Episode 49: Stop wasting money on more courses

December 22, 2021 15:09 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MB

Welcome to episode 49. I don’t know about you, but I love to learn.  I love books, podcasts, courses – pretty much anything that can teach me how to be better.  But what I’ve discovered is that learning comes with a double edge sword. It’s something that helps propel you forward, while at the same time it holds you back. This past week in our SFL Mastermind we’ve been talking a whole lot about taking courses and when is the right time to upskill and increase your capability in a spec...

December 07, 2021 05:00 - 33 minutes - 31.8 MB

Welcome to episode 48. How often have you discounted, or devalued a characteristic, skill, or something different or unique about you? Or have you had an inkling of a talent or ability that came somewhat easily to you only to dismiss it as nothing special and that everyone else must also do this thing you do with the same ease and flow. Or even better, you’ve got this unique ability, and you push it to the side saying you want it to look this way or to be more of that or be more like h...

Episode 47: How fear is holding you back from more sales.

November 30, 2021 05:00 - 20 minutes - 20 MB

Welcome to episode 47. On the agenda today is one of my favorite topics – fear! I do love talking about fear and the infamous ways it tries to block us from moving forward to share our gifts, services and change we are here to make. Its objective is to keep you safe, however selling can feel a far cry from feeling secure, certain and safe. Needless to say, that four letter word - fear can become synonymous with it’s terror inducing relative – sell. So in today’s episode we’re going...

November 23, 2021 05:00 - 24 minutes - 23.6 MB

Welcome to episode 46. How do you have time for the things that are most important and dear to you. I know working in this covid time with everyone at home and not having space to think or get your work done has been challenging to say the least. Finding time to go pee can even be hard some days.

Episode 43: How to overcome comparisitis.

October 26, 2021 04:00 - 21 minutes - 20.4 MB

Welcome to episode 43. Do you compare yourself to others? Do you look at what they have going on and think you’re less than or not good enough because you don’t have as many followers, connections, or a fancy Instagram page like they do? Are you evaluating yourself, your results, or your business against industry success stories? Basically, are you comparing your beginning or middle to their end? Are you wishing you could be somewhere other than where you are, right now in this moment?...

Episode 42: Stop Breaking Promises You Make to Yourself

October 19, 2021 04:00 - 24 minutes - 23.2 MB

Welcome to episode 42. Can you keep a promise? I’d say you’re much better at keeping promises to a loved one, friend or colleague than you are keeping them to yourself. I know I am. If you asked me to write a blog for you or teach a workshop on a topic you are passionate about or talk to a few friends about your services and how you can help them – and I promised to do that for you - come hell or high water, you bet I would get it done for you. So why does the buck stop as soon as we s...

October 12, 2021 04:00 - 19 minutes - 18.7 MB

Welcome to episode 41. Where does confidence come from? It’s something most of us strive for yet struggle with.  You need confidence to start a business, write a blog, or share your opinion on social media. We need confidence to speak in front of a crowd and confidence to invite a client to work with us. Some days you have it and other days it’s like it was never there. So how do you get some? Some of that often flighty and temperamental confidence. I believe that the degree to w...

Episode 35: Mindset Breakthrough Strategies with Kimberly Olson

August 17, 2021 04:00 - 42 minutes - 39.8 MB

Many people fall into the trap that if they just get the right name for their business or service, or the perfect logo, or the impeccable website design, then that will lead them to a successful business they love and makes a difference. Building a business that earns more profit, reaches more clients, and makes a positive impact is more than that. Those aspects of your business are important; however, they are the transactional parts – not the transformational ones that will change you, y...

Episode 34: How to Passionately Love Selling with Annie P. Ruggles

August 10, 2021 04:00 - 48 minutes - 45.7 MB

Perfection, in theory, is a great thing-- but any self-described “perfectionist” knows striving for flawlessness can quickly set you back.  For those of us that are naturally hardworking and driven it can be easy to get caught in this perfection trap.  It’s good to work hard and want more for yourself but oftentimes this desire to achieve is tampered when you get too caught up in how big your goals are.  Imperfectly Ambitious is about balancing your drive to do big things with an acceptanc...

Episode 32: Create Belief Systems That Attract Communities with Patrick Hanlon

July 06, 2021 04:00 - 49 minutes - 46 MB

You don’t buy something because you’re attached to the product.  You buy something because you’re attached to a feeling you can associate with the product.  People aren’t dedicated to a brand because they love the logo.  No-- they’re dedicated to what a brand allows them to believe. Your clients are seeking a specific feeling and experience.  If your brand can create belief systems that attract communities, your brand will stand the test of time. My guest today is Patrick Hanlon, author ...

Episode 31: How to Unlock a Power of your Own with Nikki Groom

June 22, 2021 04:00 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MB

What makes you feel confident walking into a new room?  For a lot of us our automatic response might feel “feeling prepared.”  Feeling like you know everything and can take on anything.  And while that sounds good in theory, I’d argue true confidence involves being comfortable with the idea that you don’t have to know everything. I call it the “in the know trap.”  This need to be a subject matter expert and read every resource possible can sometimes be a sign of fear.  It’s like the fear o...

Episode 30: Tame your Inner Critic with Tara-Nicholle Kirke

June 15, 2021 04:00 - 52 minutes - 48.9 MB

“You’re your own biggest critic” is a maxim we’re all familiar with, but the real question is why.  Or more importantly how, do we overcome these negative thoughts and patterns?  In my book, Sell From Love, I talk about fear and how universal these feelings can be.   The reason we sell from fear goes hand in hand with the reasons we keep ourselves down with that inner critic voice: self-preservation and protection. My guest today Tara-Nicholle Kirke, is a globally-recognized transforma...

Episode 29: Breaking Money Silence with Kathleen Burns Kingsbury

June 08, 2021 04:00 - 44 minutes - 41.5 MB

Polite people don’t talk about money.  Right?  Many of us were raised with this adage but haven’t considered the ways this old-school taboo can hurt us in the long run.  That’s why today we’re breaking money silence.   As a salesperson your beliefs about money play a large role in your results and techniques.  How you feel about money will have a direct impact in how much or how little you sell.

Episode 25: Your Self-Worth is not for Sale.

May 11, 2021 04:00 - 25 minutes - 23.9 MB

There’s nothing quite as validating, as when you describe a struggle you’ve experienced and someone responds: yes, I know exactly what you mean.  Even when if it’s a negative feeling you’re bonding over, you can take comfort in knowing you are not alone. This is a feeling I’ve experienced time and time again while interviewing entrepreneurs and coaches for my Sell From Love podcast.  It’s interesting the way the same topics and feelings have come up with my different guests over the past f...

Episode 24: How I Got Caught Selling from Fear

May 04, 2021 04:00 - 19 minutes - 18.8 MB

Learning to sell from love doesn’t mean being perfect. On today’s episode of the Sell From Love podcast, I’m sharing a personal story about uncertainty, selling from fear—and most importantly returning to selling from love. Fear doesn’t always have to be personal but can be triggered by your environment.  Or in my case, triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic last year. Fear and uncertainty in the system can knock us out of alignment but embracing sell from love means learning to recognize ...

Episode 23: Find Your Dream Career with Michelle Arpin Begina

April 27, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 56.1 MB

Doctor.  Lawyer.  Teacher.  What do you want to be when you grow up?  Reports suggest the average person will change careers 5-7 times over the course of their working life.  This doesn’t necessarily mean it take 7 tries to find the right job for you, but instead is proof positive that we as humans are constantly evolving. Who you are today is not the same person you were when you started in your career or industry.  How are you different? What has changed for you since then? What do you w...

Episode 22: Set Yourself Free by Setting Boundaries with Lisa Danforth There's Freedom in Limitations.

April 20, 2021 04:00 - 51 minutes - 48.2 MB

At first glance setting a boundary can sound restrictive and final.  But what if I told you that in limiting yourself you can also be liberating yourself.  When you set a boundary, you’re not solely closing yourself off, but instead you’re opening yourself up to accept what’s best for you.  Every time you say no, you are saying yes to something else. Boundaries demonstrate your value and give you the freedom to change your life. Today’s guest Lisa Danforth, Business Strategist and Leader...

Episode 21: Get Unstoppable Confidence with Kc Rossi

April 13, 2021 04:00 - 51 minutes - 48.3 MB

One of the questions I ask before going in to work with a team is “what do you want to learn.”  While I’ve definitely seen a wide range of answers in my 10+ years of coaching there is one consistent response: I want to be confident.    If you’ve ever tried to sell anything you understand how important confidence can be during the sales interaction.  How do you find the strength you need to put yourself out there, ask a client to work with you and buy your services?  Confidence.   Simple ...

April 06, 2021 04:00 - 38 minutes - 35.7 MB

What are you working towards, really?  Often in business we lose sight of our end goal and focus instead on strategy, sales, and results.  We lose sight of who we are really working for.   If focussing on the outcomes is the right thing to do, why can it feel so wrong?  The book The Go-Giver validated all of these feelings for me and explained why a revenue-centric model may be stopping you from achieving those revenue goals.  My guest today is Bob Burg. Bob is a sought-after speaker at ...

March 30, 2021 04:00 - 42 minutes - 40.1 MB

“You are your own worst enemy.”  This is a saying we’re all familiar with and, if we’re being honest, has been true for all of us at one point or another.  It’s human to doubt ourselves from time to time.  However, we as humans also hold the power to overcome these negative thoughts.  Today’s guest is offering a solution: mental toughness.  If the thing getting in your way is your own mental blocks, then only you have the power to conquer those obstacles and achieve your highest goals.    ...

Episode 17: Bring more YOU into your Business

March 16, 2021 04:00 - 20 minutes - 19.6 MB

Protection strategies.   Needing to prove, to be perfect, to please, and to perform.  Wanting so badly to meet expectations that you start doubting and changing yourself to fit a mould.  I’ve been there.    I know what it feels like to be l afraid in situations where there's uncertainty and how tempting it can be to contort yourself trying to make other people happy.  Until I got to the point where I had to say, you know what, I'm just going to be me and see what happens.  Since then I’v...

Episode 15: Do You Fear Rejection? You Need Rejection to Get to a Yes with Andrea Waltz

March 02, 2021 05:00 - 44 minutes - 41.5 MB

In my research, 82% of people do not consistently put themselves out there asking or inviting clients to work with them. We tell ourselves, we don’t have time, we’re too busy or we’ll get to it tomorrow. But tomorrow never comes, as the same reasons stand in the way. The #1 reason we don’t put ourselves out there is fear. Fear of failure, fear of judgement and fear of rejection. It’s hard to put yourself out there to get that dreaded no. But do you know what’s harder – the impact of not ev...

Episode 13: What is Your Brand Saying? Be The Face of Your Business with Laura Beauparlant

February 16, 2021 05:00 - 52 minutes - 48.9 MB

Have you ever downplayed a success or diminished yourself to avoid others from feeling badly? Your kind, compassionate and empathetic heart knows what it’s like when someone is not hit their stride or having the same success as you. But what if you’re using empathy muscles all wrong here. Thinking about how someone else will feel in a situation is a good thing.  But not if it requires you to diminish, downplay or devalue yourself, your work or your impact. Instead of reducing yoursel...

Episode 12: Identify What’s Not Working as an Opportunity to Transform. with Tara McMullin

February 09, 2021 05:00 - 54 minutes - 50.3 MB

Have you ever gone after something, achieved a goal or fulfilled a dream only to have it not turn out as you thought it would? We usually tell ourselves if we get the job, get a certain type of client or if you learned how to lead or sell like John or Jane, then did we’d be happier, more successful and feel fulfilled. But when we finally get there, the bill of goods we bought into was not all that it what cracked up to be. Some people will settle and say, it’s just the way it is. Oth...

January 12, 2021 05:00 - 39 minutes - 37.1 MB

When you walk in a room, turn on your video for a Zoom call or make a presentation to your team or a potential client – how do you want to be seen? What do you want them to say, think and feel about You? Now I don’t enjoy spending a whole of time on thinking about what I’m going to wear or even shopping for my wardrobe.  I’d rather spend time in a bookstore than a clothing boutique. But I do value style, feeling good and using what I wear as an expression of who I am. My guest today,...

In this episode with best selling author, scientist and physiologist Dr.Greg Wells, we talk about the importance of taking time to slow down to speed up.

Episode 5: When Do We Speak Up? How Do You Want to Be Heard? with Andrea Wenburg

December 22, 2020 05:00 - 47 minutes - 44.3 MB
