Online Business Building Mamas: Recent Episodes

If you’ve ever found yourself questioning the way your business is set up - your offers, your model, how you’re supposed to grow - this episode is for you.

In this conversation with Operations Specialist Erin Taylor, from Lunimae Strategy, we’re talking about how to evaluate whether your business structure is actually working for you, not just whether it follows what everyone says you “should” be doing.

We dive into how to make smarter, calmer decisions about your offers, your growth strategy, and when it’s time to change something.

You’ll learn:

• What it might really mean when an offer feels hard to sell or deliver
• Why paying attention to your data (not just trends) is essential before making big changes
• How to think about one-to-one vs one-to-many offers based on your personality, energy, and goals
• Why “scaling” isn’t always the right next move (and when it actually is)
• How offering less can sometimes lead to more profit, ease, and better client results
• Why the momentum you already have matters — and why it may not translate to a totally different offer

If you’ve been wondering whether it’s time to shift your offers, simplify your business, or rethink how you’re growing, this episode will help you look at your situation more clearly and make decisions that truly support the kind of business (and life) you want.

If you’ve ever wondered how getting results from coaching actually works - or if you’re a coach who wants to help your clients create real results - this episode breaks down what actually makes the difference.

We’re talking about the three ingredients that determine whether or not coaching turns into momentum, progress, and tangible results (and, of course, what can slow you down).

You’ll learn:

• Exactly how to use the results you already have to create more
• How not to get slowed down by failure, lost inspiration, or lack of follow-through
• What to put in your action plan so you’re actually set up for success
• Why obstacles don’t mean your plan is wrong - and how I help clients move through them
• The role coaching really plays in helping you create tangible results (this is the magic of long-term support)

If you’ve been feeling stuck, stalled, or unsure whether coaching will work for you, this episode will help you see your progress more clearly, simplify your plan, and understand exactly what to focus on to create results.

It’s one of the scariest moments in business: when you start questioning everything.

Your offers. Your message. Your plan. Whether you even want to keep going.

If you’ve ever had that “maybe it’s all wrong” feeling - the mix of panic, doubt, and confusion - this episode is for you. I’m breaking down why this happens (spoiler: it’s totally normal), what it actually means, and how to navigate it without burning everything down or making rash decisions you’ll regret later.

You’ll learn:

• Why questioning everything doesn’t mean something’s gone wrong
• How to tell when your doubt is actually just exhaustion or vulnerability talking
• The sneaky ways hormones, stress, and life circumstances can trick you into thinking your business is broken
• What to do when you feel the urge to blow it all up and start over
• How to find calm and clarity before you make any big decisions
• What I tell clients who are ready to quit - and why it’s often the turning point that changes everything

If you’ve been second-guessing your direction or wondering if you’re still on the right path, this episode will help you slow down, breathe, and see things clearly again.

If you’ve been in a funk with marketing (uninspired, confused, overwhelmed by everyone’s content - and now AI all over the place), I'm with you. There’s so much noise out there that it’s easy to lose your footing and wonder how your work is supposed to stand out.

In this episode, I share what shifted for me recently - after sitting back, studying what’s actually working, paying attention to the larger marketing world beyond online business, and experimenting again. And I walk you through the two key things that can change how you think about marketing, how you show up, and how your audience experiences you.

You’ll learn:

• Why you need to stop “posting anything at all” just to check it off your list
• Where to shift your attention if you’ve been obsessing over likes and shares
• What to do if your super valuable emails or posts aren’t performing anymore
• How to tweak your marketing strategy so you don’t have to completely psych yourself up to actually do it every single time
• How to actually turn strangers on the internet into people who buy from you

It's time to stop overthinking your marketing or trying to force yourself into strategies that feel like work you dread. This episode will help you reconnect to what actually works.

Here's the FREE mini-training on How to Create Clients I mentioned in this episode!

What if the thing you’re avoiding is exactly what would move your business forward?

You know the one. That idea sitting quietly in the back of your brain — the pitch you’ve been meaning to send, the offer you’ve been waiting to make, the investment you keep circling. Not because it’s a “should,” but because deep down, you know it’s the next right move. And yet, you’re avoiding it. In this episode, we’re talking about when you know the bold move to make, and it feels just scary enough to stall you out.

I walk you through how to recognize the bold things you’re resisting, why courage (not confidence) is what actually gets you moving, and how to create momentum with simple, bold actions that don’t require overnight transformation—just a little bravery and a good plan.

You will learn:

• Why the next right move often feels like something you wish you could “unsee” (and how to deal with that feeling)
• The common thread I’ve noticed among clients who are on the brink of big growth
• What being bold really looks like (from dramatic moves to small actions)
• The simplest way to identify your bold list—and how to take action without getting overwhelmed
• Why following through on bold actions (before the results show up!) is the habit that actually changes everything

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to go all in on the thing you already know you need to do—this is it. Get ready to check something scary-but-powerful off your list.

And if one of those bold moves is working with me 1:1? You’ll find the link in the show notes. Let’s do this.

AI might feel like a magic wand for your business — spitting out contracts, naming your next offer, generating “done-for-you” content in seconds. But what if the tool that’s saving you time is quietly putting your business at risk?

In this episode, I’m joined by attorney and online business legal expert Sarah Waldbuesser for a real-talk conversation about the legal side of AI. From copyright laws that haven’t caught up to the tech, to the risks of relying on ChatGPT to write your contracts, we’re diving into what business owners actually need to know in 2025 — and how to keep your business protected without panic (or spending $5K at a local law firm).

You’ll learn:

• Exactly how using AI to write contracts or course content could leave you legally unprotected
• What happened when Sarah asked ChatGPT if non-lawyers should trust the contracts it creates(and its surprisingly honest answer)
• The real deal with copyright and trademark law when it comes to AI-generated work
• How to think about risk in your business, especially if you’re in your first few years and still growing
• Sarah’s philosophy on legal issues in business — and why she says it’s a matter of when, not if

If you’ve been tempted to let AI handle the legal stuff so you can check it off your to-do list — this episode is your reminder to slow down. You don’t need to be scared of the legal side of business, but you do need to understand it. Hit play and protect your business like the real business it is.

If you’ve been watching other business owners post big, shiny revenue numbers — but you’re not seeing anyone talk about profit — it’s time for a reality check.

The numbers that actually matter in your business aren’t always the ones people share on social media. In this episode, I talk about what it really takes to build and keep a profitable online business — without overcomplicating it or overspending on things you don’t need.

You’ll learn:

• What you really need to run a profitable business — and why it probably won’t match what the online world is trying to sell you
• How I simplified my business with profitability in mind — so it fits my life and pays me well
• How to do the math so you’re crystal clear on your profitability (I aim for 50% or better!) — and where you may want to make changes
• The best mindset to have when making business investments — so you stay out of the “I’m doing it wrong” or “this will fix everything” trap
• Where coaching fits into building a more profitable, sustainable business

If you want a business that supports your life and allows you to pay yourself well — this episode will show you how to focus on what matters most.

You don’t need a complicated offer suite or ten different projects in motion to grow a thriving business. In fact, that might be exactly what’s slowing you down.

In this episode, I’m talking about a strategy that has helped both me and my clients create real momentum: focusing on ONE thing at a time. Whether it’s your business, your core offer, or your marketing strategy — narrowing your focus can be the exact move that unlocks the next level of growth. I’m also breaking down the mindset shifts that make this easier (especially if you’re multi-passionate like me) and what it actually looks like to stay committed without feeling boxed in.

You’ll learn:

• The challenges created by trying to build multiple things at once
• How I went from stuck at $50K to six figures by doing less, not more
• When and how to introduce new offers or income streams
• The specific mindset shifts that help multi-passionate entrepreneurs stay focused - without feeling creatively stifled
• The simple process I recommend to help you stay committed to one thing — even when shiny new ideas pop up

If you’ve been juggling too many things at once and wondering why none of them are working like you hoped, this episode will help you get focused, move faster, and actually enjoy the process again.

Ever feel like you’re letting your business down? Or think things like “I’m a bad business owner” and “maybe I’m not cut out for this”?

This episode is about the guilt that creeps in when you haven’t worked on your business as much (or as perfectly) as you think you should. I’m diving into why that feeling shows up, what it usually means, and how to rebuild your momentum without all the judgment and pressure.

You’ll hear what I see behind the scenes with clients (that I bet will sound a lot like you), why so many of us fall into the guilt spiral, and how to move forward even when life has been life-ing.

You will learn:

• What your business guilt is really trying to tell you (and why it’s almost never about your effort)
• The biggest misunderstanding about consistency — and a game-changing different way to think about it
• What to do the moment you start comparing yourself to someone else online
• How to reset your business momentum without pressure, drama, or shame
• What the most successful business owners I know have in common (spoiler: it’s not perfection)

If you've been feeling guilty for "falling behind" — this episode will remind you that you’re not, and inspire you to come back to your business, right now, just as you are.

What if one of the easiest ways to create more clients this year wasn’t launching something new or overhauling your marketing... but simply getting in the habit of following up?

In this episode, I’m breaking down how not following up might be quietly costing you money — and why following up (when done right) is actually one of the most respectful, professional things you can do for your business. If the idea of following up feels awkward, uncomfortable, or cringey, we’re going to fix that today.

You’ll learn:

• Why silence doesn’t always mean "no" — and the real reason some people need a second (or third) nudge
• The simple mindset shift that turns following up from awkward to just “closing the loop” (and why it builds so much trust)
• My personal approach to following up without feeling weird, needy, or apologetic
• The key difference between professional persistence and making it personal
• The best way to handle ghosting, no-shows, and “yeses” that quietly turn into “nos"

If you want to create more revenue without piling on more marketing or hustle, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

What if selling didn’t feel icky… and actually felt like you were helping?
In this episode, I’m joined by another Samantha — Samantha Burmeister, founder of Nomad Copy Agency — for a conversation that will take the stress out of writing copy that sells.

If selling has ever felt awkward, pushy, or like something you’d rather avoid altogether, this will shift your perspective and give you new strategies to implement right away (like, as soon as the episode's done).

We talk about why it’s actually a good thing to be obvious and direct in your copy (even if that feels uncomfortable), how to use "client voice," what AI can do for your marketing, and so much more.

You will learn:

• What most business owners get wrong when they try to use client voice in their copy
• The sneaky mistake that makes your sales page feel flat—even when you “did everything right”
• The easiest way to stop second-guessing your copy and start sounding like you
• How to find gold in your sales convos and turn it into scroll-stopping content
• The one shift that turns “ick, I hate selling” into “wait... this feels kind of fun?”

Ready to write in a way that actually feels good and works?

Listen in for a smart, fun and super practical conversation that will leave you feeling more confident in your message — and probably saying “selling is a service” out loud to yourself for the rest of the day.

If you’ve ever thought there must be a secret to making marketing feel easy, I get it — but the real secret is this: marketing is work. It’s a puzzle that you learn to solve, and then re-solve, every time the pieces shift.

In today’s episode, I’m challenging the idea that you’re “bad” at marketing and showing you what actually matters more than any strategy, trend, or tool. We’ll talk about how understanding human behavior changes everything, why marketing always involves experimenting (not just executing perfectly), and the three shifts that will help you think — and market — more like a pro.

You will learn:

• Why your marketing "not working" doesn’t mean you’re bad at it (and what it does mean)
• What every single marketing expert is actually doing behind the scenes (even if they don’t say it out loud)
• The exact questions you can ask yourself to start building better marketing instincts today
• Where you're already a better marketer than you realize — and how to use it to your advantage
• Why understanding human behavior will take you further than any funnel, formula, or social media hack

Ready to take the pressure off your marketing and start making real progress? This episode will show you how to think differently, act smarter, and stay out of the self-doubt spiral — so you can market your business in a way that actually works for you.

If it feels like you’re doing everything in your business but still not getting the clients you want — this episode is for you.

Because there’s a good chance you’re spending too much time on the wrong type of marketing (the comfortable kind) and not enough on the type that actually moves the needle. Today, we’re talking about the two streams of marketing you need to grow your business - and how most business owners tend to lean too hard into the "slow stream" and end up stuck.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how you can balance your marketing efforts between getting clients now and building a long-term pipeline for clients later. I’ll walk you through why relationship-based marketing is uncomfortable (but crucial), why content creation alone won’t get you where you want to go, and how to find a marketing rhythm that actually fits you — whether you're brand new or years into business.

You will learn:

• The real reason it feels like you’re working so hard but not signing clients — and the marketing shift that changes everything
• What mistake I made early in my business (despite having a marketing degree!) — and how you can avoid it
• How to spot the difference between comfort zone tasks and client-generating activities (hint: one feels much safer but grows your business way slower)
• Why tapping into your existing network (even if it feels awkward) can totally change your business
• Five uncomfortable-but-necessary questions that can unlock way more clients than tweaking your freebie ever will

Whether you're just getting started or already running a six-figure business, this episode will help you refocus on what actually grows your client base — and ditch the busywork that keeps you stuck.

What if the reason something didn’t work wasn’t because you didn’t try hard enough—but because it wasn't the right fit for you in the first place?

We’ve all heard the advice: “All strategies work—you just have to commit.” I used to believe it myself! But after years of coaching, investing, and watching what actually happens in real businesses (including my own), I’ve changed my mind.

The truth is: not all strategies will work for you. And forcing yourself to stick with something that doesn’t fit is a fast track to burnout, self-blame, and second-guessing everything.

In this episode, we’re unpacking the “all strategies work” myth and talking about how to actually choose a smart strategy that fits your strengths, your business model, and your clients. Plus, I’ll share what to look for when evaluating courses, coaches, and advice—and how to stop thinking you’re the problem when something doesn’t work.

You will learn:

• What I used to believe about strategy (and why I’ve completely changed my mind).
• The difference between strategies that look good on paper vs. the ones you’ll actually follow through on.
• The five strategy questions I ask my clients to figure out what’s actually going to work for them.
• What to do first when what you thought was a good idea doesn’t get the results you wanted.
• The sneaky way blaming yourself becomes a distraction from solving the real problem.

Whether you're just getting started or already running a six-figure business, this episode will help you choose smarter strategies that actually work for you.

I have a full plate—and if you're anything like me, that’s kind of how you like it. Until suddenly, you don’t. In this episode, I’m talking about how I manage running a business, raising three kids, keeping up with a volunteer role that might as well be a second job, and still somehow remembering to moisturize.

Instead of pushing through with willpower or pretending I’m a productivity robot, I’ve learned how to work with myself—my energy, my mood, my motivation—by pulling the right levers. I’m sharing what those levers are, how I use them, and why they help me get things done in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming or unsustainable. It’s simple, real, and yes… involves a little bit of potty humor. Just how I like it 😉

You’ll learn:

• The 3 levers of motivation that help me get everything done (plus my silly acronym that makes them impossible to forget!)
• What clean underwear, Gilmore Girls, and a break from my podcast taught me about motivation.
• The questions to ask when you’re staring at a task and just can’t make yourself start.
• Why you don't actually have to have a deep “why” for doing things.
• Where to look when you think something should be easy, but you’re still not doing it.

If your plate is full (and maybe a little too full), I hope this episode gives you some clarity, a few ideas to try, and at least one good laugh. Listen now!

You know what’s actually wasting your time? Worrying about wasting time.

It’s a sneaky little trap. You tell yourself you need to be more efficient. You overanalyze every decision. You hesitate to take action unless you’re sure it’ll work. And before you know it? You’ve spent hours (or days… or months) thinking about what to do instead of just doing it.

This is the time wasting cycle. And it’s sneaky—because it feels productive. But the only way to create real momentum in your business? Taking action, even when you’re not 100% sure it will work.

The time wasting cycle impacts business owners at every level—whether they’re just starting out or running a fully booked business. The fear of making the wrong move doesn’t go away as you grow… but learning how to move anyway is the skill that will change everything. So on this episode, we’re breaking down why this happens, and the small shifts that will get you out of this loop for good.

You will learn:

• Why trying to avoid wasting time is actually the thing that’s wasting your time the most.
• The question to ask yourself when you catch your brain demanding certainty before you take action.
• How to tell the difference between “thinking through a decision” and “spiraling into overanalysis.”
• The underdog mindset that helped me grow my business faster.
• A fun visual from the San Antonio Spurs (yes, basketball wisdom!) that will completely change how you see consistency in your business.

So if you’ve been telling yourself, I don’t want to waste time on something that might not work—this episode is exactly what you need to hear. Hit play now!

Have you ever found yourself frustrated that something in your business feels harder than it should? Maybe it’s marketing, selling, setting boundaries, or just keeping up—and you catch yourself thinking, Why is this so difficult for me when it seems so easy for everyone else?If so, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common thoughts my clients have. And the worst part? The more you believe it should be easier, the harder it actually feels.

In this episode, I'm unpacking the sneaky ways self-judgment keeps you from finding helpful solutions. I’ll walk you through a 4 step process to move from stuck and shaming yourself to self-compassion and problem-solving. I'll break down the layers of judgment that make things feel even harder than they need to be, how to shift out of resistance, and why the solutions that actually work for you probably won’t look like what you see other people doing. Plus, I'll share some unexpected life hacks (sticker charts aren't just for kids!) and the moment I realized I could no longer be trusted to remember anything without a system.

You will learn:

• My 4 step process to help you tackle hard things in your business with more ease and less self-judgement.
• The sneaky thought that will instantly make things more difficult for you (and how to catch yourself before falling into this trap!)
• The simple exercise you can do right now to start showing yourself more compassion (instead of being your own worst critic)
• The surprising solutions my clients have used to make overcoming business challenges simpler (proof that whatever works, works!)

If you’ve been feeling stuck in frustration, thinking you should be able to work through something on willpower alone, this episode will give you the permission—and the process—to be kinder to yourself and make things easier. Tune in now!

If you’ve ever had a slow period in business and immediately thought, Maybe I should just get a real job, you’re not alone. When income isn’t predictable, it’s easy to spiral and assume something is wrong. But let’s be real—nothing about traditional employment is guaranteed either. Your business can actually be the most stable thing in your life... once you learn how to plan for the normal ups and downs that every business experiences.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what could be causing revenue swings in your business (hint: it’s not just external factors), the mindset shifts that will help you stop making every dip in sales mean something terrible, and how to create more stability without sacrificing flexibility. We’re also talking about why some business owners quietly start avoiding signing new clients without even realizing it, and how to make sure you’re not accidentally one of them.

You will learn:

• Why “income instability” is often more about how you think about money than what’s actually happening in your business
• How to set up your offers and business model to avoid feast-or-famine cycles (without making everything complicated)
• The most effective way to prepare for slower seasons without panicking or hoarding cash like the apocalypse is coming
• The sneaky ways fully booked business owners push away new clients (and how to stop doing it)
• What to do if your usual marketing and sales strategies suddenly stop working (and why the answer isn’t to immediately change everything)

The truth is, income variation isn't the problem. It’s how you respond to it that matters. If you want to build a business that feels stable—even when sales fluctuate—this episode will show you how. Tune in now!

Failure isn’t the opposite of success—it’s part of it. Every successful business owner has a long list of things they tried that didn't work. But instead of letting those failures stop them, they used them as stepping stones to get better, refine their strategy, and ultimately build something that works. If you’ve been playing it safe in your business because you’re afraid of failing, this episode is your permission slip to mess up spectacularly—and grow because of it.

This week, I’m talking about why the only way to truly figure things out in business is by actually doing them—yes, even if you totally flop. Watching my son’s middle school basketball games made me realize something: kids know that mistakes are how you learn, but adults? We get so stuck trying to avoid them that we stop ourselves from learning at all. So if you’ve ever wished you could think your way to success without a single misstep… well, let’s talk about why that’s never going to happen (and why that’s actually great news for you).

You will learn:

• What middle school basketball players understand about learning that most business owners completely miss.
• Why the biggest risk to your business isn’t making mistakes, but avoiding them.
• Why your brain naturally clings to the idea that success can be achieved without failing (and how to move forward once you realize that’s not possible).
• The reason failure cements lessons in your brain more effectively than any book, course, or expert advice ever could.
• How to stop making failure mean something personal about you so you can actually learn from it and grow from it, instead of just feeling terrible about it.

If you’ve been waiting for certainty before making moves in your business, this episode will help you see that real certainty comes from experience. Tune in now and start making failure work for you instead of against you.

If you’ve ever felt like you can’t move forward in your business because you don’t have the perfect plan, you’re not alone. So many business owners get stuck in overthinking, tweaking, and perfecting instead of just taking action, all because they’ve been told there’s a "right way" to do things. But what if obsessing over best practices is slowing you down? What if the key to getting results isn’t doing things the best way, but simply finding a way that actually gets you to do the thing?

In this episode, I’m diving into the trap of best practices and why waiting until you can do something the “right” way often leads to doing nothing at all. This applies to marketing, selling, content creation—literally every part of running a business. I’m sharing how I approach this in my own business, why I never follow every so-called expert recommendation, and how you can simplify the way you show up so that it the way you show up gets you results (without the stress, overwhelm, or wasted time).

You will learn:

• Why you're struggling with consistency, and how to make showing up easier.
• The simple question you can ask yourself to create a strategy for your business that you can follow through on.
• How to stop overthinking and start getting things done (even when it’s messy and imperfect).
• How to tell if trying to optimize your business systems and strategy is hurting you more than helping you.
• Why I actively choose not to follow the "best practice" recommendations from experts, and recommend you do the same.

And more!

If you’ve been overcomplicating things, waiting until you can do them “right,” or holding yourself back because you’re afraid of being inefficient—this episode is for you. Tune in now and start seeing results from what you realistically have the time and energy to do.

Getting fully booked is the goal—but when you hit it, then what? The truth is, many business owners unknowingly avoid getting fully booked because they don’t know what comes next. So today, we’re making sure you have a clear plan for what to do once your calendar is full.

In this Q&A-style episode, I’m answering all your questions about what happens when you’re fully booked—how and when to start a waitlist, how to market a waitlist, how to deal with waitlist ghosting, and more. I’m also breaking down why keeping your sales process running (even when you have no immediate availability) is the key to long-term revenue stability. Plus, I’ll share how I run my own waitlist and what I’ve learned along the way.

You will learn:

• The biggest mistake business owners make when they get fully booked—and how to avoid it
• How to set up a waitlist that keeps demand high without adding unnecessary complexity to your systems and workload
• What to say in your marketing when you have a waitlist—without it feeling phony
• How to know if it’s time to raise your prices (and why the answer isn’t always “yes”)

If you’re not fully booked yet, this episode will help you plan ahead so you’re ready when it happens. And if you are fully booked, it will give you the tools to make sure you stay that way, without constantly stressing about where your next client is coming from. Listen now!

When most people talk about consistency in business, they make it sound like the key to success is doing the same thing every day, at the same time, like clockwork. And if that doesn’t work for you? It’s easy to assume that you are the problem. But the reality is, that rigid definition of consistency isn’t actually what helps people get results. In this episode, I’m breaking down a version of consistency that works - not just for me, but for my clients, too.

This is the final episode in my 3-part series on what’s actually stopping you from getting clients, and today we’re covering what might be the biggest gap of all - sticking with something long enough for it to work. But that doesn’t mean forcing yourself into an unnatural routine or following a structure that burns you out. It means finding a way to keep showing up on average over time, in a way that makes sense for how you like to work. I’m also talking about how frequently you need to be sharing your message, why people aren’t as aware of you as you assume they are, and why changing things up too often is like hitting a reset button on the trust you’ve built with your audience.

You will learn:

• My unique definition of consistency and how it can help you sign clients.
• How to working in bursts or not following a strict schedule can still get you the results you want in your business.
• Why your message always needs more repetition than you think (and how to handle the discomfort of feeling annoying).
• The unhelpful thought that used to trip me up when it came to marketing, and how I shifted my thinking to get out of my own way.

And more!

This episode will help you see where you might be losing momentum without realizing it. Tune in now to rethink consistency in a way that actually works for you - and for the clients who are waiting to hire you.

Most business owners believe their biggest struggle is finding clients. But what if the real issue is that not enough of the right people even know you exist? You can be the best in your industry, with the perfect offer and all the expertise in the world, but if your ideal clients don’t know about you, they can’t hire you. Visibility isn’t just about showing up - it's about making sure you're visible to the right people in the right way.

In this second episode of my three-part series on getting clients, we’re tackling the visibility gap - one of the biggest reasons businesses don’t succeed. I’m sharing what I got wrong in the beginning, what I see so many entrepreneurs struggling with, and the shifts you need to make so your ideal clients actually see you, know you, and realize that hiring you is an option. You’ll learn how to build visibility that turns into clients, without feeling salesy or awkward.

You will learn:

• Who actually needs to know about you (spoiler: it’s not just anyone).
• What happens when you mistake “being visible” for “getting clients” - and how to fix it.
• The common marketing mistake that keeps your ideal clients from realizing you’re available to help them.
• Why simply engaging in communities isn’t enough - and the subtle shift that makes all the difference.
• How to make sure people remember you when they’re ready to buy.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” marketing but not seeing results, this episode is a must-listen. And don’t forget to tune in next week for the third and final part of this series, where I’ll be diving into the last key to getting clients - the part that brings everything together and turns visibility into results.

After eight years in business, I’ve learned a lot – and not just the shiny, highlight-reel stuff. This year, I made some big changes that challenged me, freed me up for priorities in my personal life, and helped my business feel sustainable again. In this episode, I’m sharing the 10 lessons I’ve learned over the past 8 years, and advice for making your business work for you and not the other way around.

This isn’t your typical “end-of-year recap.” I’m sharing the unfiltered behind-the-scenes of how my business changed in 2024, what (both personally and professionally) led me to make those changes, and how I worked through all the emotions that came up along the way (unsurprisingly, there were many).

You’ll hear what it’s been like to scale back a million-dollar business, prioritize my family, and stop making decisions based on what others might think. I hope it inspires you to reflect on what you really need in this season of your life – and to feel empowered to make changes that work for you.

You Will Learn:

• How I adapted my business to fit my life as a mom of teenagers with a full plate.
• Why letting go and trusting the process (while cliché!) are some of the most helpful pieces of business advice out there.
• What pricing for demand looks like in action – and how it helped me fill my roster faster than ever.
• How focusing on profits and quality of life, not just growth for the sake of growth, changed the way I make decisions.
• What my "no more working for free era" has actually looked like, and why it might be something you need to consider for yourself.

Are you gearing up for 2025 and wondering if investing in coaching is the right move for you?

Whether you’re ready to dream bigger, recover from burnout, or simply get some extra support and encouragement, investing in coaching can be a game changing business decision that gets you to your goals faster. But with so many options out there, it can feel overwhelming to decide what’s best for you.

In this episode, I’m breaking it all down to help you figure out exactly what kind of coaching investment makes sense for you - for your personality, preferences, budget, and business needs. I share why I personally chose to invest in 1:1 coaching this year after taking a year off from having a coach and deconstructing my beliefs about the coaching industry.

Ready for a fresh, honest take on scaling your business?

My friend Michelle Vroom recently had me as a guest on a live she hosted in her Facebook group, and it was such a fun conversation I wanted to bring it to you on the podcast.

On this episode, we dig deep into the realities of scaling that most business owners aren’t talking about. We get real about the highs, lows, and “aha” moments we’ve each had both scaling and unscaling our businesses, and shed light on the pressures and the pivotal choices that come with growth. We also talk about why scaling is not a “one size fits all” journey, and the shifts we’ve each made to find alignment and simplicity in our own ways.

You will learn:

• The unseen pressures and realities of scaling that most online entrepreneurs face.
• Key signs it might be time to pivot your business model.
• How to create a business that fits your life (and not the other way around).
• Why relationship marketing and high-touch offers might be the next big things in 2025.
• The truth about mindset work and why it’s only part of the business building equation.

This is a candid conversation about the behind-the-scenes of building a successful business and navigating the unexpected costs – both financial and personal – of getting to the top. If you want to hear our unfiltered truths about scaling and how you can create a business that truly supports you, don't miss this episode!

The journey to going after big goals is often challenging.

Today I’m sharing a little bit about my personal life that had a lot of lessons in it that I think are relevant to business.

I've faced my fair share of rejections and self-doubt over the years. Reflecting on my 15 years of volunteering and my dream of joining the executive board of an international organization, I realize how important resilience is. Rejection is universal, and how we react can vary.

It's all about going all in on your dreams, balancing that confidence with a touch of "what if it doesn't work out," and always thinking about the value you bring to others.

YOU’LL LEARN:

• How to give yourself permission to go after your goals
• How to embrace rejection as a part of your journey and learn from it
• The importance of mentorship and surrounding yourself with supportive individuals
• How to overcome discomfort and build confidence
• How to focus on the value you bring to others and use it as motivation

Not one of them misses the person they used to be.

A few weeks ago, I was having a meeting with Brenna, my COO and sister. We are in the process of moving platforms (from Ontraport to Kajabi), so she was cleaning up the Booked Out Business portal and looking through stats.

And then she said….

The clients who log into the portal regularly are the clients who get the best results.Maybe that seems like a “duh” moment - but to have such a clear piece of evidence of it still surprised me. Just the act of showing up regularly to stay engaged with the program and coaching was strongly correlated to that person getting results.

On this week’s episode of the Simple Online Business podcast, I invited Brenna on to talk about it and share our thoughts with you about how to leverage the power of showing up.

YOU'LL LEARN:

• How just showing up can dramatically transform your business
• The importance of client engagement and the impact on results

There are two extremes when it comes to thinking about investing in your business:

The folks who are like “just say no!” and think everything labeled as a business investment is a scam.

And…

The folks who think the more you invest, the more you make, automatically - and that the transformation is in the transaction, regardless of what happens next.

Obviously, we can both see that these are wrong and too extreme.

The reality is in the middle - as usual.

On today’s episode of the Simple Online Business podcast, I’ll be talking about the nuance of investing in your business, and the kind of mentality I bring to my own investment decisions. I’ll talk through my own tendency to underinvest, what overinvesting is, and my questions and considerations to help you make smart investment decisions for your business.

No matter what phase of business you are in, I highly recommend you listen to this one.

I can guarantee you one thing: you don’t have time for your business to be complicated.Recently I was coaching a few clients who were feeling stressed about the amount of things they want to do to grow their businesses - and having limited time to do those things.

The reason is that it’s incredibly easy to hear what’s working for other people, what successful people have done, etc, and think “oh I need to do that too.”

The thing is… that thing might not work for you.

· It might make you want to run away from your business just thinking about it.

· It might not be the thing that fits your personality.

· It might not work for your ideal client or industry.

Not every successful tip or strategy will be successful for YOU, your business, your people.

And the more you try to do - the more complicated it becomes - the worse off your business is.

On today’s episode of the Simple Online Business podcast, I’m talking about how I learned the power of simplicity first hand in two different volunteer roles, and the 3 rules of simplicity for your business.

YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why making your business simple isn't as simple as it sounds
• How to focus on results rather than tasks and processes
• Why it’s important to build on what has already worked and customize your business plan
• How to embrace change and seize opportunities to evolve and grow your business

Have you ever wondered:

• Should this content be free? Or only for clients?
• How much do I give away for free?

While it is one of those things you learn through experience and eventually find where your personal line is - I want to share my lessons and secrets with you and help you save time not learning things the hard way.

On today’s episode of the Simple Online Business podcast, I’m breaking down some ways to think about what to offer for free and what to reserve for clients. I’m also discussing the challenge of setting boundaries when it comes to free value.

I know you’re going to love this one.

YOU’LL LEARN:

These are two major myths that are often talked about in the entrepreneurial world:

Marketing = social media

You have to be on social media to get clients.

Listen… I’m a huge proponent of social media. For all the flaws, it gives us access to SO MANY connections with new people, for free. Yep, it takes work. But it’s also such an advantage for beginning business owners.

And while I’m usually giving you tips on how to connect with people on social media - today I want to introduce you to a whole other world of possibilities… growing a business without using it.

On today’s episode of The Simple Online Business Podcast I'm chatting with my client Shannon, who recently had her first 10k month without building an audience on social media, about her inspiring journey of embracing change and discovering the freedom entrepreneurship brings. We talk about how she got started, the obstacles she’s overcome and the power of coaching and community in business growth.

YOU’LL LEARN:

• How effectively communicating with teams and clients about workload and availability can positively impact a business's growth and success
• Why setting boundaries and seeking support are important pillars of business success.
• Why building a strong team and creating a supportive work environment is the key to sustained growth

Last fall, I had a coaching conversation with my client, Brittany. She had been trying to consistently sign coaching clients for a couple years, but it just wasn’t working. She had an offer, a website, decent social media engagement… and yet it just wasn’t turning into paying clients.

Almost immediately on our conversation, I realized the issue. I told her what I saw, and what to do differently.

She implemented this advice and started signing lots of clients right away. She’s been consistently signing clients ever since.

What I found interesting is that she mentioned to me that she had thought about working with me a couple years before but didn’t - and wished she didn’t wait.

On today’s episode, I have Brittany on to talk about our conversation, the advice I gave her, and the decision to invest in coaching with me. This episode is a fun look into what it’s actually like to be my client. This podcast episode will be super inspiring for any business owner.

YOU’LL LEARN:

• How to transition from a brick-and-mortar business to the online space
• Why people struggle with finding the right offer and marketing services and how to fix this
• How to be successful in signing clients and managing a growing business
• The importance of belief and confidence in your business

How would you approach your business if it was your job?
What would be different?

Every single business owner needs to ask themselves these two questions - because when we are making our own schedules and deciding our own workloads it’s really easy to NOT take things as seriously as we would if it was a job.

It’s tempting to want to wait until the business is bigger or feels more serious to take it more seriously - but this is actually backwards.

We have to take our business seriously before it feels serious.

On today’s episode of the Simple Online Business podcast, I’m exploring the concept of "job mentality" in the context of online business success. I’m comparing different work mentalities—hustle, anti-hustle, and flow—and their impact on you as a successful business owner.

• How to embrace a job mentality in your business to create significant growth and success
• Why it’s important to transition from a hobby mentality to job mentality when building a business

Do you hate failing?
Who doesn’t, right?

It’s disappointing and frustrating when things don’t work the way we wanted them too - plus, we all spent over a decade being programmed to believe that failure is really, really bad.

I want to challenge you to shift your mindset towards failure. Instead of seeing it as a setback, view it as a necessary step forward. Being willing to fail, taking action quickly, and learning from both successes and failures are essential to achieving your business goals.

Failure isn't something to avoid; it's something that actually brings you closer to success.On today’s episode of the Simple Online Business podcast, we’re talking failure. Specifically, the fact that failure has been part of the recipe every time my business has experienced BIG growth - and the fact that failure moves us closer to our goals, even though most people believe it means they are further away.

YOU’LL LEARN:

• The significance of embracing failure and the necessity of taking action in your online business
• How to overcome the fear of failure and tendency to overthink and plan excessively
• How to learn from mistakes and take action quickly
• Why failure is a necessary part of the process of building a successful business

Did you know people have undeniable business growth when they niche down? People also have undeniable business growth without a niche.

Guess what, just like with nearly every other topic - there is nuance to the niche discussion.

We've all heard the success stories - coaches who find their niche and suddenly their business is successful. It's an attractive proposition, isn't it? The idea that by narrowing your focus, you can become the go-to expert in a specific area and that this leads to more clients, more impact, and more income.

But that isn’t always the case.

On today’s episode of the Simple Online Business podcast, I’m bringing the nuance. I’m talking about why people suggest niches, what we’re trying to accomplish with a niche and how to accomplish that with or without a niche.

If you’re struggling with choosing a niche, you’re not going to want to miss this episode. I’m sharing a new approach to niching that will change the way you think.

YOU’LL LEARN:

• The importance of niching

Have you ever asked yourself why clients aren’t buying from you?

Have you ever posted a piece of content and if it doesn't immediately bring in a new client or go viral, you label it a failure?

In the entrepreneurial world, it's easy to get caught up in the success-fail binary. This is the idea that every action you take is either a resounding success or a complete failure. I see this happen all the time, especially when it comes to social media marketing.

This kind of thinking is not only demoralizing but can also lead to a dangerous cycle of discouragement.

Expecting instant results from a single action is a misconception that many business owners give in to. The truth is, success in business is rarely about one-off actions; it's about the cumulative effect of consistently providing value to your audience.

Today on the Simple Online Business podcast, I’m talking about this false binary, what’s wrong with it, why we think this way – and most importantly, how to shift your thinking in a way that will fuel you to keep showing up and NOT get discouraged when something you try doesn’t work the way you wanted it to.

YOU’LL LEARN:

• How to view the concept of success in your business efforts
• The importance of trusting the process and remaining committed to providing value, even when immediate results aren't achieved
• How to break free from the success-fail binary in business
• Why it’s imperative to analyze indicators of business success, such as engagement, sharing, and gratitude, as signs of value and potential client acquisition.

Last month, I hosted an event specifically for coaches to talk through the challenges and changes in the industry, the outlook for 2024, and how to grow your coaching business in 2024.

One of the core messages from the event was the undeniable shift towards relational marketing. In the digital age, it's no longer just about broadcasting your message—it's about creating meaningful connections. As coaches, we must lean into building authentic relationships with our audience.

The response was incredible. So many people who came live said that it is exactly what they needed, it calmed them down and made them feel positive about being a coach again… and everyone said that they 100% would need to relisten to it when they were feeling down.

Because of this.. I wanted to release it in an easy to consume audio format so you can return to it anytime you need a loving coach slap to help you get inspired about your work.

The coaching landscape is changing, but with change comes opportunity.

YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why believing in what you're doing, and then showing up into the world with that belief is considered to be compelling marketing
• Industry trends and marketing strategies for 2024
• The importance of relational marketing and building genuine relationships with clients
• How coaches can adapt to the evolving landscape of the coaching industry to stay relevant and provide optimal support for their clients

I recently flipped through some old journals from prior times in my business - the one that really caught my attention was a month where I was going after a BIG goal that honestly felt impossible.

It was fascinating to look back knowing that I had achieved the goal that month despite having zero belief that I would at the start.

Sometimes, our biggest goals can seem delusional. But here's the thing: you need to believe in the possibility of achieving them before anyone else will.

Today on the podcast, I’m talking about what it takes to achieve big goals - the importance of mindset and belief - and giving some inspiration to all of you who have set big goals for 2024.

YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why the importance of daily mindset and intentional belief is crucial in achieving your goals
• How the impact of consistency in building trust and credibility with clients leads to sales
• Why it’s important to embrace your 'delusional' dreams
• The significance of simplicity and consistency when taking action to achieve your goals
• Why leaning into a simple and realistic business plan is better than a complicated one every single time
• Why it's not about being perfect; it's about being present and delivering value regularly

Sometimes I don’t think cheerleaders get the credit they deserve…

Hear me out on this one.

Have you ever thought about the role of a cheerleader at a game?

The whole point of the cheerleader is to get the crowd going, right? When they get the crowd cheering and celebrating, the team gets excited. And when they’re excited, it fuels them to perform better.

So if cheerleaders are SUCH an important part to the momentum to a game, why do WE as business owners struggle so much with celebration?

I've noticed that for many people, including myself, celebrating our achievements can be a challenge.

It's all too easy to focus on what didn't go as planned, rather than acknowledging and celebrating our accomplishments.

In this episode of the podcast, I want to stress that taking the time to celebrate is not just about feeling good. It's a crucial part of maintaining momentum in your business. We will discuss the importance of celebrating achievements in business. We will also touch on how internal momentum can lead to external success.

This episode is all about learning how to feel good about the work you’ve done, you’re doing, and what you will do as a business owner. Get ready to learn how to appreciate YOU better this episode!

YOU’LL LEARN:

• How the importance of celebration in business and achieving goals has a direct correlation with the momentum of your business.
• Why you might have difficulty celebrating accomplishments as a business owner.
• How to effectively celebrate small wins in your business.

This episode is for the coaches…

I know not every coach has had a tough year, but I've spoken to many who feel like they've been under the microscope more than ever.

Between the economic doom and gloom that seems to be the talk of the town..

Can we all agree that being a business owner is such an emotional rollercoaster?

Owning a business comes with both highs and lows, twists and turns…

And sometimes it’s the lows, twists and turns that really put your stomach and anxiety into excruciating knots.

But your business does NOT have to make you feel this way when you’re going through the “normal motions” as a business owner. It is completely normal to feel vulnerability, frustration, and anxiety as a business owner.

However, the way we handle these different vulnerabilities is what makes the difference between a good business owner, and a great one!

With 2024 creeping up in the next few weeks, I thought this would be a perfect time to chat more about how to handle these big emotions as a business owner.

On today’s episode of Simple Online Business, I’m giving you 5 tips on things you can do to feel better when you’re having a down business day. The most important thing is that you build up your own toolkit of things that work for you - so my intention is that at least one of these will really resonate for you and be something you can reliably turn to when you need a little boost.

