  • Implement "bubble time" by scheduling uninterrupted 90-minute blocks daily where you eliminate all distractions to achieve pure productivity and efficiency.
  • Recognize that 92% of what we worry about is either imaginary, already happened, or unnecessary, leaving only 8% as legitimate concerns worth your energy.

[02:11] SPEAKER_02: from all around the world and across Canada and they're super eager to find out more about you as well.
[02:16] SPEAKER_02: Please tell us a little bit more about yourself, where you're from and provide a few details on your
[02:21] SPEAKER_03: current business. Okay, well I'm originally from Quebec City and I moved to BC about 24 years ago
[02:30] SPEAKER_03: or 23 years ago. I fell in love with BC. I now I live on the island, which I'm super excited about.
[02:37] SPEAKER_03: Yes, yeah, I'm on the rock. Yeah, I'm totally, totally thrilled. BC is just one of the most,
[02:43] SPEAKER_03: I've traveled around the world and I have to say when I come back to BC, when I come back to Vancouver
[02:47] SPEAKER_03: and Vancouver Island specifically, I feel like honestly the luckiest woman on earth.
[02:53] SPEAKER_03: And what we do, well, I own a company called Leap Zone Strategy and we are basically a very
[03:00] SPEAKER_03: talented branding and coaching agency that's dedicated to helping extraordinary entrepreneurs and
[03:07] SPEAKER_03: thought leaders create passionate, differentiated brands so that they can actually be found by their
[03:15] SPEAKER_03: ideal clients and their ideal clients can say, oh my god, where have you been on my life?
[03:21] SPEAKER_03: Fantastic, what's the name of your company? Leap Zone Strategies.
[03:25] SPEAKER_02: Did you need financing to start this particular business?
[03:30] SPEAKER_03: I did not. I actually started my god years ago right out of my teens, right? As you said earlier
[03:37] SPEAKER_03: and I started by buying what I needed out of having worked on particular projects. So I would
[03:43] SPEAKER_03: basically, each project that I took on was basically paying for the next leg of what I needed
[03:50] SPEAKER_02: in my business and I basically founded myself. Nice. Well, everybody's story is a little bit different
[03:56] SPEAKER_02: on how they started but how do you actually make money now in your business? Well, we have a variety
[04:02] SPEAKER_03: of different services and products from retreats here on the island in the new space all the way down
[04:09] SPEAKER_03: to rebrands. So we often do project-based, complete rebrands for businesses and we also have coaches
[04:18] SPEAKER_03: who coaches with our Leap Zone proprietary methodology of coaching and so we work one-on-one
[04:26] SPEAKER_03: with clients, we work in groups and we also have an online product and online program basically
[04:32] SPEAKER_03: that's called Build to Rock. And so we are online, offline, group one-on-one, you name it,
[04:39] SPEAKER_02: we help you with it. It's sometimes hard to encapsulate in a few sentences but what is the long
[04:46] SPEAKER_02: term vision? What will your company look like in the future and how do you service clients around
[04:53] SPEAKER_03: the world? Yeah, our business in the future will have many, many, probably hundreds of different
[05:00] SPEAKER_03: coaches who actually will have a license of, to license our methodology and that will be able to
[05:09] SPEAKER_03: create the impact that I've set out to create years ago, five years ago I created a mission for
[05:15] SPEAKER_03: myself and a vision for myself to impact two million, initially it was one million entrepreneurs
[05:21] SPEAKER_03: and I gave myself an, I think, an eight-year, five- or eight-year vision to get there and I reached
[05:28] SPEAKER_03: it within a couple of years due to my TED Talk which already has over two million views and so,
[05:34] SPEAKER_03: you know, we, we re-jigged our vision because honestly we're passionate about helping
[05:40] SPEAKER_03: entrepreneurs, small business owners and thought leaders build a life, build a brand and build a
[05:46] SPEAKER_03: business that is by design, not by default. And I'm really passionate about really helping people
[05:53] SPEAKER_03: operate with more attention, intention and love and we've got our methodology to help you that.
[06:00] SPEAKER_03: So what I'd love is I'd love to take over the globe so that, so that, you know, the small business
[06:06] SPEAKER_03: owners of the world that can't afford immensely expensive consultants can also have access to amazing
[06:14] SPEAKER_03: coaching and amazing online programs to really help them build a business that's built to succeed.
[06:20] SPEAKER_02: Isabel, let's talk about BC a little bit and where you are. What are the biggest benefits for you
[06:25] SPEAKER_02: in being an entrepreneur here on Vancouver Island?
[06:29] SPEAKER_03: Oh, well, you know what, there's so many benefits. First of all, I love where I live. I live in
[06:34] SPEAKER_03: the new space. It's in, you know, I'm assuming central, more center of the island and everything,
[06:41] SPEAKER_03: you know, I used to live in Yelthound Vancouver and it took me no less than 45 minutes to get
[06:47] SPEAKER_03: anywhere, anywhere, even close, you know, it took me 45 minutes to get there. Now, my god, within 10
[06:53] SPEAKER_03: minutes, I'm pretty much anywhere I want from outstanding nature spots to ocean, to mountains,
[07:01] SPEAKER_03: to downtown cores, everything that I need is right there, which is absolutely amazing. Not to mention
[07:08] SPEAKER_03: that our property, we've got five point two acres, an equestrian property, it's quiet, it's beautiful,
[07:15] SPEAKER_03: it's magical. So I get to hop on a 20 minute float plane, get to downtown Corvane,
[07:21] SPEAKER_03: Coover, or I get to literally stay on my magical piece of land. And I think that's the best of both
[07:28] SPEAKER_02: worlds. Awesome. How about some of the tough challenges of living on an island?
[07:36] SPEAKER_03: Well, you know, getting to other parts of the world has a couple of different steps,
[07:43] SPEAKER_03: because, you know, our airport doesn't, it's an international airport on the island, but
[07:48] SPEAKER_03: it doesn't go to every location as Vancouver would. You know, I miss the boardwalk, I miss the sea
[07:55] SPEAKER_03: wall of Vancouver, I miss some of the architecture mixed with the mountains. So there's definitely
[08:00] SPEAKER_03: pieces of Vancouver that I absolutely miss, but the benefits also, the people here on the island,
[08:06] SPEAKER_03: we're nice, we're awesome, help each other, and we're, you know, we care, and I'm not saying that
[08:13] SPEAKER_03: the folks on Vancouver mainline don't care. And at the same time, it's a really different vibe.
[08:20] SPEAKER_03: So there's definitely pluses and minuses, and I wouldn't be here still if the pluses didn't
[08:25] SPEAKER_02: outweigh the minuses. Excellent. Well, and you know, we all do some of our best work outside the
[08:31] SPEAKER_02: office. Is there a place that you've discovered in and around your property that you go to recharge,
[08:39] SPEAKER_02: get inspired, or just think about your business? Totally, we've got a couple of spots.
[08:45] SPEAKER_03: There's a nachhil, which is a place where we hike, and it's literally a 10 minute walk from our
[08:50] SPEAKER_03: place. So, you know, I spend a lot of time outside in nature. I love the little old part of the
[09:01] SPEAKER_03: amazing food and little treasure shops, and I'm not a big shopper by no means, but I just love to
[09:08] SPEAKER_03: be inspired by what other people are doing, and just having a change of scenery, right, or having
[09:14] SPEAKER_02: a little bit of a different pace in my day. If you were to start all over again, and you just moved
[09:20] SPEAKER_02: to Vancouver Island, which I know you have been here really only a few years, but if you didn't
[09:26] SPEAKER_02: know anyone, knowing what you know now, what would you do first if you were starting all over here?
[09:33] SPEAKER_03: Oh, good question. You know, I would have gotten to know my neighbors a lot faster. We got really
[09:40] SPEAKER_03: busy with renos and with retreats here, and I found myself eight months a year into it, and having
[09:47] SPEAKER_03: not even met all the neighbors in my neck of the woods. I would have started yoga again,
[09:55] SPEAKER_03: much sooner. Basically, I would have done things that put me in a position where I'm with people,
[10:03] SPEAKER_03: much quicker. I would have it would have actually been helpful. Gotcha. And you've been sparring me now.
