Learning to understand your brain/body connection is essential for success. Lee Chaix McDonough, founder of Coach With Clarity, shares her wisdom on using our intuition to unlock a more successful business and fulfilling life. Many of us suffer from internalized messages that prevent us from taking steps forward in life and business, and the key to overcoming these obstacles is to trust our intuition. Our brains and our “gut” don't always agree, and we're often held back by our brain trying to protect us from stepping outside our comfort zone. Learning to distinguish our brain from our intuition isn't easy, so don't be afraid to seek help from a coach or a therapist if you're feeling stuck. Lift the restraints of your comfort zone and learn to trust your intuition!

I see you posting on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram, appearing on guest blogs and podcasts, creating your content, sharing your story, perfecting your elevator pitch, working out the kinks in your about page, learning the ins and outs of copy that converts and sales pages that sell. I see you doing all the right things, checking all the boxes, showing up, diving in, giving it your all and then some. Your drive, your devotion, and your ambition are practically tangible. I see you plagued with self doubt, uncertain whether you have what it takes to make this entrepreneurial thing work. mistakes, vacillating between a mindset of abundance and opportunity, and one of anxiety and self condemnation, desperately trying to brave the storms in your business and your life as the winds swirl and the rain pours. I see you. I see you because I am you. I know all too well what it's like to have a dream, a passion, a desire for something great. When I began my coaching business, I wanted to change the world by connecting with mindful, energized, motivated people who wanted to love their work and their lives. I saw myself serving people powerfully and changing lives. Then shortly after I began my vision clouded. These are just a few words in the letter to the intrepid entrepreneur from my guest today, former psychotherapist and social worker, now executive coach working with entrepreneurs, Lee Shea McDonough, author of Act on Your Business. This is a great conversation where we explore the intersection between therapy and coaching, entrepreneurship, and values leading the decisions that we make as entrepreneurs. Once again, I love the conversation. I hope you do too. Thanks for listening. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nathan-leslie/message

In this episode of the Work Your Inner Wisdom podcast, Lee discusses the art and science behind intuition. Intuition – or your inner wisdom – is at the heart of spiritual entrepreneurship, so it's imperative to have have a common understanding of what it is, where it comes from, and how we can cultivate it so that intuition plays a more dominant role in our businesses and our lives. The episode begins with Lee sharing different approaches to defining intuition and shares her personal take on it. She then dives deep into the research behind intuition, both from a neurological and an enteric (aka - your gut) perspective. With a foundation in the science of intuition, we then move into exploring the art of intuition. Lee looks at why intuition is so important in the first place, how it shows up in business and in life, and how to cultivate your intuition.

What does it take to become a coach with clarity ? In this episode I ask that question to Lee Chaix McDonough founder of "Coach with Clarity". In this conversation Lee provides us with practical and easily implementable tools that we can use to become that which we desire to be.Here is just a snippet of our conversation, Lee states : I developed a tool that I call the coaching business compass, and it's composed of eight different directions that you can take in your business at any given time, based on what your priorities are, where you're at, in your journey. If you're creating a new offer, I mean, there's a lot to consider here, I created it as a compass and not a roadmap. Because a roadmap is really linear, it suggests we're going to do something, we're going to hit a milestone, check that box and move on. Whereas we know in business, a lot of times we're going back, we're revisiting core concepts and ideas and even our core values. So a compass allows us to pivot to head in another direction and then move back at a later point. But on that compass that I've created, the true north, the very first direction is about your identity. It's really ensuring that you have a clear understanding of what matters most to you. So before we even start talking about your ideal client, who they are and your offer and all of that, we need to really ground down into your values. What matters most was to you ,the natural skills and talents you bring to the table because I guarantee you have them. Even if they don't necessarily feel like strengths or talents right away, they're in there. And in fact, often what makes us really powerful as coaches and what sets us apart, we don't even see as a strength because it comes so naturally to us. We actually have to have other people point that out, right? Yeah, right, right. So we will, we want to make sure we're really clear on who we are not as even as a coach, but as a human being, what we stand for and what we believe in. Once we're really solid on our values and our strengths, then we can start facing outward. And looking at our ideal clients, our coaching approach, our coaching offers, all of that is important that comes next. But we have to have that really strong foundation in our identity first.To Connect with Lee:Website: https://www.coachwithclarity.com/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/coachwithclarity/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachwithclarity/LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/lcmcdonough/Consider Supporting The Show!For the cost of a cup of Joe click the link below:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/laquitastoolboxContact LaQuita Monley:If you would like to be a guest on "LaQuita's Toolbox", please schedule a 15-minute discovery call with me.https://calendly.com/laquitamonley/podcast-pre-booking-callEmail: podcast@laquitamonley.com

