Happy Productive with Jennifer Dawn: Grow Your Business Without Giving Up Your Life Jennifer Dawn

If you find yourself in situations that seem to have no resolution, this is the podcast for you. Susanna is the founder of the new approach called Pragmatic Psychology. It focuses on solutions rather than problems. People stuck in the heaviness of their thoughts can't even hear and accept praise. But that can change. It's a point of view, not a reality.

Challenge your reality by knowing that your truth will always feel light.
Notes:✨ Susanna is the founder of a revolutionary new approach called Pragmatic Psychology: dramatic is where you focus on the problem and look for a solution, but pragmatic means doing what works. 01:42❗ Most people want to be right rather than free and they underestimate the power we have when we take on a point of view: how to see there are other possibilities. 08:07🌎 The world feeds us one drama after the other: if we foster ourselves as leaders and inspire others to be leaders, we will have a different world very soon. 15:54🤔 If you want to be truly productive, check if the information you're receiving is valuable for you: what's congruent, what's true, and what makes us feel lighter when we feel down. 19:07⏰ Whenever you listen to someone, and it creates a sense of contraction and heaviness, create an alarm to warn you: your truth will always feel lighter. 22:53

Lowering your productivity benchmark is essential for long-term success. Kate De Palma is the founder & CEO of Scented Designs Candle Co. and shares the time management insights she learned during her entrepreneurial journey. Entrepreneurs often end up trying to do everything themselves, which leads to a lack of focus and productivity in the long run. The key to keeping yourself focused on what is most important and maintaining that feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction is to create more manageable and realistic goals. Offload some tasks onto other people, stop checking your phone every 5 minutes, and take baby steps toward your high-priority goals. Start working on something valuable and stop filling your time with busy work!
Notes:🕯️ Kate is a Stanford graduate, a former educator, and the founder of Scented Designs, a clean-crafted Candle Company: company growth takes time and education, and sometimes it needs to be a side job until it develops. 01:42🤝 Doing in-person markets pre-COVID enabled Kate to do collaborations and survive the pandemic. 05:58👙 Kate loves finding collaborations in the most unexpected places: working with someone is not about competing but serving your customer at a higher level. 09:51✅ You don't need a full-time employee because just one person a few hours a week can make a difference: there's real power in saying no and focusing your energy. 13:39📋 If you can't make your priorities, hire a business manager and practice lowering the expectation bar a little bit. 17:08👉 Don't play catch up - just realize where you are and take baby steps: when you're not so busy, things get in a natural order and pace. 20:27❣️ Shut down the inbox, close the email tab, and go to Do Not Disturb mode to save your productivity. 23:16

As an introverted entrepreneur, proper scheduling is the key to avoiding burnout. Jodi Lasky is the Introvert Founder, and she coaches a wide range of neurodiverse entrepreneurs and helps them develop sustainable strategies for their success and well-being. If you are an introverted entrepreneur, it can be hard to schedule your time in a way that is not energy-draining when big to-do lists are overwhelming, and new ideas can derail you from a productive workflow. The solution is to work backward from your future dreams and create a comprehensive list of the tasks you need to complete every week to make progress toward these long-term goals. Measuring their size and priority, curate this weekly list of tasks from your giant to-do list, and don't let anything distract or derail you from these weekly achievements. Save yourself from the overwhelm and energy drain of entrepreneurship and make yourself a strategic schedule today!
Notes:⭐ Jodi is an entrepreneur, a coach, a speaker, and a writer with a lot of experience in government work and tech: she's an introvert and has ADHD - introversion is not shyness. 01:24🎯 The biggest difficulty for an introvert is trying not to be one: extroverts get energy from networking, but introverts should choose networking events carefully because they drain energy. 04:44✅ Pre-COVID, many people were forcing themselves to try to be extroverts, and they paid for it on the back end: introversion and extroversion aren't necessarily a fixed binary. 07:03📋 Even if ideas are flowing, that doesn't mean they're good: Jodi has a process based on agile software development that helps you with your to-do lists. 08:45💎 Jodi shared two big life lessons: people say many things, but it's not their actual opinion - use your time intelligently, even when networking. 16:17

