You are called to BUILD.

But we can't always do everything ourselves. We MUST learn how to manage our time and master our minutes...as well as delegate when it's necessary to the right people who see your vision and can help you build your empire.

In this episode, I share tips on how to effectively manage your time in a way that amplifies your work and helps you achieve your goals. If you are a high-functioning, high-achieving individual, one pitfall you may run into is inadequate time management. The result...stress, overload, burnout and missed opportunities.

I want to help you avoid that because I have BEEN THERE. The difference is...I learned how to master my minutes, and you can too!

I want to challenge you in this episode to really scrutinize who you are aligning yourself with. This goes beyond just the business world, but filters into your personal life as well.

I am going to give you five great reasons why partnering with the right people is crucial for business growth.

1. Access to new networks and resources

2. Complementary skillsets and expertise

3. Shared risk and responsibility

4. Increased creativity and innovation

5. Improved accountability and performance

As I go through these, I share why these are not only crucial to your growth and development, but also because aligning yourself with high achievers (meaning, not your peers), will take you to a whole other level. When you become stagnate and find yourself never reaching that next level, it may be that you need to consider who you are aligning yourself with and evaluate their success.

Oh and one other thing...get ready because I will be bringing on some MAJOR LEAGUE people in business going forward. The guest lineup is going to be killer! Keep listening and make sure you follow the show to see who is going to be on my Podcast next!

Feel like your business is stunted and won't grow? Tired of wearing all the hats and burning the candle at both ends?

In this episode, I share some practical tips on business growth and the strategies I used to build my Companies.

It's funny how many times in my life that people have come to me asking for advice, for help, for my money...but when you give them all the tools to make something work, they just walk away and leave them on the ground.

If you're that type of person, then this podcast is not for you.

If you're that type of person, then don't expect to get very far with what you're doing.

Just listening to podcasts, reading books, getting on coaching calls, or begging for advice gets you nowhere if you don't do the work that comes with it. Remember that.

Tip #1: Stay Focused on Your Goals

Host: As a business owner, you must have a clear understanding of what you want to achieve. Having clear goals helps you stay focused, and it gives you a roadmap to follow.

So, take some time to define your goals and break them down into smaller, actionable steps. This will make it easier to track your progress and make adjustments when necessary.

Tip #2: Embrace Technology

Technology has revolutionized the business world, and it can help you streamline your operations and improve your customer experience.

For example, you can use cloud-based software to manage your finances, customer relationships, and marketing campaigns. You can also use social media to connect with your audience and promote your products or services.

So, don't be afraid to explore the latest technology tools and solutions that can help you run your business more efficiently.

Tip #3: Build a Strong Team

No business owner can succeed alone. You need a team of dedicated and skilled employees who share your vision and values.

So, invest in your team by offering training and development opportunities. This will help your employees grow and become more effective in their roles, which can lead to higher productivity and better results for your business.

Tip #4: Always Be Learning

As a business owner, you should never stop learning. The world is constantly changing, and you need to keep up with the latest trends and best practices.

So, attend conferences, read books and articles, and listen to podcasts like this one. This will help you stay informed and get fresh ideas that can help you grow your business.

Tip #5: Take Care of Yourself

Finally, it's important to take care of yourself as a business owner. Running a business can be stressful, and it's easy to neglect your own health and well-being.

So, make sure you get enough sleep, exercise regularly, and eat a healthy diet. You should also take time off to recharge your batteries and spend time with your loved ones.

Confidence isn't something we're "born" with, contrary to popular belief. If I had a dollar for every time someone said to me "Oh, well you're just naturally confident", I would make a lot of money just off of that alone.

Truth is....confidence is something we cultivate. We study. We learn. We practice. Until it does become part of our nature, in a sense, but only because we've worked hard to let it become who we are. Listen to this episode to find out how I grew my confidence over the years, and tips on how you can be confident in who you are and what you do.

If you have ever experienced failure...you're not alone.

In fact...if you have failed...chances are, you have also succeeded. Because with success comes failure. What's important, is how you deal with failure. Do you let it keep you down? Do you wallow in it? Do you feel sorry for yourself? Do you think that failure only ever happens to you?

In this episode, we will unpack the concepts of failure and how we can overcome obstacles.

1. Reframe failure as a learning opportunity: When we experience failure, it can be easy to focus on the negative aspects of the experience. However, reframing failure as a learning opportunity can help us see the positive aspects of the experience. Ask yourself, "What can I learn from this experience?"
2. Practice self-compassion: It's important to be kind to ourselves when we experience failure. Instead of beating ourselves up over a mistake, practice self-compassion by acknowledging that failure is a normal part of the learning process.
3. Take action: Instead of dwelling on our failures, take action to learn from them and improve. This could mean seeking out feedback from others or trying a new approach to the problem.

Now, let's talk about persevering through obstacles:

1. Focus on your why: When faced with obstacles, it can be easy to lose sight of our goals. However, by focusing on our why - the reason why we started in the first place - we can stay motivated and push through the challenges.
2. Break down big challenges into smaller ones: When faced with a big challenge, it can be overwhelming to try to tackle it all at once. Instead, break the challenge down into smaller, more manageable tasks. This will help you stay focused and motivated as you work towards your goal.
3. Find a support system: It's important to have a support system when facing obstacles. This could be friends, family, or a mentor who can offer guidance and encouragement when things get tough.
4. Practice resilience: Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity. By practicing resilience, we can develop the skills we need to persevere through obstacles. This could mean developing a positive mindset or building our self-confidence through small wins.

Overcoming failure and persevering through obstacles can be challenging, but with these strategies, we can develop the skills we need to overcome challenges and achieve our goals.

Do you ever struggle with developing a positive mindset? Or...is self-confidence always escaping you?

If you can relate to these two questions on any level...take heart, because you're not alone!

In this episode, I share a few of my key strategies on overcoming the challenges associated with positivity and confidence. I also share my own personal struggles, and how I managed to break free of strongholds that were keeping me down.

Here are the highlights:

1. Practice gratitude: Take time each day to reflect on the things in your life that you're grateful for. This could be anything from a good cup of coffee in the morning to a supportive friend or family member. By focusing on the positive things in your life, you'll train your brain to look for the good in every situation.
2. Surround yourself with positive people: It's important to surround yourself with people who lift you up and support you. Seek out friends and mentors who have a positive outlook on life and who encourage you to pursue your goals.
3. Practice positive self-talk: The way we talk to ourselves can have a big impact on our mindset. Try to replace negative self-talk with positive affirmations. For example, instead of saying "I'm not good enough," say "I am capable of achieving my goals."
4. Embrace failure as a learning opportunity: Failure is inevitable, but it doesn't have to be a negative experience. Instead of beating yourself up over a mistake, view it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Ask yourself, "What can I learn from this experience?"

Now, let's talk about cultivating self-confidence:

1. Set achievable goals: Setting and achieving small goals can help build your confidence over time. Start with something small, like going for a walk every day, and gradually work your way up to bigger goals.
2. Celebrate your successes: Take time to acknowledge and celebrate your successes, no matter how small. This will help build your confidence and reinforce the idea that you are capable of achieving your goals.
3. Practice self-care: Taking care of your physical and mental health is important for building self-confidence. Make time for activities that make you feel good, like exercise, meditation, or spending time with friends.
4. Challenge your negative self-talk: We all have an inner critic that can hold us back. When you notice negative self-talk creeping in, challenge it with positive affirmations. For example, if you find yourself thinking "I'll never be good enough," counter it with "I am capable of achieving my goals."
