Chill & Prosper with Denise Duffield-Thomas

There’s something that affects each and every one of us and holds us back from success.  In today’s podcast episode I share how to break free. We all have sabotaging business habits that keep us stuck and prevent us from making more money. I still have them!  Are you holding yourself back from making money because you’re stuck in these repetitive behaviors? Self-awareness is your biggest tool in making money.  This episode will help you bring your blocks, habits and the mindset issues that keep you stuck, out into the light. 

Goals aren’t just for January 1st. You can set and reset them throughout the year. I explain how I approach goal setting and share my top tips for making them work. Many entrepreneurs really struggle to set goals - to ask for what they want, to articulate it. Maybe you’re worried about what will happen if you don’t achieve your goal?  I’m here to help you discover why you're not setting goals, why you are not allowing yourself to dream. It's totally okay for you to shift and change your goals.

Let’s Celebrate! Even if things didn’t go to plan, I’m sure you have SO much to be proud of this year.   Taking the time to recognize achievements and celebrate is a skill. As a Ruler I often struggle and say “yeah cool, but what’s next?” - sound familiar?    This episode is for all the introverts out there, who struggle with being the center of attention. The extroverts can learn lots about what it feels like to live with a fear of being visible too!

I want to share my secrets around getting through the holiday season without freaking out about money. I want to help you avoid getting too triggered. This can be a really stressful time of year. Of course, it’s often exciting too. And for some of us, it's sad. But it’s often challenging. Luckily, I have some tips to help you sail through the holidays.

Today I want to talk about three ways that your money blocks are really impacting your business right now.

Today I am talking about lessons that I've learned from doing book tours. Even if you’re not an author, there’s still loads of juice in this episode for you because it’s about mindset shifts and how to simplify, simplify, simplify!  Time to get your ahas from my mistakes!

I want to talk about over giving today. And give you the tools to help you avoid burnout. We’re gonna dig into undercharging and over delivering! I have done this so many times in my business – I have to watch myself for this constantly.  I’ve given away necklaces, earrings, tea cups, even a branded calculator. Yes, really! I know the importance first hand of setting boundaries around stuff, AND my energy and time. You know what, it’s okay to keep things simple (and in fact I wholeheartedly recommend it).  Let’s find some small tweaks that will bring you more joy, more space, more bandwidth and a more profitable business.

Let’s dig into money lessons from celebrities today. I love reading famous people’s memoirs. I love when celebs talk about money! We’re gonna learn from the rich and famous how to develop a better relationship with money. Elton John reveals in his autobiography that in the beginning he splashed cash on flowers, extra houses and art until his accountant sat him down and told him he’d soon run out of money. At this point Elton worked hard to get a handle on his finances, but STILL spent money on the luxuries that bring him joy. In the past, I've spent money that I didn't really have to make myself feel better. I’ve avoided looking at my bills. Have you been there?  Today, we’ll use celebrity lessons to help us learn to love our money, live a more glamorous life and upgrade our self-care!

I’m excited to share with you today how to bounce back after a failed launch. As a money mindset mentor, I see so many people throw in the towel after one crappy launch.  I’ve been there – it’s rough!  You released your book and… crickets, or you've launched your first program and nobody has bought it. This feels devastating. But I’ve got some juicy lessons you can learn from these experiences. I want to talk to you about sales page conversion stats and share about my failed (and successful) launches. Do you know what? Having a successful launch isn’t about branding, or colors or pretty ads. It isn’t even (gasp!) about pricing!  I’m gonna share with you my ultimate successful launch secrets!
