This podcast episode delves into the concept of being intentional in our daily decisions and actions, emphasising the importance of micro moments of intention. I explain how our nervous system often defaults to reactive behaviour, which can hinder our ability to achieve our larger goals. By introducing the "one breath rule"—a simple practice of taking a breath before making decisions—listeners can cultivate a more thoughtful and intentional approach. I invite you to reflect on your own intentions and consider how small, intentional choices can lead to greater alignment with their personal and professional goals.Key Points:Being intentional in micro moments can significantly improve decision-making and outcomes. The one breath rule helps shift from reactive to responsive decision-making processes. Slowing down to find intention is crucial for aligning actions with long-term goals. Practicing intentionality in small decisions reinforces larger goals and impactful outcomes. Micro moments of awareness can transform how we engage with our daily choices. Repetition of intentional practices embeds them into our way of being over time. Head to my site for more info or to get in touch - saljefferies.com

Welcome, 7-Figure Educator! In today's episode, we're going to explore the powerful concept of redefining the storms in our lives. Most moments of disruption often precede significant transformation, and in this episode, I'll describe the four types of storms as outlined in Lalah Delia's book, "Vibrate Higher Daily": the desert, the mountain, the ocean, and the fog. Each of these storms represents a unique phase in our personal and professional growth journey. Throughout this episode, I'll be sharing some personal insights and highlighting the essential qualities of clarity, resilience, and self-trust that are crucial when navigating these storms. I hope that my experiences and lessons will resonate with you with the challenges you face, offering both inspiration and guidance on how to embrace transformation with optimism and determination. Join me today as we redefine and face these storms head-on in your life and emerge from them even stronger. Tune in to this episode, and let's navigate these storms together! KEY POINTS:  - Being on the other side of these storms leads to transformation and helps you to keep pressing forward   - Different types of storms that we may experience in our lives:  a. The Desert: A place of isolation that forces individuals to get clear on who they are by eliminating distractions and finding silence.  b. The Mountain: Represents obstacles that help raise awareness, spiritual resilience, and perspective. Climbing these mountains builds endurance and resilience.  c. The Ocean: Life happens in tides and waves. The ocean pushes individuals to higher levels of balance and self-control. It can be a purifying and restoring experience.  d. The Fog: A state of confusion and feeling stuck. It's a moment when individuals need to stop and seek clarity to move forward  -  Disruption often serves as a catalyst for your transformation and growth and forces you to make choices, find clarity, and redefine your paths  - Trust yourself and your abilities when facing difficult decisions and challenges QUOTES: "I know that there are so many of you who just feel yourself spinning in the tornado, and it feels really personal. It feels very overwhelming. And it's hard to see on the other side of it. And I wanted to give you the language to help you reframe the moment, to help you reframe the opportunity that you have to take that moment by its horns and actually be able to control the transformation that is waiting for you." - Dr. Erica Jordan Thomas "Now that we're at the million dollar mark and we're pushing our way to eight figures. That system, that partnership isn't going to work anymore, which forces us to redefine it. And it becomes our ocean. It forces us to restore, it forces us to find self balance, it forces us to purify right where we might be in the tidal wave of the 7-figure dissonance but the benefit of that and now we have to break down in order to build up and set us up for our next milestone of eight figures." - Dr. Erica Jordan Thomas RESOURCES: Dr. Erica Jordan-Thomas  IG | @e_jordanthomas LinkedIn | @erica-jordan-thomas-ed-l-d-86314764  Facebook | @EJTConsultingLLC  Join 7-Figure Educator LIVE: The only 3-day event for Black educators that will your education expertise into a 7-figure education consulting business!  Join the #GetLaunchEDConsulting Facebook Group - Your hub for aspiring and seasoned education consultants.

We as people don't realize when we are holding to the past it is keeping us from achieving anything and we can't enjoy the present moment. Today's episode Key Points: Being gentle with yourself - When you starting to let things in the past go you will start blaming yourself, but you shouldn't it's not your fault. Start showing yourself kindness and compassion. Accept that other people may not apologize - You shouldn't want to wait for an apologize from someone because some people won't even feel the need to apologize. Its a process and your will feel hurt but if you want to let things go then you don't need to wait for an apologize from that one person. Engage in self care - When you are hurting you need to practice self care and this don't mean just have spa days, binge watch your favorite Tv show but it also includes setting boundaries for yourself, saying no to the things you don't want to do or that make you uncomfortable, doing things that bring you joy and comfort plus listening to your own needs. Surround yourself with people who will fill you up - We think we can heal on our own all the time but in fact we can't in some ways. We have to have love ones or or people who we can be happy when they come around you because you will soon how much you are changing.

