Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, and The Evolution of a Business Owner Most people see the movie “You've Got Mail” as a love story. I however see it completely differently. When I travel on Southwest Airlines, it's been one of their available movies lately and I've been absolutely loving it. After rewatching it several times, I no longer see it as a love story. I see it as an evolution of a business owner. Meg Ryan's character grew up in the bookstore as a kid and then later took it over from her mother. Enter Tom Hanks's character, who is the owner of the giant book chain that just moved in down the street.  I really enjoy Meg's character evolving going through different stages, starting in denial and later moving on to realization of impending danger, then onto fighting back against the book behemoth.  Eventually, she loses the fight and closes her shop, but then things get better for Meg's character. She then uses the skills she's acquired to move on to a different and more successful career in the book industry.  That's how I see it. Even if you've been forced out of your current role in whatever field you are/were in, that doesn't make you a failure. You have to end one chapter before you can begin another one. It very well might be the catalyst you've been looking for.  How to Get Involved: Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

Do You Believe In You More Than You Believe In Me? Just an observation I've had about other people, and of course about myself. We tend to believe in other people more than we believe in ourselves. We feel others are destined for big things, but we tend not to believe that about ourselves. This is definitely something we all have to overcome. But the truth is, if you are ever going to accomplish anything, you absolutely NEED to believe in yourself.  When I switched gears career-wise, I again became the top salesperson in my field. I could only do this if I truly believed in myself.  If you never try to impress yourself or to push yourself, you will never get to see exactly what you are capable of. So do it. Go for it! Try to see if you can surpass your own expectations of yourself. I bet you can! Be your own #1 Cheerleader.   How to Get Involved: Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

She Rules #73, If You Don't Like The Radio Station, Turn The Dang Channel!   In my Jeep Grand Cherokee which is our family car, only about two of the radio stations are programmed for me. The rest go to the kids. I mostly listen to new music and the Christian Station because let's face it, your girl needs Jesus. I need all the help I can get.   Recently there is a host on the Christian Station that I don't particularly care for. I feel like she talks a bit too much and the things she says are not usually positive and uplifting things, which is why I like that station in the first place.   One day as I was feeling snarky towards that lady, I thought, “What am I doing? Change the station!” I get to listen to whatever music I want.   This can obviously be metaphorical and can be applied to relationships, marriages, and jobs. Why are you staying somewhere you are miserable? Why?    Reach down and change the channel. You have the ability to make changes and control your life!   How to Get Involved: Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

She Rules #58, How Can You Expect To Make The Team If You Don't Even Try Out   This one comes from a conversation I had with my son. They offer such great life lessons, although it's sometimes uncomfortable when they hold that mirror up to our faces. My older boys are bigger dudes who are definitely built for sports, and they have often tried out for teams though they don't always make the cut. In 8th grade, everyone makes the team, but my youngest is going into 9th grade, and not everyone who tries out makes the team at that level.     This has discouraged him and he was so scared of not making the team that he almost didn't even try out. Oftentimes the lack of certainty can paralyze a person and cause them not to act in the face of fear.   I 100% know my boys will be better men because of the times that they have tried and failed. We've used these times as opportunities to learn to deal with failure. Opportunities to learn to cope and to improve performance.

I'm a very observant person, but I can stand back and see more than most do.  I love it especially when I am traveling.   I was in the airport in Denver coming back from Cabo and I walked up to a Chinese place and I was ready for some noodles and steak.  There were a decent amount of people standing to the side and I was not really sure if they were in a line or not.  I looked at the staff, watching to see what they were doing, looking for any sign of which line I needed to be in.   I reached out to someone behind the counter to ask where I could stand.  What ended up happening was that the people gathered in the line were wondering the same thing I was.   The only problem was, that none of them had placed their order.  No one had confirmed where the line started.  In this episode, I outline why it's important to take control of being in charge and responsible for knowing what's going on.  We can't rely on the masses to help direct us.  Verify and don't be a sheep.  It could save you countless minutes of your life waiting in line.    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

The come-up is never easy.  There are people who will use you and shit on you on the way up.  When they shit on you, say "Thank you for the fertilizer."  When this happens, I always think about how I'm going to process this and move forward.  Back when I started driving the insurance agency in a new direction, I started bringing on new relationships.  What happens is, there are people who have gotten me to build their business, make relationships, and when I stopped being useful to them, they would find a way to step over me.  They found a way to hijack the relationships and cut me out.   Usually, this was because of pride, ego, greed, or a combination of all 3.  I believe in karma.  What comes around goes around.  Instead of being outraged, I sit quietly and watch it all unfold.  At some point in the future, I would've moved on and become successful once again doing the same thing for someone else.  They later realize they weren't the magic sauce keeping the relationship together and they'd come back.  Instead of being vindictive, I would just smile.  They tried to get back in my circle or get close to my relationships by apologizing to me, and it was only because they wanted something from me.  If somebody cuts you, beat them by becoming healthy, happy, successful, and prosperous.  Then, you kindly say, "Thanks for the fertilizer."  I'm doing fine without you.  Good luck!    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

What are you really chasing in your life?  We're all chasing something.   I've gone back over the last 20 years of my life and now that I've lived 45 years of my life, I started to review what I was chasing at each stage.  Everything you've been chasing for the entirety of your life has led you to where you are.  How often have you stopped to ask yourself, "What am I really chasing?"  10 years ago, I was chasing freedom.  For the longest time, I was chasing the next deal, the next paycheck.  When Real Estate dried up for me back in 2008, as a Realtor, I had a 25% chance of selling and making some money.  This was my hard lesson when I got burned up, chewed up, and spit out.  At the end of my Real Estate career, I started evaluating what I really wanted.  When I stepped into my husband's insurance agency, I decided to chase freedom.  What does that mean?  I would run it, build a team, and set my family up to be financially free.  I've accomplished that goal at 45.  Everything is possible.  But you have to keep asking yourself, "What am I chasing now?  Do it more often, get to living the life you want instead of waiting for it to appear.  It's already within you.  It's here.  All you have to do is access it.    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

I don't believe that fearless exists.  As human beings, we are naturally going to be afraid of things no matter what we say.  It's programmed into our amygdala to constantly be searching for threats.  It's where our fight-or-flight mechanism lives in our bodies.  It's a blessing from the Creator and when I hear people say they are "Fearless," I know there's no such thing.  When I took the stage for my first speaking engagement, I was nervous and there was a little bit of fear, despite the fact I was well-prepared.  When I first started doing my first podcast episode, I was nervous and there was a little bit of fear.  Nothing is ever going to go as planned.  It's part of human nature.  Society wants you to buy into fearlessness, but the truth is it doesn't exist.  We are worried about judgment, failure and you're going to feel the feelings.  Move through them.  Accept your humanit and know that it's okay.    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

A couple of weeks ago, I was in Dallas and my eldest is learning how to drive.  He reminded me to speed up because the speed limit was higher than I was driving.  I thanked him for his feedback and reminded him you can only drive as fast as the car in front of us.  This is great sybmolism for business as well as it pertains to social media.  If the person you're following is going slow, you're going to go slow.  If you think you need to be in a different lane, move into the middle lane.   If that's not fast enough for you, move into the faster lane.  But if you slow down while you're in the fast lane, you've got to be prepared to move.  If you get into the fast lane and are stuck behind the slow truck, you have to slide into the slower lane temporarily so you can bypass the slower traffic in the fast lane and zip around in front of them.  At the end of the day, you'll only be able to go as fast as the car in front of you.  Follow people who are not simply using the highways of business and social media to go through the motions, but rather, follow those who are moving fast and making things happen.    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

When you show up, you better show the F#ck Up!   We go to different networking events.  Date nights with our spouse.  Games for the kids.  We have so much going on in our lives and we let so much become a priority, but we don't show the f#ck up!  We half-ass show up for our spouses, our children, for our communities, and ourselves and we are not showing the f#ck up!  In this episode, Jessica shares a story about how she missed a time with her trainer by 30 minutes.  The headache she had was slowing her down and she was due at an event that night for women of her Facebook group.  In this episode, Jessica shares how she shows up when she's in the room.  She does this to help pour into everyone in her group.  Makeup is done.  Hair is on point.  And she's always determined to show up by simply centering herself.  This requires setting the attention, intention, and her mood so she can help others feel received.  Think about all of the times you haven't been showing up in your life.  There's probably a list of things you could be doing better, like Showing the F#ck up!    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

