This week, Lani pivots from tactics to talk about something most growth plans ignore: your emotions. If you’ve been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, doubtful—or like Q4 should feel abundant but doesn’t—this episode is your reset. Lani shows how to treat emotions as signals (not weaknesses), use “expansion vs. contraction” as a decision compass, and integrate emotional data into strategies you can actually sustain.
Key Takeaways
- Your emotions are signals, not character flaws. Ignoring them sabotages growth.
- Expansion feels open, energized, clear. Contraction feels closed, heavy, resistant.
- Notice the signal → ask what you need → adjust the plan.
- Sustainable profit (time, energy, income, fulfillment) comes from aligned strategy—not more hustle.
Action Steps
- Name it: Where are you feeling expanded? Where are you contracted? Write it down.
- Check-in: Pick 3 areas (sales, marketing, delivery—or home, health, relationships) and do a quick red light/green light scan.
- Micro-adjust: Choose one contracted area and make a 10-minute pivot (simplify a deliverable, tweak messaging, add a boundary, take a real lunch, step outside for 5 minutes).
- Permission slip: Literally write, “I give myself permission to ________,” and honor it.
- Get support: If you’re stuck, DM Lani “expansion” and share what’s coming up, or book a strategy call.
