Entrepreneurial Evolution | DFS 300

Welcome to destined for success. I'm your

host Jennifer Takagi and this is a very special episode for me.

This is episode number 300 of my podcast. My podcast started out

being titled new manager media manage right from the start. But

I made a shift in my business and made it a little more all

encompassing. And the name shifted with me to destined for

success. And part of that is because I believe we are

destined for way more success than we've already had. There is

more out there for each and every one of you. This episode

I've titled entrepreneurial evolution, because I'm here to

tell you in the almost 10 years since I became an entrepreneur,

there's been an evolution, there's been a lot of evolutions

that have happened. If you don't know me, if you're new to the

podcast, I'll digress for a minute. I was in mortgage

banking. And then I went to work for the federal government,

specifically the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

And so I was in housing for many years. And I was given the

opportunity to leave the government or relocate. And I

was out that door as soon as I could leave, I was gone. I found

out on the Monday that it was official, I can leave with

benefits. And Thursday after lunch, I was gone. Much of my

time in the government or corporate sector, I did

training, I liked it, I enjoyed it. Training was good for me. I

volunteered to train a lot. So when I left the government, it

just made a lot of sense, like a smooth transition for me to

become a leadership development trainer slash teacher. So to

Kagi consulting was born out of that. I love training, I love

teaching, I quit counting when I exceeded 10,000. But I have

spoken to or trained over 10,000. And that was from

several years ago, it's got to be 14 or 15,000 by now. So I

love to train I trained for the state of Oklahoma, for several

different agencies in the federal government for multiple

associations, either local associations, or like at the

state HR conference. I love that call me, hey, if you're hearing

this, and you ever need a speaker, I'm your girl call me.

I'm totally down for it. I love doing it. I love doing

workshops. I love doing workshops, whether they're a

couple hours or all day doesn't matter. I've actually hosted

Well, I didn't host it. But I was the facilitator for a two

and a half day retreat. And I was the only facilitator there.

It was awesome. It was amazing. I loved every minute of it. So

leadership development was a thing for me, I really liked it.

But things can fall into place quite as easily and effortlessly

as I thought they could or would or should. And I ran into

obstacles and I was bumping up against this and I was bumping

up against that. And I ended up at an online event being

introduced to a woman who was in the total woowoo spiritual out

there kind of stuff, compared to the very traditional Christian

upbringing that I had. It was amazing. I loved it, I fell in

love with it. And that 115 minute call put me on a path to

more spiritual development, and more personal development. In

the leadership training area space. I learned how to

interact, interact with others more effectively, more

efficiently. I learned my communication style, I learned

how people could be offended by my communication style and how I

might need to back it down. For some people some of the time if

I chose to. Very beneficial. I'm certified in disc behavioral

profiles. I'm a certified professional behavioral analyst,

I think is the title. I'm certified in change management

with change style indicator. What else I don't even know i've

just totally lost my train of thought on all of those

certifications. And they all come into play and they're all

important. I know entrepreneurs who are in high seven figure

moving into eight figure businesses. And as they put it,

I have no letters After my name, I'm not certified in anything,

but they're just that good at what they do good for them. I

love learning. I love learning new things. And I do some

things. And then I get an email that says you're a certified

this, I became a certified soul Care Coach. When I took that

class, I didn't even know I was going to be certified in the

end, who knew? Not me. Why? Because I say yes, that's just

what happened. So then I really got into this spiritual

development, and spiritual healing. And working with my

first spiritual healer named Sabrina. She was like, Well, you

know, you're showing up this way because of this. And I was like,

no, no, no, not very pushed back, I was very push back. So

we worked through a lot of stuff that I didn't even know was

impacting me, and how I show up in the world. And I didn't

necessarily like how I was showing up in the world. So that

spiritual development was very critical, very important to me.

And when I've shared some of the more specific stories of my

working with her, I've had people push back, like, they're

offended by my journey, my story, because they're like, Oh,

that's not true for you. And I'm like, holy crap, holy, it kinda

really is like back off. It is true. For me, it is my story.

