Chill & Prosper with Denise Duffield-Thomas

SO JUICY! Ever wondered what it costs to run a multi-million dollar business?   In today's podcast, I take you behind the scenes and share the real costs from my company. 

If you’re stuck at a plateau or want to move to the next income level, it starts with exploring your unconscious beliefs about why you can’t earn more.    Are there unwritten rules about what you are and aren’t allowed to earn? Maybe there are unconscious limits from your parents, industry, or mentors.   In today’s podcast episode, I discuss how to acclimate to higher revenue and the steps you can take to be open to expanding beyond what you thought was possible.   

This week's episode of Chill & Prosper is an Ask Me Anything, and in addition to talking about getting your partner or potential partner on board, I also dive deep into how you can:  Discover powerful techniques to manifest and chase after your biggest dreams.  Learn strategies to conquer self-doubt and eliminate limiting beliefs.  Uncover the secrets to improving productivity through delegation and automation.  Find out how writing a book can be fulfilling and advantageous for your business. 

I can't believe how far I've come since those early days when I decided to dive headfirst into entrepreneurship.    It feels like a lifetime ago when I was fumbling through writing my first ebook, teaching myself how to build webpages, and trying to navigate the ever-changing online landscape.   But there's something magical about being a newbie, filled with boundless energy and the willingness to adapt and experiment.    Today I'm answering a question I get asked all the time - what if I had to start again from scratch?    What would I focus on? What lessons have I learned along the way that I would apply to starting again?

I’ve never met someone who doesn’t feel like a fraud or imposter, at least some of the time.  Myself included.   But the thing about imposter syndrome, especially in business, is that it feels so lonely. It feels real, and we often tell ourselves that no one else feels this way.   So on today’s podcast, I’m sharing some times when I’ve felt like a fraud and my tips for overcoming imposter syndrome.

Having a business plan is one of those important prerequisites for starting a business that they teach in business school - Right?    But do you really need one? What's the best way to do a business plan? Is there a Chill and Prosper way?   As someone who was never really good at assignments, writing a business plan always felt like boring homework. Plus, my ADHD and procrastination meant I never got around to it.    Maybe you're like me and don't want to take the time to plan because you're too busy taking action.   Please don't procrastinate starting your business because you're waiting for the perfect plan.  It's totally fine not to have a business plan, but you do need to have a rough idea of where you're going, so I've got some alternatives for you.

This episode of the Chill & Prosper podcast is all about timing.     For this Ask Me Anything episode, I'm answering a bunch of questions on the theme of knowing when it's the right time to make a change in your business.

Hi there,    Is there a salary that’s deemed “appropriate” in your industry?    Or common beliefs about what you “should” be charging?    Does your industry have money blocks that are creating barriers for everyone?    In today’s podcast episode, we look at which professions have the biggest money blocks and explore the common blocks that could affect your industry. 

On today's podcast, we're talking about juggling business and family.    Variations on this theme are the most common questions I've been getting recently;   How to juggle business with having kids?  How to prepare your business for having kids? What changes in your business when you have kids? How to balance being a CEO and a Mom?   But even if you don't have kids, you'll get a lot out of this episode. The strategies I share will help you be a better CEO regardless of your family situation.  

In my recent survey, our community told me that hiring was one of the top challenges you face in your businesses.    Hiring is such a big pain point for many, and I know you've got a lot of questions about it - how to hire your first assistant, who to hire next, and who's on my team.  Who to hire and when is a big decision, so in this podcast episode, I'm explaining how the Money Archetype framework can help you build the dream team you deserve.
