19:31In this special solo episode of Bold Conscious Connections , I’m breaking tradition by showing up without a guest. Why? Because consistency matters more than waiting for perfect conditions. With just six weeks left in 2024, I’m sharing the key takeaways from my recent webinar on the Seven-Week MAP—Momentum, Accountability, and Purpose. If you’re ready to finish the year strong and propel yourself into a meaningful 2025, grab a notebook and tune in. Let’s align, reflect, and take action together. Key Highlights: Momentum: Small, Consistent Steps Drive Big Results Momentum isn’t about giant leaps; it’s built through small, purposeful actions each day. Reflection exercise: What went well for you in 2024? What didn’t go as planned? How did this year feel overall? The power of showing up daily—even for just 15 minutes. Accountability: The Anchor to Keep You Moving Without accountability, motivation fades. Entrepreneurs, in particular, must build their own systems. Ideas for accountability: find a partner, hire a coach, or use visual trackers like charts or journals. Public commitments can also serve as a powerful motivator. Purpose: The Force That Propels Everything Purpose gives meaning to our actions. Without it, tasks feel empty and uninspiring. Ask yourself: Why does this goal matter to you, to those you serve, and why now? Purpose isn’t just the result; it’s about who you become during the process. Action Plan for the Next Six Weeks: Choose one high-impact goal to focus on before 2025. Break it down into manageable weekly milestones. Create accountability systems and reconnect with your purpose daily. Notable Quotes: “Momentum isn’t built on bursts; it’s built through steady, purposeful action.” “Purpose isn’t about the end result—it’s about who you become in the process.” “Reflection is the first step to building momentum because it gives you clarity on where you’re starting from.” Reflection Exercises: What went well for you in 2024? What didn’t go as planned, and what lessons can you learn? How did 2024 feel overall? (Fulfilled? Stuck? Growing?)

From transitioning out of corporate roles to managing the daily demands of entrepreneurship, this episode offers valuable insights for anyone navigating the entrepreneurial path. Key Highlights: Navigating the Transition: Challenges of Leaving Corporate Life: The shift from a structured corporate environment to the entrepreneurial world involves redefining one’s daily routine, creating self-imposed structures, and prioritizing effectively without external constraints. Building from the Ground Up: Establishing a business requires a clear vision and strategic planning, from defining service offerings to understanding the market's needs and creating a sustainable business model. Financial Foundations: Pricing with Purpose: Setting the right price for services is not just about market rates but about recognizing and communicating the true value offered. The discussion covers strategies for confidently pricing services and managing financial challenges as the business evolves. Financial Planning: Entrepreneurs must balance reinvesting in their business with personal financial needs, especially during different life stages. The importance of financial discipline and planning is emphasized as a key to long-term sustainability. The Role of Community and Support: Building a Support Network: Finding a community of like-minded entrepreneurs and mentors can provide critical support and guidance.

You learn as you go through different experiences." 🎤 "You have to be very intentional as an entrepreneur because you don't have someone necessarily dictating your time." 🎤 "People don't pay for what you think they need; they pay for what they want. You have to solve the problem they are willing to pay for." 🎤 "The reality is, you have to be okay with yourself and not beat yourself up when things don’t go as planned because entrepreneurship is about pivoting and flexing." 🎤 "It's about starting small. Begin with what is out there that somebody is willing to pay for."

37:46In this exclusive episode, I had yet another chance to host Henrik De Gyor, a renowned consultant, podcaster, author, and speaker. Known for his pioneering work in remote entrepreneurship, Henrik shares pivotal moments that defined his journey and the bold decisions that shaped his approach to remote work long before it became a global necessity. { Note: If you are interested in my chat with Henrik about AI from 18 months ago , go to Episode # 51, here } Key Highlights: 1. Early Adoption of Remote Work: Henrik De Gyor started working remotely as early as 2000, well before the widespread adoption triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. His early experiences in journalism required him to work on-site for stories, but he filed reports remotely, marking the beginning of his remote work journey. 2. The Impact of COVID-19: The pandemic accelerated the shift to remote work, forcing businesses to adapt quickly. While some companies resisted initially, the necessity of remote work demonstrated its feasibility and benefits, despite ongoing resistance to return-to-office mandates. 3. Productivity and Collaboration: Henrik emphasizes that remote work does not hinder productivity or collaboration. The real challenge lies in the justification for maintaining expensive commercial real estate and traditional office politics. Remote work reduces commuting times, travel expenses, and unnecessary in-person meetings, leading to more efficient operations. 4. Building a Remote Company Culture: Fostering a strong remote company culture is possible with the right strategies. Effective communication, scheduling, and the use of proper tools are crucial. Henrik highlights the importance of respecting time zones and standardized tools to ensure smooth operations and team cohesion. 5. Adapting Leadership Styles: Leadership in a remote environment requires adjustments and new skills. Henrik stresses the importance of communication, tool proficiency, and learning. Leaders must be willing to ask for help, learn new technologies, and set clear expectations and follow-ups to ensure accountability and trust. 6. Overcoming Challenges: Henrik discusses common challenges such as tool standardization and inter-departmental communication. Overcoming these challenges involves selecting the right tools, consolidating systems, and ensuring clear communication across the organization. 7. Future of Work Models: Henrik predicts that remote work will continue to grow, especially as the commercial real estate market faces potential downturns. While hybrid models will exist, the trend will lean more towards remote work, driven by the benefits of flexibility and efficiency. 8. Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs: For entrepreneurs, Henrik advises leveraging remote work to optimize resources and talent. He suggests using cloud-based tools and avoiding unnecessary office expenses. Embracing remote work can lead to significant cost savings and access to a global talent pool. Notable Quotes: 🎤 " Remote work does not hamper productivity or collaboration at all . What it does hamper is the justification for commercial real estate spend ." 🎤 "If most secure environments -- and let's talk government --military can do this remotely, we can too." 🎤 " The real challenge is not remote work itself, but the resistance to adapt and evolve office cultures and leadership styles ."
