The Intentional Mompreneur™ Podcast

When it comes to the foundation of being an Intentional Mompreneur we must address the elephant in the room. Let me shoot straight with you about the S.H.I.T... We are talking about headspace (or mindset). Today I (Nicole) had a chance to really prepare for this podcast, without knowing it. Do you ever have those conversations with your bestie where they are just so therapeutic? Well, today I had one of those with Polly. Did you know that Polly is my productivity coach? Well she is, and I highly recommend her. Today we were chatting all about the mess that my schedule is and as we were adjusting things and moving them around I was able to identify Mindset blocks all over. THere was a day in the not so distant past that I would have been unable to do that. Unfortunately, mindset issues never really go away. But Alas, there is hope... When you have spent time and energy working on mindset, mindset issues don't hold you back… for long. What we know is that when you flex this muscle and nourish it with personal development, identifying and working through mindset issues happens. And it happens SOOOO much quicker. Join us on today's episode of the podcast as we unpack the mindset issue of scarcity and ways to leverage personal growth and development. This is such a key ingredient in the success cake girl, and we want you in on it. If nothing else get yourself prayed over today (Hint: i do this at the end of each episode) Today's Intentional Practice (TIP): Download the Side Hustlers Guide to Getting Your S.H.I.T.

Getting started can be one of the hardest things to do. While some of us struggle with finishing well, some of us struggle with even getting started or worse, struggle with both. So our advice for all who ears will hear? START SLOPPY, but just start. There are many things that could be at the root of the inability to start well but most likely it's one of two things: fear or perfectionism. The fear could be linked specifically to the fear of failure or the fear of success. And perfectionism, well there's no room for that on the roller coaster of parenthood and definitely not in Entrepreneurship either.

Why Identifying and Combating Resistance in your Life and business is the secret to success as a Mother and Business Owner. While it could seem like an abstract concept, the fact that resistance exists and sabotages your success is so far from abstract...it is very real. That is why we have named this "the resistance is real". If you've ever tried to do something big and have had to do it with the fear, you have heard the voice in your head say, "Nothings going right, this isn't meant to be" Most of us grew up looking for the "signs” that it wasn't in the plan. For me(NiCole), it links back to the way I lived out my faith. If it was God's Will then it will all work out. I think this narrative, more than any other, has held us back from more things we could have done, The Roots of Resistance: Negative Self Talk Fear: imposter syndrome (fear of being a phony), fear of failure or success, intrusive thoughts anxiety and worry. Circumstances: like lack of support. whether it be physical support or emotional or even just belief Failures and Discouragement Ways to combat it: Action--even sloppy action Look for conformation Create a clear direction Expect the resistance to come The path that is right should force us to Lean on God. The best stories have a struggle, or they wouldn't be worth the listen. "Sometimes the ease road isn't the indicator that you are doing the right thing, the difficulty of it is " -NiCole "Happy Endings wouldn't be so happy if the road to them wasn't paved in resistance" NiCole Easton
