Guest: Jessica McLaren; Owner of the company “Next Level Life”, Family and relationship coach, and a community builder.

Today’s Episode Summary:

Today’s guest, Jessica McLaren, transitioned from being a principal teacher to an entrepreneur. She came into the world of entrepreneurship to create an impact on the world and she is doing that very beautifully. Jessica is traveling around the world to help other people to elevate their level of success. Today Jessica is sharing with us her thoughts on becoming an entrepreneur, her travel experience during the pandemic, and her journey of personal transformation.

A lot of people look at entrepreneurs and fascinate their lives and fame but they don’t see their immense hard work. They just see the tip of an iceberg and assume that entrepreneurs have a lot of money and they can do whatever they want to do. But the truth is, being an entrepreneur is not as easy as it appears. It is a difficult path and it is almost synonymous with going through a grind. But if you are an entrepreneur by your choice and you are doing something that you love – regardless of how many hours you are putting in – and your work is truly aligned with your core values then you don’t feel the hard work. Rather you willingly put hours into your work.

Jessica says that to achieve success in life you don’t need to live the way society expects you to live. You don’t need to do a 9 to 5 job, you don’t need to earn a certain level of income to be happy, and you don’t need to retire at a certain age – work as many days as you want. Live your life the way you want to live it and make your own decisions because we achieve success only when we live authentically as our true selves, at our soul level, and in alignment with our true mission, purpose, and passion in life. But if we put our energy into something that doesn’t relate to us then we cannot be successful.

Don’t avoid or suppress your emotions because emotion is a powerful tool and every human emotion serves a greater purpose. Moreover, live in the present moment and don’t bother yourself about the past because you cannot change it. Let your past go and enjoy your present. You cannot change your past but you can manipulate your future through visualization and manifestation. Also, don’t try to control the uncontrollable events of your life and surrender in front of uncontrollable things and then see the magic.

Listen to the podcast to learn in detail how all of these things work together and take you toward success. Tune in and enjoy the conversation.

Today’s Episode Summary:

My today’s guest, Tomas Kennan, started his entrepreneurial journey from a very humble beginning. He started his journey from being a custom car audio installer and after continuous struggles, he achieved his jackpot; he transitioned from being a technician to the CEO of top-class installations. Tomas is now working as a business coach and helps other entrepreneurs in multiplying their business. Today Tomas is sharing with us his entrepreneurial journey and his life lessons so that we could learn and use his experience to our advantage.

Tomas tried and experienced multiple things before reaching his ultimate ‘Why’. He encourages people that you shouldn’t stop trying to reach your jackpot regardless of how many No’s you hear in life. He says that you will hear a bunch of no’s in the process of success, so instead of stopping you should observe your decisions and your path, get lessons from it, and move on.

When Tomas started his first business, he used to do everything on his own. He was operating as a filter, which passes everything, which led him to close his business as a result of his damaged health. Thomas says that he wanted to build a business that is reliant on him only, but that was not the right thing to do. Handling everything in your business on your own is not a professional way to handle a business. If you will start doing that, your business will become a stressful business and it will cost you your health. Most business people ignore their health and give their whole self to their business and their business ultimately consumes them. We as human beings need to priorities our health over everything else because work is not the only thing that matters in life.

After the first failed attempt of business, Tomas learned the business from various coaches and came back into the world of business. He transitioned from the car audio installer and started the Installation Company specializing in GPS tracking and dashboard camera installation in commercial trucks. He started this new business at the time of recession, but he was confident that he will make it work and he did it. He says that it’s not a recession that could stop you from doing something great; it can only be your own self. There is never a right time to start a business, get married, buy a house, have kids, etc. Just do it now and stop waiting for the perfect moment. Simple is that: Take the risk, Do it now, and Make it work.

Tomas also discusses that if you have a growth mindset and you are involved in any self-development process then you should also bring other people around you in this process. For example, you should bring your spouse into the process of self-development so that he/she could also grow with you. Your spouse’s involvement will not only benefit him/her but it will also benefit you. If you will not involve your spouse in the growth circle then your partner won’t grow and ultimately you both will have nothing to talk about. So, bring your partner in the growth circle, involve hi/her with you, and grow together.

There is much more information in today’s podcast, so tune in and enjoy the conversation.
