Wasting time thinking about why you don’t want to fail?
“If you want to be successful, why are you wasting time thinking about how much you don't want to fail?” It was a simple question that changed how I approached business and life. Fear of failure is very powerful, but what’s more powerful is fear of success.
When I support my clients in their ability to achieve more in life, I ask them what's going through their mind that's preventing them from going after it, whether it’s talking to that attractive person, sending that email to a potential investor or even going to the gym. Among their responses is often, “Well, I don't know what to say" or “What if she doesn't like what I have to say?" People bombard themselves with “what ifs.”
I get it, all these scenarios could possibly happen, but the truth is they haven't yet. Nevertheless, the uncertainty around these “what ifs” takes away your courage and confidence to go and make that move, even knowing it could level up your business and life.
Let me explain why this happens and what you can do about it.

I’ve been doing this for 25+ years and I wanna’ quit
I gotta be honest with you. These last couple weeks have been TOUGH ones.
It was a couple of those weeks that we all have from time to time as entrepreneurs. Even after 25 years.
I ended up getting Covid a couple weeks ago and spending time quarantining to the bedroom for what seemed like an eternity. I had no energy to do any work and as I laid there all I could do was watch tv or think - which can be good and bad.
I wasn’t stressed about not being able to work, but the more time that I wasn’t working in my business the more my thinking started going south and I found myself thinking about getting a job.
Today I'm being very transparent about those feelings and what I did ...

Want to close more sales and bring on more clients?
You may have heard about different ways to overcome (objections) hesitations like ‘I can’t afford it’ or ‘I have to think about it’.
It’s actually rare that people truly can’t afford something. And ‘I have to think about it’ usually means ‘You’re asking me to make a decision and I don’t WANT to think about it now.’
There are 3 hidden reasons that sales hesitations happen and knowing these can make all the difference!

Simple 10 Step Plan for Growing Your Business
When it comes to building your business, do any of these sound familiar - (maybe they all do)?
“I’ve got to join as many Facebook groups related to my niche as I can.”
“But wait, is my niche narrow enough? Maybe it’s too narrow. Or maybe it’s too broad? I don’t know!”
“Ugh, I hate marketing. I just want to coach. But I know I have to, so I’ll hop on this Facebook Group, offer advice and see what happens.”
“Shoot. That’s not working. Maybe I’ll post some things on Instagram. I’ve got this great inspirational quote I can use.”
“Should I go on LinkedIn? Or maybe I should run some Facebook Ads. But those are so expensive and I have no idea what I’m doing.”
“I just want to help people and not have to do all this other stuff.”
The result of all of these thoughts?
Overwhelm. Confusion. Frustration. The powerful urge to clean out and organize your closet instead!
I’m guessing that if you’ve had at least a few of these thoughts, you’re ready for a new approach.
My friend, you can have a successful coaching business that supports you and everything you want in life.

How to take imperfect action
Have you ever been able to edit something before you've actually written a word?
Have you ever tried being more clear, or more thorough in your explanation without ever saying anything?
Or have you ever tried to make a system work without ever implementing a thing?
I know what you’re thinking … duh, Jill. That’s not possible.
Yet I see it all the time.
It's the story we tell ourselves about researching, about thinking, about preparing.
We think that with more research or more thinking we’ll be able to get it right. We think that reading or learning from experts is being productive when really, we learn by doing.
PERFECTIONISM WILL SLOW YOU DOWN. THE SOLUTION IS TO TAKE IMPERFECT ACTION.

Which is more precious ... Time or Money?
The time vs money debate is a hot one.
As I was preparing for this episode, my head was spinning from the articles I was reading. One standing firm in that time is limited and you only have 24 hours in a day, so it’s more precious than money.
Another standing firm that money is your most precious resource because it will buy you time and save you time on other things.
Funny thing though … I agree with both.

Want to work smarter, not harder?
Have you watched the movie The Founder with Michael Keaton?
It’s all about McDonald’s—the hundred billion dollar company that’s arguably responsible for systematizing the fast food industry.
The McDonald’s franchise works in a way that anyone can go in and implement their exact proven system, and they’ll have a high chance of succeeding. They can also hire almost anyone to work in any McDonald’s kitchen and following a systematic set of procedures, that person can produce the same food every time.
You don’t have to be McDonald’s or some other huge corporation to utilize systems.
A system is a set of processes, tools, people, and strategies that all work together to solve a problem or achieve a goal.
Seriously, it’s no secret systems and SOP's aren’t exactly the sexiest of business topics.
BUT if you are someone who doesn’t have those things in your business and had to learn the hard way how much your business really, really, really needs those things…

I'm Giving Up
Your business should support the life you want, not strain it, right?
And you shouldn’t have to give up what matters most to you in life to have a successful business, right?
But recently I realized that I actually did give up a lot to get where I am today, but not necessarily in the way you might think.
For you to be as successful as you want to be, there may need to be some things you’ll need to give up too.

