Kris Plachy: Hey, I'm Kris Plachy, host of the Lead Your Team podcast. Running a million dollar business is not easy, and whether you are just getting started with building your team or you've been at this for a while, I'm going to bring you honest, specific and clear practices you can use. Right now today to improve how well you lead your team.

Let's go ahead and get started.

Hello everybody. Welcome. Welcome to this episode of the podcast. So what we thought would be kind of fun is to have an interview today for you with Natalie Bacon, who is a life coach. She is amazing and lovely, and has a beautiful business and program called Grow. You. Where she helps high performing and high achieving women, you know, moms and women who are really needing to invest in themselves and do the work of really exploring who they wanna be and what they wanna create in the world in a way that feels authentic to them.

Uh, focusing on self-care and confidence, relationships, goal setting, family dynamics, you name it. All of that is in, uh, the work that Natalie does. And she's just, I just, the word I keep wanting to say is lovely. She's, uh, she has a wonderful spirit about her. And we had this really interesting intersection, which we talk about in the podcast, but Natalie is a client also just is wrapped up participating in the how to c e O program.

So we spent some time in this interview talking about her and her business and her evolution and growth as a ceo. She's just coming up on that million dollar mark. So she, like many of you, I imagine, can identify with those struggles of scaling and adding people and needing a lot of people to help you.

Not necessarily people, but responsibilities and need more help, and yet, you know, you're still sort of growing and don't have all the revenue and all those pieces. So she shares some great insight about being in the Hadda CEO program, what she took away, what she learned, and as we're talking about this here, the first part of January, we're going to be opening up registration for the Hatta ceo starting on January 20th.

This is the time now to, if you've been planning on it and thinking about it, this will be your opportunity to join me and work with me. So I hope that the conversation that Natalie and I have helped you with that decision and helps you move forward to figure out if this is what you wanna invest in here at the beginning of the year, both for you and your team and your business.

So let's turn it over to the conversation I have with Natalie. Let's get started right now.

Hey, Natalie, thank you so much for being here on the podcast today. I am honored. Thank you so much for having me. Oh, I'm thrilled to have you here. So we, um, our paths have intersected a few times right through Life Coach School, um, and I am, I think I have this vague memory of seeing you at a. An event or something from afar.

I don't know. I feel like I've seen you in person as in as much as I've seen you on Instagram. That's probably true. And now you're on, on Zoom calls. But, um, and then, you know, we have an interesting story as we were just talking about in the pre-show discussion, right? That, that your. Marketing firm reached out to me to come on my podcast and we said, yeah, well we usually only interview people who are clients.

And I said to Michelle, yeah, but I know who she is. I think it'd be an interesting conversation cuz she's built this really gorgeous business. And then all along you had just registered. For the how to c e O program? Yes. Yes. How? Like at the exact same time, I just think it, it was so serendipitous. Yeah. It was destiny for us to all be here and talk about all the things.

So why don't you first just start off and tell us who you are and what you do and who you help, and, All the things. Yes. So my name is Natalie Bacon. I help women and moms [email protected]. I'm a life coach, so my bread and butter of my business is a coaching program called Grow You. It's a membership site.

Um, I have a backend program that's. A little bit more geared towards business, but generally I am just helping the women who want to take those personal development podcasts kind of and actually apply it, right? Yes. So there's coursework and coaching and, and all that good stuff. And as I've built that over the last couple of years, and I originally was kind of a money blogger, so I really transitioned my site totally.

Yeah, you didn't know that. I didn't though. Oh, that would be fun to talk about. We're gonna get into that. Okay. Go ahead. Oh boy. Yes. So, so yeah. Um, I should say I used to be a lawyer and I had a bunch of student loan debt, and then I started a personal finance blog, which kind of got me familiar with I. You know, having an online business in a very small scale.

Mm-hmm. Like the extra few thousand a month to pay for those law school loans. And then I got introduced to life coaching and became a life coach and built the business that way. Mm-hmm. Um, and I would say that I. Most of my journey, I've, I haven't felt stuck in a, in a way where I didn't have the next step in front of me or wanting to figure it out until, um, building a team.

