How I Had a $42K Sales Day While Not in Launch and Rebuilding My Business With Babies
In this episode, I’m sharing the full story behind one of my biggest revenue weeks in this new season of business: $42,000 in sales, including a $20K cash day, all while working part-time hours and raising twins (and NOT in the middle of a launch). This wasn’t a one-time fluke. It’s the result of building a brand with a clear edge, focusing on what actually drives sales, and letting go of outdated strategies that no longer serve the version of me (or my business) today. Inside, I get into: How I brought in high-ticket sales without working around the clock Why reinventing my business was necessary—even after past success The shifts that helped me create results during a season of less What building a truly distinctive brand looks like in practice The behind-the-scenes of launching my new podcast, Main Character Energy If you're in a pivot, rebuilding after a break, or just tired of feeling like your business doesn’t reflect you anymore—this episode will show you what’s possible when you lead with your edge.

Motherhood & Business Part One: The Year That Shook My Identity (And How I Found My Way Back)
This year has been one of the most transformative (and challenging) of my life. After 10 years of being a business owner, my identity as “CEO” took a backseat as I stepped into motherhood—and it shook me to my core. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the real truth about what it’s been like to juggle these two worlds. From questioning if I even wanted to run a business anymore to completely overhauling my business model, this year taught me more than I ever expected about resilience, clarity, and the danger of comparison. If you’ve ever felt lost in your journey or wondered how motherhood and business can coexist without sacrificing your sanity, this one’s for you. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The identity shift of becoming a mom after a decade as a business owner—and why it took me longer than I expected to get my mojo back. The two pivotal shifts that helped me gain clarity and move forward in both life and business. Why the business model I thought I wanted pre-babies ended up being completely wrong for me. The reality of balancing ambition and family—and why comparing your journey to others is a dangerous game.

IS Your CAUTIOUS Content Strategy Secretly SABOTAGING Your Success?
In this episode, we’re diving deep into a trap many coaches fall into—playing it safe with their content. It feels like the "smart" move, right? Avoiding controversy, trying to appeal to everyone, and keeping your messaging broad to avoid ruffling any feathers. But is this cautious approach actually sabotaging your success?

She emphasizes that failure is a necessary part of the journey and that most successful people have experienced multiple failures before achieving their goals.

She also highlights the importance of learning from failures and shifting one's perspective to see them as opportunities for growth. Takeaways Failure is an essential part of the journey to success. Most successful people have experienced multiple failures before achieving their goals. It is important to learn from failures and see them as opportunities for growth and learning. When making hiring decisions, it is crucial to do due diligence and ensure that the results are there, even if the person is referred by a trusted source. Spending money on things that serve a purpose and bring value is more important than spending money on things for the sake of appearances. Hiring essential team members and avoiding unnecessary expenses can lead to a leaner and more successful business. Separation and challenges in relationships can sometimes be the key to building a stronger and more fulfilling partnership. Testing and proving a program or product organically before investing in ads can save time, money, and energy.

Why I Keep Re-Signing the Same Clients Despite Multiple Business Changes
In this episode, Meg discusses why she is able to consistently resign the same clients despite multiple business changes. She shares statistics on client retention and the benefits of selling to existing customers. Meg emphasizes the importance of extending the lifetime value of ideal clients and the advantages of working with familiar clients.

Balancing Business and Babies: Why "Doing It All" is Dangerous
This episode discusses the importance of balancing business and family life and challenges the narrative of 'doing it all'. Meg shares her personal experience of prioritizing her business over her marriage and the realization that family memories are more valuable than money or success. She emphasizes the concept of a 'life first, business second' approach, where entrepreneurs build their businesses around their life priorities.

Meg cautions against comparing oneself to the unrealistic expectations set by society and highlights the need for self-compassion. Takeaways No amount of money, recognition, or success is worth missing out on core memories with your family. Entrepreneurs who prioritize their life first and build their business around it are more likely to build long-lasting businesses and make a bigger impact. It's important to regularly reassess and align your business goals with your life priorities. Finding passion and purpose in your work is crucial for long-term fulfillment.

(STRATEGY WITH MEG) Picking The Right Social Media Platforms For Your Niche
(STRATEGY WITH MEG) Picking The Right Social Media Platforms For Your Niche A big reminder: your business is NOT one social media platform. AKA, your business is NOT Instagram. Your business is NOT TikTok. Your business is NOT LinkedIn. Those are platforms you use to MARKET your business, but that’s it. So it’s SUPER important to not only have more than one to rely on for marketing purposes (since putting all your eggs into one basket is dangerous no matter what we’re talking about), but to also reach more people. In this episode I’m helping you figure out which you should dive into FIRST to really optimize before adding on a second. The three questions I’ll dive into (before I go into specifics about each platform) are… Where do your ideal clients hang out the most? Where are your ideal clients searching for help when it comes to the topic of your offer? Where do YOU like to hang out?/Where can you produce the most consistent content?

Instead, she teaches a systemized pre-launch process to put leads through so they’re primed, pre-sold, qualified, and raring to buy your offer. And in this quick hit strategy episode she BRINGS it with such applicable strategies on how to know what kind of content to put out during your pre-launch that makes it a NO BRAINER for your audience to buy when you open up the cart. This is one for the books my friends, so be sure to get ready to take notes.

(HEART TO HEART) Dealing With Negative Comments on Social Media
Going viral, growing quickly and building your social media presence all sounds like rainbows and butterflies and what a LOT of people say they desire. But WITH that quick growth can sometimes come backlash, negativity and people straight up leaving nasty comments on your page. How you handle that criticism is a whole other ballgame and easier said than done, and in this heart to heart I share how the fast growth we’ve seen on my new brands “Meg and Mike Do Marriage” IG account has been both amazing and terrifying because of some really hateful comments we’ve gotten when sharing our truth. This is the ugly side to social media, but my hope in this episode is to show you that by sharing YOUR truth you WILL attract the people and ideal clients that are right for you AND repel the people that quite frankly…are not.

(STRATEGY WITH MEG) The Difference Between Attraction, Nurture & Sales Content
The online space can feel like the wild, wild west sometimes, especially when it comes to creating content on Instagram. You post and post and post and end up feeling like the bad act at a comedy club…with RADIO SILENCE meeting you on the other end. A BIG reason I find newer coaches & course creators experience this? They don’t understand the difference between attraction, nurture and sales content. They’re trying to skip to sales content when they don’t have any ideal client followers (because they skipped attraction content). Or they move straight from attraction to sales content, expecting their brand new followers to buy from them with zero warm up. HELLOOO that’s like asking someone to get married on the first date #nothankyou In this quit hit episode I’m teaching you the difference between attraction, nurture & sales content and how to start creating all three.

(STRATEGY WITH MEG) What really helped me 5x my income in 2 yrs
Could you have done this on your own? ↑The question my husband asked me after I had my first six figure launch (after investing in many coaching programs for 1.5 years). And the honest answer? Maybe EVENTUALLY, but on the timeline I achieved that success? No way. The thing about investing in coaching people don’t tell you in your first year of business… You need to continually invest money back into your business for it to grow to keep up that momentum. But it’s not always about investing more each time, but in the RIGHT coaches, programs, strategies, etc that you need at that point in time to reach your next level. In this episode I share my investment history and why that was the #1 catalyst to me 5x’ing my income in one year.

(SOSA CLIENT CASE STUDY) 12K TikTok followers, 5x coaching rates + more
Investing after you’ve “been burned” is no easy feat. Your trust is gone and you have your guard up. I’m no novice to disappointing investments, having made a BIG one a few years ago that set me back $18,500 (to the dollar). But I refused to let that bad investment stop me from making life changing ones; ones that have helped me have the million dollar business I have today. In today’s bonus #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur podcast episode, one of our recent SOSA graduates, Laura, shares how she was TERRIFIED to join SOSA because she had joined a business program a year earlier that did NOT deliver on what was promised. But after literally seeing results in her business from implementing my FREE content, and talking it through, she knew she needed to take a chance and not let that bad investment stop her from making a life changing one. One that led her to… 5x her coaching rates Almost completely book out her 1-1 coaching roster from her first structured launch Grow to over 12K followers on TikTok Grow her email list by over 600 And she’s just getting started. I can tell you how great the Smart Online Success Accelerator is all day long, but obviously I’m a bit biased as I’m the creator. Which is why I’m featuring TWO SOSA students in today’s episode. The other recent SOSA grad we feature is Julie Santiago, a health and fitness coach specializing in macro coaching who secured three clients after one month in the program. If you know 2024 is the year to make your online business something you can be proud of, something that you no longer call your “side hustle” but proudly claim as your full time income…SOSA is the blueprint to help you get there, just like it was for Laura, Julie and SO many others.

Can you actually SIGN clients FROM your podcast? If yes, HOW do you do this (especially for the launch of one of your high ticket programs)? And what’s the big deal with this “private podcast” strategy I’ve been hearing so much about. My friend, we are diving into all that and MORE in this INCREDIBLE interview with podcast expert extraordinaire, Tara Counterman. Tara Counterman is on a mission to create opportunities for women to attract, earn, and live more through innovative podcasts and intentional marketing. She is the Founder and CEO of Profitable Podcast Co & The Podfunnel Company. From the moment she found out she was pregnant she knew she wanted to be a stay-at-home mom, and she quickly developed aspirations of building their families homestead - growing, preserving, cooking their own foods, and homeschooling their girls - going to work for 40+ hours a week wasn't something to settle for. Balancing being a mom, wife, and actually enjoying life outside of a screen takes constant diligence but she truly believes as women we get to have it all. Podcasts have been foundational in Tara’s personal/business growth and since 2017 her & her team have been helping their clients to leverage the power of audio in their business to simplify, streamline, and amplify their voices.

(HEART TO HEART) 26 Weeks Pregnant & In the Hospital: This Week Didn’t Go As Planned
Remember when I said in the last episode how this pregnancy has been smooth sailing? WELL…I spoke too soon. On Monday, October 2nd I was admitted to the hospital after my cervical sonogram came back worrying the doctors because my cervical length was too short. All in all it was a scary 48 hours but I am back home (obvs since I recorded this episode) and wanted to take this time to share the story with you and again share the IMPORTANCE of surrounding yourself with positive stories when in a crisis. As I state at the beginning of this episode I recorded this episode for both this podcast and the podcast I have with my husband, Meg and Mike Do Marriage as well.

(STRATEGY WITH MEG) How to make the jump from $1k-$5K months: ACTIVATION CONTENT
How do I make the jump from $1K-$5K months? ↑A question I get asked A LOT from newer coaches. A lot of the time, you’ll sign your first few (or even 10-20) clients from referrals and word-of-mouth marketing, which is amazing. But the hard truth is…eventually your lead pool is gonna dry up. So how do you start leveraging social media to bring in clients? By ACTIVATING your audience with magnetic, hand-raiser type of content. And today’s podcast episode is ALL about how to start creating this type of content. Biz Resources →Want the post formula that goes along with this week’s podcast episode?

