She Thinks Big with Andrea Liebross

Can I share a little piece of my life with you?  I want to walk you through a morning of my life that was particularly meaningful: my daughter’s last first day of school.  So in this episode, I am getting a little sentimental because I want to show you how I work through my emotions to figure out where they’re coming from and what they mean. I also am getting into why doing this kind of work with your emotions is so meaningful.  For me, this was a reminder that part of the human experience is having 50% positive emotions and 50% negative emotions. That’s super important and we are touching on it more in this episode.  Join me as I reflect on my daughter’s last first day of school and the emotions that it brought up for me, both positive and negative.  Resources Mentioned: Rebecca Rose First Day of School Photos Grades 1-12 Follow @_URSPARK on Instagram  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/podcast40

Do you feel like you have to figure things out yourself instead of asking for help? I want to challenge that mindset, and so does my guest in this episode.  I am chatting with Cherie Bosarge-Dutton, and she is talking about the different seasons of life that she has gone through and the work she has done to figure out what she really wants.  Former reporter, graphic designer, attorney, and professional stylist, now an activist and author, Cherie lives in Weston, Florida, with her partner of 25 years and their two teenagers. It may seem like a strange leap to go from communications to law to fashion to writing women’s fiction, but each of these moves represents personal growth, career evolution, and a search for passion and purpose (and all of them provide fodder for her fiction). Cherie publishes under a pseudonym to protect her privacy but is happy to gush about books and other writers any time. She reads a book a day, loves the beach at sunset, and hopes to visit as many countries as possible in her lifetime. She’s currently at twenty-five. Whether you’re on your own journey of self-discovery or not, you’re going to love hearing about Cherie’s journey and how it improved once she asked for help! Resources Mentioned: Connect with Cherie Bosarge-Dutton on LinkedIn www.andrealiebross.com/consult 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/podcast39

When someone says they want to be more productive, more efficient, or they want to start or grow something, the question I ask them is “what's your vision?” Maybe you have an answer to that question, or maybe it’s a little fuzzy. Sometimes we think we have a vision, but when we’re asked to put it into words, it’s hard to pin down.  In this episode, I am sharing why your vision is the secret sauce to all that you do.  Listen in to these four steps that I have about finding your vision and also about what this work looks like when we do it on a Deep Dive VIP Day.  If you want to live as the best version of yourself, it’s time to get clear on your vision.  It always comes back to this, so tune in to find out how.  Resources Mentioned: www.andrealiebross.com/consult 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/podcast38

Are you wondering what happened to that goal you had of exercising every day before the summer?  There’s a reason gym enrollments go up in January and then again in May when everyone realizes summer is coming up: motivation kicks in… but over time, your visits to the gym slow down. Before long, you’re back to saying, “oh my gosh, why can’t I find time to work out?” Does this sound familiar? Maybe you feel like it’s because you’re busy, tired, distracted by your kids, or all of the above, but the real reason is that you don’t commit to exercising.  If you truly want to be stronger, fitter, or healthier, you’ve got to stay committed.  I know sometimes that seems impossible, so today I’m joined by my personal trainer, Vanessa Gregor, to talk about how to stay committed to your fitness.  Vanessa Gregor, also known as Nez, is the owner of Studio Fit’nez. She hires independent personal trainers that make Studio Fit’nez what it is: a private personal training studio in the heart of Fishers that goes above and beyond when it comes to helping people live healthy, pain-free, and fit lives. Vanessa enriches her clients’ lives through the teachings of proper form and technique, overcoming weaknesses, and finding joy in the process.  If you’re trying to find time for fitness in your life, listen to this episode because Vanessa is going to help you finally commit to your workouts! Resources Mentioned: www.studiofitnez.com Follow @studiofitnez on Instagram Follow studio fit'nez on Facebook www.andrealiebross.com/consult 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/podcast37

If someone asked you to share your vision, would you be able to? Have you mapped out a plan for growth, or is decision fatigue keeping your vision creation on the back burner?As a coach, I cannot emphasize enough to my clients how important it is to have a vision. Many people consider taking the time to brainstorm and create a vision as something optional or something that would be nice to have one day.I’m here to tell you that is not the case. Having a vision is a need. It is not a want. It’s a way to reduce the background noise, stay on track, and sharpen your focus.In this episode, I’m talking about the four benefits of having a vision and how to avoid a “paint by number” scenario in your business. Now is the time for you to level up your game by figuring out the right vision for your future, so tune in for some help. Resources Mentioned: www.andrealiebross.com/consult 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/podcast36

What do you have time for? Do you think about this often? If not, I want you to ask yourself this question while you listen to this episode. It might seem like a simple question, but I think it will really challenge some of the stories that your brain tells you about time. It did for me! We are diving into time scarcity and time management, and I am sharing a tool that I have in my toolbox that helps me focus on what I really use my time for. I know that it will really benefit you. There are also six specific questions that I want you to answer to get to the bottom of your feelings about time, so we are going over those too. If you’re someone who identifies as always being too busy and you feel like there’s never enough time, this is going to be helpful for you.  Resources Mentioned: www.andrealiebross.com/howtofindtimewww.nataliebacon.comwww.andrealiebross.com/challenge  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/podcast34

Have you ever wondered what you should be delegating or who you should be delegating to? Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a virtual assistant and an online business manager?  Well, you’re going to find out in this episode. You’re also going to find out what you could take out of your business and outsource to someone else so that you can focus on the reason you started a business in the first place.  We’re going to hear from my very own amazing online business manager, Lynda Carlini. She is sharing what it is like to do what she does, who she helps, and why people need her.  Lynda is a certified online business manager and systems strategist. She loves working with her clients to eliminate the overwhelm and get back to loving their businesses by streamlining their business systems and processes. Lynda was a stay-at-home mom to 3 kids under the age of 5 and the right hand to her husband in his business. When her kids were in elementary school, she worked there too, but as they left, she began working as a VA to online entrepreneurs. This quickly transformed into more as she began implementing the systems and processes in her clients’ businesses that they needed to help their days run more smoothly. She knew that she had finally found what she was meant to do.  Her mission is to create more time for other business owners so that they can enjoy making memories and growing their revenue at the same time. In her free time, Lynda will usually be found with her family on the lake, a beach, or in the pasture with their horses and cattle! You’re going to love what Lynda has to share about the benefits of having an OBM, so don’t miss this episode. Resources Mentioned: www.aquabluevirtualservices.com Follow @aquabluevirtualservices on Instagram Connect with @aquabluevirtualservices on Facebook 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/podcast33

Do you downplay your accomplishments? Do you know how to really feel proud of yourself? This is something that I have been thinking about a lot because as a coach and a teacher, I always want to encourage you to feel proud of yourself and feel empowered. The problem is that we tend to connect more over our problems than our successes as a society. Something I've noticed in my own life is that not everyone likes it when you're proud of yourself or celebrating yourself. Maybe a little jealousy creeps in or they feel like you didn’t earn it, but that’s just not true.  You did earn it! You deserve to celebrate and pat yourself on the back! In this episode, I am giving you some advice because I want to help you navigate this a little bit more deliberately. This will help you intentionally celebrate your accomplishments whether they are big or small. If you want to learn how to feel proud of yourself without feeling any guilt, tune in to this episode.  Resources Mentioned: Episode 30: What Are You Worth?

Do you wake up feeling unfocused, unsure what to work on first or what direction to take your business in? My client, Lara Williams, is joining me in this episode to talk about how we’ve created what I love to call a Runway to Freedom to clear all of those up. A Runway to Freedom could mean a lot of different things to different organizations, but in this case, it meant creating an operating system to help bring back excitement, energy, accountability, and growth in Lara’s business. Lara is talking about what the business looked like before, what the struggles were, and what areas we worked on. You’ll hear how we reorganized meetings, positions, hiring processes, and more to create a business structure that could handle growth.  Lara Williams, InteCare Chief Operating Officer, has 20 years of experience working in community mental health developing programs and training that focus on recovery and a person-centered approach. Since her start at InteCare in 2010, she has helped to establish the CARF-accredited Supportive Services for Veteran Families program and developed and supervised a 2nd Chance Re-entry Grant in collaboration with the Indiana Department of Correction. Lara was key in establishing Allies of Indiana, a peer-run organization with a focus on bringing innovative peer-run initiatives to Indiana, and has served as their Executive Director for 9 years. During her tenure, she has helped the organization to become a national leader in Emotional CPR (eCPR) training, receiving multi-year grants from the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction to provide eCPR training across Indiana, assisting with the development of eCPR Canada and the development of a Youth eCPR model. If you want to learn how creating a Runway to Freedom can benefit you and your business, tune in.  Resources Mentioned: www.intecare.org www.andrealiebross.com/challengeTraction by Gino Wickman Death by Meeting by Patrick M.
