Welcome back to another episode of Foot Traffic! Today I'm interviewing Adrienne Dorison, the co-founder of Run Like Clockwork. I read this book and knew immediately I had to chat with Adrienne! We're talking about how well your business can run without you. Adrienne is going to walk us through some steps that can prepare us for things that pop up unexpectedly so we know our business will run without us, no matter what. Let's build a real business with a solid foundation and set up systems to be ultra efficient!

"The #1 thing that's going to come up is resistance to letting things go ..." At minute 2:15, Adrienne fills us in on her background and everything you need to know about her. She shares the biggest problems she sees when a small business owner comes to her. Hear if this clockwork strategy will actually work for everyone.

"Growing a team means a bigger headache..." At 9:20, I hear a lot of people struggle with seeing having a big team means a big headache. If this is something you are thinking, you need to hear this! Plus, are people coming to Adrienne as anti-team? Hear her insight into what people think about teams and what their approach at Run Like Clockwork is. Plus, we're talking more about teams and decision making.

"You're mix should look very different than the company's..." At minute 17:20, in the book, there are four 'D's'. Doing, deciding, delegating and designing. We're diving into the last two, delegating and designing, and Adrienne tells us her suggestions for what percent we should be striving for with each of these in our business.

"We want to design something that isn't dependent on either of us..." At 23:18, we're talking about what happens when someone steps out of the business for a long time and what could possibly happen if you are the main person bringing in the revenue. Adrienne shares a story and a scenario from the book that could happen to anyone, at any time.

"It's about the role not the individual..." At minute 28:38, Adrienne goes deeper about the idea of QBR (Queen Bee Rule) from the book. Hear why if certain roles are not getting served other positions will not survive.

Welcome back to another episode of Foot Traffic! Sometimes we have to do things we don’t enjoy now, to get to the benefit (or where we want to go) later. We live in a world of instant gratification. If it doesn’t bring immediate satisfaction or results, we don’t want to do it. For someone like me who is a doer, this is extremely hard, however, I am now reaping the rewards! And in the long run, I am moving my business forward faster and more efficiently. 

"Don't you do things everyday that you don't really want to do so your business can thrive?..." At minute 0:40, I'm reflecting on what worked and what didn't work for our latest launch of the Foot Traffic Formula. Hear how every idea I come up with I think is the most amazing but why that's not always a good thing and how advice from a coach mentor or someone on your team is necessary plus the proper timing.

"Not trying to sell but really trying to understand..." At 5:19, I'm sharing my second tip which is listening to our customers. This can be SO powerful to build those connections, showing that you care and you're here to help. Not only that, but making sure we invest time to the right customer.

"You have to start moving forward, taking action..." At minute 9:42, let's talk about indecisiveness and what to do when our customers can't decide if your product or program is what they need. Plus, why we need to stop playing the victim role and understand that we will get burned during entrepreneurship but that doesn't mean to stop taking action or risks.

"It's not going to happen if you're not willing to make those sacrifices..." At minute 15:14, we're talking about taking consistent action and holding ourselves accountable. What is it that's holding you back from being the business owner you were meant to be?

Welcome back to another episode of Foot Traffic! Let’s face it, if your business isn’t growing it is plateauing! But what if this could be fixed with one simple tweak in your thoughts? What if you are simply telling yourself things that are simply not true…I have someone who can help you do just that. In today’s episode I'm excited to introduce you to my good friend, Dr. Shannon Irvine. Shannon has her PhD in neuropsychology, is the host of the Epic Success Show podcast and in this interview she is going to walk you through an exercise that will help you quit stalling your business!

"But yet they don't believe in themselves enough to actually execute that..." At minute 1:50, Shannon shares her background with us and what led her to where she is now. We're diving into all things mindset and how our stories are hardwired and automated to our thoughts, making us feel stuck.

"The place that fires 80-90% of the time is your subconscious mind..." At 7:35, we're talking about what we can do when we've grown up a certain way or have been in a certain environment that becomes part of our story. Dr. Shannon gives advice on how we can begin to rewire our brains and those stories. Plus, hear the trick she uses with her clients and the 4 steps she uses in neuro-coaching that she takes people through to reverse engineer the stories we've created ourselves.

"You get to powerfully choose to become the creator of your thoughts..." At minute 20:02, hear how easily we can figure out the stories we have told ourselves whether you know what they are or not. Dr. Shannon explains how the stories are easy to hear if you stop running away from stress and resistance.

"The doors open when your belief changes..." At 30:13, I'm sharing the story in my head that was holding my business back. Plus we talk about how our thoughts happen before our emotions and the thoughts we are repeating over and over again become our beliefs that get stored in our subconscious.
