Today, we are so excited to have this conversation, mostly because one of our favorite things in the world is to either learn, do something, or unlock a strategy, and then, in two seconds, turn around and start talking about it! We don’t like to let things fester for too long and want our listeners to take a peek behind the curtain as quickly as possible! Some of you might have seen on Emily’s personal Instagram (@emilysays) or our stories @bossproject, that Emily just did a rebrand! It’s so different in an amazing kind of way! 
Part of why Abagail loves it is because for the first time in forever, she didn’t do it herself, so it turned out nothing like it would if she had done it. It’s modern, woo, and earthy! For the first time in forever, Emylee was the client, so today, she gives some behind the scenes insights into how her rebranding process went. She talks about how long it took, what she did herself as far as preparation, the relationship she had with her amazing designer, and a whole lot more!

People often believe that in order to succeed at their work, they have to be absolutely excellent at everything that they do. But what if following that path would only lead you to burnout? Today’s episode was inspired by an article I read by Morgan Smith for CNBC. She interviewed Harvard-trained Neuroscientist and Adjunct Professor Juliet Han. Han suggests a totally different approach to growth. Rather than self-examining your strengths and weaknesses, what if you focused predominantly on your job responsibilities?

Here’s the thing, though: you’re a business owner. So, as the CEO and head of your company, what is most important for you to do? What do you need to be excellent at? What tasks do you need to be good at? What tasks can be low-effort or delegated? There are a couple of things you need to focus on to make your business thrive: cash flow, sales, and messaging. In the digital product world, it’s all about driving continuous traffic to your product rather than constantly improving the offer. Every company is different! Let’s get into it.

840: From a Harvard-trained Neuroscientist: This Counterintuitive Strategy Can Help You Succeed in Your Career

I don't know about you, but when I’m feeling stuck, my default is to jump straight into strategy. What's the tactical plan? What steps should I take? How do I break free from this rut? Is there a book, a podcast, a process, a checklist – anything that can guide me out? Just hand me the instruction manual, and let's get moving! But if you suspect that what's holding you back is more about mindset than your previous blocks have been, then this can be a tough place to be in, especially for those of us who thrive on logic and clear steps forward.

How do we get to the root of why we are feeling so stuck? And more importantly, how do we start feeling positive about charting a new course? But I want to take it a step further. I've compiled a list of questions that I truly believe can help us dig deep and uncover what's going on beneath the surface. I don't think the questions by themselves are as helpful as seeing the process in action. So, we're going to tackle this together. I haven't prepped my answers to these questions. Instead, I'll open up about my own struggles, my mindset obstacles, and where I'm aiming to go next. Let's dive deep into these questions together!

Episode Highlights:

What Do You Really Want?

What Is Making You Feel Stuck?

What Are You Willing To Do About It?

What Are You Not Willing To Do?

What’s Your First Step?

What Are You Willing To Commit To?

How Will You Stay Focused?

How Do You Need to Feel To Be The Most Effective At Showing Up?

How Can You Create More of That Feeling?

Is There Anything You Need To Address In Your Body In Order To Make This Happen?

837: The Ultimate Collaboration Guide: 120 Partnerships & The Mindset That Made Them Possible with Angela Henderson

Passive income posts frustrate me so much – especially the ones promising you that digital products will make you money in your sleep. Don’t get me wrong, digital products have made me millions and they are great to have in your business. But they do not generate sales without maintenance and certainly do not work all on their own! They are far from passive. Today I want to talk about what is actually passive because passive income definitely is available to you and it’s not talked about often enough.

When I came into this business, I had a world of knowledge at my fingertips. I worked in the financial industry prior to building this company and that definitely gave me an advantage. I got to witness what really goes on in the financial world and I got to learn about my financial future rapidly. I know that this job set me up for success regardless of how much I disliked working there! I don’t sell financial products and am not tied to any financial firm, I simply want to see you wealthy and deeply care about your future!
