I LOVE podcasting. 

I was so proud of starting this podcast, continuing for almost 2 years pretty much straight (little breaks here and there), reaching 100 episodes, having the guests on that I wanted to, and making it MINE. 

I've never cared about vanity metrics or if I'm in the top whatever, it was something I could say I did and made it my own. 

I talked about so many things I truly care about and always showed up 100% authentically. To the point where, I'm pretty sure I forgot to edit out some things I meant to. 

But that was kind of the point. To be UNAPOLOGETIC. To show up the way that felt good to me, to share what I felt was important, and to continue because I loved it. 

Making this decision was hard AF. 

But right now, it's the right one. 

I talk about why, how this relates to doing what's best for you personally and your business, and what's next. 

As always, go after everything you fucking want. 

And be unapologetic about it 🤍

I talk a lot about structuring your business your way, choosing what you want to do, and that includes choosing what you DON'T. And if you don't want to do Black Friday, if you're not into the whole New Year, New Me, you're in the fitness industry and can't get onboard with all the weight loss marketing, I have great news - you never have to. 

Today I'm chatting about how to get unapologetic with your values and beliefs in your business so that you can become so convicted that you don't feel the pull of the 'should's' and can actually decide how YOU want to market your business (and get better results for it). 

I'll also be diving into some of the strategy around what you CAN still do during these seasonal marketing trend times when you're aren't 'trending' but can take advantage of the fact that people are primed to buy. 

I'm tying up the episode with 3 questions to ask yourself so you can market the way YOU want this year and get the results you want from it: 

Are there ways you're marketing in your business that don't actually feel aligned but you feel like you're doing because you 'should'?

How are you going to lean into being more unapologetic about your business values regardless of if they follow the hot trends or not? 

How are you connecting with your ideal clients vs trying to 'market' perfectly so that they'll buy? 

I'd love to hear your takeaways after you listen!

We have a great discussion about our takes on the societal pressures on women that lead to burnout and how you can break these patterns, set boundaries that make sense (and don't mean you're a bitch...), and say NO without guilt.

That last one, we ALL need more of. 

Tune in as Maude shares her expertise and work with clients as a Burnout and Leadership Coach, as well as the ways she's shifted her own thinking around the pressures and expectations that lead to burnout so you can do the same!! 

ABOUT MAUDE

Maude is a burnout prevention and leadership coach for women. She has 15 years of corporate experience; is multi-modally trained; holds ICF accreditation and works in the burnout prevention/high functioning depression space - particularly supporting women in professional and personal growth.

In today's episode I'm talking all about revenue goals, something that a lot of us are thinking about right now as we go into a new year and consider the goals we'd like to achieve in 2026, of course a big one of those being - revenue. 

I'm covering: 

What holds us back from setting higher revenue goals instead of the 'I'm just going to settle with this' number, and how you can get unapologetic with your revenue goals for 2026

The practical side of reaching your revenue goals and if your unapologetic number is possible NOW

The way my clients and I stay on track and focused to hit our revenue goals, and how you can customize this same process to work for you! 

There are 3 questions I'm leaving you with to tie up the episode: 

What is YOUR unapologetic revenue goal for 2026? 

Can you get there right now with the way your business is currently set up?

How are you going to show up both unapologetically and practically so you can meet your goal?

The good, the bad, and really keeping it real as usual. This was definitely not my best year in business revenue wise, but it was a year that I still accomplished a lot, learned a lot, and came away from proud of what I was able to do. 

And I think that's so important, with all the wins we see online focusing a lot on money and how much you made, you still have to remember everything else that matters alongside that. 

I'm also sharing what I'm bringing into 2026, and what is going to be one of the most important things to focus on (IMO) to set yourself apart and continue to have a successful, sustainable business. 

I'd love to hear your takeaways, your reflection on 2025, and the goals you have going into 2026!!

Sailynn has however generated over $17 million in sales so she knows a thing or two about it. She's also the most down to earth and realistic about what it really takes to get there. Her story speaks directly to what we both find really important in business - simplifying and systems - so that you're able to achieve sustainable success without burning out. 

Probably the most important part we touched on, was the life lesson we've both learned from being with so many people at the end of their life - Sailynn having been the owner of a senior home care franchise and myself as an ICU nurse - what REALLY matters and why that's SO important to remember when you're growing and scaling your business. 

ABOUT SAILYNN: 

From working 5 jobs in 7 years to building a multi-million dollar empire, Sailynn Doyle knows firsthand what it takes to break through the 6-figure ceiling where 98% of entrepreneurs get stuck. After purchasing a senior home care franchise in 2007, she quickly scaled to seven figures but found herself trapped in 80-hour workweeks. Refusing to accept burnout as the price of success, Sailynn developed a revolutionary 4-pillar foundation that transformed her business from exhausting growth to sustainable scale. This unique blueprint not only tripled her revenue but also freed her from 80-hour workweeks, ultimately allowing her to achieve her goal of retiring before age 40.

Having generated over $17 million in sales, Sailynn now coaches 6-figure women entrepreneurs who are ready to join the 2% that scale to $1M+. Through her signature 90-day Legacy Business System, she helps ambitious women build the foundation needed to shift from the exhausting Grow Phase to the profitable Scale Phase. Her proven system combines strategic business operations with lifestyle design, enabling women to scale thriving businesses that support their desired lifestyle instead of consuming it.

Today, from her home in sunny South Florida, Sailynn is living proof that you can have it all - a profitable business, precious time with loved ones, and peace of mind - without working yourself to exhaustion.

And we mean this in the realest way. Not the - sure, let's collab just so I can benefit... 

Actually working together and lifting each other up so we can ALL get farther ahead. 

This is something we are both incredibly passionate about and find so important, not only to women right now, but also to show the next generations, in terms of what is possible for women and that we can do it together. 

As Sharon says "The impact that I want to make is for the generation that's barely born. And that's my granddaughter. And I want her to know that the women she sees as I'm building this out, the women she sees around me, everything is possible." 

In the world right now, we need more of that. 

To see and believe that the things we want to do ARE possible and to find the right people that are there to support you to do it. 

We'd love to hear your takeaways after you listen!

About Sharon:

Today’s guest is Sharon Ringier, a small business alignment strategist, visionary entrepreneur, and community builder.

Amy and I are talking ALL about our thoughts on this today, and I love her even changing the word 'balance' to harmony. Because that itself is a shift. 

Is there truly balance? In the REAL sense? 

Short answer - obvious no. But we're going deeper today and talking about how you can focus on what really matters to you to find a sense of harmony and fulfillment in both your business and life!

Amy’s professional journey began in Human Resources, where her passion for people and wellness led her to work on corporate wellness and benefits initiatives, among other projects. Today, with over 500 hours of coaching experience and extensive expertise supporting working parents, she helps parents—primarily entrepreneurial moms—design sustainable lives that align with what truly matters.

Opening up social media and being bombarded with a bunch of people who are also doing the 'same thing' as you (in the same industry) or just also run online businesses and the immediate thoughts of - sh*t. Look at what I'm missing. I'm not doing 'x'. Why am I not getting clients like her? Why does she make it look SO easy... 

On and on.

This is one of those things that can take your confidence out and business with it - IF you let it.

Because people are skeptical and want to know who they're buying from. 

Not only have they been burned by shitty coaches or programs, values and knowing where you stand with what's happening in the world is HUGE. 

It's not just about distrust in the coaching industry. 

It's much more multifaceted than that. 

In today's episode, I'm going over a few things that are impacting business and trust, as well as what that does and doesn't mean for sales, and what you can consider in terms of how you're doing business.

I knew I was taking this time off, but when I actually slowed down - I didn't realize how tired and burnt out I really was. Not really from business, from a number of things, but it still goes to show just how important it truly is that we do take time for ourselves. 

As business owners, this can be SO hard. We start our businesses thinking about all the time freedom and flexibility... and that kinda goes out the window when we get into it. 

In this episode, I talk about my time off and what my biggest 'aha' moments were from that as well as five specific things that I did ahead of time (and you can too!) that kept the momentum going in my business while I 'pulled back'. 

I'd love to hear your biggest takeaways and I hope this inspires you to plan to take more time for yourself too!

BUT - your business isn't on hold. And your goals shouldn't be either. There isn't a better time or 'let's wait this out' until things settle... 

And also - it is hard to hold both. 

