Have you thought about consciousness? It's mind bending.
I recently read Conscious: A Brief Guide To The Fundamental Mystery of The Mind and it was SO good.
In this episode I share the mind bending takeaways from that book and how it applies to using your in business to create money.
Episode 209: Are you working this summer?
I am!!
What I'm NOT doing though is working all summer. I'm not missing out on lazy days with nothing to do and a pool and beach that calls my name.
So I'm getting intentionally.
In this episode I ask myself THREE questions that helped me access the most fun version of my business and how it's in my control to create.
Plus I share my answers with you to help prompt YOUR brainstorming.
It's summer time.
Time for adjusted scheduled, sunscreen and impromptu gatherings.
I hope this episode helps you do that AND grow your business.
Are you selling 1:1 coaching and going back and forth wondering if you should post your price or NOT post your price?
This podcast is for YOU.
The role of marketing is to help our audience THINK certain thoughts.
What they think when they encounter your content will determine what they do or don't do next.
We see this in videos that say, "this apple" but really it's an avocado. When you go the comments it's FULL of people commenting on them using the wrong word.
They get free engagement because they got someone to think, "what! that's not an apple" and then they take action to comment and watch.
That's what I dig into around posting your price.
I explore the difference in thoughts someone might think when they see a price.
There is no right choice. Deciding and NOT thinking about this at all is the best choice in fact.
If you want a more neutral look at the pros & cons of posting pricing or not check out another podcast I did on this topic, episode 162 back from Nov. of 2022.
Disappointment seems like a bad thing when the mind is on default avoiding it.
It's not though.
It's exactly what you and your business goals need.
In this episode I break down...
- What resisting disappointment looks like (so you know if you're accidentally doing it)
- 6 advantages of experiencing disappointment (these will surprise you)
- 9 quick suggestion for risking disappointment today
Episode 206: Paid ads are often portrayed in extremes...
Either a magical ATM or the flakey villain.
Paying to grow your audience isn't either of those.
It's simple, it's complicated, it's hard, it's easy, it's self-torture and it's fun!
And even though all of those are true for paying to grow your audience there are BENEFITS of using this tool.
In this episode I break those down. I wish someone had said this to me earlier and so I'm saying it to you.
What content do I give away for free and what content do I charge for?
You asked it and it's being answered here.
In this Q&A episode of the Brain Game I help you map out the difference between your paid content and your free content.
This question ultimately ties into the FLOW of your business.

Episode 204: Would you like to feel PROUD more often?
❌ Without doing more.
❌ Without hitting more major milestones.
❌ Without waiting for people to lavish those sweet words of praise on you (that you will immediately release back into the wild).
Feeling proud is often tied to the above mentioned things.
Instead of being a feeling you hold in your body as a HUMAN.
Your skill feeling proud just as yourself…will then flow INTO your business and making money.
In this episode I break down how to do it, even when there isn’t anything impressive to point to.
This is feeling proud…WEIRDO edition.
Because what you will feel proud of will make you kind of feel like a weirdo.
But like the happiest one ever.
Episode 203: You’re building a business…it’s NORMAL for things to NOT work.
But there are TWO flavors of experiencing when things don’t work in your business.
In this episode I show you the dramatic difference when what isn’t working is flavored with defeat versus annoyance.
If your challenges are weighing you down…this episode is for you.
YES you’re making things harder than they need to be.
YES you have blocks and unhelpful ways of seeing things.
And…
That’s okay.
Especially when you use goals. Goals help you run face first into those obstacles so you can work through them and build on top of them.
In this episode I share a block I discovered in the most unexpected way.
In this week’s episode I invite you to a habit that will both direct your mind AND shift how you’re feeling in your business.
It’s the habit of feeling like you’re winning.
Not just seeing how you’re progressing but FEELING it.
Turning winning into an action you do and feel.
Episode 200: You aren’t starting from scratch as you grow your business.
You have a past to lean into about who you are, how capable you are of doing things you've never done and how you handle the struggle of getting what you want.
When you see others killing it quickly, they are leaning into skills they brought TO their business.
In this episode I share what I brought to my business so your own examples can become clear to you.
Your business doesn’t need you to know everything, it needs you to remember how capable you are though. To see it, to feel it…which will lead to seeing and feeling more of it.
Episode 199: When a coach tells me they’re not taking action or aren’t having FUN taking action.
Fun meaning ideas are flowing from them and they’re doing those ideas in service of who they help.
It usually comes down to the topic of today’s podcast.
They are stuck in perfectionism.
Stuck wanting to do things “right” or “really well”.
Which leads to no action or painfully slow action…on things you actually WANT to do to connect with your people.
If you can relate. Today’s episode is for you.
Don’t worry, you don’t need to “overcome” your habits of wanting what you do to be great.
I’ll help you light your fire and get into action with this simple mental adjustment.
Check out episode 199 of the Brian Game to listen.
Episode 198 – Goals are more than just a number and a date…
In this episode I break down 3 ways a goal helps you WIN.
Even if you don’t hit the goal on the first try.
If you only think your air fryer is for warming up pizza…you’re going to think it’s OKAY.
When you realize what else it can do though, you get excited to use it.
It’s the same with goals.
Episode 197: I recently wrote mine and sobbed…basically the whole time.
Surface level, this sounds like we’re just doing some journaling.
But the impact of this exercise is so big I don’t want you to accidentally put it at the back of your list thinking it’s just a fun thing to do.
This exercise helps you…
- Create perspective of 2023
- Connect with YOU (past you, current you and future you)
- Prepare yourself for your next goal…so you bring less of the drama and tenderness to it.
Check out the podcast for more on each of these PLUS some prompts of what you may want to weave into this letter.
Episode 196 – in this week's episode I share a behind the scenes of the tech I use to run my business as well as the filter I use to make sure I’m not falling into the black hole of tech.
Episode 195: Sales and marketing can make it easy to believe that growing a business is easy if you just have the right method or mentor.
In this episode...I normalize 6 pieces of business. So you can stop thinking something has gone wrong and own the playfulness of figuring it out.
Episode 194: If you have perfectionist tendencies...wanting to get something right and perfect the first try, today's episode is for you.
In this episode I teach you a mental process that will allow you to:
- Create / Finish new ideas or projects
- In a way that feels easy, simple and fun for YOU
- Making sure the next round is EVEN better
You can use this to launch a new offer, launch an old offer, start a podcast or finally build that funnel.
Your perfectionist habits won't harass you using this method.
They may still beckon you over to consider them...but they won't feel like you've captured you and are holding you captive as you drown in all the pressure you put on yourself as you try to do it perfectly.
Episode 193 – It’s silly but fun…and will help you get results faster when you buy group coaching.
We all know the oldest child wants everyone to be happy…
They think they need to figure everything out on their own and even though they bought the group program it feels weird to ask for help.
In this episode of the Brain Game…we playfully explore what it would be like to approach group coaching environments like a Youngest Child.
You’ll chuckle with how our birth order impacts how we show up…but more importantly you’ll get faster results when you are in a group coaching environment.
Episode 192 -- In this week's episode I introduce to you the idea of a Plateau Business.
The first skill of building a business is learning how to create money.
The next skill though?
Identifying the business you actually want to have.
The business that...
- Feels simple (you know what to do and have the habits in place)
- Runs smoothly (their is rhythm to your marketing and selling and most problems are decisions or adjustments)
- Pays you consistently (an amount you LOVE)
- Allows mental space for the rest of your life
A Plateau Business is what you've been looking for.
In the 6 Month Steady mastermind we build yours out, so the work you're doing isn't focused on "making more money" but lines up with the exact business you want to run.
Episode 191: In this week’s episode I teach you how to build mental structure for WHEN you make an offer…and people don’t buy.
I say WHEN because it's going to happen...it's part of making offers and selling.
How you think when it happens will determine:
-
Your ability to see what to tweak (and learn from yourself)
-
How quickly you're ready to try again
Episode 190: Everything in your business revolves around your offer.
Does it need an Energy Check?
- Do you feel connected to it?
- In love with talking about it, overflowing with ideas?
- Eager to deliver the offer and connect with your best client type?
An energy check is exploring what comes up when you think about your offer.
Especially if something just doesn't seem right and you know you're not showing up and selling it to your fullest capacity.
This podcast is a the teaching part of a live training happening September 21st, 2023. Thursday we do the coaching.
Your mind knows what's bothering it. I'll help you navigate that and we'll solve for what your mind offers you together.
So when you're done you feel amazing about your offer and eager to talk about it.

The next group of the 6-Week Sprint starts the first week of October. Are you joining us?
Check out this episode for all the reasons you want to!
https://elizabethsalazarcoaching.com/6-week-sprint/
Episode 189: Today's episode is more personal than normal.
Often we hear about the inspiring and shiny parts of business and growth.
This episode though is about the hard parts. Over the last 2 years I've been in a low part of my business, my "dark era".
This is part of business too. My experience isn't often shared but I know it's normal.
Episode 188: This episode is a meditation to help you unwind tightly woven bundles of negative emotion.
Whether this emotion is triggered from your business or your personal life…it’s here.
The mind's default coping mechanisms for this bundle of emotion is to avoid it or resist it.
But you know it’s still affecting you because your chest and shoulders feel tight and fast.
Little things that normally don’t bother…you find yourself lashing out about.
Almost as if the emotion you’re feeling is rolling down a hill, gathering up everything around it that feels similar.
This meditation will help you stop that cycle.
To come back to this moment where you’re in control of your mind and emotions.
We’ll unravel that ball of tight negative emotion so you can feel peaceful in your body and get back to what matters.
This episode is yours to use whenever you need it.
In August I’m opening doors to my 6 month coaching offer.
A new feature is the private podcast.
It will focus your mind in a money making way, help you process through emotions, help you connect with yourself and how you want to do business.
So as you build your dream business, it’s with a clear mind, calm energy and feeling deeply connected to yourself, your offer and the impact of your work on your best clients.
Episode 187 – Launching can feel scary and be a lot of work.
You make decisions, write emails, create structure…all without really knowing if anyone will actually buy.
In this episode I share a peek behind the scenes of my business. I recently launched a 6-week group for 10 people. I called it the 6-Week Sprint.
It sold out in just a few days.
That statement though…the one about selling out in 4 days, that’s we ALWAYS here from businesses.
And sure, great for them right? This episode though is everything that was happening in my mind and with setup while that happened.
I share what motivated me to offer 10 more spots after those first 10 sold even though my mind was telling me, “this was a mistake, we should have just let it all be done”.
This episode…is the real stuff.
I hope you hear this and let your first launch or next launch…be way easier.
Episode 186: In goal setting there is the big end goal AND the sub-goals.
People often talk about this in terms of knowing "why" you want a goal.
In this episode I make this "why" tactical.
Yes your WHY will motivate you and keep you going but the specifics of your why help your brain be onboard too.
The specific reasons you want a goal (your why) will allow your brain to WIN the whole way to goal.
So while getting it is amazing...not getting it isn't awful.
The brain feels safer to go after goals when this is the case.
Episode 185: Have you heard about the 6-Week Sprint yet?
In this episode I give you all the details.

