hello everyone this is Karen Glasser and
0:02
I'm here with my buddy Gary Garrety hi
0:06
hey Joey good to see you we're here with
0:09
women inspiring women rise together and
0:13
today our question is how does your
0:15
business rhythm impact your personal
0:18
life so Joey what does that actually
0:21
what is a business rhythm I don't even
0:22
know what that means well it was just
0:24
interesting because Karen and I we were
0:26
talking last week rolling out on the
0:29
other side of her recent show with the
0:31
captain sandy on and we were talking
0:33
about our rhythms and so a business
0:35
rhythm is really something that you
0:36
identify early on and then you
0:38
organically build your entire company
0:40
around it it will help you so you like
0:42
for instance i'ma fir to myself as a
0:44
green horse so I walked fast I talk fast
0:47
eat fast everything I do has to be like
0:49
going a thousand miles a minute
0:52
I love to go go go go go go right well I
0:54
wanted to develop my entire company
0:57
around that rhythm not necessarily where
0:59
my clients because not everyone wants to
1:01
move as faster than me right so so
1:05
rhythm is yeah and we've talked about
1:08
that because my rhythm is maybe even
1:10
faster than yours I I think you're
1:13
always laughing at me saying whoa wait
1:14
wait wait you've already got the step up
1:16
so how does it impact our personal life
1:19
then I mean so let's use this an example
1:23
this is how your business is how does
1:25
that relate and translate in terms of
1:28
what you're doing in your personal life
1:30
well I think something that I'm always
1:32
grappling with or what I'm working on
1:34
right now is finding balance because it
1:37
rolls over my personal life mm-hmm like
1:39
I want to constantly be moving all the
1:42
time and always be in forward motion and
1:44
moving at like it like a freight train
1:47
and so what I have had to do is I've had
1:50
to find ways for my personal life to be
1:52
able to slow down enough in order to be
1:55
at peace with others in the room and so
1:58
that's where yoga meditation has been my
2:01
key components for me to slow basically
2:03
slow you down our viewers if you have a
2:06
comment about how your business rhythm
2:09
is impacting your personal life go ahead
2:10
and put it in the comments
2:12
we'd love to hear from you so continuing
2:15
the conversation I know for me as well I
2:17
I probably should be doing yoga or
2:20
meditation but every time I think about
2:23
it I think oh my gosh it's just way too
2:25
slow I could not possibly slow down
2:27
enough to do yoga yeah I mean that's
2:34
that's all that's fun what's right for
2:35
you right but meditation yoga has
2:38
because what it does is it forces me to
2:40
stay on the mat long enough to be in the
2:45
moment and just to be and that
2:47
translates into my business where I
2:48
allow myself just to be in my business
2:50
and not moving a million miles an hour
2:53
because what are we doing after a while
2:55
Karen when we're moving so fast like you
2:57
know we're talking about this what is
2:59
this really about the end of the day for
3:01
you and I we love to get over finish
3:03
lines right right the huge component for
3:06
Karen and I that's why we're very close
3:08
is when we met we got along very well
3:09
very quickly right because we're like
3:11
two little mirrors and and I know Lisa's
3:14
just talking about mirror Lib and yep we
3:18
need a balance for sure right Marilyn
3:19
has been a game changer for me as well
3:21
as this woman has taught us the
3:23
technique of mere love in any man that
3:24
does not know about this yet please
3:26
reach out to Lisa Laurent and learn from
3:29
but it's about finish line so let's talk
3:31
about that because that was what really
3:33
came up for us when the show was sandy
3:37
with captain city aunt yon when we were
3:40
on the other side of it right right is
3:42
that we crossed the finish line what
3:44
what how is that impacting the way we're
3:46
showing up both in our personal and our
3:49
business life because that's part of our
3:50
business rhythm it is it is and I think
3:53
I mean we it was rush rush rush right go
3:57
go go and yet I think for and for me
4:00
personally it sort of feeds me it is
4:03
sort of like the fuel that feeds me as I
4:06
do what I do is to go go go I don't know
4:09
how you feel about that but it literally
4:11
is the fuel it's like the gasoline point
4:13
gasoline on the fire and I just go go go
4:14
and how about you well the the the
4:19
constant need to get over finish lines
4:21
is something that I've had a I've really
4:25
couple years with my business itself
4:27
because everyone has their own business
4:29
rhythm right right and so I've had to
4:32
learn how to times let someone else but
4:37
get and let them have their own rhythm
4:39
and maybe we're not gonna get over the
4:40
finish line as quickly as I would like
4:44
for us to did you just say I went I
4:49
literally have an anxiety attack
4:51
thinking I'm not gonna pass the finish
4:53
line and and you know we I'm just
4:56
storing up comments as we're chatting
4:58
you know one of the things that I'm
5:00
starting to do you talked about balance
5:02
and you talked about finding balance and
5:05
let's say we got soap reported on true
5:08
preneur it is hard not to mesh the two
5:09
as Carrie knows it's hard not yeah it is
5:11
it's hard not to stop but one of the
5:12
things that I'm starting to do is that I
5:14
used to literally have my phone with me
5:16
all night long no matter what I was
5:19
doing and an email would come in and
5:21
boom I would respond to the email I am
5:24
working really hard to allow the emails
5:27
to come in without me responding I told
