I’m willing to bet that NONE of these are the reasons you went into business or became a coach.

August 15, 2023 18:00 - 32 minutes - 26.3 MBOne of my business mottos is We Rise Together––which means that when you find that great collaboration with another business, everyone wins.

March 23, 2023 23:09 - 26 minutes - 24.8 MBThe #1 thing entrepreneurs tell me they want is Confidence. It's not money. It's confidence. Afterall, it takes confidence to get out there and make money. How can you have confidence with things you've never done before? Or things that make you really uncomfortable? Simple, manifest the confidence. I know, it doesn't seem simple.

February 25, 2023 16:56 - 24 minutes - 18 MBBreak the drama and self sabotage in your business by focusing on the Process, Not the Person. Let me clarify something first. When we design our products/services and processes initially we are 100% focused on the person. We are paying attention to their pain points, desires and requirements for a solution. When we shift to HOW we do our operations, including building and delivering our services, we want to focus on the process. The process needs to work. It has to be effective. ...
Episode #152 Products Designed for Learning and Doing Styles

Plus, the amount of time, effort and sometimes money is overwhelming. All of it feels worth it if it's working. Wait, what does "working" mean? Does it just mean sales? That's what your intent is, right? But what if you don't have sales yet. Does that mean that none of your marketing is working? Should you just throw in the towel and give up? Should you just hire...
Episode #149 Giving Yourself a Voice
January 20, 2023 17:03 - 44 minutes - 33.2 MBBelieve it or not, people want to hear what you have to say. Although your inner critic may be saying "I'm not an expert", "they're tuning me out", "I need to stay humble", or "this isn't helpful", it doesn't mean any of it is true.

Divorce, being newly single, being lonely during the holidays, and the ups and downs of dating create a lot of emotional turmoil. That emotional turmoil shows up in your business. Yikes! Your energy is just not the same. Sometimes you show up frazzled, angry, snippy, or start oversharing (it's a turn off to your potential clients). Or worse...you just stop performing your work functions. This is supposed to be the most won...
