Ladies Power Lunch Ep.105: Why is taking care of self the key to growing your business and where exactly do we start?

Thanks so much for tuning in to the last episode where both myself and special guest Gail Petrowsky shared that true deep self appreciation propels growth in our businesses. Gail shared a transformational homework exercise which I invited you to share over in the Ladies' Power Lunch Group. Today, we dive deeper. Why is taking care of self the key to growing your business and where exactly do we start? This is a practical show and so today we share several cool activities that you can implement to get off the bus to burnout and embrace the brilliance that your life and business can be. Hear the stories of the folks who are just like you who have seen amazing transformations from implementing these simple techniques. At the end of our previous video we asked for feedback and we truly appreciate all your responses. Thank you. Some of our viewers from video 1 in this 4 video series noted that while they desire to focus on self appreciation, they were unsure as to whether this will make a difference in their business and they were not sure they had the time or money to embark on a self love journey. In this episode, exactly how self care supports business is explained, and we share some inexpensive, potent, self appreciation tips that don't take up much time and are a perfect starting point. This is an outstanding episode! So many valuable implementable tips are shared here today!

Ladies Power Lunch Ep. 104:4 Part Self Appreciation Series: How to grow your business smarter?

4 Part Self Appreciation Series: How to grow your business smarter? Guest Gail Petrowsky says the answer is not what you think...

In our efforts to grow our businesses, climb the corporate ladder or build life changing not for profit organizations, very often we may feel as though the results from our efforts are not in direct correlation the the amount o effort we put in. Sometimes it seems as though we struggle with increasing our income impact reach and time freedom in a somewhat unexpected way. How do you grow our business smarter? Is there a better and surprisingly easier way? What is it and why should it mater to you no matter what area your vocation falls in? Today's guest says the answer is not what you think. She says that it is true that climbing the corporate ladder and/or growing a bigger better business, expanding reach and income at first glance seem to require certain business related skills. She points out however that there is something else at the core of every successful woman in business. Tune in as best selling author, therapist retreat leader and coach with over 30 years experience: Gail Petrowsky unveils the secret every woman in business needs to know. If you want to grow your business smarter it starts with self. Developing a life lived in balance, holding compassionate boundaries, inviting more beauty and living more brilliantly lead to a business that is more in line with your desires, and it all starts with deep self appreciation. In this episode, Gail and I explore, using our combined 50 years of experience, how deep self appreciation can be life changing in all areas including business growth. Practical examples and some take away exercises at the end will set you firmly on the path of a brilliant life instead of a path leading to eventual burnout. Please listen along and then we invite you to join in on the discussion over in our free Facebook group for women in business:
