EPISODE 172
Setting better money boundaries
// <![CDATA[

// ]]>

Ok, let’s check in - How are you going with your money boundaries?

If you’re like me, you may need to regularly check where you’ve got good, bad, or ugly boundaries to find areas that need tightening up.

Uncovering these areas of your life and business where there has been boundary creep often reveals some underlying money lessons that you can work on. 

In today’s podcast, I’ve got a checklist for us to go through and some simple actions you can take to set better boundaries around time and money. 

Trust me, you’re not alone if you’re struggling with boundaries; it’s human. 

I’ve had some really big money boundary issues recently, and they’ve been hard to work through. 

We’re all in business to help people, and this desire to help can often push us to bend or soften our boundaries. 

This doesn’t mean you’re bad at business, but it also doesn’t help, so it might be time to pull on your big-girl adult pants.

I hope today’s tips help you spot some boundaries that need setting or tightening.

P.S. Setting a boundary with money can bring up your money blocks and trigger money blocks in other people - your partner, family, or clients.

Other people's money blocks
// <![CDATA[

// ]]>

Ooohh! Such a juicy one for you today - Other people's money blocks.  

As you go through your money journey, you may have started to work on your money mindset and money blocks, but other people's money stuff could be derailing you. 

Most of your money blocks revolve around made-up stories and old beliefs about what you can be, do, and have.

You also have stories about how your income affects your friends, family, and community. 

If you've been stuck at the same income level for a while, it's worthwhile to see if you're unconsciously holding yourself back for other people in your life. 

Listen along today for more on:

Dealing with your partner's negativity or fears about money
Creating business friendships for support and validation
Spotting entrenched blocks in your industry or niche 
Outgrowing friendships as your business grows 
The impact of family beliefs and mottos can have on your business  

Whether it's a parent, partner, or best friend, this is a common money challenge I help people with. We have an entire module in the Money Bootcamp course on this topic, and it's the theme of this month's live coaching calls. 

So, if today's episode hits a nerve and you know this is an area where you need extra support, then it's time to join Bootcamp. 

Always seek out people who can grow with you and support your vision for your life and business.

When you're ready we'd love to cheer you on in Bootcamp!

EPISODE 170
What to say when you have nothing to say
// <![CDATA[

// ]]>

Today's podcast episode is about what to say when you have nothing to say. 

I know a lot of people in this space right now. 

For whatever reason, whether it be the aftermath of the pandemic, the economy, or the state of global politics, it can be hard to know what to say or whether to say anything at all. 

We're living in a time when it's never been easier to start and grow an online business. Still, it's also impossible to ignore the atrocities and inequity happening every day. 

When you consider what's happening in the world, it might feel trite to talk about your business or market yourself.

This feels like a lot, so it's understandable if you're unsure what to say online.

I wish we could solve all of the world's problems. But one thing I know is that not doing your business is probably not going to help. 

So, if you feel like you have nothing to say or are just tired and overwhelmed, this episode is for you. 

It's no wonder you're feeling this now. The first step is to acknowledge what's real for you and where you're at. 

Despite the not-so-cheery topic, I have some practical tips and advice to help you navigate putting yourself out there, so listen along today. 

This episode will help you look deeper and perhaps glimpse where you feel unworthy or have imposter syndrome. 

I'd love to hear your takeaways from this episode and what it brings up for you?

It's time to take another look beneath the hood of my business and share some successes and lessons. 

Affiliate marketing makes up 10-30% of my annual revenue, depending on who we partner with each year. 

And the beauty of this is that I don't have to deliver those programs! 

We partner with a small number of people who we have learned from and really admire. But more importantly, who fit out audience and can help you grow your business. 

Over the years, we, and particularly Mark, my husband and Launch Manager have become really good at authentically and successfully running Joint Venture promotions. 

If you're interested in learning more about how to be a winning affiliate and how earn some extra commission or prizes, then today is your lucky day. 

Mark just recorded a super detailed interview with Jeff Walker, sharing our approach to affiliate promotions and everything we've learned from the last decade: 

Here's what Jeff Walker said: 

"I think we have one of the industry's most challenging and competitive affiliate leaderboards, but Mark and Denise are the all-time champions.

They are the GOATs - the greatest of all time - and have won our affiliate promotion six consecutive times.

We've only had one other repeat winner, Brendon Burchard, so six times in a row is unheard of." 

Whether you're an experienced affiliate partner or just starting out, Mark shares how we got started and how we have earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions and prizes by sharing our story and introducing you to people we believe in. 

These partnerships are win-win - a great way to help your audience and complement your income. 

I'm biased, but I think Mark is pretty cool and has a lot of great gems to share. Partnerships like this have been so valuable for our business, so take a listen to find out more:

Secrets from a champion procrastinator
// <![CDATA[

// ]]>

I am a CHAMPION procrastinator. Honestly, if there was a Procrastination Olympics I’d win gold. 

So today’s podcast topic is close to my heart - we’re talking about my secrets and hacks to overcome procrastination. 

I grew up thinking that I was such a lazy procrastinator and always struggled to get things done. I used to think I was really unmotivated until I realized it was actually undiagnosed ADHD. 

I now know I can have a real challenge with executive function - starting and finishing things and even making simple decisions. 

But even without an ADHD diagnosis, there are tactics you can use if you suffer from procrastination or just want to make your work days a little smoother.

Listen along to today’s episode to learn: 

How to identify and overcoming the fears that could be behind your procrastination 
Breaking the link between perfectionism and procrastination 
The concept of “negative consequences” that I teach in Money Bootcamp
What to do when lack of clarity is the real reason for your in-action 
More juicy batching tips to overcome resistance   

One of the very first courses I recorded was a procrastination course, and guess what… I never launched it! So funny. 

So what are you going to do? I’d love you to make a public declaration - tag me in your post @denisedt - and announce that your book, course, event or whatever is happening by this date. 

Just do it - you’ll figure out the details and this micro-commitment will get you moving in the right direction.

Practical steps for better manifesting
// <![CDATA[

// ]]>

If you're fairly new to following me, you may not know that my first book was called "Lucky B*tch," and in fact, a lot of people knew me as the "Lucky B**." 😆

When I started my coaching business, I taught manifesting and the Law of Attraction. 

But what made me different was my Virgo personality and my focus on the practical action steps that make a difference when manifesting money or a big goal. 

Early in my career, I was known for manifesting free travel, competition wins, bank errors in my favor, and, of course, money. 

So I've learned from personal experience and helping thousands of people that there are honest, practical steps you can take to make your dreams real. It's not all woo-woo chanting at the moon. 

You really can manifest what you want, but it takes work, so let's revisit the basics that make the Law of Attraction virtually foolproof!

It all starts with a dream, but you have to put yourself in the slipstream of opportunity to have a chance of achieving it. 

Listen to this week's Chill and Prosper episode to learn:

How to combine the mindset of manifesting with the action you need to take towards your goal.
My 5-step formula makes manifesting predictable. 
My proven tips to shift your energy and boost your manifesting progress.
How to build momentum and accountability by taking inspired action
The secrets to manifesting more money and abundance 

There will be times in your life when you think, "I want this so badly," but you'll be frustrated waiting for the Universe. 

In today's episode, I share simple, practical steps you can take to flex your manifesting muscle. 

What do you desire this year? What do you want more of deep in your heart and your soul?

Hit reply and let me know the goal you're chasing. If you want some accountability, let me know the practical steps you're taking this week to make it happen.

EPISODE 165
Stop feeling unworthy of money and success
// <![CDATA[

// ]]>

Today, we’re talking about worthiness - feeling worthy of earning more or deserving of success.

I honestly believe this is the crux of what most people need to learn to enjoy more breakthroughs in life and business.

You can learn all the business and marketing strategies you want, but unless you’ve done the mindset work to love and accept yourself, you’ll always feel unworthy and sabotage yourself. 

In many ways, this is one thing you need to master to have the life and business of your dreams.

That you are worthy of success, you’re ready and it’s possible for you.

This is such an important lesson and episode.

Feeling the fear and unworthiness of imposter syndrome is normal.

I feel this deeply - especially when I’m speaking at events. 

Worthiness and imposter syndrome go hand in hand because we’re often consumed with thoughts of “Who am I to do this?”

But the flip side of this, which could be such a game-changing realization for you, is that we’re all human. No one really knows what they’re doing; we’re all making it up, so why not you? 

You’re worthy of the success and money of your wildest dreams. 

Our community wants that for you and will cheer you on every step of the way.

Hi there

I recently sat down with Jeff Walker to chat about if it's possible to build a six- or seven-figure business AND work fewer hours.

For a lot of entrepreneurs, that’s the Holy Grail… 

I recently passed $25m in sales – while being a wife and a mom to three young kids. And I didn’t have to hustle, put in 16-hour days, or set my alarm clock to 4:30am to accomplish it.

It's possible to live life on your own terms, and in this interview, we unpack how I made it happen, including the simple two-step process behind my successful business.

Learn from my Launch Mentor: 

Jeff Walker has just announced his annual Live Launch Masterclass is coming in August 2024. This is the best free training available on how to launch and what is working now in the world of online launching. Plus, he'll open enrollment for the 2024 Product Launch Formula coaching program, for which I'll be offering extra coaching and an exclusive affiliate bonus.
