“What type of online course should I create and how long should my online course be?” is one of the main questions that new course creators and my challenge & summit participants ask me.

There are a few different types of online courses out there, let's look at the three most popular ones: ⁣⁣⁣Introductory Online CourseLaser Focused CourseSignature Course

So why do we as course creators need to consider those different types of online courses and why is it important to choose the right one for our company?

Choosing the right type of course comes all down to the transformation you are promising to your new students. As a rule of thumb, the bigger the transformation (the change, the one thing they will be walking away with once they have completed your course) the longer the duratio…

There’s a dynamic I see at play a lot in leaders of six, seven, and yes.. even eight figure businesses. The owner or CEO works hard to grow the company. They experience success, and grow to a certain point. But then, the business gets out of control. And most often, the leader herself will spin out: she realizes that she’s not paying herself enough, never has enough free time, or both. Burnout sets in. You can blame burnout and failure to scale peacefully on a lot of things. But when these things rear their ugly heads, the first place I always look is leader identity.

HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY YOURSELF?

Of course, being a leader means you’re ultimately accountable for the success of your company. But what does it mean to be in charge?

For many leaders, it means always taking care of everything: the clients, the…

“Why is it so hard to get new business?”There are many reasons a service-based business owner may have trouble generating business. Nine times out of ten, however, it has to do with positioning—especially in a highly competitive market.Today’s marketplace is extremely saturated, especially when it comes to online business. Most lawyers, doctors, coaches, and other service based professionals these days find themselves floating in a sea of competition, which makes it much harder to stand out enough to catch the attention of your ideal clients.The solution, of course, is to position yourself in the marketplace to make your competition irrelevant.HOW TO KEEP FROM BEING INVISIBLE IN THE MARKETPLACEOne of core strategies I bring my clients through is to make sure they are positioned to be wildly different from a…

It is the Age of the Prophetess.From the beginning of time, God has spoken to man through the written word. The Bible, the Quran, the Book of Mormon, and the Tao Te Ching are just a few examples.

This is how God has spoken to humans in the past. It has been the source and history of all of man’s dealings with God.

But a shift has recently occurred. It is one that I have both seen and felt personally. It is a new age—a time like never before. An opening has been made and a space has been cleared for the age of the prophetess.

Now is the time when light is being poured down to the earth through women. And more importantly, now is the time when women are finally safe to share their truth with the world and be received.

There has never been a time like this before.

In the past, women were beaten for speaki…

Throughout the many years of growing my business, I've seen Coaches, Consultants and Service Providers struggle and struggle...to live a life of complete and total FREEDOM.

And it still surprises me that...

Those who are struggling to hit their Freedom Number (that number where we are feeling like we are pretty much set and can live the life we want)...

Are making the SAME few mistakes.

I recognize them immediately because they’re the same 3 mistakes I made when I was first starting out. And continued to make for quite a while.

And if you’re not currently making at least $20k–$30k months in your coaching or service provider business in a way that FEELS GOOD…

more than likely, it’s because you’re committing one or more of these classic mistakes.

But here’s the good news.

Female entrepreneurs are not immune to suggested successes. There may be scammers calling themselves a business coach for women, but it is actually just going to drain your money. You need to be careful before you hire a business coach for female entrepreneurs or outsource any work.

We make choices every day – some easier than others, some with quite some time of deliberation, some with none at all. This past year has given us much to reflect on. Our ideas and even our decisions have been challenged. Truths we believed about ourselves or others may have turned out to just the opposite. 2020 has done some work for us. It has forced us to reevaluate, analyze, and maybe even reconsider how we see our world and ourselves.

Dive into that, really slip into the deep ocean that is your consciousness and self-awareness, how do you choose paths in your life? What emotion ultimately drives you? Is it pride? Fear? Curiosity? Gratitude?

I want to be clear. There is no right answer. Every emotion has its place in your heart and a job to fulfill in your life, even the “negative” ones. No emotional connection is wrong, but when you linge…

In my practice, I often meet people who live with dependent partners and they themselves suffer dependency without realizing it.

Many people don’t even suspect that they have some form of dependency.

Take this test to determine if you are really a dependent person. For each answer with “yes” put 1 point.

I often feel bad or sad for no reason and I can’t change it. I can’t control my emotions.

I often tell myself: IF… My partner loves me more, stops drinking, has more money, etc., THEN I will be very happy, calm…

I take offense easily and believe that people are not fair to me and don’t give me enough.

I wonder how it’s possible to be such a good person and such bad things happen to me.

I often experience unhappy and unrequited love, I feel used and deceived.

I don’t have enough mone…
