Espresso-like jolt of motivation

Sometimes you just need a little gut punch to keep moving towards your dreams, and Lori gives you that and more. The way she hones in on a specific topic and delivers massive value in under 20 minutes continues to blow me away. The combination of inspiration and empathy is why I keep coming back. Highly recommend!

 

This year, we built what we knew we were going to need as a couple. Both of us are diving into new businesses, and we knew that if we didn’t make ourselves a priority, we would end up on the backburner. So we set up a couples’ mastermind where we went on dream date trips and we started tracking what matters most to us. Those simple things have made such a difference in keeping our relationship on the forefront, and that most recent trip completely shifted our energy.

If you need to make sure you’re setting time to do the things that are most important to you, but don’t feel urgent, you need to take these two points to heart:

• Even if it’s not convenient, schedule time for the interruptions you know are good for you so that you show up.
• You have to regularly change up your energy or you are going to burn out.

As counterintuitive as it may seem, there are times when stepping away from your business or your work is the best thing you can do for your productivity and inspiration. You need to be changing up your energy to inspire you to do things at a new level. Switching things up doesn’t always feel good at first – in fact, it can feel very uncomfortable. But doing so opens up space for new opportunities.

Routines are powerful, but they can also get you stuck. You have to remind yourself why you are doing what you do, what you are working towards, and what levels there are ahead. 

Bridgette Boucha is someone near and dear to me. She helps me grow and expand my business in all the right ways. As part of my CFO, she helps me dial in my goals, manage my money, and grow both the vision of my company and me as a person behind it. I don’t know what I would do without her and her incredible team, and after hearing this interview, you’ll wonder how you ever survived without her too.

 

Question Highlights:

• What did you do before helping entrepreneurs and at what point did you pivot?
• What were the themes you saw people struggling with?
• How do you make sure your business isn’t dependent on your constant input?
• Who are the ideal people you like to work with?
• How do you make it feel like your clients can ask you any question?
• What’s a good indicator that you could use some help?