And I say that because it, it felt just from the, you know, my experience over the last few months, it felt like it came out of nowhere. Mm-hmm. And I didn't anticipate. Wanting or needing the skills to manage and lead in the way that you do with the team. Mm-hmm. And that's when I really started binging on all of your content and podcasts.

And, um, at the time, you know, my business is just under a million, about 500 k. To me that feels like just under mm-hmm. A million or next Yeah, of course it's yes. Right. And, um, that is when I really decided I need help. Mm-hmm. More than just her podcast. And it was such perfect timing. You had just come out with, had a c e o and I, I didn't even get through.

The entire webinar with you and I, I bought, I'm in. That's what I need. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's really great that you were able to be honest with yourself about that. I think, um, I've, I work with a lot of clients who sort of have a tantrum about having to deal with a team or manage a team or figure that out, and so they delay getting help.

The opposite. They don't wanna have to deal with it. Yeah. They don't want it to be complicated or hard. And so good for you for kind of diving in and um, I didn't know you were a money blogger, so you went to law school. Yes. Did, were you gonna do any particular kind of law? Were you, what was your Yes, so I was a lawyer.

I worked at a law firm, Uhhuh, I, yep. I did corporate law. Okay. So, and I didn't even mind the work. It's just a certain lifestyle when you work at a really big law firm mm-hmm. That, you know, is different than I wanted to really live. But I, I had a really great job by, Lawyer standards. I, I didn't, you know, hate it.

It's just working nonstop and kind of feeling like it doesn't really end ever so well, it's all about really right, like getting on the partnership track and I mean, that's where the illustrious and the money is, right? Yep. Absolutely. Yeah. And I, I thought, well, let's learn some things about money. And so then I, I did, yeah.

And then you blogged about that. Yes. And then I became a C F P. I left that part out in the short story. Oh, okay. Yes. Fair enough. So you were helping people with their money. Yes. And then that's when you realize all of the problems people have in their brains. Yes. And I realized, right. Well, and I realized how you create money is not the same as managing.

And so I. Decided you can create money doing anything, any way you wanna provide value to the world. It doesn't have to be money management. You could do it in a number of ways. So I decided to do the life coaching route because that just resonated so much more with me and how I wanted to serve the world.

Mm-hmm. And then I realized that you can't just do it all on your own. Well, you can and then you, and then you, but you only make so much. And like if you try to fight that you sacrifice your own energy. Cuz I, I actually enjoyed a little bit of the hustle in the beginning because it was, it was like my baby and my side hustle and um, and then you have it as your own business and, um, You're like, okay, the money's really nice, but I'm still working so much.

Mm-hmm. I wanna get this team in place. Mm-hmm. Like, that's the next step. Mm-hmm. So here we sit. Yes. Yes. So here you are. Okay. So I still wanna dig in a little bit though, because, you know, I sort of have this framework I always use in my mind that female entrepreneurs have to develop their relationship with their time, their money, their team, their business, and themselves.

Yes, I remember. Yeah. So your relationship with your money, we were on a coaching call yesterday and you said, I don't have any problem with money. And I always love when people say that because so many other people have a problem with their money. So what do you think as a woman who's now. CEO of her business running a successful business, scaling a successful business, what is it that you believe about money, like you've already said, right?

You just create money, but like, let's just, just dig into that for a minute. Like, what do you really believe about money and, and how do you help other women with that? I'm curious. So I'll start by answering that about how I have a relationship with my money. It's. A really gentle relationship. I take such care of my money and I, I appreciate my money and I never talk bad about my money.

Like it's, I'm very protective of it. It's very funny to tell other people. It's like you're talking about a baby or a puppy. That's how I feel. I'm like, I, I check in on my money. I'm like, oh, good. You're, you're all there. You're doing great. I just have the utmost respect for it. Um, and I, I have to say, I was not just naturally like this at all.

Mm-hmm. So I do wanna say to the person who's not there yet with mm-hmm. Those money beliefs that if you just keep at it, it will click. But you kind of have to earn that, that breakthrough, I think. Mm-hmm. Um, but for me now, and it's, it's not like, you know, I have tens of millions of dollars in the bank yet, right?

Mm-hmm. It's not, it's not because of the amount in there. Mm-hmm. Um, I just choose. To hold it in the highest regard and think that it's mine to take care of, but I don't hold too tightly. Like I like the flow of money. Mm-hmm. I like to create it and I like to let it go. Those are the thoughts that serve me.

I always think that money is easy to create. Mm-hmm. Um, whenever I reach the next level of money, whatever that is. Right. When I hit 500 k or. You know, when I have hundreds of thousands in the bank, like that's new, right? Um, mm-hmm. I, I allow space to increase that capacity. Mm. Um, cuz there's a little bit of nerves like, oh, I can have this much money.

Like, it's like, yeah. And for some of us, right? It's like I should spend it. Yes. Right. Versus just the capacity to have. It's funny, uh, Brooke Castillo, who we both know clearly is a good friend of mine, and she and I were having a conversation and I started making really good money and I wanted to do my kitchen, and she's like, can you just have the money?

Like, why do you gotta give your money a job? Right. I was like, know I, but I want a new kitchen. I know. And then it's like allowing space to just want that. Yeah. Without actually taking action and spending it right away. Mm-hmm. Right. You're like, you can have the kitchen, but let's just wait a second.

Mm-hmm. I think, yeah. And I, I think that there's a parallel with what we do with our, with people is we want someone really bad to help us. We're desperate. We're desperate. We're desperate. And then we rush to fill that void in ourselves, and that's when we usually make our worst hiring mistakes, right. Was when we're in a hurry.

So I love everything that you've said. I, I remember, um, I think Brooke taught me this. I don't really know but her, but what I, the thought that I have, that I've believed for years is, um, my money finds me. Love that. Yeah. Right. And so that's that way that also helped me recover from fears about asking people for money.

It's like, I'm not asking you for your money, I'm asking you to give me mine. Yes. One of the thoughts that I love is that money doesn't come from people. It comes through people. Yeah. That's lovely. Yeah. And when we really focus on that, I think a lot of people clinging to it and they have a hard time with that thought process.

But I love that. And then the other one came from Christine Kane, who I studied years ago, that money needs a map. Interesting. Interesting. So you have to give your money arteries to to flow. Right. When you don't have good arteries, you don't have money either. So, well, I, I will probably learn more about that from Emily Sandberg, who I hired after listening to her in the hottest CEO program.

Fabulous. Fantastic. She is, she's one of our guest experts. She's gonna be a guest expert again. I saw. Amazing. She's also gonna do the program. She's so good. She's fantastic. She coached me on such a high level. Yeah. Ugh. Yeah, she's brilliant. She's wonderful. And everybody needs an Emily, so I, she's been a huge part of my success.

So I really, oh, there's my puppy. I really love her. Okay. So money is your wheelhouse in terms of just naturally, but then you really also invest in helping women and moms sort of manage their thinking and their minds and be, and their overall sort of brain health wellness. Yeah. Yes, absolutely. And what I've found in the last probably six months with my growth is that my energy has been, Um, directed so much more towards the team in a way that I wasn't prepared for.

Cuz I'm used to having so much else time and space for like the content and the vision mm-hmm. And the marketing and, and I, I feel really expansive when I think about those topics. I really love them. Yeah. And I just, I wasn't prepared for what comes with the team. I think you said it once on a podcast episode that.

Like, we don't realize how much went into us learning our craft. Mm-hmm. So it's like, Training someone new on the team without knowing what you've taught me was not working. Yeah, exactly. It's what's so, it's so in ingrained in you. Right. So, so let's talk about that. How many people do you have on your team right now?

So I have four Plus Me. Okay. And they're contractors, Uhhuh, but they, they're, they're working. They're doing it. Um, and I will say, yeah, the. Gosh, one of the biggest shifts that I've had just from doing your program was when I first started, cause I've had a few of them for a little while. It, I really felt like the owner entrepreneur, where I was just delegating work to whoever was free.

