How We Are Investing in Ourselves This Year to Level Up

We decided to make 2022 the year we level up more than ever before. We’ve invested in ourselves over the years, but never like we are this year. Part of that means that, during this episode, we’re attending our first in-person Mastermind event of 2022 in Greensboro, North Carolina. Lucky for you, you’re being treated to a rare, in-person episode recorded in our hotel room. 

Masterminds, Coaching, and Trainings – We Go Behind the Scenes on Product Boss Personal Development Priorities in 2022

While we prepare ourselves, we thought we’d take a moment and run through all the ways we’re investing in ourselves this year. Hopefully hearing how we’re investing in ourselves in 2022 will inspire you to find the best ways to level yourselves and your businesses up, too! 

Normally, you hear about our own Mastermind program, but what about the ones we are a part of? All coaches are coached. Even the best coaches and businesses have coaches of their own. Being an entrepreneur is tough and we all need help from others sometimes, it’s totally normal!

We talk about how we made it through the season of life we were in when we first started our business to where we are at now, the other Masterminds we signed up for, the incredible retreats we are planning to attend, and even the coaches and courses we’re investing in. It’s truly a behind-the-scenes look at our 2022 gameplan to level up The Product Boss. We’re excited to share this with you!

The Mindset of a Million-Dollar Product Boss

One mistake people often make is thinking it all comes down to strategy, when, really, the most important thing is mindset. It can seem daunting or overwhelming to change how you think about running your business as it grows, but these kinds of shifts are critical to being able to scale your success. 

Leave Strategy at the Door & Get Into the Successful Mindset of Million-Dollar Businesses

Chances are, if you run your own business, you’re a visionary. You have lots of ideas, you spend lots of time thinking about the future, and you dream really big. But the bigger your company grows, the harder it becomes to find the space to live the life you want and avoid burnout. 

Sometimes, you might feel like you have complete clarity, but other times, you feel like a chicken flailing around with its head cut off. That burnout comes from not allowing yourself to be the visionary that you are.

That’s why we’re going to spend some time exploring what separates six and seven-figure product boss mindsets from the rest. Make sure to listen to this episode even if your business makes less than that. It never hurts to hear how other people approach their companies, and it might be good practice for when you’re making that income yourself!

For starters, one common trap people fall into as their business grows is not knowing when to stop wearing all the hats. When you start a company, you’re doing everything, or almost everything, yourself. It takes a lot of mental readjustment to get used to the idea of hiring people to do work for you, trusting them to do it to your standards, and even giving yourself permission to step back and focus on other things. But it’s an important step to take because, newsflash, you – the boss of your company – could be the bottleneck! 

You’ve earned the ability to pick what you want to do in your company, so pick! You might want to stop going into your store, you might want to hand off your social media accounts, or you might want to step back from production. Great! Now it’s time to hire people to make that a reality.

Remember that you’re not always going to be hiring for a helping hand. At some point, you’re going to need to start attracting leaders who can make decisions and keep things running for you. 

You’re a decision maker; not a doer, but that doesn’t mean that you have to make every decision yourself. There’s no limit to how much you can grow. Listen to this episode to find out exactly how.

One Big Thing That Super Successful People Do

With the holiday season in full swing, we thought we'd explore the one big thing that all successful people seem to do: consciously choose who they surround themselves with.

You probably hear this advice a lot, but what does it actually mean? 

Product Boss Success Hack: Surround Yourself With People Who Have Achieved Your Goals

This goes for almost anything in life, but if you have a goal, it helps to be surrounded by people who share it with you, even those who have conquered it already! Think about how much help it can be to surround yourself with fellow moms when you first have a kid, or how many people find success losing weight after joining a diet group. 

The same principles apply to business!

Spending your time with people at and above the level you want to achieve has so many benefits. They understand your problems in a way that other people who haven’t been where you are, don’t. Consciously or not, they’ll show you the path to where you want to be if you’re looking in the right places and asking the right questions.

If that sounds too simple on paper and you’re wondering how on Earth you can actually go about making it a reality, that’s where Masterminds come in. They’re a place full of like-minded individuals looking to grow together through connecting with one another and contributing to the group’s common betterment. Find the people you thrive best with, and make your goals a reality, too.
