The Power of Pause & How to Leverage it to Accelerate Your Online Business
Today we are digging into what it really takes to reinvigorate yourself. When I am feeling creative resistance, I have a tendency to try and push through – creating an unnecessary environment of stress. When you really slow down, you have the opportunity to gain a new perspective. I like to teach you through my own experiences so I wanted to put myself in my client's shoes. At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, I found that my clients were really resistant to showing up online and I started questioning why. I realized that the resistance largely stemmed from the fear that my clients once understood social media and now no longer do!

How to Start a Business With ZERO Audience
In today's episode, I’m sharing what you need to know about the strategy of kickstarting your business from scratch, even if you think you have no existing audience. I’ve found that we tend to underestimate our existing network. From family and friends to colleagues and acquaintances, you likely have a web of up to 1,000 connections waiting to be tapped into.

How I got 4587 New Email Subscribers in Less than 4 Months
Today I’m sharing the strategy of how I got those people on the list, what’s working, what you should be paying attention to, and what it means for you and your business.

Email lists are a long-term strategy that adds to the stability of your business.

How I Got 364 FREE Leads From One Instagram Reel in Less Than 24 Hours
Today, I want to tell you about the process that helped me create an Instagram Reel that got me 364 free leads in under 24 hours. A Reel that has since gone on to generate more than 771 leads, and counting. es, what I did was incredibly simple and yielded exceptional results, but it wasn’t where I started and it’s not what made this work. It took several months of strategic planning, brainstorming, and taking action before things took off the way that they did. That’s why I’m using today’s episode to tell the full story of how I got here, and how you can take the next step in building your list of dream clients.
