Today, Kelly Roach visited us in First Class for a POP UP PARTY! We discussed fundamental business strategies for growth and transformation, the importance of team management, and working with individuals who believe in the company's vision. We also talked about how to be more responsible with finances, since it's one of the most important tasks for entrepreneurs, especially in the first years of business.

Building a business from scratch requires a significant amount of work, and keeping it running can be stressful without the right guidance. Kelly shared valuable tips to help maintain a thriving business. Key factors include prioritizing time, communicating effectively, and embracing a positive mindset, all of which are essential for effective leadership.

In this episode of Literally First Class, Keri discusses the importance of faith and faith-based practices in her daily routine. Everyone experiences their own connection with religion and faith in different ways, but it can be beneficial listening to another person sharing their personal experiences as well. There are numerous lessons of faith and hope out there, and perhaps one of them can resonate with you.

When we talk about religion, it is understood that it can help us move forward in life. Many times, we seek support from religion and God to let go of things that no longer serve us, allowing us to reach new levels and receive new blessings. Communicating with God, however, can take many forms and is a deeply personal experience. Finding your own way to connect can be subjective, but most of all, inspirational. Tune in!

Do you sometimes feel that things are too good to be true? Am I worthy of this good news? The “Too-Good-To-Be-True Anxiety” is an actual thing, and there is a reason why you feel this way: your mind is simply following a thought pattern because of past experiences. That is why it can feel like a threat when things are going great. The key is to learn the difference between a real threat and a perceived one.

In this episode of Literally First Class Podcast, Keri talks about how upper limits can test your nervous system. It is a situation that can happen in your personal life, business, or even in your relationships. It can also be an impediment to achieve more success. When we learn the strategies to handle this feeling and rewire our nervous system, what once felt like a risk, starts to feel like a blessing. Tune in!

How can you tell the difference between feeling overwhelmed and embracing new phases in your business? As you advance in your entrepreneurial career, it’s common to have more tasks and responsibilities. However, it’s important to recognize your limits. Understanding how your nervous system operates can make this distinction clearer.

In this week’s episode, Keri discusses this concept and emphasizes that the signs are present in your daily life; you just need to learn to identify them. To do this, gaining insight into your nervous system is essential, as it can indicate whether you’re truly feeling overwhelmed or if you’re simply navigating a larger plan.

In this week's episode, the topics are personal growth and relationships. Keri discusses the importance of inviting your loved ones to be part of your world and to grow alongside you. It's a concept that can be easily applied to friends and family (specially during the holiday season), but it's more commonly addressed to partners. Afterall, finding areas where both have similar goals and values is top priority in a relationship.

Although growing together is the priority, one can start to feel that they are outgrowing their partner, which can happen, and it's completely normal. When this situation arises, two strategies can help soothe the friction: open communication and constant support. Tune in to learn more!

What is the best sales strategy for managing my nervous system? This is a question you might find yourself asking frequently. As we know, it's important to elevate our energy levels and minimize stress when running a business and making money. The challenge often lies in knowing how to effectively reduce stress responses, for example, before a sales call.

So, in this new episode, Keri first explores the four primary stress or trauma responses: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. She then shares simple yet effective practices to help you manage these responses and focus on what needs to be done. All of the strategies consider the role of the nervous system, so it’s important to recognize which response you may be unintentionally exhibiting.

In this episode of Literally First Class, Keri dives into the importance of offering the next generation diverse opportunities for financial success. As an entrepreneurial woman, you may have been the first in your family to break away from the corporate path and embrace entrepreneurship. In doing so, you’ve rewritten a narrative that has been passed down through generations.

So, how essential is it to share this possibility with your children? By introducing them to the idea of earning money creatively, you can help pave the way for new stories and opportunities, leaving old narratives behind.

Tune in to explore this perspective and more!
