Mario Fachini  [0:52]  

Here she has everyone, Mrs. Kimberly Maska. How are you doing, Kimberly?

Kimberly Maska  [0:56]  

I am freaking fantastic. How are you doing?

Mario Fachini  [0:59]  

I’m okay. What’s going on with you? So I want to ask you, what inspired you? Please get into detail because I know your story. I want everyone in Expert Authority World to know it too. What inspired you to start your company?

Kimberly Maska  [1:13]  

You know, it’s an interesting story. Because it’s actually quite a personal story. It’s a little bit more than just, oh, let’s go create a company and change the world with our ideas and stuff. It was actually personal to the point where it had very much to do with my mom, who has transitioned. And it was a kind of that moment of seeing her life and the other stuff that she took with her. So she carried around a lot of baggage and that baggage in my kind of world and philosophy, that baggage turned into physical illness. And so the physical illness is actually what did her and she transitioned from cancer and I believe that she could have completely eradicated that process if she had just shifted her mindset. So everything I deal with is about mindset. And being able to have our thoughts create our reality. And I can see how my mom didn’t do that. And so when she transitioned, and I started to really reflect on her whole life and how she got to where she was and the things that she carried with her, it became really clear to me that if people would had a different perspective, a different insight of knowing that the past really means nothing at this point in time. And that we do create our reality with our thoughts and being able to focus on our desires and have them manifest because we know we deserve them, if we had more people sharing that message and that information. And if I had known it earlier and shared it with her earlier that maybe she could have saved herself. And so my inspiration for creating the company really comes from watching her story unfold before my eyes all those years, and seeing how that story could have had a different ending if she had had the right information. And so that inspired me to work with spiritual entrepreneurs, and healers and all the light workers that are out there that are showing people how to shift their perspective, how to shift the reality, how to raise their vibration. And so it’s my mission now to help 5000 spiritual entrepreneurs create 5000 businesses in five years, because I think our planet needs to be happier. A lot of people are stuck in the day today. And they need to be in a better space so that they can create and they can be happy and the world needs to be a better place.

Mario Fachini  [3:28]  

Well, I’m so glad you did. And I remember when you were starting your company, and I’m glad you touched on it. And I’m sorry to hear about your mom. But it sounds like you’re getting a lot of the strength, you know, despite the negative, you’re turning it into a positive. And I think it’s important to highlight that because you can also get trapped in that and you didn’t need to choose this path. But I’m glad. 

Kimberly Maska  [3:47]  

Yeah, yeah. You know, everything happens for a reason. And so when we see it, and we can step back for a moment and see the bigger picture, than we know why we are where we are. So it’s actually, again, everything happens it should be so it’s okay.

Mario Fachini  [4:01]  

So I want to ask you about who you help and how you help them. But if you could give a little bit more context, because there’s something I want you to touch on. You know, the story behind the story, where were you? Where did you come from that to get here? Were you always in the spiritual realm?

Kimberly Maska  [4:18]  

No, I was in this place called Wall Street, which we know a lot of people hold a certain vibration around and a certain opinion, but I always say don’t hold that against me. But I’ve lived a very blessed life. And I’ve been able to create incredible things. And one of the things that I manifested and created was really pretty awesome job in the Wall Street world. And actually, my background is not so much finances as it is technology. And so being able to build and design systems and things was always something that came very easy to me. And that got me into the Wall Street world. And I worked for a major firm. And then nine of us left, and we got, I don’t know what possessed says we create our own company, which was pretty awesome. And we were able to take it from sitting in the living room, we pulled together 15 million of our own money, and got a couple investors involved. And we were able to take it to $165 million company before the market turned. And that is a feat that I’m incredibly proud of. And it was such a learning experience, not only for creating a company, but just you get to reflect on who you are, and see your own growth. And then you get a moment where you step back and you say is this really where I belong? This is really what I should be doing? And the answer for me was no. And so I ended up parting ways, which was quite interesting, because you’ve really birthed this company, it’s like a child and you’ve created it with these partners. And at some point though, I just knew that that wasn’t my place anymore. And so after creating that, and spending eight years in New York in the Wall Street world and that it was amazing. And it gave me really the foundation that I needed for what I’m creating now. But yeah, I completely shifted, it was definitely, the spiritual would not be the word I would use for my time on Wall Street.

