Why I Invest In Myself - A Conversation with My Coach, Tara Newman

I’m sharing something a little different today: an interview I did with my business coach, Tara Newman. We talk about the journey I’ve taken with her over the last few years to burn my business down and start anew. I don’t couch my story in the shiny facade we often see online. Mine showcases not just a transformational business journey but also a personal healing journey. It’s a story you’ll want to hear if you’re struggling to get from point A to B or make different decisions, find yourself holding back, or want to know the progress that’s possible with the right coach in your corner.

10:55 - Debt I racked up trying to grow my business and other costs, personally and professionally
19:32 - Fighting against the misleading image of how successful entrepreneurs operate online
22:55 - The shame that used to drive my business decisions
28:38 - Restarting from zero and breaking the cardinal rule of sales calls on every sales call
30:45 - Why I choose not to do sales calls anymore (and what I do now instead)
40:09 - Recognizing that I created my business transformation
44:40 - My epiphany about the similarities between running a business and training in the gym
47:44 - Taking a break from tracking metrics that trigger negative feelings
55:56 - How the pandemic has changed and impacted my financial household

In Episode 106, it’s my birthday! I’m reflecting on what I’ve learned in the last 48 years. My life is FULL. I take really good care of myself.

In episode 99 Lisa goes deeper down the rabbit hole of the stories that have shaped your identity and how you can use your children to identify your own blindspots. Parents often get caught in the trap of being focused on shaping their children without realizing that they are here to also shape you. Not by simply shaping you into what it means to be a parent but also by giving you the opportunity to look more deeply at the stories and beliefs you hold that are also playing out in your children.
Todays episode is meant to support you asking better questions of yourself so you can continue to know yourself better and free yourself from the identities that have been holding you back from living your most extraordinary life.

How well do you think you know yourself?

In episode 98 Lisa shares her journey of releasing old judgements and how she measured herself against others to create an unrealistic idea of who she thought she should be. We all tell ourselves stories about who we think we are, what we believe we should be able to do, and to make it worse when we believe these stories we block ourselves from knowing and understand the truth of our brilliance.
Listen to the episode and then begin to gather your own data to determine how you can honor your strengths and your weakness and how to see the value in both. Nothing defines you but when you know yourself better and stop making the data mean anything you'll be able to harness your true power and potential.
