A viewer writes, “Have you ever priced your engagements with an escalation clause that allows you to raise the price as the business grows, with your assistance, of course?”

I love this question! An escalation clause is a sophisticated pricing strategy, so this is an advanced episode. I break down what an escalation clause is (and is not), why you want to use one, and how you present an escalation to clients. I also cover some frequently asked questions (so stay ‘til the end, for sure).

If you’ve listened to Profitable Joyful Consulting before, you know I teach consultants to do value-based pricing, meaning we don't charge by the hour or by the project, but based on the value you bring your client. Similarly, an escalation clause assumes that when the value you bring increases, your rates also increase. It’s an advanced strategy that requires you to have a track record of success, an incredible reputation, and the ability to be selective with your clients and to be able to communicate confidence in getting results. 

Are you ready to increase your revenue through an escalation clause?

Discover how to incorporate escalation clauses in your business on this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting on YouTube or your favorite podcast app.

“My number one value in my business is freedom. I don't want to be told what to do, or when to do. I want to have options and choices available to me.”

How much is enough money to earn through your business? When can you say “Yup, I”m done. I've hit my goal.”? My answer may surprise you. 

Viewer Question: When is enough enough, meaning being comfortable with how much you make since it's more than you ever thought possible?

First of all, yay! Let's celebrate that accomplishment. By the way, you’re not alone in this question – and your success. In just one week, I had clients saying to me:

• I have more money in my bank account than I've ever had before, and a client is sending me a six figure check this week, on top of all of that. 
• This is the most money I've ever made in my life. 
• I've gotten to $52,000 a month, so I think I'm going to take a little rest for a while.

This is incredible, right? Maybe you feel like it's not all about the money. I’m here to tell you sometimes it is. And I think it's really important for us as women to get comfortable with it being about the money. Here’s the thing: It's important to earn a ton of money because it gives you all the things; freedom, options, choices, opportunities, access. And so knowing what's enough for you, it's a personal question and it's a really important question. 

Before you go asking others about your personal number, hold off. If you ask your peer group, everybody's going to have an opinion. If you ask your financial planner, they'll have some ideas for you. If you ask your partner or spouse, they're definitely going to weigh in. Even your parents might have a totally different idea. And if we follow what capitalism says, there's no such thing as enough. More is more, is more, is more. That kind of thinking can drive you until you're dead, if you allow that to happen. So we have to be really super aware of what is enough for us. And this episode will help you do that.

Let’s talk about websites for consultants. What do you need to include? What do you need to leave out? What does each page need to have on it? In this episode, we’ll go through exactly what you need to do to have a consulting website that will help you land clients.

I was so excited to get this question from a viewer. 

“How do I turn my website from an expensive online brochure into something that's actually getting me consulting clients?”

I cannot believe that in over 200 episodes, I've never talked about websites! Websites absolutely help us get clients in two key ways: 

1. Discovery. People will go into a search engine, Google you, or find a directory or a reference to you and land upon your website, and that's the way that they discover that you exist. 
2. Learn more. They've heard about you somewhere and want to check you out. So they go to your website to do that. 

Either way, if your website isn’t optimized for current or potential clients, you could be leaving some serious $$$ on the table. Today, I’m digging into websites with my comprehensive guide. Make some of these tweaks and watch your consulting business shift in your favor. BTW you’re going to want to watch ‘til the end because I’m dropping some bonus advanced tips to catapult your success.

How do I get clients and is there really such a thing as perfect clients? Not only am I answering those questions, but I will show you how to land your first (or next) five perfect consulting clients. 

Before you dive into the nuts and bolts, my first piece of advice would be to just start. There’s someone around you with a need. What’s broken in their business is exactly aligned with your expertise. Let’s not overcomplicate it; just start helping. If you’re at the beginning of your business, will they pay you for it? Sometimes, sure. But it’s okay, believe it or not, to just start working, whether you’re employed elsewhere, launching a side hustle or you’re at the beginning of a freelance career – it doesn’t matter. 

In this episode, you're going to learn how to get clients, if you’re new to consulting. And if you’ve been doing this work for a bit, we’re focused on the quality of the clients, because landing perfect clients is as important as landing any clients. 

Discover how to land your next five perfect clients on this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting on YouTube or your favorite podcast app: www.samanthaspodcast.com.

Are you new here? Welcome! Let me introduce myself: I am Samantha Hartley, and I do one thing. I help women consultants multiply revenues without exhaustion by working with perfect clients on transformational engagements.

If you're a woman consultant listening, then I have a question for you: Are you getting the results that you want? Or do you suspect you're doing it the hard way?

👎🏻 Are you under earning relative to your potential?

😩Do you feel like you're already working as many hours as you possibly can and you've hit a revenue ceiling?

Here's what you'll get from my podcast.

🙌 Real world practical tips that I'm give to my clients:

🙌 How to sell with integrity

🙌 How to attract perfect clients

🙌 How to deliver more efficiently and effectively.

I provide action steps that you can implement immediately after you've listened to an episode. BTW, you should expect to write some stuff down. If you implement what you hear here, you'll likely not just increase your revenues, you might even double them.

You'll also be able to:

⏰ Work fewer hours

💨 Work more efficiently

🧳 Realize a lot of the unintentional sabotage strategies that are getting in your way

🤷🏻‍♀️How to eliminate all of the things you've been doing that aren't working for you, but you don't know why.

Before you do anything else, favorite or follow the podcast so you don't miss a single episode. Join me, and together we can make your business a more profitable and joyful consultancy.

This season, I’m answering listener questions. Today’s is: How do I know my genius zone is what people need and how do I find my offerings and hone them and simplify them? 

First of all, these are great questions. I'm going to share with you some various ways that you can figure out what your genius is, and how it aligns and compares to what’s out there. And then, specifically, share how to know which parts to turn into in-demand offerings.

Before we dive in, I want to acknowledge that your uncertainty is what makes being a consultant scary. Do people need what I do? Does the market need it? Are there gaps? Figuring out what's available in the market from others is a natural part of self-discovery and also market research. 

Take time to network with other consultants to find out who's out there and what they're offering. That will help you get not just an eye into what the market is and what's available, but also connect you to other people who are doing the work. They’ll reflect back to you what’s possible, as well as the unique part of your genius to tap into. 

Pro tip: If you meet someone doing something completely different, it doesn’t mean your idea is wrong, it means there's space for you to do your thing. You might meet others doing what you do, but they'll never be doing it how you're doing it. There's no one else who is you! So press play on this episode and get the support you need.

Do you get the 4:00 AM freak-outs? “Oh my God, there's not enough money. That client's going to fire me. Am I healthy? Am I sick? Is the world going to end?” Let's talk about how to get your brain under control so you can get good sleep and build your business.

Being woken up at 4:00 AM (or insert your own freak-out time here) is so disruptive to our daily lives; it’s pointing to an issue that really wants to get our attention. It can happen while you’re sleeping, or even while meditating, driving, or when you’ve just sat down for a little bit of peaceful time. 

It wasn’t that long ago when I would have these periodic meltdowns with my husband where I would just say, “We're not going to be able to pay the bills. There's not enough money and the roof is going to fall in (our chosen metaphor for the time period).” One day, he finally called me out saying, “While you keep saying the roof is going to fall in, I can't help but notice that it's been literally years and the roof hasn't fallen in yet.” That, for some reason, broke the spell for me and I learned the tools to face the freak-outs head on. 

I would love to teach you the tools so you, too, can stop losing sleep and start building a better mindset. In this episode, we’re talking about all the ways the 4:00 AM freak outs can interrupt our daily lives, what women consultants are most worried about, and what you can do to stop it. And yes, you can stop it. 

End the 4:00 AM freak-outs once and for all. Press play on Profitable Joyful Consulting on YouTube: https://youtu.be/v_pAtVQdulA or your favorite podcast app: https://samanthahartley.com/how-to-avoid-400am-freak-outs/

Season 18 is all about answering your questions. I really enjoyed this one: 

“My frustration is growing referrals without hounding my clients. I ask annually or immediately after we hit a success milestone. I still need more referrals. Surprisingly, they do not provide many. I send them a list of their connections on LinkedIn to generate initial ideas, but they seldom turn out to be solid referrals. I also receive a lot of referrals to people who cannot pay. They typically are unemployed or leaving their current job and cannot pay out of pocket. It is frustrating.”

That IS super frustrating. How do you get more referrals without hounding clients? My answer today includes some … tough love.

What's the difference between coaching and consulting? Is there any? I've always ignored this question really, because … so what? I just didn't think it was that important. But today I'm answering it because (a) so many people ask me about it, and (b) there are some exciting developments in both professions that we should be talking about!

So which am I: A coach or a consultant? For years, I always said consultant. I came out of corporate like a lot of consultants. I had a background and expertise that companies found valuable. Maybe they wanted to grow their businesses with a Coca-Cola-style approach or framework. I also believed that because I was more prescriptive, telling clients directly what they needed to do, that my work fell under the consulting umbrella rather than coaching. Also, there wasn’t really coaching back then! 

But things have changed in the past two decades. I’m excited to share how both coaching and consulting have shifted and how you can incorporate both into your work.

Focus on what you can be earning with your team and not just what you're paying.

Throughout history, fire has been a symbol of healing, used to mark rites of passage, commemorate key events, and serve as a symbol of clearing the old to make way for the new, connecting us with the cycle of life.

I will highlight some cultural traditions and their connection to burning rituals, and share insights into the transformative power of fire and its role in land management.

I always kick off my weekly client meetings with a simple, yet incredibly effective question.

It orients my clients toward success and starts our meetings on a high-vibe note. But what I love most about this question is it’s like a switch that activates a success-seeking mindset for the entire week. 

Asking this powerful question of your clients is a great way to indoctrinate them in succeeding with the work they’re doing with you (as well as help them understand the value of that work). 

This simple question is, what were your wins since the last time we met?

Dive into this journey of celebrating wins, fostering resilience, and embracing a mindset primed for growth and success on this week’s episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting. If you’re concerned that this focus on wins might lead to toxic positivity, I also share how to avoid falling into that trap by acknowledging failures as essential stepping stones.

Key ideas:

Rewire your brain to celebrate both big and everyday wins, and to appreciate progress with this week’s podcast episode. Watch on YouTube https://youtu.be/BkaoFIfzXAw or wherever you get podcasts www.samanthaspodcast.com

​QUOTABLES:

“Looking at your wins tells you what's working in your business.”

“Begin to celebrate the things around you and you're going to see more things to celebrate.”

Highly capable women are achievers. They’re used to doing IT ALL on their own. And looking good, while they’re at it.

Sound familiar?

It’s probably how you’ve gotten through most of your business and personal life.

That can be a blessing and a curse. Yes, you’re capable. Yes, you’re better than almost everyone else at doing all.the.things. But the problem with swooping in and doing everything on your own is that you end up exhausted. 

And that’s not sustainable. It’s also not how to grow a profitable, joyful consultancy.

On this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, I share the solution I gave to my client just last week when she came to me exhausted asking, “Just tell me how to fix this” to a problem she was having. It may surprise you that the solution I gave her had less to do with the “how” of the problem and more with the “who.”

You just returned to your office after a week away working on-site with clients.

You take one look at the “to-dos” waiting for you and feel overwhelmed with no idea where to begin.

That ☝️ happened to one of my clients. And she asked for my help isolating what to prioritize at that moment in her business. 

So I created a framework called “What’s closest to the money?” to help her (and all of my clients) feel productive and revenue-generating by focusing on – you guessed it – the tasks that would bring money quickly into the business.

It’s a framework I use daily and is one you can use when you feel like you’re unfocused or when you’re financially stressed. (And keep in mind money stress is less about how much you’re actually earning - and more about your fluctuating money thermostat.)

This episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting will help you determine what to work on in your business so you feel both productive and better financially. And because I don’t want you floundering in work that isn’t revenue-generating, I also share some “far from the money” tasks that disguise themselves as money-making.

Key ideas:

00:00 Introduction

02:16 How to get “stuck money” moving to your bank account

03:44 Don’t fall for this (it’s not a commitment)

05:44 Ways to generate revenue quickly 

07:05 Make a habit of doing these activities

09:29 Avoid rabbit-hole comfort zones

10:06 When to put on your own oxygen mask

11:09 Minimize these time-sucking tasks

11:58 Bonus: Once you’ve done all of the above, do this

Get out of overwhelm and into productive money-making quickly when you implement the “What’s closest to the money?” framework outlined in this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting. Watch on YouTube https://youtu.be/tIeP8g0LT6U or wherever you get podcasts www.samanthaspodcast.com 

​QUOTABLES:

“Of ALL the things I have to do, how do I know what to focus on today?” 

“Resting is, in its own way, a revenue-generating activity.”

“Base your brand language in actual language that clients use.”

The most consequential question for you as a business owner is: What do you want to be known for or known as in your business? 

The answer is the foundational piece from which your brand identity will emerge.

And while it may seem backward, it’s important that you first have clients before you create your brand. 

Why?

Because your clients show you who is attracted to your work. You hear how they talk about you. How they introduce you to other people. And the language that your clients use becomes the base of your brand language.

Brand work can be complicated, which is why I held nothing back as I unpacked the process of creating your brand identity (and marketing message) in this ep of Profitable Joyful Consulting.

Consultants often struggle with two critical questions: How do you decide whether to work with a particular client? And, once you’ve decided you want to, how do you figure out what to charge them? 

