“No one is hiring me.”

“Help me find clients!”

“How do I find my first clients?”

These are questions I get asked a lot.

After going through the websites of solopreneurs who ask me these questions, I noticed one thing they ALL had in common. One BIG mistake they were all making. It’s something seemingly tiny and insignificant but it can stop SO many people from even inquiring about your service.

In fact, if I land on a site that is making this mistake, I don’t inquire about their services either. I go find someone else to hire.

Can you guess what the small mistake is?

Tune in to this episode to find out!

I discuss this mistake first, THEN I discuss another mistake even more solopreneurs are making:

NOT using video marketing in their business.

Tune in to this episode to learn how you can use photos and videos (simple videos like Instagram stories!) to build trust, establish expertise and book more clients.

Does it matter which tools you use to organize your business?

Yes.

A lot of people will tell you it doesn’t matter and that you should just use the tools you “prefer”. But choosing your business tools based on what you personally prefer is a dangerous way to go about choosing tools to organize your business.

In fact, simply choosing what you prefer has led to a lot of solopreneurs telling me that it took them weeks to set up a certain tool to organize their business... only for them to go ahead and migrate to another one in a few. So they essentially wasted all of that time setting up the first tool.

Why is that? Why did they end up migrating to a different tool? Why wasn’t their first choice - the tool they personally preferred - good enough?

How do our online businesses affect our mental health? That’s what I’m discussing in today’s episode with design agency owner, Aime Cox-Tennant.

When Aime went from her day job to being her own boss and suddenly found herself without order, systems, processes or anyone telling her what to do, she didn’t find it liberating… she found it overwhelming. Her struggles grew so difficult, someone found her crying under her desk one day.

In this episode, Aime shares the vulnerable and honest story of her mental health crisis, the tools, mindset and practices that helped her to overcome it, and how you can bring more inner calm to YOUR life and online business.

“I want to join a course, hire a virtual assistant or work with someone to organize my business... but I don’t make enough money to invest in my business yet.”

Have you been thinking that?

We tend to focus on the money we are temporarily losing when we invest in our business and ourselves, but forget about everything we will GAIN from that investment.

If you join this course / hire this person… how will it transform your life, business, mind or bank account?

Can you REALLY not afford it? (That’s sometimes true!) Or are you using “I can’t afford it” as a way to stay in your safe comfort zone?

And what are you missing out on by not investing in yourself?

All of these questions are answered in today’s episode. Enjoy!

“I’m at the beginning stage of my business Nesha… I’m not sure if organizing it should be a priority right now.”

Do you feel this way?

Maybe you just want to focus on marketing and finding clients and so you can actually make some money from your baby business.

Maybe you’re still holding down your day job and trying to build your business on the side… so you prioritize setting up a website, going to networking events, and posting to your new business Instagram account in the hopes that someone will hire you.  

Or maybe you’re on a strict budget and believe you don’t have much money - if any at all - to invest in your business tools and systems.

In this episode, I’m going to show you why you SHOULD make organizing your business a priority even if you’re just starting out and don’t have much money to invest in your business, and how organizing your business can bring in clients and grow your income. Yep! It can actually do that.

What if you need to make six figures to live the lifestyle you crave? Retire your husband from his soul-sucking day job? Take the vacations you want? And just feel safe and secure?

As someone who makes over $100k myself, I want to tell you it is totally achievable. You have GOT this.

But here's the thing:

You can't make six figures without organizing your business first. In fact, if by some miracle you DO, you'll be wishing you hadn't.

Here's why.

To make six figures from your service-based business, you'll need to either:

1. Raise your pricing
2. Take on more clients

Either way, you need streamlined, simple business systems and processes to pull it off without driving yourself mad or disappointing your high-paying clients.

“Don’t get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.”

That is one of my favourite quotes by the wonderful Dolly Parton. I love it because it’s so true for most solopreneurs. We can get so caught up in pleasing our clients that we start to blur the line between work and personal time and suddenly find ourselves working at 9pm on a friday night, or telling our husbands to take the kids out on Saturday because we’re too busy with work.

In this episode, I’m talking about 4 ways you can set boundaries with your clients so you never feel expected to put your work above your family or your free time again. You’ll also learn why setting boundaries is not strict, how to do it in a respectful and kind way, and how to make sure your clients stick to them!

Is it possible to make 1 million dollars selling creative services online? Without crazy course launches or passive income being the main focus of your business?

We hear about this kind of income but mainly from online businesses that sell digital products, NOT creative services like design or photography. So in this episode, I chat with Kelsey Kerslake, the founder and creative director of a branding agency called Pinegate Road, and we chat all about the business model that she discovered could get her agency to a million dollars just selling services. And no, it doesn’t involve her working any more hours than she already does. 

We also discuss how she tripled her income by hiring team members, how she's managing maternity leave, hiring your first project manager, and more!

I have a secret that blows people’s minds. 

Ready for it?

I only work 3.5 days a week.

Yep! But here’s where it gets interesting: I make more money working 3 days a week than when I worked 5 days a week. If you’re curious how I made that happen and you’re ready to work less and live more, keep listening!

In today’s episode of The Simple Business Show, we’ll cover exactly how I made more money even though I started working less, how you can achieve the same “work less, make more” lifestyle, how I use the Cultivate What Matters Powersheets planner and The Productivity Planner by Intelligent Change to help me be super productive on the days I do work, and so much more.
