This week, I interview Traci Everett, a coach who specifically works with business owners with ADHD. As a former teacher, Traci shares strategies that work for business owners with ADHD (and letâs be real; they work for biz owners who have not been diagnosed with ADHD as well!) Youâll love this conversation because itâs full of strategies to help overcome procrastination, reach your goals faster, and tips for time management.

In this episode, I break down exactly what needed to happen to go full time in my online coaching business. Because when you have that moment where you realize how far youâve come; and youâre like - Oh sh!t, I used to hate my job, I was miserable, and I felt like I was dying inside; and now I pinch myself because I said letâs f around and find out and see if I can get my coaching business going... Turns out, I was able to, and it happened faster than I thought. Now I get to make money helping women create their dream lives, walk my dog in the middle of the day, take my kids to school, and I actually feel energized at the end of the day (living my dream life over here now). Hereâs the nitty gritty of how I made it happen.

This week, I interview Amanda Bender, a part time teacher who took the leap and journeyed into entrepreneurship as she started her own business becoming an email marketing strategist and online membership manager. We talk all about the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship, the importance of self trust & how to build it, and the freedom that comes with being your own boss and running a business. Amanda shares her experience taking baby steps and starting small and gradually building up her client base, and shares how her taking messy actions led to new opportunities.

I get asked all the time, âSandy, how do you have so much energy? Why are you so happy?â In this episode, Iâll share with you the secret behind why I have so much energy and why Iâm so happy all the time.
QUOTABLES
âI take radical responsibility for my results. I do not blame anyone for the results I see. Because blame takes up a lot of energy and a lot of space, when that energy could in turn be used to figure out what the lesson is, and see where I can be different or do something different or take a different action or do something differently to get a different result. I really donât see a lot of value in blaming other people for my results or my circumstances or whatâs happening to me.â

Letâs chat about whatâs in the way of your audience seeing you as the authority. When you have convos (both in the DMs and IRL) and you see yourself as a beginner and refuse to see your expertise and LEAD conversations, your audience is going to see you like that, too girl. Iâll walk you through how to begin to see yourself as the authority, so your audience see you as the authority as well and is EXCITED TO WORK WITH YOU!
KEY TAKE AWAYS
Knowing what to say in DMs is SO MUCH deeper than just having a template or a plug-and-play response.
Seeing yourself as an authority and understanding the life changing transformation you walk your clients through is a non negotiable.
Small shifts in the way you enter conversations can make a HUGE difference.
Strategically asking questions to keep you out of the friend zone.

In this episode, weâre shaking things up around here and Iâm sharing a HUGE realization I had over the summer about moving from a space of inspiration & ease rather than discipline. While yes discipline is important and thereâs a place for it, there may just be another way to do business that feels better and is more fun!
⨠Moving from a space of inspiration and ease is more effective (and fun!) than relying solely on discipline in business.
⨠Prioritizing money-making activities and building relationships = greater success.
⨠Revamping marketing strategies to focus on more valuable and strategic content will get better results than forcing consistency.
QUOTABLES
âI was able to prove to myself that over the summer, everything was still running, and I made more money in my business than I ever have before. So why not? Why not start to move from this energy of ease and inspiration and doing things because I feel like doing things, not because I feel like I have to or I should or Iâve been doing it that way or thatâs what I was taught or how I thought things were supposed to be. I was mind blown by this.â

In this episode, I give a behind the scenes, tell all look into the launches of my group program, Biz Builders. Iâll give you a step by step playbook of how and why it started, how I got it up and running (without having anything built out), how it went, and how I changed things the second time I launched it. I also share about plans for the future, what Iâll do differently next time, and everything in between. This episode is all about realizing that no one has it all figured out, but thereâs no way to figure it out unless you just go for it and flop.
⨠We keep going, even when it feels like no one is going to sign up.
⨠EVERYTHING is feedback and a lesson to learn.
⨠How to keep your launch stress free and easy peasy (not overwhelming or stressful).
QUOTABLES
âA lot of times we just see success. We don't see the failures. We don't see the things that didn't work. We don't hear about when I launched something and nobody signed up and it flopped. We don't hear about those things. So I want to normalize this beginning part of launching and these beginning parts of a launch. I'm going to pull back the curtain here and give you everything that I have, everything that I did, everything that I didn't do and the mindset that I went into these launches with and my definition of success too and how that shifted.â

I encourage you to committ, listen to the episode (and relisten too, if you need to!), and do the accompanying homework below to get the most out of this episode!

