E45: Do You HAVE to Do Discovery Calls? Maybe Not if You Do This... 22:02

8M ago22:02

22:02

Ah, discovery calls. Some people love 'em... others loathe them. Some people never considered they could run a successful business without them, let alone leverage and "scale up." Allow me to share why and how my clients and I have made long, drawn-out sales calls pretty much obsolete. After all, discovery calls are actually an expense - of time, e…

E44: What if You Just Tried This? (Law of Assumption Goodness) 29:39

8M ago29:39

29:39

We’re living through a great shift in human consciousness. Though it can seem tumultuous, one of the greatest gifts it is giving us is an opportunity to see through the illusion. The illusion that we are anything other than the operant power in creating anything we want in our lives. This is a gift we can pass on to our clients, as well. But how do…

E43: How to Regulate Your Nervous System (& Why it Matters) 22:05

9M ago22:05

22:05

In recent years, nervous system regulation has become a hot topic both generally and in the entrepreneur space. Why?

Whether it's long standing trauma held in the body, an upsetting disappointment in yo…

10M ago25:12

25:12

Adding an ongoing recurring revenue offer to my business changed everything! It created cash flow stability, better client results, and allowed me to scale a lot easier. It gets you out of feeling like you need to launch constantly, and when priced appropriately, allows you to hit your revenue goals with less clients. These types of offers are typi…

E40: The Hourly Rate is Old School: 4 Biz Models to Scale (Beyond Just an Online Course) 30:33

11M ago30:33

30:33

You likely learned to do what you do 1 on 1. This is great early on, because you don’t need a list or a platform. BUT there is a long-term problem with 1:1, because you can only make so much before you run out of hours in the day. The hourly rate is actually old school. You can make more per hour doing less (same work, more $$$.) By scaling what yo…

Almost 2 years ago now, the pandemic was still dragging on and I was feeling lost in many ways.

24:22

There's a big difference between following up in an elegant way, and following up from a place of chasing and desperation. You can follow up with potential clients from an empowered place - without feeling like your bugging, poking or firehose-ing them with a ton of info... or that you need to get on a 60+ minute call and answer a ton of objections…

E36: Why I Stopped Studying the Law of Attraction 28:07

1y ago28:07

28:07

The Law of Attraction went mainstream with the movie the Secret over 15 years ago, and it's originally how I found out there was even such a thing as a "Law" that could help you create what you want. It was a good introduction to manifestation, but it also left many people disillusioned and declaring, "This stuff doesn't work." They feel that way b…

Maybe you've felt like this too. The truth is, you are here for something important and big in the world... and I believe you and I c…

E32: Getting Collabs Going Even With a Tiny Audience 17:47

1y ago17:47

17:47

Collaborations are one of THE fastest ways I built my business over the years, and continue to. It's about combining resources to create a win-win-win, and they're an amazing form of leverage. Like “two heads are better than one,” you’re getting double the brainpower, double the audience and exposure, and double the potential for profit. But - ther…

E30: Pricing As You Scale 25:07

1+ y ago25:07

25:07

When it comes to making leaps in pricing their programs and offers, it's not unusual for my clients to ask: "Can I REALLY charge that?!" The truth is, YOU set your price, and it can be pretty much anything you want. The real issue is around being able to stand in your confidence around what you charge, backing it up with clearly messaged results, a…

E29: How to Keep Yourself in the State of Receiving Money 24:10

1+ y ago24:10

24:10

The majority of your results come as a result of who you are BEING. If I had to put it into one word, it's the word state - your state of being. We all have a comfortable state where we dwell, and return to, over and over. Your dwelling place = what you receive in life, and where you dwell most often = your primary state. This of course is especial…

There is ONE strategy that jumped me to 6 figures in less than 12 months. VIP Days and virtual workshops. People ask a lot, "How do you make 5 figures a month in your business consistently? Like how does that even happen?" And: "How were you able to pick up and move from Jersey to Florida without skipping a beat? That takes resources, doesn't it?" …

5:31

I started my business in the beginning of 2009 at the height of the recession, and quickly realized that my lifelong preoccupation with the news was affecting me negatively.

E22: Boundaries. Or, “Well…I F-ed THAT Up Good…” 23:53

1+ y ago23:53

23:53

Boundaries define who we are. They establish “what is me” and “what isn’t me." We have a responsibility to create and enforce our own boundaries. (Frankly, it’s no one else’s job. Listen in to hear how I used to suck at this.) Boundaries keep the good in and the bad out. Think about when other people have violated you. Did you feel like crap? Did y…

As a lifelong journal-er, it only made sense to extend that shizz into my business when I became an entrepreneur.

When you're learning about marketing, you're typically following steps - do this first, then this second, etc. But when it comes to the other part of running a successful business - the mindset piece - it can often feel less structured.

Should you share the good, bad, and ugly in your business? A few years ago I saw a past client at a half day workshop I held in NYC.

How does self sabotage relate to business in addition to your life? That can be expressed in one sentence I first heard when I was a new entrepreneur: "Having your own business will bring up ALL your stuff." And it’s true. But it’s also a huge opportunity. We all have unconscious, unhealed parts in us that have been playing out in our life. But by …

Is it possible to share “social proof” and client successes in social media without sounding like you’re boasting? Maybe you've wanted to, but may have held back for fear of sounding like “that” kind of person. No one wants to be thought of as boastful, right? I look at it differently. People want to progress, to move forward, to enjoy increase. An…

We are constantly having inner conversations, regardless if we are fully present for them or we’re letting the conversation run wild intentionally. You create your life with your own inner conversations, because what you’re doing is suggesting to yourself what you’ll do, what you’ll think, what you’ll feel.

2y ago13:54

13:54

I first heard the word "seeding" as a new entrepreneur and didn’t totally get it at first, but I soon saw how important it is - especially when it comes to not coming off as smarmy when talking about yourself and your business.

15:56

The “state akin to sleep” (SATS) right before you go to sleep or upon waking up is an incredibly potent state. This is where your body is relaxed, but you still have control over your mind. The racing thoughts from your day subside and you’re in a blissful half awake, half asleep state. SATS impresses your subconscious at a time when it’s most rece…
