In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik is joined by Melanie Gorman, founder and chief strategist of Crownsville Media. Melanie shares her powerful journey from being a therapist to becoming a digital strategist, helping coaches, therapists, and heart-led entrepreneurs grow their online presence authentically. They explore how AI, SEO, and storytelling work together to help purpose-driven businesses get discovered without compromising their voice or values. Melanie breaks down "common sense SEO," explaining how therapists and solopreneurs can leverage attention metrics, smart content pruning, and omnipresent SEO to compete online without burnout. About the Guest:Melanie Gorman is the founder of Crownsville Media. With over 25 years of experience blending counseling psychology and digital strategy, Melanie specializes in helping service providers turn their websites into client magnets. She simplifies SEO, ensuring entrepreneurs focus on authentic, meaningful marketing that attracts the right audience. Previously, she led the experts division at YourTango and managed platforms like Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. Key Takeaways: SEO doesn't have to be overwhelming: focus on attention metrics and authentic messaging. Google Search Console is a crucial free tool for any business owner. Solopreneurs should prune outdated or misaligned content to send the right signals to Google. Marketing is a long-term, consistent investment rather than a one-time effort. Being visible online starts with understanding your niche and showing up where your clients are searching.

Daniel opens up about his own challenges as a founder, husband, and father of two, and explains why identity-based habits trump grand gestures. From phone-free family dinners to monthly check-ins with his wife, Daniel offers practical ways to stay grounded in the chaos of entrepreneurship. He also discusses the role of intentional boundaries, the power of having accountability partners, and how stoic philosophy helps create mental clarity. About the Guest:Daniel Cheetham is the founder of Captains Club, a boutique executive search firm specializing in placing trusted second-in-command leaders into founder-led businesses. With a focus on pairing head and heart, Daniel not only helps companies grow but lives his own life with intention, balancing work, marriage, and fatherhood through simple but powerful daily practices. Key Takeaways: Small daily habits shape long-term fulfillment more than big achievements. Clear boundaries like phone-free evenings preserve work-life harmony. Accountability partners and reflection help recalibrate when priorities drift. Identity-based habits lead to lasting consistency. Tools like The Daily Stoic and simple 45-minute walks promote mental resilience. Early clarity on your vision for family and business makes balancing both more achievable.

In this episode, we're breaking down the most overlooked, underused metric that holds the key to business growth.

“Les grands groupes ont des critères bien spécifiques, ils recherchent bien plus qu'une simple exécution des tâches. Ils recherchent vraiment une expertise pointue.” – Céline Le thème de ce nouvel épisode : comment rendre son profil attractif aux yeux des grands groupes quand on est freelance. ⚠️J'ai fait une petite erreur dans l'intro: chez Malt, il y a plus de 800 000 freelances référencés (et non 800). Céline est Community France Director chez Malt. Elle échange au quotidien avec des directions achats, des recruteurs et des freelances qui collaborent (ou cherche à collaborer) avec de grandes entreprises. Dans cette interview, elle explique ce qui fait la différence : une expertise bien définie, une offre lisible, une posture assumée, et un profil qui montre ce qu'on sait vraiment faire. Elle partage aussi les erreurs fréquentes (profil trop flou, mots vides, jargon RH…) et donne des conseils concrets pour se démarquer dans un environnement où les concurrents sont nombreux… mais pas toujours bien positionnés.

Do you adore your work but lately find it draining rather than energising? In this episode, Anna Lundberg explores the hidden pitfalls of passion-driven businesses - how loving what you do can still lead to burnout, and practical steps to reclaim balance and sustainability. Tune in for a refreshing perspective and actionable advice designed to help you protect your wellbeing while delivering your best work. Key Takeaways Loving Your Work Doesn't Make You Immune to Burnout: Passion is powerful, but over-delivering and poor boundaries can lead to exhaustion - even when you deeply care about your business and clients. Boundaries Are Essential for Sustainable Success: Building boundaries into your business model and daily routines is vital to prevent draining your energy and sacrificing your personal life. Revisit Your Pricing and Offers: Ensure your fees reflect both the emotional and energetic load of your services. Let go of profitable offerings if they consistently leave you depleted. Intensity Isn't Sustainable: While occasional busy periods are normal, constant overworking should not be the status quo. Design your business to support your capacity and lifestyle as it is now. Sustainable Growth Is Possible (and Necessary): You don't have to choose between ambition and wellbeing. Success can - and should -come without sacrifice, with systems that allow you to thrive long-term. Feeling drained by the very business you built to give you freedom? If your passion is starting to feel like pressure, and your business is taking more than it gives... it's time to rethink how you're growing. Inside the Business Accelerator, you'll redesign your expert business for more energy, more income, and more ease - with smarter structure, sustainable offers, and boundaries that protect your time (and your wellbeing).

“Ce qui est très difficile pour des freelances lorsqu'ils travaillent avec des groupes, c'est d'être référencé. […] Il n'y a pas deux grands groupes qui fonctionnent de la même façon.” ✒️ Le thème de ce nouvel épisode: Les grands groupes ont-ils vraiment de gros budgets? Et surtout… nous, les freelances, peut-on y accéder? ✨ Mon invité pour en parler: Charly, fondateur de Beager, une plateforme qui fait le lien entre freelances expérimenté·es et grandes entreprises. Charly connaît les deux mondes comme sa poche: il a été freelance avant de fonder Beager, et il accompagne aujourd'hui les grandes boîtes dans leurs collaborations avec des talents indépendants. Bref, il a un regard ultra-précieux… et il n'a pas peur de parler gros sous!

Ces derniers temps, je cogite pas mal sur un possible virage dans mon activité. J'aimerais bien développer une offre de consulting autour du podcast… mais pas en mode “création de podcast” (trop vu, trop fait). Problème : pour proposer autre chose, il faut monter en compétences. Et là, bonjour le vertige. Dans cette Minute Marine, je te parle de : – la direction que j'ai commencé à explorer, – les tests que je mène en ce moment (et les ratés), – et surtout, de ce pari qu'on fait à chaque fois qu'on décide de se former à quelque chose : → temps, argent, énergie… sans aucune garantie de retour. Monter en compétences, c'est un vrai investissement. Et un pari à chaque fois. Et toi ? Tu aimerais monter en compétences sur quoi ? Et comment tu gères le risque que ça représente ?

Lors d'une visio récente, Morgan, un indépendant que j'ai accompagné, m'a montré un slide : sa vision de son activité en 2030. Une structure principale, des projets satellites, une vraie projection long terme. Et ça m'a scotchée. Parce que se projeter, c'est pas donné à tout le monde. Certain·es voient clairement où elles/ils aimeraient être dans 2,3,... 10 ans. D'autres avancent autrement. Moi, par exemple, j'ai du mal à voir au delà de la fin du mois. Dans cette Minute Marine, je te parle de : – ce qui peut bloquer la projection (le contexte, ou juste notre câblage mental ?), – ce que j'ai longtemps vécu comme un complexe, – et comment je fais aujourd'hui pour avancer quand même, en confiance. Même sans roadmap. Parce qu'on peut très bien savoir ce qu'on cherche, même si on ne sait pas encore ce qu'il y a au bout du chemin. Et toi ? Tu arrives à te projeter à long terme ? Ou c'est flou, toi aussi ? (Pour me répondre, envoie-moi un mp sur Linkedin

Il y a quelques jours, je suis tombée sur une grande campagne d'affichage dédiée… aux freelances. Dans le RER. Un vrai budget, pour nous parler à nous. Ça veut dire qu'on nous voit. Qu'on nous reconnaît comme un marché ! Qu'on nous prend (enfin) au sérieux. Dans cette Minute Marine, je te parle de : – cette évolution positive que j'observe depuis 2017–2018, – et de pourquoi ça reste fragile, malgré tout. Parce que oui, l'image du freelancing a changé. Mais on est encore loin de la reconnaissance du startupping ou du CDI-ing. Et toi ? Tu sens que les regards ont changé ? Mais est-ce que toi, tu arrives à faire reconnaître ton activité comme une vraie entreprise ? (Pour me répondre, envoie-moi un mp sur Linkedin

Tu lances un format. Tu publies 4 épisodes par semaine. Et tu n'en parles à personne. C'est ce que j'ai fait avec les Minutes Marine pendant près d'un an. Et non, ce n'est pas une contradiction. C'est ma manière à moi de me faire avancer sans me crisper. Dans cette Minute Marine, je te raconte comment j'ai : – dépassé mes blocages à l'idée de parler seule au micro, – apprivoisé ma gêne à assumer ce format très perso, – appris à publier (presque) tous les jours sans y laisser toute mon énergie. Lancer un projet, tester, apprendre à son rythme… c'est aussi ça, le mindset freelance. Et toi ? Tu as déjà identifié des blocages que tu voudrais dépasser ? Ou des contradictions bizarres qui freinent ton développement ? (Pour me répondre, envoie-moi un mp sur Linkedin

Have you ever had a really good month of sales. One where you felt on top of the world, only to panic the next month when things slowed down? If you answered yes, you're not alone.There's a common mistake the vast majority of solopreneurs make when it comes to leveraging their data… and you may very well be making it without even realizing it. 

S5 Ep10 - Marta Emerson is a dynamic Spanish entrepreneur, renowned for her influential YouTube presence and her dedication to empowering solopreneurs and small business founders through online education and mentoring. In this insightful episode, Marta shares her personal journey from humble beginnings and navigating the early Spanish startup environment, to building a thriving personal brand that now supports over 20,000 entrepreneurs worldwide. She discusses the key differences between scaling startups and building smaller, lifestyle businesses, and offers practical advice on personal branding, business modelling, and sales strategies.  Marta also gives a behind-the-scenes look at how she generates multiple streams of passive income, the importance of authenticity on social media, and the unique challenges and opportunities within the Spanish and wider Spanish-speaking startup ecosystem.

“Le but, c'est d'être top of mind. Dès qu'un prospect rencontre une problématique, il pense à moi.” – Johann Le thème de ce nouvel épisode : utiliser LinkedIn pour attirer (et rassurer) des interlocuteurs très sollicités. ✒️Cet épisode fait partie de la série thématique Travailler avec les grands groupes quand on est freelance. Johann est consultant en data visualisation, expert Power BI. Sa stratégie : publier deux à trois fois par semaine sur LinkedIn pour se rendre visible auprès de ses prospects – des responsables IT, financiers, ou DSI de grandes entreprises. Dans cette interview, il nous explique comment il structure sa prise de parole, pourquoi il publie autant, et comment ses posts, ses commentaires et ses recommandations clients créent un tout cohérent pour asseoir sa crédibilité.

Certains projets nous stimulent. D'autres nous rincent. Héloïse, auditrice du podcast, m'a partagé comment elle alterne entre missions à forts enjeux et missions plus “relax”, pour trouver un équilibre et éviter de se cramer. Dans cette Minute Marine, je te parle de : – la pression qu'on absorbe parfois sans s'en rendre compte, – celle que les clients se mettent — et qu'on finit par porter aussi, – et pourquoi intégrer cet aspect dans ses choix de missions, c'est aussi stratégique que de regarder le budget. Je te partage aussi une expérience perso : pourquoi j'ai choisi d'arrêter certains formats d'accompagnement longue durée… pour préserver ma propre énergie. Parce que la gestion du stress, c'est un pilier discret mais essentiel de l'entrepreneuriat. Et toi ? Tu as parfois l'impression d'absorber la pression de tes clients ? Comment tu gères ça ?

Faut-il fuir tout ce qui ressemble à du travail gratuit ? Pas forcément. Dans cette Minute Marine, je reviens sur une pratique partagée par Laetitia dans son interview : pour approcher certains clients, elle leur offre un post bien ficelé. Et je t'explique pourquoi cette stratégie me semble brillante. Je fais aussi le tri entre : – les dérives bien réelles du “je te paie en visibilité” (oui, moi aussi, on me l'a fait), – et les démarches claires, offertes avec intention, pour enclencher une relation ou provoquer une recommandation. On peut se rémunérer autrement qu'en euros. À condition de savoir ce qu'on veut en retour. Et toi ? Tu as déjà offert une partie de ton travail ? Tu savais pourquoi ? Ou tu l'as regretté ?

OK Boomers we all know that we have been stumped by a certain new technology or that dreaded UPDATE to our Mac, any laptop, iPad.. Arba Cooper's motto is EMPOWERING BABY BOOMERS to BOOST BUSINESS. Let me introduce Digital Technologist Arba Cooper When Arba and I first met, Arba mentioned that she and her husband have a five year plan to buy a large property for "year round training and lodging."  As the former La Chatelaine of Le Petit Chateau inn, I was silently screaming DON'T DO IT… However.. they have their ideas firmly grounded in the training aspect.  That is a vital and key aspect of anyone with ambitions to start this beast (LODGING) of a project.  We eventually transitioned to current topics.. our different businesses.  I learned that Arba has a wealth of training information, talent, and practical experience as a trainer and website designer: seven years as a SCORE volunteer and engineer with Hewlett Packard.   https://arbacooper.com/home Here is a great link to learn more about Arba Cooper.  Foremost, today Arba Cooper focuses her Digital Technology practice on the Baby Boomers who are SOLOPRENEURS.  She focuses on their ability to learn what they need in technology for their businesses to succeed for their day to day functions. She teaches them how to use the technology that they can operate, use and manage on their own. She is not selling them a Ferrari.  More akin to a subaru and in the drivers seat, not the passenger seat. For instance, the technology hype is to create funnels or a huge email marketing program because that is what all the hype is about.” Oh you gotta have a funnel sales system”. Oh you gotta have an email marketing program”.  Both of these hypes are expensive and I know first hand as I was using KAJABI for $149 a month.   I was completely overwhelmed and not using any of these “ MUST HAVE” business applications. What I find so refreshing about Arba is her ability to help SOLOPRENEURS gain the technology that they can learn and manage without all the expensive and largely unused applications because “everyone else says “ ya gotta have this”. Her wide range of skills include web design, technology training, speaking, and acting. Arba has helped numerous entrepreneurs successfully launch and expand their businesses. Her unique skill is simplifying complex marketing concepts, making resources accessible, and easy to understand.  https://arbacooper.com/home   Kundalini Yoga REMOVING EMOTIONAL FATIGUE and FEAR OF the FUTURE https://youtu.be/XKkrT8TFnVE?feature=shared   Wine and Food  Bubbles - most women like bubbles .  Gruet from New Mexico is still one  of the best WINE   the best value and quality TRY GRUET ROSE NV Brut Rosé $17.00   CONACT Valerie Hail valerie@allinourminds.com www.allinourminds.com

Years ago, I believed that posting daily on social media and cranking out blogs meant I was executing a strategy. Most of us have been there faithfully ticking all the boxes: Instagram posts, networking events, blog posts, and waiting for results that never seem to arrive. It's frustrating, especially when you're working solo.

Welcome to Sales & Cigars, the sales podcast where the only smoke we blow is from cigars. On  today's episode, Walter is joined by returning guest Nate Tutas to explore a concept Nate calls  the "core four." This framework is designed to help entrepreneurs and business owners scale  effectively while avoiding the common pitfall of chasing shiny distractions. The episode is a  candid conversation about strategy, focus, and execution.   To begin, Nate shares insights from his current packed schedule, including involvement in  multiple masterminds, coaching, and training for high-profile platforms He also discusses a  personal growth goal achieved: traveling with his wife and daughter, and the recent loss of their  Siberian Husky. The conversation then shifts to recommended reading, specifically 38 Letters  from J.D. Rockefeller to His Son, a book that deeply impacted Nate's perspective on leadership,  values, and legacy. He reflects on Rockefeller's emphasis on responsibility, integrity, and the  value of healthy competition, noting that the oil magnate never took rivalries personally but  instead saw them as opportunities for mutual growth.   The discussion leads into the idea that these timeless business philosophies are still highly  relevant today. Nate shares the catalyst moment behind creating the Core Four framework—a  system to help entrepreneurs stay focused and scale more effectively. Nate and Walter dive  deeper into the emotional challenges of building a business, especially around the initial “attract”  phase of the Core Four framework. Walter shares his own struggles with consistently drawing in  the right audience, admitting that figuring out the best vehicle to deliver his message has been  frustrating. This discomfort is common and closely tied to the slow, unpredictable nature of  marketing success and can manifest as frustration, tempting entrepreneurs to shift focus  prematurely. Nate reiterates that lasting success requires staying in the discomfort long enough  to complete and refine the system. Whether it's wealth, health, or relationships, the same  principles apply: stick with the process, resist the urge to start over, and avoid quick fixes. This  mindset shift is essential for mastering the attraction stage and setting up a scalable business.   Finally, Nate emphasizes the importance of sticking with discomfort in order to grow, sharing  how consistency is key to progress. He introduces his Core Four framework (Attract, Acquire,  Ascend, Automate), explaining that many entrepreneurs struggle because they use too many  strategies in each area. His upcoming program at unlockmv.com will guide participants to focus  on one clear method per area to create a streamlined, effective customer journey. The episode concludes with a reminder that clarity and consistency drive business success, and Nate shares that his content will now primarily live on YouTube for easier access.   The 4 A's: Scale your business regardless of your size  1. Attract  2. Acquire (information + Purchase)  3. Ascend (immediate, long term)  4. Automation    Key Episode Points:  • "Distraction is your enemy."  • The 4 A's works for Solopreneurs and Large teams. • You have get uncomfortable with the uncomfortable. • Sometimes uncomfortable feels like frustration. • Be careful not to diminish the focus of your teams  More About Mind Vault  More About Nate  More About Walter  More Episodes of Sales & Cigars     Podcast Offer:  www.unlockmv.com

The combination of getting fired shortly after a failed marriage made Vera Ilnyckyj feel like a complete failure, purposeless, disconnected and stuck. She's grateful for this challenging time because it was the start of discovering her purpose - helping other women get back on track after a major life change. Ultimately, it led Vera to leave her corporate job and step into her business full time. While she had no training on how to run a business and no formal plan, what she did have was a deep desire to help and inspire others, create belonging, and empower people to take action towards their goals. A major learning that Vera has had as an entrepreneur is the realization that intense inner work is required to step into a new version of yourself. As a result, she's developed tools, resources and practices that support self-trust, confidence, resilience, mindset and intuition, along with strategies to support discipline, consistency, goal-setting, marketing, sales and business growth. Today, Vera's approach combines the spiritual and the material in order to create impact and income. Her mission is to help women solopreneurs live a genuine, fulfilled and positive life through their business. Vera believes we're not meant to be on this journey alone which is why she's committed to uplifting others in community - through her mastermind success collective, in-person and online workshops, retreats, speaking, her podcast, blogs, videos or social channels.

  Have you ever faced a blank page, saying to yourself, “I know I need a story…a good story…for business. But I keep drawing a blank.” And most of the story prompts—those questions beginning “Tell me a story about” are not designed for business. They're designed to get your personal stories. So you get prompts like, “What was your proudest moment…” which rarely helps your business. As I've said many times, a business story serves a purpose. It doesn't just amuse and entertain. It supports your strategy…which is rarely about helping you feel good about yourself. In this episode I talk about story prompts and introduce my newest product—a list of 30 story prompts for b business stories, one for each day in a month. A no-brainer at $7 when you click here.   The podcast helps you understand:  What is a story prompt and how does it help Why some prompts may work well for personal stories but not for stories you use in business A tip about how to start a collection of prompts for business stories A sample: 5 business prompts you can use now (with tips about how to use them) Why the prompt “Talk to your former self…” isn't helpful for business stories In this episode, I mentioned a movie: Harold and Maude - a classic oldie.
