Inside My First $200K Sales Month

October's here, Q4 is rolling in fast, and if you're anything like me, you might be looking back at the year thinking—'Wait, where did all that time go?'    I had a very rough start to my year with a newborn and a toddler. But I decided I wasn't going to allow myself to end the year on that note.   In today's episode I want to be really honest with you about where I've been, where I've stumbled, and how I'm getting back on track. I will be discussing: The hard truths about setting big goals…and what happens when life (and our own mindset) gets in the way.  How I went from feeling stuck and behind to finding the spark again  Why consistency is more powerful than motivation when you're chasing growth How small, intentional shifts can pull you out of burnout and into momentum A few mindset tools I'm leaning on right now to finish the year strong So if you've been feeling off course, behind, or just a little overwhelmed, tune in to hear how you can make the most out of your Q4 and redefine your year!  Feel free to message me your thoughts on Instagram or through email.  Join my Mastermind HERE for 12 months of more support from me and other entrepreneurs!

As a mother of now two kids and six months postpartum, I have definitely had to adjust the way that I approach my business. Going from one to two babies has definitely been a transition, but I had a lot more clarity in how to approach it this time around. I believe that there is no "right way" to be a mother and a business owner. We do not have to sacrifice one for the other! Sometimes we just have to adjust to the season we are in. Today I will be sharing: The highs and lows of my second pregnancy and how it compared to my first How my family was financially prepared for my maternity leave, and how I adjusted my business How I set my business up to support me and my family during a time where our income wasn't going to be as consistent If this message resonated with you, please message me on Instagram!

One of the most frustrating but empowering parts of being a business coach is seeing where entrepreneurs stop themselves. Often times, they don't even realize that they're stopping themselves. Something very logical comes in their way like personal circumstances, something related to their child, or something seemingly not working in their business. But the truth is that every entrepreneur has had their own obstalces too. The difference is how they move through and past them. Today, I talk to my own coach, Lacey Sites, about going the extra mile. Lacey Sites is the founder of A Lit Up Life, and she is an expert in coaching business owners to set up their business for sustainability. Join us as we discuss: What to do when your business seems not to be thriving how you want it to so that you don't start expending your energy in unnecessary ways Where to shift your focus to so that you can move with the momentum of your business, rather than feeling like you're falling behind How to navigate if something is worth going back to the beginning stage throughout your business when it needs adjustments Visit Lacey's website HERE!

The merging of motherhood with entrepreneurship looks different for everyone. There is not one path, and it can feel like we have to sacrifice one in order to fully show up in the other. But that is not the case. You can STILL be a hardworking, Type-A entrepreneur, AND show up for your children. In today's episode, I am joined by my friend and client, Natalie Bacon. She is an entrepreneur, and most importantly, a mom, soon to welcome her third in three years! Natalie is the founder of Mom On Purpose, where she coaches moms and entrepreneurs on how to be the mothers they want to be while balancing all life throws at you. In the episode, we get vulnerable and discuss: What we originally thought our lives and motherhood would look like, and how it changed when we became entrepreneurs How to schedule your day that allows you to still maintain your business, and still show up for your kids and family Why it's okay that some of our priorities change, but how to align motherhood with the entrepreneur we want to be Visit Natalie Bacon's website HERE.

I recently had my first $200K sales month. As a business owner, I used to see those big numbers from other entrepreneurs, and felt like I would've given anything to see things like that myself. Now, I recognize what goes into it. I'm incredibly proud and grateful for it. AND, I care more about what they symbolize for my business and family than the numbers themselves. Today, I want to share what is more important, and what we as business owners should be focusing on month to month. Tune into hear: The honest conversation of sales vs. cash in a monthly window, and how to decipher which one is more important for you to focus on depending on your season of business. A transparent look into what actually went into these sales numbers. The dramatic difference between the practices, both mindset and strategically, I used to employ in attempts to achieve large financial milestones, vs. what I do now.

As I'm nearing the final weeks of my second pregnancy, I have reflected on what being a stay-at-home-mom has done for me. While being a stay-at-home-mom is not a new, revolutionary choice people make, it still created a lot of shifts in my personal and business life. In today's episode, I will be diving into: What went into the choice of being without a nanny and how I adjusted my routine to support my son and my business Why I didn't allow the pressure's of motherhood cause my business and passions to sink, but rather they empowered me and allowed my business to thrive How I was able to scale back on certain aspects of my business, but it didn't cause my income to drop drastically The specifics of my schedule, my days, and logistics for juggling both If you want more inside business secrets, then head over to my Seven-Figure Secrets Podcast!