Here's something to know about coaching: You don't have to be the expert in all things. Lee Chaix McDonough, the founder of Coach with Clarity, sees visible relief on the faces of her clients when she shares this news. “You are the expert in building nurturing relationships. You are the expert in asking powerful questions,” she says. But you do not have to be the knower of all things, so lean into that grace! On this episode of She Turned Entrepreneur, Lee is sharing the framework she has evolved to support the people who aspire to do the supporting: Coaches. She provides an International Coaching Association certification program that deepens self-knowledge and helps coaches systematically tap into their strengths and inner resources. “You learn as you do,” says the best-selling author of "ACT On Your Business: Braving the storms of entrepreneurship and creating success through meaning, mindset, and mindfulness" You'll learn about Lee's Coach with Clarity framework, which focuses both on coaching practices and craft as well as small-business elements such as marketing, sales and growing a one-to-many model. Lee explains that her certification process is “one of multiple paths to coming to be a proficient coach. It's really important that each individual find the path that will work for them.” Perhaps the Coach with Clarity path is the one meant for you!

Click here to listen to, rate and review this or previous She Turned Entrepreneur episodes. Here are key takeaways from the conversation:· Training is a great way to pivot or augment a coaching practice. Even coaches need coaching!· Interested in accreditation? Not only do coaching certificates confer a great knowledge base, they also provide a lab for us to learn about ourselves along the way.· The job of a coach is not to tell clients what to do, but rather to provide a container for them to discover and feel supported in pursuing the path that's right for them.· The coach's work is to identify and facilitate clients' direction – not define them.· It's the going not the getting there: Remember that coaching is about the process.· Prefer coaching one-on-one? That's just fine! Scaling to bigger groups isn't for everyone.· Nerves happen – to coaches as well as clients. Calling it out diffuses it! Here's a quick look into the episode:· A social worker and public health professional by training, Lee worked with a broad array of clients through years of relocations while her husband was in the Air Force. She ultimately felt called to do something other than social work, from which she'd taken a break, but didn't know what that would look like.· Lee's decision to get certified as a coach grew out of watching her husband grapple with launching a dental practice – and all the small-business/entrepreneurial elements involved. She saw first-hand the need for support.· Once her practice was launched, Lee started getting inquiries from clients who wanted to learn the ropes of coaching themselves – a training niche that she has handily filled!· Lee launched her training and accreditation program right in the midst of pandemic, which was a chaotic time but also a moment in which people were seeking connection.· Traits that make a good fit for Lee's program:o People who are curious.o People with open minds.o People who have the ability to hold space for others to figure out their thoughts.· You don't have to be the ultimate expert in all things as a coach. People are seeking help, an extension of experience and knowledge – not a steamroller.· Lee's advice for aspiring coaches:o Pause to take stock of your interior landscape and core values. o Coaching is an expression of who we are, so self-understanding is key.o Helpers and healers (traits common among many coaches) need to be wary of basing self-worth on how well they are serving others.· There are myriad paths to developing a coaching practice – and not all of them require scaling or moving away from one-to-one work.· What Lee's certification program teaches:o Fundamental ICF coaching skills and practices.o Specific techniques and tactics.o The rules of the road (so you know when to break them!).· About Lee's podcast, a little bit of everything about what it takes to be both a successful coach and to run a sustainable business. It explores:o The craft of coaching and how to build relationships when things get sticky.o Business elements: marketing, sales, one-to-many programs.o Live coaching calls.o Expert guests speaking on various topics. About Lee:Lee helps clients connect with a deeper, more aligned form coaching — and to build a successful coaching business in the process. She is an ICF-certified business coach, creator of the Coach with Clarity® framework, a licensed clinical social worker, host of the Coach with Clarity podcast, and author of the #1 bestselling book, ACT on Your Business. Having helped hundreds of coaches tap into their wisdom and serve clients in truly life-changing ways, Lee offers resource that develop both the skill set and mindset to ultimately transform the lives of their clients.

What's going on in your head is kind of a big deal when you're running a business. It can mean the difference between a productive week and one where you're ready to throw in the towel. But I think mindfulness often gets overlooked and we talk about manifesting things (money, clients, email subscribers, etc.) instead. Those things aren't going to show up if you're not intentional with your time, get your mindset straight, and get really clear on how you want to show up and grow your business. On this week's episode, guest Lee Chaix McDonough talks about what mindfulness looks like in business and as business owners, how to figure out what's important to you (and take action on it), and why all business owners need some knowledge of coaching so you can self-coach. It's not our typical episode, which I think makes it even more interesting and powerful. Tune in now!

With Lee Chaix McDonough Running a business can be compared to riding a rollercoaster. One day you are productive and you know exactly what to do to move the needle in your business, the next day you're lost and discouraged and left wondering if you should just throw in the towel in on the whole thing. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. And no matter what level you are at in your business or what juncture you find yourself on that roller coaster ride, at some point you will find yourself standing in one place thinking to yourself, “I am not sure what to do next.” Hiring a business coach can help you find your way out of these kinds of ruts, and it can also help you to set goals, be accountable to someone other than yourself or your team, it can help you deal with overwhelm and it can also certainly lead you to develop new skills. But knowing whether or not you need a coach, or if you are even ready to hire a business coach is a whole other question. That's why my guest, best selling author and founder of Coach with Clarity, Lee Chaix McDonough, is here today to help you decide if coaching is right for you. In today's episode Lee will help you to better understand the world of business coaching, she'll walk you through how to know if you are ready for coaching, where to begin your search and what to look for in a business coach. I'll add this: Research by the International Coach Federation has found that, of small business owners who hired a business coach, 70% have seen increased work performance, 86% have seen a return on investment and an impressive 99% of entrepreneurs were happy that they made the decision to hire a business coach. So before you click away because you think this is just another business expense that you don't want to add. You may want to listen in today because dodging a business coach could be costing you business growth. So without further ado, let's dive in to today's episode. In this episode, Lee talks about How this psychotherapist made the leap to business coach.Putting your uncertainly aside – why you need a business coach.Defining businesses coaching – The Three Elements.Questions to ask yourself to determine if you need a business coach.How to create the magic container in scheduled coaching sessions and still allow for creative space.What working with a coach looks like.Three M’s: Meaning, Mindset, and Mindfulness.Working around mindset, how we relate to our own internal experiences.Why we tend to self sabotage and how to fight the natural instinct to play it safe.Meaning – aligning your business with your values.What you should look for in a business coach, where do you begin?Coaching certification… is it necessary? Coaching claims – the red flags to watch out for when you are looking for a coach.Act on your Business- Braving the storms of entrepreneurship and creating success through meaning, mindset, and mindfulness. How to get started. Ask yourself how you are doing in terms of achieving your goals (do you know what they are?) and how it is going in the process of achieving them? How are you feeling about it? Taking a personal assessment of where you are at in your journey (without shame), and check in with yourself. If there is a disconnect, that might be a sign that checking into coaching is your next step.Lee Chaix McDonough I loved chatting with Lee. She is just so articulate and she really seems to get the process. A business coach is someone who can prop YOU up, ask you intelligent and strategic questions to get you thinking about your own business and business goals in a new way. A good coach will challenge your self-defeating beliefs and give you the tools you need to push them aside so that you can stay focused on your priorities. Hiring a business coach may be just the solution you need to start your business or to improve the one you already run. If you find yourself feeling stuck, a business coach can help you work through the processes in a systematic way to take your business wherever you want it to go. Yes it's an investment, but maybe it will unearth new returns for you.

