The single most common response I hear from women when embarking on a new fitness or body shape change goal is "I don't have the time" followed by "I need the gym/a class/trainer/instructor" to follow to reach my goals. So I've invited my very good friend, Jenna Carelli, a business consultant in the Wellness Industry, fitness and nutrition expert to share her expertise on implementing systems - what is in essence your daily habits or routine and rituals - to help and set you up for success so that it is not about motivation or time, but about your choices in our day. Jenna, a busy business owner with 2 young kids knows how to make it work. When Jenna shared her workout routine with her young baby of only 3 months here on Instagram, I knew she had a lot to teach us! In this episode, we bust the myths about belief, personal responsibility, motivation, not enough time and what happens when you are always relying on others to reach your goals. Plus provide you with some actual take aways and practical steps you can put into action now to ensure this year is the year you reach your goals.

With 10 years and counting of making music together, let's get to know more about the humble beginnings, struggles, and successes of the wild sibling group – The Ivey's! I am joined by 4 out of 5 members of the band, unfortunately, Hugo (lead guitarist and banjo player) can't make it today. But I am delighted to be graced by the presence of Jessica, Jenna, Galen, and Arlen here on the show. With seven kids in the family and five of them in the group, their other sibling Julia, used to be part of the band as well, and their oldest brother Shannon is into farming, it is very evident that the family loves music so much. Their interest in music started with their dad who they always hear singing while they are growing up. Their dad also exposed them to trying different vocal harmony lines; eventually, they individually learned to play musical instruments - Jessica with piano, Arlen on guitar, Galen took drum lessons, and so from there, everything evolved into the music that they have today. To keep the creative flow going, the siblings put a lot of time and effort into discussing, planning everything out meticulously, and establishing the goals ahead of time, even scheduling the days when they have to go to the studio for recording. Luckily, they've got a studio a couple of miles away from where they live, and they consider this their second home. It is called Sonic Ranch Studios located in Tornillo, Texas. Over the years, they have gotten to know a lot of different musicians and artists who they've got the opportunities to do a collaboration with. One of them is Jerry Ordonez, a fantastic music engineer who co-produced their last two projects, Leslie Johnson played the bass for some of the recordings, Michael Ways recorded cello with them and many other musicians. Democracy of siblings in a bandAs with all relationships, disagreements cannot be avoided, especially with The Ivey's because not only are their siblings but bandmates as well. Their mindset is really to try to be always focused on their goals and continue moving forward, always trying to remember that it's not one person against the other. It's more about having different ideas and coming together for the best possible option. They will always be a family and have each other. Get to know more about the members of The Ivey's: GalenGalen is the drummer of the band; he graduated just last December with a film major. “Running Wild” is one of the first music videos he directed with his siblings. He is now in charge of the music video direction and post-production. Jenna Jenna is 23 years old, graduated just last semester with a degree in theatre arts. She was helping the band to write songs even before she joined. She usually collaborates with Arlen when conceptualizing and writing songs, and works with Galen when filming their music videos. JessicaArlen tagged Jessica along when he needed a pianist and a singer. At first, they were just doing cover songs together, then Arlen started bringing in original music, and the rest is history. When Jenna and Galen joined the band, and the group recorded “Colors of Honey”, layers upon layers, getting down the piano, guitar, vocals, and hearing it all together, was when Jessica had this epiphany that these have brought The Ivey's sound to where it needed to be and completed it. ArlenHe is the second among the seven Ivey siblings. He is the guitarist, “road manager”, and one of the songwriters of the band. Jenna and Arlen have written songs together; they sometimes write songs out of dreams, sometimes they work together and lead each other to a path, and it fits well. Something magical can happen with songwriters that are connected to each other and constantly working together. Arlen is not only the “spokesperson” of the group but he is also in charge of the bookings and schedules of their shows and tours. Thoughts about their parentsTheir dad is a firm believer in the power of art. Their parents have been so encouraging now, and as they were growing up. They are so proud of what The Ivey's have accomplished, and they are no doubt their biggest fans.

So that also makes it easier because this is a passion project. And we're all working together for the good of it and trying to convey something and capture a bit of magic with that, so with that focus, it helps because you always get back to that and disagreements have to be resolved, because you want to continue moving forward, and you love each other. You want it to be a positive environment.” “It's important to be educated about music in general. But the sky's the limit with creativity and how you can apply your own creative juices to the subject constantly and keep learning new ways to do it all the time.” Connect with The Iveys Website - www.theiveysmusic.com Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDQv2iL6DYLU06B-gNr9Ypg Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/artist/4DfWZliaM2iPkHWyyeNz0j Selected links and mentions Beatles Simon & Garfunkel Bob Dylan Johnny Cash The Avett Brothers The Eagles The Lumineers First Aid Kit  Jerry Ordonez AC/DC Metallica Leslie Johnson Michael Way - a symphony orchestra

How is our identity directly linked to our purpose? In this episode of SPARK the Podcast Jenna Shotmeyer shares how a traumatic brain injury at the age of 18 forced her to reexamine God’s purpose for her life. When Jenna lost pieces of her memory and her health, her plan for her life changed. Even when our purpose changes, our identity remains the same. Jenna explains that being a child of God is enough, and gives encouragement and hope for those searching for their identity and place in this world. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. -John 1:12

Pssst… We planned a surprise for Jenna and you get to hear it play out on this episode of the Goal Digger Podcast! Hey friends, it’s Kylie, the manager and producer of the show. When Jenna told me she wanted to do a new Ask Jenna Anything episode this month and we realized it would land on her birthday, I couldn’t waste the opportunity to surprise her.  You’ll hear from some familiar names and voices of Team JK in this episode… But you’ll also hear a few surprises, too. Jenna had no idea what she was sitting down to record. I’ve gave her strict instructions -- No listening to the questions before hitting record (so no preparation!), she must listen and answer in order, and she must keep the track rolling the whole time so we could hear her reactions. I am so excited for you to hear this candid, off-the-cuff version of Jenna as she answers questions about her personal life, business, what makes her laugh and more.

What is it about motherhood that invites judgement from others? When Jenna decided to leave her teaching job to be a stay at home mom (a decision that was as surprising to her as it was to her friends and family), she was astonished by the comments that came from close friends and strangers alike who didn't understand why she would want to stay home. She also shares how judgement comes in at other times - whether it's the kind of activities her children choose to pursue or how she chooses to spend her days at home with her kids. In the second half, Jenna shares how, at 34 weeks pregnant with her second child, she decided to have a home birth. She opens up about how the decision unfolded over those following weeks in preparation for her baby's arrival. From telling her husband she wanted to stay home (He said, "HUH?" to sharing with select family and how her son entered the world on a cold morning in 2016.

Jenna Irvin became a business owner straight after college. In her senior year of college, she made the decision to use all the money she had to open a Pure Barre franchise after falling in love with the technique. By the age of 23 she had opened, sold and bought a business. Opening a business is never easy, no matter your age or experience. Jenna talks about the franchise process, deciding to sell and leading with your heart. How do you start a franchise? In her senior year of college, Jenna decided she wanted to open a franchise through Pure Barre. She sent in an application for the market she was interested in. The first step was to prove that there was viability for a studio by looking at the area, the demographics and the real estate available. Interviews then progressed to ensure Jenna had the funding and then the third round looked at Jenna’s ability to run a business. The following day after a 4 hour in-person interview, Jenna found out that she was approved to be an owner. She signed the agreement and paid the franchise fee. How much is it? For Jenna, it was $46K How did you have the money? You hadn’t even graduated from college yet. Jenna had invested money in stocks. The franchise fee was almost exactly what she had in her investment account. She decided she wanted to take a leap and invest in herself. Even though she was young, it felt like the right time because she was only responsible for herself. How did you know you wanted to take that risk? To dive right in and have your own business right away? She has the kind of personality where she dives right into things. She gives everything her all - her friends, her relationships, her career. Jenna believes that when our strengths are turned up, they become weaknesses, so she has learned to temper it. She spent her childhood watching her parents run their own business together, and this also influenced her. What business do they own? Her parents own a cabinet and mill-working company. She grew up listening to her Dad have business conversations. She saw him bring a positive impact to someone’s live through cabinets. In college, she discovered Barre, a ballet based strength workout. She fell in love with it. Jenna couldn’t touch her toes when she started and had also struggled with an eating disorder. She had a lot of insecurities with her body, and Barre turned that around for her. It was the first time that she wasn’t in competition with others or even herself.  I want to ask you again about your Dad and how he held people's hearts. He has a way of holding people's hearts while he holds them in the professional space. Jenna believes that we have to connect first as people and then connect professionally. When anybody walks through her studio doors, she wants to know who they are.  I want to ask you about the first Pure Barre class you attended Jenna was horrible at it. She has been 6’1 since 6th grade and for a long time was so much taller than everyone else. In sports, her height was an asset but it also meant she didn’t have to learn how to be agile and quick on her feet as she could use her height. Her coordination and flexibility were always things she struggled with. Although She wasn’t good at her first Barre class, there was something about it that made her want to figure it out. The more she did it, the more she felt the connection to her body and how to learn to be graceful in her own way. Sometimes we say - ‘oh I’m not flexible. I’m not agile’. But we can learn to love the thing that we didn’t think was for us. Is that your experience? A lot of the stories that we tell ourselves don’t have to be our story. She told herself that she was the tall girl and wouldn’t be flexible or be able to do things that smaller people could do. Telling that story was easier than doing the work it would take to get there.  How old were you when you took your first class? Jenna was in her 2nd year at college. Was there a moment when you decided you wanted to be a Pure Barre studio owner? Jenna was at home for the summer before her senior year. She wasn’t someone who like to work out at home and there wasn’t a Barre studio in her home town. But if she stuck with the workout, her Dad said he would look into owning one. She did Barre in her attic over the 3 months she was at home. Then Jenna talked to many studio owners as she could in order to understand what she was getting herself into. Did you have any conversations where you were like ‘maybe I shouldn’t do this’? Jenna was conscious that she was young and investing every penny she had into the business. She was constantly questioning her decision. She knew she needed to separate herself from the good and the bad experiences other people were having. She was gathering data but didn’t want to let it influence how she felt about the decision.  How do you work on your mindset? Jenna has learned to hear herself first but it has taken a long time to get there. She has realized that she is not her business. Her mindset is terrible when she is evaluating herself based on how her business is doing. She did this exercise, where she had to have coffee with her business. To have a conversation with her business meant it was separated from her. She found the exercise eye-opening. What was something that came out of that conversation with your business? She realized that she puts a lot of pressure on herself. Sometimes a goal is unrealistic, and sometimes it is just not right for that time. If she sets a goal and something happens, it’s not a failure, it’s an opportunity to adjust and an opportunity to grow. You built this business without any connections. How did you start? When you opened the doors? When Jenna opened the studio in Frederick, Maryland and she didn’t know a soul. She was terrified because she had always lived in places where she was very connected. From the beginning, in her marketing, she told her story. She talked about what the technique had done for her and what she hoped to create in Frederick. She was there from open to close, and although it wasn’t part of the plan, she ended up teaching 37 out of 42 classes every week for the first 3 months. But this meant that her clients knew her and she knew them.  Did you go to local business and introduce yourself? She did. She researched local businesses that had been open the longest and did her first pop-up at one of them. This connected her with someone who turned out to be important in helping her form other connections. You don’t need to connect with everybody, just the right people. What do you think is a mistake you made with hiring? Jenna googled ‘How to hire’, found a guide and followed it. She didn’t listen to her intuition at all. She hired based on people's background and experience and not on whether they showed traits that were in alignment with her. Form her first batch of hires, she only had 1 person pass the certification. What happened when you followed your intuition? She had a client who had been taking classes from the day the studio opened. She was always just there to work. One day after a class she talked to Jenna and showed an interest in being a teacher because she wanted to show her girls that when you work hard, you can do anything. She hired her on the spot. This hire reminded Jena that she knew what she needed and the factors that were important for the hire. I want to ask you about selling the business. You sold the business in Frederick, although you still have the one in Hilton Head Island. Tell us a little about how you sold the business in Frederick. Selling the business was not part of Jenna’s plan. She moved to Frederick thinking she was going to live there forever. She had lived in Hilton Head Island to gain more teaching experience while her studio was being built and fell in love with the place. Her studio in Maryland did in the first month what she had predicted in the first year in terms of membership numbers. The studio in Hilton Head Island came up for sale 3 months after Jenna had opened her Frederick studio. Her accountant told her that she would be able to sell her studio for twice what she put into it. Jenna had to make a decision about what would be most fulfilling for her. The sales process took about 5 months.  What are your failures? I know you’ve had some heartbreak? When she took over her new studio, she thought that purchasing an existing studio would be more easier than starting one from scratch. It was actually harder because she had to try rewrite that existing business. It was a challenging process.  Jenna was terrible at balance and couldn’t keep balance with her friendships. Her relationship ended when her business opened. She threw herself into the business in the first 3 months to the extent of everything else. With her new business she is trying to keep a better balance with her life. Don’t let moments pass you by because you fell that your business needs all of you all of the time. You played Basketball. How long did you play that for? Jenna played basketball from 3 years old to when she graduated from high school. How do feel sports has impacted you? Sport has given Jenna the work ethic and discipline that she has. Sport required responsibility discipline and dedication so when her business requires those things, she doesn’t bat an eye. Sports taught her to be a team player and take ownership of the things she could’ve done better.  Do you still attend Barre classes? Do you do anything else for fitness? Jenna does Barre 4 times a week and has gotten into lifting weights and running. But Barre is where she grounds herself mentally and physically.  How do you fell Pure Barre has helped you mentally? Pure Barre has transformed her mentally. It has transformed her insecurity. She had to overcome an eating disorder and a place where the scale had power. She was concerned about calories and did exercise to burn off what she had eaten instead of moving her body because it felt good. Jenna pushed her body on days it needed to rest. It was all out of tune with her own needs, and it is impossible to be out of tune in a Pure Barre class. In a Pure Barre class, you have to be connected to your muscles so your mind doesn’t have time to go anywhere else. It has been the biggest part of her healing from the eating disorder.  In Jenna’s studio she tries to keep the energy about being welcoming and accepting. It is not about changing anything about yourself. It is about celebrating that your chose to be there and you are choosing to get stronger. It is a celebration about all that you are and all that you will become.  Can you give a quick example of a movement you would do? There is a movement called chair. You pull off the bar with straight arms. Your seat is at the level of your knees. The back is flat and the chest is proud. And you hold that. The work is isometric, you want to focus on the contraction. The movement is secondary and a mental distraction. The isometric work is where the magic happens. What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? This comes from her Dad. Before every basketball game she would take her hand to her heart, tap her heart and point at him. It was a reminder to lead from her heart. He also tells his kids to never look back. Which is her reminder that she can dream as big and as passionately as she wants to.

Jenna used to work as an auditor, but the position involved being surrounded by negative people as well as physical demands that didn’t work with her family’s schedule. After getting denied when she tried to adjust her work schedule, Jenna realized that she should probably venture out on her own. She found the Bookkeeper Business Launch program and once someone she trusted vouched for the content, she signed up. [5:00] Jenna currently has 10 clients and is not looking to build an empire. She’s pretty happy right now just working with her clients and doing the work, but that may change as her children get older. [6:40] When Jenna was starting her bookkeeping business, she was looking for someone to handle the tax work, and the person that she previously worked with told her that the bookkeeper for the firm that he worked for had given their notice and they needed to find a new bookkeeper for their clients. Many of the clients that Jenna now has have come through this referral relationship. [8:20] She also has had some clients come through Facebook. It’s important to not have to rely on a single channel to attract clients into your business. [9:40] Jenna’s biggest challenge was mindset and the belief that she could do this on her own. She realized that everyone is afraid, but they just do it. That’s the first step in overcoming your fear. A lot of things that we’re taught as children to protect us end up as limiting beliefs that you need to break down or reassess as an adult. [11:35] Jenna wishes that she realized how much time it would take to get started. A lot of people start a business thinking that it will give them more time, but that’s not true right away. The reverse is the case, you’ll spend more time working in the beginning than you would if you just had a job. [13:30] Setting limits with clients is one of Jenna’s biggest challenges. She doesn’t want to nickel and dime her clients, but she also doesn’t want to work for free. This is known in the industry as scope creep and is a real problem when you bill a flat fee. [15:20] Jenna doesn’t have to take on clients to cover her expenses so that puts her in a better position and can really slow down the process of vetting a new client. She can be very methodical in determining what the client wants and what kind of outcomes they are looking for, as well as set expectations for the relationship. [18:30] One of the great things about becoming a trusted advisor for your clients is that they will come to you when they need something. When they reach out to you, they are probably coming from a positive place, but you still have to be methodical about establishing the scope of the work. [19:50] The most recent scope creep came in today from a client that wanted Jenna to call a vendor and learn more about a bill. There are a couple of ways to handle this kind of stuff. The first thing is to immediately set the expectation that the task is outside the scope of the work. Send them an invoice for your time and then zero out the amount as a courtesy discount to orient them. [23:40] Next time a client asks you to do something that happens frequently, you are either going to have to start charging for that or reevaluate the scope of the work you are doing for that client. [25:35] Be very clear about things that fall outside your engagement and be willing to have that awkward conversation and be honest. Most clients are not intentional about this.They just rely on you as a trusted advisor. [28:20] Keeping the client informed is very important. Let the client know at the start before it becomes the norm. If you keep them involved, getting paid for additional services won’t be a big deal. [30:40] A lot of misunderstandings come from not really knowing what the client wanted. This is why the vetting process is so important, so that you can understand your duties and they understand theirs, as well as expectations in general. [31:45] Scope creep can actually inform services that you can offer to your clients. When it happens often, they are explicitly telling you they need that service and you can create packages around that to offer to other clients.   Mentioned in this episode: ACE Accountable Bookkeeping