Episode 184: In this episode we’re getting SPECIFIC with why you don’t like being on social media.
This way you know where you need to work through in order to show up for your big goals.
Your business goals require something of YOU personally.
To reach more people you may need to reach more people or have more access to testing messaging.
And working through your gunk so you can show up and use social media as a tool for your dreams…may be part of that.
Disliking social media is VAGUE.
In this episode we get specific with 7 reasons and help you start processing through them.
Specific reasons like…
- You’ve boxed yourself into a specific social (instead of choosing on purpose)
- You don’t want to share your personal life or be an “influencer”
- It’s a lot of work and isn’t creating consults or clients
- You’re comparing yourself to others thinking you should be doing it differently
- You’re focusing on YOU and paralyzed
- Afraid to be criticized or disagreed with
- Believing you SHOULD be using it
If you’re on IG…come into my space there and see if you like how it feels!

Episode 65: Do you find yourself buying courses and following paths of interest because of excellent marketing and selling that catches your attention?
In today’s episode I teach you a simple technique (plus lots of examples) for how to identify what you really want from that content.
This will help calm your mind, effectively look at what you’re buying with time or money and then get exactly what you want from it.
Episode 64: When you set a big money goal, it’s normal to have doubts and uncertainty.
In this episode, I walk you through an exercise I use with my clients to categorize the doubts that make going after a money goal feel hard.
With this technique you won’t ever need to “believe harder” or wonder if you’re missing something…you can do this exercise and feel the weight lifted and the instant increase of your belief.
Making using today for your goal…more fun and light.
Episode 63 – Emotion training for coaches building their online business.
In this episode we dig into the emotion of ownership.
WHY build the skill of feeling an emotion like ownership?
It directly links to…
- Creating money in your business
- Your ability to see HOW you’ve created money already
- Your joy setting goals and doing what it takes to hit them
- How you experience and use today…for your goals
This podcast is emotional training.
You’ll see the difference between taking ownership (an action) and feeling the sensation of ownership in your body.
You’ll be guided through identifying the sensation of ownership in your body plus guided through language that will help you put words to what you’re experiencing in your body.
You’ll be introduced to the opposite of ownership…and how those emotions can create the illusion of being “far away” from accessing your sense of ownership over your business and results.
You’ll see what you have ownership over beyond what you do so you feel in control of your results, yourself and can delight in the process of setting and hitting business goals.
Episode 62 – In the online world there is a lot of weight given to having a specific niche and specific result you help your clients get with your coaching.
And if you know a specific result and love it…then it works.
This episode though is for all of you that DON’T have a specific result and still want to help people with coaching.
Episode 61 – there are 3 parts at play as you grow your online business. In this podcast, we look at each and how they impact the growth of your business.
Most coaches are VERY familiar with the external realm of online business. The parts they use to build the business; webinars, email marketing, social media.
Then there is the spiritual realm. Learning to create gratefulness, presence and to quiet your mind instead of believing all of your thoughts.
The last realm is the internal realm. It’s that PUSH that fuels your external pieces.
In this episode we break down in detail what’s in the Internal Realm and how it helps you hit goals, make money and grow your business.
Episode 60 – It’s kind of annoying to WANT things but realize that you’re not actually doing what it takes to make those goals a reality.
Most people see themselves NOT going after their goals and then tell themselves they’re…
- Procrastinating
- Blocked
- Don’t have time
Then instead of going AFTER their goals they start consuming content that helps them be more productive, work through blocks or manage their time.
Those are great skills…ONCE you’re focused on your goal.
In this episode, we break through what you REALLY need to do in order to bring those goals to life.
Once you do this you’ll feel the difference, you’ll see how you think differently about the goal and you’ll start showing up for what you want.
Episode 59 – How often do you feel CURIOUS?
Emotions are a tool that can be created and used in your business.
In this episode I teach you how to identify the sensation of curiosity so you can create it for situations that you need you to slow down and learn.
Learning to feel and create the emotion of curiosity gives you access to its natural effects.
Feeling curious leads you to listen, put your opinion to the side, ask questions, follow your inclinations and slow down.
Curiosity is a tool to see data in your business like a $0 month, 4 consults, $18k month or details of a training…and get useful information from it before moving on.
Episode 58 – Every entrepreneur I know wants financial security.
It often sounds like wanting “consistent income”...but that’s just old job thinking.
When you’re an entrepreneur you may have a $4,000 month, a $34,000 month and a $7,000 month.
It’s the normal flow of business, selling and delivery.
In this episode give you a way of thinking about structuring what happens AFTER you bring money in so you can create security for yourself.
This way of structuring your money takes care of you AND the business.
It flips the script on creating money so that it becomes a fun game, instead of a number you have to hit to pay for everything.
Episode 57 – Thoughts have power. In this episode I share a thought I stumbled upon and have seen clear changes in my behavior just thinking it.
This episode offers this thought to try on but it also helps you slow down and SEE the impact of thoughts.
You don’t need to hustle your thinking to create more results you want.
There is power in just one thought.
Episode 56: Do you love the idea of setting goals…but are reluctant to set them after not hitting them?
In this episode we shift how you experience having a specific goal with a timeframe.
The pressure and stress while you go after a goal are optional and as you’ve probably discovered can happen even when you don’t have a goal and timeframe.
There is something you ONLY get when you have them though and that something makes goals feel easy and fun again.
Episode 55: In business it's easy to be so focused on the outcome of creating money that you forget why your person WANTS to pay you.
My husband pays our girls $1 for creating a book.
The girls LOVE it and for a while were confused why creating a book quickly and without effort wasn't rewarded with a dollar.
Once they understand why he WANTS to pay them though...they were able to create what they want (money) while giving him what he wants).
In this episode I break down what this looks like for your COACHING business.
Plus 2 questions to ask yourself so you can access why your best person wants to pay you money and how to see that in a non-marketing way that draws in who you actually want to work with.
Episode 54: In this episode I share my new favorite book for using your mind.
When we learn to turn our awareness on (thoughts and feelings) we do it for the UPSIDE.
We don’t consider the downside that happens when you become aware of your thoughts and feelings.
That downside is that you...
- start looking at your thoughts and feelings a lot
- have unwanted thoughts, patterns you see in yourself and know aren’t helpful but can’t seem to get out of
- wonder if this experience of yourself is normal (or if maybe you're high functioning crazy)
This book speaks in simple words, focuses on the issue (instead of TEACHING you) and then gives you a very tangible way of processing that issue.
Episode 53: In this week's episode I'm helping you BREAK the habit of searching for what you don’t know.
If you’ve read books, listened to podcasts, bought courses, hired someone or asked someone for feedback because you KNOW you’re…
- Missing something
- Hoping someone else can show you what you can’t see
This episode is for you.
I also break down 4 beliefs to use as you RE-train your mind out of this loop.
Episode 52: When you start a coaching business you’ll notice that everyone online sells something different.
It can be overwhelming deciding what to sell.
In this episode I share my opinion on why all coaches should start with 1:1 coaching and WHY.
I break down what the selling process looks like so you brain doesn’t accidentally think a lower price (of group) is what will cause people to buy.
I also outline 3 elements to have in place BEFORE you sell group:
- Know exactly how you sign clients (and feel confident doing it)
- Build an audience of people that know you, want to hire you and DO hire you
- Know how to help your clients work through what’s stopping them and get the results they want
Selling and delivering 1:1 coaching prepares you for the bigger business you imagine and even see others running now.
You prepare yourself for your dreams 1 client at a time.
Episode 51: this week's episode is answering a question a client asked this week.
“Should I be telling people my expertise and why they should coach with me?”
I break down what this looks like in person, online and when and how to totally sprinkle your expertise in.
Most importantly…what ENERGY to be in when you’re sprinkly your brilliance around for people to see.
Hint…it’s NOT from a fear you’re not an expert or the desire to prove yourself.
Episode 50: hiring a coach is FUN.
It’s even more fun when you know what each type of coach does and how that helps YOUR business get closer to your goals.
In this episode we talk through 11 types of coaches and the one thing you need to know before you choose your next coach.
Episode 49: if you struggle to explain what you do or have been working on your elevator pitch for way longer than you want to admit…today’s episode is for you.
It’s easy to get hung up developing a 1-liner that’s sexy and grabs people’s attention.
But you don’t need one to sign clients and build your business.
In this episode I walk you through exactly what it looks like to market online AND in person, even if you don’t have a 1-liner.
I share with you the 3-types of people you’ll run into every time you share the simple version of what you do.
Knowing these 3-types of people exist will help you focus on the ones who are actually interested in what you do while not letting the others get you down.
Episode 48: coaches keep themselves stuck with their niche and offer because they're TOO specific.
In this episode I show you how simple (yet effective) your niche can be and what it looks like to use all that detail in your marketing instead.
Episode 47: Do you look at your money data 1-2x a month? What comes in and what goes out? This data will help you create more money.
Even if that data is $0.
In this episode, I teach you how to learn from money data when you make $0, blow your goal out of the water and land somewhere in between.
I also teach you how to look at that data and identify what to do differently for next month.
This way, “do more, better” is never the answer but rather something way more helpful and do-able.
Episode 46: How are you feeling about selling in December?
- Dreading it?
- Wishing you were more present with your own family?
- Eager for it?
In today’s episode, we go through 3 common beliefs that will STOP you from selling in December…or make it feel hard.
Plus, I share a question to ask yourself that will spark your passion, excitement and love selling coaching this month.
Episode 45: your skill using your mind is the difference between enjoying your experience of business, making lots of money…and not.
In this episode I show you what mindset looks like in a very actionable way throughout my work day.
How I use it to make decisions, work through what’s bothering me, focus on goals and manage emotions.
There is no one way to use your mind and this will give you access to ways you may want to use too.
Episode 44: as a coach, do you post your prices so people know before they book a call…or wait until the call to share the price?
This is a really common question.
In this episode I help you make a decision for your business by helping you understand…
- What doesn’t change whether you post the price or not
- The benefit of not posting the price and who that might be best for
- The benefit of posting the price and this is best for
As you listen to the benefits of each I guarantee you’ll hear nuggets you’ve never thought of that will change how you approach either option.
Episode 43: when you’re creating an offer, who are you thinking about?
A current client? Past client? Future client?
In this episode we talk about the difference between building an offer for each of these and which creates the most self-permission and enjoyment.
Episode 42: growing your business requires a balance of productivity and creativity.
In this episode, we explore 4 ways to spark and nurture creativity.
Episode 41: In this episode I teach you a 3-step process you can use to explore how you might be preventing consults..keeping people who want to hire you at bay.
Keep doing this work with me in An Unconventional Business School.
Episode 40: the easiest way to work a lot in your coaching business but not see the results you want…is to not understand the structure of your business.
In this episode we look at the two parts of structure in your business; setup & running.
Following this structure you get feedback when you’re marketing so you know what’s working, you do a few things well instead of a lot of things sporadically and you problem solve the right areas instead of changing the parts you’re most familiar with.
In this episode we talk about an Unconventional Business School. You can learn more about it and join by clicking here.
Episode 39: Your offer is the foundation of your business. Both in the structure of how it directs who and what you talk about but also in the mind you build while creating your offer which flows into how you market and sell.
In this episode we cover common issues coaches have that might be mistaken as a marketing issue but actually stems from an unclear offer.
Mentioned in this episode: Build Your Offer Mini Course
Episode 38: This is the episode you listen to and never wonder about your niche again.
The purpose of a niche is to direct who you speak to, what you talk about, where you find them and what you help them with.
I struggled with my niche all while selling multiple six-figures of coaching a year.
Struggling with your niche doesn’t mean you can’t help people. You can.
Not worrying about it though means you can focus on the other pillars of growing a business; your sales process and growing your audience.
If you want LIVE help with your offer and the process you use to deliver on that offer, join the mini course mentioned on the podcast.

