Shine at Any Age with Lucie Rosa-Stagi

Hello everybody and welcome back to the show.

2

00:00:05,217 --> 00:00:07,799

This is the Collaborators Unite podcast.

3

00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:09,590

Chuck Anderson here as your host.

4

00:00:09,590 --> 00:00:13,892

This is the show where we serve what we call our big impact experts.

5

00:00:13,892 --> 00:00:24,318

That means coaches, consultants, service providers who wanna make a big positive impact in

the lives of their clients and their communities and the world.

6

00:00:24,318 --> 00:00:30,836

And today's guest is someone who also works with big impact experts and helps them with

their impact.

7

00:00:30,836 --> 00:00:35,261

So Lucy Rosa Stagy.

8

00:00:35,261 --> 00:00:35,811

Thank you.

9

00:00:35,811 --> 00:00:41,597

uh You know, I try my best, but you know, it's good to be corrected.

10

00:00:41,597 --> 00:00:43,139

And now I'll never make that mistake again.

11

00:00:43,139 --> 00:00:46,478

uh Lucy, welcome to the show.

12

00:00:46,478 --> 00:00:49,346

Thank you, thank you so very much for having me, Chuck.

13

00:00:49,346 --> 00:00:58,576

And in fact, now that I've now that I butchered your last name, go ahead and introduce

yourself and tell everybody a little bit more about you and the work that you do to help

14

00:00:58,657 --> 00:01:00,430

coaches make a bigger impact.

15

00:01:00,430 --> 00:01:10,290

Well, you know, for one thing, I just want to say that I started my online business later

in life than most people.

16

00:01:10,330 --> 00:01:15,950

And it's because at 70, I end up this was 10 years ago, I just turned 80.

17

00:01:15,950 --> 00:01:23,150

And then, you know, so for me, at 70, I thought, Oh my God, my dreams have just gone down

the drain.

18

00:01:23,150 --> 00:01:24,030

What am I to do?

19

00:01:24,030 --> 00:01:25,730

I felt sorry for myself.

20

00:01:25,730 --> 00:01:28,934

My 10 year relationship ended and I thought, Oh,

21

00:01:28,962 --> 00:01:33,025

And so I wallowed in sorrow and then realized nobody was coming to save me.

22

00:01:33,025 --> 00:01:36,948

And so that's when I decided that I was going to start an online business.

23

00:01:36,948 --> 00:01:39,169

Well, I knew how to copy and paste.

24

00:01:40,350 --> 00:01:43,247

So I had a lot of learning to do, but you know, that didn't stop me.

25

00:01:43,247 --> 00:01:46,434

And I just figured that I would learn one step at a time.

26

00:01:46,735 --> 00:01:51,818

so, you know, and along the way, everybody was telling me, take one step at a time.

27

00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:54,281

you know, so that's how I got through.

28

00:01:54,281 --> 00:01:55,942

And today I have...

29

00:01:55,942 --> 00:01:56,562

uh

30

00:01:56,562 --> 00:01:58,223

an online business.

31

00:01:58,223 --> 00:02:02,084

have a team and we are Launch Lab Academy.

32

00:02:02,084 --> 00:02:10,906

And basically uh we started with Tony Robbins and Dean Grassiose when they started their

new legacy in 2019.

33

00:02:10,906 --> 00:02:16,087

It um was called Self-Education is the New Norm.

34

00:02:16,367 --> 00:02:21,439

And so their thought was, yes, people want information, but they want more than

information.

35

00:02:21,439 --> 00:02:23,629

They want some expertise.

36

00:02:23,629 --> 00:02:26,318

And so they started a program where

37

00:02:26,318 --> 00:02:31,618

people who had knowledge and expertise could have this program and start an online

business.

38

00:02:31,618 --> 00:02:41,398

You could be a coach, you could be a course creator, you could have a mastermind, you

could just be a podcast, you could be anything you want, just take your knowledge and put

39

00:02:41,398 --> 00:02:42,038

it out there.

