“Whenever you think you can or think you can’t, either way you are right.” (Henry Ford) ― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

A positive mindset will help you show up and have consistent daily action in your business, which is critical to the longevity of your organization. On this episode, we explore this quote from Henry Ford which is written in The Secret. 

When you believe in yourself, you find the resources to support your vision and embracing things from the viewpoint of a lifelong learner will serve you well.

In this episode, Cathy shares with listeners about her company, Simply Blossoming, that grew out of an organic idea that ended up impacting thousands of women but had some serious challenges from the beginning. 

In your own business consider an idea you are passionate about. Ask yourself, why not me? Why not now? To help you be brave, think of the impact or your idea and how you can improve the lives of people in this world.

“And you have hidden treasures hidden within you- extraordinary treasures – and so do I, and so does everyone around us. And bringing those treasures to light takes work and faith and focus and courage and hours of devotion, and the clock is ticking, and the world is spinning, and we simply do not have time anymore to think so small.” – Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic

In today’s episode we circle back to the concept of creativity. Elizabeth breaks down creativity in a magical way in this quote and refers to creative ideas as “hidden treasures”. 

Cathy shares different ways to bring out those creative ideas along with concrete ways to acknowledge the ideas that pop into our heads. 

She also shares an incredible idea that was proposed to her that helped her to uncover her own hidden talents during the pandemic.

The time is now, what is holding you back?

“Entrepreneurship isn’t a job. It’s a demanding, rewarding, scary, thrilling, and ultimately all-encompassing lifestyle” (pg 1) – Arlene Dickinson, from the book All In

Arlene really gets down to business in her book All In with leading off with this quote. 

In this episode, I break down this quote into the different components that make a successful entrepreneur. Consistency is the key, it pays off over the long run as there are very few overnight successes. Entrepreneurship is VERY rewarding, consider all the firsts you experience for the first time. It’s exciting. You need to push boundaries and take risks to get the most out of your journey. I also take a moment to share my personal experience when I discovered she is an entrepreneur at heart.

If you are embarking on an entrepreneurial journey, are you ready? Are you ready for all these aspects that Arlene describes in this quote?

To boost your business, you want to be all in.

“We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behavior. This is why, as we’ll discuss later, one of the fastest ways to restore trust is to make and keep commitments—even very small commitments—to ourselves and to others.”  – Stephen M.R. Covey, The Speed of Trust

On this episode, I talk about the book The Speed of Trust and why trust should be a focus for your business. 

Think about it – we do judge others by their behaviour yet we judge ourselves by our intentions. Is it fair? Maybe or maybe not. But it’s the reality that we have to work with. 

I also discuss an easy way to build trust immediately within your organization as a business owner. 

To boost your business, continue to focus on ways to show up in your business will go a long way!