I. Oh, whoever could do it. Whoever's available. Yeah. Right. And no one had roles, no one had responsibilities other than get it done. Mm-hmm. But there's, there's an advantage to that. Sounds like they were all, they're all generalists. They can all do everything. Yeah. You know, there is, if someone needs coverage, there's someone else there, there's a loom video.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Right. But yeah. The downside of that, and you kind of said it in in the program, was I'm the the one then who will always be responsible for everything. Mm-hmm. Yeah. For directing it and Yeah, managing it and oversight. Yeah. Yes. And I felt that, and I have to say, it's so fun to go through programs, if any of you listening, like a good program to consume, right?

Mm-hmm. We all love that. Mm-hmm. But there was a point about halfway through the program where I said, I have got to. Do the work. Do the program. Right? Yeah. And more than just getting coach, which is fun too, but like actually implement it. Mm-hmm. And I scheduled a full week, probably a full 40 hours of just redoing everything You did.

Job descriptions. Yes. Job descriptions with their, everyone has their own responsibility, doc and Uhhuh. It was a lot of work. It was so worth it. Yeah. I feel like. A weight has lifted. Mm-hmm. Not because like task items are done, but because now I feel like. I see the business differently. Mm-hmm. In a way that it's just a bunch of roles put together.

Yeah. You can make up the roles or move them around. And I was like, even, I'm just a role, like having that light bulb moment that mm-hmm. My business isn't actually a part of me. Mm-hmm. And being a little bit more detached mm-hmm. Was so freeing. It's, it's hard to explain. It's so powerful. Well, it's, you know, it's like we talked about on the call yesterday, right?

We were talking to. I think it was Nancy, right? And she was like, how do you, even when you're so overwhelmed and you have so much going on, how do you even have time to hire someone and then train them? Like it's, it's just easier for me to do it myself. And I was talking about how we go from me. To we to she or he.

Right. Whoever the person is that's gonna do the work. But that, that we part, which is what you're constructing, right? You, you were, me when you and I, when you first started in the program, now you're transitioning into we, which is when part of that we is not just the team, it's the business. The business gets a seat at the table now.

Whereas before, you were the only representative of the business. Right. Yes. And I love it because it puts less, you know, oh, I know personally some of the people who work for me, which is then a learning experience as well. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Um, it's so fun, but to kind of make sure I don't have extra head drama in there.

Right, right. This has helped so much because it's less about. Making sure they're happy or even worse, like making sure they like me or attempting to make sure they're happy with me. It's like, no, this is just what the business needs. Exactly. And that is so freeing in a way that's really hard too. To say without going through it, it was well, and I would imagine it's better for them too, right?

Because it's so much better. It's not as, I mean, you get to keep the personal connections with people. That doesn't change. It just makes everything clearer. Everybody knows how to win. I. And success is clearly defined. And you know, the whole leadership operating system that we teach right around your vision and your values and your expectations and your team culture, building that business brain so that when things don't go the way that you want, You have built it already, so you're not relying on your own judgment and your emotional stability in the moment, right?

Like, oh no, let me remember. I wrote out their responsibility deck, so that's somewhere for me to reference. It's so good. It's so helpful. Yeah. I can't even tell you how helpful it is because it just creates that separation that wasn't there before and they love it. Yeah. Um, it also helped them realize, you know, we don't have processes for these things because then they got so good at it.

Right. If they've been there. You know, and I want them to take time off and other people, like life events happen, right? Mm-hmm. So you want to have it have these roles in place where this person's in the role right now, and I hope that she stays forever, right? But maybe not, and that's okay too. Mm-hmm.

It's just like you create this system, operating system, right? And it mm-hmm. It works. It's, I'm like, you can, I, I told I love when, I love that. It's so simple. It really does work. All right. I, when you do it, it's good. And I wanna emphasize too, because I've gotten a couple emails from people who started in the same time You did.

And you know, it's the sheepish. Kind of like, I ha I find I kind of disappeared. I, I got overwhelmed. I had this happen in my life. Uh, all the covid, right? We've had the covid and there's this shame or humiliation or embarrassment of like, I'm not keeping up or I'm not doing it right. And what I believe about all of this, you know, the blueprint we teach you guys and walk you through doesn't change.

