  • Love love love
    by Tanyamariedube from Canada

    What a great show. I loved listening to your episode with Dave Lorenzo on the 60 Second Sale. As someone who loves sales (but loathed them when I started with cold calls and cold door knocking), I loved what he said about hearing the word “no”. In sales, we are trained to look for the no’s. It makes us really good at it if we can really get into it. What you two were talking about with regard to how our limitations are i’’our minds really resonated with me. I love that because it’s a game changer when you understand that sales is just about helping people solve a massive problem and getting paid for it and then taking imperfect action, get on your feet and have fun. Thanks so much! Love this show.

Intro  [0:00]  

EA Interviews, Episode 35. Inspiration, transformation, success stories and the Imperfect Action Round seven days a week. Join Mario for Jeannie for today’s Expert Authority Effect Interview. 

Mario Fachini  [0:13]  

Welcome, Expert Authority World. I am excited to be here with another great episode for you. Have you ever had hang ups with money? Have you ever wanted to make more, but not quite sure what was holding you back? I know I have in the past. Have you ever wanted to help someone else out but you were struggling yourself? Was there something that happened when you were younger? That you may be carrying with you when you’re older? Does your business want more profits? Do you want more margins? These are all important things. But what is that breaking point? I assure you it is not the shiny object you’re seeing on Facebook, LinkedIn or anywhere. It’s deeper than that. And we’re going to jump right into it. After we thank our sponsor.

SPONSOR – Acorns  [0:52]  

How would you like to grow your wealth easier than you think with the change you probably don’t notice anyhow, automatically? That’s why I started the compound interest snowball investing with Acorns and advise you do too. Get started simply and easily today at EAinterviews.com/Acorns

Mario Fachini  [1:09]  

Eleni, how are you?

Eleni Anastos  [1:11]  

I am good. And it’s so good to be here with you, Mario.

Mario Fachini  [1:14]  

I am excited for you to share. I’ve been wanting to have you on the show for a while. I was so thankful when I reached out and you are so excited to come on. It is an absolute pleasure. And let’s just jump right into it. Why did you decide to do what you do? What inspired you to start your company?

Eleni Anastos  [1:31]  

I’ve had the entrepreneurial spirit in me for a long time. And for many years little over a decade, I worked with a lot of entrepreneurs helping them get money when the bank said no. Things like equipment leasing, accounts receivable financing. But throughout that I realized almost every single entrepreneur I worked with, including myself, had a very contentious, negative relationship with money. And it was really impacting their bottom line. I mean money touches every area of your business, it touches almost every area of your life. So if you’ve got a contentious relationship with it, you’re not going to be growing the way you want to grow. And I want people to really value themselves and value the work that they put out to the world.

Mario Fachini  [2:18]  

Where did you develop the sense that it had to be on money? I mean, there’s different ways you can help people. I mean, there’s many different ways you can help people and you chose money. Why is that?

Eleni Anastos  [2:32]  

I did. Because of the impact that I see that it has, I have learned that how you do money is how you do everything. And uncovering those money blind spots can significantly impact so many areas in your life, professionally, and personally. And again, since money touches every area of your business, you need to have a positive, healthy relationship with it, if you’re going to grow the way you want to grow.

Mario Fachini  [3:00]  

Let’s dive in to your clients. Who do you help? And how do you help them?

Eleni Anastos  [3:04]  

Well, I work with entrepreneurs that may be struggling with how to price their product or their service. They know that the work they do the product or the service they offer is worth way more than what they’re charging. And they need sometimes they just get stuck on how do I really package this? How can I put it into our program? How do I create a profit pyramid that makes sense for my business. And also I see a lot of entrepreneurs, they could be so gifted with whatever they do. But so uncomfortable talking about money. And if you’re uncomfortable talking about money, you’re going to hesitate to ask for the sale. Or you might even apologize for your fees. At the very least you’re going to over deliver. 

Mario Fachini  [3:47]  

Why do you think people apologize for them?

Eleni Anastos  [3:50]  

I think it goes back to some limited beliefs they have like, “Who am I to charge this?” “Who am I to ask for money for what I do?” And simply looking at the other side, who are you not to do that. But if you grow up with, “Oh, you know, money, having too much money makes you greedy or money is evil, or there’s never enough to go around.” You’ve got those limiting beliefs. That’s a boatload of carry on luggage to drag with you to try to make it successful in business.

Mario Fachini  [4:22]  

Would you say that a lot of entrepreneurs go into entrepreneuring, so to speak, to break free from that? But it’s also that contention point, like you’re saying that holds them back so often.

Eleni Anastos  [4:35]  

Yes, I think many people do become entrepreneurs, because they have that spirit and they want to the master of their own destiny professionally and financially. But you can’t succeed beyond your current money beliefs. So not having the awareness of what your dragon with you that most likely came from childhood. Or maybe if you were in corporate, and it didn’t matter how hard you worked for a certain type of job, it didn’t matter how much you put in or how many hours. This was all you’re going to make.

Mario Fachini  [5:05]  

Let’s dive a little bit deeper into this specifically, because a lot of people have those limiting beliefs. How do you first identify it and then break free from it?

Eleni Anastos  [5:15]  

Well, when I first worked with a client, the first thing we do is look at the foundation, where those beliefs with money came from and honestly it often goes back to childhood, they could have been watching their parents or anybody else close to them. And if they heard people stressing about money or arguing about money, or heard things like money is evil or wanting to have a lot of money means you’re a greedy person. That’s all weighing on them subconsciously. So even though they want to go out on their own and have an abundant life, they still have that subconsciously pulling them back going, “Oh, yeah. No, no, you don’t want to be greedy.” And they end up undervaluing themselves and not honoring their skills and their gifts.

Mario Fachini  [5:59]  

So what are a couple things that you start people off with, once you’ve identified it, to get them through it,

Eleni Anastos  [6:05]  

when we first identify their limiting beliefs to go through that, we also look at how they’re hardwired. Everybody has a money personality, or money archetype. And like any personality, we all have gifts, and we all have challenges, but it’s about the awareness. So once you understand how you’re hardwired to deal with money, then you can begin to make the decisions, you know, to move yourself forward. But I also want entrepreneurs especially to look at who they want as clients, you know, all too often we get caught up in, “I just need to make a sale, I just need to get a customer in the door and I get being hungry in there, I get it. But there has to be a point where you draw that line to get what you deserve. And a lot of entrepreneurs think they just have to basically take whoever comes in the door. And those people might not be appreciating your value, your worth, they might be looking for the cheapest deal in town. And I see people try to compare cost with value. And they’re not even in the same ballpark. That’s easy for an entrepreneur to get hung up on. 

Mario Fachini  [7:14]  

With that being said, what’s the biggest breakthrough you’ve ever seen a client have, they came to you they hit some limiting beliefs, you worked through it, which is fantastic. What’s the biggest transformation you’ve seen in one of your clients?

Eleni Anastos  [7:29]  

One of my clients, a very creative, talented entrepreneur, but so, so scared to even deal with money, she could barely discuss fees. In fact, she often apologized for her fees when talking to potential clients. She was living basically from hand to mouth very inconsistent months. And we started working together. And digging back into her past, she realized that she adapted a lot of limiting beliefs from growing up where she heard money’s the bad guy, there’s never enough to go around. And whenever we talk about it, you know there’s going to be a fight, it was going to be an issue. So she just didn’t want to deal with money. It was like hands off, I don’t want to, I’m not going to be able to stand up for myself, because she only saw the contention. But through coaching, were able to write that ship. And she transformed to relationship became empowered. And then she was able to confidently state her fees confidently talk about money in any situation. And not just professionally, she was standing up for herself personally. And she began earning more money month after month. Right now she’s earning about six times what she was earning before she realized she had those money blocks that were holding her back.

Mario Fachini  [8:47]  

Wow, that’s fantastic. I don’t know anyone who regardless of what they’re currently making wouldn’t want to make six times more.

Eleni Anastos  [8:54]  

Yes. Me included.

