Do you ever feel like it's Groundhog Day?

Do you feel like you are doing the same thing over and over and can’t see past today? One of the most common themes I hear among you, my listeners, is that you feel like you're so in the weeds of today, that it's hard to see how your entrepreneurial vision is actually going to play out. You have vision, but you can't see how those dots connect.

The common thread among entrepreneurs who feel the glory of that wholesome success in both their life's work and in their homes with the people they love, is that they are present in today without feeling stuck in the weeds and they are committed to building a future-focused business. 

So, where do you start? How do you unleash your entrepreneurial potential so you can have that successful future-focused business? Well, I’m going to tell you exactly that and hopefully, the end result will be you feeling aligned and hopeful for what's next!

If you are someone who’s been in the business-building mode for a long time, but you are not sure if you’re really setting yourself up for generational wealth and affluence, then this episode is for you!

My guest in today’s episode is financial wizard, Mel Abraham. Mel has bought and sold numerous multi-million dollar businesses for himself as well as his clients. He's worked alongside incredible people like Arianna Huffington, Brendon Burchard and Tony Robbins. He's a certified CPA who became a true financial expert.

After a really scary cancer battle just a few years ago, Mel woke up to the idea of affluence and financial liberation for himself and for his family and that's what he's breathing into us today - this idea of how you can have your business AND you can strengthen your business. But what else is happening outside the walls of your business that is also providing freedom and possibility and cash flow into your world to set you up for wealth, legacy and possibility beyond the “right now?”

Legacy starts right now. Building generational wealth starts now.

Sometimes we think of it as this future thing, this concept that we're working really hard for right now, but we will have some day. This is why today's conversation is really going to wake you up, shake you up and open your mind to the possibility of how you're leading in business, how you're leading your family and what you're leaving behind.

It's not just about money. It's about the moments.

"I feel spread too thin."

This is a common thread that I hear across all my clients, listeners, mastermind members and really just in conversations with my peers and friends.

A lot of entrepreneurs believe that with more time and success comes more peace and freedom. But there are people who have had many years under their belts and massive levels of success who still feel like they're being split in two. Many of them have the consciousness to create schedules that give them the space to be with family or to honor the things that matter, but they still feel pulled in too many directions. So, how do we break free of that feeling? 

Today, I'm walking you through what has helped me shift from that feeling of being spread too thin to having more capacity and to feel more intact and more at peace as I navigate a very full life. It is admittedly a work in progress but I have seen a lot of change that's breathing life back into my work and connection back into my relationships and I want to share it with you.

You’ve heard me talk about it many times before but make sure you snag today's free resource because it's ultimately the nucleus of this whole process, you can go to snag it at https://luminaryleadershipco.com/truenorth.

Welcome to one of the most intimate episodes I will ever share on the podcast! 

This particular episode is with one of THE most important people in my life. She is the person I credit for so much of who I am today and the one I am becoming. She is the one I turn to about everything from parenthood to marriage to business and everything in between because this episode is with the woman who raised me. Now my mom isn’t just the average mom. If she were willing to share her résumé (which I try to drag out of her in the episode!), you would see that she is also a business mogul who has the most incredible credentials from being on the board and having been president of a bank to being a CPA running her own practice and having been an entrepreneur for over 40 years now. She is brilliant in business.

So today’s episode is really about servant leadership because she epitomizes what it means to be a servant leader and how that naturally magnetizes the right people into your life and into your business. How it yields so much fruit and beauty and joy in the process of becoming a business leader and how it creates a ripple effect that really transcends us, that becomes a piece of our legacy. She talks a lot about the ethics of business and how to really stand a part and not in the ways we are often taught in the industry. Today’s episode will serve you in business beyond probably anything I’ve ever put out here. 

I am so excited to introduce you to my mom, to my mogul mom, to the incredible Nadema Gemmell!

What is different about the leaders we watch and admire, who seem to stride with more confidence and everything just seems to flow so effortlessly for them? What is it that they do differently?

Today's conversation is for anyone who feels like they are having to pull people along, whether it's in their own homes or in their businesses. It’s for those of you who want to be an empowered leader who people really want to follow naturally. If you've been leaning on sheer willpower for a while now to get to where you are today, today's your level up.

Have you been wondering where your inspiration went?

Most of us get a start in our businesses feeling so inspired by the possibilities ahead of us. That's why we start in the first place. But we come up on these seasons throughout the years where we wonder where that spirit of possibility went.

Are we just spread too thin and we can't feel it? Was that season when we were inspired before we had the demands of also raising a family? Are we too in the weeds of being in our business that we can’t even feel inspiration because we have so much we have to get done? 

In today’s episode, I'm going to walk you through a simple diagnostic checklist with 10 tests to take you from lacking motivation and wondering where that good feeling went in your business to truly inspired leadership that will infiltrate every major category of your life. 

We’ve all been there, but the difference maker is what are you going to do about it? What are you doing with this opportunity to become more aware that you are not feeling the same level of inspiration and how can you get it back again?

I'm going to give you a little hint - it is actually not about creating more hours in the day. 

I know you feel spread thin, I know you feel hurried, but the way out of it is not working more and it's not getting more things checked off your to-do list. That habit is only going to break you. It's gonna burn you out and it's going to keep you from stepping into the life you want and operating at optimal levels with peace, fulfillment and prosperity. 

Today, we're talking about a process that is going to help you become insanely more efficient without doing more work; to produce with prolificacy without spending more time doing it; to be more fulfilled and more present; less burn out and less hurried. 

We are leveraging our energy. We are leveraging our time.

This is the one. This is the episode you need. Trust me. 

I've had a few interviews that keep competing for my all time favorite and there's no doubt that this one is one of them. 

There's a reason why Patrice Washington was named one of the most inspiring voices in personal development (two times!) by Success Magazine, and there is a reason that in her years as America's Money Maven, Patrice became known across many circles as the go-to resource for financial possibility.

In this interview, you get to witness the evolution of someone who didn't just step into what she was good at, but actually embraced who she was called to be, and the countless doors that have opened since stepping into that. She's doing things a little bit differently and it's making a massive impact!

Today's episode took us in directions I didn't anticipate but I am so thankful it did. Patrice and I go over what it means to redefine wealth and chase purpose over money, how to heed God's call even when it's scary and the possibility that can really come from it when you listen to where you're being guided. Walking through heart wrenching hardships, bringing our children into the fray of entrepreneurship and leading them into purpose.

This is one of the most powerful conversations I ever had!

Today's episode is all about stepping into a new season. 

What does it look like to consciously choose to craft a new season for your life, for your business? I believe life happens in seasons, but sometimes we get a little passive and allow those seasons to hit us when they may, instead of actually mapping them out and choosing to kick them off. If you've been in a season of rest, maybe it's time to hit the gas or if you've been in a season of constant work maybe it's time to lean into the season of family. If you've been in a season of hustle, perhaps it's your time to elevate into a season of strategy.

In today’s episode, I'm walking you through how I consciously shift from one season into the next, both in my life and my business and how I intentionally grow into leadership, new opportunities and our family's vision.
