I think it’s important to keep an open mind and look in some unconventional places for business insights and inspiration at times — and right now there is no better place to look than at Taylor Swift.

| Biggest Pricing & Packaging Mistakes | 19 Oct 2023 | 00:28:18 | |
Does your revenue match the transformation that you offer your clients? Or are you inadvertently holding yourself back from reaching your biggest financial goals? So many service-based entrepreneurs are missing out on hitting their full income potential, because they don't understand how to package and price their offers in a way that a) demonstrates their true value, b) earns them every last cent that they deserve, and c) doesn’t pack their schedule with low-paying clients.
There are many factors that may be preventing you from packaging and pricing your services effectively. You may struggle with imposter syndrome and self worth. You may be pricing from a place of desperation or scarcity. You may be “sweetening the deal” FAR too much in order to get that Yes… or you may be overlooking the special ingredient that would have your dream clients vying to pay a premium for your time!
In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I share my most powerful tips for structuring packages that won’t leave you feeling overworked or undervalued, and reveal the most common mistakes that I’ve seen entrepreneurs make (over and over again!) for the better part of the last decade.
If you’ve been struggling with selling your services in a way that feels fair, aligned, AND profitable, then grab your notebook and press play!
In this episode, you’ll discover: · The 5 key mistakes that entrepreneurs make when packaging and pricing their services · Why you need to ditch your hourly pricing model – and a powerful reframing technique that will simplify your package creation · The sales psychology insight that will help you find your pricing sweet spot (and avoid winding up as the ‘dollar store’ of your niche!)
Timestamps: 00:33 Intro 01:14 Piecemeal & hourly rates 03:29 Reframing as a transformation 05:54 Including too much or too little 09:26 Sales psychology & value matching 14:46 Your packages will evolve 19:40 Provide payment options 24:33 Conclusion

Now, he’s doing the work that lights him up — and helping others live better, healthier lives!

During this call, Courtney Martin, founder of the amazing mamapreneur-focused Quadrant Bookkeeping, asked me: “If you were to look back on your first year of business, what would you do (or what would you do differently) now that you’ve had all this experience?” That’s a GREAT question! Over the last decade of my entrepreneurial journey (including the six years since quitting my day job), I’ve learned a lot… and much of what I’ve learned could have helped me to build my business far more quickly, joyfully, and easefully during those early years. This is why I love coaching — I love sharing my hard-won knowledge in order to help other women entrepreneurs avoid common pitfalls, understand their best next steps, access the resources they need, and make the powerful mindset shifts that will allow them to grow and scale their businesses with more confidence! In this episode, I share the top five things that I would DEFINITELY do differently if I were able to redo the first few years of building my business, knowing what I know now. Whether you’re in your first year of business or your fifth, you’ll find some valuable golden nuggets in this episode! In this episode, you’ll discover:

| Finding the Right Support with Chris McMartin | 21 Sep 2023 | 00:35:39 | |
One of the most challenging parts of entrepreneurship is the feeling of isolation. As entrepreneurs (and especially as women and mompreneurs!), we may often feel as though no one understands us. While well-meaning loved ones may be on the sidelines cheering us on, we can still feel alone in our day-to-day decision-making. Having a community and network that really gets where you’re coming from, what you’re struggling with, and how to support you is absolutely priceless! My guest for this episode of is Chris McMartin, the National Small Business Lead for The Scotiabank Women Initiative®.

In this conversation, Chris and I take a DEEP dive into the different types of support that can smooth the path of entrepreneurship and help you confidently grow as a leader. We chat about mentorship, money, and MamaCon — you won’t want to miss it! In this episode, you’ll discover:

| Top Social Media Trends | 14 Sep 2023 | 00:28:21 | |
It’s really easy to spend time scrolling Instagram or Facebook, watching Reels or TikToks, and reading captions. It can be a lot harder to create content — and even more challenging to create content that truly connects with your dream clients!

