The Kim Doyal Show

Kyle Van Deusen joined me on the podcast again (it's been a long while) and we went deep into Facebook groups, newsletters, and email marketing. Kyle is the founder of OGAL Web Design, The Admin Bar Facebook group, and the new WordPress plugin, Docket WP.

Inspiration can come from so many places if you keep your mind open. I can remember back to being a little kid and making plans with my friends. You had big ideas and big dreams… you didn’t let the “outrageousness” of the dream hinder you from making the plans, right? This cracks me up as I think about it… in the 4th grade, one of my best friends and I talked about how we were going to be rock sta...

Bridget Willard joined me on the podcast to talk about her brand new WordPress plugin, Launch with Words. We also discussed her books, social media, and marketing in general.

Creating your own niche IS possible… If you’ve been in the online space for any length of time, at some point or another you’ve heard/read/been told that you need to niche down. As someone who hasn’t ever really done this, I’ve been a little giddy to see a couple of articles popping up lately that go against that age-old advice. I’m going to start by saying you don’t necessarily need to be a gener...

The best path to long term success online is taking an audience-first approach to everything you do. Focus on who you serve and why. In this episode, you'll get: Optimize your website Get picky Boring works Ask questions Create a solid foundation for your business by focusing on customers, quality, and long term strategy and growth.

In this episode, I'm sharing my own journey to falling in love with email marketing, why I've decided that I'm going to double-down on it in 2021 and how I'm going to do that.

It was fun to look back on my accomplishments for 2020. As challenging of a year as it was, I experienced a lot of growth and I'm grateful.

As we wind down the year and start planning for 2021, I thought it would be helpful to continue the conversation on courage. This is a continuation of episode 59 where I had a conversation with Allegra Sinclair, "It takes courage to be who you are."

If you feel overwhelmed and aren't getting anywhere then it's time to simplify your marketing. OR, if you just want to get more results from what you're doing. Stop trying to do everything at once. Get ONE thing working and perfect it before you jump into new tactics or give up on whatever you just created.

My good friend Allegra Sinclair is back on the podcast this week. After releasing my #FtheHustle newsletter I asked her to join me for a conversation on what it means to trust your gut and do what works for you, even if it means some people don't stick around.

Finishing what you start is so much more than hitting publish or finishing a project. It's about the ongoing activity and effort you continually put towards what you created.

This episode was inspired by a question from a friend (these are some of my favorite questions and make great content). The question was how did I make the transition from being a service provider to being a coach, e-commerce owner, and course creator. Here's how that happened and what I'd recommend.

This interview was a blast. I wanted to talk to Nathan because he's built a successful coaching business using Facebook only. He shared his massive distaste for the word "authentic" (which was hysterical) and what he feels people need most and where things are heading.

How many times a day do you see people making declarations & explanations on social? This need to tell the world everything is crushing your soul. Here's why...

This episode is a continuation of the last episode, "What it means to #JustSHowUP" Are you willing to take complete responsibility for everything in your business? Too many people are looking for the end-all be-all solution with one course, guru or strategy... the challenge is that none of that works if YOU don't do the work. Each of those things are simply one piece of the puzzle.

#JustShowUP is a mantra, phrase, hashtag that I came up with probably 6-7 years ago and outside of using the phrase frequently, I haven't done much with it. Well, GAME ON. I'm in a bit of a 'business reboot' and feel called to #JustShowUP, make that my movement and show up in a whole new way.

Shame has no place in business, yet we shame ourselves all the time. Worrying too much about what other people will think. Time to kick it to the curb.

I have to admit that I thought this was going to be easier than it was. Coming up with 50 lessons didn’t seem that daunting to me, I thought I’d rattle them off in one sitting and get to writing. This was definitely one of those times where the process in and of itself was a gift. Since this is a longer than normal post, let’s jump right into it.

It's been a long year and I'm feeling like I'm finally getting my groove back. I'm going into depth on what is coming for my personal brand, podcast, Content Creators Planner, and the Facebook group.

This episode was inspired by an email I received from a friend. He found himself focusing on the wrong things in his business, took a break from social media, and re-focused. He asked me what I'd do if I were starting my business today. This episode goes deep into where I've been and what I would do today.

Amongst everything going on, now more than ever I believe it's time to #JustShowUP. How you can get through this time, continue creating, and what I'm doing.

It's been whirlwind few months and I've been taking some time to evaluate where things are heading with my business and this show. I'm back from my 'self-imposed' sabbatical, and am excited to share the direction of where things are headed and all that 2020 has to offer.

Cory Miller joins me on the podcast to talk about his journey building and selling iThemes and where his next journey is heading. We talked about mindset, entrepreneurship, and how to move forward when life brings you to your knees.

John Jantsch joined me on the podcast to discuss his new book, The Self-Reliant Entrepreneur. This book is a bit of a detour from his previous books (all based on marketing). One in which he says has been a 20 year journey with the work he's done. His personal lessons and things he learned about himself during the process were invaluable.

The stories we tell ourselves can easily determine whether we succeed or fail. They also dictate our mood and how we approach things. Start telling yourself a better story.
