• The Q4 Mindset Shift: Let's get real—Q4 is prime time to start planning for a powerful start to the new year.

And just as important—what's NOT coming with you into the new year? Let's leave behind the services, strategies, or mindsets that didn't serve us.
• Streamline & Tweak for Success: I share how I've reworked my own She's LinkedUp programs to align with what's next in my business—and how you can do the same. Sometimes a small tweak to pricing, delivery, or even target clients can make all the difference in how much joy and revenue your offers bring.
• Plan a Holiday-Themed Visibility Campaign: The holiday season is a fantastic time to reach out, reconnect, and stay top of mind with your audience. From gratitude messages around Thanksgiving to holiday well-wishes, these moments provide organic ways to connect.

About The Episode:

If you've been feeling the pull to step out of your corporate role and into something that gives you more flexibility, more autonomy, and the ability to create an impact on your terms, then this episode is for you! You don't have to make that leap blindly. LinkedIn is the perfect tool to position yourself for high-value consulting contracts before you even hand in your resignation letter.

In today's episode, I'm sharing my personal journey of leaving the corporate world and how I built my consulting business on the side. Trust me, I get it—it's hard to leave the security of a regular paycheck, especially when you have a family to support, but it is possible! I've been in your shoes, and in this episode, I'll walk you through the exact steps I took to ensure that I had a steady income stream in place before making that big leap.

Episode Highlights:

• Mindset Shifts for Success: One of the most important things you'll need to embrace is a new mindset. When you transition from being an employee to being a consultant or entrepreneur, you are stepping into a new role as a thought leader. This requires a mental shift from doing the work to leading the work. I'll walk you through what this looks like and how you can start making that shift today.
• Crafting a Client-Attracting LinkedIn Profile: Your LinkedIn profile should not look like a résumé when you're gearing up for consulting. Instead, it should be a beacon that showcases your expertise and invites high-ticket clients to connect with you. We'll cover how to update your profile so that it speaks directly to the types of clients you want to attract, and how to use LinkedIn's features to boost your credibility and visibility.
• Building a Magnetic Network: Networking on LinkedIn is about more than just connecting with anyone and everyone. I'll teach you how to strategically build a powerful network that will drive your consulting business forward. You'll learn how to connect with potential clients, industry influencers, and strategic partners in a way that feels authentic and aligned with your goals.
• Leveraging Thought Leadership and Visibility: Clients don't just buy services—they buy from people they know, like, and trust. That's why building a thought leadership brand on LinkedIn is crucial. I'll show you how to do this through content creation, engaging with your network, and showcasing your expertise in a way that positions you as the go-to person in your field.

Final Thoughts:

This episode is packed with actionable LinkedIn strategies that will help you make the transition from corporate to consulting with confidence. We'll cover everything from optimizing your profile to building a network that supports your goals. But more than that, this episode is about giving you the tools to own your expertise and step fully into your role as a consultant or entrepreneur. Whether you're still in your corporate role and dreaming of consulting, or you've already made the leap and are looking for ways to build your brand, this episode is going to provide you with a roadmap for success. Remember, making the leap from corporate to consulting doesn't have to be scary. With the right mindset, the right strategies, and a little bit of LinkedIn magic, you can create a life and business that not only supports you but also allows you to thrive. Don't settle for less than what you deserve—start building that consulting brand today!

Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Good Girls Get Rich! I can't wait to see you step into your next chapter with confidence and power. And as always, if you need any extra support or have questions, I'm here for you.

Welcome to Good Girls Get Rich! I'm your host, Karen Yankovich, and today I'm thrilled to have the incredible Patty Block on the show! Patty is a business advisor, speaker, and author of Your Hidden Advantage. She's been helping women business owners make the big leap into their third act with more confidence, profit, and joy.

Patty Block is a business advisor, transition expert, author, and speaker. Since 2006, she has worked with women business owners who are experts in their fields to transition to their Third Act – when they're ready to do the work they've always longed to do.

These women have built profitable and valuable businesses but instead of feeling like there's something missing, they're feeling like there's something MORE.

In her bestselling book, Your Hidden Advantage: Unlock the Power to Attract Right-fit Clients and Boost Your Revenue, Patty reveals a new perspective and proven, practical solutions, guiding women to unleash their inner power to run their business with more confidence, profit, and joy.

Patty considers herself a native Texan, even though she wasn't born there. She got to Texas as fast as she could (at age four) and is based in Houston. Patty raised three wonderful humans who all caught the entrepreneurial bug and have their own successful businesses.

Patty's passion and experience as a business advisor and owner, lobbyist, political consultant, and non-profit executive comes full-circle, as she turns roadblocks into building blocks for women-owned businesses.

About The Episode:

We're diving deep into the "Broken Cookie Effect" – something I know every one of us can relate to. You know how we sometimes eat the burnt pancakes or broken cookies, while everyone else gets the best? Yeah, it's not just in the kitchen – we're doing it in our businesses too! Patty talks about how we undervalue ourselves and underprice our services, and the impact that has on our profits.

Patty also shares her journey from politics to business and what led her to build programs specifically designed to help women. She has powerful insights on how we can stop underselling ourselves and start positioning our businesses for success – even setting ourselves up for that big "third act" or exit!

Episode Highlights:

• The "Broken Cookie Effect" and how it shows up in pricing
• Transitioning from a successful second act to a purposeful third act
• Why so many women business owners undervalue their companies and how to change that
• The importance of building a business that can be sold, and how to position it for a successful exit
• Patty's Exit Readiness Index – a powerful tool to help you evaluate your business for sale, even if you're not ready to sell

Final Thoughts: Why This Episode Matters: Ladies, if you've ever wondered if your business is "good enough" to sell or if you're just not sure how to value what you've built, this episode is for you. Patty and I break down the importance of pricing, building revenue engines, and why your business is a key asset – your version of a pension! You don't have to wait until you're ready to retire to start thinking about this stuff.

