Full Freedom for Entrepreneurs with Skye Barbour

We are super excited to welcome our guest Paula Carnell on the podcast today! Paula has a very deep connection to bees and is sharing how bees and humans relate. Humans and bees share similarities, including what makes them each healthy. Through exploring both humans’ and bees’ needs (not knees!), we can find sustainable ways to help both species truly thrive. Another way bees compare to humans is the structure of their beehive. With a strong democracy and an equal sharing of the workload, beehives are a great example of how to run an effective business. Connecting with nature is an important part of keeping one’s self heath and happy, as well as helping one connect with others. It’s un-bee-lievable the impact that bees have on us and the earth around us! Get to Know Paula: Paula Carnell is a bee and honey expert who has challenged the conventional beekeeping world with her natural and sustainable approach to beekeeping and honey production. As the lead beekeeper at The Newt in Somerset responsible for establishing their native honey and other bee species along with bee Safaris, honey tastings and the 'Beezantium' she has gained a reputation for shaking up the system and inspiring other businesses to consider the wider aspects of 'saving the bees'. Her TEDx talk shared her understanding of how bees taught her that we are all connected, and by killing the bees we are ultimately killing ourselves. Author of two books, and two more on the way, numerous podcast interviews and speaking globally, Paula is becoming the go to name in understanding how we can really save the bees, and which bees need saving!

Do you ever find that you're over-labeling yourself? I, for one, tend to label myself as indecisive. However, using these labels leaves us stuck in our ways and could be a potential roadblock for our growth. It’s time to stop over labeling ourselves. In the process of over labeling, we begin to identify ourselves as a behavior rather than a person. This identifying behavior then protects us against failure. We all have an inner protector. It keeps us busy and prevents us from ever failing. Today, we are focusing on how to strip back our inner protector to stop being the martyr!

Let’s start today’s discussion with a story about Lisa. Lisa is an amazing entrepreneur who has an amazing team behind her, however she still feels overwhelmed with her workload. Despite a team supporting her, Lisa continues to carry the stress of the company on her shoulders. While Lisa is a fantastic business owner, she needs help taking time for herself. Many of us are like Lisa and don’t understand the value of our time. We overwork ourselves to prove our strength and great capabilities. What we need to start asking ourselves is: are we spending our time right? You can always make more money, but the time that we spend is limited. Start honoring your time, because your time is valuable! Email me at skye@skyebarbour.com Which freedom block is holding your business back?

The way we are wired affects how we show up in our businesses and it affects the growth of our businesses and teams. So we work on leadership. We work on ourselves. We support our teams. We bring in profit. And we lead lives with full freedom; extraordinary lives. I grew up surrounded by highly emotional people. I have had to learn for myself how to stay centered in a variety of stressful situations. It’s our responsibility to look at what is going on, not get drawn in. Think of wisdom and strength as you breath through the hard moments. When something triggers you, scares you or irritates you, ask yourself, “What is this really about?” and be honest about the answer.

It’s easy to be strong and magnanimous when things are going well and when we feel secure in the world, but what about then things are uncertain? How can you lead a team when things seem shaky or when you need to make changes to your business? How can we fortify our businesses for the next crisis you may face? Today I’m walking you through a few steps that have really helped me grow into a business leader who can handle whatever comes her way. Get some quick wins so you rebuild momentum and confidence.

What does wealth expansion look like in your life? More Joy, love, time, space? Get used to the idea of infinite receiving! In today’s conversation we’ll teach you how to go as deep as you desire with your purpose so you can live on purpose. It’s the job of some people among us to teach that we have permission to have ‘the frequency of more’ and Suzy is one of those people. That is her purpose, without judgment. Have you just been tolerating the fact that you are living a life that is unfulfilling and unsatisfying? Make peace with the fact that there are no wasted steps. Your life is like a dot-to-dot picture. When you’re in the day you can’t see what it is you’re creating, but after some time you can start to see certain parts of the picture and it begins to look amazing.

Are you wanting to create more harmony, joy, fun and flow in your business? All of this is done through creating a winning culture - a culture where everyone has one united vision, and this is all led by you. What is culture? It’s the established norm. It’s how you do things in your business. It’s all decided by your leadership. In today’s episode, I share three steps on how to establish a winning culture: Define the way you want life to be. Hire and fire to those company cultures and visions.Give people ownership of an outcome, not just the task. Through these three steps you’ll be able to improve the culture in your business, ensuring that you are the designer of your business rather than the sole driver.

050 Financial Freedom with Catherine Morgan Psst! Want to hear an inside chat with a financial planner and coach? Then be sure to hit play on today’s episode. Skye is chatting with Catherine Mortan, author of “It’s not About the Money” all about making money and holding onto money! So how can you work on decreasing anxiety and increasing financial resilience? Women have multiple generations’ worth of borrowed beliefs that hold us back financially. Some of these beliefs serve us and some sabotage us. We feel compelled to hoard and protect our money. The take-aways: Our ability to receive money is mirrored by our ability to be loved. The way we treat money is a reflection of the way we treat ourselves. It’s not a great habit to use money as a tool to feel better about yourself. To test the healthiness of your relationship with money ask yourself these questions: How do you receive compliments? Are you 100% open to receive them? What is your relationship to your own life? We also dive into Epigenetics, tapping, emotional understanding of your fear, guilt, shame and anxiety which unlocks your ability to grow in every way, not just financially.

One of the best ways to improve your business is to truly know yourself, but how does one accomplish this? Sometimes we are shamed into believing that there is one right way to be or that you need tangible evidence to really see growth in your business, but that is not true. Today we explore the important question: how do you see your uniqueness? It’s important to own your work and to own it for what it is. Only through that confidence, can we truly own our uniqueness and see growth in our business from it. Points to remember: I am enough. I am an excellent _____ . (fill in the blank!) I own my gifts.

I’m not a psychologist, by any means, but I have learned something very helpful regarding decision-making that I want to talk about today. I work with two totally different kinds of people: logical thinkers and emotional thinkers. When we’re making important decisions in our lives and in our businesses, which operating style should we favor? Should we trust data or intuition? Listen in to hear the full scope of my advice but I’ll cut to the chase here as well: Get the data! Get the facts you need. What is the situation? Yes, of course, listen to your gut if you are feeling like something isn’t completely right or if you feel like something needs to improve, but don’t make any decisions until you have the facts. How do I know…? …How to tell my thoughts from my feelings? …When my negative feeling is my critical block trying to keep me safe? …When my negative feeling is my intuition? …How to make a decision when I’m caught up in a negative emotion?

Yesterday was my birthday and even though it was a lovely day, it was quite ordinary. I was completely fine with my birthday being just like any other average day, but I kept feeling this nagging shame about it. I kept having the thought that it should be more special, more fun. As I followed this line of thought I realized something very interesting. I wasn’t sad about my uneventful birthday, I was sad about what other people would think about my uneventful birthday. Isn’t that fascinating? So, as you go about your normal days, and your special days, even your birthdays, remember to focus on how you feel about it and what other people will think about it.

If you have a critical block then you know what it feels like to have a little devil on your shoulder telling you that you “can’t.” Can’t do it. Can’t build a team. Can’t run a sustainable business. This critical block makes you want to run and hide. Once I decided that I wanted to run a business teaching leadership, it took me three years to actually leave my corporate job and start the thing. Three years! For goodness sake let me help you so it doesn’t take you three years, too.
