Stories are a powerful way to connect with your audience. They help you build relationships, they make you more memorable, and when you’re really clear on YOUR story it’s easier to talk about your business and communicate how you serve others.
But what is the cost of using your own life as an idea bank for stories for your business? Is it possible to communicate effectively without giving up your privacy?
On this episode of the Build it Like a Business podcast I’m talking to Molly Hudson to answer this question and more to help you communicate more effectively and build lasting relationships with your audience without sacrificing your privacy or totally bearing your soul!

Sometimes running a business can feel a little bit like a guessing game. What’s working? What’s broken? What is most important to fix NOW? What can wait until later?
Most direct sellers and network marketers don’t have a formal degree in business… most likely you started your business for a love of people, not a passion for metrics. As a result, things like tracking metrics seem very overwhelming. It definitely did for me, especially when I first started Anchor Design Co.!
But the truth is, you can’t just rely on your gut when it comes to making business decisions. Sometimes you need the numbers to back it up or guide you when you have no idea where to start!
On today’s episode, I chat with Nicole Boucher, Operations and Business Manager as well as one half of Pixie Dust and Profits, a podcast that takes case studies from Disney and applies them to small business. Nicole is an expert at all things on the numbers side of business, and she joined me to talk more about where people can get started with tracking metrics.
At the end of this episode, you’ll walk away feeling more at peace with metrics. Once you see that numbers don’t have to be scary, you’ll be able to identify some of the metrics you can start tracking today so you have the data you need to make important decisions about the future of your business!

Work-life balance is like a unicorn to most people. It’s something we’ve heard stories about and would love to experience. But we all have a sneaking suspicion that it’s just not real.
...At least not in the way we currently think of it. But what if reaching your goals in business and at home was less about trying to sustain a delicate balance and more about finding a rhythm and flow that changes with the seasons of your life and biz?
On today’s episode, I chat with Alexis Greco, a business coach who supports women who are network marketing leaders in finding rhythm in their home and business. As an entrepreneur, mother to 4 little ones under 7, and an army wife who is very active at her church, it’s safe to say she knows a thing or two about the joys and challenges of finding rhythm in life and in business.
Alexis shares her wisdom with us in this interview, which is packed with little gems that you can begin to practice yourself. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a better understanding of what rhythms are, why they’re important, and how you can cultivate them in your business and home life to make both more enjoyable.