Takeaways:

• Stop eating the broken cookies! Value your work, price it right, and build your business for long-term success.
• It's never too early to think about selling your business, even if you don't plan on it anytime soon.
• By setting your business up for success now, you're not only making more money today, but you're also increasing your wealth for the future.

2. "We're bringing that spirit of self-sacrifice into our businesses, and it manifests in how we price our services. We undervalue ourselves, and then we underprice and overdeliver, which makes our profit go poof."

1. "Let's fill your cup up first, so that you've got a nice, full cup and can build the kind of life that you want for you and your family. Then let's build that overflow, because you can serve from that overflow."

Episode Highlights:

I'm breaking down how you can optimize your LinkedIn profile to position yourself as a keynote speaker. We're talking profile optimization, event research, cold outreach, and ways to leverage networking to land those stages—big or small. From local women's groups to virtual conferences, showing up as the speaker puts you in front of an audience that can feed your business and expand your reach.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

• Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile: Add "keynote speaker" to your skills and headline. Sprinkle in keywords like thought leader, industry expert, and keynote speaker throughout your profile.
• Leverage Recommendations: After every speaking engagement (big or small), ask for LinkedIn recommendations from event organizers. It's a powerful way to build credibility and showcase your expertise.
• Network Intentionally: Research the right events, connect with conference organizers, and follow speakers in your niche. Proactively engaging with the right people can open doors to more opportunities.
• Monetize Free Speaking Gigs: Yes, sometimes you'll have to pay to get on stage, but I promise, the long-term rewards will far outweigh the upfront costs.
• Build Your Thought Leader Brand: Every event is a chance to show up as an expert—not just to the audience, but to the media and other influencers in the room.

Final Thoughts:

Ready to Land Your First (or Next) Speaking Gig? Let's get that microphone in your hand!

Here's what we cover:

• What the new laws mean for buyer's agents—and how you can use this change to stand out.

• The power of newsjacking this story! The media hasn't covered this as much as you'd think, so there's a golden opportunity to get visible by pitching yourself to local and national outlets as the go-to real estate expert.
• PR strategies that will help you cement your position as a thought leader in this ever-changing market. Start getting your name in articles, podcasts, and community events ASAP!

I also give you the inside scoop on how to optimize your LinkedIn profile for maximum visibility. We're talking about headlines that showcase your expertise in navigating the new laws, content strategies that attract clients, and how PR can boost your credibility.

Why This Matters NOW: These new laws are shifting the landscape of real estate, and while it might feel a little overwhelming, it's actually a massive opportunity if you play your cards right. Imagine being the *trusted advisor* who helps clients navigate this new market with confidence. This is your chance to shine!

Secret Podcast Alert! Want to dive even deeper into this? I've got a *secret podcast* just for you! It's packed with strategies to help you master LinkedIn, PR, and positioning yourself as a high-ticket buyer's agent. Plus, I'm sharing mindset visualizations to help you step into this new role with confidence.

Until next time, stay confident, stay visible, and keep making those powerful connections!

Magical Quotes from the Episode:

Karen Yankovich:

1. "These new laws are pushing you to evolve, and that evolution means you need to shift from just being an agent to being a trusted advisor and thought leader."

2. "This is an opportunity for you. If you position yourself correctly now, these changes can actually help you grow your business in ways you never imagined."

3. "LinkedIn is where you build your database, and not enough of you are using it. I'm here to change that."

4. "The media needs experts right now more than ever, and if you can position yourself as the go-to person for understanding these new laws, your credibility will skyrocket."

Welcome to Good Girls Get Rich! I'm your host, Karen Yankovich, and today's episode hits close to home for so many of us—balancing the demands of caregiving while still building a successful, profitable business. We've all heard of the "sandwich generation," right? Those of us who are caring for our aging parents while still supporting our children and running our businesses. It's tough, it's real, and it's not talked about nearly enough in the entrepreneurial world. That's why I'm so excited for you to meet my guest, Sue Ryan.

Sue is an expert in caregiving AND business strategy, and she's walked the walk. She knows how it feels to juggle these roles and come out on the other side with success—not just surviving, but thriving. If you're like me and so many of the incredible women in my She's LinkedUp program, this conversation is going to speak to your soul.

Episode Highlights:

Sue and I dive into the real-life challenges we face as women caring for loved ones while still showing up as leaders in our businesses. We talk about why it's crucial to normalize these conversations in our workplaces and how you can set yourself up for success in both areas of life without burning out.

In this episode, we cover:

• How caregiving can impact your business and what you can do to stay profitable while still being there for the people who matter most.
• The importance of creating boundaries and why having honest conversations with your family and business team is key to reducing stress.
• Practical tips for building a support system—from leveraging technology to outsourcing tasks—so you don't feel like you have to do it all on your own.
• Why it's essential to remove the stigma of caregiving in business and how you can lead by example for your employees and contractors.
• Strategies for keeping your business running smoothly while still being present for your family.

Sue and I both understand that you don't have to choose between being a great caregiver and running a successful business. In fact, the strategies we share in this episode will help you thrive in both roles—without sacrificing one for the other. There is a way to support your loved ones AND continue to build wealth and influence. We've got your back!

3. "You don't have to navigate caregiving and business alone. Leverage your support systems and get creative—whether it's technology or a community of people who understand the journey."

Karen Yankovich:

1. "Caregiving is a reality for so many entrepreneurs, and it's not something we talk about enough—but it absolutely impacts how we run our businesses."

2. "I've realized over the years that running a business while supporting aging parents isn't something you just 'figure out'—it requires real strategy, boundaries, and planning."
