Don't Rush Me Maria Spear Ollis

Changing your lifestyle and changing your rituals can actually result in a thriving business.
Just ask my guest today who, along her life journey, realized that a certain ritualistic habit was no longer serving her.
That habit was enjoying an alcoholic drink at the end of the day. And it was examining that habit that led Stephanie to open Nashville's first and ONLY booze-free beverage shop.
LISTEN IN AND LEARN-What it was that made Stephanie stop drinking alcohol;-How "Create the thing you wish existed" plays into how and why Stephanie launched her business, Killjoy;-Some of the biggest challenges she has faced in starting this business (and what's next for Stephanie!)
And be sure to look out for this week's holisti-somatic history lesson on: adaptogens. 🍄MORE ABOUT STEPHANIE
After growing up in Nashville and studying Psychology at MTSU, Stephanie moved overseas where she lived for 13 years while helping US Service Members get college degrees. During that time, she visited 53 countries, competed in the German roller derby championships, got her Master's degree in Human Relations, and went to India to get certified as a yoga teacher. After moving back to Nashville, hiking the whole Appalachian Trail, and working at Hands On Nashville for several years, she started her own business called Killjoy - Nashville's first and only booze-free beverage shop!

You know what I'm talking about... astrology.

LISTEN IN AND LEARN:
How to use astrology to pinpoint cycles of planting, cultivating, harvesting and resting;How to work with the energy in each of the days of the week (because each one is ruled by a planet!); andWhich aspects of your chart speak most to your business, work life, and aspirations.Plus, listen in for the holisti-somatic history lesson on cherry quartz. 🍒

Raise your hand (and I'm raising my hand already) if you're guilty of caving to FOMO-inducing marketing trends. Maybe you've felt one of these: 
Oh, I really need to do a membership; or
Oh, I need to create a course — even if it's a mini course! — because that's a good way to bring in money; or 
Everyone's on Tik Tok and I need to get on tick tock before it's too late! 
…It's that kind of before it's too late feeling that just makes you tighten all of your muscles, clench your jaw, and clench your fists. It's not an ease-filled way to approach marketing. 
My guest today, Maci, is all about a holistic approach to marketing. 
This means, instead of looking at marketing linked only to the end result (sales), looking at it through the lens of “Okay, what feels good to me? What feels most aligned for me?” 
Maybe you hate being on video. Maybe TikTok is your jam. 
Maybe you hate the idea of writing a weekly blog post. Maybe writing a second nature to you. 
Whatever it is. The end goal isn't just sales. The goal is finding the process and finding the things that grow your business. Things that grow your list, grow your income, but don't completely drain you or go against what feels natural and creative and fun to you.
That discovery process is what we’re talking about in this episode. 
Listen in and learn: 
Why looking at your metrics is a good start… but not the end-all be-all in marketing. The thing you should actually follow (instead of following FOMO-inducing trends)How the biggest challenge in your business can lay the groundwork for your marketing strategyPlus, listen in for the holisti-somatic history lesson on the Petoskey Stone 🪨

If you feel like you're finding that you're second guessing decisions that you make in your business, it might come down to asking yourself one question: Why?
Why am I nervous that someone isn't going to accept my proposal? Why did I discount that service? Why do I think this new client isn't going to sign?
WHY AM I SECOND-GUESSING MYSELF?
That's where my guest, Sara Ann Kelly, comes in.
In this episode, we're talking through:
