• 2025 Business Planning and Goal Setting: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at My Process | 50
    Dec 15 2024

    Today we’re digging into one of my favorite topics: business planning and goal setting for the new year. I so love this time of year!

    Now, I know this topic can feel a little overwhelming. Maybe you’re staring at a long list of goals. You’re not sure where to start with planning. Or maybe you’re not even sure what goals to set. I get it.

    In this episode, we’ll go behind the scenes of my 2025 planning process. I’ll share what I’ve learned over the years, what I’m doing differently this year, and how you can apply these strategies to your own business.

    Just as a little sneak peek. . .I’ve shifted my approach over the years. Instead of focusing only on lofty goals, I’ve developed a system that’s more actionable, strategic, and—let’s be honest—less stressful.

    So grab your coffee, notebook, or just your earbuds, and let’s get to it!

  • Your Roadmap to Small Business Financial Clarity | 49
    Dec 1 2024

    So, someone asked me recently, “How do you make sense of all the financial stuff when you’re running a business on your own?” And honestly, that’s such a great question because, let’s face it, small business finances can feel overwhelming. And not everyone has a background in finance.

    Let me tell you a quick story. Back when I was a banker, I saw businesses of all sizes—startups, small shops, established small businesses. And it was fascinating to see how financial literacy (or the lack of it) could make or break a business.

    But here’s the thing: even when I launched my own business, I quickly realized that personal knowledge doesn’t automatically translate into systems. It was one thing to understand financial principles and another to set up processes that worked for my unique business.

    So today, we’re going to break it all down—financial statements, budgeting, and using your numbers to grow your business. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a roadmap to help you gain clarity and confidence with your finances, and you’ll be ready to make decisions that actually support your goals.

    So Let’s jump in!

  • Financial Confidence: Overcoming Money Mindset Blocks | 44
    Nov 25 2024

    Today I’m chatting about something that hits close to home for many of us – money mindset blocks.

    You know what's wild? Recent studies show that women-owned businesses generate 44% less revenue than male-owned businesses. But here's the thing – this gap isn't necessarily about capability. It's often about our relationship with money and how we value ourselves.

    I'm going to share some real talk about this because, honestly, I've been there.

    Back when I first started my online business, I was seriously undercharging for my digital products. I'd spend weeks, sometimes months, creating a course, pack it with value, and then price it way below market rate because that little voice in my head kept saying, "Who am I to charge premium prices?"

    Today, we're going to break down those money mindset blocks, and I'll give you practical steps to build genuine financial confidence.

    Whether you're a service provider working from your home office or a digital product creator like me, you're going to walk away with real, actionable strategies to improve your relationship with money.
