“Less Is More” Training with Kathryn Jones


I want to invite you to something I am pumped about!

I invited my virtual BFF and Free Mama Live speaker, Kathryn Jones, to do a special training for all of us…

“The Less Is More Training,” where she’s going to show you her method for taking less time to make more money, needing less clients to have higher profit margins and (my favorite), how to have less to-do’s in your business and more freedom




Did you catch that?

Less time, more money
Less clients, higher profit margins
Less to-do’s, more freedom

The best thing about this training is it is going to be very tangible.

She’ll be teaching you her methodology for developing a specific skillset and business model that does these things.

So, my only question for you is this…

Do you want to spend less time to make more money?
Do you want to deal with less clients and still get higher profit margins?
Would you like less tasks to complete in your business and more freedom?

If you answered yes to any of those, this training is for you.

Also, whenever Kathryn and I get together it’s just a fun time so really, come hang out with us.

The “Less Is More” training is happening Wednesday, April 6th at 1pm CT (2pm ET) in our Facebook group!

Make sure you RSVP on the event page and tell us in the group if you’re coming.

See you there!

When the party’s over


Last weekend’s Free Mama Live event was so incredible!

It was truly life-changing to be able to hang out with Free Mamas in real life…

…and talk about what it takes to breakthrough from self-employed to a true freedom business.

I wanted to share with you some of the most memorable moments!

Mamas traveled to Kansas City from all over the country, and dozens more joined us virtually, to discover exactly what to do to bring in more revenue while being your most free self and without working all the time.

A special shout out to speaker/sponsor Jordan Gill from Systems Saved Me who taught her VIP Day framework. I found out today that one of our participants has already made over $7k this week following what she learned at the event!

I am so grateful to all of our event partners, speakers, and attendees, and will be watching this video on repeat reliving our few days together until we meet again.

If I’m honest, leading up to the event I told my team not to let me do another Free Mama Live. I just didn’t know if I had it in me to do again.

It takes soooo much planning and hard work to host an event of this caliber!

After the magic of this weekend I couldn’t bear the thought of not being able to do this again with you. It’s kind of like having a baby – labor is a lot, but totally worth it in the end… plus, you sort of forget how hard it was after some time passes 

So when we got back to work on Tuesday, I asked my team to contact the hotel immediately and save the dates for next year.

That’s right, we will be back in Kansas City from April 27-29, 2023!

If you’re also counting down the days to another Free Mama family reunion, or if the highlights on social media left you feeling major FOMO, I invite you to sign up for some seriously special early early bird pricing to lock in your spot.

Can’t wait until next year!

Are you a YOU fan?

What does it mean to show up for yourself?

To me, it most often looks like keeping myself accountable to the things I say I’m going to do. When you’re self-employed, there’s no boss telling you what to do!
But it isn’t just about being the CEO of your business. It’s also about being your own biggest cheerleader, supporter, and advocate.

In order for your business to last and grow, you need to be able to cheer yourself on and show up for yourself during the highs and lows.

If you struggle with this, you won’t want to miss this week’s episode of FreeMamaTV.

You’ve got this!

We’re almost 3 months into 2022.
If you’re looking for a Quarter 2 come back don’t skip this email, because we have tons of good stuff coming at you from FreeMamaTV this month!

1. How to say NO without feeling guilty

You started your business because you were tired of someone (ahem, your boss) always telling you what to do and where to be.

You want to serve people on your own terms, but you also want to over-deliver for your clients so you find yourself slipping into your old people-pleasing ways.
 That’s why on this week’s episode of FreeMamaTV I am breaking down how to figure out what your boundaries are, how to say “NO” to your clients, and how to feel good doing it.

2. How to EARN MORE in your business while working less

You read that right. It’s not too good to be true, I promise.

I actually do it myself following the 5 step formula I’m going to walk you through in this video.

If you are ready to catapult your income by developing systems and automations that allow you to make money while you’re on vacation or asleep, this episode of FreeMamaTV is for you!

3. How to track prospects in your business to convert more leads

You need clients. You need help staying organized. You need to make sure your networking efforts pay off. You need a leads tracker.

Tracking your leads is not only an effective way to make sure you are reaching the right people, but it also saves you time so you can reach more of the right people intentionally.

In this episode of FreeMamaTV, I am showing you how to keep track of prospective clients for your business so that you can move them through the customer journey and stop leaving money on the table!

I don’t want you to miss out for two very simple reasons…

We’re giving away 3 brand-new, limited-edition Free Mama swag items to anyone who signs up for a virtual ticket by Monday (the deadline to register!)
This event WILL change your life

I’m serious. Don’t take my word for it though.

Here are a few things Free Mamas have said about this event…

  “I can’t believe I was going to skip the retreat last year and “try again next year”. That would have been really silly. My life forever changed in that conference room.” – Casey

  “A game-changer. I’m so happy I invested in myself and my business.” – Vai

 “I have never been more motivated and empowered by a group of women in my life.” – Jasmin

If you’re in any way considering joining us for Free Mama Live this year (or if you’ve come in the past and no longer think this applies to you), do yourself a favor and ATTEND TODAY’S Q&A.

I believe in you. I want you to hit your financial goals AND live a totally awesome life. But you can’t do that if you’re overwhelmed, stuck, or confused when it comes to growing your business.

You’re still going to have to work. But work A LOT less, for A LOT more money.

And we will get you there in a fraction of the time. Isn’t that worth the cost of a ticket? (It’s going to cost you a lot more to not attend.)

