Together, we're redefining what it means, looks and feels like, to be doing "woman's work" in the world today. With confidence and the occasional rant. From boardrooms to studios, kitchens to coding dens, we explore the multifaceted experiences of today's woman, confirming that the new definition of "woman's work" is whatever feels authentic, true, and right for you. We're shedding expectations, setting aside the "shoulds", giving our finger to the "supposed tos". We're torching the old playbook and writing our own rules. Who runs the world? You decide.

The phrase is emblazoned at WeWorks across the globe: in large neon lights across lobby walls, bedecking laptops via swag stickers, and printed in playful cursive on the mugs that facilitate bottomless free coffee—with the addition of always in small print at the top.
But what becomes of the adage to do what you love when the company blasting it everywhere declares bankruptcy? What about the rest of us?
Today’s essay is a crossover from my paid Substack, Rolling in D🤦🏻♀️h. I encourage you to join us there if you haven’t already!
🧐 Do what you love and the money will follow . . . if you meet more than three of the following 20 criteria:
- The economy is booming. Actually booming, not “soft landing” or “immaculate disinflation” “booming.” 😉
- You are clear on what you love in the first place. You’re not still in the Tinker Dabble Doodle Try phase.
- You love teaching other people how to teach other people how to make money online.
- You have enough money in long-term investments—index funds and the like—to live off the interest alone, keeping the principal tucked safely aside for retirement.
- You are already independently wealthy. See #4, trustafarian, or #6.
- You have a spouse AND said spouse earns a robust living with solid health insurance and a thick paycheck every two weeks.
- You have abundant financial runway AND you don’t mind that runway crumbling beneath your wheels as you try to get the 747 of your passion off the ground.
📝 Permission
To pause doing what you love if the money isn’t following and you need to regroup.

「あとで再生する」 「あとで再生する」 リスト 気に入り 気に入った“How do you decide who has the power to judge you? Who are you seeking to please? Is that validation directly in alignment with how you are rewarded and how you're organized?” Seth Godin is back with a brand new book, This Is Strategy: Make Better Plans , and if you loved Free Time , I know you will love this one for geeking out on systems thinking! We discuss how his author strategy has shifted over time, why he’s piloting a new type of publishing contract with this book, how he felt when asked to leave a weekly poker game for not taking big enough risks, and how The Innovator’s Dilemma relates to companies like Google, NPR, and Netflix (he was in the room as NPR purposefully missed the boat on podcasting). More About Seth: Seth Godin is a renowned author, entrepreneur, and marketing expert who has profoundly influenced modern business thinking through his blog , with over 9,000 daily posts and counting. Known for his innovative ideas on marketing, leadership, and personal growth, Godin has authored 22 bestselling books in over 39 languages. He is also the coordinator of The Carbon Almanac , which he calls “the most important project of my career.” 🌟 5 Key Takeaways from This is Strategy Social media: Avoid projects where the system is organized to take all the value you create. Building community: Create a strategy where the scale is the magic. Start by serving a small group of people who would miss us if we didn't exist. Pricing: Price is a story, a signal, and a symptom of your strategy. “Low price is the last refuge of a marketer who has run out of useful ideas." Decision-making: It's impossible to consistently have perfect outcomes. It's easier to imagine that we're able to make good decisions on a regular basis. Ignoring sunk costs : All of your assets and experiences are a gift from your former self. You're welcome to leave them behind. 📝 Permission Stop seeking authority and start taking responsibility. Time is ours; sooner or later, the story we tell ourselves belongs to us. That doesn't mean it's easy. It just means that given the situation you're in, you could make something better and no one can stop you. ✅ Do (or Delegate) This Next If you feel creatively stagnant, try switching up your environment. For example, Seth took train rides with no destination in mind to get into a writing groove. Bonus: Try asking Claude.ai to expand on a list or framework you’ve created.

