September 10, 2024 What if it doesn't work?
***Repost episode: Originally aired June 13, 2023***
99% of business is just trying things and seeing what sticks
But when we're in the process of trying new things, we have literally
zero idea of it's going to work.
So we start to panic. What if it doesn't work? What if I look stupid?
What if no one buys? What if I can't figure this out?
This is SUCH a common worry for entrepreneurs because our work involves
so much uncertainty. Today's episode is all about what I do when I'm
having these moments of panic and worrying - what if this just doesn't
work?
Here's what I talk about:
- Is this productive worry or not?
- Failure is the price of admission
- Are you really just afraid of other people seeing you fail?
- Actually solve the problem
- How to get comfortable with uncertainty
- Failure is the only way forward

August 20, 2024 Move your business forward FASTER by doing this one thing
***Repost episode: Originally aired April 11, 2023***
Do you feel STUCK in your business?
Running a business is exceedingly hard. You're on social media for what feels like 100 hours every week. Your to-do list is 16 pages long.
You're even putting yourself out there and doing sales. And
still.....nothing.
Sometimes it can feel like you are pushing forward, doing all the things, and yet somehow you feel like you're in the same place you were yesterday.
What if I told you there was a way to get out of this rut and PUSH your business forward very quickly?
There's a tactic that I used to use all the time that moved my last business forward VERY quickly. But I had stopped doing it....until yesterday.
In today's episode I share with you:
- What I did yesterday that is going to make this conference absolutely INCREDIBLE
- Why I decided to be BOLD and put myself out there in ways I hadn't for years
- The things that had been holding me back from using this tactic (and how I realized that I am a badass)
- Why hearing no can be incredibly value for your business' growth
- How to get past your fears of putting yourself out there in BIG ways
- Why you should use this tactic to move your business forward a million times faster

August 06, 2024 How to be happier in pursuit of your goals
***Repost Episode: Originally aired Feb 13, 2024***
You're pursuing big goals.
Whether those goals are to have a beach house in Hawaii, to bring your kids on vacation, or to feel like you can pay your bills comfortably, you know that when you reach those goals you're going to feel amazing.
But what about right now?
Most of us who are pursuing big goals are willing to sacrifice a lot to get there. But if you're trying to reach your goals at any cost you have to stop and consider if you're sacrificing too much.
If you're sacrificing being truly happy right now in exchange for the belief that:
Someday, when I reach my goals, I'll be happier
I recently came to this realization so in today's episode, we're talking about how to be happier today while still pursuing your big dreams.
Here's what we talk about:
- Why I've changed my thinking on how I pursue goals over the last couple of months
- How I got into the habit of sacrificing everything in pursuit of my big goals
- The blue sky paradox
- The gap vs. the gain and how focusing on your progress will lead to more happiness
- What will actually make you happy with your life?
- Blissful dissatisfaction
- How to remove the pressure from the process of chasing your dreams
