In this final episode of the BizChix podcast, I have exciting news to share. 
While this marks the end of the BizChix podcast after 124 months and 627 episodes, I'm thrilled to announce a new venture: The Biz of Nonprofit Consultants podcast, launching today. 
This new podcast is dedicated to consultants who serve nonprofit clients, a project I've been developing since November 2023. 
I'm also shifting my group coaching program and mastermind to exclusively support nonprofit consultants starting in August 2024.
These program changes happened more rapidly than I expected and have involved immense mindset work and mindset shifts in the last 6 weeks.
In this final BizChix episode, I share about the incredible experiences I have had over the last 10+ years, how this podcast, connecting with you and working with you has changed my life.
I’m especially grateful to Elizabeth Cook who has joined me more times than I can count as a co-host of the podcast and who has been an incredible coach alongside me in my programs.
This new podcast (and many other ideas I have had over the years) would not come to life without Tiffanie Smith who literally burned the midnight oil to make this all happen. Thank you so much T!
Of course I couldn’t leave without sharing SIX business lessons that I hope will help as you continue to build your service business.
🙏Thank you for being part of this incredible journey! 
It has been the biggest honor to be part of your life.
💛Natalie

One of the most painful places to be in business is when you have lost all forward momentum. 
You look at your pipeline for clients and it is empty. 
This is especially challenging to navigate after you lose an important client, several proposals get rejected or it feels like everyone is 👻 ghosting you.
Where do you even start?
And what can you do to mitigate ever getting into this situation in the first place?
Today, I share a training from our Six Figures Lab group coaching program, where I cover the ways I observe business owners LOSING momentum, and several ways to GAIN momentum.

The most common area new clients rank as needing 🔥 urgent help with is marketing. 
They report they aren’t doing enough marketing. 
They don’t have a real plan.
Or their current marketing plan isn’t working. 
🧐 But, 9 times out of 10, they DON’T have a marketing problem. 
In today’s episode, Elizabeth Cook, coaches with me in our Six Figures Lab group coaching program, and I discuss why “marketing” may not be the issue and what the real problem could be. 
Also, Elizabeth pulls an actual formula for you to use that I didn’t even know was in my brain!
