On this episode, I wanted to chat about success in your business and what that looks like for you. Success means something different to everyone, even if they’re in the same business as you. It's easy to get lost in comparing ourselves to others and fall down that rabbit hole toward self-doubt. What you need to be focused on when you’re talking about understanding whether you’re gaining success or not, is how you are moving the needle toward achieving your goals, not someone else's. In this episode:[1:17] “You’ll never be taken seriously because of the size of your Instagram following.”[7:45] What is your WHY?[8:46] Do you have the right support system?[11:13] Success is not a linear path[12:29] Give yourself time on this journeyLinks in this episode: [14:42] Impact: A Business Community for Passionate Entrepreneurs in the MakingLet’s get friendly on social: FacebookInstagramI’d love to hear from you!

This week, I’m joined by a really special guest. And it's actually my husband, Mike! I wanted to have a conversation about it's like to be partnered with someone who’s an entrepreneur when you’re not one and what it takes in a relationship to make this life work. I don’t think enough people are talking about this from the spouse’s point of view. There’s always been this misconception that entrepreneurs lead such glamourous lives skipping down beaches and pulling in 6 or 7-figures. The reality is, it's so much more than that. It's really hard work, and it can take a toll on yourself and your family. In this episode:[6:00] Rock n’ Roll to working for the government? [12:02] What’s the hardest part of being married to an entrepreneur?[16:51] We both know I do not like working for other people[20:31] Are there any benefits to being married to an entrepreneur?[26:36] How has my focus on building my business impacted our marriage?[32:32] Any advice to fellow spouses?[35:44] Be supportive!

I’m thrilled! This week I’m joined by a really special guest, Chelsea Wallace, also known as The Launch Copy Coach. She is phenomenal! We take it for granted too often that burnout is just the price you pay for being an entrepreneur, but Chelsea has other thoughts on that! She joined me on this episode to talk openly about launching without burning out and how to avoid running yourself into the ground trying to build your business. This is a must listen! Chelsea was a speaker at The Entrepreneur Conference I had earlier this year and I knew I had to get her back for a podcast episode. She shares so much wisdom, gold and honesty in this episode. I really hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! Chelsea Wallace is a Launch Strategist and Copywriter who has helped hundreds of online brands execute multi-5 and 6 figure marketing campaigns, grossing up to $1,500,000 in revenue. As The Launch Copy Coach and a Launch Burnout Coach, she supports high-ticket coaches who have burned out trying to create a multi-5 or 6-figure launch so they can get back to launching with those high-dollar results BUT without running on empty and without the burnout.InstagramFacebook WebsitePodcast In this episode:[6:03] How did your journey start?[13:29] Why is so important to address burnout when launching?[23:12] Stripe account?[26:11] Messaging is a HUGE deal![32:20] Step away and disconnect from the launch[39:26] Two pieces of adviceHelpful Links:Impact: A Business Community for Passionate Entrepreneurs in the MakingLet’s get friendly on social: FacebookInstagramI’d love to hear from you!

Welcome to The Impactful Life Podcast. (Formerly the Hey Spark Plug! Podcast)Notice anything new? I did some pretty deep soul searching recently and realized some changes needed to be made within my own business. This was a journey that I had to go through within my business to realize that there were things that weren't going the right way. More than anything else, I wasn’t showing up the way that I wanted to be showing up for myself and for my community. On this episode of my 'new' podcast, I wanted to talk a little about that journey and why I was playing small in my business by playing it safe. This is the start of something new and special... the start of an Impactful Life. Come along for the journey! In this episode:[4:36] There’s no playbook[6:16] The conversation with a mindset coach that changed my mindset![12:46] You have to show up BIG! [13:52] What can you expect moving forward?

On this episode we’re talking all about how to build a business for good! I am a big believer that if you want to make a significant social change, you should be starting a business. And that business is a Social Enterprise (Don’t worry! It's just a fancy way of saying a business for good). Building a business for good combines the advocacy of a non-profit with a business for profit. It’s all about aligning making profit in your business while supporting, advocating, and making a lasting impact in the world. In this episode:[2:58] What’s a social enterprise?[6:25] Buy one, give one business model[9:51] Remove the charity aspect from something and people will listen to you differently[11:10] Fill the market need![11:50] Advocacy based social enterprise[14:33] Thinking about starting a nonprofit?
