  • HB45: Kathleen Ventura – Finding the Right Business Coach

    .

    Such a fun episode this week!

    Kathleen is so full of life, love and energy – you are going to LOVE it. The topic is how to find the perfect business coach for you, and as one herself, Kathleen has some spot-on insights that are sure to help you through this important decision.

    Join us today as we discuss finding a good one, when you should (and shouldn’t) hire one, and how long you should meet for. And at the end, we dive into some foodie/lifestyle discussion that helped finish up the show with a breath of fresh air!

    WHAT WE COVER IN TODAY’S EPISODE
    The Key to Discovering the Perfect Fit

    Start paying attention where you hang out. Keep a lookout in Facebook Groups and listen to who your friends are talking about. Following the scent towards the right person for you is the most natural and direct way to do it.

    Deciding on the right person

    Most coaches offer a ‘Discovery Call’ before you book a package with them. Make sure to ask if they can actually coach you during that call.

    If they require a one-off call, do it, because you’ll get a sense of how you’ll work together on a more personal level.

    What to look for

    A good coach will help you create clear concise measurable objectives & specific strategies to achieve those. Here are a couple examples of clear objectives…

    • Be featured on 5 major media publications this year
    • Bring on 6 private clients before June
    • When you should hire one

      When is a good time for a beginner entrepreneur to hire a coach?

      …before you even invest in a website! A coach will help you identify what’s important to you. A coach needs to meet you where you are, and will help you craft a comfortable approach. IE, maybe you don’t even want to be on Facebook, or on video?

      When you shouldn’t

      Not if you’re hoping they’re going to be the answer to all your problems. They aren’t going to ‘change your world’ without your effort. Your problems won’t vanish without you putting in the work.

      Coaches are also good when you’re on the upswing, even if you’re already having success. The right fit for you will help amplify your results.

      How long should you meet for?

      It really depends where you’re at with your business. It could be 1 session or even 6 months. Sometimes 3 months isn’t enough if you’re just starting to hit your stride though.

      The faster you’re willing to do the work and implement the actions, the quicker you’ll see the payoff.

      Links to Resources we mentioned

    • HB44: Trying to Eat Healthy? (where to start)

      .

      Hey Guys!

      If you’re just getting started with healthy eating, or are trying to get healthy and need some guidance, this episode is going to be a huge help.

      Today we’re talking about easy diet upgrades and healthier alternatives you can switch to. We’re also going to into dive foods to eat more of AND which ones you should avoid the most. Finally, we’re covering which equipment you should & shouldn’t upgrade right away, and we’ve also got some bonus tips on where you might struggle.

      If you need a little extra help, Sarah is also offering 20min Q&A Sessions to help provide more specific help. Click Here to Schedule >>

      WHAT WE COVER IN TODAY’S EPISODE
      Look at your current diet (what can you improve? What is lacking?)
      • Rather than cutting out, try switching to healthier alternatives
        • Fruit smoothies to Green smoothies
        • Coffee to Green Juice
        • Store bought desserts to homemade low sugar desserts
        • Dessert 4 times per week to 2 times
          • Switching to an entirely new diet doesn’t work
            • Enhancing your current diet is the smartest approach you can take
            • You’re 95% more likely to stick with it, because it’s basically the same
            • Focus on little upgrades, one at a time
            • Foods everyone could add more of
              • Greens
                • Lettuces, hardy varieties, bitter varieties, local varieties
                • Water
                  • H2O + vegetables like cucumbers and fruits like tomatoes
                  • Seeds
                    • Easier to digest than nuts, but also have lots of protein
                    • Sweet Potatoes
                      • Filling, low glycemic, delicious, versatile
                      • Superfoods
                        • Cacao, ginger, turmeric + black pepper, green tea + 1,000 others
                        • Local Produce
                          • The fresher the better
                          • Foods everyone could eat less of (try to start eliminating these)
                            • Bread
                              • Causes constipation, high calorie to nutrient ratio
                              • Always have pre-cooked grains on-hand like quinoa, brown rice or millet
                              • Grain-free wraps are better and becoming more widely available
                              • Chips
                                • Simple tortilla chips or whole sweet potato chips with minimal ingredients only once a week is a good goal
                                • Energy Bars
                                  • Ultimate ‘health’ convenience food, sugary, processed, most aren’t real food, should only be relied on in a pinch
                                  • Dairy
                                    • Don’t really need it, may work against your health efforts
                                    • Caffeinated Products
                                      • Coffee + energy drinks
                                      • Kick coffee by improving your diet first. Natural, sustainable energy comes from a healthy body
                                      • Sugar
                                        • Sugar is in almost everything these days. Try to reduce your daily sugar as much as possible
                                        • Use the equipment you have before buying new
                                          • Blender
                                            • Yes – use it until it dies, then great a really nice one (the blender we use)
                                            • Food Processor
                                              • No – Not if it’s one of those tiny 2-cup Cuisinart’s from back in the day
                                              • Juicer
                                                • Yes – wait until the motor burns up, then get a nice one (what we recommend)
                                                • Knives
                                                  • No – If you don’t have good knives you need to upgrade ASAP. Bad knives will make you hate cutting stuff up, and that just doesn’t work when eating healthy. Here’s a simple set we’d recommend: http://amzn.to/1SwVelL
                                                  • Cutting Boards
                                                    • If you have big ones, even if they’re plastic you should keep them and eventually upgrade to wood ones. If you have small ones, you NEED to get at least 1 big wood one.
                                                    • Where you might struggle
                                                      • Eating Out
                                                        • You can still eat out, be a stickler for ingredients and don’t be afraid to make special requests – the customer is always right, even if you feel like you’re being a nuisance
                                                          • Cravings
                                                            • Good episode for reducing sugar: HB08 Mindfulness: How we justify sugar
                                                            • Good episode for handling cravings: HB18 Rebound: How to get back on the health wagon
                                                            • Be nice to yourself
                                                            • Always plan your food and know when you’ll need a snack. Getting hungry is a vulnerability for cravings and impulse eating, so you’re standards won’t be as high
                                                            • Drink water before eating if you don’t believe you should be feeling hungry – otherwise go for a healthy snack
                                                            • Don’t eat dinner TOO early, otherwise you’ll want to eat a ‘feel good’ snack after a hard day’s work
                                                              • Friends/Family
                                                                • Lot’s of pressure here
                                                                • Good resource for getting your friends & family on-board
                                                                • Cook for them, Cook with them, Shop with them & Impress them
                                                                • It’s okay to say no. This is your life and you need to take care of you
                                                                • Watch out for defensiveness, it’s inevitable

                                                                  Being an entrepreneur is tiring… Especially on your emotions. One minute you’re up – feeling on top of the world. The next minute, you’re down – feeling like no one’s interested in your products or services.  And this can literally continue for the entire day, making you feel like you’re a little bit CRAZY!

                                                                  “What’s wrong with me?!” …  You may have said to yourself, we sure have.

                                                                        We’ve got a juicy podcast for you today and want to help you get your partner into the kitchen! Not only is it a great way for the two of you to bond (hello relationship builder), but it will save you a lot of time.

                                                                        We also have a little challenge for you, we want you and your spouse to set aside some time this week to make our super simple pho recipe, and then snap a picture of the process or the final product.

                                                                        Why cooking with your spouse is so wonderful
                                                                        • Bonding – use the time spent in the kitchen to connect and work together as a team.
                                                                        • Saves Time – 4 hands work a lot faster than 2.
                                                                        • Unwind – turn on some music and use cooking dinner as a time to relax and update each other on your day.
                                                                        • Get Healthy – making dinner is always healthier than eating out. It’s a great way to get strong and healthy together.
                                                                        • How to make it work
                                                                          • Figure out who’s best at what?
                                                                            • Who can multi-task ?
                                                                            • Who will be a better lead ?
                                                                            • Who will be a better assistant ?
                                                                            • Just Get Started
                                                                              • Maybe you don’t know who’s best at what; take your best shot and the roles will come with time.
                                                                              • Have a plan
                                                                                • Get a recipe – don’t try to get your spouse cooking with no plan. Have a recipe or at least one in mind when going into it.
                                                                                • Make sure you have all the ingredients – plan ahead of time and do some shopping if you need to.
                                                                                • Set a timer for when you need to start dinner – it’s easy to get caught up in your work, so we suggest having a time agreed upon for when you’re going to start dinner together.
                                                                                • Where you might struggle
                                                                                  • Getting your spouse to help – maybe offer them something in return for their help.  How can you persuade them to get cooking – maybe a back massage, or offer to make them a sweet treat?
                                                                                  • Cooking in a small kitchen – make the best of it, sometimes you just have to smile and laugh it off.
                                                                                  • Disagreeing about something/ kitchen arguments –  If you get into an argument, maybe someone needs to take a little break and then come back to the kitchen.
                                                                                  • When recipes don’t turn out – remember it’s nobody’s fault. And try not to take it personal. Also remember you won’t starve, you may end up having cereal and smoothies for dinner, but it happens.  If the recipe isn’t totally awful, figure out what could make it better or what you would do differently next time you try it.
                                                                                  • DISHES – Whoever does most of the cooking shouldn’t be responsible for all the dishes.  However, at the end of the day, no one wants to feel like they’re doing all of the work. So help each other out when you can. Don’t leave your partner in the kitchen alone;)
                                                                                  • YOUR PHO RECIPE + SHOPPING LIST

                                                                                    I’m super excited for today’s show because we have the wonderful Cassy Berthiaume on the podcast. If you don’t know Cassy, you are missing out.

                                                                                    Cassy is a web designer and a mentor for non-geeky entrepreneurs. She has always designed websites and been a geek, but it was only in July 2015 that she decided to turn her passion into a career. Since then, she left her ”normal” job and is now working with people from all over the globe.

                                                                                    She especially loves connecting with female entrepreneurs who are struggling to get their businesses online with techie ease – she wears the nerdy glasses for them. She’s also a French Canadian, a singer-songwriter and a proud mother of two beautiful dogs.

                                                                                    I met Cassy inside a Facebook group and knew I had to meet her. She’s super nice, down to earth and really talented!

                                                                                                  We have a great show lined up for you today, discussing everything that’s inspiring in our lives right now – particularly books & podcasts. We had a listener ask us what lights our fires and this is what we came up with.

                                                                                                  It’s so important to feed your creativity and nurture your interests. Hopefully today’s show (and the detailed list below) will help provide you with some much needed inspiration as well :)

                                                                                                  Inspiring Books & Magazines

                                                                                                  The Magic of Thinking Big – both Sarah AND Peter put this book on their list. It’s a little retro but it’s a great book to expand your perception. It has a great table of contents and you can almost hear his voice when you read it. Tim Ferriss is also a big fan.

                                                                                                  The Miracle Morning – written by Hal Elrod, this is a wonderful book to inspire you when feeling down. He’s got a great story and also inspired a whole podcast we did (HB02: Why You Should Start Waking Up Earlier). This book has helped us get fired up first thing in the morning and ready to take on your day.

                                                                                                  The Dip – written by Seth Godin, this book helps you put the ‘entrepreneur roller coaster’ into perspective. It’s “A Little Book That Teaches You When To Quit (and when to stick)”. Sometimes your thing or service doesn’t take off, and this provides an insightful look at that. Both Sarah & Peter have both read it, it’s straight-forward, no BS, straight up helpful.

                                                                                                  Healing Back Pain: The Mind Body Connection – a lot of us entrepreneurs suffer from back pain due to sitting all day, and this book is helpful to understand why it may not seem to get better as quickly as you’d like. The author says most of all back pain is due to repressed emotions rather than the actual structural problems often pointed out by health professionals.

                                                                                                  Homestead – a memoir Peter recently read about a couple who build a homestead way out in the middle of Oregon. It’s older and doesn’t have a lot of reviews. Peter actually bought it at a 2nd hand bookstore on a whim – it looked interesting. He loves to be outdoors and wishes to have a cabin out in the wilderness one day.

                                                                                                  Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow – a book Sarah read about 18 months ago. It’s a memoir with a lot of different stories showing how we all have difficult times in our lives but when they break us open, we become vulnerable and better people. There’s always a positive outlook in terrible events, and this book is a great way to remember that.

                                                                                                  Backpacker Magazine – Peter’s favorite magazine to help plan for upcoming hiking/camping trips in remote parts of the world. There’s lot of great advice and beautiful pictures.

                                                                                                  Organic Avenue: Recipes for Life, Made with Love – one of Sarah’s favorite cookbooks. Lots of juices, smoothies and overall great inspiration for new recipes and flavor combinations.

                                                                                                  Outside Magazine – everything outdoors for Peter to dream about.

                                                                                                  Backwoods Home Magazine – Peter feels slightly embarrassed about this one, but he loves to learn about living in the wilderness.

                                                                                                  Inspiring Podcasts

                                                                                                  The Smart Passive Income Podcast – big surprise, 2 entrepreneurs who love Pat Flynn and all of his good-natured helpful content! He’s down to earth, always looking for a win-win for himself and his audience and is always sharing someone Else’s story that is super inspiring.

                                                                                                  The Get Paid Podcast – Claire and Val are top of the line. Sarah loves this podcast (Peter hasn’t listened yet..boo) because they always ask questions she’s actually interested in. They waste no time in getting down to the bottom line. There’s no sugar-coating and they have great guests on.

                                                                                                  Achieve Your Goals – this makes the list because Hal gives you no excuses, has a great attitude and is non-stop inspiring.

