Hi, it's my 33rd birthday today! 🎉 Yay for being alive. I wanted to write some poignant tribute to lessons I've learned this year, growth I've experienced, yadda yadda. But the truth is... I'M TIRED. I've got nothing clever to say. Today I am getting a massage and chilling the F out. So here's what I've got for you: If you're an American citizen, VOTE 🇺🇸 Get your friends and family to vote. Vote like your life depends on it. For many people, it does. What I really want for my birthday is a new president. Thank you in advance, Courtney P.S. I also kindly request that Google change their icons back.

⚡ ADHD is my superpower ⚡⠀ ⠀ ADHD isn't black and white. And it doesn't mean my brain is broken. It simply means I think differently than other people do.⠀ ⠀ I used to think ADHD was just little boys running around and being rambunctious in class. So not in a million years did I think I would I fit into that category! ⠀ ⠀ Until I did a little more homework and got officially diagnosed with ADHD.⠀ ⠀ ADHD is so much more than a little kid who can't sit still. It's a hyperactive brain. And sometimes it's not hyperactivity at all! ⠀ ⠀ For years I felt like something was missing within me. I felt stuck and like something was holding me back but I couldn't figure out what it was. ⠀ ⠀ Until I got diagnosed with ADHD and it all clicked. 🤯⠀ ⠀ In my latest episode of the Yay for Business podcast I share my journey to diagnosis, the struggles I have with ADHD and also the incredible positives that my ADHD brain has brought to my life. ⠀ ⠀ If you're curious about ADHD or suspect you may have it too (entrepreneurs are 300% more likely to have ADHD!), listen to my latest episode on your podcast app of choice or through the link in my bio! ⠀ ⠀ 🎧 Listen to the episode now - link in bio! 🎧⠀ ⠀ ⚠️ Note: I am not a medical professional and everything I say in this episode is based on my own experience. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #yayforbusiness #girlpreneur #femaleentrepreneurlife #accountabilitypartner #businesscoachingforwomen #womenentrepreneurship #businessgrowthstrategy #goalsetters #beingboss #yayforbusiness #podcastsofinstagram #podcastshow #podcastlife#podcasthost #podcastlove #newpodcast #applepodcast #businesspodcast #entrepreneurpodcast⠀ #adhd #adhdawareness #adhdproblems #adhdmemes #adhdlife #adhdwomen #adhdcoaching #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #adhdbrain #mentalhealthquotes

Are you feeling burned out? 🔥⠀ ⠀ Are you spending so much time on client work you can’t actually work ON your business? 🕜⠀ ⠀ Your revenue depends 100% on you personally doing client work. You’ve reached an income plateau you don’t know how to overcome. And you want to serve more clients but you don’t know how without literally cloning yourself.⠀ ⠀ 🙋 Yeah, I know the feeling.⠀ ⠀ My income had plateaued at $3-5K per month and I had no clue what to do except work HARDER.⠀ ⠀ And yet, I was only ONE person. How much harder could I work? ⠀ ⠀ 💣 The truth: Right now you are “working harder” in all the wrong ways.⠀ ⠀ You are saying yes to non-ideal clients, which causes more stress and less money. You are NOT offering one signature service, which leads to major inefficiency. And your current sales process is time consuming and unpredictable.⠀ ⠀ But don’t worry. You’re in good company.⠀ ⠀ Most of our Yay for 100K™ clients started in the exact same place.⠀ ⠀ 👉 One of our clients, a web designer, decided she only wanted to give her clients ONE revision of her work. Constant revisions and delays are a common frustration for designers. At first, she didn’t think it was possible to only allow ONE revision (with strict deadlines). She was convinced that the clients would complain and want more revisions. ⠀ ⠀ I knew otherwise 😉⠀ ⠀ ➡️ Swipe to see her success after just two weeks in Yay for 100K™.⠀ ⠀ ➡️ ➡️ Keep swiping to see what happened next! ⠀ ⠀ The ROI on Yay for 100K™ is no joke. It’s not a DIY course. It’s not a 1:1 service. It’s an entire ecosystem of support to help you implement a proven strategy by giving you the step-by-step AND the coaching you need to make it happen.⠀ ⠀ Yay for 100K is my 12 month, high-touch coaching program where you will learn how to add $100K of revenue to your business by streamlining and refining your signature service and turning it into your scaleable signature program!⠀ ⠀ 🌟 Want to see how Yay for 100K™ could work for your business?⠀ ⠀ 🌟 Want to increase your revenue without working harder?⠀ ⠀ Apply for Yay for 100K™ TODAY to start getting these results in November! ⠀ ⠀ Link in my bio to apply!

Meet the Client Warrior! ⠀ ⠀ 🧠 She is brilliant and is working harder than ever to make her business successful.⠀ ⠀ ⏳ She puts in long hours customizing proposals or offering lots of different services to suit any potential client. ⠀ ⠀ 🤯 She feels scattered most days, and is on the brink of burnout.⠀ ⠀ Sound familiar? ⠀ ⠀ It sure does to me. I was stuck in the Client Warrior stage of my business for WAY too long. Seriously, I spent years working my tail off and not earning anymore money, while I constantly battled burnout. ⠀ ⠀ But it's not all bad! 😁 This is the stage of business where you are actually MAKING MONEY from your services! You're also learning a lot about the type of clients you want to work with (and the ones you don't) and you're learning how to work hard.⠀ ⠀ But if you stay here, you're going to burn out.⠀ ⠀ ❌ It is not sustainable to be a Client Warrior forever. ❌⠀ ⠀ You end up working too hard without moving the needle on your business in any meaningful way. ⠀ ⠀ Because hard work DOES NOT EQUAL more money. ⠀ ⠀ 🎧 Listen to the latest episode of the Yay for Business Podcast! 🎧⠀ ⠀ I break down exactly who the Client Warrior is and, if it's you, how you can battle the mind blocks and move onto the next stage of business. ⠀ ⠀ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ Swipe to get a preview and listen to the whole episode through my link in bio! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #yayforbusiness #girlpreneur #femaleentrepreneurlife #accountabilitypartner #businesscoachingforwomen #womenentrepreneurship #businessgrowthstrategy #goalsetters #beingboss #podcastsofinstagram #podcastshow #podcastlife#podcasthost #podcastlove #newpodcast #applepodcast #businesspodcast #entrepreneurpodcast #entrepreneurtips #entrepreneurtip #entrepreneurcoach #entrepreneurjourney #entrepreneur101 #entrepreneurwoman #entrepreneurher #femaleentrepreneurship #solopreneurlife #solopreneurs #selfemployedlife #entrepreneurmind

This summer I was diagnosed with ADHD.⠀ ⠀ It's one of the best things that's ever happened to me.⠀ ⠀ (At the end of this month, I have a podcast episode coming out where I’ll share a lot more about this journey.)⠀ ⠀ I decided to post this today for a few reasons:⠀ ⠀ (1) It's #WorldMentalHeatlthDay and this week, in particular, my ADHD symptoms have been large and in charge. ⠀ ⠀ (2) Posting this is an impulsive ADHD-style decision 😉⠀ ⠀ (3) Entrepreneurs are 300% more likely to have ADHD which means some of you reading this have it.⠀ ⠀ Though having an ADHD brain presents very real challenges, it is my superpower and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.⠀ ⠀ That said, here are a few things that I wish other people understood about ADHD:⠀ ⠀ 🧠 ADHD is something you’re born with.⠀ 🧠 ADHDers have something called “hyperfocus”. Harnessed properly, hyperfocus is a superpower. But it can also cause you to lose hours, days, weeks on the wrong thing.⠀ 🧠 ADHD is thought to be caused by a dopamine/norepinephrine disregulation in the brain (norepinephrine is what adrenaline is called inside the brain)⠀ 🧠 ADHD brains are wired for interest over importance. ⠀ 🧠 An ADHD brain actually shows LESS activity when it tries to focus, making it impossible to take action even when the action is seemingly simple/important.⠀ ⠀ Which explains why…⠀ ⠀ ⭐ When I try to focus, I can’t. It’s not because I have a “limiting belief” or because I’m lazy. It’s brain chemistry.⠀ ⭐ I struggle HARD to follow any kind of planner or schedule (unless it’s new and shiny). ⠀ ⭐ I forget things and miss appointments regularly.⠀ ⭐ I get bored REALLY FUCKING easily.⠀ ⭐ I have more thoughts before I get out of bed in the morning than most people have all day.⠀ ⭐ Daily, regular, or monotonous tasks are almost impossible for me to maintain. This includes laundry, dishes, tidying, checking email, cooking, taking vitamins, exercise etc. ⠀ ⭐ I talk a lot and loudly, often interrupting conversations.⠀ ⠀ ⚠️ NOTE ⚠️ If you think you may be on the ADHD spectrum there are free assessments you can take online to get started. ⠀ ⠀ Swipe to see a few of my favorite and most relatable #adhdmemes that I love! ❤️❤️❤️

This was me eight years ago today. ☕ I was working as a barista at the local coffee shop in my hometown with dreams of getting my new online business off the ground. Looking back at this photo, I truly cannot believe how far I have come in eight years. If you had told that girl behind the espresso machine that in eight years she would be running a six-figure business, captaining a team and impacting the lives of hundred of clients, she never would have believed you. But we all start somewhere, right? So often on social media, we compare our beginning to someone else’s middle. And that’s why I wanted to show you where I began. I didn’t wake up one day and instantly start booking clients, selling out my programs, hiring staff and making a full-time income from my business. 😓 I made mistakes. 😓 I worked multiple jobs. 😓 I struggled... ...for a LONG time. If you don’t want to struggle as much as I did with your service-based business, you need to learn my method for getting clients. A method that won’t leave you tired, broke and burnt out from sales calls, custom proposals or cold emails. And you can learn it now in my FREE masterclass: The Get More Clients Method. ✨ Registration is NOW OPEN for this FREE webinar! Click the link in my bio to sign up now!

Meet the Scrappy Freelancer! ⠀ ⠀ 👩💼 She still works a 9-5 but is starting to take on projects outside of it in the hopes of quitting her day job soon.⠀ ⠀ 📞 Every time she gets on a client call, she agrees to do anything she's even remotely qualified for. Whatever it takes to seal the deal! ⠀ ⠀ ✏️ She writes custom proposals for EACH AND EVERY client, so her work always feels super polished and personalized.⠀ ⠀ 📆 This month she's overbooked with clients and never gets to bed before 2am but next month...she doesn't have a single client booked.⠀ ⠀ Sound familiar? ⠀ ⠀ Whether this is you now or this was you a few years ago, most of us start our businesses as Scrappy Freelancers. Even if you wouldn't call yourself a freelancer, you might be a business owner with some Scrappy Freelancer tendencies. ⠀ ⠀ While this stage has its struggles, I still think it's important to celebrate. This is the first stage of being a business owner and finding your FREEDOM! 🎉🎉🎉⠀ ⠀ But you don't want to be here forever. ⠀ ⠀ ❌ The Scrappy Freelancer reacts to opportunities instead of growing her business. ⠀ ⠀ ❌ She spends too much time on custom proposals.⠀ ⠀ ❌ She feels tied to her clients' demands.⠀ ⠀ ❌ And the amount of money she makes each month is INCONSISTENT and UNRELIABLE. ⠀ ⠀ So how do you go from a struggling Scrappy Freelancer to the next stage of business? ⠀ ⠀ Tune into the latest episode of my podcast, Yay for Business 🎙️, and I'll tell you exactly how it's done! ⠀ ⠀ 🎧 Link in my bio to listen now! 🎧 Swipe for a preview!⠀ ⠀ I'll share how you can go from the Feast and Famine Cycle to the Consistent Clients & Booked Out Cycle! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #yayforbusiness #girlpreneur #femaleentrepreneurlife #accountabilitypartner #businesscoachingforwomen #womenentrepreneurship #businessgrowthstrategy #goalsetters #beingboss #freelancers #freelancelife #freelancerlife #freelancelifestyle #virtualassitantlife #freelancingfemales #podcast #businesspodcast #yayforbusiness #scrappyfreelancer #feastandfamine #yayforbusiness #podcastsofinstagram #podcastshow #podcastlife#podcasthost #podcastlove #newpodcast #applepodcast #businesspodcast #entrepreneurpodcas

