“You need to be able to take a stand. Extend your voice. Be pointedly focused on what you offer and the vision that you have, in order to impact the people that you say you want to impact.” - Dr. Chris JohnsonConfidence and the mind-body connectionDr. Chris Johnson has joined me again this week to discuss a foundational piece in the leadership puzzle. Bringing our full value to any endeavor begins with being able to take a stand for ourselves. When we demonstrate our conviction in this way, it, in turn, lends to others’ conviction in our authority and ability. We previously discussed the importance of owning your value in episode 21. Being able to confidently convey it is the next step - and the way we carry ourselves is intrinsically tied to this ability. Chris draws from her existing knowledge of embodied leadership and her Aikido martial arts practice to create a commanding presence and center herself. She shares her insights on how to practice growing your presence and self-awareness to ultimately project your inner strength and achieve your goals. The tangible impact [1:30] “The challenge about speaking up shows up in multiple ways…The most common are not sharing good ideas or opinions during meetings, not being able to promote themselves and their team. In avoiding conflict, staying silent or small leads to being undervalued and overlooked, and ultimately, to a lack of fulfillment, and possibly frustration.” [32:44] “I'd get pulled in to take on leadership roles, and yet never fully owned them. And that was because I didn't know if I knew enough, I didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings. I didn't want anybody else to feel bad if I happen to do something really well. And all of that was a story that I told myself, and then it took residence in my body. I was very narrow, and small, my energy was very constrained.” The importance of practice [23:00] ] “We can either close in and hunker down…Or we can choose to learn a very simple skill and practice of centering. And by that we mean centering in the body, relaxed…and then centering in something bigger than us, even if we don't know what that is. And lastly, centering in an action that we can then take. And once we can learn that simple practice (because you have to practice it). Pretty soon that practice starts to reshape us…“What matters is that we’re intentional. It’s based on what we care about, and that we’re consistently in deliberate practice.”  [29:00] “I like to say it's tolerating the discomfort at the edges because it's at the edges that literally, our neurobiology gets rewired. Hang out there in the discomfort for at least a little bit longer. Every time we do it, we're growing new pathways that allow us to expand our capacity.”Speaking about our accomplishments or sharing our thoughts in a meeting may bring physical sensations. We have to practice tolerating this discomfort though it feels unnatural. With time we grow accustomed to it. Resources mentioned in this episode:The Power of Pause in the Mindful Leader magazine:https://www.mindfulleader.org/blog/44061-the-power-of-a-pauseEpisode 21: Owning Your Value | Key Elements for Authenticity and Personal Power:https://rise-leaders.com/owning-your-value/A Guide to Owning Your ValueDownload GuideTo connect to Dr. Chris Johnson please follow:https://www.linkedin.com/in/drchrisljohnson/https://q4-consulting.com/Dr. Chris on Resilience:  https://q4-consulting.com/resilience/ To subscribe to the Rise Leaders newsletter for more resources: https://mailchi.mp/426e78bc9538/subscribeTo discuss executive coaching, leadership development program design, and workshop facilitation, please visit:https://rise-leaders.com/contact-info/

Woo-hoo a new year is coming! ;-) And it's time to start thinking about what you need to do differently to have a more peaceful, profitable business while giving yourself more freedom! More money means diddly squat if the way you're obtaining it is leaving you stressed, burnt out, time strapped and unmotivated. Of course a new year brings a sense of new ambition but you have to be careful to not let it blind you from the changes that need to be made for long term success. Here are two things to consider as you approach the new year: 1. How will it affect your life and your mental space if you took away the pressure you feel to constantly show up and rely on social media? 2. Social media is supposed to be social. It's supposed to be fun and something we do when we feel like it. But for many of us it's a sea of doubt and comparison. It's a platform to "sell" and "the only" way to make money online. What has social media become for you? In episode 91, on the God + business podcast, I'm sharing what will happen if you stop relying on social media in 2021 and how to restructure your mindset & business to make that happen. You ready?

