I'm excited to explore how to create a high impact business out of your soul, and learn more about Puja's background and how she uniquely blends spirituality and entrepreneurship. We discuss the contrast between the two worlds she was living in: one was soft, with the meditation centers, and the other was hard, with the tech startups. We also explore why we are set up to be so disintegrated in the world, and how Puja's journey led her to be a leader in coaching and supporting those who are purpose driven but running out of fire. (0:08:57) - The Natural Progression of Integration (6 Minutes) We explore how nature provides us with a blueprint of integration and harmony, and how this can be applied to our own spiritual evolution. Puja's Amplify Model is examined, which is her own journey that she has used to help her clients, and how it can provide clarity in our values, vision and voice. We question why our natural inclination is to quickly jump into strategy without taking time for the inner work, and explore how this can be linked to our trauma and sense of survival. (0:15:20) - Self-Connection for Success (9 Minutes) We discuss how easily we can be tricked into thinking that we are hustling and working hard, but still feel empty and unfulfilled. We explore the importance of reflection to look at how we are approaching our service-based business, and how to recognize if we are recreating our career or if we are doing work that is meaningful and valuable to us. We also talk about the importance of connecting with our self in order to un-learn what is not authentic, and how to come to a place of grounding and integration to do the work that comes from our presence. (0:24:21) - The Energy Triangle (5 Minutes) Puja's Amplified Life Triangle is important for entrepreneurs to understand energy management. We explore how to create a balance between logical and analytical masculine energy and intuitive feminine energy. We also discuss ways to nourish ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually to help sustain our creative goals. Lastly, we talk about how energy, time, and mindset interact with one another and how we can use this to be more intentional and conscious of how we are using our resources. (0:29:27) - The Importance of Self-Energy Strategy (11 Minutes) I chat with Puja Madan about the importance of deep spiritual work and how it sets in motion a bigger path and purpose. Puja explains how it takes time to fully percolate and that we need to give ourselves permission, time and space to up level energetically and spiritually. We also explore the difference between evolutionary change and transformational change and how intuition plays an important role in understanding the right timing. Finally, we discuss the importance of trusting the process and divine timing, no matter how long it takes. (0:40:14) - Aligning Values and Genius in Work (7 Minutes) Today I'm talking with Puja Madan about the importance of setting intentional time for self-care and reflection. We explore how to create a balance between logic and intuition, how to build a framework that aligns with our values and purpose, and how deep spiritual work can set in motion a bigger path and purpose. Puja shares her Amplified Life Triangle and how it can help entrepreneurs manage their energy and recognize when it's time to uplevel or introduce a new program. We also talk about how nature provides us with a blueprint of integration and harmony, and how to pay attention to our energy when making decisions. Finally, Puja shares how doing things from an overflow of joy can help us scale our business naturally. (0:47:00) - Letting Go Rituals and Creating Space (7 Minutes) Today, I'm talking to Puja Madan about releasing programs or courses that are no longer resonating with our current path. We emphasize the importance of taking the time to meditate, pray, and feel what is true to our bodies, and to honor the gifts that something has brought into our lives. We explore a gratitude practice for letting go, and how to create space for something new to come in. We discuss the idea of a flash sale to give a proper goodbye, and how to invite in positive energy for the next phase of our careers. Finally, Puja shares how to work with her and get in touch. (0:53:40) - Power of Intuition and Self-Connection (3 Minutes) Today, I'm talking to Puja Madan about the power of following intuition and how it drives our decisions and actions. We focus on the importance of connecting with our inner self and spiritual core to create a reset in our lives. We discuss how this connection allows us to make decisions from a place of alignment and trust, and how it leads to courage to say no to things that are not in alignment. Puja shares her own experiences of how connecting to her intuition guided her in selling her house, relocating to Denver, and how it has changed her approach to her business and clients. (0:56:51) - Soulful Business Growth (2 Minutes) Puja's story of vulnerability and willingness to show up as their authentic self without putting on masks or facades is moving and makes them magnetic and compelling to their people. We use nature's blueprint of integration and harmony to spiritually evolve, and how we can be tricked into thinking we are hustling and working hard, yet still be feeling empty and unfulfilled. We focus on Puja's Amplified Life Triangle and how to create a balance between logic and emotion, deep spiritual work, and setting intentional time for self-care and reflection.

