One of the most impactful books I've ever read is Gay Hendricks’ The Big Leap. I find it helpful to revisit it in mid-January because it reminds me of this concept he discovered called “The Upper Limiting Problem.” In short, we each have a limit on how much abundance, success, and love we think we deserve. Once we start to get close to those thresholds, we self-sabotage and create chaos to stay within the boundaries we’re familiar with.  The key to tapping into your highest potential is to start observing where you hold yourself back. In this episode, I share four of my upper limits and how I’m actively working to break through them.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What “upper limiting” is  Signs you’re on the verge of becoming a better version of yourself How I break out of the procrastination cycle  Cultivating self-validation and confidence  The fastest way to get outside of yourself  RESOURCES The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks  Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

I’ve always had mixed emotions about the ‘introvert’ and ‘extrovert’ labels. I love being around my people, but I used to always feel the need to recharge after big social events.

In this episode, I share how I handle social situations now to make sure that I’m not leaving them feeling anxious and drained.  If you identify as an introvert, DM me over on Instagram at @loriharder and let me know if this resonates with you!

There are three things that Chris and I wish we would’ve known at the beginning of our careers. These lessons would’ve helped us collapse time and experience more sustainable growth. Over the years, we’ve learned how important it is to prioritize equal-energy relationships, invest in the right employees and mentors, and turn down opportunities that aren’t aligned with our goals. In this episode, we reflect on some of the major lessons we’ve learned and tools we use to stay focused.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Following the energy instead of trying to force relationships  The consequences of being afraid to spend money on quality mentorship and employees  Navigating the gray space when you’re faced with something good that doesn’t serve your long-term vision  Surrounding yourself with people who bring out the best version of you  RESOURCES Apply now for the 2023 Elite Mastermind: chrisharder.me/mastermind  Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

One of the most effective life hacks that I’ve discovered is this thing called Parkinson’s Law, which says, “work expands to fill the time available for its completion.” In other words, if you give yourself a month to do something, you’ll take every single day of that month to get it done. But, if you give yourself a week to do that same task, guess what? It will only take you seven days to finish it.  I’m really in this season of kicking myself into high gear and maximizing every minute that I schedule in for work.

With all the traveling and events that I’ve had going on lately, my healthy routines and habits have fallen to the wayside. Instead of sitting in that discomfort, I decided to challenge myself to a week without sugar, which has given me the reset that I need to get back on track and finish this year super strong.  This experience has reinforced the idea for me that if you aren’t hitting your goals, it’s most likely because you’re not getting your mindset and health to that level first.

One of the most common questions that I get in my DMs is how to get out of a rut when you’re feeling uninspired and burned out. My biggest piece of advice around that is to be intentional about seeking out inspiration and don’t be afraid to try out a different lane.  I always tune into music, watch a great comedian, or move my body in a way that gets me out of my same old routine.

But, Chris and I have made a commitment to consistently step into resistance because we know that we’ll be rewarded for it in the long run.  It can be so tempting to choose the easier, more comfortable option, but once you start training yourself to push through the resistance, all of the things that you really want are waiting for you on the other side.

I always say that I’m a graduate of “Google University” because instead of giving up when I don’t know something, I put it right into my search bar and go down the rabbit hole. Everytime we tell ourselves that we can’t do something or don’t have the resources, that’s the exact moment when we strip ourselves of our power. In today’s episode, I share my favorite exercise for formulating questions and discovering answers. I promise that when you start to feel confident in your ability to get inquisitive and figure stuff out, that’s when success starts to compound.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Getting comfortable with not having all the answers immediately laid out for you  Reframing what’s holding you back into research questions  Being honest with yourself if something is genuinely hard, or it’s just going to take more time and thought than you anticipated  Why I prefer to focus on the next first step, not the end goal    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

I just got back from the Powerhouse Women event and it was amazing. I had so many moments where I had tears in my eyes watching others rise and be the person that they came here to be. It was fun and it was inspiring. One speaker stood out to me with something she said, so I came home and immediately shared it with Chris and it is what we are talking about in today’s episode. Jasmine Star blew my mind when she said “Overwhelm is the abundance of everything you ever wished and prayed for coming in all at once”.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The different kinds of overwhelm How to become a different person as you adjust to having more things come to fruition How to practice gratitude in times of overwhelm How to frame your next hour, day, week or month when overwhelm hits   RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

In this week’s He Said She Said, Chris and I share our takeaways from this book and share with you our feelings on stress and how to manage it to create a winner’s mindset.

