  • 11. Finding Your Niche with Marra McDonald

    Marra McDonald is someone I connected with over Instagram. She is a former teacher turned business mentor. Whenever she first started in her business, she tried to help anyone she could. She quickly learned this didn’t work out like she thought and decided to show up as her authentic self which turned into her niching down. Now she is specifically a business mentor for ambitious and anxious women. She has struggled with anxiety, panic disorder, and depression her whole life. Turns out being authentic to who she was helped her find the people she could serve best, ambitious and anxious women just like herself. Today we get to hear her story of her path of resistance and how pushing through it has led to a life she previously dreamed of but now gets to live.

  • 10. Traveling the World While Owning a Business and the Importance of Copy Writing with Alethea Tyler

    In this episode I am talking with Alethea Tyler. She is the founder of Copy with Spice and specializes in copywriting peppered with personality. Whether it’s a sales page, website copy, or help with email marketing, she’s an expert at blending creative entrepreneurs’ fabulous personalities with a strategic scoop of storytelling to help them sell their services and turn their dream clients into real clients. I think you will all enjoy this episode as it is fun, light hearted, but still has great nuggets to take away. She gives us an insight to her starting her business and then we go into talking about how she is currently working full time while also traveling the world. How freakin cool is that? At one point we talked about her writing fiction books and as I was editing this episode it hit me that I have a next best-selling author on my podcast! Alethea is just getting started in her career so this hasn’t happened yet but I have all the faith in her!

     

    Books you should read according to Alethea: The Storyteller’s Secret by Carmine Gallo (business book) and 100 Years of Solitude by Gabrielle Garcia Marquez (fiction book)

  • 9. Profit First Book Review - Spoiler it's a must read!

    This is The Path of Resistance Podcast’s first solo episode with me, your host, Karley Welty. Today I am going to be giving a book review on Profit First by Mike Michalowicz. As most of you know, I own a bookkeeping company so of course, I’m a numbers nerd. This episode will be more for business owners or anyone interest in the book Profit First. I think every business owner should read this because it helps people understand how to guarantee profit, pay yourself and set aside money for taxes.

  • 8. Ditching the 10 Hour Work Day While Still Being Efficient with Tamera Ahner

    Today, I am talking to Tamera. We were introduced by a mutual friend and I am so thankful for that connection. Tamera owns a company that provides neighborhood publications to two neighborhoods in our community. We talk about some of the things she has learned in the last 5 years of being a business owner like how she ditched the 10 hour work day and is more efficient than ever, trust you don’t want to miss this one.

    Today’s takeaways:

    1. Working non stop is not sustainable. Work harder not smarter by blocking off time in your schedule to work and be consistent about your work time boundaries.
    2. When you are trying so hard to make things perfect, sometimes you lose sight of what is truly important. Examine your processes and become aware of the times you are leaning towards perfectionism. Realize that beautiful things can happen when you can learn to go with the flow in stead of striving for perfectionism.
    3. Give yourself time to reflect, especially as we are approaching the new year. Give yourself time to sit and ask yourself questions. Why did you implement a specific process? Did it work for you in the time period you implemented? Should you continue to try it or move on to something else? Ask yourself these questions and reflect.
    4. Set goals that have rewards attached to them. Make sure to celebrate when you accomplish goals.
    5. Get yourself an accountability partner. This will help you reflect on your goals and keep you on track. In addition, it reminds you that you aren’t in this alone.
    6. I think one of my biggest takeaways from this episode is that it’s okay to not be available. Tamera talks about not being available for a spontaneous lunch with a friend when it is time to work, but the same can also be true in your personal hours. If you work in an industry where client calls are not an emergency, you can set boundaries to not be available for work during personal hours. I think it is so important to have balance and discipline on both sides, business and work.

      7. Those were my takeaways, if you had any other takeaways message me on Instagram and tell me what you got from today’s episode, I would love to hear from you.

    7. 7. Improving Your Wellness with Sarah Thomas

      Today I’d like to introduce you to Sarah Thomas with Burn Fat and Feast. She is a personal trainer, fitness instructor, nutrition coach, business mentor and mom of three. she empowers women both in her community and all over the country to live their healthiest life possible. her focus is first on embracing her client and opening their minds to the beauty within. We start out talking about how she opens her clients mind to the beauty within and then move into things that will help you find success including affirmations and finding your why.

      The biggest takeaways:

      1. Finding the beauty within takes awareness of self-talk. If you say something enough, it becomes your reality, your truth. Sarah emphasizes how important positive self-talk it. She makes a great analogy which I love, saying that working on your mindset, having positive self-talk is like pulling weeds in a garden. You don’t pull them once and then walk away, it is a continual work in progress.
      2. Write down affirmations and read them daily.
      3. You can do anything but you can not do everything. Sarah just briefly mentions this but I thought it would be a great reminder for those of us that have shiny object syndrome. Pick a couple of things to focus on and keep your focus on them.
      4. 20% of your efforts relate to 80% of your accomplishments. Choose your one domino to focus on and that will allow other things to fall into place.
      5. Community is so valuable, surround yourself with community who will help you reach your long-term goals, whether it be diet, exercise, business, or anything for that matter.
      6. Know your why. Sarah talks about knowing the why behind the how. She is referring to educating yourself as to why something will produce a specific result or as she calls it the why behind the how. She also talks about knowing your why for your motivation to reach a certain goal. The way to really find your way is to ask why 5 times to get to the deepest part of your why which is the most impactful.
      7. Reflect daily on your way and your journey. Reflect on gratitude, acknowledge a job well done that day, reflect on your why, and plan your next day.

      8. 6. How To Be More Productive with Sierra Scacco

        Hey guys, so I am doing something a bit different today with the podcast. Instead of a longer interview, I am putting out an Instagram live that I did with my friend Sierra. She’s super sweet, a soon to be mama of two, which is funny because that last two guests have been soon to be mamas of two, anyways, she’s also a wife, and a life and productivity mentor. I hope you enjoy this episode; Sierra gives the listeners great things to implement in your life to be more productive and organized which I think everyone can learn from.

        Here’s the takeaways:

        1. Use the time you have to make the most impact. Sierra talks about how this is possible and I totally agree. With this comes discipline as it takes being intentional with the time you do have.
        2. It’s important to enjoy what you are doing as a business owner. Going through prompts can be helpful to get clear on this vision.
        3. The three tactical ways to get more organized and be more productive: First, have a system in place to organize your thoughts. Second, set specific goals. Third, get someone in your corner as an accountability partner.
        4. Goals should be as specific as possible and it is important to reflect on your goals in order to create or update new goals.

          5.  If you enjoyed today’s episode, make sure to subscribe where ever you prefer to listen and if that happens to be on Apple podcast, please leave a written review.

        6. 4. Your Potential is Greater Than You Realize with Katie Ferro

          Today I am talking to Katie Ferro, my bookkeeping business coach. This episode gets a little long, but you should listen all the way to the end because it gets goooood. At the end Katie wraps it up with a nice little bow talking about how we are so much bigger, and have so much more potential than we think possible.

          But anyways, to further introduce Katie, she created her own bookkeeping company and alongside running that business, she also helps other people start a bookkeeping business of their own. Que, her and I working together at the beginning of this year! If any listeners are aspiring to become bookkeepers, I highly recommend going through one or both of Katie’s courses. Her first course is called Become a Bookkeeper aka Babs and teaches you all the skills it takes to hence the name, become a bookkeeper. The course that I took from her is called Life by the Books or aka Libby and teaches you how to build a bookkeeping business if you already have the bookkeeping skills.

          Here are my affiliate links if you want to check out her program:

          6 Secrets to Starting a Simple, Scalable Bookkeeping Business

          https://www.katieferro.com/a/2147513515/J3bc3DQn

           

          Takeaways:

          1. Sometimes taking the path of resistance means listening to the signs around you and taking the leap of faith. Katie didn’t intentionally walk into this dream of having her own bookkeeping business, but she rode the wave of fortunate circumstances, and now she screams from the rooftops what is possible for other women.
          2. Katie talks about coaching people who’s circumstances are very different from hers, which makes sense because her story is so unique with being pregrant, getting in the car accident and then being paid to quit her job, but she guides people through their unique journey by knowing hers unfolded for her in her way, and it will unfold in just the right way for each person in their unique set of circumstances.
          3. At one point Katie is talking about low numbers related to your audience and how sometimes that isn’t necessarily bad if people are engaged. She also mentions how she asked her audience what they wanted her to do and then did what they wanted. I want to pause here and say that again, she asked her audience what they wanted and then did what they wanted. It can be as simple as that when marketing for a brand.
          4. I feel like Katie’s story at first glance doesn’t align with “the path of resistance” it seems like she was handed lucky options and chose the obvious route, first when quitting her corporate job, and then second when she started coaching bookkeepers. When you look at Katie’s story, I don’t want you to think man she got lucky! You should be inspired by her because that can be you too! “The Path of Resistance” doesn’t always have to be hard necessarily. In Katie’s case it was listening to the signs around her and “the path of resistance” comes in when she actually had to put the work in. The path of resistance is simply put being intentional in the actions you take and Katie is a very intentional person. You see this when later she talks about setting boundaries in place for her programs to make sure people are the right fit and if they aren’t politely telling them no. You guys, I am talking just as much to myself when I say this, but putting boundaries in place and saying no is life changing. It is part of the path of resistance lifestyle that you want to live.
          5. Act in optimism plan in pessimism. Katie has a whole podcast episode expanding upon this idea. Check out her podcast Profits and Prosecco if you want to learn more about this concept, it’s a good one!
          6. Listen to your thoughts! There are at least two choices in everything you do. Ask yourself what will happen if I do this and what will happen if I don’t. When you listen to your thoughts, ask yourself who’s thought it that?
          7. We are so much bigger, we are so much more, we have so much more capabilities than we think we are.
          8. Do all things in integrity. Doing thing in integrity doesn’t have to keep you small. Be different as long as you’re in integrity.

            9. I always say this at the end of episodes, but I truly mean it. If you had a different takeaway please email me ([email protected]) or DM me on Instagram and let me know what that takeaway was. I would love to hear from you!
