Today, I want to take you through my journey in 2023.

I’m going to share with you the lessons I've learned, the changes I've made, and the insights I've gained. 

2023 was a year of transformation for me. And while reflecting on the past year, I realized the importance of embracing change and simplifying my business during challenging times.

In this episode of the podcast, come take a walk down the 2023 memory lane with me.

Sometimes I don’t think cheerleaders get the credit they deserve…

Hear me out on this one.

Have you ever thought about the role of a cheerleader at a game?

The whole point of the cheerleader is to get the crowd going, right? When they get the crowd cheering and celebrating, the team gets excited. And when they’re excited, it fuels them to perform better.

So if cheerleaders are SUCH an important part to the momentum to a game, why do WE as business owners struggle so much with celebration?

I've noticed that for many people, including myself, celebrating our achievements can be a challenge.

 It's all too easy to focus on what didn't go as planned, rather than acknowledging and celebrating our accomplishments.

In this episode of the podcast, I want to stress that taking the time to celebrate is not just about feeling good. It's a crucial part of maintaining momentum in your business. We will discuss the importance of celebrating achievements in business. We will also touch on how  internal momentum can lead to external success. 

This episode is all about learning how to feel good about the work you’ve done, you’re doing, and what you will do as a business owner. Get ready to learn how to appreciate YOU better this episode!

YOU’LL LEARN:

• How the importance of celebration in business and achieving goals has a direct correlation with the momentum of your business.
• Why you might have difficulty celebrating accomplishments as a business owner.
• How to effectively celebrate small wins in your business.
• Why identifying momentum indicators in your business is an effective practice.

This episode is for the coaches…

I know not every coach has had a tough year, but I've spoken to many who feel like they've been under the microscope more than ever.

Let’s just say some of us are struggling to thrive through the tough times in our business.

However, there are a few crucial tips and tricks that every kind of coach could easily implement in the upcoming year to find their stride, and thrive in their business.

If you’re ready to jumpstart your business and get back on track with the thing you know you’re meant to do in this world - and the difference that you KNOW you can make, then make sure you listen to this episode!

Can we all agree that being a business owner is such an emotional rollercoaster? 

Owning a business comes with both highs and lows, twists and turns…

And sometimes it’s the lows, twists and turns that really put your stomach and anxiety into excruciating knots. 

But your business does NOT have to make you feel this way when you’re going through the “normal motions” as a business owner. It is completely normal to feel vulnerability, frustration, and anxiety as a business owner. 

However, the way we handle these different vulnerabilities is what makes the difference between a good business owner, and a great one! 

With 2024 creeping up in the next few weeks, I thought this would be a perfect time to chat more about how to handle these big emotions as a business owner.

On today’s episode of Simple Online Business, I’m giving you 5 tips on things you can do to feel better when you’re having a down business day. The most important thing is that you build up your own toolkit of things that work for you - so my intention is that at least one of these will really resonate for you and be something you can reliably turn to when you need a little boost.


You’ll learn:

• How the influence of internal mindset relates directly to external circumstances in your business.
• Why learning how to overcome negative feelings in your business is a necessary skill as a successful business owner.
• How experimenting with different grounding techniques will allow you to run your business more effectively.
• Why reflecting on past achievements on your business can benefit future projects.

When you think of goal setting, what are some thoughts that immediately come to mind? 

For some, it’s: overwhelm, stress, anxiety, and fear. And because of these feelings, some business owners will just run their businesses without setting goals. 

If you’re this kind of business owner, then are you really working towards goals?

Or, are you simply just doing things for your business to check them off of a list?

 I think it’s time for us to rewrite the narrative when it comes to goal setting…

And make it both a fun and challenging direction in your business! 

Will we immediately find things that work for us and for our business? 

No! But that’s part of the process, right? 

Finding things that work for us, and allowing ourselves to learn along the way. 

On this episode of the podcast, we are going to chat about the role of self-doubt and imposter syndrome when it comes to goal setting. But in order to see business growth, we as business owners need to overcome these negative emotions we feel, and  learn how to embrace failure as part of the goal setting process. 

You’ll learn:

• How it’s Important to make time for goal setting and planning for growth in your business
• Why finding a goal setting system that works for both you and your business could be a game changer for 2024
• How you should always be questioning the purpose of your goals and how they are evolving overtime in the new year
• Why learning from setbacks and embracing failure will actually lead you on the path to successful goal setting

Overwhelm is a bad feeling, and I think we can all agree with that.

 It doesn't feel good in any aspect of our lives, and for a lot of people, it's really a shutdown emotion when it comes to running a  business.

Many of us will just say, “I won’t get to a place of overwhelm. I won’t let that happen in my business.”

But let’s be honest…

Saying that you want to avoid being overwhelmed in your business is easier said than done.

But there are steps you can take to either avoid it, or manage it better! 

In this week’s episode of the podcast, we are going to dive deeper into the concept of overwhelm in business. I will also divulge for you some of my favorite, but necessary steps you can take, to make sure you can avoid being overwhelmed wherever it may try to creep into your business.


You’ll learn:

• Why it’s important to set clear goals as a business owner, coupled with achievable action plans and simple business structure.
• How constantly consuming business content and getting caught up in the latest marketing strategies could actually be hurting your business. 
• Why focusing on a few key platforms and methods for your business is an effective business strategy for any kind of business owner.

Have you ever heard the saying, “failing to plan, is planning to fail?” Most business owners know how important having a business plan is for the success of their business…

But the idea of actually executing it can be overwhelming, to say the least! 

Here’s my hot take on most of the  “typical” business plans you’ll find on Google…

Most of the things they say you need, you don’t. 

In this week’s episode, we are going to focus on the importance of an effective business plan, what things you can leave out, and what your plan will look like for your business. 

You’ll learn:

-What is the importance of a simple business plan, and how it can lead you to success.
-How knowing your target audience, along with goal setting, is much more important than an intricate business plan.
-Why researching your competitors is essential to differentiate your business from the competition.

Welcome to the end of what was the beginning of my podcast experience as a business mentor. If you’ve caught an episode or two of our most recent episodes, I’ve  talked about how I am retiring this podcast and launching a brand new podcast from scratch in January 2023.

So, I wanted to have  an official kind of retrospective episode. An episode reflecting and talking about all of the changes and nuances that come with creating a new podcast,  and sharing some of my thought process around it.

I have been putting this podcast out there for four and a half years. I started in the middle of 2018, so that's four and a half years. And I think for many of you listening, the idea of stopping an established and successful podcast seems like a terrifying leap of faith.

But it is so exciting to me. There is so much I have learned and experienced as a business owner because of this podcast, and I am SO excited to take you on this journey of reflection at the end of the path of Online Business Building Mamas.

This week, I will share and chat with you about the things I believe should be the staples in growing a stable and consistent business. While also, being able to build balance into your current commitments and people in your life. 

You’ll learn:

• Why it’s important to make room both in and for your business to thrive to it’s fullest potential
• How showing up as your true and most authentic self is what your business need to be successful
• Why being clear about the message and the content you provide from your business will bring you happiness