For years Chris and I were yes people, and for years we have watched others “yes” themselves to death. Now, we practice not just saying no to things that do not serve our greater vision and purpose but going beyond that and letting it be okay if we disappoint people by saying no. We have consistently learned from others who have beautiful boundaries to protect and who have thrived by doing so. When you say yes to everything, you water down your message. When you constantly say yes, you take yourself away from your primary vision and the message you want out in the world.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why you shouldn't say yes to every opportunity and should only say yes to what serves your agenda. We discuss the side effects of “yessing” yourself to death If you don’t get an immediate answer to a request, it doesn't mean to stop asking. We discuss how to not take it personally How and why it is harder for women to turn down opportunities and how women can overcome the fear of saying no How people react to your no is usually telling of how they will behave and show up for you down the line Why protecting boundaries and respecting others is so important   RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

I was recently listening to an episode of the Ed Mylett Show with Rory Vaden, and they brought up the difference between investing time versus spending time. It’s a simple idea, but it helped me realize that being intentional about what you’re doing and who you’re doing it with isn’t just about streamlining your schedule, but it’s also about moving the needle on your long-term goals and making your life better.

We all have fears, but how can you use them to propel you forward instead of hold you back? All you have to do is choose which fear you're going to feed and let that be the fuel that motivates you to achieve your big goals.    Chris and I discuss what fears really drive us, and how we use that to stay focused without letting it overwhelm us.

Most of us don't need to be adding things to our plate right now. In fact, taking things off your to-do list can actually help you make time for the people and experiences that really matter. When you scroll on social media, it can feel like everyone is doing more than you, but how can you look for ways to create value and fulfillment from doing less? I’ve found that taking a step back has magically expanded time and made me even more productive when I need to be in that mode. I want to challenge you this week to do less and give yourself time to connect with something or someone you love.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Reflecting on spending quality time with family and friends in Wisconsin  Detaching your self-worth from how busy you are  How you can actually get more done by doing less Evaluating if your routines are actually making you more stressed    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

During your downtime, do you catch yourself thinking about what you should be doing instead? Chris and I are working on shifting our language around those thoughts when they creep up and soaking up this time that we have in Wisconsin with our friends and family. It can be so easy to become the thief of your own peace by constantly focusing on what you should be doing to make more money and hit bigger goals. But, it’s so important to give yourself a break and enjoy the fruits of your labor. If you don’t, then why are you even hustling in the first place?    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Recognizing when you’re sabotaging your own joy and peace  Looking at enjoyment as a sign that you'll be able to collapse time when you tap back into work mode Why making a better life is usually taking away things, not adding more to your to-do list An eye-opening journaling exercise from Four Thousand Weeks that really helped us get clear on our priorities    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

There are two main tools that I use to lift myself up and change my mood when I’m feeling overwhelmed. I like to make sure that I have scheduled things to look forward to and that I’m prioritizing time with the community that I really want to invest in long term.

It’s not always easy, but these are the two things that really help me live a more balanced, present life.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Finding a sense of peace, purpose, and connection  Doing activities that force you to set goals and focus  Groups that you can join or create to build your community  Giving yourself time to develop friendships    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

Nothing matters until you make it matter, good or bad. It can be so easy to spiral and focus your energy on things that are frustrating, upsetting, or just generally keeping you down. On the flip side, if you want to prioritize something, you have to be super intentional about that and make sure that you’re giving it the attention that it deserves. I’m trying to become a master of focusing my time and energy where it serves me best, enjoying my downtime, and being present with the people that I love. I’ll always be a work in progress, but the more that I can let things go and hone in on what matters, the more I can live in alignment and reach my goals.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Tips for staying present when it feels like there’s an endless to-do list  What Chris and I like to do when we’re feeling like our energy is being depleted  The importance of taking your attention away from things that drain you and moving it to something that fills you up  Examples of how to make your relationships matter and strengthen your connections    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

