Hello Eliška. Welcome to the podcast.
Eliska Krajickova
Hi there everybody. Hi there Sam, thanks on your form invitation to this podcast.
Sam Laura Brown
My pleasure. So to get began, do you thoughts simply sharing a bit about your self and the 2 companies that you’ve and yeah, simply what your scenario is in the intervening time?
Eliska Krajickova
Yeah, yeah, for positive, I’m founder of bijou enterprise. It’s known as Sparkle Moments, and I based it once I was having additionally a full time job. It was 2018 I imagine. And since then, I scaled the enterprise to seven figures with 10 staff. And likewise I used to be sort of a bored a bit like, why to not have much more work to do? So I launched my second enterprise in 2022 Yeah, I believe so. And I’m serving to there and different e commerce founders, and I do focus solely on feminine founders. Typically I acquired some, you already know, I get some dangerous feedback on Instagram from the person public publicity, however I do actually imagine in, like, worthwhile scaling and having sufficient area for one more roles. And that’s what I believe it’s very particular when you find yourself a lady with numerous life roles. So. I do specialize solely on females with my membership. And I additionally do have a son and a brand new one on, on the way in which coming. I don’t know when, in few weeks quickly, possibly two, possibly three weeks. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, that’s it.
Sam Laura Brown
Wonderful. So a jewellery enterprise and a training enterprise, and in terms of perfectionism, do you thoughts sharing a bit about like, if you realized you had been a perfectionist? Was {that a} latest realization? Have you ever all the time thought you’re a perfectionist? What has your journey been with perfectionism?
Eliska Krajickova
I’d be the one that would all the time say on the interviews in my earlier company jobs, like, what’s your power or weak point? And I can be all the time. I’m the perfectionist, you already know, I do every thing completely, and I assumed that it’s actually about being good in every thing, till I discovered you, and I don’t know who shared your podcast, and I begin following you on Instagram if you had been speaking about far more subjects, how one can see that you’re scuffling with perfectionism. And I believe it was extra about like, you wish to do every thing completely. You wish to do every thing final minute, to essentially, like, have the strain on you might be additionally like, suspending lot of issues you might be. And it was actually about like, all of us as a perfectionist, want to love, plan in a different way. We aren’t like a traditional folks. And I actually had these moments of like, you might be speaking about me, that is me, and that’s me, and that Instagram life is about me, and that e mail is about me.
So I believe I assumed it’s one thing earlier than I met you, after which when I discovered you on-line, I spotted, like, how broader it’s, and the way extra, how in additional areas of your life, it’s like, you already know, coming and it’s simply not about doing issues completely. I believe it’s just like the smallest situation you might have, or the factor to beat, the problem to beat. And I used to be undoubtedly the one that will say, simply 10 minutes and I’ll come for dinner and it’s by no means 10 minutes. Yeah, you already know, I used to be the one who was nonetheless attempting to have, like, empty calendar, till I joined the PGSD. And now I do know that it’s not the purpose, and it’s not even doable. And it’s not prefer it shouldn’t. I shouldn’t goal for like a superbly carried out to do listing, as a result of that’s not gonna ever occur. And the perfectionist, we all the time wish to be carried out with every thing, you already know.
After which if we’re not carried out, we can be doing it a bit longer, only a bit, after which from a bit, it’s two hours, and we’ll skip some meetups with buddies or the gymnasium or one thing, as a result of we have to get it carried out. So I’m undoubtedly that sort of perfectionist, as a result of I additionally assume that within the PGSD as nicely, there are like, extra sort of like personalities, or like, you already know, folks scuffling with totally different challenges and you might be simply holding area for everybody and like, the totally different situations. So I’m that one, the one like, I can skip gymnasium and from two minutes, it’s gonna be 20 minutes and possibly two hours.
Sam Laura Brown
Yeah, for positive. So with enterprise notably, how did perfectionism present up for you? Such as you talked about about leaving issues to the final minute and that sort of factor, like, the place was perfectionism holding your corporation again? How do you know that was happening?
Eliska Krajickova
The largest factor I seen was for me waking up not realizing what to do. I didn’t even know the way to plan in a manner that I do know what’s gonna come at this time, in per week, in a month, in a yr, I used to be simply the particular person, like, creating these to do listing primarily based on my temper within the morning after which including much more within the night time, and simply I didn’t actually have any sort of, like, long run, sustainable method to it. So for me, what was the most important problem earlier than was I actually don’t know what I’m gonna do. Like, it relies upon how nicely I’ll sleep and what I’ve a style for, you already know, and possibly simply resulting from my like, self-discipline and like with the ability to do numerous issues for lengthy sufficient of interval time the enterprise was thriving, the jewellery enterprise. But when I wouldn’t be part of PGSD, I’d by no means launch the teaching enterprise, as a result of I wouldn’t have the time for it. I wouldn’t know the way to plan one other enterprise into my first enterprise, plus with the infant. So this was the like, the most important problem that I needed to unravel with PGSD was like, I wish to even know what to place in my calendar, as a result of at this second, I don’t know what’s going to I work on at this time or tomorrow.
Sam Laura Brown
Yeah, I’ve heard that so typically that, like somebody described it so nicely, like feeling behind earlier than you even open your eyes within the morning, and never realizing the place to even begin. And there’s so many issues issues to do, however you don’t even know what’s most essential. So for you, what made you truly join PGSD. As a substitute of identical to, following alongside on Instagram and listening to the podcast? Why did you truly determine to affix this system?
