THOUGHTS FROM JENNIFER:

Transitioning out of corporate

• Transition in such a way you aren’t unbelievably stressed.
• You are not your business. We are too interconnected with our identity and the business’s identity and it can hinder our profitability.
• If we are focused on huge profits, we aren’t focused enough on our clients. The profits come from engaging with our clients.

Mindset

• What are mindsets that hold us back from being profitable?
• What excuses are we holding on to that keep us unprofitable?
• Profits come from serving well.

Fear

• Fear can come from being successful.
• Fear happens when you begin to push outside of your comfort zone.
• The feeling of fear and excitement are the same. It doesn’t have to be fear if you don’t want it to be. Choose excitement instead!

Planning

• It is important to balance physical time, energy and self-care.
• Step out of busy, busy, busy and be more strategic. This allows us to get more done in the day.
• Create times of silence.
