Small Business Owners: Are you working IN or ON your business?

What are some of the signs that you're working IN your business instead of ON your business?  Welcome to the Leadership Rising Podcast! Coach and Guide today, Jim Urban is bringing the community of small businesses owners, entrepreneurs and solopreneurs together for this great discussion. Jim is joined by coaches Steve Seay and Rebecca Schleifer to talk about the challenges that business owners face. Steve looks back to the beginning of his coaching business and reflects on the importance of working "IN" his business when he was asking himself these questions - "What am I doing now to create business? Who am I serving? How am I creating money today?"  Listen for this moment: "It can become a spiral. It's like telling a kid, with a limitless credit card, in a candy shop - you gotta stop buying candy. Sometimes when you've worked IN your business for a long period of time, you can only sustain that level of motivation and energy for so long. And that can be an opportunity to know it is time to dream bigger."

How to Break the Cycle of Negativity and Start Thinking Neutral

"Positive thinking only works part of the time, but negative thinking is working 100% of the time. It's time to break the cycle of negativity and start thinking NEUTRAL." {Trevor Moawad} Welcome to the Leadership Rising Podcast! Coach and Guide today, Steve Seay is opening up this discussion around Neutral Thinking. Steve is joined by coaches Jim Urban and Rebecca Schleifer to talk about the power of our thinking and how it plays a huge role in the outcomes of our daily lives.  The idea of neutral thinking is a mindset that focuses on staying in the present moment without attaching judgements, emotions or biases to past events or future outcomes.  Listen for this moment: "You think about the power of negativity - our thoughts and our words are so powerful. Negativity is 4 to 7 times greater than positive thinking. It's 10 times greater in our words and our language. So, like at the playground we go 'sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me' - that's a bunch of BULL. It's actually the opposite."

The 3 Laws of Performance: Holding the Power of Rewriting Our Future

Welcome to the Leadership Rising Podcast! Coach and Guide today, Steve Seay is opening up this discussion around the Three Laws of Performance. Steve is joined by coaches Jim Urban and Rebecca Schleifer to talk about the possibilities around rewriting our future in business and in life.  Coach Steve references the book, "The Three Laws of Performance" by Steve Zaffron and Dave Logan [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/111804312X/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wwwlandmarked-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=111804312X].  1st Law: How people perform correlates to how they perceive the situation 2nd Law: How a situation unfolds arises in the language which gets used 3rd Law: Future-based language transforms how situations occur to people Listen for this moment: "Do I happen to life or does life happen to me? We call that in psychology Internal Locus of Control or External Locus of Control. If I believe that I have agency, and capability and opportunity to do something - that creates a ton of possibilities for how the situation can be turned around. When you're talking about language - I think it's an intentional boundary for leaders. It's a point of emphasis that we use language about possibilities and about opportunities and about being right on the cusp of achieving that breakthrough."  Learn more about the voices and topics in this episode: Learn more about Accelerate Leadership Group [https://accelerateleadershipgroup.com/] Exclusive Programs Available through Accelerate Leadership Group [https://accelerateleadershipgroup.com/programs/] Find Accelerate Leadership Group on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/people/Accelerate-Leadership-Group/61562208059998/] Find Accelerate Leadership Group on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/accelerateleadershipgroup?igsh=NHdia21semllaXA4] Proudly produced by Dee Daniels Media Podcast Network [https://www.deedanielsmedia.com/]
