Stop Running on Empty: Formula for Better Business Performance | "Dr. Pat" Boulogne
Episode Description
What if the biggest thing holding back your business isn’t your strategy—it’s your energy?
Dr. Pat joins the Small Business Safari to explain why business performance and personal performance can’t be separated. A chiropractor turned executive and business coach, Dr. Pat shares her approach to “performance intelligence”—combining wellness, mindset, and smart business strategy to help leaders think clearer, make better decisions, and build businesses that don’t leave them running on fumes.
We dig into the basics that can make a surprisingly big difference: nutrition, hydration, sleep, blood sugar, and intermittent fasting. Dr. Pat also shares her “nine before nine” routine for creating momentum by taking care of yourself, your family, and your business before the day gets away from you.
Then we head into the business jungle. Dr. Pat talks about networking by solving problems instead of simply collecting contacts, finding that one powerful referral relationship, spotting missed opportunities for revenue, and creating systems that make growth more repeatable.
And don’t miss her fascinating communication tip: when people get upset, they often respond from a much younger emotional age—and recognizing that can completely change how you communicate with employees, customers, and even family.
