• TSA Weekly Podcast Ep 12 | The Most Exhausting Thing
    Nov 18 2024

    Welcome back to the TSA Weekly Podcast! Today, we’re taking a closer look at a quote that resonates with so many introverts in business: "The most exhausting thing in life is being insincere." This line from Anne Morrow Lindbergh got me reflecting on my journey as an introvert entrepreneur—especially all the moments I felt pressured to be something I’m not just to “fit in” or follow the advice of others.

    In this episode, I get real about why certain types of networking and sales tactics drain us and share how I’ve learned to find more authentic ways to connect with my audience. From my early days as a voice teacher to founding Tech Savvy Academy, I walk through the trials, errors, and lessons learned about aligning your business methods with who you genuinely are.

    Are you an introvert or an extrovert? What gives you energy, and what drains it? This episode offers a lot for anyone looking to build a business that doesn’t require leaving your true self at the door.

    Nov 11 2024

    In this week's episode of TSA Weekly, we tackle a common frustration among entrepreneurs: the one-size-fits-all approach. Inspired by Carl Jung’s quote, "The shoe that fits one person pinches another," we dive into why generic solutions often fail to work for unique individuals and businesses.

Instead, she emphasizes the importance of creating customized solutions that align with your personality and business values.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • Why one-size-fits-all solutions fall short for most business owners

    • The value of building processes that fit your unique approach and needs

  • TSA Weekly Podcast Ep 09 | What Breaks Your Heart?
    Oct 28 2024

    In this week’s episode of the TSA Weekly Podcast, I’m doing something a little different. Instead of a quote, we’re diving into a thought-provoking video I came across on Instagram featuring Rory Vaden. We talk about the importance of identifying what truly breaks your heart and how that can guide the direction of your business—especially for solopreneurs who sometimes struggle to find their niche.

    We cover how your passion, values, and beliefs can shape a business that you’re excited about and serve a community that needs what you offer. I also share my personal take on how technology, or the fear of it, is what breaks my heart and led me to create Tech-Savvy Academy.

    Make sure to tune in, reflect on what breaks your heart, and drop your thoughts in the comments! Let's make business easier and more intentional together.

Whether you're solving small problems for your clients, building an authentic community, or simply making incremental changes in your daily habits, every small action counts. I explore how you can create more efficiency in your business, the importance of returning every handshake as you grow your audience, and how tiny habit shifts can lead to big results.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Small actions in your business can lead to a huge impact.

    • Building strong community connections, one handshake at a time.

    • The power of small, consistent changes in creating successful habits.

  • TSA Weekly Podcast Ep 06 | If It Doesn't Scare You
    Oct 7 2024

    “The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. If your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough.” -Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

    In today’s episode, we unpack this famous quote.

    As entrepreneurs, especially heart-led solopreneurs, we often face the challenge of balancing big dreams with the realities of running a business. I’ll be sharing my personal thoughts on why this quote inspires ambition but also how it can be taken too far when used as a push for unsustainable growth.

    You’ll hear me talk about:

    • Why pursuing big goals provides a sense of purpose.

    • The importance of stepping out of your comfort zone but avoiding burnout.

    • How solopreneurs can navigate scary goals like managing sales, tech, and delegation.

    • When motivation turns into pressure—and how to avoid that trap.

    Join the conversation by sharing your thoughts: Have you heard this quote before? How do you interpret it? Is there a balance between dream-chasing and staying grounded?

  • TSA Weekly Podcast Ep 05 | Size Doesn't Matter
    Sep 30 2024

    As solopreneurs, it’s easy to fall into the trap of comparison, especially with social media making it simple to focus on vanity metrics like follower count. But does a large following really equal success? In this episode, I’m breaking down why it’s not the size of your audience that matters, but the depth of your connection with them. Inspired by a quote from Pat Flynn’s Superfans, I share why a small, engaged community is far more powerful than a massive, disconnected audience. If you're tired of feeling like you need more followers to be successful, this one's for you!

    Key Takeaways:

    • A smaller, engaged audience can be more impactful than a large, disengaged one.

    • Social media numbers don’t define the success of your business.

    • Pat Flynn’s concept of the "Relationship Pyramid" is a game-changer for understanding audience engagement.

    • How I’m shifting my focus from vanity metrics to authentic connections with my community.

    Resources Mentioned:

    • Superfans by Pat Flynn
