Most companies are good at branding and can create a website, but they don’t have an understanding of authentic messaging nor do they have a lot of heart services. Elevate5's main objective is breaking through clarity, and that is why it resonates with so many audiences. Elevate5 is the brainchild of Jodee Mittlestadt and her sister, Cara Christenson. It is a website orienting and authentic messaging company that serves and lifts the small business owners seeking clarity to grow their own businesses. Jodi talks about the process that she goes through with her clients, as well as other services they offer such as professional branding and website creation.

I'm excited to have with me JoDee Mittlestadt and she owns Elevate5, which is a website branding and authentic messaging company that she operates with her sister and her business partner, Cara Christenson. I have the joy and pleasure of meeting the two of them and got excited about what they do because they do it as heartrepreneurs. In fact, they have grown Elevate5 with a heart to serve and lift the small business owner who was seeking clarity to grow their own businesses. Through insight and interview, JoDee aides her clients in breaking through to the clarity and then pairs that with a strategic plan that aligns with the client’s gifts and skills.

That's an unusual approach and that's what I love about it. It's topped off with professional branding and website creation so that this new found clarity is put into instant action, attracting new, highly aligned business growth. JoDee and her sister are equally passionate about serving entrepreneurs and they love helping them find their joy and center with the clarity gained in their own business breakthrough. I have JoDee with me. We're going to discuss business breakthroughs, how to know when you are in the process of cracking into the next level of your business, which is going to be exciting.

Breaking Through Clarity To Grow Your Business with Jodee Mittlestadt

 

JoDee, thanks for joining me in Heartrepreneur Radio.

Thank you, Terri. I'm honored to be here. I love what you do and we do. We’re aligned with a heartrepreneur message and so when we saw this opportunity, "Let's chat about authenticity and heartrepreneurs."

I'm excited about it because I have websites up for I guess 21 years now and I've owned 60 or 70 websites and I can tell you that most of the companies that I've worked with along the line, they could do branding and they could create a website, but they weren't heartrepreneurs. They didn't have an understanding of authentic messaging and I'm not sure that they had a lot of heart in service. When I discovered you and Cara, I resonate so much. First, I'm curious, how did you get into this business? You could be doing anything.

I was one of those in the past in reverse, that’s completely clear, but in the moment, you don't know where you're ending up. All the perfect experiences, a little bit of creative direction, a whole lot of website creation, graphic design, Cara had her own business that she was running solo and we had been sharing notes. “Can you imagine if we work together?” Cara is my sister. It makes this extra special business connection that we get to have. She has that coding history background. We both bring the design, love of these entrepreneurs and then I have that marketing and strategy piece as well as that design piece. We felt like, "We could package this all up and serve these people in a great way." As that took shape, it grew more and more exciting. When we say equally passionate, we mean it. We get a little too excited about websites maybe.

I could feel your passion and that's where a lot of the resonance was coming fro...