| Levelling-Up your Mind & Business with Jaime Gennaro | 07 Sep 2023 | 00:46:39 | |
Sometimes the business that you’ve built is no longer the business that you want to run — and in order to regain your passion, drive, and joy, you may need to make some changes. This could look like updating your ideal client avatar, retooling your offers, or shifting to an entirely new business model… or it might just mean recognizing the ways in which you’re already closer to your dream business than you may think! My amazing guest Jaime Gennaro is a business coach and consultant who is on a mission to take the pain away from entrepreneurship and business ownership! Jaime teaches her clients the tactics that help them connect to their own unique way of running their business and lead their teams with joy, rather than just following the crowd and relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. When I met Jaime, she was already running a VERY successful business, but she didn’t feel that it allowed her to truly work in her zone of genius, use her strongest skill set, or experience the thrill of a challenge. During this conversation, Jaime and I discuss her business transformation, how she shifted from playing small to thinking BIGGER, and the small changes she made that allowed her to not only serve her dream clients effectively, but to continue to stretch outside of her comfort zone and feel challenged and fulfilled! In this episode, you’ll discover:

| How to Choose the Right Business Coach | 31 Aug 2023 | 00:28:16 | |
Did you know that over 90% of all seven-figure business owners are working with coaches? As a matter of fact, you can count me among that number! Hiring a business coach can definitely help you take your business from start-up to scale-up with more ease, confidence, and joy, but it’s also a BIG investment — and I’m not just talking about money! Working with a business coach also requires a sizeable investment of your time and energy. When you’re working with the right coach at the right time, this can lead to incredible ROI that you will benefit from for years to come. On the other hand, when you’re working with a coach that isn’t a good fit for you or your business, you may not see those same amazing benefits as quickly. So, how do you choose the right coach? And how do you know when it’s time to get started? In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I reveal my top tips and tricks for growing your business more quickly with your best-fit business coach. Listen now to learn what to look for (and what you should avoid) when seeking out a business coach or enrolling in a program in order to get your best results! In this episode, you’ll discover:

| MM: Visualization Tips | 28 Aug 2023 | 00:10:17 | |
If you want to achieve your goals with more ease, then I highly recommend taking the same advice that you give your kids: use your imagination! A big part of how I’ve achieved many of my dreams, from building a 7-figure business to spending a summer in France with a family, is through visualization. Part of the amazing power of visualization is that your brain cannot tell the difference between a vividly imagined scenario and the real thing — it can’t differentiate between reality and your detailed mental “rehearsal.” When you are visualizing, you are essentially priming your brain to experience that specific event in the future. This is why so many top athletes, speakers, and executives swear by visualization as a preparation tool or a daily practice. In this Mindset Monday mini-episode, you’ll discover how to use visualization to achieve your own goals with more ease! Listen now to learn:

| MM: New Approach to Goals | 21 Aug 2023 | 00:10:29 | |
Over the years that I’ve spent coaching entrepreneurs, I’ve seen far too many fall into the trap of becoming obsessed with their goals. Becoming overly fixated on achieving one specific outcome makes it harder to maintain the flexibility that is needed to pivot or shift your goals when necessary. When this rigidity and singlemindedness leads you to try to force a particular result, chances are you will not even come close to the finish line — and this can discourage you from trying again in the future. What we need to do as a collective is shift the way that we approach our goals. In this Mindset Monday mini-episode, you’ll discover how to cultivate a healthier mindset around goal-setting — one that feels better each and every step of the way! Listen now to learn:

| Manifesting your Dreams with Rebecca Lane | 17 Aug 2023 | 00:56:44 | |
Can manifestation really help you build a life that you love? My guest for this episode of The Business of Thinking Big is Rebecca Lane, a violinist who has blended her love of music with her entrepreneurial spirit to create something incredible… and she credits manifestation with helping her reach her biggest goals! Rebecca is the founder of the Lane School of Music. As a musician, she entered the business world with a scarcity mindset, which she needed to shed in order to dream bigger. While she launched the school out of a spare room in her house, the school now offers lessons to over 700 students through its multiple locations! Rebecca now coaches other music school owners to shift from a ‘starving artist’ mindset to one of abundance. During our conversation, Rebecca and I explore the concept of manifestation: what it is (and isn’t!), how it actually works, and how it can work for YOU. The truth is that we are all always manifesting, whether we know it or not. The key? Manifesting with intention to create a joyful life and business! In this episode, you’ll discover:
Guest bio: Once a freelancing violinist, Rebecca has transformed her career to entrepreneur, coach, and 7-figure business owner.

