Podcast: EP 102 Starting Small to Go Big with Lindsey Schwartz

Podcast: EP 102 Starting Small to Go Big with Lindsey Schwartz

I have a big girl crush on this woman.

 

I was introduced to Lindsey through a friend a little while ago and immediately fell in love with her energy, her content, and her work. I’ve followed her, listened to her show, and loved what she’s doing. But when I got to meet her in person at an event we both spoke at this spring, it really sealed the deal for me. She is as great in real life as she is online, and I am so happy I get to share her story and magic with you.

Lindsey Schwartz is an entrepreneur, top podcast host, and best-selling author. Fiercely committed to supporting other women, Lindsey invests her time in mentoring women and girls of all ages—from high achieving entrepreneurs to high school students. She’s also an investor in female-founded companies including beverage brand Lite Pink.

As a sought after speaker, Lindsey travels around the world inspiring women to get out of their own way and into action around their big ideas, and helping them create the careers they’ve always dreamed of.

After seeing numerous women in her life stop short of pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams because of fear and self-doubt, she saw the need for more honest conversations about the ups & downs of entrepreneurship in order to show women that they don’t have to have it all together to get started. From there, the Powerhouse Women community, annual event, and podcast were born, with the motto that we’re not meant to do business (or life) alone!

In this episode, Lindsey shares the story of how she moved from her comfort zone to community leader status, what gave her the courage to take a big leap, and how you can tune into your own powerhouse self and do the same.

“It’s really bold and it can be really challenging to leave something that’s going well.”

Podcast: EP 101 Sales + Dating? Be magnetic in all of your relationships

Podcast: EP 101 Sales + Dating? Be magnetic in all of your relationships

I’m sharing a metaphor that I think you’ll like.

 

I see so many similarities between sales and dating. They both require trust, time, and connection for them to be successful. Teaching people how to successfully sell their work is one of my favorite ways to coach, and it is so similar to successful dating. I wanted to share some of my best tips in this episode that you can apply to either area of your life — or both!

In this episode, I lay out the key pieces of successful sales and dating, the big turnoffs to avoid, and how to set up your sales funnel (or dating approach) for success. I hope you enjoy this mini coaching session and if you’re interested in working more with me on this, I share some options for you at the end. 

“One of the ways you gain trust . . . is by asking questions and learning to listen.”

Podcast: EP 100 The Heart Knows the Way

Podcast: EP 100 The Heart Knows the Way

friends, we are at episode 100 on the podcast.

 

My heart is so full as I celebrate this “century” podcast episode. I felt prompted to start a podcast years before I did. But as I said in episode 1, imperfect action is how we get things done. To look back on the last 100 episodes, the last 3 years, and all the conversations this show has sparked is so joyful for me. Thank you for listening.

In this episode, I wanted to share 3 clips from past episodes that I especially loved as a celebration of what this show has created. First you’ll hear from my friend Kute Blackson, followed by my mentor Jack Canfield, and finishing up with a super special message from someone dear to me, the poet Mark Nepo. Here’s to the next 100 episodes friends — join me!

“We’ve talked about open hearts and dreaming bigger and mindset and growth – to sales and marketing and success to the heart work and relationships – the willingness to heal and expand.”

Podcast: EP 99 Let’s 10X Your Life + Business with Dr. Ben Hardy

Podcast: EP 99 Let’s 10X Your Life + Business with Dr. Ben Hardy

Dr. Ben Hardy is back on the show already because his new book is blowing my mind.

 

Remember when Benjamin Hardy was on the show just a few episodes ago and I promised I would have him back as soon as his new book was coming out? The time has come and I couldn’t wait to share this new episode with you. It’s about how to scale your business, work, or goals, not just to double them, but to 10 times them. That’s right, Ben says that it’s actually easier to 10x your impact than to double it. If this is surprising to you, don’t miss this episode.

Dr. Benjamin Hardy is an organizational psychologist and is the world’s leading expert on the psychology of entrepreneurial leadership and exponential growth. His PhD research focused on entrepreneurial courage and transformational leadership. Before completing his PhD, his blogs were read by over 100 million people, he published his first major book Willpower Doesn’t Work, and he was running a 7-figure online training business. Since finishing his PhD in 2019, Dr. Hardy has published 5 additional books, including three co-authored with the legendary entrepreneurial coach, Dan Sullivan. His books have sold hundreds of thousands of copies and he is a sought-after teacher and speaker at corporate and entrepreneurial events as well as Fortune 500 companies. He and his wife Lauren are the parents of six kids and live in Orlando, Florida.

In this episode, Ben breaks down each of the questions I had while reading his new book and explains the difference in effort between doubling and 10xing your business, why it’s easier to go for 10x, and how this can actually work in your own life. I haven’t stopped thinking about these principles since reading his book, and I feel like I’m about to make big changes in what I’m doing as a result.

“10X is a truth filter. It allows you to honestly look at your life.”
