Herpreneur Show

Many women isolate themselves in their business which can be crippling for their self-esteem and business growth.

For me personally, 4 years ago I couldn’t find women at the level I wanted to play at. I was craving for a higher level conversation around my business and direction.

It was like I wanted some thing more underground and private and wanted to separate myself from the common networking communities.

Over those years I started to notice it was like I was hiding in my business, hiding away from anything that would waste my precious work time.

Especially for women I notice we hide in our business for all different reasons, do any of these resonate with you?

Though there comes a time when you know you need to grow again. It’s like you have this ‘knowing’ inside that you need to be stretched.

So out of the nest you go, looking for that next tribe.

And YES….it’s uncomfortable!

But that’s what has gotten you to where you are now right?

Pressure.

Pressure you applied in the past that got you to the level you’re at now.

If you know you have been hiding a little and it’s time to expand your wings, then today I have dedicated this episode to you.

It’s to help you find that next perfect group, event or mastermind.

I will be sharing with you very tangible learnings that will not only get you motivated to  expand your wings but also questions to ask and how to prep for those meet ups.

Heres a quick snapshot of some of todays teachings:

Strap On A Pair

Buying a home for most is timely, scary, exhilarating and emotionally taxing to say the least.

Searching for a property normally starts as the great Australian dream but can turn into a nightmare over the countless weekends of foot stomping. Searching for the dream home. Which normally leads to disappointment in soooo many ways, from Real Estate agents using the tricks to under quote just to get bums on seats for Auctions.

Lets face it, if you don’t know how to negotiate like Donald Trump ( and that’s most of us and we are probably proud of that – LOL) you feel totally out of control and for some even give up.

Elaine Davies, a seasoned buyers agent who reveals in this interview one of the biggest tricks Real Estate agents do to you to get MORE $$$ out of you. 

Believe me they will crawl up in a ball when they hear her say this!

The author of Mind, Body, Sold! is a book that is splits into2 parts: Mindset and then Skillset.

The Mindset part is heavily focused onsetting your head in the right game, focusing on goals, everything to help you attract the property you want .

The Skillset part of the book is the ‘mental download’ of Elaine’s 20 yrs+ experience of negotiating and buying hundreds of properties for her clients. Showing all her secrets that not only help her negotiate the deal, but how to not lose a deal, how to choose high growth areas and much, much more….

Today’s interview is a snapshot of this book that is an original in the property industry.

Elaine is one unique lady who is using all of her abilities to educate you in buying property in the modern world today.

Check out what we cover in this interview :

Who is Elaine Davies?

For many years Elaine worked successfully as a real estate agent, and has the awards to prove it. In 2010, to even out the playing field between property buyers and sellers, she jumped ship and become a buyer’s agent. Since then, in cold to sizzling markets, she’s negotiated hundreds of properties for her clients. Personally, she has been a tenant, is a landlord and whether on her own, with an (ex) husband or with a friend, has bought and sold her own investment properties and family homes. She knows the lot and is known to be an all-round, go-to property expert! She also has a knack of cutting through the fog and opening clients up to new options to put them in charge of the negotiation process.

Along with sharp negotiation skills and property knowledge, Elaine is an educator who knows that without a strong mindset no amount of skill set will work in your favour. She teaches people to focus on their financial and personal future through subjects such as goal-setting, visualising, respecting money and being very picky with who you surround yourself with. As well as property and people, her passions are comedy, travel and most importantly, her family and friends.

Stress is the #1 source of emotional eating

…and how much stress do we have as business owners (eek…a lot!)?

So we medicate our stress with food or alcohol…

some medicate daily, others weekly.

And no matter what, the stress sees most of us getting fatter and fatter.

Especially that spare tire around our midsection from the stress hormone cortisol (goodbye tight waisted tops  )

I know the feeling, it’s like it starts to grow out of control and you don’t even recognise your body anymore when you look at yourself naked in the mirror.

Before we know it, we are dreaming about being thin.

But losing weight is not going to fix it!

We think that’s what will make us happy, though we will keep bouncing back to being overweight if we don’t get to the root cause.

In this episode, I take the reins being the guest today and show you exactly why you over eat and 3 simple yet powerful hacks to help beat emotional eating.

Being overweight, over-eating, over-drinking or any substance abuse is just a side effect or the symptom of something else not being right.
