Back on my paddleboard and thinking about the last episode recording with Graham. This week I am reflecting on some of the critical pieces to success in business with your partner, that we didn't dig into in the last episode. The behind the scenes pieces that set everything else up for winning.
Meet Graham Beatty - my business partner and more importantly, life partner. In this episode Graham & I are talking about what it takes to successfully live together, raise kids and own a business together. We share the challenges and also what worked for us. If you are in business with your partner, are thinking about going into business with your partner, or just want a peak into the craziness that has been our shared life, then take a listen to this episode. Warning: This episode may contain an offensive level of mutual admiration - consider yourself warned.
Worrying does not prepare you for the future, it only steals the peace from your current moment. Today we are talking about taking a different perspective on the "need" to worry. If you have a tendency to worry if you're not worrying, then today's episode is for you.

In this episode Alani shares her journey from being a human intelligence officer, at 5'3, a woman of colour and looking very young for her age, believing she was not suited for this position, to now helping high-performers hunt the terrorists in their mind that are stopping them from reaching their full potential. If you have ever dealt with imposter syndrome or self-doubt, and let's be real - if you're here, chances are you have - this is a not-to-be-missed episode. Alani shares real life, practical strategies for identifying and taking on the terrorists that attach our minds. Listen now!

There's always a silver lining to be found. One of the things a lot of us begrudge in the building of our businesses is all the hats we have to wear - it can be exhausting and often the source when we want to throw in the towel.

Listen in if you're still wearing too many hats and are tired of it all - this episode will help you see things a little different.

A lot of the women business owners I meet in the construction industry are high performers and high performers notoriously have high standards, understandable when you want to build something big that makes a difference. The challenge comes in when the expectations you have for yourself creep into being the best at all the things you do. And while you can be excellent at anything you set your mind to, you can't be excellent at everything at the same time. Today we are talking about picking your priorities and being great at what's most important in this season of your life.
