Hacking The Chaos

Join Faith and Candice as they tackle one of the simplest - yet most difficult - aspects of entrepreneurship - showing up.  Learn how they have broken out of their comfort zones, sought guidance from mentors and coaches, and are propelling their businesses - and their lives - forward...simply by showing up.

As entrepreneurs, we know it's up to us to make things happen in our businesses and in our lives - if we don't, who will?  And yet, sometimes priceless opportunities present themselves and we're paralyzed with indecision and fear.

In this episode, Candice and Faith change it up a bit... instead of a traditional episode they decided to ask each other questions. 

The questions ranged from personal to business related and Candice even passed on one! 

We all have our daily lists a mile long, our daily routine (or almost daily), our favorite movies because we identify with the characters or storyline, our favorite books (fiction or non-fiction) that we just absolutely LOVE... Candice & Faith are no different but you'll have to listen in to find out. ;)  

• [02:00] What's your most memorable birthday?
• [04:10] What are some of your limiting beliefs?  
• [07:14] What's something you could teach me? 
• [08:08] Outside of working (or work) what's your favorite hobbies? 
• [09:41] Do you have time each day that you put aside to invest in improving yourself, and if so... how does that look? 
• [14:09] What are your top 3 movies and why? 
• [19:50] When you have an idea like something you want to do, like a project idea or a business plan, do you sit down and actually plan it all out or do you just hit the ground running and just let it come to you as you go?
