How to Make a Good Business Investment: 4 Lessons I Learned the Hard Way

“In one year, I will help you add $100K or more to your bottom line.” This was a lofty promise to make to 25 year-old me, who was just beginning her business, but Bill’s voice was like music to my ears and every one of my pain points. I decided right then and there that his program was a good business investment. By the time I was attending Bill’s business conference in late March 2015, I had already wracked up a good deal of credit card debt in order to make my business “look” and feel legitimate. Bringing in $100K over the next year would solve that problem and then...

My Business Fails in 2023 & What’s Working in 2024

Business, Human Design

For many business owners, it’s been a tough year. If you’ve experienced business fails from the shifting economy or the changing landscape within your industry, you are not alone. After receiving clear intuitive guidance that it was time to pivot the foundations of my business model in 2023, I created four different paid offers throughout the year. Of these four offers, two failed completely. Of the other two, one was a smashing success, resulting in five lives changed, one participant becoming a private coaching client, and me having a blast while stepping into the role of teacher. Despite these business fails, what has kept me grounded and attracting opportunities in...

What a Bad Surfer Taught Me About Hitting Home Runs

Travel, Business

I learned something new this week: Ryan is pretty bad at surfing. Most days around 5pm, we close our computers and head down to the beach. While Ryan typically surfs in the gray dawn of morning, on Tuesday, he decided to bring his board. Knowing how fond he is of the sport, I was excited to witness him catch a wave. I mean, he’s surfed in Portugal, Australia, and Peru; he had a business training professional athletes; and he was a YES to Sayulita for surfing! He must be good, right?! After picking out an empty spot on the sand, I unfolded my chair, sat down, and scanned the horizon for...

When You’re Not Getting What You Want…

Manifestation, Business, Travel

I thought relocating to Tulum would create exponential growth in my business. Turns out, I was wrong. The truth is: I’ve received “no” after “no” from potential clients since being here, and it’s been disheartening to say the least. It’s frustrating when you’re putting in the work and still not getting what you want. Last Thursday, I had the chance to be coached by one of my mentors and I brought this challenge to her. What I discovered was quite intriguing… When we explored what has been behind the “no’s” from potential clients, I realized that many of the people I’ve been in conversation with are not crystal clear on...

How to Get the Best Client Testimonials

Business

How many times have you asked for client testimonials, to which they excitedly replied—“of course!”—only for weeks to go by without a testimonial appearing in your inbox? This scenario has occurred for me more times than I can count, whether I’m asking for a client testimonial or I’ve been asked to write one for someone else. It’s not that our clients don’t want to share the magic of our work with the world, nor are they unappreciative of our product or service. It’s quite the opposite. Our product or service has had such an impact on their lives, that to capture the breadth and depth of that experience requires a bit...

Do You Have a Marketing Problem or an Avoidance Problem?

Business

If you’re a brand new or new-ish service-based business owner and you think you have a marketing problem, you most likely have an avoidance problem. Here’s why… For you, mastering marketing is alluring. The world of marketing makes you believe that if your marketing was on point, THEN you would have the epic, thriving business you dream of.

Is Willpower Helping You Create More of What You Don’t Want?

Business

When you want something, you want it.You’re persistent and determined. You’re in it for the long haul.You don’t give up or quit easily. Willpower is a blessing, right? It can be—when you’re using it as fuel to create more of what you want. Willpower is tricky because it keeps you in the game, but it can be difficult to see when you’re playing for the wrong team. Just like willpower is the magic that conjures up what you intend to create, it can also be a spell that holds you back. Maybe you’re pinning all of your hopes and dreams onto a specific outcome that’s not in the cards for...

The Profit First Method: Overcoming Feast or Famine in Your Business

Uncategorized

Money has always been a struggle for me.It’s likely something I’ll be mastering for the rest of my life. While I’ve increased my capacity to earn over the years [from my own hands, tears, and heart], hanging onto it has been a different beast entirely. It’s easy for me to experience feast or famine in my business—to create large sums, reinvest them, and deplete to the point of pain before replenishing again. In November, I had a powerful insight followed by an even more powerful question: 💭 How can I relate to money as a circle instead of a pendulum? A circle has no edges. It’s infinite. It travels around...
