  • Different Strategies For Investing In Your Business

    There are so many different ways to invest in your business, which in essence, is investing in yourself.

    You can invest small amounts, which give you a return on investment in terms of more time. That extra time can be spent working on other things in your business or spending it doing something you live that has nothing to do with business.

    A slightly larger monetary (and time!) investment might be an additional course or training that will either add another service to your business or enhance something that you’re currently doing. The return on that investment can be pretty quick but you also have to think about what does the time commitment look like and if it’s an in person hands on commitment, how will that fit into your current schedule.

    When you’re looking forward to the future of your business, ways to invest, would be programs that help you build a solid foundation and get systems in place, so you can easily grow and scale in the future. The return on those investments might take a little bit longer, but are absolutely worth it because you’re thinking long term.

    The investments you make should be a mix of short and long term return.

    If you’re looking to make a total transformation in your business, then most likely, you will be investing a much larger amount of both money and time. The return on those investments tend to be quicker because you’re making a total shift in your business and building upon systems that you already have in place. The larger investments for growth are perfect for the business owner that is fairly established and at capacity with what you’re currently doing.

  • The #1 Thing You Need To Have A Successful Doula Agency

    When I started my doula agency, I didn't know what I was doing. I made a lot of mistakes, and those mistakes cost me time and money.

    I needed this to work for me because I didn't want to go back to my corporate job, and I wanted to have control of my time so I could not only help postpartum families, which is something I am passionate about, but so I could be home for my family.

    But, all the mistakes, struggles, frustration, and even tears got me to a place where I now have a business that is on track to hit 7 figures in 2023, and most importantly, I have a balance between life and work.

    I want this for you!

    We need more doulas. We need more doula agencies. It's the only way that we are truly going to make a difference for birth and postpartum parents.

    That's why I'm here helping people set up, grow, and scale their doula businesses. That way we can have more doulas that are getting the correct support, guidance, and mentorship they need to succeed.

    I want you to be one of those doulas.  So check out this episode to find out what you need to make it all happen.

  • Abundance Mindset Can Change Everything

    As a birth or postpartum doula, you have an infinite amount of clients. People are always having babies!

    So it truly saddens me when I see doulas who have the mindset that they can't get clients, they have to take more courses in order to get clients, or you have to offer a million different services.

    The truth is, you can get clients without having to take more courses or offer a ton of services. All it takes is just being consistent, confident, creative, and authentic.

    You need to focus on your strengths instead of feeling like you have to be a jack of all trades in order to get clients. What are your strengths? Think about what makes you unique and why clients should choose you as their doula.

    Once you identify your strengths, use them to market yourself in a creative way. There are so many different ways to market yourself and your services, you just need to find the ones that work for YOU. This could be through word-of-mouth referrals, networking events, online advertising, etc.

    The final step is to be confident in your services and don’t be afraid to ask for what you are worth. When you have confidence in yourself, your clients will too and they’ll be sure to come to you over any other doula.

    So don’t be discouraged, if you want to be a successful doula, a simple mindset shift can make a huge difference.

    The secret sauce is doing all of this and adding in an abundance mindset.
