My Freedom Grove Podcast

You've done it––you've networked. You have a whole list of new connections and contacts. You have so many ideas, possibilities, and potential collaborations in mind. It's so exciting, but also somewhat overwhelming.  So now what? How do you follow up with all these new connections?  Let's approach the follow up process in a systematic way that helps you handle the overwhelm, remember why you conne...

For some of us, our people skills got a little rusty during the last 3 years. So networking can strike a little fear in us. Especially in-person networking. Networking and conversation has so many benefits to your business, so it's time to dust off our [ahem] real clothes, get dressed, and go talk to people! Jillene Emerich, Leader of the Coaching Posse is here to talk all about networking and all...

Are you at a time in your life or business where you are not moving forward? Are you possibly stopping yourself from going forward because of the fear of failure (or even the fear of success)?  These thoughts have nestled their way into all our minds at one point or another–– What if it doesn't work? What if it goes bad? What will "they" think? If this resonates with you, then I'm here to help you...

How can you have your business running 24/7––without actually working 24/7? Automation is the answer!  Automations and AI can help you streamline your business to run smoothly while you reclaim your time for yourself or for the bigger, more creative things you want to do to scale your business.  Jesse Parker is the creator of Life Coach Operations and an automation architect. Jesse is here to shar...

One of my business mottos is We Rise Together––which means that when you find that great collaboration with another business, everyone wins. Collaboration is one (of the many) benefits to being an entrepreneur versus an employee.  Not all workplaces promote a sense of working together––not all places are Lollipop Land (my nickname for a GREAT place I worked). As a business owner, you can find coll...

You feel it. That yucky muck that's slowing down your business. At times you wish you could just scrap your whole team or your customers and start over. Have a fresh start where everything just works. Everyone gets along and does what they're supposed to do. You're swirling in Drama.  Drama in your business or personal life has a big impact on you and your mental health. It also impacts your Busin...

Online courses within your business is a way to give your clients access to you 24/7. Today's topic is the impact an online course can have on your business, and how to increase your revenue with online courses.  There is a good chance you've purchased an online course within your own business journey. How did you learn of courses you might have purchased? Did you complete the course? Did your cou...

Are you feeling overwhelmed with your workload in your business? Are you working extended hours to get everything done? Are you ready to enjoy your life and your business?  It might be time to streamline your business.  Streamlining your business can help you. We are taking a look at your sales funnels and product fulfillment end-to-end process today. First we look at the four big steps of the sal...

If you're overwhelmed or working beyond your normal business hours, this episode is for you.  It's time to streamline your business! Did you know there is a whole business sector focused on helping reduce waste out of a business?  Yep.  It's called LEAN.  I happen to be an experienced, certified LEAN Six Sigma Business Coach.  Big corporations don't have to be the only businesses to get "LEAN love...

Your Intimate Life may create obstacles for your professional life.  And conversely, your professional life may create obstacles for your intimate life.  They're intertwined. Intimate challenges also have an impact on your Mental Health and wellbeing.  Unfortunately, women worldwide will just push through and try to deal with things on their own because they don't know who to turn to for support....

Who do you turn to for healing support?  A human?  Well, yeah. I know that's a weird question.  Of course you turn to a human, right?  Wait a minute.  What about comfort animals?  Maybe my question isn't so strange afterall. We know pets offer comfort, campanionship and unconditional love (most of the time anyway).  But, what about actual healing?  Can they help with that? Horses can.  They have a...

Change... love it or hate it, it's inevitable.  Change is a natural part of life and business. Even when you voluntarily sign up for change, you may experience resistance, unpleasant emotions, and significant delays to getting to your new happy "after". Not only are you facing your own change journey, your change causes a domino effect for others.  Their reaction, or your fear of their reaction, m...

Have you ever been triggered by your own success?  Yes, this is a real thing.  Often time we assume we're triggered because something went wrong.  What if everything went right and you were still triggered?  Welcome to humanity, my friend.  This is your human experience, or rather, your human experiment.  You get to decide what you want to adjust along the way.  The first step is to embrace all yo...

If you wanted to follow somebody's rules, you would have stayed an employee, right?  But you're an Entrepreneur.  You have full Creative Freedom. Are you allowing yourself to do Business Your Way?  Or are you slipping into emotional turmoil trying the Guru's system that doesn't work for you. My friend, your Mental Health is more important than anything.  Trying to force yourself to follow another...

Does your website represent the quality of your coaching?  If you're like many entreprenuers, you're relatively new to designing and building a website.  It's intimidating.  What's it supposed to look like?  What's it supposed to say?  Will it work?  Like me, you may DIY your website.  You experiment with different platforms.  You google how to make a website.  You look at other websites for examp...

How can you solve 2 problems with 1 solution?  Create a two sided business model.  It's a win -win for everybody. My guest, Molly Rose Speed, did just that.  And her solution may be a perfect fit for you! If you are an aspiring entrepreneur or an existing entreprenuer that is ready for a different path, consider being a Virtual Assistant.  Did you know you can earn a 6 figure income being a work f...

What if I told you how to Quadruple Your Business in 6 Weeks, would you do it?  This will be a great experiment, won't it? I know it's possible, because I did it myself in the early days of my business.  When it seemed impossible.  I know many of you want bigger, faster results than you have right now.  So, I'm happy to share. It started when I took a class from my coach on how to Double Your Busi...

The #1 thing entrepreneurs tell me they want is Confidence.  It's not money.  It's confidence.  Afterall, it takes confidence to get out there and make money. How can you have confidence with things you've never done before?  Or things that make you really uncomfortable?  Simple, manifest the confidence. I know, it doesn't seem simple.  That's because many people misunderstand the term manifest to...

What got you here, won't get you there.  Year after year, your business will evolve.  It builds upon itself.  Both in products/services and in self concept. Sure, you can sit back and let it unfold and reveal itself to you.  That can work, but you might not be ready when something important is revealed.  This can cause nervous system overload and/or holding back from moving forward.  You don't wan...

Every living thing evolves.  Afterall, science tells us its "Survival of the Fittest." You can survive in any circumstance.  You already know how to do it, even if your inner critic is doubting your ability to make sustainable income with your business right now. But what if you want to do more than just survive?  What if you would really love to THRIVE? My friend, all it takes is a desire and a d...

Break the drama and self sabotage in your business by focusing on the Process, Not the Person.   Let me clarify something first.  When we design our products/services and processes initially we are 100% focused on the person.  We are paying attention to their pain points, desires and requirements for a solution. When we shift to HOW we do our operations, including building and delivering our servi...

We all know that Unique Products/Services are the most successful.  Nobody wants a cookie cutter approach.  Why?  Because it often won't work for them. You may have heard other coaches, healers or educators express in frustration..."the client has to do the work to get the results". Let's take a moment to reflect on our experiences being the client.  Did you ever get frustrated with yourself for n...

Business burnout is real, my friends.  In fact, many burntout employees turn to Entrepreneurship to escape business burnout. Once you are actively starting or running your business, the old familiar feeling of burnout may tap on your shoulder.  It starts to dawn on you that burnout can happen in any business situation, not just as an employee.  You already know, if you don't take care of your Ment...

I know, marketing is typically not your favorite part of being an entrepreneur.  It's hard to put yourself out there.  Plus, the amount of time, effort and sometimes money is overwhelming. All of it feels worth it if it's working.  Wait, what does "working" mean? Does it just mean sales?  That's what your intent is, right?  But what if you don't have sales yet.  Does that mean that none of your ma...

Believe it or not, people want to hear what you have to say.  Although your inner critic may be saying "I'm not an expert", "they're tuning me out", "I need to stay humble", or "this isn't helpful", it doesn't mean any of it is true. In fact, if you listen closely to that inner critic you may recognize it is actually a voice from the past.  Somebody else offered you a limiting belief.  THEIR limit...