Have you ever been caught up in your mind, questioning over and over why things aren’t working out? Wondering why you aren’t where you want to be in life? Or why you aren’t getting the desired results/manifesting what you want? If you have, welcome to being a human! These thoughts happen when we’re in our ego, our mind space. But when we connect to our bodies and our intuition, our lives become more pleasure-filled, more at ease, things work out, and we allow our desires and manifestations to come to us, rather than resisting them. If you want to learn more about getting out of your headspace and how to practice connecting to your intuition & your body so you can manifest your desires, catch the replay in the BossLadies Queendom FB group. Bekkah Foxx, EVP of Crowned for Success, will be talking about ~ Using intuition and embodiment to manifest your desires. ✨ JOIN: The training: https://crownedforsuccess.lpages.co/12daysofmanifestingmiracles-2020/ SUBSCRIBE: To the Manifesting Queens Society: https://paykstrt.com/24055/20899 OUR Programs: Run the World Coaching -- https://paykstrt.com/22940/20899/ The RVP Queens Society -- https://www.rvpqueen.com/sisterhood/ Side Hustle with ❤ -- https://paykstrt.com/15297/20899/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/crowned4success/support

Hey friends! Today’s episode was actually recorded in March of 2020 and given the topic, we didn’t feel it was appropriate to air it when it was originally scheduled to be released. However, the story is really powerful and important so I wanted to share it with you and hope you gain the inspiration for how you can grow your business any way you want! Thinking about selling your business? Even if you’re still in the early stages of entrepreneurship or if you’ve been at it for quite some time, it’s never a bad idea to at least consider the thought of one day selling your company. That’s why I invited on a past guest, Mary Beth Storjohann of Workable Wealth. Mary Beth was on the podcast for episode 28 and we talked about money misconceptions and the importance of knowing your numbers in business… Well, that has all paid off for her and today we talked about what it was like to sell her business. She shares the nitty-gritty of the decision-making process, how she weighed out the pros and cons, concerns she had and what non-negotiables she made sure were included in the contract (like the ability to work remote and live in Italy for 3 months out of the year!)  We discussed how her definition of success has evolved from the early days of business to now. She shares how this process gave her a glimpse into who she was and what was most important to her and she ultimately shares her candid advice to those who may be thinking about selling their business one day (and why you absolutely need a lawyer to help you with the process).  ON TODAY’S EPISODE: How Mary Beth defined success in the early days of her business Mary Beth’s experience with being approached with inquiries of buying and merging Her initial reaction to Abacus expressing interest in purchasing her business The concerns that came up that made Mary Beth decline the merger  Being offered the role of the Chief Marketing Officer to revamp their marketing  Her fears and frustrations around letting go of Workable Wealth Weighing each layer of her decision on whether or not to do the merger The non-negotiables that Mary Beth insisted on having in the company merger Planning her dream life and putting it all in her merger contract Keeping her rights to be able to run Workable Wealth Lessons that she’s learned about herself through this process How Mary Beth defines success now  Her advice for something thinking about selling their own business RESOURCES: 028 | Money Misconceptions & Financial Accountability with Mary Beth Storjohann, Workable Wealth Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand In the Sun and Be Your Own PersonHow are brick & mortar shop owners navigating Covid-19? Interview Series   MEET MARY BETH:  Mary Beth Storjohann is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER(TM) and has been a partner and Chief Marketing Officer with Abacus since 2019, following the merger with her firm, Workable Wealth. With over 14 years of experience in the financial services industry, she works as an author, speaker, and financial coach to apply a fun, albeit no-nonsense approach in working with entrepreneurial women and couples in their 30s – 50s across the country, helping them make smart, educated choices with their money.   CONNECT WITH MARY BETH:   Website: https://abacuswealth.comBlog: https://workablewealth.com/blog/ Podcast: https://workablewealth.com/wywpodcast/ Facebook: @workablewealth Instagram: @marybstorj Twitter: @marybstorj   SLOW STEADY GROWTH ARE HOW STRONG BUSINESSES ARE BUILT Building a business is a long game, won with patience, fortitude, intentional decisions and passion.​ Inside Proof to Product LABS, you’ll receive the support, education and accountability to move your business towards your goals.   ​Join Proof to Product Labs, our 12-month group coaching program built specifically for product based business owners.

