And so 67 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.439 it's getting really clear about what matters to you, why 68 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.719 it matters, and then how to move the dial forward 69 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:30.039 on that. 70 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:35.159 Awesome, great January information to have, and then we're going 71 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.719 to go right into once you know that you'd better 72 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:41.120 be Hello, Carol, explain. 73 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:45.000 Hello, Carol PATRESI. I'm in Houston, Texas and all over 74 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:50.199 the world, but in Houston, Texas physically accountability. Just as 75 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:55.159 Dev said I found twenty years ago. You can know 76 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.080 a lot, you can learn a lot, but if you 77 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.680 don't become accountable for what it is as you need 78 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:02.159 to do and what you want to be and all 79 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.840 the things, it's not going to happen. So I love it, 80 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:07.240 all right. 81 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:11.199 All right, and Laurie please share sure. 82 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.199 I am Laurie McDowell, and I am also outside of Houston, Texas, 83 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.279 So Carol, we'll have to get together. And I am 84 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.199 a reinvention coach and really what I help people do 85 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:25.560 is reinvent their life so that they're living a life 86 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.480 that's full of joy and fulfillment and happiness. So I 87 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:33.399 help them come from wherever they are and reinvent their life. 88 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.279 Sometimes it requires an outside change, but most often it's 89 00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.920 an inside change where you really find out what your 90 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:40.879 true values are and then how do you live the 91 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:42.279 life that's full of purpose? 92 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.240 Right on? Right on? Very well, and Ron doc. 93 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.439 Hello, I'm Randa Travers and I'm from Saint Louis, Missouri, 94 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.720 heart of Midwest, and it is very chilly here as 95 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:58.240 well at the time of this recording. I'm a leadership 96 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:03.839 development trainer, so I focus on the managers, leaders individuals 97 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.639 to really understand how do you engage others, How do 98 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:11.279 you lead others? How do you inspire others so that 99 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.920 it's creating success for them. It's a win win situation. 100 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:21.800 Not only you're empowering your team, but you're also empowering 101 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.360 yourself because you're working together towards the goal. 102 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.120 Right on so great. I love that we are bringing 103 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:32.040 it together and we're also you know, as time goes 104 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.519 on in the world of coaching, training and mentoring, if 105 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:38.560 you look at the repertoire, I mean really it does 106 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.120 it expand. So one thing that I love about being 107 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.240 in business for a few days back to back. Now 108 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:46.879 is that as you move through your business, as you 109 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.600 move through your life, you may need to hire a 110 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.240 coach or what I call an expert in a specific 111 00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.639 area for a specific time. I would like to try 112 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.040 to highlight because I think coaching really branched out of counseling. 113 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.639 You know, people did counseling, They went to counseling. There's 114 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.800 nothing wrong with it. People ask me many times, how 115 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:04.600 have you stayed in business as long? On my coaching? 116 00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.399 Counseling there, But it's and experts, I mean really, there's 117 00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.480 you know, it's it's an interesting party. But and so 118 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:14.120 then people have this idea that it's they're signing up for, 119 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.040 you know, the next two, three, four, five years of 120 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.639 their life now possible. And I think that we should 121 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.319 always be surrounded by someone that's giving us a life 122 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.839 of betterment. I think that's the interesting thing about coaching, 123 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.079 is that when you decide to be a coach, I 124 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:27.759 mean truly, I think kind of you sign up for 125 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.399 being a servant leader because you're leading. But I think 126 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:36.879 the best coaches are always staying in that place of learning, teaching, learning, teaching, learning, 127 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:39.639 teaching because you can't get stale in this industry. 128 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:40.560 If you get. 129 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.240 Stale, you'll see it. You'll see it in your clients. 130 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:45.839 You'll see it in your lack of clients. There's always 131 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.519 that need to have to walk our walk, you know, 132 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.839 and then talk our talk. That's you know, So it's 133 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.639 a it's an interesting you know, it's like you step 134 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.480 into this world and then you are also forced yourself 135 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.360 to go through personal development as well. It's really interesting. 136 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:03.439 But what I want to say about that is that 137 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.480 there's so many different people that do so many different 138 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.319 things that it's, you know, really beautiful as an industry 139 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.959 and a sector to come together and recognize that. So 140 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:14.120 there's many times that I work with someone, let's say 141 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.800 in media, but honestly they can't get their stuff done. 142 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.279 So we'll go talk to someone who talks about accountability. 143 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:22.519 Because really there is this great weave that can happen 144 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.360 in sceptors now that have been unlike before, and I 145 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.480 think specifically this one. So let's talk a little bit 146 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:31.439 about because many times people decide like why would why 147 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:33.879 would you decide to take that on? So what was 148 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.399 it that means you decide? Specifically in this sector, look 149 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:39.800 what made this your jam? You know, like you get 150 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:41.959 up in the morning and you're excited about this. Rachel, 151 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:42.639 let's go to you. 152 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:44.519 Yeah. 153 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.759 I love what you said about, you know, just always 154 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.120 keeping your skills fresh and learning. Because really that's what 155 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.439 started me on this journey. I learned a lot of 156 00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:56.000 stuff the hard way, and I wanted to be able 157 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.360 to share that. Right, not everybody has to learn everything 158 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:02.120 the hard way, and so to take what I've learned 159 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:05.120 share that with others really create a feeling that you're 160 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.519 not in it alone and be able to have support 161 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.879 and community in doing things that you love. And so 162 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.000 it really started for me having all of my passion 163 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:19.319 projects on the go and balancing that with a very 164 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.759 busy lifestyle and a full time job. And I said, 165 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.399 if I can do this, and I can help others 166 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.600 to do this as well, like there's power in the 167 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:29.920 community and we can really do things that are wonderful 168 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:30.480 for this world. 169 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:34.919 Awesome, Thank you, thank you, and Carol Gosh, I agree 170 00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:39.200 with everything you just said. And as Dev mentioned, this 171 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:43.759 is an interesting party coaching and mentoring and it does 172 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:49.360 all stem from counseling and I myself at a young 173 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:53.600 age over twenty well pretty young. Over twenty years ago. 174 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:59.840 God involved in and personal development and coaching and mentors, 175 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:06.159 and it became for me. I felt accountable to pass 176 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:10.120 that forward and to share that forward. And although we 177 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.759 are all in the same industry, if you will, it's 178 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:17.039 like when you go to the doctor, how many different 179 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.320 types of doctors are there, and you might need to, 180 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.000 like Deb said, you might need to see a specialist 181 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:29.799 in the area to bring it all together. And especially 182 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.200 as women, you know, it's a women group here today 183 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.720 we have become a group of people that want to 184 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:42.960 help one another grow in every area specifically. So I 185 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:50.279 felt not just joy being involved and receiving. As Deb said, 186 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.840 it is a learning and teaching, learning and teaching. We 187 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.919 never stop in order to share the best we have, 188 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:02.519 and it's a responsibility and I feel accountable to share 189 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:04.840 the information right on. 190 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.480 Thank you so much. I love the doctor analogy. I 191 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.879 love that, right, I love that. That's that's so important 192 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.159 because myself included, There's been times where I have seen 193 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.679 different people even at the same time. Right, whether I'm 194 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.480 going for some financial expertise, maybe I'm going, you know, 195 00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:26.759 like to to reach out and learn different things. You 196 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:29.120 can it doesn't have to be, you know, one after 197 00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:31.120 another after another. You can do it at the same time. 198 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.720 And a lot of coaches have a lot of experience 199 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:35.960 in different areas and they can bring it together for 200 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:39.039 the most part, because we've dealt with so many different things. 