February 17, 2022#435: Coffee with Marie Forleo: Chatting About Purpose, Time Stress, & Eliminating A Workaholic Mentality
The woman inspiring millions shares her best tips on creating a “figure-it-out” mindset
The guest for this special episode needs no formal introduction, because she is honest-to-God, that big of a deal. She’s got wit, she’s got wisdom, and I am without a doubt her number one fangirl.
I am so excited to welcome back Marie Forleo to Online Marketing Made Easy.
Marie is, quite literally, the Queen of a socially conscious digital empire that touches millions of people every day. Plus, her energy and optimism is unmatched, and there’s nobody more deserving of such hype.
If you’ve tuned into any previous episodes with Marie as a guest, you surely understand why I keep having her back (I mean… if you know, you know.)
And if you don’t know Marie, here’s the formal introduction: She’s a highly successful entrepreneur, writer, and philanthropist who helps people dream big, take meaningful action, and create lasting results.
She’s also a New York Times bestselling author for her book, Everything is Figureoutable, the host of the award-winning show, MarieTV, and a philanthropist, which we’ll dive into in this episode.
But what’s really special is that over the past 13 years, Marie has gone from being my mentor and business coach to one of my dearest friends (whom I still look up to just as much as I did when we first met at the Frank Kern conference years ago), and I couldn’t think of a better person to navigate the ever-changing world of online marketing with.
I’m super excited to share this episode with you, especially because it’s a little different than interviews we’ve done in the past. This time around, we kept it super casual (as friends do!) and just let the conversation go wherever we felt like taking it.
In this episode, we discuss:
Why you should reflect on your start as an entrepreneur
How to hustle without becoming a workaholic
The importance of creating a company with purpose
And leaning into those little nudges
So grab your coffee (or spicy skinny margarita depending on what time of the day it is), and turn it up for my friend, Marie Forleo.
Here’s a glance at this episode...
[11:15] Marie wanted her business to help people beyond what she was teaching them. She didn't grow up with a lot of money, but she knew that having a scarcity mindset wasn't a good way to live. She committed to give 10% of what she earned to an organization that's doing good in the world.
[15:37] B-School helps people unpack what a purpose driven formula might look like for them. Part of Marie’s purpose-driven formula is offering scholarships.
[19:32] Time is the most precious non-renewable resource that we all have. Are you investing and lining up your time with what is most important to you?
[27:44] If Marie does anything in her business that doesn't feel right, she learns from that and doesn't do it again. It's her mission and desire to live in joy and creativity. She uses social media as a tool, but she doesn't have to be there all the time.
[33:49] People are recognizing some of the negative impacts of social media and spending less time on it. Cultivate your own list outside of social, which also allows you to turn around a profit more quickly.
[41:41] One of the most important things Marie has done for herself is take a coach training which introduced her to the idea that she could work from anywhere.

February 15, 2022#434: Thriving As An Introvert In An Extrovert Career
I’m living proof that introverts can be successful online entrepreneurs
Here’s one thing that may surprise you about me…
I’m an introvert to my core.
I know, I know. You’re probably thinking, “But Amy, you host a podcast! You do Facebook Lives all the time! You do in-person events with tons of people watching you! There’s absolutely no way you’re an introvert.”
But it’s true. And I am certainly not the only introvert in an ”extrovert career.” In fact, some of the best actors in the world, like Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks -- are introverts doing their thing in an industry that is dominated by extroverts. (And no, I’m not comparing myself in any way, shape or form to these magnificent humans, just proving a point!)
Of course, there are things I do all the time that make me slightly uncomfortable (ahem, anything in front of the camera), but like anything in business, you make a plan, stick to it, and overcome your challenges. Plus, if it doesn’t make you uncomfortable, are you really pushing yourself to grow? #truthbomb
I wear my introvert badge with pride -- and if you’re an introvert, you should too, my sweet friend. In no way does being an introvert make you any less talented, capable, or successful. And if I’m being completely honest, knowing how to take care of yourself, and allowing yourself that much-needed “me” time when you really need it, is something to be proud of.
So in this episode, I’m going to share ways that I nurture my inner introvert while still growing a successful business that requires me to be out in front of the world. You’ll learn:
The ways I mentally prepare myself for stepping out of my comfort zone
What I do to recover after “putting myself out there” and how I pump myself up for the next time
How I avoid complete overwhelm in an industry that demands you constantly be “on”
Here’s a glance at this episode...
[02:40] Even as an introvert, it’s absolutely possible to be a highly successful entrepreneur. I'm going to share the ways I handle being an introvert in a business that requires me to be out in front of the world.
[05:19] I sometimes dread doing big, live events like Entrepreneur Experience, because it forces me to get out of my comfort zone. That’s why I remind myself how I feel after -- which is fantastic. It’s definitely worth it to feel a little uncomfortable and awkward in order to get you to where you want to be.
[07:50] After any live event or situation where I put myself out there, I need to book some alone time with my family. Now I plan for it and work it into my schedule.
[10:51] There are moments that I have to show up as an extrovert. While it can be uncomfortable, I do it because it’s important to create a community where people feel a connection to me.
[11:41] I am always in-tune and aware of what's going on in my body. When I start to resent an experience or an engagement, I know I'm being someone that I am not. While I’m willing to step into a place that is uncomfortable, I'm able to recognize when I’m staying there too long.

