Building a business isn't just about strategy - it's about heart, faith, and purpose. Andee Hart knows this firsthand. From starting a candle-making passion project in her kitchen to growing a successful wholesale business, Andee's journey is a testament to resilience, grace, and the power of community. But her story doesn't stop there. As the founder of She Sells Differently, she's transforming how female entrepreneurs approach sales, blending integrity, faith, and countercultural strategies to create thriving businesses without the pressure of traditional sales tactics. In this episode of the Christian Entrepreneurs Podcast, Andee shares why extending grace to yourself is essential for personal and business growth, how surrounding yourself with the right community can strengthen your faith and your success, and why viewing business as a mission field shifts everything. As you continue on your entrepreneurial path, remember that your business is more than just a career - it's a calling. Keep moving forward with purpose, faith, and a heart to serve, knowing that when you align your work with God's will, the possibilities are limitless. Here are three key takeaways: Grace is Essential for Growth. Andee emphasizes the importance of giving yourself grace in both life and business.

Summary In this episode, I sit down with four LinkedIn friends/colleagues to discuss Dacher Keltner's book, Awe the New Science of Wonder and How it Can Transform Your Life. Each of my guests brings an important perspective to the topic. Dr. Keltner defines awe as connecting to something larger that yourself; “the feeling of being in the presence of something vast that transcends your current understanding of the world.” He then supports that definition by detailing eight emotional wonders of life: Moral beauty: appreciating other people's courage, kindness, strength, or ability to overcome obstacles. Collective effervescence: being part of a larger collective self, e.g., a Taylor Swift concert, a political rally, gathering with others to watch the recent eclipse Nature: what I feel when I stand in a trout stream or look out over the Grand Canyon Music Visual design: attractions in New York City: the Edge, the Little Island, and the High Line Spirituality and religion Life and death Epiphany – understanding of an essential truth, insights, scientific discoveries, sudden disclosures After introducing the concept and speaking about it from my guests' various perspectives, I asked whether the leader can inspire awe in the workplace. Guests Rich Gassen works as a print shop supervisor at UW-Madison, where he focuses on empowerment, creativity, and process improvements with staff. He also chairs the Campus Supervisors Network (CSN), a community of practice at the UW supporting supervisors in their roles by offering training and networking events, a weekly newsletter, and a website.

Attitude is everything when it comes to achieving success, regardless of age, gender, or background, says Ruth Klein. Ruth is an internationally renowned brand strategist, bestselling author, speaker, and expert celebrity branding maven. In this episode of Career Can Do, Ruth and host Mary Ann Faremouth discuss the principles that are critical to personal and business development. Ruth has written seven books, including the bestselling Generation Why Not?: 7 Principles to a Purposeful Business and Life Driven by Attitude, Not Age, which lays out seven principles that define your core beliefs and guide you through life's challenges. It's not the situation that makes or breaks us, but rather how we handle it. This attitude is what distinguishes those who lose everything and never come back from those who start up again, even stronger than before, Ruth remarks. She interviewed a diverse group of individuals for Generation Why Not?, from financial technology founders to an 83-year-old man who had written four books in four years. She discovered that attitude was the common thread among them: "It's not age. It's certainly not money. It's not your standing. It's not even your brilliance. It's your attitude," Ruth asserts. Ruth identifies the seven principles that define our core beliefs: intention, thoughts, beliefs, decisions, actions, momentum, and environment. Our intention, thoughts, and beliefs play a critical role in shaping our success. This means that if we're not reaching our goals or having the relationships we want, we can examine our intention, thoughts, and beliefs to find the root cause. Procrastination, for example, can be traced back to our intention, thoughts, and beliefs about a task or relationship. Ruth encourages us to approach life with curiosity and openness to possibility, and to stay true to our values, even in challenging times. Identifying your company's internal culture and business values can help you attract and retain employees. Ruth says that CEOs and business owners should reflect on their internal culture and values and connect with employees to understand their needs and concerns. Regular communication with employees ensures that the organization clicks between the C-suite, managers, employees, and business. Ruth also offers tips for personal and professional growth. She advises taking 100% responsibility for your attitude and creating an intention every morning of how to see the day, visualizing yourself achieving your goals. For example, you can create an intention to be a gift for everyone you meet or to stay focused and productive throughout the day.

Today I'm pulling back the curtain on my winding path from soul-draining hustle to creating a purposeful and profitable business through my Soul's guidance. It's an intimate conversation about escaping the corporate hamster wheel to build a business guided by my Soul, that is successful on MY terms. By creating my Business by Soul and listening to my intuition every day, I have quickly grown a business that is financially prosperous, has supported thousands of humans through profound life and business transformations, and feels fulfilling and in line with my purpose (and was even featured on Forbes for this alongside my brilliant colleagues in the industry!). In this episode, I open up about my journey, the biggest lessons I learned along the way, as well as the questions I ask daily to realign to Soul – such as: ✨How am I feeling mentally, physically, emotionally, and energetically? ✨Am I in flow or pushing against the current? ✨Is there resentment, or lack of joy in what I'm doing? ✨How can I better enjoy my creative process? During my journey, I have realized that to me, success isn't achievements… it's the freedom to create beauty, to contribute to life itself (and by extension of that, to others!), and to live by inspiration. Those are the principles behind my newest creation, Business by Soul – my new 4-month group program for heart-centered entrepreneurs ready to take their business to the next level so that it's thriving, prosperous, soul-aligned, and deeply impact the collective. It covers:
What if we told you that the journey to sustainability involves more than just recycling and reducing emissions? Prepare to be enthralled as we navigate through transformational narratives of businesses pivoting towards sustainable and regenerative projects. We share the intriguing story of an Oxfordshire project that breathed new life into discarded barn doors by repurposing them as shelves, countertops, and a dining table.

