The Get Shit Done Podcast

In this episode, Kelsey explores the often misunderstood concept of working in your business versus on your business. She offers real insights and practical steps to help business owners strike the correct balance to achieve their business objectives. She starts by explaining the difference between the two, noting that working 'in' one's business involves the money-making operations. On the other hand, working 'on' a business involves strategy, planning, and improving efficiency.

However, Kelsey emphasizes that not having clear goals and an understanding of progress metrics can cause stagnation or excessive shifting in strategies. She suggests regularly auditing one's business attitudes and tasks, creating concrete goals, and realizing key markers in sales and other operations to align actions with targets. She also provides her own schedule as an example of how to effectively divide time for inside and outside business operations.

In this episode, I'm reflecting on the transition from my previous recording space and diving into my forward-thinking approach for the new year. Rather than succumbing to the typical New Year's resolution trends, I share four overarching themes guiding my business strategy for 2024.

The first theme centers around a "season of simplicity," emphasizing the power of streamlining and decluttering in business. I challenge the notion of scalability strategy as a trap, drawing from personal experiences and encouraging listeners to reevaluate the true scalability of their offers. The subsequent themes touch on mastering existing endeavors before adding new ones, the importance of addressing challenging conversations instead of avoiding them, and my commitment to a "hell yes" approach in promoting only what truly excites me.

Throughout the episode, I provide tangible examples and personal anecdotes, offering valuable insights for business owners seeking clarity and focus in the coming year.

I'll be the first to tell you –investing in branding can exponentially grow your business! But if you don't build a strong foundation first, even the most amazing branding won't help you find the success you seek.

So the question is –how solid is your business foundation? Are you even ready to invest in branding? If you do invest in branding, are you going to implement the designer’s work into your online channels?

These are all questions to consider –because investing in professional branding requires time, energy and work from you. That is if you want to reach the success you see people talking about online. 

The true power of success lies within you (although outsourcing and investing in service providers can absolutely give you a leg up). 

And to help you out, my incredible guest is shedding some much-needed light and insight on building a strong business foundation so you’re ready to invest in growing an online business –especially when it comes to your branding!

Emy Dyer is a seasoned graphic and web designer who leverages her design solutions and strategic prowess to propel businesses to five, six, seven, and even eight-figure success. She's been a college professor, course creator, and, more recently, clothing designer! 

To quote the branding Queen herself, "The energy I'm bringing in is like, stir shit up and help people succeed. That's the vibe."

And I'm here for it! 

Today, we're talking all about her empire entrepreneurship journey, including the different pivots she's made, the #1 thing that leads her clients toward success, how she stays true to her values, her best advice for product-based businesses and service providers regarding their branding and website, why she prefers flat rate versus value-based pricing, and so much more!

If you're ready to get the inside scoop on Emy's journey and insights, hit that play button, and let's go!!

We all know there is immense power in community (or at least, we should –and if not, consider this your sign to learn more about it by tuning in!).

But I truly believe this power source of community stems from coming alongside other people, building connections, putting yourself out there, supporting each other, and realizing the value of taking a chance and just going for it.

You know what’s even more powerful? When your community meets in person –because the value-add of proximity amplifies all of the amazing benefits of being a part of a community!

My two guests today are prime examples of how transformative communities can be for your mindset, your business, and your life –and I am pumped for this conversation!!

Today, I am talking to Stacey Stufflebeam and Karina Baldwin. You probably remember Karina from episodes #84 and #137, but in a nutshell, she uses her background in Sport & Performance Psychology to help female Business Owners become the best version of themselves while calming the f*ck down and actually enjoying the success they are finding.

Stacey Stufflebeam has been an online yoga teacher (RYT 500/eRYT 200) for over 16 years and specializes in helping high achievers go after their dreams and find peace in the present moment.

In this double guest episode, we’re talking about the beauty of community, why in-person retreats are so transformative, how a community can support the acceleration of your business, the power of proximity, and how our 2023 Baja Business Retreat pushed Karina and Stacey out of their comfort zone and gave them the confidence to go for it and get shit done. Plus, so much more!

To grow and scale a thriving business, you 1000% have to get clear on where your business is going (and why) and how you will get there. 

This means listing out what’s working, what’s not, what you love to do, what you need to do, and what you can delegate or outsource to achieve those big biz goals. 

In today’s hot seat coaching episode, I’m talking to the amazing Claire, owner, and designer of Musically Minted, an online music-inspired apparel and accessories brand. Claire has accomplished so much in a short time –we’re talking doubled revenue year over year while working full-time during the first two years!!

Right now, Claire is in this beautiful chapter in her business where she needs to reevaluate a few things and get clear on what tasks move the needle forward and identify key tasks she can outsource –and then take action.

During our coaching call, we had a raw and honest conversation about what it takes to go from a small-time one-woman show to a scaling, successful growth phase of business and the steps she can take to keep growing! 

Claire and I talk about the importance of knowing where your business is going (and why), how to work through the mindset challenges around reaching your business goals, the intricacies of making your first intentional hire, and why you need to clean up your systems to help support that next level of growth.

I know so many business owners will see themselves in Claire’s journey and learn from her experience and where she’s currently at in her business trajectory. 

So, if you’re ready to learn how to get your ducks in a row to make your next hire a success and intentionally support your growth trajectory, hit that play button, and let’s go!!
