Right now, you might be in a season where you’re thinking about the future, planning for next year's big moves, or setting intentions for your business. This probably involves setting goals to help you achieve the success you crave.

But have you pressed pause and considered whether you’re crystal clear on what your definition of success is?

Do you see yourself doing what you’re currently doing 10, 15, or 20 years down the road? If the answer is no, it’s time for you to make some shifts and start exploring other paths –especially if you are considering business ownership. 

Because if you want to find success and the work-life balance you crave, you need to have the awareness to know who you are, what feels right (and what doesn’t), and make decisions that reflect this. 

Luckily, today’s guest is giving us an inside look at her perspective and experience of making big decisions that prioritize how she wants to show up in life and in business. 

I am talking to the incredible Courtney Murphy, the Co-Owner and Lead Business Educator at Revival Hair Company, who is passionate about educating fellow hairstylists on building and maintaining a successful business with a healthy work-life balance. 

Courtney is joining me to talk about how she worked backward to build a business that allowed her to prioritize her family while still doing the work she loved. We’re having an honest, real conversation about what it takes to run a business after you pass that proof of concept stage, and I’m excited for it!

Get ready for a packed episode filled with tactical pieces you can use in your own business, including the mindset work necessary to grow, the value of building systems to understand how your brain works, how you do your best work, how you’re productive, and how you have the confidence in the choices that reflect your ‘why’ in business and in life.

If you’re ready to learn how you can take action to make those goals and dreams a reality, hit that play button, and let’s go!!

Do you want to know the No. 1 thing I wish every client would do before they hired me as a business coach?

It’s actually pretty simple. But it’s also overlooked and undervalued —and I want to change this narrative –because it’s SO important. 

Get clear on where you’re going and why. Told you it was simple!

In today’s episode, I’m diving into this Number #1 hack (and THE most important questions) I wish every client clearly knew the answer to –before they ever reach out in my DMs or apply to work with me. 

It’s a bold statement, I know!

But here’s the thing. 

I LOVE being in the thick of it and supporting my clients. But sometimes, it would be better suited if business owners just sat with themselves for a while and got clear on where they want to go and why before hiring me because we would actually be able to progress so much farther together. 

Inside this episode, I want to equip you with the understanding, the confidence, the clarity, and the peace to make decisions and execute on your goals and dreams –starting with where you’re going and why. 

If you’re ready to hear about the power of coming together, why a supportive community is key, and the unexpected solution for clarifying where you’re going and why (with a fantastic client example), hit that play button, and let’s go!!

My secret weapon for growing my hair for the wedding:

Do you have a new offer you’re considering adding to your business?

Maybe you’re nervous to press that launch button. 

Or maybe you don’t even know how to tackle the messaging, marketing, or positioning of your new offer. 

I get it! 

New things (especially new offers!!) can seem scary, but I promise, they don’t have to be! Tackling a new offer or new service or new business is absolutely achievable if you simply take whatever this new thing is and break it down into bite-size action steps!

To help you out here, I’m bringing on a coaching client who is moving through this exact thing. 

Today, we’re having a brave and vulnerable conversion –and, let me tell you, it is PACKED with all the goodies. 

I am so excited for you to meet Alisha Munz, an amazing makeup artist and newly minted body sculptor who helps women feel more confident from the inside out. 

During our coaching sessions, we’re diving into what it takes to sell a new offer and to really grow your business when you have a very distinct new offer. We talk about solidifying your proof of concept, unpacking why your business exists, navigating imposter syndrome, why partnerships and referrals are a game-changer, the power of quality client onboarding processes, and so much more. 

Very few business owners talk about what it’s like selling a brand new offer in the moment, and I’m so excited to have this conversation. If you’re ready, hit that play button, and let’s go!!

[10:30] How to integrate partnerships and other communities into your messaging

Ready for your next big pivot? Maybe it’s launching that new side h

Have you ever had a big decision to make in business...and you didn’t know what to do or what decision to make?

Don’t worry, we’ve all been there!! I’ve had clients experience this indecision. Heck, I’ve even experienced it myself! 

Which is why I’ve created a tried and true filter system of FOUR questions to help you make those big business decisions with more confidence and more ease so you can truly step into that CEO role.. 

Because let me be real with you –at the end of the day, I think being a business owner is so much more than proving that people can pay you for your product or service. It’s this next level of confidence and thinking and realization that you are the true captain of the ship and that no one will come and save you. You have to save you. 