[10:09] SPEAKER_02: I've got a little more stuff to have a muffins event, and I've feeling like that needs to come to
[10:13] SPEAKER_02: the top of my list. Yeah, there you go. What books are you reading now? Whether they're physical,
[10:21] SPEAKER_02: or in a page book, or audio books that you can recommend to our listeners who are also aspiring
[10:27] SPEAKER_03: entrepreneur? Yeah, there's a few that are just to absolutely amazing. One of them is essentialism.
[10:35] SPEAKER_03: Essentialism by Greg McCowen is a book that I, in my world, it's probably one of the best books on
[10:42] SPEAKER_03: the planet for small business owners and people, obviously, either human race, of course,
[10:47] SPEAKER_03: especially people in business. Another one that I absolutely love is rework. It is a beautiful short
[10:56] SPEAKER_03: read that has so many truths and so many facts of business to really help someone prioritize.
[11:06] SPEAKER_03: And another book that I absolutely adore is I'm trying to, it's been by Brendan Bouchard.
[11:13] SPEAKER_03: And it's about high performance. I think it's, oh, high performance habits.
[11:17] SPEAKER_03: Very, very great book around what high performing individuals, how they live, what they do,
[11:23] SPEAKER_03: what they don't do. And those three books are definitely some of my favorites.
[11:30] SPEAKER_02: What's your favorite word, quote, or sentence, Isabel, that you like to use?
[11:35] SPEAKER_02: And what is also your least favorite word or sentence you don't like hearing?
[11:42] SPEAKER_03: Okay. My favorite words and sentences, one of them is everything is an experiment and nothing is
[11:51] SPEAKER_03: permanent. That just keeps me from taking things too seriously. I like a quote that I came up with
[12:00] SPEAKER_03: years and years and years ago with one of my coaches is it's easier to do it than it is to
[12:05] SPEAKER_03: dwell on it. So I use that a lot of my own, that's my own medicine, but use that a lot. And my
[12:11] SPEAKER_03: favorite word, Margaret, and I have a word every year that an intention basically, but it's one
[12:16] SPEAKER_03: word. And this year, my word is buoyancy and boy, and she can I tell you how practical and amazing
[12:24] SPEAKER_03: and a savior of a word this has been for me this year so far. So it keeps me light. It keeps me,
[12:31] SPEAKER_03: yeah, it helps me not take things too, too, too seriously. And so those were some of my,
[12:36] SPEAKER_03: some of my favorites. There's a thousand more, but I'm assuming we're on a timeline here. So
[12:42] SPEAKER_02: what kind of thing that kind of hurts you and and grades on you if you hear your least favorite.
[12:47] SPEAKER_03: Yeah, least favorite would be I can't or I don't think it's possible. Like anything that has to do with
[12:54] SPEAKER_03: I can't or not possible or things that would blame like it's not my fault. It's because of this or
[13:02] SPEAKER_03: I just don't like excuses. I think it's a it's a way to not be self-responsible. Like I believe that
[13:08] SPEAKER_03: I'm responsible for everything that's happening in my life. And I think that I think that things
[13:13] SPEAKER_03: happen for us, not to us. When we start looking at it that way, like things happen for us, not to us,
[13:21] SPEAKER_03: suddenly there's no blame to be had and only learning opportunities. Nice.
[13:26] SPEAKER_02: On a practical note, what online or offline tools do you use on a daily basis?
[13:32] SPEAKER_02: Oh my god. I have a lot. I'm very techy. We stick to the top tier three.
[13:38] SPEAKER_03: Stop top two or three. On my phone, a couple of apps that I could not live without. One of them is
[13:46] SPEAKER_03: Voxer, which is a walkie talkie app that allows me to communicate without writing. Another app that
[13:53] SPEAKER_03: talking about books, it's Blinkist. And Blinkist is an application that basically gives me calls notes
[14:00] SPEAKER_03: on books that would take me either a year to read because I'm dyslexic so I don't like to read. Or
[14:06] SPEAKER_03: that would take 20, 25 hours to listen to on the audible. I get the absolute core gem of that book
[14:13] SPEAKER_03: within 20 minutes, 25 minutes. And I just love that. Those are two things that I don't live without.