Ever since Lee Chaix McDonough was a little child, she always wanted to write a book. When she was four years old, she wrote her first one she called The Book of Life about everything she had learned in her four years of life. Fast forward 3.5 decades, she finally came up with her first published one called, ACT on your Business: Braving the Storms of Entrepreneurship and Creating Success Through Meaning, Mindset, and Mindfulness. Today, she sits down with Alicia Dunams to talk about the process of writing the book as well as to go through some of the ways life and business coaches can act on their business, and the three M’s that can inform our decision making and any action we take in our life.Love the show?

I have been following Lee's work for a WHILE and I am so grateful that she joined me to debunk some myths around coaching, bring some clarity to the difference between coaching and therapy, and how therapists can get involved in the coaching world to extend their reach and help people feel healed and empowered. She shares her favorite resources and communities for those who are interested- even if you're on the fence about the coaching world, you do NOT want to miss all the facts in this episode!

What if I told you you could have a coaching client tomorrow. And that what's likely keeping you from starting is that you're making it too complex. Too complex technologically. Too complex logistically. Too complex ethically. Too complex emotionally. Buying into the notion that coaching is difficult to do alongside therapy is keeping you from moving forward. But I promise, once you are able to cut through the fluff, and start a coaching business with just the essentials, you can start helping people and making money now!

The dream of being on the beach sipping mai tais while your online business is racking in sales has been promised a million times. Does that element of online business exist? Yes! I’m dreaming of the day when I can live in a condo in Mexico. Creating more spaciousness, ease, and freedom in our professional life that gives us the spaciousness, ease, and freedom in our personal lives is what we all aim for. We want to build a business on our own terms that has less obligation to a heavy course load, less red tape, and less regulation. Where we get to handpick the therapy clients that we really want to work with. This way we get to pursue income and impact in a way where we’re not always looking over our shoulder. But is being completely disconnected from other people and completely reliant on technology really what you want? My time with hundreds of clinicians and therapists the answer is probably no. If you are drawn to high touch work, coaching should be a part of your business offerings It’s trendy to move away from coaching, I have tons of episodes about scalability but this online income stream can still be successful. In today’s episode, I’m sharing all the pros of coaching and why it is so easy to sell. If you want to know how to repurpose and repackage your clinical skills, I invite you to Step Into Success an event on September 3rd co-hosted by Lee Chaix McDonough where you will learn why coaching is the easiest online program to sell and how to step into this role.

There’s a fine line between coaching and therapy. Unlike selling courses, a digital planner, or a workbook, coaching can be ethically tricky. Because, when you've worn the therapy hat for so long, it’s really easy to use your clinical ear, hear the potential for healing, and slip right into process. I am of the mindset that if you are a licensed therapist you don’t need a certification to be a coach. But you do have to learn how to perform differently. You can't just show up to a coaching call and treat it the same as a session. This is how you jeopardize your license. Instead, you need to understand the differences between two things: Setting up a coaching practice VS setting up a therapy practice Performing like a coach VS performing like a therapist In this week's episode, we dive into both. Lena is curious about coaching so we cover everything from business licenses, taxes, insurance, products to sell, marketing, and informed consent. We also tease out what a coach does on a call VS what a therapist does in session. At the end of the episode, Lena has a clear idea of how to distinguish coaching from therapy and how each aligns with her purpose and lifestyle needs. If you want to know how to repurpose and repackage your clinical skills, I invite you to Step Into Success an event on September 3rd co-hosted by Lee Chaix McDonough where you will learn why coaching is the easiest online program to sell and how to step into this role.

“As coaches, it’s not our job to force them or push them before they’re ready. It is our job to meet them where they are.” —Lee Chaix McDonough

After over 15 years of being in the field of psychotherapy, Lee Chaix McDonough decided to pivot and shift her skill set after a major life transition. When they moved from Germany back to the US after her husband retired from the military and he bought a dental practice, she decided to press pause on her professional career to help her family transition to civilian life and to assist her husband in growing his business.  As she immersed herself in understanding the mindset of owning and running a business, she became more and more interested in combining her strengths of intuitive work and coaching. From there, she started her coaching business: Coach with Clarity.  Lee is the CEO and Founder of Coach With Clarity, a business coaching and training company. She became credentialed as a coach through the International Coach Federation and now provides ICF-accredited continuing coach education for intuitive, heart-centered coaches. She is also the host of the Coach with Clarity podcast and author of the #1 Amazon book, ACT On Your Business: Braving the storms of entrepreneurship and creating success through meaning, mindset, and mindfulness.

Today on the show Jodi interviews Lee Chaix McDonough, author of ACT on Your Business (2019). Here are some highlights of the conversation: Jodi and Pariajt talked about how Lee came to write this book. Lee recalled how she’s always wanted to write a book (and did so even at age 4!) and had tried many times over the years. She felt the time was right because she had something to say at the same time that she was looking to grow her platform and visibility. She realized a book could marry meeting that business goal while also fulfilling a personal goal at the same time. Lee shared that one of her favorite parts of the process was her initial brainstorm and figuring out what she wanted the book to look like. She felt like there was a cohesiveness quickly about the two-part structure of  the book. Lee talked about the resistance she encountered after writing about 15,000 words. She identified her “messy middle” as a crisis of confidence rather than typical writer’s block. She said it helped to have a strong outline to return to and also that she wrote about it and ended up including the story in the book, so it did serve a purpose. Lee mentioned that ACT on Your Business is serving her through visibility and credibility rather than through book royalties. She talked about the book as a springboard to other opportunities she’s taking advantage of, such as speaking at industry conferences and presenting webinars. She also offered this golden nugget of wisdom: Author-entrepreneurs should think of a book as in investment in your message that leads to other opportunities. Lee shared that she’s reading Marie Forleos’s new book, Everything Is Figureoutable. She also noted that this book is a perfect example of nothing being a totally new concept. What’s “new” is your particular “take” on the material. Listen here or on your favorite podcast player, and let me know what you think!

You’ve heard the expression “woman’s intuition.” But what does it mean? In this episode of Woman Worriers, Annapolis-based therapist Elizabeth Cush talks with Lee Chaix McDonough, host of “Work Your Inner Wisdom,” about the power of your intuition.

Today I sit down with Lee Chaix McDonough, founder of Caravel Coaching to talk about the heart and soul of coaching. We answer your burning questions. How is coaching different from therapy? Should you get certified? Why niche down? How to build an email list and much more! We also get personal as we discuss imposter syndrome and mindset. Can’t get enough of Lee? I can’t either!

One of the joys of making a career change is becoming something or someone new. Reinventing ourselves. Letting go of the old and donning on a new hat that more closely aligns with who we are today and how we want to show up in the world. But this can sometimes be a double-edged sword. As beautiful as it may sound, this evolution can also be daunting. It can be surprisingly challenging to let go of our old, established identities. Even harder is identifying the beliefs we’ve always had about what success looks like or sounds like — and releasing those that no longer serve us. We explore this with business coach, author, and fellow podcaster, Lee Chaix McDonough.