The answers to these questions are found in the discovery session. When you ask powerful questions, you unlock a wealth of information. This information not only helps you understand your client's needs but also empowers you to make informed decisions about whether you can help them. And, perhaps most crucially, it provides the foundation for setting the right price for your services.

In today's episode, we're diving deep into the world of powerful sales questions. These are the questions that will transform your discovery calls into invaluable tools for pricing your services accurately, all while ensuring your clients get precisely what they need.

KEY POINTS:

When you ask the right questions - powerful questions - you elicit information that you can use to price your services, to price an engagement, and to really understand what is going on with a client.

Do you ever look back on the week and wonder where all your time went? 

Do you have projects and passions you want to pursue but can’t because you don’t have enough time? Where does all that time go? 

This week I’m exploring two questions that are SO informative - and frustrating! 

Informative because they reveal something that should be obvious: where you’re wasting time. And frustrating, because it’s much harder to do something about this than just to be aware of it.

But, once you’re aware, you will be SO motivated to make changes. 

I’ve been working with my clients on where they are spending too much and too little time and have distilled down what I believe would be helpful for you to focus on as well. In this one, I share exactly what I see consultants spending too much and not enough time doing - find out if the same is true for you!

KEY POINTS:

The power and the pleasure of asking questions like these is you have this knowing inside of you, and it's just a matter of creating a line of communication for the answers to come through to you.

For decades, I associated the idea of making my bed every.single.day. with external discipline. It felt like something pointless and imposed on me, and that caused me to rebel against that point of view.

Then I heard a mind-blowing question that completely changed my behavior. The longer I sat with the concept, the more I realized that my behaviors today would either gift or sabotage my future self.

In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, I share how I use the concept of our “future self" with my clients to help them create the business and life that they want in the future, even though it can involve making tough decisions today. 

KEY POINTS:

00:00 Introduction 01:41 The mind-blowing question that changed a lifelong behavior 05:49 How to doom your future self 07:00 Realize this to avoid terrible choices in the present 07:57 The number one way you punish yourself in business 09:00 How to ensure your future self earns less 10:45 Handle this process well as a gift to your future self 13:21 Three actions to shape your business goals and intentions

Your future self will thank you for changing your perspective and taking actions that are in alignment with who you want to become. Watch this episode on YouTube: LINK or listen whenever you get podcasts: https://samanthaspodcast.com/

“What if we could take all of the behaviors that we have in our lives and do that with those behaviors, with the intention of doing this as a gift for our future selves?” 

“How do we leverage the concept of Future Self to support ourselves in creating the version of ourselves that we want to become?”

As a consultant, do you ever feel like you’re giving away too much? Worried that people could just figure out everything for themselves from what you freely share?

I hear these concerns from consultants a lot. And sure, if you’re naive, giving away too much can inadvertently hurt your consulting business (and in some cases, your clients’ results).

But when you’re strategic about what you share, you can trust that your ideas and content actually will bring you clients who want to know even more. You will be able to teach freely and from your heart so people can see the passion you have for what you do.

Discover how to strategically approach what you give away and when on this episode of the Profitable Joyful Consulting Podcast. 

KEY POINTS:

Your people want you. They want to hear your ideas. They’re looking for you right now. Watch this episode to help you feel confident and at peace with a sense of abundance when you freely give.

​QUOTABLES:

“The root of this question is a scarcity versus an abundance mindset.”

Ready for more clients? What if I told you that you already know exactly what to do to get more of them? 

It’s so much easier to replicate success than it is to pioneer a new path. But how do you know what “success” to replicate? Ask good questions.

True to the theme for this season, I share in this episode a powerful question I use all the time to simplify marketing planning and help consultants get clients faster. 

Fun fact: I even created an entire 24-lesson course from this question! 

In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, I reveal a simple way to predict where your next 5 clients will come from, making it easier for you to get into action and go get them. 

KEY POINTS:

If you want massive growth in the shortest amount of time, just trick your brain into thinking you need to generate $100K in the next 30 days.

It’s actually not a trick. I ask this question countless times in my own business and with clients, and the pressure of a 30-day deadline sends the brain searching for some of the best actionable ideas that it might not access otherwise.

In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, I walk you through the process that I use including the guidelines that will help you generate creative ideas to bring money into your business fast.

KEY POINTS:

I encourage you to do this fun thought experiment proactively and preemptively because it really has real-world applications. I share how in this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/88c5QYQ6bKM or listen whenever you get podcasts: https://samanthaspodcast.com/ 

In the early years I was really struggling in my business. Struggling to grow, to figure out who I needed to work with. Struggling with just doing EVERYTHING in the business myself. And that struggle went on for years.