Secret Free Mama Live sneak peek…

Last year was my hardest year in business (for reference, I’ve been self-employed for 7 years.)

I felt so isolated. I didn’t know anyone in my “real life” who understood and was embarrassed to even share some of my struggles with my internet BFFs until it felt too late to even do something about it.

I often questioned why I was finally starting to be seen and acknowledged as an expert at the exact same time that I was feeling like such a failure and wondered if I should keep it up, or if I wanted to at all.

If you ever feel like this, I want you to know that you CAN turn things around.

This week I dropped an exclusive 3-part podcast series showing you exactly what it takes to start, run and grow a virtual business. More importantly, I shared with you what’s necessary to do it with FREEDOM at the forefront.

If you enjoyed the podcasts, you will LOVE what we’ve got in store for you at Free Mama Live.

We are getting into the crunchy tactics of how to build a lifestyle-based business, which means insight into how to set up recurring, semi-passive, and multiple revenue streams  all without burnout or spinning in circles.

To get ready for Free Mama Live, I’m hopping in the Facebook group tomorrow at 10am CT (11am ET, 9am MT, 8am PT) to show you a behind the scenes of what you can expect if you join us virtually!

Oh, and since we kick off the event next week, the podcast and BTS won’t be available for long.

RSVP here!

[Ep 3] 5 steps


If you are like most of the women who come into my world, you started your virtual business to be able to quit your job and work from home.

Somewhere between clients 1 and 4, you realized, holy moly, I am freaking amazing! I can do this! I can make money! I can make a difference!

And so you started dreaming bigger.

You set higher financial goals.
You clarified your ideal client (usually after working with a couple of crappy ones).
You narrowed your focus and really learned how to be pretty awesome at just a few things.

Still, you realized that you are pretty maxed out, and don’t have any more time or energy to give.

Stuck sucks.

How will you make more money without compromising everything you literally just created for yourself, and can you get it up and running before burnout hits?
.



What if I told you that you can increase your income while also working fewer hours?

It’s not too good to be true, I promise.

I’ve actually done it myself.

In the 3rd and final episode of the Put the FREE back in Free Mama Exclusive Podcast Series, I am giving you the 5 steps to do it, too.

This is by far the most practical episode this week, so get your notepad ready to rock and roll.

These exact steps took me from covering the bills each month to paying off two cars and all of our credit card debt in one year. Oh, and the following year I traveled each and every month!

NO debt. Monthly vacations. How freeing is that?

It’s time for you to reach freedom status in your business.

[Ep 2] Would you pay this much? 

Did the pandemic send you into survival mode?

And now, here we are 2 years later, and moms, teachers, nurses, and pretty much everyone with a pulse is still burning at both ends.

By the end of 2021 I was so emotionally and energetically drained by people and problems that weren’t serving me, that I was OUT.

But rather than throw in the towel completely, I looked around and cut everything in my business that wasn’t working.

If it wasn’t making me money, it was out
If it wasn’t making a difference, it was out
If it wasn’t making me happy, I was out.
.



Deciding to cut these things wasn’t the hardest part – actually cutting them was.

I was so afraid to do the big, scary things required of me to claim my own freedom and get my business back into alignment for me and my goals.

In Episode #2 of the Put the FREE Back in Free Mama Exclusive Podcast Series, I am going to share:

✔️What you have to do if you ever find yourself at rock bottom
✔️Exactly how I trimmed down all of the areas of my business that were no longer serving me (including my most expensive offer!)How to trust yourself, even when you’re going against the status quo, getting name called, or pissing people off
✔️The only number that actually matters in business
✔️When you are willing to put the time and effort into facing uncomfortable challenges, having difficult conversations, and growing in alignment with your values, the result can be life-changing!

[Ep 1] I almost burned it to the ground

It’s either going to be freaking awesome or I’m not doing it at all.

Have you said this to yourself?

You see yourself, or at least your business, as either a massive success or a complete failure.

You have this image of a picture-perfect business in your mind, an unattainable goal and you’re worried about not knowing each and every step to get there… so you do nothing.

And when you do make progress, you often don’t celebrate your wins, because you tell yourself you should be farther ahead by now.

Is this you?
.



I used to think like this too – black and white, all or nothing. In fact, when things got hard in 2021 I almost walked away from it all because if it wasn’t working anymore, then why bother? Blow it up 🔥🔥🔥

The good news is that I did NOT blow up The Free Mama.

I did, however, go through a massive identity shift, and I came out the other side feeling more inspired than ever!

But 2021 was hard.

I had to shed what I believed made me a success to the outside world because it wasn’t fulfilling on the inside.

I had to trust my own instincts, even when my inner critic was screaming “failure!”

I had to learn that I am a success and I have absolutely nothing to prove (or fear).

The result?

I feel freer than ever. I am clearly aligned in my values and beliefs. I’m sleeping better and feel less anxious. I’m working less and I’m still making money!

I created the Put the FREE Back in Free Mama Exclusive Podcast Series to be the business-bestie in your pocket that you seriously need right now.

Over the next 3 days, I’m going to break down my break down, and then give you the exact same steps I used to go from maxed out on time to 7 figure Free Mama (and paid off ALL our debt in one year!) that I’m implementing again right now.

Episode 1 is now LIVE and there is no sugar coating here.

You’ll hear all the behind-the-scenes of how 2021 was my LEAST profitable year in business to date, and the drastic decisions I made to do to turn things around.
