daily planning

When you let go of something, you create space for something new to show up.

Danielle Sunberg, a former Big Law attorney turned wellness entrepreneur and expert in the art of conscious living and award-winning author, shares about asking and answering the big question: Who am I?

Having been diagnosed with depression, Danielle realized that where she thought she was on top of everything, with plenty of zeros in her bank account and being on top of the corporate ladder, she wasn’t in tune with who she was herself.

Allowing yourself to be vulnerable causes a step into real leadership. Peeling the layers away allows for an acceptance of who you really are and allowing yourself to take up space. 

Hitting burnout is not always a bad thing - as long as you use it as a chance to change everything!

Notes:
👩🏻‍💼 Danielle was an accomplished corporate litigator for a big law firm in Washington, DC. 1:59
🥀 Despite her success, she felt empty, personally. 3:43
😞 She felt nothing when hearing the news about winning a case, and she just quit. 5:34
❓ Danielle needed to answer the question: Who am I? 8:14
✌ ️ Burnout is not just a bad thing: a chance to change everything.  13:31
😍 Burnout requires you to say: I've tolerated enough suffering here, and I'm actually going to make a change. 18:33
🤗 Mastering the art of being, which is what is left when we stop all of our doing. 22:06
🎯 The biggest changes that happen are clarity, confidence in decision-making, and relationship dynamics. 23:40
🥅 What needs to be addressed is creating safety, with others and within yourself. 27:11
🎯 When we can be vulnerable, we are stepping into real leadership. 29:00
⚠️ Vulnerability doesn't mean that you have to tell everybody all the dirty details. 32:03

When you force yourself to do something, your energy shifts to lower emotions, but there is a solution to beat the Monday Blues. 

Monday mornings usually start with: “I don't want to deal with my job, I don't have enough clients, I'm in a lot of debt, my marketing is terrible” But when you're taking inspired action, and you feel excellent about it, and you're pouring your love and your joy into it.

The goal is to always feel inspired. Jennifer shares one trick how to inspire yourself with the ‘Flow and Go” game. This is a practical and inspirational tool to shift a negative mindset and increase productivity. This game will help you recognize your negative emotions and shift them intentionally towards positive outcomes. The concept of this game is to align thoughts, emotions, actions and results into a positive feedback loop and take action.

The Go and Flow game can be played whenever you need it to get in the flow and start getting the results that you want in your business and your life. Check it out!

Notes:
🐌 Monday is not a very productive day: most heart attacks happen on Mondays. 01:46
📅 Having issues getting started after the weekend: don’t over-schedule your first working day. 02:27
✌🏼 The Flow and Go game: emotional states and physical relations, so it is important to think of different thoughts to move the flow. 04:14
🤔 Dreams and outcome thoughts: pivot on your thoughts to feel better as all good things happened already and then go. 08:27
🎯 Aligning with your dream, practicing your dream, and taking action. 10:16

 If you are investing your money in hiring a virtual assistant, you really want them to be able to pay for themselves.

Gina Cotner, CEO of Athena Executive Services, began her business by becoming a virtual assistant herself. Encouraged by an employer to start up a business finding the right assistants for business owners and CEOs, Gina found herself hiring her own VA and realizing the freedom it brought.

Time zones and internet reliability are two considerations when hiring a VA outside the USA. Gina stresses that while you could ask a VA to do anything for you, it’s worth remembering that they are not experts in the same subject as you. Hiring a VA through an agency, such as Athena Executive Services, allows peace of mind that VAs have already been screened and vetted; an agency is likely to pair you well with the right VA.

Having the right person for your business will make a massive difference to your life, as you find you no longer have to deal with the minutia!

 Growth requires you to change right down to your core.

Dr Michael Matucci, PhD, is a founder of Encompass Life, is on a mission to ignite the truth of who we really are and what we are really doing here.

Until you go into your own core and shift things at the soul level, as in, your emotions, will, and subconscious mind, then it will continue to perpetuate itself no matter how powerful you are. You have a universe inside of you, and you have the emotional power to deal with anything that may come your way and to act in the most profound way possible.

