Callie brought an incredible prompt from an incredible Substack post her dad sent her. Eric Ingram wrote a piece called "Regret-Based Decision Making: Designing a Life You Can Live With."

A little excerpt, “Over the last few years, especially as I’ve gotten into my mid-thirties, I’ve started changing the variables I use to make decisions. Or more accurately, I’ve changed the weights of those variables….I call the framework regret-based decision making. It’s simple in concept. When faced with a meaningful choice, I try to project myself forward and ask: which option is least likely to haunt me?”

Like most topics, you can go many different ways in how this feels to you. Some may have a huge ah-ha moment, some may get their feathers ruffled because they don’t feel they can operate from this theory.

What about you? How does this land?

Key Takeaways:

• Are we living into the societal way of buying the house, working until retirement, and then retiring?
• Do we feel there are more options than the ones we have right in front of us?
• As a business owner, is there something you want to do, but are scared to?

This submission was a good one…well, they all are. But this one brought two totally different viewpoints from us.

"What price is it worth to you to start and grow your business? Expenses, marketing, branding, and tools you’ll need. What price is it worth for the vision for the thing you want to do and get out into the world? So many of us love our idea and our offer, and yet we’re struggling on a shoestring budget, which isn’t working out. We’re DIYing more than we have time to do. I feel this as someone in the marketing world and as a business owner myself. What are your thoughts on this?"

First up, Amanda took the conversation in the direction of which aspects of business actually matter and why you’re investing in all the things… because you truly need it or because you think that’s what's next.

Callie comes in with you, being worth it to keep going. The value of the process and the lessons you learn, and where they take you.

Key Takeaways:

• Your growth doesn’t have to look like the playbook of others
• What is the goal behind hiring out different aspects of your biz
• If it’s on your heart to grow it…grow it.

We’d love to know where your thoughts went after you heard the question!

Todays episode is brought to you by some who both had feedback on last week's episode and a question on the growth of their gym! Working full-time while growing a side business and determining the best route to grow…

First wanted to reply about the last podcast y’all did. About money and god, loved it. Reminds me of one of the stories in the Bible when god gave 3 guys some kind of token, and only one was awarded because he went out and multiplied it! The other two hid it, or I think wasted it.

Along with that, I want to refer y’all to follow , Autumn Miles, you can find her on IG and FB, her podcast is great too. She teaches the Bible but it’s awesome the way she does. I don’t believe god wants us poor, or struggling. I’m sure he wants us to multiply our “golds” to live well and to share.

“I’m 3-5 yrs, but do I have a biz without clients anymore? Was an in-person and online personal trainer/ coach, also do muscle massage (short answer), and this past year have taken over a small gym that I’m working to grow.

Biz question: I took over the gym, half the equipment belongs to the owner of the building, I pay rent to him, I bring in new equipment, and am working on growing the gym. I’m assuming it’s Mine! I want to work on changing the name and eventually getting a bigger facility. Not sure which direction to try to do all this, start to employ coaches and staff, all while still working a regular full-time job. Not enough revenue coming in yet to cover us all! Thanks, ladies!!”

The first part of this “answer” was Callie sharing about the importance of giving people a story to both follow and get behind. Amanda then comes in with literally 1 million questions.

Key Takeaways:

• Give people a story to follow, as we all love a story
• How you want to show up as an owner will determine your growth strategy
• Being brave enough to put yourself out there is pretty dang amazing

This one was fun because there really is no answer. There are so many ways to go about growth, and we really appreciate the fact that she submitted this question to get some feedback!
