  How to Uncomplicate Success: Fall Edition

  Aug 18, 202613 minS4

  This episode is for you if you feel like the real new year starts in September, and August is the moment to get ready for it (hello, teacher-friends ;)). For a lot of us, September through November is when we make the most progress all year. It's energizing, it's productive, and FLIES. And it means what you do (or don't do) in August actually matters. Today I'm sharing four simple things to do in the next few weeks so that when fall hits, you're already in motion: Three things you'll take away: --> Reconnect first. --> Sketch a fall plan and connect it to your offers. --> Before you add anything, take something off. Short, practical, and worth 12 minutes of your August. Ready for that? Listen on!

  How to Reset Your Business in Under an Hour

  Aug 4, 202614 min

  This episode is for you if August has you feeling like it might be time to look at your business with fresh eyes - annnnnd you don't want to blow everything up in the process. A reset isn't about destruction - nope, It's about straightening the piles, putting away the chaos, and getting clear on where you are before you decide where you're going. Today I'm walking you through exactly what I do for myself every August - a simple recalibration that takes about less than an hour and leaves you with a real plan for the second half of the year. Three things you'll take away: *Start with25+ successes before you touch anything else. Your brain will tell you there are only five. It's wrong. Sit with it, let it percolate, and for the love, do. not. skip. this. step - knowing what's working makes you far less tempted to tear everything down. *Data without context is just nonsense numbers. Revenue, client counts, list growth - they don't mean much on their own. Adding context is where the real story is, and it's almost always better than you think. The reset isn't just about what to do or even to stop doing - it's about how you want the next six months to feel. Do more of / do less of / do none of is the framework, but the feeling question is what makes your decisions actually stick. This one's practical, fast, and something you can do with a notebook and a half hour. Let's go!!

  The Alternative to Multitasking with Nadine Elsasser

  Jul 23, 202646 min

  This episode is for you if you're exhausted from all of the multitasking, you've done all the ways 'they' told you to do it different and you're still second-guessing yourself. My guest Nadine Elsasser spent 30+ years in corporate boardrooms in New York and London - and just as many years quietly in the world of intuition and deep inner work. Today she's a spiritual and transformational coach, and this conversation is a good one. Three (of the 92389) things you'll take away: Multitasking isn't a superpower — intuitive prioritization is, and they are not the same thing Your intellect and intuition aren't in competition — but one of them needs to be in charge first It's not "trust again" — it's trust deeper, and that changes everything about how hard it feels Ready for an amazing conversation and a deep breath?

  How to get Unstuck: 6 Three-Word Questions Every Business Owner Needs

  Jun 16, 202619 minS4

  This episode is for you if you ever feel stuck, off track, or like your brain is running the show - and not in a good way. The other day, a client told me that the questions with the fewest words are always the most powerful ones. So I sat down and wrote out the questions I ask clients over and over again... the ones that create real change, real movement, and real progress. Turns out, not a single one of them is longer than three words (who knew?!). Today I'm sharing all six: What's working? (The one I lead with every single time, and yes, there's a reason for that) Is it true? (The assumption-challenger your brain really doesn't want to hear) What's the evidence? (Because your emotional brain and your data are often telling very different stories) Does it matter? (The fastest way to cut your to-do list in half) Why not? (The question I should have tattooed on my forehead) Now what? (The one I'm asking a lot of clients right now as we head into the second half of the year) These are post-it note questions. They're simple on purpose. And at least one of them is exactly what you need right now.

  The Messy Middle vs. Actually Hard: How to Tell the Difference

  Jun 2, 202615 minS4

  This episode is for you if you've been telling yourself "business is just hard"... and wondering if that's actually true, or if maybe you're making it harder than it has to be (doh). There's a real difference between the natural messiness that comes with growth (and yes, success is messy; no that's not the problem!) and the kind of hard that happens when you're taking 30 steps when 3 would do. Today we're talking about how to tell which one you're in. I'm sharing four common ways business owners turn the messy middle into an uphill battle: The role your expectations are secretly playing The gap between your plan and your actions (and what's actually creating it) What connection — or the lack of it — is doing to your momentum The confidence disconnect that makes selling feel way harder than it needs to The question I keep coming back to - one I learned from a colleague at Encyclopedia Britannica, of all places - is: what's the problem you're actually trying to solve? Because when you can answer? Everything else gets a lot simpler. You don't need to berate yourself to success. You don't need to be shoving yourself uphill. But you do need someone willing to ask you the hard question - because trust me, we are ALL very good at ducking it.
