Do you remember the game, follow the leader?
I can almost see my 7-year-old self, marching in a line, following every move that the "leader" was telling me to do.
When I started to scale my business and add digital products, group experiences, and outside opportunities, I spent a lot of time listening and following those that have done it before me.
Because they had been financially successful( or so they say), I thought that they had all the answers. The truth is, I already had all the answers inside of me but didn't see them or have the confidence to believe them. It took me a while to follow my gut and when I did, that's when everything shifted.
I am privileged to be able to talk to lots of people who are either simply thinking about an idea, expanding what they already have, or starting from scratch and I have learned, that there is no one formula, blueprint, or recipe for how one gets to where they want to go.
In this week's podcast episode, I will...
Do you have a lot of items on your to-do list?
One of the most effective ways of being productive and staying organized is by systematizing your tasks and to-do list. My friend and client, Laurey, used to have a 7-page (back and front) bible of notes until I helped her redesign it.
In today's episode, Laurey Bennett-Levy is our client spotlight. She's an artist, philanthropist, mentor, and all-around amazing human. Working together over the past 7 years, I have seen both the highs and lows of growing her artistic career.
During our conversation, Laurey shares how her life and career changed over the years and how each phase has led her to reignite her passion for creating art. But being an artist is not her only strength.
She knows how to bring people together and because of her generous spirit, she shares her knowledge and expertise in her 300+ member community. She also talks candidly about how she built a business in her 50s.
Here are a few key takeaways.

Do you find that it's so much easier to talk yourself into all the things that you didn't do rather than reflect on the little actions you did do?
The constant noise and conversations in your head can get the best of you.
But this past year, surviving brain cancer, hip replacement surgery, pivots in my business, and tiny failures, I made a choice to work on changing that narrative.
I started with an exercise that I give to my clients and also share on my website (for free). However, because I had already spent the month of December outlining my intentions for 2023, instead I took some time to reflect on "what was" over the past year.
Here's what I uncovered:
survived brain surgery and am currently cancer free,
rebranded and got clear on where I want my focus to be
committed to a 4-day work week
automated my services, programs, and website, and am mastering the art of passive income
learned to be okay with receiving and asking...
Want to work and collaborate together, {{ first_name }}, in 2023?
I know you have big dreams for the coming year and my question to you is, have you started building that roadmap yet?
If the answer is NO, I have an inkling as to why...
...you're already overwhelmed at the thought of it
...burnout in 2022 has been so profound that you are questioning "is it worth it"
...you doubt that you have the confidence or the bandwidth to endure another year
I get it! I get it because those that I am already collaborating with a feel all of the above and so much more. And to be totally transparent, there were moments in 2022 when I felt it in a huge way.
The truth is, {{ first_name }}, building a business and the life that you want (and deserve) in your 50's(and 60's) doesn't have to SUCK!
There's a way to do it without feeling so isolated and alone. The past two + years have amplified the loneliness and one of the ways...
