Hello everybody and welcome back to the show.

2

This is the Collaborators Unite podcast.

3

Chuck Anderson here as your host.

4

This is the show where we serve what we call our big impact experts.

5

That means coaches, consultants, service providers who wanna make a big positive impact in

the lives of their clients and their communities and the world.

6

And today's guest is someone who also works with big impact experts and helps them with

their impact.

7

So Lucy Rosa Stagy.

8

Thank you.

9

uh You know, I try my best, but you know, it's good to be corrected.

10

And now I'll never make that mistake again.

11

uh Lucy, welcome to the show.

12

Thank you, thank you so very much for having me, Chuck.

13

And in fact, now that I've now that I butchered your last name, go ahead and introduce

yourself and tell everybody a little bit more about you and the work that you do to help

14

coaches make a bigger impact.

15

Well, you know, for one thing, I just want to say that I started my online business later

in life than most people.

16

And it's because at 70, I end up this was 10 years ago, I just turned 80.

17

And then, you know, so for me, at 70, I thought, Oh my God, my dreams have just gone down

the drain.

18

What am I to do?

19

I felt sorry for myself.

20

My 10 year relationship ended and I thought, Oh,

21

And so I wallowed in sorrow and then realized nobody was coming to save me.

22

And so that's when I decided that I was going to start an online business.

23

Well, I knew how to copy and paste.

24

So I had a lot of learning to do, but you know, that didn't stop me.

25

And I just figured that I would learn one step at a time.

26

so, you know, and along the way, everybody was telling me, take one step at a time.

27

you know, so that's how I got through.

28

And today I have...

29

uh

30

an online business.

31

have a team and we are Launch Lab Academy.

32

And basically uh we started with Tony Robbins and Dean Grassiose when they started their

33

It um was called Self-Education is the New Norm.

34

And so their thought was, yes, people want information, but they want more than

information.

35

They want some expertise.

36

And so they started a program where

37

people who had knowledge and expertise could have this program and start an online

business.

38

You could be a coach, you could be a course creator, you could have a mastermind, you

could just be a podcast, you could be anything you want, just take your knowledge and put

39

it out there.

40

And they had this vehicle to do that.

41

And so we were very instrumental in helping them succeed because what we saw as, I was an

affiliate of Tony's and I've

42

hooked up with three of his moderators because we saw people falling through the cracks

who needed help.

43

And so we started our business modeling Tonys and Deans and we're successful.

44

In fact, we got the 2024 Global Award for helping people in our niche.

45

And so now we're pivoting.

46

And one of the things I have done all through these years was interview people because it

was always part of getting people in front of the camera.

47

which is a biggie for so many people, but it's so necessary for your branding because

people want to know who you are, what you do, and they want to know you and like you

48

before they ever buy from you.

49

You know, it's so important if you want to make a big impact in people's lives, you have

to be visible.

50

You have to be willing to put yourself out there.

51

ah So I love that.

52

Let's talk a little bit about the types of the types of people that you're working with.

53

Who's coming into your world?

54

Who are you attracting?

55

What are you hearing from them in terms of the struggle or, or their goals or what their

needs are?

56

What are you hearing from them?

57

Well, for the first, for the past four or five years, we have been working with

individual, mostly women, women over 40, 50 and 60, who are tired of being in the

58

corporate world, not getting anywhere, tired of what they're doing, they're not loving,

and they have passion.

59

you know, they feel like they have a message to give people.

60

And so helping them start an online business, you know, using their knowledge and their

expertise.

61

They just needed the steps.

62

How do I do this?

63

And so we provided, you know, the framework for them and help them scale the business.

64

And along the way they need to brand themselves.

65

And we showed them how to do that.

66

Now we're pivoting because of the AI all set in the last two years.

67

It's obvious that if you're not going to use AI tools in the next two years, you're going

to be out of business.

68

So my team has uh

69

hooked up with Tony Robbins, AI guy, who started a consulting business.

70

And now we are consulting with small businesses and medium businesses who, because they're

so overwhelmed, only 2 % of businesses are using AI tools because of the overwhelm.

71

So the consulting of this is extremely important.

72

So we help to assess their business, see where they are today, where they want to go, what

tools they need, and how to implement these tools.

73

And so that's where we are today.

74

Meanwhile, I keep doing my podcasting because I believe that people always need to be in

front of the camera.

75

And one of things that I can do is give them the stage to do that.

76

And I like podcasting because I can do it once a week.

77

I don't have to be there every day.

78

You know, and so, you know, that's.

79

Yeah, I

80

I agree.

81

Podcasting is actually one of my favorite things to do.

82

And at first started off as one day a week and then we loved it so much and it was been so

effective for us that we're now doing it three to five times a week.

83

Wow.

84

And yeah, it's been a big game changer.

85

So, you know, if you're going to be in business, you definitely have to be visible and a

podcast is a great way to do that.

86

So I want so thank you for sharing the, know, who you're working with and how you help

them.

87

I wanted to ask you.

88

because about mistakes that you notice that they are making that are perhaps making their

journey to make an impact more difficult than perhaps it needs to be.

89

What are you, what are you noticing?

90

And we want to kind of alert people to avoid those mistakes.

91

I think um what comes to my mind is limiting beliefs.

92

We all have them.

93

I can't do this.

94

I'm an imposter.

95

Yeah, this imposter syndrome.

96

Who the hell do I think I am?

97

Why should people listen to me?

98

That kind of thing.

99

You know, what I've learned is everybody is unique.

100

Everybody has a message and there is one person, even even if there's one person whose

life you can impact, then you have done a mass contribution to the world.

101

you know, because it starts with the one, because you know if there's one, there's going

to be many others.

102

And you're not going to resonate with everybody, but you will resonate with some.

103

So it is important for you to get your message out there.

104

Stop thinking about yourself.

105

Think about who you can impact, what you can do for others, and what they can do for you.

106

You know, that is uh that's really huge what you just mentioned.

107

uh And we see it all the time, especially at networking events.

108

know, in this, I keep calling it the post pandemic world.

109

But in the world we live in today, there's a lot of virtual networking events.

110

And you see they get the opportunity to either share in small groups or sometimes they

have a share uh opportunity to share in front of everybody.

111

And it's so true.

112

It's the most common

113

way uh to pitch yourself is what am I looking for?

114

And come be my client, in other words.

115

And you hear this all the time, and it's so self-serving.

116

Being an affiliate marketing guy, we get in a lot of groups, and I hear people say, I just

need one more affiliate to just help me.

117

uh Yes, exactly.

118

Or fill my event or whatever it is.

119

And I'm like, no.

120

uh

121

What can you do to serve them?

122

How can I help you?

123

How can I make your life get better?

124

30 years ago, when I first started my entrepreneurial journey, I was one of those people,

right?

125

And it was so hard.

126

And you wonder like, why do these people not get it?

127

No, no, no, it's why didn't I get it?

128

Why didn't I get that this is about service and not about gaining?

129

um And so when I shifted to how can I serve,

130

Things got a lot easier.

131

Are you noticing that as well?

132

Absolutely, absolutely.

133

um You know, for some reason, I saw the light when I turned 40, I remember, because I was

working with the Jesuits at the time.

134

the message came to me very strong that serving others was the purpose of my life.

135

And that message was very strong to me.

136

So, you know, I didn't know at the time how I was going to do it.

137

I knew how I was going to do it with students because

138

We would take them to, you know, I taught in a very uh prestigious school.

139

It was a college preschool where parents were very rich.

140

And so we would take these juniors to third world countries to show them how the poor

lived.

141

And we worked in soup kitchens and whatnot.

142

And these kids, our kids would see these young kids who had no shoes, playing in the park,

full of life, laughing, loving life.

143

And when we would meet with them,

144

you know, after the day was over, they would say, I don't get it.

145

They have nothing.

146

They're happy.

147

And I have everything.

148

I have a pimple and I'm miserable.

149

You know, that kind of thing.

150

It was like turning them around.

151

was like, we didn't have to do it.

152

Their experience did it for them.

153

And we did it for that reason because it was like, you know, the message here is service

to others.

154

I mean, we are here to serve one another, you know.

155

uh

156

Because if you're here to serve yourself, it just doesn't work.

157

If you serve others, you're helping yourself anyway.

158

if you make other, we've heard it over and over, make enough people successful that you

will be successful yourself.