“If we're going to spend the majority of our time doing work, there's got to be a good reason and meaning behind it. That’s where the shift is. When you do land on where you feel like you're in line with your purpose, it is easier to see the impacts, and you become a servant of that.” - Jonathan HaberkornStart with purposeCharging you work with purpose endows you with a greater sense of congruence between your professional and personal lives. Work then goes beyond the transactional aspects; supporting a life of intention and of fulfilling the promise of your potential.As the cofounder of Intrizen, Jonathan Haberkorn specializes in making sense of complex HR processes and organizing them in a way that emphasizes human interaction first. By prioritizing the people using the system and the process of promoting connections, he relies on purpose to fuel his craft.The Cornerstone of The Cathedral Story is our Orientation[13:41] “The bricklayer said, ‘I’m a bricklayer, I’m working hard to make money so I can feed my family.’ The second bricklayer said, ‘I’m a builder, I’m building a wall.’ And then the third guy says, ‘I’m a cathedral builder, I’m building a cathedral where people will worship.’ … Basically, they’re doing the same job, but the context and the orientation that they’re doing it with changes everything.“When we see how the work that we’re doing is going to be used, what’s the long term and even the multiplier impact it can have, it really changes. It changes the quality of our work.”We can approach our work as a series of tasks or as a meaningful part of a greater vision with many ripples.Purpose keeps us centered and whole[24:35] “So knowing that things don't always go to plan more times than not, and there're deviations that happen, what's our response to that? How are we going to react to it? We have the different ways we can react to it, we can be conscious about the way we're thinking and kind of deal with it and handle it and give perspective around it.”[28:45] “I used to think, okay, this is work, and then there's home life…there's definitely different aspects of life. But once I've really found my purpose, and have completely aligned to that, it all seems like one life to me. It's all intertwining with each other.”Purpose gives a perspective that transcends the silos of life.Links to Intrizen and Jonathan Haberkorn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhaberkorn/www.intrizen.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/weareintrizenFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/WeAreIntrizen/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weareintrizen/Twitter: https://twitter.com/WeAreIntrizenTo subscribe to the Rise Leaders newsletter for more resources: https://mailchi.mp/426e78bc9538/subscribeTo discuss executive coaching, leadership development program design, and workshop facilitation, please visit: https://rise-leaders.com/contact-info/ I specialize in helping leaders and organizations thrive.  Reach out if there’s a way I can support you.

Hey friends! Last week I got an email asking, “Do people really make money selling paper products and gift items?” I was floored! Based on the latest stats that I saw, the consumer products industry accounts for more than $635 billion with stationery alone raking in $8 billion.  The answer is an astounding yes. There are so many opportunities in this industry to make a good living and build a profitable and sustainable business. Many independent brands are pulling in over six and seven figures annually. Hear the 6 ways that people are making money selling their physical products in this episode. I break down each one and give a few thoughts on each strategy and give a little bit of advice on choosing a path to get started.    ON TODAY’S EPISODE: 6 ways people are making money selling physical products The basics about selling retail What it means to sell wholesale Why I don’t typically recommend consignment What a custom work project looks like What it means to do a licensing deal How you can partner with other brands  The path to getting started: choosing the right sales strategy for you   RESOURCES: Paper Camp Proof to Product LABS Thimblepress x Moon & Lola collaboration Autumn Witt Boyd The Contract Shop   SLOW STEADY GROWTH ARE HOW STRONG BUSINESSES ARE BUILT Building a business is a long game, won with patience, fortitude, intentional decisions and passion.​ Inside Proof to Product LABS, you’ll receive the support, education and accountability to move your business towards your goals.   ​Join Proof to Product Labs, our 12-month group coaching program built specifically for product based business owners.   SUBSCRIBE To subscribe on iOS, go to the iTunes page and subscribe to Proof to Product.

“This isn't just about squeezing more productivity out of the machine…we get discouraged, disheartened, and we give up on the things that are important to us. So one of the most important things that I see in this is to come back to what's important to me.”– Seth Braun Stagen Leadership AcademyMindful Life, Better LivingToday we have more distractions than perhaps at any time in history, with our attention bought and sold as a commodity; our electronic devices tempting us with the promise of instant gratification. With so much vying for our attention, the question becomes: How can we navigate life in a way that’s meaningful, purposeful, and creative?Attention management is a set of practices and habits that helps us increase the time we’re present, minimize distractions, and find flow. There are 4 zones to engage in: proactive, reactive, distraction, and waste. This week Seth Braun discusses Stagen's Attention Zones model and how being mindful of these states can help us plan for and allocate time effectively. Ultimately it can help us bring our unique gifts to the world by engaging in life in a satisfying and productive way. Beware the Distraction and Waste Zones[9:59] “I'm not going to tell you that Netflix is a distraction. Consider: what in your life is a distraction - and what's rejuvenating? There are certain things that I do in my family, like watching Netflix, where we laugh, and we have endorphins, and it’s rejuvenating, and it's family time. It's great. But then, where I start binge-watching and it's 11. Then it's 12…now I'm in a waste zone.”A “lazy” activity isn’t always considered wasteful by default. Sometimes it’s what we need. However, there’s a point of diminishing returns, and we must consider the balance.[19:20] “Most of us don’t come into the world highly disciplined, able to sit down and do the work. We need structures and practices to help us do that, including your 10-minute waste time.”Even “wasteful” time has its place in preparing you to be proactive.Be Guided by Your IdealsGenerally, anything in the proactive zone (with focused work) doesn’t come naturally and requires an act of volition.[19:50] “Any act of creation or volition, whether it involves anything involving exercise or starting a business. Anything that's…creative is going to have resistance.”[33:30] “The most important thing we can do to live a fulfilling, satisfying life is (to) have an ideal. Keep track of it each week, when we're planning our week, say, here's what's important to me, and I'm willing to go forward again.”To learn more about Seth Braun and the Stagen Leadership Institute please visit:https://stagen.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethdbraun/Stagen's Attention Management Core Practice Sheethttps://rise-leaders.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Stagen-Attention-Management-Core-Practice-Sheet.pdfBenjamin Franklin's Autobiography: https://www.amazon.com/Autobiography-Benjamin-Franklin/dp/B08C9616WW/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=benjamin+franklin&qid=1605824734&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExQklORjUySDVOTUo3JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTAxNzU5MkQ3VjBUNzNWOEo2SiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMDA1MjIxM0tYNDRIVzJPV0lEWSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=“In Over Our Heads” - Robert Kegan and Lisa Laheyhttps://www.amazon.com/Over-Our-Heads-Mental-Demands/dp/0674445880/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=In+Over+Our+Heads&qid=1605824766&sr=8-2To subscribe to the Rise Leaders newsletter for more resources: https://mailchi.mp/426e78bc9538/subscribeTo discuss executive coaching, leadership development program design, and workshop facilitation, please visit: https://rise-leaders.com/contact-info/I specialize in helping leaders and organizations thrive.  Reach out if there’s a way I can support you.