40

00:02:42,038 --> 00:02:44,598

And they had this vehicle to do that.

41

00:02:44,598 --> 00:02:55,278

And so we were very instrumental in helping them succeed because what we saw as, I was an

affiliate of Tony's and I've

42

00:02:55,278 --> 00:03:00,818

hooked up with three of his moderators because we saw people falling through the cracks

who needed help.

43

00:03:00,818 --> 00:03:06,738

And so we started our business modeling Tonys and Deans and we're successful.

44

00:03:06,738 --> 00:03:11,918

In fact, we got the 2024 Global Award for helping people in our niche.

45

00:03:11,998 --> 00:03:14,578

And so now we're pivoting.

46

00:03:14,578 --> 00:03:24,738

And one of the things I have done all through these years was interview people because it

was always part of getting people in front of the camera.

47

00:03:25,534 --> 00:03:37,008

which is a biggie for so many people, but it's so necessary for your branding because

people want to know who you are, what you do, and they want to know you and like you

48

00:03:37,008 --> 00:03:39,370

before they ever buy from you.

49

00:03:39,618 --> 00:03:44,100

You know, it's so important if you want to make a big impact in people's lives, you have

to be visible.

50

00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:46,060

You have to be willing to put yourself out there.

51

00:03:46,060 --> 00:03:48,181

ah So I love that.

52

00:03:48,181 --> 00:03:53,103

Let's talk a little bit about the types of the types of people that you're working with.

53

00:03:53,103 --> 00:03:54,263

Who's coming into your world?

54

00:03:54,263 --> 00:03:55,263

Who are you attracting?

55

00:03:55,263 --> 00:04:00,725

What are you hearing from them in terms of the struggle or, or their goals or what their

needs are?

56

00:04:00,725 --> 00:04:01,986

What are you hearing from them?

57

00:04:01,986 --> 00:04:12,392

Well, for the first, for the past four or five years, we have been working with

individual, mostly women, women over 40, 50 and 60, who are tired of being in the

58

00:04:12,392 --> 00:04:18,625

corporate world, not getting anywhere, tired of what they're doing, they're not loving,

and they have passion.

59

00:04:18,625 --> 00:04:23,578

you know, they feel like they have a message to give people.

60

00:04:23,578 --> 00:04:30,402

And so helping them start an online business, you know, using their knowledge and their

expertise.

61

00:04:30,402 --> 00:04:32,243

They just needed the steps.

62

00:04:32,243 --> 00:04:33,523

How do I do this?

63

00:04:33,523 --> 00:04:38,966

And so we provided, you know, the framework for them and help them scale the business.

64

00:04:38,966 --> 00:04:41,497

And along the way they need to brand themselves.

65

00:04:41,497 --> 00:04:43,248

And we showed them how to do that.

66

00:04:43,248 --> 00:04:49,590

Now we're pivoting because of the AI all set in the last two years.

67

00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:56,313

It's obvious that if you're not going to use AI tools in the next two years, you're going

to be out of business.

68

00:04:56,313 --> 00:04:58,574

So my team has uh

69

00:04:58,574 --> 00:05:03,454

hooked up with Tony Robbins, AI guy, who started a consulting business.

70

00:05:03,454 --> 00:05:15,354

And now we are consulting with small businesses and medium businesses who, because they're

so overwhelmed, only 2 % of businesses are using AI tools because of the overwhelm.

71

00:05:15,354 --> 00:05:19,614

So the consulting of this is extremely important.

72

00:05:19,614 --> 00:05:27,794

So we help to assess their business, see where they are today, where they want to go, what

tools they need, and how to implement these tools.

73

00:05:27,808 --> 00:05:29,560

And so that's where we are today.

74

00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:37,167

Meanwhile, I keep doing my podcasting because I believe that people always need to be in

front of the camera.

75

00:05:37,167 --> 00:05:41,251

And one of things that I can do is give them the stage to do that.

76

00:05:41,251 --> 00:05:44,153

And I like podcasting because I can do it once a week.

77

00:05:44,153 --> 00:05:45,974

I don't have to be there every day.

78

00:05:46,535 --> 00:05:49,888

You know, and so, you know, that's.

79

00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:51,662

Yeah, I

80

00:05:51,662 --> 00:05:52,502

I agree.

81

00:05:52,502 --> 00:05:54,982

Podcasting is actually one of my favorite things to do.

82

00:05:54,982 --> 00:06:04,522

And at first started off as one day a week and then we loved it so much and it was been so

effective for us that we're now doing it three to five times a week.

83

00:06:04,522 --> 00:06:05,322

Wow.

84

00:06:05,322 --> 00:06:07,442

And yeah, it's been a big game changer.

85

00:06:07,442 --> 00:06:13,662

So, you know, if you're going to be in business, you definitely have to be visible and a

podcast is a great way to do that.

86

00:06:13,662 --> 00:06:19,642

So I want so thank you for sharing the, know, who you're working with and how you help

them.

87

00:06:19,642 --> 00:06:21,378

I wanted to ask you.

88

00:06:21,378 --> 00:06:32,091

because about mistakes that you notice that they are making that are perhaps making their

journey to make an impact more difficult than perhaps it needs to be.

89

00:06:32,091 --> 00:06:33,793

What are you, what are you noticing?

90

00:06:33,793 --> 00:06:38,122

And we want to kind of alert people to avoid those mistakes.

91

00:06:38,122 --> 00:06:42,084

I think um what comes to my mind is limiting beliefs.

92

00:06:42,084 --> 00:06:43,644

We all have them.

93

00:06:43,864 --> 00:06:44,905

I can't do this.

94

00:06:44,905 --> 00:06:46,045

I'm an imposter.

95

00:06:46,045 --> 00:06:48,086

Yeah, this imposter syndrome.

96

00:06:48,086 --> 00:06:50,147

Who the hell do I think I am?

97

00:06:50,147 --> 00:06:51,517

Why should people listen to me?

98

00:06:51,517 --> 00:06:52,828

That kind of thing.

99

00:06:52,828 --> 00:06:56,279

You know, what I've learned is everybody is unique.

100

00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:07,924

Everybody has a message and there is one person, even even if there's one person whose

life you can impact, then you have done a mass contribution to the world.

101

00:07:08,066 --> 00:07:12,911

you know, because it starts with the one, because you know if there's one, there's going

to be many others.

102

00:07:12,911 --> 00:07:17,495

And you're not going to resonate with everybody, but you will resonate with some.

103

00:07:17,495 --> 00:07:20,518

So it is important for you to get your message out there.

104

00:07:20,518 --> 00:07:22,010

Stop thinking about yourself.

105

00:07:22,010 --> 00:07:29,066

Think about who you can impact, what you can do for others, and what they can do for you.

106

00:07:30,102 --> 00:07:34,264

You know, that is uh that's really huge what you just mentioned.

107

00:07:34,264 --> 00:07:38,547

uh And we see it all the time, especially at networking events.

108

00:07:38,547 --> 00:07:41,948

know, in this, I keep calling it the post pandemic world.

109

00:07:41,948 --> 00:07:46,621

But in the world we live in today, there's a lot of virtual networking events.

110

00:07:46,621 --> 00:07:54,525

And you see they get the opportunity to either share in small groups or sometimes they

have a share uh opportunity to share in front of everybody.

111

00:07:54,525 --> 00:07:56,716

And it's so true.

112

00:07:56,716 --> 00:07:59,926

It's the most common

113

00:07:59,926 --> 00:08:06,031

way uh to pitch yourself is what am I looking for?

114

00:08:06,031 --> 00:08:09,234

And come be my client, in other words.

115

00:08:09,234 --> 00:08:13,737

And you hear this all the time, and it's so self-serving.

116

00:08:13,798 --> 00:08:20,763

Being an affiliate marketing guy, we get in a lot of groups, and I hear people say, I just

need one more affiliate to just help me.

117

00:08:20,763 --> 00:08:24,376

uh Yes, exactly.

118

00:08:24,376 --> 00:08:26,428

Or fill my event or whatever it is.

119

00:08:26,428 --> 00:08:27,609

And I'm like, no.

120

00:08:27,609 --> 00:08:28,674

uh

121

00:08:28,674 --> 00:08:31,035

What can you do to serve them?

122

00:08:31,035 --> 00:08:33,496

How can I help you?

123

00:08:33,496 --> 00:08:36,817

How can I make your life get better?

124

00:08:36,817 --> 00:08:41,809

30 years ago, when I first started my entrepreneurial journey, I was one of those people,

right?

125

00:08:41,809 --> 00:08:43,040

And it was so hard.

126

00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,074

And you wonder like, why do these people not get it?

127

00:08:46,074 --> 00:08:48,922

No, no, no, it's why didn't I get it?

128

00:08:48,922 --> 00:08:52,404

Why didn't I get that this is about service and not about gaining?

129

00:08:52,404 --> 00:08:58,326

um And so when I shifted to how can I serve,

130

00:08:58,434 --> 00:08:59,697

Things got a lot easier.

131

00:08:59,697 --> 00:09:01,298

Are you noticing that as well?

132

00:09:01,358 --> 00:09:02,779

Absolutely, absolutely.

133

00:09:02,779 --> 00:09:11,887

um You know, for some reason, I saw the light when I turned 40, I remember, because I was

working with the Jesuits at the time.

134

00:09:13,969 --> 00:09:19,333

the message came to me very strong that serving others was the purpose of my life.

135

00:09:19,895 --> 00:09:22,777

And that message was very strong to me.

136

00:09:22,777 --> 00:09:25,820

So, you know, I didn't know at the time how I was going to do it.

137

00:09:25,820 --> 00:09:28,504

I knew how I was going to do it with students because

138

00:09:28,504 --> 00:09:35,277

We would take them to, you know, I taught in a very uh prestigious school.

139

00:09:35,398 --> 00:09:38,579

It was a college preschool where parents were very rich.

140

00:09:38,579 --> 00:09:45,943

And so we would take these juniors to third world countries to show them how the poor

lived.

141

00:09:45,943 --> 00:09:48,045

And we worked in soup kitchens and whatnot.

142

00:09:48,045 --> 00:09:56,369

And these kids, our kids would see these young kids who had no shoes, playing in the park,

full of life, laughing, loving life.

143

00:09:56,449 --> 00:09:58,454

And when we would meet with them,

144

00:09:58,454 --> 00:10:02,606

you know, after the day was over, they would say, I don't get it.

145

00:10:02,606 --> 00:10:03,446

They have nothing.

146

00:10:03,446 --> 00:10:04,616

They're happy.

147

00:10:05,217 --> 00:10:06,087

And I have everything.

148

00:10:06,087 --> 00:10:07,998

I have a pimple and I'm miserable.

149

00:10:07,998 --> 00:10:09,778

You know, that kind of thing.

150

00:10:09,959 --> 00:10:11,949

It was like turning them around.

151

00:10:11,949 --> 00:10:13,370

was like, we didn't have to do it.

152

00:10:13,370 --> 00:10:15,521

Their experience did it for them.

153

00:10:15,581 --> 00:10:23,144

And we did it for that reason because it was like, you know, the message here is service

to others.

154

00:10:23,964 --> 00:10:26,585

I mean, we are here to serve one another, you know.

155

00:10:26,585 --> 00:10:28,106

uh

156

00:10:28,106 --> 00:10:31,408

Because if you're here to serve yourself, it just doesn't work.

157

00:10:32,008 --> 00:10:35,031

If you serve others, you're helping yourself anyway.

158

00:10:35,452 --> 00:10:41,187

if you make other, we've heard it over and over, make enough people successful that you

will be successful yourself.

159

00:10:41,187 --> 00:10:43,098

So, and it just does work.

160

00:10:43,098 --> 00:10:45,480

And success comes in many different ways.

161

00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,604

You know, for me at my age, it's much more contribution than anything else.

162

00:10:49,604 --> 00:10:50,955

Yes, the money is great.

163

00:10:50,955 --> 00:10:56,079

Of course, money helps you do the things that you want to do and get.

164

00:10:56,079 --> 00:10:57,735

And so, but

165

00:10:57,735 --> 00:11:00,031

It's so much more than that, you know.

166

00:11:00,536 --> 00:11:07,372

You know, reminds me of what my one of my earliest mentors and influencers taught to me.

167

00:11:07,372 --> 00:11:14,418

that is, cause cause in business where we're always trying to pursue increased revenue and

increased profitability.

168

00:11:14,418 --> 00:11:19,201

And how do I get more clients and lead generation and all the things.

169

00:11:19,282 --> 00:11:25,087

And it's, and, it's like we were saying earlier that that's all the things that I want.

170

00:11:25,087 --> 00:11:26,067

Right.

171

00:11:26,168 --> 00:11:28,812

And I'm a word still.

172

00:11:28,812 --> 00:11:31,403

just really ring true in my mind.

173

00:11:31,403 --> 00:11:39,906

And it is, and they said, if you want to earn more than be more valuable to people, be

more valuable.

174

00:11:39,906 --> 00:11:43,307

And when you're more valuable, it's not about time, right?

175

00:11:43,307 --> 00:11:49,549

It's not about your, price of your package or whatever it's how much value do you bring?

176

00:11:49,549 --> 00:11:54,734

Because when you bring more value, you'll earn, your earnings will go up as well.

177

00:11:54,734 --> 00:11:58,535

Absolutely, it just works that way, oddly enough.

178

00:11:58,995 --> 00:12:01,336

Yeah, and it's been my experience also.

179

00:12:01,336 --> 00:12:13,960

So yeah, I'm very happy to, you I love providing this extra stage to people because people

who are impacting people's lives need to be featured, need to be told, need to be heard,

180

00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,620

need to be shown.

181

00:12:15,620 --> 00:12:17,511

Visibility is very, very important.

182

00:12:17,511 --> 00:12:21,122

They talked about this in Podapalooza.

183

00:12:23,283 --> 00:12:27,685

And so that is, that's what we're doing here, visibility, you know.

184

00:12:28,585 --> 00:12:32,707

So it is so important to provide that for people.

185

00:12:32,707 --> 00:12:35,728

You're doing that, I'm doing that, and so many people are doing that.

186

00:12:35,728 --> 00:12:40,470

uh that's what helps people succeed.

187

00:12:41,272 --> 00:12:42,423

For sure.

188

00:12:42,584 --> 00:12:45,788

So before I let you go, I'd love to hear from you.

189

00:12:45,788 --> 00:12:47,440

Like, how do people connect with you?

190

00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,542

And I'll have you send me all your links.

191

00:12:49,542 --> 00:12:53,457

But if you're watching this on video, all our links will be there.

192

00:12:53,457 --> 00:12:56,231

But do you have any free gifts or resources?

193

00:12:56,231 --> 00:12:59,822

Or what's the next step in terms of people learning from you?

194

00:12:59,822 --> 00:13:03,582

Well, you know, that covers two or three things.

195

00:13:03,582 --> 00:13:04,862

I do have a free gift.

196

00:13:04,862 --> 00:13:07,542

It's called Free Gift from Lucy dot com.

197

00:13:07,542 --> 00:13:15,842

You can go to free gift from Lucy Lucy LUCIE dot com free gift from Lucy dot com.

198

00:13:15,842 --> 00:13:20,222

And that will give you a free membership to a new platform that I have.

199

00:13:20,222 --> 00:13:21,862

And it's a free membership.

200

00:13:21,862 --> 00:13:28,970

No credit cards, folks, because if especially for those of you starting out in business,

you need a platform and

201

00:13:28,970 --> 00:13:33,793

Little by little, you need to crew things only when you need them.

