The RefundDecision FatigueShould you listen to this podcast episode? What's for dinner? When does that contract need to go out? Am I ready to hire my first assistant? Welcome to the endless cycle of decision fatigue.

The RefundMasculine vs Feminine Energy in BusinessLet's talk about ENERGY. More specifically, masculine vs. feminen energy. How are you presenting yourself to the world? Do you tend to embrace a direct and on-to-the-next approach? Or are you more fluid and connected to those around you? In this episode of the Refund we return the idea that it has to be all or nothing when it comes to your energy.
Especially in a world where masculine energy is rewarded and feminine energy is dismissed, we're here to say BOTH are needed to succeed in life + business. We dig into what energies dominate in our busin...

The RefundClosers Get CashAs Alec Baldwin infamously said in Glengarry Glen Ross: "A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. ALWAYS be closing, always be closing." Or if you've never seen that ICONIC FILM (which you should), you've probably heard the phrase "closers get coffee" or you think about being sold a car at a dealership.
You get the jist of it. Sales are apart of every moment of our lives, whether we like it or not. And if you want to be successful in the life, you better learn the art of becoming a closer.
On this episode of the Refund, we are...

The RefundLuck or Hardwork?How many times have we heard, "awe, she's so LUCKY" or "she must have a horseshoe up her ass" (our personal favorite) ? Luck is constantly thrown around when we see successful women. When we perpetuate luck over everything else, we diminish the hard work that person has endured to achieve success. But what about those born into privilege? With circumstances out of their control? That is luck, isn't it? On this episode of the Refund, we return a couple ideas: that being "lucky" isn't bad (it should be rebranded as gratitude) and that you need both hard work AND luck...

The RefundBranding Makes You MoneyThink about when you're aimlessly walking down an aisle at Target (with your Starbucks latte). What entices you to grab something new off the shelf? Is it the color combination? The funky packaging? Or the overwhelming "I gotta have this" feeling that takes control and before you know it it's in your cart? That my friends, is the power of branding. In this episode of the Refund, we are returning the idea that branding is just a logo and can't drive revenue for your business. We define what good branding is, how it captures your ideal audience and next ste...

The RefundKnow ThyselfOKAY, but who are we REALLY? In a world where we are told to do everything and be everything, it can be draining. And as business owners we cannot do it all, even when we try, (plus it's not even fun being stressed out all the time!) In order to truly focus on your goals and step into who you really are, you must understand where you feel elevated and where you need to delegate. In this episode of The Refund, we return the idea that you don't have to do it all and self-awareness is the key to une...

The RefundScale vs. GrowthAs business owners, we're asked ALL THE TIME: "how are you scaling?", "are you growing fast enough?", "do you have the capital to scale the business?." You have every right to walk into a bathroom and cry silently. Not knowing the answer to these questions is PERFECTLY NORMAL. We're returning the idea there is one way to grow your business.
On this episode of the Refund, we define and differentiate the difference between Growing and Scaling your business.

In this second installment of The Refund, we're returning the concept that you can't pay yourself as a business owner.
Financial business investments are a big burden when you're starting your business, and every dollar counts. It can feel overwhelming to consider all of your business expenses and far too easy to exclude your personal paycheck as a means of business savings. You're doing the world a disservice by not paying yourself. Paying yourself shows the world your value towar...
