This episode is a 2 for 1! I’m interviewing Brooke Jefferson on how to share more boldly in your business as a Christian business owner AND picked her brain on starting a podcast (she has two shows - with one of them almost at half a million views!)   In this episode, we talk about: Why we should infuse our faith in our business instead of keeping them separate How we can invite God into our busin...

Have you ever wanted to start a podcast? I believe that podcasting can be a powerful way to grow your business AND it can be enjoyable too. However, in my experience, too many podcasters struggle to achieve their business growth goals because they lack effective marketing strategies and systems. But I believe with the right podcast systems in place, it CAN be done well. And that’s what I’m here to...

In today’s episode, I share 3 very awkward client asks (that you WILL be asked as a designer) and how to respond to them. These are ones that people truly don't talk about enough, but you've probably wondered about. I'm sharing my own experience of course, but I’m also sharing advice and scripts on how to respond to these situations. If this feels helpful to you, I cover this extens...

This is a bit of a unique episode, because it's actually a masterclass I taught for Showit Designers inside of Showit's new Designer Hub! I did the video training version of this class last week, and I asked Showit's team "Hey! Do you mind if I share this with my podcast community too?" and they said "Heck yes!" So, here we are… with you getting to learn from thi...

This short little (not regularly scheduled episode) comes to you with a huge announcement. An announcement that I am so thrilled to share that I had to just make a random episode about it! I am creating my next online course, and DUH DUH… as the title says it’s for PODCASTERS. Whether you’ve been at the podcasting thing a while or you are a brand new podcaster who wants to start a show but you don...

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to just work ONE day per week? And run a successful 6-figure business? Courtney Lazar (our go to systems expert in episode 226 - make sure to listen to that one if you haven’t yet!), is back on the podcast but this time she’s coming to us as a mom to a toddler with another baby boy on the way, sharing exactly how she built her business as an agency mode...

Hey everyone! So, as you can tell from the title, I'm super excited to announce that I'm pregnant with baby number two. I have so much to share with you all! While I am sharing the 4 things I’m doing differently with baby #2 below, this is one conversation you’ll want to grab your earbuds for!  I’m sharing: How we found out (and how I shared the news with Adam) The timeline we are lookin...

If you're a new business owner or still in the season where you prefer to call what you do a side hustle, freelance work, or a hobby, this is for you. I’m sharing 5 strategies to help you step into a CEO role, even if that term feels silly to you now. It's okay to feel new and uncertain but to grow your business, you need to act like a business owner. That means letting go of the freelan...

In this episode, we're diving into the topic of working with a team and the importance of effective communication - especially when things are not going well! If the thought of growing, managing, and leading a team sounds overwhelming to you, let me just say this: I had the vision of being a solopreneur when I first started out, but over time, I came to realize that having a team is a game-ch...

I switched my business workspace manager to ClickUp last fall, and it was a big decision. A lot went into the switch, but ultimately, it was the best thing for my business.  In today's episode, we dive into the world of business productivity and systems with special guest Courtney Lazar, the CEO and founder of SystemsUp. Courtney shares her expertise in systems solutions, helping six and seve...

Amanda helps her clients and students simplify their marketing efforts, allowing them to find the time to market their businesses without being overwhelmed. I was thrilled to have her on the podcast today!  In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of...

In the previous episode, I shared the mistakes I made during the creation and launch of my membership (and explained why I eventually chose to shut it down!). While I briefly touched on it before, I wanted to go deeper in this episode to explain why I don’t regret the experience AT ALL. In today's podcast, I’m sharing the eight lessons I learned throughout the whole experience and how it’s im...

In the online space, we often talk about the good without the bad, right? When we hear about memberships, they are often praised as recurring and consistent revenue and when we think about memberships failing, it’s often because we didn’t “sell” enough. These things were NOT necessarily the case for me, and while I could have “fixed” the mistakes I made, I ultimately decided to close my 170 person...

I've been eagerly anticipating this episode's release. If you're a fellow Breakthrough Brand podcast enthusiast, you'll already know how much I adore Showit. As a long-time user and design partner, I even dream in its interface! I can't help but gush about it. However, I understand that website platforms, including Showit, can sometimes feel overwhelming. That's why I...

We're already halfway through 2023, and today, I want to share what I've been doing this year to grow my website traffic.

If you’ve been in the online space for a while, you may have heard of “doing Profit First”, which is based on the popular book Profit First by Mike Michalowicz. It’s a way of taking your profit first (literally) instead of looking at your profit as “what’s left over” after all of your expenses have been paid.     When I started using this accounting method in December, I knew I had to share it wit...

Whether you are like me and work with a small team of contractors, or you are looking to hire your first contractor, this episode is for you! And hey - even if you don’t have a team yet, we are talking about difficult conversations and setting boundaries with clients, too, so this episode absolutely still applies.   Today, I’ve brought Jillian Dolberry onto the podcast because she is a PRO at team...

I’ve been a guest on MANY podcasts at this point over the last 7 years of owning my business. I still remember being absolutely terrified before my first interview. I came prepared with about 4 pages of outlined notes and had literally rehearsed answers to the questions I knew I’d be asked! Not kidding! Who can relate?   Now, YEARS later, I can go on a show and feel confident in my answers with ve...
