Jennifer Takagi:

Welcome to destined for success. I'm your

Jennifer Takagi:

host Jennifer Takagi and today, it's so fun. I have my friend

Jennifer Takagi:

Elise Bogart with me. And Elisa and I met online. And then we

Jennifer Takagi:

got to meet in person, which always is the best to actually

Jennifer Takagi:

get to know people walked in a room didn't know a soul. Like

Jennifer Takagi:

literally, it was like, I know her. I know her for the bucks.

Jennifer Takagi:

So another one of my Canadian friends, I keep connecting with

Jennifer Takagi:

Canadians and collecting them. There's so much fun. Elisa is a

Jennifer Takagi:

confidence coach. Tell us a little bit about yourself and

Jennifer Takagi:

your definition of success. Like what can we do to have more

Jennifer Takagi:

success in our lives?

Elise Boogaerts:

Oh, good one. So yeah, I'm Elisa Bogart and

Elise Boogaerts:

founder of inspiration via Lisa and I work with professionals to

Elise Boogaerts:

help them confidently put themselves first so that they

Elise Boogaerts:

can achieve their goals and make their next like, big bold moves

Elise Boogaerts:

in their lives. And, yeah, I've made some really big bold moves

Elise Boogaerts:

in my life. And I really want to, like, help people with that.

Elise Boogaerts:

And I think it all starts with having a bit of confidence to

Elise Boogaerts:

make that move. Because we think about doing making any type of

Elise Boogaerts:

changes in life, there's so many ups and downs, right? There's so

Elise Boogaerts:

many like setbacks, and so many things that can happen. And so

Elise Boogaerts:

being confident can really help navigate all of that. And also

Elise Boogaerts:

just being confident in yourself and knowing what you want, and

Elise Boogaerts:

really being clear on that. And you know, who you are, what your

Elise Boogaerts:

values are, and just being super solid in yourself to be like,

Elise Boogaerts:

yes, like, this is what I'm wanting, this is what I'm going

Elise Boogaerts:

to do. And I'm not going to let anyone or anyone stop me,

Elise Boogaerts:

including myself, because we tend to get a lot.

Jennifer Takagi:

So I have a couple of little things that I

Jennifer Takagi:

talk about from time to time on building confidence. What are

Jennifer Takagi:

some of your things like, I have a couple of big things coming

Jennifer Takagi:

up, and I feel kind of okay about that, what can I do to

Jennifer Takagi:

feel more confident about it? And ready to go?

Elise Boogaerts:

Yeah. I really like to bring in mindfulness

Elise Boogaerts:

into like, a lot of what I do. So something you can do, and

Elise Boogaerts:

something I just love doing is affirmation. So if there's

Elise Boogaerts:

something that kind of, like you're concerned about, or maybe

Elise Boogaerts:

like something that you say to yourself, you know, how can you

Elise Boogaerts:

flip it to something that's more kind and more positive and more

Elise Boogaerts:

loving towards yourself, and it needs to be something that's

Elise Boogaerts:

believable, you know, so you don't want to like, make up

Elise Boogaerts:

some, like, huge grand thing that maybe you don't actually

Elise Boogaerts:

buy into, but it can just be like a small shift. So like, you

Elise Boogaerts:

know, sometimes especially like, if it's something new that

Elise Boogaerts:

you're doing, and you're just like, oh, like I don't really

Elise Boogaerts:

know what I'm doing. And like for me something What am I like

Elise Boogaerts:

narratives that I've had a lot of my life was that I'm too

Elise Boogaerts:

stupid. Like, I can't get this right, I can't do this, you

Elise Boogaerts:

know, maybe I'll just give up. And we I could flip that as

Elise Boogaerts:

knowing that I know that I'm not stupid. I know that I am

Elise Boogaerts:

intelligent, right? So I can say it to myself. Like I'm a strong,

Elise Boogaerts:

intelligent, capable woman and actually believe that and that's

Elise Boogaerts:

what really bumped up my confidence to continue to

Elise Boogaerts:

continue doing what you want to do and like help to motivate

Elise Boogaerts:

you. So that that's one of my my favorite things to do to help

Elise Boogaerts:

boost confidence. When you're especially Yeah, if it's

Elise Boogaerts:

something new or anything where you just like

Jennifer Takagi:

well, I Okay, so two things that came up for

Jennifer Takagi:

me when you said that so number one, I often talk about those

Jennifer Takagi:

pesky thoughts. What are those pesky thoughts? We repeat

Jennifer Takagi:

ourselves below kind of on a loop that they keep us down like

Jennifer Takagi:

Oh, I'm stupid, I can't learn this. Well, you're not stupid,

Jennifer Takagi:

you can learn anything. But the question is, do you really want

Jennifer Takagi:

to or need to or can you just hire it out? Like right like

Jennifer Takagi:

those are right yeah. Other thing is on affirmations which I

Jennifer Takagi:

love affirmations turn the pesky thoughts into positive thoughts

Jennifer Takagi:

and you know, repeat them and you can start in graining that

Jennifer Takagi:

into your whole self. I was talking to a coach one time she

Jennifer Takagi:

started out a friend and she became a coach. So we're coach

Jennifer Takagi:

friends. And I said I wanted to accomplish XYZ. And her first

Jennifer Takagi:

response was no, that's not big enough, you should go bigger.

Jennifer Takagi:

And I don't know how many times she said that to me. I'm gonna

Jennifer Takagi:

say a lot. And finally, one day I said what is wrong? And I

Jennifer Takagi:

would like you to answer this if if it's in your you know, your

Jennifer Takagi:

your your tool bag, but I said What's wrong with me achieving

Jennifer Takagi:

this lesser goal and building my confidence and then I can 10x

Jennifer Takagi:

it. But when it's never happened, I'm having a hard time

Jennifer Takagi:

going from zero to 10x So do you have any thoughts on that, that

Jennifer Takagi:

you can make me feel better about it?

Elise Boogaerts:

Well, first of all, I want to applaud you for

Elise Boogaerts:

that, because I feel like you set a clear boundary, which I

Elise Boogaerts:

think is also something as part of like it because I created

Elise Boogaerts:

this thing called the confidence method. It's like my whole

Elise Boogaerts:

signature system. And mindfulness is part of one part

Elise Boogaerts:

of that, but also boundaries as part of it as well. And I think

Elise Boogaerts:

that you did that well, because it's true, because sometimes

Elise Boogaerts:

people can do that either negatively either they try to

Elise Boogaerts:

stop you in some way where she she had positive intentions and

Elise Boogaerts:

was trying to boost you up at the same time telling you that

Elise Boogaerts:

you were doing it wrong raises, like, you're not doing it in her

Elise Boogaerts:

right way or, and so it's really good to set a set a boundary

Elise Boogaerts:

without I think he's totally right. And I think that we all

Elise Boogaerts:

have our own way of doing things and have our own goals. And all

Elise Boogaerts:

of that is perfectly fine. And of course, it's good to push the

Elise Boogaerts:

boundaries a little bit, but because with you, you did have

Elise Boogaerts:

something that you were trying to achieve. And then you could

Elise Boogaerts:

build from that. And I think that there's absolutely nothing

Elise Boogaerts:

wrong with that. I think that's perfect. Because some people

Elise Boogaerts:

they do want to do this huge thing. And that's great. But

Elise Boogaerts:

some of us are fine with this first. So what would maybe be

Elise Boogaerts:

their first chapter was actually maybe like our further along

Elise Boogaerts:

chapter. And I think that's totally fine. Because you

Elise Boogaerts:

sometimes like success can be defined in so many different

Elise Boogaerts:

ways. And for me, success is like every single step of the

Elise Boogaerts:

way. Everything that you do every little small step again,

Elise Boogaerts:

which really celebrate all of our achievements and all the

Elise Boogaerts:

little steps and all little positive things that we do. And

Elise Boogaerts:

so you know, for you even getting to that thing, that

Elise Boogaerts:

first goal, huge success and that should definitely be

Elise Boogaerts:

celebrated. And then you can say okay, now what?

