  • Legacy Episode: One-Person Powerhouse: Solopreneur Strategies, Secrets, and Survival Guide with Alfred Mesquiti & Laura Ruiz-Roehrs

    This episode was inspired by an in person panel the three of us were preparing for: One-Person Powerhouse: Solopreneur Strategies, Secrets, and Survival Guide. During our prep we knew our panel was only 30 minutes plus Q&A and we had more stories to tell, so we decided to record an episode! 

    This was such a fun episode to record and we talked about the definition of Solopreneur, value alignment, entrepreneurship as an affiliation, being the face of your business, how when we change our business changes, the evolution of imposter syndrome, and many more things! 

    Hint: Marathons and dog sledding stories were included.

        • Dealing With Rejection

          Today we are talking about rejection! The more you start putting yourself out there, or getting out of your comfort zone, the more likely you are going to be dealing with rejection.

        • Word Of The Year: FIERCE. Plus, how I break down my annual goals.

           

          FIERCE is my word for the year, and that energy is ramping up each week! In today's podcast I'm breaking down my annual planning and here is the outline: 

          1. Word Of The Year: Note your word of the year, the definition and a paragraph about what it means to you! 
          2. What do you really want in life? As in, really really want, even if you are afraid to ask for it. Write about it. Make bullet points. No one else will see this, so dream big! 
          3. What is your ULTIMATE goal this year? You can choose this one after you write down #4, which is... 
          4. 2024 Goals: You can list revenue goals, action items around living your word, projects you want to complete. Try to keep it under 8, and it should all be goals you 100% know you can accomplish this year. 
          5. Vision: What is your vision for your entire life and career/business? Write a paragraph or two. 
          6. Success Formula: Do you have your success formula? Put that here. 
          7. Affirmations: What are your mantras and statements that are meaningful to you? 
          8. Bonus: Quantum Shift. I didn't really address this in the podcast, but if you've taken my Quantum Shift Your Business course, that would be here. :)
