Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to she is Redefined, the podcast where we
break free from societalexpectations, redefine our
identities and step fully intothe woman we were always meant
to be.
I'm Katie Smith, your host andguide on this journey of
transformation.
Here we're all about embracingchange, cultivating confidence
and living life on our own terms.
Each week, we'll dive intotopics that inspire, challenge
(00:22):
and empower you to redefine whatit means to be you.
Into topics that inspire,challenge and empower you to
redefine what it means to be you.
So if you're ready to rewriteyour story and live life that's
bold, authentic andunapologetically yours, let's
dive in.
Welcome back to another episodeof she is Redefined and we are
going to talk about what'sprobably going to get taken up
quick here maybe, if not alreadyis.
(00:43):
I want you to redefine thehustle and finish the year
strong without burning out.
Now I'm going to actually pullback the curtain a little bit on
this episode.
So, like, count yourself luckyfor finding this and if you get
any value out of this, send itto your boss, babe friend, your
biz friend, your manifestationfriend, like any friend, and I
would just love that support,because I really want to help
(01:04):
more people intentionally spendthe holiday season and end the
year from a place of joy andsuccess and not burnout and
should haves and wish I did kindof language.
So, with nearing the end of theyear, you might be like me and
this is the time where the worldstarts shouting.
Or when I say be like me,you're like feeling the push,
(01:26):
like the world is telling you topush harder.
There are strategies on how togive yourself a raise before the
end of the year and double yourincome before the end of the
year.
Push harder, finish strong,squeeze every last bit out of
the year and blah, blah, blah.
Let me poke my eyes out.
Yeah, and while that motivationis can be something that you
want to get behind, my questionthat I ask myself is yeah, I
(01:50):
could do that, but at what cost?
And I want you to think aboutthat.
What happens when we'reconstantly sprinting, trying to
cram in as much as we can intothe last few weeks of the year?
We usually burn out or we makemistakes, miss things and end up
missing opportunities in thelong run because you're trying
(02:12):
to cram in a little bit moremoney, you know, squeeze some in
before the end of the year.
That is not a long-term vision,my friend.
So is there a better way?
Well, I have seemed to find oneand I'm going to share it with
you.
Is there a better way?
Well, I have seemed to find oneand I'm gonna share it with you
.
But what if finishing strongdidn't mean hustling at all?
What if it actually meantslowing down, getting
intentional and focusing on whattruly matters?
(02:33):
That is what I wanna share withyou today.
I wanna share how to redefinethe hustle and finish strong
without burning out.
Let's start with this why pushharder?
Do more.
Mentality at the end of the yeardoesn't actually help us, for
one.
Rushing through your goals bythe end of the year often leads
to sloppy, misaligned actions.
You're so focused on gettingthings done fast that you miss
(02:56):
the chance to do them well.
Also, this mentality puts youin a constant state of stress.
If you haven't listened to lastweek's episode, go back and
listen to that, because I talkall about this.
But your nervous system is onhigh alert, so like it's
thinking it's going to die anyminute.
That's what the flight or fightmode is.
And instead of enjoying yourprocess and like pouring in
(03:17):
service and love and alignmentinto what you're doing, and like
enjoying the process of theyear and what you've built.
You're then in panic mode aboutwhat hasn't been done yet
before 2025.
And that, literally, isexhaustion.
Not only that, it's coming froma place of you feel like you've
done nothing.
You feel worthiness, and Idon't want that for you.
(03:37):
So let's get real If hustlingharder at the end of the year
was the magic solution, wouldn'twe all be ending December
feeling like a million bucks,feeling like everything is
checked off our lists, we'regood, but instead but instead
most of us end the year feelingdrained, feeling like wishing we
had taken up more time to enjoythe process, wishing we were
(04:00):
more present with our kids, withour family, wishing we would
just look back and have a littlebit more gratitude, like I
remember very vividly I don'tremember what year it was, I
think it was last year, 2023,where I was watching some people
who I was following onInstagram at the time and they
were going like next level crazywith Black Friday, cyber Monday
, and then the week afterChristmas and before New Year's
(04:21):
where they were launching thiswhole huge thing, and I
literally remember thinking arethey not working at all?
