I’m reading the book, Grit by Angela Duckworth. A great book for business owners. In the chapter entitled Practice, she writes about a cognitive psychologist Anders Ericsson. And, as Angela is intrigued by the attitude of grit and what it’s based on, she dove into Ericsson’s research of how experts acquire world-class skills and even was able to meet him. Ericsson concluded that experts do not log more hours of practice….experts practice DIFFERENTLY.

We are diving into leaning into our work with deliberate practice.

Abby First, branding guide, podcaster, and homeschool mom of two joined me for real talk about her branding business and her feelings before she launched her podcast in my Flight podcast program!

Abby struggled with feelings of scarcity - and the scarcity mindset of running out of resources and running out of energy.

But, what she has now??? A capsule podcast ready for her to use! She has A WAY for others to be intimately connected to her INSTEAD of being on social media all the live-long day. She also has confidence and she is PROUD of herself for completing her podcast capsule well. (her words to me)

I was reading a book about how blessed we are in the US to have the freedom to have food in our hands to use in our homes…the land of opportunity.

And it got me thinking about the opportunities we have as business owners and podcasters.

With the holiday season coming up, however, we may have to give some thought to our peace and priorities.

So if balancing these things is where you're at right now, lean in and listen to today’s episode!

• stay warm even after the fire is extinguished,

• and you can be like embers blowing far away, starting spot fires (affecting others) who can be miles away!

Fired Up already??? Let’s do this!

Let’s say you guest on someone’s podcast.

You want to show them how much you care that they took the time to reach out to you, researched you, came up with questions, AND, most of all, introduced THEIR audience TO YOU…so you know what they really want????

They want you to share the episode.

Listen in and take note of a way you can do that TO.DAY!

When you have a goal and you tell someone about it and you check it off your list, you have more of a chance that you will accomplish that goal.  In fact, Google tells us we are 65 percent more likely to meet a goal after verbalizing this goal to someone else! Today’s episode is all about how beliefs can either hold us back from reaching our full potential - or help us get there. Tune in!

What if there was a way you could speak confidently, essentially inform, genuinely nurture, and enlarge your influence as a business owner, you would want to know more about that, right?

Then, today’s episode is JUST FOR YOU!!

Have you ever wondered if being distractible in telling a story is normal? Or have you ever scrolled Instagram for a tad too long and wondered, “How did I get here?”

One of the biggest myths you may hear about podcasting is that once you start your podcast, people will be knocking down your door wanting you to promote their product on your show. And if that’s just a myth then how can people make money with their podcasts?
