The Guava Girl Podcast #62: YOUR LEADERSHIP IS THE KEY TO DEFINING YOUR SUCCESS
The Guava Girl Podcast was created with the purpose of empowering women to think entrepreneurially and creatively so they may lead the extraordinary life they never thought possible.
Here you will find the good, the bad, and most importantly, the REAL inside looks of what it is like to work for yourself and feel empowered by doing it. We talk about growing your following on social media, building a personal brand, and what it is like being a woman in a startup culture.
Find me, Isabella Silverio, on Instagram as @isabella.guava and #GUAVAGIRL to be part of this growing and empowering community.
IMPORTANT MOMENTS FROM INSIDE YOUR LEADERSHIP IS THE KEY TO DEFINING YOUR SUCCESS:
- [1:01] Here I cover the concept of leadership which tackles the types of leaders and which type I fit into.
- [4:10] I share my business figures including a breakdown of the goals I set for this year, how I achieved them, as well as the things that transpired last Black Friday Weekend.
- [5:35] I share my appreciation for my team, relating how three years ago, I was working on startups and learned a lot about team-building, delegating, and how to communicate with others that led to starting my own business as a student-entrepreneur.
- [7:59] I share a little bit of my leadership formula including what I have learned and the biggest lesson in business, which can either grow your business really fast or solidify the foundation of your business.
- [9:30] The importance of knowing what you stand for and the difference between acting like a leader and actually being a leader.
- [11:31] The first piece of my leadership formula, which considers everyone having his or her own leadership skills and own signature leadership style.
- [12:59] The second piece of my leadership formula which most people are getting a bit wrong or are getting a little bit derailed. In a perfect world, the perfect employee can anticipate your every need without having to tell what to do, but it’s just not how it works.
- [15:55] The third piece of my leadership formula. Every single day is not about you, what you want or what you feel like doing.
- [18:14] The fourth piece of my leadership formula. You should not be afraid to let your team know that you have feelings of fear and anxiety, or when you are upset about something as long as those do not get in the way of actually doing business.
- [19:17] The last piece of my leadership formula, it is important to establish a company culture where everyone on your team will have relationships and bonds over things outside of business.
- [22:49] I answer some questions across social media platforms in line with today’s episode.
POWERFUL QUOTES FROM YOUR LEADERSHIP IS THE KEY TO DEFINING YOUR SUCCESS:
"I don't pay my team to be nice to me. I'll pay my team to be there for me as an emotional support. They do that willingly and with love because that is my approach to them as well."
"If your business doesn't have that culture of having bonds outside of business, it's gonna be so difficult to forgive. It's going to be difficult to understand and lose that human touch, which to me is just so important."
"My leadership style, just to recap, it is motivational, clear and concise, being strong, being vulnerable and being involved."
"The people who had really inspired me are not leaders, they are on my team. My team constantly inspires me to be a better leader and when I'm also out there in the real world. It seemed like everyone who was working there was really happy to work there. And that's the first sign that I will look for in leadership."
