00:00:00
Speaker 1: Do you sometimes feel numb when it comes to technology
00:00:03
Speaker 1: and you feel that there's so much to do while
00:00:05
Speaker 1: actually building and growing a coaching business. If that's the case,
00:00:08
Speaker 1: this podcast is for you. I'm gonna be sharing with
00:00:09
Speaker 1: you six ways on how you can bust this fear
00:00:12
Speaker 1: for good.
00:00:14
Speaker 1: I still remember the first time I walked into my
00:00:16
Speaker 1: Sound Engineering Institute in the year 2001. Uh there were
00:00:20
Speaker 1: around 20 people in that batch and in that entire batch,
00:00:23
Speaker 1: I was the one who felt that I was technologically
00:00:26
Speaker 1: so challenged. That means I did not know anything about computers.
00:00:30
Speaker 1: All of my friends were talking about Ram and Rom
00:00:32
Speaker 1: and this and that. And I felt so out of place.
00:00:35
Speaker 1: And I remember on that day when I actually entered
00:00:39
Speaker 1: the first day of school and, and the college institute
00:00:41
Speaker 1: and I experienced this, I decided that
00:00:44
Speaker 1: by the, by the time I leave this institute, I
00:00:46
Speaker 1: need to overcome all of this. Because if I was
00:00:49
Speaker 1: going to continue in that same pattern of thinking of
00:00:51
Speaker 1: myself as a non technology person, then there's no way
00:00:55
Speaker 1: I could have got to the entire Institute. In fact,
00:00:57
Speaker 1: by the end of those nine months, I was able
00:01:00
Speaker 1: to completely rip apart a studio and put it back together,
00:01:02
Speaker 1: whether it's an analog studio or a digital studio. So
00:01:05
Speaker 1: what I want to share with you in this audio
00:01:06
Speaker 1: will be really inspiring for you because I've been through
00:01:08
Speaker 1: that same journey of having fear with technology, but facing
00:01:11
Speaker 1: it head on and
00:01:13
Speaker 1: right now, if you see, I can qualify myself as
00:01:15
Speaker 1: a geek in this space. And uh and I just
00:01:18
Speaker 1: fell in love with the whole process of how to
00:01:21
Speaker 1: approach overcoming technology hurdles and especially in the coaching business.
00:01:24
Speaker 1: I know many of you here who are listening to this,
00:01:26
Speaker 1: maybe in my community or maybe above 40 50 plus
00:01:30
Speaker 1: in age and you have kind of thought to yourself
00:01:32
Speaker 1: that maybe this is not the right thing for me
00:01:34
Speaker 1: or maybe this is uh you know, only for people
00:01:38
Speaker 1: who are more acclimatized to technology and stuff like that.
00:01:41
Speaker 1: But having said that
00:01:42
Speaker 1: the answer is anybody can change, anybody can grow. It
00:01:45
Speaker 1: doesn't matter whether you're 75 80 years old, it doesn't
00:01:48
Speaker 1: matter whether you're a nine year old kid.
00:01:50
Speaker 1: Today, we are living in a world where if you're
00:01:52
Speaker 1: not adapting and adopting technology, you're going to be living
00:01:56
Speaker 1: in a stone age. And it's just a matter of
00:01:57
Speaker 1: time uh that somebody else will actually overtake you. And
00:02:00
Speaker 1: I don't want you to become a dinosaur in today's
00:02:02
Speaker 1: day and age. But let's get into the six points
00:02:04
Speaker 1: right now. The first way on how to overcome the
00:02:07
Speaker 1: fear of technology while building a coaching business is to
00:02:10
Speaker 1: drop the tags and be open to learning.
