  • From Side Hustle to Six Figures: The Gig Economy Strategy No One's Talking About

    Welcome back to another episode of Good Girls Get Rich! I'm Karen Yankovich, and today we're talking about something a bit fun and a little bit different — the gig economy. Now, I know when you hear "gig economy," you're probably thinking Uber drivers or Instacart shoppers, and yes, that's definitely part of it. But let's shift the narrative a bit here, okay?

    About the Episode:

    The gig economy is much bigger than just delivery apps — it's freelance writing, social media management, consulting, and so much more! Whether you want to work a few hours a week or build a multi-six or seven-figure empire, the opportunities are endless. And as we all know, personal branding is key to thriving in this space. That's where LinkedIn becomes your best friend!

    We're diving deep into:

    • How the gig economy is more than just side hustles – it's your path to financial freedom and long-term wealth
    • The power of LinkedIn branding to stand out in the competitive landscape and secure those high-paying gigs
    • Why focusing on your unique value proposition can eliminate income gaps, especially for women
    • How to create a personal brand that positions you for higher-ticket gigs and long-term success
    • The steps to flip your mindset and embrace premium pricing strategies for those big opportunities

    The gig economy is booming, and trust me, it's not just a trend—it's a huge opportunity for women like us to take control of our careers and incomes. I'm passionate about helping you navigate this shift and use platforms like LinkedIn to build massive visibility and credibility.

    Key Takeaways:

    • The gig economy is exploding, and it's not just for entry-level jobs. It's for professionals ready to step into a new chapter with flexibility and freedom.
    • Creating a strong LinkedIn profile isn't just about listing your skills—it's about telling your story, standing out, and commanding top dollar for your expertise.
    • If you're struggling with income gaps, especially if you're a mom (yes, there's data behind this), you can change that by building your own path in the gig economy.
    • High-ticket opportunities are within your reach, and they often start with the conversations you're having on LinkedIn today. Let's start showing up like the high earners we're meant to be!

  • Maximize Your LinkedIn Profile: 5 Essential Optimization Tips

    Welcome to episode 284 of the Good Girls Get Rich Podcast, hosted by Karen Yankovich. In this episode, Karen dives into essential yet often overlooked basics for optimizing your LinkedIn profile. Whether you're new to LinkedIn or looking to polish your existing profile, these five steps will help you maximize your presence and leverage LinkedIn to its fullest potential.

    Episode Highlights

    1. Optimize Your Featured Section

    Why It's Important: The featured section is a prime spot to showcase your most important content. It's a visual highlight reel of your professional achievements and key resources.

    How to Use It: Add links to your website, PDFs, recent podcasts, or a call-to-action like booking a call with you. Keep it focused with only 2-3 items to avoid overwhelming viewers.

    2. Customize Your LinkedIn URL

    Why It's Important: A customized URL is easier to remember and looks more professional on business cards and email signatures.

    How to Do It: Make sure your URL includes your name, not your business name, to maintain a personal touch. Simple instructions can be found with a quick Google search.

    3. Give and Receive Endorsements and Recommendations

    Why It's Important: Endorsements and recommendations build credibility and enhance your profile's visibility in LinkedIn searches.

    How to Do It: Take time to endorse skills and write recommendations for others. This not only helps them but often results in reciprocal endorsements for you. Focus on endorsing skills you want to be known for.

    4. Utilize the Services Section

    Why It's Important: Listing your services helps potential clients quickly understand what you offer and makes your profile searchable for those services.

    How to Do It: If you have LinkedIn Sales Navigator or Premium, you can detail your services more extensively. At a minimum, ensure your core services are listed.

    5. Reconnect with Your Network

    Why It's Important: Reconnecting with past contacts can lead to new opportunities and strengthen existing relationships.

    How to Do It: Regularly review your connections and reach out to individuals with whom you've lost touch. Personalize your messages and look for mutual benefits.

    Action Steps

    Featured Section: Add or update your LinkedIn featured section today.

    URL Customization: Ensure your LinkedIn URL is customized with your name.

    LinkedIn Endorsements and Recommendations: Write two recommendations and endorse five skills today.

    Services Section: Update and optimize your services section.

    Reconnect: Spend 10 minutes three times a week reaching out to your network.

