"Many of us tend to freak out and feel like, " Oh my gosh, okay, I don't have the same momentum or sales as I was before, you know, so I must be stuck. And that almost creates the reality that didn't exist for you." "The definition of stagnation is continuing to do the same things. And being very hesitant to change and essentially adapt as you go right." "Comparison makes you feel stuck. It doesn't mean you are stuck."

  • This is a replay of a top downloaded and raved-about favorite episode from the past few years! This episode was chosen very intentionally as an episode that I know everyone needs to hear right now whether for the first or second time, so tune in and enjoy! *Listen to the original Episode 113 - Part 2 once you finish this episode!* This episode is on what to do if you feel like your success is a fluke, and there is a lot to this conversation! Because this episode is a long one, we’ve broken it into two separate episodes to make it easier for you to take in. This is Part 1, so make sure to tune into Part 2 when you are finished listening. We are diving into the feeling that your success is a fluke - something that so many entrepreneurs feel at some point in their journey. I go deep into why this thought might be occurring for you, as well as addressing how you can start to shift away from this mentality by understanding the origins and taking action to change your mindset. I’m sharing the ways that your beliefs and perspectives, your brain, and even your business structure can play into you questioning your own success, and give you the tools you need to start believing in yourself and your business for good. In this episode, we cover… • What it means to feel like your success is a fluke • Six possible factors that contribute to this mentality (imposter syndrome, perfectionism, arguing for your limitations, safety/fear of success, low self-image, low self-worth) • How your beliefs impact how you view your successes • Shifting your perspective to focus more on where you want to go Quotes “What would have to happen for you to believe that you can keep doing your success? ‘Believe’ is the keyword there. What proof do you need? How do you need to feel? What would have to happen for you to believe that you are contributing to the success and can keep doing it?” "You cannot listen to and you cannot believe everything you think.” "Ultimately, your success was always up to you. Your results were always up to you… You are the one that showed up every f***ing day. You are the one that pushed through in those hard times. You are the one that came up with those creative ideas."

  • This is a replay of a top downloaded and raved-about favorite episode from the past few years! This episode was chosen very intentionally as an episode that I know everyone needs to hear right now whether for the first or second time, so tune in and enjoy! Successful high-ticket launches and booked-out services with waitlists are not luck or a fluke. A lot of things come into play when entrepreneurs see success in their business and sales. There are skills and strategies involved, and one of these highly effective strategies is psychology around sales and buyer types. Implementing marketing strategies that speak to all buyer types has been proven to benefit sales in your business. Today's guest Natasha Zoryk is a business mentor who has scaled her business to achieve massive growth, reaching $200k + launches (without even posting on her IG Grid). Natasha has mastered the tactics of sales psychology and buyer types. In this episode, Natasha breaks down the different buyer types and explains the psychology of selling to each type effectively. In this episode, we cover… • The four different buyer types • Where most people get stuck in the sales process • How to implement sales psychology • Creating content to target each buyer type • How to sell high-ticket without posting every day "A lot of people say, sell the way you would buy. I couldn't agree less with that. Because no, that's the issue, you sell the way you think people will buy, but you don't know them. The best thing about sales psych is its customization to the person. It's not about you; it's about them."
    "You have to be consistent in the beginning but test things out. Don't let anyone ever tell you, you have to do something and believe there is only one way. There are 1,000,001 ways to scale and be successful. I'm living proof, and you're living proof."

  • This is a replay of a top downloaded and raved-about favorite episode from the past few years! This episode was chosen very intentionally as an episode that I know everyone needs to hear right now whether for the first or second time, so tune in and enjoy! There are many go-to people in every nook and cranny of a specific type of market; there is probably at least one 'go-to' person that comes to mind in the niche or industry that is relevant to you. Today we're going to be talking about a whole different way of standing out and how to position yourself and position your business as a high-level, high-ticket, go-to brand in your industry. In this episode, I will discuss a bunch of different strategies that, when combined, will impress people at every stage and build that unwavering 'go-to person' brand reputation. In this episode, we cover… • Highlighting your authority & positioning yourself • What a stand out factor is • What makes a person a go-to person • Character traits to embody • Personal brand & likeability • Building a high-quality reputation "There are many go-to people. Not everyone is a go-to person, right? There are many go-to people in every nook and cranny of a certain type of market that you have positioned yourself into and dominated. Still, I'm never going to compare a high-level luxury vibe designer to a designer that's known for like her playful template shop. And that's the corner of the market that she dominated. They can both be the go-to, but you have to decide intentionally how you're going to position yourself within the designer market, and then go and dominate that." "No one is the go-to person that sits on the sidelines, and that sits on the bench, and that doesn't play, and that doesn't show up, right? The go-to person is visible. Everyone knows who they are. They're known for both their skill set and their execution in just this unmatched way that makes them, even when the competition knows about them.” Thanks for listening, and if you like what you’ve heard, feel free to share this episode with your friends!

