Imagine having a personal assistant who’s available 24/7, helping you generate marketing content, manage your schedule, and brainstorm new ideas—all without costing you a cent. That's what happened to Alex Beyers when she started using ChatGPT to run her business. At first, she approached it with caution, but before long, ChatGPT became her secret weapon for creating high-quality content at lightning speed.

If you’re like many business owners who’ve tried ChatGPT and thought, “This is garbage,” you’re not alone. But the key, as Alex explains, lies in how you use it.

Rather than treating ChatGPT like a robot that can magically solve all your problems, think of it as a new team member that needs training. It’s not just about getting it to create content, but about making it sound like your content. This is where most people get stuck—they skip the crucial step of training ChatGPT to understand their business, brand voice, and unique selling points. Think of it like hiring a new VA: if you don’t provide context, you’ll only get generic results.

To learn more about how Alex uses ChatGPT to streamline her business and to hear all the in-depth tips she shared, tune in to the full episode of The Business Edit podcast. This could be the spark you need to level up your marketing without adding more to your plate!

In this episode of The Business Edit Podcast, I’m diving into my birth story, navigating maternity leave as a business owner, and how things have shifted since bringing baby Hadley into the world. This is a personal, raw, and detailed episode where I share the highs, the struggles, and how it all ties back into running a business. If you're a mom or a mom-to-be, you'll definitely want to tune in, but heads up—there's some real talk about birth that might not be kid-friendly!

I know this episode may seem off-topic for a business podcast, but stick with me. The experience of becoming a mom has completely transformed how I approach my business. So if you're balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, or you're planning for a family and wondering how it will impact your business, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I also revisit how I prepared for maternity leave (spoiler: there are things I’d do differently next time!), how I managed to take eight weeks off while still keeping my business running, and the adjustments I’ve made now that I’m back to work. Whether you’re navigating maternity leave, thinking about starting a family, or just curious about balancing business and parenthood, you’ll walk away with practical tips and insights from my journey.

I also talk about the challenges of coming back to work, how I'm balancing my time between being a mom and business owner, and what my postpartum experience has taught me about work-life balance. Tune in to hear the lessons I’ve learned—and the mistakes I won’t make again—as I continue to build a life-first business after baby.

So if you’re ready to hear the real, unfiltered version of what it’s like to navigate maternity leave as a business owner, plus tips on how you can plan for your own maternity leave, this episode is for you. Tune in to The Business Edit Podcast and hear how it all ties back to productivity, planning, and making business work after baby.

Simple living is trending, and it's easy to see why. The idea of slowing down and living a simple life is dreamy. Pair that dream with the aesthetic homesteading, sourdough, and morning routine content on Instagram and we're all saying, "sign me up for that"! But if so many of us crave a slow and simple life, why aren't more of us making it happen?

When you think of simplifying your life, you might imagine living off grid, wearing floral maxi dresses, or becoming a "trad wife." But simplicity doesn’t have to look like a Pinterest-worthy kitchen or making all your food from scratch. It’s about two key principles:

  1. Systemizing What’s Most Important: This means setting up systems for your personal health, relationships, home, and business so it doesn’t feel hard or complicated to show up for your daily life.
  2. Living at a Human Pace: It’s about enjoying your daily life in the season you’re in, not rushing through it constantly waiting for the “next season.”

In this episode, I'm breaking down 4 must haves for simplifying your life, and how to make this hard, but worthwhile, lifestyle goal a reality. Press play for the challenge and encouragement you need to make small but mighty life shifts, slow down, and start living more simply.

Are you even aware of all the ways that you're living your life by default? There's this thing called the "default effect" that shows us that we're more likely to choose options that are given to us as the default choices. And it makes sense, right?! Decision fatigue is real and we make around 35,000 decisions each day. Who can blame us for wanting to not think about a decision and go with the default option every now and then?

But here's where default living becomes a problem... the decisions that are given to us as the default are not always aligned to the type of life or business that we want to build. And when we live too much of our lives by default, we start to feel the effects of living a bland life that doesn't light us up. In this episode, I'm sharing what it could look like for you to opt out of default living and live more intentionally, starting with three default decisions that I see many women opting into (and that are making them miserable). Press play to opt out, live differently, and gain the encouragement you need to make tough decisions that are more aligned to your ideal life.

As business owners, it's easy to fall into the endless learning cycle, where we're depending on someone else to give us the answer. But what if you could look internally to find the answers you're endlessly searching for?

In this episode, my good friend Rhannon Janke is sharing how truly knowing yourself as a business owner can help you find clarity and do less. Rhannon and I have been business friends for years, and we've leaned on each other to share our unique giftings and speak into each others' businesses. As a brand strategist, Rhannon is extremely gifted in helping business owners build brands that don't just look good, but feel good. In this episode, we cover a variety of topics including how to interpret and leverage your human design, what it takes to rebuild your brand after burnout, and how to create more potent, on-brand content for your business. Press play to get the pep talk you need to build the business you actually want to lead!

