Hustle vs Busyness: How I Work Without the Grind28 Mar 202400:37:25

Ok real talk— I almost didn't hit publish on this episode. After I finished recording I had serious ā€œwait— I can’t publish that trainwreck of a rambleā€ thoughts.

But lately, I’ve been craving far more rambles and far less polish.

And if that’s you too— then hit play, because this one might just be what you need to hear.

Today we’re talking about hustle and why I will proudly continue to make it part of my life (why should we all should stop feeling guilty for working our tails off from time to time).Ā  It's all about working with intention, and finding a flow that fuels you instead of draining you.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

  • My relationship with the word ā€œhustleā€ and why I think it is necessary
  • How I got my business off the ground in the first two yearsĀ 
  • The key difference between hustling and being busy
  • Why being intentional is the new hustle
  • The importance of hitting pause in your businessĀ

Your Perception of Fluffy Content Is Sabotaging Sales10 Jan 202200:43:35

In an effort to be more concrete, more valuable and stand out from the ā€œfluffy crapā€ online, far too many struggling entrepreneurs focus on packing ā€œhow toā€ content into their marketing.Ā 

It makes sense, on the surface, we’re all tired of the fluffy training disguised as ā€œmindsetā€ work, so we set out to share tangible, practical information that can truly serve our ideal customers.

But I don’t have to tell you that a plethora of free, ā€œhow toā€ content already exists on the internet.Ā  So if your audience truly wanted that information, they’d have it by now.

So the question is: if ā€œhow toā€ content isn’t the answer, but neither is the fluffy stuff…how do you attract clients with your content?

The answer? INFLUENCE. You must gain their buy-in to your ideas aka your content. And in this episode I’m tackling 3 ways you can do so using elements from my Influence Framework. Enjoy.

Bonus Training: How to Get Eyes on Your Business in 202215 Dec 202101:03:28

As you pause and reflect this time of year (as many of us do), I bet showing up in a more magnetic way is one of those aspirational goals you've set for yourself.

And here’s the thing you need to know for next year:

Pitching and guest speaking will never be an urgent task on your list.

But they will continue to be one of the most effective ways to reach cold-to-you- audiences that warm quickly through the credibility the host gives you.

Getting seen isn't just about booking podcast interviews. It's about having a strategic plan to speak on the right platforms, to the right audience with the right message.Ā 

Let 2022 be the year you consistently show up and share your message to grow your audience and authority. Tune in to this bonus episode from my final live training of this year to learn my strategy for INTENTIONAL VISIBILITY to help you save time and get results right out of the gate in the new year.

Cara Chace: Creating Evergreen Traffic with Pinterest29 Nov 202100:52:06

I use Pinterest to save recipes, holiday decor ideas and design inspiration, so whenever I hear someone preach ā€œyou should be using Pinterest for businessā€, I roll my eyes thinking, ā€œwho searches for business content on that platformā€?Ā 

Turns out, a lot of people directly on the platform and indirectly through Google (which pulls straight from Pinterest).

If you’re looking to drive more traffic to your website, drop everything and listen to this conversation with Pinterest Pro, Cara Chace, who helped me understand Pinterest as an evergreen traffic source— versus the daily turn of social media.

Do these 4 Things to Finish The Year & Set Business Up for 2024 (no fancy planning required) 09 Nov 202300:49:54

Planning can be a brilliant tool, or a form of procrastination.

Visions of what *could* be.

And as we follow the plan, we quickly realize that the ideal map we’ve chosen to follow… looks quite a bit different than the reality we’re faced with.

It happens in our personal lives AND our businesses.

Each year, entrepreneurs take the internet biting walk calendars, post-it notes and colorful pens to dream, map and plan out their perfect year.

And if you’ve been a big planner in the past, yet still aren’t where you set out to be.

This is the episode for you.

The season looks quite a bit different for me with baby #3 coming WAY earlier than expected (irony here is I DEF didn’t plan for THIS)…

But if I were in your shoes (aka not birthing a tiny human), here’s exactly what I’d do to finish the year strong (not coast it through), to set myself up well for the new year.

Keeping Promises: Our Experience with the #75HARD Challenge28 Jun 202101:39:15

What the heck is 75 Hard? Why did 2 moms + business owners with already busy schedules commit to making their lives intentionally harder? And what happened when we followed the program for 75 intense days?

This episode is for those feeling the need for a kick in the pants. Maybe you’ve been in a rut or are just craving a level up with your habits, health, productivity or mental resilience. I recently sat down with my friend, Frannie Wilson, co-founder of Ampersand Studios to talk about our individual experiences completing the 75 Hard challenge.Ā 

Don’t worry, we’re not going to convince you to do the challenge yourself, unless you want to of course. Our hope is to inspire you to kick your excuses to the curb and start building trust with yourself in small ways that will have a bigger ripple effect than you can imagine.

DISCLAIMER: Frannie and I are NOT associated with the 75 Hard Program, Andy Frisella nor are we health, fitness or wellness coaches. Our conversation is simply our experience completing our interpretation of the program. You can learn more about it right here.

Putting yourself out there can feel HARD. And being completely real, BOLD and opinionated? It canĀ  be terrifying (what will people think?!). So while many say they WANT to stand out, they choose instead to blend in.Ā 

But not today’s guest.

In this episode, Jill opens up and shares her struggle of self-doubt, how she stays future focused and positive by changing her thoughts, and of course, we’ll talk about how Jill approaches speaking on a stage.

Cara Harvey: Productivity for Content Creators02 Jun 202100:46:15

You've most likely heard of the concept of batching (doing similar tasks together to free up time) and love the idea. But if you find it challenging to adopt the concept into your business, it might be because of the way that you work. For most content creators who come from corporate, teaching or other professions, what made them a "success" in those environments won't create the flexibility and freedom you seek as a business owner.

Enter my productivity obsessed guest today, Cara Harvey of A Purpose Driven Mom. In this episode we talk all things productivity for online entrepreneurs from making that mental shift in how we work, our take on hustle (which might surprise you), how to be intentional with your planning, content batching and overall time management to free you up for what matters most.
