I see this happen all of the time. 

Hell, I experienced it first-hand myself -- you’re a few years into the business and find yourself busy all of the time. You become a professional whack-a-mole player and an expert fire-putter-outer. 

You want to scale your business and increase your revenue, but you’re too damn exhausted to even think about it!

My guest today, Jennifer Dopazo, is going to talk about creating passive income (the TOP way, in fact!) in a way that doesn’t leave you feeling depleted - but instead reignites your spark.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Advice to entrepreneurs who find the thought of ‘niching down’ scary
• How processes develop confidence 
• The importance of evaluating and testing what you ‘should’ be doing as an entrepreneur
• Why it’s okay to grow apart from clients  
• What is passive income and some important questions to ask yourself when creating your own passive income stream? 
• Recommendations to people who are struggling with a passive income idea
• Why does Jennifer believe membership sites are the top source of passive income?
• The steps people can take to launch a membership site as well as ongoing maintenance tips for membership sites

Jennifer is the owner of multimedia design studio Candelita and a 3-time American Graphic Design Award winner.

Like many entrepreneurs, Jennifer got caught up in the never-ending list of all the things that a good business owner “should” be doing -- setting up passive income sources, following experts’ latest marketing advice, and blogging weekly.

But the more she followed someone else’s blueprint, the more she lost touch with the passion and creativity that fueled her design business. 

It wasn’t until she started interviewing creative entrepreneurs for her web series passion-project that she realized there's more than one way to build a successful business!

We all have the same 24 hours in a day, yet some people seem to get a whole lot more done than the rest of us.

So why is it that some people seem to be so much more productive?

The answer: we’re used to being distracted (and it’s sometimes the smallest distractions that catch our attention!)

Today's Powerback™ lesson is about implementing the following three time-saving hacks into your life:

1. Turn off the notifications on your phone
2. Close the email app on your computer, laptop, or iPad
3. Close your social media

This will not only give you back your time. But it will also allow you to be more efficient with your time, allow you to be more creative, as well as stay in your zone of genius for longer.

So the overarching Powerback™ lesson today is ‘if it dings and bings turn that shit off!’

We all have the same 24 hours in a day – so why do some people seem to be so much more productive than others? 

Why are they getting ahead and you still feel like you’re spinning your wheels with the same to-do list each week?

Time is one of the biggest challenges – or dare I say excuses – we face as ambitious entrepreneurs. 

Today we’re going to talk about increasing your focus while limiting your distractions so you can monetize your passion with Sade Jones, owner of The Fire Inside.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Sade walks us through her entrepreneurial journey
• How personal development helped Sade lean in to her business
• A quote by Dean Graziosi that helped Sade overcome a fear that was holding her back
• What is the golden hour and how does someone evaluate their golden hour?
• Why it’s really important to stop working when you’re done working
• Recommendations on how to break the ‘productivity hustle’
• How to manage your time if you don’t like time blocking
• What are some top killers of time and productivity and how to combat these distractions?
• How to become stronger than your excuses
• Do you truly save time by multitasking?

Sade is a New Yorker who resides in Atlanta. She's a former advertising professional who left corporate life to become a full-time Time Management Coach and Content Creator. 

She helps ambitious people manage their time more efficiently, so they can pursue and monetize their passions, navigate their wellness as well as personal development. Her mission is to empower others to find time to pursue what sets their soul on fire.

This week’s Powerback™ is all about shifting those thoughts, those feelings, and those narratives that play over and over in your head.

And this first begins with awareness.

For the next 24 hours, or the 16 hours that you’re awake, I want you to recognize every single time you say something negative about yourself - you can say them out loud or you can write them down.

Then I want you to take your Powerback™ by changing these narratives:

• Is it true that you’re ugly? (NO!)
• Is it true that you suck at business? (HECK NO!)
• Is it true that everyone else is so much further ahead than you, so that means you’re a failure? (ABSOLUTELY NOT!)

When you have these negative conversations with yourself,  you’re hindering your ability to step fully, authentically and audaciously into exactly who you are meant to be.

You’re blocking yourself!

So remember, what you say to yourself really does matter because even though these words are silent, they can be so fucking loud - and that alone is power!

I think we can all agree that the past year has had its profound challenges, but here we are, moving forward, running our businesses, caring for our families. 

Let this be a reminder that you CAN do hard things, and you have a 100% success rate of surviving even your worst days.

We’re kicking things off this month with a popular and necessary topic – health. 

But not just the “eat more veggies'' kind of health. I’m talking about the fullness of growing a healthy mind, body, and business. Because if one of those things is off, so is everything else. 