It doesn't matter if it takes you 12 weeks or six months or 12 months or whatever. The shame, that shame and that humiliation, that worry that I didn't do it right is not serving you to step in. And so just to your point, if you can carve two days outta your schedule and just plow through it and get a lot of things done, that's good news because that's, once you've built those responsibility decks in your words, or the org chart or the job descriptions, or the vision or the values, it's.

Built. Yes, a hundred percent. And I have to say, I didn't do the entire program. Like there's a lot in there. So yeah, I just feel really solid with this new foundation. Right, right. And I have meetings every Monday now, which is so fun. But I that. I know it's so fun. Like, can I do this? It, it's so weird, right?

You dance very, very grown up. So that right? Yeah. That's kinda how it feels. Um, but you know, it's, it's like, okay, I don't do one-to-ones yet. Right? We have this thing in Slack where we do open floors. Um, so the next thing I wanna start is one-to-ones. And so I have this framework that you created, right?

And knowing that whatever I want to schedule in at, at whatever time, I can do ongoing. Yeah. And as your business grows more of those, you know, sometimes I think when you, you know, if you have four contractors, they, it may not feel as important as once you have 15 people and then it's like, okay, wait a minute.

I don't know what anybody's doing. I need one-on-ones regularly. So the frameworks and those fundamentals are there regardless of the size of your business because. And I, what I love about what I'm listening to, and the way that you're talking about it, is the way you are thinking about your role, which your role is ultimately the way you think about yourself as the c e o of this business.

It's what's gonna. Drive the team success, which of course will drive all the scalability of your business. So I'm kind of curious, you're we're just finished, right? We're, I mean, we have two more weeks of office hours, but technically it's been 12 weeks. What do you think about what you know now? Like what, what, how has this been abled outside of the tactics that you've implemented?

How has this changed the dynamic of your business? Hmm. This work, when I joined, it was at a, it was a high point of stress and overwhelm around the team. Mm-hmm. I had two people leave and I like right when I had signed up, just coincidentally perfect. Like in the right, in the same weekend, like right when I had signed up.

So That's okay. I, you know, and I was taking it so personally, so outside of the tactics, I really felt like. I'm not cut out for this or this is too much. Like, I don't know how there was kind of that I, it wasn't self-pity, but it was like stuckness a little bit. Mm-hmm. Right? Mm-hmm. And now it's so funny, there's like this different energy around it where I'm more confident in my role, but it's not dependent on.

The team's outcomes. It's not dependent on the people I have. Mm-hmm. So I feel like I understand how the business is supposed to operate on the back end. Mm-hmm. And there's still that fluidity. Right. I think it's really fun to have like a talent development plan and like play around. Right. So fun. But I just, um, I feel like I get it.

I feel like I have stepped into being a leader. Mm-hmm. And feeling confident as a leader. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That I just didn't. Know where to find that confidence from prior to. That's so good. I love that. No, it's really insightful too, because that's, you know, I was talking with another client just before this and she's got somebody on her team that we've been working together for over a year, and this person just, it just keeps always, it just always comes back to this person.

And so I had her go through, Her business. And I'm like, tell me about the processes you have in place for this part of your business for this. And she went through all of them and she got to the last one. And I said, so tell me about that. And she's like, oh, I don't even think about that. That works like clockwork.

I said, right. So what we know is that person. That's there, that role. You need the role, but the person in the role is the bottleneck for both of those other two parts of your business. And so we know what the role is, we know what the responsibilities are of that role, but the body in the role is lovely, but not delivering.

Right. And so I don't ever, you know, I, I'm not like incredibly clinical about this in terms of how I deal with real human beings, but I do think. You have to have that kind of perspective. If you're looking at your business as a, as a dynamic organism that needs all its pieces and parts to succeed, and I'm glad those two people quit because I know what would've happened is you would've needed a lot of coaching cuz you would've done too much changing to probably make it.

It wouldn't have worked. Like that's, it's actually good when people leave on their own sometimes. Yeah. And what I love about having the roles down on paper, cuz I remember thinking, well, I kind of know the roles. It's d, it's different when you just think you know the roles in your head versus actually having.

