   [345] Behind the Coaching: 3 Real Business Problems and What It Actually Took to Solve Them

   What if the thing you think is holding your business back isn't actually the problem? You've launched an offer and nobody bought. You've been sitting on a business idea for months waiting for clarity. Or maybe you're ready to make more money, but your business already feels like a LOT to manage. Sound familiar? Here's what I've learned from coaching women in business: the problem you THINK you have isn't always the problem you actually need to solve. In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of three real client coaching situations to show you what happens when we stop throwing more time, energy, and money at a problem and start figuring out what's actually going on. We're talking about a launch that initially generated zero sales, a business owner who was waiting for clarity before taking action, and a client whose systems were quietly holding her back from growing her income. And through each story, I'm showing you how the three pillars I coach through, Strategy, Mindset, and Systems, work together to create meaningful, sustainable business growth. Because sometimes you don't need another offer, another marketing strategy, or another thing on your to-do list. You need to solve the RIGHT problem. In this episode, we're talking about: Why your offer isn't selling: How to identify messaging gaps, customer objections, and missing trust instead of assuming your offer has failed. The importance of nurturing your audience: Why people can be interested in your offer but still not feel ready to buy, and how a private podcast helped one client build trust. How to find clarity in your business: Why waiting for the perfect business idea or offer can keep you stuck, and how strategic action creates clarity. How to scale your business sustainably: Why inefficient systems, manual processes, and limited capacity can hold back your income growth. The connection between business strategy and mindset: How the stories you tell yourself about disappointing results can affect your next decisions. Why business coaching can accelerate growth: How identifying blind spots and solving the right problem can save months of unnecessary work. A little coaching homework for you: Think about one thing in your business that isn't working the way you'd like. Then ask yourself: Strategy: Am I actually working on the right problem? Mindset: What am I believing about this situation, and what might I be avoiding? Systems: Is the way I've built my business making this harder than it needs to be? You might be surprised by what you uncover.

   [344] What Winning My First Championship at 40+ Taught Me About Business

   What does winning my first football championship in my 40s, after playing for 20 years, have to do with building a successful business? Turns out... a LOT. 😂 After two decades of playing football, I finally made it to my first championship game and we freaking won. But this isn't an episode about simply “never giving up” or blindly doing the same thing until it eventually works. Because here's what I realized: Staying in the game matters. But staying in the game doesn't mean staying the same. If I had continued doing exactly what I had been doing, I probably still wouldn't have a championship. I had to make a hard decision. I changed teams. I changed my environment. I put myself around people who approached the game differently. And then I still had to get on the field and do the work. Sound familiar? Because the same thing happens in business. Sometimes we think consistency means doing the same thing over and over again. We put in more reps, create more content, work more hours and tell ourselves to just keep going. But not all action is created equal. Sometimes business growth requires you to stop, look at the evidence and ask whether the strategy you're so committed to is actually taking you where you want to go. In this episode, I'm sharing what 20 years of football taught me about playing the long game in business, knowing when to pivot, taking radical responsibility for your results, choosing the right environment, and taking intentional action toward the things you say you want. We're also talking about why your environment matters more than you might realize. Because just like spending all day at a fish market or a perfume shop... the scent of your environment follows you. And maybe one of the most important questions you can ask yourself as a business owner is: What has become normal in the rooms I'm spending my time in? In this episode, you'll hear: Why playing the long game in business doesn't mean doing the same thing forever The difference between consistency and effective action Why not all action is created equal when you're trying to grow your business How to know when it might be time to change your strategy instead of changing your goal Why I made the hard decision to change football teams after years of playing How your environment can influence your business mindset, standards and actions Why putting yourself in the right room is only part of the equation What taking radical responsibility in business actually looks like Why sometimes you have to stop waiting for the perfect opportunity and go get the freaking ball What winning my first championship in my 40s reminded me about success, ambition and feeling like you're “late” Why you can want MORE without missing the life and business you're living right now If you've been wondering whether you should keep going, pivot your business strategy, change something that isn't working, or simply give yourself more time, this episode is for you. You don't necessarily need to give up on the goal. You might just need to change the way you're going after it. Stay in the game. But don't stay the same. And for goodness sake... enjoy the freaking game while you're playing it. Because most of your life happens between championships. (https://www.ginakeepingtraining.ca/the-business-circle)

   [343] How to Romanticize Your Life (Without Losing Your Ambition)

   How do you slow down and enjoy your life when you're still an ambitious person who wants more? Recently, I was at an event when a woman said something to me that caught me off guard: “You find joy in everything.” And I remember thinking... Yeah. I kind of do. But I worked really hard for that. Because I wasn't always this way. There was a version of me who was constantly moving, achieving and chasing the next goal. And after getting sick, I made a decision that completely changed the way I wanted to experience my life. In this episode, we're talking about how to practice gratitude, romanticize your life, slow down, be more present and actually enjoy the life you're building without giving up your ambition or desire for more. I’m sharing some of the very real shifts I’ve made in my life, business and relationship with money that have helped me stop constantly rushing toward the next thing and start noticing what's already right in front of me. We get into: Why slowing down and practicing gratitude didn't come naturally to me Romanticizing your life beyond the Instagram version of it Money, success and what it actually means to live a rich life Staying present while still having big goals for your life and business Why ambitious women can struggle to enjoy where they are while they're working toward what's next If you're always thinking about the next goal, the next level or the next version of yourself, this episode is for you. Because maybe you don't have to choose between being grateful for where you are and wanting more for where you're going. And maybe, while you're busy trying to get there... this is the good part too.
