She Thinks Big with Andrea Liebross

How can you align all aspects of your life with your goals? The answer is simple: by getting confident in your decision-making.  Decision-making is a foundation from which to create growth, eliminate overwhelm, get control of your life, and start doing things that align with your goals. It allows you to create a runway to freedom.  In this episode, I’m giving you five reasons that you don’t make confident decisions and four reasons that you should. This episode will show you how you are over-complicating your life by putting off making decisions. Once you stop doing that, you’ll have more time, confidence, and energy to create the life you want. If you find yourself constantly putting off making decisions, this episode is for you.  Get access to all my free downloads and productivity tips HERE I would love to connect on Facebook or Instagram Show notes available at www.andrealiebross.com/podcast60

How do you create growth in your business without hustling even more than you already are? When my client and guest in this episode, Whitney Vredenburgh and I first met, she was feeling pretty overwhelmed in her business and at home. Over the past eight months, we created a new operating system for her business and created a new operating system for her home as well. Whitney is a mom, wife, and owner of Nested Spaces. She has four kids-Ainsley (9), James (7), Isabelle, and Edward (both 4). Whitney began her career in agriculture and held various roles in marketing, communications, sales, and customer service for 9 years before starting Nested Spaces. After moving to Indianapolis in 2014, Whitney began exploring opportunities outside of the corporate world and had always been intrigued by home staging. Nested Spaces is a home staging and design business based in Indianapolis which began in 2016. It serves the greater Indianapolis area providing home staging services and design services to realtors, builders, and homeowners. Nested Spaces has staged more than four hundred homes. The warehouse is located in Park 100 on the northwest side of Indy. By focusing on one thing at a time and getting a grip on the data in her business, Whitney was able to create more margin in her business and life and see great results, so we are talking about how she did all of this and how her mindset has shifted over time. Listen in closely to this episode with Whitney and think about the elements that we have dissected together over the past eight months and then ask yourself if this is something in your business that is worth taking a look at too. Resources Mentioned: www.andrealiebross.com/freedomwww.nestedspaces.comwww.facebook.com/nestedspaceswww.linkedin.com/in/whitneysparksvredenburghwww.instagram.com/nestedspaces Get access to all my free downloads and productivity tips HERE I would love to connect on Facebook or Instagram Show notes available at www.andrealiebross.com/podcast59

What do you need to do to get a grip on your business and level it up? Oftentimes, when we come to the end of a season, we take some time to pause and reflect on what’s working, what’s not working, and what needs to be done differently. I like to call this “getting a grip.” I wanted to make this episode to talk about some of the things that female business owners need to get a grip on in order to get to the next level. There are six key components that every healthy business needs and five things that keep us from implementing them. I’m sharing all of them in this episode so that you can figure out which ones you’ve mastered and which ones you need to work on.  This episode will also help you assess whether you have all the tools in your toolbox that you need in order to show up as your best self! If you feel like there’s confusion amongst your team, time is being wasted, or goals aren’t being met, this episode is for you.  Resources Mentioned:Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business by Gino Wickman Get access to all my free downloads and productivity tips HERE I would love to connect on Facebook or Instagram Show notes available at www.andrealiebross.com/podcast58

In 2008, Ciara chose to merge her two concepts into MODE and developed the concept into a franchise.
