Secrets to Building a Wildly Successful Business with Beth McCord

Welcome to the show today! We are in the middle of Smart Girl Summer. Today we are with one of my favorite smart women in the world, Beth McCord, better known as Your Enneagram Coach. I love doing these smart girl summer episodes. I learned quite a bit and I'm sure you will too. 

Beth McCord is an accomplished Enneagram speaker, author, coach, and teacher with over two decades of dedicated experience. In her new book, The Enneagram for Moms: See the True Colors of Yourself and Your Children as God Intends, Beth blends Enneagram wisdom with practical insights to foster authentic and healthy family dynamics.

Join Beth and I as we talk about:

• What is working for businesses in 2024

• Evaluating what is working and making changes

• How to maximize our time

• Choosing new projects

• What Beth is working on now

• Best practice for creating online courses

Favorite quotes: 

• “There is a lot of being curious, figuring things out, and being flexible. Being flexible is one of the biggest things.”  (9:06 audio)

• “What can we do with the time we have and maximize it? That is the key here.”  (12:57  audio)

• “God created her to be her personality for her kids and their personalities. He didn’t make a mistake, so how can we celebrate that, and how can we own our weaknesses but not in a shameful, guilty, judging way? How can we see those and grow from them?”  (24:45 audio)

• “With courses, how can you say the same content and message as quickly, efficiently, practical, and applicable as possible? I would aim for bite-sized lessons.”  ( (26:54 audio)

Escaping the Mediocrity Trap: A Guide to Getting Unstuck

In this week’s coaching, I share tips for recognizing mediocrity situations and practical steps to escape the mediocrity trip. The mediocrity trap is one of the trickiest ruts to escape. Unlike terrible situations that, once you are out, often turn into funny stories or proud memories, mediocre situations drag on and become what I call the "Lost Years."  The biggest obstacle to getting unstuck is often our own mindset. Don’t settle for a life that’s just okay.
