You’ll also hear practical advice for staying out of overwhelm, managing your energy, and working through imposter syndrome when it pops up.If you prefer visuals, this episode also has a video version on YouTube where you can follow along with the slides and planning tools.TakeawaysYou are always making educated guesses in business, and clarity on impact and revenue comes after you start taking action.Prioritize projects by looking at both impact and effort, so you avoid overloading your quarter with too many big new things.Keep at least one visibility or sales-focused project in your Q1 plan so you are not hiding behind only behind-the-scenes work.Perfectionism slows progress. Your first version of anything (a blog, lead magnet, sales page, or offer) is practice, not the final product.Your time and your energy both matter. Block focused time during your highest-energy windows to make real progress on your plan.Resources MentionedGoal & Project Planner: https://whitneybateson.com/planProfit Planner: https://whitneybateson.com/profitCoaching Call: https://whitneybateson.com/coachConnect with Whitney:Follow Whitney on Instagram @whitneybatesonSubscribe & Review:If you’re enjoying the podcast, don’t forget to follow and leave a review!

If you’re ‘doing everything right’ and still stuck, the missing piece isn’t strategy… it’s inner work”We love a good plan - launch calendars, funnels, courses, credentials. But if you’re skipping the inner work, you’ll keep checking boxes without seeing the results you want. In this energizing conversation, coach Christine Thomson explains why so many dietitians (and therapists/coaches) feel misaligned or stalled even when they’re “doing everything right.” We talk through the beliefs that quietly sabotage pricing, visibility, and consistency; how to stop taking clients’ results personally; and the mindset shifts that make your strategy finally land. Christine also shares a simple, 10-minute “mental hygiene” practice you can start today, plus a self-pep-talk prompt you’ll want to save: “Who am I to be doing this?” (and how to answer it powerfully).TakeawaysThe missing piece behind stalled launches and stalled growth.How to know when mindset, not your offer or funnel, is the real problem.Detaching from client outcomes and why taking results personally drains your confidence.A 10-minute daily “mental hygiene” routine to manage thoughts before they manage you.The self-pep-talk script to use when imposter thoughts pop up.Go Deeper with Christine:Website: https://www.manipuracentre.co Podcast: https://www.manipuracentre.co/podcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/money.mindset.dietitian/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/christinedyanrd Connect with Whitney:Follow Whitney on Instagram @whitneybatesonSubscribe & Review:If you’re enjoying the podcast, don’t forget to follow and leave a review!
