Episode 499: Higher Self Habits with Alessia Citro
“Am I willing to consider that I am the type of person who can be a wildly successful entrepreneur?”
That question is the first step to building the bridge of belief that will take you from who you are now to the woman you want to be.
In today’s episode, Alessia Citro breaks down the process of building Higher-Self Habits starting from building a belief bridge that you can succeed to actualizing that belief using her 5-step Framework for Building Higher-Self Habits.
If you prefer to follow proven frameworks and want to smash your Holiday sales records, then my free 5-Step Holiday Sales Masterclass is also for you. Combine this podcast episode with my free masterclass, and you’ll have everything you need to build the habits that will enable you to reach your Higher Self and have your highest-selling Holiday Season yet.
Alessia starts off by sharing her story of how she was a successful sales closer at first Salesforce, then eventually Google. While she was successful – she realized she was not in alignment and – thanks to the timely advice of a stranger on a plane – she quit her job and became a full-time entrepreneur. This is one wild story that you’ll want to listen to fully to get all the juicy details.
As a fellow Entrepreneur, you understand what Alessia means when she says “when you own your own business, personal development is no longer optional.” Alessia shares how her personal development journey led to her becoming the go-to expert on transformational habits – eventually leading to her writing the book on the subject.
Alessia shares her 5-step process for building Higher Self Habits starting with Awareness. You have to be aware of yourself, your surroundings, and the problem before you can make changes. The final stage Ascension loops back on the first stage – but in a positive cycle always leads up toward your Higher Self. The 3 middle stages are the keys that take you from where you are to where you want to be.
Alessia next talks about limiting negative thoughts. You can never fully get rid of them, but you do have the power to lessen them and create distance. She introduces you to Pam – how Pam’s relation to a 500 million-year-old brain and the 2008 stock crash can help you overcome your negative thoughts.
Alessia talks about building a belief bridge between who you are now and who you believe you can become in the future. She talks about how if you are failing to become the person you want to be – it’s not a problem with yourself but instead with your habits’ designs. Habits are like Jewelry – and it’s important to design them with similar attention and care.
Then we open the floor for Q&A. Alessia answers questions about self-publishing her own book (and eventually audiobook!), how to find balance between chaos and order, vision and integration in business, and what the acronym A.C.T.S has to do with good habit design.