 "The pressure and expectation of organizational leadership demand emotional maturity, requiring leaders to be willing to do their internal work…we all must move away from leading from a place of fear and lack…and move toward vision and collaboration, which results in desired and sustainable outcomes."- LeeAnn Mallory, FounderRise Leaders The tables got turned during this episode, and I was interviewed by Jerry Magar, a wonderful friend and colleague. He was my lifeline! Listen to find out why...Two decades of coaching insightsLeadership coaching has become increasingly common in organizations. Because it’s a significant financial investment, it’s worth knowing what to expect and how to maximize the experience. Being aware of the situations that could benefit from coaching, and knowing the potential pitfalls before beginning, are useful to walking in confidently and ensuring it’s a rich, seamless process.The value of coachingThe more responsibility a leader gains and the broader the scope of their leadership, the more important that they're able to develop and maintain meaningful positive relationships across the organization and outside the organization, as well as think strategically and execute against that strategy.Leaders will hire a coach as they step into new and unfamiliar assignments and also as they face the inevitable bumps in the road. Having access to unbiased wisdom from outside the organization can provide a lifeline during times of transition and chaos. While they intuit the need to raise their awareness and increase their ability to respond to complex issues, the necessary feedback and support are often hard to come by.A Wholehearted ApproachMost important to a successful coaching engagement is a motivated client who is committed to doing the work and has a learning or growth mindset. The work will be intense at times and will require courage and humility.To subscribe to the Rise Leaders newsletter for more resources: https://mailchi.mp/426e78bc9538/subscribeTo discuss executive coaching, leadership development program design, and workshop facilitation, please visit: https://rise-leaders.com/contact-info/To contact Jerry Magar:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerrymagar/Website: http://jerrymagar.com/about-jerry-magar/I specialize in helping leaders and organizations thrive.  Reach out if there’s a way I can support you.  https://rise-leaders.com/contact-info/Remember...Elevate Your Part of the World!

In our conversation, she talked about the ah-ha moment she had where she realized there was space in the market for a line of products.  She shares her experiences in the Emerging Artists section of NSS for two consecutive shows including the pros and cons of exhibiting as an emerging artist versus having your own booth.  We also talked about how Jean defines success through the impact she makes on others.   ON TODAY’S EPISODE: How Jean started her business  Jean’s first steps after attending the National Stationery Show What led her to go the wholesale route rather than brick and mortar How Paper Camp helped her learn the playbook of the industry The initial quantifying goals she set for her business The benefits and drawbacks of participating in the Emerging Artists’ section of NSS What inspires Jean in her initiative of adding diversity and inclusiveness into her products How she defines success in her business What’s coming up next for Little Feet’s Opus   RESOURCES:National Stationery Show Paper Camp   MEET JEAN: I was born in Spring Valley NY, and currently live in Hamden CT with my two boys and husband.

“If we were able to have a more productive approach to uncertainty and ambiguity, we actually might find responses that make things better. But we want the easy answer. And it's our fascination with the easy answer, actually, that prolongs the chaos.”