1 271: Specific Road-Tested Tips for Book Sales and Marketing with Todd Sattersten (Part Two) 53:40
53:40 「あとで再生する」 「あとで再生する」 リスト 気に入り 気に入った53:40
「あとで再生する」 「あとで再生する」 リスト 気に入り 気に入ったHi Friends! Although the podcast is still paused, I'm dropping into the feed this week and next with two very special conversations :) Today is a bonus episode from February for paid subscribers with Todd Sattersten , publisher and owner of Bard Press , and next week features Seth Godin and his new book, This Is Strategy . If you haven't already listened, check out part one here (episode 261) first. Todd is so committed to helping his authors succeed that he only publishes one book each year. Today he's sharing how to investigate and possibly reposition a book when a launch isn’t gaining traction, his three-sentence problem statement to attract ideal readers, and why the Table of Contents and first chapter are essential parts of the marketing process. 🌟 5 Key Takeaways Advance copies are a marketing event: Will they do something with the physical book? Two B’s for categories of people that can be most helpful: bulk and broadcasters. Most book launch activities don’t scale: You are the beacon for people to find the book. Title should always be a change function: show the change that they will experience reading the book with the title, subtitle, and book description. 1) State the truth. 2) What's the surprise? 3) Twist to drive the point home. The Table of Contents is marketing copy! It should read like sales copy to draw people in. Chapter one is also marketing copy, and be sure to include a quick win, because most people won’t finish (sadly). Write short chapters! Give the reader payoffs. 📝 Permission Drop the idea that your launch day is 24 hours. Taking a page from Tim Grahl’s Your First 1000 Copies , just do one thing a week. Use the HBO model of a little bit every week, not the Netflix binge release-watch. ✅ Do (or Delegate) This Next With the Free Time book approaching its three-year bookiversary on March 22, 2025, help 🎁 give the gift of free time :D Don’t miss the handy Chapter Summaries and Leader Kit (PDFs) Want to try before you buy?

1 270: 🌈 Taking a Quiet Sabbatical and Pausing the Podcasts — For Now . . . 21:03
21:03 「あとで再生する」 「あとで再生する」 リスト 気に入り 気に入った21:03
「あとで再生する」 「あとで再生する」 リスト 気に入り 気に入ったAs I round the corner into this ninth year of podcasting and after over 700 episodes, today I’m announcing a pause for both shows. Listen in to hear what factors helped me reach this decision across time, money, energy, depressing industry articles , the pace of both shows’ growth, and mix of additional business factors that make this an important moment to pause and regroup. You might also appreciate the even deeper dive with my longtime friend (and first coach) Adrian Klaphaak in Pivot episode 360: 📦 Unpacking a Big Business Decision and Dissolving Related Doubts . While I will be sad not to bring fresh episodes to your earbuds every week, I truly want to say thank you so much for being here. This only represents a small fraction of listeners, but I was genuinely touched receiving the Spotify Wrapped for Podcasters stats at the end of 2023 after I knew I would be pausing once all the episodes “in the can” went live. Among Pivot listeners: for 681 this show is in your top ten on Spotify, for 373 it’s in your top five, and for 65 of you, this is your number one show (again, at least in Spotify’s podcast player)! Among Free Time listeners: for 423 of you this show is in your top ten on Spotify, for 247 it’s in the top five, and for 57 it is your number one show in Spotify—the highest honor!! I was shocked to see even one, truly, with so much other incredible audio content out there. There’s one thing I know for sure: I will miss you during this break 🥹 🌟 ;TLDR/L (Too Long Didn’t Listen) Top Takeaways: In addition to pausing my private community , I am pausing both podcasts for a bit (duration TBD) so I can clear financial and energetic space to listen to what my broader business wants to become. 🎧 Stay subscribed to both shows: Pivot with Jenny Blake and Free Time with Jenny Blake so that you still get episodes when I release them, even if a bit more sporadically (for now); I may switch to seasons if/when I resume 📧 Subscribe to any/all of my three Substacks if you’re not already: I hope to experiment with live tapings with interesting friends and guests, ones that are for paying subscribers where we can go into even more nitty gritty detail behind-the-scenes. 📝 Permission Pause and regroup on any of your creative projects so you can create space to hear what’s next. 🔗 Resources Mentioned Rolling in D🤦🏻♀️h: 🏆 Time to Put the Trophies Away Do What You Love and the Money Will Follow . . .

