More Than Social Podcast

We all want more out of our lives, right? More clients, more business, more money, more flexibility, deeper relationship experiences. Whatever your "more" looks like, we all have this drive to just keep reaching for it. But here's the question that we rarely stop to actually ask ourselves: What does "more" actually mean to you? And here's the big one: How do you redefine "more" while recognizing that everything you have right now is enough? I've been in business now for over nine years, which is wild to say, but let me tell you, things have shifted so much as they naturally do for all of us entrepreneurs.  Our goals, our definition of success—they evolve and we adjust continuously.  When I started this podcast, I thought I knew what "more" meant for me. But as I continue to grow, speak on stages, do podcast interviews, and share more of my story, I've realized something... This idea of "more" is not just about business. It's not just about life or the life that we live off-screen. Life is so much more than what we see online. It's more than the brand we create, the followers we attract, or even the people we actually serve. It's about the people in our lives, the work that truly lights us up, and the impact we have on others. It's about those quiet, powerful moments that no one else sees.  The moments when you choose to keep going, even when it feels so impossible. That's what brings you here on More Than Social. Something deeper, something more meaningful. I have decided to take a brief pause with this podcast—a hiatus, as we could say. But don't worry, I won't be gone forever. I will be back with a renewed perspective.  The truth is, we're all living lives that are much more than just social media. It's more than this perfectly curated post or the highlight reels we share online. Life is messy, raw, and real. And it's that "more" that I want to dive into with you right here. As I take this brief pause, I want to leave you with this: Whatever "more" looks like for you, know that you are already enough. You are already worthy of everything you're striving for. But here is the beautiful paradox, if I can say that. You can want more and be grateful for what you have all at the same time. I'm super excited for what is coming. In the meantime, keep striving, keep growing, and keep figuring out what "more" stands for you. Live a life that is so much more than social media.     We talk about:

Are you struggling with competitors making false promises? It's time to stand out! One of the biggest struggles within the digital marketing industry is dealing with competitors who claim they can deliver what you offer, but then fail to do so. How often have you heard stories of people who spent a significant amount of money on a service or course, only to find that it didn't meet their expectations or deliver the promised results? This issue is increasingly common. Whether agency clients tell me they've spent a lot with no booked appointments to show for it or members of my Spotlight Theory program share stories of spending $10,000 on courses that teach ineffective methods, they're frustrated. And honestly, so am I. But rather than just ranting, I want to offer some advice and solidarity. If you’re genuinely focused on delivering the results you promise, you will cut through the noise, and people will start to notice. Trust me, the effort and care you put into your work will pay off. It’s easier said than done, but being true to your promise and focusing on providing value for your current clients will eventually stand out. Over time, people will recognize your genuineness and the actual results you deliver. This approach may not bring overnight success, but it fosters long-term credibility and trust. I genuinely appreciate you for showing up and working hard every day. It's important to keep focusing on those you're connecting with and generating authentic referrals and testimonials. Remember, the impact you’re making is real and valuable. We talk about: 

• 00:00 Intro
• 02:47 The Problem with False Promises
• 04:19 Real Results vs. Empty Promises
• 08:03 Building Trust and Credibility
• 13:01 Conclusion: Keep Believing in Your Impact

Do you want to grow your business but are unsure about the best decisions to make, who to hire, or how to leverage your finances effectively?  This week, I'm joined by Danielle Hayden, an expert in financial strategies for business growth. She shared valuable lessons on healthy business spending and how it enhances profitability.  Danielle Hayden is the founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc. Her journey from being a hairdresser to becoming a corporate accounting professional and eventually a CFO for entrepreneurs is truly inspiring.  Initially starting her career in the creative field, Danielle found a knack for teaching people how to understand and leverage their numbers to achieve their goals. After gaining extensive experience in corporate accounting, Danielle brought her expertise back to the entrepreneurial world, helping others use their financial data to grow confidently. Numbers play a crucial role in business, especially for Type A personalities like Danielle and myself. The structured and predictable nature of accounting attracted Danielle, driving her shift from hairdressing to corporate finance.  Numbers tell a story, and understanding this story helps make informed decisions that can accelerate business growth. This structured approach is essential not only for entrepreneurs but also for those looking to scale their businesses effectively. Hiring support before you feel entirely ready can significantly impact your business’s growth trajectory. Danielle discussed the importance of bringing in experts to handle different aspects of your business, like bookkeeping, legal matters, and virtual assistance, to buy back your time.  This strategic hiring allows entrepreneurs to focus on what they love and excel in, which is often the reason they started their business in the first place. Healthy business spending and strategic financial management are key to enhancing profitability and achieving sustainable growth. Whether you’re just starting or looking to scale, these insights from Danielle Hayden can guide you in making smarter business decisions. We talk about:

Are you overwhelmed by the demands of maintaining an online presence as an entrepreneur? You're not alone. The constant pressure to keep up with online trends, engage with audiences, and produce content can take a toll on anyone. In Episode 154 of the "More Than Social Podcast," I share insights and strategies for managing and overcoming online overwhelm.  Most people are struggling and facing challenges, and I'm sure more would admit they hate social media.  Personally, I have a love-hate relationship with social media.  It’s great for business—it allows us to connect globally and build a business online. I'm thankful for the connections I’ve made, but yes, there is constant pressure to post constantly, follow new trends, and adapt to algorithm changes.  If you’re overwhelmed by all the advice out there, simplify. Identify what aligns with your strengths and focus there. Avoid shiny object syndrome and trust the process. Validate and adapt regularly based on feedback and stay consistent.  I truly appreciate you listening to these episodes. If you feel overwhelmed by the online world, connect with me on social media. Let’s support each other through the ups and downs. You don't have to navigate this journey alone. We talk about: 

• 00:00 Intro

Have you ever wondered how successful online course creators generate consistent revenue without the constant stress of launches? If you have an online course or are considering starting one, this episode is for you. Today, we have Caitlin Bacher, CEO of Skill with Success. Caitlin's company is dedicated to teaching coaches and course creators how to turn their online courses into seven-figure businesses without launching every month. Caitlin has successfully grown her business to over $11 million in revenue, moving away from the traditional launch model. For those of you who dread the stress of constant launches, Caitlin is about to share invaluable insights into how you can achieve consistent revenue through an automated sales process. Caitlin advises focusing on a signature offer when your course still generates less than a million dollars annually. Having a range of products might break your business rather than expand it. Instead, zero in on creating a single, powerful signature course that serves a specific need. Caitlin's key to success is listening to her community and reiterating her courses based on feedback. For those new to selling online courses, Caitlin offers extensive resources on her website, including a free masterclass on generating launch-size revenue without launching. We talk about: 

• 00:00 Intro

Have you ever struggled to get the right people to show up for your webinars? If so, you're not alone. In today's digital marketing world, having a compelling topic for your webinar can be a game-changer.  Getting prospects booked on your calendar is one thing, but if those booked appointments don't show up or they're not actually qualified, you're kind of wasting your time. Instead, I recommend setting up your marketing in a way that pre-qualifies people. Push away those who aren't a good fit and pull in those who are truly aligned with your business goals. Webinars, masterclasses, and coaching sessions—whatever term you prefer—are far from being outdated. They continue to deliver outstanding results for my clients and me. So why fix something that's not broken? Let's tweak, optimize, and push for even better outcomes. If there's one piece of advice I can offer, it's this: Don't wing it. There's a strategy to running a successful webinar, and the most crucial part is choosing a compelling topic. Dive into this episode to learn more about how exactly to do this. We talk about:
