Chill & Prosper with Denise Duffield-Thomas

I've got a question for you: Are you investing in the right areas of your business? Are you wondering where to invest your hard-earned money? It's a common question, and the answer isn't always straightforward. But don't worry, I've got you covered! In today’s episode, I'm sharing my insights on smart business investments that can propel your growth. 

Raising your prices can feel like a daunting task, especially when you're worried about losing clients.    But what if I told you it's not just about the numbers?    It's about understanding your worth, communicating effectively, and aligning your energy with your new pricing. It's about clearing any blocks that are making money feel hard.    I get if it feels like a strange time to be considering...

Are you feeling the pressure to slash your prices right now?    I get it. When sales are slow, it's tempting to wave that discount wand.    But here's the thing: there are so many ways to boost your business without devaluing your amazing offerings.    If you're only discounting from a place of panic - STOP.   Discounting can be tricky - mostly because it trains your audience to wait until you hav...

Time to check in - where are you at with your business right now?    Let’s take an honest look and identify a few tweaks and improvements you can make before the end of the year. 

One of the most common challenges I can help you with is pricing - your money around charging and receiving for your work.    We get so many questions about pricing, so this month, I'm diving deep into the topic.  To kick us off, I've got a jam-packed Ask Me Anything episode on the pod talking all things pricing.

This bonus episode is the audio from a call that I had this week with Jeff Walker and some amazing members of our community. We talked honestly about launching, imposter syndrome and why it’s so important to get started. As Jeff said, the best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is today. This was such an in-depth call, Jeff is incredibly nice so it’s totally worth watc...

Ohhh this is one of my favorite topics and something I’m going DEEP with right now!   Let's talk about how and why DECLUTTERING can help you manifest.    You'll love this if you're just getting started and you're new to developing your manifesting muscle.   And if you're a manifesting veteran who may be feeling a little skeptical, let's get back to basics and reconnect with the magic of possibilit...

Not everyone aspires to a big million-dollar launch or can even see that as a possibility. And it’s totally okay if that’s not your goal.    But the reason I love talking so much about launching is to show you that these big launches are possible.    A normal person like you or me CAN achieve a 7-figure launch.    It’s not common and not easy, but it’s possible.    And if you’re like me, that will...

Not everyone is a good coach. Just because you admire someone or their business, doesn’t mean they’re the right coach for you.   I’ve definitely been burned by this - Sometimes it’s hard to find a coach who aligns with your needs and stage of life and business.   There are so many types of coaches, so today let’s check in with exactly what you need and how to find what you’re looking for. 

Let’s roll up our sleeves and talk about how to finally get your course done.   I get so frustrated and annoyed by people who are procrastinating on launching their online course, not because it’s easy, but because it’s something you have to just get it done.    It doesn’t have to be perfect and I promise it will be worth it.    So listen to today’s podcast episode for my tips and wisdom on gettin...

What are you really selling?   When people are looking at their budgets or feeling a little more stretched, you need to be crystal clear on what you’re offering and how you can help.   If you’re in a service based business like a VA, designer or photographer you might be seeing clients say “I’ll just do it myself” or delaying purchases.   So, when times are a little tougher, get clear on the real...

Ok, let’s check in - How are you going with your money boundaries?   If you’re like me, you may need to regularly check where you’ve got good, bad, or ugly boundaries to find areas that need tightening up.   Uncovering these areas of your life and business where there has been boundary creep often reveals some underlying money lessons that you can work on.    In today’s podcast, I’ve got a checkli...

Ooohh! Such a juicy one for you today - Other people's money blocks.     As you go through your money journey, you may have started to work on your money mindset and money blocks, but other people's money stuff could be derailing you.    Most of your money blocks revolve around made-up stories and old beliefs about what you can be, do, and have.   You also have stories about how your income affect...

Today's podcast episode is about what to say when you have nothing to say.    I know a lot of people in this space right now.    For whatever reason, whether it be the aftermath of the pandemic, the economy, or the state of global politics, it can be hard to know what to say or whether to say anything at all.    We're living in a time when it's never been easier to start and grow an online busines...

Today’s podcast episode is for you if you run, or are interested in running, live events.   We’re talking retreats, masterminds, and conferences - all the things involved in hosting your own in-person events.   There are so many things I want to share on this - both mistakes I’ve made and that I’ve seen others making, so let’s dive straight in: 

I am a CHAMPION procrastinator. Honestly, if there was a Procrastination Olympics I’d win gold.    So today’s podcast topic is close to my heart - we’re talking about my secrets and hacks to overcome procrastination.

If you're fairly new to following me, you may not know that my first book was called "Lucky B*tch," and in fact, a lot of people knew me as the "Lucky B**." 😆   When I started my coaching business, I taught manifesting and the Law of Attraction.    But what made me different was my Virgo personality and my focus on the practical action steps that make a difference when manifesting money or a big...

Today, we’re talking about worthiness - feeling worthy of earning more or deserving of success. I honestly believe this is the crux of what most people need to learn to enjoy more breakthroughs in life and business. You can learn all the business and marketing strategies you want, but unless you’ve done the mindset work to love and accept yourself, you’ll always feel unworthy and sabotage yourself...

So you know the story of the tortoise and hare?  They challenge each other to a race, and the tortoise plods along, slow and steady, and the hare rushes, runs, and gets distracted. Ultimately the tortoise wins.  Well, today, we’re discussing how this “slow and steady wins the race” idea applies to your business.  This is important because if you’re one of those methodical people who like to take i...

Have you ever said this… 🥰 “I don’t care about the money; I just want to help people” or 🤗 “People over profits,” or even 👩‍❤️‍👩  “It’s not possible to both make a lot of money and help people.” I’ve heard this from a lot of people. I get it - of course, people are more important than profits, and we should all care about our clients, but business isn’t a zero-sum game, and we can’t use this a...