This week, I'm bringing you a special conversation with my friend Haley Thomas from the Passion Pursuit Podcast. You may remember Haley from episode 021, where she brought her expertise on building out a retreat offer to the podcast. Recently, I sat down with Haley to talk about ways that you can find clarity when you're spinning in indecision. If you find yourself overthinking things, spending too much time analyzing your choices, or just feeling stuck, this episode is for you. As a recovering perfectionist, and someone who loves data, I've learned the hard way that spinning in indecision is not productive. It's better to make the wrong decision quickly (and learn from it quickly) than to waste time trying to come up with the perfect solution. Press play to learn how to stop feeling stuck and start taking more courageous action in your business.

What comes to mind when you think of a 'weekly planning routine'? Do you envision someone sitting down in a quiet space for an hour, thoughtfully detailing a minute by minute plan for their entire week? Don't get me wrong, I love a good extended planning session, but week to week, that's just not realistic for most women. And the good news is you can become a really effective planner, even if you only have 5 minutes in between meetings, naps, or errands.

When you enter your week with a clear plan in place, you eliminate a lot of unnecessary stress, set yourself up to focus on what actually matters in your business, and put yourself back in the drivers seat of your life. In this episode, I'm going to walk you step-by-step through my weekly planning routine, and what it actually takes to be able to plan a productive week in 5 minutes or less!

If you're struggling to make consistent progress on your business goals, you may be overdue for a CEO Day. A CEO Day is a monthly day set aside for you to reflect on what’s happening in your business and make intentional, strategic decisions about how to move forward. I almost think of this like a self-care practice for business owners, because when you're able to set aside time to plan out each month intentionally, you can enter each week knowing exactly what to focus on to grow your business. It makes pursuing big goals as a business owner more straightforward, less stressful, and more fun! Every business is different, which means every CEO Day will look different too.

Brooke Happe is a mom of three who stepped away from her career as a Doctor of Physical Therapy to follow her heart to stay home with her kids. She taught herself to crochet to keep her hands strong, fully expecting to return to therapy once the kids grew older. Other moms asked where to buy her beanie from and her business, b.e.happe, was born. In 2019, the Happe family sold everything to travel the U.S. After 5 years of full time travel and running the business from the road, they purchased a home base in Texas to use between their travels and focus on intentional living.

In this episode, Brooke shares what it really takes to live an intentional life, and the joys and hardships her family has experienced over 5 years living on the road. If you're considering making a change or feeling a call to do things differently, I hope this episode gives you the encouragement you need to build a life you love, take risks, and live on purpose.

If you've ever delegated a task to your partner, kids, or an employee, you'll know how magical it feels when work gets done without you having to show up or lift a finger. It can be addicting! Automating tasks in your business can give you that same magical feeling - almost like you've found a cheat code for life. And there are so many tasks that you can (and should) automate in your business. The less time you spend on busy work, the more time you have to invest in the projects and tasks that actually deserve your attention. So today, I'm sharing a few of my favorite automations that save me time every single week to hopefully open your eyes to some new automations you can create in your own business.

So many women in business spend their days and weeks wondering, “What should I be focussed on?” or finding themselves torn between life and business and clients and marketing and taking care of themselves and taking care of kids and, and, and… This is such an overwhelming way to live, and I would even argue that it’s not the way we are meant to live.

We are meant to LIVE our lives not simply MANAGE our lives. But it’s really hard to find time to actually live your life if you don’t have a system for managing the minutia of day-to-day life that will inevitably get in your way. So today, I want to share with you my 4P to-do list method. This is an extremely simple method I’ve been using and refining over the past 3+ years to organize my to-do list and my time around my priorities – each quarter, month, week, and day.

So much of running a business is showing up for mundane tasks that aren't exciting. Results don't come instantly they come with consistency. And it's easy to get work done when we're motivated to do it, but we can't always rely on that motivation to be there. We're going to have off days, low energy days, and distracted days. So how can we, as business owners who need to show up and get things done in order to grow our business, consistently show up for our business and get things done without falling into the pitfall of procrastination? And procrastination is something that we ALL struggle with on one form or another. And in order to overcome your unique procrastination habits, you first have to understand why you're procrastinating. In this episode, we're going to talk about the six reasons why we procrastinate, and how to overcome each unique form of procrastination.

Recently, I was reading a book about how to create a business that runs itself, and the author challenged his readers to create a business that would let them take a 12 week sabbatical. In my mind, a "12 week sabbatical" is basically man speak for "maternity leave"! As a service provider, it can be so hard to imagine being able to take 12 weeks off while returning to a business that isn't burning to the ground, but I want you to know that it's entirely possible with some planning and preparation. Whether you're dreaming of a 12 week maternity leave or simply being able to take time off without worrying about your business, I hope this episode gives you tangible tips and resources for building your business around your dream schedule.

I met today's guest about two years ago when I was speaking at a local women's entrepreneurship event. She was on a panel discussion at the event and I immediately knew that we had so much in common when it came to how we think about business, strategy, systems, and more! I'm so excited to finally bring her to the podcast today to talk about the profit-first system.

Val Duvick is a wedding photographer-turned business coach and certified Profit First Professional for female creatives with some hot takes and unconventional, but life-centered and life-giving business strategies. She speaks the creative language and is passionate about proving that even creative brains are capable of taking back control of their money and time! If you've heard of profit first but think "it's too complicated" or if numbers in general seem overwhelming to you, this episode will be a breath of fresh air. Val shares how the profit-first system simplifies her monthly financial decisions and has even allowed her to take two paid maternity leaves in two years. Tune into this episode to start paying yourself a regular paycheck this month (yes, it's possible)!