159

So, and it just does work.

160

And success comes in many different ways.

161

You know, for me at my age, it's much more contribution than anything else.

162

Yes, the money is great.

163

Of course, money helps you do the things that you want to do and get.

164

And so, but

165

It's so much more than that, you know.

166

You know, reminds me of what my one of my earliest mentors and influencers taught to me.

167

that is, cause cause in business where we're always trying to pursue increased revenue and

increased profitability.

168

And how do I get more clients and lead generation and all the things.

169

And it's, and, it's like we were saying earlier that that's all the things that I want.

170

Right.

171

And I'm a word still.

172

just really ring true in my mind.

173

And it is, and they said, if you want to earn more than be more valuable to people, be

more valuable.

174

And when you're more valuable, it's not about time, right?

175

It's not about your, price of your package or whatever it's how much value do you bring?

176

Because when you bring more value, you'll earn, your earnings will go up as well.

177

Absolutely, it just works that way, oddly enough.

178

Yeah, and it's been my experience also.

179

So yeah, I'm very happy to, you I love providing this extra stage to people because people

who are impacting people's lives need to be featured, need to be told, need to be heard,

180

need to be shown.

181

Visibility is very, very important.

182

They talked about this in Podapalooza.

183

And so that is, that's what we're doing here, visibility, you know.

184

So it is so important to provide that for people.

185

You're doing that, I'm doing that, and so many people are doing that.

186

uh that's what helps people succeed.

187

For sure.

188

So before I let you go, I'd love to hear from you.

189

Like, how do people connect with you?

190

And I'll have you send me all your links.

191

But if you're watching this on video, all our links will be there.

192

But do you have any free gifts or resources?

193

Or what's the next step in terms of people learning from you?

194

Well, you know, that covers two or three things.

195

I do have a free gift.

196

It's called Free Gift from Lucy dot com.

197

You can go to free gift from Lucy Lucy LUCIE dot com free gift from Lucy dot com.

198

And that will give you a free membership to a new platform that I have.

199

And it's a free membership.

200

No credit cards, folks, because if especially for those of you starting out in business,

you need a platform and

201

Little by little, you need to crew things only when you need them.

202

And so this is a free membership to a new platform where there's 30,000 eyeballs, no

algorithms.

203

So I offer that as a free gift to people.

204

I want them to start somewhere.

205

That's a good place to start.

206

And it's a freebie.

207

um The other thing is, um you know, I love to feature people who are

208

you know, even starting out in business because people need to hear from people starting

out people who are successful people who have been there and are pivoting, you know, so

209

all along the way there is a message to be had by someone for someone.

210

And I like to provide that stage.

211

So it's Lucy's inspiring stories that I do once a week every Thursday.

212

And and so, yeah, those two things.

213

for sure, and I'd like that information to be uh available to people.

214

Absolutely.

215

Well, if you're watching this on video, look in the description below.

216

All Lucy's links are right there.

217

And if you're listening to us on podcast, it's all there in the show notes as well.

218

ah Lucy, thank you for taking the time to share about yourself, your journey, and how you

can help people make a bigger positive impact with the work that they're doing.

219

Any final piece of advice, words of wisdom for our audience?

220

Absolutely.

221

you, you know, here I just turned 80.

222

I just want to let you know that there is no age.

223

Age is just a number.

224

You're never too old to start and you're never too old to reinvent yourself.

225

Reinventing yourself is wonderful.

226

I can't wait.

227

I'm thinking about how am I going to reinvent myself in as an octogenarian?

228

can't, you know, I have my thoughts already.

229

And so, you know, just always think of

230

how you can become a better version of yourself.

231

Great words to end this episode by.

232

Thank you, Lucy, so much.

233

And to our audience, thank you as well.

234

Remember to make this time really count, take one action step that you heard us talk about

here today and take that step today.

235

Just take the next step.

236

You don't always have to see the whole staircase.

237

Just take the next step.

238

Remember there's no obstacle too big to be overcome.

239

You might be one collaboration away from that big breakthrough you need in your business.

240

And perhaps Lucy is that person to collaborate with.

241

In the meantime, keep moving forward everybody and we will see you on the next one.

242

Thank you.

243

Thank you, Chuck.
