That Big CEO Energy

“Even if you're the only one in your business, say it with me: I need an SOP."- Kallai Plummer

Have you ever felt like you're juggling a million tasks and deadlines in your business, only to realize you've dropped the ball on the project that mattered most? That's where I found myself before I learned the art of project management. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How solopreneurs and small teams can create clear objectives and goals, implement Standard Operating Procedures, and avoid the common traps of project planning. 
• It's not about chasing perfection; it's about crafting a reliable blueprint that keeps your business on course.

As we explore the nooks and crannies of project planning and timeline management, I'll walk you through my own experiences of assigning responsibilities, the significance of visual planning, and the transformative power of CEO days for self-assessment. You'll learn why tools like Asana are game-changers for staying organized and hitting those deadlines.

To cap it off, we'll have an honest chat about effective project management as the backbone of success. Regular check-ins, proactive approaches to challenges, and the flexibility to adjust timelines are all part of the dance. I'll also share why asking for help isn't just smart—it's strategic. So grab your notebook, and let’s fuel each other with our collective stories of triumph, as we harness that big CEO energy together.

"Being multi-passionate is a superpower, not a drawback. It's about embracing all the facets of your personality and using them to fuel your entrepreneurial spirit." - Emily DeCloux 

In our conversation, we explore this theme in depth, focusing on her journey as an entrepreneur in her twenties, the intricate link between comedy and business, and the empowering process of turning passion into a successful career. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

 - How Emily successfully manages her multiple creative and entrepreneurial ventures while maintaining an infectious zest for life.

 - The ups and downs of finding your true path in your twenties, focusing on the importance of trusting your instincts and cultivating strong, supportive partnerships. 

- Insights into dealing with the lingering impacts of past traumas and how they can shape your professional life, with wisdom drawn from the acclaimed book "The Body Keeps the Score." 

About Guest: Emily has created her own career path by completely ignoring her gut instincts, realizing she needed to listen to them, and then follow her passions. While it seems a little backwards, that’s how she got here.

She is a multi-passionate entrepreneur who makes films, sketch comedy videos, music, podcasts, live shows, and occasionally she can be inspired to use my Baking and Pastry Arts Certificate to make muffins. Occasionally. She is also the CEO of The Ultimate creative, a podcast production agency. (and also my pod producer)

Promise of learning how to conquer your mental barriers and unlock your big CEO energy with us on today's episode. We lift the veil on common psychological hurdles that often deter entrepreneurial success and explore strategies to reshape these obstacles into stepping stones on your path to victory. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The undercurrents of fear and resistance to change, decoding how they can either trap or catapult you depending on your mindset. 
• The transformative process of 'reparenting' yourself for smarter business decision-making and learning to harness your fear as a catalyst rather than a constraint.
• The power of action and perpetual commitment to your dreams - two essential ingredients for a recipe of success. 

Listen in as we dissect the concept of positive thinking and its role in bridging the gap between you and your aspirations. But, beware the pitfalls of perfectionism, a stealthy creativity assassin, and learn to navigate around it. Drawing inspiration from successful women in business, we shine a light on unconscious habits that might be hampering your entrepreneurial growth. So, tune in and empower yourself with the mindset and tools to unlock your big CEO energy!

"I realized that I was a people pleaser and I realized that I was a perfectionist and I realized that my mindset was very fixed. So I had a very fixed mindset and I saw the world from the lens of fear, lack of scarcity." - Michelle Gordon

I've always believed that with the right mindset and guidance, anyone can turn their life around. This belief was reinforced when I sat down with Michelle Gordon, a nurse who transformed her life from battling burnout, anxiety, and alcoholism to living a joy-filled existence. Michelle's journey is nothing short of inspiring. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Michelle’s struggles, her decision to heal herself, and the power of self-discovery that changed her life. 
• Her shift from being a people pleaser and perfectionist to adopting a mindset of abundance.
• Her process of finding an aligned, authentic life.

Michelle's transformation didn't stop with her personal life. With newfound clarity and self-awareness, she made the bold move from nursing to coaching. Michelle shares how journaling, exercise, and beach walks played a vital role in helping her connect with herself physically and emotionally. Her program guides nurses through a 12-week process to find an authentic, aligned life. The change she's been able to bring about in her clients' lives is remarkable. 

About guest: Michelle Gordon is a Registered nurse, master neuro linguistic programming practitioner and mum of 3 children. After hitting rock bottom burnout, anxiety and alcoholism and not getting the support she needed, Michelle took herself on a self-led healing journey and found her path to alignment and created a life filled with health, happiness, joy and abundance. Michelle is passionate about sharing her journey with others and giving them the tools and strategies so they too can take back control and create a life that is in alignment.

This conversation is packed with wisdom and insights on navigating life's turbulent waters towards a vibrant existence. Michelle's story is a testament that it's never too late to change, and that each one of us has the power to create the life we truly want.

“I don't want anything that I'm doing to be fleeting, and so if I'm going all in, I want to make sure that whatever I'm doing, I'm going all in.” - Kallai Plummer

On the occasion of my 38th birthday, I find myself diving into a pool of reflection. Birthdays, such unique days they are, triggering a spectrum of emotions and feelings. The question is, why? Have you ever wondered why you feel the way you do about your birthday? Do past experiences or childhood traumas influence these feelings in any way? Together, let's explore these queries as I embark on a new personal November challenge aimed at transforming ideas into actions.

As an entrepreneur, I understand the challenges we face. It's easy to feel overwhelmed, and it's even easier to forget that you don't have to do it all alone.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How essential it is to recognize our achievements and give ourselves credit. 
• Life is worth celebrating, and we're doing just that in this episode.
• The power of support systems.