Most business owners want to slow down and take time off during the summer, but few will actually take the steps they need to take (ahead of time) to make that possible! This summer, I'm completely unplugging from business for 8 weeks, and taking an additional 6 weeks semi-off. But let me warn you: slow summers don't just happen! It takes a lot of intention and planning to take extended time off without sacrificing your paycheck. In this episode, I'm sharing tangible tips for making your dream summer schedule a reality without abandoning your business goals. Press play to live your best life while going after your business growth goals this summer.

And until you can uncover the real reason why you don't have enough time to move your business forward, the hours will not magically appear in your calendar. In this episode, I want to help you uncover the not-so-obvious reasons why you feel like you don't have time. If you can solve the root problem causing your time famine mentality, then your can start making more time for what matters most in your life and business.

"Am I ready to scale my business?"

This is a question I get a lot because there are so many misconceptions about what it takes to scale a business. I mean, you don't want to dive into something you're not ready for and risk falling flat on your face, right? But you also don't want to disqualify yourself from taking bold steps in your business even if you're not 100% ready! You can think about scaling your business like having kids. There's no perfect time to do it, and you'll never be 100% ready. But there are certainly things that will make the process easier, and today, I want to help you figure out if your business is "ready enough" to scale.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the four stages to scaling your service based business, how to identify which stage you're in, and how to know if you're ready to scale your business this year.

Are you into spring cleaning? I'm not really into cleaning, and typically couldn't care less if the floors are scrubbed (as long as the clutter has been put away)! However, in the spring, I always get the urge to do a deep clean and declutter of my entire house. I wish I could say that I get that urge as a business owner only once a year too, but in reality, it comes about every 90 days! If you're creative and ambitious, you might get that urge to reset and refresh your business routines every once in a while, too. But what if, instead of taking on a shiny new project to your plate to scratch that itch, you went through a spring cleaning process to get that fresh start feeling instead?

In this episode, I'm sharing 5 practical things that you can deep clean in your business in order to get a fresh start feeling going into spring. Press play to get a little boost of energy to carry you into your next season of business!

Everyone is talking about "building community" but few business owners have figured out how to bring people together in a meaningful way. I met today's guest when I was invited to guest present to her membership in early 2023, and I was immediately blown away by the type of community she'd built. Not only that, I was intrigued by the structure of her membership, how many people she was serving, and how many ways the membership was benefiting her business overall.

Sabrina Gebhardt is a lifestyle photographer of more than 13 years in Fort Worth, Texas and a business coach to photographers and other creative entrepreneurs. She's scaled her service-based business through multiple offers, and today, she's sharing her secret to building a membership offer that's profitable, sustainable, and builds real community!

If you're considering adding a membership to your offer suite, but are overwhelmed by how to structure it, what to charge, and how to get engaged members in a lower-ticket offer, this one's for you! Press play to learn how to scale your business through a membership offer.

I grew up on a farm in the midwest, so I'm very familiar with the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality, and I don't shy away from doing work that's hard. HOWEVER, and this is a big however, we do not live in the time economy anymore. In the time economy, the more hours you put in, the more money you make. This was the height of the industrial revolution and where we got the lovely 40 hour work week. But now, we live in a knowledge economy, where it doesn't matter how many hours you work. You get paid for the value that you bring to the table, and this is true for many 9-5 jobs but also for freelancers and service providers.

And yet, so many of us still fall into the trap of believing that in order to reach our goals, business or otherwise, we better work hard or else. It seems almost sacrilegious to say that working hard isn't something to be valued since our society puts so much emphasis on it, but there will come a point in your business or really any area of your life where working harder won't help you get better results. Everything has a tipping point, and the law of diminishing returns applies to this situation as well.

I don't think we stop often enough to ask ourselves, "how could this be easier?" because we assume and prematurely accept that it's going to be hard. And today, I want to share why I believe that working hard won't help you make more money in your business as a service provider. In fact, I strongly believe that the least effort your business requires of you, the more successful you'll ultimately be. It seems counterintuitive at first, but I hope to change your mind!

I recently read that as many as one in three entrepreneurs struggle with depression and burnout and 95% of entrepreneurs are unsure of how to achieve a healthy work-life balance. Here's why this is so important: when we don't manage and address stress in our life, it will inevitably lead to burnout. You can't sweep your stress under the rug and hope it goes away. You have to learn how to manage your stress levels if you want to build a sustainable business.

In a recent podcast episode, 4 Business Lessons I've Learned the Hard Way, I mentioned that I've recently noticed how much of an impact stress has on my business. Over the past 6 months, I've been focussing on reducing stress triggers and learning how to process unavoidable stress. Today, I'm going to deep dive into the things I've found to be helpful in dealing with stress as a business owner in hopes that you'll be able to pick up a strategy or two and declutter some stress in your own business too.

One of the reasons why I think so many business owners struggle to hit their annual goals is because they don't take the time to break them down into bite-sized chunks. At the beginning of the year, they get excited and motivated and create the big pretty map, but then they shove it in a drawer and don't take it out because actually taking action on those goals feels overwhelming.