1 269: 🏦 “I am not a bank” — Strategies for Getting Corporate Clients to Pay on Time with Joey Coleman 1:01:43
1:01:43 「あとで再生する」 「あとで再生する」 リスト 気に入り 気に入った1:01:43
「あとで再生する」 「あとで再生する」 リスト 気に入り 気に入った“I don’t get on the airplane—and definitely not the stage—unless all invoices are paid in full.” When my friend and fellow keynote speaker Joey Coleman said this to me over coffee, I started drilling him for details: Really?! How do you have the nerve to say that to a speaking client?! How do you avoid caving in to make sure their event doesn’t fall apart if they haven’t paid in time? What about clients who work for highly bureaucratic companies that insist on their “standard” net-120 terms? In this illuminating conversation, Joey shares his best practices for getting paid on time—every time by setting, stating, and upholding better boundaries (and contracts) with clients. More About Joey : As an award-winning speaker for over twenty years, Joey Coleman works with organizations around the world ranging from small startups to major brands such as Volkswagen Australia, Zappos, and Whirlpool. His First 100 Days® methodology fuels the remarkable experiences his clients deliver and dramatically improves their profits. 🌟 4 Key Takeaways “You should care a lot about what a few people think.” For Joey, it’s his wife, his children, his closest business advisors, longstanding clients. “I don’t want my creativity hampered by one person’s feedback.” “You need to know how to ask for the money.” Gem from Joey’s dad growing up on the most important thing to know when running your own business, about having confidence when you state the price and terms of your services without wavering. Don’t raise your prices just for the sake of raising them; however, as your expertise and capabilities and the cost of living and costs of running your business increase, there is a necessary understanding that prices will go up. Right before he hit send on a proposal, he would stop, go back to the original contract and raise the fee by ten percent. Price is something you pay at the grocery store; investment is something you are going to do to grow your operation and make it better. You will invest with me to grow your returns, and it will continue to pay dividends. As a speaker, you need to be clear on the return on investment that you’re promising. 📝 Permission It is unbelievably challenging to start and run your own business. Because you are so bold to do that, give yourself permission to courageously set your boundaries. The more clear and comfortable you are stating how to work with you and holding firm when pushed, the happier you will be as a business owner, and the longer you will be in business. ✅ Do (or Delegate) This Next Try Joey’s approach to sharing the investment for working together. List a range on your website, and the first time your desired client learns how much it costs to work with you should be hearing it from you, not reading a document. 🔗 Resources and Books Mentioned 📚 Joey on the web , X (Twitter) , LinkedIn Never Lose an Employee Again: The Simple Path to Remarkable Retention Never Lose a Customer Again: Turn Any Sale into Lifelong Loyalty in 100 Days Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One 🎧 Related Episodes Joey’s podcast: Experience This!

1 268: Strategies for Surpassing “The Magic Number” of Book Sales with Todd Sattersten 1:02:03
1:02:03 「あとで再生する」 「あとで再生する」 リスト 気に入り 気に入った1:02:03
「あとで再生する」 「あとで再生する」 リスト 気に入り 気に入ったWhat mysterious ingredients make a book launch successful? What number of first-week and first-year sales truly make a difference to a book’s longevity? What can you do to turn lagging numbers around? In a flagship illuminating post for the industry, Todd Sattersten , publisher and owner of Bard Press , shared his findings in The Magic Number . In this behind-the-business conversation from October 2023, you’ll hear him generously talk me through how I could help Free Time get there—with a much-needed morale boost at the end. More About Todd : Todd Sattersten is the publisher and owner of Bard Press , a book publisher that works with authors to create best-selling books in business, personal development and technology. Before Bard Press, Todd served as general manager of IT Revolution and president of business book retailer 800-CEO-READ. He is the author of Every Book Is a Startup and the co-author of The 100 Best Business Books of All Time (Portfolio, 2009). Todd lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife Amy and their three awesome kids. 🌟 3 Key Takeaways A book launch is a set of activities to engage people and create momentum, and there is no common blueprint for success. “Each book is different—in its approach to a problem and delivery of solution.

