As an entrepreneur, you can’t be afraid to shift your strategy when necessary.
When you first start out, you may have a clear vision of what you want to achieve and how you’re going to get there. But as you begin to execute your plan, you may realize that some things aren’t working as well as you’d hoped.

Remember, a successful business is built on flexibility and adaptation. So, don’t be afraid to shift your strategy when necessary.

Time is one of the hottest commodities you've got as an entrepreneur - but are you using it to it's full potential?
Every minute spent working in and on your business has an impact so it's important to be strategic about where you use your resources.
In fact, there are two different ways that you can use your time as an entrepreneur: spending and investing.
Spending time is when you use your time to do tasks that need to be done but don’t necessarily move your business forward. This could include things like checking email, reading industry news, or attending networking events.
Investing time is when you use your time to work on tasks that will grow your business. This could include things like developing a marketing strategy, writing blog posts, or creating new products.
By understanding the difference between spending and investing your time, you can make sure that you’re using your time in the most effective way possible.
Listen in as we break down the differences between spending and investing time - and how to make the shift into investing time instead of simply spending it.

As an entrepreneur, it can be easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of always saying yes.

Check out the 30-Day Success Formula by clicking here.
If we were starting a business from scratch, one of the first things we would do is establish our core values.
Core values are the guiding principles that drive everything we do, from the way we treat our employees to the products and services we offer. Having clearly defined core values is essential for making sound decisions, both large and small.
They provide a sense of purpose and direction, and help you to stay focused on your goals. Most importantly, they serve as a filter for making decisions.
You'll hear why it's so important to have core values established before making any major decisions - and how core values can shape your success.

