I’ve seen many entrepreneurs make poor decisions for their business that cost them dearly. Every time a rash or incorrect decision is made, it means wasted time, energy, and money. These are precious resources that, as a CEO, you don’t want to lose out on.

That’s why this episode revolves around how you can make sound business decisions and stay on track. I have a lot of experience with this, and I want to share my story of when I was making poor decisions, what it cost me, and how I came out on the other side.

Here are the things I talk about on this episode:

• My Experience With Poor Business Decisions 
• Spaciousness to Empower Better Decision Making 
• Spaciousness for Streamlined Growth

You need to build out solid components of your business strategically and steadily, allowing yourself to grow in a way that feels aligned with your vision and impact. Having an abundance of spaciousness means that you’ll be able to make decisions with confidence that will propel your business towards the impact, success, and alignment you dream of.

The top priority in my business is getting you the results you want to see in your own business. And I know from my own experience that you strive for more freedom and the ability to stop being bogged down by the day-to-day tasks of your business. The most effective way I’ve found to do that is by hiring, training, and installing a project manager into your business.

In this episode, I’m discussing all the details of our two project manager accelerator programs. Here, I fill you in on all the phases they work through, how they can be effective in your business, and the options for working together to make your project manager work for your unique situation. 

Here are the things I talk about on this episode:

• Why Install a Project Manager?
• The Preface Phase
• The Project and Build Out Phase
• The Day-to-Day Phase
• The Hand-Off Phase

There are so many things a project manager can do to take things off your plate, allowing you to channel your time and energy into your impact and expanding your vision. Having this spaciousness is irreplaceable, and I know that you’ll never regret investing in that ability for yourself and your business.

I’ve hired many online business managers in my day and I’ve come to see some things that are worrisome about them. Because I want your business to scale in an incredible way, for you to achieve the freedom you desire, and to spend your resources in the best possible way, I’m laying out those observations in this episode of the podcast.

When you’re setting out to reach the seven-figure earning mark in your business, you need the help of an operational wizard that has the ability to help you effectively scale. Many online business managers simply don’t have experience doing that, and they might even confuse their experience marketing with their experience driving growth.

Here are the things I dive into on this episode:

• The Cost of an Online Business Manager 
• Ensuring They’re Experienced in Scalability 
• Limitations of Online Business Managers to Be Aware Of
• Must-Have Abilities of an Operations Manager or Business Manager

If you’re thinking of hiring an online business manager, need someone to help you scale and remove yourself from the day-to-day of your business, or have hired a failed online business manager in the past - this is the episode for you! Tune in to hear all the details.

I’ve worked with a lot of CEOs, and I’ve noticed six common habits that prohibit these visionaries from reaching the seven-figure earning mark in their business. I’m explaining these habits in the latest episode of the podcast.

Not reaching the seven-figure mark isn’t all about money, either. It also means a lessened impact, less spaciousness to think and grow, and less freedom in your life overall as a CEO. That’s why it’s important to know these habits, evaluate if you participate in them, and then decipher how you can break free of them.

Here are the six habits I discuss:

• Lack of Delegation
• No Time to Think Strategically 
• A Lack of Bandwidth
• Low to No Profit Margin 
• A Refusal to Hand Off Tasks
• Not Trusting the Team

If you listen to this episode and think to yourself, “I’m definitely guilty of doing at least some of these things as a CEO,” have no fear! My team and I are here to help, and it’s my hope that this episode inspires you to get that help where you need it.

I’m currently coming to you with this episode from Sweden, as my husband and I are enjoying our summer here - away from the Texas summer heat. Because of my ability to split my time between the U.S. and Europe yet still run a successful business, many people ask me, “how do you do it?”

In this episode, I’m answering that question! And beyond that, I’m letting you know how you can have the same freedom and spaciousness. You deserve it, Visionary!

Here’s what your business needs to allow for this level of freedom:

• Add Recurring Income to Your Business 
• Ensure Your Business is Highly Profitable 
• Limit Your Involvement in the Day-to-Day of Your Business
• Develop a Self-Managing Team 
• Have a Project Manager Run the Show
• Have Excellent Communication Between Yourself and Your Team

I hope this episode inspires you to make the changes you need to in your business to achieve this level of flexibility and spaciousness. It may seem like a tall task - but I promise you, it’s entirely doable!

