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. That tool is called the Circle of Ease. It’s one of the things she mentioned during the first half of this interview.

As a reminder, she also talked about:

• The difference between your Zone of Genius and Zone of Excellence,
• How to be in with work that give you energy,
• Why delegating things that you are good at, but don’t enjoy will free up your time to truly grow and scale your business.

Now, Barsi will describe exactly what her Circle of Ease tool is and how to use it. 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. Listen now to discover the possibilities that lie ahead for your 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:

1. Vetting and validating growth ideas,
2. Creating a strategic growth plan that includes validated ideas,
3. Developing project plans to implement your company’s growth strategy,
4. Growing your business through strategic partnerships, and
5. 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!

We’re at the next stop on our Growth Strategies Masterclass this season and it involves exit planning. Now, you may be thinking, “I thought we were talking about growing our businesses, not exiting them!”

But the truth is, exiting your business by selling it can in fact be a smart move especially if you are seeking what our last guest, Carl Nicpon, described as “Freedom 2.0.” Building your company to eventually sell it requires significant work in formalizing business infrastructure and strengthening financial health.

In this latest episode, our producer and host, Alicia Butler Pierre, reveals why she wants to sell Equilibria, Inc. (the underwriter of this show) as part of the company’s long-term strategic growth plan. This requires a level of honesty, introspection, and selflessness that few entrepreneurs dare to think about let alone act on.

Along the way, Alicia shares her story in hopes that it will also inspire you to:

• Focus on specific business infrastructure elements to build or improve,
• Discover the financial metrics required to attract future investors, partners or buyers,
• Build a dashboard to track core operational activity,
• Consider funding as a source for raising capital required to scale operations, and more!

You’ll also gain access to additional resources where you can learn more about how to: 1) sell your business, 2) find the optimal exit planning strategist, and 3) get maximum sale value for the business you’ve worked so hard to build and grow.