Jennifer Takagi:

What's next? I haven't special project years

Jennifer Takagi:

ago when I was still with the federal government and they

Jennifer Takagi:

called me in to do this thing and I didn't know that like,

Jennifer Takagi:

like, I was kind of going to be alone in a silo doing this. I

Jennifer Takagi:

was given a team but they didn't know how to do it either. So

Jennifer Takagi:

here we were, you know blind leading the blind kind of

Jennifer Takagi:

scenario. But every single time that I was able to accomplish

Jennifer Takagi:

something and get it through I literally would run up and down

Jennifer Takagi:

the hall screaming victory victory. I declare victory. Pop

Jennifer Takagi:

their heads out of offices, and they're like God, who is that

Jennifer Takagi:

woman from Oklahoma? What is she yelling about now? Because

Jennifer Takagi:

they're all quiet and stuff. I'm not quiet. But I later found out

Jennifer Takagi:

Dr. John Kotter and his whole change management, you know,

Jennifer Takagi:

work, one of his key things is you have to celebrate every

Jennifer Takagi:

victory to keep keep the momentum going. And you're

Jennifer Takagi:

right. We often we often don't take time to celebrate those

Jennifer Takagi:

little things because little things become big things.

Elise Boogaerts:

And I love her some haven't Brek Shea who

Elise Boogaerts:

started it, but they talked about ringing this bell, every

Elise Boogaerts:

time you do something, ring the bell, celebrate. And we can even

Elise Boogaerts:

do it as well with little things like, like we were just saying

Elise Boogaerts:

about with the affirmations, right? So if you notice, if you

Elise Boogaerts:

catch yourself like, Oh, I'm telling myself, I'm stupid

Elise Boogaerts:

again. I'm gonna speak to myself better, you can celebrate that

Elise Boogaerts:

too. You'd be like, Yeah, I noticed. I noticed that I did

Elise Boogaerts:

that. And now I'm going to be kind of myself. Because the more

Elise Boogaerts:

you actually do that you reinforce doing the positive

Elise Boogaerts:

thing. And the less time you spend telling yourself the

Elise Boogaerts:

negative things, the more time you spend on the positive

Elise Boogaerts:

things, right? The more time you spend on the positive, the less

Elise Boogaerts:

you'll be spending on the negative. So you're going to be

Elise Boogaerts:

naturally thinking more positively about yourself and

Elise Boogaerts:

celebrating all the little bits. Yeah,

Jennifer Takagi:

yeah. So, so important. I love that because

Jennifer Takagi:

we have three main points already going in this talk of

Jennifer Takagi:

mindfulness with the affirmations, set clear

Jennifer Takagi:

boundaries, and then celebrate because I like to celebrate

Jennifer Takagi:

every single win. Like even if I make a green light, like I'm a

Jennifer Takagi:

little bit in a hurry, and the light stays green for me. almost

Jennifer Takagi:

time for a party. Yeah. All right. So there's another big

Jennifer Takagi:

key to your business in addition to the confidence and I love

Jennifer Takagi:

your your ideas on confidence, but it's also strategy. And much

Jennifer Takagi:

of our audience consists of entrepreneurs and also leaders.

Jennifer Takagi:

So how does strategy come into play with success and reaching

Jennifer Takagi:

our goals?

Elise Boogaerts:

Um, yeah, I think it's good to have

Elise Boogaerts:

strategies and systems in place to help you achieve everything

Elise Boogaerts:

you really want to like have a focus on something and a plan in

Elise Boogaerts:

which to get there and like how you plan on accomplishing your

Elise Boogaerts:

things. I also worked in corporate before becoming a full

Elise Boogaerts:

time coach, and I was a project manager for 13 of that 23 year

Elise Boogaerts:

career. And so I'm like a super organized planter person. So you

Elise Boogaerts:

can take that. So I've been able to do that like to undertake

Elise Boogaerts:

these like strategies, because strategy can kind of be a find a

Elise Boogaerts:

bit bigger, higher level picture. And then like, how do

Elise Boogaerts:

you kind of like break that down and actually, like execute on

Elise Boogaerts:

it. And so that's kind of like my specialty is that sort of

Elise Boogaerts:

like the planning and executing of it. And one of my favorite

Elise Boogaerts:

ways to kind of stay organized, because yeah, just being super

Elise Boogaerts:

organized planner person is to create systems for all of those

Elise Boogaerts:

things every time you want to, like do something, create a

Elise Boogaerts:

little mini system for us, that just becomes habitual, really.

