304: Transforming Business to Support Life: A Journey with Collected Living Design

Profit by Design

I’m excited to welcome Abby, Trent, and Laurie from Collected Living Design. This trio of business partners is sharing how they have taken their growing business and turned it into a business that truly supports their lives. They have been on this journey with us at Tap the Potential for about 1-½ years, and they have accomplished incredible things. Each of them is growing as a human being and learning valuable life lessons as they tweak their roles as business owners/partners. They have each been able to take extended time away from their business to enjoy their lives and families, which is a huge step for any small business owner. Join us for my conversation with Abby, Trent, and Laurie!

Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production.

Show Highlights:

• The biggest surprises on this journey so far: a work-life balance IS possible, the right systems are EVERYTHING, and learning to enjoy the business side
• The importance of letting go of what brought you where you are–so you can move forward
• The hardest lessons so far: trusting others, setting aside time for visioning and goals, and accepting our own strengths and weaknesses
• Coaching advice for business owners sometimes seems counterintuitive—and it’s NOT all about the numbers and effort you put forth.
• Navigating “fires” in the business with accountability to each other about turning off “work” mode
• Personal lives are different now for Trent, Abby, and Laurie because they can prioritize their energy levels, take unplugged vacations, and leave the mental stress at work each day.
• Trent’s experience in taking paternity leave when his new baby was born, Abby’s unplugged vacation to France, and Laurie’s upcoming trip
• Get the details about the Pledge-A-Thon for July for business owners. Find out more about your chance to win the How to Hire the Best Course for free and take the free 4 Week Vacation® pledge today!
• Perspectives from Trent, Abby, and Laurie on the biggest worries of business owners about taking a 4 Week Vacation®
