As business owners, one of the biggest roadblocks that we face on a day to day basis is our mindset. How we think about ourselves, our capabilities, our values, our purpose.... all of these things blended together start to create a story that we believe about ourselves! In this episode today I'm chatting with Ben Hartley, founder of Style & Story wedding photography and host of the Six Figure Photography Podcast.

Today we're chatting through how we can, as business owners, commit to keep showing up for ourselves (both in our personal lives as well as in our business).  Some of our topics that we're chatting about include:

• Not letting our stories mean something about us
• Keeping standards high and expectations low to build discipline
• Who are you going to be in this stage of your life and business?
• ... and more!

I'm excited for you to listen in and to create a game plan for how you can show up as the business owner that you DREAM of being!

As a fellow creative business owner, I know the feeling of being pulled in SO many different directions when it comes to building a brand and business that stands out in your market. We can sometimes feel so distracted by shiny objects (I mean, how FUN is it to create fun brand colors, fonts and logos?!) -- but at the same time, we forget about the more MEANINGFUL parts of our brand and business.

In today's episode, we're chatting with Nikki Arensman, brand strategist, designer, and host of The Business of Branding Podcast. And in this episode we're talking about how you can build a binge-worthy brand while staying true to YOU! Nikki is the creator of Brand Identity Breakthrough – a done-for-you branding kit that allows service providers to stand out online in an ethical way while not spending thousands on their branding! She is also a soon-to-be mother of 2, and the Former Founder & CEO of a nearly million-dollar women's activewear line, JIVA Active, which started with only a 300 $ investment!

If you've been thinking about investing $$$ in branding for your growing business, you'll want to be sure to listen in to today's episode!

Setting goals can often feel really stressful as business owners. We get so consumed with our social stats and how we're "tracking", we chase shiny objects and get distracted by the "fun" ways of growing our business -- we focus on all of this, and we lose sight of our CORE business goals. You know, the things that will actually help us to really move forward and build up momentum!

In today's episode I'm sharing my strategies around how to set better goals. We're talking through how we can shift our perspective and focus less on the EXTERNAL goals and zero in on our INTERNAL goals - the things we can more accurately MEASURE! When we shift our focus to this way of thinking, goal setting becomes WAY LESS stressful and we have a lot more fun along the journey.

Let's continue the conversation from last week, shall we?! I mentioned that burnout is one of my most requested topics -- and sure enough, I got so much positive feedback from last week's episode about it. So many of you can connect with the feeling of burnout and so I want to continue the conversation!

In today's episode, I'm sharing a recent interview that I gave on the Priority Pursuit podcast. Victoria (the host) was kind enough to share the audio file with me and it was such a high performing topic, I wanted to share it on my podcast as well! Today I'm diving into my top 5 tips on how to bounce back from burnout and get back on track with your goals.

How often do we focus our attention on productivity? If you're anything like me, the answer is: OFTEN. So many of our business strategies and goals rely on us learning how to be super efficient and hyper-productive... but what happens when that productivity leads us (unknowingly) straight into burnout?

In today's episode I'm covering 4 topics that will help you focus less on productivity and MORE on the qualities and values that will help you grow your business in a sustainable and FUN way.

Who wants a business that's thriving but is all-consuming of your entire life, leaving you with no free time of your own?!

If you've ever struggled with burnout (or maybe you're going through a season of it right now) - this episode is for you!