Many years ago, my business operated a lot differently than it does today. One of the biggest changes between then and now is that now, I have a completely virtual team. In fact, many of my employees are based overseas in the Philippines. My journey to this way of operating is what I’m talking about in today’s episode.

The path I took to this is maybe not one you’d expect. I approached it at a time when I was struggling through a time of economic downturn and a loss of profit margin. But what it’s led to is so much bigger than just financial stability and success, which is why I felt compelled to share.

Here’s what I go into in this episode:

·        The Issues With My In-Person Team

·        Reaching My Payroll Breaking Point

·        The Capabilities of an Outsourced Team

·        My Current Virtual Team

I hope that this episode opens your eyes to the many benefits of a remote team and what it can do for you and your business. I can honestly say that having a remote team was one of the best decisions I ever made for my business, and I’m so grateful for all that it’s brought me today.

Business mentors can make such a huge difference in our lives and work, and I’m a first-hand example of that. My mentor Lenny Coco is someone I met at the beginning of my career, and the things he taught me are still with me to this day: 35 years later! One of those lessons is the topic for today’s episode: the art of acknowledgment.

Employees crave recognition, but very few CEOs are actually awarding it. Why is that? Doing this costs your business nothing and can have endless benefits, so it’s really a missed opportunity for the 65 percent of business owners that aren’t providing those words of affirmation.

Here’s what I go into in this episode:

• My Relationship with Lenny 
• The Importance of Acknowledgement 
• The Numbers Behind Acknowledgement
• Building a Strong Business Culture

It’s my hope that hearing the stats behind the importance of recognition and understanding the easy ways of implementing can help you to make positive changes not only in your business as a whole but in your company culture and the level of team spirit that’s present. Just a few small efforts can go a long way when it comes to acknowledging all the good your employees do!

I’ve encountered many CEOs that are constantly frustrated and end up micro-managing their team. The thing is - I know why this happens. I’ll let you in on the secret: it’s because they’re not fulfilling their true role as a CEO. That’s what I want to talk about in this episode because it’s so important that these roles are carried out properly in order to really let your business soar.

Without properly carrying out your responsibilities as a CEO, you won’t be able to do what you really want to do: have a self-managing team and bring in an operations manager that can run the business on your behalf. But when you do step into your role fully, you can say hello to the spaciousness you crave.

Here’s exactly what I discuss in this episode:

• Frustration & Micromanaging 
• Getting Clear on Your Vision as CEO
• Keeping Your Team Accountable
• A Team to Build Out SOPs
• Bringing in An Ops Manager

Hopefully this run-down of what a CEO is really intended to do within their business will help you to step into your role to its full potential and allow your team to shine in what they do in the process.

Holding your team accountable may not be something you’re in the habit of doing, but it should be. Stepping into this habit will do amazing things for you as a CEO, will make your team happier, and will help grow your business. Yes, it’s that powerful! That’s why it’s the topic of conversation in today’s episode.

Many CEOs are tempted to just hire a project manager to come in and create rules and guidelines, then hold teams accountable to them. But let me tell you something - that doesn’t work. Eventually, they’ll undermine your business and end up leaving, which will create an even bigger mess than what you started with. But don’t worry - I can help you hold your team accountable successfully.

Here’s exactly what I discuss in this episode:

• Can You Hire Someone to Hold Your Team Accountable?
• The Importance of Rules & Regulations
• Striving for a Strong Culture
• Empowering Your Team Through Accountability

After you listen to this episode, I hope you’re inspired to work on instilling more accountability for your team so that you can reap the many benefits that come along with that.

Are you ready for a peek behind the curtain? In today’s episode, I go behind the scenes of what it was like to build my own team. This wasn’t always smooth sailing, and I learned so much throughout the process. That’s what I want to share with you today.

Where I was then and where I am now are two totally different places, and while I’m much happier now — I am better for the lessons I took away from my growing pains. From being a bad boss and a micromanager to having an empowered team of experts, I want you to skip the growing pains and go right to the freedom that having a strong team provides.

Here’s exactly what I discuss:

• Overcoming the Tendency to Micromanage
• Building a Strong Team
• Empowering My Team to Be Self-Managing
• Eliminating Myself as the Bottleneck

I hope that this account helps you understand why it’s so important to build a strong and self-managing team for your own business. I know that it seems like an intimidating process, but with the help of me and my team, it’s completely feasible and you’ll be SO happy once you have what I do in your team.
