What makes my business stand out from other businesses is that I am a business coach, but I take a whole life approach. I always say that life coaching and business coaching are both fair game. Business is just part of your life. A lot of times people try to fit life in around business, but I like to think we can fit business in around life and be successful. If your whole life (all the parts) was a strainer your business needs to go through the holes in the strainer — it needs to fit into those little spots. It’s not the opposite; our life is not about fitting into the spaces in our business. I think that makes me unique; I think both are equally important, and I am up for coaching in both areas. I recently had a client who feared being pregnant and was unsure of how she would fit this pregnancy into her business. When I shared with her that the business needed to fit into the pregnancy — that the pregnancy was of utmost importance — a huge weight was lifted on her. She did figure out how both could “work” together. And now she is the happy mom of healthy twins!! What are the most common mistakes you have seen CEOs & founders make when they start a business? What can be done to avoid those errors? One of the mistakes I see CEOs and founders making is when they are always looking at their bank accounts and judging themselves by what they see there. Entrepreneurs need to recognize it may take three years to turn a profit. They will be investing a lot back into their business during that time, and that investment will bring long-term results. Also, when they’re investing, they need to invest not just in their business, but also in themselves. In fact, that’s where their biggest investments should be — to get knowledge, training, and support they need to grow their business. They tend to think they can’t afford to do those things, or that they should already know all the answers or be able to figure it all out on their own. But that’s simply not true. And if you believe that to be true, will cause you to stumble and not be able to grow your business as fast as you possibly could. Based on your experience can you tell us what you did to bounce back? So, I put on a new set of glasses, and found the people that also wanted to grow and evolve– they were people who energized me. And I accepted that some of my past friendships were complete; we were in two different chapters of life. By reframing these friendships in that way, I made space for new ones to evolve. Another way I bounce back from business lows is by changing how I think about the situation. There have been times when I’ve tried a new program or package, and it hasn’t gotten the traction I wanted it to. That creates a low. So, I treat it as if it were a science experiment; that’s one of my favorite ways of positioning things in my mind to help my brain manage the feelings associated with what I could see as “failure.” So, I would say, “I had a hypothesis, and we tested it. We proved it incorrect. That’s ok. It was a try. We’ll create new hypotheses and move forward.” What are your “Five Things You Need To Successfully Ride The Emotional Highs & Lows Of Being An Entrepreneur”? You can sum up these five things by using the word “TRUST.”

Carol Look, LCSW, EFT Master EFT Master, Carol Look is the leading success and abundance coach in the energy psychology field. Known for combining her traditional psychotherapy background with energy medicine, she is recognized and respected around the globe for inspiring people to attract abundance into their lives by using EFT and the Law of Attraction to clear limiting beliefs and build prosperity consciousness. A pioneer and leading voice in the EFT community, Carol has trained and mentored thousands of energy practitioners. She is a highly sought after international speaker and workshop leader, and authored the book, Attracting Abundance with EFT – an industry favorite – as well as the bestselling Amazon Kindle e-book “Stop Feeling Lazy: How to Break the Procrastination Cycle Once and For All.” While Carol’s signature work in the field has been helping others attract success and abundance, she has also produced quality training products on additional topics such as weight loss, clearing clutter, trauma and pain relief. Carol is featured as a primary EFT practitioner and energy therapy expert in the field’s leading DVD documentaries about tapping and contributes her time and work to numerous healing telesummits, books and training programs around the globe. The YES CODE is a guide to breaking through self-sabotaging behaviors. What inspired you to develop this method, and how has it transformed your own life? After the exceptional results I saw with clients and in myself, I wanted to reach even more people who are struggling. The Yes Code transformed all areas of my life – I no longer procrastinate which enabled me to quadruple my income. I’ve given up people pleasing and being a perfectionist which means I make much clearer and better decisions at work and at home. And making my self-care a priority transformed my health and allowed me to lose and keep off the 25 extra pounds I was carrying around and heal my chronic insomnia. What are the best question readers could ask themselves to identify the underlying reasons they keep using self-sabotage behaviors? We know that there is an upside to our self-sabotage behaviors or we wouldn’t be using them. Questions: If you give up these self-sabotaging behaviors and start succeeding in all areas of your life, what are you afraid might happen? How does it serve you to play small and hide your talents? You tell the readers that emotional safety always wins – what do you mean by that and how can we address this challenge? If you feel safer when you play small, you will be motivated to sabotage yourself with behaviors such as procrastination and perfectionism so you can stay under the radar. Once you identify how and why shining and being successful scares you, you can treat the real problem – your fears and beliefs – and stop focusing on changing the behavior, which is just a symptom. You mention using "cutting-edge emotional technology" in your book. Could you elaborate on what this technology involves and how readers can apply it to overcome their limiting beliefs? I use EFT or “tapping” as my emotional technology. This technique combines the art of ancient Chinese acupuncture and modern psychology to rewire your brain when fears or beliefs block your progress. Once you eliminate your fears and resolve your outdated beliefs, the rewiring happens in your brain, and you will no longer need to block your success. The technique can be self-applied on a daily basis for all fears and beliefs, is painless, and has shown no side effects. In the book, you draw from your personal hardships and experiences in the mental health field. What was one of the most challenging moments in your journey, and how did it shape the creation of The YES CODE? One of the most challenging experiences in my life was the death of my younger sister from cancer. It brought home the urgency that “life is short” and I knew I needed to get in high gear to stop getting in my own way and start following the best path for myself. This profound loss and how I dealt with it helped shape The YES CODE. For readers struggling with perfectionism or procrastination, what is one key action from The YES CODE they can start implementing today to begin their transformation? They can ask themselves the best questions to get to the bottom of “why” they struggle with these behaviors – What do these behaviors protect you from? What are you afraid of if you stop procrastinating or trying to be perfect? Once they find out the real reason they’re using these behaviors, they can treat the underlying fears and beliefs with EFT/ Tapping and release them quickly and permanently.
