Can changing your mindset actually lead to fewer days that suck? Deborah Mallow, known as "Your Ray of Sunshine," joins Rebecca Greene to share her transformative approach to positive thinking and mindset coaching. As the founder of the Daily Decisions Positive Energy Club and creator of the "6 Steps to Fewer Days that Suck," Deborah reveals practical strategies that can help anyone reduce stress, break negative habits, and find more joy in everyday life. In this uplifting conversation, Deborah explains how our brains naturally prioritize negative information (the "caveman brain negativity bias") and offers simple but powerful techniques to retrain our thinking. From giving yourself permission to be imperfect to flipping negative self-talk into positive affirmations, Deborah's compassionate approach helps listeners understand why 91% of what we worry about never happens and how we can focus our energy on what truly matters. Key Takeaways: → Give yourself permission to say "I am enough" and "I do my best" instead of being overly self-critical - this simple mindset shift can transform your daily happiness. → Our brains seek patterns and tend to prioritize negative information over positive; with practice, we can retrain our minds to focus on positive patterns instead. → Taking a pause before reacting to stressful situations helps break the "domino effect" on negative emotions and prevents regret later. → Procrastination creates unnecessary stress - breaking tasks into small, manageable steps and celebrating each completion builds momentum and confidence. → Instead of being jealous of others' achievements, be curious about what positive changes you can make in your own life and what opportunities might be around the corner. Quotes from Deborah: "Comfort zone isn't comfortable. The repetitive patterns we fall into might feel safe, but they're actually keeping us stuck and preventing growth." "We cause ourselves stress. It becomes a pattern that develops over time, and we need to give ourselves permission to stop it, to take a step back and not go there."

As the Senior Retirement Strategist, Glenn Dial is responsible for overseeing the firm's strategic planning for the US-defined contribution (DC) channel, which is responsible for Investment Strategies, Thought Leadership, and Tools to help develop customized solutions for retirement plan intermediaries and their clients.In this episode, Eric and Glenn Dial discuss:Surveying employees about lifetime incomeThe next step in investigating Control Versus Maximizing IncomeThe unavoidable drawback Key Takeaways:Give out a simple employee survey asking a few questions centered around guaranteed lifetime income, and if they are interested in getting that for themselves. Insurance products can get a little complex, so ask some follow-up questions to determine what direction you should go with that individual. Do your due diligence, whether you are an advisor or a plan sponsor. Look at the products that are available and figure out which products are a good fit for your employee population based on their wants, needs, and demographics. An insurance product either provides control for policyholders or maximizes income at the cost of the policy holder yielding control of the assets to the company. If you know the answer to where a product sits in those two categories, then you'll know just about everything else about that product. While it is possible to technically get some liquidity while still having a higher guaranteed income, the liquidity gained will not be very ideal. For example, if you'd like to change your mind, they might give only a small portion of the capital back. “Think about Income America as a way to ensure your target date fund the same way you'd buy homeowners insurance to insure your house - you insure [them] against catastrophic events.” - Glenn DialConnect with Glenn Dial:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/glenndial/ Email: glenn_dial@americancentury.com Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/ Phone: (940)20248-4800 Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/

