The C-Suite Mentor - Business Growth for Small Business Leaders with Theresa Cantley

In todays episode I share three of the best things you can do when you're feeling stuck with your business.

In this weeks episode we have a very special guest - Anthony Trucks! We talk all bout how to taking "shift" seriously no matter what venture you are on in life will be the difference between who you are today and becoming the person you've always wanted to be.

The guest I've welcomed onto the show with me today is someone who embodies resilience more than anyone else I know, my friend Vanessa. Not only is she one of my closest friends, but she was also my first mentor in business. We've been through countless ups and downs together, and she has been through plenty on her own with her battle with cancer. But she is strong and thriving and refuses to give...

Many small business owners are afraid of their numbers. They don't look at any metrics at all and run things by "gut feelings" or what have you. That's all fine and dandy if you don't care whether or not your business thrives. But if you really want to see that growth in your business and find ways to move it forward, analyzing your numbers is absolutely necessary.

Business owners from every walk of life are struggling right now, and my clients are feeling the struggle as well. I've been there countless times. Maybe not this exact situation, but I've been through the sinking feeling and the overwhelm and feeling like I simply cannot make it work. What I tell people to remember is that you can always bet on yourself.

Wherever you are in your business journey, I encourage you to reflect a little on your past and all of the things that have shaped you into who you are today. All of the experiences you've been through, good or bad, can leave a big impact on your life. You may not have realized it in the moment, but when you take the time to think about where you've been, a lot of times it helps you find out where...

Any time I want to talk about habits with clients, people tend to get squeamish. They begin to think that I only want to focus on the bad ones that they have, when in reality, the good ones are just as important to discuss. When we build on these good habits, they can leave us a more disciplined person that gets stuff done.

It's easy to lose track of your path to success, especially in tough times. We start to veer from that alignment we have with our vision and that's when we start to burn ourselves out and feel out of control. All it takes to get back on course is slowing down and really gaining clarity on our business. And most importantly, realizing that feeling this way is completely normal in any journey to suc...

This week we have our very first guest ever, my husband, Dennis. I talked Dennis into coming on because he is a projects manager for a software company and deals with all types of mergers and keeping things in order. In this weeks episode we discuss what is urgent versus what is important. Being an entrepreneur, or a project manager, we will get into this state of working where we wake up and imme...

When we as business owners first start out, our vision is in center focus. We can clearly see the future we want for ourselves and how we want to make it happen through our business. Though it seems the more and more we get into building the business, the more we lose sight of that vision. We get into this mode of staying busy, doing anything and everything with no end in sight. These tasks may se...

There is something that I have always seemed to struggle with. At times it ruled my life and my business to the point where I would break down in tears because I just didn't know how to fix it. But until I made the decision to set real boundaries for myself was when I could finally begin to breathe and think clearly again. In this weeks episode we talk about why it's so important to set boundaries...

In this weeks episode I talk about the lessons learned from adopting 2 new puppies and how striving for perfection all the time can sometimes lead you down the wrong path in your business.

Every business right now is experiencing a crazy amount of change and transformations and for most, this is not a positive experience. But there can be no real growth if there is not some kind of discomfort. It won't be easy, but the most important thing to remember through it all is what you stand for. In this weeks episode we talk about why it is so important to figure out what you value in life...

In this weeks episode we talk about why staying in alignment is so important and how it will help you to keep moving forward on the path to success.

In this weeks episode I talk about 3 key things you should be working on right now to create a successful future for your business.

We've been awakened to a lot of problems and what these recent times are here to teach us is how to be resilient through them. And to be resilient we must first learn that before we can make real change in the world, each one of us individually has to look within themselves. Look at how you've been showing up in work and in life and ask "How can I show up better?".

The power of context is having the capability to see something for what it is and being able to change your perspective on it accordingly, instead of remaining stuck in an old way of thinking. In this weeks episode I give you 3 things you can do right now in your business to start on a path towards a better future.

In this weeks episode we talk about how we should be trying to fix our current broken system by creating a culture in your business that can change the world.

Over the last couple of months, businesses have been through a lot of ups and downs. With the country slowing re-opening, many are wondering what to expect next. In this weeks episode we talk about some positive things that we can take away from this time of uncertainty and how we can use them to create a better future.

When times of uncertainty arise and fear sets in, it can be hard to make a move at all. That is because, I believe, there are barriers we must first get over before we can fully accept our current situations and figure out how to move forward in them. In this weeks episode we discuss 5 barriers that are holding you back from creating a resilient business.

Have you ever wondered what being "authentic" really means? These days, with the constant increase in social media presence in just about everyone's life, it's hard to know what is and isn't. In this weeks episode we talk about why its important to be consistent rather than trying to be authentic all the time.  

In this weeks episode we talk about 3 gifts that we all are given and how you can use them to your advantage instead of letting them go to waste.

Being a leader is tough. As entrepreneurs and business owners, we still all go through our own stuff. Our own problems and doubts and fears. But in times like these it is more important than ever to remain strong for those that are counting on us. In this weeks episode we talk about the 5 best things you can do to guide your employees through a downturn.

In this weeks episode we talk about how you can shift your mindset away from fear and adapt to the difficult situation we find ourselves in.

In this weeks episode we talk about looking for lessons in adversity instead of the struggles. With all of the uncertainty out there right now, I know myself as well as many others are starved for some kind of certainty in our lives. When we have certainty and can clearly see the path before us, it helps us shape our perspective on our business, on the world, and when we don't have that, everythin...
