Happy New Year and welcome to 2020! The new year is always a time of reflection and over the last few weeks, I’ve been looking back on 2019 and everything that has happened in my personal life and my business in the last year - the good, the bad, the ugly, and the incredible. I’ve seen so much growth across the board, and accomplished a lot, but not without some growing pains and bumps in the road.

As I’ve been scaling my business this year, I’ve had to make some hard decisions, have some tough conversations, and had to work some crazy (and frankly, unhealthy) hours... and it’s all been worth it. I love what I do - this is not a hobby, it’s my life. And one of the biggest themes I’ve noticed is that when you’re a business owner, it’s all about learning, applying, evaluating, and repeating.

I’ll be recording an episode where I dig deeper into the biggest lessons I’ve learned from these experiences (and also what I’ve learned in the last DECADE - yes, it’s a new decade too!), but today, I want to share with you my vision for 2020, and how I see you having a part in it!

On this solo episode, I share with you my biggest business focus in 2020 and what I’m most looking forward to this year. I know I’ve been teasing the Beta for the Beyond Influential Insiders Membership... and it’s finally here! I’ll dig into what that looks like, why the founding members are so important to me, and what I’ll be offering them as a special Thank You.

Registration for the beta opens Monday, January 6th, but only for a limited time. Also, for this week’s episode, I created a new FREEBIE for you. Listen to this week’s episode for more details about both!

#105 And the Most Popular Interview of 2019 Is…Lauryn Evarts Bosstick of The Skinny Confidential!

1 Recommendations

How is it almost 2020 already?! I wanted to give you an update - I have been hard at work creating the beta content for the Insiders membership. This time of year is always a time for reflection so my first training will be digging into the biggest business lessons I’ve learned this year and how I’m applying them in 2020.

And there were a lot... 2019 was a year of intense learning for me and I want to share those experiences with you and then give you the opportunity to ask questions in a Live Q&A. And don’t worry, I’m not shying away from sharing those lessons and hard times on the podcast, but this is the type of topic I can really dive deeper into inside the Beyond Influential Insiders community - this is the place where it will be easier to have conversations around it with each other.

As I mentioned, for the beta, there will also be a lot of me getting to know you and what you need so we can build this community together - it’s going to be a choose-your-own-adventure experience. This is a little bit of a spoiler alert, but here’s a teaser: my business coach, who really specializes in the unsexy but necessary side of business (things like legal, the operations, and hiring process type stuff), is putting together a training on “The 6 most common questions entrepreneurs ask” based on his experience. I’ve been working with him on it and I want the last two questions to come from this group because based on what you do and what you need, the answers to those questions change.

And you definitely don’t need (or have to want) to be an entrepreneur to get the benefit of this knowledge. Your personal brand is a business and you need to be building it no matter what you do, so all the content in there will be helpful. It really is dependent on you!

Having a place to directly speak to you is a nonnegotiable for me in 2020 and I’m incredibly excited to get started!

Again, if you want to get more information, you can find it HERE, and if you’re already signed up for the waitlist, keep an eye on your email because we will be starting very soon!

And now for most popular interview of the year... it was #63 with Lauryn Evarts Bosstick of The Skinny Confidential on Evolving from Blogger to Businesswoman & How to Build an Empire on Authentic Influence. I wanted to repost this episode because if you haven’t heard it, you need to hear it and if you have heard it, it’s time to listen again before 2020.

I’m going to leave in my original intro to the show because it all is still true. I’m so grateful for Lauryn’s friendship and support of my brand. Lauryn continues to one of my favorite examples of people who just understands brand and her audience.

And also, side note: Congratulations to her and her husband Michael (who I interviewed on Episode #62 - the Business of Podcasting: Monetization, Growth & Influencers) - not just for their deserved success, but also for their exciting news - they are expecting a baby girl in the coming weeks! So congrats you two! I can’t wait to watch her brand evolve as she enters this new phase in her life and business because I know she’s going to navigate it in the most boss way possible.

So please enjoy the most popular Beyond Influential interview of 2019 with truly one of the masters of brand, Lauryn Evarts Bosstick.

#107 Easy Workspace Tweaks That All Entrepreneurs Should Make with Melissa Steach, PhD, of Herman Miller

Raise your hand if you’ve ever sat down to work and the next thing you know, it’s five hours later and you haven’t moved from your chair.

Yeah, me too.

Lately I’ve been noticing the physical side effects of hustle life, so I’ve been looking at ways to optimize and invest in my health (which is really an investment in my business).

Tweaks as simple as changing how you sit and what you’re sitting on (turns out a chair isn’t just a chair) actually makes a huge difference to your body when you’re putting in those long hours... which is why I am redesigning my home office to make sure I have a set up that supports me and my goals!

And I’m fortunate to have a friend who specializes in exactly that.

I have an incredible guest for you on this week’s episode of Beyond Influential. I want to introduce you to Melissa Steach PhD, Workplace Wellbeing Knowledge Lead, West U.S. & West Canada region for Herman Miller. Melissa has a PhD in industrial-organizational psychology, and is a certified ergonomist. She’s also a best-selling author and an award-winning fine artist.

Melissa supports and consults with Herman Miller’s clients on the latest workplace wellbeing research and knowledge that businesses need to know. She joins me for this episode to talk all things ergonomics, office furniture, and most importantly, actionable tips that will help you improve your physical working experience, whether you’re an employee in an office or an entrepreneur working remotely.

We cover:

What ergonomics is and why it matters
Herman Miller’s human-first approach to design & how they’ve stayed an iconic brand for over 100+ years
How to evaluate your workspace and the right questions to ask–whether you work from home, office, or remotely!
Best practices when you sit to work (Yes, how you sit is important!)
What to look at when picking office furniture & why it’s worth investing in high-quality pieces
The small tweaks in your workspace you can make TODAY
And more!
