There are few milestones in life quite like hitting 100; in football 100 yards is a touchdown, 100 years is a century, and of course, 100% is all in. Did you know 90% of podcasters quit after just 3 episodes and of those left 90% of those quit after the 20th episode?

However, others see it as disgruntled employees doing the bare minimum. Yes, that is right we are talking about “Quiet Quitting”. Quiet Quitting is defined as doing the bare minimum at work meaning “finishing work on time every day, always taking your lunch break, or turning down projects that are outside of your job”, some might say just doing your job and not going above and beyond. Although we are stron...2022-09-0736 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 97: Financial Wellness Strategies for Entrepreneurs, Executives & Emerging Leaders w/Jami Buchanan McNeesEpisode 97: Financial Wellness Strategies for Entrepreneurs, Executives & Emerging Leaders  How many of you know that your relationship with money impacts aspects of all areas of your life, including productivity, physical health, and mental health? It is crazy to know that nearly half (47%) of Americans report that they are stressed dealing with their financial situation and over 40% are struggling to pay their bills as we speak. So how does one move from stress and anxiousness to empowerment and confidence? That’s right, just like your physical health you have the power to become financially fit. Financially fit can be defined as...2022-08-3139 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 96: Spiritual Wellness Strategies for Entrepreneurs, Executives and Emerging LeadersOne of the most misunderstood concepts is Spiritual Well-being, as many people think it refers to a “particular religious or spiritual practice/ideology”. When what it truly is, is one's pursuit of life’s meaning, their individual purpose, and a connection to something greater than oneself. However, finding meaning and purpose in life is just the foundation of one’s spiritual well-being as determining one’s values, beliefs and morals are just as equally important. It has been said that if you don’t stand for something you will fall for everything, and you are vulnerable to that if you haven’t...2022-08-2330 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 95: Physical Wellness Strategies for EntrepreneursEpisode 95 Physical Wellness Strategies for Entrepreneurs Some of the most stressful and demanding roles in any industry are the leader, owner, and or main money maker. If you are an entrepreneur you take on the stress and demand of all three of these. That is why it is extremely important to stay physically fit and create routines that allow you to remain there. Some individuals feel having too much discipline is painful, however, a greater pain than that is the pain of regret. One’s physical health impacts every aspect of their life from business all the wa...2022-08-1635 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 94: Mental Wellness Tips for EntrepreneursThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that mental health “includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relates to others, and make choices”. They have even found that over 50% of the population will be diagnosed with a mental illness or disorder at some point in their lifetime. Sadly for entrepreneurs/business owners that statistic goes up to 72%. So the question becomes what are the 28% doing to stay mentally healthy and successful and is there patterns that we can learn not to do f...2022-08-0943 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 93: Wellness Tips and Strategies for EntrepreneursOne of the greatest compliments given is “you are a go-getter with limitless ambition and an inventive mind”. The flip side of this comment for entrepreneurs was founded by the National Institute of Mental Health when their studies showed that 72% of entrepreneurs are affected (directly and or indirectly) by mental health issues compared with their non-entrepreneur counterparts who were 48%. Furthermore, they also found that “49% of entrepreneurs deal with mental health issues directly while only 32% of others experienced them”. However, it does not have to be this way, these statistics are reversible and positively you can avoid them altogether. In this episode...2022-08-0121 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 92: 3 Tips for Surviving the Summer Business SlumpMany businesses have a slow season some are in winter while others seem to be in summer. Studies show us that during the summer employees tend to be more distracted and production decreases. They have also been known to show up a little later, leave a little early, and call out more to extend their weekend. There are many reasons this happens, clearly, the weather or the kids being on break are two main ones. So the question becomes do entrepreneurs also hit a “wall” during this time? Absolutely, but the wall may not be what you think, the wall...2022-07-2614 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 91: Six-Figure Summer: Networking & NurturingWhen growing up summer was the perfect time to make friends and hang out with the old ones building deeper relationships. As simplified as that sounds, it is a great formula for increasing your business as an adult. As we have mentioned before sales are a lot like dating, no one wants a one-night sale and we love to buy from people we know, like, and trust. So do not “pounce” on people you just met, pounce means to attack suddenly while leaping on your pray. Unfortunately, some of us have experienced the following, the party or network meetup where some...2022-07-1938 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 90: Take time to Self-reflect and rediscover what you love this summer!When you start a new adventure in anything, especially a business, the journey is infused with inspiration, ambition, and pure energy. However, after the day-to-day operations and the everyday mundane tasks of life kick in, it is not uncommon for the initial excitement and intensity to subside. Worse with all this extra time and work focused on the business we can lose sight of ourselves, our passions, and sometimes why even started the business. One of the most important things we can do, is sadly, the first thing most business owners stop doing first; which is doing the things...2022-07-1218 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 88: Summer Strategies for building robust systemsOne common thing that can get in the way of running a successful business is taking on too much. Entrepreneurs, small business owners, and new leaders tend to work on people and not systems. Although building up your people is a great thing, the first thing one must focus on is putting the systems in place as they are the “essential building blocks of your company”. When you do not have consistent actions you cannot create consistent results and in business not having consistent results can put you out of business. Two of the most important things in your comp...2022-07-0534 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 87: Summer Strategies for Self-MasteryIt is crazy to think that the person who gets up every day at 6 am to work out can be the same person to eats an entire box of doughnuts in one sitting. That’s right, we can be our own best friend and or our worst enemy. Ironically, the path to everything we want begins with us and our self-mastery. Self-mastery begins with self-awareness because it is usually in the small insignificant things that shape our lives. In general, these things that are easy to do, are also the things that are easy not to do. Thus, self-mastery is...2022-07-0538 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 89: Speaking life into your business!One of the most powerful lessons for an entrepreneur to embrace is the importance of “owning your space”. Owning your space communicates to the world “you believe in your value” and are competent enough to back it up. However, the opposite has a greater effect, when you fail to own your space, you are telling the world “you lack confidence” in what you are doing. So the question becomes, if you do not believe in yourself or your services why should anyone else? The of your business starts with your self-value and the confidence you have in the outcomes your busines...2022-07-0531 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 86: The Art & Science of Sales during the SummerThere are two types of people in this world, those who love sales and those who think they never “sell” aka those who say “they don’t like sales”. Oddly, everything in life is a form of influence and sales is influence. Now, we are not saying there is not a negative form of influence because that form is usually why people hate sales. If you have a distaste for sales, you likely believe that “you are manipulating others or you believe that selling requires you to “convince” people to buy something they don't want or need, and worst can't afford.

