2022 is finally here and it's time to #levelup, friend. Whether it be your business model, your self-care model (yup, that's a thing!) or the way in which you conduct relationships (with others and yourself) and routine, levelling-up is better than a new year's resolution. We promise. Why? Because it's actionable. Book references: Alyssa's - Start Something That Matters by Blake MycoskieDakota's - Fix This Next by Mike Michalowicz--- Follow us on Instagram (@ladieswholaunchpod), and Facebook (LadiesWhoLaunchPod), or email us at ladieswholaunchpod@gmail.com to find out more about us and be notified when new episodes release!

#527 I'm so excited for this episode. We are speaking with one of my favorite people in the world: Michael Bungay Stanier. Michael is an author who's written a bunch of amazing books. He's also the founder of a training and development company, Box of Crayons, that has taught coaching skills to hundreds of thousands of people. In fact, one of Michael's books has been hugely impactful on my own business, and it's called The Coaching Habit. The Coaching Habit has guided the exact process I use when I coach my students—you can hear it in action when I'm coaching people on AskPat 2.0. Speaking of coaching, Michael also wrote another game-changing book called The Advice Trap, about how we default to offering advice to people before we know the full circumstances, and how to change our behavior to be more helpful to them. But the big focus of today's conversation is Michael's new book, How to Begin: Start Doing Something That Matters. And this book is incredible because it gets to the heart of why we do what we do. How do we make sure that what we're going to do moving forward is actually something that, like Michael says, matters? How do we have the courage to let go when we need to? And how do we navigate the raging waters that sometimes happen when making these decisions? We talk about how to know whether or not the direction we're going is one that lights us up. You're going to love this conversation because Michael is just a great, genuine person, with a ton of amazing insights to share.

Michael Bungay Stanier is on a mission to ‘un-weird coaching' and make it a skill set available to anyone. His books have sold over a million copies and Michael has taught more than 200,000 people. As a big fan of his writing, I wanted to talk to him about why being more ‘coach-like' is so valuable – both for us and for the people we work with – and how to get better at it. We also discussed what Michael's learned from handing over the role of CEO at the company he founded, his new book ‘How to Begin', and why he's interested in exploring the power of giving away power...

Im Jahr 2006 begegnete der junge Unternehmer Blake Mycoskie auf einer Reise durch Argentinien Kindern, die zu arm waren, um sich Schuhe leisten zu können. Die daraus resultierenden Verletzungen an den Füßen führten oft zu schweren gesundheitlichen Problemen. Mit Hilfe eines örtlichen Schuhmachers machte sich Mycoskie daran, Aktivismus und Mode in Form eines einheimischen Segeltuchschuhs zu vereinen - dem Alpargata. Mit der Gründung von TOMS Shoes (Tomorrow's Shoes) entwickelte Mycoskie ein unkonventionelles Geschäftsmodell, welches er selbst als "One for One" bezeichnet. Für jedes verkaufte Paar würde TOMS ein Paar neue Schuhe an ein bedürftiges Kind spenden. Mit nur zweihundert Paar handgefertigten Schuhen, Optimismus und unternehmerischem Charisma brachte Mycoskie TOMS erfolgreich in die Modewelt. Heute schmückt der Segeltuchschuh die Füße von Berühmtheiten wie Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johansson und Tobey Maguire. Fan vom Literatursenf?

Hear a few quotes from Marie Forleo and Brendon Burchard around starting

Until you start something that really matters to both you and the world, you probably won't be living as fulfilling of a life as you could. Here’s a simple framework to do just that.KEY POINTSFirst step is to just gather all your ideas, and evaluate to what degree would you love doing each of them. Then examine to what degree would each idea make a positive impact in the world?Ask yourself: To what degree, one to 10, would each of these things challenge me, require me to show up at my best?Finally, rank each of those ideas according to their ability to help you achieve your life goals.FREE EBOOKFree Digital Copy of my best selling book The 3 Alarms:https://www.ericpartaker.com/the3alarmsPlease rate and review my podcast here: https://ratethispodcast.com/eric

