As an entrepreneur, solopreneur, or small business owner, you're always doing these two things at once (until you hit about $200K): 1). Admin and nurturing your current folks 2). Getting visible and gathering new leads You have to be doing both things at once, all the time (unless you've made a specific choice to forego the second while taking some time to work exclusively on the first). Decide, b...

There are so many of us who feel consistently "behind". And what I'd like to suggest today is practicing the gift of presence. What if we can be where we are AND not make that mean anything (about us or our businesses)? It's possible to let ourselves off the hook a little bit, live in the present moment, and trust that we are right where we're supposed to be right now . If any of this resonates, l...

This is a topic I've been coaching a lot on recently so I also wanted to share it with you here. We are always in the business of getting our next client. No business can do things in a way that gets them off the hook for marketing. But you can do it by engaging with what you already love, noticing where you lean in, and making a relational connection . Be "all in" for the stuff you're "all in" on...

For coaches making 0-5K/month , this is for you... This can be the hardest stage in business because you are learning so much and so many challenges pop up at the beginning that you don't ever have to deal with again. If you're not at consistent 5K months yet, there's so much in the online space that's not FOR YOU at this stage in your business. This is THE group to calm down and grow your busines...

In this week's episode, I share my thoughts on why and how change is good - particularly related to the coaching industry . Things are different. The market has changed. People aren't buying as they used to anymore. And I think that's great! We've had to grow ourselves up and allow people to truly decide what's best for them now , instead of using scammy bro marketing tactics that hijack nervous s...

Let's talk about business quarters, particularly Quarter 4. This is a time when a lot of business owners celebrate or beat themselves up - I'd encourage you to do the former. The end of a quarter is a great time to check in and ask yourself 3 powerful questions about how you want to show up for yourself (no matter what's true). Every company does development - you should too. How can you make this...

I know exactly what it feels like to be really good at what you do and not have enough people to do it with. Having my daughter, Liv (9 years ago), changed everything for me. My coaching business went from being more of a fun hobby on the side to my main gig (and a multiple six-figure business) because it had to. In the years since I've hit some pretty fun milestones, but one of the things I&#...

Today, I'm sharing client wins from the How To Get More Clients Intensive. One person went from, "I'm so frustrated with this not working because I'm so good at what I do!" to >>> making an immediate sale and a sustained 100% conversion rate (because she walked away knowing what and how to sell). Another person got super clear on their niche. If you're a great co...

Put the shitty first draft out there. E...

In this episode, we discuss how to grow your business your way. You have already made a lot of investments in your business and it may feel like you've signed up for, learned, and done all the things. You're probably right!