Stepping into your core being and soul level may be uncomfortable and cold, but ultimately you will find treasure!

 Are you struggling with internal conflicts that hinder decision-making? Maybe it’s time to address these unresolved issues. After all, those who rise to their challenges are the ones who rise to new heights.

Dr. Bonnie Wims, therapist, and mental coach who got her doctorate in her 50s, is proof that it is never too late for personal growth. Her perspective is reflected in the belief that “unacknowledged pain doesn’t go away, it multiplies.” She advocates for continued self-work and acknowledges that she, too, continues to work on her setbacks. In her words: “The truth of who you are is not in what you are told or what you are taught, but rather the true nature of you is in what you choose.” Being vulnerable to see your behavior is hard, and we need support in that process. But we can do it!

Make a good choice and listen to this episode that will help you make the right steps towards therapy!

Show notes:
💟 Dr. Bonnie Wims is a therapist and a mental health coach who got her Ph.D. in her 50s: we need a balance between emotional intelligence and business skills. 01:39
🎙️ Breaking therapy stigmas: Dr. Bonnie Wims talks about misconceptions, myths, and misunderstandings of it in her podcast, challenging the idea you only have to heal your trauma once! 07:54
👉 If you want to progress, you should also engage outside the sessions. 14:50
✅ Working with a therapist is a relationship, and you need to find someone who fits you: if you’ve had a bad experience, you may have just been with the wrong person. 19:36
🧠 You can’t understand the way you’re responding to trauma until someone helps you see that: we can heal, the brain is incredibly elastic and can change at any age. 25:41
🤗 Even Dr. Bonnie Wims works on her trauma and self-worth: Jennifer also openly works on herself during her retreats to inspire her clients. 31:45
❣️ Don’t settle for being broken: be curious to understand your behaviors and make progress! 36:51

Entrepreneurship is a journey often fraught with challenges, rejection, and isolation, yet brimming with opportunities for resilience, learning, and growth.

People will always find reasons to say, “You’re not competent enough,” but you can prove them wrong!

Resilience and perseverance take center stage as the conversation unfolds through Chichi Ukomadu’s story, the COO of the Heroshe logistic company, a coach for Christian women, and a podcaster.

Let’s delve into the isolating nature of entrepreneurship, spotlighting the weight of decision-making and the indispensable role of mentors or coaches in offering support and guidance.

The power of coaching emerges a transformative force, providing accountability, clarity, and an invaluable external perspective crucial for overcoming challenges. The conversation doesn’t shop at individual resilience but delves into the broader dynamics of team building, self-care amidst sacrifice, and embracing rejection as a redirection towards positive impact and profitability.

All that magic happens with hard work and dedication, but also support. Jennifer's coaching team helped her business grow.

Listen to this episode to hear about Chichi's path as an educated foreigner in the US and what it takes to build the team that can upscale your business.

Show notes:
 
🇳🇬 Chichi migrated from Nigeria to the United States and established a multimillion-dollar e-commerce logistics company, aiding 66,000+ Africans to access global markets: the love to help people and shop with their money Chichi turned into a business. 02:14
😷 Heroshe faced COVID-19 challenges, dealing with excess work and staff storage due to government support: Chichi overcame this by innovative solutions despite employee reluctance to work. 06:22
📈 Jennifer’s team coached Chichi, leading to a seven-figure funding round this year: having a coach isn’t about incompetence but recognizing the need for diverse support to reach goals. 12:20
💪 Coach is a part of your team: having a coach makes you strong, not weak, because you realize that you need help and bring someone with a different perspective. 16:22
🔤 Chichi’s use of ABC time management helped her build the right team of people: when she caught COVID-19 infection, she decided to fire herself from the warehouse, and this year, she took a sabbatical year to build the coaching business. 21:51
❣️ You can make your team members care about your business if you care for them: Jennifer prioritizes building her team through Spartan Races and retreats. 26:00
📈 When you go together with the team, you go farther than by yourself: you can start as a one-man show, but the more you make room for people, the more growth you will see. 32:07
👩‍💼 Apart from her role as the COO of Heroshe, Chichi is now a Christian coach for women and a podcaster. 34:41
✅ Rejection is a redirection that leads to impact and profit: find help to get there. 39:17

If you find yourself in situations that seem to have no resolution, this is the podcast for you. Susanna is the founder of the new approach called Pragmatic Psychology. It focuses on solutions rather than problems. People stuck in the heaviness of their thoughts can't even hear and accept praise. But that can change. It's a point of view, not a reality.

