Episode 123: Lead To Greatness With Genecia Alluora
Hello, Hello, and welcome to today's episode. I've completed an interview with the Lead to Greatness podcast and with this host, Cedric Francis. I loved this episode so much and I would love to share this interview with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Turn your mess into your message.
(9:45-10:14) I think it's all about not being a victim of my circumstances, my mental, social, emotional circumstances. My mum encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and go towards the dreams I've always wanted to achieve because the sky is the limit and there's no storm that we cannot conquer. My mom keeps reminding me that adversity is just a past, something that doesn't hold us ransom. I applied this tremendously in my life, and I believe that our past does not equal our future.
What drives Genecia to empower women to go after what they want and their biggest dream?
(11:12-12:03) The three things would be I wanted to create a legacy and help women to have this A, B and C. Of course, A being awareness, having the awareness that they can have the F-Word, that it is possible for them, and B have the belief that they can have the courage to fly to wherever they want to go, C having the consistency to pursue and hammer at the constant goal that they want to go for. So the ABC is going to, even though it looks so simple, it's not
Complicated. It's very easy. You just need to focus on ABC and help them have the awareness, allowing me to connect with them.
How has failure shaped her entrepreneurship journey?
(14:53-14:57) Failure has given me perspective. I think it's not just failure. These are just lessons.
(15:20-16:10) I had joined a partnership with my friends. And that was one of the reasons I went into the six-figure debt. They left me hanging we started a business together. There was no contract. There was nothing black and white. And it was just, okay, we are friends. So let's do something together and we join forces and we do a dating agency of sorts. But it didn't work out. And because I was a major shareholder, nothing was done. I lost a major amount of money. Right? And that left a scar in me. So typically, if I had not taken failure positively as a lesson learned, like, don't do business with friends? Because first and foremost, let me put it into context for you. It's about the value of money.
(18:11-18:18) So where do you stand in terms of your failure? How do you view it? How will you turn it around for yourself? Remember my mother said, turn your mess into a message.
How did she build one of the leading women support groups in Southeast Asia?
(20:43-21:10) Have an open heart. Think of yourself as a big tree. I think that's one you must be willing to give. I think to have a sustainable business model and help others in a way that allows them to take on the opportunity as well. So we run on a subscription-based business model.
(21:35-22:06) So we always allow the women to ease into growth, whether it's an entrepreneurship journey or to acquire whichever effort their dream allows them to. So from $12, we move up to the next and then we move up to the different mentoring programs and stuff like that. So that progression is something that allows women to dip their fingers and toes into something that they want to do. And that's how we grow the network.
How did she successfully manage a fully digital company, working with remote employees from different parts of the world?
(22:56-23:56) I think first and foremost, you must have a project management tool. I use Asana. I do that, A-S-A-N-A, Asana. And then I use Skype for daily communications. And last but not least, we have a common place like Google and Dropbox, Google Drive and Dropbox to share files and things like that. I think that allows me to work with remote employees. I think there are three things I learned. I was never being able to let go of the task that I was doing work that was doing. I find that I became the bottleneck in my business. But if I were to grow a business scale business, I think the growth strategy is to learn how to delegate.
How to delegate?
(26:18-27:12) The mindset shift was to sit down and be diligently writing out the task of all the things that I want that I'm doing right now that I could potentially outsource and get someone else to do it. So that sitting my ass down was one of the hardest parts because you are doing it day in, day out. It's so simple and so straightforward for you. So it's so easy and has so much flow. But to sit down and list it out logically with clarity. It's something that requires a lot of effort and discipline and to tell yourself that if you write it down, then you can hand it over. When you write it down, then you can delegate. And that's how I come up with this workbook to teach people how to delegate 80% of their Todo list so that they can make money online.
Final Thoughts
(28:42-29:02) Step out of their comfort zone, quit thinking and start doing because what is life truly mean to you? Is it fear or is it the fabulous, the freedom, the financial independence and the happy family? Really? the sky is the limit and there's no storm you cannot conquer.
(29:27-29:35) Don't lose sight of your goals. Sometimes the shit hits the fence, pick yourself up and keep going forward.