(HEART TO HEART): Why do we "wait" to make life altering changes?
This heart to heart starts out with a quick life update: how therapy is going, being 26 weeks pregnant and my excitement for my upcoming baby shower. But then we dive into a realization I had while on my walk with my pup the morning before I recorded this episode: why do we WAIT until we’re FORCED to make life altering changes? I am knee deep into my biz revamp to prep for twins and I’m making changes that I’ve been wanting to make for over a year, yet until I had a tragedy happen (losing my father) and a huge life change (finding out I’m pregnant with twins), I didn’t start the process. The only “regret” I have is not starting this sooner. I hope this episode (and the breakdown I give you to get started on making these changes) encourages you to get going RIGHT AWAY, even with the tiniest step forward. Those tiny steps will compound and before you know it, you’ll have accomplished a big goal you used to say “someday” about.

Reaching $5K months, booking out their coaching, on their way to a six figure a year business…and you’re like wait, we got started at the same time…why am I not there yet?

(HEART TO HEART) The truth about success timelines
In this episode I do my normal life update: pregnancy, biz remodel, and navigating grief. Spoiler Alert: I started therapy! But the bulk of this episode is inspired by two things: A conversation I had with a good friend about our success timelines (and what it truly takes that most people don’t want to admit) as well as A SOSA student going from wanting to give up on her business to signing three high ticket clients back to back after 5X’ing her rates. I hope this inspires you to see the bigger picture and hold onto your dreams of your online business being a massive success, because with time…it absolutely can be.

(Heart to Heart) How to know if you should push through or pivot
This heart to heart is SO timely for not only me but a few of my clients as well who are dealing with A LOT in their business and personal life. I made a really big decision a little over a week ago to pause my mastermind until after the babies are born, which meant needing to refund some clients who will be halfway through their contract and saying “NO” to BIG money. But I KNOW it was the right decision for me and my family, and in this episode I share why and how to discern if you should “push through” with your commitments or pivot.

(HEART TO HEART): Finding the joy in the little rituals; biz & twin pregnancy update
This week’s heart to heart involves a few updates: offer revamp timeline and pregnancy (almost at 24 weeks!) as well as a reflection on a POWERFUL quote I read this past week from James Clear. I read the quote right off the bat, but here’s a little sneak peek to wet your whistle: “Find the beauty and joy in your daily rituals and you will find beauty and joy in your daily life.” While I’m in a season of “hustle” so to speak to prep for when my twins get here, I’m also really trying to apply this philosophy to my life every single day, and enjoy tiny moments for what they are; not as “means to an end”. I hope this episode inspires you to do the same.

(HEART TO HEART) Putting Your Trust In Something Bigger Than You
When life is changing in SO many different ways, it’s easy to feel unsettled, and man can it wreak havoc on your nervous system. It’s really hard to TRUST that everything is going to work out as it should, especially when you’re a classic control freak (hi, me!) and everything seems to NOT be going according to plan. In this episode I reflect back a bit on how different my life is today than I thought it would be 3-4 years ago. I share some ways I’m regulating my nervous system when those thoughts of, “OMG! Is this all going to work out?!” come up and feel paralyzing. And mostly, I’m sharing how I’m EMBRACING the huge changes happening in our life in hopes it helps you do the same.

(STRATEGY WITH MEG) How To Get OFF The Business Emotional Rollercoaster to Create CONSISTENT High Cash Months
Is your business an emotional rollercoaster? Here's the signs of a business that's taking you on a ride you DON'T want to be on: →When business is GOOD - you're riding a high. Nothing can stop you and you don't need anybody but YOU to make it happen! → But when you hit a bump in the road (even a small one) your worst fears come crashing in and you feel like everything you've built is going to disappear overnight. Staying on this path is a guaranteed one-way ticket to burning out fast and crashing HARD. When you have no support, no community, and no one in your corner but YOU - It's so easy to make the bumps in the road seem like mountains that you can never overcome. Which leads SO many entrepreneurs to stay stuck where they are, convincing themselves they are NOT capable of overcoming the perceived mountain. In this episode I’m sharing how getting OFF this roller coaster helped me not only get my personal life back on track, but also helped me fall back in love with my business and create so much more emotional regulation to maintain high cash months.

Anytime I’m in a season of change, I like to reflect, audit and analyze what has gone well in past biz remodels and/or what has gotten me to where I’m at. Of course to experience different results you sometimes need to execute different strategies and more importantly, THINK differently. BUT…success also leaves clues and there are a few themes I’ve noticed in my business growth seasons that I wanted to share with you. The three themes I’m diving deeper into in this down and dirty episode (my version of “short” lol) are… 1. Unshakeable belief in my offer/service/skillset 2. Offer wise; having the value outweigh the cost every single time (even for my $20K+ packages) 3. Having a unique coaching method (Or unique value proposition) so I’m in competition with only myself Enjoy and as usual thank you in advance for sharing with a biz bestie!!

(HEART TO HEART) The Slingshot Effect: And Why It’s SO Essential for SUSTAINABLE Business Growth
I’m POSITIVE you’ve heard the phrase, “pull back to spring forward”, aka the slingshot effect. If you visualize a slingshot, it makes complete sense. For the ball/marble/whatever you put inside the slingshot to whip forward and go far…you need to pull it back with enough strength. That PULLBACK season is what SO many entrepreneurs resist, especially if they’ve experienced a lot of financial success and are KNOWN for that financial success. It’s like they’re scared to not have big numbers plastered all over their IG for a few months, even if they logically know it means BIGGER numbers down the line. Our egos definitely play a big part, as well as our perceived status. But my friend, there is something SO stinkin powerful about working BTS (and possibly sharing that work front facing), while you perfect your product, systems and overall messaging to come back even stronger. In this episode we’re talking about WHY this is so essential and why entrepreneurs who DON’T do this are at risk of burning out…and fast. I’m currently in my “pull back” season of the slingshot and sharing it ALL with you over on my Instagram through a special Subscription called #TWINNING OFFER REVAMP.

(AWKWARD TIME INTERVIEW) The Road to Multiple Six Figures with Shay Gottsacker: Best Launch During Summer Breakdown
Today’s awkward time interview is super special, not only because it’s a message I think EVERYONE needs to hear right now (during the sometimes slower season in summer), but with someone I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with over the last seven months. Shay Gottsacker is a fat loss coach who’s been building her brand and business since 2018. In this episode we talk about the beginning years in her business; the seemingly “slow years” that built such a strong foundation for her now multiple six figure business. We talk about how in the beginning stages it felt like pulling teeth to get people to pay attention to her content. Whereas today, having built an established brand and super engaged audience of 24,000, she most recently had her best launch yet…bringing in almost 80 clients into her signature group program. Shay has created a multiple six figure program that allows her to serve more people at the level she wants, while still having ample time for her awesome hubby and future family. This is one of the most “realistic” interviews I’ve ever had, and one I really encourage you to bookmark when times get tough. This industry likes to paint a picture of overnight successes and run a rhetoric of six figures in six months. But Shay’s story? Is real. And 100% possible for you too. Enjoy this episode, and as always thank you so much for sharing it with a fellow biz bestie you KNOW needs a “pick me up.” Biz Resources↓ Follow Shay on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shaynikkole/ Get Shay’s “From Likes to Clients” Free Training here: https://www.thebalancedwaynutrition.com/from-likes-to-clients-free-training →Making at least $8K consistent cash months and ready to expand to your next level?

(HEART TO HEART) There are way less qualified people putting themselves out there; it’s your turn
This Heart to Heart was recorded immediately after I got off of an INCREDIBLE interview with Beverly Simpson. Our conversation inspired me so much that I wanted to share a lot of what we talked about in this episode, as a “light tough love” episode. Because honestly? I see SO MANY amazing coaches and strategists NOT putting themselves out there fully because of some imaginary or “arbitrary” metric they think they have to hit to go for it. And quite frankly? It’s BS. There are far less talented people out there, far less QUALIFIED people out there confidently posting online, making tons of money, and growing their business at a quicker rate than you are. And I don’t want you to hold back anymore.

(STRATEGY WITH MEG) Masterminds vs Group Programs: What’s the Difference and Which Do I Need?
I’ve been in the coaching industry for eleven years, so I’m basically a grandma at this point. I’ve seen SO many things come and go and I’ve seen terms used interchangeably, when I really don’t think they should be. The terms “mastermind” and “group program” being two in particular. In my opinion, I find a group coaching program and a mastermind to be two very different types of offers, hence why I run my own personal group program and mastermind, well… Completely DIFFERENT. In this episode I’m diving into 1) the main differences between the two offers and 2) how to know which you need at this point in time.

(HEART TO HEART): Letting Go of Control, Setting Boundaries, & Playing with Time
Today’s heart to heart is in true Meg fashion: a hodgepodge of my thoughts and feelings from the past week. I touch on how hard it has been for me to let go of control, especially when it comes to the creative aspects of my business, and how working with a marketing agency is forcing me to do so. I also dive into my recently slight obsession with scrolling on social media and re-checking my metrics, and how just setting some boundaries this week has increased my happiness level and decreased my stress. And we close it up with this juxtaposition feeling I’ve been having about pregnancy; wanting it to speed up so I can meet my boys but also wanting to freeze time to spend as much time alone with Mike and Luna before our lives completely change. As usual, thank you thank you thank you for sharing this episode and being part of The #PrettyAwkward fam. I don’t take it for granted for one second, and am eternally grateful to you for listening.

(STRATEGY WITH MEG) When Is It Time for a Biz Remodel? My APEC Framework to help you pivot powerfully
Last week I polled my Instagram and asked, “are you in a season of change in your business?” and 96% said either “changing SO much” or “changing a little.” I’m honestly not surprised with those results, because this time of year (halfway through) is when a lot of people evaluate the first 6 months and see if they’re on track to reach their 2023 goals or even see if those goals are in alignment anymore. In this episode not only do I break down my APEC framework (a process to audit your business to see what’s keeping you stuck, what’s working, where you have potential to grow & what you need to remodel in your biz to get there) but I also share a sometimes ugly truths most entrepreneurs need to deal with when faced with this need to change. It involves our lovely EGO (oh so fun). Strap in my friend, because this is a juicy episode and one worth listening to TWICE.

(HEART TO HEART) My latest $57,500 business investment after finding out I was having twins.
I believe in SEASONS when it comes to your business. In real life? Honestly, I could forgo winter now that I’m moving back to New York full time, but #Idigress Seasons of rest Seasons of “hustle” (or replace with a word that represents you being focused and busier than usual) Seasons of the need for coaching, mentorship, masterminds Seasons of learning (investing in courses, VIP days, plans of action) Seasons of DFY (getting shit done FOR you). And after a long discussion with my husband we decided I am in the season of DFY AND mentorship. And even though my initial reaction to twins was, “this is gonna be expensive”, my next reaction was “OKAY! Time to get help to remodel this biz and support these twins like we never imagined possible.” In this episode I’m breaking down both investments and why this was the right season for us to make them. I hope it helps you evaluate what type of help YOU need next, whether that’s in mentorship, a program or your team.

