Did you get into coaching with the hopes of hitting consistent 6 figures a year but can't seem to break past 3 to 5K months?  Does it feel hopeless when you think you'll never be able to surpass your parent's earning capacity? Social mobility isn't always about mindset and embodiment, at least not in the individualistic, pull-up-by-the-bootstrap kind of way it's typically taught. Sometimes people get sick or burn out and have to take a step back.  Sometimes lockdowns don't favor your business, or you lose your job. Sometimes you have mental health setbacks. Sometimes inequalities are things that can't be "processed" or "worked through." Hungry for a conversation that acknowledged the bigger picture of social mobility, I sat down with Julie Creffield, author of "How Not to Be Broke: A Book About Money, Self-Worth and Leaving a Lasting Legacy from Your Solopreneur Business."  Julie is a life and business coach who's created a 6-figure business and has written several books on the subject as well. She's open about her humble origins and talks candidly about some of her struggles shifting out of her social class conditioning and into her true creative and intellectual potential. In this conversation we storytell some of the nitty gritty internal barriers that have come up for us as part of expanding into a bigger vision than the one we came from and the process of moving through them. Listen to "The Myth of Social Mobility" with Julie Creffield and come away offering yourself extra grace in the process of growing the business of your ancestor's wildest dreams!   Follow Julie to her website: https://juliecreffield.com   Take a peek at Julie's books and and purchase How Not To Be Broke (available 9/28/23): https://amzn.to/46VXuRV   Follow Julie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/julie.creffield.1   Explore my 3-month 1:1 comprehensive money mentorship, WEALTH, for spiritual entrepreneurs and creative revolutionaries who want to add more zeros to their earnings with both inner transformation and financial strategies: https://ishavela.com/wealth/   Download my free 5-module minicourse, FLEX, on nervous system capacitation so you can actually make space in your body to receive what you desire: https://ishavela.com   Book a free, 30 minute clarity call: https://book.ishavela.com/clarity   Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/isha_vela

In this episode Julie talks about being labelled a “problem” child, how our childhood experiences show up in our businesses as entrepreneurs, breaking the family poverty cycle and why it's important for her to have something other than just being a mum.   “I think growing up it wasn't just, I felt unheard. But it was like a two way thing. I didn't understand where, where my mum was coming from because she never spoke to us on an emotional level. So she had all this turmoil going on and she was like a brick wall. You know, she was putting on a happy face for us all, even though we could see what was happening, but we just didn't understand it. So we never had a conversation about their divorce. We never had a conversation about her cancer. And so. We could've coped with it a lot better. If we had a little bit more information to work with instead, we were just guessing all the time.”     ABOUT THE GUEST - JULIE CREFFIELD   Julie Creffield is a business growth strategist helping small business owners think bigger and perform better.

Julie Creffield is founder of a global plus size fitness coaching business which just turned 10 years old, and now works also as a community engagement strategist and business coach. Julie's talk explores the highs and lows of running a high impact socially driven coaching business, and the myths that you can't do good in the world and also make a profit too. Sharing the story of how her company Too Fat to Run was formed, some of the challenges of monetising, the high points, and also my thoughts on how small business owners can build profitable mission led communities around their work. Julie has been working in community engagement for more than 2 decades, having worked on high profile mega events like the London 2012 Olympics, with a specialism of engaging hard to reach groups.

Episode 27: Julie Creffield is an award-winning entrepreneur, community engagement strategist, business mentor, author and transformational coach as well as a Run England Run Leader. In 2010 Julie founded the plus-size fitness movement Too Fat to Run? which has helped millions of women around the world to get active and changed the face of sport for plus-size women. It positioned her as an expert in building online tribes, following her 15 year career in community engagement offline. Julie has dismantled the belief system associated with sport of needing to be the fastest, strongest, toughest etc and the stigma/barrier around fitness and being plus-sized. She has completed many challenges including several triathalons and 5 marathons to date. We talk about the intrinsic fear many women face when pursuing their dreams and goals - the fear of judgement (from people we don't even know!) What will people think/say? And if that's not bad enough, then comes the fear of failure and fear of success!!! Julie is a born leader and in her book 'Leading from the back' she goes into what archetype you are and how best to leverage those unique qualities. She is known for creating successful tribes and her movement 'too fat to run?' is still going strong. Click here to find out more about Julie.

