We're gonna talk about some broader topics We're gonna talk more about instead of the specific businesses Really the the lessons that we've learned as business owners and the and the things that we the advice We might have for our audience. So now all of you are business owners All of you are successful women. You're in relationships You have personal goals, too You're all involved in the community in some way or another I I don't know where you guys find the time. You're much more active than I am I'm in bed at 10 every night as I can't keep my eyes open anymore. But how do you keep it all going, right? How do you how do you keep all those plates spinning? How do you Michelle? How do you how do you do all the things you do especially especially in fitness competition where? Eating right and sleep and getting enough water every day is so important. How do you how do you keep all this going? Honestly, it's sleep. That's the one thing Um, I I took a nap this afternoon and I kind of woke up in a daze, but at the same time I'm like, oh that was so needed You know, there's something about a nap that really repairs everything and it shuts off the monkey mind And so after the day when I've done my list and and everything's accomplished Hopefully I find that sleep is the one thing that is like the most important that I will shut off my phone And I don't go to nightclubs and I don't party, you know like by 10 o'clock And there's something about that like I actually find like if I do go out and I do have fun It takes a while to kind of repair and kind of come back to life So I find that sleep to me is like the number one thing I could never go without Alright, so you guys have to pick something else You can't say the same thing So just tell you what what Well, what how do you keep the plate spin? Well for me? This is something that I'm still learning to do But with me is just surrounding myself with other entrepreneurs or other people that are also going through what I'm going through And you know so we can be our own support team. Absolutely having a team around you We talk about that all the time is building the right team about around you Lucy That's what you help help some of these young women with their businesses Yeah, and you've got to build your tribe I couldn't I have an amazing mastermind group and I talk with them constantly and they lift me up when I'm just having like a rough day So yeah try this one point You know and some days it's really hard to keep the plate spinning like I have a one-year-old. I've got a business Life my husband is in the military and it's gone 12 hours a day Like it's some days It's it's really hard and I don't want to create that illusion of like, oh, yeah I just spend plates and like everything's great. No, it's hard I Find that yeah sleep Having that sport I work so important And as well like asking for help like I could not live without my childcare provider Important to ask for help and yeah, I think that's a lesson you've helped me learn over the last year don't be afraid so important I there there really are Las Vegas is a very unique city and it has a reputation of being a very hard place But I got to say and especially after October 1st this community if you ask for help There are people who will help you here and that's that's a great piece of advice for our Viewers and people are thinking about starting a business. Don't be afraid to ask for help Someone will help you not everyone But there are there are people out there who really want to help other people What I love about Vegas actually is that the fact that? Women work together so well when it comes to like when they say what they do or what they're involved in and then and then They say oh, I know someone you should meet. It's a very Just doing this in the green And so Lisa Chastain just little name drop Yeah, like I find that women and I don't know if it's like a social media thing or it's it's like Now current is like women tethering together so well with empowering motivating and Entrepreneurial ship like never before yeah, I don't mean to like, you know push you out This shows about your stories not about mine If I if I thought a show people would watch a show about me telling my story I would just sit here and tell my story, but but I want to pull this thread a little bit I got a lot of questions, but I'm gonna pull this thread because one of things I've learned getting into business is that there are a lot of women's support groups both formal and informal And I think you all belong to some of the women's support group I don't want the women's networking groups the women's business Association I want to call them support groups because they're they're more structured than that But what are some of the groups you belong to where where women business owners can get that support? Maybe go ask for help if they if they need it So I'm actually really big in like online communities And that's just how things have played out having a one-year-old and a business and just you know I've been through a season where I've been at home a lot and so I've had to lean on online communities So boss mom was the first community that I really must myself into I found all of my clients through that community I found my mastermind my business coach my team members everything. Yeah, 25,000 people now. It's it's growing so fast So search for it not now Boss mom on Facebook. Yes. Okay. She told me what what groups are you in? Right now I started going to through Lori's group. Okay Limitless. It's just started limitless. Okay, Loreal Jerry. I don't think she's watching but we'll give her a little plug Because if if there's a group in Las Vegas, especially a women's group Lori's involved in it So so look up Loreal Jerry on Facebook I'll give her a little plug because she she can she knows everybody and she connects everybody men women all together so So when I moved to Vegas, there was a mixer group that Completely changed my life and that's thanks to a vet. I was here in cosmopolitan connections. It's every Wednesday It's from seven to nine. It's at different locations And if it wasn't for a vet, she's the one who linked me up with a gentleman from Kale KLAV Radio and that's kind of how I started my broadcasting. So it's all word of mouth It's all about who you know, but I think face to face even though on the internet. It's great to go live like you do Lucy But yeah, I find that my fitness team with my women That definitely kind of centers in on business ideas to kind of what do you think about this? And what do you think about that? But Ultimately networking groups cosmopolitan connections was the best. It was it's a good group awesome group. It's a good group. Yeah Businesses come with a lot of surprises. What's the biggest surprise you found once you got into business Lucy? Oh Probably just growing pains and being able to identify them I've kind of been going through this lately. My business is growing a lot in the past year And I sort of hit this point where things just felt a little bit harder And I had to figure out with the help of my kind of support network that I was going through growing pains And that's a good thing. Yeah a good problem to have right But it just like it's hard to have that personal growth and that business growth and just sort of shift things a little bit And adjust and get ready for that And now into the next stage as well because you have that like startup stage the growth stage the scaling stage And like I'm really in that growth stage now Which is awesome. Yeah, but like it's it's been a journey. It's challenging. Yeah. Yeah, well, we've talked about support group So if you're looking for some help Start right here. I mean not with me So how about you shitori? What was a big surprise to you with me? I actually About a year and a half ago. I got into I did a career of our door-to-door sales So with that I said, okay I'm a young woman. It's gonna be very very easy knocking on someone's door But actually that I learned that people don't want to be bothered So I had to learn how to communicate with people and also learn how to sell So that was actually probably one of my biggest surprises so far. Well, welcome Alex Livingston Haven't heard from you in a while, but thank you for watching the show if you've got any questions for our group Tracy's here too. Thanks for joining us. How about you Michelle? What was one of the surprise? I mean you're you've been involved in so many things It's it's probably been a constant series of surprises as you've moved as you've evolved through all things You've done, but what's a what's a big surprise you got once you started getting into? Don't be afraid to wear many hats at once, right Lucy. Mm-hmm got to be multitasking and wearing different hats at once but one of the things I find is that don't be don't be so hard on yourself Especially social media and comparing and all that stuff But don't be afraid to take two steps back to take one step forward because I find with weight training I really want to Lift heavier and I want to go harder But I find at the end of the day like I'm so worn out that I kind of have to be easier on myself to rest Repair do the things that are necessary in order to go back and like really kick some ass. Sorry That speaks to me so much especially I've been calling like the growing pains like going through a renovation Like my business was a house. Yeah, I'm like doing a renovation Absolutely, it's so important to take those steps back to do that self-reflection And sometimes when you're growing really fast, you might be growing you hopefully are growing in the direction You want to grow you might be getting an opportunity to grow in a great direction and think of but sometimes you might be growing in Direction that isn't where you want to go.
