Welcome to Strategy In Small Doses Podcast!

In order your grow your biz, you have to have discipline and commitment to yourself and your business. I’m not saying that you have to be working in and on your business all hours of the day and eventually dive head first into burnout. I’m also not saying that you can...

Consider this your warning- this episode is full of tough love. But the tough love episodes are truly designed with your best interests in mind. So, here we go...If you need more clients, THEN GO OUT THERE AND FIND THEM. I know...I know.  It’s a novel concept, but let...

Facts vs Emotions - A growth mindset requires you to separate the two. No offense to the ladies, but men typically tend to be a little bit better at this because they're just very factual and data-driven. When it comes to business, you have to look at the facts! Being...

Making quick cash equals quick action. You know how I always talk about having back pocket offers that are your quick cash injection offers?  And while I wholeheartedly believe in having these offers…it’s important for you to know that these offers are only good if...

Being in the right mindset and confident in yourself and your abilities is what is going to get you the best results. You can make all the investments you want, but they won’t grow your business unless you believe in yourself. End. Of. Story. When you do not believe...

What’s your number? Do you have a minimum investment for clients to work with you? Is it $300…$500…$1000? I ask this because I truly believe that every biz owner needs to have a minimum investment level for their offers and services. Now, before you get your panties...

Let's stop focusing on all the pain points and start focusing on the results. Speaking to pain points will only get you so far in your marketing efforts. People know they have struggles. What they really want to know is how you can take away those struggles and help...

When it comes to tracking your time, if you are only tracking the time you spend doing client work…you’re doing it wrong. Tracking your time is crucial to your ability to grow your business. We all know that. But the problem is that most people only account for the...

Have you ever heard the saying “New level, new devil”? If not, you might be wondering what that even means! Entrepreneurship stirs up a lot of these things I like to call “internal devils”. Sometimes we knew these “internal devils” were there and other times we didn't...

Part of being a biz owner is getting comfortable promoting yourself. I know that we were trained for years and years and years that talking about yourself is just not acceptable. But now, you're in the world of entrepreneurship. And I'm here to tell you that you have...

What are your customers saying? Whether you realize it or not, listening to what your clients have to say and using their words in your content is the key to attaining top-of-mind awareness. So how exactly do you utilize what they are saying? In today's episode, I'm...

If your prospect knew absolutely everything they needed to know about their business, they wouldn't be hiring you. Think about it. You are an expert for a reason…to educate those who don’t know how to do what you do. And if this is the case, why are we not educating...

If you are going to be a successful business owner, you can't just be good at the skill that you bring to the table. You can’t just have a passion. And you can’t just know your shit and be really good at what you do. These things just aren’t enough to be successful in...

Let me ask you something. Why do you actually NEED a funnel? I probably just offended some people, but think about it. I understand the point of having a funnel is to warm up your leads. The goal is to get them into your pond, warm them up, and nurture them with the...

2018…I WANT. YOU. BACK! It’s common knowledge that history often repeats itself. We see it in trends and in fashion. But…what you probably don’t realize is that we are currently seeing it in the online space. In 2018, the way we did business in the online space was...

When it comes to personal branding, it’s not actually about sharing every waking moment of your life on social media. Your personal brand is so much more than the fonts and colors you use. It’s actually what you contribute, what you show up as, and what you’re known...

Here’s an unpopular opinion for you. You don’t have to scale your business to a large coaching business or agency. It’s perfectly okay to be a party of one! Having a team or employees is not the end all be all of running a successful business. You can be just as...

Social credibility doesn’t mean shit without a backstory. Furthermore, content doesn’t mean crap if it isn’t bringing in the right leads. Leads don’t matter if you don’t have a conversion strategy. That’s right. I said it. And here’s why. I recently was working with a...

This year, working on my mindset has probably been the biggest game-changer in everything that I've been doing. And let me tell you something…mindset makes all the difference. I’m not just talking about reading personal development books and everyday self-care either....

So many of you are saying that things aren't converting for you, or you’re not seeing the growth that you’re looking for, or that you’re not getting to where you want to be…blah, blah, blah. Let me ask you something…how long are you committing to these things that you...

Do you truly understand what it means to collaborate with someone in business? Truthfully…most people don’t. Collaboration in business can come in many different forms, and it doesn’t always have to be free. Yep, you heard that right. In my opinion, both parties in...

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “Build it and they will come.”  This may be true for a baseball field, but it’s NOT true for your business.  You cannot build something and expect people to find it or you.  You CANNOT build a product and expect people to just come...

Are you leaving too much room for interpretation and assumptions in the way you are currently marketing your packages and offers? If you are currently saying something to the effect of, “If you’re struggling with your marketing, my offer is for you…”, then you...

I am always preaching quality over quantity. However, there are types of products and services where quantity really DOES matter when it comes to conversions. Those products and services are passive income and group programs. One of the things that you have to keep in...

We all know that business is built on referrals, loyalty, and people knowing, liking, and trusting us.  BUT when it comes to truly promoting others, most of us don't do it. I'm guilty of this, too. The thing is…it's not intentional. Let’s talk about a few things that...

How many courses do you need to take before you get the information that you're looking for? If you are guilty of buying course after course, I want to take a minute to challenge the way you think and operate. How many courses have you bought that you have literally...

If your ”I help” statement involves the words “six figures” in it, then I’m probably NOT going to be the only one NOT doing business with you. Stop with the “six figures” bullshit already. Unless you only work with people who can confirm that they make “six figures”...

Have you embraced the ”I don’t give a f***” attitude in your business? If you haven’t yet, you might want to consider it! The moment I adopted the IDGAF attitude within my business, everything changed. I stopped comparing myself to every other coach out there and...

When it comes to sales…STOP giving your clients an out. You have got to stop offering things that clients truly need as an OPTIONAL add-on. Here’s a fact…if you give someone a chance to opt-out, then 90% of the time they are going to. It’s just human nature. This is...
