Today’s Guest
Today’s guest is an entrepreneur, business leader, and author of a book I love – The Success Lie. Through her work, she inspires others to live highly engaged, impactful, and successful lives. I’m so excited to have Janelle Brueland as our guest on Episode #13 today.

Key takeaways from this episode:
- We have an opportunity to provide influence. It’s crucial to ask if we are choosing to live our lives in such a way that we have a positive impact.
- Is your calendar packed? Be more intentional. Focus on the essential things and people that are important to you.
- Create a STOP DOING list. Remove the from your life that you aren’t passionate about, that drain you, or don’t align in your priorities. It’s ok to say no!
- Research shows we can not think a positive and negative thought at the same time.
- If we are aware of our mindset – we can grab that negative thought and shift it to something positive.
- Play to win! Consciously choose to go as far as you can with all that you have and learn from what happens.
- Stay focused on your gifts and what you are bringing to the world.
- You will fall down. Give yourself permission to fall, and get up and get back on track.
- It’s so easy to live life on ‘automatic.’ It is so easy to get caught up and not pay attention to where we are going.