And when you're working with a spiritual healer like that, it's

not that they're telling you anything you don't know already.

Right? It's just unveiling it and packaging it and languaging

it in another way. And that is one of the modalities I learned

was reading Akashic records. They're the messages on your

soul. They've been with you since the beginning of time. And

it's like a library of books. And there are hundreds, millions

of volumes, and they they keep growing and expanding. And when

I do a reading for you, we're just pulling off one book, and

reading one page. As long as you're reading it all, we're

reading one page, and we're getting whatever information

needs to come the message you need to know, the fun thing is,

it's never scary. It's never shocking. I haven't had one

person shocked yet. I've heard a lot of oh my gosh, how did you

know that? Melanie's one of my favorite testimonials. And she's

like, I don't know how she knows what she knows. But she does.

And let's be clear, it's not me. Like I'm, I'm guided and given

the messages. So it's airy, fairy touchy feely and fun, and

I love it. As my spiritual development continued to grow, I

continued with my personal development. And I ran into this

problem off and on throughout my career. And that was probably

part of the reason I had trouble with trying to sell myself and

to companies to do leadership development training for them.

Everybody wants to know, what's the exact return on investment,

what's the exact outcome. And it's kind of hard to put an

exact outcome on personal development. But let me tell

you, if I show up as a better person, as more willing to

listen, if I pause and use my words carefully, efficiently and

the right ones,

the organization is going to operate more efficiently,

effectively, efficiently. All those words that I'm just

stumbling over all the sudden, I got myself so excitable, I

stumbled over my words. But that's what can happen. That's

what can happen. If everybody walks into your organization,

fully committed to the mission, if they fully understand their

role, and how the work that they do fulfills that mission. And

they're heard, and they're valued, and they're appreciated.

I'm pretty darn sure that's going to impact your bottom

line. But I didn't say that so well. So we were like, oh, no, I

don't really see the benefit of this. No, we're not gonna hire

you. Okay, moving down the road. Personal development is a little

bit the same way. Well, I'm good, my life is good. And it's

like, but could it be better? What if your life were three

times better than it is right now? And I'm very fortunate

because my friend Kimberly Crowe introduced me to Brendon

Burchard. And she said, I'm at this event. I wish you were

here. I signed up for his Ultra program. Why don't you? And I

said, Oh, let me be here plus one, and she goes, Great. What's

your credit card number? So she was gonna let me be your plus

one, but not in is literally pay for me to be the plus one well

is that about my time with him and the people I met in his

altar group. They've been amazing. I've learned so much.

I've enjoyed it immensely. And as we're going down this path as

my membership is continuing, he starts talking at one of the

live events and their in person live event about his certified

High Performance Coaching Program. And I thought, this is

the key. This is the last piece that I need to put it all

together. This is it, this is what I need. So I signed up

immediately, my friend Kimberly said, Me, too, we had a blast,

she actually flew to Oklahoma City. And we did the training

together in my house, I was in one room she was in the other

because we kept part of it was putting us in breakout rooms

worked out beautifully. And so now we're both certified high

performance coaches. And Brendon talks about it and says, some

people are like, I don't know about this high performance

business. Okay, Let's rephrase it. This is a coaching program,

if you want to up your game personally and professionally.

If you want a two exit three exit, 10 exit, this is a program

for you. So as I'm learning it, as I'm embodying it, as I'm

embracing it, I'm like, Ah, and all the energy healing work I do

can like completely support this. Because you can make all

the plans, you want to do the things you can muscle through,

you can put on your big girl panties, your big boy boots,

whatever it is, and you can you can fight your way through it.