You’ll learn:

• How the influence of internal mindset relates directly to external circumstances in your business.
• Why learning how to overcome negative feelings in your business is a necessary skill as a successful business owner.
• How experimenting with different grounding techniques will allow you to run your business more effectively.
• Why reflecting on past achievements on your business can benefit future projects.

When you think of goal setting, what are some thoughts that immediately come to mind?

For some, it’s: overwhelm, stress, anxiety, and fear. And because of these feelings, some business owners will just run their businesses without setting goals.

If you’re this kind of business owner, then are you really working towards goals?

Or, are you simply just doing things for your business to check them off of a list?

I think it’s time for us to rewrite the narrative when it comes to goal setting…

And make it both a fun and challenging direction in your business!

Will we immediately find things that work for us and for our business?

No! But that’s part of the process, right?

Finding things that work for us, and allowing ourselves to learn along the way.

On this episode of the podcast, we are going to chat about the role of self-doubt and imposter syndrome when it comes to goal setting. But in order to see business growth, we as business owners need to overcome these negative emotions we feel, and learn how to embrace failure as part of the goal setting process.

You’ll learn:

• How it’s Important to make time for goal setting and planning for growth in your business
• Why finding a goal setting system that works for both you and your business could be a game changer for 2024
• How you should always be questioning the purpose of your goals and how they are evolving overtime in the new year
• Why learning from setbacks and embracing failure will actually lead you on the path to successful goal setting

Overwhelm is a bad feeling, and I think we can all agree with that.

It doesn't feel good in any aspect of our lives, and for a lot of people, it's really a shutdown emotion when it comes to running a business.

Many of us will just say, “I won’t get to a place of overwhelm. I won’t let that happen in my business.”

But let’s be honest…

Saying that you want to avoid being overwhelmed in your business is easier said than done.

But there are steps you can take to either avoid it, or manage it better!

In this week’s episode of the podcast, we are going to dive deeper into the concept of overwhelm in business. I will also divulge for you some of my favorite, but necessary steps you can take, to make sure you can avoid being overwhelmed wherever it may try to creep into your business.

You’ll learn:

• Why it’s important to set clear goals as a business owner, coupled with achievable action plans and simple business structure.
• How constantly consuming business content and getting caught up in the latest marketing strategies could actually be hurting your business.
• Why focusing on a few key platforms and methods for your business is an effective business strategy for any kind of business owner.

Have you ever heard the saying, “failing to plan, is planning to fail?” Most business owners know how important having a business plan is for the success of their business…

But the idea of actually executing it can be overwhelming, to say the least!

Here’s my hot take on most of the “typical” business plans you’ll find on Google…

Most of the things they say you need, you don’t.

In this week’s episode, we are going to focus on the importance of an effective business plan, what things you can leave out, and what your plan will look like for your business.

You’ll learn:

-What is the importance of a simple business plan, and how it can lead you to success.
-How knowing your target audience, along with goal setting, is much more important than an intricate business plan.
-Why researching your competitors is essential to differentiate your business from the competition.

Welcome to the end of what was the beginning of my podcast experience as a business mentor. If you’ve caught an episode or two of our most recent episodes, I’ve talked about how I am retiring this podcast and launching a brand new podcast from scratch in January 2023.

So, I wanted to have an official kind of retrospective episode. An episode reflecting and talking about all of the changes and nuances that come with creating a new podcast, and sharing some of my thought process around it.

I have been putting this podcast out there for four and a half years. I started in the middle of 2018, so that's four and a half years. And I think for many of you listening, the idea of stopping an established and successful podcast seems like a terrifying leap of faith.

But it is so exciting to me. There is so much I have learned and experienced as a business owner because of this podcast, and I am SO excited to take you on this journey of reflection at the end of the path of Online Business Building Mamas.

This week, I will share and chat with you about the things I believe should be the staples in growing a stable and consistent business. While also, being able to build balance into your current commitments and people in your life.

You’ll learn:

• Why it’s important to make room both in and for your business to thrive to it’s fullest potential
• How showing up as your true and most authentic self is what your business need to be successful
• Why being clear about the message and the content you provide from your business will bring you happiness

To round out the year, and the end of this podcast, I wanted to bring back a crowd favorite as special guest, Breena, to the show to talk about lessons learned in 2022.

I was telling Brenna, before we started recording, that we know our lessons, we learned them. Theoretically, some people might think you don’t need to plan for a podcast where you’re sharing and talking about lessons and experiences you’ve lived in your business, and how you grew from them.

However, when we were reflecting, we realized that the lessons that we have learned are the same lessons over and over and over again. Just in different ways. But even though we've learned the lesson, it's always within a different context, a different circumstance.

This week, we’ll chat about how the lessons that we've learned this year haven’t been mind- blowing, or an unlocked industry secret. Yet, they have been valuable and logical lessons that we are happy to share with you, the listeners!

You’ll learn:

• How when it comes to your business, there is no such thing as saying something too many times
• Why focusing on the thing that your clients/customers want, how is it actually the thing that they need, and how can deliver that to them, is how you will grow a business
• How it’s ok to rebrand and redirect your business as you grow into a more specific niche or clientele that you would like to serve
• Why having or building a team for your business doesn’t necessarily mean that you are burnt out in your business

I thought it might be a fun end of year surprise to do a podcast that was semi-unstructured, unscripted, but still, organized in a very specific way. I wanted to have an Ask Samantha episode where I would hop on here and take questions that I've received from all of you who listen. However, I have not prepared any answers for them.

Although I may not have answers prepared, I've looked through all of the questions. Kind of thought a little bit about what I wanted to say, but I don't have any notes or anything. So you know me, who knows what's gonna happen. In true Samantha style, I will go off on some rants, and tangents, but will always circle back to the bigger picture.

On this week’s episode, you will get to hear and learn a little bit more about me on a more personal level. You’ll also get to experience both some insight, clarity, and maybe even a little tough love that you might be needing in both your business, your life as a mother, or all of the above. But regardless, I hope you find this both educational, entertaining, and relatable!

You’ll learn:

• How to revisit the idea of mindset work if you don’t feel like it’s working for you and your business goals
• Why consistent scheduling made all the difference in the growth of my business
• How my most impactful mindset shift early on in my career truly changed the whole forecast of my business
• Why it is beneficial to prepare yourself to handle difficult clients before they cross your path

This week’s podcast episode is one of my favorite kinds of episodes. Mainly because you, the listeners, get to hear from actual students of Mama to CEO. You get to hear their stories, the ups and downs of their journey thus far. But most importantly, their wins and celebrations from being a part of this program.

Mama to CEO has had SO many amazing women go through the program, so my team and I really took the time to find four women that not only had relatable stories and journeys to share, but incredible wins after completing the Mama to CEO program.

On this week’s episode, you’ll learn first hand from four incredible clients, and business owners, how a program and community like Mama to CEO can be instrumental for growth. How it can not only allow you to challenge yourself as a business owner, but give you the support you need to be successful in your business.

The end of the year means the end of SO many things for so many people, but it also means the start of so many things as well!

Which can be both exciting and scary, I know, believe me..

(PS, make sure you listen to this episode, I have some EXCITING news!)

But we are finally up to the year where I get to do one of my favorite things in my business, and that is Design for the new year.

I do Design every year in December, this is actually going to be the sixth one, and it is just so fun and it kind of blows my mind every year, for not only how great the material is, but how valuable it is for everyone that takes advantage of it!

Because I am so different every year, I feel like I have new perspectives and new teachings to share during this training.

It feels like it just gets up-leveled more and more and more every year, and it's just the best.

It's magical, it's amazing, and I can't wait for it. So if you have never done a Design with me before, get excited.

I think everyone who follows me will say that this is basically their favorite thing that I do.

On this week’s episode, we will chat about the basic points of Design 2023, and how it will not only help you to have personal breakthroughs in different avenues of your business, but help you to create and implement the business of your dreams in 2023.

You’ll learn:

• How to utilize worksheets as roadmaps and talking points in our Design 2023 workshop to blaze a definitive path for success
• Why essential mindset shifts are not only beneficial, but a non-negotiable when creating your business plan for 2023
• How to create an achievable goal for 2023, and create measurable steps towards completing it throughout the upcoming year

Today we are talking about a very interesting topic to every business owner.

If you are somebody who is growing a business, the number one thing on your mind when you're looking at a “big goal”, or really, any goal, is, how am I going to do that?This used to be a really big topic on my mind as well too, when I was in the first few months, and years of my business. Until I learned how to figure out the how.Now, I don't really have the same frenzied energy about wanting to know how. I know how to figure out how. I feel like it allows me to be so much calmer in my business, even when things aren't going the way that I want them to go.

Especially near the beginning of your business, or before you have achieved some of your personal big goals, you may have this kind of sense that everyone else who has made a lot of money is keeping secrets from you.

I get it. I feel like I used to feel this as well, and if this episode can convince you otherwise, then I feel like my work here is done.

On this week’s episode, we are going to dive into how to figure out the how, what that might look like for your business, and how that will lead you to success.

You’ll learn:

• Why failure is part of the process of how to run and maintain a successful business
• How working with a coach not only helps you to “fail better”, but to fail faster and to learn more from it to support your business in the future

This is something that I don't think I have ever really done a podcast episode about.

Today, we are talking about business plans. Honestly, years ago, I used to feel people might feel a little negative about the idea of business plans.

I think that the idea of a business plan has been there all along in the things that I teach, but I want to lean in even more to this topic this week.

So first of all, business plans are something many businesses do. This is a very normal thing, especially if you're launching a brand new business.

Anybody who's going to be giving you money, and investing in your services wantsto see:

“Is this a smart investment?”

“What is the risk here versus the potential reward?”

“How is the potential payoff?”

“Can I expect growth from this?”

“What kind of return on investment ROI can I expect on this?”

A business plan helps them to get an idea of that, and how they will know how they feel about this potential investment.

In addition, it's specifically, a plan on how you are going to make money. Focusing on how much you want to make, invest, the number of clients you need, what the offer is you plan on marketing, and how much you will charge for it.

On this week’s episode, we’ll not only establish the idea of a business plan and how to formulate one, but the understanding that if you're starting a business, you are doing so with the intention of making money, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to do that!

You’ll learn:

• Why creating a foundation for your goals will help you to be better prepared for variables that you may run across in your launches.
• How not having a plan for your business, and hoping that it will just be successful, is both risky and ineffective.
• Why setting a business plan really helps you understand what is possible in your business.

I've been thinking a lot about how to support you on this topic. I know that it's brought up anxiety, uncertainty or just overall heaviness. So this week’s topic is all about recession and economy talk, and what it means, if it means anything for your business.

I personally feel that outside in the world there is just so much doom and gloom, stress, and anxiety. So you may not really have anybody in your life who is giving you different perspectives, different thoughts, and ways to think about it as an entrepreneur.

Guess what? As a business owner, you are going to feel anxiety often. Regardless if the economy is going amazingly, even if things are booming,you can still have low periods in your business. You can still have anxiety even if things are going amazing in your business.It feels terrible, but it is a normal part of having a business.

On this week’s episode, we’ll talk about how you need to have some awareness about how feelings that you have are not actual real situations that you have to deal with. More importantly, I will give you tangible ideas on how to effectively run a business through a recession. This is a real situation in the world, but the more facts you can have, and the less hype and hysteria you can feed it, the better.

You’ll learn:

• How to analyze and put into perspective the actual impact a recession would specifically have on your business.
• Why the key to thriving in a recession is responsiveness to the data of your business, and the needs of your potential customers.
• How differentiation during a recession is the key to success in a business.

Creating a business from the ground up is truly such a crazy thing, isn’t it? When we're growing a business, we have to have belief in things before we actually create them.

There are SO many things that we are already programmed to do, without having to believe we can do them. Taking a shower, getting out of bed, etc. These are all things that we automatically do, almost like it is second nature.

So HOW do we get there in our businesses? How do we make tasks, or things we do/accomplish in our businesses, become second nature?

You need to get clear on what our goals are. You need to see it in your mind first, and then actually execute it in the real world.

What it really comes down to, is that you need to have enough belief that you can. If you don't have any belief at all, then you won't take action towards it. Belief makes a big impact on if we're going to take action, and what the action's going to look like.

But the actions that we take, matter just as much as putting in that belief that you can accomplish these things. Believe it or not, your brain is trying to push doubt on you, just as badly as you are trying to push belief into you. The more doubtful you are in your business, the less action you’ll take, because your brain will think to itself, “what’s the point?”

This week, we’re going to dive into specifically how your business will benefit from borrowing belief, and how it will lead you on the path to success in your business.

You’ll learn:

• How working with a coach will support the growth of belief in yourself, and your business
• Why connecting with a community with like-minded business owners will support your need for belief when you need it
• How utilizing a community will allow you get clarity on your goals in your business, and put you on a path for success

Today we are talking about something that I think is the most important thing when it comes to your business…

Actually learning how to enjoy your business.

Seems pretty crazy, right? How could you NOT enjoy something that YOU chose to create?

Most people start their business because they weren't feeling fulfilled with the way they were living their lives. They weren't feeling like they were making thecontribution they wanted to make.

Another reason people decided to start their business was because they weren't feeling satisfied with their careers. There just was something more that they wanted.

And for a lot of people, they had careers that weren't enjoyable.
They had jobs that weren't enjoyable.

Often I think that this can lead directly into building a business that's not enjoyable.

Building up your business and turning it into something that is so similar to the thing you tried to escape, is just no fun.

On this week’s episode, we’ll chat about what steps you should take so you can actually enjoy your business. But more importantly, learn to not feel so shitty all of the time when you’re reflecting on how your business is doing.

You’ll learn:

• How to learn how to build in enjoyment in the process of working as a CEO
• Why it’s important to celebrate your business outside of just hitting financial goals
• How to get really specific in the areas of your business that are not fun for you
• Why it’s ok to give yourself permission to change things in your business

Obviously, when any of us are creating an offer in our business, we want it to be profitable. We want to make money with it, we want it to work, and this episode is all about how to create an offer that is going to bring in a profit.

So here is the thing that I want all of you to think about, as you think about your offers. There's two roads in front of you, and you’ve probably never thought about your offers in this way until now.

Approach number one - what SO many people do.

They choose an offer, and then they create the desire and demand for it.

So what this looks like is you have some kind of experience, interest, or set of skills that you feel really confident in. It also could be some topic that you're really interested in, and you package that into an offer, and put it out into the world, and then you make people want it.

The second option is noticing what people already want, and making that an offer. Seriously, so many people come up with these very elaborate programs and elaborate niches for these very niche situations, and make that into an offer, and put it out into the world and no one buys it.

I'll tell you what, there's a lot in business that is not easy, but picking an offer that people want can be very easy if you just notice what people already want.

This week, we are going to really get into creating profitable offers that not only people want, but that you feel confident in selling and backing. More importantly. We’ll go over how these offers will be a positive impact on your business, instead of a detrimental one.

You’ll learn:

• How to keep your profit in mind, as it relates to revenue and cost of delivery of your offer.
• Why it’s important to keep in mind how audience size relates to the appropriateness of your offer.
• How industry norms, personal value, and your experience contribute to the pricing of your offer.
• Why creating an irresistible, profitable offer for your ideal audience is super important.

Ads have come a long way since the traditional face plastered on the side of a bus, or the billboard towering over the highway.

But are ads REALLY that important to the success of your business?

The short answer is yes, but there are SO many avenues that need to be considered when you’re starting to think about running ads for your business.

For one, most people assume that the ONLY place to run ads is on Facebook, or Instagram, when these two platforms are only the tip of the iceberg for potential platform ad reach.

Now, WHERE you’ll share your ads, and HOW you’ll share them are all dependent on you, your business, and the audience you’re trying to target.

For example, Snapchat probably isn’t the best platform to run ads if your target audience is 75 year olds.

To be honest, you probably have people showing up on your preferred platform now that are potential future clients. However, you always want to be bringing in new people for the long term health and sustainability of your business.

In this week’s episode, we are talking about all of the things to evaluate and acknowledge when you’re ready to consider running ads for your business.

Regardless if you decide to run ads on your own, or work with an ads team,no matter what way you look at it, you’re paying.

You pay with time to grow it on your own, or you pay with a higher uptick in money to grow your audience if you use a team; it’s just how it works.

Audience growth is essential for making more money in your business, and I am here to help make it just a little bit easier to figure out.

You’ll learn:

• Where to spend time investing in ads for your business
• How to pay for ads in a budget-friendly way
• Where the best ad opportunity is for your business
• How to figure out how to run ads for yourself

This is a question that SO many Mamas have reached out to me about throughout the years. I think that there are so many places, people, and positions that business owners can hire support in, that it almost becomes overwhelming of where to actually start looking.

Speaking from experience, the first hire you will probably make in your business is a virtual assistant. However, there are so many different areas of support in the virtual world space, that I think it’s important to quickly touch upon the specific roles you can hire for your business.

An OBM, (Online Business Manager), or a COO, (Chief Operating Officer), will have a more strategic expertise. They’re going to create systems for you, get you organized, and really help with all of the foundations and new implementations in your business.

Meanwhile, a virtual assistant will take a system or process you already have in place, and help check boxes off of your to-do list. They are going to take administrative tasks away from you, and help you free up time so you can really focus on the parts of your business that will move it forward.In this episode, we are going to dive into my personal opinion about when you should hire a virtual assistant for your business, as well as the things you need to have in place as a CEO before you bring someone on to your team.

You’ll learn:

• How to decide when bringing on a virtual assistant is a beneficial and financial decision for your business.
• Why learning about your “Zone of Genius” and your “CEO Time Activities” might lead you to the realization that you need outside support
• How to delegate tasks both correctly and effectively so both you and your virtual assistant know their roles and responsibilities in your business

This episode is going to be a bit contradicting to some things I have posted in the past. If you’ve been here for a while, you might remember me talking about how your business might not need an email list.

While I don’t disagree with that, I want to clarify whom that statement is meant for.

If you are brand new to starting a business, you don’t need to stress out about growing an email list. Your main focus in the beginning of your business is worrying about landing your first few sales, and bringing in some income.

However, if you are an established business owner, this does not apply to you. If you already have those few sales under your belt, then it is really time to start taking growing an email list more seriously.

Believe it or not, the majority of my sales are coming from emails. So, let me be clear on this:

Even if you don’t feel like you don’t read a lot of emails that are sent to you, there are some people that LOVE to read emails. You are going to have some people that actually are interested in things you have to offer, BECAUSE you are showing up in their inbox.

So, don’t be in this place where you think emails are dead, gone, and thinking that no one looks at email.

People are looking at email, don’t discount it!

This week’s episode is all about the things every business owner needs to know about email, and more importantly, wants to know about how to leverage and grow their email list.

You’ll learn:

• Why growing an email list is so important to longevity in your business
• How an Opt-in will be the thing that builds trust in your current and future clients
• Why relationship maintenance is the reason customers continue to come back for more
• How your business will talk to you and tell you what works, if you just listen

Recently, I have been chatting with many of my friends that have reached either a million dollars, once or multiple times in their businesses. We’ve really been reflecting on:

-What are the things we think everyone knows when it comes to making money, but maybe they don’t know about?

So many people believe, “If I work hard, and hire the right coach, I will arrive at a million dollars. Then, the hard work is done, and I will know how to do a business, and everything after that is easy.”

That is just not true, my friends.

You have to be willing to do whatever you need to do to make success happen, it’s just not an option to fail. Your mindset needs to be in a “getting shit done” mode, and erase the idea of perfectionism from your brain.Lastly, you need 7 essential habits that are not only simple to follow, but if implemented consistently, will help lead you to success.

I am SO excited for this week’s episode you guys, and I apologize in advance for getting a little passionate this week! But this is a topic that really burns a fire inside of me.

This episode has been a LONG time coming. Honestly, I know that SO many, if not all of you, are capable of implementing these tools and creating a successful business!

In this week’s episode, I am going to break down for you the 7 essential habits that I believe will lead you to success in your business. These habits are not just something I pulled out of thin air, but something all of my friends with the same kind of success in their businesses have done, and continue to still do to be successful.

You’ll learn:

• Why your mindset, as well as your physical and emotional state cannot only lead you to success, but steer you away from it
• How utilizing your money in the correct investments, and tracking your spending and income will make you more aware of how successful your business is
• Why having a vision, and not being afraid to experiment will be the bread and butter to unlocking the true potential of your business

The other day, I overheard someone say, “Moms use kids as an excuse to not have a business. To not take action, and to not move their businesses forward.”

And, as you can probably imagine, this just didn't sit well with me.

Moms can, in fact, build a business, in all different phases and seasons of their life. Not only that, but motherhood and entrepreneurship can and should look different to each individualized entrepreneur..

We tend to look at people who don’t have babies and don’t have kids, see their progression, and think this is the progression we should have in our business.Which is why I wanted to take this opportunity to bring in a small group of guest speakers to share their stories on this subject.

In this week’s episode, I am speaking with 4 incredible mothers, and entrepreneurs. All of these women are in different seasons of motherhood, but have found ways to make their business work for them and the needs of their families specifically.

Click on a speaker's name to learn more about them:
Crystal Agyei
Kayla Lyon
Shonda Howard
Dr. Natalie Morse

Being with people that have been or going through the same thing as you, especially in my Mama to CEO Community, really makes you feel supported in these multifaceted shifts in your business. We think this is the normal “hum-drum”, that these are things that we normally do, and that being a mother and wanting to build a business isn’t a big deal.

But it REALLY is such a big deal.

If there is one takeaway I want you to leave with after today’s session, it’s this:
There isn’t a rush, you don’t have something to prove to anyone. Focus on what is the one thing(s) you want, and let’s make that happen.

You’ll learn:

• How to identify the lowest barometer of success for you when you are feeling overwhelmed.
• Why giving yourself grace as a mother, a business owner, and a combination of the two, is truly the secret to feeling positive about the growth in your business
• How being in tune with yourself, in every aspect, is not selfish, but necessary to build a business in motherhood
• Why there are benefits to looking for support outside of just you and your spouse when it comes to your business

If you’re someone that is thinking about starting a business, and you haven’t actually “started” yet, chances are there is something that is paralyzing you from actually starting.

A lot of times, people are stuck in the fear of actually starting, because they’re afraid they’ll take the first wrong steps, or they’re afraid they’ll make mistakes and have to apologize for them later.

Other times, like in my case, they’re wasting their time on things that don’t really matter when they’re starting up their business.

Take websites for example.So many people think they NEED a website when they start a business. However, websites need foot traffic. There isn’t a street in front of your website that people are driving by on a road. It’s in an alley with trees blocking it.

We don’t want to build our businesses on rare circumstances happening to us.

We want to set our business up for success in the best way we can.

In business, there are a lot of things that aren’t simple.

There are things that are complicated, intricate, and things that depend on a lot of factors.

So many people use the fear of “starting a business” as the reason to NOT actually ever start.

But starting a business doesn’t have to be scary or intimidating, it can actually be really simple. The goal of today’s episode is for you to start taking steps, making moves, and begin taking action.

This week, we are diving into the nitty gritty of what you ACTUALLY need to start an online business. I am going to uncover, and share 5 simple steps to help you get your business up and running, and stop making excuses as to why you can’t actually “start”. I’m hoping that these 5 simple steps will give a picture of what it looks like to start a business, and get you into an action, instead of just thinking about it.

You’ll learn:

• How to be confident in the business that you’re talking about, (and for more information on this, make sure you check out Episode #237!)
• Why the things you think are “important” to your business, are actually the things that don’t matter the most.
• Why you need to focus on more technical and tactical things in your business, to ensure the longevity and success of your business

I am going to share something that might be an unpopular opinion to some.

I know there are so many moms that feel so fulfilled at home, being with their children full-time, and immersing themselves in motherhood. And while that is so great for those moms, that just wasn’t my story.

Staying at home, and pouring myself solely into motherhood just didn’t fulfill me. It made me a little (ok, alot). stir-crazy, and I really wanted to put my brain and energy intosomething that was going to also bring in career fulfillment, and money to help support my family.

Our financial situation wasn’t the greatest, and even with all of my degrees and experience, I still couldn’t find a position that would cover the cost of daycare, let alone bring in an extra income.

I had seen many life and business coaches on social media before, and honestly only viewed these people as public figures. I never imagined that I could compare myself to someone like Marie Forleo because I had no idea HOW she got to where she was, and where to even begin something like that.

I knew I wanted to help other mothers to do the same thing.It came from that feeling that I had of just, “what is the through line” for me, and how can I help other moms to see their own. So many mothers are thinking, “I have all of these experiences, all of these skills, all of this knowledge. Now I am sitting here at home, and I have no idea where to go career wise, and I need to figure it out.” I have created this whole movement out of these moments of pain of like, “how do I do this”

This week, I walk you through some options when it comes to starting, or restarting a business. I know some of you are still in that place of not really feeling satisfied with your choice in business, or more importantly, haven’t taken those necessary steps to move your business forward.

You’ll learn:

• How an online service business and product-based business differ, and the pros and cons that come with both.
• Why you might be selling yourself short in your options of online business opportunities because of how you diminish your experiences.
• How you can categorize your options for starting a business into different pockets of niched-down services.

Are you the kind of business owner that plays the, “look at them” game with yourself? You know, the game where instead of putting your time and effort into things that might actually move your business forward, you scroll on social media for hours, stalking and comparing yourself to every single person in your niche. Then, you sit there and say:

“Look at them, I could never have a business like them.”

When really, what you should be saying is, “Look at them. There’s no reason I can’t be as successful as them. I just need to start taking action to get there.”This week, I am bringing it back to when I had my first $1k month. To be honest, it was around the time that I had just made $40 in ONE year.

Yes, you read that right. And I remember saying to myself, “if I could bring in $200-$500 amonth, that would be SO life changing.” Once I finally had that month, it was, in fact, so life changing, and I know for many that are reading this, you might share the same story as mine, that it WOULD be life changing to bring in that much extra income monthly. It was that month, that first BIG win, that really made me feel like I could have a $1k month. When it finally happened, THAT was the turning point in my business for me, and I want to help you do the same. Let’s have some wild dreams, and let’s figure out how to create them together.

I also want to take a moment to acknowledge those of you that are reading this, or might tune in to this episode, that might not be making money yet in your business, or might not be having $1k months yet, or better yet, making low 4 figure months. Reaching those first few wins for me in my business were MORE meaningful for me than goals I hit now, because those were the wins that created the belief. Those wins will let you know and allow you to feel that this business is REAL, which makes them such precious wins.

You’ll learn:

• Why investing in coaching early on in your business is one of the best investments you could possibly make.
• How creating connections with people, both in-person and online, will drastically improve your success rate in your business.
• How the word “no” isn’t a failure in your business, but a way to obtain measurable results for future success.

I want you to think about the last time you were scrolling through social media, and came across a business coach talking about something NOT working in their business.

I would say probably once, if that, am I right?

And WHY is that? This Is a real and normal experience that every kind of business owner has faced at least once in their lifetime. You don’t hear a lot of people speaking about this, and there is almost this unspoken vibe that noone should be speaking about failure, and only talking about, and highlighting, the positive in their story.

When you’re in business, and you’re doing all of the things that you should be doing,and it’s just not coming together, something isn’t clicking, here’s what happens. You instantly question everything you believe:

“Maybe I am not funny enough.”

“I am too introverted for this.”

“My content isn’t relatable.”

And after you’ve questioned and dissected every single part of your business, what do you do next? You go back to social media, and scroll over accounts you idolize, and your brain validates all of the questions you’ve just created. Here’s the truth though:

You don’t have to be different from who you are to be successful, but your brain is going to offer it as an answer. The things that your brain sees, the things that are stopping you from moving forward in your business, are not really the things that aren’t making you successful.

On this week's episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I talk about some hard hitting truths and facts about failure when it comes to owning a business. We will work together to not only identify solutions on how to move forward from failure, but learn from these events, and come out stronger because of them in our business.

You’ll learn:

• How to look at data in your business, and to pinpoint the things not working.
• Why implementing an effective plan is an important piece to your success.
• How being true to yourself, reflecting on your business, and asking hard-hitting questions might bring you the clarity you’re looking for.

Remember that iconic scene in The Lion King, where Rafiki whacks Simba over the head with his walking stick?

Rafiki says to Simba, “You can’t be upset about it, because it is in the past.” And while this scene, and the famous Hakuna Matata song share some more lax insights on leaving your trouble and worries behind, they failed to create a song about the long-term strain of all of this to our Nervous System.

Today’s episode I am talking with Erica Hanlon, a certified coach and general life coach, specializing in working with people with Type A personalities. We are going to dive into all about the super hot and trendy topic, trauma response.

We’ll talk about how trauma doesn’t live in the circumstance or the event, it lives in your nervous system. We’ll also talk about how this is all connected to Thoughtwork; How our thoughts are a reflection of what our nervous system state is, and why people started to see there might have been limitations with only doing thoughtwork, and the benefits of learning more about the Nervous System.

You’ll learn:

• What is the Autonomic Nervous System, and how that relates to your everyday life.
• How the “Window of Tolerance” relates to your Nervous System, and the way you think about your business
• Why desire to feel safe in your business can control how and when your business grows
• Why learning how to regulate your own Nervous System is not only beneficial for you, but current and future clients

Scaling; it’s one thing every kind of business coach talks about all of the time, right?

“In order to grow your business, you need to scale it”

But do you ever get the feeling that no one is ever really talking ABOUT scaling, just that you NEED to do it?

It almost seems like scaling is something most people want to do in their business, but no one is asking or addressing the questions mentioned above publicly, because of fear.

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mama’s podcast, I am chatting with Simone Seol, The creator of Joyful Marketing Podcast, and we are going to share a peek into some of our own philosophies and secrets when it comes to effectively scaling your business.

Now, you might be thinking that you are nowhere near ready to scale your business, for various reasons. You might feel like you’re so far away from that moment in your business, or asking yourself, “can I even do that”. You might even be a business owner that is in the process of making the moves to scale your business right now, yay!

I am thrilled to let you know that whichever category you fall into from the above mentioned areas, you will gain knowledge, support, and tangible tactics to use in your toolkit when you’re at the point of scaling your business.

You’ll learn:

• How you scale your business and how others scale their business will vary
• Why being super true to your ideas directly relates to scaling your business
• How to think about what is possible in the future, because of how you’re showing up TODAY in your business, and the moves you’re making right now.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be in the room?

The room where possibility becomes reality.

This last round of the Simple Scaling Mastermind live event was magical, and everyone felt it.

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mama’s podcast, I invited a few of my Mastermind clients to share their thoughts on the Mastermind and the live event.

As most of you know, I have made some changes to the mastermind. And one of those changes includes the live event. I have DOUBLED the amount of live events we do per year, switching from quarterly instead of only twice per year!

I am so excited for this change as so many of my clients discover BIG shifts while attending.

You’ll learn:

• How important it is to build a community while being a business owner
• Why being human gets you results in your business
• Why we need to reverse our thoughts from thinking that kids are an obstacle when scaling your business
• How keeping things simple and making small changes can produce large growth in your business
• Why it’s important to make business decisions based on the future version of your business.

Today’s episode is all about differentiation.

In other words, when it comes down to it, differentiation in business happens when you start working with more people and attracting more people into your world.

Dare to be different.

You have to cut out this mentality of not being “unique” enough in your business. Women especially have been brought up to think we have to blend in and not stand out. This way of thinking is trash!

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast I talk all about differentiating yourself from the world and getting to where you want in your business. It’s the best way to stand out, to position yourself, and to attract your best people to you. I emphasize the importance of understanding who you are, why you started your business in the first place, and cutting out self micromanagement. Yes, believe it or not, this is a thing.

You’ll learn:

• How important it is to build your business the way YOU want to build it.
• Why differentiation is one of the key outcomes when it comes to scaling your business.
• How even with the best coaches/leaders in the game it is still so important to stay true to yourself, your beliefs and values as opposed to leaning into their direction 100% of the time.
• Why you absolutely must let them (your market) see more of who you are in your business and why this will lead to success.
• How being messy with implementation is a part of the growth cycle

At the April 2022 Simple Scaling Mastermind event one of my clients said that she was ready to start playing BIG. This inspired me to restructure my mastermind - to create space for 90 Day leaps in your business to get you playing in the big leagues.

If you think you’re playing small or that there’s a hierarchy where you are “lower than other people ''... you need to scratch this mentality. Playing BIG is not having a hierarchy, but rather seeing yourself as a peer.

Coaching that is useful is coaching that makes you feel good, inspires you and motivates you. It is coaching that pushes you to DO THINGS, regardless if the thing is scary.

Is coaching really serving you if it only shuts you down or makes you feel bad?

If you know you’ve been playing small or you’ve avoided the thoughts or ideas that make you feel exhilarated, I challenge you in this episode to get out of the box and take the next steps.

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m talking about what it actually looks like to play big or small, and how to nurture that in yourself.

You’ll learn:

• Why useful coaching would never shut you down but rather motivate you to take action.
• How tough coaching is okay as long as it empowers you.
• Why coaching is all about your personal experience and how you feel in your business.
• How rules are only opinions and how we shouldn’t latch on to rules or use coaching as an excuse to play small.

People are willing to hustle and follow someone else’s rules and ideas to get to a certain place, and it totally works - but then they realize that what they’ve built is something they don’t even want.

Early in our businesses, we think that money is the solution. And money IS a solution. It solves a lot of problems.

But if more money is the only thing you focus on, the sacrifices you’ll make to get there aren’t sacrifices you’ll want to keep making. But they’ll be sacrifices that are built into the structure of your business… so either you keep making them, or your team does, but either way, someone’s burning out.

As we all know, the term “burnout” is popping up left, right and center. If you’re not feeling the passion anymore or have been struggling to keep motivated in your business, you too might fall into the burnout pipeline if you don’t take action soon.

The way I’ve built my business over the years, often breaking “rules” from well known experts and even my own mentors, has led me to have a consistent 7 figure a year business, working part time, with both me and my team thriving!

On today’s episode I talk about the business you WANT to have in order to find your happiness and success. Less people are in tune with their emotions, and more people are doing work they don’t like doing. Having passion for what you do is so extremely important, and it's a red flag when you begin feeling like the passion in your business is dwindling.

I'm going to tell you a little secret...

There are no real rules in running your business.

You might be shaking your head right now. It comes as a shock to my clients when they come to me with rules and I fill them in on the secret that there AREN’T any real rules…

For a lot of us, we’ve absorbed a lot of rules about how business needs to be, or how we have to act. On today’s episode of Online Business Building Mamas, I dive into why you need to start trusting yourself and your own decisions.

When you follow any kind of made up rule it actually opens up the concept that someone else is the CEO of your business- you remove yourself from having control when we hold fast to other people’s opinions.

This episode is part of a series of themed episodes leading up to the launch for the next round of Simple Scaling Mastermind. These future episodes really cater to the philosophy of Simple Scaling Mastermind and what it looks like now as I’ve been making some changes... and I am very excited to share them with you!

You’ll learn:

• Why shaking loose from the hamster wheel of desired perfectionism is key to success.
• How you don’t actually have to earn any rights to progress in your business or make risky decisions.
• Why one-on-one coaching might not be the best way to monetize your following.
• How best practices might be “best” for some people, but not others, and why self-authority is pivotal in your journey to success.
• How there is no real hierarchy or sequence of levels you need to follow in your business.

How do you feel when you look at photos of yourself?

What comes up for you? What are your feelings, what are your thoughts?

I know, for a lot of you, you look at it and pick out all of the things you don’t like.

Now think about what is the difference between how you see photos of yourself and photos of the people you love?

I’m sure we all look at our loved ones' photos and see all the things we love about them - opposite of what we do to ourselves.

I think we can all relate to this, that when you look at photos of yourself, it's so easy to ignore any of the things you could love.

Why do we do this?

I am extremely passionate about helping women succeed and feel like their life has been well spent on things they truly value… and I see body image BS as an epic distraction from our purpose and potential in life. We are on this earth for a limited time, and time spent hating how we look is time wasted… when we could be feeling good, having fun, making an impact, being with loved ones feeling loved, and all the other stuff we truly care about!

On this week’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I am going to explain my thoughts about photos of myself to you - and then give you some extremely powerful tools for shifting the way you see and think about your body.

Make sure to tag me on Instagram @samanthahms when posting pictures of yourself so we can all celebrate the steps you’re taking towards having a deeper, more loving and accepting relationship with yourself.

You’ll learn:

• Why the work you do on your relationship with yourself is the thing that makes the biggest difference in your success
• The value of putting out content that reflects your real self
• How to shift your brain and allow yourself to think differently when looking at photos of yourself
• The importance of looking in the mirror and focusing on the things you love about yourself

A lot of you think there is some magical shift that will change everything for you…

Sorry to break it to you, but there is no such thing.

I am here today to tell you that you can stop the chase. You can stop feeling inadequate. You can stop feeling like you’re missing out on something major if you haven’t had your “ahaaa” moment.

Stop exhausting yourself by running a race that doesn’t even exist! Stop seeking some made up universal moment of clarity. The magic movie moment where the damsel in distress finally “figures it out”, where things finally come together... where we find pure bliss and happiness. You must scratch this mentality.

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m talking about neuroplasticity - aka our brain’s ability to change. I talk high level about how this works, and how you can use this concept to rewire your brain to create more success in your business.

Also, I kick off the 90 Day Challenge 2.0, which starts July 1 in Mama to CEO, walking you through exactly what we are doing and how you can use it to reprogram your brain for success and make business growth inevitable over the next 90 days.

If you want to be a part of the 90 Day Challenge 2.0, reach out to samantha@samanthasiffring.com to join Mama to CEO, even though doors are closed!

You’ll learn:

• Why neuroplasticity is so interesting and important to take into terms when facing challenges in business.
• Why success doesn’t just evolve overnight, and how it takes a lot of repetition, habit building and consistency to pave the way to success.
• Why 90 days of hard work and dedication is a good start for success.. but it could actually take much longer to witness a shift or momentum in your business - everyone is different!
• How patience in your journey is key, but how even through the waiting, you’ll notice slow progress in your business.

I’m going to be straight up with you…

There is a culture of faking success in the online business world.

The pictures of the private jets, the lamborghinis, the Jeff Bazos of the world! A lot of these people try to come off as more successful than they really are. This causes undue pressure on ourselves and can actually impact the way we show up in your business, or in life in general.

For those of you who value honesty and integrity, but feel like people will not hire you or respect you unless you are more successful - this episode is for you.

A lot of you are people pleasers and have the mentality that you can’t help people that are more successful than you.

Throw that opinion in the trash right now!

Bottom line, if you encompass the mentality that you aren’t good enough to help someone, then this discourages you from being successful.

Instead of spending a lot of time thinking about why you aren’t good enough, you must ask yourself why you think YOU ARE good enough?

You picked your business for a reason, so I ask you to dig deep and lean into this!

You’ll learn:

• Why giving up anything that feels heavy or tight in your body is helpful.
• Why people that have made a lot of money in life, are actually people that have helped a lot of people get what they want.
• How faking success will ultimately deter you from success.
• Why loving who you are and accepting who you are is actually going to help your confidence, thus attribute to success in your business.
• Why it’s important to stay true to yourself and be comfortable in your own skin

Today I have my bestie and extremely accomplished coach, Kristen Boss on the podcast. Her and I share a lot of the same beliefs in business and marketing, and today we unlock several core areas where we see people not having the success that they absolutely could have in their business.

Kristen and I have made 12 million between both of our businesses in the last two and a half years. Run, don’t walk, to get your headphones on and press that play button.

I am also thrilled to share that a big reason for this episode is our “unlocking” or unveiling of an upcoming event later this year. We finally spilled the beans about our live event, UNLOCKED at the Four Seasons in Denver, Colorado. The event will encompass a mix of teaching and intensive coaching- an opportunity not only to spend time with us, but plant yourself in a room with other people who are doing amazing things.

Our clients have been hinting and joking about why we need to collaborate.. and although it took us awhile, we’re finally here. We’re doing it, the magic is happening, and my word, it’s amazing.

Kristen and I so badly want to help people, and we 100% plan on spilling all the tea at our event. We’ll speak about identity, how to create an irresistible offer, aligning your audience growth strategy and speak to all of the important questions you must start asking yourself.

It’s happening September 8th-9th! You do not want to miss this!

FACT: Giving up all of the things can actually make you miserable. If this is the price you have to pay to make 6 or 7 figures, then what’s the point?

I encourage you to think and ask yourself some really important questions in hopes of upgrading the relationship with yourself, and having more trust in yourself!

A lot of you have a lengthy list of action items to be successful- change your diet, drink more water, cut out alcohol, wake up early… take cold showers… be regimented in your schedule.

Low key, for most of you, all of these things might not contribute to who you are at the core.