Hone your intuition through being true to yourself! Often I am asked how to fine tune messages from intuition so that they are quickly and easily recognized. My simplest answer is to be true to yourself.  Key Points: Being true to yourself means trusting yourself over anything and anyone else.  Ask yourself focused questions: "Do I like who I am with this person, in this situation, or where I am headed?" Keep it simple don't over analyze, recognize quickly, step back and see what else intuition brings you.  Relax, take the time and watch for subtle messages that let you know you are ignoring the path intuition is lighting ahead for you.  When it comes down to it the simplest path, don't overthink too much; expect intuition to constantly and consistently give you directions. All you need to do is pay attention and stop for a moment and listen. Until next time, keep it simple, be at ease with yourself, trust your intuition with light the way.

May Busch: How to Get Promoted May Busch is the former Chief Operating Officer of Morgan Stanley Europe. She was promoted 10 times during her 24-year career at Morgan Stanley. Today, she's an executive coach and mentor, helping professionals overcome (often hidden) obstacles, advance to the next level in their careers, and reach their full potential. May is the author of Accelerate: 9 Capabilities to Achieve Success at Any Career Stage and the creator of the How to Get Promoted Course. In this conversation, May and I discuss the key principles that professionals should consider when advocating for their next promotion. We explore a few of the key mistakes that some people rely on — and how to do better through your track record, business case, and future thinking. Plus, May shares some key tactics that will help you get visibility on what more senior leaders are thinking. Key Points Being a culture carrier is a wonderful place to be in an organization, but it’s not enough for promotion. Threatening to leave can work in some cases, but it’s not laying the groundwork for long-term trust. Your track record should include your accomplishments, experiences, strengths, and skills. Others who are close to you can often help you be more objective on what these are. Ultimately a promotion is a business decision.

May Busch: How to Get Promoted May Busch is the former Chief Operating Officer of Morgan Stanley Europe. She was promoted 10 times during her 24-year career at Morgan Stanley. Today, she's an executive coach and mentor, helping professionals overcome (often hidden) obstacles, advance to the next level in their careers, and reach their full potential. May is the author of Accelerate: 9 Capabilities to Achieve Success at Any Career Stage and the creator of the How to Get Promoted Course. In this conversation, May and I discuss the key principles that professionals should consider when advocating for their next promotion. We explore a few of the key mistakes that some people rely on — and how to do better through your track record, business case, and future thinking. Plus, May shares some key tactics that will help you get visibility on what more senior leaders are thinking. Key Points Being a culture carrier is a wonderful place to be in an organization, but it’s not enough for promotion. Threatening to leave can work in some cases, but it’s not laying the groundwork for long-term trust. Your track record should include your accomplishments, experiences, strengths, and skills. Others who are close to you can often help you be more objective on what these are. Ultimately a promotion is a business decision. Help more senior leaders make the business case for why you are the right decision. Perceived risks about you might be fair or not. Regardless, responding in a matter-of-face manner to concerns is more likely to help you alleviate them.

On this episode of the HyperFast Agent Podcast, host Dan Lesniak speaks with Peter Applegate, an inside sales, turned outside sales agent. Listen in as Peter discusses what he's done to make that transition, the differences between the two roles, and what you need to do in order to succeed in each. Episode Highlights:  Peter joined the Keri Shull team in January, 2016, as an inside sales agent (ISA). Peter had been interested in real estate for a while, and was attracted to the consistent salary associated with being an ISA, instead of the “hunt what you kill” aspect of being an agent. Peter transitioned to an outside sales agent (OSA) in February, 2020. Dan explains the difference between an ISA and OSA within his organization. Being an ISA isn't difficult to figure out, but it takes consistency in time spent calling and learning how to overcome objections. Dan and Peter outline some of the pros and cons of being an ISA. A guaranteed base salary is a huge pro of being an ISA for Peter. Dan thinks an additional pro of being an ISA is skill building due to the repetition of calls, and learning how to engage with potential clients. Not having to do open houses, show homes, complete paperwork at all hours are other benefits of being an ISA versus an OSA. Peter thinks the biggest challenge to being an ISA is not knowing what to say. Figuring out the client's pain points, and how to solve them, is the best way to overcome objections. Peter describes the most difficult client objections he encountered, and how he overcame them. Transitioning from an ISA to an OSA made Peter more critical of how the ISA team pre-qualifies potential clients. Being able to land off-market properties is a great solution for overcoming objections for both ISAs and OSAs. Keeping clients engaged is a very different process for ISAs and OSAs. ISA's have to keep them engaged for a short period of time, while OSA's need to stay in touch with their clients until the deal is complete. Peter's biggest challenge is trying to stay in front of his clients whose buying process is more drawn out. The higher income potential of an OSA is the major appeal to Peter. Peter's biggest piece of advice for a new ISA is to not get dejected, and be able to laugh stuff off. Peter's biggest piece of advice for a new OSA is to have a plan. Peter's biggest challenge as an agent was getting hung up on the details. He enjoys snowboarding in his down time. In 5 years, Peter sees himself running a team within the organization.  3 Key Points: Being an ISA isn't difficult, but it takes consistency in time spent calling and learning how to overcome objections. Consistent effort over time will produce results. Figure out where your business is going to come from, and focus your energy accordingly.

During this episode of the Lab Coat Agents Podcast, host Jeff Pfitzer speaks with the Owner of Carrot, Trevor Mauch. Carrot specializes in helping entrepreneurs, real estate agents included, generate online leads so that they can focus on the activities and work that truly give them energy and freedom! Episode Highlights:  Carrot helps entrepreneurs, mainly real estate agents, save energy by generating online leads. A ton of investor clients are real estate agents, which led Carrot to expand and explode into the real estate market. Marketing makes it hard for entrepreneurs to get freedom and can make them feel trapped. Trevor’s parents showed him that you can create your own job, but that didn’t mean he wanted to. One of Trevor’s college professors taught Business Law through real estate, and that led Trevor to enter the real estate game. Conversion-rate optimization helped Trevor turn all those leads from his website into business. Income still comes into Trevor’s blog and he hasn’t even touched it in over 7 years. Advertising, course creation, and publishing were all business opportunities that came out of Trevor’s website. Not doing the work that gave him energy made a lot of money, but inevitably led to burnout. Trevor restructured his business and life so that he could do the work and activities that give him energy. You don’t have to let limiting beliefs hold you back from building a business that you truly enjoy and gives you real freedom. List out everything that you don’t like about your business right now; find the opposite of those things. Entrepreneurs tend to glorify the grind, but that’s not the real dream. Without vision, the grind is just grinding for grinding sake. Create structure around your business so that you can delegate those draining tasks while doing what gives you energy. This is how you’ll know when you’ve found those activities that will give you energy. It’s going to be hard to give away the activities that don’t give you energy but do make a lot of money. Falling asleep at the wheel with his family in the car in the mountains forced Trevor to change his mindset about grinding. The hamster wheel marketing method will work, but as soon as you get off, it will slow down. The evergreen method of marketing allows work that you do today to continue to bring in money for years to come. Consistency and predictability are the goals when creating organic long-term marketing content. Evergreen content for real estate agents should be very clear about your “why” and the value that you bring to your clients. You must be as specific as possible with your locations and niches on your location-page content. To become an authority, create videos where you say 500-800 words, turn the transcript into an article, and post them together. Turn hamster wheel content into evergreen content on your website, and earn for years. 3 Key Points: Being an entrepreneur means creating your own job, but it could also mean an unbalanced work-life balance. Trevor saw this first-hand with his entrepreneurial parents. True freedom is being able to leave your business for a month without checking in at all and knowing that it is growing the entire time. Entrepreneurs can be quick to give up, usually opting into the hamster wheel method of marketing. If they invest their time into the evergreen method, entrepreneurs can build a pool of content that will work on its own for years and years.