“Podcasting is about showing up and being real. Embrace imperfection, for that's where authenticity shines.” In the life of a busy professional, finding time for personal pursuits such as starting and maintaining a podcast journey can often seem like a distant dream.  Furthermore, balancing work commitments with family obligations is already challenging. However, it must be recognized that podcasting can coexist with our hectic schedules; while providing an invaluable avenue for self-expression, networking, and skill development. It can be an extension of a person's professional journey and serve as a guide for everyone wanting to take the same path.   Moreover, one of the greatest enemies of venturing on this journey is the pursuit of perfection. Many busy professionals fall into the trap of striving for flawless production. But while it's natural for us to do our best with the things we do, it's important to remember that perfection is often an unattainable goal. Hence, we must realize that imperfection is not a flaw but a part of the genuine human experience. Consequently, professionals entering the podcasting world need to understand that they will make mistakes, face doubts, and encounter moments of self-criticism. However, it's during these times that they must embrace imperfections, value flexibility, and believe that everyone has a unique story to tell.   In this solo episode, we will learn about the art of podcasting and how it can be successfully integrated into the life of a busy professional. With over 2.5 years of dedicated podcasting, Dr. Derrick shares invaluable insights on navigating the world of podcasting while juggling the responsibilities of being a husband, father, coach, and orthopedic surgeon. He emphasizes the importance of authenticity, dispels the misconception of perfection in podcasting, and encourages aspiring podcasters not to be overly critical of themselves. His journey is a testament to the power of showing up, the value of building a community, and consistently delivering valuable content to your audience. Hence, it helps us to see that our unique voices and stories have the potential to make a meaningful impact in the world of podcasting.   “Don't take yourself too seriously. You're going to make mistakes, you're going to doubt yourself, criticize yourself, but remember that the world needs your voice and authenticity.” – Dr. Derrick Burgess   Topics Covered: (00:02:05) Don't take yourself too seriously (00:03:39) Don't try to be perfect (00:04:32) You versus You (00:05:52) Be flexible (00:07:51) Automate and delegate (00:10:27) How to build your community (00:11:25) Believe in yourself   Key Takeaways:  “Give yourself some grace and know that you're not going to always be perfect. Don't try to be perfect.” – Dr. Derrick Burgess “When you're able to get ahead, get ahead.” – Dr. Derrick Burgess “You have to be able to automate your systems to be able to get guests scheduled and release the episode. Those are all things that you need to learn about, but that need to be automated. It's impossible to do all of those tasks by yourself and delegate.” – Dr. Derrick Burgess “Building a community allows you to have access to more people and it allows you to have more meaning behind what you're doing on your podcast.” – Dr. Derrick Burgess   Connect with Dr. Derrick Burgess: Website: https://www.drderrickthesportsdr.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drderrickthesportsdr/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimeOut.SportsDr LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrick-burgess-72047b246/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHGDu1zT4K_X6PnYELu8weg Email: thesportsdoctr@gmail.com   This episode of TimeOut with the SportsDr. is produced by Podcast VAs Philippines - the team that helps podcasters effectively launch and manage their podcasts, so we don't have to.

Molly McGrath shares two simple steps to help attorneys and make employees' lives easier. Step one is to ask attorneys what they are not seeing that they wish they were seeing, to show support and build trust. Step two is to have a follow-up meeting to discuss the feedback and create action items. By implementing these steps consistently, employees can positively impact the attorney's work and create a more efficient and effective team.   Key Takeaways   Give your attorney the space to dump their thoughts and concerns without judgment. Use the Kaizen method to continually improve your processes and systems. Pay attention to what's not working and make small changes to improve things. Invest in your team members by providing them with the tools and resources they need to be successful. Give your team members the permission and confidence to come to you with their ideas and concerns. Be committed to the success of your business and the people you work with.

This week's guest is Dave Rozelle, Senior Manager Learning Development at Take 5 Oil Change.  Dave brings many years of management and supervisory experience supported by decades of computer and communications technology experience. Dave has developed new software products and is a strategic thinker and team builder.    Quote: "It's a primary goal of what I'm doing with like our employee feedback surveys, is not to make the frontline feel better or to solve every possible complaint, but establish a level of comfort that you're willing to speak up. If you don't speak up and express a concern, it will never be resolved and without that level of confidence in the company from the frontline, you're just shooting in the dark."   Key Takeaways: ➖ Give clarity to your frontline above all else ➖ Culture is not what you want it to be but, the sum of people that exist in the organization today ➖ Even though everything you're saying/doing from the top is in line, your reality at the front line is not the same ➖ You've got to be able to close the feedback loop and come full circle ➖ You need to be able to establish a level of comfort that your frontline is willing to speak up   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daverozelle/ Company Website: https://www.take5.com/oil-change/   Here's other ways you can listen: Amazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/2f4ecd92-6468-4769-b0bf-254e236510b7/FRONTLINE-INNOVATORS Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frontline-innovators/id1572329402 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/29m3wnK8pbFjdSvJ9wjmyS Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/frontline-innovators Google Play - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZnJvbnRsaW5laW5ub3ZhdG9ycy5jb20vZmVlZC54bWw Youtube - https://youtu.be/LZWm_hd6m8w   Find more episodes of Frontline Innovators at https://www.frontlineinnovators.com

