Fearless Business Podcast

 

Today, Jamie flies solo! She gets to talk about one of her favorite topics and tell us all about her mad boundary setting skills! 

 

We often find it challenging to say no. Worry and fear can creep in and saying no may feel like we’re going to lose something or miss out on important events. 

 

But setting appropriate boundaries can help you combat this. A boundary is the process of determining the behavior you will or will not accept from others. 

 

Jamie dives into why saying no can be so hard and walks us through, step by step, how to set appropriate, healthy boundaries. 

 

Please join us in the HQ! Let us know about your boundary stories. If you struggle to say no, if this is an area you need to work on. We’d love to be your accountability partners!

We are moving right along in 2020... right into August. The summer is full steam ahead and we’re just over here dodging hurricanes like it’s no big deal. 

 

This month we’re focusing on mindset. Today we start by defining what mindset means and specifically what it means to us. Like a lot of things, we tackle this topic from different perspectives. 

 

We also have a special surprise guest today! In this episode we chat about imposter syndrome, developing skills as you grow and stepping outside of your comfort zone. 

 

Stay tuned for more in the month of August:

> The in’s and out’s of the Enneagram

> Setting boundaries and the elusive work-life balance 

> The entrepreneurial mindset 

> And more! 

 

Please join us in the HQ! We want to hear all about mindset. How do you define mindset and what mindset issues do you face?

Have you ever wanted something so badly and it just doesn’t exist? It gives you the idea for the perfect invention - but what do you do next?

 

Today Mary is talking with Avani Sarkar of Modi Toys about how she figured out just that. Avani and her brother, Viral, were both becoming new parents around the same time. While being born in India themselves, they were left wondering how they were going to be able to pass down their culture to their children. They saw a gap in the toy market and knew they had to fill it! 

 

Mary goes into how Avani got Modi Toys up and running and everything in between. Some of the questions she asks are: 

> Where did the idea for Modi Toys come from?

> After your market research, did you wonder if people that said they would buy would actually buy the product when it was live?

> What are some marketing strategies that you’ve seen work for e-commerce product businesses?

> What is something that you used to fear in your business but don't anymore?

 

Please join us in the HQ and tell us what your favorite products from small businesses are!

“What is the point of LinkedIn? How does it help my business? How many social platforms do I even have time for?”

 

These are pretty common questions when it comes to talking about LinkedIn. It is one of the many social media platforms that can help excel your business and expand your network, but where do you even start? Do you need a special strategy? Can you schedule ahead of time? Do you HAVE to pay for the premium account?

 

Mary talks with Louise Brogan of Social Bee NI this week to try to unpack all of those things! They are going to be answering some common questions to try to help make it all a little more clear for us. Some of these questions include:

> What is the most important part of your LinkedIn Profile?> Why should someone be on LinkedIn?> What is the proper etiquette to reaching out and connecting with people?

 

They answer these questions and so many more! Listen in for the details and be sure to connect with Jamie and Mary on LinkedIn!
