As I'm recording this episode, the holiday season is in full swing and I'm planning my 2024 vision, goals, and still noodling on my word for the year. If I'm being honest, I have a mixed relationship with New Year's Resolutions and believe that you can start a new habit any day of the year. This is what this episode is all about - The Art of Creating Habits, whether it's to gear up for the new year or at any other day of your life. This is the first of a three episode series that I'll be doing on habits. I'm incredibly passionate about this topic and am going to share my tips over the next couple of episodes on how to build consistent habits, starting with using my most recent (crazy!) habit, going for daily dips in the ocean, as an example. We're going to cover how to transform your habits into deeply satisfying expressions of your identity, how to become consistent with them, and why building healthy habits is especially important if you're an empath. We're also going to talk about staying present and choosing habits that actually matter. I believe that committing to a new habit can open the door to an entirely new way of life for you, and can't wait to share what I've learned over the last decade of habit setting!  Topics: New Year's Resolutions and why they may or may not work when trying to build a new habit Catherine's most recent habit, going for daily swims in the ocean, and how it has impacted her life Mindset practices that help Catherine maintain habits for months, years or even indefinitely How to cultivate mindset strength to stay consistent with habits Why habit building is particularly important for empaths and how they allow you to take better care of yourself and others The idea that habits can be an expression of who you are and your identity  How to choose habits that make you feel satisfied and fulfilled    Episode Resources: Gay Hendricks, “The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level” James Clear, “Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones” 6-Month Course on Mastering Presence Eve Rodsky, “Find Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World”   Connect with Catherine: Website LinkedIn Instagram YouTube Sign up to receive my weekly digest on empathic entrepreneurship and hear from voices committed to spreading this message, sent straight to your inbox every Friday since 2016, here.    Work with Catherine: Interested in working 1:1 with Catherine or a certified coach on her team, or joining one of her premium mastermind programs?

Hi there Glocal Citizens! If you like the idea of being bold, you'll love the idea of “Beaming Bold”after listening in on thes conversation with my guest, Aurda Gordon. Audra's journey began in the beautiful islands of St.Vincent and the Grenadines where she was born and Brooklyn, New York where she was raised. She is now now an expat living in Hong Kong for almost 12 years. As a Wealth Management and Business Development Professional with extensive experience in retail banking and retail fashion, she is a self-starter who has excelled in senior roles in customer experience, relationship management, and strategy consulting in Hong Kong, New York, and Ghana. She has a proven track record of spearheading initiatives that strengthen the mission, brand, and financial position of enterprises; including those which were self-founded.  A serial entrepreneur, she is the founder of Beam Bold – a vibrant resort wear brand focused on size inclusion and reducing textile waste. She is also founder of Global Identity Partners – a coaching and retail business consultancy. Another stamped and sealed Glocal Citizen, her passion for travel has taken her to 76 countries across six continents. Although she enjoys seeing much of the world, she has a strong connection to the African continent having visited 26 countries and frequently travels there. As she puts it, on her Audraverse platform, this probably explains why her ideal meal would be; jollof rice wrapped in a roti with some dim sum on the side.

Looking to hit the open road? That was the case for Jacqui Money and her husband, who have moved into a Tiny House and are loving the adventure! You'll learn on this episode of She Turned Entrepreneur how this enterprising native of South Africa developed a niche practice providing automated back-office solutions for small businesses. Leveraging a range of platforms, Jacqui helps clients develop systems that can do on their own what a decade ago required the assembly of an entire team. Entrepreneurs — especially solopreneurs and most especially introverts — are loving this one-stop approach to putting processes in place to manage all manner of customer management, marketing, scheduling and other functions, both streamlining tasks and minimizing costs. Jacqui shares exactly what services she provides and her approach to bringing clients along. She has learned in building out her own business a lesson that is applicable for all business owners: Invite feedback. She took her own onboarding process from clunky and ineffective to a series of seamless steps that her clients fully embrace and enjoy. How? By making adjustments based on input and observations she solicited all along the way! The episode wraps with Three Top Tips that will smooth the path for any entrepreneur looking to optimize and automate systems as well as some compelling reading recommendations you'll want to check out. Finally, Jacqui is reminding: Don't delay. Go for it. Launch your entrepreneurial journey! It won't be perfect, but there will be abundant opportunities to refine and improve all along the way! Click here to listen to, rate and review this or previous She Turned Entrepreneur episodes. Here are key takeaways from the conversation:· Are you an introvert? Automation may be your new best friend. With systems in place, there's no need to build a team or manage people!· Attention Solopreneurs: Clear your plate through outsourcing tasks and systems. · Engaging a solutions architect puts your business on the fast track to automation.· Is there an area where you're consistently hitting a stumbling block? Consult your clients. Their feedback will identify the genesis and potential solutions.· Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Get started and incorporate updates and changes as needed along the way. Here's a quick look into the episode:· About Jacqui's background and current adventure: A native of South Africa who, along with her husband, several years ago moved off the grid into a Tiny House (they are loving it!). To do so meant figuring out an income that was location independent. · Jacqui's practice is focused on designing custom solutions for back-end problems, automating systems so solopreneurs don't have to hire a team. · Jacqui found her niche by herself being an entrepreneur who needed back-end business support but didn't want to hire a team of people. Once she discovered the benefits of custom build-outs that are a simple, cost-effective substitute for staff, she felt compelled to spread the word!· About the benefits that Jacqui provides:o A complete mapping of the client journey, from first contact through off-boarding.o An assessment of — and plan to optimize — tools already in play.o Deployment of automated systems to streamline functions and minimize costs/hiring.· Jacqui's target audience: Online businesses, solopreneurs, coaches and consultants. · All about VIP Days: Jacqui's one-stop, holistic approach to building out systems quickly. · Onboarding Clients Like a Pro: Inspired by Jacqui's experience with clients who weren't getting with the program, she developed a mapping system based on their feedback about the challenges. It was a game-changer! Clients today love her process!· Jacqui's three best pieces of advice for entrepreneurs chasing their dreams:o Put systems in place.o Write your SOPs now — even if you're not planning on hiring anyone or employing a huge team.o Don't wait for perfection. Just get started and adjust based on feedback.· Jacqui's Recommended Reading:o "The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level," by Gay Hendricks.o "Traction: A Startup Guide to Getting Customers," by Gabriel Weinberg and Justin Mares.o "Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones," by James Clear.

The Books I Picked & Why| Humans of New York: Stories By Brandon Stanton Book cover of Humans of New York: Stories Why this book? I had someone in my language class in my master's program whose whole life changed by being one of the stories from the book Humans of New York. I was so inspired and realized the power of one single image. I also like this book because every time you open it you learn something new. Not many photo books can do that.

