166. What It Means To Scale Your Business In The Divine Feminine

A big theme we’ve been talking about in our coaching containers is about financial independence. Generating more income is step one; but true wealth is created when we take the surplus income from our businesses and leverage it to buy assets that allow our net worth to grow.We’re bringing this conversation to the podcast with this conversation with Kendra Barnes, a powerful voice in the real estate education space, unpacking how real estate can be used as a vehicle to build wealth.We talk about:What financial independence is and the different types.How to uncover what your financial independence number is and determine how much you need to invest monthly to support those goalsWhy real estate can be a powerful place to leverage your surplus profits to reach financial independenceMindset shifts required to increase your savings rate to reach financial independence fasterWhat Kendra’s real estate portfolio looked like when she was able to retire from her corporate job at 32.What house hacking is and why it’s a great place to startHow to look for real estate deals, how to create a criteria for your portfolio and choose a marketWhy debt isn’t a bad thing and how we can leverage debt to accelerate wealth buildingPaying cash versus taking on mortgages for propertiesWhether or not to use a property managerLong-term rentals versus Air BNBsEstate planning and building generational wealthConnect With Us:Join our weekly newsletterUse code TLEPODCAST (all caps) at checkout to get 10% off all a la carte programs or 10% off your first month inside The Inner Circle All Access Pass.Connect with Naomi on Instagram.DM Naomi directly on Instagram to enquire about masterminds and private mentorship.

We often hear a lot about the fact that the next version of ourselves will come at the expense of the present version but not much is actually said about what that looks like in practice and that’s what this episode with Lindsey Nadler is all about.Naomi and Lindsey talk fireside-chat style about some of the areas they’ve both been moving through in business recently and how they’re intentionally using these situations as catalysts for growth.We talk about:Creating a self concept that’s independent of how much money you’re making, how fast (or slow) your business is growing or any other factor. Who are you away from all of that? Who are you when things aren’t going your way or when life happens?What “enough” looks like and cultivating your own vision of what that isShifting out of chasing milestones simply to feel like you’ve arrived and finding a healthier driver for going for moreRefining your business model to align with the way you truly want to do things away from what’s happening in your nicheGetting clarity on what strategies and offers allow you to scale in a way that feels grounded and sustainableBuilding the internal muscles to actually hold and sustain a bigger businessNavigating magic darks, remaining open to lessons and not overidentifying with ebbsUnderstanding your energetic capacity and also what you need to regulate your nervous system and nourish yourselfMoving away from “choose me” energy and into a place of owning your expertise, standing in your power about what you have to offer and inviting people to meet you there.Connect With Us:Join our weekly newsletterUse code TLEPODCAST (all caps) at checkout to get 10% off all a la carte programs or 10% off your first month inside The Inner Circle All Access Pass.Connect with Naomi on Instagram.DM Naomi directly on Instagram to enquire about masterminds and private mentorship.

What’s often missed in the conversations about growth it’s cyclical. There are times where we’re planting seeds, working on patience as diligently tending to what we’ve planted. Other seasons are for reaping what we’ve sown. And there’s also times of rest or ebbs, all of which are natural parts of the cycle.In this episode Naomi is joined by Tonya Rapley, founder of My Fab Finance, investor, art curator and financial educator to talk about these ebbs and flows and how to lead ourselves through seasons of tradition. We talk about:Learning how to adapt and thrive in an ever changing business climateWhy rest seasons are as important as the moments where we’re leaning inNavigating holding a business while also simultaneously going through moments like divorce personally.What it means to resource yourself as you continue to hold more and how to practice asking for help and doing so early and oftenLeaning into support both at home and in businessThe biggest lessons she learned not only in business but about herself in her first seven figure yearCreating boundaries about what we share online as personal brands Connect With Us:Join our weekly newsletterUse code TLEPODCAST (all caps) at checkout to get 10% off all a la carte programs or 10% off your first month inside The Inner Circle All Access Pass.Connect with Naomi on Instagram.DM Naomi directly on Instagram to enquire about masterminds and private mentorship.

One of the biggest themes we’re committed to sharing on the show is around how we can harmonize the ways that we lead in our businesses around our natural cycles and energetic makeup. We truly believe that sustainability – and longevity – comes from intentionally designing our businesses to work with us rather than against us and that’s where cycle syncing comes in.Inspired by our founder implementing period policies for our team and utilizing cycle syncing in the way we run our business, in this episode she’s joined by specialist, Nicole Bendayan to unpack what cycle syncing is and how we can all utilize it to run our business more intuitively.We discuss:The differences between the cycle of men and women and how those differences affect the way we work.How women’s hormones work and how that mirrors the seasons in natureHow working in harmony with our natural cycles can actually make us more productivity and tap into a flow stateWhat each phase of the menstrual cycle is and what types of work are conducive for each stage.How you can organize your schedule, launches and marketing efforts to leverage your energy versus working against itShifting the narrative around productivity and how we relate to restConnect With Us:Join our weekly newsletterUse code TLEPODCAST (all caps) at checkout to get 10% off all a la carte programs or 10% off your first month inside The Inner Circle All Access Pass.Connect with Naomi on Instagram.DM Naomi directly on Instagram to enquire about masterminds and private mentorship.

So much of the rhetoric around change is through the lens of shame and falling asleep to our needs and our own internal guidance or relying on shear force and motivation.Karin Nordin takes a completely different approach. With a PHD in mindset and behavior change, she’s on a mission to bring compassion-first change psychology and data-backed science to the personal development space.In this episode, we unpack actionable ways you can move away from being at war with your goals and instead intentionally work on building the internal muscles that allow you to cooperate with your growth so you can move towards whatever you’re trying to create in your life and business this year.We discuss:A different approach to goal setting and planning and how to anticipate roadblocks so you can create a roadmap for navigating them.Mindset shifts, reframes and tools you can adopt to support you in following through on the commitments you’ve made with yourselfWhy wiping the slate clean and beginning the year anew is counterproductive for making real tractionThe missing link when it comes to sustainability with changeHow to close the gap between where you currently are and where you desire to be without elaborate or rigid routines.Why emotional intelligence and regulation is the key to unlocking growthHow she runs her business as an emotional manifestor; from the way her offers are designed to her team structureWhat she did in the growth phase of her business that allowed her to grow but that no longer serve her in the scale phaseThe things she credits for hitting $500k cash in her first year working full-time in her businessThe identity shifts that she’s working through in real time as she prepares the business for the next season of growth.Connect With Us:Join our weekly newsletterUse code TLEPODCAST (all caps) at checkout to get 10% off all a la carte programs or 10% off your first month inside The Inner Circle All Access Pass.Connect with Naomi on Instagram.DM Naomi directly on Instagram to enquire about masterminds and private mentorship.

We often unknowingly make scaling harder than it needs to be but adding unnecessary complexity. And complexity is the fastest way to drive your profits down and cap your capacity to grow.In this conversation with Kate Rosenow, she breaks down exactly what it looks like to cut the fat and scale in a way that’s highly leveraged while also delivering on exactly what she promises for her clients.Her offer suite is refined with zero filler and each service naturally builds on top of one another in a way that effortlessly drives repeat sales and removes the need to constantly go out and look for new clients.In the episode she walks through how she’s operationalized each step in her business; from the way she approaches marketing and sales, right through to client delivery and retention.Her entire business runs like clockwork in a way that allows her to remain firmly in the CEO role, focused on scaling the company by building more momentum around what’s already working.We talk about:The lessons she took away from her first business and how they’ve allowed her to grow with more ease than beforeWhy she invests in more experienced team members versus more affordable contractors who are just starting outWhy she values intentional, repeatable growth versus unsustainable quantum leapsHow she decided what the company’s priorities are and how that determines the projects the team is working onWhat to know about leading a team and what doing so requires from us as CEOsHow to determine what to let go of and what to hold on to and the difference between delegating and abdicating What’s required to get buy in from your team on the company’s vision so they’re equally investedHow motherhood shaped the way she sees business and how she dialed up her systems and operations to support her vision for motherhoodCreating boundaries with clients and cutting the excess in packages to maximize results and profitWhat the role of CEO looks like day to day.Connect With Us:Join our weekly newsletterUse code TLEPODCAST (all caps) at checkout to get 10% off all a la carte programs or 10% off your first month inside The Inner Circle All Access Pass.Connect with Naomi on Instagram.DM Naomi directly on Instagram to enquire about masterminds and private mentorship.

We often hear about the quantum leaps, the ease and the milestone months. What we don’t often hear about are the growing pains, the dips in income, the self-doubt and the questioning that often precedes them.In this episode, Naomi is joined by Virginia Deassis who candidly walks through her growing her business to $50k cash months, watching her income dip for the first half of the year, to now build it back bigger, stronger and more aligned than it was before.We talk about:Her experience in the earlier days of her business, making money but calling it in a way that was deeply rooted in old programming around hustle, pushing and forcing at any cost.She shares her experience having her first $50k cash month, making a big investment in the business, before watching her income dip below her breakeven point.What she learned having to navigate holding her business, continuing to show up while having zero childcare and how that’s informed her business model today.The comparison and self-doubt that can come up when you’re in a mastermind space and navigating challenging moments in your business while other members are experiencing massive milestones and wins.What it looks like to hold the energy and remain steadfast in doing what you know works without any certainty that things are going to work.How she’s tweaked her business model to be more supportive with her life and in preparation for a third baby.The biggest lessons she learned during her magic dark.The strategic and practical changes she made that allowed her income to quantum leap her income in the second half of the year.Connect With Us:Join our weekly newsletterUse code TLEPODCAST (all caps) at checkout to get 10% off all a la carte programs or 10% off your first month inside The Inner Circle All Access Pass.Connect with Naomi on Instagram.DM Naomi directly on Instagram to enquire about masterminds and private mentorship.
