Popping in for a quick update on all things OYFN. And because I am always extra, there are gifs to illustrate each item. Here we go!! God I love this GIF and I am 100% team Ross.

Held on Friday, August 19th from 8pm to 11pm central time, join me in your pajamas and get comfy as we do some late-night coaching, bonding, and movie watching!

Timec...

I got a little bit ranty about the W-2 this week, but not in the way you might think! We have a gross stigma around entrepreneurs having W-2 jobs or taking W-2 opportunities, but fail to recognize the positives of those situations and acknowledge that a W-2 is simply just another revenue stream. Being an entrepreneur is so much more than a job title, and your identity as an entrepreneur shouldn’t mean that you can never work a W-2 again.

This week, we talk about grief, but not the type that happens when someone dies. Growth grief is the cacophony of emotions experienced at the end of one chapter of your business. Whether you’re moving away from a partnership or embracing a new path in your entrepreneurial journey, our bodies and brains will process this change and grieve, no matter how often we claim we “don’t have time for it.” Even if the change is welcomed, space for grieving is necessary! Timecoded Guide: In this episode, I ...

I’m doing something a little different this week by bringing the concept of Hailey After Hours to the podcast. Less filtered, more direct, Hailey After Hours is a much more casual, vulnerable version of my podcast and of my coaching strategy. Because I’m able to tell it like it is with Hailey After Hours, I talk about the phrase, “I don’t have any money,” and how frustrating it is to hear when I know my clients mean something else when they say that. Timecoded Guide: In this episode, I cover… [0...

This week, I define the concept of visibility anxiety after having 3 separate clients bring up this feeling. While anxiety is often a normal part of our lives, visibility anxiety comes from a heightened awareness of new eyes on us in a new way, whether it’s quantity of eyes or the quality of someone’s view. From high profile interviews to probing questions from friends, avoiding the cyclone of visibility anxiety will help you live a successful entrepreneurial life without unnecessary stress and ...

Back in March, I experienced a zero dollar launch that taught me so much about my business, myself, and my newest offering, The Residency. After a successful Cohort One, I feared the negative result that ended up being the unfortunate reality for The Residency: Cohort Two.

Revenge Success is a drive to succeed fueled by spite. If we're completely honest with ourselves, we’ve all used this motivator from time to time— myself included. However, it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. In this episode, I define revenge success, explain when and why it might be helpful for you (and for me, too), and how to fuel the transition away from revenge success in order to better sustain your long-term entrepreneurial journey.