The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level By Gay Hendricks Book cover of The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level Why this book? Artists (but this book is for everyone) are often talented but need to overcome mental hurdles that are imposed on us by society, family, and our surroundings that are telling us only to dream so big or achieve so much. The Big Leap teaches you how to go beyond your limitations to make your dreams come true and see things differently. Buy this book at: Bookshop.org Amazon When you buy a book we may earn a small commission. Obama: An Intimate Portrait By Pete Souza Book cover of Obama: An Intimate Portrait Why this book? I am a huge fan of Pete Souza, Obama's resident photographer. Not only does he show you the day in and day out of the most historically positive president of our time, he continues to this day to educate his audience and show us how a president can be. He also sheds light on some extremely difficult topics like school shootings, and Obama's historic singing of “amazing grace” while consoling families. This book shows me that anyone can be president and that it's a human's job because you see his humanity through these photos, not the “superhero” president that historically is how presidents are portrayed that makes us feel somehow separate from them, and unreachable. Buy this book at: Bookshop.org Amazon When you buy a book we may earn a small commission. Orientalism By Edward W. Said Book cover of Orientalism Why this book? This 1978 published book drove immense controversy. Orientalism pushed heated debates surrounding the nature of Western attitudes towards the Middle East. It pushed millions of people to rethink their prejudices. Said argued that throughout Western history, writers on the Middle East, regardless of the somewhat varying attitudes of their day, reinforced an image of Arabs as uniform, incompetent, and unreflective. But to Said, “the Orient” was a creation of the Western imagination. This work spurred the removal of insensitive words at the beginning of Aladdin. I value this book because it allows us to see how the media is formed and how we can change it. It teaches you agency and power. Buy this book at: Bookshop.org Amazon When you buy a book we may earn a small commission. Why We Can't Wait By Martin Luther King Jr. Book cover of Why We Can't Wait Why this book? Why We Can't Wait is an easy way to get into the psychology of MLK. It is a 1964 book by Martin Luther King Jr. about the nonviolent movement against racial segregation in the United States, and specifically the 1963 Birmingham campaign. The way it is written makes it understandable from a 1:1 perspective. I am connected to this because it helps a person be actionable in their own way about causes they care about.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week on the podcast I have the first of a handful of interviews that came about in a back to the future-esque way. This spring, the Stanford National Black Alumni Association (https://www.stanfordblackalumni.org) biennale summit took place in Washington, D.C. and I organized my spring trip back to the U.S. around reconnecting with my fellow friends and alum and sharing my insights as a Glocal Citizen on a panel entitled, "Africa: Bridging the Diasporic Divide." A propos, my guest, Detroit native, Dereca Blackmon has career-wide experience bridging divides. As Co-Founder and President of the Inclusion Design Group (https://inclusiondesign.com), she is also head trainer and responsible for the creation of the dynamic set of workshops and follow-up activities used by her team. Her experiential training models cut through “diversity fatigue” and allow participants to engage in deep, authentic, and meaningful dialogues. Among her prior positions, she served as the Assistant Vice Provost, Associate Dean and Director of the Diversity and First-Generation Office at Stanford University where she introduced groundbreaking work on authentic engagement, intergroup dialogue, and unconscious bias to over 30,000 students, staff, faculty and alumni. She also taught several courses at Stanford including Intergroup Communication with renowned cultural psychologist Hazel Markus (https://web.stanford.edu/~hazelm/) Reverend Deborah L. Johnson (https://deborahljohnson.org). For over 25 years, Dereca has consulted with a wide variety of corporate, educational, nonprofit, and community-based groups to facilitate “uncommon conversations” on issues of race, gender, class, and social justice. I hope this two part conversation brings you closer to understanding and embodying your own inclusion mindset.

14. The Happiness Recipe (with Becky Morrison) Rebecca Morrison was a happily married mom and lawyer with a two-decade career in Big Law and Finance, she felt like something was missing.

Rebecca is a graduate of Wellesley College and Georgetown Law. She is also a UC Berkeley Executive Coaching Institute Certified Executive Coach. In this episode we discussed: We started off discussing her book called The Happiness Recipe. I was curious how she came up with the title, what it was like to write it and what she hoped it would do for readers. She shared a pivotal moment that she had as she was giving her daughter a bath that changed how she thought about her life and her career. We talked about the term Priority-Aligned Living that she has in the book and what it means to her and how readers should think about it. She organized the book around three parts that can be referred to over and over throughout the transitions of life and career. Her explanations of those three parts were very impactful.   We also talked about what it is like to be a working mother with a high pressure job and the transition she went through from being a lawyer to becoming an entrepreneur and coach. Have you found that more people have come to you during and after the pandemic to find ways to deal with the stress and anxiety? We talked about the impactful work that she is doing with law firms and her individual clients to help them find balance. Becky says that visibility is being willing to share what is important to you at this time in your life.

For many, taking that initial leap and giving up the steady paycheck is enough to keep entrepreneurial impulses in a holding pattern. Not so for Stacia Aashna, a life coach and certified hypnotherapist who took the pandemic as an opportunity to make the break. She quit her corporate sales job because “it was worth it to give up the comfort of a salary and a paycheck to build my dream.” On this episode of She Turned Entrepreneur we learn about the power of hypnotherapy and what it means to commit 100% to that thing that makes your heart sing. Having developed a thriving practice on the side, it felt like a privilege to go all-in on serving people with results that were transformational. Stacia blends various modalities in order to achieve long-lasting results. Her focus includes: · Inner Child Healing· Therapeutic Imagery · NLP· IFS (Internal Family Systems) · Age Regression Therapy · Mindfulness· Hypnosis· Breathwork · Journaling The goal is to help people who are stuck in behaviors or mindsets that do not serve. Danielle facilitates personal healing, working through the negativity that can keep us from pursuing our best lives. It has been a joyful experience to devote herself full-time to coaching and hypnotherapeutic work, but Stacia cautions that launching a business doesn't come without bumps. She offers important advice about how to navigate the challenges any startup venture will face. “The entrepreneurial journey is not an easy upward slope,” she says. “It's okay if it's not always great. That's going to happen.” If you'd like to know more about the community Stacia is building and the tools that are available, click here to sign up for her newsletter, a master class or one-to-one coaching session.