(STRATEGY WITH MEG) How I Took An Unplanned Four Weeks Off Of My Business Without My Clients Skipping A Beat
It’s one thing to prep your clients, audience, and team for a planned vacation. It’s another when life completely comes at you and you’re FORCED to take time off. Well that’s exactly what happened to me at the end of May when my father passed. Within 24 hours I made the decision to take a month off of serving clients, posting on social and my podcast/email list. So how did I quickly tell my audience? How did I prep my clients to be okay during this time? What was their progress like while I was gone? HINT: It was AMAZING. Like best launches yet amazing. In this episode I dive into how my live programs are set up to not only survive without me, but THRIVE without me. I hope this encourages you to take a look at your business model and see what small tweaks you could make to prepare for unexpected life happenings or heck, maybe you just need a week off and don’t want to “prepare” for it.

(HEART TO HEART) SURPRISE…We’re Pregnant (with TWINS)!
After my father passed, I honestly forgot I was pregnant. (Obviously not for long, but it was just so clouded by immense grief). Then my husband and I went to our first sonogram (10 days after he passed) and found out… WE’RE HAVING TWINS. Talk about a P-I-V-O-T. Our life got completely turned upside down for the second time in one month, but this time in the most beautiful way possible. If you’re not familiar with our story, my husband and I have had quite the journey to get to this point; separating in 2020 for 6 months on the brink of divorce to having a marriage that gets stronger every single day, EVEN WHEN while experiencing such huge loss including, losing his dad, my dad and having a miscarriage last year. It's hard for me to put into words how I truly feel, so in true Meg fashion I recorded this Heart to Heart podcast episode for you, my first in over a month. It’s raw, vulnerable and if you've experienced loss, please proceed with caution. And you better bet I’ll be using these Heart to Heart’s to give you the in real time updates, especially in how we’re changing up the structure of my biz to accommodate not one, but TWO babies coming to us in Jan of 2024 (most likely December cuz twins like to come early). To quote my friend in response to all we’ve been through to find this out: “This is showing us all to keep believing. There’s light, there’s hope even in the darkest times.” Thank you for listening.

(AWKWARD TIME INTERVIEW) How to Go Deeper With Your Messaging To Create a Lasting Brand & Business with Isabella Sanchez
When it comes to selling your offers consistently on social media, there is NOTHING more important than having the right messaging. You could have the best launch strategy, vehicle, funnel, etc in the world, but if the messaging that is INSIDE of it isn’t ACTIVATING your ideal client, it’s not going to result in what you’re wanting = more sales. It’s like having the crust of a pie without the ooey gooey goodness inside…kinda pointless, lackluster and dry. Well my #prettyawkward friend, you’re in for a treat, because today’s awkward time interview is with messaging expert, Isabella Sanchez, who does NOT hold back in sharing her framework for creating deeper messaging no matter where you’re starting in business. Isabella is one of my favorite humans in the world and we worked together on and off for over three years, so not only will you learn a lot in this episode, but I have a feeling you’ll just enjoy the tone of it and feel like you’re listening in on a conversation between two old friends.

Life Update: My dad’s sudden passing, the last four weeks, and how my time off could help you
If you haven’t been in my world over the last month, you might not know that my father, John Yelaney, passed away unexpectedly on May 26th. My entire world was flipped upside down when this happened and I made the decision to take off work for four weeks; both client facing work as well as emails, podcasting and social content. This episode is a very honest and possibly at points TMI episode of what life has been like for me over the last four weeks. I wanted to be as real as possible with you and not sugarcoat what’s been going on in my world. I share why and how I took the last four weeks of work off, and why I decided to still go ahead with a retreat I had planned during this time. I also share what to expect from me in the coming weeks. Thank you for being the type of community that not only showered me with love during the hardest moment in my life, but who I also feel so comfortable being my complete self with. What I’ll be sharing over the next few weeks isn’t easy and it’ll be incredibly vulnerable, but I know that’s what you’ve learned to love about my brand and NEED right now. I’m committed to taking my hardships and lessons and paying them forward in hopes it helps someone else. And let me just say, there are a few other surprises coming that I’ve been incredibly excited to share, so trust me…you’ll want to stay tuned to this podcast, my email and social media over the next few weeks.

You’re in for a TREAT my #prettyawkward friend, because today’s interview is a no holding back truth bomb typa episode. Taylor Slango is an INCREDIBLE business and embodiment coach for spiritual entrepreneurs and someone I’ve “grown up with” in this coaching industry. In my opinion she’s one of the GOAT’S and has stayed the course of all the changes, ups & downs, and MAJOR life shifts she’s experienced. She is SO adaptable and knows how to adjust and pivot when appropriate (both because of social media changes and because of LIFE changes). And in this episode she is truly peeling back the curtain on how different business felt post motherhood; something she didn’t fully anticipate. Get ready…this is about to blow your mind.

You are in for a real treat with today’s guest, because Kendall Strampel is a POWERHOUSE AND…she’s 24 years old. This woman has built not one, but TWO incredibly successful businesses and really shares so openly about what it took to get there. She is a 7 figure fitness business consultant, and serial entrepreneur . She founded Fearstofit Fitness coaching and the Wealthy Womens business academy. After scaling a fitness coaching company to 7 figures by age 22, she became obsessed with self mastery and business development. She now helps other visionary women scale with the coaches organic growth method and seamless systems so they can create more flow both in their life and business. At one point Kendall had 100 clients in her fitness coaching business and almost stripped it down to nothing to travel the world and really find herself. The past few years has been a re-building and systematizing journey to the incredibly successful business she has today. If there’s one major theme we discuss in this episode it’s having a long-term focus when it comes to your business, something she adopted so early on at such a young age. I know this is going to be such an impactful episode for you, and one you’ll want to bookmark for the future.

What do you think of when you hear the word “confidence.” If you’re like 99% of the world you probably first think “chest up and out, maybe a little louder or that quiet confidence people can have, and definitely sure of themselves.” But I have a feeling today’s conversation with Jordan Gomez is going to flip that on it’s head for you. Jordan aka “J.Go” is a Life Coach, Speaker, and the host of the Confidently Uncomfortable Podcast. She helps empower women to create healthy habits, long-term lifestyle change and feel confident in their skin. And this interview is honestly? Just such a breath of fresh air. Being a successful entrepreneur REQUIRES confidence, but not in that initial way I described above. It’s showing up as you, even when you feel like you’re not at your best. And I have no doubt that this episode will give you that confidence boost you need to go after that next goal, show up more fully as yourself on social media or say “no” to something that’s not serving you.

My Mentorship Journey: All of The Investments I’ve Made: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
In today’s episode I’m peeling back the curtain and taking you behind the scenes over the last 5+ years of my business investments. When did I first invest in my business and what was it? What were my best investments? What were my worst investments? What coaching styles did I love? What did I NOT love? I’m going to be VERY honest in this episode and shoot it to you straight (as per usual). One of the things I’ll stress most is how I see a lot of people either 1) wait to invest when they really needed help sooner and could’ve had such faster growth or 2) see people invest at too high a level too quickly, thinking it’ll catapult them, when it really just stresses them. It’s a juicy one, so get out your tea and get ready to spill a little ;) ↑LOL, that's me trying to be cool.

Chrysa is an INCREDIBLE career coach helping professionals get career satisfaction, clarity or completely pivot their career. And #funfact , she originally said “no” to joining SOSA. A few days later she realized this was exactly what she needed. Now? She’s a full time career coach, facilitating packed to the brim in person workshops, and just landed her first $5K deal. But more than that, like she says in this interview, she’s most proud of all the personal growth she’s achieved, especially how quickly she can tap into her creativity and think outside the box to solve problems. Like the time she went from having VERY few people enrolled for a workshop to reaching her goal of 50 in less than one week. She goes on to say “It (SOSA) really was the best investment, the best gift I could buy for myself, for my business. And it truly feels like a family.” If you’re hesitating because of the investment or any other reason, shoot me a DM. Chrysa felt this too and she can tell you firsthand, I will never pressure you into joining.

(SOSA STUDENT CASE STUDY): Pivoting to a new industry: how taking on a beginner mindset helped her bring in $7K in sales in 2 weeks with Sami
It’s not easy to ask for help, especially when you feel like you’re ‘starting over.’ But that’s exactly what Sami, our SOSA student feature of the day, did when she joined us last year. Sami pivoted from digital nomad coaching to relationship coaching and was struggling to really find her flow with content and sign clients in this new niche. She plugged into the SOSA support system, specifically diving into the TikTok lesson and launch mini course. Her TikTok blew up to almost 10K followers and her most recent launch brought in $7K in sales in two weeks. But she WAS hesitant to join because she had been a part of a group program before, and felt like “a number” or “one of many.” This episode highlights how different her experience in SOSA was from that last group program. Listen, digest, and consider what could be possible for you if you TOO ask for the help you need and take on a beginner mindset.

Meet Angela, a macro nutrition coach and emotional eating specialist. Angela’s journey has not been an easy one to say the least. She joined Smart Online Success Accelerator shortly after losing her father, and was questioning if she even wanted to continue on with her business. Everything seemed stacked against her and she was in a really tough spot. After digging into the curriculum, getting live coaching and doing the work on herself, she slowly started to come out of this dark place and before you knew it, the momentum picked up and man… She’s been unstoppable ever since, dropping win after win after win inside our Slack channel. “I just had a weekend I've never had before, which was really cool. I had so many people reaching out to me, like, every hour. I had people texting me reaching out to me. And I signed three clients in the span of like, eight hours.” This is possible for you too.

(SOSA STUDENT CASE STUDY): From 0-$12K launch & booking out her 1-1 coaching with Rebecca
I get a lot of questions about how my clients have been able to create a full time income from their online business. I break down the entire approach inside of Smart Online Success Accelerator…and this interview with Rebecca also highlights our process beautifully. Rebecca is a career coach and one of our amazing past students who not only hit consistent $5K months… But went on to have a $12K group program launch AND hit her highest income month yet at $20K. My friend…these results can be yours once you’re inside of the SOSA. The only caveat? If you want to actually ACHIEVE these results, you HAVE to be willing to put in the upfront time and effort. This is something Rebecca states in her full interview. “Once you get in, you need to take action and utilize the support that is there, because there IS SO MUCH. Make sure you’re making use of it so that you can actually see the results, because only YOUR actions will get you the results you’re looking for.” By following each phase of this program and applying what you learn, you WILL see exponential results. But these wins only belong to entrepreneurs ready to get out of their comfort zone. It won’t happen overnight, but it will absolutely be worth it. Are you ready? Link below to join!

(STRATEGY WITH MEG) Group Coaching vs 1-1: Which Should You Do and When?
Today’s episode was inspired from a bonus zoom training I did with the people on my SOSA 2.0 Waitlist. They asked such great questions and a recurring one was.. “When is it time to launch a group program?” A lot of them were coming up against consistent price objections or working with a clientele that truly would do better in a group atmosphere because of the nature of the coaching. And even though 90% of the time I recommend beginners start with 1-1 coaching as their main offer, in this podcast we break down when it’s appropriate to deviate from that “rule of thumb.” Enjoy and as always, thank you for sharing this with a biz bestie or fellow entrepreneur!