Job descriptions and responsibility docs. Mm-hmm. And it's such a different certainty about the roles and the, the org chart right now. I, I feel so confident in them that that's the standard. Mm-hmm. And, and then it's, it's almost like this is what the business needs. And it just takes that sense of making it so personal, which is like the natural tendency I think, in the.

This journey, especially in the service business, right? When it really has been. So about you and as a coach, I mean, that's, those are some of the harder ones to transition because it it is you, the business. Yeah. Initially, yeah. But then we build systems for it. And then you're not doing it all the time.

Yes. It's so fun. So what would you tell, like, I, I talked to someone even today who said, listen, I just don't, I'm never gonna get good at this. I'm never gonna be good at managing and, and managing and leading a team, and I don't wanna do it. I would say you don't have to do it full-time forever. Mm-hmm. But you need to learn it.

Do it for a little while and then you can bring in help to help you do it. That's exactly what I told her. Really? Okay. That's exactly what I told her. I'm like, listen, this is not a forever deal, but you have to know, because I've coached people who did hire people to come in and manage their company for them that didn't work out so well cuz they didn't understand anything that person was doing.

Yeah. Yeah. So what you've done is really great cuz you've invested in yourself and now you know, no matter what you can, the, the example I gave right, is you can always go back and change the tire right to right. You don't need to always, you can hire people to change the tire, but you know that if you were stuck stranded on a highway somewhere, you could take care of it.

Absolutely. Yeah. And there are still things that I do sometimes, but now it's that, you know, in the future I don't wanna be doing. But it's different because now I see, oh, oh, this is my director of marketing hat that I have on now. Mm-hmm. Like I, I don't feel the tension because I'm not thinking in the moment.

Oh, I shouldn't be doing this. Oh, should someone else should be doing it. I'm like, no, I'm just stepping in the director of marketing. I have a role, this role, and this is the role I'm in. Right. It's good. I love it. It works. That's so fun. So what are, what kind of plans do you have for your business going forward?

What are you doing? What's up? I just started Facebook ads yesterday. For the first time. That's exciting. Yeah. So I'm gonna really, I mean, I have a, a, a person and I'm working with her. Mm-hmm. Um, so that's my, my big focus for the next year. And scaling to a million. Right, right. To getting that, you know, the, the full-time employees and stepping out even more.

You don't even need full-time employees. You don't need employees at a million. Love to hear that. Just a team. Yes. Yes. That's the one thing I, I have learned, you know, in my own journey, is you have to be clear about the kind of business you want. So if you want a big business with employees and benefits and all of the pieces and parts, then build that.

Totally built that. Some of us don't want that. I'm speaking personally also like I've been, I have managed 250 people, like I'm good. I don't want that. And so I'm intentionally building my business the way that I want it to be. But your growth, right? So then when you think about where you wanna go, have you thought about your talent plan?

Because you said, you mentioned it, so what kind of bodies and roles you'll need in your business? Going forward. Yeah. My, my biggest tire, I'm hoping a year from now is like a full-time coo, o o, that coo, who I really think I have someone who helps with ops, but not to the level that I think I could have someone in that role for.

That's, yeah, 100% next. Yeah, that's that. You know, especially for an online business. That's that O B M E role. Whatever you call 'em, director of ops, that, um, that oversees all the pieces and parts, so that's great. So yeah, so much good stuff. Okay, so you've had quite a winding road. I'll ask you one other question, right.

You've gone from a lawyer to C F P to life coach, to now running a life coaching business as a C E O. Right. So, and most of the women who listen are women. I just said that out loud. Most of the people who listen to this podcast are women. And so we're going into a new year. This is gonna come out the, I think the week of the 4th of January.

So what should we all be thinking about as women leading, making new choices, living our lives? What's your little bit of wisdom? The first thing that comes to my mind is, who do you wanna be and what do you wanna do? Mm-hmm. Because I think setting goals is really fun. We just gotta be careful not to set them and tie our.

Worth and being an experience to them. Mm-hmm. Especially when we just had a year like 2020. Right. Not Amen. Yeah. Right.