Are you in entrepreneurial burnout?
I realize this is not the most sexy topic to talk about, but I think it really needs to be discussed.
These last few weeks I have been thinking a lot about the online space and pressures new entrepreneurs and solo entrepreneurs can feel to earn big bucks really fast. Social media posts are screaming to let them show you how you can make $100k in your first month just like they did. I’m always curious what the backstory is around these posts. Anyway …
These kinds of posts create pressures in the minds of new entrepreneurs and solo entrepreneurs because - yes - they need the money … and good grief who wouldn’t want to make $100k in your first month?
But, I think it's also because they want to prove to people that they’ve made it. They want to prove themselves in the industry and show that they are worth it and deserving of the 5,10,20,100k weeks/months, whatever.
Sometimes what we need is less than we think and we can still have an unbelievable lifestyle.

👋 Why I Quit Social Media
You may have seen my social media post last week on 2-2-22 where I made my last post for my business and said good-bye to social media, but I wanted to talk about it on this podcast as well.
I’m going to be transparent - like I always am - this was hard for me to do even though it wasn’t aligning with me.
As you know, anytime you shift and do things differently, your ego shows up and starts making you question yourself.
* What if you can’t get clients outside of social media? … I know I can because I have and I’ve built businesses long before social media was even around.
* Where are you going to find clients without social media? … There are over 150 different ways to find clients off social media and I’m pretty sure they’ll work because I’ve used them before.
Once I made the decision and hit the publish button, I had a wonderful sense of relief. I didn’t feel addicted anymore. I felt free, I felt back in charge of my business and the best part was…

So, what do you do? 😰
I see a lot of coaches struggle with the idea of choosing a niche and narrowing it down.
And I get it. It feels counterintuitive to focus on fewer community or audience members.
Seth Godin has written several books on effective marketing, including the importance of narrowing your niche.
I was reading an article he had written and I want to share an excerpt from that article:
He says that the Minimum Viable Audience - a term he coined - is the smallest group that could possibly sustain you in your work.
We usually think that we need to reach thousands or millions of people to have a profitable business. However, that will probably lead us to create an average product for average people.
If we really want to impact other people’s lives, we need to find our minimum viable audience.
When we create real value for other people is when we can have a profitable business.
Seth Godin also says to focus on the audience’s dreams, worldviews, and energy.

Crocheting + A Book List + Boundaries
The subject line of this episode is 'Crocheting + A Book List + Boundaries' and you're probably thinking - what the heck does this have to do with business? Well stick with me and I’ll show you …
When I first got into crocheting, it was really fun.
I'd find a project I wanted to work on, buy the yarn for it, and get to it.
Then, I started buying yarn without a plan of how to use it. I bought it because I liked the yarn.
Before I knew it, I had beautiful yarn coming out my ears with no plans for any of it.
At first, it felt amazing.
But after a while, it became a burden because I'd look at all the yarn and get overwhelmed. I had
W A Y too many choices.
This has happened to me a few times in the real world — mainly with books and other hobbies.
It's also happened in the digital world.
In fact, I started a trello list of all the books that I "want to read," and there is a ridiculous amount of books on the list. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of books I’ve a…

2 Common Mistakes That Keep Many Entrepreneurs From Making The Most Of Their Plans
Ever try to work on a Saturday?
My guess is it goes something like this...
You wake up.
You're excited because (normally) you don't get interrupted on Saturdays.
No emails to answer. No phone calls. No messages from your team. No planned meetings.
It's an awesome time to catch up or try to get ahead for the coming week (you can even hide from your family a bit).
But...
...when you sit down to actually start working, you think, "I've got three whole hours to get this done! I've got plenty of time!"
Next thing you know, you've checked your emails... you've watched a few cat videos on facebook... you've reorganized your pen cup... all while still thinking you have plenty of time.
And then you look up at the clock, and it's 2:45pm – and you haven't even started what you meant to get done that day.

8 Effective Ways To Be More Productive
The goal is to simplify so you can amplify, right?
But, we find ourselves scrambling to complete launch deadlines, wearing 17 different hats, answering a slew of emails, posting on social media… you get the point.
So, how do the most efficient people overcome challenges like:
* Procrastinating on tasks—both small, nagging ones and large, challenging ones
* Boring work that needs just to get done
* Responding to email and other messages while working
* Staying motivated and energized throughout the entire work day
* Focusing and finishing the most important projects on their plates
Today. I want to share 8 effective ways to help you be more productive.
Heads up though - Instead of trying to do all of these at once, find a couple that you can implement for at least 21 days (the time it typically takes to form a new habit). Then add another one.