You can create the type of business that honors your health and your priorities. It takes hard work, determination, and a whole lot of marketing, but with effort and defining your why, it is absolutely achievable. I'm joined by business strategist, Frenchie Ferenczi, to talk about her shift into flexible well-being and how she has created, and now helps others create, a business that serves their purpose.   Key Takeaways Give yourself permission to be okay with your why. It will help grow a more authentic business. It will allow you to bring to life a more altruistic why, too.   About Frenchie Ferenczi Frenchie Ferenczi is a business strategist and advisor for overwhelmed (but seriously ambitious) experts and creatives. She keeps small business owners stay close to the money and on the path to consistent revenue growth.  From having sold-out launches to spending more time with their kids, she empowers her clients to achieve their biggest business goals without falling victim to the business grind.   The Reality of Marketing As a business strategist and advisor, Frenchie brings a wealth of information to share about how her life transformed when she started her own business. Perhaps one of the best changes for her is that she now has the flexibility to weave her well-being into her schedule easier than when she had to answer to someone else's schedule. Frenchie understands the importance of prioritizing her health, especially as a business owner. For so many of us, especially physicians turned business owners, it can feel like we're drowning in marketing – and losing the heart of our business. But, as Frenchie says, marketing is one of the most important things you can do for your business growth, and, especially at the beginning, it needs to have a high priority.   Effort, Manifestation, and Perseverance Our conversation shifted to the reality of effort and manifestation. Putting effort into something doesn't mean working non-stop to achieve it. It's about working hard when you do work.  Similarly, Frenchie has some feelings about manifestation and the reality around it. Manifesting isn't as easy as wanting something and it will happen – there is hard work, determination, and perseverance that has to take place. Finally, we talk about the power of defining your why. Whatever your reason is for wanting something, being truthful with yourself about that is important and powerful. Your mission, values, and why can transform your life. How do you feel about manifestation? How are you living in alignment with your why?

But it is often, and is most likely, the most important work that you can do.” [13:38] “Effort doesn't mean that you always need to be going non-stop. But when you are going, it's hard work.” [21:37] “One of the tenets of f*ck manifesting I always challenge people with is to get real about your why because that's what keeps you motivated.” [24:20] “The best next steps are hiding in plain sight.

How many times have you gone skidding into vacation, arriving exhausted from trying to “earn” it before you leave? Then feeling guilty for any loose ends you were unable to tie up in time, maybe even brooding the first few days because you're so burned out that you aren't even enjoying your precious time off nearly as much as you thought you would?  Research shows that we can experience diminishing returns when we have too much free time, which might explain the onset of vacation blues. In this episode, I'm sharing my rollercoaster that arises at the beginning of longer stretches of free time and a few strategies for settling in to find true peace and relaxation.

In today's episode, Tessa Arias, founder of Handle the Heat, shares her experience going from a hobby-blogger to published author and social influencer. What I love about Tessa's background is she's grown a platform online mostly organically, reaching audience numbers that a lot of my friends who spend a ton on paid ads aren't even able to reach.  We also get super tactical into her experience working with sponsors and partnerships and how Tessa now acts as an advisor for companies wanting to work with influencers. We close with her experience going back into the world of publishing and why she's self-publishing her next cookbook.   Actions:  Subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts or on your favorite podcast app and let us know what you think by leaving a rating and a review.

