“You are going to feel that universal connection. You're going to feel something sacred. You're going to feel the change and transformation that happened.”Throughout history, fire has been a symbol of healing, used to mark rites of passage, commemorate key events, and serve as a symbol of clearing the old to make way for the new, connecting us with the cycle of life. In this episode, we explore the concept of burning rituals and their significance, and dive into the power of a ritual and how they can enrich our experiences. I will highlight some cultural traditions and their connection to burning rituals, and share insights into the transformative power of fire and its role in land management.Plus, identify what we need to leave behind in 2023 (hello guilt, shame and regret), find the right time and space to release what no longer serves us, and create a sacred space for our year-end burning ritual. Key ideas:00:00 Introduction 03:00 The Transformative Power of Rituals04:42 Cultural Traditions and Burning Rituals13:03 How to Prepare for a Burning Ritual15:10 Affirmations and Intentions during Burning16:47 What to Expect after the Burning RitualQueue up this episode today to create your own year-end burning ritual that will support your 2024 transformation.

 “Looking at your wins tells you what's working in your business.” I always kick off my weekly client meetings with a simple, yet incredibly effective question. It orients my clients toward success and starts our meetings on a high-vibe note. But what I love most about this question is it’s like a switch that activates a success-seeking mindset for the entire week.  Asking this powerful question of your clients is a great way to indoctrinate them in succeeding with the work they’re doing with you (as well as help them understand the value of that work).  This simple question is, what were your wins since the last time we met? Dive into this journey of celebrating wins, fostering resilience, and embracing a mindset primed for growth and success on this week’s episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting. If you’re concerned that this focus on wins might lead to toxic positivity, I also share how to avoid falling into that trap by acknowledging failures as essential stepping stones. Key ideas: Rewire your brain to celebrate both big and everyday wins, and to appreciate progress with this week’s podcast episode.

“Make a master list of every area in your business where you're asking, "How do I...?" and then write the names of those who can help with that problem.” Highly capable women are achievers. They’re used to doing IT ALL on their own. And looking good, while they’re at it. Sound familiar? It’s probably how you’ve gotten through most of your business and personal life. That can be a blessing and a curse. Yes, you’re capable. Yes, you’re better than almost everyone else at doing all.the.things. But the problem with swooping in and doing everything on your own is that you end up exhausted.  And that’s not sustainable. It’s also not how to grow a profitable, joyful consultancy. On this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, I share the solution I gave to my client just last week when she came to me exhausted asking, “Just tell me how to fix this” to a problem she was having. It may surprise you that the solution I gave her had less to do with the “how” of the problem and more with the “who.”  Key ideas: 00:00 Introduction 01:39 How to recognize a martyr complex  04:24 Is it too soon to hire a full-timer? 05:41 Figure out how much help can you afford 8:02 When you’re tempted to DIY, do this instead 9:52 An action step for you to get unstuck and grow in your business and life 12:15 Where to find your “whos” Tune in to this episode today to hear why working more and working harder is not the answer to fixing your problems and growing your business.

“When you have someone who owes you money and the only obstacle is you providing an invoice or payment link, then THAT is your highest priority right now.” You just returned to your office after a week away working on-site with clients. You take one look at the “to-dos” waiting for you and feel overwhelmed with no idea where to begin. That ☝️ happened to one of my clients. And she asked for my help isolating what to prioritize at that moment in her business.  So I created a framework called “What’s closest to the money?” to help her (and all of my clients) feel productive and revenue-generating by focusing on – you guessed it – the tasks that would bring money quickly into the business. It’s a framework I use daily and is one you can use when you feel like you’re unfocused or when you’re financially stressed. (And keep in mind money stress is less about how much you’re actually earning - and more about your fluctuating money thermostat.) This episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting will help you determine what to work on in your business so you feel both productive and better financially. And because I don’t want you floundering in work that isn’t revenue-generating, I also share some “far from the money” tasks that disguise themselves as money-making. Key ideas: 00:00 Introduction 02:16 How to get “stuck money” moving to your bank account 03:44 Don’t fall for this (it’s not a commitment) 05:44 Ways to generate revenue quickly  07:05 Make a habit of doing these activities 09:29 Avoid rabbit-hole comfort zones 10:06 When to put on your own oxygen mask 11:09 Minimize these time-sucking tasks 11:58 Bonus: Once you’ve done all of the above, do this Get out of overwhelm and into productive money-making quickly when you implement the “What’s closest to the money?” framework outlined in this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting.

