  • I love the topic of this episode, all about a mindset shift that I have been using for the last few weeks and that is having a big effect on how I feel, and what I'm able to accomplish.

  • In this quick bonus episode, I dig a little deeper into the idea of building credibility by first understanding and being able to articulate what you do, and why you are great at doing it. You need to first be really clear yourself about why you are good at what you do so that you can showcase that to others through your content and promotional efforts. It's a quick listen, and I hope you enjoy it.

  • In this episode, I talked about taking time to build credibility vs. visibility, and how it's important to spend some focused time thinking about the credibility of your business.

  • In this episode, I am talking about the realities of time and all of the mundane or ordinary things that need to happen in order to get the results you want in your business, but that people often overlook. It takes time, and is important time well-spent, doing things like sending emails, having meetings, working out logistics, and none of the fun stuff or the highlight reel would be possible without those seemingly boring tasks.

    If you have ever felt like you are behind or you aren't working on the exciting things that brings you the results you want in your business. this episode is for you.

  • So many of you have probably experienced the feeling of wanting more for yourself - in your career, or in your life in general. I know I have. In this episode, I share my personal story of how I realized that I wanted more for myself and what that actually felt like.

    the first step I took toward creating more for my life what the feeling of 'wanting more' actually felt like how long it took to go from that first niggle to where I am today

    If you have felt alone or different for seeming to be unsatisfied with your status quo and you find yourself dreaming for bigger things in your life, this episode is for you. I hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

  • Episode 38: What are you waiting for?