5:30
the next day that's my little itty-bitty
5:32
step of trying to slow myself down
5:35
even though ultimately answering those
5:37
emails are gonna get me past the finish
5:39
line quicker okay that's a perfect
5:42
example that Karen thank you so much for
5:44
sharing that cuz I'm the same way
5:46
I believe it's part of how we're
5:48
organically built and also with my
5:50
background in Hollywood I was trained to
5:54
immediately respond right away and if I
5:56
didn't there would be repercussions on
5:58
the other end right right so as an
6:00
entrepreneur I think we bring a lot of
6:02
the old corporate stuff into our
6:04
business rhythm today that's actually
6:07
not doesn't serve us anymore
6:08
brazen serve us so I love so here's what
6:11
I've done to at 10 o'clock at night
6:13
which is huge for me I literally put the
6:16
phone away because I was like you know
6:19
sleeping with my phone I still am kind
6:27
of sleeping with my phone don't tell my
6:29
husband okay he thinks I only sleep with
6:32
him I actually sleep with my phone so
6:37
April says I do the same thing
6:39
his work as soon as an email comes in I
6:40
feel compelled to read and reply
6:42
instantly so as to get it out of the
6:44
queue so one of the things that I have
6:48
been told is to identify during your day
6:50
and if you're just going to talk about
6:52
email right now identified during the
6:53
day the times that you will actually
6:55
follow up on emails like you identify in
6:57
the morning I do emails between you know
7:00
nine and ten and then I do it again
7:02
between three and four and you literally
7:04
let people know that I'm going to answer
7:06
emails between this time and this time
7:07
and that time in that time so that you
7:09
manage the expectation for me it's
7:12
always been about managing expectations
7:14
people now expect me to respond on the
7:17
dime right and yeah it's sure like I I
7:22
think for us as green horses
7:27
this whole chunking time a win we're
7:30
gonna exactly respond to emails I don't
7:32
know if it if it's a if it works I don't
7:35
know if it's the right fit for us
7:36
because we want to be moving so quickly
7:39
so here's a little white secret I was
7:43
talking to someone the other day that
7:44
told me that they literally saved their
7:46
emails and because they're responding so
7:50
quickly and they're doing it late at
7:51
night like I used to do so that they
7:53
don't go in till next day because I
7:54
don't want people to think that they're
7:57
midnight what a morning so were you and
8:01
I we're in a good like world like
8:02
there's a lot of a lot of us in the same
8:04
boat I think what's the real question
8:06
behind all this is why do we feel so
8:09
compelled to get to get back to someone
8:13
right very quickly and I think that that
8:16
is learned behavior I do I think that
8:18
they were for me I listen studios or
8:20
corporations they're just one big fat
8:22
corporation I think we're trained very
8:25
young to be responsive when you're in in
8:28
service components and now that we're of
8:31
service I feel like I can turn things
8:34
off differently but then I use my
8:36
business rhythm that the the freight
8:39
train because that's how I'm built
8:41
I'm born this way right and I use it in
8:44
other ways so that so that I can be in
8:47
my national rhythm all the time
8:49
so I think the message for for everyone
8:52
that's that's tuning in today and if
8:54
you're here on replay we would love to
8:56
hear what you have to say put your
8:57
comments down there below is that we
8:59
have to within ourselves figure out what
9:02
that business rhythm is and then take a
9:04
look at what we're doing in our personal
9:06
lives to see how we might shift it you
9:09
know that balance word is it's a is an
9:11
interesting word I'm not sure that we're
9:13
ever going to do balance oh there's my
9:17
dog actually he's very happy with me
9:19
right now um you know balance to me is
9:22
both my work and my personal life or
9:24
kind of merged together that's my
9:26
balance because I do love my work and I
9:29
know that you love your work too right
9:30
Joey I mean it is part of who you are so
9:33
it's finding that quote-unquote balance
9:36
which I'm not sure what that means
9:39
exactly but for all of our viewers find
9:42
that business rhythm are you speedy are
9:45
you slow are you not even on like the
9:50
blip of the radar you know so figure out
9:52
what your business rhythm is and how it
9:54
is impacting your personal life any last
9:57
thoughts Joey that we can share both
9:58
yeah there's techniques and tools out
10:01
there that will help you to balance out
10:03
out there and once so for the speed ease
10:06
like you and I it is very common I read
10:10
a lot of articles on this etc and
10:12
there's very common where they suggest
10:13
over and over again yoga and meditation
10:16
because it forces us to be able to sit
10:19
even though that is not organic for us
10:22
it forces us to be able to sit in it
10:24
which has helped me tremendously in my
10:25
business because when I have clients
10:27
that aren't don't want to go a million
10:29
miles an hour I'll okay with it now I'm
10:32
just like I'm like listen you don't want
10:34
to get over the finish line
10:34
for her six months I'm okay with it but
10:37
before Karen it would have been very
10:40
yeah Airy difficult I would have taken
10:42
it personally that they didn't want to
10:44
get over the finish line at the same
10:45
time as me and now more open hearted
10:49
about it and a mindful I'm very mindful
10:51
and I'm just like hey I know your rhythm
10:53
this is mine it's all cool I love that I
10:57
sunshine sue Wood says combining work
