Thoughts About Rest and Taking a Summer Break
5/4/2022
We’re big advocates of everyone getting the rest they need - and that includes us! It’s important to us to not only bring our unique brand of value to every episode, but to feel lit up and excited, in the inspirational “flow.”
So after this episode, we’ll be taking a summer break from recording the podcast. Over the past year, we’ve spent a lot of intentional time and energy on unlearning hustle-y ways of thinking, and we realized lately we’ve been feeling the effects of being in go-go-go...

Arrival Fallacies, Intentions, and Goals
4/20/2022
When you’re a goal-setter, it’s really easy to think life will completely change for the better once you reach said goal.
You’ll think you’ve arrived:
But more often what actually happens is not the utopia you imagined. You achieve the goal, or “arrive,” and it doesn’t feel like enough. You don’t have gratitude for where you are or what you’ve done, you move the goal post out again, and you keep striving and chasing the next achievement thinking relief is just around the corner.
What are...

Writing Content That Connects
4/6/2022
At LevelUp Co., we’re often leaned on to write content on behalf of our clients. Whether you’re a new coach or you’ve been in the industry for a while, you already know that writing is a necessary part of marketing your business. Social media captions, email sequences, and media pitches each require specific skillsets to convey your message from a place of strength and value.
Deciding to write your own content versus bringing on a marketing team to do it is up to you. But regardless of the...

What the Heck is Going on with Social Media?
3/23/2022
We’re almost through the first quarter of the year, and before we even rolled into 2022, Instagram made it abundantly clear that they’d be rolling out another wave of changes to the platform (insert collective sigh here).
There’s now a customizable home screen, among other things, leaving coaching business owners wondering what that means for the algorithm when your followers have the option to add you (or not) to a Favorites list.
You might also have noticed your Instagram follower reach...

Honor Your Time + Capacity with Coach Gretta Scholten

Productivity. Time commitments. Fully booked schedules. Staying on track. Getting it all done.
Some or all of these things often accompany our ideas around time management. But today's guest, Gretta Scholten, time management coach for women, will have you radically changing how you view your to-do list and its place in your life + business.
In this episode, we talk about the cyclical nature of productivity, why it's important to shift our expectations of what we can get done in a day, and...

What You Should Know Before Hiring a Team
2/23/2022
Transitioning from doing everything yourself to having help is not easy. You’re used to doing everything alone, on your schedule, in your way. Because of this, you may think it will be simple to just tell someone else how you’ve always done things. But it is so much more than that. What are the indications you’re ready to hire a team? What groundwork should you do before making your first hire? How will you communicate well with your new team?
There is a lot that goes into hiring a team....

Reframing Negative Experiences
2/9/2022
Nothing that happens in your business is technically negative. Some things are simply meant to be and shape where you are going. But very few things are actually a huge problem. When you can shift your thinking away from seeing things as nothing but a failure, you free yourself.
In this episode, Kacey and I (Suzanne) discuss how to reframe negative experiences. Kacey shares how this concept so closely parallels successful marketing and provides insights that apply to many business...

Ending Niche Drama with Veronique Vaillancourt
1/26/2022
Finding your niche in the coaching world can be a real pain point. How do you know what’s right for you? How do you push past the doubt and see your superpowers? Everyone has a strength but it isn’t always easy to identify your own. To you, it comes easily and naturally so it’s no big deal. But to others? It might just be the wow they need to experience a significant breakthrough in their life.
In this episode, Kacey and I (Suzanne) talk with Veronique Vaillancourt, who is a Niche Life...

Changing Toxic Thoughts for Success with Katherine Rapkoch
1/12/2022
Finding self-love and peace in where you are can be a challenge. As women, especially, we often tie our worth to our achievements. This can result in toxic thoughts that plague us and freeze us in one place. That can then become exacerbated by “positive” or “motivational” thoughts that aren’t actually positive for our current situation or internal thought-process.
In this episode, Kacey and I (Suzanne) talk with Burnout Coach, Katherine (Katie) Rapkoch all about learning to slow down and...

Human Design and the Energy of Your Business
12/29/2021
Human design affects how you grow your business and how you work in it day in and day out. I (Suzanne) believe that crafting your business around this concept can create energy and success you might not otherwise have.
In this episode, Kasey and I define what human design is, and how it can energize your business and reduce frustrations. To help demonstrate the concept, Kacey tells about her recent experience with having her design read for her. She also shares how it has impacted her...

Choosing Gratitude over the Grind
12/15/2021
With the new year coming, it’s normal to look forward, to focus on business changes and goals we want to make. But what about looking backwards to gain proper perspective to look forward? Year-end is the perfect time to fully rest, reflect, and then reset. And to do so well is where gratitude comes in.
Gratitude challenges our conditioning to constantly move our goalposts and stops us from short-changing ourselves. When we sit with what we’ve already accomplished, rather than rushing to the...

The Professionalism Myth
12/1/2021
It’s time to discuss the P word: Professionalism. We’re conditioned to believe professionalism is not only desirable but preferred. However, the very guise of professionalism is often a myth. Both a help and a hindrance, if not handled properly, striving to appear “professional” can lead to some very unhealthy tendencies.
While having professional standards and practices is wise and advised, recognizing the thoughts and feelings driving your choices is crucial. The mask of professionalism...

How To Sign Every Client
11/17/2021
Frustrated by talking to a lot of clients but signing very few? You are likely forgetting a crucial fact: It’s NEVER about you. You may be thinking this is obvious. Of course your business is all about your clients. So why aren’t you convincing people to work with you? Aha! That might be the core of your problem.
If you’re trying to convince people… maybe even trying to convince yourself… You’re missing your true target potential client: those that already need you. In this episode, Kacey...

Ditch The Contract
11/3/2021
Contracts for service agreements. Should you have them? Are they worth the hassle?
In my opinion, no. Personally, I (Suzanne) discovered when I did use them that few of my clients signed them anyway. Kacey, coming from the freelance world, has had mixed experiences with them as well. In this episode, she and I discuss our opinions about signing contracts with clients. We talk about how they can potentially lock you continuing in a direction (with a client) you’re no longer aligned with, why...

Why You Need To Follow Your Intuition In Business
10/20/2021
Intuitions, borne from your natural reactions to situations, can be very powerful. They can help you move forward in making a business decision or reassure you to go after an opportunity. Or they can steer you away from a wrong decision or guide you to a better alternative. But how can you know if those intuitions are reliable? How can you differentiate a knee-jerk reaction of emotion from a wise inner prompting you ought to follow?
Because intuition plays both a frequent and important role...

Challenging the Supposed Tos in Business - and Life
9/29/2021
I’m joined again today by Kacey Hayes, content creation expert at LevelUp Co., and we’re pulling back the curtain on the business behind the show. Or at least, the people running the business behind the show.
We’re challenging all the things we’ve been told we’re “supposed to” be doing to create success in our businesses. For example, showing up all over social media every single day, working long hours to be worthy of your success, or maintaining a huge email list in order to be a good...

Why Branding Doesn't Matter - and When It Does
9/15/2021
The heart of your business is about more than deciding on your brand colors, fonts, creating a logo, and having professional photos taken.
So much more.
So why do you spend all that time thinking about your website, tweaking your logo, and deciding which photo to share on social media?
Because so many of us start our businesses with no idea where to put our focus, so we hide behind our branding (plus, we think great branding lets our friends and family know we have a legit business).

Successful Decisions Every Time
9/1/2021
There’s a flow and a process to how each of us makes decisions in our business. Pros and cons lists, asking other business owners what they’ve done, or just determining what you think you ‘should’ do and deciding from that place. But what is your natural, innate decision-making process? You may have never considered that before - and with good reason.
We’re taught to rely on our brain’s conditioning to make decisions, instead of the way we’re born and designed to. You know that awful...

Get Exactly What You Want
8/18/2021
Great programs and service providers will tell you this truth up front: their service and program works, IF you own it and commit to it. If you still show up.
When clients sign on with us to help take a lot of the admin and social media marketing off their plate, I am very honest about their results. Their results on social media are still completely dependent on how much they show up, stay engaged, and interact.
Hiring out your social media isn’t a magic wand you wave and someone else can...
