Today we have one of the most financially successful guests we’ve ever had on the show. Rob Moore is a beast of business.   Rob lives and loves entrepreneurship and property investing. He is on a mission to change the way people think about business and aims to support people around the globe through the Rob Moore foundation.   Rob co-founded Progressive Property – the UK’s leading property training company – and Progressive Success with his business partner, before becoming the host of the wildly successful podcast The “Disruptive Entrepreneur” and now The “Money” Podcast, listened to in 192 countries worldwide. This has grown into a complete digital agency: Progressive Media.    A self-made multi-millionaire by the age of 30, having risen to riches from being heavily in debt in his 20s, Rob has retired and un-retired countless times, each time creating new innovation, vision, book or the entire company. He continues to disrupt as an entrepreneur and businessman, with interests ranging from property development to public speaking and digital media. He is a writer, communicator, social media influencer, and philanthropist.

All his profits from his book, Money,  goto the foundation.   Today’s conversation is a raw, real, and vulnerable look at what it looks like to be an entrepreneur chasing THINGS, and yet when you reach those things, realize that’s not all there is. Rob engages in a powerful, honest conversation about his journey as an entrepreneur.

If you’re listening to this episode… I’m gonna guess that’s how you feel right about now. You’re in the thick of it. You’re wayyyy overwhelmed. Your to do list is quite literally a mile long with no end in sight. Everyone needs your attention RIGHT NOW and you wish you could be in 4 places at once.    We feel you. We’ve been you. We ARE you.

You’re overwhelmed. You need to solve it. We’re here to help you do that.

Today we got to talk to one of our best friends in the world. If you follow us on Instagram you’ve probably heard us talk about her, the wonderful and amazing Sena Nelson.   Sena runs a lifestyle and motherhood social media brand where she focuses on sharing content of her family, faith, nature, and living a life of simplicity. She built her brand as a lifestyle mom blogger and over the course of the years has now turned it into a full time job as a content creator, influencer, course creator, and preset seller. She’s a momma to four kids with one on the way and her husband Eric is in the US navy. Sena and her family have spent the last 8 years in Hawaii, and recently moved to London last year. They can currently be found traveling Europe and documenting life as expats over the next few years over on her instagram account @senaenelson.    Lindsey met Sena when she first moved to Hawaii, and they clicked IMMEDIATELY. She instantly became a fast friend and they ended up being neighbors on the island. Over the years of getting to know her, Lindsey watched her successfully navigate building an online brand around family, motherhood, and lifestyle content creation. That’s what we sat down to chat with her about!   Sena absolutely CRUSHES the very specific niche of “mommy-blogging” on Instagram and she has a world of wisdom to share when it comes to that. In today’s episode, we chat all things growing your Instagram account as a family influencer, collaborating and working with companies, balancing motherhood while also running an online business, navigating the challenging waters of having your job be capturing your family while also trying to stay in the moment as a mother, and so much more. We dive into all of that and basically have an hour long girl chat so grab some wine, popcorn, or drink or snack of choice, make sure your kiddos are napping so you can fully focus on the wisdom Sena shares.   Show notes: http://theheartuniversity.com/085-motherhood-and-growing-your-account-as-a-family-influencer-with-sena-nelson   HoneyBook: share.honeybook.com/heart  In addition to a FREE 7 day trial, get 50% off your first year of HoneyBook, a $200 value!!    www.theheartuniversity.com/apps   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   www.senaenelson.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUa_5TeTEe23bIXeB8unvXA   Follow along: www.instagram.com/senaenelson  www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity

Are you the person that struggles to stay organized? Start to implement a plan but then find yourself back to where you started a couple weeks later?  If so, buckle up as we are going to help you reorganize your work and life!  Our special guest is one of our favorite people, Rachel Hannah. A former teacher turned executive assistant, who is now the right-hand woman for Evie, Lindsey, and The Heart University. She basically does EVERYTHING for us! She saves us so much time, our lives, and our sanity. We literally could not do work without her and would have way less of a life without this woman working with us and alongside.  Today Rachel will be diving into a conversation all about organization. If there is anyone in the world who we consider a master of this, it would be Rachel. We will talk about the four things that we think are most vital to mastering the organization and saving time in your life. Including tips on utilizing schedules, how to stay focused, the importance of play (I know shocking right?!), and meal planning for your weeks.  We are so excited about this conversation because Rachel and Evie are extreme opposites in personality. Rachel is naturally structured and organized- Enneagram One, while Evie is naturally a hot mess express- Enneagram Seven. Bringing two very different perspectives to organizations that will help anyone out there that is wanting to master it.  Trust me if we can learn how to be organized and embrace structure.
