JLO has gone all in on her latest movie, Marry Me. She's been talking about the movie in some shape or form for the past 6+ months. We're over a month into post-premiere and she's still hyping it. 

I love it. 

And there's so much for us to take away from that energy and belief in her product and in herself, so we're taking a few plays from JLO's book today as well as learning about your own specific sales style based on your Enneagram type. 

This can be a difficult part of building and growing a business. You're putting yourself out there, asking for people to believe in you and invest in you, opening yourself yourself up for judgement, criticism, and rejection. 

None of that is easy, yet you have specific superpowers that came make building a healthy sales branch of your business easier. 

That is exactly what you'll learn more about in today's episode:

• lessons from JLO's Marry Me promotional strategy
• the 9 sales styles - strengths and possible roadblocks for each
• how to use two other specific types to build your healthy and thriving sales strategy  
• a sales call-to-action at the end to help you get started 

This is Part One of a 2-part sales series. Came back next week for Part 2 to learn about the first thing your sales strategy needs before you start leveraging your strengths!

Inside this episode we are are getting into some "current events" - The Kardashians! 

Specifically what Kim shared as her best advice for women in business. While I didn't love it and thought it was interesting advice coming from her, I did love reading all the conversation it spurred on both side of the hustle aisle. 

Because this is the Enneagram MBA you'll hear about hustling through the lens of the Enneagram and the different ways we can hustle. Tune it to hear about: 

• the different types of hustle that I learned from my Human Design friend Lauren Armstrong (@laurenearmstrong_ on Instagram). 
• What hustle tends to look like based on each type and ultimately what they're running towards and away from
• A cautionary note about anti-hustle and the one thing to focus on based on your type

When a challenge comes up at work or home do you tend to:

A) reflect back on how things went the last time something like this came up, looking to the past to help you determine how to handle this situation ?

B) focus in on the problem right in front of you to determine what needs to be done right now, sometimes forgetting that you've overcome challenges like this in the past and that it will eventually sort itself out in the future?

C) look to quickly move through the challenge, even if it's not fully resolved, so that you can get to a goal or ideal situation in the future?

Depending how you process and react to these challenges most of the time (not every time), will give you clues into which orientation to time you're using in your relationships, your work, and even in your marketing strategies. 

Listen it today Episode 43 to learn more about what Orientation to Time is, how to find out which one you are, and how it can help you grow and better understand your teams and your buyers.

I never thought I'd see the words Grief Coach and Type 7 in a sentence together, so when Olivia Myles reached out and told me which type she most identifies with and what she did in her business, I had to hear more about her and her work.  

On the Enneagram, Type Sevens are also called The Enthusiast, The Adventurer, and The Optimist. 

They are known for their glass-is-half-full and rose-colored glasses outlook on life. They bring joy, fun, and energy to any room they walk into. 

The reason behind a lot this is because deep down, Sevens are running from uncomfortable feelings. You'll find them busy in their business or out for an adventure because sitting still with their own thoughts and what might come up is too much to handle. 

Their core defense mechanism is reframing so that even when painful or uncomfortable situations do occur, they retell themselves (and others) the story, but with a positive spin on it (#toxicpositivity)...

"Well, at least you didn't run over two dogs!" 
"What are you complaining about? You could be in [fill in the blank with third world country] right now!" 
"Don't be sad, there's so much else to look forward to!" 
"They could have stolen double that!"

Like any type on the Enneagram, the more self-awareness and intentional personal growth a person pursues, the less like the stereotype they'll look and that's exactly what my guest today has done. 

In this episode with Grief Recovery Coach, Olivia Myles, you'll hear:

• her journey of loss and grief of a child 
• after years of living the same day over, how she learned to keep his memory alive without the pain
• why the saying, "Time heals all wounds" is untrue and what you actually need to heal
• the many other types of grief outside of loss of a loved one that most people are have experienced at some point in their lives
• the unhealthy expectations our culture has created around grieving and what we should really be doing instead
• how she uses her gifts of a Type 7 in her grief recovery work with clients

For anyone needing to process grief of any kind - a loss, a move, a career change, a relationship change, etc. Olivia hosts grief recovery groups and works with clients 1:1 to process in a healthy, healing way.

Learn more about her work and reach out with any questions about grief and how she can help you process and heal.

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.” – Steve Jobs


When you look back from where you are now to where you've been, do you see how your own dots  are connected?

For my guest today on the Enneagram MBA podcast, this couldn't be more true.

Now a Licensed Therapist, Demetria January started her career in quality auditing for a large corporation when she started to feel stuck, miserable and controlled.

She wasn't sure what she wanted to be doing, but that wasn't it.

It took a flyer in the mail and a story her mom reminded her of back from high school for it to click about how good she was at having difficult conversations with boldness and directness, but also with empathy and understanding.


As someone who identifies with Type 8 energy, this comes very natural for her and a gift she wasn't able to use in a career that by normal standards was a "good job."  So, despite also valuing stability and certainty, she made a bold decision to bet on herself.

She quit her job to go back to school and become a mental health professional where she would better use her natural strengths and gift herself more control of her own time and work (something core to a Type 8), by becoming a therapist, specializing in anxiety and trauma based disorders.

If you've ever felt the pull that you were made for more than where you're at now, be sure and listen in to this one and be inspired by Demetria's story and the advice she offers to others thinking of making a big change.

Do you find yourself giving great advice and being generous, supportive, and understanding with others?

"You did a great job with that! How are you going to celebrate?"
"We all have those days. Nothing is wrong with you."
"Everyone needs a break. I'm in support of you getting rested."

But then when a situation presents itself to apply that same advice to yourself, you don't take it - resting, celebrating, forgiving.  None of that applies to you because you don't deserve it or your situation is so different, right?

Our guest today explains why we do this to ourselves and how to think about it a different way, so that we can gift ourselves that same love and care that we so freely give to others.

Dr. Rebekah Tennyson is a Clinical Psychologist with a degree in Social and Political Sciences from the University of Cambridge and a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Oxford.

She's co-host of a Drop in the Bucket podcast, a trained Enneagram coach with Enneagram University, has completed an Externship in Emotion Focused Therapy, and other training courses in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy/DNA-V, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy skills, and Narrative Exposure Therapy. 

And in this episode, she's also joining us as an Enneagram Type 2 wing 1. As someone who's spent years studying human behavior, it's such a treat to hear her insight on the Enneagram in general, and how she specifically experiences life and work as a Type 2. 

You'll also hear: 

• How she's folding in her Enneagram work outside of her day job 
• What it looks like when her Type 8 Stress Arrow shows up
• What she's learned about her Type 4 Growth Arrow 
• How she uses the Enneagram with couples and a key phrase she always starts with 
• What the repressed Center of Intelligence (head, heart, body) can tell us about the disconnect we have with someone else
• The most creative and fun way to use the Enneagram for authors or anyone interested in creating fictional characters 
• Her best advice when making a career change
