Something I have noticed in all the great creative entrepreneurs that I’ve encountered is the desire for personal development. The best and most successful business owners that I know would all consider themselves lifelong learners, eager to be the best versions of themselves possible. Sound familiar?

If you’re listening to this podcast right now, I’m guessing this resonates with you. You are eager to grow. You also are eager for your business to be the very best it can be. You don’t want to settle for “good enough” - right?

Well, first of all, I just have to say I really love that attitude! An eagerness to learn and grow shows that you have the humility to learn from those wiser than you, and you have the wisdom to know that you just don’t have the answers to everything. So, kudos to you! I already know we’d be good friends. :)

Sometimes, in the race to grow our businesses to be the very best that they can be, we forget to keep up with what’s happening on a day-to-day basis. Those things that you’re already doing as a business owner - how things are going currently - sometimes can be overlooked. So today, I want to slow you down for a sec and help you think more carefully about how to be mindful of where your business is at in the here-and-now. Let’s get started!

Overview:
Have you ever said this statement to a friend, a spouse or partner, a peer in your industry . . . or maybe you’ve just written it in your journal?

I know what I need to be doing, I just don’t have the time right now to do it.

I really hope I’m not alone here, because I definitely was saying this pretty much on a daily basis to my husband for several years. I knew exactly what it would take to achieve XYZ successes and accomplishments that I was aiming for. I had learned all the strategies - through podcasts, courses, networking events, mentorships, you name it. I knew I could see the finish line. But for about two full years, absolutely nothing changed in my business. I worked roughly the same number of hours and made roughly the same amount of money. I was disappointed with the same things in my business as I had been two years previously. All the changes that were taking place in my business honestly felt marginal. 

And I think you already know what happens at the end of this story, right? No one can keep on keeping on with a business when your heart and your mind are dreaming of all that could be, but NOTHING actually ever happens. I hit a wall - I was burnt out. My work suffered, and as a result, my clients suffered. Maybe you’ve experienced this too.

I hear a lot (and I mean A LOT) of small business owners say that exact phrase - I know what I need to be doing, I just don’t have enough time right now to do it. And what makes me really sad is that I will hear this same phrase over and over again over the course of weeks, months and even years. 

So today, I want to tackle this topic and share what I think so many business owners are getting totally wrong.

Hi friend! So, I can hardly believe it, but I have been podcasting for a FULL YEAR. Where has the time gone? At the beginning of 2020, I committed to showing up weekly and posting a new podcast every single week. And guess what, we made it! This is episode 52!

Today’s episode is on the shorter side, and it’s definitely more geared towards my loyal listeners, so if this is the very first episode you’re listening to . . . well, I’d suggest starting with a different one! What I’m sharing today is a little bit of a personal look inside my life and my experience as a podcaster and also giving you a little teaser as to what is to come in this second year of Everyone Wins!

Today, I’m we’re talking about mentors, business coaches, what the difference is, and how to know if working with one of these types of people is right for you!

I decided on this topic recently for a few reasons. First of all, I see lots and lots of talk about “mentoring” and “business coaching” online, and honestly I think lots of people think they are essentially the same thing. There are even some educators out there that interchange those terms or consider them as equal. Which . . . you’re going to learn in this episode, isn’t really true. 

Second, I have worked with both business coaches and mentors in my own business, and I have offered both mentorships and business coaching in the past (and present). Truthfully, I didn’t really know the difference myself until I actually experienced being on the receiving end of these two different types of business instruction. Working one-on-one with an experienced professional can be one of the most effective ways to really grow your business to the next level. But you have to know what you’re getting into and why if you really want that relationship to be effective.

So we’re going to talk about a lot of things today. First, I’m going to break down the difference between a business coach and a mentor. Then I’m going to talk about how to determine which one of these options is right for you. You might find that both seem like really great options, you might learn that neither option is a good fit for you, but regardless, my hope is that at the end of this episode, you have a crystal-clear idea about exactly what each of these professionals can do for you!

Hi there ! Today I’m talking about the financial strategies that I use within my business to make it stable, profitable and, overall, a successful business. I’m going to be sharing my top tips about everything from budgeting for expenses, planning for profit and ultimately, hitting my big financial goals. 

Today’s episode is for you if:

1. You find yourself totally unable to predict your annual income.
2. You feel frustrated because it seems like you have a lot of money coming in each month (or year), but your personal bank account doesn’t really reflect that.
3. You want to grow your team and add contractors or employees, but you have no idea how to know if you have the money to actually do that.
4. You want to make a certain amount of money annually but have no idea how to get there.

So essentially, today’s episode is for anyone who hasn’t already mastered their business finances. 

I really believe that when it comes to money, you have to have a plan. Profit does not just happen. And any business that wants to grow and thrive needs to be profitable. Without a financial plan, you end up spinning your wheels, never feeling like you’re working enough or making enough money, and ultimately, you really won’t make that much money.

So this is what I’m digging into today - my 5 top financial strategies for running a predictable, profitable business.