I'm sharing today what has really helped me because I've found it really hard to not be distracted. 

To figure out how to still run my business while also trying to process my feelings around the horrifying things that are happening every day and not get stuck ruminating on that forever (and then getting nothing done...) 

I'm breaking it down today and I hope you find it helpful if you're also finding it hard 🤍

I like to think of it as the internal support for you and your business, kind of like the infrastructure. The things that make your business run more smoothly, and allow you to get everything done more effectively and efficiently. 

Today, I'm starting with the platform side of things because although it's not all of it, is a part. And it's one that I know is confusing, can be frustrating, and sometimes costly for a lot of people. 

I want to clear a few things up - like are there platforms that you ABSOLUTELY NEED to scale - and how to figure out which platforms are going to support YOU to scale! 

I'd love to hear your thoughts after you give the episode a listen! 

Join me Tuesday June 17 for my FREE Masterclass: 

The Real Strategy Behind Scaling a Business that Fits Your Lifestyle and Income Goals - BECAUSE YOU AREN'T MEANT TO DO IT LIKE ANYONE ELSE!

I'll be going into even more strategy and systems for scaling your business so you can gain clarity on what YOU really need to achieve the business and life you want!

Michelle was a guest speaker and shared her story on the 'WHEN stories' series (also linked below!!) which is all about - 'when everything changed'. For her, this was first at 15. Finding out she is an intersex person. 

THIS conversation is especially important right now. In pride month. With the state of world and all the thoughts, opinions, and rhetoric around LGBTQIA+ people and their rights. 

You matter. Your story matters. 

Please share with anyone who needs to hear it and be sure to give Michelle's WHEN story a watch - let's get her way past 1000 views!!!

I'm breaking it down in the episode today!

Like many things in the online space, the conversation around 'money mindset' can be very shame-y and blame-y for all the wrong reasons... One of the BIGGEST being - we can't boil down success in business to be dependent on ONE thing. 

AKA - clear your money blocks and suddenly ''all is well', success shall now find you... (right?) 

And if doesn't - your mindset is NOT right, still blocks. 

I'm pretty sure that's not how it works... (or how anything in business works) but let's dive in. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts after you give the episode a listen!

Or building and working towards what YOU really want - regardless of what that looks like. 

You have the power to choose whatever you want your business to look like and to build and scale to whatever your desired bigger vision is - business and life. 

I'm always going to say, I don't give two sh*ts about what's popular online and I'll be first to cheer you on however you want your business to look like and whatever YOUR goals are (aside from scams and illegal things - then I'll definitely tell you let's not) 

The most important thing is that you're deciding what you want and what's going to make you happy. Regardless of what anyone else is doing.

It's mainly the pressure. 

The expectations. 

The whole 'I have to do this' or sound this way or I won't be successful. Or that you have to filter what you REALLY want to say because you're worried about who is going to take it the wrong way or might get offended. 

YES, you have to market your business. BUT - you also get to choose what that looks like. And putting more pressure on yourself to try to fit the box of 'it has to be done this way' is going to make it really hard, if not impossible, to achieve YOUR idea of success.

Ana shares her story of transitioning (or more so, just building alongside) her military career, multiple businesses from brick and mortar to online. 

We discuss how now, more than ever, it is the time to take control of your future and your finances. It might sound like that's 'taking a risk' or a chance, but really, the bigger risk right now - not betting on yourself. 

We'd love to hear your thoughts after you give the episode a listen! 

About Ana: 

I’m Ana McKenna, and I help women—especially those in their 40s and beyond—turn their businesses into bold, bankable brands.

I’ve spent decades building, scaling, and leading businesses that range from bustling dance studios and brick-and-mortar storefronts to online coaching programs and digital memberships. I know what it’s like to scrub the floors and make payroll. I know the thrill of a sold-out recital and a five-figure launch. And I know how to grow a business that actually fits your life—not the other way around.

These days, I coach and mentor female entrepreneurs who are done playing small. They’ve built something solid and now it’s time to scale—to 10K, 20K, or even 30K+ months—with strategy, systems, and confidence. Through programs like Better Business Breakthrough and the Better Life School, I teach women how to stop doing all the things and start doing the right things.

Whether you're a studio or gym owner, a creative, brick-and-mortar babe, or wellness side-hustler, I’m here to help you simplify your business, amplify your brand, and grow with clarity and intention.

BUT, is there a point when you've automated too much?

Or - if you're over doing all the tasks you're having to do every day, where do you even start??

What's really the BEST way to go about setting up automations for your business?? 

I'm going to break it all down today - IMO, what it can look like if your business is "over" automated, where you should get started or what you can think about automating first, and how this all applies to YOUR business. And on that last note, that's probably the most important. Because it really doesn't matter what automations anyone else has, it matters what you need...

We're also discussing why Facebook is not dead and can actually help you grow your business and really boost your visibility in front of your ideal clients. I know, so many people have sworn it off. But - give the episode a listen and see why you *might want to think about going back... 

And, we get into some really great tangents about the realities of building businesses online. Which is pretty much always my fav. 

We'd love to hear what you think about the episode once you give it you listen!!

There is some WILD shit out there. 

And there IS something I can guarantee you about it - it is NOT the magic bullet to build or grow your business. 

No one has the secret or code for anything. 

There's nothing magical about any of this that's going to make this massive difference in your business that somehow is going to translate into a fully sold out, sustainable, long term business. 

That doesn't even make sense. 

Today is all about why that is just going to waste your time and, in the end, you're going to come back to what you really need to focus on... for YOUR business.

It almost feels as if it was something that was caged, talked about but not quite so openly, you knew it was definitely there but there weren't a lot of people that would be so blatantly and brutally racist, misogynistic, hateful, and just f*cked up.

If you are still using Stripe or Paypal links, e-transfer or Venmo to get payment... and chasing invoices every month - this is definitely an episode you don't want to miss! 

Not only does ThriveCart provide checkouts and sales pages to get your payments straightened out and streamlined, it offers a ton of really great integrations to make it easier to connect with your current platforms, as well as something many people don't know about - courses! 

I go over all of it today, plus a ton more of the benefits and as always, I'm going to tell you about what I don't love (which isn't much but let's real, nothing is ever perfect) 

I'd love to hear your thoughts after you give the episode a listen!

I'm sure at some point or another you've heard of objection handling - whether you've been told 'how to do it...', been on a call or in the DMs with someone who 'handled your objection', or maybe you've heard the stories... 

There's a MASSIVE difference between talking to someone about their concerns and questions and the kind of 'objection handling' that is often referred to, especially in the online industry (we'll just use this as a whole because it's not actually just business coaching but it is common there). Making someone feel guilty, dismissing the validity of their concerns - especially around money, or pretending as though everyone should just be ready to invest/pay you instantly is not ok. 

I'd love to hear your experience with objection handling and your thoughts after you give the episode a listen!

All this is true. 

BUT - it's also hard. 

And many times, this is the conversation people don't want to hear or have openly. Because it sounds like you're ungrateful for the flexibility you do get. Or if you say it's hard, then it's like - well, you could go back to a 9-5... 

Here's the thing, two things can and ARE true at once. 

I have had so many conversations with friends and clients about this. 

I love my business and the flexibility and all it allows it me and I would never go back to nursing... 

AND that doesn't negate the fact that it's also hard to do all the things I need to when my kids are home because they're off for a week or have a random day off pop up because the reality is, we still have to run the business. 

So today, I'm getting into it. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts after you listen!

Maybe you can imagine it - because you could be in the same place we are. 

I'm joined today by my friend Em to talk all about it!

How our neurodivergent brains require different systems than the typical, meant for neurotypical brains that you often come across online (and in life - let's be real), the real side of what it's like running a business with kids who are also neurodivergent, and just how life in general is different. 

I loved this conversation because it was a great insight into a lot of what people might not see behind the scenes and honestly, sometimes, when you're a parent with kids who are neurodivergent it can be hard. Especially if you don't have a support system of people who really get it because they are going through it too. 

We'd love to hear your thoughts after you give the episode a listen! 

ABOUT EM:

Em is an ADHD business coach and mom of 2 neurodivergent kids. She’s the founder of Vibrant Virtual and will yap about ADHD, parenting, politics, fantasy books, and/or Shrek anytime.

This is so important to make sure the RIGHT message gets out. 

Autism DOES NOT destroy families. 

Autistic people are NOT damaged. 

So much of what is happening right now is complete and utter insanity. It's hard to believe it's real AND this isn't a time to ignore that it's happening and pretend like it's not. 

I would love for you to share this episode to anyone who needs to hear it. 

Christy's app - Experiential Life

will be available any day now to download so if you have an autistic child, you can use it to connect you with the right resources and support you need. 

ABOUT CHRISTY:

Christy Russell is a self diagnosed AuDHD mom to 3 young men, and her youngest is an autistic teen. She's spent the last decade as a healthcare and disability advocate working inside the systems that support people with disabilities. She's taken a leap to address the number one issues families like hers complain about - the lack of a single online space to find trusted information, resources, community, and support for families raising neurodivergent children. Experiential Life is a mobile app that brings organizations, agencies, professionals, and providers to families - so they don't have to spend hours searching... And it includes a community forum that is a cross between Facebook and Reddit, but all contained within the privacy of the community.

It's nothing to do with strategy or systems or sales...

It has to do with all the conditioning that has been ingrained in many of us.

You'd think that having your own business where you get to call the shots and 'do what you want' would be easy - yet it's one of the things I find that has many people questioning themselves and what you're doing and if you're doing it 'right'.

Looking for permission and wanting to please everyone, even if it doesn't totally make sense for you want... 

This comes up every week in conversations with clients and friends of mine. It's something I've had to work through and still have to make sure I catch myself and say: 

Yes. It is ok. 

To make a decision on a business model that I want. Just because that's what feels best to me. 

To set my hours when they are because that's what works for me and my family. 

To offer free calls because I like doing them (and they work for my business) and not care what anyone else might be doing. 

It's all ok for you too. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts after you listen!

Just like funnels, data can be as simple or complicated as you make it. 

I'm going to go through some average data rates, which I think will give a lot of perspective when you look at your data, and things you can look at for content, landing pages, emails, and the one thing that surprised me (and has saved me a ton of time) by tracking where my leads and traffic are coming from!

I'm sharing the biggest lesson I've learned that relates to both life and business and it's something that has helped me achieve what I have in my life and continue to go after what I want. 

I'm also talking about the goals I have for both personally and for my business for the next year. 

I think it's an interesting conversation in a lot of ways because it was actually hard for me to come up with the personal goals and I talk a bit about why. 

The business goals were 'easier' but I'm giving myself a really stretchy one but saying it out loud to hold myself accountable to do what I know I need to, to reach it! 

I'd love to hear your thoughts, your goals, takeaways, whatever comes up after you listen!

This was the platform I used for years before I switched to ShinePages and many of my clients now use as well. I'm going over why I love it (for the most part), one thing they really need to improve, and giving you the info you need to know to decide if ConvertKit would be a platform you'd want to check out for yourself! 

I'm talking features and pricing compared to other platforms, automations and sequences, the ability to migrate to ConvertKit if you're on another platform and want to move over, the dashboards and how easy it is to track your data, and how it integrates with other platforms and why this is really important! 

I'd love to hear your thoughts once you listen!

I wanted to talk about AI - ChatGPT, AI pictures, and what seems to be a newer 'trend' - which I hope is not actually a trend and goes away - coaching bots. 

We're starting with the tame and more 'normal' side of this interesting topic and ending with the complete f*ckery, which, I hate to say is pretty in line with the timeline we're in. 

Enjoy and I'd love to hear your thoughts on AI as well, especially the 'new trend' which we'll all hope will be ending soon.

I actually LOVE talking about funnels and helping people set them up! So often they are way overcomplicated and today I'm going to simplify it right down and make it make sense. 

I'm talking about launch funnels vs evergreen funnels, how they save you a ton of time when you have them set up properly, the data they can give you so you can understand what's going on in your business, and more! 

I'd love to hear your takeaways after you listen!

Like yeah right. Get the f*ck out of here. 

Sales aren't easy. 

But here's the thing - when I really thought about it, and I've been thinking about a lot of different things in my business lately, they are and the truth is, the way I "make sales" has been easy. 

I also come at this and bring up these topics from a much different angle than just telling you 'sales are easy'.  That would be ridiculous to make that statement and leave it at that. 

But I do think a lot of the time we are making this so much harder than it really needs to be. 

