In this podcast episode, I shared the exciting launch of my website, http://bossminded.com, which offers information about the Boss Minded community, including retreats, events, freebies, and my book.
I highlighted insights from my client, Laurie, who described three types of people in business: those who are interested, committed, and obsessed. This concept resonated with me, as true success often comes from being obsessed with our goals.
I emphasized the importance of having clear boundaries and messaging in our businesses, as this helps maintain focus. Success requires dedication, whether through extreme consistency or deep passion. As I prepare for upcoming programs, I want my audience to feel inspired to take action, regardless of where they are in their journeys.

In this episode, I announce major changes in my business, specifically the rebranding of my group from Lady Bosses to Boss Minded. After nearly four years of building this community, I realized the name posed trademark issues and didn't fully reflect the empowered mindset of the women involved. This new name protects my brand and emphasizes taking control of one's business and life.
Being "boss minded" is about making bold choices and fostering a supportive community where women can learn and overcome challenges together. I express my excitement for future retreats and events, and I’m grateful for the support I’ve received. Together, we can navigate the tough side of business while uplifting one another.

In this episode, I discussed my pride in attending a client’s ribbon-cutting event for her new boutique. I also reflected on recent challenges, including a virus, a friend's funeral in Utah, and the devastation from Hurricane Helene. Despite these hardships, I’m grateful that my family and home were safe, and I contemplated survivor's guilt and the lack of control we have over life’s events.
I emphasized the importance of helping others when we’re in a better position to do so. Observing the contrast between people seeking assistance and my client’s celebration reminded me that while hard work is vital, it’s not always enough in the face of uncontrollable circumstances. It's essential to appreciate our blessings and be ready to support those in need.

In this episode, I discussed the importance of building friendships in business. Having friends keeps you motivated and supports you during tough times. While extroverts may find it easier to make friends, maintaining those connections takes effort.
Business friendships create a positive environment, as I’ve seen at my retreats.

Ultimately, having a few close friends who share your values enriches your business journey.

The importance of friendships in business. How friendships fill your emotional "love tank." Extroverts versus introverts in making and keeping friends.

Supporting friends by giving encouragement and showing care. The importance of shared values in building lasting friendships. Nurturing relationships for personal and business growth.

The takeaway: you deserve happiness and the ability to steer your life in the right direction.

In this episode, I talk about setting boundaries with my mother-in-law, who often asks for help. I realized that by always saying "yes," I created a pattern where people relied on me too much. Accountability means recognizing these habits and making changes by setting limits to prioritize my well-being.
I encourage you to reflect on your own life and relationships. If you're feeling overwhelmed or disrespected, personal accountability can help you shift those dynamics. By changing your habits, you can change how others treat you. I'm here to support you with my accountability code if you're unsure where to start.
Topics covered in this episode:
Setting boundaries
Accountability in relationships
Overcoming the habit of always saying "yes"
Changing personal patterns
Recognizing unhealthy dynamics
Prioritizing well-being
Small steps toward change
Shifting habits and beliefs
Impact of personal responsibility on happiness
Support through the accountability code

In this podcast episode, I share my excitement about my upcoming eight-week program and emphasize the importance of accountability in personal development. I discuss how my coaching approach has evolved after hiring a coach to refine my messaging. I reflect on two types of clients I encounter: those who struggle to follow through and those who are productive but may lack direction. I believe both types need accountability to achieve their goals.
I explore the idea of being a self-starter and highlight the qualities my clients often possess. I encourage listeners to consider their motivations for seeking accountability, whether to overcome resistance or to boost their enthusiasm for personal growth. By sharing my experiences and insights, I stress the value of support in reaching goals while promoting my upcoming program.
