“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.”— John F. Kennedy #Entrepreneurs know that things can change unexpectedly and turn things upside down and yet find ourselves constantly caught off-guard by anything that forces us to make changes. Sometimes the changes lead to more challenges, sometimes, they lead to better opportunities- that's why being flexible and agile is so important as an entrepreneur. As we start this new year, let us be open to accepting and expecting things will change and be mentally prepared to face any changes head on.  #podcast #entrepreneurs #business #work #hustle #success #sparkideasgroup #nicoletteonideas —————————————————— Want help developing a business model around your great idea, check out my free Udemy course on Beginner's Business Modeling, use this link https://bit.ly/3A0yjj5 Want to ask me to tackle certain questions you have?

Do not speak low of yourself. For the warrior within you hears your words and is lessened by them. Japanese Proverb As we start a new year as #entrepreneurs, let us learn to say positive things when it comes to our own personal self-talk, so that as we encounter new opportunities and challenges this year that we will face them with self-belief. Too many times we get used to negative self-talk and it affects how we view ourselves and plays a role in discouraging us from taking the steps we need to growing our businesses.  #podcast #entrepreneurs #business #work #hustle #success —————————————————— Want help developing a business model around your great idea, check out my free Udemy course on Beginner's Business Modeling, use this link https://bit.ly/3A0yjj5 Want to ask me to tackle certain questions you have?

“Every small positive change we make in ourselves repays us in confidence in the future.”— Alice Walker As we are ending the year and hopefully taking a much needed break from work, let's take time to look back on all the times during this past year that we actually made progress. Even if the progress was small, it still mattered and it still made a difference. So often we get caught up in looking at the ways in which we failed to meet our targets, but there is an opportunity to also note when we reached a goal, even if it took slow and steady steps. Don't beat on yourself for the things you didn't accomplish, end the year on a good note buy reflecting on your wins.  #podcast #entrepreneurs #business #work —————————————————— Want help developing a business model around your great idea, check out my free Udemy course on Beginner's Business Modeling, use this link https://bit.ly/3A0yjj5 Want to ask me to tackle certain questions you have?

“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”— Martin Luther King Jr. As an #Entrepreneur the one thing you must keep doing is showing up each and every single day to grow your businesses. We do it by laying one brick at a time, sometimes we manage to do things quickly and efficiently with motivation. Sometimes we find ourselves struggling to do simple things, what's important is that we keep showing up, no matter how we feel and do what we can. Even work that is done on our worst days, work that we feel doesn't amount to much, makes a difference.  #podcast #entrepreneurs #business #work —————————————————— Want help developing a business model around your great idea, check out my free Udemy course on Beginner's Business Modeling, use this link https://bit.ly/3A0yjj5 Want to ask me to tackle certain questions you have?

“Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience and being persistent.”— Billy Graham  Running a business is a journey and sometimes the journey gets rough, sometimes it's pleasant and other times we want to turn back BUT this is part of how life works. As #Entrepreneurs we need to focus on the fact that no situation stays horrible for ever and at the same time we can't stay on one mountain peak for too long, after getting to the top of one mountain and celebrating the goal, we have to start moving towards the next goal and sometimes that might mean that we fall down into valleys... it's part of the process. Let's learn to accept it and deal with it, so that we can continue our journey.   #podcast #entrepreneurs #business #startup —————————————————— Want help developing a business model around your great idea, check out my free Udemy course on Beginner's Business Modeling, use this link https://bit.ly/3A0yjj5 Want to ask me to tackle certain questions you have?

“Part of courage is simple consistency.”— Peggy Noonan When was the last time you thought about how courageous you have been as an #Entrepreneur? Yes, you've been courageous, after all this time you have kept showing up and doing what needs to be done, sometimes you've even done it when you haven't been able to see the finish the line. Give yourself credit for pushing through all your obstacles to get this far. Give yourself credit for believing in your dreams enough to work on them day after day, even on dark days.  #podcast #startup #business  —————————————————— Want help developing a business model around your great idea, check out my free Udemy course on Beginner's Business Modeling, use this link https://bit.ly/3A0yjj5 Want to ask me to tackle certain questions you have?