I have a couple good mindset shifts for you, as well as tangible tips that will help you with making your own sales process so much more simple and 'easy'.

We're diving into all the features ShinePages has to offer as an all-in-one website, the ease of use (which is HUGE compared to other platforms that I've worked on), affordability, and their amazing customer service. And while all that sounds great (because it is) we also discuss the importance of knowing which platform is right for YOUR business, because although we both obviously love ShinePages, it isn't necessarily the platform for everyone. 

Make sure you stick around until the end because Robin also shares some exciting updates coming soon! 

We'd love to hear your thoughts and if you have any questions about ShinePages, don't hesitate to reach out! 

You can check out the platform for yourself here:

Things have changed MASSIVELY online since 2020 and the boom when everyone and their grandma was getting on and starting a business. 

Even since 2022 or 2023. 

A LOT has changed. 

I'm going to talk about a few things that impact the way people buy or decide to invest and decide WHO they are going to buy from, and how that can impact what your marketing looks like. 

Some of this is also really good mindset shift around, again expectations, and what we are expecting to happen vs what's actually happening right now as well as why. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts and your biggest takeaways from this episode!

It's interesting because it shows the dichotomy in the online space of people who have been completely silent while the world continues to be on fire (and we are stuck in the DUMBEST timeline ever), and people, like myself, who have chosen to speak up about what's happening. 

I'm discussing both and some nuances that I see, as well as why, personally, I think that's it's important and I'll continue to choose to speak up and speak out over being silent.

I received an email yesterday from someone, who shall remain unnamed, in the online space saying they had spent $2 MILLION dollars on ads... This same someone also posts a LOT about how "easy" it is to just pop up a reel and make $$$$$. (And now 'every single business owner should run ads'... NO, NO YOU SHOULD NOT.)

Make that make sense. 

So were going to discuss a bit of the implications of THAT. 

But mostly, this topic came up because I've had a number of clients ask me about ads and also tell me that their past coaches suggested that they should do ads. 

Personally, I think it's insane if someone is suggesting this to you just 'as a thing to do.' like brushing your teeth. NO.

There are a lot of things to consider and look at if you're wanting to run ads - which BTW, I don't think is BAD, you just need to know what you're doing to get the results you're looking for - so I'm going over some of the things to consider BEFORE you start putting money down. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts about ads and the episode!

I don't have expectations on outcomes for anything in my business and it's probably one of the best things I've done mindset wise for myself (and probably results wise). 

This is also a conversation I have with clients a lot that helps release so much of the pressure that we put on ourselves day to day. 

There are two main ways I see expectation come up that I talk about (and why neither are helpful), as well as how you can release your expectations, keep your goals, and make more progress in your business! 

I'd love to hear your thoughts and you'll have to send me a message to let me know you're going to try zero expectations for at least two weeks! I can't wait to hear what you think!

So often I see it thrown out as the one platform you absolutely need anytime someone asks for a recommendation. 

One of the reasons I actually started Tech Help Desk was because I kept seeing this happen - people would ask for a recommendation for a platform, whether it was email, website, CRM, whatever. 

And then a million people and their grandma would chime in with their opinions, and what they like (and their affiliate links...), and TBH - this is really not helpful. 

GHL comes up A LOT when this happens. 

So let's break it down...

We all do this. Making up stories around scenarios we think might happen before they do so we don't take action on the very thing that's going to make the difference and get you the results you actually want. 

It often looks like almost catastrophizing and thinking it's going to be something you can't handle without knowing what's actually going to happen because you aren't yet doing the "thing." 

And until you do it - you won't know. 

Sometimes you're going to have to sit into this discomfort instead of letting your mind take over and tell you stories about what 'might' happen. 

Because the reality could be vastly different. 

Today, I'm challenging you to get out of avoidance and do the 'thing' for you (I give a few examples so you'll be able to identify yours!) that's holding you back from the results and success you want! 

I'd love to hear what came up for you and what you're going to stop avoiding!!

This is about so much more than celebrities and Blake Lively. What her case is doing is highlighting a real problem that women face every day. The biggest issue here, is all the women that see, over and over, the messages around - "so many women make false reports", "she's obviously lying" (with no basis behind that statement other than she just must be), and the sheer amount of victim blaming and shaming rather than actually holding someone accountable for their actions. 

