I see a lot of online business owners consuming a ton of content about how to go viral on Instagram, how to pitch in the DM's, how to get more followers... But more followers and viral posts won't fix your business. Because the real problems holding your business back are: Your refusal to niche down. I know some business owners are preaching the "you don't need a niche" message but from my perspec...

What do you do when you hate Instagram but... you kinda need it to market your online business? Do you push through even though it feels bad for your mental health?

Last week I went and stayed in an off-grid cabin in the woods by myself, then I car camped by the beach. (If you follow me on Insta you might have seen the amazing beach view I woke up to from the back of my car!) It was a really transformative week... in fact, every time I go on a solo trip I seem to come home feeling like a different woman. Feeling like I really integrated big life lessons or un...

30 minutes of marketing was all it took to sell out the first 4 months of my coaching program as soon as I launched it. I spent 15 minutes writing one email to my waitlist. And 15 minutes creating 1 Instagram story and sending a handful of DM's. (NOT cold DM's - please don't ever do that.) So... how did 30 minutes result in 4 MONTHS of clients? With 75% of them choosing to pay in full and not need...

We've talked a lot about marketing lately. So I felt it was important to pause and talk about something equally as important.  I see a lot of online service providers making this one mistake: Putting ALL their time and energy into marketing or honing their service, and neglecting to put any effort into their client process. To you, organizing your client process may seem boring or non-essential. B...

In episode 087 we discussed when it's the right time to hire a business mentor or coach. So now we should probably discuss how to find the right business coach for YOU! For me, there are about five things I look for when deciding if a business coach is for me: The results the coach has gotten for themself and their clients/students.  The experience they have with the thing I am struggling with or...

I've owned my business for 11 years now so I've developed a pretty thick skin when it comes to unsubscribes, unfollows, and rude or hateful messages. But starting a personal vlog was a whole different ball game! When I'm sharing my business beliefs, thoughts and concepts I can detach from what people think of them. But sharing my life, challenges, personality and relationship through a vlog is a l...

Setting big business goals can be scary... especially when they are money goals. If you're someone who values things like lifestyle, family, health and time more than money then you may find it difficult to understand why you'd even set a big money goal. Does setting big money goals make you materialistic? Greedy? Do they mean you will have to hustle and spend all of your time working? Neglecting...

On top of that, you also carry a lot of hidden responsibilities, like: Making all the decisions in your business Being solely responsible for paying your wage or providing for y...

Scaling our businesses almost always requires us to step out of our comfort zone and into some discomfort. Discomfort is a requirement for growth. You've heard me say this before and I even recorded a podcast episode about it! (Ep 60) But it isn't always wise to step into too much discomfort at once. And some business owners may be in a season where it isn't wise to step into discomfort at all. Be...

People usually make decisions from one of two places: Fear or growth. Fear-based decisions look like... - Choosing to stick with your target market because it's familiar and profitable, even though you don't enjoy working with this market of clients. - Deciding to not launch the podcast or Youtube channel you've been dreaming of because you're afraid no one will care. - Deciding not to launch a ne...