202

00:13:33,793 --> 00:13:39,706

And so this is a free membership to a new platform where there's 30,000 eyeballs, no

algorithms.

203

00:13:39,706 --> 00:13:42,378

So I offer that as a free gift to people.

204

00:13:42,378 --> 00:13:44,789

I want them to start somewhere.

205

00:13:44,789 --> 00:13:46,620

That's a good place to start.

206

00:13:46,701 --> 00:13:49,222

And it's a freebie.

207

00:13:49,222 --> 00:13:56,342

um The other thing is, um you know, I love to feature people who are

208

00:13:56,342 --> 00:14:09,072

you know, even starting out in business because people need to hear from people starting

out people who are successful people who have been there and are pivoting, you know, so

209

00:14:09,072 --> 00:14:14,957

all along the way there is a message to be had by someone for someone.

210

00:14:14,997 --> 00:14:17,369

And I like to provide that stage.

211

00:14:17,369 --> 00:14:22,963

So it's Lucy's inspiring stories that I do once a week every Thursday.

212

00:14:22,964 --> 00:14:26,486

And and so, yeah, those two things.

213

00:14:26,594 --> 00:14:32,382

for sure, and I'd like that information to be uh available to people.

214

00:14:32,842 --> 00:14:33,662

Absolutely.

215

00:14:33,662 --> 00:14:36,794

Well, if you're watching this on video, look in the description below.

216

00:14:36,794 --> 00:14:38,925

All Lucy's links are right there.

217

00:14:38,925 --> 00:14:42,847

And if you're listening to us on podcast, it's all there in the show notes as well.

218

00:14:42,847 --> 00:14:54,052

ah Lucy, thank you for taking the time to share about yourself, your journey, and how you

can help people make a bigger positive impact with the work that they're doing.

219

00:14:54,052 --> 00:14:57,230

Any final piece of advice, words of wisdom for our audience?

220

00:14:57,230 --> 00:14:58,590

Absolutely.

221

00:14:59,030 --> 00:15:02,010

you, you know, here I just turned 80.

222

00:15:02,010 --> 00:15:05,030

I just want to let you know that there is no age.

223

00:15:05,210 --> 00:15:06,570

Age is just a number.

224

00:15:06,570 --> 00:15:12,050

You're never too old to start and you're never too old to reinvent yourself.

225

00:15:12,470 --> 00:15:14,430

Reinventing yourself is wonderful.

226

00:15:14,430 --> 00:15:15,410

I can't wait.

227

00:15:15,410 --> 00:15:20,350

I'm thinking about how am I going to reinvent myself in as an octogenarian?

228

00:15:20,350 --> 00:15:22,890

can't, you know, I have my thoughts already.

229

00:15:22,890 --> 00:15:26,374

And so, you know, just always think of

230

00:15:26,414 --> 00:15:31,060

how you can become a better version of yourself.

231

00:15:31,762 --> 00:15:33,603

Great words to end this episode by.

232

00:15:33,603 --> 00:15:35,264

Thank you, Lucy, so much.

233

00:15:35,264 --> 00:15:37,005

And to our audience, thank you as well.

234

00:15:37,005 --> 00:15:45,190

Remember to make this time really count, take one action step that you heard us talk about

here today and take that step today.

235

00:15:45,190 --> 00:15:46,390

Just take the next step.

236

00:15:46,390 --> 00:15:48,251

You don't always have to see the whole staircase.

237

00:15:48,251 --> 00:15:49,612

Just take the next step.

238

00:15:49,612 --> 00:15:52,234

Remember there's no obstacle too big to be overcome.

239

00:15:52,234 --> 00:15:56,986

You might be one collaboration away from that big breakthrough you need in your business.

240

00:15:56,986 --> 00:16:00,500

And perhaps Lucy is that person to collaborate with.

241

00:16:00,500 --> 00:16:04,329

In the meantime, keep moving forward everybody and we will see you on the next one.

242

00:16:04,329 --> 00:16:04,878

Thank you.

243

00:16:04,878 --> 00:16:05,879

Thank you, Chuck.