Lee Chaix McDonough is a licensed social worker, therapist, coach, and founder of Work Your Inner Wisdom. After spending 14 years moving around the world with her family while her husband was in the Air Force, Lee realized she wanted to do something a little different than traditional therapeutic work or private practice. She decided to start coaching other helping and healing professionals in their businesses, first on the how-tos of entrepreneurship and later on mindset and mindfulness. Lee and I really dig into how mindset affects the way you build and scale your business and how the same mental blocks can come up over and over again in your entrepreneurial journey. Lee also talks about why meaning, mindset, and mindfulness are the cornerstones of her coaching practice and why so many helping and healing professionals initially struggle with the business side of creating their own practice. And discuss the recent shift she’s made in her business to work more closely with intuitive entrepreneurs and why intuition should be a welcome addition to your decision-making process.

Being a private practice owner and running your own business can be a daunting process with many things to learn. We are diving into the nuances of entrepreneurship today with someone willing to take the risk of failure and learn the lessons there. Lee-Chaix McDonough, LCSW, is here to discuss the mindset required to be a private practice owner and business owner. Lee’s book, Act on Your Business, is Amazon’s #1 new release in business entrepreneurship. In this episode, she explains the fear of failure and the fear of success, because success brings with it the fear of not being able to sustain it. Lee discusses the integration of our skillset and mindset and how to bring mindfulness into the entrepreneurial journey, through her “3 M’s of Entrepreneurship.”  You can read the full show notes at: Session192

In this episode of the Work Your Inner Wisdom podcast, Lee discusses the art and science behind intuition.   Intuition – or your inner wisdom – is at the heart of spiritual entrepreneurship, so it’s imperative to have have a common understanding of what it is, where it comes from, and how we can cultivate it so that intuition plays a more dominant role in our businesses and our lives.   The episode begins with Lee sharing different approaches to defining intuition and shares her personal take on it. She then dives deep into the research behind intuition, both from a neurological and an enteric (aka - your gut) perspective.   With a foundation in the science of intuition, we then move into exploring the art of intuition. Lee looks at why intuition is so important in the first place, how it shows up in business and in life, and how to cultivate your intuition.   Be sure to check out the show notes for more information about this episode, as you let your inner wisdom lead the way.     LINKS:   Show notes: https://workyourinnerwisdom.com/3/   ACT On Your Business: Braving the storms of entrepreneurship and creating success through meaning, mindset, and mindfulness by Lee Chaix McDonough: https://actonyourbusiness.com      Abstract of “Developing Intuition: Neural Correlates of Cognitive-Skill Learning Caudate Nucleus” Journal of Neuroscience, 28 November 2012, 32 (48) 17492-17501:  http://www.jneurosci.org/content/32/48/17492    “The Science of Intuition: How to Measure ‘Hunches’ and ‘Gut Feelings’” from Live Science, May 20, 2016: https://www.livescience.com/54825-scientists-measure-intuition.html   Abstract of “Measuring Intuition: Nonconscious Emotional Information Boosts Decision Accuracy and Confidence” from Psychological Science, April 16, 2016:  https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0956797616629403   Abstract of “Trust your gut: using physiological states as a source of information is almost as effective as optimal Bayesian learning” from Proceedings of the Royal Society B, January 24, 2018: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2017.2411     “Trust your gut: There’s nothing ‘woo-woo’ about the vagus nerve” from Psychology Today, September 23, 2016: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-athletes-way/201609/trust-your-gut-theres-nothing-woo-woo-about-the-vagus-nerve     Work Your Inner Wisdom Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/workyourinnerwisdom

