How does the voice inside your head speak to you? Does it tell you that you can do anything, or does it tell you that you're not good enough?

In this episode, I am revealing the mindsets of two mompreneurs, the common thought patterns, statements, and obstacles they face, and the different results that they produce.

The way that you think is important, especially the way you think about yourself. I want to make sure that your mindset is on track to take you where you want to go.

As I talk about these two mompreneurs, I want you to think about yourself. How often are you saying these things to yourself? Are you more like the first mompreneur or the second?

This is a supporting element of your A-Game formula, so you don't want to miss it.

Do you like to read your books or listen to them?

Either way, I've got five books to share with you to get your MomLife + BizLife ignited.

These books were game changers for me at the start of my business. They helped me get in the right mindset and scratch the surface of the entrepreneurial world.

I believe that reading is so valuable because it's a way for us to learn from other people's experiences. Other people provide knowledge and perspectives that we don't have, and books give us the opportunity to access that.

These books will help you start out on the right foot if you are just getting your business started, but if you've already been running your business for a while, it's never too late to expand your learning!

Tune in to find out my top five book recommendations.

Do you need some motivation?

In this episode, I am sharing an inspiring lesson from my seven-year-old twins that will leave you with an A-game plan for more celebration and motivation.

As adults, we forget to celebrate our wins the way little kids do. Why is that?

Celebrating our wins is so important to keep us motivated for the next one. Plus, we all deserve a little more celebration!

I'm getting into why taking time to celebrate is so important, how to recognize and celebrate every stage of your wins, and how to use that to stay motivated.

If you could use a little (or a lot!) more celebration and motivation in your life, I've got you covered.

Are you projecting your own thoughts and feelings onto other people?

In today's episode, I'm going to invite you to ignite your awareness around your conversations.

What does that mean?

We're going to take a look at how you are possibly projecting thoughts, opinions, and experiences onto people before they have the opportunity to create their own thoughts, opinions, and experiences. This is so important when it comes to the situations, interactions, connections, and collaborations we have as moms and as business owners.

We all need the chance to make our own judgments based on our own experiences, but we can be so easily influenced by the judgments of others. That's why I want to talk about how to know when you are projecting something onto someone else, and when they are projecting something onto you.

Tune in to find out whether you are really thinking for yourself or not and what to do about it.

Do you ever think about your habits and triggers?

Habits and triggers are key behaviors behind your mompreneur success. They have definitely saved my life over the past decade, so I'm getting into habit and trigger tracking 101 in this episode.

Think about it this way: We all have habits, and we all have triggers. Are we ignoring them, or are we actively learning about them and improving them? I bet you have so many amazing habits that are worth celebrating if you really think about it, but there are probably also a few that you could work on.

I am showing you how to identify them either way so you can learn to replace the triggers for the habits that you want to change. I am also getting into why they're so important and how to start working on them now.

Don't miss this chance to learn how to ignite your own habit and trigger awareness game.
