Listen in as we also discuss the need for effective listening and communication in a leader's role, different aspects of communication, the impact of trust in relationships, and the importance of being true to oneself. Vicky Noethling is a Speaker, Trainer, Coach, Podcast Host and Neora Entrepreneur.

As I transitioned from a corporate career to entrepreneurship, I was surprised to find a culture of collaborative networking and giving. I call it the unexpected bonus of this world, and it's one of the reasons I'm thrilled to have Steve Ramona on this episode of The Ready Yet?! Podcast. Steve is the host of the Doing Business with A Servant's Heart podcast and coaches people to launch their own podcasts. Listen in as we discuss how serving others is essential for building relationships, networking, and growing your business; how to find a balance between serving others and making a profit; and how serving others is the new way of networking.

There is an old mindset that promotes a singular path to success as an adult: get an education and credentials, find a job, get good at that job, and stick with it through retirement. For many of us, this path was expected of us, and is the path we started to follow until we realized that we had the entrepreneurial drive to create something rather than to follow something. My guest today is Frank Agin, who is the author of several books, host of the Networking RX Podcast, and Founder and President of AmSpirit Business Connections. Join us as we discuss the transition from corporate America to entrepreneurship that so many business owners have achieved, the importance of surrounding yourself with people who want to help you and be successful, and how AmSpirit Business Connections helps entrepreneurs learn how to network and earn referrals more efficiently.

There is a big difference between chasing squirrels versus saying yes to opportunities that move you in the right direction toward your goals. Today’s guest, Cristy O’Connor of the Badass Women in Business Podcast, is a lot like me: we both have a history of succeeding at a job, and then moving on, succeeding at something else, and moving on again. I think you will enjoy our conversation about the importance of setting your intentions for what you want, so that when an opportunity presents itself, you are ready for it, instead of being stuck in survival mode where all you want is relief.

It feels like instead of a description this episode of the Ready Yet?! Podcast should come with a warning. Be prepared to be motivated. Be prepared to be reflective. Be prepared for a lot of energy around some really important topics. If you just stay at the surface, my guest, Andy Weins, can be labeled as a powerhouse of personality. But if you dare to go deeper you will learn what is possible when you embrace your authentic self in service to others.
This particular episode comes with a bonus invitation to join Andy live at the upcoming Young Guns event on March 2nd. I'll even get you a discount! If you want to be able to spend a single day with a group of driven entrepreneurs working together so everyone wins, and walk away with tangible tools to grow your business this is your opportunity.
I'll be there.

Did you build your dream business, only to realize that as the owner you get paid last after all other financial obligations? Or sometimes not even paid at all! My amazing guest today, Brandon Neely, felt this frustration firsthand as a coffee shop owner in the city of Chicago. It took starting a new business and changing his mindset around spending and saving, for him to focus on the Profit First method of being an entrepreneur. Join us as he shares the benefits of this financial method, and how simple it can be to make small changes so that your business can finally make you money.

As humans, we’re not designed to stay the same as the years go by. We’re always growing and always fine-tuning our lives. Or at least we should be.

My amazing guest today, Kevin Kepple, and I dive into how to avoid settling and how to figure out what it is you actually want.

There isn’t just one right way to operate your business or live your life, but so often we get caught up in what we’re taught growing up or what we hear from society, that we think the path we’ve been on is the only way to go. But as human beings, we’re constantly growing and learning, so we need to be open to adjusting course toward what is right for us at this time. Doing this while also accepting that our old choices weren’t wrong, they just no longer suit us, is no small feat.

By design, goals can be difficult and require a lot of work to achieve. As entrepreneurs, we tend to create a lot of goals, hold ourselves to a very high standard, and then beat ourselves up if that goal isn’t met perfectly.

The real benefit to others though, is not the fact that she lives this way but that she can so clearly describe it to others in a way that lets them step out of their comfort zone, become an observer of their own behavior, and learn to embrace even greater potential.