Elise Boogaerts:

And so like, I'm trying to think of an example, like a super

Elise Boogaerts:

simple one, so it just was even with like, you can do this in

Elise Boogaerts:

anything, but with your life, like, you know, you come home

Elise Boogaerts:

and you can like, have your coat rack, and you always put your

Elise Boogaerts:

keys in the same spot in your person the same in your jacket.

Elise Boogaerts:

So everything's there, when you leave, like that's a little mini

Elise Boogaerts:

system. Another one could be, especially if you have like a

Elise Boogaerts:

goal. So it's kind of a good idea to set a system around that

Elise Boogaerts:

goal, like for some people say, maybe it's like to lose weight.

Elise Boogaerts:

So if you're gonna go to the gym in the mornings, you know, your

Elise Boogaerts:

system could be he get everything out the night before,

Elise Boogaerts:

and you have your clothes there, and you have your snack that

Elise Boogaerts:

you're gonna eat before and your water bottles filled up, you

Elise Boogaerts:

know, that's your systems. As soon as you get up, it's all

Elise Boogaerts:

ready to go. Or with networking, like for entrepreneurs, I mean,

Elise Boogaerts:

I don't know how many networking events we go to, or these three

Elise Boogaerts:

day events where you meet so many people. And everybody

Elise Boogaerts:

always says, the important thing is with the follow up, you got

Elise Boogaerts:

to follow up afterwards. And so what is your system? With the

Elise Boogaerts:

follow up? You know, could you dedicate a time of your week

Elise Boogaerts:

where you do all of your follow up for any networking activities

Elise Boogaerts:

that you had the previous week or that day or what have you,

Elise Boogaerts:

and then actually schedule it in and put it in your calendar and

Elise Boogaerts:

be like, This is my hour of follow up. And I'm going to be

Elise Boogaerts:

emailing up people and be like, hey, it was awesome meeting you,

Elise Boogaerts:

like, Let's book a call or book calls yourself. That can be like

Elise Boogaerts:

a little mini system, because I don't know how, like, I've

Elise Boogaerts:

fallen into that trap for sure. I've even JV X actually, where

Elise Boogaerts:

we met in person A month ago, there's still some people that I

Elise Boogaerts:

haven't followed up with. Because I haven't didn't fully

Elise Boogaerts:

get that system in place yet. Or hadn't until then. And I know a

Elise Boogaerts:

coach of mine. She wanted to write a book. And so her system

Elise Boogaerts:

was, uh, she really, really wanted it. And so it was like,

Elise Boogaerts:

Okay, well, every morning, I'm getting up an hour earlier. And

Elise Boogaerts:

I'm writing x number of words each day. And that's what she

Elise Boogaerts:

did. And even when the alarm went off at 5am, she wasn't used

Elise Boogaerts:

to getting up that early. She actually had an affirmation on

Elise Boogaerts:

her phone, it said there was a question that said, How bad do

Elise Boogaerts:

you want it? And so she'd be lying in bed. Looking at her

Elise Boogaerts:

phone, it was like, How bad do you want it? Like, I want this

Elise Boogaerts:

book bad. So okay, that's my motivation. I'm getting up. And

Elise Boogaerts:

I'm writing my xmm words. And this is my dedicated time for

Elise Boogaerts:

writing the book because and then eventually the book was

Elise Boogaerts:

written right over a series of months or whatever it happened,

Elise Boogaerts:

as opposed to being like, oh, yeah, I'll get to at some point.

