Welcome back to the Holistic Millionaire Podcast. Super excited to connect with you. Today's topic, we're going to be talking about three steps to be unstoppable as you grow your holistic business. Now more than ever, each and every one of us as holistic, world-changing holistic professionals are meant to really step into leadership and really bring our spiritual gifts into the world.
you know, shifts in consciousness create shifts in reality. That is the mantra I've been saying for many years. And obviously we need big shifts in consciousness. And so how do you remain unstoppable as you're navigating your own growth and expansion and the collective growth and expansion that's going on right now? So let's dive in. So the first step.
in becoming unstoppable is to realize as you're growing your business, you're going to be navigating personal things. You're going to be navigating things that are going on for your family members, anyone around you. As they're navigating challenges, you are working with that too.
And how do you navigate addressing those things or things that are going on collectively, you being impacted by things out of the blue? How do you navigate that and stay steady in the consistent growth and expansion of your holistic business? This was such a big learning for me in my first holistic business because my father had a lot of health issues. He had an aortic dissection when he was 48.
miraculously. They ended up catching it. He had emergency surgery, but for the next 20 years, he was in and out of very serious, intense surgeries, where oftentimes we didn't know if he would make it through the surgery. He would have just regular health issues that were just very scary, very overwhelming.

and for the first few years, I would just stop everything and I would just be by his side. And what was happening is I was like stopping and starting my, my business, my holistic business and the work that I came to the world to do. And so finally I noticed the pattern and I was like, how do I navigate this and continue to move my business forward? How can I be unstoppable?
So I, so the strategies that I'm going to share with you today are really the strategies that I implemented. So the first, the first strategy was my mindset shift that I could navigate and do both of them simultaneously. It also goes the same for, you know, when you're growing your business to the next level and you get triggered and activated.
with another layer of healing. And a lot of times, and this is again, I started 14 years ago, almost 15 years ago, working with holistic professionals. And the big thing that I coach our clients to do is yes, those things are gonna get triggered and activated. They are part of the path of your business growth expansion, but you do not put a hold on growing your business while you're processing that.
You are doing it simultaneously. And I have coached so many people because a lot of times it is people want to put a pause on what's going on in the growth of their business to process that thing. And I've seen people like three months they're processing. And I'm like, that is three months of growth in the business that you have lost. And so this was something for myself that I learned to navigate with in my.
situation with my father was was where I learned to do it. So the first mindset shift is going, I can do both because it can be a belief that I, you know, this is a family member. It's a priority. I need to, you know, put this at the top of my list and drop everything. Right. That's very common for women to do. And for me, it was like, I challenged myself and I'm like, I can do both. can continue to grow my business.

be present for my family, you know, when they need me, you know, my father, when he would be in the hospital. So one of the things that I would do is I would take my computer into the hospital. And when he was sleeping, I would be working on my business. And then when he was up and we could interact, but I was able to get, I was able to get things done. first step is mindset shift. You can navigate whatever challenges in front of you and
I'll go another level is oftentimes the challenge in front of you is the way to grow your business. There's a book by Ryan Holiday called The Obstacle is the Way. So a lot of times people think what's happening as they go to grow their business is a challenge or an obstacle or a barrier where I, after many years and then also my own experience, now I realize when you set that vision,
Everything that happens after it is part of the plan and the path to get you there. So that's the way, so the mindset shifts are I can do both. And also this challenge, is happening, this overwhelm with navigating so many things all at once is part of the path. Oftentimes by navigating that challenge, we're developing something inside of us. The other thing too,
is you, when you're going to higher levels of growth in your holistic business, you're growing into higher levels of responsibility to be able to navigate, you know, bigger things, hold more responsibility. And so a lot of times the universe is like, you want to grow, you want more responsibility, you want to step into be a higher level leader. Well, here's the things we're, we're preparing you for that. We're preparing your capacity.
to handle a lot at once. And once that landed for me, that was a game changer because this was, it was funny. It would always happen when I would lead events and particularly the event that I led in Florida in particular, there would always be just like these crazy things going on. And it would be a few days before I was leading, cause we would lead client retreats in Florida. I was doing back to back.
Shelley Riutta (06:59.34)
retreats for the holistic business school for visionary builder for level one certification for level three certification. I was like back to back trainings for like 10 to 13 days and I would have team members. The first team. It was like the first person would come and support me and then they would tap out and then another team member, you know, to break it up. So because it would be so long for anyone else.
