    In the Trenches with Dr. Emily Splichal: Start-Ups that Disrupt the Norm

    In the Trenches with Dr. Emily Splichal: Start-Ups that Disrupt the Norm

    There is something about the initial struggle entrepreneurs go through that ultimately shape them and they carry that through the growth of their company.
    Today I’m In the Trenches with Dr. Emily Spichal, functional podiatrist and founder of Naboso Technology, an innovative new insole company. On this episode, we talk about creating a new product, the manufacturing process and getting investments.
     
    Three Things We Learned
    Expect haters if you’re trying to disrupt the norm. Factor the creation and manufacturing of your products into your timetable. You are always close to the moment of burnout.  After years of product development, planning, and manufacturing, your company may still need to go through several rounds of investments and stages of growth. When you’re disrupting an industry, you cannot give up.
     
    “What changes industries is disruptive ideas from someone who sees a void.” - Dr. Emily Splichal

    Part 2 of Hal Elrod on Vulnerability, Relationships and Celebrating Today

    Part 2 of Hal Elrod on Vulnerability, Relationships and Celebrating Today

    We all have a need for significance, certainty, variety, love & connection, personal growth, and contribution. We find fulfillment through fulfilling personal growth and contribution.
     
    This week, I’m joined by Hal Elrod, founder of the Miracle Morning and an author and speaker. In this episode, we talk about how to fix yourself to maintain a strong relationship and Hal’s upcoming book, The Miracle Equation.
     
    Three Things We Learned
    Be an unwavering source of unconditional love to everybody in your lives.  Use affirmations in all aspects of your life, not just personal growth. Get on purpose.   
    The world’s most successful anybody has all made 2 decisions: the decision to establish unwavering faith in something they’ve never done before and the decision to put forth extraordinary effort until they achieve the result. These are counterintuitive to human nature, but they will change you. This is the basis of Hal Elrod’s Miracle Equation.
    “We say a lot of words in our lives, but rarely do we see ourselves saying them. Reflections give you a reality check on who and what you are.” - Cassidy

    Three Things We Learned
    Our morning ritual is crucial.  Focus on behavior, not thought.  Choose to fail forward and fake it till you make it.   
    “If we win the morning, we win the day and when we do that every day we win the week, the month, the year, and have an amazing life.” - Hal Elrod
     
    Join me on Thursday as I finish up discussing vulnerability, relationships and changing our lives with Hal Elrod.

    Part 2 of David Osborn on Finding the Formula For Life, Embracing Your Journey and What Wealth Really Means

    Part 2 of David Osborn on Finding the Formula For Life, Embracing Your Journey and What Wealth Really Means

    Balance is not a permanent state of being. You have to live unbalanced to find your path to balance and then you have to work at it. It is the old cliche - it is the journey, not the destination. On your journey, you learn how to prioritize, communicate and win.
     
    On this episode, I finish my talk with David Osborn, entrepreneur and author of Wealth Can’t Wait, about your prioritizing, achieving and working toward balance, and learning how to handle your stress.



    Three Things We Learned
     
    Leaders need to be willing to follow.
    Prioritization is the key to avoiding breakdowns and gaining financial freedom.
    Look for the winning pattern.
     
    “As you become more successful, you have to put those that are reliable, resourceful and innovative into positions to be able to take over what you have done.” - Cassidy Phillips
     
    When we say Wealth Can’t Wait, we mean why would you wait for abundance when you can have it right now. David Osborn gave us insight into how we can find wealth in our own lives by embracing the journey.

    David Osborn on Building Wealth, Realizing Your Potential and Leveraging Life

    David Osborn on Building Wealth, Realizing Your Potential and Leveraging Life

    We’re all given different paths in life full of breakdowns and breakthroughs. Instead of continuously slamming your head against a wall, embrace your sense of adventure and find what works better for you.
     
    On this episode, I talk with David Osborn, entrepreneur and author of Wealth Can’t Wait, about investments, the emotions around reaching a goal and making continuous changes to better your life.
     
    Three Things We Learned
     
    Setting goals & accountability are the keys to success. Accountability systems around your goals lead you to more victory.
     
    Vicious versus virtuous cycles. The reason that the winners keep winning is because they are in a virtuous cycle. When you find something that works, you keep working the cycle.
     
    Pay attention to your air game. Air game is stepping out of your life like you’re a spiritual being looking down on your life, and looking at what isn’t working. Then change it. When you’re stuck in the ground game, you’re in survival or reaction mode.
     
    Join us next week to continue this discussion with David Osborn on taking advantage of the opportunities you have and constantly taking steps to better yourself.