[14:20] SPEAKER_03: And Zoom. Zoom is an amazing tool online that we're on it right now. Zoom, Zoom. Zoom. Yeah,
[14:27] SPEAKER_03: Zoom is an amazing tool for communication again. And I use a tool called Snagget, which allows
[14:34] SPEAKER_03: me to capture my screen and my voice at the same time. So I walk through clients through proposals.
[14:40] SPEAKER_03: I do a lot of presentations that way without having to actually meet with the clients or saving
[14:45] SPEAKER_03: everybody some time yet being super productive and effective. You have to pick one or two words
[14:52] SPEAKER_02: to describe yourself. What would they be and why? Uh, jet fuel. Okay, and why? It's pretty self
[15:00] SPEAKER_03: explanatory. It's pretty self-absolutory. You know, when I spend time with people, whether it's one
[15:04] SPEAKER_03: minute or five days, I give, I create a lot of momentum. Our promise here at Leibzone is clarity,
[15:13] SPEAKER_03: pivotal shifts, and momentum. And I, for some reason, I have a, a knack for really getting people
[15:21] SPEAKER_03: clear and getting them to propel themselves forward thus jet fuel, thus momentum generator.
[15:27] SPEAKER_02: Awesome. Any advice you have received that you can pass on to entrepreneurs throughout British
[15:33] SPEAKER_03: Columbia? You know, one of the best advice that I've received that I've implemented and I'm
[15:39] SPEAKER_03: still implementing today is treating myself as my own million dollar client. Because, you know,
[15:47] SPEAKER_03: we're all very busy. We all are meant to impact and serve other people. And for some weird reason,
[15:54] SPEAKER_03: we put ourselves aside in our business. We do that in our personal life as well. But in our business,
[15:59] SPEAKER_03: you know, if I have a meeting with myself or with one of my team players and a client phones and
[16:05] SPEAKER_03: they want that time slot, I used to give that time slot right away without even hesitating. And then
[16:10] SPEAKER_03: finding myself at the end of a year, at the end of two years, at the end of five years with an
[16:15] SPEAKER_03: amazing track record for helping others, but having a fairly clunky business. And so since I've
[16:21] SPEAKER_03: actually implemented, and this is one of the principles that we teach here at Leibzone firsthand
[16:25] SPEAKER_03: when we start working with clients is to really create an architecture where you will treat yourself
[16:31] SPEAKER_03: as a high, high paying client. And you're going to work on your business as if you were paid as
[16:38] SPEAKER_03: if it was a client. Because we never, we're never late for a client meeting or we never not show up.
[16:43] SPEAKER_03: Let's put it that way for a client meeting. But yet, we don't show up for ourselves all the time.
[16:47] SPEAKER_03: So I've rectified that with this principle. And I teach that and it makes a massive difference in
[16:53] SPEAKER_03: how you can operate, how you can better and elevate your business. But also the level in which you
[17:01] SPEAKER_02: can generate and create makes a big difference. Now, Isabel, I know, had a privilege of going a little
[17:08] SPEAKER_02: bit through the built-in rock program. There's a word that you use. It's not bubbles. Yeah, it's bubble time.
