This week's episode of Good Girls Get Rich is brought to you by Uplevel Media CEO and LinkedIn expert, Karen Yankovich. In this episode, Karen shares why you might need to shift your business and how you can do that.

Sometimes, having to change and make shifts in your business can feel like failure, but it's not! That's just the life of a full-time entrepreneur. If something isn't working or it's time to make something better… shift! Here's why and how you should shift:

1. What makes your heart sing? What's your big business plan? If what you're doing doesn't make you happy or isn't achieving your goals, it's time to make a shift.
2. Lay out your path. When you lay out the path to success for your life and your business, think big! If you're not thinking big, you're not on the right path.
3. Listen and learn. As you travel on the path you've set, listen and learn. What suggestions do your clients have? What is and isn't working? Take everything into consideration so you can make good, educated shifts toward success.

Having to shift how you do things isn't failure. It's refining your path to success. Learn to embrace change, and you'll be achieving your goals in no time!

Simone Craig is a brilliant wealth expert for women entrepreneurs. So many women don't know how to build generational wealth, or even how to make a profit.

One very important aspect of making money is to make sure you pay yourself. If you don't pay yourself, you'll lose the motivation to keep your business going.

It's also important to delegate. You might think you can't afford an assistant or a manager, but hiring someone to help will free up your time to do what really matters to help you make money.

Learn more about how to build generational wealth in Episode 174 with Simone Craig!

2. Your About Section: You can have up to 2,600 characters in your About section. Use every single character! And make sure it's full of important keywords.

In our digital world, videos are becoming more and more popular and necessary. And while videos need to be natural, comfortable, and real, there are some ways to make your videos look top-notch without going overboard.

For starters, you'll need a screencast program. This will help you record yourself while sharing your screen. When you record yourself, you need to make sure you have good lighting. And while speaking, make sure to look directly into the camera to make a deeper connection with your audience.

In addition, make sure you have a good background, whether that's a backdrop or a nice-looking background in your house or office. It can also be hard to adjust to your hearing yourself on video, but remember… that's how others hear you. There's nothing to worry about!

This week's episode of Good Girls Get Rich is brought to you by Uplevel Media CEO and LinkedIn expert, Karen Yankovich. In this episode, Karen shares her best practices for returning to in-person events after the pandemic.

We've all adjusted to virtual lifestyles. Now that things are starting to return to being in-person, it's time to readjust and prepare for in-person events.

The last year has been unique and challenging. During the pandemic, we adjusted to a new normal with so many areas of our life becoming virtual. Now that we're nearing the end of this pandemic, things are starting to get back to the way they were pre-Covid.

Returning to pre-Covid times can be stressful, however. You might not be in the groove of doing as many things in-person as you were before. As you start going to in-person networking events again, here are some best practices to follow to help keep you from getting overwhelmed.

1. Before the Event: Before you go anywhere, discern what you say "yes" to. It's okay to say "no" sometimes. If you do decide to go to the event, take the time to connect with people before you go.
2. During the Event: While you're there, network with people. It's critical to make sure your LinkedIn URL is on your business card.
3. After the Event: When it's all over, make sure you follow up with people. Set aside the next day (or at least a portion of the day) to connect with them. If you're not following up with people, what's the point in even going to the event?

Follow these best practices for returning to in-person events, and you'll find yourself less stressed and more ready to make meaningful connections.

It's no secret that the gender wage gap still exists. Not only is there a wage gap, but women don't often hold as much influence as their male counterparts in the business world.

Part of this is due to social constructs. But we as women also don't always give as much pushback as men. When offered a salary, men will often negotiate for a salary. Some women will just accept the first offer. In addition, sometimes women don't have as much influence in their positions because they don't make their voices heard.

Rosina Racioppi shares how she's helping women overcome these issues in Episode 169. Listen now!

This week's episode of Good Girls Get Rich is brought to you by Uplevel Media CEO and LinkedIn expert, Karen Yankovich. In this episode, Karen shares that you don't have to be a superhero, just a human hero.

In pursuit of our goals, it might feel like we have to do everything perfectly. It's good to chase your goals, but you shouldn't feel exhausted in that pursuit. It's time to stop trying to be a superhero and start being a human hero.

How can you be a human hero? Start by checking your mindset. If your mindset isn't on success, you'll never achieve it. You also need to unlearn what you've learned. You don't have to run yourself ragged. When you're exhausted, it's okay to not do everything. You don't have to do the dishes before you go to bed… they'll be there when you have energy!

In your pursuit of success, you're still a human hero even if you're not a superhero. Listen to Episode 168 to learn more!

As a Japanese-American woman, Irene Nakamura understands how women of color are often oppressed. Growing up in a Japanese household, Irene had to break from suppressive cultural traditions. Once she entered the business world, she encountered more cultural oppression.

Breaking free from suppressive cultural traditions can be hard, but Irene is paving the way and helping other women do the same. She recommends four ways to overcome culturally suppressive upbringings.

1. Identify your discomfort zone
2. You'll never be fully ready, so commit and figure it out as you go
3. Break free from toxic influences
4. Find your tribe of people who will support you

Ready to break free from cultural oppression? Listen to this episode, hear Irene's advice, and get the encouragement you need to overcome obstacles!
