    264: I haven't been honest with you: A pivot like no other

    264: I haven't been honest with you: A pivot like no other

    I have always been so open about sharing how much my business has changed since having kids.
     
    But I haven’t been fully honest with you this year.
     
    And what I’ve realised over the last few weeks?
     
    If I carry on the way I am, there’s only one way it will go.
     
    So because of that, something needs to change.
     
    Not only a complete business restructure and rebrand (!) - but also in my approach thinking.
     
    The big mistake I made is this:
     
    What has been driving everything for me has been “what will bring in money and what do I think my audience wants/needs?”
     
    Vs “What do I feel so called to share? Where do my passions lie? What’s my mission and my legacy? What can I help people with and why am I the person to help them with that?”
     
    This is what my next level looks like.
     
    No more creating offers just because that’s what other coaches in the space are doing.
     
    No more talking about certain content topics because it’s what a business coach does.
     
    I am not your average business coach and I never have been.
     
    And the truth is - I have not been honouring my business in the way it deserves and that all changes now.
     
    A new era of ABOH is evolving.
     
    Do I know all the specifics yet? No, but I’ll be bringing you along for the ride.
     
    And in this episode, you’re hearing it all first.
     
    I’m sharing the specifics of how I’ve been feeling, what I’ve been craving in my business (that I haven’t shared yet), plus what I’ve done so far to navigate through this.
     
    This is your permission slip if you need one.
     
    Let me know what you think!

    What would you do with an extra 10 hours a week in your business?
     
    Boss - I’m about to make that a reality.
     
    In this episode, I’m going to share 10 ways you can actually get 10 hours back in your work week.
     
    These are things that have helped myself and my clients, and now they’ll help you to become less overwhelmed, to be more productive and to get more time back in your business, so you can spend your time how you want to be spending your time, rather than your business running your life.
     
    And full transparency - that used to be me. I used to work more than 60 hours in my business each week. I wasn’t getting done everything that I wanted to get done and I didn’t feel like I was creating momentum or achieving any of my goals because I was always putting out fires. I just felt like I was keeping my head above water with the day-to-day tasks that needed doing each week.
     
    Now, I’ve changed all of that so I’ll skip the story and get into how you can create these productivity systems for yourself.
     
    Get ready to take notes!

    Need a pep talk? I got you.
     
    A lot of us are fed up with some things that are happening in the online space at the moment and I think we need to talk about it.
     
    This pep talk is for you if you are feeling overwhelmed, disorganised, you’re trying things but nothing is working, or you think you’re not cut out for entrepreneurship.
     
    It’s going to be okay.
     
    In this pep talk, we will chat through:
     
    #: The ONE thing you need to do to go from overwhelm to empowerment
    #: What the most successful people in our industry are ACTUALLY doing every day
    #: What you need to focus on to get to where you want to be
    #: How to empower yourself to know your numbers

    Do you have a deep knowing that you’re meant for more? Maybe you know it’s time to expand your capacity or that you’re bumping into an upper limit right now.
     
    I’m going to talk to you about what all that means and use my own experience to share the 3 biggest things I shifted, so you can get some inspiration and advice for what you can do to start to expand your capacity so that you can grow, get out of that plateau and avoid burnout.
     
    We will chat through:
    What my plateau looked like when I first started my business 
    The biggest places where I see all business owners get stuck (and what to do if this happens to you)
    Why it’s so powerful to pause (and why so many of us don’t do this)
    The importance of connecting with yourself and understanding what your brain is doing
    Why you need to prioritise discomfort every single day
    How I changed my identity as a coach to help me deliver even better results for my clients
     
    I came at this episode from a different perspective than I originally anticipated so I hope this resonates with you!

Great info!

Just started listening. So I am going backwards. I’ve listened to the most recent so I am going back and listening to all the old episodes. I could listen to Holly all day! She is a great motivator!

A Bloggers Best Friend (Next to Tea and a Laptop)

Holly is such a sweet, down-to-earth, brilliant host, and her Blog It Boss It Podcast is every blogger’s dream. Not only does she take the time to walk listeners through her tips and tricks so they really understand how to apply them, but she also shares the hard truths about blogging. It’s tough. Some days are hard. Some days you want to quit. And I love that Holly GETS it. She shares her journey to success through like-minded eyes. Listening to her is like listening to a friend you admire. She holds your hand, encourages you, builds you up, and makes sure every listener feels important and needed in the blogosphere. I always walk away feeling empowered and excited for what new journeys blogging will take me on. This is such a great podcast to listen to.
