Ep 106: Let’s get FOCUSED

You ever wonder what success actually means?

How do you get it?

And how do you keep it?

We all want it yet sometimes it feels only some of us get to have it.

Can you put it in a box?

How can you get it?

Can people take it away? Or are you the one with the power?

Does it mean the same to all of us? Or are we the ones that create it?

From PGA golf pros to doctors, CEOs, entrepreneurs and spiritual mentors, we get together to meet with successful people from around the globe to dissect success for vibrant conversations and interviews.

How did we get here? Here? Yeah, how did we do it? I don't know.

I mean, I cook like chain, but I don't cook my business like that. i Oh, like you like as much as I am. Love to express my creativity Freedy make pivots in my plan. Even sometimes I really I'm with you one fucking 1,000% Like, if I deviate from the plan, shit doesn't work. And I was even thinking about that. Like, again, like I still think about that a lot. Like just for everyone like just putting this out there as somebody who's a strategist like I strategize. This is my number one strength. I'm a strategist, I come up with strategies, I come up with plans, and I make shit happen. I'm the kind of person that people call like, this is how I've built like, before, I was a business coach, before I was a strategist and helping entrepreneurs build their businesses, I ran a boutique hotel, and I scaled it from seven to eight figures. And within the community, I had a bit of a reputation. And I developed a reputation that if shit goes sideways, and it's in shambles, and you need a plan to pull people out call Teresa. Which was big. So it's

still like that. But

still like that, but I have a little aversion to like, you know, I'm like, I kind of like you know, I'm kind of at the stage now where I'm really feeling called to say, hey, you've hit a certain level in your business and it's not terrible, okay, it's not terrible. Like you've made it to that point, you're making multiple multiple five figures like high five figures in your business already and you're ready for the six figures, you're ready for multiple six figures and or more. And you want somebody to help you come up with a plan that allows you not only be successful, but have the freedom to play have the time and that also is why a plan is so important because play you and I know that when we don't have plans and we flow and we deviate from the plan, things take longer, they take more effort, it's more fucking frustrating. And that means less money, more stress, more hustle, like we fall back into our like hustle selves because both you and I are like recovering hustlers.

I'm a recovering hustler. Hi, my name is Blair, and I'm a hustler. Recovering hustler. I live with hustle itis hustle like we are we want to live in a place of ease and comfort and following the plan and like not having stress. We want to be in a place of living in a proactive state, not a reactive state. We've done that. But our nervous systems need a break. And we've done a lot of learning the hard way. I know my business is about 15 years old, and I learned a lot of shit the hard way so my clients don't have to. And you don't have to do things the hard way. Like there is an easy button. It's a lot it's still work, but there is an easy button in business. And you can press it.

Yeah, and we're gonna help you press it because we're bringing velocity back. And velocity is freaking epic. And I just remember when we did velocity last time, which is actually more than eight years since we've hosted this free, three hour free free that's hard for me to say it's free. Last favorite word free. You don't have to pay three hour workshop work plan I actually support you to build a strategy A way of magnitude and direction so that you can create momentum in your business so that you can stay focused so that you know when to take the right turn, instead of going 10 blocks around the corner and back five times, and then back to where you started and then take a right, we are going to help you and support you and get you on track to know how to stay focused. Because you can have a plan on how you're going to do it.

because of bed less and less hassle, less hustle and less hustle.

And you know, I feel like one thing I want to share as we're wrapping this up is that this is a mulligan recording. Yep, this is a mulligan recording. And this is a really great example of why focus is so important. Yesterday, we were supposed to record this. I was sitting at the beach. And like my doing my thing at the beach swimming and just like having some beach time and I get a message from Blair and she's like, Oh, we're still recording and I was like shit, like it's not in my calendar somehow. Even though blasts send me an invite it didn't make in my calendar. So I was like, Oh, it's fine. It's fine. We'll do it. We'll do it like Omega whack I felt horrible for like really wasting her time. I really don't like that and I know Blair is like a very forgiving human and you know, we we hold space for each other for situations like that, but it's not like need to miss a meeting. And so anyways, I got myself back here and I wasn't focused and we recorded the episode and I was just I was like, I was not feeling it. I was not in a mood. felt like just an episode to record an episode. And then we were chatting later that they trying to figure out when we can redo this episode, or should we be doing it and even questioning whether we should be launching, velocity and momentum. And so anyways, we came full circle and I said to play, I was like, no, like, I want to go ahead and do it, I just like, let's just record it tomorrow. It's just, it just didn't feel like we were focused. And it didn't feel like the conversation was going anywhere. And I don't like doing things just for the sake of doing things. And that right there I think ties into what we were talking about. Because don't just go through the motions to do the motions. When you have a plan, there is an intention behind why you're doing the thing that you're doing. There is focus to what you're doing, right. Like, it's like we're having this podcast, and we're over 100 episodes and and a couple of people now have said, Wow, you made it over 100 episodes, most podcasts finish at like seven episodes. But then I can see it because it's easy to lose focus. It's easy to to say I'm going to have this podcast, and we're going to talk about success, right? But like long term sustainable success comes from focus, you want to do anything successfully. Focus, why did you start it in the first place, and we didn't start this podcast just to have conversations, for the sake of having conversations, we started to make a point around your success. And I'm really happy that we recorded it because honestly, it just this is wait just wasn't the right. And this is way better. And it I feel like it also gave us something to respond to, that is so relevant to what we'll be teaching you and what we'll be doing. So with that being said, come join us. It's happening tomorrow,