Long after they moved from Mexico to Wichita, Kansas, Eddie Sandoval’s parents still savored the taste of home. Each time the family went back to Mexico for a visit, they’d pick up some pinole—roasted, ground corn that’s made into baked goods and drinks. Eddie remembers mixing it with water to quench thirst in the summer, and sipping it warm with cinnamon and sugar in the winter. Wichita has a sizeable population of people who have immigrated from Mexico. Still, the Sandovals couldn’t find their beloved beverage nearby. So, Eddie decided to start a company to provide it. On this week’s episode of #WeGotGoals, he explains how and why. One key motivator was the Tarahumara—the sandal-wearing ultrarunning tribe made famous by the book Born to Run. They hail from the same region of Mexico as the Sandovals, and drink pinole to power their endurance efforts. During Christmas break of his senior year at Wichita State University, Eddie tracked down a supplier of organic, non-genetically modified blue corn (given its hue by the same types of health-promoting antioxidants as blueberries). He loaded up a truck in Mexico and drove it back to his parents’ garage. That was the start of Pinole Blue, a company that now sells powders, energy bites, cookies, and tortillas online and in close to 300 stores in 18 states. In line with our focus on Contributing Generously, giving back has always been central to Eddie’s business model—a portion of his proceeds go to benefit the Tarahumara, and he’s sponsored Tarahumara runner Lorena Ramírez. On this episode, we discuss: 2:29: Exactly what pinole is, and why it’s so popular with the Tarahumara 4:48: Why Eddie decided to start a business as a college student 6:38: The big goal he’s accomplished, and why keeping a focus on generosity has been critical 10:25: The first steps to getting the word out—including Craig’s List and Facebook marketplace—and the big break that helped him take things to the next level 13:39: Challenges he’s faced along the way (including some top-notch cornmeal puns—the grind never stops!) 15:53: How his age—he’s still only 24—both hinders and helps him 17:37: The advantages pinole has as a fuel for athletes 20:07: His big goals for the future, including the dream sports stars he’d love to sponsor 24:57: How he stays balanced as a busy entrepreneur 25:49: His number-one secret to success thus far Links/resources we mention: The Pinole Blue website, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook pages Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen, the 2009 book by Christopher McDougall Start Something That Matters, the book by TOMS Shoes and One for One founder Blake Mycoskie Lorena, Light-Footed Woman, the Netflix documentary about Tarahumara runner Lorena Ramírez   If you love this episode as much as we do, subscribe to the #WeGotGoals podcast wherever you like to listen to podcasts, including on Apple and Spotify (and hey, leave us a rating while you’re at it!).

Lena, Sonnenkind qua DNA, startet nach dem Abi mit work & travel. Zusammen mit ihrer Zwillingsschwester erkundet sie Neuseeland und jobbt in Hotels. Anschließend bereist sie Malta, Zypern und Spanien, arbeitet hier in Hotels als auch mit Kindern und Jugendlichen. Ihr erster Berufswunsch Gedanke: Lehramt mit Sprachenfokus! Letztlich entscheidet sich Lena jedoch für ein Kommunikationswissenschaften Studium und bleibt dabei ihrer Reise- und Auslandsleidenschaft treu. Sie beginnt an der Uni in Groningen in Holland. Ein großes Geschenk hier mit rund 20 verschiedenen Kulturen lernen zu dürfen. Nach einem Praktikum beim Dockville Festival in Hamburg sattelt sie noch ihren Master in Kulturmanagement obenauf. Sie studiert in Barcelona sogar mit 27 unterschiedlichen Nationalitäten. Eine bereichernde Erfahrung und großes „learning“ - nirgendwo, so Lena, bekommt man die eigenen Werte so unmittelbar gespiegelt wie in dieser bunten Mischung aus unterschiedlichsten Kulturen. Am meisten lerne sie immer im Umgang und von und mit anderen. Nach dem Abschluss geht Lena erneut nach Hamburg und wird kurzerhand beim Co-working Space Mindspace als Community Managerin eingestellt. Der dort vorherrschende Start Up Spirit infiziert und begeistert sie dermaßen, dass sie sich nach wie vor dafür einsetzt, um unbedingt den Impacthub nach Hamburg zu bringen. Der Impacthub ist ein globales Netzwerk, mit dem Ziel, weltweit Sozialunternehmer zu unterstützen, die ihr unternehmerisches Handeln an sozialen und ökologischen Werten orientieren. Aktuell organisiert sie im Team mit literweise Herzblut und Hirnschmalz das Event Projekt „Weciety World“. Ein lebendiger Konferenz Tag mit Inspirationen rund um das Thema “Start something that matters“. Ziel: unterschiedlichste Menschen miteinander in den Kontakt zu bringen und ohne jedweden Zeigerfinger die Diskussion anzuregen in welcher Gesellschaft wir leben wollen. Workshops, Vorträge, tolle LIVE Musik und sogar Mediation Session bilden das Gerüst des 29. Septembers im Mindspace. Lenas Offenheit, Optimismus und Fröhlichkeit, Neugierde und Dankbarkeit steckt an: ihre wunderschöne Haltung gerade gegenüber ihren engsten Vertrauten im Leben: „das beste in mir sieht das beste in Dir“. Ein zuversichtliches Grundvertrauen bringt sie ins Tun, „man muss ins Machen kommen, damit es weiter geht“. Von oder durch etwaige Fehler können wir nur lernen, nicht alles en Detail durchplanen, sondern „learning by doing“. Auch bezogen auf eines Lenas Herzensthemen, Nachhaltigkeit, agiert sie tolerant: ein jeder könne einfach im Kleinen beginnen. Kaufentscheidungen hinterfragen, mit anderen darüber reden, voneinander lernen und erfahren, wie vielleicht der Nachbar lebt und entscheidet. Ein Bank- oder Stromanbieter Wechsel ist ein guter Start. „Wenn man es probiert ist doch schon schön“, so Lena. Lenas Fixstern „Dankbarkeit“ drückt sich auch darin aus, dankbar zu sein, dass wir dermaßen privilegiert sind uns überhaupt mit derlei Themen befassen dürfen und können. Jeden Tag schreibt sie nieder wofür sie dankbar ist. Ihre lebensbejahende und optimistische Haltung zieht Lena auch aus der Energie des „machen“ und der Erkenntnis: wenn ich was vermeintlich kleines schaffe, dann kann ich doch noch viel größeres in Gang bringen. Ihr Glaube an das Gute im Menschen ist zudem kein naives „gutgläubig“ sein. Ihr Wunsch: noch mehr miteinander zu reden und mit weniger Ego voneinander zu lernen. Eine gerechtere Grundverteilung und einander mit Dankbarkeit gegenüberzutreten. Ihre Sonnenkind Akkus lädt Lena gerne in ebendieser und der Natur auf - rausgehen, sich den Wind durch den Kopf pusten zu lassen oder auch mal bewusst gar nichts zu tun, was mit den aktuellen Aufgaben zu tun hat. Meditieren, in die Sauna gehen und Power durch und mit anderen Menschen tanken, Veranstaltungen besuchen. ...vollständiger Text in den Shownotes...

Vor ein paar Tagen habe ich mit der wundervollen Sara Nuru an unserem Wohnzimmertisch Kuchen gegessen und mit ihr ein super inspirierendes Interview über ihren Weg aufgenommen. Sara war 2009 die Gewinnerin der Casting Show Germanys Next Topmodell und ist heute gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester Gründerin ihres eigenen StartUps NuruCoffe, das Kaffee aus Äthiopien importiert und Mikrokredite an Frauen vor Ort vergibt. Gleichzeitig zu ihrem Sieg bei der Castingshow begann sie sich für die Organisation Menschen für Menschen in Äthiopien zu engagieren und erlebte den extremen Kontrast zwischen der Modellwelt und den täglichen Herausforderungen von den Menschen in Äthiopien.    In unserem Gespräch erzählt sie von ihren Erfahrungen, was sie auf ihrem Weg gelernt hat und wie es dazu gekommen ist, dass sie heute ihr eigenes Unternehmen führt.    Du erfährst in dieser Folge:  Warum es so wichtig ist, dem Ungewissen zu folgen  Wie du entspannter mit Bewertungen und Kritik von anderen umgehen kannst  Was der wichtigste Turning Point in Sara's Leben gewesen ist  Was Sara's Vision ist und wie sie damit Frauen in Äthiopien unterstützt  Wie du einen Sinn findest, in dem was tust  Warum es so wichtig ist, sich auch eine Auszeit zu nehmen  Warum der beste Weg letztlich immer ist, es einfach zu machen  Ich wünsche dir ganz viel Freude bei dieser Folge und bin gespannt auf deine Gedanken. Teile sie wie immer super gern mit mir auf Instagram @lauramalinaseiler (https://www.instagram.com/lauramalinaseiler/).    Links zu Sara Nuru nuruWomen https://www.nuruwomen.org/ nuruCoffee https://www.nurucoffee.com/ Instagram: @saranuru https://www.instagram.com/saranuru/   Buch-Tipp von Sara:  Start Something That Matters von Blake Mycoskie https://amzn.to/2Qkik6v   Weitere Links aus der Folge:    MEIN NEUES BUCH: Du kannst ab jetzt mein neues Buch vorbestellen Schön, dass es dich gibt!