1 267: Insights from Google's Productivity Expert—On Saying No, Cozy Corners, The Laundry Method, and More with Laura Mae Martin 40:14

「あとで再生する」 「あとで再生する」 リスト 気に入り 気に入ったLaura Mae Martin has a fascinating role as the Executive Productivity Advisor at Google in the Office of the CEO —one that she helped create six years ago (with big thanks to Jenny Wood for introducing us!). ****She coaches Google’s top executives on the best ways to manage their time and energy and sends out a weekly productivity newsletter that reaches over fifty thousand employees. Today we’re talking about her forthcoming book, Uptime: A Practical Guide to Personal Productivity and Wellbeing. We discuss what the most senior-level executives do differently when it comes to time management (and what they still struggle with), five strategies for saying no, taming inbox stress with The Laundry Method, cozy corners, pairing activities with certain locations (hot spots and not spots), and what differentiates truly excellent executive assistants. More About Laura: During her nearly fourteen-year tenure at Google, Laura Mae Martin has worked in sales, product operations, event planning, and now executive coaching. She holds a bachelor of science in business administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her husband and three children under five. 🌟 3 Key Takeaways Laura’s 5 C’s of Productivity : Calm, Create, Capture, Consolidate, Close. Create a system that you truly trust: where new tasks get captured and where you know you will see them again. No matter when or where a loop comes from (i.e. on a walk), ensure you have systems in place for the entire loop lifecycle from capturing to closing. Five Ways to Say No to Incoming Requests: ask more questions to better understand the time commitment and see if it aligns with your top three priorities; say you’ll think about it or don’t respond right away to buy yourself time and prevent a knee-jerk response; imagine two scenarios playing out for yes and for no (to help you decide); say no, but _______ (send helpful resources); say no, because _______ (give a little context). The Laundry Method: Think about your inbox the way you think about your dryer. You would never process clothes one item at a time—whether drying, folding or putting away—and yet that’s how many people tackle email. Process in batches instead. Treat sorting, reading, and answering as separate activities. If you have only twenty minutes, pick one of those activities. 📝 Permission Give yourself plenty of down time in order to have highly productive uptime; drop the guilt! Rest leads to better overall productivity. ✅ Do (or Delegate) This Next Stop wasting energy points! Eliminate any emails from your inbox that you don’t need to see: the unread, notifications, newsletters (Jenny uses SaneBox for this), and make sure you help the things you need to see stick out. 🔗 Resources Mentioned Laura on the web , IG , LinkedIn Articles : Business Insider— 6 tips a productivity advisor gives Google executives to better manage their email, meetings, and workload Google Blog— 5 things I learned from Google’s productivity expert CNN— She helps Google workers be productive.

I’m sharing the first steps to how you can set up a framework to help bolster your IP and your business; either by scaling through programs like certification and licensing, and to make your material more memorable and accessible to the groups you care most about reaching.

「あとで再生する」 「あとで再生する」 リスト 気に入り 気に入ったWhat do you do when you lose your biggest client? That was my Spotify search query for podcast episodes on this topic in the summer of 2023. It came up empty—there was not a single podcast episode on this topic. Of course not. Who wants to admit out loud and in their archives that they've lost their biggest client? In the past, I probably wouldn't have fessed up to this either. Except for the fact that now it's what I wish I could see, read, and hear. Today’s compilation episode is here to fix that! If you've been reading Rolling in D🤦🏻♀️h , you know that the origin story for my new-ish paid Substack was losing my biggest, most beloved corporate client in the summer of 2023. Getting The News shook me up so much because not only was it one of my longest-running favorite licensing clients, but it also represented at least six figures of income for the next six months being instantly wiped off the table. Now, at least, we will all have something to turn to (and return to). My goal is not to provide advice but rather to offer some comfort through the voices of some of my dearest friends and favorite Heart-Based Business owners who are speaking from experience about how they've handled situations just like this. Maybe you don't need this episode right now, but if something does happen in the future (even if we hope not), you'll remember that you can come back and listen on a proverbial rainy day.

When you release that idea, then you can be more curious about how to step in and fix things that aren't working.” Charlie Gilkey , author of Team Habits : “Do not take the client loss personally.