I knew the results I was getting were not aligned with what I wanted for my business. But then I heard a question that made my whole body relax and say, “Yes, please.” 

Struggle looks different to different people and in this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, I share the most common struggles consultants experience. More importantly, I will tell you the game-changing question that took me out of struggle once and for all, as well as three steps you can take today to turn that question into practical actions.

KEY POINTS:

00:00 Introduction 02:20 Common struggles for consultants 04:10 The danger of staying in your “stress zone”  07:02 Beliefs that serve you in adopting ease 09:16 The role of passion and preparation in ease 11:37 Reflect on a challenging experience that actually wasn’t 12:55 Imagine unruly tasks in a new way 13:51 The 6-word cure for overwhelm 

You’ll have a more profitable, joyful consultancy when you stop believing that everything must be hard. Discover how in this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/YHKzmKZKe64 or listen whenever you get podcasts: https://samanthaspodcast.com. ​

QUOTABLES:

“If you're willing to let go of the struggle and stop believing that everything has to be hard, then you can embrace easy and have a better time in your business.​​”

“You don't take all of the steps at once. You just need to know what is your next step and then take that step.”

Do you have work-life balance?

There are only so many hours in the day and there’s only so much of you to go around. So how do you have a work-life balance? Is it even possible? 

I don’t have kids, so I know it’s hard to believe me when I say work-life balance is possible. But I promise that it is, and I brought in a guest to prove it to you: my friend Joelle K. Jay, Ph.D., who specializes in leadership development for senior executives in Fortune 500 companies. 

She helps leaders achieve what they want to achieve and live the lives they want to live. She’s also a mom who balances career and family, and she’s sharing her best insights in this episode. Tune in to learn how to get clear on what you want your life to actually look and feel like, and how to turn it into reality.

What are the things about which you will not negotiate? 

There are always going to be areas for compromise. But I want you to know what you won’t budge on (like not working by the hour, not giving discounts, not taking calls on Fridays, not getting paid beneath a certain number, or anything else you need). 

Whatever it is for you, the key is that you stand firm around the things that are important to you. When you’re clear on your values, that becomes easier to discern.

In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, I look at common situations consultants experience and how to come up with decision-making criteria to figure out your non-negotiables. 

Key areas discussed:

One of the most empowering things we can do is build work that allows us to bring our full selves without compromise, with all of our creativity—and the way to do that is with safe boundaries, including what we never negotiate.

So many consultants come to me living in the land of one-offs. They might have 25 clients in a year, mainly doing one-time projects.

One-offs keep you on the Revenue Rollercoaster, and they don’t allow you to do your most impactful work. I too did one-offs for years when I first started, and what I saw was that the results my clients got wouldn’t stick. There just isn’t enough time in one-offs to get to the root cause issue and really solve it. I was missing out on the opportunity to make a bigger, more lasting impact, and to build a reputation for doing so. 

I want you to say no to one-offs—and that takes courage. However, if you keep saying yes to what you don’t want, you’re just going to keep getting more and more of it. Tune in to this episode of the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast to learn how to escape the land of one-offs for a more profitable, joyful business where you can really shine.

Women are programmed to be nice and quiet, to ask permission, to be tentative, to make all these sounds that make a person go, “Nope, I don’t want to listen to her.” We’re often stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to using our voices and expressing ourselves fully. 

If you ask this episode’s guest, Voice Coach & Communication Consultant Tracy Goodwin, we have to start on the inside to change all those stories, to change the foundation that was given to us that we never asked for. That’s how we start to bring our real, authentic selves through in our lives and businesses to build more genuine connections, own what we’re putting out there, be more seen and heard, and get more clients. 

Tune in to this episode of the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast to learn how to be a more effective and captivating communicator - and increase sales! - by working with your voice (and voice stories). 

We discuss:

00:34 Introduction 05:42 Key challenges women experience related to using their voice 08:40 How Tracy helped a client who was already doing webinars and presentations figure out her voice stories and work with them to let her real authenticity come through 14:28 Ways women experience voice issues in their personal and professional lives What the research says about voice and money 27:07 The five elements of powerful vocals 34:12 What to shift in your voice to make sales easier 41:27 How Tracy learned to give people better feedback about voice as a former people pleaser 45:38 Speaking in ways that show who you really are 50:19 Who Tracy works with

As consultants, we can't be chronically under-rested. You need to be at your best. And if you're trying to build your company and really bring value to your clients, then you have to take care of yourself. You’ve got to sleep better, sleep more, and get quality sleep so you’re refreshed and regenerated.

