Have you ever held yourself back from achieving your dreams because of a nagging voice in your head telling you it's impossible? What if the invisible wall you’ve built from fear, doubt, and the very lessons of your upbringing are the only things keeping you from unlocking your fullest potential?  In this episode of the Boss Your Business Mindset Podcast, Karen Laos shares her mission to help people shift their mindsets from "I can't" to "How can I?"  Tune in and learn more about Karen’s approach to eradicating self-doubt with strategic methods and practices that turn self-imposed limitations into launch pads for success!  Meet The Guest Karen Laos' story begins with a vivid memory from her childhood, where her father taught her the art of negotiation through a simple exercise at a flea market. This experience ignited her love for striking deals and built her unshakable belief in the power of asking for what one wants.   This sense of power conveyed a conflicting message as she watched her mother manage a large family of nine children but still be submissive under the orders of her father. Receiving mixed messages about her role and the power of her own voice, Karen unknowingly brings these values as she works. Being a high achiever type of person, Karen quickly rose to the ranks in her corporate career showcasing her expertise in negotiation. However, Karen faced a common problem that affects many women working in offices—self-doubt.   Despite her achievements and outward confidence, Karen recognized this silent struggle within herself and countless other women. These shared experiences of self-doubt weren't just personal battles but a widespread phenomenon that needed to be addressed.  At 52 years old resigning from her job, that’s when she decided to pivot from corporate to purpose-driven empowerment. Karen started her mission to eradicate self-doubt, target the root causes, and provide strategies for women to rediscover their voice, values, and vision. Her main goal is to empower 10 million women over the next decade, a new generation of confident, assertive, and successful female leaders and entrepreneurs. So whether it’s negotiating your next business deal, stepping into a leadership role, or simply learning to assert your worth, remember—the journey to embracing your full potential starts with believing in your own voice and value. -------------- DISCLAIMER: This podcast is sponsored by AskYvi.com.

After only about 6 months, his hard work quickly paid off. He rose through the ranks and became ADP's number 1 sales representative.

It is a Japanese philosophy that means creating continuous improvements. This belief has changed not only Jeff but his whole team where everyone is striving to level up and consistently upgrade themselves, even if it’s just by 1% each day. By focusing on building strong relationships and prioritizing the needs of his customers and employees, Jeff has been able to create a culture of success that is unique and inspiring.

❗❗❗ Trigger Warning: This episode contains triggering topics on narcissistic abuse and real-life experiences that may be distressing for some readers. Please approach with caution and ensure you have a support system in place.Narcissistic abuse is a sinister force that casts a long and dark shadow over the lives of its victims, leaving them feeling trapped, isolated, and utterly confused. This form of emotional manipulation and psychological control has a devastating impact on an individual's self-esteem, sense of identity, and overall mental health. It is a hidden epidemic that affects millions of people worldwide, yet it remains shrouded in secrecy and misunderstanding. That’s why for this week's episode of Boss Your Business Podcast, we're steering away from our usual business discussions to dive into a deeply personal topic about surviving and protecting oneself to further grow and achieve happiness.Join us as we explore the chilling world of narcissistic abuse and the journey to healing with our special guest, Dana S. Diaz, a wife, mother, and author of the bestselling book, Gasping for Air: The Stranglehold of Narcissistic Abuse. Together, we'll discuss the signs of narcissistic abuse, the importance of understanding and support, and what healing realizations look like.Meet The Guest:Dana's experience with narcissistic abuse began in her childhood and continued throughout her life. This first-hand knowledge has given her a deep understanding of the struggles and challenges victims face daily. Through her book and her advocacy work, Dana strives to create awareness about narcissistic abuse, ensuring that victims are given the support they need to begin the healing process. Narcissistic abuse occurs when an individual with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) manipulates, controls, and exploits others for their own gain. This form of abuse can be emotional, physical, financial, and/or sexual. The narcissist's goal is to maintain power and control over the victim, often creating a cycle of abuse that includes periods of idealization, devaluation, and discard.Dana S. Diaz's education in journalism and psychology at DePaul University in Chicago provided her with the tools to understand and articulate the complexities of this form of abuse. She offers a courageous voice for fellow victims who are unable, afraid, or ashamed to share their experiences. A lifelong experience with narcissistic abuse has given her a mission to extend beyond simply increasing awareness. Through her writing, speaking engagements, and personal interactions, Dana shares her own experiences and insights to impart her knowledge and inspire others to break free from this emotional abuse. She also emphasizes the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and seeking professional help when necessary. Dana helps victims regain their sense of self-worth and reclaim their lives by offering guidance, support, and encouragement.It’s time to embrace the courage within you to break free from the shackles of abuse and redefine your own strength. By choosing healing and self-compassion over the harshness of reality, you can create a life filled with joy and resilience. Don't miss out on this opportunity to take that first step towards reclaiming your power and finding peace in this eye-opening episode with Dana Diaz. Together, let's walk towards a world where survivors can thrive and live their lives to the fullest!--------------DISCLAIMER:This podcast is sponsored by AskYvi.com.

Do you ever find yourself feeling bad for all the countless talented individuals who remain unnoticed and overlooked due to the rigid social structures in corporate environments?This week, on the Boss Your Business Podcast, I'd like you to meet Katherine McCord. Katherine is an international speaker who passionately advocates for the transformative power of embracing neurodiversity and self-care. This brilliant human being harnesses her neurodivergence as a superpower to create safer, more caring spaces in the workplace by openly discussing and implementing accommodations.Don't miss this eye-opening episode! Tune in to the Boss Your Business Podcast and discover the incredible impact of embracing our differences and creating an environment that supports everyone's potential. Meet The Guest:At the age of six, Katherine McCord was already looking at the world of business in her own unique way. She wasn't just playing pretend HR; she was slowly setting the stage for a life where neurodiversity isn't just accepted but celebrated as a creative force.Despite her multiple physical challenges (some include MCAS and seizures) and neurodiverse conditions (bipolar and OCD), Katherine never saw these to define her limits. Instead, her parents helped her carve out a path for discovering how to live with it, celebrate her strengths, and pursue her goals. Their support and her creative perspective fueled her to, later on, help other neurodivergents to experience the upbringing she collected over the years.One of the strategies that Katherine proposes mostly to companies is the creation of "symbiotic work cells," a harmonious solution where a small group of diverse individuals collectively manage different angles of work as they complement, learn, and grow from each other which leads to a more resilient and responsive workforce, where absences are less disruptive, and team synergy propels productivity. Katherine also calls out an uncomfortable truth in modern workplaces: the reluctance to openly discuss and implement 'accommodations' that can support employees to perform at their best. Her suggestion is simple yet effective: make these 'accommodations’ as standard options. By doing so, organizations can foster an ecosystem of support, trust, and genuine care without the stigma typically attached to such requests.Beyond understanding neurodiversity, Katherine spotlights the ever-important concept of self-care in the corporate setting. No longer just a buzzword or a token nod to employee wellness, self-care should also be a core business strategy—a means to replenish the mind and spirit of the workforce, enabling enhanced productivity and happier, more fulfilled members.It's clear that the journey to cultivating a thriving team is rooted in understanding and nurturing individual strengths. This episode didn’t just provide a concrete blueprint for success but also revealed the true potential of your team. Time to unlock it with care, embrace variety, and watch as productivity reaches new heights!--------------DISCLAIMER:This podcast is sponsored by AskYvi.com.

Starting a business is as simple as taking that first step, but keeping it running? Yeah, that doesn’t always turn out as smooth as you want it to be. It can be messy and it’s never going to be picture-perfect. But guess what? Those bumps in the road to success and even the unexpected detours aren't your enemy. In fact, these are opportunities for you to step up and become even more fulfilled! In this week’s Boss Your Business Podcast, I got to sit down with Staci Gray, a coach and CEO with an impressive track record and over two decades in the business world. Tune in as she brings a wealth of insights about taking action, embracing imperfection, and scaling your business.Meet The Guest:After graduating high school at just 16, Staci Gray had a unique start. You see, instead of heading off to college like most of her peers, she began working in her father's business. Throughout the years, Staci juggled various roles - from answering phones and processing credit cards to coordinating events and seminars. Eventually, she found herself yearning for more than what her current job description offered. She convinced her father to let her step up, and Staci was handed the key to systems and structure – the "E-Myth" book by Michael Gerber. Inspired by this, she developed her first handbook on standard operating procedures and later worked to recruit and train her replacement.Before she knew it, she was in charge of all their family businesses. Once they were stable, she returned them to her father and embarked on her journey to build her own company and business ventures. Unfortunately, a family crisis struck and her mother was diagnosed with stage four cancer. This prompted her to return and run the company. However, the first thing she did was implement a structured approach and hire a team for day-to-day operations. This allowed her to be present during her mother's final months.Amid their family's most challenging moments, she found a silver lining — the inspiration that sparked her new business, Organize to Scale. Staci realized that she could use her experiences to help other entrepreneurs set up systems and processes.Organize to Scale™ is a company that Staci built by documenting repeatable procedures and setting measurable metrics. Its purpose is to empower leaders with the visibility to monitor their business performance without getting lost in day-to-day operations.Staci Gray is a phenomenal coach known for her emphasis on taking prompt steps to bridge the gap between ideas and profit. This episode is a great way to double down on the importance of embracing imperfection and taking life by the reins. --------------DISCLAIMER:This podcast is sponsored by AskYvi.com.

With all the new tech, tools, and gadgets, most people often find that it’s possible and even productive to work from home. Not long ago, ‘remote work’ seemed like a dream, it’s fascinating to see how far we’ve come. On this week's Boss Your Business Podcast, we take a trip down memory lane with a friend I've known since the GooglePlus days of 2011 - Dustin Stout.

He spent two years honing his acting skills at the renowned American Academy of Dramatic Arts. His Hollywood dreams, however, ran against reality where budding actors often exchanged dialogues with customers in cafes rather than on a movie set.This reality check spurred him into a new direction. He decided to take his destiny by the reins and become an entrepreneur. Dustin taught himself how to do web design and social media marketing, all the way back in 2008. His initial fascination with reaching his target audience via social media led him to launch his first blog about this newfound knowledge. This turned out to be a transformative step, garnering him the attention of potential clients seeking his services!By 2014, Dustin marked his full-time jump into the digital world. And along with a couple of friends, conceived the idea of a WordPress plugin that eventually shaped the first chapters of Magai.His blend of creativity, determination, and deep understanding of customers' needs have proven to be an unstoppable combination. This led him to create Magai - a tool that revolutionizes the way we perceive and engage with AI technology. It’s like the one AI assistant that helps you wield all the other AI tools (like ChatGPT,  Midjourney, etc).It’s a jam-packed episode for sure! So, tune in to uncover the secrets behind Dustin's success, the lessons he learned along the way, and the future of AI in the digital world. Share this episode with your fellow entrepreneurs, AI enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the future of work-from-home technologies.

Have you ever wondered how your perceived struggles can become your superpower?In the world of business, ADHD and Autism, are often barriers to entry but with a little creativity, it can also serve as a unique advantage. This intertwining of adversity, ambition, and thinking outside the box opens up the discussion for unlimited potential.That's why for this week's Boss Your Business podcast guest, I have Jeremy Nagel, ready to share his journey as an entrepreneur with autism and ADHD - a journey that highlights how one can overcome societal bias and carve a fulfilling path within the competitive startup ecosystem! Meet The Guest:Jeremy Nagel started off as a software developer where he founded his startup, Smooth Messenger. An app that was successfully sold to Message Media in 2022. This startup's successful exit showed his ability to conceptualize and build something that resonated with users and industry players alike. Currently, Jeremy continues to contribute to Message Media as their dynamic product manager. However, his entrepreneurial spirit didn't stop there! His passion drove him to launch a new startup called Focus Bear. Uniquely positioned as a productivity and work-life balance app specifically designed for people with ADHD to foster an inclusive digital landscape. Talking about his experience with neurodivergence, Jeremy reveals that 7 years ago, like many diagnostic procedures, the tests cost a considerable amount of money. Unfortunately, the steep charge of $3,000, coupled with the financial constraints of managing a business that was not yet profitable, left him with a pre-diagnosis. But this did help him a lot to release a lot of the self-judgment and opened him to learning more about trying to balance his superpower - his inner neurospicy.It’s no secret that navigating a business with Autism and ADHD comes with its unique set of challenges like overworking when in hyper-focus mode, forgetting to eat, not having enough spoons to do certain tasks, potential cases of being overwhelmed, and many more. Still, pioneers like Jeremy Nagel are instrumental in shattering the stigma, cultivating inclusivity, and showcasing that neurodiversity creates different paths to success.As we continue to explore and share these amazing tales of business owners and their unique journeys, stories like Jeremy's provide immeasurable inspiration and hope. It's a reminder—for all of us— that difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations. By embracing his business and life with Autism and ADHD, he is not just breaking barriers but also encouraging others to continue pursuing their own creative dreams! So, don’t miss this episode, it just might be the boost you need.--------------DISCLAIMER:This podcast is sponsored by AskYvi.com.

When Taco Bell made its entry into Puerto Rico, he sold his prime fast food court locations to them, marking his exit from the restaurant industry.However, Marco's passion for business didn't stop there. He ventured into the corporate world and became an early adopter of internet marketing, pioneering email marketing way back in 1996, long before the term 'spam' was coined.Marco has always believed in the efficiency of value-add incentives over traditional discounts in the realm of sales and marketing. The effectiveness of Marco's approach can be seen through his Facebook group, which has more than 30,000 active business owners. Now, these business proprietors are not just idle members, but actively engaging participants who enjoy tangible success from his Marketing Boost program.The Marketing Boost program aligns with modern marketing trends, which emphasizes the importance of providing added value to customers rather than mere price reductions.
