Lead Like a Woman: Conversations on leadership, women’s health, and self-connection

How we feel about money directly impacts how much of it we have…and how we use it to impact our communities.

In today’s episode I’m joined by Melissa Mittelstaedt, a Financial Consultant & Accredited Financial Counselor® who walks alongside purpose-driven entrepreneurs in getting comfy with money. Her finance journey began once she realized that life after college couldn’t be forged on student loans and credit cards. She paid off ~50k in debt within three years and has experienced various versions of self-employment for 16 years. Melissa's zone of genius is understanding the whole flow of money, business and personal. She’s been featured in MSN, US News, Motley Fool, The Muse, and The Gal Project.

Which one is better? Leaning into your intuition as an enlightened woman who honors self-connection and manifestation as part of your business development….

….OR traditional business development that relies heavily on data and standardized process development?

My opinion as a data-driven operations expert who is also deeply in tune with my intuition?

Both should work hand in hand. That is our super power as women entrepreneurs.

In this episode we’ll explore how to utilize your intuition, data, and process standardization to develop a business that reflects your passion and creativity AND maximizes your profitability and efficiency.

This episode is going to change how you think about building your business.

Does this resonate?

You’re more than willing to delegate….IF you trust the person. And you’re having a hard time trusting your VA (or any VA for that matter) because they keep messing up.

How can you delegate and offload the way you want to when you can’t trust the person supporting you?

In today’s episode I’m sharing insights on why mistakes tend to happen in your business, how to proactively prevent them, and…

…when to get rid of a VA to make room for a high-performer 🔥
