The Business of Thinking Big

When it comes to your email list, do you have a solid strategy? Or are you throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping that something sticks? Standing out in a crowded inbox is a big challenge and the reality is that many of us simply aren’t leveraging our email lists to their fullest potential. In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, my guest is none other than the amazin

We all struggle with self doubt. It can pop up in the way we think about our relationships, our parenting, our finances, and our self image. When it pops up in our businesses, it can lead us to miss out on big opportunities or make decisions that ultimately lead to less revenue. Because when we don’t feel confident in our abilities, it can be really, REALLY hard to create the res

You have a roster of dream clients and a calendar that’s booked solid… but you’re nowhere near the revenue goal that you’ve been dreaming about. So, what now?The truth is that a 1:1 business model can only take you so far (no matter how amazing the service you provide may be). In order to take their businesses to the next level, coaches and consultants MUST learn how to sca

Your car breaks down during the morning school run. You spill a cappuccino on your favourite sweater. A desirable prospective client ghosts you. YIKES. When negative things happen to us, it can throw us into a spiral of negativity that derails our whole day. Sometimes, these events can tap into our insecurities and trigger negative thoughts about our capability… or whether we eve

The shift from working a full-time job with benefits and a stable income to launching your own consultancy can feel scary and even overwhelming — but with the right support and coaching, it can be easier than you think. In this episode of The Business of Thinking Big, I speak with Heather Hird, a brilliant business consultant with over 15 years of experience in sales, design, mar

It may sometimes feel as though your audience isn’t growing, you’re not getting the number (or quality) of leads that you desire, or you’re not hitting your revenue goals... no matter how much work you’re putting into your business. Especially as a solopreneur, you may reach a point where you feel as though your business has plateaued or stagnated.The problem? We often hesi

How will I come up with fresh podcast topics? Will I be able to release episodes consistently? And will anyone even LISTEN to my show? These are some of the biggest worries that clients share with me when we talk about their podcasting dreams. I’ll be honest: I had some of the same doubts when I first launched this podcast (289 episodes ago!). Podcasts definitely take time, effor

Did you sometimes find yourself feeling apathetic toward your business… and wondering what happened to your drive? You’re definitely not alone. Even Beyoncé has days when she just wants to ignore her inbox and binge her favourite reality show! Motivation may be cyclical or seasonal — we may find ourselves more motivated at certain times of the day, week, month, or even year

Sales is definitely an acquired skill… and an acquired taste. During the time that I’ve spent helping countless women grow and scale their businesses, I’ve met very few who genuinely love sales! The truth is that most women have negative feelings around sales and selling. Full disclosure: even though I’ve spent years honing my sales skills (and can now sell in my sleep), I

Many female entrepreneurs find themselves in constant hustle mode — doing too many things, wearing every hat, accepting work that doesn’t light us up, and serving too many people who we don't love. We left our 9-5s because we wanted more freedom and control… but we often wind up back on that same hamster wheel, feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. Our businesses shouldn�
