Make a To-Don't List!

We've been in quarantine =D  Find out what we've been up to while being isolated.

Gisele had to rethink how to market to customers to draw them to the cafe while operating with the new restrictions. Finding the positive in all this crazy is essential. She had to take on the challenge of running her businesses on her own and navigating the constant changes in regulations and consumer needs.

What ways can you reinvent your business? Be proactive about resources there to help you. Find opportunities in these unexpected circumstances. 

Andy is able to expand his business with the Zoom boom! Could this be a tool to utilize in pivoting your business?

Were you able to improve the quality of your life and find new connections or reconnections that you had gotten away from during your "at home" time?

Nuggets:
"clarity is kindness" 
"the universe will match your energy"
"be honest to a benefit"

Andy has a new book out! A Story and a Point

This book is a culmination of lessons learned from funny stories that he has experienced. Hopefully you can visualize these stories and put the lessons to good use in your life!

He describes a few stories that you'll enjoy from the book. Check out his facebook page or website: http://www.andykerrcoaching.com

It could take just one thing that resonates with you to change your life.

Everyone has a story to tell, so be open to sharing your story with others as well as receiving theirs to grow and connect.

Live your best story!

Luck = Preparation + Opportunity

It can take years to get "lucky." Put the hard work in and be patient, because the opportunity will come when you're ready for it.

Gisele talks about the difficulty in the neighborhood revitalization efforts that has taken a couple years before the right connection "serendipitously" arrived at an event. If you're ready for an opportunity you could catapult your success, on the other hand you could crash and burn if not prepared!

Make a list to track your accomplishments, no matter how small.

Success is a personal measurement. Write down measures of success you can track when you are a big dreamer, so you don't get discouraged.

Find people to be positive criticizers for you!

You can't get to where you're going, if you don't know where you are (Gisele will be writing a song about this, keep an eye out).

Andy went skydiving!

Basically, starting a business is like going skydiving for the first time. Sometimes you need a mentor in order to have that push to get you out of the comfort zone with the tools for success to keep you from plummeting to your death! (probably an exaggeration!)

Those who have jumped before have a confidence and enjoy the experience as well as being able to teach others how to do it.

We want to help broaden your perspective and to take the risk into entrepreneurship.

What is risk?

Start thinking about steps that you can take from where you're at that will get you to where you ultimately want to go.

We both had birthdays, which are great for reflection =)

If you start a business you can be overwhelmed with challenges (company, family, hobbies) how do you balance handling these challenges?

Balance doesn't just happen, you have to make choices that will create that balance.

Maintain doing things that will help reduce your stress and keep you sane! These things should not be optional, or if you find the time, they need to be a part of your schedule to stay decompressed and motivated.

Create space in your life for activities that keep you excited, positively challenged and rejuvenated.

Positivity can be trained into your personality! 

Stop negative monologues, reframe the situation, and tell yourself a new story that will put you in a positive mindset.

First Episode! Welcome to the Gisele and Andy show...we won't take too much of your time, but we hope to educate, inspire and keep it real for all you entrepreneurs, business owners and humans out there ;)
