A leader and a manager are two different things, even though they may often be confused. Leaders are people who inspire and motivate others to achieve the goals of the company or organization. They are not necessarily managers, but they can be both simultaneously. However, true leaders cannot only lead and motivate people; they also know what it takes to succeed as a leader. In this episode, we are joined by Darby Vannier, a leader, coach, consultant, and the author of the book: The Indispensable Leader.  Tune in to learn more on this and other exciting topics!

There's a saying that goes, "you can't manage what you don't measure." I believe this is especially true when it comes to your business and your success. The problem is that many of us are self-sabotaging in our businesses without even realizing it. There are things that we do regularly that are holding us back from achieving our goals. We might not even know it, but there are certain things that we do that are sabotaging our success.

In this episode, Shakeena Johnson, podcast host, sheds some light on the ways you could potentially be holding yourself back from growing in your business. She talks about the lack of mindset, charging below the value you provide, trying to serve everyone, and marketing to a large group of people. She explains that the solution is to charge according to the value of your service, have a growth mindset, and niche down to a specific group of people.

Reconnecting to who you truly are is a process, not an event. It's about slowly but surely removing the layers of illusions and distractions that keep us from seeing ourselves clearly. It's also about letting go of stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we're capable of. This can be challenging because many of these stories were formed during childhood when our parents raised us. But if we want to create a fulfilling life, it's important to let those stories go and see how freeing that can be! Today, we are joined by Ervine Fox, a spiritual guide, mentor, and coach who guides leaders and visionaries into their purpose.

Ervine shares some insights on the importance of reconnecting to who you indeed are, the difference it makes in your life, and how it helps us see things clearly. She also talks about the art of assisting others in reconnecting with themselves, the transition to entrepreneurship, and the benefits of celebrating the small wins.