Even though she was making money from her website, she didn't feel like it was a real business, so she started attending Masterminds to learn more. Tessa found she needed the emotional support of having a team of like-minded people around her. Someone can have a six or seven-figure business, but hate their business and not feel fulfilled by their life. Find groups and resources where you're actually getting advice and tools that you can implement. Surround yourself with people who understand and respect that you are the one who knows your business and yourself the best. Bringing someone else into your business forces you to operate at a higher level. You don't need to post on major job sites; look within your own community first. For example, Tessa hired through Instagram at first. When hiring, Tessa suggests you ask them to tell a story about a time they overcame a challenge, and ask them their opinion about something trivial to see that they can make a commitment and not be a yes-person. Tessa realized she was approaching burnout when she stopped feeling excited about her work. Growing your business depends on being flexible and adapting to the changing online landscape. Tessa challenged herself to post something every quarter that is more controversial or more personal and that scares her. If you buy a course online, make sure you have an accountability buddy to do it. Her past experiences with sponsored posts were formulaic and based on how other food bloggers did it, but she learned from Sachit and others how to build larger partnerships and create relationships from sponsorships. Through her success with building partnership relationships, Tessa has become a case study and an advisor for how brands should work with influencers. Tessa learned to ask open-ended questions of her sponsors to understand how their organizations work so she learns what would work best for both of them. No one opens Instagram excited to see sponsored content, so you should prioritize sponsorships that work with content you already post organically and that you care about and whose products you use. Question your assumptions that something has to be done a certain way. Sell your own content to your audience and remind them of the work that goes into it. The most important fundamental skills you need to be a successful published author are marketing and sales. Tessa is writing a second cookbook but is self-publishing it. The hardest part is marketing the book for pre-sale while creating it in order to fund it at the same time. Don't do something you don't like just to see if it'll be successful, because if it is successful, you'll have to continue doing something you hate. If you're bored with your content and the content others in your niche are putting out, do something surprising. Tessa's favorite part of her job is the ability to do whatever she wants when she wants to and to structure her day how she feels comfortable.   3 Key Takeaways: Give yourself the space to be creative and stay recharged and excited about your work. It's important to build relationships with sponsorships, partnerships, and PR representatives. You can have a big impact on every person who takes the time to follow, subscribe, or comment.   Tweetable Quotes: “I think the biggest thing for me was realizing I couldn't do it by myself and I didn't want to do it by myself. Owning an online business can be really isolating, you're not in a room full of people unless you choose to be.” –Tessa Arias “Following someone else's definition of success means that you have no intention or vision for yourself.” –Tessa Arias “The things I complain to my friends about in private, sometimes, those conversations need to be made public, because you're going to find your true fans and followers.” –Tessa Arias “Working with a sponsor gives you resources that you wouldn't have otherwise.” –Tessa Arias “I came to realize that as the influencer, you're your own best marketer, you're your own best advocate, you know your audience best, you know your content best, and people want to hear from you anyway.” –Tessa Arias “When you feel like you're at a plateau, do something surprising to yourself and for your audience.” –Tessa Arias   Resources Mentioned:   Later: Post scheduler for Instagram Tailwind: Pinterest and Instagram scheduler Tessa's Blog: Handletheheat.com  Find Tessa: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook   Actions:  Subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts or on your favorite podcast app and let us know what you think by leaving a rating and a review.

112: How To Have Awkward Money Conversations With Your Clients “How much do you charge?”  “Can you give me a discount?” “Sounds so expensive. What can you do and offer me?”It's very rare that you'll get through your entire business without ever having to have at least a slightly awkward conversation about money. But that's business. Today, we're talking about having awkward money conversations with your clients. But don't worry because I have a couple of tips on how you can make them less awkward! Let's get into it.Give it at least a day03:12- 03:25 The very first thing is when someone sends you an awkward conversation, and this is usually over email, don't feel like you have to respond right away, and don't respond in panic. Give it at least a day.04:31- 04:41 (10) There are a couple more reasons for that. One is you might have to create a procedure around it. This is something I really recommend rather than making exceptions for everyone.03:41- 04:03 So you're not leaving them hanging, but you're also not making a decision based on urgency. Sometimes people will ask you something and, to be honest, you don't know the answer to it then it's ok to go back and talk to your coach or your mentor to see if they have experienced that before.04:21- 04:27 Just be okay with not responding right away and giving yourself time to get a good response.Create a Procedure04:42- 04:51 Create a procedure that allows people and yourself to go back to your client and say “Here's what we do.” like an SOP. 04:52- 05:15 A perfect example is refunds. If somebody asks for a refund, if you don't have any terms & conditions in place, now's the perfect time to create them. You might not be able to enforce it with this particular client, but at least you can go back and say, “I can make an exception this time, but for the future, this is the new procedure.”Don't makeup stories05:27- 05:45 Awkward conversations are just a fact of business. It could be something you just haven't thought of it before or it hasn't come up for you before. Or, just to be honest, sometimes people can be really difficult and it's got nothing to do with you at all.06:15- 06:40 The truth is, when you give it a little bit of time, you realize that it's just a journey in business. Everyone gets refund requests. It's inevitable because you're doing business. I get refund requests all the time. The more business that you do, the more refunds that you'll get because it will follow a predictable percentage.06:41- 07:08 But if you let any of these awkward money conversations create a story about yourself where you think to yourself, “I'm just terrible at being in business. I shouldn't do this anymore. They hate me. I suck. I losing money doing business. I should quit,” then you're really going to miss the lesson and you're really going to miss the opportunity to create things in your business that will drive you forward.07:09- 07:16  Creating procedures out of awkward situations will create a good foundation for you to build your business on.Outsource it or delegate07:23- 07:36 Now, this is great if you already have an assistant. I have some resources for you if you haven't hired your first assistant. But, first, you must learn how to delegate it and let someone else be the bad person.07:46- 8:30 If you've emailed my team at Soul Rich Woman, you're not emailing me and I'm not refunding you. That is my assistant and she knows the procedure and she doesn't get triggered by it. She just does the procedure. The SOP. It means it's wonderful for me because I don't have to deal with it. We've got a procedure that we've agreed on, but I don't have to be the bad person. Sometimes she does have to be the bad person if someone's asking for a refund outside the refund period. She has to tell them no. And that sucks. Sometimes it is good to have someone else in your business who can reinforce that for you.Script it out09:02- 09:22 This is especially important if you're going to have one of those awkward money conversations on the phone. If you're on Skype, turn off your video and just say, “Look, let's just do this on audio because it helps with the sound.” Script it out. I did this in my early days when I had to increase my prices.Key Takeaways: Give it at least a day. Create a procedure. Outsource or delegate. Don't makeup stories. Script it out.

105: Be A Contributor Not A TakerAre you a contributor or a taker? What does any of this have to do with you? A contributor is others-focused and prefers to offer support to others. A taker is self-focused and putting their own interests ahead of the needs of others. In this episode, I will talk about one of the biggest things I've learned in my business and how it helped me change my mindset about the role I play in the world. You can be a contributor, a leader02:10- 02:13 If you really care about the topic, you can be a contributor, a leader.  02:14- 02:15  You don't have to know everything.  02:42- 02:47  First and foremost, you would need to give yourself permission to show up where you are at exactly right now.  03:33- 03:38  So here are some thoughts for you, “Your movements need to have many voices especially yours”. You need to stand out in the crowd04:25- 04:27 You need to stand out in the crowd.04:28- 05:03 Because worried that you're not standing out in the crowd or that you're not super original? Guess what? If you're a contributor or a leader, you can keep your eyes on your own work. There are many parts to the same outcome, and many industries have their own niches within niches, there are different price points, too. And every industry needs diversity. Especially now, more than ever, customers are looking out for role models who look and sound like you. So, you've got to show up and inspire them.  05:47- 05:49 The movement needs your voice.Empower people to find their own answers05:58- 06:01 The next thing is to empower people to find their own answers.  06:02- 06:25 Gurus think there only one answer, and they want people to be reliant on them alone, but contributors let people find their own answers so you can help people follow their intuition, develop their own self-awareness by being a leader, sharing your voice, giving them tips, you don't need to have all the answer.06:23- 06:29 You don't need to have all the answers because it's just about sharing stories like what I'm doing now and being relatable. 06:44- 06:50 (6) If you're a leader of others asking them questions helped them find their own answers.    07:41- 07:52 (11) You don't need to have all the answers to be a contributor, you can just get good at asking questions, start conversations, well-coming opinions from your own industry. Build a community, not a following07:56- 08:28 Now there is a tendency in our world at the moment to count the number of followers that you have even the likes, shares that you have. And everyone seems to be obsessed with this. But if you're a contributor, you're building a community that you are a member of, as well. That doesn't mean you're the only one who has to have all the answers. You curate answers for a lot of different things in your community.Creating safe spaces08:33- 09:09 One of the other aspects of being a contributor is creating safe spaces for people to explore that topic. You might have a free or a paid Facebook group or you can have some sort of way that people can come together, and together you can think of the answers yourself, without you having to be the guru of everyone else. It can really be exhausting if everyone's looking to you for the right answer, and if you're trying to be everything to everyone. You can't do it, but if you're a contributor, it's okay for you to build a community, where there are lots of different voices as well.People need the basics09:14- 09:29 The last thing I want to say is this, people just need to hear the basics. You do not need to know everything about everything. So you got to think, people need the basics, again and again, and they need to hear it from different people, and in different flavors, in different industries.You don't have to be perfect10:00- 10:40  Lastly, don't feel like you have to be perfect. Just be honest. You don't have to be this untouchable guru, who is perfect all the time, because a lot of people don't even try to put themselves out there because they worry that people are going to think, “Well, I'm not perfect. I can't be a guru.” The best way to avoid that is just to tell your truth. Tell your story. No one can copy your particular story, and that is why I love asking a question about your origin story, your chronological story, your milestone, and all these will help you to build up a flow. Key Takeaways: Give self permission. Your movement needs many voices.  Empower people to find their answers.  Build a community, not a following.  Create safe spaces.

The team belongs to the athletes as much as it does to the coaches, and the team is bigger than athletes or coaches. Everyone is working together in service of the team. And if there are people who aren't working in service to the team, people who aren't fulfilling their roles, then the team breaks down. But if everyone has a We over Me mentality, there's nothing the team cannot accomplish. In this episode, Coach Dusty Crafton tells us several ways to bring the team together for the greater We. Key Takeaways: -Give your athletes ownership on the team. -Establish a We over Me mentality. -Dealing with a little pain and adversity is good for you.   To learn more about the 2Words Character Development Curriculum, please email Colton at colton@2words.tv or visit our website at www.2words.tv/gameplan3    

Katie Toliao Hurd is a member of Blauer Tactical Systems’ Mobile Training Team, a first degree Black Belt in Krav Maga and the Program Manager of Krav Maga at Combat Sports Academy (CSA) in Dublin, CA. She held a spot on the 2009 U.S. National Muaythai team that competed at IFMA, the Muaythai World Championships in Bangkok, Thailand. Katie is also a member of the Krav Maga Alliance Training Team, an MTAA Champion, a KMA Force Instructor, and was voted the Krav Maga Alliance 2017 'Instructor of the Year'.   In this episode, Katie and I discuss: The importance of giving yourself grace and not pressuring yourself to be 100% all the time, and how that can open you up to more authentic experiences. Training with impact reduction gear to more closely recreate possible scenarios in order to learn how to respond effectively when there is an actual threat. The importance of marrying your verbal skills with your non-verbal skills and how the right mindset can help you de-escalate a situation, or help you adapt when it doesn’t. Overcoming the negatives narratives women tell themselves to take charge of your own personal safety and find your inner badass.   Key Takeaways: Give yourself permission to have a bad day or not have it all figured out, you may be surprised by what opens up. The right mindset, confidence, and calm in tense situations can go a long way to de-escalating and avoiding violence. If you can de-escalate, you should de-escalate. If you can walk away, you should walk away. You don’t have to be a top athlete – anyone can be a person who can live safer, and protect themselves if they have to.   "There's something on this primal DNA deep level that makes us protectors. Maybe you haven't been able to connect with that part of yourself yet, but that's inside every single woman I've ever met. So (don’t allow) your narrative about who you are and what you're capable of prevent you from seeking out more education and skills and training and let yourself tap into that." —  Katie Toliao Hurd   Connect with Katie Toliao Hurd:   Instagram: Katie Toliao Hurd (@katiesmashhurd)  Email: kt.hurd@outlook.com    CONNECT WITH CYNTHIA: If you'd like to chat with Cynthia, sign up for your Personal Safety Preparedness Consultation with her today!

Episode 9: Failed Partnerships Given A Second Chance Hello and welcome to today's episode. It is all about failed partnerships given a second chance. I went through a failed partnership, went into a 6-figure debt and it was horrible. And I labeled myself, I'm not worthy of doing business anymore, I should just go back and become an occupational therapist once again in the healthcare industry that I was. I'm not capable enough, I'm just so stupid. I labeled myself with all these negative emotions because I wasn't able to get out of my black hole. Giving yourself a second chance(02:05 - 02:20) When I started to own my story and tell it as it is and feel the pain, I went through all the pain that was there. I transcended to being able to stand up once again. (02:21 - 02:37) I gave myself a second chance. It was not because of choice. It was because I found a mentor who was able to guide me through my difficult times, who counseled me and walked with me during my difficult times. (02:40 - 03:00) I'm very glad that he encouraged me. And he asked me this question: What is worse than rock bottom? The only way is up. Turn your mess into a message he said, and I was blown away. The blueprint of your mind(03:10 - 03:32) You see we make our language, our words, and our mind, whatever that we are thinking into a reality. But do you know that every spoken word and everything that you think in your mind becomes a blueprint. What is the blueprint that you wanna give yourself in order to achieve your success?(03:34 - 03:53) I gave myself a second chance and because of this mentor, I really respect him a lot and I just trusted him and just followed exactly what needs to be done to go from offline to online. To move my life forward. Ask for someone else's help!(03:54 - 04:10) Remember we are not alone. If you keep thinking that you're alone and you're not willing to ask for help and you're just stuck in your own blackhole then it will be very difficult because you'll be left overwhelmed and unworthy forever.The rise of the second chance(04:26 - 04:32) Because I gave myself a second chance, I invested in a cafe retail chain with my partners.(04:37 - 04:44) And this time around we set a couple of things in place. Set contracts in place, who invested how much.(04:49 - 04:57) Will our shares be diluted? What kind of things do we need to do, what kind of roles do we need to play within our respective positions? (05:18 - 05:28) In the end, because of a more strategic way of partnership we were able to grow the business into three countries. The common goal(05:35 - 06:01) In total, we have 18 franchisees and licensees. It was amazing, I never thought we could make so much money. I never thought I would have such a breakthrough in partnerships. Yes, we do fight, we do quarrel, but you know what is the main difference here? We had a vision. All of us have a common vision, a common goal.(06:02 - 06:12) We wanted to bring coffee culture into the lives of many people out there and also to help people to start their own businesses. Establishing Soul Rich Woman(06:24 - 06:43) Because of this knowledge, because I've given myself a second chance, this led on to how I grew Soul Rich Woman into seven countries. And using leveraging podcasting, reach out to more listeners than ever before in 48 countries. (06:45 - 07:17) Imagine that I've not given myself a second chance, I would still be thinking this poor, lonely, victim kind of mindset. I would still be just stuck in that. But because I chose to give myself a second chance, saying no to my failures. And rising up, being empowered once again. Owning back my power that's in my hands, I was able to progress.Key Takeaways: Give yourself a second chance and create a milestone Never hold yourself back. Be with people who are like-minded Your past does not equal to your future Give your failures a second chance, learn from it!

As Coach Fecci tells us, "Do right, act right, and everything will be right." Key Takeaways: -Give your athletes opportunities to get character reps. -Think of ways outside the box to serve those who serve you. -Do right, act right, and everything will be right.   To learn more about the 2Words Character Development Curriculum and our e-learning resources, please email Colton at colton@2words.tv or visit www.2words.tv/gameplan3

We’re in the middle of a pandemic. Almost overnight, thousands of teams needed to figure out how to do their work virtually, while also navigating the stress of social distancing. Being a manager is hard enough during regular times, but right now is a time when your team members need you most.  In this episode, I talk through three tips to help you adjust to managing a remote team during social distancing. For more support, scroll down to the resources section. Instead of a mini-guide for this episode, you can download 2 free guides at www.mamieks.com/free.  Members of the Modern Manager community get a free 30 minute coaching session with me to help them address their most pressing challenges. Become a member of the Modern Manager community.  Subscribe to my newsletter to get episodes, articles and free mini-guides delivered to your inbox.  Read the related blog article: How to Be a Rockstar Manager During Social Distancing. Key Takeaways: Give yourself a break. This is a high-stress time and no one expects you to be perfect. Be practical. Give your team members time to adjust to working from home, especially if they have kids around. Delay timelines and push back deadlines when you have wiggle room. This will alleviate some of the stress. Allow “good enough” to be good enough when you can.  Talk with your team about how you will work together remotely. What hours will everyone be available? What tools will you use? Talk with each team member individually about what kinds of support they need from you right now.  Let your team members know what support you need from them, too.

Key Takeaways: Give yourself a break. This is a high-stress time and no one expects you to be perfect. Be practical. Give your team members time to adjust to working from home, especially if they have kids around. Delay timelines and push back deadlines when you have wiggle room. This will alleviate some of the stress. Allow “good enough” to be good enough when you can.  Talk with your team about how you will work together remotely. What hours will everyone be available? What tools will you use? Talk with each team member individually about what kinds of support they need from you right now.  Let your team members know what support you need from them, too. Hold a weekly team meeting to connect and stay aligned. Use the first part of the meeting to check in and connect with each other. Use the second part of the meeting to align on work progress, company news, and reflect on how you can work together more effectively. Use a chat app to stay connected at a distance.

Create fun topics such as ‘family time’, ‘coronavirus news’ or ‘funny things.’ Use these topics to replicate the casual conversations that happen around the office. Post pictures! Photos are a great way to feel connected. Encourage people to share pictures of their life at home, even if they would normally be more private.  Use the chat app to hold a daily standup meeting. Each person posts their answers to these three questions by 9am: (1) what did I accomplish yesterday? (2) what will I accomplish today? (3) What is stopping me from doing my work? Or What do I need from my colleagues? A daily stand up helps people focus and prioritize, creates accountability, and quickly identifies roadblocks.

