"Sometimes what we're labeling as 'lazy' is actually misalignment."

In today's episode, we talk about:

- Time management and productivity

- Your energy

- Being in alignment

"It takes courage to stop and stand in the not doing..."

Our greatest resource is our energy, and how we use it matters.

In this episode of Coach Business, we're talking to expert quiz strategist and community builder Linda Sidhu about staying connected and the power of community in online business.

While discussing community and groups is our main focus, this episode is actually a four-part masterclass since we also get into:

- Market research and finding the offers that are wanted

- Self-trust as a business owner

- The power of decision

Listen for what we can learn from Starbucks and Spotify, what makes or breaks a community group or membership, and how to balance people being more overwhelmed than ever, while still desperately wanting/needing community.

If you're an online business owner or a coach who has a membership or has ever considered one, this is especially for you!

Here are 5 things that will help you trust yourself and your business more.

These are practical, actionable, no-fluff strategies.

There are so many folks in the online business space who are one-note and can teach you what they did because that's what they know; the problem is that approach misses so many people!

These 5 things will make a major difference, regardless of what anyone else has taught you or which path you're on.

This is our 200th episode! Fun, right?!

Today, we're talking about how to make plans for a future that means something.

The biggest job you have as a business owner or entrepreneur, and likely a human, is to "periscope up" often enough to remember we are playing the long game.

You have to give yourself enough time and space to make great plans.

Don't miss your life, potential business success, or your legacy because everything is so urgent and in-your-face right now.

Give yourself the gift of thinking ahead.

This episode is a special treat. We have someone I've admired (from afar) for years, and a different kind of conversation than the ones we typically have around here.

Joining us on the podcast today is New York Times bestselling cookbook author, Julia Turshen!

We dive into so many interesting topics, including:

• What it means to make a living AND a life
• Surfing the waves as a freelancer
• Cookbooks as an under-appreciated form of culture
• Revenue generation amidst market shifts
• What powerlifting does for her (and finding your equivalent)

There's so much wisdom to be gained from this episode, both as a human and a business owner. *There's also a delicious sounding lunch recipe tucked away in the middle.

I hope you enjoy it, and that you'll share it far and wide!

Thank you.
