If you want to create episodes listeners stay glued to instead of mentally checking out halfway through, hit play and let’s dive in.

]]> It’s the day before your episode goes live. You still have to outline it, record it, edit it, and get it all done before 6:00 am tomorrow morning when your listeners will be looking for it. You tell yourself you work better under pressure, but this pace drains your energy, kills your creativity, and honestly? It makes you hate your podcast.

In this episode, I’m answering a listener’s question about finding time to prep your episodes, and exposing what’s really behind the last-minute race to hit publish. You’ll get the exact system I use to stay a month ahead on content so you can stop duct-taping episodes together at midnight the night before they air.

If you’re over staying up late and showing up tired in the name of staying consistent, hit play and let’s dive in.

...

1:12 – Why “Finding Time to Record” Keeps You Editing at Midnight 

3:18 – What Your Listeners Can Hear When You Show Up With Last-Minute Energy 

5:05 – How I Stay a Month Ahead on Content and Still Follow Inspiration When it Hits 

7:30 – Why Letting Guests Control Your Calendar Sabotages Your Authority 

9:48 – The System That Turns Shower Thoughts Into Fully Formed Episodes

But when the podcast doesn’t grow (or it grows but doesn’t convert) you’re right back where you started, wondering if you’re doing something wrong or if podcasting just doesn’t work. 

The reason this keeps happening is because growing your audience isn’t what turns listeners into buyers. But this is completely fixable when you know what's causing the problem and what needs to change.

If you want to understand why your podcast isn’t paying you yet (and what needs to happen before it can) hit play and let’s dive in.

...

1:45 – The Two Biggest Reasons Most Hosts Never Make Money From Their Podcasts

3:16 – Why a Podcast Won’t Fix a Broken Offer (But Will Expose the Problem)

5:15 – The One Question That Determines Whether Your Podcast Will Make Money

7:29 – What You Need in Place Before You Can Monetize Your Podcast

11:46 – What to Fix First If You Want Your Podcast to Drive Sales

]]> If you’ve been putting off starting a podcast because you're not sure it’ll actually move the needle for your business, this one’s for you. Fellow podcast host and clinical psychologist Dr. Christine Li joins me to help you overcome the self-doubt, perfectionism, and procrastination that’s keeping you from getting started (hey, we’ve all been there).

So if you're ready to stop overthinking and finally hit publish on your podcast (or if you just need a kick in the pants to get out of your own way), hit play and let’s make your business bingeworthy.

1:58 - The Real Cause of Perfectionism and Procrastination in Podcasting

12:20 - Building Your Authority from Day One with Your Podcast

14:32 - Turning Your Podcast into a Powerful Client Acquisition Tool

Because having a bingeworthy podcast isn’t just about keeping listeners’ attention — it's about knowing how to grab it in the first place.

In this episode, I'm breaking down three powerful ways to subconsciously communicate the value of your show to your potential listener. You’ll also learn the five red flags to avoid when creating episode titles and why AI tools aren’t helping your show stand out as much as you think.

If you have a podcast or you’re thinking of starting one, mastering this skillset will set you apart from 99% of other hosts who aren’t doing this, so hit play and let’s make your business bingeworthy.

Think about it: if consistency were the key to long-term podcasting growth, then everyone who’s been releasing an episode every week for the past year or more would have a Top 100 podcast — and that’s not the case.

Look, no one (and I mean absolutely no one) starts a podcast and says, "I want to put all this effort in and get zero return." You *want* to reach millions with your message. You *want* a bingeworthy show that people rave about with their friends.

If you’re like, ummm DUH, YES then pay attention because you’re about to learn how to drive more conversions by communicating in a way that makes your listener pay attention while creating demand for whatever product or service you offer.

My friend and mentor Brandon Lucero is a master at the art of persuasive communication, and he joins us inside this bonus episode to show you the top reasons why your listeners aren’t converting to clients — and how to fix it.

The problem? Most podcast hosts think “valuable content” is the key to growing an engaged podcast audience. So they teach as much as they can in every episode because they believe more information means more value.

But it doesn’t work like that. (If it did, then your listeners wouldn’t lose interest and stop listening before finishing the episode).

If you want to become a top podcast host, you need to learn how to speak your listener’s language. This is why I invited top podcaster and communications expert Brandon Lucero to join me in this episode to show you four powerful ways you can hook your listeners in, keep them engaged, and drive more conversions from your podcast.

[SPOILER ALERT] these four techniques will allow you to stop creating episodes that blend in with others, make listeners rave about your content, keep listeners coming back again and again to binge your episodes, and raise their hands asking how to work with you.

If you don’t want that, don’t listen. But if you’re ready to learn how, hit play and let’s make your business bingeworthy.

4:56 - Why Too Much Teaching Can Drive Listeners Away

→ You publish at least one new podcast episode every week without fail... but you’re still getting less than 1000 downloads per episode (despite doing literally everything the experts say you need to do to grow your show)

→ People tell you they love your podcast but no one has left a review on your show in the last 30 days

→ You check your analytics dashboard every week but haven't seen a significant increase in downloads or listens in the last three months

→ Even though you know the content you share in every episode is highly valuable, only one or two listeners have ever reached out asking how to work with you

If you're like, UM YES THIS IS ME, then you've probably also been told that that podcasting is a long game and that you just need to stay consistent and give it more time.

But have you ever asked yourself why it's not working? ... there's a reason why.

And after helping over 95% of our clients break the Top 100 in their categories, we've found it's often because your podcast is missing something called a "core differentiator" . Or in other words, a way of communicating to your listener why your show is the one they need to listen to.

We both know you're here to add real value and make meaningful change in people's lives. So to save you 4+ years of figuring this out the hard way like I did, I recorded this episode for you. :)

Here's Why (and How to Fix It) Getting Zero Engagement from Repurposed Podcast Content? Here's Why (and How to Fix It) You've heard of content repurposing: taking your podcast episodes and converting them into bite-sized clips to share on short-form platforms.

In theory it's supposed to help you expand your reach and drive traffic back to your podcast. But in reality? Now you're spending hours scouring through endless AI-generated clips and adding flashy effects and captions at the expense of all the other things you need to do in your business (you know, like sales and client delivery).

What's worse is that you have zero way of knowing if all this work is doing anything to drive traffic back to your podcast. (not much, from the looks of your 30-day downloads).

I'm breaking down three reasons your content repurposing efforts are falling flat, and give you three uncommon strategies the pros use to create viral content that commands attention and drives traffic back to your show.

So if you're over posting podcast video clips to social media (or heck, throwing the whole episode up on YouTube), only to get a couple hundred views and no likes or comments — hit play and let's make your business bingeworthy.

But when you think of successful podcasts like "Serial" or "The Joe Rogan Experience”, it’s not ~just~ the audio quality or even the content itself that draws people in and keeps them coming back. (Because if that were true, then everyone with a $100+ mic who releases high-quality episodes every week would be in the Top 100 and we both know that’s not the case).

But, today’s top podcasts DO have four things in common — and one of the most important? A strong podcast brand that compels listeners to choose *your* show over others like yours.

But podcast branding is much more than cover art and a catchy show title. Which is why I invited co-hosts Tonya Eberhart and Michael Carr of the top ranked Be Bold Branding podcast to join me in this episode so we can help you nail the invisible elements of your podcast brand and create a show listeners can’t ignore.

(hey, it needed to be said).

Look, in today's AI-driven world I KNOW it's tempting to use technology to streamline your processes. But to what extent should you be using AI for your podcast? And is AI actually harming your show’s ability to attract new listeners?

Put it this way: there'll only ever be one true Picasso. And just like an art expert can spot what's real and what's fake, it's crucial to maintain your podcast's unique identity amid the flood of AI-generated content. Because guess who's becoming the new decoders of authenticity? Yup. Your listeners. 

But instead of trading dollars for priceless works of art, they're trading something even more valuable: their time. And they don't want to spend it listening to impersonators. (YOU are the real deal - I know that. But it's your listeners we have to convince.)

