What seeds are you planting today to grow your legacy? Entrepreneurs tend to only consider the financial piece as a marker of growth, but in doing so, they severely limit the scope of who they can become. There are other ways to grow as individuals that will help us to create a legacy both in our businesses and in our lives. This episode is part one of a two-part series all about building your legacy and why it’s critical to your success as a high-performing entrepreneur. 

In this episode, I talk about…..

• How the recent death of a family member forced me to reflect on the value of legacy.
• What it means to start with the end in mind. 
• A key exercise to begin building your own legacy.
• Questions to help keep yourself intentionally aligned with the life you want to live.

In business, the real competition is not with others, but with ourselves. We set goals and dream dreams that are supposed to help us grow. But the problem most entrepreneurs face is that their attachment to those desired outcomes is too strong, creating self-doubt that instead moves them into a lesser version of themselves.

In this episode, I talk about…..

• What attachment is and how it manifests itself.
• What we allow our failures and successes to mean in our lives.
• How to not get stuck in analysis paralysis.
• A recent reminder I was given on what attachment meant for me.
• Hacks for avoiding attachment and instead refocusing on being intentionally aligned.

We all wear many different hats as high-performing entrepreneurs. But sometimes those hats are limiting us from reaching the full potential of who we want to become. One such hat is what I refer to as the “crown of comfort.” Instead of only wearing this crown and remaining in a state of familiarity, we need to opt for a crown of courage in order to avoid stagnation and grow ourselves and our businesses.

In this episode, I talk about…..

• How you can identify and remove the “crown” that’s holding you back from growth.
• What happens when you can finally get outside of your comfort zone.
• What it looked like for me to remove my own crown and how it paved the way to my future self.
• Taking the best parts of who we are with us on our journey forward.
• Five clear steps to start assuming the future version of yourself today.

When there’s a problem, are you looking for ways to evolve, grow and find opportunities? When I was a pilot flying jets, my view of a situation was vastly different based on the altitude at which I was flying. At times I’d be flying low and didn’t have much scope, but if I climbed higher, I’d be able to attain a much broader view. The same is true in our lives and our businesses, and as high-performing entrepreneurs, we have to stop and think critically long enough to obtain that wider perspective. 

In this episode, I talk about…..

• The stories we tell ourselves that might be the highest source of our limitations.
• Pause statements and how they can help us reframe our perspective.
• The key phrases my spouse uses to call me out when I’m being narrow-minded.
• Important steps to follow when moving things from being a problem to being a solution.

Have you ever been told you’re really great at sales? Maybe it’s the opposite! Maybe you’ve actually been told you’re not that good at it. Either way, the ability to influence others in business is the mark of being a high-performing CEO and despite what some may think, it’s actually possible for anyone to achieve. The secret is the ability to wield power and control the frame.

In this episode, I talk about…..

• What “the frame” is and why controlling it is so beneficial.
• Different types of power bases to use in a conversation.
• How I once took control of the frame to dazzle a group of investors.
• Various methods of frame control to utilize when it’s time to take the power back.
