Empire Building Produktive & NOVA Media

Here at Empire Building, we’re all about building a big business, and more importantly, a bigger life. So today we dive into how to live a big, long, healthy, robust life. We are talking Blue Zones.
Blue Zones are parts of the world where people live the longest. Dan Buettner came up with the term while studying the places that have the highest life expectancy or with the highest proportions of people who reach age 100: Barbagia region of Sardinia; Ikaria, Greece; Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica; Seventh Day Adventists in Loma Linda California; and Okinawa, Japan. 
In this episode, we review the 9 daily habits that Dan identified across these communities. They are: Move naturally, have purpose, down shift, eat to 80% full, stick to a plant-based diet, drink alcohol moderately, belong to a community, put your family first, and find your circle of support.
We dive into the details of each one and talk about how we can find space for them in our own lives as Empire Builders.

The average person makes over a thousand decisions every day. Can you imagine what that means for a person leading an empire? We’re probably making ten times as many decisions as that. Today, Kymber and Sarah dive into “decision fatigue.”
First, we cover the signs of decision fatigue. If you notice you’re reacting to making a decision in these ways, you probably have decision fatigue: Emotionally reacting in a negative way, struggling to concentrate, feeling mentally drained, procrastinating, feeling extremely overwhelmed, or even making impulsive decisions.
So what can we do to reduce decision fatigue? Kymber and Sarah discuss the top 6 keys: Protect your mindset and confidence, decrease the number of decisions you face, make lists and prioritize, lean into delegation, take breaks, practice self-care. 
This episode is going to help you be a better, and happier, Empire Builder.

We had such a great time at the Keller Williams 2024 Family Reunion, we wanted to share it with you! That’s why we’ve made this episode a recording of our panel Q&A session.
We cover everything from tactical advice to sharing meaningful parts in our lives. We talk about finding good tenants (both residential and commercial) and developing strong relationships with them. We talk about mom guilt and favorite books. Probably the most impactful part was when we each answered the question, “Was there a defining moment when you stopped being content with an average life and started striving for next level living? And what were the first steps you took to change?”
The energy in the room was incredible. Tune in and get re-energized with us!

When a lot of people see numbers and math, they run for the hills. If that’s you, take a deep breath– you’re going to get a lot of this episode. Developing the habit of tracking your numbers is critical to wealth-building (we focus on personal wealth, not businesses in this episode). Which numbers? We’re glad you asked…
We talk about your budget, and how to approach it with a positive mindset. We go over how to figure your net worth, and how to slowly increase your assets while decreasing your liabilities. Ever heard of the “financial freedom number?” Well, we discuss that too.
If you automatically have a negative reaction when you hear “numbers” or  “budget” or “math,” this episode is for you. Tracking your numbers can be an empowering, freeing, and positive experience– we tell you how.