Challenge your reality by knowing that your truth will always feel light.

Notes:
✨ Susanna is the founder of a revolutionary new approach called Pragmatic Psychology: dramatic is where you focus on the problem and look for a solution, but pragmatic means doing what works. 01:42
❗ Most people want to be right rather than free and they underestimate the power we have when we take on a point of view: how to see there are other possibilities. 08:07
🌎 The world feeds us one drama after the other: if we foster ourselves as leaders and inspire others to be leaders, we will have a different world very soon. 15:54
🤔 If you want to be truly productive, check if the information you're receiving is valuable for you: what's congruent, what's true, and what makes us feel lighter when we feel down. 19:07
⏰ Whenever you listen to someone, and it creates a sense of contraction and heaviness, create an alarm to warn you: your truth will always feel lighter. 22:53

Lowering your productivity benchmark is essential for long-term success. Kate De Palma is the founder & CEO of Scented Designs Candle Co. and shares the time management insights she learned during her entrepreneurial journey. Entrepreneurs often end up trying to do everything themselves, which leads to a lack of focus and productivity in the long run. The key to keeping yourself focused on what is most important and maintaining that feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction is to create more manageable and realistic goals. Offload some tasks onto other people, stop checking your phone every 5 minutes, and take baby steps toward your high-priority goals. Start working on something valuable and stop filling your time with busy work!

Notes:
🕯️ Kate is a Stanford graduate, a former educator, and the founder of Scented Designs, a clean-crafted Candle Company: company growth takes time and education, and sometimes it needs to be a side job until it develops. 01:42
🤝 Doing in-person markets pre-COVID enabled Kate to do collaborations and survive the pandemic. 05:58
👙 Kate loves finding collaborations in the most unexpected places: working with someone is not about competing but serving your customer at a higher level. 09:51
✅ You don't need a full-time employee because just one person a few hours a week can make a difference: there's real power in saying no and focusing your energy. 13:39
📋 If you can't make your priorities, hire a business manager and practice lowering the expectation bar a little bit. 17:08
👉 Don't play catch up - just realize where you are and take baby steps: when you're not so busy, things get in a natural order and pace. 20:27
❣️ Shut down the inbox, close the email tab, and go to Do Not Disturb mode to save your productivity. 23:16

As an introverted entrepreneur, proper scheduling is the key to avoiding burnout. Jodi Lasky is the Introvert Founder, and she coaches a wide range of neurodiverse entrepreneurs and helps them develop sustainable strategies for their success and well-being. If you are an introverted entrepreneur, it can be hard to schedule your time in a way that is not energy-draining when big to-do lists are overwhelming, and new ideas can derail you from a productive workflow. The solution is to work backward from your future dreams and create a comprehensive list of the tasks you need to complete every week to make progress toward these long-term goals. Measuring their size and priority, curate this weekly list of tasks from your giant to-do list, and don't let anything distract or derail you from these weekly achievements. Save yourself from the overwhelm and energy drain of entrepreneurship and make yourself a strategic schedule today!

Notes:
⭐ Jodi is an entrepreneur, a coach, a speaker, and a writer with a lot of experience in government work and tech: she's an introvert and has ADHD - introversion is not shyness. 01:24
🎯 The biggest difficulty for an introvert is trying not to be one: extroverts get energy from networking, but introverts should choose networking events carefully because they drain energy. 04:44
✅ Pre-COVID, many people were forcing themselves to try to be extroverts, and they paid for it on the back end: introversion and extroversion aren't necessarily a fixed binary. 07:03
📋 Even if ideas are flowing, that doesn't mean they're good: Jodi has a process based on agile software development that helps you with your to-do lists. 08:45
💎 Jodi shared two big life lessons: people say many things, but it's not their actual opinion - use your time intelligently, even when networking. 16:17

