  • When youā€™re just starting out, none of us know what to talk about during monthly client meetings! Today, letā€™s go through the basic building blocks of what we cover in our client marketing meetings.


    The moment you start scaling an agency and adding people, you need to start building systems like this so everyone is executing tasks the same and youā€™re building brand consistency. Employees will come and go, so itā€™s important to make sure your client experience remains the same regardless of who a client is working with at any given time.


    Before we jump into the list of what to cover, letā€™s first mention the importance of making sure you capture and document historical knowledge (aka TAKE NOTES before, during, and after your meeting!). This is critical - if someone new is stepping in to manage a client a year later, they need to have that background info and know whatā€™s been done, suggested, and discussed before so they donā€™t end up talking in circles. 


    Hereā€™s what we cover in our monthly client meetings:

    Highs/lows of the previous quarter or month: make sure to acknowledge the things that arenā€™t going well in order to build trust with clients and come with a plan of how to move forward.Take a holistic look: bring up all areas of marketing, even if youā€™re not the ones performing those areas - you want everything to be aligned for your clients whether or not itā€™s you who is executing it!Our services: these are the things within our control, so we dive in deep on how things are going and how we can continuously improve.Ask, ā€œHow else can we help you?ā€ This question could potentially expand services depending on your capabilities and the clientā€™s needs, but even if they canā€™t afford more or youā€™re not the right fit, this is a chance to coach clients on how to get things done to support their business.

    Lastly, we also want to address the elephant in the room: having a fear of client meetings. Itā€™s a real thing! Hereā€™s how to get over that fear: simply focus on the client, not on yourself - think about who the client is, how they need support, and how you can help them. Putting thought behind what a client needs and having the data to support how it can serve them will most of the time also lead to more projects for you and an increase in trust from the client. Win-win! A great way to support this is by asking about the clientā€™s personal life. When you form a relational bond, you can understand the client 10x better by knowing whatā€™s happening in their life, leading to you providing them with better services and resulting in a lasting relationship.

  • Itā€™s time to get really vulnerable, yā€™all! Since the start of 2023, I had been making decisions out of ego rather than out of alignment - things felt right at the time, but if I had sat back and given myself space to think through things I might have done things differently. However, I now see that I needed to make those mistakes, learn from them, and use them as lessons to guide the brand new path Iā€™m on now. 

    When I was in the thick of my scarcity mindset, it was a domino effect of difficulty which I then had to face the consequences for in how I spent my time as well as how I felt in my work. I got in a dark spiral when we lost a good chunk of our clients and revenue, so I decided to insert myself more into the business and take on clients myself. In hindsight, that was a huge mistake! 


    I was a leader operating out of scarcity, but really what I needed to do was empower my team to run with the business, not tighten the reins I had on it. After several months of struggle, business therapy, and yes, a tarot card reading, I finally made a BIG pivot that is allowing me to find peace and alignment - I stepped out of the day-to-day of my business. 


    Rather than taking on work myself, I stepped into the CEO role of my business and started investing my time into growing a nonprofit Iā€™ve cared about for a long time and empowering my team to run the business Iā€™ve built because Iā€™ve built it to operate mostly without me! 


    In summary, let me leave you with this: do the things that feel right even if they feel scary, too. 


    Listen in to hear about my journey and tell me if youā€™ve been on a similar path!

  • We recently had Rebecca Dollard, The Motherhood Mentor, as a guest speaker at our Northern Colorado business mastermind, The Mina Collective. She blew our minds talking about all things perfectionism, boundaries, and how to make them WORK for you.


    Perfectionism is like driving a car that you can't trust the brakes or the gas. It is an INTERNALIZED shaming witness and critic. It destroys self-trust, safety, and peace when used in a harmful way


    Most of us learned to HEAVILY rely on outside leadership to tell us what to do and not do. It's not just external validation; it's external permission and shame when we didn't get it just right. A BIG part of healing the relationship with ourselves is learning to find INTERNAL permission, validation, and leadership - and know when and who has the power and influence


    When we trust our boundaries, our ā€œyesā€ comes from overflow and not resentment. Our perfectionism can be gas to drive our ambition and desires and impact when we trust that our ā€œyesā€ is true and in integrity - we get to trust our ambition and enjoy the payout.


    When we live in self-leadership, self-authority, and sovereignty, we trust our lives and ourselves to navigate what life throws at us. We stay grounded and unshakable when ā€œbalanceā€ is laughable. We donā€™t need the road or conditions to be perfect to stay in our values and direction.

    What would it look like to heal the relationship to you? 


    When it comes to perfectionism, donā€™t let the glimmers become the guilt. Let your guilt become glimmers of the direction of your desires and values. This is part of you so that it can create goodness for you and others. You can learn to trust this part of you. Create boundaries so that your ambition and desire to heal and improve can be a gift and not a punishment you carry. 


    Listen in for tips and words of inspiration to overcome the burden of perfectionism and set boundaries that help you fully live!

  • AIā€¦the two letters youā€™ve probably heard way too many times recently! We know itā€™s all the rage right now, but listen closely; itā€™s for good reason! As a marketing agency, we have been diving head-first into the world of AI and how we can use it to help not only ourselves but our clients as well. Today, letā€™s chat about some of the basics:

    -Identifying & shifting your mindset around AI

    -Basic marketing copy & how AI can help

    -How you can use AI for admin & business support


    Mindset:

    When you hear the term ā€œAI,ā€ do you want to just plug your ears and pretend it doesnā€™t exist? We get it! AI can feel inaccessible for a lot of industries, but weā€™re here to tell you itā€™s not. We often hear peoplesā€™ hesitations around things like plagiarism, inaccessibility, or feeling overwhelmed by it all, which are all valid concerns that can be squashed once you fully understand how these technologies work. 

    Our top tip to get started: identify what feels hard in your business & what you hate to do and find an AI platform to help you with those things! Look for platforms that are specific for your niche or the tasks youā€™re hoping to accomplish, there are AI platforms designed specifically for almost every industry and need so youā€™ll surely find something to take advantage of. 

    We also recommend using multiple platforms; different platforms have different abilities and benefits, so itā€™s useful to play around and see how you can mix and match the content youā€™re creating.


    Marketing:

    So, how can you use AI to help with your marketing? The sky is the limit! 

    One great place to free up time is by using AI for landing pages or website updates - whenever your business shifts (which it does constantly, right?), AI can be a tool to make those updates so much simpler and more efficient for you. 

    Launches are another incredibly time-consuming task that can be sped up significantly by using AI. When you launch a new product, service, or program, there is a LOT of copy that needs to be created (think: email marketing, social media captions, ad copy, website updates), and AI can easily pull all the pieces together.

    If youā€™re an agency owner who is fearful of what AI may mean for your business, donā€™t be afraid; we as marketers can do things faster and increase our productivity by harnessing the power of AI, so no, itā€™s not putting marketers out of work! Plus, itā€™s saving our clients time and money as well. Win-win!


    Business:

    Now, letā€™s take a look at how AI can help you on the business front! AI can do a lot of tasks that you might typically hire a VA for, saving you major time and payroll costs. Here are a few examples of what weā€™ve used it for: job descriptions & titles, outlines, refining drafts, email responses, task management, business forecasting, and so much more!


    Tips:

    Weā€™ll be honest with you, getting the most out of AI takes some practice! You have to teach the software how to serve you best and iterate; it likely wonā€™t be perfect on the first try, so keep adding nuances and specifications to get what youā€™re wanting out of it. (Hot tip: once youā€™ve gotten the software to create what you were looking for, ask it ā€œHow should I prompt you in the future to write XYZ like this?ā€ so you can save yourself even more time next time!)

    One last note before we leave you: you canā€™t just set it and forget it - AI still takes some oversight, editing, and finessing in order for it to turn out right, so make sure youā€™re still putting in the work on your end, too!


    Platforms we recommend:

    ChatGPT

    Perplexity 

    Grammarly

  • Time freedom is not found, itā€™s gained! That means yes, you have to put in WORK to acquire it - and thatā€™s what weā€™re talking about today. 


    The very first step towards time freedom is fully understanding your finances - you need to be clear on how much your business is making and how much your expenses are, otherwise you canā€™t make a plan for all the mini milestones that allow you to build your business. Understanding when you can afford to hire a contractor & how much margin you need to make that happen helps you to plan for your growth and map out your trajectory to get there. 


    Your first hire should be someone who has complementary skills to yours, meaning they can pick up the slack where you might tend to struggle! Come up with a list of things youā€™re not good at or donā€™t enjoy doing (pro tip: luteal phase is a great time to do this!!), list out how much time those things typically take you, and do a financial forecast to come up with how much extra revenue you need to hire that extra person. 


    Once you have that first person, your next hire should be a mini you - thatā€™s what allows you to step back even further and take time off when you need or want to. Train them behind the scenes to do things similar to how you would do them so you can seamlessly hand off tasks and itā€™ll feel like you didnā€™t skip a beat. 


    You have to forecast and plan for your dreams - otherwise, theyā€™ll live and die on a Pinterest board. Tune into the full episode for details on how to plan and execute the life youā€™ve been desiring as a business owner so you can stop trading so much of your time for money!

  • Mom, wife, friend, boss, business ownerā€¦all the titles and roles can make your head spin! Our family just had 2 months of back-to-back kid sicknesses (yes, 2 whole months!!) that forced me into taking a step back in my businessā€¦but the only way I was able to do that is by following a few exercises to simplify my business that I lean into when it gets overwhelming.


    First things first, focus on the people in your life that need you - those sick babies need your love and attention and you deserve a little TLC yourself! Step into that role and outsource anything else you can in your business that itā€™s not critical YOU do yourself (side note: this is why SOPs are so important!). 


    If youā€™re a solopreneur or donā€™t have the ability to outsource, simplification looks like only focusing on the tasks that directly bring you money. Itā€™s OK to hit pause on the things that donā€™t currently bring you a ton of revenue - you can always push play once life slows down a bit. But for the time being, you need to keep making money while opening up some space in your life, so focusing on your money-makers is where itā€™s at. 


    This is why itā€™s so important to make it a priority to start building up a support team so you have the flexibility to step back when you need to - if itā€™s just you, it can be a lot trickier to take a step back!


    The main takeaway that I want you to leave with is that times of necessary ā€œmom dutyā€ require you to streamline, focus on the revenue, and put your attention on you and your babies.


    If you want to build a team that supports this kind of lifestyle, reach out! I offer a few different coaching opportunities to help you build your team and business processes so you can have a business that doesnā€™t require YOU to be in it day in and day out.

  • From the very beginning, all Iā€™ve wanted to do is serve business owners - I hear from a lot of female entrepreneurs and business owners when we release these podcast episodes, and we came up with this new service offering from the feedback Iā€™ve been receiving from YOU. 


    Weā€™ve noticed over the last several months that many of the businesses we serve are getting hit pretty hard by the wavering state of the economy. Weā€™ve seen consumers start holding a little tighter to their wallets and itā€™s been impacting some of our clients in ways that make them need to reevaluate how theyā€™re spending their own marketing dollars. And guess what? We encourage that! (What? A marketing agency telling people itā€™s OK to trim back on marketing?!) The one thing we want to make sure of is that youā€™re doing this smartly and strategically, that youā€™re not cutting off your sources of clients (because thatā€™s what will pull you OUT of the financial struggle!). 


    We want to come alongside you and help you figure out what you should do based on your budget, team, & resources so youā€™re not stuck paying a marketing agency to do every little thing. Enter: our new monthly CMO service, "Grounded."


    We can create a strategic plan of how to get things done given the resources you have and help hold your feet to the fire to make sure itā€™s *actually* getting done. Our monthly CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) service helps answer questions like:

    -Can you show me examples of how this should look?

    -How do I do XYZ?

    -Will you take a look at what weā€™ve put together and provide feedback/suggestions?

    -Who on my team should I delegate this task to? 

    -What is the wisest way to spend my marketing budget this month? 


    Weā€™ll meet with business owners (and their teams!) 2 times per month to help answer questions, make plans, and pull all the pieces together so you can execute your own marketing. Itā€™s truly like hiring an expert-level CMO without having to put another person on payroll!


