Squirrels, Unicorns & Shiny Things

Wait, what was I doing again? When is my next Zoom? Where did I put down that cup of coffee from earlier? From flashy to fancy, sparkly to squirrelling and all the bling in between, Kim and Kerry are riding unicorns today and talking all about those dratted distractions as entrepreneurs and small business owners. Do not be fooled, while you can listen to this episode while driving, cooking or doing a myriad of other tasks at the same time – you may find your ears are pricked, engaged and loving the learning provided within the walls of this episode. Listen in as Kim and Kerry dodge a darting squirrel or two and chat about:

• How distraction is not necessarily a dirty word. Setting time aside to catch some flying unicorns and allow our attention to wander, give ourselves the freedom to daydream and even popping it into our calendar to help ourselves be accountable.
• Specific times where we need to guard ourselves against distractions, in order to achieve accomplishment and move the needle. The benefit of scheduling the week for both heavy days and catch-up reset time, rather than random unicorns in times of overwhelm.
• How Kerry describes and manages her pent up puppy dog energy. Has it improved over the years?
• What do bandwidth and buffering have to do with it? How they can be signals for us to take a break, seek out a different way to engage our brain, sleep on it and powerfully refocus ourselves back to productivity. 

Will Kerry’s poster on the wall live up to its reputation? If you’re bursting to find out and learn how to ride your own entrepreneurial unicorn, the Fire Up Groundwork Brigade is ready and waiting. Afterall, we are human and there are so many shiny moving parts when you start a business.

We hope you enjoy this experience 🙏
