#59 - Keep Showing Up & Taking Baby Steps Because Your Work Matters

Mindset to Market: Holistic Business Tools for Solopreneurs with Deborah C. Smith

02/17/25 • 10 min

Have you ever felt like the world is just too heavy to keep showing up?

Like no matter how much you want to create, sell, or connect, everything around you is making it harder ?

I get it. Right now, it’s winter—the coldest, darkest time of year. People I know have lost jobs overnight. Small business owners feel lost, unsure how to show up when the world feels like it’s unraveling. Social media is about crisis management.

And it’s easy to wonder... does what I do even matter?

But my short answer is yes - in fact, we need you and your work more than ever. Because people are still searching for connection, hope, and solutions—and you can be the person who shows up for them, even in the midst of uncertainty.

In this short episode, I'm sharing 3 quick stories of entrepreneurs who show up against the odds and three ways you can take a baby step today:

Post One Thing – Share a tip, an insight, or a behind-the-scenes moment. You don’t have to be everywhere—just show up for your audience somewhere.
Help One Person – Answer a DM, offer a quick voice note, or create something useful for your audience. Small actions create impact.
Decide One Next Move – Don’t get stuck in overthinking. What’s one action—big or small—that moves you forward? Write it down and commit to it.

If you like this content, please take a minute to rate and review the podcast, that's the only way it gets seen and heard by other listeners and I'd be so grateful!

I hope you have a wonderful start to your week and as always, may you be vibrant!

#24 - How Soul-Aligned Business Offers Increase Sales

Mindset to Market: Holistic Business Tools for Solopreneurs with Deborah C. Smith

07/31/24 • 28 min

Imagine a time when you were doing an activity or having an experience that you really loved, something that lights you up and nourishes you - suddenly time flies, creativity flows, and challenges seem like manageable stepping stones.
It's easy for you to rave about this experience to your friends and family because you felt connected, expressed, uplifted and perhaps just plain happy.
This state of joy and ease is something we can aim to achieve in all of our business endeavors.
Conversely, when we feel out of alignment with our integrity, under stress, unsure of what we're doing, detached from the energy of a product or service, it's really difficult to want to share that thing, and nearly impossible to "sell it".
In todays episode, we're going to discuss the power in having a "soul-aligned" business offer and how that can exponentially increase your sales, just by being in alignment with your true nature and purpose.

I offered some journal prompts to help you hone in on and become more in alignment with your soul purpose and here they are so you can copy them into a black page and get to it!
1. Engage in self-reflection. Who do you believe you are here to be?

2. Determine your core values. Make a list of your values and beliefs.

3. Try new, exciting, and scary things. Make a list of ideas and activities that get you out of your comfort zone so you can experience something new.4. Question the stories you’ve internalized. What have you always believed about yourself that might be holding you back from discovering your purpose? 5. Be open to synchronicities and signs from the universe. Become more aware of any alignments that feel magical and synchronistic. What are the patterns you notice?

As always, please download a copy of the Daily Abundance Planner to help you track wellness and business activities and keep you in balance.
I wish you much joy in the discovery of your soul-aligned business offers and if you want more training on clarifying your offer, listen to Episode #7!
May you be vibrant!

#9 - 4 Lessons The Solar Eclipse Can Teach Us About Business

Mindset to Market: Holistic Business Tools for Solopreneurs with Deborah C. Smith

04/10/24 • 28 min

On today's episode of Girl Makes Fire, we take a take a trip to the center of the Sun as the moon uses it's small but mighty and perfectly aligned energy to make a big impact on us mere mortals.
There is so much we can learn from nature, in general, but when we have these brief but highly visible experiences, such as a total solar eclipse, it seems even more important to pause, and take in whatever we can learn from the experience.
In this episode I'm sharing my 4 big takeaways from the path of totality including:

The power of a shining life moment (hint: your story!)
Clarifying how far you're willing to go to get what you want.
Becoming a market-maker by staying present with your audience.
How small things can still make a BIG impact.... that means you!

I loved taking a break from the business of my work day to step into the magical portal of the eclipse and take it all in from beginning to end.
Did you do something special to witness or celebrate this moment?
I'd love to hear your story and where you were, or anything you learned.

#8 - Tax Time! Organize Your Money for Ease and Abundance

Mindset to Market: Holistic Business Tools for Solopreneurs with Deborah C. Smith

04/05/24 • 29 min

There’s a saying that goes “Money loves intention”

Meaning, when you are aware of you money, and tracking the income and expense of it, and you get all your systems set up and ready to make money... it all flows with so much more ease.

Conversely, if your accounting and money are all over the place- you won't be able to receive more.
In today's episode, I'm touching base on some of the mindset blocks that cause us to avoid our bookkeeping and a very simple but highly effective system to track your money so you can dance your way into tax time feeling the relief of knowing you have it all organized and ready to submit.

If you've ever dreaded the thought of having to balance your bank sheets or obsessed over how much things are costing... I hope this episode will help you take a new approach.
They certainly helped me go from being very *very* messy about my money, to being so well organized that I 5x my income!

Organize your money tips:

1) Have a system for organizing your finances and invoicing clients. Make sure you're tracking income and expenses weekly. Start simple with a Google Sheet and then graduate to a tool like Quickbooks.

2) View expenses like transaction fees as the cost of doing business.

3) If you notice blocks around money that are keeping you from tracking it on a weekly basis, then take the time now to work through those blocks. It will save you lots in the long run.
Some books that I recommend to help you start to heal and grow your relationship with money:

1) “You were born Rich” by Bob Proctor - amazing mindset shift about the concept of wealth

2) “Profit First” by Mike Michalowicz - this is the go-to book most entrepreneurs and accountants I’ve worked with recommend for organizing your business finances)

3) "Money- A Love Story" by Kate Northrup this is like a therapeutic workbook for overcoming limiting beliefs around money
4) "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki - a wonderful story of how simple and smart investments can transform your financial reality
5) "Ask and It is Given" by Esther and Jerry Hicks - how to manifest anything you truly desire! (I know it sounds big and it is)

#20 - How to Stay Productive While Enjoying The Holiday

Mindset to Market: Holistic Business Tools for Solopreneurs with Deborah C. Smith

07/03/24 • 18 min

Let's face it, Solopreneur, just because the rest of the world is on a holiday break doesn't mean that your work is done.
Depending on what phase of business you're in, your productivity is probably directly linked to your income, so "taking a break" could actually be stressful.

Today, as we head into the 4th of July week/end, we'll tackle a timely topic: how to stay productive while also enjoying a hoilday.

Yes, it's important to relax and enjoy the festivities, but as entrepreneurs and professionals, we know our businesses never really take a vacation.

So what do you do when the entire rest of the country is on break, but you still have some business irons in the fire that you need to keep your eye on.

I’ve got four tips to help you keep your momentum going while still savoring the holiday weekend.

Listen in for details on how you can:

Set clear boundaries and expectations
Schedule time for quick check-ins
Automate routine tasks
Prioritize strategic activities

Taking time to organize your messaging and set up some clear guidelines for yourself can help you to relax and enjoy when you do step away.
I hope you found these tips helpful! Please be sure to subscribe for more empowering episodes and if you love the show, I'd be so grateful if you would scroll down where ever you're listening and leave a rating and review!

Have a safe and happy holiday! xo Deborah