    Let us help you tap into the resources you have & utilize them most effectively. Learn more on our website or message us on social media to hear the deets!

  • FINALLY all this juicy goodness thatā€™s been living in my brain is out in the world!! This course has existed in my head for over a year now because I KNOW itā€™s something the world of female business ownership needs, and I finally found the time to put it all together into a self-paced super-course for YOU.


    I learned about cyclical alignment from a past coach several years ago and Iā€™ve always worked with business coaches, but those worlds always seemed to live very separately - until I had an ā€œahaā€ moment when I realized how truly intertwined those two worlds are! 


    Understanding how you deal with work and life situations based on what your hormones are doing is CRITICAL to building the life, business, and relationships you want; theyā€™re all intertwined whether we like it or not!


    I believe that as a business owner, you have a responsibility to show up as your best self and you canā€™t do that if youā€™re not honoring your energy. Thatā€™s why I created this course, to allow you to step into your best self both in business and in life. 


    This incredible, self-paced course covers:

    -Cycle alignment basics

    -Exercises to dream BIG

    -Planning & applying dreams to your business

    -How your financials & promotions support your dreams

    -Creating a task/to-do list based on your cycle phases

    -25+ page interactive workbook to piece your own plan together

    -BONUS: my monthly checklist & CEO day plan


    Tune in to learn more & hear how I apply these concepts to my own everyday life - I promise, itā€™s a game-changer!

  • Being on the other side of your evolution is awesome, but getting there is extremely anxiety-provoking! 


    I often go into an anxiety spiral when Iā€™m staring down a scary scenario in my business - it feels like itā€™s going to be the end of me, but it never is. Weā€™re often told to go for our big dreams and get uncomfortable, but do we talk about how to support ourselves and one another in that discomfort? Additionally, are we talking about what happens when taking those risks doesnā€™t turn out how we planned?


    Iā€™ve experienced that discomfort and anxiety a lot over the last few months, and Iā€™ve developed a toolbelt that helps get me through & regulate my system. Hereā€™s what has helped me in this quest to go big while battling the anxiety that arises:

    -Getting alone time

    -Soaking in a tub or float tank

    -Movement (I highly recommend buti yoga!)

    -Meditation

    -Reduce your cell phone usage

    -Hemp seed oil & magnesium 

    -List making (do, dump, delegate)

    -Looking to future excitements


    This isnā€™t an exhaustive list by any means, but these are the things that really helped regulate me and get me through these last few months. Save this in your back pocket to bust out when you feel your body reacting to stressful situations.

  • Today weā€™re joined by Mimi, our social media lead at The Mina Company, who is sharing her latest tips and updating us on the recent changes to the landscape of social media.


    In the last several months there have been some BIG changes in social media, especially the Instagram algorithm update in September that impacted views & engagement for creators and businesses across the board. To help combat the negative implications that these changes could have, Mimi shared a few ideas to boost engagement: 

    Prioritize original audio & content over jumping on a trend (Tip: keep original audio less than 30 seconds!)Engagement is key; use CTAs and incentivise people to interact with your account The big numbers donā€™t matter as much as you think they do; going viral is overrated compared to gaining a slow, steady, loyal following

    Weā€™re also learning the importance of growing in your individual niche rather than accumulating a mass following, as this leads to more actual growth in your business at the end of the day! In this episode, Mimi shared 3 tips to get started on social media if youā€™re a business just starting out or just starting to take the world of social media marketing seriously. 


    At the end of the day, we want to help you optimize how you use social media (and the time you spend creating content!) by focusing on what works, who you are, and what YOU like to do (because yes, that matters!).

  • Have you ever sat down to plan out your sales, promotions, or events and ended up just staring at a blank screen for hours? Or, better yet, have you never even tried to plan ahead and have just been winging it every time? 


    Friend, this is your chance to reduce that anxiety and set yourself up for success by planning promotions for the next quarter or year ahead of time! Promotions go hand-in-hand to support your financials, a.k.a. how your business continues to live, so theyā€™re an essential part of any successful business. 


