Cleveland Mompreneur Guide Podcast

I am excited to come in with a solo episode today sharing a question that came up in a recent mom podcasting group I was in. One woman asked

“How do you stay in a relationship with people (i.e. your podcast guests and collaborators) and how do you build it?”

I was so excited about this question because relationship building and connecting is my favorite part of this business!

So in this episode I share:

• How I met people that are strong connections/relationship


• Why I think the relationships have lasted so long


• And why some have faded away or never started

Hint hint the answer is in the question!

Podcasting has transformed my life... it's not only given me a place to pursue my passion while opening up a world of possibilities but it's also given me credibility, clarity, collabs, connections, my own platform and ultimately a business that's allowed me to grow. (Not to mention an amazing time capsule of myself and life!)

So in today's episode we did a little comparing and contrasting talking through:

• The differences between episode 1 vs. 100


• What changes + growth I've made and what I'm reinstating from my episode 1 workflow


• PLUS the new business these last 100 episodes has created for us: The Studio

... I even gave a little behind the scenes on starting the studio and what we're offering there! You don't want to miss it!

As a business owner it's important we're seen and known for what we do... that's how we can support those amazing clients we love. But visibility can feel like a daunting challenge some times- I know- I've been teaching women all about this topic from IG Lives to Podcast. And Kylie Kelly knows too!

That's why she joined us in today's podcast episode to chat through ways to collaboratively lead gen without pushing that same freebie over again.

From summits to private podcast to bundles, Kylie has grown her email list from 0 to 1000 in just 6 shorts months and now she wants to help you find your aligned visibility strategy too!

So in this episode we talked through:

• Why Kylie's pivoted a few times in business and how it's brought her to her latest success


• Kylie's journey to learning to trust herself despite perfectionism


• And the key to finding more leads and growing your community

My favorite takeaway:

• IT ALL COMES BACK TO GIVING YOURSELF PERMISSION TO HAVE FUN AND KEEP TRYING NEW THINGS

Hello, my amazing mompreneurs! Welcome back to the Mompreneur Guide podcast.

It has been a minute. We took a little bit of a break because we have been doing some exciting behind the scenes projects here including:

• Our Upcoming Book on Mompreneurship


• And building a Podcast Studio for Mompreneurs here in our hometown of Chagrin Falls

Which both support the business trends I feel and see for 2023:

1. Slow Living Movement


2. Less Social Media. More Intimacy.


3. A Desire to Batch Your Work... so you can be more present in work life and mom life

Tune in to hear how not only I'm applying these 3 trends in my life but your fellow community members are too!