We discuss the potential of creating a material passport, life cycle analysis, and other revolutionary concepts to promote transparency and traceability for customers.

The episode highlights how designers' innovative ideas coupled with scientific facts can stimulate significant transformations. We also delve into the concept of regeneration, it's potential to remap ecosystems, and re-establish local communities.

Attitude is everything when it comes to achieving success, regardless of age, gender, or background, says Ruth Klein. Ruth is an internationally renowned brand strategist, bestselling author, speaker, and expert celebrity branding maven. In this episode of Career Can Do, Ruth and host Mary Ann Faremouth discuss the principles that are critical to personal and business development. Ruth has written seven books, including the bestselling Generation Why Not?: 7 Principles to a Purposeful Business and Life Driven by Attitude, Not Age, which lays out seven principles that define your core beliefs and guide you through life's challenges. It's not the situation that makes or breaks us, but rather how we handle it. This attitude is what distinguishes those who lose everything and never come back from those who start up again, even stronger than before, Ruth remarks. She interviewed a diverse group of individuals for Generation Why Not?, from financial technology founders to an 83-year-old man who had written four books in four years. She discovered that attitude was the common thread among them: "It's not age. It's certainly not money. It's not your standing. It's not even your brilliance. It's your attitude," Ruth asserts. Ruth identifies the seven principles that define our core beliefs: intention, thoughts, beliefs, decisions, actions, momentum, and environment. Our intention, thoughts, and beliefs play a critical role in shaping our success. This means that if we're not reaching our goals or having the relationships we want, we can examine our intention, thoughts, and beliefs to find the root cause. Procrastination, for example, can be traced back to our intention, thoughts, and beliefs about a task or relationship. Ruth encourages us to approach life with curiosity and openness to possibility, and to stay true to our values, even in challenging times. Identifying your company's internal culture and business values can help you attract and retain employees. Ruth says that CEOs and business owners should reflect on their internal culture and values and connect with employees to understand their needs and concerns. Regular communication with employees ensures that the organization clicks between the C-suite, managers, employees, and business. Ruth also offers tips for personal and professional growth. She advises taking 100% responsibility for your attitude and creating an intention every morning of how to see the day, visualizing yourself achieving your goals. For example, you can create an intention to be a gift for everyone you meet or to stay focused and productive throughout the day.