My friend Puja Madan, who is an expert on mindful leadership for entrepreneurs and business executives, has been sharing really helpful posts and videos on LinkedIn. I invited Puja for an impromptu conversation we recorded a few days ago to talk about: The two brains we have and deciding which will dominate As leaders, being mindful of and reducing emotional contagion and herd mentality As a speaker, specific strategies you can use when events you’re speaking at have been canceled or postponed How you can use this time for curiosity and creativity and being careful not to feel like you have to be especially “productive” or “efficient” Register for Our Free Webinar: How to Repurpose Your In-Person Presentation into an Engaging Webinar or Virtual Workshop With many of us having speaking engagements and in-person workshops postponed, offering webinars or virtual workshops can be an excellent way to provide value to your audience.

065: Create Your Ideal Schedule with Shannon Crow   Shannon was inspired to create an episode to answer a question she is frequently asked: How does she do it all?   Shannon is the first to say she has a packed schedule and that fitting everything in can certainly be a challenge. Over the years, working as an entrepreneur, Shannon has learned many tips and tricks and they're always evolving to help her create and implement her ideal schedule.   There are many questions asked, tools you can use, and further reading and resources that are mentioned in today's episode, but, don't feel you have to take everything on.  As Shannon says, pick just one thing to start; maybe something that would make the biggest impact or would be the easiest to incorporate into your life and work on that. Integrate that one thing and if you have that down you can return to this episode for another tool or resource.   In our busy world scheduling to use your time in an optimal way is quite a challenge. Remember not to be too hard on yourself- no one has this down to a science but a few tweaks in your planning might make a world of difference. We'd love to hear if you've tried any of these techniques or if have any of your own suggestions. What do you find works for you? 6:05  When are you working and when do you have time off? What do you want to do with your time off?  What fills you up that is not work-related?   7:55 Look at that daily work schedule- when are you working, when are your breaks and when are you ending your day? Think about your ideal work week, month, and year. Where you are now vs. where are we headed.   10:10 Appointments with yourself are necessary to fuel you. When you're scheduling time off do you stick to it? Distractions from family, other work, etc interfering? Move your appointment with yourself somewhere else on the calendar.   12:15 The best time of day for you to teach? Do you feel like you have to work when it is convenient for the studio or students? You might be surprised by the turn out when you choose your best time.   14:45 What is your ideal yoga class? 1:1 or group classes? How many classes per week? What would this look like if money wasn't a factor?   16:10 Scheduling software- helps you clarify when you can book in classes or one-on-one appointments, your breaks, time between appointments so people can come and go without rushing   **Limited time vs. Lack of time: reframing language around your schedule so you aren't perceiving that there is never enough time**   20:15 Money Mindset- how much do you need to teach to make ends meet? What is your hourly rate?   21:20 Time Blocking- daily, weekly, and monthly   Shannon's Week:   MONDAY - Content Creation TUESDAY - Yoga WEDNESDAY - Podcast Day THURSDAY - Consultation Calls FRIDAY - Catch up day - podcast ready for Monday   26:00 Time blocking helps prevent Decision Fatigue   26:35 Ideally spend 15 minutes a day to wrap-up your day   Review your day - put the to-do items on your calendar that came up during the day   Mind Dump - if there is a tornado of thoughts and to-dos write them all down and see what needs to be added to your calendar   Prioritize and Plan for tomorrow - put the high priority tasks on your calendar for the next day and perhaps going further into your week or month   29:35 List things you are spending your time doing. What are the things you enjoy doing? What are the things you find yourself avoiding? It may reveal if you're losing time doing activities that aren't a priority.   30:40 Blocking out time for a specific task such as a workshop- you may need to block out time every day for a week for example, but the idea is that you're putting some boundaries around the time you spend so it doesn't get away from you   31:30 Time blocking specific to yoga teachers:   Personal Practice- 8-Limb focused (not just asana) Marketing - can include talking about what you do, email, social media, public speaking, newspaper advertisements, posters, business cards, videos and more Yoga offerings - workshops, classes, 1:1, retreats, online videos, blog posts   **Don't forget to include your travel and set up time**   Learning - yoga teacher training, reading, studying, videos, courses, yoga teacher training     **Small regular drips of information are better than a flood of information, especially if your schedule is already packed **   Planning and Preparation of Yoga offerings Other - Add what you'd like here such as accounting and email   37:00 Self-study (SVADHYAYA) to determine how you best work- Are you an introvert or extrovert? How do you best start off your work day? How does your energy tend to unfold throughout the day?   39:30 “Eat Your Frog First” and “The One Thing”- What is the one thing that needs to get done? If you're feeling overwhelmed pick just one thing that you are going to get done today and make the goal achievable, measurable, and specific   43:50  Ask what is the one thing that will help me generate income for my yoga business at the beginning of the day or the end of the day and plan tomorrow. How much time do you need to complete this? If it seems overwhelming create micro goals in 60-90 minute blocks.   45:40 Ask if you can outsource some of your to-do list? Household chores, accounting, website graphics, etc.   47:05 Looking at your yoga business as having seasons- it's okay to focus on one thing and put other projects on the back burner   48:30 Airport Test (created by Pat Flynn) to help look at the big picture   50:15 Set yourself up for success by cutting off distractions, time block for the distracting times eg. timer for using Facebook, and a few other recommended resources Links   The Connected Teacher Facebook Group   Follow The Connected Teacher on Youtube   Book a Consultation Call with Shannon Relevant TCYT podcast episodes:   030: Rituals to Start and End Your Day with Puja Madan   032: Set and Achieve Big Goals with Natalie Eckdahl   TCYT Define Your Yoga Niche Course   BizChix Podcast: 288: Time Management for High Performers: How to How to Map Your Ideal Month, Ideal Week, Theme Days and Time Block   BizChix Podcast: 316: How to Summer Proof Your Business   Book: The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan   Book: Eat That Frog: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done by Brian Tracy   Book: Will it Fly? by Pat Flynn (includes the Airport Test)   Freedom App Gratitude to our Sponsor Schedulicity

Not #CrushingIt is Okay   Rachel East is a Certified Professional Coach and co-founder of Clarity on Fire with her business partner and best friend Kristen Walker.   Clarity on Fire Coaching was created based on Rachel and Kristen's experiences with mind-numbing, unfulfilling work and their unwillingness to accept the status quo.   The coaching is geared towards millennials “who know what they don't want but don't know what they'd rather be doing”, which was how they felt coming out of college.   Rachel majored in Communications and Public Relations because she knew it was where she would flourish. When she graduated she gladly took a job she was offered as it was tough time economically (after the 2008 recession), and there was a lot of fear surrounding employment.   Rachel found her position as an Events and Promotions Co-ordinator wasn't ultimately something she cared deeply about. In figuring out what she did want led her to pursue life coaching.  It encompassed many of her passions including self-development and therapy.   The Passion Profile Quiz that Clarity on Fire developed helps uncover your passion (the content) as well as how it can be expressed in your ideal working environment (the context).   Rachel coaches a lot of self-defined perfectionists that are feeling burnt out. There is a mindset in society that we need to be busy to be worthy. Almost everyone struggles with this notion which is why Rachel's message is so important.   Have no fear if you like your free time, don't want to build an empire, aren't a huge fan of social media, or, as Rachel puts it, you don't want to be a #girlboss or ‘crush it'. There are many ways to approach being a successful entrepreneur.   Rachel's wrote her blog post Confession: I Have No Desire to be a #girlboss out of frustration when she was feeling burnt out. There was a strong response from people from various professional backgrounds.  She knew that she had hit on something that many felt but few articulated as it isn't a prevalent societal attitude. Rachel and those who responded to her post discussed defining success and passion for yourself and adhering to your values to discover a working environment that will lead to personal fulfilment.   12:10 Rachel's professional journey leading her to Clarity on FIre   15:25 Question from Julia, a member of The Connected Yoga Teacher Facebook Group about passion and fulfilment   19:50 Quality vs. Quantity- how focusing on numbers can negatively impact your business and outlook   21:05 Re-defining what success means to you   23:55 Authenticity has a bigger impact than presenting an airbrushed image   24:55 Rachel's blog post Confession: I Have No Desire to be a #girlboss and how it resonated with so many   28:15 How strong boundaries give you freedom as an entrepreneur   29:30 Business is one aspect of your life, avoid co-dependence. Our job and ourselves are two separate things.   