The Yay for Business podcast is bringing the FUN back to business for coaches, creatives, and consultants.

In today’s episode, we are talking about your launch mindset - what comes up when you launch your online course. In last week's episode, we covered your launch strategy checklist. Everyone loves a checklist! You want something that will show you the strategy and exactly how to implement it. But here's what happens: You have the strategy and the step-by-step plan, but you’re still struggling in your business. And then the questions start coming: What am I doing wrong? Am I cut out for this? ...

February 24, 2021 14:00 - 31 minutes - 19.6 MB

In today's episode, we are diving into how to set up boundaries, and what specific boundaries you need, as a service provider. I am so excited to be talking about this with you because boundaries are my jam. Before we go any further, this episode plays directly off of episode 19, where we talk about people pleasing. So if you missed that one, I definitely recommend going back and having a listen. During the month of February I'm breaking down the three massive mistakes that all service prov...

Ep 19: People Pleasing

February 17, 2021 14:00 - 34 minutes - 22 MB

This is an episode I will be referring people back to for years to come. If you or someone you know is a people pleaser, you'll want to be sure to bookmark this episode! Many of us are considered people pleasers, which isn't always a bad thing. However, I'm passionate about reframing this concept. This is people pleasing like you've never understood it before. We start by diving deep into the two core myths that surround people pleasing and what they have to do with making other people happ...

Ep 18: How to Price Your Services

February 10, 2021 14:00 - 33 minutes - 30.2 MB

The number one question I get from service providers is, “How do I price my services?” So on today's episode, I'm going to provide you with the exact information you need to price your services - and it’s probably not going to be what you think! Every successful entrepreneur started where you are now. They had no idea where to start or how to price their services, so don’t feel like you are the only one that is completely lost. I’m going to help break down everything you need in this episod...

Ep 15: Realistic Goal Setting

January 20, 2021 14:00 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MB

Every new year there's a fun and exciting energy in the air. But January also brings a lot of baggage. There's all this pressure to choose resolutions and make big goals. Which is why I'm spending this episode talking all about realistic goal setting.  In last week’s episode, I discussed my Anti Planning strategy and the five things I hate about the old traditional way of planning. If you didn’t listen to that episode, be sure to have a listen here.   Here's my challenge for you: Instead o...

Ep 14: Anti Planning

January 13, 2021 14:00 - 30 minutes - 18.8 MB

It’s 2021! So that means everyone is planning for something big in the new year, right? But what does all that planning actually do to you? Do you find yourself getting frustrated and simply burned out with the planning process? Trust me, I get it.  Now don’t get me wrong, big picture planning and daydreaming about the future is my jam! However, I freaking hate the way traditional planning is approached. If you are the type of person who enjoys traditional planning, that’s totally fine. But...

Ep 09: Strategies for Entrepreneurs with ADHD

November 04, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 62.9 MB

In my last episode, (episode 8), I talked about my ADHD diagnosis and what ADHD is. I also shared what it meant for me when I officially got diagnosed with ADHD. I don't think I was prepared for the amount of people who would be asking me for my opinion on ADHD. After hearing from so many of you, I've decided that ADHD is going to be a big pillar topic for me moving forward. In today's episode, I dive deeper into the struggles that come with ADHD. I also talk about the biggest strengths of...

I share my story and what it meant for me when I officially got diagnosed with ADHD, as well as all the things that I learned: the positive side and the real struggles that come with ADHD.
