There are dreamers and there are doers. And then, there are many that say “I ALWAYS WANTED TO . . . “ Too frequently, that’s where it ends. The thought is not acted upon, it’s stuffed away in the back of our mental sock drawer, never to become a reality. Liz Sumner is on a mission to transform many more of us “I Always Wanted To”-ers into “I Did It!”s by curating stories of inspiration and DIY examples. I think you will be amazed and delighted how my soft spoken, self-acclaimed introvert adeptly coaxes fascinating, informative and humorous accounts from individuals who transformed their dreams into careers, adventures and legacies!

A Productive Life means feeling good about yourself and what you’re accomplishing, not just one hurdle, but over time. You are on task, learning and growing, and making progress on your goals at a pace that suits you. After working with Liz, clients feel able to prioritize what’s important to them; create healthy boundaries from a place of authenticity; and find their own productivity style. An ICF-certified coach with a Master’s in Organizational Development, Liz is also the host of the podcast, “I Always Wanted To”. She interviews people who are doing things that others long to do. Liz lives in a lovely medieval village in central Italy, sings with a jazz orchestra, and does her best to communicate in Italian.

ESSENCE is defined as “the basic nature of a thing; the quality or qualities that make a thing what it is”. We may also refer to essence as our authentic self, true nature or spirit, our core values. I believe our essence evolves as we do, and if we allow it, it becomes truer, richer, more distinctly ‘US’. Finding myself at the busy intersection of Who Am I Now, Who Was I, and Who Do I Want to Become, I realized my decisions would have two different outcomes. My choices contribute to me becoming more of me or less of me. I alone influence the strength of my essence. With this revelation, I have a powerful vetting system for actions and relationships. In this episode, I reveal more about my journey to self-discovery and some of the process and tools I use. I am happy to share one of my essential Encore tools with you!

Entrepreneurs often joke that they are unemployable. After being your own boss for a while, it’s very difficult, if not downright impossible, to be an employee. True to entrepreneurial characteristics, I spontaneously recorded this extra episode to acknowledge that I started my first company thirty-two years ago and I never seriously wanted to have a J.O.B. – a job working for another business owner since. Entrepreneurship is not for everyone and is not always planned or comes about in a way that you’d expect! In my case, my first business was started after my employer declared bankruptcy and I needed a quick means to support my family, as the primary breadwinner. I took the challenge on thinking it would just be temporary - twenty years later I had built an 8-figure business and was winning business awards in major categories. How did that happen? I had decades of experience from helping to grow other peoples’ business and without being aware of it, I was accumulating the skills, knowledge, resources, and confidence to build my own business. Would I have eventually started my own business if the paychecks kept flowing? Would I have walked off the plank of employment on to the deck of my own entrepreneurship? Listen to this episode and draw your own conclusions.

I really had to drag my ass out of bed this morning. And that says something because I am a morning person. I do love waking up before the sun. I love beginning the day when it's quiet out there in the world, and I start to see the colors creeping into the sky. I think what am I going to do with this day, this time, this opportunity to grow again, evolve, live my life as an entrepreneur, as a woman who has many encores ahead of me? Today was hard. I didn’t want to Get Up, Dress Up or Show Up! But I made a promise. I made a promise to show up here every week, and share the lessons of my life as I evolve, grow, and transform in my sixties; figuring out who I want to be next and how I'm going to make that happen. In today’s episode, I share from my secret arsenal of tools and techniques to move myself from resistance to accomplishment and keep a promise to myself – Because I Said I Would!
