EP225 Unlocking Success - Dr Noah St John
Tuesday Oct 17, 2023
Tuesday Oct 17, 2023
In a this podcast episode of "Profit with a Plan," host Marcia engaged in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. St. John, known as the Father of Affirmations, on strategies to boost profitability in small businesses. Dr. St. John shared insights from his extensive body of work, including his new book, "The Seven-Figure Expert," and discussed his method for accelerating success within 12 weeks.
A portion of the podcast was dedicated to Dr. Noah, who shared his compelling life story, tracing his journey from growing up in a less privileged environment within an affluent community to finding his purpose through self-help literature and spirituality. His first book, "Permission to Succeed," published in 1999, played a pivotal role in his transformative journey.
One of the key themes that emerged in the conversation was the concept of "Unconscious Success Strategies." Dr. St. John discussed how highly successful individuals often unconsciously employ strategies that are challenging to teach. This phenomenon was illustrated using the analogy of learning to drive a car, which goes through stages of competency. Marcia acknowledged this gap in conventional success teaching, highlighting the need to understand and incorporate the missing piece.
The conversation also delved into overcoming income barriers. Dr. Noah shared his experiences and techniques from his coaching, particularly his 12 Week Breakthrough program, which has facilitated significant growth for numerous clients. Marcia expressed her own challenges in feeling stuck and received guidance on breaking through this barrier through Dr. Noah's "power habit system."
The importance of belief in oneself was another core topic. Dr. Noah emphasized the significance of not only believing in oneself but also having a method to cultivate this belief. An example was shared of a client raising $185,000 in private funds after applying Dr. Noah's system. Marcia expressed an interest in understanding systems for progression and was recommended Dr. Noah's book, "The 7 Figure Expert," which outlines his success system.
Simplicity in complex situations was highlighted by Dr. Noah, who stressed the need for a balance between the "inner game" (unseen aspects affecting actions) and the "outer game" (visible elements like offers and traffic) as a recipe for success.
Dr. Noah's Inner Game Mastery was exemplified with the story of a CEO, Adam, who achieved a 600% increase in sales after coaching from Dr. Noah, attributed to mastering his inner game.
The conversation also explored breaking subconscious barriers to success by recognizing self-imposed limitations and bringing them to the conscious mind, allowing individuals to make informed decisions.
The importance of implementing the right systems for success, as opposed to the constant "hustle," was emphasized. Dr. Noah shared examples of clients reaping significant returns on investment by focusing on the system.
Dr. Noah's coaching and content strategies were discussed, including different service levels (done for you, done with you, and do it yourself), and the benefits of incorporating simple systems into business operations for profitability. The conversation concluded with plans for further distribution of
Dr. Noah's content across various platforms, upcoming book releases, and the ambitious goal of authoring 30 more books. You can grab Dr. Noah's book at https://www.7FigureExpertBook.com
