Business Pathfinder

I was recently interviewed on Jill Sutton's podcast, Living Her Legacy. This is that interview.

Jill's podcast is geared for moms, but this episode is for anyone who has trouble setting boundaries or needs to let go of limiting beliefs that may be keeping you stuck. As Jill and I discuss in this episode, setting boundaries in my business vastly improved the quality of my life.

You'll also learn how a person's role can change throughout their lives (and their business) and how false beliefs about ourselves, our business and our lives can be limiting for our growth and impact - and how to break free of those limiting beliefs!

Gabrielle has a massage and somatic healing business that she brought to Australia from her home country, New Zealand.

This type of massage has been brought down from her familial line and Gabrielle also draws upon the Moire tradition to help release inner and outer blocks.

Gabrielle also has a training program for those who want to learn the massage modality that she teaches.

She has some new business ideas bubbling up and she feels exhausted thinking about diving into a project again. She has a fear of overwhelm and burned out. In this episode, I use a process called Active Imagination to help her gain clarity, perspective and awareness in order to move forward.

Join us with an open mind as I use this unconventional method to work with Gabrielle's fear and overwhelm.

Julie Zaruba is a well-being and change management specialist. She's a consultant and a facilitator for organizations and individuals. Her business is part-time, and her job is full-time. She likes the security of her full-time job, and she likes the creativity of being a business owner and the freedom that brings.

She wants to have a strategic plan for her business, but she doesn't want to hustle or experience burnout again. She doesn't want the business she started to then lead into that burnout zone and she also wants her business to be a reflection of her values.

Julie would like to have her business courses to lead to speaking engagements in organizations.

In this coaching session we cover a lot of fertile ground including the intricacies of language to help Julie reach her ideal clients, how to find that sweet spot to get in alignment with business goals, and how to determine parameters to keep burnout at bay so that aliveness is present in Julie's business and personal life.

Some podcast coaching sessions get wrapped up in a tidy bow at the end. This session didn't end that way, but toward the end you'll hear Izabela's business vision begin to take shape and form.

Izabela contacted me because she needed business coaching and perspective from someone outside of her circle to help her get clarity on her big business ideas.

When I'm coaching visionary business owners like Izabela in this session, there can be so many irons in the fire that it can be difficult for my innovative coaching client to focus on just one area. But because that's usually all we have time for in this podcast medium, it often requires some effort (and cat herding!) on my part to keep the creative person focused and to bring them back gently but firmly if they get distracted.

Like a lot of creative business owners, Izabela is unsure how to describe the work that she does and the work she wants to do going forward.

She is eager to move forward, but she's also been struggling moving forward because of some mental health issues and her lack of clarity. In this episode you'll hear us begin to tease out her niche.

If you're a business owner, it's important to get crystal clear on your niche because that's a foundational element that will guide you on where and whom to market so you can begin to attract your right customers and audience. If that sounds easy, it's often a lot harder than it sounds!

In this coaching session you'll hear us untangle a few of Izabela's creative business ideas and help her gain more clarity.

Today's business coaching client is Nancy, a licensed marriage and family therapist.

Nancy is like many therapists during the pandemic: she got massively burned out.

As a result of experiencing business burnout, she became an executive coach with the hope that being a coach would help her cultivate a healthier and more manageable work / life balance.

However, what she's struggling with now that she's a coach is the opposite of burnout – she's having a difficult time getting coaching clients. Her struggle seems to be (at least initially in this session), in marketing herself and putting herself out there.

As a therapist she was used to the ease of having so many therapy clients come to her easily and effortlessly but at least in part because she hasn't put herself out there as a coach, she hasn't been able to get clients.

There's a block within her around getting clients and marketing. When she was a therapist she had an overflowing practice and now that she's a coach she's perplexed why she isn't also getting a large inflow of clients. She wants to figure out how she can get more clients and how to move forward in her new line of work.

Nancy is clear she wants to reduce her stress and she is aware she has some fear of getting burned out again.

In this coaching session we explore what's underneath Nancy's fear of burnout. What gets revealed underneath the burnout surprises both of us - and it may surprise you too.

In addition to continuing work in her corporate job, Cindy-Anne wants to explore turning some of her passions, including motivational speaking and mentoring women, into an entrepreneurial venture.

You'll also learn about public speaking and how to cultivate your "public speaking chops" in an authentic and meaningful way.

Lisa is an acupuncturist who needs to make some big changes in a few areas of her business and her personal life.

She doesn't have much time after a long workday to take care of household chores and she has no desire or much energy left to take care of these tasks after work. She'd like to delegate some specific tasks that are time drains for her - but like a lot of people, she's reluctant to let go of control.

Lisa also wants to expand her acupuncture practice and, for her, that starts with getting her own free-standing clinic, rather than expanding within the shared space she's currently renting.

We also explore how best to rearrange Lisa's work schedule so she has some much-needed free time. We cover a lot of ground in this session!

Please Note: This is Part Two of Brionna's coaching session. Part One is Ep 22: Know Your Value.

If you haven't yet heard Part One, you may want to listen to that episode first.

Brionna provides pet care services and she's having a difficult time knowing how to price her services. She feels awkward and uncomfortable when it comes to stating how much she charges. Even though when she tells clients her rates, she will then often back pedal if a client protests that her rate is too high. Sometimes she'll voluntarily offer a discount even when her clients don't ask for one!

This pattern of not charging what her time and energy are worth is creating resentment toward her business and disappointment in herself. Brionna needs help getting out of this disempowering cycle.

In this business coaching session, you'll join us as we go on a wild ride that starts with a left-brain process of Brionna discovering exactly how to price her services, so they feel good to her and aren't too high or too low.

This coaching session ends in a surprising "right brain" way for both of us in episode 23 as I put on my life coach hat to help Brionne discover how to fully embody the value she's bringing to her clients so she can then confidently state her rates.

Please Note: This is Part One of Brionna's coaching session. Part Two of this coaching session is Ep 23: Because Your Worth It.

Brionna provides pet care services including vacation visits and mobile nail trims and she's having a difficult time determining how to price her services. She often feels awkward and uncomfortable when it comes to stating how much she charges. Even though she will tell clients her highest rate, she will often back pedal if a client protests that her rate is too high. Sometimes she'll voluntarily offer a discount even when they don't say a word about her price!

This pattern of not charging what she believes her time and energy are worth is creating resentment toward her business and disappointment in herself. Brionna needs help getting out of this disempowering cycle.

In this business coaching session, you'll join us as we go on a wild ride that starts with a left-brain process of Brionna discovering exactly how to price her services, so they feel good to her and aren't too high or too low.

Listen to Part Two (Ep. 23) to hear the session end in a surprising "right brain" way.

Pam has a successful massage service business located in Colorado. She's struggling with how to price her services and how to go about raising her rates without losing clients. Like many business owners in a "caretaking field", Pam has a big heart and cares deeply for her clients and their well-being.

She knows some of her clients are on a limited budget. She's understandably concerned they won't use her massage services as much as they currently do if she raises her rates.

In this session we discuss the dos and don'ts when it comes to pricing services and raising rates. I also outline how Pam can raise her rates in a way that will cause the least amount of disruption to both Pam and her massage therapy clients - and how you can raise your rates too, regardless of your type of business.