- Jay G. ConeOvercoming thinking trapsWe often find ourselves stuck - both individually and collectively - as a result of chaos, uncertainty, and unpredictability. In such times, it’s common to gravitate toward the easy answer, regardless if it’s the best way forward. When we fall into these thinking traps, we may oversimplify the problem to create a simple solution. This need for closure creates hasty action plans that can entrench you further into the problem - getting your mind “stuck.”Today Jay outlines tips for avoiding thinking traps and nurturing an “unstuck” mind that’s open to new possibilities. Much of it begins with knowing the right questions to ask (avoiding “What should I do?”) to forge a new way forward. Being able to adaptively respond to uncertainty is helpful, because expertise and learning from the past doesn’t necessarily provide a fail-proof roadmap for the future.The importance of building mental stamina[10:10] “[In chaos] the only responses that we have are based in the limbic system in the amygdala, and we want to fight or we want to flee. But if we can develop our stamina for thinking, when things are complicated or uncertain or ambiguous, then we're not as susceptible to the same ideas and…closed mindedness and tribalism, that tends to paralyze us.”[21:04] “And when you start focusing on simplistic answers, then you tend to hang out with people who have gravitated towards those same simplistic responses. And it gets to the point where it's just too difficult to be open to new information, different perspectives, or to continue processing things.”How to know you’re stuck[12:06] “One very common experience … you're really not clear on why it is that you can't achieve this goal. You make up all these reasons for why this attempt failed…So if a pattern emerges, there's a good chance that there's something more to be uncovered.”[16:44] “If someone expressed a point of view…and all of a sudden [you] have horrible judgments…if that’s a feeling you’re having, and it’s one you’re not particularly proud of or that doesn’t make sense to you, that might be a leading indicator of stuckness as well.”Identify quicksand questions [25:00] “One of the things that you can look at is the way people pose questions because the way people frame a question about a situation they want to change reveals a lot about how they're thinking and feeling.”[28:16] “All these things that we want other people to do, we just frame a question around them and we work toward altering the behavior - rather than trying to understand whether we as leaders, organizations, are complicit and whether there’s something other than their behavior that needs to change.”Get in touch with Jay Conehttps://unstuckminds.com/contact/Resources: Blog: https://unstuckminds.com/receive-periodic-tips-insights-and-ideas-from-unstuck-minds/Free Assessment:https://unstuckminds.com/your-thinking-to-action-profile/https://unstuckminds.com/https://www.facebook.com/unstuckminds/%3Fref=bookmarkshttps://twitter.com/unstuck_mindsBlindspots (book) Hidden Biases of Good People:https://www.amazon.com/Blindspot-Hidden-Biases-Good-People/dp/1491528869To subscribe to the Rise Leaders newsletter for more resources: https://mailchi.mp/426e78bc9538/subscribeTo discuss executive coaching, leadership development program design, and workshop facilitation, please visit:https://rise-leaders.com/contact-info/I specialize in helping leaders and organizations thrive.  Reach out if there’s a way I can support you.

I had a conversation with Biff earlier this year, pre-COVID (episode 146 if you want to take a listen) and it seems like it was an eternity ago! I was so happy that Biff agreed to come back on to discuss his personal journey of being a store owner during the time of COVID. In this episode, Biff shares how his store sales have fluctuated this year and how his buying strategies have shifted from larger orders that were further out to smaller, more consistent orders. Biff talked about the new marketing strategies that his team and he have implemented to build relationships with their shop customers.  Be sure to listen closely to the two golden nuggets that Biff shared on not being afraid to fail and making a statement with your products!    ON TODAY’S EPISODE: A rundown of Biff’s shop  Biff’s experience with closing and reopening during the pandemic The safety measures they put in place for the store re-opening How he dealt with managing his team and bringing on additional support How his sales have been this year compared to other years Shifts he’s made within his wholesale buying tactics and strategies What product makers and manufacturers can do to support their wholesale customers Where they’re sourcing products from during this pandemic Biff’s thoughts on seeing manufacturing processes slow down Why he decided to go live daily to reach customers at home What “easy buying” looks like for Biff His views on having a pre-pack RESOURCES: 146 | Leveraging point of sale systems in a brick & mortar with Biff Ulm, MN Nice Enough Zaiser’s Twisted Ware Avochato Hydro Flask    MEET BIFF: Hello!

