It All Starts With You

I was honored to be interviewed by The Decision by EO Nashville podcast. If you have been a long term listener of Business Unveiled, you have heard me mention EO just a few times!! The Entrepreneur Organization is one of the best investments I have ever made as a business owner. The Decision by EO Nashville podcast was started by the EO Nashville chapter, out of the curiosity of how we can make better decisions with the help of the forum experience. A forum is similar to an advisory board, we share experiences and help each other through thick and thin. So today's podcast is going to be about how to use pain and drive change. Are you experiencing burnout from a fast-paced lifestyle? Business owners often undertake every available opportunity and amass too many responsibilities at once. Joining an EO forum allows you to prioritize tasks and regain control of your life. But it’s your responsibility to make meaningful change. How can you transform your personal and professional life and help others in the process? In today’s episode of The Decision by EO Nashville Podcast, Robert Hartline and Eric Jackson invite me to speak about the power of transforming your life and business. We have observed that life-altering events drive radical change. After developing severe health issues from managing 250 events yearly, I was compelled to restructure my lifestyle. I attended EO forums to budget my time and reassess our priorities with calendar blocking and strategic planning. Through extensive coaching and accountability, we gained the clarity and experience to teach others the significance of self-care and prioritization. When coaching others with similar challenges, I recommend allowing them to seek help first before using your experiences to guide them. I also share business goals, how to embrace change through EO coaching, and how to coach new EO forum members without offering advice. *Take away points* • My background in psychology and how I joined EO • How I shifted my mindset through EO and transformed the business • Embracing personal and professional change through EO coaching • The key drivers of change and decision-making *More About EO Nashville* EO is a high-quality support network of nearly 15,000 like-minded leaders across over 60 countries.

How Accountability and Experience Drive Transformative Change

Have you ever had a nightmare where you wake up in cold sweats in a panic totally disoriented? I’ll never EVER forget the first morning I didn’t show up for work…the night before I went to a Jessica Simpson concert.  And let’s just say there were too many pitchers of margaritas ordered.  Sooooo, you won’t be shocked when I tell you I forgot to set my alarm to wake up for work the next day. And I am not one of those people that wakes up naturally.  I honestly don’t even remember going to bed that night.   Now, this is when I was in healthcare and worked at the hospital, not a business owner (this was over two decades ago and it’s never happened since).  I OVER SLEPT. Which to me, was a nightmare!!   I woke up to my cell phone ringing.  My boss (at the time) had called more than 25 times.  I had not shown up to work yet and was two hours late.  I missed two important meetings that I was supposed to start my boss’s presentation (she didn’t know how to work the projector, etc…that’s because I did her presentation and was the “tech” girl that hooked everything up). I don’t know if it was because I was hung over, or because of the phone call that just woke me up out of a dead sleep.  After telling my boss I am so sorry and was feeling sick, she screamed at me and told me that I better get to work that people/patients were counting on me.  And she was counting on me.  I ruined her morning meeting because I wasn’t there to hook up all the “tech” stuff. I didn’t work in IT department either.  I hung up the phone and vomited everywhere.  All over the floor.  All over my bed.  And I left it all.  Took a shower and drove to work. I pulled over twice to vomit.   I will never forget how she handled it and HOW it made me feel.  It was the way she delivered the message to me. She did not even ask if I was ok.  What if I was dead in a ditch some where (which I don’t think that way).  Let’s just say it was the icing on the cake.   It was time to jump. That’s what we are chatting about today at Best Little Hair House, with Karissa Paulk, in Nashville, TN.  *Take away points* -Why you want to Slow down.  Stop.  Listen. Educate -How to keep it simple and create a better client experience -Where are the gaps in your life that are driving any miscommunication and how are you handling it -THE one thing you need to do to grow your business -Why you want to set goals vs. micro managing -Are you paying attention to the right things….like labels.  You could be using chemicals that are the leading cause of cancer.  -Misconceptions about the beauty world and how it’s different from any other industry My personal favorite take away was the 1 hr ADHD rule that our guest today is going to share. So let’s escape for 35 min. and dive in…. What is your #1 Time suck? What are you doing about it? Too large of a to do list between personal and business owning, prioritizing lists and making sure to schedule time for things that feed the soul.  How do you manage your time? How do you make sure that you are productive? Lists, I have lists for days. Plus I have a 1 hour rule at home.  Let’s crush some myths, what is a common myth about your industry, area of business? 1. You can’t make a great living 2. In order to make a great living you have to double book and triple book, work 6 days a week, etc.  What is the biggest challenge you’re facing in your role/business/project right now and how are you tackling it?   Time management - prioritizing is key and keeping calendars and lists updated.  In your opinion, what is the most important personality trait/strength someone would need to work in your industry/be successful in your job? Being driven, this is not an industry for the lazy  Who has been your most important professional mentor? What have they shared with you that you still use in your business today? Angela- from social media, to referring me to an accountant, to helping me see a bigger picture and put systems and processes in place.

Is It YOUR Time To Jump?

What is your personal story? Have you thought about how it has shaped who you are as a business person? If not, it may be time to start uncovering it and how you can use your story as a tool for growth for your business.  I am so excited to share today’s guest, Kay Cote, who I met at PodFest in Orlando of 2023. Kay is a podcaster and loves to dance, so you know we instantly clicked! Kay’s mission is to share how to live an elevated life by embracing your truest self.  Main Topics: *Use your story to create genuine connections *How to embrace vulnerability and create trust *How to uncover your lost talents Key Takeaways: *Forgive and release what holds you back *Learn how to talk to the childhood you *Embrace your truest you More About Our Guest: I am a speaker, podcaster and entertainer. My story began when  I was an enthusiastic 5 year old, full of energy and wanting to make friends with everyone. Despite my enthusiasm, after entering the doors to elementary school, I endured 9 years of chronic bullying and lost who I was the lies and harsh words I was told about myself. I remember coming home, hitting record on my old cassette player and recording my thoughts as though I had a radio show. I would talk about encouraging other kids and reminding them that they would get through the hardships of being bullied. Creativity like this saved my life and allowed me an outlet to express myself during the years I endured being bullied.  It wasn't until nearly two decades later that I started researching about the long term effects of bullying and realized that I had never addressed the negative inner dialogue that existed even years after the bullying subsided. Through this realization, I have discovered how to break free from the lies and embrace my true purpose. Today I share my experiences in efforts to help others set themselves free from the lies to befriend their inner bully and discover their purpose.