  “Base your brand language in actual language that clients use.” The most consequential question for you as a business owner is: What do you want to be known for or known as in your business?  The answer is the foundational piece from which your brand identity will emerge. And while it may seem backward, it’s important that you first have clients before you create your brand.  Why? Because your clients show you who is attracted to your work. You hear how they talk about you. How they introduce you to other people. And the language that your clients use becomes the base of your brand language. Brand work can be complicated, which is why I held nothing back as I unpacked the process of creating your brand identity (and marketing message) in this ep of Profitable Joyful Consulting.  Key ideas:   Wherever you are in your consulting journey, don’t miss this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting to discover how to create your brand with intentionality.

“The problem is where the value is.” Consultants often struggle with two critical questions: How do you decide whether to work with a particular client? And, once you’ve decided you want to, how do you figure out what to charge them?  The answers to these questions are found in the discovery session. When you ask powerful questions, you unlock a wealth of information. This information not only helps you understand your client's needs but also empowers you to make informed decisions about whether you can help them. And, perhaps most crucially, it provides the foundation for setting the right price for your services. In today's episode, we're diving deep into the world of powerful sales questions. These are the questions that will transform your discovery calls into invaluable tools for pricing your services accurately, all while ensuring your clients get precisely what they need. KEY POINTS: When you ask the right questions - powerful questions - you elicit information that you can use to price your services, to price an engagement, and to really understand what is going on with a client.

“This question puts you in touch with what you really want to be doing.” Do you ever look back on the week and wonder where all your time went?  Do you have projects and passions you want to pursue but can’t because you don’t have enough time? Where does all that time go?  This week I’m exploring two questions that are SO informative - and frustrating!  Informative because they reveal something that should be obvious: where you’re wasting time. And frustrating, because it’s much harder to do something about this than just to be aware of it. But, once you’re aware, you will be SO motivated to make changes.  I’ve been working with my clients on where they are spending too much and too little time and have distilled down what I believe would be helpful for you to focus on as well. In this one, I share exactly what I see consultants spending too much and not enough time doing - find out if the same is true for you! KEY POINTS: The power and the pleasure of asking questions like these is you have this knowing inside of you, and it's just a matter of creating a line of communication for the answers to come through to you.  Watch this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting on YouTube:  https://youtu.be/2HuU8TAHrUQ or listen wherever you get podcasts: https://samanthaspodcast.com/ for potential answers and actions to help you grow a more profitable, joyful consultancy.  ​QUOTABLES: “This question puts you in touch with what you really want to be doing.” “Figuring it out on your own delays your inevitable, eventual success.

“What if we could take all of the behaviors that we have in our lives and do them with the intention as a gift for our future selves?” For decades, I associated the idea of making my bed every.single.day. with external discipline. It felt like something pointless and imposed on me, and that caused me to rebel against that point of view. Then I heard a mind-blowing question that completely changed my behavior. The longer I sat with the concept, the more I realized that my behaviors today would either gift or sabotage my future self. In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, I share how I use the concept of our “future self" with my clients to help them create the business and life that they want in the future, even though it can involve making tough decisions today.  KEY POINTS: 00:00 Introduction 01:41 The mind-blowing question that changed a lifelong behavior 05:49 How to doom your future self 07:00 Realize this to avoid terrible choices in the present 07:57 The number one way you punish yourself in business 09:00 How to ensure your future self earns less 10:45 Handle this process well as a gift to your future self 13:21 Three actions to shape your business goals and intentions Your future self will thank you for changing your perspective and taking actions that are in alignment with who you want to become.