30-Day Success Formula
Doors close on August 5th - we can't wait to see you inside!
Ever get to the end of the day and wonder "where did the time go?! And what did I actually get done?"
It's a very common occurence when you're a multipassionate entrepreneur who is driven to succeed. But sitting in being busy can trap you in a cycle of hard work with little traction on your biggest dreams.
In this episode we're discussing making the shift from busy to productive in your workday.
Many entrepreneurs focus their energy on the future state of their goals. And while there's nothing wrong with working towards exciting things in your business there is a dangerous side effect to forgetting about the moment you exist in right now.
That moment is the in-between - all of the moments between where you started and where you're going.
Listen in as we discuss how to exist in the in-between in your business - and why it's important.
As an entrepreneur, it's important to set goals that will help you measure your progress and find success.
But not every goal is created equal.
Without setting meaningful goals, you'll quickly become bogged down in the day-to-day details of running your business and lose sight of what you're working towards. By setting goals that are aligned with your values and passions, you'll be more likely to stay motivated and focused on the big picture.
But what makes a goal meaningful? And how do you set meaningful goals?
We're breaking it down into an easy to action guide so that you can get started with your own meaningful goals today.
Ever feel like your day ends and although you've been busy, nothing seems to have actually gotten done?
It's a pretty common phenomenon - so instead of just sitting in busy, let's get that day feeling productive.
We're diving into 3 things you can do, starting today, to move you out of busy and towards your version of success.
Goals are a crucial part of moving forward in your business - and they can seem so far away.
But your goal is actually closer than you think. And in this episode, we're breaking down how to make it feel closer and how to approach reaching goals in your business.
Strong businesses are built on healthy habits - but sometimes what we think is making us more productive is actually stealing time and success.
And today we're tackling one really big habit that's got entrepreneurs thinking they're being productive. We're talking about multitasking.
You'll hear all about how multitasking:
- is stealing your time
- is impacting your creativity
- is fooling you into thinking you're being productive
And you'll also hear some practical tips to start eliminating multitasking right away.
Ready to go from idea to "I did it!"?
All without overcomplicating it?
If you see a goal, and you immediately start thinking about all the steps you need to take to get there - know you're not alone. This is a totally normal phenomenon for entrepreneurs.
But this simple formula...idea + action = outcome...can transform your relationship with your goals.
And while this concept is simple, putting it into daily practice is not necessarily easy. Especially with other demands on our time.
So - we're also sharing three tips that will help you bridge the gap between your ideas and your desired outcomes and put this formula in
Listen in as we break down this simple formula - and how to put it into practice, starting today.
Knowing when and how to bringing people into your business can feel daunting.
But it's important to know how, when and who to bring people into your business. In this episode, we'll explore the different ways you can bring people on board and help your business grow.
You'll learn about the benefits of bringing employees on board, as well as the pros and cons of working with contractors and coaches. By the end of this episode, you'll have a better understanding of what's best for your business.
And if you're relying on bartering inside of your business, we're tackling that too. And why we don't use bartering as a growth strategy.
Listen in to figure out who your business needs to go to the next level - if that's your goal.
Any business owner will tell you that there are a million different things to worry about (or it at least feels that way).
From big things like striking the right balance between work and life, to small things like making sure the office kitchen is stocked with coffee. Sure, it's important to keep the office stocked with coffee. But if there's a major client presentation that needs to be finished, that should take precedence.
So how does an entrepreneur with competing priorities keep calm and avoid making mountains out of molehills?
In this episode, we're sharing the number one strategy to do just that.
You were tired of working for someone else.
You wanted to be your own boss, and you had a great idea for a business that you know will make money.
But now you're stuck in the day-to-day grind of running that business.
It's easy to forget why you started it in the first place if you don't take time to reconnect with what inspired you. Bringing joy back into our work has been one of the most important things we've done as entrepreneurs.
Of course, it's not always possible to completely eliminate the stressors that come with running a business. But there are small things you can do on a daily basis to bring some more joy into your work life. Listen in as we chat about bringing back joy into entrepreneurship.
Maybe this has happened to you too?
You're motoring along in your business and all of a sudden the universe delivers a serious dose of the human experience. A spot in your life that causes a neccessary push of the pause button.
That was us at the end of February, in a massive way - but we're back and we're ready to rock the rest of this year.
And yes, we're sharing why we have been away in this episode - so if you've been wondering what the heck happened, you'll learn why the universe forced a break on us.
But we didn't press pause totally inside our business - you'll also hear all about our updated mission statement and learn a little bit about what we've been up to while we took the time to lean in on our personal lives.
Please note - this episode discusses the loss of a loved one.
You're probably used to working hard and pushing through when you're feeling low energy, but this isn't sustainable in the long run.
It's time to change how you think about your natural energetic ebbs and flows. Pushing through when you're feeling low energy can actually lead to decreased productivity and creativity.
Managing your energetic ebbs and flows is key to a successful business. By taking actions like batching work and building in space for rest, you can ensure that your business matches your natural energetic needs.
Listen in as we chat about what this looks like inside of our business and how to manage the natural energetic shifts in yours.
You know you need to set goals and plan for the future, but where do you start?
Most people never take the time to sit down and create a plan.
And...without a roadmap it's easy to get lost or sidetracked on your journey to success.
The best way to achieve any goal?
Create a 90 day plan.
This episode breaks down how to create your own unique 90 day plan and outlines the benefits of having one. Whether you're looking to start a new goal or expanding an existing one, this episode has everything you need to get started today.
It's no secret that good marketing is key to a successful business, but what if your marketing is actually repelling potential customers?
When your marketing is based on agitating pain points instead of identifying those pain points with empathy with potential customers, you're likely using a confrontational style of marketing.
Empathetic marketing is a much more effective way to attract customers and make sales. By using an understanding and compassionate approach, you'll create a connection with potential buyers that will encourage them to do business with you.
This episode will help you identify if your marketing is repelling potential customers and how to start the shift to an empathetic approach.
You've read all the books, you've taken all the courses, and you're still not seeing the success you want in your business. What's going on?
You might be surprised to hear this, but it's possible that your personal development is actually getting in the way of your success. All of that learning and studying might be making you feel like you're ready to take action, but it's not actually translating into results.
The good news is that there is a solution. In this episode we break down how personal development could be stopping you from taking action in your business and what you can do about it. We also share a few tips for making sure that your personal growth doesn't get in the way of your success.
Busyness has become a badge of honour in our society. We wear it like a cloak of prestige, thinking that if we're busy, then we must be on our way to success.
But what if busyness is actually keeping you from being successful? And keeping your business broke.
Ugh, right?
And at the root of using busy to avoid doing the work that moves the needle on your business goals is one thing - fear. That fear can further be broken down into the fear of success and the fear of failure.
Listen in as we discuss what busyness can look like, why it happens and how to move forward in your business.
We all know that feeling.
You've got a great idea, but somehow you can't seem to get started. You tell yourself you'll start tomorrow, and the next day, and the next . . . until before you know it, weeks or months have gone by and your idea is still just a dream.
Inaction can become a habit if we're not careful - but luckily, there are ways to break out of it and move forward. In this episode, we'll explore how inaction becomes a habit and how to overcome it.
Here at Success and the Shy Girl - we've got 4 defined lifecycle phases that every business (small or large) fits into.
And if you're only defining your success based on how big you're scaling your business, you're going to want to have a listen.
Because your success should not be a reflection of external expectations - in fact, it should always reflect the lifecycle of business you're in. So whether you're in a starting phase or a scaling phase, your definition of success will reflect where your business is at.

If you're like many entrepreneurs, it may feel like you have to be perfect in order to run a successful business. You may think that in order to make a good impression on customers or clients, you need to have every detail of your product or service planned out and flawlessly executed.
But the reality is that no business or entrepreneur is perfect, and trying to be perfect can have negative consequences for your business.
Because perfectionism can lead to procrastination.

It's not a secret that getting clear on your niche is a great way to get ahead in your business - both from a content perspective and from a sales perspective.

However - for a lot of entrepreneurs (maybe you included), it's either too narrow or too frustrating to define a single ICA. That's where the Ideal Target Audience (ITA) comes in.

What does visibility mean to you as an entrepreneur?
It's a term that gets tossed around in the entrepreneur space, usually with few truly defining what it means.
A lot would say that it's about being seen in all the places. And a lot might also frame visibility around measurable metrics like reach, following size and engagement rates.
And while neither of those is technically wrong, they don't paint a full picture of what it means to be visible as a brand, business or entrepreneur in 2021.

Opportunities can come in many forms - clients, personal development tools, and ideas - to name a few. And seeing, recognizing and acting on opportunities is a big piece of creating sustainable business growth - until it's not.
Because sometimes, what you're presented with as an opportunity is, in fact, a distraction from forward motion in your business. We like to think of them as business squirrels - pulling you from your current path and setting you in a whole new direction. And while sometimes it's necessary, it can completely derail you from the path that was taking you to a beautiful outcome.
But what's the best way to figure out if an opportunity is actually a distraction (like a wolf hiding in sheep's clothing)?
That's exactly what you'll hear in this weeks episode - discerning between true opportunity and disguised distraction (and what to do when you discover an opportunity has been a hidden distraction all along.
So if you're feeling bogged down in a sea of opportunities that are starting to feel like a burden, join us in our conversation this week and learn how to find the distractions that are dressed as opportunities.
There are 3 versions of you - the past, the present and the future. In reality, they all exist in the present moment and have an impact on decision making and how you show up in your business.
We're chatting this week about how to capture each version of you and empower them in the present so that you can move confidently forward in your business.

