Mindful Productivity Podcast

What’s been one of the most groundbreaking courses or programs you’ve enrolled in since starting your business?

Since 2015 I’ve enrolled in more courses than I can count and have spent excess of $60,000 learning how to grow, market, and run my business. (Not something I had planned on when I initially started my business and thought I already knew what I was doing 🤷🏼‍♀️)

I’ve invested in expensive business coaches and year-long programs.

And to be completely transparent, many of them weren’t as helpful as I had hoped. (I’d say about 20% of the investments I’ve made over the years have been downright horrible and not worth the price) - typically programs based on bro-marketing and bro-psychology 🙄

The other 80% got me the results I wanted (if I did the work required), introduced me to fellow business owners that I still talk to on the regular, and helped me validate how I want to run things in my own business.

In this episode I'll be sharing:

• What I now look for in an online course or program before making an investment & 4 important questions to ask yourself
• Red flags 🚩that keep me from buying
• The component I’ve found most helpful in online programs that not every course or program includes (these can be things you also consider as you create & market your own courses 😉)
• The business program that I totally love and recommend x1000 unicorn rainbow cupcakes 🦄🌈🧁 because it’s hands down been the best investment I’ve made in my business!
• What I was able to learn and focus on that has helped me generate growth (and income) in my business.
• A walkthrough video showing you behind-the-scenes and what’s included in WAIM Unlimited.

And I’ll be showing you what I was able to learn and focus on that truly generated growth (and income) in my business.

This week I'm actually going to be sharing recent live replay recording of a call that I did inside of my program, Pretty Productive Life. This is a program where I have created a complete notion system to help you stay organized with your task and project management, create content, manage your mental wellbeing, and so much more.

And now through the end of 2022, every other week, I'm doing a live call on Friday where we either do Journal prompts or we do a weekly pulse point check in.

We're kind of in an experimentation mode right now, so it's been really fun to do these different calls and the one I recently did felt so lovely and I thought it might be fun to actually share the replay of it with all of you so you can listen along in this recording. I definitely recommend having a Journal, a notebook, or something to type in, whether it's a Notion document or a Google Doc, whatever you prefer.

But we'll be going over some reflection questions for the past month and planning ahead.

Let's get started!

Watch the video replay on this page here.
