149. What It Really Takes to Work Less and Earn More [Episode Takeover with James Wedmore]
We’ve been conditioned to believe that the more we work, the more we earn. And often we use "busy" as a badge of honor – we equate success with working more hours and how hard we put effort into our work.But I bet, there’s not a single person in the world who wouldn’t like to work less and make more money at the same time. And maybe like me, you probably started your business because you wanted to have ownership and control of how you spent your time. You do not have this dream to be chained to your desk all the time and work ridiculous hours.So what does it really take to GROW YOUR INCOME and INCREASE YOUR RESULTS while actually WORKING LESS? And Is it really possible?Listen to today’s episode – it’s a podcast takeover with my business coach, James Wedmore. He shares with us what it really takes to build a thriving online business from different angles, how to MAKE MORE and WORK LESS. I love how he approaches business and makes things super tangible and tactical and I wanted to share this because it speaks to exactly what I wanted when it came to my business. I hope this episode improves your relationship with time, moves out of the hustle mindset and encourages you to take action and scale your business that’s aligned with your life.

141. When can I start speaking on stages?
If you’ve felt the pull to share your story in a bigger way from stages, the question is when is the right time to get serious about it?If you’re like most business owners, you have a list, a mile long filled with competing priorities– many of which are on the “do it now” list, so “speaking on stages” just doesn’t feel urgent.But what if I told you that speaking on stages is something that can happen much sooner than you think? And what if I told you that the #1 regret my private clients have is not preparing for big stage moments sooner? What if I told you that by taking steps now to speak on stages, you would actually improve other areas of your business?This is what we’re going to explore in today’s episode. I’ll share when to start getting serious with pursuing stages. Spoiler – the sooner you START, the sooner you'll get good at it. And when you have the skills to command a stage, it makes micro moments like selling, recording videos or going live, far less stressful and more impactful.