This concept can be very distracting, and here’s your gentle reminder that you DON’T get paid to do these things!! Seriously.. cutting out sugar?

FACT: Nobody is showing up and giving you one million dollars if you cut out sugar!

You don’t have to give up what you love and enjoy to be successful.

And you don’t have to fundamentally change who you are either.

On this week’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I am talking about what you do - and don’t - have to give up to succeed.

You’ll learn:

• Why giving up anything that feels heavy or tight in your body is helpful.
• Why giving up skepticism is crucial in your journey to success.
• How building a successful business while not being burnt out stems from developing a good relationship with yourself.
• How it is SO powerful to surround yourself with people who are thinking in a more positive way about themselves, and how this in turn affects the way you think.
• Why giving up your aversion to failure is one of the keys to success.

This week on the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I chat with Kristin LaFontaine, one of the program coaches in Mama to CEO and Simple Scaling Mastermind.

Recently we have both noticed a theme come up in our work with clients: feminine conditioning.

Essentially… as women, we’ve received strong messages about how we are supposed to be in the world, and all of that can interfere with what we want and need to do to grow our businesses.

We are evolving as women, yet it’s so easy to fall back into the perfectionist trap, and we desperately need to get away from this- for the sake of our future.

It’s okay to be messy, and it’s okay if you don’t have it all together.

YOU are in control of your messy life.

YOU get to choose whether you’ve made it.

YOU get to drop the definition of what “perfection” means to you.

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mama’s podcast, we dig into what feminine conditioning looks like, how it shows up, how we have both worked through it… and so much more.

You’ll learn:

• Why lowering your standards and keeping it simple are both secrets to success.
• How the message of being a good woman or mom is actually putting yourself last… and why it’s detrimental.
• How the idea of being broken is trash and why we need to get rid of this mentality.
• How those that are the most successful take pride in at least one thing they do every day.
• Why focusing on what is working and the things that are worth celebrating is so important.
• Why the more we are okay with showing up differently gives way to how we change our journey and path for the future, ultimately shifting culture and society for not only ourselves but for the generations to come.

Here’s what I’m noticing and I can’t stay quiet about it any more.

You are doing too many disclaimers before you speak.

You discount your expertise. Your work. Your skills. Your personality.

We need to throw this in the trash.

Imposter syndrome, low self worth or confidence, and self-deprecation are intertwined, and are all hot topics in business these days. The point of this is not to make you feel bad, lecture you, or judge you, but ultimately I want to talk about self deprecation to bring awareness to those who do it on the regular, because these negative beliefs about yourself are uncool!

I know it’s not a fun and fluffy topic to discuss but it’s so very prominent in society and amongst highly intelligent business professionals especially women. I know so many extremely smart, strong, wonderful people who bring themselves down, are so worried about taking up space, and that discredit their efforts on the regular.

It can actually be quite heartbreaking to watch… and it’s a goal of mine for me to help you kick this mentality!

I want you to take this podcast and leave feeling amazing, confident, and with more belief in yourself to show up in the world bigger and as the fullest and best version of yourself.

You’ll learn:

• Why it’s important to entertain self awareness amidst judging yourself and why it’s such a big step in squashing self-deprecation all together.
• How self-deprecating humour is actually counterproductive on your journey to success.
• Why being curious is important when navigating a harsh sense of self.
• Why I never entertain my clients, friends or social circle when people are being self deprecating.

Do you know the easiest way to grow your business?

It’s having people who are already a yes, when they reach out to you.

When you put out so much value into the world, that value does the selling for you. Rather than overthink “selling”, we must trust in the process if you’re putting authentic value into your business.

When potential clients approach you with the preconceived mentality they’re signing up regardless of how the introduction call goes, then they’re already sold.

Join me today as I'm talking to you about creating clients who are pre-sold and how to do it. It’s really been one of the biggest keys to my success, and it’s something that you can all do too.

You'll learn: * Why being yourself in marketing and owning the fact you are skilled in your expertise will allow you to attract the clients you really want - They’ll see the version of you that should be put out into the world. * How as women, we present ourselves as who we think other people in our lives want us to be, and why this leads to boring marketing that isn’t valuable. * Why tapping in and asking yourself who the real YOU is will unleash the magic!

Have you ever thought about gauging fear vs. intuition? The two can most certainly get convoluted. How do you know if the “fearful” feeling you get is an intuitive sign that you might not want to do something or if it's simply the discomfort of the unknown? Sometimes business can be scary, or hard. But when we preach the narrative that it has to be, I think it sets a lot of us up for more failure than necessary. Things that are worth doing in your business don’t need to be as hard as you make them out to be. You don’t need to feel uncomfortable or jump through hoops in order to feel like you’re on the right track.

I encourage you to take on a different perspective when approaching your business. Embrace curiosity and start asking yourself the right questions. Why do you feel a certain way in your business or why does something feel “heavy”?

On today’s episode of Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m talking about how to tap into YOUR intuition to know… is this some fear of the unknown where I just need to find some courage? Or… is this my intuition telling me no?

Your business journey can be easy and enjoyable, trust me!

If it feels heavy or treacherous for you, let’s talk, because I want to help you find the light and ease in business that is 100% achievable.

You’ll learn:

• Why the best coaching is the coaching that isn’t opinionated, but it’s the coaching that puts you more in tune with who you are as a person.
• That when your business feels “too easy”, this isn’t a bad thing, and this could very well be a sign that your business is on the right track.
• Why focusing on what is working in your business will ultimately drive you to success.

Recently my client Shannon Brome-Ward opened up to our mastermind with her thoughts about visibly making money as a Black woman, and how scary and unsafe that is. I’ve been thinking about her words ever since, and it’s a perspective I wanted to bring to you as well… because this is a topic I cannot speak to - but I think you need to hear.

On today’s empowering episode I’ve brought on Money Mindset coach Shannon Brome-Ward in place of myself to give her the space and voice to speak her truth when it comes to making money in business. She believes that changing your relationship with money is the key to creating more money. Which in turn provides you with a ton of options in life. However, this podcast isn’t so much about her business per se, but about how she got the courage to speak her truth as a successful black female entrepreneur.

Listen as she takes the mic today in hopes of spreading awareness to those who have struggled with the same “hush” mindset for years. Shannon talks about how important it is for women to speak up and show up in a much more impactful and larger way.

Not only is she doing this for herself, but for those who never had the chance. For those who want to but haven’t had the courage, and for those that will in the future. As a black woman navigating life as a successful entrepreneur, she has, like many others, jumped through hoops to get to where she is today.

You'll learn:

• How liberating it feels to speak up after years of growing money in secret or in the shadows of your business.
• Why playing small discourages you from speaking your truth or showing up for yourself/others with the most impact you possibly can.
• The importance of moving past fear-based trauma after years of staying quiet.

Learn more about Shannon Brome-Ward:

Shannon Brome-Ward is a Money Mindset Coach who understands how it feels to wonder where your money goes each month and the frustration of never getting ahead. After building over one million dollars in net worth, Shannon discovered the secret to money. Changing the way you think about money is everything, then committing to a customized plan enables you to have the exact life you want.

I’ve got some news for you… you’re not a robot.

And what this means, is that sometimes you and your brain won’t be perfect.

I know… this reality kind of sucks. But I want to give you permission to be ok with it.

Here’s the deal: you actually don’t have to be perfect to be really successful with your business.

Without even knowing, we all carry negative judgements and beliefs about ourselves into our business. This discouragement stems from previous periods of your life and unfortunately they could very well be holding you back in your business.

Females especially, automatically blame the aspects of their business before turning inwards. They place blame on their offer, their niche, the new marketing platform they started using, when in reality it is the thoughts about being “too much” or “too little” that is deterring you from success.

There is no clear plan of action on how to outrun these thoughts, but you have to address them to be able to get past them so they don’t impact you in your day to day.

Know that you aren’t alone on this journey, and you are not too much. This episode is a solid reminder that these thoughts are not true to who you are as a person.

I encourage you while listening to this episode to ask yourself, “How does my brain work?” Instead of judging yourself for how you aren’t perfect or like other people, accept how you actually are - and find a way to work with that, instead of fighting against it. Life can and will get easier if you break your brain free of preconceived thoughts and notions and accept yourself for the way you are.

You’ll learn:

• How self-judgment is the enemy and how it’s holding you back in your business.
• How to have compassion for yourself as a human and how to combat dysfunctional thought patterns that really aren’t true to who you are at the core.
• Why it’s so important to be both accepting and curious, always asking yourself the right questions.
• How to work with and accept your brain as is, and factor in ways that work for you to tackle self-doubt by implementing and keeping in mind a new type of operating mode to ensure success.

Julie is a licensed therapist, life and business coach with almost 20 years of therapy and coaching experience. She helps entrepreneurs and high achieving individuals get clarity, confidence and empowerment to achieve their next level of success. We’ll talk about all things visibility and how showing up as your true and authentic self is the best way to “be seen” in your business.

You're probably wondering how Julie succeeded in her business and hit a six figure income - she switched gears. She started to keep things simple, she spoke to what she knew, and most importantly, she started to show up as her true self.

Society has conditioned us to show up in business in a certain way, but the best results come from when we speak from the heart, be more direct, unfiltered… be you. Speaking your truth will get you farther in business- whether it’s an increase in client acquisition, more likes or comments, and of course, you guessed it- more money. People want to hear what you have to say- and when you’re passionate and energized about your business, clients will be too.

We encourage you to start speaking from the heart. Ask yourself, why do your clients come to you? What do they like about you and the way you run your business? How do I show up as my most authentic self? The more we give ourselves compassion, the more we fall in love with our business all over again.

You’ll learn:

• How confronting discomfort in business increases your visibility.
• Why slowing down in all aspects of business and being self aware is crucial to success.
• Why climbing a mountain is similar to growing your business and how easy it is to take the journey for granted, how we forget to enjoy the incredible things that happen along the way.
• How simplicity and authenticity trumps all aspects of growth in business.
• Why it’s beneficial not to share all of your passions when working on visibility and why you don’t have to say all of “the things”- but rather ask yourself, “what do I care about that will serve my client?”

Hustling isn’t always exhausting… at first.

Hustling can feel like following excitement and inspiration and fun. Until you find yourself exhausted.

The term “hustle” is ever so popular in this day and age. The more we hear about hustle in business, the more it’s deemed acceptable. Most entrepreneurs have the mentality that if you aren’t “hustling”, then you aren’t being productive.

Well, scratch that mentality! I am here to enlighten you with the fact that the hustle and bustle in your business does not equate to happiness, success or monetary gains. Rather, it can lead to exhaustion and burn out, which we all know is not conducive to living a healthy life.

Furthermore, working hard or doing the things you don’t thoroughly enjoy in your business isn’t always hustling. We’re all familiar with the energetic loop of inspiration and excitement that is followed by burnout. This wavering spark of creativity is also a form of hustling… and trust me, the outcome is just as miserable.

The core of my philosophy is sustainability, You want to build a business that doesn’t just pop up, make a bunch of money and disappear overnight. You want longevity!

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I encourage you to think about where you fall on the scale of “hustle culture” scale, and what hustling means to you. I talk about why routinely chasing creative inspiration can deter you from succeeding in business. I get you thinking about what happens to your business after all is said and done, and why simplicity and sustainability will have a long-term positive impact.

Even if you think you don’t have a hustle problem… this episode is for you.

You’ll learn:

• How “boring” is better in business and why creating a simple and duplicatable business is the way to go.
• Why chasing bunnies and running frantically in your backyard is the perfect analogy for hustle culture and burn out.
• Why creating a long-term sustainable business and building a foundation attributes to greater success.
• How mastery, process and systems in business are going to help create a business you’re proud of and encourage a healthy work-life balance long-term.

Is your audience small?

In the world of million+ a year revenue businesses, I have an extremely small audience, currently around 5000 people.

I want you to know this: The size of your audience does not determine how much money you make.

Obviously as your audience grows, you’ll make more money - however, if you convert your audience that you already have, you’ll move mountains.

Focus on nurturing your current audience and get better at selling to them. Believe that your current audience wants to buy from YOU.

Start giving your audience so much value and highly quality results. Those are the ingredients to get more clients from the audience size you have - no matter how little it is.

It’s not the audience size that matters, it’s what you DO with it.

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I encourage you to think about your predominant thoughts in showing up. I talk about breaking your brain a bit about the audience you think you need, why you probably don’t need to be focused on audience growth right now, and what needs to shift for you to get more clients from the audience you already have.

You’ll learn:

• How the organic things you’re doing with your current audience, regardless of size, is attracting new people.
• Why if you encompass the mentality that every person in your audience wants to buy from you will force you to show up in a different (and more impressive) way.
• How manifesting growth and abundance is key to success in your business.
• Why showing up in your business for 40 people with the mentality you’re showing up for 100,000 people will ensure success.

I have helped hundreds of women make money. And the biggest hurdle I see standing in the way every time?

All or nothing thinking.

There are so many ways all or nothing thinking can creep into your business.

Here’s an example… you have a plan for how you’re going to spend your time, and when real life sinks in, you drop the plan. And then you think… planning just doesn’t work for me.

When in reality, that plan didn’t work. But planning itself… could still work.

Many of you struggle with the black and white thinking of “I shouldn’t run a business vs I should run the business the way I want to scale it”. This is an extreme way of thinking and can negatively affect your business results.

Remember, I simply let my business evolve without being neat and tidy. I started off messy and shifted from a membership program, to a group program, then I created Mama to CEO and now the Mastermind, and I still hit a million dollars.

Don’t let the all or nothing mentality limit you.

On this week’s episode of Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I am walking you through several different examples of all or nothing thinking and how it affects your sales approach, time management and hitting your goals, small or large. I also share how all or nothing thinking is ultimately holding you back.

You are going to have non-stop breakthroughs with this episode as all the possibilities open up for you.

You’ll learn:

• How it’s okay to start with an offer that isn’t scalable- there is nothing you can’t fix, change or correct in business - ever!
• How easy it is to encompass the all or nothing mentality in marketing or on social media - and how the results you get are the average of the things that you do
• Why using your skillset or comfort level to take nothing to something is advantageous
• Why eliminating the all or nothing thinking is important when it comes to your time, organization and overall goal setting in business

Episode #192 Two Streams of Marketing

View Details

In Mama to CEO, your first goal is making 5k.

You aim to do it in a month - but if you don’t do it in 30 days, you keep going. However long it takes to make that first 5k, you keep going.

And then you get to work to do it again, better. Simpler, calmer, faster.

You become the master at making 5k. You hit consistent 5k months.

On today’s episode of Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m interviewing 4 Mama to CEO students who have recently hit 5k months.

Halima had made about $3k last year in her business. In October she decided to join Mama to CEO and hit her first $7k cash month in January.

Ema had signed up for all the freebies and courses and still wasn’t getting the results she wanted. Once joining Mama to CEO she began working on her thought belief which ultimately resulted in her making $5k within 8 days.

Victoria was making $6k/year before joining Mama to CEO. She joined the program in December and has already made more than she had made all of last year.

Michelle tripled her business income in 2021 all while having twin babies during that year. She hit her first $5k month in January when she changed her mindset towards her business.

Their stories are all different, and all incredibly inspiring. I had goosebumps and I’m sure you will too.

You’ll learn:

• The transformations possible once joining Mama to CEO
• How believing in yourself and doing the thought work is the key to success
• What it takes to make 5k in a month’s time or less
• The mental shifts made when investing in themselves and how it impacted their business and lives

One of the most common questions I hear from many of you is how to handle situations where your friends or family don't support your business and don't understand it.

A lot of you are curious how to navigate those investment questions with your partners and how to handle the idea of your family needing to sacrifice, as well as become impacted for you to pursue your dream.

This week, I invited my husband Stuart onto the podcast to get all of his thoughts on this topic, as someone who lived it and had a front row seat to me building my business, not that long ago.

The conversation surprised me and almost brought me to tears multiple times.

He reminded me of so many hard times in our past that I had forgotten.

We talk about some “ultimate cheapskate” moves we did to save $125. We talk about living paycheck to paycheck for years. We talk about the mindset we both had when I decided to invest in my business.

And you get to hear his honest thoughts as a very analytical engineer type about how it was, what he thought, and what he thinks about it all now, in retrospect.

You’ll learn:

• Why showing vulnerability is important when asking for help - you’d be surprised how willing people are to help
• How to deal with unsupportive friends and family
• Why it’s important to really understand and be confident in your decision of investing in yourself
• Why I believe investing time and money into yourself causes a positive impact on your family

The majority of us grew up believing that making money is hard, and that hard work is how we make more money. I want to throw that belief in the trash.

The truth is that making money is very simple. It’s not always easy (especially when we are just learning to do it!) but it can be.

I personally have had a lot of resistance to having things be easy. And this experience of ease can be very unsettling.

Recently I had been coached on making money feeling “too easy”. I realized I was trying to come up with some rationale that didn't exist. I earned the money. And it was easy.

And then I went to an NBA game - and what I saw gave me one of the biggest transformations I’ve had recently in my business.

What I saw were people who are at the top of their industry, who make millions of dollars. And they were smiling. That’s when I realized - they are playing a GAME.

Maybe this seems obvious? But to me it felt so profound. Here are people who are masters of their craft, which is playing a game. They get paid millions of dollars to play a game they enjoy.

On this week’s Online Business Building Mamas podcast episode, I talk more in depth about my takeaways from the game, and also about what to do when your business feels “too easy” - how you handle those moments 100% determines your experience in your business.

You’ll learn:

• How to let go and allow your business to be “easy”
• Why you need to stop making things harder than they need to be
• Why you need to throw away the resistance of things being “too easy” in your business
• Why your business will sometimes feel easy and sometimes feel hard - neither feeling is right or wrong

I get questions all the time about how to determine the right price for your offer. And the bottom line is that there is no one right way to do it. There is not one correct formula for pricing that you should follow.

Pricing depends on a lot of factors - which is why it feels complicated and confusing.

On this week’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m breaking down how I think about pricing, how I price my offers, and all of my advice to you as you decide the right amount to charge for your work.

You’ll learn:

• The importance of the value you bring to your clients when it comes to pricing your offer
• Why your confidence matters when making an offer
• How supply and demand affects your pricing

This is the one year anniversary of me officially hitting one million dollars in 12 months in my business.

I started my business in January of 2017.

I hit 100k in 12 months in August of 2019.

A little over 2 and a half years to get to 100k.

And I hit 1M in 12 months in February of 2021.

I went from 100k years to 1M years in a year and a half.

That is crazy.

There are a few reasons why 1M went so much faster than 100k for me.

On this week’s episode of Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I am walking you through the 3 things that made all the difference. Whether you’re still working towards your first 100k, or you are in the 100k to 1M journey - this episode is for you.

If you could only listen to one of my episodes ever, I would recommend it is this one. This episode will open your eyes to what it really takes to make lots of money in your business.

However, I do want you all to know that my story is not a measuring stick for you to know if you're doing it right. This is just one way that one person made 100k and then a million dollars. This is not necessarily the right speed to do it.

You’ll learn:

• Why it's easy to keep making money once you know how to make money
• Why keeping things simple and not giving into the pressure of having a website, email list, course or freebie will allow you to make 100k
• How learning all the things is going to keep you right where you are right now, making no progress in any direction
• Why it’s important to take action even when you’re afraid
• How not investing in yourself will reinforce your fearful beliefs

Have you ever thought “I should be over this by now,” “I already got coached on this,” or “I already know all this mindset stuff?”

These negative thoughts don’t serve you. But they also don’t just go away once you see them for what they are.

All the coaching and personal development in the world does not magically erase these types of thoughts.

You can free yourself from your judgment and your struggles with thoughts that come up that feel low vibe, but they won’t just disappear.

The reason is that some thoughts are habits.

On this week’s episode of Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I am teaching you all about the negative thoughts we have, why they come back even after we’ve been coached on them, and why this isn’t a problem at all.

You’ll learn:

• How to get into the routine of recognizing your thoughts as habits and redirecting them as normal.
• The importance of not having to be intentional about everything you think and do
• The exact process I use to allow thought habits to be present but not completely derail you

Recently, I saw a meme talking about how you have to sacrifice everything to be successful. My opinion… that idea is trash. This way of thinking hurts people - especially moms who hear it and then think they have to wait or give up on their dreams until their kids are older. It’s my mission to expose you to as many examples of caregivers making tons of money, so that you can see that no matter what your circumstances are, you can build the business you want, now. Making lots of money is possible for everyone. On today’s podcast episode, I gathered up some of my top earning clients in Simple Scaling Mastermind to share their stories of making lots of money. You’ll be hearing the wisdom of six and multiple-six figure earners on how they did it, what they think of common money myths, how their lives have changed, and their advice for you.