This is why I'm so passionate about quarterly planning. Focussing one one quarter at a time can help you break down your big goals into more managable bite-sized chunks and be more realistic about what you actually have time to do during the next 90 days. It also eliminates the procrastination trap that many business owners fall into when they're constantly reassessing what they should be focussed on each month, week, or day. If you look at a huge list of projects and goals every day, it can feel absolutely paralyzing. It makes it easier to say, "I'll get to that later, there's plenty of time." But in reality, the only way to make progress on your goals is one tiny baby step at a time. If you can separate deciding what to do from the time and place you actually do those things, it will be easier for you to slide into execution mode, stop overthinking things, and just get things done.

Today, I'm sharing a simple 5-step process that you can use each and every quarter to have a mini business reset and get clear on the projects and tasks you need to prioritize to reach your business goals.

One of my top five strengths is "Learner", and I love learning about business and marketing. Recently the YouTube algorithm served up a video about building your sales funnel, and I clicked to watch. This video was riddled with tech jargon, affiliate advertisements for paid software platforms, and really complex paid advertising recommendations. For most business owners, this kind of advice on building a sales funnel isn't helpful. It's just overwhelming and demotivating. But I want you to know that building a sales funnel that converts and books out your services doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. You can create an evergreen, organic sales funnel that helps you book your services on auto-pilot without the stress and tech jargon. Today, I'm sharing my 5-step sales funnel framework, and a roadmap for building your business without the social media hustle this year.

As we're getting into the New Year, you may have already made some goals around how much money you want to make this year and different strategies you want to implement to reach your goals. I'll be the first person to say that there are a million ways to grow a business, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution. However, no matter what your financial goal or marketing strategy looks like, there's one thing that every single business owner needs to do if they want to increase their income while working less: build an offer suite that will scale.

If your offers are locking you into trading time for money, then it will be impossible for you to jump off the hamster wheel and reach your income goals. But when you have a solid offer suite in place that is fully in alignment with your financial goals, your marketing strategies will start giving you a better return on your investment, and you'll reach your goals faster. So today, I'm going to share how to create an offer suite that scales in 3 simple steps.

As a business owner, I've always valued learning from the mistakes of others, but I've learned by experience that there are just some lessons that you have to learn the hard way. I talk to so many business owners on a weekly basis that feel like they're the only ones who are struggling, and if the only thing that this episode helps you see is that you're not alone, then it'll be worth it.

If you're struggling, feeling uninspired, feeling overwhelmed, or feeling apathetic about your business, know that it's okay, and it's healthy even! Growing a business is really hard, and if you ever find yourself in a season where everything feels completely effortless, it's a good sign that you're not stretching yourself and growing as a business owner.

So today, I want to share with you 4 business lessons that I've learned the hard way as I've grown and scaled my business in hopes that it's encouraging to you wherever you're at on your journey. And maybe you'll even be able to avoid some of the mistakes I've made along the way.

Here's something you may not know about me... I'm easily overwhelmed, despite being crazy organized. The reason why I've been so intentional with creating routines and systems for myself and my business is because my tolerance for chaos is... below average. When it comes to eliminating overwhelm in your life, complexity is a major culprit, especially for busy women managing a business, home, and family! Complexity is the archenemy of productivity that makes everything more frustrating and time-consuming.

So today, we're talking about the power of simplicity in businesses. Simple businesses win —they make faster progress and are more strategic. It's far more effective (and less overwhelming) to simplify and streamline instead of trying to juggle a million things at once. Throughout this episode, I'll share why simple businesses drive more profit and highlight areas where complexity might be sabotaging your business success.

Most business owners I encounter have inadvertently complicated their businesses, making hitting goals an overwhelming and daunting task. My goal? To help them establish straightforward structures that align with their goals, eliminate the overwhelm, and make executing easy. Simplicity creates consistency, and consistency is the key to generating results e.g. profit in your business. Press play to learn how to simplify your business in order to increase your profitability and pave the way for an easy-to-scale business.

For business owners, the New Year isn't just about turning a new page and setting goals - it's about strategy. And figuring out your pricing strategy can feel overwhelming for many reasons, but here's the thing, the start of a fresh year is a golden opportunity to reevaluate and raise your prices to set your business up for success. Your pricing strategy isn't just about typing a new number into your checkout page, it's making sure your business is set up to scale! And when we talk about scaling, it's really about maximizing profit without constantly hustling. We're aiming for that sweet spot where your business generates the most profit possible without you putting in extra hours.

And guess what? Your prices are crucial in reaching that goal. When you set your prices, it's not just about the money coming in (revenue); it's about the money you actually get to keep (profit). Adjusting your pricing is one of the most powerful levers you have when it comes to increasing your profit this year, and I want to help you with this today. So, if you're ready to figure out your new pricing strategy, press play. Let's get your business ready to scale this year!

If, when you stop working, you stop making money, then you are trading time for money. When you scale your business, you move away from trading time for money, and into creating VALUE for money. When your business is set up to scale, you can simultaneously deliver incredible value and an amazing experience to your clients even while you're unplugged, offline, or on vacation.