| MM: Why You're Not Living Your Dreams | 14 Aug 2023 | 00:10:16 | |
“Living the dream.” That’s what we’re all working toward, but why does it seem to fall just out of reach for so many people? Why aren’t more of us living the dream right now? Now, if your version of living the dream is owning your own island, that’s one thing! But for most of us, living the dream shouldn’t be so elusive. Quite often, our dream lives can be attained through smaller shifts, rather than dramatic changes. Whether it’s travelling more, having more time to spend with your family, or enjoying a creative outlet, our dreams are often closer to reality than we might think. In this Mindset Monday mini-episode, you’ll discover three major reasons why so many women are not living their dreams right now — and how you can get off the hamster wheel and start building the life that you want and deserve!

| The Brand Experience | 10 Aug 2023 | 00:24:09 | |
We’ve all had the experience of walking into a store or buying a service online, and knowing almost immediately that it would be the first and only time. We’ve also had the experience of revisiting a shop or a website again and again (sometimes when we aren’t even looking to buy anything!). What sets these experiences apart? It’s the way that each particular business makes you feel. Brand experience goes FAR beyond just the delivery of a product or service. It includes your marketing, your communication, your positioning, your customer service, your aesthetic — even your physical store layout, if you’re a brick-and-mortar business. And when it comes to brand experience, small details can make a big impact! What does your business look like through the eyes of your customers? What is it like to engage with your brand — and how do you keep people coming back for more? In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I explore a case study of a business that offers a brand experience so fantastic that it actually had me revisiting their shop multiple times a week and spending money each time. Listen now to discover actionable tips that will help any type of business create an irresistible brand experience! In this episode, you’ll learn:

| MM: Money Mindset Hack | 07 Aug 2023 | 00:11:03 | |
Money mindset is something that comes up in my work with women entrepreneurs quite frequently — maybe more than any other topic relating to mindset! There are a few reasons why so many women struggle with their money mindset. Women often feel as though they’ve fallen into the business world by accident, and their lack of business background leaves them feeling unconfident and overwhelmed by the financial side of their business. Not only that, but as women we’re largely conditioned by society to believe that we are “frivolous” or “bad with money,” and these limiting beliefs can be deeply ingrained in us even before we reach our teen years! We also tend to struggle with pricing our offers, and can be held back by imposter syndrome or the fear of seeming “greedy.” In this Mindset Monday mini-episode, you’ll discover how to rehabilitate your money mindset, build a healthier and more productive relationship with your own professional ambition, and start earning what you are worth!

| Emotional Time Management with Heather Chauvin | 03 Aug 2023 | 00:33:09 | |
How often do you find yourself thinking “I’d really like to do XYZ for my business… but I just don’t have time”? So many of us are full of dreams and goals that would bring us more profit and fulfilment, but we just can’t seem to put these plans into motion. In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I sit down with Heather Chauvin, a woman with a deep and hard-won understanding of how to use the time you have to create the life of your dreams!

During this conversation, we dig into the deeper nuances of time management: how to stay energized with a full To Do list, why we are afraid of saying no to unwanted claims on our time (and how to fix this!), and how life-altering circumstances can dramatically shift the way that you prioritize your time. Along the way, Heather shares some truly inspirational and actionable golden nuggets — you won’t want to miss it! In this episode, you’ll discover:

| MM: Belief in Self | 31 Jul 2023 | 00:11:43 | |
Getting the life of your dreams very, very rarely comes down to luck alone! There is a lot of inner work that must be done in order to build the life and business of your dreams. Over the years, I’ve spent countless hours coaching people at different stages of success on how to set their goals, how to build their businesses, and how to shift their mindsets. One thing that has stood out to me is this: the people that seem to have the life and business of their dreams didn’t always have it all figured out! The big difference between these people and others who were still wishing and hoping is that they took the time to do the INNER work. Through this inner work, they were able to truly believe in their goals and dreams (well before it was even rational to do so!). They were able to truly believe in their own ability to bring them to fruition… and then they did exactly that! In this Mindset Monday mini-episode, you’ll discover how to shift your mindset regarding your biggest goals from “That feels impossible” to “I’ve got this!” Listen now to learn:

| Getting Featured on Podcasts with Christina Lenkowski | 27 Jul 2023 | 00:36:44 | |
Did you know that more Americans listen to podcasts every week than have Netflix accounts? Or that podcast audiences have grown by 30% in the past three years… and are continuing to grow? The appetite for podcasts is only getting bigger, and this is a major marketing opportunity for your business!

Over the course of running your business, you’ll get comfortable doing the things that you do well, the things that are easy, and the things that bring you joy. But during most weeks, there will likely be something on your To-Do List that you’d prefer to avoid. While these tasks may feel challenging or intimidating, they are frequently tasks that will really move the needle in your business. Often, these tasks wind up being put off for hours, days, or even weeks, when they SHOULD be prioritized!
When you’re “eating the frog,” you’re tackling these tasks head-on and knocking them off your list — and you’re doing them FIRST. In this Mindset Monday mini-episode, you’ll discover how to master the fine art of eating the frog and how this rare skill will benefit your business and your life! Listen now to learn:

| Living the Dream | 20 Jul 2023 | 00:31:50 | |
When you are your own boss, you get to set your own rules and do things differently. But would you say that you are living the dream? There are as many different versions of “the dream” as there are entrepreneurs. For some, it might mean spending part of the year working in another country (or on the beach!). For others, it could mean structuring your week so that you can spend more time with your family. And some might consider the dream to be shifting to a new business model altogether. Your version of the dream may not necessarily be easy, simple, neat, or convenient. It may require more time, more planning, more flexibility, or more buy-in from your team. But your dream is waiting to be claimed… and there is always a way to make it happen! In this episode, I share my own version of the dream and how I have made it a reality for myself and my family. Tune in to learn how I got clear on what my dream really was, what we did to make it happen, and what YOU can learn from my journey! In this episode, you’ll discover:

| MM: Further Than You Think | 17 Jul 2023 | 00:15:06 | |
One thing that I’ve noticed during my many years of coaching high-achieving, brilliant, and ambitious women is that we have a tendency to be VERY hard on ourselves. Having big goals and aspirations is wonderful, but we can wind up feeling disappointed and being overly critical of ourselves when things don’t go according to plan or happen on our desired or expected schedule. You’re not going to grow a successful, thriving, and joyful business when you’re focused on being hard on yourself! This is a long journey, not a quick sprint, and you need to show yourself grace and celebrate the wins that you’ve already achieved. In this Mindset Monday mini-episode, I share why you must remember that you are further ahead than you think you are — and how focusing on your success can help to multiply it! Listen now to learn:

Are you attracting the people, results, and revenue that you actually want and deserve in your business?

| Navigating Burnout with Natacha Pennycooke | 06 Jul 2023 | 00:49:20 | |
Have you found yourself feeling more tired, frustrated, apathetic, or stressed out over the last few months? If so, you’re in good company. Recently, many of my clients have been feeling unmotivated, overwhelmed, and disconnected from their businesses. In other words, they’re experiencing the first signs of burnout — and you may be, too. Burnout is much more than just periodically feeling overworked. It’s a serious psychological issue that can have a major impact on your health. Severe cases may require months of recovery (or even up to a year!). By recognizing the early signs and proactively making changes in your life, you can protect yourself and your business from its worst effects. In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I sit down with the amazing Natacha Pennycooke, a registered psychotherapist and the CEO of Natacha Pennycooke Psychotherapy, to talk about burnout: what it means, what it looks like, and what you can do to prevent it. During our conversation, we explore how the experience and causes of burnout have shifted over the years, why burnout is so prevalent in female entrepreneurs, and how we have dealt with our own bouts of burnout. This is a vitally important episode for all entrepreneurs, so you’ll want to be ready to take notes! In this episode, you’ll discover:
Guest bio: Not only is Natacha a mom, wife, and lover of popcorn, but she is also an award-winning psychotherapist, keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, and corporate consultant. She is the clinical director of Natacha Pennycooke Psychotherapy (NPP), where her team of expert psychotherapists are changing the face of therapy and mental health on a global scale.

