THE AMBER WEITZER PODCAST SILHOUETTES OF SUCCESS

VALARIE NUSSBAUM | EPISODE 54 | SHOW NOTES

FEATURED GUEST

Our VIP Featured Guest today shines bright for all to see and benefit from her

brilliance of service and empowerment. She considers herself ever-evolving, growth-minded and a strong woman who lets nothing hold her back! She is a wife, mother of three boys, and entrepreneur overseeing two businesses and a former Naval Officer. She’s passionate about all of her roles and we are thrilled to talk with her today!

CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS

Unconventional: As a former Naval Officer, Valarie shares that once leaving the service she was a little lost in her journey. After a few years of trial and error (plus a few cocktails!) she discovered her passion…or passions. Valarie began helping others navigate new waters by aiding them in the transition into securing civilian employment and placement. In addition, she is an educator and advocate for empowering women to be confident in self-defense, protection and concealed carry. She noticed the void in the marketplace for fashionable concealed carry options…and is filling it! With her Naval background she was involved with HR and many roles that allowed her to fine tune the skills of working smarter, not harder-efficiency is key. Oh, by the way…listen up me hardy’s-did you hear her talk about the Pirate attack…she literally wrote the manual!

Discipline: She enjoys the ability to “do it all”! Valarie talks the importance, for her to set priorities, boundaries and a schedule. Time blocking with serious, intentional focus and she doesn’t allow herself to get distracted. One of those priorities is scheduling time for her self-care, family and friends are priorities. This also includes time blocking for her business/work life. Discipline is a learned skill that she has mastered. One best practice she shared is using the “Do Not Disturb/Focus” feature on her smartphone to help stay on track! Something else that stood out is how detailed Valarie gets with her “To Do List”. It’s broken down into mini steps even the laundry gets special attention! Create the habit, stay in the flow of a clearly defined task/goal by breaking it down into steps-the-take action. Rephrasing her thinking was another valuable nugget of treasure Valarie shared, she doesn’t allow herself excuses!

Go-Getter: Very insightful, she saw in herself a limiting factor for her in her earlier years. She realized she was getting in her own way by trying to be or do it perfect. It doesn’t have to …sometimes, it just needs to get done to reach those goals. Accountability, staying in shape mind and body! She reminds us that we cannot give or help others if we aren’t taking care of ourselves! Oxygen mask on the airplane is a relatable visual! Take care of yourself first, then take care of others.

Waking up in gratitude allows her the make every day a great day-by choice! Valarie enjoys problem solving, helping others to scale their businesses, but the corporate life didn’t seem to fit well-life is too short to be miserable in the workplace…. she needs to be challenged! Valarie was able to grow her side gigs into businesses. Collaborative discussions are something she enjoys. For her doing all of the things have come full circle to allow her to embrace all of these adventures! Again, going back to the discipline to help her get it all done! A tough life, business lesson taught her that not everyone is always in your corner. She made the decision to make her own corner, to be less naïve, be smarter, play the game. This experience led her to make new, different intentions to always do good, be good and make a positive impact wherever she goes. To choose who and where you work, surround herself with inspirational women and companies!  

INTENTIONAL INSPIRATION

Always remember…Every day is a new day to get it right!
