How to Own Your Genius
<p>When I started out as a coach, <strong>“The Big Leap”</strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/Big-Leap-Conquer-Hidden-Level/dp/0061735361"> </a>was one of those books that fellow coaches kept talking about—foundational reading for personal growth. </p><p>But as a former English major and MBA, I was skeptical of what I perceived as a particular brand of self-help book. </p><p>I bought the book but: </p><p>* It collected dust on my nightstand for months</p><p>* I almost couldn’t finish Chapter 1 at first 😆</p><p>Yet—stay with me here—I’ve come to genuinely love the ideas in this book.</p><p>It’s become <strong>required reading and a book I recommended regularly</strong> to people who want more for themselves.</p><p>Why it’s important </p><p>“The Big Leap” is ultimately about living your most successful life, but at its core is the idea of living in your genius. </p><p>It isn’t written for entrepreneurs explicitly, but I find this idea of genius to be particularly useful for those on the brink of entrepreneurship as well as current entrepreneurs who are still refining what they’re best at. </p><p><strong>The book is both aspirational and practical</strong>, offering<strong> a simple framework</strong> for:</p><p>* How we can spend more time doing what we love and what we’re great at</p><p>* How to identify the forces that hold us back </p><p>* How we can create more success in our lives </p><p>Of course, we all seek full ownership over our lives and impact, but for entrepreneurs, it’s a deep and considerable motivation. </p><p>My favorite ideas</p><p>In this week’s podcast episode, I discuss my favorite concepts from the book:</p><p>* <strong>The Zone of Genius</strong>: The activities that hold the keys to our own success and fulfillment</p><p>* <strong>The Upper Limit Problem</strong>: The emotional ceiling we’ve created for ourselves that keeps us from our Zone of Genius</p><p>* <strong>The Seduction of Excellence</strong>: The activities we’re recognized for but that ultimately drain us and keep us from our genius </p><p>Take a listen. Enjoy! </p><p>- Elliot</p><p><p><strong>Want to read this book?</strong> I’ll send a copy to the first 10 people who leave a comment or <a target="_blank" href="mailto:elliotgreenberger@gmail.com">send me an email</a> sharing what they thought of the episode!</p></p><p><strong>More resources for you</strong></p><p>* <strong>“Purpose for Entrepreneurs” Group Course</strong>: In late April, I’ll be leading a group course for entrepreneurs who want to clarify and build confidence in their purpose. It’ll be an 8-week virtual course limited to 10 people, and I’ll be running it with an amazing fellow coach. Full details coming soon, but if you might be interested, <a target="_blank" href="https://maven.com/forms/dca048">sign up here for updates</a> or send me a note! </p><p>* <strong>Individual Coaching</strong>: I coach experienced, early, and could-be entrepreneurs who want to step more fully into themselves and their vision. If this is you—or if you know anyone who might benefit—I’d love to hear from you. Take a look at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.elliotgreenberger.com/">my website</a> and click “Let’s Connect” to set up time together. One-third of my clients are referrals, and I appreciate those who share my name with others. 🙏</p><p>* <strong>This Newsletter</strong>: Earlier this month, I wrote an update called <a target="_blank" href="https://oncourage.substack.com/p/what-this-is-becoming">“What This is Becoming”</a>, where I talked about how this newsletter and podcast are evolving. I’ll be focusing more on helping entrepreneurs access their inner courage, and I’m working with a podcast coach to keep refining this over the coming months.

14. How to Know You're on the Right Path
<p>This question—”How do I know if I’m on the right path in life?”—is a common one. I’ve certainly wondered this myself, and I’m sure there are people reading this who are asking themselves this question right now.</p><p><strong>The intent behind this question is beautiful</strong>. If you’re asking yourself this question, it means you’re wanting to take the reigns of your life and be more purposeful in it. We love that. </p><p>But I believe the very phrasing of this question is deeply flawed, and ultimately renders it impossible to answer with clarity. </p><p>In this episode, I walk through my critique and <strong>offer an alternative question</strong>! A question that’s more expansive and ultimately more useful. </p><p><strong>Key Episode Takeaways:</strong></p><p>* <strong>Shift Your Question:</strong> Instead of asking if you're on the "right path”, ask yourself what you want in life. This simple change opens up possibilities and allows for a more fulfilling exploration.</p><p>* <strong>Define Your Wants:</strong> Take the opportunity to define what you want in life now. Use tools like the <a target="_blank" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WUXOhGXTvWiqiBJip-wiVQl9QHyxmKtM/view">Wheel of Life</a> or the <a target="_blank" href="https://yourtenyearplan.com/">10-Year Plan</a> to clarify your goals and values.</p><p>* <strong>Find What Works for You</strong>: Exploring your desires can be intimidating but it can also be fun! Find the process that feels exciting to you and engage other people as you wish.</p><p>* <strong>Measure Your Progress:</strong> Regularly assess your progress towards your vision using a simple 1-10 scale. This allows you to adjust and ensure you're moving in a direction that aligns with your desires.</p><p>* <strong>An Ongoing Process</strong>: This isn’t a question you ask once and then move on—or something you only ask in a crisis or when in doubt. It’s a question you should continually ask yourself and build on. </p><p>If you got any new insights from this episode—or if it’s helped you clarify next steps you can take—I’d love to hear your thoughts. Leave a comment or send me a note!</p><p>And if you believe this episode can help someone in your life, I encourage you to share it with them.</p><p>- Elliot</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

13. A Better Way to Sell Yourself
<p>In this episode, I offer a more purposeful, sustainable, and effective way of selling yourself—regardless of your circumstances.</p><p>The trap we often fall into is that we make it our goal to close the deal. That’s where our focus and our measure of success goes.</p><p>But the trick is to focus on being of service, and orient yourself around that.</p><p>This orientation is something I’ve learned in my own process of running my own business, and a need that emerges regularly in my clients. It’s a simple shift that can allow you to navigate sales more easily and also have a bigger impact.</p><p><strong>Key Episode Takeaways:</strong></p><p>* <strong>Selling Yourself with Purpose:</strong> Selling yourself is essential for pursuing your ambitions, whether in job interviews, client pitches, or starting a business. However, it often feels uncomfortable or draining.</p><p>* <strong>The Trap of Closing the Deal:</strong> Focusing solely on closing the deal can be counterproductive. It can lead to missing the client's real needs, feeling personal pressure, and creating a win-lose situation.</p><p>* <strong>Grounding in Service:</strong> The key to effective selling is to focus on being of service rather than closing the deal. This approach is empowering, allowing you to fully control what you can control.</p><p>* <strong>An Actor’s Approach:</strong> Bryan Cranston's advice to actors on this topic applies universally. Instead of trying to get the job, focus on presenting the work you do and walking away powerfully.</p><p>* <strong>Incorporating Service into Your Sales:</strong> Define who you serve and how, focusing on the impact you have. Consider how being of service can change your mindset as well as your actions during sales interactions.</p><p>* <strong>The Bigger Picture:</strong> Selling should be part of a continuous effort to be of service, not just in specific moments. Building your connection to being of service will help you sell more effectively, and help you make a bigger impact.</p><p>If you got any new insights here—or if you have next steps you want to take as a result of this—I’d love to hear your thoughts. Leave a comment or send me a note!</p><p>And if you believe this episode can help someone in your life, I encourage you to share it with them.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