Episode 37: who are you creating content for? Inside of every category of people...there are subcategories. A painful mistake coaches make is speaking to the version of their person who wants their offer the least.
In this episode we break down how to know if you're talking to the right people based on the painful side effects and how this focus looks in your automated emails sequence.
Episode 36: there are the flashy parts of being an entrepreneur and there are the other parts that are also true.
In this episode I talk about both so as you experience the normal parts of being an entrepreneur you don't make them mean something has gone wrong but rather see them as part of the process.
Episode 35: in this episode I share some advice I gave a friend who was feeling bad after a consult.
You’ll hear how I learn from a situation even if I don’t know much, what that sounds like and how I walk away feeling like I won even in a situation I didn't get the result I thought I might.
This is a more casual podcast but as always the interaction with how my mind thinks will help change and shift how you think too.
Episode 34: the point of a goal is to focus your attention and shift how you normally do things so you can create a new result.
There are 4 approaches you can take to focus your attention on a goal.
In this episode we dig into them plus the little details that make each easier and more fun to do.
The first way is my favorite.
Setting a yearly goal…
by becoming the person and creating the business, that that goal is the norm for.
Most people get hung up with this approach because they think growth is supposed to happen in equally divided chunks.
It’s not.
Normal growth is up and down and you can still hit a yearly goal, even if you’re currently “not on track”.
Head over and listen and see which way of goal setting lights you up.
Episode 33: time has a very specific role in your business…in this episode we uncover what that role is and what it isn’t.
❌Time doesn’t create change.
❌Time doesn’t create money or goals.
👉🏼 You do.
✔️ You use time to create a future for yourself that doesn’t exist yet and won’t exist if you keep using time the way you have in the past.
✔️ You use time to give you space to have ideas, make decisions, bring your ideas to life and then learn from those ideas.
✔️ You use time to build and develop a mind that creates the future you want as a normal habit.
✔️ You use time to build the skills and habits that match the future you’re creating.
Check out episode 33 of the Build Your Coaching Business podcast to try on a new way of thinking about and using time for your goals.
Episode 32 – the structure and strategy of your business are the LEAST interesting parts.
You create an offer, your offer determines what you talk about and to who…you choose where to show up based on where your people are and your preferences. You practice converting.
This seems simple. But we both know it’s not.
The reason it’s not actually though is THE MIND.
It takes that simplicity and scrambles it up like eggs in a hot pan.
Suddenly you’re not sure you’re an expert, you’re confused about what and where to be focusing and you’re doing so much stuff you can’t even fathom adding more to the list.
You’re exhausted.
You feel bad a lot. (overwhelmed, unsure, nervous, inadequate)
And the brain wants somewhere to place that blame so it can STOP it…
And so it blames “building a business” or “people don’t want this”.
In episode 32 of the Build Your Coaching Business podcast…I share what mindset tangibly looks like in your business.
I show you how a simple thought like “I don’t know if I can get it all done” snowballs into doing strange things that don’t get the list done…plus the exact questions I used to shift my mind out of this space and into one that gets me the results I want.
Episode 31: Think Few Thoughts.
In this episode we move past the setup and logistics of business and focus on the day to day experience.
I’ve never met anyone who says they want to build a business with a mind running fast with everything they need to do and think about.
Instead coaches say they want to feel calm, focused and clear on what they do and when.
Thinking fewer thoughts creates a calm mind and simpler access to what you WANT to be thinking about (rather than just what is being throw at you as urgent to think about).
The key to thinking FEWER thoughts is to see & remove the default thought steam. (which thankfully also removes the emotional experience)
I share a 4 step process for this on the podcast. But it does require some knowledge of self-coaching. If you don’t have that, don’t worry I teach it inside An Unconventional Business School.
Once you see what would have been running on default (which is often negative)..
You establish 1-2 simple thoughts that you ALSO believe in place for when you need to think them.
I share 5 areas every coach experiences in their business on the podcast but let me show you an example:
Area: consult said yes, 1st call is scheduled, they haven’t paid yet
Built Thought: We have a call scheduled for ___, she either comes or she doesn’t (if she hasn’t paid by then, I’ll ask her about it then)
It’s simple.
It’s true.
It leaves zero room for your mind to chatter, worry or wonder.
It leaves room for all possibilities.
The objective…no brain space is spent on THIS area when it could be focused in more productive ways.
The other 5 areas we develop thoughts on episode 31 are:
- New client, scheduled but not paid yet
- Right before a consult
- After a consult: YES
- After a consult: NO or maybe
- No consults currently booked
Creating a calm mind that knows where to think and can gently hold those thoughts CREATES a calm and peaceful experience of your business.
So all your nervousness and uncertainty can be on new problems that you are learning how to solve in your growing coaching business.

Episode 30: Anytime you are showing up to your business but still not getting the results you want…there are layers to look at.
These layers help you focus in a way that creates change TOWARDS your goal.
In this week’s episode I share a statement I overheard a coach say. “If I just show up and am myself, I’ll attract my people”
I break this into layers of what’s awesome about it AND what’s missing.
While we’re always missing things and doing what we can with what we have access to…this episode will make sure you’re not missing this piece like she was.

Episode 29: Exposure Mindset
The point of mindset is to direct your mind beyond and outside of what it thinks and does right now SO THAT you can create new results.
There is a piece of exposure though that makes a HUGE difference and is the difference between hanging out in your own head and knowledge and expanding it more quickly.
In this episode we talk about exposure mindset. What it is. What it looks like. What to be leery of as you do it.
Episode 28: You want more clients. It's a normal part building a business.
But neediness can work it's way in before you know it.
- Creating content specifically wanting people to book a call and being frustrated when they don't.
- Focusing on all the ways you're showing up but how nothing is working.
- Allowing your lack of the clients or consults spin you out or avoid your business
In this podcast, I share 4 areas you can focus to DRASTICALLY reduce this neediness. You don't need it to go away completely. And getting it to go away barely even involves addressing it but rather knowing where to focus instead.
Episode 27: in today’s episode we’re breaking down convergent and divergent thinking and how they show up in business.
One way of thinking allows you to give yourself choices and choose the “right” answer for you.
And the other way of thinking allows you to stop looking for the right answer, realize all the answers that are available and choose the way you want to choose.
Episode 26: when you think the thought “it’s not working” do you feel like it’s a calm observation?
OR
does it feel full of negative emotions like defeat, inadequateness or shame?
In this episode I talk about how both of these experiences of that thought are possible and how each option causes you to see and problem solve differently.
Episode 25: In this episode we create a visual that will help you separate yourself from your desires and your business.
This will help you…
see what you most desire
build and become aware of your identity and experience of you
look at your business as the vehicle you create your desires
Episode 24: That goal you set, do you believe you'll hit it?
In this episode we talk about how believing isn’t a yes/no question…and instead comes down to a commitment to believing with frequency.
Believing is never supposed to happen without the unknown, they go together.
Your willingness to believe with frequency will determine the thoughts you have about your goal, how you feel along the way and how well you stay focused on who you are helping instead of accidentally on yourself.
Belief creates money.
(if even the word "belief" seems confusing to you, because it is...don't worry I break that down into simple language too)
Episode 23: there are 4 areas you can invest in your business as a coach for the highest impact.
In this episode we break each of those down.
There are TWO invisible variables that will be present if you find yourself reluctant to invest. We cover those as well so you see clearly what is fueling or stopping your investment habits.
Episode 22: Setting goals and achieving goals are two blips of the process…but the real magic happens in the middle.
The part where you don’t yet have the goal.
Most people make their business experience miserable because of how they manage THIS phase of goals.
They justify it by idolizing the victory they feel at the end of a goal but we both know what happens then….
You set another goal.
When you enjoy the process of hitting your goals, you enjoy your business and everything becomes game-like.
Episode 21: emotions are like this magical element that’s in our control, but often forgotten.
It today’s episode we look at how you can do the normal pieces of your business like launching, setting goals and writing emails and use both working and done emotions to make the experience more enjoyable.

Episode 20: between every coach and more clients/consults/money are pretty common stumbling blocks.
They are normal things that the mind uses to be confused and undecided.
A common stumbling block are niches.
In this episode we talk about what niches are (direction you give yourself), exactly what that direction looks like and beliefs that might be keeping you stuck on the idea of your niche.
Episode 19: This year I brought how I think about goals into my birthday. A birthday is just the ending of one year and the start of another. And when I am thinking of goals that moment between the two is when I very intentionally think.
In today's episode, I'm sharing 3 categories of thinking you can use today to think about yourself aging, your past and your future.
Don't wait until your birthday. Today is the perfect day to catch unhelpful thoughts you thought were true and choose ones that fill your soul.
Episode 18: Are you the authority running your coaching business...or are you delegating that to someone else?
It doesn't matter how much money you've made, how long you've been in business or your background.
You are the authority on and for your business.
Stepping into this mindset will free you from constantly searching outside of yourself and will help you use the tools around you to build your business instead of using those mentors and tools against yourself.
Episode 17: There is the DATA of your business and the reality.
- You want to send 2 emails and you sent 1.
- You wanted to sign 3 clients, you signed 2.
- You wanted to make 10 offers, you made 7.
In this episode I introduce an alternative way to experience yourself and your business in these situations where what you wanted, doesn't match reality.
This is especially good for those of you whose default is to be mean to yourself, judge yourself or who have found they're nervous to set goals.
Episode 16: Marketing and selling board terms we use in business. They can be both helpful AND unhelpful. In today's episode we talk about what marketing and selling are in the simplest form as well as how you're always doing it.
If you find yourself believing that you aren't hitting goals because you're "not good at writing copy" or "suck at selling" today's episode is for you.
Episode 15: I’m in my 7th year of business online and as a coach. My first 2 years in business I made 6k each year.
My third year, I created $120k.
In this episode, I share what I learned in those 2 years that prepared me for that 3rd year.
Plus I share a simple trick for how to go into each year ready for it to be your best year yet…instead of fearing that it will be like the last one.

Episode 11 -- The biggest goals happen in the mundane choices we make everyday. The habits we build that become our norm. Taking what used to feel hard and making it the new norm...along with the building results that come after repeating those habits.
In today's episode, I share 6 daily success habits for both the new and seasoned coach.
We break each habit down as well as dig into why it works.
You can do my free training on these daily habits in The Daily work. Click here to get that.
Episode 10: In today’s episode I share 6 gifts you can give your future self and future business. They’re not things you buy but rather ways of thinking that will feel amazing for you and help you create possibility.
You may receive the gift just listening because of how your awareness shifts while experiencing each idea.
You may receive the gift because you choose 1 and spend 15 minutes giving it to yourself in a purposeful way.
Both are powerful and effective.
My gift to you is the realization that you can give yourself such good gifts.
Episode 9: You can double a business forever. But not if you don’t also focus on the halves you want to make to pair WITH those doubles.
In today’s episode we dig into:
- The value of double and halves to growth (why you want and need both)
- The foundation pieces that make doubling possible
- What gets in the way of doubling
In a job it would take a lot of time and skill building to double your income once and be almost unheard of to do it over and over again.
But in business that’s all possible.
You can make $6,000, 2 years in a row and then make $120k and then $300k (those were my first few years).
You can make $50k in 6 months and then make $100k in 6 months.
And when you break your own rules on what’s possible in your business, you open yourself up to creating bigger results WHILE reducing the things you want a little less of.
To listen to coaches first hand experiences with doubling and halving, be sure to check out episode 7 & 8 to hear Suzie and Jenna’s business stories.
Episode 8: Today I want to introduce you to Jenna Harrison.
Each of my clients has a different story of growth.
Your story won't look exactly like any of theirs.
Yours will be yours.
The POINT of listening to their story is so you can build your own belief in your goals, in the normal twists and turns of the process and to learn from their mind as they encourage you to keep going.
Jenna joined the mastermind wanting to grow her business and to learn how to do goals without them either burning her out or feeling like hitting them was a fluke.
She did both of those things AND the work she didn't even realize she needed as she paved the path for her growth.
Things like...
- Trusting her clients to get their results using her process (instead of spreading herself thinner with 24 hours access to her and writing all of their copy)
- Refining her process and mind while doing 1:1 coaching as a way to prepare to sell group. (instead of jumping in fast from overwhelm at the business she currently had)
- Using her mind to create results (instead of tactics and strategies)
This isn't just the story of a $100k coach.
It's the journey of a coach whose building something bigger than this year for both herself and her future clients.
This is a story of what real growth looks like.
Jenna Harrison is a business coach specializing in clarity.
Here’s how you can reach her: https://www.theuncommonway.com/
Episode 7: In today’s episode, I’m sharing Suzie Soloviev’s journey of doubling her business from $24k last year to $47k in 11 months this year.
Every coach's journey of building their business is different.
Suzie’s included things like going from 28 offers to 1, having major surgery, decreasing how much time she spent working and cycling through the lows without making them mean everything needs to change.
She is an example of what’s possible when you show up and create the business and future you want.
Suzie is a career coach for recovering perfectionists.
Share her with those you know who want to find meaning in their job again, who don’t want to be depleted at the end of the day/week and who want to make more money.

Episode 6: the only way to NOT create a result you want in your business is to stop moving towards it.
In this episode I share an example of an area of my business I was willing to keep going, what makes continuing hard and what makes continuing easier. (knowing both will help you balance into ease)
This style of creating goals will build your self-trust, reduce your urgency and help you focus on how you’re progressing even before you have the exact result you want.
Episode 5: Identifying What You’re Missing In this episode of the Build Your Coaching Business podcast, we dig into one of the top thoughts I hear coaches saying to themselves when they aren’t getting the results they want… “I must be missing something” Are you? Yes. But it’s something that is obvious and always available for you to catch and use to get yourself moving again.
Episode 4: What drives you can be looked at as your WHY, as something you’re HUNGRY for or as a motivating force.
No matter what yours is, it’s what you use while you’re in process towards your goals.
In this episode, we talk about weaving together a driving force that helps you maintain your drive without burning out. We dig into the three parts of this drive so you can create and strengthen it for yourself on demand.
Episode #3 -- Consistency is often cited as the reason a person is or isn’t creating the results they want in their coaching business.
Those coaches who struggle to create content regularly believe that to sign clients the need to just be more consistent.
But the coaches who are uber consistent with weekly trainings, 2 emails a week and daily social engagement know that you can do all of that and STILL not sign clients on the regular.
So then what’s the solution…
It’s balancing the 3 routines of consistency in your business.
- The Mental Routine (your focus)
- Engagement Routine (doing the pieces of your business)
- Self-Evaluation Routine (learning from yourself)
In this episode I break those routines down and share what they look like day to day so you can WIN at building your business instead of burning out from overworking or self-destructive criticism.

My objective in today’s episode is to help you focus on what matters so you can stop focusing on everything else.
In this episode we go through each of these decisions and what to consider as you make them so you can

Episode #1 -- Who does your best client WANT to hire?
You might put yourself in their shoes by thinking about who YOU want hire. What does the person you want to hire think about you? What does the person you want to hire think about what they're offering? What does the person you want to hire think about themselves?
These details are the difference between believing they have your best interest at heart verses theirs.
These details are the difference between you believing they can follow through or not.
These details are at the basis of the identity of a person someone wants to hire.

- How to know in minutes if you need to build your identity as a coach
- What exactly is an identity

Episode 118: This week I'm sharing Jennifer Dent Brown with you. She is a life and weight coach whose doubled her business 3x, from $37k in 12 months to $60k in 6 months to $101k in 6 months.
She shares what doing less tangibly looks like, her ah-ha's around using and directing her mind to create results and the 2-question filter she uses to focus her efforts and simplify her business.
If you're a coach whose been looking at your business as a numbers game...
If you're a coach whose been stuck at the same income year after year...
If you're a coach who is curious what doubling your business, without obsessing about doubling looks like...
Today's episode of the podcast is a MUST listen.
You can find Jennifer on her website: jenniferdent.com
Episode 117: The willingness to take action towards your goals, not knowing if that action will work...is where failure is made.
It's how businesses are built.
It today's episode we look at where the opportunity to fail BEGINS.
How to move toward figuring out what works and doesn't (failing) in order to create a $100k business and hit goals.
This episode breaks down two ways to start towards your goal and open yourself up to failure immediately. Plus what to look for when you're accidentally failing to fail and avoiding that next step.
Episode 116: For over 3 years I have given away for free a daily practice called "The Daily Work".
It's the practice I used to create my first $9,000 month and coaches since have used to fill their practice, sign clients and book more consults than they've ever had.
In today's episode, we go through the daily work, why it works and how to use it.
I share new ways I think about it and guide you through getting the most from it so you can feel the difference and see the results.
Episode 115: This week we're talking about having FUN while doubling your business.
Fun isn’t a one-size fits all word. It means and is experienced by every person differently.
What is the same for everyone though...is how fun FEELS.
- Fun is light.
- Fun is playful.
- Fun is happy.
- It’s eager to see what’s next.
- It doesn’t take itself too seriously.
We put FUN on...like a coat.
In today’s episode we’ll cover...
- The base belief: Any coach can double
- What stops us from having fun
- What FUN can look like

Episode 114: Have you felt like you don't fit in?
It's a pretty common human experience...
but one that can be costing you money in your business, emotional bandwidth and connection with amazing humans waiting for you to let yourself fit in.
In this week's episode, we talk about the Illusion of Fitting In.
WHY does this matter for your business??
Because the behavior that comes from believing you don't fit in like holding back, not including yourself and trying to be perfect...
all also show up as you buy programs or coaching.
I want you to coach with me.
I want you to be in that space fully accepting yourself, others and embracing fitting in.
So we start our in this episode ♥️
Episode 113:
Have you ever meet a Disney enthusiast?
They OOZE everything Disney.
In this episode, I break down what you can learn from a Disney enthusiast to make building your coaching business even more fun and successful.
The people who are BEST at selling, aren't trying to sell.
And those who are WORST at selling...are trying sooooo hard.
Episode 112: When you're signing your first 5 clients as a coach, there are 2 phases you master.
Phase 1: This is where you get in the AREA to sign that first client. Picture playing golf...this is the first swing. You know where you are and where you want to be but you aren't trying to get a hole in one on your first try...you're getting in the area.
Phase 2: This is where you fine tune how you create clients. So clients never feel like a fluke.
Some coaches will master getting in the area phase but not the honing phase...and their business will feel like a game of whack-a-mole, busy, frustrating and never sure where to focus.
Building a business means you master both skills. The first 5 clients is the time to do it.
You can do this work with me in my program The First 5, click here to join.
Episode 111: in this weeks episode, we dig into the ONLY 6 decisions you need to make as a coach to sign your first clients.
I remember making this SO HARD. 🤦🏼♀️
Which was part of why my first two years in business I made $6,000 each year.
I didn't realize it could be simple.
Well okay let be more honest, I had developed the habit of making everything HARD...and even if someone had told me how to make it simple I wouldn't have understood and would have wandered away confused 🤣
Setting up a solid and simple business doesn't have to be complicated, overwhelming or something you get lost in.
You can make SIX decisions, sell yourself on those decisions and then start DOING those decisions...and you know what you'll be able to do NEXT?
Actually help your people. 😍
Yep...help your people.
That's what's waiting for you on the other side of these decisions.
So head over to episode 111 of the podcast to listen. (link in bio)
I also share this week two ways you can work with me.
One for coaches signing their first 5 clients and another for coaches who've made $10k+ in their business and want to learn the art of doubling without doubling their effort and action.
Podcast 109: Have you been cramming yourself into rules in your business?
it feels...
- heavy
- hard
- forceful
You imagine there is an easier way but it just all feels HARD.
Doing things because you "should", because it's the "right way" or because your coach told you to.
In this week's episode, we talk about how NOT to cram yourself into rules in your business.
You know what's available when business doesn't feel hard, heavy and like something you have to do??
It feels light, it feels easy, fun, it feels like a challenge that you choose and WANT to do.
Episode 108:
Your money issues will make selling hard.
- "people don't want to spend money"
- "people really need their money"
- "this is a lot of money"
- "it's better for someone to have cash than coaching"
Fill in the blank with what YOUR money based thought is.
In this week's episode of the Strategic Mindset podcast I break apart money and the value of coaching with you.
I talk through thinking about money as well as how to think about and develop your thoughts around what you sell and the value of coaching with you.
When you are ON FIRE for what you sell and the impact of it...selling is easy.
Your normal BEING is selling for you, even when you're not trying.
Episode 107: Let's talk MONEY.
Specifically...
💋 why you DON'T want your business to create consistent money like a job
💋 how to create the consistent financial experience you want
💋 how to flex WHEN the plan gets knocked off balance (I share my own experience)
The more exposure you have to money conversations the easier it is to experience money like an entrepreneur.
To build your coaching business you can't just be good at coaching...you have to pair it with developing yourself and your identity as an entrepreneur.
Let's start with episode.
Episode 106: STOP mimicking what you SEE successful people doing.
The most valuable thing you can mimic, is what you CAN'T see them doing.
I remember spending those first 2 years of business mimicking the actions of successful coaches.
I started a Facebook group, I did a weekly show, I interviewed other people, I built relationships, I created 34 freebies and funnels 😂
But it never created the money and results I wanted. It just created more work and more confusion and frustration that it wasn't working.
There are qualities and habits of growing a business that you DON'T see but need to.
In this week's episode of the Strategic Mindset podcast, I pull back the curtain and share 5 of those qualities with you.
I share the qualities plus examples that will help you connect in with each point so your mind doesn't just hear the information but is able to shift it's perspective with it.
Episode 105: goals can be simple or complicated.
in this weeks episode of the Strategic Mindset podcast I break down how to stack your goals so they're simple, you know exactly where to focus and the junk that needs to rise to the top...does.
I also break down a common misconception that when your goal is $100,000 that each month you "should" be creating $8,333.
(you shouldn't be, tune in to hear why not and what to expect instead)
The biggest barrier to hitting your goals this year, is you making them more complicated than they need to be.
Let's keep it simple.
Not as a motivational thought...but in the reality of how you structure and run your goals this year
Episode 104: Being a great coach, isn't enough.
Being great a selling or marketing, isn't even enough.
There are 4 roles you play in your business as an entrepreneur.
In this episode, we dig into each role of your growing business.
- Role 1: The Visionary. (This person holds all of your belief.)
- Role 2: The Coach. (This person hones her skill and thinks on purpose about clients)
- Role 3: Marketing & Sales (this person LOVES what she sells as her #1 sales skill)
- Role 4: Admin. (this person feels accomplished and productive getting little things done but has very limited hours every week)
As you're growing your business -- wrapping your head around what you do and expanding how you think about it, is part of the growth.
Seeing each role, allows you to embrace them, to separate yourself from your business and to set the drama aside as you show up to the role you need to be in.
And that is the skill of building a consistent mind that creates at consistently higher and higher levels.
Episode 103:
💋 possibility...
💋 off shoot results you'll create and delight in...
💋 getting what you need from the simplest ah-ha's...
It sounds casual...because it is.
Come on in and let's have tea. ☕️
Episode 102: "Excuse me! Excuse me...in 30 seconds or less tell everyone what you attribute your success to!" yells the news reporter at the successful person as they're walking by.
The person casually and without much thought replies, "hard work" as they continue walking.
You've heard it right?
Hard work. It's why people have success.
But there is SO MUCH MORE to building your business and creating the life you want than just hard work.
It's a more rounded out way of thinking about it...and in this weeks episode of the Strategic Mindset podcast I cover what ELSE it takes to build your business other than just hard work.
Episode 101: You don't have to. But you can WANT to.
In this weeks episode of the Strategic Mindset podcast I dig into the emotional fuel you use to run your business...from small tasks to big.
"Wanting to" feels so very different than telling yourself you "have to" or "should".
This impacts how you see the past of what you've been doing, your experience of your business and the actual words that come out of your mouth as you're creating.
Learning to "WANT TO" is a skill that will change how you feel in your body, how often you create from flow and your overall enjoyment of your business as you are in the phase of creating the results you want.
Episode 100: "don't be the best, be better" Simon Sinek says in his book The Infinite Game.
And it applies 100% to building a consistently growing business.
Trying to be the best is full of pressure, comparison and self-judgement.
Being better is simple, calm and FASTER in it's steadiness than than being the best.
In this weeks episode of the Strategic Mindset podcast, we talk about being BETTER, not being the BEST.
Episode 99: Does your morning routine start you off feeling accomplished, invigorated, motivated and ready to go?
Everyday, you wake up.
You have a routine.
A morning routine. In episode 99 of the Strategic Mindset podcast, we dig into creating one that sets you up for success throughout your entire day.
We cover...
- how to use a morning routine to set you up for success through the day
- the simplest way to create one for YOU
- ideas for your morning routine
When you decide how you want to feel starting your day, your brain remembers throughout the entire day that you have a choice.
When you start the day doing what you say you're going to do (and you made it really simple for yourself) you set yourself up to do what you say you're going to do through the day.
Episode 98: What does learning to make cheese tamales have to do with creating $787,000 in 12 months?
Everything.
Learning how to do them is the exact same process.
In episode 98 of the Strategic Mindset podcast, I invite you to see an area of your life that you learn and create so you can bring that perspective to your business.
The creation process is SO SIMPLE in some areas of our life...and requires more energy in other areas for the exact same process.
And that's okay.
Episode 97: One of the traps I see coaches fall into is trying to cram themselves into ways of running their business because "the experts" said to do it that way...because they want to do it "right".
This creates is a lot of mental drama and chatter. Seconding guessing. Pressure. Feeling like you're failing and making SLOW progress.
This week, I break down the different areas of decisions you might be doing this in as well as walk you through exactly WHY a coach suggests doing it in a certain way.
When you brain here's that 👆🏼 it will be the understanding your brain needed to relax into your business simply make decisions from what feels easiest.
Episode 96: In your everyday life, you're building the habits you need in your business.
From learning to apply strip lashes, decorating your home, styling your clothes or losing weight.
When the brain doesn't understand the process to look for though, it doesn't cement in that it's ALL the same.
This week, we zoom into the core processes of business and how they show up everyday in your life.
Episode 95: Celebrating is a misunderstood and judged concept. In this episode, I break down the root of a celebration and two super simple ways to do it.
WHY do it???
It feels good AND when you do it, you'll make more money.
Episode 94: Our brain LOVES visuals but we have to TEACH our brain which visuals to choose.
This week on the Strategic Mindset podcast, I am showing you how believing your business is an obstacles course can help you navigate it and enjoy the process.
First you'll choose WHICH obstacle course you're on. We talk about each one and how so many people slow themselves down because they're switching obstacles courses.
Then we cover the power of...
1) loving the challenge (rather than wishing its as easier)
2) deciding you WIN and celebrating the small wins (rather than wondering and feeling like you have so many small defeats)
3) choosing how you want to EXPERIENCE the obstacle course
You're simply teaching your brain how to...(you'll fill in the blank).
Episode 93: Telling yourself you "have to" is part of how you're overcomplicating your business.
As you're doubling your business, you'll remove things like "have to" and replace them with something simpler that fills you with energy, focus and a giddy lightness.
In today's episode we explore releasing everything you think you "have to" do.
Episode 92: As a normal part of growing a business you will be NAILING it sometimes and other times...you won't be.
When you're NOT nailing it...you're in the delayed phase of growing your business.
It's not a problem to be here, it's part of the process.
The quicker you realize you're there, the quicker you can re-adjust.
Those 5 habits are...
1) trying to sell your person without selling yourself
2) you don't value the time YOUR brain needs
3) you aren't in your clients heads
4) move fast and don't learn from yourself
5) Solve not having your results from "it's NOT working"
You'll know you're in one of these spaces because your results aren't on track and you don't feel in the flow like you normally do.
Episode 91: your brain is a computer that nobody taught you how to use.
It this weeks episode, I share with you how to use the "reset" button to bring yourself out of the drama of the mind and get back to creating the results you want.
Episode 90: in this weeks episode of the Strategic Mindset podcast we dig into the specifies of what a consistently GROWING business 📈 looks like.
A consistently GROWING business...is one that makes MORE money, in the same amount of time.
More Money, in the same amount of time is...
- $100k working 40 hours a week
- Then $200k working the same 40 hours a week
- Then $500k working the same, 40 hours a week
A consistently GROWING business...is one that makes MORE money, in the same amount of time.
We cover the 3 parts of a consistently GROWING business:
- thinking like an entrepreneur (not an employee or wife)
- creating a vision (to pull you out of the weeds)
- setting and hitting goals
We also cover the #1 reason coaches won't create the business they envision for themselves...FEAR it's not possible for them and exactly why it IS POSSIBLE.
The mind doesn't come knowing how to build a consistently growing business. I'll teach you.
I'll teach you in the Consistent Business Builder Mastermind.
We start November 2nd.

Episode 89:
5 clients by October 31st.
One of the biggest mistakes I see coaches make is that they STOP at the date of their goal.
Goals and deadlines...are imaginary Iines meant to help you focus and give you direction.
In this episode, I break down why date based goals are HURTING your business and exactly how it looks to focus on the result of a goal instead.
Episode 88: In order to set AND hit goals...to build a consistently growing business you have to give your goals perspective.
The perspective is what keeps you going even when all the normal parts of the goal happen.
In episode 88 of the Strategic Mindset podcast I've broken this perspective into 2 categories.
A why for YOU and a why that is NOT for you...that is about other people or something bigger than you.
You shouldn't have this already developed.
Now is the perfect time to start building it out...or to build it out to the next level.
Your fire for your business and your future...will out burn stronger and more calmly when you do.
Episode 87: your goal is NOT done...until it's done.
And every day you VOTE for the result you want to be done in the future.
Today's episode we look at the 3 outcomes available to vote FOR, what slows down our voting, as well as what we vote WITH towards our goal.
This concept adds to the idea of "done-energy" in such a beautiful way.
Let's vote for the business YOU'RE creating and bring it to life.
Episode 86: Who taught you to use your mind??
Nobody.
It's not like riding a bike and you can remember clearly who taught you.
Nobody teaches us to use the most powerful asset we have. 🧠
Nobody even explains what the brain does and what we can expect FROM it.
Instead they teach us to use EFFORT. A byproduct of the mind.
But effort only gets us so far. Then to bring our visions of the future to life...we have to leverage the mind.
This week's episode, I show you what that means.
I will teach you to use your mind. Because when you know, you are never the same in the BEST ways possible.
Episode 85: Emotions make you MONEY.
In this episode, I've invited my client and friend Simone Grace Seol to talk about MONEY making emotions.
We share our top money making emotions as well as how we think differently about and understand emotions.
This isn't a basic 101 conversation about emotions. That being said, no matter what level you are at you'll take something away from this conversation.
If you feel a lot of emotions or are new to identifying emotions...you'll enjoy this look into emotions that make you money.
Simone Grace Seol is the host of the Fearless Marketing for Life Coaches podcast and a brilliant source to learn marketing from.

Episode 78: In order to create a consistently growing business...you'll have to STOP focusing on other people for a minute.
So often in business we focus on our clients, we focus on our offer and we focus on creating value...
but in doing this, we miss a MAJOR piece of the puzzle.
The Trinity Of YOU.
This trinity is the foundation of your business.
Summed up simply, it's a who you've been in the past, we you are in this exact moment and who you're becoming in the future.
It's the key to why so many struggle thinking of a future self, seeing progress and loving this exact moment of the journey.
Episode 77: There are 4 essential experiences in the process of creating a consistently growing business.
The first one I teach my clients, is how to feel a calmness...an emotional steadiness.
But it's not enough.
A calm coach who stays in ONLY that experience will be like the Monk who feels great but isn't growing into bigger and different goals.
In this weeks episode, I break down the other 3 experiences you'll use to grow your business. 3 of them will feel pretty good and 1 of them will feel uncomfortable.
Episode 76: Traditional goal setting doesn't work.
How we know for sure...is because you aren't setting AND hitting your business goals.
Nothing is wrong with YOU.
You do NOT need to work harder or do more.
You haven't hit goals, because nobody teaches us how to set and hit a goal.
They don't tell us what else is involved other than more action or better action.
In today's episode, I teach you how to set and hit goals in a new way.
Episode 75: Every hard worker's mind tells them the same story, "I don't have the result I want because I'm not doing enough...or I'm missing something".
Today I am sharing Amber story and how she broke out of that cycle.
Two months ago, she had 7 clients. In just 2 months, she signed 12 more doing only FOUR actions in her business.
This episode breaks down what that journey looked like for her, the thoughts that drove her and the advice she would give others as they do it too.

Episode 74: Setting and hitting a business goal can feel out of your control and be when you are the meanest to yourself.
None of that is necessary.
In today's episode, we break down the cycle of a goal.
The brain has no pattern for goals and we have to teach it one.
There are 5 parts to a goal cycle.
You need to know and master this cycle so you don't:
- set goals and forget about your goals
- feel powerless to hit the goal
- fail to hit the goal and have no idea what needs to change
You want a consistently growing business and setting and hitting goals is part of how you do that.
Where do you start then? Start by listening to this episode.
Episode 73: How would you like to be FEATURED by your coach to all of their audience?
This is exactly what your coach WANTS to do.
They want their clients to use their work, transform and then share it with them.
But what I see are clients GETTING the results they want...and then not doing these simple steps that would help their coach feature them.
In today's episode, I share 3 steps to help you get featured PLUS dig into the thoughts that you might have that would STOP you from sharing that success.
Episode 72: Are you making growing your business harder than it needs to be?
Do you suspect there is a simple path...and that you're missing it?
Often this is actually the case.
In today's episode, I break apart the simple path to your goal AND the 7 areas the mind regularly gets slowed down.
The first step to moving more quickly, is to recognize the patterns and teach your brain to zoom out from the weeds. Today's episode, will help you do that.
Episode 71: The HARDEST part of creating a consistently growing business is...
believing you can
Then showing up from that belief...over and over and over again until you have the result you want.
I recently interviewed my client Dr. Caitlin Faas on the podcast.
It is truly a case study of BELIEF.
She set a goal.
❤️ 10 clients in 12 weeks.
❤️ Resign from her teaching position.
❤️ Do it without being all consumed by her business
She had NO idea how it would play out. (nobody ever gets to know)
That COVID would hit.
That her husband would be laid off during COVID.
That she would need to have conversations about resigning from her position
BEFORE the contract date she’d been visualizing as the goal.
That when she had that conversation, she’d only have 3 of her 10 clients.
Caitlin set AND hit her goal.
This episode is every bit of that process on the table for all to learn from.
Caitlin is showing you HOW to do it.
Study success.

Episode 70: In life, you often decide how you want to think and feel about something that happens. A divorce, a job, a relationship, a failure, etc.
You do it without thinking.
But when it comes to business, I see coaches just letting the story happen on it's own.
This means ANYTHING could be stored into your subconscious, and that's not helpful.
In today's episode I show you how to create that story on purpose.
We specifically look at ending a month and the result you created in that month. I share with you a 5 step process I teach inside my mastermind for ending a goal. Today's podcast digs into step 5 of that process.
Episode 69: You always have the choice to believe. Often we forget that it's a choice though and we take up disbelief as though its reasonable or logical.
In this episode I break down exactly what belief and disbelief look like in your business as you strive for a goal.
You'll learn the difference in how belief and disbelief feel as well as the habits/actions that are involved based on where your belief is.
Most importantly, you'll create an awareness to catch yourself in disbelief and get back into belief.
Episode 68: There are 2 places you can learn from; other people and yourself.
In this episode, I show you exactly what learning from myself means as I show you my mind.
There are 3 simple steps to creating the results you want in business:
-
set a goal
-
reprogram your mind
-
learn from yourself
Today's episode digs into step 3 and how it dramatically influences what you do next and how quickly you create your goals.
And in case you weren't sure...it doesn't matter how much success you create and how brilliant you are at navigating your mind, your mind will always be doing crazy things and revealing your work to you.
Episode 67: I always hit my goals in business.
This wasn't always the case though. I learned how to do it.
And in today's episode, I break down 5 ways I approach and hit my goals...every time.
- I don't do more.
- I don't get in front of more people.
- I don't get more productive.
Those were all the things I thought I had to do (and that I see my clients thinking too).
I learned to be the person who always hits her goals. As you listen today, look for how you think differently and start there.
Episode 66: Are you struggling to focus?
Does it feel like your mind is so full that there is barely any room for what you want to get done.
Focus can feel like something that is outside of us, that we're not in control of and that is happening to us. But in order to show up to our lives and our businesses and create exactly what we want, we have to teach our brain HOW to focus.
In today's episode, Jennifer Dent Brown shares her journey of learning how to focus.
From taking a quiz that said she probably needed to consult a professional to learning how to focus using her mind.
Then using that skill to process her own mind in the middle of re-launching her podcast AND making sense of her own emotions as a black woman experiencing a lot of inner turmoil.

Episode 65: Are your business goals methodical and planned out OR more pie in the sky?
Pie In The Sky meaning..."something that is pleasant to contemplate but is very unlikely to be realized".
In today's episode, I show you what both look like. I share details of my 3 year plan to create a million dollar business and how that has guided my growth. I also share my "pie in the sky" goal to send our kids to a different school.
Even if you find out your goal is "pie in the sky"...just the AWARENESS is enough to help you shift into a planned goal.
Episode 64: "I've never created $100k in my business."
These are the words I hear coaches say to me as though they mean something.
They don't. It doesn't matter.
But every moment they are focused in this zone...is a moment they're missing everything that they could be focused on to create the result they want.
In this episode, I share with you how to identify which zone you're in based on if you're feeling open or closed and how to move between each zone to create and problem solve at a higher level.
Episode 63: In business judgment will slow you down...it's an emotion AND a verb. It will slow you down as you worry about what others think, it will slow you down as you judge others (your mind on their business, instead of yours) and it will slow you down as you judge yourself. There is ONE magical emotion to meet it with. Plus I share how I presented my husband with my judgment and how his epic response can be mimicked in all of us.
Episode 62: Successful coaches every where are forgetting who they are. It's not a virus...it's Success Amnesia.
If you've ever created something AMAZING and then 24 hours later not been impressed anymore...maybe even forgotten, you need to listen to this episode.
I break down...
-
What Success Amnesia is
-
Why women are forgetting how successful they are
-
Why it's vital to remember (and HOW)
When we show up remembering who we ARE...we create a higher level. That level of creation is always available to us but we have to remember who we are first.
Episode 61: Goal Amnesia
What is GOAL AMNESIA?
It's when you FORGET your goal.
I've broken this into 3 areas...
- Forgetting the actual goal
- Forgetting why you choose that goal (the growth inside of the goal)
- Forgetting the bigger impact of the goal
Forgetting is a normal process of the mind.
It can't possibility store everything. That would be exhausting and slow the machine waaaay down.
Your brain can only remember what you create a habit for it to remember. (so the act of remembering the goal becomes the habit, not the actual goal)
Episode 60: As you look at your business are you thinking "I DON'T have the results I want yet".
The keyword is YET.
Mindset is NOT putting on a positive face and ignoring everything that doesn't fit.
It is also NOT looking at your business and inadvertently labeling it all as "not working"
So what's the in-between ground?
Today I will show you a simple, systematic two-step process for tweaking into the result you want.
Episode 59: That goal you set?? You CAN'T hit it...not today at least.
How do we know for sure? Because you haven't yet. The version of you who DOES hit goal, literally thinks and problem solves differently than current you.
The goal you set to sign 1 client this week or create $10,000 this month? You can't hit it, until you tweak the pieces that are actually not working.
Episode 58: Business breaks down into 3 core elements; marketing, sales and nurturing. Then the foundation of them all, is the mindset you have in each area.
In today's episode we break down each of the three areas so you can decide which you use and end the confusion and trying to do MORE.
Episode 57: In today's episode I share 6 steps to becoming the version of you, who has the goal you WANT.
You set a goal and then you have to learn how to HAVE that goal. You have to become the person who just naturally creates it. If you DON'T, you get the goal but you don't know how to repeat it, you struggle to HAVE it and you feel out of control.
These 6 steps are the quickest way to create that first or next $100k.
Episode 56: As a human, there are 7 directions our mind can focus. When you don't realize this, you stay on default. You let your mind and thoughts hang out where ever they want.
In business though, in order to set and hit big goals, you have to learn where your mind wants to hang out and intentionally point it.
In this episode, we dig into each of the 7 areas. The helpful elements of them and the not-so-helpful.
Episode 55: What would be different in your business if you felt in control of yourself, your results and replicating your success?
Feeling in control IS POSSIBLE.
It's a mindset.
In this episode, I show you how sneaky feeling out of control can be and exactly how and what you ARE in control of...and how you're also in control of everything you're not in control of. Yes. Yes you read that correctly.
Episode 54: “I’m thinking and DOING so much, but not getting the result I want” -- these were the words Jill Allison Bryan said in our consult 9 months ago.
She was fantastic at consistency and doing. She knew she was a great coach and had a lot to offer. She also knew that she wasn’t getting the results she wanted and that something had to be missing.
She’d read AND did the money mindset books, she journaled, she said mantras...and none of it created the shift she was looking for.
Jill wanted a process, a systematic way of approaching her mind and business to create change.
I taught it to her.
In 9 months, she tripled her income from the year before and stopped running her business from obligation. She finally feels in control of creating clients and money.
This is the power of mindset. Today's podcast features Jill's story.

