What/Who do you allow to live in your head rent-free? Are you reliving past mistakes or pains over and over? Are you living your life as a middle finger in the air to someone else? Your business is like a seed-- you want to plant it in good soil. Doing it as an act of revenge or spite leads to a lot of trouble for you, not for your enemies. I know it because I've lived it.

Key topics:

✔️ The things you think about show up in your life.
✔️ There's a difference between righteous anger that galvanizes personal or social change versus sitting around plotting revenge on someone else.
✔️ Are you carrying negative comments from years ago? How about leaving those in the dust and moving forward.
✔️ Analyzing a problem can be helpful; ruminative thinking is not.
✔️ Make sure you have a creative or physical outlet to blow off steam.

I am currently running (unfortunately) at a 100% accuracy rate of predicting failure. Maybe it's a blessing, maybe it's a curse, I dunno. I recorded this episode to address signs of trouble that you need to assess immediately. Not tomorrow or next week but right now. Just yesterday, I saw that an almost-client had closed her business and gone back to Corporate America. I don't want that to be you!

Key topics:

✔️ Warning signs that go beyond the obvious.
✔️ You can't operate on a shoestring budget forever; at some point, you have to invest in yourself.
✔️ "Digital mentoring" on YouTube does not a coaching relationship make.
✔️ What we fear we often create.
✔️ Fear of making the "wrong" decision often paralyzes us into taking no action at all.

My guest on today's episode is Micky Kerwick, a highly talented Corporate Training Developer who specializes in saving time and money for businesses by revamping their training materials and improving their employee engagement strategies. If you have Zoom fatigue or you're concerned about your company's meeting culture, this is the episode for you.

Key topics we cover:

✔️ How do your corporate culture and your meeting culture intersect with each other? It's one thing to tout corporate values with a sign on the wall-- it's different to actually live those values in practice.
✔️ Communication is key! Have you asked your team how they prefer to interact?
✔️ Maybe your team does not want virtual happy hours or a "let's meet everyone's dog on Zoom today" forced socializing. (Just sayin'. I know I never did.)
✔️ Micromanagement and death by incessant meetings = not the answer. Neither is suppressing creativity or pushing for groupthink. 
✔️ If you can, schedule your necessary calls when you are fresh and have the energy for them.

In the same way that employees can live paycheck to paycheck, business owners and entrepreneurs can live check to check or client to client. In this episode, I want to ask you: do you know you could survive?

Key topics:

✔️ Is your business built around only one revenue stream? Or have you built an entire business around a platform you do not own or control?
✔️ Do you have any passive revenue or investments to fall back on?
✔️ I hate to break it to you: but censorship is likely the wave of the future.
✔️ Internal security versus external security.
✔️ Starting over and knowing you can succeed.
✔️ Stubbornness and consistency are not the same thing!

My guest on today's episode is Tami Crea, the co-owner of Launches Made Simple, a done-for-you marketing company that bridges the gap between coaches that are promoting their programs and the high ticket salespeople that are closing the sales (even if that closer is the business owner). If you're overwhelmed by all of the clutter and noise out there about what to do and not to do with FB ads, this is definitely the episode for you!

Key topics we cover:

✔️ Tami's own business experience and what led her to Facebook.
✔️ Her experimentation process and how she earned her stripes as an expert.
✔️ Are you a coach or consultant with low ticket offerings? You might be better throwing your money in the trash!
✔️ Sadly, if you don't know what you're doing, you can waste a lot of money on ads that do not convert-- and you won't even know why that's the case. :(
✔️ Who are Tami's ideal clients and why.

One of the most popular blog posts on my website to date is "It's OK To Have a Different Path." That's not surprising to me because I think a lot of people are hungry for authenticity and the space in life to be themselves. 

Key topics:

✔️ Don't allow someone else to convince you everything in life is difficult and costly.
✔️ Perfect is the enemy of good. Sometimes in life, you just need to take the first step and get started!
✔️ I always revisit the words of Pete Leffkowitz: watch what the crowd is doing and move in the opposite direction.
✔️ My LinkedIn feed remains clogged with pre-recorded Zoom calls and video interviews. Why not do something different than the herd?
✔️ The ultimate decider is: does this generate revenue for my company?
