We need more people telling us that we, exactly as we are, are enough. More importantly, we need to say it to ourselves. Instead, we live in a society that makes living the greatest game. Like we win at life somehow by achieving what we’ve been told we need to be happy. MORE!

Open up your phone, turn on your laptop, and we are constantly sold this “need” for MORE:

• More money
• More followers and likes
• More fries with that

With all this, we are also having:

• More anxiety
• More conflicts
• More on our screens instead of being present with loved ones

And here's the kicker - humans in this modern age are never satisfied.

We reach one goal, like buying a fancy house or hitting a certain income level, and immediately we're asking ourselves:

"What's next? How can we get even more?"

But here's the real question we should be asking ourselves:

Does having more actually bring us more happiness?

What We Cover in This Episode:

• The trap of continually striving for more even after learning to enjoy life.
• Define your version of 'enough' rather than succumbing to societal pressures.
• A podcast update that I share in this episode!

If you would like to see how to work with me to create a more sustainable life where you can be more present with yourself and create your checklist of success that’s not created by society and loved ones, then schedule a complimentary legacy business and career review at elainelou.com/call

It's that time of year when everyone shares how great their life is…

• Their vacations
• Their increased wealth
• Their VIP experiences with Beyonce and Taylor Swift, BLAH BLAH BLAH

It can be overwhelming and, let’s be real, annoying. *eye roll*

Because not everyone had a great year, which may include you, many people had a rough 2023.

Here are some actual #facts from this past year:

1. Dr. Murthy, the US Surgeon General, shared loneliness is the #1 epidemic in our country. This makes sense, especially after COVID and living in a life where we all use our screens to drug ourselves from reality
2. What’s happening in the world right now
3. Going through an inflation

What I’ve heard from a lot of you is -- WTF?!

• Elaine, WTF!? I got laid off…
• Elaine, WTF!? My company just laid off a bunch of people, and now I’m doing 3 people’s jobs completely overwhelmed
• Elaine, WTF!? I am no longer with this business machine I created.

In all transparency, I had a great year. But last year, 2022, was a complete shit year for me. I lost my grandma, and my partner lost his dad.

Despite last year being hard, I learned to honor that season of pause and healing.

In this podcast episode, I share 5 tips on rebounding from a tough year, whether you had one this year or one you might have in the future.

What We Cover in This Episode:

• The importance of seasons of winter - the pausing and healing
• How to embrace and honor this time
• What I’ve done when things are hard

Do you have an intuitive feeling and can tell by your bank account that things need to change in your business?

• You notice that the same content you used to create isn’t resonating with your audience.
• Everyone is talking about inflation.
• Seeing other businesses not do well.

So, how can you make sure you both thrive or at the least survive in 2024?

Today, I have a special guest with me, my fellow-boxer, friend, and brand strategist, Tiffany Newman, who spent 15 years branding for Fortune 500 companies, and now she does branding for small businesses like you and me.

Fun fact: Tiffany and I used to box and play violin when we were younger, and have both been in business for 6 years. And we’ve only known each other for 5 years! It was meant to be :)

What We Cover in This Episode:

• Six business predictions for 2024.
• What content to focus on outside of social media to build your legacy
• Why consumers are more aware of marketing tricks than ever before
• How to reevaluate and reimagine strategies for a better year of business
