Send us a textThe path from employee to entrepreneur is rarely straightforward, but Aram Street's journey from certified butler to successful business owner offers a masterclass in calculated risk-taking and resilient entrepreneurship. When faced with an impending job loss from his position managing a 25,000 square foot mansion, Aram made the deliberate choice to bet on himself rather than seeking another employer.What makes his story particularly compelling is the practical reality of launching a business while supporting a growing family (now with five children). Without romanticizing entrepreneurship, Aram shares how he supplemented his emerging cleaning business with rideshare driving and food delivery – doing whatever necessary to keep finances stable while building something sustainable. His candid insights demolish the "overnight success" myth while illuminating what true entrepreneurial commitment looks like.Aram's evolution as a business owner reveals crucial lessons in adaptability and opportunity recognition. Some of his most profitable business developments stemmed from opportunities he initially rejected multiple times. His transition from residential to commercial cleaning – now his primary revenue source – almost didn't happen due to his initial reluctance to expand beyond his comfort zone. This experience transformed his approach to new possibilities: "I no longer say no to anything immediately."Throughout our conversation, Aram emphasizes the value of mentorship and learning from others who've already navigated similar paths. Had he sought more guidance early on, he could have avoided numerous costly mistakes. For aspiring entrepreneurs, his message is refreshingly honest: expect to work harder than anticipated, for longer than expected, while making less than you hoped – but for those committed to ownership and financial independence, the journey remains worthwhile.As Aram perfectly summarizes: "It can be done, but it's probably harder than you think." With unprecedented access to information and connectivity, entrepreneurial possibilities are greater than ever – but success still demands perseverance, strategic thinking, and willingness to adapt along the way. Connect with Aram on LinkedIn to continue learning from his entrepreneurial journey.Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Connect With Devan:https://www.devangonzalez.com/connect----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/https://www.instagram.com/mindsetcafepodcastLet me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.----------------------------------------------P.S.

Send us a textTired of wasting time and money on hiring the wrong people? Dr. Michael Neal knows your pain. As both an optometrist running his own practice and the founder of Build My Team, he's cracked the code on finding and keeping top talent without the traditional headaches.The journey began in rural Alberta, Canada, where Dr. Neal grew up in a town so small it didn't even have a traffic light. His path to entrepreneurship started unexpectedly as a high school co-op student working as a secretary in an eye care office (a position he admits he was terrible at). What drew him to optometry was the perfect combination of helping people while running a business.But like so many healthcare professionals and business owners, Dr. Neal found himself trapped in the nightmare of constant hiring and rehiring. "Talk to any doctor who's in their own practice. It's the number one problem we all face," he explains. After pulling out his hair in frustration, he began studying how elite hospitality companies like Disney and Four Seasons hired their exceptional staff.What he discovered fundamentally changed his approach: ditch the resumes, stop trying to "fix" mediocre performers, and focus instead on natural strengths and talents. "Using resumes to hire entry-level positions is a complete waste of time," Dr. Neal asserts. "What does a resume actually tell you? The answer is nothing, virtually nothing."Perhaps most surprising is Dr. Neal's counterintuitive advice on experience: for most entry-level positions, you're actually better off hiring someone without experience. Why? Because experienced hires bring bad habits that need to be "untrained" before they can adapt to your way of doing things.The impact of proper hiring extends beyond just individual performance. As Dr. Neal explains, "A players on a team only want to work with A players. They'll tolerate B players, but as soon as you ask them to work with a C player, they're gone." Want to transform your company culture? Start by hiring better people.Ready to transform your hiring process?

Send us a textTransformational coach Arlene Miller opens up about her remarkable journey from high-pressure attorney to mindfulness expert in this captivating conversation about authentic work-life harmony. After decades practicing law while raising a family, Arlene shares the moment she recognized her burnout wasn't just fatigue—it was a call to completely reimagine her relationship with herself and her career.The discussion quickly moves beyond standard self-care advice into practical techniques anyone can implement immediately. Arlene introduces simple yet powerful breathwork practices that physiologically shift your nervous system from stress to calm without requiring extra time in your day. "We forget to breathe," she notes, explaining how this foundational practice creates space for deeper transformation.Most compelling is Arlene's framework for breaking free from self-judgment—what she calls the hamster wheel of negativity. Rather than promoting quick fixes, she advocates for consistent awareness, explaining how recognizing our inner critic allows us to embrace our role as our own inner coach instead. This perspective shift transforms how we approach challenges, setbacks, and even past wounds, creating pathways for genuine healing and growth.The conversation takes an unexpected turn when exploring boundaries, with Arlene challenging conventional wisdom about how we protect our energy. "We set our boundaries based on how the other person is," she explains, offering a refreshing perspective on maintaining strong boundaries even with those closest to us. This approach allows us to share love from our overflow rather than depleting ourselves by absorbing others' negative emotions.Whether you're facing burnout, struggling with self-criticism, or seeking more authentic connections, Arlene's insights provide a roadmap for creating meaningful change through self-awareness, intentional breathing, and unconditional self-love.

Send us a textBreaking free from the endless pursuit of goals that never seem to satisfy—that's the challenge we tackle in this thought-provoking episode about the hedonic treadmill. This psychological phenomenon explains why we quickly adapt to achievements, with happiness returning to baseline levels shortly after reaching our goals.Remember that promotion you worked tirelessly for? Or the fitness milestone that consumed your training for months? Why did the thrill fade so quickly, leaving you asking "Is this it?" The answer lies in our psychological wiring. We're designed to acclimate to changes, both positive and negative, as a survival mechanism—but this adaptation can rob us of lasting satisfaction in modern life.Throughout our conversation, we explore practical strategies to break this cycle. Rather than falling into the "never enough" mindset where accomplishments are immediately diminished by comparison, we discuss how to cultivate genuine gratitude for your progress. The key distinction between extrinsic goals (external achievements) and intrinsic goals (deeper purpose) can transform how you experience success. As Nicholas brilliantly puts it, pursuing endless achievements without appreciation is like "running after wind"—chasing something you'll never catch while missing the journey itself.Whether you're building a business, transforming your fitness, or pursuing personal development, this episode offers actionable insights to help you experience more sustainable happiness. Stop diminishing your victories with "but" statements that erase your pride, and start celebrating how far you've come before setting new horizons. Ready to step off the treadmill and find more lasting fulfillment?

Send us a textWhat makes a truly memorable leader? Dr. Rob Lion believes it's someone who creates work environments that energize people rather than drain them – a philosophy he's developed through his fascinating journey from academic to multi-business entrepreneur.In this soul-stirring conversation, Dr. Lion shares how he navigated the challenging transition from economic development expert to cycling studio owner, restaurateur, and finally to the leadership consultant he is today. His candid stories about COVID destroying businesses he'd built from scratch offer rare insights into the resilience required to pivot when everything seems lost."I realized everything's learned," Dr. Lion explains, describing his epiphany that entrepreneurship wasn't an innate gift but rather a skill anyone could develop with the right mindset. "It's usually us that gets in our way." This growth perspective became foundational to his business philosophy, which he distills into the memorable phrase "give me growers, not showers" – valuing humble learners over know-it-alls.The most valuable nugget may be Dr. Lion's insights about psychological safety in organizations. When leaders respond consistently to both triumphs and failures, team members develop the courage to admit mistakes, ask questions, and hold themselves accountable. This creates cultures where innovation thrives naturally rather than being forced.Dr. Lion's wisdom extends beyond the workplace into personal relationships too. His "24-hour rule" with his spouse – allowing only one day to process negative emotions before moving forward – demonstrates how principles of emotional intelligence can strengthen both professional and personal connections. "We've learned to give each other permission to sit in the suck," he explains, "and it's amazing how quickly we move back out of that."Whether you're leading a Fortune 500 company, launching your first startup, or simply trying to build stronger relationships, Dr. Lion's practical advice will transform how you approach the human side of business.
