Recently a friend of mine noticed that a competitor bought one of her digital products - it got us talking about the idea of “funnel hacking” - where you sign up for a competitor’s marketing/sales funnel to see how they do things, copy it, and in theory, avoid the learning curve.   Lots of coaches and business experts online recommend this technique. I don’t. And I actually have strong opinions ab...

As an adult, I struggled to create meaningful friendships. I got married and had kids very young, unlike any of my friends from high school or college. And then I moved across the country where I didn’t know anyone. I felt lonely for most of my 20s, while at home with babies and toddlers. Friendships looked so easy for everyone else, and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me.   The first li...

Sometimes, when we start a business, we don’t question if it will work out the way that we want it to. The niche we pick, the offer that we prefer, the kind of business that seems better… we have an expectation that it should just work. But sometimes, it doesn’t. And the entitlement to it working actually makes it way harder for us to make money.   I call this Niche Entitlement, and on today’s epi...

What is the number #1 time waster I see in the world of online business? Productivity. Since the Industrial Revolution, our society has insisted that we must work long and hard to be valuable as humans. It is deeply ingrained in all of us that our worth in this world is tied to how much we produce. So, we overstuff our calendars, because deep down we believe that staying busy makes us valuable as...

Every week, women reach out to me asking if they think someone like them (without various financial advantages) can be successful in business. There’s a narrative that to build a business you have to have a rich husband, a big investor, or some other kind of kickstart to get your business going. I’m here to tell you that you don’t need any of that. You can be a stay at home mom who lives paycheck...

When I first started my online business, I built a website, created an Instagram profile, and developed courses. I did everything I thought I was supposed to do to get paying clients, and it didn’t work. It ended up taking me a whole 10 months to get my first purchase: one 30 minute coaching session for $40. It was a long 10 months, and I had a lot of recalibrating to do before getting that first...

This episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m having a conversation with mastermind student Yesenia Faiella.   Yesenia is a mother of 2, and the Mama behind Mama of Both Worlds. She took a leap of faith almost 6 years ago and quit her 9 to 5 job as an attorney in order to build her own law firm, which she did quite successfully - growing it to a six-figure practice. When she real...

There’s you - and there’s the money you want to make.   What stands in between, is thoughts you have.   Sometimes, it’s just one thought that makes all the difference. On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I am interviewing my student, sleep consultant Jessica Berk, about the one thought that changed it all for her.   We’ll discuss how this one thought more than doubled...

School broke our brains. At least… it did if we want to build successful businesses as entrepreneurs.   It taught us this: DO NOT FAIL. And then when we go to start a business… we are confused trying to figure out the equation for getting an A. Or at the very least, how to avoid failure. Many of my clients come to me looking to avoid failure. But the success plan for business IS failing. Everythin...

Our whole lives, we’ve been told that TIME = MONEY. That giving 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week (or more!) to a company is how we earn money.   If you follow that logic, as moms, we will always earn less. Because we have less time to give to a company - because we are giving it to our kids.   I believe this is the reason many of us mom entrepreneurs underearn. We will never be able to out-hustle th...

As humans, we underestimate the impact of ONE thing when it comes to hitting our goals. We think that we need to do LOTS of things to reach the goals that we want to achieve in our businesses. But the truth is… it might just be one thing that stands between you and your goal.   For my client, Jessica Klasnick, just one thing made the difference for her to reach her goal of a $10k month. On today’s...

As I’ve worked on my money beliefs in the last 4 years of my business, I’ve realized that making more money actually means I am helping more women build their dream lives and businesses. It is THE thing that motivates me to continue to grow my business. And yet, when I hit a million-dollar milestone in my business last month, I was afraid to share it. I thought it would come across as braggy, that...

Functional Nutritionist, Christine MacCarroll, joins me on today’s episode to talk about how our cycles impact our energy, our lives, and our businesses - and how to work with our cycle instead of fighting against it.

As business owners, we have to make decisions daily. And our decisions are extremely important - everything we create in our business is determined by the choices we make. It’s easy to get caught up in the idea that we have to make logical, safe choices, even when the alternative lights us up. After all, we have businesses to run AND households to manage. It feels like our families, employees, and...

We know that overworking ourselves is bad for our health. But many business owners still fall into the hustle trap, especially those who are just getting their businesses off the ground.   And as moms, we do NOT want to sacrifice additional time with our families (or time for ourselves!) in order to grow our businesses. Our time is precious, and those who swear by hustling your way to success just...

Many of us have created our businesses from the hardships we’ve personally overcome. We are called to use the lessons we’ve learned and skills we’ve developed in this process to help others improve their relationships, businesses, and overall lives.   But life is full of ups and downs. We will inevitably struggle again, even within our own specialization. Does this make us an imposter in our busin...

In today’s world, there are unlimited opportunities for online marketing. Facebook groups, social posts, podcasts, emails, livestreams… the list goes on and on.

In fact, it’s better i...

The beginning of a new year typically inspires a lot of excitement and hope for the future. It’s known as a time for resolutions, vision boards, business planning, and fresh starts. But if you didn’t hit your goals for 2020, it can also be a time of disappointment. You might be feeling so discouraged, you’re hesitant to set any goals for 2021. You may even be making past attempts at hitting your g...
