I want to talk to you about busyness in business. As entrepreneurs, we are busy bees. We are always working, always thinking about new offers or services. It’s almost like when there’s free space in our calendar, we try to fill it. And if that’s your mindset, we’re going to change it today. 

We need to stop perpetuating the myth that to be successful, you have to be busy, because it’s simply not true.

12 Jan 20238: #8 How to Overcome Imposter Syndrome as a Business Owner00:24:39
I doubt there is anyone in this world who has never faced imposter syndrome before. Every single person experiences it in some shape or form at some point in their life. Sometimes it can be mild. Other times it can be crippling. As business owners, we are more likely to deal with imposter syndrome, because, let’s be honest, when we have low moments, instead of looking for healthy ways to look after our mental health, we often turn to social media. We start mindlessly scrolling and ask ourselves questions like: “How did she do that? Why not me? What am I doing wrong?” 

If you are struggling with imposter syndrome right now I know how you feel. I have gone through some dark moments myself and I learned A LOT about myself from those times. That’s why in today’s podcast episode, I talk about imposter syndrome and what it is, where it comes from, how to fight it and I give you a few practical ways to support yourself in dealing with it. Get ready because today’s podcast episode is a juicy one!

19 Jan 20239: #9 How to Attract Clients Without Cold Pitching00:23:01
Don’t you just hate it when you receive a cold pitch? You know, that copy-and-paste email or DM, where it’s clear from the start that the person didn’t visit your profile or bother to learn anything about what you do or who your clients are. So despite all the social media gurus telling you that you must be chasing your ideal clients in their DMs, I say: “It’s time to ditch the cold pitch, bish!”

There is a better way to find clients and grow your business than annoying people with cold pitches that will just end up being deleted anyway. In today’s podcast episode I tell you more about that, so listen as I share with you why I would never recommend sending out cold pitches to my clients, what I would recommend instead, a recent experience I had with cold pitching that left a sour taste in my mouth but I learned a lot from, and much more!

People believe that confidence is something that you are either born with or you’re not, and if you’re not born with it, then it will be a weakness for the rest of your life. But that is not true. Confidence is like a skill. The more you practice it, the better you get at it. I wasn’t very confident at the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey. But now, 11 years later, after helping over 6,000 business owners grow their businesses, my confidence in myself and in my business has skyrocketed. So if you want to learn more about how you can build your confidence in business, tune in to today’s podcast episode because you are in for a treat! 

In This Episode, You'll Learn:
  • How to embody confidence: Embrace who you want to be, act the part, and make small daily choices that help build your confidence.

  • The importance of enjoying the journey: Learn to enjoy the process of business growth, celebrate your wins, and detach from the outcome.

In this episode, I take a different approach - I don’t have a title planned! Instead, I explore a pattern in my life and business that has shaped my journey in ways I hadn't fully understood until recently.

Rather than seeing frequent pivots as a weakness, I now see them as steps toward my true strengths. Over the years, I’ve evolved my business multiple times—shifting between social media training, consulting, business coaching, masterminds, memberships, and more. And yet, the core has remained the same: helping small business owners thrive.

  • Why frequent changes in jobs, homes, and business models might not be a flaw, but a feature of your creativity.

After more than a decade in business, the one lesson that stands out the most? Having a clear vision. There’s no point in pushing forward if you don’t know why it matters or what you truly want from your business and life.

It’s essential to regularly reassess your vision to ensure it aligns with your current goals and circumstances. Success isn’t just about making more money; it’s about building a life and business that truly fulfils you.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • Why having a clear vision is essential for long-term success
  • How early motivations can misguide business decisions
  • The importance of reassessing your goals as life evolves
  • The difference between material success and meaningful experiences
  • How to align your business with your personal life goals
  • The power of micro-visions and celebrating small wins
