IMPACT

Continuing our mini mindset series, I want to focus on the all-important and extremely relevant topic that is ‘overwhelm.’ As soon as we went into lockdown, a lot of us thought we would have more time to begin working overtime. But for many of us, that idea soon came crashing down just days or weeks later. We may have had the best of intentions going into it all, but now things are beginning to spiral out of control with too many goals and projects to balance.

So on this theme of overwhelm, what I really want to talk about today are some of the key strategies we can implement to manage it. I’ll be sharing some of the strategies that I use in order to keep myself on track, strategies that many of my mindset students use to keep themselves on track, as well as some of the strategies that entrepreneurs that I look up to are using. I also address the question of when to know when to hire someone to help (or when you should begin to hand off some tasks!)

BADASS FUEL — Fuel for Badass Women

Scientifically Supported Ingredients | Support, Not Replacement | Non-GMO

Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation to my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics.

CALL TO ACTION

“What outcome are you after? What timeline does it have to be executed upon? What action do you need to take? What order does this project need to be initiated in? What tasks can you hand off? And is there a way to make it easier?” These are all of the key questions I want you to be asking yourself following today’s episode to eliminate your overwhelm! For this week’s ‘call to action’ I’d love for you to take the time to answer these questions and try the Entrepology Time System too!

Let me know how it all goes for you by following up on The Entrepology Collective — because when you’re accountable, you’re helpable!

It’s been a while since I’ve last sat down to do a solo episode! And I don’t know about you, but the world has been a little bit of a crazy place lately!

So, what I want to do for today’s episode is to explore some of the key elements that are rising to the surface to me right now. This episode will be the first in a miniseries of three episodes where I explore some key ideas around mindset.

In this episode, in particular, we’re going to be taking a look at this notion of fighting for limitations. I’m going to be sharing what I’ve personally observed around this as well as how to really triage whether or not we’re stuck in a state of standing up for what we are wanting out of life or… if we’re actually caught in a state of paralysis. Ultimately, I want to help you enable a reorientation of the options that are available to you right now — both personally and for your business!

Key Takeaways:

[:40] About today’s solo episode (the first in a three-part series)!

[2:41] What we’ll be talking about in the future episodes of this mini mindset series.

[4:13] Unpacking this idea of ‘fighting for limitations’ and the few camps of people I’ve observed in the last several weeks.

[5:55] The interesting transition I’ve seen when it comes to people’s businesses.

[7:06] What happens when we fight for our limitations and what I mean by “work in this world that is of service.”

[8:30] How I know if my work is ‘working’ for me.

[9:38] The three criteria to know your business is working for you.

[10:38] The two questions I want you to ask right now about your business.

[12:00] A third question you could ask about your business to carry on with the work that you’re doing.

[12:28] Are you fighting for your limitations? Here’s how to know.

[13:47] Where we are right now and where we need to go.

[15:13] If this idea is resonating with you, here’s what I am encouraging you to do.

CALL TO ACTION

There are three key elements that entrepreneurs really need to look at in order to up level their brand: authenticity, visibility, and consistency. If you can assess your own brand and look at these three things, you’re off to a really good start! Ask yourself: ‘Am I consistent in the tone, feel, and language of my brand? Am I authentic in my message? Does it really truly represent who I am? Am I showing up consistently? Am I showing up online? Can people see me?’ Take some time to answer questions around these three key elements and let us know your answers! What are you doing well? And what do you need to improve upon? Follow up with us on The Entrepology Collective — because when you’re accountable, you’re helpable!

It is an interesting time right now. And if ever we needed to call on our inner alter ego of badassness… this is the time to do it!

My guest today is Alison Taylor. She is the co-founder of the Jane app, an electronic health record platform and application out of Vancouver. Alison and I have known each other for a number of years and when we booked this podcast several weeks ago, we were not in the midst of managing COVID-19. Over the last several weeks, there has been a tremendous shift in our industry as healthcare providers and her need to transition and pivot rapidly as a business owner.

This episode is not about health or technology — it’s about opportunity. It’s about the chance that we all have as entrepreneurs to step into a higher role and the requirements and necessities that need to be in place in order for that to happen.

Alison is a seasoned entrepreneur. She thinks strategically and that’s been a part of her success. But the message that she shares today is so relatable to so many of us! It is truly my pleasure to introduce Alison Taylor to you all today!

More About Chris Smith

Chris is a fifth-generation AZ native. He was raised in a ranching-rodeo family and still competes in rodeos across the Southwest. His wife is his hero and his kids are his best friends.

Chris has always been fascinated with storytelling and influencing people his entire life. He started using storytelling to his advantage professionally in 2004 when he began a real estate career. Not long after that, he began in commercial real estate. That was when he had a HUGE realization. He realized that his success had more to do with his ability to listen, serve, and tell the story of who he was than it did with his knowledge about the industry or our service. Quickly, he became one of the top producers in the office and knew very little about what they did. This fascinated him to no end!

Long story short, Chris has had a few lifetimes of careers — everything from selling products and services to ideas and dreams. Along his journey, he has always succeeded by listening, serving and telling the story of who he was, not what he did. Somewhere along that journey, he had the most powerful realization of all — which can be summed up by his favorite quote by Mark Twain: “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”​ He then found out why he was put on this earth; to help others get clear on what their brand stands for, the stories they should be telling, and how to build a culture people can connect with.

That is when he started kCross and their proprietary methodology: ‘The Campfire Effect.’

Chris has had the privilege of working with startups, small businesses, and emerging high-tech growth businesses, as well as Fortune 500 companies. He believes that if organizations were more intentional about what their brand stood for and could communicate that story with clarity, the impact and influence they would have on the world would be unstoppable.

Through kCross, Chris is spreading the Campfire Effect to organizations throughout the world!

Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation to my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics. Learn more or order the products yourself by visiting BadassFuel.com!

Hang tight everybody! Today’s episode was a doozy! I was joined by Corey Deacon, the co-founder and Medical Director of Neurvana Health, a clinic in Calgary that focuses on brain health and something called Quantitative EEG (qEEG). Now, Corey’s credentials are exhaustive! He has a Doctorate in Natural Medicine, he’s a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, and he’s a member of The Examining Board of Natural Medicine Practitioners Canada™.

Corey has extensive experience exploring how lifestyle has an effect on brain health. And not just brain health as it pertains to concussions or trauma, but as it pertains to anxiety, depression, ADD, and some of the more functional disorders that are quite frankly systemic in our population.

In this episode, Corey and I went deep into the science — we seriously geeked out on some of the things that you should be looking at in your own lifestyle, how you can start to make shifts on a daily basis, and the top three things that we are both seeing affecting people in a chronic way — and they are definitely not what you’d expect!

If you are interested in understanding how your brain can serve you at its highest potential and how you can preserve your brain activity very long into life, then this episode is designed especially for you!

Key Takeaways:

[13:13] Has Corey seen shifts in the patients and individuals with emotional and psychological brain diagnoses with the testing that he is doing at Neurvana Health?

Last week on the podcast I had the privilege of bringing on one of my closest friends and colleagues, Dr. Erin Wiley. In that episode, we shared that I’m going to be making some really significant transitions in my career which involve me stepping down permanently from private practice and working one-on-one with patients.

Throughout the last year, I’ve really taken the time to gain some perspective on how I want to spend my time and energy moving forward. And the one thing that I have always made a promise about is that no matter what I do with my career, I am more committed to the mission at hand than the model through which I serve that mission.

With that being said, I’m excited to be bringing you a solo episode this week to share all that I’ve learned in this transition and what I will be doing with my time, going forward. And, if you’re an entrepreneur looking to make some significant shifts in your own business or life, I also recommend tuning in to learn more about the process itself and how to go about such a huge, life-changing transition.

Key Takeaways:

[:20] About today’s solo episode.

[1:45] My ultimate mission with the work that I do.

[4:18] What I’ve been struggling with regarding my practice.

[6:09] My turning point for realizing that I needed to step down from my practice.

[10:32] Why I waited until now to make this transition.

[11:42] Why I am incredibly confident in Dr. Erin Wiley to take over my practice.

[13:33] What I’m going to start to do with my time going forward.

[15:15] Giving my thanks to all of you!

[16:31] My limiting beliefs around stepping away from my practice and how I overcame them.

[17:41] What these last five months have been like… and what I promise you moving forward.

[18:01] What I wish for all of you listening.

[18:19] Thanks for listening and I’ll see you next week!
