Chill & Prosper with Denise Duffield-Thomas

Secrets from a champion procrastinator

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.

Practical Steps For Better Manifesting

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. 

Stop feeling unworthy of money and success

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; listen now.

How slow and steady can win in business

So you know the story of the tortoise and hare? 

They challenge each other to a race, and the tortoise plods along, slow and steady, and the hare rushes, runs, and gets distracted. Ultimately the tortoise wins. 

Well, today, we’re discussing how this “slow and steady wins the race” idea applies to your business. 

This is important because if you’re one of those methodical people who like to take it a little slower when initiating action or making decisions, you might feel left out in fast-talking entrepreneurial situations.

The entrepreneurial world often values speed, ideas, and newness over the tried and tested, so business can feel isolating if you’re always surrounded by hare personalities.

If this sounds familiar, listen to today’s podcast to learn about how the “slow and steady” approach can win in today’s online space.

Balancing people over profits

Have you ever said this…

🥰 “I don’t care about the money; I just want to help people” or

🤗 “People over profits,” or even

👩‍❤️‍👩  “It’s not possible to both make a lot of money and help people.”

I’ve heard this from a lot of people.

I get it - of course, people are more important than profits, and we should all care about our clients, but business isn’t a zero-sum game, and we can’t use this as an excuse.

So, on today’s podcast, I share how you can help a lot of people and make a lot of money - they’re not mutually exclusive.

Understanding your customer’s Money Archetypes

Let’s shift focus. Today we’re not talking about your money personality, but your customers. 

 

It’s time to look at the type of customers you are and should be attracting and how this might affect your business. 

 

Once you understand more about your customer’s Money Archetypes you can create more impactful marketing and more valuable support and products. 

 

Why do you need to know this?

 

Well, marketing is all about motivation and sales is understanding who your customers are and what drives them. When you try to market to everyone, you won’t get great results and it’s hard to stand out when there’s a lot of noise. 

 

So the more you understand your customers and talk their language, the more effective your marketing message will be.  

 

These insights are so valuable to help you achieve more sales, and get better at serving and helping your audience.

Workaholics, empire builders and fellow rulers

Today, we’re talking about a topic close to my heart - overcoming workaholism and hustle culture. 

This episode is aimed at my fellow Ruler Money Archetypes, who want to build an empire without burning out. 

Even if you’re not a Ruler, today’s episode will give you some great insights into your friends, partner, or clients and help you understand the motivation of Rulers.

Dealing with shiny object syndrome

Are you easily distracted by too many new ideas or the draw of shiny objects? Me too! 

As an entrepreneur, how can you work out which of your many ideas and passions are the right ones to pursue? And which ones can actually make you money?

I'm gearing up for my annual Money Personality business coaching program (which I'd love to see you in), so today, I've got a bonus podcast episode all about dealing with shiny object syndrome. 

Big risks, big rewards. Embracing your maverick.

Are you a risk-taker? Do you wish you could embrace the “big risk, big reward” mentality? 

Maybe you love taking risks in search of new, exciting adventures.

This might sound familiar if you have a Maverick, Alchemist, or Ruler personality, and it will terrify the Accumulators out there.

But today, we’re talking about how to take risks in business without sabotage, wrecking your business, or burning out.
