Scaling Up

The long awaited topic: leveraging LinkedIn to connect with the right people, grow your list, and increase your conversions. 

This is a topic you guys have asked for again and again, but to be very honest with you, LinkedIn is a platform that I have very little experience in as an entrepreneur. I used to use LinkedIn back in the day when I was in the corporate world, and it was basically just a resume for me. So we called in an expert for this one!

Andrea Jones joins us on the show today and she is masterful at utilizing LinkedIn for online businesses. We get into the nitty gritty of how to use LinkedIn to grow and scale your business. And don’t worry, she starts at ground zero!

Let’s talk about doing something new and uncomfortable. 

I’m not necessarily just talking about your business. So much of finding success entrepreneurship is about who you are becoming in the process.

I can do tough things. You can do tough things. We can do the things that we don’t want to do. We can even gain wisdom and confidence from doing these hard things. 

What is it in your world that you’ve been avoiding or hesitating on? Put yourself in the position to make it happen and allow yourself to be empowered to a whole new level.

Ever feel like you’re watching your peers land awesome media, get the speaking gigs, land the book deal, get to work with that great company, have opportunities that you dream of… while you’re over there grinding and waiting for your big break?

Why is it that some people seem to magnetize all of the golden opportunities while others seem to repel them?

Today I’m going to break down the 5 reasons why you’re not getting the opportunities you want and what to do to shift the pendulum in your favor.

No more feeling like it’s never going to happen for you… it’s your time. Let’s make it happen!

There are some things in life that just suck.

But sometimes these hard seasons are literally designed for us, at the perfect moment, and we often can’t see just how valuable these things are while we are going through them. And honestly, even in hindsight sometimes, we still just remember these moments as really tough.

But what if these seasons are a blessing to you in ways that you can’t see or ever know fully?

I kinda spilled the beans on social media the other day. 

I know I’ve been a little bit elusive about what’s coming down the pike for me, for us, for our company. There are both some legal and strategic reasons I can’t fully share everything yet. 

But today’s episode will give you a glimpse into what we’re building for in the future, and I hope it will help you in your own path to discern what is the best path for you and how to know how to build, create, and move forward in a way that is for the future version of you in your business. I don’t want you to stay stuck in the reactionary model of business like so many entrepreneurs.

Today’s episode is dedicated to where you’re going and helping you get there.

I see a major problem happening. We get to see what entrepreneurs are doing daily because of social media. But what you have to remember is, everyone gets to choose what they put forth. It could be true, it could be untrue, it could be cultivated behind the scenes to look a certain way when the reality is not like that. So this pep talk is just a reminder to not fall for this -- this being the assumption that other people are rocking their biz and you are trying to run with cinder block shoes.

People spend so much time making themselves appear a certain way that is not actually true. And then it gives us the misconception of where they’re really at, and then we compare ourselves to something that isn’t even reality.

Today we’re doing something a little bit different on the show!

We have a special guest, Chelsea Clarke, the owner of both Her Paper Route and Blog for Sale. She helps investors and content creators buy and sell niche online businesses and blogs.

We haven’t talked about this topic before on the show, but we do constantly talk about different ways to bring more revenue into your business. How can you do things to become your own investor so that you don’t have to go into debt and so that you have the money that you need to pour back into your business to continue to grow. Often you have to spend money to make money in business, and this is one way to make that money.

This might sound like something that is totally out of your wheelhouse - you might not be a blogger or even interested in flipping websites, but trust me: you want to hear this episode! There are some amazing income opportunities down this path, so this may be a route you want to consider.

Let’s get to the show!

A couple of weeks ago, my husband, Michael, was away. I wanted to get a workout in, so I dragged all three kids downstairs to “do it with me.”

I was following along with the program on the screen, when my son all of a sudden was like, “Mom, wait! Stop! You can’t start the next move yet!” And I asked him why, and he said, “You didn’t finish the last one!” I tried to argue with him and tell him that I did finish it, and he replied, “No, he said you had to do the move 12 times, and you only did it 10 times!”

And to be honest, at first I was annoyed and wishing that I just had a moment alone to do this workout. And then I remembered: I want to be the kind of person who does the extra rep, not the kind of person who short changes herself because things are getting tough.

Ultimately, I was so proud of my son for calling me out because we want to raise children that work hard and go above and beyond. 

This was such a stark reminder to me that our kids are always watching. They pay attention to everything we do, and every little thing is affecting them. We are literally forming our children’s reality and beliefs, long into adulthood.

So start to become more aware of the job you signed up for. Your kids are watching you. It’s exhausting and it’s tough and it wears on you, but it’s the role you signed up for.

I might ruffle a few feathers with this pep talk, but I’m okay with that.

Now, I’m all for celebrating your wins and looking back at how far you’ve come.

This month is Women’s History Month, a month where we look back on our history and celebrate how far we, as women, have come.

But the truth is, I don’t think we need a special day or month to validate how capable we truly are.   

There are places in the world, today, where women are still seen as, and treated as, property. Not human beings, property.

We are so flooded with opportunity in our country. Some of us more than others, for sure! And that has to do with our daily circumstances. But as a whole, in America, we have so much opportunity, every day.

But I never want you to feel like you need to first be validated in order to pursue your calling. If it feels unfair, like you’ll have to work harder to succeed just because you’re a woman, than sister, I hope you choose to work harder.

A lot of people spend time complaining about the cards they were dealt, rather than figuring out the best strategy to play them.
