Who I really admire
I was thinking this morning about all the podcasts I like to listen to, the people I follow on social, anyone I know, etc. Some people that really come to mind are:
Suzy Batiz- Woman entrepreneur, creator of poo pouri. She has gone through two bankruptcies and was really in a place of giving up then decided to restructure her mind set and thought processes, and then the idea for poo pouri came into the picture. Her story really is one of great determination. Most people I think would just give up on the idea of being a business owner after 1 bankruptcy. But she kept trying and trying no matter what. I feel like she really was meant to purposefully be where she is today. It is just amazing and I really admire her pure strength to bring herself up to keep trying and trying. I also just love all the talks I hear her give, she is very confident and motivational. I think we are very alike. Except of course she is living her dream currently and I am still in the very beginning processes. But the confidence, the love, the light, really resonates with me.
Alexandrea Garza - Now she is someone who really just pulled herself up by her bootstraps and made her dream a reality. She is a YouTube star and just opened up her own virtual store called shopgoodtobe.com, yall should check her out. She is living just such a fabulous life with her hubs Michael, who also does everything with her and was able to quit his job to do YouTube full time with her. They also have a combined channel where they vlog their whole life called Alex and Michael. They are just such amazing entrepreneurs and they really work so hard to make all their dreams come true. I really just love the passion you can really feel that they have through the laptop screen.
Jenna Kutcher - Now she is someone that I have newly been introduced to and just absolutely love. (Not in real life lol, but through podcasts) She is actually a photographer who wanted to expand her business and make more but work less essentially or of course do work she loves so it doesn’t really feel like work. Her podcast is called Goal Digger and you need to check it out. She is extremely easy to listen to and she gives real active advice. What I mean by active is it is actual stuff, actual steps that you can take and do in order to start or improve your business. I really don’t like listening to motivational speakers who just say nice things but I can’t physically do. When I hear someone speak I want them to tell me step by step what to do. Otherwise I am like great.... I feel motivated but don’t know what to do. ha. Anyways, she is wonderful, she really promotes being happy with who you are, working out, self care, helping women, becoming successful, outsourcing, and really not working too much in your business as an employee, but working on your business like a CEO, and vacations. I love that! She really preaches exactly what I want out of life, except I am not a photographer. But everything else, I want.
Mel Robbins - Man she is a firecracker! A real kick in my rear. I actually did IRL meet her, so I will post a picture here in a bit. She has a book called, The Five Second Rule, where she talks about no longer just thinking about doing something but just doing it. Count to 5 and do it. Like waking up, alarm goes off, count to 5 and jump out of bed. Or thinking about placing a sales call that you have been thinking about doing, just count to 5 pick up the phone and make it happen. You can pretty much apply the rule to anything. Obviously this does not work for huge things that you really need to think about, but small things that you procrastinate on, you just need to do and stop thinking about it. She is amazing to listen to IRL. Super motivational and again, real steps I can actually use. I would really like to do speaking engagements like she does so much!!! I have books I am writing and I have stopped because life has just taken over, but I need to get back to it. Listening to her through some podcasts as of recent really has kind of kicked my butt and restarted my want and love for writing. That’s part of the reason you see I am blogging more. Love her! Listen and read her stuff, you won’t regret it.
Basically this is a really short list for now, but these are people that have really been on my mind and that I have really been working hard to emulate. I of course really admire my mom, dad, my husbands mom, my grandparents on both sides, my aunts, uncles, etc. I have a ton of entrepreneurs in my family, it is crazy! I will talk more about them coming up, I just wanted to talk about these few ladies for now. Notice how they are all girls, women have really been on my mind more than anything because of the current climate here in our country. So much has been happening, that’s another blog though, but the girls that have made it are seriously such an inspiration it is crazy! Thank you ladies, I hope to make you all proud!
