86: Sandra Bravo Manifest Your Dreams, Do Good and Be Amazing With Your Mindset

Welcome to this amazing morning interview that we are going to do with this very super amazing lady whom I’ve met and she was a host of this virtual event that we did together, it was a success. I just felt that her energy was super amazing because when I researched about her, and I read about her, this lady is doing super amazing a lot of work.

Sandra Bravo has wealth experience including a decade managing sales teams. Fifteen years in corporate entrepreneurship and has more than 9 years speaking at international events. She is a certified master practitioner at NLP speakers training, best selling author and international keynote speaker. As a single mother of two and owner of three businesses, Sandra believes deeply in a power of female empowerment.

She has spoken in over 13 countries and trained over 15,000 students. Sandra brings a wealth of knowledge and passion for her practice. She has this very pure determination, will and super self-motivated because establishing her own business got amazing. To support like minor women, Sandra channels energy into transforming female businesses and supporting their personal enrichment through public speaking.

(4:52-5:12) And I know what I’m gonna do when I’m full of purpose. And I believe that empowering and serving others really feeds the soul. And I'm fulfilled, I'm full when I'm doing what I love. You know when you’re doing something you don’t like or you’re in a job that you despise, or anything like that, everything becomes a drag.

(5:21-5:28) and that’s a really good sign that you’re not doing what you’re supposed to be doing. That you’re not living into your life purpose.

(5:37) Life is different. You’re excited to do things. You’re excited to take care of your health, and your relationships, and your family and to help others because you’re inline with your purpose. And that’s I guess where the energy and the passion comes from. 

(9:17-9:28) and it was until I got up on stage and I had the courage to finally make a public declaration saying, “This is what I wanna do. I wanna be a speaker.”. And it’s amazing, Genecia.

(10:30-10:42) This is what I wanted and it was my chance to make it happen. So the big day came when I got to present in front of Harv and all of his trainers. You know, he was very impressed.

(10:47-10:56) and out of the 67 people they chose one person to start an assistant training for Harv. And that one person was me. It was life changing.

(12:00-12:21) And I wouldn't get out of bed until I got that split second of certainty of, “I got this. I can do this.”. Because for me Genecia, I think visualizing and taking action go hand in hand. You can visualize all day long but if you don't take action it’s not gonna fall out of the sky. And you can take action all day long, which I see soft in these days with entrepreneurs,

(12:27-12:32) they don't take the time to work on their mindset. They don't take their time to become clear, “What is it that I want?”. 

(12:35-12:42) “Is my action today getting me closer or farther away from my goal?”, rather than just being busy all day but I don’t know what I’m accomplishing.

(12:49-12:57) Visualize. Be clear on your goals, what you want. That’s when I became clear on what I wanted to do. And then take action. So i thought what’s the fastest way for me to get there.

(13:06-13:25) I didn’t quit my job straight away. So I started to get offers for speaking at events I was doing a lot of Asia back then. And I still have my full time job. And I always say to my women, my clients that I coach, “ You never quit your main source of income until you have replaced it.”.

(13:32-13:49) A new business, a new venture, a new anything takes time to build to get the momentum. So what happens after 3 months, you’re working on the new thing but it’s not giving you that income yet and now you become all stressed because you’re not making “ends-meet” because you left your main source of income.

(13:56-14:00) You never leave your main source of income until you’ve replaced it. 

(14:47-15:03) I knew it was a short term sacrifice for a long term reward. Because I thought I can quit now, which many people do when it gets difficult and I can go back to the same and nothing will change, or I can just push through these difficult times knowing the reward will come.

(15:09-15:19) And that’s what I did. I juggle a full time job and speaking for a full year. And then eventually when I was making a lot more money speaking than my job did, then I quit my job.

 

(16:12-16:35) These days I see that the number one reason why people don’t become successful is because they keep chasing the shiny bright object. And you know they got, “Oh! That person did really well doing that. I wanna try it too.”. So I was one of those and I’m guilty of that. I tried and then I realized it’s not my personality. It’s not what I love.

(16:44-16:51) And so after, I guess, eliminating everything what’s not then I realize this is my passion. And then all the dots connected.

(17:34-17:42) Do you know what ? Ever since I was a child, whenever I had a little group of friends, a little audience, I loved teaching and speaking in public. So it makes sense.

(17:56-18:06) And that’s when I went, “Do you know what ? I'm not  going into trying it anymore to see if it works. I’m going all out.”. And that’s when I eliminated all of the other distractions.

(18:20) It’s so important to make a financial commitment because then you’re putting all of you on the line, a hundred percent committed and that’s what happened for me.

(20:58-21:14) It’s a really good tool to remember what little things you accomplished in the past because that wires the thinking, the neurons in the brain to go, “Actually I am resourceful. I’m determined. When I want something, nothing is gonna get on the way.”

(21:55) As long as I can see that little next step, i’ll just take it. I’ll trust and the words will be revealed.

(22:44-23:10) And I realized, you know what, it doesn't matter what country, what cultural background you were brought up, what language you speak, I realized the common theme across the voice. This woman doesn't believe she’s good enough. And that’s the only reason why she’s being held back and not going all out. And that’s when I went, “That’s it! I’m doing women empowerment. I’ve got to protect these women and show them that they are good enough to do what they think.

(23:27-23:50) And just like a successful man has a successful woman behind, a successful woman has a group of successful women behind holding her back. Because we need each other. We’re here to uplift each other and push each other up the ladder rather than pull them back into the bucket like the crabs do,you know. So that’s when I really discovered this is what I wanna do.

(24:24_24:35) First of all for me, a big lesson was to learn the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. Coz’ a fixed mindset, this thinking you’re good enough so you should be good at everything you should know at all.

(24:45-24:56) This is a big mistake. Kids that believe they’re smart? Guess what. They cannot make mistakes coz’ it just crashes their self-esteem. They’re supposed to know it all. They’re supposed to be good.

(25:01-25:11) Ever since I changed my vocabulary and I always say to my kids, “Oh you’re very resourceful. Oh you’re very creative. Oh, you didn’t give up. You keep trying.”

(30:14-30:21) The first one is, the more vulnerable you are the easier it is to overcome the fear.

(30:52-31:00) So the thing that you feared the most, bring it over straight away. Get over it. So guess what? I turned my weakness into my strength.

(31:23-31:36) So vulnerability, right? The thing that you’re more scared of, share it. If you mess up, if you made a big  mistake, share it in public. Because that’s when people connect with you because they know you’re being authentic.

(32:41-32:48) the thing is the sooner you make a decision despite how scared you are, the sooner you’ll find out if it’s good or if it’s right or wrong.

(33:03-33:07) Talk about it. Make it public. Be vulnerable and just train your mind to believe.

(34:57-35:13) To work on yourself more than you work on your business or your job or whatever it is that you do for a living. I always say the mindset is 80% of the equation. 20% is the mechanics, the strategy of it.

(35:22-35:33) but if you don't  have that 80% of the equation which is the mindset,you're gonna  find a way to sabotage your success. So it’s very important that you put that 80% first, which is working on yourself.

(35:36) A really powerful strategy, Genecia, is journaling. In the mornings or at night, to release all the trapped emotions that we have from childhood and from those teenage years, especially as women, because those trapped emotions that we never released become energy blocks in the subconscious which now stopped you from attracting all the good that you want and that you deserve to have.

(39:27) It all comes from within. Working on yourself. Working on your mindset.

(43:05) Wow! I’m really excited. I actually put it on sandybravo.com

(43:13) So basically, the creator of this is called Prosperity of Life.

(43:40-43:56) It’s amazing because whenever you think, whenever you say the word direct sales , people think multilevel marketing, which are 2 complete different things. Because  multilevel marketing is you offering products which are usually lotions and supplements which I don’t do and I don’t like doing.

(43:59-44:08) Second of all, you sell something and you hardly get paid anything , ‘coz it’s another hundred people on the multi level that need to get paid. So you are working your butt off for nothing.

(44:09-44:32) So this is direct sales in the sense that the first two sells you make, whether they’re retail or business opportunities, you pass him over to your director as a thank you because she took the time to train you into the business. But after that, anything and everything you unroll yourself is for you. So you get to keep 80 to 90% of the profits.

(44:44-44:54) So that means every sale you make you get $19000 profit. $5000 or $2000  or $1900.

(46:02) I’m going all in with that because I think it’s just a complementation to my business and to what i am already doing and you can read more about it on sandybravo.com, I'm very excited about that new venture.

(46:35-46:52) A soul rich woman for me is a woman that is accomplished. A woman that is doing what she loves. A woman that has the freedom to be herself.  There’s nothing worse than living a life of being in  jail pretending to be who you’re not, trying to please everyone else. 

(47:00-47:08) To get to financial freedom you’ve got to grow yourself to the level, that vibration of energy of financial freedom.

(47:09-47:24) It’s allowing you to become free in terms of your emotions, your relationships and everything else. It’s allowing you to become abundant and wealthy. So a Soul Rich Woman is a woman that leads a life in her own terms.

(47:41-47:43) Freedom! For sure, freedom.

(47:51-47:58) If you have financial independence you have freedom of time and money. You have freedom to go wherever you want with whoever you want.

(48:07-48:12) If you have freedom you are able to spend quality time with your family.

(48:21-48:30) Freedom encompasses everything else, you know. Like I am free because I am Fabulous. Why am I Fabulous? Only because I am myself.

(49:07) If you do nothing to change right now. If you don’t take any actions, think about your life in 5-10 years from now.

(49:19-49:26) How miserable, lonely, broke you’re gonna be. Sitting on that porch, thinking, “Oh my God, I wish I had.”

(49:31-49:40) By then it’s too late. So now is the time. I  mean 30 days from now you’ll be so glad you started today. In a year from now, in fact, you’ll be so glad you started today.
