#173: Surviving the Burn: Strategies for Overcoming the Urge to Quit Your Business
Season 3 · Episode 173
vendredi 12 mai 2023 • Duration 13:19
In today's episode, we're going to talk about the elephant in the room - the desire to burn your business to the ground and walk away.
I want to start by asking you an honest question: have you ever thought about quitting your business? Have you ever felt overwhelmed, burnt out, or like you just want to give up? If you have, you're not alone. As entrepreneurs, we pour our heart and soul into our businesses, but sometimes things don't go as planned. Sometimes we feel like we're in over our heads, and like we just want to throw in the towel.
Now, I'm not going to pretend like I have it all figured out. I've had these feelings more than once in the past couple of years. But what I do know is that there are ways to cope with the emotional toll that running a business can take on us.
In this episode, we'll explore why these feelings are common among entrepreneurs and what you can do when you experience them. We'll talk about practical steps that you can take to keep your business going, even when you feel like burning it to the ground.
And perhaps most importantly, we'll talk about the importance of having a community of support around you as an entrepreneur. Having people who understand what you're going through, who can celebrate the good days with you and support you through the tough ones, can make all the difference.
So if you've ever felt like giving up on your business, or if you're struggling with overwhelm and burnout, this episode is for you. We'll dive into the tough conversations and explore how to bounce back from wanting to quit your business.
Let's jump into this conversation together!

Season 3 · Episode 172
mardi 9 mai 2023 • Duration 14:07
Today, we're going to talk about something that every entrepreneur has faced at some point in their career - sales objections.
The big ugly, “No thanks” that we all end up hearing, but don’t always know how to deal with it when we do.
We're going to break down the top five sales objections and how to handle them, so when you are faced with someone questioning if they want to buy from you or not, you can have a plan in place to turn their “ummmm" into a "heck, yes!”
There are plenty of reasons why your potential customers might say no to you, but these are the most common objections that customers use to reject a sales pitch.
What are they?
"It's too expensive"
"I don't have the time"
"I'm not interested"
"I need to think about it"
"I need to talk to my boss/partner/spouse"
These objections can be frustrating when you hear them, but they are don’t need to be the end of sale for you. With the right approach and the right language, you can handle these objections and turn them into sales.
Grab a pen, your notebook and tune into this episode so you can turn your objections into dollar signs!

#170: Embracing Vulnerability as a Woman in Business
Season 3 · Episode 170
vendredi 5 mai 2023 • Duration 14:02
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll have heard me talking about the rebranding process that I’m going through with my business.
I hired a branding expert whom I respect so much to lead this process and it’s been really exciting to walk through my dreams, visions and mission for my business.
But if I’m being honest, it’s also been really uncomfortable at times. It’s forced me to really have to look at my business and where I have gaps or misalignment in how I’m showing up for you.
And the biggest one that’s come up, is how I’m all business all the time, and I don’t pull the curtain back enough to show the other side of my life – the personal side…the more vulnerable side…and while my brain knows that I need to get better at this, man do I stink at it.
I have always struggled to blend vulnerability and business together and when I asked you how you felt about the topic, it was a resounding chorus of ME TOO!
So today, I wanted to have a discussion on embracing vulnerability as a woman in business, and take a look at why we struggle with this, and how to show up authentically while still maintaining our professionalism.
You'll hear...
>> How we can break down barriers and embracing vulnerability as women in business
>> My own journey working through unlearning perfectionism and how it's holding me back from showing up in my business
>> Powerful examples of successful female entrepreneurs who have embraced vulnerability and how it has helped them succeed
So let’s do this together…