I brought in an incredible expert to help us in today’s episode, and her name is Dr Lindsey Elmore.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• In light of the pandemic, what does Lindsey believe is the downfall of allopathic medicine?
• How to create a healthier lifestyle by crafting, what Lindsey calls, ‘upstream solutions’
• Three steps to creating lasting change
• The importance of talking to yourself with love and kindness
• Why gratitude is so important and a great tip on how to start your gratitude journey
• Advice on creating healthier routines that stick
• Why things tend to fall into place when you eat correctly and with intention
• Recommendations to female business owners on how to keep their mind, body and business in check

Dr Lindsey Elmore is a pharmacist, natural wellness expert, vegan cook, yogi, podcast host, and business strategy coach. She is a speaker, author, and world-renowned wellness expert who translates complicated science into understandable stories - and travels the world educating audiences about natural wellness.

Have you ever felt stuck in the pursuit of your passion? 

Then to make things worse, you come across other people who are seemingly fucking killing!

This then leads to negative self-talk like:

• I’m not good enough
• I’m not there yet
• I’ll never be there
• Why am I even doing this?

Well this week, I want you to really identify those areas where you're like, ‘Dammit, she's killing it. And I'm not.’ 

Then take your PowerbackTM by reaching out to those women and say, ‘Go you. Congratulations. I am so excited to watch you grow.’

Now you might be thinking, ‘But Laura, why on earth would I do this?’

Well, for a couple of reasons:

1. Energy out is energy in
2. Someone else winning is just proof that you can too!

Remember, this is not about the comparison game. It's about the celebration game!

You have a hobby that you’re passionate about and dream about taking it full-time, but where do you even begin?

Is this a feasible lifestyle or a wild daydream? 

Today we’re going to talk about taking your passion from a hobby to your career and to do that, I have bestselling author, Sariah Wilson. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What inspired Sariah to write a novel
• How to navigate naysayers when pursuing your dream
• Why you should just ask for something if you really want it
• The importance of finding your tribe and the people who love what you do
• Why staying true to who you are really matters when following your dream
• Helpful recommendations for aspiring writers wanting to start their careers
• Motivation to get you through the moments when you feel like quitting on your dream
• Why you limit yourself when you believe that someone else's success will take away from your own success
• Sariah shares her UNBELIEVABLE love story with us (and a little love advice too!)

A passionate believer in happily-ever-afters, Sariah and her own soulmate live in Utah with their four children and the two family cats. 

Her belief in true love has inspired several bestselling romance series, including End of the Line; Lovestruck; Ugly Stepsisters, Royals of Monterra, and many standalone novels.

She has repeatedly hit Amazon's overall Top 100 (both in and outside the USA) and been a #1 bestseller on Amazon category lists multiple times. Her books have been featured in USA TODAY, GLAMOUR and GLAMOUR UK.

So often we have this death grip on our lives - this mental death grip that blocks us from receiving and allowing all kinds of blessings.

What do I mean by death grip?

When we hold onto an idea, feeling or decision so tightly that we do not allow our gut and intuition to lead the way.

This week I want to encourage you to take your Powerback™ by releasing some of these death grips that you have on your: 

• Life
• Business
• Relationships
• Even your money

Release that shit! 

Because when you do, you step into a place of allowing.

You allow your energy to be spent on more important things. You allow yourself to make decisions from a much calmer place. 

And this is when your creativity will literally fly through the roof!

We’re in the well-known month of love, so it’s only fitting to talk about love in all aspects – love for yourself, your partner, your business, and your life. 

The power of love is so strong – energy out is always energy in.

Today we’re going to learn how the most successful female business owners and entrepreneurs do LOVE and it might not be what you think. So naturally, I brought in the beautiful LOVE expert, Daniella Astor.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What led Daniella to become a love coach?
• The concept ‘more is more’ and how it applies to love.
• How female entrepreneurs can nurture a relationship with a man who is NOT an entrepreneur.
• Why your partner does NOT also need to be your mentor.
• The importance of loving yourself first.
• Why faith plays such a vital role in finding love.
• How to release the death grip on love.
• What is the ‘I get to just be’ technique and how can female entrepreneurs practice it?
• Tips and tricks on how to step into confidence, trust and ease in every part of your life.

Daniella is a love coach for the highest achieving women who want to find LOVE.

She’s also the creator and founder of LOVE IQ, a yearlong mastermind that guides you through the Mind of Love Method, so you can amplify your success, power and riches by adding LOVE to the equation.

Her clients attract extraordinary men, get engaged and married, and have the most delicious babies… all because they had the courage to demand MORE LOVE out of life.

Do dream clients really exist? Like are they out there? 

Yes, they are. But we often end up blocking them unintentionally - it's subconscious and it's in the way we’re showing up.

We often give our power away by:

• Lowering our prices. 
• Changing our services.
• Saying yes to whatever our clients want us to do and to be.

But this is a power leak. It’s where our energy is getting completely sucked out the door.

This week I want you to take your Powerback™ by starting to set your own boundaries. And not just in your pricing! 

• In your time and energy. 
• In your efforts and services. 
• What you will and will not do in your business. 

Now yes, some clients may start to fall away and yes it's scary at first. But hold on through those rocky times people. 

When you show up EXACTLY who you know you can be, that’s when you raise your vibration level. 

And that’s when you attract the right clients and raise your financial bar.