What is catastrophizing? Always thinking the worst is going to happen in a situation. Why did we start doing this? Helped us survive all the dysfunction and trauma we lived through. Allowed us to be one step ahead of the problems. Why being prepared for the worst was good to start out with as a kid. We were always ready, day or night, to deal with the worst. We could never let our guard down. How it turned to being bad for us. We started limiting our choices. Didn't take chances for fear that the worst would happen. Started to always see things as being negative. Did have fun and didn't enjoy life as a problem was only a second away. What can we do about it? Therapy Meditation Mindfulness (Is it healthy for me to always think the worst is going to happen? Is it true?) Be in the moment. Self parent (imagine yourself as a kid, go up to him, and hug him). Tip: I recommend that you read the book The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay Hendricks.

If you're a leader or aspiring leader wanting to write a book, whether it's a book about your personal life or your expertise, today's episode is for you.In this week's episode, Kele has a conversation with Hollis Citron, owner of I am Creative and Express Yourself Publishing. Hollis is on a mission to make creativity accessible to everyone by exposing them to new possibilities. She is passionate about helping people build the confidence to recognize, encourage, and express the innate creativity that they are born with. Hollis believes that creativity goes beyond the pencil and the brush. Creativity is your unique and original exploration, expansion, and expression of your imagination. According to Hollis, even if you are not “an artist,” you are a creative being. You are creative because you are the only person who can add your gifts to the things you create. You are creative because only you can express your ideas and greatness with the world. Here's the episode at a glance:Hollis shares why she started her businesses, I Am Creative, and more recently, Express Yourself Publishing.She discusses in-depth why she's on a mission to expand the definition of creativity.Hollis talks about the importance of meeting authors and potential authors where they are, helping them feel comfortable, and creating a safe space where they can explore and tell their stories in their own way.She believes that the biggest challenge that authors and potential authors face today is being in their own way and overthinking the writing process. We get into the incredible benefit of going with a nontraditional publishing house and how that's expanded opportunities for more aspiring authors to get published. Hollis offers some great tips for getting over the dreaded writer's block to get you back into your writing flow.  Hollis recommends reading The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay Hendricks to help you get out of your own way.You can connect with Hollis Citron at https://www.iamcreativephilly.com and if you'd like to get involved in her next multi-author book, contact her for a quick conversation.  If you enjoyed this conversation with Hollis Citron, please share it with a leader or aspiring leader who'd like to write a book, and let's get our stories out there and help others with our expertise. Connect with Kele:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/    Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com

“You are worthy simply because you exist.” - tune in to find out how a simple mindset shift like this one can help turn your life around!    Episode Introduction:  From being homeless as a child to making it as a multiple six-figure entrepreneur, our guest today is truly a testament to what sheer determination can do for a person.   Episode Summary:  Dr. Naieema Jackson walks us through her journey of consistently wanting to prove her self-worth to others until the age of 31 to then acknowledging her own self-worth and doing what made her happy. She talks about her challenges, the lessons she has learned, her victories, some jaw-dropping anecdotes as well as how she helps other female entrepreneurs succeed in their business with her strategies.    Main Takeaways: What you are experiencing doesn't define you. Sometimes, even when you're not ready, you need to take just the first step towards your goals. When people are speaking with hatred, it's about their own inner demons and not the person they are talking to. When you start questioning your self-worth, focus on the evidence of everything that you have accomplished in life. It is important to remind yourself that you are worthy regardless of what you achieve simply because you are a person. Be mindful of what the people around you are telling you about your self worth. First focus on what you want your life to look like and then align your business goals to that vision.   Fun Facts About Dr. Naieema Jackson: One book that she recommends all our listeners is The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay Hendricks.   Help us mentor other entrepreneurs through the power of storytelling by rating us and leaving a positive review on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/law-chat-with-girija/id1528580730   Get the FREE Five Day Legal Audit: https://yourcontractbuddy.com/5-day-free-legal-audit-challenge/   Join Law Chat for Entrepreneurs Free Facebook Community: ​​https://www.facebook.com/groups/lawchat   Find Dr. Naieema Jackson: Website: https://thedeterminedfempreneur.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drnaieema/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ditchthatshift Podcast: https://thedeterminedfempreneur.com/podcast YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjSyLRVUg228xMcFuzLIVxQ?view_as=subscriber Get the visual experience, watch the videocast for the episode here: https://youtu.be/ufUxZmzFfNI   Connect With Girija: Website: https://www.gbplaw.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gbplaw/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GBPLaw/   Get Ready To Use Contract Templates At: https://yourcontractbuddy.com/

Most people stay stuck in one place and sabotage themselves because they fear failure, but according to "The Big Leap" by Gay Hendricks, a fear of success can be just as debilitating and keep us from becoming a bigger version of ourselves.  For Jane Sagalovich, this insight resonated heavily with her, helped her uncover why she was stuck, and allowed her to realign her nervous system so she doesn't sabotage herself before success.  In this episode, she shares how this book impacted her life in so many ways, and we also talk about what it takes to create and scale a great course.  Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Why you don't need to customize everything in our programs to get results The idea that everything must be custom to get people results is a misconception, often driven by ego and insecurity. When people teach live they want that visual feedback from the other person, but you can also create enough confidence in what you're teaching.  How to set a new thermostat for our lives    Much of our identity is wrapped up in the set point of what we believe we're capable of, and that makes us afraid to succeed beyond that. If there's a level of success we're used to and if we try to go above it, we'll sabotage ourselves back down to neutral. You have to bring more awareness to your decision and watch for areas where you're not allowing yourself to go past your set point or present self.  How to watch where you apply your creativity  Many coaches apply their natural urge for creativity to the structure of the business and instead of building something long-lasting, they find themselves constantly pivoting, creating new courses and starting from the bottom. We would benefit more from something that doesn't change that much for the audience, and then find an outlet that allows us to scratch our creative itch, without messing with our core business.  Guest Bio  Jane Sagalovich is a coach, strategist and the founder of Scale Your Genius. She founded Scale Your Genius in 2018 to help people whose work makes a difference in people's lives make a bigger impact, make more money, and have more freedom in how they do their work.  For more information and to find out about Jane's program head over to https://scaledgenius.com/ (https://scaledgenius.com/).

In today's Team Meeting episode we have another great interview. Have you every been afraid to be your full self at work, in a relationship or with family and friends? I have and it's a horrible feeling of loneliness. Today we talk about how to get comfortable taking up space.  When we say "take up space" we mean be yourself, go into a room and don't question if you're worthy of being there. Apply for a job and don't be afraid you're not smart enough. Go on a date and don't worry about not being interesting enough. Take. Up. Space. This is all a part of being yourself.  I'm talking to my friend Rafat Fields, who is a Purpose Cultivator (I love that term). She helps women align their purpose for profit. We met in a Mastermind group and she has helped me to define my audience for the work that I'm doing now. She can help you too. You can reach out to her here  Another message from this episode is that you must learn to be kind to yourself. It is an act of bravery to accept and unconditionally love who you are. It is also a journey to learn how to practice kindness for yourself. A book we reference in today's session is The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay Hendrick. I highly recommend it. I'm listening to the audio version now.  The concept of operating in your zone of genius fascinates me and is something I aim to do.I also referenced the ebook I wrote that's on amazon. If you want to hear my story about my journey to love myself through hip replacement surgery. Check it out here.Let's start the meeting.

You will attract fewer people but will attract people who are more willing to invest in you. In a job description, describe the candidate: Who the perfect person is for the role, and what the job would do for the person beyond a paycheck. Your business must stand for something in order to attract employees who will be committed. Match a job description that underscores what is important to your ideal employee at that stage in their life.    QUESTIONS TO INSPIRE US TO ACTION What is some lesson, saying, or experience that continues to influence your leadership to this day? Be willing to suck! Use three descriptors to finish this sentence: “A leader is…” Flexible, confident, and courageous. What is a question that leaders should be asking either themselves or others?

Pick on thing. As a general life principle, is it better to ask “why?” or “why not?” “Why not?” To be out of the box, you need to ask forgiveness rather than permission.   CONNECT WITH ANGELA Twitter: https://twitter.com/authorincubator (@authorincubator) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/authorincubator/ (@authorincubator) Website: http://www.TheAuthorIncubator.com (http://www.TheAuthorIncubator.com)   CONNECT WITH JOSH LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/joshuafriedeman (@joshuafriedeman) Instagram: https://instagram.com/joshuafriedeman (@joshuafriedeman) Email: josh@friedemanleadership.com   Want a FREE list of weekly action steps to improve your leadership?

Gay Hendricks | The Big Leap | Book Review by Lisa Woodruff On Mondays, I will be posting a podcast recording of previously recorded book reviews. These are books that have impacted me that I want to share with you. In June, I will share different books on mindset, and I again share how my own thinking has been influenced and even changed for the better by these new ideas. This week, I review The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay Hendricks. I listened to this book twice in 2016 because it had such a profound effect on me. Gay talks about our mindset having an internal thermostat that limits how much success and happiness we allow ourselves to feel. I found this to be true about my own dealing with credit card debt. Gay shares how he was able to adjust his own level of happiness and how to remove the blocks and beliefs that get in your way to being happier.  You can also watch this as a video review on YouTube.  Follow me on Goodreads!

The One Thing Holding You Back From Massive Success   Regardless of the industry we are in, success is the goal, but it isn't easy to achieve. It takes time and effort and oftentimes, we have to overcome mental blocks that keep us from attaining that success. In this episode, we're talking about breaking through that upper limit to achieve sales success.    Limiting your sales success Gay Hendricks wrote the book, The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level. It is a powerful book that talks about how we set limitations and don't take big leaps because of fear. As a salesperson, we set limits on ourselves about what we do on a day-to-day basis. This may include calling clients or setting appointments. We  have these upper limits, the proverbial glass ceiling,  we impose on ourselves. These are the limits we don't go beyond.    For example, one salesperson may limit himself to three appointments a day and when they try to go beyond that, they somehow find ways to sabotage themselves. This is because he isn't comfortable with success that is outside of his norm. He feels the need to move himself back into his comfort zone, a place where he feels like he belongs.    The same is true in relationships. Sometimes when things are going well, fighting starts. This isn't just a mystical force suddenly showing its face. The fight is something we conjure up in our minds. We allow it and find ways to let it intrude on our lives. It turns a small incident into a big deal. It keeps us at a lower level.    Go beyond your comfort zone The sales reps that go beyond their comfort zone are the ones who typically thrive but this requires you to put yourself in an uncomfortable position. It requires you to take the big leap.    How can you achieve your sales success? How can you go to the next level of your sales performance?    In this pandemic, some of you may have already set your proverbial glass ceilings. You may have decided that your opportunities are limited and convinced yourself that you're not going to be successful in this current season. The truth is, sometimes the worse things happen because we stop taking action. Are you showing up on time for virtual meetings? In what areas are you showing a lack of effort?   The Sales Evangelists are still offering the same services now as they did before.  The organization, however, is receiving more opportunities, even with this pandemic. Donald realized that this was because he didn't limit what he could do as a leader of the organization.    Constantly look for areas to improve  There is always room for success when you break through the ceiling. This may be through prospecting, your LinkedIn outreach, or your social selling. Whatever those limits are, go beyond them, and position yourself as someone who can solve the problems of your ideal customers.    It's not easy to take the big leap, especially if you are making big changes, but there's no other way except to break through the limitations you've set.    Be the person who can solve the problem for your ideal customer. #SalesSolution   “The One Thing Holding You Back From Massive Success” episode resources   If you are interested in more sales stories, you can talk to Donald directly.

Episode 28 - My 10 Favourite Business BooksAll of these books have helped me move my business forward. These are not motivational fluff, or "rah-rah, you can do it!" reads, these are some fantastic pieces of personal and professional development that could shape the future of your business. If you do not have an MBA (and aren't thinking of obtaining one anytime soon), then check out "The Personal MBA" by Josh Kaufman. In it, Josh covers parts of a business that you may not have discovered yet. "Rocket Fuel" by Gino Wickman talks about those of us who are visionaries in our businesses, and why the need for an integrator may be just the thing to push you forward. "Traction" (also by Gino Wickman) will cover how to map out your vision and systems in your business to help you grow and scale. "Influence" by Dr. Robert Cialdini, you will learn powerful strategies for selling and some basic psychology on how the human brain works, which ultimately leads people to make a buying decision. Are you interested in simplifying, prioritizing and getting clear on what to focus on? Then "The One Thing" by Gary Keller may be your next big read. "The Compound Effect" by Darren Hardy talks about how going too far too fast will not work in your favour. Instead, Darren will teach you how making small incremental changes will have a massive impact over time. There are four personality types in the world, Gretchen Rubin covers identifying both your own and your client's in her book "The Four Tendencies." "The Big Leap" by Gay Hendricks talks about the emotional side of entrepreneurship and how, as business owners, we often struggle and go through periods of discomfort. Habits, the good ones, of course, have the power to dictate our success. "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg talks about how the things we do daily, weekly and monthly affect our business and the psychology of implementing new habits into our lives. If you are interested in how to better understand your brand and how to conveys to other people, then check out "Building a Story Brand" by Donald Miller.