In this episode, I want to give you some tangible tips for how you can take real time off as a service provider. Many clients come to me because they are in a time famine. They literally cannot imagine what it would look like to take a week off, let alone the month of December, or a full maternity leave. While you're building your business and perfecting your craft, trading time for money is just a part of the journey, and there's nothing wrong with that! But if you are desiring the type of business that does allow you to take real time off, and extended time off, without sacrificing your earning potential, then this episode is for you.

If you're digging into goal-setting for your business, you've come to the right place! When it comes to setting financial goals, I see so many business owners setting random goals based on what they think they "should" be making. But ultimately, this is not a good practice for growing your business, because your financial goals are as unique as your business! Who's to say if getting to $5k months or $10k months is actually going to help you pay yourself more? Who's to say when you get there that you won't just be working 60 hours a week or create a business you hate? That's why I have each of my coaching clients get super clear on their financial goals. I coach my clients to create profit-first financial goals that are centered around paying themselves more while also working less. Press play to learn a simple 2-step process for doubling your profit next year without sacrificing more of your time and energy.

Before you dive into this episode, make sure you also grab my free masterclass, "Double your Profit While Working Less" which also includes the exact financial spreadsheet that I use with my coaching clients. In this masterclass, I'll show you step-by-step how to create and break down your financial goals so you can give yourself a raise while working shorter days and weeks.

Have you ever heard the lines, "sorry, it's company policy" or "I don't know, let me transfer you to my manager"? If I'm being honest, as a business owner, whenever I hear these lines, there's a part of me that gets really jealous. I mean wouldn't it be nice if we could all just forward tricky emails and requests to our "manager"? Or tell those over-demanding clients, "Sorry, there's nothing I can do about that, it's company policy."

As business owners, we get a lot of random requests and questions ranging from over-the-top exciting to excruciatingly uncomfortable. But I have some good news! You can create many different types of systems and automations in your business to eliminate a lot of those awkward situations virtually overnight! In this episode, I'm sharing three examples of systems that my coaching clients and I have used to avoid some really awkward situations.

As we enter another holiday season, you're probably anticipating taking a step back from your business and enjoying some intentional time with your friends and family. The holidays can be an extremely busy time for sales, promotions, and making big decisions and investments in your business before the new year. But if you're not careful, you might wake up on January 1st only to realize the holidays were a blur… and you never took the time you wanted to really step back and rest.

Slow living is trending, and it's for a good reason. In the world we live in, the default is busyness, consumerism, and distracted minds. If you want to flip the script and create a slow season where you're actually fully present with your kids and family, it's not going to happen by accident! In this episode, I'm sharing 6 tips that you can use to (actually) live out your vision of a slow holiday season this year!

At the end of your life, what will matter most to you? Most of us act like we'll live forever and have plenty of time to do and accomplish what we want to. But in reality, none of us know how much time we have left. We're not promised tomorrow, and when we live in that truth, our perspective of what's productive changes.

This is why I'm so excited to share this interview with my friend (and podcast editor!), Colton Carr. After building a successful wedding videography business, Colton and his wife Mallory received an unexpected diagnosis that changed everything. When life hits you with something like this, you can't help but reassess what really matters. There is so much laughter in this interview, but there are also some tears. My hope is that this episode will point you back to what matters in your own life, while challenging and encouraging you to reconsider how you define productivity.

Have you ever tried to watch less TV? It's not easy to do! Unless you're one of those people who doesn't own a TV (which I'm seriously impressed by), it can be hard to strike the right balance between enjoying a good movie and distracting yourself from the things that matter most to you.

As part of my year of less challenge, I did a "No Streaming September" challenge where we put some hard limits on our TV time in the Boyd household. Before starting this challenge, I had fallen into some pretty bad TV habits that I wasn't proud of this year. For example, we fell into the habit of eating dinner in front of the TV every night, and I would frequently wake up on weekends and immediately watch TV while waking up.

In his book, the Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, John Mark Comer cited that the average American watches 1,642 hours of television each day. Now don't get me wrong, I love a good movie and will never swear off TV forever, but I also know that I don't want to spend nearly 2,000 hours watching someone else's story unfold while I'm neglecting my own.

I was extremely surprised by what we discovered by going through this No Streaming September Challenge. It was impactful in so many ways and I'm really excited to share my tips, trials, and takeaways with you in this episode! If you're ready to set more intentional limits on TV time (without throwing it out the window) this episode will make getting started super simple for you. Press play to listen to the full episode!

Have you ever felt like you were busy all day but accomplished absolutely nothing? Have you ever ended a day realizing you only crossed one thing off your to-do list but felt wildly accomplished? If you're focussed on becoming "more productive" it's important to understand how to measure your productivity. Otherwise, how will you know if you're making any progress?! The problem is that productivity can be difficult to measure - it's not so simple as how many tasks you cross off your list each day (wouldn't that be nice though?).

On a global scale, we measure productivity by GDP (a country's total output). As a business owner, it can be tempting to fall in line - the more we make the more productive we are right? Yes and no. The United States may be #1 in GDP, but we're #15 in happiness. If you're hyper-focussed on improving the wrong metrics, it's easy to lose sight of what really matters. You could become super efficient and maybe even wildly "successful" without actually moving the needles that matter in your life and business.

In this episode, I'm sharing a more well-rounded definition for what it really means to be productive as a modern woman in business as well as a simple formula for you to test out to measure your daily productivity. Press play to tune into the full episode, and change your definition of a "productive day" today!

