There comes a time when people start to question this whole entrepreneurship thing. They fear that it’ll interfere with their family. Or they think they’re not good at it and would be better off just getting a job, because owning and running a business has so many moving parts to it. In this episode, I reveal seven things that I feel define what being a successful entrepreneur looks like.

3:49 - What Google has to say about being a successful entrepreneur

5:54 - First thing I think an entrepreneur needs to be successful

7:33 - This 2nd characteristic allows you to get things done both personally and professionally

9:57 - An attribute that lets you continue having the drive you need when something fails

11:45 - Entrepreneurs whose business survived COVID had factor #4 going for them

13:47 - The 5th quality of a successful entrepreneur (and why I’m always shifting my business)

15:40 - The attribute you’ll want when circumstances around your business change

17:11 - Final factor of a successful entrepreneur

21:03 - Quick recap of all seven things a successful business owner needs

We’re in the letdown season now. Most people have given up on their New Year’s resolutions by this point. And when it comes to entrepreneurs quitting, I find that it’s often not because of anything to do with their business but with what’s going on elsewhere in their lives.

You only have so much energy to devote to your business. It, and life generally, can be complicated and exhausting. So in this episode, I talk about the relationship between building a life and building a business and the part your energy plays in both.

5:38 - Why people quit before they reach their goal

7:41 - The noise in your head that you need to turn the volume down on

10:08 - What to turn the volume up on instead

14:13 - What has an impact on your success and your ability to avoid shiny object syndrome

18:14 - Why your life should resemble this kitchen tool

22:43 - Why I believe a lot of women want to become entrepreneurs

24:49 - The question to ask yourself to avoid getting trapped in a business you hate

27:58 - What if your business feels like a job to you?

31:00 - The thing to seek out when you go through some life transition

Business owners always face the same problem of too much to do and too little time in which to do it. It contributes to you working on instead of in your business, spending time on things that don’t actually matter and eventually burning out.

You won’t grow your business that way, obviously, so what’s the answer? It lies in the systems you use. In this episode, I talk about what a system is and how to create one, how it benefits you, what you can systemize, and give examples of systems I feel all entrepreneurs need.

3:32 - The four attributes of a system and an example of one many people use

5:40 - The four benefits of using systems in your business

7:24 - What can you systemize? How do you figure out what to systemize?

9:24 - A simple process for creating a system you need in your business

12:04 - Some systems you might need as an entrepreneur

16:11 - Other systems for consideration

What if you could create the feeling of being ahead, even if you’re really not? Through receiving my own coaching, I’ve learned about something impactful that can increase your results by 10. But as powerful as it is, it’s also challenging because of the brain’s tendency to focus on the past. In this episode, I talk about future focus. I teach you the concept and give you some tips and examples to help you figure out how to shift your brain into future focus.

7:47 - The time for diving into the past and how I can tell what’s really going on in your head

12:25 - What you want to do with your current thoughts to propel you into the future

15:50 - An example of how focusing on the future can put you in a better place

20:19 - How I coach entrepreneurs to focus on the future instead of the past

23:08 - The challenge that can hold me back when I focus on my future

27:39 - Who do you want to be in 2023 and beyond?

I’m all about a good business plan. But unlike many, the ones I do with my clients don’t focus on action. Actions aren’t even the starting point to getting you on the road to success. 

In this episode, I explain why you should spend as much (if not more) time figuring out and solidifying your beliefs than creating an action plan.

2:58 - Why I advocate throwing away your to-do list in favor of a thought list

5:05 - How to know that you don’t really believe in what you do

6:45 - What to do as you consider your goals for the new year

9:27 - What makes your success inevitable (and lack of success explainable)

12:51 - Examples of how you can spiral into a cycle of fixing a problem that doesn’t exist

14:57 - Why this is something easier said than done (especially if you’re new at it)

I’m always asking myself, “What does my client need?” A good business owner pauses and evaluates their offers periodically, which I did at the start of last October. And from that process, I decided to make some changes to my coaching programs for women.

During the holidays, we want to be part of what’s going on. We want to be present in our personal lives and the lives of loved ones. But do we have the wrong ideas about being present in the moment?

Rebecca Hogg knew nothing was broken, but she felt things could be way better. When she and I started working together in early 2022, she wanted to excel in all areas of her life. However, she feared that she'd have to give up something in order to get something else.

Not only did Rebecca discover the opposite, but she ended up changing herself, her life, and her business in the process. In this episode, she and I discuss how she’s been able to put all of the puzzle pieces together and reveal the two main tools she uses that can help you do the same!

3:59 - A little of Rebecca’s professional background and how she discovered me

7:25 - Where Rebecca was personally and professionally when we first started working together

10:33 - What Rebecca loves about the Full Focus Planner and how she uses it in her life

14:04 - What Rebecca finds most valuable YNAB and how she has integrated it into her world

20:17 - How budgeting has helped Rebecca in her business

22:48 - Changes that Rebecca has undergone since we started working together

28:16 - A useful visual for shifting from a negative to a positive belief

32:11 - How Rebecca’s new way of thinking feels now compared to nine months ago

35:20 - How my coaching has benefitted Rebecca professionally and personally

As children, we expect our parents and caregivers to provide for us. In romantic comedies and fairytales, we see one partner “completing” the other or as the Prince Charming saves the princess from the evil witch playing on the screen. Even in the coaching world, there are clients who think the coach will fix everything!

So many of us are conditioned to think that other people will fulfill our own needs. But that’s our responsibility! In this episode, I reveal the four-step process to meet your own needs and explain why doing so is much better for the people you’d otherwise rely on.

4:52 - Why your higher needs are a gift

7:46 - Why you shouldn’t expect other people to meet your needs

10:59 - Why taking ownership of your needs is one of the kindest things you can do for others

12:41 - Step one of meeting your own needs, pay attention to your dirty plan

16:27 - Step number 2 of meeting your own needs is about welcoming the knowing

20:49 - The third step to meet your own needs, hold space for the solution to what you need to come to you

26:27 - The final step and how it can inspire you going forward

“What do you do?” You’ve heard that question quite a few times in your life, right? When it comes to what I do, people want to know what business coaching is and why entrepreneurs need it. In this episode, I offer a couple of my thoughts on how I approach business coaching and why it’s necessary.

But I don’t want you to just take my word for it. I’ve also invited one of my clients to explain. Cresta is a financial advisor and she reveals what our business coaching relationship looks like so you can get a sense of what it’s like to work with me as your coach. 

(Note: Due to the legalities of her business, I can’t share any of her profiles and will only refer to her by her first name).

3:21 - The collaborative approach I take with my business coaching practice

5:14 - Why you need to get yourself a business coach

10:32 - How having a coach has added to Cresta’s business in ways she couldn’t create by herself

15:36 - How a business coach can help you discover a business evolution you don’t quite realize is there

18:13 - How having a business mentor differs from having a business coach