How many communities are you a part of? And are you an active member of those communities? As business leaders and change agents, we should seek to create more communities and collaboration between others. But how do we go about doing this? In this week's episode, Lee talks to Julie Creffield, a community engagement expert, who's here to tell you how to get started, and why it matters so much.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Many talk about tribe building, but what they really mean is building a customer base. Tribe building is not about growing a base that you can sell to - it's about creating interaction and belonging. Building a community is about making people feel as though they belong to you. It is about creating shared objectives. Finding your people is about how you activate them. It is the process of inviting everyone, but sparking a community among those who matter by careful targeting through effective messaging. Be clear about your mission. Explain why you're doing the things you do, and why it's important. You can't make everyone take action, but by communicating the bigger picture, you'll reach those who need you. BEST MOMENTS 'When people feel that they belong to you and your brand your community, they're much more likely to buy' 'How do we become the things we are most proud of in real life?' 'They bought into the ideology of what I was trying to do' 'It's about giving people permission to understand why you're in business in the first place'  VALUABLE RESOURCES Business Problems Solved Podcast       Julie Creffield Twitter - https://twitter.com/JulieCreffield Julie Creffield - https://juliecreffield.com ABOUT THE HOST For the last 15 years, I have been a multi-sector internal or external business improvement consultant, building the improved capability of individuals, teams and businesses.

Julie Creffield, founder of the plus size fitness movement,  Too Fat to Run.  For over 25 years Julie worked with organizations, such as the London 2012 Olympics, to bring communities together, and it was when she found herself alone as a single mom, she decided to put her community-building skills to work for herself  - turning her blog into a 6-figure business.   

Fancy your own aligned community filled with lovely, lovely humans?In this episode, I'm chatting with tribe-building expert Julie Creffield about how you can do just that. The key takeaways: People are people, whether they’re online or offline. Community at its core is about having a group of people with a shared vision – a shared sense of ownership. Entrepreneurs often go about this the wrong way – they think that by creating space for a community it’s going to happen. The tribe is not the Facebook group – that’s simply the platform. There will always be fools who feel the need to comment… but often that backlash is what will attract the right people. (And remember – if you let everyone into your tribe, you let the idiots in too). A tribe is a two-way thing. You might be the leader, but they will inspire and challenge you as you go. Be open to that. Your community may not always be your “ideal customers” – they can still be valuable human beings to have in your network. -------------------- Join me on Instagram here:  https://www.instagram.com/dairecharlotte/ Sign up for my weekly (ish) jolts of genius here: http://dairepaddy.com/ -------------------- For the full show notes, including all the links mentioned in this episode, go here >> http://dairepaddy.com/episode71 -------------------- If you enjoyed this episode I'd love it if you could: a) Share your favourite moment, takeaway, or place to listen in your Instagram Stories, tagging me (@dairecharlotte) b) Hop over to iTunes and leave me an honest review.

We discussed her work, being judged, identity, big fat stupid goals, setting big scary goals and active lifestyle and so much more. Have a listen.

Julie Creffield is a powerhouse. Her ability to smash seemingly "crazy" goals is inspiring. Take yesterday, for example. Yesterday she completed her first-ever olympic distance triathlon in Paris, having begun training only six weeks before. She nailed it. As she's nailed many B-I-G challenges she's set herself. Julie is a single mama, a prominent figure in the UK running world and a plus-sized athlete who's run more marathons than most of us ever dream of entering. Fresh off the back of her first TEDx Talk in Folkestone a few weeks ago, Julie and I talk about the importance of dropping our obsession with how we LOOK and focusing instead on what and whom we all are.

