    From Invisible to Unstoppable - Carrie Vee
    Dec 23 2024
    In this episode of For Badass Entrepreneurs ONLY!, Coach Dan Gordon chats with Carrie Vee, a coach and international speaker specializing in reducing stress and boosting profits through unseen communication and leadership skills. Carrie shares her journey from feeling invisible to creating the Radical Empowerment Method. Learn how she helps others achieve empowerment and success despite facing profound personal losses and challenges. Discover valuable insights on mindset, overcoming failure, and the importance of self-compassion. Tune in for an inspiring and transformative conversation that will leave you ready to take on any entrepreneurial challenge.

    Five Badass Q&As
    Q1: What is the Radical Empowerment Method?
    A1: The Radical Empowerment Method is a pathway to living your most radical life. It involves specific steps from my 10-year journey of self-empowerment, helping people make more money, improve relationships, or love themselves and claim their worthiness.
    Q2: How do people become or feel invisible and ineffective?
    A2: It varies for each person, often starting in childhood due to being ignored at home or bullied at school. For entrepreneurs feeling this way despite their success, it usually stems from their mindset and the stories they create about themselves.
    Q3: What is a common mindset issue that entrepreneurs face?
    A3: Entrepreneurs often struggle with self-worth and the stories they tell themselves. They might feel ineffective or invisible despite knowing their clients love them. It’s crucial to catch and reframe negative thoughts to overcome these feelings.
    Q4: How do you deal with the fear of failure?
    A4: Acknowledge the fear and understand it's a part of growth. Embrace failures as learning experiences and take ownership of them. Recognize physical sensations signaling a negative spiral and reframe the story to move forward positively.
    Q5: How do you introduce gratitude to someone in pain?
    A5: Start every session with a gratitude question. If they can't think of anything, let it be. As the conversation progresses, they often realize small things they're grateful for. It's about allowing space for their feelings and gently guiding them to find gratitude.

    Five Badass Quotes
    1. The Radical Empowerment Method is your pathway to your most radical life.
    2. You are as worthy as you believe you are and not as worthy as you believe you are.
    3. Failure is only final if you decide that it's final.
    4. Allow yourself to feel all the feelings; that brings radical empowerment.
    5. Gratitude can come in a tiny package, and it’s okay to acknowledge that.
    Five Badass Takeaways
    1. Mindset is critical to overcoming feelings of invisibility and ineffectiveness.
    2. Acknowledge and reframe negative thoughts to boost self-worth.
    3. Embrace failure as a learning experience and an essential part of growth.
    4. Permit yourself to feel all emotions, even the difficult ones.
    5. Gratitude doesn't have to be grand; appreciating small things can shift your perspective.