In this episode, I’m talking about a topic that a lot of you have requested from me. I shared earlier this year that I was thinking about switching from Dubsado to ClickUp to manage my entire client workflow. I got a lot of questions about how I came to that decision and what the transition has looked like for me. There are many reasons why I switched, so I’m dedicating a full podcast episode to why Dubsado ended up not being a good fit for me and how I'm managing my client workflow in ClickUp now. You may be surprised that I also added other software programs to my software stack to manage my workflow... but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Before we jump in, I want to give a disclaimer that I still think Dubsado is a great software tool. Dubsado has continually improved their software, which is really important! I always look at a software's product roadmap before I sign up for it to see what their plan is for the future. I want to know what their development vision is to see if their business will grow alongside my business. While it wasn't a great choice for me based on how my business developed, it's still the number one business management software that I recommend to many of my clients who are creatives. So, don’t completely count Dubsado out yet!

If you've realized that the software you chose to set up your client workflow isn't working for you and feel frustrated when things get glitchy, this episode might help you sort through some of the challenges you're having. If you have a coaching business or a service-based business, lean in close. This episode might open your eyes to some different options to consider. I'm really happy with the switch I made and it might be just want you’re looking for, too.

There's so much I could say about ClickUp, but today I'm just going to talk about customer and client workflows, and what to consider when choosing your software stack to make your life easier and business more streamlined.

By the way, if you haven't already heard, I do have a course for ClickUp - the Organize Your Business course. It goes through how I organize the entirety of my business within ClickUp - I’m talking goals and projects, all of my marketing channels, client work, course creation and course student management, all of my random admin tasks, etc. The course walks you through each of the folders with an example in the template, and gives you a behind-the-scenes look into how I use each and every folder in my own business to manage everything. Be sure to check it out linked below.

There are so many different strategies and ways to set goals as a business owner that it can feel overwhelming. That overwhelm can actually hinder your thought process around where your business is heading and keep you from making a plan to focus your efforts on the things you want to accomplish in your business. People who are overwhelmed rarely take action, so by breaking goal setting down in a way that is simple to understand and simple to do, you will get out of the goal-induced overwhelm and into action.

There are only three steps to a successful quarterly goal setting session that will help you build intentionally and help you see the results you want to get out of the next quarter in your business. My foundational structure is something you can build on top of as you get more comfortable with goal setting or if you're a seasoned goal setter.

Quarterly goal setting is one of my favorite topics! Press play and let me share a super simple goal-setting process that will help you get unstuck and give you the foundation to help you move from goal setting overwhelm to a simple, streamlined workflow to plan your quarter.

If you want to put what you hear today into practice with a set aside time and place and one on one guidance on how to do this for your own business, sign up here for my in-person quarterly goal setting and planning workshop on September 27, 2023 at The Midnight Gem in Swisher, Iowa or join the waitlist for the virtual option coming soon.

If you're like me, you're likely to fall into the trap of productive procrastination. It's the type of procrastination that keeps you busy with one thing (usually busy work or menial tasks that are low on the priority list) to avoid doing things that actually move the needle forward in business and life. It's the type of procrastination that most work-from-home business owners are likely to fall into at home because distractions are EVERYWHERE.

In business, we measure our productivity based on our goals. How do you determine if it was a productive year? I hope you're not tallying how many menial tasks you crossed off each day. I hope you're measuring how much growth and progress toward your goals those tasks have actually produced for your business and life. And if you set the wrong goals, you could easily waste a whole year moving your business in the wrong direction and realizing that you didn't accomplish much that was worth celebrating.

With this in mind, your ability to set strategic and aligned goals can make or break your productivity as a business owner. Productivity starts with clarity on what you want to accomplish and as the CEO of your business, you're responsible for setting that vision and clarifying the direction. So it's really important that when you're setting goals, you're setting yourself up for the most productive goal setting session you could possibly have, right?

Tune in to this quick tip episode to hear about the way your environment affects your productivity when it comes to goal setting and how to curate your environment for a productive goal setting session. Grab your favorite note taking medium and join me!

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the clutter in your life, both physical and mental? I certainly have, and that's why I decided to do my own "Year of Less Challenge" this year. Each month, I've challenged myself to do less of something in order to free up more time and space for the things that matter most to me. What started as a month-long decluttering challenge in April stretched into four transformative months of decluttering, reevaluating my possessions, and embracing an even more minimal-ish lifestyle. Like many people, my journey into minimalism began in 2015 when I stumbled upon Marie Kondo's book, "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up." Little did I know that it would be the catalyst for a major life change and a decade long journey to pursuing minimalism in every area of my life and business. Tune into this episode to learn more about my minimalist home journey, get a behind the scenes look at what it took to declutter my house from top to bottom this summer, and learn how this challenge has affected my business as a work-from-home entrepreneur!