Businesses undergo evolution as a natural part of their lifecycle - but what does it mean to consciously make that evolution?
It's no secret that 2020 was the year of the pivot - but it left lots of entrepreneurs wondering "well, what's next?"
Listen in as we chat about what it looks like to consciously evolve your business and how we've made the shift away from the pivot to embracing the evolution of our brand and business.
Other peoples' priorities can sneak in to your goals, your actions and your daily habits and wreak havoc on your ability to effectively work towards what's most important to you.
Listen in as we discuss how to identify other peoples' priorities sneaking into your goals and daily actions - and how to manage them.
It's no secret that happy clients will help build successful and profitable businesses. It's also no secret that "underpromise but overdeliver" is a time-tested tactic that works extremely well to gain customers, keep them and then keep them coming back for more.
But what happens when you move from strategic serving into people pleasing behaviour?
That's what we're chatting about this episode!
Scarcity (a type of urgency) is one of the psychological triggers identified by Robert Cialdini in his book Persuasion and has been widely adopted as a marketing and copywriting tactic.
But heres' the thing, urgency can either take a great offer and make it sell like hotcakes - or it can make potential clients run in the other direction. Because urgency and scarcity used without integrity and authenticity can make readers and sellers alike feel 'icky' .
You can make use of urgency and scarcity inside of your marketing without resorting to sales tactics that feel incredibly out of alignment with your core values as an entrepreneur.
Listen in as we discuss how artificially inflating urgency or scarcity can damage trust with your audience and how to use urgency in full integrity so that your audience feels informed to make a purchase decision they feel good about.
Where do you start when you don't know where to start? The beginning, the middle or the end?
Well - the answer might be any of those points. And that's exactly what we're talking about in this episode.
You'll hear about:
- how getting started without a complex plan is sometimes exactly what you need to do
- what reverse engineering can do for your goals (hint - it'll make the process a whole lot easier)
- the simple question you can ask yourself (at least 5 times) to really reach your core motivations for a goal (and help you figure out if it's someone else's goal for you in disguise)
- when it's ok to lean on other peoples' frameworks or processes for goal-getting
Problems in business - we've all got 'em. And we all want to solve them.
Thinking outside the box (with creative problem solving) is a key skill in managing problems and implementing solutions that make sense.
We're chatting today about some the things we do inside our business to "think outside the box" when faced with coming up with creative solutions
Celebration of all your wins - both big and small - are key in taking your success to the next level. But it's often an afterthought for a lot of entrepreneurs.
Reframing success and celebration as gratitude can help to acknowledge everything you've achieved and learned on your journey to getting your goal.
If you're seriously looking to go from busy to productive - then batching is about to become your productivity BFF.
Batching - a process that groups the same task together - is a serious game changer when it comes to working in your business. It allows you to work ahead AND work more efficiently.
And not only does it mean working more efficiently, it allows you to work with consistency and creativity.
There's no doubt about it - your daily decisions are the key ingredient of your success. But how do you make decisions on a daily basis that amplify success?
We're digging in deep on making daily decisions in your business including...
There's no question that developing a success mindset is crucial to achieving your goals - but sometimes there's a stone in those gears. And we call them mindset gremlins - those unwanted beliefs that creep in at the most inopportune of times and add roadblocks to success.
In this episode, we're diving in on 3 mindset gremlins that we've evicted in our own business.
Every goal needs action to move from idea to done - but far too often the path from start to finish gets overcomplicated.
But moving from point A to point Z doesn't need to have a complex achievement structure. And while achieving your goal will certainly have more than 4 tasks to complete, you can speed up achieving your goal by breaking it down into 4 larger steps.
In this episode we're breaking down the 4 step process that we bring every single one of our business goals through.
Want a realistic look at how much time it's really going to take to achieve your goals?
Tracking your time is an incredible exercise that helps you to figure out your most productive time of the day. It's a zero judgement way to reflect on the best way you work, the best time you work, and how many hours you truly have to dedicate to your goals.
In this episode you'll hear:
- how time tracking can help you turn a busy day into a productive day
- why trying to fit into the productivity mold of other entrepreneurs will
- why there is no "bad" or "good" way to spend your time
- how knowing your most productive time of day can make your goal-getting timeline expectations more realistic

Releasing control - aka detaching from the outcome - is one of the most difficult things to do as an entrepreneur. It takes constant practice and a commitment to reframing failures as opportunities for learning.
But it's a skill that has an incredible return on emotional investment.
In this episode you'll learn:
- why it's so hard to detach from the outcome and release control in your business
- how releasing control and detaching from an outcome can lead to more success
- why outcomes should never be placed in only a "failure" or "success" column (and what to do instead)
- how releasing control does not mean that you're no longer in control
- why trusting yourself and others is the key to unlocking exponential growth

It may seem like this is an age old debate - when it comes to finding success as an entrepreneur, which is more important; mindset or strategy? Or are they equally important?
In this episode you'll hear:
- how mindset and strategy can (and should) co-exist inside your business
- why an imbalance between strategy and mindset is not only OK, it's healthy
- what to do when mindset or strategy are holding you back from moving forward on your goals

Which comes first, the plan or the action? A little like the chicken and the egg scenario, it's not a clear cut answer.
Sometimes quick and decisive action without a prior plan is the right path. You've probably heard the phrase "action creates clarity" - and it's true.
And sometimes building out a full-blown plan first is the path that will lead to the greatest chance of achieving your goal.
In this episode you'll learn:
- when immediate action without a solid plan can work in your favour
- when a solid plan is likely to have a positive impact on your goal-getting
- how writing down your goals has the potential to have a huge impact on getting them
- how to get started with creating a plan to achieve your goals

Launching any product or service and seeing it through to profitability is a huge piece of being an entrepreneur. It often requires a learning curve that needs repeating to get better launch after launch.
Physical product launches come with their own unique set of challenges and opportunities. It's a process that we've done with our Day Planner multiple times - and one that we get better at each time we do it.
We're chatting this episode about the 3 biggest lessons we've learned (and will continue to learn from) as we've scaled up the sales from the planner to sold out in 2021. But these lessons also apply to services and digital products as well - it's a don't miss episode if you've got a product in the pipelines.

