The Classy Career Girl Podcast

Ready to ditch the hustle? ✨ The final quarter of the year is here, and it's time to build a business that works for you—even while you're sleeping. This week, we're wrapping up our Q3 training on scaling smart, focusing on how to create simple systems that sell on autopilot. 💰 I've been using these exact strategies since I had my first daughter and needed to step away from the constant grind. It's how I built a business that gives me time, freedom, and flexibility. And now, I’m showing you how to do the same. What's Inside the CRP Training? This training is all about the three-part framework for a thriving, low-stress business: Simple Funnels: Turn strangers into paying clients automatically. We're talking about a step-by-step journey that builds trust so your clients are 80-90% ready to buy before they even talk to you. Email Marketing: Your email list is your #1 asset! Social media algorithms can change in an instant, but your email list is something you own. Learn how to nurture your audience with automated sequences and weekly newsletters. Evergreen Offers: Sell on autopilot, year-round! These are digital products or memberships that you build once and sell many times, allowing you to generate consistent revenue without constant launching. What's Next? A 90-Day Boot Camp! This training is just the beginning. I'm so excited to announce our "Magic Income Streams" boot camp, starting October 1st! This is our new 90-day challenge designed to help you create multiple income streams and build a solid foundation for an incredible 2026. I'll be giving you the worksheets, templates, and strategies to map out and launch your own offers. Let's make Q4 the quarter you get ahead, not just survive.

How do you pivot after 20 years in an established career? I'm thrilled to feature Tracey Coates, a recent graduate of the Classy Career Girl® Certified Career Coach program, who did just that. After two decades as a practicing family law attorney, Tracey felt she had hit a plateau. She was ready to expand her impact beyond the courtroom. She embarked on an entrepreneurial journey, opening her own firm and simultaneously pursuing a certification in career coaching. Her new mission: to guide other professional working mothers who feel stuck or bored in their careers toward new levels of success and fulfillment. Tracey found our program provided the essential structure she needed. In her words, it offered a "realistic, step-by-step roadmap" with practical tools and organizational systems that allowed her to launch her coaching practice efficiently, even with the demands of a full-time career. Tracey's journey is a powerful testament to the fact that it's never too late to redefine your career and add new, fulfilling dimensions to your professional life. Her success demonstrates that with the right resources, you can build a new venture on the foundation of your existing expertise. Congratulations on your graduation, Tracey!

Afraid your boss will find out about your side business? 🤫 That fear can stop you from even starting. You're not alone—I felt the exact same way when I was building Classy Career Girl®. But let me tell you, when I finally stopped hiding and started showing up as my authentic self, everything changed. That's when I started to get features in Forbes and the Wall Street Journal, and my business really took off! In this week's podcast episode, I’m sharing my story and giving you my top three tips for building your business on the side without the fear. Here’s a sneak peek at what we'll cover: Review your contract: I'll show you what to look for to ensure your side hustle is in the clear. Set clear boundaries: I'll share how to separate your day job and your business, even if you work from home. Use privacy strategies: Learn how to use a brand alias (like I did with Classy Career Girl!) to build your brand without putting your name on it. Your future is waiting for you. It's time to stop letting fear hold you back! P.S.

In a world full of algorithms and automation, it's easy to feel lost or wonder if your career path still makes sense. I hear you, and it's a question many are asking right now! But here's the truth I've seen firsthand since 2011: While AI is changing the landscape, it can never replace the power of human connection, empathy, and purpose. At Classy Career Girl, we don't chase fleeting trends. We equip you with timeless strategies and foster the "human skills" that are more valuable than ever: clarity, confidence, and the ability to build meaningful relationships. These are the skills that help you truly stand out. I learned early on that real career security isn't about a paycheck; it's about being aligned with who you are and bravely pursuing your calling. That's why our programs, like Corporate Rescue Plan and Career Coach Certification, focus on building unshakeable foundations, not just quick fixes. Want to discover your unique path and create a career that genuinely lights you up? Let's talk about how our proven frameworks can help you gain the clarity and confidence to thrive in 2025 and beyond.

🚨 Calling all women ready for a purposeful, profitable business! 🚨 The workforce is shifting in a HUGE way. People are facing layoffs, burnout, and realizing they can't spend one more year in a job that doesn't light them up. They're feeling lost and NEED guidance more than ever before. This isn't just a trend – in 2025, the demand for specific, results-driven career coaching is absolutely booming!

It's practical, focused, and incredibly powerful. And guess what? As women, we are uniquely positioned to lead here. We understand navigating tough transitions, we lead with both heart AND strategy, and the world desperately needs that support, encouragement, and a plan. If you've ever thought, "I wish I could help people figure out their next step" or "I want to make an income doing something that matters," then starting a career coaching business could change your life, just like it changed mine back in 2014.

Alright, let's get real for a minute. I’m spilling the beans on my very real attempt at 12 daily habits for success and happiness. And let me tell you, it's a journey, not a destination! Look, I'm a mom, I run a business, and life is…well, it’s a beautiful chaos. I used to think I had to be this super-achiever, nailing every single thing, every single day. But honestly? That's just not sustainable, especially now. So, I created this list of 12 things I try to do. Key word: try. I want you to know, I don’t hit all 12 every day. Sometimes, I’m lucky if I get a few done! But here’s the thing: even a little bit makes a huge difference. I’ve seen it in my own life. These habits? They’ve helped me launch my physical planner, they keep me sane, and they make me happier. So, what are these magical habits? Let me break it down: Workout/Stretching: I aim for some kind of movement, even if it's just a walk. Reading Personal Development: Kindle app is my lifeline right now, especially during those early morning feedings. Goal Review: I keep my annual goals front and center. It helps me stay focused. Gratitude Journaling: Three things I'm grateful for, every single day. Affirmations: Positive self-talk is powerful, I promise. Writing/Journaling: Even a little bit of writing helps me process and connect. Hydration: I pre-fill my water bottles, otherwise, it's a lost cause. Top Priority Work: I dedicate time to my most important business tasks. Vitamins: Gotta take 'em! Quiet Time/Meditation: Even a few deep breaths make a difference. Green Smoothies: Sneaking in those veggies! Devotionals: It keeps me grounded. I'm sharing these habits with you because I want you to know that you're not alone in the struggle. We're all just trying to figure it out, one day at a time. And honestly, even the small wins add up. I’d love to hear from you! What are your daily habits? Which of these resonate with you?

Today I'm re-releasing a highly requested podcast episode on "How to Grow a Side Hustle From Home." It's a topic I'm deeply passionate about, as I've walked this path myself. One of the most important lessons I've learned is: "Don't attach yourself to a person, a project, a company, or an organization. Instead, attach yourself to a goal, a calling, a mission, or a purpose." This mindset shift is crucial for taking control of your career and building a fulfilling business. I encourage you to listen to the episode and consider how these principles can guide your professional journey. #sidehustle #entrepreneurship #careerdevelopment #professionalgrowth #classycareergirl
