The Daring Daughters

Dear High Achiever,

I see you. I see you working hard and feeling unsatisfied at every new level.  I see you striving and grinding and pushing for the next thing that will make you feel like the next level is what you need.  I see you wondering who you can share your insecure thoughts to.  Today’s episode is for you.

Today I interview Arvin Anderson who helps high level professionals do the necessary internal work to move to the next level.  The saying that your income will only grow to the extent that you do is incredibly true and Arvin breaks down for you today how he worked through moving to the next level himself and how you can too.

In this episode you will learn:

• How to get to the root of the feeling and problem that is holding you back

• How to tap into self awareness when you are a confident person

• Why being totally honest to others is necessary and who to reach out to for help
  

It’s harder to be confident when you haven’t actually made any money yet.  I have been there.  I totally get it.  Rather than the “fake it ‘till you make it” I have another idea for you.  You can learn how to confidently talk about your business even before you have made any money.  So whether you are just starting out, or have a business that hasn’t made any money - this episode will help you talk confidently about your business. We go over 5 areas in this episode:

1. Learn how to answer,  “What do you do?”

2. How to respond to unsupportive family

3. How to talk about your business at your day job

4. How to craft a pitch for networking events

5.  How to talk to yourself

Mandy began Own It Accounting with a mission: to help solopreneurs break through bureaucracy and make dream profits through minimized taxes, organized accounting, and strategic coaching. She understands how it feels to be overwhelmed by the complexity of the tax code, red tape, and perpetual deadlines and bases her business coaching on the concept “Equity First,” which means that a successful business will focus on its capital structure in addition to profits. 

She wants you to literally OWN your business – retain your earnings, invest in yourself, avoid the risk of unnecessary debt, and pass on a legacy that lasts.  She is also married to a great guy, Rick, and a new mama to a beautiful baby girl. They like to spend free time traveling, skiing, mountain biking, fishing in Northern Minnesota (in the summertime of course!) and enjoying God’s creation.

Jessica Headey Gandolfi helps people to become more conscious in the way they are living. Becoming aware of what is working and not working in their lives allows them to make better choices both personally and financially. She is a full time mum to 14 year old twins, Amelia and Samuel. Author of 'Monkey - Wishes Do Come True', and founder of HarmonyumLA, a private healing practice based in Venice, California.

In this episode we dig deep in healing deep wounds that you are carrying with you from your past and how to move forward.  Jessica explores  how to change thoughts and actions and how the body holds onto past traumas and the importance of working through those and how to work through them to be a more successful and high achieving person. 

Jessica chose entrepreneurship because she came out of a heavy and painful divorce, battling addiction and trying to reignite the light that had gone out inside of her.  Entrepreneurship gave her permission to look at her life through a new lens. The realization that there had to be more. I ask every guest what they would change about their journey and she states,  Nothing. Every experience, every encounter, every lesson, all brought me to where I am now. If I really had to do one thing differently, it would be to forgive more quickly.”

Today on the podcast you will meet relationship experts Aaron and Jocelyn Freeman.  They believe your net worth is equal to your network of quality/influential relationships. 

Aaron & Jocelyn Freeman are authors of The New Power Couple, speakers and sought after relationship coaches. With much excitement, they founded and launched the Empowered Couples University: an online university hosting higher education & personal development for motivated couples to learn relationship skills to be a true team. They have shared the stage with Tony Robbins and "Golden Gavel" Hall-of-Fame speakers, were nominated as Arizona’s 40 Under 40 Influencers, and have been featured in national media for teaching couples modern, practical skills and tools to work together through any life challenge- reaching over 500,000 people around the world. They host one of the top relationship podcasts on iTunes and lead two other thriving companies. They are passionate about training and leading future relationship coaches and have an accredited coaching certification program. Jocelyn & Aaron Freeman are ordained, writing their second book and their vision is to make 'relationship development' the new 'personal development' and to lower the divorce rate in their lifetime.

Aaron and Jocelyn became entrepreneurs because when they got married and saw immediately how they were spending the majority of time at separate jobs. These jobs capped them in the amount of freedom they had and the amount of money they could earn. They also both have stories of past relationship wounds and desired to help people get into better relationships and be more connected and happy in their marriages.

If you could start all over with your entrepreneur journey, what would you do differently?
"Interviewed more couples early on for what their real pain points are and done more live events that produced higher revenue through speaking to sell."

What SPECIFIC NINJA skill did you need to learn or acquire to make money at what you are doing?
"Scheduling in person discovery calls and selling high ticket programs on these early connection calls."

What was the number one mindset shift you had to make in order to believe you could do this?
"Income is not correlated to the amount of time and effort.”
