Focused Fifteen Series Recap
Alignment and Leaning Into Your Intuition
APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER
I recently took a turn down a road I’ve never driven. Though I had an idea, I wasn’t sure where it would come out. I decided to follow my intuition, and trust my gut, and low and behold, I ended up exactly where I needed to be.
In business, sometimes we have to take a turn that seems risky, but in the end, we end up exactly where we’re meant to go. We can always course-correct and turn back around. If we don’t take risks, we’ll always be on the same linear path. If we take the road we’ve never been down and go where we’ve never gone before, opportunities are endless.
Niching Down in Your Business
APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER
In this episode, I talk about the power of niching down in your business, focusing on one specific thing, and going all in. When you get really good at your area of expertise, you become known for it.
Amazon is a perfect example of the power of niching down. When I was in college, Amazon was the go-to spot for textbooks. They became a powerhouse book delivery service. Once they built their name and reputation, they expanded into what they’ve become today.
Their concept can be applied in everyday life. If we focus on one thing, we get REALLY good at it. We can’t learn five hobbies at once, split our time among them, and expect to be AWESOME at them all. Bringing that into the business world, we feel like if we niche down, we’re saying “no” to all of the opportunities out there. When in reality what we’re doing is proving that we’re an expert in a certain area, which enables others to spread your name widely.
