The Thrive PodcastTake action and just do the thingI've been procrastinating And it's not because I'm lazy. Or burntout. Or have other things that *actually* need to get done.

Until I realized something that changed everything for me: There is no right answer. Life is not a test you can get 100% on. Life is messy.

The Thrive PodcastHow I'm finding more balance in 2024I'm not growing my business this year. I really never thought I'd say that and honestly I went back and forth on whether or not I would share this.

The Thrive PodcastHow to set your goals for 2024Are you thinking about your goals for the new year? As the year starts to wind down and come to a close, I can't help but think: Where will I be a year from now? It's so incredibly exciting to imagine all of our big goals coming true, which is why as entrepreneurs we all LOVE to set goals. But are you setting the *right* ones?

The Thrive PodcastHow to make more money in your businessIt's a question I'm asked over and over again: How am I supposed to make money at this?! It's certainly not quick or easy to make money in business and it's usually not as simple as just increasing your price. You have to consider a ton of factors, including your overhead costs, volume of sales, cost of goods, sales channels, positioning.....the list goes on and on. Which is why the blanket advice of "increase your price" doesn't work - it doesn't take literally anything else into consideration, including whether or not you'll remain competitive at a higher price...2023-11-0740 min

The Thrive PodcastHow to deal with competitionAre you looking at your competition? Dealing with competition can be SO difficult. You keep hearing people say nice things like "there's enough to go around" But you can't help but think - is there *really* though?! I mean, *they* are crushing it. So is there really any room for me? Will anyone buy from me? Will they put me out of business? It's really easy to get sucked into their highlight reel on IG and forget that you are a force to be reckoned with. So what do you do when you start to feel the weight of...2023-10-0323 min

Acting as if is such a powerful tool that you can use in your business and life to become the person you want to be.

The Thrive PodcastHere's your motivation to keep goingDo you ever think about just throwing in the towel? Giving up? Going back to a regular desk job? We *all* do. Even the most successful entrepreneurs consider this from time to time, because honestly - entrepreneurship is really. freaking. hard. most of the time. But we don't quit. We stay in it. We keep striving for more.

The Thrive PodcastBeing bold, finding your customer, and showcasing your value with Jenessa Olson of EcologiccaDo you know who you are talking to with your marketing? When Jenessa Olson started Ecologicca, she faced a unique challenge: How do you get people to buy into something that's a completely new to idea? After doing tons of market research, including actually calling her customers, she realized that she didn't have to convince people that what she had was valuable.
