Good Girls Get Rich Podcast

Welcome to Good Girls Get Rich! I’m your host, Karen Yankovich, and and today, I’m diving into a conversation that is so close to my heart.

Let’s face it, we all remember the grind of the 9-to-5 world. The alarm clocks, the long commutes, the hustle to meet deadlines. But what if we brought that same level of commitment and structure into our own businesses for just ONE month?

Episode Highlights:

In this episode, I’m breaking down the mindset shifts we need to move from employee to entrepreneur—and I’m not talking about working 10-hour days forever. I’m talking about putting intentional, focused effort into our businesses, just like we did when we had someone else to be accountable to. If you’re feeling the burnout or your 2024 isn’t shaping up the way you’d hoped, this episode is for you!

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why treating your business with the same structure as your 9-to-5 could change EVERYTHING!
• The power of intentional time blocking and how I use the Pomodoro technique to stay productive.
• How accountability in your business can drive success, even when you’re your own boss.
• Why hustle culture isn’t the answer—but mindful, focused effort is.
• Practical tips to make October (or whenever you're listening!) your most productive month yet.

Plus, I’ve got an offer for you! If you’re struggling with how to bring more money into your life and business, let’s talk. You can book a call with me here to chat about it. Together, we can figure out a plan that works for you.

Final Thoughts: Don’t forget to join our LinkedIn for Women Facebook community, where we’re always lifting each other up! And if this episode resonated with you, share it on your socials and tag me @KarenYankovich. I’d love to shout you out to my audience!

Thanks for tuning in! Let’s make this month your most productive yet.

Welcome to Good Girls Get Rich! I’m your host, Karen Yankovich, and today we’re talking about the *massive* changes in the real estate world that every buyer’s agent needs to know about. If you’re in the U.S., you’ve probably heard about the new laws that are totally changing how buyer’s agents work. And let me tell you, this is shaking up the industry in a BIG way!

#GoodGirlsGetRich 

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

Episode Highlights:

In this episode, I’m spilling the tea on these new buyer’s agent laws and why now is the time to position yourself as a trusted expert. No more casual walk-ins at open houses—buyers are now required to sign contracts with agents, and this opens up huge opportunities for you to redefine your role and create a high-ticket offer.

Here’s what we cover:

• What the new laws mean for buyer’s agents—and how you can use this change to stand out.
• Why building your personal brand on LinkedIn is non-negotiable right now. If buyers need to commit to you upfront, you better make sure your LinkedIn profile screams, "I’m the expert you need!"
• 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.

• Snap a screenshot of this episode and share it with your network, especially if you know a buyer’s agent who could benefit from this information!
• If you loved this episode, sharing is caring! Tag me so I can spread the word too.

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!

Magical Quotes from the Episode:

Sue Ryan:

1. "The goal is to help family caregivers become confident, balanced, and supported in all phases of their journey, without sacrificing their professional lives."

2. "By 2030, more people will be over 65 than under, and the available pool of caregivers is shrinking. It's critical for businesses to start recognizing and supporting the caregiving role."

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."

3. "As a business leader, I’m not just thinking about myself. I have employees and contractors who are also juggling these same challenges. We need to create support systems that work for everyone."

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!

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.

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."

About the Episode:

Welcome to another exciting episode of the Good Girls Get Rich podcast. I'm your host, Karen Yankovich, and today, we've got a powerhouse guest with us – Joanne Bolt, the CEO and founder of Podcast Her and the host of The B Word podcast. Joanne is here to spill all the juicy details about her journey from real estate agent to top podcaster and how she's amplifying women's voices through podcasting. Trust me; you don't want to miss this one!

Episode Highlights:

Meet Joanne Bolt Joanne Bolt is not just a podcaster; she's a trailblazer! From running a $56 million real estate team to founding Podcast Her, Joanne's journey is a testament to the power of pivoting and finding your true passion. She started in real estate, moved into coaching, and finally found her calling in podcasting. Joanne's story is an inspiration for anyone looking to transition and find their voice in a new field.

The Power of Podcasting Joanne and I dive deep into why podcasting is such a powerful tool for building a thought leader brand.

Starting Your Podcast Journey Are you thinking about starting a podcast? Joanne's got some golden nuggets for you! She emphasizes that your first few episodes might not be perfect, and that's okay. The key is to start and be consistent. Joanne shares her 'embrace the suck' mantra, encouraging new podcasters to get their content out there and refine it over time.

Monetizing Your Podcast Joanne breaks down her unique 'affiliate non-affiliate strategy' for monetizing podcasts. Instead of waiting for sponsors, Joanne suggests leveraging affiliate links for products you love and use. This approach not only brings in revenue but also keeps your content genuine and valuable to your listeners.

Magical Quotes from the Episode:

Joanne Bolt:

1. On the power of podcasting:

   "Every skill set that I had as a real estate agent translated over into podcasting, different languages, different terminologies, but the same concept of running your own business."

2. On starting a podcast:

   "Your first 10 episodes are gonna suck. So embrace the suck, it is okay. Please just start recording and get out there. And don't worry about being perfect on your first 10."

3. On monetizing a podcast:

   "I call it the affiliate non-affiliate strategy. I was an affiliate for some products like Kajabi. I just recorded a little mid-blurb and created a landing page with my affiliate link. It actually added up over time."

Karen Yankovich:

1. 1. On podcasting's impact on business:

      "It's never been monetized via sponsors. It's always been monetized via driving people to my own products and services. And that is where it's so valuable for me."

   2. On the importance of alignment:

      "There needs to be some kind of consistent content every week. If you're running an online business, or if you're marketing yourself online, you do need to have some consistent fresh content every week."

   3. On the evolution of podcasting:

      "You may start out thinking you're going to talk about LinkedIn. And the next thing you know, you are an expert on a certain piece of LinkedIn, or using LinkedIn for something else, because you keep talking about it."

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.
