Do you really (like, REALLY) feel like your goals are working for you? 

Do you feel like you're reaching them... orrrr do they feel like a way to set yourself up to feel like a failure, month after month, week after week? 

The good news is that if your goals aren't working for you... it's not you, it's the goals. 

This week we're talking about setting goals differently - in a way that is still clear and quantifiable, but that's ALSO kind to the most important person in your life and work (YOU). 

Yes, you can be nice to yourself AND hit your goals. Listen on to learn HOW. 

We all have a complicated relationship with the T word, also known as TRUST, in our businesses. 

The question is WHY? 

What's so hard about trust, and really, what role should trust even play in business (I mean, aren't we supposed to be using data to make decisions??)? 

This week I'm going to share a bit of my business journey with trust, about it's role in my business, and those of my clients', and why I think it's one of the most impactful business skills you can learn... more trust creates more success with more ease. 

Want ALL of that? 

Listen on! 

Do you have ALL kinds of thoughts about your audience - or lack thereof? Do you worry if you're talking to the right people, if any one is hearing you, or if maybe you're just confusing them?? If this is you, this episode is exactly what you need. This week we're talking about 4 common misconceptions you might have around your audience and what you can choose to think instead that will actually grow your audience right NOW. 

Do you CONSTANTLY wish you had more time? Do you feel like you're being pulled in a million directions and are constantly stressed as a result? 

You're not alone.

This week on the podcast I'm sharing a simple process for getting MORE time, from the inside out (yep, we're talking mindset!).

Listen on to get MORE time in your life, all by changing how you THINK about time. 

Sometimes life is chaos. It happens here too. I get it - all the moving parts, life events, unexpected things can be a lot to navigate AND grow a business. Today we're going to talk about growing a business 'even when' - even when there is chaos in life and the world around you, your business can still grow. I'm going to tell you a little bit of my 'even when' story, and share 7 of the small, simple strategies I use (and teach clients!) that can help you to grow your business 'even when'

In episode 71 we talked about the ABC model of selling and why it does NOT fit teachers. 

But if the not that model, then what? 

On this episode of Teachers in Business, I'm going to introduce you to a different model - ABG (always be GIVING) that is FAR more flexible and likely WAY more in line with your values, how you relate to your customers and clients, and who you want to BE as a business owner. 

The good news is that ABG is SIMPLER to follow than ABC, AND it works like crazy. 

Want selling to be simpler and feel more like YOU? This episode is for YOU.

If selling feels spammy, frustrating, overcomplicated, and out of alignment with what you actually value,  the problem might NOT be you. It *might* be the MODEL. The most commonly taught sales model is something I think of as ABC - always be CLOSING. This model is underneath SO MANY of the books, courses, trainings, and freebies out in the world today. It's  taught asTHE way...and yet it's FAILING you (and me) and so many other people. On this episode of Teachers in Business I'm going to share why exactly ABC feels SO terrible, and why it might NOT be THE way for you and your business, esp. if you are or were a TEACHER.

Are you a teacher who's starting a business? Or a new-ish entrepreneur? Here are 4 of the MOST common misconceptions I hear from new-ish business owners, especially the former teachers, and how you can AVOID them (and by avoid I mean skip entirely so you can make more money sooner without it being so PAINFUL all the time!)

Accountability is something we all search for - how do we hold ourselves accountable to accomplish what we set out to do? How do we get MORE accountable, and hopefully get more done? So we sign up for buddies, we buy tools, we make lists... and we still struggle. So what gives? This week on the podcast, we're talking about accountability - what are we REALLY looking for? What is MISSING? And what do we NEED to actually accomplish what we set out to do? 

I have to let you in on a secret. 

One of ways you are shooting yourself in the foot right now is by NOT taking credit for your wins. 

How do I know? 

Because ALL of my clients (plus me and everyone I know) DO this same thing. 

How do you know you are doing it? Well, when something works out do you tell yourself you were 'lucky', that it happened 'out of the blue', and or that 'it just happened to work out well'? 

If you trot out one of these, or anything like them, you are NOT taking credit for your own successes, and it's HOLDING YOU BACK. 

Today on the podcast, I'm going to share with you the TWO simple steps you can take right now to start taking credit for your wins (and to create MORE of them as a result!).
