“If you want to be successful, why are you wasting time thinking about how much you don't want to fail?” It was a simple question that changed how I approached business and life. Fear of failure is very powerful, but what’s more powerful is fear of success. When I support my clients in their ability to achieve more in life, I ask them what's going through their mind that's preventing them from going after it, whether it’s talking to that attractive person, sending that email to a potential inves...
May 31, 2022•8 min•Ep 31•Transcript available on Metacast I gotta be honest with you. These last couple weeks have been TOUGH ones. It was a couple of those weeks that we all have from time to time as entrepreneurs. Even after 25 years. I ended up getting Covid a couple weeks ago and spending time quarantining to the bedroom for what seemed like an eternity. I had no energy to do any work and as I laid there all I could do was watch tv or think - which can be good and bad. I wasn’t stressed about not being able to work, but the more time that I wasn’t ...

May 10, 2022•32 min•Ep 28•Transcript available on Metacast When it comes to building your business, do any of these sound familiar - (maybe they all do)? “I’ve got to join as many Facebook groups related to my niche as I can.” “But wait, is my niche narrow enough? Maybe it’s too narrow. Or maybe it’s too broad? I don’t know!” “Ugh, I hate marketing. I just want to coach. But I know I have to, so I’ll hop on this Facebook Group, offer advice and see what happens.” “Shoot. That’s not working. Maybe I’ll post some things on Instagram. I’ve got this great i...
May 03, 2022•14 min•Ep 27•Transcript available on Metacast Have you ever been able to edit something before you've actually written a word? Have you ever tried being more clear, or more thorough in your explanation without ever saying anything? Or have you ever tried to make a system work without ever implementing a thing? I know what you’re thinking … duh, Jill. That’s not possible. Yet I see it all the time. It's the story we tell ourselves about researching, about thinking, about preparing. We think that with more research or more thinking we’l...
Apr 26, 2022•14 min•Ep 26•Transcript available on Metacast The time vs money debate is a hot one. As I was preparing for this episode, my head was spinning from the articles I was reading. One standing firm in that time is limited and you only have 24 hours in a day, so it’s more precious than money. Another standing firm that money is your most precious resource because it will buy you time and save you time on other things. Funny thing though … I agree with both. Let me tell you why ...

Apr 05, 2022•26 min•Ep 23•Transcript available on Metacast Have you watched the movie The Founder with Michael Keaton? It’s all about McDonald’s—the hundred billion dollar company that’s arguably responsible for systematizing the fast food industry. The McDonald’s franchise works in a way that anyone can go in and implement their exact proven system, and they’ll have a high chance of succeeding.

For you to be as successful as you want to be, there may need to be some things you’ll need to give up too. Let me share some of those things I needed to give up … T-18 Coaching Experience Triso...
Mar 15, 2022•11 min•Transcript available on Metacast I realize this is not the most sexy topic to talk about, but I think it really needs to be discussed. These last few weeks I have been thinking a lot about the online space and pressures new entrepreneurs and solo entrepreneurs can feel to earn big bucks really fast. Social media posts are screaming to let them show you how you can make $100k in your first month just like they did. I’m always curious what the backstory is around these posts. Anyway … These kinds of posts create pressures i...

Feb 15, 2022•33 min•Ep 16•Transcript available on Metacast You may have seen my social media post last week on 2-2-22 where I made my last post for my business and said good-bye to social media, but I wanted to talk about it on this podcast as well. I’m going to be transparent - like I always am - this was hard for me to do even though it wasn’t aligning with me. As you know, anytime you shift and do things differently, your ego shows up and starts making you question yourself. What if you can’t get clients outside of social media? … I know I can ...
Feb 08, 2022•12 min•Ep 15•Transcript available on Metacast I see a lot of coaches struggle with the idea of choosing a niche and narrowing it down. And I get it. It feels counterintuitive to focus on fewer community or audience members. Seth Godin has written several books on effective marketing, including the importance of narrowing your niche. I was reading an article he had written and I want to share an excerpt from that article: He says that the Minimum Viable Audience - a term he coined - is the smallest group that could possibly sustain you in yo...

Well stick with me and I’ll show you … When I first got into crocheting, it was really fun. I'd find a project I wanted to work on, buy the yarn for it, and get to it. Then, I started buying yarn without a plan of how to use it. I bought it because I liked the yarn. Before I knew it, I had beautiful yarn coming out my ears with no plan...

When I talk to potential clients, it's the #1 question I get. When I poll my audience, it's the #1 requested content topic. Heck, it was MY big burning question when I first started out, too... Where can I find an abundance of new leads who will show up on my calendar, ready to hire me? That's why I want to share my tried and true methods with you.

Jan 18, 2022•12 min•Ep 12•Transcript available on Metacast Ever feel like it's taking LONGER to get traction online than you thought it would? Maybe you're not getting clients consistently (maybe you’re not getting ANY clients) even though you seem to be using the same strategies as other entrepreneurs you see online who ARE getting clients… and it looks like it’s a walk in the park for them. Instead of constantly riding the struggle bus, what if you KNEW that once you said you were going to book two new clients this month, you just WOULD? And without h...

Jan 04, 2022•16 min•Ep 10•Transcript available on Metacast Ever try to work on a Saturday? My guess is it goes something like this... You wake up. You're excited because (normally) you don't get interrupted on Saturdays. No emails to answer. No phone calls. No messages from your team. No planned meetings. It's an awesome time to catch up or try to get ahead for the coming week (you can even hide from your family a bit). But... ...when you sit down to actually start working, you think, "I've got three whole hours to get this done! I've got plenty of time...

Dec 07, 2021•17 min•Ep 6•Transcript available on Metacast We all know that in order to be in business, we need clients and we need sales. But why does it become such an awkward thing? Let's normalize building real, old fashioned relationships first - let's prioritize getting to know our audience so we can better serve them. That's how you sell.

Nov 30, 2021•10 min•Ep 5•Transcript available on Metacast Listen to your gut! Have you ever gotten bad business advice or business advice that you wish you wouldn’t have followed? I realize hindsight is 20/20, but I should have followed my intuition (listened to my gut) when it didn’t feel aligned for me. But… I didn't and I’m embarrassed about some bad business advice that I followed early on in my career. Even as I speak it right now, it makes me cringe. When you listen to garbage advice, it sets you up to being someone you’re not. Links discu...
