Let's talk about money — with compassion, clarity, and zero judgment.In this solo episode, I'm breaking down one of the most common struggles I see with women entrepreneurs (especially mamas just starting out): not feeling confident or organized when it comes to the money side of your business. Whether you're not making money yet, not tracking your income, or not paying yourself — this episode is here to help you shift from shame to empowerment.After more than a decade of coaching women entrepreneurs, I've noticed that financial clarity and confidence aren't built overnight — but they are learnable. You don't need to be a numbers nerd or love spreadsheets. You just need to start.So if you've ever said, “I'm just not good with money” — grab a notebook, tune in, and let's change that narrative together.

But here's the truth: the most successful entrepreneurs are those who learn to ride these waves with resilience and a whole lot of adaptability.In this heart-to-heart episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I'm sharing four powerful principles that have helped me (and my amazing clients!) navigate uncertain times with confidence and clarity.

If you're not bringing in enough leads, you're not making enough sales—it's as simple (and painful) as that. But here's the good news: some of the best leads you'll ever get don't come from ads or funnels… they come from referrals.In this solo episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I'm sharing exactly how I built my six-figure business through word-of-mouth referrals—and how you can too. Referrals are one of the highest-converting lead sources because they come with built-in trust.

In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I sit down with Stacey LaViolette, the creator of My Friend Toothy, to unpack how we transformed her pitch and helped her triple her conversion rate at live events — without changing her product at all.When Stacey joined Mama Mentors, she was already doing well, but knew she could be doing better. Her sales pitch wasn't connecting the way she hoped — so we got to work. Together, we refined her messaging, repositioned her product, and trained her team to pitch with confidence and clarity.

And when your social content or offers don't match up with your vision for your brand, it's a problem.                                                               We want our dream clients to see us as someone who truly understands them — as a thought leader and expert who will guide them to the solutions they need. Unfortunately, many of us are not fully showing up as that person… and this holds us back from building trust and connections with the people we'd most like to serve. In this solo episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I reveal how to craft a highly effective personal brand that embodies and supports your business goals. This is an especially valuable lesson for coaches, consultants, and educators, so don't miss out! In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you'll discover:‌ ‌· 5 types of content where you ARE your brand and how to show up in ways that boost your sales· The area of your sales funnel where you need to reinforce your brand the most  · How I've audited my own online presence (and the changes that I've made)  Timestamps:‌ ‌00:33  Intro & auditing my content03:22  The problem gap06:19  Be your dream client's guide07:55  Attraction content09:19  Engagement content10:55  Connection content & discovery calls15:03  Paid content18:28  Daily actions20:13  Scattered morning story21:14  Recap & conclusion Links mentioned:‌ ‌Connect with me on LinkedInA-Players Rapid Impact Business Coaching Program—Learn with me: Mamapreneur Success Path - Free Audio Training‌Connect with me:  Facebook: facebook.com/liannekimcoach Instagram: @liannekimcoachJoin the Mamas & Co. community to get access to valuable resources and the support of likeminded mompreneurs and mentors: mamasandco.com Instagram: @mamasandcoPodcasting support:theultimatecreative.com copymagic.agency

One of the amazing benefits of being a business owner is that YOU are in charge. But this is also one of the biggest challenges of being a business owner! As the leader in your business, you're responsible for high-level decision-making in many different areas, including who you serve, how you deliver results — and how much you earn. Business owners can struggle with knowing how much — and how often — to pay themselves. While investing back into the business is important, paying yourself a regular salary is absolutely crucial!  Women entrepreneurs tend to underpay and deprive themselves, and this can cause them to lose steam as they aren't seeing enough reward for their efforts. This episode of The Business of Thinking Big takes a practical, no-nonsense approach to setting up your CEO salary.

While coaching can be an incredibly fulfilling career, too many coaches struggle to make great money while working in their zone of genius and doing what they love. The problem?

Money is a powerfully emotional topic… and for many of us, it's strongly tied to our feelings of self worth and confidence. Women often worry that they aren't making as much money as they want to or “should” be, and as a result they don't feel successful. When we feel unsuccessful and anxious about our revenue, our actions may be guided by fear or even desperation — and that can have a BIG impact on our business growth. This episode of The Business of Thinking Big dives into the concept of wealth mindset and reveals seven key things that highly successful women entrepreneurs do to increase and manage their wealth, from tapping into their “future” self to developing a more playful relationship with their money.

When we feel “stuck” in our businesses, we may believe that we lack motivation. More often, what we actually lack is the discipline to focus on what we must do in order to hit our goals. Motivation comes and goes — we can experience it more often during periods of expansion, while undergoing a rebrand, or even on a “Motivation Monday.” But while it may lead to bursts of inspired action and visionary work, it isn't the fuel that powers long-term progress.Discipline is what helps us take the small daily actions that lead to steady, reliable growth over time. These actions don't always need to be perfectly done, they just need to be consistent —showing up each and every day to do the work is what will help you move the needle and see lasting results! This solo episode of The Business of Thinking Big explores the differences between motivation and discipline, and the role that each concept plays in our growth.In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you'll discover:‌ ‌How and why your motivation levels may fluctuate from day to day or week to week Real-world examples of how discipline can look in practiceHow to build consistent and effective action into even the busiest schedule! Timestamps:‌ ‌00:32  Intro02:08  Motivation comes and goes04:24  What is discipline?05:41  Weight management example08:26  Building consistency10:37  Personal savings example13:58  Forming habits15:58  Thank yourself!17:12  Cheerleading example19:49  Where do you want more discipline?22:02  How many minutes a day?26:46  Recap & conclusion—Learn with me: Mamapreneur Success Path - Free Audio Training  ‌Connect with me:  Facebook: facebook.com/liannekimcoach  Instagram: @liannekimcoachJoin the Mamas & Co. community to get access to valuable resources and the support of likeminded mompreneurs and mentors: mamasandco.com Instagram: @mamasandcoPodcasting support:theultimatecreative.com copymagic.agency