If you're procrastinating and putting off your big goal because you want it to be perfect, that's just another version of an excuse. That might sound harsh, but it’s something I wish I would’ve heard when I was sitting in a lot of resistance. I’ve realized that it’s better to do whatever it takes to get the job done, and then learn on the other side. If you have to do more research and drag out your launch, it means you probably shouldn't be teaching it because you haven’t lived it yet. I promise that it’s better to condense your timeline, make yourself do it, and get your idea out there ASAP.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Reflecting on times when I was struggling with my inner perfectionist and hesitant to release my work  How to know when you’re releasing the right content  My challenge to everyone when it comes to getting projects done What you’ll learn in our new Be Online course    RESOURCES Thanks a Little Passports for supporting my show.

Chris and I were coaching separate groups recently, and when we came together to talk about how the sessions went, we realized a lot of entrepreneurs are facing four similar challenges. We’ve noticed that many business owners are up against an audience problem, they’re not providing value to their audience, their content is stale, or they’re comparing their chapter one effort to someone else’s chapter nine results. It’s so powerful to hear the truth and bring some self awareness around what’s really holding you back, and we hope that this conversation can shine a light on how you can reach your true potential.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Growing your audience in accordance with the size of your goals Examples of how we add value to our audience before we ask them for anything in return What we notice about our social media numbers when we put out original, fun content  Our perspective on healthy comparison  The number one move that helps jumpstart your growth    RESOURCES Want to learn the truth about how to get your online business off the ground?

There are three main things that people want when they’re looking for an equal energy exchange, and in today’s episode, I break down what those are, plus a couple of bonus ones.

What do you feel like is totally out of reach for you, and why? Maybe it’s hosting an event, launching a product, or adding on another service to your line up, but regardless of what arena you’re in, my number one piece of advice is to start small and scale from there.

Fear is the number one reason why people don’t take the first step to pursue their calling. For some, it's fear of failure or being judged, and for others, it looks like perfectionism or imposter syndrome.

Challenges come up to test our strength and dedication to our dream, and what you do in those moments reveal you who you really are. There’s so much knowledge, joy, and success on the other side of those hard times, but are you willing to put in the work to make it there?

We’ve finally had some time to really reflect about our vacation to the Amalfi Coast and want to share some of our biggest takeaways from the trip. Our friend Rob Murgatroyd curated so many beautiful experiences as part of his Work Hard Play Hard Mastermind and we were able to really soak up the Italian culture, art, food, and fashion. We talk about getting clarity on how we’re going to balance the joy and production containers of our lives, and our commitment to making time for new, enriching experiences in our week.    We learned about the Italian saying “Dolce Far Niente,” which means the sweetness of doing nothing, observing beauty, and enjoying life in the moment. Chris and I want to take time to be more present in our everyday lives and worry less about things that we don’t have control over. This trip proved to us that a vacation doesn't have to be just a moment in time一we can extend this sense of peace and wonder into our everyday lives.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Examples of how Italians value both form and function, and beauty for beauty’s sake  Why we’re cutting off work at 1PM on Fridays for the next few months  Applying deeper meaning to our beautiful life together and taking away the power that stress has  Finding magic in connection and conversation when business isn’t the main topic  The benefits of getting out of your environment and day-to-day comfort zone    RESOURCES Blue Mind by Wallace J.

Lauren and I are talking about times in our lives when we were really manifesting something and it didn’t turn out the way we imagined it, but we’re so glad it happened that way because there was something even better on the other side. Lauren tells the story of how she landed at Lite Pink and realized that her entrepreneurial dream can happen inside someone else’s (aka mine!). We talk about the importance of creating a safe space for your employees to explore their passions and be honest about their career goals, which is something I learned the hard way. I share more about my journey to getting on fitness magazine covers and the breakthrough that I made about why I wasn’t being chosen by editors.

Our recent trip to Italy is the perfect metaphor for wanting something versus deciding to do something. Chris and I break down the layers of decision that it took for us to actually follow through and take this vacation, plus something really valuable that we learned from our friends about deciding to have a good life. We think it's important to put markers in your year and create memorable experiences for yourself, even if it’s something local. Listen in to hear our reflections about our time on the Amalfi Coast and how we’re committing to getting outside of our element at least once a week from now on.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The difference between wanting a good life and deciding to have a good life Why things will never slow down unless you plan for them to slow down Surrounding yourself with positive reinforcements to solidify your decisions Practicing integrity and following through with your decisions Budget-friendly ideas for how to get outside of your normal life RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

I’m joined by brand expert, educator, podcaster, and now author Julie Solomon. Julie’s book Get What You Want: How to Go From Unseen to Unstoppable is all about stepping into your power and cracking open so you can shine and fulfill your ultimate purpose. Julie and I discuss how to show up authentically online while still respecting your own boundaries, and learning how to share from a scar, not a wound. We’ve both done a lot of work to overcome limiting beliefs that we had about money, and Julie shares a really powerful story about how she worked through the deep shame that she had around her secret debt.

I wanted to have a conversation with Chris about what’s really going on in this uncertain economy, what he thinks is coming in the future, and how we can prepare ourselves so that we don’t experience a repeat of 2008/2009 when we had to start over from scratch. So many of us are scarred from The Great Recession, but the reality is that the majority of news outlets rely on fear mongering techniques, which just make people freeze in fear. In today's episode, Chris explains how we’ve ended up in this rapid inflation situation, why a recession is usually a self-fulfilling prophecy, and three ways that you can bulletproof yourself for whatever’s coming down the pipeline.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Navigating negative propaganda about the economy  Debunking myths about economic recessions  Taking a critical look at your monthly spending habits  Ideas for how to create a new income stream Why we always suggest having a 12 month reserve in your savings account  The single thing that will set us apart from having another ‘08/’09 situation    RESOURCES Text BULLETPROOF to 310-421-0416 to get VIP early access to Chris’s new course.  Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

Stef breaks down the different fundraising options available for entrepreneurs and what to do when you’re feeling lost in a conversation where people are using industry jargon.

My friend and incredible entrepreneur Kim Perell coined the term ‘the execution factor' and it’s a concept that I’ve been coming back to a lot lately. I’ve realized that the reason why so many of us don’t execute on our desires and purpose is because we're not clear on what we actually want. We have too many things on our plate and we haven't learned how to set up our schedule  and make time for the actions that actually move the needle. When I’m feeling stuck, I ask myself what is one thing I could do right now that would start to give me a sense of purpose and make me feel like I’m moving forward? In today’s episode, I share my accountability game plan and how I tune back into my goals when I’m feeling out of alignment.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How I feel when I’m not making progress on my goals  My plan to make sure that I hit all my writing deadlines for my upcoming book  Discovering different areas of your life where you might need to make a small adjustment so that you stay on track  Staying focused when your to-do list feels overwhelming    RESOURCES Big shout out to Avast for supporting Earn Your Happy.

One of the biggest questions that I get asked is why we chose the direct-to-consumer (DTC) route instead of getting on the shelves of major retailers. In today’s episode, Lauren and I talk about the benefits of being DTC, how we collect data and insights about our customer base, and how we’ve harnessed the power of social media to build the Lite Pink brand before we even launch. Being able to connect to our followers and build relationships in the DMs has been an invaluable tool, especially with all the delays we’re facing. We discuss how to convert social media comments into sales and create a community of people who truly align with your brand. We also share our major takeaways from working in new and uncertain environments.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Exciting Lite Pink updates  Learning that you can still move forward and make decisions even when you don’t have all the answers  How social media has helped us generate buzz and create the identity of Lite Pink  The advantages and challenges of both DTC and launching in retail  Creating organic reach on social media    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

Chris and I talk about some ways that we’ve been switching up our energy, doing things that make us grow, and setting us up for success when it comes to reaching our goals.

An industry disruptor and a woman making waves in a male dominated industry, she is a highly educated woman juggling parenting while running a leading spirits company, creating a brand that goes beyond just whiskey. Skrewball is a lifestyle that is welcoming to all manner of weirdo, maverick and misfit that brings people together in a world of uncertainty. When Yeng isn’t taking over the spirits industry one bottle at a time, she enjoys spending time with her daughters and getting off the grid while traveling to far remote places with her family.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to The Big Leap audiobook, but something new really sticks out to me each time I go back to it. I’ve been thinking a lot about Gay Hendricks’ concept of ‘Upper Limiting’ when you are about to step a giant step into something bigger. That’s when all of the inner saboteurs, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs come back in. I’ve realized that in order to quiet those voices, I need to fully immerse myself in my goal. I share how this idea has shown up in my religious childhood, my fitness competition years, my time in network marketing, and now as I’m getting ready to launch Lite Pink. I talk about ways that I’ve safe-guarded myself to stay on track and build the mental strength that it takes to make those quantum leaps to my dreams.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How to make sure that we’re always walking on the path of purpose  What it looks like to be fully immersed in things that light you up Creating an environment that supports your growth  Confronting the areas of your where you’re self-sabotaging    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

Does your current routine match the standards that it takes to hit your life goals? What about your environment and the people that you surround yourself with? Chris and I have been noticing that there are gaps between where we want to be and where we currently are, and we’re discussing the tangible ways that we’re closing those gaps. I realized that I was giving myself a lot of space for excuses by working from home, so I’ve switched up my workflow and I’ve already noticed a major difference in my productivity.

I’ve recently switched up my routine to get back some energy and excitement when it comes to work, so I wanted to share with you some simple ways to infuse more joy into your workday. I talk about discovering new places to work out of, setting up reward systems, and giving yourself parameters for when you’re online versus out enjoying life.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: New shared workspace models that I love  Why it’s so important to set a start and stop time for your workday  Things that are helping me be more productive  Really recharging when I’m not working so that I can be fully present when I am    RESOURCES Thanks a Little Passports for supporting my show.

One of the consistent themes that I notice with the amazing entrepreneurs that I have on this show is their ability to confront their fears and believe that they’re truly meant for more than the status quo. Lauren and I are reflecting on that, plus talking about how we’ve learned to empower each other and play bigger with Lite Pink. We discuss learning how to fail forward, what it takes to expand your network, and how to create a work environment where employees feel supported to take risks. I share how I’ve helped Lauren build up her confidence and grow from an assistant to an A Player. We also touch on the role that mortality plays in our drive to create this legacy-building company.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What has helped me step up to the challenges of launching Lite Pink  Detaching from feelings of self-doubt and unworthiness  Connecting with people who are going to support you in upleveling  Qualities that separate an A Player from a B or C Player  Why leading from fear isn’t an effective and sustainable way to run a business    RESOURCES The 5 Second Rule: Transform your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage by Mel Robbins  Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

We’re joined by our good friend Lindsey Schwartz of Powerhouse Women for today’s He Said, She Said! We each share one moment or event of expansiveness when we did something that felt either scary or irresponsible or unreasonable, but it became this moment that radically upleveled us. I talk about how back in 2009 when we were starting over again from scratch, Chris and I rented an apartment in a ritzy building in Minneapolis, even though it was tiny and out of our comfortable budget range. We wanted to be around people who were at the level we wanted to be at, and over our 18 months of living there, we made it happen. Lindsey talks about her decision to attend her first mastermind event and how she learned to make decisions based on what her future self would do. Plus, Chris touches on his decision to go all-in on his FinTech company and partner with someone who can help him get to his $100 million goal.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Getting yourself into the environments where people are at the level you want to be at  Evaluating who you’re sharing your ideas with  How to make the most out of networking events  Asking bold questions and being transparent about numbers  How to know when you’re dreaming big enough  Why it’s good to sometimes feel like the least experienced person in the room    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

Fiercely committed to supporting other women, Lindsey invests her time in mentoring women and girls of all ages—from high achieving entrepreneurs to high school students. She’s also an investor in female-founded companies including beverage brand Lite Pink.   After seeing numerous women in her life stop short of pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams because of fear and self-doubt, she saw the need for more honest conversations about the ups & downs of entrepreneurship in order to show women that they don’t have to have it all together to get started. From there, the Powerhouse Women community, annual event, and podcast were born, with the motto that we're not meant to do business (or life) alone! 

