Crown Yourself

Trademarks, Copyright, Legal Protection, LLC's, INC's Taxes, privacy policies, contracts, oh my! Owning a business as a creative entrepreneur can seem overwhelming if you don't have someone like attorney Andrea Sager to break it down for you like she does on this podcast.

In this episode you’ll learn why it’s best to create your own path as an entrepreneur (3:30), how long the trademark process is for your business (9:00), why you must get on your trademarks now (12:00), which Instagram captions are copyrightable and which ones are not (13:30), who really owns your photos on Instagram (16:00), why you MUST get a trademark for your brand name (20:00), how what you don’t know actually CAN hurt you (23:00), when it’s the cheapest to bring on an attorney (24:00), how Andrea eviscerates the belief that you “can’t afford an attorney” (28:00), how you can use the drive to be the BEST as a woman (33:00), and so much more. 

A personal message from Kimberly…

I don’t know about you, but every time I speak with a lawyer it always makes me want to triple check that I’ve dotted all my T’s and crossed my I’s...or is it the other way around? I get real weird around, lawyers usually. Ever since I was bought out from my first e-commerce company, going through three months of negotiations and legal jargon with a fine tooth comb, I wish legal trouble on no man or woman.

That’s why it was imperative that I bring attorney Andrea Sager on The Princess and the B. Because, so often as creative entrepreneurs, as artists in the world of business, we forget to cross the T’s and dot the I’s of trademarks, content protection, and the legalities of running a business. 

While, yes, it pays to be in your genius zone, working on your art, making your connections, and signing those clients, having your contracts be in order, and your business be rockin’ you’ve got to at least be fluent in the art of business and not just the art of your art and your gifts.

A personal note from Kimberly…

I will let you know, this episode will not make everyone happy. There may be some pushback from your ego (check it before she wrecks it). And that is good. For one, it’s my enneagram 8, the loving challenger come out, and for two, this is meant to grow you and stretch you. If you are a coach and you CAN’T answer these questions, please invest in yourself, get a coach, so you can live in alignment with who you desire to be in the world so you can serve more people. And, if you’re looking to get a coach, be bold and ASK these questions, any good coach should be able to answer these happily and with ease. 

This episode was inspired by several calls I had with clients who had invested in coaches with little to no payoff or transformation. After hearing from these clients, and observing a common trend in the industry, I felt compelled to address it. While, this was recorded nearly a year ago, those investments I made in myself and my business in early 2019 in coaching paid of...like 389%!

Yes, last year Crown Yourself Enterprises LLC grew in gross profits 389% in ONE YEAR.

And it’s only getting better from there.

That is what I attribute to the power of coaching. 

Yes, coaching is an investment, and it can have MASSIVE PAYOFF, when you’re working with the RIGHT person for you, who is aligned with your values and leads with consciousness. 

And, it’s also for any person who’s thinking of becoming a coach. I hope this episode serves to guide you with a few questions you can ask yourself when you’re questioning how much you should charge, what your value is, and how to keep improving and up-leveling your value (like the badass you are).

In this episode, you’ll learn why as a client you must do your due diligence before you work with a coach (3:30), what the stats are on private coaching and why it’s so valuable (5:00), how much book-knowledge you actually retain or put into practice from the self-improvement and business books you read (6:30), why your desire to level up your self-worth must be an energetic match for where your coach is (7:30), why you want a coach who has made the same investment in themselves as they are asking you to make (8:30), what’s the difference between a coach, a guru, and an expert (11:30), how coaches can be hypocrites and can self-sabotage by not having a coach themselves (13:00), and much more.

Here are the questions for you to ask any coach before you work with them:

And if you’re a coach, or getting into creating a coaching business, here are the 4 questions you should ask yourself before you structure your pricing and packages:

Kimberly interviews former director turned “accidental entrepreneur,” Tirzah Shirai, who created what she calls the "Starbucks of the lash industry,” by setting the standard for natural beauty while practicing conscious leadership as CEO of Blinkbar and scaling to over $30 million, in less than five years, with a plan to expand globally in the next five.

Originally from what she calls the “Texas of Canada.” Tirzah is the CEO and founder of Blinkbar, a lash studio that specializes in masterfully-crafted lash extensions with customized application techniques, quality products, and best-in class customer service. Her clients include the Kardshians, as well as nearly every instagram influencer in Los Angeles.

Tirzah Started out as a film director who wanted eyelashes for her actresses on camera that would accentuate their eyes and look natural even in their close-ups. She calls herself an “accidental entrepreneur,” having tested the Blinkbar concept back in 2012 after seeing a need to be met in the lash industry and founding the company only a couple years later. In just a few short years, Tirzah and her team (whom she highly praises) have grown Blinkbar to 5 locations in California in  Calabasas, hermosa Beach, Sherman Oaks, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and are expanding globally in the next five years.

Tirzah set the standard for lashes by becoming “the Starbucks of Eyelash extensions” and has successfully scaled and positioned BlinkBar as a leader in the lash industry due to their consistency, excellent branding, and smart business strategy.

A personal note from Kimberly….

While I have had many a glorious guest on The Princess and the B in our 30-episodes thus far, Tirzah wowed me beyond words. Having known her in a past life, in both of our Hollywood careers, I have had the pleasure of watching her transform from film director into the leader of what I know will be a billion dollar brand.  Which left me, in my ever-increasing quest to learn - how the heck does she do it?

In NLP, there is a concept called modeling. Meaning, when you see someone getting astounding results you “model” or “try on” how they organize their perceptions of the world. So you “try on” the beliefs, habits, qualities, thoughts, and all the things of the person so as to create a simplified model of their experience that we can then teach to ourselves and others.

This episode did just that for me. Not only does Tirzah deliver a masterclass on how to hire, grow, and consciously lead a team, but she shows how to do it while maintaining that glorious feminine-flow of ease.

Since this episode, I’ve…

My biggest learning from Tirzah was something her coach taught her, that the CEO is really the Chief ENERGY Officer, and that the energy of the leader ripples into all areas of the business...And, that I need to get more 2-hour massages. Ummm, can someone call, Heather Harris please?

In this episode, you’ll learn how directing a movie and directing a team are very similar (5:00), why jeans are like eyelashes (7:00), what being happy has to do with following your gifts (10:00), how traditional education can hurt the entrepreneurial spirit, the two school systems that could foster entrepreneurism (12:00), why you should stop apologizing for owning your power and your gifts (14:30), how Tirzah traded the word “failure” for “learning opportunity,” (16:00), why you must always hire people with high self-worth (17:30), what’s the difference between your “zone of genius” and your “zone of competence” (18:30), how you can spend 90% of your time in your zone of genius (20:30), why you must spend your time in your genius zone (23:00), the activity that you should do RIGHT NOW for the next week that will 10X your success (24:00), why it’s an amazing time right now to be a female leader (26:00), how men could learn from female CEOs’(29:0, why DOING LESS makes you a more effective leader (32:00), how to avoid burnout and honor the bad days when growing your business, what your number #1 priority needs to be as a leader (38:30),why you need to put rocks in before the sand (40:00) and so much more.