They have 20 stories every day,they're doing these live calls
and like they're touting aboutit, which I think is great, but
at the same time, I feltexhausted for them, looking at
them, and it was like that's amajor distraction from looking
(04:41):
at your year of 2024, your yearprior of what you've been able
to accomplish.
And so the truth of the matteris, hustling is not the answer.
Alignment is, and I'm going toshow you how to do this without
ever having to focus onvisibility.
And if you love what I'm aboutto break down for you, you are
going to want to get your handson my six-figure overflow
(05:03):
strategy.
I literally give you theframework of what I do with my
VIP clients, who pay me lots ofmoney to give them a 90 day road
map that backs into theirincome goal with their current
book of business.
Yes, you heard that right.
I'm not talking about viralvisibility, new leads, the best
opt in pages, more lead magnets,a better sales funnel like shut
(05:24):
the hell up.
I hate that shit.
Is visibility important?
Maybe, but I'll show you how toscale your business by 40% with
your current book of businessin my VIP session.
So if that's your thing, I willshow you.
But anyways, if you want myframework and you're not ready
to have like a full 90-dayroadmap an hour together where I
go under the hood of yourbusiness.
You're going to want to getyour hands on my framework and
(05:45):
it is like a tenth of the costand it's boop.
It could be delivered to you inthree audio trainings,
literally while you're listeningto this, if you'd like that.
All right, so before we diveinto the actionable steps, I now
want to talk about my favoritething, which you're probably
thinking like I'm a brokenrecord, but it's so true.
I want to talk about hittingpause.
I want to talk about the pausebutton, like literally halting.
(06:06):
That's what I want to talkabout, because when was the last
time you gave yourselfpermission to actually pause and
take your foot off the gaspedal and reflect on what you've
already accomplished?
When, if you're not doing that,who is?
If you're not treating yourbusiness like it's a big
freaking deal, who is, who is?
Who do you expect to If you'renot celebrating every single
(06:27):
thing that you get?
Who do you think is going to Ifyou don't stop looking at your
business like it's this newrookie, like fresh out of the
oven business, like it's time tobuckle up buttercup and like
let's be a big girl now If yourbusiness has made money, start
looking at your business that itis a successful business and
take the training wheels off.
How can you do that?
(06:49):
When you reflect and youactually look at what you've
accomplished, like I'm coming inhot right now because I love
you and this is for you.
So let's not look at what'sleft to do, to like hit another
goal before 2024 ends, but let'slook at what you've already
done.
Let's celebrate that.
Let's take a moment to thinkabout it.
What were your wins this year,big and small?
(07:11):
Maybe you hit a major milestonein your business or in your
personal life.
Write it down.
Maybe it's something quieter,like learning to set boundaries
that is freaking monumental.
Or maybe it's learning how tosimply survive through a tough
season and you came out stronger.
Reflection is so powerfulbecause it shifts your focus
from lack to abundance.
(07:33):
Instead of feeling like you'rerunning around always out of
time, you start to see how muchyou've already done, and that
changes everything, my friend.
So here's a simple exercise.
Let's do it.
After this episode, take 10minutes to write down everything
you're proud of from this yearalone.
Celebrate those wins one by one, by one, as if you were about
(07:53):
to tell a speech, say a speechabout them.
You're walking up to the podiumand people are watching you.
I want you to literallycelebrate them, as if you're
going to do a speech because youearned an award.
That's the level of celebrationI want to talk about, because
when you're rooted in gratitudeand reflection, you're operating
from a place of strength, andthat is a vibration people
(08:14):
cannot mess with.
It's not scarce, it's strength.
You're the lion, you're goingafter it.
You got this.
You're the goddess Completeshift.
So how can you finish the yearstrong without hustling harder?
Here are a few steps to helpyou align your energy and stay
focused.
I want you to actuallyprioritize what really matters
(08:36):
to you, like.
Look at your goals for the restof the year and ask yourself
what's really important here.
Do I want a ton of new sales ordo I want a thriving community
of people who fucking loveeverything that I do?
They love my programs?
There's repeat buyers.
You can't really have both.
You can't focus on both.
So what is that?
What will move the needle foryou and bring you closer to life
(08:59):
, the life that you want, andwhat won't?
Focus on those things and thenlet the rest go.
It's a very fun exercise thatactually people find kind of
they have some resistance aroundit because no one wants to let
go or change anything, becausechange is obviously
uncomfortable.
Second is I want you to createspace for rest.
Rest is not lazy, rest isproductive.
(09:19):
Let me say that again Rest isnot lazy, rest is productive.
When you take time to recharge,you're giving yourself the
energy and clarity to makebetter decisions.
It's literally fact.
So remember rest fuels success.
Okay, none of the success lovesspeed crap that we all bought
into.
Actually, it's the opposite.
Rest fuels success.
(09:39):
You are the one who createssuccess.
You are the one who createsmomentum.
Stop acting like you need tocatch momentum.
Who's going to give it to you?
You are Number three setaligned intentions and not
unrealistic deadlines.
So what do I mean by that?
Instead of saying to yourself Ineed to accomplish X Y, z
before December 31st, try sayingwhat's one meaningful step that
(10:03):
I can take that will set me upfor success in the new year, in
2025.
Can you look beyond the 31st ofDecember?
Intentional, aligned actionswill always beat frantic, rushed
efforts.
And then step four is celebratethe journey.
Don't wait until the year isover to completely celebrate
(10:24):
your progress, find small waysto honor what you've done every
single day.
That celebration energy is somagnetic and it keeps you
motivated without ever tappingback into the hustle game which,
like I mean, once you're out,you're out and like you're, like
I'll never go back.
I mean, that's me, I'm a.
I'm a recovering hustler, okay,along with recovering people
pleaser, along with recoveringperfectionism, like I feel, like
(10:47):
I'm a whole new person and likeI love it because we're meant
to grow and evolve.
All right.
The last part I really wannatalk about here is the mindset
shift that I want you to takeaway is success doesn't actually
come from doing more faster.
Success doesn't come from lastminute pushes.
Success doesn't come fromsqueezing out every last drop.
(11:08):
It comes from actually slowingdown, aligning with your goals,
trusting the process and knowingthat everything starts and ends
with you.
You can have the best strategyout there.
You can keep looking for thebest strategy out there,
thinking that it's somewherehidden.
You just don't quite know.
And there's one secretbillionaire strategy playbook
out there.
I'm just going to get my handson it.
(11:29):
But you just watch, I'm goingto find it.
Good luck, you're going to findyourself racking up quite a bit
of debt on that.
You're going to find yourselffeeling more behind with that
and you're going to find thatyou're even farther from your
goals.
And what I just shared with youright now is my own experience.
I never had a problem investingin myself Never, ever, ever and
(11:50):
I've been open and honest aboutthat on this podcast I've
racked up more debt than I'dlike to admit, doing that
strategy which left me feelingempty in debt, which has a whole
emotional baggage with that andfeeling like worthless and I'm
never going to get there.
And that feeling fucking sucksuntil you realize, holy shit,
who's going to give me themomentum card Wait a minute.
(12:12):
Who's going to give me theperfect formula to go viral?
Because followers mean dollars.
I'm sorry.
What Like if I could show youclients that I've worked with
who have less than a thousandfollowers who are making more
money than me, I would.
If I could show you my own, Iwould Like it would blow your
socks off.
(12:33):
My small account with my emaillist of less than 300 people
makes me more money than peoplewho have 50,000 followers and
above, because I finally figuredthis shit out.
It's the mindset shift and it'sliterally thinking beyond every
sale.
Yeah, that's the trap thatpeople fall into Viral trends,
(12:55):
visibility.
And then the last part is Ijust got to get a sale.
Okay, I got one.
Wear 10 more.
I want 10 more, and then 10more.
Have fun on that hamster wheel.
I know exactly where it's goingto lead you.
You're chasing a carrot you'renever going to catch.
I don't want that for you.
So where can you find thatmindset shift?
Because the best part of thismindset shift is when you
(13:18):
finally pause and relax.
You get to enjoy life right infront of you, and it actually
means you're working smarter,not harder.
I said this on my last one.
These are exactly what my VIPintensives are all about.
I deliver to you a 90 dayroadmap with a custom six figure
plan.
Since I've been doing these VIPsessions, I have delivered a
$100,000 roadmap, $200,000roadmap and a $1 million roadmap
(13:44):
and everything in between.
