  This is part two of our interview with Christina Barsi, an entrepreneur with a revolutionary tool to help us align our personal infrastructure with our business infrastructure.

Similar to previous episodes, podcast host Alicia Butler Pierre shares how she will use this tool to figure out what work to focus on as Equilibria, Inc. transitions from a consulting business model to a training one.   This is the last episode of our Growth Strategies Masterclass.   It’s filled with eye-opening information that will cause you to personally reflect on the intersection of your personal and professional goals in ways you may not have before.

• 296: Christina Barsi Explains Why Your Personal Infrastructure is Key to Sustainable Business Growth

  It’s hard to believe, but we’re at the last topic of our Growth Strategies Masterclass. At this point, we’ve had guests share their expertise on the following:   Vetting and validating growth ideas, Creating a strategic growth plan that includes validated ideas, Developing project plans to implement your company’s growth strategy, Growing your business through strategic partnerships, and Building your business to sell it for maximum value.   With all the planning tools we’ve learned for strategically growing our businesses, there’s still the possibility that our plans may not unfold the way we envisioned. Our ability to handle unforeseen events or challenges that can halt our plans determines whether we’ll stay in the entrepreneurial race.   The real question to ask yourself is, “Are you comfortable with potentially having to pivot?”   This is what our next guest, Christina Barsi, is here to talk to us about. As a former actor turned entrepreneur and owner of a successful podcast production company, she’s a shining example of what can happen when you intentionally integrate decision-making and fulfillment into your  entrepreneurial endeavors.   Barsi’s career transition experiences as a compelling example for entrepreneurs seeking to establish a personal infrastructure that resonates with their passions.   In part 1 of this two-part episode, Barsi explains why: Creating a personal infrastructure that aligns with your company’s business infrastructure is critical for achieving self-fulfillment, Distinguishing between internal data and external data is key to establishing a foundation for business growth strategies, and Calibrating your mindset is necessary for assessing the work that brings you joy and will ultimately enable you to create action plans to bring growth plans to fruition.   Navigating business pivots and transitions effectively requires intentional decision-making and introspection. Join us on this journey of self-discovery as a pathway to lasting business success!   𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐   © 2024.
