This simple act can drastically change your business.
The next time you say you’re going to do something no matter how big or small it is, follow through.
For example, if you buy a course, take it. Implement it.
If you want to make a video, make it and post it.
If you want to ask for the sale, ask for the sale.
When we break promises to ourselves, even micro ones (like yes, I’ll make that Instagram story later and then you don’t) you slowly erode the trust you have with yourself which creates doubt over time.
You deserve your own trust.
If that means you make smaller ‘to do’ lists per day, so be it.
If that means you put it on social media what you’re doing to do so that you can be held accountable, then do that!
if that means you hire a coach to help you stay accountable, go for it!
But whatever you do, make a promise to stop breaking your promises to yourself because they’re hurting you more than you know.
And it’s not necessary.
You CAN follow through on things.
The fact that you’re reading down to the end of this post tells you can follow through.
Let me know in the comments something you want to follow through on and I’ll hold you accountable. Be sure to make it simple and give it a date!
The more you follow through on what you say you’re going to do for yourself, the more confidence you’ll build and that will create momentum.
And momentum creates great things for business!!

And so, the experiment begins!
Last week I made a decision that moving forward I was no longer going to work weekends. Not even for a few minutes!!
After 15 years of working most weekends even if it was for an hour or so, I decided it was time that this habit no longer served me.
I know that with regular time off we become more creative, focused and productive and so, that’s the goal.
This wasn’t an easy decision as having the weekends to do anything extra was always a crutch to lean on however I know that that is no longer the life I want to lead and so it’s time for change.
Stay tuned over the coming weeks and months as I share how this affects me, my work, focus and business.
I’m excited to see!!
Do you work weekends?

I’m nervous about this BUT I know it will be good for me and for my business.
In my work I help entrepreneurs work with more ease and flow while still getting more done.
And it has come to my attention that for me personally having the weekend as a crutch to “get things done” is no longer serving me.
I want to be more productive during my week and have more time for life outside of work.
So I’m taking my own advice to the next level and no longer working weekends.
My goal is to make it to the end of 2023 and see what the results are.
This may not sound like a big deal to those who work in day jobs, but to an entrpeneur who spent her first 5 years working basically non-stop and always used the weekend to do some type of work, this is a radical shift.
And it’s a radical shift in trust. Both in myself to use my time wisely during the week and to the universe for allowing things to flow with more ease and not “hustling” for it.
I also have an intention to be an example for my clients that you can be even more successful when you give yourself time to be and then do.
So, here’s I go! No working on weekends for the rest of 2023. 🫣🤩🙃
I’m nervous even as I type this but I want to share publicly for accountability.
Okay now I’d love to hear if you do this, or have thought about it.
Let me know in the comments 👇🏻 I’d love to hear your experience.

Can I share something with you?
Making peace with your pace is something I return to time and time again...
Here’s why:
👀 It's SO easy to compare ourselves to others.
👀It's SO easy to look at someone's big launch or month or fancy trip abroad and wonder what we're doing wrong.
But the reality is that you are not them.
Equally you don't know anything about their journey, how they got there and/or whether those results are even possible for you at this stage.
Your business is yours and when you begin to embrace that truly you can sit in and relax.💫
For me personally I found that when I relaxed into knowing that I was going to build my business at a pace that was right for me, the pressure came off, my creativity flourished and business got more fun, not to mention sales went up.
Does that resonate with you? Let me know in the comments below!

The one where you gained confidence like Taylor Swift!
This Joyous Hotline is for all my fellow #swifties to celebrate her coming to Toronto in Nov 2024!
And who better to remind us entrepreneurs to step into our confidence than the incomparable Taylor Swift?
Who is without a doubt my favourite musician and entrepreneur combo!
How many @taylorswift references in song name or lyric can you find?
AND can you name them in order? 😉
Let’s see!!

Is beating yourself up over lack of progress helpful?
You and I know that it’s not yet as high achievers we do it all the time.
If you’re in a place where you feel you ‘should’ be more productive but you’re just constantly not, it could be because you’re denying yourself space to heal and trying to perform at the same capacity you would be when you’re feeling great, but you just aren’t right now.
We have to honour the fact that we are not machines.
We can’t keep doing, doing, doing with out rest. We aren’t built like that. We must rest.
One of my favourite things that I share with my clients is that you have to make peace with your pace.
If you’re in a season of rest right now and your capacity is at 50 or 60% of what it is when you’re feeling great, then so be it.
If you give yourself time and space to rest and not do as much, you will eventually heal and you will get your capacity back. But berating yourself for it is only slowing your healing progress.
When you combine this with playing the long game in your business, then you know it’s okay to slow down. This isn’t going to affect your business in the long term. If anything, it will help your business because you’ll get back to your old self sooner rather than later.
Be kind to yourself, give yourself grace and honour the season of life that you're in and that will serve your business better in the long run.
Have you gone through a season like this? Or are you going through one now?
How did you handle it?

The one where you have a love/hate relationship with your business.
Sometimes I just crack myself up 😂 lol
I hope you enjoy this latest episode of The #joyoushotline … it was inspired by a client I had years ago who said this was one of the big lessons she got out of working together.
Emotional regulation around your business is so important to playing the long game.
Focus on the long term… just like you would with your hubby. 😝

Sales calls don’t have to be icky or awkward at all.
I know many service providers can feel that way when it comes to price tags (I know I used to) however I learned a trick that made it much easier to talk money.
Here are 2 things you can do to have higher conversions on your sales calls as a Coach, consultant or service provider.
1 - Assume they can afford you.
When people are on a sales call you assume they can afford you.
Just like if they went into a high-end restaurant, they’re there because they can afford it. The server isn’t worried about whether or not they can pay the bill. They know the customer can otherwise they wouldn’t have went in there in the first place.
2 - Ensure they know your price range.
To make #1 happen you need to ensure they know your price range. Either have it on your website OR in your pre-questionnaire have a question that states:
My pricing ranges from A to B. Are you willing and able to invest at that price to get the results you want?
It’s simple and effective. You can also let them know if payment plans are available.
Now, if you’d like more sales calls to practice this on, then come to my Sizzlin’ Summer Sales Masterclass on Thursday, July 6!
I’m going to show you a 1 hour/day method you can use to get some amazing clients this summer and set yourself up for a great fall (some sales will close then VS this summer).
This method is how I’ve gotten INCREDIBLE clients over the years.
It’s tried, tested and true.
And it’s all based on building relationships in an authentic yet strategic way.
You’ll love it!
