IN THIS EPISODE 0:20 Fun fact for ya, did you know that in the 1800s people used to wipe their booties with corn husks and catalogs. I know, crazy right? There was no such thing as toilet paper? You know who thought that it would be a good idea to invent some? The Scott Brothers. The creators and inventors of Scott Tissue. I tell you this because I was watching the story of how they got their product into the marketplace and it was so fascinating. 1:10 It was way back when and bathroom conversations were considered obscene. Nobody talked about their bathroom habits. It was totally taboo. 2:10 The Scott Brothers are like "This is the most amazing thing ever. Everyone's going to love this, except how do you tell people about it when it's completely taboo?" They had to get creative. They had to invent ways to get their product in front of consumers without ever saying a word about it. 2:32 We talk about marketing our product, we talk about pitching ourselves, being able to sell savvy without feeling sleezy. All

Nicole helps subject matter experts increase their visibility exponentially through podcast guesting to create greater impact, influence and income. We're all about that over here, right? We're about to find out why industry superstars consider her a genius at what she does. And legit I can vouch for that. 1:15 As you know, in the podcasting world, I'm gonna say it gently, you get a lot of pitches that you can tell that people don't even know who you are. Your approach to this industry is so different. 6:09 I think still that that background really is what makes you more effective in business especially with what you're doing now. You're connecting people. So you have a connection service and you connect guests to podcast hosts and the way that you do it Nicole, no one else does. 7:15 Let's just start with how you got into this space in the first place. I've always been a natural connect

IN THIS EPISODE 2:16 If you're in business and you have ever felt unsupported by your family members, this episode is for you cause we're gonna talk about that today. It happens. It is one of those little things that you just can't avoid all of the time and you can't always change everybody else. You can't make them get you. You can't make them understand you and support you, but what you can do is learn how to roll with the punches and understand what it is that they're thinking and feeling so that you can approach these family members in the right way. You can keep moving forward toward your goals,  your ambitions and dreams in business in a really healthy way. You can feel amazing while doing it because what we don't want is for you to give up on your dreams and let go and talk yourself out of going for the gusto just because you're afraid of outshining somebody or hurting their feelings and what they might say. 3:18 So you are working on yourself; you're doing a little bit of mindset work; you're working

IN THIS EPISODE 3:30 I always ask for one fun fact and you shared with us that you were in a German music video. Can we talk about that? 3:50 When I was 14, when I was a bit younger, I was a drum majorette. I'm not sure if you know what that is but it's basically kind of like the kids in a marching band. Now we do drum majorettes like a competitive sport. So I was doing that at the time and I was into acting, you know everyone wants to be a singer and actress, so you kind of sign up for all of those agencies and things. Surprisingly they were looking for someone with that kind of skill, so I went to an audition and we did it in Capetown. The band ended up choosing me and it was an absolutely amazing experience. We shot the music video in Capetown because it was cheaper for the German company to do it in South Africa. But they actually, like surprisingly, these are things that you don't know at the time, but they were actually a #1 German band. They actually reached #1 on the German MTV awards and I actually g

IN THIS EPISODE 1:47 Is mindset tripping you up? Is it a problem? Is it a disease or is it the symptom? And more specifically your money mindset. I want to just dig in and answer some questions, address some confusion around money mindset. 2:11 We've all said it, we've all thought it. We've all read books about it. You've done work, right? I know you have. I know it's been on your mind because at some point you questioned yourself. You said, "You know what if I'm not quite making the money I want and I'm focused on it; I'm doing all the things. My money mindset must be jacked," right? 2:42 Money mindset is a layer of your mindset. It is more of a symptom than the problem or disease itself. 4:08 You do the work on it. You heal your relationship with money as if it's another being, an external thing, right?  You're gonna be nice to it and your gonna respect it. And all these things are important. 100%. 4:23 You're going to have a healthier relationship with it, not fear looking it in the face. Meaning not fear

Is your strategy not working repeatedly? Or maybe a launch hasn't worked again? Where is your mindset, and do you need help with that mindset? Where is your mindset, and do you need help with that mindset? Is it time to make switch something that you're doing and make it better? Check out this episode. IN THIS EPISODE 0:16 We're getting into mindset and how it applies to the strategy of your business. If you've been in business for a while, you've got a plan - that's all strategy is right, a plan. Let's take and apply some real-world examples to this. A personal trainer - why did you get one? You might not have known how to meet your physical fitness goal, or you needed that personal accountability. It's probably come up to you in the area of meal planning. If I want to eat healthily, I need to plan ahead and make a good choice. It's helpful to have that plan in place. When it comes to business - content marketing. What happens if you don't have a marketing plan in place? You sit down at your desk and say hmm

We all have moments where we want something perfect. But when you're a perfectionist like me, it's something that can become crippling. I'm digging into this perfectionism today so come join me for a pep talk. IN THIS EPISODE 1:46 So you're a little bit of a perfectionist? Yeah, me too. When I make my bed in the morning, everything has to be perfect. It shows up multiple times in my business and if I'm working on something new, I want it to be perfect. I get all bent out of shape before I release something and want it to be perfect before I do that. It's because I set my standards really high, and I hit it because I'm an overachiever. We hit that standard and we look at that in hindsight and say that it wasn't that bad and then keep raising the bar. And that's positive. 3:45 The bad side of that is when we're actually going through it, when we're getting ready to present our new thing to everyone, we have a serious fear of failure. Have you seen the new Always commercial? It's about when girls hit puberty, th

We all have money mindset issues that we are consistently working to improve, yes, even me. In my latest challenge, I helped others to identify their mindset issues and work through them - this is what we found out and how you can work through your mindset blocks too. IN THIS EPISODE 0:27 I'm going to give feedback from the recent Money Mindset challenge we just completed in the Profit Party Facebook group. We switch this up depending on what people need help with, whether it's goals, the way we think about money, the way we step out and go into the next step in business. Well, that's my jam and that's what I love to help you figure out and that's what we did last week. When we got to the point where we needed to take action and implement, that's the hardest part. When it comes to implementation, we did a little bit of goal setting, looked at what's not serving us and something that doesn't require a lot of actions. 2:14 As soon as you take a step out of your comfort zone, it's like the life jacket comes off

She's a Brit, currently living in Korea with her Military hubby and two young kiddos. Due to their ever changing lifestyle, she's created a location-independent business that allows her to the mom, wife and business owner that she wants to be.

Self-service is important not just for you, but for those around you. Join me in this episode to refresh your mindset in how taking care of yourself is actually helping those in your life. IN THIS EPISODE 0:20 It is awesome to have you here today. Because you're here and because I love you and because I want you to take care of yourself, we're going to talk about self-service. How to nurture your tribe by taking care of yourself first. 0:46 Let me tell you what I mean - so often we are people pleasers. That's our primary concern and we are empathetic. We can tell the emotions of other people and tend to pick those up. You might be on the phone with someone and they aren't saying something, but you know something is wrong. You end up asking them what's going on and then end up offering your gift of time or doing something outside of your zone of genius. You want to help them out so you end up working on something like tech. Samantha Johnston is the one you want to call, not me. But clients have asked me and I

Hey gorgeous! Are you charging enough for what you're doing? Chances are, probably not. I'd love to talk you through three mindset changes you need to make to charge more and feel good about it! IN THIS EPISODE 0:18 What excuses are you making as to why you are not charging what you should be for what you're doing? Think about it for a second - how are you justifying your not charging enough? Most women are not charging what they should be and we're over delivering and under charging. Some ladies have it and charge what they're worth, however, most are not. This is more about mindset than anything else. It has everything to do with wanting to serve and take care of our clients and customers, but often we put profitability on the back burner. We need the assurance and validation that everyone else is happy and it doesn't matter if we aren't making money. 1:47 You don't have to choose. You can have a really profitable business and have everyone happy at the same time. So when it comes to going out and charging

If you think you need a sales funnel, you might be right OR you might be wrong. Listen to this episode to see if you need to do more work in your business before you build a funnel and spend money on courses. IN THIS EPISODE 0:33 Today we're going to talk about why you don't need a sales funnel. With all this talk of funnels, or if I have one more person who comes to me and says the reason why I'm not making money is that my funnels aren't working. No, there were no sales funnels 20 years ago. Before you can really implement a sales funnel is you have to have relationships, and you have to have something that people want. 1:56 It's an amazing tool to implement something that is already working. There are so many women who don't have anything to sell and they're learning how to make a funnel. And why? It's a mindset issue. It's laziness, they're afraid to have a conversation with their ideal client and find out what they really want and maybe they'll get answers they aren't prepared for. 2:55 It might mean you

What do you do when you see things that make you fearful, when you hear things that keep you down and discouraged, and feel things that reaffirm your fear or anxiety? In this episode of the Profit Party Podcast, I address how these things you see, hear and feel are limiting beliefs and they can keep you stuck. But, I also talk about how to move past them. You need to listen to this episode. IN THIS EPISODE 0:19 Thanks for joining me today! Today we're going to talk about how to tune into those limiting beliefs that stir up inside us and keep us from moving forward. A limiting belief is a lie we tell ourselves to keep us safe. That's a lie that tells you that it's not safe to take that next step or pitch that podcast. It's not safe to go to that event or start that business. It's not safe to put yourself out there. We could go on and on all day. There's something you know you should be doing but you can't. These limiting beliefs keep you safe and help keep you stuck in the same patterns. That's what your subco

What does S&M have to do with your money relationship? A whole lot more than what you would think. Join me to talk about S&M and getting comfy with your money. Because we all want to have a good relationship with money. IN THIS EPISODE 0:20 Are you into S&M? WHAT! Yes, we are talking about S&M. But about money. It has a lot more to do with money than you think. S&M (Servant and Master) is deriving pleasure from pain. If you've seen 50 Shades of Gray, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, you need to see it because it's amazing. 1:16 It's not about the orgasm, it's an emotional release of sorts. That's the interesting thing about money, in the long run, what we do with money, we get pleasure from that release that lights us up. It's the release of letting go of the control of money in that moment when we buy something. Either way, it's pleasure seeking and pain avoidance in the moment. 2:29 You are a dominant when it comes to money - you most likely spend because you like to feel

Do you believe in coincidences or do you think random things just happen? In this episode, I am talking about coincidences, or in my opinion, the universe talking to you. Join the conversation with me. IN THIS EPISODE 0:17 Do you believe in coincidences? Are the things that happen around us coincidence or is it our inner guidance system telling us we're going to be ok? Or gently nudging us to get back on our path? 0:58 The other day I was having kind of a funky day and I was all in my head. I had a conversation with my husband but at a point, he said he wasn't sure what was happening in my head. I felt better after talking to him, but still a little bit in my head. I decided to submerse myself in cooking dinner and turn on the radio. I turned on Pandora and the song on the radio was Christina Perry's 1,000 Years. My husband looked at me and noticed it. That's the song I played at my stepmother's funeral and I'm choosing to believe that's her saying that you're doing enough. 2:42 I want to know, is it just me

The universe only knows yes. But what does that mean? It means that the universe agrees with the vibrations you're putting out. So how do you change that? Well listen to this podcast and allow me to explain it to you. IN THIS EPISODE 0:18 You know that your words have a profound effect on creating the reality you desire, but it's more than just words, it's telling the universe what you desire. You can tell people that you want more money but your vibrations are not sending out that same message to the universe. If you say that you can't afford it or you feel poor and you're living in lack, well honey, that's what you're going to get. 1:25 Your vibration attracts what you want. if you want something, you need to change your vibration. The universe only knows yes, and it has to agree with the vibration that you are putting out. 2:20 If you consistently say you're broke or you are using coupons and scrimping, the universe is going to say yes, you're right, one order of poverty coming up. This also can take place

We've all been there - days where you're going along doing your thing, running your business and then you have an encounter that makes you SO mad. What do you do? How do you respond when you get stuck in the rut of negativity?  IN THIS EPISODE 0:34 Today we're talking about what to do when you're having a bad day. You have a business to run, your kids are driving you nuts and you just got off a bad phone call. It happens. You're not alone. Even those of us who have the tools to keep a positive mindset have a bad day. 1:26 There's going to be people who suck your energy that put you in a bad mood.  1:40 This is about arming you with the skills to shift your focus so you don't let others ruin your day. I'm not going to let it ruin my mood or my productivity. Here are 3 things to do when you have a negative encounter. 2:32 Take 5-minutes to be mad. I personally have a heavy bag and I love my heavy bag because I can go and beat this thing. It doesn't take 5 minutes but give yourself the full time to acknowledge i

Tonya answers a question from a listener in this episode relating to pricing your first offering and how mindset has a lot to do with how your price yourself and your offerings.  Do you have the same question about how you should price your offerings? Listen now for some great tips! IN THIS EPISODE 0:17 Are you ready for some Q & A today? I had a listener send in a question today and it felt wrong to not share it with you because it was SO good. The question is about creating your offer and it had so many mindset issues in it that I had to bullet point each thought. 1:36 You can do this and you can start making money doing something you love in your business. 1:46 Her question is: I'm not sure how to structure my offering. My main thing is that I love recording music, but when I think of "selling" my music, I think of being forced to go on tour to make money (ugghh!) Having to give away all my songs (or they get pirated) or charging like $5000 per song which I am not sure why someone would pay that especi