So I asked global tech founder and AI expert, Manuj Aggarwal, to join me in this episode to discuss how you can use AI without losing your authentic voice.

Because in a Black Mirror world where everything is a simulation, being real is the new priceless. (Okay fine, so Mastercard won't be hiring me anytime soon.) 

But if you're ready to learn how you can streamline your podcast production without sounding like everyone else who's *also* uploading their episode content into the same AI tools, THAT I can help with. Hit play and let's make your business bingeworthy.

]]> SPOILER ALERT: A fancy mic won't make you a successful podcaster. (Okay, fine, maybe that’s obvious.)

But if you're currently not seeing the conversions you want from your podcast, it might have absolutely nothing to do with how good your microphone is or the quality of your content or how consistently you release episodes.

It *could* be that you're unknowingly pushing people away with your number one tool for building trust as a podcaster — your voice.

I don't mean that you somehow got forgotten at the back of the line the day God was handing out angelic voices. I'm talking about how your audience might be tuning you out because of something they're picking up on in your God-given voice.

Anxiety? They can sense it.

Self doubt? They can hear it.

Apologizing when you ask them to take any kind of action? Yup, you guessed it.

In this episode, you’re going to learn: 

  • The impact of nonverbal communication on your listener engagement
  • How unconscious sounds in your voice can repel listeners without you realizing it
  • Why your beliefs and thoughts can impact the way your voice is received
  • A behind-the-scenes look at my own journey from struggling to hit six figures to being named among the top 1% of all podcasts globally simply by learning how to use my voice more effectively (and how you can do the same)
  • If you want a podcast that's worthy of being in the Top 100 and make meaningful change in the world through your voice, hit play and let’s make your business bingeworthy.

0:54 - The 93% Rule: How You Say It Matters More Than What You Say

1:50 - How Your Voice Can Build (or Break) Trust with Your Listeners

5:29 - The Hidden Impact of Your Voice on Listener Conversions

7:50 - Why It's About More than Cutting Out Filler Words...

20:15 - How to Assess and Adjust Your Voice for Better Listener Engagement

Here’s What to Do. Running Out of Podcast Episode Ideas? Here’s What to Do. You know that feeling when it's the day before your next podcast episode is supposed to air and you find yourself staring at the keyboard wondering "Omg... what on earth am I going to talk about?!"

I used to HARDCORE STRUGGLE with coming up with fresh content ideas on my topic when it felt like I'd already talked about everything under the sun — multiple times.

I had no clue that I was approaching it totally the wrong way, though.

Too often, podcast hosts (our clients included) think they have to resign themselves to the fact that coming up with content ideas after you've spent 142 episodes talking about everything there is to know about your topic is gonna be a soul-sucking slog from there on out.

When, really, your case of podcaster's block is actually caused by something else altogether (and once you realize what it is, you're gonna be like "Oh OKAY I can't believe I didn't see it before.”)

Trust me: creating a podcast that's FUN for you + interesting for your listener is about to get a whoooole lot easier. And once you see it, you'll be cranking out podcast episodes like the Energizer Bunny on steroids. Or with the peak energy of my six year old at 5:30 am every morning.

It’s the question that keeps every aspiring podcaster up at night, and I get why — they see all these top podcasters with hundreds of thousands of followers on social media (and an email list worth envying) and assume that to be successful with a podcast, they need that too. 

In fact most people think that people like Amy Porterfield and Tim Ferris and heck, Joe-freakin-Rogan are successful podcasters because they had a big audience when they started their show.

But nope. It's actually the other way around.

Being ultra-successful with a podcast isn’t about how big your audience is when you start. It's about knowing how to differentiate yourself to attract the right audience *so that* you can grow.

If you have a podcast right now that's not growing like you expected it to (OR) if you’re someone who wants to start a podcast this year and make sure it's successful from the jump...

You’re going to need to know what levers to pull to make sure your show stands out and gets the attention it deserves.

I hate to break it to you, but waiting around to hit that 1000+ downloads-per-episode milestone is the very thing keeping your podcast stuck.

