    Be(a)ware of the Blueprint - EP 022
    Sep 4 2024
    In this episode, I discuss a common pattern I’ve been noticing in the online business and coaching space — generic advice that doesn’t consider individual needs. I emphasize the importance of asking the right questions and qualifying people before recommending any solution. Tune in as I explore how we can move away from one-size-fits-all approaches and focus on strategies that align with our unique goals and values.

  • Welcome to Pleasure and Profits - EP 001

    Welcome to Pleasure and Profits - EP 001
    Nov 17 2023
    Thank you for checking out my podcast. In case we haven’t met, I’m Rachel Anzalone – Satisfaction Strategist. I’m super excited that you’re here. Are you a visionary entrepreneur searching for the perfect balance between pleasure and profits? That’s the conversation we’ll explore together. The intersection of well-being and wealth, sharing inspiring stories and expert insights. Why Pleasure and Profits? It’s been an idea for a really long time. I first thought of doing this back in 2018 which feels like a lifetime ago now. A big aha came when a client wanted help around developing a team. I jumped in to help, and everything changed when I asked her three simple questions. What do you want? What do you want your business to be? What do you want your life to be like with your business in it? She confessed that she’d never been asked that and had never considered her business from this perspective. That’s when I knew pleasure had to be in the equation. I’ll be talking a lot about impact, profit and pleasure. If you are a visionary with a service or product that makes people’s lives better, then impact is usually a given. What often follows is the belief that profit has to come before impact, or the opposite, over-giving so there really isn’t e profit, and impact suffers. Pleasure, unfortunately, is usually missing completely. Not to worry, I’m covering that in more detail in episode two. Satisfaction strategy is the result of all of my work experiences including entrepreneurship, operations, health and wellness, embodiment practices and more. I hope you’ll join me each week as I share my own story and have conversations with peers, mentors and clients who have all inspired me and helped me understand how to make these principles work in my own life. If you’re ready to have a deeper conversation about how to maximize impact, profit and pleasure in your business and life, you can schedule a time to connect with me right here >>> Did this message resonate with you?

    Dancing In The Liminal Space Of This Moment - EP 007
    Dec 13 2023
    In this episode we’re talking about this particular time period we’re in—this mid-holidays, almost-end-of-year, not-quite-the-new-year, limbo that is mid-December, what it means for us as entrepreneurs, what most people are doing in this season & how there's an more empowered way. Instead of being all in—hustling till the bitter end—or all out—full shut down mode, there’s a third more powerful, more empowered way to approach this season. One that’s aligned with what nature—including our intuition—is guiding us towards, if we’re available to listen. I invite you to take your time to dance in this liminal space. To trust yourself. To trust the timing. To remember that you are on your own schedule. Get all the links and resources at http://pleasureandprofitspodcast.com
