Why I encourage my clients to take quick action and fail as often as possible?
Too busy to read this blog...well I’ve got your back friend. I’ve recorded an audio clip, so you can listen to it easily.
It’s funny because we spend the majority of our lives trying to avoid failure.
Failed relationships.
Failed businesses.
Failed courses and exams.
Not getting the job.
Not making the sports team.
Am I right?
I get it!
But failure is inevitable. We can’t actually avoid it. I mean I’d be hard pressed to find someone on this planet that hasn’t experienced some type of failure or mistake in their life.
In fact, the majority of uber successful entrepreneurs have failed at some point in their journey. And yet, they are still successful.
Let’s take Steve Jobs for instance. He was fired from Apple in 1985. Fired from a company he founded with his partner Steve Wozniak.
If you’ve been fired before you know...
4 Common Mistakes Online Coaches Make When Trying to Scale Their Business. And what’s actually preventing them from growing quicker.
Too busy to read this blog...well I’ve got your back friend. I’ve recorded an audio clip, so you can listen to it easily.
Over the past year I’ve invested in my growth as a coach, but I’ve also had the opportunity to support some amazing women in their journey.
And I’ve spent this time observing the common mistakes coaches make when trying to scale their business.
In fact, these mistakes are ones I’ve observed over the course of my 15 year corporate marketing and communications career. So, they aren’t exempt to just online coaching businesses.
And I get why we experience them. It all boils down to wanting to scale before we are actually ready.
Ya know...wanting to experience growth quickly and right now. But as you’ve heard many times before, growing a business takes time. It’s not something that happens over night and if we try to force it we’ll end up wasting loads of money...
4 Ways to Write Email Subject Lines that Actually Get Opened
Too busy to read this blog...well I’ve got your back friend. I’ve recorded an audio clip, so you can listen to it easily.
“Isn’t email dead, Kathryn?” is a question I hear far too often from my clients and potential clients.
The truth is EMAIL is alive and well and the one place you should definitely invest your energy. In fact, if you haven’t started building an email list I highly suggest you start now.
Why?
Because your email list is something you own. It’s an asset for your business. And it allows you to build a highly engaged audience that is saying yes to wanting to hear from you.
The mistake I see most entrepreneurs make is diving feet first into the social media game spending all of their energy building a following, a following they don’t technically own.
Now don’t get me wrong, social media has a place in your biz strategy. But let me tell you a true story. A mentor of mine...

Are you relying on free content to attract more clients and build your biz strategy?
Ya know...downloading freebies, signing up for more weekly emails than your inbox can handle, and joining every free FB community that pops up on your feed.
Hoping that with all of this FREE content you’ll be able to piece together your biz strategy and attract a steady flow of clients.
And I get it.
You want this SOOOO freaking bad that you’ll do anything to make this dream a reality.
The thing is the free content isn’t an effective way to build your business strategy. In fact, it’s keeping you stuck and preventing you from scaling your business.
Not to mention the massive about of OVERWHELM it creates.
Why?
Because this free content isn’t intentionally designed for your...
Why I decided to sell my successful brick and mortar business? And why I am giving you permission to walk away from what isn’t serving you anymore.
Too busy to read this blog...well I’ve got your back friend. I’ve recorded an audio clip, so you can listen to it easily.
After three years of building and growing my business to over a quarter of a million dollars in sales, I decided to post it for sale.
Yup!!
It’s never easy making a decision to walk away from something you’ve spent so much time and energy building. Not to mention something that’s been operating successfully.
Can you relate?
If you’re anything like me, you are committed to a fault, and when you give someone or something your word you go all in.
Do you know what I mean?
So quitting isn’t easy for me, in the good or bad times. And talking about it is even harder, because we often assume that when people QUIT things it must mean we’ve failed.
If I am being completely honest I’d convinced myself for a while that I was a failure. And I’d questioned if...

3 Things You Must Focus on if you want to 5X Your Launch Revenue. Hint: Your Sales Page isn’t One
Too busy to read this blog...well I’ve got your back friend. I’ve recorded an audio clip, so you can listen to it easily.
“I just wish you would tell me what the best revenue generating activities are to focus on Kathryn, because I still feel as if I am in four different places trying to manage all the damn things, while trying to attract more clients.”
Sound familiar?
I hear this all the time from clients. And I totally get it.
I mean, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed by all the to-dos when it comes to attracting clients.
Things like...
Emails.
Website.
Insta stories.
Payment options.
Blogging.
Sales page.
Landing page.
List building.
FB Ads.
The list goes on my friend. Before you know it, you are swimming (or drowning) in a sea of overwhelm. And you and I both know what...

Why Social Media Isn't Working for You?
I've heard a lot of people lately being frustrated with all the CHANGES happening with IG and FB. They've seen a drop in engagement, and little to no growth. And they feel like they are spending so much time on the app with little to show for it.
Well the cold hard TRUTH is, it's not the apps fault. While we love to blame something or someone for things not working out as we hope, it truly isn't the apps fault.
It might seem HARSH but social media isn't working for you because the content you are putting out isn't landing with your people, and your messaging is likely all over the place.
......and you are solely relying on social to gain TRACTION in your business. As if posting 5 times a week, doing stories, and just being on the app will miraculously build you a profitable business.
But in reality social media like billboards or radio ads are just ways (mediums, platforms) in which we can COMMUNICATE with our audience. And if we aren't effectively...
8 Reasons Why You Should Do What You Love For A Living
After years of going through the motions and working in a career I wasn't passionate about, I quit my job so I could start doing what I love for a living. At the time, I think most people thought I was nuts for giving up a high paying job and a career I worked so hard to establish. But what I don't think they fully understood was, I'd rather take the risk to do something I loved than spending one more day doing something I hated. Life is too damn short to spend it hating what you do! After I made the transition, I noticed three major changes happening in my life. Those three things are the reasons why I think you should do what you love for a living.
“Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am strong believer that doing something you love for a living leads to a more fulfilled life, or at least that is how I have felt since I made the leap. While...
