Ever noticed how magnetized you are to the people

Ever noticed how magnetized you are to the people who tell their story? They keep it real, they talk about the raw emotions. They aren't scared of the truths that presented themselves in their struggle.

An ultimate unravel happens when you begin to tug on the end of that string that has laced up your fears and the whole mess of you unravels and tumbles out into the open. Hurt, angry, hopeful, scared, uncertain … it’s all there. It’s a really beautiful thing.
How can I say that spilling your emotions out into the open can be a beautiful thing?

Because, to me, being real is the most beautiful thing of all. Once you let it all spill out, you are finally free to take a long hard look at it. And confront it. What the heck is causing such pain in your life that you wanted to hide? What’s still working? What can you leave behind? *this is the secret to growth*

If you could run your business from anywhere in th

If you could run your business from anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

It's the entrepreneur's dream, right? Work from ANYWHERE.

Frankly, I don't want to take my computer to a hot, sandy beach. I can't see the screen and ... I hate sand.

But the mountains? Now that I can get behind! Take me to a new national park every month. Let me work 4 hours a day, let me hike to my heart's content. Mmmm, that would be heaven.

I took a month-long sabbatical several years ago. I traveled through Colorado with some friends. I worked a few hours each morning from my friend's RV. I slept in a tent every night. I hiked for hours every day. I watched the stars and ate s'mores every night. My friends and I drove up to the highest peaks and grabbed our sleeping bags and counted shooting stars for hours always saying, "ooh, it's time to go to bed ... but just one more!!!"

I've never felt so grounded and clear-headed. When my daughter is old enough, I will definitely be doing that again!!

What about you? If you could work from anywhere, where would it be and why?

Years ago, I began to wonder … ⠀
⠀
What happens when you finally surrender? ⠀
⠀
When you stop fighting yourself? ⠀
⠀
When you hit pause on all the reasons that you *don’t* deserve it yet? ⠀
⠀
When you finally allow life give you *all the good stuff* it possibly can. ⠀
⠀
All the stuff that is waiting just beyond the line of what you perceive is your upper limit. And you stop wondering or worrying about how it’s going to get here and who might deliver it. Better yet, you stop trying to *control* how it’s all going to happen. ⠀
⠀
Instead, you simply allow. ⠀
✨You allow yourself to be loved. ⠀
✨To be unapologetically happy. ⠀
✨You allow yourself to be as successful as you can dream up. ⠀
✨You allow yourself to be safe. ⠀
✨To be supported. ⠀
✨To go after that dream you put on the back burner. ⠀
✨To work with who you want to work with. ⠀
✨To do the work you really love to do. ⠀
✨You allow opportunities to come into life ... and you actually take them. ⠀
⠀
Even though you don’t know the potential they hold yet. Gasp! ⠀
⠀
What would happen if even just for this week, you believed you could have it all? ⠀
⠀

How I Respond When Someone Asks To "Pick My Brain"

How I Respond When Someone Asks To "Pick My Brain"

"I'm here for it! I find it's way more beneficial for YOU if we hop into a strategy session (link is in my bio 😉 😉 😉). That way I'm sharing my on-the-spot growth ideas, business building tips, and targeted strategy for YOUR unique business. Instead of sharing how it worked for me. We have space for you to ask questions about what you're struggling with. And, you'll walk away with an actionable plan for your growth as a result. What do you think? I have 3-hour and full-day sessions available."

Ever notice how when someone wants to pick your brain it's really because they're stuck? I love to hop right in and give them what they actually want and need at that moment. Way more helpful and powerful for them.

3 Steps I Take To Prepare For Podcast Interviews:

3 Steps I Take To Prepare For Podcast Interviews:

1️⃣ REVIEW the questions they send ahead of time and jot down a few ideas. Most podcasters sent basic questions ahead, some just send a theme. Either way, I do a little pre-reflection to get my head in the game!

2️⃣ DANCE. As an introvert, my energy needs to be high before I hop into a conversation with someone I don't know. The fastest way for me to do that is with some good tunes.

3️⃣ASK for guidance to align my answers with what their audience truly needs from that podcast. *I do this before my client calls, too * I learned this trick many years ago when I often questioned my own brilliance. If I ask for the right words to come forward at the right time, for the right person, they always do. So I ask, and then trust that the right message will be delivered.

