When can I afford it? Looking at different scenarios helps us see what we need to do to achieve those results. For example, if you need to hit a certain revenue number then you can look at a variety of ways to do that and how each of them impacts that number. Understanding your numbers reduces anxiety about the future. Using these tools helps you to ask a lot of questions and get a lot of answers so you can get the full cost pictures and choose wisely. ================== Find Robin here Schedule a free call with Robin here

Find Virginia, Master Connectors, and get her free blueprint here Reach out to Virginia on LinkedIn: Virginia Muzquiz Contact Robin: robin@quittingculture.com Talk with Robin  Show Notes:  What do you want to experience in your life and let’s build your business so you can do that. Give yourself permission to decide - who do I want to be, what do I want to do, what do I want to contribute. What quality of life are you looking for? Who do you want to spend your time with? What do you want to do with the time you have? Deprogramming - We were told to: go to school, get a job, get married, have children.  But, do those things fit? Are they what you want? Where is your heart leading you? Most important mindset (in life and in business):  Start the day with, It’s a glorious day, I have more than enough of all that I need, and anything I lack I can ask and receive. Know that. And know that you have resources to share. Figure out where the gaps are so you can fill those in. Then, fill yourself to overflowing and then give from the overflow. Social Capital - I give, I get.  Remember, you give from your overflow. About Networking Ask: What community do I want to join? Get very clear about your values first. Be very careful about what you join because we have to be judicious about the people we spend time with. Ask: Who I am Ask: What resources do I have in excess that I can share? Then I need a system for keeping track of what I’ve given and what I’ve received.

Find Erik: erikluhrs.com Connect with Erik for a complimentary 'One Question Power Session'.  Find Robin: quittingculture.com Talk with Robin (Complimentary 15 minute call) Notes: If you want things to change, you have to become somebody new (to get different results). When you work from your higher self things flow. Quantum leaps in business come from quantum leaps in your beingness. We bring our ‘art’ to the world. If we go into business with a purpose, mission, or passion, then we bring our heart into our business and that's when the magic happens.  About compromise:  As soon as you make one accommodation, you're willing to subvert your higher self and you’ll do it again and again. Subverting your higher self won't bring you happiness.   We also need to look at innovation as a key component to standing out (breaking the mold of what's already being done in the marketplace).  The more disruptive you are, the more unique and memorable you are. You even create your own niche by innovating and disrupting the status quo.  The higher you go, the more slings and arrows come your way. Not because you’re wrong, but because people become jealous when other people rise.  Keep going.

Having a systematic way to follow up makes your follow-up predictable and effective.  If you attend networking events, make the most of them by following up with the people you meet (if they are a good match for you).  Follow up with people in multiple ways - text, email, and phone.

He's a writer, healer, and mentor who thinks that the biggest challenge of child-rearing is doing the personal work necessary to become the parents we want to be. He's a former attorney, restauranteur and business coach. He lives with his wife and six year old boy/girl twins in Sonoma, CA. Show Notes: The most important thing: That our children feel loved and safe. Mindfulness & Meditation help with being our best with our kids. Especially now, it’s important to stay grounded and present for our kids. Stay in the present - the past brings guilt, and the future brings fear. Staying present sometimes means pulling yourself out of the ‘world’ of Social Media, news, and conversations and back into the moment and being with your children.    

Find Shellee: https://collegereadyplan.com/ Find Robin: https://quittingculture.com About  Shellee:  Shellee Howard is the owner and president of College Ready. She is a college graduate and is a Certified Educational Planner. Shellee has a son who graduated from Harvard in the spring of 2016 debt free! Her son is currently a third-year medical student at UC San Diego. Her daughter completed her freshman year at the University of Alabama and will complete her Nursing degree this year. Shellee has traveled around the world helping students plan for their “perfect match” college. She knows what it takes to compete in the Ivy schools as well as finding the best fit for all students. Shellee believes that no two students are the same and each student must have their own strategy and plan to be successful. Each student has a gift/talent and a passion that will set him or her apart from their competition. Getting to know your student one on one is the key to success. This can be done in person or via Zoom. College Ready has clients all over the world and each one is important. Her focus is to find the best academic, financial and social fit college for each student to thrive at and graduate debt free! Show Notes You don’t always need to go to the most expensive college.  There are three things to base your college decision on: The right academic fit The right social fit The right financial fit Sometimes, It’s not where you graduate from, it’s how well you do in college. It's important to help your kids make their college choice. It is a huge decision with many implications.   You can begin the college conversation very early by planting the seed about going to college so you can have a bigger conversation with kids when they are in grade school. The process of preparing should really start when they graduate from eighth grade.  These questions will help you and your child determine where they should go and what they may want to study.  What are you passionate about? What are your core values? What are you good at? If you start early, getting college-ready can be gentle and fun….When they’re older, it ends up feeling more like firehouse preparation…. Colleges are not looking at what you’re doing to impress them. Instead, they are looking at your passion that leads to a purpose that allows you to demonstrate your leadership. Colleges want to know how you will stand out….They want to see and want students to see their uniqueness. They want to see: Early community service Early demonstration of a passion Early demonstration of leadership College Ready works with students one-on-one and creates a 'Standout Strategy' for each student. They work together to create their college-ready resume based on that strategy. Their clients have someone on their side every step of the way. Two big questions that Shelle gets asked by parents every day: How do I know what my student is passionate about? How do I pick the right college? Shellee asks them those questions and records them for parents so they can hear their answers. Have someone ‘safe’ do this with your child….it’s different being asked by someone who is curious and from whom they feel no judgment.

She inspires families raising children on the autism spectrum to find hope, purpose, and clarity even amid the stress and chaos the atypical parenting journey brings. You can have the peace and calm you seek on the home front, the purposeful and intentional family relationship you desire, and claim back the life you thought is no longer yours. From living a life of reactive chaos at the homefront as a norm, it is time to get proactive and create the harmony and best possible life for our family by leveraging TODAY to support a better future for you and your family. Our transformation begins with our one purposeful step every day. Find Stephanie: https://beyond-special.com/ Show Notes:  Having a child who is on the Autism Spectrum can be completely overwhelming and all-consuming. It's very important to care for yourself so that you can have the energy to care for your family.  If you’re not feeling excited about life, if you dread the day knowing what is ahead, you can take small steps toward more happiness. The question Stephanie asks herself is: What can I do today to make tomorrow easier? Focus on just one thing. What is the ONE thing you can do today to make tomorrow easier?  Those things compound. Those daily things add up over time and you'll see the progress.  For Stephanie, it initially was waking up earlier. Having a quiet cup of tea. It eventually became spending 5 minutes each day teaching her daughter to get dressed.   Our worries about our kids are valid but they do not help us move forward. Instead of worrying, ask the empowering question, what can I do today to make tomorrow easier.  It gives us more hope, more courage, and encouragement to keep taking small steps forward toward thriving, not just surviving.  ==============

With her Rebel Therapist Program, she helps therapists, healers, and coaches make an impact beyond traditional private practice.  She is currently offering 'Create Your Program' and she also offers a Mastermind for business owners.  Show Notes Annie has created a business centered around her values including simplicity and  boundaries to protect her energy.  Simplicity & boundaries protect her time and energy and allow her to excel at what she does, serve her clients at a higher level and honor her boundaries. We have to know ourselves and set boundaries that work for us.  Annie made a transition to her new business fairly slowly but in hindsight, she realizes it would have been better to do it faster because she had a foot in each business (which wasn't easy).  Now that Annie has one business and a standard program that she repeats, she finds herself enjoying repeating and refining her process with clients.  Question - what experiment could you run that you could use to get new information about something new you'd like to try?

An entrepreneur at heart and a communication specialist first and foremost, COVID made her reassess her priorities and the impact she wants to have on the world. Understanding the crucial role teenagers will play in the coming future, and influenced by her own story as a teenager, she has decided to help #parents improve their communications with their teenagers so they can better prepare them for adulthood. Pacale is the Founder of Parent Lead Coaching Find Robin: quitproofkids.com Show Notes:  To be in communication with our teens, we must be willing and able to adapt our parenting style.  The basis of communication is listening.  No matter how the world changes (technology, challenges, concerns) at the end of the day, our kids are humans and humans basically stay the same with the same needs for love and acceptance.   We have to be able to see the person in front of us and look at their heart and see the value in what they are bringing.  Whatever your teenager reflects back to you, you can use it to adjust your parenting and be relevant to them.

Carly believes that as women, there are more than enough obstacles holding us back from the lives we crave and deserve. Our minds should not be one of them. Find Dr. Carly: https://carlycrewe.com/  & here: https://www.eunoiamedical.ca/ SHOW NOTES: Being in communities of women is helpful because often we don't know that other women share similar thoughts and struggles. When we share the struggle, the stigma goes away. Part of mental health is choosing what’s right for us and what brings us peace. Warning signs that you have a mental health issue:  If you’re not feeling amazing, or good - what does your mental health actually feel like?  Are you 1. Not feeling like yourself? 2.  Reacting in ways that are not typical for you? 3.  Experiencing rage, irritability, or anger that isn’t normal for you? If you answer yes, then you may be dealing with stress (and sub-optimal mental health)   The pandemic has put us under tremendous stress. We are in a constant state of a low-grade flight or fight. We may not always feel worried but the body still feels the stress. If you’re not feeling like yourself, target the amygdala. It is probably over-activated (it is the fight-or-flight part of the brain). You can help your amygdala to calm down by:  Focusing on your sleep Limiting the amount you go on your phone, watch the news, open emails….to avoid scary things Exercise Connect with others ============== Find Robin:  robin@quittingculture.com, www.quitproofkids.com www.quittingculture.com  

