Simplify Your Business, Amplify Your Life

“If you want to be successful, why are you wasting time thinking about how much you don't want to fail?” It was a simple question that changed how I approached business and life. Fear of failure is very powerful, but what's more powerful is fear of success. When I support my clients in their ability to achieve more in life, I ask them what's going through their mind that's preventing them from going after it, whether it's talking to that attractive person, sending that email to a potential investor or even going to the gym. Among their responses is often, “Well, I don't know what to say" or “What if she doesn't like what I have to say?" People bombard themselves with “what ifs.” I get it, all these scenarios could possibly happen, but the truth is they haven't yet. Nevertheless, the uncertainty around these “what ifs” takes away your courage and confidence to go and make that move, even knowing it could level up your business and life. Let me explain why this happens and what you can do about it. PS - If you want to book a 1:1 Focused Coaching session, you can do so here: FOCUSED COACHING

I gotta be honest with you. These last couple weeks have been TOUGH ones. It was a couple of those weeks that we all have from time to time as entrepreneurs. Even after 25 years. I ended up getting Covid a couple weeks ago and spending time quarantining to the bedroom for what seemed like an eternity. I had no energy to do any work and as I laid there all I could do was watch tv or think - which can be good and bad. I wasn't stressed about not being able to work, but the more time that I wasn't working in my business the more my thinking started going south and I found myself thinking about getting a job. Today I'm being very transparent about those feelings and what I did ... Let's dive in! If you want to book a 1:1 Focused Coaching session, you can do so here: FOCUSED COACHING

You may have heard about different ways to overcome (objections) hesitations like ‘I can't afford it' or ‘I have to think about it'. It's actually rare that people truly can't afford something.

There are 3 hidden reasons that sales hesitations happen and knowing these can make all the difference! Let's dive in ... You can listen on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or Google Podcast.

When it comes to building your business, do any of these sound familiar - (maybe they all do)? “I've got to join as many Facebook groups related to my niche as I can.” “But wait, is my niche narrow enough? Maybe it's too narrow. Or maybe it's too broad? I don't know!” “Ugh, I hate marketing. I just want to coach. But I know I have to, so I'll hop on this Facebook Group, offer advice and see what happens.” “Shoot. That's not working. Maybe I'll post some things on Instagram. I've got this great inspirational quote I can use.” “Should I go on LinkedIn? Or maybe I should run some Facebook Ads. But those are so expensive and I have no idea what I'm doing.” “I just want to help people and not have to do all this other stuff.” The result of all of these thoughts? Overwhelm. Confusion. Frustration. The powerful urge to clean out and organize your closet instead! I'm guessing that if you've had at least a few of these thoughts, you're ready for a new approach.

The time vs money debate is a hot one. As I was preparing for this episode, my head was spinning from the articles I was reading. One standing firm in that time is limited and you only have 24 hours in a day, so it's more precious than money. Another standing firm that money is your most precious resource because it will buy you time and save you time on other things. Funny thing though … I agree with both. Let me tell you why … P.S.

Have you watched the movie The Founder with Michael Keaton? It's all about McDonald's—the hundred billion dollar company that's arguably responsible for systematizing the fast food industry. The McDonald's franchise works in a way that anyone can go in and implement their exact proven system, and they'll have a high chance of succeeding. They can also hire almost anyone to work in any McDonald's kitchen and following a systematic set of procedures, that person can produce the same food every time. You don't have to be McDonald's or some other huge corporation to utilize systems. A system is a set of processes, tools, people, and strategies that all work together to solve a problem or achieve a goal. Seriously, it's no secret systems and SOP's aren't exactly the sexiest of business topics. BUT if you are someone who doesn't have those things in your business and had to learn the hard way how much your business really, really, really needs those things… Let's dive in...

Your business should support the life you want, not strain it, right? And you shouldn't have to give up what matters most to you in life to have a successful business, right? But recently I realized that I actually did give up a lot to get where I am today, but not necessarily in the way you might think. For you to be as successful as you want to be, there may need to be some things you'll need to give up too. Let me share some of those things I needed to give up … T-18 Coaching Experience Trisomy 18 Foundation Are YOU actually ready to be a SUCCESSFUL coach?

I realize this is not the most sexy topic to talk about, but I think it really needs to be discussed. These last few weeks I have been thinking a lot about the online space and pressures new entrepreneurs and solo entrepreneurs can feel to earn big bucks really fast. Social media posts are screaming to let them show you how you can make $100k in your first month just like they did. I'm always curious what the backstory is around these posts. Anyway … These kinds of posts create pressures in the minds of new entrepreneurs and solo entrepreneurs because - yes - they need the money … and good grief who wouldn't want to make $100k in your first month? But, I think it's also because they want to prove to people that they've made it. They want to prove themselves in the industry and show that they are worth it and deserving of the 5,10,20,100k weeks/months, whatever. Sometimes what we need is less than we think and we can still have an unbelievable lifestyle. Let's dive in ...

When you're a new coach, coming into this online space is kinda scary. It's overwhelming when you think about all of the moving parts that are required to create a sustainable business. I have a sustainable business, and even I still get overwhelmed. And I am continually looking for ways to make it simpler. You know me - simplify your business, amplify your life! I don't want to be part of a rat race. I don't want to feel like I have to show up on a day when I'm in a crappy mood. I don't want to feel tied to anything - I didn't sign up for my coaching business to box me into my own version of corporate. I signed up for freedom.

Today we're chatting with a former client of mine and the Surfing Your Edge Coach, Kristine Goad. Since 2005, Kristine Goad has been helping people get their dreams out of their heads and into the world. As the Surfing Your Edge Coach, she is passionate about helping her clients find the “more” they are looking for from life—more joy, peace, fun, love, time, income, impact, ease, creativity—so they can finally live the bigger, bolder, more badass lives they know they were born for.

You may have seen my social media post last week on 2-2-22 where I made my last post for my business and said good-bye to social media, but I wanted to talk about it on this podcast as well. I'm going to be transparent - like I always am - this was hard for me to do even though it wasn't aligning with me. As you know, anytime you shift and do things differently, your ego shows up and starts making you question yourself. What if you can't get clients outside of social media? … I know I can because I have and I've built businesses long before social media was even around. Where are you going to find clients without social media? … There are over 150 different ways to find clients off social media and I'm pretty sure they'll work because I've used them before. Once I made the decision and hit the publish button, I had a wonderful sense of relief. I didn't feel addicted anymore. I felt free, I felt back in charge of my business and the best part was that I didn't have the stress and overwhelming feeling of needing to make a post or create a story. I'm sharing in this episode my reason for leaving social media.

I see a lot of coaches struggle with the idea of choosing a niche and narrowing it down. And I get it. It feels counterintuitive to focus on fewer community or audience members. Seth Godin has written several books on effective marketing, including the importance of narrowing your niche. I was reading an article he had written and I want to share an excerpt from that article: He says that the Minimum Viable Audience - a term he coined - is the smallest group that could possibly sustain you in your work. We usually think that we need to reach thousands or millions of people to have a profitable business. However, that will probably lead us to create an average product for average people. If we really want to impact other people's lives, we need to find our minimum viable audience. When we create real value for other people is when we can have a profitable business. Seth Godin also says to focus on the audience's dreams, worldviews, and energy. If you could pick the members of this audience, who would you choose? If you could pick them and needed to delight them (something that causes happiness) because you had no one else available, would your product or service improve? If you had no choice but to ignore the naysayers (they're not in the group) or the people who don't think they need you or your work, would that force you to stop compromising and start excelling? Focus on finding your minimum viable audience (your niche) and creating value for them. Instead of being bigger, focus on being better. As you do that, you will achieve profitability. Two things happen when you delight or cause happiness in your minimum viable audience: you discover it's a lot larger group than you expected they tell the others Let's dive in with some action steps to help you narrow down your niche.

The subject line of this episode is 'Crocheting + A Book List + Boundaries' and you're probably thinking - what the heck does this have to do with business? Well stick with me and I'll show you … When I first got into crocheting, it was really fun. I'd find a project I wanted to work on, buy the yarn for it, and get to it. Then, I started buying yarn without a plan of how to use it. I bought it because I liked the yarn. Before I knew it, I had beautiful yarn coming out my ears with no plans for any of it. At first, it felt amazing. But after a while, it became a burden because I'd look at all the yarn and get overwhelmed. I had W A Y too many choices. This has happened to me a few times in the real world — mainly with books and other hobbies. It's also happened in the digital world. In fact, I started a trello list of all the books that I "want to read," and there is a ridiculous amount of books on the list. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of books I've already purchased but haven't read yet. My original idea for the list was to help me keep track of what books to read next. But a list of 300 books on it is completely unusable, especially without a plan. Putting boundaries around areas that cause overwhelm is so important. So, let's talk about that ...

Ever try to work on a Saturday? My guess is it goes something like this... You wake up. You're excited because (normally) you don't get interrupted on Saturdays. No emails to answer. No phone calls. No messages from your team. No planned meetings. It's an awesome time to catch up or try to get ahead for the coming week (you can even hide from your family a bit). But... ...when you sit down to actually start working, you think, "I've got three whole hours to get this done! I've got plenty of time!" Next thing you know, you've checked your emails... you've watched a few cat videos on facebook... you've reorganized your pen cup... all while still thinking you have plenty of time.

Let's normalize building real, old fashioned relationships first - let's prioritize getting to know our audience so we can better serve them. That's how you sell.
