Powerback 102: Develop one financial system to enhance your growth Nov 11, 2021

Show notes

Today I want to give you just a few bite-sized ways that you can start to develop a financial system that really works with you.

Now look, I know how terrifying looking at numbers can be BUT I can also sit here and honestly speak about how liberating and exciting it can be as well.

First and foremost, I want you to create a Money Day. Every single week, choose one day to look at your numbers (creating this habit is really going to give you so much of the Powerback® because you're going to have knowledge, and knowledge is power);
Then I want you to consider getting set up with an official accounting software (Personally, I love QuickBooks);
Finally, I want you to get that freebie set up; that introductory offer that causes people to say, ‘Yes, I'd like to learn more.’

Creating a financial system that works for you does not have to be cumbersome; it does not have to be complicated; it does not need to have all these bells and whistles involved in it.

The most important thing here is to find something that works for you!

102: Creating systems to grow your finances with Chelsea Clarke Nov 09, 2021

Show notes

You know we talk a lot about money on The Gutsy Podcast – primarily because most of us have been taught that it’s hard to come by or that you must bust your ass to receive it.

But we also talk about money because there are two key elements that I want you to embrace: first, that money is energy and what you believe to be true about it will become your reality and second, that you must have systems in place to grow your finances.

Today, we’re bringing the two together, and to share her story and expertise, we have Chelsea Clarke.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why we NEED to talk about money
What is lifestyle freedom and what does it mean to Chelsea?
Why money can buy happiness in a way
What was Chelsea’s money mindset before starting her business, and then what switched for her?
Two really helpful systems that new businesses can put in place to help them grow their monetization?
What is blog monetization and how can you do it too?
What is the most actionable step our listeners can take to grow their business this year?
What is a customer journey and how did Chelsea perfect hers?
Some recommendations on monetizing a podcast

Chelsea is a business strategist, investor, business broker, and the founder of entrepreneurship blog, podcast and school, Her Paper Route where she specializes in blog monetization and website investing.

Chelsea clawed herself out of $30,000 debt in less than two years and went from a waitress earning $11 an hour, struggling in the most expensive city in the country to growing her company to over half a million dollars in less than 3 years.

She has helped a community of over 200,000 entrepreneurs increase their financial fitness and make more paper and has been a guest on The Blogger Genius and featured in Authority Magazine, Business Insider and CNBC Grow.

Powerback 101: Step into your confidence Oct 28, 2021

Show notes

Beauty is such a broad topic and feeling beautiful starts with yourself - it's not an external validation

This week, I want to encourage you to take your Powerback® by stepping into your confidence.

Now you might be thinking, ‘But Laura how in the world do I do that? Like all of a sudden, I’m just gonna roll out of bed one day and be like, ‘I'm fucking fantastic?’’

Well, you can absolutely have more days like that, but confidence actually starts with the small actions.

One of the easiest and most simplistic things that you can do for yourself and your confidence is to be silent for 5 - 10 minutes a day. And in that timeframe, just let whatever happens, happen.

Because it's in those silent moments, those pauses, when you really truly begin to hear yourself (maybe even for the first time!).

And it's in those moments that you get to take your Powerback®.

Beauty comes in many shapes and sizes.

But we live in an empowering time where women are taking their Powerback® and standing up for their own unique brand of beauty – themselves.

Today, we’re talking about feeling beautiful, inside the mind of mental health and outside with our physical confidence.

Why it’s okay to grow out of your old comfort and into something new
How Danielle worked through negative pushbacks from loved ones during her entrepreneurial journey
Why there is power in the pause
The importance of discovering your why
How does Danielle empowers and encourages women to feel confident in themselves
The importance of honoring your inner voice and feelings
That you don’t have to meditate in the same way that everyone else does (this is your permission to meditate differently!)
Advice to women struggling with their beauty (both inside and out)

Danielle Doan is the founder of Paradise Artistry, an eyelash extension business. She is 27 years old who transitioned into the business industry in October 2019. She has a voice for self-development and high-performance growth and is passionate about helping other women gain confidence through empowerment and the law of attraction.

Powerback 100: 3 Ways to Reclaim Your Voice in Business Oct 14, 2021

Show notes

Do you feel like you’re not showing up in your business as authentically as you could be?

Perhaps you're afraid to speak the way that you want to, or maybe you're afraid to show up the way that you want to?

And it's not because you don't want to, it's more often than not in fear of what other people are going to say or think.

Here are three ways that you can do to reclaim your voice in your business:

Anytime that you write or record content, I want you to,

First, ask yourself, ‘Does this feel like me?’
Number two, ask yourself, ‘Do I have something valuable to add?’
And third, ask yourself, ‘Does this cross a boundary?’

These three questions are true Powerback® moments where you can start to allow yourself to shine - to show up like you in your business.

Now some of you might be sitting there sweating going, ‘Oh, Jesus, Laura, like, you asked me to do a lot of things!’

It's okay. It's not an overnight fix!

The easiest thing that you can do, the most palatable thing that you can do, is to ask yourself, ‘Does this feel like me?’... I think that's a really great place to start to build strength in that muscle.

P.S. Thank you for hearing my voice and sticking with me for 100 Tuesday episodes and 100 Powerback® episodes!

This is an enormous milestone and the fact that you consistently show up, and you absorb the words that come out of my mouth, and you find value in the words that I say, I cannot express my gratitude enough!

Powerback 99: Discover Your Bottleneck Sep 30, 2021

Show notes

Do you feel like you get so far in business, you get lots of momentum and then all of a sudden there is a stop?

And more times than not, it's not outside circumstances or lack of time or lack of money or lack of something that is stopping you, it's actually because you're stopping yourself.

You become the bottleneck of your business and until you release it you will repeat the same cycle.

Now, this is a very common challenge, particularly in female entrepreneurs - I mean, let's be honest, we've kind of been taught that we're the ones carrying the load and if we don't do it, then it's not going to get done right.

The Powerback® opportunity here, however, is to recognize where your bottleneck is in your business.

Do you have three months worth of your finances that need to be reconciled and you just keep putting it off? If so, then maybe it's time to delegate that to a bookkeeper.
Do you find that you are really good about social media for a period of time, and then all of a sudden you haven't posted anything in three weeks? If so then maybe it's time to get a social media manager.

Now, there truly is some magic that you bring to your business that cannot be replicated. But there is also power in the release my friend.

And I know that you're ready to do it.

Trauma comes in all shapes and sizes. There’s no right or wrong, good or bad – we each experience aspects of our life through a different lens.

What you may not realize, however, is that unreleased trauma can show up physically and could be part of the reason you’re not succeeding in business the way you know you could be.

Today, we’re talking to Janelle Hardy about how trauma may be showing up in your body and business along with some ways that you can move it through you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Janelle talks about her entrepreneurial journey, which involves following her intuition
What does bodywork entail and why is it so impactful?
What are trauma responses and how do they work?
How does unresolved trauma tend to show up physically in our bodies?
How long does it typically take to release trauma?
Working through limiting beliefs of pricing and income
Ways we can practice bodywork at home to release energy and trauma

Janelle Hardy is a writer, artist, host of the Personal Mythmaking Podcast and the creator/teacher of a transformational memoir-writing course called The Art of Personal Mythmaking.

She's been working as a trauma-informed bodyworker in the hands-on healing arts fields for 13+ years and as an artist (writing, painting + dance) for 17+ years.

Throughout that time she’s taught adults out of her living room, art centers, universities and community colleges and has integrated all of her expertise into supporting people in their creative healing work via the alchemy of transformational memoir-writing.
