This episode is kind of a confession that starts with a flashback. Years ago, I was futzing my way around trying to figure out meetings and scaling and strategy… all while trying to get so much stuff done. It was an exercise in proverbial wheel-spinning. And then? Well, that’s the insight I share in this episode. It was a key distinction that was SO simple yet SO eye-opening, I was stunned. Today, allow me to share this insight so you too can stop the wheel-spinning...and do more elegant things ...

Does this sound like you ever? On any given day, you could complete dozens of menial tasks, like cleaning the stove or loading the dishwasher. But sit your ass down to work on your website copy for 30 minutes? Oh, hell to the no. Some people call this procrastination. I do not. In today’s episode, I highlight what’s often missing for us Soul-Sourced™ entrepreneurs. (It’s really the hidden cause of procrastination!) So if you need a skip-in-your-step to get that important work done, then this one...

Ever wish someone would just step in and do your selling for you?... Like, write all the copy, do all the talking, and just convince people that you’re great already! Well, you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m speaking to two different ways we secretly sensitive entrepreneurs make bad choices when we react to non-data or false data about our business. We’ll take a direct look at the ways we sabotage ourselves when we’re rash and impulsive, and I’ll offer suggestions for how you can (and why you should) stop using “the feels” as “the facts.” For the first time on the show, I’m going to put you in the role of the coach so you can spot the little messy language mishaps that can turn ...

Tired of the struggle and the relentless need to “get” things and grab things? Well, I was too. That’s when I came up with my Word-of-the-Year ritual back in the early 2000s. I couldn’t set yet another resolution to never achieve. It felt like just another to do on my never-ending list. So without further ado, I’d like to introduce you to this method in hopes it helps you transform at a deeper level over the coming year. This whole Word-of-the-Year really took flight with my community back in 20...

In this episode, hear the truth of what the “fear of rejection” really is and how to move through it.

Do you ever feel like you’re on a hamster wheel … always running to keep things going, but never moving forward? This often comes from a lack of clarity. What just might be in order is a strategic day focused on things that really have the potential to grow your business for the long-haul. Let me show you how to use a business development day to get out of the CRAP (which is an acronym for the Cycle of Reactivity and Panic) so you can focus on things to grow your business for the long haul.

Do you love the inspiration-filled process of creating stuff but hate the marketing side? I’m here to help navigate the energy switch between creating something to help people and convincing them (and yourself) that it’s worth paying for. There’s a tendency among us Soul-Sourced™ types to hope our ideal clients will simply manifest instead of us proactively connecting with people we’re meant to serve. Part of it is our reluctance to switch from our receptive, creative phase into something that f...

Hate making decisions? Wish someone would just tell you what to do instead of having to make the decision? There’s a thin line between getting guidance and handing the reins over to others who don’t have access to your intuition of what’s best for you. Let’s look at how our egos deflect scary questions by asking others what we should do and claim our power to step into each day with clarity, authenticity, and ownership. When we ask someone to make decisions for us, we render ourselves powerless ...

Is there something you keep not doing? Something big you want to take on that you just haven’t been able to bring yourself to claim? Confession: I was scared to death to tell anyone I wanted to be a musician. And I did exactly what scared people do... I made excuses, told stories, and stayed stuck.

Before you take off sprinting in a completely different direction, let’s get curious and find out what else might be going on.

Ever ask yourself if you’re cut out for this entrepreneur thing? Well you’re not alone. In fact, I’ve asked myself the very same question. So many books out there about how to run a business … all the strategic, left brain stuff that rarely jibes with Soul-SourcedTM entrepreneurs who started with an idea, not a business plan. But, just because you’re not one of those kick-ass-and-take-names entrepreneurs, doesn’t mean you can’t be highly successful. And that’s what today’s episode is all about. ...

The number one entrepreneurial fear my clients have confessed to over the years is the fear of putting themselves out there (i.e., the fear of being seen, or being a fraud). To make matters worse they then move on to stuffing those feelings down, which won’t help at all.
