Chill & Prosper with Denise Duffield-Thomas Denise Duffield-Thomas

Are you a risk-taker? Do you wish you could embrace the “big risk, big reward” mentality? 
Maybe you love taking risks in search of new, exciting adventures.
This might sound familiar if you have a Maverick, Alchemist, or Ruler personality, and it will terrify the Accumulators out there.
But today, we’re talking about how to take risks in business without sabotage, wrecking your business, or burning out. 

Today on the podcast we have a fun “Ask Me Anything” episode that is packed with nuggets of wisdom.
I answer your questions about:
Managing work while taking extended travel or time-off 
Balancing your ambition and work ethic if your partner has a different personality 
Tips to start manifesting more money 
Overcoming anxiety when starting your business 
When to outsource or hire when scaling your business

You might not want to hear this, but there are key numbers in your business that you need to track and have a plan to grow. 
 
It’s possible to both love your people and want to grow your numbers quickly. 
 
Don’t be afraid to look at these numbers. The success of your offers, launches, and, in fact, your whole business is directly linked to the size of your audience. 
 
The truth is that the more people see your stuff, the more money you’ll make - it’s a numbers game, so it’s essential to get clear on where you’re at and have a target you want to grow to. 
 
On today’s podcast episode, I’m sharing how I grow my list and following.

We have such a joyful podcast episode today! It's all about failing businesses and tricky economic times. Urgh. 
 
But if you've been in scarcity, feeling fearful, or worried about failure, you'll feel better after listening. 
 
The feeling of uncertainty and concerns about the cost of living are real for a lot of us at the moment, so it's normal if you're feeling stressed.
 
It's also normal if you've noticed these feelings starting to have a knock-on effect on your business, but this doesn't have to be disastrous. 
 
If you've made a mistake or your anxiety is peaking (I've been there), then today's episode will help you.

Last year, I took my family to Europe for four months - hubby, three children, and my mom - and it was intense and magical in lots of ways. 
 
We were so lucky to spend time in the UK, seeing Mark’s family and traveling to places like Paris, Barcelona, and Lapland - I hope it was an unforgettable trip for the kids.
 
I tried not to work much on the trip, but so many experiences stood out while we were overseas I just knew I had to share them in a podcast episode.
 
So today, I’m diving into the business, marketing, and mindset lessons I got from my Europe trip.

Let’s talk about finding your people - the communities, coaches and business besties you need to thrive. 
 
This is one of my favorite topics because I love talking about my business besties and sharing their work. 
 
Which inevitably leads to questions like “How do I find more besties?” or “Which community should I join for XYZ?”
 
Having friends who understand your business and have similar experiences is so important. It will play a vital role in your success as an entrepreneur for four main reasons:
 
Support from someone with a shared experience who can offer empathy, compassion, and advice on overcoming business challenges.
Ideas and feedback on improving parts of your business or marketing.
Contacts and recommendations of great systems, contractors, or staff you’ll need along the way.
Opportunities to uplevel and network by opening doors to new audiences, stages, or events.
 
More than someone to vent or cry with, a business best friend can be invaluable for masterminding, partnering, and cheerleading. 
 
On today’s podcast, I share my tips on finding new business besties and the right coach to help you grow this year.