    We encourage people to plan their promotions a little differently than you might think; rather than basing it solely on financial goals, we recommend planning the specific dates of your promotions around your personal life - if your calendar is packed, you wonā€™t have time to dedicate to that promotion to make it run smoothly. Plan financials first so you have a roadmap of how you can support those goals, but use your personal life and cyclical map to guide the specifics - youā€™ll be amazed at how smoothly it can come together!


    Tune in to learn how to identify your marketing platforms, set deadlines, plan it out week by week, and put it in your calendar to set yourself up for your best year yet.

  • We all make mistakes, and talking about them (which is rare in our society) makes them take less hold over our lives. In order to grow, you have to fail and make mistakes and thereā€™s no reason we should hide those things! 


    I believe in failing hard and failing fast - when I fail, I want to fail while striving for something big and awesome. My business and I have had a lot of failures recently and itā€™s because weā€™re stretching and striving for growth and, as much as the failures suck, weā€™re able to pick ourselves back up and keep going. No, Iā€™m not superwoman - I just decided Iā€™m not going to be so hard on myself and instead Iā€™m going just pivot and move forward. The decision to pivot doesnā€™t happen overnight, you need to process the hurt for a minute and decide how to move forward. Here are the steps I follow to help me find how and where to pivot after a failure:


    -Take care of your body

    -Movement

    -Have people around you who you trust

    -Realize we all have to fail

    -Know & analyze your finances 

    -Itā€™s OK to just take the day


    Listen in, give yourself some grace, and try these tips out to overcome your next failure because guess what? Itā€™ll come whether you like it or not!

  • Todayā€™s episode is about something Iā€™ve never really wanted to share aboutā€¦learning hard lessons. 

    Learning lessons is great once youā€™re past them, but they still hurt in the moment (a lot!). Itā€™s so tough to feel caught in that ā€œugh, if only I had knownā€ feeling. 


    Iā€™ve run into some circumstances recently that have made me realize that I could have done things better, reaffirming the fact that I am still a work in progress; I donā€™t know all the answers, and these are the humbling experiences that prove that to be true. 


    All this yuck and heaviness led me to thinkā€¦what if we thanked the failure? 

    We tend to move pretty quickly to forgiveness, but getting all the way to thankfulness is a whole other ballgame. Maybe instead of trying to resist the thing that knocks us down and move on from it immediately we instead put it directly in front of us and really observed it and took something from it. 


    This next-level version of me is going to have to learn how to respond to these types of failures at a more rapid pace; maybe this is a test from the universe saying, ā€œdo you actually want what youā€™re attracting?ā€ Focusing on gratitude during the moments that are hard calls in this growth and clarity that has felt really important to me as Iā€™ve been wrestling with this recently. 


    Tune in to ponder alongside me and ask yourself what would happen if you looked at your mistakes and failures with a sense of gratitude.

  • I plan my time out a year in advance - while that might sound crazy, trust me when I say itā€™s a complete life changer! 

    Now, I donā€™t plan out every minute (obviouslyā€¦), but I DO block off times in my calendar for specific things that I know I need to plan in advance, or else theyā€™ll never get done. 


    What are these things I plan out so far in advance, you ask? Honestly, Iā€™d encourage you to keep track of EVERYTHING in your calendar; not just your business meetings and doctor's appointments, but your mommy/daughter dates, happy hour with friends, and financial dates. 


    Itā€™s important to plan out the things that will bring me energy. That means self-care, rest, family time, you know, all the things we are tempted to skip when things get busy. But we canā€™t skip these essentials because theyā€™re what keep us from burning out! 


    This weekā€™s episode walks you through how to do an annual audit (looking back) and plan for the year ahead (looking forward). Bust out your color-coding, weā€™re getting down to business!

  • Dreaming big - we as women tend to have a hard time letting ourselves do it in the daylight. We often dream in the dark of night and keep our big dreams secret rather than putting it out into the universe. But dreams deserve that respect! 


    Iā€™m at a point where Iā€™m wondering ā€œwhatā€™s next?ā€ A lot of the things I had aspired to I have achieved (which is awesome!), but it has left me a little stuck as to what to reach for after this. I have been gathering visions of what the next level looks like, so Iā€™ve been making some serious Pinterest vision boards recently. 


