Word of the Year for 2025

Are you a "word of the year" kind of person? Well, I've been doing word of the year for the last 7 years and DANG has it evolved and changed. 
In this episode, I'm sharing with you:
my reflection on my words of 2024 (yes I had 2)
my word for 2025 and how I came up with it
I'm also sharing a quick little pep talk with you so you can enter 2025 with excitement that doesn't crash a few weeks into the new year!
If you'd be so kind, I'd love for you to leave me a review of the podcast and share it on your social channels! Let's help all the DFY service providers!

What I'm leaving in 2024 and what I'm taking into 2025

As 2024 comes to the end, I wanted to share with you the things I'm leaving behind this year because they don't serve me and then what things I'm taking with me into 2025.
The thing I want you to take from this episode is how these things I'm leaving behind and taking with me might look in your own business. If nothing else, I hope you take a few minutes to do this same exercise with yourself. What are you taking into 2025 and what are you leaving behind?

Top Trends for Service Providers in 2025

It is that time of the year where everyone is sharing their top trends for the upcoming year. I wanted to take some time to do the same, especially because the top trends of 2025 for service providers are probably not what you think!
Dive into the episode, where we cover:
the trends for other business owners and how it applies to service providers
the top trends for service providers
how to embrace these trends in your own business

Why you're not landing clients (and what you can do about it!)

The no. 1 thing to make more money as a service provider with Jessica Paxton

This was originally one of the guest episodes from our summer series. Because of some life stuff, Jessica and I decided to postpone releasing the episode until it made sense for all parties.
Lucky you- today is that day!
In this episode, Jessica and I have such a real conversation about niching down as a service provider and all of the doors it opens up for you in your business.
I particularly love this episode because Jessica is SO real and shares some vulnerable stuff you won't hear from other mentors in the space.

What I learned from doing something only 1% do

In this week's episode, I'm sharing with you what all I'm taking away from my time doing the 75 Hard Challenge. In case you are unaware, it's a 75 day health and fitness challenge. I did my round from July 29 through October 11. In this episode, I'm sharing with you my thoughts on the challenge and what I'm taking with me now that it's over.
This fitness challenge inspired me to create a business version specific to service providers and our first day of this next round started on Monday. The goal is to create consistent habits around getting visible in your business, while still focusing on the whole person. Spoiler: the people who did the first challenge round had increase in discovery calls and new clients.
If that's what you want- more clients that you like and want to work with, sign up for this current round! https://sustainablebusinesscollective.thrivecart.com/75-hard/