(HEART TO HEART) How to Show Up For Your Online Business When Life is LIFE-ING: Three Specific Actions to Take
I’ve been on a Podcast tour lately and a big topic I’ve been discussing is how to show up on social media and for your business in general when your personal life is HAP-PEN-ING! AKA: sh*t is hitting the fan. I feel like I’ve become a pro at this over the last few years between a separation AND reunion with my husband, losing my father-in-law to prostate cancer, getting pregnant and having a miscarriage, and having my dad’s health be up and down and him in and out of the hospital for the last two months. It’s been…A LOT. Yet my business has still managed to serve people and my content output hasn’t taken a hit. And it’s not because I’m a workaholic ignoring my family and personal priorities; but quite the opposite. There are three specific reasons I’ve been able to still show up even when all of these life events have happened and in today’s episode we break them down in detail. Prepping ahead Repurposing Letting your audience know before you disappear I know this episode will help you at some point along your journey, because life WILL “happen” while you’re building your biz (if it hasn’t already). Thank you in advance for sharing this one, because it truly was extra special to record and I want this message out in the world more than anything.

(HEART TO HEART) The Slippery Slope Of Attaching Your Worth to How Much Money You Make
I LOVE MONEY. Let me start by saying that. I love what money can do when in the hands of good people. I love the experiences and life money has afforded me and my clients. I love the impact I’ve been able to make with money. But what I didn’t love along this business journey? Was how attached my worth as a human became SO TIED to how much money I made, not to mention my daily mood swings. Good income month? Happy as a clam. Lower income month? It’s the end of the world. Over the last two years I’ve done a lot of work re-wiring these habits and I can say with complete confidence I’ve come out on the other side. The funny part? My MONEY goals are actually way WAY bigger today than they were a few years ago. But I no longer look at the achievement of my goals in a specified time period as an indicator of my worthiness. I no longer base my moods on money. And my friend, it’s the most freeing feeling in the world. I’m happy. I love my life. And money gets to be a beautiful part of it, enhancing experiences and giving my family and I choices. And I’ll never take that for granted for one minute. I promise if you ever work in ANY of my programs to always help you build a business in a way that helps you have a healthy relationship with money; one that expands you and doesn’t stress you. I hope this impacts you as much as it honestly impacted me to record it.

(HEART TO HEART) Can You Be a Successful CEO AND A Successful Mom: The Work/Life Balance Fallacy
What else is new, I’m getting vulnerable in today’s heart to heart and sharing a fear that’s come up for me in the past few weeks as I’ve been working through a program called To Be Magnetic. This program is all about rewiring subconscious beliefs to manifest what you desire, and I went into this honestly thinking it would be a breeze and I wouldn’t have much to work through, because honestly? I truly believe I can create the life I desire, because I already have in so many ways. But when I went to do the work this fear of “can I truly be the successful CEO I want to be AND the mom I want to be all at the same time?” thought kept coming up as my husband and I are back in the trying to conceive journey. I have NO DOUBT this one will resonate with my mom entrepreneurs or any entrepreneurs who want to eventually be a mom one day, but even if you don’t fall in this camp, I think it’ll bring up the power of our minds and how working on ourselves truly IS THE KEY to growing our business. Thank you again for being such an amazing listener, one that I feel comfortable enough sharing my thoughts with even when they feel embarrassing or ridiculous.

(AWKWARD TIME INTERVIEW) How More Pleasure & Sex Can Lead to Higher Profits w/ Hannah Deindorfer (and my husband)
Want to hear how awkward and uncomfortable I can be? Then listen to this interview ;) LOL But in all seriousness I really wanted to have the conversation about linking pleasure with money and abundance and there is no one more suited that came to mind than my friend and former client, Hannah Deindorfer, an expert in sex and somatics. And we thought why not bring my husband on so we can really dive in and share our personal experience with forgoing pleasure when business was a distraction and escape in our marriage and how prioritizing pleasure now lets us show up more fully & in such a vibrant way in our businesses. We are sharing things we have NEVER shared on the podcast before (hello sex life?!) because I felt so comfortable having Hannah there to hold the space. She talks about how women, specifically entrepreneurs, can learn to… Receive more (both in the bedroom and in business) Balance their yin and yang (also referred to as masculine and feminine) to thrive in both business and their intimacy Create self pleasure rituals to connect with their intuition + truly increase the amount of creative downloads they have (that lead to their most profitable ideas) This is one for the books. Thanks in advance for being the type of community I feel comfortable sharing this out of my comfort zone topic with. I KNOW someone in my audience needs to hear this message just like I needed to a few years ago. Cheers to more pleasure and profits baby.

You are in for a treat with this Awkward Time Interview my friend, because our guest today, Lindsay Dollinger has a different story from most of our past interviewees. She is still working her full time job as a High School Spanish teacher while simultaneously having a full blown business coaching business. Why? Because she loves what she does with her students. She didn’t set out to replace her income when she started her business, but truly built it from a passion to help others using the expertise she had built up from her experiences in network marketing. We talk a lot about the fear of judgment from friends and family when starting your business, how that held Lindsay back in the beginning, AND how she overcame it. This episode is a breath of fresh air and shows what’s truly possible when you operate from service and do something you’re passionate about (oh, and have really great time management skills LOL).

(HEART TO HEART) Fixing Something That Isn’t Broken, Loving Live Launching, & Our New TikTok Plan; An Update
Your unique way of doing things IS your ticket to success in business. When we see someone successful and change EVERYTHING we do to try and emulate that success without analysis, we slow down our growth. Why? Because their way isn’t necessarily OUR way. We have to lean into our strengths and natural instincts and build upon those instead of trying to fit ourselves in a box we were never meant to be in. I’m diving deep into this concept in today’s episode and sharing some mistakes I’ve made (so you don’t have to) AND our TikTok strategy 😍 (Random but valuable nonetheless!) Sneak Peek of Today’s episode 1: It’s very easy to make the wrong diagnosis in your business & unnecessarily change things around. I thought the problem was launching; it wasn’t. It was the frequency and the structure of the offers AFTER the launch was over. 2: Don’t get distracted by other people’s success who have completely different strengths than you. I tried to be more “flowy” and in the moment with my launches and planning, and that’s just not who I am. I’m a planner. I always have been, and my most fun (and ease filled) launches HAVE been more planned out. 3: TikTok is fun ;) And while we were going to take a pure personal brand, “post a ton of different stuff” approach, we’ve decided to create two different ones so my husband and I can really go all in on building one purely about our separation story/marriage/etc. Enjoy and as always, thank you for sharing this episode with a fellow #prettyawkward entrepreneur!

(COUPLES CONVERSATIONS) Kelsea & Eric: Making Hard Business Decisions To Put Their Family First
This week's special segment Couples Conversations is back with an INCREDIBLE interview with Kelsea & Eric Koenreich. This conversation really inspired Mike and I, and reminded us HOW important prioritizing your relationship is, especially while in the midst of entrepreneurship. They share so vulnerably, walking us through the many different business ventures that had to be paused or discontinued (for now, at least!) to really focus on what was most important: their growing family. “Your success is measured by the quality of your life” is something Kelsea has said to me many times in our private conversations, and boy is that the theme of this episode. If you’re an entrepreneur, this episode is going to inspire you. If you’re married AND an entrepreneur, it’s going to rock you. And if you’re married, an entrepreneur AND have kids? WOOF. It’s going to change you. Thanks as always for listening. —---------------------- Kelsea Koenreich is a powerful speaker and mentor for business owners. She has over 10 years of coaching experience and has been an entrepreneur since 2011. She has the gift of inspiring others to see their potential so they step into their power and live their true purpose. From nightly binge-drinking and three arrests to author, speaker, successful entrepreneur, wife and mom of 3, her story is proof of what is possible for women. She brings a unique perspective that allows people to move faster, recreate who they desire to be and become the most successful version of themselves. Eric Koenreich is a forty year old father of three that’s been around the block and then some. He’s been working in and around the fitness industry since the 2000s while dabbling in all sorts of stuff - Powerlifting, bodybuilding, endurance training, Brazilian Jiujitsu, and even professional wrestling. He’s been morbidly obese at 310 pounds and has also stepped on a bodybuilding stage at 170 pounds. He’s battled Binge Eating Disorder and won and has helped hundreds of people get stronger, improve their body composition, and improve their overall quality of life. In the past five years he’s grown a large social media following by posting junk food (Seriously.) He never thought what he did was anything special, but so many people seem to be confused as to how to balance their fitness goals with their reg

(HEART TO HEART) Commonalities Between My Most Successful Clients
What do successful people have in common? ↑The age-old question that everyone seems to ask themselves. While there’s no ‘right’ answer (because everyone will have a different perspective based on THEIR experience), I’m pretty positive that the answers always have to do more with who these people are BECOMING and not specifically what they did strategically. I felt really called to record this episode because… 1) My clients have been CRUSHING it lately and 2) I'm seeing a lot of talk about the how, how, how and not enough people focusing on who they’re becoming to see the success they’re craving. And the thing is? When you focus on the six attributes I’m sharing with you in this episode, the “right strategy” falls into place. EVERY DAMN TIME. So grab your cup o’ coffee, get comfy and get ready to take notes. This is hands down one you’re going to want to take action on like TOMORROW. I even give you a very DOABLE action plan, one that I know you can implement no matter how busy you are. Enjoy & thank you as always for taking a minute to share this episode with ONE friend.

(COUPLES CONVERSATIONS) James & Angela Mitchell: Learning How to Coach Together & Building a Brand Based on Loving Intentionally
This interview was an extra special one for Mike & I because James & Angela are our personal relationship & intimacy coaches; who we’ve been working with since October 2021. They have completely revitalized our marriage and intimacy in SO many ways (which we get into in depth in this episode), but also have an incredibly unique story that I KNOW will impact you. James started out as an entrepreneur from the get go while Angela was juggling her job as a counselor and three children (two of which were under the age of four). A little while later Angela and James formed their company, Love Intentionally, helping couples design, implement, and sustain a conscious relationship rooted in depth and intimacy. The ‘crunchy’ transition period (as they put it so accurately) was NOT an easy one, and we go in depth into how they juggled it all and how they still put their relationship first today so many years later. This truly is such a beautiful and inspirational episode, and one I KNOW you’ll want to bookmark. As always, thank you so much for sharing. —---------------------- Pulling from their experiences personally in their 10+ years of marriage and professionally as a licensed counselor and certified coach, Angela and James Mitchell developed Love Intentionally to help couples design, implement, and sustain a conscious relationship rooted in depth and intimacy. Angela has been in the field of counseling and coaching for almost 20 years including crisis counseling for survivors of abuse, counseling children and families as a school counselor, and couples and relationship coaching. Her superpower is allowing women of all ages to recognize, own, and embody their goddessness and power. James is passionate about living his best life and helping others to do the same. He has coached hundreds of clients in multiple arenas and industries. His superpower is asking the right questions that cut through the noise to find clarity.

(HEART TO HEART) Coming Back To Yourself In 2023; Why ‘Failures’ Are Feedback
It’s funny how sometimes you have to veer so far off course to go right back to where you were at the start. But the thing is, that ‘where you were’ is now from a completely different perspective after that long trip. That’s exactly what I feel like has happened to me and my business in the last few months, but was magnified after I had my first 1-1 call with my new business coach this past weekend. I realized pretty quickly that I had been hiding a huge piece of myself (unintentionally) because of a launch that didn’t go as planned. A piece that makes me who I am in this industry. A piece that I’ve been missing SO much. And in this episode I walk you through what it means to come back home, aka come back to yourself but in a new and elevated way. I’m SO excited about all we are bringing you this year and hope this episode inspires you to realize what a beautiful foundation you probably already have. I bet you don’t need to burn your biz to the ground (ever) but just need some insights on how to spruce it up to match who you are TODAY.

The FIRST couple interview in our new series: Couples Conversations, where my husband and I interview successful entrepreneur couples and how they juggle it all: family, money, business, and yes…even sex. In this episode we are interviewing Eve and Randall Guzman, a couple that I (Meg) am personally very close with, having been friends with Eve since 2017. Eve and Randall are such a beautiful representation of what it means to be a TEAM, both in their business AND marriage. But it did NOT start out that way. In this episode they get very honest about the moments they didn’t think they’d make it (including two times they separated) and some of the hurdles they had to overcome when Randall came to work full time in the business. I KNOW you’re going to love their authenticity and vulnerability, and highly encourage you to share this episode with someone you KNOW needs it! —---------------------- EVE & RANDALL BIO’S Eve Guzman, MLS (ASCP), is a nutritionist, personal trainer, business coach and CEO of G-Transformation Academy, which aims to help women ditch fad diets, lose weight effectively, and build their metabolism through evidence-based coaching. Eve is the creator of the Macro Nutrition Coaching Certification (Macro Mentorship) a 4-month NASM, AFAA, and ISSA approved CEU group coaching certificate program plus business course for health coaches. Randall an investor, day trader and the CFO for G-Transformation Academy. He has a BA in Sports Management and a MBA in Applied Management. He is a former college defensive lineman who also played professional football in the UIFL and UIFL. Always a big guy with not so great eating habits, during his football career Randall averaged a playing weight that ranged from 295-305 pounds. After hanging up the cleats, Randall continued to engage in the same bad eating habits he had acquired, and practiced, during the majority of his early life. Just one year later, he weighed in at his highest weight of 386 pounds. After Randall decided he was done being out of shape and unhealthy, he tried many (unsuccessful) dieting fads. In January of 2014, he dedicated himself to a healthy lifestyle, vowing to lose at least 100 pounds. Sixteen months later he accomplished this feat through macro counting, weight lifting, and HIIT (high-intensity interval training). Today, Rand

(HEART TO HEART) Anti-Hustle Culture: Have We Swung Too Far The Other Way?
My version of ‘tough love’ is comin out in this episode in hopes that it helps drive you into inspired and aligned action. We hear ‘flowy business’ so much in the online space and while I feel that’s SO possible, it also isn’t possible ALL the time or in the very beginning stages of business (for most people). In this episode I’m sharing my beginning journey and how I had to get resourceful AF when shit simply wasn’t working for me. I followed the process my upline taught me in my network marketing company and when it felt unaligned and out of date, I didn’t quit or complain that “this just doesn’t work.” I figured it out. I asked questions. I got curious. I googled A LOT. And I didn’t place blame OR praise on other people for why I was or wasn’t having the success I wanted. I took radical responsibility and showed up when it wasn’t convenient and when I didn’t feel like it. I 100% believe you can have a flowy business, but it’s gonna take a little bit of grit & perseverance (okay, A LOT a bit) to get to that point; and I’d hate for you to think you’re doing something ‘wrong’ because it’s been a hard season for you. You’re NOT doing anything wrong. It is just part of the path to success in entrepreneurship.

This interview is an example of DECIDING you’ll be successful and truly not giving up even with many, many setbacks long the way. My interview today is with a dear friend, and long time client of mine, Hailey Schmidt, who’s positive and LONG TERM outlook on entrepreneurship is nothing short of remarkable. From getting started as an in person trainer, working from sunup to sundown, to getting pregnant WHILE starting her online business, Hailey has had her fair share of obstacles, and every excuse in the book to not make her business work. But she DECIDED it was happening, and didn’t take one setback as “THE” end. She saw every roadblock or mistake as feedback and data to move forward. And after pivoting into business coaching, has not only built an incredibly loyal community, but also developed a framework for moms that is truly helping them build SUSTAINABLE online businesses, called…The MAMA Method.

(MEG & MIKE) Trying for a baby, navigating grief, 75 hard & so much more
TRIGGER WARNING: Miscarriage mentioned Last Thursday my husband and I anxiously sat in the OBGYN's office waiting to hear when we could start trying for a baby again. It has been six months since my miscarriage and because of the type of pregnancy I had, we were told we might have to wait 6-12 months to start trying again. So when the doctor walked in and immediately exclaimed, "NOW"... I was at first confused (not realizing what he meant lol) and then elated. But pretty quickly I realized my husband, while incredibly happy, also had this cloud of deep sadness around him. Because every good thing that happens to us right now is bittersweet because we can't tell his dad who passed away in March of this year. In this episode we discuss... How our modified “75 hard” had to be modified more for Mike’s poker competition How playing 90 hours of poker/week changed Mike’s habits & mindset with his work Being told we can start trying for a baby again: the excitement & feelings of sadness it brought Sneak peek of what’s to come with our new series launching on Jan 2nd: Couples Conversations This is a very open, & vulnerable episode (as per usual with these Friday Heart to Hearts) and if you've experienced great loss this year, it could be triggering if you're not ready to hear about it. If you are ready, I hope this helps you (and entertains you a bit, because we laugh a lot and have fun in this episode as well). Thank you for being a part of THE BEST community in the world; one in which we feel comfortable to keep sharing our journey so openly in hopes that it helps someone else.

(AWKWARD TIME INTERVIEW) w/ myself: Creating the WRONG Business & the Importance of Profit
Today I’m sharing an interview from a podcast I was recently on, because it was THAT GOOD. Shoutout to Emma-Louise Parkes at The Ambitious Introvert for having me on and prompting such a powerful conversation. The original episode & Emma’s podcast is linked below for you as well. 10/10 recommend following & regularly listening to her podcast. Episode Info The common narrative in the online space is all about growing your business - but what if you actually want to go the other way and scale DOWN? In today’s episode Emma is interviewing me about the trajectory of my business & how it probably isn’t what you expect. In fact, I made a decision around the time of the pandemic to make huge changes in my business to both simplify the model and make it more sustainable. In this episode we talk about: How clarifying the reasons why I was in business led to a big restructure Why I made the decision to make drastic cuts in my revenue How to create healthy boundaries when working as a coach The difference between revenue and profit (and why what you see online isn’t always what you think it is) Why simplicity in your business model can have an enormous impact on your happiness and profitability Why how much a coach earns shouldn’t be a deciding factor for you working with them Listen to the original episode here: →Listen on iTunes here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/creating-the-wrong-business-the-importance-of/id1534332235?i=1000586053269 →Listen on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/47SkWWjZaGSiIg3RlA4zAD?si=b3939f735e16435f</spa

(HEART TO HEART) Six Months Post Miscarriage Update
TRIGGER WARNING: In this episode I talk openly about my miscarriage experience and how I’ve been feeling since it happened. I talk about how I dealt with seeing friends get pregnant and have babies during this time, how I handled the waves of grief, and how I showed up (or didn’t) for work during this time. If you need to take a break when you’re grieving, take a break. If you need to dive into work when you’re grieving, dive into work. If you want to keep it all to yourself, keep it all to yourself. If you want to share it with the world, share it with the world. The biggest thing I’ve learned? Is to make sure within all of those choices, I let myself FEEL and process, otherwise I’ll never work through the pain. I hope this episode helps you if you’ve had any type of loss, especially in knowing that you’re not alone. Thank you for being part of such an incredible community that makes me feel so comfortable talking about this in hopes that it helps someone else.

Are You In Need of a Business Remodel?
The word ‘pivot’ is thrown around A LOT in the entrepreneur world and I myself have used it ad nauseam . But the truth is, usually we’re not making a drastic pivot, but simply changing things around in the WAY we do business; aka a business remodel. In this episode I share when I knew it was time to remodel parts of my business and give you six specific SIGNS to look for when considering yours. I hope by the end of this episode you have a lot more clarity and direction on what your next step is. Let’s goooo.

(HEART TO HEART) Finding Peace & Separating Your Identity From Your Business
It’s a slippery slope when we identify solely with what makes us money or what brings us accolades, achievement, recognition, etc. The highs are OH so high, but the lows? Well they can really rock us to our core. Entrepreneurship is a rollercoaster already, but when we fully identify with our business and are only happy if things are going the way we want them to, then we’re setting ourselves up for a lot of unnecessary heartache. In this episode I talk about how I’ve come to find this inner peace for honestly the first time in my entire life and a huge reason is I don’t equal my worth to my business success anymore. It’s the most freeing feeling, and something I didn’t expect especially when I’m changing so much in my business. I think this one will shock you in many ways, but also be something you need to hear right now.

Celina asks some crucial questions to help you figure out if you should stay the course and trust the path you’re on is the right one, or trust that inner nudge to do the thing you’ve been putting off doing.

(HEART TO HEART) A Pivot Like No Other: What’s REALLY Going on In My Business
I have shared all year how much I’ve changed in my business; how it looks completely different today than it did a few years ago when I was making a shit ton of $$, but on the verge of burnout. And what I’ve realized over the last few weeks? Not much has TRULY changed. Because sure, my product suite looks a little different and the way I’ve been selling has tweaked a bit (way less live launching, more BTS selling + funnel creation). But my approach and THINKING when it comes to making $$ and creating offers hasn’t. “What will bring in money and what do I think my audience wants/needs?” ↑That’s what has been driving everything for me this year. VS… “What do I feel SO called to share? Where do my passions lie, and what…at this moment, is my mission?” ↑THIS is what my next level self is ready for. No more creating offers just because I know they’ll sell. No more launching programs just because I’ve put a lot of time/energy/resources into them. In this episode I bare it all with you, and share how I’ve been TRULY feeling and what I’m really desiring in my business; something I haven't shared with complete honesty yet. You get it first my #PrettyAwkward Podcast fam, because…you’re the best. I hope this inspires you to make the changes you’re wanting to make and go for them with complete confidence, knowing that in the end…it will all work out as it’s meant to.

(HEART TO HEART) End Of Year Challenge: Our Version of “75 Hard”
My husband Mike and I decided to take on a little end of the year challenge, and create our own version of Andy Frisella’s, “75 Hard.” We decided to modify ours because our intention for doing this challenge is to connect more together while in a very busy season of life. This is what fits my husband and my current lifestyle, while still stretching us out of our comfort zone. I honestly do a lot of these things already, but stretching a few beyond what I’m used to (water, veggies, very limited processed foods). This is a busy season for us: 1️⃣Mike is in a poker focused competition for the next 6 weeks, playing in person around 50 hours/week 2️⃣I’m revamping a TON in my business while serving my current clients 3️⃣We’re both anxiously awaiting the call from our doctor to give us the go ahead to start trying for a baby again (could be in one month, could be in 6). ❤️This “53 Hard” is to help us focus during this busy season, because our list will make us feel better inside and out and help us show up more fully for our commitments (including our marriage). In this episode I walk you through everything we’re doing during this time and hope you enjoy following along! I’m curious, have you done 75 hard, whether modified or exactly as laid out?

