We recently connected with Efy Ermias and have shared our conversation below.
Efy, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
In my personal and professional journey with DIME org. LLC, our mission to empower women involves both individual and collective support. My commitment is deeply rooted in a transformative experience—achieving a 200lbs weight loss through the sheer power of my mind, which became the catalyst for founding DIME org. LLC.
DIME is not just a company; it’s a guiding force for women. Individually, we assist women in unlocking the power of their minds, providing tools to break free from limitations and discover genuine happiness within. Collectively, we create a safe community where women connect, share experiences, and grow together. DIME is more than a platform for personal development; it is a space fostering both personal empowerment and collective growth.
Our mission extends beyond challenging societal norms; it is about redefining possibilities for women in various aspects of life. DIME Org LLC authentically reflects my personal values, transcending conventional business motivations. It is a genuine commitment to helping every woman unlock her potential, live her best life, and contribute to the positive transformation of society.
Efy, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Hello friends, I’m Efy Ermias. Becoming a life coach wasn’t part of my initial plans, but life has its own way of unfolding. In late 2019, discontent with various aspects of my life pushed me to a breaking point. I was morbidly obese, a habitual people-pleaser lacking discipline, and my pursuit of making others happy left me unfulfilled.
What initially seemed like another attempt at a weight loss journey in 2020 turned out to be the catalyst for profound change. Amidst my university days, feeling disheartened in my dorm room, I realized that true happiness wasn’t tied to shedding pounds but transforming my mindset. Discovering Dr. Joe Dispenza’s teachings on the power of the mind marked a turning point.
My journey toward genuine healing commenced. Having shed 200lbs and undergone a complete mindset shift, the transformation was undeniable. As my story resonated with people on social media and in person, especially women facing similar struggles, I felt compelled to extend a helping hand. This led to the inception of DIME, a platform born from my desire to assist others in their journey towards empowerment and positive change.
Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
There are so many books that have helped me but I will share my top 5 books:
1. You are the Placebo – Dr. Joe Dispenza
2. The Power of Habit- Charles Duhigg
3. The High 5 Habit- Mel Robbin’s
4. Million Dollar Habits- Brian Tracy
5. Think and Grow Rich- Napoleon Hill
These books have helped my perspective and philosophy about the power of my mind.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
In my journey of understanding the power of my mind, a significant lesson I’ve had to unlearn is the belief in my own limitations. Society and past experiences often planted limiting beliefs that hindered my personal growth. I realized the importance of shedding these constraints and fully embracing the potential within my mind.
Rather than seeing myself confined by limitations, I’ve learned to recognize the vast capabilities of my mind to shape my reality. Unlearning limitations involves breaking free from self-imposed mental barriers, understanding that my mind holds the key to overcoming challenges and achieving my goals. This shift in mindset has been transformative, allowing me to tap into my true potential and live a more empowered and fulfilling life.