What gets you through the hard days? Purpose. It's what keeps you going when things are tough and when life seems overwhelming. Purpose is your why. Your VO biz is not just a job, it's an expression of who you are and what matters most to you. This week, Anne & Lau talk about what purpose is, why it matters (and why it doesn't have to be all about profits), + how you can identify your business' purpose. They also discuss ways to make sure that your clients, agents, and peers can feel your passion in your presence + hear it in your voice. Finally, they talk about how clear communication of your purpose can help align you with other people who share similar visions and goals. Transcript >> It's time to take your business to the next level, the BOSS level! These are the premiere Business Owner Strategies and Successes being utilized by the industry's top talent today. Rock your business like a BOSS, a VO BOSS! Now let's welcome your host, Anne Ganguzza. Anne: Hey everyone. Welcome to the VO BOSS podcast and the business superpower series. I'm your host, Anne Ganguzza. And today I'm excited to bring back very special guest co-host Lau Lapides. Hey Lau, how are you? Lau: Hey! I'm awesome. I'm loving being back as always. Anne: I love this series, speaking of the business superpower series. So as business owners, we are superpowers, and one of our superpowers, Lau, has to be our purpose, right? Why did we get into this whole voiceover thing in the first place? And I think it's really important for us to understand what our purpose is and bring it to our business. I've been in this business for a long time, and sometimes that gets thrown by the wayside during the busy days. And sometimes we can maybe forget what our purpose is in the business, but I think we need to realign ourselves with who we are and who we are as a business and what is our purpose. Because people and potential clients align with that. And I think it's important these days. Lau: Yes, well said, Anne. We were just saying before that we start out with purpose when we're starting a business, but the purpose may change. It doesn't always stay the same through the years. If you're have luck and fate and love and passion, and you have a lot of longevity in your business, you become more and more purposeful and more and more subdivided in the reenvisioning and repurposing your purpose. And that, you know, that's something that all of our superheroes that we know and love have in common. They all have purpose. It's like to save the world, right, from certain destruction. Anne: Right. Lau: One of my purposes is to offer the world something specific that helps solve their pain point. What's their problem? What's their need? What is it? Anne: Exactly, what's their problem. And I'm going to say that it's important these days to have purpose beyond profit, right? There should be some element of your purpose that not only are you in business to make money, but you are also wanting to bring value to society or value to a cause that you might believe in, and something that I think your potential clients can hear clearly stemming from your business and get on board with, because I think you'll really end up with a lot of customer loyalty if you get people on board with your purpose. So it's not just to, I wanna voice a national commercial. I know that when we first start in the industry, we start with something very close to us. Well, it's a passion, you know, a lot of people getting into it. I love to create character voices, or I read to my children a lot. And so -- I've been told I have a good voice. And so I wanna be able to bring something to my career with my voice. I wanna be able to use it. So I think we need to look further and deeper into ourselves beyond that sole purpose of, yes, I'm passionate about voicing, but what else is it that you wanna bring to, let's say your business, to society that can help to, I think, elevate you and motivate you forward? And especially as you said over the years, like we kind of conquer and divide or divide and conquer and, and create more aspects of our business. And yeah, sometimes we start to really lose where that purpose -- where did that go? What am I doing this for? Lau: Hmm, yes. It's like losing an inner compass for a lot of us that start out extremely strong. I think it would be fair to say as a sweeping generalization, that many entrepreneurs, many solopreneurs start out with a high level of zest, of passion, of what used to be inserts that none of us ever knew; that was the Retzin. Like what's the Retzin in our purpose? So you gotta have that because that passion, that purpose really inspires you through the difficult days, through the tough times. You're right. It can't just be profit driven because there are gonna be many days where you're simply not gonna make a profit. And it's unrealistic to think that it's my business -- yeah, my business should be making profit all the time. I actually thought that at one point. Anne: News flash! News flash. . You may not make a profit every day. Lau: It sounds ridiculous. But it's like one of my actors, literally, literally this morning, I was talking to her and she said, I'm concerned -- she had switched agencies. And she said, I'm very concerned. I said, why are you concerned? She said, I'm not getting that many auditions. I'm getting like, whatever a week. I said, well, wait a second here. First of all, you have to examine -- I use the word intention, but purpose is great, fits right in right here -- like, what do you realistically want here? And what is your purpose in doing this? Surely it can't be that you're gonna get auditions all day long and book gigs all day long. Anne: Right. Lau: And make a profit all day long. Right? A lot of people actually do think that way. They think, well, I'm here. I'm talented. I love what I do. I'm ready. so why aren't I getting the outcomes that I'm expecting? Well, life isn't like that and business isn't like that. Business is really about relational management. How are you paying attention to the details of the client and what is their purpose and identifying it, like determining do they have purpose? And is it specific enough? Anne: Yeah. And I think that purpose probably starts when people get into the voice industry. I have so many people that I do consults with and there are people like, well, you know what, it's the pandemic, I'm at home. And I wanna be able to work from home and make money. I need to make money. And I'm like, well, okay. So that purpose is not as developed as somebody that I would necessarily wanna work with. So because their whole purpose is to simply survive probably or make money. And that's not necessarily the best purpose to come into the voiceover industry just simply because it's freelancer, and, and yeah, news flash we don't make profits every single day or maybe we do. But in order to get to that point of making a profit every single day, I think there's a lot more steps that need to be taken in terms of evolving your business and growing your business. But in the beginning, it's almost like a self-centered, I have a passion for voiceover. I enjoy it. I'm passionate about it, but I think it needs to go further than that. So it's a passion for you that you love to do, but what can it bring to your business? What can it bring to your potential clients? So for me, for example, some of my background, I worked for a short bit of time in orthopedic industry and in medicine. And so my voiceover genres have evolved into medical narration. And so I really take heart in wanting to voice something that will help people. And so my purpose, when I'm reading the back of that pharmaceutical label, it's not so that I can make money. It's my gig. I'm making, you know, $1000 or whatever I'm making. I'm imagining that I am helping someone who is frantically reading that label to make sure that they're taking the right dosage and to make sure that they're not gonna have crazy side effects and what to do in case they are, and where do they contact? What number do I call? And so I'm really thinking about that purpose, going beyond just me getting paid for the job. I wanna make sure that I'm able to bring my voice and my help and my service to people, to society. And that is just one small example. It's another reason also why I do eLearning gigs, because I feel that my purpose in life is to educate and to be -- I feel like that's really where my sole purpose is, is to really educate and bring education to other people, to help them grow their businesses or grow their voice over careers. And so for me, that love of teaching extends to my business, to my client. And so I take pride in the fact that there's purpose in that. There's purpose in this podcast. You know, this podcast stemmed from my wanting to give back to the community and have an educational resource for people that wanted to find out more about the voiceover industry. Lau: Mm that's great. I love that. What a great soliloquy and you know what? I just had a visual, speaking of branding and everything we talk about with business, I had a visual of like cleaner, like Windex cleaner or one of those cleaners. Why? Because on the front label, you almost always see the word multipurpose, on the front label. Okay, so that's the claim that they're making is that I can use it on my stove and my sink and I can use it on the windows. Right? It makes me think we need to have multipurpose as well. I think its a misnomer to think well, I just have one purpose. What's my purpose? Anne: Yeah. Lau: We're multidimensional human beings. And I can have the purpose that I honestly wanna help someone. I wanna guide them. I wanna sherpa them, if you will, but I also want them to create a viable return based business. And then I also want to lift the ethos of the company or what have you. So it's a multidimensional, multi-purpose framework that I think we can create versus this idea of, oh, I just have one thing in mind. Anne: Yeah. Yeah. Well, and I was thinking about this this past week and I wanted to tell you, Lau, the one thing that I love about you, I honestly feel and I get the vibe that you are more excited even than I am to get work for me as an, as an agent. I really feel that because you reach out and you're asking me questions and then I can feel and hear the excitement. You're like, oh, I've got an opportunity. And I really believe that you get so excited about bringing opportunities and bringing job fulfillment to your roster. But I think it's more than just job fulfillment. It's about helping us to grow. And I really feel that from you. And so it's like practice what we're talking about, that makes me want to align with you even more. And so it really does my heart good to feel that from someone that I'm working with, because that makes me wanna work with you more. And I really believe that if we have a purpose that is to serve our clients, right, in the very best way, that's gonna be very obvious to them that that is what we are there. We are there to help them, to help them grow, to help them sell that campaign, whatever it is. If you are admitting that through your job, through your voice, through your interactions with them, it's very much a feel and something that makes them want to work with you again. Lau: Oh, thank you for saying that. Anne: Yeah. Lau: I deeply appreciate that. And it's all true. Anne: It's true. It's very true. Lau: And I feel like you can feel that from an email, you can feel that from a text, at least I can and you can. Anne: Yeah. Lau: I can feel the level of connectivity. Anne: In three words. 'Cause you're busy, and you send me three words and I'm like, oh God, she's excited. She's gonna get me an opportunity. I can tell -- Lau: That's right, that's right. Anne: -- from that short sentence and it's so amazing that you can do that. And it's like a magnet. And I think that that is something that we all can learn for our own selves in understanding our purpose and understanding us wanting to be more than just the profit making business. that's out there doing voiceovers. Lau: I would venture to say purpose is addictive. It's addictive. It's catchy. It's something when you're around, it influences you. You know, we talked about influencers all the time, but how do we influence our peeps, your VO Peeps and our audiences to move in a purposeful, mindful, specific and honest way is how we demo what we do, how we role play, what we do. It's hard to tell, but, but you guys should do this and you should do that. And then, then they don't see it in you. They're watching, they're mirroring psychologically. They're saying, Anne, I wanna see that in you. And when I see that in you, all of a sudden, I feel like I wanna do more. I feel like I wanna commit more. In fact, I wanna try, I wanna take more risks. Anne: It's motivational. It's inspirational. And again, if I go back to this podcast, I specifically remember, gosh, the podcast is now I'm gonna say close to six years old. Lau: Woo! Anne: That's a commitment by the way. This podcast is, is a free resource for people, my heart wanting to give something back to the community. And interestingly enough, I feel like for myself, when I got to a point in my career where I was not so frantic, but about, oh my God, am I going to make it? Am I going to be okay? And I started to feel the success, I wanted to share that and give back. And that became the sole mission of the VO BOSS podcast was to give back and to provide an educational resource. And even more so like these series, the superpower series, my AI series, you know, that's something that, again, I wanted to be kind of up front and educate myself and help educate the community on what's coming up in the industry. And what do we need to be on the lookout for? And that all comes from a place of wanting to help and wanting to provide resources so that people can use those resources to intelligently make decisions about their own businesses. And hopefully people that listen to the podcast feel that. And they, they can feel that from me as I continue to bring phenomenal guests like yourself onto the show so that we can help to be a resource. Lau: No doubt. No doubt. I do agree with you. I think even if you're not thinking in a philanthropic mindset, there is this essence, this circular, however you believe, a karmic essence, a circular that what you put out into the world -- and I teach this to my children and I try very hard to live it -- is put out exactly what you would want to get back. If it were a boomerang and I said this to someone, I did this to or for someone, would I want that for myself? Anne: Yeah. Lau: That old do unto others. But it really is true because there is a circular effect in our industry of what I'm putting out. And sometimes it's not profit driven, as we know. And sometimes we don't get paid as we know. There's always this karma effect of wonderful things that come back to you, and it could be in the form of just like a quick one liner. Someone says you change the way I think. You change the trajectory of maybe my life and you think, whoa, I love paychecks, but no paycheck can make me feel that way. Anne: It reminds me exactly why I loved education. And that's why I was in the education industry for 20 years. The fact that I had an opportunity to make a difference. And the funny thing is, is that it wasn't even about like, was I a good teacher? It was the fact that I had the opportunity to help and shape and hopefully motivate, hopefully inspire a mind that can grow and be successful, and I can be happy. And there is nothing, nothing better than that feeling of watching a student of yours go on to be successful. And I I'm gonna say I'm so, I'm so blessed, I really am, to have experienced that for so long and continue to experience. And I, I think that's why I think I was born to be an educator, which is why so much of my business is about education. Now, of course it's about voiceover as well. But like you said, there can be multiple purposes. So is there just one purpose? No, not necessarily. Right? I have that purpose of, I wanna be that voice that helps people when they're reading the back of the pharmaceutical label. I wanna be a voice that can educate others through an e-learning module. I also want to actually have something that can, you know, like my podcast or my VO Peeps group that can help the education. And again, VO Peeps was also stemmed from that same reasoning when I moved from the east coast to the west coast, I wanted to meet people who were in the industry. And I thought, well, what better way than let's create a group of people who are voiceover artists and VO Peeps began. And then I wanted to provide resources because I missed teaching. So it's funny because of course I love voiceover, but it turned into like multiple compartments of my business. And I think that anybody today in the voiceover industry, I don't know if I'd be so bold just to say this, but I think there are times as we grow, we do need to have multiple paths of income, right, in this industry. So I might not just be doing voiceover for all of my money. A lot of people it's just starting out have to have a part-time job or multiple revenue streams until they get to a point where voiceover becomes their full-time income. And that's where your purposes come in. Lau: Absolutely, Anne. I mean, that's, to me, it's a given, to you it's a given, but we do have to educate people that that is the nature of being a contractor. That is the nature of being a trades person, that you are going from job to job. And you kind of have to remember that throughout your life, but also it's okay. Like give yourself permission that whatever you call yourself, you're a creative, you're an artist. You are, whatever you call that thing in you that drives you, that gives you purpose also multitasks in different creative directions that you have to realize. A lot of times you can't be satisfied in just one direction. You have to be multi-directional -- Anne: Ding ding ding! Lau: -- multi-purposeful, right, to feel like -- Anne: Ding ding ding! Lau: -- yeah, excited and revived, a little splash in the face, 'cause you got a new project. I'm taking on a few new things right now that scare me to death, which I love. Because I haven't done them before. You do that throughout your whole life. Anne: I think as creatives, right, that's part of the whole creative mindset, is that I've always said I can't be bored, which is probably why I love to learn. Right? It's probably why I loved technology. I was in technology 'cause things change, things evolve. I liked fixing things. I was in technology. I would fix broken computers, all of those things that required me to do different creative things every single day. And thus, yes, I think as a creative entrepreneur, that's why multiple purposes can be beneficial. And for me it's so much about what can I give, and even in our performances, I'm always telling my students, it's not about your voice. It's about your connection to your listener, and what is it that you're going to do for your listener as you are servicing that piece of copy, right, for a company that's selling a product? What is that product going to do for the person that's listening? How is it going to help them? And that is where the glue is. That's where the connection is. That's where sales become successful. When you are able to help people, right, with a product that will make them feel better, look better, whatever, help them in some way. And that's what becomes the attraction, that force. Right? Lau: So, Anne, would it be fair to say that no matter where you're at in this game, that you've gotta think multi-purposeful and multidimensional that, on one hand, okay. It's a truism, I'd like to work. I'd like to be trained well. I'd like to have great equipment. Okay. We get that. But what is the higher purpose? What is the more multidimensional purpose of how -- let's say you're doing educational reads, eLearning -- how am I affecting a generation of middle schoolers as I do do this? Anne: Sure. Lau: How is my messaging? My voice, but my messaging here really taking effect? And is that an honest purpose that I have? Anne: Sure. And it can go beyond just the purpose of the effect of your voice having on let's say certain campaigns or people, but it can go on to say, well maybe I decide to take a percentage of my earnings. And I donate it or whatever that is. Or as part of my day to day business, I have a certain set amount of time where I mentor people, and it doesn't even have to be in voiceover. It could be in any sort of thing. Right? So a lot of companies have that philanthropic part to their business, because again, it's that what is a higher purpose for your company, for your business? And it's funny because a lot of people will relate it to like the creative aspect of it. What is my purpose? But in reality, defining your purpose in your business, right, it goes beyond just what is my purpose? But how does this purpose affect your business? And how is it that you are communicating that purpose? Is it clear? Do potential clients understand this about you and your brand? How are you communicating that purpose out to the world? Lau: And is it in alignment with the population or the clients that you're working with or out of you? Or are you out of alignment? I think identifying that and being honest about that -- sometimes you're just not in alignment with the people that you're working with or clients that you're working with. And then it's not a good thing that. Anne: Yeah, usually that doesn't end up working out. Lau: Yeah. I mean, you might have an organization that's highly philanthropic, and they want you to have an honest connection to the work you're doing. And you're coming in and saying, well, it's good gig. I'll add it to my resume. I'll get some money on it. It'll be good. People will hear my voice, but their vision is a lot deeper than that. And they need a lot more emotional commitment. Anne: Yeah, absolutely. Lau: You have to kind of be honest about that and say, is this a good fit? Are we spiritually aligned? Sometimes you have to think that way. Because sometimes you're not. Anne: Yeah. Lau: And we can hear that. Like we get that. We can hear that. Anne: Absolutely. Lau: I can hear that in a demo even. I can hear it demo when someone is just not aligned, not present. They're not aligned. They're not present, they're doing it. And it's more of a perfunctory exercise than having joy. Some of my closer friends in the industry talk a lot about having honest, happiness and joy in what you're doing. Anne: Yeah, absolutely. Lau: And I think that's okay to have. It doesn't have to be this heavy, serious thing all the time. Anne: Right, right. Lau: There's okay to have humor. It's okay. To have joy. It's okay. To have that level of cookiness and quirkiness 'cause you're creative. That's what creatives do. Anne: Yeah, yeah. Lau: Right? We get paid to be quirky. Anne: Yes. There you go. Lau: In a way, you know what I mean? Like, oh, I shouldn't do this. I shouldn't sound that I shouldn't. Well, but sometimes you get hired for that stuff. Sometimes you have long term relationships 'cause they know how quirky you are. Right? And we're both quirky. Anne: Yeah, absolutely. Lau: And sometimes that becomes kind of part of the purpose is like one of my purposes is I'm gonna stay true to my persona and my personality while I service the client in the most honest way that I can, but I don't wanna lose myself. In other words, I don't wanna lose my identity. I don't wanna lose who I am. That's a toughie. Anne: Sure. Yeah. A lot of times when we think about, okay, do you align with certain ideals? Right? Do you align with diversity, inclusivity in casting? That's a big one today, right, that all around in corporations, it's all about inclusion, diversity and that sort of thing. So is that something that you align with in casting? Are you willing to pass on opportunities if you feel that it's not the right job for you. Are you gonna pass on an audition or are you gonna recommend somebody that you feel would be better? So that goes beyond, well, I'm gonna do every single job, and it's not just about like the political genre, right? Because the political genre, that's very obvious. Right? So are you on one side or the other? And so this really just goes beyond just a political genre kind of thing in terms of like your purpose and aligning yourself with ideals and making them known to your client. It's about everything that you do. It's about how you communicate it to your client. It's embedded in your performance. That's what I love that you, you brought that back into the performance aspect. We can hear it if you are not aligned in that way. And so I think for the BOSSes out there, if you haven't sat down and just, in a quiet area and just thought about your purpose, maybe jot it down or your purposes, right, what is it that you really are trying to do with your business that can be more than just creating profit? Lau: Yes. I'll leave you on this note. My dad who recently passed away, not too long ago, he was a great businessman, great entrepreneur. And he would give me loads of wisdom, loads of gems of wisdom. And one of the ones I will never forget, way before I even started a business, he would say about starting businesses, he'd say you need to do what your plan is, what your plan of action is, do it for free, and do it for a long time to make sure that you wanna do it because once you start a business on it, don't expect to make money for a good five to seven years. Anne: Yeah. Lau: Right? And the Eastern philosophy is like 10 years. Like don't expect to really make a profit. Okay. So I always kept that in the back of my head. Don't mistake that for devaluing what you do. Oh, I'm only gonna do it for free and work for free. It's to say like, if you take that as an example, don't take it too literally. Take that as an example and say for a period of time, whether it's philanthropic or whether it's just for my own sense of knowing what my purpose is, I'm not gonna collect money on this. And these situations are appropriate for me not to collect money on this, and see how I feel about the work that I'm doing. Am I really willing to put in X amount of hours without billing X amount of hours? I found that very telling, and certainly actors who come from actor backgrounds spend years not getting paid or getting paid very low wages, and still do it, still wanna do it, still wanna continue it. Anne: And that's so interesting because if you've ever read any of Bob Bergen's posts, he's all about, I didn't start doing it for the money, and he had a purpose. Lau: Right, right. Anne: And so he's very adamant about that to the point where I think some people kind of look at him and go, okay, okay. Okay. But I've gotta, you know, pay the mortgage. Lau: Exactly. Anne: That kind of a thing, but it's the thought, right? So this is -- Lau: It's the thought. Anne: -- purpose driven beyond profit, but it doesn't mean that if you're a good business, you cannot create wealth, right? Not just, you cannot make money, wealth in so many ways, right, is that you are contributing to society in a positive manner, as well as making money doing it. And so therein lies the question. So what is my purpose? And have I stayed true to that? Or my purposes, right? And have I stayed true to that? Lau: Yes. To piggyback onto what you just said, one testament to that may be that you are working, you are having a viable business -- take on some charity projects, take on some philanthropic, take on some projects where you're mentoring or maybe you are doing something for visually impaired or what have you so that you can balance it out in your heart and your soul and say, not everything is a paycheck, not everything is an invoice, not everything is how much I can get -- but really get you off that just for a moment to say, oh, this may be another purpose for me that is a slightly higher purpose at times. Anne: Right. Right. Lau: That can feed me in a way that the other jobs may not be able to feed me. Anne: Sure. Sure. Lau: And kind of balance it that way versus all or nothing. I either work for free or I work for as much as I can get. Anne: Or if it is for a profit redistributing that, right, maybe giving back in some other way. Right? Lau: Exactly. Exactly. Anne: So sharing the wealth, so to speak. But yeah, what a great conversation. Lau: What a great conversation. Anne: I really had some time to think about it. I really enjoyed writing that blog article. It just really led me to think about, what am I here today doing, and how did I start off, and how have I evolved over the years? And I can say, I'm grateful that I'm still true to my original purpose and also my evolved purposes. So I feel like I'm staying on track. It's something that I, I don't take for granted either. So I think we should all take some time and to kind of check deep within and see if we have that purpose and if we're following that purpose. Lau: I love it. And now we can all be like the cleaners. Like we can all be like Windex and 409 and say we're multi-purpose. Anne: Multi-purpose. Lau: We're gonna clean up. But we're multi-purpose. Anne: I love it. All right. Wow. Great stuff. Lau: Good stuff. Anne: Great stuff. So I'm going to give a great big shout-out to my sponsor, 100voiceswhocare.org.

