Fearless Business Podcast

 

 

Most of us have heard of, and likely have, a Vision and a Mission for our company. But have you considered adding Purpose and Impact to this solid foundation?

 

Today Mary talks with Belma McCaffrey, a career and leadership coach and CEO/Founder of Work Bigger. Belma and her company help high achievers find their purpose and get clear on what they want to do with their lives and business. Because when you are able to connect with your customers based on values, you can grow your business in bigger ways. 

 

Mary and Belma cover some great areas about having a purpose. Belma explains how to build your company’s values and feel truly grounded. She also gives great insight in a lot of key areas including: 

> Vision, Mission and Purpose. What are the differences?

> Why is it so important to add in the purpose for your company?

> How much of this is internal to your company, and how much do you make public knowledge?

> How important is it to connect your growing team to your purpose?

As 2020 is rolling toward the end, Jamie and Mary wanted to come together and spend the month reflecting. More specifically, reflecting on all things leadership.

 

How did we rise to challenges this year? How did we handle situations that we’ve never experienced before? They dive in and take a look at leadership in a time of crisis.

 

The ladies want to take the time this month to think about what type of leader you are, how you show your leadership, and how you show up for your community. You don’t need to lead a team in your business, but there are other ways you can lead your community and those around you each day. 

 

Listen this week as they reflect on all things leadership, where they were and where they are now. Take a minute to reflect and look at how far you’ve come! 

 

Please join us in the HQ because we want to hear what other people think about leadership. How do you view leadership and do you view yourself as a leader?

November already?! This year is coming to a close soon - How did that happen?

This week we’re covering a topic many of us try not to think about, let alone dive into planning. Mary is talking all about contingency planning with Mary Beth Simon of Niche Partnership Consulting. 

 

Contingency planning is a difficult topic since many people don’t like to think about negative events that could happen in their lives. But as difficult as it is, planning for it is the smart way to go. 

 

Mary asks some important questions to help us better understand the topic and how planning would work. Some of these questions are:

> What holds people back from planning for the unexpected?

> Why do entrepreneurs need a contingency plan?

> How do you decide who should be your second in command and would the same person handle personal as well as business affairs?

> Where do you start?

 

… And so much more! 

 

Mary Beth is offering our listeners a free contingency planning kit. Just text the word “kit” to 33777 for a link to the kit!

 

Please join us in the HQ and let us know if you feel better about contingency planning and if you intend to get started planning!

Today Jamie gets to talk with a queen of Ops! Natalie Gingrich from The Ops Authority chats with her all about how to successfully navigate hiring an operations team member.

The ladies cover so many things to help guide you through the operations member hiring process, including:

> Why does an organization need operations and why should a founder be thinking about it from day one?

> When do you know you’re ready?

> How do we let go of control?

> What qualities make a good operations professional?

 

… And so much more!