Mario Fachini  [8:57]  

What was her goal once she got past it? Did she have any new goals like, you know, here’s my dream before. And now here’s my dream now that I can see that more as possible.

Eleni Anastos  [9:07]  

She wanted honestly, to carry that voice into all aspects of her life. I had mentioned that how you do money is how you do everything. And because she was so afraid to even stand up for herself where money was concerned. She wasn’t standing up for herself and her personal life, either. It was just accepting whatever came her way. And four months ago, she married the love of her life, because she stood up for what she wanted. She no longer tolerated what wasn’t serving her. So again, it impacts all areas of your life.

Mario Fachini  [9:40]  

So you piqued my interest with the archetypes that you mentioned. And I’m curious which one she is and congrats to her for breaking through and now improving other areas of her life. I’m curious what she is. And I’m curious what I am, how many archetypes are there?

Eleni Anastos  [9:55]  

There are eight main archetypes and she was a Romantic nurturer. And well first I want to say there’s no one archetype that’s better than another at attracting abundance into your world. Again, it’s about the awareness. Because we all have the gifts, we all have challenges. So we want to champion the gifts, and consciously navigate around the challenges. And there’s a very simple assessment that people can take to determine their archetype – a series of questions. And the good news is you can’t study for it and you can’t fail. It’s all good.

Mario Fachini  [10:29]  

Why didn’t you tell me about this in high school, I would have loved this option for all my quizzes.

Eleni Anastos  [10:34]  

Yes, not having to study and not being able to fail.

Mario Fachini  [10:37]  

Would have passed more classes that way. You said she was a romantic…

Eleni Anastos  [10:41]  

A romantic nurturer. So, a romantic nurturer, and you can just think of what the words mean. You know, when you’re romantic and you believe that things are beautiful, and there’s grace and ease and things will flow. Yes, on one hand, they will. And as a nurturer, you love taking care care of people, you want to be there for them. Of course, whenever you can help you want to help. But by the same token, you can often default to becoming a bank, or allowing people to take advantage of you if you don’t have boundaries in place. So I wouldn’t want her to stop being a loving nurturer. But then she knew she needed to have some boundaries in place to protect herself. So she could continue to be of service to others.

Mario Fachini  [11:28]  

So I know we don’t have time to go into all eight of them. But what’s another one or two you can share with me?

Eleni Anastos  [11:34]  

An accumulator, I am a strong accumulator, we’re the inner banker, and we know where every penny goes, we have a very tight knit close relationship with money, which on one hand can be a match made in heaven. But then on the other hand, sometimes even spending a small amount of money can cause a lot of anxiety and stress. So it has to have the balance. Because if you don’t have the balance, if you’re not willing to kind of loosen those purse strings once in a while, then you may end up missing opportunities to invest in yourself that could catapult your business or doing something for yourself on a personal level, that could really enhance your life if you’re too tightly knit with money. Another archetype is Maverick, they’re kind of that rebel with a cause. And they just illuminate that risk is essential, which in many ways is a good thing. But sometimes Mavericks can take that too much to an extreme. And again, it’s about going back to the balance, where yes, you got to be willing to take that risk, you got to be willing to take a chance any true blooded entrepreneur knows that. But by the same token, you also have to have some sense of stability. You know, sometimes the old tried and true is what you need, you still need a foundation to leap off of.

Mario Fachini  [13:00]  

I love that. It reminds me of one of my favorite authors, Robert Kiyosaki. In all of his books, he says that savers are losers. And he’s alluding to the fact that if you’re trying to save your way to wealth, it’s never going to happen, you’re going to lose in the long term. And he said, I have a plan to be wealthy. But I also have a plan to be comfortable. And I think too often people confuse those two, would you agree?

Eleni Anastos  [13:29]  

Yes, completely, completely. And especially using the word comfortable, I don’t ever want to be okay with just being okay. But I’m grateful that I’m okay on many days, if that makes sense. You know, again, it’s having the foundation. But I know that I can leap from it and grow in directions that if I hadn’t done this work on myself, I probably would be sitting still so tight knit with my money, being a hardcore accumulator. I remember my very first savings book as a kid, and I slept with it under my pillow, because it was so cool to see that money in my savings account. But again, as Robert said, you know, that’s not how you amass wealth, but it’s about balance, because you can’t be the maverick all the time and risk every single day and everything you have. So I think it’s a nice marriage, you know, of the two, the balance.