THE BEST BOOKS FOR BECOMING A MINIMALIST I learn something new every time I read a book about minimalism, because there are so many categories of things that we own. So one person will do a deep dive into the reasons why you only need 3 knives, and another person will show you it’s possible to dress stylishly with only 30 items of clothing. Here are my best book recommendations for the minimalist curious:

  • Minimalista: Your Step-by-Step Guide to a Better Home, Wardrobe, and Life
  • The More of Less: Finding the Life You Want Under Everything You Own
  • The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing
  • The Year of Less: How I Stopped Shopping, Gave Away My Belongings, and Discovered Life Is Worth More Than Anything You Can Buy in a Store

At the time this episode goes live, everyone is starting to get excited to enter a new season. The Target shelves are filled with pumpkin spice candles, fall wreaths, and back-to-school supplies galore. Fall is my absolute favorite season for so many reasons. It's a season of routine, reflection, and winding down, which is why I thought it would be the perfect season to introduce this concept of the "seasonal bucket list". You've probably heard of bucket lists, and have maybe even made one yourself. A bucket list is just a list of experiences or goals that you want to check off your list before you "kick the bucket". Usually, these are the types of experiences or goals that won't get prioritized in your life unless you make an effort to pay special attention to them. I mean when is skydiving or hiking the Grand Canyon really ever going to be the most urgent thing on your to-do list? Creating a bucket list can help motivate and inspire you to start truly living and experiencing your life, take some risks, get out of your day-to-day routine, and take advantage of the time you have here on Earth. In other words, bucket lists can inspire you to live more intentionally and focus on things that matter to you. But what if we could infuse that same sense of purpose and excitement into our everyday lives, without waiting for a far-off someday? In this episode, I'm going to share with you my process for creating a seasonal bucket list so you can lean into fall and live just a little more intentionally this season. You can also download a free Seasonal Bucket List Guide HERE to get the step-by-step summary sent to your inbox. Links and Resources Mentioned in This Episode * FREE Seasonal Bucket List Workbook

In today's fast-paced world, decision-making can be overwhelming and mentally draining, especially for entrepreneurs. Did you know that on average, we make 35,000 decisions a day?! That's roughly 1 decision every 2.5 seconds... The constant need to make choices (even simple ones like what to eat for dinner) consumes valuable time and energy. As entrepreneurs, even small improvements in your decision making process can lead to huge returns in your business and life. And with no clear guidelines for making decisions? You might find yourself burnt out with a heavy case of decision fatigue or mental overload. In this episode, I explore the concept of categorical decision making—a strategy that can help you simplify your life and business by reducing the number of decisions you need to make each day. By implementing this strategy, you can free up mental space, reduce stress, and focus on what truly matters. So let's dive in! Ready to ditch the busy work, streamline your business, and create the freedom and flexibility you crave? Apply for The Business Edit™ Coaching Program today!

Are you tired of those never-ending tasks on your to-do list? You know, the ones that seem to multiply even when you're crossing off items left and right? Every task on your to-do list falls into one of two categories: maintenance or growth. Both types are crucial for reaching your business goals, but finding the right balance is key!

While it's easy to resent maintenance work, I want to have a little chat about the importance of finding joy in the process. Let's challenge the notion that maintenance tasks are menial or futile, because they play a special role in helping you achieve your business goals.

In this episode, I'm sharing how I batch my maintenance tasks on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis by establishing intentional routines. The benefits of task batching are endless! You'll bring awareness to the time you spend on these tasks, eliminate the feeling of tasks constantly hanging over your head, and ultimately save time for your needle-moving tasks!

Say goodbye to the overwhelm of maintenance tasks and hello to a harmonious to-do list that keeps you on track to achieve your goals. Press play to break free from the maintenance task trap.

My year of less challenge continues! A few months ago, I was speaking to a group of women in business about their challenges with productivity. Several women expressed that it was really difficult to set good boundaries with their phones while still showing up on social media (particularly Instagram) for their business. And I get it! As business owners, cookie-cutter productivity advice won't cut it when it comes to building a healthy relationship with technology. A lot of productivity experts will suggest that you take extreme measures like putting your phone in a drawer while you work or delete social media apps from your phone. And while that would certainly solve your problem, it's just not realistic for most small business owners.

So in the month of February, as part of my Year of Less Challenge, I broke up with my phone. Now let me give a disclaimer: I already had an okay relationship with my phone, but there's always room to improve! In February, my relationship with my phone went from good to great, and I solved my Instagram scrolling issue once and for all. In today's episode, I'm sharing the changes I've made to my habits and routines so that I can still use my phone daily for for my business, without being sucked into a mindless scroll. I'm sharing what I tried, what worked, and what didn't work. Press play for fresh tips on how to spend less time scrolling and more time being present for the things that actually matter to you!

I'm all about working smarter, not harder, and the holy grail of working less and earning more is passive income. I mean, what's more efficient that making money in your sleep? But what do most passive income experts not mention? Setting up a passive income stream can be lot of work. Like.. A LOT of work (especially when you're doing it for the first time). And although I'd still recommend putting in the work to create those passive income streams, I also want to share an easy win.

There's one passive income stream every business owner should have, and it doesn't take endless hours to set it up! It's not sexy, in fact, it's incredibly boring! But it's a small way that you can earn more money, without having to put in a whole lot of extra work. The easy win? A bank account with APY terms that help you add extra cash to your bank account every single month. (I told you it wasn't gonna be sexy!!)

In this episode, I'm sharing more about why I decided to switch to new banks, what I looked for, and why I ultimately landed with SoFi and BlueVine. Tune into this episode and start making smarter money moves today!