[17:14] SPEAKER_03: It is bubble time. Okay, what is bubble time again? Yeah, bubble time is when you actually set a
[17:23] SPEAKER_03: lapse of time that is absolutely uninterrupted. So I use bubble time in my schedule all the time
[17:30] SPEAKER_03: every week, every day I have a minimum of a 90 minute bubble time all up all the way up to a half
[17:36] SPEAKER_03: a day, which means that there's no ding-ding, Bing Bing, no phones, no distractions, just pure
[17:43] SPEAKER_03: productivity, pure efficiency work. And that as well, that basically one year when I started
[17:50] SPEAKER_03: implementing that, I started implementing that NG because we used to have 20 employees in a big
[17:55] SPEAKER_03: space, a big open space. And I found myself going to work at 430 in the morning. I would be super
[18:02] SPEAKER_03: productive until my herd of employees arrived at 9am. And then I would troubleshoot and be disrupted
[18:09] SPEAKER_03: all day. And then when they left, if I was lucky, they'd all leave before 6. And then I would work
[18:16] SPEAKER_03: another 4 or 5 hours on interrupted time. And then I thought, right, you know what? This is fantastic.
[18:21] SPEAKER_03: I love that I'm effective, but I have no life and my employees have a fantastic life. And I got
[18:25] SPEAKER_03: tired of this. Absolutely. Well, I'm a bubble time fan. Yeah, it's changed my life and the life of
[18:32] SPEAKER_03: hundreds of my clients. What keeps you at night? Anything? What keeps me up at night right now is my
[18:41] SPEAKER_03: hot flashes. But I know I know the meaning in which you're asking. So I, you know, I'm very
[18:50] SPEAKER_03: creative. And so when I'm at rest, that's usually when my body, my mind, or at their most
[18:58] SPEAKER_03: creative peak. So there's lots of times where I'm a four o'clocker getting up. So I wake up super
[19:06] SPEAKER_03: early. I'm in the four o'clock clan. Most people are in the five o'clock clan. And so for me,
[19:12] SPEAKER_03: any type of creating, any type of excitement around creating something new or when I don't have
[19:20] SPEAKER_03: the problem solve, it's keeping me up at night because I want to solve the problem. Once I've solved
[19:24] SPEAKER_03: the problem and it's time to create something, it keeps me up at night because I want to just go
[19:29] SPEAKER_03: and I want to rev and I want to create it. So my brain basically on the create, not on the worry side,
[19:35] SPEAKER_02: so much at all, more on the creative side. Well, and you meant to worry, like, no, I have watched your
[19:42] SPEAKER_02: your TED talk. And that's something that jumped out at me on that TED talk is your your sentiment worry.
[19:49] SPEAKER_02: Can you just get insight on your thoughts on worry and it's purpose or lack thereof?
[19:56] SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so I believe that whatever you're worried about, it stems from something that you're tolerating.
[20:04] SPEAKER_03: So if you, instead, because it's hard to say, oh, let's worry less, but it's easier to say,
[20:09] SPEAKER_03: hmm, what am I tolerating? Big or small, doesn't matter. What am I tolerating that is picking my
[20:15] SPEAKER_03: ass and that is causing me to worry. And worry, by the way, it leads to disease, it leads to
[20:24] SPEAKER_03: not being at your best, it leads to your dreams diminish, the bulb dimming your dreams, right? So
[20:31] SPEAKER_03: I can't really look at what is it that we're tolerating. And if it's not something that I'm tolerating,
[20:38] SPEAKER_03: usually it's really not that important. And in my TED talk, I give some statistics,
[20:42] SPEAKER_03: 40% of what we worry about will never happen to begin with. So that's just a pure imagination.
[20:50] SPEAKER_03: 30% of what we worry about has already happened. So there's no no need for worrying about that.
[20:55] SPEAKER_03: It's already happened. And then there's, I think it's 12% of what we worry about. I think it's
[21:01] SPEAKER_03: unnecessary health scares, which basically at the end of this whole thing, it leaves 8% for
[21:07] SPEAKER_03: legitimate possible worry, things to worry about. Which if you look in your life at how much we
[21:12] SPEAKER_03: all worry as a North American society, it's pretty devastating because we spend most of our
[21:19] SPEAKER_03: awesome energy to worry instead of actually doing something that would be more effective,
[21:25] SPEAKER_03: more efficient and more pleasant. That's a perfect segue into, can you give me two or three things
[21:33] SPEAKER_03: that are on your inspired life list? Okay, on my inspired life list, as in things or things to do or
[21:44] SPEAKER_03: either, either there's so many. But the first few, one of them is to take six months off per year.
