Uncomplicate Your Business: May Q&A with Racheal May 31, 2018

Show notes

Over the last few weeks I have been sharing the Path to Predictable Profits, it has been an epic seven part Facebook Live series. It's been so much fun to share these lessons with you, things that will help you to grow your business to getting that consistent $5,000 a month or that consistent $10,000 a month.

After we covered all of that, now it's time for an Ask Me Anything!

Listen in as we cover:

"I'm interested to know more about how you mesh in-person trainings with online business. We do both and it's not always easy!" Answer at 4:30
"I would love tips to fill retreats and in-person events." Answer at 10:30
"As a locally based business with a 1x1 offering, I'm still struggling to figure out where to put more energy to build my practice. Where should I put my focus to get more peeps in the door?" Answer at 15:27

"I'm very new to starting my own business. My biggest hurdle is knowing how to best seek out quality clients. I'm still employed in my 8-5 job and many of those clients would be great clients for my business. However, I feel that would be a conflict of interest. I need income until my business is stable, where else should I look for quality clients?" Answer at 27:33
"Do you have a resource to help me create my signature offering?" Answer at 33:37

How to Avoid Shiny Object Syndrome & Stick To Your Plan Apr 12, 2018

Show notes

Us entrepreneurs - we are idea generating machines.

We see opportunities everywhere. We discover new solutions to old problems. On a daily basis we're inspired to create something new that could change the world.

Our biggest strength is can also be our biggest weakness. Those new ideas all too easily become shiny objects that hold us back from gaining the momentum we need to build a profitable, sustainable business.

Birthday Lessons from Rach Mar 01, 2018

Show notes

I'm so excited for today's show because the last few weeks for Uncomplicate Your Business, I have been sharing a lot about how you can design the life you love while you grow your dream business.

This is something that I feel like we leave out of the whole business building equation. We end up finding ourselves completely burned out, realizing that we haven't been taking care of our health, we haven't been spending quality time with our families, we haven't been having a life as we grow our business because we feel like we just have to hustle, hustle, hustle nonstop instead of finding that balance.

The last few weeks, we've been talking about how you can design your dream life while you grow your business. Today is an ask me anything, an ask me anything about how I manage to find that balance.

The surprising connection between living a life you LOVE and designing a profitable, sustainable BUSINESS. Feb 22, 2018

Show notes

After working with hundreds of heart-centered entrepreneurs… I’ve seen a pattern that many of us buy into {that’s actually setting us up for insane amounts of stress and anxiety in our businesses}.

While we all want to create a business and life we love, I see many of us DELAYING the life we love because we believe that FIRST we’ve gotta work our fingers to the bone to create a successful business.

The result?

Burnout.

Resentment.

And a nagging feeling that we aren’t ENOUGH.

Even if you absolutely love the work that you’re doing and adore your clients… if you’re life is all work and no play, it’s only a matter of time before you hit a limit to how much success, happiness, and freedom you’ll really be able to experience in your biz.

As a recovering workaholic, this is a pattern I know all too well.

Why More Hustle Isn't the Answer Jan 18, 2018

Show notes

Today, I’m getting a little controversial by saying MORE HUSTLE isn’t the answer to sustainable business growth.

Here’s the challenge and the issue that I really have with this hustle mentality. First of all, we don’t all have 12-18 hours a day to work. We just don’t.

For so many of us, there are other things that require our time and our attention. The idea that you could work 12-18 hours a day, like some sort of machine, is just not realistic.

Is Your Business Ready for Growth? Jan 11, 2018

Show notes

Have you ever had that moment where you think you’re doing the right things to grow your business...but you feel like a kid wearing your mom’s high heels, pretending to be a grown-up?

This is a pretty prevalent way to feel for most business owners especially in your first few years in business. We're surrounded by all the incredible success stories of $10,000 months and 6-figure launches... but when we don't see the same results using the same strategies, we wonder what we're doing wrong.

It comes down to this one simple question:: Is your business ready for growth?

How to Plan Your Best Week Ever Dec 28, 2017

Show notes

I have been working on today's podcast episode for so many months now. I've been thinking about it and planning it and now I'm just so excited to share this new strategy that I've been developing to help you plan your best week ever.

But before I dive into it, this week's content is based on something I have been using in my business and it's actually something I started developing because I realized a lot of my private clients were struggling with very specific things in their business.

What I started to see over and over again as I had conversations with them and sessions with them was the biggest reason they were struggling in these areas of business was because talking with me was the only time during their week that they had those things front and center in their mind.

The rest of the week it was really easy to forget about their big priorities. About what they needed to be focused on in their business. This is something that I understand. I get it.

If you don't have a strategy, a system, a tool to help you keep your biggest priorities in front of you all the time, it's really easy to forget them. It's really easy to push them to the side.

Ready? Let's dive in.