Summary There's a lot of talk about why organizations need to have a purpose — why they do what they do on behalf of those they seek to serve — and to have that purpose go beyond being a mere marketing tagline. What's equally challenging to get at is how an organization defines its why, how they get staff buy-in — or better yet, staff input — and then has the discipline to choose activities that work towards fulfilling it. My guest My guest to help walk us through this topic is Brooke Erol. Brooke is a corporate dropout who pursued her dream of having more meaningful work for herself and others where we are not only seeking money but also contributing to a bigger cause. All her life is spent on writing, speaking, coaching, and consulting on this topic of having a life of fulfilling and purposeful work. She works both with individuals- YourBestLife and organizations - Purposeful Business, Inc. Takeaways √ Many businesses focus on profits over purpose instead of figuring out how to do both. √ An organization's pain point is not necessarily an expressed lack of purpose, but lack of purpose is often the driver below the surface. √ Leaders at the highest point of an organization — founder, and CEO — must have a deep consciousness to understand the imperative of having and living a purpose fully. √ Companies often face a litmus test as to whether they are going to honor their purpose in their decision-making, √ Customers and job seekers should monitor a company over time to see if it adheres to its purpose. √ The number one reason for the purpose to stick is the 100% commitment of the CEO or the founder. √ Instead of trying to save the whole world, find one area where you can have an impact, and let that be your purpose.

