Running a business is amazing… starting a business can take some work, and figuring out what you’re going to offer can be a big sticking point for a lot of people! You know you want to do something, but you can’t put your finger on WHAT. Same goes for if you’ve been in business for a while and you’re trying to expand. You know you want MORE, but you may be getting stuck on what that more is. The great news is, you’re so talented, smart, and full of value that only you can offer. It’s time to tap into it!

Today we are going to be talking about how to create an offer for your business… but not just any offer… an irresistible offer that is rooted in clarity and your mission so you can find more clients banging down the door to learn from you!

So we have been talking about self love all month on the show, but no matter how much we love ourselves, that pesky imposter syndrome can find a way to sneak in. This usually happens to me when I’m feeling a little overwhelmed or on the road to burnout, when I’m trying something new and I feel out of my league, when I spend too much time scrolling, or for reasons that I don’t even understand. Unfortunately imposter syndrome is something that affects many people (specifically women) and can really derail your boss lady mode, and quickly.

Part of being a Boss Lady is believing in yourself… Even if you feel others don't believe in you. There is room for everyone at the table, and you may not see it now, but your unique experience makes what you have to offer different than anything that's been done before! … hear that again that again…

It is time to stop  comparing yourself to others and start realizing that as long as you stay authentic and true to who you are, no one can provide what YOU have to give! No one is a great as you! And you have something special to share with the world… whether you believe it all the time or not!

Here are some tips I’ve found to help me when I’m facing the imposter in the mirror:

Visualize Your Success

Get Out Of Your Head

Ditch The Idea Of Perfection 

Keep Learning

Surround Yourself With Women You Can Relate To 

Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Accept That You Will Fail

Luck didn’t get you there, YOU did. You’ve gotten as far as you have because you’ve bossed up, worked hard, and didn’t take no for an answer. You did this, not an imposter, you!

If you are battling with imposter syndrome please send me a message at [email protected].

 I  would love to talk you through it and offer more tips on how i battle the annoying feelings myself.

Isn’t being an entrepreneur the best? How about a mompreneur? Or a solopreneur? If you’re running your business as a one woman show, you deserve some serious props because you're really out here doing the most! I have to say, I’m proud of you! One thing I talk about a lot is how lonely entrepreneurship can be. Many of us work from our homes, with our children, and are either elbows deep in mom life, or in full blown boss lady mode shut in our caves aka offices, building our empires. But… that build can feel like a slow climb. Especially when you’re on this journey solo. And it's a slow, lonely climb, if you aren’t surrounded by the right community. Running your business as a one woman show has about a million pros and cons, but you know you’re doing it for a reason… and that outweighs it all! Am I right ladies?!? You know that passion, that drive, that calling you can’t quiet. And that is why we keep going. I’ve been a one woman show for over 10 years… and as hard as it can be, I promise it’s worth it! 

Today, I want to share some of the things that have helped me run my businesses solo:

Understand Your Why

Be Clear In Your Message

Build YOUR Brand

Learn To Manage Your Time

Find Your Community 

Automate & Outsource

Invest In The Right Tools & Education

Plan For The Future

Set Goals

If you’re feeling stuck or like you may need some help with any of these things, I’ve got something exciting for you!

Today, in theme with the month of love, we are going to be talking about Boss Affirmations! Boss Affirmations aren’t much different than your normal run of the mill affirmations, except you’re a BOSS so I’m giving them this cool name because why not? Now, the thing with affirmations is that they can feel kind of silly at first. Especially if you want to go the route of standing in the mirror and telling yourself how amazing you are. It might not feel natural, and that’s ok! Just remember, the more time you give yourself to let this work, the more natural it will become, and the better you will feel! Times of overwhelm in business will feel more focused as you're setting your intentions for the day and remembering that you’ve got this. Today I’m going to share a few ways you can start practicing affirmations to ditch the overwhelm and embrace the BOSS you are!

Find What Works For You

Find When Works For You

Make Them Easy To Do

It’s February, the month of love. And whether you love or hate valentines day, this month we are going to be talking about all kinds of self love on this show. I wanted to kick this off with a solo episode spilling my guts about the one thing I think you can do to show yourself love. It’s not what you think… no bubble baths, meditation, or nail appointments. I’m talking about something that feels a little bit more scary to many of us. I’m talking about being vulnerable. My mission is to mentor and support women as they grow their business as mothers, and being vulnerable is one of the things I talk about the most! It is a key skill to have to grow the business and life of your dreams.

Key Points In This Episode:

What it means to be vulnerable

Getting comfortable being uncomfortable

The vulnerability that comes with motherhood and how to hold onto it

Ditching societal standards and accepting who you are

Being vulnerable in a professional setting 

Checking your ego and admitting when you're wrong

Becoming a better person, partner, friend, by being vulnerable