“The root of this question is a scarcity versus an abundance mindset.” As a consultant, do you ever feel like you’re giving away too much? Worried that people could just figure out everything for themselves from what you freely share? I hear these concerns from consultants a lot. And sure, if you’re naive, giving away too much can inadvertently hurt your consulting business (and in some cases, your clients’ results). But when you’re strategic about what you share, you can trust that your ideas and content actually will bring you clients who want to know even more. You will be able to teach freely and from your heart so people can see the passion you have for what you do. Discover how to strategically approach what you give away and when on this episode of the Profitable Joyful Consulting Podcast.  KEY POINTS: 00:00 Introduction 01:40 The root of this question 03:24 How you discern a good fit 05:01 Why you actually should coach in discovery sessions 07:53 How much to give away in your proposals 08:55 Why maximum discernment is essential when working with clients 09:07 What happens when you give clients too much information 12:00 Lessons from the “Dog Whisperer” about people implementing on their own 15:10 As long as there is this question, you have a job Your people want you.

“The answer to this question tells you what is working for you in your marketing.” Ready for more clients? What if I told you that you already know exactly what to do to get more of them?  It’s so much easier to replicate success than it is to pioneer a new path. But how do you know what “success” to replicate? Ask good questions. True to the theme for this season, I share in this episode a powerful question I use all the time to simplify marketing planning and help consultants get clients faster.  Fun fact: I even created an entire 24-lesson course from this question!  In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, I reveal a simple way to predict where your next 5 clients will come from, making it easier for you to get into action and go get them.  KEY POINTS: 00:00 Introduction 02:11 How I turned the answers to this question into a 24-lesson course 04:07 What you’re really looking for when you dig deeper into this question 05:35 Create intentionality around referrals 06:52 The risk to your business of sole source lead gen 08:20 What the pandemic taught about getting clients 10:25 The perfect number to build your pipeline of potential clients 13:12 The fastest way to get new clients 14:10 How your next clients will find you Taking information you learn from a very simple question can help you create marketing strategies that work for your business.

“If you had to add $100,000 in the next 30 days, what would you do?” If you want massive growth in the shortest amount of time, just trick your brain into thinking you need to generate $100K in the next 30 days. It’s actually not a trick. I ask this question countless times in my own business and with clients, and the pressure of a 30-day deadline sends the brain searching for some of the best actionable ideas that it might not access otherwise. In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, I walk you through the process that I use including the guidelines that will help you generate creative ideas to bring money into your business fast. KEY POINTS: I encourage you to do this fun thought experiment proactively and preemptively because it really has real-world applications.

“If you're willing to let go of the struggle and stop believing that everything has to be hard, then you can embrace easy and have a better time in your business.​​” In the early years I was really struggling in my business. Struggling to grow, to figure out who I needed to work with. Struggling with just doing EVERYTHING in the business myself. And that struggle went on for years. I knew the results I was getting were not aligned with what I wanted for my business. But then I heard a question that made my whole body relax and say, “Yes, please.”  Struggle looks different to different people and in this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, I share the most common struggles consultants experience. More importantly, I will tell you the game-changing question that took me out of struggle once and for all, as well as three steps you can take today to turn that question into practical actions. KEY POINTS: 00:00 Introduction 02:20 Common struggles for consultants 04:10 The danger of staying in your “stress zone”  07:02 Beliefs that serve you in adopting ease 09:16 The role of passion and preparation in ease 11:37 Reflect on a challenging experience that actually wasn’t 12:55 Imagine unruly tasks in a new way 13:51 The 6-word cure for overwhelm  You’ll have a more profitable, joyful consultancy when you stop believing that everything must be hard.

