After witnessing her mother pass away from cancer with unfulfilled dreams, Dr. Neja made a commitment to live fully and stop postponing her purpose. Later, she faced her own diagnosis of aggressive cancer with only a 5% survival rate, which became a turning point for profound healing and transformation.</p><p>Rather than following conventional medical paths alone, Dr. Neja explored a holistic approach, developing what she calls “multidimensional intelligence.” This framework integrates physical, emotional, mental, energetic, and spiritual levels to create alignment, vitality, and sustainable success. She applied these principles not only to heal herself but also to transform her business, allowing it to scale internationally with more ease and flow.</p><p>Central to her teachings are the “Dragon Laws”: cultivating inner peace, thinking beyond conventional limitations, and viewing challenges as opportunities for growth. These principles empower entrepreneurs to break free from burnout, stress, and traditional hustle-driven models.</p><p>This episode encourages listeners to trust their intuition, embrace transformation, and align their life and business with a deeper purpose for lasting success and fulfillment.</p><p> </p><h2>ABOUT DR. NEJA</h2><p>Dr. Neja Zupan is a Global Energy Master and Founder of the Energy Masters Academy, guiding leaders and change makers to understand that inner energy, not strategy, determines how they lead, decide, and create impact.</p><p>Through practical, body based work rooted in nervous system recalibration, emotional clearing, and multidimensional intelligence, she helps leaders release hidden stress patterns and shift from pressure into presence. When energy aligns, vitality rises, decisions clarify, and results unfold with less force and more resonance.</p><p>Her work is grounded in lived truth. After being diagnosed with aggressive Stage III+ cancer and carrying the BRCA gene that had taken multiple women in her family, Dr. Neja chose an inner path of energetic recalibration. Within six months, she was cancer free and fundamentally transformed.</p><p>Today, she empowers leaders to lead from inner authority, embody coherence, and create sustainable impact as an authentic expression of who they are.</p><h2> </h2><h2>GET DR.

Samantha shares her journey from working as a senior paralegal in estate planning and probate to facing a stage three breast cancer diagnosis during COVID. That experience changed everything, leading her to train as an end-of-life doula and eventually expand her work into transformational mindset coaching for professionals facing major personal and career shifts. She explains that change often creates fear, uncertainty, identity disruption, and emotional overwhelm, whether it comes from illness, divorce, job loss, promotion, retirement, relocation, or family transitions.</p><p>Samantha now helps professionals work through both life changes that affect work and work changes that affect life. She highlights common struggles such as imposter syndrome, loss of identity, lack of support, and unconscious limiting beliefs. One of her key strategies is helping clients identify what is truly important about their situation, then digging deeper to uncover the real emotional drivers behind their fear or resistance. This process creates clarity, helps release old patterns, and supports people in stepping into a new identity with greater confidence and authenticity. Samantha’s story is a reminder that transformation often begins where certainty ends.</p><h2> </h2><h2>ABOUT SAMANTHA</h2><p>Samantha Potter is a Transformational Mindset Coach who helps professionals navigating major life transitions reconnect to purpose and inner clarity so they can move forward into their next chapter with joy, resilience, and confidence.</p><p>Her work is grounded in a simple but often overlooked truth: the best time to address regret, unfinished emotional work, and misalignment is not at the end of life, but at moments of change while choice is still alive. Samantha’s coaching philosophy was shaped first through her work as a death doula, supporting local clients and families at the end of life, where unresolved patterns, unspoken truths, and deferred purpose consistently surfaced. Those experiences now inform how she guides clients much earlier in their journeys.</p><p>Samantha’s individual coaching work is offered through The Catalyst Method, a transformational pathway designed to help clients identify and release unconscious blocks, limiting decisions, and emotional patterns that keep them stuck. Within this body of work, offerings range from focused intensives to ongoing coaching, and group programs supporting deep integration, sustainable change, and aligned decision-making across life domains.</p><p>Her energetic and intuitive alignment work is offered through Resonant Catalyst, which complements the mindset coaching by addressing the subtle patterns beneath conscious awareness. This work supports nervous system regulation, energetic coherence, and intuitive clarity, especially during periods of transition, grief, or identity shift.</p><p>For organizations and leadership teams, Samantha offers The Alignment Framework, her small-business consulting practice focused on values alignment, communication integrity, and decision-making under pressure. Drawing on her 25+ year background in transactional law and her advanced training around organizational communication and behavior models, she works with small organizations and professional firms to address values drift and communication breakdown before they become structural risks.</p><p>Across all her work, Samantha brings steady presence, rigorous insight, and deep respect for the pivotal transitions that shape a meaningful life.</p><h2> </h2><h2>GET SAMANTHA'S GENEROUS GIFT</h2><h3><em>Reclaiming What's Yours: Insight and Reflection to Help You Come Home to Yourself</em></h3><h4><strong><a href="https://masteryunleashedpodcast.com/gift-signup/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ACCESS THIS GIFT AND MANY MORE</a></strong></h4><h2> </h2><h2>LINKS SHARED ON THE SHOW</h2><p><a href="https://rubiconsedge.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rubiconsedge.com</a></p><p>Schedule a free 40-minute Clarity Call: <a href="https://rubiconsedge.com/connect#clarity-call" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rubiconsedge.com/connect#clarity-call</a> </p><h2> </h2><h2><strong>ABOUT OUR SHOW</strong></h2><p>Mastery Unleashed is a podcast for success-driven women who want to empower their thoughts, design their dream businesses, and build beautiful lives that are aligned with their destinies—hosted by Bestselling Author and Business Strategist Christie Ruffino.</p><p>Each episode features today’s top influencers and entrepreneurs on the rise as they share empowering stories and ninja tips meant to become the FUEL that will ignite a positive change in YOUR life and the lives of others.</p><h2></h2><h2><strong>ABOUT OUR FREE GIFT VAULT</strong></h2><p>GET THIS GIFT AND MANY MORE HERE: <a href="https://masteryunleashedpodcast.com/gift-signup/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://masteryunleashedpodcast.com/gift-signup/</a></p>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On this powerful episode of the Mastery Unleashed Podcast, Christie Ruffino interviews Samantha Potter about navigating life’s biggest transitions with courage, clarity, and self-trust.

Casey followed the conventional advice of getting an education and a stable job, yet found herself unfulfilled despite her achievements. Her turning point came when she stepped out of her comfort zone, discovered entrepreneurship, and connected with a mentor who introduced her to a new way of living and working.</p><p>Casey now helps women—especially those seeking purpose, faith alignment, and financial freedom—build businesses that combine passion and profit. She emphasizes that true fulfillment comes from aligning your work with your values rather than following societal expectations. The conversation highlights the limitations of traditional education, the importance of alternative learning, and the need to take calculated risks to create a meaningful life.</p><p>They also discuss financial literacy, encouraging listeners to seek trustworthy advisors and understand modern wealth strategies. Casey shares practical advice for those feeling stuck: identify what you truly want, find the right mentor, and take action before everything feels “perfect.”</p><p>The episode concludes with her Wealth Archetype Quiz, a tool designed to help entrepreneurs gain clarity and make decisions aligned with their goals.</p><h2></h2><h2>ABOUT CASEY</h2><p>Casey McDonald is a faith-based business mentor, speaker, and strategist who helps established entrepreneurs scale profitable, values-aligned businesses while preserving harmony between faith, family, and financial growth.

Casey followed the conventional advice of getting an education and a stable job, yet found herself unfulfilled despite her achievements. Her turning point came when she stepped out of her comfort zone, discovered entrepreneurship, and connected with a mentor who introduced her to a new way of living and working.</p><p>Casey now helps women—especially those seeking purpose, faith alignment, and financial freedom—build businesses that combine passion and profit. She emphasizes that true fulfillment comes from aligning your work with your values rather than following societal expectations. The conversation highlights the limitations of traditional education, the importance of alternative learning, and the need to take calculated risks to create a meaningful life.</p><p>They also discuss financial literacy, encouraging listeners to seek trustworthy advisors and understand modern wealth strategies. Casey shares practical advice for those feeling stuck: identify what you truly want, find the right mentor, and take action before everything feels “perfect.”</p><p>The episode concludes with her Wealth Archetype Quiz, a tool designed to help entrepreneurs gain clarity and make decisions aligned with their goals.</p><h2></h2><h2>ABOUT CASEY</h2><p>Casey McDonald is a faith-based business mentor, speaker, and strategist who helps established entrepreneurs scale profitable, values-aligned businesses while preserving harmony between faith, family, and financial growth.

Russ shares his journey from struggling bartender and aspiring actor to building a $100M+ coaching empire by flipping the traditional low-ticket ascension model on its head. He dives deep into the difference between selling information vs. delivering transformation, emphasizing the value of authentic client results, screening and qualifying leads, and building a scalable business machine.</p><p>Russ reveals how high-ticket programs (starting at $5K) outperform low-ticket offers by attracting committed clients, creating real transformations, and generating predictable revenue. His simple 3-step model—paid ads → masterclass → sales call—remains the fastest, most effective way to convert strangers into premium buyers. He also shares insights on pricing, operations, team-building, and overcoming mindset blocks, including the “$100K/month freakout” many new high earners experience.</p><p>Listeners are encouraged to ditch pitchy sales tactics, stop over-optimizing broken models, and instead build lean, client-focused coaching offers. Russ also shares free access to his <em>Clients on Demand Training Vault</em>, loaded with tools to help entrepreneurs master high-ticket enrollment.</p><h2><br></h2><h2>ABOUT RUSS</h2><p>Russ is the founder and CEO of Clients on Demand.

Russ shares his journey from struggling bartender and aspiring actor to building a $100M+ coaching empire by flipping the traditional low-ticket ascension model on its head. He dives deep into the difference between selling information vs. delivering transformation, emphasizing the value of authentic client results, screening and qualifying leads, and building a scalable business machine.</p><p>Russ reveals how high-ticket programs (starting at $5K) outperform low-ticket offers by attracting committed clients, creating real transformations, and generating predictable revenue. His simple 3-step model—paid ads → masterclass → sales call—remains the fastest, most effective way to convert strangers into premium buyers. He also shares insights on pricing, operations, team-building, and overcoming mindset blocks, including the “$100K/month freakout” many new high earners experience.</p><p>Listeners are encouraged to ditch pitchy sales tactics, stop over-optimizing broken models, and instead build lean, client-focused coaching offers. Russ also shares free access to his <em>Clients on Demand Training Vault</em>, loaded with tools to help entrepreneurs master high-ticket enrollment.</p><h2><br></h2><h2>ABOUT RUSS</h2><p>Russ is the founder and CEO of Clients on Demand.

Julie recounts how her initial skepticism about homeschooling evolved into a passionate mission after meeting Christy at a conference. With Christy’s unwavering support, Julie embraced a new path that led her to become a published author and empowered her to guide homeschool moms through the challenges of unconventional education.</p><p>Drawing from her background as a critical care nurse and her personal experiences with her children’s diverse learning needs—including those of special needs children—Julie explains that homeschooling isn’t about replicating traditional classrooms at home. Instead, it’s about nurturing independent thinkers and fostering a mindset that values flexibility, creativity, and real-world skills. She introduces her CARE framework—Create your vision, Assess your variables, Restructure your schedule, Evaluate, and Encourage—to help parents navigate the journey with clarity and confidence. Julie’s heartfelt story and practical advice underscore the rewards of a debt-free, personalized education that equips children with essential life skills, making her a motivational and actionable message.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>ABOUT JULIE</h2><p>Julie Caprera didn't expect to be a pioneer. In her early years, her Norwegian Lutheran family echoed Lake Wobegon of Garrison Keillor fame. Her father went to work for the Apollo space program, moving the family to Cocoa Beach, FL. Life is bathing suits, T-shirts, and flip-flops when one lives six blocks from the beach. Julie earned her BSN at Florida State University. Being a member of the FSU Student Circus was great therapy during nursing school. Next came 15 years as a critical care nurse. Marrying Rob Caprera brought Julie to Massachusetts, which was quite a culture shock after Florida.</p><p>As new parents in the 1980s, Julie and Rob became pioneers in the emerging world of homeschooling. They didn't plan to be so out of the box, but doors kept opening. Life became an adventure of learning opportunities. Pioneers try new things to find the best match. For the Capreras, homeschooling included lots of national and international travel. Julie's search for personal mentors led her to help new homeschooling families. Helping others became the Capreras' passion over the next three decades. Julie and Rob served over two decades on the MassHOPE Board of Directors. Julie was also a regular homeschool conference speaker. An unexpected turn came when Rob's mother moved in with them due to her Alzheimer's. Homeschooling continued as they pioneered multi-generational living. For eight and a half years, Julie served as primary caregiver. A side benefit of homeschooling has been studying art and working in oils and acrylics.</p><p>To better mentor more moms, Julie became a student. She then entered the world of online entrepreneurship. A recent out-of-the-box challenge was completing 75 HARD on her first attempt.

Jordan shared his inspiring journey from struggling entrepreneur to achieving monumental success. Growing up in a modest Chicago suburb, Jordan discovered the concept of residual income through a garage sale book, which catalyzed his pursuit of entrepreneurial ventures.

His books, “Beach Money” and “Better Than Beach Money,” reflect his business philosophies and have influenced many outside the direct selling realm.

The future looked bleak.</p> <p>Today, he is one of the highest-paid network marketers in the world as the #1affiliatee with the legacy company Promptings. He cracked the code. His best-selling book “Beach Money” has sold over 1 million copies, and 100% of the profits from his book are donated to an organization that helps entrepreneurs in developing countries start small businesses through Microloans. He then published a second book, “Better Than Beach Money!”</p> <p>Jordan also founded “Momentum Makers” books and events with his business partner and publisher, Tony Ferraro. Through this project, they published ten collaboration books filled with ideas for building a successful online/offline business, including titles in branding, marketing, social media, leadership, etc. Their mission together is to bring credibility to the profession and instill belief In the network marketing model as a way to create a legitimate residual income lifestyle of growth and freedom without having to invest a lot of money and hire a bunch of employees.</p> <p>He has been featured in over 100 books and has been a guest on over 300 podcasts. He has spoken on stages with Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, Pitbull, and Eric Worre.</p> <p>Jordan splits his time between 2 mountain homes, a condo on the Vegas Strip, and of course, the beach!</p> <p>Six years ago, he decided to get his helicopter pilot’s license for fun.</p> <p>Jordan’s message is a message of hope, simplicity, and limitless opportunity.</p> <p>Jordan believes that when you continue to send good things out into the world and treat people right, good things will come your way.</p>   GET JORDAN’S GENEROUS GIFT <em>Free Promptings Process Ebook</em> <p>Discover an Ancient Principle Driven by a Modern Process that Attracts Prosperity and Connects you with People, Passion, and Purpose.

Shiraz discusses the concept of reality addiction, where individuals unconsciously cling to negative patterns or beliefs due to the emotional payoffs they receive, such as sympathy, attention, or validation from others.</p> <p>Shiraz explains that every persistent problem in one's life is a solution to an emotional issue they are avoiding. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing these underlying emotional problems and consciously choosing to break free from them. He also delves into the science of emotion and its impact on our physical reality, illustrating how our cells become addicted to specific emotional states, which can manifest as physical conditions or life circumstances.</p> <p>To transform one's reality, Shiraz suggests a three-step approach: acknowledging that every consistent problem is an emotional solution, understanding and breaking free from reality addiction, and choosing new, positive addictions or emotional states to cultivate. He shares personal anecdotes and client stories to illustrate how shifting one's emotional state and beliefs can lead to profound changes in their life and reality.</p> <p>Shiraz offers a gift to the audience, a series of audio exercises designed to help listeners break the pattern of short attention spans and cultivate the ability to maintain focus and calmness in various situations. These exercises aim to enhance one's ability to stay present, increase focus, and attract positive experiences and people into their lives.</p> <p>Throughout the episode, Christie and Shiraz explore the power of the mind in shaping our experiences and the importance of taking responsibility for our emotional states and the realities we create. They encourage listeners to engage in self-reflection, challenge their existing beliefs, and consciously choose the emotions and realities they wish to experience.</p>   ABOUT SHIRAZ  <p>Shiraz Baboo is a multi-award-winning author, international speaker, and reality interventionist. He is known for helping people to rewrite their reality and overcome challenges in their lives using what he calls Energetic Magic.

Breaking free from the clutches of alcohol in May 2019, Ruby’s triumph ignited a cascade of positive changes — shedding pounds, reclaiming vitality, and achieving long-held dreams. Today, Ruby Williams stands tall as a beacon of hope and an Alcohol Freedom Coach, driven by a resolute mission: to guide those who want to change their relationship with alcohol and move to a path of profound transformation.</p> <p>With the potent tools of the This Naked Mind coaching methodology at her disposal, Ruby masterfully wields the art of questioning during her sessions. These dynamic exchanges have the potential to catalyze shifts in mindset, leading to a balance where alcohol assumes a marginal role. By unshackling individuals from the grip of alcohol, Ruby empowers them to embrace possibilities, discovering passions they might never have otherwise explored.</p> <p>With nearly two decades as a wine industry professional, Ruby’s past is marked by a relentless cycle of daily drinking as a coping tool for stress. Wrestling with drinking more than intended, she found herself ensnared in a struggle that defied self-rescue, exacerbated by the inseparable ties between her identity and the wine culture. Drawing from her personal journey, Ruby specializes in guiding women who’ve grappled with alcohol-induced weight gain following bariatric surgery. Armed with empathy born from her own experiences, she guides transformation.</p> <p>Ruby’s dedication extends to crafting lives enriched with fulfillment, vitality, and harmony — liberated from alcohol’s stranglehold. Residing just an hour north of San Francisco, she is the proud mother of an adult son, and along with her dog and chickens, she finds gratitude in daily meditation and yoga practice.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>  LINKS SHARED ON THE SHOW  <p><a href= "https://www.FreedomRenegadeCoaching.com">www.FreedomRenegadeCoaching.com</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> ABOUT OUR SHOW <p>Mastery Unleashed (formerly Overcoming Mediocrity) is a podcast for success-driven women who want to empower their thoughts, design their dream businesses, and build beautiful lives that are aligned with their destinies—hosted by Bestselling Author and Business Strategist Christie Ruffino.</p> <p>Each episode features today’s top influencers and entrepreneurs on the rise as they share empowering stories and ninja tips meant to become the FUEL that will ignite a positive change in YOUR life and the lives of others.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>    ABOUT OUR FREE GIFT VAULT    GET THIS GIFT AND MANY MORE HERE: <a href= "https://masteryunleashedpodcast.com/gift-signup/">https://masteryunleashedpodcast.com/gift-signup/</a>     ]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[ ABOUT TODAY’S SHOW <p>On today’s show, Ruby talks about discovering joy beyond drinks this holiday season and the different ways to cope with it.

SUSIE  <p>Dr. Susie pursued a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology and graduated from Arizona State University with plans to help people change their lives through health and fitness. She continued her passion for health and helping people as she started her own fitness consulting business at 22 years old in Boca Raton, Florida. She consulted corporations to help get their employees healthier, therefore saving 100’s of thousands of dollars in insurance premiums. She became acutely aware that there were A LOT of people who needed more than fitness consulting! One day, she met a young woman who was a chiropractor, and this conversation changed the trajectory of Dr. Susie’s life. She decided to pursue a degree in chiropractic and never turned back!</p> <p>Dr. Susie’s passion is to coach and encourage people, whether in the office or in packed conference rooms, to decide to be a better version of themselves. As a health coach and motivational speaker, she encourages people, through sharing her own life challenges, never to give up on their passion to be better! She likes to do one-on-one sessions with people and encourages them to get out of their comfort zones so they can live the life of their dreams. She uses her degrees, years of experience, and personal stories to encourage people NOT to settle for less than their dream life! Giving back to her community is also one of Dr. Susie’s passions by speaking to students, professional organizations, women’s groups, and churches. You can find her in Wheaton volunteering at various events and helping people in the community.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>  LINKS SHARED ON THE SHOW  <p><a href="http://www.Facebook.com/Susie.Warden.73" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">www.Facebook.com/Susie.Warden.73</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.Instagram.com/DrSusieAdvancedHealthcare">www.Instagram.com/DrSusieAdvancedHealthcare</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.YouTube.com/@Dr.SusieWarden3816">www.YouTube.com/@Dr.SusieWarden3816</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.AdvancedHealth.us">www.AdvancedHealth.us</a></p> <p><a href= "http://www.LinkedIn.com/in/AdvancedHealth">www.LinkedIn.com/in/AdvancedHealth</a></p> <p><a href= "https://linktr.ee/DrSusieWarden">https://linktr.ee/DrSusieWarden</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p>   ABOUT OUR SHOW <p>Mastery Unleashed (formerly Overcoming Mediocrity) is a podcast for success-driven women who want to empower their thoughts, design their dream businesses, and build beautiful lives that are aligned with their destinies—hosted by Bestselling Author and Business Strategist Christie Ruffino.</p> <p>Each episode features today’s top influencers and entrepreneurs on the rise as they share empowering stories and ninja tips meant to become the FUEL that will ignite a positive change in YOUR life and the lives of others.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>    ABOUT OUR FREE GIFT VAULT    GET THIS GIFT AND MANY MORE HERE: <a href= "https://masteryunleashedpodcast.com/gift-signup/">https://masteryunleashedpodcast.com/gift-signup/</a>           ]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[   ABOUT TODAY’S SHOW <p>On today’s show, Dr. Susie talks about the fact that if you follow her POSTUREUP checklist, you will not only get through it, but you will come out the other side a stronger, better version of yourself more equipped for SUCCESS and prosperity!!</p>    <p> </p> <p> </p>  ABOUT DR.

