    157. Look Beyond The Bottom Line with Chris Brien

    I am excited to have one of my favorite returning guests back on the show, my husband Chris Brien! If you’ve enjoyed our episodes together in the past, you’re going to love this one and the ones to come! As partners of our evolving construction company Brien Contracting, we think sharing lessons and insights we’ve learned along the way could be beneficial for growing business owners, and even those thinking about going into business with their spouse. Today we will be discussing the strategy of any scale service based businesses thinking beyond the bottom line in certain aspects of their business, returning client relationships and bringing it back to basics so you can focus on what you do best! Main Takeaways of This Episode: [2:00] - What does ‘looking beyond the bottom line’ mean to us in our business? [5:10] - What you should consider before “nickel and diming” your client for minor things that result in you losing trust or credibility. [10:20] - Why over-delivering or taking the cost of a mistake from someone else might be worth it in the long run, and what “adding value” can look like for your customer.  [14:06] - There is a balance of grace and remembering you’re running a business when asking for payment.  [20:10] - Do’s and Don’ts when it comes to forming strong, long lasting client or other service based business relationships.  Past Episodes Mentioned: 49.

    Whether you are a high achiever building your business, reaching new heights in your career or becoming a better leader for your family or team, stewarding and positively directing your mindset is so powerful and can alter your whole day. Today on the podcast I want to share a powerful quote I heard all about how we process our thoughts and receive messages. Of course I’ll also be diving into 3 intentional and actionable ways you can find and utilize the thoughts that do serve you! Let’s take control of that mindset together!  Episode Highlights: • [3:51] - We all have a large range of thoughts daily, but which ones are you letting nourish or affect you? • [6:30] - We each receive messages uniquely based on our experiences and personal outlook, and hearing from others opinions can also change this as well. • [10:43] - It’s natural to automatically jump to thoughts that do not serve you. Here are 3 actionable ways that can help you find the ones that do!  • [11:56] - Reflective questions you can ask yourself when you are struggling with doubtful, uncertain thoughts about what you are capable of and how to set good intentions.  Mentioned:  James Clear Newsletter: https://jamesclear.com/newsletter Shaan Puri 5 Tweet Tuesday: https://shaan.beehiiv.com Let’s get connected on Socials!
