This is the Scale with Joy show, episode 0 on scaling with joy.

Welcome to the Scale with Joy show, a podcast about scaling your company while living your most purposeful life. Because here's the thing: there are no rules to say you can't grow a massively profitable empire and have joy in the everyday. My name is Laura Meyer and let's get started.
(00:33):
Hi and welcome to the very first episode of the Scale with Joy show. I started this podcast because I know that many of you may be wondering how the stress of growing your business is impacting your happiness. And if this is something you've been wondering about; I have totally been there. So in the last 15 years, I have scaled six, six and seven figure companies. And in my mind, during many of those moments, growing my business meant total stress and struggle. I didn't really want my business to lose what made it unique, but I also didn't want to give up what brings me joy in my life in order to prioritize my business. In some situations I walked away from business opportunities because of what it was costing me. So, if you ever found struggling with balance while your business starts to grow, this podcast is for you.
(01:22):
I want to help you break away from those thoughts because they really do hold you back and make you feel so isolated. I started this podcast to help us all rewrite the story of how we do business and life. As I've grown as an entrepreneur, as a consultant to national brands and influencers that you know and love, I have found that yes, it is absolutely possible to scale up a business while living a purposeful life, to rediscover the joy in what you're doing, even in the day to day craziness of a business that is growing fast, that you can have balance in your growing company and your “real life” and that you get to decide and that you get to have both. In this podcast, I'm interviewing leaders who've created massive impact and built national brands, and the best part about them is that they are happy and joyful humans.
(02:19):
It's pretty amazing. So if you have dreams for your company but you're worried about what growing it will cost you, you are in the right place. And the thing about being a business owner and pursuing our dreams when we begin is that we're so excited. We're so inspired by our big vision and many times when we start to gain traction, we become overrun with the day to day complexities and overwhelm. This can contribute to frustration and loneliness and we can often start making fear-based decisions when we have a lot more to lose, giving into the exact things we don't want. And I've been there. I remember when I was so bold and growing my businesses and became frozen in fear or when I had so much to lose as the stakes got higher and higher. And then just over time, I learned those strategies and the mindset to grow my company that would allow me to scale it to seven figures and beyond while still honoring the life and people that mean the most to me.
(03:16):
For years, I truly thought it was one or the other. It was prioritizing my family or diving into my business. It was making time for the relationships that mean the most or chasing my dream. It was spending time cultivating my faith or doing all the hustle things. So, if you've grown your business with brute force up until this point, we are now done with all of that. If you felt alone and discouraged and you're ready for a fresh start, join us for future episodes of this podcast. Again, we'll cover all those things that we struggle with, our time with our family, sense of peace, self-fulfillment and even yes, our sanity, while growing our dream profitable business. Many of the leaders on this podcast faced their own internal struggles just like you and they learn from them. They wanted to build national brands and massive impact.
(04:08):
They used these experiences to become even better leaders and versions of themselves. They'll be open and vulnerable about their scariest moments of self-doubt and how to have confidence in your future self as a leader, which is something that took me a while to learn myself. I'm going to be sharing with you just my best tips for creating a profitable, scalable business while making time for the relationships that matter most. Most of all in this podcast, we'll be taking a deep look at that inner journey of moving from a five figure to six figure to seven figure business and beyond. This podcast is perfect for anyone who wants to grow their business, scale their operation, and live a purposeful life while doing it.
