    There's a lot more that goes into your money situation than just the dollars in your bank account! Money mindset is something I've been exploring in my own personal development journey, which is why I was so eager to jump into today's conversation with Tessa Paige, who offers financial coaching and mindset work for women who are working towards a feeling of empowerment and the ability to confidently make decisions surrounding their money. Tessa shares about her experience after a relationship, moving into a corporate job, and realizing that the relief around money didn't come even after the steady paycheck started to arrive.   We also talk about our money mindset as it relates to running a small business. The two are so connected! While, yes, the goal in a business is to drive money into your pocket, it's also important for many of us to feel passionate about our impact and the work we're doing. It's not always easy to charge for your worth, especially when you're newer in your business, or when the dollars aren't exactly flowing in abundantly right now…  This episode will hit you just right if you've ever wrestled with a scarcity mindset surrounding money in your business, or if you've ever taken an ego hit in reading someone else's fast-tracked success story.  I love Tessa's approach on “releasing your timeline.” Your money situation will be completely unique from your neighbour's, and comparison really does not serve you here. I say this all the time in my group program, CHEER CAMP, but comparison NEEDS context.  Connect with Tessa Paige: INSTA: https://www.instagram.com/iamtessapaige/ Tessa's Free 5-Day Money Challenge: https://iamtessapaige.com/takefinancialcontrol/ Tessa's 8 Week Money Coaching Program: https://iamtessapaige.com/takefinancialcontroliamready/ ----------------- Learn more about my 1:1 coaching offerings: www.coaching.laurakelly.co The CHEER CAMP Membership is open to you if you're ready!

    It's a pretty cool moment when you see a client go through the exact journey you've been setting up in the background for a few years. Since this podcast is essentially one long story of building my second business as a coach and personal development teacher, I felt like I owed it to you to tell this story of the pieces of the puzzle coming together.  In this episode I'm talking about the client's journey, and why it's important for you as a business owner to be intentional about what you're building and how it all fits together.  In my case, how a referral in a FB group directed someone to my website, which lead them to take the Pep Talk Quiz, where my free offering showcased my personality and passion for the work I'm doing. That new lead triggered a series of emails which guided someone who is truly my ideal client to start working with me 1:1 and join my personal development community, CHEER CAMP. It's true what they say, that a small business owner does a little happy dance in the background after something like that! I really felt the impact of everything I've been creating over the last few years. I also want to bring such a compassionate perspective for those listeners who are at the very beginning of setting up this kind of system -- this is not something you can build in a day. I think this ep will really be a supportive listen for you. ----------------- Learn more about my 1:1 coaching offerings: www.coaching.laurakelly.co The CHEER CAMP Membership is open to you if you're ready!

    Coaching wasn't something Shannon Clarke went looking for.

It's causing me to reevaluate all that's been holding me back from leveraging this powerful tool (and btw, I think this episode might give you the itch to start doing the same…) Shana's not going to let you off the hook with your dusty old excuses for why you're not showing up to market your business using video.

    “I believe when you stay close to the flame of whatever you want, it's easier to stay motivated. I didn't have that around me at the time, so I needed to go out and find it.”  I'm so excited to dig up an interview with one of the original CHEER CAMP members, Tanya Lupinski, that we recorded right when that first program ended. Tanya works for the government full time, and is raising two beautiful girls with all of the confidence and self-worth that she is only now starting to fully embody in her 30s.  “I thought I was the most self-aware person I've ever met, to be honest. I had all the stories, I knew all the things. CHEER CAMP was the only community that I've been in that gave me internal things to look at month after month. I started doing the work and I realized “Oh! That's not why I'm the way I am! There's a deeper thing here, there's a deeper thing there…” I firmly believe in owning your story, and I think I was owning the same story I started telling myself when I was 15. That was the perspective of a child! That's not the story anymore, and it's certainly not all of the story.” I think you'll love this conversation about prioritizing your happiness and staying open to the possibility of lasting inner change.  Make sure you're getting emails from me because that's where I'll be rolling out the information about the newly reimagined CHEER CAMP experience!

    A professional wedding photographer for 10 years who pivoted to an online education business. (Sound familiar?) Nope, it’s not me -- it’s today’s guest Shannon Vondy! “If you have 10,000 people following you but they don’t really engage or think of you as somebody to buy from or use as an authority of any kind, it doesn't really matter.” In this episode we’re talking about how to hack your mindset so that you value IMPACT and ENGAGEMENT over metrics and stats. We’re diving into how you would show up differently if you knew that the people who were hearing from you really wanted to be there -- because that’s where Shannon believes you’ll shine.  Plus, I ask Shannon about her transition from luxury wedding photographer to email marketing strategist. She recalls feeling forced to figure things out quickly, and how she didn’t immediately know what her “thing” would be. (Nod along with me, friend, I know you’ve felt that too.)  It’s a refreshing episode for any creative small business owner and you’ll walk away feeling inspired to move the needle in your business today.  I’m excited for you to hear this one!  Connect with Shannon Vondy: WEB: https://www.mrsvondy.com/INSTA: https://www.instagram.com/mrs.vondy/ ----------------- Learn more about my 1:1 coaching program: www.coaching.laurakelly.coWEB: www.laurakelly.coINSTA: www.instagram.com/laurakelly.co Take my FREE Masterclass for small business owners: www.writeyourcopy.laurakelly.co If you loved this episode please share it on your stories and tag me @laurakelly.co!

    Picture this episode like a sandwich, where the bread pieces are mildly interesting conversations about finding your purpose in the career that you choose, and the meats and cheeses in the middle are stories about the weird jobs that I’ve had since before high school. The mustard is the part where I realize I might have stalked a lovely couple on my suburban street after watching Harriet The Spy, and helped a used car dealer commit fraud.  It’s career day! ----------------- Learn more about my 1:1 coaching program: www.coaching.laurakelly.co WEB: www.laurakelly.coINSTA: www.instagram.com/laurakelly.co Take my FREE Masterclass for small business owners: www.writeyourcopy.laurakelly.co If you loved this episode please share it on your stories and tag me @laurakelly.co!

    Bless that bottle of wine that sent me down a social media rabbit hole of looking up my childhood BFFs to see what they were up to… Because it brought me back to Chloe after TWENTY YEARS. We have a shared piece of our childhood but completely different young adult and adult lives, so how did we BOTH end up being podcast hosts and 1:1 coaches? Maybe it was those fake TV shows we used to host with a hairbrush microphone in Chloe’s basement…  Childhood friendship aside, we’re digging into some of the mindset stuff you need in order to give yourself permission to succeed (in business, but also in life.) Chloe McKenzie is the host of the Start Right Now Podcast and I can’t wait for you to hear some of her thoughts on how to be in tune with your inner self while you grow.  Everything is data, and data is everything. Go out there and make a MESS today, friends. -----------------Connect with Chloe McKenzie: https://www.instagram.com/chloemckenzie.co/ Listen to the START RIGHT NOW Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6WZmqWTEN4TCoxzF2meY2P Connect with Laura Kelly: WEB: www.laurakelly.coINSTA: www.instagram.com/laurakelly.co Take my FREE Masterclass for small business owners: www.writeyourcopy.laurakelly.co If you loved this episode please share it on your stories and tag me @laurakelly.co!
