"Hustle is not the problem, it's how you're hustling."

In this engaging interview, host Megan dives deep into the transformative journey and insights of Jenni Rae Oates, an expert in guiding high performers through the intricacies of entrepreneurship.

Jenni Rae shares her personal evolution, highlighting how her professional identity shifted significantly after experiencing profound personal loss. She introduces the concept of the "Rise Factor," a framework that she developed to help individuals rebound from setbacks and thrive amid challenges. This transformative journey started for her after the tragic loss of her son, an event that served as a pivotal marker moment in her life. Such experiences forged a deep resilience within her, ultimately influencing her approach to both life and business. The "Rise Factor" embodies principles that encourage individuals to rise not just once but repeatedly, focusing on continuous growth and adaptation.

The conversation pivots to the misconceptions surrounding entrepreneurship, where many believe that attaining success equates to a permanent state of achievement. Megan and Jenni Rae reflect on the harsh reality of the entrepreneurial roller coaster, emphasizing the need for resilience and persistence during challenging times. Jenni Rae explains her "Rise Continuum," detailing five key moves—clarify, connect, communicate, commit, and convert—that individuals should practice continuously to remain successful. Through these steps, she argues that high achievers can navigate through downturns by reconnecting with their purpose and aspirations, rather than being anchored to a past version of themselves.

As the discussion unfolds, Jenni Rae addresses the psychological hurdles that many high-performing women face in business, especially the fear of not maintaining past successes. Women often grapple with feelings of embarrassment or inadequacy when transitioning through different phases of their careers. She suggests that this can stem from an established narrative that ties self-worth directly to past accomplishments, which can ultimately hinder growth and willingness to embrace new challenges. She urges everyone to embrace the basics of business, recognizing that returning to foundational principles is often essential for long-term success.
