Podcast appearances and mentions of karen skidmore

Lucinda is joined by Karen Skidmore, a business growth strategist and embodied business mentor, to discuss the importance of embracing our natural energy cycles for enhanced productivity. Karen shares her personal journey through burnout and the transformative practices she adopted, such as sound healing and embodiment, to reconnect with her body and intuition. KEY TAKEAWAYS Recognise that productivity is not solely about time management; it's about managing energy. Understanding and aligning with natural energy cycles, such as circadian rhythms and seasonal changes, can enhance productivity and well-being. Slowing down can lead to greater success. Taking time to reflect and connect with oneself can help individuals make better decisions and avoid burnout, ultimately leading to improved performance. Be aware of physical and emotional signs of stress and burnout, such as chronic fatigue, digestive issues, and emotional disconnection. Acknowledging these signs early can prevent more severe health problems. Explore various holistic practices, such as sound healing, embodiment movement, and energy tracking, to reconnect with your body and reduce stress. These practices can help individuals find balance and improve their overall health. BEST MOMENTS "Slowing down absolutely does speed our success up. It's about recognising that the way we work can negatively impact us." "We often accept burnout as a rite of passage, ignoring the red flags our bodies are telling us." "It feels like understanding yourself is a key part of productivity, not just time management." "When we start to harness our mother nature seasons, we recognise there are different energies for different tasks." "Being kind to ourselves improves our health. We cannot keep up with the productivity expectations placed upon us."

For Karen, white space and fire breaks in business and life are essential. Motivated by people potential, Karen is focusing the time that she has left on the planet to contribute economically and commercially to help people to build with purpose.   KEY TAKEAWAY “There's a real danger particularly when there are those of us who are interested in living life on purpose is that we really do fill our weeks. People who are successful attract other people who want a piece of them so it can get really crazy. Having white space in my diary, time where I haven't got appointments, is where I can actually have that quiet time.”   RESOURCES Leaning In with Alisoun Mackenzie - https://focusonwhy.libsyn.com/189-leaning-in-with-alisoun-mackenzie https://thehungerproject.org.uk/     ABOUT KAREN SKIDMORE Business mentor, strategist and author, Karen Skidmore runs a business coaching company which offers scale strategies for consultants, coaches & training providers. Her second book, True Profit Business, was a Business Book Awards Finalist in 2020, and she's also a Menopause Champion, and Ambassador for The Hunger Project.

Karen Skidmore spent her childhood moving. Every few years she was yet again the new kid, and much as she craved a special long term childhood friend, she instead learnt how to adapt to ever changing circumstances. And how well that has served her in her life. She is a woman who wanted it all, and achieved it and then reconsidered what "all" actually meant. Now working as a Business Coach, she works mainly with women in business and has a fascinating perspective. Her personal journey, struggles and successes have really shaped this powerful, strong, feminine woman. Enjoy her journey and insights.  You can find out more and access her free video series Business without Burnout on her website, and learn about her books and the amazing work she is now doing, both in business and for charity. My passion is Inspiring Women to Inspire Women.

Interview with Karen Skidmore Karen Skidmore is a growth catalyst, Business Books Awards finalist 2020, podcaster, and business mentor with 25+ years experience. Her coaching and training business, True Profit Business, uniquely combines the being-ness and doing-ness of business to grow purpose-driven businesses. She knows that most business owners are burning out trying to drive their business forward. They may look successful on the outside, but inside the founder is exhausted. True Profit Business offers business growth programmes that place you and your wellbeing at the heart of business so that you get the right business model, systems and team needed to scale both profit and impact, and be able to thrive in the process.

Karen Skidmore is a business coach and author, teaching business owners about True Profit, combining being-ness and doing-ness so you can play a bigger game without burning out.She also talks about the impact menopause can have on our work, so I was all ears on this one!

On this episode of Taboo and Lemonade, the ladies sit down with writer, podcaster and business growth coach, Karen Skidmore! They talk about business growth, managing yourself, burnout, marketing with your menstrual cycle, energy flow and much more!

