170. My Business Evolution Update: 60 Days In

My life today looks nothing like it did six months ago, and definitely nothing like it did a year ago. In this episode, Olivia breaks down the exact visualization practice that got her here, and why it only works when you pair it with real, aligned action.Your brain runs the mental rehearsal on the same hardware it uses for the real thing. That's why visualization works, and also why it can trick you into feeling done before you've actually done anything. Olivia walks through her full daily practice: Pinterest boards, a printed vision board, even her phone home screen, all pointing back to one vision. Visualization journaling (writing as if it's already happened). Meditation and affirmations to get into flow state and high vibration. Daily gratitude, grounding mantras like "clients love paying me in full," and catching yourself the moment you slip into lack.You'll learn why goals are a place to come from, not a place to get to, and how to make decisions daily as your future self instead of waiting to arrive. Plus the books shaping her mindset right now (The Power of One More, Level Up) and the app she uses to stay consistent.If you're an ambitious mom building a business and ready to stop just hoping things work out and start visualizing on purpose, this episode gives you the actual practice, not just the vibes.

Pivoting your business when nothing is technically broken is one of the hardest, most confusing decisions to make as an entrepreneur. Sixty days ago I walked away from a business that was working, a steady structure, and an identity I'd spent nine years building, to follow the thing I actually wanted to do. In this episode I'm getting fully transparent about what a business pivot really looks like: the identity grief nobody talks about, what my actual day-to-day schedule looks like now, the numbers behind the decision, and why readiness is not a feeling you wait for, it's an action you take. If you're an ambitious mom sitting on the edge of a change you know you need to make but you're scared because things still "work," this episode is for you. Consider this episode one: I'll be documenting this pivot as it unfolds.Work with me: https://byoliviaaustin.com/momentum-mastery

Marketing strategies for service-based entrepreneurs who are tired of feeling like they have to post 24/7 to grow. In this episode, I'm breaking down why so many of us treat marketing like the enemy, and why that mindset is actually the thing holding your business back. We'll talk about the subconscious beliefs around visibility and being seen that keep you playing small, why marketing is the lifeblood of your business (not an optional extra), and how to pick ONE platform to focus on for the next 3-6 months instead of spreading yourself across all of them.I'm also sharing my favorite marketing strategies without Instagram, including referrals, coffee connections, guest podcasting, pitching past clients, building an offer ascension ladder, email marketing funnels, and Pinterest. If you're an ambitious mom or business owner who wants consistent clients without burning out on content creation, this episode will completely reframe how you think about marketing your business.LINKS:The Focus Filter: ⁠https://delightful-glade-81121.myflodesk.com/w9krm39mi9⁠[FREE GUIDE] The Part Time CEO: ⁠https://delightful-glade-81121.myflodesk.com/lbsf3c4fe8⁠[FREE EXPERIENCE]: The Upgraded You: ⁠https://delightful-glade-81121.myflodesk.com/ej9iv1g03p⁠1:1 Coaching: https://byoliviaaustin.com/coaching

[POPULAR EPISODE REPLAY!] Want to know what high-achieving entrepreneurs actually do differently? It's not strategy or working more hours, but their high performance mindset and the daily habits behind it. In this solo episode, I'm walking you through the belief systems, mental shifts, and mindset practices that high performers live by (myself included) to be more productive and more fulfilled without a 4am wake up.Strategy can only take you so far. The biggest changes I've seen in my life and business didn't come from another funnel or tactic they came from discipline, identity, and protecting my energy. And so much of the high-performance world out there is built by people who aren't running a business on three days a week with little kids waking them up at night. This is the real, raw, practical version of high achievement for ambitious women who want more but feel stretched thin.Inside this episode I'm breaking down 5 mindset shifts: the identity shift (becoming the person, not chasing the goal), self-leadership and radical responsibility, reframing failure and fear as feedback, choosing energy over time and prioritizing rest, and building daily mindset practices like visualization that fit your real schedule. Whether you're battling burnout, working on discipline over motivation, or rebuilding your routine around motherhood, these are the behind-the-scenes habits that change everything.

And in this episode, I'm walking you through how to fix that.This is a practical guide to time blocking, client management, automated invoicing, and protecting your mental bandwidth, the four systems that took me from having a business but no freedom, to wrapping up by 3pm and not working Fridays.

There are limiting beliefs holding you back as an ambitious mom. It doesn't matter how successful you are, how long you've been in business or how clear you are on your goals, limiting beliefs can subconsciously sabotage even your greatest accomplishments.  In this episode, we're talking all about limiting beliefs going. Where they come from, what it's been costing you in ways you might not even realize, and exactly how to start dropping it for good. If you feel discontent, overwhelmed or "behind", mastering your limiting beliefs may be the thing that gets you to the next level.

Nine years in, and I'm making the biggest change I've ever made to my business and I'm taking you behind the scenes of the thought process of making the decision and the logistics of making it all happen. In this episode, I'm getting honest about what it actually looks like to run three brands simultaneously, why having them spread out was capping my revenue and the moment I knew something had to change. This episode I walk you through the massive identity shift, ego work (and death), the fear that simplifying meant giving up, and what finally happened when I chose to follow my intuition.I'm talking about what I had to let go of, what I'm combining, what's staying, what's next and the questions I wish someone had asked me years ago that I'm now asking you.If you've ever felt like you're doing all the things and somehow still feel behind, this one's for you.LINKS:The Focus Filter: https://delightful-glade-81121.myflodesk.com/w9krm39mi9[FREE GUIDE] The Part Time CEO: https://delightful-glade-81121.myflodesk.com/lbsf3c4fe8[FREE EXPERIENCE]: The Upgraded You: https://delightful-glade-81121.myflodesk.com/ej9iv1g03p

You know that version of you — the one who's present, building something meaningful, not running on fumes, not behind, not constantly waiting for things to feel easier. She's clear. She's calm. She's fully in her life.Here's the truth: she's not working harder than you. She's not waking up earlier. She doesn't have more hours or more help. The difference between her and where you are right now isn't strategy. It's identity.In this episode, I'm getting really honest about the moment I realized I had built a life I couldn't actually live in — a thriving design studio, a team of five, multiple six figures — and none of it fit the mom and woman I was becoming. That realization changed everything. And it started not with a new plan, but with a new version of myself.If you've ever felt like the life you want is just slightly out of reach — like you're doing all the right things but something still doesn't fit — this episode is for you.The Part-Time CEO: https://delightful-glade-81121.myflodesk.com/lbsf3c4fe8The Upgraded You: https://delightful-glade-81121.myflodesk.com/ej9iv1g03p1:1 Coaching: https://currentdesignstudio.com/coaching
