Shownotes

What's really holding you back from reaching seven figures in your business? Ursula Mentjes, sales expert and bestselling author, reveals it's likely not your strategy but your subconscious beliefs.

After growing up on a farm where "all we did was work hard," Ursula learned the crucial difference between working hard and working on the right things. Today, she helps entrepreneurs scale their businesses by focusing on their zone of genius while building systems that support growth without burnout.

We dive into the exact process for scaling with intention, starting with a powerful revenue projection exercise. Rather than incrementally pushing forward, Ursula teaches a quantum leap approach: envisioning what needs to be true at seven figures, then building the infrastructure to support it. This process naturally surfaces limiting beliefs that have been quietly sabotaging growth.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Ursula leads us through a live NLP exercise for dissolving limiting beliefs. This powerful three-step process helps entrepreneurs identify, challenge, and replace thoughts like "there's not enough clients" or "who am I to earn that much?" with empowering alternatives. You'll feel the immediate shift as she guides you through visualizing your successful future self who's already achieved your revenue goals.

You'll also discover the "walk the order" framework for evaluating your business systems, learn why having the right accountability partnerships dramatically increases achievement rates, and explore how AI tools can uncover innovative sales approaches you might never have considered.

Ready to experience your own quantum leap? Grab your notebook for the mindset exercise halfway through—it might just be the most valuable four minutes you invest in your business this year. 

In this episode you will learn how:

• Success means working hard at the right things instead of just working hard

• Confidence in abundance allows entrepreneurs to say no to clients who aren't a good fit

• Creating a clear revenue model reveals both opportunities and limiting beliefs

• Effective scaling requires examining systems and processes from sale to delivery

• NLP techniques can quickly dissolve limiting beliefs that block business growth

• Future pacing helps entrepreneurs embody their successful future self today

• Intentional scheduling and delegation are essential for sustainable growth

• AI tools like ChatGPT can help identify innovative sales and marketing approaches

Elite Habits and Final Thoughts

You Know You’re Capable of More.

The best leaders aren’t satisfied with “good enough.” They’re clear there’s another level—and they’re willing to do the work to get there.

My clients don’t hire me because they’re struggling.

They hire me because they’re driven—and they know that with the right coach, they can think more strategically, execute more consistently, and lead more powerfully.

If you're ready to:

  • Align your time with your highest-impact goals
  • Think bigger and follow through better
  • Develop the mindset and habits to match your ambition

Then let’s connect.