Mario Fachini  [6:08]  

Well, I’m glad you brought brought it up and elaborated on it. Because I think it’s important to know because some people think, oh, you may have lived out here your whole life, you may have been born that way there was this that in the context of it, of where you were not just oh, I was in corporate America before. No, no, you were in a specific niche of corporate America that is vastly different. And I think it’s so great, you consciously decided to do what you do now. And I think that personally, I take it as a bigger impact versus I just wanted to do something different. So thank you. So now I will ask you, who do you help and how do you help them?

Kimberly Maska  [6:45]  

Yeah, so I work with what I call spiritual entrepreneurs. Now the question is what is a spiritual entrepreneur? And I remember when I first started this, someone asked me, they said, so does the guy that owns the donut shop that does yoga, is that a spiritual entrepreneur? I was like, oh no, that’s that’s not what I’m talking about. For me, it’s really about the light workers and healers that have these incredible gifts that have been given to them by source or God, whatever the name is, you like to put to that entity that’s everywhere. And so it’s for that group of people that’s really trying to shift consciousness, that’s really the key, it’s the shifting of consciousness. So if we look around, and we know that everything vibrates, even the stuff we’re looking at our computers or tables, everything’s actually vibrating is not actually a solid thing. When we realize that we can consciously raise our own vibration to create a better life, it’s a pretty incredible thing. So my clients, what they’re doing is they’re trying to help people shift consciousness, to raise the vibration about who they are, to help them find their joy, and really find their connection to the source. Because that’s what it’s all about, whatever that source looks like for you, when we’re in that harmony, space, we’re just happy. And we’re joyous. And that’s why we’re on this planet is to be happy and joyous, not miserable, watching the news and complaining about things. That’s not what it’s about. So my clients are those that are there to help shift consciousness. However that looks, they could come up in all sorts of ways. But it’s about shifting consciousness so that we can really have a higher vibration planet.

Mario Fachini  [8:15]  

I love it. So let’s talk into your specific training, and what you’re taking people through.

Kimberly Maska  [8:22]  

Yeah, so the biggest thing is really getting them, shifting into their new identity. Because this is the thing, as an entrepreneur, we always think like, Hey, I’m an entrepreneur, I’m going to go out and I’m going to, we’re going to hustle, we’re going to really hustle and make it happen. So entrepreneurs have a certain mindset. But then you try and combine that entrepreneurship with a spiritual side. And that’s where things seem to break down. Because you’ve got the very like, left brain entrepreneurial side of things, even though building a business is incredibly creative. People forget how creative you must be to create a business. But we associated with the left brain, you’ve got to know the technology, you’ve got to watch your accounting stuff, there’s that piece of it, and then you get the spiritual side, and there’s this little clash. So what I tried to do is, is show them how there doesn’t need to be a clash, to show them how they can take on this new identity, as a spiritual leader, truly, not even just an entrepreneur, but my goals to help them become spiritual leaders so that they’re out there having a major impact. So when they’re working with me, they’re getting ready to shift their identity. And it’s all those things that happened to us internally, when we’re making that identity shift that have to be addressed. So my entire team is built of light workers. And so we help people on their spiritual path, because you’re really leveling up at that point, it’s you’re going from who you are, to an entrepreneur to a spiritual leader, it’s a whole different thing that happens. So we’re making sure that they are ascending through their vibrational path smoothly. And in addition to that, and then showing them the left side, the left brain stuff that needs to be done. Some of the tech stuff, and we make it as user friendly as possible, because I know that technology and spiritual entrepreneurs are like oil and water. So we do take the time to be able to show them those things in the easiest simple way. Because it’s really not that hard. I think it’s just a fear that we get, and we have this resistance that pops up and when the resistance pops up, it becomes an even bigger task than it needs to be. So we show them how to relax around it and see it as a tool and see social media as a tool to be able to reach thousands and millions of people around the world. And when we can shift perspective about what they’re creating, the left brain stuff seems a lot less scary. And then it’s about moving them through the kind of like, you know, identity ascension process to be a spiritual leader.

Mario Fachini  [10:45]  

I love it. And I love the fact that you’re not about, you know, hashtag grind. And, you know, one of my favorite sayings is stop the glorification of busy.

Kimberly Maska  [10:56]  

Yes.

Mario Fachini  [10:57]  

Like, what are you doing? Other than just killing your time.

Kimberly Maska  [11:01]  

Right. I actually had a client that when before he enrolled, his question to me personally, he said, “How many hours a week do you work? Because if I’m going to pick my mentor, I don’t want someone who’s working 90 hours a week because that’s not what I want to do.” And having done that, in the Wall Street world, I am very clear about taking my time so that I have my own personal space, I am tech free on the weekends. And I always say that no one else’s emergency is my emergency. And so I create that space where I really am in charge of my time. And it makes such a difference. So yeah, otherwise, I think we lose our minds.

Mario Fachini  [11:43]  

I think a lot of people have. I remember at a leadership conference, one of the people speaking and don’t quote me, but I think it was the guy who runs Ritz Carlton. And it was some big, big thing. And it’s either that or one of the higher ups at Microsoft, or maybe it was Melinda Gates from the Global Leadership Summit A few years ago, whoever it was, they were high level, they knew their stuff. And they said, they don’t ever go on a vacation for a week, they go for two, because after a week, people go, “Oh, it’s just a few more days and you’re back.” When they’re gone for two, they know we need to figure out a solution, and isn’t it interesting? There’s a lot less emergency. 

Kimberly Maska  [12:30]  

Yes. It’s fascinating when that happens.

Mario Fachini  [12:33]  

I want to ask you about, you know, you’ve been speaking on transformation, what’s the biggest transformation you’ve given to one of your clients that’s gone through your training? They were in a spot, you help them through it, where did they end up on the other side when you were done? 

Kimberly Maska  [12:49]  

Gosh, there’s been so many. It’s really the transformation, I think of self worth. Because when you can give them the knowing and that they’re worthy to create abundance, that is okay to do it with their spiritual gifts. In fact, that’s how you should be creating your money. Because if you’re not creating financial abundance with your gifts, I’m not sure what you’re doing, that means you’re working for somebody else. So you want to make sure that that’s what you’re using to create your money with. And so being able to give them that feeling of worth is really the key. And then that’s allowing them the freedom to be themselves too, because everyone’s path is unique. So yes, there’s certain things that work, but they have to have their freedom to create and not be too stuck in a box. And so probably one of my favorite transformations is actually now she works for me now as one of my coaches. And she had three children under the age of four, when she started in my boot camp, my spiritual business boot camp, they were actually on food stamps. And we’re trying to figure out what to do, her husband was working, but they weren’t making very much, they were really just truly scraping by. She figured out a way, she got what I call resourceful. So she’s, I would say that when someone is full of source and tapping into source that you can create whatever you desire. And so she became very resourceful. And she found a way to get into my program. And gosh, this was a year and change ago, this past year she did $117,000 cash collected. And it’s completely changed her life. And she actually works for me now on my team. So that’s probably one of the coolest transformations that’s come out of what I do. 

Mario Fachini  [14:35]  

From food stamps to six figures.

Kimberly Maska  [14:35]  

Yeah and a year in change. Yeah.

Mario Fachini  [14:36]  

That’s not too bad. I know a few people that might be interested in your program. Wow, that’s fantastic. So let’s talk about your program, how has created a training course helped you?

Kimberly Maska  [14:49]  

It’s incredible to see yourself grow with what you create. Because what I created four years ago is much different than what I created two years ago, which is so different than what I can create now. And I think what’s been really fun, and I teach this to my clients; is to have the realization that when you’re creating a business, it is a creative process. And you’re never going to get it really wrong, but you’re never going to really get it done either. So it’s having the awareness that you’re ever expanding and growing. So I go through the process of seeing, you know, where are the clients, what feedback am I getting, how can I get them even better results every time and then being able to see myself grow, which shows up in the course. So the way I look at it is that I’m in viewing my course of my vibration. And where I am in my journey shows up in my teaching. So when I’m teaching my clients wherever I am is where I’m teaching from. And then when I go through kind of an ascension process through the vibrational shift, I have to relook at what of my core beliefs have changed, like what’s different about me now and how can I teach differently. So it every time I look at my course, it’s like a new version of me. And in fact, right now I’m recording several videos for the course just because I know my team and I have up leveled. So I have to make sure that the material and the content has the same vibration as the team. But it’s pretty fun to watch, because you get to watch yourself truly expand if you’re paying attention to that.