Elise Boogaerts:

So that was for system. So create many systems and do it

Elise Boogaerts:

for everything. Well,

Jennifer Takagi:

I love that you're saying many systems, I

Jennifer Takagi:

was just I'm in Brendon Burchard Ultra mastermind group and we

Jennifer Takagi:

meet in LA once a month. And at one of the speakers was talking

Jennifer Takagi:

about get one habit completely under control. So you no longer

Jennifer Takagi:

have to waste any time energy or thought about doing it just like

Jennifer Takagi:

you said, your your coat, your keys, your purse or briefcase,

Jennifer Takagi:

whatever, all in one spot, you're ready to go. And I think

Jennifer Takagi:

that can be so true. Because we do so many things habitually. I

Jennifer Takagi:

remember, I'm a little bit older than you. And back in the day,

Jennifer Takagi:

seatbelts were not required. They were in the car, but you

Jennifer Takagi:

didn't have to wear them. And I got a new car and the law had

Jennifer Takagi:

been passed, but it was not being enforced yet. And so like

Jennifer Takagi:

they did it in stages, they pass the law, then they would only

Jennifer Takagi:

ticket you if they pulled you over for another violation. And

Jennifer Takagi:

then several years later, it was like if they see you without a

Jennifer Takagi:

seatbelt, bam, they're pulling you over and ticketing you. So I

Jennifer Takagi:

got a new car. And as soon as I got that car, my new rule was I

Jennifer Takagi:

had to put my seatbelt on before I put it in reverse. Like I

Jennifer Takagi:

could not put it in gear without seatbelt on. And my dad and I

Jennifer Takagi:

rode together to work. Anybody out there who has an opportunity

Jennifer Takagi:

who loves your dad, like let's put that first but you have an

Jennifer Takagi:

opportunity as an adult, a young adult in your 20s to ride to

Jennifer Takagi:

work with your dad every day. It's amazing the things you

Jennifer Takagi:

learn at a different level being an adult interacting that

Jennifer Takagi:

frequently so much fun. But he was One day he told my mom

Jennifer Takagi:

because I think there's something wrong with Jennifer's

Jennifer Takagi:

new car. It can't go in reverse unless I have my seatbelt on.

Jennifer Takagi:

Yeah, yeah, it can't go into reverse. Let's all the seatbelts

Jennifer Takagi:

are on. But now, like, I would never get in a car and not put

Jennifer Takagi:

my seatbelt on. Like, that's not even a an energy drain. thought

Jennifer Takagi:

process. So, I love that it's really great many processes, I

Jennifer Takagi:

really hadn't considered many systems for so many things that

Jennifer Takagi:

we do, man now I'd have to put that on my list. I'm gonna have

Jennifer Takagi:

to consider that my friend

Elise Boogaerts:

and then make you so much more efficient to I

Elise Boogaerts:

find, like, for example, like the the keys situation by the

Elise Boogaerts:

door, like, How many times have you not known where your keys

Elise Boogaerts:

are? And you're running around like a chicken with a cut off? I

Elise Boogaerts:

was trying to find your keys which pocket what was like

Elise Boogaerts:

wearing last time? Like is that in the laundry basket? Like

Elise Boogaerts:

they're in the fridge or something? You know, like, and

Elise Boogaerts:

then you wait, and now you're late. And now you're rushed? And

Elise Boogaerts:

then you're stressed? And then you know, so like, if they're

Elise Boogaerts:

always there? You know, my

Jennifer Takagi:

husband happened? Like, have you met

Jennifer Takagi:

him? Have you got the card? I had my arms folded i I said what

Jennifer Takagi:

do you do and he was like, I'm so pick up your keys, which is

Jennifer Takagi:

very odd. But we had had my car detailed and so he had brought

Jennifer Takagi:

the keys in because they live in my purse, right? I push button

Jennifer Takagi:

start car so I don't pull my keys out very often. And we're

Jennifer Takagi:

standing there and I was like, why don't think you have like

Jennifer Takagi:

keys because I think I've gotten back in my purse. Because no,

Jennifer Takagi:

this is not right. He goes to get some light turned on because

Jennifer Takagi:

it was dark. And sure enough, he had his keys he just was holding

Jennifer Takagi:

the fob wrong. So it was not he had my keys. Why? Because none

Jennifer Takagi:

of them are in the right place. So Oh my God. Many systems, many

Jennifer Takagi:

processes. So what you have one thing to share? Like what would

Jennifer Takagi:

be the one thing that you would say that led the most to your

Jennifer Takagi:

success? Was it something like the education piece, the

Jennifer Takagi:

confidence piece, that networking piece? Like? Where

Jennifer Takagi:

Where do you think your personal path to success started from or

Jennifer Takagi:

was most impacted by

Elise Boogaerts:

think it was my confidence in my own ability.