While that may make for a more inspirational story, it simply isn’t true.</p> <p>He did, however, win the Dale Carnegie Highest Achievement award as a high school student and was one of the youngest trainers for that organization. He graduated from Northwestern University with a B.S. in speech and a concentration in T.V. and film.</p> <p>Doug is an investor, brand specialist, and an accomplished writer, having contributed to the Chicago Tribune, Daily Herald, MSN Money, Yahoo Finance, and the Seattle Times and has authored several #1 best-selling books.</p> <p>He has been honored to share the stage with Craig Duswalt, Robert Kiyosaki, Gary Goldstein, Ron Shimony, Mike Lafido, Jane Garvey, and dozens of other experts and authors.</p> <p>Doug has been featured in Bloomberg, CBS News, the Daily Café, and dozens of radio stations. A former radio host himself on ABC radio in Chicago, Doug had the first real estate radio program in Chicago.

That’s because she learned from her mom that learning and experiencing something new every day keeps your mind and heart young, vibrant, and alive to possibility!</p> <p> </p> How to Connect with Ann <p><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/SalesAndSuccessForHeartCenteredEntrepreneurs" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">www.facebook.com/groups/SalesAndSuccessForHeartCenteredEntrepreneurs</a></p> <p><a href="https://soulpreneursuccesscode.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://soulpreneursuccesscode.com</a></p> <p> </p> Get Ann’s Gift Below <a id="emoji-info-url" class="ek_link" href= "https://emojikeyboard.org/copy/White_Down_Pointing_Backhand_Index_Emoji_%F0%9F%91%87?utm_source=extlink"> 👇</a> <p><a class="et_pb_button et_pb_button_0 et_pb_bg_layout_light" href="https://overcomingmediocrity.org/podcast-gift-page/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">GET THIS GIFT AND MANY MORE HERE!</a></p> <p> </p>]]></content:encoded><link><![CDATA[https://masteryunleashedpodcast.com/]]></link><guid isPermaLink="false">209ea401-08df-43c2-8924-98289839adfc</guid><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/c1ba7929-7d7c-48da-9cc3-e051dd3d0b9f/overcoming-medioccrity-podcast-square-ann.jpg"/><pubDate>Wed, 20 Apr 2022 11:00:04 -0400</pubDate><enclosure url="https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/fba06357-b57b-43f7-b676-6a7fd917b920/82-ann-h.mp3" length="49304704" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:duration>34:14</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><itunes:episode>82</itunes:episode><podcast:episode>82</podcast:episode></item><item><title>OM81: Steve Feld | Your Message is Money!

While living in Germany, Kandi Lee traveled across the continent, performing on television and radio, bringing her natural American talent to a different culture. Kandi moved to “Music City U.S.A.” to further her music career, and Nashville, TN, marked the ground for her footprint in the industry and the magic milestone of becoming a Mom. This new responsibility was an incredible gift. Kandi knew she only had one opportunity to become the mother her child deserved. She put her recording dreams on hold and rerouted her family of two to Las Vegas, NV, to be closer to the family.</p> <p>In 1995, Kandi was introduced to a completely new world. Kandi attended a series of personal success, coaching, and leadership classes where she learned how to master a success mindset, overcome limiting beliefs, transform herself from the inside out. As fate would have it, this decision changed her life forever. Kandi has been trained by some of the best coaches in the industry, including Mark Victor Hansen, Jack Canfield, Lisa Nichols, Michael Beckwith, and Bob Proctor, to name a few.</p> <p>In 2004, Kandi had a vision to take her coaching and training experience and create her own company. When she looked at her bank account, Kandi had only $1.11 to start her business. Kandi took the $1.11 and put it in an envelope under her pillow, and from that moment on became a Maniac on a Mission. Immediately, Kandi felt both fear and excitement; she had a paradigm shift in the purpose and vision for her life and launched the One-Eleven Network, which helps sm biz owners and entrepreneurs id and overcome the chokeholds to success.</p> <p>Despite her numerous awards and recognition, Kandi feels her biggest achievement is reaching these goals while being a single Mom to her daughter, who is now an incredible asset, and bringing her expertise as a partner in The One-Eleven Network.</p> <p>Kandi found herself able to think and go beyond her personal and professional limitations. As a result, this new view of possibility had an immediate and powerful impact on who Kandi was, and she quickly fell in love with being a part of an industry that had the power to move, touch and shift the trajectory of someone’s life. Kandi Lee and The One-Eleven Network have been recognized for multiple awards, including: Count Me In: Make Mine A Million Dollar Business Award, the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce Sterling Award, and a finalist for the Greater Phoenix Area Chamber of Commerce Athena Award. The One-Eleven Network has partnered with multiple charitable organizations, including The Ronald McDonald House, The Salvation Army, The Sojourner Center, Gabriel’s Angels, Shape Up U.S., NAWBO Mentoring Program, A.P.S. – AAME Mentoring Program, (AASK) Specialized Programed because of their commitment to making a difference to mankind.</p> <p>Kandi Lee has also been a featured guest on numerous television and radio programs across the globe, including The Phoenix Suns – National Anthem, Miss Universe Celebrity Guest, Caesars Palace Roman Princess, Legends in Concert – Patsy Cline and Reba McIntire Impersonator, Farrington Productions Regular Performer-Las Vegas, CNBC’s The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, AZ-TV 7, KVBC-Las Vegas, KSVY-Sonoma, SparkstheFlame, KUIK-AM 1360 and V101.1.

Elaine Gibson is an extraordinary woman, cited as one of the world’s top ten natural cancer survivors by Extreme Health Radio (#4), having beaten Stage IV Cancer without traditional protocols. Today Elaine, the founder of Renewed Living, is a published author, sought-after motivational speaker, workshop facilitator and private coach.</p> <p>For the last several years, Elaine Gibson, founder of Renewed Living and the creator of the Extraordinary Living Made Easy method, has trained and coached high-achieving men and women in a new way of approaching their lifestyles by harnessing the power of positive intention to regain their zest and step into their own version of extraordinary. She works from the principle that it is possible, through natural clean living, to counteract the stressful and health-damaging effects that modern living has on the body, mind, and relationships.

Anne grew up in the Pacific NW watching Orca whales. She studied Biology and Animal Behavior at a university. She has worked as a zookeeper and trained wild animals to present in school assemblies teaching wildlife appreciation and respect. She also trained animals, both wild and domestic for the TV & film industry for over 20 years.</p> <p>Anne was married to an Indigenous man from the Emberá tribe for 15 years. The tribe still lives in traditional villages in the jungles of Panama. She conducted tours to the Emberá village to meet her family, whom she says, live in true Unity-Community and have the Quality of Life the rest of the world is searching for.</p> <p>Anne is a certified practitioner of Dolphin Energy Healing, a deeply respectful form of energetic healing.</p> <p>She pioneered the whale watching industry in Panama in 2007.

Lover of life and all of the simple things that make it great, Taren Sartler works hard when she has to so she can play hard when she wants to and teaches others to do the same. Taren is a “mom-preneur” and recovered workaholic with over twenty years of sales and self-employment experience. All while raising two amazing children as a single mom.  Crying in her car after missing one of her son’s baseball games, she began her journey of self-employment. To her, success was running her business and supporting the family without having to ever miss a concert, play-date, or baseball game again. She knew the only way to realize that success was to master habits around how she managed her time. You know how it is, noon concert at the elementary school (why is that a thing??) then practice for one kid when school lets out at 2:40 and a game for the other at 4… different sides of town of course. Well add in not having a second driver and running a business; she’s learned a thing or two.  Taren now runs two successful businesses and her mission is to empower other women and busy professionals to find their own success, whatever their definition, by implementing a foundation of strong habits and streamlining processes. She won’t promise that you’ll never be late again, but she will promise to make you more productive in your work, more efficient in your day, and teach you to make more money in less time so you can get back to enjoying life.</p> <p>Tick Tock… It’s About Time!</p> <p> </p> <p>How to Connect with Taren</p> <p><a href="http://www.instagram.com/calendarguru" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.instagram.com/calendarguru</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/calendarguru" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.facebook.com/calendarguru</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.ticktockitstime.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">www.ticktockitstime.com</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Today’s Podcast</p> <p>This week I sit down with Taren Sartler.

Amber Champagne-Matos, the owner and founder of multiple beauty businesses, believes in doing what you love; not what you once loved. Amber is a licensed esthetician, skincare entrepreneur, and former Senior National Educator for Benefit Cosmetics!  During her career with Benefit, she traveled the country extensively and trained thousands of other estheticians. She also wrote groundbreaking educational content for the company, both nationally and internationally, contributing to Benefit's remarkable corporate growth. To put that in perspective, Benefit employs more than 6,000 estheticians in 59 countries across five continents and is part of the world-renowned luxury brand, Louis Vuitton. Her experience with this major cosmetics brand gave her the edge and knowledge she needed to confidently face the world of beauty and dare to dream.  In the last year alone, Amber has established three interconnecting businesses, created a regularly visited beauty blog and shop, began to develop an up-and-coming skincare line, and became a Best Selling Author. This year, she is working on a second book, getting ready to launch her skincare line, expanding into other territories, and helping other Estheticians build their dream businesses.  Amber has lived on both coasts, but she is a true "East Coast" girl at heart.

His forthcoming book is called “The Gifted Leader-How to Grow Your Business for More Profit & Freedom! “</p> <p>What Is Your Story? How Did You Get to Where You Are Now?</p> <p>I like to start in high school, in how I was involved in so many things. In high school, I couldn't wait to get out. I couldn't wait for my life to begin. I wanted to see the world. I came from a family that really didn't have a lot of money growing up. I knew college wasn't an option. So, I enlisted in the Marines when I was still in my senior year of high school. I worked that summer and then left for the Marines in October and never looked back. I spent four and a half years on active duty. It's funny because the last guy I worked for was my boss in the Marines was an alcoholic. So, I got off of active duty, and I started as an apprentice in a body shop in Arlington Heights at the time. And it turned out, as fate would have it, that he was an alcoholic as well. I remember he had a company meeting. And I think there were 11 or 12 of us at the time. And he stood up. And now this is 1981. He stood up and said, I'd like to make $50,000 more for me this year, but I can't afford to give anybody a raise. So I stood up and said, I want my check. I'm done. A bunch of other guys were like, Are you crazy? What are you doing? I said, did you hear what he just said? He just told all of us that he expects us to work harder, and we get nothing. It's all about him.</p> <p>At that point, I broke out on my own, and I literally started in a one-car garage that had no heat, no running water. I started with $500 in my toolbox. That was almost 40 years ago; Sharp Auto Body is still going. I now have 10 employees, and it was funny because I never really set out to be in business for myself. I went into business because I was going to go back to school full time. I've been working full time during the day and going to college at night. And then I saw an ad in the paper, and there was an ambulance company looking to hire a body man. I called up, and I said, you don't want somebody coming into this building where all your drivers are sleeping overnight and fixing your ambulances from accidents with Bondo, dust, paint fumes, and all that stuff. I ended up contracting their work, and at that point, I decided to go into business full time and give up college. And as they say, the rest is history. In that process, I started a towing company, bought a mechanical repair shop, sold the mechanical repair shop, sold the towing company, still have the body shop, and started my speaking consulting business. So, you know, there's 40 years in there, but that's kind of how it got started.</p> <p>I think that I still have wanderlust. I still love to travel. For me, some people are really drained by traveling. It energizes me. I think of it as an adventure. I love to see new places, experience new things, new cultures. I've always been curious, and I think that when you're curious and afraid to try new things, you discover all kinds of things that you're good at and things that you like to do and have fun at.</p> <p>Tell us a little bit about how you got into the world of speaking?</p> <p>I went to a one day Jack Canfield event for personal development and personal growth. They were taking applications for this program called, Train the Trainer. And to be honest with you, up to this point in my life, I didn't even know that professional speaking or motivational speaking was a thing. But I went to this event, and I filled out an application. They said they were taking applications from people worldwide and would give you a call to interview you. Well, I never got a call. So I figured they didn't pick me. Then, one day, I get a phone call, and they say you've been accepted. So, I go to the program; it's a year-long program. I was selected without an interview because I was one of two veterans they took into the program because Jack Canfield wanted his work to get back to the veteran community. I ended up doing a total of 20 years in the Marines, but the rest of it was inactive. I was in the reserves. I did active duty for 14 months in Desert Storm.</p> <p>During this year-long training called Train the Trainer, a woman named Lisa Nichols came in and spoke to us and told us her story. And she had us laughing; she had us crying, she had us laughing, she had us crying. And at the end of the story, she said, I shared my story because I want you to know your story matters. And at that moment, it was like the sky parted. And God struck me with a bolt of lightning. And I realized at that moment that everything that had happened to me in my life, all of it, had happened for a reason.</p> <p>I was abused as a child, and then I did time in the Marines and started a business and all that stuff. And so when that hit me, you had to do homework. And one of the things you had to do in this training was you had to go back home because it was three weeks of live training with Jack Canfield in a room; he ended up with 86 people from literally around the world. And a majority of them, I'd say 90% of them, were already business coaches, consultants, or speakers of some sort. And here's Louis being The Body Shop guy thinking, man, I'm in the deep end of the pool without a life preserver. And so you had to do at least a half-day seminar, and you had to do a keynote speech. So, a friend of mine got like 50 business owners in a room, and I went out. It's weird because it was like I've been doing it my whole life. And to this day, I tell people, I don't get nervous; I get really excited for it to start, right. But I don't get nervous. I don't have butterflies. I don't get queasy or lightheaded or any of that stuff. I just get really excited for it to start.</p> <p>I've also had some experiences. I play guitar, and I've played in bands for the last 35 or 40 years as well. And I've had nights on stage when people have come up to me after a set or at the end of the night and said, Man, you were awesome tonight. You were playing out of your head. And I tell them I was because it didn't come from me, it came through me, and the music just flowed through me. So I can tell you that every time I speak, it usually takes four or five minutes, and then for me, it's the Holy Spirit. You can call it whatever you want. But it just moves through me, and I tell people that if you saw me do a keynote speech, and you wanted to interview me immediately after, and held a gun to my head and asked me to repeat it, you'd have to kill me. Because I practice really hard, I research, live what I talk about, have a PowerPoint, and prepare like everybody else, but I just let it go once it starts. And that's when the magic and the miracles happen.</p> <p>Who Are the Clients That You Work With?</p> <p>I normally consult businesses and corporations that are looking to improve their proficiencies to get profit and time.</p> <p>What Is the Free Gift You Are Sharing with the Audience?I want to share w1 strategies on developing and creating your unique selling proposition. With everybody And that's going to be a free resource.

Regina has a degree from the Art and Fashion Institute of Philadelphia in Fashion. She is a podcaster, plus-size model, personal branding image consultant, and speaker. She can be heard on Teatime Midlife Edition podcast, a weekly teacup conversation about midlife victories, struggles, and how you’re going to live your best life now in the community.</p> <p>Please Tell Our Audience About Your JourneyAt one point, I had to make a bunch of choices. I could do the nine to five, or I could live my dream and just take chances. I chose to do both. I didn't even choose to do one or the other. I said I can have it all, why not? I started modeling or going on the journey for modeling. That was one thing. And then at one point, I became a Ford Model. That was one of the journeys that I took. Another journey that I took was around podcasting. I got to the place in mid-life where I was like, is this all there is? Is there anything else? Or can I create something? The pandemic opened up an opportunity to be heard and seen in mid-life. And that's how I started with the podcast, Teatime Midlife Edition.</p> <p>Can You Tell Us What Teatime Midlife Edition Podcast Is All About?It is for women in midlife. Sometimes women can be alone in midlife. It shouldn’t be that way. Women should be in a community in mid-life, and it is a teacup conversation. It takes about 20 minutes, once a week, for the first season. The second season may look a little different, but we talk about the struggles, the victories, all kinds of things. In a community, supporting one another is a key to feeling fulfilled, and having a good sense of life. Feeling like life is working, because you have someone you can rely on and you could share your victories with. That's what it’s about.</p> <p>How Do You Overcome the Challenges of Having Difficult Conversations Over the Airwaves?If I want to make a difference in the world, I have to be the example. If I'm going to be vulnerable, then I assert that other people will be vulnerable. I can't ask one to do more than what I'm willing to do. Unfortunately, my father just passed away, and I shared the different phases of grief. Being open and honest like that. I'm not under the illusion that I'm the only one going through it. I feel like if I make it okay, for me to share myself, maybe you'll be okay with sharing yourself.</p> <p>What Can You Say to the Mid-Lifers Listening Right Now to Pour Into Them?I do stand in the quote, if it's to be it's up to me. You’re going to have to participate in your own rescue. That is the real deal. Believe that this too shall pass. Those are the three things that I use to move forward in any challenging situation. It’s important to be in a community. You have someone who’s the support that can help prop you up if necessary. Most of all, someone to hold your hand or comfort you when it's down and say it's going to be okay. In a community, you will get everything you need, because there's someone who's already been through it, going through it, or missed it. But the reality is you'll get everything you need in a community.</p> <p>I Heard You Have Some Great Things Coming up That You're Putting Together. Could You Tell Us a Little Bit About That?I am starting a curriculum for women in mid-life. It's helpful in midlife because there's a point where you get into a fashion rut. There's an opportunity to rebrand yourself or reinvent yourself in your image. And my course is called Model Perfect Woman. Every woman is model-perfect with style. I want to reach a lot of women, where they get to reinvent themselves and see their image newly. It’s not about trying something old and making it new. It's about authentically being yourself. Having your image represent you from your core authentic self. You've always wanted to do it. You just couldn't see how. People get stuck in past images. They get into a fashion rut. They loved themselves 10 years ago, and they looked fabulous. Everything was perfect. And now look, it's mid-life and they don't know what's next and how to bridge from 10 years ago.</p> <p>If You Were to Describe Yourself With Three Different Words, What Would Those Three Words Be?Persisted. Fun. Loving.</p> <p>What Is Your All-Time Favorite Business Look?I love a simple blazer jacket and a simple dress. It could be zip up the back, knee-length. I do like a little black dress or a patterned dress with a jacket. That's a simple business look.</p> <p>What Is Your All-Time Favorite Business Book?"Who Moved My Cheese?"

And I swear, I believe that our destiny is written ahead of us, and somehow, we come into this life with our soul purpose and soul path. And we feel like we are writing it all up and then come into this lifetime, and then we live it. And if we live true to our soul, then we have every day for fun, or we feel at ease, or balanced, right. But if we do something that was not our destiny, or wasn't our, you know, expertise, then work is work. Like then you feel like you really working all day and one of my friends who is also a colleague of mine, she said, I made my passion as my profession. And I never worked a single day. And I thought that was very interesting when she said that. Because when you're really, isn't it true when you do what you were supposed to do? I mean, just you could be different for every single person, right? But if you do what, like for example, you do right now we're getting all the women together, you don't work a single day, right? And it's the same for me. I'm in a holistic field. And I wasn't meant to be in a holistic field at all, when I started, went for school, and started a career and college in the finance world because I actually thought my destiny was making as much money as possible, as quickly as possible, and then retire early. So, then I can have fun, right? I worked really hard got into a great, great job. Very early, early age 25 in a big, pretty much main world, right? I mean, there wasn't like 25-year olds running around, you know, like me. But I was honored that I was getting, you know, moves to have this amazing career. And it was the American Express bank in Vienna. So, I still remember I had so much fun buying my expensive, like suits and, purses and march to work, right. But then there was one thing that was missing, I had no fun at that job. I had zero fun. I was good at it, but I wasn't loving it. And so, there was this problem that I was talking about to friends that it didn't show like mentally, and because then I had fun on the weekend. But then it actually made itself clear that I wasn't on my right path, Physically. I became so sick constantly in my digestive system, it didn't matter what I was eating, I felt sick, nauseous, almost vomiting every Sunday. And I had this grandmother who was very connected to nature and herbs. And one day she said to me, maybe it's not what you're eating, maybe it's what is eating you. And when she said that I was like, wow, this is true, because I was compensating not having this passion in this field, but buying myself expensive stuff and, travel on the weekends and party and have fun. I mean, I was young, right? But then when it's Sunday, hit around eight o'clock, I felt nauseous and sick. Because I was dreading forward to the future of Monday having to start this day, again, that I wasn't happy about. And like I said, I was seen as a movie at that time, you know, anyways, it was the movie out groundhog days. Right? Groundhog Day. And when I was sort of moving, I'm like, that's me. Like, it's like, every day you wake up and you go and live for the same day. Same problems, but I knew, maybe I just have to stick it through for another five, six years. And then maybe I can work. You know, an American Express Bank as a branch manager in Singapore, which has been taught to me so far, like, okay, I just have to put the time down, right, I have to just invest my life into it. But you know what, I didn't make it beyond three years, I made it to two and a half years with so many digestive system issues, with so much misery physically, not even like emotionally that one day, then I was sitting in the office, looking at the stock exchange and currency exchange values. And I saw an ad for flight attendants. And something really strong kind of pulled me to this ad, it was really tiny, it says, flight attendant wanted, called this number. And I'm like, I mean, I was way overpaid, you know, for being a flight attendant. But there was something that said, go do this, take time off, find yourself. So, I call them up, went for all the tests that I had to do in Europe to be a flight attendant and you had to speak several languages you're hired in a certain way to remember was way more? Yeah, kind of strict. So, when Aiden told me the next day, when I want to start with the flight attendant school, I was a little bit worried for a second with my left brain, and I know, you know, like the left brain, right. It's the logical mind. Right? And the right brain was the one, no I want to have fun. So, in this moment, then I just went for it. I just took the pay cut. But at that moment, I started to realize that I didn't work a single day, there was after six months of traveling for the whole world like India, Australia, and Africa and everywhere. I felt like you know what, maybe someday I have to start working, working again. Like I didn't even register that this was work. But so, it was really fun for me as I travel around, but at that time, I still didn't make any decision, honestly, because what did I do? I wasn't happy with the education I had. And I was running away too, right? I mean, a flight attendant is a great thing. You don't need to take any responsibilities. You just jump from one plane to the next. You don't have any attachments. You don't need to career you just travel. And I realized that I don't know how long I'm going to do that before I decide what I should do in my life. And unfortunately, that also came into a complete Hold then, because my father got sick in a very short time on pancreatic cancer. And I remember still when I was like 26, and saw the whole, you know, the cemetery filled with all the people because everybody loved my dad. And my dad really was a people pleaser, but he never took care of himself. So, I was standing there, and he passed away when he was 58 from pancreatic cancer and I was 26 and I looked around and I thought to Myself, I think time is short a life of 100 years. Like if we get lucky if we can live 100 years, I think it's a short time it goes away in a blink of an eye. And I remember, all the people always say that to you, when you're like 18. They're like, enjoy those times when you're like 18, right? Yeah. And now I'm 48. And I just sent my daughter off to college and I’m like enjoy the college time. Same story. So long story short, that's how I got into natural healing because I felt like, you know, I want to live a fulfilled life by giving back to others. And I discovered herbalism, yoga, wellness coaching. And I just stumbled into this whole field, because I wanted to understand how my dad could just pass away so quickly without any symptoms. And I want to make sure that nobody else has to go through the pain that I had, as a young adult, to lose their dad.</p> <p>What Is the Big, Huge Research Behind Iridology?So, we found out, for example, blue eye people or people who have like certain orange pigments in the brown in the outer ring of the eyes are having a hard time digesting the protein in dairy, so what that means is then, in your case, it might not be lactose intolerance. It might be Casein intolerance, which is the protein in the dairy. So, the moment you eat it, not a body's working so hard, it can’t break down that casting. So, it trying to store it away, you know, I know mucous membranes well on because it's an inflammation now. So now we are waking up with like, you know, having to clear my throat and feel like nasally and all the ingestion, right? Yeah, so this is exactly that. So free parts go into iridology, then I'm working on is the physical of eliminating certain foods that we know from the perspective of the eyes, then making, you know, emotional treatment for certain emotions, which can be a meditation about letting go of grief, right? Or it can be a brainwave meditation, which can let go of anxiety or tension. There's also Emotional Freedom tapping that I use, which has certain acupuncture points, that you can tap on you to let go of that emotion. So, in my case, it was about sweetness in life, and gladly I ran off from this job that didn't give me sweetness.</p> <p>How Would the Audience Go About Getting Connected with Somebody That Can Help Them?You can have them come to my practice, or nowadays since we're in a digital world, where everybody can actually take amazing pictures of their eyes off their iPhones. So, if they connect with me, then I send them a little YouTube link on how to take the iris picture with their phone. So, then they can send...]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meet Todays Guest: Birgit LuedersBirgit Lueders is the mother of two wonderful daughters Emma and Lisa, living in Philadelphia, PA.

