Nicole shares her journey of transitioning from operating a food business to becoming a business coach. She speaks about the ups and downs of her entrepreneurship journey, emphasizing the importance of persistence and pre-planning for long-term business operations. She highlights the challenges faced in her food business and how that has impacted her business today.

She details the concept of an "evergreen model" - a system where companies are prepared to sell and deliver products all the time. Nicole explains how this strategy is more sustainable compared to the high-pressure scenario of trying to make all sales within a specific launch period.

We touch on the importance of attuning listening skills for better customer interaction and adjusting business strategies based on the changing needs of the clients all while balancing motherhood.

If both motherhood and entrepreneurship apply to you, you can’t separate the two. Nicole discusses at length about how she successfully manages these two vital roles. Additionally illustrating the necessity of learning from past experiences, being adaptable, resilient, and having long-term perspectives in running a successful business.

In this episode I sat down with Marisa Lonic, who is an expert in time management and mindset coaching, specially geared towards mothers who are also entrepreneurs. Marisa originally had a traditional corporate career, but eventually transitioned into becoming an entrepreneur while managing her duties as a working mother of four children.

You will hear the intimate details about her journey, discussing the anxieties and challenges of balancing work and motherhood. She reflects upon her own struggles with time management and gives listeners insight into her epiphany that led her towards her current career path.

Specifically, Marisa shares that her time management improvement journey started with a mindset shift. She encourages reframing the mindset from believing "I don't have time" to "it's not a priority right now." Such a shift, she explains, forces individuals to reevaluate how they prioritize activities in their life and will help you realize if you’re investing time in the right places.

Underscoring the importance of clarity in determining daily goals, Marisa gives the statistic that 80 to 95 percent of success boils down to a strong, positive mindset. And she shares just how to do that! Her system will lead to a feeling of accomplishment and productivity.
