Too often, I see coaches launch groups that just don’t fill.

And it has nothing to do with your value or skill as a coach… and usually everything to do with strategy and tactics.

Learn the three points of friction in launching your group program.

No progress comes without a combination of beliefs and thoughts AND intentional action.

But, there’s a difference in the quality of action.

Intentional action during the messy middle where success isn’t immediately apparent….

Versus extractive action designed to keep you hustling, overwhelmed, grasping and burned out.

Our society is obsessed with growing up and to the right.

More revenue, more profit, more followers, more clients, more time freedom.

And conventional business training teaches us how to grow and scale.

But we’re missing the real enabler.

Core values look great on paper or on your website.

But what do those values even mean to you?

And are you placing those values on the shelf, on a piece of paper — or are they truly guiding how you live your life and run your business?

It’s been six months since the beginning of the new year.

Why is 6 months a great time to reset your goals?

The most important part of work is not your “hands-on-keyboard time.”

We think that’s what creates value. And, related to work deliverables, sure, yes, that is important and what’s valuable for your company or client.

But you’re missing the 4 most important parts of your calendar.

If we aim to be the change we wish to see in the world, we have to get comfortable with power.

And particularly for women or marginalized identities, we have been conditioned that power is akin to domination, oppression. But that is only one type of power: power-over.

The true power really IS in the squad.

We recognize that to grow, to bring forth high, hard things into our lives, we have to stretch out of our comfort zones.

But are you stretching into flow? Or into even more anxiety and shut down?

We cultivate excitement and flow when we take on challenge... but just the right amount of challenge.

When growing a business or taking on a goal, we often have to learn new skills.

But we are inundated with information and the “how” to do things. We can get overwhelmed with consuming knowledge - but then have a hard time actually putting that knowledge into practice.

How do you retain and act on more of that knowledge?

How likely are you to take vacation? To actually block the time to take time off, away from your work, and take a break?

Vacations, particularly those involving travel, aren’t accessible to everyone.

So how can we, in whatever circumstances are available to us, take our birthright time to rest, digest, and reflect?

There are personality tests and strengths assessments galore. And they can be very helpful to put language around our gifts, our strengths, our geniuses.

But what they lack? 

How to use our gifts in context. How to best use your gifts given the circumstances surrounding you, like company culture, company growth stage or your personal role.

Spring Cleaning might just be the most important task in your business that you aren’t doing.

Cleaning and decluttering seems like drudgery, like avoiding the “real” priorities that create traction and not being “productive”. Isn’t it more productive to be doing something?

But when we are clogged with the detritus of old - physically, emotionally, spiritually, socially - we have no space for moving forward.

We’ve been taught that working harder is the answer.

But working HARDER without focus and clarity simply leads to burnout.

What would you be working on? Why are you working on those tasks, to what end?

We don’t need to have the ultimate direction, the full picture of our dharma. Simply a path of next steps to take to guide us in a path of experimentation.

Kourtney is a more seasoned business owner. Kourtney is in Spiritual Overwhelm. And in need of Radical Reclamation. But this is the reality of being human.

Consistent growth, consistent bloom is unsustainable for us - and for our environment. We are seasonal, cyclical creatures. We ebb and flow, create and rest.

We must learn to listen to the whispers of our souls and follow the glimmers of our intuition, in part *because* we don’t know the outcome. We don’t know what magic is possible on the other side.**

This is a radical reclamation.

Strategic Planning and Project Planning process to break out of overwhelm and make progress to your goals.

One question, “What should I do next?”

Three personas who are all fierce business owners, but each of them are struggling with how to move forward.

We want to keep the momentum going in our businesses - without burning out.

We want to build consistent practices to nurture and tend our business. You don’t need to do ALL THE THINGS all the time. However, these are 5 practices I hope show up on your calendar each month because it keeps consistent, sustainable movement.

You’ve made your vision board, set your goals, declared your intentions, wrote your commitments down and maybe told your business besties your plans. Cheers! That’s step 1.

But then the path diverges. And we have to choose 1 path forward…
