Trying to juggle a day job and your business (not to mention your family) at the same time? You're not alone.  

But whether you're working your side-gig as a stepping stone to making it your full-time gig, or just to bring in a little extra cash, there are things you can do to make everything run a little bit more smoothly.  

You have a great idea for a business, but you're just not sure if you should pursue it. After all, you've seen other people with great ideas crash and fail. And it's true that not everyone is cut out to be a small business owner. But the real question is - are you? Answer the ten questions I pose in this episode to find out! 

The reason we have problems is because we label certain situations as "problems" in our mind. What would happen if we didn't? Listen in as I teach you to reframe your perception of problems. You'll find out what happened when I had a BIG problem at work, what the theme song of my life is, and you just might get a new perspective on your burdens as I teach  The Parable of the Heavy Pack.  

Can experiencing gratitude change the way we experience life? Today I'll teach you 5 powerful tools to rewire your brain from dwelling on the negative to bursting with gratitude and up-ing your joy quotient!

Finishing our journey, we learn how to handle the road of trials, who we need in our lives to do that, and how to come out a true hero in the end! 

What happens when an unlikely hero (that's us!) feels called to leave their ordinary world and answer the call to adventure? Usually, our gut issue a great big, "No, thank you!". 

But when we enter the unknown anyway, with a humble willingness to be changed, great things can happen!

We were born with the capacity to feel fear, and it serves an important purpose. Except when it doesn't. Except when it tries to hijack our choice to do something new!

This week I turn my mic over to Licensed Clinical Social Worker Melyssa Roderick. With 15 years' experience working with individuals and groups, Melyssa especially enjoys teaching psychoeducational classes on topics related to emotion management. 

In other words, she knows what she's talking about! If you listened to Episode 4 "Doing It Scared" and came away wanting more, well, here you go. Listen, learn, then go out and rock this dang world!

Novelists will spend days, weeks or even months outlining their next book. But how much time do we spend actually planning where we want our business to go? Using The Hero's Journey method of outlining, and other writing techniques, Lecia teaches you how to outline your own journey - a journey where you write the story instead of just playing a bit part in someone else's plot.

Are the dreams in your head - the business you want to build, the lifestyle you want to lead, the ways you want to serve - impossible, or have they just not been done yet? 

Our mind often judges things to be impossible simply because it has no data to show that we can do it. In other words, in the past, we haven't done it. 

But why in the world would that mean we can't do it in the future? Every new skill we've ever learned, every new job we've ever taken on, every talent we've ever honed - none of that had been done by us before, either. And yet, we did it. 

If you're having trouble believing in yourself, listen in to re-tool your definition of impossible into I'm Possible. The person I want to be is in there, and she's possible! 

I often hear people say, "I'd really like to have a business, but I just don't know where to start." 

Well, hold on to your hats, because this episode changes all that! Lecia walks you through a clear, proven process to take just about any business idea and turn it into an actual business - without the fear and overwhelm.
