Key Takeaways:

• Success in entrepreneurship is all about having complete control over schedule, working with respected people, having enough money for present and future needs, and growing one's business and others. Determine what success means to you personally and write it down. 
• Whatever challenges one faces, it is always worth it to align one’s career with one's life goals. Helping others achieve their dreams is a fulfilling thing. 
• Digital entrepreneurs need patience, seeing business as an ongoing process spanning multiple stages before achieving success – not just one certification or product. 
• Avoid resentment by not seeing work as oppositional to life but as a part of it. Set metrics that matter and focus on progress rather than outcomes. Embody success before achieving it. Doing that will lead to your growth.

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:

• Living life with intention
• The power of consistent effort
• Investing in your growth
• Prioritizing what matters 

Key Takeaways:

• Be intentional about making decisions for your future self, not only for your current situation. Make decisions that will make future-you happy, fulfilled, and closer to your goals and dreams.
• Consistent effort compounds over time. No matter how big or small that effort is, it’s going to lead to significant personal and professional development eventually.
• Personal development is not selfish, it's essential. Put aside a budget that you can use to invest in your growth. When you focus on becoming the best version of yourself, it makes a huge positive difference in everyone around you.
• Determine what your top priority is and prioritize that. Notice that the word “priority” is in singular, and not plural. Everything else will revolve around your priority.

"Small consistent steps lead to big results. Keep moving forward, no matter how small the steps may seem." —  Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:

• Reflect on where you are
• Evaluate and navigate
• Create an action plan
• Lead yourself, be accountable

Key Takeaways:

• It is impossible to navigate to where you want to be if you don’t know where you are at the moment. You need to have a point of reference in order to proceed in the right direction. Look at your life areas and see where you are at in each one. 
• Determine what’s working for you and what is not. We need to know what the gaps are so that we can close those gaps. Go back to the goals you’ve set out at the start of the year or the projects that you planned to do and evaluate each one whether you want to continue with them or not. 
• Now that you have an idea of where you’re at and where you want to go, it’s time to think about what action you can take to close the gap and move forward in the right direction. 
• This is by far, the hardest job but also the most necessary.  Once you have determined a goal and created a plan that will get you there, all that’s left to do is to hold yourself accountable to that and execute your plan.

• Stress will always be there, you can’t ever completely get rid of it. Our world is full of deadlines, expectations, responsibilities, and challenges - and  those things are very stress-inducing. However, by creating good habits, you’ll be able to bounce back faster.

In this episode, Chabidaye and Dr. Erin discuss:

• Starting With Open-Mindedness
• The Power Of The Pause
• Planning For Success 
• The Strength In Asking for Support
• The Selflessness Of Self-Care

Key Takeaways:

• Open-mindedness is critical for growth. It’s absolutely essential that we start with this before getting to the other parts of the framework because, without open-mindedness, the whole thing falls apart before it can even begin. 
• When we pause, we get ourselves used to using our brain’s executive functions. When we train that part of us, we become better thinkers and decision-makers. We become less reactive and more decisive and proactive. 
• No matter how big a goal is, it’s the little steps you take that will get you there. Break down that big goal into bite-sized chunks and make yourself accountable to doing all those little steps consistently. Then, you’ll get the outcome that you want. 
• Delegation doesn’t just empower you to be your best self, it also empowers those that you take on the journey with you to success. Making people a part of your team makes them a part of the solution and therefore, it also makes them a part of your victory. It’s a win-win-win situation! 
• Spend intentional time taking care of yourself. It’s not selfish because it will help you serve others better. If you want to do more good and do it consistently and sustainably, then you need to practice the discipline of self-care. Yes, it’s a discipline - an essential. 

"Lower that bar and just get started with that one thing, one step in the right direction. And that will create the momentum to carry you through to those bigger things that you want to accomplish.." —  Dr. Erin Hurley

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:

• The S.T.R.E.S.S framework to utilize when you feel stressed
• Listening to and challenging your negative thoughts 
• Sharing your struggle with others 
• Setting boundaries and creating good habits

Key Takeaways:

• The best thing you can do when you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or stressed is to get up and walk away. Take a few minutes off. Change the environment you’re in. Seek out the sunlight, have a cup of coffee, and walk around. Do anything you can to change your environment at the moment. 
• Listen to your thoughts and challenge each one of them. Ask yourself what actions you can take or what you can start doing to improve your situation. 
• Share your situation with your trusted people. By talking things through, you might realize what your next steps could be. You might even gain a better perspective once you hear what other people think or even discover solutions that got others through a similar situation. 
• Be mindful of your energy when you feel stressed. Raise your energy by going for a walk, doing some exercise, or listening to music. Do the things that lift you up and make you feel better. It will help you think of possible solutions to the stress you’re feeling. 
• When you see stress invading your thoughts and shifting your day, then practice the framework and take back control. Recognize the impact that this stressor has on your overall life and your ability to focus on your priorities. Overcome the stress and go back to the things that you had planned for that day. 
• When you hit moments of stress, you fall back automatically on your habits. If you form good habits, then you can get back up quickly out of stress.
