Ever held back on sharing what you actually think with a client so you wouldn't hurt their feelings?

Or maybe you've stopped yourself short of giving feedback or asking for what you need the way you want it with your team?

Whether or not you suffer from the 'disease to please', as a caring human and business owner, I'd bet you hold being nice as a value and buy into the adage that 'the customer is always right.'

The recovering people pleaser in me sees you, and I also have ONE Question this week to help you step past trying to be likable and into your power, potency, and role as a CEO - because turns out all that 'niceness' might not be what leads to the best and biggest results for you or your clients.

Tune in to this episode where we're unpacking ONE Question to trade in people pleasing for more potent results for you and your clients.

We're digging into the biggest mindset shift that allows you to think and show up like a CEO in your business, what my clients are and aren't paying me to do (and, I bet your clients are investing through you for the same!), and the sneaky way being a big-hearted person can hold you back, confuse potential and exisiting clients, and limit your growth and income.

Do you ever wonder if you'd be a more ethical business person if you lowered your rates or made your offers more accessible?

Maybe all the recent questionable news coming to light in the industry has you thinking you should drop your fees?

Can you really be of service, a good human, and care about and make good money?

Join me in this bite-size biz lesson, and my unapologetic answer to one of your unapologetic questions in a You Asked, I Answered: ONE Question About Setting Prices that Serve Your Clients Without Undercharging.

In Episode 126, I'm spilling on:

• a rule I've had in business from day one when I was making $0 that's helped me scale to a million in revenue in just under four years.

• the number one reason I believe your business exists, and the counterintuitive focus that speeds up the money-making process.

• a suggestion for how you can think about pricing and setting rates in a way that best serves the quality of your offers and your clients and their results.

I think you and I can both agree fear of failure and rejection are both human and normal to have come up along the entrepreneurial journey.

What not as many people talk about is fear of success - fear of actually getting, having, and holding everything you want in business and life.

The fear of what comes along with the recurring revenue and six, multi-six, and seven-figure years…whether that's more work, responsibility, visibility, or trolls hating on your posts or offers.

Fear of success is more common than you might think, and it can cause the same want to run and hide that might look like pretending you don't care about making money, deciding to shut down programs that are going well, or avoiding showing up to share content and sell in the first place.

Join me in this week's episode where we're unpacking ONE Question to have, hold, and keep success.

We're shining a light on:

• this hush-hush fear and how keeping it in the dark can limit or sabotage your business and success.

• the truth about making bigger paychecks that no one wants to tell you so you can run through this fear and open yourself up to more money.

• ONE Question to help you get clear on what you actually need to effectively resource yourself for a six and seven-figure business and the visibility that comes along with it.

• why traditional approaches to navigating fear of success (or failure) might be keeping you stuck creating your own self-imposed income ceilings or preventing you from reaching that one-time revenue high consistently.

• what I want you to know about craving more and more success, and a permission slip (I bet it's not what you think!) you can write yourself based on your unapologetic answer to this week's ONE Question.

Making six, multi-six, and seven figures on repeat isn't the result of simply calling yourself a CEO (or boss or even a millionaire).

It's done by BEcoming the person who's able to embody the role of CEO to think and run at business at a higher level – which means taking your mindset work past affirmations so you can integrate it as part of your identity.

After seven years coaching clients to collective multi-millions, I've seen what a game changer it is when you take your role as a CEO past defining and aspiring to the concept, and learn how to OWN it by taking action on the steps that allow you to become and create the next-level results you want.

In this episode, we unapologetically answer ONE Question to BEcome the CEO Who Gets Next-Level Results. Join the conversation to learn the difference between talking about doing versus being, what might actually be going on when you're dragging your heels on showing up, and the number one focus that changes the outcome for any action you take.

Huberman Lab: The Science of Creativity & How to Enhance Creative Innovation

I'm sure you've heard me say business success is all about the quality of your relationships, and the depth of your connections is directly correlated to your success and sustainability.

Maybe you've also heard me talk about the relationship you have with money, and the impact this has on your ability to make, receive, have, hold, and leverage benjamins…or the importance and impact your relationships outside of business have on you and how you show up as a CEO.

What we don't always talk about are the patterns IN your relationships, and how you interact with other people can tell you so much about how you also show up to connect in business and your relationship with money.

That's why I wanted to bring on our guest, Manisha Tare, who's an embodiment coach and mentor who's made relationships a focus in her work.

Manisha utilizes a trauma-informed, somatic approach to help smart, sensitive women overcome people-pleasing, overgiving, and conflict avoidance so they can set up boundaries and express themselves confidently in their relationships – the very same things you do in business all day, every day.

In this episode, Manisha and I dive into ONE Question for a Better Relationship with Money, Your Business, and Other People. Join the conversation to learn more about attachment styles and how they show up in your business, what a healthy relationship with money looks like, and feeling safe and secure while finding better ways of functioning in all your relationships in and out of business so you can build and maintain connections in a way that supports and sustains your growth.

As you create more success in your business, you tend to get more opportunities, and can also have many different things vying for and pulling your attention.

If you're not mindful, your bandwidth can get shorter and shorter, which is why it's crucial to protect your energy intentionally - not only your calendar time - so you're not robbing yourself of the capacity required for the deep work and creative thinking and output your business needs from its CEO and your zone of genius.

In this episode, we unpack ONE Question to Generate More Energy for Creative Thinking & Output as a CEO.

Join the conversation to learn why protecting your energy as a CEO is essential for sustainability and scalability, the surprising energy leaks that can suck you and your creativity dry, and tap into your answer for how to charge your own battery and stay in your zone of genius longer to support prolific output and six and seven-figure results.

Steal Like an Artist Trilogy by Austin Kleon

Boundary Boss by Terri Cole

Deep Work by Cal Newport

I talk a lot about stepping into your role as a CEO, which means being and deciding who you are as one now…and also about being able to hold the bigger vision for your business and allowing yourself to think bigger than your current thoughts and reality.

I also know how easy it is as an entrepreneur to scratch the surface of what's next, to hold yourself back, or create your own ceilings because stretching big with your ideas and actions can kick up fears of being disappointed or failing.

Essentially, it can feel safer to play small with your dreams, even if you want them really badly, because when you cap your "want muscle" you also don't have to worry about dealing with potential letdowns.

But that's also a surefire way to never get what you actually want - and, I know you'd rather be someone who goes for it and plays big.

In this episode, we're unpacking ONE Question to Find Your Edge & Play Big for Oscar-Worthy Business Results.

Join the conversation to learn how to color outside the lines with your thought process around going after what you want, learn an exercise to help you think like that next-level CEO who already has the results you want, and own what makes you and your business unique to help you stand out and create those show-stopping six and seven-figures.

Screen Daily: 'Everything Everywhere All at Once': the unlikely story behind an unlikely $100m hit

Blue Ocean Strategy: How to Create Uncontested Market Space and Make the Competition Irrelevant

Do you love the business you have, or is it a result of what you were told to create?

We're all out here trying to build a business that serves us, but in that effort it's easy to get lost in the list of things you "need" to start, grow, and scale a business…when really what you need is to tap into what you want and how you can get there from where you're at right now.

Our guest, Jordan Ilderton, has a question that's going to help you do just that!

Jordan is a CPA who went from working in an office to building and booking out her own bookkeeping, consulting, and then coaching business – and she did so without the bells and whistles and grew to $78k annually and then $182k in two years with ZERO paid advertising on part-time hours as a mom of three.

And she wants you to know, that you don't have to follow the masses to build a business that's sustainable, profitable, and works for the life YOU want to have

In this episode, Jordan and I unpack ONE Question to Release What Isn't "You" for Six-Figures that Makes Sense for YOU with Jordan Ilderton.

Join the conversation to learn what Jordan didn't do at the start of her business, what she values most in business that contradicts many of the messages you hear online about revenue, and how to start chipping away at the unnecessary stuff so you can reveal a business that feels like YOU and creates wild "too good to be true" kind of success and income!

You know the saying, "your network is your net worth," but *how* do you actually make that saying true for your business and bank account?

Your community and relationships are at the core of your success and also lead to benefits like booking clients, word-of-mouth referrals, and opportunities to collaborate, speak, and continue to expand your reach.

Sounds simple enough, but who hasn't been on the other side of someone sliding into your DMs to "build a connection" and felt turned off knowing the bait and hook that's two messages away or hopped on that coffee chat only to get pitched an offer you never wanted?

It's not that there's anything wrong with DMs or pitching on a call (I do both!), but there's a key component missing for creating the kind of relationships that strategically serve your business long-term.

In this episode, we dive into ONE Question to Build a Win-Win Network and Net Worth. Join the conversation to learn the "secret" business owners with sustained success know about approaching relationship-building, the mindset that can repel others (hint: this is why so many sales strategies fall flat), and the kind of energy exchange that allows you to expand your network and net worth in a way that leads to epic win-wins for everyone (the best kind).
