Are You a Scammer?

The Think Piece Podcast ·

2021/09/16

Are you ripping people off?Many of the people I work with have a huge fear of being a scammer. Being a spiritual entrepreneur, it’s common to have a heightened awareness of ethics that can lead you to regularly questioning yourself, undervaluing yourself, and worrying that you’re taking advantage of people.You spend your time honing your skills, practicing on friends, perfecting your craft. Then you go out into the world and struggle to charge for your offers. You can’t possibly fathom that someone

You deserve to feel safe.Trauma awareness is at an all time high. Or, more accurately, the use of the word has become extremely common.

How I Became a Business Coach

The Think Piece Podcast ·

2021/08/26

You could go to school for two years for an MBA and still not be an entrepreneur. In fact, I might argue that an MBA doesn’t even prepare you to navigate the world of small business.So what does?Experience.I’ve been experiencing the business world since I got my first part-time job at 14. And every job and club and activity and interest I pursued since then made me the business coach I am today.But I didn’t want to become a business coach.After years of working in marketing, I actually tried to

Instagram is not a strategy.Every week we get questions about Instagram from frustrated IG users like you who aren’t seeing the results they want. This makes sense, because I’m hosting this coaching session on Instagram. But what if I told you that Instagram isn’t the problem? That the algorithms are not out to get you? That more followers doesn’t equal more sales?This week I’m here to tell you what the real problem is so you can realign your relationship with Instagram and get serious about

How to Change Your Mind

The Think Piece Podcast ·

2021/08/12

Can we normalize changing your mind about your business plan?One of the issues I see business owners struggling with all the time is the PRESSURE to make “the right” decision. I see this pressure on everything from structuring offers and pricing for scale, to how often you should post to Instagram. But what makes a decision “the right one?”The implication of this stress is that, as a business owner, any decision you make has to be final because you can never go back and change your mind. WHAT?Let’s

Why I Hate Patreon

The Think Piece Podcast ·

2021/08/05

Patreon sucks, y’all!Whoa, that’s a bold topic for an entire podcast episode! I know.It’s no secret that I have strong opinions, but I don’t bash lightly. What started as a bone to pick with this particular platform has turned into a hill that I’m ready to die on. Why? Because small business owners are not succeeding there, but the popularity of this platform has everyone believing it will be their ticket to success.Patreon has become super popular recently, so much that it seems like it has become

Operating With Your Values

The Think Piece Podcast ·

2021/07/29

Are you talking the talk or walking the walk when it comes to the values you preach in your business?The business owners I look up to and the entrepreneurs I coach tend to be the kind of people who started their own businesses because they weren’t satisfied with the status quo. Traditional 9-5 employment didn’t work for us! The final straw might have been our health, our family needs, or our passion, but these deciding factors usually link back to our core values as people. We want to live

Welcome back to Quick Coaching Tuesday! I’m back with y’all, after a two week break to get through my latest HBA launch. That’s right! I take breaks from my regularly scheduled programming to get through intensive periods in my business.

Active vs. Passive Sales

The Think Piece Podcast ·

2021/07/22

There is no such thing as passive income!I hate this promise that gets circulated around the internet. You’ve all seen the tacky ads that promise to make you hundreds of thousands of dollars each month if you JUST CLICK HERE, but this idea that there is a secret, effortless way to rake in money is pervasive. I have been approached by many people interested in my program, telling me that they are seeking “passive income”. Will my program teach them how to do that?No, not really. Because doing your

Money isn’t neutral!I don’t have to tell you that we humans really fucked up with this whole “relationship to resources” thing. If you listen to my podcast, you’re probably not that into capitalism. You probably have deep criticisms of the way money flows in our society and the way mainstream “big business” helps direct that flow.
