You make yourself available to your clients constantly. They can email or text or call you 24/7, and you make it a priority to respond to them as soon as possible. And you might even be making great money in the process! From the client's perspective, this sounds great. But while the constant availability works for them, it means your business isn’t really working for you. Today, I talk with CEO Collective member Dr. Libby Wilson whose functional medicine practice looked great on the surface with successful clients and cash flow. But she had to make shifts so that she could truly have freedom in her business to enjoy life. In this episode, she talks about how she turned things around over the last year to ensure that her practice not only works for her clients but also for herself and her family.

Comparisonitis is strong when you see other entrepreneurs doing ALL THE THINGS... ???? Showing up all the time on social media (how in the world do they have that kind of time?) ?? Being featured on all sorts of podcasts and interviews and events (what do they know that I don't?) ?? Oh look they are launching AGAIN - and look at all those people joining their program! It's so easy to spiral out and think GAH WHAT DO THEY KNOW THAT I DON'T!!! or WHY AM I NOT SEEING THESE RESULTS??? Then we begin to doubt ourselves and our process. And we stop doing what actually works FOR US. Inside The CEO Collective - we remind everyone constantly to run your own race. That means leaning into what works for YOU - your personality, your values, your strengths - instead of following the crowd. That means finding your own pace - because this marathon called entrepreneurship requires us not burn-out if we're going to be in it for the long haul. You don't have to follow the cookie-cutter plan to see amazing results. You just have to TRUST that your way to do your business is the best way FOR YOU. The CEO Collective is here to help! We're now accepting new members who are ready for the strategy, systems, and support to do things YOUR WAY. I'd love to see you inside!

Running a business shouldn't mean sacrificing the truly meaningful parts of your life! Today's episode of Promote Yourself to CEO kicks off of a brand new series on Building a Life First Business! I share my own personal story that has deeply impacted the lens that I see the world through - and is a huge part of why I do the work I do. My mother was 31yo business owner when a car accident left her in a coma for 3 months and in the hospital for another 2 years before returning home to her family. She experienced a Traumatic Brain Injury that would leaver her permanently disabled for the rest of her life. She survived but lost her business... and even more, she missed the early days of my and my sisters childhoods. This episode is deeply personal but if you really want to know why I care so much about building businesses that actually allow you to enjoy your life - my story is a reminder that all we have is today.

Sustainably scaling your business isn’t a solo act. It takes a team to pull it off. Now you’ve probably had some help in the marketing and sales aspect of your business. Or maybe you’ve hired help for the technological or administrative side of things. But are you still holding out on hiring a team to help you work directly with clients to deliver your offer? That’s the last place we as entrepreneurs tend to hire to help us, but it’s necessary if you want a sustainable business! And in today’s installment of our customer experience series, I’ve invited my Director of Operations (and right-hand woman) Amber Kinney onto the show to help me cover it. Amber and I have worked together for over a decade. And she’s the owner and CEO of her own marketing agency where she works with lots of entrepreneurs behind the scenes. So she knows the dos and don’ts of working with (and within) a business team. In this episode of the Promote Yourself to CEO podcast, you’ll learn about all the layers that go into hiring people to join your business and how to do it in a way that works for you, your team members, and your clients. We’ll teach you about transfer of trust and why it works so well to set your business up for success. Listen in wherever you like to check out podcasts!