 The hard work of entrepreneurship can take its toll on us if we don't adopt a strategic mindset. Jeffrey Hayzlett is the chairman & founder of the C-Suite Network, where he supports C-level executives and entrepreneurs in achieving professional success. Being an entrepreneur is not a walk in the park, and it requires a delicate life balance of spirituality, friends, family and your business. The best way to overcome the hurdles and manage your way through the inevitable failures is to have a strategy in place, and that means automating, delegating and eliminating your daily tasks so you can prioritize the most important ones. You are responsible for your own success, so set boundaries for yourself and focus on the core goal of your business; the problem you are solving for others. Stop surviving, find your inspiration, and start to thrive and drive through the obstacles standing between you and your goals!
Notes:👔 Jeffrey is a prime-time television host, a global business celebrity speaker, a best-selling author, and chairman and CEO of the C-Suite Network: he's a millennial trapped in a baby boomer body who loves to solve core issues, take care of his family, earn money and have fun. 02:04✅ A leader's job is not to be the smartest person in the room but to be the most strategic: decision-making is a lot simpler when you have a clear direction. 05:28👨‍🍳 Jeffrey finds inspiration in the people around him. 07:11🪞 The only person who will change it for you is the person who is looking in the mirror at you every day: get off your keister, get off your couch, quit eating bonbons and feeling sorry for yourself, and get in the game! 11:25😷 Jeffrey shares his horrible experience where failure was unavoidable: you can make a little lemonade out of some lemons, but it's still tough. 15:18✅ It doesn't do you any good just to survive because we all need to thrive. 17:59🚴 Sturgis and Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota are awesome places for bike lovers: stay away from buffalo! 21:58🎯 Focus on the problem because if you can solve the problem for somebody, they'll pay you. 25:19

The key to managing your productivity is self-awareness. Erik Fisher is the producer and podcast host for Beyond The To-Do List, where he discusses practical productivity strategies with productivity experts. The best way to streamline a productive schedule is to be realistic about what we know we can do, how much we know we can do, and which days we are most productive. Spend a week and gather data on where you spend your time and do an honest analysis of how you could rearrange your to-do list to take advantage of this. The vast majority of what we put on our to-do lists are not tasks that move the needle, so doing less, but more of what is important, is the formula for success. You have agency over your work life, so make an honest assessment of your current strategy and take control!
Notes: 📋 Eric has been the producer and host of the Beyond the To-Do List podcast, where he talks with productivity experts: choose less to do because when you get less done, you still have all that extra time. 01:57⏳ Bring more self-awareness into your day by using Toggle or just time-tracking your schedule for a week: repeat this every six months. 03:22🎙️ Erik struggled with ADHD for a very long time in his adult life without knowing, which led him to start a productivity podcast. 08:19❗ You can be more productive by reducing the expectations you put on yourself: broken commitments affect our psyche, emotions, heart, and confidence. 10:25✅ Check which times are best for certain task types: you have a very high percentage of agency about your workflow. 14:00👉 Many people are forcing themselves into a chronotype that's not their own: schedule your day the best way it works for you. 17:07📈 Just hit a reset, do one of these time-tracking sessions for a good week or two, and track all those variables: it's time for a change! 20:50

Connecting your intentions with the food you eat will result in a healthier and happier life. Lainie Wulkan is the Founder of Center For Intuitive Food Therapy and shares her passion for unlocking greater flow and health for the mind, body, and spirit through the foods we eat. All the foods we eat on a daily basis can have profound effects on our mental and emotional states and can help us fuel the mindsets we need to tackle life's daily challenges. To use the food we eat as a tool for personal development, we must learn their properties and listen to what our body is telling us that it needs. Everybody always says that a positive mindset is the key to success, so why aren't we putting something positive in our bodies as well? If you want to manifest and attract more of what you need in your life, start looking at your food differently!
Show notes:👩‍🦱 Lainie is the founder of the CIFT Center for Intuitive Food Therapy, the co-author of The Food Healing Oracle Deck, and a lifelong foodie: she worked in top vegetarian kitchens in Hollywood for numerous celebrities. 01:43💦 If we can fuel the body properly, it will give us the fuel we need to think, make great decisions, manifest, and attract what we need: putting words to food - food is mostly water and water is affected by the frequency of words. 03:37✨ Lainie works with businesses who hire her to look at problems from an esoteric point of view: being open-minded leaves space for the unseen to govern synchronicities and miracles. 10:54🃏 We are what we eat: Lainie shares one experience with her food cards and the effect that specific foods have on us. 13:01🍉 Eat your way into releasing, manifesting, and attracting more of what you want: watermelon helps toxin release, and with lime and feta, it makes a great salad. 16:54🇨🇷 Costa Rica is a Blue Zone country: they live longer because of their cultural lifestyles, mindsets, and foods. 19:17☕ Lainie is making a documentary called Hope From The Himalayas about Nepali tea farmers  and putting an end to human trafficking in the region. 20:40🟡 Intention and intuition are so important for every part of your life: to know more about the process and get a free activation, get the book The Energy Healer’s Oracle. 26:31