As per usual, we’re getting very honest in this episode, and I’m sharing how I’ve been craving and feeling a big change coming in my business for quite some time now. I share how it has really been sparked by big life changes that have occurred this year, and how these type of events (whether traumatic or celebratory) really make you reflect on what you’re doing and as “cliche” as this sounds, rethink your life purpose. I give you full permission to change your mind, and hopefully help you see how none of what you’ve done or are doing has been a ‘waste’, something that keeps a LOT of people stuck where they are.

[DAY 3]: Create & Market Your Next Sold Out Offer Free Live Course
💰Day 3 is all about Appropriately PRICING Your Offer “How do I price my offer?” ↑Hands down one of the most debated and stressed over questions out there in the online space. In today’s training I’m helping you pick a starting price for your offer by considering three factors: 1: The industry frames of reference for different offers. There’s no rule for how to price, but there are guidelines — and I’ll give them to you here. 2: How to design a payment plan that works for everyone who’s right for your offer 3: Adapting your offers to the economy & world changes that affect your audience: Discussing downsells, payment plans, and evergreen vs open close cart offers SELLING THE OFFER BONUS: Real life examples of effectively selling different price point offers at the same time. Pricing can be a tricky egg. You want to take your client and their lifestyle into consideration, of course and make it as fair as possible. But you also don’t want to price it so low that people who AREN’T right for your offer join, and then don’t apply themselves, because it’s barely a drop in the bucket. It’s gotta be a price they take SERIOUSLY. You also need to pay the bills and deserve to get paid WELL for the work you do. The transformations you provide are WORTH it. I know😎 In addition to what I listed above we’ll also talk about ethical pricing...AND I’ll share mistakes I’ve made along the way, in addition to grossly under charging. 🎉SMART ONLINE SUCCESS ACADEMY IS OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT AND $550 OFF THROUGH SEPTEMBER 21ST!

[DAY 2]: Create & Market Your Next Sold Out Offer Free Live Course
❤️Day 2 is all about HOW you help your client experience a transformation: the deliverables and framework of your offer. This training is MEATY and has three really essential parts. Part 1: Framework Now that you know WHAT that transformation is (from Day 1!), we must map out the specific steps you take them through to get there. How do you take them from their ‘before’ to their ‘after’? What are the ‘in-between’ steps that happen? This is where you’ll use your skills and experience! Part 2: Timeline Here are a few things to consider when determining your offer timeline. Size of Transformation (1-10) Risk of Transformation (1-10) Realistic Timeline Needed to Achieve These Things Stretch Timeline Needed to Achieve These Things Happy Medium I’m gonna explain these five parts more deeply in today’s training as well as what should go INTO your offer (Part 3 of today’s training): Part 3: Deliverables # of calls Video modules Messaging apps Email communication And how to know what to include and how MUCH of each deliverable is necessary for your client to experience a real transformation. And of course, we can’t forget the… SELLING THE OFFER BONUS: Real life examples of effectively selling the framework and deliverables from me & clients. By the end of today’s training you will know what you’re putting in your offer from beginning to end as well as how long

[DAY 1]: Create & Market Your Next Sold Out Offer Free Live Course
Woop Woop! Welcome to the Podcast version of my 3-Day Free Live Course: Create & Market Your Next Sold Out Offer. For the next three episodes you’ll get to listen to the video trainings for each day of this live course. Today is Day 1: All about getting clear on the TRANSFORMATION your offer provides and creating messaging to match it. You HAVE to create your offer with your client in mind. I know that sounds like an obvious statement, but I’ve coached hundreds of people at this point, and you’d be surprised how often people forget this crucial point! Questions you’ll be able to confidently answer by the end of today’s podcast 1: What is your audience TRULY getting out of your offer & where does it fall within their journey? 2: What messaging points do you have to touch on for them to truly understand the VALUE of your offer, which peaks their interest to apply? 3: We’ll touch on the current climate in the economy & how you can brainstorm some lower ticket down-sell options for people who aren’t financially ready to invest in your bigger transformative offer. And then we’ll close it up with… SELLING THE OFFER BONUS where I’ll share real life examples of effectively selling the transformation from me & clients. This is probably the most important day because you could have the best price and the most clear deliverables in your offer and STILL not sell it the way you want to…IF this part is off. The transformation MUST match what the client is wanting and what YOU can deliver on. But not to fret my friend, we got you. →Want your offer audited and personal feedback on your homework?

(HEART TO HEART) Your Motivation to Make $$
What else is new, I’m admitting an embarrassing truth on this Heart to Heart episode… There was a point in my business where my motivation to make more $$ was to impress other coaches on Instagram. WOOF. And hey, you know the old saying “whatever gets ya going?” The thing is…I was already going. I didn’t need to ‘get going.’ But pretty quickly my sole purpose was to beat myself so I could “shine on Instagram” and have the baddest numbers, proving I was the best…right? 🙄 I dive DEEP into it in this episode, but let’s just say…that motivation quickly became toxic, not sustainable, and deeply contributed to my marriage going downhill. We talk through how to keep your motivation to build wealth connected to a deeper purpose so it fuels you during really tough entrepreneurial seasons and doesn’t leave you trapped, playing the comparison game. I give you some great questions to really mull over, which I hope will reset your motivations and help you make more $$ than you ever thought possible.

Evergreen vs Open/Close Cart: $350K from going evergreen
To evergreen or not…THAT is the question! Earlier this year I went ‘evergreen’ with my group program, and recently turned my new mastermind evergreen (something I’ve never done before with a high ticket program). I am LOVING it and in this episode I share WHY I decided to go evergreen with these two programs, what I had to adjust to make it work for the client, and how my SELLING strategies are a bit different because of this change in format. Whether you decide to go evergreen or not, or stay in an open/close cart, I have no doubt this episode will shine some light on all the different options you have to run your business. There is no ONE way, and my hope is that you’ll really leave this episode believing that fully.

I kick it off talking about how my Instagram grew back in the day and how different it is today. I help you really take a good look at how you’re using that app and how much weight you’re giving it. Then we veer off and talk a bit about judgments from family when it comes to your business and sticking to routines that keep you sane while traveling. I’ve been visiting family in New York for 3.5 weeks and have had to have some routines I can use to anchor me in, otherwise I would’ve gotten NOTHING done and felt So off kilter when I got back to Vegas!

How to Create Offers You Can Step Away From (No More Burnout)
Have you ever heard of entrepreneur burnout? It's the reason so many business owners end up quitting their businesses and going back to their nine-to-five jobs. It's the reason so many of us end up feeling chained to our desks, unable to peel ourselves away from our phones long enough to remember that the entire reason we decided to start our own business was to find a way to give ourselves more time to enjoy life, not less. The problem with entrepreneurship is the sense of responsibility that comes with it. If your clients message you late at night or on the weekend, you can answer them, so why wouldn't you? Normal business hours are a thing of the nine-to-five, right? You can be available. You can be helpful. And if they've trusted you with their business, it's easy to feel like you owe them that availability. Guess what? You don't. And I'll go one step further—you shouldn't offer it. Why? Because you will end up burning out to the point that you aren't able to effectively help anyone. But if you've already structured your offer to include that kind of availability, how do you figure out a way to step back without breaking your promises? I'm here to help you figure this out. Let's talk about building out offers to allow yourself that step back that you truly need to take.

Making Your Messaging More Tangible: How to Sell ‘Vague’ Transformations Powerfully
It can be frustrating when you’re a coach trying to emphatically explain what your program can do for a potential client, and all you can come up with are vague promises that mean something different to everyone. "You'll be happier." "You'll have healthier relationships." "You'll have a better relationship with food." All of these things sound great, but there's just one problem: what do they actually mean? There are ways to make your messaging more tangible and start providing results people can understand, and we’re diving into it in this episode. Let's jump right into how you can sell "vague" transformations more powerfully! Thanks for listening in, and as always, stay safe, stay healthy, and stay #PrettyAwkward!

Time to Close the Laptop: Taking a Break Without Shame
Update: the idea of nonstop hustle is a total scam. We are not machines, friends, and it's time we stop treating ourselves like one! When we're deep in that entrepreneur life, it not only becomes easy to forget to take a break...it becomes easy to forget HOW to take a break. When our business goes everywhere with us, it can be such a slippery slope to losing that healthy separation between life and work. After all, we're our own bosses—we're approving our own time-off requests, and when your business isn't contained to a desk or an office, it becomes so easy to say, "Well, I'll just take an hour in the morning to work..." or "I'll just answer this message real fast, then I'll be able to relax..." or "It's just ONE CALL..." That's not a break, friends. That's just working somewhere else. It's time to get intentional about learning to take breaks...and how to do it without that all-consuming productivity guilt.

Making Decisions with Your Heart, Not Your Head: An Honest Chat About Passion over Profit
I'm going to keep on riding the heart-to-heart train today, friends. It feels good, it feels right, and I've got some things to get off my chest. Today's episode is all about following your heart. We've gotten so used to hearing that phrase from life coaches, Disney movies, and all other sources of "inspiration" that it's almost lost all meaning by now. But what does it really look like to follow your heart, especially in business, when you're so often told that business is the one thing you need to use your head for over your heart? Today, I'm sharing a recent endeavor where I chose to follow my head over my heart. And even though it went well and I was happy with the results, I have some regrets about doing it instead of taking the risk and doing the thing I REALLY wanted to do. Ready for a frank discussion about ability versus passion, what it means to "follow your nudges," and for me to say "honestly" about forty million times?

Life, Business, Home: All the Things That Have Changed Since 2020
Everyone has a quarantine story to tell. When everything shut down in 2020, we all found ourselves in different circumstances. Some of us had great experiences; others really struggled. For me, it was a definite mix of both. I was separated from my husband, drinking two glasses of wine—okay, fine, THREE glasses of wine—a day to cope, and I didn't even have my sweet puppy to snuggle. That was capital R rough. But I also got some really precious bonding time with my mom, got some much-needed reflection time with myself, and took plenty of long, romantic walks—with myself—to the beach. But life didn't stop at quarantine, and the timeline of change since has been utterly mind-boggling. We've talked a lot about throwing away the common idea of a timeline, but life since COVID has truly taught me that lesson all over again. So today, I'm sharing my COVID story. No holding back; just a heart-to-heart that I need to share. And if I need to share it, then I'm sure at least one of you needs to hear it.

Downsell vs. Upsell: How to Secure a Lifetime Client
It can be #PrettyAwkward when someone rejects your offer... But this doesn't have to be the end! Today I'm going to talk about building an offer suite: what it is, why it matters, and how it can take a client who might have otherwise walked away and turn them into a lifetime client for you. Every customer is on a journey, and most journeys don't only consist of one step. Not only that, but not all clients start on the same step! So if you only have one offer for them, you could potentially lose out on a lot of clients who would have gained so much by working with you. But if you set up the steps of their journey for them, allowing them to step in wherever is best for them, you create the potential for that client to keep coming back for more.

Kick in the Ass: Why You Need to Quit the Comparison Game
Turn up your volume and brace yourself, friends—today's episode is going to be different! I recorded this episode using my phone's voice memo app while I was driving back from San Diego, so the audio quality is a little wonky, not gonna lie. But I promise you, it's 100% worth the listen. I could have waited to record until I got back from my road trip, but why wait when you're in the zone and ready to go? This podcast is all about keeping it real, and this is the realest it gets: talking over motorcycles on the freeway, trying not to speed, and getting my thoughts out as they're coming to me. On this road trip episode, I'll be discussing: -Business-related FOMO -How comparison will be the death of your peace -How there is no "right" timeline to hit your goals This is a straight-from-the-heart, stream-of-consciousness kick in the ass that you're going to want to bookmark to listen to whenever you need a reminder that everyone's timeline is different, and that's okay.

In today's episode, we're going to go on a little journey together. It's so much easier to focus on the negative over the positive. All the goals we haven't accomplished. All the milestones we haven't hit. All the deadlines we missed. All the great ideas that didn't come to fruition. But it can be a lot harder to focus on what we have done. All the ways we have grown. All the things we did accomplish. Today, I'm going to teach you my favorite method for re-centering myself, forcing myself to be present at this moment, and reminding myself to focus on the good instead of the bad.

$108K IN A VERY DIFF WAY: Breaking down the changes I made for my latest launch to match the lifestyle I wanted to have
Today I’m talking about something I have been looking forward to for a long time. I really trusted my gut and I launched in a completely different way than I usually do. I technically have had larger profit launches, but I am so excited about the way we launched AND the way I’ve structured this particular offer. I really do enjoy live launching, but it got to the point where it was just exhausting doing it ALL THE TIME in one specific way…so I knew that I had to change up my strategy. For my launch, I decided to lean into the areas I enjoy including- Podcasting- creating offer-specific episodes Lives- showing up honestly and talking about the offer Emails- writing emails that highlight the mastermind and provide value I also utilized face-to-camera videos in Instagram stories to build that level of trust with my audience. Another tactic I used was private invites. And this is where I almost went back and changed my offer. I second-guessed what I was offering but I really leaned into what felt right with my level of energy available for my clients. If you’re interested in alllllll the details of how different I approached this last launch, listen to the full episode now!

(HEART TO HEART): Alcohol, Productivity Pressure, & Allowing Yourself to Rest
Today's Heart to Heart episode goes deep into something personal to me and I'm excited to share my thoughts. Alcohol has become such a social activity, an escape and so deeply ingrained in our culture, that it's hard to imagine being completely alcohol-free. I went completely alcohol-free for 4 months this year and it was a really interesting experience. I didn't expect much, because I wasn't drinking that often before…but it was a big enough difference that I really noticed. The fogginess was gone, my sleep was deeper and more refreshing and I just felt better as a whole. I talk about my journey to introducing it again and how I'm feeling now about the whole process. I'm also going to talk about the pressure to be productive and how I try to manage and preserve my energy in healthy ways. This is something I talk about a lot with my students. The temptation to work constantly and burn yourself out is there. It's important to take a hard look at what productivity really is and how you can accomplish the important things without losing too much energy in the process. Rest is a super powerful part of the equation and we'll cover how I approach it as well. I’m so glad you tuned in today and as always, stay safe, stay healthy, and stay #PrettyAwkward!

It’s time for another heart-to-heart Friday! And this time my husband Mike is joining me to talk about working together with your spouse on a personal growth journey. When you’re putting in the work to become a higher level of yourself, most of the time you want to share that growth and new information with your spouse. We’ve learned from experience that some ways work better than others, so we’re talking about what worked for us and our relationship to help us grow together. Today we’re covering- How you can walk the walk and talk the talk with your own growth journey The power of good communication with your spouse Ditch the timeline you have in your head and let things happen in their own time It can be really hard to open up and for your spouse to do the same, especially when sharing deep feelings. Making an effort to put time and energy into your relationship will always be time well spent though. I’m so glad you tuned in today and as always, stay safe, stay healthy, and stay #PrettyAwkward!

A Simple Method To 2x Your Income By Turning Your Signature Offer Into Multiple Programs
Doubling your income, you say? Sounds great, until you think about all the time and energy it’ll take. Especially if you’re working as a coach, there’s only so much of you to go around. And I say that as someone who loves coaching and believes it to be my literal purpose. But when your job is to give of yourself all day, it can take its toll. The amount of empathy, understanding, and guidance it takes to lead someone on a journey to wellness, be that physical, financial, or mental, is vast and also, finite. At some point, you only have so much energy to dedicate to your clients when you’re working with them in a one-on-one space. That’s why we’ll talk more in this episode about: How to gauge if you’re ready for multiple offers What those offers can look like How to develop them without reinventing the wheel Figuring out ways you can lean into whatever is leading people to you and results is key in finding other things to offer. It’s figuring out what you’re already great at, throwing in a little snippet of your larger OG program, and adjusting the format to be for a group or self-led. It’s taking the framework but changing the picture so that the results are the same, just with a different look. I hope that this episode opens your eyes to what you’re completely entitled to as a person and business owner. I also hope that it assists you in building your business and structuring your offer in the way that works best for you. And finally, as always, stay safe, stay healthy, and stay #PrettyAwkward!

When Sh&t Hits The Fan: How to Manage Business During a Heavy Week
Ready for a heavy heart-to-heart this Friday? In the interest of being completely open and vulnerable with you (aka the point of these episodes) I’ll start off by admitting that the past week was straight up not a good time for me. It got me thinking about how to keep going (or maybe not) with your business when you’re in it. You know it right? Nothing goes right, everything feels hard, and lest we forget there seems to be almost daily reminders that the world at large is on fire. It can feel so overwhelming and so disorienting that sometimes the answer is to stop. Take a break. That’s why on this episode I go more into: The week from hell I’ve had and how it affected my work How to prioritize yourself and not feel bad about it I think a lot of us who have our own businesses reached a point of success because we are determined and focused. This is great most of the time, but it can also mean that we have a hard time realizing we don’t just need to keep going to get through it. Sometimes we really do have to tread lightly and rest without feeling guilty or lazy about it. Let’s talk about how I know I’ve reached that point, and what I do about it.

Scale Your Business with Ease Through Group Coaching Programs
I know that people can be really averse to the idea of group coaching, and I was that way at one point, too! But if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that scaling your business is WAY easier with group coaching than it could ever be with 1:1 coaching alone. That’s what I’m diving into on this episode. Here, I’ll talk all things group coaching, going into details on why you should pursue it, how I built my own group coaching programs, boundaries you can set within these programs, and what all the essentials are to the framework. There’s a lot of knowledge here, so don’t miss out! Here are the topics I touch upon on this episode: Why Have a Group Program? My Journey with Group Coaching The Framework of my Group Coaching Group Coaching Boundaries to Instill Group Coaching Essentials There’s so much potential to make an impact with group coaching WHILE effectively scaling your business and saving yourself a lot of time and energy. 1:1 coaching is amazing and so rewarding, but doing too much of it can cause overwhelm and - remember - everyone has limited time and energy. Group coaching is a great way to honor your own resources. And finally, as always, stay safe, stay healthy, and stay #PrettyAwkward!

Being an Alcohol-Free Badass with Life Coach Karolina Rzadkowolska
Have you ever considered how your world would be affected if you took a break from drinking alcohol? You don’t have to have a substance abuse issue to experience positive effects from giving it up, even for a short amount of time. This is what life coach Karolina Rzadkowolska and I discuss on this episode of the podcast. As someone who gave up alcohol four years ago and never looked back, she has tons of insight to drop on the topic. Karolina never had a drinking problem, but she recognizes that her relationship with it was pretty complex. After giving dry January a try, she realized all the negative effects of drinking that she was suffering. From there, she took another break from drinking and ended up where she is now! Here are the topics she and I chat about on this episode: Karolina’s Journey with Alcohol She’s Not Alone in Her Feelings Towards Alcohol Karolina’s Unique Philosophy How to Take a Break from Alcohol for Business & Creativity Karolina’s Book: Euphoric This conversation was a departure from what we typically discuss on the #PrettyAwkward pod, but nonetheless, it was really eye-opening! I hope that it has made you consider your own relationship with alcohol and whether you could try experimenting with a break from it to see how it pans out.

What Does It Mean To Give Value and How Much of It Should You Be Giving?
In this episode of the #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I’m talking about how to give value to your audience. I get asked about this all the time in my business coaching practice. Giving value is a critical topic because it’s essential for your sales. No one is going to want to buy from you if they’re not getting value from you.

Today, I want to show you different ways to give your audience value and how you can use them in a way that aligns with your own uniqueness! Points we’ll discuss include: What giving value really means Ways to give value How you can evaluate your content and start giving more value When it comes to giving value, don’t limit yourself! You are a whole person, and your audience wants to see that. They may need different things from you at different times too, so keep that in mind as you seek to serve them with your content. Above all, remember that you have so much knowledge, expertise, and personality to give. ALL of that is valuable. And finally, as always, stay safe, stay healthy, and stay #PrettyAwkward!

The 4 Things That Helped Me Scale to Seven-Figures (and How You Can Too!)
In episode 101 of The #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I’m sharing with you the four tools I used to scale my business to seven figures. Now listen: I’m not going to lie to you and pretend that any of these tools are life-changing “hacks” that will completely change your business overnight. There’s no one right thing that will magically get you to seven figures. I built up my business over several years with dedication and consistency. But I firmly believe that if you use and implement these tools over time, you’ll see powerful results in your business too. The tools I discuss include: Defining my unique coaching method Being curious about my audience Making my business an expression of myself Really listening to my audience For me, building a seven-figure business wasn’t about numbers or finding the “right” strategy. It was about making connections with people and relating to people on a human level. I connect to my clients by being my true self. I encourage you not to worry about finding the perfect “hack” that will make your business succeed. Instead, focus more on genuine connection.

Join the Get More Clients Free Challenge starting on 4/26: https://meganyelaney.com/challenge/ In the episode, we talk about: The background of our relationship Why we decided to separate How we came back together and what life is like now It feels kind of vulnerable to share this, but I know that so many people are going through the same thing. We want people to know that separation does NOT have to mean the end of your relationship. We separated because we wanted to grow and heal separately, and that’s exactly what we did. Sometimes it’s the healthiest thing you can do for your relationship. If you’re going through something similar now, we encourage you to seek out whatever path is healthiest for you. Be sure to listen to episode 99 for all the details! Finally, as always, stay safe, stay healthy, and stay #PrettyAwkward!

Your Unique Method for Your Business & Why It's Important
This week on the #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I am sharing my perspective and opinion as to why you need to have your own unique method for business. I also want to dive into why it’s so important that you don’t follow everyone else’s path and do what everyone else is doing. The topics I will be discussing into include: The coaching industry is in the middle of a big shift and awakening. What actually makes a leader (psst … it's not a big following). Some of the emerging leaders that I’ve seen in the industry. If you want to become a leader in your industry, then I encourage you to take a look at the points we covered today. Start journaling and take action. Everything you do won’t necessarily be reflected in your work right away, it does take time. We have to stop rushing everything, but we have to start. Be sure to tune in to episode 74 and listen in to hear more about your unique method for business and why it’s important! As always, stay safe, stay healthy and stay #PrettyAwkward!

Top 3 Mistakes Coaches Make When Trying to Get Clients
Why do you want more clients? Everyone’s answer will be slightly different, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say A LOT of you will resonate with this… --->To build long-lasting sustainable WEALTH so you can have FREEDOM to live life on your terms, give back the way you want, and support causes & missions you believe in. I get GOOSEBUMPS reading that. Is that WORTH putting in the work? If it’s not, then I urge you to re-think your WHY. WHY are you doing this? WHY are you a coach? WHY do you want to sign soulmate (not just any) clients? WHY do you want to build wealth? Now while I don’t like taking the "fearful" approach when trying to get a point across, sometimes it’s necessary to really make a point ;) So let’s look at the top 3 crucial MISTAKES online coaches make when trying to get clients so you can avoid them. Not having a strategy or launch plan Sales call mistakes -> only speaking to the stuff they get, not the transformation they will experience Trying to do it all alone Until I implemented these points above, my dream to build an insanely profitable and impactful online biz (that truly represented ME as a human) just stayed in my head. And that doesn’t help ANYONE, now does it?! P.S. If you jump in early and reserve your spot for Client Attraction Academy before Sunday, October 18th at 11:59PM EST the end of the day you’ll not only get all the epic bonuses but also an exclusive Copywriting bonus from my personal copywriter, Lauren Zink, called Copy Spells (worth over $1000!)

Let's Sell Some Sh*t and Stand Out
SALES IS BEAUTIFUL. Sales is TRANSFORMATIVE. Sales literally equals you changing lives. IF you’re a rockstar coach (which you are), and deliver on what you promise (which you will). Sales does NOT have to make you feel like you’re a 1980’s car salesman. If you’ve truly followed along and applied what we mapped out over these past few days, that’s clear as day, as you’re probably already having great conversations with potential soulmate clients. When we approach our sales conversations and sales calls from a "client transformation" perspective vs "I have to make money or make this sale" perspective, guess what? WE CLOSE MORE SALES & SIGN MORE CLIENTS:) Funny how that works, huh? So in today’s live I’m going to break down the sales process I teach in depth in my Client Attraction Academy program, AND give you some goodies to have at the ready for your next sales call that will be THE DIFFERENCE maker for… SIGNING the client and TRULY communicating the value of your program (and why it’s THE ONE) for them Oh and… Feeling confident AF and so secure in the fact that you truly are on this call to listen, make them feel heard and cared for (THE secret), and fall in love with sales. To cut it short---this process makes you feel REALLY GOOD when selling. It makes the CUSTOMER feel really good. A whole lotta goodness :) P.S. Here are the Day 4 worksheets to use for the challenge to take notes/keep track of your homework.

Kick Ass Call to Action Content Based on Your Unique Coaching Method
Why is identifying your unique coaching method + signature standout SOO crucial when writing content? Because THIS is how your ideal client will truly GET EXCITED about your coaching style. We want to make it crystal clear what they’re going to feel like when inside your coaching container. The worst thing that could happen is that you market your coaching purely to “get them in,” and then your actual coaching style is completely different. Sounds obvious, but I’ve unfortunately seen this done A LOT. And ZERO shame if you have found yourself doing this. I, myself, have fallen prey to this when I started my business online. I just copied what other successful coaches were doing. You see success, you follow success, right? Well, if you’re emulating something that is completely opposite from how you actually coach and what you’re confident in, you MIGHT get them in the door, but you won’t keep them, re-sign them or help them truly transform. In today’s live training I’m going to break down a few of my posts that REALLY resonated with my audience and resulted in paying clients. I’ll walk you step by step through the thought process behind the post, and WHY (the psychology) this specifically resonated with my ideal client and resulted in sales. <a href= "https://meganyelaney.acemlnb.com/lt.php?s=b36c6c3f48ce5021a5528b1019f88c52&i=1025A1181A70A4364" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://meganyelaney.acemlnb.com/lt.php?s%3Db3

Signature Standout & Market Research Based on Your Unique Coaching Method
Let’s dive in shall we Cuz today is where it gets REAL JUICY Part 1: Signature Standout (This is where the FUN begins) Now that you’re more clear on which type of coach you generally fall into and who you want to help, we want to start to develop your signature standout. This will be a combination of who you are as a person/coach and how that resonates with a 100% soulmate client. The truth of it is, if you’re doing high level, high touch coaching, you’re going to be spending a ton of time with your clients. And if you’re spending a ton of time with ANYONE, you want to like them right? Heck, I even will venture to say you want to LOVE them. THAT’S the difference between not identifying your unique coaching method and signature standout and, well, identifying it --->Without it=clients --->WITH it= SOULMATE clients who you’re obsessed with (who pay you more, re-sign AND refer you out). <span class= "d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql oi732d6d ik7dh3pa fgxwclzu jq

My Six-Step Sales Process to Super Simple Selling Like a Human
This week on the #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I’m walking you through my six-step sales process that is super simple. I also love this process because it makes you feel human and it’s not robotic in any aspect. The six-step process I will be diving into involves the following: Set the agenda, and incorporate small talk. Ask permission to invite at the end and evaluate. Ask them about their strengths and obstacles. Provide a prescription, create accountability, and invite. This system helped me make roughly 1.5 million in sales in under 2 years, it works. This is the template through everything and helps you write content that cares about the human at the end of the day. That’s what’s missing from a lot of sales, the human element of listening to people. So go be a human! Be sure to tune in to episode 68 and listen in to hear more about my six-step sales process to super simple selling like a human! As always, stay safe, stay healthy and stay #PrettyAwkward!

Understanding SEO Without Making It Complicated with Lauren Taylar
This week on the #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I’m chatting with Lauren Taylar, an SEO expert. We are diving into the importance of having a searchable business, meaning a blog, youtube, or a podcast. We are also debunking a lot of SEO myths and you will realize that SEO is not as complicated or overwhelming as you think! Some topics Lauren and I will be dividing into include: A lot of entrepreneurs think a blog post has to be completely different from social media, but you can take that existing content and repurpose it into a blog post. Debunking the myth that you need WordPress and the Yoast plug-in to rank high in Google. Using long-tailed keywords versus short 1-2 words can make a total difference in terms of visibility. Instagram and Facebook are borrowed platforms. If they go down, and you’ve built your entire business around them, you’re screwed. I know SEO can be seen as a super overwhelming topic but it doesn’t have to be. I hope this episode brings you tremendous value and gets you thinking about alternatives if you depend on Instagram or Facebook for your business.

Finding the right VA or the right OBM can be difficult, but I can honestly say one of my biggest business regrets is not finding Hayleigh sooner. Some topics Hayleigh and I will be diving into include: Hayleigh’s story of becoming my OBM and what to look for when hiring one (hint: references are KING!) The importance of creating open communication with your team and the value of having an OBM to learn on for support. How my Six Figure Level Mastermind can help you hire the right VA and level-up your business! Why it’s key to focus on growth, set realistic timelines for your team and establish clear systems and processes in your biz. Without Hayleigh and her team, so many different projects and products from Megan Yelaney Inc. wouldn’t even exist, so I feel immensely fortunate to have them. So if you’ve never hired a VA or an OBM, please tune in to episode 53 on your fave streaming platform. After you listen, I’m certain you’ll have ALL the info and inspo you need to find the right team for you and the growth of your business! As always, stay safe, stay healthy and stay #PrettyAwkward!

This week on the #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I’m chatting with Emily Dorrien Flynn - a very good friend of mine and an AMAZING holistic health coach - about how experiencing challenges can actually help with finding your purpose and achieving your long-term goals. Although we often think of challenges as roadblocks to success, they can be key components to finding your purpose in life! Some topics Emily and I will be diving into include: Emily’s journey to working as a holistic health coach and why she’s now grateful for her struggles with fibromyalgia and chronic pain Why you should start seeing obstacles as opportunities and stop focusing SO much on a set monetary goal for your biz. Questions to help you learn from every experience and the importance of not trying to do EVERYTHING on your own. I respect the hell out of Emily for not only all she has been through but also for all of the wisdom, knowledge and guidance she has to share. So if you’re going through a hard time or if you face an obstacle in the near future, I hope you remember the advice Emily gives in this episode about emerging from challenges stronger, smarter and more intentional about living out of your life’s purpose.

Putting Diversity In Business into Practice with Aleise Kay
This week on the #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I’m chatting with Business Mentor and Copywriter Aleise Kay about how you can implement true diversity and inclusion in your business moving forward. It’s easy to say that you want diversity in business, but it’s much harder to put it into actual practice, so I know this open and honest conversation with Aleise will be instrumental in helping guide your way. Some topics Aleise and I will be diving into include: Aleise’s coaching and copywriting story, and the importance of writing copy that is genuine instead of what you think you “should” say Questions to keep in mind if you say you want a diverse business The importance of being intentional with your words, owning your mistakes and committing yourself to long-term learning and effort What Aleise has learned from this past week and what to keep in mind if you’re wanting to diversify your connections It’s not enough to say you have a diverse business, that you support diversity or that you have some Black or non-White students. Instead, you have to intentionally work to create a business that represents diversity...and that means building authentic relationships with people of all backgrounds and colors, being aware of your wording and so much more! So to hear Aleise’s and my thoughts on what it really takes to create a diverse and inclusive business, tune in to episode 51 on your favorite podcasting platform. And know that as challenging as things feel right now, I’m so excited to see the light and change that can emerge from it...in us and our businesses!

Defining Your Ideal Client and Their Needs in a Time of Uncertainty
“ … community is hands down, going to be the biggest thing that people need right now, especially when people are at home and can't be social, can't go out … ” This week on the #PrettyAwkward Entrepreneur Podcast, I will be sharing the takeaways from a mastermind call I facilitated with my current and past mastermind clients regarding defining your ideal client and their needs during this time.

Do I only produce free content? Do I implement extended payment plans? My personal response to all of this has been to continue to charge for your services. You are only discounting your worth as a coach and the transformation for your client, by giving away your services for a discount or for free. Other topics we discuss in this episode include: Your mindset as a business owner & is it insensitive to sell How you can make this time innovative & fun for the future of your business Content creation & connecting with the emotion during this time I hope this episode has given you some tools to continue to show up and run your online business during this uncertain time.

Focusing on your bigger message and mission, because that is going to keep you going in the months that don’t go as well as you planned. Jonnie’s mission has always been to improve the health of our society by treating the whole person realistically, but she realized she can have a bigger impact by creating mission driven leadership in coaching others to confidently run their own health business.

EP 18: Rachel Spencer: Stepping into an Abundant Mindset to Become an Authority in Your Niche
Welcome to Episode 18! In this episode I’m joined by a fellow actor-turned-business coach, Rachel Spencer. In this amazing episode we had so much fun chatting about business, theatre and putting your most confident self out there to be an authority in your field.