Feel free to use the templates we used in the session today.
Keep it low key and low pressure! Here's a checklist for you:

This is Part 2 in a 3 part series, Get Your First (or next!) Client Masterclass.
We're going to spend three episodes learning the step by step process to get your first (or next!) client! This process has worked for me, and for dozens of my clients! I encourage you to committ, listen to the episode (and relisten too, if you need to!), and do the accompanying homework below to get the most out of this episode! Make sure to reach out and send me a DM on IG and let me know what resonates!Hereâs the homework that accompanies this episode:
1. Begin to train your brain to find evidence that you ARE the best for this.
In column 4, use the following sentence frame for each person on your list:
âI may just be exactly what _NAME_ needs [because ___.]â
You're essentially going to start training your brain to find evidence that you CAN do this; so when you talk about what you do, when you talk about your offer, you can do it with CONVICTION and CONFIDENCE.
2. Notice your thoughts - catch the crappy ones and replace.
âWho would ever pay me for this?â
People pay THOUSANDS of dollars for ONE PAPERCLIP. Surely there are people out there who are READY and HAPPY to pay me for my services!
3. Do some reflecting on âwhatâs not workingâ or âwhatâs hard.â
ie. clients arenât signing up/investing (Where are you not showing up for yourself/investing in yourself?)
No one is listening (Where are you not listening to yourself?)
I'm excited to hear what comes up for you as you work through these BIG ideas. đ¨ TIP!!!! đ¨ Give yourself some grace and space to work through these things. This is just the start of an amazing journey you're on in your business. â¤ď¸

This is Part 1 in a 3 part series, Get Your First (or next!) Client Masterclass.
We're going to spend three episodes learning the step by step process to get your first (or next!) client! This process has worked for me, and for dozens of my clients! I encourage you to committ, listen to the episode (and relisten too, if you need to!), and do the accompanying homework below to get the most out of this masterclass! Make sure to reach out and send me a DM on IG and let me know what resonates!Hereâs the homework that accompanies this episode:
PART 1:
Create three broad buckets of people who youâd like to work with. (This might be âmomsâ âcoachesâ âteachersâ ânursesâ âcollege studentsâ). Itâs okay to be broad right now so donât overthink it. Weâre not worrying about niching down today; weâre just gonna move and get this first iteration going.
For each bucket, write a short statement:
Whatâs their problem? (1 sentence!) (examples- confidence, they want a new job, they want to start a podcast but donât know how, etc.)
Whatâs keeping them up at night? (just 1-2 sentences!) (examples- I wish I had more confidence to speak up for myself. I wish I could find a new job that fulfills me. I wish I knew how to start a podcast to share my thoughts.)
PART 2:
On a piece of paper, create four columns.
In the first column, make a list of five people you know IRL that youâd like to work with. (DONâT OVERTHINK THIS and write it BEFORE you start to question anything, girl.) In the first column, also make a list of five people you âknowâ on socials that youâd like to work with. (Same; donât overthink.)
Now you should have a list of ten people. (Also, if you ALREADY have a list, ADD ten more to it today!)
Side note: If you have a course or a product, thatâs totally fine. Think of ten people who you would like to purchase from you.
In the second column, a short statement about why you want to work with them. (DONâT OVERTHINK this! It can be as simple as âI know in my gut I can help them.â or simply âI would like to go to happy hour with this person.â)
In the third column, a short statement about how you can help them (DONâT OVERTHINK THIS EITHER. Itâs okay if it doesnât align with your âniche.â) Examples: I can help her gain more confidence. I can help her begin to speak up about what she wants. I can help her find more balance and joy in her job. I can help her create more time in her day.
WARNING: You WILL feel resistance doing this homework. Itâs okay (that means itâs working!) Iâm inviting you to push through, and trust the process here. Iâm inviting you to do the work, and know you are fully loved and supported even if you donât have everything figured out yet.

âHowever weâre manifesting something to turn out, we also need to be open to the idea that it can be even better than what we were expecting! As much as weâre scared, we have that deep belief that itâs going to turn out the way itâs supposed to because we know we put in the work behind the scenes and that we are in control of how it turns out.â

âIf I want to have the life I am dreaming of, itâs up to me and I have to make the change. My mom passed away very suddenly. She was only 54. She went to sleep and didnât wake up again. That was the wake up call that life is really short. And what are we doing here? Waking up day after day feeling like life is a grind, not enjoying it, sitting there all miserable. Complaining to our girlfriends about how hard it is and not doing anything about it.. â
