Women entrepreneurs secretly live in terror that someone will question their value and as a result, they engage in all kinds of sabotaging behavior as a cover up.

I see it all of the time — under charging, over delivering, putting up with flakey client behavior, not making enough offers, hoping to get on stage at an event instead of asking outright, tolerating boundary issues with team, answering emails in the middle of the night…

The list goes on but what really matters here is solving this issue once and for all. Because by solving it, you’re going to see a rapid up tick in your income and in your self-esteem.

So here are 3 truths that will help you see the value of what you do, not through the eyes of someone who is doubting herself, but through the lens of a fresh perspective that will set you free to confidently get on with the business of exponentially growing your business!

Women make the perfect entrepreneurs because we love to connect, network and support others. We’re super creative, resourceful and we know how to get tons done.

So why aren’t more women successfully creating 6 and 7 figure businesses? Why are most women entrepreneurs walking around, outwardly smiling but inwardly feeling like a fraud?

Because of the inner b.s. they let themselves believe!

Which is why at each of my live events and coaching workshops, I’m continuously asked, “Kendall, what shifts did you make in your mindset in order to up level your business so massively?”

Yes, I had to change my mindset when I decided to stop playing small and say yes to getting my gifts and message out into the world in a bigger way. But I also had to take an honest look at the b.s. I was living with day to day…and do something about it.

Which is why I’m sharing these PERSONAL and CANDID tips with you, so you can quickly let go of what’s keeping you from experiencing entrepreneurial freedom.

Whatever stage of business development you’re currently in, you’re likely looking at simple ways you can improve your results. Making more sales, attracting ideal clients, up leveling your branding, hosting workshops, affording more team, growing your list and more.

Where most women entrepreneurs struggle is in knowing which activities they should prioritize first and even more importantly, how to hold on to the mindset that it takes when the business you’re juggling on a daily basis is a far cry from the business of your dreams.

This is where having a system and the right strategies pays off in a big way. For example, if you’re not yet consistently making enough money to cover all of your expenses, then your focus is best spent on generating your first 8-10 clients at higher fees rather than wasting your time on launching something like a membership site.

Every time you up level your business you can plan on experiencing a period that is a mix of the old and the new. I laughingly refer to this as the “business equivalent of hormone imbalance” because one minute you’ll be super excited and completely clear about your new direction, only to find yourself crying the next minute, wondering what you’ve gotten yourself into.

What I do during this time of massive up leveling is follow 3 simple steps that keep me centered and focused and out of overwhelm. I recommend printing these tips out and pasting them on your computer or bulletin board where they’ll help you make this transformation in your business smooth and exciting!

What would happen if you made money a priority in your business AND your life? If you’re quick to think, “But it’s not about the money for me” then let me help you understand something critical to your building a successful business: if you’re not making money it means you’re not getting to help and serve enough people.

I’ve coached hundreds of people in my programs (and thousands via speaking and teleseminars) and one of the biggest challenges woman business owners face is spending more time worrying about money than in taking the right actions to generate more money.

So let me help you by sharing the MOST important actions you can take to keep from feeling at the mercy of money, with little control or influence over what you make, even though you may be marketing like crazy. By taking these simple steps every day you’ll quickly begin to see a difference in your bottom line…and in your confidence as a woman entrepreneur!

When I first started coaching over a decade ago, I was taught to “let the client lead the agenda.”

The problem with this approach is it put me in a reactive position as their coach (meaning, I followed their lead, responding to what they decided to coach on), rather than a proactive position, where I could stretch them in bigger ways, helping them to accelerate their progress.

Plus, the problem with this old style approach is that it opened the door to hearing, “I’m not sure what I want to coach on today” which resulted in higher client drop out rates.

And, to top it off, I felt I was hiding out, not speaking my truth and holding back from giving my clients more of what they needed to thrive and excel.

Finally, one day, I had enough and began being more directive with my clients. I introduced new content, skillfully wove in training and began putting them on a path that I KNEW would work for them.

And you know what? My clients LOVED it!

If you’re a coach trained in the “old school” method, or you’re new to coaching and you haven’t quite found your footing yet, this new paradigm of blending information with coaching can feel uncomfortable at first.

Which is why you need to know how much content to include in your coaching sessions, and even more importantly, WHAT content your clients are most likely to pay you to deliver. Here are 3 easy steps you want to take to help get you started.

Lately I’ve been hearing from women entrepreneurs how they’re struggling with what I’ve dubbed, “implementation overwhelm.” That’s when they find themselves bouncing from one idea to the next, with nothing yet fully implemented. No matter how great a gal is at juggling multiple priorities, there comes a point when she has to admit that she’s lost perspective about what’s best to focus on.

That’s when most women pull back and put key projects on hold, drop out of coaching programs, stop learning new business building strategies or in some way greatly reduce any goals they had set for themselves.

Unfortunately, that isn’t always the best choice, largely because it doesn’t address the underlying reasons that got them into this situation in the first place. Which means the cycle will repeat itself.

And since I’m often asked, “Kendall, you are always implementing and launching something, how do you DO it?” I want to share my secrets with you for consistently implementing new projects, minus the overwhelm.

I give a lot of live events each year, and I’ve learned there’s more to creating a stellar experience for people than just having great content.

Yes, you need to be sure you’re delivering everything your attendees expect, but there is also an unspoken agreement between you and your audience that you must fulfill. I call this your Spiritual Workshop Agreement.

At each event attendees ask me, “Kendall, how do you maintain your energy during your events?”

I have a few secrets I’ve developed over the years to help me stay focused, confident and connected to three areas: Spirit, my audience, and my content.

Here are 3 simple tips you can implement to help you deliver your presentation with confidence, any time, anywhere. You’re welcome to use these whether you’re speaking for 10 minutes in front of your local networking group or you’re presenting several days of content in front of your own workshop audience.

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of knowing you have the full belief of your spouse, supporting you in your business.

But what do you do if (or when) that support isn’t there? How can you get your guy (or you partner) to support you when they may be facing their own doubts about the economy, how success may change you, their own frustrated ambitions, you name it!

Ideally, the loved one you live with is behind you every step of the way. But the reality is, a lot of women entrepreneurs struggle with getting the kind of unwavering, fully committed, unconditional support they need. If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t think my husband will go for this” when it comes to investing in your business then you know what I’m talking about!

Happily, there ARE simple steps you can take immediately to get your guy more onboard in supporting as you invest in growing your business, and even potentially strengthen your relationship in the process!