Most hosts think, “As long as I’m consistent, my show will grow in time.”

But if the average show only brings in ~2000 total downloads per year, the REAL question is: how many years are you willing to work to finally start seeing the results you want? (No wonder most hosts quit after Episode 6.)

If you want a podcast that increases listeners’ trust in you as the expert and converts those listeners to leads and clients — it’s more than essential. It’s the key to unlocking your podcast's true potential.

But if you think you know your podcast avatar, think again. Most people haven’t gone deep enough to truly understand their ideal listener. They stop at basic demographics and miss the goldmine of insights that come from digging into psychographics. 

To create a podcast that not only attracts but also engages and converts, you need to make your listener feel like you’re talking only to them, and that takes knowing your listener on a deeper, more personal level. This is where real growth happens.

But having good content doesn’t matter one bit if you can’t get listeners to hit play in the first place.

That’s why inside this episode, I’m letting you listen in on an exclusive interview I did on the Podcast on Podcasting where I break down the five content gatekeepers that your listener has to experience *before* deciding whether to hit play. 

If a listener can’t make it through all five of these gates, they won’t click play — which means they’ll never hear how valuable your content actually is.

What Does it (Really) Mean to Run Your Business on Autopilot? Did you start your online business with the dream of being your own boss, only to wake up one day and realize you’re working harder now than ever before?

If you answered yes, chances are you’re an overworked entrepreneur who’s lacking one of the four key systems needed to build a business that runs on autopilot… not one that runs you. 

Time, energy, and effort are limited resources, so when you depend solely on these to scale a business, you cap your income, influence, and impact.

But true visionary leaders operate differently, because they know that inconsistent lead flow and revenue isn’t a reflection of your messaging, your expertise, or your skillset — it’s a problem that goes much deeper, and (lucky for you) is a simple fix. 

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH: 

  • Why most people don’t understand what the word “growth” really means 
  • The REAL reason your business growth has plateaued (HINT: it’s not the ‘fear of failure’ or ‘fear of success') 
  • The number one thing you need to run a successful business (that most entrepreneurs aren’t doing)

]]> What would it do for your business to finally nurture that email list you've worked so tirelessly to build instead of continuing to put it on the backburner of your to-do list?

Now, imagine how it would feel to be able to do this email marketing nurturing on autopilot week after week?!?

You and I both know that building an email list is only half the battle (and maybe not even the hardest half). Because what good is spending all that time building your list if you can’t keep people on it?

Even worse... What good is having a killer list filled with potential clients but not knowing how to NURTURE them so that they’re primed and ready to snag the incredible offers you’re putting out there?

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN: 

  • A simple, 4-step process for automating your business systems and process, and email marketing
  • How to nurture your list and maintain the relationships you’ve worked so hard to build (without wasting any more time wondering what to say!)
  • The exact framework to implement that’s also super easy to pass off to your team, so they can continue creating amazing content week after week

]]> I can’t begin to tell you the number of lessons learned during my time as an entrepreneur.

What I can tell you is that the speed of your business growth — and your personal growth — depends on how well you learn these lessons.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a big lesson learned (and one I paid $23K for) that was necessary to propel me to my next level of growth.

I’m sharing it with you so that hopefully, you can take this same lesson and apply it to your business, without the hefty price tag.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:

  • The $23K mistake I made that kept me stuck for almost three years and the lessons I learned 
  • The reason personal development alone wasn’t enough to avoid this mistake
  • How I wound up turning this $23K mistake into a profit 
  • The secret ingredient you need to avoid a major mistake like this

If you’ve ever wondered what the meaning of success is, or how to define successful, today’s episode is for you.

With the way the world has changed, my hope is that when you finish listening today, you’ll begin to recognize that the meaning of success is what you define it to be.

Today’s episode is special, because of over 25+ guests who I had the pleasure of interviewing on the podcast this year, none of them had the same answer to the question I asked at the end of each interview: “What is your definition of success?”

