Do Things That Don’t Scale (It’s the Secret to Scaling) With Crysta Tyus

Original Air Date: February 22, 2021

The way to differentiate yourself in today’s economy is by investing time and resources in things that don’t scale.

Deep listening + building lasting relationships will always = a fantastic customer experience. This is at the center of my conversation with this week’s return guest - Tech Founder and Millionaire Business Coach - Crysta Tyus.

As a refresher, Crysta Tyus is an online marketing consultant who helps service-based businesses get clients from social media, master sales without being salesy, and build multiple 6-figure businesses.

Crysta’s episode, which was released 1 year ago, is in our top 3 most listened to episodes from our almost 300 episode catalog.

‘How can I scale this and fast?’ is the question many entrepreneurs are pondering these days. 

Sadly, it often leads to a low-quality customer experience.  

What many business owners find is that when they start to scale, they water down the magic that brought them their initial success in the first place. 

That is because many businesses are willing to trade speed in exchange for real human touchpoints. 

Crysta shares with us how she has been able to build a 7 figure business and create a technology company, all without sacrificing building authentic connections with her customers. 

Deep listening and having actual conversations with your customers are what Crysta believes will give you an unfair advantage over your competitors. 

Over this past year, Crysta has also developed, designed, and launched an app that is able to add even greater value to her customers. 

Crysta shares with us the lessons she has learned serving as the CEO of a technology company, and the insights we can all take away no matter what industry we work in. 

This was a very special episode. 

Crysta and I also have real conversations on mindset, limiting beliefs, self-doubt, believing in yourself, and the power of being a visionary. 

I promise you will walk away transformed after listening to this episode. 

Do yourself the favor. 

Hit play.

I love getting to interview people who are grounded in their own genius.

Boldly.

Monica is a Facebook and Instagram ads strategist who helps ambitious online entrepreneurs increase their impact with high-converting ads.

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. 

Let’s do this.
