Laura Nicole (00:00):
Welcome to part two of our interview with our
resident superstar assistantacademy mindset master, one of
my very best friends and also myone-on-one mindset and growth
mentor.
If you're just popping in andyou have not yet listened to
part one of my conversation withJess, I encourage you to drop
back to episode 17 and listen tothat one first so that you are
(00:24):
caught up on the conversation.
And if you're coming directlyfrom episode 17, welcome, we are
happy to have you and I amgoing to get us back into our
combo so that y'all can learnabout how to implement the
ladder of believability.
Welcome to your VirtualAssistant Coach, the podcast for
moms who want to make moneyfrom home on their own terms.
(00:44):
I'm your host, laura Nicole, asuccessful six-figure earning VA
and coach who replaced mycollege professor salary in just
five months back in 2020 aftermy daughter was born, and I have
never looked back.
I'm here to help you build aprofitable, flexible VA business
that fits into your family'slives, so you no longer feel
like you're living just to work.
(01:06):
Let's dive in.
I know well, I don't know.
I'm assuming there are probablya lot of women listening to this
who might have the same kind ofapproach to all of this
building belief stuff that I do,where it's like yeah, that all
sounds great, but like how do Ido it?
(01:27):
Right, and you've already givenus some tangible things of being
curious about why are youfeeling that way, or you know,
being aware of your language.
But one thing I've heard youshare before.
I believe you did in ourbuilding belief workshop the
first time.
That's inside of the program,but I would love if you could
share for our listeners to yourkind of theory of like building
the ladder of believability,because I know that that
(01:50):
resonated with so many women wholistened to that workshop and
felt like a very tangible way todo and kind of step into this
building belief in ourselves.
That feels like very big andvery lofty and like almost feels
impossible.
Right, and they're like I justdon't even know how to start.
Like how do I even take a firststep toward believing in myself
(02:12):
?
Because this is how my brainswork my whole life and that
ladder of believability kind ofbroke it down in a very
actionable way.
Jess (02:20):
So this is what I mean.
We have all heard ofaffirmations, right, we've all
heard, you know, speakaffirmations, say affirmations,
and people are like that shitdoesn't work.
I have said it a million timesand while I wholeheartedly
believe in affirmations, Iactually talk about them.
People don't use them in thecorrect way.
People think, okay, I'm justgoing to say this all of the
time and then I'm going tobelieve it, but that is not how
(02:41):
our brain works.
It is helpful to useaffirmations.
I think of affirmations as asupplement.
Say, you were going to start tolose weight and somebody said,
if you take this supplement,it's going to help, you know,
aid you in your weight loss.
You don't take this supplementto lose the actual weight.
You do the work and you takethe supplement to aid in that
process.
It's just supplementation.
(03:05):
So are affirmations.
Affirmations are there to helpyou repetitively think, and when
we repetitively think, wesolidify a belief over and over
again.
But we have to actually givesome evidence to our brain in
order to start that process.
So we're not going from zerobelief to holy shit, I'm the
hottest bitch in the room, I cando anything.
That's not a realistic goal andI would never tell.
I'm still, you know, 11 yearsin and I'm still building belief
(03:26):
in myself.
Am I miles and miles and milesand centuries away from where I
started?
Absolutely Anybody that knowsme is like I don't even can't
even recognize you yet.
I still have so much more to go.
But it's a process andunderstanding that it's a
process is the greatest giftthat you're going to give
yourself on that journey tobelief and confidence and
(03:46):
understanding that it's notalways going to be there.
The belief is not always goingto be present every single day,
24-7.
It's just going to be somethingthat you can obtain easier and
have a underlying root of beliefin yourself and so, in a ladder
of believability, it's justcreating micro wins.
It's seeing throughout your daylike what have you done?
(04:09):
What have you accomplished?
Something that my therapisttaught me a long time ago was
like you know, you have survived100% of your hardest days and
when we can look at that, that'sevidence that we can do shit.
Right, if you can do somethinghave a hard conversation with
one of your children, that is.
That's incredibly difficult,right?
If you can do that, boom,you've just built a little bit
(04:31):
of belief.
So something that you can doand Laura has actually shown me
what she does, or what she namesit.
I call it just like a journal ofyour wins, like just
documenting wins in every singleday.
And Laura has shown me hers onher phone in her notes section
with this so perfect.
It says of course she did, andthen listing all of the things
that you've done.
And so when it comes especiallyto building a business online
(04:54):
and especially in VA work, youwant to document every single
win.
You do that day.
If you reach out to somebody,if you stayed in a conversation
even though it feltuncomfortable, when you replied
to a DM, when you didn't waithours to open it because you
were too afraid of what it wasgoing to say, or too afraid of
what you were going to say, orwhen you sent a message and
(05:16):
didn't delete it or resay it youknow a bunch of times or
overthink it.
Those are all incredible winsthat you can bank every single
day and pour into your beliefchart.
That's where you have to start.
You have to start by the littlewins and stacking them, just
like you've stacked all of yourfailures and your mistakes over
all of the years that you'vebeen alive.
Now we need to do like reversepsychology and stack only the
(05:39):
wins and focus on those andunderstand that the more we do
that, the greater that we startto believe in ourselves.
And it's not some shift thatyou're going to see overnight,
it's not just the oh my God,today I believe in myself.
You're going to see it when youtake action where you used to
hesitate before, and then thatbecomes an even bigger win.
Then that goes into, you know,your winning journal your of
(06:00):
course she did journal, whereyou're like oh my God, I used to
, you know, think so long onthis, or I couldn't even do this
before and like look at mebeing able to show up a real
life scenario for myself on whenI realized I built belief.
I have been speaking on callsfor five years, but my very
first one I like wanted to throwup.
And then my second one that Iwas asked to, like sweaty palms,
(06:23):
like I want to puke.
This doesn't feel good.
Why am I doing this?
Although I loved doing it, itwas getting to that point and I
did.
I never backed out, I alwaysdid it.
And then one time I was justlike I don't even get scared or
nervous anymore because I'velearned as a public speaker.
My greatest fear is that I'mgoing to say the wrong thing or
my brain is going to go blank,and then I'm not going to know
(06:43):
where to go from there and Ifound myself saying no, but you
always catch yourself.
You're so good in that timebecause you always just think of
another thing to say and Iremember thinking so this is
what positive self-talk lookslike.
Oh my gosh, this is.
I actually believe in myself.
Is this what's really happeninghere?
And I had been using thatwithout realizing that.
(07:04):
I was using that because I wasjust banking that win on.
Every time I get on a call, Ideliver.
Every time I get on a call,that those, those, that feeling
in my stomach goes away.
Every time I get on a call, Ido show up and I can.
And I was banking that over andover again, improving to myself
.
So it's not about being able tolook at yourself in the mirror
tomorrow and know that you arejust the most incredible human
(07:27):
being in the world, which youare, but you're not going to get
there for a very long time.
It's just saying at the end ofthe night, when you're washing
your face and you're staring atyourself back in the mirror like
I did good today.
I did some good things todayand I actually have evidence.
Let me pull this out and readit before I go to bed and
understand that I did do goodthings today and I overcame a
(07:47):
lot.
And the more you do that, themore of that belief is just
going to build in you.
Laura Nicole (07:51):
Yeah, and I think it's so smart to write them down
because they're so easy, likein the moment right, Like you
might feel proud for a second,but it's also very easy to
forget.
It's very easy to forget aboutthe win and forget about, you
know, feeling proud of yourselfin that moment.
But if you take the second togo jot it down, there's times
(08:13):
that I go to add something tothis list and I'm like whoa,
there's a lot of stuff on thislist.
You know what I mean.
But if I didn't have themwritten down, it'd be so easy to
forget all of these things thathad happened prior.
But then it's like that visualreminder.
Jess (08:28):
It's not even just so much forgetting, it's almost a block
, right, because we're sotrained to see the opposite that
we literally can't even seewhat's in front of us.
And so if you're not writing itdown and making a conscious
effort to see it on paper andthere's something to be said
about, like typing the words orwriting the words that as
because you read them, as youwrite them right, and you're
(08:51):
solidifying it, because you'refocused on what you're writing
and your brain can only focus onthat, and so it's like you,
finally, are giving thatattention that's owed to that
thing of like this is what I didgood today.
And so you're like, oh wait,holy shit, I did like.
That was.
You know, I did overcomesomething here, because our
brain just naturally, in theworld that we live in and this
(09:12):
isn't just, you know, specificto you and I think that that's
the biggest thing for people tounderstand that nobody is really
out here just starting withbelief, right, they pretty much
all started with zero and theyhad to learn how to believe in
themselves at some point intheir life, and so this isn't
just tailored specifically toyou.
You're not alone on this Islandof like.
Why can't I just believe inmyself, understand that I've
(09:34):
talked to hundreds and hundredsof women and this is a huge
thing for every single woman.
And so just retraining yourbrain and this is how you do it
by seeing the words, by writingthem, by reading them, and don't
just stop at writing them.
Put a alarm in your phone thatsays like an hour before bedtime
where you have to read itbefore you go to bed.
And that is the most potentenergy right before bed, that
(09:57):
like of seeping into yoursubconscious, because you're on
that barrier of consciousnessand subconscious and
unconsciousness of going tosleep, and so like the you know
veil for lack of better term isreally thin of just like being
that switching mode.
And where do we want to imprintthis stuff?
In our subconscious, becausethat's where our beliefs live
and so the closer we can get tothat.
(10:17):
That's why bedtime is is key tothinking those thoughts.
So if you read them, then youcan lay down, close your eyes,
think of all of those things youjust read and then fall asleep,
and that's going to help theprocess go quicker, especially
in your subconscious.
Laura Nicole (10:31):
I love that.
I love it.
It's all so good.
It's just all so good, it's sogood.
Thank you so much.
There's so many more things.
I feel like you and I could sithere and talk for like
literally hours on end about allof this stuff, but we have a
lot of busy mamas listening, sothere's so much goodness in here
that they can take away so manyactionable things.
(10:52):

It's very easy to forget aboutthe win and forget about, you
know, feeling proud of yourselfin that moment.
But if you take the second togo jot it down, there's times
(08:13):
that I go to add something tothis list and I'm like whoa,
there's a lot of stuff on thislist.
You know what I mean.
But if I didn't have themwritten down, it'd be so easy to
forget all of these things thathad happened prior.
But then it's like that visualreminder.
Jess (08:28):
It's not even just so much forgetting, it's almost a block
, right, because we're sotrained to see the opposite that
we literally can't even seewhat's in front of us.
And so if you're not writing itdown and making a conscious
effort to see it on paper andthere's something to be said
about, like typing the words orwriting the words that as
because you read them, as youwrite them right, and you're
(08:51):
solidifying it, because you'refocused on what you're writing
and your brain can only focus onthat, and so it's like you,
finally, are giving thatattention that's owed to that
thing of like this is what I didgood today.
And so you're like, oh wait,holy shit, I did like.
That was.
You know, I did overcomesomething here, because our
brain just naturally, in theworld that we live in and this
(09:12):
isn't just, you know, specificto you and I think that that's
the biggest thing for people tounderstand that nobody is really
out here just starting withbelief, right, they pretty much
all started with zero and theyhad to learn how to believe in
themselves at some point intheir life, and so this isn't
just tailored specifically toyou.
You're not alone on this Islandof like.
Why can't I just believe inmyself, understand that I've
(09:34):
talked to hundreds and hundredsof women and this is a huge
thing for every single woman.
And so just retraining yourbrain and this is how you do it
by seeing the words, by writingthem, by reading them, and don't
just stop at writing them.
Put a alarm in your phone thatsays like an hour before bedtime
where you have to read itbefore you go to bed.
And that is the most potentenergy right before bed, that
(09:57):
like of seeping into yoursubconscious, because you're on
that barrier of consciousnessand subconscious and
unconsciousness of going tosleep, and so like the you know
veil for lack of better term isreally thin of just like being
that switching mode.
And where do we want to imprintthis stuff?
In our subconscious, becausethat's where our beliefs live
and so the closer we can get tothat.
(10:17):
That's why bedtime is is key tothinking those thoughts.
So if you read them, then youcan lay down, close your eyes,
think of all of those things youjust read and then fall asleep,
and that's going to help theprocess go quicker, especially
in your subconscious.
Laura Nicole (10:31):