The way they define successful for themselves is fascinating. Today, you’re going to get an insider's peek into the minds of these six- and seven-figure entrepreneurs’ unique take on the meaning of success, so you can get inspired, learn how to define what success looks like for you, and get out there to create it.

As we move forward together into our new and brighter future, my hope for you is that you’ll learn to stop chasing someone else’s definition of success, and start chasing your own.

But guess what business built on effort alone (a limited resource) will give you? Limited results. That’s why today, we’re talking about the only three characteristics of entrepreneurship you need to master in order to unlock the DNA of a 7 figure entrepreneur, and create the influence, income, and impact you deserve.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

  • How mastering these characteristics of entrepreneurship helped Jeff Bezos (Amazon’s Founder) created a net worth of $200+ billion dollars
  • Why most entrepreneurs don’t spend time learning these skills for entrepreneurship (hence, why they’re struggling!)
  • How you can begin to master these 3 skills for entrepreneurship to  turn your business around, starting today

Most entrepreneurs aren't lacking in ambition... they simply lack one or more of these three key characteristics of entrepreneurship required to break through to that coveted 6+ figure mark and beyond.

One of the questions I’m often asked is, “Courtney, how do you deal with stress and anxiety?” My answer usually surprises people.

So today I thought I’d share my answer on how to destress with you in a way I’ve never done before.

Inside this episode, I explain why “Band-Aid fixes” to deal with stress and anxiety (like journaling, getting a massage, taking a bubble bath etc) aren't effective approaches for dealing with stress and anxiety, so you can put REAL tools in your toolbelt for dealing with stress and anxiety, and finally learn how to destress once and for all and get back in control of your life.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • How to know when your stress level is in the danger zone
  • Why stress can’t be “eliminated” or “managed” (and how to destress, instead)
  • The root cause of most chronic stress
  • The role your thoughts play in dealing with stress and anxiety
  • Why some people are better at finding ways to deal with stress and anxiety than others
  • How to mitigate stressful situations that “pop up” out of the blue (like when the water heater floods your house, a pandemic hits the globe… etc.)  

When you finish listening, you’ll walk away with more effective ways to deal with stress, so you can learn how to destress, stop overworking, and find a better rhythm in between your work and life.

Today’s special guest is the notable Casey Ferrand, a national award-winning journalist and children's author who doubled her brand visibility in less than 3 months when she began using the Visionary Leader Formula™ (and no, she didn't rely on the media to do it, either).

Despite having worked hard in her career for 13+ years, once she discovered what was actually holding her back from creating a brand she loved, she was able to freely walk away from something good… into something GREAT.

Today on the show, she’s here to tell you how you can get out of your own way when it comes to creating a brand and doubling your brand visibility, too.

WHEN YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

  • The secret sauce for boosting your personal brand visibility (hint: it’s not another marketing tactic!)
  • How “Imposter Syndrome” keeps you from creating a brand you love (and how to overcome it)
  • Why learning to believe in yourself is the first step to brand building, and where you should begin

You'll also hear about the pivotal moment that helped Casey transform her career and build a personal brand she loves and how you can too.

Casey’s story is inspiring and uplifting, and by the time you finish this episode, you'll catch a clearer glimpse of how YOU can start creating a brand you love when you learn how to get out of your own way, too.

When I got the diagnosis, I realized the real price I’d paid for my success: it cost me my health, my relationships, and so many of the things in life that mattered to me.

That’s when I decided to make a massive change and figure out how to break the cycle of burnout for good and adopt a positive attitude.

  • Why this unimaginable challenge was not the end of my story, but the beginning of a new one
  • How beating cancer led me to rediscover gifts and talents I’d buried — and how you can too
  • How losing control gave me more freedom than I could have ever expected, and how you can claim the same kind of freedom for your life, too

It’s my hope that in sharing these personal lessons with you, that you can learn from my mistakes and finally experience the joy, freedom, and fulfillment in life you’re seeking to cultivate positive thinking.

Being more disciplined doesn’t help you understand why motivation disappears in the first place, and once you know how to overcome a lack of motivation at work or in any area of your life, it’ll never be a hindrance to you hitting your goals again.