So, if they connect with me, then I send them a little YouTube link on how to take the iris picture with their phone. So, then they can send me a left and right picture. I can do online readings via zoom calls nowadays, which is awesome. Yeah. So, I have clients actually all over the world like my favorites are when the time zones are so different. Then I get up very early, and then I think about my work with my Japanese clients. Okay. So yeah, I can know it helps anybody to understand who they are with the blueprint reading of the eyes line also have to know how to read the eyes. I want to make sure if I leave this earth that iridology is not dying out. This is where my next passion comes into place. I feel like I'm carrying on the light of iridology. It's like, you know, when you see the Olympics, and they're running with the Olympic flag within the brigade, you're heartfelt. Yeah. That's all filled with your knowledge, especially those experts. But people were not treating me that welcoming. I'm like, you know what, I don't care, I'm going to hold on to this flame and let it not die off. Because it's not true always that we need to have something brand new. We do not have to have that we can work with something that has already existed 1000s of years ago, and we just don't want to make it die out. So that's why I created my school called the center for iridology, and I teach chiropractors, I teach massage therapists, energy healers.</p> <p>Can You Share One Success Story of One of Your Clients, That Would Help the Audience Really Understand How Valuable This Diagnostic Tool Is?When people come and hit an iridologist, just the most likely run out of ideas what to do anymore to have, like, you know, symptoms, that doesn't make any sense. They go for older medical, you know, diagnosis and diagnostics and nothing comes back, which is good. But in the end, that person just feels still dragged, tired, exhausted, and drained to feel that, Okay, everybody tells him that it's just like in their head, but it's not. So, then they end up finally, in my practice. And when I evaluate them, and for example, I see like one client, for example, came with me and she has, you know, dizzy spells, she had hair loss, she had nausea and insomnia. When you put all those like symptoms to get it doesn't make any sense. So of course, she got the MRI and all that. And she came back one more, everything was perfect. No iron deficiency for tiredness. But when I looked into her iris are so certain signs around the corner, like the thyroid area in my Iris map, which is considered a thyroid weakness. So, then I told her I'm like, you know, did you get a thyroid test? And she says, Yeah, and it was perfect. And I'm like, you know what, I see a genetic really weakness in your thyroid areas. So, it makes sense for me that you feel tired, exhausted, drained, you lose your hair, you can’t sleep because it's part of the endocrine system. And then I asked her, is anybody in your family? And she says, Yeah, my mother has been on thyroid medication for a long time. So, what is that what happens? Now usually, you would have to sit at home and wait for five, six years until you go every year back to the doctor to prove that you have a thyroid weakness, right? And it might never happen. Meantime, this client gained so much weight could lose weight, starved herself, and tried everything possible in a book to lose weight couldn't and couldn't get better. I gave it a thyroid based healthy diet. So, I use food as my medicine. So, in this case, it was a thyroid healthy based diet that also gave her supplements as herbs that supports a healthy but an already nonfunctioning thyroid. And here's the third part of what I did. The thyroid is associated that you have difficulties with your fifth chakra, which is your fluid area. Okay? So, fluid has to do everything with like, obviously, you and I, we don't have any problems to communicate or we wouldn't be on public podcasts right now. Some people, they have weakness because there was some press with the speech, or they're not speaking the truth from what they really want to say because they want to keep the peace. So, I asked her what was going on with that and she found out that when she was little, she had very strong parents, and it was much better to be not heard just to be seen as a child. Remember that kind of old parenting. So that's what she learned that anytime she wanted to say Something she rather have suppressed it. And she had been also in a relationship there was like this, where she was very overpowered by this partner because she rather suppress her opinion. And so, I became one person's opinion. So, she suffered in this relationship as well. So, I had her go back to a psychologist to work with her speech and find out why she's not expressing herself. So, once you discover that, then all healing came into place, she lost weight. She looked better; hair loss was gone. I mean, his whole thing just disappeared. And since then, she's a great believer in iridology. </p> <p>W Hat Is One Book That Is on Your Bedside Table Right Now?A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle</p> <p>What Is Your Favorite Thing to Do on the Weekends?On the weekends?

As a family advocate of over 20 years, Danica created the non profit, Kids Need Both, Inc as a way of educating parents and professionals on how to create positive change in high conflict families that gives the children a whole new future. It has been through her own heartache that she found her voice as a family advocate and now makes it her life mission to help others. Life's struggles that start may be your opportunity to step into your life's calling. With over 20 years’ experience as an educator, Danica provides families with workable solutions to their custody conflicts. She is a Certified Family Mediator with Florida Supreme Court, Guardian Ad Litem, the author for Florida’s Family Stabilization Parent Education curriculum and a personal custody coach.</p> <p>Tell the audience a little bit about your story.It was my friend, Donna Eller, that introduced us and she says this could be something that would be a great place to connect. And it's been a really great opportunity to be able to, to be a contributing author in this book, because it's not, even though I knew my story, I had the basis of my story. It was actually through the writing process that I discovered so many things I didn't see before and 20 years ago was when I kind of, my journey ended up choosing its course in working with families going through high conflict custody situations, because that was where my journey started. I was going through, I ended up in a marriage that was not healthy. It was very, it was dysfunctional, and there were children involved. So, it wasn't just the decisions I made were not just for me, but it was also for my children. And yet I chose to in the marriage, thinking it was going to go one way and it didn't. And I realized I found myself in a very high conflict custody situation. So, you know, just sort of going through survival and trying to make the most of the situation. I realized, well wait a minute. This is not a calling I asked for, but it was kind of thrust upon me to help other families, other parents who were going through high conflict custody situations. So, over the course of the years, I created a nonprofit called kids need both. And its mission is to educate those who are dealing with high conflict families, not just the parents themselves. But I also found in my journey that the professionals were not very well equipped to deal with effectively deal with these high conflict families. So that's what I do today is I work with, I'm a mediator. I'm an author of the family stabilization curriculum. And I coach families who are going through divorce.</p> <p>I love what you guys are and what you're doing with your nonprofit. I want you to be able to share a little bit more about that.I was talking to a friend of mine, who's one of the founders of a divorce professionals like organization nationwide, and her and I were sharing, she says, you know, the legal field doesn't get a bad reputation for no reason, as far as you know, the legal process being dragged out, and it costing people 10s of 1000s of dollars and all that, and I've got to believe that there are good people in those in all of those fields, but there's a lot of resignation in that situation. So, you know, the thing is, is divorce has three ways to go, it can go mediation centered, it could go like collaborative, or it could go litigated, and ultimately, mediation is where the most harmonious wants, collaborative is the next stage and of course litigated is if somehow there can be an establishment of trying to filter out those families So we're not pushing everybody into the presumed litigated direction. It would make a big difference for families and that's what I do with my team, with kids need both is to create options for families and actually empower the parents because the parents need to be in the driver's seat of their custody situation. And not just expect that just because you're an attorney that you're going to be the one to take care of everything. And understanding that parents are sometimes they're in a very emotional, they're in survival mode, they're concerned about the roof over their head, being able to have enough money to pay to support themselves plus the children. There's just a lot of worries. And that's why we get attorneys to take care of those things. But we've got to remember that we're in we are the ones in charge, and it's our responsibility to, to empower ourselves, maybe even you know, to find a divorce coach that helps us to think more grounded Lee and, you know, so that we can go in there and make the right decision. A lot of times, we go into mediations make completely unprepared. And we're making decisions for our six month old child or a preschool child that will last 18 years. And I guarantee that that agreement, that parenting plan agreement that was okay, when the child was 18 months old, does not work when they're 18 years.</p> <p>How do you support your families and how does your nonprofit support your families?My team has created a platform community. It's a subscription-based platform community, this has been in the works for a while because we've already we've been doing conferences every few years, in bringing experts in, in a conference structure. And of course, with the pandemic, it shifted to an online conference. And then we discovered something, we discovered that, first of all, we had access to way more families actually globally, by shifting it to an online conference. So, then we said, okay, what's next? We created this platform community called hope for families. And it still has a lot of the blog content and the experts, but it also has access to a director of professionals that we've vetted and said, you know, these are the people that we would recommend, if you need any of their services, and what's really special, probably the big flagship are the coach led groups. So, like, a might be a six-week group where the topic might be, you know, parenting plans or finances or whatever topic that our coaches are an expert in, we have them lead, like a, like a curriculum based six-week group, and you can join that. And then when your, your six weeks is up, you might want to try a different one. And it's the design is to make an interactive kind of conversation, so that you can discover things together. And versus I kind of, I kind of correlate it to, like, the church structure. So, when you sit down for your worship service, it's, it's a passive activity of being, you know, taught to, and it's wonderful, you have some great insights. But then it's in those small groups, the Sunday school classes and stuff like that, that you develop relationships, and you actually, you know, transform your way of thinking, and you becoming more empowered. So that's what we've got going, you know, to help families along with, of course, our services that the professionals, the practitioners have available, maybe like the course of their own, maybe a self-directed course, or just utilizing them, as you know, a mediator or a counselor, you know, that kind of thing.</p> <p>Can you share one of the nuggets of wisdom that you included with your story for anybody that may be really connecting with your journey and want to maybe learn something from you?At the beginning, I like I said, I knew my story very well, I thought I did. Before I started discovering myself, I realized that my ex, wasn't really the bad guy that thrust me into this mission. It was so easy to see that because it was right out there. However, over time, I realized what had me even get connected into that kind of dynamic was because of my lack of, like loving myself and selfishly. That's kind of been my thing is love yourself, selfishly. Because you really cannot love. You can't give what you don't have.</p> <p>What advice would you give to somebody in the audience right now, who may be struggling with a high conflict divorce, or maybe an upcoming divorce that they feel maybe high conflict?Well, I would say the first thing that you need to do before you hire an attorney before anything, is to find a trusted coach. A coach will help. And I know this to be true, because I have coached many people, they come back to me and they said, Wow, everything, I started with lots of fear and trepidation. And I got through it with everything I wanted. Not, you didn't get everything. But you got it to end the way you wanted it to end, which was harmoniously. And through having a coach that can actually navigate and guide you. In the directions. It's like having a trusted friend right next to your side.</p> <p>Somebody looking for a divorce coach, like, how would they find that type of person to connect with? Or should they connect with you? Well, they certainly could, could connect with me because on the platform, that's one of the things that we're really, really trying to connect people with is get yourself a coach, and people have no idea how valuable it really is to have that before they spend tons and tons of money that they don't have any place else.</p> <p>What is a book right now that is on your bedside table?<em>Love Lessons: Signs of a True Soulmate</em> by Jamie Hirsch</p> <p>If you can be any superhero, which one would you choose to be?

As a family advocate of over 20 years, Danica created the non profit, Kids Need Both, Inc as a way of educating parents and professionals on how to create positive change in high conflict families that gives the children a whole new future. It has been through her own heartache that she found her voice as a family advocate and now makes it her life mission to help others. Life's struggles that start may be your opportunity to step into your life's calling. With over 20 years’ experience as an educator, Danica provides families with workable solutions to their custody conflicts. She is a Certified Family Mediator with Florida Supreme Court, Guardian Ad Litem, the author for Florida’s Family Stabilization Parent Education curriculum and a personal custody coach.</p> <p>Tell the audience a little bit about your story.It was my friend, Donna Eller, that introduced us and she says this could be something that would be a great place to connect. And it's been a really great opportunity to be able to, to be a contributing author in this book, because it's not, even though I knew my story, I had the basis of my story. It was actually through the writing process that I discovered so many things I didn't see before and 20 years ago was when I kind of, my journey ended up choosing its course in working with families going through high conflict custody situations, because that was where my journey started. I was going through, I ended up in a marriage that was not healthy. It was very, it was dysfunctional, and there were children involved. So, it wasn't just the decisions I made were not just for me, but it was also for my children. And yet I chose to in the marriage, thinking it was going to go one way and it didn't. And I realized I found myself in a very high conflict custody situation. So, you know, just sort of going through survival and trying to make the most of the situation. I realized, well wait a minute. This is not a calling I asked for, but it was kind of thrust upon me to help other families, other parents who were going through high conflict custody situations. So, over the course of the years, I created a nonprofit called kids need both. And its mission is to educate those who are dealing with high conflict families, not just the parents themselves. But I also found in my journey that the professionals were not very well equipped to deal with effectively deal with these high conflict families. So that's what I do today is I work with, I'm a mediator. I'm an author of the family stabilization curriculum. And I coach families who are going through divorce.</p> <p>I love what you guys are and what you're doing with your nonprofit. I want you to be able to share a little bit more about that.I was talking to a friend of mine, who's one of the founders of a divorce professionals like organization nationwide, and her and I were sharing, she says, you know, the legal field doesn't get a bad reputation for no reason, as far as you know, the legal process being dragged out, and it costing people 10s of 1000s of dollars and all that, and I've got to believe that there are good people in those in all of those fields, but there's a lot of resignation in that situation.

We have already gone through the first four steps. And today we only have one step left. Today we are going to jump right in and we’re going to be talking about implementation. We can’t set a goal without putting in place the right steps to make those goals happen. I know we want to dream big, and I know we want to get out of our comfort zone. At this point, you’ve already identified goals in eight areas of your life that you want to focus on. Now, you may have cheated a little bit and maybe you have two or three goals in one category, and you’re missing one or another. I encourage you to not do that. We need to make sure there’s balance. I encourage you to have at least one in each one of these categories. We’re going to take that list, and we’re going to make sure that they become a part of our DNA. We’re not just writing them down one time a year and forgetting about them or writing them down one time a year and expecting magic to happen. Here are the steps to follow to make sure they happen.</p> <p>#1 – We went over our goals and our limiting beliefs, but I want you to take each one of those goals and write each one in the present tense and be very specific. Make sure they’re measurable. Internalize those and accept that they are going to happen.</p> <p>#2 – Take that list, put it on a specific paper that you can print out, and carry it with you every single day. Don’t leave it on your desk. Fold it up and stick it in your pocket or your purse. Read them out every morning when you wake up, and before you go to bed. Be sure you say them, and you believe them.</p> <p>#3 – Make a recording. When you’re driving, you can listen to that recording. Most phones have an app that will allow you to record something, and it can become one of your files on your phone. Take that recording, and you can have it transcribed.</p> <p>#4 – Make a vision board. We must be using all of our senses. Having a vision board with pictures allows you to also see something from a creative space that will represent that specific goal. If you have 12 goals, make a vision board with an image for each one of those 12 areas. You can even use the back of your paper for your vision board.</p> <p>#5 – Now we are going to reverse engineer how we’re going to make these things happen. If one of your goals is to lose 10 pounds in three months, then you need to write down the steps that you are going to take to make this happen. Use the same document, but I like to take the first page and have it be a table of contents. Then I take that same list, and copy and paste it on page three, because on page two are my images, and then for each one of those, they become its own piece of paper. Then do a brain dump for that specific goal. Use one goal per sheet of paper. So if you have 12 goals, then you should have 14 pieces of paper on your document that you have filled, because you’ve got your table of contents, page one, page two is all your images. And then pages three through 14 is each goal with the title of what that goal is, and then all of the steps that need to happen to make that goal come to fruition.</p> <p>#6 – Schedule your goals. If you are going to say one of your goals is to get up every single morning and ride your stationary bike, then put that on your calendar. Without putting these items on your calendar, it allows you to cheat and not necessarily follow through. Make sure you take the extra step to schedule in your steps to accomplish your goals.</p> <p>#7 – Make a celebration list. So now if we’ve got 12 steps, we’re on page 15. Make a list of all of the different things you are going to do to celebrate your successes and reward and victories. Maybe it’s going for a massage, a spa day, a facial, maybe it’s getting your nails done, maybe it’s having an extra dessert on the weekend. It’s going to be so much fun when you can check off one of your goals.</p> <p>#8 – Use a tracking system to maintain all this. I would encourage you on page 16 is to have a spreadsheet with all of your goals. I want you to track each one of them. You can have a one-sentence list of your goals and then maybe have 12 squares behind it. Every month you have a success or failure then check off your success or leave blank if not accomplished. It needs to be a visual representation of your progress.</p> <p>#9 – Get rid of something old. You can’t keep adding more to your bucket without making space in your bucket. Before you can add more onto your plate and add another goal to your list, you need to see what space can be created by letting go of things that don’t matter, or things that aren’t important, or things that are not supporting your goals.</p> <p>#10 – Have a process for accountability. One of my stories that I want to share is my daughter gave me a Bible that’s specifically designed to help me go through the Bible in a year. It breaks the Bible down with specific reading plans. I’m going to read short increments every single day. So then that way, when the year is over, I will have gotten through the whole book, and I’ll be so happy that I did. I wanted to create a process of accountability, because my spiritual growth is one of my goals, to have more time with the Lord every single day. And so, for me to ensure that I accomplished that specific goal, I created an accountability team. I created a Facebook group for women who want to go on that journey with me. If you want to be a part of that, it’s a closed group so you won’t be able to find it but shoot me a Facebook message and I would be happy to invite you into that group. Accountability is a huge component for me to accomplish anything.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>If you would like to be a part of my book creation program, it is a 12-month ongoing rolling program. So if you are listening to this podcast in January, when it launches, or you’re listening to it later in March, you are more than welcome to join our program. It is a robust program that has a lot of training, it has a ton of resources, and we will teach you how to self-publish. We will give you everything you need to know to make sure that you get your book out of your head and into your hands. Specifically, if it’s a business book, my goal is to help you make sure that it’s profitable, and that it brings you money beyond a book sale. That’s what I help my clients do. And I’d love to have you be a part of that.</p> <p>Join my Profitable Book Incubator Program: <a href= "https://christieruffino.com/profitable-book-incubator/"> https://christieruffino.com/profitable-book-incubator/</a></p> <p>Apply to Overcoming Mediocrity Podcast: <a href= "https://overcomingmediocrity.org/podcast-guest-pitch/">https://overcomingmediocrity.org/podcast-guest-pitch/</a></p> <p>Apply to Overcoming Mediocrity Project: <a href= "https://overcomingmediocrity.org/apply/">https://overcomingmediocrity.org/apply/</a></p>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[Goals to Fruition: Part 2 of 2 <p>I’m happy to have you here for Episode Number 16, which is episode number two in our miniseries on goal setting and bringing your goals to fruition.

