Fashionably Lean

11/19/2022

When we work with our clients to define their metrics for success, we always include one around fulfillment and fun.

Because while achieving goals and revenue targets is important, HOW you achieve them is just as important as IF you achieve them.

There’s a big difference between being so flipping exhausted and burnt out by the time you achieve a goal that you barely appreciate it, vs. enjoying the journey and making space for fun along the way.

We have some other important metrics we recommend inside Simplify to Scale Ops Academy (doors reopen again soon!) that ensure a full both inside and outside of business.

I’d love to hear - what do you measure that keeps you focused on what matters most in your business?

And what are you doing for fun this weekend? I’m giving my office a refresh and starting a new puzzle. 🧩

So many incredible takeaways from Day 1!

Here were some of my favorite statements from and the other incredible women in the room:

“Transformation doesn’t happen when you’re checking emails.”

“What do you say when your dreams have come true?”

“Most of our problems and even our pain has come from trying to do business normally.”

“How many hours of the day do you spend feeling the way you want to feel?”

“What got us here is interfering with what’s going to get us there.”

“We’re always moving in the direction of our genius if we’re tuning in.”

“You can’t receive when you’re trying to control.”

“When you compromise and get helpless in your own company, you compromise your vision.”

“How good am I willing to feel?”

I can’t wait for day 2 tomorrow!

Sometimes you just need a different perspective…

One of the things I find so valuable about chatting with your or coach is the outside-in perspective that allows them to see the things it can be hard for you to see yourself.

Sometimes a simple question of “couldn’t you do this instead?” is all it takes to dramatically simplify what you’re doing or accelerate your results.

If you are looking for an outside-in perspective on your business, I just opened up 3 VIP Strategy Days between now and the end of the year.

Your choice of in-person or via Zoom.

DM me for details. 💕

What are you focused on this week to reach your goals for Q4?

10/22/2022

Highlight reel vs. highlight real - how much do you share on social media?

I had an interesting conversation with someone this week about what you should and shouldn’t share on social media when you want to ensure you’re being authentic.

This week was a really challenging one for me.

Aside from existing commitments, I found myself taking time away from being online and meeting with people. I needed the space.

When I met with my friend, she could immediately tell that something was “off” which led to our conversation about transparency and authenticity online.

While I think the answer is different for everyone, here are my thoughts I shared with her:

🛑 I think it’s inauthentic to make things appear better than they are or to blatantly lie about something, especially if it’s being done in order to sell something. That’s just manipulation and shady af - yuck!

But assuming positive intent, what do you share when you're having a challenging week or rough experience?

I think that's purely up to the individual but here is what feels right to me:

✅ I think it can be beneficial to share when things aren't always 🌈 + 🦄 - there is far too much highlight reel and unrealistic and unattainable expectations being set online

🤔 But I don’t think you need to share the intimate details of everything that doesn’t go well or that upsets you - personally or professionally

Those details are between you and the person / people and it's not in good taste to throw someone else under the bus.

🤔 I also don't think the things you share should be to elicit sympathy or stir up drama. At the end of the day, what you post is about your audience, not you, when you are posting to a business account.

So what do you share?

I love to look for the silver lining in every experience and share:

🔹 Lessons learned or takeaways
🔹 How you're working through it
🔹 How someone could avoid a similar experience
🔹 Perspective shifts due to the experience

I'd love to hear your thoughts on what to post and what not to.

Just wow! My today after an incredible and transformational 3 days together for the !

I am always amazed how with every event I lead, it’s somehow always exactly the right people at the right time who come together.

I am so in awe of the incredible women who joined me this week and of their willingness to support one another, to be vulnerable, and to be open to reimagining how they think about and achieve their next level of success and scale.

I’m also so impressed with how quickly they took action on the strategies we discussed and the plans they defined - as in the same day!

Each day there were shares of how they already implemented what we discussed. Total rockstars! 👏

I am so excited for the year ahead for each of them!! 💕

I am enjoying one final day in AZ - poolside of course! - to relax and reflect before heading back home.

How are you wrapping up the week?
