In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with the Founder and CEO of Infinite SOULutions, Carrie Schmidt.Carrie helps individuals connect to their power, passion, and purpose and help them stop focusing so much on others' expectations by putting that focus on where they want to go. Carrie is a life and business success coach to aid clients in improving their personal lives alongside aiding companies to improve their operations. There are many individuals whose purpose for having a successful business is based on the common dream of retiring early without any worries. However, this dream could get old in reality and it may take a wake-up call for an individual to reevaluate. Carrie explains that death, disease, and divorce are the main avenues that cause individuals to step back and evaluate their life or where they want to go from there. The times are changing and entrepreneurs should embrace these changes to influence the future of their businesses. Society is becoming more about making a true impact rather than being influenced primarily by money.Carrie explains that employers should connect with their employees and understand their purpose alongside determining their strengths and weaknesses. This can help the employers help their staff realize their strengths build the strengths of the entire organization as well as aid the employees in their weaknesses to grow. Through this, trust, comradery, and effective communication are created which also helps strengthen and grow the business or team. Lean organizations are built from the bottom up and the changes come from the employees who feel valued. Carrie explains that lean organizations are focused heavily on fixing problems rather than putting them aside. Throughout life, individuals are conditioned to believe specific things and process those ideas a certain way. Carrie explains that becoming aware of one's perspective and the programming that lead to that can allow an individual to change their thought processes to allow for improvement in the individual's personal life and career.Key Points from the Episode:The impact Carrie has in the worldManaging expectations and goalsThe shift from money to purposeConnecting someone with their passionLean organizationPrinciples within Carrie’s book Behind the ScreenAbout Carrie Schmidt: As the Founder and CEO of Infinite SOULutions, LLC, Carrie Schmidt puts the SOUL in SOULutions by transforming lives personally and professionally.
