We sat down with expert story teller Jilliane Yawney from Calgary Alberta. She is a story coach, a TEDx coach and the creator of the Core 7 Stories for Business™ framework. She has worked with Shark Tank winners, board game creators, and multi-national real estate managers to change lives and grow brands. Jilliane and I talk all about how to choose story for your soul vs story for your audience - can they be the same? How do you decide what stories to share with the world as an entrepreneur. Once you've listened leave a review & tag us on social media #hellolifeacademy.

This is for the entrepreneurs who KNOW they will make mistakes, are brave enough to do so but smart enough to learn from those who have walked the path before them. I'm so happy I got to sit down & record this to bring some awareness to the 5 most common mistakes I've watched 1000s of entrepreneurs make. One of them being - Not taking your business SERIOUSLY!  Once you listen, tag us on social media with a screenshot of the episode so we can come over and check out your social platforms too!

Just get a darn website, if you want to have a business you NEED to have a store. 

Let it grow — it won’t be ‘perfect’ at first, but it will evolve xo

First thing I did: Get a website. I built my first website on WIX and it sucked…literally was just a page with “here are my classes” but it took PAYMENTS, which was the BEST thing I could’ve ever done. When people show up to your store with their credit card/ bank card = they want to pay you..let them.

Treat your website:

Every entrepreneur NEEDS a list, but so many of us just focus so much on putting content out into the world and find we never have any "leads". 

It's time to start building up a line up outside of your store so you always have leads.  In this episode I talk all about how you can collect information from your audience,  so you can make sure to stay in touch with them outside of social media. It's time to get OFF social media and dive into your marathon list building. 

Some key points in this episode: 

LIST BUILDING = core foundation of building ANY business.

This week we chat with Alana Simpson the owner and creator of Loveleighmaed. This woman is an incredible wife, mother, entrepreneur and farm girl! One of the things I am obsessed with: branding. Making all things in business look pretty, and she's your gal.  She helps women develop websites and brands they love. In this episode she helps us recognize how powerful your brand is beyond the lego. She dives deep into what is your WHY, and really figuring out why your clients need you.  Alana and I have partnered up to create the Modern Collaboration Society (Check it out HERE).

We all want to have more eyes on our businesses & it can be easy if you're FOCUSED. Create content on one platform that people can gradually get to know you and your knowledge around the product, services you're offering. If you start with Facebook you can understand the BASICS and the foundation of relationship building online. 

In this episode we talk specifically about where you can START with your own marketing instead of trying to do all the things (Pinterest/ Blog/ Podcast/ Tok Tok). 

My fave part of this episode is the gentle reminder that you are not a consumer, you are a creator. Create content that is meant for YOUR AUDIENCE to enjoy ;). If you're not sure where to or how to start with this, I give specific ideas on what you can post on your platforms to encourage people to talk, share and eventually buy your stuff!
