Did you know that you can learn from and transform your life just by conquering your fears?

Our guest Kristine Goad, owner of Surfing Your Edge Coaching, was just like (what we’re guessing) is you. She started her coaching business on a leap of faith and to conquer a fear. 

In today’s episode, Kristine and Wendy talk about women who have that one thing that they want to do but shelve it because they were afraid or didn’t know where to start or just did not have the time. 

For so many of us, we may not even realize it was a fear holding us back… it seems more like a distraction from something else important to us, so it’s easily justifiable, right?

As we chat about conquering fears, learning from mistakes and how perfection is not normal, think about what is the one thing that you would love to do but haven’t for one reason or another.

Spoiler alert: Wendy’s is surfing.

But we’d love to know, did something pop into your mind about this? Hit reply and let us know what it is.

The need to explain ourselves and justify past behaviors and mistakes feels higher for women than it does for men.

So what started this conversation? A Coach we greatly admire is being dragged through the mud because of a past mistake or misstep in their 20's. People in the online industry are challenging their credibility and expertise based on information that is more than 20 years old.

Do we have the ability to grow? Do we have the ability to change? How do you decide who to work with? What factors matter? That's what we wanted to dig into during this episode.

Scary thought sometimes, right?

As personality tests such as Myers-Briggs, and recently the Enneagram, have taken the world by storm – do you take the time to take them?

Are you *mildly* obsessed with personality assessments like we are?

Here’s something slightly controversial: We don't think we really have weaknesses.

From here on out, we’re hereby calling them:  'lesser strengths. 

Rather than looking at something as a weakness that will always be, why not have a growth mindset and look at it as a muscle that can be strengthened and that we can get better at if we put the work in?

This week on the podcast, we're talking about a tool that we've been using over the past couple of years to find out what our strengths and our lesser strengths are.

And trust us, we doubt you’ve heard about it.

This tool differs from some of the other personality tests out there like Myers-Briggs and Enneagram in that instead of placing a label on your type and putting you into a box, this tool gives a list of universal human values and shows you which ones are your greatest strengths and which ones could use some improvement.

In other words, what are the red flags in your coaching relationship that you should look at?

It's important to define the two. Both are held to a code of ethics. Both are incredibly important. But both serve very specific, very different functions in your life.

Today we dig into the important differences between the two.

It's inevitable. There are going to be parts of running your business that

A. You aren't very good at, 

or B. You don't enjoy. 

So what can you do in this scenario?

Wait, wait, wait. Hear us out. 

We KNOW they often get a bad rap and can be scary, BUT ....

Partnerships are really amazing opportunities that allow you to play to your strengths instead of having to focus on your weaknesses.

Plus, some things you definitely want to consider in the process... because we've had experience with awesome (and not awesome) partnerships, and how they can make or break your business.

Whether it's a puppy running through the house like a toddler without a diaper, or a cat that simply must lay right on top of the computer while you're trying to work, our pets are there with us as our constant companions as we work every day in this virtual world.

Have you noticed the latest phenomenon happening in the online space these days? 

A lot of people in the online space are using the words coach and consultant interchangeably…. And we’re just gonna come right out and say it.

We. Don't. Like. It. 

Why? Mostly because it’s misleading and disingenuous.

So what's the difference between a consultant and a coach? And which one do I really need?

We get this question a lot so we recorded a short episode to clear up some common misconceptions.

This week on our podcast we're talking about the difference between coaches and consultants and why it makes a big difference to you. 

If you're thinking about hiring a coach or consultant in your personal life or your business, we have some great tips that will help you make a more informed decision on hiring the right person for you.

You can listen to the episode at https://serendipitousrebelpodcast.comand then hop on over to continue this hot topic with us inside our Facebook Group: Rebel on the Go.

So what the heck does that even mean?

In this episode we break down the Serendipitous Rebel definition of purposeful pivot, what it means to us and how we apply it in our coaching program.

However you are celebrating today, it's hard to ignore the tumultuous political landscape that we seem to live in today. Whether it is Black Lives Matter, stances on abortion, climate change, January 6 or anything in between, a lot of business owners are wondering when and how to speak up and take a stance.

So Wendy and Krystal attempt to tackle this complicated question as it pertains to entrepreneurs.

Enjoy and have a safe Fourth!

This episode was inspired by an article that Wendy shared with Krystal on Apple News: The easiest businesses to start right now as a solopreneur

Most people enter entrepreneurship and think that they will be an overnight success. They also have a hard time estimating time and timing.

In this episode we talk about prioritizing consistency over intensity, how to look at different seasons in your business, and how to learn to back off so that you can avoid burnout in your business.

We are entrepreneurs just like you trying to figure shit out.

In this episode we are talking about systems.

Systems are the organized collection of subsystems that are integrated to accomplish an ultimate goal - or in other words the things we use to get shit done.

Without effective systems in place, your business will always feel frenetic. They are the foundations of your business. It's more than just having a CRM in place. It's how you function. It's hard. It's challenging. And we are talking through how we are setting things up at Serendipitous Rebel.

In this episode we introduce ourselves, tell a little of how we got here and where we plan on taking us (and you) on this journey!

Thanks for listening! We are so glad you are here!

From claims to a 4 hour work week to "I make 6 figures and only work 20 years a week," there is a lot in the industry sold as achievable and possible, but we want to challenge that idea.

Can you work only 20 hours and make 6 figures - maybe? On year 7 or with a team of people working for you....but right out of the gate - yeah - probably not.

Setting realistic expectations about your business and your priorities is essential about how you feel balanced in you life and your business. In this episode we dive into those ideas.

We are Wendy and Krystal - two entrepreneurs, two friends, and two people just trying to figure shit out!

New episodes will drop on Mondays! Be sure to subscribe and follow along as we talk about balancing the personal and professional and everything in between.
