Most businesses have a "link in the bio" on their Instagram and other social profiles. But most of these profiles struggle to turn online followers into actual leads that can be marketed and sold to. In this episode we'll talk about growing a following VS growing your list, which one will have more sustainable impact on your business, and how to leverage the link in your bio to ensure you are capitalizing on the traffic that goes through your social media channels.

You know when you're feeling on your A-Game, showing up authentically with high energy, and performing your best. But what about those weeks (or months!) when you feel like your energy is lower than usual? What about those times when challenges in your personal or professional life drag things down and you feel like you just can't get out of a rut? Sometimes this is a random morning, and sometimes it's a whole season of struggle. Today we're talking about how to raise your energy at any time - whether you've been low for a few minutes or whether it's been much longer than that. When you master the principles in this episode, you'll find you have access to unlimited energy every day of your life.

Personal and professional development is at the basis of almost every entrepreneur's operating system. Being a personal development junkie can be a lot of fun and very rewarding - and it can also become a trap that leaves you feeling like you're constantly learning, but struggling to actually grow into new results. What's the difference between successful entrepreneurs and CEOs who read and learn on the regular, and struggling entrepreneurs who can't seem to integrate and live what they're learning? All of that, along with a special method for choosing books that will accelerate your growth, are right here in this episode.

If you're like most entrepreneurs, you've got certain areas of your business where things just flow easily, and other areas where it seems like progress comes like pulling teeth. And ironically, oftentimes the things you want the most - or the areas where you have the greatest desire for progress - are the things that tend to be the most difficult. Today I'm sharing a technique I use called Cross Calibration. It's a simple process I use to "unstick" those areas of my business and life where progress and achievement have been stickier and to take those areas to a place of ease, flow, and progress.

You know the age-old idiom, comparison is the thief of joy.But how often are you letting your joy actually be stolen by this sneaky thief? In fact, you might wonder how often the success, love, money, and everything else you want is right in front of you and accessible to you, but energetically mismatched to you because of old habits of comparing yourself to others! If you can relate, this episode will highlight ways to catch comparison before it spins out of control, and how to begin shifting that feeling of not being enough to knowing that you are deeply loved and supported, and that everything is working out for you.

It's easy to slip into a feeling of overwhelm. Monday morning rolls around, the weekend breeze is finished, and your brain starts going through all the many, many, many things you think you need to get done in order to have a "productive" week. And if you let your mind spin too far down this rabbit hole, you realize very quickly that there's just too much to do and that you're probably never going to get it all done. But what if there was a way to take on only the few things that matter, and to effortlessly see the rest managed by the wiser mind of the Universe? Grab the popcorn and your work journal, because that's what this episode is all about.

If you're an entrepreneur, you likely have money tied to your goals and aspirations. That's perfect. AND, I'd like to dedicate an episode to a currency that is even more valuable than money: TIME. You see, you can always get more money. But time is a currency that can't be multiplied, saved up, or invested for later like money. It's the currency that has immense value because when you truly own your time, you find that you have the actual benefit people have been seeking when in pursuit of monetary wealth.

The term "Universe" has become somewhat of a buzz word. But for soul-focused entrepreneurs, there is a deep sense of something majestic and powerful beneath it. It's one thing to say that "The Universe has your back," and it's an entirely different thing to live and breathe that belief. There's a sense of assurance and even invincibility that comes with tapping into that sense that your very existence is fueled by an undercurrent of well-being - that everything is working out for you - and that you have access to universal resources to create anything you dream of. If you're eager to tap into the depth of this power so that you truly feel you are creating the life you want, this episode is for you.

It's a common thing for a coach, consultant, or entrepreneur to feel like making money conflicts with being purpose-driven. But while this kind of money block is common, there are plenty of successful entrepreneurs who are mission-first and also run highly profitable businesses. If you've ever worried that you have to choose between being soul-focused and purpose-driven versus making money and thriving financially, this episode will help you pivot into beliefs and energy that will serve both of these worthy priorities.

Be determined. Push through no matter what. Conquer your fears. Be a problem solver. These are all common idioms that traditionally hallmark role models and icons we celebrate. But while solving problems is a natural part of growing as a human and as an entrepreneur, it's all too easy to get stuck in problem-solving mode - and to stay there in the midst of problems much longer than you'd like to. Now, you and I both know that life is inherently filled with contrast. There will always be problems to solve and solutions to find. So how do you move as quickly as possible from being stuck in a problem to flourishing in the solution? That's what this episode is all about.

