    595: Money Trauma vs. Money Mindset

    Trauma. 
    Most people have some amount of trauma. 
    What most people don’t realize though is that you can have trauma related to and involving money. 
    Yes, money. That thing we use everyday to buy our food, pay our rent, the stuff that keeps our lights on. . . Depending on your relationship with it, depending on your parents relationship with it, and even their parents’ relationship with it, money holds a lot of significance. 
    Today on the podcast, I share with you some insights around money trauma that I’ve learned while coaching women business owners over the years.

    594: [coaching] How She Can Go from Six Figures to Multi-Six Figures with Lisa Archer

    594: [coaching] How She Can Go from Six Figures to Multi-Six Figures with Lisa Archer

    What would it look like for your business to go to the next level? 
    On today’s episode, I chat with Lisa Archer, CEO of Vancouver-based LacroHR and current $ix Figures Lab member, as we map out her path to making multi-six figures. 
    👉 Connect with Lisa Archer on LinkedIn.
    Lisa came into the program already on the verge of making six figures but she struggled to see how she could get to the next level in her business. 
    In Lisa’s case, I suggest a two-pronged approach. First, narrowing down her positioning even more and then, hiring help in her business, allowing her to stay in her Zone of Genius. 
    By staying in your Zone of Genius and letting your natural talents shine, you are one step closer to building an enduring business that is enjoyable, profitable, and sustainable.

    592: How to Trust a Coach Again (after you have been burned)

    592: How to Trust a Coach Again (after you have been burned)

    The hardest thing to rebuild is trust. 
    For many clients, I am not the first coach they’ve had. 
    And more often than I’d like, I’ve heard other coaches and programs described as, “feeling like a waste of money,” or that the program was, “too big and you never got time with the lead coach.”   
    They have lost trust in the coaching community–and rightfully so. 
    Thankfully, not all coaches are the same. 
    Today, Elizabeth Cook, my co-coach in $ix Figures Lab, joins me as we talk about what to look for in a coaching program, the questions you should ask when looking at a new program, and how our $ix Figures Lab program differs from most other programs on the market.

    590: [coaching] When to Invest in Your Business with Non-Profit Consultant Kelly McLaughlin

    590: [coaching] When to Invest in Your Business with Non-Profit Consultant Kelly McLaughlin

    As a small business owner and a coach of small business owners, I know first hand how challenging growing and scaling your business can be. 
    Seemingly overnight, a ton of questions pop up as your company grows in size. Questions like, “When do I need to hire? When should I hire? How much help can I afford? What do I need help with first and foremost?” 
    $ix Figures Lab member, Kelly McLaughlin, a fundraising consultant for nonprofits, recently reached out to me asking me something similar but wonderfully phrased.
    “When do you know it’s a good idea to invest in your business?” 
    I love how she framed this idea of growth within a company as an investment, looking at it as a long term solution which will act as a stepping stone to something greater. 
    While I would love to say there is a one size fits all answer to this question, there is no secret formula. 
    It’s entirely dependent on your individual circumstances, on where you are, and where you eventually want to be.
    And remember, the beautiful thing about being a CEO is that you have a rare opportunity to create a business that is profitable, sustainable, and enjoyable.

Real-Life MBA

I have been enjoying Natalie's BizChix podcast since 2018, and it has been incredibly rewarding - like earning a real-life MBA! Each episode is packed with clear, practical advice that you can immediately put into action.

Natalie's warm and personal approach makes it seem as though she's speaking directly to you. Beyond just business advice, she also tackles mindset obstacles specifically faced by female entrepreneurs, which particularly resonated for me.

What sets this podcast apart is the information that’s based on time-proven strategies, rather than quick profits or fads.

Natalie's transparency and honesty are a breath of fresh air. She is open about her target audience and graciously shares her own business journey, which is incredibly inspiring.

I wholeheartedly recommend BizChix for women entrepreneurs at any stage of their journey. It's an invaluable resource, and I'm deeply grateful for Natalie's guidance!

All rounder

This podcast is so well rounded! Mindset, leadership, business strategies, all easily digestible and implementable. Even though I’m in a later stage of business, this podcast is still super valuable! Just listened to the episode about overdue invoices and this is an issue that occurs at every stage of business and loved the advice given. As a fellow podcast host, the quality of conversations here are top notch🔥
