Show Notes:
You're about to hear how EbonyJanice Moore has dreamed herself free in life and business. You'll be different after you hear from her.
You'll hear the 80/20 rule that she lives by (and no, it's not the one you've probably heard of before).
You'll also hear how she identifies her trusted collaborators, why making millions of dollars is where she's headed very quickly, and how she builds and manages her team in a truly caring way.
Here's a little more about EbonyJanice Moore:
EbonyJanice is a dynamic lecturer, transformational speaker, and passionate multi-faith preacher focused on Decolonizing Authority, Hip Hop Scholarship, Womanism as a Political and Spiritual/Religious tool for Liberation, Blackness as Religion, Dialogue as central to professional development and personal growth, and Women and Gender Studies focused on black girlhood. EbonyJanice has a B.A. in Cultural Anthropology and Political Science, and a Master of Arts in Social Change with a concentration in Spiritual Leadership, Womanist Theology, and Racial Justice. She is the founder of Black Girl Mixtape, a multi-platform safe think-space, centering the intellectual authority of black women in the form of a lecture series, a podcast, and an online learning institute lead by black women scholars, and Dream Yourself Free, a Spiritual Mentoring project focused on black women's healing, dreaming, ease, play, and wholeness as their activism and resistance work.
Here's some of what we talked about:
What her coaching programs are and how they work
Why healing and liberation are a central to all of her programs
Collaborating with other healers
The 80/20 rule EbonyJanice lives from: 80 percent Internal and 20 percent Action. Literally.
Her initial resistance to taking days off
Her biggest ideas arriving when she is giving herself time for deep rest and dreaming
The energy and focus she gets when she allows herself to work less
Questions to ask yourself as you're assessing who to trust and collaborate with
Managing and collaborating with a team of full time employees and interns
Advice she'd give her former self about managing a team: Do more healing around your worthiness issues first
Knowing she's on her way to making millions of dollars
Her pricing revelation: that she was undervaluing the transformation she brings
Sharing her wealth with the Black women she works with
Being an example of what is possible within a liberated business
Here are some takeaways that particularly stand out to me.
Takeaway #1:
The 80/20 rule is to put 80 percent of your time into the internal work of healing, dreaming and resting, and 20 percent of your time into action. It will not feel comfortable. It changed everything for EbonyJanice.
Takeaway #2:
EbonyJanice says you need to trust yourself and your inner "mm!" when you're choosing your collaborators and other work relationships. There's an inner knowing, and it's our job to pay attention to it.
Takeaway #3:
EbonyJanice says you need to charge an amount of money that reflects the value of the transformation you are guiding folx through. She says: "I cannot charge you a hundred dollars to change your life forever. That is unfair to you because you could get it in your mind that this is just worth a hundred dollars, and then you could treat it like this is just a hundred dollars."
Takeaway #4:
Part of making millions of dollars, in addition to that she deserves it and her ancestors deserve it, is to show what is possible in a business when you truly care for your team and share the wealth.
