In this episode, I’m sharing the existential angst I’m feeling as AI developments flood my feed and spark the sense that everything is about to change. I draw a parallel to the birth of the internet (though I believe AI’s impact will be even greater!) and break down how we can think of AI in three levels: using it, building with it, and teaching others to do the same. I explore why this technology is crucial for everyone—whether you’re a marketer, a therapist, or just someone curious about the f...

In this episode, I dive into the concept of “resistance” and how it shows up in my life—especially when it comes to writing my book. I share my journey from years of procrastination to discovering AI tools that help me outline my thoughts, and yet still finding myself avoiding the actual work. If you’ve ever struggled to move forward on a passion project or creative endeavor, I hope my real-life confessions and breakthroughs inspire you to push past your own resistance.

I got married this weekend... concluding 10 months of planning into one 7 hour event at our home in Guilford Connecticut. It's no secret that wedding planning is s huge to-do, though it's a lot like any event I suppose... just with a whole bunch of specific cultural and societal rituals baked in. Sitting on the porch this morning, I realized that I was not rushed. Such an odd sensation to feel since the legal and logistical details of getting married at this stage in life and business, coupled ...

I've had an estimated 100 meaningful conversations with business owners in the last month. The majority of these are my private clients, but I took trips to Providence and New York in September, and spent time with folks from other circles as well. I never ceased to be amazed by how much we think we're unique in our circumstances, when it's clear there are so many common patterns and headaches among us. Between ages, markets, niches, cities -- I can say this with reasonable certainty -- whatever...

Hey there! In this episode, I’m tackling a big topic that’s been popping up in my Voxer chats with tons of different business owners. As we wrap up August, it’s clear that this year has been a tough one financially for many. With the economy shifting and a typical summer slowdown, it’s no wonder things feel a bit unsettling right now. I’m noticing two major patterns: Pattern #1: Some folks are using the same old strategies—emails, launches, and so on—but their results are falling short. Pattern ...

July is the sloggiest month in business. And every year, despite knowing this fact, I start to panic. Things are slow. People are quiet. There isn't a lot of action. I feel tired and unmotivated. I'm not sure what my revenue is going to be this month. Why can't I get anything done even though the kids are at camp? Every single year, it is the same. But here is an important lesson I learned!

This is such a great combination of inspiration and tactics. I interviewed my longtime client Julia Taylor about her CRAZY last few months in her business GeekPack. Some highlights you don't want to miss.... • How she got nearly $500,000 in FREE money for her business • Her journey to a prestigious award in China and the opportunities it unlocked • The transformation from not wanting to even show her face in business to multi-seven figures in income & thousands impacted • The most important ...

Offer design is both an art and a science. When you try to read the crystal ball of buyer psychology, us marketers tend to throw everything at the wall to see what sticks. Today, I want to help you think more strategically about bonuses. There are 12 types of bonuses (loosely) divided into four categories. The best offers are the ones that make logical sense and tell a story. If you want a written version of this, consider joining my email list at https://emailsbyjulie.com!

In this episode, I am going into a brainstorm exercise around why people are struggling so much with money. And who better to start with? Then me.

In this episode (I'll admit it's a little deep) I go into a conversation around burn out... but more importantly, when the burnout turns to this scary feeling of "I just don't care anymore." What causes it... and what to do when you're in this season and running a business.

In this episode, I walk you through how I'm actively working with a client to define her unique selling proposition with her coaching. It's hard to see what you do as valuable or unique, but as you break down the process, you might find some clues hidden in the steps. I deconstruct a real life example here!

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a conversation with a client where she was trying to figure out why she couldn't do for herself... what she could easily do for others. This goes a little deeper than the cliché saying "You can't see your label from inside the jar". Why we so badly need objectivity in our business journey!

In this episode, I ponder a very thoughtful question brought to me by a lady who was applying for Digital Insiders. She was asking me questions about the group and when I joked about making a ten year anniversary plan, she stopped and said, "What has kept you going in such a high intensity program for so long?" Here is my 27 minute answer.

In this episode, I answer the common complaint I hear from service providers which is, "I feel like most of my business comes from word of mouth referrals but it feels so unpredictable. How do I make it more steady?" It's a short but hopefully super helpful piece of advice that will get you thinking differently about that type of marketing.

I found this fascinating question on Facebook today that said, "A CEO, COO, CMO, and CFO all go their separate ways to do their own thing. Who succeeds most and why?" And I decided to record an entire episode with my thoughts! I explain how I think each operates, which one or two are priority, and the power of thinking about all of them -- inside of you -- the powerhouse business owner.

In this episode, I do a business and life recap of 2023, plus the things I noticed along the way. If you've never done a year in review, I recommend it. I had a great year, but it was dotted with some pretty tough events. This is a mash up of business and life updates as I close out the year!

In this episode, I take you on a WILD ride with my client Kristin and her journey to 3000 students. She is a classic example of someone who took a long time to find her “thing”. She had a viral ad, a failed webinar, and all kinds of crazy obstacles along the way. But through it all, she’s built an incredible community and course and completely changed her financial trajectory with Bookkeeper Training School. It’s a do-not-miss episode!

In this episode, I take a deep dive into the things I'm learned as I approach $20M in sales. I did a Facebook post about this and it did really well, and I realized I have a lot to say on the matter, so I turned it into a podcast episode!

In this episode, I just recap the mastermind (from a logistics/schedule standpoint). What goes on in my head, how the event went, some things I changed and took away vs. added. If you do your own events or retreats, or are curious about them, you can hear how this whole week went from that angle and apply what I've learned to your own event.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes with a client Carrie, who was inadvertently complicating her offer for Black Friday. We all do this, and I have a few analogies that might help drive home how to tactically make sure you're giving your audience the strongest simplest version of an offer, which will increase conversions!

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a call I had with a client who is building something from scratch. How do you take all those ideas and get on a straight path? Hint: It doesn't really have to do with social media or getting an LLC. The path to becoming a business is gritty and takes about 6-12 weeks, but my method is focused on getting cash in hand. Take a listen and let me know what you think!

In this episode, I will take you behind the scenes of the Scalable Coach Method launch...just to show you how imperfect it was! You'll see it didn't have many of the similar trappings of a traditional launch, but TWO key things are the reason the offer did so well. I hope you get motivated to launch your offer after listening!

We all know we should be growing our email list, but did you know that there are four specific categories of list building offers? A discussion with a client one day about a failed launch led to a discussion about the method of list growth, and why it matters. In this episode I rank four different types of list building offers and the importance of having one of each type in your business.

It is by far the biggest error most business owners make. They don't know how to tie their business offers to real, urgent, painful problems. This episode will get you thinking differently about everything you put together in your offer suite. It's a do not miss. Plus, I'll give you a tangible example all the back at the beginning of my business that illustrates this point exactly.
