I hope you’re following me over on Instagram where I release a new IGTV video every single week. One of my recent videos was on the topic of being able to share your business vision with your family and friends.

The reason behind me encouraging you to do this is so that they can fully support you in what you are doing and what you are trying to build.

The problem I see with so many women entrepreneurs is that they don’t really understand what it means to have a vision for their business. And you can’t fully put into practice what you don’t fully understand.

So today, I am sharing with you some practical examples of business vision ideas from some of my own clients.

Before you get started, download your free questionnaire to help you figure out what your business vision should look like!

I am so excited about today’s episode because I am doing something that I’ve never done before. I am giving you behind the scenes access to a private coaching call with one of my clients, Betsi Hill of Betsi’s World.

Betsi is a member of my Scaler Mastermind program. In this episode, we are getting Betsi ready for her product launch. She has purchased an existing course with the plan to restructure it and make it her own before launching it.

We reference one of my signature courses in our conversation, Launch Pro, which walks you step by step through your entire launch process. If you want somebody to hold your hand through a launch, I would love to be the one to do it!

And now, let’s get into the coaching call with Betsi.

If hiring and building a team for your business were easy, everyone would be excited to do it.

The problem with continuing to do all the things in your business is that as you grow, you will quickly head toward burnout if you don’t outsource some things.

Maybe you already have a partial team in place but you know you need to add to them. But the stress you experienced when finding those team members was enough to make you not want to do it again.

The thing is, when it comes to taking your business to the next level, you have to begin to outsource some of the things you are currently doing so that you can focus on the things that make money.

Emily Perron will be sharing her 5-step strategic hiring process with us today. Emily has years of experience hiring and managing employees at both the corporate and entrepreneurial level. She also hires employees and freelancers for online entrepreneurs.

Let’s jump right into her strategy for building a team you can count on!

I am so excited to welcome my friend, Traci Gibson, to the podcast today. Traci and I met 3 years ago at Blog Life University, where Traci was hoping to learn more about starting a blog around t-shirt quilting. 

She had a business selling the quilts but she soon realized that there wasn’t a whole lot to blog about on the topic. She pivoted to 2 blogs, one of which was a lifestyle blog. And yet it still felt too broad.

So she finally niched down to what she loves which is creating digital graphics.

I want to mention that in all the pivots that Traci took, she was looking for her zone of genius.

Okay, I don’t know about all of you, but I am an avid American Idol watcher. It’s a guilty pleasure of mine that I completely indulge in.

I love the beginning phases, and while I normally lose interest by this point every year, not this time. I’m still fascinated by this year’s contestants because of how they're changing the game of social media influence.

You can be compensated for the content that you create and the influence you bring to the brand.