The cornerstone of self-care is really good sleep, but getting it isn’t always easy. From life situations to health conditions to beliefs we hold, there can be plenty blocking us from getting the quality sleep we need. 

Tune in to this episode of the Profitable Joyful consulting podcast to learn why we don’t get the sleep we need and how to get better sleep to be the best possible version of yourself.

Executive presence leads to more confidence, authority, and credibility — which brings increased engagement, increased interest, and potentially increased revenue.

We can’t talk about being a woman and having executive presence without talking about our appearance. Whether it benefits us or causes discrimination against us, how we look when we show up to clients and potential clients is a factor in our businesses. 

In this episode of the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast, we confront the issue head-on instead of pretending it doesn't exist. Tune in to this episode with Marketing Strategist and Visibility Expert Bofta Yiman to learn how to develop your executive presence and be authentically visible.

I see male consultants charging $300,000+ for an engagement, but I’ll see a woman consultant really struggle to say a number like $30,000 for similar work.

There are tons of reasons for that (which we’ll get into in this episode), but the bottom line is: I want you to charge what you want for your services. I want women consultants to ask for hundreds of thousands of dollars and get it. And you can. I know this because I’ve done it, and I help my clients do it, too.

In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, I’m sharing some brutally honest observations when it comes to gender disparities in charging what our worth is work and what women can do to charge the price they’re looking for. 

So much of this is kept secret, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Financial risk is a part of life and business, but we need to be smart about those risks. 

This week’s episode of the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast is all about empowering you to prepare better for the five most common financial risks we as women business owners may encounter. 

Inside, my guest Jen Sapel shares how to protect yourself, your family, and your business. Her stories are riveting. And the statistics? Ugh, they’re eye-opening: We already know that 50% of marriages end in divorce. 

But how about this one: “In our adult working life, there's a one in four statistical likelihood of having a long-term disability lasting 90 days or longer.” Yikes!

Do you struggle to talk about yourself, share your amazing work, ask for testimonials, and share your success stories? Way too many women do - and it affects their ability to get clients, charge higher prices and earn more. 

It shouldn’t be that way! 

Talking about the good you do can feel like bragging. It often feels unnatural. 

It comes up against cultural programming about what we are and aren't supposed to do, be and say as women.

Well, I say: ENOUGH! It’s time to claim your successes and speak up about them.

** As we all know, if you don’t, no one else will. **

Lisa Bragg is the author of a new book called Bragging Rights on how to talk about success. Lisa joined me on this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting to flip the cultural script and share how to talk about your work using purposeful self-promotion.

How do we ask for help? Why is it so hard to do that? And how can we do so without destroying credibility, making ourselves feel weak, or making others think we’re unreliable?

I work with a lot of fiercely independent women who are absolutely killing it. Many of them are telling themselves the same stories I used to tell myself about why I shouldn’t ask for help: I don’t want to look like I can’t handle it. I don’t want to ruin my reputation, make myself too vulnerable, or be needy. 

But you're going to get yourself to a point beyond which you can't really grow. You have to be able to ask others for help and lose some pieces of control. In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, learn how to ask for help in letting go of control (like having someone help you do things so you’re doing less).

I grew up in an environment where women were very much in competition with one another, and I told myself it was easier to deal with men. It was super destructive, but empowering other women wasn’t always a priority for me. 

It took time, but eventually I realized how much I had internalized misogyny and patriarchy (and how much I believed those were my own ideas). It’s not about competing, it’s about raising other women up together. 

From time to time, I’ll see little pieces of internalized misogyny and patriarchy creeping up on myself and my clients. In this episode of the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast, we’ll explore the ways we tend to give our power away and how we can empower other women in our work.

Like so many of my clients, before working for myself I had miserable jobs that made me feel trapped, frustrated, and depressed. When I left corporate, I vowed that I would never put myself in that position again. 

But too often, we become our own bad bosses - overworking, underpaying ourselves, saying yes to the wrong things and keeping ourselves stuck. In my business, the freedom to choose what I want to do is absolutely key. There’s no amount of profit that’s more important than that. 

I want you to experience freedom in your business, too. Tune into this special Independence Day episode of the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast to learn how to build financial freedom and independence in your business.

Key areas discussed:

My wish is that you experience financial freedom, whatever that number means for you, and that it’s an internal state you can bring into yourself right now.

A lot of us struggle with personal finance, but it’s never too late to turn things around. I want you to be really aware of your finances because I believe that if you’re not being responsible with the money you have, when you bring more money in it’s just going to end up the way the rest of it did. 

Financial professional and personal finance expert Cori Arnold went on a journey from deeply in debt to being a millionaire, and she learned a lot of helpful things along the way.

