It's important to remember that your employees are a valuable asset. They are the ones who help to keep your business running, and they deserve to be treated with respect. That means providing fair compensation and benefits, creating a positive work environment, and valuing their contributions. When you treat your employees well, you not only show them that they are valued, but you also set the tone for how your business will be run. Employees who feel appreciated and valued are more likely to be productive and to stay with your company for the long term. So if you want to create a successful business, start by treating your employees right.

In business, as in life, there is always an element of risk. and while some people are naturally more risk-averse than others, everyone experiences a certain amount of anxiety when starting something new or taking on a new challenge. what separates the successful from the unsuccessful is not the absence of fear but the ability to overcome it.

many people let their fear of failure prevents them from even trying. but as the saying goes, "the only way to fail is to not try at all." so if you're ever feeling paralyzed by fear, remember that it's better to take a chance and fail than to never try at all. because in business and in life, success is always possible - but it's never guaranteed.

Today`s Goal: When you're feeling like this when you're feeling defeated and afraid to fail and everything, just know that you're not the only one because everyone that's ever started at anything has gone through it. So just keep chugging along.

Episode Highlight:

01:26 - Especially when you're trying to build something and you're not sure about it. And it's something that hasn't been done, or no one that has done it before. No one really lean on about it. It breeds a lot of doubt.

04:52 - There`s as much as you could be making if you put your effort into yourself.

08:03 -  Doesn't matter if it's been a couple of years like us, or if it's your first week, and you're doubting yourself from the get go, or it's been 10 years, and you're wondering if what you're doing still working, that fear of failure is always there.

11:03 - We want to leave you, keep moving forward. We hope that our example is kind of like a handhold so that you can come with us on this journey. We want you to be there with us and on the ride.

It's important to live your life for yourself and not worry about what other people think. If you're always trying to please other people, you're not going to be happy. Just do what makes you happy and don't worry about impressing anyone. Be confident in yourself and your abilities. People will respect you more if you're genuine and authentic.

As a business owner, it's especially important to follow your own vision and not get swayed by what other people think. You need to be confident in your decision-making ability and trust that you know what's best for your business. It's okay to solicit advice from others, but at the end of the day, you need to make the decisions that are best for you and your business. So don't worry about what other people think- just do what makes you happy and be confident in yourself!

Today`s Goal:  Be shameless. Don't be afraid to post something because you're afraid of somebody else is going to think of you, don't be afraid to start that business, to start exercising, start whatever journey you want to go on because it fuels you it excites you and it motivates you and inspires you.

Episode Highlight:

02:21 - If something in your gut is telling you that you should say no or that you're going to regret it, or that you're going to resent saying yes, say no,

03:46 - At the end of the day, people are going to have their own opinions about you, regardless of what you're doing. So just do what you want to do.

05:08 - Don't worry about what other people are thinking about you. Like I said, they're gonna have their opinions, regardless of what you're doing.

06:52 - Keep doing what you're doing nobody else needs to validate it. Nobody else needs to have any sort of opinion about it because the only opinion that matters is your own.

In this episode, Alyssa and Larry unpack a Tony Robbins workshop and share their thought about mindset and how our mindset affects the way we see life. They mention that one of the most important things Tony Robbins teaches is that we need to identify our limiting beliefs in order to change our mindset.

Alyssa and Larry mention some of the common limiting beliefs that people have, such as "I'm not good enough" or "I can't do it". After discussing some of the ways in which these beliefs can hold us back, they share some tips on how to begin changing our mindset. Overall, this is an insightful episode that will leave you with a lot to think about.

Today's goals: We encourage listeners to challenge their own limiting beliefs and to adopt a growth mindset. By doing so, We believe that anyone can achieve their full potential.

Episode Highlight:

01:53 - We just make our own barriers, and we build up walls to protect us, but it winds up holding us back. The walls that protect you also imprison you.

02:51 - Break down those walls that you build up, in that it's all in your head. Everything that you believe is all in your head, and can be changed to something that is better. 

04:40 - When I talk, I have a really soft voice normally. So people probably just don't hear me. But I take it as my voice is invalid. And then I'm annoying when I talk. And of course, what that cost me is that it cost me friendships and connections and being able to share my story and my experiences that could potentially help somebody because of that limiting mindset.

10:25 - The limiting belief that you don't know how to do something shouldn't exist. And it's very easy to flip that belief.

11:33 -  The more you do something, the more natural it becomes, the more you do it, the better you get. Practice makes better.
