How perfecting your processes can streamline your positioning & marketing and increase efficiency with Susan Boles
I think my favorite podcast episodes are the ones where I get to chat with someone who’s at a similar level about the real nitty-gritty aspects of business. This episode is exactly that as my guest and I get into all sorts of great stuff about having a broad skillset, positioning yourself well and how to tell if your marketing investments are good ones.
Susan Boles is a Virtual CFO and Operations Advisor for coaches, consultants and agencies. Through her business Scale Spark, she helps businesses run more efficiently and understand the financial health of their business.
Susan starts by telling us about her background in data and finance and how these inform her holistic work as a virtual CFO today. She also shares why she loves working with service businesses in particular and how she helps them streamline their workflows so they deliver standout results with less time and hustle.
We then dig into how Susan positions herself despite having a super unique job title and why her clients appreciate her broad and deep perspective. We also talk about what she suggests when it comes to marketing and how she evaluates whether her business investments have paid off or not.
There is so much great stuff packed into this conversation, I can’t wait for you to hear it.

Hey there. I know what it's like to try and fail over and over again. I've been through all the mindset ups and downs, feeling like a failure and wondering why it's so hard to attract amazing clients consistently.
I finally realized, more recently that I'd like to admit, I was still hiding. I was afraid to put my work into the world in case no one wanted it. What I really wanted was for someone to say, "hey you, your stuff is great, come share it with my audience". Finally I realized that that would never happen, not until I started first.
Putting out my content and message into the world had to begin with me. I committed to showing up consistently and building my own meaningful relationships. The result? Much more clarity about how to gain visibility and grow my brand. And, of course, THIS PODCAST which I'm thrilled to host!
