Read the Show Notes from this Episode:

• 2:28 Tamara has found that creating partnerships and collaborating has grown her business in the last six months.
• 4:09 These partnerships have been intuited through paying attention to the clues that others display when they want to work with Tamara.
• 7:17 A core part of Tamara’s business is referring to others’ works and networking.
• 8:57 Tamara finds self-care is essential to creating a sturdy foundation on which people can then help others: “People will take care of everyone and everything else, and put themselves last.”
• 10:30 Tamara gives an example of a ‘Radiance Makeover’: start with self-awareness and think of an aspect of your life you could be a bit more radiant, create a new story to see what else might be possible, then recalibrate and let your light out.
• 11:56 “It’s about turning up your lights. The new story is the beautiful, radiant ‘turn up your lights’ story, and you get to enthusiastically choose what you’re going to do with confidence, and wake up all your passion. Tell the story about the life you want to have, and then you start acting like that.”
• 14:21 One of the first shifts towards sustainable business practices was finding a mentor, who told Tamara that she was running a business, not just working a job after she started her own gymnastics center.
• 16:07 Tamara identifies resiliency and persistence as key aspects for business owners to have in order to promote change by taking risks.
• 21:13 “Be more radiant; your life will be better!”