TOMS is one of those companies that have come up with a unique business model which is inspiring other entrepreneurs […] The post MDE 54: Book Review of ‘Start Something That Matters’ by Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS appeared first on The Career Farm.

We can talk about & analyze business all we want on this show, but at the end of the day the force of life is the drive for fulfillment; so start something that matters. This episode is a celebration of our 100th episode together and we thought it was a perfect time to discuss how we were able to find and start something that mattered deeply to us, and how you can, too. In this episode we open up about our process for finding and starting something that matters, the insights we've gained since our beginnings two years ago, and how this episode signifies major changes in the business and some smaller changes to this podcast. It's one of the more authentic episodes we've done and we think it'll be able to help you figure out how to start something that matters...or recalibrate what you're already doing to make it matter more. Thanks for joining us on episode 100! Key Takeaways from the Show The two spiritual needs that humans need satisfied for lifelong fulfillment How to find something that matters before actually starting it How to actually start something that matters Why "finding a need and filling it" is the wrong way to go when you want to start something that matters Why the business you'll start won't be the business you have What we've learned in the process and how you can apply it to your business

How many times have you complained about something but done nothing to fix it? Have you ever noticed something and thought: Someone should do something about that? We’ve all had these thoughts because we cannot solve every problem we encounter. BUT, there are times when that someone is YOU and when you set your mind to it, you most certainly can do something that matters. Modern technology makes it easy for us to DO something quickly, efficiently and positively. We each truly have the power – more than ever before – to be the change that we seek.

