One of my biggest secrets to getting my clients a lot of results, and having MY business continually growing on a 3 day work week...  Is having a LIFE outside my business that INSPIRES me to work only 3ish days a week.  Traveling with my kids, dancing 5+ hours a week, doing pilates...  I remember a time when it felt impossible to make time for things outside of work and motherhood. Today, Marissa and I are having a conversation about smashing the patriarchy one 5 minute block at a time. Every time you take up space. Every time you prioritize your mental and physical health.  Marissa is one of the best cycling coaches in the world. She helps women say yes to adventure later in life, and see what it looks like to have ENERGY and HEALTH after 40 when we are experiencing perimenopause.  You're going to love Marissa, her story and her passion. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

Visit today's blog post here. Are you scared of having a big business? I’m here to tell you that it's safe for you to treat your small business like a small business. This does not mean you are closing yourself off to growth, it just means you can make it happen your way. As I was reflecting on this topic this week, it really blew my mind and I knew I had to bring it to you here on the podcast. When I first started my business, I was honestly terrified of success because I thought that meant I would no longer be able to be a present mom. But as I’ve grown, I’ve made the business work for me so that I still get to do the things that I love, get paid for them, and be a patient and present mama. This episode is going to help you overcome that fear of success, define what success looks like for you, and show you how you can make your life big and your business small. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur The Heart Centered Entrepreneur Podcast is produced by Heart Centered Podcasting.

Today I really want to demystify this for you today and tell you exactly what you need to create and when in order to quickly make the most money and create the most impact. I’m breaking down the evolution of my group course, Get & Coach Your First Client, which originally started as a 12 week course that I live launched 2x a year, but is now an evergreen course in which I enroll people all year long. There is no one right way to make money, but there is a lot of noise and it can be hard to discern who to listen to and what is the right way for you and your business. So listen in and take what you need! I can’t wait to hear about the action you’re going to take after listening. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur The Heart Centered Entrepreneur Podcast is produced by Heart Centered Podcasting.

The path to success isn’t straight, but you will get there. I love you!  –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur The Heart Centered Entrepreneur Podcast is produced by Heart Centered Podcasting.

This is a two part series where I am sharing the different things that I would do if I was starting and scaling my business from scratch because I want you to learn from my mistakes! If you haven’t, tune into the last episode because I talked about how I would create my first $5K online and the core strategy to creating six figures. In this episode I want to talk about if I was scaling past six figures and doing it from scratch, what would I do? We’ll be talking about three main things – embracing sales, hiring your first team member, and working through what may be happening in your personal life. I'm really excited to share this with you because I think it's just such a good reminder of the things that really work. In our industry, there's so much noise and I believe you stumbled on this podcast episode for a reason. I don't believe things happen by accident. So I hope you hear a nugget in this episode that unlocks something big for you and gives you insight and you're able to end this podcast episode and take some action that will help you manifest more money, peace, abundance, and grounded energy into your life. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur The Heart Centered Entrepreneur Podcast is produced by Heart Centered Podcasting.

And really, I used to say it too.  But here’s the truth: money is a beautiful, powerful tool in the hands of heart-centered women. It's okay to desire money to fuel your dreams and desires. ❤️ In this episode, I’m sharing 3 of my favorite money mindset shifts from my book. And honestly, if you take just one of these and lean into it even 10% more, I'm convinced it will make a big difference this quarter, not just in the money you make but in the amount of time/hustle/effort you are putting into making the money. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

Visit today's blog post here. Growing up, I often took the approach of don’t expect the good to happen, because that way if it doesn’t, you won’t be disappointed. But that model came crashing down when I left corporate and landed in entrepreneurship. As a business owner, you ALMOST ALWAYS are not meeting your goals because… Big goals = Big action. And big goals get you MUCH further than small goals that keep you stuck in the mediocre. In this episode, I’m sharing why business is really a series of “micro-failures,” and why that’s NOT a bad thing. I also dive into my process for how I help my clients face their fears, make a plan for the real ones, and release the rest — so they can step into their next level of income and success. Because fear might feel like control, but really it just keeps us stuck and small. And I’m not letting you stay in fear anymore. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

Visit today's blog post here. One of the best ways I’ve created more stability in my business (and life) while working a 3-day workweek is through something I call gold space. This is different than white space because white space means we are doing absolutely nothing. And in my book, that literally never happens for women, and it also terrifies us to be completely still and quiet. 😆  Gold space is about reclaiming time, energy, and margin in ways that bring peace back into your week. Part of it may be prioritizing things you are already doing. Some of it is finding pockets of time for YOU. In this episode, I’m breaking down what gold space looks like in real life, why it matters for your income, and how you can start making room for it — even in small doses. Because here’s the truth: gold space makes you money. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

True story: I sit down to write my launch emails… and suddenly I’m ordering safety patrol shorts for my son, tearing up at baby photos in Google, and realizing my client got totally sidetracked by IG reels. 😅 Being a business owner can feel heavy - between the money stress, inboxes, and to-do lists that follow you into dinner and bedtime. But here’s the thing: while entrepreneurship carries a lot of responsibility, it also carries huge rewards. And not everyone is brave enough to take that on, but you are. In this episode, I’m sharing 7 of my favorite hacks to feel more mentally free in your six-figure business. These are the shifts that let me make the most of my 3-day work weeks. Because so much of it is being able to ENJOY those 3 days while you work and then enjoy the 4 days you aren't working. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

