Today, I'm taking you behind the scenes and letting you in on the process of creating a "brand new" program! I'm using air quotes because really I'm pulling together a few programs into a self-paced brand-new offering.
Plus, I need your help!
Are you working toward the launch of a course or coaching program and need some extra support? Are you worried you don’t have a strong enough offer or that you’ve missed something and want to feel confident going into your launch?
I’m looking for 10 people who are working toward launching their new or revised offers and are willing to be on 2 group sessions where I can help you but also ask you some questions!
Spots are limited so I’m going to give you a form to fill out so I can reach out to you with the dates/times of the Zoom sessions.
Fill out this form if you're interested in being in this 10-person 2-day mastermind!

Love to see you there!

Today's Refocus Session shares a process I use OFTEN but I also often need to be reminded to do this...and that is CUT down my to-do list. Is it easy for you to make a neverending to-do list for the week? Is it pages and pages long? Here's the process I used today in the car to think about the week ahead. If you need more white space in your life and are tired of feeling TIRED and strung out and stressed out when you don't finish things, this episode is for you.
Okay, let's get to it!

It's Refocus Time! Today, before we get into actually setting your focus for the week, I want to recommend you start doing a once a week ritual ... tracking your money.

With all the talk online about how to scale your business, you might think that means you need to automate, set up some evergreen funnels, and be good to go. But is it that simple? Scaling means growing...and you get to choose how that happens and what it looks like for you. Today, I'll walk you through 4 questions I've been exploring and why they give you the clarity you need to start actually making your own plan to scale.

Today, I'll walk you through a simple exercise to shift how you see these weights. Spoiler alert: you'll practice finding alternatives to the initial choice you made and move back into what is possible for you (no matter what area of your life you're in). You may even discover the thing you're going to focus on this week!
And in celebration of an alternate choice I made and what's weighing me down...

Here's when to power through your work and when NOT to power through. Plus, I'll talk about the downsides to making consistent powering through to your business.
But I want to hear from you? How often do you think you need to put your nose to the grindstone to get things done?

I cover some of the reasons you might want to sunset your course as well as how to actually handle the process in a way that keeps your current customers/audience happy and excited for you (and what's next).
It's Monday - time to refocus...but before we do let's talk about hitting the delete button. As online creators, sometimes we get in our heads about our content. We want it to be amazing, valuable...and we don't want to embarrass ourselves or regret posting something.

Today, we're going through some key pros and cons of changing the tech in your business. Whether it's just one thing like a plugin for your website or it's the whole platform your website is hosted on...it's a good idea to think through any impact it could have on your business.
Usually, if it's a bigger tool or something that handles your website, communicating with your customers and leads, or housing your courses and products, you'll want to take a little extra time before you decide.
Listen in and start asking questions now - because whether you're moving or not, you can still get yourself organized for the inevitable changes you will want to make in the future.
Welcome to your weekly refocus session. Today, we're talking all about procrastination and why understanding what might be causing yours is so important. Is it a habit?

Listen in today and try the simple strategy I used to get this podcast up and running again.

Welcome to another refocus session. This week, along with the regular prompt to determine what you're focused on...we're talking about something that is bound to come up when things don't go well and that's blame. Blame happens on all types of projects--business, creative, personal. And the one thing you can count on is that blame stops any progress you are making.