As #entrepreneurs we are always on the hunt for greater levels of productivity and efficiency, however when we find ourselves at the beck and call of people around us, we can find our routines, patterns and activities being interrupted. + All this chaos happens just because we do now know how to say NO. + And the worst part is that often times, people who we always run to rescue will start feeling like we are selfish when we start focusing on ourselves. + Let them all you selfish, you are trying to build a business that can stand on its own, and that means you have to say "no" to others so that you can say "yes" to yourself. + “Sometimes you just need to be selfish to be self-sufficient.”— Lois P. Frankel 🎙 Listen to Full Podcast Episode : 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3sDhTrw 🎧 Apple Podcasts : https://apple.co/3MYmtsU 🎧 Amazon Music : https://amzn.to/3Qkh1Cg 🎧 Google Podcasts : https://bit.ly/NicoletteGooglePod 🎧 Anchor.fm : anchor.fm/nicoletteonideas
So often #entrepreneurs find themselves drowning in taking care of the needs of the people around them, so much so, that they fail to bring their own lives in order.  One of the temptations we can sometimes have is to go around being "Captain Save A Hoe" and I think we can all identify people who constantly lean on us, or need us to constantly troubleshoot their lives.  But we do have problems of our own and we need to take the time to concentrate on making our own lives better. “Our lives are so busy, and for many of us the demands are overwhelming. Some of us focus so much on the needs of others, we lose sight of ourselves. Stop, for one moment. Take a deep breath. Be still. Refocus. Concentrate on improving your life. One situation at a time.”— Carlos Wallace 🎙 Listen to Full Podcast Episode : 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3sDhTrw 🎧 Apple Podcasts : https://apple.co/3MYmtsU 🎧 Amazon Music : https://amzn.to/3Qkh1Cg 🎧 Google Podcasts : https://bit.ly/NicoletteGooglePod 🎧 Anchor.fm : anchor.fm/nicoletteonideas —————————————————— Want help developing a business model around your great idea, check out my free Udemy course on Beginner's Business Modeling, use this link https://bit.ly/3A0yjj5 Want to ask me to tackle certain questions you have?

“Carve out and claim the time to care for yourself and kindle your own fire.”— Amy Ippoliti As #entrepreneurs WE HAVE TO make time on purpose to practice self-care, because to be honest it won't often happen spontaneously, sometimes we find minutes turning in hours and then into days and then into weeks and months... before we know it, we have been in an endless sprint to keep up with the challenges of running a business, and we typically only realize it when our bodies and minds quit on us. It doesn't need to get that bad, make the time to care for yourself, like you would do for any machinery your business owns. 🎙 Listen to Full Podcast Episode : 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3sDhTrw 🎧 Apple Podcasts : https://apple.co/3MYmtsU 🎧 Amazon Music : https://amzn.to/3Qkh1Cg 🎧 Google Podcasts : https://bit.ly/NicoletteGooglePod 🎧 Anchor.fm : anchor.fm/nicoletteonideas —————————————————— Want help developing a business model around your great idea, check out my free Udemy course on Beginner's Business Modeling, use this link https://bit.ly/3A0yjj5 Want to ask me to tackle certain questions you have?

“You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.”— Michael Jordan If we want to be great, we need to start believing that we are capable to doing great things.  If, as #Entrepreneurs we are not trying to build products, services or experiences that are great, then what are we even going through all of this for?  Sometimes it can  be hard to believe in yourself, maybe you were told that you would never succeed in life...  That can be rough, BUT it is always going to be your responsibility to require yourself to show up in bigger and better ways in your business. 🎙 Listen to Full Podcast Episode : 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3sDhTrw 🎧 Apple Podcasts : https://apple.co/3MYmtsU 🎧 Amazon Music : https://amzn.to/3Qkh1Cg 🎧 Google Podcasts : https://bit.ly/NicoletteGooglePod 🎧 Anchor.fm : anchor.fm/nicoletteonideas —————————————————— Want help developing a business model around your great idea, check out my free Udemy course on Beginner's Business Modeling, use this link https://bit.ly/3A0yjj5 Want to ask me to tackle certain questions you have?

“Self-care equals success. You’re going to be more successful if you take care of yourself and you’re healthy.”— Beth Behrs Many times as #entrepreneurs we forget that our "meat suit" is the most the valuable asset that we have in our businesses.  We get so overtaken trying to keep up with our goals and ambitions that we wear ourselves down to the bone.  There is nothing glorious about working yourself into a burn out, so make sure that you make time for self-care in your lifestyle, it is one of the vital parts of developing a successful business. 🎙 Listen to Full Podcast Episode : 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3sDhTrw 🎧 Apple Podcasts : https://apple.co/3MYmtsU 🎧 Amazon Music : https://amzn.to/3Qkh1Cg 🎧 Google Podcasts : https://bit.ly/NicoletteGooglePod 🎧 Anchor.fm : anchor.fm/nicoletteonideas —————————————————— Want help developing a business model around your great idea, check out my free Udemy course on Beginner's Business Modeling, use this link https://bit.ly/3A0yjj5 Want to ask me to tackle certain questions you have?

Sometimes we spend way too much time walking on egg shells and trying to be accepted by other people, but the honest hard truth is that there are some people who will NEVER ACCEPT you or like you, or agree with you.  When we live lives that are meant to be considerate of others feelings beyond our own, we eventually find ourselves losing our meaning and authenticity. Specialize in being yourself, whether or not it offends people. “If you want to live an authentic, meaningful life, you need to master the art of disappointing and upsetting others, hurting feelings, and living with the reality that some people just won’t like you. It may not be easy, but it’s essential if you want your life to reflect your deepest desires, values, and needs.”— Cheryl Richardson 🎙 Listen to Full Podcast Episode : 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3sDhTrw 🎧 Apple Podcasts : https://apple.co/3MYmtsU 🎧 Amazon Music : https://amzn.to/3Qkh1Cg 🎧 Google Podcasts : https://bit.ly/NicoletteGooglePod 🎧 Anchor.fm : anchor.fm/nicoletteonideas —————————————————— Want help developing a business model around your great idea, check out my free Udemy course on Beginner's Business Modeling, use this link https://bit.ly/3A0yjj5 Want to ask me to tackle certain questions you have?

