Social Media Simplified

A common conversation I have with people is around how they feel like they're working all the time. They're working so hard, and it still doesn't feel like it's enough. It feels like they're not making enough money or they're not able to figure out how they can grow to the next level because they're already working so much. They're starting to resent their clients or resent their businesses or think maybe this wasn't the right thing for them to be doing in the first place. They get frustrated and tired, and just don't want to do it anymore. And so, we work together to figure out what it is that's going on, and what it is they should be prioritizing. We discuss why it feels like they're out of time, out of options and frustrated. I believe there are four things that are causing feelings of stress and overwork in so many business owners.

Productivity is a word many business owners throw around. Many people think productivity means just doing more, but it's not just doing more, it's about doing the right things.

My guest on the podcast today is productivity specialist, Amber De La Garza. Amber is a sought-after coach, trainer, speaker, writer, host of the Productivity Straight Talk podcast, and creator of the S.T.O.P. Leverage Formula.

Life Coach and Success Mentor, Bethany Perry works with heart-centered visionaries who want to live a fully self-expressed life. She supports her clients in their personal development in order to improve their professional success. Bethany joins me on the podcast to share five steps business owners can take that will lead them to success. This process helps top earners and leaders make decisions and be successful. What is success? One of the more tangible ways people measure success is by how much money they are making. But what about things like time, freedom, and having more energy and being happier? One of Bethany’s favourite analogies is that we can want more out of our life and out of our business and if you imagine more coming in the form of time, money, energy, happiness, imagine those things as water. If we're one cup and we want a gallon’s worth of abundance, we actually have to become a gallon container in order to be able to receive that. It’s about becoming a bigger container in our own lives s

Have you ever wanted to be a podcast guest, but don’t know where or how to get started? Angie Trueblood is a podcast visibility strategist, which means she and her team work with clients in a one-on-one capacity to help them land podcast interviews in front of relevant audiences so they can grow their businesses and achieve their goals. I asked Angie to join me on the podcast because many of my clients are getting to that space where they would like to be on podcasts, but they don't know where to start. They're not sure anybody would be interested in having them. And so, I thought this would be the perfect conversation to have.

We hear about sales funnels all the time.

She helps people craft strategies to bring cold leads in, nurture them, and turn them into customers.If you’re building a business of any kind then you need a sales funnel.

I was at an event a few years ago and somebody on stage said, everybody needs to write a book. At that time, I was in a place where my response was, “Ridiculous. Absolutely not. I do not need a book.” And now years later I think, you know what? Maybe I do want to write a book. I actually do have a lot to say and I think most people have a lot to say, but they have a hard time wrapping their head around whether or not they should actually write a book. And so, that's why I wanted to chat with Sarah Fox, writer, Book Coach and CEO of The Bookish Fox, an editorial agency. What you have to say matters Sarah knows that many people don’t believe they can write a book. Whether they have PhDs or didn’t complete their high school educations, everyone has that feeling of, “Who me?” It's the classic imposter syndrome where people think, “why is my book any different? It’s already been done. I'm not qualified for this. What do I have to say that will contribute?” And while things might have been said before, different

Season two of The Biz Podcast has come to a close. I enjoyed talking about beliefs that are holding business owners back from creating success and I hope listeners were able to recognize what is holding them back. It was 20 great episodes all about how we think we need to do things the right way or that we need permission to do things. We also talked about how our health can affect how we think about our business and our ability to create success in our business. Season Two was belief busting We also discussed how we don’t have to follow what we were taught to believe and that we can build a business and be true to our values, make a difference, and work less without sacrificing the money we earn. Listeners were also reminded that they have stories and have things in their lives and businesses that others can relate to. We all get caught up in what we think things should look like or what we feel we don’t have time for - and season two showed listeners how to break through those limiting beliefs. W

A belief many people have is that they must have a plan for everything in life. But sometimes life happens for itself, organically. Joining me on the podcast to discuss this belief is Angie Cole, creator of Untaming the Wild, a place for really gritty, creative, powerful women who want to create work that keeps them lit up and well-paid. Angie’s clients come to her because they are interested in changing something about their work life. Many people want to start or grow their businesses. Some folks are changing careers or changing their positions. And the thing people come to her asking for is a plan. “I need a plan. I need to make more money and I need you to tell me how to do this thing!” We believe everything has a blueprint and we must follow the steps, and then the thing is produced and for lots of us, that just doesn't work when it comes to creating a business we really love, that is part of who we are or something that we really love and care about.

Jennifer Lyall is an Intuitive Business Mentor and Chief Energy Optimizer. Jennifer helps ambitious female entrepreneurs with expanding their energy, intuition and productivity. Jennifer joins me on the podcast to discuss the belief that business owners don’t have the time to take care of themselves. When Jennifer started her business in 2008, she remembers asking her own coach how she could take two minutes to breathe and her coach told her to just take the time – just breathe! At that time, Jennifer felt like there was so much to do that she didn’t have any time to pause. Are you running on fumes? Many business owners are running on fumes from the moment they get up in the morning, especially if they’re a parent as well. Often business owners are trying to get through critical projects even though they’re completely depleted. They don’t realize that they should pause and take a break and re-energize so they can focus better later. Our society tells us to constantly hustle hard, but many of us are the
