Welcome back to The Cash Rich Exit Podcast! I’m your host, Colleen O’Connell-Campbell, Wealth Advisor. In this episode, we wrap up our enlightening three-part series with leadership coach Eric Deschamps. We talk about one of the most personal aspects of an entrepreneurial exit: redefining identity and purpose beyond the business.   🌟 Rediscovering yourself After the Exit: We discuss the psychological impact of leaving behind the role of business owner and the challenge of finding a new sense of self. Many entrepreneurs define their identity by their work, and the prospect of stepping away can feel like stepping into a void.   🧠 The Role of Vision, Mission, and Values: We explore how understanding your core values and crafting a personal vision can give you clarity and direction for the next chapter of your life. Eric introduces a framework for uncovering or redefining these elements to align with your current stage of life.   🏆 Practical Tools for Transitioning: From redeeming your past story to taking on reflective exercises like the 15-Day Life Vision Challenge, Eric provides actionable strategies for reconnecting with your purpose and discovering joy outside of your business.   🎯 Key Takeaways for the Self-Made Nation:   Your Purpose Is More Than your Business: Start exploring what life beyond work looks like now, not when the sale is imminent. Reflect on your Core Values: Use your values as a compass to navigate the next chapter of your life. Take the First Step: Stop waiting for change to come to you - start creating the life you want today. Are you ready to start planning for your cash-rich exit while preparing for a meaningful next chapter? Let’s connect.

Welcome back to ‘The Cash Rich Exit Podcast’! I’m your host, Colleen O'Connell-Campbell, Wealth Advisor. Today, we continue our conversation with Eric Deschamps, a leadership and business coach who talks about the often-overlooked issue of loneliness in leadership. Eric brings insights on how to navigate isolation, especially for those at the top who may feel the weight of leading, without a peer group to lean on.   🌟 Redefining Leadership Loneliness: Eric opens up about the reality of isolation many leaders experience, describing it as a "silent pandemic," especially for men who may lack a support system outside of work. He emphasizes that leadership is about making hard decisions AND about finding the courage to seek connection and support.   🧠 Navigating the "Lone Wolf" Mindset: We explore the common “lone wolf” mindset often encouraged in leadership, where self-reliance becomes a double-edged sword. Eric explains the difference between standing strong in solitude when necessary and living in prolonged isolation, which can negatively impact both personal and professional growth.   💪 Strategies for Overcoming Isolation: Eric shares actionable advice on creating a network of support, finding mentors, and establishing an inner circle for meaningful connection. He stresses the importance of reaching out, sharing vulnerabilities, and moving from self-imposed isolation to a mindset of connection and openness.   💼 Key Takeaways for the Self-Made Nation:   Loneliness Isn’t Permanent: Recognize that isolation can be a temporary phase and that you have the power to change it. Embrace Vulnerability: True connection begins when you’re willing to show your authentic self. Find your People: Seek a community or mentor group to share both your challenges and triumphs.   Thank you for listening to this valuable discussion, and stay tuned for the final part of our series with Eric.

Welcome back to The Cash Rich Exit Podcast! I’m your host, Colleen O'Connell-Campbell, Wealth Advisor to business owners working towards a cash rich exit. In today’s episode, we kick off part one of a three-part conversation with business and leadership coach, Eric Deschamps. Eric brings a wealth of knowledge, sharing insights into maintaining work-life balance - though, as you'll hear, he prefers the term "work-life rhythm".   🎙 The Ebb and Flow of Life and Business: Eric talks to me about the importance of understanding that life and business are not meant to be perfectly balanced, but rather harmonized in an ebb and flow. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing different seasons in life and business and how to adjust to them, rather than striving for unrealistic balance.   🛠 Tackling Burnout: Eric shares his personal experiences with burnout and highlights the common signs entrepreneurs face, including fatigue, irritability, and lack of motivation. He discusses how taking time off is only part of the solution. To truly overcome burnout, systemic changes and mindset shifts are necessary.   🧠 The Power of Leadership and Self-Care: As a coach, Eric has worked with thousands of leaders. He explains that effective leadership is about more than business strategies - it’s about personal growth, mindset shifts, and prioritizing self-care. By focusing on yourself and investing in your own well-being, you bring the best version of yourself to every role, both personally and professionally.   📈 Key Takeaways for Entrepreneurs:   Watch for Burnout: If you’re asking yourself, “Am I burnt out?” you likely are. It’s time to seek help and make changes before burnout derails you. Delegate Wisely: Leaders must delegate tasks effectively to focus on the highest and best use of their time, rather than getting bogged down in minor tasks. Recognize your Season: Understand that life and work come in seasons - sometimes your business needs more attention, and sometimes your personal life does. Adjust your priorities accordingly.   Are you feeling the weight of balancing business and life? It might be time to evaluate your current situation and your future exit strategy so you can focus on securing your financial future.

As an entrepreneur in her 20’s, Lily has already faced immense challenges and learned how to navigate the entrepreneurial landscape, offering valuable insights for seasoned business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs alike.   🧑‍🍳 Building a Business from Scratch: Lily shares her entrepreneurial journey, starting Spyce Girlz in high school to solve a problem she noticed in the spice industry - too much salt and too many unhealthy ingredients. Her story is a perfect example of how passion and necessity can lead to innovation and success.   🌱 The Power of Mentorship: Lily discusses the role of mentorship and the support she received, from her mother to business accelerators like Invest Ottawa and YSpace. She explains how this guidance has helped shape her entrepreneurial education, proving that even "self-made" entrepreneurs need a strong support system.   💪 Overcoming Challenges as a Young Entrepreneur: One of the biggest hurdles Lily has faced is being underestimated as a young woman in business. She talks of her experiences with suppliers and contractors who didn’t take her seriously and how she learned to advocate for herself and demand the quality her business deserves.   🏆 Fun, Frank Advice: Lily’s key piece of advice? “Don’t be afraid to be weird.” She encourages entrepreneurs to be bold, be different, and embrace their authentic selves. It’s these traits that set successful businesses apart.   🎯 Key Takeaways:   Trust your instincts and follow your passion.
