067 - Longevity vs Legacy Dec 03, 2020

Show notes

There's a fallacy in modern society that you have to turn your passions into money-making opportunities. In this episode, we share our ideas about using "work" as a means to fuel/fund your passions. It can be really hard to monetize your art, so what if you gave yourself permission not to?

We explore Caroline's concept of Longevity work vs Legacy work in this podcast ep. We hope it helps you see the work you do to pay your bills in a slightly different light AND remove some of the pressure to generate revenue with your creative ideas.

Show notes

HOLY MOLY, PEEPS! Get ready to hop in the Zook 👩🏻‍🦰👨🏻‍🦲 time machine and listen to an in-depth discussion of our past 10 years together (with a ton of lessons shared that we learned along the way!)

Did you know our relationship started long distance?
Or how about the fact that Caroline convinced Jason to hire her?
Or that Caroline almost didn't create her first online course?
Or that Jason wrote his second book publicly for everyone to read?

We share these stories and many more as we take a lovely jaunt down memory lane from 2010 to 2020.

We've been doing this online business thing for many years and the one thing we keep coming back to with every business we start is a specific framework for creating content.

Spoiler alert: Social media is always the LAST part of our content strategy 😱.

In this episode, we'll go over the three aspects of our Content Salad (strategy) and share with you the exact system we use over and over to build an audience, create authority, and have fun along the way!

When it comes to making our work more enjoyable, we are always on the lookout for helpful or weird things.

063 - Should you push through or pull back? Nov 05, 2020

Show notes

One of the toughest decisions, when you work for yourself, is deciding when you should PUSH THROUGH and when you should PULL BACK.

In this episode, we share our experiences of times when we had to push a bit harder to meet a deadline or finish a project. We also share times when we pulled back to ensure we took care of our mental health (and our future selves).

We hope the MMM & Enough Number exercise toward the end really helps you know when to push through and when to pull back!

062 - A subtle reframing that's helped us a ton Oct 30, 2020

Show notes

We are conditioned to get as much done as quickly as possible in life and business, but is that the best way to do things? And how can we enjoy more of the mundane tasks in life?

In this episode, we share a subtle reframing that helped us go from: How fast can I get this done to How can I enjoy how long this takes?

061 - What to do when future plans fall apart Oct 22, 2020

Show notes

If you’re anything like us, 2020 has really thrown your future plans for a loop. We had some pretty big goals to move to Europe in 2021 and live abroad for a year. That isn’t going to happen.

So, what the heck do we do now? Do we just eat our feelings in cinnamon rolls? Do we give up completely on our future plans?

In this episode, we explore how to deal with the changes 2020 has brought down on us and how YOU can navigate any future plans that got completely derailed.

060 - How we work together Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

We've worked together in some capacity for nearly 10 years 😱. It hasn't been all sunshine, rainbows, and gumdrops, but for the most part, we have a really great working partnership!

So, how do we do it? How do we work together and make it through the inevitable tough days/weeks/months and stay connected as a couple?

In this week’s episode, we share a bit of our backstory about working together and how our relationship has evolved over time. We also share some of our biggest lessons learned (and a couple good giggles!)

059 - "Calm businesses" Oct 08, 2020

Show notes

For years we've been trying to get off the treadmill of "running our businesses" and trying to focus on slowing down, having less stress, and running... calm businesses.

The idea of a calm business is to ask our recurring question, what is it all for? What are all the long hours and late nights for if they never end?

In this episode, we share our philosophy on slowing way down, focusing on enough, and making sure our businesses don't run our lives. We hope you can do the same thing based on some of the ideas we share!

058 - 3 reasons your business isn't making money Oct 03, 2020

Show notes

You have a business and it's not making money... let us tell you why (from our own experience, obviously).

The three reasons your biz might not be making money aren't the ONLY reasons but they are the mistakes we've made in the past and ones we see ALL. THE. TIME.

Stop making these mistakes and start making more progress toward your financial goals!