  • This is a replay of a top downloaded and raved-about favorite episode from the past few years! This episode was chosen very intentionally as an episode that I know everyone needs to hear right now whether for the first or second time, so tune in and enjoy! Building a business is a lot of work, especially in the beginning 'solopreneur' stage. We often have a lot on our plate, and we tend to put consistent pressure on ourselves. Experiencing burnout, overwhelm, and chronic stress is all too familiar in the entrepreneurial space; however, understanding what you're experiencing, how it's affecting you, and your limits are crucial for preventing the physical and mental effects of long-term stress. In this episode, we are diving into all things around burnout and chronic stress as an entrepreneur with Dr. Amanda Chay. Dr. Amanda Chay is a Naturopathic Physician, store owner, and business consultant for wellness professionals. Running a busy clinic, online education platform, and brick & mortar store, she realized the most common cause of hormone imbalance and chronic disease was chronic stress. Her background as both a doctor and owner/founder of multiple corporations has made her an expert in optimizing wellness and peak performance in body, mind, and business. In this episode, we cover… Chronic stress: What it means and how to identify it Recognizing the signs of burnout The difference between chronic stress and burnout The connection between cortisol and inflammation Actionable steps for recovery from burnout Setting and defining boundaries for preventing overwhelm and stress "When you're in that chronic fight or flight mode, like you have so much on your plate, you were late for the bus, or you got in a fight with your spouse, whatever it is, all these little things, our bodies start increasing cortisol. So you're always in this kind of high cortisol state. And that's when people tend to feel more anxious and overwhelmed, tired, but wired." "burnout is so hard to define because it's not actually like a medical condition. I think of it as typically, like low crash cortisol." "I think as entrepreneurs, we're always in the thinking, growing, expanding kind of phase in our mind. It's like, oh, what's next? What other cool things could I do? It's hard, I think, for entrepreneurs to be in the moment of being like, look at what I have and what's here. I think we're always kind of chasing the next thing. And that makes it hard just to calm down and be in the moment."

This episode was chosen very intentionally as an episode that I know everyone needs to hear right now whether for the first or second time, so tune in and enjoy! Welcome to the first little reveal of my new brand. If you're listening to this episode in real-time - over the next few weeks, you'll be seeing my current company grow and expand. The motto of my new brand is 'made for more,' and my word of the year for 2022 is 'bigger.' I'm paralleling together this idea of deep knowing and craving more. I know every one of you has had a tipping point where you realized that you were 'made for more, and that is probably what led you to begin this entrepreneurial journey. In this episode, I break down my ideas and theory behind the three puzzle pieces to achieve your 'made for more' life. I dive into my journey a little bit and share how I used these concepts to achieve the life I live today. In this episode, we cover… • Made it VS Made for more • Limits - Is it possible? • Going against the societal norms • Your desires are your truths • Chasing after your calling "I know that if I were to do a raise of hands, every single one of you would be like, how the hell did I even get sucked into this weird entrepreneur, space, and world? Like, how did I get here, there was a moment in time where you realized you were made for more, and it started at all, for every single one of us" "I knew I was made for more, and I refuse to believe that what I had was it. I knew I had to jump in to see what was possible, to see what I was made of. I wanted to push the boundaries, push these edges to see what was more." “I want you to ask yourself, Where have I set limits for what's possible in my life? What do I believe? As of right now, in this moment, don't correct yourself but ask yourself, what do I believe as of right now is not possible for me?” Thanks for listening, and if you like what you’ve heard, feel free to share this episode with your friends!

  • This is a replay of a top downloaded and raved-about favorite episode from the past few years. This episode was chosen very intentionally as an episode that I know everyone needs to hear right now whether for the first or second time, so tune in and enjoy! I am the first one to admit I overcomplicate almost everything in my life down to small details surrounding my day to day. So why do we overcomplicate things and why do we try to justify those complications instead of working on our thought patterns and well-being? Well, in this episode we jump into fine print questions, solutions, and everything in between! We can give ourselves a million excuses of why we do and think the way we do, but the simplest answer is we have to STOP making excuses and start actually doing the hard tasks of working on simplifying the simple details in our life. In this episode, we cover… A few ways we overthink small things Why we believe complicated is better than simple How chaos in our childhood may impact how we overcomplicate things Why getting your thoughts down on paper can help Questions to ask yourself to make sure you aren't overcomplicating your decisions “Society has trained us to overcomplicate things by essentially working longer hours or always doing the most.” “If there is a simple solution, it may not turn out or have all the factors the exact way that we want it.” “If you grew up in a chaotic environment for many many years, there’s a chance that your nervous system may feel more comfortable in that chaotic environment.” Thanks for listening, and if you like what you've heard, feel free to share this episode with your friends!