    Join the Community

    Karen emphasizes the importance of community and invites listeners to join the "LinkedIn for Women" Facebook group for ongoing support and resources. She also highlights upcoming events and training programs that are either free or low-cost, providing valuable insights into magnetic marketing strategies.

    Closing Thoughts

    Karen reminds listeners that small, consistent actions on LinkedIn can significantly impact your business success. By implementing these simple steps, you can create a magnetic approach to building your business, attracting more opportunities and clients.

    In this week's episode of the Good Girls Get Rich Podcast, Karen Yankovich sits down with the dynamic Candy Barone, CEO of You Empowered Strong, to explore the transformative power of human design in leadership and business.

    With a rich background in corporate leadership, mechanical engineering, and Six Sigma, Candy brings a unique blend of practical expertise and intuitive insight to the table.

    Together, they delve into the nuances of human design, particularly for projectors, and discuss how understanding and leveraging one's energetic blueprint can lead to more authentic and effective leadership.

    From magnetic marketing strategies to navigating the global energy shifts, this episode is packed with wisdom and actionable advice for anyone looking to elevate their professional journey.

    Tune in to discover how you can harness the energy of visibility and step into your true potential.

    We want to hear your thoughts on this episode! Leave us a message on Speakpipe or email us at [email protected].

    Episode Highlights:

    Meet Candy Barone We kick things off with Candy's impressive background. With nearly two decades in corporate, a Mechanical Engineering degree, a Six Sigma Black Belt, and an MBA, she's a true powerhouse! Candy's journey from corporate to empowering leaders and using human design is super inspiring. She's all about aligning personal and professional growth and bringing a heart-centered approach to leadership.

    What is Human Design? So, what exactly is human design? It's this fascinating system that combines astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and the Chakras to map out our unique energy types. There are five main types – Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors. Each one of us fits into one of these categories. I dive into my own journey with human design. I've always loved astrology and the mystical stuff, but human design felt especially validating and just clicked with my experiences.

    Challenges for Projectors in Business Projectors, like me, are supposed to wait for invitations, which can be tricky in a business world where you're expected to go-get-go! Candy shares how projectors can become so magnetic and visible that invitations naturally come their way. It's about creating a strong personal brand and showcasing your expertise. I chat about the challenge of balancing lead generation with waiting for invitations. Candy's insights on how projectors can attract the right opportunities without the traditional hustle are game-changing.

    Magnetic Marketing and the Energy of Visibility We talk about how marketing has changed. Techniques like webinars and Facebook ads just don't cut it anymore. I share my take on using LinkedIn and PR to create a magnetic profile that draws clients in naturally. And guess what? I've started a new initiative called the Energy of Visibility to help professionals harness their energy to attract opportunities effortlessly.

    Navigating the Changing Energies Candy talks about the massive global energy shifts happening as we move from the Cross of Planning to the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix. This new cycle emphasizes divine feminine qualities like intuition and individualized success, requiring a fresh approach to leadership.

    Practical Steps for Projectors Candy advises projectors to figure out where they're feeling depleted and find ways to refill their tanks. It's all about self-care, setting boundaries, and prioritizing well-being. Projectors, it's time to get visible and share your truth! Don't wait for an invite – let your voice be heard on social platforms. Stay aligned and resourceful so you're ready to grab the right opportunities when they come your way.

    The Future of Leadership and Business Candy emphasizes the need to adapt to these new energies with leadership styles that prioritize well-being and alignment. We discuss how crucial it is for lightworkers and healers to step into leadership roles and build visibility to make a broader impact.

    Action Steps:

    For Projectors:

    • Figure out where you feel depleted and find ways to refill your energy and resources.
    • Identify where you're feeling bitterness and work on clearing it.
    • Get visible! Share your truth and let your voice be heard.

    For Non-Projectors:

    • Generators and Manifesting Generators: Reflect on what resonated with you and explore further.
    • Manifestors: Share your thoughts on how human design might apply to your life.
    • Reflectors: Dive into where you feel the deepest resonance and explore your energetics.

    Magical Quotes from the Episode:

    Candy Barone:

    1. "It's about you becoming a magnetic lighthouse and attracting those who feel and see your value."
    2. "Human design doesn't give you anything you don't already have. It's about remembering and validating your natural way of being."
    3. "Where do you need to give yourself permission to be more visible?"
    4. "Projectors, it's time to get visible and share your truth! Don't wait for an invite – let your voice be heard."
    5. "We're moving into a new energy cycle that emphasizes divine feminine qualities like intuition, compassion, and individualized success."