Mario Fachini  [14:24]  

It meant a lot to me, because I identify with that maverick. I’ve even heard some people say, gambler.

Eleni Anastos  [14:32]  

Yeah.

Mario Fachini  [14:33]  

And there might be some truth to that. But you know, you can’t always go for the big risk. But like you said, if you never take any risks, nothing’s going to change. So there’s, I don’t know if there’s a fine line. But I will say there’s a big old gray area that you got to figure out what works for you.

Eleni Anastos  [14:52]  

Yeah. Exaactly.

Mario Fachini  [14:52]  

So you were talking about your clients, and you work with them one on one, how else do you help them?

Eleni Anastos  [15:00]  

I also work with them in small groups. But primary, it’s been one on one, but I’m adding on more and more small groups for the more people want to come in. And not everybody is ready or at a place for one on one coaching and mentoring. So I’ve created groups to help fit that need as well. So people can still get support, and still get you know, some of the services because again, I’m on a mission for people to truly value themselves, stop undercharging value their work, and realize that they have every right to have abundance, you know, money is not a bad guy. Money is neutral, money’s energy like anything. It’s whatever we apply to it, whatever meaning we apply to it. So helping people get away from those limited beliefs. Oh my gosh, it’s been so gratifying to see the breakthroughs that they make. And like the freedom, it’s like busting free of the chains.

Mario Fachini  [16:01]  

Well, you have such a compelling message. And I’m thankful you’re sharing it with the audience, how would you say speaking has helped you get your message out there?

Eleni Anastos  [16:10]  

Being able to connect directly with people? Absolutely, because I’m very relationship oriented. And I believe in connection connection is what matters most and including your connection with money. But when people can see you and hear you, I think it’s far more impactful. Because at the end of the day, you know, people still buy from people. And yes, I am grateful for the internet, online platforms, everything and I utilize them. But I think we can’t forget the human element and just connecting, so being able to be in front of somebody face to face, or at least when they can hear you and see you. I’m so grateful to be able to connect with them on a human level.

SPONSOR – Acorns  [16:56]  

I agree. Too many people forget the art of just caring. I mean, I grew up, and one of my favorite things was always friends and having fun and family and different things. But there was that connection. There’s that relationship like you were speaking of. Now, I also like the internet, I’m a frickin nerd. And I feel very comfortable with all that kind of stuff. However, it’s given me the opportunity to be able to speak in a way where you can communicate with people from one generation and bridge the gap to the next one. Because the reality is they both work and help each other out. It’s not that anyone that has more wisdom and experience, let’s say if that’s a good way of saying it. You know, it’s not this generations fault. But conversely, if you don’t know how to do this nowadays, you know, open up a cell phone, check out an iPad, send an email, you’re going to have just as much trouble as 100 years ago for someone that, I don’t know, didn’t have a car or something. You know how at any point in time, there’s always that level. And it’s like, how can you stay ahead of the curve? Well, you need to be able to be more than just one thing at any one time. So we’re going to talk about how people can do that. We’re going to come back after we thank the sponsor for the Imperfect Action Round.

SPONSOR – Acorns  [18:18]

Mario Fachini  [19:31]  

Alright, we’re back with the Imperfect Action Round. Eleni, are you ready to take Imperfect Action?

Eleni Anastos  [19:36]  

Absolutely.

Mario Fachini  [19:37]  

Pretty much the only way to do it right?

Eleni Anastos  [19:39]  

Absolutely.

Mario Fachini  [19:39]  

You’re gonna love this question. You’re going to love all of these. And I ask them every interview, but you’re really going to love them. The first one is what is the fastest path to cash? What is one way that someone can make more money sooner than later?

Eleni Anastos  [19:56]  

Very simply is looking at raising your fees, because guarantee almost everybody is under charging. That being said, also look at the clients that you want to have, you know, look at who you want, what are the characteristics of your ideal client? Because you want to attract people that are going to happily pay your fees. Because they see the value in you.

