Did you know that hard work is not one of the required skills for entrepreneurship?

It’s counterintuitive because our culture wants you to believe that your entrepreneurial success is entirely dependent on how many hours you put into building your dream.

But guess what business built on effort alone (a limited resource) will give you? Limited results. That’s why today, we’re talking about the only three characteristics of entrepreneurship you need to master in order to unlock the DNA of a 7 figure entrepreneur, and create the influence, income, and impact you deserve.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: 

• The three shockingly simple skills for entrepreneurship required for real entrepreneurial success
• How mastering these characteristics of entrepreneurship helped Jeff Bezos (Amazon’s Founder) created a net worth of $200+ billion dollars
• Why most entrepreneurs don’t spend time learning these skills for entrepreneurship (hence, why they’re struggling!)
• How you can begin to master these 3 skills for entrepreneurship to  turn your business around, starting today

Most entrepreneurs aren't lacking in ambition... they simply lack one or more of these three key characteristics of entrepreneurship required to break through to that coveted 6+ figure mark and beyond.

One of the questions I’m often asked is, “Courtney, how do you deal with stress and anxiety?” My answer usually surprises people.

So today I thought I’d share my answer on how to destress with you in a way I’ve never done before.

Inside this episode, I explain why “Band-Aid fixes” to deal with stress and anxiety (like journaling, getting a massage, taking a bubble bath etc) aren't effective approaches for dealing with stress and anxiety, so you can put REAL tools in your toolbelt for dealing with stress and anxiety, and finally learn how to destress once and for all and get back in control of your life.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• How to know when your stress level is in the danger zone
• Why stress can’t be “eliminated” or “managed” (and how to destress, instead)
• The root cause of most chronic stress
• The role your thoughts play in dealing with stress and anxiety
• Why some people are better at finding ways to deal with stress and anxiety than others
• How to mitigate stressful situations that “pop up” out of the blue (like when the water heater floods your house, a pandemic hits the globe… etc.)  

When you finish listening, you’ll walk away with more effective ways to deal with stress, so you can learn how to destress, stop overworking, and find a better rhythm in between your work and life.

When it comes to personal brand building, have you ever wished you could get out of your own way and simply do the thing you’re here on this earth to do?

Today’s special guest is the notable Casey Ferrand, a national award-winning journalist and children's author who doubled her brand visibility in less than 3 months when she began using the Visionary Leader Formula™ (and no, she didn't rely on the media to do it, either).

Despite having worked hard in her career for 13+ years, once she discovered what was actually holding her back from creating a brand she loved, she was able to freely walk away from something good… into something GREAT.

Today on the show, she’s here to tell you how you can get out of your own way when it comes to creating a brand and doubling your brand visibility, too.

WHEN YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• The secret sauce for boosting your personal brand visibility (hint: it’s not another marketing tactic!)
• How “Imposter Syndrome” keeps you from creating a brand you love (and how to overcome it)
• Why learning to believe in yourself is the first step to brand building, and where you should begin

You'll also hear about the pivotal moment that helped Casey transform her career and build a personal brand she loves and how you can too.

Casey’s story is inspiring and uplifting, and by the time you finish this episode, you'll catch a clearer glimpse of how YOU can start creating a brand you love when you learn how to get out of your own way, too.

Did you know that most people can’t afford a $400 emergency? Few are able to save for retirement. 

The average wealth for single black women in the prime of their working years in this country is $5, while the median wealth for single white women during the prime of their working years, meanwhile, is $42,600 (according to data from the 2007 Survey of Consumer Finances).

This is one of the reasons why this topic needs to be talked about now more than ever.

I can think of no one better to talk about it than Naseema McElroy, our special guest today, who’s Forbes-featured debt strategy allowed her to pay off $1 Million dollars in debt in two years, and to save an additional $200,000 since she became debt free.

Today you’re going to get her simple, actionable tools so you can learn how to become financially independent.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN: 

• The underrated power of your mindset as it relates to money
• How to identify your “money story” and begin to look at your finances differently
• The fastest way to improve your financial situation, no matter where you are so you can learn how to become financially independent
• The easy steps to tap into the abundance that is always available to you

What if you knew how to stop self doubt in its tracks?

Imagine if every time you set out to launch a new product or get on a call with a potential new client, you didn’t hear that voice in your head saying… “who are you to be doing this?”

Imagine if you approached your business with the self-confidence of a 7 figure entrepreneur, and never questioned your abilities, your level of expertise, or your self worth ever again.

What would this make possible in your business?

Today, I’m going to show you how to trade in that voice of self doubt for the voice of unshakeable confidence and belief in yourself.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER: 

• The major reason WHY most entrepreneurs struggle during the first 2 - 5 years of business
• Why imposter syndrome is a good thing
• The counter-intuitive way to build unshakable confidence in yourself
• How to use unpleasant emotions to your advantage and overcome self-doubt for good

Because what if overcoming self doubt wasn’t about learning how to gain MORE confidence… what if it’s about discovering the confidence that’s already inside of you?
