Episode Highlights
Who is Jeffrey Shaw? 

Jeffrey shares that as a child he was extremely withdrawn, that he was afraid because at that time the world seemed like “this big scary place”.
He pointed out that he was the youngest of three boys who were the classic masculine with a domineering father figure and expressed how different he was from them. 
He pointed out that while he had all those emotions, fears, and feeling misplaced, some part of him knew that he was “awesome”.   
He expresses that we as humans are far more complex than we give ourselves credit for, but limit ourselves because of circumstances.
He also shares that there is no division between our business experiences and life experiences; they overlap and they both make us who we are. 

 
What Is The Self-Employed Ecosystem?

Maintaining that balance between our personal lives, our inner and outer world. When people can do something with their lives they grow further. You already have everything you need inside yourself to be great. 
Largely, the self-employed ecosystem is about who we are and personal development.
There are three essential components to being successful from being self-employed:

Personal Development 
Business Strategies
Daily Habits and Mindsets 

What the self-employed ecosystem does is that it creates the environment to make your success almost inevitable, and puts everything in place. 
The goal is to control what you can and manage what you can. 

 
What Does A Growth Mindset Look Like? 

Jeffrey shares that from a personal development standpoint a growth mindset is all about unblocking, as we are trying to increase capacity.
When looking at the growth mindset daily habits perspective, they are less about unblocking and more about moving forward. 
Jeffrey points out that he teaches his clients how to properly set their intentions as most people have not been taught a system on how to set intentions in their life in a way that really works. 
He shares that he teaches intentions through a system called “From-To”, where you highlight where you wish to go from, to. This allows us to reduce vague intentions to have more clear set actionable intentions for ourselves.
