🔑Key Takeaways🔑

📝✨How to be a Master Communicator: Why everything starts within you, and how to reframe your inner dialogue, show up to the person not conversation topic, and engage through active listening, negotiation, and compassion.

💬💪The Antidote to Fear is Curiosity: Why fear only exists in future; not in the present.

"When the brain gets curious, it forgets to be afraid. And when the brain gets curious, it leans into something rather than away from it…. fear does not exist in the present."

❤️ 🚀 Awareness, Adventure and Alignment Drive Growth: Learn Martine's 3-pillar process, starting each day with a check-in: get curious about your thoughts, notice what's driving your actions, and make decisions that feel truly aligned with who you are.

🧠 💡 Success Blocks Are Layered and Unique: How women entrepreneurs often grapple with both the fear of failure and the fear of success, usually rooted in early conditioning or societal expectations.

Celi Arias is the CEO and Founder of The Grown Ass Business, where she guides entrepreneurs through her proprietary methodology, Key Growth Systems, to build strong business foundations. Recognized as a top coach by The Upside in 2024, Celi helps clients break free from revenue plateaus and burnout by focusing on core business principles over quick fixes. Her approach emphasizes clarity and control, optimizing essential business departments to ensure solid foundations for scaling up to seven figures and beyond. She's busy building software to scale her own business, now in beta at Get Scale.

🔑Key Takeaways🔑

🚀 🤝 Moving from the "Messy Middle": How to get past the "invisible ceiling" in your business and scale past the plateau. Often ambitious founders plateau because we're told to "lean into your strengths" and stay in our zone of genius. That works—until it doesn't. So many founders reach an invisible ceiling, and the tempting response is to just double down on what you're already good at. But doing more of what worked before isn't enough to create multi-seven-figure growth. Hint: the answer is never working harder, hiring more people like you, or doing more of what you're already doing.

🌱 🔄 GAB Method: Learn the Grown Ass Business method to overcome your blind spots. It's all about SHOWING (not just telling) you where you're missing the mark. By visualizing the six core "growth engines" of your business, she helps founders pinpoint the weak spots—be it sales projections, marketing effectiveness, or operational systems. This approach helps solopreneurs and early-stage teams work smarter, not just harder, as they scale.

📈 💰More is not a Number: Whether you're at six figures or scaling beyond, having clear sales projections, knowing your cycles and analyzing your financial data and other KPIs is foundational. "More" isn't a number you can measure!

🎯 🔥Focus on Profitable, Simple Offers: Service businesses often overwhelm themselves and their prospects with too many options. Get laser-focused—2-3 clear offers with intentional, strategic pricing can make all the difference.

💪⚡Build the Right Team (and Systems): Scaling isn't about hiring more people who are just like you. Fill the gaps in your business by mapping your blind spots and bringing in complementary skills, so all growth engines are aligned and working together.
