As a speaking coach, I’m good with words.

I used to feel weird saying that, like I was being braggadocious, but now I’m confident in my skills (I mean, if we can’t own the skills we’ve worked hard to master, how can we expect others to believe in us?!)

Seriously. Pass me a mic and I’ll deliver an inspirational pep that will make you laugh, tear up with emotion and teach you something that will stick with you.

BUT, give me a blank piece of paper, or empty google doc and ask me to write a paragraph of inspiration? 

I’ll take my seat on the struggle bus.

I’ve learned that it’s one thing to speak words and another to write them.

I’ve also learned that it’s the opposite for many… with writing feeling more natural and controlled and speaking… total deer in headlights!

Take my client Zafira Rajan.

She’s literally a professional...

Have you noticed how the mentors you follow online seem to have this magnetic pull? That podcaster in your ears has become a trusted biz bestie that you rely on each week, you find yourself saying the phrases of your fav business coach, you jump at the chance (or at least pay attention) when you see that they’re speaking at an upcoming virtual summit even if you’ve heard them speak many times.

Whether that’s Brendon Burchard, Amy Porterfield, Lewis Howes, Anthony Trucks, Rachel Rogers, Brene Brown, Gary V, or whoever is on your online mentor list, it seems that whenever they open their mouth, it’s pure gold.  Each has their own distinct personality, communication style and many different business models. So the question is - was there some kind of unicorn magic passed to them in utero? Or are there commonalities that we can use as a road map for becoming more influential?

Today I’m going to share with you 3 distinct behaviors adopted by the highly...

There's a shift happening in the online business space as consumers are becoming increasingly turned off by overt selling tactics. So how can entrepreneurs adapt to the new way of selling online? This is a question that today's guest and Sales Enablement Strategist, Luis Báez will answer (plus a whole lot more).

With over 14 years in Sales & Marketing, Luis brings a breadth of knowledge and experience that spans across Digital Advertising, Software-as-a-Service, and Sustainability — with a revenue impact of over $500 Million to date. This was one of the most practical and inspiring interviews I’ve had on the show. Luis spoke from his heart, and his truth from living in poverty to being an out gay Latino sales executive and how each experience has shaped how he teaches others to show up, serve well and stand out.

Since leaving his corporate sales life, Luis has dedicated his work to empowering and enabling underrepresented entrepreneurs and online businesses...

What the heck is 75 Hard? Why did 2 moms + business owners with already busy schedules commit to making their lives intentionally harder? And what happened when we followed the program for 75 intense days?

This episode is for those feeling the need for a kick in the pants. Maybe you’ve been in a rut or are just craving a level up with your habits, health, productivity or mental resilience. I recently sat down with my friend, Frannie Wilson, co-founder of Ampersand Studios, a commercial photography studio specializing in creating photo and video content for brands. to talk about our individual experiences completing the 75 Hard challenge.

Putting yourself out there can feel HARD. And being completely real, BOLD and opinionated? It can  be terrifying (what will people think?!). So while many say they WANT to stand out, they choose instead to blend in.

But not today’s guest.

I wanted episode 100 to be special, so I sat down with the incredible Jill Stanton of Screw the Nine to Five for a real talk convo about life, business, being a mom and making noise. 

In this episode, Jill opens up and shares her struggle of self-doubt, how she stays future focused and positive by changing her thoughts, and of course, we’ll talk about how Jill approaches speaking on a stage.

I just wrapped up the 75 Hard Program where I fully committed to my health, growth and development for the last 75 days. And I've gotten lots of questions around, how do you do all these things and still show up consistently?

Join me today on my morning walk as I share a quick conversation around the idea of letting go of this vision of needing to get everything perfect and just go get things done to move your business and life forward.

Shareworthy Insights:

• Stop making your life difficult for no reason at all instead focus on what are the most critical things that need to get done to move your business and your life forward.

• Know that there are so many productivity roadmaps and tools available to us but they're not...

You've most likely heard of the concept of batching (doing similar tasks together to free up time) and love the idea. But if you find it challenging to adopt the concept into your business, it might be because of the way that you work. For most content creators who come from corporate, teaching or other professions, what made them a "success" in those environments won't create the flexibility and freedom you seek as a business owner.

Enter my productivity obsessed guest today, Cara Harvey of A Purpose Driven Mom. In this episode we talk all things productivity for online entrepreneurs from making that mental shift in how we work, our take on hustle (which might surprise you), how to be intentional with your planning, content batching and overall time management to free you up for what matters most.