"We use non-negotiables to assert our values, protect ourselves and then create boundaries so that we can do our best work." What are the things about which you will not negotiate?  There are always going to be areas for compromise. But I want you to know what you won’t budge on (like not working by the hour, not giving discounts, not taking calls on Fridays, not getting paid beneath a certain number, or anything else you need).  Whatever it is for you, the key is that you stand firm around the things that are important to you. When you’re clear on your values, that becomes easier to discern. In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, I look at common situations consultants experience and how to come up with decision-making criteria to figure out your non-negotiables.  Key areas discussed: One of the most empowering things we can do is build work that allows us to bring our full selves without compromise, with all of our creativity—and the way to do that is with safe boundaries, including what we never negotiate.  Learn more in this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/t9wseBW_6DQ or your favorite podcast app: www.samanthahartley.com/blog-podcast.

“What if instead of 25 clients in a year, you had a base of 5 clients you worked with over the course of the whole year? And instead of $5,000 per client, it was $100,000 or $75,000? You would have the foundation of a business that would give you peace of mind.” So many consultants come to me living in the land of one-offs. They might have 25 clients in a year, mainly doing one-time projects. One-offs keep you on the Revenue Rollercoaster, and they don’t allow you to do your most impactful work. I too did one-offs for years when I first started, and what I saw was that the results my clients got wouldn’t stick. There just isn’t enough time in one-offs to get to the root cause issue and really solve it. I was missing out on the opportunity to make a bigger, more lasting impact, and to build a reputation for doing so.  I want you to say no to one-offs—and that takes courage. However, if you keep saying yes to what you don’t want, you’re just going to keep getting more and more of it. Tune in to this episode of the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast to learn how to escape the land of one-offs for a more profitable, joyful business where you can really shine.

“By the time women are 12 years old, they have been completely trained with, ‘Say whatever you want to say, but don't upset anybody and be nice.’” - Tracy Goodwin   Women are programmed to be nice and quiet, to ask permission, to be tentative, to make all these sounds that make a person go, “Nope, I don’t want to listen to her.” We’re often stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to using our voices and expressing ourselves fully.  If you ask this episode’s guest, Voice Coach & Communication Consultant Tracy Goodwin, we have to start on the inside to change all those stories, to change the foundation that was given to us that we never asked for. That’s how we start to bring our real, authentic selves through in our lives and businesses to build more genuine connections, own what we’re putting out there, be more seen and heard, and get more clients.  Tune in to this episode of the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast to learn how to be a more effective and captivating communicator - and increase sales! - by working with your voice (and voice stories).  We discuss: 00:34 Introduction 05:42 Key challenges women experience related to using their voice 08:40 How Tracy helped a client who was already doing webinars and presentations figure out her voice stories and work with them to let her real authenticity come through 14:28 Ways women experience voice issues in their personal and professional lives What the research says about voice and money 27:07 The five elements of powerful vocals 34:12 What to shift in your voice to make sales easier 41:27 How Tracy learned to give people better feedback about voice as a former people pleaser 45:38 Speaking in ways that show who you really are 50:19 Who Tracy works with  Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2fyQaQBrpJA or listen on your favorite podcast app: www.SamanthaHartley.com/Blog-Podcast.

“Better and more sleep means you're going to be a better consultant.” As consultants, we can't be chronically under-rested. You need to be at your best. And if you're trying to build your company and really bring value to your clients, then you have to take care of yourself. You’ve got to sleep better, sleep more, and get quality sleep so you’re refreshed and regenerated. The cornerstone of self-care is really good sleep, but getting it isn’t always easy. From life situations to health conditions to beliefs we hold, there can be plenty blocking us from getting the quality sleep we need.  Tune in to this episode of the Profitable Joyful consulting podcast to learn why we don’t get the sleep we need and how to get better sleep to be the best possible version of yourself.  Key areas discussed:  Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/o0VoRElibe0 or listen on your favorite app: www.samanthahartley.com/blog-podcast to learn how to prioritize sleep as a consultant (and why you should).