Michelle Warner, we cover the three growth stages most relevant to tiny business owners, how to fix broken business models, validating product-market- founder fit, the difference between traffic-based versus relationship-based sales and marketing, borrowing aligned audiences, leading a free monthly Q&A to “catch” their interest afterward, imagining sales as a downhill snowball, and how to scale while still staying Delightfully Tiny. More About Michelle : Michelle Warner designs tiny companies that are built to last. With an MBA from one of the world’s top business schools and 15+ years experience growing small businesses, Michelle focuses on layering real world experience on top of classic business fundamentals to design businesses that are sustainable and scalable in the long term and resilient and adaptable in the short term. It’s the way she grew her first business to 7+ figures, and it’s what she’s used to help 300+ CEO's create businesses that work for the important stuff: profit, energy, passion + time. She’s also the creator of Networking That Pays , the introvert-friendly, always awkward-free connection system that brings in reliable leads, consistent referrals and meaningful connections for your business - in 5 minutes a day. 🌟 3 Key Takeaways Three small business stages most relevant to tiny business owners (adapted from HBR ): Validate—product-market-founder fit; Sell—repeatable and predictable marketing and sales; Foundation—process, team, culture) Relationship- versus traffic-based sales and metrics : Relationship-based business are going for smaller reach, with ideally at least a fifty-percent conversion rate on sales calls. Traffic-based marketing aims at bringing in much bigger audiences, with smaller conversion rates for things like selling digital products (pushing a boulder up hill). Three marketing stages: Awareness (imagine a snowball running downhill—people need to have a really big moment with you; you’ve made 80% of the sale by blowing their mind during the awareness stage) engagement, and sales. 📝 Permission Focus on sequence over strategy: you can execute strategies perfectly, but if you’re doing them in the wrong order, it’s not going to do a thing for you. ✅ Do (or Delegate) This Next Take five minutes a day to reach out to one person across any of these four themes: thank you’s (be specific!), connections, asks, and catch-ups. 🔗 Resources Mentioned Michelle on the web, IG , Twitter , LinkedIn Articles : HBR— The Five Stages of Small-Business Growth Rolling in D🤦🏻♀️h — Climbing Down the Entrepreneurial Ladder , An Honest Accounting (Part One) People : Margo Aaron , Pamela Slim , Jay Acunzo Tiny + Strong Table Talk: Michelle’s free monthly Q&A if you need a good idea, fresh perspective or to get inspired by what others are thinking and doing.

「あとで再生する」 「あとで再生する」 リスト 気に入り 気に入ったIf you’re anything like me, you may find conducting online launches for your programs or events exhausting and sometimes even cringe-inducing. Thankfully, today’s guest, Anne Samoilov , is here to help! Anne is a long-time expert in the space who has helmed product launches for Laura Roeder, Marie Forleo, and Jonathan Fields. Today, we’re talking about why some of us find big, splashy launches so draining; how to set up automated or evergreen launches (and her take on the pros and cons of these); how to find non-cringey launch strategies; be willing to take on clients or projects that have nothing to do with your business. More About Anne : Anne Samoilov is a launch strategist and VFX Producer. She started her work online as the creator of Fearless Launching, an online training program that teaches impact-driven entrepreneurs how to create simple, streamlined, and standout launches without relying on templates or cookie-cutter strategies. She has also led the VFX teams for TV shows on Paramount Plus and Starz. Check out Anne’s podcast, The Fearless Launching Show , where she shares insights and tips on how to have an amazing product or business launch—your way. 🌟 3 Key Takeaways Evergreen or Automated Launches: a person who is interested in what you do → signs up for a free interactive event (a webinar, challenge, email series, video series, etc.) → at some point, you make an offer by sending them to a sales page. They can do all this on their own schedule. Do people actually know what you offer? Three ways to make sure: communication (webinar, mini-course, offer in your thank you pages, newsletter P.S.), website updates (bio, announcement bar, pop-up, work with me page), other people (free workshop for their audience, podcast guesting) Get in front of other audiences by doing a workshop (webinar) tour: You can offer the host an affiliate commission for sales. Give both audiences a heads-up that you have a relationship. 📝 Permission To take on clients or projects that have nothing to do with your business; it can bring in revenue and reconnect you with latent skills. ✅ Do (or Delegate) This Next Spruce up your thank you pages! Put your bio, mention ways to work with you, offer a freebie.

