In this episode of Press Pause, we're delving deep into the fascinating world of Growth Mindset.

Navigating the entrepreneurial journey can feel like a rollercoaster, right? Between long hours, endless tasks, and that never-fading desire to outdo yourself, it's easy to feel bound to your office chair. But what if I told you that sometimes, the best way to unlock your full potential is to literally break free from your usual workspace? As an entrepreneur, your office can become both your sanctuary and your cage. Sure, it's where the magic often happens, but it's also where overwhelm, fatigue, and monotony can creep in. Ever caught yourself staring at your screen, feeling like you're hitting a wall, and the fresh ideas have just... stopped flowing? Here's a thought: You're not stuck. You just need a change of scene. When was the last time you allowed yourself to work from a different environment? A park, a cozy café, a local library, or even a quiet corner of your home? The familiar hum of your office may feel safe, but new surroundings can bring about an unexpected clarity that you've been yearning for. Imagine sipping on a fresh brew while drafting your next proposal, or brainstorming while birds chirp in the background. Sounds refreshing doesn't it? This isn't just about aesthetics. It's about giving your overworked mind a fresh playground to explore. It's about rekindling creativity, thinking outside the box (or office), and reigniting passion for your projects. Consider this my personal challenge to you: Dedicate one day this week to work outside of your office. And when you do, pay attention. How does your thought process shift? Do ideas flow more naturally? Is there a spring in your step as you tackle challenges? Being an entrepreneur is about adaptability, innovation, and courage. Your time is now.

Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Intentional Leadership Podcast. On today's episode Graham and I will be talking about the idea of reclaiming joy in your life. Life's challenges often overshadow the joy that once came effortlessly, like it did when you were a child. Remember those carefree days when laughter was abundant, and joy was your default setting? Somewhere along the way, amid work responsibilities, family commitments, and life's curveballs, you've lost touch with that innate joy. Today, I want to help you reconnect with it. Take a moment to reflect on the past month. What moments brought you genuine joy? What made you smile, laugh, or simply feel alive? Was it a work project that ignited your passion? Or perhaps a cherished moment with loved ones? If you're struggling to recall joyous moments, you're not alone. Many business leaders lead lives so packed with obligations that there's little room for joy. Like me, I am guilty of creating a hectic and frenetic schedule. I can do 'just one more thing' before....then at the end of the day I am too exhausted to do something that gives me joy. That's why it's crucial to pause and intentionally carve out space for the things that bring you happiness. Watch today and find fun ways to increase joy in your life! It will make a difference! Remember, you hold the power to design a life you love. It's time to press pause and awaken your joy.