Episode 53: I didn't become aware that the conversation and thoughts spinning through my head at every moment of the day...weren't ME and also weren't necessary until I was about 30.
I probably wouldn't have cared, except that I was NOT getting the results I wanted in my business, no matter what I did.
Today's episode we cover:
- How this awareness helps you make money
- What is a thought (its strange but we spend very little time thinking about them)
- Who you are, apart from your thoughts
- How to practice separating yourself, from your thoughts (the HOW of mindset)
Episode 52 - If you've ever thought to yourself, "I SHOULD be further along", "I COULD have been further along" or maybe even, "I knew what I was supposed to do and didn't do it...but if I had" -- THIS episode is for you.
I share 3 simple steps to put this frame of thinking down so that you can step into your next goal more quickly.
Episode 51: We dig into THREE habits of your mind. These habits are the secret to why growth FEELS hard and also the key to making growth feel easier.
Your mind and it's patterns are the answer to why...
- You just need to get that project done...but haven't yet
- You WANT a different result in your business but just keep creating more of the same
- You are making progress AND still thinking, "it's not enough"
After listening to this episode, instead of believing "this shouldn't be so hard, I must be doing something wrong"...you'll have access to believe, "ahhh, of course this feels like effort. I'm teaching my brain a new habit".
That acceptance is exactly what your brain needs in order to change and create a new result.
Episode 50 -- Small changes matter. Today's episode is about leveling up your environment as a way to shift and shape how you FEEL inside of your life and business.
Usually we start with the mind side but today we're going to the doing side.
Episode 49 -- Interview: The MINDSET of Multiple Six-Figure Growth (in under a year)
Highlight reels are great..but what's better is when we see what really changed behind the scenes.
If you're consumed with HOW you'll create your goal and focused on all the things you'll DO...this episode is for you.
Jen Madden started 2019 as a government employee, she knew she would get a pension in that job and it was her golden ticket.
But something changed between January and December...
And she ended 2019 as a full time entrepreneur with a multiple six-figure business...in a way that she could have never anticipated.
In today's episode, we dig into that story.
You can learn more about Jen at https://www.jenmadden.com
Episode 48:What if you're actually making this whole business, hitting your goals thing...harder than it needs to be?
I've identify 6 belief that run like soothing background noise in your mind and are causing your experience to feel hard. In this episode, we dig into those 6 beliefs so you can hear them as optional and begin catching them in your own mind when the record starts to play.
If one or more of these is familiar...this episode is for you:
- Change / business growth should be easier
- Change / business growth is easier for OTHER people
- I'll do it later
- Maybe I'm not meant to ___
- It's going to be hard.
- I would rather not do hard right now. (sometime in the future would be a better time)
Episode 47: This episode is a glimpse into how I think and approach money. I recently left my swim suit at a hotel and had to choose if I would re-buy that swim suit and to choose how I thought and experienced it all.
You're not going to learn a strategy in this episode for DOING mindset...you're going to experience my mindset in action.
I encourage you to listen to how I think and see how it differs from how you experience and approach money. Listening to this, IS what helps shift your mind. It shows you what is possible and sometimes for the first time, shows your brain an option for how it can interact with money in a new way.

Episode 45 shares with you one of my favorite questions to ask myself and my clients. "What are you forgetting to think?" also asked, "what are you forgetting to believe" -- because we don't want to just think thoughts, we want this question to prompt thoughts you already believe...but forgot to think.
In this episode we dig into the 5 areas to focus your mind and your intentional belief...
- Yourself
- Your offer
- Your future clients
- Business
- Possibility
Episode 44: I'm recording this in December of 2019 -- you're either thinking about this year's goal or already jumping ahead to 2020 and today's episode is designed to help you think differently about how you approach goals so you can HIT them easily.
Episode 43 — just because it’s a holiday or you’re busy… Doesn’t mean you stop cleaning and being intentional with your mind. Today’s episode is just a quick reminder.
Episode 42: In today's episode I share with you concept of "Thought Towers". It's a way to visualize and create systems around how you THINK in your business. I share the top 6 areas you need to build thought towers (or take some down) as well as specific areas like before a consult, after a consult, when a consult says YES but then waits a long time to pay...
Don't wing it. Create thought towers. Let your brain have a place to go back to to remember things and not have to hold them all the time. Then eventually -- you'll remember these thoughts on auto-pilot and you'll go out and build more towers.
Episode 41: A client asked me a question this week...and it was brilliant. She asked, "how do I know if I'm on the right track?". From a mindset perspective...there is no "right" track, you're exactly where you're supposed to be and all of it is perfect.
But from a business perspective -- that answer doesn't cut it.
Her fear was essentially that she would get LOST inside of believing it was working and in possibility but not be realistic about her progress.
Let's NOT get lost in belief.
The way NOT to get lost though -- is what we dig into in this episode.
Episode 40: In mindset, there are things that we do but don't necessarily talk about or even notice. Those are the things I love to study. The more I understand how the mind works...the easier it is for me to create money using it and help my clients do the same. In today's episode, we dig into 3 tiny tweaks. 3 very practice elements of mindset that are often overlooked. You're going to FEEL these tweaks immediately on the podcast and just having this awareness will help you catch yourself and course correct in your own work.
Episode 39 -- Emotion is the ONLY reason we do or don't do things as a human. It's the link most mindset connoisseur miss or don't know how to leverage.
So in today's episode...of course I dish on all the things. The two types of people who experience emotion, how emotion is connected to mindset, how emotion will help you create more money and how to USE emotion as fuel for your growth.
Episode 38 - One thing I encourage all of my clients to do...is to my daily mindset worksheet. It's the exact work I did to create my first $9k month and I've tweaked and tested for over a year.
Every time I run this program...people reach out to share the shifts. This time, I wanted to share Jen Navaro with you. She's been doing this daily work for 6 weeks and has seen a complete change in how she shows up to her business AND the results she's creating. She's finally having FUN.

Let's dig in!
Episode 37: Do you know why you want money? There are only three reasons...and in this episode, we break them down so you can see how your mind is working and question if it's how you want to want and use money.
Episode 36: In this world of growing a business, we as the entrepreneur are just 1 part of it. Beside us is sometimes another person. A partner who experiences business with us. The ups and the downs.
In today's episode, I bring my husband on to talk about this. I think what I love most about hearing him is that he has such a strong mind around money, believing it me and accepting who I am and what I'm doing.
For some of you, YOU will need to learn to think more like my husband for your own business. For others, you can listen to this with your partner and create a dynamic conversation.
Episode 35: This week I'm hosting my signature Make Money With Your Mind training LIVE. I took a part of the first live coaching call and wanted to share it with you here on the podcast. It covers the emotions of what drives us, how and why the action alone doesn't create results and how to set a goal that you actually show up to create.
Episode 34: Time. It's a fun construct. We all have the same amount, yet some people use it better and created more effectively with it.
Why is that?
It's a simple emotion.
For me, when my brain is believing "I don't have time" or "I have so much to do" -- I feel anxious and overwhelmed.
But these emotions NEVER cause me to create at my highest level. In fact there are the emotions most likely to result in me taking a long lunch, puttering on social media or talking to my mom.
In today's episode, we dig into approaching your brain when it feels anxious and overwhelmed about time so you can learn to create at a higher level.
Episode 33: How you feel in your body matters. Your feelings are connected to what you are creating or not creating. So in today's episode we dig into how to create a peaceful calm feeling in your body, in an instant.
One of the compliments I get the most, is on my calmness. I haven't always gotten this compliment because I haven't always been this person.
It doesn't take hours of yoga. It doesn't take finding peaceful thoughts. This is about clearing your mind and stepping into your body. This has been such a powerful tool I've learned and today, I share it with you.
Happy Listening!
Episode 32: One of the most common things I hear from coaches is that they're "doing the mindset work...but still don't have the results they want". There is a good reason for this and today, we did into exactly what these two mindsets are and what they look like in your business.
Episode 31 -- In this week's episode we talk money MANAGEMENT. You get a peek into my business, my numbers and what growth looks like as you grow your business. Specifically how I thought about and managed my money in 2018 as I made my first $100,000 and how that changed this year as I made my second $100,000.
Episode 30 -- Okay, I say this every week it turns out...but this one is SO GOOD!! One of the things I keep running into is watching my clients set goals and then use that goal to beat themselves up. It's counterproductive and it never creates clients. In todays episode I share with you what the traditional goal setting looks like and what the contrast option looks like when you learn to BE the person who easily creates your goal. This stuff will set you free and shift how you feel in your business BIG TIME. Happy Listening!
Episode 29: Finding Neutral -- Y'ALL. This work in here is going to change your LIFE. We all have thoughts. Some of them are default thinking and others are intentional thinking.
What we often forget though, is that there is a neutral circumstance. There is something that our brain is bouncing off of with it's thoughts. And when you practice identifying THAT bounce point. You create more awareness and control of your mind. And the more awareness and control you have of our mind...the more MONEY you make with it.
Happy Listening.
Episode 28 -- In today's episode, I share with you a step-by-step process to mindset (the strategy of mindset!) to process your mind, take back your power and create a calmness in your body. You get to hear my mental drama and exactly how I work through it.
Why you might ask?
Because how you FEEL all throughout your day matters to the money making side of switching your brain to business. And when we learn to process our emotions, our triggers and our mind in one area of our life, we can bring the practice over to our business mind and we can more smoothly transition into our chosen emotions to fuel our business growth.
Episode 27 -- In today's episode we dig into what "arguing" with your brain looks like and what to do instead. You know you're arguing with your brain because it keeps reminding you of beliefs like, "I don't know if I can do this..." and rather than that belief diminishing over time because you see how it doesn't serve you...you hardball into the opposite belief of "yes I can!".
Arguing with your brain will feel like you're gritting and bearing it...you're getting through this...and then you'll feel better. I'd like to offer you a way to feel better AND create that thing you're not sure if you can yet.
Episode 26: Today's episode is SO good. We dig into...
- What a trigger is
- Why you need to learn to process them in order to make money
- 2 ways you're likely processing on default that aren't serving you
- How to process your triggers in a way that you will allow you to learn, grow and get back to creating with EASE
A trigger is a simple as your mind having a thought, which creates an intense negative experience in your body. It can feel obvious or very subtle. The result is ALWAYS though, that your energy is impacted and you lose focus on your goal and serving those around you.
In today's episode we go deep. Let's dig in!
Episode 25 -- In this week episode we dig into a thought as innocent as "It's NOT working...what can I do to fix it". We flush out why this thought is hurting your productivity and results..and the simple tweak you can make to energize and empower yourself as you hit your goals.

Episode 24 -- As a mindset coach, I am always working on using my tools to create my dream life. Last year it was in terms of my business and income and this year, the big result is my weight.
I'm in the process of losing 100lbs and a step of that puzzle has been deciding not to eat sugar and flour.
My mind told me that this would be so hard. That weight loss is hard. That I would likely fail, so why even bother.
After 10 days though I've been SHOCKED at what's possible...seriously shocked that I could be 10 days in and believe that this is EASY. To feel the flow and ease of doing it and to have a realization that my weight loss is like a dial to turn. I am in control of it...and it's easy.
I did NOT think this way 14 days ago. This is the power of mindset and in this episode I break down the 6 elements that make this possible in weight loss as well as business...because I just couldn't not talk about that!
Episode 23: My mentor Brooke Castillo told me (well and everyone else I guess) that what we have now...we will only have more of as we scale our business to a million. I have been taking that admonishment and applying it to my business and in this episode, I help you do the same.
Episode 22: In today's episode I share with you 3 powerful questions to ask yourself when you're feeling like things aren't working.
You're likely seeing evidence all around you confirming that things aren't working...you're feeling terrible and avoiding your business.
Maybe you're even doing thought work but it's only seeming to compound the idea that something is wrong and now you suck as a coach because you can't coach yourself out of this.
These 3 questions are designed to help you see your brain on a deeper level, to find and take back your power in any situation and to refocus your brain on the result you WANT to create.
Episode 21: Often times I hear clients assure me that they DO believe...and yet when I hear the action they took or didn't take I know the truth.
Our action (or inaction) is ALWAYS a reflection of our level of belief.
Which really is great news because when you're not getting the result you want, you have the insider awareness that it's not your actions that create the result but your belief that create the action and powers it to create your results.
(your belief is like the electricity that powers a lamp...the lamp is the physical sign of what's happening underneath).
Episode 20: In today's episode we dig into the discussion of what comes first...belief or action?
There are two types of people...those who struggle to believe and so they take no action and those who are taking action like crazy but have underlying belief issues.
Neither person is getting what they want...and today's episode, we dig into what each looks like and how to balance the two out. MONEY is the result of balancing them...so don't skip this step!
Episode 19: In this weeks episode, I am talking with Elinor Cohen with The Just Me Company in a Case Study: How To Create Money With Your Mind.
Elinor has been building her business online for years but like so many people, myself included...still hadn't brought all the pieces together to make really good money.
She "silently" did a free 5-day training I hosted back in October. She made money. Then she joined the 6-week version of it to go deeper...and she made even more money.
She has continued to use the ONE tool I guided those ladies to mastery in...and just yesterday reached out that she has already secured that first $10k for this month.
In this episode, we talk about her journey...the thoughts she was having while she struggled to make even $500 a month and what shifted for her as she has stepped into being a $10k a month earner.
Elinor will always hold a special place in my heart because she introduced me to Brooke Castillo...literally her suggestion changed the course of my life and I am so very thankful that we meet in that group coaching program so many years ago.
Episode 18: I focus a lot of creating results for myself and my clients. It's the thing we do to move ourselves forward and grow.
In today's episode I share with you 2 hacks to mindset work that will help you see why you haven't been creating the result you want and exactly what you need to actively do in order to begin.
Episode 17: The Mindset Of Pre-Launch: 5 Ways I Set Myself Up For Success
These 5 mindset techniques will help you...
- Create and show up from an abundant place (instead of lack and fear)
- Identify the exact thoughts you need to carry you from start to finish
- See the objections your brain is getting caught up on and how to move through them
- Follow through on your plan (maybe for the first time!)
- Nail down the specifics from an inspired and aligned place
This is the behind the scenes of what making money with your mind looks like.
Most people focus so hard on the strategy of launching...if it were as simple as creating a plan and executing it, everyone would be wildly successful.
But it's not that simple.
Launching is a combination of planning, executing and being in the right client focused energy that draws people to you.
And if you have mind drama, your launch is guaranteed to bring that drama out and have you stopping before you start; not promoting it, not making an offer and possibly being so focused on yourself that you come across as an icky sales person just out to make money.
I know you want to help people and that the biggest impact you can have on their life is when they hire you. Let's dig into to today's episode.
Episode 16: The concept of "even when" is something you likely are already using in your personal life. In this episode, I show you how I use it in regards to shoe shopping AND business.
Episode 15: I've been experiencing a lot of "I don't want to" lately. And you know what this thought creates for me more often than not? A day completely available to work...and instead I scroll on Facebook. Cue then the frustration with myself for choosing to do nothing productive for 10 days in a row.
In this episode, I share with you a story that drives me to work on myself and to show up in my business, even when I don't want to. If this speaks to you, I hope you also search our YOUR motivator.
Episode 14: For 2 years, I created content and built an audience. I embraced the idea of being a resource and I made very very little money in that mindset. This week, I saw TWO clients bring this up as well and so I wanted to bring it to you.
When we're growing a business, it's possible to be creating content all the time and NOT making money. When that's happening, it's always because of how you're thinking about yourself, your business or your potential clients. In this episode, we cover the line of thinking "I want to be a resource and help!" and why it's preventing you from working with paying clients.
Episode 13 - It doesn't matter if you're selling a free training, 1:1 coaching or a group program...there is something VERY specific that successful businesses are doing in order to sell with ease. And in this episode I'm sharing with you exactly what that is and how to use it yourself.
Hint: if you're not in love with your offers, nothing has gone wrong. It's not something that without effort. (At least at first)
Episode 12 of the Strategic Mindset podcast is just in time for month and year end goals. In today's episode I share The Only Thing Between You And Your Goal and the sneaky ways our brains have of getting us to quit early.
Episode 11: The reason you have the results you current have, is because you have a pattern of thinking that triggers your next actions...in this episode we dig into identifying those patterns so you can choose the patterns that help you create your result.
Episode 10: In today's episode I asked my social media followers what questions they had around the thought work it took to create my first $100,000 year in business.
Here are those questions as answered in this episode! Q: (Allison) What negative thought consistently came up for you and how did you replace it?
Q: (Sabrina) How do you know which steps to take to get to the 100k in your thought work. Like not going too far ahead before you’re ready to believe.
Q: (Whitney) How did you market or make offers differently from your first $50k to your second $50k? Did you make offers more boldly? What thought kept you making offers despite the result?
Q: (Jake) What obstacles seemed big early on and how do you look back on them now?
Episode 9: Today I share with you insight from a client who just signed another client herself...and the minor tweak she made to her thought work.
I also dig into how to gauge if you believe a thought you've created (which is key if you're going to start living from THAT belief).
Episode 8: The thoughts you have are optional, and from that place, you can choose to feel better and to create the results you want in your life...in this episode, we dig into what that looks like.
Episode 7 of the Strategic Mindset podcast digs into the premise of what is Self-Coaching...and how does one use it to get faster results in business?
Episode 6: To join the LIVE version of this training, join here: http://getvisiblemarketing.com/create
Grab your pen and paper, in today's episode I share with you the EXACT work I did in my business to create my first $9,000 month. This isn't a podcast where I share nice ideas and things you've already heard. I tell you exactly what to do and give you examples so YOU can learn to coach yourself and create any result you want.
Episode 5: Why You Procrastinate On Things You Want To Do.
In today's episode of the Strategic Mindset podcast with your host Elizabeth Salazar we cover why you aren't doing the things you actually WANT to be doing...and once you know why, exactly how to start taking that action so you can create the result you want.
If there is a "right" way to do something, that means there is also a "wrong" way. In today's episode I address how thinking of your business in these terms will slow you down and sometimes be the death of it.
As a business owner, feeling feel and discomfort is just part of the game of growth.
In the early stages though before you've seen compounding success, that fear can stop you from taking action, getting help or starting things you WANT to be doing.
In the 3rd Episode of the Strategic Mindset podcast I share with you the power of learning to FEEL your feelings. (hang with me if that sounds weird).
Learning this skill will empower you to... 1. feel better by moving through the negative feelings more quickly
-
identify the power those sensations in your body are having on your results
-
Coach your clients from a place of neutrality (in their head, not yours)
-
Access the feelings of the future version of you (the one who isn't afraid!), truly feel them and begin making decisions from HER confidence.
How often have you heard the example of being someone who sees the glass half full or half empty? Most people think of themselves as positive people.
The reality though is that being positive, is actually HURTING your business.
Instead of being positive and wishing things away, learn how to use your fear and doubt as a guide and map to YOUR specific work.
Plus I share with you TWO ways to coach yourself around your specific doubts.
I used to think mindset was made up. Something people were selling to people who were desperate. A trick even to communicate how you have all of these "blocks" and oh by the way...I can help you clear them, but YOU can't do it on your own.
Or that it was just random stuff like journaling or tapping...with no clear path on how to handle the real stuff in life like inaction, action that isn't working, doubt, fear and something you can use when you're IN IT.
Then I learned that mindset is simply learning to think differently and thus act differently from those thoughts.
Strategic mindset is the art of systematically going through and breaking the habits and patterns of being so you can build the business you want.
This podcast is designed to help you do that with hands on tools and insight and my favorite...glimpses of what's possible.