1 260: How to Focus on Long-Term Thinking in a Short-Term World with Dorie Clark 37:29
37:29 「あとで再生する」 「あとで再生する」 リスト 気に入り 気に入った37:29
「あとで再生する」 「あとで再生する」 リスト 気に入り 気に入った“Whenever you have a choice of what to do, choose the more interesting path." In honor of our upcoming Free Time x Long Game IRL event in Miami on February 1 and 2 (it’s not too late to join !), today I’m bringing you a favorite episode from the earliest days of the Free Time pod. In this conversation with Dorie Clark—aka “DC”—one of my closest friendtors, we discuss how she "optimizes for interesting," says no to good opportunities, builds relationships by following her "no asks for a year" rule, and when to call on trusted advisors to ensure you don't quit something too soon. We're discussing her bestselling fourth book, The Long Game: How to Be a Long-Term Thinker in a Short-Term World —be sure to grab your copy for even more insights on how to apply strategic thinking to your biggest vision. This episode originally aired on September 28, 2021. More About Dorie: Dorie Clark helps individuals and companies get their best ideas heard in a crowded, noisy world. She has been named one of the Top 50 business thinkers in the world by Thinkers50, and was honored as the #1 Communication Coach in the world by the Marshall Goldsmith Leading Global Coaches Awards. She is a keynote speaker and teaches executive education for Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and Columbia Business School. Dorie is the author of The Long Game: How to Be a Long-Term Thinker in a Short-Term World , Reinventing You , Stand Out , Entrepreneurial You . 🌟 3 Key Takeaways Building and Maintaining Relationships: Dorie doesn’t make any significant asks from new connections for at least a year. This strategy is aimed at building genuine, agenda-free relationships, nurturing them over time, rather than using them for immediate benefits. Optimizing for Interesting Opportunities: Pursue what genuinely interests you rather than feeling pressured to follow a predetermined passion or path. Balancing Opportunities and Saying: It’s a skill to decline opportunities, especially alluring seemingly “free” ones. Evaluate opportunities based on alignment with your long-term goals and the true cost of saying yes, including opportunity cost, time, and energy. 📝 Permission “You don’t have to do this,” for types of events that you hate attending!

「あとで再生する」 「あとで再生する」 リスト 気に入り 気に入ったBefore you post anything, ask : Why am I posting this? Is this within my brand guardrails? Even still, you may find yourself in hot water someday, and it’s important to think through how you will respond (and the pop-up team you will assemble to help) in advance. Today, we’re breaking down the tricky art of crisis communications and apologies with Aliza Licht, author of On Brand , who brings two decades of PR experience to the conversation. More About Aliza : Aliza Licht is an award-winning marketer, bestselling author, podcaster, personal branding expert, and the founder of LEAVE YOUR MARK, a multimedia brand and consultancy. She advises businesses and mentors individuals on brand building and career development. Licht leverages over two decades of expertise in marketing, communications, and digital strategy in the fashion industry. She was named one of "America's Next Top Mentors" by The New York Times. Her new book, On Brand: Shape Your Narrative. Share Your Vision. Shift Their Perception is a comprehensive roadmap to building your personal brand. As a social media pioneer and one of the first fashion influencers, Licht created and was the voice of the anonymous social media phenomenon DKNY PR GIRL. 🌟 3 Key Takeaways Brand Guardrails: What kind of point of view do you have? What will and won’t you stand behind? What is central to who you are? Plan for Crisis Communications before you have a crisis: What team will be involved? An attorney, an HR person (if a bigger business), certain savvy friends. Put that “bat team” together, almost like your to-go bag in an emergency. You won’t be thinking clearly in the middle of a crisis when your brand is everywhere, and not in a good way. Social media is very siloed: If a fire starts on one platform, don’t spread your own wildfire by responding to it across every channel. Contain a fire where it started first. ✅ Do (or Delegate) This Next If you are faced with a crisis, first understand where you messed up. What did you do that pissed off your community? Second, how quickly can you respond to that? Finally, are there actions you need to take in addition to your words? 📚 Books Mentioned On Brand: Shape Your Narrative. Share Your Vision.

This is another crossover from Rolling in D🤦🏻♀️h , a recent essay that was an unexpected runaway hit—the most popular to date in the six months since I started on Substack. I had no idea (as usual) whether it would resonate or not when I hit “publish,” until my friend Adam texted to say how much he could relate. “Your comments are blowing up!” he said, sending a screenshot of other people letting me know that I wasn’t alone in my itemized anxiety.