If you're looking to take your productivity to the next level, it might seem counterintuitive to schedule in time to rest through your day.
But it's an often forgotten ingredient in the productivity pie. Focused work is only one small slice of that pie but it gets an awful lot of attention.
In this episode we're discussing the importance of building in rest day to day, but also over longer stretches - and why being mindful of resting and taking breaks is a boost to your productivity and success.
Entrepreneurs face a huge amount of pressure to hustle and be more productive and often turn to multitasking to manage their day.
But did you know, multitasking reduces time efficiency by up to 40%? It's a wild statistic, we know! But that's a lot of time when you want to achieve a goal quickly.
In this episode, you'll hear all about...
Schedules - one of the least sexy topics in entrepreneurship. But also one that has an incredible return on investment of you time. A schedule allows time and space to do both the things you need to do as well as the things you want do as an entrepreneur.
We're discussing the 3 things that we believe every entrepreneur needs to have in their daily schedule (along with some of our real life examples).
So often, entrepreneurs measure success in terms of external metrics. We're tackling this phenomenon today - and why it's not necessarily the best way to define success.
So if you've ever struggled with the comparison game - this episode's for you!
Its time for you to redefine success on your own terms - you (and your business) deserve it.
The Vision Board Course
Moving forward on your goals in your business requires you to take action - but what do you do when you lack either motivation or know how?
We're answering that in this episode - a discussion on how racking up the little wins early in a process leads you to more confidence and an avalanche of productivity.
"Done is better than perfect" (but is it?)
We've all heard the above quote. But we take a slightly different approach to the done vs perfect conversation. We believe that "done to the best of your ability is better than perfect".
Listen in as we discuss how we define "perfect", knowing how to break the rules effectively, and imposter syndrome (that obnoxious pervasive success gremlin that holds people back).
The Vision Board Course
Passion and profit do not need to be mutually exclusive - instead, consider them together. Because when your passion is expressed properly, you can generate profit (without ignoring the human element in business).
Listen in as we chat about transforming passion into profit.
As huge fans of systems - we wanted to have a discussion about creative flow within systems and whether creativity gets stifled inside of processes.
Listen in as we tackle...
Marketing does not need to be overwhelming. With a systematic approach to tackling the wide world of marketing your offer you can make sales more consistently.
We're talking today about the three most important things you need to make more sales...matching your message to the right market at the right time.
What exactly do these terms mean? Aren't they the same thing?
They are completely separate (yet still related) necessary groups of activities - but your business does rely on both for growth.
Listen in as we share which one earns you money - and which one keeps your business growth stable. And how to make sure they are as balanced as possible.
Your business needs you to show up and take action in order to be successful - but sometimes you lack the motivation. Or sometimes you don't know why you're not doing "the things".
It all comes down to your subconscious - and how your relationship with it shapes decision making.
Listen in as we go beyond the neuroscience of motivation and share some actionable strategies to break through inaction (strategies we use every day in our own business).
There's a lot that the world still doesn't quite "get" about introverts and today we're having a discussion about the need to be alone vs. loneliness - particularly as an introvert.
Hustle culture - aka "work, work, work until you succeed" is one of the most dangerous belief systems for introverted entrepreneurs.
Int this episode, we're breaking down why leaving behind hustle culture is one of the most important things you can do for your business - and your belief in yourself as an entrepreneur.
We love a good to-do list - but they can quickly get overwhelming. You can take back control of that list with this easy strategy...
Putting all those tasks into the proper spot: ditch it, delegate it, delay it or do it.
The 4 D's of getting that to-do list under control - and we're talking all about how this strategy is the perfect stepping stone to improved productivity.
And - we're giving some clarity about how to manage the "do it" column tasks by taking a priority based approach to getting all those tasks done.
Goals - everybody's got 'em. But are they set up in a way that makes sense for your business right now.
You've probably heard about SMART goals before - and maybe even tried them out.
They're at the core of all of our programs here at Success and the Shy Girl and we're going to share why we think they're such a powerful goal-getting tool.
We're starting in on a new series - Marketing for Introverts.
And in the first episode of this series, we're talking about offers and sales pages from an introvert perspective.
Listen in as we have a conversation about:
We had a question (actually a comment) which we know often runs through the minds of introverted entrepreneurs - and we know this because this is at the core of the work we do with clients.
"What if I'm too introverted to be successful in my business?"
In this episode we're breaking this question down - and giving some strategies to challenge this belief.
Because spoiler alert - your introversion is a powerful tool for business growth, not a flaw that needs fixing.
Your introversion is a wholly unique experience - a single element of your personality which the world around us has boiled down to some seriously inaccurate misconceptions.
We're diving deep into our own unique experiences of introversion in this episode - and chatting about how the wider world around us gets introversion all wrong when they talk about it.
Listen in as we chat about how our introversion has shaped our lives as adults and as entrepreneurs.
The words you use when framing your work as an entrepreneur matter. And they matter greatly.
We're chatting in this episode about one specific phrase that seems to be popping up more and more, particularly on social media. And while well-intentioned, the phrase "Dream Chaser" could be stopping you from crossing the finish line on your goals.

Can we chat about the word "NO" for a minute? No is an important word for any entrepreneur - especially those of us who are introverts. Knowing when and how to say no helps create healthy boundaries - and can help you move your business forward in alignment with your priorities, dreams and goals.
But there's an equally important word that you need to embrace as an entrepreneur. YES.
And we're tackling the art of saying "yes" this episode.

Marketing is an essential ingredient to running a profitable business. But marketing can feel like an overwhelming topic to tackle and take on - especially for an introverted entrepreneur.
But marketing is not sneaky, it's not rude and it's not about the hustle. It's about solving a problem - it's a generous act.

We all think we know what introversion is. People only need to look as far as social media to discover there's a deep misunderstanding of introversion. It's not about being anti-social, people-hating hermits. In fact, we're not any of those things - and we think it's time to change that conversation.
Join us as we have a conversation about what being an introvert actually is - and what it isn't. And after years of building businesses as introverts, we want to make sure that our fellow introverted entrepreneurs feel seen, heard and understood.
Consider this a crash course on introversion - and why it's so important to ensure you're making sure your need for downtime is prioritized when working in your business.