“Embodied leadership has an edge over anything conventional, because it allows us to access all of who we are…rationally, cognitively, analytically, our capacity for empathy, and to take effective action based on sound decisions that we tune into that are congruent with our values.” – Dr. Chris JohnsonPhysical awareness leads to authenticity and better decision-makingThe world is becoming more Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous. For today’s leaders to stay ahead of the accelerated pace of change, it’s important to inspire trust and confidence in those with whom they work. Embodied Leadership practices help us achieve this.Leadership is often approached in a cognitive-first or “top-down” manner: first working to understand the skill, infusing emotional intelligence, and then acting in accordance with that knowledge. Conversely, embodied leadership draws from bodily awareness. In other words, shifting focus to the physical being to open up, relax, and in turn, create space mentally. Tuning into physical sensations and sensory experiences can center us. This nurtures a connection between body and mind that enables congruence and authenticity between mind and actions.My conversation with Dr. Chris Johnson today examines what embodied leadership is and how it can enable smarter decision-making, helping both the individual and the organization.It starts with a pause[13:16] “It might be a momentary pause, where I step back, take a breath, and in that breath, I can see and observe what's going on between you and I, and I can feel into myself, like what's congruent with my own values here, I can actually look at the broader horizon of work.[13:46] “A pause could be momentary, it could be short pause to create a deliberate practice of mindfulness. It could be a weekend pause… Those are the things we often think we don’t have time for, and we hit that point of diminishing returns.“Reminding ourselves and taking that pause to say, ‘What’s the bigger commitment, what’s the bigger vision?’ Align around that instead of getting sucked into the details.” Clear mind, clear path forward [22:16] “This is where mindfulness also comes in to help. When there's a lot of chatter [in the mind], it's really difficult to be clear-headed, clear-eyed, and clear-hearted about what's the most important. There’s a quote by Lao Tzu – ‘Can you be patient enough to let the mud settle so the right answer can arise?’…“If we intentionally create the space, and if we commit to it, as a part of the leadership pause, it can allow all of that mud to settle. So that whatever shows up in this moment, as the next right action is the one we see and can move toward.”Take care of yourself - and see a ripple effect[10:33] “Organizations and businesses of all sizes reflect their leaders. When your energy is high, and your actions are congruent with your words, your presence produces trust…While you can't erase the uncertainty your organization and people are facing, you do have the power to respond to their challenges with intention, integrity, and honesty.”[30:15] “Awareness is key for all leaders who are aspiring to lead in this VUCA world and be really present to the craziness and how to stay present in it - and maybe even enjoy the ride.”Resources mentioned in this episode:The Power of Pause in the Mindful Leader:https://www.mindfulleader.org/blog/44061-the-power-of-a-pauseEpisode 21: Owning Your Value | Key Elements for Authenticity and Personal Power:Listen to Episode 21: Owning Your ValueA Guide to Owning Your ValueDownload GuideTo connect to Dr. Chris Johnson please follow:https://www.linkedin.com/in/drchrisljohnson/https://q4-consulting.com/Dr. Chris on Resiliencehttps://q4-consulting.com/resilience/To subscribe to the Rise Leaders newsletter for more resources: https://mailchi.mp/426e78bc9538/subscribeTo discuss executive coaching, leadership development program design, and workshop facilitation, please visit:https://rise-leaders.com/contact-info/I specialize in helping leaders and organizations thrive.  Reach out if there’s a way I can support you.

Fulfillment has been a hot topic in our Proof to Product communities lately so I wanted to bring on a special guest to chat about how fulfillment works from the 3PL side of things. I was joined by Allen Befort of Givington’s, a fulfillment company that pays attention to the small details so you can focus on the bigger picture of your business. Allen jokes that he kind of fell into starting this business with a friend.  Seven years later they’ve seen great success and pride themselves on the relationships they’ve built with their customers and the genuine, personalized experience that they can create with their partners. Allen and I covered a lot of ground in this episode and it's rich with information for anyone who may be considering outsourcing their warehousing and fulfillment process. We went over the logistics of working with a 3PL including how to know if you’re ready, technology integrations they have, questions to ask when interviewing fulfillment centers and common pricing models.  We also talk about why it’s critical to build trust and relationships when outsourcing fulfillment.   ON TODAY’S EPISODE: What a third party logistics company or fulfillment center does How Allen got into this business The types of companies they usually work with Key indicators that you might want to outsource this part of your business How most of his clients have come to him What you can do to best prepare for outsourcing fulfillment How having barcodes helps to reduce human error How pricing works for fulfillment centers The best platforms for automating the fulfillment process Using 3PLs for marketplace selling Questions you should ask when considering outsourcing Misconceptions that people have when it comes with working for 3PLs How his company works with customers who have bulk, once a month shipments What’s coming next for his business   RESOURCES:Shopify WooCommerce WordPress Squarespace   MEET ALLEN: Married to Meg, with two cute blonde-haired kids and a third on the way. We live in Fayetteville, AR, an amazing town with a great community of friends. We kind of fell backwards into helping start and build Givington's in 2013 when one of our best friends was launching it and asked if we wanted to come along for the ride. 7 years later...we're still here.

