Episode 11 - Building Business One "Next Best Step" At A Time W/Julia Woods

My guest on today’s podcast is Julia Woods. Julia is the owner and founder of Beautiful Outcome, a transformational coaching business that specializes in helping couples communicate in a way that allows them to know and be known by one another so they can partner to build the life they ultimately desire. What’s unique about Julia is the story of how she came to building this business. In this episode Julia speaks to how she herself went through a season of realizing she was not happy with where her life was and where it was going. How she had everything she thought she wanted but wasn’t happy. And how in that season she began to learn the lessons and tools that allowed her to experience a major transformation inside herself and her family. She speaks to how the transformation she experienced and continues to experience birthed a passion for her to share this with the world. Julia explains how building Beautiful Outcome was a one step at a time process. How she and her husband would take the next right step and how that would lead to the next step and so on. These steps might I add were big “sell our business and move across the country” type steps. We talk a lot about growth and how we never outgrow growth. It is a daily choice and decision. And be sure to listen to the end when Julia describes how she defines success as who she is becoming, more than what she wants to achieve. This episode is jam packed with passion and nuggets of wisdom that anybody can apply to their life, relationships, and business. So with that introduction, I hope you enjoy this episode of the Self-Employment Success Podcast with Julia Woods.

Julia Woods (00:06.651) Thank you so much for having me. Leland Gross (00:09.258) Yeah, so I'm really excited to have Julia on the podcast for lots of reasons. Specifically, my wife and I have benefited from our relationship with Julia in multiple ways. And the fact that Lindy for a season actually got to work directly with and for Julia and her business. And then because of that, we got to be benefactors of it. And what she does, I'll let her kind of explain it, but it is a really powerful business. I feel like it's changed lots of lives. for so many, I mean, not just the lives of people who interact with this business, but the people even who interact with those people. So, Julia, yeah, why don't you introduce yourself, tell us a little bit about who you are and what you do and kind of what your business is and does and where it stands today. Julia Woods (00:56.183) Yeah, so I'm a transformational coach and I specialize in helping couples communicate in a way that really allows them to know and be known by one another so they can partner in building the marriage they long for. And I do that through online courses and marriage retreats and one-on-one coaching calls and My long-term desire is to own a marriage retreat center. Right now, a client has a beautiful property that we do the retreats on right now. The long-term goal is to have a retreat center where I can do the retreats year-round because that is my absolute most favorite thing to do. And so right now, I do three retreats a year and work with... lots of clients on one-on-one coaching calls and many clients are going through my online course which is the three-part communication renovation system. Leland Gross (02:02.094) I love it. Okay, so you have your hand in a couple fires. You've got your online course, which anybody could go today and sign up and start going through. And then you have one-on-one coaching. If people want, hey, we are doing the coach, but we also want Julia to speak straight to our marriage and kind of help coach us through our transformation. And then we have the retreats year round, which are, my understanding is, you know. a weekend long intensive, you're with other couples, but it's kind of a three day intensive transformation training communication weekend. Is that correct? Julia Woods (02:47.147) Yeah, it's, I don't know if intensive fits it. I think most people would say it's actually very relaxing and transformative. But it's, it's really each couple comes into the retreat with a specific conversation that they want to break through. So most couples have three to five areas of tension in their relationship, three to five topics that tend to, where they tend to get stuck and can't seem to break through to really understand or Leland Gross (02:51.308) Okay. Julia Woods (03:14.887) produce new results or come up with what they want together. And so they pick one and throughout the weekend, they keep coming in, gaining a new tool. Then they go out to their couple's connection where they work together to use that tool and break through to new levels in this conversation. So it's pretty powerful. Couples come
