Behind The Scenes: Identity Shifts & Big Changes

My Identity is Changing! Here’s how it is showing up in business. 

I’ve been all about the energy and process of Becoming recently.  The theme of Camp StarHeart was BECOMING.  And with Becoming, changes and shifts are made.  I am making changes.  

In January 2017 I was in a coaching membership program with Brooke Castillo. I never went to anything live but I listened to content and call replays on Sunday afternoons and her Podcasts. I got one insight that changed my life– to bring my brain and the thinking of my future self back to the current moment. I began playing with that concept.  “What decisions is Allison December 2018 & 2020 making? How is she thinking? What problems is she solving?”

In April 2017 I was feeling the full weight of my success as a coach, retreat leader, artist, all the things plus my tax bill (a success problem).  I felt a lot of pressure and I was going through perimenopause. I was seeing success on the outside, but my body inside couldn’t keep up and I had a mini breakdown.

In May 2017 I relieved the pressure on myself and I got help for my physical conditions. I began researching and thinking about how to implement the new plan for a membership program. My brain thought the person that has this going has professional help. I hired a professional who was a backend expert on building a membership site. I set it up as if it was completely full even though it had zero.

In October 2017 I opened the doors to that program.

In May 2018 I began to experiment with different ways to grow my business and hired Athena Digital Marketing to do an ad campaign that ran through July, August, & September.  It was a massive investment and it felt really good to try on the hat of someone who hires pro help.

In May 2019 I ran into a friend in Austin who shared that she was becoming a “mogul” and that word stuck with me. I began to play in that energy and consider what was my version of MOGUL.

Playing with BECOMING, the IDENTITY OF MY FUTURE SELF, and MOGUL has really begun to shift things in my mind and in my business. 

Only when I pulled the future thinking back to the current reality did I begin to experience such swift changes in my emotions, thinking, feelings, actions, and results.  The shifts I made were made around allowing help.

I was at a mastermind in NY and it came to me, Soulful Mogul.  I am creating life and work as a Soulful Mogul.

What would it be like to take something off my plate that I can actually do at a very high level but it requires a bunch of effort or time?  I hired Stacy Harris to create a one-year marketing plan. I’ve always been a fly by the seat of your pants person.  I always had a loose plan, but I was never into spreadsheets, tracking and training. She sees in strategy, chunks and seasons. She going to be working to create my podcast more planned, consistent, relevant and helpful.  Weekly shows will be released on Sunday night.

As I’m BECOMING I’m making slight adjustments in my communication, behavior, branding and how I choose to be helped in my business.

This is the last Allison Crow “winging it” episode.

I’m excited to have my full authentic self and expression supported by Stacy Harris and her team at Uncommonly More. I can use my energy to deliver value and insight to you.

I’m excited for my new way of my being in the world –my being the Soulful Mogul that I have become.  I’m feeling the light and joy of that. I’m feeling the transition of the woman who wanted to be that to the woman who is that. I’m excited to be sharing the details of the journey and to be coaching and supporting you on how to use this methodology of changing your thinking and bringing it back into the now and learning how to feel the difficult emotions and not shove them away so that you can become your version of Soul-Full Success. 

I am polishing it up for you guys. I am becoming more of who I am.

If you were to think about being a Soulful Mogul, a business person who has soul, successful financially, emotionally and time-wise and even multiple streams of income what would that be like?

  • Are you bumping into any of these problems my clients have?: 1. You don’t like to be consistent. Sure, you want to be, but it’s exhausting. It’s fun to show up when it’s fun, and it’s definitely not fun when not. 2. You have some fear around growing and getting better and what demands success will have on you. If so, I want to share something I am formulating with you. This is something simple you might not have thought about to help with these problems. It’s a path that helps you map out your offerings and get aligned and I’m sharing the whole thing on the podcast now. Plus, I am giving you a super secret tip at the end of describing the path. So take a listen (link in bio!) and if this path is something you think you can use to help you as well I’d love to know!
  • "[Allison] has this gentle way of encouraging, that makes me take action, as opposed to rebelling against an authoritarian bark of a command!" 💛 Thank you for your podcast reviews! I hear you on the rebellion part- embrace who you are, embrace your magic, and then find your action! If this type of thing sounds interesting to you too, check out my new episodes of the #BetterLifeBetterWork Show (link in bio) and leave a review if you are enjoying it!
  • @billy_flan s book is leaving on a jet plane to Australia! Do you have your copy of Hollywood, Texas? Grab it now! Thanks @tiffanyjanescott for sharing your cute face and a copy of the book. Can’t wait to hear why you think.
  • You may know by now that inside Soul-Full Success (my live coaching membership) we have fabulous weekly calls where we share all things life and biz. Well recently we talked about 3 big lessons I want to share with you. And while you look at these 3 lessons, I want you to think of the answers you would hold for yourself: 1. Identity – does your identity as a business owner match up with how you are believing, thinking, and doing? What could be more aligned? How do you know? 2. Knowing Your 3 – I’ve talked about this before, but what are your 3 front facing activities that keep you connected to your people and business? What isn't just another task, but one that fills you, one that connects you, one that can always bring you back to where you need to be? 3. Investing in Implementation – it’s easy for us to continue buying courses, coaches and formulas, but I challenge you to invest in actual implementation. For me that was assistance with marketing and weekly tasks. What would that look like in your business? I dive into these ideas deeper in a podcast episode from a few weeks ago ("3 Lessons from a Soulie Biz Coaching Session"- link in bio to the podcast), but these questions can get you started. And if you do ponder these questions and have some answers or insights, I'd love to hear them below!
  • This week I want to acknowledge that we all face difficult times, even as leaders. And in my work I’ve been lucky to gather some insights and advice from leaders around me about how we can navigate these difficult times. Because I think we live in a culture that expresses that leaders should have their shit together. They we should hide our emotions, toughen up, have a stiff upper lip, yadda, yadda, yadda. But this isn’t how Soul-Full leaders navigate these difficult times. So I want to share the insights I’ve learned about what Soul-Full leaders really do when they are facing something difficult and share some real stories to show you. I hope this helps you notice some of the bullshit our society tells us leaders have to be and helps you see how you can be your own, perfectly imperfect version of a leader. And if this episode resonates with you (link in bio), I’d love to know!
  • Do you know your 3 things? Your three things is a concept I came up with to help us all when we are feeling stressed and overwhelmed. You know the days and times when you just stall out. Where you want to go into your cocoon. Where you are possibly in a traumatic stress response and unsure what to do to move forward. Those are the times that you can turn to your three things. Your three things are the things that when you don't know what else to do, if you do one of them, it will help get you going. These are things outside of regular self care, these aren't you habitual go-tos like meditation and journaling, they're the BIG 3. So for me, my 3 things are: 1. Find someone to love and serve. 2. Get face to face with another human being. 3. Go Live with you all. If I am overwhelmed or don't know what to do, all I have to do is one of those 3 things and it starts the transformation in me. So I want to invite you to think for yourself what your three things are. What can be your go-to actions to help you when you need it most?
