Scaling Up

It’s the end of an era! Today is a bittersweet day as we say goodbye to something really good to make room for something even better.

Welcome to our last episode of Scaling up…

The show that we’ve grown over the last two and a half years and the community that we’ve fostered that’s turned into something really special. 

On today’s final episode, I’m sharing behind the scenes into what’s coming next and why you won’t want to miss it.

I also have some final thoughts that you can take to the bank… literally.

So come with me as we put a cherry on top of this show - because in essence, what we’re doing is exactly why we started this show in the first place - we’re scaling up! We’re going to our next level and I’m challenging you to do the same!

Welcome to our very last pep talk!

It’s a simple one. It’s my wish for you as we close down Scaling Up and head into this new podcast that we’re launching.

Are you pursuing what you are being called to? 

Not because of where the money is, not because of what the market is calling for, not because of expectations society has placed on you… but because there is no other option. Because you know that if you don’t do it, you will feel like you have failed yourself.

It’s scary and uncertain, and it may go against the norm, but it is for you.

Sometimes we drive ourselves bonkers trying to determine what our true purpose is. The question I always ask myself is: is this for me, or is this bigger than me?

Your true purpose should have an impact that is bigger than just you.

We’re coming to the end of an era, folks.

This show has been such a gift to me, and I hope that it has brought value to your life as well.

To commemorate the last few years of Scaling Up, we wanted to do a “Best Of” episode to compile some of our favorite episodes. So if you’re looking for an episode that is going to be loaded with nuggets of gold, this is the episode for you!

Today we’re talking about the difference between popularity and leadership. There’s often a misconception that those two words are synonymous, and that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Popularity is not synonymous with leadership, and believing that it is can actually be dangerous. To honor the calling that you have, you have to live within a set of core values. Those core values should serve as your true north.

But if you mistake being popular with being a leader, you might have a bend toward that popularity because it feels good! We all like to be liked.

When you start to sway toward what feels good over what’s right, you move away from that set of values that are truly the stepping stones toward your purpose.

Leadership is not always doing what’s popular, but doing what’s right.

I have been eagerly awaiting today’s episode with Lorraine Dallmeier!

You are going to get a taste of things that I find to be some of the most critical pieces of the puzzle when it comes to growing a thriving empire and, at the same time, honoring your health in the process.

Lorraine is a rockstar in the online business space. We talk a lot about her journey, the power of hard work, and what it truly takes to stand the test of time. Lorraine understands what it means to build a strong foundation in business for the long haul.

You are not going to want to miss this episode!

Today’s episode is short and sweet, but really important for me to share:

College is not the end goal for our kids.

The cultural norm says that it should be. For the past couple of decades in our country, it has been a given that in order to be “successful” as an adult, you will probably have to go to college.

When I was growing up, that was definitely my trajectory. My parents valued higher education, so there were really no other options on the table for me. The question wasn’t if I would go to college, but where.

I wasn’t bothered by it or pressured by it, it just was. That’s just what everyone was doing. College was the default.

College is where so many of us go, or went, because we thought we need to in order to be of value in our society. But this is actually so far from the truth today. So this episode is aimed specifically at debunking that myth.

My listeners here on scaling up have been so supportive of me since the day I launched this podcast at nearly full-baked pregnant in the dead of the most oppressively cold winter here in Wisconsin.

It’s been harder than I expected to wind down this show to gear up for what’s next.

But today, I wanted to tell you a little bit more about where my heart is being called and why I’d love for you to come along for the ride!

Today’s episode is full of gratitude and will give you a glimpse into the future…

Let’s get to the show!

I know you know what you do. We’re past the point of figuring out who you serve and how you serve them, right? Today’s Pep Talk is short and sweet. It’s about the greater mission behind why you do what you do.

There has to be a greater mission, a deeper calling.

I think it’s safe to say that this is one of the most important things for you to learn how to discern, as both an entrepreneur and just a person living in our modern world: how do you know what’s a good opportunity vs. a “shiny” opportunity?

Everyone loves a good opportunity! But part of really elevating into your next level means discerning which opportunities are the right ones.

Sometimes, they’re such great opportunities it would seem crazy to say no.

Other times, it’s tough to decipher whether it’s something that would be a launching pad or ultimately an anchor. 

Discernment is a key discipline in both leadership and successful entrepreneurship and it requires your next level of wisdom. So today I’m talking to you about how to discern which opportunities are for you and which ones are not. 

Let’s tap into it!

I’ve gone back and forth on whether I want to participate in this conversation in any capacity, but I’ve had enough people reaching out asking about my thoughts that I decided today’s the day.

I have a very strong opinion on the Rachel Hollis drama, and apparently it’s an unpopular opinion. I’ve been reading and listening to other people’s opinions, and it’s just so not mine.

My first reaction when I saw the infamous video was to disregard it, honestly. I have zero interest in getting roped into this nonsense. Let me tell you why.
