How can you define tangible benefits for your potential clients as a person who does not sell tangible results?  So often, success is measured by client results. This becomes a challenge for those of us who may not provide tangible results to clients, such as coaches. I had the fantastic opportunity to talk about this very problem with an amazing mindset coach and Yay for 100K member, Kayla.  We dive deep into her goals for her clients in order to get clear on her tangible benefits.

In today's episode, we are going to be talking about ADHD and pregnancy. I wanted to put these two topics together because there are very few resources out there when you search pregnancy and ADHD. So today, I will share what I'm going through as a business owner and as a pregnant woman with ADHD, and the challenges I'm facing.

One of the most significant realizations that I have made is when we get stressed or feel under pressure, we tend to go into very black and white thinking. Our brains love a binary system. But without nuanced thinking, we start to narrow down our worldview and make extreme decisions. An example of this binary, black and white thinking comes up a lot with dieting. You think that you're either 100% committed to this diet or you're stuffing your face with whatever you want. Or if you mess up...

In today's episode, I'm talking with Denise Duffield Thomas, a successful entrepreneur and the creator of Money Bootcamp, about her journey with ADHD.

Since Denise has been diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, she has developed practices that help her stay organized, focus on her strengths, and not get bored....

Episode 35 is a quick one! In this episode, we're diving into the big debate: Services vs. courses. I don't see anyone in the online business world talking about this in the way that I do.

We see this happen a lot with our Yay for 100K  clients, and our job as coaches is to help them figure out how to prioritize client work while still dedicating time to their business.

Today's episode is all about defining your ideal lifestyle. Now I know this may seem a little off-topic for a business podcast, but I promise, it's not. We are going to dive deep into your core motivators and how they play an essential role in the entrepreneur lifestyle you want to live. What motivates people to do what they do? So many people can't answer that question. Or they allow other people in their lives or social media influencers to determine their motivation. That's why today,...
