Business growth and nature have more in common than meets the eye.

Let’s explore the parallels between the seasons of nature and the cycles of business. Nature experiences a continuous cycle of change, from the blooms of spring to the harvest of autumn, and finally the hibernation of winter. 

Similarly, businesses experience their own set of seasons, from the growth and expansion of a startup to the challenges of sustaining success in a competitive market.

But what can we learn from nature's changing seasons, and how can you apply those lessons to your businesses? 

In this episode, we'll dive into the different stages of business growth, the challenges that come with each phase, and strategies for adapting to change.

Check out what you’ll learn:

• Life and business growth aren’t all roses. In order to enjoy those sweet smelling flowers you need to put in the effort  and give the plant exactly what it needs: nutrients, water, sunlight, and eventually rest.
• When life’s circumstances force you and your business into a winter hibernation, and what that can look like for you.
• How you can use the various seasons of your business for expansion, downsizing, and shifting when you see changes in the industry, your interests alter, so that you’re able to adapt accordingly.

Decide the style or brand of speaker you’ll be and not wait for others to tell you.

If there’s one thing I know, it’s easier for you to be you than to mimic or copy someone else. Deciding on the type of speaker you’ll be and how you’ll make the audience feel is no exception.

Check out what you’ll learn:

• From my days coaching high level executives, I’d ask them this one question that helped open their eyes to the possibilities.
• Your “style” becomes the lens that you look at your presentation to keep yourself on point and on brand.
• Stepping into and BEing that speaker becomes easy when you teach your subconscious mind who and what to step into.

PLUS, you’ll never go wrong being you and your style of speaker.

Improv is the unknown and isn’t that what life is.

Embracing the unknown and being able to go with the flow will serve you in so many areas of your life.

Improv in theatre is when the plot, characters and dialogue of a game, scene or story are made up in the moment. But improv goes beyond the theatre stage; it’s life.

Speaking, wither in person or virtually is improv. One of the things I teach my clients is how to handel the unknown while delivering your presentation, so that they always look like the pro.

Check out what you’ll learn:

• How improv isn’t just reserved for the acting world and how you can use these improve skills in your life and business.
• How improvisational skills can be used when speaking to audiences, so that you look like the pro and expert in the room.
• A few ideas of how even the best laid plans can go astray and how you can make it look like this is exactly how you planned it world work out.

Your current situation is directly related to your current habits.

Your day consists of a string of habits all day long. Your subconscious brain, like your personal assistant, wants to do as much on auto pilot and not bother you with “thinking” what to do next. Those habits are either pulling you toward or away from the goals and dreams you’re trying to work towards.

Each new level requires new habits. In this episode, I talk about how to determine your current habits and if they’re the right habits to get you to achieving your goals.

Check out what you’ll learn:

• How to evaluate your current habits by honestly looking at how you use your time and money. Your calendar and bank statements don’t lie.
• Track your time using the Time Tracking Sheet here for free.
• Look at the symptoms your life and business are showing to determine your current habits. Similar to annual blood work, your business has symptoms that you can look at: roster of clients, # of weekly sales calls, profitability to name a few.
• What got you here, won’t get you there. Determine your end goal and what habits you’ll need to have that end goal.

PLUS, two valuable tips to get you putting the habits you need to achieve your goals and dreams, because you deserve to live your very best life.

Selling is the lifeblood of your business. Without sales, you have a non-profit.

So, let's get down to business. If you want to make those sales calls feel less like a chore and more like a victory lap, then you need to listen to what I'm about to say. In this episode, I'm sharing with you some real, honest-to-goodness advice that will make selling a breeze.

Trust me, you won't want to miss this. So, grab a pen and paper and get ready to take some notes. We're about to turn your non-profit into a profit!

Check out what you’ll learn:

• Understand the misconception about sales and sales calls and how to really perceive sales calls, so that you come from the right perspective and hear YES more!
• What I  see and hear happening during sales calls from my clients and on social, which is taking you down the wrong avenue.
• Discover a new way to make sales calls easier, so that the right people are booking calls and not those “tire-kickers” who are shopping around.
• The advantage to being positioned as the expert and attracting perfect clients who want to work with you.

Tired of waiting for success to magically appear at your doorstep? 

It's time to take control of your life or business and start making things happen. Sitting around won't lead to any real change - it's up to you to make it happen. Don't compare yourself to others who seem to have it all figured out. They likely worked hard and took action to get where they are.

I've been where you are, and it's not an easy place to be. But I learned a valuable lesson: success comes to those who take action. 

In this episode, I share my own journey of self-discovery and how I overcame my insecurities to become a powerful woman who could create the life she wanted.

Don't wait any longer to make a change. Listen to this latest episode and learn how you too can become the powerful, successful person you're meant to be. It's time to burn your princess dress and step into your power.

Here’s a snippet of what you’ll hear in this episode:

• How you can’t just throw money on a problem, you actually have to do the doing to make changes in your life and business
• How you do one thing is how you do all things. Noticing your patterns in one area is a cue to other areas: business, making money, parenting, taking responsibility, getting healthy.
• There is no BIG strategy you’re missing that’s going to make it all work out. It’s about taking responsibility for what you want and holding yourself to that desire.
• When I noticed that my lack of self love was holding me back and and what I did to overcome this obstacle. And, I get raw and real about my own struggles with taking responsibility for my life and successes.

Don't miss out on this powerful episode that will inspire you to step up and take ownership of your life. Listen now and start making the changes you've been dreaming of.

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”  #TRUTH

The people we surround ourselves with have a profound impact on our mindset, behavior, and ultimately, our success. 

Positive, supportive, and encouraging individuals can uplift us, challenge us to grow, and help us reach new heights. On the other hand, negative, toxic, or unsupportive individuals can drain our energy, lower our self-esteem, and hold us back from reaching our potential. 

In this episode, we'll explore how you can evaluate the impact of the people in your life and make intentional choices to surround yourself with a community that lifts you up and helps you thrive.

Join us as we explore:

• The key question to ask yourself to identify the right people to spend time with
• The benefits of belonging to a mastermind or community and how it can support your business growth
• How the people you surround yourself with can help you take your business to the next level

And if you're feeling isolated or lacking a supportive community, don't worry – we've got you covered. Tune in to discover how you can find new people who encourage and uplift you.
