Jenna Harrison: [00:00:00] Want to win a full scholarship for six months of business coaching? Here's how.
You're listening to the Uncommon Way Business and Life Coaching Podcast. The podcast that helps women entrepreneurs get clear on signature offers and strategies that sell themselves so you can lean back and stop the hustle. You will learn to maximize your mindset, messaging, and strategy. And step into the uncommonly successful business and life you are creating.
Here's your host, top ranked business coach and reformed over analyzer turned queen of clarity, Jenna Harrison.
Welcome back to The Uncommon Way. I am excited to use this space this week to share the details of a full scholarship we'll be granting in honor of Black History Month in the hopes that you will either apply yourself Or, share this [00:01:00] opportunity with whomever you think might be a fit. We really want to cast a net as wide as possible, and so the more people you tell, hopefully the more they'll tell, leading us to our amazing winner.
And in fact, we might be offering an exciting free gift for the person who's most active in helping us spread the word, so please check Instagram for more details. In this episode, you'll get full details about the scholarship, then I'll give you some information about what I'd be inviting you into and what we're all about here at The Uncommon Way, and finally, I'll share the why behind why I'm doing this.
Starting tomorrow, February 12th, applications will open for this opportunity. One black woman with a service based business or an idea for a service based business. We'll receive six months of semi private business coaching with me inside our Clarity Accelerator Mastermind at zero cost. Now, at its normal 10k price, [00:02:00] I believe this mastermind is the best value available anywhere.
But this? This is Next Level, so let's run through some frequently asked questions. Number one, who can apply? You need to be a Black woman entrepreneur from the United States. Since Black History Month is about honoring the story and contributions of Black Americans, we're keeping this local. Stay tuned, though, for future scholarship opportunities if you don't meet this requirement.
Also, your business is more than just a financial tool to you. While we love money and we know how important it is, this program is meant for women with a strong sense of purpose and meaning in their work. Next, you need to be able to fully commit for six months to transforming yourself and your business.
I said zero cost before, but the truth is you'll need to contribute time and you'll need to contribute focus. And I'll be real, the Clarity Accelerator isn't [00:03:00] for tentative, half hin people. It is work. Not because business is hard, but because being in business feels hard. In large part, because what we need to do for ourselves in business butts up against so many things we've been taught to think and do.
And that's 10 times true as true for black women in the United States. I recommend so strongly that you listen to my episode 133, which we'll link to, where I lay out statistics about why more women don't reach 1 million in revenue. It is really mind blowing research, and you'll never think about yourself in quite the same way.
But back to my point, you do need to be committed and all in, and that includes taking action. This is not a program where we just think about things and create business plans or wait until everything's perfect and we have perfect funding in order to take action. We are [00:04:00] implementing with whatever we've got, we're gathering data, we're adjusting, we're implementing again, we're gathering data.
I need to know that even though you're not paying, you have a lot of skin in the game and you are going to stretch yourself to show up differently, you're going to take action you've never taken, while of course being totally supported by me and a loving group of women who are cheering you on and they want to share whatever they can with you so that you can succeed.
And lastly, you need to be able to attend the majority of our weekly calls on Thursdays at 10 a. m. Eastern. Another question, you might be wondering about the dates. So applications open tomorrow, February 12th, and they'll close on February 21st. The winner will be announced on February 28th, and you'll begin the six month program as early as March 28th.
Okay, how do I apply? Tomorrow, you just go to theuncommonway. com forward [00:05:00] slash scholarship, and you'll get all the information about how to apply. Basically, you're going to be filling in a form, and you're going to create a short video so we can get to know you and what you're all about. You might be wondering, okay, how much time will I need to dedicate to this?
It really varies per week and it varies per person. Some people might come to the calls, watch a couple of pre recorded trainings, and then implement those tweaks and see huge changes in their businesses. Others will choose to work through every single worksheet and then maybe redo them and then journal on them.
Who knows, right? We are all in different places in our business and as CEOs. If you're just starting out, I'd say give yourself 10 hours per week for this work and business building combined. If you've been in business for a while and your business is functioning well, then give yourself two to three hours.
Now, if you know that you're a person that tends to take longer on things, Then extend that a little [00:06:00] bit, give yourself some buffer. If this is your first introduction to me or the Clarity Accelerator, here is what you need to know. The Clarity Accelerator was, it was created to answer one big question.
How do we build high profit and high purpose businesses that actually give us work life balance? My mission is to help women live uncommon lives of their choosing. And that starts with having the autonomy to call your own shots. For over seven years now, I've refined a simple, proven framework that works for service based businesses of all kinds and all levels, from just starting out to already at seven figures plus.
It's helped hundreds of women across four continents build their businesses without sacrificing their lives to stress and burnout. As you evolve into the CEO your business needs, we will refine your unique genius into really compelling no brainer offers [00:07:00] that attract the right clients. You'll craft powerful, meaningful messaging and sales strategies while expanding your vision of what is really possible for your growth.
But thriving as an entrepreneur, it requires more than strategy. It demands personal transformation, too. And many aspects of entrepreneurship, like I said, they challenge societal expectations of women, and even more so for Black women. That's why the Clarity Accelerator also focuses on mindset and emotional mastery.
You will develop a resilient, calm mindset to handle challenges with poise and confidence. Emotional regulation skills, so you'll calm your nervous system and lead from a place of grounded strength. And self trust, making decisions with clarity and tapping into your intuition as a really powerful guide.
Through smarter, more intentional work, [00:08:00] I want to see you thriving on just three focused days of work per week. If that's your goal. Because that constraint, it really unlocks your creativity and it fosters better solutions, and it transforms you into this strategic embodied leader that you're meant to be.
Now, you might wonder, why clarity? I'm already clear on what I'm selling. I just need someone to brainstorm with me about what to do and in what order. It is because even with the best business plan, There's always something critical yet to be discovered for your next level. If clarity weren't the missing piece, you would already be there.
Clarity drives everything. Your messaging, your strategic planning, even manifestation. That is why it's Queen. The Clarity Accelerator helps you quickly pinpoint what's required to accelerate your growth, whether that takes a few weeks or a couple of months. You will [00:09:00] never regret investing time to think strategically and dial in the pieces for game changing results.
And then we'll spend the rest of our time together implementing what you've discovered and finding even more high leverage opportunities. My job, it is to give you a proven framework, to help you implement it effectively, and to keep reorienting you towards smarter work, all while staying true to your vision and your values.
We do this through weekly calls that I host, a WhatsApp group that I'm in throughout the week, and the support of your mastermind sisters who collaborate and cheer you on. This is a mastermind where everybody knows your name and your business. You'll receive high level coaching in a supportive, semi private environment.
Because when your business supports you, there's no limit to the impact you can make or the life that you can create. If you're curious about my motivation for [00:10:00] creating this scholarship, it is because I've always wanted to do it. As soon as I started creating Good Profit in my business, I created this podcast where I'm able to help more people than could afford to work with me.
And now that my program is at the point where it's Basically runs itself. I'm able to bring in additional clients without it taking a lot of additional time from me. And so this moment in time is really a dream come true. If you're curious and you want to hear more about how I've thought about accessibility and balance that with unwinding some of the conditioned thoughts that women are good people only when they're working basically for free and putting other people's needs ahead of their own I've linked to episode 37 called Price Accessibility for Your Clients.
And lastly, we're going to be calling this the Mary Rainsway Scholarship in honor of my ancestor who came over from Ireland as a young woman and in so doing put the wheels in place to break [00:11:00] the legacy of poverty in my family line. It feels so meaningful to be able to honor her bravery and her legacy.
Please apply if this is for you, just do it. We all know the stories about how women will refrain from applying to jobs because they perceive they won't get it, or they talk themselves into believing it's not for them, or that they can't do it right now. Whatever. Don't let this be you. Last year, during Black History Month, I had a couple of successful Black coaches take over the podcast episodes to share their best lessons learned for other Black women entrepreneurs.
I'll link to both of those. They're great. And one of these coaches, Jermaine, opened by saying that she almost didn't put her name in the hat because of the things I've just described. She got over it luckily, and she did it, and she came on and did an amazing podcast. So be like Jermaine. If you want it, you have got to go for it.
And if this is not for [00:12:00] you, please share it far and wide so we can find the person. It is meant for. All right. That's it for today. Let's talk again on Tuesday.
