Friends, I am so excited about today's podcast episode. It is with a client and good, good friend of mine, Kaitlin Kirk. You may remember her from an early podcast episode but I thought it was about time to bring her back on and share more of her story of how she's really grown and scaled her business in the last two years in a really beautiful and inspiring way. Kaitlin regularly hits $25K+ months, but she’s really done so much of the mindset work and harder backend things in her business to help get her there. She’s sharing the top things that have brought her the most success, what her happy, boring life looks like, and the impact that she hopes her business will provide long after she’s gone. This whole conversation is just so beautiful and I know it’s going to leave you feeling fully inspired.
Topics Discussed:
How hiring a team was the number one thing that supported Kaitlin in growing her business and how she overcame the fear that came with growing her team
Some of the freedoms and results that Kaitlin is seeing now and on the horizon after working through some really hard mindset work and decision making
The (happy, boring) dream life that Kailtin is giving herself permission to have and how this has helped grow her business
The advice that Kaitlin would give to someone who is scaling their business but feeling stuck
Why Kaitlin 100% believes that you should hire your first or next team member first, then figure out sales second
The impact that coaching and your community can have on the success of your business and choosing to work with the same coach long term
The legacy that Kailtin is creating while believing that her business will outlive her

I’m so excited for this week's episode because it is my first guest episode. Kaitlin Kirk is joining us and you're going to love what she has to say. Kaitlin is a CPA, brilliant business owner and after joining Sell with Heart Kaitlin raised her prices and signed 10 new clients, which fully booked her business and brought in her highest cash month ever in less than two months.
I love Kaitlin’s story because it shows that when you take the time to create a simple sales system and do a LOT of mindset work around sales and money, it is possible to expand your client base and cashflow quickly. Kaitlin has incredible work ethic, brilliant strategic mind, strong dedication to her clients (and team now that she hired two new team members, yay!) and one of the most honest and open hearts I have ever seen.
If you’re ready to start thinking differently about money and sales-- so that the time you spend in your business is brining you cash and more clients to serve listen to this episode.

It's not everyday you meet someone who was born to be an accountant — but today is that day. Kaitlin is so much a rebel that when she discovered she wasn't allowed to help businesses the way she wanted, she picked up and moved across the country.
There's not many accountants who've created a YouTube Channel to help us navigate the murky waters of business tax – but then there's Kaitlin. Not only that, she built courseware and a program called Captain's Corner to help really navigate business finances.
