“I should be grateful for what I have”
“I should be focused on others”
“If I get more, others get less”

Do these sound familiar? They’re all super common thoughts that so many women use to push their dreams away.

On today’s episode of The Simple Online Business Podcast, I’m talking about giving yourself Permission to Want. I’m giving advice for anyone struggling with the internal conflict of wanting more while feeling grateful for what you already have. It’s not just about acknowledging desires but also about overcoming the barriers that prevent us from striving for something greater.

YOU’LL LEARN:

• How to overcome the barriers of wanting more
• The three common reasons why people struggle to give themselves permission to want
• How to hold both gratitude and ambition - It’s not about choosing one over the other but finding harmony between the two
• Why it’s important to challenge beliefs that wanting something is greedy, selfish, or takes away from others
• How embracing permission to want can lead to positive changes in your lives

Do you….

• Find yourself on your computer scrolling, “pretend working” sometimes?
• Often think or stress about your business when you’re with family or friends or other times you’re technically supposed to be unplugged?
• Work during vacations?

The answer is yes. Because it’s yes for all of us sometimes.

It’s not wrong, and you’re not a bad person or business owner if you do these things.

And also?

These kinds of things are THE top contributors to burnout. It’s not about doing too much work - it’s about loose or non-existent boundaries, including boundaries around
when you let yourself think or worry about your business.

This habit is a hard one to break.

On today’s episode of The Simple Online Business podcast I talk about mental boundaries - what they are, why they matter, and most importantly - actual tips and tools to help you establish them.

YOU'LL LEARN:

• Why there is a need for intentional time dedicated to work and non-work activities
• The importance of mental boundaries in preventing burnout and maintaining work-life balance
• How to control your thoughts about work during non-work hours
• How to find activities that help you relax and unwind from work and why it’s important

A few weeks ago, I was having a meeting with Brenna, my COO and sister. We are in the process of moving platforms (from Ontraport to Kajabi), so she was cleaning up the Booked Out Business portal and looking through stats.

And then she said….

The clients who log into the portal regularly are the clients who get the best results.

Maybe that seems like a “duh” moment - but to have such a clear piece of evidence of it still surprised me. Just the act of showing up regularly to stay engaged with the program and coaching was strongly correlated to that person getting results.

On this week’s episode of the Simple Online Business podcast, I invited Brenna on to talk about it and share our thoughts with you about how to leverage the power of showing up.

YOU'LL LEARN:

• How just showing up can dramatically transform your business
• The importance of client engagement and the impact on results
• How to find consistency and take manageable action in your business
• Why dedicating time to work strategically on your business can have lasting effects
• The surprising relation between client participation and burnout