00:02:13
Speaker 1: You know, what are the tags? I'm too old. I'm
00:02:15
Speaker 1: too young. I'm a nontechnical person. I'm, uh, you know, whatever. I, I'm,
00:02:20
Speaker 1: I'm not having this background. I've not studied this. All
00:02:24
Speaker 1: that is just BS if you ask me, um, drop
00:02:27
Speaker 1: those tags and be open to learning. And when you
00:02:30
Speaker 1: drop the tags, it just opens up a whole new
00:02:33
Speaker 1: world of opportunities because now you're removing the lid
00:02:36
Speaker 1: off from your head. And you're saying that I'm, it
00:02:39
Speaker 1: does not matter what my background is. All that matters
00:02:42
Speaker 1: is what I want to put into my head. And
00:02:45
Speaker 1: that is the first starting point when it comes to
00:02:48
Speaker 1: overcoming any kind of technology hurdles. And that's what happened
00:02:50
Speaker 1: in my case when I entered the Diplomats Sound engineering
00:02:53
Speaker 1: course on day one, I decided that I'm gonna drop
00:02:56
Speaker 1: this tag saying that I'm not a technical guy, but
00:02:59
Speaker 1: I'm gonna become a technical guy in the next 3
00:03:01
Speaker 1: to 4 months. And, and I, I was determined to
00:03:02
Speaker 1: actually make that happen. OK?
00:03:04
Speaker 1: The second way to overcome the fear of technology while
00:03:07
Speaker 1: building a coaching business is to stop looking at the peak.
00:03:12
Speaker 1: Now, the peak could be many things you're looking at,
00:03:15
Speaker 1: people are making lacks of rupees per month, crows every
00:03:18
Speaker 1: single year. You're looking at many other coaches who are
00:03:21
Speaker 1: nailing it and doing high flying videos and high five
00:03:24
Speaker 1: studio set up and all kinds of, you know, really
00:03:26
Speaker 1: crazy audio gear. And you're looking at these creators and
00:03:29
Speaker 1: influencers and they are like 20, 30, 40 likes on
00:03:32
Speaker 1: their post. And suddenly you're putting yourself down in a
00:03:35
Speaker 1: pit and you are looking at everybody as the peak.
00:03:40
Speaker 1: And you're thinking that oh man, for me to get
00:03:42
Speaker 1: to that level of becoming an ultimate coach that is,
00:03:44
Speaker 1: you know, it's so difficult because I have to literally
00:03:47
Speaker 1: climb Mount Everest right now. But honestly, everybody who achieved anything,
00:03:53
Speaker 1: even in our, in our community, in the internet, we
00:03:55
Speaker 1: have so many, we have many 10 path, we have
00:03:58
Speaker 1: many six figure on everybody started at ground zero. So
00:04:02
Speaker 1: the secret to overcoming the fear of technology is to
00:04:04
Speaker 1: stop looking at the peak and just focus on your
00:04:07
Speaker 1: next step.
00:04:08
Speaker 1: If you're going through the hackathon, just complete everything at
00:04:11
Speaker 1: the pace of the hackathon. If you're going through my courses,
00:04:14
Speaker 1: follow the pace of learning of the courses. In fact,
00:04:16
Speaker 1: if you're not a part of my community, just go
00:04:17
Speaker 1: to internet life sell dot com on the menu on
00:04:19
Speaker 1: the top, there is something called path. Click on the path.
00:04:22
Speaker 1: I've beautifully designed the path. In fact, the brand new
00:04:24
Speaker 1: path page has been designed and you can go and
00:04:26
Speaker 1: check it out later yourself
00:04:28
Speaker 1: before I had it as a PDF download. But now
00:04:30
Speaker 1: I have it as a beautiful uh you know, visualization
00:04:33
Speaker 1: on the website itself. So if you follow the path,
00:04:36
Speaker 1: you won't get overwhelmed by the peak. And when you're
00:04:39
Speaker 1: going along with the, you know, the members of the community,
00:04:42
Speaker 1: especially if you're in the hackathon, I put you into
00:04:43
Speaker 1: different teams and stuff. It makes the journey so much fun.
00:04:46
Speaker 1: So you're not focusing so much about the overwhelm when
00:04:48
Speaker 1: it comes to technology and you, but you're only focusing
00:04:51
Speaker 1: on the next step.
