Show Notes
Sometimes a book changes your perspective on outward things, but once in a while, you run into a book that gives you permission to be yourself. For international ultrapreneur Deb Drummond, that book was “Living in the Light” by Shakti Gawain. For someone who often felt different, it was a book that shed light on who she is, while creating a deeper sense of self-trust. How did it give her direction and confidence as an entrepreneur? In today’s episode, Deb shares what the book did for her, and how it informed her take-big-swings approach to business. Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
Accepting the necessity of both feminine and masculine energy Masculine and feminine energy are different, but that doesn’t mean one or the other is inherently bad. There’s a tendency to be comfortable with one or the other instead of accepting that both are necessary.
What has changed for women in entrepreneurship The environment Deb entered years ago as a female entrepreneur was very different. Women had to fit in with the boys’ club to get noticed before they could break away and truly become who they are. Now there’s more room for female entrepreneurs to come in as who they truly are, and be who they want to be in the sandbox.
Why it’s unrealistic to believe that our ideas will stay the same As entrepreneurs, we’re usually defined by the POV we hold at a certain time. Deb learned that we can be equally okay with doing what we’re doing right now without holding so strong an allegiance to it that we can’t evolve.

More from One Book That Changed My Life
"Psycho-Cybernetics" is one of my personal favorite books, and when I first read it, the underlying idea hit me like a ton of bricks and made a huge impact on my mindset. What if we thought of our subconscious as our own success mechanism? For ghostwriter, book coach, and book editor Deborah Ager, this book came into her life at a time of great personal adversity, and it helped her take steps forward. In this episode, we talk about what we learned from the book and how we put its ideas into practice. Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode Why clarifying our ideas is so important You can have a really powerful idea and one that has a lot of potential, but if it’s buried within a book, even if it’s written very well, it can screw up that whole idea by making it confusing or diluting it.
“Traction” and its Entrepreneurial Operating System has had a huge impact on entrepreneurs of all types. Most of us are grappling with the question of turning our own unique way of solving problems into a system that has a strong selling proposition. In this episode, consultant and founding partner at Scalto, Gabriela Pulido shares how this book helped her set and reinforce a new strategic direction for her business.

From an author’s perspective, there’s no greater achievement than having your ideas become so deeply ingrained and absorbed that people unconsciously implement them. If there are two books that have rightfully earned that status, it would be “The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing” by Ries and Trout and “Crossing the Chasm” by Geoffrey Moore. These books have made a life changing impact on a marketer I really respect, Christopher Lochhead, so much so that he believes any card-carrying marketer can’t consider themselves one without reading them.
Daniel Mangena stumbled upon his own success code while trying not to fail at ending his own life, and he has Eckhart Tolle’s "The Power of Now" to thank for it. Dark, but within it, we can learn just how naturally powerful human beings are at changing our own internal programming. It doesn’t matter what we say we want, what matters is what we desire at our deepest unconscious level. What happens when what we want to achieve isn’t in alignment with that internal programming? How do we get our unconscious minds on the side of our desires?
We don’t get a lot of people on this show who come across a new book that massively impacted them right away, and changed how they’ll do business for the rest of their life. For best selling author, host of top 1% podcast How to Land a Job, and founder of Mastering College to Career, Daniel Botero, "$100M Offers" by Alex Hormozi shifted the marketing of his program, and quadrupled his sales.