| Thriving through Major Setbacks with Brenda Brix | 22 Jun 2023 | 00:34:19 | |
If entrepreneurs have learned anything during the last few years, it’s the importance of being able to adapt to new circumstances — but when EVERYTHING seems to be changing at once, you may need to tap into strength you didn’t know you had. In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I talk to Brenda Brix, an award-winning designer and the founder of AMR Interior Design in Edmonton. While still reeling from the pandemic’s effects on her business and finding herself in the difficult position of needing to let team members go, Brenda discovered a lump in her breast and had to endure the challenging process of treating her cancer. In order to keep her business going while honouring her own needs and the needs of her family and team, Brenda needed to take a step back… and figure out how she could work smarter, not harder. During this conversation, we dive deeply into her experience of receiving her cancer diagnosis, how she reframed her idea of what it means to be a CEO, and the benefits of having a second-in-command. In this episode, you’ll discover:

| Front-of-the-Class Mentality | 15 Jun 2023 | 00:20:27 | |
When you enter a classroom, yoga studio, or a seminar, where do you sit? Do you make a beeline for the front row, or tuck yourself away at the back of the room? Your answer to this question may reveal something about your relationship to risk! Front-of-the-class mentality means being comfortable with being seen. Back-of-the-class mentality, on the other hand, means protecting yourself from risk and judgment. Sitting in the back of the room gives you an easy way out and lets you avoid attracting too much attention. Often, we wind up in the back because we believe that we just aren’t READY to move forward. The difference between sitting in the back and sitting in the front can be like night and day, in terms of the quality of your experience and the benefits you may receive. We can start off with a back-of-the-class mentality and then shift to a front-of-the-class mentality as we grow more confident in our skills and knowledge. In your own business, there may be areas where you have a back-of-the-class mentality and consider yourself to be a beginner in need of a safe exit strategy. This can lead to you playing smaller and missing out on powerful opportunities for growth! By shifting into a front-of-the-class mindset, you open yourself up to learning new things, gaining new skills, making mistakes, and learning from them. In this episode, you’ll discover:

| Master your Messaging | 01 Jun 2023 | 00:24:36 | |
Is the energy that you’re putting out into the world attracting the clients that you truly want to work with? This episode of The Business of Thinking Big was inspired by conversations I’ve been having lately with women entrepreneurs who are struggling with their lead generation — either they’re not getting enough leads into their businesses, or they’re not getting that higher caliber of client that they’d love to be serving. Both of these issues can be traced back to one thing: their marketing efforts. Your marketing is a magnet. The right marketing will attract the RIGHT people to your business. The wrong marketing will repel them, and leave you with leads that are less than desirable... or even no leads at all! In order to be effective (and get the results that you crave!), your marketing needs to connect with the people who need EXACTLY what you offer, communicate your value, and get them excited to experience what it’s like to work with YOU! In this episode, I break down the biggest and most common mistakes that I see people make when putting their offer out into the world, and share my best tips for mastering your messaging and perfecting your positioning. In this episode, you’ll discover:

| Playing Bigger in your Business | 18 May 2023 | 00:23:08 | |
Once you’ve made it past the first year or two in your business, you may be feeling comfortable. You have loyal customers, you have steady revenue, and you’re confident that you’re delivering value and creating impact. But deep down, you may be feeling stuck, or stagnant, or wondering “what now?”. You may be starting to realize that you have a LOT more to offer. It’s probably time that you start playing a bigger game in your business — even if you don’t quite feel ready for it! Playing bigger means stepping outside of your comfort zone and making moves that can almost feel TOO big. It could look like starting a podcast, expanding into a new market, building out a new product line, revamping your offers, or changing your ideal client avatar. It can feel daunting, but making these bigger, scarier moves will help you see bigger returns, feel more aligned in your business, and make more of an impact for your customers and audience… and can even lead to unexpected opportunities further down the line. In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I dig into what it really means to play bigger in your business, why it’s so important to take the plunge, and what can happen when you fully embrace this concept and make those next-level moves!

