Empowering women to stand up, show up, and take actionThe guest I am bringing you this week is someone incredibly special, a woman who can scale any business and shows up real, raw, and vulnerable. Olenka Cullinan is an entrepreneur, corporate speaker, author, life coach, and badass founder of Rising Tycoons, as well as iStartFirst. Throughout this episode she shares her journey to success and how her family and upbringing shaped her, her mentality, and her drive to become everything she put her mind to. Listen to this episode to hear the story of how one woman uprooted her life in Russia, paved her own way to success in America (with no support or money), and how you can be empowered to do the same with your own business.A leader goes first Olenka Cullinan was raised to believe that any good leader has to go first. Her mother was a die-hard entrepreneur who worked 80 hours a week and her dad was a very conservative government official. At a young age she learned how to develop a strategy for success based on minimal resources, and after her parents’ divorce, was uprooted from Russia and forced to move to Iowa with her family. Teaching the skills to succeedOlenka shares how she moved to school, met a girl on the plane, and with borrowed money built a home and worked three jobs to get through college. She talks about her journey to becoming a teacher, the job she took in Phoenix teaching at a county school, and the impact the children made on her—forever changing her life. During her time teaching there, she realized the skills that students needed to learn to succeed were outside the regular curriculum—and decided to teach them. Scaling her first businessShe discusses the beginning of her first company, Rising Tycoons, and the children she worked with that grew from a few to 10,000 within three years. As she continued to evolve and speak at conferences around the country, she began to realize the few women who were present at each one. That needed to change. Empowering women leadersToday, Olenka is the founder of the iStartFirst event, workshop, mastermind, and business. She teaches women the importance of embracing both their feminine and masculine sides and to use inherent strengths to their advantage to make their dreams come true.

The point is do it in your lowest moments when you want to quit and lock away.” 38:08 -Olenka “We think that all those things that happened in the past disqualified me to lead, and it's actually those things that make me more qualified to lead.” 39:03

Olenka’s theory of there being 90 seconds to success. Hitting that “brick wall” so that you can move on to the next level. How social media influences fear in our world today. What Olenka recommends, just do whatever it takes until you are no longer afraid. Being realistic and celebrating the small accomplishments along the way. “Done is always better than perfect”- Olenka Cullinan Why it is that you can never be better than your mindset. Comparing business to paint by numbers. Anyone can be taught how to paint by numbers, but only you can control your mindset. Ashley discusses how she is a recovering perfectionist, and that having something “done is better than perfect”, really resonates with her. Have you read the book “Girl Wash Your Face”? The lies we tell ourselves, and how they are a reminder of what we feel we haven’t yet accomplished. Olenka recommends making a list of what you need to celebrate before moving on to the next step. While it’s amazing to celebrate the “win”, we spend 80% of getting to that point in the process, so maybe we should be celebrating the process along the way. Olenka talks about how when she’s running a marathon, if she isn’t enjoying herself then crossing the finish line doesn’t mean anything to her. Ashley talks about running a half marathon. Olenka talks about how people don’t struggle with negative thinking, for whatever reason that comes very easily, it’s the positive thinking that people struggle with. Why are women terrible about saying positive things about themselves? Learning to share your highs, and your lows and learning to celebrate the little victories on the way to whatever your goal may be. Olenka talks about what to expect at one of her bootcamps. The #iStartFirst bootcamps aren’t just for entrepreneurs, they attract a diverse group of women. Why creating a raw, authentic and real environment is important to allowing boot camp attendees to feel safe. People crave relationships and connections in real life, Olenk tries to help people do this. Olenka talks about how creating a goal, means that it must also be measurable, because numbers don’t lie. Olenka talks about teaching women and young girls how to manage their finances. Believing that the Universe will always bring you what it is you ask for. Knowing that finance isn’t some hidden sparkly unicorn in space. Trying to simplify finance, make it easy for women to understand. It’s not something that is traditionally taught to us in school. Knowing how to manage your money no matter your income, just because you can afford a fancy financial advisor doesn’t mean you shouldn’t know what’s happening with you money. Ask lots and lots of questions. If you don’t believe in the product or service you are selling, then you are in the wrong business. Knowing your value, when Ashley spoke for the first time, how she struggled to put a price on herself as a speaker. Knowing who all of your competitors are, calling them up pretending to be a customer to find out what it is that they offer. Making sure that whatever it is that you are selling, that you will be making a profit in the end. When you have a side hustle you need to know what the ultimate goal of your side hustle is. Do you need the side hustle for fun money or vacations? Or do you need the side hustle to pay a specific bill? How to identify a successful business. Knowing your goal, are you building a lifestyle or a legacy?

Olenka Culling - Founder of Rising Tycoons - Stop Preparing & Just Start

  I heard today’s guest, Olenka Cullinan, speak at an event recently and I just knew her story had to be shared with this audience. In a nutshell, this entrepreneurial powerhouse left Russia at age 19 with only $450 to her name (that she borrowed from her uncle) determined to seize the American dream and build anything she wanted. While growing up in an entrepreneurial household (her mom was a die-hard entrepreneur with her own company), she chose to pursue education instead in an effort to distance herself from the entrepreneurial world. Once in the U.S., she worked three jobs at one point to complete her education degree (and completed it without owing a cent!).   While Olenka loved teaching people, she soon felt the pull to do more and leapt back into the entrepreneurial world while combining it with her training in education. She may have started off with humble beginnings, but she has since used the skills she knew she had and BUILT her own success. Olenka is determined to help others discover their passions and now teaches teenagers the skills to become successful entrepreneurs in her Rising Tycoons Academy. She truly believes in helping this country’s youth turn their dreams into a dream life. I already know I’ll be applying the principles she taught in this episode to my children down the road. Be sure to tune in to find out how you can too. --   Question Highlights:   Why didn’t you choose to be an entrepreneur right away when you came to the U.S.?   What is the opportunity landscape here in the U.S. compared to where you came from?   Do you believe there is an immigrant edge that gives you a leg up in terms of grit and hard work?   What is Rising Tycoons?   Where can adults do a better job in creating kid tycoons?   What is a “passionista?”   What is holding people back the most when it comes to pursuing their passionista journey?   Do you see teens struggle with the same limiting beliefs that adults struggle with when it comes to earning money?   How do you want your daughter to view money and success when she grows up?     In This Episode You Will Learn:   How Russian-born Olenka became an entrepreneur living the American dream   How nothing is required outside of your own mindset and skills to build success   Why opportunity is wide open for everyone   Why it’s so important to look at the actions that lead to results   How Olenka teaches teens success skills in entrepreneurship, leadership and personal development   Why parents must educate themselves on the world around their kids   Why it’s imperative that we stop preparing and start doing   And so much more…   Olenka’s Thoughts…   “If skills are learnable, then success is learnable, too.”   “Comfort and execution don’t live on the same block.”   “You always choose. You can look at any circumstance in your life and choose what it becomes. Is it going to become an excuse or an opportunity? Because you can’t have both at the same time.”   “We can only change the country by changing the next generation.”   “Stop preparing and start doing.”   “You have to practice the unsexy routine to get anywhere, but you have to give yourself small pieces of ‘candy’ along the way to remind yourself why you’re doing that.”   “Kids have no issues with having dreams. They only have issues finding pathways for those dreams.”   “The moment you stop looking at money as something to move you forward and start looking at it as something that creates love in your community, family and in the world around you, is when you’ll change your perspective.”   --   Olenka Cullinan is a CEO and Founder of Rising Tycoons, where she turns teens into mindful tycoons. Speaker and Success coach, Olenka has developed a “Backbone of Success”™ method that helps leaders become successful in life and the world. Olenka’s work with teenagers from 21 countries, combined with humor and personal experiences led to her recent appearances at TEDx (twice) and made her into one of the nation’s premier coaches. She has worked with startups, corporate leaders and some of the top youth organizations in the country: e.g. National Association of Secondary School Principals, National Association of Student Councils, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, TEDx, Job Corps, & Rotary Youth.
