Are you sick of feeling like the boss in your business when you’d rather just be the leader or the visionary?

In this episode, we’re going behind the scenes with my Director of Operations, otherwise known as our Integrator, Monica Foster.

When I reflect back on how my career started as a business owner, three feelings stand out to me.

I felt stuck, alone, and out of control.

If you believe FAIL stands for First Attempt In Learning, then you have something in common with today’s guest.

Every business owner dreams of having a world-class team.

But you can make that a reality no matter where you are at this point in your business – whether you’re a mom-and-pop shop, an online entrepreneur, or a large organization.

At the end of the day, it’s your leadership that will determine how your team will perform for you.

We all desire momentum in our business. We want traction toward our goals.

But momentum and direction are not enough.

The challenge is being able to stay on course and to redirect when you’ve lost your footing.

Building a business on your own terms is easier said than done.

Today, I’m tackling this idea of building your business on your own terms, not what the guru says you should want and how to trust your vision for the future.

Where are you in your life right now?

Are you sure you’re right where you belong? Or is it just the place you’re used to?

Because sometimes the place you’re used to – is not the place you belong.

As business leaders, we all desire a world-class tight-knit organization and we dream of having a team we can trust, don’t we all?

But what makes great leaders truly exceptional is having the ability to ask questions that will build trust and reveal how their people are really doing and what’s required of them as a leader.

Whether you’re new in your business or a seasoned entrepreneur, we all hit different upper limits.

The faster you can break through them and create new habits, new thoughts, and new beliefs on the other side, the faster you can create that momentum.

However, the biggest disconnect among struggling entrepreneurs is that they don’t understand how mindset impacts their revenue and their profit.

Who you think you are – is NOT really who you are.

Each day, we wear so many different hats, as a mother/father, entrepreneur, writer, brother/sister, teacher, friend, whatever that looks like for you.

We have all these roles that we have to play, and on top of that, we’re constantly inundated with job responsibilities, errands, tasks, and social media stuff.

Are there days when you think your team is constantly letting you down or that nobody can get things right?

Then, have you ever thought that the problem could actually be not your team – but you?

In today’s episode, I’m going to share with you these 5 burning questions to help you along this journey of transformation.

Have you ever dreamed of being up on stage to deliver a message but you don’t actually know where to start?
