3 Simple Ways To Invest in Yourself & Build A Better Life

Let’s be honest, investing in yourself is really nerve-wracking. Jodie isn’t shy to admit that she was a little anxious to invest in herself.

Before Rock Your Business, she had only invested in marketing education. She had taken a few Instagram courses, and some marketing theory classes, but had never invested in anything to help her put structure in her business.

How To Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Stepping out of your comfort zone is the key to getting to the place you want to go. You’re never going to feel ready. I don’t want you to wait until the moment that you feel “ready” or the moment when everything is “perfect”, because, friend, you’ll be waiting forever.

There is never going to be a perfect time or scenario, there’s never going to be a way to predict the results.

How to Beat Anxiety While Taking Big Risks

Today I’m talking to one of my INCREDIBLE Rock Your Business students, Lauren Barton! I wanted to chat with Lauren because she turned her entire business around in a very short time, which transformed her life and prepared her for this insane pandemic we’re all experiencing right now.

When I first met Lauren, she was working 50+ hours per week, educating for a brand, and doing all her own marketing. She was double booked, had zero downtime, and hadn’t raised her prices since opening her own salon years earlier.

Now, Lauren has doubled her prices and only works four days per week! She let go of her assistant, opened an online shop, and streamlined all her business systems.

Lauren is an amazing example of what you can achieve with a little bit of guidance and determination. Now, I know it’s easy to listen to interviews and think “That’s so inspirational! Too bad I could never do that.” Well guess what? Lauren used to think that too, and now she’s that person on the podcasts inspiring everyone else.

Listen in to our conversation about big change and all the anxiety and exhilaration that comes with it.

Making Big Moves In Business

We’re back at it again with another awesome episode of The Anxious Creative.

This week I’ve got my friend and student Jen Shattuck from Oregon coming to chat about moving across the country, learning new techniques and following your dreams.

She’s been in the hair industry for 14 years (a little longer if you count schooling). She had an amazing opportunity to start cosmetology education in high school. Before she took the class she could barely paint her nails or do makeup, she didn’t know anything about cosmetology!

To top it all off, she even lives in my hometown and we graduated from the same high school just a *few* years apart! (Okay, more like, 20 years apart...but I digress).
