“You've got to start to look at what it is that will make this holiday season feel really good for your business, and for yourself, and for your family.” This week on Women in the Business Arena, we’re discussing how to successfully navigate the holidays in our business. The holidays are known for times of rest, and relaxation, time with family, and preparation for the new year. How do we enjoy the rest that comes along with the holiday season, without losing the momentum we’ve worked so hard to establish? “It's about getting creative and it's about determining what you really want. I think the most important thing is that you keep your momentum up. Because what I see happening around this time period is people start really losing momentum...By the time you get your momentum back up, it's March… that's three months of not enough income, not enough sales.” Many people limit the success of their business during this season with self-limiting beliefs including the misnomers that everyone checks out for the holidays, no one will want to purchase new services, and that all service sales inevitably slow at this time of year. The truth is, even during the holidays, your business will be as successful as you believe it can be. What is your intention and mindset around taking an intentional pause around the holidays? What are the self-limiting beliefs that are dictating your business choices? “We sabotage our energy because we overcommit. We try to get too much done. We try to finish everything we had on our to-do list for 2018 to prove to ourselves that we can do it. And then we are quite exhausted going into the New Year. And that's not what this time is about. It's about being able to finish off strong, have an amazing renewal, recovery, relaxation time period, and then jump back in January, refreshed.” As we approach the holidays, there are some vital questions to ask yourself, in order to find your balance of momentum and rest. What do you want your holidays to feel like? Set the intention now. What are some low-hanging fruits or ways for you to generate some sales efficiently right now? Finally, what is your plan for January? Now is the time to make a plan. Don’t wait until the New Year sneaks up on you to implement at least a loose framework. It is so possible to have a restful, rejuvenating break, while still leaning into the momentum you’ve worked so hard to gain!

Welcome! My guest today is Dr. Steven Masley, who is an accomplished physician, chef, and nutritionist. He is also the author of four cookbooks. I’ve been a big fan and follower of his for a long time and am excited to have him on the show! He has a new book coming out soon on the topic of healthy fats, so join us to hear more! Dr. Steven discusses the following : His new book is an outgrowth of the discussion about the REAL cause of heart disease, which is metabolic syndrome and pre-diabetes. His plan is based on clean protein, smart fat, fiber, and flavor! “Smart fats” include nuts (almonds, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, hazelnuts, and macadamias), salmon, sardines, avocado, dark chocolate, and olive oil. He discusses the controversy about oils, their processing, and their uses. Regarding oils, you have to know your smoke point! Some oils are safe for cooking and some are NOT! Neutral oils are those with no proven benefits or harmful effects, like grapeseed oil and unclarified butter. The goal is 5 servings of smart fats daily. There are smart carbs and bad carbs. The smart carbs are those with more fiber and a lower glycemic response. Nut flours: Is there a difference from regular grain flours? Aim for 30-40 grams of fiber daily. Dr. Steven sums up his principles with four points: Know the difference between smart, neutral, and bad fats. Eat more smart fat! Add fiber, clean protein, and flavor! Don’t cook fat at the wrong temp to make it toxic! Dr. Steven has a 30-day meal plan and numerous recipes on his website and in his new book. He shows you how to turn back the clock on aging, and how to prevent hypertension, heart disease, and memory loss. He can help you lose weight and feel great! Interested?