If you’ve listened to any of our recent He Said, She Said episodes, then you know that Chris and I are super into NFTs and investing in the Web3 space. There’s so much buzz around this next stage of the internet that I wanted to invite one of the leading women in cryptocurrency onto the show to break down the basics of NFTs. Lisa Mayer is an entrepreneur and philanthropist who is the founder and CEO of Boss Beauties, a women-led global initiative that creates opportunities for girls and women through cutting-edge collaborations.

Born and raised in CT on a small family farm, it was there where she first learned about entrepreneurship and the value of hard work. After working for edtech startups early on in her career, Lisa left the Silicon Valley scene to pursue her passion to help elevate young women through mentorship and social entrepreneurship. In 2012, with this vision she created My Social Canvas. Lisa’s mission to equip young women with mentorship programs has impacted thousands of high school and college-aged girls all over the world spanning across 15 countries and over 400 educational institutions. Her work has been featured in Forbes, ELLE, on Bloomberg Live, and through Women@Apple a division of Apple’s Diversity Network Association. In 2021, after spending 10 years helping to educate the next-gen of women and girls, Lisa launched Boss Beauties. The company is an extension of the same passion and goals she has championed for over a decade.  The company’s first initiative tackled the male dominated NFT space and is one of the few female led NFT projects to date.  Boss Beauties’ first NFT collection of 10,000 unique digital portraits capturing independent and diverse women sold out in its first hour becoming the first ever NFT collection to be displayed at the New York Stock Exchange. Reese Witherspoon, Eva Longoria, and Olympian Allyson Felix are among some of the celebrities who own pieces. In addition, Boss Beauties was also featured on the Nasdaq Tower for International Day of the Girl.  A portion of proceeds from NFT sales go back to supporting their work mentoring young women worldwide.  Lisa continues to fight to improve the lives of future generations of women through mentorship activations and collaborations such as Rolling Stone, Neiman Marcus, Hugo Boss, Mattel and more to be announced in 2022.  Lisa currently resides in NYC with her husband and Boss Beauties Co-Founder Anthony and their son Hudson.

We’re answering listener questions today about how to prepare for the unknown, what it’s like to go from concept to launch, and simple ways to get noticed by the people that inspire you. I explain how I do my ‘if this, then that’ exercise to be more solution-oriented and take action instead of sitting in the surprise. Lauren and I discuss what goes into a pitch deck, when we think it’s better to bootstrap vs. raise startup money, and how to make strategic hires that can help bring your vision to life and protect your energy. We also share how we’ve gotten into the rooms that stretch and inspire us, and our tips for how to expand into bigger networks.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How we’ve learned to expect the unexpected  Being grateful for challenges  Reflecting on how you handle rejection  What a ‘minimum run’ is and how to figure that number out  How to connect with leaders who are in the industry that you want to be in    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

When you’re at an event and you notice that someone is clearly not having a good time, what’s your reaction? If you’re anything like I used to be, you would take yourself out of the fun and try and shift that person’s energy, solve their problems, and ultimately, bring your own mood down. This might be a major wakeup call for some of you who don’t even realize that you’re doing this and fall into patterns of feeling responsible for other people’s emotions. When you start to take full ownership over your own feelings and reactions, that is one of the most powerful places that you can be in. This is a lifetime practice, but I’m sharing some tips on how I’ve been able to implement this in my life and the major changes that I’ve seen as a result of shifting out of my people-pleasing tendencies.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why you can only be responsible for your own emotions and reactions  What tends to happen when you try to control the energy in a room How to be friendly while also maintaining your boundaries  Reflecting on why you might fall into these patterns  Overcoming the potential discomfort that can come with this practice    RESOURCES Thanks to Storyworth for supporting Earn Your Happy.

