July 28, 2022Using The Ripple Effect System to grow your Online Business, with Dallas Travers.
Text Me, I'd LOVE to hear from YOU!
“There’s so much hype about the overnight success and ‘go big or go home’... I think that the slow burn does not get the credit that it deserves.”
- Dallas Travers

If you’re still waiting for everything to fall into place perfectly so that you can become an overnight success, I’m going to need you to stop what you’re doing and hit play on this episode! This week, I’m sitting down with business coach, author, and podcast host Dallas Travers to talk about how to use The Ripple Effect System to grow your online business with more ease.

You may already know Dallas as the host of the Coaches on a Mission podcast (I was a guest on a recent episode!) or have read her award-winning book, The Tao of Show Business.

Dallas’s Ripple Effect System breaks down the process of growing your business into layers and teaches you how to build the smart habits that will help you create traction, get more done, and build a successful business WITHOUT getting stuck!

Listen now to learn how you can attract more clients (without fancy branding), get good at selling (without even selling), and create list-growing collaborations.

We talk about everything from:
The habits that you can pick up TODAY to help you achieve more over the next year
What you need to do BEFORE you narrow in on your niche (this may surprise you!)
Why you need to toss out the myth of the overnight success — and how that myth keeps side biz owners stuck in their 9to5 for longer than they need to be!

Highlights:‌ ‌
00:54 Intro
01:22 Meet Dallas Travers
03:20 The Overnight Success
05:00 Habits & traction
05:56 Don’t fall for the ads!

July 21, 2022In My Business: My Toughest Choice - SURRENDERING.
Text Me, I'd LOVE to hear from YOU!
“Sometimes, when you just let go of the wheel and you trust the process, it is AMAZING the things that will fall into place… whether it’s clients, other opportunities, collaborations, whatever it is.”
- CJ

In this episode, I reveal one of the most difficult things I’ve EVER had to do (or at least one of the Top Five most difficult).

And I promise that is NOT just me being dramatic!

One of the most challenging things I’ve ever had to do… is to let go and surrender. To pause, reflect, evaluate, and pray — and have faith and trust that the process is going to do right by me. Now, I know that many of us don’t have the strongest relationship with Trust but, like any relationship, you CAN work on it and build it up to a whole new level.

Trusting the process really means trusting YOURSELF, trusting that you are doing the very best that you can. After all, why would you do anything less for your business?

I KNOW that you’re out there being too hard on yourself and piling on the pressure. It’s time for you to hit pause on your struggles and hit play on this episode, because when you surrender and start trusting yourself, OPPORTUNITIES will find YOU!

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:
How shifting your mindset will help your best customers and opportunities find YOU, instead of the other way around!
How healing the relationship with your inner child will actually help you become a stronger business owner
What happens to us when we put too much constant pressure on ourselves — and why letting go is more productive than hustling

Highlights:‌ ‌
00:56 Intro
01:51 Surrender
02:51 My relationship with trust
03:44 How I deal with detours
04:26 Pressuring ourselves
05:09 Say NO to hustle & YES to the Universe
06:56 Surrendering IS NOT doing nothing
08:47 Trust yourself!
12:30 Outro

July 14, 20224 Questions to Build Resilience when Business Slows.
Text Me, I'd LOVE to hear from YOU!
“The decline you may be experiencing right now in your business has nothing to do with your skillset… it’s not that people don’t see the value in what you offer.”
- CJ

Times are tough… but you are tougher! 2022 has brought us new levels of inflation and some very difficult decisions to make. But even as business may be slowing at this time, you have to power to make changes, pivot, or push your way through the tough times. You are RESILIENT — after all, you made it through 2020.

The changes in the economy may have led you to lose some clients (I’ll be honest here, this has happened to me too) and you may be starting to feel discouraged. But the state of the economy doesn’t reflect your worth. Your skillset is every bit as valuable as it was before, you just need to take a step back, reevaluate, and make some shifts to the way you run your business.

In this episode, I share not only the four questions you NEED to ask yourself whenever your business begins to slow down, but I share my OWN struggles with the challenges of 2022.

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:
How to figure out whether you’ve placed yourself and your side-biz in a box — and how to get back out of it
What you need to work out in order to pivot in a way that keeps your side-biz RELEVANT
How to expand your business and create new revenue streams during slow periods

Highlights:‌ ‌
00:55 Intro
02:43 Inflation & the impact
03:59 Economy, entrepreneurship & risks
05:19 Are you wearing blinders?
06:25 How will you pivot?
08:07 What skills can you tap into?
09:24 How badly do you want it?

July 07, 20223 Key Factors to Consider when Setting Effective Boundaries.
Text Me, I'd LOVE to hear from YOU!
“Boundaries are limitations… and if you don’t limit certain people, and the access they have to you, then lines get blurred and it makes those relationships very difficult.”
- CJ

This is a very important episode about a topic that every entrepreneur ( and every woman) needs to master. That’s right, we need to talk about BOUNDARIES. Even though boundaries are incredibly important, we often struggle with setting them up and MAINTAINING them. Boundaries can come with a lot of guilt, especially for women!

