Building Unshakable

What Are You Attached To and What Do You Need To Let Go Of?

I have a different type of analogy for you today, but hear me out. 

As we were shopping for a leash for our new puppy (Oakley, who is the cutest thing ever), it made me think about how this leash will keep him attached to us so we can keep him safe. Which is a good thing when you’re a puppy. But not a business owner.

We teather ourselves to things, ideas, feelings, that keep us from growing.

We say we want freedom but we end up attaching ourselves to things that make us feel safe (and ultimately keep us from getting what we really want). 

Today I want you to ask yourself, “what do I need to let go of in order to scale my business?”. 

 In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How to detach from your leashes and take calculated risks
• The 5 things you might be attached to that are holding you back
• What will happen if you can’t let go

Are you willing to enjoy today at the cost of tomorrow?

In high school, I was a cross country runner and little did I know it then, but the lessons I learned have served me well in life and business.

I learned you can either be one of those people that sprints right out of the gate, or one who plays the long game by pacing yourself.

If you’re a sprinter trying to play the long game, you’ll eventually wear yourself out. Pacing allows you to stay focused on the big picture and make it to the end.

 In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The impact of short vs. long-term thinking in business
• Why long-term thinking is your best short-term strategy
• What to do if you've been trying to scale your business with a short-term mindset

Do you have 7 figure desirability?

The level of your desirability to hit 7 figures will affect the level of your business growth.

Let me say that again for those of you in the back.

If you don’t have an unwavering belief that you’ll hit 7 figures in your business, you probably won’t. Usually when you want something bad enough, you’ll do whatever it takes to get it. When it comes to money, we sometimes have a resistance level that keeps us from fully believing we’re capable or deserving.

If you don’t 100% believe you’ll hit the 7 figure mark in your business, this podcast is for you. Listen while I reveal the 3 things you need to have in place before you can hit those magical 7 figures.

It’s also imperative that you surround yourself with others that have a 7 figure vision.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• You might be someone who wants to hit 7 figures in their business, but just doesn’t know it yet
• How 7 figures looks different for everyone
• Why it’s important to lean into any resistance you feel towards hitting a 7 figure goal
• The 3 things you need in order to build 7 figure desirability

Time is not money.

You've heard it a thousand times before. The more time you put in (the more work you do) the more money you earn. But is that true?

In today’s episode, I’m challenging you to think about your relationship with time and money differently.

I share my journey >> from punching the clock on my first job, working with my Grandma in a hosiery mill >> to creating a business where revenue isn’t tied directly to how many hours I work at all.

You’ll learn how you can stop trading time for money and begin scaling your business by trading value for money instead.

I've gone through this process in my own business and even moved myself and my team to a 4 day workweek. We’re more focused, without sacrificing revenue. In fact, revenue is climbing. If you want to do this, I have a 4-Day Workweek workbook that will guide you through my process step by step. Download the 4-Day Workweek workbook HERE. 

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How to shift your mindset to think about trading value for money, not time
• How to 10x the value of your time
• How to figure out what's worth spending your time on
• How to free up your time so you can focus on vision, strategy (revenue drivers)

Intentionally Unproductive

When was the last time you were intentional about being unproductive? When you intentionally built time into your schedule to take care of yourself? And not just taking that time, but actually using it to step away from work and truly rest?

So many entrepreneurs struggle with using time off effectively. We struggle to understand what true rest is and why it’s so important.

Now that I have a firm grasp of what it means to be intentionally unproductive, and why it’s so important, I’ve even created a 4-day workweek for me and my team. Imagine what that could do for you and your business if you had an extra day off every week to rest, recover and truly take care of yourself.

If you want to learn how to incorporate a 4-Day workweek into your business so that you can be more intentionally unproductive, download my free 4-Day Workweek guide HERE.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The importance of effective time off
• What NOT to do on your day off
• Why you may still be tired after taking time off
• How to intentionally plan time off

Trading Overtime for a 4-Day Workweek

Did you know that working more never actually frees up your time? How often have you felt that all you need to do is just work a little more?

I recently had a wake up call in my business. One that had me reaching for old patterns of overworking and sticking a band-aid on a problem instead of actually fixing it.

Luckily, I have the best team ever and they spoke up and reminded me that isn’t how we do things around here. They advised me that it was time to hire instead and I listened.

Our entire company culture is centered around having more time and freedom without losing clients or revenue. If you would like to work a 4-day workweek, download my free guide HERE.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The 4 patterns of overworking
• How to recognize these patterns
• The importance of staying true to your mission and values
• What it really means when you say you don’t have time
• How to finally be free and stop trying to work more

How to Develop a CEO Mindset

What’s a CEO Mindset and why does it change everything in business?  

Let me ask you this..

Do you ever find yourself second guessing your choices, doubting your next move, or even changing your strategy halfway through testing it out? Let me share a little secret with you…

“Believe you can and you're halfway there” - Theodore Roosevelt 

How? Whatever you think creates a feeling, that feeling drives your actions and those actions drive your results. In other words, your thoughts create your results. When you are intentional about your thoughts and beliefs, you can create your desired results.  Believing is the first step to achieving anything you want to achieve. 

