EP 99: Getting More Done Without Burning Out: The Power of Flow State with Gaby Mengstab
Entrepreneurs often feel pulled in a dozen directions at once—client demands, operations, compliance, team management, and trying to maintain a life outside of work. Yet some people seem able to stay focused, perform consistently at a high level, and get extraordinary results without burning out. How do they do it?
Joining me today to talk about it is Gaby Mengstab who is a performance strategist with over 18 years of experience in financial services, including leadership roles at PIMCO, Allianz, and Perpetual. She’s worked across operations, trading, and business development. But her sweet spot lies at the intersection of sales performance and human potential.
Chris Reynolds, Executive Chair and co-founder of Investment Planning Counsel, is turning the page on what it means to build a better business.
Tune in to conversations with visionaries and financial advisors who have walked the path to success for ideas you can implement today.
Getting More Done Without Burning Out: The Power of Flow State
As an entrepreneur, it can feel like there’s a million things going on at one time that we must deal with. Client calls, paperwork, compliance, working with your staff, living life and being with your family! Yet so many people can really focus and execute at such a high level, accomplishing amazing things with their time. Sometimes it looks like magic!
How are they able to do that without burning out?
My guest today, Gabriella Mengstab, is a performance strategist with over 18 years of experience in financial services, including leadership roles at PIMCO, Allianz, and Perpetual.
