You know you need to be more visible in your business, but does that mean you need to be vulnerable too? According to the definition of the word – YES.

Vulnerability is about exposing yourself to potential harm, physically or emotionally, and when you’re a personal brand who puts themselves out there–  online or on stage, that’s inherently VULNERABLE.

So if you’ve ever asked yourself questions like: 

How much of my story should I share? Did I over share? Should I be more vulnerable?

How much is too much to share? What should I NOT be sharing with my audience? 

Here’s a glimpse of what you’re going to learn in this episode…

• What is vulnerability and how it can help you build high quality relationships with your audience
• How to show the real you while maintaining professional 
• Tangible tactics to be more strategic when sharing vulnerable...

2023 is just around the corner! It’s that time of the year again…

A time to set new goals, a time to craft next year’s...

Events are back—and there’s nothing that compares to the energy in a room filled with creative, ambitious and like-minded people. It’s my love language in business (and that’s saying a LOT as an introvert!)

When deciding whether or not to attend an event, most people focus on the question “what will I learn?”, but today I want to encourage you to think differently about investing your time, money and energy by attending events. 

I’m sharing with you 5 event attending perspective shifts to calculate your ROI, plus my top 10 pro tips to help you get the most out of them. These are the things I learned from 20 years of managing and attending events. I hope that this conversation is meeting you at just the right time and gets you excited to put some of these things in action in 2023.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to overcome the “I’m awkward...

Ever heard a business coach tell you that selling is “just a numbers game”? They say that if you can just get your offer in front of more people, eventually you'll start making sales.

But if it really was as simple as putting offers in front of more potential buyers, why are there so many broke content creators? Harsh truth, I know. But those business coaches aren’t entirely wrong, they just left out a critical piece of information.

It isn’t about getting the offer in front of more people, it’s about connecting a MESSAGE that resonates  to your offer. Said another way, it’s all about the CONTEXT you provide.

In today’s episode, I’ll share the 7 essential ingredients that will allow you to create messaging that resonates. So grab a notebook, a cup of something warm and start planning that effective messaging. You’ve got this!

Episode Highlights:

• Demystify what “messaging” means to create desire and demand for...

I bet reaching more people and creating a meaningful impact is one of your aspirational goals. 

And as an online business owners, you’re trying to blend marketing strategies designed to reach the masses with a more personable, relationship focused approach.

So the question is: how can you truly connect with people through relationships AND grow at the speed you want? And if people don’t know who you are or what services you offer, how can you expect them to pay attention and to trust you? 

In this week’s episode, we’re looking in the rearview mirror to help you reflect on your visibility efforts and determine a strategy you can implement next year—one that is aligned, more intentional and will create a bigger impact in your business. Whether you've been doing visibility for a while but you haven't gotten much traction or you put it on the backburner, this episode is a must listen.

In this episode, we dig into…

• Building relationships...

When was the last time your confidence took a hit? Maybe a failed launch, or not getting enough views on your Instagram stories? How about unsubscribes from your list? Or a negative review.

Shaky confidence happens to everyone, especially entrepreneurs building businesses. 

Think about it. You’re quite literally building something you’ve never done before, constantly learning new skills,tech and tactics. Of course you’ll question yourself, feel like a fake or consider burning it all down, every now and then.

But what you do in those moments matters. Do you get back up quickly? Do you spiral out? Do you look to others for validation? Or push through reciting affirmations?

Confidence seems “fluffy and intangible, but often shows up in a physical manifestation. On today’s episode we’re talking about how confidence impacts your business, how to recognize the symptoms of lost confidence and what to do when it inevitably shakes.  

Episode...

It’s no secret that you wear a lot of hats running a business, and if you’re anything like most online business owners, the majority of your time is spent on content creation, admin and other behind the scenes work.

But how can you expect to make money in your business if you spend the majority of your time on things that aren’t directly tied to sales or designed to make sales down the road (and the road keeps getting longer)?

In today’s episode, I’ll share with you my ridiculously simple strategy that’s going to help you generate more sales. So if you are not quite on track with where you want to be this year or are looking for a cash boost, this episode will be the fire to get you moving.

Episode Highlights:

• The four traps that keep business owners stuck with sales
• My go-to strategy to generate sales
• The tough love, real talk advice you didn’t realize you needed to end the year
• Plus tips you can do to time audit yourself + your goals and...

How many ideas do you have on any given day? How often do you sit down and dream about the different revenue plans for your business, the different offers that you create, the different types of podcast episodes you can do or the different tactics for marketing you can try? 

As business owners, what a beautiful gift it is to have the opportunity to create things from nothing and build them out into the world to help other people. We’re full of innovative ideas, wanting to always do new things and start taking action on them.  

But what happens when you start taking action on all of these things and you don't actually stick to one thing long enough to make it work? 

If you won’t be careful, this same gift can also be your biggest liability as to why you’re not making any progress in your business and you find yourself stuck in the mud and you can't seem to get out. 

I want to challenge you today to ask yourself, have I really committed to...

You've heard me say it again and again —

A stage is simply a platform to share your message. 

But when you have big dreams of speaking on big stage, it can feel a little daunting and out of reach.

You keep asking yourself how do I get my message out there while making an impact? How can I start showing up for my people while getting more tangible and relevant results to grow my business?

– and that's exactly what we're going to tackle in today's episode.

I’ll break down the 10 stages that  are available to you RIGHT NOW to speak (some will be familiar, some will be outside the box but ALL of which puts YOU and YOUR MESSAGE in front of MORE PEOPLE.) 

So if you have a dream of speaking one day and making a bigger impact, let this episode be the fire under your focus and a nudge for you to take action.

Episode Highlights:

• What happens when you don’t speak enough on “stages?”
• Leveraging your voice to reach and connect more with your...
