Go With the Fear & Grow With Dijana Llugolli

Original Air Date: October 14, 2020

It is vital to cultivate a healthy relationship with fear and failure. 

Yeah. 

I know.

Easier said than done. 

In order to live this truth, I have to recommit to it every single day. 

Because every single day fear makes itself known. 

I feel it as a tight knot in my stomach. 

Tension in my shoulders. 

I recognize it in my defensiveness. 

When I’m short with people. 

I see it clearly during the times where I would rather be right than happy. 

Where I fight for my limiting beliefs. 

Fear would have me clutch the painful familiar rather than embrace the liberating unknown. 

I have learned it isn’t possible to get rid of fear.

Or to vision board it away. 

Instead, I must accept it as part of my present experience. 

Without resistance. 

Without fighting it. 

Just observe it. 

And little by little, its grip releases. 

A huge factor in this journey is being conscious of the voices I let into my head. 

I want to be really intentional that I am ingesting words and energy that contribute to a growth mindset. 

That is why I am so intentional of the guests I share with you each week on T.H.E. Celebration. 

On that note, this week's guest, Dijana Llugolli, is a rock star when it comes to fear and growth. 

Diana Dijana Llugolli is a leading success and business coach in Scandinavia with a client base in 23 different countries. Her story as an online marketer, coach, and speaker started in March 2018, when she burned out, nearly divorced, and, on the verge of giving up, decided to make a pivotal change in her business. 

After that rock bottom, she became obsessed with working smarter rather than harder, and she is now the go-to expert for female entrepreneurs who are ready to make more impact, influence, and income. 

Her genius lies in her knowledge of automation, systems, and funnels – and now, she is on a mission to support a million women to be, do, and have whatever they desire. To live their version of a Freedom Lifestyle.

I had so many “aha!”s while recording this episode, and I’ve been really excited for its release! 

At the root of our goals, our intentions, and our visions is our mindset. 

This conversation with Dijana is going to serve you in such a big way. 

So take a deep breath. 

Exhale. 

And then hit play.

Answering Your Facebook/IG Ads FAQs With Stacey Cosden, Nickey Rautenberg Norrish, and Tom Earl

There are so many misconceptions around Facebook and Instagram Ads.  Add to the mix the tech giants Apple and Facebook going after each other - and you can have a recipe for confusion. 

On this week’s episode, we address some of the most frequently asked Facebook Ads questions that we receive. 

I am joined by two brilliant marketers - Stacey Cosden and Nickey Rautenberg Norrish.  I also get the honor of working with Nickey and Stacey through my Facebook Ads agency - THE Celebration Media. 

Questions we covered include: 

  • How long should your video ads be?

  • The difference between running ads to a cold audience vs a warm audience. 

  • How to set an ads budget and identify revenue goals.

  • What do when people aren’t watching your videos.

  • What is an income level where ads make sense? 

  • Should all ads be video ads?

  • How to run ads for products vs services?

  • Is there a difference between a Facebook and an Instagram ad?

  • The difference between an organic strategy and a paid strategy? 

Like I said - we cover a lot of questions that I know you’ll get a ton of value from.

Whether you’re just getting started with ads, or are an expert, I know you’ll gain some powerful insights from this conversation. 

And of course - let me know if you have any follow-up questions! 

Do yourself this favor.

Big Bold Beyond The Stars Dreams

This week's episode holds a special place in my heart. When I first launched my year of expression in 2016, I didn’t have a clear vision of the path I was going down. For many, many weeks, I would put out a new episode and not really know if anyone had listened to it. 

Then I put out this episode, and a whole bunch of strangers emailed me and shared how much it mattered to them. While I don’t create my episodes just for the affirmations, it was very heartwarming to know that what I was doing was having an impact. 

As I continue to enjoy my paternity leave, here is this week’s replay from 2017. And so that we can really get into the mood, here was the original writeup: 

This year (2017) I am asking, "Where can I find balance? Where can I invite balance?"  I’m bringing balance to the time I spend in creating BIG, BOLD, BEYOND THE STARS DREAMS. 

I’ve noticed a lot of my dreams only go a little bit outside of my comfort zone. Or I dream, but I let my limiting beliefs bonsai my goals and visions.  

This year, I am ready to have rocket ship dreams!  Dreams that take me to my highest potential and more!  I’m spending quality, intentional time in creating big, bold, beyond the star dreams.

Not only are beyond the stars dreams amazing but they also impact our lives in tangible and measurable ways.

Hope you enjoy!

On this last day of our series, we want to make sure that this isn’t a “set it and forget it” type thing for you...like one of those situations where you create a vision board and then you never listen to it again. Nothing like that here!

We want to make sure that this is a continual process of checking in and empowering yourself as you are heading towards your next adventure in life. And most importantly, that you are nurturing your mindset and your relationships and the processes that will continue to move you forward towards whatever your next adventure is.

This episode will finalize and complete the 7-episode series. Thank you so much for being a part of it.

Abundance Beliefs

Thank you for joining me for another week of our “Manifesting Your Adventure” series. I hope that you and your family are staying safe, healthy and sane in this unprecedented time of introspection and uncertainty.

I’d love you to get the most value out of this episode, and before you tune into this episode, if you haven’t already heard the previous 5 weeks’ episodes, it will give you a better context. We began the series on March 9th and I hope you’ll get a lot of peace from journeying with us through each of the first 5 parts of the journey before today’s focus on abundance.

On this episode, we are focusing on your mindset. To this point in our series, you have worked on many important things. In the training, we have talked about setting goals; we have identified what your ideal day feels like, we talked about forming a more positive relationship with failure and we took a closer look at what your success looks like.

We want your mindset and your belief systems to work towards your benefit, both consciously and subconsciously. The activities in the workshop we are going through today are going to set that foundation for you.

Fam, make sure to go back to the last 5 episodes before you go through this one. If you’d like to go through the rest of the 7-day program, I’m giving you the gift of 30 days free of T.H.E. Celebration Academy membership. As a member, you receive access to all of our classes and are able to participate in the monthly live workshop that is exclusively for members.

Your Perfect Day

Peace to you all. I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy in heart, mind and body. Here we are again for another week of our “Manifesting Your Adventure” series. 

Before you go on, for you to get the most value out of this episode, check out the previous 4 weeks’ episodes. We began the series on March 9th and I hope you’ll get a lot of peace from journeying with us through each of the first 4 parts of the journey.

This week in your adventure, we talk about your perfect day.  There has been much research, data and so many success stories of the growth that happens when you get clear about what you want to create. When you can envision this perfect day, you start to bring it to life.

You bring your adventure to life through your reticular activating system, your RAS, or through the joy that you get from envisioning that becomes the fuel that allows you to move towards that perfect day.

We want to make sure that what you are creating in your adventure aren’t goals or desires based upon what may have been instilled in you by others or things you envisioned a long time ago and may not be reflective of what you want to create now.  We are going to get specific in creating your adventure by starting with creating one perfect day.

This is a very fun workshop; one of my favorites and I go through this exercise with all of my 1-on-1 clients. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do. 

Fam, make sure to go back to the last 4 episodes before you go through this one. If you’d like to go through the rest of the 7-day program, I’m giving you the gift of 30 days free of T.H.E. Celebration Academy membership. As a member, you receive access to all of our classes and are able to participate in the monthly live workshop that is exclusively for members.
