šThe 4 mindset shifts I wish I made sooner
Stop letting your thoughts trip up your strategy.

Hey, itās Kat here!
When it comes to scaling, strategy definitely matters.
But mindset plays a bigger role than most of us think.
This week, Iām talking about the mindset shifts that help you navigate growth without burning yourself out.
Because how you think shapes how you build, how you lead, and how far you go.
This week weāre covering:
š§ 4 mindset shifts you need to scale without losing your sanity
šļø Social media tactics that are working in 2025
š 2 things I do to celebrate small wins
š How to use mindset to improve your sales pages
I want to jump into a little side tangent before we dive into this weekās mindset shifts (Iām pretty sure 1/3 of my Voxer messages start withā¦āso this is a side tangent but itās important to knowā¦āš)
If youāre like me, youāre a little nosey and also love seeing some behind the scenes data.
HubSpot has created a free guide that digs into the data from thousands of marketers to see what is working in the social media space.
But here is your important KM reminderā¦
Just because someone else is using a platform (or there is some cool data about it) it doesnāt mean you need to run and join that platform.
The key to scaling is leaning into what is working and simplifying where you can.
So grab this guide from HubSpot and focus on the info that relates to the platforms youāre using (that you already get results from). You may find an interesting strategy you havenāt tried yet that is working on that platform. š

š Strategy of the Week:
The mindset shifts you need to scale (without losing your sanity)ā¦
When you think of growing your business, you probably immediately go to: I need to work on my marketingā¦I should post more on social media. Maybe my offers arenāt right?
But scaling is about more than just your offers, funnels, and marketing.
Itās also about growing personally as your business grows.
That shift usually comes with yucky growing pains.
ā Letting go of control.
ā Doing things in a new way.
ā Seeing yourself not just as the service provider, but as the leader of something bigger (even if you just want a lifestyle business).
Itās easy to get stuck doing things the way youāve always done them, even when the next version of your business is calling you forward.
Thatās where mindset work comes in.
I know Iām reaching a new level of growth when I lay in bed at night and I want to get under the bed and merge with the floor in hiding.
I know thatās kind of odd, but thatās the best way I can describe what I feel. Itās like a full body feeling of wanting to be invisible.

š§ No hiding⦠Letās step into the next stage mindset.
Here are four mindset shifts to help you scale with more ease and intention.
1. Let go of the āDo-It-Allā mentality (itās hurting your business and you)
Two ādo-it-allā areas that are keeping you stuck:
> Thinking you have to wear every hat in your business forever
> You need to be on all the social channels, creating all the funnels, try all the digital product types, and offer the same services as your competitors.
Delegation and automation are powerful growth strategies.
The belief that you need to do it all manually (so that it feels authentic), or youāre the only one that can do it well, keeps you stuck.
Cutting things that are spreading you too thin, diluting your efforts, or arenāt producing results, must be cut.
Your next step: Pick one task you can outsource, automate, or cut this week. Free up space to focus on what only you can do.
Focus on the work that leads to revenue and growth instead of keeping busy with things that could be outsourced, automated, or ideally cut.
I repeat: You donāt need to do it all.
2. Start focusing on progress not perfection (your new mantra)
Waiting until itās āreadyā often means it never becomes reality.
Momentum comes from doing, testing, and improving.
Your to-do list looks amazing.
I love that youāve got all of these ideas and projects you want to complete.
But in 3 months you may still be saying: āI need to get those pins designed and up on Pinterest so I can build traffic to my new freebieā.
Instead of trying to design the perfect pins, or have it all ready so you can schedule it at once. Just publish it. Pin it. Put 1 pin up. Then another. Stop waiting for the perfect strategy or moment.
Action: Choose one thing youāve been overthinking and launch it. Publish the page. Send the email. Test the offer. Done is powerful.
Shift your mindset away from always having to be perfect.
3. Shift from a doer mindset to a leader mindset:
Instead of seeing yourself as the ādoerā of every task, start thinking like the leader of your business.
If you're always in the weeds, it's hard to see the bigger picture.
Leading means making space for strategy, vision, and long-term thinking.
You need days to do client work, and marketing, and admin tasks.
But you also need to time for big picture thinking, longer term planning, reviewing your data, and making the bigger business decisions.
You need to lead the growth of your business, no one else is going to do it.
Action: Block off at least 30 minutes this week for leadership time. Use it to review your metrics, refine your goals, or map out your next big move.
4. Adopt a Growth-Oriented Mindset
Work on reframing your failures as feedback and opportunities to learn. Itās the data you can use to improve on.
Growth isnāt linear. And setbacks donāt mean youāre off track. They mean youāre learning.
This one is hard but worth working on.
Action: Write down one recent setback and list three lessons youāve learned from it.
š¦ In Your Corner:
Celebrate your small wins.
Big success is made up of small, consistent wins.
Take a moment to reflect on how far youāve already come.
I love to do 2 simple things to celebrate:
ā A happy dance: this is just a fun little dance on the spot when I have any kind of small win. Itās fun and it helps me be present in the moment.
ā A money dance: yesā¦I love doing little dances at my desk. This one is when I make a sale or book a client. Itās a way for me to appreciate and be grateful for each person that said yes to coming into my business life. I get a moment to celebrate.
Sometimes for big wins, I will go out to eat somewhere fun as a celebration with my family.
What do you do to celebrate big and small wins?
š«” KM Tip of the Week:
Use mindset to improve your sales pages
Mindset work doesnāt stop with you.
Your audience is bringing their own mindset to the page too and it shows up in what they believe about the topic youāre teaching.
Letās say your product is about money.
Youāre not just selling a budgeting tool or course.
Youāre selling to someone who might be thinking:
ā āIāve never been good with money.ā
ā āIām bad at math, so this probably wonāt work for me.ā
ā āThis sounds complicated.ā
ā āWealth is for other people, not people like me.ā
Thatās what theyāre bringing to your sales page before they even read a single bullet point.
Your job is to write with that in mind.
Meet those thoughts with clarity, empathy, and reassurance.
š Show them that your product is simple and built for real life
š Share proof from people like them
š Focus on the transformation they can achieve
š Use language that feels safe, empowering, and doable
The more your sales page reflects where they are (and what theyāre afraid of) the more theyāll trust that your offer can actually help them move forward.
Donāt just highlight whatās inside the product.
Speak to the belief thatās keeping them from believing itās possible in the first place.
