Self Made Stories

Let's face it: building a business can be SUPER stressful. You don't have any security, you hear 'no' or crickets a lot, you stress about money, and you often have poor to non-existent boundaries between your personal and work life.

Plus, did I mention it can be lonely? Welcome to entrepreneurship!

In this episode, extra special for my business bosses, I'll share all my tips how to reduce stress and prevent burnout.

October 27th was National Mentor Day. It was very heart-warming to read so many great mentor stories. But how does one actually find a mentor?

This week I shared a list of my book mentors and the top 5 lessons they taught me: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/5-life-lessons-i-learned-from-my-amazing-diverse-krista/ Finding a mentor is a question I often get. In this live stream, I give my best advice about how to find a mentor as well as how to be one.

If tomorrow I lost everything and needed to start a new online business from the ground up, these are the exact steps I would take over a 4-week period. In this video, I'll give you a week-by-week breakdown of everything you would do to build and launch your business in 30 days.

Have you ever wondered why some people fail while others keep adding to a list of accomplishments? It starts with setting goals. I read in one study that only 10% of adult American career professionals set goals during the year and work towards them. That needs to change. Let's talk about goal setting.

Are you a coach, content creator, consultant, freelancer, or service-based business owner? Then this topic may interest you: pricing.

We all have different reactions about prices due to our class level, spending budgets, and earnings.

People will pay nearly anything to get something they really want. Just look at the fashion industry. Where is the "value"? It is all in the perception of what something is worth. There is a market for everyone.

So the secret is to find your niche who really needs your services. Then price will never be an issue. If someone says they want it but doesn't buy, the two reasons are:

-It wasn't that valuable to them after all

-They are afraid to invest in themselves

Either way, a 'no' is good because you will realize they were not the right customer, and it can help you further define your messaging to scare away people who don't fit the profile.

In this episode, I'll talk about various price levels (2,3,4, and 5 figures) and what value one can expect for each level. Thanks for watching, and please consider subscribing to my podcast for more valuable tips about Money, Marketing, and Mindset.

Do you own your time? If you are average, probably not. Even if you become an entrepreneur, you must be careful not to continue to exchange your time for money. In fact, time management is a huge topic that is much more important than most people realize.

In today's episode, we will talk about how to build time in for your self-care and personal development but more importantly, how you can integrate your work into a life of freedom.

Build the life you want. Don't trade anything for your freedom.