Sometimes along a mama’s path, there are wise women to show the way. This week’s guest is just that. Karolyn McKinley is a friend, a single mama of a now grown (and newly married at time of publishing) son, and a wise soul with some serious professional chops to complement her personal experience. Karolyn is a couples, child and family therapist who has seen a LOT of mamas (and papas) struggling to find their way. In this week’s conversation we talk about the most vulnerable time in any romantic relationship, the importance of showing up fully as your whole self – right from the start – for the best chance at a healthy relationship.  We talk about divorce, the effort required to build and maintain relationships around separated families and what we can do to prevent single mamas (and papas) from feeling isolated. Shame comes up in our conversation, along with the common stories about us not being good enough, or worthy of love… and what that does to our psyche, our moods and our relationships. I love when Karolyn talks about a special sweet spot that’s reached when a couple can agree that EVERYONE’s needs matter. That’s when we can achieve mutuality – and goodness me, is that yummy. There’s so much more in this episode, so be sure to listen, share and rate so we can spread the word. If you’d like to find out more about Karolyn and her work, visit the following links Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alchemyofliving/ Web site: www.Alchemyofliving.com During our conversation I mentioned my friend Julie Creffield. Her site is www.toofattorun.co.uk but it’s down at time of publishing (thanks, hackers). However it’s being worked on and should be up soon so I wanted to be sure to include it for you here. Definitely one to watch!

On this week’s edition of the SweatCast we have on author and founder of Too Fat to Run, Julie Creffield. On this episode you will learn what a “Big Fat Goal” is and how you can create and stick to one. Additionally, Julie, discusses the obesity epidemic, body image and social media, mental health and how to take the first step in creating a sustainable fitness program that fits your body and needs.

Would you make a big life change if you weren't scared? Mike Lewis did just that and has created a global community of fellow "jumpers" who share their experiences of creating the life they want. Mike talks to Gillian Russell about his book When To Jump, the four stages involved in taking a leap and how even making small changes can have a positive impact on our health and happiness. Life coach and runner Julie Creffield shares her experiences of jumping and describes how she's been able to use her story to advise others who want to make positive changes in their life and step out of their comfort zone. Founder of Brainworkshops Phil Dobson explains what's going on in our brains when we're out of our comfort zone and why it's good for us to deliberately stretch and challenge ourselves. GP Ollie Hart describes his experiences of doing stand-up comedy and reveals what he has learned from being completely out of his comfort zone! Despite being overweight and inactive, Dawn Nisbet pushed herself out of her comfort zone and started doing her local Parkrun. Finally she found her happy and it changed her life. When a photograph of her - red-faced, sweaty and crossing the line last - went viral on social media, she ended up inspiring so many people who saw themselves in her.

What is it with our obsession with weight? Gillian Russell asks if we'd be better focusing on our fitness and our happiness ... or does the fact that two thirds of adults are overweight mean we're right to keep the conversation going? Steve Miller, Director of FATnosis and Presenter of Fat Families, talks about his own experiences of being overweight ... and says it's time to get more honest about fat and take responsibility for our own bodies. Prof Sadaf Farooqi, Professor of Metabolism at the University of Cambridge, explains how much of a part genes play in our weight and how genetic variations can be a positive way of recognising why we're different, not an excuse to do what we like. Dr Niall Elliott from Sport Scotland Institute Of Sport and also a Sports & Exercise Medicine physician describes the link between obesity and various medical conditions, the benefits fitness can have on our health and how the risk of premature death is almost double if you are unfit compared with being overweight or obese. Julie Creffield, founder of the Fat Girls' Guide To Running, shares her story of being overweight and getting fit. She says there are too many judgements based on size and how someone looks and believes being healthy, fit and happy is more important.

