  • getting some hate? here's 4 tips to grow from it. [160]
    So, let me dive into how I handle all that negativity and hate that can sometimes creeps into the biz journey. It's a real game-changer when you can pinpoint whether it's coming from within you or those external sources. Just recently a client came to me and asked how to handle some real negative vibes from her own family, believe it or not. Can you imagine? I made sure to drive home the point that understanding their perspective doesn't mean you sacrifice your own uniqueness.

    It's not always easy, but I attempt to keep my focus on personal growth and development, reminding myself not to take things personally. AND »» Speaking of growth, I can't stress enough how vital it is to surround yourself with the right people for advice. You know, those go-to folks who've got your back and won't lead you astray. Ahem... I am that person for many and happy to be yours!

    I've def had my fair share of 'haters gonna hate' situation and this podcast episode I share stories (yes, the hate ones) and how I grew from them! 

    So, if you're on this journey and want to ride the wave of negativity to growth, I'm all ears. And hey, let's keep this convo going – catch me on social media, and we'll dive even deeper.

  • are you doing your life's work? with Ivan Amssan [158]

    Ohhhh how I love interviewing incredible humans! I knew from the moment I met Ivan Amssen, I was going to really like him. He wooooed an entire wedding invite list and truly captivated the room -- I mean, second to the bride of course.

    But seriously, Ivan is a good time and is extremely passionate about his life's work, photography. It's real hard to sum him up as JUST a photographer though, take a listen and I think you will understand! 

    The question is, are you doing your life's work? 

    Let's dive in.

  • [top 10] best practices for starting a business. [157]

    Whether you have been in business for a day, 10 months or 10 years -- this episode will surely give you a handful of ideas to implement into your biz today. 

    I've got 10 best practices for starting (or growing) a business, here they are: 

    1. Get SUPER clear on your industry. What is happening and what you are getting yourself into. I referenced the book Believe It by Jamie Kern Lima https://bit.ly/43dzvuJ

    2. Plan. Yep, it's that simple, create a plan. I of course go into more details, but don't overcomplicate this one. One of my most used apps right now is Notion, I've got it linked on my site here: https://www.tenapettis.com/bizfavs/

    3. Find your 5 -- people that is. EPS [058] goes into even more detail: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tena-talks-a-lot/id1418912509?i=1000550147180

    4. Budget. I know, I don't love that word either -- but it's necessary. This Etsy Seller has amazing spreadsheets for tracking, they are pretty and everything! https://www.etsy.com/shop/HayeCreatives?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=1246298340

    5. Unique-ability. I share details of how I have showed up in a few of my past businesses that have set me apart. 

    6. Digital Footprint. Get crystal clear on where you will be and where you will not be. I referenced the software I created my site on, you can find that link on my site: www.tenapettis.com/bizfavs/

    7. Lead Gen. How are you meeting your next customer/client/member? 

    8. Customer Journey. They are here, now what? Develop the path they will take. 

    9. Never stop learning. Oh and be coachable too! 

    10. YOUR WHY. This is a biggie. In this episode I share a bit of a blunder I had surrounding a major why in my biz.

  • a dose of perspective with Mick White. [152]

    Mick White has been in my life for well over 10 years! It's wild to think of where our lives were then and where they are now. In this episode, we go down memory lane a bit but then jump right into some eye opening perspectives. 

    Mick has so many 'writer-downers' in this episode (and honestly whenever I talk to him) that you are going to want to grab a pen + paper. 

    Here are a few of my favorite quotables: 

    "When values are clear, decisions are easy."
    "Do your work and life agree?"
    "Sometimes just showing up is your best."
    "State what you want."
    "The life we live are the lessons we teach."

    You can find Mick here »https://www.100yearmanifesto.com/
    and here » https://www.linkedin.com/in/100yearmanifesto/

    Thanks for listening!

Hi, my name is tena and I talk... a lot. So I figured I may as well put these vocal chords to good use. This isn't my first podcast but it just might be my last. See, my passions are probably not…
