The Visionary Files
Do you ever hear about a business having wild success or achieving *the coolest* result and think, "how the eff did they do that?" Yeah… us, too! That’s why we created The Visionary Files™ podcast (relaunching October 2024)! We publish weekly case study-style episodes to ask successful biz owners all of our (and probably your) burning questions so we can dig deep into the strategies, tactics, mindset, and metrics behind what worked and what didn’t.
The Visionary Files
The #1 Predictor Of a Thriving Business Partnership, with Susan and Jessica Terzakis: Visionary / Integrator Series 3 of 3
Today’s episode concludes a fascinating and FUN series of conversations with the women of Terzakis and Associates by bringing this mother/daughter duo together to speak candidly about what has made their micro-small business consulting firm work…and what hasn’t.
They beautifully describe the intentional work it took to cultivate a productive symbiosis between Susan’s strategist mind (always finding a way to land and drawing excitement in figuring it out as she went) and Jessica’s empirical nature reminding her to “Hang on, there may be a better way than just ‘being okay at the end of the day.'"
Much to our benefit, they offer their journey towards forming the ultimate Visionary/Integrator partnership here as a hand held out to inspire those of us seeking to find that special business someone, too.
Friends, this is one not to be missed!
Quick overview of what we cover:
- How Susan – with her impressive business background, experience, and foresight – actively encourages Jessica’s “lasso” for her ideas
- How Jessica – with her impressive fact-finding/operational talent – actively protects Susan’s space to dream big
- How they were able to transform their early working environment (chaotic whiplash, lighting off Jessica’s fact-finder radar like crazy and causing Susan immense overwhelm) into the extraordinary dynamic they have now
- Their unique approach to counteract the periods of inertia that all businesses experience
- Why they believe it’s healthy to ‘Thelma and Louise some stuff’ to alleviate boredom (not to flirt with risk, but to seek opportunity and deepen their experiences as businesswomen)
- Why “How can I be my subcontractor’s best client?” is the smartest POV to get the most out of your relationship with contractors – for you both
- What led to this mic drop moment: “Those are thieves in the night sent by ego - don’t let it take more from you than what it already has.”