Mario Fachini  [16:19]  

I can totally relate to that. When I did my first book ,when I did for my first training, you know, even some audio stuff years ago, I look at it now. And truthfully, even before we started filming this episode, I saw something on Facebook, one of the memory deals, and I was like holy smokes, this looks like it’s from 100 years ago. And it wasn’t too long ago. But you know, when you shoot 3000 plus videos, you’re going to notice the differences, and it’s embedded on film forever. So speaking of videos, how has using video in your business helped you?

Kimberly Maska  [16:55]  

is such an amazing way to connect. I mean, it’s incredible that we can do this, we can be completely across the country from each other, use video, have a conversation. I mean, that’s this is how I conduct my courses. So my clients are all over the world. And I’m able to use video to connect with them and see them and it’s, it’s amazing. I wonder what we did before. I mean, truly what I do now I couldn’t have done before, there wouldn’t have been any way pre social media, there’s no way because that’s how I’m connecting with them. And that’s how you’re finding your tribe. And then being able to connect with them via video, you know, on your courses so that they can be everywhere around the world. And we meet twice a week and they come in with their questions, and I really get to know them. So video has been such a game changer. Plus just doing any kind of Facebook Live, you get an idea and inspiration, you’re able to share it with thousands of people in an instant, it’s kind of mind blowing really, like we can do with the fact that we can sit in our living room in our PJs, and do an amazing video.

Mario Fachini  [17:59]  

Yeah, it is pretty well remarkable and especially with technology and how it’s advancing, I’m not going to date this with something that’s going to be coming out. But I like the fact that you know, 20 years ago, 10 years ago, five years ago, whatever it is, it’s always advanced. It’s always advanced. And I remember having a dream to have a certain internet speed. And now it’s like, wow, that’s slow now. And all we’re doing is bridging the gap for who we can reach around the world and how fast we can reach them. So I love it because it levels the playing field of like you said, I mean, you know, your transformational story, someone on food stamps a year later, they’re making six figures. Where else and what point in time, could you have done that?

Kimberly Maska  [18:42]  

Yeah and how could I have met her? And how could she have met her clients? It’s really is incredible. And we have to give some gratitude for that. I think we started to take it for granted, that technology thing – we get annoyed when our phone is slow or internet isn’t quite as fast as we want. It’s like goodness, this didn’t even exist not that long ago. And so we have to have that moment of gratitude for it because it does allow us to connect around the world

Mario Fachini  [19:08]  

It really does. And I remember when I was studying video production years ago, I’m sure as heck not going to date myself. But the technology. And even then I was grateful for it. Because the stuff that cinematographers would do in the movie industry, you used to need millions of dollars to do it in the cameras and all this stuff. And I remember sitting there in college learning going, this is all just from a computer in a room, it happens to be at college. But I remember one of the first things I did is I picked up some clients. And I persuaded one of them to invest in, basically given me thousands of dollars so I could build a custom computer with all the software and everything to do some of their commercials. And I remember thinking there’s nothing in this room at college that you couldn’t put in your house. Now it’s friggin laptop.

Kimberly Maska  [20:00]  

Yeah.

Mario Fachini  [20:01]  

And this wasn’t live streaming. This was broadcast and special effects and editing. But even then it was like, wow, what a giant leap forward. And now, I mean, you can broadcast stuff from your cell phone, you can do it from a laptop anywhere in the world. And it’s you know, that’s part of my reason for doing this is to inspire people to go no matter where you are in the world. You can start a business, and you can be successful with it. And I appreciate you for sharing that story. I’m sure you’ve got dozens of them. But we’re going to thank our sponsor and come back for the Imperfect Action Round.

Mario Fachini  [21:48]  

Alright, we’re back for the Imperfect Action Round. Kimberly, are you ready to take imperfect action?

Kimberly Maska  [21:54]  

Of course, I do it every day.

Mario Fachini  [21:57]  

Alright, so first question, what is the biggest problem you see your audience making and how can they fix it?

Kimberly Maska [22:04]  

For my audience in particular, it’s really just the fear of stepping out. They’re afraid of what other people are going to say. So they start looking around, they do a lot of comparison energy. They say, “Oh, there’s already people doing this. Why would I do that?” And so it just keeps them from doing anything. And so exactly like you were talking about imperfect action, they’re not doing it, they’re doing nothing when the world needs them. So if they can just realize that the reason why they’ve been given these gifts is because they are supposed to use them and step out and help people, just do that and worry, or stop worrying really, because all the worry doesn’t do anybody any good. Just know that that’s your purpose. That’s why you were given those gifts. And that’s what you should be using to create abundance in your life.

Mario Fachini  [22:48]  

I love it. So the next path, you’re going to love this one, what’s the fastest path to the cash?

Kimberly Maska  [22:55]  

Fastest path to the cash is your mind. So I’m all about eradicating the poverty mindset, because that is what keeps us away from the money. It’s just because I can see clients who come through who have gotten over the poverty mindset, he knows that they deserve it, they’re worth it, that it’s their birthright to be abundant, and they create abundance immediately. And then I can teach the exact same steps to somebody who is suffering from poverty mindset, and takes them quite a bit longer. So it’s all in our mind.

Mario Fachini  [23:30]  

I love it. So one more question about the money, customer lifetime value, what’s the best way in your opinion to maximize it in a business?

Kimberly Maska  [23:42]  

Service. It’s all about service. When you can serve and transform someone, they will never leave. I mean, I have people that’s like, “I am never leaving what you’re doing.” And a lot of times they end up working for me, because they don’t want to leave the energy of what I’ve created in how we’re serving. So when you serve, they’re with you for life,

Mario Fachini  [24:03]  

that is a good problem to have that, you know, you could also do a course on recruiting and staffing.

Kimberly Maska  [24:09]  

I could because my team is amazing. I mean, I am so blessed with the people on my team. And people ask me, they’re like, “Well, where did you find them? What did you do”? And I have to be honest, I just attracted them. I have an idea of who I want on the team and they just show up. So, that would be my course. It would be like just get into vibrational alignment and they really will just come to you.

Mario Fachini  [24:32]  

So let’s talk about books. What is a book that has changed your business?

Kimberly Maska  [24:39]  

Hmm. So I read a lot of Joseph Murphy and it’s his whole things about training your subconscious mind. And so being able to master your thoughts is what creates your reality which creates the abundance which is what creates the amazing life that you have waiting for you. So Joseph Murphy, for me is amazing and there’s several of them. I actually just bought like a collection of his words like, no joke. It’s like about a four inch thick book. It’s pretty, it’s pretty impressive. So with following his influence, and being able to master my thoughts is what helps me create the business. So it’s not a business book, but it’s a mastering of me, because when I master me, I master everything I create.

Mario Fachini  [25:27]  

I love it. Because even though it’s not a business book, and if you noticed, I didn’t say it has to be a business book, I’ve actually been waiting for someone to not talk about business books. So you’re the first one who, I wouldn’t say bent the rules, because I purposely designed it that way. But thank you for your time. Kimberly, it’s been great having you. Why don’t you share with everyone where they can find you and the website.

Kimberly Maska  [25:56]  

So they can Yeah, they can find me at KimberlyMaska.com. So all my who I am is up there but I have a free gift. That’s a training that really is about the mindset shifts that a spiritual entrepreneur and or really a spiritual entrepreneur who wants to have the business the shifts that they need to go through to be able to create the six figure business and so they can go to SpiritualBizSuccess.com, everything I do is spiritual biz. And so your SpiritualBizSuccess.com will give them the link there to be able to watch the free training and really absorb it. I have people that watch that training that come away saying they’ve got stickies all over their room with all the little tidbits that they picked up on how to shift their mindset so they can create their abundance.

Spare change, how’s that going to make a difference? I know that’s what I thought before I started investing with Acorns. Throwing change in a jar is not very leveraged and time consuming. But what about all the transactions you don’t use cash for, you know like majority? Acorns not only invest your spare change automatically with roundups it also lets you add a preset amount to each transaction regardless. It’s pretty inspiring to see how quickly and easily you can end up with a pile of cash instead a pile of receipts. Get Started simply and easily today at EAinterviews.com/Acorns.