But you absolutely don’t have to do it alone! And you don’t need to do it without tools in your toolkit!

To help you out, I want to walk you through 4 questions or filters to ask yourself before you make a decision. These filters will help you build your confidence so you can step into the CEO space you want to be in.

In this episode, I’m covering things like ego-based decision-making, how to know when it’s a “hell yes,” the importance of understanding whether you’re decision is short or long-term, why you need to be aware of when you’re too comfortable (and what that means), and why having a curated arsenal of people to turn to for advice is so essential. Plus, I’ll tell you what I think the biggest mindset shift is between being a business owner or entrepreneur and a CEO. 

I KNOW this episode will give you the peace and confidence to know that everything you need to be a badass decision-making CEO lies within you! So hit that play button, and let’s go!

Episode Highlights:

• Making decisions as a business owner or entrepreneur

• Questions to help you make CEO-level decisions

• How to know if it’s an ego yes or a hell yes

• Understand short-term versus long-term decisions

• How to know if you’re too comfortable

• How to build an arsenal of people to ask for advice

People always talk about their business success stories. And don’t get me wrong, those stories are inspiring to hear! 

But what about if you build a business that’s good or even great –but there are parts you don’t love, or you want something more, or, now that you’ve made it, you want something different?

When you reach your goals, what happens when you realize you’ve changed your mind and want to try something new?

What then!?

Well, you start by taking one step at a time. Because your business journey is what you make of it. The best part?  It can grow and evolve right alongside you!! And that’s a beautiful thing. 

Today’s guest is well-versed in the evolution of business, and I am so excited for you to hear his story! Jay Curry is an entrepreneur, an artist, AND my wedding DJ. Jay has been DJing weddings in the PNW for over 10 years, and he’s been a dear friend of mine for almost as long. Jay has completely evolved since I’ve known him –and we’re talking all about it! 

In our conversation, Jay and I chat about taking messy action, leaning into what you’re good at, learning from what didn’t work, changing your mind, cultivating your passion, exploring things that bring you joy, how to build your own path toward the end results you want, why adjusting your business (or changing the industry you’re in) is completely okay and so much more.

Friends, I got married!! And I’m so freakin’ pumped about it. It was fun, it was beautiful. 

And, as with practically every wedding, things went wrong. 

But instead of belaboring the point about what went wrong, I will talk about the FIVE business lessons I learned from my wedding. 

I believe these lessons are 100% relevant and useful for you as you move forward as the boss of your life and your business. 

This conversation is a living, breathing example of how you are in control of the controllables. I talk about why showing up is so important, how to prioritize things better, why you need to make space for creativity, why rest isn’t selfish and so much more.

Oh yeah, and I am doing a little recap with yummy wedding deets! 

I hope that you find relatable lessons in this episode and, ideally, learn some things that you could plug into your business, too.

Work with Kelsey:

Ready for your next big pivot? Maybe it’s launching that new side hustle or growing your existing business, whatever the chapter Kelsey’s here to help you bridge the gap between new ideas and achieving your goals!

When it comes to the business back end, too many people think having a perfect system in place will cure their business woes. 

Here’s the caveat: you first need to find a system that works for YOU and your business!

You can have the best-looking, tech-savvy system out there, but if you don’t even use it or if you get so overwhelmed that it hinders your flow, it’s just not going to work. 

And we’re talking about it!

In today’s coaching conversation, I am talking to Mental Performance Coach and Retreat Host, Karina Baldwin! Karina has created a business dedicated to helping female CEOs overcome mental barriers, achieve their goals, and improve their mental performance using psychology-based techniques.

Did I mention Karina is my partner in crime for the amazing Baja retreat we’re hosting together in 2024?!

Karina is absolutely kicking butt in her business, and she’s made so many shifts since we’ve known each other. But today, we’re discussing what needs to shift to get her systems functioning and in order! 

We talk about building out a business model that works today and 10 years from now, why you need systems that make sense for your business, what your core values have to do with systems, how to avoid chaos and stress with your client systems, what to do with your systems when you’re on the verge of big growth, and so much more!

This episode is packed with goodies, so if you’re looking for the inspiration you need to build systems that make sense for you in your business, hit that play button, and let’s go!!

Including your next launch!