And anyway, before those long, I would just have so much going on. And I'm like, what is going on? Like a lot simultaneously. And I remember asking my spiritual guidance, what is happening? This feels like how much can one person take? remember saying, and that is when the message came through, you're being prepared.
for higher levels of responsibility. And this is part of that process of being able to handle things under pressure, lots of things simultaneously. So once I got that message and then it would happen, I would be like, great. I totally get what's going on. So mindset shift is step number one to become unstoppable. Step number two is self-care. So going back to with my dad.
There would be times when I was living in Green Bay, he was having surgery in Madison, and so I would come and stay with my sister, but I would do all my self-care activities. I was getting enough rest, I was making sure I was eating really good food, and I just remember I would do my morning routine before I would go to the hospital. You know how it is when you're caring for someone, you're like, that's not important.
this is the priority and that was another mindset shift. I'm like, no, to be sustainable, to be able to do all that you need to do, you need to prioritize self care. So that is something, you know, a mindset shift. Self care makes you unstoppable. And the third step in becoming unstoppable is to stay in tune with your higher vision.
Shelley Riutta (09:17.43)
You have to have a vision for your business that you jump out of bed and you're like, I can't wait to get started. You have to have that fire in your belly. And if you don't, you might need to shift your mission or vision or uncover why you're holding back, why you're holding back from going all in, going all in with your vision. What does that look like versus standing on the sidelines?
fully or fully embodying your mission, vision, taking what you're doing seriously. A lot of times I see holistic professionals. It's almost like they're treating their life's work, their divine destiny, like a hobby. And I, you know, I look, I sometimes I see that and I'm like, what are you doing? Right? You came here with this divine destiny. You have a unique configuration of spiritual gifts.
You have the capacity to shift consciousness in the world and have a ripple effect that is massive. And you're sitting on the sidelines. You're getting distracted. You're taking yourself out with self-sabotage. Come on, right? So really challenge yourself. If that mission or vision, if you're not taking it seriously, if you're not going all in, challenge yourself and say, why am I doing that?
You will never regret going all in with your mission, your vision with yourself. Right. So breathing into that, make sure you have that fire in your belly. I mean, this is something I have right now that I'm so excited about the things that we're bringing forward in the holistic business school, the things that we're launching. I'm just like getting this morning. got up really early and you know, did my meditation and
recording this podcast and, and I'm excited. I'm excited to dive in and work on what we're working on. And I love who I'm working with. I love our clients and I love the mission and vision that we're bringing into the world. And it just lights me up. It inspires me. So what is that mission and vision that gives you a fire in the belly that
Shelley Riutta (11:38.09)
You are unstoppable innately. That is so important to you, so meaningful to you, that you will not get off track. What is that mission and vision? Or if you have the mission and vision, what is keeping you from going all in? It's just like that. What would it mean? So here's a journal prompt. What would it look like if I went all in and I didn't hold any energy back?
It's like playing sports, which I didn't play any full contact sports or anything like that. But I did. I have been in sports. We all have. We've played a game or whatever. What does that look like to go all in to not leave anything on the side that we're just give 150 %? What would that look like in journal about that? What would I be doing that I'm not doing right now?
How am I getting distracted? How am I self-sabotaging? How am I talking myself out of what I'm doing because of fear? Because to live that vision, to live your mission, you're going to have to do things that are scary. You're going to have to do things that are overwhelming because you're growing into that next level of the person that manifests that big mission and vision. That's the exciting part. It is the best growth path to be on because it
your mission and vision, you living it, you stepping into it, propels this big growth and expansion and alignment inside of you to be the fullness of, you know, what, who you came here to be. so I'm so excited about you becoming unstoppable because we need you to be unstoppable. Souls of service, people that have,
heart centered missions, that they're here to shift consciousness, that, cause we all know that we could be living from a dramatically different place, from a place of love, joy, justice, freedom, honoring of everyone, loving everyone, everyone's aligned with their life purpose and living lives of expression, love, freedom, adventure, right?
Shelley Riutta (13:57.186)
So one of the things that I see right now, it's like people either live out drama out of their conditioned self, or they live out, you know, their divine destiny and a sense of adventure in their authentic self. Imagine a world where everyone was lined up with that, you know, from a sense of life purpose, divine destiny from love, loving themselves, loving other people, contributing to humanity in a positive way.
Imagine a world where everyone is lit up with that. So that is the world that we're creating together. So sending you big love and I can't wait to connect with you on the next episode.
