Scaling Up

There are so many nuggets of gold you are going to just eat up in today’s episode with Heather Chauvin.

Heather brings so much life to the table, maybe because she’s been on the brink of losing that life.

I wanted to get Heather on the show to share not just the wisdom she has gained through a cancer diagnosis, motherhood, and building a business, but also because Heather embodies what it means to be a true leader. 

Heather does an incredible job of reminding us that no matter the role we find ourselves in, we all have an opportunity to step up to the challenge of being a leader.

You are going to glean so much insight from this episode!

I’m letting you in on a practice that I have to help me break bad habits and pursue greatness, even in the little things.

When you're trying to break an old habit and create a new habit, instead of just trying to stop doing the old habit cold turkey, you can instead put a new habit next to a trigger of something you already do.

Big growth in life isn’t always sexy. It doesn’t happen from these big, pivotal, crazy moments where you make massive leaps. Growth comes from the little things that you either choose to do or eliminate that will get you to where you want to go.

We are never standing still. Every single thought we have and move we make is either taking us closer to the person we want to become, or it’s moving us farther away from that goal.

The clock striking 12 at the end of 2020 is not going to guarantee that anything is going to be different in 2021.

You, on the other hand, will be that driving force for change in your life. To expect anything else is a guarantee for disappointment. 

So what can you do now to set yourself up for success? To have this WILD and unprecedented time period be the thing that raises you up?

I’ve spent 10 years trying and failing and tweaking my game plan, and I’m sharing some of these lessons with you today! Tune in to hear the 4 things you need to do to set yourself apart from your competition in the new year!

Today’s topic is something that I’ve been seeing on repeat from many entrepreneurs in the online space: so many of us are pursuing popularity and measuring our success against this. 

Success is not built on the back of popularity, and the way to gauge success and to achieve success is to not set your sights on popularity.

When you are basing your moves, your offers, your strategies on what’s happening externally, versus what’s happening internally, you’re tapping into your ego more than you're tapping into your intuition. And this is guiding you away from your purpose. This is why you feel out of alignment, this is why you keep wondering when something is going to click and take off.

Basing your entire business around what will make you the most money, the most likes, the most followers is senseless. It’s the reason that we are constantly seeking and feeling like we are lacking something. 

So my challenge to you is this: instead of making your business and your growth about popularity, make it about leadership, impact, purpose, whatever is in your heart. 

If you can do this, you will finally gain that traction and momentum and growth that you’re seeking.

The journey to success is not linear and not without many ups and downs. 

When I first heard Tori and Heidi Ganahl’s story, I was so blown away by the adversity they had to overcome to get where they are today. And then I started to wonder if a lot of the adversity they faced was what actually propelled them forward! 

Heidi and Tori have a large background in entrepreneurship, but most recently, they launched a new lifestyle brand called SheFactor, a platform for millennial and Gen Z women craving community, growth, and purpose. Heidi and Tori built SheFactor together to inspire women to become confident, successful leaders of their lives and create the life they love – their “Journey to She”.

I’m excited to introduce these two ladies to all of you today, the first mother-daughter duo on Scaling Up!

If your business outpaces you, eventually you will hit a plateau and you won’t be able to grow at the rate you grew in the beginning.

And the mistake that many people make is in thinking that the next step in their growth is a tactical step, like improving their copywriting or running Facebook ads. But this isn’t necessarily true.

Often, the truth is that they have spent so much time and money and energy on improving their skill set that they have neglected to build up their leadership skills, so even when their business is at a place where it could continue to grow, it can’t because the business owner doesn’t know how to be the CEO of a bigger business!

I invest in my personal growth over business strategies, and this decision has served me time and time again.

Business strategies are so much more attractive because they’re so tactical. It feels so much more productive to walk away from a course with a strategy than to dig deep and start the process of becoming a better leader. 

But you are the best investment you can make in yourself. You are the vehicle to get yourself to where you want to be.

So how are you doing this? How are you investing your time, your money, your energy into YOU?

Today’s topic gets me pumped, because I think it’s one of the most important things an entrepreneur can do for their business! Niching down… 

But more and more I’m seeing entrepreneurs terrified to get specific and niche down:

• “What if it drives away other people?”
• “But I’m multi-passionate!”
• “Well, I want to do a lot of things…”

Okay that’s fine… but do you want to make sales?

Today we’re going deep into going deep. We’re talking about how to nail your niche and drive the bottom line in your business!

This is a must-listen episode with special guest, Cait Scudder. Cait is a TedX speaker and business coach (and a soon-to-be mama!) with a mission to empower one-million driven, bold- hearted women to tap into their genius and create profitable and purpose driven businesses!

I know you, because you’re just like me: You want to find success really, really badly.

But something happens once you work really hard for success and you actually achieve it. 

Many of you are in this place. You’re good at what you do, you’ve served your people well, you have some clout, and you’ve found some success.

Then time passes, and you forget. You forget the sweat equity that you had to put in to get to where you are today; the time it took, the tears you cried, the failures that it took to reach a new height. 

And this forgetfulness makes you feel a little bit more entitled to new levels of success. You’ve done this before and feel like it should be easier this time, but it’s not necessarily.

New level, new devil.

New levels of work and effort and pushing for this new goal.

So yes, you’ve grown and you’ve evolved, you can handle things better and you might even make less mistakes along the way, but there are new dues that still have to be paid.

We all want to feel confident.

We want to feel confident in our craft, confident in how we show up, confident among our peers…

Confidence seems to come naturally to some people, and to others it can feel almost unattainable. But I can assure you that even the most confident in appearance among us have struggled with insecurity and down and low self-confidence. 

If you find yourself in a situation where you are struggling to feel confident, what can you do to improve it?

We need to be able to set our ego aside and step into a place of curiosity and openness to learning. Doubt is simply an indicator that there is space for you to learn and grow, so embrace it.

The more support and training you get, and the more action you take, the more confident you will become.

So when doubt creeps in (and it will!), seek to learn and grow. Seek to identify your weaknesses and improve.
