Want to know a secret? No one knows what they’re doing! 

In the entrepreneurship world, we are surrounded by experts and gurus who have it all figured out- or so we think! The truth is, no one knows everything. We are all just trying to figure it out as we go. 

We all have struggles and battles that others don’t see. That is why you can’t let comparison steal your joy. You can’t dismiss your own unique lessons when looking at your journey and what brought you there. 

In this episode of the Leading Lady podcast, we are talking all about how you can stop letting comparison stunt your growth and instead, learn from those around us.

You are not the only one struggling, and you are not the only person that has questions or doubts. 

Listen in to hear more on this topic - it’s such a good one.

When you first start your business, it’s so exciting! You have so much passion for your work, so the beginning phase is just magical, isn’t it?

Sometimes, though, we end up in denial about how much work has to be done. With any business, there are going to be things that just aren’t fun and that you don’t love to do.

Getting the not-so-fun things done at the start will make your work easier because you will have the structure, discipline, and procedures in place that will keep everything running smoothly.

By doing the hard work now, you can do the smart work going forward in your business. In this episode of Leading Lady, I’m sharing my top tips for working smarter so that you can grow and scale your business without working harder. 

It’s hard to implement a work-life balance once your business is up and running, but by creating boundaries for how you’re going to work and how you’re going to structure your business in a way that works for your life and then honoring that, you are setting yourself up for success down the road as your business grows.

Tune in to learn about these tips and so much more!

Do you have a business bestie? 

A business bestie is someone you connect with professionally and you become each other's go-to person when it comes to business development and cheering each other on. You turn to each other for promoting, sharing, advice, and all things business. 

If there’s anything I learned from my favorite movies and songs growing up, it’s that women need best friends. We  can all be very different but brilliant in our own ways, and when we come together, we can be an unstoppable force. As the old saying goes, having just one friend who is there for you no matter what is all you really need. 

Entrepreneurship can be a lonely journey. There are so many highs and lows and it can be challenging when you are trying to power through it all alone. A business bestie can encourage you to chase dreams, share woes, celebrate wins, and be authentically you. 

I am a firm believer that empowered women empower women and forming these friendships can benefit you both in so many ways. In this episode of Leading Lady, I am diving deep into the topic of business friendships and how you can be the best business bestie.

Tune in to learn more about the importance of finding your person and how to show up for each other in an authentic and supportive way.

Julie is the president and CEO of the Severn Leadership Group, making the world a better place through virtuous leadership. She spent 20 years serving in the US Navy in various leadership positions in space systems, electronic warfare, and communications, followed by 10 years leading teams in the defense and information technology industries. 

Topics covered in this episode include:

• How to build a cohesive team 

• Ways a team can drive your business forward 

• What makes a great team leader

Get ready to hear one of the most popular Leading Lady episodes from the past!

Have you ever had a cake pop before? Chocolate is my favorite.

I am such a big fan of Lisa’s Cakepops in Severna Park, Mayland, so I decided to interview Lisa Schneiderman in this episode.

Not only did I want to hear all about how she makes the most delicious and creative creations, but I also wanted to hear how she was able to turn a passion into a business later in life!

While Lisa and I definitely touch on the flavors and designs of her cake pops, we mostly chat about how she started a new career after the age of 50, how she knew she could pursue her passion, and the many ways that we can all support a small business like hers.

Lisa is so in tune with her purpose and passion, and I so admire her bravery and dedication to it. I know you will too while you listen.

This conversation will inspire you, motivate you, and of course, make you want to order from Lisa’s Cake Pops yourself, so don’t miss it!
