Just Start: From Ideas to Action

I'm revisiting my not so happy COVID diagnosis a short while back. (whew, that was hard) I'm using that 'sampled experience' to share how you can embrace change in your life to help you think and get ahead through 4 fairly simple steps.

Ready? Let's get started!

YES - you can be creative. And, YES - you can use your creative thinking to get ahead. This sampled episode with Michelle Royal will help you do just that!

How about we get you started!

Even at your workplace, you can embrace your inner entrepreneur. This is essential as you start exploring the opportuity to start and experience things in other spaes of your life. So, how about you not wait to start operating like an entrepreneur.

By embracing just a few things, you can brush up and refine your skills today!

Thinking differently is not a privilege reserved for just a few people. You can do it too! And, when you start to give yourself permission to do it, you start doing it in spaces that you never even imagined that you would.

Aren't you worthy of thinking differently?

Did you know that we complete about 35,000 tasks daily? (crazy, right?) Because we do so much on autopilot every single day, it keeps us from challenging even the things that are not effective and do not work in our lives.

Well, what if you could do something about that, RIGHT NOW? It's time for you to give yourself permission to embrace intrapreneurship today. Here's how...

Giving yourself permission to start can look like a lot of different things. That has surely been the case for today's guest, the incomparable, Sommer Woods, Chief Inclusion Officer of Woods & Watts Effect.

In this inspiring, energy-filled and just all around fun conversation, we dive deep into how she has been at the forefront of some of metro Detroit's most iconic projects, how she intentionally builds and maintains community and even some of the mistakes that she's made along the way.

You're in the right place to experience this conversation. Now, just press play and get inspired to take action. As a treat, this special edition episode is also available via video. Want to watch this? Head over to jacquelinembaker.com/@magicaljax to see and hear this starting journey!

And, here we go! It's quite exciting to kick off the 175th episode of the podcast, Just Start: From Ideas To Action. We're going to learn about how to use the power of Sampling Yourself to leverage our own experiences and start the things that we want to do, by using what we already have.

Ready? Let's get started!

What skills do you have now that you can use to get to where you want to be next? Instead of trashing your past skills, job or expertise, how might you leverage them? I'll go first. In this episode, I'll share the journey transitioning from leading an etiquette firm to operating a leadership consultancy.

Have you ever had a feeling that perhaps it's too late for you?

Have you started to second guess your dreams and goals and desires simply because of time?

Well, time actually might be on your side, if you look around and harness the resources, your skills and the network around you.

Jennie shares so many magical jewels in this episode. As a successful coach and book author, she let's us go behind the scenes to provide insight on her processes, her vulnerabilities and her successes in coaching more than 100 authors to date.

You ready?

Let's get started!

I certainly hope that you're proud of your accomplishments and where you've gotten to thus far in your career. Even in knowing that, we all have the right and can give ourselves permission to switch it up when we're ready to.

Perhaps you are in a career that has served you well and has done exactly what you wanted it to do in your life and now you're ready to say, "I want to switch it up."

Well, this episode is for you. Listen to this quick and impactful episode focused on helping you consider some key things when you are looking to completely switch up your career! Enjoy.

Sooner or later, we can all find ourselves stuck. Even in areas where we may be deemed the expert or the "smartest person in the room, we can still find ourselves stuck.

What no one tells us early on is that we might even find ourselves stuck, professionally. Perhaps you know that there's something else that you want to do or you're just having the overwhelming blah feeling of not knowing what to do or where to go next, professionally.

Let this episode guide and inspire you! #juststart 

You have accomplished so much this year and last year and the year before. I know that the world makes you want to quickly forget what you've done, purchased and achieved so that you can quickly move on to buy more and do more.

But, have YOU given yourself permission to sample what you've already done. Let's explore your opportunity to end the year with Sampling Yourself! 

It's no secret that I love a good hosting opportunity. With one of the most celebrated holidays of the year happening in just a couple of days, you may find yourself in the midst of preparing to host.

Well, here are some ways to do it well or even give yourself permission to START hosting!

Listen. Don't sit around waiting on someone else to celebrate your wins.

How about you get the celebration going and invite other people to get onboard?

Here's how to do that!

When you think about celebrating others, your mind may by default head into standard items and gifts that have worked in the past.

But, is that the best way? Is there a more effective and thoughtful way to celebrate others.

Let's explore just that!

Oh, to be a (T)EO... what an absolute treat to have this wonderful dialogue with Ellarose Preston. We have had the wonderful pleasure of being friends for more than 25 years!

So, to be able to have this dialogue about what she has been building at J. Elise Tea was an absolute pleasure. We explore how a health condition inspired her to start her artisinal tea business and how she continues to stay focused in what can sometimes feel like a crowded space.

So, strap in and let's get started talking to Ellarose Preston of J. Elise Tea. 

Today, I'm sharing what I'm grateful for! I'm hoping that todays episode inspires you to reflect on what you're grateful for, sit in your memories and moments and use this momentum to continue to start and keep going!

It's not enough to just tell you to be grateful! I have to actually give you some real tools and that's what today is all about.

Use these tools and maybe some other ones that you have in your back pocket to remind yourself to use gratefulness to help you start and keep going!

And, here we go! It's quite exciting to kick off the175th episode of the podcast, Just Start: From Ideas To Action.

We're going to learn about how to use the power of Sampling Yourself to leverage our own experiences and start the things that we want to do, by using what we already have. Ready?

Let's get started!

There are an endless number of tools that are available to you as you begin to start something new. And, while Tamika has had a wealth of experience of starting several things in both the corporate and professional realm, gratefulness is also a powerful tool that she has at her disposal.

You truly do not want to miss out on this dynamic conversation about the wins, the challenges and the future outlook for what she is building at Reyz, an innovative bra company that supports women’s breast health and recovery throughout their entire lives.
