    The Common Thread Holding Local Business Owners Back from Success

    The Common Thread Holding Local Business Owners Back from Success

    Through Theresa’s years of working with entrepreneurs and business owners, she has seen a commonality among those that just can’t seem to gain the success they strive for: they think they’ve got to do it all themselves.
     
    There’s this belief in business ownership that you have to be the first one in, the last one to leave, and you have to be on and working 24/7, killing yourself to prove how badly you want to see success. But the truth is, burning yourself out like this will get you the opposite effect.
     
    To truly be successful without sacrificing your entire life, the most important thing you can do is to build a team of amazing individuals who can help you along the way.

    3 Critical Ways to Boost Productivity

    3 Critical Ways to Boost Productivity

    Productivity is something we all strive to be better at. We all want to be able to get more done with our limited hours in a day. What some of us may not realize, however, is that being productive isn’t necessarily using every ounce of energy we have to be working nonstop. Instead, peak productivity is learning how to make better use of our time WITHOUT overworking and stressing ourselves out. 

    Getting stuck in the day-to-day grind can make us feel like we’re getting things done, checking off to-do lists. But if these aren’t the right tasks, the ones that are going to move us closer to accomplishing our goals and creating the larger picture, staying “busy” can actually hurt our progress by taking that precious time away from the important stuff. 

    In this week’s episode, Theresa discusses: 

    Planning your week out in advance 
    Breaking goals down into actionable pieces 
    Setting time aside for yourself to accomplish priority tasks 
    Allowing time to just think and let creativity flow is not wasted time 


    To have your own group of like-minded peers that will make you feel less alone and can uplift you and help you grow your business ventures, join Theresa’s waitlist to apply for her very own Local Business Advisory Board. This is going to be a group of people to bounce ideas off of in the hopes of gaining a little more clarity on how to keep moving forward towards the future they want to see for themselves, and for the world.

    If you enjoyed this episode and, in some way, it inspired you to start taking action, I’d love to hear about it and know your biggest take away. Send me a DM on Instagram @theresacantley and let me know what your favorite part was.

    Stop Surviving Your Business and Start Thriving in It

    Stop Surviving Your Business and Start Thriving in It

    It’s been said before and will continue to be said again and again: Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. It takes guts, grit, and a whole lot of believing in yourself and what you want to create.
    You won’t see immediate successes and the money will take a while to break even and get to a place of actually profiting. But if you stick with it and have the right amount of determination to succeed, you can make all of your dreams a reality.
    In today’s episode, Theresa discusses:
    Letting go of trying to do everything yourself
    Finding the right people to help you carry out your goals
    Connecting with your customers and understanding their needs to gain lifelong support
    To have your own group of like-minded peers that will make you feel less alone and can uplift you and help you grow your business ventures, join Theresa’s waitlist to apply for her very own business advisory board.

    How I Handle Loneliness as an Entrepreneur

    How I Handle Loneliness as an Entrepreneur

    Being an entrepreneur can feel quite lonely at times. We’re a very, very small percentage of people that is willing to put themselves and their ideas out there into the world and hope that they like what we have to offer. And that is actually our superpower.
    What we have to remember is that there will always be people who doubt or question what it is you’re doing; these people won’t ever understand.
    Our mindset, our perspective, and our drive to pursue our dreams and accomplish goals are what are going to actually manifest these successes. That, and a little help from some people that DO believe in what we’re trying to create, because we can’t do everything by ourselves, nor should we.
    In this week’s episode, Theresa discusses:
    How she navigates being a business owner and the lonely feeling that comes with it Understanding the realities of entrepreneurship Having the right team of people surrounding you to support and hold you accountable To have your own group of like-minded peers that will make you feel less alone and can uplift you and help you grow your business ventures, join Theresa’s waitlist to apply for her very own business advisory board.