"What will they say when I die?"  Everyone has asked this about themselves.  When you think about this, it usually comes at various times in your life.  In Jessica's 20s, she used to think about this.  But this modified when she got married to her husband.  "What will he say when I die?"  In the last 6 or 7 years, Jessica really refined the "they" in her life and caring what they will think when I die.  The only people or opinions she cares about are the ones of her 2 teen boys and her husband.  When she realized this, she started making decisions differently in her: Brand Busines Business Relationships And her family When Jessica does something, she thinks about every single thing she does be it in real life or on social media.  Take a moment and consider who is important to consider when you think about what others will think about when you die.  Chances are, there are not that many "theys" you'll care about, except for the important ones.   How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

There are 2 types of people: Conversations starters or conversation starters.  In this episode, Jessica shares a recent experience she had.  There are people who will walk into a conversation with nothing to bring.  Nothing to offer.  Nothing to ask to keep the conversation going.  Here's the secret to being the ultimate conversation starter:  Ask other people questions about them.  Introduce yourself.  Ask them questions about themselves.  "What part of the city do you live in?"  "Do you have any pets?"  "What's your favorite drink?"  "Do you have any children?"  I don't stop the conversation until they ask a question about me.  This is a great way to break the ice.  Nine out of 10 times, people are going to be uncomfortable in those situations.  Always turn the questions right back to them to keep the conversations going.  If you're going to make a party or engagement memorable and be the memorable person in the room, you have to be a conversation starter, not a stopper.  Remember, people love talking about themselves.  Help them.  And they'll talk about you!    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

Life is a game.  Some would disagree, but if you look closely at the human condition, there are things you will find in games.  One of my favorite games is Candy Crush Saga. It's not just a game to me, it's an obsession.  There are twists turns and everything that comes with critical thinking, timed skill, and ultimately, choices.  Some require the sacrifice of time, money, or both.  Candy Crush Saga has so many lessons and tests within the game. It's not simply about winning.  It's about self-control and your ability to stave off the dopamine hit we're conditioned to acquire or make choices that strengthen our resolve by abstaining from certain actions.  Here are the lessons I learned while playing Candy Crush Saga:  Lesson 1: Define objectives before taking action. Taking a moment to understand the goal before making moves is essential in the game and in life. Lesson 2: Avoid rushing and make deliberate decisions. Despite no time limit, hurrying often leads to mistakes. Slowing down, being intentional, and making educated choices yield better outcomes. Lesson 3: Utilize earned resources and favors. In the game, players earn power-ups and currency through gameplay, but they hesitate to use them. Similarly, in life, utilizing the resources, relationships, and opportunities earned or given can lead to success. Applying these lessons can bring clarity, purpose, and better decision-making in various aspects of life. Remember to have fun and look for the lessons and experience in everything you do.  Obsessions always bring lessons.    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

What's the last thing to grow on a fruit tree? It's the fruit. What's the last part of a flower to grow? It's the actual bloom of the flour. So for me, I am seeing fruit coming from, literally fruit, coming from relationships that I started harvesting a couple of years ago. Things that I started writing years ago, uh, habits that I started implementing years ago was people like, well, how can you. Make a post on social media. Facebook can get so much interaction, right? It's because I've been doing it for years. It's because I've been planting the seeds, planting the roots for years. So here's what I would like for you to do. I'd like for you to take a real hard look at where you are. What you're working towards, I need you to ask yourself, what do you need to be planting or doing today that you know will not bear fruit for at least two years? A bloom will not come from what you're doing for two years, but if you just keep doing it, doing it, doing it, you know that the good will come from it. I remember a famous quote by Garth Brooks, one of my favorite Country artists and when he shared how he was considered an overnight success, he said, "It only took me 10 years." Remember that as you get clear on what you want and be extremely protective on where you plant your seeds.   The most important part is to start planting today.    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

Our futures are not determined by fate, they're determined by our daily habits.  Seven years ago, when I left Pharmaceutical sales and into my husband's insurance agency, I had to make posting to social media part of my daily habits in order to help grow the business.  When it comes to daily, habits and what we do, we can either move ourselves closer or farther away from our goals.  I had to have a hard conversation with myself about my daily habits and what they were around:  Health  Attempting to outrun a bad diet What I was putting in my body.  I was trying to get my body into a state of Ketosis.  It's one of the most amazing things you could do for your body. Your body starts to burn fat for energy.   No more burning glucose or muscle.  It takes your brain fog out of circulation.  I had a tremendous amount of energy with no crash.  I was using my body more.  Had mental clarity and mental willpower to come up with plans for dieting and exercising.  The snacking and mindless eating went away.  Within 2 months, I dropped over 20 pounds with no restrictive diets.  I was making better food choices.  Because I drank those key tones, I was able to reset my body and my daily habits.  It wasn't forced.  I know it can be easy to change your daily habits, but it's not such a big thing when you break it down by doing simply daily tasks.  If you want to reset your body, reach out to me and I'll get you a 10-day pack and you can join the 10-day key tones challenge.    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