Unfortunately, for some businesses that also means fewer customers which may translate into less cash flow. As entrepreneurs, owners, and leaders in our companies, we are no stranger to the concept of quarters and seasons when it comes to our businesses. Although it may be a time for slowing down for some, it is certainly not a time for stopping. This is why it is so important to create a plan of action for this coming summer season. However, before you can focus on a plan you need to be...2022-06-0733 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 84: Sacrifice and SuccessSadly, a few years ago a Gallup poll was taken and only 28% of Americans knew the true meaning of Memorial Day. Most people got it confused with Veterans Day and a few just thought it marked the first weekend of summer. Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving our country. Although the impact of this day is lost on most it is defiantly not confused by those who have suffered through the loss of a loved one who has died for our freedoms.

Being an entrepreneur can sometimes feel a bit lonely, especially if you work from home and your environment never changes. Additionally, some studies have shown that continuous isolation is not good and we have a need to be among other human beings. There are numerous more reasons besides the core reason of connection to frequent a co-working space. These spaces allow for structure, focus, and even the opportunity to meet new potential customers. Perhaps most importantly is the culture of professional standards that echo...2022-05-2434 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 82: 10X your WHY and reach your full potentialEpisode 82: 10X your WHY and reach your full potential One of the first things that shifts when you transition into an entrepreneurial mindset is where your accountability comes from. Accountability moves from others holding you responsible to you taking personal responsibility for all actions and outcomes in your life. Now at first, this may seem overwhelming but the truth is, it is the most freeing stance you can take. When you are at cause and take complete responsibility for yourself and your actions you have the power to change any situation. What motivates entrepreneurs to move toward...2022-05-1738 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEPISODE 81- The SHIFT with business strategist Monique PayanThe entrepreneurial mindset is not based on owning a company or being an employee, it is based on running the business you work in like it is your business. It is ownership over your outcomes and aligning your actions with the company’s vision while focusing on your brand in and outside of your employee role.

A key to this is cut and dry meaning if you want to become a professional chef you first need to start cooking. You do not need to wait you can start at any level with the next best thing you can do from where you are at.

Mindsets are cultivated through experiences, other people, and self-beliefs. Furthermore, most entrepreneurs are not motivated by “getting rich”, they are motivated by creating value for others or solving a problem. Now, we are not saying becoming wealthy is not a great by-product of your dedication, time, and energy; it is. However, it will not work as the driving force behind your motivation, that force belongs to your why. Once you are connected to yo...2022-04-2635 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 78: The Shift from Employee to EntrepreneurIn 2021, more than 42 million employees left their jobs which the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports was 60% higher than in 2020. Some are calling it “The Great Resignation” and say it goes deeper than just corvid-19 after-effects. Perhaps it was the time many employees were unexpectedly given when sent to work from home that had many of them thinking. These thoughts led them to leave their current jobs in search of more freedom, flexibility, and finances. Ironically, these reasons are why most business owners started their entrepreneurial journey. However, many employees will just find new “jobs” as they lack two crucial componen...2022-04-1938 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 77: Setting up your business for successEpisode 77: Setting up your business for success  Most people are surprised to learn that in 2021, the number of small businesses in the US reached 32.5 million, making up nearly all (99.9 percent) US businesses. The U.S. Small Business Administration defines a small business as “a privately owned corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship that has 500 or fewer employees, usually, they have less than 50. We tend to agree with the website Lumen’s definition which defines a small business by the owner which is “an individual who creates, organizes, and manages an enterprise with considerable initiative (and usually shouldering considerable risk al...2022-04-1234 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 76: Is your business setup for success?The U.S. Bureau of Labor reports that around 20% of all small businesses fail within the first year, if that isn’t scary enough by the end of their fifth year, roughly 50% of the remaining will close their doors for good. Some of the more common reasons are lack of capital, poor management, no infrastructure, and unsuccessful marketing initiatives. All of these are usually overseen, fulfilled, and ignored by one person, the business owner.  In most small businesses the owner plays three crucial roles; they own the place, they manage everything, and some even are the company's onl...2022-04-0527 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 75: Think like a man but sell like a woman with Dawn SneedEpisode 75: Think like a man but sell like a woman with Dawn Sneed In honor of Women’s History Month, we are interviewing ambitious, heart-centered experts, leaders, and entrepreneurs who make a difference in the communities they share and live in.

Moreover, as if your phone was not enough the average worker spends 2 hours a day recovering from the distraction that takes our focus away in the first place.

Sadly, most people are quick to blame others or their circumstances, ignore problems and hide from all shortcomings. The good news is self-accountability is a muscle and the more committed and consistent you are in building it, the stronger it will be.

We think that is because they have an old-school idea of what being accountable means. They come from the definition of it being “to justify” or “to explain,” as in How do you account for your actions? To be accountable, then, is to be able to account for one’s actions in the past tense. We prefer the Partners in Leadership definition which is “a personal choice to rise above one's circumstances and demonstrate the ownership necessary for achieving Key Results”. Accountability, therefore, is in the present te...2022-01-2518 minMade2nspireMade2nspireEpisode 65: Do you have a DREAM?In August of 1963, nearly 250,000 people gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington to rally for “jobs and freedom”.

What many people do not know is that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had originally prepared a short and somewhat formal speech that day that did not include any talks about his “dream”.
