“I’d rather have 100 engaged followers than 10,000 indifferent followers who I can't actually serve.”

In this week’s episode, I’m answering a question that a newbie entrepreneur emailed me -- one that I think many business owners wonder about.

You’ll hear how I break down the email line by line, and interject my answers to the question. Then I summarize the overall thoughts on how to move forward.

My goal is to “teach you to fish” so that as you tune into the podcast, you’re sharpening your ability to think about your business from a Bird’s eye view (heyyy!) and leave better equipped to answer these questions along your journey.

Once you listen, send me a DM on Instagram or an email to [email protected] and let me know what resonated with you most. I’d love to hear!

“If you say ‘yes’ to everybody, you're saying ‘no’ to your husband, your kids, your self care...”

As business owners we have a LOT to juggle. It’s kinda mind blowing at times when I look back at all we accomplish in a single week.

So how do we do it all? In short, my experience is that we can’t take all the credit, because we don’t do it alone. It really does take a village, intentionality and a whole lot more to not lose yourself in pursuit of growing your business.

I share 5 ways I (don’t) do it all, and it gets pretty real.

“Don't rely on your business partner (or anyone else) to be the source of your encouragement.”

Let’s just say what we all feel: entrepreneurship can be lonely. There are times when the people in your life just don’t get it or don’t know how to encourage you. This is why I'm giving you practical ways to encourage yourself.

In this week’s episode I share a statement I once read before each consultation call when I first launched my consulting business. Because sometimes you have to hype yourself up in even the smallest moments.

If you need a pep in your step, you’re gonna love this episode.
