits of a collaborative mindset. He advocates surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals and creating supportive communities, as these are essential for personal and business growth. Leading on from the power of a supportive community, Brad discussed the transformative power of having great mentors around you to help shift your mindset along with cultivating a positive outlook, referencing Mike Diamond's book, "A Dose of Positivity." This game-changing book provides valuable insights into maintaining a positive mindset as we negotiate the ups and downs of business growth.
Overcoming a Competitive Mindset:
Brad candidly shared his struggles with a competitive mindset in his early entrepreneurial years - something that is quite common amongst new business owners who are experiencing the pains of growth. Brad emphasized that the only competition that truly matters is with oneself. Progress and improvement, he believes, are the markers of success. Brad dismisses the notion of scarcity and competition in the entrepreneurial world, advocating that there's enough for everyone.
By shifting his mindset from competition to collaboration, Brad experienced a significant increase in bookings and a more positive response from clients. His journey serves as a testament to the power of mindset and the importance of nurturing supportive relationships in entrepreneurship.
The Reality of Entrepreneurship:
The conversation also tackled the often glamorized portrayal of entrepreneurship on social media. Brad emphasized that entrepreneurship isn't always a walk in the park and is fraught with challenges, which are often kept behind closed doors.
The episode with Brad, host of Empowerography, offered a wealth of powerful insights, specifically designed to empower and educate women entrepreneurs. It underscored the importance of building a supportive community, maintaining a positive mindset, and celebrating shared experiences.