This sets a precedent and sends a message to every woman that has or will experience the same thing - you're lying, it was your fault, you 'deserved' this (and yes I've actually seen that one and it was a few times unfortunately to women talking about their own experience...), and overall do not report anything if it happens to you because no one is going to believe it and nothing is going to be done. 

I choose to believe that by talking about this, whether it directly relates to business or not, I'm going to put another message out and it's going to reach the women it needs to. 

And most importantly - I do believe you.

Business owners who want to charge thousands and make a lot of money (totally fine) but also want to pay almost nothing for someone to be on their "team" and have high expectations of their work. 

I get wanting your team to do good work for you.

I don't understand wanting to pay as little as possible (I'm talking $15/hr or much less) when you're apparently making so much AND expecting a lot...

We'd love to hear your thoughts after you give it a listen!

For many of us, part of the reason for starting an online business was to achieve that elusive sense of freedom - both in time and money. Wendy is sharing with us some tangible tips and strategies on how you can start to truly feel that today - without a changing a thing - and get yourself closer to your idea of financial freedom and success! 

About Wendy: 
After divorce and death of family members, Wendy Verwey took control of her money once and for all and was able to retire at 41, as a single mom.

How did she do it? By SIMPLIFYING her life. Wendy used her F.R.E.E. framework to create a life she doesn't need a vacation from.

Now as the host of the FIRE Yourself First podcast and her online courses, she teaches and inspires others to use what they know, have and do to create freedom for themselves!

I just did this with a client of mine to add an additional option for her to make extra sales at the end of her launch, using what she already has in her offer suite and adding this option to the automated email sequence that was already sending to sell the main offer! 

No extra work, but maximized sales!

Today on the podcast, Jen Boyle and I are chatting about her experience coming into a leadership role, initially thinking it meant she had to do it one way, be the authoritative leader, which she isn't. This shaped her journey to where she is now and how she empowers quiet and introverted women to find their own authentic way to lead and show up online and in their careers. 

We also dive into a lot around showing up authentically online, especially for someone who is quieter, and how Jen's business has evolved over the last couple years. 

We'd love to hear your takeaways from this episode! Connect with either me or Jen (or both of us!) below!

About Jen:

Jen Boyle is a Leadership and Communications Expert and the host of The Lead Quietly Podcast. She leads a welcoming community for quiet and introverted women, and her mission is to show quiet women that they can be great leaders, in business and career (and life) without being loud. She teaches women how to be stronger leaders, more effective communicators, and how to build credibility and online presence without having to be on social media 24/7. She is a Master’s educated communications professional with 20+ years of experience in the communications industry and more than 15 years building and leading high-performing teams.

That's most people I talk too. But after this episode, not any more. 
I'm going to break down funnels and make them so SUPER simple to understand even your grandma could do it! 

There are three types I'm going to be talking about: email builder, group builder, and the BIGGIE - sales funnel. 

Do you need them all? Not necessarily. 

These are only three options and once you listen, you'll get the idea of how you can apply this to your business model and really identify the funnels that would be most effective for you! 

I'd love to hear your takeaways after this episode, especially if you were a funnel "hater" before! 
Have I changed your mind??

Once you have these in place, it's like a one and done.
You do it once and they are in place until you change the offer or freebie. 

It saves a TON of time and stress during your launch when you have this set up!

People can land on your launch content...
Opt in for your lead magnet (because they saw your CTA and know where to find the link!) 
Receive emails with the lead magnet delivered and selling your offer AUTOMATICALLY
Go to your sales page and find all the info for your offer
Make their way to the checkout and become a client (maybe while you're sitting on the deck having drinks this weekend!) 
And receive what they need to get started in the onboarding email - without you having to scramble to send it! 

To set this all this up together for YOUR launch, check out the details for the 6 Week to Sold Out Launch Intensive here:

There are 3 specific things I want you think about in terms of your lead magnet: 

1. Creating from your offer
2. Giving value
3. How to package it to make sense for BOTH you and your ideal client

I discuss what you can consider and how to create your lead magnet based on these 3 factors so it CONVERTS leads to clients into the offer you're launching!

