Unapologetic

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...

This one is by request and I also love that it was requested because I think it's really important to talk about. 

I'm sure at some point or another you've heard of objection handling - whether you've been told 'how to do it...', been on a call or in the DMs with someone who 'handled your objection', or maybe you've heard the stories... 

There's a MASSIVE difference between talking to...

If you are a parent and run a business, I feel like we hear often how amazing it is that we have the flexible schedule, can pick up and drop off our kids at school, have time for the appointments and don't have to ask anyone for time off to take them... 

All this is true. 

BUT - it's also hard. 

And many times, this is the conversation people don't want to hear or have openly. Because it sounds like you're ungratef...

Imagine running your business with ADHD, kids, kids that also have ADHD, and a partner that has ADHD... 

Maybe you can imagine it - because you could be in the same place we are. 

I'm joined today by my friend Em to talk all about it!

How our neurodivergent brains require different systems than the typical, meant for neurotypical brains that you often come across online (and in life - let's be real), the real side of what it...

I have my friend Christy with me on the podcast today and we are discussing Autism, RFK, and the incredibly misinformed and dehumanizing rhetoric and statements that are being spread in the media currently, as well as some other really horrifying things that are happening...

This is so important to make sure the RIGHT message gets out. 

Autism DOES NOT destroy families. 

Autistic people are NOT damaged. 

So much of what is happening ri...

There's one question that I get the most from clients and it's definitely not what you would expect. 

It's nothing to do with strategy or systems or sales...

It has to do with all the conditioning that has been ingrained in many of us.

You'd think that having your own business where you get to call the shots and 'do what you want' would be easy - yet it's one of the things I find that has many people...

Today is all about data! It's something I'm obsessed with looking at and using to make better decisions for both myself in business and my clients. 

Just like funnels, data can be as simple or complicated as you make it. 

I'm going to go through some average data rates, which I think will give a lot of perspective when you look at your data, and things you can look at for content, landing pages, emails, and the one thi...
