Becoming a Business BadAss

You’ve made the plan. You want the result. So why, when it’s time to actually do the thing, does your brain suddenly have seventeen excellent reasons to leave it until tomorrow?   In ‘The Resistance is Real’, we’re talking about the daily resistance that shows up between deciding what you want and taking action towards it.   Following the recent In Demand Cash Sprint, it’s a timely conversation about what setting a goal can bring to the surface - and why those discoveries matter.   I’m sharing how to Allow the Pull, make decisions for your Future Self, and use minimum standards to build trust in yourself.   Because you don’t need to feel motivated every day to keep moving - you can feel the resistance and still make your next move!

You want more clients, more money and more freedom. But then building that business asks you to give something up, and suddenly your brain’s got a few concerns. Wasn’t this supposed to be about abundance? Where’s the bloody ease and grace? This week, I’m bringing an episode out of the archives to explore the meaning we attach to sacrifice - and how that meaning can make our decisions feel so much harder. From choosing a coaching qualification over a new car to changing plans during a busy event season, I’m sharing the choices behind building the business and life I wanted. We’re also looking at why choosing yourself sometimes means stepping away from work. If you’ve been wrestling with what success might cost you, this conversation will give you a different question to ask.

An unfinished task can become a very dramatic story about your ability to run a business, especially when you’re tired, worried and trying to manage more than usual. In part two of this series, I’m sharing six more lessons from helping care for my dad while keeping my business moving. We’re getting into recognising resistance versus a genuine need for care, trusting yourself when plans change, and questioning what actually needs your attention. I also explore making decisions someone might dislike and using what you’re learning to lead differently. If you’ve been judging yourself against what you’d normally get done, this conversation will help you look at the fuller picture. Listen to part one for the first six lessons, then join me to consider what you want to carry forward.

What happens to your business when someone you love needs you and your carefully planned calendar suddenly becomes irrelevant? Over the last few weeks, I’ve been helping care for my dad after a serious fall and major surgery. I’ve been working from his house, being a fairly shit nurse and finding ways to keep my business moving. Now he’s back in hospital, and I’m recording this while I’m still navigating it. In the first of two episodes, I’m sharing six lessons this experience has been teaching me about decisions, momentum, support, money and staying connected to the people my work helps. If you’ve been waiting for life to settle down before you can give your business attention, this conversation will give you some useful questions to work with. What’s needed now? What help could make a difference? And what’s possible with the time and energy you’ve actually got?

It’s takeover time again, People!! Rowena Wilding is back in the guest-host seat for Becoming a Business BadAss, and this time she’s coming for the reason you haven’t done what she told you to do last time!! In her last takeover, she gave you four fixes for the four most common marketing problems. You listened. You nodded along. And then you did nothing. Sound familiar? In this episode, she’s explaining why. Mindset and marketing go hand in hand, and you can’t fix one without the other. She’ll walk you through the six “Halloween costumes” fear wears when it’s pretending to be a marketing problem.  Then she flips it. If you’ve done the vision board, the affirmations and the thought downloads, and the diary is still empty, your mindset might be fine. You might just be short of evidence. As Rowena puts it, the universe does not have your booking link. AND she’s sending you away with three pieces of homework. No budget necessary. Rowena is also the first-ever partner sponsor of Business BadAss Live, and she’s sharing exactly why she's so proud to put her name on it.

You want clients who value your expertise, communicate honestly and actually use what they’ve paid for. But how do you show up when you’re the client? Fresh from a day with my BadAss Boardroom ladies, I’m sharing The Client Zero Concept and the question that turns your ideal client wishlist back towards you. We’ll explore why the clients you choose affect much more than today’s revenue, what your best client wants from the person she hires, and where you might be leaving valuable support unused. There’s a relationship analogy, a little loving challenge and three questions to help you choose your next move. If you’ve been collecting good ideas while avoiding the conversation or action you actually need, this one’s for you. Listen, pick your next move, and go do it!!!   Join Becoming a Business BadAss here - https://www.becomingabusinessbadass.co.uk/ Check out The Ultimate Mindset Hack here - Https://dawn-owen.newzenler.com/courses/thoughts Check out the BadAss Boardroom here - https://dawnowen.com/boardroom/ Check out our next Business BadAss Live! event here - https://www.businessbadasslive.co.uk/    Use code ‘PODCAST20’ for £20 off!

You’re allowed to want clients, money and a successful business. The problem begins when you make one potential client responsible for creating your confidence, hope or financial safety. In the final episode of The Connection Series, we’re exploring how to stay committed to an ambitious financial goal without chasing, forcing or getting decidedly weird when somebody takes longer than eleven minutes to reply. You’ll learn the difference between grounded action and graspy action, how to acknowledge genuine financial pressure without transferring it to a client and why commitment without attachment is not the same as pretending you don’t care. We’ll also bring together the entrepreneur who takes responsibility for creating revenue and the practitioner who remains connected to the human being in front of her. If this is your first episode in the series, go back and listen to Parts One and Two afterwards. Then answer four questions that will help you move towards the money through value, connection and your next clean action.

You’re showing up, creating content and making offers - but something still feels off. Before you try to fix everything, you need to identify where the disconnection actually is. In Part Two of The Connection Series, we’re exploring the four connections your business needs -  Your connection to your clients. Your connection to yourself. Your connection to your work. And your connection to the entrepreneur who drives revenue. You might understand your clients but no longer trust yourself to lead them. You might believe in yourself but feel disconnected from the offer you’re selling. Or you might love delivering your work while avoiding the numbers, decisions and offers required to build a profitable business. This episode will help you stop randomly rearranging the furniture in your business and recognise the connection that actually needs your attention. If you missed Part One - ‘Why More Strategy Isn’t Always the Answer’ - go back and listen. Then join me next week for ‘How to Want the Money Without Getting Graspy’.

You can have the right offer, content plan and sales process and still not create the result you want. Because strategy is not the whole story. In Part One of this three-part series, I’m sharing an idea from my latest VIP Retreat that was simply too good to keep hidden. We’re exploring the difference between taking action from genuine Service Energy and showing up thinking, ‘Please buy so I can believe my business is working.’ You’ll discover why two people can use the same strategy but create completely different experiences, how ‘get’ energy affects the way you communicate and why noticing it does not mean you should stop showing up. I’ll also give you four simple questions to help you reconnect with the person you want to serve and take your next clean action. Before you throw away another perfectly usable strategy, listen to this. The thing that needs to change might not be what you’re doing - it might be what you’re bringing to it.

Is your business actually out of balance - or are you dealing with a type of imbalance that is completely normal, necessary or even useful? In this episode, I’m breaking down the three types of imbalance I see in business - Chosen Imbalance, Un-useful Imbalance and Circumstantial Imbalance. Because they are VERY different - and treating them all like a problem you need to fix can have you putting your business down when you absolutely don’t need to. We’re talking building phases, procrastination, perfectionism, life properly lifeing and how radical honesty, radical responsibility, and CHOICE can put you back into a place of empowerment. If life and business feel a little out of whack right now, this one is for you.
