Happy Productive with Jennifer Dawn: Where Business Success Meets Personal Fulfillment

We get the same the same coaching questions that come up every single week which I feel apply to SO many people. I want to address them here in the podcast.

In this week’s episode of Happy Productive I talk about the idea “it’s so easy for everyone else but not for me”. Ever been there or had that thought? I know I have.

So let’s discuss how to address this and how to combat these negative and disempowering thoughts.

We hope you've found today's episode of the Happy Productive Podcast inspiring. Every successful business is formed by a set of small, consistent, and attainable steps.

True fulfillment and success in business come from doing the inner work. Tony Wang is a business coach that helps leaders tackle their inner work so they can achieve a more meaningful and fulfilling version of success. The journey to success is so much more than material goods, and without healing our inner wounds, we can never truly feel fulfilled.

Real fulfillment and happiness come from having a positive mindset and deep emotional awareness, and tactical achievements will never feel as good without it. If you are struggling with inner wounds and your emotional health is affecting your ability to run your business, find a coach, healer or therapist to help you accelerate your journey. You don't have to suffer alone, you can break through to the next level and find real fulfillment and a renewed love for life!

🔵 Tony is a business coach and mentor who helps business leaders and entrepreneurs redesign their thoughts, emotions, and beliefs to create a more fulfilling life: Tony helps his clients overcome their negative mental patterns and unconscious self-sabotaging patterns to achieve more success and happiness. 01:56
🌱 Fulfillment doesn't come from the outside - it comes from the inside: plant medicines helped Tony go through his inner work. 07:37
🟡 Healing wounds is part of business achievements: the journey of accomplishment, success, and spirituality are the same. 10:26
❗ Imposter syndrome and procrastination are the most common problems Tony's clients face: when you feel resistance, be aware of your emotional state as you think about the problem. 12:39
🧡 Feel what you're feeling, but don't add that second layer of junk on top of it: the truest level of freedom is on the emotional side. 16:40
◽ We are the way we are to fulfill the goals of our identity: we have 1000s of identities that we're shifting through, depending on our goals. 20:19
🟣 In the beginning, getting a coach will speed up your progress: as you gain more awareness, you can start doing more self-inner work. 23:37

How can you expect to be hired as an expert if you don’t want to hire experts yourself? Jeffrey Shaw is the founder of Self-Employed Business Institute and coaches entrepreneurs, so they can spend more time doing what they are great at and focus on building the life of their dreams. When starting the entrepreneurial journey, it is common for business owners to get stuck in the trap of working on marketing, building their business, and having little time to do what they are great at, and what makes them money. The key to getting out of the trap is getting a new perspective because it's difficult to see the label that your business needs when you are so far inside the jar. When you invest in the services of others, you can fast-track the development and growth of your business and focus on doing more of what makes you money, and more of what you love. Don't try to be an expert on everything, hire a coach and get the nudge you need to build the life of your dreams!

🥚 Jeffrey began his entrepreneurial experience selling eggs door to door when he was 14 years old: rewards are greater than fears. 01:52
📸 After 25 years in a very successful photography business, Jeffery started coaching: no one taught his clients to make money from their talents and skills. 04:17
❗ The rule of thirds trap - you end up spending a third of your time running your business, a third of your time marketing to get the business, and only a third of your time doing what makes money. 08:38
🤗 What is “Hug Marketing”: a different marketing approach. 11:25
❌ There's no silver bullet, and it's not one size fits all: thinking like that is disrespecting the diversity of the world. 14:42
🫙 Being in the jar: engage with experts to help and nudge you because no one goes into business and immediately has that nailed down - the real sweet spot is 2–5 years. 17:31
🌼 Why 55-60-year-olds leave their corporate job: they are wise enough to realize they don't want to spend forever figuring stuff out. 21:39
📈 The problem of silo-minded business owners: everyone needs a coach, you can’t do all things yourself - you are not an expert in everything. 25:42
🕯️ Be willing to reinvest in what you want to get in return: packaging trick from Bergdorf Goodman’s store. 29:04
🌌 The universe will listen if you put yourself on a limb. 31:43

I’m spending extra time on overwhelm and getting it out of the picture in our lives because when you feel overwhelmed, stretched, stressed each day, there’s no space for you.

What I mean by this is when there’s no space, you won’t feel motivated to change your life – you are stuck in just surviving each day – you may not have the energy to care about your health, or pursue your hobbies or interests – when there’s no space and people ask you for things you may find yourself getting angry or defensive, or reacting in a way that’s kind of unpleasant to be around... then you feel guilty or shameful, beat yourself up and the process keeps repeating.

It’s so important to eliminate this state of overwhelm from your life so you can create the space you need to bring in the fun stuff like love, joy, laughter, and patience, compassion, understanding, gratitude. When you are in a constant state of busy, rush, hurry, survive the day, I have no idea what to do next, all those really wonderful feelings and emotions you WANT to be feeling get pushed to the side.

In this episode I'll also share my Brain Dump exercise and how to start asking Power Questions
