Made for More with Amanda Kolbye

I am the first one to admit I over complicate almost everything in my life down to small details surrounding my day to day. So why do we over complicate things and why do we try to justify those complications instead of working on our thought patterns and well being? Well, in this episode we jump in to fine print questions, solutions, and everything in between! We can give ourselves a million excuses of why we do and think the way we do, but the simplest answer is we have to STOP making excuses and start actually doing the hard tasks of working on simplifying the simple details in our life.  In this episode, we cover… Action steps to take to simplify your life A few ways we over think small things Calming the chaos Working through stress and why your body could use a break What to do and how to manage the complicated tasks   “Society has trained us to over complicate things by essentially working longer hours or always doing the most.”  “If there is a simple solution, it may not turn out or have all the factors the exact way that we want it.” “If you grew up in a chaotic environment for many many years, there’s a chance that your nervous system may feel more comfortable in that chaotic environment.”   Thanks for listening, and if you like what you've heard, feel free to share this episode with your friends!

We like to think it’s us against the world and we have to tackle the hardest parts of owning a business all alone, but that is simply not true. While working almost all day, making no money and trying to figure it out all by myself was my strategy (which I am not recommending) there are so many resources now to utilize and take full advantage of that can truly help you. I will be the first to say that owning a business is not for everyone, but if you have the drive and passion to make it through those tough points in your first couple years, there is magic waiting for you on the other side. Our Favorite Quotes “I was just lost, trying to do everything under the sun.” “I was working 10-12 hour days, and I didn’t even have a business. Half that time was spent researching stuff because I wanted to know it all and this is definitely one of my worst mistakes.”  “Something that I would do if I was starting over is make sure I had at least one offer even if that was my only offer that was over $1,000.”  "I had built a personal brand, where I showed up every single day before I even made a single dollar."   Thanks for listening, and if you like what you've heard, I would greatly appreciate you sharing this episode with your friends or on your Instagram stories (and tag @laptop.lifestyle.co)!

We often tell ourselves we really want something but our actions say otherwise in that we are likely not truly prioritizing the actions needed to change. So they hard question becomes not just "how bad do you really want this?" but "how bad do you really want this in regards to what you will have to trade or sacrifice to prioritize and achieve that thing?" Lastly, we provide a new way to think about risk, because most people only think about risk from one side. Our Favorite Quotes "I think a lot of us get stuck at wanting to see the top of the staircase, before we've ever taken the first or second step." "That bold, messy, uncomfottable action is going to help you get the data and data is really the way you're going to be able to make those decisions one at a time without trying to make ten decisions and map out your whole 5 year plan at one time."  Thanks for listening, and if you like what you've heard, I would greatly appreciate you sharing this episode with your friends or on your Instagram stories (and tag @laptop.lifestyle.co)!

I never really fit the mold of a " 7- figure business owner" or "successful coach." So since starting my business, I've gone through some massive identity crises. I think this very much comes with being an entrepreneur over time. You're evolving, changing, and growing.    This episode is about making more interesting millionaires and challenging your vision of success in the way that you are attempting to portray it.   In this episode, we cover… Owning and accepting your truth How to embody your own version of success Classic Millionaire statuses  A different viewpoint of what success is How are you showing up to perform?   "So we say the right things, but behind closed doors, and maybe even subconsciously, we're not accepting and internalizing and owning the fuck out of this different version of success. We still want to fit in in some way. And that can cause a lot of inner turmoil that sometimes we recognize is going on, and sometimes we don't even realize consciously."   "A lot of entrepreneurs are chasing after authority market markers chasing after the money or chasing after more of the illusion of success and feeling success for yourself every day we are performing, and thus that is why many people are still not happy because you're not accepting and owning your truth,"   "Money only amplifies what already exists."   Thanks for listening, and if you like what you've heard, feel free to share this episode with your friends!
