📝 Permission Slips
🎧 027: Time Management for Mortals with Oliver Burkeman —📝 Admit that you are never going to get everything done. You're never going to get on top of everything. You are never going to be in a position where you're not dropping a single ball.
🎧 183: Letting Go of Productivity Guilt with Madeleine Dore — 📝 Stop measuring the day by how productive you were. Be curious and expansive when reviewing your day, including your internal accomplishments, moments of connection, or even moments of idleness. Instead of trying to optimize your day only through the lens of productivity, occupy and embrace your day for what it wants to be.
🎧 173: Cut Your Losses—Even While Pivoting in Public—with Khe Hy — 📝 To feel. To cry. To fully experience and talk about what you’re going through. Your humanity in the situation is not at odds with who and how you want to be as a founder and CEO—they are perfectly intertwined.
🎧 137: Attracting Clients Through TikTok (without Letting the Algorithm Drive You) with Inna Aizenshtein — 📝 Drop whatever shame or fear you have around creating something imperfectly. Step into the fear and remember that this is a superpower, and the fear is going to make it meaningful. [Hitting publish] is also probably a lot lower stakes than it feels in the moment.
🎧 033: Sparked with Jonathan Fields — 📝 Allow the thing that you seek to create be as much a manifestation of the essential nature of who you are as it is a mechanism to fill what you perceive to be a viable need in a marketplace.
🎧 041: Pay From the Heart Pricing with Mark Silver — 📝 Trust your heart.
🎧 171: Discovering Your Divine Assignment with Melissa Hughes (while Building with Grace and Ease) — 📝 Understand that whatever you want wants you, too. It can be both/and: Look at what’s working for you and lean more into that unapologetically. Allow yourself to explore new possibilities.
🎧 047: Beautiful Business with Steven Morris — 📝 Be your whole self and grant yourself permission to live your most beautiful life. You don't have to prove anything to anyone.
🎧 191: Structuring Free Time as a Single Parent while Grieving and Rebuilding with Karen Allen — 📝 Do what your soul is calling you to do.
🎧 013: The Self-Employed Ecosystem with Jeffrey Shaw — 📝 Do business in a way that actually feels good.
🎧 117: Tiny Marketing Actions with Pamela Slim — 📝 Drop the socialization that tells you that you should be in a different place than you are, doing more, feeling guilty for what you haven’t done; the shame that builds up around making a plan and falling off course. Release and drop anything you didn’t do and look forward.
🎧 004: Take a Stand with Antonio Neves — 📝 Being fine with who we are.
🎧 165: Are Your Clients Bringing Out the Best in You? Engineering the Evolution of Your Business with Ilise Benun — 📝 Stop listening to the scolding voice in your head. See your business as a laboratory, where everything is an experiment.
🎧 083: Breaking through Buyer’s Remorse—Never Lose a Customer Again with Joey Coleman — 📝 Be more gentle with yourself.
🎧 115: Successfully Taking Over as CEO from a Founder (MBS) with Shannon Minifie — 📝 To “earn your paycheck” over a long period of time.
🎧 147: How to Set Up Brand Partnerships with Justin Moore — 📝 Celebrate the business success you have already achieved.
🎧 121: How to Steer Through a Downturn and Stop Micromanaging with Annie Hyman Pratt — 📝 Drop the self-blame and self-disappointment. If you are a business owner, your self-compassion must exceed your ambition.
🎧 **073: From CEO (Back) to Creator with Pat Flynn — 📝 To fail. There is no better learning than failure, so go ahead, try something new, do your best and learn from the results.
🎧 039: Permission to Glow with Kristoffer (KC) Carter — 📝 Breathe. There's time.
🎧 079: Behind the Launch with Antonio Neves (Part 2) — 📝 Share what scares you. Whatever secret you are terrified people will find out — or are embarrassed to say out loud — let it surface; it’s freeing to let the light in.
