There's a reason a lot of people don't like the word "manifestation": it's usually a trick.

You will discover:
How to tell where you're blocking your ability to manifest How to attune yourself to the energy of what you want to manifest Why you don't need to be someone fundamentally different to manifest what you wantGet the full show notes and transcript at: https://besuperabound.com/podcast/292-does-manifestation-work

Being alone does not mean being lonely.
It can be an experience of peace, power, creativity, healing, and more.
But for it to be any of those things—and not just annoying—you sometimes need to know why you're doing it and get some guidance on what to do. Otherwise your time alone may not be as fruitful as it could be.
That's why we developed a practice we like to call "Solo Soul Time." It's a way of being alone intentionally, focused on where you need nourishment, growth, or just some space.

Succeeding in business can be boiled down to two things: making great decisions and following through on them.
We're going to focus on the first one, noticing how great decisions are more than just the choice you make, but also the speed and confidence with which you make it.

But as with so many other aspects of leadership, making good decisions is a skill that you can improve at, which will help you overcome the analysis paralysis that many leaders experience.

Lean does not mean small. In fact, "small business" is one of our least favorite words, as it implies less of an impact.
Lean, in our definition, means driven, strong, and purposeful. It's where you "punch above your weight" in terms of how the market perceives you relative to the size of your company. Your business makes a big difference with fewer resources and less waste than similar organizations.
Lean is a philosophy more than a set of instructions. And this episode will help you put that philosophy to work in growing your business.
