If you’re a regular listener to my podcast, you’ll know I don’t often have guests on the show. I batch like 12 episodes in a day and the logistics of having guests usually doesn’t work with that. But today I’ve got something special - a chat with my bestie, interior designer, and set designer, Naomi Findlay. Naomi and I have done a LOT of renovation projects together and partnered in a few businesses, so this is a juicy chat all about creativity, money, and friendship....

Does this sound familiar? Have you been constantly told to get over your fear to succeed in your business? But despite trying to bury your fear, you still feel anxious and uncertain, unable to move forward with confidence. I’ve been there too - stuck in that constant struggle between faith and fear, it can be painful and overwhelming. And how can we tell the difference? When should we listen to fears from our intuition, and when should we push through? On today's podcast, we're talking about how...

Pricing is such a pain point for many entrepreneurs, so I talk about it a lot. You'll also have to revisit it regularly during your business journey. A price that feels big and scarcy at the start may soon feel normal or too small. So it's essential to continue to review your pricing so it feels like a win-win and a good energetic match. So, if you've been avoiding looking at your prices or need help experimenting with your prices, then today's podcast is for you. I share the pros and cons of di...

If you haven't heard a single rumor about this, you're probably thinking, "Who do you think you are, Denise?" Or you may have heard that it's a goal of mine to retire soon, and you're curious. At a conference I was speaking at back in March, I mentioned that I'm on track to hit my goal of retiring by 45, and maybe it was an overshare, but I had a few people freak out. So, I wanted to record this Chill and Prosper episode to share more about what's happening for me and what I'm manifesting....

Every day, I get questions from entrepreneurs about how to stay positive, stay on top of my mindset, or what to do when the inevitable blocks pop up. I’ve spent the last two decades helping people with their mindset in business because I know how crucial it is to your success and well-being. Working on your mindset is one of the only things in business that you can’t outsource to anyone else, and in my opinion, it is the number one thing we have to master as entrepreneurs. When I talk about mind...

Back then when I first tried my hand at launching an online business, it was a whole different ball game. In 2009, social media was an infant, graphics creation was a nightmare and hosting your own videos? Forget about it unless you were ready to shell out some serious dough. I still remember the days when PowerPoint or Paint were my tool of choice for creating graphics and I continually tweaked HTML struggling to center things on my webpage. Fast forward to today, and things are wildly differen...

As an introvert, the thought of living out of suitcases, constantly on the move with my family was simply overwhelming. But, when Mark and I first starting talking about the idea of taking on some extended travel, there was a determination deep within me to turn this journey into something more than just an extended vacation. It was about breaking free from the daily grind, to create vivid memories that would last a lifetime. In a couple of weeks, my family and I will begin four months travel in...

I recently got home from an AMAZING trip to New York, and I was surprised by how many money lessons I picked up! This was an unusual trip because, at least initially, it wasn't work-related. It felt hard to let myself relax and do something purely for fun. As you may know, I love musicals and Broadway (and have invested in a few), so I went to NY for BroadwayCon. The Ruler in me did add two VIP days to pay for the trip, but it was honestly such a chilled, and inspiring trip. So the first lesson ...

If you’re stuck at a plateau or want to move to the next income level, it starts with exploring your unconscious beliefs about why you can’t earn more.

I’ve never met someone who doesn’t feel like a fraud or imposter, at least some of the time. Myself included. But the thing about imposter syndrome, especially in business, is that it feels so lonely. It feels real, and we often tell ourselves that no one else feels this way. So on today’s podcast, I’m sharing some times when I’ve felt like a fraud and my tips for overcoming imposter syndrome.

Having a business plan is one of those important prerequisites for starting a business that they teach in business school - Right? But do you really need one? What's the best way to do a business plan? Is there a Chill and Prosper way? As someone who was never really good at assignments, writing a business plan always felt like boring homework.

In my recent survey, our community told me that hiring was one of the top challenges you face in your businesses. Hiring is such a big pain point for many, and I know you've got a lot of questions about it - how to hire your first assistant, who to hire next, and who's on my team. Who to hire and when is a big decision, so in this podcast episode, I'm explaining how the Money Archetype framework can help you build the dream team you deserve.

I've got a juicy bonus podcast episode today all about how to use the Money Archetypes to understand and identify your ideal client. This is always a big pain point for people in all the business courses and coaching I've done.

How did you pick your business model? Why do you run your business the way you do? When you're driving along the road of entrepreneurship and making money, it can be hard to take your foot off the gas for just a second and ask, is this the right road? Too often, we're not even thinking about the destination; we just focus on getting to the next gas station. I've been there too. The current state of your products, services, and systems is probably a result of hundreds of decisions made on the fly...

After another disappointing launch, I was frustrated and confused. I realized my business course just wasn’t resonating as I had hoped and something had to change. So I decided to do something completely different. I had been a certified Sacred Money Archetypes® coach for years, but it wasn’t until last year that I finally applied the SMA framework to my own launch. I took a deep breath and threw my heart and soul into the launch, creating a campaign that spoke to the eight individual archetypes...

Growing up, I never imagined that there would be a day when I could make an income without putting in the usual one-to-one effort, like selling a product or service in person. Everything changed when I stumbled upon the concept of passive income in my early 20s. With the rise of the internet, I realized the traditional way of earning money was evolving. So I started by writing an ebook and selling it online but I felt uneasy about being paid for something I had already created. This is the bigge...

Last year, I joined the local country women’s association near my farm, and we had a country fair selling scones and cakes. They said, “Denise, you’re young and spry; you should be on the cash register.” And I thought… “No, I can’t; please don’t make me!”... I didn’t want to have to make change and add up numbers with people watching. So I heated up scones instead. Maths was really hard for me as a kid and still is. I use my calculator for everything and get the brain version of “tongue-tied” wh...

One of the questions I get asked all of the time is; “How did you build your following?

By showing up as myself consistently and with confidence, I’ve now got a global following of Lucky Bees, who I love.