When Jenna found out about Ava bracelet she was thrilled to become pregnant again after a year of use! The bracelet helped her and her husband understand her cycle and body better. It taught her what her most optimum days were and, took a lot of the stress out of trying to conceive. She loved that it was very easy to use and see the data daily. Her pregnancy was anything but easy but this she expected. She ended up having to be hospitalized the last month of her pregnancy due to severe preeclampsia. On the day of her baby shower, Jenna was rushed into an emergency cesarean section at 30 weeks and gave birth to her tiny 3.5 pound rainbow baby boy Wesley Arlo. Jenna and Patrick feel completely blessed to have him and can't wait until he can come home from the NICU. Jenna wanted to share her story to give hope to those who have gone thru similar circumstances

How many ideas for your business have you let pass you by, without taking any action? If I had to guess, you probably allow 90% of your ideas to slip right on by, and that needs to stop. The time to take action is NOW, not when you feel “ready.” This week’s guest on Success Unfiltered, Jenna Phillips Ballard, firmly believes the in the saying, “Don’t Wait. Start now,” and has used it to fuel the momentum in her business. When Jenna was 17 years old, she experienced a head trauma accident which left her in a coma, and with brain damage. When she awoke, her doctor didn’t believe that she’d ever be able to finish high school. Jenna never allowed these negative thoughts cloud her determination to succeed. Jenna dedicated herself to graduate on time. It is all about the mindset and how you look at each event that occurs in your life. It’s time to stop thinking that you’ll have more money, more time or an original idea. Instead, take action NOW on what you do have and have control of! If you’ve ever put a dream business idea on hold because you don’t think you’re ready, then this episode of Success Unfiltered is a MUST LISTEN!

There is NO bookmarked NO that Jenna received that got her to where she is, and she believes that is because she just shifts and flows with whatever happens. It was when Jenna decided to let fitness go, and to stop commuting to LA regularly, that she was fully able to dedicate herself to getting her online program off the ground. “What's really powerful as entrepreneurs is the opportunity for us to kick our own butts, otherwise it's not going to get done.” ~ Jenna Phillips Ballard Jenna shares that so many entrepreneurs don’t make it because they give up right before they’re about to succeed. But creating your success all comes down to mindset, according to Jenna. This strong driven mindset comes from when Jenna had a traumatic accident, where she was left with brain damage, but she did not let that stop her. Jenna shares a few tips on how to truly commit to yourself, so that you can come out with success on the other side of your struggle. One of the most devastating NO’s that Jenna ever received was when someone she trusted did something that was completely unexpected and broke her trust. She shares more in this episode. This situation is what led Jenna to dedicate herself full-steam ahead to creating Unicorn University. A big part of Jenna’s messaging is that everything happens for us, not to us. She used this philosophy to overcome the anger she was feeling from being betrayed. But, by using her platforms on Facebook and Instagram, she was able to realize that she gets to be empowered and inspired, rather than be a victim. The biggest catalyst in Jenna’s life, she says, is when she was recovering from her head trauma accident. She doesn’t remember everything from this time, but one particular doctor’s appointment stands out - she shares the full story in this episode! When people don’t believe in Jenna, or tell her that she shouldn’t do something, it drives her to do exactly the opposite. She attributes much of her success to this mindset! Jenna shares her practice of creating 10 laws that define your purpose and then using those to drive your life’s work. Jenna shares a story about a couple that she and her husband were friends with. They ended up being scam artists and stole money from other people. This led Jenna to notice all the red flags she had missed. She shares these red flags in this episode. Jenna shares what she would tell her younger self. Connect with Jenna Phillips Ballard: Jenna’s Website Facebook Instagram P.S. You Don’t Have to Risk it All. But You DO Have To Take A Risk.