February 10, 2022#433: How To Create An Ideal Week for Optimal Focus, Productivity, & Well-Being
Accomplish your business (& personal) goals AND have more freedom
Say these three words out loud:
Ideal work week.
Say them again.
Ideal work week.
Be honest… have you ever heard three words that sound so beautiful?
If you would have asked me to envision my ideal work week back in my corporate days, I probably would have laughed -- because I was so far off from having one.
Even in the early days of being my own boss, let me tell you, my work weeks were far less than ideal. It’s taken A LOT of trial and error (11 years of it, in fact) to nail it down -- but the good news is, I’ve finally perfected it.
That’s right, my friend -- I have set up my work week in a way that allows me to work towards my goals AND have the free time to spend with the ones that I love.
It’s helped me be more focused, productive, and… here’s the clincher… I don’t even work Fridays anymore (You can learn all about my 4-day work week in this episode.)
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
What it means to “theme” your weekdays to maximize productivity
How to set boundaries based on your weekly schedule
Tips and tricks on working with a Virtual Assistant to plan the week ahead
Simple ways to stay organized and on-task
My hope is that you’ll be able to implement some of the strategies I share so that you, too, can accomplish your goals AND live life on your terms. Sounds ideal, right? ;-)

February 08, 2022#432: Navigating True Friendships As An Entrepreneur
Why I keep my business close and my friends even closer
I love my friends. I mean, L-O-V-E. I am so beyond grateful for them -- they understand me, I understand them, and they’re the type of people I know always have my back.
But as you’ll hear in this episode, this hasn’t always been the case. It’s taken many years, lots of tears, and countless hard conversations to get to a place where I am 100% confident that the friends I have in my life are MY PEOPLE.
Let me back up a bit and explain why.
As an entrepreneur, friendships can be especially tough. Even friendships that you’ve had for years can take a big turn when you make the decision to ditch the 9 to 5 and commit to growing a business.
Your priorities and conversations shift when you become an entrepreneur -- your business is your baby, after all. Instead of catching up on the latest episode of Billions over skinny spicy margaritas at happy hour, you’re now rapid-fire texting your friend about your upcoming product launch, or your new copywriter that just can’t seem to nail your brand’s voice.
Over time, this dynamic can wear on a relationship. At some point, you feel like your friend starts to resent you, judges your decisions, or simply isn’t interested in what you have to say anymore.
Can you relate?
And if your friends are ALSO entrepreneurs, that’s a whole different ballgame that’s equally as tricky to navigate.
Regardless of if your friend is a 9 to 5er or an entrepreneur like you, it’s not that you don’t love them or aren’t grateful for having them in your life. It’s that friendships have seasons, and if I’ve learned anything over the last 14 years of having my own business, it’s totally ok to move on – sometimes it’s the best thing we can do to grow.
In this episode, I’ll get really deep about my own friendships, and share with you:
What I’ve learned about navigating friendships as an entrepreneur
The qualities I look for in a friend, and why
How I know it’s time to move on from a friendship or lean into it
I even open up about something I’ve NEVER talked about on the podcast -- the challenges I’ve had being a boss to my best friend in the world (and former CMO), Chloe -- my Cho Cho.
This shortie episode is SUPER personal and near and dear to my heart, so I hope you enjoy listening.