In this episode, I’m sharing the key leadership principles that have helped me, and many of my done-for-you service provider clients (i.e. website designer, accountant, VA, OBM, SMM, Podcast Managers), build sustainable, 6 figure businesses on a 3 day workweek. These principles are helpful for ALL business owners, and especially those who HAVE team members. In the episode, I dive into maintaining boundaries, managing mistakes, and fostering open feedback along with real examples of how I actually apply these principles in my own business and with my team (and how you can too!). –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

Visit today's blog post here. Lately, I noticed that I was doing my "pour it out" section of the Daily Check-In in ChatGPT more than in my usual Google Doc! In some ways, it’s been so nice. ChatGPT offers unconditional positive feedback, and it always makes you feel like you’re right. Plus, it responds instantly, no awkward pauses with your own thoughts. But here’s the thing, they can actually be a negative too. Part of JOURNALING on where you are stuck or challenged or inspired is being able to challenge your thinking and be able to sit in the quiet and reflect on your thoughts! So, I’ve recommitted to doing my reflection on a blank Google Doc first, then pasting specific sections into ChatGPT. This episode dives into the ways I think ChatGPT is good and NOT good to use as entrepreneurs. It’s a convo on how to use it to TRULY HELP us and not sabotage us - in our intuition, our voice, and our business long term as we make money. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

Sell with heart is retiring to make room for something NEW!  This is the biggest change I've ever made in my business, and in this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes to share exactly what I’m changing, why I’m making this shift, and how your business and marketing might need to evolve in 2025 to continue getting your clients results and growing your income. Six months ago, I had some significant personal shifts that happened in my life, but I find that often PERSONAL challenges lead to beautiful business refinement and change. I truly believe that when life gets hard, it can become the catalyst for business breakthroughs.  I also dive into how to create more simplicity in your marketing and business so that you can build your six-figure business on a 3 day workweek. More than ever, simplifying your business, marketing, and program delivery will become a MUST to survive and thrive, and we’ll discuss exactly how to do that. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

Visit today's blog post here. In this episode, we’re diving into how to create YOUR 3 day work week. I’m sharing all about how I've embraced this way of working, and why I know it’s the key to working smarter, not harder—without burning out. And to make this super actionable, I’ve recorded the audiobook version of my mini-book, the 3 Day Entrepreneur Workbook for you to listen to on the podcast! 🎧 Let's be honest, the online space doesn’t always tell you exactly how to make this work (without feeling guilty or overwhelmed). I’ve been there, and I’m all about giving you the tools to work less and earn more. So take this as a sign that it’s time to UPDATE your dream schedule and continue to break free from the 9-to-5 mindset and create your 3 day workweek. And remember, YOU ARE ENOUGH. You don’t need to hustle. You can work hard without OVERWORKING.  If you're ready to take control of your schedule, your work, and your life, this is for you. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

In this week’s episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a real coaching call with my amazing client Christina, who’s growing her business and getting ready to make her next hire. This episode will help you navigate the mindset, strategy, and trust it takes to build a team that works for your business and life.  Growing your team isn’t always easy, but it’s so important, because you can’t build a sustainable 3 days a week, six-figure biz WITHOUT support.   If you’re in the season of making your first (or next) hire, this episode will make it easier. Tune in to hear me coach Christina, I know it will help you too! –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

And in this episode, I’m sharing some real talk about how to make it through and make money in hard times. Here’s what I know to be true… Even in a “bad” economy, the hardest days in my business are still better than the “best” days I had working a traditional 9–5. I share about the importance of designing your business and life to operate so that your baseline income works in any economy. I also talk about how to GROW AND THRIVE in this economy if you want to match your results from before. Plus, a tiny gratitude practice you can do for your business. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

This episode was inspired by a recent hire I made and taking 10+ sales calls in a short span. It reminded me what actually matters when someone’s deciding to work with you—and it's probably not what you think. I’m sharing a note I created from the perspective of your future client. Things like: I want you to believe in me even when I don't. I want to be challenged. I want to be respected and treated with kindness and grace. I want you to be secure. I want you to be confident. I want you to be a leader I can look up to. We’ll dive into the BIGGEST things you can embody on a call (spoiler alert: you're natural at them!!) to close more sales faster and to attract more sales calls too. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

Visit today's blog post here. Ever feel totally scattered trying to show up for everything—from marketing to delivery, from your family to your clients, from selling to serving? In this episode, I’m diving into something I see all the time with heart centered entrepreneurs (and feel myself too): constant context switching. That back-and-forth between life and business, between action and planning, between serving and showing up… it’s exhausting. And it’s the hidden reason so many capable business owners are stuck, spinning, or secretly thinking about quitting. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin, this conversation will help you create more flow, ease, and alignment in how you work, so you can make more income this summer without burning out. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

In this episode, I share a personal story about saying yes to a kid’s field trip—and the reminder I got when they said, “Mom, I’m sad you couldn’t make the last one.” Whether you’re working a 9–5, no job, full-time biz, or part-time biz, you can’t do it ALL, all the time without burning out. I dive into why pretending you should be able to do everything is exhausting, why boundaries around your work hours are essential, and how respecting those boundaries gives you the actual freedom to unplug and enjoy life. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur
