    This value-packed solo episode of The Business of Thinking Big explores the meaningful differences between being a business owner and being a thought leader — and will provide you with roadmap to become one of your niche’s guiding lights! Press play to learn about my journey to become a thought leader for mamapreneurs and women business owners, and how to recognize and build upon the impact you create so you can start setting the tone in your own space!

    In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

    · How to recognize the little nudges guiding you to make a bigger impact

    · How to start trading intellectual property, rather than selling your services

    · A simple challenge to help you get started on the road to thought leadership in an aligned and easeful way!

  • When life happens (as it always does), it’s easy to get overwhelmed. As we face health emergencies, family issues, financial hardship, or other obstacles, we can struggle to find a way forward and re-focus on the things that will help us reach our business goals.

    In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I sit down with one of my incredible A-Players, Sheila Penton. As the founder of the virtual executive assistant business Online-EA and the mindful organization community Digital Declutter, Sheila is an expert at increasing efficiency, reducing overwhelm, and getting things done — strengths that helped her to grow her business during a turbulent time in her life! Our candid conversation explores Sheila’s inspiring entrepreneurial journey, the three enormous setbacks that could have derailed her business completely (and why they didn’t!), and two things we absolutely LOVE about hosting webinars.

    In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

    · Why you shouldn’t feel bad about shifting to smaller goals (and how this can be the best thing for your business)

    · Why healthy boundaries are a must-have, where Sheila draws the line in her business, and how she manages client expectations

    · The big A-ha! realization that changed the way Sheila delegates — and how to empower your team to OWN their tasks!

    Guest bio: Sheila Penton is the owner of Online-EA, a virtual executive assistant service company.

  • “You are your brand.” Whether delivered as encouragement or warning, this expression is extremely common in the online business world for a very good reason: it’s 100% true! Your messaging, your presentation, your deliverables, and the way that you show up online directly impact how your audience feels about your brand. And when your social content or offers don’t match up with your vision for your brand, it’s a problem.

    We want our dream clients to see us as someone who truly understands them — as a thought leader and expert who will guide them to the solutions they need. Unfortunately, many of us are not fully showing up as that person… and this holds us back from building trust and connections with the people we’d most like to serve.

    In this solo episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I reveal how to craft a highly effective personal brand that embodies and supports your business goals. This is an especially valuable lesson for coaches, consultants, and educators, so don’t miss out!

    In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

    · 5 types of content where you ARE your brand and how to show up in ways that boost your sales

    · The area of your sales funnel where you need to reinforce your brand the most

    · The power of breathwork to change the state of your nervous system and regulate the processing of both food and emotions

    Guest bio: Steven Jaggers is the visionary behind SomatIQ Breathwork™, a groundbreaking modality poised to liberate individuals from the confines of their analytical minds and guide them towards a profound connection with their own bodies.

  • We all want to feel more successful in our businesses and lives. But when you aren’t clear on what “success” truly means for you (and how to recognize when you’ve achieved it), you may go about it the wrong way, engaging in actions, strategies, and behaviours that are out of alignment with the feelings you want to experience. This can leave you feeling like even less of a success and more of a failure, pulling you into a vicious negative cycle.

    In this juicy solo episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I reveal a top-secret success hack designed to help you experience more success, feel more abundant… and attract even MORE success and abundance! Listen now to learn why high-achieving women are the most likely to struggle to feel successful — and how to wake up each morning ready to appreciate your amazing achievements and progress.

    In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

    · The #1 question that I ask my coaching clients (and myself) — and what the answer can teach you

  • One of the amazing benefits of being a business owner is that YOU are in charge. But this is also one of the biggest challenges of being a business owner! As the leader in your business, you’re responsible for high-level decision-making in many different areas, including who you serve, how you deliver results — and how much you earn. Business owners can struggle with knowing how much — and how often — to pay themselves. While investing back into the business is important, paying yourself a regular salary is absolutely crucial!

    Women entrepreneurs tend to underpay and deprive themselves, and this can cause them to lose steam as they aren’t seeing enough reward for their efforts. This episode of The Business of Thinking Big takes a practical, no-nonsense approach to setting up your CEO salary. You’ll learn about the common issues that hold female entrepreneurs back when it comes to the money side of our businesses — and how to start recognizing and honouring your own value!

    In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

    · Why you should set a real salary (rather than just withdrawing from your business account as needed!)

    · How to choose a CEO salary that makes sense and doesn’t limit you for the wrong reasons

    · How to shake off the corporate mindset when it comes to understanding your worth

  • While coaching can be an incredibly fulfilling career, too many coaches struggle to make great money while working in their zone of genius and doing what they love. The problem?

Along the way, we dig into how Jessica transformed her incredible drive to heal others into a thriving coaching career, how she recognized ‘the voice’ of her calling as a clairaudient, and how she came back STRONG after stepping away from coaching!

    · How Jessica introduced game-changing structure and packaging into her offers

    · The step-by-step actions that helped Jessica surpass her 90-day goal of growing her client roster

  • Starting a business has never been for the fainthearted, but some businesses require more of an investment than others — be it time, energy, or money. Many entrepreneurs who feel driven to follow their passion as creatives, service providers, or product developers may wind up feeling overwhelmed, and working too many hours without enough money to show for it. Coaching has become extremely popular not only because of the incredible value it delivers, but because running a coaching business can give entrepreneurs more money, time, and freedom!

  • Money is a powerfully emotional topic… and for many of us, it’s strongly tied to our feelings of self worth and confidence. Women often worry that they aren’t making as much money as they want to or “should” be, and as a result they don't feel successful. When we feel unsuccessful and anxious about our revenue, our actions may be guided by fear or even desperation — and that can have a BIG impact on our business growth.

    This episode of The Business of Thinking Big dives into the concept of wealth mindset and reveals seven key things that highly successful women entrepreneurs do to increase and manage their wealth, from tapping into their “future” self to developing a more playful relationship with their money. To prepare for this conversation, I surveyed over a dozen women who know how to build wealth… and what to do with it! Listen now to learn their juiciest strategies for cultivating a healthy wealth mindset that will open the door to more abundance, impact, and success!

    In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

  • When we feel “stuck” in our businesses, we may believe that we lack motivation. More often, what we actually lack is the discipline to focus on what we must do in order to hit our goals. Motivation comes and goes — we can experience it more often during periods of expansion, while undergoing a rebrand, or even on a “Motivation Monday.” But while it may lead to bursts of inspired action and visionary work, it isn’t the fuel that powers long-term progress.

    Discipline is what helps us take the small daily actions that lead to steady, reliable growth over time. These actions don’t always need to be perfectly done, they just need to be consistent —showing up each and every day to do the work is what will help you move the needle and see lasting results! This solo episode of The Business of Thinking Big explores the differences between motivation and discipline, and the role that each concept plays in our growth.

    In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

    How and why your motivation levels may fluctuate from day to day or week to week Real-world examples of how discipline can look in practiceHow to build consistent and effective action into even the busiest schedule!