Have you ever invested in a course or program with high hopes only to have it fall flat? Maybe it over promised and under delivered. Or you lose interest and put it on the shelf for “someday” (aka never).Now imagine the opposite scenario: you buy a course and generate 28 times the initial investment!Today’s guest, Crickets to Customers student alumni Lee Chaix McDonough, tells us exactly how she did just that.Lee is a coach for spiritual minded business owners, and author of the book ACT On Your Business. After spending 15 years in the fields of social work and public health, Lee pivoted and pursued a coaching career. Lee walks us through her first year of business, and reveals the mistakes she made along the way. She realized her business decisions were rooted in fear - and as a result she had created a corporate looking and sounding business that wasn’t in alignment with the real her or who she was meant to serve.She was looking outside of herself for answers, instead of owning her natural strengths and infusing in her biz. With this in mind, she realigned her coaching practice to serve her ideal clients.While Lee had built a thriving 1:1 coaching business, she saw a need to add another service to her offerings. In August 2018, after being one of my earliest podcast listeners and C&C Community members, she took the plunge and joined C2C.Lee’s results will blow you away! Listen in and hear:What her initial hesitations were to joining Crickets to Customers and why she overcame themHow important her community anchor was to rally her people and grow her audienceThe steps she took to open her first FB group and what’s she’s learned + how it’s grown to 700+ membersWhat took place for her to generate over $17000 in the 7 months since she first joined C2C!

I’m so excited that we are at 50 episodes this week. When I started this podcast back in June of 2017, I never imagined getting to this point. I start podcasting because I was tired of writing blog posts and I felt like it wasn’t the best way for me to educate my audience and make connections with other people in the industry. After meeting a group of amazing podcasters at a networking event, I decided to jump in and try podcasting for myself. Since then, we have had a ton of amazing guests, some solo episodes, lots of freebies and opt-ins, and a couple of bumps along the way. Today I want to look back over the past 50 episodes, give you some insight into what I’ve learned, the most popular episodes, and a little sneak peak of what’s coming next. Topics Discussed: An overview of the 5 most popular episodes Some of my favorite interviews that you may have missed The top 3 episodes to listen to before beginning your website design Lessons I’ve learned from 50 episodes of Process to Profitability Some of the big mistakes that I made My favorite reviews (and why I love them) What’s coming next Ways that you can support the show Most Popular Episodes: 01 | Using Your Blog to Educate Clients with Cinnamon Wolfe 14 | Writing a Book that Serves Your Audience and Your Business with Jodi Brandon 39 | Mindfulness and Entrepreneurship with Lee Chaix McDonough 11 | Creating Effective Surveys in Your Business with Lauren Black 20 | Pricing Your Services for Your Profitability and Your Dream Clients with Kristin Kaplan My Favorite Episodes You May Have Missed: 47 | Strategies for a Higher Converting Email List with Kate Boyd 05 | Using Customer Feedback in Product Design with Ashley Staum 10 | Connecting to Your Clients through Brand Photography with Mallika Malhotra You Need to Listen Before Designing a Website: 15 | Is Your Website Working for You? Creating a Strategic Website 27 | Setting Goals and Planning Your Website 29 | Creating Content for Your Website What I’ve Learned: I love having a conversation with my guests while still covering their area of expertise Podcasting takes a lot of time and effort and it costs a lot more than writing a blog It’s easier to interview a guest than to host a solo episode Mistakes I’ve Made: My very first episode was released with the intro and interview audio tracks overlaid, so you couldn’t understand anything One of my early episodes was released with 20 minutes of audio missing in the middle – and I didn’t catch it until months later Favorite Reviews: “Samantha, host of Process to Profitability, highlights all aspects of business in this can’t miss podcast. The host and expert guests offer insightful advice that is helpful to anyone that listens!” – Brooke Craven “I’m only a few episodes in, but I already love what I’m hearing. Samantha dives right into getting to know her guests and it’s all action from there, which is great!” – Krista Miller “I’m loving Samantha’s podcast for her ability to ask questions that really allow the interviews to get to the strategies that business owners are curious about. It’s exciting to hear stories AND get something you can put into place in your business immediately!” – Reina Pomeroy What’s Next: 3 Action Steps for each episode New guests covering topics like learner-centered design, subscription-based businesses, and the true value of an hour New solo episodes including what a week in my life looks like, website analytics, and auditing your website Transcriptions for each episode How You Can Help: Leave a rating and review on iTunes Share the podcast with a friend Tag us on Instagram and Facebook @processtoprofitability or @lemonandthesea