| Doing the Hard Things | 11 May 2023 | 00:47:03 | |
As any business owner knows, the road to successful entrepreneurship isn’t always smooth or easy — it definitely comes with its share of speed bumps, potholes, and traffic jams! Often, we know what we need to do in order to grow, but resist taking our best next steps because we worry that it’s going to be hard. The problem with avoiding these difficult steps? When we back away from challenges, we cut ourselves off from the opportunity to learn, grow, and take ourselves and our businesses to the next level. In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I interview three amazing A-Players whose willingness to embrace doing the hard things has helped them to successfully build and grow three completely different businesses (while in the middle of a pandemic, no less!). In this honest, no-holds-barred discussion, we talk about the importance of trusting the process, setting realistic goals, and starting new life phases after experiencing hardship. Listen now to discover:

| Building a 6-Figure Empire with Fran Murray | 04 May 2023 | 00:51:39 | |
Over the last few years, Fran Murray has been on a powerful journey… and she isn’t slowing down! Fran is the CEO and founder of Fran Murray Co, a boutique gifting agency that helps mission-driven businesses nurture their key relationships while reducing the revenue gap that exists in the minority- and women-owned small business space. But before she launched Fran Murray Co, she turned her passion for baking into a brand called Chez Fran Desserts. While this first business saw real growth, Fran felt overwhelmed and unfulfilled, and she struggled with finding her identity as an entrepreneur. Through her experience in my A-Players Rapid Impact Business Coaching, she became open to new ways of generating revenue and scaling her business — and shifted into a business model that fits her like a glove! In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, Fran shares the incredible insights and innovative strategies that have helped her build a sustainable, six-figure gift basket empire that is strongly aligned with her values. You’ll discover: · The ‘A-ha!’ moment that helped Fran realize what WASN’T working in her business and discover her sweet spot · How she leveraged her existing customer relationships to grow her new brand (and generated over $30k within four weeks!) · Why Fran’s first strategic hire probably wasn’t what you would expect — and why it was the right choice for her business Guest bio: Fran Murray is a baker, queen of flavour, and Food Network competitor. She wields her bougie baking skills and 20+ years of experience to spread love and encouragement through her artistry and her new Boxed 'n Bougie line of Luxury Trifles. Fran's made-from-scratch gourmet cakes and treats have adorned many print and online media sources, including Huffington Post, Wedding Chicks, and Bride & Groom Magazine.

| Leadership Mindset with Rasholeen Nakra | 27 Apr 2023 | 00:35:13 | |
Working with a business coach can help established business owners uplevel their sales strategies, finetune their messaging, and better organize their offers, so that they can grow with more ease — but it can also help first-time business owners make the shift from corporate life to successful entrepreneurship.
My guest for this episode is Rasholeen Nakra, the Director of North York’s Angelic Treasures Christian Daycare, which provides children with a “learn through play” environment and the space and guidance to explore, create, learn, and grow.
Prior to shifting into the childcare field, Rasholeen worked as a consultant in the oil and gas industry. After realizing that there was a lack of high-quality childcare available in her area, she decided to fill that gap herself. She discovered the Angelic Treasures franchise, and her daycare now provides childcare and French learning services to 89 children of all faiths.
While she’s turned a struggling business into a success, the road wasn’t always smooth. As a first-time business owner, Rasholeen needed to learn entrepreneurship from A-Z —operations, team management, and more. In this episode, she shares the incredible insights that have helped her expand her business, why she has shifted her business goals, and how she developed her leadership role despite being a reluctant leader.
In this episode, you’ll discover: · How Rasholeen discovered her personal leadership style and cultivated a learning culture in her business · How she ensures that her team members have clarity when it comes to her vision · How she managed to grow her daycare during the pandemic period, when parents were increasingly working from home
Guest bio: Rasholeen is the Director of Angelic Treasures Christian Daycare, North York. She is a mompreneur who has the vision to create daycare learning centers where children will blossom and parents will rest easy, knowing that their child is in good hands.
