Birth Boss Society

In this episode I sit down with with Anna Rodney, owner of Chicago Family Doulas, a thriving doula agency in Chicago, creator of Birth and Baby University and also a fellow member of the CAPPA faculty, to talk about how our doula agencies are the true back bone of our businesses.

Anna and I talk about the importance of using the time and financial freedom our agencies afford us to step back, plan growth and ultimately achieve any goals we set.  In this specific chat were focus on digital courses.

Digital courses have been a game changer for sure, not only to our business growth, but to our clients as well.  With these self paced courses we can educate a much broader audience, which is a dream come true.  Anna went one step further and took the course that she created and made it a template so other educators can easily use it for their own businesses.  So now educators can easily get out there and teach, creating increased revenue for themselves and also getting the important information to their perinatal community.  Win Win!

From Solo Doula Business to Agency:
Hip to Heart Agency Program

Transitioning from being a solo doula to owning your own agency isn't just a step up in your career, it's a complete transformation in how you think and operate.

In this episode I will talk about how the journey is about more than a change in your professional title , it's about evolving your mindset and strategy to reach new levels of success.

I've been where you are as an overly committed solo doula, giving my all to each client and constantly wondering how I could extend my impact even further. The answer became clear when I made the leap from a solo doula to an agency owner. 

For me, the change was about realizing the potential to serve more families, create a greater impact, and build something that lasts. It was about enabling other doulas to excel while you focus on steering the ship. It was about growing a business ambitiously, yet sustainably.

As we embrace the new year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how we can not only work harder but more importantly, work smarter. 

2024 is all about maximizing efficiency, leveraging opportunities, and making strategic decisions that propel our growth. 

In this episode, I'll be sharing how to make this year is your most productive yet by focusing on three key strategies:

Seek Additional Revenue, Not Just Savings: Instead of pinching pennies, let’s explore innovative ways to boost income. Diversify your revenue streams to complement your current business model. It’s about creating wealth, not just conserving it.

Choose Scalable Work: Be selective with the projects you take on. Aim for tasks that offer not just immediate returns but also the potential for growth. It’s about building a foundation that can expand and evolve with your business, ensuring longevity and sustainability.

Invest in Yourself and Find a Mentor: The path to success is often smoother with guidance. Seek out a mentor who has walked the path you’re on and reached the heights you aspire to. Their experience and insights can be invaluable, offering you shortcuts to success and helping you avoid common pitfalls.

Let’s make 2024 the year where we work smarter, grow our businesses strategically, and reach new heights of success!
