The Pointless Business Building Mistake You’re Making Podcast

Over the last few months I’ve experienced several exciting breakthroughs in my business.  Yet some of these breakthroughs were immediately followed by “breakdowns” where I found myself seriously doubting my ability to achieve a particular vision or goal that I had set for myself.

Recently I committed to taking a bold stand to be not only “an entrepreneur who lives and loves richly – but to also be someone who is a stand for EVERY entrepreneur living and loving richly.”

The idea behind taking a bold stand is that it’s meant to literally be a stand that you take on.  It’s meant to be a vision that is so all encompassing and filled with possibility that you have to literally re-invent yourself and who you consider yourself to be to experience it.  It’s not an actual place “to get to” – or an end result to achieve.  Rather it’s meant to be a place “to come from” that informs all of your daily actions and decisions…

The Business Vision Statement You’re Not Really Living Podcast

I was interviewing John Yokoyama, owner of the World Famous Pike Place Fish Market, on my weekly talk radio show. It’s widely known that people come from all over the world to watch the fishmongers at the Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle as they toss fish to each other.

They are drawn to the Fish Market because of the fun, playful, boisterous and connecting environment that the fishmongers have created.

From the moment you first step into the market you are instantly greeted by the Pike Place Fish Market energy.

I was a little uncertain as to what to expect from my guest, John Yokoyama. Our previous conversations with each other had been brief and to the point as we discussed logistics about the upcoming radio show. But as John began speaking, I felt a surge of excitement. He had such deep passion and heartfelt conviction that I was instantly won over….

How to Live and “Be” Your Business Vision Statement Podcast

I was wrapping up my radio interview with John Yokoyama, owner of world famous Pike Place Fish Market, when he made, what we call in coaching lingo, a “throw away comment”.

It was just an off-handed comment spoken quite casually – but it was rich with insight. John had been sharing about the process he and his staff went through to uncover their vision of being world famous…

How to Take The First Step To Getting On The Same Financial Page With Your Spouse Podcast

It’s surprising how many couples approach their finances individually as if each person were a sole proprietor in business, making financial decisions on their own, paying all the bills and rarely communicating with their partners about any of it.

I’ve talked to many couples who after many years of frustration and conflict have simply given up on handling financial matters together. They’ve resigned and decided that the conflict, stress and uncertainty are too much for them to try to overcome….

How To Have It All In Your Business And Life Podcast

As much as I wanted to pretend it wasn’t happening – I simply couldn’t. The undeniable truth was that I was experiencing a break down in how I was running my business. I found it ironic that my area of expertise is in helping entrepreneurs master their inner game of time and money and yet here I was feeling completely stuck in my own business around the very thing that I coach others to deal with.

I might have even enjoyed a good laugh at the irony of my situation if I hadn’t been so steeped in my experience.

I was preparing for my weekly meeting with a colleague and mentor of mine when the phone rang. “How’s it going?” my colleague asked. I was feeling too frustrated to respond with a casual, passing comment.

“I’m really stuck,” I confessed, “I’ve set up my business so that I see clients and have all my meetings and calls on certain days of the week and I’m already completely booked. My week feels crunched and I don’t have any extra room in my schedule for setting up additional coaching appointments. I’m committed to having time for my family and focused time for marketing my business. And I don’t know what to do — my schedule is filled to capacity and I’m feeling overwhelmed….”

The Three Laws Of Performance Podcast

* This is an excerpt from the book, “The Three Laws of Performance,” by Steve Zaffron and Dave Logan.  I want to share this excerpt with you because it explains a natural response that happens for many of us in our business and our personal lives.  Read on to find out how you can become more aware of how you’re perceiving a problem in your business, so you can bust through your limiting perceptions and beliefs and shift your situation to create radically different results.

The Secret to Creating A Successful Business That Allows You To Live And Love Richly Podcast

As a young girl growing up I loved throwing parties for my friends and family.  These gatherings cost very little – all that was required was a little time and creativity.

I remember hosting a tea party with my two best girlfriends when we were 15 in Southwest Missouri.  We went to second-hand stores to find dresses and china, and spent weeks discussing and fine-tuning our menu.

3 Money Beliefs That Hold Women Entrepreneurs Back From Growing Their Business – Podcast

In coaching women entrepreneurs to transform their relationship with money in their business, marriage and life, I’ve noticed that there are three common money beliefs that consistently come up that contribute to stress, struggle and overwhelm and ultimately cause them to stay stuck at their current income level…

Belief #1. “I’m not good at making money.”

This was a big belief that held me back for years in my business.  I didn’t relate to being a powerful money creator.  I could only relate to managing money – not creating it…..

The Simple Secret to Having Stress-Free Money Conversations In Your Marriage – Podcast

My husband swore he was right. I just as adamantly swore he was wrong. “No, the fence needs to go right here!” I yelled as I stomped my foot firmly on the ground for added effect.

“I can’t stand it when you don’t to listen to my position! It’s like you’ve already made up your mind and you refuse to hear any other perspective!” He shouted back.

I hated to admit it (and I certainly wasn’t going to in the heat of the moment) but I knew he had a point….
