On this week’s episode of the Oh For Food’s Sake podcast, we talk to former professional chef Stephanie Kingston who traded her chef whites in for a factory uniform when she set up her nutrition-based to-go food business, Pollen + Grace. Steph lifts the lid on the Pollen + Grace story and tells us about future developments coming up for her business baby. 

Steph charts her journey into the food industry and tells us how her food intolerances made her pivot into the health food space. We discuss how she built Pollen + Grace from the ground up and transitioned it into making ever higher volumes of food to meet their growing list of distributors. You’ll hear how Steph balances out the competing needs of innovation and sustainable growth and the advice she’d give to her younger self on the cusp of starting a food business. There’s also some exciting news about what’s next for Pollen + Grace and for Steph!

In today’s episode, Expanding Your Productivity: Productive People Part 2, I discuss how the next step on my productivity journey was very much an inside job. A lot of the things that I was doing during this part of my transformative journey were invisible to those around me. But, yet had a massive impact on where I am today.

I quickly realized that to have the impact I wanted to have, I would need to create products and courses. The products you need to truly get your papers organized didn’t exist. I would need to create them. The courses you need to learn to get functionally organized and stay organized didn’t exist. I would need to create them. 

My in-home professional organizing business was growing rapidly and in the background I was creating a new vision and mission for Organize 365®. Listen in to hear how I was able to create this on an airplane!

I had a burning desire to help women learn the skill of organization so they could unlock their time to do what they were uniquely created to do. I was having great success with this with my in-home clients. But how could I do that on a larger scale?

This is where I had to just keep taking the next step. You know the long game but you are very much in the weeds, putting one foot in front of the other. To those around you, your transformation may be undetectable at this point. 

If you aren’t sure what the next step is…I’m here to affirm that no one else is going to be able to tell you either. I can tell you that you are always capable of more than you realize. You have so much more in the tank than you realize. 

Through this period of time in my life, where I was deeply internalized and absorbing information, books and podcasts, I became laser focused on creating the products that now fill the Organize 365® warehouse and are helping people all over the world (literally)! I also created The Productive Home Solution™ as the course that will help you learn to live an organized, productive and proactive life while organizing your entire home - one step at a time.

It was through my own experiences of not knowing what that next step was that I was able to create a complete program designed to provide you with the next steps for getting organized in a way that is functional and sustainable for you. Then, once you’re organized, the sky's the limit! You will have unlocked so much time and possibility and I can’t wait to see what’s next for you!

It’s so fitting that this podcast happens to be episode 550! We are now half way to 600 episodes because I just keep making the next episode and taking the next step.

Whatever stage of life you are in, I want to encourage you to let go of guilt and invest in yourself. Do and get the things you need to feel motivated, be more productive and take the next step.

The term marketing is kind of outdated.

In the “start-up” world and also in the new business world, marketing is really thought of as just plain.. advertising.

High growth businesses more often use the term GROWTH to define scaling their businesses. And there’s a big difference between “marketing”, and “GROWTH” in business.

Marketing is POTENTIAL… and Growth is ACTUAL.

So how do you best leverage Growth for your business and what are the necessary steps and metrics to ensure your growth oriented and not just looking at marketing efforts? 

In today's episode Chris breaks down exactly what business owners need to know to be a high growth business focused on scaling.

Hey friend, answer this for me… is God calling to you? Maybe you hear a voice but you’re not certain it is actually God speaking or your own flesh?

If these questions resonate, then you need to listen to the newest episode of the Catch Your Money podcast. And seriously, put it on repeat for the next three days.

This week I’ve brought Paul Ybarra on the show to talk about how to know when God is speaking. Paul knows what it means to jump whenever he hears the voice of God calling him to jump. But Paul also knows what it feels like to jump and fail because of his own flesh getting in the way.

If you have been listening in the past couple of weeks, you’ve heard me talk about jumping, overcoming fear, having unwavering faith, and serving others in your business.

And I know exactly what you’ve been thinking - “Seriously, Laura - is all of this necessary?”

Uh, yes boo boo - yes it is. If you want to be able to discern if God is speaking to you and follow His plan for your life, ALL of this is necessary. And our guest, Paul, is the perfect example of how to put it altogether!

So friend - grab your cup of joe, pull out your headphones (believe me, you’ll want no distractions for this one!), sit down and get ready to absorb so many precious nuggets of wisdom from this week’s episode.

God IS calling to you. Are you ready to find out where He is calling you?

Have your Discovering Your God-sized Dream of Working for Yourself workbook ready to follow along. If you haven’t already, there’s still time to download the free workbook (linked below) before you listen.

Here’s a sneak peek of the convo:

• [6:40] Paul discusses some of the jumps he made in his life and how he navigated through wins and losses.
• [17:20] The specific ways God tries to get your attention.
• [24:35] Why aligning with people you are meant to serve is essential to hearing God’s voice about your future.
• [26:35] Paul discusses how to inspire others to use their unique gifts.
• [33:30] What causes people to lose vision while pursuing their dreams.
• [37:06] Two key aspects of how to discern God’s instructions for us.
• [45:13] What does God’s voice actually sound like?
• [47:41] Paul gives specific advice to those who are still doubting if God is calling to them.