  • The surprising cause of lack of motivation at work, and the secret truth about motivation that even smart entrepreneurs don’t understand, so you can stay on your game no matter what challenges come your way.

Learning how to ask for help was one of them.

If you know you need help when it comes to growing your business but aren’t sure how to get it, then listen closely to this episode because I’m going to show you how to get the support you need.

The faster you can hone the skill of recognizing when you need help, then learning how to ask for help, the faster you’ll grow — plain and simple.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO TODAY’S EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

  • The staggering cost of NOT asking for help (and why it’s not quicker or cheaper for you to do it yourself) 
  • Why learning how to ask for help is a sign of strength, not weakness 
  • The surprising mindset shift that will dramatically improve your productivity and help you get the support you need
  • My favorite outsourcing tools you can steal right now (especially if you have a limited budget)

PLUS I’ll let you in on one neat psychology trick that makes asking for help easier and (almost always) guarantees you an emphatic “yes!”

If you jumped straight to this episode without listening to the one before this, I highly recommend you go back and listen to Episode 13 first, because that’s where we laid the foundation for what we’re diving into today on recovering from trauma.

In order to find a new normal with any curveball life throws your way, it’s important to first understand what trauma is and what happens on an emotional level when you experience trauma (which is what we did in the previous episode), and what needs to happen next so you can find your new normal and feel safe and secure once again (which is what we’ll dive into today).

WHEN YOU FINISH LISTENING TO TODAY’S EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

  • How our innate need for survival can either help or hurt you in finding a new normal
  • The action steps you can take right now to heal from trauma and better prepare yourself for any period of life’s uncertainty 
  • The underrated silver lining to recovering from trauma 
  • How to strengthen your resilience through uncertain and difficult times

Now is the time to equip yourself with the tools you need to handle any crisis that comes your way, without falling victim to the stress, and fear that so many others choose to let overwhelm them. 

You might even walk away from this episode with a new normal that was even better than the normal you knew before.

Life as we know it has been flipped on its head. If you’re like most, you’re ready for things to get back to normal and to heal from trauma this pandemic has caused.

While it stirs up a lot of negative emotions like fear, anxiety, stress, overwhelm, desperation, frustration, even anger… it is possible to feel happy, deal with uncertainty, and heal from trauma in spite of it all, and inside of today’s episode, I’m going to show you how.

In order to find your new normal, both in this situation and with any curveball life throws your way, it’s important to first understand:

  • what trauma is
  • what happens on an emotional level when you experience trauma, and 
  • what needs to happen next so that you can feel safe and secure once again, deal with uncertainty and ultimately heal from trauma

There’s a lot to unpack here, which is why this special episode is broken out into two parts: first, to lay the foundation on how to deal with uncertainty; then, to identify the next best action steps to take to heal from trauma so you can feel happy once again. 

What I won’t give you is a checklist of things to feel happy, like get 8 hours of sleep and take your vitamins and get fresh air like all the experts out there on the news are touting, because giving you more things to do, (especially with no real reason for doing them), doesn’t help you long-term. And I’m here to help.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO TODAY’S EPISODE, YOU’LL KNOW 

  • WHERE trauma really comes from
  • WHY your perception of trauma makes a big difference in how you’re able to show up in the world and to perform to the best of your ability in life
  • The difference between  “big T trauma” and “little t trauma”
  • The reason why it’s so important to learn how to deal with uncertainty, and work through and heal from trauma
  • Concrete ways to deal with uncertainty that you can use right now to feel happy, safe, and secure once again and heal from trauma

Fair warning: this episode it’s not for the faint of heart. It’s definitely not for those who aren’t willing to take a deeper look at what’s really going on under the surface on how to deal with uncertainty and heal from trauma.

If you’re serious about learning how to take charge of your emotional and psychological wellbeing and heal from trauma so you can find your new normal, then pop in those earbuds and let’s dive in! Then, make sure you join me back next week when we dive into Part 2 of this episode series, where I’ll show you how to find your new normal so you can feel happy and find your rhythm once again.