Sometimes as #entrepreneurs we feel like we can't possibly deal with what can seem to be insurmountable odds, and before we even give ourselves a chance to think about the challenges we are facing, we start losing heart and telling ourselves that we don't have what it takes to beat our situation. Sometimes our negative self talk as entrepreneurs is a habit, or maybe something other people taught us, but we need to make the effort to start telling ourselves- that we have what it takes to face anything. At the end of the day, if you don't believe in yourself, how will you get others to believe in you? “If you’re facing a problem, don’t tell yourself that you can’t do it. Convince yourself that you have the strength to deal with almost anything because of the way you were raised. ”— Ruth K.

No one is coming to save you. As an #Entrepreneur running, a startup, you have to lead yourself through all of the various challenges that you will encounter.  You are the leader, you will have to learn to accept the responsibility of changing your own life and taking control of your dreams.  The sooner you accept this, the sooner you can start developing the ability to stand on your own two feet.  “Only I can change my life.

So many times as #entrepreneurs, we allow our businesses to suck all the air out of the our life. We forget about our hobbies and the things that we enjoy, outside of our own business. + It's important for us to find balance so that we can grow in other ares of our lives and not just in our businesses. + Take the time over the weekend to rediscover things that you loved to do before you started your business. “When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and brings joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life.”— Jean Shinoda Bolen + 🎙 Listen to Full Podcast Episode : 🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3sDhTrw 🎧 Apple Podcasts : https://apple.co/3MYmtsU 🎧 Amazon Music : https://amzn.to/3Qkh1Cg 🎧 Google Podcasts : https://bit.ly/NicoletteGooglePod 🎧 Anchor.fm : anchor.fm/nicoletteonideas #podcast #entrepreneurs #business #work #hustle #success #sparkideasgroup #nicoletteonideas
As an #Entrepreneur you feel like you barely have time to get anything done, so why would you then waste time trying to change opinions that people have about you? It is so easy to have an opinion, that's why so many people have them- many of the opinions are not informed or helpful, so why would you waste time trying to change them? Surely you have other things to do with your life? Get comfortable with the idea that some people will always have something negative to think or say about you and continue to live your life and focus on things that matter. As Tina Fey says “Don’t waste your energy trying to change opinions … Do your thing, and don’t care if they like it.” #podcast #entrepreneurs #business #work #hustle #success #sparkideasgroup #nicoletteonideas —————————————————— Want help developing a business model around your great idea, check out my free Udemy course on Beginner's Business Modeling, use this link https://bit.ly/3A0yjj5 Want to ask me to tackle certain questions you have?

As #Entrepreneurs we need to learn, that while our desire to change the world is great… any change needs to start from within ourselves. If we focus on serving the whole wide world, we can often get overwhelmed by the magnitude of what it is that we are trying to accomplish. Any change you want to make on a large scale needs to be implemented on an individual level first. So take the time to figure out what changes you need to create within your own life, so that you can create the capacity to change the world. As the quote by Rumi says “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” —————————————————— Want help developing a business model around your great idea, check out my free Udemy course on Beginner's Business Modeling, use this link https://bit.ly/3A0yjj5 Want to ask me to tackle certain questions you have?

#Entrepreneurs often try to walk, talk and act like their heroes, so much so that sometimes they forget to just be themselves. In trying to be someone else, we never learn to master themselves as individuals. They never learn what their true greatness is or what their true weaknesses are. It's so easy to put on a mask and act like someone else, but at the end of the day, the only consistent thing we will be is ourselves, whether we acknowledge it or not. Put in the real work of working on yourself and being yourself. As Anna Quindlen says “The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.” —————————————————— Want help developing a business model around your great idea, check out my free Udemy course on Beginner's Business Modeling, use this link https://bit.ly/3A0yjj5 Want to ask me to tackle certain questions you have?

As an #entrepreneur you may not always feel like you're the right person to make decisions for your business. You might be tempted to let others make the decisions because you lack confidence, but you will never develop confidence if you let others take ownership of running your vision. Part of growing a business is the owner of the business growing as a person through making mistakes and learning from them. There is no bulletproof way to avoid making mistakes. So grab the bull by the horns and do what you need to do. Take ownership of your own business, through taking ownership of your own destiny. “A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows the public opinion.”— Grantland Rice —————————————————— Want help developing a business model around your great idea, check out my free Udemy course on Beginner's Business Modeling, use this link https://bit.ly/3A0yjj5 Want to ask me to tackle certain questions you have?
