Genius Session: my biz is taking time to generate steady income. Am I not in my genius?

 

Eavesdrop on a coaching call.

 

Today, we have Caroline Yuki on the phone today and we are chit-chatting about her genius! She wrote in with this question: “it’s taking a long time to get my business to generate steady income, how do I know if it’s because I’m not operating in my genius.” And today, we are exploring it together.

About Caroline:

Caroline Yuki is a former chemical engineer who has built manufacturing plants $20-$150MM globally turned serial entrepreneur. Caroline is a multi-passionate entrepreneur who executes whatever is on her mind yet finds that she is constantly juggling multiple projects and wants to simplify her life and figure out what that business would look like. Caroline has launched a personal finance education program for women, done marketing consulting, generated $450k revenue in sales for an e-commerce marketing firm in 4 months, and is on the board of a nonprofit organization because she enjoys making an impact.

What does she want to create?

Caroline wants to help ambitious high net worth women interested in investing and building their wealth, but don’t have the confidence in their money and investing skills yet.

Questions answered in this session:

  • I’ve been told by many I can do whatever I want. Yet, I seem to struggle with finding what my strength finder tests are trying to tell me. I've done Clifton Strengths Finder, Myers Brigg ...and the themes do overlap with inspiration, fire fighting, big visionary. I don’t know what kind of role that translates to. What are the steps after we discover our genius?

  • If a business is taking more than 6 months to generate a steady income, how do I know if its because Im not operating out of my genius zone? In other words, if I operate out of my geinus zone, does that mean the business will hit the ground running faster?

  • I tend to attract clients who are millennials like me, if I want to build a legacy business, how do I continue attracting the Gen Zs and future generations after that?

  • I’ve owned the boldmillionaire.com domain name for 3 years, I felt excited and empowered at first because I wanted to empower women to build wealth. However as women told me the domain name turned them off and sounded superficial, i started hiding my ideas and never quite got to launch. Can I just assume women who find the name superficial to not be my ideal client and be ok with it?

  • I enjoy educating, storytelling, inspiring, creative problem solving, and enjoy the freedom of remote working. I struggle with finding the right online business model for me, would it be educating and course creator?
    3) I often hear business coaches saying it’s less hustle and less work once people break through a certain barrier - what has the entrepreneurship journey felt like for you? Is it really less hustle once you have your genius and marketing system figured out? Anything you would have done differently?