First up - looking at your goal. 
Is it actually realistic? 
Are you just choosing a number because it sounds good or playing by the 'I heard someone else make x in their launch and I want to do that too...' that isn't going to work. 

Here's how to determine YOUR launch goal and whether you can realistically hit it given the price of your offer and the capacity you can take on. 
If it's still out of reach - I give some suggestions on what you can look at to close that gap! 

This is exactly what we work together on in the 6 Weeks to Sold Out Launch Intensive. It's customized for your business and your goals so we can lay out the strategy and action plan that you need to take to make that $5K, $10K, or whatever YOUR goal is, happen! 

And that's just the FIRST part!

Her journey to developing her program and the passion behind it comes from her experience of taking fitness and especially dieting/food to the extreme after losing her mom. 

Today, she works with women who want to ditch the skinny fat body type and mind fuck around food so they can be fit AF without getting stuck in food rules, 1200 calorie diets, and all the BS that isn't actually going to get you to the toned body you're after.

That happens for no one. So we're going to chat about it. 
Because it's definitely not you. 
Even if someone tells you, it's you and you need to mindset harder. 
Still not you. 
So let's normalize what it DOES take.

Personally, I'm obsessed with launching. I love it. 

But there are MANY people who absolutely dread the thought of another launch... I'm breaking down why we often come to dread launching AND three things you can do differently right now to turn things around!

To have a sustainable business, it's very similar to incorporating a sustainable fitness routine into your life. You have to build the foundations for both if you want them to last long term. 

Today Pat and I are chatting about how systems have made a HUGE difference in her business to set this solid foundation and make all the pieces come together to create a streamlined flow that allows her to focus on coaching - why she started her business - instead of all the back end tasks and tech. 

We also talk about her approach to fitness and the experiences that led her to the sustainable philosophy she coaches today! 

ABOUT PAT:
Patricia is a Sustainable Fitness & Lifestyle Coach helps simplify fitness for perfectionist and high-achieving women. She places a lot of emphasis on daily habits, consistency and sustainability in the long term. She developed her sustainable coaching philosophy through her personal journey over the past 6 years throughout which she went from party girl to losing 10+ kg, running 16 Half Marathons and doing 2 bikini bodybuilding competitions whilst working in fast-paced 9-5 jobs in tech startups and marketing agencies.

This is PART TWO of the episode where I talk about starting my fitness business and becoming an entrepreneur. 

Today, my husband Jameison is joining me to share his perspective on what it's like being the partner of an entrepreneur and supporting someone through the journey of building a business - or in my case, two. 

He talks about what it was like when I finally made the decision to start my first business through to supporting me in going full time in my business today. 

We discuss what the impact has been on our family, as well as the difference he sees in me going from nursing to entrepreneurship. 

He also shares some of his thoughts on social media and the online business industry as someone who doesn't use it... 

I hope you enjoy this candid look at the side of entrepreneurship we don't often get to see. The support behind the face of the business.

Today I'm talking about the TikTok ban... 
It's been all over SM, people are pissed (I get it) but also, it's time to start thinking proactively about what you're doing if these platforms do get shut down. 

Will they, won't they - who knows. 

But the reality is - you don't control it. 

Here's my thoughts and what you can do to ensure you can continue running your business if it does happen!

All about Angela: 

I am a child-free Millennial who is living a life outside of the box and status quo! I am a former public school teacher turned social disruptor, professional hype woman, entrepreneur, podcaster, speaker and badass unicorn. After my dad died suddenly, I realized I wasn't living a life I loved and I was SO UNHAPPY. I had to let go of generational trauma, inherited limiting beliefs and my millennial deference. So, I quit my job, launched a successful fitness business and now I help millennials shed limiting beliefs and take ACTION in their life to bust out of the "should", shed the limiting status quo and live a life they love. My combined practices of NLP coaching, my signature process, a global podcast, mixed with some badass life experience provides a space for people to be brave and confident to go after the life they really want.

Today I'm talking about systems for your business, something that many people like to avoid due to the tech involved... but I really want you to consider how systems support your business so that it can support the life you want to live. 

At the end of the day, we didn't start businesses to work all day, every day. Setting up systems for your business in a way that allows you to reach your goals AND be present in your life is truly how they can support you best.