We’ve been getting alot of DMs about how we keep track of and organize our ideas, plans, and projects. Lauren and I are diving in on the tech systems that we use, how we prioritize tasks, and why we keep things as simple and user-friendly as possible. It might surprise people to hear that we rely on Google Drive for just about everything, but Lauren is a master at building out progress trackers and dashboards that keep everyone dialed in on what they need to be doing. She also is great at keeping tabs on bigger-picture items. I share how I personally organize the notes section on my phone, and why it’s so important to sit with your ideas for a little bit instead of sharing every single thought with your team. We also highlight why it’s so important to niche down and start with a very focused vision, even when you have big dreams for your company.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Figuring out which ideas are worth pursuing, and which ones can be put on the back burner How we keep track of contacts who have offered help or a favor in the past  Learning how to become more organized as an ideator  Our flagging process with emails  Limiting distractions within our workflows and systems  Integrating Simon Sinek’s Start With Why approach   Simplifying our opt-in plan    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

Chris and I had this moment on our walk through our new neighborhood in Newport where we realized that we’re building the life that we always dreamed of. We want to share the formula that we’ve used to get here, and even though it’ll look different for everyone, these tips can help you get to where you want to be no matter where that is. Not only do you have to have outlandish and legacy-building dreams, but you have to surround yourself with people who have the same mindset. You’re going to bump up against family and friends who think that you’re going against their lifestyle, but it’s important to remind yourself that you’re becoming the best version of yourself. You also have to be willing to make investments that stretch you, whether it’s in yourself through programs and mentors, or your finances through stocks and assets.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What we do to keep our dreams alive everyday  The struggles of going against family patterns Addressing people who told us we were getting caught up in the ‘California lifestyle’  Choosing to hold yourself to higher standards and bigger dreams  Why you can’t reach your goals by playing it safe    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

There’s one thing that I’ve been able to pinpoint as a thread throughout all my success and any of the larger amounts of money that I've been able to make: I put myself into the rooms where the conversation was happening, where the bigger money was being made, and where the other people were winning. Whether it was fitness competitions, network marketing, selling personal development courses, and now launching Lite Pink, it’s all because I surrounded myself with people who would push me to pursue my big dreams.

I feel so lucky that Lauren and I are aligned with our workflows and are able to maximize our energy, prioritize self care, and still make major progress with building Lite Pink.

Chris and I have noticed this big cultural shift from the hustle and grind mindset to letting things flow and take their natural course. Which one is better? Like most things, I think it’s best to exist somewhere in the middle of the two extremes. We talk about learning how to hustle with boundaries, giving yourself at least one day a week to be present, and practicing intentional planning. There are moments and seasons when you’re going to have to give it your all, but recognize that you and your team need time to recharge afterwards.

I’ve definitely been guilty of deciding on something and then not fully committing to it, and let me tell you, it’s not a good feeling. Now, once I decide on something, I attach someone and something to it. I have an accountability partner and put my money where my mouth is, literally and figuratively. I’m sharing why making true commitments are so important and a few tools that I rely on when life comes at me and I’m really tempted to sell out my dream.

Lauren and I are back with another BTS of building a business from the ground up! We’re talking all about female investors and building strategic partnerships.

Chris just hosted one of his weekend Elite Mastermind group sessions and we both feel so recharged from the amazing guest speakers and talented people who were in that room. I share something that executive life coach Adrian Koehler said, which is, “What do you know for sure that you spend way too much time trying to prove is false?” It made me think about where my decision making is coming from and how to lead from a place of trust.    Chris was really impacted by what Dan Fleischman, a genius marketer, had to say about people waiting for this ‘bubble’ to pop. With all of the resources and advances in technology that we’ve seen since 2010, there’s no way we’re going to have a repeat of the mid-2000s recession.

The idea is that you need no less than 40% and no more than 70% of the available information to make a good choice.