Some people have bucket lists.   It's a list of things you want to do before you "kick the bucket," but there's a problem with that.  We don't know when we're going to die.   After going through the pandemic of Covid-19, Jessica decided to rethink some of the things she actually believes.   One of them was her thoughts on the concept of bucket lists.   Why would you wait until later?  We can't just simply dream.   We have to be doers.  If there's something you want to do, you have to do it!  Dream as much as you can, but be a bigger doer than a dreamer.  Most people allow timing, finances, and everything else to get in the way of achieving their dreams.  If there's something you want to do, write it down, say it out loud and reverse engineer it.  #RiseAbove    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

As a child, Jessica grew up like most people wondering what people would say about us.  The previous iteration of Jessica's life led her to becoming a Realtor, and eventually a Pharmaceutical rep.  But 7 years ago, something told her to work with her husband's successful insurance agency.  Jessica had the thought to use social media to help grow the relationships and the business.  You know people are going to talk about you whether you're doing something right or doing something wrong, so you might as well give them something to talk about.  Jessica ended up going to her family and explained to them they needed to be doing things to give people something to talk about like going to restaurants, doing fun activities, sports, and going on vacation.  She wanted to be able to post about things people would talk about.   Through how you position yourself on social media, you are able to control the conversations people have about you.   I control the content.  Share what I choose to post with intention and a certain direction.   I talk about referrals without asking.  I talk about how I supercharge my body for rapid weight loss.  I also talk about the She Rules content and make sure people have plenty of ammunition to have something to talk about.  The name of the game these days is to give them something to talk about.   If they're not talking about you, you have something to worry about!    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

We all have our favorite things to wear.  For Jessica, it's hoodies. She loves them.  Last year, she bought Jaws hoodies for the whole family in celebration of the Jaws movie Anniversary.  She ordered them and it took 3 weeks for them to arrive. The sizes were off and the whole intention behind it didn't work out very well.  Jessica shares this because she loves sharks.   In this episode, Jessica talks about the comparisons between the nature of types of people and sharks.  You can choose to be a baby shark just swimming along and enjoying the current, or more like the fierce man-eating shark on a rapid pursuit of the day's meal.  There are two ways to live in this world and one of the questions you have to ask in life and business is: Are you going to keep moving slowly like the baby shark or keep it moving like a shark in pursuit of today's meal, aka goals, dreams, aspirations?  You have a choice every day of how you're going to live..... So, what is it or you............Baby Shark or Jaws?    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

These days with technology and social media, it's really easy for the eye to wander onto what someone else is posting, doing, or who they're being.  This can create moments of distress, and anxiety, leaving you to feel like you're not doing enough to "Keep up with the Joneses." Imposter syndrome sets in, sometimes depression, and passive-aggressive behavior, and this can lead to other things like rage, and seeking outside validation.  The best way to combat this is to block out distractions.  Don't worry about what other people are doing.  If you feel powerless or like you're not where you're supposed to be, dig deep, learn more, and then implement.  Get in touch with the inner child who still daydreams from time to time in the middle of an important meeting, and then do that thing you were thinking about.   Key Lessons Stop comparing yourself to others on social media. Learn from the successes of others and put your own spin on them. Unlock and unleash your own potential by joining the She Rules movement. The best way out from being stuck is to focus inward, develop some skills, love yourself, and then turn your focus outwards to help others.   It's liberating.  If you would like help with this, join everyone waiting for you at www.SheRules.com    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

Jessica Stroud was not born with a silver spoon in her mouth.  Opulence and wealth were not part of her life. It was the opposite.  It was poverty that would cripple most people these days. But she had a dream and she had no idea how she was going to achieve it.  In this episode, Jessica talks about the importance of dreaming so big that it seems impossible or improbable.  Key Lessons: It is possible to rise from poverty to financial freedom and success. We should challenge our own perception of what is impossible and instead focus on what may just be improbable. We can achieve great things when we push our boundaries and refuse to limit ourselves.  No matter what you think, dream big and then get to work.  More than what you can imagine shows up when you least expect it!    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

These days, most people are horrible at having conversations. It's the truth.   You would think with all the technology and modes of communicating, that everyone would be the equivalent of a PhD in Communications communicator, but that's not the case.  There's this invisible veil or unspoken code of conduct that it is impolite or offensive to ask questions.  Verify.  To be curious about where people have been, what they believe, where they're from, or what they like.  If you ever find yourself getting stuck on what to ask people in conversations, talk about them.  Ask them where they've traveled.  Talk about sports.  Do they have family?  Ask them about their hobbies or how they got into the field of work they're in.  There are no rules of engagement as it pertains to having conversations.  You simply have to do it and care enough to unravel undiscovered mysteries.  That's where it all begins.  Communication is one of the best gifts every given to us by the creator, God, and the Universe.   Put it to good use.   You're missing out on the rest of the world if you don't.    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

Let's be honest.  You won't be everyone's cup of coffee.  Not everyone is going to gel with the way you are, who you are, how you do things, or why you do things.  It's okay.  Your DNA is unique to keep you from being like everyone, but also still have a cooperative spirit in order to contribute to the success of the masses.  Here are a couple of quick tips:  It's okay to say no to an opportunity if it's too much to take on. Always consider how you can offer value to the situation.

When you get on any plane, there's a demonstration that's done as you tax to take off.  In this demonstration, you'll hear them advise, "in the event of an emergency, an oxygen mask will deploy.  Put yours on first and then your child's and others who need help."  There's life lesson in this for all of us.  If your needs aren't taken care of first, you won't be able to help others.  This episode outlines a few simple things:  We must prioritize our own needs over others. We must take responsibility for our own well-being. We must invest in ourselves through reading and training. Don't be afraid to take care of yourself, first because the truth is, other people are doing the very same thing for themselves.  Once your needs are met, you can decide at that point if you choose to help others.  It's common-sense living.  You have one life.  Live it well!    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

One of the biggest challenges in life is breaking through the poor programming we received in school.  We're taught myths. Old thought patterns. Frameworks that are no longer effective in today's society.  You can't wait for other people to make you happy, or bring you joy and fulfillment into your life.  Are you waiting for someone to bring you flowers?  If you are waiting for any of these things, it's time to stop.  Break the frame of this thought pattern.  You'll be sadly disappointed.  The truth is, most people do not think of you like you may think.  They don't care what you're doing, where you're going, or where you've been, and once you understand this, you'll start living a happier life.  If you're waiting for anyone to make you happy, life is going to pass you by.  Find things that make you happy.  Give them to yourself.  You'll be glad you did and save time not waiting on people to fill the cup you should be filling in your own life.    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

If you're a high performer, you know the frustrations that come with not being able to see what the score is.   It's unnerving when you're not on a good team.   Sometimes the challenge is not knowing how to assess whether or not it's a winning team or not.   You can have the best spirits, teamwork, and clients, but if you're not profitable in your business, or aren't able to enjoy the quality of life you've built for yourself, it might be time to look at the goals you've set for yourself.  You need a scoreboard where you can see it.  Outline your specific goals around each area of your life.  Some things will need to be removed from your scoreboard so you can actually hit the targeted goals you've outlined.  Hit them daily, weekly, monthly, and if it takes you, yearly.   Do them consistently and with frequency.   There's a formula to hitting your target.  And when you ace this, they'll show up on the scoreboard!    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.

There are many times we get into relationships be they friendships, work, or even romance and we find that one person.  They feel safe.  We learn everything we can about them and then we attach ourselves to that person.  We go "all in" because we've found fulfillment and we put everything into our lives into one person.  The truth is, you can't be too dependent on one person.  In this episode, Jessica takes a deep dive into what this means as it applies to becoming too dependent on one person and this lesson started with something that happened in business.  There was one person that was sending quite a few referrals in the beginning, but the relationship came with a lot of drama.   Jessica shares how this can be a toxic situation including someone leveraging the fact they're sending you referrals and taking advantage of you.  Sometimes they treat you as if you're cheating on them if you're working with other people who happen to be sending you referrals.  Jessica talks about the importance of establishing boundaries, communicating differently, and pushing out any and all negativity.  If you're encountering this currently in your life and your business and you feel trapped, you'll want to listen in closely.    How to Get Involved:  Listen in as She RULES movement leader Jessica Stroud interviews incredible Entrepreneurs.
