Jim's friend, Ashley North asked this question on Facebook: "True or false: We empower our children to navigate peer pressure by teaching their identity, not teaching them right from wrong. Why or why not?"

What an awesome question - that deserves an awesome answer. In this episode Jim's going to explain 3 concentric circles: Identity, Ability, and Productivity and how we fool ourselves into thinking that we operate OUTSIDE IN when in reality it's our central IDENTITY that informs everything we do from the inside out.

In this episode, Jim interviews Crystal Tenpenny - the co-founder and CEO of Teamotions: A Tea Company for Emotional Well Being.  Crystal and her sister liked tea, but they didn't know anything about it. Listen to hear how a single conversation between them started a business in an industry they knew nothing about! You don't have to be an expert to start a business - you just have to be curious and willing to learn. Hear how Crystal just kept taking the next step and doing the next thing - never really knowing what the whole journey would look like.

Have you ever noticed that we're so quick to change our approach and perfect things that don't really matter? Like if you mess up the bread, you're gonna figure out what you did wrong, and you won't make that mistake again. If you try that puzzle piece in the wrong place, you'll put it aside and pick up a different one. But when things REALLY matter - like our relationships, and finances, and business...we tend to stick to what's comfortable and we rarely change our approach. In this episode, Jamie is going to break down practically HOW to take responsibility for your results and to identify when changes need to be made. http://www.powerpartnerscoaching.com
