In business, are you playing to win or playing not to lose?
I draw inspiration from my love of tennis to reflect on how I show up in business. Often, it's easier to recognize our patterns in areas outside of work—and then apply those insights.
This conversation isn't just about "winning" but committing to what aligns with and sustains your energy. It's about focusing on what you stand to gain rather than being driven by fear.
When we play not to lose, we make decisions rooted in fear, keeping us in our comfort zones. On the other hand, playing to win requires courage—it's about stepping beyond familiar boundaries to pursue what truly matters.
You are the leader of your life and business. How you show up creates a powerful ripple effect, influencing everything else—and it all starts with you.

No More Excuses: Taking Control of Your Time

In this episode, we’re addressing the #1 excuse that keeps people from moving forward: time.
Do you often find yourself saying, “I’m too busy” or “I don’t have time to pursue my dreams”? It’s tempting to let these phrases become a shield, protecting us from the discomfort of chasing what truly matters. We often prioritize everything else over our own aspirations.
I’ve been there—juggling an overflowing calendar and wearing my busyness like a badge of honor. But instead of fulfillment, it brought stress and the realization of just how precious time truly is.
We often equate being busy with success, but in reality, it’s often our ego at play. True success comes from recognizing that time is our most valuable asset.

Tuesday Nov 12, 2024
Learn How to Remove the 7 Money Blind Spots So That You Can Finally Scale and Build Your Business to 7-Figures and Beyond!
Hey, superstars! Today, let's get honest:
Are you coachable?
In this episode, we answer a listener's question: "How do you know when you're ready for a coach, and what do we look for in coaching clients?"
If you're committed to growth and self-improvement, then you're already on the path to being ready for coaching.
Change can be intimidating for some—and working with a coach is all about change. It requires openness, honesty, and a willingness to examine what's working (and what isn't).
I'm passionate about coaching because everyone can benefit from it.
So I invite you to stay open to new possibilities, embrace a growth mindset, and take your business to the next level.

Hey, superstars!
In this episode, we're diving into how financial success can shift power dynamics and relationships with our partners, especially as we begin to earn more.
Money can be a sensitive topic, often bringing strain to relationships. Traditionally, society has viewed men as primary earners and women as contributors to supplementary income.
As women entrepreneurs, how can we shift our mindsets, address our triggers, and overcome fears of disempowering our partners?
Personally, being supportive and aligning our vision of what we want as a couple are key.
Remember, you're a team, and together, you can navigate and thrive through these changes.

Learn How to Remove the 7 Money Blind Spots So That You Can Finally Scale and Build Your Business to 7-Figures and Beyond!
Hey, superstars!
In this episode, we’ll explore a common topic in our community: CEO Time.
Many of us get so caught up in day-to-day operations that we neglect this crucial period. In fact, you can often tell what people truly value just by looking at their calendars.
As an entrepreneur, your focus should be on two main objectives: generating revenue and building effective, efficient systems within your business.
Prioritize your CEO time today by dedicating 90 minutes (ideally when your energy is highest, such as on a Monday) to strategically advance your business.

Get The Support You Need To Get Ahead

Learn How to Remove the 7 Money Blind Spots So That You Can Finally Scale and Build Your Business to 7-Figures and Beyond!
Hey, superstars!
In this episode, let’s unpack a topic that I see women hold themselves back from doing, which is getting the support they need.
Early on in my business, I realized that I don’t have enough hours to get everything done if I don’t get any help.
And I hear women often say that it’s easier for us to do things by ourselves.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s so important for us to break this resistance because we want the value of our time to increase while working fewer hours.
It might be quicker to do it yourself right now, but that also means signing up to do it forever. Train people to your standard, instead.
