Business Pathfinder

Do you want to write a book or are you having trouble finding time and motivation to complete your book?

Or… does writing a book seem like a monumental task you can't even imagine taking on even though one of your goals is to write a book?

A couple months ago, podcaster Lisa Shaughnessy interviewed me about how my book writing process on her podcast, Your Writing Retreat Connection.

I've written six books and my seventh book for all types of business owners will be released in 2024. (More information about that book to come about in the coming months.)

Lisa usually limits her interview guests to workshop retreat hosts (which I am not!) but she wanted to offer a fresh perspective for her podcast listeners who prefer writing in solitude, rather than a structured writing retreat with other writers.

You probably don't know this about me: I wrote 70% of my first book in two 3-day weekends. That's right, 70% of my first book was written in just 6 days!

In this episode, you'll hear how I created the perfect environment to spark my creativity and finish most of my first book in two long weekend solo writing retreats.

You'll also hear me share how writer's block threatened my ability to complete my book and how I changed course to get past my blocks and finish my book.

Listen as Lisa and I discuss how to create a writing process that works best, doing what's right for you, and how and why I've written books as part of my business growth strategy.

May is a financial coach in the UK who works with individuals, and she also runs a non-profit. Like a lot of business owners, she has difficulty determining what her rates should be and raising her rates and this is impacting her ability to take her business to the next financial level.

As we untangle into May's money history, it becomes clear that part of the reason for her money challenges is that she's currently on financial aid due to her son's disability and she feels guilt charging her clients who have similar challenges. And another part of her difficulty is because of some ingrained negative beliefs about money. These naturally arose from witnessing her first financial role models, her parents, and how they dealt with money.

Join me and May as we explore some money hang-ups she has – and you may be able to relate to them too!

Please note: This is Part One of my business coaching session with May. Part Two is my second session with May on Episode 46. It's recommended that you listen to this episode first before going to Part Two.

Liz is a therapist who is eager to pivot her therapy business in new ways, but she is feeling stuck. She feels pulled in a few different directions and wants clarity as far as what to pursue and where to put her energy and actions. She is someone who gets excited about a new venture in the beginning and then finds her energy waning after starting it. Liz wants to find the inner and outer motivation to not only begin the new ventures she's excited about now but also to maintain that momentum so she can follow through and turn her dreams and visions into reality.

Join me and Liz in this coaching session as we tease out her business challenges and help her arrive to a place of clarity and motivation.

Nicole developed The Needs Languages personality communication model. Using this system, she has created workplace programs that focus on belonging. She has also given three TED talks, written a few books and created online courses - plus a lot more! Nicole is a powerhouse entrepreneur.

Like so many highly creative business owners, she's got a lot of irons in the fire and her creative brain is often brimming with business ideas. This makes it very hard for Nicole to determine what she should focus on and where to put her attention, so she sometimes ends up feeling scattered, stressed and overwhelmed. On top of that, she's also grieving a recent loss and finding it hard to generate energy for her many work tasks.

Samantha is a lawyer on a mission to help first generation business owners become millionaires by doing everything in her power to make sure their businesses become sustainable wealth generators.

She has created a legal firm that supports these entrepreneurs and lives part-time in the United States and part-time in Brazil. Samantha has outsourced some of her tedious business tasks to a virtual assistance team who supported her business going to the next level but recently that trusty VA team suddenly went out of business. Experiencing this loss has been understandingly challenging to Samantha and, because she's got a lot on her work plate, she hasn't had the time or energy to find a new team to help her.

In this coaching session I explore with Samantha how she can go about the search for the right VA support. We also discuss what she needs to do to find the right to people to support her business and where she may be able to find the right team. We tease out what important skills these team members need to have to support her legal business.

In this bonus episode, Julia Neumann interviews Kristin Morrison on the Radically Alive Women podcast.

In this interview, you'll hear Kristin share her passion for listening to her clients and what she's listening for to bring voice to what is not spoken by her clients and how listening to what isn't being said can often remove roadblocks to inner and outer challenges.

You'll also hear how you can converse with your business to find answers to your stuck places, especially when other avenues have failed to provide you clarity.

With coaching clients on the podcast and in private coaching sessions, Kristin sometimes use an effective modality called "Active Imagination" to support her clients in nonlinear ways to support them to find solutions. You'll hear Kristin describe how this process works and why business can be a powerful portal for transformation.

Julia and Kristin also touch upon the vision for business that goes beyond profit and a comfortable life for the individual.

Today's podcast coaching client is Kristen. Her business is boarding dogs in her home.

Kristen has three sons and she's going through a divorce and her soon-to-be ex-husband supported most her financial needs and now she needs to make more money in her dog boarding business.

What becomes apparent as we begin this coaching session is that she needs to get clear how much she needs to make each month. We discuss the gifts that can happen when she does financial tracking and the best way to track business and personal numbers.

We also explore the goal setting process and why it's important for Kristen, how her financial goals may positively impact her net profit, and the glass ceiling and what can help her move beyond her current financial blocks.

On a personal level, one of Kristen's barriers that has affected her self-esteem (and earning) is that her prior partner didn't support her and in fact, put her down a lot. She experienced a lot of belittling from him, and it really wore down her self-esteem. Now that she's out of that relationship and can see clearly, she needs to strengthen herself internally, cultivate confidence and self-esteem both while living her life and running her dog boarding business.

Adam invites Kristin to step into his podcast studio to ask about her journey as a serial entrepreneur, long-time business coach, and the podcast host of two podcasts: Business Pathfinder and Prosperous Pet Business.

Listen in as they discuss specifics about how to create a healthy mindset, avoid burnout, and the importance of -not only talking about it-, but actually making time for the people and activities that truly matter.

Becky is an artist who, for many years, had a husband who supported her financially. Now she's no longer with him and she needs to create a steady income stream.

She wants to create a business centered around her art and expressing her creativity. She would like to sell more paintings. She would also like to lead art retreats and perhaps even have an art gallery of her own.

She moved from California to Ohio to be near her sons. She really needs to create some income and wants to do work she loves. She does have some of her art in a gallery. It's been challenging putting herself out there but it's also exciting.

Becky is trying to figure out what art modality she should focus on or even if she should focus on one modality.

She is wondering if she's putting off the energy of scarcity because she's not able to sell her art the way she used to before. She'd like to find out more about the blocks she may have to making money and feeling successful. She wants to move through any blocks that may be standing in her way of the abundance she wants to create her work and her life.
