EffortLess Podcast #8: Clarity

 
 
 

Fear is the biggest thing that holds us back in our businesses

You know the feeling… you have an idea, a thought, a goal - but when you go to act on it, you can’t. Maybe it doesn’t present as fear, but it presents as lack of motivation, or a new idea that is easier, or excuses that keep you from starting. I totally get that and have been there before numerous times too. BUT, here’s what I’ve learned: taking action DESPITE fear always leas to massive clarity. When I started this podcast I was terrified and just a few months in it’s completely reshaped and unleashed the entire vision for my business and for my life.

EffortLess Podcast #7: Boundaries

 
 
 

Sometimes your business really feels like your WHOLE LIFE

But truth be told, it’s not. It’s a part of your life and I strongly reject the idea that it is EVERYTHING. That’s too much pressure to put on one thing, right? Our business should not equal our self worth. That being said, it starts to feel like all you do/think/read/care about is your business at some point… and that’s when boundaries come into play.

As a service based business it’s so easy to fall into this trap that you have to be constantly available to clients because, well, hey, they are paying you. Boundaries are so important to maintaining a healthy distance, to giving yourself time and space outside of your business (and with your family, your friends, or even just your yoga mat), and unfortunately a few situations over the past few years had me learning that the hard way. Boundaries are a weird lesson because unfortunately you only realize you need them when you’re knee deep in the situation that you wish you had some boundaries around… take a listen and see what kind of boundaries you can create to better protect your time and energy.

EffortLess Podcast #6: Distill

 
 
 

You don’t have to do #allthethings to have a successful business…

And in fact, I think you should do way less than you currently are, probably. This episode is about distilling down in your business and only doing what is intentional. So many times we online business owners get caught up in the ‘next big thing’ or in doing what the gurus say to do, when in reality… none of that stuff matters if there’s not an intention and purpose behind it.

When I switched business models I immediately started pulling in so many clients that it was impossible to maintain doing everything ELSE in my business... writing newsletters, posting to Instagram, putting out new blog posts… all of those things suddenly seemed WAY less important. Turns out they WERE - because I had been doing them aimlessly, with no purpose, no intention, no goals. When I quit them all cold turkey - NOTHING happened in my business. I still made money. I still got clients. I was fine. That’s when I realized that those platforms, those items on my to do list, they were completely pointless to me if I didn’t have a real goal or purpose behind them, and I was just doing them because I thought I *had* to. Here’s the truth: none of that ish matters if you don’t know WHY you’re doing it…

EffortLess Podcast #5: Confidence

 
 
 

It can be totally scary to talk about what you do…

And I get that. But this episode is talking about gaining that confidence, and stepping into that mindset of being ready to stand out and attract the right clients. Instead of playing it safe, offering what everyone else is offering, and picking your prices based on the rest of the herd… be willing to be unique.

In late 2016 I switched gears majorly and started promoting services that I hadn’t seen a lot of other people doing or talking about. It was scary, but the proof is in the… booked out immediately pudding? You can create a unique, niche version of your services and this episode is all about taking the chance and doing that.