Find Angelica  (aka Sita Sadhana Kaur): Radiant Relationships  www.angelicaisisazura.com About Angelica:  I am a proud mother of two beautiful girls. 15 years ago, after a very bad conflict at work, I discovered personal development books for myself. I set on a journey to master the art of life, to understand who I was, to find my life purpose, and most of all to understand why my life was actually not the way I wanted it to be. I spent 15 years going through the dark sides of my soul. I was caught in the drama of an emotionally and physically abusive relationship for 10 years. After my marriage dissolved I had to face the consequences of the years of abuse and self-neglect. I was suffering from PTSD. The journey to healing was not an easy one, yet it had its profound gifts for me. I experienced true healing and found my passion to help women break free from the grip of toxic relationships. I use my own intuition, Inner child work, Akashic Records, and Kundalini Yoga technology to bring true transformation into women’s lives. Find Robin  www.QuittingCulture.com

She works with badass direct sales moms to move from making $100 monthly to reaching the top 1% of their organization.  An entrepreneur since 2010, she understands the desire to contribute to your family's future and be present with them in the here and now, and how difficult balancing those two priorities can be. So Jennie has learned the hard way (while building two separate businesses, raising two kids, and navigating a divorce) to fulfill that need to contribute and be there for her children. Jennie is also known as The Direct Sales Domme. Luckily, as a Certified Professional Coach, her methods are very effective, not painful. Show Notes:  Don’t count on your friends and family to buy your products. Ask them if you can practice on them but remove any expectations that you are trying to sell them something or convince them to buy. It is important to focus on what your client needs NOT how much money you’re going to make. What problem does your product solve? Go find people who have that problem.  Solve problems for people. Don’t try to convince someone….rather, have a conversation about their problem, and see if you can help them. Referrals come from people that you’ve helped.

As Amazon’s #1 mate seeking, new release author and frequent self-improvement podcast guest, she explains it best herself: “Hi, I’m Karen! I’m not a doctor or a psychologist. I was a single mom for a thousand years (OK, eight), and I finally experienced real love after dealing with abuse, going through divorce and facing bankruptcy, foreclosure and repossession of my car – all while raising two kids alone. After struggling with self-worth and attracting the wrong partner time and time again, I realized if you want to manifest the life you’ve always wanted, you must become the person you’ve always wanted to be. I believe no matter what we’ve gone through, we can experience lasting-love – starting with ourselves.” Show Notes: For every experience  take ‘Radical Responsibility’.  Ask: How did I show up? How did I participate? What are the golden nuggets for me? How can I grow from the experience. What’s my part in this (drama triangle - (See Caneel Joyce’s Podcast with Robin) You have to pay attention and be aware that you ended up in drama again. When that happens, we have to slow down and take a step back. Ask:  What have I done to create joy and peace in my life? What have a done to create pain? Then, learn from the experience to become a better person. Ask: What is each person in my life teaching me? Ask: What do I want? When you know, become that person. If you say (as an example): 'I want someone who is 100% in integrity. I want someone who has lots of energy. I want someone who takes care of their body. I want someone who is grateful……' You have to BE those things to attract people who are those things. If I don’t speak my mind with the people in my life, then I give permission for them to do those things that bother me or things I don’t want. It’s also important to acknowledge our own growth. Don’t waste your time trying to figure out why something happens or why someone did something. Figure yourself out. That's way more productive!  =========== Connect with Robin:  robin@quittingculture.com www.QuittingCulture.com Sign up for the 5 Day Digital Detox Challenge for Moms and Kids August 2-6, 2021 here: https://www.quittingculture.com/digital-detox-challenge/ Apply for a seat in my next Pop Up Mastermind here: https://www.quittingculture.com/quitting-culture-pop-up-mastermind

SHOW NOTES When we live in our 'Zone of Genius' we enjoy 'flow' where without 'working hard'. We feel good and making a contribution is easy and natural.  Get into flow by noticing how things make you feel.  What foods make you feel good? What exercise/movement feels good? What activities feel good?  What people make you feel good when you're with them? Pay attention to how you feel and chose things that feel good and make you happy.  It takes awareness to stay in flow because we are wired to go off track. Being human means that we're inclined to go into a state of threat - meaning, there is something I need to control.  It is human nature to live in the 'Drama Triangle' where we feel like we need to be right about something. It could be as simple as being 'right' that I don't have enough time or energy or resources.  It could also be a judgment of self or of others (being right about someone).  The Drama Triangle consists of these three 'people' (any one of these can be me): Victim - Powerless, 'he/she made me', I had no choice, it's someone else's fault Villain  - Makes judgments about situations or people - right/wrong, good/bad, the critic Hero  - The one who must save, rescue, redeem, make problems go away, ends suffering To escape the 'Drama Triangle', one must surrender being 'right'. I may be right. I may be wrong. It doesn't matter.  Can you be okay with saying, 'I don't know'?