00:04:52
Speaker 1: OK? Now, the third way to overcome the fear of
00:04:54
Speaker 1: technology in a coaching business is to learn one tool
00:04:58
Speaker 1: or one skill at a time,
00:05:01
Speaker 1: you don't have to learn everything in one go.
00:05:03
Speaker 1: What you can do is dedicate one weekend for one tool.
00:05:06
Speaker 1: So let's say it's gonna be a learning management system,
00:05:09
Speaker 1: spend one weekend on learning that it's gonna be an
00:05:11
Speaker 1: email marketing system, spend one weekend on learning that if
00:05:14
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tracking system because there are many,
00:05:17
Speaker 1: there are at least 3 to 4 critical systems that
00:05:19
Speaker 1: I even I use in my business.
00:05:20
Speaker 1: I recommend for everybody to really get hands on. So
00:05:23
Speaker 1: if you can dedicate to one weekend for one tool,
00:05:25
Speaker 1: spend 4 to 5 hours understanding all the features, click
00:05:28
Speaker 1: on every single part of the tool and with that
00:05:30
Speaker 1: open mind, you just understand the logic brand, how it
00:05:33
Speaker 1: works and it's easy. The second time you do it,
00:05:35
Speaker 1: you'll be much faster at it.
00:05:37
Speaker 1: And that's what happens. Most people, they don't even take
00:05:39
Speaker 1: that first step and they get stuck in a loop
00:05:42
Speaker 1: and they're expecting others to do it for them and
00:05:44
Speaker 1: everything gets delayed, their launch gets delayed and the entire
00:05:47
Speaker 1: business goes for a toss.
00:05:49
Speaker 1: So number three is learn 11 tool or one skill
00:05:51
Speaker 1: at a time. Number four is the best way to
00:05:54
Speaker 1: overcome the fear of technology while building a coaching business
00:05:57
Speaker 1: is to find an accountability partner or a hackathon buddy. Now,
00:06:01
Speaker 1: if you're not a part of our community, please go
00:06:02
Speaker 1: to S ID ZSS dot co slash join and join
00:06:06
Speaker 1: us low membership. You can be a part of a
00:06:08
Speaker 1: hackathon and once you're in the hackathon, I'm gonna be
00:06:10
Speaker 1: mapping you into teams where you can hand hold each
00:06:13
Speaker 1: other and hold each other accountable as you go through
00:06:15
Speaker 1: the entire journey.
00:06:16
Speaker 1: In the current version of the hackathon, I'm mapping people
00:06:18
Speaker 1: into groups of five and these five people, they work
00:06:22
Speaker 1: with each other, they push each other so that they
00:06:24
Speaker 1: finish the entire hackathon and receive the freedom finisher awards.
00:06:27
Speaker 1: So I made this into a really fun game because
00:06:29
Speaker 1: those of you have this fear of technology when you're
00:06:30
Speaker 1: on your own, there's a high probability that you will
00:06:33
Speaker 1: quit and you'll move over giving excuses that, you know,
00:06:35
Speaker 1: this is too much for me to handle and stuff
00:06:37
Speaker 1: like that. When you have even one or two people
00:06:39
Speaker 1: on the other side who are pushing you and saying that, hey,
00:06:41
Speaker 1: you can't give up right now. You got to move forward.
00:06:43
Speaker 1: You gotta like,
00:06:43
Speaker 1: you know, make this happen no matter what, ok. Don't,
00:06:46
Speaker 1: don't quit right now. When you have those kind of
00:06:48
Speaker 1: people surrounding you, you will learn technology and you will
00:06:51
Speaker 1: start to make progress much faster than ever.
00:06:54
Speaker 1: Number five, if you want to overcome the fear of
00:06:57
Speaker 1: technology while building a coaching business, beat the complacent mind.