As you might know by now, we're right in the middle of launching Purposeful Business, which is our complete roadmap to building a profitable online business. We're so excited to welcome a new cohort of students, and we're ready to help them chase their dreams! When we're working with people that are newer to online business, one barrier that they often bring up is time. This shows up in a few different ways, such as them saying, “I don't think now is the right time”, “I'm not sure where I'd find the time to complete it”, or “I don't feel worthy of my time” (although this last one is something they probably wouldn't admit to out loud).In this episode, we're going to help you reframe and flat out debunk some of these ideas. Whether you're going to join Purposeful Business or not, you're going to learn some really valuable information today about healing your relationship with time! This will be our last class of Purposeful Business for 2022, and if you join by the end of day Tuesday, September 13th, you can still get a $200 discount on the program (bringing the cost under $1,000), by using the code “Purpose200” at http://www.purposefulbusinesscourse.com/.

It's Amy here and today my husband Drew and I are diving into what it looks like when you come to your partner with your big idea! We wanted to paint a picture of how some of these conversations may go by sharing our own experiences when I started Expecting and Empowered with my sister, and with the businesses that followed that one. In this episode, you'll not only hear how I approached getting the buy-in for these businesses from Drew, but what his thoughts were as the analytical thinker that he is. He reveals his expectations for my business in the beginning, the biggest challenges we encountered in those early years, and his advice for how you can start the conversation with your partner to discuss the business that you've been dreaming of creating. Next week is the last launch of 2022 Purposeful Business!

We're back with another Behind the Scenes episode, and by now you know that these are some of our very favorite episodes to record and bring to you! We're so busy right now working inside of our business, and we realized that it was important to share what is happening at Pursuing HER Purpose with you, because there will be times where you too will work inside of your business and won't have much outside things to show. In this episode, you'll hear all about what our month has looked like, the ways in which we're gearing up for our next Purposeful Business launch, and what we're doing to make sure that we're steering this ship in the right direction. Kat also shares a very special personal announcement, along with how it will impact the way that we approach the remainder of this year! We hope that you are enjoying your summer (so far!) and taking the time to do the things that make you feel whole, outside of pursuing your business goals.

Whether you want to grow your business or simply have more control of your business, this episode is for you. I met my guest, Brendan McGurgan, when he reached out to me regarding an article I had published on Forbes. He is someone who has really walked the talk. As a CEO, he has scaled a company from a couple dozen employees to seven hundred employees. He retired as CEO and decided to launch a business to help other entrepreneurs scale. Brendan's model of growing a business starts with psychology and mindset with tools and strategies to build a vision and to build resiliency. You don't often hear of these methodologies in any other approaches to growing a business, yet they are fundamental in creating real change. If you'd like to grow a business that doesn't own you, and you seek autonomy, freedom AND growth…listen in. What You'll Learn- The number one thing that stops entrepreneurs from scaling The root of what we often call “lack of ambition” What it means to scale with purpose How to create certainty in your scaling approach Why detaching yourself from your organization is key How to inspire your people to strive towards your vision Re-evaluating how your psyche is affecting your business The science behind where many of our fears come from How Brendan leverages Wim Hof's work personally and professionally Resources- Website: https://simplescaling.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendan-mcgurgan-11854a13/ Book available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09T5K4BW9/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 Book: “Start with Why” by Simon Sinek About Brendan- Brendan is a global business leader who builds profitable, scalable businesses by delivering on his strong personal belief that if you have a wonderful product or service then you have an obligation to Scale. Over seventeen years, twelve as CEO of CDE Group, he helped the company achieve 25x revenue growth and become an industry leader. During his time as CEO the company delivered almost £500 million ($750 million) cumulative revenue and £50 million ($75 million) cumulative profit, scaled from 15 to almost 700 employees spanning 6 continents and exported to more than 100 countries. Driven by his own desire to inspire, connect and enable ambitious leaders of SMEs to scale with purpose, he co-founded Simple Scaling with Claire Colvin with whom he co-authored the Amazon Best-Seller, Simple Scaling: 10 Proven Principles to 10x your business. In 2016, he was awarded the Institute of Directors, UK Young Director of the Year and Overall, Director of the Year. Brendan is also a coach and mentor to scaling CEOs, a regular keynote speaker, the host of the popular ScaleX™ Insider Podcast and graduated in 2021 as a Wim Hof Method Instructor.
Podcasting has really taken off in the past couple of years, and this may leave you wondering if you should start a podcast and if having one could work for your business. As you probably know by now, at Pursuing HER Purpose we love podcasts, and today we want to answer these questions for you! In this episode you'll hear what is happening in the podcast industry, particularly with female listenership, why all three of us love podcasting so much, and the different ways to monetize a podcast (even with a newer podcast in a narrow niche). We share our experiences in launching and running multiple podcasts now, and how podcasting can position you as an authority in your field of expertise and lead to tremendous opportunities, as it has for Amy! If you have a podcast on your heart and a message you just know the world needs to hear, we would love to have you in the first group of our Purposeful Podcast Course. This course will walk you through exactly how to make and launch a podcast, and you'll have the opportunity to join very soon, on June 21st! For the first 50 people that join, we're going to send you a physical workbook with your order, as we have done with our Purposeful Business students, and this will expand on what you learn inside the course. Our Purposeful Business students will have first dibs to join, and then we are going to open spots to our waitlist that you can sign up for at https://view.flodesk.com/pages/6261bd1546c9ddac82188a5f!

