“It’s not about today. It’s about what our companies and our businesses can do tomorrow.”

- Shelagh Cummins

If you struggle with goals — either setting them or trying to achieve them — then this is an episode you won’t want to miss!

As a business coach, I notice that many women entrepreneurs set goals that are far too small or limited, holding them back from the incredible power moves that they’re capable of making. On the other hand, while other women may be great at setting big, bold, audacious goals, they aren’t always skilled at creating realistic timelines to match — or at separating their professional (or even personal) worth from their ability to reach those goals.

It’s important to find that “Goldilocks” sweet spot when it comes to your goals: ambitious enough to reflect your big vision for your business, aligned with your mission and purpose, paired with a timeline that is actually achievable, and intended to help you create the life you want not only today, but in the future.  

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode of the Road to Seven podcast,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

• Why your goals should not only fuel your today, but your tomorrow as well
• Why I have shifted from a revenue goal to an “assets under management” goal
• How to pinpoint the type of goal that will actually get you to where you want to be 

Highlights:‌ ‌

01:05  Intro

02:03  Undershooting goals

04:19  Capital Access Program

06:03  Building generational wealth & opportunities

09:04  Choose the right SMART goals

11:15  Questions to ask yourself

“The more I focus on what I WANT, the more my business will grow.”

- Nikki Nash

Do you have a bold new vision for your business — or even for a new business entirely — but aren’t quite sure how to bring that vision into profitable reality?

As the founder of Market Your Genius, my guest Nikki Nash has not only built her own multiple-six-figure business helping entrepreneurs build and monetize in-demand personal brands, she also managed to land a book deal with her dream publisher — despite knowing nothing about the process of working with a publisher when starting that journey!

“It’s not stroking your ego when you give yourself a high-five for sending a really difficult email… that’s you being in gratitude and celebration for what you have accomplished.”

- Shelagh Cummins

Do you feel like you’re running in one place in your business, without ever hitting your goals or gaining momentum? If so, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!

As entrepreneurs, we can often feel overworked and overwhelmed. But despite the enormous amounts of effort we put into building and growing our businesses each and every day, it can be hard for us to recognize the results. Why is it that we have so much trouble seeing our own progress, even as we celebrate (or envy) the success of other business owners around us? 

When you don’t take the time to celebrate the wins, accomplishments, successes, or power moves that you’re making regularly, then you just become transfixed on your end goal. Not only can this focus on what you’ve not yet accomplished stop you from seeing how far you’ve actually come, it can actually make you feel like you’re falling short.

Tune in to learn how shifting your focus can help you recognize how outstanding you truly are!

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode of the Road to Seven podcast,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

• Why women entrepreneurs tend to overlook their own accomplishments — and how we can (and should) create the space to acknowledge our power moves!
• How to recognize and celebrate the small actions that lead to the big wins 
• Why you need to become comfortable with operating your business from a place of grace and ease, rather than hustle 

Highlights:‌ ‌

01:10  Intro

03:28  Big wins & small actions

05:00  Focusing on the void

05:55  Women & social conditioning

07:22  Hustle v. gratitude

10:05  Developing immunity to success

11:44  Celebration challenge

“If we’re only focused on complaining or being frustrated with the results, and we’re not taking the time to go back and figure out the decisions or why we are getting these results, then you’re in a tricky place.”

- Shelagh Cummins

Are you inadvertently hurting your business… without even realizing it? 

There will always be something in our businesses that we’d like to improve, upgrade, or completely toss aside. From revenue to lead generation to speaking opportunities, there are aspects of our businesses where we may not be performing as well as we’d like — and often, it’s the decisions that we ourselves make that are having a negative impact and holding us back from the success we deserve!

By looking at your results and metrics and reverse-engineering them, it’s possible to pinpoint the areas in your business where you may be making missteps, and to retool your decision-making process in order to create more positive impact on your bottom line going forward!

If there are aspects of your business that you’re unhappy with right now, then this is an episode that you won’t want to miss!

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode of the Road to Seven podcast,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

• The questions that I ask my clients in order to help them identify the decisions that may not be serving them
• Possible reasons why your revenue isn’t as high as you would like — and how to fix it
• Why your hiring decisions may be holding your business back from scaling

Highlights:‌ ‌

04:47  Lead generation funnel