“I came to realize that as the influencer, you’re your own best marketer, you’re your own best advocate, you know your audience best, you know your content best, and people want to hear from you anyway.” – Tessa Arias Welcome to the Conscious Creators Show; where through intimate and insightful interviews with authors, actors, musicians, entrepreneurs and other podcasters, you'll learn tools and tactics to 10x your creativity and strategies to grow and monetize your audience. In today’s episode, Tessa Arias, founder of Handle the Heat, shares her experience going from a hobby-blogger to published author and social influencer. What I love about Tessa’s background is she’s grown a platform online mostly organically, reaching audience numbers that a lot of my friends who spend a ton on paid ads aren’t even able to reach.  We also get super tactical into her experience working with sponsors and partnerships and how Tessa now acts as an advisor for companies wanting to work with influencers. We close with her experience going back into the world of publishing and why she’s self-publishing her next cookbook.   Actions:  Subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts or on your favorite podcast app and let us know what you think by leaving a rating and a review.

Even though she was making money from her website, she didn’t feel like it was a real business, so she started attending Masterminds to learn more. Tessa found she needed the emotional support of having a team of like-minded people around her. Someone can have a six or seven-figure business, but hate their business and not feel fulfilled by their life. Find groups and resources where you’re actually getting advice and tools that you can implement. Surround yourself with people who understand and respect that you are the one who knows your business and yourself the best. Bringing someone else into your business forces you to operate at a higher level. You don’t need to post on major job sites; look within your own community first. For example, Tessa hired through Instagram at first. When hiring, Tessa suggests you ask them to tell a story about a time they overcame a challenge, and ask them their opinion about something trivial to see that they can make a commitment and not be a yes-person. Tessa realized she was approaching burnout when she stopped feeling excited about her work. Growing your business depends on being flexible and adapting to the changing online landscape. Tessa challenged herself to post something every quarter that is more controversial or more personal and that scares her. If you buy a course online, make sure you have an accountability buddy to do it. Her past experiences with sponsored posts were formulaic and based on how other food bloggers did it, but she learned from Sachit and others how to build larger partnerships and create relationships from sponsorships. Through her success with building partnership relationships, Tessa has become a case study and an advisor for how brands should work with influencers. Tessa learned to ask open-ended questions of her sponsors to understand how their organizations work so she learns what would work best for both of them. No one opens Instagram excited to see sponsored content, so you should prioritize sponsorships that work with content you already post organically and that you care about and whose products you use. Question your assumptions that something has to be done a certain way. Sell your own content to your audience and remind them of the work that goes into it. The most important fundamental skills you need to be a successful published author are marketing and sales. Tessa is writing a second cookbook but is self-publishing it. The hardest part is marketing the book for pre-sale while creating it in order to fund it at the same time. Don’t do something you don’t like just to see if it’ll be successful, because if it is successful, you’ll have to continue doing something you hate. If you’re bored with your content and the content others in your niche are putting out, do something surprising. Tessa’s favorite part of her job is the ability to do whatever she wants when she wants to and to structure her day how she feels comfortable.   3 Key Takeaways: Give yourself the space to be creative and stay recharged and excited about your work. It’s important to build relationships with sponsorships, partnerships, and PR representatives. You can have a big impact on every person who takes the time to follow, subscribe, or comment.   Tweetable Quotes: “I think the biggest thing for me was realizing I couldn’t do it by myself and I didn’t want to do it by myself. Owning an online business can be really isolating, you’re not in a room full of people unless you choose to be.” –Tessa Arias “Following someone else’s definition of success means that you have no intention or vision for yourself.” –Tessa Arias “The things I complain to my friends about in private, sometimes, those conversations need to be made public, because you’re going to find your true fans and followers.” –Tessa Arias “Working with a sponsor gives you resources that you wouldn’t have otherwise.” –Tessa Arias “I came to realize that as the influencer, you’re your own best marketer, you’re your own best advocate, you know your audience best, you know your content best, and people want to hear from you anyway.” –Tessa Arias “When you feel like you’re at a plateau, do something surprising to yourself and for your audience.” –Tessa Arias   Resources Mentioned:   Later: Post scheduler for Instagram Tailwind: Pinterest and Instagram scheduler Tessa’s Blog: Handletheheat.com  Find Tessa: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook   Actions:  Subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts or on your favorite podcast app and let us know what you think by leaving a rating and a review.

Key Takeaways: Give your leaders and your employees all the tools that they need to be successful and then get out of their way. Always, always look for feedback from them - positive and negative. Learn your customer's frustrations and try to find the moment it happens. The better you know their frustrations, the sooner you can correct them. If you have people that are upset - customers or employees - they're usually just passionate people. They can be passionate negatively...but they can also be passionate positively. You can influence this.