But can you take action without belief? In today’s episode I will cover why your beliefs are so important and how to build your belief as a CEO. 

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How the results of the actions you take are dependent on your mindset
• The 4 areas every CEO must intentionally build belief in order to get 7 figure results 
• A simple daily exercise to uncover and close the gaps in your CEO Belief

How to Lead a Team Without the Hiring/Firing Boom and Bust

Knowing how to lead a team (especially when your goal is to scale to 7 figures) is so much more than just hiring people and assigning them their roles. 

Whether your team is just a few people or steadily increasing, you’re going to run into situations where you wonder if this person is the right fit…or if it’s time to fire and move on. 

BUT… most of my 6 and multi-6 figure clients often think they need to fire too soon. 

You don’t want to carry the weight of an under-performing team member when you (and the other members) have full to-do lists. 

However, our team members are usually a direct reflection of our leadership. If your member is not showing up in the way you need them to, this might not actually be their fault. 

If you’re experiencing conflicts with your team members (whether that be lack of productivity, lack of results, or any other persistent issues), you first need to look at your own leadership. 

Signs You Might Not Be Leading Your Team Successfully

Maybe you haven’t communicated what you need effectively. 

Maybe you haven’t trained them as clearly as you thought. 

Maybe they do not have the right resources or equipment to do their job the right way. 

In today’s episode, I’m giving you the Pre-Correction Checklist you need to make sure you’re not the cause of a team member’s lack of performance in your company! 

Remember, if you fire a team member because of a gap in your own leadership skills, you’re only going to find the same problems repeated again and again in new members until you fix that trait in your own leadership. 

If you’re having problems with a team member’s under performance or lack of results, be sure to listen to this episode to make sure you’re addressing the root of the problem - and not slapping a Band-Aid on the surface of a deeper issue!

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

Is it you or is it them? 

You’ll learn how to lead a team effectively so that you’re giving each team member everything they need to succeed in your company - that means recognizing where your leadership gaps are hurting their performance. 

• You’ll learn how to tell if your team member is underperforming or if you’re not giving them the support and clarity they need, 
• You’ll get my Pre-Correction Checklist to make sure you’ve done everything on your part to support the team member before coming in with discipline or correction, 
• And you’ll break that hiring/firing cycle by getting to the root of the problem, so the same issues don’t keep popping up from new hire to hire.

Are You Ready to Scale Your Business?

The big question, “Are you ready to scale?” is a dual-sided one. ‘Wanting’ to scale is not the same thing as being ready to scale. And if you are ready to scale, you’ll be able to answer ‘yes’ to both of the following questions. 

2 Questions to Ask Yourself to Find Out if You Are Ready to Scale

1. “Is my business ready to scale?”

By this, I mean, do you have the structures and systems in place that set you up with a scalable business model? 

Is your offer scalable? 

Are you able to create results for your clients without requiring more time from you? 

If you want to scale your business, you have to have a scalable structure. 

2. “Is my mindset ready to scale?” 

I’ve worked with many entrepreneurs who only needed a few small tweaks to get their business structure ready to scale. But when it came to mindset, they had several, deep-rooted thought errors that were holding them back from taking the necessary action that would actually scale their business. 

Do you believe that in order to earn more, you have to do more?

Does your goal feel impossible?

Do you second-guess your decisions?

Do you struggle with overwhelm, doubt, or uncertainty? 

If either your business model OR your mindset are not in the right position to scale, your business will not scale effectively (without burnout!). 

In This Episode: 

In today’s episode, I’m letting you in on both sides of scaling your business: What you need to do to set up scalable structures, and what you need to do to shift your mindset to that of a 7 Figure CEO! 

• You’ll get a solid answer to the question, “Are you ready to scale your business” by looking at BOTH critical sides that are needed for scaling to 7 figures. 
• You’ll find out whether you need to focus on your business structure or CEO mindset (or both) to scale your business. 
• You’ll get tangible next steps to follow up on that newly-discovered “next right step.”

The Next Step to Scale Your Business

The next step to scale your business is often one of the most difficult to figure out. I can’t even tell you you HOW many entrepreneurs have told me, “I just need to find the next right step!” 

There are so many strategies out there for scaling a business. 

There are methods on methods, perspectives on perspectives. 

And since your business is unlike any other business out there, it’s hard to know which one will work for YOU. It’s hard to know which one will scale your revenue, suit your desired work schedule, and keep your business fulfilling and joyful at the same time. 

And after 15 years of scaling business, I can tell you there’s no ONE strategy that can help you do that. My recommendation for the “next right step” is going to be different for you than for someone else. 

BUT, there are a few foundational truths which are 100% applicable to every business. No matter how unique and one-of-a-kind your business may be, you will need these 3 foundational lessons to figure out how to scale your business. 

Tune into my latest episode to find out what those 3 lessons are - and how to get them ingrained in your business as soon as possible. 

In This Episode You’ll Learn: 

• Why so many “proven” strategies haven’t worked for your business (Hint: There’s nothing actually wrong with those strategies),
• Why that “next step” to scale your business is so elusive to every entrepreneur under the sun, 
• And the 3 foundational lessons that EVERY business MUST know in order to figure out their next right step.
