Events for Entrepreneurs

Value. A word that tends to be more about quantity than quality. The more sections to an online course or the bigger the program - the more we can charge for it. Because we're offering more value, right? ... But are we? Really?

Let's have an honest (and safe) discussion about value. Are we TRULY providing the best value for our clients - whom we care about so deeply? What can we do to ensure that we're not just including "stuff" or launching a group program because that's the trend. Let's dissect value at its core so we can ensure we're impacting our clients, and the world, to the best of our ability while also building a profitable business.

Building one's community is an essential part of being an online entrepreneur. But thinking about how to intentionally define, create, and cultivate that community ... not so much, right? We tend to view it as something that just happens - or we zero in on the platforms, numbers, and churning out of content. But if you're a Relate Escape business, you're aching for a different type of community. One where there is a ton of relational fruit - not just sales. Which requires a different approach. 

So join me as I dive into a new way of looking at our communities as entrepreneurs. I also turn two major myths on their heads, transforming them into radical ideas, so we can create the kind of community we truly desire!

Themes for a virtual or live business event, you ask? Really??? Yes, entrepreneurial friend! Just because we run polished and professional businesses doesn't mean we can't be creative and fun too. Plus, themes provide legit business advantages - especially in this current time when it's all about virtual experiences. If we can liven things up; draw in attendees more easily; bring some dimension to our brand; and make our planning easier as the host (while having more fun) ... why the heck wouldn't we?

Let's dive into this bonus episode and get clear on five magical effects a theme can have on your event!

As Relate Escape businesses, we live to empower our clients and tribe. But in order to be effective, we need to consistently protect our own empowerment - and that requires vigilance. There are numerous, seemingly benign ways, we can be giving away our boss power without even realizing it. Which results in derailment from our mission. 

In today's episode, I zero in on two very common (almost undetectable!) trip-ups that cause us to give away our boss power - and how to meet them head-on. Because when we have things aligned correctly internally - we're in a much more powerful place to empower others externally.

Social distancing is the new norm and who knows when it will end. But just because we're limited to connecting behind our phones or laptops doesn't mean we can't cultivate deeper connections.

In today's episode, I hit on several out-of-the-box ideas for taking connection beyond the typical Zoom call or Marco Polo. 

Plus, I also speak to the wisdom of using this time to do a relational audit. In other words, taking a closer look at the friendships and other relationships - including clients! - in our lives that may be holding us back, no longer serving us, and/or taking up space where fruitful relationships could exist.

Grab your favorite coffee or hot chocolate, lady friend, as we zero in on connection in this challenging time of distancing!

Let's delve into the cold, hard reality of creating a business that actually aligns with YOURSELF. 

I spent several years buying programs and hiring coaches. (Sound familiar?) But do you know what FINALLY allowed me to create a business model that lights me up, aligns with how I'm wired, and thus better serves my clients too?

Um, listening to MYSELF.

Easy...yet hard. Which is why on today's episode I'm sharing exactly what I did to make that happen - and what you can do, too! 

This is an empowering episode, ladies! Full of specific, practical ways that you can find more confidence and trust in yourself.

Warning: I'm about to get seriously controversial. Or maybe not! Because I have a feeling, from certain things I've seen and heard, that I am not alone in what I'm about to unapologetically share on today's episode. 

The online entrepreneurial world - like any space - has its own culture of beliefs, norms, and practices. But some of these just aren't healthy or wise. They're just not. And if the pandemic has done anything, it's revealed some life-altering truth among the lies.

So brace yourself, ladies. Because today I am strapping on my rebel boots and bringing us into a bold new territory. 

Let's get real - so we can really live!

"I'm Facebooked Out." This is a phrase I've heard numerous times in the past several months - from myself and others.

A lot of us are feeling the burn, right? Tired of the overwhelm. Constantly fighting the algorithms. A Facebook Group for everything! Getting sucked into ours feed only to emerge hours later feeling inadequate, jealous, and frustrated. Not to mention downright lonely, unconnected, and unsatisfied.

So in today's episode, I put a massive spotlight on this big old elephant in the room! I share how I walked away from social media in late April and, five months later, have absolutely no desire to return.

What I've gained in my life because of that bold decision has been, well, my life! 

Let's have an honest conversation about social media and what it's *really* doing for our lives and businesses.

P.S. I also highly recommend watching "The Social Dilemma" on Netflix.

It's been 6 months since my last podcast episode - and a LOT has changed in my life since then! I moved during the start of the pandemic - just me, the movers, and my Greyhound. (Fun times!) But more importantly, after relocating to my new state, I made some purposeful decisions that have led to amazing, positive changes in my life and business.

Before making those bold choices, I had been struggling with some things for quite a while. Things I've heard other entrepreneurs, just like yourself, mention or discuss with me outright. 

So in today's episode, I'm sharing my story + kicking off the first episode in "The Rebel Series".

Let's meet life head-on, get real, and make positive changes in our lives! Grab your favorite piece of chocolate and let's dive in!

Welcome to my first ever Event Spotlight! In this episode, I interview my entrepreneurial bestie, Marie, who shares her journey (and that of her business partner, Jessi) as they courageously plunged into hosting intimate client retreats. The tips and perspective that Marie shares about their journey during this behind-the-scenes conversation are GOLD. Plus, we had a ton of laughs over AirBnB hot tubs and purple Post-Its. (#BecauseUs) Be ready to take notes and laugh-snort your coffee! Enjoy!