February 03, 2022#431: Why Women Should Be Investing (& How To Do It Well) with Bola Sokunbi
Start investing today and put your money to work.
When I first started investing and making my money work for me… I was super intimidated!
In fact, the immediate thought that comes to mind when I think “investor” is a middle-aged man, in a dark suit, briskly walking down a city street with a Starbucks coffee in hand. Maybe he’s wearing a fitted t-shirt instead of a button-down -- if he’s got a little swag.
I am, quite literally, describing Bobby Axelrod from Billions. I love Bobby’s character, but… I think you would agree, that’s definitely NOT ME. ;-)
Google doesn’t think it’s me, either. In fact, if you do a Google image search of “investor,” guess what turns up? Ninety-nine percent of the images that populate are of the guy I just described above (ahem, Bobby) -- and no women.
It’s no wonder I feel slightly uncomfortable thinking about investing -- because women, especially millennials and older, have been so conditioned to think that you have to be a man (and have a ton of money) to invest.
But here’s the thing…
That impression is totally wrong. The game has changed, and women are investing money like never before (and Google, if you’re reading this, please push some female investor images to your first page, okay?)
Investing money doesn’t have to mean putting millions of dollars into a hedge fund -- it simply means making your money work for you over time. The key here is, though, that you have to actually GET STARTED investing in order to be successful in it, and that my friend, is often the biggest hurdle.
That’s why I’m so excited for you to hear the interview I had with Bola Sokunbi, who is the go-to expert for investing, whether you’re an experienced investor or just starting out -- and definitely if you’re a female investor.
She’s a Certified Financial Education Instructor, best-selling author, speaker, writer, podcaster, social media influencer, and a mama to twins -- which makes her THAT much more impressive.
In our interview, we discuss:
How to get started investing, even if you NEVER thought you’d be able to
Some of the barriers to investing that women face, and how we’re overcoming them
Tips on investing your money smarter so you can retire before the age of 65
The good, the bad, and the ugly about cryptocurrency, and if it's right for you
Think of it like Investing 101, with a little extra kick. ;-)

February 01, 2022#430: 5 Goals I’m Committing To This Year
The strategies I’m using to feel great AND accomplish my goals in 2022 .
That’s right, friend! I am getting fully transparent with you about what I am doing to set myself up for success in 2022.
I have always been big on goal setting, planning, and setting intentions for the year ahead (it’s a BIG part of why I’ve seen such success as an entrepreneur)…
… but as you know, I struggled with some unexpected depression and anxiety in 2021. This year, I am determined to get ahead of it.
That’s why I’m trying out some FRESH approaches to goal setting that will not only help me to achieve some really cool things both personally and professionally, but ALSO get me in the right mindset before taking on each challenge that I set for myself.
Because let’s be honest -- ”success” and “achievement” are not only about what you accomplish, they’re just as much about how you FEEL.
In this episode, I’ll share:
The goal-setting strategy I LOVE that puts emphasis on how you want to feel, not what you do
The 5 goals that I’ve set for myself in 2022, why I chose to set those particular goals, and how I plan to achieve them
How I set goals that are challenging yet attainable
I’m hoping that by listening to this episode, you’ll hold me accountable, stay motivated to accomplish the goals you’ve already set for yourself in 2022, AND be inspired to get back on the horse if you’ve fallen victim to the infamous #QuittersDay (more on that in the episode.)
Here’s a glance at this episode...
[04:01] One new thing I’m trying in 2022 is identifying the core feelings that I want to experience this year. I want to feel trusting, courageous, energized, in the zone, and luminous while I'm working on my goals and after I achieve them.
[10:27] Take action: What are 3-5 feelings you want to experience over and over again this year? Think about how you want to feel and write it down.
[11:08] Goal #1: Do the 29029 challenge. This is where you climb a mountain a certain amount of times (in a certain amount of time). All in all, it adds up to the equivalent of climbing Everest.
[14:20] Goal #2: Create a certification program for my business. I don't know what it looks like, but I’m going to put together ideas this year and launch it in 2023.
[15:39] Goal #3: Take a sabbatical. I've been dreaming of taking a sabbatical for years, but in 2022 I’m actually doing it. I'm taking off the last half of May and the entire month of June to spend at my lake house.
[17:50] Goal #4: Create a project plan for my new book. My book won’t launch until January of 2023, but I need to have an entire project promotion plan dialed in by 3/31.
[21:40] Goal #5: Create a 3-year vision of my company. I want to scale the business and incorporate different models that I’ve never tried before, which means I need to plan further out.

