Shownotes

Welcome to The Apple Cart; the podcast for creative disruptors, disruptive creators and anyone who wants to do things differently in business. In this episode, your host, Gudrun Lauret, is joined by Louise Miller.

Louise is on a mission to change the world by helping her clients change the world. She partners with coaches, consultants and community-builders who have a big, exciting vision, helping them land their ideas in reality, reach more people and make a bigger impact, whilst taking care of everything they’re juggling day-to-day and being kind to themselves along the way.

Described by her clients as a soothing balm and a magician, Louise’s experience of work-related stress and anxiety led her to develop a slower, more mindful approach to productivity, which she uses to help her clients get the important things done. 

Louise shares her journey as an employee and a VA and explains how she got to where she is today. She explains how she helps her clients and why the Make it Happen Club isn’t like a typical membership.

She and Gudrun discuss ideas about productivity, where people go wrong and why we need to reframe our approach to it. They discuss ways to be more productive, and agree that what’s most important is your mindset, rather than a quick hack.
