Abundance Bound

Today we're going to talk about what it means to be someone who is abundance bound.

As this tumultuous, historic year comes to a close (finally), I wanted to offer you a conversation that could help nurture a sense of hope about what is possible for you as you enter a brand new year.

I invited my dear friend and colleague, Miata Edoga to join us for this little end-of-an-era chat because there is no one better to talk about the concept of abundance and being bound for abundance than the woman who named her financial education company exactly that: Abundance Bound.

Today we're going to talk about the value of being aware of how your past traumas may be influencing the decisions you are making and the dynamics you are creating in your current business.

Very often, when trauma is mentioned, our minds often go to what the therapeutic world calls Big T traumas… but, by the time we get to adulthood, many of us have experienced a series of Little t traumas, and these seemingly insignificant childhood experiences can have a very significant impact on our adult lives and livelihoods.

I invited business therapist and mindset coach Nicole Lewis-Keeber to join us for this conversation. As you'll see, she has the credentials, the insights, and the skills to help small business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders create emotionally sustainable and financially stable businesses.

Most everyone says they want more money... but far too many side hustlers are afraid or uncomfortable to even talk about it or ask for it. But settling for a muddy exchange of money feels weird and will never serve you well. You want to know your number – whether it's the precise amount you are getting paid, the precise amount you owe someone, or the precise amount you need to raise.

In this episode, you'll hear Dennis and Kristine dive into five different money situations in which he will benefit greatly by stepping up and committing to doing business.

When you are facing any type of challenge in business or in life, it is your self-talk – the stories you choose to tell yourself – that will usually make or break you.

In this episode, you'll hear Dennis share how he's adjusting to a life where he's his own boss – he's in charge of his schedule, his workflow, his marketing, AND, most importantly, his mindset. Kristine offers him – and you – some tactics that you can use to shift your perspective when you find your mind spinning with anxiety or focusing on the negative.

Kristine also offer some tactics that you can use to when marketing your side hustle at events and when introducing yourself to prospective clients and new funnel people.

Today we're going to talk about how to fill a class or a workshop (live or virtual).

I'm going to walk you through the 8 marketing steps that will help you put "butts in seats" – even if you don't have a large audience of your own.

You CAN do this! Everyone does their first event on wobbly legs... but doing your first event is the only way you get to your second event... and I promise, as you build your business muscles, marketing and expanding your reach does get easier.

On this day before Thanksgiving, there are 3 things I'd like you to know...

Today we're catching up with Dennis Hensley and the hilarious card game that he co-created called You Don't Know My Life.

If you've been listening to the bonus episodes of this podcast, you've been hearing a series of coaching sessions between Dennis and me where we've talked about his creation of the game and the tweaks and iterations that he and his partner, Jeb Havens, were making to it. Those coaching sessions ended just as they were figuring out how to raise the initial funds they would need to place the production order for their first batch of games.

A lot of unpredictable things have happened between May of 2018 and now – including a global pandemic – and I think you will find this next chapter of Dennis' story fun and inspiring, especially if you are interested in bringing an idea for a physical product to market.

How you talk about what your side hustle has to offer will have a direct effect on your bottom line. Of course, you should never lie, but you can put the most positive spin on the truth as possible. Rather than worry about how potential clients are going to judge him and his product, Kristine shows Dennis how to use language to teach clients how they should be evaluating what he has to offer.

Also in this episode, Kristine suggests a plan of action that would enable Dennis to raise the money he needs in the time frame that he has to pay a company to produce the first physical sets of his board game before the end of this year.

This episode marks the half-way point of Dennis' work with Kristine. He continues to bet on himself, utilizing both bold moves and important but small baby steps to move his side hustle(s) forward.

In this episode, Kristine reminds Dennis – and you – the importance of having contracts and clear agreements in place, especially when doing business with friends.

Today I'm taking to all the Cashflow Tigers out there – and I'm offering you a roadmap that lets you clearly see what I think is the shortest and simplest path between you and even more cash.

(Cashflow Tigers are folks who are generating consistent monthly income with their biz but are now focused on expanding their marketing and/or add a new offering to their biz.)

Tigers often get excited about expanding their business by adding offers and options and courses and new product lines... but increasing cash flow requires being strategic, staying focused, and building one new thing at a time. ------------------------
