ONE Question: Unapologetic Questions for Unapologetic Results

Do you wish you knew a better way to handle those sticky situations - like sales objections, a refund request, or an unhappy client?  How do some people just stay SO positive and move through business challenges even when they don't have control over the outcome? We're turning the theme of Thanksgiving and gratitude on its head a bit this week with a look at it being thankful from a different lens...

Welcome to our 100th Episode and celebration of ONE Question!  The episodes have flown by; whether this is the first episode you're tuning into, or you've been here since the beginning, thank you for joining me and for listening to a business podcast that's unlike any other.  I celebrate YOU for being willing to show up and ask yourself ONE unapologetic question each week and tapping into your ans...

Does everything in your business feel muddy or like it's way more work than it needs to be in order to bring in sales? Feel like you're getting stuck in the "shoulds" and "supposed to's" in your business (but really don't want to)? Or maybe you feel like you're settling or underearning? This conversation comes up in different ways with clients at every stage of business who are feeling stuck or fa...

Think affirmations don't work for you to help you book clients or make more money? I'd like to help you change your mind on that – after all, affirmations are all about shifting your way of thinking ;). While I don't believe mindset work is *only* about affirmations (sometimes that can do more harm than good) or that business success is as simple as saying a positive mantra (strategy and action ar...

The "gap" phase in business - you know, that time gap from when you have clarity on an idea and strategy, and start taking action on said strategy consistently to when the results start to show up for you - is the hardest, in my opinion, after six-and-a-half years in business and thousands of thousands of coaching calls seeing behind-the-scenes of what creates business success first hand. This is...

I'm all about the mindset that drives results, and I love me some manifesting, but there's a lot of messaging around this in the online space that seems to leave out a key piece of creating epic success:  Action. I want to bring the pendulum back to the center between "do all the things, hustle, and burnout" and "only energy and manifestation work" so that you can have concrete results like $10-50...

Have you thought about how you're expanding your capacity to make room for more revenue?  Because when you're not intentional with capacity, you're impacting your ability to grow and scale – if you can't handle or hold more business, you can't bring in more money, right?  It's time to examine the space you have (or don't have) in your business (and within yourself,) so you can scale your income wi...

What if I told you that all the external results you're craving - like six and seven-figure business success - required you to think and show up like a pro first? So often, I see clients and other business owners operating from an "amateur" mindset, hoping to create "pro" results. You know, that one foot in, one foot out, a semi-committed mindset that's waiting for external validation to prove you...

If you've been around this podcast or my work for a hot second, you know how I feel about mindset work and managing your mind to be able to manage your business and create next-level results (and if you're a new listener, you've arrived at the perfect time!): Your mindset is what drives the practical aspects of your business. Of course, you need clarity, strategy, and action to grow and scale your...

Whether it's business or life in general, it's easy to get stuck on autopilot.  And while it is 100% human and normal for this to happen, it can be one of the most dangerous pitfalls for a CEO with big dreams. I've heard it said by Rich Litvin that coaching helps you to create and arrive at life or business. In this case, that's different than it would be if you were left to live it by default – a...

Let's be real – no one needs to make business harder than it has to be! Yet, our brains love to overcomplicate, overanalyze, and make emergencies out of things that aren't any of the above.  Do you ever second-guess yourself, question your work, or feel anxiety creeping in every time you put your thoughts and offers out into the world?  Or maybe when things are going great with the business, you f...

Want to book more clients, know what to say in your launch sales emails, or land that next PR opportunity?  Wish you knew what to say to connect with your network and the people you serve on a deeper level and win them over (without selling yourself or your values out). No matter how much you know and trust your stuff, sometimes it can be challenging to understand what to speak to so you can both...

Ready to become the CEO who confidently and effectively leads a team…AND grows a more sustainable and successful business because of it? Growing and leading a team is something most of us don't come into business knowing how to do. Even if you have past experience managing people and projects, it's different when it's your own business, and you're paying out of your pocket for support.  When your...

Ready to stop making yourself wrong with every decision, thought, and action you've made as a business owner? I'm going to let you in on a little secret – even though you might think being hard on yourself will help propel you into the kind of action that creates big results, more pressure only turns coal into diamonds, not humans. And, this impacts the way you show up and take up space.  I also b...

Do you ever feel like you're being pulled in ten different directions at once in your business?  Always have a laundry list of things to do each day.  And still, somehow, you don't come any closer to that prolific output (or epic results) you want from your work? Heck, sometimes it feels like you're not even getting anything done. Of course, you want to be the most productive version of yourself e...

If you're having trouble showing up in your marketing, handling sales objections, or knowing what to put in your offers...the sticking point might not be your strategy. It could simply be an alignment issue.  If you feel like you might need a reset and or check-in with what you're putting out into the world through your business, I have ONE question for you – and, your unapologetic answer will als...

How many times have you made a big, exciting (and probably a little bit scary) goal in your business (you know, like launching a new program, selling out a new offer, or reaching that next income mile marker)…only to not see it through and fail by default? Maybe you quit selling in your launch just a few yards from the finish line because your revenue goal felt impossible and out of reach.  Maybe...

Thinking about that next-level business investment (or want to support potential clients around that decision) and feel unclear about your next best step? Or maybe you have another big business decision you're sitting with, like launching that new program or starting a podcast. How do you know when it's time to make a leap and step outside your comfort zone and when it's best to wait? And, how do...

Let's be real: while recessions, inflation, and economic downturns can be very real problems, they're often perpetuated (and sometimes even instigated) by the way society responds to seeing the numbers fluctuate. Unfortunately, the term recession can send a lot of people into a worry spiral and fear of depression and scarcity. And, the news and marketers know this often adds fuel to the worry fire...

Let's be real: most of us have gone through a pivot of some sort in business or life. I mean, who didn't have to navigate a shift during Covid and the last few years?! And yet, while this is likely something every business has in common, this is something you can't always see when looking at someone else's marketing or when you hear their sales numbers. This week's guest marketing powerhouse and f...

Do you - and your business - need a whole new belief system to reach that next-level success? If you want to step into that unstoppable energy that leads to growing and sustainable scalability, you have to whole-heartedly believe that it's possible for you.  But, instead of getting behind your inevitable uplevel, you may find yourself watching past patterns play out in your business, limiting what...

Are you selling the mac & cheese your people are wanting or trying to force-feed the broccoli you know is good for them? Sometimes, it's easy to get so wrapped up in always chasing the next sale or in serving your clients, that you forget to keep tabs on what your audience is really craving and assume, instead, it's what you want for them.  Understanding the difference is a core foundation of your...

Wondering what it *actually* takes to create a scalable business that brings in those big revenue months you're crushing on? Let's talk about the nitty-gritty details. I'm sure you have certain business owners you look up to in the online space and wonder how the heck they create the income they do. They've got to know something you don't if they're making all this money each month and you're not,...

Have you ever felt like you HAD to do something because it's what you've been told will make you money? Or, maybe you were told it's just not possible to make bank doing the work you love.  I talk a lot about creating *your* version of success and getting paid for doing the work you really want to put out into the world.  But in the rush to make money in the noisy online space, it's easy to lose s...

Are you putting up with more than you'd like to admit…and have a suspicion you might be holding yourself back and limiting your capacity for clients, cash, and enjoy the damn ride? Or maybe you're not even aware of all.the.things. you're currently holding, juggling, and balancing? Wondering how you can have a clear "check engine" light on your business dashboard so you can be honest with yourself...
