    126 | 4 Ways to Start Leveraging Proximity and Stop Wasting Opportunities

    Community has played an invaluable role in Lisa’s personal growth and her success as an entrepreneur. In this episode, Lisa shares 4 ways to stop wasting proximity and leverage community to impact your life in a positive way. Many people confuse community with audience. You pay to be in the room, whether that is registering for a Mastermind or attending a conference. But instead of embracing that opportunity to build connections, you default to the role of a spectator. Lisa secured a 3-year deal because of how she showed up in high-level communities. She did that by entering those spaces and valuing the people there with shared interests. It’s not just about the creator who started the community; it’s about everyone gathered and seeking more than information. If you are ready to be a better community member, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how to identify, join, and participate in high-level communities to advance your goals.   📢CLARITY™ Lab: 5-DAY IMMERSIVE STRESS FOCUS GROUP  If you're curious about how to eliminate stress at its root and want to experiment with real tools, uncover hidden stress triggers, and walk away with a personalized plan for building a life you don’t need a vacation from, click here and get registered for this five-day stress focus group where stress meets strategy.   DISCOVER HOW STRESSED YOU REALLY ARE  Take Lisa’s Mini Stress Assessment designed to support you in your journey to optimize your health by eliminating chronic stress.    COACH ME LIVE SESSION If today’s episode hit home, why not bring your question directly to the mic?

    125 | I Stopped Being Overwhelmed by My Commitments When I Started Doing This

    When requests for your time, energy, or talent stop being a blessing and start being a burden, it is time to reevaluate. In this episode, Lisa shares how she stopped being overwhelmed by her commitments. Hoping people will stop asking you to do things isn’t the solution. You want to be in demand. The key to overcoming these challenges is discernment. Decision-making is a skill. When you overload your schedule, you overload your mind. It is easy to say yes because you want to be valued and you want to be helpful. The problem is your communication. If you aren’t clear on the details of your decision, you don’t understand the full ramifications of that commitment and end up operating past your capacity. Yes is not a complete sentence. If you struggle with overcommitment, this episode is for you. Learn what happens when you stop blindly agreeing and how a different approach can eliminate unnecessary stress in your life.   📢EMBRACE RADICAL OBEDIENCE™ Are you ready to break free from fear and step into your true calling?