And since you're with me, I want to share something that I heard recently on another podcast. I believe it was the Driven Entrepreneur podcast which is an amazing resource from one of my friends, Matt Brauning. He mentioned in one of his episodes, that as humans, we are meaning making machines. We make meaning out of everything. Think about our stories, think about our lives. I'm sure, I'm not the only one that's experienced this. If something happens to you, and you interpret it a certain way, and you get your feelings hurt, or you get upset, or you tell yourself a story about that situation, which is completely different or completely not the situation that the other person intended. And in their story they're telling themselves something completely different. Now there is a divide in what you believe, in what they believe. And unless you communicate about it, and figure out what the real story is, you both go on your merry way. We make meaning out of things that don't necessarily need to happen. That is the same thing with our life.</p> <p>Think about where you are right now. We want to live every day as humans, of course, believing that there is a purpose to our life that we were created for a reason. This time of the year, as the new year is just rolling in. We tend to take stock in our lives and think about what we've accomplished in the previous year. I know I do that. I've been doing that for years. Every year I take a piece of paper and jot down my business and personal goals for the next year. As I look upon my previous years, I really see that there is a pattern of success where I have created goals that I wanted to accomplish for the year to come. I love having this intention. I love being able to take stock of what we've done because we can't just coast through life. People do coast through life, but then we lose our passion, we lose our motivation, and we lose our drive. I have had the very great fortune of being able to build a lot of relationships and meet a lot of people throughout the years, specifically women who have connected with me because they had an amazing story. Their story is what led them to discover their purpose. They then took that purpose and created a business around it and were able step into their power and get on a trajectory that they thought was in perfect alignment with what they were excited about and what they believe they were created to pursue.</p> <p>We all have different seasons in our life. At one point, one of the seasons I had was to become the best mom ever in my purpose. I loved being a mom. I loved having the freedom to spend a lot of time with my kids. I was a stay at home for many years. I always had some other work outside of the home that I was able to do. That honestly, for me, allowed me to keep my sanity. But during that period, my goal was never to pursue creating another business. I was happy. More importantly, for me, my personal purpose was to be the best mom I could be. That was perfect for that season of my life. Then things happened, and my life pattern or my life trajectory changed which brought me to a different season. I realized I could make my own goals, and I could discover my own purpose. But I didn't know what that was, and I was lost.</p> <p>My purpose became making money, which isn't really a life purpose. I got lost in what my purpose was. I got caught up in the day-to-day task, and I got busy pursuing actions that would allow me to meet my needs and the needs of my family as a single mom. But then I lost touch with what I wanted to do and who I was and what my purpose was. Over the years, as I've been able to talk to other women and help them discover their purpose and get more in touch with my purpose at the same time. As I planned our schedule of podcast episodes for our 12 Days of Christmas launch, we had some amazing guests. The guests were some dear friends of mine who were experienced in the podcasting world. They helped me put the podcast together and other friends who have successful businesses came on and were my premier guests. I have so many other clients that I've worked with that have already recorded for future episodes. I had to learn this whole process because putting a podcast together isn't easy. I brought the right people together, and we made it happen. Then I remembered the end of the year is here. I knew what I was going to do as far as goal setting for the year to come. I knew I needed to interrupt the schedule and bring a couple of goal setting episodes to our audience. That way, I can not only implement my strategy, but share what I've been doing over the years. I made a decision to juggle things around and we're going to have a couple episodes on bringing our goals to fruition.</p> <p>What are the steps that we need to do to make our goals come to fruition?</p> <p>If you don't know who I am, I am the founder of the Dynamic Professional Women's Network. My name is Christie Ruffino. And I founded that organization 16 years ago. I started the Overcoming Mediocrity Project about eight years ago. With that, I have produced nine co-authored books for our clients under the Overcoming Mediocrity brand and I've helped other clients produce their own co-authored books. Co-authored books are a really great way to have a first book completed and get a lot of viewers to your story. We're now bringing women together for book number 10, which is super exciting. Now our podcast is another platform for our clients to be able to share their story. That leads us to where we are now. I am going to share with you my five-step strategy to be able to not only set goals, but have them come to fruition. This is going to be a two-part miniseries. In this episode, I'm going to go through steps one through four. Next week, we'll dive into step five, and then go into all of the mini steps associated with that specific step. As I talk about what this first step is, I am going to be sharing a few stories along the way.</p> <p>#1 - The first step is to analyze your year in review. The bottom line is you can't set a new course of your direction unless you know where you're coming from. Before I have my goals set for the next year, I need to take a good account of what my goals were for the previous year, what I accomplished, and what I didn't do. Maybe you didn't set goals for last year. Maybe you only had them in your brain. But what I want you to do is if you don't have that your goals written on a piece of paper, I want you to pull out your calendar, and take a look and remember what happened the year before. Take a piece of paper and list out all of your accomplishments, everything that you were able to do. Then think about what you're grateful for, what were the milestones that you were able to meet and how you felt for being able to accomplish them. Take a moment to write those down.</p> <p>Then look at all of the things that you almost succeeded at. What did you try and maybe not finish or not accomplish? You don't want to set your goals to be so big that you fail. Because then you get discouraged. Now we want to have big goals, but we're not going to always meet them. There are going to be times that you don't accomplish your goals. And that's okay. Don't look at that as a failure. You look at that as a work in progress, or an opportunity to pivot or an opportunity to grow. When you look at those goals that you didn't achieve, what stopped you from making them happen? What did you learn? When think about your goals for next year, what are you going to do differently to make them happen? I'm going to challenge you to be open to the possibility of doing things a little differently.</p> <p>#2 - Step number two is your wheel of life. I have a handout that you will be able to get at the end of this miniseries, where you can go through all of the exercises and fill in the blanks. In step two, there will be a wheel of life for you to look at. I'm sure you've all seen it, but there's eight different areas of your life. And the goal of this is to take a good look at your wheel of life and make sure you have balance. You’ll need to fill in the blanks on how well you've achieved having balanced in that specific segment. Envision a wheel and it's got eight different segments, and then every segment can be filled up based on how fulfilled you feel, and how well you accomplished meeting that specific area. The different areas are, spirituality, personal development, education, personal growth, hobbies, wellness, exercise and physical activity, personal finance, your profession, and the final segment of the wheel is your family, friends and relationships.</p> <p>When you make your goals for the next year, we need to make sure that we are keeping balance in our life. We can tend to have our wheels be out of balance. I can be filled up in the career profession area, and all my goals will be about my career and my profession, but I don't have a lot of goals around my exercise, or my finances, or my relationships. I would like you to have a brain dump of the eight areas, and put down three to six goals on every single area that you want to accomplish. What I want you to realize is you don't have to only set goals at the beginning of the year, you can have goals at any point in your life for any period of time. This does not have to be your yearly goals; this could be your next six-month goals and so that's why I don't want you to have a ton of goals. I want you to have one goal for each of these categories that you want to pursue.</p> <p>#3 - Step number three, is where you really need to identify your purpose and your mission. I honestly believe that everyone was created for a specific purpose. Whatever your purpose is, it's going to be epic in its own right, and it's going to be perfect for you. You can't just move forward without some sort of purpose. And I...]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Goals to Fruition Part 1</p> <p>Today we are having our very first episode of 2021.

What did you learn? When think about your goals for next year, what are you going to do differently to make them happen? I'm going to challenge you to be open to the possibility of doing things a little differently.</p> <p>#2 - Step number two is your wheel of life. I have a handout that you will be able to get at the end of this miniseries, where you can go through all of the exercises and fill in the blanks. In step two, there will be a wheel of life for you to look at. I'm sure you've all seen it, but there's eight different areas of your life. And the goal of this is to take a good look at your wheel of life and make sure you have balance.

I want you to have one goal for each of these categories that you want to pursue.</p> <p>#3 - Step number three, is where you really need to identify your purpose and your mission. I honestly believe that everyone was created for a specific purpose. Whatever your purpose is, it's going to be epic in its own right, and it's going to be perfect for you. You can't just move forward without some sort of purpose. And I believe, especially since I know firsthand from talking to hundreds and hundreds of women, that many times the biggest challenges in our lives happen for a reason. We can not only step into our purpose, but we can gain the wisdom and the skills and the experiences to become good at something specific. I have a whole class on how to discover your purpose. I'm not going to get into all of the details on helping you define your purpose right now but think about what you experienced in your life. Think about what is the thing in the world that you want to change? Who needs that change? Who is the person out there that you feel you can really help? Think about what you want to do, what big change you want to see happen in the world. And I want you to own the fact that your purpose may be bigger than you even realize right now. You can grow into that purpose when it's time. Feel free to let your brain not only think about a bigger purpose for your life, but also accept that the purpose you're in right now is perfect just for you.</p> <p>When you are able to identify your purpose and you feel like you have a good plan of action or a good path to follow, what that does is it activates our reticular activating system. And when you're able to envision something specific and you set your mind on it, the world seems to be bringing you people, places, resources that support that mission. It's because now you're recognizing things differently. There’re stimuli happening every moment of every day, and we have to open up our mind to our purpose for it to actually come to fruition.</p> <p>#4 – Recognize the cycle of quitting. Figure out your limiting beliefs and making sure you stay motivated to accomplish your goals. In step number five, which will be on the next episode, we are going to get into the action plan. Today we need to recognize that there are going to be things that come into your world that are going to stop you or overwhelm you to the point that you feel like giving up. A lot of those feelings and actions that you have are because over the years, you have been conditioned to do certain things and think certain things. We have had things in our lives that we've created specific meanings around, and that's conditioned us to act certain ways or believe certain things. Until we can move forward, we need to recognize that some of the cycles are happening, and we can, we can do something to stop them. Before we can stop them, we must recognize what they are. I have a list of things that could possibly be stopping you. Take a piece of paper, and jot down beliefs that you feel stop you from doing certain things. There is a lot of limiting beliefs that you can have around each one of those topics. It's going to be empowering for you to discover what those beliefs are so you can do something to overcome them. You can do something to ensure that these success habits we're going to create for you are going to help you accomplish your goals, and you're not going to let these limiting beliefs stop you. If you have my handout, feel free to check off all of the items that you resonate with, or go back to your top goals, and discover what possible limiting beliefs you have around each one of those.</p> <p>I want you to do is write a new empowering decision around each one of those eight goals. I want you to make an empowering statement around each one of those goals that will help you set your brain to activate your reticular activating system, that event is going to happen. Don't say it may happen or it could happen. We have to believe that it is happening right now or that it's already happening. Writing the empowering decision down means it's already starting to happen. Take a moment to write down one empowering decision for each one of these goals as if you are already on the path of making it happen.</p> <p>I would encourage you to join us on our next episode where we're going to dive deep into your success habits. These are the actions that will take your goals and have them come to fruition. Until then have an amazing day and I hope you have a great 2021 and I know that these exercises are going to help you accomplish your wildest dreams to not only have your best year ever, but to have your best month, your best week. Your best life ever.</p>]]></content:encoded><link><![CDATA[https://masteryunleashedpodcast.com/]]></link><guid isPermaLink="false">bafbf94e-7761-4e42-9c71-d79d2d621bb4</guid><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/90d947f0-aeee-4b58-b358-9a58d3d0e756/episode-15-goals1.jpg"/><pubDate>Wed, 06 Jan 2021 12:00:00 -0400</pubDate><enclosure url="https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/9df6f12d-17cd-475e-8557-4b35bae38b65/015-christie-ruffino-01.mp3" length="63261391" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:duration>43:56</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>OM14: Jean Kadkhodaian | Couples Synergy - Spiritual Development Through Relationships</title><itunes:title>OM14: Jean Kadkhodaian | Couples Synergy - Spiritual Development Through Relationships</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>anything that's alive is either growing or dying, in an array of relationship with alive.</p> <p>Meet Today’s Guest: Jean Kadkhodaian</p> <p>Jean Kadkhodaian and her husband, Dr. Ray Kadkhodaian, have been counseling thousands of couples since 2002.

And I grew up in a home that had a lot of a lot of chaos. I coped with that by working full time when I was in high school, so I would work and go to school, and I was pretty lonely. Early on, I got into a relationship with someone that ended up being a fairly toxic relationship. I was a mess. About a year after that, he decided to go away to college, and I didn't have a plan. I decided to join the army. When I got on the plane to go to basic training, I thought, you know, I'm going to reinvent myself.</em></p> <p><em>The whole town where we lived knew who we were because were such a big family. There was always like a label that I couldn't get out from under. I was the youngest girl, and I was really shy, and I got on the plane, I'm like, I'm not going to be that anymore. I remember getting off the plane and shaking people's hands and introducing myself and having this false confidence which basic training really reinforced. I learned a lot about self-care and self-esteem and self-worth and discipline. And that really changed my life.</em></p> <p><em>I came back home and got lost again and got pregnant at 20 years old. That was such a life changing event of mine. I joined a single mom support group, and I decided that was the work that I want to do. At the time I found out I was dyslexic, and it was the beginning of the word processor. I don't think I could have gone to school unless I had that to correct my spelling. I muscled my way through school with my son. I think I started when he was three and finished my bachelor's when he was eight. I continued to work really hard on myself during that entire time and I was in another toxic relationship.</em></p> <p><em>Relationships became something that was a really strong passion of mine to figure out. And at some point, once I finished my bachelor's, I bought my own condo, which was a huge accomplishment for me. I was actually going to plan on being single the rest of my life because I was so bad at being in relationships and they were so painful. I spent three years and what I would say is you have to become the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with, in order to be in a relationship where you have something to offer another person. And of course, once I got into that three-year mark where I really knew myself, I had all these wonderful ways of getting my needs met through family, friends, work kids, and pets. That's when I met my husband.</em></p> <p><em>At the time, we were both working on our master's degree in clinical psychology. We started working in community mental health where there's very little training. We decided we could do it better. We started working together as a couple with couples. The incredible part of that journey is that when I was 30 years old, and my son was nine years old, I fell in love with a guy who was 24. Ray and I had this big age gap. We didn’t look good on paper, but we both had this passion. He too was coming out of a seven-year toxic relationship. We had a drive to figure out how to feel safe and healthy in a relationship while supporting and growing together. As we started working with couples, we developed a method called Couples Synergy Method. You can't do this work without living it. Throughout our relationship, we have gone through, and we share on our podcast, that we fight, we work through stuff, and we continue to grow and learn and develop. I don't know any other way to live. It's never been comfortable. Just as it is been painful, it's been as awesome.</em></p> <p>You've taken your wisdom from years of training in the industry to start with Lighthouse Emotional Wellness. Tell us a little bit about what that.</p> <p><em>The foundation of it is, we started working with couples, and then what would happen is our couples wanted their kids to come on board. We have a second program called Family Synergy Therapy. We also work with individual people. And about 50% of the work I did was with couples and 50% was with individuals. I got certified in hypnosis, which I knew nothing about. From there I dove into understanding our spiritual anatomy and energy healing and how to use not just the talk therapy or the conscious parts of the brain, but the hind brain in the limbic system.</em></p> <p><em>When someone goes through a trauma, they're going to respond in their fight or flight system, which is not in the hindbrain.

They enjoy riding motorcycles, scuba diving, hiking and traveling. </p> <p>Tell the audience a little bit about your story.</p> <p><em>I have eight siblings. And I grew up in a home that had a lot of a lot of chaos. I coped with that by working full time when I was in high school, so I would work and go to school, and I was pretty lonely. Early on, I got into a relationship with someone that ended up being a fairly toxic relationship. I was a mess. About a year after that, he decided to go away to college, and I didn't have a plan. I decided to join the army. When I got on the plane to go to basic training, I thought, you know, I'm going to reinvent myself.</em></p> <p><em>The whole town where we lived knew who we were because were such a big family. There was always like a label that I couldn't get out from under. I was the youngest girl, and I was really shy, and I got on the plane, I'm like, I'm not going to be that anymore. I remember getting off the plane and shaking people's hands and introducing myself and having this false confidence which basic training really reinforced. I learned a lot about self-care and self-esteem and self-worth and discipline. And that really changed my life.</em></p> <p><em>I came back home and got lost again and got pregnant at 20 years old. That was such a life changing event of mine. I joined a single mom support group, and I decided that was the work that I want to do. At the time I found out I was dyslexic, and it was the beginning of the word processor. I don't think I could have gone to school unless I had that to correct my spelling. I muscled my way through school with my son. I think I started when he was three and finished my bachelor's when he was eight. I continued to work really hard on myself during that entire time and I was in another toxic relationship.</em></p> <p><em>Relationships became something that was a really strong passion of mine to figure out. And at some point, once I finished my bachelor's, I bought my own condo, which was a huge accomplishment for me. I was actually going to plan on being single the rest of my life because I was so bad at being in relationships and they were so painful. I spent three years and what I would say is you have to become the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with, in order to be in a relationship where you have something to offer another person. And of course, once I got into that three-year mark where I really knew myself, I had all these wonderful ways of getting my needs met through family, friends, work kids, and pets. That's when I met my husband.</em></p> <p><em>At the time, we were both working on our master's degree in clinical psychology. We started working in community mental health where there's very little training. We decided we could do it better. We started working together as a couple with couples. The incredible part of that journey is that when I was 30 years old, and my son was nine years old, I fell in love with a guy who was 24. Ray and I had this big age gap. We didn’t look good on paper, but we both had this passion. He too was coming out of a seven-year toxic relationship. We had a drive to figure out how to feel safe and healthy in a relationship while supporting and growing together. As we started working with couples, we developed a method called Couples Synergy Method. You can't do this work without living it. Throughout our relationship, we have gone through, and we share on our podcast, that we fight, we work through stuff, and we continue to grow and learn and develop. I don't know any other way to live. It's never been comfortable. Just as it is been painful, it's been as awesome.</em></p> <p>You've taken your wisdom from years of training in the industry to start with Lighthouse Emotional Wellness. Tell us a little bit about what that.</p> <p><em>The foundation of it is, we started working with couples, and then what would happen is our couples wanted their kids to come on board. We have a second program called Family Synergy Therapy. We also work with individual people. And about 50% of the work I did was with couples and 50% was with individuals. I got certified in hypnosis, which I knew nothing about. From there I dove into understanding our spiritual anatomy and energy healing and how to use not just the talk therapy or the conscious parts of the brain, but the hind brain in the limbic system.</em></p> <p><em>When someone goes through a trauma, they're going to respond in their fight or flight system, which is not in the hindbrain. If they haven't really fully developed, they're not going to be able to do talk therapy very well. I have a rule, I don't work with anyone just in hypnosis, or energy healing, and I don't work with anyone just in conscious. It's a merging of the two, that helps people transform and not go into regression. We hired a staff to work with the other people. And then we have people who do EMDR biofeedback.

