What I wish I knew when I was broke and trying everything to get clients: it's not about me.

The truth is, the second we take our focus off of us and our results, we start to see the reality - that clients can come from anywhere (and you can actually have fun along the way!).

In this episode, here's what I'm chatting about:

1. Leading with service is not going to bankrupt your business: There's a myth out there that we don't want to give too much away or help too much, because then our paid services won't be seen as valuable. I bust this myth and give you another set of action steps to take instead.

2. Your business is not for you. The top thoughts that block success are likely all about you, and not about the people you're trying to help, and I give you a really actionable step to make so you can get out of your own way.

3. You already know where to find your ideal clients online. I am a full believer in knowledge being a potential power, but at some point it fails us when we can't take action. I teach you the exact questions to ask yourself so that you find your ideal clients online and say what you already know they need to hear.

I know why you aren't taking action, because I've wrestled with this same question for a while: is all this effort really worth it?

You spend time, money and energy on your business - not to mention all those hours lip syncing to a Reel, sitting in front of your computer writing content, and checking your notifications. When does it all pay off?

I wanted to create an episode where I got to talk to you about worth, and effort, and re-frame it for you. In this episode, I'm chatting with you about:

→ where your thoughts about worth are really coming from

→ how to know what to focus on each day so that you can take action (and then gain more clarity)

→ the two questions you can ask yourself so that you can take more intentional, simple action that will get you results

Also, my newest workshop is open for registration! The Offer Lab: Create Offers That Position You As The Expert And Land More Clients, is a 60 minute interactive workshop where you'll learn how to build offers (or re-build your current offers) so that they sell and sustain you as a business owner and impact-obsessed CEO who also wants a life outside of work.

The past year in business has been hard - no question about that.

I know I'm not alone when I tell you that a lot of my thoughts in the past year have sounded like this:

"It's not working."

"Maybe there's no longevity in online business."

"I'm not pivoting or innovating as quickly as everyone else."

"I'm a one-hit wonder."

I almost annihilated my own business based on those thoughts, and on today's episode, I'm sharing it ALL with you. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

In this episode, I chatted about:

→ the action I took out of the negative thoughts and how it fucked me over

→ how I got out of the vicious cycle that was keeping me stuck

→ what it looks like in real time to "keep yourself small" and how you can take steps to avoid it in your business.

Hi! One of the things I've talked about over and over again is consistency. When you're starting or early in your business, consistency is key - it's what makes your business stable and regular.

But if you haven't been seeing a return on your consistent efforts, it may be time to realize that consistency just isn't enough.

In this episode, I'm teaching:

→ why so many coaches tout consistency as the end-all-be-all (and why I did it for a long time, too)

→ how to know when it's time to move on from consistency in your business

→ the steps you need to take to become more persistent in your business

Hi, high achiever! I see you doing all the things to get clients because that's what you see other people doing - and you admire those people. If you could just do what they do...

...problem is: you may not be focusing on the non-negotiables to getting clients - because those are some of the hardest things to stay consistent with.

In this episode (which I did LIVE in my FB group this week), I'm teaching:

→ the one thing that brings your business life no matter what season it's in

→ how to simplify your explanation of your offer (no more trying to figure out what to say or saying too much)

→ the best damn way to convert the strangers on the Interwebs into clients
