Powerback 82: Release the Mental Death Grip Feb 04, 2021

Show notes

So often we have this death grip on our lives - this mental death grip that blocks us from receiving and allowing all kinds of blessings.

What do I mean by death grip?

When we hold onto an idea, feeling or decision so tightly that we do not allow our gut and intuition to lead the way.

This week I want to encourage you to take your Powerback™ by releasing some of these death grips that you have on your:

Life
Business
Relationships
Even your money

Release that shit!

Because when you do, you step into a place of allowing.

You allow your energy to be spent on more important things. You allow yourself to make decisions from a much calmer place.

And this is when your creativity will literally fly through the roof!

Powerback 81: Hone in on Your Dream Client to Raise Your Financial Bar Jan 21, 2021

Show notes

Do dream clients really exist? Like are they out there?

Yes, they are. But we often end up blocking them unintentionally - it's subconscious and it's in the way we’re showing up.

We often give our power away by:

Lowering our prices.
Changing our services.
Saying yes to whatever our clients want us to do and to be.

But this is a power leak. It’s where our energy is getting completely sucked out the door.

This week I want you to take your Powerback™ by starting to set your own boundaries. And not just in your pricing!

In your time and energy.
In your efforts and services.
What you will and will not do in your business.

Now yes, some clients may start to fall away and yes it's scary at first. But hold on through those rocky times people.

When you show up EXACTLY who you know you can be, that’s when you raise your vibration level.

And that’s when you attract the right clients and raise your financial bar.

Show notes

This month we’re focusing on money – how it can flow to you with ease when you align within yourself and then with the right people, places, and things.

Powerback 80: Create Your Passive Income Blueprint Jan 14, 2021

Show notes

Today, we're talking all about creating passive income.

One of my goals as a business owner for gosh, I couldn't tell you how long, has been to create passive income.

Why has this been one of my goals?

Well, for a lot of different reasons:

It opens up capacity by taking you out of the daily grind.
It allows you to put your time and expertise into something that provides value to someone that needs it.

And the best part?

You get to sell it over and over and over again and be that person that makes $1,200 whilst sitting and watching TV.

This week I want you to take your Powerback™ by creating your passive income blueprint.

Step 1: Think about what lights you up in your business.

Step 2: Evaluate how you can maximize that awesomeness.

Step 3: Monetize it.

Look, creating passive income doesn't have to be complicated - it’s all working smarter not harder.

Show notes

You’ve been craving financial freedom and abundance but haven’t been able to reach the financial goals you desire.

Or maybe you think of a number that you’d love to hit in your business and then immediately talk yourself out of it – it’s too big, it’s unobtainable, and it’s selfish.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What the process of healing our relationship with money looks and feels like?
How the process of manifestation through visualization can serve as a vital growth lesson.

Guidance around communicating with naysayers.
The difference between passive and active income.
Top tips people can implement into their business to create a healthy and easy stream of income.

Powerback 79: Create Your Self-Love Routine Dec 17, 2020

Show notes

Self-love comes in many shapes and sizes.

But it’s not always fun and easy.

Self-love requires shadow work and let’s be honest, nobody likes thinking about and working through all of their bullshit.

But when you allow yourself to dig deep and reflect inward, that's where the true healing happens. That's where the magic starts to unfold. That's where you can recognize what longer serves you.

This week I want you to take your Powerback™ by creating your Self-Love Routine. These are simple things that you can infuse into your daily life to make yourself feel better.

This could be:

Sticking a post-it note on your mirror with encouraging messages.
Printing out some testimonials from your clients that make you feel amazing.
Stretching for three minutes as soon as you get out of bed.
Practicing yoga or meditation for a couple of minutes each day.
Getting outside.
Listening to your favorite soundtrack on your way to work.

Look, self-love can be simple. Self-love doesn't have to be this total reset where you rearrange your entire life.

Self-love is in the subtle things that you do for yourself instead of to yourself.

We have seen change in every form and fashion this year.

In today’s Gutsy Podcast Exclusive, I am joined by Jason Feifer, the editor in chief of Entrepreneur Magazine, and we’re going to talk all about embracing change.

Why the pandemic has sparked such innovation in people.
Why romanticizing about the past is a trap.
The importance of finding a balance between ‘living in the moment’ and ‘building for the future’.
Advice for entrepreneurs who are currently struggling with change.
How to present yourself as the ‘opportunity’ rather than the ‘chance’.
What GUTSY means to Jason.

He's been an editor at Men's Health, Fast Company, Maxim, and Boston magazine. Not to mention, the numerous business and technology articles he’s written for The Washington Post, Slate, and New Yorker - just to mention a few.

Powerback 78: Create Your "It's Ok" List Dec 03, 2020

Show notes

One of the ways we tend to give away our power the most is by worrying about things that don’t actually matter.

But how do we know if something truly matters or not?

Well, there are a couple of different questions you can ask yourself:

How does this affect my goals?
Does this contribute to my future?

This week I want you to take your Powerback™ by creating an 'It’s Ok' list - a list of all the small things that irk your nerves but are just not worth your time and energy.

I really want you to reclaim your power from these circumstances, habits, situations, or people and say,

"You know what? It’s okay.
This is not affecting my future.
This is not getting me away from my goals.
This is something I can simply allow to roll off my shoulder instead of allowing it to deplete me in order to prove a case."

And remember, there are at least 100,000 ways that we give our power away each day.

So, I challenge you to take that Powerback™ by NOT sweating the small stuff and to rather dedicate that time and energy to the things that matter most.