I think that's our brains way of saying, hey, it really is fabulous to connect with another human being, it's really worth it. And then that chemistry slows down, and we go into something called the commitment phase.</em> T<em>he commitment phase is where you as, are we going to really work on this? Do we have enough in a romance phase to say, let's stick with it? Because not being with you is, is not going to increase my life as much.</em></p> <p><em>If I was going to define what a healthy relationship is for my grandparents, it would be, to be together till you're dead. But to me, it's a relationship that you're growing and thriving in. And if you're not growing and thriving in it, it probably isn't a healthy or successful relationship. In some relationships maybe they're only going to last 10 years or 15 years. They don't have that longevity, but they still serve that function, and that purpose to get you through that part of your journey. So then once you make it to the commitment phase, you get into what we call the transition phase. And this is where most couples don't make it unfortunately. This is where the work is. Where you are raised like this, and they were raised like that, and that's your domestication, but somewhere in the middle is healthy.</em></p> <p><em>My husband and I don't have issues anymore. Issues are in the beginning. Like who's doing the dishes, who's going to pay the bills, those kinds of issues. What we have now is healing moments and in a forging of who we are as a couple. And that really does take 20 to 25 years to get to. What you're seeing in couples that are 25 years plus, if they did the work, their brain chemistry is more exciting than the people in the beginning, which is really cool.</em></p> <p><em>They found two periods where it dips the four-year mark and the 10 year mark. And their hypothesis was if you got together and created a child, the child's physical development up till age four was going to have a much more success rate of survival. And we're talking back in the day at 10 years old when people were mature and independent and had been working on the farm forever. So at 10, there's their chance of getting to full adulthood and reproducing was greater. And they think biologically, we're designed to have those kinds of impacts at four years and 10 years, and then the 25 year mark.</em></p> <p>If both people in a relationship are committed to doing the work, then you will, even though it may be difficult, forge together. Correct?</p> <p><em>Right. The Couples Synergy Method that we teach is a 12 week course. And this course is designed to show you the process of how you do the work. This is not traditional therapy, we're not diving into things. We're showing them, here's your relationship dance, here's how you communicate and here's how you show up for your partner to help them heal those wounds that really have almost nothing to do with you. Although when they're talking about the toothpaste or whatever it seems like that, but we call that an iceberg. So you're looking at the 15% above the water, which you're part of. You probably hurt your partner, they hurt you. But it's sitting on 85% of history and the pain is 100%.</em></p> <p><em>If you could see your partner as a four year old that's hurting, you certainly wouldn't go up to a four year old be like knock it off. You'd ask what's wrong? We lose that with our partner, because it's so personal and so painful. We teach them that whole process. And then at that point, they know how to do this kind of work. And they understand themselves to that level. And then from there on is, is the growth process of that. People want to go to therapy, and they don't understand all the underlying things, and they want to fix that little bit at the top. And it doesn't work. It's not sustainable. It's really growth through that kind of stuff that we are really passionate about teaching and why we continue to teach.</em></p> <p>How to connect with Jean:</p> <p>Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/couplessynergy">https://www.facebook.com/couplessynergy</a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/couplessynergy/">https://www.instagram.com/couplessynergy/</a></p> <p>FREE GIFT LINK: <a href= "https://go.couplessynergymethod.com/Connections">https://go.couplessynergymethod.com/Connections</a></p> <p> </p>]]></content:encoded><link><![CDATA[https://masteryunleashedpodcast.com/]]></link><guid isPermaLink="false">020d3fae-5498-4b7a-8536-2d81e0c84850</guid><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/e2bdab07-5a06-46b9-8212-2e954311ffa8/jean-k-s.jpg"/><pubDate>Wed, 30 Dec 2020 12:00:00 -0400</pubDate><enclosure url="https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/5ac0a314-3fac-4d90-b593-1527a8667759/014-jean-k.mp3" length="61989140" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:duration>43:03</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>OM13: Amy Fritz |Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep</title><itunes:title>OM13: Amy Fritz |Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>Meet Today’s Guest: Amy Fritz</p> <p>What is the journey you went on to be the expert you are now?</p> <p><em>I am a 20-year breast cancer survivor. I didn't just get diagnosed once but I had to two separate diagnosis. I was really hit hard with cancer when I was in my early 20s. And that's a real difficult time for people in their lives. You're becoming an adult, you're finding your footing, you're trying to either finish up education as I was or getting started with a career. And so to suddenly have your life come to a complete halt and have to fight cancer. That's a real challenge. And not everyone has the opportunity and privilege to be able to survive from that. Some people do live past cancer, but it hits them hard, and it really changes their life. Knowing this, I really wanted to make sure that I really had the opportunity to build a life I love and not to be stuck in survivor mentality and feeling sorry for myself asking myself, why did this happen? I wanted to make sure that I went from a survivor to a thriver really loving life and living it to its fullest.</em></p> <p><em>My story in the book is about my journey with cancer, some of the details that I went through while I was fighting cancer and the surgeries that followed. And then what I did with my life afterwards. I was an undergraduate at the University of Washington, finishing up my Bachelor of Science in atmospheric sciences. I'm a little bit of a book nerd. And I love math. If anyone wants to know math and science, I love them both. Once I was free and clear of cancer, I went on to graduate school at both Penn State University, where I earned a Master of Science in meteorology. And then I went on to NC State University, where I received a Master of Science in physical oceanography.</em></p> <p><em>When I was fighting cancer, one of the things that my doctor encouraged me was to set big goals, things that would excite me, things that would motivate me. And for me, really getting the opportunity to go to graduate school was worth it. For me, when I was fighting cancer, it was putting that goal out in front of me. In fact, while I was fighting, I was filling out applications for graduate school. I took the graduate required exam even during chemo. I was just doing everything I could to keep my life moving forward, because it's so important not to get stuck in your battle. Once I was done with doctor's appointments and the follow ups and the x rays and the surgeries. I had something else in my future. So that's a little bit about my story.</em></p> <p><em>Now you're probably wondering, where does laughter come into this? Why is laughter so important? Where laughter comes in is it's been shown that as we laugh, we release positive endorphins throughout our body which could actually help your immune system. It's a great way to bring your mind back to being centered and focused. Laughter is wonderful. It has so many incredible benefits I can't even begin to explain, but it's also good exercise, which is another piece of my life.</em></p> <p>You were faced at one point with a grim diagnosis, and you were physically drained and just weak. And you decided to go somewhere. Tell us more.</p> <p><em>As I was taking rounds of chemotherapy, there came a time when my body wasn't bouncing back, my white blood cell count wasn't recovering. I was like borderline hospitalization for weeks. At one point in time, my doctors looked at me, held my hand, and shook their heads and said, you really need to get your affairs in order. It's very difficult to listen to a doctor not really know how much time you have left. I wanted to see if I could make one last memory in my life. If I could have one last really exciting thing to do, what would that be?</em></p> <p><em>I asked my doctors if I could go to Disneyland. I lived in Washington state at the time. I know this is a real huge ask because we were worried about my immune system. If I pick up anything, it could be the end of me. I didn’t know how much time I had left. I really wanted to go to Disneyland. It's notoriously called, “The Happiest Place on Earth.” You can't step through the gates and not be smiling and feeling joy and just overwhelmed with happiness everywhere. That's where I chose to go.</em></p> <p>You were very weak when you got there. You said every day you got stronger and stronger and stronger. The positive laughter energy was transformational for you. Can you explain a little bit more?</p> <p><em>Physically you could see the difference. My first day in the park, the employees offered me a wheelchair. They escorted me through the park and allowed me to go to the front of the lines. It was great that they were so helpful. I think I went on maybe three rides, and I was done for the day. But it was great.</em></p> <p><em>The next day I woke up and I had about a quarter of an inch of hair on top of my head. I went from completely shiny and bald to a quarter of an inch of hair. And when that happens, you almost don't recognize yourself. On top of that I went from looking very pale, almost greenish, with dark sunken eyes to very normal coloring. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I suddenly no longer looked like a cancer patient, but I looked like a normal person. When we went back to the park, I pushed my wheelchair around, but it was more or less just in case, but I really was able to enjoy the park.</em></p> <p><em>By my last day I had hair, I had gained weight, I was tan and my freckles had come out. On top of that, I could really feel my energy had come back and my appetite had returned. It was a huge transformation. I wish I had pictures of the before and the after. Within a span of about five days, I completely physically transformed. And it did something really powerful to the inside of me too. I went from feeling hopeless and doomed to all of a sudden I could see that I had more life to live, that I had opportunities that I could create for my future, and that it was I was going to make it. I think felt in my heart I could see that I was going to beat cancer. And that was the biggest part for me on that trip to Disneyland was to get that hope back.</em></p> <p>Are you willing to share the strategies you use with your clients to help them accomplish their wildest dreams?</p> <p><em>Since my journey with cancer, my husband, Ryan Fritz, and I started a business called Science of Cardio. Together, he and I, help other people reach their goals. His focus is the fitness and the nutrition side, but I help with things like motivation, and inspiration. We have quite the following of people who really look to us as role models for living a life that you love.</em></p> <p><em>#1 – Laughter. We talked previously about laughter.</em></p> <p><em>#2 - Fill your life with love. Love the people around you, love the things you do, and love yourself. I can't emphasize that enough. It's really important for us to take off the critical lens and look at ourselves, for who we are. Who I am is not my body. I am my character, I am my personality, I'm my spiritual person, but I'm not my body. Love who you are, love who you are to others, love who you are in this world. Love the things that you do to contribute to other people's lives. Make sure you have others you love, and who love you in return. That is an important piece in having a fulfilling and wonderful life.</em></p> <p><em>#3 – Make plans. I think part of loving your life is having something to look forward to down the road. It really helps to know that you have something you're looking forward to, whether it's a walk in the park, or getting together with friends virtually over the computer, and when all this is over, getting together with people. Maybe make a date night with you and a loved one. Figure out what really excites you. You’ll know you found it when you can't stop talking about it. When you're filled with joy about it. When thinking about it just lifts your spirits.</em></p> <p>How did you end up meeting your husband Ryan?</p> <p><em>So back to making plans. I had a cousin who's not the most athletically inclined, but she knew that I ran. I like to run a lot of charity runs. And she came to me and said, Amy, I'd really like to run a marathon. But I can't do it alone, I need your help. And if we train together, then I know I'll be able to do it. While I was in the middle of training, here in Maryland, I was on a trail and sitting on a bench where I was going to take a break, my bench was occupied by this handsome man. When I ran by, he had a big smile. I had to finish my run and then track back to the bench. And when I ran by, he was noteworthy. He caught my eye. When I walked back, he was still there. I asked if I could sit down and rest on the bench because I just came from a long hot run. He happily scooted over and made room for me, and we started talking. The next thing I know, I invited him home for dinner. And it was a life changing moment. I knew when I saw him on the bench that I was at a crossroads in my life. Either I was going to make a new relationship, or I was going to move on and lose that opportunity. I'm so glad I took that opportunity and sat down because he and I fell in love during the course of my training for the marathon. We officially started dating after the marathon and about two years later, we got married in Hawaii.</em></p> <p><em>When I was dating him, he was a personal trainer at a gym. I told him we need to start our own business. Between the two of us, he had all the experience with physical training and education on fitness. We joined forces, and together we started Science of Cardio. He works with the clients in the DC area and remotely all over on their physical fitness and training goals. He focuses on low impact saving your joints. He's always thinking about the long run, how can we make sure that whatever you're doing is sustainable. He and I have made a great team.

It has so many incredible benefits I can't even begin to explain, but it's also good exercise, which is another piece of my life.</em></p> <p>You were faced at one point with a grim diagnosis, and you were physically drained and just weak. And you decided to go somewhere. Tell us more.</p> <p><em>As I was taking rounds of chemotherapy, there came a time when my body wasn't bouncing back, my white blood cell count wasn't recovering. I was like borderline hospitalization for weeks. At one point in time, my doctors looked at me, held my hand, and shook their heads and said, you really need to get your affairs in order. It's very difficult to listen to a doctor not really know how much time you have left. I wanted to see if I could make one last memory in my life. If I could have one last really exciting thing to do, what would that be?</em></p> <p><em>I asked my doctors if I could go to Disneyland. I lived in Washington state at the time. I know this is a real huge ask because we were worried about my immune system. If I pick up anything, it could be the end of me. I didn’t know how much time I had left. I really wanted to go to Disneyland. It's notoriously called, “The Happiest Place on Earth.” You can't step through the gates and not be smiling and feeling joy and just overwhelmed with happiness everywhere. That's where I chose to go.</em></p> <p>You were very weak when you got there. You said every day you got stronger and stronger and stronger. The positive laughter energy was transformational for you. Can you explain a little bit more?</p> <p><em>Physically you could see the difference. My first day in the park, the employees offered me a wheelchair. They escorted me through the park and allowed me to go to the front of the lines. It was great that they were so helpful. I think I went on maybe three rides, and I was done for the day. But it was great.</em></p> <p><em>The next day I woke up and I had about a quarter of an inch of hair on top of my head. I went from completely shiny and bald to a quarter of an inch of hair. And when that happens, you almost don't recognize yourself. On top of that I went from looking very pale, almost greenish, with dark sunken eyes to very normal coloring. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I suddenly no longer looked like a cancer patient, but I looked like a normal person. When we went back to the park, I pushed my wheelchair around, but it was more or less just in case, but I really was able to enjoy the park.</em></p> <p><em>By my last day I had hair, I had gained weight, I was tan and my freckles had come out. On top of that, I could really feel my energy had come back and my appetite had returned. It was a huge transformation. I wish I had pictures of the before and the after. Within a span of about five days, I completely physically transformed. And it did something really powerful to the inside of me too. I went from feeling hopeless and doomed to all of a sudden I could see that I had more life to live, that I had opportunities that I could create for my future, and that it was I was going to make it. I think felt in my heart I could see that I was going to beat cancer. And that was the biggest part for me on that trip to Disneyland was to get that hope back.</em></p> <p>Are you willing to share the strategies you use with your clients to help them accomplish their wildest dreams?</p> <p><em>Since my journey with cancer, my husband, Ryan Fritz, and I started a business called Science of Cardio. Together, he and I, help other people reach their goals. His focus is the fitness and the nutrition side, but I help with things like motivation, and inspiration. We have quite the following of people who really look to us as role models for living a life that you love.</em></p> <p><em>#1 – Laughter. We talked previously about laughter.</em></p> <p><em>#2 - Fill your life with love. Love the people around you, love the things you do, and love yourself. I can't emphasize that enough. It's really important for us to take off the critical lens and look at ourselves, for who we are. Who I am is not my body. I am my character, I am my personality, I'm my spiritual person, but I'm not my body. Love who you are, love who you are to others, love who you are in this world. Love the things that you do to contribute to other people's lives. Make sure you have others you love, and who love you in return. That is an important piece in having a fulfilling and wonderful life.</em></p> <p><em>#3 – Make plans. I think part of loving your life is having something to look forward to down the road. It really helps to know that you have something you're looking forward to, whether it's a walk in the park, or getting together with friends virtually over the computer, and when all this is over, getting together with people. Maybe make a date night with you and a loved one. Figure out what really excites you. You’ll know you found it when you can't stop talking about it. When you're filled with joy about it. When thinking about it just lifts your spirits.</em></p> <p>How did you end up meeting your husband Ryan?</p> <p><em>So back to making plans. I had a cousin who's not the most athletically inclined, but she knew that I ran. I like to run a lot of charity runs. And she came to me and said, Amy, I'd really like to run a marathon. But I can't do it alone, I need your help. And if we train together, then I know I'll be able to do it. While I was in the middle of training, here in Maryland, I was on a trail and sitting on a bench where I was going to take a break, my bench was occupied by this handsome man. When I ran by, he had a big smile. I had to finish my run and then track back to the bench. And when I ran by, he was noteworthy. He caught my eye. When I walked back, he was still there. I asked if I could sit down and rest on the bench because I just came from a long hot run. He happily scooted over and made room for me, and we started talking. The next thing I know, I invited him home for dinner. And it was a life changing moment. I knew when I saw him on the bench that I was at a crossroads in my life. Either I was going to make a new relationship, or I was going to move on and lose that opportunity. I'm so glad I took that opportunity and sat down because he and I fell in love during the course of my training for the marathon. We officially started dating after the marathon and about two years later, we got married in Hawaii.</em></p> <p><em>When I was dating him, he was a personal trainer at a gym. I told him we need to start our own business. Between the two of us, he had all the experience with physical training and education on fitness. We joined forces, and together we started Science of Cardio. He works with the clients in the DC area and remotely all over on their physical fitness and training goals. He focuses on low impact saving your joints. He's always thinking about the long run, how can we make sure that whatever you're doing is sustainable. He and I have made a great team. Science of Cardio has been in business for nine years now.</em></p> <p>You put your heads together and came up with something that you'd love to share with our audience. What is it?</p> <p><em>We would like to offer the listeners a free first consultation and remote fitness coaching program.</em></p>]]></content:encoded><link><![CDATA[https://masteryunleashedpodcast.com/]]></link><guid isPermaLink="false">d0d01a50-ef9d-4c80-81d9-01d2be75c2ab</guid><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/359c81fa-72f9-45f1-9f01-2e563ee591cc/amy-frank-s.jpg"/><pubDate>Wed, 23 Dec 2020 12:00:00 -0400</pubDate><enclosure url="https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/f4b9e2ce-ffbe-4d03-850e-cf7955553a07/013-amy-fritz.mp3" length="43443333" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:duration>30:10</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>OM12: Christie Ruffino | Your Signature Story: Elevate Your Brand and Attract Clients with Your Message</title><itunes:title>OM12: Christie Ruffino | Your Signature Story: Elevate Your Brand and Attract Clients with Your Message</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>Christie believes that mastering our stories is the key to everything we want in life. Our stories can either hold us back, or they can propel us to great heights. Once we master our story, we can identify our real purpose, step into our power, and help other people change their story by sharing our wisdom and guiding them to accomplish their goals. </p> <p>In today’s episode, Christie shares 3-Key Principles to help you master your story so that you, too, can enjoy a business and life of true significance.</p> <p>Let's get this party started...</p> <p>When I interview our guests, the first thing I asked them is, what is your story? How did you become the expert at what you do right now? And what's funny is many of them look at me and say, Well, I'm not an expert, but they don't realize that they are I mean, we kind of don't necessarily give us enough ourselves enough credit. But what I see with so many of my guests and the clients I work with that the challenges that they face in their life in their journey, set them up perfectly to be where they are now.</p> <p>I am like some of our guests where I went through something really traumatic. And I'm not going to go through the traumatic part of my journey in detail. But I will say that I went through a pretty difficult divorce. I came out on the other side broke, and not knowing how I was going to be able to feed my family. I didn't know I was going to be able to support my children. But I did, I was able to find a great job in the mortgage industry which set me on the path to start the Dynamic Professional Women's Network as the means or a tool or resource for me to get clients. Then 17 years later we have a thriving organization, and then on that journey, I was asked to share my story.</p> <p>Now I was five or six years out of it, and I did not really see how my story was relevant. I hear that all the time with the women that I talk to or interview, that their story isn’t important. We don't really see how sharing our journey could help other people. Sometimes our stories are difficult stories and are pretty fresh. We don't want to necessarily go back there. We want to keep moving forward. I like to learn from my mistakes. I like to learn from the past, but then I like to find solutions to move forward. And I think that's very true of successful people as we learn from our mistakes. We realize that we can make a decision to stay stuck in our problem, and to wallow in our misery, and to just use that challenge as an excuse, instead of using it as the fuel to go to that next place.</p> <p>I was in that situation where I had to make a decision to move forward. Once I decided to move forward, and it was very challenging to navigate through, I had many times on that journey where I didn't think I was going to get out. I didn't think I was going to ever get out of my financial situation or dealing with the divorce or managing my children. We have many obstacles on our journeys, and I had to figure it out on my own.</p> <p>When I was asked to share my story, my first response was no. I had to take a step back. The person that invited me to share my story was our guest on day two, Michelle Prince. And that book, <em>Dare to be a Difference Maker</em> was my first step into this journey. So many great things came out of my messy divorce, and the Overcoming Mediocrity Project is one of those blessings. Michelle asked me a simple question, she asked me, if your story could just help one person, wouldn't it be worth it? I had to step out of my own shoes and think about it from that perspective. I was so wrapped up in my problem. I was in depression, very deep depression, where I wasn't getting out of bed for days. When my mom took my kids away that woke me up. I made a decision to do something about my situation. It was a slow journey. But I did. I was able to share my story. Not only was that experience transformational for my business, because I believe my business really blossomed after that, but it was because of the visibility I received as a new author. But I think mostly it was my mindset.</p> <p>The whole process of taking my story and writing it down and refining it and getting feedback and realizing that other people are going to read it was something that really helped me get out of my shell and look at things from a different perspective. My mindset completely shifted, because now I'm an author. It transformed me personally, as well as professionally. And then someone reached out to me and thank me for sharing my story. She was in a dark place, and she read my story. She shared with me how my story helped her and that right there made it all worth it. That was the reason why I started the Overcoming Mediocrity Project. At that point, I had this thriving organization. I had a bunch of members all over. I had a community of women that were supporting each other, and I was constantly trying to find resources to help them and I thought, well, heck if this experience helped me, why would I not share that? That was when our very first book, <em>Overcoming Mediocrity, Volume One</em> was birthed. I had an amazing lineup of women in that book with some very powerful stories.</p> <p>I didn't necessarily know how to navigate a co-authored book project. At that point, I was new, but I was fortunate that Michelle Prince helped me. I learned from her and she mentored me, and I had another great friend who helped me. I was able to figure it out. My project 10 books later is completely different. We take our clients through a whole process of how to write a book and how to find their story and how to deliver some amazing teaching points. We give our clients a lot of exposure. We've got a whole program to help them build their profitable business.</p> <p>When that first book was done, like a baby, we enjoyed that little bundle of joy. Even though you don't sleep a whole lot, you enjoy it, and you think maybe I'll have another baby. And then time goes on, and the baby gets a little easier, and you start sleeping a little bit more. And you think, oh, this baby is so cute. I love it so much, I need another one. That’s how it was with our first Overcoming Mediocrity book. We kind of got on the other side of producing the first book and I saw how the women were just loving it. So we put together our second book, which was the <em>Overcoming Mediocrity Courageous Women</em> edition. We went back and re-branded our first book to be the Dynamic Woman edition. Every book has its own subtitle. When I get a team of women onboard for each volume, I let them decide what the next book is going to be. Now I'm bringing women together for book number 10.</p> <p>But all that being said, that is the story that brought together our Overcoming Mediocrity project. It’s a way to help women find their stories. We have a lot of things in our life that happened to us, but what is our signature story? What is the story that we're going to share with the world so we can make a bigger impact? How are we going to use our story to connect with our prospects and to build loyalty with our clients? How are we going to use a book to get more visibility? How are we going to be able to use a book to build another profit center in our business so we can not only sell books, but we can increase the offerings we provide our clients. Maybe we can increase our offerings by providing other avenues to support our clients. Maybe we're just writing our story and sharing it so we can leave a legacy so other people can get to know us and know our journey I know in one of our books.</p> <p>My mom is amazing, but unfortunately, we lost her this year during COVID. But I will say one of the blessings of doing this project is that I was able to have my mom's story featured in one of our books. She wasn't really up for writing her story, so I had someone interview her and put together her story. And that is a legacy that I will have forever. I wanted to share that because there's a lot of reasons why people join our project. And there's a lot of reasons why people want to share their stories. That is my story. That is how I got on the journey to help women share their stories.</p> <p>Part 2</p> <p>The first thing I want to share is that I believe that everybody has a story to share. I believe and I have seen over and over again that our stories can either hold us back, or they can propel us forward. And once we're able to master the story of our lives, we're able to really help other people change the story of their life. That is what I feel my purpose is. To help people step into their power, live their greatness, share their stories with other people, and honestly build a very successful business based on their story. It's honestly more than our story. It's about our purpose. Because I am a woman of faith. And I believe that God put us on a particular journey, to be able to allow us to experience what we need to so we can do something very specific. And you've seen in some of our guests, and I've seen after talking to hundreds, if not 1000s of women, how their journey, how their story, how their biggest challenge in life has brought them to a place that they feel they want to build a business around that.</p> <p>Your story is what people connect to. Nobody wants to buy your product or service as much as they want to buy you. Let's say you are shopping for insurance agents. There are many insurance people out there that have great products. And there are many insurance agents out there that have very similar products. But I bet you the reason why you chose your insurance agent, is because you connected with that person on a more personal level. There was something about them. How they treated you, how you got to know them, how they got to know you, maybe you were referred to them, but there's something on a personal level that allowed you to make the decision to work with that person.

Nobody wants to buy your product or service as much as they want to buy you. Let's say you are shopping for insurance agents. There are many insurance people out there that have great products. And there are many insurance agents out there that have very similar products. But I bet you the reason why you chose your insurance agent, is because you connected with that person on a more personal level. There was something about them. How they treated you, how you got to know them, how they got to know you, maybe you were referred to them, but there's something on a personal level that allowed you to make the decision to work with that person. If you were faced with two insurance agents, and you realize that this insurance agent really gets me, they understand the problems that I have or that I could potentially have and they're going to support me. Wouldn't you be more inclined to work with that person? Of course, you would.</p> <p>Let me share another story about another client who has a journey that is completely different than what she does now. The principles that she learned on her journey has allowed her to become an expert at what she does. This client has an amazing story of her journey as being an equine trainer, a horse trainer. We were trying to figure out how to take her story and leverage it in her business right now because it is not working with horses. The principles that she learned on her horse journey, the system that she created for herself, is something that she learned that she could transfer and correlate to an outside perspective. She does the exact steps, but different industry.</p> <p>We as professionals need to recognize how our stories are meant for us to become skilled at something very specific.</p> <p>#1 – Understand your purpose. What is your purpose? What is the journey your life has? What is the journey that you've been on that has set you up perfectly to do something very specific? Be able to leverage your story and be able to build a profitable legacy business by identifying your true purpose. When you have your purpose, everything will become easier. You will not be beating your head against the wall. You're going to be crystal clear on your direction. When you're in that position, you have this presence about you and this energy around that makes you attractive to other people. People are going to be drawn to you when you start living your purpose, because you're living your life with abundance and ease, and people are going to see that and they're going to want to be a part of it.</p> <p>#2 – Focus on your income. Money is important, but money is not the most important thing. In business, money flow is energy flow. The more money that comes in, the more energy that comes in. The more energy you can give to your clients the more money you have to create more freedom in your life. The more money you have, the you can become bigger and better at what you do. Wherever you are, whatever you're trying to do, the money will allow you to expedite your result. Money can give you the freedom to take Friday's off, take a week off, take a month off. It gives you the freedom to do nice things for people, it gives you the freedom to make decisions that you couldn't make if you were broke. Your purpose will bring you to the money if you have the right systems in place</p> <p>#3 – Have systems in place. You have to have the right systems in place to make it happen in what I call continuity. You can't be building your business by grasping at straws. There is a simple step-by-step process for you to build out a profitable business model that has an evergreen, scalable offer that you can start out small, grow it, make it bigger, bring your right people into it, support them, help them, get that machine operating well and then go to the next level and keep building it out. Be very clear on who you serve, how you serve them. Know the solutions that you can provide to your clients to get them great results.