Elise Boogaerts:

Because if you look at the word confidence, if you break it down

Elise Boogaerts:

the word like confide means to trust or actually means to trust

Elise Boogaerts:

in yourself. So sometimes we think that confidence kind of

Elise Boogaerts:

kind of be this outward thing or people like Oh, their confidence

Elise Boogaerts:

all about like, maybe the ego or is it about like bravado or

Elise Boogaerts:

something like that. But the really is to trust within

Elise Boogaerts:

yourself is really an internal thing. And especially during my

Elise Boogaerts:

corporate career, like I had a strong work ethic. And I decided

Elise Boogaerts:

to leave it all. When I was 2324 and go backpacking, I wanted to

Elise Boogaerts:

go traveling, and then I moved to Europe. And I just moved

Elise Boogaerts:

there. I had a European passport. So I knew I didn't

Elise Boogaerts:

need a visa and I was like unbiblical, what are you going

Elise Boogaerts:

to do? And I was like, I don't know, I was gonna find a job and

Elise Boogaerts:

a place to live. And I just kind of showed up and I figured it

Elise Boogaerts:

out. Because I was confident I was like, I can get a job. You

Elise Boogaerts:

know, I knew I could get and then I was just working. I was

Elise Boogaerts:

just sort of I called an office job. It was just sort of like

Elise Boogaerts:

whatever kind of entry level position and I was like, well,

Elise Boogaerts:

I'll just get a job. And then, and then even with that was

Elise Boogaerts:

working, it was like I would just kind of get promotions and

Elise Boogaerts:

I would get other jobs. And I think it was it because I wasn't

Elise Boogaerts:

chasing after it. It was just sort of like happening because I

Elise Boogaerts:

was confident in my ability. And then same thing happened when I

Elise Boogaerts:

relocated within Europe, I moved to London. And again, it was

Elise Boogaerts:

like well, I just showed up with my backpack, even backpacking

Elise Boogaerts:

for seven months. And actually, that was a bit of like a tough

Elise Boogaerts:

situation because I, I kind of spent too much money with

Elise Boogaerts:

backpack and didn't save enough or keep enough to the end, those

Elise Boogaerts:

bit broke. My boyfriend and I had broken apps, I was

Elise Boogaerts:

heartbroken. I didn't have anywhere to live where I didn't

Elise Boogaerts:

have a job yet. I didn't really know anybody, right. So I'm like

Elise Boogaerts:

homeless, I'm broke, I'm heartbroken. Like, and but

Elise Boogaerts:

still, then I knew that I would get a job, I knew that I would

Elise Boogaerts:

be able to figure it out. I had the confidence in myself to do

Elise Boogaerts:

it. And then again, when I moved back to Canada, that same kind

Elise Boogaerts:

of thing, and through that, that's always just kind of

Elise Boogaerts:

raised me and then I remember when I came to Canada and I was

Elise Boogaerts:

doing project management and my my manager was like, why are you

Elise Boogaerts:

at this level? You're definitely more of like a senior level

Elise Boogaerts:

project manager and I was like, I am like, okay, so like the

Elise Boogaerts:

next job. That's what that's the role I got. And then I was able

Elise Boogaerts:

to get more money like well, we pay this I'm like, can I get

Elise Boogaerts:

that? And they're like, Yeah, and so somehow I ended up

Elise Boogaerts:

getting up to this, you know, level and making the salary that

Elise Boogaerts:

I thought was never possible. and it just kind of when I think

Elise Boogaerts:

about it, I feel like it just kind of happened. And obviously

Elise Boogaerts:

I earned it. Obviously, I did the hard work, but I also always

Elise Boogaerts:

just had the confidence in myself in my abilities that I

Elise Boogaerts:

could do it. And that's kind of what led me like when I decided

Elise Boogaerts:

to do the coaching and focus on people who would say that to me,

Elise Boogaerts:

like, oh, well, you're confident or you're so brave, or you did

Elise Boogaerts:

these things, you made these big bold move, like, how did you do
