157. Becoming a Category of One with Joe Calloway
This whole world we live in is amazing. The way we can connect with people the way we can get aligned with people and meet people in online in a way that just wasn't possible a couple years ago. And I know I'm preaching to the choir, you all do that the same. And it's really fun how, when we're in our businesses, when we're running it, it can feel very stifling. If you let it, it can feel like the walls are closing in around, you can feel like you got this whole big weight on your shoulders. But that doesn't mean you have to do it alone. As a matter of fact, the most inspirational leaders that I've ever worked with in my entire life, still have coaches. It's knowing that you don't know it all. It's knowing that you need help knowing that you it's not that you're not enough, it's that you are an unfinished product. And I think that's a very healthy thing to to just recognize and say I'm unfinished. I'm not perfect, I need someone else, if nothing else, to point me in the right direction when I need it, to keep me moving forward, because that's what growing is all about. Which is why I am super excited to have Joe Calloway with me. Joe is a performance coach and advisor who helps great companies get even better. So he's an author, coach, speaker and his client list reads like, whoa, who are these people? He's the author of four ground-breaking business books, including becoming a category of one how extraordinary companies transcend commodity and defy comparison, which received rave reviews from the New York Times. We discuss: The idea of having a simple mantra or phrase that can guide the team and have tactical application The value of coaching and exchanging ideas. Leadership, management, and caring for employees. Developing a "filter system" for ideal types of clients to work with This was an incredible episode that I am so proud to have been part of! If you're not connected with Joe already, do yourself a favor and take a listen to this episode. Connect with Joe on LinkedIn:

What does your team need from you during times of change? Change is inevitable in a business and you will encounter this at some point during your career.

I’ve been on both sides of these situations (and I’m sure you have as well) As you’re navigating these waters, don’t forget about your team. They’re feeling the same apprehensions as you. The same fears and same uncertainty. How you lead in this situation will determine the ultimate success of your strategy. Links Learn more at Activate The Warrior Within

154. Building An Etsy Empire with Dylan Jahraus
What does it take to build an empire? There are so many things that are consistent with the many leaders that I’ve been fortunate to have interviewed on this show. A tenacity for getting things done, willingness to do what no one else would do, and a positive energy that is infectious are just a couple of them. Today I was really excited to speak to someone about a platform that I’ve only just barely even used: Etsy. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to speak to Dylan Jahraus. Dylan is a $1.5M Etsy seller with a corporate e-commerce background. She’s consulted 2,000+ Etsy sellers from 30+ different countries within a variety of categories– digital, POD, handmade, supplies and vintage! We discuss: Journey into Etsy - Dylan discusses her journey from starting a small Etsy shop to scaling it into a $400,000 annual business. Dylan reflects on her transition from a seller to a coach, helping others succeed on Etsy. The Art of Scaling and Fulfillment - Dylan emphasizes the importance of building a scalable model and outsourcing tasks like fulfillment. She shares her experience of employing military spouses to handle fulfillment, enabling her to focus on growing the business. Etsy SEO and Building Brand Loyalty - Dylan dives into the intricacies of Etsy SEO, emphasizing its differences from traditional search engine optimization. She highlights the significance of functional SEO and the impact of brand loyalty on Etsy. Building an Etsy Empire - Dylan shares her journey of transitioning from a solo seller to a coaching business, emphasizing the importance of providing value and building a strong team. She reflects on the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship compared to corporate life. I’m still so excited by how much I learned from this amazing interview and can’t wait to apply these lessons into my own business. Even if you aren’t selling on Etsy, these are universal skills that will apply to your business as well. Links Dylan’s Website: Follow her on YouTube! Learn more at Activate The Warrior Within

If you could fix one thing to move your business forward, what would it be? As a business operations coach, I have the fortune to be able to work with businesses in multiple different niches and industries. And yet, what holds many of them back are common characteristics. The bad news is that without fixing these parts of your business you’ll always feel like you’re pushing a boulder up a mountain. The good news… they are all within your control! Fix the foundation of your business and watch the results start to come easier and allow you more freedom to move forward with what drives you.

Do you remember the first time you truly discovered entrepreneurship? If I ask you to tell me about this moment in time, it’s likely that this will evolve into a story. One that has twists, turns, successes, and failures. And ultimately teach something that you learned along the way. That’s the power of storytelling and as leaders we must find ways to use story throughout our communication. In this episode I go through a couple of tips that I’ve used to improve my own storytelling in a very natural way.

What’s the most valuable tool that you have to inspire people? I’ve been observing influential people for years and notice that they all have one critical similarity. They all tell stories. It makes sense when you consider that the entire human experience is rooted in storytelling. From the earliest days of caveman we’ve been telling stories to convey greater meaning. Inspiring others to take action or learn lessons. So let me ask you… what stories do you have to tell? As I would discover during this episode, there are actually 7 essential stories that we need as leaders in our companies. Which is why I turned to my new friend Kurian to help me learn more.

I hope this moves you into action, documenting and telling your own story. And giving yourself the permission to share and be vulnerable to inspire those around you.

As entrepreneurs, our heart and soul is invested in our business. It’s literally part of our identity and a large part of what keeps us going. But I think we’re all aware that many decisions were made by our government which greatly impacted small businesses across the country. The good news is that seeing this happen has encouraged many to step up their own contribution, even coming out of retirement to contribute their knowledge and experience to the next generation of entrepreneurs. Which is why I couldn’t wait to sit down with Chris Lautenslager. Driven by an unshakable desire to partner with the leaders of small and medium businesses, Chris founded GET LOOPED, LLC as a platform to showcase the value and benefits of a collective prosperity for people, businesses and communities. Today, he helps businesses and CEOs incorporate prosperity in collaboration with profitability into their business practices.

133. Check Yourself
How long do people stay active towards most of their goals? We often start strong then start to drift away as a couple of weeks pass on. This isn’t just true for things like new years resolutions, but also business goals. This is where I’ve found a lot of value in having checkpoints throughout any process or goal that I’m implementing. A deliberate place to stop, evaluate, and make any adjustments needed to move forward. Links Learn more at Activate The Warrior Within

131. Working From A Strategy
“Have you tried this new tactic or tool?” This is what most of us are consistently hearing about when discussing solving specific business problems that come up in our lives. It’s what I typically refer to as the “magic brush”. But in reality it’s not going to solve our problems just create more noise and confusion in the process. Rather than looking for a new and sexy tactic, take a step back and look at things from a strategic perspective. I’ve found that I already have all the tools that I need but I need to apply them in a different direction. Begin with the end in mind and see the results that you are after!