That’s what heart-based selling is really about. Dive into heart-based selling - and how to fall a little more in love with sales - in this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting.

What financial principles do you need to know both as a consultant and as a woman entrepreneur? 

Most of my clients are women, and a lot of them are reluctant to talk about money. They’ve always delegated that to someone else or expected someone else to do it. Then, they find themselves as grown-ups who need to learn how to get their financial act together. 

Listen: I want you to be rich. I want you to have choices when it comes to money, and it’s super important to me that you are flourishing financially. And the more you know about money, the more financially free you can get. 

Tune in to this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, with guest Jenifer Sapel, to learn how to take care of your money (and yourself with that money).

Do you have a passion project?

In romantic relationships, most people acknowledge that our partners can’t be our be-all, end-all. We need to have other interests, hobbies, and friendships. Requiring one person to meet all of our needs puts too much pressure on them and on the relationship.

It’s the same thing with our businesses. They shouldn’t be the be-all, end-all of excitement and fulfillment for us either. That’s where passion projects come in. 

Tune in to this episode of the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast to hear about my current passion project, 5 reasons to pursue a passion project, and why passion projects might just be the antidote to overworking ;)

How can you discover more of your strengths, skills, talents, and gifts?

One way is through personality assessments. 

Through personality assessments, you can learn more about who you are as a leader and as a person (because you’re both!).

Critics say personality assessments are unscientific, or worse, that they reinforce bias and discrimination. But 80% of Fortune 500 companies reportedly use them, so I thought it would be interesting to look into them more closely with an expert. 

Claire Chandler has been helping leadership teams work together more effectively in less time with less cultural resistance to accelerate business growth for over 25 years. In this episode, she joins me to share a fresh perspective on assessments and how you can use them to drive better results. 

Key areas discussed: 

Tune into this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fizDgFMP6Pw or your favorite podcast app: http://www.samanthahartley.com/blog-podcast. to learn how assessments can help you know yourself better and by doing so, build a more profitable and joyful consultancy.

Traditional consulting businesses are mostly made up of one-off projects. That means you’re constantly on the hunt for new projects, which means you're constantly on a revenue roller coaster. You know what I mean: it’s where your income fluctuates wildly from month to month, and you’re always stressed about whether it might dry up completely.

Consultants, you can share your gifts, talents, and skills without constantly chasing new clients when you structure your business according to my revenue pyramid. Learn how to build your consulting business model so you have peace (and get better results for your clients) in this episode of the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast.

Key Areas Discussed:

·        Introduction 

·        The structure of traditional consulting businesses

·        What’s in my revenue pyramid (and why it’s the best way to grow your business)

·        The two things that happen when you structure your business using the revenue pyramid 

·        How the revenue pyramid grows itself 

·        What you can do when you don’t have to be on the hamster wheel of constantly getting new clients

·        Results my clients get when they use the revenue pyramid 

·        Why you don’t actually need a bunch of funnels, Facebook ads, and marketing flavors of the month

·        When one-offs and shorter engagements can work for you 

·        What I love about this model  

The hamster wheel and revenue roller coaster aren’t sustainable or joyful. Learn how to hop off and implement this really doable system in your business for more profit, joy, and yes - peace - in this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LrPIrS4G-aY, or or your favorite podcast app: www.samanthahartley.com/blog-podcast.

One of the eight main consulting skills is influence.

We obviously don’t have the power to force anyone to do anything, and as consultants our strength is our objectivity, perspective, and outsiderness as well as our expertise. That means we can only influence what’s going to happen. 

So how do you create change in other people, and in yourself? How do you create change in organizations? How do you influence the behavior of people? 

Explore in this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting as you learn how to grow your influence skills.

Key areas discussed:

Influence is a consulting skill that comes up as an opportunity you can practice every single day. Learn how to grow your influence skills in this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Ke30ymxOGZA or your favorite podcast app: www.samanthahartley.com/blog-podcast.

If you want to get to the next level of your business, you have to ask yourself: what would I have to change or let go of? What’s in the way? Often people are engaged in self-sabotage or blocked in another way. 

When you connect with your Inner Child, you can surface the gifts you’ve suppressed, lost, or buried. You can start to understand the unhealthy coping mechanisms the Child developed a long time ago, and how that’s impacting your work. You can move through obstacles and understand opportunities. 

It’s not traditional, but archetypes and spirituality can be powerful tools for entrepreneurs. Learn more about how to bring your Inner Child to work (and why you should) in this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting with Spiritual Director, Christopher Carrick.