Business success is often defined by following metrics such as '10X growth', '7-figure business' or 'increasing sales by 20% next quarter'. However, if you have been running your own business for a while, you will absolutely know that growth rarely shows up a steady and consistent straight-line upwards. Business growth is a flow; an up and down, a roundabout and back again. It is a rhythmical and cyclical process that is often governed by external factors, what's happening in our personal lives, our hormone fluctuations and even the moon cycle and the seasons. Welcome to True Profit Business, the podcast that dives into what it really takes to create a purposeful, playful and profitable business. In this episode, Karen Skidmore takes you through the True Profit Growth Flow and dives into the Sell Then Create process. Sell Then Create is the same strategy that Karen has used for the past 15+ years in her own business and although some people can find it quite stressful if they tend to be perfectionists (or control freaks LOL), it is one of the most effective ways of taking a new product, course, programme or service offering to market. It can save you thousands of pounds in marketing mistakes and hours of wasted copywriting and branding. You can see the Growth Flow model in detail on Page 87 of Karen's book, True Profit Business and read the full story of how she launched her GID School of Marketing and took it through the True Profit Growth Flow over the following three years in Chapter 4.

Is all your focus on sales and marketing? There's no doubt you need to be thinking and taking action on your marketing plans and sales, but too many business owners only focus on where their next clients are coming from. All their time and attention is on marketing, product creation, launches and selling. When you do this, you often find that you have designed and created an incredible penthouse business through big product launches and high ticket sale events. But when you've decided to grow and scale-up and tried to do your product launches again and again and again, you suffer from launch fatigue and often feel burnt out. When this happens, it's because you've not paid enough attention to the 10 or 20 floors below to hold up your penthouse business; the infrastructure, systems, processes and people to support your growth. Welcome to True Profit Business, the podcast that dives into what it really takes to create a purposeful, playful and profitable business. In this episode, Karen Skidmore takes you through the five True Profit Growth Pillars; Purpose, Planning, Power, Process and People. In Karen's book, True Profit Business, you can more detail of how each of these pillars in Chapter 3, as well as range of practical exercises that will help you review, reflect and plan what action to take to start building these pillars in your business. But before you go off and do these exercises, listen in to this overview of how they all work together.

Do you run on adrenaline or realise that you have taken on too many responsibilities to effectively keep up with all the stuff that needs doing in your business each week? Then perhaps you are a Dominate Do-er. Or perhaps you find yourself procrastinating or find it hard to take risks and are even fearful of becoming visible and getting yourself 'out there'? Then maybe you are a Dominate Be-er.  Welcome to True Profit Business, the podcast that dives into what it really takes to create a purposeful, playful and profitable business. In this episode, Karen Skidmore discusses the doing and being of business. Our energy and the way we react, respond and move about our day-to-day lives come from two places; our doing energy and our being energy. These polarities show up in our left and right brains, the sun and moon, yin and yang, and in our heads and hearts. The focus of most business teaching and training is very doing; marketing metrics, profit and loss accounts, digital dashboards and social algorithms. Success is often defined by numbers and taking action is always celebrated. Yes, there’s no doubt that we need to do and take action on our intentions, but too much doing energy often leads to burn out. During this episode, Karen takes you through the profiles of Dominant Do-ers and Dominate Be-ers, she tells her story of how she allowed the Dominate Do-er in her took her to the extreme and explains how you need to find a way of using both powers to enable you to play your biggest game. One is not better than the other. You need to access both to fulfil your potential and grow.

Great to talk to Karen 'True Profit' Skidmore about 'Content Creation Anxiety', a condition we discovered togetherrecently, where people struggle to commit to a regular recording and production routine.Karen's solution is to record batches, or a Netflix-style season, in one sitting and outsource the post-production to someone else. Result!We also discuss her True Profit Business book, published this very week, that can help entrepreneurs re-humanise and personalise their commercial endeavours - getting a good balance of creativity, profitability and impact.It was so good to de-hype and deconstruct the digital age of doing business with Karen, and consider what an 'elder' perspective can bring to the potentially fulfilling world of creating and running your own business.We celebrate a move away from the shaming and doubt-creating techniques of online marketing experts and a return to passion, creativity, authenticity and flow!More about Karen's new book at https://karenskidmore.com/book

 'We build the road and the road builds us.' Sometimes, writing a business book can be a profound experience of self-discovery. Karen Skidmore describes True Profit Business: How to play your bigger game without burning out, as her 'becoming' book, and what she discovered along the way has transformed her own business.  But how can an author extend that gift of deep engagement and transformation to readers most of whom, let's face it, have a stack of unread business books on their bedside table already? Karen's answer was to create a launch book club, inviting readers to engage with her and with each other over a period of six weeks and holding them accountable for taking action on what they read.  Genius, no?