Because if we were to sum it up my message to individuals to professionals to women is it's never too late. And you're never too old. My story is long, because I'm old. I'm going to start with a 10-year period in the 90s. That really was the foundation for who I am now, how I think, what I do, how I create my life, and many of your listeners may be familiar with Lou Tice and the Pacific Institute. I worked with Lou, I mentored with Lou, I was part of the institute's faculty, I was part of the International Speaker's Bureau, and the Pacific Institute is an international educational institute. And the focus of all the programs is around mindset, critical thinking skills. So I had the good fortune over a 10 year period of going on out into the world delivering this information, public sector, private sector, nonprofit. I became who I am now, because as I learned from Lou and all of the research psychologists that we worked with. There's certain ways of thinking to create the life that you do want.</em></p> <p><em>My mother-in-law had Alzheimer's disease, my father-in-law had terminal cancer, my best friend was dying of breast cancer, my infant grandson was taken off life support and passed away. All of those life things that typically would happen over a period of time, for me, happened in a very condensed period of time. And had it not been for the incredible mentoring and training from Lou Tice, I don't know that I would have had the mental, emotional, even physical strength to get through some of those big life hits. While that was happening, I was traveling around working for the Pacific Institute, my marriage was dying too. I made a decision that after 25 years in that relationship to walk out the door, because my soul was dying. I know many people can relate to that right now, whether it's been a long term career in corporate, whether it's been a long time relationship, my soul was dying.</em></p> <p><em>I knew that there was so much more to life and so much more to me. And so I walked out of that marriage, and I moved across the country with virtually my life in a trash bag and landed there with no business, no contacts, no money. However, I had a dream. And I had the critical thinking skills to reinvent myself. I've given that trash bag away to a lot of people to who made a decision after hearing my story. I landed on the east coast. What I didn't know was how to market. And these were the days where social media was really just becoming a thing. So I knew I needed to learn that piece. So I hired a high-level marketing coach out of New York. And I knew she had passed the million-dollar mark. I hired her and said, look, I'm way older than you, I have less time, I want you to teach me everything I need to know. And I will do it. Because another one of my principles that I teach is she who implements wins.</em></p> <p><em>I did take my speaking and coaching business way up to the million dollar mark. I was traveling all around the place, loving what I was doing. However, what happened then that took me to the next phase of transformation is that you cannot be on the road three weeks of every month, different hotels, different countries, different stages, different cultures, different time zones, and maintain a certain level of health. It was in Chicago in January. This particular year, I'd been on the road for three weeks and I was tired. I had been to Argentina, Florida, California, Seattle, Vancouver and was heading back and landed in Chicago. There was only one Saturday connecting flight from Chicago to where I lived in London, Ontario and it got cancelled. Then I went into the washroom in the airport, and I looked in the mirror, and I didn't recognize who was looking back at me. I had big black bags under my eyes. I was inflamed. My skin tone was gray. I put on weight, I was exhausted. And I and I just started crying.</em></p> <p><em>I vowed right then and there that I was going to make some changes. When I got back home, I called my personal trainer and I said I need to make some changes. While I am a workout fanatic, I love working out and my personal trainer said, it's not your exercise, it's your nutrition. I argued it wasn’t my nutrition. I worked for Weight Watchers for eight years. I know my nutrition. He said, no, you don't. He said, I want you to try this system for 30 days, it will change everything for you. I did follow his nutritional advice. The nutritional system, the exercise changed everything for me. When you’ve got your health and energy you really can take on the world.</em></p> <p><em>Then what happened simultaneously, my very best friend like my soul sister in Ontario was diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer. I took a bit of a sabbatical from my business because she was divorced like me, entrepreneur like me, lived alone like me, were best friends. So I took her to every chemo visit every Friday. After every surgery, I moved in with her to make sure she was okay and all through hospice care. We had a lot of those deathbed conversations and she said you need to stop talking about making money, and you need to start talking to women about how you've transformed your health. So she passed away. And I made a commitment to myself at that time that I am going to make another change in my life. Because while I was there for her, I recognize where I lived, I had nobody there for me. So I moved back across the country I sold everything again. I came back here to be near my family. I made a decision to downsize my life. I downsized all my mastermind groups, all my coaching clients, I had a full speaking calendar. I loved speaking and it was prime places, prime fee for service, it was perfect for 2020 and 2021. And then COVID hit. My business died overnight. I lost probably close to $200,000 - $250,000 in revenue overnight. Now, what I used to coach in my mastermind groups and with my clients was you've always got to have additional streams of revenue, always. And I walked my talk. So I did have this third stream of revenue an online business in the wellness space. And with COVID and being isolated, online is the way to go. So I rolled up my sleeves and got to work helping women now online get healthy and wealthy. And in working with my speaking coach, we've changed my signature talk. My message now is that for different stages of life, you can have a different purpose. You can pivot, and it is never too late. So that's my story.</em></p> <p>You have focused now on helping women become healthier and wealthier? How do you do that?</p> <p><em>Here’s two driving forces for me. I do not wake up every day to be mediocre. I have God given gifts and talents and shame on me if I don't use them. And I like I said to you earlier, I've been around enough of my friends who are dying. And they're either still dying, or they're dead. And they have died with their gifts in them, which gave me all the more stimulus if you will, to keep going and get very clear and focused on what I am doing. So I have no intention of being mediocre. And I do have every intention of standing out in the crowd, because what I know for sure, is that it's crowded at the bottom. When you start climbing, you get to the top, the view is clear, the air is fresh, there's elbow room, there's room to grow, and really be who you are. And the majority of people in life are followers. I recognize that and I recognize my leadership skills. I'm quite clear and direct and focused on stepping out and helping anybody who wants it and is ready for...]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meet Today’s Guest: Pat Mussieux</p> <p>Pat Mussieux is an internationally acclaimed speaker, award-winning business coach, TV host and author located in Edmonton, Canada.  Her newest book, ‘Business Gets Better When YOU Get Better!

I'm quite clear and direct and focused on stepping out and helping anybody who wants it and is ready for it.</em></p> <p><em>There are so many women at home right now. I read from the Business Insider that in the United States in September 860,000 women in September left the workforce. They're at home rethinking their life, they're at home rethinking their gifts, they're at home rethinking their time and their energy, and those are the women I'm working with. Whether it is health related or whether they're joining my team and creating residual in leveraged income, which is so important these days, because there's so much uncertainty outside you can bring that certainty inside and create this online business. That's my focus.</em></p> <p><em>You can't start climbing a mountain if you're not in good shape. That comes down to my five daily non negotiables.</em></p> <p><em># 1 – hydration</em></p> <p><em>#2 – sleep</em></p> <p><em>#3 – exercise</em></p> <p><em>#4 – nutrition</em></p> <p><em>#5 gratitude and meditation</em></p> <p><em>Those are my five daily non-negotiables and I intend every day to focus on those because at my 70th birthday party, I intend to take seven of my fittest, happiest, healthiest colleagues and friends with me to Sedona, and we're going to climb Cathedral Mountain. And I've been there three times now and just about made it to the top. But at 70, I'm going to the top, and we're going to meditate, and we're going to drink, we're going to celebrate.</em></p> <p><em>I have a simple formula for people.</em></p> <p><em>#1 - You've got to have a vision. Now, I typically would teach people to do a vision board, and a vision for their business in their life for six months for a year. Now I'm telling them do it for a month, because the world is so uncertain. You've got to have a vision. Without a vision, you will perish, without a vision, you just go in circles without a vision, you don't want to get out of bed. And life is to be lived. So have a vision.</em></p> <p><em>#2 - Take that vision and move it into specific goals. I focus on three goals. Most people just create a huge list. It's overwhelming. It's intimidating, it's exhausting, and they are bored again. Focus on three goals and move those three goals into three action steps. Keep it simple. Live your life, create your life with intention, and then make a decision to create that vision, to put it into action. Goals are great, but they've got to be action-oriented and move that into your calendar and commit to it in ink. You do not give yourself out.</em></p> <p><em>#3 – Celebrate your achievements no matter how big or how small. It's important to celebrate.</em></p> <p><em>#4 - The other piece is accountability. I have three accountability buddies who hold my feet to the fire. And vice versa. I have an accountability buddy for health. I have an accountability buddy for wealth and I have an accountability buddy for happiness.</em></p> <p>Pat’s Free Gift</p> <p>A complimentary 30-minute 'Pivot on Purpose' strategy call (value: $500).

Her 20 years experience, education, and involvement range from currently owning a digital marketing agency, Keystone Click, being the 2013 recipient of the “Bravo! Entrepreneur Award” from BizTimes Media, teaching undergraduate students as an adjunct professor at UW-Milwaukee, and serving on numerous boards including the Better Business Bureau of Wisconsin. Lori earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Business & Marketing from Marian University and her MBA from Cardinal Stritch University.</em></p> <p> </p> <p>What I want to talk about is your story and how you got to the place you are now. Let our audience know how you've got to be the expert you are.</p> <p><em>I was going to school to school for commercial art and graphic design. And I found I was working full time at a web development company while I was going to school and found that those were the marketing guys out doing all the fun things, they're going to golf outings, taking clients to lunch where the designers were just sitting at their desk, day in and day out. I'm like, I don't want to be doing that. At the same time, I was also taking a sociology course. I was really fascinated by how messages and visuals can really impact a decision that someone makes and that really comes down to marketing. So I shifted my educational direction to be in marketing, while also working full time.</em></p> <p><em>I was at this agency for about five years. I was doing SEO and PPC and email marketing before those were common acronyms in the space. And then actually went to a traditional marketing firm, where I was doing outdoor radio print for quite some time. They brought me on because they wanted to start tapping into the digital space a little bit. They weren't as eager as they had initially sold it. So while I learned a ton about traditional marketing and advertising, I found that my true passion is really in the digital space, because so many cool things can be done, and it's constantly evolving. In 2008, I decided to start my own shop.</em></p> <p><em>When I did start, I was just going to do websites, because that was something that I knew a lot about. I found that over time someone would ask me after we built the site, now how do we get found on Google? And I would just tell them what to do, because I knew how to do it. And or they'd say Facebook's coming up, and they're like, should my business be on Facebook? And I'd say, yeah, this is how you do it. So eventually, my clients were coming back and saying, Well, can you do this for me? Because they don't want to be doing it.</em></p> <p><em>So eventually we've evolved to become more of a strategic digital marketing agency. It was never a smooth path. I know this podcast is very much about overcoming the challenges that we faced. And I went in and started a business because I love marketing, and I'm passionate about it.</em></p> <p><em>Understanding the financials is something that I'd say, is probably one of my weakest areas. And I'm heading to a two-day workshop to better myself in this. I think that's one of the things that as a professional, and a leader is we continually need to be educating ourselves, while also aligning ourselves with those that have the strengths that are our weaknesses. It's still good to consistently be adding knowledge to our buckets. In the space that we're in digital marketing, there's new things happening all the time. We are constantly educating ourselves.</em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p>What was it like when you hired your first team member?</p> <p><em>I had no idea what I was doing. That's definitely another area where I invested some time to be properly trained. To be properly trained first on the interviewing process, I had someone coached me on how to conduct behavioral interviewing, and that significantly changed how I do interviewing. And now our interviewing process is no different than, like the sales pipeline process. It's a funnel. You have this big bucket of candidates and you have different levels of activities that you're engaging with them on to see who's going to move on to that next level.</em></p> <p>Please share the interview process you use.</p> <p><em>We will post a job that's available out on a number of channels that align with our industry. And we use a platform called Workable.com. It acts like a sales funnel, but you set the stages for the different candidates that you have. Then we do a phone interview where we ask them the same 10 questions. It's a quick 10-minute call. But the process for them scheduling the interview is one of the tests. You qualified yourself right away. The next phase, based on how that phone interview went, is what we typically like to do an in person, but now it's via zoom. It's more of a deeper conversation with some additional team members. I'm not in it at that point. It's more making sure that the team is comfortable with the personality of that individual. It's extremely important that we maintain a positive culture and workplace. And then I conduct the behavioral interview if they pass that stage, and then we also will do a skills assessment. Pending on what their role is, we want to make sure that they can actually do what it is that they say they can do.</em></p> <p>You gave me a little sneak preview on how we can be very focused in our messaging. We want to help the person that we can really give the best results. But we have to have our messaging on target. So then that way, they know we can provide the solution for them.</p> <p><em>Tip #1 - Conduct research in order to build a solid marketing plan together. And obviously, in today's day, and age content is the fuel around that. First and foremost you need to know what it is that you're trying to achieve. So earlier today, I had a phone call with a prospective client of ours, and she wants us to run some Facebook ads with her. So what is the goal? What do you what do you want to happen? She wasn't able to give me a clear answer. How do you define success if you don't even know what it is that you're trying to achieve?</em></p> <p><em>You need to know where you're trying to go. What is the goal that you're trying to achieve? Before you can build your plan anywhere. I always like to relate to it like a GPS. We have our end destination, we plug it into the phone, and you get a couple route options. And you may end up getting a detour, which I'd say 2020 is a great detour for all of us. If at the very least, and this is why I really emphasize having that plan, you've got part of the way to your goal and objective. So it's easier to follow that detour to help you achieve that goal that you have at the end of the day. Or maybe you just tweak the goal slightly, but you really need to know where you are today and where you want to be.</em></p> <p><em>When I say where are you today, some of the things that you really should be looking at are your website analytics. How much traffic is coming to your site? How are people finding you? I look at the forms on your website and see how many conversions you have. As far as social media followers, what type of engagement you have. The size of your email list is going to be extremely important to take a look at as well as the open rates. If you have videos, a good metric to look at is the time watched on your videos. Then just high level looking at your content. Where are you distributing your content? What is the message that's being conveyed? And then you're just looking at those end results. You want to know where you are today. Where is it that you want to get to, and then that's when you build your roadmap on how it is you're going to achieve that.</em></p> <p><em>Tip #2 - Take a look at your competition. I don't want you to put too much thought into this, that you're constantly looking at them. But when you're looking at that that destination that you're trying to reach, it's really good to see what competition you have out there and take a look at what they're doing.</em></p> <p><em>We typically recommend looking at about three to five competitors. You want to look at where are they showing up online? What channels on social media? Are they sending out newsletters? Are they blogging? And what is it that they're saying? Is there a consistent message that's being conveyed? Or are they just kind of all over the place? What type of content are they publishing that people are engaging with? You also want to take a look at how they are showing up in the search engines. When you are Googling for your offering, and your competitor shows up, but you don't, that may give you some insight into what they're doing on their website and the type of content that they're creating. You can also take a look at what kind of ads they're buying. On LinkedIn, and Facebook, you can type in any company's name, their page on those channels, and see what ads that they've been doing.</em></p> <p><em>Tip #3 - Really understand your customer. And there's an exercise that we like to do with our clients, which is to identify who your favorite customer is to work with. Try to get inside their head and you want to understand what is their biggest pain? What are their values? What's important to them? Who is it that they're trying to impress? And why is this important? Understanding the ins and outs of that ideal customer is going to be extremely important. But at the end of the day, you really want to know what is it exactly that they want from you. You can conduct this research on your own or you can find a third party. I find when we do this, we get a lot more information, if we're speaking to our clients customer, as opposed to them getting it direct.</em></p> <p><em>You want to understand when the third party is involved, they can ask additional questions...]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>With a core personal value of lifelong-learning, Lori Highby has shared creative and strategic digital marketing, personal branding, and entrepreneurship lessons with people and organizations from all over. Her 20 years experience, education, and involvement range from currently owning a digital marketing agency, Keystone Click, being the 2013 recipient of the “Bravo! Entrepreneur Award” from BizTimes Media, teaching undergraduate students as an adjunct professor at UW-Milwaukee, and serving on numerous boards including the Better Business Bureau of Wisconsin. Lori earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Business & Marketing from Marian University and her MBA from Cardinal Stritch University.</em></p> <p> </p> <p>What I want to talk about is your story and how you got to the place you are now. Let our audience know how you've got to be the expert you are.</p> <p><em>I was going to school to school for commercial art and graphic design. And I found I was working full time at a web development company while I was going to school and found that those were the marketing guys out doing all the fun things, they're going to golf outings, taking clients to lunch where the designers were just sitting at their desk, day in and day out. I'm like, I don't want to be doing that. At the same time, I was also taking a sociology course. I was really fascinated by how messages and visuals can really impact a decision that someone makes and that really comes down to marketing. So I shifted my educational direction to be in marketing, while also working full time.</em></p> <p><em>I was at this agency for about five years. I was doing SEO and PPC and email marketing before those were common acronyms in the space. And then actually went to a traditional marketing firm, where I was doing outdoor radio print for quite some time. They brought me on because they wanted to start tapping into the digital space a little bit. They weren't as eager as they had initially sold it. So while I learned a ton about traditional marketing and advertising, I found that my true passion is really in the digital space, because so many cool things can be done, and it's constantly evolving. In 2008, I decided to start my own shop.</em></p> <p><em>When I did start, I was just going to do websites, because that was something that I knew a lot about. I found that over time someone would ask me after we built the site, now how do we get found on Google? And I would just tell them what to do, because I knew how to do it. And or they'd say Facebook's coming up, and they're like, should my business be on Facebook? And I'd say, yeah, this is how you do it. So eventually, my clients were coming back and saying, Well, can you do this for me? Because they don't want to be doing it.</em></p> <p><em>So eventually we've evolved to become more of a strategic digital marketing agency. It was never a smooth path. I know this podcast is very much about overcoming the challenges that we faced. And I went in and started a business because I love marketing, and I'm passionate about it.</em></p> <p><em>Understanding the financials is something that I'd say, is probably one of my weakest areas. And I'm heading to a two-day workshop to better myself in this. I think that's one of the things that as a professional, and a leader is we continually need to be educating ourselves, while also aligning ourselves with those that have the strengths that are our weaknesses. It's still good to consistently be adding knowledge to our buckets. In the space that we're in digital marketing, there's new things happening all the time. We are constantly educating ourselves.</em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p>What was it like when you hired your first team member?</p> <p><em>I had no idea what I was doing. That's definitely another area where I invested some time to be properly trained. To be properly trained first on the interviewing process, I had someone coached me on how to conduct behavioral interviewing, and that significantly changed how I do interviewing. And now our interviewing process is no different than, like the sales pipeline process. It's a funnel. You have this big bucket of candidates and you have different levels of activities that you're engaging with them on to see who's going to move on to that next level.</em></p> <p>Please share the interview process you use.</p> <p><em>We will post a job that's available out on a number of channels that align with our industry. And we use a platform called Workable.com. It acts like a sales funnel, but you set the stages for the different candidates that you have. Then we do a phone interview where we ask them the same 10 questions. It's a quick 10-minute call. But the process for them scheduling the interview is one of the tests. You qualified yourself right away. The next phase, based on how that phone interview went, is what we typically like to do an in person, but now it's via zoom. It's more of a deeper conversation with some additional team members. I'm not in it at that point. It's more making sure that the team is comfortable with the personality of that individual. It's extremely important that we maintain a positive culture and workplace. And then I conduct the behavioral interview if they pass that stage, and then we also will do a skills assessment. Pending on what their role is, we want to make sure that they can actually do what it is that they say they can do.</em></p> <p>You gave me a little sneak preview on how we can be very focused in our messaging. We want to help the person that we can really give the best results. But we have to have our messaging on target. So then that way, they know we can provide the solution for them.</p> <p><em>Tip #1 - Conduct research in order to build a solid marketing plan together. And obviously, in today's day, and age content is the fuel around that. First and foremost you need to know what it is that you're trying to achieve. So earlier today, I had a phone call with a prospective client of ours, and she wants us to run some Facebook ads with her. So what is the goal? What do you what do you want to happen? She wasn't able to give me a clear answer. How do you define success if you don't even know what it is that you're trying to achieve?</em></p> <p><em>You need to know where you're trying to go.

Why do they keep buying from you? Do they refer you business? Why or why not? You also want to ask some non-business questions like what social media channels are you on? Do you listen to any podcasters? Do you subscribe to any newsletters and just better understand what your ideal customer is doing as an individual and a human being. The better that you can understand that customer, where they're hanging out online, what pains they have, you can ultimately craft content and position it in the right spot to attract that ideal customer to you.</em></p> <p>I want you to go back to the ideal client, because I know we kind of breezed by that and you are on point with we've got to get inside their head, but why is it important?</p> <p><em>If you're trying to help the world and help everyone, you're helping no one unfortunately. I can build a website for anybody. But we very clearly state that we pursue and target the B2B industrial manufacturer. We've done websites for all walks of life. But when you're trying to attract a certain type of person, you need to be very clear and concise in that messaging. What you want is someone to land on your site or see a post and go, this is exactly what I'm looking for. And if you're not clearly conveying that you're confusing them. You can have multiple segments that you pursue, but you just have to make sure that you're clearly communicating that you work with a, b, and c type companies. You don't work with everybody.</em></p> <p>Lori’s Free Gift:</p> <p><em>My team and I have put together this Guide to Profits. It's fantastic.

