Today’s episode is all about how to engage clients and customers by sharing your unique and a specific process to help them reach their goals even before they become customers. Drawing from the first module of my Fearless Launching program, I’m sharing a strategy for creating a roadmap of your offerings, allowing potential clients to understand the journey they will embark upon. You’ll learn: Why it’s so important to define your transformation process How to decide on you three to five steps or more to start sharing with your audience Why this process gives you the keys to communicate more effectively as you’re launching, selling, and marketing your offers to your audience. We’ll talk about how sharing your process up front helps to build engagement before your launch, by helping clients see where they fit within your process, thereby enhancing self-awareness and accelerating the readiness to enroll. You’ll also learn why I believe this strategy is an important cornerstone for improving your offers and communication across platforms, ultimately leading to more effective launches.

With all the talk online about how to scale your business, you might think that means you need to automate, set up some evergreen funnels, and be good to go. But is it that simple? Scaling means growing...and you get to choose how that happens and what it looks like for you. Today, I'll walk you through 4 questions I've been exploring and why they give you the clarity you need to start actually making your own plan to scale.

It's Monday - time to refocus...but before we do let's talk about hitting the delete button. As online creators, sometimes we get in our heads about our content. We want it to be amazing, valuable...and we don't want to embarrass ourselves or regret posting something. Let's get into it and talk about why hitting delete isn't always bad!

Today, we're going through some key pros and cons of changing the tech in your business. Whether it's just one thing like a plugin for your website or it's the whole platform your website is hosted on...it's a good idea to think through any impact it could have on your business. Usually, if it's a bigger tool or something that handles your website, communicating with your customers and leads, or housing your courses and products, you'll want to take a little extra time before you decide. Listen in and start asking questions now - because whether you're moving or not, you can still get yourself organized for the inevitable changes you will want to make in the future.

Welcome to your weekly refocus session. Today, we're talking all about procrastination and why understanding what might be causing yours is so important. Is it a habit?

Listen in today and try the simple strategy I used to get this podcast up and running again. Take the next 30 minutes through your week and decide what you'll focus on this week.

In today's episode, I'll be talking about 7 (or so) qualities of being a better boss and leader. Whether you work alone or have a large team (or just a few people working with you), now's a great time to get your leadership game in place. Being a boss is more than being a visionary who has everyone else "do the work." We go into the following qualities: Don’t blame people on your audience or publicly. Let people do their jobs. DO NOT do community looms and expect everyone to follow along with your rattling of ideas/thoughts and half-thought-out projects. Clarify people’s tasks/roles and stick to them. Don’t hire close friends unless there’s a clear understanding of the end. Respect over Passive Aggressive Disrespect. Stop making everything personal. Be Approachable. Check in. Make sure to check out our Monday Refocus sessions - a quick episode to get your inspired, motivated, and re-focused for the week ahead! You'll also get invited to a free refocus session with me!

Welcome to another refocus session. This week, along with the regular prompt to determine what you're focused on...we're talking about something that is bound to come up when things don't go well and that's blame. Blame happens on all types of projects--business, creative, personal. And the one thing you can count on is that blame stops any progress you are making.

Today we’re talking about why you need to have some Easy Mode projects in the mix of your biz and how to make them happen. If you list out all the things you do in your business - the different types of projects, the different responsibilities, things you create, people you meet with… how many of them feel a tad heavy, maybe slightly stressful…and how many of them feel easy, light, and just a joy to do. Now, we can’t have ONLY easy tasks in our business…we can love the easy and the more challenging things…but we can build in more things into our work that feel easy, that have a high ROI on our limited investment and time spent.