“I want you to command prices that are commensurate with the value you are bringing your clients.” I see male consultants charging $300,000+ for an engagement, but I’ll see a woman consultant really struggle to say a number like $30,000 for similar work. There are tons of reasons for that (which we’ll get into in this episode), but the bottom line is: I want you to charge what you want for your services. I want women consultants to ask for hundreds of thousands of dollars and get it. And you can. I know this because I’ve done it, and I help my clients do it, too. In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, I’m sharing some brutally honest observations when it comes to gender disparities in charging what our worth is work and what women can do to charge the price they’re looking for.  So much of this is kept secret, but it doesn’t have to be that way.  Key areas discussed: Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nl5gv3fAnqA or listen on your favorite podcast app: www.SamanthaHartley.com/blog-podcast.  #Consulting #Pricing

"So many of us are taught to be hidden gems and to wait for someone else to choose you.” - Lisa Bragg Do you struggle to talk about yourself, share your amazing work, ask for testimonials, and share your success stories? Way too many women do - and it affects their ability to get clients, charge higher prices and earn more.  It shouldn’t be that way!  Talking about the good you do can feel like bragging. It often feels unnatural.  It comes up against cultural programming about what we are and aren't supposed to do, be and say as women. Well, I say: ENOUGH! It’s time to claim your successes and speak up about them. ** As we all know, if you don’t, no one else will. ** Lisa Bragg is the author of a new book called Bragging Rights on how to talk about success. Lisa joined me on this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting to flip the cultural script and share how to talk about your work using purposeful self-promotion.  Key areas discussed: Get inspired to be your biggest self possible in this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/z9Syo2FEWuw or your favorite podcast app: www.SamanthaHartley.com/blog-podcast.

“You can’t sustainably do everything yourself.”  How do we ask for help? Why is it so hard to do that? And how can we do so without destroying credibility, making ourselves feel weak, or making others think we’re unreliable? I work with a lot of fiercely independent women who are absolutely killing it. Many of them are telling themselves the same stories I used to tell myself about why I shouldn’t ask for help: I don’t want to look like I can’t handle it. I don’t want to ruin my reputation, make myself too vulnerable, or be needy.  But you're going to get yourself to a point beyond which you can't really grow. You have to be able to ask others for help and lose some pieces of control. In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, learn how to ask for help in letting go of control (like having someone help you do things so you’re doing less). Key areas discussed: Tune in to this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting to learn why (and how) you should ask for help in your business.

“Do you tend to give away your power? And if so, to whom?” I grew up in an environment where women were very much in competition with one another, and I told myself it was easier to deal with men. It was super destructive, but empowering other women wasn’t always a priority for me.&nbsp; It took time, but eventually I realized how much I had internalized misogyny and patriarchy (and how much I believed those were my own ideas). It’s not about competing, it’s about raising other women up together.&nbsp; From time to time, I’ll see little pieces of internalized misogyny and patriarchy creeping up on myself and my clients. In this episode of the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast, we’ll explore the ways we tend to give our power away and how we can empower other women in our work.

“Don't wait until some point in the future to enjoy financial freedom and independence.” Like so many of my clients, before working for myself I had miserable jobs that made me feel trapped, frustrated, and depressed. When I left corporate, I vowed that I would never put myself in that position again.&nbsp; But too often, we become our own bad bosses - overworking, underpaying ourselves, saying yes to the wrong things and keeping ourselves stuck. In my business, the freedom to choose what I want to do is absolutely key. There’s no amount of profit that’s more important than that.&nbsp; I want you to experience freedom in your business, too. Tune into this special Independence Day episode of the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast to learn how to build financial freedom and independence in your business.

“Being good with money is having a set of skills, and none of us are good at any skill until we use it and we practice it.” - Jenifer Sapel&nbsp; What financial principles do you need to know both as a consultant and as a woman entrepreneur?&nbsp; Most of my clients are women, and a lot of them are reluctant to talk about money. They’ve always delegated that to someone else or expected someone else to do it.