ALIGNED CLIENTS • EASIER PROCESSES • MORE PROS

ALIGNED CLIENTS • EASIER PROCESSES • MORE PROSPECTS

I hear the same 3 things over and over again.
1. I hate social media for marketing.
2. There has to be an easier way to get clients.
3. I feel so close to locking in my message and audience, but it just hasn't clicked yet.

Sound familiar? If so, you are totally not alone. No entrepreneur is short on passion. Clients? Maybe. Dollars? Probably. Time? Always. But you have the passion for sure. So if you're hitting this final quarter of the year needing a little boost, I've got something for you.

Walking into the unknown is scary. 😳 You don'

Walking into the unknown is scary.

😳 You don't know what awaits you - success or "failure?"
😳 You don't know if you're choosing the right path.
😳 You don't know if you'll be happier or not.
😳 You don't know if you can handle the new choice you're making.

This is the trap that keeps most people standing still. Feeling stuck. Accepting mediocre instead of joy.

What if we flipped that on it's head? Instead of putting SO much weight on the choice having to be "the one" ... what if you looked at it for what it is? Just a singular step in a long journey.

If you don't like the new business. Or you don't like the new job. Or you don't like the new relationship. Move on. That step just shook loose the energy that kept you stagnant in a place that you didn't really want to be. That's all.

Every step I've taken into a new path has yielded growth, learning, and a path to where I was really meant to be. Not all of them have been easy, but they have all created momentum. Sometimes just a nudge forward and other times a steamroller, but every choice shook loose old energy and invited in fresh energy to direct me to a new level of joy.

What kind of momentum are you looking to create next?

We often feel too alone in our fears and our doubt

We often feel too alone in our fears and our doubts. We hide them and desperately hope that everyone around us sees us and feels like we have it all under control. We post our highlights. We hide our struggles.

What are some of the fears that we hide? The lies that we tell (others and ourselves)? The secret truths that are hidden under them?

Here are a few that I hear frequently with my clients. Notice the whispering vulnerable belief behind the words being said.

🤫 "I’m afraid I won’t be able to deliver or do the job. I won’t know unless I try. But I really think I can do it."

🤫 "I’m scared that once they really get to know me, they won’t like me. I feel like I am pretending to be someone I’m not right now."

🤫 "I’m scared to really let my personality shine through because it might be 'too much' for some people. I end up feeling small and voiceless and feeling like no one really, truly gets me. I lose myself along the way."

🤫 "I’m living paycheck to paycheck and some months I don’t know how to make my bills. But I am trying really hard to create something. I’m just afraid I will be judged for my struggle."

🤫 "I don’t know if I am making the right choice. But, even if I am scared, I have to do something to get unstuck. I'm really scared of making the wrong choice."

🤫 "I give away way too much of my time. I’m afraid people won’t like me as much if I don’t or won’t hire me if I charge what I'm worth. But, I’m resentful of the time people take from me."

🤫 "If I don’t do it all, no one will pick up the slack and it won’t get done and people will be disappointed. I hate doing it all. If I didn’t, someone probably would step in, but I might feel less important."

🤫 "I don’t have time to move forward into the life I really want. OK, I have the time, but I’m petrified to make a change because…what if it isn’t better?"

There is so much truth in the end of those statements. Vulnerability moves you forward. Even if it's just a baby step. Get cozy with your vulnerable side and put a voice to what you're truly afraid of. Then, look for ways to baby step into practicing those skills. Suddenly, they won't feel quite so scary.

You make your own adventures in life. Don’t let

You make your own adventures in life. Don’t let time, money or the number of friends you have become an obstacle. I have been a weekend warrior for YEARS – even in the beginning of my business when I was struggling. All it took was one friend, an idea and a vehicle (and typically a tent) to make it happen. My weekend adventures can be expensive, but the majority of them cost me less than $200 for the entire weekend. You don’t have to be a full time adventurer to “do it right.” I am super proud of all the things I have seen and done in my years of adventuring. Make your adventures in the time you have with the budget you have available to you. There is so much of this world to see. Stop waiting. ⠀

3 Ways I Keep Myself Motivated I’ve talked a lo

3 Ways I Keep Myself Motivated

I’ve talked a lot about the burnout I’ve experienced cyclically in my 14 years in business. Leveling up (in technology, mindset, or offerings) is no joke.

