She Did It Her Way

Hi friends! 

Another solocast today and I'm so excited to share these 10 things. I've rounded up some of the things I believe no one tells you about entrepreneurship plus I reached out to other female entrepreneurs in my network as well. 

I hope you're finding these solocasts helpful! Thank you to everyone for the positive feedback as well. You have no idea how much I appreciate y'all for tuning in each week too. :)

Real quick, real talk. Went to Hamilton the musical Tuesday night this week. Absolutely amazing. Officially on the Hamilton train - woot woot!

Okay, now back to regular programming ;)

Officially on the Hamilton train - woot woot! Okay, now back to regular programming ;) Here are the 10 things no one tells you about entrepreneurship: You eat what you kill. You've heard me say this before but a friend of mine took it a step further. You only get what you ask for. It can be insanely lonely. You're constantly in experimenting. You watch your bank account like a hawk You must get out of your own way. Be patient. Make money is a good thing. You get really good at solving problems. You will be emotionally tested. Don't forget to tune in Monday for Cordova's journey, part 2. Also, we are having a LIVE Q&A at 7pmCST with Cordova on Monday, February 13th on the She Did It Her Way Facebook page. If you can't make it, don't worry, we're going to make an episode out of it! As always, thank you guys for tuning in! With gratitude, Amanda Text

Hi friends! Amanda here with another solocast. In today's episode I walk you through the goals we set for January and share with you ones that we made, didn't make and some reasons why, along with internal reflection of being a business owner and tools for productivity. Here is a list of categories for goals I set: Income Her Way Challenge Email List She Did It Her Way Email List Listenership Instagram Operations Marketing I use Megan Minns Goal Planning worksheets - I had to tweak them a bit to fit my needs but super easy to use and extremely helpful. Plus, they're only $9! Tune in to hear more of the breakdown and actual goals set! February focuses: Conducting a marketing audit from email list to our brand Onboard interns Increase listenership by 50% How I get into alignment in the morning: Use a self made tracker with a short list of things that give me energy like meditate, water, journaling (5 Minute Journal), limited to no eating of carbs or any alcohol consumption. Every time I complete a task I get to cross it off as accomplished. Then at the end of the month I can use that information and compare it to my productivity and patterns. Tim Ferriss - Tools of Titans - perfect bite sized information to prime my mind for the day Tools for Productivity: Facebook Newsfeed Eradicator for Google Chrome Turn phone onto airplane mode for more concentrated time Listen to a song on repeat Inbox Pause for Gmail Schedule out my days using time blocks Headspace for meditation That is it my friends!