    I think we need to be better at sharing our ambitions, so today Iā€™m going to share mine! 

    Iā€™ve built my marketing agency to a point where it mostly runs itself, and although there is still plenty of room for growth, it will just take time. So rather than twiddling my thumbs, Iā€™m branching out and living out the other visions that I have! 


    Weā€™re starting The Mina Collective, a female-centric co-working space in Fort Collins, Colorado. There is an incredible community of female business owners in Northern Colorado that are so connected and helpful, and Iā€™ve attended so so many networking events with these amazing women. However, networking events donā€™t allow the opportunity for deeper connection, strategy, advice, and mentorship. We needed a vessel through which we could actually support one another in tangible ways and make real differences in our businesses. 


    Itā€™s time we owned up to our dreams and helped each other to make them happen! Listen in to hear more and start speaking your dreams out into the world.

  • Iā€™m drawn to social media because it feels like it gives me inspiration to see what other people are doing. However, over the last several months Iā€™ve discovered that it might actually be doing the opposite! This is what led me to a big decision: I deleted the social media apps from my phone. 


    Now, this isnā€™t an easy decision in this day and age; I would tell myself that ā€œI need itā€ because Iā€™m a business owner and I needed to stay on top of our clients, our community, and all the things. But the thing about being a consumer of social media is that it makes us start questioning the way we do things, doubting ourselves and whether weā€™re doing ā€œenough.ā€


    I deleted social media from my phone and have been using my computer to check social media to minimize that dopamine hit and the endless scroll. Let me tell youā€¦itā€™s been liberating! 


    And listen, I understand this isnā€™t fully possible for everyone. A lot of us need to manage social media for our jobs, but we have to check in with ourselves on how much weā€™re consuming it. You have to be careful with how much creativity you let in because it prevents you from focusing on your own creativity. 


    Tips to minimize your social media consumption:

    Use an app that tracks your social media timeUse a scheduling appUse your desktop instead of your phone

    Try it out for a few weeks for yourself and see how much mental space it opens up!

  • Today Iā€™m sharing my favorite secret in business growth that I wish more people had told me about when I first got started - money mindset & manifestation! 


    And yes, Iā€™m listing them in that order for a reason; before we get to manifesting money, we have to first focus on our money mindset. 


    All of us have a mindset around money that was formed in both our childhood and adult experiences, and thatā€™s where we have to start when it comes to reshaping those beliefs. I had to write out all of my money stories (both good and bad) that have impacted my life to determine where my money mindset and the issues with it originated. This is a great exercise to try because it becomes so obvious! Of COURSE you believe these things, youā€™ve never seen another way! Look for themes and how did those translate or overcorrect in your adult life? 


    Once you have an awareness and understanding of whatā€™s going on, thatā€™s where you can move forward and THATā€™S where money manifestation comes in. 


    Any time youā€™re manifesting something, you have to think of it as a relationship; I think of money as my best friend (and yes, I realize that might sound weird at first but hear me out!). How do you treat your best friend? You spend time with them, you invest in them, you have a mutual trust that you donā€™t have to fear theyā€™ll just disappear. 

    What is your relationship with money like? Is it flourishing? Is it full of turmoil? Personally, if I donā€™t pay attention, I can treat it like a dark secret that I donā€™t want to think about or acknowledge; and thatā€™s what Iā€™m working on changing! 


    Write out what you want that relationship to look like. What words do you find yourself saying about money? 


    Where you are focusing your time, attention, and thoughts, thatā€™s where your energy shifts. 


    When embarking on your money manifesting journey, goal setting is a must. Big, audacious goals are lovely and necessary; but also make some bite-sized goals that you can tackle along the way. Based on that goal, how are you treating your relationship with money to get there? How does that break down into small steps you take with money each week? 


    And finally, what does it look like when you DO hit those goals? What do you do? Who do you tell? Because the celebration is just as much a part of the journey! 


    Listen in for examples, details, and tips on how to start your own money mindset & manifestation journey!
