JOIN The Legal Collective where Women Attorneys raise the bar https://businessgrowthacademy.com/legalcollective/  In this episode, we’re talking about your dream fee. The amount you really want to charge but maybe haven’t had the confidence to claim just yet. Every time I ask my clients what they charge versus what they secretly wish they could charge, there’s always a difference. That gap is usually filled with mindset blocks and fears, missing out on the freedom, income, and impact you truly deserve. But imagine what could shift if you let go of flat fees and actually charged what you’re worth. A business that finally feels like yours.

In today’s episode, I’ll share my favorite, proven strategies for getting in front of champagne clients. If you know me, you know I’m all about proactively growing your business. When I moved to the States 12 years ago, I didn’t know anyone. I asked myself, How do I get started when nobody knows me? I built my business from the ground up by focusing on what worked back in Europe. I aligned with my natural strengths and began tapping into speaking engagements with business owners. Why speaking? Because it gives us instant credibility. We don’t need to speak to large audiences; we just need the right people in the room and the courage to make offers.

Say what you need to, then stop talking—and let the pause work in your favor. I invite you to start practicing getting more comfortable with silence.

In today’s episode, I’ll share the #1 metric you need to boost your revenue: tracking the number of offers you make. One of the biggest opportunities for growth in small businesses, especially among women, is overcoming the fear of making offers. Waiting for clients to come to you isn’t a strategy—it’s a missed opportunity. Growth happens when you take proactive steps. Put yourself out there, make offers, and track how many you’re making.

Maybe it's not you—maybe it's your coach.   In this episode, we will explore the difference between a coach and a mentor — and help you determine what kind of support you need.   Coaching is about asking powerful questions to uncover a client's insights, while mentoring comes from individuals who have already achieved specific goals and are sharing their experiences and proven roadmaps.   You need someone with a clear system to guide you toward your vision while providing the right support and accountability.   As we approach the end of the year, it's worth asking: Is it time to change your coach?

Get a copy of the 10 Principles of Get Rich Without Being a Bitch. https://businessgrowthacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/grwbab-principles-compressed-1.pdf    Today, let's explore a key leadership requirement for business owners: crafting a compelling vision.   A lack of clear vision can leave us susceptible to burnout, but it's equally important that this vision is uniquely ours and truly aligned with who we are. I encourage you to reflect deeply—ask yourself the champagne question (what success would look like if everything worked out perfectly) and notice the moments you're holding back or compromising on your vision.   While society often imposes its definitions of success, your vision is yours to define. Be intentional about identifying what you don't want and uncovering any limiting beliefs holding you back.   Finally, I invite you to nurture your vision actively. Declare it boldly and commit to becoming the person who can bring it to life.   Be inspired in this episode of Get Rich Without Being A Bitch: Crafting A Compelling Vision For Your Business.

Often, it's easier to recognize our patterns in areas outside of work—and then apply those insights.   This conversation isn't just about "winning" but committing to what aligns with and sustains your energy. It's about focusing on what you stand to gain rather than being driven by fear.   When we play not to lose, we make decisions rooted in fear, keeping us in our comfort zones. On the other hand, playing to win requires courage—it's about stepping beyond familiar boundaries to pursue what truly matters. You are the leader of your life and business. How you show up creates a powerful ripple effect, influencing everything else—and it all starts with you. Come and join me in this episode of Get Rich Without Being A Bitch!   Enjoy the podcast?

It’s tempting to let these phrases become a shield, protecting us from the discomfort of chasing what truly matters. We often prioritize everything else over our own aspirations.   I’ve been there—juggling an overflowing calendar and wearing my busyness like a badge of honor. But instead of fulfillment, it brought stress and the realization of just how precious time truly is.   We often equate being busy with success, but in reality, it’s often our ego at play. True success comes from recognizing that time is our most valuable asset.   Come and join me in this episode of Get Rich Without Being A Bitch — No More Excuses: Taking Control of Your Time.   Enjoy the podcast?

As women entrepreneurs, how can we shift our mindsets, address our triggers, and overcome fears of disempowering our partners?
