How many people can say they've never worked for anyone else? Selling eggs door-to-door at 14 years old began a lifetime of self-employment for speaker and small business consultant Jeffrey Shaw. Jeffrey helps self-employed and small business owners look through different lenses to build strategies and compose the often-chaotic pieces of life and business into sustainable success. Jeffrey grew up in a small, rural town in New York. Jeffrey's father worked for IBM, and his mother ran her own hair salon. While in high school, Jeffrey developed an interest in photography. He was introduced to it by his father, who had built a darkroom in their home. Jeffrey's talent as a photographer began to emerge, yet when he graduated from high school, he did not feel a sense of direction, so he took a gap year. The following year he decided to attend photography school. For four decades, Jeffrey has served generations of families in his highly successful portrait photography business. Then, he reached a point where he wanted to do something different. He had heard about the coaching profession, found it appealing, and enrolled in a training program to develop those skills. Since then, he has added speaker, author, and podcast host to his professional titles. He has retained a small number of photography clients as he holds a deep value for the relationships he has nurtured over the years. In 2021, Jeffrey created and launched the Self-Employed Business Institute to educate and support entrepreneurs in growing their businesses. His two books, The Self-Employed Life: Business and Personal Development Strategies That Create Sustainable Success and LINGO: Discover Your Ideal Customer's Secret Language and Make Your Business Irresistible have been smash successes. Jeffrey is currently working on his third book. Stay tuned! In this week's Work From The Inside Out podcast, learn more about Jeffrey's journey: Jeffrey is the host of the top-rated podcast, The Self-Employed Life. His TEDxLincolnSquare talk, The Validation Paradox: Finding Your Best Through Others, is featured on TED.com.   Learn more and connect with Jeffrey here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffreyshawauthor/ https://www.facebook.com/JeffreyShawAuthor https://twitter.com/jeffreyshaw1 www.jeffreyshaw.com

In recent years, self-employment has become something that interests many people across the globe. While it has a plethora of benefits, being self-employed comes with a set of unique challenges as well. Our guest today is someone who has made a remarkable career out of helping entrepreneurs and business owners navigate the world of self-employment. Jeffrey Shaw, business coach, speaker, and the author of ‘The Self-Employed Life: Business and Personal Development Strategies That Create Sustainable Success,' joins us today to take a deep dive into business and personal development strategies for entrepreneurs and small business owners.We start the conversation with some of the things that inspire and motivate Jeffrey and some of the learnings from his long career as a business coach. Getting into the concepts of self-employment, Jeff shares his thoughts on the reasons that motivate people to lean towards self-employment and a concept that he's included in his book; the self-employed ecosystem. Throughout the episode, we dive deep into each of the three key elements of the self-employed ecosystem.Diving into the first element of the ecosystem, we talk about how to overcome the fear of success, how we sometimes become an obstacle in our own path to success, and what we can do to overcome the limiting beliefs that hold us back. He further explains how setting intentions can become a powerful catalyst to success and some scientific research that demonstrated the power of intentions.Jeffrey's perspective on marketing is quite unique and fascinating. We talk about why some of the commonly used terms in marketing have a negative impact on our mindset and attitude towards our customers and why he prefers to use terms that resonate closely with the relationships we build with our customers. Wrapping up the episode, Jeffrey dives deep into some of the habits self-employed people should implement in their lives that will lead them to success.Resources:Connect with JeffreyWebsite: jeffreyshaw.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jeffreyshawauthorTwitter: @jeffreyshaw1Jeffrey's BookThe Self-Employed Life: Business and Personal Development Strategies That Create Sustainable Successgoodreads.com/en/book/show/57405745-the-self-employed-lifeMentioned in the EpisodeExistential Kink: Unmask Your Shadow and Embrace Your Power by Carolyn Elliottgoodreads.com/en/book/show/50915816-existential-kink

Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of being overlooked? Situations can arise that make people feel invisible or inadequate. Afterwards, it's possible to feel drained or replay everything that's wrong when endlessly thinking of that cycle. Have you ever thought being overlooked could be a blessing in disguise? Now is a good moment for a Wise Walk. On the True Stride podcast, we take a Wise Walk to slow down and check our reality. True Stride is that feeling you get when you're aligned in your heart with all that you do, and you feel energized and happy with each and every step that you take. I'm your host, Mary Tess Rooney, and I connect with Jeffrey Shaw to go on our Wise Walk for this guest episode. Jeffrey Shaw contributes to the world as a photographer, author, and speaker. He uses his experiences of business, branding, and marketing to advocate for self-employed business owners, small business owners, and progressive-minded companies. Jeff is host of the Self-Employed Life podcast, along with being the author of LINGO: Discover Your Ideal Customer's Secret Language and Make Your Business Irresistible and The Self-Employed Life: Business and Personal Development Strategies That Create Sustainable Success. Listen to Jeff speak about feeling overlooked, effort and surrender, internal capacity development, and alignment. On our Wise Walk, Jeff and I share our thoughts on these questions and more: Where is a moment you felt overlooked, but it ended up being a blessing? What was the next series of choices once realizing you're not aligned with people or a situation? How do we evolve between being overlooked and being visible? What are the key messages of a self-employed life? Inside the moments of feeling overlooked or unseen, there is a chance to look internally at ourselves to notice something that might be not aligned or misguided. Where in our life do we feel overlooked or invisible? Can we figure out if overlook is from lack of effort or lack of surrender? What choices become available to help us take one action in our True Stride? Take a Wise Walk to uncover a new sense of freedom. Within that freedom is the opportunity to voice our value and a path to connect with an inspiring community. From there, we can explore what it looks like to move forward in our journey.   In this episode: [00:23] - Welcome to the show! [01:24] - Jeffrey Shaw and I talk about the paradox of being overlooked leading to being visible, and similar scenarios, like the pandemic. [03:35] - Who is Jeffrey Shaw? Listen to Jeffrey talk about advocating for self-employment and explaining how his story supports his passion. [05:41] - Where is a moment that Jeff felt overlooked, but the situation ended up being a blessing? Jeff speaks about being in alignment externally. [08:07] - When our life is missing alignment externally, we absorb the undesired side effects of disconnection. [09:46] - Jeff suggests an approach of action after realizing life lacks alignment externally. He gives an analogy between business and life about forcefulness versus mindfulness. [11:28] - Looking back, Jeffrey says the delays of giving his first TED Talk were actually helpful for when the opportunity arrived. [12:59] - Jeffrey touches on the balance of effort and surrender that he believes brings things into his life at the right timing. [15:59] - Overlook can come in many forms. I describe how the theme of “overlooked” gives clarity around effort and surrender. [17:29] - Sometimes surrender comes a little later than it should have, and it usually comes by force or without choice. [19:09] - Instead of forcibly holding onto what isn't working, heed and recognize the feelings that come up. [21:32] - In the times of feeling overlooked, there's a chance to be seen on a level past our understanding. [23:28] - Being overseen can be an emotional trigger, and there's usually a reason for the trigger. Jeffrey encourages everyone to give themselves grace. [25:45] - Jeffrey says being overlooked can also be a sign that something within ourselves needs to shift or change.  [28:15] - Reclaiming individual power opens the opportunity to be visible.  [29:52] - Jeff explains why life in self-employment and personal development is backward.  [32:17] - I turn the tables on Jeff and go through his podcast questions in the S.E.L.F. acronym. [35:23] - Jeff and I complete questions to the S.E.L.F. acronym. [36:40] - Thank you for listening!   Memorable Quotes: “The gift of being overlooked comes because we're trying to make something work that isn't meant to work.” - Jeffrey “When you're not aligned with someone — whether that's a relationship, or a business transaction, or a partnership — there's that disconnect, and you can feel invisible or unseen. Then, that discomfort or that un-alignment, it forces you to take responsibility for yourself, and say: ‘Okay, this is not working. What's a different choice I can make?'” - Mary Tess “We so often live our lives trying to fit what we want into it, instead of stepping back and deciding ‘what's meant for me'.” - Jeffrey “The one voice you can always overlook consistently is ‘self-doubt' because you have everything that you need within you.” - Mary Tess   Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram   Jeffrey Shaw Email The Self-Employed Life podcast Instagram | Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | YouTube

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Jeffrey Shaw the author of a new book entitled "The Self-Employed Life: Business and Personal Development Strategies That Create Sustainable Success."  During our podcast interview, we discuss the characteristics that are required to become successful as a self-employed entrepreneur, and the grit and determination required to maintain your success. Jeffrey introduces the reader to what he terms as "The Self-Employed Ecosystem" which is about creating the most effective environment for your success. In life and business the best you can do is to set up the perfect circumstances for what you want, then let it all happen. "It's a blend between controlling and allow. Success is certainly not built entirely on manifestation and wishing upon a star, but neither is it built entirely on hard work and pushing" states Jeffrey.

Being self-employed can provide a lot of freedom as well as unlimited earning potential. But working for yourself does require an increased capacity to accomplish more success. Just because you hang a shingle doesn't mean you'll make money in your own business. On Amplify Your Success Podcast episode 236, my guest Jeffrey Shaw, author of The Self-Employed Life: A 3 Part Ecosystem for Long-Term Success, shares what is missing for most entrepreneurs that keeps them struggling and overwhelmed with little results to show for all their efforts. Be sure to join the conversation in the Amplify Your Authority Group.   Key Takeaways Why limited thinking is a significant problem for self-employed entrepreneurs. Jeffrey addresses why you can't put strategy BEFORE personal development and succeed long-term. The importance of daily habits to move the most important business growth tasks to completion.

When you are self-employed, so much of your business and professional life seem to become intertwined. While many experts offer business advice or self-help, there is very little guidance out there on how to integrate these aspects, and other parts of your life, into a life that you love.

He explains that, in business, the only thing you can control is the environment that you set up for the results that you want. He offers a lot of practical advice that integrates business and marketing strategies, with spirituality, gratitude, and personal development. Tuning in, you’ll hear about the self-employed ecosystem, the importance of trusting in something bigger than yourself in business, and the concept of hug marketing.
