What’s Your Vision for Future?
This week I share my 7-step process for goal setting because I truly want you to be able to address maintaining motivation and focus and I believe this process, which I discovered while serving as a Master Resilience Trainer in the military.
This requires more than the typical SMART goals process that most people talk about.
I also share a few of the changes and new things we’re working on over here.
Finally - we’re taking a couple weeks off and look forward to seeing you again in the new year!
Thank you for all of your support through the past year and I’m excited about what’s to come in the new year for you, for us, and the people we serve together.

Connect, Engage, Inspire
The connections we build with others are so meaningful and impactful, whether in starting a business, moving forward in your career, increasing your business impact, or being purposeful in personal relationships. It’s also a huge opportunity for us to make a difference in the lives of those around us, as our stories intersect in business or life.
In this episode, we dive into the framework of a book I’m writing on intentionally building relationships with others - Connect, Engage, and Inspire. We discuss each step and the ways we’ve seen these principles applied in our lives and work.
We also talk about my transition from the military into business and what I learned about building relationships from the StoryBrand framework, the lessons Elizabeth learned from running a welcome booth for a year, and how being intentional in showing kindness to others can make a significant difference in their lives.
Please join me for this conversation and let’s consider together the importance of seeking to intentionally connect with, engage, and inspire others!

Do you sense there’s more in you – more to give to the world, more to experience, a more adventurous life to be lived – but you’re not sure how to get started? Maybe you’re wrestling with fear about leaving your comfort zone and the life you’ve been living. It feels like a leap, and yet you hope that just maybe there’s more available to you.

How and when to clean your email list.
How often should you clean your email list, what should you do with unsubscribes and unengaged, and why?
Too often I speak with people who are hanging on to their lists for a variety of reasons. I know you love them, at some point they engaged with something you offered and they’ve helped you to get where you are today.
As we achieve more, we notice that our circle of friends and people changes over time. The same is true of the people on your email list.
In this episode I share a few strategies for cleaning your email list, when you should consider it and what to do with those emails.
As always, I would love to hear from you, join us in our Facebook community and share your thoughts or challenges. https://www.facebook.com/groups/progrowthpodcast

Leadership and Mindset - How much is too much
This week I have two takeaways to share with you that I believe are complimentary.
The first is about leadership, how do you define leadership? And the second is about mindset and how to decide how much "content" you're giving away.
Should you give people everything they need to be successful, or should you focus on giving them just enough? How do you decide how much is too much?
I believe the answer is in our mindset.
To contribute to your growth in your LIFE and your Business, we have to be aware of what we think, how we think, and continue to grow in our knowledge.

Data, analytics and metrics oh my.
Don't get caught up in the analytics and what metrics to track. Spend your time analyzing your goals and then deciding how best to measure them.
What are your real business goals? How do you track them? How do you decide what's important?
That's what I share in this episode.
I do hope you'll share your feedback, questions or other ideas you'd like to hear more about. You can share them with me by email support@progrowthva.com or in our private Facebook community -

Creating authentic connections through copywriting w/ Geoff Kullman
*Geoff Kullman is a brand-awareness and direct-response copywriter for influencers, experts, and thought leaders. That’s basically a fancy way of saying he writes marketing materials for people you’ve heard of but he’s too polite to mention their names (probably because he’s from Canada). Geoff puts identity and integrity at the core of his writing… which is why you’re going to want to listen to his story! *
*In this interview, Geoff and I discuss the importance of creating genuine and authentic connections with your audience and how to decide which “funnel” you should be using for your business. *
*Geoff shares his personal journey that led him to create better copy and build deeper, more authentic connections with and for his clients. *
*He also shares 5 mistakes that most businesses are making when writing their copy and what you can do to avoid them. Find out more here: **https://geoffkullman.com/disconnect/
