YOUR BIG NEXT | business growth, leadership development, scaling with purpose, faith and family first entrepreneur

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?

Today's episode is a story about how I cried my eyes out at my kids swim lesson and why it actually applies to you.    I don't know if this happens to you, but God has a tendency to swoop in and humble me, when I need it the most. He reminds me what matters and gives me that gift of perspective. And the thing is, the gift of perspective can be pretty short lived if you don't fully embrace it, but when you do embrace it, when you take it in and weave it into everything you do and the way you see the world, it can change everything.    If you're feeling the pressure and the stress of juggling your missions in business and at home, if you're in a season of busy and hurry, if you wonder when you'll finally feel that fulfillment and the contentment of it all, let today’s episode and Amira’s story inspire you in leadership and in parenthood, and what you're going to do with the precious time you have left.   Let’s raise them up right!   SHOW NOTES: https://luminaryleadershipco.com/episode73   Come connect with me on Instagram!

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.

Are entrepreneurs born or made?

Do you ever wonder if some people are just designed with entrepreneurship in their DNA? It seems like they’re just made for it and they would never quit, because it's just a piece of who they are. Or do you question if nurture plays the greatest role in developing the entrepreneurial spirit? 

So, let's have a little debate today and leave you with some practical tips to bring into your home to support your entrepreneurial Luminaries and feel confident that you're guiding them and steering them towards where they're actually called to and made for.

Don't tell my mother, but she's currently in competition for my favorite interview of all time. My mom took the cake with her episode…that is until I had Scott Mann on the show. 

18 years as a Green Beret, 23 years in the United States Army, a father, a husband, and someone who has fine tuned his leadership skills and is making an impact around the world beyond anything I've ever seen.

Today’s conversation with Scott blew me away. I'll give you a few previews of what you can expect: (1) he had me in tears, (2) he had me laughing, and (3) he made a fundamental impact on how I will lead within the walls of my own home and in my business for the remainder of my life.

As entrepreneurs, we like to study the habits of really successful business owners in order to replicate a process or a system that's worked for someone doing something similar to what we're aspiring to do. 

Today, I want to talk about combining the habits of our two most important callings in life - our business and our family. We're shifting out of having to juggle these two worlds and we're stepping into and transforming into what I call a founder family. You're not just an entrepreneur who can compartmentalize your life, having your business on one side and your family on another. It's all about how we integrate family and business. 

In today's episode, I'm going to quickly cover some habits, rituals and strategies that I've noticed in studying these types of founder families. Hopefully, you can grab some of the ideas and make them your own as you design what it means to be a part of your entrepreneurial family and the growth that you are having together. I'm sure you've learned by now that you do not want your business success to come at the expense of your family and what matters most - and the only way to ensure that is to integrate these worlds.

Let’s raise them up right!

I'm gonna 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 our most asked for topic yet!

As entrepreneurs, we can be well-meaning in our guidance and our little shoves when we see potential in our kids, but we can ultimately do more harm than good in their first experience in the entrepreneurial world, if we're not intentional and understanding of the ways to do it, and the things to avoid.

So, your kid wants to start a business? Let’s talk about how you can help them.

There's just something about that young entrepreneur that's so refreshing and today, I'm going to cover some important clarifying questions to get clear on both your kids intentions, goals and outcomes and help you navigate the conversations.

Do you know what the most common thing I hear my listeners and members of my programs say, as already successful entrepreneurs? I feel split in two.    Being ambitious and excited to pursue your dreams in business, but also feeling this pull to your family is such a tough feeling to navigate and definitely one I can resonate with.  How can you ever be enough to lead in two separate worlds? You can’t. Does that mean that you can't be an incredibly successful entrepreneur in the same season that you are a present parent, raising incredibly well adjusted  and happy children?    Well, there's a secret that not a lot of people know and it's something I learned as a young girl witnessing my mom, my dad, my grandparents, aunts and uncles in entrepreneurship. I want to share that secret with you today because it's going to change not just your business, not just your family life, but how you live. It's going to take the pressure off of you and it's going to open up space and possibility that you dream about but think is too far away because of the demand that comes with feeling split in two.   So, if you're ready to breathe that sigh of relief and step into a new way of living, let's get to it.   SHOW NOTES: https://luminaryleadershipco.com/episode66   RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:

It's such a dreamy idea to check out of work to show up for your family and have these clean lines between the two.

Except that's almost never how it works. You might be advanced enough to do what the gurus teach about having boundaries and blocking time off to be with your family and away from your work, but does your brain always get that memo or is it being pulled in so many different directions putting out a million little fires in the business? 

I get it, because I've lived it. 

But the most fulfilled and admired leaders have identified the difference across that super blurred line that stands between being physically present and feeling present. And today's episode will help you step across that line.