    Karen Yankovich: "What worked five years ago, doesn't work anymore. We've shifted our marketing strategies to focus on magnetic profiles and authentic visibility."

  • Navigating 2024 Market Changes: The Power of a Strong Personal Brand

    Hello, hello, and welcome to the Good Girls Get Rich Podcast! I'm Karen Yankovich, your host, and today we're diving into a topic I'm incredibly passionate about: the transformative power of investing in your personal brand, especially in a market that's changing faster than ever.

    Embracing the Shift in Marketing Trends

    Let's face it, the marketing world has flipped on its head! What used to work like a charm is now old news. Those low-ticket funnels? They're just not cutting it anymore. But here's the thing: while we may not always know what the market is changing to, there's one thing we can always count on – the value of our personal brand.

    Your Personal Brand is Your Anchor

    Amidst all the chaos and uncertainty, your personal brand is your anchor. It's the one constant you can rely on to navigate through these turbulent times. When you invest in your personal brand, you're not just securing your present; you're paving the way for future success, no matter what the market throws your way.

    Building Credibility Through Your Personal Brand

    Your personal brand is your most valuable asset. It's not just about what you do, but who you are and what you stand for. By enhancing your LinkedIn profile and showcasing your journey, achievements, and values, you can significantly boost your credibility. This makes you more attractive to potential clients and employers who are looking for authenticity and reliability.

    Aligning Your Brand with Your Values

    In today's world, visibility comes with responsibility. It's crucial to align your brand with your core values and be transparent about them. People want to know who they're doing business with, and sharing your values builds trust and deepens your connection with your audience.

    Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

    Let's talk about imposter syndrome. It's real, and it's something we all face, no matter how successful we are. But here's the deal: recognize it, manage it, and don't let it hold you back. Push through those feelings of doubt and step into your power. Your personal brand will only get stronger as you do.

    Networking and PR: Elevating Your Personal Brand

    Networking and public relations are key to elevating your personal brand. Building meaningful connections and leveraging PR opportunities can propel your visibility and credibility to new heights. It's about creating deeper, more personal connections that resonate with your audience.

    Actionable Steps to Strengthen Your Personal Brand
    1. Invest in Your Personal Brand: Start by enhancing your LinkedIn profile to reflect your journey, achievements, and values.
    2. Create and Share Content: Regularly share content that showcases your expertise and resonates with your audience.
    3. Build Meaningful Connections: Focus on developing deep, authentic relationships rather than just expanding your network.
    4. Leverage PR Opportunities: Use media appearances to boost your credibility and increase your visibility.
    5. Face and Manage Imposter Syndrome: Acknowledge it but don't let it hold you back. Use it as a motivator to push your limits.

    Meet Summer McStravick: Innovator of Flow Dreaming In today's podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Summer McStravick, the mind behind the transformative technique known as Flow Dreaming. Summer brings a fresh perspective on how aligning your energy with your career ambitions can lead to profound transformations in both your personal and professional life.

    What's Flow Dreaming All About? Flow Dreaming isn't just a practice—it's a way of life. Summer describes it as using guided daydreams to manifest your true desires, not just in your career but in every facet of your life. It's about harnessing the positive energy that flows through you to achieve your goals effortlessly.

    Overcoming Imposter Syndrome A significant portion of our conversation revolved around a common adversary many women face: imposter syndrome. Summer introduced us to a brilliant exercise called the "hot brag," which is designed to bolster self-confidence and help women own their professional narratives confidently.

    Key Moments You Can't Miss:

    • The Role of Energy in Success Summer dives deep into how subtle shifts in your energy can open doors you never realized were there. It's not just about what you do but how you feel about what you're doing that counts.
    • Mindset Matters Changing your mindset is pivotal when aiming for higher professional achievements. Summer shared insights on aligning your ambition with your energy, ensuring your mindset isn't holding you back.
    • Practical Tips for Real-World Success From LinkedIn strategies to personal branding, we discussed practical steps you can take today to elevate your influence and step confidently into your next chapter.

    Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen: If you've ever felt stuck or found yourself wondering why your hard work isn't paying off as expected, this episode is for you. Summer's approach to Flow Dreaming offers a new toolkit for those ready to transform their approach to personal and professional success.

    Where to Find More About Summer McStravick: Check out her website for resources on Flow Dreaming, and don't forget to look into her latest book, "Stuff Nobody Taught You," which delves deeper into these life-changing techniques.

    Final Thoughts: Today's discussion with Summer McStravick reminds us that the path to success is as much about the energy we project as the actions we take. As we explore new ways to align our intentions with our goals, remember that the journey is as significant as the destination.

    Magical Quotes from the Episode:

    • Summer McStravick on Manifesting and Setting Goals: "The biggest problem of manifesting is that most people manifest way too little; they manifest to the next step, or they shoot so high."​

    • Discussing Emotional and Energetic Realignments: "It's like making a promise, a commitment, a handshake with my future."​

    • On Energy and Ambitions: "Your energy doesn't always match your ambitions. I can teach you strategy all day long, but if we don't address that, it's so much harder and more work for you."​​

    • Summer on Personal Growth and Energy: "Everything around me is a perfect mirror of what I'm making inside me. If I want a ton of money to flood in, that's happening here first."​​

    • On Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: "The toughest exercise you could possibly do is making them go to the front of the room and brag about themselves for five minutes."​

    About the Episode:

    Hi everyone! Karen here with your shownotes from my recent conversation with Amber McCue on the Good Girls Get Rich podcast.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Amber has run multiple businesses while living all over the world, from Ethiopia to Chicago to Cote d'Ivoire to California, thanks to her husband's job in the Foreign Service. She's an expert at designing businesses to run from anywhere.
    • The landscape of online business and marketing is rapidly changing. We have to carve out time to re-evaluate how we're connecting with customers and adapt. What worked before may not work now.
    • As CEOs and business owners, we need to focus less on high-volume productivity and more on vision, strategy and creativity. Having systems, team and structure in place gives you that space.
    • Amber teaches the "how to clone yourself" methodology - finding someone to offset your strengths/weaknesses and multiply your efforts so you're not doing everything yourself. It's about streamlining your engine.
    • There's been a shift in online education from long pre-recorded video courses to more interactive, consultative experiences that give real-time support. People need customized help fast when issues come up.
    • As an entrepreneur, surround yourself with advisors so you have people to turn to when you make mistakes. Learn from it, pivot and find a new strategy. Failure is just a stepping stone.
    • Amber has some exciting events coming up - a free Modern CEO training and her annual Plan-a-thon strategic planning event in the fall. Check the shownotes for details!

    My top insight was how important it is to be adaptable right now. Be willing to let go of old ways of doing things and stay tapped into how your market is evolving. Get support and keep that bigger picture in mind as a leader.

    Let me know your biggest aha moment! And be sure to connect with Amber at ambermccue.com. Talk to you next week!

    Magical Quotes from the Episode:

    1. "If you don't have time, if you're just producing all the time, on an old way of connecting with clients, on an old way of doing things, man, we're gonna get left behind." - Amber McCue
    2. "You've got to be able to connect with your clients where they are showing up, right?" - Amber McCue
    3. "I would rather pay for help than pay for mistakes." - Karen Yankovich
    4. "Referrals are happening on LinkedIn. So that's one of the reasons why. And really, I work really hard to help tailor what we do to make it as timeless marketing as possible." - Karen Yankovich
    5. "As we change, you know, there's we can pivot and I'm here for that, Amber's here for that. So reach out to either of us. We got you." - Karen Yankovich
    6. "We are taught to be great employees, right? We'll crank it out, productivity. I'm gonna have a mindset of like me coming up early in my career and like, I can get a lot done... So we're taught to produce, but when we step into that CEO level, role and owner role and to really get the freedom, you got to stop the high levels of productivity, and you've got to shift how you get productivity and think about the future."
    7. "The idea of cloning yourself is so fun. It's that feeling that man, I wish I had a clone, I wish there was someone who could help with this, I wish I can multiply my efforts, multiply my results."

    About the Episode:

    Hey everybody, Karen Yankovich here with show notes for episode 278 of the Good Girls Get Rich podcast. Today, we're diving into how to use your LinkedIn profile to set yourself apart as a TRUE authority in your field. It's time to ditch the typical resume-focused energy and instead create a profile that positions you powerfully as the thought leader you're meant to be.