⚠️ Embarrassing moment alert ! ⚠️ Have you ever watched my FIRST Youtube video? It’s a doozy. My voice was super high, I was rambling and I wasn’t even looking at the camera. But let’s journey way back to May, 2013 together. As much as I cringe watching that video, I’m also super proud of 2013 Courtney. This video reminds me exactly where I started and how much I’ve overcome to get where I am today. Back in 2013, when I was just starting as an entrepreneur, I had a goal to make $2000 per month from my business. And I was SCRAMBLING to make that happen. Here’s what 2013 Courtney was up to: 💰 Charging way below industry standard...and making less than minimum wage. ⏱️ Spending hours on custom proposals to impress clients into saying YES 💻 Offering 5+ packages, but never actually selling any of them because I always customized the packages for each client (rookie mistake!) And you know what? ❌ IT DIDN’T WORK! ❌ It took me a long time to reach that $2000 per month goal using those methods. I was exhausted...and it was impossible to earn more. I knew if I wanted to earn more than $2000 a month, I needed to find a new method. A method that was easy, sustainable and profitable. So what did I do? I took a risk. (I’ll tell you more about the risk I took at my upcoming free masterclass). And when I took that risk, everything changed. (That is not hyperbole). I discovered a simple strategy that would allow me to work fewer hours, find my dream clients, charge what I was worth and not spend all of my time on custom proposals. And it’s exactly what I teach step-by-step in my signature program, Yay for Clients. I’m going to be sharing the details at my upcoming masterclass on The Get More Clients Method (link in my profile to sign up!) If you want to learn more about my method for finding clients and pushing past that $2000/month level, you won’t want to miss this. 🌟 Link for the masterclass is in my bio! Register now before it closes! 🌟 P.S. At the class, I’ll also give you the details about Yay for Clients so you can see how it would work for your business. If you’ve been waiting to enroll, this could be your time!

As you may know, I have two programs, Yay for Clients and Yay for 100K. Yay for 100K is my high touch and high ticket group coaching program. But when I first heard about high ticket coaching? I was so uninterested. It was not even on my radar. Until my friend introduced me to Mariah Coz. As soon as I started her program, I was HOOKED. Which was TERRIFYING! Mariah’s program is, hands down, the most expensive investment I have ever made in my business. I was scared of losing money and, if I’m being honest, I wasn’t sure I was worth the investment. But in my first three months, I tripled my original investment! Not only did I make back my investment three-fold, but I completely changed the way I did business. Mariah’s program is so thorough and she took me through everything I needed to successfully scale and launch my group coaching program, Yay for 100K! And now she (and I, and a bunch of other cool, brilliant people!) want to share all of that knowledge with you at the Icons of High Ticket Virtual Conference. Ready to level up your business? Curious about high ticket group coaching? Looking for the tools, inspiration and education to have the BIGGEST month ever in your business? Register now for the Icons of High Ticket 2-day virtual event through my LINK IN BIO! It’s happening Oct 6 & 7. If you can’t make it, you’ll have access to recordings of all of the sessions! See you there!