[21:53] SPEAKER_03: I used to take 16 weeks off per year. And of course, my life has dramatically changed here with
[21:59] SPEAKER_03: animals. So on my in my absolute like, oh my god, I've made it and I'm super inspired. And this is
[22:07] SPEAKER_03: how I'm operating. I would literally take six months off to not off to do nothing, but off to
[22:12] SPEAKER_03: create and to do things that don't have a tie to anything to a to of course, it would be creating
[22:20] SPEAKER_03: four clients, but not directly tied to clients. I would also include a little bit more flexibility
[22:27] SPEAKER_03: and freedom in my day to day. I tend to be very booked solid and I'd love to. So it all in my on my
[22:35] SPEAKER_03: inspired list, it's all things around creating more freedom and more creative inspiration moments
[22:42] SPEAKER_02: for myself and for people around me. Mm-hmm. On my book, I have having Isabel and Margarita over to my
[22:49] SPEAKER_02: back deck on my inspired list. Some point of summer. Well, it's good to be done.
[22:57] SPEAKER_02: One one thing that I have to skip back to, did you really say that you're in the 4am wake-up club?
[23:05] SPEAKER_02: Yep. Oh my gosh. What does that first hour of the day look like for you?
[23:10] SPEAKER_03: It looks like a good first half an hour of meditation. So I meditate on perfect health
[23:18] SPEAKER_03: on abundance, abundance of energy, abundance of money, abundance of ideal, ideal opportunities.
[23:25] SPEAKER_03: So lots of meditation and then now this is on my, I'm my inspired list, but I'm doing it every day.
[23:32] SPEAKER_03: It's I learn, I love to learn. So in the morning early, it's about me, it's not about my clients,
[23:39] SPEAKER_03: it's not about my team, it's not about anyone else. It's about me reading or listening to a
[23:48] SPEAKER_03: learning about a new tool that could help us be more efficient or be more productive.
[23:53] SPEAKER_03: Or it's about learning about a new product that I would like, like right now, I'm on a,
[23:58] SPEAKER_03: I'm on a mission to detoxify my home. So I want no products, nothing that would have any type of
[24:05] SPEAKER_03: toxins in my home. It's not the case right now. I've got lots of toxins. So right now I'm researching
[24:11] SPEAKER_03: products and things that we can replace things with. So those are all things that I do
[24:16] SPEAKER_03: for myself early in the morning. So that I refill refill my cup. So that come time to actually
[24:23] SPEAKER_03: completely deliver my genius and be completely attentive to others. Then I don't feel that I have
[24:31] SPEAKER_03: the word I'm looking for here is not taken care of myself. Yoga, you know, there's yoga as well
[24:37] SPEAKER_03: in the morning, like this morning, I had my yoga class super early. So yeah, I tend to do things either
[24:43] SPEAKER_03: that move me physically move me or that spiritually and creatively move me. Nice. Bit of fun
[24:51] SPEAKER_02: Isabelle, we're going to jump to a tropical island just off Fiji. This place has a phone booth
[24:58] SPEAKER_02: and no internet. So we're going to drop you off there. You won't have a computer or a
[25:03] SPEAKER_02: smartphone or a tablet and you can use the phone booth at any point to call about and come pick you up.
[25:08] SPEAKER_02: How long would you last before you made the call and what would you do while you were there?
[25:13] SPEAKER_03: Nice. I would last for a while because I'm pretty handy and if it's tropical island, I could last for
[25:24] SPEAKER_03: oh, I just that's my favorite place on earth to be on a tropical island. So I'd probably last
[25:32] SPEAKER_03: I probably have enough fat on me as well to last me for a couple of days. In case I didn't, I couldn't
[25:39] SPEAKER_03: find a lot of awesomeness to eat. And so yeah, you know what, I would last as long as I possibly can.
[25:46] SPEAKER_03: My creativity would probably get in the way. I'd be like, oh my god, I'm itching to create something.
[25:51] SPEAKER_03: So I'd probably create furniture with wood and bamboo and awesome. Isabelle, how can our podcast
