Why Everything Comes Down to your Mission and Values with Hunter Lowder

Hunter Lowder is co-owner of Tortoise &amp; The Bear, a business strategy, operations, and mindset coaching company that supports visionaries in bringing their wild and crazy dreams to life. Coupling her past business experience as CEO of a multi-million dollar company with mindful coaching approaches, Hunter helps service-based business owners create and prioritize a strategic plan to grow their impact and move their business forward in a sustainable way. After suffering severe burnout as a CEO, Hunter is passionate about building a business in alignment with her values. When she’s not helping clients fine tune their operations, she’s likely dancing and singing karaoke with her husband, feeding her son’s football team, or hanging out at the beach with her fur babies.    Here’s what we covered on the episode:  Experiencing Burnout + How to Cope     Hunter shares that she ran a luxury wedding venue in southern California, but towards the end of her career, she was having a lot of physical problems and realized she wasn’t taking care of herself because of her mindset   There were two options for Hunter, she could leave her career to heal or have a heart attack at age 35, so she decided to leave   When Hunter left her career, she didn’t know who she was anymore because her career became her identity, so she started working with a career life coach and dove into personality assessments    It took Hunter 6 months to a year to realize that she needed to be kinder to her body and try her hardest every single day, but also forgive herself if she didn’t hit her goals, unlike her overachiever, type A old self would have   For the first couple of years after Hunter’s burnout, it took a lot of practice to figure out what intuition was: what was her body saying yes or no to versus what was just fear   We talk about reverse engineering your business, where you look at the big picture of where you want to go and break it down into smaller chunks that feel doable   Hunter helps her clients close the gap between today and their goal by creating SMART(Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-based) goals and breaking them down into each year, quarter, month, week, and day   You need to permit yourself to work in the way that works best for you, and as women, Hunter says we need to consider our cycles when figuring out what works best for us and not plan anything stressful during that week if it affects you in a certain way   Tortoise &amp; The Bear + VIP Days    After Hunter’s burnout, she knew she wanted to help women like herself: Type A overachievers and those recovering from burnout, so she got a ton of coaching certificates but realized she wasn’t meant to be a coach   Hunter got a job as an executive operations assistant to help dip her toes back into the workforce, and got promoted to operations manager after 3 months and is still with them today   While working with this company, Hunter decided she would still take on clients and ended up working 50-hour weeks, which isn’t what she wanted to be doing     How Hunter was able to pivot into strategy instead of being the implementor and got her director of operations certification to help translate brick-and-mortar business strategy to online business strategy   Now, Hunter offers VIP Days for small business owners who are looking to have a sales and visibility strategy based on their personality    Hunter learned that she was a manifesting generator which made so much sense to her because she loves being interviewed, answering questions, and talking to people, but where she struggles is creating the content when no one is interacting with her, like on a blog or social media post   One of Hunter’s main forms of content is podcasting, and she shares that she’s creating her own podcast   Something Hunter recommends to all her clients is content repurposing – find what you love to do and repurpose it on all platforms   A goal of Hunter’s after her son graduates is to have a nomadic life where she can live from anywhere and work from anywhere   Hunter typically works with creative solopreneurs who are struggling with consistency, usually a lot of women who are on their 2nd career   How Hunter’s VIP Days help set clients up for the next steps in their business, which usually includes hiring a virtual assistant, scaling the business, doing group programs, etc.   One of the biggest lessons in business and in life that Hunter has learned is that the only thing she has control over is how she reacts to things     Hunter feels that TikTok and reels on Instagram are refreshing because they are raw and real   At tortoiseandthebear.com/podcast, you can find a free customer journey audit from Hunter, where she will give you suggestions and ideas to implement to help make your leads, sales, and marketing efforts easier and more consistent   Connect with Hunter on Instagram      Links mentioned: Tortoise &amp; The Bear Website Customer Journey Audit  Connect with Hunter on Instagram  Connect with Hunter on TikTok   Like what you heard?   Click here to subscribe + leave a review on iTunes.

The Design Business Show 217: Recovering From Burnout and Creating Your Ideal Career Lifestyle with Hunter Lowder

Today With Hunter Lowder: Welcome to A Well-Designed Business. We’ve all heard that we should free ourselves up for CEO-level tasks. But knowing we should and actually following through with it are very different things. It can be hard for entrepreneurs who feel like they have to carry everything in their business. Sometimes, the operations get jumbled along the way. My guest today, Hunter Lowder, runs a business that steps in and serves as fractional COO to get designers back on track. She’s sharing how we can let go, how to find the right person for the job, and how the process of bringing someone in actually works. Pick It Apart [1:48] LuAnn and Hunter discuss what bringing in an outside COO looks like and how it can work.  [5:15] Hunter shares why business owners often experience overwhelm.  [10:33] Hunter and LuAnn discuss the importance of mission, vision, and values when bringing someone into the COO role.  [18:23] Hunter shares two tips for people who might need assistance in their operations.  [33:15] Hunter discusses the different ways she supports business owners. LuAnn Nigara and Hunter Lowder's Ah-Ha Moments “I think everybody talks about creativity and visionaries…but then there’s the side like me who are operations and systems. We are kind of like the fun police, telling people, it’s great that you love what you do—here’s how we make it sustainable.” - Hunter Lowder “The original entrepreneur gets it going…but now the business is growing and decisions need to be made on the daily. The whole organization is accustomed to the CEO being the decision-maker. But there’s this level where the CEO is seeing the next level for the business but is stuck in the weeds of the day-to-day decision making.” - LuAnn Nigara More About Hunter Lowder: Hunter Lowder is co-owner of Tortoise &amp; The Bear, a business strategy, operations, and mindset coaching company that supports visionaries in bringing their wild and crazy dreams to life.

166 | Talk about Fear & Intuition with Hunter Lowder

Remember when you first started your business and how excited you were to set your goals and plan out your business model, your offers, and your marketing strategy?  Then you got busy with the day-to-day running of your business and suddenly you were in the thick of it. Proposals, onboarding, project work, handling the little things that pop up unexpectedly and seem to need your attention right away.  One day you look up and realise that while you enjoy what you do and have enough work to cover your bills and expenses, you haven’t really made any headway towards achieving your long-term goals in terms of business growth and profit.  You’re so busy focused on the everyday stuff that even just finding the time and space to start thinking long term again, let alone planning actions to achieve those goals feels impossible - you’re already exhausted just trying to keep everything going!  You want more results from your business, but if you put in more hours, you’re risking burnout, and the whole reason you started your business in the first place was to have more freedom.  So what do you do? Well, you start by learning from the people who have been there before.  In this episode, Marissa chats with Hunter Lowder about reverse engineering your business growth, including stair-stepping your way into the CEO role, Hunter's take on SMART goals, and the first step to take towards growing your business.  Free customer journey audit with Hunter: https://www.tortoiseandthebear.com/podcast  Download the free Business Foundations Workbook here to learn how to reverse engineer your business &amp; reach your revenue goals without burnout  Connect with Hunter on her website, Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok or LinkedIn  ---  Enjoyed this episode?

Well, you start by learning from the people who have been there before.  In this episode, Marissa chats with Hunter Lowder about reverse engineering your business growth, including stair-stepping your way into the CEO role, Hunter's take on SMART goals, and the first step to take towards growing your business.  Free customer journey audit with Hunter: <a href="https://www.tortoiseandthebear.com/podcast" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.tortoiseandthebear.com/podcast</a> Download the free Business Foundations Workbook <a href="https://expert-leader-2917.ck.page/tortoise-and-the-bear" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> to learn how to reverse engineer your business &amp; reach your revenue goals without burnout  Connect with Hunter on her website, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tortoiseandthebear/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tortoiseandthebear" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tortoiseandthebear" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tik Tok</a> or <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/tortoise-and-the-bear/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> ---  Enjoyed this episode?
