Two steps to making money online Jan 25, 2024

Show notes

When things get busy, it’s sometimes easy to forget that being in business is about making money.

So here is your reminder to get into the money-making mentality this week.

Because sometimes we forget. Social media is fantastic, and engaging content is important, but we’re here to help people by serving them and making money in the process. Otherwise, we’ve just got a hobby.

So, I invite you to look again at your business with fresh eyes: Am I giving people the opportunity to buy from me? Is it easy to buy from me? How can I make my marketing more streamlined and effective?

And ultimately, how can I make more money?

Yes, the economy is tighter, and you may have more competition or less engagement, but there are still ways to tell more people what you do and make more money.

Listen to today’s podcast to learn how your marketing can make a difference in growing your income faster.

How to make decisions in your business Jan 18, 2024

Show notes

I get questions all the time about how to make decisions.

How do you decide when to hire or when to leave a business? Should I offer a new product or stop one of my services? Should I quit my job or keep working?

There are so many decisions to make in business - especially when money and other people are involved.

And here’s the tricky thing. When you work for yourself or have a business, the buck stops with you. It’s you who has to put on the big-girl pants and make a decision.

And that can be both empowering and scary.

While I can’t tell you what to do, I can share how I make decisions and some of the questions I ask myself when considering different options.

Handling other people’s bad money mindsets Dec 07, 2023

Show notes

So your partner or family and friends have a bad money mindset; now what?

I know this is so challenging, and I hear it from our Money Bootcamp members all the time.

How are you meant to do this essential money mindset work - working on yourself and growing your business - when everyone in your life seems to be against you or stuck in scarcity?

What should you do if the money blocks of the people around you are holding you back?

And how do you overcome the fears of outgrowing people or feeling isolated while you break cycles and create a new legacy for your family?

In so many situations, I’ve seen beautiful transformations when couples or family members unite and transform their collective money mindsets.

It’s happened in my own family, and my husband Mark and I even teach a module on this in our Money Bootcamp course.

So, on this new episode of the Chill and Prosper podcast, I’ve got my best advice for nurturing your money mindset and supporting your loved ones with their work.

Key questions before you quit your business Nov 30, 2023

Show notes

Sometimes, in business, things feel hard. There'll be times when you might not love your business; in fact, you might hate it and want to quit.

But before you do anything drastic, let's work through it together.

It's not all or nothing; you don't have to break your business completely - some tweaks could make all the difference.

Your capacity, energy, and passion for your business will change at different stages of life.

And even at different times of your cycle (if you have periods).

So be honest with yourself about the season that you're in right now.

Farmers need to rotate crops and animals and give land fallow time, and maybe you're in more of a family or health season than a business growth season right now.

Wherever you're at, it's okay, and you can set up your business to support rather than drain you.

My best tips to beat procrastination Nov 23, 2023

Show notes

I’ve struggled with procrastination my whole life, especially in business.

I’ve even created courses on beating procrastination, but it’s something that regularly gets in my way.

I know this is a big pain point for a lot of entrepreneurs, especially those with ADHD like me, so I’m sharing my tips and tricks on taking action when you least feel like it.

Although I might look like a very organized and focused person, the truth is, I’m not. However, I can get a lot done by playing to my strengths and using some of the techniques in today’s podcast.

How spaciousness and reflection help grow your business Nov 16, 2023

Show notes

These words in a recent fortune cookie really got me thinking;

"Reading without reflection is like eating without digestion."

I can devour a book in an afternoon, but sometimes don't take the time to reflect on what I've just read. I can be a fast eater, too.

And I'm fast entrepreneur, constantly juggling multiple projects and quick to action new ideas.

The fortune cookie made me reflect on how I can bring more spaciousness into my life.

And it sparked some new ideas on how reflection can help you grow your business.

Because when you're growing a business or dreaming of a bigger life, everyone's best next step looks so different.

Sometimes, it's education or a course. Sometimes, it's going on a retreat like I did recently.

Sometimes, it's in the nuances, like giving yourself an extra day of travel so you don't feel rushed or time off between projects.
