This week I'm excited to share my conversation with Kelly Roach, who will give us some great takeaways for lifestyle design, business strategy and the mindset and traits one needs to have to achieve success in creating a well designed life.  

In some cases, that might mean creating a freedom based lifestyle via a business or other revenue generating vehicle or "muse," whether it be part of your side hustle or full time gig. So for many of you, when it comes to creating a freedom based lifestyle, often there’s a huge learning curve for many new to the game or just learning the basics.

The challenges entrepreneurs face is time, money, and certain new skill sets and mindset shifts. It’s almost the same as learning a new to you sport. When you’re learning to play a sport for the first time, there’s a certain mechanics and hand eye coordination that goes on. 

About our next guest, first, she’s a fellow Pennsylvanian and fellow podcast host. Second, having been a former NFL cheerleader, she’s had to learn some disciplines which I find is totally applicable in business. I myself remember being a college student, for the varsity lacrosse team had to force myself to get up around 5 or 5:30am for 6:30am practice. While I hated getting up so early, the results of getting up to practice and put in all the hard work were that I did better in games. So how acquiring a new sport relates to entrepreneurship—especially those new or at the beginning of the journey—is you will learn new skills, test yourself, you will do things you don’t necessarily want to do and just get back up. It takes discipline, consistency and a certain amount of relentless focus.

Another thing I like about Kelly is the fact that she’s a mom and like every other parent is juggling many things, and so there’s a lot that we can learn in terms of creating success for yourself within the context of family life and how she created that “simply designed” or well designed life for her by making sure that her family came first and foremost and she was able to build her business around it, so a family based business. Part business coach, part family woman, great giver, and a whole lot of energy, let’s get into this conversation.

Quotes from Kelly 

I wanted to kind of be the orchestrator, or be the designer of my own life and lifestyle and I knew that I couldn’t expect someone else’s dream in a company to do that for me. I needed to go out and take ownership and accountability for that and create that for myself. (5:29)

Freedom is not so free. I think there are a lot of misconceptions about what it takes to actually build a freedom based business. Essentially there's a lot of sacrifice on the front end and there's a lot of heavy lifting in those first 3-5 years. (6:49)