 The hard work of entrepreneurship can take its toll on us if we don't adopt a strategic mindset. Jeffrey Hayzlett is the chairman & founder of the C-Suite Network, where he supports C-level executives and entrepreneurs in achieving professional success. Being an entrepreneur is not a walk in the park, and it requires a delicate life balance of spirituality, friends, family and your business. The best way to overcome the hurdles and manage your way through the inevitable failures is to have a strategy in place, and that means automating, delegating and eliminating your daily tasks so you can prioritize the most important ones. You are responsible for your own success, so set boundaries for yourself and focus on the core goal of your business; the problem you are solving for others. Stop surviving, find your inspiration, and start to thrive and drive through the obstacles standing between you and your goals!

Notes:
👔 Jeffrey is a prime-time television host, a global business celebrity speaker, a best-selling author, and chairman and CEO of the C-Suite Network: he's a millennial trapped in a baby boomer body who loves to solve core issues, take care of his family, earn money and have fun. 02:04
✅ A leader's job is not to be the smartest person in the room but to be the most strategic: decision-making is a lot simpler when you have a clear direction. 05:28
👨‍🍳 Jeffrey finds inspiration in the people around him. 07:11
🪞 The only person who will change it for you is the person who is looking in the mirror at you every day: get off your keister, get off your couch, quit eating bonbons and feeling sorry for yourself, and get in the game! 11:25
😷 Jeffrey shares his horrible experience where failure was unavoidable: you can make a little lemonade out of some lemons, but it's still tough. 15:18
✅ It doesn't do you any good just to survive because we all need to thrive. 17:59
🚴 Sturgis and Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota are awesome places for bike lovers: stay away from buffalo! 21:58
🎯 Focus on the problem because if you can solve the problem for somebody, they'll pay you. 25:19

The key to managing your productivity is self-awareness. Erik Fisher is the producer and podcast host for Beyond The To-Do List, where he discusses practical productivity strategies with productivity experts. The best way to streamline a productive schedule is to be realistic about what we know we can do, how much we know we can do, and which days we are most productive. Spend a week and gather data on where you spend your time and do an honest analysis of how you could rearrange your to-do list to take advantage of this. The vast majority of what we put on our to-do lists are not tasks that move the needle, so doing less, but more of what is important, is the formula for success. You have agency over your work life, so make an honest assessment of your current strategy and take control!

Notes: 
📋 Eric has been the producer and host of the Beyond the To-Do List podcast, where he talks with productivity experts: choose less to do because when you get less done, you still have all that extra time. 01:57
⏳ Bring more self-awareness into your day by using Toggle or just time-tracking your schedule for a week: repeat this every six months. 03:22
🎙️ Erik struggled with ADHD for a very long time in his adult life without knowing, which led him to start a productivity podcast. 08:19
❗ You can be more productive by reducing the expectations you put on yourself: broken commitments affect our psyche, emotions, heart, and confidence. 10:25
✅ Check which times are best for certain task types: you have a very high percentage of agency about your workflow. 14:00
👉 Many people are forcing themselves into a chronotype that's not their own: schedule your day the best way it works for you. 17:07
📈 Just hit a reset, do one of these time-tracking sessions for a good week or two, and track all those variables: it's time for a change! 20:50

Connecting your intentions with the food you eat will result in a healthier and happier life. Lainie Wulkan is the Founder of Center For Intuitive Food Therapy and shares her passion for unlocking greater flow and health for the mind, body, and spirit through the foods we eat. All the foods we eat on a daily basis can have profound effects on our mental and emotional states and can help us fuel the mindsets we need to tackle life's daily challenges. To use the food we eat as a tool for personal development, we must learn their properties and listen to what our body is telling us that it needs. Everybody always says that a positive mindset is the key to success, so why aren't we putting something positive in our bodies as well? If you want to manifest and attract more of what you need in your life, start looking at your food differently!