201 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.840 But coach, you know, coaches that have that jam that 202 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:45.559 really like this is their sweet spot and then you 203 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.799 know to to adapt into. It's like having someone walk 204 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.600 into a wellness center, right and they can go to 205 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:55.679 all the different modalities. Most practitioners know a lot about 206 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.039 each other's mendality, but when you really need to get 207 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:03.480 that expert and and it moves like this exactly. Yeah, absolutely, 208 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.240 And Laurie for yourself. 209 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.759 Sure, Yeah, I was forced into a transition. I'm a 210 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:11.960 chemical engineer by degree, and I worked in corporate America 211 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:16.240 for over thirty years, and I was forced to reinvent 212 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.039 myself at a point, and I wanted to learn a lot. 213 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:23.480 So I actually studied people who had had horrible things 214 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:28.200 happen to themselves and reinvent themselves into amazing you know, 215 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.360 basically came back from the trauma and did something so 216 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:34.279 much more. And I was so inspired by that I 217 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:36.960 actually wrote a book about it, and I started studying 218 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.320 more and more so I could help other people because 219 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:42.320 it and it's so true what we said about learning. 220 00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.279 I mean, I learn, I have so many coaches. 221 00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:46.519 I learned, and I adapt, and I learned and I adapt, 222 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.799 and it's just so many people like live these mediocre 223 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:53.799 lives where they don't believe there's anything better. And I 224 00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:55.440 just wanted to learn as much as I could to 225 00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:57.759 help people show that there's always something better and you 226 00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:00.840 can always improve and always create a better life and 227 00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:04.159 a better you just by you know, learning more and 228 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:06.320 more on personal growth and personal development. 229 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:10.840 Thank you so much. Oh my gosh, Ronda, tell us 230 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.240 what made you decide to get in and help these 231 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:17.360 leaders become I don't know, people to breathe me, you know, 232 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.200 be more empowering. What was it for you? 233 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.120 Well, like Lourie, I had a thirty year corporate career 234 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.840 and actually an intern audit risk management and compliance, so 235 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:32.519 I'm a recovering auditor. But the common theme throughout my 236 00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:38.159 career is I was passionate about coaching, training, and developing 237 00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:41.879 not only my personnel teams and the professionals throughout that 238 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:45.320 time period, but then also at the at the you 239 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.720 know a team level, you know the department. And so 240 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:53.000 I loved working with the employees on reaching their career 241 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:56.759 goals and getting that next promotion and learning and really 242 00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:00.440 being thriving in our environment. And I knew that when 243 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.000 I launched my business that's what I wanted to do 244 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:06.799 is I want to work with other organizations and their 245 00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:11.360 leaders and owners of how to create a thriving, successful 246 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.200 culture for their employees and their teams. And we are 247 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:18.840 all leaders, and so I love being around these women 248 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.879 because you're working on how to work within yourself and 249 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.279 then as a leader, how then you can you communicate 250 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.960 and connect and create collaboration and a culture where everyone 251 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.320 else thrives around you as a leader. 252 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.600 So interesting. I'm sure you're all going to be chatting 253 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:40.480 with each other later. So one of the things that 254 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:44.200 a lot of coaches do, and many of us here 255 00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:48.039 have books or parts of books or what have you 256 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.360 that we're in and in the show notes, we'll have 257 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.399 all your information and people can be you know, you 258 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.679 can share them as assets as well. But has there 259 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.960 been a book that's inspired you? Has there been a 260 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:01.679 book that inspired many times it goes together, maybe not, 261 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:05.360 Maybe it was you know, the children's cyclopedia that my 262 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.720 mom bought from the guy that came knocking on the door, 263 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.600 that you know, maybe fall in love with books. But 264 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.840 has there been a book that has made an impact 265 00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:17.720 on you in relationship to other personal developments or business development? Ronda? 266 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:24.159 Yeah, Well, the book that made an impact on me 267 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:27.720 is The go Giver, The Go Giver by Bob Berg 268 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:33.799 and John David Mann, because it's around it's a fable, 269 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.879 but it's around the principles that really, you know, align 270 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.080 and cultivate. What I have lived all my life is 271 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.879 understanding your value, understanding that it's more than just you, 272 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.559 you make an impact on others. How can you connect 273 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:51.759 and help and make an impact on others that influence 274 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.759 piece of it of being a leader in your role 275 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.559 on your life. And then also just you know, understanding 276 00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:03.360 you know your worth and what you can give and 277 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:06.320 being authentic around that. I'm big around authentic. 278 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:07.759 Awesome. 279 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:14.039 Thank you so much, Rachel, Yeah, so fabulous. Read this 280 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:21.120 book Effortless by Greg McCallan, and it's it's kind of 281 00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:24.559 taking a minimalist approach to how you organize your time 282 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:27.840 and what you put your energy into. And so I 283 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:30.799 just love There's just so many great takeaways from it. 284 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:35.480 But one of it is really kind of reframing, you know, 285 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:38.559 if things are really difficult, things are really challenging, instead 286 00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:41.519 of kind of focusing on that, ask yourself, how can 287 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:43.919 I make this easier? And so he has tons of 288 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.279 little tips like that that are really practical, applicable, and 289 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:51.240 you know, just shift the energy in terms of what's 290 00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:53.840 the art of the possible. So I love it, fabulous 291 00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:55.240 read awesome. 292 00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:56.440 Thank you so much, Carol. 293 00:15:57.679 --> 00:15:59.399 I have three ape and I know you tell me 294 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:03.240 just all only get to share one. Deb is so 295 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:05.639 good and strict with me because I can get excited. 296 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.480 But the thing about it is is actually it's a 297 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.039 book within the Bible and it's the Old Testament and 298 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:16.120 it's of Nehemiah. And I cannot recommend that enough as 299 00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:20.720 leadership and personal change and taking risk and to do 300 00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:24.080 something that's so much bigger than oneself. It's building a 301 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:27.679 rebuilding a people and a gathering of people and then 302 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:30.360 a protection, you know, because once you build something, then 303 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:32.720 it's about how to protect it on the back end. 304 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:37.039 And it's really you know, it's how to do that, 305 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.000 When to reach out, when to pray, when to be quiet, 306 00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:46.879 when to inspire. I cannot recommend that enough. And of 307 00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:49.000 the three, I'm going to go with that as number one. 308 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:52.519 All right, No, it's great, right, And it's interesting what 309 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:55.320 we pull every and we know when we read a 310 00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:57.039 book and then we read a book again. There was 311 00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:59.080 one book that I read ten times and I was like, Okay, 312 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.440 I think I got it. You know, because when you 313 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:05.680 read it at a different time in your life, you 314 00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:09.440 pull different principles. And for yourself, Laura, what is a 315 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:10.880 book that you'd like to share with us today? 316 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.799 Yeah, a book that really inspired me is called Hello 317 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:17.920 Fears by Michelle Poehler. And this book, you know, I 318 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.960 read the book at a time well I was still 319 00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:23.480 in corporate America and it just really I don't think 320 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:25.319 i'd be where I was today had I not read 321 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:28.559 that book, because it just helped me find the courage to, 322 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.920 you know, to do something different, to jump in with 323 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:35.039 two feet and just really face everything. And I recommend 324 00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:40.200 it to everyone, particularly to younger women, you know, teenagers, 325 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:42.680 women in their twenties. It's an amazing book to help 326 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.319 them realize that they can do whatever they want. And 327 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:47.839 it gives amazing tips on how to change your life 328 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:49.839 and how to face things that are holding you back 329 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:50.519 in your fears. 330 00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:53.119 So it's one of my favorites. 331 00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:55.480 It's a great right. I mean, I find words and 332 00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:58.160 paper and I don't know about you, but I love 333 00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:00.880 books like I'm just hitting a stack of I love books. 