ONE Question: Unapologetic Questions for Unapologetic Results

Are you telling yourself you need to get another certification, more experience, or have to pay your dues before you're ready - or allowed - to do the damn thing and make money on your terms? Feel you have to hold off on making business moves or wait until you gain more skills before you can have the success you want? I find so many entrepreneurs hold themselves back and limit their ability to gro...

Have you ever noticed how much you try to avoid challenges in business? Your brain likes to assume a little struggle means you're doing something wrong, and you should stop or quit before you fail completely. So, you fight against this through perfectionism, avoidance, or actively looking for ways up, over, and around the hard stuff to sidestep something going off-plan.  But what if fighting those...

Let's get honest with each other - do you really allow yourself to go all-out with what you want?  Maybe you're the type who plays big when it comes to the things you want and going out to get them - and if you are, all the power to you! But our society doesn't really teach many demographics to think this is "okay" to do.  And as a result, you aim small in business…and you also shrink and receive...

PSA: Sales objections are SO normal.  I mean, think about it: you're asking a human to make a big decision that often requires financial resources, taking a big step, and making a commitment outside of their comfort zone. If you're like many of my clients, navigating those objections, and the sales process, in general, can feel confusing, personal, and bring up insecurities. So, how do you move pa...

Have you ever felt like your business success is a fluke?  You know, that feeling when you reach a whole new level in business (or life) you've never experienced before and feel like a fish out of water and a bit of a fraud. Like someone is going to "catch you" and figure out that you don't actually belong or know what you're doing.   Well, I can tell you right now, this is SUCH a prevalent feelin...

Business and life sure can throw some curveballs. And, as much as we control freaks hate to admit it, there are certain situations we can't control. In this episode, I sit down with my coach, Lacey Sites (who's asked me all the tough questions I've needed to hear over the past 4.5 years!), for a conversation about what you CAN control, taking your power back, and how you can show up in ways that s...

Let's be real: It's easy to fill your work days with to-do lists and time-block your calendar with all the things the online space told you would make your business successful.  But when you're not getting back the clients, income, and impact to show for the time you put in… it's time to reevaluate.  As much as I'm all about mindset and manifesting, last I checked, you can't just wait, hope, and w...

Was your marketing strategy created with the clients you want to attract in mind…or is there a chance it's actually a reaction or defense mechanism from a bad experience in business? It's easy to forget what you focus on expands. So, if you're trying to control challenges in your business, those problems are only going to feel and become bigger the more you look at them - and that can bleed into y...

When was the last time you took a big, scary leap in your business? If there's one enemy to growth - business or otherwise - it's complacency. Sure, there are times to integrate, time to sustain, rest, and where you put your foot on the gas more than others, but that's much different than no longer stretching outside of your comfort zone.  To continue to grow personally and scale your business inc...

Ever wondered why it seems like every time you reach a new milestone in business, something tries to get in your way?  Maybe you get sick, you get hit with an unexpected invoice, or you pick a fight with your partner - these are all just some examples of classic self-sabotage that I've seen (and experienced myself) amongst entrepreneurs when success starts rolling in.  This kind of 'upper limiting...

We talk a lot about making more money but not so much about what comes after that income hits your bank account.  It's nice to have those big cash months and more clients lined up than you know what to do with, but generating wealth - and the freedom that comes with it -  is about more than working your money mindset muscles only for the sake of making more.  Because it's not just about the money...

Let's be real: It's really hard to show up for your business, build your client list, manage a team, make money, and leave the kind of impact you want when your mental health is suffering. We're all here to build businesses on our terms, after all, and I don't know about you, but poor mental health and lack of self-care are not on my list of terms! Even though mental health may not be something yo...

I do things differently than what you typically see in the coaching industry. So, this week, instead of unpacking a question for you to take and apply to your business, I'm answering ONE Question YOU'VE frequently asked me that's going to help you determine if you're building, growing, and scaling a business in a way that works for you. In this episode, I share an inside look at the way I structur...

Wouldn't it be nice if you could avoid any hiccups on your entrepreneurial journey? Unfortunately, business success doesn't happen that way. The good news? Those bumps along the road can also become your biggest opportunities to evolve and grow if you allow them to be. My guest, Soulful Business + Leadership Coach Emily Cassel, is all about making this journey regenerative rather than depleting or...

The frustrating about business and making money on repeat: You can do all the "right" things and have the "best" strategy, but if your thoughts aren't serving you, it's going to feel like trudging through mud to take the simple action you need to make said things and strategy work for you to bring in clients and cash. It's why 100 people can take the same course, learn the same information, and ge...

I'm guessing you started your business for reasons outside of work and much as for reasons that have to do with making money doing what you love. You want to travel, spend time with family, and enjoy your personal life WHILE running a successful business doing work that lights you up. Am I right? What happens so often in our space is choosing the entrepreneurial journey for the freedom it will giv...

Imagine what you could get done and create in business with endless amounts of time and energy. That would be THE dream, right?! But since that's not reality (at least in this world!), there comes a point in business where you simply can't pour any more hours or effort in than you already are or begin to get diminishing returns from all the doing. With new ideas, projects, content writing, schedul...

In a loud and crowded online business world, your message is one of the first things that attract your people to you and is an essential ingredient that goes into converting clients.  While it's tempting to want to play it safe, the last thing you want to do is censor yourself with "safe" messaging and words. But, this also goes past words alone  - crafting messaging that can be heard above the no...

Are you actively looking for ways to expand in your business…or always worrying about what you don't have, where the next client is, and how to make just enough money to make up for what you spend? I'm not just talking about your relationship with money - this has to do with CEO-level thinking and adopting the mindset of a successful business owner.  Because focusing your thoughts on scarcity, per...

When you set a resolution or goal, you tend to go all-in, balls to the wall, and barrel your way toward the finish line with all the enthusiasm in the world…only to find yourself ready to call it quits a few weeks later.  What gives?!  For many, social conditioning has led you to believe the big banner events and massive, self-sacrificing actions are the keys to success in your business.  But I'm...

You're supposed to be and showcase that you're the expert in business, right?! You're supposed to be the one with the answers… Except, ever notice how easy it is for that pressure to cause the mind to latch onto black and white thinking, the absolutes you've been exposed to so far in your journey as an entrepreneur?  The truth is, as exalted as expertise is, it can also keep you stagnant.  You can...

Did you know one of my favorite words, that has everything to do with your inevitable success in business, is grit?  When you hear the word grit, you might think of someone who's edgy and pushes, but the kind of grit I'm talking about is that steadfast passion and perseverance for a long-term goal. Because when you have an unwavering dedication to your big picture vision, the action steps necessar...

Here's a sales truth: we humans tend to buy for emotional reasons, and then fill those decisions in with logic.  With that in mind, I wonder what would happen with your sales numbers if you focused less on trying to create the "perfect" marketing or sales funnel, and more on emotional connection and behaviors? In our final episode of 2021, we're taking a look inward at a new way of personalizing y...

Raise your hand if you've ever stalked someone else's sales page to figure out how much you should be charging…? No shame in this game - most entrepreneurs have been there and understandably so when you're wanting to understand the market. But, while this might be well-meant, this can lead you right into comparisonitis, decision fatigue, and second-guessing yourself on the rates that feel in align...

Do you find yourself continually not following through on the things you say you want in your business?  Do you tell yourself you're going to do this or that, only to find yourself pushing it onto tomorrow's to-do list repeatedly? Are you telling yourself if you just had someone holding you accountable, then you'd be able to show up live, send the sales email, post the vulnerable content...finally...