Show notes:
👩‍🦱 Lainie is the founder of the CIFT Center for Intuitive Food Therapy, the co-author of The Food Healing Oracle Deck, and a lifelong foodie: she worked in top vegetarian kitchens in Hollywood for numerous celebrities. 01:43
💦 If we can fuel the body properly, it will give us the fuel we need to think, make great decisions, manifest, and attract what we need: putting words to food - food is mostly water and water is affected by the frequency of words. 03:37
✨ Lainie works with businesses who hire her to look at problems from an esoteric point of view: being open-minded leaves space for the unseen to govern synchronicities and miracles. 10:54
🃏 We are what we eat: Lainie shares one experience with her food cards and the effect that specific foods have on us. 13:01
🍉 Eat your way into releasing, manifesting, and attracting more of what you want: watermelon helps toxin release, and with lime and feta, it makes a great salad. 16:54
🇨🇷 Costa Rica is a Blue Zone country: they live longer because of their cultural lifestyles, mindsets, and foods. 19:17
☕ Lainie is making a documentary called Hope From The Himalayas about Nepali tea farmers  and putting an end to human trafficking in the region. 20:40
🟡 Intention and intuition are so important for every part of your life: to know more about the process and get a free activation, get the book The Energy Healer’s Oracle. 26:31

Doing the work to heal your early traumas can have a profoundly positive impact on your daily life and your business. Maira Holzmann is a body-oriented somatic therapist who specializes in helping people heal from their early traumas. Being in a state of constant urgency, working 60 hours a week, and feeling like you are never enough are all common traits for many of us as business owners, but these are also signs of unresolved trauma. Therapy and self-care can help us set up regulatory guardrails and learn to experience life in a new state of calm, resilience, and joy. When you begin to heal and make sustainable changes in your lifestyle and mindset, you will feel lasting changes in your physiology that will improve your health, your business, and your quality of life. Start your self-care journey today and find, savor, and prioritize the joy in your life!

 Notes
🌹 Maira is a somatic therapist who helps people heal from the impacts of childhood trauma: somatic therapy gave her clients better, long-lasting results than cognitive-based or top-down therapy. 01:45
💔 Emotional neglect in childhood leads to poor self-worth and disconnection from emotions. 04:44
🔵 When you haven't healed your childhood trauma, you're constantly fighting against burnout, procrastination, and lack of joy: to be regulated is to feel calm and alert. 09:20
😊 Practicing joy spotting involves finding one moment that felt good or neutral in the day, replaying it in the mind, and learning to love the way it makes you feel. 14:02
👀 Trauma can make it hard to find joy, even in safe spaces like work: you have no access to joy if you're constantly trying to keep yourself safe in your environment. 19:39
✅ Reframing can help you gain resilience and regulation: the brain has to find a way of making sense of why our parents are treating us a certain way. 23:27
🤗 Healing work must happen with another person. 31:11
🔷 Jennifer recognizes that her reactions to her husband are often a reflection of unresolved issues within herself: don't be stuck in a victim mindset because you have a diagnosis - do the work to heal yourself. 34:28
❤️‍🩹 If you don't incorporate the body in healing, you're covering the wound with a band-aid without getting surgery: it takes commitment and devotion to do the work. 37:45
🍎 The high cost of maintaining survival physiology includes increased tension patterns in the body, and there's a high cost of doing business: doing one's work can also help improve immune and digestion systems. 41:21

Developing a sense of love and family within your business leads to greater success. Jake Sasseville is the CEO and Founder of Imiloa Institute in Costa Rica, where he helps to cultivate experiences that incite a profound sense of growth. When developing growth and comradery in your business, start with yourself and be committed to your own growth and authenticity first, and this will directly reflect on your business. The sense of happiness and fulfillment within a company should be judged by the quality of life of its gardener and housekeeper equivalents, so when you ensure that you are compensating all your employees ethically and responsibly, everybody wins. To further deepen the sense of familiarization amongst your team, treat yourself and your team to transformational experiences like retreats that foster a sense of unity and relaxation. When you invest in yourself and your team in this way, the return on investment is clear, and you will see the results in your business.