After you've started your own project and create something, I've mentioned how you leave The Ordinary World. You hear your call to purpose and act on it. First of all, that's awesome because most people never do this their whole life and go to the grave with their best ideas still inside them. Just by listening to this podcast, you're asking yourself the questions that many people are too afraid to ask themselves. So, that deserves some recognition. But, something unique happens after you reach a turning point and experience a level of success. It's like you've climbed so far up a mountain and got to the top and experience the high of being on top of Everest, then realize the hardest part is ahead of you. You still need to come down the mountain and that requires you to be even more dedicated. In fact, to keep going with the mountain climbing metaphor, most deaths on Mt. Everest happen on the way down. Just read the book Into Thin Air by one of my favorite authors, Jon Krakauer to know what I mean.  And I think you've all been there before. So, first I'd like to offer two tips to resist the temptation to quit and then one tip about when YOU SHOULD quit. 1. Have Faith In Yourself So, I've always loved learning about religions. And it's incredible when you look at religious texts, how the temptation to quit is a recurring theme. In the Christian Bible, for instance, when Moses was leading the Hebrews out of Egypt and  to the land of milk and honey, he great weak and tired. He said in the Book of Numbers, “I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.” Moses had faith in God as a higher power that it would work on well in the end. Depending on whatever religion you believe or don't believe in, have faith in your beliefs. For me, I do believe that when you live your life on purpose and it comes from a source of love and compassion, there are outside forces that help guide you on your path. But, also have faith in yourself. You have talents, you have a genius, and only you can walk the path you're walking. You're on your path for a purpose. 2. One Step at a Time Personally, I've always hated this piece of advice “one step at at time.” I know it comes from the 12-step model that's popular in recovery programs, but it bugs me. I'm a let's run kind of guy, jump into the deep end, or parachute into a field kind of guy. So, one step at a time just bugs me. But, it's true even in those examples. When you're running, it's not about a big complicated process. It's about one simple process, one step at a time. When I would coach swimming or running and when I was out on a long run or a swim, I would think about it. One time when I swam a 10k in the Hudson River, I remember being underneath the George Washington Bridge and wanting to quit swimming. I was cold, the river smelled terrible with gasoline, and I thought about how much longer I still had to swim. I focused on stroke at a time. When Lance Armstrong was asked what he thought about when he ride for over 5 hours on his bicycle, he said one pedal stroke at a time. Up and down. It's very Zen. When you focus on one step at a time, it allows you to be in the present and not get caught up in the distraction of the future or the past. It's allows you to focus on being here now. 3. Sometimes You Should Quit No, if you're climbing Mt. Everest and you don't want to come down, you shouldn't quit. You should muster up every cell of strength you have to get down to the bottom. That's the real finish line there. Just google Beck Weathers to see what I mean about this. His story is incredible. But, sometimes you should quit. You should quit when it's not working. You should quit physical daily habits that are not serving your greater good. Junk food. Not enough sleep. You should quit being friends with people who bring you down or dis-empower you. You should quit your job if you live for the weekends, are miserable during the day, or spend your day complaining about your job with your coworkers. Easier said that done I know. Trust me, I'm terrible at quitting something. I'm a Capricorn and am good at charging up a mountain, but terrible at stopping to reflect and go, should I continue to climb this mountain? For example, I quit racing triathlon a couple of years ago. I had put three dedicated years of training, sometimes over 15 hours a week, and done really well. But I went too far and dipped into overtraining. My mind was in this terrible cycle of thought that went made sense at the time, but now I realize how stupid it was. I had hurt my ankles and should have stopped cycling, but I was afraid to lose the aerobic endurance benefits of the many months of training I had put in to get so fast. That's how aerobic training works. For a cyclist to ride his bike for 5 hours at a fast speed, it had little to do with that day. It had to do with the many months of slow aerobic training to get there. I remember making the decision to quit when my ankles hurt so bad that I couldn't even dance at my friend's wedding. That was an ah-ha moment for me and I realized how stupid I was being. Looking back now, I realize that I should have stopped about a year earlier. Now, I'm able to use that lesson to help guide me on when I should quit things in my life. I also quit podcasting at one point too. I had run this podcast about transforming education and interviewed the movers and shakers who were transforming education all around the world. It was a lot of fun, but barely anyone listened. So, after 20 or so episodes, I called it quits and started up The Traveling Cup podcast which got triple the amount of people listening. So, here's the point. Don't always look at quitting as stopping something. Look at it as the ability to Start Something. Start Something That Matters. Time is our greatest value and we only have so many hours in the day. Quit doing those things that zap your energy, so you can start those things that empower you on your life on purpose. Reach out and say hi on Twitter and say Hi :)    @markwguay

Sometimes your dreams for living a great life and having more personal freedom can seem so far away. Yet, no matter where you are on the path, never let your small beginnings make you small-minded. When people express that your ambitions are impossible, keep going. When your dreams don’t come true instantaneously, remember it is through struggle, effort and desire that you get from here to there. Following your dreams isn’t foolish; what’s foolish is not believing in your dreams and following other peoples’ path instead of your own. You become who you want to become by enacting habits that move you forward every day. The choices and practices you make in life are the building blocks that build a better reality.  Often, you don’t even know what’s possible until you’ve marched towards your dream; only with momentum does the path reveal itself and the goal get clearer. Epiphanies come as you move toward something that matters.  Never let your current conditions or circumstances limit your vision or actions. Never let your current skill set limit your belief of what is possible for you or what you’re capable of. Wherever you are today, you can develop new habits to get you to your dream.  Success and fulfillment come from your unflagging ability to believe in what other people call impossible. Chase your dreams, believe in yourself and you will start to experience incredible levels of engagement and enthusiasm with life. No matter how small you start, start something that matters. Soon, you will begin to experience what we call The Charged Life! This is Brendon freestyle, without notes or prompter.
