If you've been busy working on your business and are seriously taking action...but STILL not getting the results you want...*raise your hand*. {okay, bad idea through a podcast...just keep reading}. There's so many entrepreneurs out there with this challenge, so 2 things... 1. you're not alone, 2. I know why you're *busy*, but still coming up flat. Comparison is killing your business and it's not for the reason you think... You're comparing yourself to humans in A DIFFERENT PHASE OF BUSINESS. ***what phase of business are you talking about Adrienne?!*** Well, I'm so glad you asked. This is EXACTLY what I'm going to be covering this week on the so make sure you're there live or sign up to get the replay {will be available for 48 hours}. I'd like to argue that there are 3 phases of business that all businesses have the potential to achieve, but not all businesses will get to the 3rd phase, nor do they have to to be successful. note: in theory, you could stay in phase 1 and still be a successful business. But the biggest culprit of lots of work and lackluster results is working on activities and creating 'progress markers' {I'll share these with you too on the free workshop}that are NOT aligned with your current business phase. So...if you've ever said this...

"I'm doing all the right things!" or "I'm doing all the same things as so and so, why isn't it working?" or "I don't know what to focus on right now," or "why isn't this working?!" You MIGHT be doing the *right* things... ...but you're working in the wrong phase, which will not be the quickest path to results!

When you start comparing yourself to other entrepreneurs, you're looking at humans that are potentially in these other phases of business. And then you start thinking you need to be doing the things they're doing because it's working from what you see on the outside...but the truth is, they might be in a different phase of business, and therefore need different progress markers than you currently do! So, this comparison becomes the very thing that's SLOWING down your own progress. If you're in a different phase and you're focused on the wrong markers it's going to leave you defeated and deflated as you spend tons of time "doing the right things" and not getting the same big results. Ever felt that way? I know I have! I put together the 3 business phase framework so that you would know EXACTLY where you're at now, know exactly what to focus on in each phase to get results, and know when you're ready to enter the next phase. And I'm sharing it all with you this week FO' FREE inside this week's Profit in 30 workshop. RSVP for the PROFIT IN 30 workshop!

Here's what I'll be sharing for the first time everrrr:

• the 3 phases of businesses
• how to find out which stage you're in right MEOW...and when you're moving up...
• the progress markers and activities you need to focus on within each phase to get better results in your business
• what you should TOTALLY avoid because it's not helping in your current phase
• my own personal execution routines and processes to get better & more efficient results regardless of what phase you're in...

This is all happening on Wednesday {August 3rd} at 12pm EDT/9am PDT. So, regardless of what phase you're in now -- you're going to want to be there for this. i.e. whether you feel like you've got things figured out, OR you're wondering what to focus on and why this isn't working for you...you're going to want to save your seat for this one! You need to know what business phase you're in, and what to be doing to maximize and optimize where you're at, efficiency baby. Join this week's workshop to figure it all out! www.adriennedorison.com/profitin30

I want to start a movement around the conversation of GIVING, generosity, and our unique ability as entrepreneurs to earn more and give more than ever before.

This past week I had a phone conversation with my friend, Becky Straw, from The Adventure Project about how we're going to be giving even MORE to her organization than ever before and how I wanted to get more of my community involved in her monthly giving program, The Collective.

She's currently running a contest where YOU can win a trip to go with her and her team to Kenya to see how The Adventure Project is making an impact with entrepreneurs in local communities and I wanted her to share exactly what that looked like.

I just so happened to be recording it as well and wanted to share it here with you. If it calls to you, I'd love for YOU to start your giving with The Adventure Project this month in their Collective and be entered to win a trip to Kenya.

I also share with Becky why I think it's so important for me to share this message of Good Businesses Do Good in a bigger way, and I want to SHOW YOU that you CAN start giving right now.

If you're interested in joining The Collective and being entered to win a trip to Kenya -- join us here!

Becky Straw on her original interview on the show.

We all feel fear, but those who create massive success have decided that they need to make friends with fear instead of treating it as the enemy. Truth is, it never goes away. No level of success is going to make fear magically disappear. It WILL continue to show up...unless you turn into a psychopath, but let's not go there.

The only way to get over the fear is to take action with the fear and become friends with it because it never goes away.

Shelley Davidescu started Clean Forks in 2013 from the ground up and replaced her 9-5 income with full time entrepreneurship in 2015, all while buying a new condo with her husband. She has used her experience in business and a passion for psychology to grow her business to 4 and 5 figure months. Shelley teaches heath and wellness coaches to take inspired action and share their story in a way that leads to helping more clients and makes a more positive impact today. She's been featured in some of the biggest online publications such as the Huffington Post, Mind Body Green, Fit Life Tv, Raspberry Magazine and Elite Daily.