So, how do I keep myself positive and motivated amidst the stretch zones in life or business?

1️⃣ Motivational material. I find something that makes me feel good … a book, a movie, a podcast … something I don’t have to work at to *feel* good and *feel* inspired.

2️⃣ Connection to my physical body. I feel better, stronger, more capable when I work out. There have been long periods in my life where I neglected my physical body, but I always return to a routine. I used to rock climb or do yoga 3-5 times a week. I’m an avid hiker. Then, I did cycling 3 times a week. Now, with my daughter, we walk every day. I’ve learned I have to have something in my routine to connect me to my body.

3️⃣ Connection to friends. I have an incredible circle of friends that I trust. I can pop an honest message about how I feel, what I’m struggling with, or what I need any day of the week. And they can do the same for me. I need that circle of trust to keep me grounded and to help me remember the bigger picture of life.

How do you stay motivated when you step into uncertain waters? Interestingly, none of mine have anything to do with business, but they sure do help with it! 🙌🏼

The land of virtual assistants is vast! There is a VA for almost every industry and specialization. Don't worry that you may not be able to find someone to fit your business, there are so many niches and specialties for VA's. You will be able to find someone who can be the peanut butter to your chocolate. The zing zang to your bloody mary. The person who finishes your sentences and reads your mind sometimes! Thank yourself for doing a little research up front, asking for help, and hiring support.

The Day I Knew I *Had* To Start My Business It wa

The Day I Knew I *Had* To Start My Business

It was around 2006. I was working in a small, but mighty, graphic design firm. I was making great money. I had wonderful co-workers.

But I wasn't fulfilled. I didn't love the work I was doing. I wanted more.

I had signed up for a coaching certification program that was almost 80 hours. I was going through at night after I finished up work. I couldn't wait to get to my classes. I was learning so much. I wasn't even planning to start a business. I took the program just because I was interested in it, and, I knew I could use the skills in my everyday life. I had hired @liveboldlycoach, just to see what the process was like. We became friends.

One night she and her husband invited me to go see Edwin McCain perform. We had a night of delicious food, interesting conversation, and great music. To close out his set, Edwin said, "I don't usually do this, but I'm going to do a cover tonight. He proceeded to sing Seal, Crazy.

You know the one ... "In a world full of people, only some want to fly. Isn't that crazy?" I had goosebumps. My coach turned to me and said, "well, if that isn't a coaching song I don't know what is!"

As I progressed in my classes, I knew this was more than just a hobby course. I wanted to do something with this. I wanted to fly. Before I knew it, I had a plan to turn in my notice and start a business. What?! That was never the plan. Yet suddenly it was.

I shared my office with a lovely human. We used to make CDs to share and play as we worked. We had similar taste in music and often made a game out of choosing songs the other would love.

The day I decided to turn in my notice, I pulled my resignation letter out of my bag. Hands shaking, heart racing, palms sweating, stomach in knots. I was definitely second-guessing this crazy decision. He popped his head around the little cubed wall between us and dropped a CD on my desk. He said, "that first song is perfect for you. I know it." I put the CD into my computer, and Seal starting singing to me. "In a world full of people, only some want to fly ... isn't that crazy?"

That was the day I knew I *had* to start my business.

From that list you've been making of tasks you need to hand off... Don't wait until you're completely overwhelmed and burned out to hire that help. Hiring a team member (even someone who does exactly what you need them to do), will require some training and learning curve time.

Make your life easier and help the working relationship start on a better foot, by getting the help you need before you feel like you're drowning.

I know it can be scary, but it will be so worth it when you grow with that support person vs struggling to catch up with them.

Are you making it harder than it needs to be?

Where do you find yourself in the most resistance in life ... business ... marketing?

Maybe you're:
• Trying to make your program the top of the top ... without testing the water first.
• Trying to implement huge, complicated systems ... without a full client load that doesn't need it yet.
• Putting too much responsibility on yourself to be perfect ... before learning through experience.
• Pushing for you think it needs to look like ... instead of listening to what people want.

What might happen if you ...
> let go?
> stepped into the flow?
> chose the easy route?

Just curious 😉

On my recent IG Live with Chelsee from @chelseeleeva we talked a lot about how to know when it's time to hire help. Start thinking about the tasks you'll want to outsource early on. Keep a running list and think about how handing off those tasks would help you focus on the parts of your business that need your special touch.
