3 Ways To Build Up Your Entrepreneurial Resiliency
“We all start in business thinking we’re going to do what we love and it’s going to be great, but there’s so many other parts that we didn’t expect... We need to bounce back easy from these things.”
— Julie Greenham
If I were to ask you what you believe to be the #1 trait that you need in order to run your business effectively, what would you say?
Most people believe that “confidence” is the top trait of successful business owners. I happen to have a different opinion!
As business owners, we don’t often start off feeling confident. The early days of a start-up can be nerve wracking — and so can many of the days that we experience after years of running established businesses! Confidence is something that grows over time, so I don’t think it’s the most helpful way to frame success.
I think that the #1 trait that contributes to success is resiliency.
It’s resiliency, not confidence, that helps us keep going after setbacks, challenges, and even failures. Resiliency is what helps us turn mistakes into opportunities for growth. In this episode, I share 3 tips that will help you build your own resiliency in your business!
It all starts right now — just press play!

You're Not Selling Confidence, You're Selling RESULTS.
Is “confidence” a part of what you deliver to your clients through your offers? For example: the confidence to appear on camera, the confidence to lose weight, or the confidence to take the steps to grow and scale their businesses.
You may believe that confidence is a key part of your offers — that the boost in confidence is what your customers are looking for and paying for. You may believe that this should play a major role in your messaging and marketing. This is something that I believed for a long time, too.
But here’s the truth: confidence alone does NOT sell.
Being “confident” in something sounds wonderful, but it’s a very vague statement. Instead of talking about how confident someone will feel after working with you, you should instead be thinking about what they’ll be able to DO with that confidence!
Want to dig a little deeper? All you have to do is press play!
In this episode, you’ll discover:
My own journey of discovery regarding the importance of confidence when it comes to crafting my messagingHow to articulate the true value of your offers beyond the confidence your clients will achieve Why you need to dig deeper into what your customers TRULY want from your services

00:47 Giving people confidence
01:29 Confidence does not sell

Is It Okay To Repeat Topics In Your Marketing Content?
“We really need to be in that receiving mode in order for us to hear… we need to be in that open mode.”
— Julie Greenham
Is content creation a constant source of stress for you? Do you find yourself worrying that you sound like a broken record — or that your audience may be getting tired of hearing from you?
Many of us definitely feel the pressure to create fresh, new content for our audiences each and every week. If we’ve already spoken about a topic, we feel that we need to toss it into the “been there, done that” pile and never speak of it again!
But the truth is that while WE may feel this way… our audiences do NOT.
Revisiting topics can actually be very beneficial, in fact! Repetition is a key factor in teaching and learning — often, we don’t FULLY understand or remember things until we’ve heard them multiple times. This kind of repetition can help us get a deeper grasp of a topic and even begin to see it through a different perspective.
Press play on this episode to learn more about the value of repetition… and how to keep older information forever fresh and interesting!
In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why an audience member’s current state of mind matters when it comes to being able to truly receive your messageA real-life, personal example of why someone may not be able to receive a message — and how that can changeHow to take past information and make it new and compelling!
Highlights:
00:47 Revisiting topics v. fresh content
01:49 Benefits of repetition
02:11 Receiving mode
04:38 Openness & repetition
05:54 Business language
06:55 Recycling topics

Is Your Personal Baggage Holding Your Business Back?
“All of your luggage, all of your bags that you have in your personal life, you bring into your corporate or your business life.”
— Julie Greenham
Is your personal baggage holding your business back?
As much as we may like to think that we have a professional version of ourselves AND a personal version, our personal lives and our businesses are interconnected. Many aspects of our personal lives can affect the choices we make in our businesses — including our values and unconscious beliefs.
Sometimes, this is helpful. But sometimes, we need to take a step back and evaluate.
Evaluate whether we are feeling aligned in our business in terms of our values.
Evaluate whether a fear of rejection is holding us back from great opportunities.
Evaluate how often we’re making choices based on OUR strengths, rather than the strengths of others.
In order to heal potentially harmful influences, you first need to recognize them. In this episode, I give you the tools that you need to get started!
In this episode, you’ll discover:
3 areas you need to examine in order to discover how your personal baggage is influencing the way you run your businessA real-life example of how my personal fear of rejection affected the creation of my professional communityTwo valuable resources to help you learn more!
