And it's taken me years and years to find those people. But now that I have, it's truly the only reason that I'm able to continue forward with having a really successful business. is because I have people around me that not only care about me and my health and making sure that I'm able to take care of myself.
If I'm not able to get out of bed one day, I know that these people have my back and that they're going to take just as good of care of our clients. They want to build relationships. They put heart into everything that they do. And I honestly don't know what I would do without my amazing team.
But it's taken years and years of coaching and therapy and mentors to help me understand that I can't do it all by myself. And I need to, delegation is actually giving someone the opportunity to be their best and to empower them. And I will continue to learn how to do it, but I believe in teamwork more than anything.
Yeah, and that's what I would love nothing more is to be able to give people hope in whatever challenge or adversity that you're going through. But I would first say it's okay. It's okay to acknowledge when you're struggling. When you're going through hardship, there is somewhat of a toxic positivity that people can say, oh, just don't think about it. Like, you'll be fine.
No, it's acknowledged that you're going through a significant challenge. But don't allow yourself to get stuck there. And oftentimes I believe that we have a thought, a vision that we have to make all of these changes at one time.
That all of a sudden we're supposed to have a completely new mindset and we're supposed to be able to have the ability to rewire our brains and we're not supposed to hurt and... Everything seems like it's supposed to all happen at once. But what I've learned is the key is to take baby steps. Every single day, if we can focus.
One of my favorite books, Atomic Habits, talks about if we focus on being 1% better every day. then imagine how much that will accumulate over a year. If you're looking to get healthier, start by walking five minutes outside and then try six and then try 10.
and that break everything into smaller steps if you're looking to you know create routines in your life for example a morning routine start with two things that you're gonna consistently do every day and commit to them and for me i have to keep myself accountable by actually like printing out
my my must do's and checking them off every day because if i don't keep if i don't do that i won't hold myself accountable to doing the the things that i have to do to stay in a positive mindset or in a healthier place so find what small items in your life activities that you can implement and that you can commit to implementing that are going to be small at first.
But over time, those small changes that you hold yourself accountable to are going to add up to being completely life changing changes. And before you know it, the amount that the amount of growth and change and development that you can
create by having these small routines and being one percent better than you were the day before these are going to add up to monumental changes in your life and I promise that it's going to It's going to help you get through whatever challenge it is because you have something positive to focus on.
And when you have something positive to focus on, you can get through any challenge that life throws your way. And I truly believe that.
I completely agree. I write everything down by hand in a notebook. I believe that if you see yourself writing it, it gets into your brain and you're able to visualize it and internalize it in a completely different way. Thank you for adding that because I have a journal that I bring with me everywhere to write my positive affirmations that are my goals. It makes a huge difference.
And I really believe in the power of using just a pen and paper, which is something everyone can do. But these are tools that we have at our fingertips to hold ourselves accountable to being the best that we can be, no matter the situation that we're in.
You just gave me the biggest smile because I am a huge supporter of writing. It needs to be hand, paper, put your phone away and go. Just make it simple.
Thank you for your time and sharing. Thank you. I appreciate your time and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day. And I hope this inspires anyone out there. Please feel free to contact me if you need support.
Good afternoon, or good morning to you, I should say. Thank you so much for having me. It is a cold, snowy night. So Asena, let's start with your story. As you mentioned, I am in Denver, Colorado. I was born and raised here in Colorado. I was actually raised in a small mountain town called Breckenridge.
For those of you who are skiers or snowboarders, you've probably heard of Breckenridge at some point. Knowing this piece of information, it will set you up for how really my life unfolded because I learned I could walk. So I believe I was two years old. My dad was a professional skier and I like to say I didn't even have a chance.
He had me on skis from the time I could walk and at age 15, I ended up going professional at skiing. So at a very young age, I was basically traveling the world skiing about 300 days a year with some of the top coaches in the entire world. And
I always say that skiing is the best business school that I ever could have asked for or could have gone to because skiing truly set the stage for my success in business, which I'll get into a little bit later. And after becoming a professional skier, after I think nine knee surgeries, I decided it was time for me to hang up the skis and go into another field. And
