What if you had guardrails in your business?

My clients are highly intuitive. They listen to their gut instincts. They act quickly when they get inspiration.

They also sometimes feel lost in the basics of marketing guidelines. How to scale something. Foundational elements in the business. Creating a strong brand.

That's where I come in. I provide the guardrails. I heal your relationship with technology. I help you create the parameters that *feel* good to deliver your message. Then set you free to dream and create with that foundation of knowledge. When you're ready to uplevel, we dream again and expand the guardrails.

This process is SO freeing and SO fun. There are a billion ways to market your business and to scale and configure your offerings. I love to jump into that playground and make sense of an infinite number of possibilities to create a foundational plan that aligns with you, your brand, and your style.

When nothing seems to go right ... sometimes it does.

This week went squirrely (this summer really, but let's not go there). Earlier this week, my kiddo got sick again. Why do kids get sick SO much??? It's cruel. She was sick last week and had a resurgence for 24 hours which is weird. But really, with kids, nothing is all that unusual anymore.

Anyway, I had a massage scheduled for the next day and figured I would probably be needing to care for her so I called to cancel. Unfortunately, I was within the 24-hour timeframe so if they couldn't fill the spot, I would be charged. It was a 90-min blissful space that I had carved out for myself with my favorite therapist who is super hard to get in with. I was frustrated that I wouldn't be able to use it AND would end up paying for it anyway. But, I run a business and I honor cancellation policies cause I get it!

So, I sent out the invitation to my friends to grab the spot if they wanted it. I also posted in some of my business and mom's groups because we all need a 90 min stress relief time. Surely someone would want this coveted time slot.

I woke up the next morning and my kiddo was bouncing off the walls, acting perfectly normal. I called to check on the spot and ...

🙊 There were no takers. 🙊

I went ahead and re-booked that time slot myself. What you see here is the face of someone grateful that the Universe knew when I needed a little self-care. Despite having made other project work slots for the day already, that appt remained open and waiting for me. Like an insistent parent tapping their foot waiting for the right decision. And, for my husband for pushing me to go anyway even though I was worried my kiddo would need me that day anyway (she didn't at all).

I did need that time. I did enjoy it. This is another reminder for me that all the pieces fall into place. We just have to melt into the belief that it all works out and let go. I think when we hold on too tight, that's really when things go sideways. ...

TIME TO PRACTICE! 👇 Tell me your positioning statement in the comments below if you have a business.

Here's mine: I'm Katie. I help passionate holistic entrepreneurs go from doubting their business abilities, hating technology, and questioning how to simplify their offers to holding a joyfully clear business plan while creating a functional schedule through a customer-connected offer stack.

Positioning statements should be:
✅ easy to identify with for your audience base
✅ understandable
✅ explaining the transformation you provide
✅ creating hope and excitement
✅ enticing potential customers to learn more
✅ on brand

What do you think - would you tweak anything about mine to be clearer?

Now is the time to get as clear as possible about what you do in your business. Getting this step nailed down makes every business step afterwards *so* *much* *easier*!!!

Now I want to hear yours! I'll even give you feedback/suggestions if you'd like them. Just type a YES or NO next to your statement if you want feedback or not.

Sometimes you have to flip an idea on its head to find your motivation.

I am chock FULL of ideas. All of the time. I see an idea from multiple angles. I even pull various ideas to create packages. My clients love that I can help them see new, fresh ways of working they hadn't thought about before.

About twice a year, I get restless with my offerings. I am constantly craving new adventures. So, when I feel restless in my business, or ready for something new and exciting to offer, I take my favorite packages and write them down. Then I try to look at them from different perspectives. Where can I breathe fresh energy into them to create something new and helpful? Or, add to them or provide my content in a different way. I study which exercises have been *most* helpful to my clients. I explore (and sometimes re-survey0 what problem I am seeing my clients struggle with the most. And, I pay attention to what lights me up when I think about helping to solve those problems.

Sometimes just a small tweak can bring a whole new idea. Focus on the connection of supporting your customers. Add value. Add energy. Find a way to deliver your content that gets you excited.

It's OK to switch it up! Just keep your messaging on point and explain the new wind in your sails. 🙌

Tagging the ever-wise @jessicamangumysp for that kick-in-the-pants quote!! And, for the gift many moons ago of the morse code bracelet that says BADASS from my dear friend @st8angel

When you've learned to handle everything yourself, it's downright harrrrrrrd to be vulnerable! And I will admit that I am NOT great at asking for help or support. The only one I've had to count on in my business for 16 years is myself. I've had team members and they are wonderful. I could not do all that I do without them. But when they move on (and they don't always, but sometimes they do), it's back to me. Sometimes asking for help makes me feel weak, unsuccessful, or disorganized. I start wondering why can't I handle it all?

For me, this also tends to mean that I ...
😬 don't accept positive feedback easily.
😬 take on more than I should.
😬 don't FEEL things effectively ... I THINK through things.
😬 assume responsibility for more than I should.
😬 often assign my self-care as an "in a little while" task.

TIMEOUT ... who says we have to handle it all?!?! Where did that message creep in? Deep down, I know that asking for help or feedback is a strength. It moves me forward every time. I always feel better after I've admitted my limits and asked for support. AND - it's still hard for me to do.

This will be a lifelong lesson for me. I'm so much better than I was, but I definitely still have more work to do. Don't we all?

So next time you are feeling vulnerable asking for help, just remember that it's hard to be vulnerable when you're such a badass that you've taken it on for so long 😉 And remember that badass isn't a badge of honor - sometimes it's a white flag signaling a need for help. Ask for it. ❤️

If you've been thinking about updating your website, you're in luck! Two of my clients put their projects on hold so I have two spaces available for an August start date.

My clients know it's never "just creating a website" when you work with me.

The process always ends in a 'wow, I understand myself so much more and am feeling so fully aligned with my purpose' type of way.

These are just a few things to remember about creating or re-creating a new website:
✨ You are re-becoming. This brings up a lot of inner work on visibility and alignment. Remember that you are letting go of a previous version of yourself and evolving into something even greater. Don't forget that you get a trained coach AND designer with me.

🕯 It can be uncomfortable to spotlight your gifts. No matter how much you believe in them. I'll give you permission to own them, to brag about them (with grace, of course), and to spotlight them.

⚡️ Change can be hard. You're likely shifting systems, content, and offers. It's a lot of change and while it's exciting, it can also be uncomfortable. We'll help you pick the right systems and learn how to use them.

🌤 There is no rush. I have learned that with these projects comes a divine timeline. We may hit bumps or setbacks. You may experience writer's block or distraction. It is all divinely timed to release the new you out into the world in perfect tempo with the Universe's plan for you.

So if you're sensing now is the time, let's chat! Even if August isn't the *right* date, let's discuss what you're dreaming up so you're armed with the information you need when the time is right!

One of my favorite things during the spring/summer is working in the yard. I love to plant new flowers around my house and enjoy the growth as the season progresses. It brings me such joy to watch previously bald patches of edging fill in with gorgeous blooms and bushes. I love harvesting the garden we plant. This year I have a little helper who enjoys taste testing the bounty of the garden as we pick. These cherry tomatoes are out of this world!

There is such life in spring and summer, and yet we tend to want to rest. I am tickled with the correlations between analogies for planting seeds, watching blooms, growing over time, and seasons to grow, harvest, and rest. I've been in a rest period. And it has been uncomfortable. I don't "not do" well. I'm trying to learn how to be patient with myself and not rush. I'm working on not feeling guilty about it. This season of rest definitely doesn't come naturally to me!

What are you harvesting this time of year? Be it physical, emotional, or tangible? ...
