Homeward: The Sovereign Business Podcast

Today's guest, uncompromising + inspired business coach who believes it's ALL possible, Jenny Shih, says we can make money doing the work we love- while also living a life we love. Jenny is an insightful, intuitive, strategic planner with a passion for efficiency and systems.

Jenny started out in corporate America, managing multi-million dollar projects spanning four continents and overseeing dozens- and sometimes hundreds- of team members. While her peers had become increasingly overwhelmed and stressed out, working 60-plus hours a week, Jenny refused to let the same thing happen to her.

Jenny experimented with time management, efficiency, and delegation techniques so she could have a life outside her job. In the process, she learned to manage her staff, get her work done, and handle big projects in 40 hours a week… or less.

In this episode, Jenny dives deep and explains how she can get more done with less stress, less chaos, and almost zero overwhelm. Plus, Jenny describes how to utilize structures + systems to perfect our businesses (and our lives.)

Angelike's philosophy and her coaching have been featured on NBC, ABC, CNN, FOX, and CBS.

Angelike dives deep into her story to shine the light on the dark spot in our own stories, knowing all too well that when we turn the light on, we can air things out. Plus, Angelike describes the divine order in our lives, and why we need to commit to excellence + flex our spiritual muscles.

There is a universal experience that we will all face one day, in one form or another. It involves being "voted out" by others, or voting others out yourself. It requires us to as ourselves the question; Am I ready to run? Or am I ready to rise?

In this week's Focus Friday, I explain the importance of stepping up our games, regardless of what others around us think when we do so. AND- why it's so important to surround yourself with those who will continue you to push you forward, instead of demanding that you stay where you're at.

• My own story of a universal experience that teaches us to grow [ 1:05 ]
• Where are you voting people out instead of calling yourself up? [ 4:30 ]

• Are the people around you calling you up? [ 9:30 ]

• "Where are you voting people out instead of calling yourself up?"