You’ll learn:

• How surrounding yourself with high earning women shows you what’s possible in your own business
• The secret to making six figures and beyond - it’s not what you think!
• How making more money actually allows for more ease and relaxation, not stress and hustle
• How keeping things simple will allow you to do less and work smarter in your business

“Success” is not just about your business revenue. And it’s also not even simply about the impact you have in the world.

My definition of scaling your business is “making more money, impacting more people, and working less time.”

The working less time part is the part that is the most important for moms.

So many people build businesses that make a lot of money, but they sacrifice things - rest, physical or emotional wellbeing, time with family or friends, hobbies…

To me, that isn’t success.

To me, success also encapsulates the HOW. The way you did it matters - just as much as the money and the impact.

A lot of you have concerns and thoughts about scaling and I want to erase these fears. I want you to become aware of them but I also want to help you overcome them so that you are not afraid of scaling.

On today’s podcast episode, I’m talking about the biggest myths business owners believe when it comes to scaling, and lay out the truth of scaling - what it actually takes and the new skills you will have to develop to grow your business to a million in annual revenue, and beyond.

You’ll learn:

• The 5 myths you believe about scaling and how to overcome them
• How to change the way you think about money - the fear doesn’t come from the money itself, it comes from your thoughts
• ​​The responsibility of handling a team and HOW to do it successfully
• How to release stress by managing your mind and your thoughts
• Why believing in these myths will only slow down your potential to scale

One of the things I’m most known for in the online business space is launching. Not just any type of launching - calm launching. In a culture where launching is seen as exhausting, draining, hustley, dramatic, stressful… My launches are simple, calm, low drama, and successful.

Last month, I completed my 5th six/multi-six figure launch in the past two years. As soon as I hit my goal in that launch, I immediately felt like I had unlocked the next level of lessons to teach to all of you about growing your business.

Before this launch, I had been working towards really nailing down my process. Now I feel like I have that process dialled in and I want to share it with you!

On today’s episode of the podcast, I am introducing you to some of these concepts - the 6 steps to a calm launch. This is an episode you’ll want to re-listen to many times, take notes, and really study. And to those of you who are launching in 2022, use this as your roadmap.

You’ll learn:

• The number one tool for a successful launch - it might not be what you think
• How to practice creating the belief that you CAN have a successful launch
• The importance of creating a habit of prepping your business and working in advance
• The specific tactic to use when providing value to your audience

Ps. I’m creating a Launch Guide with these lessons, plus my step by step process for planning, execution, and evaluation of your launches, to set you up on a cycle of each launch becoming more calm and more successful than the last. It will be complete for the April 2022 class of Simple Scaling Mastermind!

The revenue you make in your business is not the only thing that matters. And it actually is not a great indicator of the overall health or sustainability of your business.

How you measure the overall health and sustainability of your business is in the margins.

Meaning… what does it cost you to make that revenue? And how much is left over? (And I’m not just talking about money.)

From your profit, to your energy, emotions, time, and more. There are many different costs in your business - and on the flip side, lots of areas where you need to be creating margin.

You need to dig so much deeper than just using revenue as a measure of success. I want you to build a business that is healthy and sustainable.

On today’s episode of Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I am talking about the margins in your business. I go through each one, help you evaluate where you are, and talk about what to do if you are realizing as you listen that your margins are not where you want them to be.

You’ll learn:

• The 5 different margins for business sustainability and how to use them as a diagnostic tool
• Why being aware of hustle culture AND determining specific non-work and work times is so important in avoiding burnout
• Why being intentional when managing yourself is the key to making everything else easier in your business
• The importance of having other creative outlets other than your business
• Why it’s essential to allow space and time to work through your thoughts and emotions

This year, I’ve chatted with a bunch of my super successful clients and many of them mentioned one question I asked them as being the pivotal moment for them in shifting into seeing themselves as a CEO who can make money.

The question: “How much do you want to make?”

This can feel like a weird question for a lot of you. Before I got into business coaching, no one was talking about money. It’s an uncomfortable topic for most people, but it doesn’t have to be!

On today’s episode, I’m encouraging YOU to answer this question, and then sharing my 3 simple steps to creating the amount of money you want to make, no matter what it is.

You’ll learn:

• How business and achieving goals is so much simpler than we’ve been led to believe
• The importance of believing in yourself and the success that is available to you.
• Why your thoughts are acting as an obstacle in achieving your goals.

So many of you tell me that you struggle with consistency. I think a lot of you have an idea of how I do things and you think it is the right or correct way.

That way won't work for you. The things that work for me are the things that I found by being willing to do it the wrong way, by being willing to do things differently than many other people do them.

YOU get to decide what consistency looks like for you.

I was willing to get messy. I was willing to find a way that works for me. And that's why I'm able to do the things that you see me do.

I teach that consistency is a super important thing in our businesses, but I certainly wasn’t born consistent. I don’t teach consistency because it’s something I’m innately good at, but because it’s something I’ve had to work for - and doing that work has totally paid off.

On today’s episode of the podcast, I’m sharing my secrets to consistency that I think will really help you see consistency in a new way if it’s something you also struggle with.

You’ll learn:

• Why consistency is important in building trust and healthy relationships with your clients
• My eye-opening analogy for understanding why consistent effort is key to building an audience
• How your consistency might not look the same as someone else’s AND that’s okay.
• How keeping things simple will help you in providing value regularly to your ideal clients
• My TOP recommendation for those of you who struggle with consistency

I don’t know about you, but this time of year, I get into a very reflective mood.

I love to think about what I’ve created in the past year, and my overall journey - as well as looking forward to what is ahead. December has always felt very magical to me, and it gets me so full of gratitude for the past, and excitement and possibility about the future.

This year, I gathered groups of past Design participants to join me on the podcast to chat about what they’ve created in the past year since they did Design 2021.

Take a look at my wonderful client’s success since participating in Design and joining Mama to CEO.

Within 8 weeks of joining Mama to CEO Jessica had her first 10k month and now has a 6-figure business.

Darlynn had never made a goal until registering for Design 2020. In Design 2021 she set a goal of making $120K and has now surpassed it!

Sarah joined Mama to CEO in July. She had her first 10K month in August and hasn’t looked back!

Hanni learned how to build a business that truly lights her up. She has now found a work-life balance while also making money.

Every story is different, but each one is going to inspire you in a different way and open your eyes to what is possible for you.

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I have 4 of my inspiring clients sharing their stories about what they’ve created in the past year since they did Design 2021. We reflect on their growth and how they did it.

You’ll learn:

• How fast things can change in your business when you finally commit and take responsibility for yourself
• Why the people who are fixated on growing fast are hindering their potential
• The power behind setting personal money milestones and not focusing on the accomplishments of others
• The importance of believing in yourself and no longer playing the victim of circumstance

A few months ago, I posted a checklist of all the things I was doing in a day for my business. I didn’t think much of it, but a client of mine commented and her mind was blown about how productive I was during that day.

I realized that part of how I’m able to work less than most people is that when I DO go to work, I seriously get things done.

If you’re struggling to get things done, there is probably a reason why.

Be curious and question what’s going on. Is there a good reason you don’t want to do this?

On today’s podcast episode, I share my secrets and explain why it’s difficult to get things done. The mental shifts here are going to change how you show up to your work hours, forever.

Are you one of those people who can intentionally unplug from their business? Or do you always feel “on”?

A lot of people struggle with taking time away from their business. Some of you might not be working but are constantly thinking about what needs to be done or what you could be doing with the “free” time.

There's not going to come a time where you magically are ready to take time away from your business, no matter where you are - revenue wise, team wise, all of it. You have to make an intentional choice to take time away.

It’s important for your physical and mental health to take the time to rest from your business. I promise the time away will benefit you and your business in the long run.

It’s difficult to learn to rest, but it is a critical skill to develop.

On today’s episode of the podcast, I’m talking about taking time off from your business: why it’s important and how to actually do it - especially when your brain is telling you that you shouldn’t!

You’ll learn:

• Why rest and rejuvenation is important in your business success.
• Why the secret to success ISN’T hustle culture
• How the value you provide to to the world is a crucial indicator of success
• How a fresh and rested brain is a MUST HAVE when scaling your business
• Why it’s important to use your brain in different areas of life other than your business.

Recently I became one of a growing group of women who have discovered as an adult that they have ADHD.

As I’ve sat with this information, I’ve looked at myself differently. The annoying things about me, the struggles I have, the things that I got in trouble for in the past - or that I’m ashamed of in the past.

This diagnosis has reframed how I see all of it - how I see me.

I feel like I’ve found a whole new level of self compassion. And I want to offer that to you.

Because the truth is, we all have something. Neurodivergent brains, health issues, people who need our full time care, and more. We all have something we are working with, that makes it harder.

And when we allow for that, and give ourselves grace for that, everything is easier.

On today’s podcast episode, I’m opening up about my experience and sharing with you how to access a deeper self compassion that will serve you so well as you build your business - and live your life.

You’ll learn:

• How to be successful while being a normal human being with a real life and real emotions - use YOUR reality to set yourself up for success.
• Why coming from a place of self compassion actually gives you the power to change and shift the way you think and show up in your business and your life.
• Why you need to stop using motherhood as a reason you're not achieving your goals.
• The importance of understanding and gaining awareness of your thoughts and feelings to help discover your why.

When talking about marketing, most people think social media, and more specifically, posting regular content somewhere like Instagram.

But that isn’t the only thing marketing consists of.

I created a tool when I first started out as a business coach - Two Streams of Marketing. Once you implement these streams into your business you will see how transformative they can be.

On today’s podcast episode, I talk about a concept I created and have taught my clients for years to help them conceptualize the two things they always need to be doing with their marketing. And to be honest, I’ve never heard anyone talk about marketing this way besides me.

You’ll learn:

• The secret to getting your business off the ground before you have an audience
• Why fast and slow stream marketing is the missing piece to your success
• Why only utilizing social media will severely limit you in growing your audience and signing clients

There is SO much value in repeat customers and it is such an important part of your business.

Repeat customers develop a sense of trust with you and your business, leading them to make more purchases from you!

It also becomes easier to sell to existing customers. You are able to show them how fun and enjoyable it is to work with you.

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mama’s podcast, I talk about how to get repeat customers, and how to handle those conversations with clients (hint: it all starts in YOUR mind).

You’ll learn:

• Why repeat customers are an amazing source of referrals and consistency in your business

• Why believing that your clients want to renew with you is essential to making that happen

One of the major things I work on with my clients is how to get visible.

But just know, there is more than one right way.

On today’s episode of Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m sharing some of the most common myths around visibility (think: you have to be everywhere, consistency means daily, it has to be on social media, etc) and giving you the best how-to tips to increase your visibility to your ideal clients.

Today you will learn:

• Why trying to be visible on every platform is a sure way to set yourself up for failure
• How to determine the best visibility strategy for YOU

Online Business Building Mamas Episode #121 - Visibility Shame

View Details

When things in your business aren’t working, it’s common to start wondering if it’s time to shift to a new business or offer.

The truth is, there is no clear-cut answer to this. I really believe that you can make ANY business work. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that you need or want to keep trying to make every business work (especially if you don’t love what you’re doing!)

So, on today’s podcast episode, I’m sharing my thoughts about when to change your business, including my process for determining if it’s the right next step for you, and why constantly changing your business is actually a HUGE reason that most businesses don’t work.

Today you will learn:

• How being honest with yourself about how you feel and what you really want helps you figure out WHY your business isn’t working
• Why it’s so critical to check in with your commitment to your business goals - and what to do if you’re feeling disconnected from them
• How confidence plays a big role in your success and results in your business
• Why building a business that you LOVE is not just a pipe dream, but actually a determinant of your success!

Today’s podcast episode is a topic that I coach on ALL the time.

On this episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I share with you why I'm so passionate about rejecting this concept of “flukes” in business - why I think it’s harmful for achieving your goals, and how to set down the idea of accidental success once and for all.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

• Why calling your achievements a fluke is a guaranteed way to halt your progress.
• How taking full responsibility for your results will make you MORE money than anything else.

Today we are going back to the basics.

So many people think they need a fancy website, course and an amazing name to have a successful business.

That is NOT true.

You don’t need those things at the beginning phase of your business to make thousands of dollars per month.

On this episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I talk about why websites, courses and business names don’t create customers, and what three steps you should take instead if you’re ready to get clients now.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

• How self doubt limits your ability to make time for your business
• Why having a basic explanation of your business will excite people to work and connect with you
• Why you NEED to invite people to work with you - and how to get started

One of the most common questions I get is how to motivate yourself and stay consistent within your business.

Consistency and motivation come from your way of thinking. If you're very consistent in many areas of your life and not with your business it may be because you have thoughts about your business and what you are capable of. It doesn't make sense to be consistent about making offers and posting on social media if you don't believe it's actually going to work.

You need to figure out why you’re being resistant to consistency. You need to determine and really become disciplined on the things that matter.

On this episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m sharing the three powerful tools to create motivation for yourself without changing circumstances and chasing excitement.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

• Why constant changes in your business slows down momentum and consistency.
• How creating an intentional self concept is integral to seeing yourself as a successful CEO.
• How being clear on your “why” is crucial in working towards your goals and the big vision you have for your business
• The importance of embracing your uniqueness

Are you the type of person who always hits your goals?

You set a goal, hit it and move on to the next safe goal.

There is a lot of power in that. You have a self concept about yourself that you always hit your goals. But I think that some of you are using that as a weapon and it isn’t serving you.

You don’t feel safe to fail, so you don’t set goals that are going to stretch you, or take on some risk. You have this identity that it isn’t okay to fail, therefore you don’t expand into your growth.

On this episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m talking about the importance of goals and failure. I will help you determine the mindset required to succeed, to grow and to really stay on track towards your future and where you want to go.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

• Why easily hitting your goals limits your growth.
• Why being okay with failure is NOT an excuse to not be all in on your goal
• Why it’s important to be committed to your goal AND unattached to the outcome

As the CEO of your company, your brain is your most important asset. It is the secret weapon you have in creating your dream business.

Your brain makes all the decisions, creates your offers and packages, problem solves, understands your ideal client and the list goes on.

Then why do we outsource and let other people do the creative work for us that our brain is most equipped to do?

On this episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m sharing the juicy behind-the-scenes thoughts I have about investing and the decisions I’ve made in my 7 figure business this year. You’ll also hear my advice on what NOT to invest in -- and why.

Masterminds push people out of their comfort zone. They challenge us to reframe how our brains are wired, normalize growth, and allow us to achieve things we NEVER thought possible in our business.

On this week’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m talking about the benefits of joining a mastermind, when to join one, how to think about investing large amounts, and my personal thought process and experience as a member of a high ticket mastermind myself.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

Episode #180: How To Be Successful In A Group Coaching Program with Gretta Scholten

Hang out with me on Instagram @samanthahms

View Details

On this episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m joined by my incredible client and Time Management Coach: Gretta Scholten.

After 6 years of struggling on her own, Gretta joined Mama to CEO… and quickly hit her first 5k month!

When the next round of Simple Scaling Mastermind enrollment opened she was in. She told me that she wanted “to be in a room where I'm not one of the ‘most successful’.” She wanted to feel uncomfortable and be the small fish, as that’s where the most growth happens.

She is now on track to make 100k+ this year!

Join us today as we talk about Gretta’s journey of growing her business, the pivotal moments along the way, and her thoughts on how she has created such mind blowing results in a group coaching program.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• Why small mental shifts are important in getting GREAT results in a group coaching program
• How being a part of higher level conversations exposes you to more of what’s possible - and motivates you to rise up to the challenge
• Why taking full responsibility for your success will create the undeniable magic in your business!

Are you and your business ready for growth?

Have you worked on your vision and started to act as if it’s reality?

Are you ready to be in a room with people who challenge you?

If so, you’re ready to scale. You’re ready to lay the foundation and momentum for the million dollar business you’ve always dreamt of having.

I have so many people asking me when it’s time for them to scale. The reality is, there is no one answer to this question. It is different for everyone and there is no right way to scale your business.

While my 4 Principles of Scaling are one-size-fits-all, the details, strategy, and implementation of those can vary from person to person, and business to business.

On this week’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m painting the picture of what scaling can look like for you, revealing the common obstacles to scaling and walking you through the four most important principles of scaling your business.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• What it takes to scale to millions - and beyond!
• How lacking long term vision can impact your business
• Why you need to normalize (and celebrate!) your new success, and have it become a part of your identity
• Why mentorship and community are essential when scaling your business

If you’re ready to scale, consider applying for the Simple Scaling Mastermind. Applications open August 23-27. I can’t wait to see you in there!

Building a business as a mom comes with real challenges. You have soccer practices to attend, a house to clean, dinner to cook, and the list goes on. It can be hard to even think about balancing being a business owner with being a mom!

The reality is that building a business while raising kids is 100% possible – it just takes different tools, techniques, and strategies that other entrepreneurs aren’t using or teaching.

That’s why I created Mama to CEO.

On this week’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, 3 of my incredible Mama to CEO clients are sharing their stories about how they’ve created amazing results in their different businesses, as well as the advice they have for anyone wanting to build a business of their own.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• Why community and genuine support is SO important when building your business
• Why key mindset shifts can help mom business owners in ANY industry, at any level

• How my most successful clients approach investing in their businesses

• How these clients grew their belief in themselves and embraced fear to create big results faster

Have you ever thought about what you really want? The life that you’ve thought was impossible for you?

When we’re kids, we have an infinite capacity to dream about what we really want out of life. But once we become adults, we feel like we have to adapt to social norms and accepted ways of thinking.

We stop dreaming of a better future, and we start keeping ourselves exactly as we are: stuck in what feels “realistic” or “responsible”.

On this week’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I talk about the idea of determining what you really want for yourself. I dive into why an online business is the best way to create possibility and freedom in your life, and debunk the misconceptions that are holding you back.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• What’s possible for you and why you can get everything you want out of life
• Why having an online business is the BEST way to create the life you want in today's world
• Why your concerns about having your own business aren't as scary as you may think (even health insurance is NOT a problem!)
• The importance of personal growth and how it can empower you to build the life you’ve always dreamed of
• How to use visualization to break out of "normal" thinking that's keeping you small

One of the most common questions people ask me is: “do you think I have what it takes?”

We are fed the idea that there are people who have an “X factor” and people who don’t. We are taught that some people are capable of being successful, and others aren’t.

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast,, I’ll be talking about this concept of “having what it takes” and all the reasons I told myself I couldn’t be successful.

From having the wrong personality, to being quiet/shy, to not being organized, to having kids… I had a ton of reasons why I thought I didn’t have what it takes to build a $100k and then a million dollar business. Yet here I sit, with a million dollar a year business.

As you listen to me talk about what I thought my limitations were, I want you to think about YOUR limitations and start questioning each one. And be sure to listen for the journal prompt I give at the end to help you have even more breakthroughs!

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• The one MAJOR thing holding you back from going all in on your business - and how to overcome it
• Why we all think we don’t have what it takes at times, and why our brains default to this kind of thinking
• What I believed disqualified me from having a successful business, and why I was dead wrong
• Why shyness, having a small social media following, and not being popular in high school do NOT determine whether or not you can be successful
• Why other people’s success, journeys, or personality traits do not determine what is possible FOR YOU
• The one question you can ask yourself to help you break out of the self-doubt spiral - starting now

When I started building my business, I looked to successful business owners as my guide for how to do it. I saw snazzy websites, complicated funnels, courses, and lots of technology to back it all up - so I did the same.

Long story short, it didn’t work.

Technology doesn’t create our results in business - and it’s actually not even required. Yet, I see fear and confusion around technology holding back so many people who want to start businesses.

On this episode of Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I am talking about how to avoid technology overwhelm, the truth about technology in your business, and the four categories of technology that you might want to consider having - and why.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• Why the technology of in online business can feel so overwhelming, and why it doesn’t have to
• How to decide when it’s time to hire someone in your business, and what for
• Why the technology you need for your business can be narrowed down to 4 simple things, and how to implement them
• Why waiting to invest in your business until after you’ve made money is actually a backwards approach
• An exclusive first look at my brand new workshop, How to Build Your Online Business

Thinking new thoughts is how you create new results. But, when most of us go to implement new thoughts, we think there are “right thoughts” or “good thoughts” - and we tend to choose ones that sound like the right answer.