334 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.400 I love opening, I love underlining. I actually can't lend 335 00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:07.119 my books out because I actually write personal notes on 336 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:09.599 them and I put names. I know what I mean, 337 00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:11.920 Like I don't. I don't write in cognitos that when 338 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:13.839 I'm passing this book to someone else. But there's been 339 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:15.519 books that I've passed the people that I've gone and 340 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:19.319 I've scratched things out. I dog ear I take them 341 00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:21.039 with me. I always. I'm planning to go to New 342 00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:23.920 York next week for a book for our book launch, 343 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.000 two book launches, and I've already put a book, you know, 344 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:29.640 put Kathy Bushnell's book on top so i can read 345 00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.039 it on the plane. Like that's my favorite time to 346 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.880 read is when I travel. But I would have to 347 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:35.640 say one of the books that I love, because you know, 348 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:38.680 we're big top performance people over here as well, and 349 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:42.640 Malcolm Goldwell the Turning Point, you know, it's like when 350 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:45.200 you when you because you know, look at you're not 351 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.400 just coaches, your entrepreneurs, and look at our audience is 352 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:51.960 full of people that are by nature entrepreneurial, but they're 353 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:53.960 sitting on the edge waiting for someone to go and 354 00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:56.079 brush them and you know, push them off the diving 355 00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:00.880 board into the into the pool. And and it's really like, 356 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.799 when you do something long enough, when you work at 357 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.640 something long enough, the tipping point will fall in your favor. 358 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:07.920 Right. 359 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:10.759 And so as someone who has had you know a 360 00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:14.240 little bit of life of endurance. Wait, if you're decided 361 00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:16.799 to be an entrepreneur, is it that things that's what's 362 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:19.799 under your Christmas tree next year? You a little box 363 00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:23.240 of endurance? Oh my goodness. And talking about endurance, let's 364 00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:26.200 talk about something here. So we talked about really mission 365 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.400 accepted people taking the mission. Let's share, like, we can 366 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:32.119 share something that was risky for you, that you felt 367 00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:35.200 risky that coming into this world of being a coach. 368 00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:38.119 But for the most part, unless you're working for a corporation, 369 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:41.440 which I think you're all independent, there's a risk that happened. 370 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:43.920 So can you share with us a moment that you 371 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.559 felt this was risky or this was something that you 372 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:50.079 had to overcome, and Rachel, I'm going to start with you. 373 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.000 Yeah, I feel like it was really kind of stepping 374 00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:02.440 into my own power and using my voice. I was 375 00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:06.759 really comfortable being an employee working behind the scenes making 376 00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:11.799 things happen. But to put yourself out there, right, and 377 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:14.799 to put yourself out there with something you really care 378 00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:17.680 about and really believe in, and to do it in 379 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:20.680 a public way, that's a leap of faith. 380 00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:21.160 Right. 381 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:24.079 And so I'm fairly new in this journey, but I 382 00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:26.240 feel like it's just kind of like a huge leap 383 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:29.640 opening up possibilities. And at the same time, you know, 384 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:32.119 you don't know how people are going to react to you, 385 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:35.680 and you can't control that, right, And so it's getting 386 00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:39.400 really comfortable with saying I have something to say. I'm 387 00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:42.519 going to use my voice. This matters to me, and 388 00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:45.960 the people that you know want or need this message 389 00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:47.200 will find each other. 390 00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:53.440 Right, Okay, Carol, risk, what was the risk that you 391 00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:55.920 needed to do or hey still need to do? Who knows? 392 00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:59.079 Yeah? I think every day I've got tryed to there's 393 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:00.920 usually a risk. Something that's happened. 394 00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:02.000 You know. 395 00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:06.240 It was a risk I decided to after I've been 396 00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:10.200 an entrepreneur for a long time and I decided just 397 00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:13.480 to become a consultant in the businesses I had started before. 398 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:19.759 And it was a risk, you know, sharing, delegating, passing 399 00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:23.240 on that leadership, if you will, and then beginning a 400 00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:28.440 new business in an area that I had not creating 401 00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:32.200