Notes:
🇨🇷 Jake is a serial media music and hospitality entrepreneur, author, podcaster, and the CEO and founder of Imiloa Institute in Costa Rica: the White House named him one of the most innovative entrepreneurs under 30. 01:37
❤️ Jake discovered that the more “unreasonably hospitable” they got, the more successful they became: people are longing for a sense of belonging. 05:11
👨‍🌾 If the company is successful, it's not because of the CEO, but it is a reflection of what they are willing to look at as a human being: celebrate your housekeepers and gardeners, and it will cultivate an incredible sense of love, ownership, and fellowship across the organization. 08:09
🧡 You can make virtual fun by introducing familiarization trips and allowing your team to deepen: Jennifer shows respect to all the employees by dividing bonuses in the company equally. 15:41
🏡 Jake created a sense of home in his retreats, leaving out business, spiritual, and thematic elements at the start: each retreat is like a perfect storm with a sense of healthy support and readiness to serve. 20:39
📊 Track the data after a retreat or other investment in yourself, and you'll see it's not just some woo-woo language. 28:12

 Valuing excellence in your business is fundamental for your success as an entrepreneur. Nida Leardprasopsuk is a business strategist who helps elevate business owners and the standards in their industry. Many of us have felt the burn of purchasing a service that didn't act with integrity, so it's easy to understand why it's so important in a business. Your integrity in business is all about the standards by which you run your business and offer your services, and raising your standards above and beyond your competition is an excellent strategy for differentiating yourself in your industry. Don't be afraid to remove the scarcity mindset from your practice because when you stick to your values and your passions, and offer a premium service, you will attract premium customers to your business. When you raise your standards, the customer wins, the industry wins and your business wins!

You can leverage the misery of your burnout to pull yourself back into a place of joy and success. Reena Vokoun is the CEO of Passion Fit, where she empowers women to flourish both personally and professionally through wellness. Sometimes it can be hard to admit to yourself when you are not performing at your best, but self-awareness is the first step to tackling burnout. When you get to the point where you can't take the constant stress anymore, leverage that discomfort to make some changes and cut out some time to recover. Take some time to find something in your life you are passionate about and schedule it into your calendar so you can get that grounding and refreshing spark back into your life. When you take time for self-care and schedule that joy back into your life, you can get back to being your best self and continue propelling yourself forward to success.

Learning to process and understand your emotions can reveal important lessons for moving forward with a successful business. Shulamit Ber Levtov is an entrepreneur's therapist and works with women business owners on their mental and emotional health journey. Being an entrepreneur is an emotional rollercoaster, and many business owners experience the struggle of dealing with their emotions in the business world. When you shut off your stress and frustration to cope, or to appear more confident and professional, it's easy to become overwhelmed and to feel isolated, and it can prevent us from having the resources needed to handle life and business properly. We must learn to set boundaries for ourselves and seek the support of others to help us do the heavy lifting and experience the growth we need to succeed. Accept the gift of the lesson that your emotions are trying to teach you, so you can move forward with greater insight and clarity!

Notes:
👔 Shulamit is the entrepreneurs' therapist and the cofounder of The Business Therapy Center, who works with women business owners to care for their mental and emotional well-being: entrepreneurs need therapists who understand entrepreneurship. 03:21
🚬 Isolation affects your physical health as much as smoking 15 cigarettes a day: the nature of isolation for entrepreneurs is unique. 05:54
💪 Entrepreneurs are strong, capable, competent people who are even stronger with support. 08:51
💭 Emotions can appear through self-talk and thoughts: when you spend a little time with the parts of you that are frustrated, you can learn important information about the steps you need to take to move your businesses forward. 11:47
😨 The habit of caring for yourself is the real gold that makes you more resourced and helps you handle the rest of your life better: fear tells you to pay attention and keeps you humble. 16:59
✅ "Big T trauma explodes, and small t trauma erodes" - small erosive events that occur over and over again can also result in a traumatized nervous system: the same event can impact people differently depending on the support and recovery they have. 24:45
📱 Boundary challenges can come from trauma and cause survival instincts that stay too long: get a separate phone, have one for business and one for home so you can step away and have more gumption, energy, and enthusiasm the next day. 30:56
🫶 We have intimacy with our business, just like with our beloveds: intimacy is built through communication and trust with ourselves, our beloveds, and our business. 37:59
