Ep 107: What To Do When Your Loved Ones Don't Believe In You Apr 28, 2019

Show notes

When I first started my blog, I had zero confidence. And I really do mean zero! That's why I kept it a secret from EVERYONE in my life for more than a year. I doubted myself so much that the tiniest giggle from a loved one would have forced me to shut the whole thing down.

I've come a long way since then, so in this episode, I'm sharing practical tips to help you create self-confidence when you need it the most - as well as the real reason it hurts so much when our loved ones doubt us!

In This Episode You'll Learn:

The most important thing you can do if your loved ones don't believe in you

Ep 105: What A Six Figure Business *Really* Feels Like Apr 21, 2019

Show notes

Ever since I started my blog in August 2013, building a six-figure business has been a dream of mine. Since my business will be crossing the six-figure mark this week, I thought now would be the perfect time to chat through what it feels like to finally be here.

Like most people, I believed that having a six-figure business would mean more happiness, more time and feeling more organised - but this hasn't quite been the case! I'm so grateful for where I am but also wanted to share what can happen mentally when we achieve our big goals.

I hope this episode inspires you to continue goal-setting and reminds you that there's no need to rush because you'll always be on the journey.

The biggest misconceptions I had about having a six-figure business

Ep 104: My Money Mindset Routine + How I Manage My Finances Apr 20, 2019

Show notes

The way you think about money determines how you feel about money and therefore what you do with money. More money doesn't solve money problems (because fear of not having enough turns into fear of losing it). It's an abundant money mindset that solves money problems and I LOVE sharing what I learn as I do the work to create my own.

One of the things I do to create an abundant money mindset is my money mindset routine. This inspired by Kathrin Zenkina's 'Money Mondays' but I've put my own spin on it. I can get a little nerdy with numbers (I do have a finance degree after all) but I've done my best to make this easy to understand! I hope this gives you some inspiration to be more intentional with your finances and a few ideas about what you can do to upgrade your money mindset.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

How my money mindset routine changed my life
My exact money mindset routine, step-by-step from start to finish
Simple journaling exercises that will transform your money mindset
How I manage my personal finances and stay out of debt
How I manage my company finances including what I use an accountant for
The two metrics I track each and every week in my business
Why I don't recommend creating an 'emergency' account and what to call it instead
