You have probably figured this out by now, but where we spend our time directly impacts our revenue. This is a lesson we all learn again and again. It’s one I really want to help you focus on so you can both run a business and have a life. So I thought I’d give you an inside look at what I spend my time on in a day. The activities I’m going to share are how I deliver on revenue generating activities, stay focused, and offer work of high value. Listen to a typical day for me here or on your favor...

I think it’s time we talk about...time. Our obsession with it, that is. Honestly, this conversation is long overdue, I get questions from members in The Bold Profit Academy and others often around this, so I think it’s time we finally talk about it. Here’s the thing: it is possible to spend your time well so you can run a business and have a life. I know because I am doing it. And the truth is, most of us (myself included here) have a massive problem with time. We’re exhausted, we are burnt out,...

This week I want to remind you that there is an inextricable link between loving yourself and your path to profitability. While these two things may seem like they don’t go together, I’m telling you, they are connected and central to your success as a leader. I have seen it personally and with my clients. When I look back at the multitude of business decisions I have made over my lifetime, the ones that have led to the most success, including financial freedom, have been where I have made a choi...

You may have heard me say this before, but there are two characteristics that are really important for women leaders: Resiliency Problem Solving You know that it’s always my goal to give a realistic perspective of what business ownership is like, so it’s important that I share that those are in my top two characteristics, because business ownership is full of challenges, it’s not all profit and roses, it requires resiliency and problem solving. Those characteristics are exactly what my podcast g...

I want to address with you a phenomenon I’m noticing inside The Bold Profit Academy as we start our Implementation cycle around Offer Creation. We are currently focusing on creating offers for clients that get results and get the expert paid, but I’m noticing that there is a belief that the more offers you have, the more money you will make. I want to call out right now that this is not necessarily true. Yes, it makes sense to have a well thought out and intentional offer stack that supports you...

I want to share an important message with you. Back when I was studying, I was an anxious high achiever. I remember meeting with my faculty advisor, Dr. Strausberg, walking him through my goals and timelines. He looked at me, and said: "Tara, you're the last person I'm worried about getting this done.” In that moment, the pressure was off. Dr. Strausberg trusted me to get my work done at a level that would meet expectations in a time frame that was appropriate. That’s what I want to share with y...

Do you ever feel like your mind is overwhelmed and won’t stop spinning? I can totally relate. I recently went into a complete spin-out around a few business-related occurrences. It was a little traumatic if I'm being honest. But I stretched myself out of my comfort zone, looked at my boundaries, and questioned myself. Because of that, I really thought about what I want and what I'm willing and unwilling to do to get what I want. I’m sharing my story with you to normalize experiences like that. L...

Have you heard of Learn, Show, Do, Reflect, Repeat? It’s a simple learning strategy we share on this week’s podcast. And then we apply that to Profit First and putting yourself first. On a very basic level, Profit First means you’re paying yourself first. You’re taking a small portion of revenue and setting it aside first, and when you do that you prime your brain to take care of your needs before anything else. The same is true when you put Energy and Mindset before your Strategic actions. You’...

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep for hours? That happened to me recently. I had a horrible night’s sleep and it got me wondering why… Did I go rogue and have an afternoon cup of coffee? Am I around my cycle? Nope. I realized I was rehashing something that had happened earlier in the day: a meeting with my CFO. My CFO acknowledged that I run one of the most financially efficient businesses he works with. BUT I chose to focus on areas I don’t see myself as...

Hey Bold Leader, I’m really loving the new energy of 2021. I’m excited to be starting a new year. In this week’s episode, I want to share five beliefs for you to release in 2021. Beliefs you don’t want to carry through the rest of the year. Beliefs such as your value being tied to time, and more equals more. And my personal favorite that I struggled with for quite a while: It's possible for them, but not for me. These are beliefs that limit your capacity for growth. This is really a conversation...

I know so many of you want to achieve big things, do your most fulfilling work, and make a significant financial contribution to your life and the world. You’re equal parts eager and frustrated that it’s not happening quick enough. If you want to speed things up, look no further than your fears. When you set yourself goals, it’s natural for fear to show up. In fact, if you set a goal and don’t feel fear, let that be a litmus test that perhaps you picked the wrong goal. But many people don’t real...

Yay, you’ve made it to day five of Journaling for Vision, Clarity, and Abundance. Congratulations. Day five is about bringing everything together with a final question. Who do you need to become to step into your vision? When I did this exercise and looked at who I needed to become, I realized I needed to change the way I onboarded my clients. And I needed more structure and organization. My journaling led me to take action. I can’t tell you how many times I hear from people that journaling feel...

I'm really excited to have my good friend, Tricia Brouk with us. I met Tricia probably, oh gosh, over two years ago at this point. Tricia is a speaking coach extraordinaire, and when I say she's a speaking coach, it kind of doesn't even do her full range of skillset justice. She's a director, a producer. She has a really vast range of expertise. And the way I've worked with Tricia, just so everybody knows, is I signed up for one of Tricia’s programs to help me overcome my fear of public speaking...
