076. MONDAY MINDSET: You don't have to like it to benefit from it

Hey hotties! Today we're exploring discipline and the fact we don't have to enjoy everything in our business (and also in our life). You know how amped I was about getting my treadmill?

075. How to make a million dollars without a team or ad spend

I'm breaking down how I hit $65k in a single month with zero ad spend and no team and how that's made me realise a million-dollar year is completely possible on my own terms. In this episode, I'm calling bullshit on the idea that you need to spend half your revenue in ads or having a team of 8. Instead, I'll walk you through my exact GOLS framework for growth with my business as an example. We start with goals, then evaluating your offerings critically (spoiler: your $7 ebook isn't going to get ...

074. MONDAY MINDSET: Traditional assets can tank, but your brain keeps banking

Hey hotties! Today we're diving into why having a business is literally the ultimate cheat code to life. I just had this wild conversation at work that made me realise that while everyone's waiting 10 years for their property to maybe make $60k, we can make that in a MONTH with our intellectual property!!!! Your expertise, your frameworks, your processes — that's an asset that's sitting in your head right now, and unlike traditional assets, there's no ceiling on how much you can scale it. Your b...

073. MONDAY MINDSET: I didn't ask for your creative direction on my life

I sat down to record this episode 5 different times but something felt off — like wearing a bra that's digging into your ribs or clothes with irritating seams. Then it hit me: I've been letting other people's opinions seep into my decisions and it's literally costing me money and my fuqing sanity.

071. Setbacks don't erase your past hard work

*knock knock!!!* It's me! I'm back, bitches!!! The main message for the poddy is on the concept that your previous business experience, connections, and groundwork don't vanish just because you take time away or face challenges. Every sales conversation, email sent, and relationship built remains as an asset working in your background. When people are consuming your content—whether through social media, podcasts, or newsletters—they're in your sales funnel, even if they haven't explicitly shown ...

In this episode, I'm joined with Michelle from Aussie Biz Chic. Starting during lockdown, Michelle went from sending her first box sent to 35 subscribers to now sending 1000+ a month.

069. Lessons from the worst launch ever.

I wrapped up a launch that didn’t pan out how I wanted. As you know, I’ve been going harddddd on events and I assumed that this would be our best.launch.ever. Unfortunately not. Sometimes business is like that. You’ll do something you’re convinced will work and it ends up not working how you wish. You’ll lose money or a lot of time and the ROI won’t be there. It sucks! But, the important thing from here is what you do next — you can wallow and draw it out… or you can just keep moving forward. Pe...

064. Do you really want a business?

I feel like I’m getting push back on things that are legitimate business… but people act like it’s this super unreasonable request. Not a lot leaves me speechless but I’m left speechless when I am meeting with founders who don’t want to do any of the business side of business. I think a lot of people love their job — so what people pay them for — but not necessarily anything else. You’ve picked a hard way to make a living if you don’t like anything about it. Allow this to be your reality check. ...