When are you going to tackle your bucket list? My guest today is Alan Worden, a serial entrepreneur focused on leisure-seeking Baby Boomers who founded Scout Real Estate Capital. For Alan, there came a time when he realized it may be now or never if he wanted to chase his dreams. In 1999, Alan asked 10 trusted friends and advisors for advice. He asked each if it was a good idea to drop prosperous careers and go sailing from the U.S. to New Zealand with his wife. Independently, each of them said “If you can do it, do it now. It's never going to get any easier.” That was in 1999. Soon after that, Worden spent exactly 365 days sailing to New Zealand in an Everest-sized adventure you'll love to hear about. (Including a brush with death I won't spoil for you.) He spent all that time and most of his money to make it happen. For him, it was as much about conquering fear as it was about a bucket list item to cross off. See, Alan's biggest fear is the ocean. And he crossed 18,000 miles of it in his “do it now” year. The lessons he learned on that sailboat have carried him to new heights in life and in this episode you'll learn just what they are. If you think you could make your dreams happen and something is holding you back, this episode is for you. If you have trouble facing your fears but want to get better at it, listen to this conversation with Alan. And if you just want to hear about a real-life adventure that changed one life for the better, click play in the player above to get started. In this episode, hear from Alan Worden how to ‘do it now' and more: Why the most influential family members aren't who you think. The critical difference between research and “need-search” A stunning piece of advice that came from an unlikely source. What will make the world care about your business. The paradigm shift that put Alan's life in high gear. Why you should be OK with sucking at some things. Meditation for cynics. The thing you might think that constitutes “the height of arrogance.” How to make your “worry quotient” go down—and fast. Why 95 percent of what you fear shouldn't scare you. Giving yourself a superpower.

Is your business surviving or thriving? My guest today is brand survival expert Jonathan David Lewis, the author of “Brand Vs. Wild: Building Resilient Brands for Harsh Business Environments.” The marketing agency where Jonathan's a partner, McKee Wallwork + Co., has been recognized by Advertising Age as a national leader in branding and marketing. Jonathan specializes in working with stalled, stuck or stale brands that have been living in survival mode. He works to break companies out of ambiguity to hit marketing with a clarity that helps them thrive. “So much of the way out [of survival mode] has to do with psychology and human nature and emotion far more than any of us would like to admit,” Jonathan tells me in this episode. Jonathan's watched as the marketing realm has undergone a complete overhaul, with continuous and dramatic changes still filtering down. That uncertainty has left many stalled, stuck or stale brands that need to revamp their image and their strategies. And to develop a new breed of resilience. Using his background in psychology, Jonathan recognizes the predictable ways people react in survival mode and channels that for better marketing. And he's done it all without sacrificing his integrity. If you've noticed that biographies of great people tend to be filled with a mess of a personal life, this episode's for you. If you feel your business is stalled, stuck or stale, Jonathan's story may help you get chugging again. And if you want to weatherproof your business for the ongoing marketing storms in today's fast-changing world, click play in the player above to get started. Listen to this episode to hear Jonathan David Lewis discuss with me how to make your business thrive in the new marketing age and more: How to deal with lightning-fast changes in the marketing world. Knowing who to disappoint. The one attribute that will get you ahead farther than any other. Developing resilience in your business. Being comfortable in ambiguity. Why business leaders act the way they do in the face of disruptions or industry challenges. The one thing every successful strategy has behind it. Work-life balance while writing a book. Buckling down when things seem hardest to WIN! Why Jonathan's company won't service many big-money companies.