January 27, 2022#429: 6 High Performance Habits To Transform Your Life & Business with Brendon Burchard
The world’s leading life coach reveals what gives high-achievers the edge
If you’re ever scrolling through your social media feeds and you see a personal development quote that strikes a chord with you (in all the right ways), it’s most likely from today’s podcast guest.
His name is Brendan Burchard, and I have a hunch that you’ve probably heard of him. ;-)
He is a 3-time New York Times bestselling author (if you haven’t read his book High-Performance Habits, then READ.IT.NOW.), a globally respected high-performance coach, and one of the world’s most-watched, followed, and quoted personal development trainers in the world.
You’ve heard me talk about Brendan on the podcast a ton, and it’s because he is the OG of digital content and online education. Seriously! He was an influencer before it even became cool.
And beyond that, Brendan is one of the first people that inspired me to ditch the corporate world and embrace entrepreneurship (more on our first meeting, and what he said to get me to take action, in the episode.)
We talk all-things ambition and achievement, PLUS:
Brendan’s surprising journey to becoming one of the most sought after high-performance coaches in the world
How to move on from the victim mentality after two really tough years of the pandemic
6 specific habits you should commit to if you want to be successful in the long term, and how to put them in your daily practice
Two areas of marketing Brendan would focus on if he had to rebuild his business from scratch
The BEST piece of advice Brendan has ever gotten, and his most proud piece of content that resulted from that advice
After listening to this episode, you’ll 100% understand why I am such a Brendan Burchard #fangirl.
Plus, just to make things extra fun, I’ve created a free quiz that you can take to get a curated Online Marketing Made Easy playlist that is specific to where you are on your entrepreneurial journey.
Here’s a glance at this episode.
[29:20] High-Performance Habit #1: Seek Clarity. High performers, more often than underperformers, seek clarity. Doing so requires discipline in asking for help and finding out who you are.
[30:41] High-Performance Habit #2: Generate Energy. High performers do things specifically to stimulate mental, emotional, and physical energy, like practicing meditation, exercising frequently, and eating well.
[31:41] High-Performance Habit #3: Raise Necessity. Necessity means that you have the psychological need for success. There needs to be a clear reason for doing what you’re doing and the meaning behind it.
[35:54] High-Performance Habit #4: Become More Productive. High performers are determined to continuously increase their productivity and do things like blocking time, and taking a break every 50 minutes to recharge.
[41:03] High-Performance Habit #5: Develop Influence. We must have influence for people to believe in us, buy from us, cheer for us, or open doors for us.
[44:42] High-Performance Habit #6: Demonstrate Courage. Courage means that you take action even when there’s risk, doubt, or uncertainty. High performers are also not afraid to speak up for themselves and others.

January 18, 2022#426: 62% Of Top Business Executives Do This & You Should Too!
Learn To Trust Your Gut In Business
In this quick episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the hardest lessons I’ve learned as an entrepreneur.
It’s not having hard conversations.
Not making revenue projections.
Not keeping a tidy to-do list or a pretty project plan.
In this episode, I’m talking about trusting your gut as an entrepreneur. Which is a tall order. We all want to trust our gut… but it’s not always that simple.
Because every day, entrepreneurs…
→ Navigate fear
→ Bear responsibility for the success – or lack of success – in our biz
→ Feel the weight of the effects that our big and small decisions make on others
→ And, if we’re being honest, try hard not to question our own ability
Right?
“Going with your gut” can get muddled and lost between ALL we’ve got going on.
But it’s also a non-negotiable in entrepreneurship.
So after 13 years of running my own online business, I’m sharing how I’ve learned to hone this instinct and stick to my guns…
…including one big mistake I made by hushing my inner nudges and going ahead with a decision anyways.
So give this episode a listen and let my lessons learned be your lessons learned.
Cheers to you, friend, as we learn how to slow down, listen, and trust ourselves.
Here’s a glance at this episode...
[02:35] Should you trust your gut? 62% of top business execs let their gut lead the way and always trust it.
[05:25] There's a significant difference between being too picky and knowing in your gut that it's the wrong choice.
[07:20] Notice what your initial gut feeling is and then notice what happens next. Are you being too picky? Are you really feeling something that you need to pay attention to?
[10:32] After making a decision, start journaling. When doubt starts to creep back in, go back and read about why you made the decision in the first place.
[11:13] If you feel it in your bones and it doesn't work out as planned, it was still meant to be.
[13:25] Being in tune and having the ability to trust yourself puts you on a whole different level. Go with your gut!
