We all have bad habits that we need to break. Recently, I’ve made some small but significant changes to my life to help me break some of my own (like deleting the Amazon and news apps off of my phone because I realized I was in a not-so-healthy relationship with them.) But what you may not realize is that bad habits also affect your business, Big Time. In this week’s episode of FreeMamaTV, I’m listing out the 5 toxic habits that are definitely impacting your bottom line (and not in a good way).

You’ll find some new tricks to help you start ending your days feeling accomplished instead of drained.

You’re rocking your freelancing business and putting a bow on it with all of your clients. You’re “booked out” and you’ve still got leads coming in… Say what?! Yes, it’s a great problem to have, but a problem nonetheless. You want to say yes! You want to grow! You want to make more money and help more people… but your 24 hours a day are maxed out. What if there was a way to keep growing and serving your 1:1 clients at a high level, without dropping any balls or needing more hours in a day? It’s called replacing yourself in your business, and my friend and rockstar agency owner, Tasha Booth has learned to do just that and is teaching you how to do the same. I first met Tasha back in September when I was planning for Freelance to Freedom Weekend. She brought such great energy and knowledge to our virtual event, and people are still talking about her presentation 3 months later! Now, she is hosting her own one-of-a-kind, 2-day retreat where you’ll discover the mindset-work, systems, packages, pricing, and hiring practices it takes to build a thriving agency in FAR less time than you think. And it’s happening January 18-19! During The Replace Yourself Roadmap Retreat, Tasha will highlight everything she used in her own business, The Launch Guild, so you can stop stressing over taking on more client work and finally start delegating! You will learn exactly how to: ✨Ease the transition for clients used to working with just YOU! ✨Hire the right people to support your clients and your vision! ✨Create org charts, SOPs, client onboarding systems, and so much more! ✨Know if you are building an agency OR just a team. ✨”Agency-ify” your offer suite for maximum profit and fun delivery! ✨How to be a great leader and put in the work to build an amazing team The Replace Yourself Roadmap Retreat will give you the tools you need to build an agency so you can scale WITHOUT burning yourself out, adding more hours to the day, or feeling like you’re stuck in an implementation hamster wheel. Is growing an agency your next level in business? Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from my 7-figure agency-owning friend, Tasha.

Do you know the real reason we started a Book Club at The Free Mama?

It isn’t because I loved reading. In fact, at the time I wouldn’t have called myself a reader at all.

But I wanted to be, so we started the Book Club to hold everyone involved accountable and committed to growing and learning.

It’s been over 18 months since we started, and it’s official – I’m a reader! In fact, I’m usually reading 2 books on top of our club choice at any given time!

Was reading more books or upping your personal development game an intention you set for the New Year?

If so, here are some of my favorite books we’ve read in the Squad that have truly changed my life, and I believe could also have the power to change yours.

Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert Start With Why by Simon Sinek   Get Rich Lucky B*tch! by Denise Duffield-Thomas Untamed by Glennon Doyle The Go-Giver by Bob Burg Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown Here’s the deal – if you aren’t a huge fan of reading either, I get it! Try audiobooks or ebooks and see if you prefer a different learning style. If you don’t love to buy them, try your local library. If you’ve got a book I need to add to my list, hit reply and let me know!

My dad is in his 60s and has been a homebuilder his entire adult life.

And still, without fail, at least once a year he will make a comment about how he is still trying to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up.

I tell you this, because….

It’s never too late to reinvent yourself.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

It seems like a silly question to ask an adult, but I think we often find ourselves looking for something that will be both fulfilling and lucrative, that will also work with our lifestyle goals.

Since you’re reading this email, you’ve probably already figured out that virtual work is the path calling your name.

But perhaps you’re not quite sure what that will look like yet?

With the New Year having just begun, I have been thinking a lot about goals.

But it turns out, your goals are not the key to success.

Habits are.

Habits we try to make, like going to the gym more consistently or marketing our business every day.

Habits we try to break, like eating so many sweets (guilty!) or turning on Netflix instead of hitting the sack.

Successful people know that their habits are what get them to their goals. So I wondered – what are the habits successful people share?

I actually came up with TEN! And I put them all in a brand new episode of FreeMamaTV that came out today.

It’s my first new episode in a while, and not to toot my own horn, but I really think it’s worth the watch. Oh!  And make sure you stick around until the end, because I share with you a resource that will help you set your business up for success.