What I’ve noticed is that even with lots and lots of mindset work, sometimes people are still stuck, and not seeing a shift in themselves or their businesses.

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m explaining why. I break down the self-coaching model to explain the connection between our thoughts and our results, and share a helpful tool that you can use, starting right now, to determine what thoughts or beliefs will actually be useful to you in your life and business.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• What the self-coaching model actually is, and how to use it to reach your goals
• Why shifting your thoughts about building your business will change your results
• How to know if the thought you are choosing is a useful thought that leads to action
• Why lack of trust in ourselves doesn’t have to be a roadblock to consistency in our business

Recently a friend of mine noticed that a competitor bought one of her digital products - it got us talking about the idea of “funnel hacking” - where you sign up for a competitor’s marketing/sales funnel to see how they do things, copy it, and in theory, avoid the learning curve.

Lots of coaches and business experts online recommend this technique. I don’t. And I actually have strong opinions about it, and how it can actually slow your business down instead of helping you succeed faster.

On this week’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I dive into the concept of funnel hacking, three reasons why I think it’s a bad idea for your business, and explain what to do instead to reach success in your business as quickly as possible - while not looking at your competitors AT ALL.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• What funnel hacking is, why most of us have thought about doing it, and why we shouldn’t
• Why you should NEVER invest in programs that encourage modeling your business after another
• Why focusing on your competitors is actually a guaranteed way to slow you down
• The fastest way to discover what works for your unique business

As an adult, I struggled to create meaningful friendships. I got married and had kids very young, unlike any of my friends from high school or college. And then I moved across the country where I didn’t know anyone.

I felt lonely for most of my 20s, while at home with babies and toddlers. Friendships looked so easy for everyone else, and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me.

The first life coach I ever worked with helped me learn how to build meaningful, real friendships as an adult. This still remains one of the most valuable transformations I’ve ever received from coaching.

On this week’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’ve invited my best friend, Kristen Boss, on to talk about our friendship. What you’ll hear is the real me, opening up honestly with one of my closest friends. Listen now for a peek inside our relationship, as we talk about the importance of entrepreneur friendships, tips for making friends as a business owner, and our money thoughts.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• The story of how Kristen and I met and become best friends
• What we have learned from each other and building our businesses over the years
• Why it is so important to have supportive relationships as a business owner
• What supportive friendships look like, and the key to maintaining them
• Why our friendship isn’t some fancy unicorn friendship, and how you can find your own entrepreneur bestie!

Sometimes, when we start a business, we don’t question if it will work out the way that we want it to. The niche we pick, the offer that we prefer, the kind of business that seems better… we have an expectation that it should just work.

But sometimes, it doesn’t. And the entitlement to it working actually makes it way harder for us to make money.

I call this Niche Entitlement, and on today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m talking about what it is, the mindset it comes from, and what to do if you’ve been struggling to get any traction in your business.

If you’ve been stuck trying to sign more than a few clients total (or any clients!) and you’re ready to get momentum going in your business, this is the episode for you.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• What entitlement to a specific niche, business, offer, or client actually looks like
• How it could be getting in the way of you making the money you want to make
• The question to ask yourself to begin overcoming this way of thinking
• How you can start making money more easily, right now

What is the number #1 time waster I see in the world of online business? Productivity.

Since the Industrial Revolution, our society has insisted that we must work long and hard to be valuable as humans. It is deeply ingrained in all of us that our worth in this world is tied to how much we produce.

So, we overstuff our calendars, because deep down we believe that staying busy makes us valuable as humans.

But checking off more tasks on your to do list does NOT make you more valuable, and it does NOT actually create money. It really just takes the focus away from what actually creates results in your business.

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m explaining why the focus on productivity is so harmful, where it comes from, and what you should really be focused on in your business to use your limited business building time well.

You’ll learn:

• Why productivity is actually THE top time waster in business
• Why our society glorifies working super hard - and why it doesn’t make sense
• The 2 most effective ways to get the results you want in your business
• Why you have the right amount of time RIGHT NOW to grow your business (yes, even as a mom!)

Every week, women reach out to me asking if they think someone like them (without various financial advantages) can be successful in business.

There’s a narrative that to build a business you have to have a rich husband, a big investor, or some other kind of kickstart to get your business going.

I’m here to tell you that you don’t need any of that. You can be a stay at home mom who lives paycheck to paycheck and still do this.

How do I know it’s possible? Because that’s exactly where I was when I started.

Not to catalog how I’ve suffered – because truly, my life then was privileged in many ways. But to show you that your life and money doesn’t have to be perfect for you to start and succeed at business.

On this week’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m sharing my money story. I’m sharing where I started from, including the ups and downs of my family’s finances, and why I finally decided to commit to building my business.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• What my life looked like before I started my online business
• The financial uncertainty that shaped my beliefs (and anxieties!) around money
• Why I believe so strongly that anyone can create a successful business
• What aha moment ultimately led me to invest in my business and myself

When I first started my online business, I built a website, created an Instagram profile, and developed courses. I did everything I thought I was supposed to do to get paying clients, and it didn’t work.

It ended up taking me a whole 10 months to get my first purchase: one 30 minute coaching session for $40.

It was a long 10 months, and I had a lot of recalibrating to do before getting that first purchase. But the truth is, that very first client is the most difficult to get, and once you get it, you have proof that your business can work, and can make money. Everything else comes more easily after that.

So, on today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m sharing the story of how I got my first paying client, the ways I tried and failed before getting that client, and my top lessons for anyone just starting out in their business.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• Why your first paying client is often the hardest to get
• Why your current business situation means nothing about your future success
• THE most important thing you can do to get clients when first starting out
• Why you might only be one small shift away from getting a new customer

This episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m having a conversation with mastermind student Yesenia Faiella.

Yesenia is a mother of 2, and the Mama behind Mama of Both Worlds. She took a leap of faith almost 6 years ago and quit her 9 to 5 job as an attorney in order to build her own law firm, which she did quite successfully - growing it to a six-figure practice. When she realized law didn’t light her up, she made the decision to pursue her passion and become a business mentor for moms so she can help other moms find success as a business owner AND mom, just as she has.

Today, we will dive into Yesenia’s impressive transition from a brick and mortar business to an online business, including what ultimately drove her to leave a successful business, the similarities and differences between these types of businesses, and the biggest lessons she learned along the way.

Yesenia’s story is more relevant now than ever before - you don’t want to miss it!

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• Why it’s possible to create a massively successful business from your passions
• How your previous work experience actually qualifies you to build your own business
• Why it’s critical that you invest in your online business like you would a brick & mortar (or 9 to 5!)
• How to find and ask for the help you need as a mom business owner

This episode, Kate and I talk about what visualization is, and exactly how she used visualization techniques daily to go from making $625 a month to consistent 5-figure months - in just 4 months. We also dive into her own major life shifts, including retiring her husband and traveling full-time across the U.S. in an RV, and why it is possible for YOU to break away from the norm and create the life of your dreams.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• What visualization actually is - and why it isn’t as “woo” as you might think!
• How Kate was able to practice visualization to quickly build her dream life and business
• What you can do daily to create the future you really want - NOT the one you think you should have
• Why working on your self-concept is critical when working towards your goals

There’s you - and there’s the money you want to make.

What stands in between, is thoughts you have.

Sometimes, it’s just one thought that makes all the difference.

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I am interviewing my student, sleep consultant Jessica Berk, about the one thought that changed it all for her.

We’ll discuss how this one thought more than doubled her conversion rates on her discovery calls, leading to her getting fully booked very quickly, and consequently raising her rates, developing a course, and scaling her business. We’ll also explore the realities of scaling a business and the challenges that come up when you build your next level.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• What game changing thought doubled Jessica’s monthly revenue and ultimately transformed her business
• How to sell confidently on consult calls - without sounding like a sleazy salesman!
• What scaling a business actually looks like - and what tools can help you do it
• Why lower cost offers are not always easier to sell than higher cost offers

School broke our brains. At least… it did if we want to build successful businesses as entrepreneurs.

It taught us this: DO NOT FAIL. And then when we go to start a business… we are confused trying to figure out the equation for getting an A. Or at the very least, how to avoid failure.

Many of my clients come to me looking to avoid failure. But the success plan for business IS failing. Everything that’s ever been invented has come from failure. The key is: you have to evaluate your failures. Then, you make tweaks to your plan based on the lessons you learned from failing, and try again. This is The Innovation Cycle.

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’ll teach you the 5 steps of The Innovation Cycle, how I use The Innovation Cycle in my own business to learn from my failures, and why it will help you hit every goal you set for your business (and life!)

You will learn:

• Why there is truly no such thing as a guaranteed success plan
• The 5 steps of The Innovation Cycle that will get you success faster and smarter
• Why failure is actually crucial to creating success in your business
• What it really means to be committed to your goal, no matter what
• How I’ve been applying The Innovation Cycle to my new offer: Time Redesigned

Our whole lives, we’ve been told that TIME = MONEY. That giving 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week (or more!) to a company is how we earn money.

If you follow that logic, as moms, we will always earn less. Because we have less time to give to a company - because we are giving it to our kids.

I believe this is the reason many of us mom entrepreneurs underearn. We will never be able to out-hustle the 22 year old in his parent’s basement. We accept that will earn less, and so we earn less.

So, on today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’ll share with you why time doesn’t create money, what DOES create money, and how I was able to use this concept to quadruple my business revenue year over year.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• Why society’s beliefs around time are simply not true - and hurting your business
• How your thoughts about what creates money determines how much you earn
• Why shifting away from trading time for money is a total game changer
• Why it is possible for all moms to experience massive business growth - even with limited time!

As humans, we underestimate the impact of ONE thing when it comes to hitting our goals. We think that we need to do LOTS of things to reach the goals that we want to achieve in our businesses.

But the truth is… it might just be one thing that stands between you and your goal.

For my client, Jessica Klasnick, just one thing made the difference for her to reach her goal of a $10k month.

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’ll share Jessica’s story with you and exactly why it’s possible to create massive business momentum with one small shift. I’ll also explain the importance of consistency, and the power that lies in focusing your energy in one direction.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• THE most important lesson moms with limited time need to learn
• Why complicated plans will sabotage your business momentum
• How doing just one thing can make all the difference in your business and life
• Why is it SO critical to stop and celebrate your accomplishments - even when they feel small

As I’ve worked on my money beliefs in the last 4 years of my business, I’ve realized that making more money actually means I am helping more women build their dream lives and businesses. It is THE thing that motivates me to continue to grow my business.

And yet, when I hit a million-dollar milestone in my business last month, I was afraid to share it. I thought it would come across as braggy, that I would be judged, and that it would make others feel discouraged.

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m opening up with you about my major milestone, what money thoughts came up for me at this new level in my business, and why I will always share my wins with all of you.

If you find yourself doubting your own ability to create a million-dollar business, today’s episode is for you!

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• Why I choose to share my major money milestones (hint: it’s NOT for IG likes!)
• How I grew my belief around my earning potential and how you can do the same
• What your feelings about other people’s wins say about your beliefs around your own success
• Why building a million dollar business in 4 years (or less!) is possible for you

As business owners, we have to make decisions daily. And our decisions are extremely important - everything we create in our business is determined by the choices we make.

It’s easy to get caught up in the idea that we have to make logical, safe choices, even when the alternative lights us up. After all, we have businesses to run AND households to manage. It feels like our families, employees, and even fur babies are counting on us.

It’s a lot of pressure, and we don’t have a magic crystal ball to give us the 100% certainty we desperately seek when making these choices. So how do we make good decisions?

On today’s episode of the podcast, I’ll teach you how to start making decisions right now that will create the life and business you truly want. I’ll share the decision-making strategies I use to make calls in my business, and why your emotions are actually the perfect guide.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• My top tips for effective emotional decision making
• Why the “logical” choice isn’t always the right choice for our business
• How to handle fear when evaluating your options
• Why getting clear on your long term vision is the first step in the decision-making process

We know that overworking ourselves is bad for our health. But many business owners still fall into the hustle trap, especially those who are just getting their businesses off the ground.

And as moms, we do NOT want to sacrifice additional time with our families (or time for ourselves!) in order to grow our businesses. Our time is precious, and those who swear by hustling your way to success just don’t understand mom brains. Or any human brain for that matter!

On today’s episode of the podcast, I’ll share with you why hustle does NOT create the results you want in your business, and the one action you can take to overcome the urge to overwork and hit your business goals - whether you’re launching a new business, looking to make consistent income, or scaling to six figures and beyond.

If you think good things only happen to those who hustle, this episode is for you.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• What hustling actually means
• Common myths of hustle mentality
• What actions will help you achieve your goals
• Why it’s possible to grow and scale your business - without straining yourself

Many of us have created our businesses from the hardships we’ve personally overcome. We are called to use the lessons we’ve learned and skills we’ve developed in this process to help others improve their relationships, businesses, and overall lives.

But life is full of ups and downs. We will inevitably struggle again, even within our own specialization. Does this make us an imposter in our business? Can we even help people when we are personally struggling?

On today’s episode of the podcast, I’m chatting with my tenacious mastermind client and parent coach, Ann Kaplan, about why perfection, even in your area of expertise, is NOT a qualification for helping others. She shares how she used the parenting challenges she faced last year to make her a better coach to her clients - and ultimately propel her business into its biggest year yet.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• How your thoughts about your personal struggles impact your business
• Why your hardships can actually be the biggest qualifications in your work
• How to share your struggle stories with your audience - without turning them off
• Why accepting your imperfections can benefit your clients AND your kids

Happy New Year, Mamas!

As we approach this next year, I’ve been doing a lot of planning and research to kickstart my ambitious goal for 2021: to help 100 women make $5k months by June 30th. I’ve been studying my most successful clients to see what it is that takes these women to the next level, and one major attribute stands out: confidence.

My fastest growing, highest earning clients have confidence in both themselves and their offers. They truly believe they can deliver highly valuable results to their ideal clients, and it makes them totally irresistible (like, prospective clients reaching out to them irresistible).

So, on today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’ll teach you how confidence creates “big offer energy” and how you can start doing the work to feel more confident right now.

The truth is, anyone has the ability to create this magnetic energy and attract clients. You just need to do the work on your beliefs.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• What powerful beliefs you can adopt to start feeling more confident now - and how to transition away from beliefs that do the opposite
• How to sell naturally on discovery calls or webinars - no awkward DMs necessary
• Why confidence causes such a dramatic snowball effect on your business
• How to make offers so valuable, it’ll feel impossible to keep them to yourself

When I first started my business, I looked to uber successful personal development gurus for guidance on online marketing strategy. If it’s working SO well for them, it’ll work for me, right?

Wrong.

Trying to replicate the success of multi-million dollar businesses does not work when your main audience consists of a few clients, your mom, your besties, and some social media “friends” you haven’t spoken to in a decade (your old English professor is probably not your ideal client).

It took me some time and a lot of consistent effort to get to a place where I had built a warm audience that converted consistently through my online marketing efforts.

So today on the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’ll share with you exactly what I did to build my online following, including the mindset work I had to do to overcome some self-doubt sabotage and just how long it took to get a steady stream of converting clients.

And, I’ll do it with my clients’ FAVORITE analogy. How is building an audience anything like microwave popcorn? Listen now to find out.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• How I built an online following that turned into converting clients - and how long it took to get there
• A mind-blowing analogy for understanding why consistent effort is key to building an audience
• How to know if your online marketing strategy is actually working
• How to escape the self-doubt cycle that slows down (or stops!) your momentum

On today’s episode of the podcast, we’re talking about another buzzword in online business: “VA”, or virtual assistant.

What is a virtual assistant? Believe it or not, it does NOT entail ordering lattes via Postmates for some overworked executive. It’s actually a booming entrepreneurial industry - VAs are skilled business owners who can hit the ground running with minimal investment and easily build up their earnings to consistent $5k (or more!) months.

The virtual assistant business is EXPLODING right now given what’s going on in our world. So today, I’m interviewing my client, kickass virtual assistant and life coach to chronic people pleasers, Kristiina Craven.

Kristiina walks us through her whole VA journey: from just starting out (wait until you hear how she landed her first client - it’s SO good) to hitting $5k months while homeschooling her kids. She also shares how her work as a VA helped her discover her passion for life coaching, and how she’s handled multiple pivots in her business while continuing to build momentum.

If you’re looking to break into the world of online business but not sure where to start, you don’t want to miss this.

On today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• Why virtual assisting is the BEST jumping off point for budding online entrepreneurs - and why anyone is qualified to be a VA
• The most efficient way to determine your initial rates and offers
• Kristiina’s top tips for finding and attracting your ideal clients
• How to effectively manage your work time while homeschooling kids

On today’s episode of the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’m interviewing anti-racist leadership coach Alyssa Hall about her experience building a business that completely transformed her life and the lives of her clients.

Alyssa was living in the projects in NYC, and had made a total of $1500 in her coaching business (in two years) before she started working with me. Oh and did I mention this was March 2020 - that’s right… the height of the pandemic, at the epicenter of the pandemic.

Now, Alyssa’s made $67k (and counting) in the past 6 months. She moved her family to a gorgeous new place. And she’s changing the world with her work.

When I started my business, I was an under-investor. I believed I could be frugal and avoid what I considered to be unnecessary expenses. Why would I want to risk my hard-earned money without the guarantee of earning it all back?

A few years later, I had a major mindset shift that completely changed the way I viewed investing in my business.

Since that time, I’ve made back all of the money I’ve invested (over $100k in 2020 alone!) multiple times over and learned A LOT about investing along the way.

Today on the Online Business Building Mamas podcast, I’ll share with you the mental shift that helped me go from resisting investments to investing aggressively in my business. I’ll also teach you how to choose your investments wisely, and why investing financially in your business isn’t as risky as you may think.

Thinking about investing in your business, but aren’t sure where to start? This episode is for you!

On this episode, you’ll learn:

• My number one investment recommendation for ANY business owner
• Why resisting investment is NOT saving you money in the long-run
• The three big questions you MUST ask yourself when deciding to invest

As a business coach, I frequently hear from my clients that they feel “stuck” in their business. This feeling typically results in little, if any, positive momentum in your business, which in turn means - you guessed it - you’re not hitting your client or revenue goals.

On this episode, you’ll learn:

How many times have you heard the word "compelling" in the world of marketing?

And does the thought of having to be compelling send you into a self-doubt spiral? If so, you're not alone. This is one of the topics that comes up the most in my coaching sessions, and I've noticed a pattern in online entrepreneurs using this word against themselves.

It's easy to believe you don't have that magical, magnetic energy when you're hearing "no's" in your business. But here's the thing - that self-doubt is what's really killing your momentum.

Do less. Make more.

The reason more people don’t do better in business is that they make it more complicated than it needs to be. On this episode of the podcast, I am going to help you simplify your business, stripping away everything that is unnecessary, and leaving you with the things that matter most to get the results you want.

I’m sharing the 3 questions to ask yourself to help you identify why you aren’t hitting your financial goals, and giving you a framework for deciding what stays – and what’s just a waste of time.

One of the biggest struggles my clients have to overcome to build the businesses they really want to have is learning how to sell.

There’s you, and there’s money, and there’s what is in between.

Most people think the things in between are actions they need to take, and they think they just need someone to tell them how. The truth is that the Internet is full of hows. There is literally no business advice, strategy, or tool, that isn’t available for free on some blog, podcast, or webinar. There isn’t a secret strategy you haven’t heard of yet that will suddenly make it all happen for you.

The problem isn’t a lack of a “how” that works. We have too many how’s. The problem is that no one taught you how to think to make money.

Profitable thinking is a series of lenses or filters for how you see the world, and how that perspective causes you to react.

On today’s podcast, I’m giving you a rundown of the most common unprofitable thoughts, and the profitable thought you can use instead to start making more money, now.

View Details

Myth: If you aren’t making money right now, your business isn’t working.

Truth: Regardless of how much money you’re making, your business is working, right now.

Most people quit too soon because they don’t realize this truth. They approach their business thinking it isn’t working, without giving their actions enough time to pay off yet.

On today’s episode of the podcast, I am talking about Result Confusion: the misconception people have that the results they’re getting now are the result of the actions they’re taking now. I’ll teach why this leads you to want to quit before the rewards for your work come to fruition, and what to do instead that will actually help you progress in your business faster.

On this episode, I’m sharing why I decided to close the group and the six lessons I’ve learned about growing an audience – no matter which platform you choose.

Making powerful decisions is the #1 skill you need to get what you want in business and life.

