    Finding a profitable niche with Martina Morton of Grow CPA

    We dance around it but t’s time to have the MONEY talk. No matter who you are, no matter whether you flunked your math class, you can absolutely get clarity and control over your finances, and you can have both the impact and the income that you really truly desire as an entrepreneur. That was the key takeaway I had from my conversation with Chartered Professional Accountant and co-founder of Grow CPA, Martina Morton.

    In this episode of Permission to Leap we talk about:
    - Martina’s big leap out of the corporate hustle
    - What got Martina and her business partner crazy visibility and published in a national magazine
    - How you can take a truthful look at your money story

    [BONUS] Business Planning for Creative Entrepreneurs

    [BONUS] Business Planning for Creative Entrepreneurs

    Because we don't like to be put in BOXES! In this episode, I got through the FOUR steps you need to take as a creative entrepreneur to build your year's business plan.
    December is a GREAT month to do this and it shouldn't take you longer than a few hours using this method.

    And not surprisingly, I flip the script on what is typically taught.

    Here I share how I've doubled my business' REVENUE every year for the last four years using this exact process.

    And it goes like this. Revenue -> Profit -> Spending -> Sales -> Content/Marketing

    Planning for a long term goal with Lisa Rose Snow

    Planning for a long term goal with Lisa Rose Snow

    Dream big. And take small actions to make it real. That was the key takeaway I had from my conversation with Film Director Lisa Rose Snow.

    In this episode of Permission to Leap we talk about:

    - the challenges of not knowing 'how' to do things the right way
    - what it's like to be a creative entrepreneur and placing value on that
    - 'falling forward' and allowing your business to unfold with trust

    [BONUS] The cost of a coach and how to hire a good one

    [BONUS] The cost of a coach and how to hire a good one

    Should you hire a coach for your business? What can you expect from a coach and how do you know if you're going to get your money's worth? 

    In this episode, I share without selling - yes - just straight up giving you a real sense of: 
    - what it costs to join a coaching program
    - the types of coaches and how they can help you with the different needs in your business
    - the theory of investing with both your intuition and your rational beliefs (because sometimes not buying a program isn't a money block, it actually is a good business decision!) 

    Normally a bonus episode, I'm dropping this one for all to hear because it's THAT important to me. Meantime, you can support the show and join the Collective for $10/month at

Chrissy Hollis ,

Valuable use of my time

Permission to Leap is a to the point podcast full of wisdom, easy to implement guidance for those who want to grow their business aligned with who they are. It’s a valuable use of my time. Thanks Erin!

InquisitiveGardener ,

I LEAPED because of this podcast!!!

Erin’s encouragement and support over the past many months has been amazing!! I was poised to really launch my business earlier this year and for a few reasons, I held back... until I listened to this podcast!!! Enough of trying to make everything perfect before launching and just following my passion, after listening to only two episodes, I gave myself permission to LEAP!!

lizzie wedsworth ,

Everything you say is perfect

Every feeling and experience you express makes me feel more validated than before about my insecurities in business. I’ve found so much to learn from in these episodes. Thank you!
