Do you have trouble with sales and/or employee performance? How about meeting your quarterly and yearly business goals? For most entrepreneurs, the problem is less about what they’re doing, and more about how they are showing up.

In this episode of ‘Be the Wolf,’ you’ll discover exactly why authenticity is a major component of taking your business to the next level. And there’s science to back it up!

You can’t fake it till you make it when it comes to authenticity. With AI seeping into every aspect of our lives people have gotten very sensitive to what’s real and what’s not.

The problem is most people have no idea when they’re being inauthentic. Because they don’t truly understand what it means. In this episode, I share the truth about authenticity and how you can embody it all the time.

You’ll understand why it’s essential for improving sales, employee performance, hiring, and effective delegation.

I share how to use authenticity to overcome resistance, delegate tasks effectively, and stay focused on your goals. And you’ll learn how to leverage it to build a business you (and other people) LOVE.

CEO and owner of Luna Float Spa, Courtney (Ketu) Thomas, was in jail during his third incarceration when a spark of inspiration set him on a new path toward success.

That spark led Courtney to the next spark while watching Deepak Chopra on the Oprah Show.

Since then, his business success has been fueled by the cleansing of the body and mind. He has been able to align with the natural laws of the universe to achieve goals with minimal effort. You’ll learn how he has increased his efficiency, effectiveness, and productivity in business life. And discover how through personal growth and self-development, he has created effortless success

Every successful business owner has a unique path.

What works for them may not work for you. But sometimes learning how others did it will spark the idea that inspires your next step. And one right-for-you step after another is how you get your business to the next level.

When each step is inspired by a feeling of possibility it’s a sign you’re probably on the right path. (Even if it’s a little scary.)

I love having guests on my show because hearing another’s journey often sparks a flash of insight, inspiration, or spark that fuels your next right step.

Check out this episode of ‘Be the Wolf’ and let Courtney’s journey inspire your next step!

About Courtney (Ketu):

My name is Courtney, also known as Ketu, and I am a meditation teacher, holistic wellness advisor, and co-director of the Colorado Springs Transcendental Meditation Center. My journey from a former juvenile inmate to a meditation teacher is a testament to the transformative power of adversity and self-discovery.

As the owner of Luna Float Spa and Salt Cave in Colorado Springs, I have created a sanctuary that integrates ancient wisdom with modern wellness practices, offering personalized programs that address physical, mental, and spiritual health.

Through my work, I help individuals transcend stress, achieve mental clarity, and live purpose-driven lives.

My mission is to guide others on their hero’s journey, helping them uncover their inner peace and highest potential.

Ray Dalio says, “The quality of your life ultimately depends on the quality of your decisions.”

This also means that your business is a direct result of your decisions. So are you happy with how it’s going?

Or do you find that you have lots to complain and worry about? Things like your profits staying the same even though your revenue is going up and you’re working more than ever? Or maybe your revenue keeps going down even though you’re doing “all the right things.”

The thing is, until you figure out what the glitch is in your decision-making, those things you don’t like will continue to happen.

That’s why upgrading your decision-making mechanism is one of the fastest ways to upgrade your business.

In this episode, you’ll get a new take on decision-making and the critical impact it has on your life and your business.

You’ll learn what causes indecision and how to overcome it. As well as how to make pain-in-the-ass clients behave. You’ll discover what it takes to break the plateaus. And how your decisions can lead to actually having fun in your business.

I share personal stories and give you practical insights so you can show up with authenticity AND create success.

Do you have unconventional ideas for your business, but worry you won’t succeed by stepping outside the box?

You have to be brave and trust your gut in order to reach your business’s potential. But you can only do that if you’re willing to stand out. And that means embracing your authentic self and your inner weirdness … that’s where your best ideas come from. And it’s what makes you different from the competition.

You can’t be concerned about what other people think. In fact, that’s a kiss of death in business.

In this episode of ‘Be the Wolf,’ Genea talks with Dr. Anne Dranitsaris, about her unconventional journey. She went from hitchhiking across Europe to becoming a top psychotherapist, relationship and leadership coach, and author. Dr. Anne talks leaned into things that are a little more mainstream now but were considered VERY weird in the 70s and 80s. She shares how she sometimes had to package those ideas in more conventional wrappers to get people to take a bite.

This episode will take you down a path of being brave and trusting yourself in order to reach your business potential. You’ll also learn how mindfulness and managing stress will boost productivity. And how emotional intelligence can help entrepreneurs address common struggles like employee management and workplace dynamics. Tune in to get inspired by unconventional paths to business excellence and innovative strategies that go beyond traditional thinking.

Ever wonder why you lose motivation trying to reach your goals … and why when you do reach them, you feel unsatisfied?

Most entrepreneurs (and people) are chasing big dreams. But very few ever achieve them. And many of the ones who do, end up feeling unfulfilled and unsatisfied when they get there.

In this New Year’s episode of ‘Be the Wolf,’ Genea deep dives into why traditional goal setting will not get you the results you desire. And why your typical goals are not even achievable.

Plus you’ll get an easy tool to help keep you motivated and on task so that you can get everything you want out of your goals. Because you’ll never achieve your big dreams without meeting goals. And you’ll never meet your goals if you keep doing it the wrong way.

You’ll also hear stories of common pitfalls. You’ll learn how to break free from them and the pattern that keeps you forever chasing!

The truth is, you’ll never enjoy your achievements until you pay attention to the lessons in this episode and shift the way you set your goals. So let’s make a clear pathway to prosperity, joy, and fun in your business for this year and every year after!