    Here's the deal - if you want to attract more influence, impact and income in your next chapter, you've got to own your expertise on LinkedIn. It starts with these key areas:

    Your Headline

    • This is your billboard to the world! Tell us who you are, who you help, and the remarkable results you create.
    • Infuse it with the keywords you want to be known for as an authority.
    • Push past the discomfort and really claim your genius here. You're a leader, not a follower.

    Your "About" Section

    • Forget the boring professional bio. You have a story that's made you the expert you are today - tell it here in an engaging way!
    • Give us your unique perspective and hard-won wisdom. Paint the picture of how you're changing the game in your industry.
    • Sprinkle in those power keywords that help the right people find you.
    • cap it off with a clear call to take the next step with you - you're the authority, lead the way.

    Your Experience Section

    • LinkedIn isn't just a resume repository. Use this section to highlight the experiences that have shaped you into the thought leader you are now.
    • Get creative and selective - align past roles with the authority brand you're building today.
    • Tell the stories that showcase how you've been honing your craft and carving out your Special place in your field.

    Keywords are your friend

    • When people are searching for an expert like you on LinkedIn, what words are they using? Think like your ideal client.
    • Work those words in naturally throughout your profile to boost your magnetism.
    • Check out other authorities in your space for inspiration, but don't copy - use it to differentiate yourself.

    Use your Featured section strategically

    • This is precious real estate to guide people deeper into your world as an authority.
    • Choose 2-3 power-packed features, like a glowing client testimonial, signature talk, or your latest book.
    • Think of it as your exclusive club - what will make people feel lucky to be invited in by an authority like you?

    Remember, an authority isn't built in a day, but it can start with optimizing your LinkedIn profile to fully own your expertise. And if you want to put your thought leadership on warp speed, I'm here to help - we write magnetic authority-building profiles FOR you in our She's Linked Up Accelerator program, plus hook you up with other done-for-you brand assets to get you out there in a bigger way. Reach out and let's explore what it looks like for you.

    You've got this, and I'm in your corner. Be sure to check the show notes for this episode at karenyankovich.com/278 for more goodies. And if you implement what we covered today, tag me on LinkedIn and let me know - I'd love to celebrate your authority-boosting moves!

    About the Episode:

    In this episode I talk about something near and dear to my heart: mindset and strategy in the ever-changing world of business, especially here in 2024.

    You know, I'm a big believer in the power of human connection, and that's something we're going to explore deeply today. I've been hearing a lot of chatter lately about how the energy in 2024 is different, and I couldn't agree more. It's all about adapting and pivoting our strategies to keep up with these changes.

    Now, let's talk about something that many of us have experienced: frustration. You're putting in the work, making those LinkedIn connections, having those collaboration calls, but sometimes, it feels like you're not seeing the results you want. But here's the thing: it's all about mindset. Instead of dwelling on what's not happening, let's shift our focus to the abundance of opportunities that are waiting for us.

    Building genuine relationships with intention and strategy is key. It's not about pushing for a sale, but rather about creating connections that lead to meaningful opportunities. And yes, it takes time and patience, especially in those high-ticket sales processes. But trust me, it's worth it.

    So, let's stay aligned with our high-value offerings and truly understand the needs of our clients. Authenticity is key here. And remember, those waiting periods? They're not setbacks; they're opportunities to nurture relationships and reframe our perspectives.

    Until next time, keep shining your light and embracing the abundance that surrounds you.

    Magical Quotes from the Episode:

    1. "I think a lot of the things that we were doing a year ago, five years ago, are not working anymore. And that doesn't mean it's time to be discouraged. It just means that we need to be ready to pivot and ready to kind of shift on our feet a little bit." - Karen Yankovich
    2. "But know that what I want for you is to get a message from you. I got a message from Katherine this week saying I'm getting a client every week." - Karen Yankovich
    3. "So let's stay aligned with our high-value offerings and truly understand the needs of our clients. Authenticity is key here, my friends." - Karen Yankovich
    4. "It's not about pushing for a sale, but rather about creating connections that lead to meaningful opportunities. And yes, it takes time and patience, especially in those high-ticket sales processes. But trust me, it's worth it." - Karen Yankovich