Eliska Krajickova
Yeah, to be sincere, I believe I simply, like, rewarded myself with it as a result of I used to be like, I’m hustling a lot I wish to change it, and I hustle a lot that I should deal with myself and my inside particular person with transformation that may assist me to work much less and truthfully, like I do have a husband that’s the fairly reverse in every thing what we do. So if I’m the hustling enterprise or the little bit straightforward, rising, possibly lazy worker. So for me, I actually needed to progress and remodel, additionally for our relationship. So I used to be all the time the one fascinated about the enterprise, all the time the one being late for dinner. It’s all the time the one like saying that the excessive precedence in my life is my enterprise. After which he was like, Yeah, but it surely’s not likely a real like there’s a household half, there is sort of a vacation.
So I actually needed to vary for him as nicely, as a result of I knew that it’s gonna profit me. So for me, it was not like a life or die situation. For me, it was like I hustle a lot, and I do it each single day on the repeat alone in my enterprise, that I deserve this program that may assist me, you already know, to develop into comfy in everyday, realizing what to do, with the ability to relaxation, not completely but, however a minimum of in some capability. So yeah, my choice was identical to, I deserve it, and I do know and possibly the choice actually was for me, like I do know I’ll remodel my life. It was not like, sure or no, I’d try to see I actually went for this system, realizing and being determined that I do know that I wish to change the enterprise, I wish to change my life, and I sort of like self trusted my choice that the PGSD will assist me. I don’t know if it doesn’t make sense. Eight months pregnant, I by no means know, acquired a cow out of my mouth, however hopefully it does make sense?
Sam Laura Brown
It does make sense, it does. It undoubtedly does. And it’s so highly effective to method investing in PGSD or any funding that manner, and that’s the identical manner that I method it, too, of of like, sure, I wish to spend money on one thing that I do know goes to be so useful, and in addition I do know that I’m going to indicate up and do the issues that I have to do, and I’m not going to do it completely, however I’m keen and I’m dedicated, and I would like that change for myself, and I would like that progress, and I don’t wish to simply keep the identical. So I like that you just had that method with signing up for PGSD and starting energy planning and simply going for it, and I believe the outcomes that you just’ve had as nicely from PGSD and energy planning actually converse to that a lot. Do you thoughts sharing a bit about with energy planning? Like, what was that like for you at first, we discuss concerning the three month dedication, actually as a strategy to simply get into the expansion mindset about it, that it’s a new ability you’re growing and to not count on, as we perfectionists try this, as quickly as you do one thing for the very first time, try to be actually, actually good at it. So what was that first three months like for you, going from the to do listing and never realizing what you had been engaged on, and simply being so overwhelmed and in addition exhausted with all of the motion to then starting to energy plan.
Eliska Krajickova
Do my if I identical to, add one thing to the earlier one, after which bounce again, in fact, to the query? I simply needed so as to add for everybody listening that this program was my very first in entire life expertise, like increased funding than identical to programs and like these digital merchandise. So I simply needed to share right here prefer it was brave issues. I used to be very scared when becoming a member of and it was like, after our Christmas season in jewellery enterprise, and I used to be like, I’m simply rewarding myself. And oh, my God, I ship these cash. So I simply needed to say that it was, it was nonetheless an enormous choice for me, and simply needed to share that it’s like 10 occasions the funding got here again in return. So simply to everybody, like, know, in case you are terrified of the funding, it’s not like, $29 program or, like, yeah, freebie, however it’s actually worthy. And the transformation, I don’t assume so it may be even, like, calculated, you already know, by that value.
So I simply needed to get again to that, yeah, everybody is aware of. I’m very self conscious, into funding, like with increased applications, and the query, yeah, I believe that a very powerful factor, which is one thing, what you talked about inside this system, is like, it’s if it’s 80% let’s have fun if it’s like 80% carried out 80% good, like 20% of issues won’t ever get down. It’s advantageous. That’s like, what in all probability like stored me actually like going that there have been weeks once I didn’t do the weekly evaluation. They had been weeks once I when my son acquired sick and I needed to postpone the entire working day. So I believe, like, being form and actually not anticipating from myself, like, 100% first week I’ll energy plan, and we’ll simply make it wonderful. And it’s the ability. So the extra you observe, the extra like, the higher you’ll get in it. So undoubtedly, I cannot say it was straightforward. It was not the start. It’s like click on, creating the purpose, beginning. You realize, the primary energy planning that’s gonna the Energy Hour. It’s gonna take you round with greater than an hour. However then it’s actually getting simpler and simpler, and as soon as it’s simply turned the routine for you, and you can’t dwell with out it. Yeah, that’s, that’s it, these 80% it’s like, the important thing to, like, keep motivated on the way in which.
Sam Laura Brown
Yeah, the 80% comply with by way of. I simply wish to discuss it for a bit of bit. I’m glad you talked about it, as a result of after we will, whilst you, proceed with energy planning, however at first, particularly specializing in 80% comply with by way of and attempting to not be within the all or nothing mindset of like a they should comply with my plans completely, or there’s no level, actually makes such a distinction. And a method to consider it, too, for anybody who does have any resistance to that, is to our perfectionist mind, what’s 100% is definitely like 200% and what’s 80% is definitely 100% so if we’re truly aiming for 80% we actually get 100% of what must be carried out, carried out, however as a result of our mind simply all the time needs to do extra, it gained’t really feel like 100% and it’s why we will then actually have fun as nicely, not simply exhibiting up and doing that completely, or not doing it in any respect, however actually celebrating.
I’m exhibiting up and I’m holding on going. And as you stated, there are weeks the place you don’t do the weekly evaluation, otherwise you don’t do your energy hour, or no matter occurs, however you simply maintain going, after which over time, you develop a behavior with it. And actually, I like seeing PGSD within the persistence logs when folks like I didn’t energy plan this week, and I might simply really feel it that I didn’t do it. And I’m going again to doing it once more, and I’ve that have nonetheless the place my mind’s like, oh my god, I simply don’t wish to need to plan out the week and give it some thought, and I’d reasonably simply, like, get in there and get issues carried out. And it all the time is manner much less productive and far more disturbing, and, yeah, simply nowhere close to pretty much as good. Have you ever had experiences like that?
Eliska Krajickova
Yeah, I needed to say, if you’ll skip the Energy Hour, you’ll remorse it for the entire week, actually like a recreation changer of your week. So I believe I skipped it like twice in two years. And actually these weeks had been tough. I do energy operating, even with my son getting sick, and the very first thing once I see he’s sick, and I do know that tomorrow isn’t any daycare, I’ll simply make a espresso, I’ll, like, put him to his mattress, and I’ll have like, 32 hour to essentially repower plan the few subsequent few days, as a result of there isn’t a level into, like, doing the work as soon as the infant is at house, and I do know that I’d identical to, be very exhausting on myself. So I identical to, breathe. I’m bit unhappy for a bit, after which I simply repower plan, as a result of there isn’t a level into going for the week with the examination. Versatile you’ll want to be the extra issues taking place in your life that you just don’t know or you would not predict, the extra I believe you’ll use the ability planning as a instrument that may all the time floor you, and can all the time be just like the instrument to essentially navigate these days and circumstances that you would not likely predict.
And I additionally wish to say, like all of us within the PGSD, we’re not like a magical folks going for this system, and it’s extra about this fixed help that you’ll get from the podcast episodes you possibly can re hear or from the discussion board if you and your group are all the time like reminding to Have a good time, to be nice. So like, on your work, for the 80% and someway, you already know, it’s gonna prepare your mind in a weeks, weeks and months, to essentially be celebrating 80% and I believe that if it could be solely identical to one lesson within the module after which by no means spoken about, it wouldn’t in all probability, like, hit us all that onerous, however because it’s subject that it’s, you already know, numerous superior I believe talked about on the calls, or we now have the help within the discussion board, I believe like, that’s when the transformation actually occurs, that this system is with you on the go for so long as you want. And I undoubtedly don’t assume you want the lifetime entry, which is nice and handy, but when you’ll follow every thing in this system, I believe you will notice the outcomes like, manner, manner, manner, manner quicker.
Sam Laura Brown
100% yeah, it’s lifetime entry, however not as a result of it takes a lifetime to get to the consequence, however simply so that everybody, particularly like we perfectionists, had been like, hey, I would like to seek out the right time that I can use it and take advantage of it. Like, no, you possibly can simply join and get entry after which use it when it is sensible for you. However I like the way you shared about that, as a result of we actually work exhausting to create a tradition like a progress minded tradition inside PGSD of celebrating the trouble and the braveness and placing your self on the market and giving it a go and doing that in order that we will maintain persisting after which persevering with to succeed. And yeah, we will simply be so in our heads about it didn’t work straight away, and so I ought to simply cease doing it. And like, No, you’re doing an amazing job. You simply need to do it for a bit of bit longer.
However I like as nicely what you stated about planning like when you might have an unpredictable life, that that’s the finest time to do energy planning, as a result of I hear from so many people who find themselves like, I like the sound of energy planning, however I simply have too many interruptions, or I’ve a well being situation, or I’ve little ones, or I’m caring for my dad and mom, or my motivation actually ebbs and flows, or I’ve cellphone calls in any respect bizarre occasions, like there’s all the time like all of us have life circumstances, and only a few of us are like I’ve on daily basis, uninterrupted, good well being, nobody to look after, nobody to care about, nobody else can impression me, and I can simply be productive on a regular basis. All of us have these issues that we have to cope with. So might you say a bit extra about how in case your life is unpredictable, that’s one of the best scenario to be energy planning?
Eliska Krajickova
I needed to say that one of the difficult issues within the pgsd, which I completely get, why is it like that’s if you share like, there isn’t a one good calendar I can educate you. And once I was not in PGSD earlier than, and I requested you, I believe it was on some Instagram Dwell, like, how a lot clear relaxation I ought to get, and what to place within the clear relaxation? And you might be like, Yeah, it’s exhausting to say. It relies upon, actually, in your life circumstances. And like, what do you want as a clear relaxation? And I do know I bear in mind, like, The place, the place is the like, the instance, like one calendar, and that’s why I believe it really works so nicely, as a result of it’s gonna educate you the tactic that you would be able to take for a full time job, for a aspect hustle upon getting a child, upon getting a second child, since you simply know the way to do the work, and you’ve got the ability.
So I simply needed to say the lifetime entry that when some large change in your life goes to occur, you possibly can all the time come again to it and see, and I generally actually relisten on the modules which might be just like the a part of the core program, and I really feel like, you already know, I’m listening after six months, and I’m already on totally different sort of, like, a part of the journey, yeah, and it clicks in some totally different manner. After which I’ll hear pregnant, and it’s one other. Then I’ve 5 new folks in a group, after which I’m identical to, yeah, now I can use it for my life another way. So I simply needed to say that, and I can see it with my all or nothing buddies who’re often like, oh yeah, my my son, he stayed at house, and I’m simply carried out with the entire day.
And I believe that in case you are having the ability of energy planning, you possibly can nonetheless, you’ll nonetheless do far more than everybody round you, as a result of it’ll simply educate you the way to create the area, the way to create assets for your self, the way to have the clear relaxation. That’s the toughest half for me. So I believe the extra you don’t know what’s gonna come, the extra you’ll want to energy planning. As a result of should you don’t have the ability, I believe you’ll be simply caught within the center ready for this, like good circumstances coming to your life precisely. I’ve eight hours of, you already know, clear work time the place I can lastly do the work. And I believe, like that’s ready for one thing what’s in all probability by no means gonna come. And the soonest we’ll admit ourselves that life occurs, adjustments occurs, challenges occurs, and the way can I help myself? The earlier we’ll see the outcomes. And truthfully, it’s like the identical with the to do listing, proper? And the calendars, in case you are ready to have all carried out it’s by no means gonna occur, you already know?
And the ability planning will educate you the way to have life outdoors the work. As a result of, anyway, what’s the purpose? It’s by no means gonna get carried out. All of it from, like, enterprise house owners. We like, Yeah, we like constructing issues we like, like, you already know, self improvement, issues, new initiatives, new duties. So anyway. In the long run of the day when every thing is completed, I believe all of us have like, backlog of 10 concepts, you already know, to launch and wish to work on. So I actually assume it’s just like the emergency factor you want, like, if folks which might be sick want hospital, I believe that the enterprise proprietor simply wants energy planning in the event that they, like, wish to have some life outdoors the work, they usually don’t wish to be this annoying pal who is barely concerning the enterprise, or this annoying spouse that’s all the time complaining about not having sufficient time.
And that’s what I like within the discussion board as nicely, that I get fairly often reminded of, like, let’s determine that you’ve the time you want. And like, what are you gonna do with that? And, like, lose the concept of there’s not sufficient time in my calendar that such a robust thought that we get reminded, you already know, within the discussion board and within the course that I already neglect, what was the primary query? However I believe it was about energy planning if you don’t know what’s gonna occur. Yeah, sure. I believe the extra unpredicted issues you might have in your life, the extra you want the ability. As a result of like with the ability to plan your good eight hours day week, it’s simply not something like difficult or something you would want an enormous help with. So the extra aspect jobs, infants, no matter it’s to companies you might have, the extra I believe you possibly can profit from the entire program.
Sam Laura Brown
Yeah and I like the way you talked about going again to the teachings and the modules, and actually like reacquainting your self with what energy planning is every time you undergo a life transition or a enterprise transition. And for me, my energy planning has dramatically modified as I’ve gone by way of totally different life levels as nicely, from not having any children to then having one to then having three, and in addition eager to work a extra condensed work week and have clear relaxation. However then my clear relaxation appears very totally different to the way it used to look earlier than I had children, once I might simply learn my guide for a number of hours and do issues like that, and now I don’t try this. So simply determining, what does clear relaxation seem like for me on this season of life, like I’ve it’s so highly effective to have the ability to have that ability set of making your individual plan for your self.
As a substitute of me saying, like, I get numerous questions on this, such as you had been saying of like, okay, are you able to simply present me you already know, how a lot clear relaxation? What do I do in my clear relaxation? What time ought to I begin my day? What ought to I work on first? And like, I might make one thing up and let you know, however then, when your life circumstance adjustments, I’ve to let you know once more, and you must all the time be reliant on me. And I like instructing self reliance and that ability set of all I can truly work out by way of that have of the Energy Hour and the little tweaks within the weekly evaluation, I can work out when works finest for me to work and what to prioritize, and what are my needle movers, and what I would like to regulate and the way to maintain issues versatile. And it’s simply so empowering upon getting that. Do you thoughts sharing a bit extra about going from having one enterprise to then with the ability to have time for one more enterprise. How did energy planning enable you with that?
Eliska Krajickova
Yeah, that’s a model new historical past I’ll attempt to bear in mind. However I believe all of it actually began with yeah, simply realizing what to work on after which if you energy plan, you will notice, like, right here and there’s free spot in my calendar, you already know. And I needed to do it for like, two, three years earlier than. Previous to that, I already was considering like, I want to begin some enterprise for a lady and assist them with their e commerce shops. So I had this thought, however I by no means knew, like, the way to put it into my life, as a result of I used to be already, like, overwhelmed with the E commerce enterprise. So I believe what it actually created, ultimately, was it’s actually totally different. Whenever you get up, you don’t know what to do, and also you randomly select duties, after which there’s a very totally different manner, how Energy Plan will educate you, and the Energy Hour will present you the way to successfully work along with your calendar, how to decide on what to work on, how lengthy it ought to take, and every thing that someway I don’t know. I believe it simply occurred, like naturally that I noticed, like, it’s manageable now, like, I do know what to work on. I do know this. Can I delegate?
As a result of the ability planning, it’s not solely about your calendar, however like, what you possibly can delegate, the place you possibly can automate, the place you possibly can delete, in order that it’s simply naturally, someway progressed. I don’t actually bear in mind, in a manner of like, yeah, I’m not so overwhelmed anymore. Let’s have extra enjoyable. Let’s like, let’s add a brand new undertaking. So I believe it was actually like, primarily based on few weeks of routines and actually holding the ability planning and sticking with it, that it’s simply someway unlocked. I don’t actually bear in mind, like, one second you already know that it could be. It’s simply someway it stopped feeling the way in which of, like, I want to do it, however I don’t have a single minute for it, yeah, as a result of I believe it was like, I can do it. I’ve the time. I simply might want to do some changes. I might want to swap makes, delegate some issues, and like, let’s have this considered I can do it, and the way can I energy plan the one other undertaking you already know into the calendar.
Sam Laura Brown
Do you thoughts sharing a bit about along with your relationship? Since you talked about about eager to not be working on a regular basis, or saying, like, Hey, I simply want 10 extra minutes and then you definately’re nonetheless working a few hours later. What impression has it had in your relationship to be energy planning all of the whereas, like including one other enterprise and like your life circumstances altering as nicely, so you might have extra in your plate than if you first began. However what’s occurred in your relationship due to the ability planning?
Eliska Krajickova
I believe there’s, like, an enormous a part of it that, like nobody can see and my husband can’t see since you can’t actually and let’s be nice in order that it can’t be seen generally, how typically and the way a lot we’re fascinated about our companies. So you already know, some transformation occur inside that I can benefit from the film, or I can actually hear throughout dinner what you might be speaking about, as a result of I’m not fascinated about the enterprise. So that is like the large inside change that occurred, and my husband would by no means inform that it occurred, as a result of he by no means knew how a lot I used to be like out of his world, fascinated about my companies. In order that was the primary large change that I may very well be current with him, not simply bodily, however mentally as nicely.
And there are, like, a bit of adjustments that my husband would declare, like we’re on vacation and within the airplane straight away we sit. You might be nonetheless engaged on your corporation. I don’t get it. You might be, like, obsessed. However for me, the large change occurred that I used to be not likely anymore fascinated about, like, these little every day duties. And I do use, like vacation transportation and issues to love strategize and issues concerning the imaginative and prescient and one thing what I’d have by no means like, ever even like a small period of time in my life. And so for him, once more, he would see it, possibly I’m working once more. For me, it’s actually like unbothered, not disturbing as a reward time within the airplane. And, yeah, primarily, I believe it’s additionally concerning the energy planning gave me an area. I had the area already, however I didn’t see it, so it gave me the area for the clear relaxation. And I believe that when you possibly can energize your self, and you might be creating assets for your self. I believe you routinely simply present up as a greater, you already know, spouse or husband, since you are resourced. You aren’t educated. You had your time for the remaining. So then you possibly can maintain area on your husband, you already know, after the work, as a result of it was not 12 hours of labor in your calendar, and you probably did the gymnasium.
So now you might be somebody who can truly, you possibly can truly wish to be with and spend afternoon with, you already know, as a result of I’m not this overwhelmed. I don’t have time. I can’t simply do it at this time. Let’s go on the Kinder the playground with out me, as a result of I can simply go. I created the area and I can go. Plus, what it gave me is I can even do some me time, after which I’ve the ability and the vitality to spend it with my household. So I believe it’s simply helps me in a manner, to be a greater spouse for him. And I believe, to be sincere, I all the time say I couldn’t ever dwell with me. It’s very exhausting. And I believe with numerous enterprise founding ladies, it’s actually exhausting to dwell with them. So like, Let’s admire our males that they will do it with us. So, yeah, what it gave me is, like, I believe I really am, like, a greater spouse for somebody who is just not that a lot into enterprise, you already know, as I’m. So it’s like serving to me to essentially, like, go into like, common life of standard folks, how they undergo the day. And, yeah, I believe that was, like the primary change actually occurred, like, within me, and the way I present up, you already know, as a spouse, and that our conversations are usually not 90% solely about my companies anymore, yeah, which have to be drained, draining for another person.
Sam Laura Brown
Energizing for you, although, However, um, with the like, it’s such an amazing level about bodily presence after which psychological presence, and that I can relate to that as nicely. Undoubtedly at occasions, if I haven’t been switched off that I’m like, I’m with everybody, however I’m nonetheless fascinated about issues and with the ability to develop that ability of with the ability to. You not be fascinated about on a regular basis and truly be current with everybody makes such an enormous distinction. And I do assume they do really feel it, even when they don’t have as a lot consciousness as we try this, like I can truly totally hearken to you and be 100% current within the dialog and never be like, Oh, what if I did this with that, or what if I did that? So it’s unbelievable, and simply with the ability to spend your time, for instance, should you’re on the airplane or issues like that, strategizing and doing that large image considering, since you don’t need to be anxious about the entire little issues or like, attempting to maintain this to do listing in your head.
As a result of after we do work from a very lengthy to do listing, in the end we now have to maintain every thing in our head and always return and prioritize, or what about this? Or what about that? As a result of we don’t actually have, truly a system that we will use, even whether it is fantastically organized in notion or in a coloration coded calendar, but it surely’s like time blocking. It simply it makes such a distinction. I’m so glad you shared about simply these like transformations that from the skin, it’d seem like you’re nonetheless working so much since you are somebody who actually enjoys working, and also you’re spending an identical period of time with your loved ones, possibly, however there are large adjustments which have occurred. So yeah, I like listening to that that’s so essential.
Eliska Krajickova
There’s, like, one other half, like for with the connection with my husband, however there’s a large distinction in case you are, like, along with your children and you might be simply there, or in case you are with them, like, totally current. So for me, it was additionally essential, like, to not go to playground, as a result of I do know that I will be on my cellphone, coping with emails, you already know. So I’d say, like, the equal change within the partnership was for my son as nicely, that I don’t like drag the work, you already know, all through the entire day, till the night time, after which subsequent day once more. And I can actually be like, now I’m in my position, like, if I’ll do and I 90% do, like, the little tweaks in the long run of the work day, I can then, like, both swap, you already know, into the second position.
So I believe the necessity was even greater to vary how I plan and the way I attempt to work with myself upon getting one other position, which is in a single position, which is like this big one. And I had a mother, and he or she, who was a lot at work that I’m like, if my son will ever say, Mother, you had been at work on a regular basis, that’s gonna be like my greatest loss I did in, you already know, in my life. So I’m very conscious of, like spending time with him, and it’s totally different for me, like being with him I simply take pleasure in and like being in my head, you already know, operating falls across the enterprise, so I believe it’ll, simply, like, remodel every thing in your life, and never simply your corporation or the partnership. It can simply, I believe will remodel you as a complete in all roles that you’ve.
Sam Laura Brown
Thanks for sharing that with PGSD specifically, earlier than we began recording. And I stated, I simply wish to share a bit about your expertise in this system as nicely, for anybody who’s fascinated about signing up. And also you stated, How sincere can we be? And I stated, you would share something you wish to share about PGSD. And also you stated you actually needed to speak concerning the teaching calls, and since you’re in Europe and the decision occasions don’t give you the results you want, and we do have European PGSDers who attend the calls. But in addition there are PGSDers within the states which our name occasions are appropriate for, but it surely conflicts with one thing they have already got on, or it’s simply not at a very good time for them. And there are some PGSDers who attend the calls, which is elective, and plenty of who don’t, however who nonetheless get so many wonderful advantages from being in PGSD. So I’m simply curious what you needed to share, since you stated you wish to discuss, like, what your expertise has been with not attending most of the calls.
Eliska Krajickova
I prefer it. Additionally it’s relying on the season of life. It was like two years in the past, so I used to be nonetheless breastfeeding, and my son was waking up, like 4 or fives time an evening. So I I did actually need to prioritize the sleep, like two hours and the decision. And I often…
Sam Laura Brown
I help that.
Eliska Krajickova
So however what I used to be actually having fun with had been the like, the recording from the earlier course, as a result of I believe you talked about it someplace within the within the discussion board, that you just don’t actually need to go, like, from the episode primary, and like up and to be like, up to date. And I actually, like at first, simply selected primarily based on what it was like, one thing, what I’m scuffling with, or one thing what? Yeah, that is just like my life circumstances. So what’s nice concerning the podcast is that there’s simply so many recordings.
Sam Laura Brown
Sorry, are you speaking concerning the podcast?
Eliska Krajickova
Yeah the personal podcast. So there can be, like, undoubtedly for 10 your life situations. There can be like 10, like coachings, and you may simply hearken to it. And I believe that there’s a energy, I believe you might be mentioning it as nicely within the discussion board, that generally it’s manner simpler to see or wish to get your help when you find yourself listening and you aren’t being coached, as a result of when you find yourself getting coached, you might be, like, a bit of bit pressured. Perhaps, you already know, if it’s like me, my English is just not my native language, proper? So there’s already some barrier. However when you find yourself listening, it’s simply, I believe, actually like, on totally different deeper degree, since you don’t have this emotional attachment and stress and every thing across the life purpose. So for me, yeah, I used to be identical to, digging deep into the personal podcast in like, first three, 4 months, as a result of each second one was like, Yeah, that’s me, or that is somebody I can relate to. Oh, yeah.
And, you already know, the subjects are usually not like, they’re someway customized, however yeah, if it’s concerning the progress purpose, like, all of us can someway, like, take it for our life and study from it. So for me, it was to be sincere once more, at first, I used to be like, yeah, like, there are some recordings, like, no matter, I’d hearken to them. Like, I don’t know what’s the hype about it? I’ll give it a shot. I’ll in all probability by no means attend in subsequent two years life. After which I acquired pregnant once more, so now I’m sleeping as nicely for for upcoming new child. And it actually may be very, very, very, very like useful useful resource that you’ll get there. And as I stated, there’s so a lot of them by now that there isn’t a zero nothing. There is no such thing as a probability that you’ll not discover a name that may help you at this time along with your actual issues with out being coached, as a result of somebody 99% already acquired coached. And it was in all probability not as soon as. There are, like…
Sam Laura Brown
Yeah they already acquired it.
Eliska Krajickova
Yeah there’s like far more episodes about that one. So yeah, undoubtedly, that was one thing what I didn’t assume at first, when becoming a member of is usually a useful like, sure, some recordings. However these subjects, you already know, it’s not likely about, like, what works now, it’s Fb advertisements, after which in six months, it’s outdated and outdated and nobody cares. Nevertheless it’s actually like, I can hear in 10 years, you already know, and nonetheless discover it very useful. And, like, up to date. So, yeah, undoubtedly, I undoubtedly undervalued, after which it already works.
Sam Laura Brown
Yeah, I’m glad to listen to that, as a result of having the PGSD personal podcast is considered one of my favourite elements about this system, as a result of I’ve as a shopper benefited essentially the most from listening to others getting coached, and it’s why I moved away from doing one on one teaching to doing PGSD as a program, as a result of everybody simply was telling me how alone they felt and that they had been the one ones struggling, however I used to be simply saying the identical issues repeatedly. And likewise, the primary factor that I like about listening to another person getting coached is as a result of I’d have by no means introduced a sure subject to a training name, or I didn’t even have the notice that I wanted help with it. So if I used to be getting one on one coach, we wouldn’t have even talked about it, however listening to another person, I’m like, Huh, that’s what I’m going by way of, however I couldn’t have even articulated it. So I like the way you share concerning the podcast. And so what would you say for somebody who needs to be in PGSD and is like, both I don’t like being on calls or I don’t assume the decision occasions will work for me. What would you say to that one who is in that scenario?
Eliska Krajickova
So to get the total expertise, I signed up for teaching as soon as, and I so I understand how it really works, and like what it might actually convey you. And I believe, like in most situations, you’ll simply profit extra from the recordings and like, let’s be glad that there are different people who find themselves becoming a member of and signing up for the teaching so that you don’t need to, and you may simply hear about it and end up in it, you already know. However then, sure, should you assume it’s very specialised, the issue is, like, by no means been solved in PGSD, there’s all the time an choice to ask for the teaching. That’s nice. However for me, like waking up at 2am it’s it’s simply not doable. Perhaps it’s going to be in three years now. And to me, it’s actually like, I do see solely advantages at this second. I don’t need to wake at 2am I don’t need to assume what I have to get coach on. I can simply do cleansing and, like, discover the subject primarily based on the naming of the personal episodes with one thing what I’m now scuffling with. After which I can simply, like, simply have these aha moments with out the necessity of being current there. You realize?
Sam Laura Brown
That 100% is elective to attend, and there are individuals who will attend who need the teaching, and everybody else will get to profit. We’ve actually designed this system to be pleasant for lurkers who simply wish to study from the shadows or not be on the decision, so that you just actually don’t need to work together with everybody else should you don’t wish to, however you do get the advantages from listening to everybody else work together and getting coached.
Eliska Krajickova
What I’d add. And so the one factor is that I don’t know like from what nations individuals are listening this podcast, however for instance, in my nation in Europe, there’s extra just like the widespread floor observe is like life coach, or the coach typically, is somebody who will simply ask you questions, like, what’s your purpose? The place do you wish to go? The place do you see your self in three years? How do you’ll create a plan? And so they don’t actually alleged to have an opinion, and that’s what’s actually been taught like on these, like academic applications. However what I actually like, and what’s one thing, what folks can’t get out of the the general public podcast is how spicy you will get. I imply, you as a coach, like, generally you’ll identical to, we can be like, going across the circles, and Sam will come and she’s going to ask one very direct query.
And you’ll simply, like, hear the silence of like, okay, that is the factor I’m avoiding. And he or she simply discovered it in me. And I don’t know the way she carried out that, and now I’ve to answer again. So generally what I actually chuckle, and what’s not very seen, I believe, outdoors this system, is that you just don’t you aren’t afraid to ask, like, I wouldn’t say, like uncomfortable questions. They aren’t uncomfortable, however they don’t seem to be, like, shallow questions. They’ll simply go deep in a short time. Like, you don’t have to have a training name quarter-hour I’m studying about you. You’ll simply, like, ask three questions, after which you might be simply digging deep along with your questions, like, we don’t have time, let’s get to it. So that is what I actually love, and it’s one thing what’s not typically, that seen, you already know, within the public podcast episodes, and I say try to be celebrated extra.
Sam Laura Brown
Oh my God, I’m dying. That’s so hilarious. And that one thing is a coach I do like about my teaching fashion within the sense of and I assume I don’t actually discuss it a lot, however I do like to offer a little bit of, like, robust love and directness when it’s wanted. I is also very like, have a mild method as nicely, however I wish to get to the purpose. And actually we will are inclined to sort of simply wish to discuss every thing across the factor and never discuss concerning the precise factor. So thanks for sharing about that with PGSD, past energy planning, as a result of we’ve talked about energy planning and we gained’t chat for an excessive amount of longer. I simply wish to be respectful of your time. However with PGSD, there’s clearly energy planning that you just study and the expansion purpose and clear relaxation. However are there some other parts of PGSD? As a result of there are different subjects we discuss that we haven’t even touched on. However is there anything that’s been notably useful for you?
Eliska Krajickova
For me, primarily based on the life circumstances I’ve been by way of the final yr, plus the expertise from the discussion board, for me, it was actually practising the self belief essentially the most, and I believe, like, actually self belief, and possibly, just like the kindness to your self and with the ability to have fun your self and never solely see what else I I haven’t get carried out this week, however like, actually getting again the help of, like, Yeah, however like you might have carried out this, or such as you survived along with your sick son, that’s the factor we should always have fun, and never like, be all or nothing, as a result of I haven’t carried out any work three days in row, you already know?
So I believe it’s just like the aspect impact of the entire program is that it’s gonna educate you additionally like the way to admire your self and the way to not assume solely about I’m not doing sufficient. I’m not adequate. I needs to be extra productive. I ought to this or I ought to that, and it’s actually gonna educate you actually to love self belief and have fun you in your all of the seasons of life, and in addition the self consciousness and with the ability to consider your work and every thing you do after your Energy Hour primarily based on the life circumstances and every thing. So I actually, I do know that you just deal with enterprise house owners, but in addition this system goes manner far the enterprise. You realize, it’s not going to vary your corporation. It’s going to essentially go and alter all areas of your life. So I’d say, like, as a aspect impact undoubtedly self belief.
Sam Laura Brown
Self belief is such a essential factor that we work on and discuss so much in PGSD, and it’s undoubtedly one of many unwanted side effects of energy planning as nicely. And the clear relaxation and progress purpose is that to have the ability to obtain your progress purpose with out placing heaps of strain on your self, and to have the ability to energy plan, you do have to learn to belief your self and the way to have a significantly better relationship with your self. And simply as you had been saying that, I used to be fascinated about how our perfectionist brains are, like try to be doing extra and try to be extra productive, and it’s nonetheless not adequate. And like, even when we’re productive and we’re succeeding in life, it’s depressing to have that inside dialog. And my dialog isn’t like, Oh, my God, you’re wonderful. And like, it’s by no means going to love, it’s not adequate, but it surely’s dramatically totally different, and it’s simply a lot nicer to be with myself now than it was earlier than. And I can truly, like, have my very own again, and it’s simpler to do scary issues and to place myself on the market, as a result of I do know I’m not going to be a bitch to myself on the opposite finish of it. So yeah, self belief is is every thing for perfectionists. That’s the work, in the end, that we’re doing with perfectionism. So thanks a lot for sharing every thing that you’ve. Is there something you wish to say any final phrases to somebody who is considering signing up for PGSD and becoming a member of us inside.
Eliska Krajickova
I believe that like very first thing is that that is actually not this system that, like says one thing on gross sales web page after which it’s simply doesn’t ship. So should you learn one thing what resonates, you possibly can make certain that it’s that you’re paying, and you’ll get the factor you want within the e mail or no matter you might be studying or listening. And likewise, should you would have the ability to, like Pinky promise that you want to do the work, and you’ll present up, after which you’ll fail, and you’ll be advantageous with that. It’s exhausting, I do know, but it surely it’s a observe you’ll want to study. Then I can actually, like, you possibly can contact me, and I can, like, promise that I will provide you with your a refund if it’s not gonna work. As a result of I simply
Sam Laura Brown
You pay them.
Eliska Krajickova
I simply know that it’s gonna work. Like if you’ll present up.
Sam Laura Brown
A refund assure from Eliska.
Eliska Krajickova
I simply know that it’s gonna work. If you’ll present up, if you’ll do the ability planning, not as soon as, not twice, like you’ll do it always, you’ll write the opinions in, I don’t know. I don’t care if it’s in your diary or if it’s in discussion board, and you’ll do it as it’s in this system, and with all these helps, and you will get in pgsd, there’s, like, zero probability to fail, like there’s zero probability to not make the cash again in a really quick time period. So I’m that assured. And there’s, like, at this second, I don’t have each any single cause why shouldn’t you be part of and if the one factor that’s stopping somebody now, it’s actually the funding. And I can say, I hear you. It was numerous conversations at house, as a result of my husband is actually not into self growing and training, and I actually was like, I’m gonna make it in my enterprise after which make investments it. You don’t need to, like, be concerned in it. So it was not straightforward for me as nicely, and it was my first large funding.
Nevertheless it’s simply, I don’t know, I really feel prefer it. I made it again in like, a month, you already know? After which, as I stated at first, there’s such an enormous transformation as an individual, and one thing was additionally taking place within you, like, how are you residing with your self, how you aren’t like, overwhelmed, how you aren’t being imply to your self, how one can take pleasure in different folks round and discuss various things and simply enterprise. Then I believe that the actually, the tech, the value tag is like, not existent, as a result of there’s such an enormous change and transformation, in case you are keen to indicate up, that the value is actually it shouldn’t even be the objection, as a result of actually, every thing was stated wherever it’s, it feels like what you’ll get within the PGSD.
Sam Laura Brown
Thanks a lot.
Eliska Krajickova
This was not pre deliberate. No, undoubtedly not. I believe, like, the entire episode, this one was nice for me to replicate and actually, like, cease within the second and see, like, how far I’ve come and the place I’d be I wouldn’t have in all probability the second enterprise, you already know, I stated after the primary one, I imply the infant, not the enterprise. I stated, I’m by no means gonna do it once more in my entire life. Motherhood is tough. Enterprise is simple. I’m not gonna go for it anytime quickly. After which, because of PGSD, I launched the second enterprise. My husband is CEO, Director. Within the one company firm, and now, because of my second enterprise, he is ready to stop the job. He’ll keep at house with me. I can be working half time. He’ll help me as a keep house dad, and that may be by no means doable. And I stated, if you are able to do it for me, we will have a second one. In the event you can’t, and I’ve to remain once more full time, Mother, I’m not gonna go there. So, you already know, if you see the impact, the unwanted side effects it has in your life, just like the One Small Change of like, becoming a member of the PGSD, like, I don’t know the place I’d been now, and I don’t wish to know. I don’t both like, wish to assume how depressing possibly I’d be nonetheless feeling with myself. And actually the large half that needs to be talked about is the inside emotions you might have with your self, and the way are you residing with your self on daily basis, and the way you present up for your self and for the folks round and that’s the transformation that’s actually for me is, you already know, priceless.
Sam Laura Brown
Wonderful! Effectively, thanks a lot for sharing all of that, Eliska, I actually admire it, and we’ll hyperlink up within the present notes, the place anybody can go to Eliska for a refund to PGSD…
Eliska Krajickova
No however you possibly can come for and have a selected query in case you have one thing otherwise you nonetheless have some objection, and also you don’t wish to ask Sam, and also you need somebody who’s like in third particular person out of her Enterprise, then undoubtedly you possibly can contact me, and I’ll clarify very quick how it is best to be part of and why, why it is best to be part of now and never not postpone and procrastinate of the choice.
