Do you feel stuck spinning your wheels on the next “big thing” to invest in for your business?
You’re not alone.
In this candid and refreshingly real conversation, marketing strategist Christy Mitchell dives deep with copywriter and storytelling coach Toby Miles about the tricky art of knowing when and where to invest your time, money, and energy as a growing entrepreneur.
Toby shares her personal journey from early hesitations with small investments, like a $200 copywriting course, to pushing the edges with bigger commitments—and the valuable lessons learned when those investments didn’t go as planned. They discuss the importance of clarity around expectations, knowing what you truly need help with, and the pivotal moment of realizing that sometimes, it’s not about can you afford to invest, but should you.
You’ll hear actionable advice on how to navigate discovery calls without pressure, recognize authentic help versus sales pitches, and the power of keeping a “business wish list” so you’re ready when the right investment opportunity comes along. Plus, they unpack the mindset shift of conditioning yourself to spend on your business and embrace consistent marketing efforts—even when results feel invisible.
If you want to stop second-guessing your marketing moves and start making investments that truly move the needle, this episode is your blueprint. Tune in for honest stories, practical wisdom, and encouragement to keep investing in yourself without the self-doubt.
