Episode Highlights
[03:30] Resilience in Success
"Success does not come from continuously winning. Success comes from challenges, comes from figuring out that things aren't working exactly how you want, finding yourself getting stuck sometimes, but also, of course, celebrating those big wins"
- Resilience is essential to growing a successful business.
- Be aware and accept the things that are holding you back.
- Embrace the process and learn to bounce back and overcome adversities.
- Learn to celebrate the present. This includes sitting with and showing up on the hard days.
[05:46] Your Best Self Is Your Business's Biggest Asset
- You are your business's lifeblood and life force. You are your business's biggest asset.
- It is a must to take care of your mind, body, and spirit. By doing so, you can be your best self.
- Resilience is actively seeking and dismantling patterns that slow you down, creating new systems, and adjusting your mindsets accordingly.
[06:32] #1: Prioritize Your Health
"You are going to get your best creativity, your best energy, and your best problem solving when you take care of your body first."
- Your brain is affected by your routines, like your diet and sleep.
- Resilience comes from within. This is why it is crucial to prioritize your health.
- It only takes 10 minutes of movement to change your day.
- Take breaks to recharge! You can't be your best self if you're exhausted.
[09:22] Incorporating Movement Daily
- You do not need an hour-long workout to reap the benefits of your mind.
- A study has found that it can only take as little as 5 to 20 minutes of movement a day to get your brain working at its best.
- You can use the Pomodoro Technique to create breaks during your day. Take a stroll or dance in your living room.
- Think about how you plan and execute movement throughout the day. Overextending and overworking yourself can have detrimental effects.
- Take breaks. Like a muscle, you can't be using your mind continuously. It needs rest too.
[14:28] #2 Think of Failure as a Key to Success
- Challenges and failures are a part of the road to success. No one can relate to someone who's never struggled.
- Acknowledge problems but do not dwell on them. Show up and be solution-oriented instead.
- The Scarcity vs. Abundance Paradigm: we are neither abundant nor scarce all the time. Our focus should be on finding ways to activate ourselves during scarcity.
- Be mindful of your mind and body's current state. Ask yourself, "Why am I feeling scarcity?" Then pull yourself out of it.
"The more we talk to ourselves in a positive way, the more we're going to be able to flip that script a little more easily."
[19:59] #3: Embrace the Power of Regular Self-Reflection
- Review where you spend your time and energy regularly. Self-reflection is how you build resilience in the long term.
- Self-trust comes from having a more profound inner knowing of who you are. Cultivate a resilience mindset. What does your best self look like?
- Reflect on your life so you can address issues you encounter.
- Ask yourself, "Where do I feel stuck right now?" Then, try to find an activating step to alleviate your dilemma.
- You are the energy of your business, and you want to preserve that. Don't neglect your mental health for your business!
[24:40] #4: Creating an Ironclad Structure for your Business
- Step 1: Do not be dependent on a single channel. Instead, choose your channels and make sure they represent you well. Remember that you are creating an empire of what you do.
- You do not have to have a website to start a business. But you have to have one to scale a business.
- Step 2: Be inclusive in treating your email subscribers. Make them feel like they are part of an inner circle.
- Step 3: Maximize your social media for brand awareness and conversion.
- Create a structure — an ecosystem for your business — where you allow yourself to be independent and not hold on tightly to one platform.
[31:56] #5: Celebrating Yourself and Savoring Celebrations
- People are always on the lookout for the next thing and very seldom in the present. We are often only present when in pain.
- Celebration is about presence. It's about honoring all the work you've done.
- We do not only celebrate big wins. It can be as simple as getting through a workout or getting a fantastic cup of coffee in the morning.
"All of these are wins. All of these tell us and our subconscious that we can keep winning. We can keep celebrating. We're not going to just continue to move into the next stress, the next thing we have to do."
- Write down five gratitudes every single day. It gives you a better appreciation of now.
- Find people you are ready to celebrate with and will make you want to continue to move.
