Why I am considering a personal assistant - EMP167
July 02, 2020 10:00 - 14 minutes - 12.8 MBIn this episode, I share why I'm considering a personal assistant. In my mind, I can envision being at a place where I simply send a voice message with things I'd like to get done, and then having them get done that same day. I would like to have someone handle all the little day-to-day things that add up but aren't really key to my business (such as scheduling haircuts, ordering meal prepped food for me, etc.). This would open me up even more to focus only on the things I love to do. ...

Toxic Positivity - EMP163
June 18, 2020 11:00 - 11 minutes - 10.5 MBThis episode dives into toxic positivity (what it is, things to look out for, etc.).

Why I signed up for my first therapy session - EMP160
June 08, 2020 11:00 - 17 minutes - 16 MBIn this episode I share why I signed up for my first therapy session. I never really considered myself as someone who "needs therapy" (and I still don't to be honest). I am looking more for a coaching lean to help me break through barriers or limiting beliefs.

Belief is the first step - EMP156

Reminder to myself...practice gratitude DAILY - EMP155
May 21, 2020 11:00 - 10 minutes - 9.48 MBToday's episode is about how we need to practice gratitude daily. I've spoken about gratitude before, but sometimes we need a reminder. It's easy to focus on just the negative things, or not realize how amazing some things really are in our lives. I'm guilty of this personally.

Creating processes and checklists - EMP153
May 14, 2020 11:00 - 13 minutes - 12.3 MBIn this episode, I dive into the importance of processes and checklists. So many times, we get caught up in doing things off of memory. It can seem like a waste of time to put things into a checklist, especially if they are seemingly simple. However, as your business grows and life gets busier, it gets harder to remember everything. Documenting your processes ensures you have systems and place and allows you to hire or outsource work. Download my free guide on Productivity Hacks I...

Just in time versus just in case learning - EMP151
May 07, 2020 11:00 - 9 minutes - 9.1 MBIn this episode, I dive into the difference between "just in time" learning and "just in case learning." "Just in time" stems from lean manufacturing used by Toyota. They use the "just in time" inventory approach to order parts right as they need them. This helps minimize storage costs, inventory, etc. Similarly, utilizing just in time for learning allows you to learn information right as you need it, where as just in case learning may take up time and brain power for information you ...

The shortcut to success - EMP144
April 13, 2020 11:00 - 15 minutes - 12.1 MBThe shortcut to success *drumroll please* is the WORK. I know, probably not what you wanted to hear. But it's the truth. An internet entrepreneur I follow, Miles Beckler, always says that you need to expect that it's going to take 3-5 years of consistent effort before you see any noticeable results. You may see progress sooner, but if you have the expectation that it will just take time, you'll be able to push through and continue to show up without quitting too early. Download my...
