Simple Online Business: Business Strategy for Moms

Have you ever thought about gauging fear vs. intuition? The two can most certainly get convoluted. How do you know if the “fearful” feeling you get is an intuitive sign that you might not want to do something or if it's simply the discomfort of the unknown? Sometimes business can be scary, or hard. But when we preach the narrative that it has to be, I think it sets a lot of us up for more fai...

Recently my client Shannon Brome-Ward opened up to our mastermind with her thoughts about visibly making money as a Black woman, and how scary and unsafe that is.  I’ve been thinking about her words ever since, and it’s a perspective I wanted to bring to you as well… because this is a topic I cannot speak to - but I think you need to hear. On today’s empowering episode I’ve brought on Money Mindse...

I’ve got some news for you… you’re not a robot.  And what this means, is that sometimes you and your brain won’t be perfect.  I know… this reality kind of sucks. But I want to give you permission to be ok with it.  Here’s the deal: you actually don’t have to be perfect to be really successful with your business.  Without even knowing, we all carry negative judgements and beliefs about ourselves in...

Hustling isn’t always exhausting… at first. Hustling can feel like following excitement and inspiration and fun. Until you find yourself exhausted.  The term “hustle” is ever so popular in this day and age. The more we hear about hustle in business, the more it’s deemed acceptable. Most entrepreneurs have the mentality that if you aren’t “hustling”, then you aren’t being productive.  Well, scratch...

Is your audience small? In the world of million+ a year revenue businesses, I have an extremely small audience, currently around 5000 people.  I want you to know this:  The size of your audience   does not determine how much money you make.  Obviously as your audience grows, you’ll make more money - however, if you convert your audience that you already have, you’ll move mountains.  Focus on nurtu...

I have helped hundreds of women make money. And the biggest hurdle I see standing in the way every time? All or nothing thinking.  There are so many ways all or nothing thinking can creep into your business.  Here’s an example… you have a plan for how you’re going to spend your time, and when real life sinks in, you drop the plan. And then you think… planning just doesn’t work for me.  When in rea...

In Mama to CEO, your first goal is making 5k. You aim to do it in a month - but if you don’t do it in 30 days, you keep going. However long it takes to make that first 5k, you keep going.  And then you get to work to do it again, better. Simpler, calmer, faster.  You become the master at making 5k. You hit consistent 5k months.  On today’s episode of Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m int...

One of the most common questions I hear from many of you is how to handle situations where your friends or family don't support your business and don't understand it.  A lot of you are curious how to navigate those investment questions with your partners and how to handle the idea of your family needing to sacrifice, as well as become impacted for you to pursue your dream. This week, I i...

The majority of us grew up believing that making money is hard, and that hard work is how we make more money.  I want to throw that belief in the trash. The truth is that making money is very simple. It’s not always easy (especially when we are just learning to do it!) but it can be.  I personally have had a lot of resistance to having things be easy. And this experience of ease can be very unsett...

I get questions all the time about how to determine the right price for your offer.  And the bottom line is that there is no one right way to do it. There is not one correct formula for pricing that you should follow.  Pricing depends on a lot of factors - which is why it feels complicated and confusing.  On this week’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m breaking down how I...

This is the one year anniversary of me officially hitting one million dollars in 12 months in my business. I started my business in January of 2017. I hit 100k in 12 months in August of 2019.  A little over 2 and a half years to get to 100k. And I hit 1M in 12 months in February of 2021.  I went from 100k years to 1M years in a year and a half.  That is crazy. There are a few reasons why 1M went s...

Have you ever thought “I should be over this by now,” “I already got coached on this,” or “I already know all this mindset stuff?” These negative thoughts don’t serve you. But they also don’t just go away once you see them for what they are. All the coaching and personal development in the world does not magically erase these types of thoughts.  You can free yourself from your judgment and your st...

This week on the podcast my COO Brenna joins me to dig into all the juicy details and behind the scenes info of what it’s like of running a million dollar business. For some of you that don’t know, Brenna and I are sisters. We are very lucky that we are able to work well together and can be so free in our conversations. But I...

Recently, I saw a meme talking about how you have to sacrifice everything to be successful.  My opinion… that idea is trash. This way of thinking hurts people - especially moms who hear it and then think they have to wait or give up on their dreams until their kids are older.  It’s my mission to expose you to as many examples of caregivers making tons of money, so that you can see that no matter w...

“Success” is not just about your business revenue. And it’s also not even simply about the impact you have in the world.  My definition of scaling your business is “making more money, impacting more people, and working less time.” The working less time part is the part that is the most important for moms.  So many people build businesses that make a lot of money, but they sacrifice things - rest,...

One of the things I’m most known for in the online business space is launching. Not just any type of launching - calm launching. In a culture where launching is seen as exhausting, draining, hustley, dramatic, stressful… My launches are simple, calm, low drama, and successful.  Last month, I completed my 5th six/multi-six figure launch in the past two years. As soon as I hit my goal in that launch...

The revenue you make in your business is not the only thing that matters. And it actually is not a great indicator of the overall health or sustainability of your business.  How you measure the overall health and sustainability of your business is in the margins.  Meaning… what does it cost you to make that revenue? And how much is left over? (And I’m not just talking about money.) From your profi...

There’s you.  There’s your business revenue goal. And then there are the obstacles in the way. Everyone will encounter obstacles when working towards their goals. However, the thing that will set you apart from others is how you deal with them.  On today’s podcast episode, I’m talking about how to uncover these obstacles so that you can work through them, as well as showing you how these obstacles...

This year, I’ve chatted with a bunch of my super successful clients and many of them mentioned one question I asked them as being the pivotal moment for them in shifting into seeing themselves as a CEO who can make money.  The question: “How much do you want to make?” This can feel like a weird question for a lot of you. Before I got into business coaching, no one was talking about money. It’s an...

So many of you tell me that you struggle with consistency. I think a lot of you have an idea of how I do things and you think it is the right or correct way.   That way won't work for you. The things that work for me are the things that I found by being willing to do it the wrong way, by being willing to do things differently than many other people do them.  YOU get to decide what consistency...

I don’t know about you, but this time of year, I get into a very reflective mood.  I love to think about what I’ve created in the past year, and my overall journey - as well as looking forward to what is ahead. December has always felt very magical to me, and it gets me so full of gratitude for the past, and excitement and possibility about the future.  This year, I gathered groups of past Design...