But typically, you end up exhausted, maybe even a little

disenchanted, possibly even a little depressed about it. And

that's probably because you have trapped emotions, imbalances in

your physical, emotional and spiritual body, and even belief

systems that are embedded deep within your subconscious, that

are actually driving the bus. You are doing all the things but

it's not working out right. I can quickly and easily clear

what's standing in your way. I had a call with a gentleman

recently. And it was just a discovery call and explain the

modalities I do and how it works. And I went ahead and did

a free session for him just so he could experience it and see

if he was interested. And at the end, I was like, Well, you know

how to find me if you want to work with me anymore. I'm not

really the best salesperson closer, apparently, obviously.

And he goes, Well, what are our next steps? I said, our next

steps are I will send you a link to book a call. And he was like,

Okay, great. And that's, that's what I did. I'm sure somebody

who's listening to this, who's really a good salesperson,

they're like, damn, Jennifer, you screwed that up really bad.

We'll see if he comes back around in the next couple three

weeks. Like that's what I can do. I literally I love calling

it magic because it is a little bit magical. When when I can

literally see somebody's face, when we have clear the trapped

emotions from something that happened years ago. And they

thought they had worked through it. And now all the emotions

tied to it are gone. Also. It makes my heart sing. It

literally makes my heart sing. I'm so excited. And happy to see

that transformation. it thrills me to no end to see that happen.

I had a client who said, I don't know why this is coming up. Now.

I went through counseling to work through this years ago. And

I worked through it. Why why is this coming up now? And I said,

Well, I don't know, other than the fact that maybe the emotions

didn't get released. So we released the emotions around the

event. And she called a couple days later in tears, which most

of my clients don't cry during my sessions. But she called me

teary eyed and she said, I forgiven my parents. And I said,

that's great. If she has no you don't understand. I thought I

forgave them years ago. But now I know I really have and again I

believe that's because the emotions were separate. He did

from the actual event. She had processed gone through all the

steps of forgiveness. But the emotions were still there. And

I've had people say, Oh, that happened so long ago, that

doesn't matter. If you can get yourself as worked up about the

situation today, as you could 20 years ago when it happened, I'm

just putting it out there. I think you have trapped emotions

around that event. And I love the work because it's quick,

it's easy. I do short, little 15 minute sessions for people

because they're clear, they're concise, they know exactly what

they want to get rid of anxiety, depression, eczema, that's been

a big one for me, I've helped a couple people with eczema, cat

allergies, I help one person quit smoking. Another one says

she wants to quit, we've done one session, she's got to do a

few more, that doesn't always go away with this one. But it

thrills me. And now I'm super happy because I can offer one on

one or group coaching, centered around Brendon Burchard, high

performance coaching, Formula format program. And clear the

trapped emotions and the imbalances that are keeping you

from being that high performer you want to be. And high

performance isn't like, You got to commit to run a marathon or

you have to commit to being in the Olympics, it's you just want

to feel your best all the time. You want to have the energy to

do what you want to do. You want to have the confidence to do

whatever it is. It doesn't matter if you're just starting

in your career in the middle of your career, or you're retired,

but you want to give back more and have an impact. It all comes

together. And I'm so thrilled about it. And this in this

entrepreneurial evolution. I have written 123456 books. I

know five of them became bestsellers on Amazon, the sixth

one and I didn't really promote. There is a seventh one out

there. But it's kind of a personal book and not I don't

care if anybody ever buys it because it was for me and my

family about my mom and the amazing things that she had to

say. But if you had asked me, am I going to be an author? I would

have said, No, my brother was a writer and one of my sisters is

a writer. I'm not a writer. But guess what the four of us kids,

I'm the only one who's written any books. And again, most of

them have been bestsellers on Amazon. I also have been in two

compilation books, voices of women 2023 and 2024. I am an

audiobook narrator I narrated 2023. And in the next few days,

I will be narrating the 2024 version. I have deemed myself

crowned myself. By the way my Facebook picture I do have a

crown on i Crown myself the 12 Minute success coach, I wrote a

book reach your goals and 12 minute increments. Then I

rebranded it reissued it in 12 minutes to success.

increments. I'm getting a lot of traction on it, it's a deal,

it's a deal, I'm gonna trademark it, it's gonna, it's gonna have
