Chill & Prosper with Denise Duffield-Thomas

The holiday season is upon us, and along with the joy and festivities, it can also bring up some money blocks and worries. Don't worry - I've got you covered!    In today’s podcast ep,  I’m sharing some insights on how to overcome any limiting beliefs and fears around money during the holidays. So grab a cup of cocoa and let's dive in!

This podcast explores the challenge of dealing with unsupportive friends, family, and partners when it comes to money mindset. It discusses the importance of understanding different money mindsets and how they can affect relationships. The speaker also shares a personal story about finding a major issue in their house and emphasizes the importance of communication and balance in relationships. Additionally, it explores the significance of reflecting on childhood experiences and money memories to understand their impact on one's current money mindset. The chapter also discusses the importance of creating new family values around money and taking responsibility for your money mindset.

Sometimes, in business, things feel hard. There'll be times when you might not love your business; in fact, you might hate it and want to quit.    But before you do anything drastic, let's work through it together.    It's not all or nothing; you don't have to break your business completely - some tweaks could make all the difference.    Your capacity, energy, and passion for your business will change at different stages of life. And even at different times of your cycle (if you have periods).   So be honest with yourself about the season that you're in right now.    Farmers need to rotate crops and animals and give land fallow time, and maybe you're in more of a family or health season than a business growth season right now.    Wherever you're at, it's okay, and you can set up your business to support rather than drain you.

These words in a recent fortune cookie really got me thinking;   "Reading without reflection is like eating without digestion."   I can devour a book in an afternoon, but sometimes don't take the time to reflect on what I've just read. I can be a fast eater, too.   And I'm fast entrepreneur, constantly juggling multiple projects and quick to action new ideas. The fortune cookie made me reflect on how I can bring more spaciousness into my life.   And it sparked some new ideas on how reflection can help you grow your business.    Because when you're growing a business or dreaming of a bigger life, everyone's best next step looks so different.    Sometimes, it's education or a course. Sometimes, it's going on a retreat like I did recently.    Sometimes, it's in the nuances, like giving yourself an extra day of travel so you don't feel rushed or time off between projects.

Whether it’s for your podcast, social post, or videos - being in business means constantly coming up with new content ideas.    And I always get asked how I come up with ideas and keep things fresh.    So, I’ve put together all my best tips and tricks to inspire you to get into the content-creation groove.    As you listen today, grab a pen or the notes app on your phone to capture your ideas for podcasts or emails.  

Thankfully, I don’t get a lot of hate mail.    Well, actually, I don’t know because my team gate-keeps my emails, but I hope not 🙂   But the inspiration for today’s podcast episode does come from a comment I got online…   “Denise, you’re so new money.”    I think it was intended as an insult, but I didn’t take it that way because it’s kinda true. I am new to money and have made a few classic new money mistakes since becoming wealthy.    So, I’ve got some insight and cautionary tales to help you acclimatize to having more money. 

Do you like Halloween? Are you dressing up and trick-or-treating? I love it and can’t wait for some fun and candy with the kids.    Today, we’ve got a spooky topic on the podcast - scary clients.    Whenever I speak to entrepreneurs about their fears, many of them are around having scary conversations with clients or dealing with difficult clients.    It’s a rite of passage on your business journey to have a few nightmare clients, so hopefully, today’s advice will make that a little easier when they pop up for you.    Or if you’ve had nightmare clients in the past, this is an excellent opportunity to heal and let go of any horror stories
