What story are your numbers telling you? In this week’s podcast episode, I’m joined by our team’s Integrator, Terri Johnson, as we talk about paying attention to the data and what it reveals. We discuss: Why it’s important to pay attention to your numbers How your personal money mindset can create resistance to talking about data Specific examples of expenses and revenue to track How the numbers can show you what to focus your time and effort on, and what to stop doing The method we use for tracking data at the REALIFE Process® As a business, you can’t know where you’re going if you don’t pay attention to where you’ve been. Numbers and data can give you a concrete picture of what’s working and what’s not. As you listen to this episode, we hope it helps you identify exactly what to track in your business as we move into a new year.

Merry Christmas! As you're unwrapping presents and celebrating this week, there's one last gift just for you... This replay episode of the podcast is a special one with a story and a song. As a Type 3 on the Enneagram, I connect with the 3-6-9 Harmony Triad. I also have a very strong Type 4 wing which invites me to be creative and original. From a very young age, I've loved to write music. As I've come to embrace the Enneagram as a tool for harmony and transformation, I learned how songwriting really invites me to be present in all three centers of intelligence as it engages: The body movement of writing the song The intellect of the words and lyrics coming together The expression of the heart This Christmas, I wanted to give you a FULL CIRCLE gift–one that's transparent, vulnerable, and straight from my heart to yours. May your Christmas be full of extraordinary moments! REALIFE Resources:If you’re ready to discover what matters to you, download our FREE Intro to REALIFE Needs and Values Assessment.

How can you identify your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to make decisions about what to do next? Our entire team joined me for this episode that we recorded together on our recent REALIFE Process® Team Retreat! Using the S.W.O.T. Analysis, we share some of our team’s discoveries as we answered these questions: What are your strengths that set you apart? What are your weaknesses? Where do you need to improve? What opportunities are open to you? What are your threats or competition? What are the factors outside of your control? Taking time to name what you do well and where you can improve can help you identify the projects you want to focus on next. I hope that hearing our team’s answers to these questions will help you as you process your own S.W.O.T. analysis, whether as an individual business owner or with your team.

What would you give to have a tool you can take with you anywhere that helps you to notice your adaptive patterns and move to something more authentic? In this replay episode, we are sharing one of the key tools we use here at the REALIFE Process® called the N.O.W. Process Tool. Through the lens of the Enneagram and the N.O.W. Process, we've learned that thoughts produce feelings, feelings drive actions, and actions or behaviors lead to results. Both brain research and Biblical truth remind us that we have the ability to "renew our minds." We're so excited to share with you our N.O.W. Process Tool that invites you to name your circumstance, identify your adaptive thoughts, feelings, actions, and current results in order to realistically reframe the thought to something believable and authentic that renews your feelings, actions and eventually changes behaviors and results. Pull up a chair to this conversation as two of our REALIFE Process Coaches, Terri Johnson and Erica Vinson share: The components of the N.O.W. Process Tool Personal examples from REALIFE that display the power of renewing your mind Practical ways to identify thoughts and feelings that allow you to create new actions and results We hope this episode helps you in your own REALIFE and in the work you do to help others.