Mario Fachini  [20:16]  

I like that. All right. Second one. What is the biggest problem you see your audience make? And how can they improve it?

Eleni Anastos  [20:23]  

Not charging what they’re worth. Again, completely undervaluing themselves, they seem stuck on how do I appropriately or properly price my product or my services, maybe into packages and then programs so you can create a profit pyramid that makes sense for your business. What I think a lot of entrepreneurs forget is that you get to decide, is the juice worth the squeeze? Know you decide how much your time is worth. And then you can build accordingly. Not everybody needs to make the same amount. But going back to, remember it’s your worth, it’s your business, you decide if the juice is worth the squeeze.

Mario Fachini  [21:02]  

I like that analogy. I love orange juice. And I’m assuming you’re talking about orange juice. But I also like lemon, I don’t generally drink it. But it is still good. It’s your choice either way. And so many people forget that it’s your business. It’s your show. It’s your life. It’s your book, it’s your whatever. So the last thing I want to ask is maximizing customer lifetime value, what would you say is the best way to do it?

Eleni Anastos  [21:31]  

Focusing on the value because to me, that’s the key word. And it’s cultivating that relationship with them. And remembering that you’re on the same team, you want the same result. And again, not confusing cost with value because it’s not the same thing at all. Clients are going to invest in themselves when they choose to work with you. And I think that’s the message that needs to continually be conveyed to them. They’re investing in their own growth, their own future by choosing you. 

Mario Fachini  [22:05]  

That is beautiful. So many people need to hear that. And I hope you’re listening with both ears Expert Authority World, because she is being up most honest and truthful. And you need to take this to heart. So the last thing I want to ask you is about books, what is the best book you could recommend to anyone?

Eleni Anastos  [22:26]  

Oh, because there are so many. One of the first ones that came to mind though, is The Science Of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles. It’s a very small book, but so potent and powerful. And it really demystify is everything. You know how many people think that, “Oh, getting rich is only for the lucky people or the special people or those super talented people.” It’s truly available to all of us. So, The Science Of Getting Rich.

Mario Fachini  [22:58]  

Is there another one you want to record meant to? You said there’s so many and there are. I’ll give you an extra one if you want it.

Eleni Anastos  [23:04]  

I mean, the classic tried and true, Think And Grow Rich. You know, I love Napoleon Hill. And it goes back to the beliefs and the mindset. You know, he didn’t say build a widget and grow rich. He said Think And Grow Rich. So it goes back to my point of you can’t succeed beyond your current beliefs. So you have to do the inner work first.

Mario Fachini  [23:28]  

I love that. So where can they find you to learn more? Because I know they’re going to want to.

Eleni Anastos  [23:33]

A personal message from Eleni…

I grew up in a family that believed a strong work ethic and flawless service was everything needed for success. Although forever grateful for that foundation, I realize now that there is much more to experience from the positive energy we put into our work, and that the way we define success is a very individual thing.Very common themes emerge as I am introduced to new clients. They find that their work ethic doesn’t guarantee anything from employers in uncertain economic times. Their problem-solving skills and innovation have often been ignored. They have a vision to grow their own business and feel stuck. They feel that they have much more to give, and it shouldn’t come at the expense of the life/work balance they deserve. They have responded with the courage to invest in themselves.

A not-so-funny thing happened as I began this personal message to you. I got stuck. Years after taking the same journey as my clients to specialize in business development, program coordination, personal development, training and assessment, I had stalled when it was necessary to turn the spotlight on myself. The blockage was resolved when I was honest with a friend who shares my entrepreneurial spirit. I was reminded that, as essential as work ethic and impeccable service are toward our dream, we all need a coach when we struggle to see the traps we inadvertently set for ourselves. The greatest strengths we have as entrepreneurs are our ideas and our ability to understand and adapt to our vulnerabilities and opportunities.

This small example of how we can stumble, and how quickly we can recapture the excitement, keeps me focused as the coach for clients of Business Insights Now.