This episode was chosen very intentionally as an episode that I know everyone needs to hear right now whether for the first or second time, so tune in and enjoy! Do you have what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur? The short answer is YES. The long answer is that you need to understand the habits and traits of success and make them part of who you are and how you operate to achieve your version of success. In this episode, I am giving you the top 11 habits and traits that every successful entrepreneur has, what makes them necessary for success, and why you are 1,000% capable of making these a part of your own journey toward success. I’m also deep-diving into how we can start looking at success as a state of being, the importance of pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone, and which habits of success make some people rise quickly and others get stuck. In this episode, we cover… • Why success is not the end goal • Finding the patterns of success versus failure in entrepreneurs • Being willing to do the things that others are not • Why the path to success is not a sexy one • What discipline, endurance, confidence, and failure have in common “What makes people successful is, in essence, pushing the boundaries of what you're capable of, what you believe, and what you're comfortable with. Embracing failure again and again and again with excitement. To just be better ... and shifting the perspective of looking at success as a milestone and instead, looking at it as a trait, a state of being that you want to embody and become.” - Amanda Kolbye Thanks for listening, and if you like what you've heard, feel free to share this episode with your friends!

Because it's not just about doing what actions are needed, we have to consider what we are currently doing in order to create a plan that will actually work. To do so, I suggest doing a "Get Your Sh*t Together" audit, which I explain in this mini moment! Our Favorite Quotes "We assume that we can simply do or add on whatever actions are needed in order to get to the goal, whatever that is. But what we don't actually consider is that you are currently in a cycle. You are currently in motion. You're not just sitting still at a blank slate starting new... That's the part we don't consider when we're planning."

  • Have you ever considered writing a book to help you stand out as an authority in your industry? You are not alone! This week, I'm joined by best selling author of the book "On Good Authority" to discuss all things writing, publishing, and authority-building. Anna is sharing the industry secrets behind publishing a book that will truly increase your credibility and help you stand out as an expert in what you do.

    Anna David is the New York Times bestselling author of eight books and the founder and CEO of Legacy Launch Pad Publishing. She’s been published in the New York Times, Time, LA Times, Vanity Fair, Playboy, Vice, Cosmo, The Huffington Post, Buzzfeed and Salon, among many others, written about in Forbes, Martha Stewart Living, Entrepreneur, Allure and Women’s Health and has appeared repeatedly on Today, The Talk, Good Morning America and numerous other programs. A featured speaker at three different TedX events and the book critic for KATU TV/Portland, Anna hosts the On Good Authority podcast, which has featured interviews with authors such as Robert Greene and Chris Voss. Her first book, Party Girl, is in development as a film tentatively scheduled to be shot in 2023. She lives in Hollywood, California with her boyfriend, filmmaker Jim Agnew, their newborn son Benjamin and their cranky-looking cat Bernie.



    In this episode, we cover…

    Why building authority with a book is a better goal than making a lot of money directly

    The importance of choosing a book topic that is right for you and your audience

    The realities of traditional publishing (and why it's not always a viable path)

    How a published book can help sell your services

    Why you should consider working with a professional writer

    Strategies to launch your book and keep it selling

    Quotes

    "I ended up realizing that though my books made me almost no money, even the one that was the New York Times bestseller, they gave me great authority."

    "Without organization, without knowledge of how it's done, people can just write themselves into a hole and they'll have a thousand pages that don't make sense or they'll have gone off in this direction or that direction. Book writing is one of these bizarre things because we've all read books and so people and everyone can talk and so they think, well, I'm a really good talker so I would be able to do this and it's just an entirely different skill"

Often times, we conflate knowledge with action, which leads to us ignoring what we already know and continuously searching for "the answer," even thought what we really need is to take action. In this mini moment I'll help you see how you might be holding yourself back by seeking knowledge instead of taking action, and how it all comes down to your decisions. Our Favorite Quotes "Too often we end up rolling our eyes at certian things simply because we know them or have heard them before, and thus we almost discredit them and keep searching for the answer elsewhere.

In this mini moment, I'm shining a light on the reality that even if it might not feel like it, you have a lot more control than you think and taking time off when needed is almost always an option. All you have to do is decide. Most of us didn't leave corporate to be stuck with the same expectations that you can't take any time off even when you genuinely need it, so give yourself the permission to take time off when you need it - and if you don't, know it is a choice!