I'm just giving you an idea ofwhat that looks like and I know
exactly how to back into that.
And this is no.
Let me create a low-ticket,mid-ticket, high-ticket offer no
, this is beyond.
Let me nurture high ticketoffer no, this is beyond.
Let me nurture my email list no, this is completely different
Strategies you never eventhought of before.
Because when I finally hit I'mdone my burnout moment, I had to
(14:06):
get really creative and I hadto hit pause.
I had to start planting plants.
I had to start doing thingsthat let me completely scale
back.
I stopped numbing myself.
I completely shifted everythingabout myself into chilling out
and like how can I just absorblife in every moment by moment
process.
And what happened from that ismy path was literally laid out
(14:27):
for me from God.
It was just like hey, now thatyou've chilled the fuck out,
katie, here you go and I startedfollowing it step by step by
step.
I started implementing things,not from a coach, from literally
me slowing down and gettingthese all of a sudden, random
ideas, and I startedimplementing them.
Guess what happened next?
You know this.
(14:47):
My income tripled in two weeksand it has not stopped.
I started delivering this to myone-on-one clients.
I've had 35% lifts in myone-on-one clients from their
current book of business and 40%.
No one has not hit 35% liftwith their current book of
business.
Can you imagine what that woulddo for your business?
If you chilled out on the frontand you thought about the back
(15:10):
and you thought about hey, howdo I lift the current book of
business I have?
I'll tell you what'll happen.
You will literally feel likeyou're getting paid to exist
because you're not relying onnew, new, new, turn and burn,
turn and burn.
So as you close out this year, Iwant you to define what success
looks like for you.
As you close out the year, Iwant you to celebrate yourself.
(15:30):
I want you to finish strong, inthe way that feels best to you.
You get to make the rules.
You get to say so.
Let's make this about alignmentand ease.
Can you end the year rich inease?
Who doesn't want to be wealthyin ease?
Rich in ease, celebratingeverything that you have,
(15:51):
celebrating how far you've come,because when one operates from
a place of flow and trust andclarity and gratitude, you're
not just finishing the yearstrong, you're setting yourself
up for even greater success inthe year ahead.
This is what I help people do.
Don't get caught up in the trap.
Do all this stuff before theend of the year, because you
might shoot yourself in the footand I don't want that for you.
You also might crush it.
(16:11):
Don't take my words tooseriously here, but you also
could crush it and that could go.
But I just ask when will enoughbe enough?
When can you relax?
And why not relax with yourfamily around and really soak up
memories?
Because I'll tell you one thingI didn't remember the gifts
people got me in the holidays.
I remember the people who werethere.
So think about that.
(16:33):
All right, thank you so much forlistening to this.
I feel like I took you tochurch.
I love you so much and if thisresonated with you, please share
it with someone who needs tohear it.
Let them know what alignedaction you're taking as you wrap
up the year.
Share that.
Be accountable, find anaccountability partner Like,
really let yourself go there,get more uncomfortable and then
you're gonna be more comfortablebeing uncomfortable and then
(16:55):
from there, it's game over.
All right, until next time,keep redefining your success on
your terms, because you've gotthis.
Love you bye.

let's be a big girl now If yourbusiness has made money, start
looking at your business that itis a successful business and
take the training wheels off.
How can you do that?
(06:49):
When you reflect and youactually look at what you've
accomplished, like I'm coming inhot right now because I love
you and this is for you.
So let's not look at what'sleft to do, to like hit another
goal before 2024 ends, but let'slook at what you've already
done.
Let's celebrate that.
Let's take a moment to thinkabout it.
What were your wins this year,big and small?
(07:11):
Maybe you hit a major milestonein your business or in your
personal life.
Write it down.
Maybe it's something quieter,like learning to set boundaries
that is freaking monumental.
Or maybe it's learning how tosimply survive through a tough
season and you came out stronger.
Reflection is so powerfulbecause it shifts your focus
from lack to abundance.
(07:33):
Instead of feeling like you'rerunning around always out of
time, you start to see how muchyou've already done, and that
changes everything, my friend.
So here's a simple exercise.
Let's do it.
After this episode, take 10minutes to write down everything
you're proud of from this yearalone.
Celebrate those wins one by one, by one, as if you were about
(07:53):
to tell a speech, say a speechabout them.
You're walking up to the podiumand people are watching you.
I want you to literallycelebrate them, as if you're
going to do a speech because youearned an award.
That's the level of celebrationI want to talk about, because
when you're rooted in gratitudeand reflection, you're operating
from a place of strength, andthat is a vibration people
(08:14):
cannot mess with.
It's not scarce, it's strength.
You're the lion, you're goingafter it.
You got this.
You're the goddess Completeshift.
So how can you finish the yearstrong without hustling harder?
Here are a few steps to helpyou align your energy and stay
focused.
I want you to actuallyprioritize what really matters
(08:36):
to you, like.
Look at your goals for the restof the year and ask yourself
what's really important here.
Do I want a ton of new sales ordo I want a thriving community
of people who fucking loveeverything that I do?
They love my programs?
There's repeat buyers.
You can't really have both.
You can't focus on both.
So what is that?
What will move the needle foryou and bring you closer to life
(08:59):
, the life that you want, andwhat won't?
Focus on those things and thenlet the rest go.
It's a very fun exercise thatactually people find kind of
they have some resistance aroundit because no one wants to let
go or change anything, becausechange is obviously
uncomfortable.
Second is I want you to createspace for rest.
Rest is not lazy, rest isproductive.
(09:19):
Let me say that again Rest isnot lazy, rest is productive.
When you take time to recharge,you're giving yourself the
energy and clarity to makebetter decisions.
It's literally fact.
So remember rest fuels success.
Okay, none of the success lovesspeed crap that we all bought
into.
Actually, it's the opposite.
Rest fuels success.
(09:39):
You are the one who createssuccess.
You are the one who createsmomentum.
Stop acting like you need tocatch momentum.
Who's going to give it to you?
You are Number three setaligned intentions and not
unrealistic deadlines.
So what do I mean by that?
Instead of saying to yourself Ineed to accomplish X Y, z
before December 31st, try sayingwhat's one meaningful step that
(10:03):
I can take that will set me upfor success in the new year, in
2025.
Can you look beyond the 31st ofDecember?
Intentional, aligned actionswill always beat frantic, rushed
efforts.
And then step four is celebratethe journey.
Don't wait until the year isover to completely celebrate
(10:24):
your progress, find small waysto honor what you've done every
single day.
That celebration energy is somagnetic and it keeps you
motivated without ever tappingback into the hustle game which,
like I mean, once you're out,you're out and like you're, like
I'll never go back.
I mean, that's me, I'm a.
I'm a recovering hustler, okay,along with recovering people
pleaser, along with recoveringperfectionism, like I feel, like
(10:47):
I'm a whole new person and likeI love it because we're meant
to grow and evolve.
All right.
The last part I really wannatalk about here is the mindset
shift that I want you to takeaway is success doesn't actually
come from doing more faster.
Success doesn't come from lastminute pushes.
Success doesn't come fromsqueezing out every last drop.
(11:08):
It comes from actually slowingdown, aligning with your goals,
trusting the process and knowingthat everything starts and ends
with you.
You can have the best strategyout there.
You can keep looking for thebest strategy out there,
thinking that it's somewherehidden.
You just don't quite know.
And there's one secretbillionaire strategy playbook
out there.
I'm just going to get my handson it.
(11:29):
But you just watch, I'm goingto find it.
Good luck, you're going to findyourself racking up quite a bit
of debt on that.
You're going to find yourselffeeling more behind with that
and you're going to find thatyou're even farther from your
goals.
And what I just shared with youright now is my own experience.
I never had a problem investingin myself Never, ever, ever and
(11:50):
I've been open and honest aboutthat on this podcast I've
racked up more debt than I'dlike to admit, doing that
strategy which left me feelingempty in debt, which has a whole
emotional baggage with that andfeeling like worthless and I'm
never going to get there.
And that feeling fucking sucksuntil you realize, holy shit,
who's going to give me themomentum card Wait a minute.
(12:12):
Who's going to give me theperfect formula to go viral?
Because followers mean dollars.
I'm sorry.
What Like if I could show youclients that I've worked with
who have less than a thousandfollowers who are making more
money than me, I would.
If I could show you my own, Iwould Like it would blow your
socks off.
(12:33):
My small account with my emaillist of less than 300 people
makes me more money than peoplewho have 50,000 followers and
above, because I finally figuredthis shit out.
It's the mindset shift and it'sliterally thinking beyond every
sale.
Yeah, that's the trap thatpeople fall into Viral trends,
(12:55):
visibility.
And then the last part is Ijust got to get a sale.
Okay, I got one.
Wear 10 more.
I want 10 more, and then 10more.
Have fun on that hamster wheel.
I know exactly where it's goingto lead you.
You're chasing a carrot you'renever going to catch.
I don't want that for you.
So where can you find thatmindset shift?
Because the best part of thismindset shift is when you
(13:18):
finally pause and relax.
You get to enjoy life right infront of you, and it actually
means you're working smarter,not harder.
I said this on my last one.
These are exactly what my VIPintensives are all about.
I deliver to you a 90 dayroadmap with a custom six figure
plan.
Since I've been doing these VIPsessions, I have delivered a
$100,000 roadmap, $200,000roadmap and a $1 million roadmap
(13:44):
and everything in between.
I'm just giving you an idea ofwhat that looks like and I know
exactly how to back into that.
And this is no.
Let me create a low-ticket,mid-ticket, high-ticket offer no
, this is beyond.
Let me nurture high ticketoffer no, this is beyond.
Let me nurture my email list no, this is completely different
Strategies you never eventhought of before.
Because when I finally hit I'mdone my burnout moment, I had to
(14:06):
get really creative and I hadto hit pause.
I had to start planting plants.
I had to start doing thingsthat let me completely scale
back.
I stopped numbing myself.
I completely shifted everythingabout myself into chilling out
and like how can I just absorblife in every moment by moment
process.
And what happened from that ismy path was literally laid out
(14:27):
for me from God.
It was just like hey, now thatyou've chilled the fuck out,
katie, here you go and I startedfollowing it step by step by
step.
I started implementing things,not from a coach, from literally
me slowing down and gettingthese all of a sudden, random
ideas, and I startedimplementing them.
Guess what happened next?
You know this.
(14:47):
My income tripled in two weeksand it has not stopped.
I started delivering this to myone-on-one clients.
I've had 35% lifts in myone-on-one clients from their
current book of business and 40%.
No one has not hit 35% liftwith their current book of
business.
Can you imagine what that woulddo for your business?
If you chilled out on the frontand you thought about the back
(15:10):
and you thought about hey, howdo I lift the current book of
business I have?
I'll tell you what'll happen.
You will literally feel likeyou're getting paid to exist
because you're not relying onnew, new, new, turn and burn,
turn and burn.
So as you close out this year, Iwant you to define what success
looks like for you.
As you close out the year, Iwant you to celebrate yourself.
(15:30):
I want you to finish strong, inthe way that feels best to you.
You get to make the rules.
You get to say so.
Let's make this about alignmentand ease.
Can you end the year rich inease?
Who doesn't want to be wealthyin ease?
Rich in ease, celebratingeverything that you have,
(15:51):
celebrating how far you've come,because when one operates from
a place of flow and trust andclarity and gratitude, you're
not just finishing the yearstrong, you're setting yourself
up for even greater success inthe year ahead.
This is what I help people do.
Don't get caught up in the trap.
Do all this stuff before theend of the year, because you
might shoot yourself in the footand I don't want that for you.
You also might crush it.
(16:11):
Don't take my words tooseriously here, but you also
could crush it and that could go.
But I just ask when will enoughbe enough?
When can you relax?
And why not relax with yourfamily around and really soak up
memories?
Because I'll tell you one thingI didn't remember the gifts
people got me in the holidays.
I remember the people who werethere.
So think about that.
(16:33):
All right, thank you so much forlistening to this.
I feel like I took you tochurch.
I love you so much and if thisresonated with you, please share
it with someone who needs tohear it.
Let them know what alignedaction you're taking as you wrap
up the year.
Share that.
Be accountable, find anaccountability partner Like,
really let yourself go there,get more uncomfortable and then
you're gonna be more comfortablebeing uncomfortable and then
(16:55):
from there, it's game over.
All right, until next time,keep redefining your success on
your terms, because you've gotthis.
Love you bye.
