It is great to be back with you must be the former beautician at me, but I cannot emphasize how much I love a

good make-over. And that is exactly what I took the summer to do with the podcast, which if you

recall, if you’ve been with me before it was personal growth lifestyle and it is now she so blessed

mindset named after my Facebook group. She so blessed mindset incubator. So today’s episode

is the reintroduction. When it tell you what I learned, the shifts that I had to make, um, in terms of

my mindset to come back and to rebrand, why I decided to do it and what you can expect from

this podcast, which I have to be honest, it’s not going to be so, so different from personal work

lifestyle.

So just in case you forgot who I am, because I did kind of fall off the face of the earth

for a minute, at least podcasting wise, I’m Lisa Latimer, business mindset, coach battle-tested

empath, and I help bombshell female entrepreneurs combine the impersonal and entrepreneurial

growth to create success, fulfillment, and impact in life and business.

I have never believed that your personal growth in your entrepreneurial

growth were separate containers of life. They are very much interconnected. In fact, your

entrepreneurial growth and journey is an extension of your personal growth.

So the reason that I took the summer off was because I found myself in that situation that we often do, especially as

coaches, where I was able to help everyone else figure out what they needed and make the

shifts and ask the right questions that got them to dig deeper and understand what they needed.

And then one day I got on a phone call with a good friend of mine, Holly Hughes. She was

actually an amazing guest. She’s an energy healer. And if you didn’t catch her episode that we

did on personal growth lifestyle, still one of the most listened to episodes on here. It’s the

episode about energetically detaching from narcissist abuse. Um, so I highly recommend you go back and listen to that, but we were

talking and she very much wanted to combine per writing and something else. And I suggested

doing a podcast and she had all sorts of ideas in her head about what kind of a pain in the ass a

podcast would be. And I said to her, well, what does a podcast look and feel like for you? She

was like, well, you know, from what I see out there, it’s really expensive. It takes a lot of time,

you know, she made it out to be this huge beast of burden. And I laughed. I’m like, do I hire

someone on Fiverr that does my, for five, it comes up to like $7 per episode. So that’s number

one, not the huge expense that you thought. Um, and I said, you know, there are podcasts out

there now they’re five minutes. You could do a podcast where you kill two birds with one stone where

you make the podcast about your book. And she was like, oh, really? You know, it was kind of

like this head explode moment. And when I got off the phone with her, I had that same head

explosion moment because I was like, holy shit, what I’m telling her is exactly what I need to be

telling myself and doing for myself.

And with that, I came to the conclusion that I needed to take the summer off from the personal growth lifestyle podcast and really get out of the weeds, get out of the muckiness of doing what she was doing, which was looking at other podcasts and

saying, okay, well I need to do it at least once a week. I, it needs to be like 40 minutes at minimum, 30 minutes long.

Speaker 1 00:04:01 I need to have guests. Funny enough when the podcast first started, I

had on the original introduction episode of personal growth lifestyle, I said, it’s mainly going to be

me. You will get an occasional interview episode where I bring on a guest, but I don’t want to be

a podcast that relies on guests because I don’t want to have some Yahoo sitting here, you know,

on zoom with me, just filling up air time. I don’t want to waste your time. And I don’t want to

waste mine. Oddly enough. Once I started to interview people and doing those types of guests

episodes, it became kind of addicting to me. I loved meeting these people and I really have

made some of the most amazing business and just friendship connections through podcasting.

But I’m going to tell you something, what I wound up doing was burning myself out because I had to get out there across multiple platforms and look for podcast guests. And I never would have them just come and record a 45-minute

episode. I would do a 15-minute pre podcast chat with them, which was really time-consuming,

even though it was nice getting to meet them. And then I also had to have them reschedule and,

you know, do the 45-minute podcast interview. So doing all of that on top of picking up more

one-on-one coaching clients over the summer, um, you know, on top of having just finished up

our first full homeschooling year, well, it was a lot and a girl needed a little bit of a break, a little

bit of distance to sit back and breathe. And here’s a shift that I had to make as well. I always tell

my boss, ladies, you should be able to name the top one to three revenue-generating activities in

your business. And when I got honest with myself, as much as I love doing the podcast, it is not

a direct source of income.

And it probably won’t be that for quite a while. And that’s okaybecause I genuinely love coming here and speaking with you and I genuinely love, um, meeting other people and having them on his podcast guests. But I had to realize that I was burning

myself out and something had to go at least temporarily. So I let go of the podcast. I needed time

and space from it to rethink it. And there is nothing wrong with stepping away from something

and coming back to it. And re-imagining it. And I don’t know if this is maybe a little bit of my own

trauma coming out where I just, I don’t feel a sense of attachment to things and projects. I can

start something and if it needs to be completely revamped, whether it’s a book, a podcast, you

know, uh, my business, I have no problem with it.

I used to go by the nickname on Instagram mother of re-invention

because I really don’t develop that sense of attachment, especially my fellow creative writers out

there. I know you all understand what I’m saying. You get very attached to your work, your

characters, and when someone comes in and edits, it’s really difficult to let things go, but I don’t

have that problem. So it was easy for me to say, okay, it’s not going to be personal growth

lifestyle anymore. It’s got to speak more to what I believe in and more to my own personal

journey as well, which is the marriage of the personal growth and development with the

entrepreneurial journey and the entrepreneurial growth and development. So I want to be here

and support you. If you are a boss lady who is either in business or you want to start a business

and you really want that, that personal growth and development and that mindset and

entrepreneurial journey mixed in there with it, because it just makes the journey so much more

fulfilling.

There’s actually an amazing quote by Simon Sinek. And if I could take

a second and actually find it out, I’ll tell you, but I needed something that was more of a

reflection of the multiple dimensions in my life and of what I’m living right now, because there are

so many layers to me, and there are so many layers to you. And I just, I really genuinely felt like

recreating this podcast from that angle would be so much more supportive. So this is the quote

from Simon. Sineck who I absolutely love everything. Everything that comes out of this man’s

mouth, he says, excitement comes from the achievement. Fulfillment comes from the journey

that got you there. So I really want this. She so blessed mindset incubator to be that support for

the journey that gets you there. So often we focus on that end goal that we miss all of this magic

that happens in between all of these, all of these micro wins.

The in-between a to Z is where you change a little bit as a person in allof the amazing ways. It’s where you make the connections that, you know, by the time you get to your Z and these people are the people that you just surround yourself with. And kind of really

don’t think twice about that in between is where you meet them. It’s where you start talking to

them and developing a relationship with them and having the privilege of gaining their perception

on different things that in turn contributes to your personal and professional growth and

development. So we miss so much of that when we’re focused on that end goal. So this podcast

is about the journey and it’s about more than just what the strategy can ever do for you. It is about you becoming that more

well-rounded person and entrepreneur. And again, I have worked with so many clients where

they have spent, I would say on average between 10 and $15,000 on business strategy between

masterminds and one-on-one coaching.

And they’ve gotten some okay results where they feel a little more motivated, but they still didn’t have the results in their business where they wanted to be. And they still didn’t have that feeling of fulfillment with their journey. So that’s something that I see

really, really lacking at times. And I want to be that, that person, that you can come to, in that

podcast that you can come to and that Facebook group that you can come to bridge the gap,

um, and make that journey somethi