00:07:01
Speaker 1: This mind is like a monkey mind. It jumps from
00:07:03
Speaker 1: one place to the other. Your mind can either be
00:07:05
Speaker 1: your best friend or your worst enemy. We know that
00:07:06
Speaker 1: some of you might have heard of this before. Even it,
00:07:08
Speaker 1: it's written in the bug with also, right? Even Arjuna
00:07:12
Speaker 1: goes to Krishna and says I can control the wind
00:07:15
Speaker 1: but I can't control my mind. But Lord Krishna tells
00:07:17
Speaker 1: him that it's ok, Arjuna, even if you can't control
00:07:19
Speaker 1: the wind,
00:07:20
Speaker 1: uh if you can't control your mind, you can. But
00:07:22
Speaker 1: through practice, through practice, anything can happen in the beginning,
00:07:25
Speaker 1: it may be difficult. But later on, it gets better
00:07:28
Speaker 1: as I say, right, your your environment is stronger than
00:07:31
Speaker 1: your willpower.
00:07:32
Speaker 1: And in case some of you here have this issue
00:07:35
Speaker 1: where you start to do something. You come across some
00:07:38
Speaker 1: technology and suddenly the mind tells you that. Oh, no,
00:07:41
Speaker 1: don't do it right now. You know, it is too,
00:07:43
Speaker 1: it is too difficult or whatever. Right? Whenever you come
00:07:46
Speaker 1: across that situation where you know that your mind is
00:07:48
Speaker 1: telling you to be more comfortable and complacent beat it.
00:07:52
Speaker 1: And how do you do it, do it anyway when
00:07:54
Speaker 1: your mind throws a resistance
00:07:57
Speaker 1: because what will happen is
00:07:59
Speaker 1: the mind is giving you a suggestion to be more comfortable. Ok?
00:08:02
Speaker 1: At that very moment, if you tell the mind, thank
00:08:04
Speaker 1: you so much for this. But I'm gonna do it
00:08:06
Speaker 1: anyway and see what happens and you do it. What
00:08:08
Speaker 1: happens is it's gonna trick your mind and you're gonna
00:08:10
Speaker 1: be moving to a next level of uh productivity or
00:08:13
Speaker 1: action taking where the next time the mind tells you
00:08:16
Speaker 1: the same thing. You'll actually build that mental muscle of
00:08:19
Speaker 1: overcoming resistances. This entire game is just a game of resistance.
00:08:23
Speaker 1: Everybody has resistances,
00:08:25
Speaker 1: ok? Including myself. I've had different resistances at different stages
00:08:28
Speaker 1: in my business and I continue to have different resistances
00:08:30
Speaker 1: at what stage that I'm in. So it never ends.
00:08:33
Speaker 1: But the whole idea is when you can, when you
00:08:35
Speaker 1: do something anyway, in spite of the fear being there,
00:08:38
Speaker 1: whenever your mind throws a resistance, that is going to
00:08:41
Speaker 1: be your true superpower.
00:08:44
Speaker 1: And finally, number six, the best way to overcome your
00:08:46
Speaker 1: fear of technology by building a coaching business is to
00:08:49
Speaker 1: first list down all the reasons why your dreams must
00:08:53
Speaker 1: be a priority. Why do you even want to do
00:08:55
Speaker 1: this coaching business? Why do you want to build communities?
00:08:58
Speaker 1: Why do you want to really build a business online
00:09:00
Speaker 1: from the comfort of your home? Like make a list
00:09:02
Speaker 1: of at least 21 things on why your dreams must
00:09:05
Speaker 1: be a priority. Because when you intensify your, why
00:09:09
Speaker 1: all of the other challenges will become very trivial for me.
00:09:13
Speaker 1: When I got deep into understanding the reason why I
00:09:16
Speaker 1: want to do what I wanted to do, then what
00:09:18
Speaker 1: are the challenges that keep coming? My way? It only
00:09:20
Speaker 1: becomes uh you know, it's, it's only becoming a stepping
00:09:25
Speaker 1: stone to move up to the next level.
00:09:27
Speaker 1: And I continue to have challenges at different stages in
00:09:30
Speaker 1: my business. Sometimes there are product challenges, sometimes there are
00:09:32
Speaker 1: people challenges, sometimes there are community challenges. Sometimes there are,
00:09:35
Speaker 1: you know, external challenges where people are trying to come
00:09:38
Speaker 1: and just uh you know, hack into this community and
00:09:41
Speaker 1: take customers from here and all kinds of crazy things happen.
00:09:43
Speaker 1: But the beautiful thing is because you have a strong
00:09:45
Speaker 1: code of honor. We are able to find quick solutions
00:09:49
Speaker 1: to those challenges by maintaining the sanctity and beauty of
00:09:53
Speaker 1: this community, by
00:09:55
Speaker 1: bringing back the Y on the front.
00:09:58
Speaker 1: OK. You'll notice in this world there'll be two kinds
00:10:02
Speaker 1: of people
00:10:03
Speaker 1: the wolves. Like, what I'm trying to do is I'm
00:10:06
Speaker 1: basically trying to create like a pack of wolves here.
00:10:09
Speaker 1: And the wolves have a very strong code of honor.
00:10:11
Speaker 1: There's an, there's an alpha wolf. They're very protective of
00:10:13
Speaker 1: their family and their community. Yeah. And that's a very
00:10:17
Speaker 1: good mindset to keep where the wolves have always had this. If,
00:10:20
Speaker 1: even if you have watched the movie, you know, Mogli
00:10:22
Speaker 1: and stuff, you know, that Mogli was brought up in
00:10:25
Speaker 1: a wolf pack. And um there's so much of bonding
00:10:28
Speaker 1: in a wolf pack and support for each other in
00:10:30
Speaker 1: a wolf pack.
00:10:31
Speaker 1: But on the other side, you also have the jackals,
00:10:34
Speaker 1: the jackals who go and uh you know, work for
00:10:37
Speaker 1: some tiger and they come in and they, they feed
00:10:39
Speaker 1: on other, other people's success. Now you have to identify
00:10:44
Speaker 1: when situations like this happen. There are wolves and jackals
00:10:47
Speaker 1: in the entire industry, you would find different kinds of
00:10:49
Speaker 1: people and, you know, you can identify one when you
00:10:51
Speaker 1: see one based on their intent and, and the way
00:10:53
Speaker 1: that they operate as a person,
00:10:55
Speaker 1: uh that is when you got to really, you know,
00:10:57
Speaker 1: put on the guard and see how you can actually grow.
00:10:59
Speaker 1: So how is this connected to technology as you're growing
00:11:02
Speaker 1: in your business? You will also come across all different tools,
00:11:04
Speaker 1: all different hacks, all different ways of using technology, but
00:11:08
Speaker 1: who you're learning technology from also matters because once your
00:11:11
Speaker 1: dreams are made as a priority and you know, what
00:11:14
Speaker 1: is your reason why? And once your values are strong,
00:11:17
Speaker 1: then you'll be able to find mentors who are teaching technology,
00:11:20
Speaker 1: who are aligned with your values.
00:11:22
Speaker 1: OK. So don't just go to some place and learn
00:11:25
Speaker 1: something just because somebody is making more money where if
00:11:28
Speaker 1: you know that their intention is not in the right place,
00:11:30
Speaker 1: uh take that one step back and question yourself like,
00:11:32
Speaker 1: why are you even in that place? OK.
00:11:35
Speaker 1: So the whole idea of why am I sharing this
00:11:37
Speaker 1: podcast with all of you is to help you understand
00:11:39
Speaker 1: that to overcome technology, you got to drop the tags.
00:11:42
Speaker 1: You got to stop looking at the peak, you got
00:11:44
Speaker 1: to learn one tool or one skill at a time.
00:11:46
Speaker 1: You got to find an accountability partner. You got to
00:11:47
Speaker 1: be the complacent mind and intensify your why when this happens,
00:11:52
Speaker 1: everything becomes much easier for you.
00:11:54
