Cozy Business With Katherine

The day I learnt that doing the hardest thing first (ie eating that frog) is terrible advice for neurodivergent brains, it was like a revelation. All my life I've been trying to fit myself into systems that I just don't fit into.

If you're tired of feeling stuck, frustrated, or like nothing is working... this episode is for you. I hope it helps.

I've been contemplating not sharing this. I came up in the world of the "aspirational" lifestyle coach and so sharing the messy behind the scenes still feels like I'm diminishing my "expertise". And that's the point. This whole journey is about unravelling, examining, and recreating a new way of doing business beyond all the "shoulds" and fakery.

Because, we are human and life is messy. And business even more so. Join me for this episode where I share how I have learnt to come back to my own flow faster than ever after being derailed by the external noise.

Talking to my community this week, I realised we all do the same thing - we create these road blocks for ourselves made out of hypotheticals and wanting to have all the steps ready and lined up before starting.

So I got out of my own way and in this episode, I'm sharing how I did it, where I see this coming up a lot (and what to do differently), plus some simple steps to take next time you feel like conditions have to be perfect for you to be ready.

Last week I had one of those heart sinking disappointments that used to leave me in nervous system shut down for weeks. But these 2 things helped me bounce back and I'm sharing how you can use them to keep moving - even just one small step at a time.

I didn't think I was going to share this story publicly but here it is.

After 10+ years in business, I finally stumbled across a strategy that nearly every marketing guru teaches… and I’d somehow missed it. I wasn'nt sure how I could apply it retroactively with all my offers and content, but I figured it out and it has simplified my business SO much already, even just a couple of weeks in.

In this episode, I share how I’m applying it as my own client case study, what “all roads lead to the White Castle” means for my business, and how you can refine your own offer without scrapping everything you’ve already built.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Grab the Underthinking It book as your own starting point to stop over complicating your business here.
• And, if you're ready for more, come and check out The Cozy Business Common Room where we are going so much deeper into mapping out your daily flow so you always know what to focus on in your business, and documenting your journey by being your best client case study.

Learn my favourite strategy to not just have endless content ideas, but also build deeper trust and connection with your audience in a way AI generated posts never will.

I share the mindset behind this strategy and also how I'm currently implementing it in my business, as well as how you can too whether you're just starting out or you've been in business for a while.

I almost didn't record this episode because this week I've been SO frustrated. I can see the big shifts and changes and the next phase of my business but it feels like it's taking too long. So, of course, I am getting my own medicine and being reminded exactly how important this challenge is within the bigger business journey.

If you've been feeling frustrated, stuck, behind, or like you're just treading water - you're not alone. Hopefully this episode helps you (it helped me).

Whether you're building an email community or a space for people to gather, I know there can be a lot of pressure to "get it right" the first time - which often leads to procrastination and spending months behind the scenes "perfecting" content. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a low lift engagement and simple content strategy you can use for a new community, your email welcome sequence, or in place of a "live launch challenge".

My Evergreen Welcome Adventure is a strategy I've used to launch my 2 Skool communities with no content and that I teach my 1:1 clients to take the pressure off launching.

Last week I realised that the Cozy Business Common Room was turning one year old and, when I sat back to reflect on it, I realised that so much of the big shifts and changes from the past few months started when I launched this space.

Join me as I reflect on the things I've learnt, what's coming next, and one of my favourite stories about doing what you love and the side quest it may take you on to get to where you want to go.