“A passion project is something that you work on because you're excited about it, and it puts a spark back into a relationship.” Do you have a passion project? In romantic relationships, most people acknowledge that our partners can’t be our be-all, end-all. We need to have other interests, hobbies, and friendships. Requiring one person to meet all of our needs puts too much pressure on them and on the relationship. It’s the same thing with our businesses. They shouldn’t be the be-all, end-all of excitement and fulfillment for us either. That’s where passion projects come in.&nbsp; Tune in to this episode of the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast to hear about my current passion project, 5 reasons to pursue a passion project, and why passion projects might just be the antidote to overworking ;)&nbsp; Key areas discussed: Tune in to this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/JNphqh-YKrk or your favorite podcast app: http://www.samanthahartley.com/blog-podcast&nbsp;to learn why a passion project might just be the best thing you can do for yourself and your business this year. #PassionProject #Consulting #Overwork&nbsp; 🔔 Subscribe for more! ➡️ http://bit.ly/PJCYTsub&nbsp; ​​ WATCH ✅ How to Deal with Burnout and Boredom in Your Business ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6g79N_KvQw&nbsp; WATCH ✅Self-Care: The Secret of Successful Consultants ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc-YaKOBeuA&nbsp; READ ✅The Definitive Guide to Winning Six-Figure Clients ➡️ http://6figureclients.com/ &nbsp; DOWNLOAD ✅Shield App for LinkedIn ➡️https://www.shieldapp.ai/?via=samantha &nbsp; --------------- For more tips to help you create a profitable, joyful business without exhaustion​, follow me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthahartley/ or https://www.facebook.com/samantha.hartley.71/ P.S.

“Assessments help you have a conversation that is balanced between the intuitive and the more data-driven.” How can you discover more of your strengths, skills, talents, and gifts? One way is through personality assessments.&nbsp; Through personality assessments, you can learn more about who you are as a leader and as a person (because you’re both!). Critics say personality assessments are unscientific, or worse, that they reinforce bias and discrimination. But 80% of Fortune 500 companies reportedly use them, so I thought it would be interesting to look into them more closely with an expert.&nbsp; Claire Chandler has been helping leadership teams work together more effectively in less time with less cultural resistance to accelerate business growth for over 25 years. In this episode, she joins me to share a fresh perspective on assessments and how you can use them to drive better results.&nbsp; Key areas discussed:&nbsp; Tune into this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fizDgFMP6Pw or your favorite podcast app: http://www.samanthahartley.com/blog-podcast. to learn how assessments can help you know yourself better and by doing so, build a more profitable and joyful consultancy. #PersonalityAssessments #Consulting&nbsp; --------------- 🔔 Subscribe for more! ➡️ http://bit.ly/PJCYTsub&nbsp; ​​ WATCH ✅ Self-Leadership with CK Lin ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVlm29WsqL0&nbsp; WATCH ✅Drive Leadership and Culture with Brittany Drozd ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6bY3S_q00s&nbsp; READ ✅The Definitive Guide to Winning Six-Figure Clients ➡️ http://6figureclients.com/ &nbsp; DOWNLOAD ✅Shield App for LinkedIn ➡️https://www.shieldapp.ai/?via=samantha &nbsp; LEARN ✅More about taking Claire’s assessment and working with her ➡️ ClaireChandler.Net CONNECT ✅With Claire on LinkedIn ➡️https://www.linkedin.com/in/clairechandlersphr/&nbsp; --------------- For more tips to help you create a profitable, joyful business without exhaustion​, follow me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthahartley/ or https://www.facebook.com/samantha.hartley.71/ P.S.

“When you work with a base of 5-10 clients long-term, you tend to get fantastic results so your clients will renew and send you a lot of referrals, which creates a self-perpetuating business.”&nbsp;Traditional consulting businesses are mostly made up of one-off projects.
