You Are the Magic You're Waiting For

When you have your own business, you are signing up to be a creator.

And yes, that means BEING creative and contributing value to the world.

This is why people pay us…because we offer VALUE.

The more value you offer, the more opportunity there is to make a big impact and make a big income.

This is a win-win…making money by making the world a better place.

Now, more than ever, it is relatively easy (the steps, not the mindset :)) to build a business thanks to the internet.

But that also means that there are more and more people starting businesses and more and more competition for attention.

So how do you get noticed?

How do you stand out as THE ONE your dream clients must work with?

Luckily there is no need to be loud and pushy to be seen.

Hallelujah for us introverts, right? ;)

The true key lies in being unique and finding YOUR voice and message.

Copy-cat businesses are boring. They lack authenticity. They lack heart and pizazz.

They fall flat.

The energy just isn’t aligned...and they will feel 'off' and unenjoyable to YOU.

So let’s talk about what you can do to avoid creating a ‘cookie-cutter’ business and instead creating something that is straight from your heart and soul. Something that jumps out to people and leaves them wanting to get to know you and work with YOU.

That is exactly what I’m sharing with you in this week’s podcast.

How do you choose a niche that allows you to do your soul work?

By soul work, I mean using your unique combination of experience and passions to help your dream clients accomplish their biggest goals.

And yes, your niche will change throughout your time in business because YOU will change.

The truth is that our niche/target market/ideal client (whatever you want to call it ;)) is a huge part of our messaging and our branding so having this piece ‘on point’ makes all the difference when it comes to LOVING your business, getting amazing results with your clients, enjoying your marketing and attracting clients and income.

I’m currently updating my website and all my messaging so this is something that I’m doing in my business right now...so the perfect time to speak about it!

In this week’s podcast episode, I share the key questions you must answer to get clear on who your dream client is right now.

When it comes to creating the business and life you want, FEAR is the biggest thing that is stopping you.

We often think that we have a marketing or a messaging problem, and although this part is important, it is usually NOT the biggest thing stopping us.

Fear is the biggest issue…

Fear of:

• Failure
• Making mistakes
• What people think
• Humiliation
• Not knowing enough
• Rejection
• Not making enough money
• The unknown

Fear stops us from taking action and getting the support we need.

Fear keeps us small…it keeps us from reaching our full-potential.

If you’re anything like me, then you feel a big calling to continue to evolve into your next best self and to see what you’re really capable of achieving.

Stagnancy is not an option.

Settling for less than you’re capable of and less than you want is not an option.

But going after what you really want can feel really scary.

What if you mess it all up and land splat on your face?!

We have fear for a reason…to keep us safe from lions, tigers and bears.

Fortunately, we live in a society where most of us no longer have to fight for our survival.

So instead the question becomes, how can I THRIVE during this lifetime?

The answer is NOT letting fear stop you…from being your best self and from creating the business, impact and lifestyle you want.

In this week’s podcast, I share 7 powerful steps you can take to break through fear so you can go from stuck to reaching your fullest potential.

You know that little voice in your head that tells you that you’re not capable of achieving the same level of success as other people in your business?

That voice is especially loud when you jump on social media and start looking at other coaches…

It starts innocently enough…’I just want to see what other people are up to.’

And before you know it you’ve fallen down the social media black hole and the voice in your head is telling you:

• You’re not good enough
• She is prettier and skinnier
• She has more followers
• You’re too far behind
• You’re not outgoing enough
• You’re not ambitious enough
• You’ll never do it as good as ‘so and so’ 
• You can’t possible compete with what she has to offer
• You need to do more…offer more…create more
• Her life is way better than yours

How do I know this?

Because we all have this voice.

But for some of us, this voice is enough to take us out of the game…the game of creating the business and life we want.

The internet has opened us up to a whole new level of comparison on a daily basis. We can literally see what millions of people are up to with a click of a mouse…and this often leads that little voice in our head to telling us that we’re not good enough.

In fact, many of us struggle with a little something I like to call an 'inferiority complex.'

In this week’s podcast I want to shine a light on your inferiority complex (if you have one...the vast majority of us do) so that you can see it clearly.

​​I will also be sharing my story with my own inferiority complex and the 4 steps I’ve taken to go from feeling like certain things were out of my reach to believing I can create the results I want in my business and my life.

My podcast is officially live on iTunes and Spotify which means it’s time to celebrate! Woohoo!

And even more exciting is that the Podcast has an official name. 

Who thought naming a Podcast would be so challenging?

In fact, I named it one thing and created a podcast about why I chose that name, but it didn’t feel quite right. So I sat with it a bit longer, came up with a new and improved name and created a whole new podcast about why I chose this name. 

Why this name is so important is because I’m in a bit of a transition period with my business. I’ve been speaking to NEW coaches for a long time (and have hundreds of YouTube videos dedicated to this) and now I’m excited to speak to that entrepreneur who is further along in business. 

I’ve been an entrepreneur for almost 10 years.

Starting my business was a huge turning point in my life, but now I’m ready to share more about the journey that happens after your business is up and running and how you can continue to grow and evolve and create your next new vision for yourself. 

As someone who has traditionally liked to ‘follow the rules’ and ‘do it right’ this has been a huge learning experience for me.

I spent a lot of time looking for the answers to ‘greater success’ in my business outside of myself… working with dozens of coaches and mentors and learning all the fancy marketing techniques. 

I was on a quest to find that magic ‘something’ I was missing.

But what I realized is that I HAD the answers all along. 

And this is what the podcast is about. Empowering YOU to create the business and life you want.

No more searching for answers from other people. No more becoming a ‘cookie cutter’ version of someone else. No more marketing or doing things in your business that feel ‘icky’ and inauthentic.

I’m going to teach you how to become your own business fairy godmother.

On this podcast episode, I reveal the name I chose and why…this reflects the biggest (and most challenging) lesson I’ve learned over the past 10 years of having my business…and the thing I most want you to know NOW.

Lately I’ve done a lot of reflecting on my business. I’ve felt the need to be a bit more quiet than usual. To go inward and reflect. A call to mix things up. To think outside the box. To do things EXACTLY how I WANT to do them.

I’ve gotten to a spot where I’m ready to make some big shifts and am in the process of doing so…you will see them over the next few months…

I first started my business almost 10 years ago (as of January 2023). Oh my goodness, how time flys. And in those years of being a (mostly online) entrepreneur I’ve learned a lot.

A lot about what works.

A lot about what doesn’t work.

A lot about the benefits of having an online coaching business.

A lot about the challenges of having an online business.

A lot about what success really looks and feels like.

And that is exactly what I want to share with you this week.