But as an entrepreneur or someone with a side biz, it is ESSENTIAL that you communicate them… and remain firm.

What does it look like when you’re running a business without boundaries? It looks like clients calling you up at 9 pm. It looks like customers with demands that make no sense and leave you scrambling to keep them happy. It’s a whole lot of unnecessary stress that you wouldn’t be dealing with — if only you set boundaries and stuck by them!

In this episode, I share three important things to keep in mind when setting your boundaries. And remember, the harder a boundary is to set, the more necessary it is!

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:
How to determine the Who & Why of your boundary — and what it will do to improve or protect your wellbeing
How necessary boundaries will actually benefit BOTH sides (yes, including the person being limited!)
Examples of ways to communicate and enforce biz boundaries with customers and clients

Highlights:‌ ‌
00:56 Intro
01:48 Definition of “boundary”
02:51 Who & Why
04:35 Assessing your boundaries
06:29 Where to start with boundaries
07:55 Boundary & communication examples
12:50 Outro

Text Me, I'd LOVE to hear from YOU!

June 23, 2022In my Business: Navigating Guilt about Leaving the 9to5.
Text Me, I'd LOVE to hear from YOU!
“You need to put yourself first — that is ultimately what it comes down to.”
- CJ

This episode is designed to help you feel inspired, validated, and reassured on your entrepreneurial journey!

If you’re on the verge of leaving your 9to5 and turning your side biz into your full-time (or even just starting to think about it), then you may be dealing with a little bit of guilt. Maybe your job has given you valuable training opportunities or you’ve been promoted. Maybe your coworkers or managers heavily rely on your skills. You may feel like quitting your job is a type of abandonment… even if being there makes you feel miserable!

There are a few very good reasons why your guilt is misplaced — and why you should NEVER let corporate loyalty hold you back from following your dreams.

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:
Why you should NEVER feel guilty about leaving a corporate job, no matter how many opportunities they give you
Why the guilt can secretly be a good thing — and what feeling that guilt REALLY means
How to know when it’s time to move on (even when you’re getting promoted)

Highlights:‌ ‌
00:55 Intro
01:46 That guilty feeling
03:31 Guilt doesn’t go both ways
05:12 Taking the leap
08:15 Your happiness & fulfillment
10:31 How will you feel if you stay?

Text Me, I'd LOVE to hear from YOU!
“I think it’s important to A) allow your dreams to evolve and B) understand that you can give yourself grace and you can also experiment.”
- Pauleanna Reid

- CJ

June 02, 2022Finding Alignment, not Balance, for Your Life and Business.
Text Me, I'd LOVE to hear from YOU!
“ALIGNMENT, to me, brings to mind harmony, support… one thing complementing the other. It makes me think of my values.”
- CJ

In this episode, I want to talk about one of the biggest myths circulating in the entrepreneurial world.

As busy entrepreneurs, we all DESERVE some rest and relaxation, but somehow we still wind up struggling to get everything done so that we can actually schedule time off…

…in other words, we are all trying to find Balance!

The truth is that there is really no such thing as balance. Life will never, ever run out of curveballs, which means that there is no way to remain in a static state of balance. Every time you think that you’ve found balance, what happens? That’s right, the pendulum swings and you’re thrown off-kilter again! Plus, what looks like “balance” to one entrepreneur won’t work for another. We all have different needs when it comes to our time.

Balance is a myth. What you should really be trying to find is ALIGNMENT.

Finding alignment in your life can help you to reach your most desirable results personally and professionally, whatever that looks like for you! You can think of alignment as creating a line between where you are now and where you want to be — press play now and get ready to start mapping out your path!

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:
The major differences between finding Balance and finding Alignment
How the language we use can start to shift our mindsets
The questions you should be asking yourself in order to find alignment

Highlights:‌ ‌
00:55 Intro
01:57 No such thing as balance
02:47 What is alignment?
05:04 Flow and harmony
06:34 Mindset shifts
07:24 Questions to ask yourself
08:22 Putting it all together

May 26, 2022The Importance of Trademarking Your Brand, with Cynthia Mason.
Text Me, I'd LOVE to hear from YOU!
“Just because you have a name and logo out there, that doesn’t mean you own it. You actually have to trademark it in order to own it.”
- Cynthia Mason

Are your business name and logo unprotected right now? While you may have put a lot of work into coming up with the perfect branding for your side biz, you’re leaving it at risk if you haven’t gone through the trademark process. If someone tries to steal your branding and confuse your potential customers, you might be in for an expensive fight!

Even if you’re still at your 9to5 and your business is on the side, you should be taking steps to LEGALLY protect your biz.

That’s why this episode’s guest says that it’s NEVER too early to trademark your name and logo! I’m talking to Cynthia Mason, a Canadian lawyer and Trademark Agent who specializes in helping businesses protect their most valuable business assets — their trademarks.

We talk about everything, including:
What does it mean to trademark something — and what you can and should be trademarking in your biz

The types of names that you CANNOT trademark in Canada