Networking is one of the core, most powerful marketing strategies for consultants. It is the ability to connect meaningfully with others and turn that into relationships that can be professionally or personally beneficial for you.

If you feel like you’re not a networker, or networking is too hard, or you don’t like to shake hands and meet people, I get it. In this episode, you’ll learn how to network in a way that you can enjoy. It’s too key a strategy to omit, so let’s see how we can make it more fun.

Key Areas Discussed:

• 0:00 Why we’re talking about networking (again!)
• 1:25 What to look for when you walk into a room to network
• 2:00 The networking “spark” I want you to pursue
• 2:35 One of the biggest networking-related places consultants are getting clients right now
• 3:17 How networking can be not just self-serving, but really about connection
• 4:13 Other helpful ways to network that aren’t just about directly getting clients

• 8:32 Setting a networking intention to meet people and develop relationships

On the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast, I teach you how to increase your profits and enjoy your business more. In this episode, you’ll learn how to use sales metrics to build a more profitable and joyful business. 

One of my clients let me know that every year since she’s started her business, she’s increased revenues from the year before. But instead of celebrating, she feels a sense of dread — because it increases the pressure she feels and raises the bar for next year. It’s not a terrible boss putting that pressure on her. It’s her, putting that pressure on herself.

The thing about consulting businesses is: we probably don’t have the kind of business that some of your small business clients might have, so we’re tracking different things than other businesses might. If you’re wondering: what should my sales be? Should I be setting sales goals? What should I be measuring in terms of sales? This episode is for you. 

In it, we’ll explore how to relate to sales and sales metrics in a way that creates more clarity, joy, and profit in your business - not less. Key areas discussed:

Most consultants do project-based work. They come in, work for three or six months, and solve a problem with a beginning, middle, and end. (And truthfully, we probably solve a smaller problem, which then leads to the discovery of new problems.) This can lead to ongoing work but ... it doesn’t always.

Transformational engagements are different from the usual way of working (and they can make your business way more profitable and joyful). What makes a transformational engagement transformative? What’s your version of a transformational engagement? In this episode, we’ll dive into what transformational engagements could do for you.

There are all kinds of ways that you can do transformational engagements.

Sometimes you need to have time away from your business urgently, and you need to be able to trust that everything won’t fall apart while you’re gone. As consultants we are the brand, but we also have to build something that can function without us for more than just two weeks of vacation a year. 

More than just times when you absolutely have to be away, there’s simply no reason for any of us to be driving ourselves as if we were back at corporate. It doesn't help you. It's not sustainable and it's not profitable and joyful.

Learn how to structure a business that lets you live your life - including time away - in this episode.

As a consultant, you’re a deep expert in your field. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t experience doubt - in yourself, your work, and maybe even your expertise. Worse, many talented women struggle with imposter syndrome which affects them when they try to get more clients, go bigger online, or raise their prices.  

Confidence is critical to creating a profitable, joyful consulting business. It transforms you from the inside, and it’s attractive and magnetic in your marketing. The good news is, confidence can absolutely be learned. Learn how to build it for yourself in this episode. 

Key areas discussed: 

🏋️‍♀️ 3:05 How Sani helped her client Donna go from frozen with fear to landing two more speaking engagements by telling her story 

🏋️‍♀️ 4:44 How to connect with your audience, get them engaged, and share your message 

🏋️‍♀️ 7:21 One of the key things to focus on to build your confidence 

🏋️‍♀️ 11:58 The four essential steps to building confidence

🏋️‍♀️ 34:38 How to find ways to be okay with being confident (no matter what other people think of you)

Your business and your experience with your clients will transform when you are committed to being a perfect client. Learn how in this episode.

When you’re growing your business, your focus needs to be on lead generation. That’s business development, sales, and getting new clients.

You might groan when you hear that (most people don’t love sales), but you CAN do lead generation in ways that are in alignment with your Joy & Genius ZoneTM. Doing so ensures you avoid things you don’t like and are able to be consistent by finding methods you actually enjoy. In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, I teach you how to do that - because marketing shouldn’t be a thing you hate to do.

I used to work with someone in my business who would get super whacked out about other people in our same industry who were doing things really well. He would think it wasn’t fair and say, I don't think they're as smart as we are, how come they're more successful at those kinds of things?

I let it roll off my back. I understood that you don’t always win just because you’re the smartest person. We don't get to take our rules and values to decide who is going to be ahead. 

But I’ve seen this attitude over and over again in the industry, and that’s what this week’s episode is dedicated to. Tune in to learn the answer to the age-old question: should you compare yourself to others in business? Is that a good or bad thing?