During this episode of the Lab Coat Agents Podcast, host Jeff Pfitzer speaks with Jake Stenziano & Gino Barbaro about their successful multi-family investment portfolio. They share how they created financial independence in just a few short years by becoming real estate investors. Listen for tips for how you can take advantage of this opportunity.  Episode Highlights:  Jake Stenziano was in a corporate grind as a pharmaceutical rep when he saw the potential in real estate. He started getting mentored by Gino Barbaro and they began looking at deals together. They got a 25-unit deal and never looked back. Gino ran a family restaurant for 20 years. Everything shifted for him when his father passed away in 2008. He knew he wanted to create passive income to support his large family. Gino decided to pursue multi-family units for the cash flow, tax benefits, appreciation, and cycle resilience. Multi-family units address a basic human need. You just have to start. Once you start you have the clarity and you have the accountability. Jake points out that many times in single-family residential real estate the agent is a salesperson. It's different in the multi-family space. As the buyers they have to prove their credibility and why they're going to close the deal. Partnerships multiply and can help you blow things up a lot more. With multi-family spaces, start where you're comfortable. Economies of scale make multi-family attractive. As a real estate agent, you have opportunities to invest. The first thing that you need to realize is that the gold is in the assets. You buy, you refinance the money out, and then you continue to buy. As long as you continue to buy the game goes on because you keep accumulating depreciation to wipe out your taxes. Buy right, manage right, finance right. Many people start out with syndication. The way to be successful in any business is to think of yourself as a farmer. Plant the seed and take care of it. Jake reminds us that debt is a tool. Use that tool properly. They like non-recourse debt through agencies. The more you know about your potential investors, their goals, and how you can add value to them, the better. Time is on your side in multi-family. You don't lead with seller financing. You base your offer on the income approach. If the numbers don't line up, that's when seller financing can come into play.  Negotiations are all about listening. Jake explains how they put together their initial down payment for the first deal. You can get in the game if you have between $20-50k especially if you have a partner. They typically do 2-3 deals each year. Look for properties that will bring you cash flow. Buy cash flowing assets. Buy right, know how you'll manage the property, and figure out where you're getting the debt from. You have an opportunity to create massive financial independence as a real estate investor. 3 Key Points: Being a realtor puts you in an excellent position to get started with real estate investing. Multi-family is a long game, just like any other business. The key to the game is to stack assets over time.

During this episode of Tech Qualified, Tristan Pelligrino and Justin Brown chat with the Head of Marketing at Theorem, Andrew Upah. Andrew breaks down his background and discusses how Theorem’s main mission is to upend the traditional world of consulting. Andrew talks about marketing and selling consulting services to the Fortune 100 and how it’s important to add value throughout the entire customer journey. With sales cycles of six, nine months...or even years sometimes...Andrew provides some insight into what Theorem is doing to keep prospects engaged. Episode Highlights: Andrew discusses his professional work experience what brought him to Theorem (hint: opportunity strikes at any time...even when sailing around the world) Theorem builds innovative products for startups and even some of the biggest organizations in the world Theorem uses a slightly different model for building digital products - the organization calls their teams of highly experienced practitioners - “squads” Theorem has a very high price point, so sales cycles can be very long at times - sometimes 6-9 months, or even years Theorem is a 100% remote work environment, but the organization still maintains a focus on one-to-one conversations with prospects and customers Theorem often invites customers to co-present at events and other functions to help build rapport in the process One of the biggest competitors of Theorem is internal teams - teams at their prospective organizations who are driving development projects In the world of social distancing, events are no longer an option - so Theorem has looked to stand up other virtual initiatives to fill the gap                  Content generation stems from a lot of feedback and experiences with customers If Theorem could pursue a “test” marketing project, the organization would strive for more work in public relations                 Key Points: Being in the room is ideal, but no one is doing that right now. So, instead of delaying those conversations, Theorem has shifted to video conferencing. With a range of capabilities, Theorem needs to establish itself as an authority in a number of different areas. So, it has to be done over time with thought leadership content. Theorem likes to break down their services into sprints versus long, complex projects that need to be “pitched”.

