  • Part 2: More do's and don'ts for creating freedom in your online business
    Having a business that gives you freedom means different things to different people—so what does it mean to you? In today's episode, I'm sharing part 2 of how you can create more freedom in your biz with a helpful list of "do's" and "don'ts".

    - The importance of asking yourself where you're not taking action when you need to be.
    - Why regularly re-thinking your pricing is important as you learn and grow.
    - How showing up for your own learning and growth will attract clients who are committed to doing the same.
    - Why making time for the boring things (including building out your sales processes!) is just as important as making time for the fun things.

  • 6 ways I blocked myself from freedom in my business—and what I do now instead
    A few years back, I found myself in that spot that I know many of you are in right now. You're busy, you have clients, but there's no freedom and you're not making the income you want to yet. In today's episode, I'm sharing why finding freedom in your business can be so challenging and what you can do to change this.

    - When finding more clients means more money (but less freedom) and how you can scale in different ways.
    - Why focusing on service-based work takes up so much of your time and what you can do instead.
    - Why building a library of courses and memberships isn't always the answer to a scalable business that gives you freedom.
    - Why having sales processes in place is so important and what happens when you don't.

  • When self-doubt stops you from taking action, ask yourself these 5 questions instead
    All of those thoughts you're having about whether you can do something new or different are totally normal—even expected—because you're stepping out of your safe, comfort zone. However, they don't need to be in the driver's seat. In today's episode, I'm sharing 5 questions you can ask yourself whenever self-doubt creeps in.

    - How being honest about what's *really* scaring you will help you to see that doing anything outside of your comfort zone is going to bring up fear.
    - Why shifting your focus to "who will miss out if I *don't* do this?" will shift your perspective about what you're doing.
    - Why accepting that you'll never know everything about your niche provides opportunities for you to grow and learn in the future.
    - The importance of a positive mindset when dealing with self-doubt and how you can change your internal self-talk.