I block one full day each month to have a CEO Day. You might have heard other business owners talking about CEO days or 'stepping into your CEO role'. At some point, you may have wondered, "What does that even mean?! What does that actually look like?"

Stepping into your CEO role can start with a really simple, even enjoyable, ritual: a CEO Day.

Today, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing what I do on CEO Days as a multi-passionate entrepreneur. I'm also sharing how you can quickly and easily build this ritual into your business to increase your productivity too.

What's a CEO Day?

A CEO Day is a day set aside for you to reflect on what's happening in your business and make intentional, strategic decisions about how to move forward.

What to do on a CEO Day?

I do three things during every CEO Day. Every business is different, so your CEO Day checklist will look slightly different too! But no matter what type of business you have, there are three things every CEO will want to do on a CEO Day:

  1. Review the previous period or month.
  2. Preview the upcoming period or month.
  3. Create a STRATEGIC plan for the upcoming period or month.

From the moment I named this podcast, “The Business Minimalist” I knew that I wanted to create this episode. I mean, if anyone should answer the question, "What's a Business Minimalist", it should be me, right? But defining exactly what a Business Minimalist is (and isn’t) has taken me some time to put into words. Ultimately, becoming a Business Minimalist has more to do with what you believe than the type of business you own.

You can be a Business Minimalist as a solopreneur who makes $50k per year, or you can be a Business Minimalist as a multi-passionate creative business owner with a team of 20 people. I would argue that Apple is a minimalist business, and they earned almost $167 billion dollars last year. What matters most is the mindset and the intentionality in which you approach your business decisions.

That means you can become a Business Minimalist today! It's never to late to shift your strategy and find ways to do less but better in your business. I hope that this episode gives you a new perspective to consider.

In December, as I was dreaming about ways that I could continue optimizing my systems and become more productive (while also passing along that knowledge to you), I had an idea. This is the Business MINIMALIST podcast, so as you know, I’m obsessed with finding ways that less can be better in business. So this year, instead of focusing on all the things I want to add to my plate, I started by asking myself what I could do LESS of, in order to free up space for the things that I want to focus on. This train of thought resulted in me introducing the Year of Less Challenge!

Tune into this week's episode to learn more about my Year of Less Challenge and how you can do less this year too.

Today, we’re talking about one of my favorite subjects: how to get time blocking to FINALLY work for you. And I say, “finally” because I know there’s a lot of frustration with time blocking, especially for beginners, or women like you who have a million and one roles and responsibilities to fill.

However, you need to know that it’s totally normal if time blocking didn't work for you the first time you tried it. Finding a time blocking routine that works for you is supposed to be an iterative process, and it might take you a while to find your groove - that’s okay!

In today’s episode, I’m sharing:

  • The science behind time blocking and how it can increase your productivity
  • My simple 5-step process for creating a time blocking system that works for you and your business
  • Common time blocking roadblocks you might have experienced and how to overcome them

When’s the last time you took the time to really celebrate an accomplishment in your business? I’ve noticed recently that my coaching clients are quick to move from project to project without stopping to celebrate the little achievements along the way. If I'm being honest, I've noticed it in myself too.

But what's the point of working so hard if we can't take the time to actually enjoy our success at the end of the week or month or year? Right?!

So today, let’s make a plan for how we’re going to celebrate our success at the end of the year. In this episode, I’m sharing 4 fun ways to celebrate your success this year (or at any time during the year) before you move on to your 2023 plans!

As business owners, it’s easy to fall into the trap of trying to get as many things done as possible - with the naive hope that someday we’ll be free from our to-do lists. But this goes against everything I believe about productivity. It’s not about how many things you get done. It’s about making space for the right things. It’s about learning to live a life marked by freedom and intention while also making progress on your to-do list.

By the time you're done listening to this episode, you’ll have several helpful strategies for tackling your to-do list with intention. I’m going to share five common mistakes entrepreneurs make when tackling their to-do lists, and my top productivity tips for small business owners.

Is the 40 hour work week REALLY productive for modern women? I've been thinking about this question since I accepted my first full-time roll as a college graduate. I quickly realized that there are many reasons why the 40 hour work week just doesn't make sense anymore.. especially for modern women in business.

With over half of women reporting they're burned out, we have to ask, "Is there a better way to work?" I believe there is! By the end of this episode, you'll have a better understanding of where the 40 hour work week came from, what's changed since it went into law in America, and how you can structure your work week more productively as a small business owner.

Is it time for you to focus on less but better goals in your business?

We all want to feel like we're contributing to something meaningful. Pursuing inspiring business goals contributes to your overall happiness and helps you figure out what to focus on (or forget about).

But sometimes, our goals can overwhelm us more than they motivate us.

In today's episode, I'm sharing why it may be time to declutter your goals and a few tips for identifying and letting go of the goals that don't align with this season of your business or life.

By the time you're done listening to this episode, you'll be well on your way to setting and achieving your financial goals for your small business!

Janey started her career at an asset management corporation, but she dreamed of starting her own consulting firm. After her first son was born, she realized she was commuting two hours per day and only saw her newborn baby one hour each night.

So she took the leap, and put her MBA and 8+ years in the financial services industry to work. Janey is now a fractional CFO and business coach who helps service-based small businesses become more profitable through financial and organizational development.
