We share ideas, hash out frustrations, and lift each other up. It’s one of the most positive experiences in my professional life.  Many people might see us as “competitors,” and it’s certainly easy to view your peers as competition. The truth is that we have different business models, individual experiences, and unique expertise that set us apart, even though we’re in the same space.

That voice in your head saying “it’s not good enough yet” is just Imposter Syndrome talking.  In today’s episode, I...2022-11-2812 minReady, Set, CEO™ Podcast with Melissa FroehlichReady, Set, CEO™ Podcast with Melissa Froehlich106: How Adaptability Can Sustain Your Business in Tough TimesWhen the going gets tough, you might find yourself wanting to throw in the towel. You lose a client, you worry about raising your prices when there’s inflation, you just don’t know if you can keep going. In today’s episode, I’m sharing what to do when things feel hard or constrictive in your business. The answer is not to quit; it’s to be adaptable.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing some questions to ask yourself when things feel off, how getting to know yourself as a leader can bring better alignment in your business, and why stepping away from the day-to-day can help bring clarity for the future.

No one wants to come across as sleazy or pushy or overbearing, and often, that’s how people think of sales. That is not how selling has to be. In today’s episode, I’m sharing a recent experience I had that I think is a helpful reframe for how to approach sales. It doesn’t have to be overly complicated; it’s about engaging in authentic conversation, asking questions, and genuinely wanting to help someone.

It’s misleading to think that someone is running their business while they hang out on the beach.   In today’s episode, I’m sharing how important processes are to the sustainability of your business.

They don’t know where to start. They think they have to be constantly creating new content, and that just leads to burn out. There are so many platforms and methods for marketing your business—it can feel overwhelming.  But marketing doesn’t have to be this big scary thing.

Consistency is an important part of your business, but it’s easy to get caught up in it to the point of burnout. Post on social media every day. Answer every single comment and DM. Be there for your audience 24/7. Consistency is about more than just showing up on social media.

Does it get you excited to jump on your Instagram stories and talk about your business? Or does it make your skin crawl?  Many business owners hold fears and limiting beliefs about marketing. They’re afraid they don’t have the right formula, the right message, or the right personality to market their services and grow their businesses. But good, sustainable marketing isn’t about the formula.

But I don’t believe that your business has to make seven figures to be successful. And my own business is living proof. My business affords the lifestyle I want to lead.

But that just means it’s more important than ever to find a coach who really gets you. Someone who knows where you’re coming from and understands where you want to be.

Even those with proof of their financial success–massive profits, sold-out launches, healthy savings accounts–get uneasy when they have to face their numbers. In a way, it’s natural.

In the online business community, we’re so obsessed with chasing the big numbers, hitting seven figures, and running the race to the top. But in real life, growth isn’t always about numbers. Growth means becoming more–more aligned, more confident, more rested, more balanced. It means getting closer to your vision, your long-term goals, your purpose. It means defining your own version of success growing into it. Revenue is great, but not at the expense of your personal growth.