                                                                                                  One Part Podcast – by Jessica Murnane. Peter originally shared it with Sarah, thinking she’d like, and she said “eh”. Then she listened to it again and totally digs it. Her guests are fresh, questions are great and it’s not just business – which is nice.

                                                                                                  The Tim Ferriss Show – Peter finds this podcast super inspiring. The guests and focus is all over the place, but it’s highly interesting and good for a listen every once in a while.

                                                                                                  The James Altucher Show – not originally on our lists but somehow we got talking about him. James is character, he’s ultra smart, quick witted and not the least bashful. Check it out sometime for some seriously unexpected conversation.

                                                                                                  Thank You

                                                                                                  .

                                                                                                  Being an entrepreneur is hard, and anyone who say’s it’s easy is lying! Building our online business has caused us our fair share of anxiety and panic attacks.

                                                                                                  But, that doesn’t have to be the case – at least not all of the time.

                                                                                                  If you’re looking for help on how to handle anxiety or negative mindset as an entrepreneur, you’re going to love this episode.

                                                                                                  Why do entrepreneurs suffer from anxiety? 

                                                                                                  As an entrepreneur you have a lot on your plate.

                                                                                                  You’re working with clients, creating new programs and you are the boss. You’re personally responsible for bringing in the money, solving the problems and making sure everything runs smoothly…

                                                                                                  Yeah, that can be stressful.

                                                                                                  Why do we tend to think the worst?

                                                                                                  It has a lot to do with our society, and upbringing – along with our ego and negative mental talk.

                                                                                                  Good News: You don’t have to solve your anxiety issue to feel calm and at peace today.  Just like in your business, you can change the story in your head and do things that melt that stress away like butter (vegan butter around here)!

                                                                                                  Recommended Teachings that Ease Stress + Create Positive Shift

                                                                                                  • Exercise – Another wonderful way to clear your mind and move your focus. We love running and yoga for those reasons.

                                                                                                    We’ve got a Short & Sweet episode lined up for you today. We’re talking all about healthy lunches and how to make them happen on a consistent basis. Lunchtime is a struggle for so many of us because we get so caught-up in the am work period, but make the smart choice and plan ahead for it. When you start making healthy lunches a non-negotiable for you, you’ll see dramatic improvements in your afternoon productivity – guaranteed.

                                                                                                    If you need extra help with your lunches, check out our newest resource: The Healthy Lunch Guide for Busy Entrepreneurs which specifically addresses this problem and includes extras like recipes, what to order when eating out, energizing foods and every lunch tip we’ve ever known.

                                                                                                    EPISODE OVERVIEW
                                                                                                    • Why is lunch such a challenge?
                                                                                                      • It’s in the middle of the work-day. We forget to plan ahead and get too wrapped up in our projects. It’s easy to fall into lazy habits like eating out or just snacking through it.
                                                                                                      • How can we simplify it?
                                                                                                        • Find 3-4 healthy recipes and put them on rotation, week after week. This can last you months – just try not to eat them for dinner, otherwise you’ll get tired of them faster. Also try to limit the ingredients in your lunches and try to make them the night before while you’re making dinner – this is a HUGE time saver for us. Finally, try not to make lunches that require a recipe – it’s more complicated and your less likely to actually make it. New recipes are great, just save them for dinnertime :)
                                                                                                        • How to make time for it?
                                                                                                          • Plan for it and mentally prepare for a 30 minute break at 12pm. Try setting 2 alarms to help you wind down from your manic morning, one a half hour before and then one right at your stopping point. Lunch is more important than breakfast in terms of productivity – make sure to eat well and take a break for lunch so you can have a successful afternoon.
                                                                                                          • Why you should skip eating out & How to take charge when you do
                                                                                                            • Pass on eating out as much as possible for peak productivity. Eating heavy, convenience, pre-packaged foods at lunchtime will drain your energy more often than not. Eating out also takes away from your personal break-time, which should be a high priority as there’s often a lot of mental stimulation from the morning work period that should be diffused before heading into the afternoon.

For the dressing she mixes tahini, lemon, miso and garlic. She also makes chickpea crepes, which are done in 10 minutes and are like bean bread. (see recipe links just below)

Today we’re  ending Season 1 of The Health Beet Podcast with some easy health tips to get you feeling energized and healthy through the rest of the year.  We share things you can do before a big meal (like exercise, hydrate, drinking your greens), during the holidays (chew your food, apply the 80/20 Rule)… and after a big meal (like a shot of Aloe Vera Juice, go raw and get back to your routine).

                                                                                                                  We also have a little giveaway going on below + a deal on our healthy lifestyle programs.