Shelley has done many scary things in her life and has helped many people overcome massive amounts of paralyzing fears. In the world of entrepreneurship, we don't get the luxury of standing still, because if we do, we don't get to share what we have with the world.

Today we're chatting about:

-- why success and health is your personal & human responsibility

-- how to friend fear and create more courage

-- why time actually expands fear {and how to stop it}

You can connect more with Shelley here in her FB group and over on her website.

Sometimes you just don't feel like it, right?! So what's a human to do? Watch netflix instead? Power through and man up?

When we only take action when we feel like it, we don't typically get the results that we want. In this episode, I'll share with you what to do instead.

When you just don't FEEL like doing it now, I want you to act from a place of how you will FEEL when it's completed. If you want the feeling you'll receive when the thing or task is completed, then you need to go ahead and do it. Act based on how you want to feel in future tense, not how you feel now in present tense.

Don't miss out on my FREE 5 Day Challenge -- how to build your business in 20 minutes/day!

Reina shares her unique take on marketing, called the "Social Glue Method" to which she attributes any of her internet credibility to.

Using this method and without a list,

• Reina sold out a group program within 2 months of launching her website

• Started her 1:1 coaching waitlist within 8 months of starting her business

• Before Reina + Co hit their one year anniversary, founder, Reina, was asked to speak at 3 "top of industry" conferences that her ideal clients attend.

In a sea of constant self-promoters, Reina helps women entrepreneurs cultivate their voice for what makes them unique and how to gain the following they desire to get.

In this episode, Reina is sharing what the Social Glue Method actually is, why you don't need a huge list; You don't need a huge audience; You don't need to spend a ton of money to get yourself out there; BUT that You DO have to care about people; You DO have to want to nurture relationships; You DO have to give something of yourself.

Jack Canfield and I have a lot in common, one of those things being...we understand the challenges of alcoholism. When I heard about Jack's new book, The 30 Day Sobriety Solution, I knew we had to talk about it on The School of Self-Mastery.

Jack Canfield is the beloved originator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series, and he fostered the emergence of inspirational anthologies as a genre - and watched it grow to a billion dollar market. As the driving force behind the development and delivery of more than 123 million books sold through the Chicken Soup for the Soul® franchise (and over 500 million copies in print worldwide), Jack Canfield is uniquely qualified to talk about success.

He's America's leading expert in creating peak performance for entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, managers, sales professionals, corporate employees, and educators and is affectionately known as "America's #1 Success Coach," . Jack has studied and reported on what makes successful people different. He knows what motivates them, what drives them, and what inspires them. He brings this critical insight to countless audiences internationally---sharing his success strategies in the media, with companies, universities and professional associations.

Jack is a Harvard graduate with a Master's Degree in psychological education and one of the earliest champions of peak-performance, developing specific methodologies and results-oriented activities to help people take on greater challenges and produce breakthrough results.

His proven formula for success reached global acclaim with his most recent National Bestseller, The Success Principles: How to Get From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be. But that's not the book we're going to be talking about in today's episode…nope, today we're talking about something much more personal for both me and Jack, sobriety.

Want to know why Jack decided to write the 30 Day Sobriety Solution? Me too. And how you can apply these principles to anything you may be addicted to...including your business.

Here's where you can get a copy of The 30 Day Sobriety Solution.

Wedding planning can be complicated, stressful and overwhelming...or it can be relaxed, enjoyable, full of love and imperfectionism.

That's what today's story is about...all my imperfectionism as I sent out my email wedding invitations. I realized we only had 80 days left until we said "I do" and figured I should probably officially invite some people.

So, naturally, I whipped up a wedding invitation via Greenvelope.com in 20 minutes flat...and hit send in between House of Cards episodes.

I wasn't always this way...I've previously suffered with something pretty common that you may be experiencing in your life and business as well...perfectionism.

I'm not a full-blown imperfectionist. Loud and proud baby.

Because honestly, if someone doesn't want to come to my wedding because the invite colors don't match the flowers...or because there won't be flowers...then I don't need them there anyway.

Maybe perfectionism plagues you too, but I want to challenge you in this episode to figure out ONE PLACE in your life and business that you can be more of an #imperfectionist for just a moment!

And when you do...let me know over here in my FB community!