Melissa, what is that? What is it that you want to share with our audience today?</p> <p><em>I mentioned earlier that it was about four or five years before I really even took ownership of my business. It took a few more years to wrap my head around, what should I be doing? What should I be doing differently? What should I be doing next? And so in sharing these five tips with you, I'm hoping that you get to your goal faster, and that it doesn't take you 20 years to have a scalable business that gives you the freedom that you want to enjoy in your personal life.</em></p> <p><em>Tip #1 – Be honest. Be honest with yourself. Be honest with your clients. Do good work, do what you say you're gonna do. If someone hires you to do a job, do a good job, just be honest with yourself. 'm a firm believer in what you put out there will come back to you that has been proven to me again and again over the years.</em></p> <p><em>Tip #2 – Figure out your special sauce. What are you really, really, really good at? What are your talents? And then what areas do you struggle? What areas of your business or really even of your life are such a chore for you that you put them off and put them off and put them off and never get around to them? Be honest, figure out what works and then build a team to fill the holes in.</em></p> <p><em>Tip #3 – Setting goals. I'm a big analogy person, imagine that I am feeling a little bit chubby, and I want to lose some weight. If I set a goal to lose weight, that's really doesn't mean anything. And a couple months from now, I'm probably still going to be chubby. No change, maybe I gained five pounds. If I were to apply my SMART, which is an acronym, my SMART goal recipe to that same situation, it would look a little different. So smart stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant or realistic, and Time bound. So let's take that same initiative. I'm chubby, and I don't like it. And let's reword the goal and say something to the effect of I have a vacation coming up in June, I have three months to lose 20 pounds, my goal is to lose 20 pounds in three months, by a specific date. When we are clear on what we want, and when we want it, magic happens.</em></p> <p><em>Tip #4 – Know your numbers. Numbers do not lie. And they're telling you a story. If you look back at the last month or the last year and you read these nerdy reports that come out of your bookkeeping system, you're going to discover some hidden secrets in there. Where are you making money? Where are you bleeding money, where your expenses going at the end of the day or at the end of the year. You really want to know what you've got.</em></p> <p><em>Tip #5 – Imagine. I'll leave you with the thought that everything exists now, was first imagined. Right? So imagine a better place, imagine a better system? Why are you self-employed? Is it that you were doing this job in a different capacity and decided you could do it better? If you went out on your own? What else could you be doing better? Where is that next step for you. And to be kind of constantly on a track of improvement.</em></p> <p>Melissa’s Free Gift:</p> <p>We have put together this all-inclusive, it's only on two pages, checklist of things that you would need in order to prepare your taxes, whether you're working with someone or whether you're doing it yourself.

She would be thrilled to work with any company that instills the same healthy lifestyle that she, America’s favorite gluten-free Mom, promotes.</em></p> <p>There are some things that you are working on. So why don't you let us know what that is? And then let us know how you got to be the expert at where you are at right now.</p> <p><em>So back 14, 15 years ago, I was somebody dealing with infertility, a brand new celiac diagnosis, playing in the multi-level marketing space, not doing a whole lot with it, but just kind of being out there networking and just looking for my purpose, and seeking what is that passion. We were fortunate enough through IVF and infertility treatment to have three girls in three years, which created a bit of busyness. Some may call it chaos, but they helped me find my passion.</em></p> <p><em>So not only was I diagnosed with celiac, but my girls were also all born with food allergies, one has Crohn's disease, and another one has celiac disease. And that just pushed us forward into our passion of helping people find a thriving lifestyle, find a life that they love using food as medicine. Sent me back to school for a functional medicine certification and launched a whole coaching business and wrote 16 more books, an international bestseller last year. And now I write actually, for Natural Awakenings, which is a conscious green, I'd call it kind of like a hippie mom type natural living magazine, I have a column that we write there as well. And it's just a wonderful space where we've went in these 15 years.</em></p> <p>How can kind of get our body to become healthier and better to function the way it's supposed to, by fueling it correctly? How do you work with your clients?</p> <p><em>I can empathize with them. And I can be right there with them. I myself have four autoimmune diagnosis is now which is nothing to brag about it. But I find that I'm not alone. And the more people that realize that they come forward, and the clients and some of the women in the area, will even say, oh my gosh, I don't know how you do all of that I lay in bed, or I crash at three o'clock. And I hear these things. And what I have found that there's these five simple things. And when you put them together, it just changes your day, it changes your energy, and it changes your life to where you can kind of go back to what you want to do.</em></p> <p><em>Tip #1 – Picking the healthiest food for you. Ensuring you've got the fruits and vegetables that your body actually needs for optimal nutrition. Start nine cups of vegetables, and then four to six cups of fruit every day. Before you reach for carbs, before you reach for protein any of that other stuff. That's your base.</em></p> <p><em>Tip #2 – Water. We've got to constantly be hydrating, but also the hydration also helps flush out. Drink half your body weight in ounces. If you’re 150 pounds drink about 75 ounces of water. A lot of the functional doctors, they'll just tell you to drink enough water until your urine is clear. And if you've got clear urine, then you don't have to count your water.</em></p> <p><em>Tip #3 – Exercise. Just 20 minutes of some sort of movement. The 20 minutes of exercise will help your body generate growth hormone. And so you can regenerate cells, you can regenerate brain cells, you can regenerate organ cells, you can regenerate tissue in different places, you can regenerate your livers, like all of this stuff can regrow, but you need growth hormone. And one way to get growth hormone naturally is by 20 minutes of some sort of movement.</em></p> <p><em>Tip #4 – Decluttering. That clutter, it builds up in our environment and it induces a stress hormone. And so that stress hormone is what really plays into our health. And if you have an autoimmune condition, it could cause your autoimmune to flare. If you've got a like residual virus, whether it's mono or herpes, or shingles, or something like that, that induced stress can cause those to flare as well. Just go through your house and remove at least one item a day.</em></p> <p><em>Tip #5 – Epsom salt soak. You can get your whole self in the tub or you put your feet in the bath with Epsom salt. The salt will help your magnesium levels, it will help your mineral levels in your body, which will help with muscle relaxation. And magnesium helps with your intestinal muscles working the correct way. So you can actually go to the bathroom with ease. And then the other thing is, the Epsom salt will pull additional toxins out of the bottoms of your feet and help as well with detoxification that we need to do to eliminate the years of toxic buildup.</em></p> <p>Can you explain a little bit the difference between celiac and crohn’s diseases?</p> <p><em>Celiac disease is a genetic. Right now it's gene based, and you have to have the genes that have celiac disease, and they have to be triggered and turned on. You could have one gene or two genes, depending on if your parents were carriers. And you may have them your whole life and it may never get triggered. And so what happens with celiac disease is that your body cannot process the protein gluten. That protein is found in wheat, barley and rye. And it's basically it starts to affect your body in many ways. The very first way that it affects, is in your digestive tract, it starts to act like sandpaper. You bloat you have abdominal cramping, a lot of people end up with skin disorders, or scalp scabs in their scalp.</em></p> <p><em>The other thing with celiac disease is in children, a lot of times they aren't growing proportionally so they'll be under the curve. But or they'll look like these little kids with really tiny little chicken arms and legs and these big swollen bellies. And then your teeth can get these lines in them. They're horizontal lines and they're whiter than the rest of the teeth. Those lines are an indicator of actually malnutrition.</em></p> <p><em>Crohn’s disease is a multitude of symptoms, from gastro bloating, to bleeding intestines, to gas, to abdominal cramping, constipation, extreme diarrhea. Just total discomfort, but it's normally from the belly button below. So personally, my Crohn's disease is triggered by corn. We found that out. And we found out if I eat corn, I swell up and look nine months pregnant. I can't go to the bathroom for three to four days. There's no movement whatsoever. And extreme headaches, just constant pain.</em></p> <p><em>In most cases, gluten, dairy and sugar are triggers for a lot of people with gastro issues. And a lot of people are also told they have SIBO, which is a bacterial imbalance. Getting rid of those three things, the gluten, the dairy and the sugar will help resolve the pain and remove the bloat and just help you function better.</em></p> <p>Tiffany’s Free Gift:</p> <p>Tiffany’s e-book holiday guide.

I'm your classic bullied kid that turned out when she went back to her high school reunion that I was actually the bully. So I'm the reformed bully, whereby I really got to see that creating laughter as the school bully or the class clown that I was because I had a lot of stuff going on at home that I was bringing to the table. There was a lot of stuff going on personally, where making other people laugh, made me feel really, really good. That line of comedy and tragedy, I walked my whole life. I was a really, really big kid. And in order to get anybody to give me attention, I had to be the funny kid. And typically the funny kid can actually be the bully. So that's really my talk. My conversation and my journey was the emancipation of your high school class clown. It's a shift in perspective. Where, really, laughter is the best medicine.</em></p> <p>And you teach this laughter all over the world. I know you've been on some big stages, not only here in the United States, but internationally, so talk about that.</p> <p><em>I am my own worst bully. Because imagine, if you're the bully in school, who do you think else you're bullying? You're pulling yourself all day. Us comedians bully ourselves. It's like this rat race. So as my career was getting better and better, it took me a long time to look back and say, hey, Mona, you've done Carnegie Hall in less than a decade, kid. How about you tone down all your self hate? How many of us are super successful and still like I can't believe it.</em></p> <p>Where did you grew up Mona?</p> <p><em>I grew up in Chicago. I grew up by Wrigley. I have a Palestinian father who's immigrant came in 71. I have an American British mother and my grandmother immigrated after World War II from the United Kingdom. That was back when Arabs were like the hippies. My pops was in the 70s with this big Afro. And my mom's like he's super cute. So like me understanding my own identity where my Grandmother has a British accent. And my other grandmother is Palestinian like literally from the motherland. And I'm their translator because they don't speak the same language.</em></p> <p>How did you get into comedy?</p> <p><em>It was one Christmas Day. I had come back from Namibia finishing my thesis in late 20s. And my family said you need to be a comedian. My family said, listen, you're working so hard to entertain us. You need to be a comedian. I said, I just got my masters. The way they came at me was as if it was like a confessional. But that was the best journey of my life because I really did a deep dive into intellect because my first reaction was like, I'm not going to be comedian. They're dumb. Turns out, it's the exact opposite. Your comedian is your modern day philosopher, court jester, celebrity, teacher, reporter. So you have to know a lot about a lot of things.</em></p> <p>I know you have a really strong belief about comedy in our culture today. And more importantly, comedy as it really relates to our health. Can you tell us more?</p> <p><em>Tip #1 - The three tips that I would give anybody, right now, if they're listening to it, the most important rule in comedy is “yes and.” So whatever you're dealing with, lean into it. If you just got into a car accident, “yes and.” How was this car accident here to serve me? Right? So whatever's going on in your world, if you allow that the world isn't happening to you, it's happening for you. And you just have to add, these are principles of comedy. And these are principles of self-development.</em></p> <p><em>Tip #2 - The second would be a perspective exercise. Which is everything makes sense from the other person's perspective. What is that perspective? And how is noticing that gap in difference important? For example, when I walk into a comedy club, I walk in early and I evaluate my environment. Where’s the waitress staff, what's going on with that? Has the lighting been set up in my environment? What is my environment? Understanding how they interpret me. As an American comedian, who has an English accent and my type of accent? What data are they assuming is true? Based on me walking on stage?</em></p> <p><em>Tip #3 - And third, is going to sound totally counter to number one, but third is the power of no. Being able to be like no, these are my boundaries. Then you can have you have control of the mic, you have control of your voice. And that's why when I teach these comedy classes for kids because if you can navigate society by being able to say Yes, and make fun of yourself, understand how they're seeing you, and how you're seeing yourself and able to say, No, no one's ever gonna mess with your mind.</em></p> <p><em>I work on a lot of spiritual, acupuncture meditative and the comedy classes that I teach like this perspective, exercise is taught at the University of Chicago level. This is a project that I'm currently in three year project where we're teaching physicians, the art of standup comedy, as a modality to navigate society, racism, income disparities, because when a white doctor walks in looking just like you, Christie with a lab coat, and there is an African American man, that's 80 years old, he is existing in a conversation that’s tied to civil rights. So he might feel some type of way when you walk in, or you might be like, this is a black man, I don't want to I don't really don't want to insult him in any way, understanding some of the principles of comedy allows that to navigate much more holistically.

Michele’s business expertise has been highlighted during her speeches at Harvard and on NBC, CBS, Fox, Entrepreneur.com and Forbes.com. She is a Stevie Award winning business consultant, best-selling author and the Founder of Decisive Minds. She is a serial entrepreneur who knows how it feels to fail miserably at business, at one time the bank called demanding their $1.5 million and knows how it feels to sign the contract to sell her company for $9 million. Business building tips- DecisiveMinds.com</p> <p>Can you share your incredible journey with the audience today?</p> <p><em>Life has been and is still and probably will be till the day I die, about business, about entrepreneurship, about creating your own life and your own existence. So I was born into a family who had kids to guarantee they had employees. We had a grocery store, a mobile home park. My dad started the trucking company.</em> W<em>e had a laundromat. I mean, if we thought we could make a dime, we did it. The school bus dropped me off at the grocery store in the afternoon because I went to work after school. I thought everybody did that and I found out later they didn't. And I think that really is what began my love, and of business and entrepreneurs. Learning at the at the knees of my father and my grandfather and watching them negotiate and sell and treat people the way people should be treated.</em></p> <p><em>In 2007 we had the opportunity to sell our trucking company and our grocery store that year. We retired, my entire family, everyone retired when we sold those two companies. I found myself on the couch every day asking, who is Michele, at this point? What am I going to do? I did a couple of things. I started a company flipping houses, that was a lot of fun. And then the credit stuff happened in 2009. And that fell apart. I was surfing the internet one day. I don't know how I ended up on this site. And I end up on this thing that's talking about how to build businesses and the online world and all this kind of stuff. And I go to a marketing seminar in California about building businesses. It's just one little tweak. I had never done it online. I had no clue what to do there.</em></p> <p><em>I started Decisive Minds in January of 2010. And I really just thought I was going to build this online business. I was never going to speak. I wasn't going to network. I wasn't going to leave my house. Because I'm an extreme introvert. What I found out at the end of 2010 was that that doesn't necessarily work. I spent a bunch of money and made none. In January 2011, I had to sit at my father's table, this man, this entrepreneur who helped me to understand who I am, and telling him that I didn't quite make any money with all this time I spent in this business. And I'll never forget this. He said, I don't think that's a viable company. I think you should stop doing that. We need to look for something else for you. I like turned on a dime. And within the next 18 months, I was doing six figures. That was the thing that lit my fire.</em></p> <p><em>And that's really why I started this business, I started Decisive Minds, because everything I have been through in my life and you know, we had the failures. I'll never forget the day the bank called and said, hey, we want our $1.5 million back. So I've been through the trenches in all the businesses that we've had, and including Decisive Minds, and come out the other side on many of them. I've done it all when it comes to business. I think I bring a unique perspective to the business consulting world, because of my experience in the past.</em></p> <p>Can you share some of your tips with our audience today and share a little bit about what you think 2021 is going to look like?</p> <p><em>I had a magazine reach out to me not too long ago and ask me this exact question like, what do you see is going to be different in the world in 2021 for entrepreneurs. And first, I want to say, I really hope that people take the time to look for the opportunity. And don't just fall back into old habits. What I see different in 2021 is what we're experiencing right now, which is, it's gonna be all businesses will be way more virtual. It doesn't matter what kind of business you're running right now. You're realizing maybe I don't need to have everyone in one office, maybe I can have a more virtual team or let my employees work from home.</em></p> <p><em>My business, Decisive Minds, as a consulting business from day one, I set it up as a virtual company, because almost none of my clients are in the same town as me. So we did most of our consulting through Zoom activities, and then a couple of times a year we come together in person. I think that that's going to just kind of become the new norm, the new mainstream opportunity.</em></p> <p><em>The second thing is that there's a lot of business owners who do things because that's the way they've always been done. Challenge the status quo. You don't need to do it just because it's always been that way. I think that what we see in 2021 moving forward is it's going to be a more virtual world. For those of you who need to start to make those changes, start to embrace and move forward in that and don't just go back to I have to do everything the way I used to do.</em></p> <p>You're a master content creator, but you still had to make some shifts you mentioned. So tell us a little bit about that.</p> <p><em>I had to make some changes. I seriously went after getting seen and getting known and getting heard and putting out a lot of content, like sucking it up and going to networking events, and doing all those things that I absolutely did not want to do.</em></p> <p><em>I was invited by the director for eWomen in Houston to talk about my book which I turned into an e-book. I walked into that event terrified. I gave a 15-minute talk. My first ever real talk in this world. And 20 women handed me a check for $100 apiece. I walked out with $2,000 in my pocket. And from the little course that I sold, and they got the e-book for free with the course. I call my coach and said, okay, I can do this. How do I how do I make this bigger at that moment? That was my first real win.</em></p> <p><em>Then I came out and I really just I got it that I had to go do those pieces. I had to be seen. That first year, I made a lot of videos. Not a single one of them has my face on it. I knew at that point I had to shift. That people have to engage with me and that they need to see me. So relationship, there's voice, they hear you. That's one level of relationship. They see you. That's another level of relationship. They meet you in person. That's a different level of relationship.</em></p> <p><em>The shift for me, has been that I built a really big business. Decisive Minds got huge. And then I went, oh wait, this isn't really what I want. All of a sudden, I woke up one day and didn’t want to do all of this. And so 2019 was a really rough year health wise for me. And things started to kind of kind of slow down. And then who knew 2020 would look like it does, right? But here's what I realized, this is the opportunity for me to shift into something that's the other thing I love.</em></p> <p><em>I have a degree in accounting, I love the numbers, the reason I can help you build your business is because I understand all of that. My dad told me when I was really little, he's like, look, you don't have to become an accountant. But you should go get an accounting degree. Because when you understand the numbers, you can build any business you want. So that's one of the things I do with all of my clients is make them pay attention to their numbers. I realized I should really be speaking on those topics and building that. What you will more than likely see from me in 2021 is a virtual bookkeeping service tied in to a training type of scenario around this whole conversation of if you're failing, and we look at the numbers, what can we do different? What can we see different? Where is the issue coming from?</em></p> <p>You are a master of content creation. Can you share some tips on that?</p> <p><em>#1 - Consistency is the key to success in content marketing and creating content. You say you’re going to put out a blog three times a week. You do that every week for a long time. Guess what you have? You end up with 1,000 blog posts on your site like me. Use content in multiple ways. When I create something, how can I use it five times?</em></p> <p><em>#2 - Partner with others. You do not have to be the creator of the content to get value from the content. Bring in people who are going to share great content with your community.</em></p> <p><em>#3 - I don't I don't necessarily write my own stuff. I use PLR, which is private label rights content. So I have writers who write things that I purchased from them and can put my name on, I might modify them slightly. When I hire someone to write things for me, and they give it to me, I barely change anything. It's more important that I was being consistent and putting out great content. Until I tell them that it's not really me writing it. No one knows.</em></p> <p>Michele’s Free Gift:</p> <p>I have a little course called 28 Days to Grow Your List.

I mean, if we thought we could make a dime, we did it. The school bus dropped me off at the grocery store in the afternoon because I went to work after school. I thought everybody did that and I found out later they didn't. And I think that really is what began my love, and of business and entrepreneurs. Learning at the at the knees of my father and my grandfather and watching them negotiate and sell and treat people the way people should be treated.</em></p> <p><em>In 2007 we had the opportunity to sell our trucking company and our grocery store that year. We retired, my entire family, everyone retired when we sold those two companies. I found myself on the couch every day asking, who is Michele, at this point? What am I going to do? I did a couple of things. I started a company flipping houses, that was a lot of fun. And then the credit stuff happened in 2009. And that fell apart. I was surfing the internet one day. I don't know how I ended up on this site. And I end up on this thing that's talking about how to build businesses and the online world and all this kind of stuff. And I go to a marketing seminar in California about building businesses. It's just one little tweak. I had never done it online. I had no clue what to do there.</em></p> <p><em>I started Decisive Minds in January of 2010. And I really just thought I was going to build this online business. I was never going to speak. I wasn't going to network. I wasn't going to leave my house. Because I'm an extreme introvert. What I found out at the end of 2010 was that that doesn't necessarily work. I spent a bunch of money and made none. In January 2011, I had to sit at my father's table, this man, this entrepreneur who helped me to understand who I am, and telling him that I didn't quite make any money with all this time I spent in this business. And I'll never forget this. He said, I don't think that's a viable company. I think you should stop doing that. We need to look for something else for you. I like turned on a dime. And within the next 18 months, I was doing six figures. That was the thing that lit my fire.</em></p> <p><em>And that's really why I started this business, I started Decisive Minds, because everything I have been through in my life and you know, we had the failures. I'll never forget the day the bank called and said, hey, we want our $1.5 million back. So I've been through the trenches in all the businesses that we've had, and including Decisive Minds, and come out the other side on many of them. I've done it all when it comes to business. I think I bring a unique perspective to the business consulting world, because of my experience in the past.</em></p> <p>Can you share some of your tips with our audience today and share a little bit about what you think 2021 is going to look like?</p> <p><em>I had a magazine reach out to me not too long ago and ask me this exact question like, what do you see is going to be different in the world in 2021 for entrepreneurs. And first, I want to say, I really hope that people take the time to look for the opportunity. And don't just fall back into old habits. What I see different in 2021 is what we're experiencing right now, which is, it's gonna be all businesses will be way more virtual. It doesn't matter what kind of business you're running right now. You're realizing maybe I don't need to have everyone in one office, maybe I can have a more virtual team or let my employees work from home.</em></p> <p><em>My business, Decisive Minds, as a consulting business from day one, I set it up as a virtual company, because almost none of my clients are in the same town as me. So we did most of our consulting through Zoom activities, and then a couple of times a year we come together in person. I think that that's going to just kind of become the new norm, the new mainstream opportunity.</em></p> <p><em>The second thing is that there's a lot of business owners who do things because that's the way they've always been done. Challenge the status quo. You don't need to do it just because it's always been that way. I think that what we see in 2021 moving forward is it's going to be a more virtual world. For those of you who need to start to make those changes, start to embrace and move forward in that and don't just go back to I have to do everything the way I used to do.</em></p> <p>You're a master content creator, but you still had to make some shifts you mentioned. So tell us a little bit about that.</p> <p><em>I had to make some changes. I seriously went after getting seen and getting known and getting heard and putting out a lot of content, like sucking it up and going to networking events, and doing all those things that I absolutely did not want to do.</em></p> <p><em>I was invited by the director for eWomen in Houston to talk about my book which I turned into an e-book. I walked into that event terrified. I gave a 15-minute talk. My first ever real talk in this world. And 20 women handed me a check for $100 apiece. I walked out with $2,000 in my pocket. And from the little course that I sold, and they got the e-book for free with the course. I call my coach and said, okay, I can do this. How do I how do I make this bigger at that moment? That was my first real win.</em></p> <p><em>Then I came out and I really just I got it that I had to go do those pieces. I had to be seen. That first year, I made a lot of videos. Not a single one of them has my face on it. I knew at that point I had to shift. That people have to engage with me and that they need to see me. So relationship, there's voice, they hear you. That's one level of relationship. They see you. That's another level of relationship. They meet you in person. That's a different level of relationship.</em></p> <p><em>The shift for me, has been that I built a really big business. Decisive Minds got huge. And then I went, oh wait, this isn't really what I want. All of a sudden, I woke up one day and didn’t want to do all of this. And so 2019 was a really rough year health wise for me. And things started to kind of kind of slow down. And then who knew 2020 would look like it does, right? But here's what I realized, this is the opportunity for me to shift into something that's the other thing I love.</em></p> <p><em>I have a degree in accounting, I love the numbers, the reason I can help you build your business is because I understand all of that. My dad told me when I was really little, he's like, look, you don't have to become an accountant. But you should go get an accounting degree. Because when you understand the numbers, you can build any business you want. So that's one of the things I do with all of my clients is make them pay attention to their numbers. I realized I should really be speaking on those topics and building that. What you will more than likely see from me in 2021 is a virtual bookkeeping service tied in to a training type of scenario around this whole conversation of if you're failing, and we look at the numbers, what can we do different? What can we see different? Where is the issue coming from?</em></p> <p>You are a master of content creation. Can you share some tips on that?</p> <p><em>#1 - Consistency is the key to success in content marketing and creating content. You say you’re going to put out a blog three times a week. You do that every week for a long time. Guess what you have? You end up with 1,000 blog posts on your site like me. Use content in multiple ways. When I create something, how can I use it five times?</em></p> <p><em>#2 - Partner with others. You do not have to be the creator of the content to get value from the content. Bring in people who are going to share great content with your community.</em></p> <p><em>#3 - I don't I don't necessarily write my own stuff. I use PLR, which is private label rights content. So I have writers who write things that I purchased from them and can put my name on, I might modify them slightly. When I hire someone to write things for me, and they give it to me, I barely change anything. It's more important that I was being consistent and putting out great content. Until I tell them that it's not really me writing it. No one knows.</em></p> <p>Michele’s Free Gift:</p> <p>I have a little course called 28 Days to Grow Your List.

She has been featured on Inc.com, ABC News, and the Chicago Tribune. Jen has been mentored by speaking icons like Jack Canfield, Nick Vujicic, and Sandra Yancey, and has spoken on stage to over 10,000 people.</p> <p>With two decades of business experience, Jen built her first 4 businesses to 6 figures each, all in under a year and all in different industries. She has now helped over a thousand entrepreneurs build their businesses with many reaching 6-figure and 7-figure revenue.</p> <p>In her previous career, she developed the largest team in Illinois for a billion-dollar direct sales company, personally generating over $25 million in sales and raising over $1 million in donations for non-profits. But she is most proud of founding her own international non-profit “Handing Hope” which brings comfort and smiles to children battling cancer in twelve states and three countries around the world.</p> <p>Share with our audience a little bit about who you are.</p> <p><em>It's been a fun 20-year journey in being an entrepreneur. And I know that there's a lot to share as far as l the backstory but, I started out actually, my background is, I'm an occupational therapist, by degree. My first business was teaching people with disabilities how to drive. And so I started a private practice back in 1999. But it was a really awesome business because I got to do what I love to do, which is to give people freedom.</em></p> <p><em>I tried for six years to have kids. And so once we finally had kids, I really wanted to be home with them. So I sold my business. And I thought that what I sold it for would be enough money to get me through the time. While my first baby, she was adopted, and after like five months into having her we got pregnant with twins through IVF. And then the next year we got pregnant by surprise. All these children came and you know, adoption is expensive, IVF is expensive, kids are expensive. So I went through all the money that I had sold the practice for and was broke. I realized if I didn't do something, to be able to get us out of that financial situation, we were just going to be sunk because my husband was also an occupational therapist, and he didn't get any bonuses or things like that. So I had to find a way and I didn't want to go back to working at a business outside of the house. So I started a network marketing business.</em></p> <p><em>In that business, I really discovered my love for teaching people about business. I treated my network marketing business as a traditional business in terms of picking a target market really having marketing strategies and focusing on sharing it with friends and family and that sort of thing. I had a lot of success with that business I built it to the largest in the state of Illinois and won their Presidents Club trips multiple times and had a lot of fun with it.</em></p> <p><em>In that process, I discovered my love for teaching women how to build businesses and so that led me to start a coaching business and teaching business coaching. I built four businesses at six figures in less than 12 months, all in different industries. And there was a methodology that one of my coaches brought up to me like you have to be using some methodology like to do that. I was able to, with time, really take a reflected look at what am I doing. How am I doing that and then get it out in a way that I could actually teach it and so since then I've taught it to so many people and the results have been amazing.</em></p> <p>Please share your story about the first time you spoke, and then now, what you're able to do when you get in front of an audience, that is just an incredible journey. So why don't you share with the audience a little bit about how that first experience was?</p> <p><em>In my first experiences with speaking, I remember just front row looking at specifically one man because he started snoring. And he was in the front row, and I'm sharing and speaking and he's falling asleep. But I remember thinking at that moment I have a lot to learn about this speaking thing. I started learning more about how to do speaking, but it's funny when I look back at where I started, and now running an organization is teaching other entrepreneurs how to use speaking and using that so much in my businesses. When I look back at all the businesses that I've had such growth with, it's really speaking has been the primary strategy, and all of them, that has resulted in the growth that I've experienced and the success I've had. And so I believe it's the best-leveraged marketing strategy that we could use to grow our business. And I highly recommend it to everybody.</em></p> <p>There's so much more to speaking than getting paid on the front end, it's getting paid on the back end and just giving people a free something or other so then that you can help them and then that could lead to more business. So share about that whole process.</p> <p><em>It is a really powerful process. And it's different like what you're talking about is a keynote. And you get paid to speak. It's like a company will hire you to come in and do a keynote and pay you for that. I would say the average that somebody that's really out there as a professional speaker, they're making probably 5 to 10 thousand dollars, on average. Of course, there are lots of people that make way more than that. But I would say when you look at the bell curve what can you expect.</em></p> <p><em>But then when you look at the way that you can use speaking to grow a business if you have a strategically designed signature talk, which is what I call a signature talk that's really designed around your core business that highlights your expertise in a classy way and attracts your ideal clients. It really does become a revenue-generating machine.</em></p> <p><em>And so if that's something that interests you, the first step, to really being able to do that would be to know what your core genius is. And the reason that's important is because you really want to build your business, your core business around your core genius. Your core profits should be really focused on what you're good at. When I say core genius, what I mean by that is whatever your job is.</em></p> <p><em>If things are feeling really hard, if your business is feeling really hard if you're wanting to go into the speaking, and that's feeling really hard, it's probably foundationally, that element is missing. You're not super connected to what your core genius is because everything isn't quite working well.</em></p> <p><em>There is a lot to sequencing and understanding what is needed to build a successful business around your core genius, what your core businesses. I'm not saying that you don't need support in that, because I would highly recommend that because it's a lot faster path. That's the first place I would be asking myself, do I really know what my core genius is? Is that clear to me? And if not, I would start there. If you're interested in speaking or just building your business in general, I would really encourage any listener to start, like looking at that.</em></p> <p>Where does one go to get into the speaking world?</p> <p><em>We talked about core genius and getting your core message and like what is it that you know, what problems do you solve? What results do you bring that's really kind of all wrapped up in your 30-second introduction, which is, I think it's harder to speak for 30 seconds than it is for 30 minutes. You really want to get your core message clear and know the headaches that you solve and the results that you bring in. And that is the first step.</em></p> <p><em>The next step is learning that framework of how do I then take that and put it into a talk? How is it different than a keynote? I know there's a tendency to want to be very informational. Like when we are going to go out and speak about our service, or our product or our business, we want to like get into a lot of processes. I always encourage people not to focus on it. Yes, you can be educational, but do that inside a story because stories inspire. And stories are what connect emotionally to people. So if you're going to go out and start speaking, you want to learn how to tell a story because your signature talk should be like 50% of it.</em></p> <p><em>So learning how to tell a story, you need to have a character, you might be the character, or when you're doing your signature talk, and you're maybe making one of your powerful principal points, it could be a client story. That's what I recommend using because that's what's going to highlight your expertise in a classy way. That way, you're not promoting yourself, but the listeners being inspired by your expertise by hearing the story of how you've transformed a client's life.</em></p> <p>Jen’s 6 stages of sharing a story</p> <p><em>Stage 1 – Set the stage. Think about what you want when somebody is hearing you tell the story to be able to envision what it was like, what was normal? And what were things like?</em></p> <p><em>Stage 2 – What changed? Everything was normal. And then something occurred. And what was it that occurred, what changed?</em></p> <p><em>Stage 3 – What caused the change? What was the trigger that caused that change?</em></p> <p><em>Stage 4 – Fight the dragon. That's where the struggle occurs. That's a really interesting part of the story.</em></p> <p><em>Stage 5 - Who did you have to become, who did the character have to become as a result of the fight, the challenge.</em></p> <p><em>Stage 6 - What's the new normal?</em></p> <p><em>That's what you want to take people on in terms of a journey, of a story, and learning how to tell your personal story in that way.</em></p> <p>Jen’s story framework</p> <p><em>#1 – Working title.

Marla is a leading author at Inc.com, has appeared on Fox Business News and noteworthy publications such as American Express Open, The NY Times, TIME Business, The Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, and The Business Intelligence Report.</em></p> <p>Marla, you are a master business coach and you've been doing that for a long time. I've heard some of your success stories, how you've helped your clients. But you didn't just stumble into this career. Let the audience know how you became intertwined in the whole coaching world.</p> <p><em>It was the farthest thing from my mind. Honestly, I had a corporate career, I worked for NBC television and I really climbed the ladder there. And one day, I just decided enough. Things changed, television changed, news media changed. And I just wasn't happy anymore. I spent six months figuring out what I wanted to do when I grew up, and I didn't figure it out. So I left aimlessly without a job without a plan or anything. I did get a job pretty quickly working with a middle-market company. And I launched a new division for them doing web and kiosks development for some large clients like Sears and what was at the time of Claire's boutique.</em></p> <p><em>But you know what? I hated it. Here I was a year and a half into a very high paying job. And I learned a lot and did a lot but I hated it. And one day I was in this lovely, independent coffee house. And I was like, wow, I don't feel connected with my community. I've lived here in Naperville 30 some miles outside of the city of Chicago for at that point, probably 15 years. And I didn't have a sense of community and I didn't realize how much I was missing it. And so I bought the coffee house. I wanted community and so I created the community, little darling coffeehouse where musicians from literally all over the world came and artists came and people connected. And it turned into this really beautiful, wonderful space and experience.</em></p> <p><em>I was talking to one of my customers and he said why don’t you hire a business coach. So he introduced me to Steve and I hired him and magic happened. I felt like I wasn't in this alone anymore. Yeah, someone else invested in my success. I said to him I think I want to become a coach, but I want to do something different than what you do. And I told him people need the mindset and the emotional support to and he said I couldn't agree more and you'd make an amazing coach. So I'd like to mentor you. I sold the coffee house. And I went to school and he mentored me through school sent me pro bono clients and did all that great stuff for me. My practice took off very well and I’m going on my 18th year of coaching.</em></p> <p>When I was reading your bio, you had a little snippet about the endless chatter, that goes through our minds. And how true is that?</p> <p><em>When I first started coaching, I was ready to partner with these amazing women and help them grow their businesses, but I wasn't ready for the extraordinary amount of doubt and self-confidence that they lacked, and fear of success or failure. And really, even after going through all my coaching training, I was shocked to find that because these women, by all rights were very successful, educated women, and I just didn't expect it. And so that's when I decided within my first year of coaching, I decided that I really wanted to specialize in mindset before most people even knew what the word was. When we have a negative experience in our life our nervous system actually ingrains that into itself. And so when we're up against another challenge, where self-doubt rises, then neural pathway starts firing off and offering us the same physical response in the stomach or heart or throat, whatever it is that you get, that we had back in the original days when the belief was born. And then the other thing that we have going against us and a lot of people don't know, is the brain is predisposed to negative thinking. So it's the way we're built.</em></p> <p>Here are some basic tips from Marla for when the negative stuff comes in.</p> <p>Tip #1 - One of the things that I noticed is that entrepreneurs are so demanding of themselves. We don't really keep track of our little wins. We don't acknowledge them enough. What I started doing years ago is every time a client sends me an email that has some sort of praise or thanks or gratitude, and it's some sort of recognition, I put it in a little special folder in my email. And I also jot down like once a week, toward the end of the week, all of the positive things that I've done that week, things that support my success and the success of others. These are small tips that make a big difference. Write a diary of your wins. And when you doubt yourself, you go back to read all of the things that you've done right. You realize what a rock star you are. Take time to celebrate.</p> <p>Tip #2 - Disrupt the negative loop that goes on in our brains. We have to disrupt it by doing something like changing our physiology. It's very difficult when we're really engrossed in something negative to force ourselves to get up and move around and shift something, but it's important. We have to acknowledge that there's energy in our physiology. Stand up, go garden, go take a run, go do whatever, walk around the room, pounding your chest and singing Tarzan tunes, or whatever it is, but walk that negative loop, and you will feel so much better.</p> <p>Tip #3 - Kick the catastrophic thinking to the curb by facing our worst-case scenarios head-on. By separating the negativity from the truth from our reality. A lot of times, our minds travel down this path of destruction, and all these terrible things are going to happen, and you speak these things out loud as if that's happening. And it is important to sit down and to really think of each of those individual thoughts and ask yourself how true they are and say it out loud. The brain needs to separate itself from the problem in order to solve it effectively. So when you write things down, or you draw pictures, or even speak out loud, the brain can step back and assimilate and give you feedback, which can be very, very helpful. It's important to remember that this thinking, the way that we blow things out of proportion is not our fault, it's the brain's natural tendency.</p> <p>Tip #4 - Sit down the problem or the fear or whatever it is in front of you like, another person. And so you sit down, you talk to it, like it was separate from you and you have this back and forth conversation. And it's, it feels really weird. But you'll get the answers. Do it the way your mind is going to respond best.</p> <p>Marla’s FREE 10-day Bull Shift Challenge</p> <p><em>You'll get an email every day, setting up the problem or the common thought patterns that I see, especially in entrepreneurs and some little tips like what we did today about how to turn it around and how to empower yourself to think differently.</em></p> <p><em>Free Gift Link:</em> <a href= "https://marlatabaka.com/DPWN">https://marlatabaka.com/DPWN</a></p> <p>How to connect with Marla</p> <p>Website: <a href= "http://www.marlatabaka.com">www.marlatabaka.com</a></p> <p><em>“Oftentimes, that worst-case scenario that we build up in our heads isn't as bad as we believe it's going to be.” – Marla Tabaka</em></p> <p> </p>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meet today’s guest: Marla Tabaka</p> <p><em>Marla Tabaka is a small-business coach and adviser who helps entrepreneurs around the globe grow their businesses well into the millions.

It just kind of evolved into not just helping people find their story, but to publish them and a publishing company and everything that goes along with that. It's been an incredible journey.</em></p> <p>Tell us a little bit about what Book Bound is.</p> <p><em>Book Bound is a conference I've been doing since 2010. Pre COVID we were doing it live, in person a couple times a year, but it's basically three days and it's really designed for new authors who are trying to get clarity. What is my story? What is it? If I did want to really grow my business or leverage what I'm doing, how would I do that? Yes, the publishing part comes into it, but it's really focused on getting clarity on who you are, what do you have to offer. And then how do you go through that process? How do you market a book, all of those things? And so we've been doing that for all those years. It's been great. It's amazing to see how many people have taken that information and just kind of run with it and either created their own book or their own brand.</em></p> <p>Michelle is going to be sharing some great tips and wisdom today on how to leverage authority.</p> <p><em>We both share the love of helping people to tell their stories. And there is a place for that, right. And you don't have to want to build a business to tell your story, but those that do and people that are business owners, professionals, people that are really trying to differentiate from their competition, they have to look at their story, if you will, as it's just their ability to get more visibility, more authority, how to get more revenue, respect and results all by authoring in a book. It goes through this framework and yes, you can use this framework for anything, you don't have to write a book.</em></p> <p><em>The framework follows a seven-step process to building your authority.</em></p> <p><em>#1 – Clarity. This goes for anything in life. We you can't really accomplish anything unless you really have that clarity.</em></p> <p><em>#2 – Uncovering what’s holding you back. There's so many things that get in the way of getting things done. It could be procrastination, it could be fear, it could be negative beliefs. But there's something going on. It's usually some mind chatter. And that's what holds us back.</em></p> <p><em>#3 – How can I position my story to get more authority. People want to know your backstory. Why do you do what you do? How did you get into this?</em></p> <p><em>#4 – Documenting your story. You could document it in a blog, in a journal, you can do whatever, but you have to document your story, just because you know, the clarity on it doesn't mean it's going to benefit anyone else or benefit your brand. You have to find a way to get it out there and document it, and then publish it.</em></p> <p><em>#5 – Publishing. Yes, you can publish a book, but you can also publish a podcast, you can publish a YouTube channel. It's your story. It's really not about a book, it's more about a medium that you get to share that story at a bigger level.</em></p> <p><em>#6 – Platform. When somebody thinks of you and your brand, it's not just one thing, it's a course, it's a podcast, it's a speaking event, it's a retreat, it's your platform. That authority comes when somebody clearly sees your platform.</em></p> <p><em>#7 – Inspiring others. It's amazing what happens when you when you step into your greatness or you just recognize that you’ve been through a couple things in you business, or I've been through some things personally, that I learned a couple things here and there that I could share with other people, and it could help them. And what happens is, you don't even know it's happening, but you're inspiring other people to find their clarity and to find their story and to build their platform. And it's this cycle.</em></p> <p>Michelle’s Free Gift:</p> <p>Digital download to Michelle’s latest book: <em>“The Power of Authority, How to Get the Revenue, Respect & Results You Deserve by Authoring a Book”</em></p> <p>Free Gift Link: <a href= "http://www.thepowerofauthority.com/freebook">www.thepowerofauthority.com/freebook</a></p> <p>How to connect with Michelle</p> <p>Website: <a href= "http://www.michelleprince.com">www.michelleprince.com</a></p> <p> “What we're doing by sharing our story is that it benefits us, but it's benefiting somebody else more.” – Michelle Prince</p>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meet Today’s Guest: Michelle Prince</p> <p><em>Michelle Prince is a successful business woman, best-selling author, sought-after motivational speaker, publishing expert, leadership coach and CEO/Founder of Performance Publishing Group, a “partner” publishing company dedicated to making a difference… one story at a time.

That authority comes when somebody clearly sees your platform.</em></p> <p><em>#7 – Inspiring others. It's amazing what happens when you when you step into your greatness or you just recognize that you’ve been through a couple things in you business, or I've been through some things personally, that I learned a couple things here and there that I could share with other people, and it could help them. And what happens is, you don't even know it's happening, but you're inspiring other people to find their clarity and to find their story and to build their platform. And it's this cycle.</em></p> <p>Michelle’s Free Gift:</p> <p>Digital download to Michelle’s latest book: <em>“The Power of Authority, How to Get the Revenue, Respect & Results You Deserve by Authoring a Book”</em></p> <p>Free Gift Link: <a href= "http://www.thepowerofauthority.com/freebook">www.thepowerofauthority.com/freebook</a></p> <p>How to connect with Michelle</p> <p>Website: <a href= "http://www.michelleprince.com">www.michelleprince.com</a></p> <p> “What we're doing by sharing our story is that it benefits us, but it's benefiting somebody else more.” – Michelle Prince</p>]]></content:encoded><link><![CDATA[https://masteryunleashedpodcast.com/]]></link><guid isPermaLink="false">dd4b46ee-15b9-4bd1-87bb-e5b3cd028ce7</guid><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/1fefeeac-29cf-459f-a1dc-24a46a1ff770/2michele-prince.jpg"/><pubDate>Tue, 08 Dec 2020 14:00:00 -0400</pubDate><enclosure url="https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/4e8c5e38-df47-4049-829e-2f1b8433af91/002-michelle-prince.mp3" length="48528831" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:duration>33:42</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>OM1: Bob Burg | The Go-Giver Way</title><itunes:title>OM1: Bob Burg | The Go-Giver Way</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>Meet Today’s Guest: Bob Burg</p> <p><em>Bob Burg is a sought-after speaker at company leadership and sales conferences sharing the platform with everyone from today’s business leaders and broadcast personalities to even a former U.S. President.