Julie Creffield is a women on a mission. She wants to get One Million women in the UK active and running. She’s focused on the women who don’t get any support, the women who may feel they’re too fat, too overweight, and too curvy to do exercise.  Julie has been providing people wrong over the years, she was told by a doctor she was “too fat to run” she wasn’t -  she went on to run a marathon.  People have been telling her all her life she’s too fat to do things, she decided enough was enough. Just because you weren’t slim or you don’t fit the stereotypical image of what a women should look like doesn’t mean you can’t do exercise and Julie’s proof of this. No matter your size, you’ll be able to relate to Julie and the message she’s spreading. Show notes How the blog idea came about, and how its developed as Julie has grown more comfortable in her own skin Going back to start and finding out more about Julie and what drives and motivates her Getting the wake up call, when a child shouted “Run Fatty Run” Not having the confidence to join a running club, and being embarrassed about running outside. The far off dream of running a marathon… The discrimination of women based on their size.

Today I’ve invited three of our students to share some of the results they’ve had building exposure, credibility and growing their businesses using the media. Lauren Victoria from Hawaii launched Aloha Crate, a subscription box that sends Hawaii treats to people all over the world. We’ll talk about her experience launching her company using just social media and how she landed her first television interview. Julie Creffield from London U.K is a runner, fitness enthusiast, professional speaker and author at toofattorun.co.uk. Her award winning blog and exploits have been featured in press around the world including the U.K’s Daily Mail, The Today Show and the Huffington Post. Joanne Giacomini from Montreal is a writer and blogger at exceptionalmomchild.com. She is the mom of a son with autism and she writes and speaks on the wonders of parenting a special needs child as opposed to just the medical side of things. She joined the course in September 2015 and in a few weeks she landed regular blogging status with Huffington Post Parents, Wise Women Canada, Mommy’s List and more. She’s been featured on local breakfast television and radio shows. All this for someone who didn’t have a single media credit to her name three and a half months prior to this recording. All three of these women not only live in different corners of the world but also have very different types of businesses. Today we will get to meet these amazing women I have had the privilege of working with. Lauren Victoria: When Lauren first launched Aloha Crate at the age of twenty-three she anticipated thousands of customers pouring in but only had three even after a big social media campaign and paying for Ad’s. She realized social media wasn’t cutting it. She reached out to a reporter that she had previously worked with and got into the newspaper. Then a week later a friend of hers told her there was a spot open on the morning news. They got on the morning news a week later and even before she left the station her phone was exploding with orders. It was nonstop the entire day. That was twelve months ago and she recently sold the company for a sizable sum. Here's Lauren's blog. Julie Creffield: Julie set up her blog in 2010 after coming in last in a race. She thought that was funny so she started blogging about it. It was never meant to be a business it was supposed to be a hobby while she was training for a marathon. The blog got a lot of interest from women who said they were fat and liked to run too. A lot of the things she was talking about they said happened to them. There was a lot of excitement before she even turned it into a business. She redesigned her website and it went viral but she didn’t have anything to sell. She had all that traffic but wasn’t making any money because she wasn’t selling anything. So she made t-shirts with her too fat to run slogan on them and things took off that way. Women started wearing her t-shirts and people would ask them about it and they would direct them to her blog. Julie said one of the things that helped her was to think about her target audience. In her case it’s overweight and inactive women who have been burned before by diet companies. She knew she had to build up trust with these women. They weren’t going to go on her site and buy an expensive coaching program right off the bat. She had to provide smaller things and things they could download for free. They wanted to get to know her and understand that she’s going to help them before they will pay money. (Check out her books here) Joanne Giacomini: Joanne said her son is raising her. He teaches her how important it is to live in the moment and how our children teach us to be better human beings. She started her blog last fall. She had so many stories about her son and people were encouraging her to write about the other side of autism. Not about the medical side of it, not about the therapies, but about what it’s really like living and raising a son and the journey that she’s on. So she started her blog and people started responding to it. Friends told friends and it started to grow. Then she realized she had a business idea, she could be helping to empower mom’s to live life to the full with their children and give them the tools and tips and techniques they need to live a better life with their family. She emailed Barry Morgan at CJAD (radio station in Montreal) and she was amazed when he called and said he would love to have her on the show. I love hearing from you. I’m @lifewithgeeta on Twitter.