And yet…most of us were NOT taught how to make decisions, or even how important decision making is. The best we’re taught is a pro/con list, which often doesn’t lend that much clarity to our decisions and has us more torn and confused. And the default mode of our brain is to avoid decisions for as long as possible

This week, I’m sharing exactly what you need to know about powerful decisions, including the three questions I use to make all decisions from simple purchases to huge, life/business-altering changes.

Many online entrepreneurs start off their businesses as freelancers, doing projects for others. What you may not realize if you’re one of them – is how the freelancer mentality is actually stopping you from creating the financial results and time freedom that was the whole reason you started the business to begin with!

I work with all my clients to develop a CEO mentality. YOU are the boss. YOU make the rules. YOU design it all. These shifts create more time in your schedule, more consistent revenue, and better quality clients.

On this week’s episode, I’m making the case for becoming the CEO of your business, ditching your freelancer mentality, and sharing the mental and structural shifts freelancers need to make when transitioning to being a CEO.

If you’ve been in the online business world for very long, you have probably heard about funnels. Whether you know what they are, think you have one, or not — this episode is for you.

I work on funnel development with every one of my clients: from those just starting a business to those scaling to multiple six figures, as well as every single type of business from web developers, copywriters, coaches, VAs, and everything in between.

This week, I’m sharing my philosophy on funnels, why everyone needs one, how to have one without ANY technology, and how to use yours to 10x your financial results in business.

Are you ready for some real talk this week? I'm getting unfiltered about common marketing mistakes I see almost everyone making these days on social media. This episode is a must listen if your marketing isn't getting the results you want (aka more clients!).

On this episode, I’m exposing the top 3 lazy marketing mistakes that I’m seeing as I scroll my feed, and the top 3 principles of great marketing that will help you create content that attracts your ideal clients.

Have you ever set a big goal in your business and then ended up doing LESS? Sometimes big goals can completely shut you down instead of inspiring you. When I notice this tendency in clients, I tell them this: ALL businesses are built one client at a time. Whether it's your virtual assisting business, my coaching business, or McDonald's - we are all building one client at a time.

On this week's podcast episode, I am sharing why big goals can backfire, and how to use the one client philosophy to reach any goal you set.

If you’re someone who chronically judges herself, I want you to take a minute to imagine your life without ever judging yourself again. How much time would that free up? How much emotional drama would that eliminate? How much energy would that save? What do you think you could do with that time and energy?

In the past five years, I’ve coached hundreds of women on self-judgement, and it opens them up to create the lives and businesses they really want to have. I think it’s one of the biggest transformations you can have from coaching.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the self-judgement cycle: what triggers it, how it works, and how to change it - now.

To get more clients in your business, you absolutely have to become visible. Your potential clients have to know you exist before they can hire you! But inevitably, when you start doing the work to become more visible, you will experience this feeling: “My stuff is out there in the world. It feels terrible!”

I call this feeling visibility shame. And it keeps a lot of people from showing up in their businesses enough to hit their goals.

This week, I’m sharing why this happens and how to overcome it so you can hit goals in your amazing business.

Here are 59 ways to get more visible: visible.samanthasiffring.com

Two years ago, I had my first $3k month. Now, I just had my third $70k month. And the question I get from so many of you when I tell this story is: HOW?!

Obviously you know that my audience grew a lot. And my rates changed a lot. But telling you that is not actually helpful to you if you want to make a similar leap in your income. I didn’t JUST grow an audience and raise rates. The reasons my audience grew, and the reasons I raised rates and people actually paid that amount - are WAY more important and helpful to you. 

So on this episode, I wanted to share with you how I got here. What I did in the two years between a $3k month to $70k month. It’s just FIVE steps.

Scarcity is a feeling that will inevitably come up at some point in your business.

My clients run the spectrum, from women who need to make money to pay their bills, to women who want to make money to improve their current situation, to women who have loads of money in savings already.

While the circumstances of their lives and finances are wildly different, the emotion they feel is the same and often the intensity of that emotion is the same.

And for anyone feeling lack or scarcity - the results in your business are the same. It creates this energy of graspiness and desperation that feels bad to your potential clients. Your content and messaging isn’t great, your vibe in discovery calls isn’t great, your potential client may not know why they are a no, but they will know for sure that they are.

The energy scarcity creates in us is the kind of energy that repels money and clients away from us.

This week, I’m sharing my approach to dealing with a scarcity mindset and returning to a place where you want to engage with clients and grow your business.

I tend to attract high performing, smart women as clients. Women who have typically been star students and achieved everything they’ve gone after, prior to building a business. Building a business knocks them on their asses, and their confidence in themselves suffers. They start to think they aren’t cut out for building a business – and this couldn’t be further from the truth.

What is actually happening here, is that people who were great students and generally high performing are actually typically failure fragile.

Today I’m going to be talking about how to stop being failure fragile, and what to do instead. From one A student to another…. This is exactly what you need to stop holding yourself back and start doing what it takes to create the successful business you are dreaming of.

I am hearing from many of you this week: How do we move forward now, with our businesses, while also wanting to be socially responsible, anti-racist, and a force for positive change? How do we build our businesses while being an ally?

In this week’s episode, I interviewed my client Alyssa Hall, a coach who specializes in helping people do this internal work AND take action on it. Alyssa gives incredible insights into what it is like to live and business build as a woman of color, shares what she wishes white women knew (it gave me chills), asks three questions that will help you know how to re-engage with your business even if it is the last thing you feel like doing now, and gives you a clear test to know if you are doing it right – or doing it wrong – in your response to racism.

There’s this pattern I see in all of my clients when they aren’t signing clients: It’s because on some level they don’t want to sign clients.

Of course, they say they’d like to sign clients, but when I dig deeper, what I discover is that deep down, they don’t want to sign new clients.

This can happen for several reasons, but one reason in particular is ROOM.

You need to be ready. You need to have the time carved out.

In this episode, we’re tackling the issue of making room in your business so you can sign more clients as quickly as possible.

What makes someone want to hire you? Is it your brand? Website? Testimonials? FB ads? No. What makes someone want to hire you is just ONE simple thing: them believing that you can help them.

This past week, one of my clients was struggling with this thought, “I don’t know where my ideal clients are.” She felt confused and unclear. She was spending lots of time on passive action, asking for advice, and consuming trainings on marketing — but not taking massive action in her business that could make her visible to her ideal clients.

Most of the thoughts we have about ourselves on a day to day basis feel like factual observations. We feel like we are just observing the truth about ourselves, like we are watching an animal in the zoo making notes about its behavior. The truth is that the thoughts we have about ourselves aren’t factual observations at all - they are stories. And the stories we tell about ourselves become who we are. Not the other way around. Every single day, we are telling ourselves stories… about ourselves.

In this episode, I’m going to be giving you my tips on how to separate stories from facts, and teaching you how to use your Self Stories to change anything you want in your life or business.

Copy is one of the things I am known for, and almost all of the clients I work with struggle with copy when we first start working together. Most new entrepreneurs approach copy either with not much thought or spending too much time thinking about what to write – but hardly ever writing anything. Approaching content like this is draining and demotivating. Business and marketing do NOT have to be like this. There is a better way.

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing the four steps I teach that makes writing great copy really easy. I give you the low down on how to nail it – what matters, and what doesn’t.

So many of my clients think that extraordinary results in business come from being extraordinary. It’s true. But being extraordinary isn’t something you’re born with - or not.

On today’s episode, I'm sharing my story with you - from the very beginning. How I became a coach, how I got into online business, and how it all came from one of the lowest points in my life (I actually teared up while recording). And then, I'm giving you a blueprint to become extraordinary too.

I see three trends among entrepreneurs when it comes to goal setting. First, there are those who don’t set goals at all. There are those who set small goals based on the past. And there are those who set a big goal and promptly forget it.

The problem in each of these scenarios is how much power is being given to the goal itself, and not to the goal setter. When we have a weird relationship with goals, it’s because we don’t feel powerful enough to reach them. We either think setting the goal is the only thing we have control over, or that the magic is in setting the goal.

The purpose of your goal is to get you to think, feel, and act DIFFERENTLY. It brings awareness to your default thought patterns. It brings awareness to what you are not yet doing that you need to do to reach your goal.

This week I’m going to introduce you to a concept that I use to help myself and my clients. Answering this one question will help propel you to a six-figure business by allowing you to experience what it looks like and feels like to be ALL IN on belief in achieving your goal

I’ve had many clients whose partners have lost jobs while we were working together. It’s occurred in the past and of course right now during our current COVID-19 crisis. Unfortunately, it happens. People lose jobs.

My husband lost his job in October 2019, and it was a HUGE turning point for me, my business, and the way I think about myself.

On this episode, I’m sharing my story and how I used it to powerfully grow my business and change our family’s lifestyle forever, as well as interviewing my incredible client, Anne Schmidt. Anne has built a thriving online business as a web developer, and her business kept her family financially stable when her husband was laid off last year.

All of my mentors teach this one idea: have your own back. Meaning, tell yourself great stories about yourself, become your biggest fan instead of your worst critic, and commit to always building yourself up.

We’ve been taught not to be full of ourselves, to check our big egos, not to think too highly of ourselves, and that being hard on ourselves is the way to get better results from ourselves. It’s simply NOT true.

Today I’m going to be teaching you something RADICALLY different. Your brain is going to resist it. But be willing to try it on, and see what happens.

Highlights:

• We don’t rise up because of doubt
• Thinking you’re the problem
• We can choose to think whatever we want

A LOT of people are experiencing a higher level of anxiety than they are used to experiencing right now. As someone who experiences chronic anxiety, I’ve learned a lot of tips, tricks, and techniques that help me handle it, so I want to share those with you.

These tips are relevant and applicable all the time in our lives and businesses, especially these days. Most likely, the anxiety that has come up for you during THIS time is anxiety that has come up before in other situations. The work you do now to learn to manage your anxiety will help you in the future as well.

On this episode, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on managing anxiety as someone who experiences anxiety, as someone who has a master’s degree in counseling, and as a life coach who has helped many clients with their anxiety using coaching tools.

Highlights:

• Anxiety is a feeling
• BREATHE!
• NOTHING YOU’RE FEELING IS A PROBLEM

When you know exactly how you create your results, you will ALWAYS be able to create your own certainty, no matter what is happening out in the world.

Highlights:

• Create your own certainty
• Direct your thinking
• NO doubt

I’ve been reflecting a LOT on how I do consult calls with potential clients lately after my recent group program launch.

One of the things that has improved my consults so much over the past few months is that I am not at all afraid of a “No” anymore. When I was new to my business, I was incredibly afraid to hear “No,” and I hear the same from a lot of you. Many of you aren’t even making offers on your calls, let alone asking for a definite yes or no, because you’re so afraid to hear “No.”

Today, I want to show you exactly how to overcome the fear of the NO on your discovery calls so you can show up more confidently and sign more clients.

Highlights:

• Compassion for self: amp up the love + acceptance
• Failure is not unlimited
• ASK if they’re a YES or a NO

I get a lot of questions about how much free value to give – and how much is too much. I think one of the greatest secrets to consistently great content is this: STOP overthinking it.

When you are questioning every single thing you post, putting so much pressure on each piece of content to be GREAT, and expecting it to get you the results you’re looking for (aka clients), you actually prevent yourself from producing consistently.

In this week’s episode, I’m teaching you how to produce tons of amazing content AND sign clients consistently – without overthinking it.

Highlights:

• Abundance + generosity pays off
• WORK to stand out
• Results vs. actions

A lot of you tell me you struggle with consistency in your business.

There's one reason why: You are using the wrong fuel.

Taking inconsistent action in your business shows that you are fueling yourself with inspiration and motivation and excitement.

Fueling up like this is like trying to take a cross country road trip in an electric car. You've got to stop and plug yourself in A LOT. To go the distance in your business and take consistent action long enough to build momentum, you need to fuel with something longer lasting: belief and commitment.

On today’s episode, I’m sharing my FAVORITE tool to keep fueling your consistent action and belief in your business, no matter how you feel.

Highlights:

• Fueling up on inspiration
• Belief scale
• GET GOING

“How do you get those first few clients before you have testimonials and success track record?”

I get this question all the time from new entrepreneurs – and ones who are pivoting into a new business. It is normal to be hesitant to sell when you don’t have the social proof yet, but getting past it is how you create the business you want to have.

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer to this, but on today’s episode I’m giving you the road map to signing those first few clients even when you don’t have any experience or social proof yet.

Highlights:

• Answer your own questions
• Your confidence can make or break your close

Everything you ever create in your life starts as a thought. I’m often asked (usually by other coaches!) specifically which thought I used to create different results in my life and business.

Today is Part 3 of my series on traits of my most successful clients.

You may have noticed that all three of the traits I’ve shared have been things these clients learned or deepened during coaching. Mastering these three traits helped them to take what they had already done on their own to the next level. Implementing and mastering these three traits will help you take your current results to the next level, too.

I’m excited to share the final trait of my most successful clients, and that is…simplicity.

• Have a plan
• Get clear on who you help + how you help them
• Promote ONE thing

Welcome to Part Two of my series on traits of my most successful clients.

I spend a lot of time thinking about my clients – where they are getting stuck, or where they still wanting to go – and how we can get them there faster. I also spend a lot of time thinking about my “BEST clients” –not specific clients, but actually a list of traits that I look for in my potential clients that will indicate to me that they will get results while we work together… and that I’ll love working with them.

This series came as a product of both of these exercises – reflecting on the clients who are really killing it, how I can inspire the ones who are still on their way, and attracting in the clients who will start working with me in 2020.

This week, I’m sharing the second characteristic I see in my most successful clients: commitment!

Highlights:

• Commitment is STRONGER THAN FEAR
• Testing + honing your sales best practices

View Details

In case you didn’t know, my clients are amazing. I believe in them 100%. They’re transforming themselves, their lives, their businesses, and their finances through our work together. They’re growing, getting results, and hitting their goals in the process.

The mental and emotional results of hitting their goals and getting the results they desire is evident. My clients have new levels of self-confidence, they’re standing taller, trusting themselves, taking responsibility, healing relationships, finally loving themselves, and more.

The money is great, but learning to feel GOOD with yourself – no matter what the circumstances are – that is true power.

I took some time this week to reflect on the traits I see in my most successful clients – the ones that achieve the goals they’ve set for themselves.

Over the next 3 weeks, I’ll be sharing the top 3 characteristics of my most successful clients, and how to build and develop them yourself to be successful in your business.

Tune in this week as I share the first characteristic and how to cultivate it in yourself: future focus.

Highlights:

• Future focus
• Think it right now
• Journaling prompts

2019 was the year of ambitious goals for me and my business, so it’s only natural I’ve been thinking about failing a lot this year. Some of the goals I set for myself earlier this year have been epic wins, and others have been fails.

This week, I’m sharing my six rules of failing – including how I view them, why they’re necessary, and how to reframe them and what they mean.

Highlights:

• Don’t judge
• If you’re not failing, you’re not dreaming big enough
• What feels risky now, will be normal in the future

Many of the moms in the event identified with feeling like they can’t accomplish what they want because of their kids. I hear this from a lot of my clients, too – sometimes they specifically say they set their dream aside when they started a family.

It’s time for a wake-up call: Your kids don’t want to be the reason you didn’t pursue your passions and goals.

If you love your family but feel like there’s nothing left for you after all the family/home obligations, this week’s episode is for you.

• Stories to stop telling yourself
• Show it, don’t tell it
• Time with your kids is about QUALITY not quantity

One of the things that really made the difference for me reaching my recent $30K month is the idea of becoming a pro at what you do. For me, this was choosing the thought “I am a pro coach.”

I was introduced to the idea of being a pro vs. an amateur at an event with my mastermind coach. I think the mentality of being a pro is what separates those who are super successful from those who aren’t. Today, I want to encourage and inspire all of you who know you have work to do in this area to help you step into your identity as a pro.

You’re not a hobbyist. You’re not a dabbler. You’re not an amateur. You’re a pro. A professional. You take your business seriously. You treat your business like your career, your calling.

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing the ways I stepped in PRO status over the past month, and how to add your own ideas of what it would look like to be a pro.

This week’s episode is in response to a client’s request. She wanted to hear more about how I implement Brooke Castillo’s concept of “superthinking” in my business. If you’d like to hear the original version from Brooke’s podcast (highly recommended, by the way!), the link is in the show notes.

The idea behind superthinking is to spend time intentionally thinking differently, asking yourself really good questions, and coming up with ALL the answers you possibly can. Brooke describes it as the highest level of thinking to achieve anything you want in life.

I’m sharing who superthinking is for, the concept of CEO Time, and how I superthink in my own business.

Invitation: If you’re looking to build your business to $100,000 and beyond - scheduling CEO Time for superthinking is one of the things that will get you there faster. Another one? Being coached. While superthinking is how you get outside your brain from inside your brain, coaching is how you get outside your brain with the help from someone else outside your brain. Curious how this could help you and your business? The best way to find out is by scheduling a free call with me. You’ll tell me about your business, struggles, and goals - and I’ll ask questions that will get you thinking outside the box and share the details of working with me 1:1. Sound good?

I’m listening to a super mind bendy book this week. The premise: everything we think we know about time is false and all an illusion.

While time is something we made up and it’s relative to our unique position in the universe, but our lives here are finite. Who you are right now is a limited resource…one of the most limited in the world.

I truly think we all have THAT THING we know we are meant to do. And most of us are waiting to really dive in and do it as if we have unlimited time.

In the grand scheme of history and the universe, we aren’t even a blip on the radar. But in this time we do have, we can create a lasting impact.

Do you LOVE how you’re spending your one and only life?

On this episode, I am giving you the fuel and motivation you need to stop waiting and start becoming exactly who you know you’re meant to be.

Highlights:

• Time: it’s not really real
• More life isn’t promised to you!
• Now is the only time…

Today’s episode is inspired by my clients. I spent some time this week thinking about each of them, exactly where they are now, where they really want to be, and what I think they need to do to get where they want to go. At the end, I realized at least half of my current clients need to do the same thing!

I tend to attract women who aren’t afraid to work, but a trap they fall into in their business is spending way too much of their time doing the wrong kind of action.

Here’s the problem with these types of things: not only do they feel incredibly productive and like you are WORKING HARD, most of the internet tells you that you need them yesterday, and that they’re required to be successful. For me, they were a huge distraction from the things that would ultimately lead to me making money.

So in this episode, I'm sharing the simple plan you need to follow to get into the right action & get more clients THIS MONTH.

Highlights:

• MVA
• Get honest
• Talk to people

Following the crowd is slowing you down.

Imagine what it would be like to never pay attention to your competitors again. To not even think they are your competitors – to think of yourself as being in a league of your own. You offer things no one else offers. You market in a way no one else markets. People seek you out because your message and style are so unique, and the way you’ve grown your business becomes a movement.

How committed are you to achieving THAT vision? Because you can have it.. but you have to be committed – because bucking the trends and doing something different requires courage.

This week on the podcast, I’m sharing two ways to stop following the crowd and start leading NOW.

Highlights:

• No copying
• You’re a leader!
• Tap into your intuition

Your goals are the reason you aren't making more money. We’ve been told to set realistic and attainable goals, goals where we can see the clear path to HOW we will achieve them… and this – keeps us producing MORE of the same and stifles our creativity as entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurs need to be constantly thinking outside the box, and I’ve found that setting goals that seem impossible is a GREAT way to find the limits you’ve put on yourself that aren’t real -and move beyond them. Impossible goals are the complete OPPOSITE of what we’ve been told is right.

A very popular tool for goal setting is SMART – specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. My take? It’s not a way for entrepreneurs to set goals.

Today I’ll be breaking down why SMART goals aren’t a smart way for you to set your goals if you’re an entrepreneur, and giving you tips & tricks to nail the goal setting game going forward.

Highlights:

• Why you need to set goals
• Money matters!
• DRAMA

When I started building my old network marketing business, I had a friend who was doing it SO much better than I was. She had a magnetic appeal to others. They wanted to be around her all the time and do whatever she was doing.

I thought she had some kind of unique trait that I didn’t have. Was her magnetic personality because of some innate personality trait? Did that mean I couldn’t be that successful as well?

If this resonates with you, you might also be comparing yourself to someone else and attributing their success to a trait you don’t (and never will) have.

This is a lie your brain is telling you! Being magnetic to others is not an innate trait you either have or don’t. Let me tell you, I definitely did NOT have it when I started out in business.

On this episode, I’ll be sharing the three ingredients you need to create the IT factor in yourself and your business, and become magnetic to other people!

Highlights:

• Loving yourself
• No cringe-y moments
• Attention as currency
