  1. What if you didn't care so much?

    1 DAY AGO

    What if you didn't care so much?

    “What if you didn’t care so much?” Specifically, what if you stopped worrying about what your peers or others in your industry think & focused more of your time & energy on what truly matters—your clients, your business, and your unique journey?  Let’s explore the power of letting go of external pressures & how freeing yourself from unnecessary comparisons can help you to experience even more growth. Inspired by the quote, “I’m not afraid to be seen trying,” can help us to embrace the courage to stay in your own lane, trust your Entrepreneurial Superpower®, and focus on your vision, goals, and values. Key Takeaways: • Understand what “not caring” truly means—it’s not about indifference, but about shedding unnecessary comparisons. • As an expert, only you truly know your vision and goals, so staying in your lane is key to success. • Embrace the courage to be seen ‘trying’—let go of fear & judgment from others in your industry. • Your peers are not your benchmark; your own progress & the impact you have on your clients matter most. • Focusing on your clients’ needs is the core of your business, while letting go of external validation fuels creativity and growth. • Innovation often comes when you ignore what’s “expected” & instead focus on what feels right for your unique path. • Celebrate your wins, big or small, without comparing them to others in the industry. If you’ve ever struggled with worrying about what others think, this episode will guide you to shift your focus, tap into your own entrepreneurial strengths, & create without the weight of external pressures. Here are three reflection questions that will help you even more: ·     Who are you really doing this for? ·     Are you proud of what you’re building? ·     What could you achieve if you didn’t care what others thought?

    Don't let your upper limits hold you back

    Let’s dive deep into the concept of “upper limits” in business – those invisible ceilings we hit when things are going too well, leading to self-sabotage or setbacks. Inspired by The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, together we’ll explore how you can identify & overcome your own upper limits, especially as you are on the journey to grow your business. I’ll share how you can break down the key signs you’re hitting an upper limit & why fear, past experiences, and hidden beliefs could be driving these behaviours. “Hitting your upper limit doesn’t mean you’re failing – it’s a sign that you’re growing. The key is to make that invisible limit visible, so you can push through it and truly expand your potential.” A sneak peek of this episode: What is an Upper Limit? Understand how your internal thermostat keeps you in your comfort zone & how it shows up in your business. How Upper Limits Manifest From revenue blocks to sabotaging client work, discover how upper limits can impact your actions and decision-making. Real Client Example Listen to a story of one business owner who continually hit a revenue ceiling, and how we worked together to break through.

    How to make faster & smarter business decisions

    Business & life is filled with decisions that need to be made. But it can be tough … especially when it comes down to you to make that decision. And even more so, if your head & heart aren’t on the same page & stuck between choices. So in today’s episode, I’ll love to share with you two simple yet super effective techniques that have helped me & countless clients. Whether it’s a business decision, something personal, or even picking a meal from a menu, these quick approaches can save you from overthinking and make the whole process way easier. Key Takeaways: Head vs. Heart vs. Gut: We all know the internal battle—head says one thing, heart pulls you in another direction. But I’ve found that listening to my gut usually leads to the best decisions. The Coin-Flip Trick: This one’s simple. Take a coin, assign options to heads and tails, and flip it.The magic happens while the coin’s in the air—your gut will tell you which side you hope it lands on.Sounds too easy, right? But trust me, it works! Visualisation Technique: For more complex decisions, close your eyes and imagine you’ve already made each choice.Pay attention to how it feels—do you feel expansive and excited, or restricted and contracting?Your gut will guide you here.             Your Gut Knows What’s Up: That gut feeling taps into your subconscious, which is often more aligned with your true values and goals than your head or heart.  Don’t ignore it! Look Back at Past Decisions: Reflect on moments when you went against your gut and regretted it.Then, think about those times you followed it and it turned out great—this will help you trust it more moving forward.

  8. Having the courage to reinvent your business with Jess Lorimer

    5 SEPT

    Having the courage to reinvent your business with Jess Lorimer

    "I think it's really hard to quit something that's successful." In this episode, we dive deep into the courageous journey of Jess Lorimer, a highly successful business-to-business sales expert.  Jess shares how she made a bold decision to completely reinvent her thriving business because it wasn’t fitting with what she really wanted anymore. She ultimately chose to become a "category of one" rather than trying to be everything to everyone. Trust me, this episode is a must-listen for any business owner who has ever felt the pull to pivot in their business, even when things are going well. Key conversation points: 1. The Decision to Reinvent:   - Jess reflects on her journey of running a successful business called Smart Leader Sell but feeling disconnected from it by 2019. She describes how she realised that her business no longer brought her joy, even though it was financially successful. This realisation led her to make the courageous decision to reinvent her business from the ground up. 2. Aligning Business with Personal Values & Entrepreneurial Superpower:   - Jess emphasises the importance of aligning your business with your core values and strengths. She shares how she wanted to focus on what truly brought her joy—working with corporate clients and helping entrepreneurs sell to larger organisations. This shift allowed her to create her next evolution of her business, so that it was not only successful but also deeply fulfilling. She also shares show she’s been able to use her Creator Wealth Dynamics profile to help her to make that happen.  3. The Challenges of Quitting Success:   - One of the hardest parts of Jess's journey was the decision to leave behind a business that was already thriving. She opens up about the guilt and fear that came with this decision, particularly the concern that she was letting down her clients. Despite these challenges, Jess knew that she had to make the change to pursue her true passion and strengths. 4. Becoming a "Category of One":   - Jess explains her philosophy of becoming a "category of one" - creating a unique space in the market where she could stand out as the go-to expert in her field.  This involved narrowing her focus and doubling down on what she does best, rather than trying to be all things to all people. 5. Advice for Business Owners:   - We discuss the importance of regularly reassessing our business to ensure it aligns with our personal values and goals. We chat about how small tweaks, as well as major pivots, can help business owners like you to stay on a path that feels authentic and fulfilling.