Are you the kind of entrepreneur who has ever felt frustrated by looking at your business expecting money to come from it and wonder where the heck is all the money?

I'm bringing on a special guest who is an incredible mindset and manifestation coach @jessica.jovanovich

Everyone thinks that becoming an entrepreneur, creating greater income, having time freedom, and being able to do life your way is a big dream worth pursuing. But what about when you look at the business you've built and aren't loving the experience? What if you don't love the niche or industry you're in, the roles you personally play in your business, or maybe the relationships involved? This episode is all about ways you can ensure the business you create won't only yield the desired outcomes you've determined, but that the business is also a business you genuinely love owning and operating. I'm going to share examples of when I've pivoted a business with a 180 rebrand, and when I've sold a business that just wasn't for me. If you know you're not only here to be an entrepreneur, but an entrepreneur who loves their business, let's dive right in.

Sometimes you can't help but notice that people around you are getting more of the wealth, reputation, and influence that you want more of. And it can get confusing when people getting the desirable results seem to be people with negative energy and the kind of negative character you wouldn't expect to attract positive results. So what kind of results-generating things are these people doing, and how can you generate similar results while being the kind of positive, healthy-energy influence that is true to you?

It's been said by just about every success coach and in many studies of highly successful people - Writing down your goals makes you more likely to achieve them. But the simple act of writing isn't really the thing that makes your goals come to fruition. If it were, you wouldn't have so many people who do write down their goals, make vision boards, journal about their desires, and so forth, and still find themselves lacking the results they want. So what is it about that writing your goals that really moves the needle on success, and how can you tap into more of it?

You remember hearing the Buddha tell you to focus gently within, and you also remember Jesus telling you to focus outward in the service of the world. This is part 3 of the 3-part series on living Unconditional Well-Being where we've been discussing the power of finding your flow and inspiration regardless of any conditions you may be experiencing. In our final part today, we'll dive into those special moments where focusing on certain kinds of external conditions can be a powerful manifesting catalyst that rapidly draw to you all the success you want in your business and in life.

It's easy to tell yourself to live in gratitude and that you are the seed of an all-powerful Universe that can make anything happen - but those words don't matter if you also believe that you are subject to conditions that keep you from having what you really want. This is part 2 of the 3-part series on Unconditional Well-Being. Today we're focusing on those scenarios where you are CERTAIN that the conditions holding you back are totally REAL.

One of the most common ways we keep ourselves from the success we want is by conditional living. We walk around life observing conditions, we have a knee-jerk emotional reaction to the conditions we don't like, and then we set ourselves on a crusade to change all those conditions so that we can feel better. Today I'm excited to share with you the first of a 3-part series on how to go from this kind of conditional living to living in UNconditional Well-Being.

You've heard it a million times and you've said it to yourself too: Everything is working out, everything is gonna be alright, the highest and best good is always happening... It's easy to say, but it's not so easy to LIVE and FEEL it. Today I'm bringing on an incredibly talented mindset and manifestation coach, Jessica Jovanovich, to dive deep into what it really means to ALLOW everything to work out for you - to truly find yourself in alignment with the growth, income, impact, and fulfillment you desire.

It's completely counterintuitive because a thousand coaches are on the internet telling you that you're going to have to put your nose to the grind and do the hard things you hate doing if you want to make it big. But I'm here to tell you why never doing things you don't want to do is a much faster way to rendezvousing with your dream business and life results.

Sometimes we want success so badly that our wanting is actually the thing keeping it away from us. It seems counterintuitive because we've also learned to take complete ownership over our success and where our business goes. But in this episode we'll uncover the difference between treating your business like your "baby" in a way that introduces a tremendous secret resistance, versus being the inspired and aligned steward over a business that is inevitably on its way to incredible growth and achievement.

You know that a thriving brand starts with a well-defined niche. But getting clear on a niche is one of the biggest hurtles that trips up a lot of entrepreneurs. What if you could take a Universal-Energy SHORTCUT that helps you laser in on that perfect niche AND makes you more magnetic for your ideal customers and followers at the same time? That's what seeking clarity energy will do for you.

To coaches, teachers, marketers, dreamers, and entrepreneurs on the rise... You're here to create your dream business and life, and you're ready to let the Universe manage the details. How is it done? This episode is all about being in the hustle of entrepreneurship AND in the alignment and flow of Universal inspiration and wisdom.

Wondering how to show up as a strategic, action-oriented entrepreneur who also lets the Universe do the heavy lifting for you? If you love being in the hustle and you also love finding that incredibly sweet spot of flow, then THIS is the podcast for you.