That’s because all the small business growth strategies in the world won’t fix a broken mindset.

When Christina first came to me, she was struggling to grow her business like she wanted to, despite working at her max and applying all of the small business growth strategies her industry leaders told her to do.

I remember Christina telling me, “It felt like there was a huge gap between where I was, and where I wanted to be. I started wondering, is this all there is to life?” 

Inside today’s exclusive episode you’ll hear how Christina’s life transformed when she started applying the Visionary Leader Formula™ to her business, and how it resulted in faster progress and higher profits than she’d ever experienced from all of the other programs and conferences she’d previously invested in, combined. She shares ultimately her secrets to scaling a business quickly and efficiently.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER HOW SHE...

  • Went from making virtually $0 in sales to grossing $3 MILLION+ in revenue in a single month while scaling a business 
  • Became recognized as the top two salesperson in her region and named Sales Manager of her own branch
  • Learned how to identify and let go of the underlying limiting beliefs holding her back, while scaling a business
  • Opened the door to incredible new opportunities she would never have experienced otherwise
  • Has successfully streamlined her operations and kept her business on this trajectory for 2+ years since

For some, the fear of failing can feel so overwhelming at times that it paralyzes them and becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, crushing their chances of success.

For others, the fear of failing is a little thing that they’ve learned to live with, and learn from, which no longer holds them back (even though at times it may still try to creep in and undermine their progress).

Yet imagine what would become possible for you if you knew how to use it to your advantage, like fuel to propel you to the next level in your life and business. (That’d be pretty freakin’ awesome, wouldn’t it?) Your fear of failing would simply dissipate.

Inside today’s episode, I’m going to give you the tools you need to identify what fears are holding you back, where they come from, and how to shift your perspective so you can navigate through them and overcome the fear of failing for good.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN: 

  • The key distinction between real and imagined fear (and why your brain interprets them the same way)
  • How to tune into your unique emotional response to fear, so you can get to the root of what’s causing it
  • The 4 easy steps to uncover and dismantle any fears you’re experiencing
  • How to shift your perspective, overcome that fear of failing, and learn how to use it to your advantage

Assuming your fears will never disappear, how long will you wait to move forward? What’s the key to learning from failure?

We all feel fear. The real question is, will you allow it to stop you, or allow it to fuel you forward?

How will you overcome the fear of failure?

Did you know the words you speak don’t only describe the world around you? They CREATE the world around you, which is why today, I’m going to reveal three words you need to stop saying right now to help you get into that right entrepreneurial mindset.

If you want to have a bigger influence, reach the next level in your life and business, develop the mindset of an entrepreneur, this episode is for you.

The words you think; the words you say — can prevent you from developing a positive entrepreneurial mindset. Whatever you speak or think, you attune our focus to. This slowly develops a pattern of thinking over time. Eventually, that pattern of thinking forms a HABIT. And before you know it, that habit shows up in your life without you even realizing it.

Why? Because the habit feels COMFORTABLE.

And you know what they say about comfort zones and change. Comfort zones are the enemy of developing the mindset of an entrepreneur.

The tricky part is, most of us aren’t aware of how we build our comfort zones around us, because we never realize how deeply powerful our words really are.

It’s YOUR responsibility to write a different story. And I’ve designed today’s episode to help you gain new awareness so that you can make sure the story you’re writing is the story you want to be living.

Start paying attention to your words. They can keep you stuck, or propel you forward in business. They can make your life feel heavy, or they can make your life feel light. They can discourage you, or they can encourage you.

What words are YOU going to speak life into today?

And more importantly, what words are YOU going to speak into YOUR LIFE? What words will you use to develop an entrepreneurial mindset?

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO TODAY'S EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:

  • WHAT it means to create your reality, using your words
  • WHY the words you speak have the power to either help you reach your goals, or keep you from achieving them
  • TWO simple steps that will help you tune into the words you speak so you can expand the outer limits of your comfort zone 
  • PLUS: Three words to stop using right now so you can develop an entrepreneurial mindset
