This is Part Two of my coaching session with Amy. If you haven't yet heard Part One (Episode 36), I encourage you to listen to that episode first as it sets the stage for this session.

In Part One you heard Amy having a hard time detaching from her phone. In this session, you'll hear how hard it is for her to delegate and let go to an office manager or admin assistant and other staff members.

If you can relate to this (and I know a lot of you can!), this episode is for you!

Thanks to Amy for being willing to be so open, authentic and vulnerable in both of her coaching sessions with me.

We cover topics in these two sessions that a lot of business owners struggle with. I am grateful Amy was able to show up so courageously to not only get help for herself, but also help those of you who struggle with these similar issues in your business and personal life.

Attention Business Owners! If you would like to combine a relaxing vacation along with an empowering day of private 1:1 business coaching with me, the VIP Coaching Day is for you!

In this episode you'll hear from Karissa, a business owner from Michigan, who combined her first ever vacation to Hawaii along with a day of coaching with me – and she got to write a large part of her vacation off on her taxes because part of her vacation was a business trip! (Be sure to ask your accountant how much you can write off when scheduling a VIP Coaching Day with me.)

You'll also hear me share details about the VIP Coaching Day, including what happens after you sign up.

I've got some VIP Day spots available in Marin County, California (near San Francisco) in next few months as well and some availability in either location for dates in 2024.

I look forward to helping you in either Hawaii or California!

Find out more and sign up here for VIP Coaching Day with Kristin Morrison.

In today's coaching session, you'll meet business owner Amy.

Amy is like a lot of business owners, and even some people who don't have a business.

She is having a difficult time detaching from her phone and she's also finding herself plagued by a lot of worry. She feels like her phone is always with her and she has no idea how to fully let it go, even for a bit of time each day, so that she can actually be a human being instead of a human doing all the time.

Amy feels like she's currently living the life of the meme: "Why did I quit my 9-5 job only to work 24/7 in my business?"

We cover a lot of ground in this session, and it ended in a very different spot than we anticipated it.

Near the end of this session with Amy, it became clear there was more to work on with Amy and so we set up another session – Part Two is Episode 37.

Thanks to Amy for being so vulnerable and willing to share her struggles in this coaching session. We cover topics here that so many business owners face and I feel so grateful that she was able to show up so courageously for this session in order to help those of you who struggle with similar issues.

It's my hope that if you're struggling with detaching from your phone and from debilitating worry that this episode will help you find some relief.

Andrew quit drinking and lost a lot of weight when he used hypnosis to help himself make these big life shifts. He's now a hypnotherapist who has helped a lot of clients make big changes in their lives too.

A few months ago, one of the clients he helped posted information about his hypnotherapy service on her popular blog. Initially that increased Andrew's hypnotherapy business in a big way.

But, because it was "accidental growth", he now needs to learn how to intentionally grow his client base since the surge of new clients that resulted from the blog post has now subsided.

Andrew wants to know what marketing actions he can take to create an intentional flow of new clients.

Marie has a product-based business named Kitchen Witch, which is based on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Her products include handmade soaps, deodorants and candles that contain essential oils. At first it was a hobby business, but then it grew bigger and bigger and as it began to expand, Marie began to feel burned out.

Marie has lost the spark of creativity when it comes to her business. Lately her business tasks have become more of a chore than the passion it once was. She's realizing she was more passionate about her business when it was only her hobby and not part of her livelihood.

She is having a struggle balancing her time and energy with the many work and life tasks she has on her plate.

Marie also has gotten into the habit of giving a lot of her products away to friends and she realizes she can't do that anymore since it impacts her profit margin! However, the thought of setting boundaries and saying "no more free items" feels awkward and uncomfortable. Listen in as we cover all of this -and a lot more- in this episode.

In today's coaching session, I'm working with Kaitlin.

Kaitlin is a life coach whose niche is helping moms practice self-care, boundaries and live a full life themselves so they can be there more fully for their kids.

She's been doing a lot of busy work lately, working many hours each day in her business, but that hasn't resulted in many clients. She feels frustrated and confused by this, because she invests many hours each day to try and grow her coaching practice.

When Kaitlin does get clients, they love working with her and gain a lot of value from what she is offering, so she is eager to discover what she's doing wrong in terms of her messaging and advertising or what she needs to be doing in order to get a lot more clients.

In this session we also explore how she can write her web copy in a way that will help her attract those stressed-out moms who most need what Kaitlin can give them without them feeling overwhelmed by a lot of words or having to do 'yet another thing'. To have them recognize themselves and their needs in Kaitlin's web copy and other messaging so that they will feel inspired to take action to sign up for her private coaching and online courses.

She also wants to know some tips to warm up her social media followers, so they feel inspired to work with her.

Kaitlin's final question for me is what she should do about those who follow and friend her who only seem to want her free items?

Blaine is a wealth management advisor in his early thirties who is often working 80 hours a week since he left company he worked for and began his own wealth management firm.

(A head's up if you have kids listening with you: there's a moment of swearing about 60% into this episode.)

He's trying to figure out why he's not able to close the deal as much as he did when he worked for a top company. Even though Blaine has a lot of experience, he wonders if his issue is perhaps the result of him being young; maybe potential clients perceive his young age to be an indicator of him not being able to adequately guide them in their financial decisions?

The sales process that worked well when he was with the prior company, but the process isn't working well for him as a self-employed money manager and adviser and he feels frustrated and confused.

Blaine wants to know when to begin focusing on getting higher income clients and where to find those income bracket clients.

He also wants to know if it would make sense for him as a wealth manager to create videos on You Tube and TikTok as a possible way to reach possible new clients. Blaine and I discuss all of this and a lot more in this episode.

Alex is a software engineer and entrepreneur in Poland. She helps business owners with technology through a membership site she created called Tech Club.

Our conversation at the beginning of the session may at first seem like it's not relevant to Alex's business but as you listen you'll hear it sets the stage for where we end up going in this session.

Alex is one of those entrepreneurs who "has good starts" but after her initial success, her projects seem to fizzle out.

Like it or not, we bring who we are into our business. If we're not consciously aware of what we've learned about money and work from our parents and grandparents, we may unconsciously carry those parental beliefs that aren't ours into our work.

This can also happen with childhood wounds that have not yet been healed - they can profoundly impact how we run our businesses, as you'll hear is the case with Alex.

Trigger Warning: There's a brief mention of suicidal thoughts in this episode, so please take loving care of yourself as you listen.

Audra is a dynamic and energetic entrepreneur who has two different types of coaching businesses. The focus of her newest coaching business is helping people navigate challenging transitions.

She's unsure about how and where to advertise to find her ideal clients and how to post about her business on social media in a way that can reach the people who can most be helped by her.

In this session we discuss how Audra can connect to that part of herself that used to struggle with the challenges that her ideal clients are now struggling with.

We also explore how, by Audra going back to that place of remembering what she went through during her challenging times will then help her write social media posts that speak to those people who need what she has to offer.
