I'm so excited for today’s podcast where I’m introducing a topic that I’ve brought to several of my clients, whether they are newbie entrepreneurs or have scaled to six figures and beyond. I've been introducing this concept to them and it's really been resonating, so I knew I had to bring it to my community – it’s what I call the beginner's mindset for experts. I really feel like at the start of our business, a lot of our success comes from unashamedly having a beginner's mindset, right? Often when we are trying something new, we have nothing to lose, right? When we are starting our business or getting visible, it is hard, but it's not that hard because the stakes are lower since there's some grace given to beginners. For example, I remember when I was first starting salsa dancing, I was grateful of the fact that I was a newbie because I knew I couldn’t be judged for my bad dancing skills since I was inexperienced. Also, this beginner's mindset is what helps us be brave and take action and get good results and/or data. But I think we lose a little bit of our edge or our willingness to be a beginner as we advance in entrepreneurship. Before listening to this episode, I want you to think about a few things… What would it look like for you as an intermediate, as an advanced entrepreneur, to have a beginner's mindset and how would it change the game in the results you get? Okay, let’s dive in!

Hi friends, many of you know I recently went on a 10-day international vacation as a single mama with two littles and I've been asked so many times how I did it – how do I balance work and life? I have this concept I call working light. In my Sell with Heart mastermind, my clients fill out a document that helps them scale their business that's called Take a Break, and I realized I've never really talked about this on the show, so I'm so excited to introduce this topic. At the beginning, after leaving my full time job and then through divorce, I created this business model out of survival, but I hope that you take it on just because it's useful. I'm going to talk about two different types of time you can take off in your business and, again, introduce this concept of working light and advocate on why it's so important to master this concept of working light and how I feel like it's really transformed not just how I'm able to take vacations and breaks, but also how I'm able to feel consistently positive about my work in general. I’m sharing a journal prompt toward the end of the episode, and I’d love to hear what you write and coach you through any blocks that come up. I can’t wait to hear from you!

Today I want to talk about a highly underrated six figure entrepreneurial business skill, and that is the healthy escape. I am so excited about this episode because this is a conversation I've been having with multiple of my six figure and multi six figure clients, and I just feel like we don't talk about this enough. If you are growing your business to six figures and/or beyond, we have to have this conversation. So I'm going to share a little bit about my own journey and I hope you walk away with some aha moments, but it really is this idea that YES, we want to love our business; YES, we want to work hard when we are working; YES, we want figure out how to be more productive in those hours; but I find for a lot of my clients, this just happens most naturally that they are more passionate in their business, they are more productive in their business, they end up selling more, and manifesting more money when they have healthy escapes. So let's talk about it.

Friends, I could not be more excited about today's episode. I have my beautiful friend Stephanie Chastain with me today. Stephanie is the owner of Infinite Ireland Travel Co. where she meticulously crafts meaningful Ireland itineraries around immersion, authenticity, and comfort. She is someone that I've been connected with in the online space for years now, and I've always admired her work and her travel expertise but I really wasn't in a season of being able to do a lot of traveling myself, so I never got to see her business from the inside. However, now that things have changed so much for me personally, I finally got the chance to work with Stephanie as I traveled to Ireland with my two children. She massively supported me in creating a kickass itinerary and my trip wouldn’t have been as amazing as it was without her. So we had a fun idea around her interviewing me so you can hear about my experience traveling internationally because I’ve received a lot of questions about that. But then I am going to interview her about her business in case you've been thinking about hiring a travel planner for Ireland or something related. I hope this is really fun for you to tune into!

I think there’s two types of people in entrepreneurship… those who are very good at planning out their days and then (people like me) those who think they can get 19 tasks done but in reality can probably knock out 4 of them. In this episode, I’m sharing a few tips for us really ambitious women who are ready to scale their business but may be feeling stuck in the messy middle and need a helping hand out. I’m going to talk a bit about my day to day and how I prioritize the tasks that need done, taking risks as you scale, celebrating your wins and a few things in between. After listening, hopefully you’ll feel confident in knowing what direction to put your ambition.

If you want more direct support, the waitlist for my 6-month mentorship, Sell with Heart, is waiting for you! The next round doesn’t start until July, but by adding your name to the list you’ll get priority access and pricing! Learn more here.

Every month I have a 10 minute meeting with my bookkeeper to go over the basic financial metrics in my business, and this past month I realized that I have had $10K months for the past 42 months. Of course there’s been some months where I hit $30K+, but I think there’s so much to celebrate in the fact that it hasn’t dropped below $10K for so long. First things first – take a moment today to find what you can celebrate and to be brave and take a hard look at your money. Then, throughout this episode, I’m going to be sharing the 10 things that I’ve become really grateful for these past couple years as my business has begun to really thrive. Each of the 10 things has a bit of an action step that you can take, too as you design not only the business you love but the life you love.

So thankful for you as a podcast listener. What do you want to hear more of on the show? Any guests you’d like to see? I really want to know. Head on over to Instagram and shoot me a DM, you can find me @heartcentered.entrepreneur.
