Using Your Personal Filter to Make Decisions in Life & Business

One thing I've questioned so much in the past few years is - "Why do we consider 'hard work' a virtue?'" Some of the hardest working people in the world are the least productive, least 'successful,' and least wealthy - and yet the wealthiest folks in the world don't work anywhere near as hard as those living under the poverty line. Where does the myth that hard work leads to success come from and why does it persist? My friend Lisa, a productivity coach, is back on the podcast today because her unique perspective about what 'productivity' even means follows this exact line of questioning and interrogation. About Lisa Lisa Zawrotny is a Productivity + Accountability Coach, founder of Positively Productive Systems, and host of the Positively Living® Podcast. She helps multitasking creatives and caregivers reduce overwhelm and boost productivity without burning out or sacrificing what they love. When she’s not sharing how to simplify and stress less, you’ll find her hanging out with her husband and kiddos traveling, watching movies, and acting like a rock star, or hiding from the world with an iced coffee and a good book, probably trapped under a cat. Lisa has current certifications in time + stress management, life coaching, and positive psychology. She’s helped hundreds of clients do less, live more, and breathe easier.

Assessing Your Strengths for Business Leverage

When you spend a lot of time in the spaces online where people are discussing online business (especially typical coaching spaces), you'll hear a lot of "one-size-fits-all" advice - about online courses, memberships, high ticket offers, low ticket offers, focusing on one thing, and raising your prices, just as a few common examples. But the reality is that we are all totally different people and therefore, we have totally different strengths. Rather than trying to fit into some kind of mold for success, my guest today (Hannah Miller) is here to break down the value of really learning about your own strengths (like, through an assessment such as CliftonStrengths), and using what you know (and what you learn!) about how your unique brain works to create your own definition of success. About Hannah: Hannah is founding director of ‘sidekick’, a business built around enabling others to find their unique purpose. She enjoys communicating in all its forms and sees it is a powerful tool for development. Hannah is what you call a “Strengths - Based Coach”. She has been trained so that when you work together, you are given the tools to really get to know yourself: what you do best, what your contribution is - what your STRENGTHS are. Then you’re armed to make the right decisions and build a life that works for you.

Marketing Your Business Beyond Social Media

It seems like every time you try to talk to someone about 'marketing' in the online business coaching space, they just want to talk about social media.

I love how Sarah talks about things that are sometimes hard to talk about. It isn’t all about what’s wonderful and great in business and how flashy and shiny it all is. It’s about the real things we experience as entrepreneurs and business owners.
Immediately impressed!

I just came across this podcast with Sarah and I have to say I was immediately impressed. The conversations don’t feel forced or contrived. In fact, it feels a lot like sitting in a cozy room as a fly on the wall watching friends have a conversation. I can’t wait to dig into more episodes!
