The Hidden Reason You’re Not Satisfied With Your Business
Do you ever feel like there’s something missing from your life or business?
If so, you’re not alone.
But what you think is missing might not give you the satisfaction you’re after once you get it.
A lot of my clients tell me that they want more clients or they want to reach a certain financial goal.
But what they’re chasing is the vehicle, and even once they reach it, they still don’t feel satisfied.
In this episode, I share an exercise I walk my clients through to uncover what truly matters.
This simple shift helps you get what you want sooner, without the endless chase.
Covered in this episode:
Why “more clients” or “more revenue” never feels like enough.
An exercise to uncover what really matters to you.
How to make important decisions more easily.
Uncovering your highest priority.

The Key To Repeating Success And Avoiding Failure In Your Business
How often do you stop to think about why things have or haven’t gone well?
If you’re like most creative business owners, probably not very often.
And the problem with this is that you could be missing the strategies that led to your successes and failures. Meaning it’s harder to repeat the wins and avoid more losses.
As we move into the last quarter of the year, I want to help you to achieve any outstanding goals you’ve set before the year ends.
I’m going to run you through a process that I do with my clients every 90 days, to discover what is and isn’t working, to give you more clarity and help you keep up the momentum.
Covered in this episode:
How to identify what is and isn’t working in your business.
Where to shift your focus so you attract more wins.
A repeatable process to figure out what you need to do more of.
