    S1 E59: Daring to Fight with Victoria Mininger

    As our final episode of Season One of the Begin Again Leadership podcast, we've saved our BEST begin again story for last.  A second chance.  Three of the most beautiful, hopeful words ever spoken.  Victoria Mininger never set out to write a book, much less a book about depression.  In fact, she didn’t really even aspire to be an author.  Yet, after a season when overwhelm turned to darkness, Victoria dared to fight.  Her second chance not only helped herself, it's now helping thousands.  Writing is hard work.  A book always seemed like a daunting task.  And it is. And yet, when the need outweighs the excuses, somehow a book is what you get.And WHAT a book! Daring to Fight: When Grit, Grace & Faith Take Depression Head-On  is now available on Victoria's website and soon on Amazon.  I LOVE this book so much that I've already given away copies to friends who need a word of inspiration during a very challenging time.  Victoria is a wife, mom of four, Owner, CEO and Integrator of Bear Creek Outdoor Living ( a Residential Construction Firm), Writer, Author, Speaker, hands in the dirt gardner & farm girl.  And a great friend from a faith and business Mastermind we've been part of for several years. I know you are going to enjoy part 1 of our time with Victoria.  --WinstonLinks from the ShowBear Creek Outdoor Living (company website)Daring to Fight: When Grit, Grace and Determination Take Depression Head On (Amazon)Daring to Fight book trailer (YouTube)VictoriaMininger. com (speaker website)***So, let's draw deeper faith, inspiration and encouragement in our Begin Again moments.   If you like what you hear, please share with your friends and leave us an honest review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.  Capture a screenshot of your review and email us at clientsuccess@winsightz.com for your free gift, Future 7 Figure CEO.

    S1 E58: RELEARN for ReFIREment

    Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed, lost or just worn out.  You’re missing that spark, that fire you had at the beginning of the year.  I definitely hit that wall myself just a few months ago and ReFIREment is the process I used to help me rediscover my passion and my fire and today, others tell me how peaceful, surrendered and relaxed I look.   If you’ve never heard of the term ReFIREment, this is the last of a four part series, helping you gain your passion back after a season of setbacks.   The four steps are: Unplug: disconnecting from external resources temporarilyUnlearn:  reevaluating & challenging existing ideas, beliefs and conceptsRest:  experimenting with and understanding ways to deepen your restRelearn:  incorporating new practices and beliefs to set you on a new path  Today, let’s go deeper into step three: RELEARN.    And as I’m recording this in early November 2020, it’s seven plus months since I made the decision to unplug to begin this journey. What are my results so far? My life is very satisfying.  I have more discernment and boundaries around what is most important in my life.  I no longer drift along with the waves of circumstances.  I now bless and release negative people from my list of acquaintances.  And for a recovering people pleaser, that is a huge improvement in the quality of my life.  I have rediscovered my passion for teamwork and collaboration, which have been the hallmark of my career.  I’ve realized that I’m not as effective as a lone wolf and how much I love helping others grow and prosper within the context of a TEAM you LOVE.  Our monthly business income is now 4x what it was before I stopped working in April.  And we’re only scratching the surface of what is possible.  This morning as an example, I set a personal record for the amount of deep sleep in a night, beyond anything I thought possible a few months ago.  And my body has already released 22 inches of girth during this lengthy process of unlearning.  As I enter this season of relearning, I’m excited about what’s to come.  ***Other practical resources to help you ReFIRE mentioned in this series: Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep & Dreams by Matthew WalkerThe Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark ComerDigital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Busy World by Cal NewportI've Been Thinking...Reflections, Prayers and Meditations for a Meaningful Life by Maria Shriver.Please note that some links above are affiliates: which does not increase the price to you, yet supports our work with a small commission for sharing these resources.  ***Catch our next episode next Monday morning.  Subscribe in Apple Podcasts or any of your favorite podcast players so you don’t miss a single episode.  So, let's draw deeper faith, inspiration and encouragement in our Begin Again moments.   If you like what you hear, please share with your friends and leave us an honest review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.  Capture a screenshot of your review and email us at clientsuccess@winsightz.com for your free gift, Future 7 Figure C Text us feedback on this episode #TeamLOVE Book.

    Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed, lost or just worn out.  You’re missing that spark, that fire you had at the beginning of the year.  I definitely hit that wall myself just a few months ago and ReFIREment is the process I used to help me rediscover my passion and my fire and today, others tell me how peaceful, surrendered and younger I look.  And this journey begins from within.   If you’ve never heard of the term ReFIREment, we’re going to go deeper on this four part series which began last time, helping you gain your passion back after a season of setbacks.   The four steps are: Unplug: disconnecting from external resources temporarilyUnlearn:  reevaluating & challenging existing ideas, beliefs and conceptsRest:  experimenting with and understanding ways to deepen your restRelearn:  incorporating new practices and beliefs to set you on a new path  Today, let’s go deeper into step two, UNLEARN.As a philosophy student in college, one quote from Plato speaking about his mentor takes my breath away everytime I hear it and seek to apply it in my life.   My paraphrase: Wisdom comes from knowing that you know nothing.   How counter-cultural and counterintuitive is that statement in today’s world.   And probably the single most important reason to UNPLUG from social media where everyone with an opinion, a conspiracy, or an axe to grind can/will post with absolute conviction and certainty AND which will be shared, reposted, retweeted, and amplified to an increasingly larger yet smaller-minded echo chamber of like-minded followers.   Unlearning what you think you know unlocks new doors of potential in your business and life.   ***Catch our next episode next Monday morning.  Subscribe in Apple Podcasts or any of your favorite podcast players so you don’t miss a single episode.  So, let's draw deeper faith, inspiration and encouragement in our Begin Again moments.   If you like what you hear, please share with your friends and leave us an honest review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.  Capture a screenshot of your review and email us at clientsuccess@winsightz.com for your free gift, Future 7 Figure CEO.

    S1 E55: UNPLUG for ReFIREment

    Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed, lost or just worn out.  You’re missing that spark, that fire you had at the beginning of the year.  I definitely hit that wall myself just a few months ago and ReFIREment is the process I used to help me rediscover my passion and my fire and today, others tell me how peaceful, surrendered and younger I look.  And this journey begins from within.  The four steps are:  Unplug: disconnecting from external resources temporarilyUnlearn:  reevaluating & challenging existing ideas, beliefs and conceptsRest:  experimenting with and understanding ways to deepen your restRelearn:  incorporating new practices and beliefs to set you on a new path  In today's episode, we'll explore what it means to UNPLUG. For me, I challenged myself to stop certain actions for 30 days and then to check in again to see if I wanted to reinstall any of them.   What UNPLUG looks like probably varies for all of us.  I suggest starting by taking inventory of activities or actions that block your inner peace or knowing.  These could be both so-called “good” or “bad” actions -- being curious and willing to reconsider these blocks will give you cues of items you’d want to consider.   And this is also a great time to check your spirit.  If resistance wells up when you consider giving up a particular activity for 30 days, that’s a likely candidate for consideration.  For me, anytime I push back or resist an idea, it’s usually a sign of something I need to consider releasing for a bit.   So, your assignment this week.  Consider what a season of UNPLUG looks like for you.  What are some actions or activities are you willing to forgo for a short period of time?   Create this extra margin so you can take the next step along the ReFIREment journey: UNLEARN, which we will cover next time.   ***Catch our next episode next Monday morning.  Subscribe in Apple Podcasts or any of your favorite podcast players so you don’t miss a single episode.  So, let's draw deeper faith, inspiration and encouragement in our Begin Again moments.   If you like what you hear, please share with your friends and leave us an honest review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.  Capture a screenshot of your review and email us at clientsuccess@winsightz.com for your free gift, Future 7 Figure CEO.

    S1 E54: Waiting with Purpose

    We’re back after a short break, we are preparing for our upcoming Season Two (coming soon) by taking you behind the curtain here at WinstonFaircloth.com.   Over this five part series, we’ve been sharing our emerging PLAN of how we’re going to serve three types of business owners going forward. Leaders who either WANT, NEED or HAVE teams to help them multiply their impact by creating, growing and keeping teams THEY LOVE.  We call this process: For LOVE of Team.  Today, another hard truth gained during this season.  The value of WAITING.  During reFIREment, there are so many life and business lessons to learn, but none as important as the season of WAITING.  People tend to think of surrender and waiting as passive.  As type A’s or high D’s, we are constantly in motion, taking “massive action”.  That’s the answer to every problem.  And in our culture, we’re conditioned for instant results. Waiting is a season when things might not be easy.  Yet, it is a season where we are being prepared for everything that lies ahead as we step into our purpose.  We’re putting down strong and deep roots.  And just like the fruit tree, we don’t plant it today and harvest delicious apples tomorrow.  Let’s be thankful for this season of waiting.   *** Catch our next episode next Monday morning.  Subscribe in Apple Podcasts or any of your favorite podcast players so you don’t miss a single episode.  So, let's draw deeper faith, inspiration and encouragement in our Begin Again moments.   If you like what you hear, please share with your friends and leave us an honest review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.  Capture a screenshot of your review and email us at clientsuccess@winsightz.com for your free gift, Future 7 Figure CEO.