33:15 How Rachel defines passion   35:15 Looking at your job as a journey, not a destination. The danger of grasping too tightly, resisting evolving, growing, or even pursuing a different career path.   39:00 Knowing the difference between the ‘fertile void' and being afraid of putting yourself out there- fear vs. intuition.   43:05 The Passion Profile Quiz   44:40 Understanding your time and money values 52:05 Setting limits in your business to suit your personality   Links   Clarity On Fire Website   The Passion Profile Quiz   Blog Post: Confession: I Have No Desire to be a #girlboss by Rachel East   Instagram White on Rice   The Connected Yoga Teacher Facebook Group   The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast  030: Rituals to Start and End Your Day with Puja Madan

Puja Madan was living in India on a 12+ year ritual journey with yoga and meditation when in 2009, she felt intense abdominal pain while attending a yoga class. Following up with a doctor, she discovered that she had a large fibroid tumour. Puja says this was her “aha moment”. Her medical issue was a catalyst for change as Puja determined her work life was less than fulfilling.  Feeling drawn to another path, she moved from India to the US. She went from using her MBA to work for tech startups to creating her own coaching business. With warmth and humour, Puja shares her vision to teach women in leadership positions.  She wants women to know that they hold value beyond what they accomplish in a tangible form. Puja wants women to stop measuring themselves against the expectations of society in order to nurture and appreciate their complex selves. Puja believes that beginning and end of day rituals can be a powerful means of honouring your many facets. As Puja says on her Puja's Wild Radiant Woman Website: "I spark the unseen potential and feminine power of visionary women to be the change agents the world so desperately needs.” She believes strongly in a balance of yin and yang energy in leadership positions and is pleased to see the old values and systems designed for men are evolving to incorporate feminine values such as mindfulness and collaboration. Puja is currently living in Orlando, Florida, holding in-person retreats and playshops. She also coaches women from around the world via Skype and does talks, inspiring many. Additionally, she is the bestselling co-author of Unleash Your Inner Magnificence and 365 Ways to Connect with Your Soul and the author of articles in several publications such as MindBodyGreen, The Huffington Post, and ElephantJournal. 8:10 Puja's yoga story 11:10 Embracing a new value system as entrepreneurs based on mindfulness, collaboration, and self-care 15:30 Rituals and mindfulness while you grow your business- personal energy and boundaries are deeply rooted in 17:00 Start of day self-care ritual Every being is made of 4 rooms: step into your 4 Rooms each day to at least air them Physical e.g. smoothies, quick workout Mental e.g. gratitude, thinking about priorities Emotional  e.g. text a friend, connecting one person to another Spiritual e.g. meditate, nature, pets, connected to something bigger than you Setting intentions for the day: a word or phrase that guides you that you can return to 19:15 Daily word / intention / mantra, Puja likes to do it right after meditation, awareness to it and Today's top priorities- top 3 things and do these first 22:30 If you feel like you don't have time to fit in self-care- where are you leaking energy non-revenue generating activities, 23 minutes to come back in zone, it is possible to re-organize your business and personal priorities to create more time 25:10 How a personal practice can impact our relationships - at home and at work 26:55 End of day rituals: Clear the desk Make a list to acknowledge and celebrate your accomplishments Meditation for closure of day Set intention for tomorrow Reducing forms of clutter- emails, computer desktop, etc. 34:05 How to connect with Puja 34:55 Middle of workday - regular check-ins: Are you feeling grounded?

How can you set yourself apart from others in your field? What makes your approach different? We all have something that is unique to us, but it’s hard for us to see it in ourselves because we take it for granted - it’s with us all the time, after all! In this episode, I coach my guest Puja Madan to help her find her unique message to stand out, so that’s she’s attracting the right clients and creating content that reflects what’s different about her and her approach to productivity and time management. Along with hearing the questions I ask my clients (and which you should be asking yourself), you’ll get some excellent tips on how to structure your day and your week for improved productivity and creativity.