Brooke Ozlem Erol: Her Stories of Individual and Organizational Purpose How does passion mix in with the motivation behind your work? What does it mean to discover a meaningful job career? Sarah Elkins is joined by author and Founder of Purposeful Business, Brooke Ozlem Erol, as they discuss exploring purpose in both business and life. Check it out today! Discovering Clarity One Bite at a Time course is now available! “How does what you do contribute to others?” - Brooke Ozlem Erol *podcast show notes contributed by Tracy Ackeret --- About Brooke: Brooke wants a lot more people to find meaning at work, to use their gifts and potential instead of just getting a paycheck and waiting for weekends and retirement to have joy. All Brooke does with coaching, speaking, writing, and consulting ties to this purpose of hers. See Brooke's LinkedIn, YouTube, Organizational Purpose Topics, and Individual Purpose Topics. --- ABOUT SARAH: "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.

It's time again for another Behind the Scenes episode, which we love doing so much! We do these episodes so that you can see what is going on inside of our business, and our hope is that by sharing our experiences it will help you as you build and grow yours. As you know, last week we launched our signature offer, Purposeful Business, for the second time ever (you can check out Episode 34 to hear how the first launch went)! Today we pull back the curtains on the second launch, starting with the things that we did leading up to it, to how the numbers look as of the time we recorded this episode, to the biggest lessons that we learned this time around and what we will be trying on our next launch. We are so happy with how this launch went and we can't wait to serve our new students. We can already tell that there is something really special about this group, and we've seen such a high level of energy from them already! We have a big pivot coming! The next Pursuing HER Purpose course is in the works, and you can expect there to be a podcasting course hopefully by this summer. We know you have important messages to share with the world, and we want this course to be a cost and time-effective way for you to get your podcast off the ground and to your audience. In this course you'll learn the strategies for growing your downloads, monetizing your show, and so much more, right from the start! We get asked from our community daily about how to start a podcast, which is why we're so excited to be bringing this to you.

Today, we're going to talk about what living in alignment with our purpose actually means to us, and what it looks like in our daily lives.We want you to have the tough conversation with yourself so that you can gain clarity too, and we'll be here when you want to take the leap, especially if that means building something of your own.

It's time for another Behind the Scenes look at our business, and we're so excited to share this one with you! This month a big conversation for us was the workloads we each have and the sustainability of them, which is why we wanted to dedicate an episode to this subject.The purpose of this episode is to encourage you to think about your own workload and processes, even if you're a solopreneur. What is sustainable right now, and what is not sustainable in the long-term for you? Where could your systems get better so that things could feel more sustainable, and what can you remove to give yourself more freedom? All 3 of us are really committed to living out the values of balancing work and life outside of work. We've always felt that we want to move at a pace that lets us feel well, feel creative, and be in alignment with our values, and today we reveal a few examples of what we're doing to make this happen. As you'll hear in this episode, we're relaunching our next cohort of Purposeful Business very soon, on April 18th, 2022! If you are not already on the waitlist and this episode is making you excited to take part, you'll want to sign up here to be the first to get information on when you can reserve your spot!

Today we are so excited to introduce one of our new favorite authors to the Pursuing HER Purpose community! Tanya Dalton is a mother, business owner, and author of two books, including her latest work, On Purpose: The Busy Woman's Guide to an Extraordinary Life of Meaning and Success. Tanya's words really hit home and resonate with us for why we created this podcast, because living on purpose isn't about changing who you are, but it's rising up to become the best version of you. This conversation with Tanya helped bring so much clarity on the topics that many women in our community are working on right now, such as goal setting, imposter syndrome, what to do if you're multi-passionate, time management, and so much more! If you love this episode with Tanya, make sure to head over to Apple Podcasts, or your favorite podcast app, and leave us a review!

Today's episode is going to be a little bit different, as we are talking about the experiences that we each had before becoming entrepreneurs and how the skills we gained translated well into what we do now.When we embarked on this journey of Pursuing HER Purpose, we realized that one thing many women are getting stumped on is how the skills they acquired at their job can be translated to owning a business or working for a small business. It is our hope that you find possibility in this episode, as we've made it super tangible with mindset shifts and strategies that you can implement right away. The whole point of this episode is to make you feel empowered in those skills that you've worked really hard to develop, and we know that each of our previous careers have really helped us now with Pursuing HER Purpose. We encourage you to not play small, and to remember that you can learn anything you need to on this journey. Every one of us was a new entrepreneur at one time, and we all had to figure it out too. We're here to help you do just that, if you feel yourself called to do something new or more aligned with your purpose. After all, this is your beautiful shot at this thing called life!Links & Resources:https://www.pursuingherpurpose.com/podcast/kateborsatohttps://www.pursuingherpurpose.com/podcast/episode-9-are-you-burnt-out-from-your-day-job-with-colleen-bordeaux https://www.canva.com/https://asana.com/https://www.voxer.com/ Let's connect!Purposeful Week Planner: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.com/shopWaitlist for Purposeful Business: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/615b95bff88d548e68f5c1f2Our WEBSITE: https://www.pursuingherpurpose.comINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/pursuingherpurpose/MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer/MEET KAT: https://www.instagram.com/kat.herro/ MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen/

In this episode, Hannah and I tapped on the six pillars that are essential in building a purposeful and profitable business (which we'll have an in-depth discussion in the 12-week coaching program). Hannah is a genuine friend of mine, a queen of productivity, strategic systems, schedules and scaling. Our strengths look totally different, but our philosophy and approach to life and business is so similar - which is why we've decided to join forces to offer a group coaching program for service-providers to help increase profits and minimise the scattered to-do lists.
