Module 7: The Enlightened Entrepreneurial Mindset
Becoming the Person You Need to Be to Manifest Your Vision
Taught by Ryan Eliason, Social Entrepreneur Empowerment Network

Ryan Eliason, one of the world’s top coaches for socially conscious entrepreneurs, believes that success is 90% psychological and 10% technical. In other words, it’s 10% skill and technical know-how, and 90% attitude, confidence, focus, determination, and your inner “mental game.” Effective technical strategies are essential to success, but without addressing the psychological level, you’re only going to reach a tiny percentage of your potential. Mastering the art and science of “being” could lead to more success and satisfaction in business and life than you might imagine. It’s perhaps the most critical element of business success.

In this module, you’ll:

• Step into consistently being your best self — the person you need to be in order to achieve your vision
• Get clear on the attitude you need to embody in order to reach your vision
• Master the technology for transforming your attitude and your way of being
• Create a clear, comprehensive written list of the internal and external obstacles to achieving your vision
• Create a written plan for triumphing over each of those obstacles
• Identify your core limiting beliefs and apply a powerful proven technique for transforming them into empowering beliefs
• Understand how to identify the voice of your “gremlinr” so that you’re empowered to act from the inner knowing that this voice is not your truth

About Ryan Eliason

Ryan’s mission is to empower socially conscious entrepreneurs to transform the world’s most pressing problems. As a teenager, Ryan co-founded Youth for Environmental Sanity, which has supported more than 675,000 young visionary leaders from 65 nations working on social change, human rights and environmental sustainability. Ryan believes that business can be a powerful force for transformation. In just three years, more than 100,000 people joined his Social Entrepreneur Empowerment Network, a rapidly growing global community of changemakers. His programs have empowered thousands of conscious entrepreneurs with the tangible skills and mindset shifts needed to expand the reach and positive impact of businesses that focus on a triple bottom line: People, Planet and Profit. He is now one of the world’s top coaches for social entrepreneurs and has trained over 4,000 satisfied clients from 85 countries and all 50 states.
