Unapologetic

Today's episode is the pep talk/chat we all need sometimes about something that very commonly comes up in a lot of my talks with clients and friends - comparison. 

Opening up social media and being bombarded with a bunch of people who are also doing the 'same thing' as you (in the same industry) or just also run online businesses and the immediate thoughts of - sh*t. Look at what I'm missing. I'm not doing &...

On today's episode I have with me Jo and we are diving into all things branding! This is such a great conversation because too often branding is thought of as just 'how you look online' aka your logo, colours, making sure those things match and are cohesive across your platforms. 

But it's truly so much more. 

The right personal branding allows you to stand out from the crowd, resonate with your ideal clients, whi...

This is literally one of the reasons I created The Safer List. 

Because people are skeptical and want to know who they're buying from. 

Not only have they been burned by shitty coaches or programs, values and knowing where you stand with what's happening in the world is HUGE. 

It's not just about distrust in the coaching industry. 

It's much more multifaceted than that. 

In today's episode, I'm going over a...

On today's episode, I have Lilian joining me to chat about the power of storytelling in business! I know, we've all heard how important it is to tell your story, and I think you'll enjoy the perspective that Lilian brings as someone who has years of experience in PR. She shares her insights on how you can stand out from the crowd and leverage your unique story (emphasis on unique!) to build trust and credibility with...

After an amazing summer break I'm back and I've got such a good episode for you today! 

I knew I was taking this time off, but when I actually slowed down - I didn't realize how tired and burnt out I really was. Not really from business, from a number of things, but it still goes to show just how important it truly is that we do take time for ourselves. 

As business owners, this can be SO hard. We start our businesses ...

It's not 'business as usual'. Things are f*cked. I'm really honest and I don't sugar coat it. 

BUT - your business isn't on hold. And your goals shouldn't be either. There isn't a better time or 'let's wait this out' until things settle... 

And also - it is hard to hold both. 

I'm sharing today what has really helped me because I've found it really hard to not be distrac...

Last week I talked about the platforms part of systems to scale, today I want to get into more of the workflows to save you time, as well as leads and sales systems that are going to help you more directly make the money in your business. 

I'm giving lots of tangible examples and ways you can think about creating workflows and systems in your business to help support you and run your business efficiently as you scale! 

I'd ...

No one loves this one. But it's literally one of the BIG things that make scaling your business more effective, gives you more time (even right now), and allows you to have a business that's sustainable long term.

We don't love hearing these things because it's not 'fancy', it's not an overnight solution to making a ton of money, and sometimes it makes you second guess why the F you star...

This is a two part Spilling the Coffee episode all about 'Systems to Scale'. Often, people think about systems and immediately think it means platforms but that is only part of the equation. 

I like to think of it as the internal support for you and your business, kind of like the infrastructure. The things that make your business run more smoothly, and allow you to get everything done more effectively and efficiently.

My friend Michelle Vande Hey joins me today to share how she became a life coach and trauma sensitive yoga facilitator, and most importantly, someone who is deeply passionate about creating a safe space for others, especially given her story.

Michelle was a guest speaker and shared her story on the 'WHEN stories' series (also linked below!!) which is all about - 'when everything changed'. For her, this was first ...

Do I believe 'money mindset' is a real thing or is it all BS??

I'm breaking it down in the episode today!

Like many things in the online space, the conversation around 'money mindset' can be very shame-y and blame-y for all the wrong reasons... One of the BIGGEST being - we can't boil down success in business to be dependent on ONE thing. 

AKA - clear your money blocks and suddenly ''all is well...

I'm starting with a question today - Are you chasing what you think you 'should' be doing in business, what a business (apparently) 'should' look like, what you maybe feel pressured to do... 

Or building and working towards what YOU really want - regardless of what that looks like. 

You have the power to choose whatever you want your business to look like and to build and scale to whatever your desired bigger...

This isn't really about - do this online or say this, I mean I get into some of what I see resonating for myself and my clients because it actually relates to the bigger conversation and thoughts I have around social media right now. (And just in general)

It's mainly the pressure. 

The expectations. 

The whole 'I have to do this' or sound this way or I won't be successful. Or that you have to filter what you R...

I absolutely LOVE this conversation that Ana and I had especially given the state of the world. We are both no-BS, all real talk and real business which is exactly what women need right now. 

Ana shares her story of transitioning (or more so, just building alongside) her military career, multiple businesses from brick and mortar to online. 

We discuss how now, more than ever, it is the time to take control of your future and your fin...

We all want things to be "easier" in business and to be able to free up more time, right?? And you can ABSOLUTELY do that with automations (and the right systems)... 

BUT, is there a point when you've automated too much?

Or - if you're over doing all the tasks you're having to do every day, where do you even start??

What's really the BEST way to go about setting up automations for your business?? 

I'm...

Why do so many people hate on Facebook and email? Well, we don't know. And today, Tracy and I are talking about not only the importance of growing your email list and giving some tips that will help you with the 'But I don't know what to write in my emails' thoughts that always pop up. (Because you do, you're just making it WAY harder on yourself than it needs to be, trust us 😉) 

We're also discussing ...

I'm sure this doesn't come as a surprise but for today's coffee spill is breaking down the BS. 

There is some WILD shit out there. 

And there IS something I can guarantee you about it - it is NOT the magic bullet to build or grow your business. 

No one has the secret or code for anything. 

There's nothing magical about any of this that's going to make this massive difference in your business that somehow is goi...

The shift happened in January. I don't know how you wouldn't have felt it if you're online... 'Trolls' used to be (for the most part) someone who didn't like what you posted, said, was having a bad day, and decided instead of continuing to scroll past they'd leave their 'thoughts'. It still wasn't nice by any means but what we're seeing now isn't even trolling. 

It almost f...

Today's episode is another review of a platform I love - ThriveCart! 

If you are still using Stripe or Paypal links, e-transfer or Venmo to get payment... and chasing invoices every month - this is definitely an episode you don't want to miss! 

Not only does ThriveCart provide checkouts and sales pages to get your payments straightened out and streamlined, it offers a ton of really great integrations to make it easier to co...