Hey friends! I am really excited for you to listen in to today’s episode with Betsy Garcia of Bloomwolf Studio.  Betsy was on her way to medical school when she decided she wanted to pursue the small business life and sell her art. Bloomwolf Studio is a Latina owned & operated illustration and design studio based in Orlando that strives to create change through art and messaging.  In this powerful and transparent episode, Betsy and I talk about the mission behind Bloomwolf and how Betsy and her husband Luis actively weave their personal beliefs into their everyday business practices. Betsy shares details about developing and expanding her product line, including mistakes they made in their first product runs. We also talked about business finances.  At the beginning of 2020, Betsy and Luis set out to increase their annual revenue by 25% and they exceeded this in the first 8 months of the year.  Betsy talks about tools they use to track their financial progress and what they’ve done to pivot their business model to stay on track with these financial goals, despite the pandemic. And, we capped off the convo talking about  TikTok.  How she’s using it to promote her brand and products, how she gained 7,500 users in her first month on the platform and what she  does to plan out her marketing for the year.   ON TODAY’S EPISODE: Why she decided to start a business instead of pursuing medical school How they got started with zero background in business Their process of developing their first products How Betsy decided which products to add into her line Why she’s decided to be more vocal about social issues and the action steps they’re taking Her process for planning out her marketing strategy How she and Luis decided to reach for a 25% increase in annual revenue What they’ve done to pivot this year to stay on track toward financial goals New things they’ve implemented that weren’t in their 2020 plan Where they’re currently at in their revenue goal Tools they use to track their financial progress Her experience with using TikTok for her business   RESOURCES: Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine MEET BETSY:  Bloomwolf Studio is a Latina owned & operated illustration and design studio based in Orlando, Florida. Launched by husband and wife, Luis Sosa and Betsy Garcia, Bloomwolf Studio was started in November of 2015 after Betsy forewent her plans of applying to medical school. With the unwavering support of Luis, and no formal art training, Betsy began illustrating again in the summer of 2015, after not doing so for many years. This period helped renew her passion for art and helped cement her purpose, pushing her to follow her dreams of pursuing art as a career. Since then, thanks to Betsy’s passion and determination and Luis’s continued support, Bloomwolf Studio has evolved into the creative business it is today and has exhibited at national trade shows, participated in hundreds of pop-up markets, and their products are carried in over 400 small shops and boutiques nationwide. Bloomwolf’s small, but mighty team of three is now based in sunny Orlando.   CONNECT WITH BETSY:   Website: https://bloomwolfstudio.com Instagram: @bloomwolfstudio Facebook: @bloomwolfstudio TikTok: @bloomwolfstudio   SLOW STEADY GROWTH ARE HOW STRONG BUSINESSES ARE BUILT Building a business is a long game, won with patience, fortitude, intentional decisions and passion.​ Inside Proof to Product LABS, you’ll receive the support, education and accountability to move your business towards your goals.   ​Join Proof to Product Labs, our 12-month group coaching program built specifically for product based business owners.

Hey friends! Today I want to chat with you about the recent Faire Summer market and share both insights and concerns after leading hundreds of people through what is likely our first of many online trade shows. I’m happy to report that our Paper Camp alumni community and LABS members had some strong sales during the show.  Some received a handful of orders, while others secured more than 40 orders in a two day span.  In addition to the cash influx, I was pleased to hear that many in our community received wholesale orders from new stores they had never worked with and many had reorders from past accounts who were reconnecting. In this episode I’m walking you through pros and cons of these types of shows, why I’m not a fan of discounting your products to get sales and why you should continue your marketing post-show.   ON TODAY’S EPISODE: Benefits of the Faire Summer Market Concerns about the Faire Summer Market Why I don’t like discounting to get sales My reasoning behind why you shouldn’t be overly reliant on a single tool for your business.
