In this solo episode of coffee chat (Whitney is on a work retreat), I want to quickly share a super fun visualization exercise I did with my clients a couple of weeks ago. The purpose of this exercise is to help you focus on what you want for the year 2022. I explain how to sift through all the noise to picture what it is that you want for 2022 and how you can work towards fulfilling that goal.

While running a business can feel immensely rewarding, it can also feel isolated and alone. As we look towards the New Year, it’s important to talk about productivity, strategy and confidence, but it’s also nice to hear from other business owners who understand the struggle of trying to build a business, following your dreams and balancing a personal life on the side.    In this episode we talk to Holly Marie Haynes. She's a business strategist and a productivity coach who teaches women how to build a full time business on a part time schedule.   During our conversation, Holly shares how she was able to run a full time business while being a mother to twins. Together, we speak candidly about how we got our businesses off the ground, the lessons we learned along the way and what's on the docket for us in 2022.    In this episode, we cover:  

• Whitney and Holly share more about themselves and how they got started in their business [2:18]
• The impact your own business has on yourself and others and the secret formula to a successful business [7:22]
• Streamlining success through proper scheduling and planning [14:46]
• Holly and Whitney share their best advice for people starting up a business [17:43]
• The plans for 2022 and how to get your dreams started [23:47]
• Current morning routine [33:27]

So here we are in December- the end of the year and that time of year where everybody is in two schools of thought:  serious reflection mode or in serious burn it all down and all start over mode. As humans, we love working in extremes but trust us when we say there is a middle ground!   In this episode of coffee chat, we discuss why making plans is good, but as a growing and changing person, your plans are bound to change!  During our conversation we explore why holding yourself to a previous plan does not serve you, why you should lean into how you truly feel, and why having a plan is okay, but it needs to work for you!   In this episode, we cover:

• The end of the year where everyone is trying to reflect and reorient themselves [2:24]
• Trust that plans change, and trust in yourself to handle that [4:37]
• Your plans should make you feel empowered not stuck [5:38]
• Olivia and Whitney share how they approach plans [7:03]
• Be gracious to yourself and know that you will grow [10:15]