Drew provides listeners with an inside look into recruiting and communication strategies, how he is able to maneuver between both of his job roles, how to train players to get their mind and body in sync to respond in game situations, and what it takes to improve timing and rhythm as a hitter.   Episode Highlights: How did Drew Saylor get involved in baseball and coaching? Drew Saylor discusses his dynamic relationship with his wife. What were some of the first things he did when he got hired? How are some of the recruiting conversations like when you are a new hire? What are the unique tasks of having two different roles within the Pittsburgh Pirates organization? How can you maximize communication for development from a macro and micro level? What are ways Drew addresses hitting issues? How is the communication successfully executed with players? How can players be trained to develop timing and rhythm? What are ways to help players learn to adjust to various situations in the moment? What are ways to get players excited about training and implementing competition into their training? Which books have had a strong impact on Drew Saylor? What are things that are done in training that his players love? Which additional resources have benefitted Drew Saylor? 3 Key Points: Being transparent and vulnerable add to being a trusted leader. Coordinators aren’t just problem fixers. They are also a higher-level form of overall support and feedback.   It’s not about trying to speed up your swing. It’s about trying to give yourself more time for your A-swing to get the contact. Tweetable Quotes: “A lot of what we’ve done is create the culture, create the relationships, and then now we are trying to build out how we view and how we evaluate our people.” – Drew Saylor (10:00) “A lot of what I’ve done as a leader is be able to go, ‘Hey I’ve failed this way. I have messed up this way. I have fallen short of the mark this way,’ and have those transparent moments.” – Drew Saylor (12:15) “For me, what I’ve tried to accomplish as a coordinator is to not lose that feel of that day-to-day.” – Drew Saylor (14:08) “One of my big goals is spending time with the hitting coaches and with the managers, and say, ‘Hey, how is the chemistry of the club? What are some of the hot spots? How can I support you?’” – Drew Saylor (17:19) “I like to think about failure as moving forward.” – Drew Saylor (19:42) “It really starts with their ability to, swing at something they can hit hard.” – Drew Saylor (22:14) (Timing) “I think that when players are not necessarily on time, or they don’t have the ability to get on time, one of the first questions that we try to ask them is, ‘When are you starting?” – Drew Saylor (33:13) “When the idea comes from within, there is more investment. But you’re also helping the player indirectly think through a batting process of their swing.”– Drew Saylor (36:25)   Resources Mentioned: Ahead of the Curve Podcast Twitter: @AOTC_podcast Linkedin: Drew Saylor Twitter: @DrewSaylor19 Books: “Thinking Fast and Slow” by Daniel Kahneman  “The Traveler’s Gift” by Andy Andrews

Are you worried about your ability to raise a normal eater, when maybe you've never been one yourself? Do you worry about raising children in larger bodies because you fear they will live a life filled with eating issues and judgment? Listen now for some suggestions for navigating this difficult part of the food peace journey. Subscribe and leave a review here in just seconds. This episode is brought to you by my PCOS summer series: Empowering Your PCOS Journey. You CAN make peace with food even with PCOS and I want to show you how. This series and our Facebook group will be with you every step of the way. Episode's Key Points: Being in a larger body in this world is HARD. From clothing choices to fitting in chairs, fat bodies face oppression EVERY day. It IS possible to prepare children for this fatphobic world by telling them that you love them at ANY size. Leslie Schilling joins to talk solutions! Our culture is one of diet culture, and so it's not uncommon to have these fears when thinking about having children. Understanding our own development around food is a HUGE step in learning how to raise children with a healthy relationship with food. Sometimes we have to recognize that the way we were raised was super disordered! Use your nutrition intuition. Be ASSERTIVE about the way you raise your children. Remember that you are your child's protector! It's a parent's responsibility to teach body peace, rather than body hate, and to stand up against other adults who perpetuate body shame. Honesty builds bridges. It's not our job to change other people's minds, but it IS our job to be assertive about our own safe spaces. Values upheld by the family help a child to be self-protective. Make sure your kid knows that THEY are in charge of their own body. Kids have to be able to FAIL. As long as they have a safe home to come back to, we can't protect them from all of diet culture all of the time Baby-led weaning: use family food to wean kids off of the bottle. We are born as experts of our own body! Show Notes: Link to subscribe to the weekly FREE Food Peace Newsletter. It is sent out every Tuesday morning and no spam EVER.

Why I've had a lifelong love affair with money. That may sound like a selfish admission, but I changed my thinking about money years ago.  My Dad was a pastor and I heard plenty about “the love of money.”  And while I respect his deep devotion, I think he misunderstood the message.  In today's podcast I want to address these questions: How can I increase my sense of “deserving” success? What is your mindset about money? How can I address my “upper limit challenge?” How can I learn to serve from a full cup? “Money and success don't change people; they merely amplify what is already there.” Will Smith [Tweet This]   Summary: In this episode, Dan Miller challenges our mindset regarding money. We are taught to love it or hate it; but, is there a healthier view that we can maintain? Our mindset are often the result of the instilled values of our upbringing and this can work to our demise. Listen as Dan shares from his personal experiences, observations, and thoughts regarding church teachings about money and how family can at times, hold us back from achieving our greatest success.
