  • In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I am talking about the concept of strategic pruning in leadership and business. I draw parallels between farming and leadership, advocating for the intentional removal of non-essential elements to foster growth and clarity. I share my personal experiences with hardship and how they taught me the value of pruning for better focus and vision. For me the pruning season was thrown at me, but I know being intentional about it will contribute to your growth.

    I encourage you to regularly align your actions with core values and vision, and to eliminate tasks that don't serve your ultimate goals. The episode emphasizes proactive pruning as a key to vibrant growth and success.

  • In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I dive into the topic of burnout among entrepreneurs. I bet you have felt it or thought it before, but its not actually burnout. I challenge the common belief that burnout is simply a result of being too busy or not taking enough self-care. Instead, I propose that burnout often stems from a misalignment between where we focus our energy and our innate gifts and passions. 

    So if it is not burnout, what is it? Misaligned focus. It is that simple. 

    I talk about how spending time outside of our "sweet spot" can leave us feeling overwhelmed and drained, no matter how busy we might be. I share some personal stories and encourage you, my listeners, to think about how much of your time is spent playing to your strengths. 

    Questions to Reflect On: 

    What’s on my plate? And why am I doing these things?What feels heavy right now? How can I delegate, delete, or defer these things off my plate?

  • In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I dive deep into the world of strategic thinking and leadership mindsets. I share with you five distinct ways that leaders set themselves apart: they're not afraid to take strategic risks, they see setbacks as learning opportunities, they always keep their eyes on potential solutions, they know how to balance their grand visions with the practical realities, and they're unwaveringly committed to their long-term objectives. I'm passionate about encouraging you, as leaders, to put personal growth at the forefront and to cultivate the qualities that resonate with your own vision. 

    This is actually a really strategic conversation around how leaders think differently to win. And I'm specifically covering the top five ways leaders think differently than most entrepreneurs.

  • In this podcast episode of the Luminary Leadership Podcast, I'll be sharing three valuable strategies that can help you grow your business and improve your quality of life this year. Use these 3 things as a checkpoint to make sure your time, energy, and resources are used efficiently this year. 

    As an entrepreneur, it's crucial to focus on finding partners and collaborators who align with your vision and values, rather than just going for the biggest names in the industry. Another important aspect I'll be discussing is mastering your schedule and aligning it with your overall vision and goals. It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day tasks and lose sight of the bigger picture. By taking control of your schedule and making sure it reflects your priorities, you can ensure that you're making progress towards your goals.

    I'll also be introducing the concept of data-driven decision making. Instead of relying on gut feelings or guesswork, I encourage entrepreneurs to set goals based on actual data and numbers. By measuring and analyzing data, you can make more informed and strategic decisions for your business.

    Episode Outline: 

    Strategic Partnerships and Relationships (00:01:55)Schedule Mastery (00:13:26) Data-Driven Decision Making (00:20:38) .Leveraging Data for Decision Making (00:25:19)Challenges of Embracing Data (00:26:10) Key Focal Points for Growth (00:27:04)

Because the term “CEO” has now become a cutesy title I am seeing people call themselves when really they are not navigating their business at all and I want to clarify what is actually required to be a true CEO of your business. 

    These three things are vision casting, relationship building, and making high leverage moves. I am going to get specific with each one of these because as a CEO you are the shepherd of your business. You are there to set the sail, keep your people engaged & involved with helping you get there, and the one that people lean on when navigating through challenges. I share with you the specific ways to take action with these 3 things and the common mistakes entrepreneurs make that prevent them from fully embracing the CEO role.

    I challenge you to do these 3 things this week and let it create more growth, time, capacity, & profit in your life and business. You are going to be free from the low value tasks while making high value moves that will allow you to step into the leader that you are called to be and hold that title of CEO with pride.

  • I am joined by the go-to expert in sales, Nikki Rausch, who has also become a dear friend of mine. She has supported me, mentored me and given me so many great ideas and learnings around sales. She comes to the table with over 25 years of experience selling to prestigious organizations, such as The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Hewlett-Packard, and NASA. But she realized her passion and her gift was really in serving entrepreneurs and helping them step into possibility when it comes to scaling and selling.

    Together, we unpacked the importance of fostering a conversational and safe environment for sales interactions, with a strong focus on nurturing relationships and truly understanding what our clients need. Nikki opened up about her transition from the corporate sales world to becoming an entrepreneur, highlighting how crucial it is to build rapport and the power of asking the right questions to engage with potential clients effectively. We also discussed tactics for managing high-ticket sales, the finesse involved in pricing without the need to justify, and the fine line of helping buyers make decisions without feeling pressured. Throughout our conversation, we kept coming back to the significance of being authentic and maintaining integrity in sales, which I believe is key to delivering a consistent and positive client experience that not only retains customers but also encourages them to make referrals.

    This conversation gets really strategic, really tactical. Nikki shares so many things that you can apply immediately to see growth in your business, changes that will immediately affect sales in your business. But, on top of that, we had some great conversations around leadership, growth and possibility.

  • In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I dive into the controversial topic that many entrepreneurs face: the pressure to keep up a facade of success. I talk about how harmful this "smoke and mirrors" tactic can be for both personal and business growth. Sharing from my own journey with mastermind groups, I make a case for the power of authenticity and vulnerability. I caution you against falling into the trap of the "keeping up with the Joneses" mentality. 

    I want to encourage you to stay true to who you are, which I believe is the key to forging meaningful connections and achieving genuine success.

  • I had the pleasure of sitting down with Allie Caffrey, the innovative mind behind Operations Agency. We dove into a conversation about how entrepreneurs can truly elevate their businesses by introducing systems that foster growth and success. Allie shared her game-changing strategy, the "90/90 principle," which she describes as dedicating 90 minutes of focused, CEO-level work each day for a continuous stretch of 90 days to make significant headway on important projects.

    During our chat, we explored the often-overlooked concept of intentional rest and how taking a step back can actually propel a business forward. Allie opened up about her personal experience with maternity leave, revealing how it served as an unexpected turning point for her business, spurring growth in ways she hadn't anticipated. She offered up some solid, actionable advice for fellow entrepreneurs on how to prepare for maternity leave, ensuring that both their business and their personal needs are met. And you are catching an early announcement to some big news for the Hartke Family!

    The conversation with Allie was truly inspiring, and it culminated in a powerful call to action for all entrepreneurs listening. It was a reminder that at the heart of a thriving business is a leader who values and prioritizes their health and happiness just as much as their company's bottom line.

I highlight the significance of establishing clear economic goals, weighing the risks and potential benefits, and reacting with nimbleness to foster growth and innovation. Drawing from my own journey as an entrepreneur with over a decade of experience, I underline the importance of assessing results and advocate for nurturing an environment that embraces risk and innovation.
