What Are You Expecting?

| By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

What Are You Expecting on She's Got Moxie

Today I’m talking about Expectations. What are yours and how to manage them to your advantage. We are at the halfway point in 2022, so it’s a great time to take a look at your goals.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the business goals that we set for ourselves, so incorporating an awareness practice in your life can help you focus your “finite” emotional energy in the right areas. In this episode, I share a personal story about the path I chose when things didn’t go as I was expecting. I also share my three-step steps to a visualization practice that produces results.

Listen in to learn how your mind is like an iPhone, why you should adopt an awareness practice, and the one thing successful entrepreneurs do every day.

Linda Rose on She's Got Moxie

She’s the go-to-gal when it comes to helping companies get acquired and now she’s back with a NEW book to help you simply and easily understand how to get your business ready to be acquired!

Serial entrepreneur Linda Rose joined me on the podcast to talk about her NEW book, Get Acquired for Millions: A Roadmap for Technology Service Providers to Maximize Company Value.

Linda is a big proponent of listening to your clients before anyone else and running a company to sell rather than running a company to grow. She urges other entrepreneurs to think bigger and find mentors that can help them broaden their mindset.

On today’s show, Linda shares how CEOs can get away for up to a month without hearing from their team, two things she wishes she knew before she became an entrepreneur, and the value of organization intellectual property. She explains the Banana Concept, which book has impacted her life, and where she finds her joy.

Maria Ure on She's Got Moxie with Joy Chudacoff

Hold on to your seat. You’re going to hear a lot of energy and enthusiasm oozing from my guest today! While going through an extremely challenging divorce and the loss of her mother, Maria Ure, Founder & CEO of Spanish in Action, catapulted her home-based Spanish teaching business to success.

Maria realized early on that she had the gift of teaching Spanish lessons to children. Using this gift, she built her business, Spanish in Action, from three students sitting on her living room floor to a premier language studio in the upscale, family favorite and sand filled Manhattan Beach, California. She’s been featured on Univision 34, the popular LA channel for the Latin community, Ryan Seacrest’s KIISFM and she was chosen for a commercial for GoDaddy recently on how small businesses are making the pivot during the pandemic.

Today, we are going to talk about how she overcame her challenges and how she expanded into other vertical markets, and much more.
