Today’s episode is part II to episode #149, Trusting Your Intuition. Feel free to listen to the episodes in any order but do listen to them both as they work hand-in-hand!

Have you ever stepped into a room and the hairs on your arms stood up straight? Something in your body was warning you about the situation you walked into. You weren’t able to quite explain why you felt that way, but you knew it was best to trust that gut feeling.

Because so many of you are out and traveling over the holiday season, we do not have a regular episode of the podcast today. However, I did want to bring you a bonus episode, which is a rerun of one that aired about two years ago at this time and is related to creating a vision board. I am such a huge proponent for vision boards, and I’ve seen them work for me and my clients, time and time again. In fact, my vision board is framed in my office, and I look at it every single day! When you finish your vision board, I would love for you to take a photo of it and tag me on social media (I’m @heatherjoyhubbard on both Instagram and Facebook).

When you first hear the word, “storytelling”, you may automatically assume the reference is to an exaggeration of a narrative. Expert storyteller coach, Mike Ganino, debunks this common misconception as he further explains storytelling through business use. Mike’s journey didn’t begin in his current field of coaching clients on how and why to tell stories, but through various careers in areas of hospitality, improv, culture coaching, speaking and more, where he has gained invaluable experience in the power of a story. Through storytelling, Mike discusses how he helps his clients learn to provide factual information by adding life and emotion to the process so that people will more accurately remember the information. In this episode you will learn: • How Mike Ganino has used the classic “yes, and” taught in improv to transition and advance his career over the past 20 years • Find out how Mike’s business has matured over the years and how Mike began working as an expert in storytelling • Hear how Taylor Swift’

Join me as I kick off Life & Law LIVE in Miami with women representing 26 different states and 2 countries. I dive into the challenges we all face as we quickly approach the new year. We are hard wired to make change in our lives, yet many of us are so consumed with the end-goal of change that we forget to enjoy the journey. You may wonder why you can’t be satisfied with what you already have. You may want change to create more balance in your life or to find more adventures or maybe it is an opportunity for more success that you are looking for. Whatever it is, you want more. Join me as I help my listeners understand exactly what you want and why. What is pushing you to want more and what is your end-goal? And, more importantly, are you enjoying the journey to the change along the way? We have officially opened registration for our two-day live event next year, happening November 12th and 13th in San Diego! This event will be for anyone preparing for 2021, not just lawyers (and yes, it’s open to men too)

Dr. Valerie Rein is a psychologist and brilliant businesswoman who magically came into my life a few years ago. It’s been so much fun watching her business grow and running into each other in the most random situations. She has a new book, Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Inner Barrier to Women's Happiness and Fulfillment, coming out next week so I had to have her on the podcast. From generational trauma to patriarchal systems (including medicine and psychology), Dr. Valerie shares how and why women have been trained to believe that they are broken and that something is wrong with them. She’s on a mission to change that narrative and provide practical tools to overcoming this epidemic.

It can be scary when you make big investments in yourself and your business. To help with your decision-making process, and to ensure that you stay focused on what matters most to you, it’s important to identify and calculate the return on investment (ROI) that you’re expecting. Sometimes that’s a financial return, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re hiring a service provider, renting more office space, or adding new employees, getting clear on your expected ROI is a powerful tool.   Here’s what I’m sharing in this episode: How to determine if an investment is “worth it”  Why ROI isn’t always about financial gain (and what else you need to consider)  Examples from my own business on how I’ve calculated ROI when determining whether to make an investment   If you’re not happy with the results, you might be surprised to know the real reason why…   Why it’s so important for service providers and their clients to get clear on expected ROI to avoid disappointment and misunderstanding

I believe that websites are important for all businesses. While it may not be your primary marketing or sales tool, a good (or bad) website creates an immediate impression of your brand as well as your credibility, expertise, personal style, and use of technology. In the constantly-evolving digital age, it’s something we all need to be looking at and updating every single year – both in terms of aesthetics, functionality, and conversions. I’m redoing my website right now for these very reasons, so I wanted to bring on my web designer and developer, Amber Vilhauer, to share her best tips with you as well. What we cover in this episode: • How Amber went from a marketing and sales corporate superstar to starting her own agency • Lessons learned from a decade of entrepreneurship • Why narrowing your focus and speaking to your ideal customers is critical to the success of your website (and business) • Tips and strategies for creating an effective website • Why everyone needs a website and how it can help move your

I’ll walk you through six questions to ask yourself to help you move past analysis paralysis so that you can make a smart, confident decision.   Here’s what I’m sharing in this episode:   How analysis paralysis can hold you back and why it's so important to be honest about whether you’re overthinking something   How to get clear on what you’re really worried about    The intersection between strategy, perfectionism and fear – and why we often lie to ourselves about our true motives     Why so many people ask the wrong questions, which leads to even more confusion and indecisiveness    The four common problem-solving methods that will keep you stuck in your head AND the one thing you should do to find the right answer faster    How to leverage past mistakes and situations to your advantage Want to
