Laura Garnett believes that work can and should be one of the most rewarding aspects of life. I agree. Unfortunately not everyone has figured out exactly HOW to make this dream their reality. That’s where this episode of Get Gutsy comes in handy.
Laura is a performance strategist who honed her chops at Google, Capital One and an internet startup. It was at this startup that she was laid off. Instead of letting that setback defeat her, Laura decided to move forward and create her dream job from scratch by asking herself two questions: “who am I?” and “what am I meant to do?”
These questions led Laura down the path of entrepreneurship and discovering her methodology for finding long-lasting professional happiness and building the GENIUS HABIT that makes extraordinary accomplishment all but guaranteed.
Listen to this conversation to learn what kind of habits you need to build in order to do things differently, be more aligned with who you are, and achieve what you want.
Tune in to discover:
- How the methodology in Laura’s book “The Genius Habit” was developed and the talk that motivated her to get it done
- How to respond when things don’t feel right in business
- The moment she pivoted and decided to build her own business
- How she was able to successfully navigate the shift to build her network from entrepreneurial clients to corporate clients
- Why you need a sales engine in your business (and what hers is)
- How she didn’t let years of work and a number of no’s from publishers hold her back from getting a book deal and publishing her book
- How tracking systems are game changers
- Why it is important to come up with your own definition of success
