Doing Business ‘Backwards’ with Emily Aarons — Glambition® Radio Episode 283 with Ali Brown

As high-achieving women, we often don’t consider how much we’re operating in our *masculine* energy. And we assume that business is supposed to feel hard — and even at times unenjoyable. Could there really be another way? And if so, would it actually feel ‘backwards’ compared with how we’ve been trained to do business? 

But today’s Glambition Radio guest, Emily Aarons, is all about making quantum leaps in your business *without* more hustle. It all changes when you learn how to tap into your feminine energy, trust your intuition, and give yourself permission to say ‘NO’ to the tactics and strategies that feel out of alignment.

Launching the Lash Revolution with Anna Phillips of The Lash Lounge® — Glambition® Radio Episode 282 with Ali Brown

LASHES… they’re everywhere, and now many of us can’t go without them. They’ve become a lucrative category within the business of beauty. But where did this eyelash extension trend come from in the first place, when did it happen, and who really took it mainstream? 

Meet Anna Phillips, founder and chief innovation officer of The Lash Lounge, who first spotted the semi-permanent lash opportunity that had just arrived from overseas back in 2003. And she’s sharing her WHOLE story today on #GlambitionRadio! 

After testing out her own salon doing nothing but lashes, she knew it was time to lead the U.S.

A.I. won’t be able to replace this…

If you’ve been following along with progress in tech, you’re likely aware of how fast we are moving toward a world run by A.I. (artificial intelligence). 

In fact, one local mom I met recently confided in me that what her business does is basically help her corporate clients see how they can replace as many employees as possible with A.I. 

Some of this progress seems positive, as of course there are mundane jobs that could easily be taken over by tech, things people don’t want to do, and ways to incredibly shortcut time, money, and energy.

How to turn ‘not knowing’ into one of your biggest assets…

You’ve heard me share that creativity has been on a downward spiral in many areas of society as a result of profound information overload… as well as newly controlled narratives. 

But what about in business?

No doubt there’s been forced innovation in many areas, as we’ve had no choice but to come up with solutions, and fast. 

Beyond that… there’s a good portion of things we just don’t know right now within our companies, our models, our markets. 

And can I tell you a secret?

The ONE simple shift you need…

In 2018 I hosted a one-time workshop on creativity for entrepreneurs, after seeing so many of the women I worked with become locked into models that no longer served their futures.

My objective? To identify and then completely disrupt any set ways of thinking around what their business should look like to be successful.  

We sparked stimulating new ideas for their businesses using concepts from major creative companies like Apple and marketing from pop culture icons such as the Kardashians. 

We took their current revenue models and then worked up at least 10 other ways they could be generating even more profits.

Why I’m on ‘Team Ye’…

One thing I love to do at my workshops is pull in pop culture examples of business and success principles.

For example, I have a love/hate thing with Kanye West.

I don’t keep up with much self-inflated celeb nonsense these days, but he’s one that can draw me back in, if I’m paying attention. 

Because – love him or hate him – his creative genius is… OFF. THE. CHARTS. 

I don’t really enjoy Kanye’s music. I don’t agree with many things he typically says or does. And of course, let’s not forget he can be a pompous ass.

Welcome to the jungle…

It’s the jungle of 2022. 

And you already feel it’s different, right?

Welcome to a new place where “normal” no longer exists.

And frankly, it’s a good thing for you and your business.

Because aiming for “normal” equals normal results – for you AND your clients. It also means ‘normal’ impact and ‘normal’ fulfillment. 

That sounds, to me, incredibly stagnant. And boring. Zzzzzzzzz.

I know you aren’t here to make an average impact, or offer mediocre services.

But how do we break out of the box of ‘normal’, which we’ve been programmed to work within?
