Show Notes
One of the many reasons we start our businesses is to get the freedom we want to build a life and a lifestyle that brings us joy. Yet, building that foundation can be a challenge and we often come face to face with our own emotional crap.
In this episode, Alison Donaghey talks about her journey and the type of thinking that can hold female entrepreneurs back.
A single mom at 20, Alison eventually went from collecting welfare to running a thriving house painting business.
It took the 2008 recession for Alison to recognize that she had some holes to fill in her business and business-building knowledge.
The recession led her to recognize how critical thinking is key to every situation and she realized she had something other than painting to offer people and business owners.
She recognized her ability to look at a situation differently and anticipate potential outcomes was the seed that became Domino Thinking.
Allison is the author of the international best-selling book, Think opposite – using the domino effect to change your business and change the world".
Today, Alison speaks to entrepreneurs, small business owners and coaches about the power of critical thinking.
She's also the host of Domino Thinking. The show is designed to get listeners to think about a different perspective, to suspend their beliefs, and consider the opposite view point.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
