Episode Transcript:

What the world needs today is more champagne problems.

I was recently speaking with a client. This is a very successful entrepreneur who is nevertheless on the cusp of breaking through to a whole new level of growth. And so what she was experiencing was this kind of nagging lower level problem. And this was a problem that she’d been experiencing in an ongoing way for multiple months. And so we were talking and my instinct, the word that kept coming through for her was ‘better problems’.

We need to be talking about a higher level problem than the kind of lower level problem that you’re dealing with right now. We needed Champagne problems and she was dishing on beer problems.

So the point that I’m making here, is that when you are in a situation like she was, you’re at this level, level A, and you’re trying to make that leap to Level B. In order to make that transition, you are going to need to work through various obstacles or challenges and your ability to effectively navigate these challenges will become so much greater if you elevate yourself first. So in her case, what she needed to do was approach the problems that she was experiencing from the next level of leader that she needed to be. She needed to ascend, think differently, look at things on a much higher level. And in doing so it really allowed her to put her current problems in perspective and ultimately figure out how to deal with them faster, easier and more efficiently.

So, what I would encourage you to do if you are battling a consistent, niggling problem that you can’t seem to deal with in a permanent way, the challenge that I have for you is to elevate yourself to the next level, to approach the challenge from a higher level of thinking, from a higher level of being.

Really elevate yourself to think: ‘look if I have a one million dollar business and I want to be building my five million dollar business, I need to already have the mindset of a five million dollar business owner.’. And that’s the position from which I’m going to be taking a look at today’s problem.

And when you do that I guarantee what you will find is today’s one million dollar problem is actually that’s feels ginormous is actually much smaller and much easier to fix when you’re approaching it from that five million dollar place. And at that 5 million dollar place you actually have other sets of strategic challenges or as I like to call them champagne problems. So your job as a powerful woman on the rise as an entrepreneurial leader is to uncover for yourself and have a mission to continue uncovering better champagne problems.
