None of us want to become zombies because of burnout. However, it’s too easy to slide into burnout as an entrepreneur, and your business relies on consistently showing up with energy and focus.
Dr. Brittany Childley is here this week to help you recognize and navigate the signs of burnout so you can get some relief before drastic consequences hit.

Are you putting off creating your course because you’re not an expert in all areas? Don’t have the time? Maybe you’re not tech-savvy or you worry about how to organize all your content so it makes sense and isn’t boring.
These were some of therapist Robyn Firtel’s concerns when she set out to create her successful online course Overcoming Love Addiction. With almost 25 years of experience, she knew her clients would heal more quickly if they received a foundational education to make the most of their time in counseling sessions with her.
That’s where I came in! Robyn trusted me to support her in areas where she was less sure.
In this episode, we’ll walk you through some of the most common hesitations to creating an online course and how to overcome them, including:
✔️ How to create a format that works with your strengths;
✔️ Where having a custom solution can sometimes make the most sense for you and your audience–no cookie-cutters here;
✔️ Ensuring your course content matches your approach and your promise and enhances your client experience; and
✔️ How the right support can help you feel confident and realize your vision in surprising ways.
Robyn has such a beautiful message. I learned skills in our collaboration that have stayed with me and changed my life too.
It’s time to get your brilliant course out to the people who need it!

Just three episodes ago we talked about re-evaluating how we’re spending our time and energy and whether it’s right for us, our business, and our audience.
2024 started with a surprise emergency eye surgery for me; the required downtime gave me plenty of time to think about what was best for my own business and me personally. As a result, I’ve decided to press pause on this podcast—for now.
I’ve loved pouring myself into each episode, inspiring you, workshopping key activities, interviewing some pretty amazing people and experts, and teaching you how to market and build the business of your dreams. I don’t want to give any of it up. So I won’t. Our community will go on a bit differently is all, and I’m still your course and marketing coach!

How Two Leadership Experts Expanded Their Consulting with a Wildly Successful Online Course
Friends, I’m always telling you your digital course can be a long-term asset for your business. One course can become a flagship, a way to reach a larger, more diversified audience, and your ticket to changing the world with your expertise and growing a long-term, profitable business.
This week, it’s my pleasure to sit down with Cathy Maday and Ivan Konermann of Wingspan Performance® as they walk through their course creation process from vision to money-making expansion asset. Their leadership clients frequently requested a digital offering, and they knew they needed to diversify their services and client base to continue to grow.
After a couple of years of trying to DIY it and feeling frustrated, they decided to go with Done for You with my team.
As Cathy points out, we don’t know what we don’t know. Join me in this episode as they show you, instead of me telling you, what’s possible and what makes it happen. You’ll hear:
✔️ When it makes business sense to do done for you versus DIY in course creation;
✔️ How the right attitude and implementation can make all the difference in course reception, brand alignment, and continued growth;
✔️ Which leadership qualities and awareness are critical as you make decisions and create course content; and
✔️ All the exciting opportunities that can appear after the launch.
I hope this episode gives you a peek into how your course vision can play out over several years when you have all the ingredients in place and prioritize your course as a key business asset.
How will you make your 2024 business dreams a reality? Here are some options. I meet you where you are!

It’s the ideal time of year to strategize for your business and all areas of your life.
After last week’s episode on 15-minute annual planning, I want to dig a bit deeper. I found myself looking at my own business more closely.

Map Out Your Next 6 Months for Your Digital Business
Seeing my son Tristan’s character in action inspires me. I learned a lot from watching him play tennis this past weekend. He was determined, kept a cool head, and persevered even under pressure.
We can do the same for our businesses as entrepreneurs, and it all starts with a plan.
With all that’s going on, I realized I’d not thought about strategy for 2024, so I sat down with my business coach. In the latest episode, I will ask you the same five questions.
Pull up a chair or make the process more fun with a business buddy and interview one another.
In this episode, you’ll get your head around the year behind you and the year ahead as well as a clearer vision of what you want the next six months to look like. You’ll understand:
✔️ Why and how you look at your wins and losses is important and informs your business growth;
✔️ The role larger milestones play in your business no matter how they go; and
✔️ Where your focus is put to best use in the coming year.
Make sure you stay on to the end to learn how to leverage this process in other areas and get to the one thing that exponentially increases your success and fulfillment.

The Piece that Makes Everything Fall Into Place
I absolutely love late fall and the cooler months here in San Diego. It means it’s time to take out the hiking gear and spend some quality time in the mountains around San Diego as a family. There’s nothing like it and I’m all in.
My love for our family treks and a client I visited with this week, inspired the latest episode.
Many of you online creators started in a specific area of expertise, where you saw a need and took the leap to become an entrepreneur. It was a big jump, but once you made it, you were able to see other trails forward (see how I brought hiking back into it?!), how to diversify, and how to serve any number of markets.
With experience and the proof that you can generate an income and build a reputation, you probably began to expand your expertise and create and leverage new offerings. Many of you are quite prolific and may have numerous offers you’re juggling on a given day, just like the client I spoke with.
Now how do you know which offer fits the bill of who you are now as a business leader and get sure it’ll take you to the next phase of growth and beyond?
Listen in as I give you the five different lenses to use to examine your offers for the best chance at exponential growth and scale.
