  • Business BLAB- How To Do Market Research
    We talk so much about knowing your audience, pinpointing your ICA, and being the go-to girl for your clients and their needs. But, there is a way to get a head start on knowing exactly what they need, and getting ahead by providing a solution before they even ask… it’s not magic… it’s Market Research!
    Regular market research is going to help you stand out as the expert, and become/stay very relevant to your ICA’s needs. They might feel like you’re a mind-reader, but we know you’re just a smart and savvy boss lady out there doing the most!
    So, how do you make sure you’re doing enough, and the right, research? Follow these tips to get started!
    🗣 Don’t be afraid to ask!
    If you don’t ask, you’ll never know! Have an idea but not sure it will land? Need to make sure a price point sounds right for your demographic? Have a lot of ideas, but not sure where to start or what will bring the most value? Just. Ask.
    🗣 Make sure you’re asking the right people!
    Market research is pointless if it isn’t directly pulled from YOUR market.
    🗣 Put yourself out there!
    Your audience might not know what questions they have until they have the opportunity to ask them.
    🗣 Always be searching!
    Market research doesn’t have to just be a formal Q&A or poll.
    🗣 Be open to evolving!
    You may find that your ICA’s needs evolve over time, which is why keeping up to date on your market research is crucial...but so is the willingness to evolve with them.
    Listen, grow, and step into being the expert! Your clients will thank you for meeting their needs and truly listening, and your business will continue to flourish!

  • Business BLAB - How to Discover Your Zone of Genius
    Have you realized that you’re a genius? Really… you are THE EXPERT in something special, and people are waiting to learn from you… whether you have tapped into it yet or not!
    There is something really special that happens when you discover your zone of genius, cut through the crap, and start doing what you actually enjoy doing...and what you’re the best at!
    Whether you’re drowning in your business with feelings of the need to do it all, or just haven’t found your thang yet, it’s time to discover your zone of genius and get to work!
    📝 Grab a pen and paper and list out all of the pieces that go into your business. Really break down each task and moving part that you’re doing on a daily. Choose what are you favorite and what you’re best at.

    📝 Now, take all of your favorite things from the two lists, and merge them into their own list. This is your gold mine, this is where you get to decide where your zone of genius lies, and what you enjoy doing the most.
    📝 Now that you’re clear on your zone of genius is and what lights you up, let’s talk about how you run with this! And what you do with all of the other tasks that aren’t in your zone of genius!
    ✨ Craft your schedule around focusing on what you’re best at!

  • Business BLAB - The Scoop on Clubhouse
    Have you heard the buzz about the new, invite-only, app everyone (with an iphone) is talking about? 👋
    We decided to break it down this week for those of you enjoying it, those who are having FOMO, or those who are just wondering what the heck Clubhouse is!
    So clubhouse is basically like a live/interactive podcast that cannot be recorded and is open to the world! When you get on the app there is a “hallway” of rooms happening that fit into your interests. People talk about all sorts of things from business to manifesting, social life, networking, and everything in between. There are a few things to remember as you’re exploring and connecting. Here are some Clubhouse tips that will help you get the most out of this hot new app 🙌
    👋 Get your bio right
    👋Mute your mic when you get on stage
    👋When starting a room of your own, give a few mins for people to see your room before you get discouraged and quit
    👋Host rooms with topics that will connect with your target audience to grow trust with future customers
    👋Join larger clubs and ask to host rooms under their club name
    👋Don’t question your value. Everyone speaking is an “expert”, but so are you!
    👋Show up to listen, don’t just wait for your turn to talk
    👋Go in with a connection mindset, not just for a sale
    👋Set some boundaries or you will get sucked in and overwhelmed

  • Busness BLAB - How to Optimize Your Instagram Bio
    You know what they say, first impression matter… and that isn’t any different for social media!
    When someone stops by your platform, you have a matter of literally seconds to impress them or convince them to keep scrolling! And, one of the biggest mistakes that we see people making is NOT optimizing their bio in a way that will make viewers want more! Optimizing your bio is your chance to speak directly to the person you can help, tell them why they need your help, how you can help them, and then direct them to sign up or purchase the thing you offer to help them!
    It can feel overwhelming, but you just have to go back to the basics!
    So, grab your phone and pull out the ol’ bio! Let’s dust off the cobwebs and make it sparkle!
    ✨So that first line… WHO YOU ARE (your name/title)- This is the name field on Instagram, and it is separate from your user name!
    ✨WHAT YOU DO- This is your chance to tell the people exactly who you help and HOW you do that!
    ✨WHO YOU SERVE- Just in case your ICA (ideal client avatar) was second guessing if what you do is for them, this is where you get to spell it out.
    ✨WHAT YOU OFFER- This is your call to action!
    ✨Now put it all together! If you have space, throw in some emojis to make it sparkle, and you’ve got yourself a fully optimized (client-attracting) Instagram bio!
    If you need help getting clear on any of these questions, determining your ICA, or figuring out how to use your voice to stand out, make sure you check out The Brand You Strategy! Enrollment is opening at the end of this week!

  • Business BLAB - How to Maximize Your Productivity
    We all know that girl on Instagram… she’s running an amazing business that is clearly her passion, her life seems perfect, and she’s raking in the dough! And, I’m sure we have all thought “if only I had more ____ I could be doing what she’s doing”, “she just got lucky”, or whatever other lies we tell ourselves to feel better. But, there is a lot that we don’t see her doing… that no one does. Running a successful business doesn’t come from luck (or Instagram followers). Behind every successful entrepreneur, there is a healthy and balanced regimen of habits that happen every day behind the scenes. If we don’t start changing the way we look at our business, and how we work on and in it, nothing will change! So, what are some simple things that you can start implementing today to take your business to the next level and increase productivity? ...We’re going to share our faves… in no specific order!
