The Productive Entrepreneur Podcast

Today we're digging into one of my favorite topics: business planning and goal setting for the new year. I so love this time of year! Now, I know this topic can feel a little overwhelming. Maybe you're staring at a long list of goals. You're not sure where to start with planning. Or maybe you're not even sure what goals to set. I get it. In this episode, we'll go behind the scenes of my 2025 planning process. I'll share what I've learned over the years, what I'm doing differently this year, and how you can apply these strategies to your own business. Just as a little sneak peek. . .I've shifted my approach over the years.

Today I'm chatting about something that hits close to home for many of us – money mindset blocks. You know what's wild? Recent studies show that women-owned businesses generate 44% less revenue than male-owned businesses. But here's the thing – this gap isn't necessarily about capability. It's often about our relationship with money and how we value ourselves. I'm going to share some real talk about this because, honestly, I've been there. Back when I first started my online business, I was seriously undercharging for my digital products. I'd spend weeks, sometimes months, creating a course, pack it with value, and then price it way below market rate because that little voice in my head kept saying, "Who am I to charge premium prices?" Today, we're going to break down those money mindset blocks, and I'll give you practical steps to build genuine financial confidence. Whether you're a service provider working from your home office or a digital product creator like me, you're going to walk away with real, actionable strategies to improve your relationship with money.

What if I told you that the difference between struggling and thriving isn't talent, luck, or even hard work? It's something far simpler – and today, you're going to learn exactly how to harness it. I see so many business owners spinning their wheels. They have great ideas, but they never seem to gain any traction. They work harder and harder, but their businesses feel like hamster wheels – lots of motion, zero forward movement. The solution? Consistency. Not the boring, robotic kind of consistency. I'm talking about strategic, intentional consistency. This isn't about perfection. It's about creating a framework that allows you to move forward, even when motivation feels impossible. It's about building systems that work for you, not against you. In this episode, I'm going to break down exactly how to create that consistency – the kind that separates successful businesses from the ones that never quite take off.

You know what question I hear all the time? "How do I find more hours in the day?" Well, unless you've got a time machine hidden somewhere, we're all stuck with the same 24 hours. But here's the thing – it's not about finding more time; it's about making the most of the time you've got. In this episode, I'm going to give you 11 time management strategies that actually work. And I'm not talking about those fancy theoretical systems that look good on paper but fall apart in real life. These are strategies I use all the time in my business, and they help me get more done while stressing less. And the cool part, is you don't have to implement all 11 at the same time. Put them in your toolbox of techniques and pull them out as needed. See the full show notes at toniakendrick.com/38 Connect with Tonia Website | Instagram | Membership
