When I started an online business, I was trying to figure out how to make everything look perfect. I really focused on the tools, like the website and things that were innate or inanimate. But then I realized marketing was the key.

In today's episode, we're going to be talking about how to make a shift today from being the person that is building a business to actually attracting business. Below we share some of the episode’s highlights and tips to market your online business:

1. Attract your ideal client. Why do I want to attract them? Because I want to change their life. So we want to get into attracting to ourselves our tribe - our ideal client.
2. Know our truth. We're going to start to market. In the other video called Your Brand Voice, I talk about brand pillars and how to identify those pillars….and how you can start telling your brand story.
3. Show up to social media. You want to make sure you're putting in your schedule each and every week to create content and post on your social media. Make sure that you're on brand with your social media.

So whether you're a network marketer, coach, consultant, or you have your own business, this is your time to shift from trying to show the world how amazing you are to creating solutions for your ideal client.

Failure is a part of success. You don't get to succeed without having failures in between.

In today's episode, we're going to be talking about a topic that is a little bit touchy. We're going to talk about failing forward. I want to make sure you understand that failure is part of the process and how to pick yourself back up when you feel like you just can't do it anymore.

Many of you have had businesses that have failed, especially in the economy that we're in right now. You've had partnerships that have failed, marriages that have failed, kids that won't talk to you. Don't worry, you're not alone. We all go through these things. Well, if you can get back up one more time, your legs will get stronger. Your body will get stronger. Your mindset will get stronger. And the stronger you get, the faster you go.

Here are some of the episode’s highlights:

At She's Creating An Empire™, we believe in you. We believe that just because you've made mistakes in the past, does not mean it equals your future. We actually believe in no judgement.

You can wipe your slate clean as long as you're not doing the things that continually lead to hurting other people or hurting yourself. Then you can start to rebuild the faith that you have lost in yourself.

You can forgive yourself. You can release yourself; bless yourself. You don't need other people's forgiveness. Maybe they're going to hold a grudge for the rest of their lives. That does not need to keep you in prison. You can release yourself through forgiveness.

Read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. There's an entire chapter on persistence and it talks about how it feels like as you're trying to climb your mound, there's an invisible force or a guide whose job is it to hold you down. And when you persist and persist and persist, finally you're going to break through.

Get a coach. Get in our community. Join our free community. We have over 5,000 women that are there cheering each other on, learning to build businesses, create multiple streams of income, and pay off their debt.

We believe in you. So put your failure away today. I want you to dust off your knees. Right? I want you to get back up off the mat and I want you to take one step forward. So coming out of this episode, what's one thing you can do today?

Forgive yourself, release yourself, bless yourself, and choose to try again. There is no failure so long as you don't quit. So get back up on your feet.

Have you been taking the actions that you think are necessary but then ending up stuck on repeat over and over and over again?

So the reality is that your internal, spiritual game is actually going to determine your results and a lot of people find themselves stuck. Ask yourself this question:

Have you been taking the actions that you think are necessary but ending up stuck on repeat over and over and over again?

And maybe you've been doing the right things or you seem like you're doing the right things. Meaning, your coach, your mentor says - do this - and you do it, but ultimately you're not getting the results that you expect or you know what to do in your head. Then it’s time to take the appropriate actions.

In today's episode, we're going to be talking about belief, commitment, and consistency from an internal perspective and how to break through that place in you that's resisting your own success. So I'm going to ask you guys a couple of questions:

• Do you feel like you could be getting better results now than you are currently getting and you're not sure why that is?
• Do you know what to do to break through those barriers?
• Are you aware that you're a spiritual being on an earthly journey?
• Are you taking full responsibility as the co-creator of your life?

If you want to become the CEO of your life, you want to become the CEO of your business, you want to become a manifesting boss. You want to release all that past trauma and move into being a divine being who is like literally creating whatever you want.

We have to maintain a positive mental attitude because what we think about comes about, right? The frequency that we're on, what we're thinking and feeling about…that's what we attract into our lives.

In today's episode, we're going to be talking about the steps you need to take to create a winning mindset so that you can actually explode your results and win big.

You see, 95% of the population controls 5% of the money. The reason 95% of the people control 5% of the money is because their mindset is stuck in a rut. They have been taught to go to school, get a good education, and get a good job. And although that's one way to live, it is not the way to create financial freedom.

Episode’s Highlights:

• First you have to give yourself permission. Don't wait for permission from other people because you're never going to get it.
• Keep a positive mental attitude. A positive mental attitude is going to move you forward faster than anything else that you can do.
• The growth mindset. The environment that you're in is absolutely everything. You can control what you're reading, what you're doing, what you're putting in. Turn off the news. Turn off the negative radio. Turn off those negative books and the negative movies. Instead, put into your mind things like You Were Born Rich by Bob Proctor.
• Financial freedom is a journey, not a destination. Lack in our mind determines the lack on the outside.
• That's what we're talking about here today. I had to close my mind tightly to anybody who would come against my dream. And that is not easy, right?
• But that's why we've got to be putting the books and the tapes in, getting a coach, getting into a community so that we have people around us so that we're not hearing the negative voices.
• We drown them out with positivity. We stay in that positive mental attitude. And when you do that, I promise you your whole life will change.

When you want to be able to create social media branding, you want these things to be in line with who you are and what you believe.

In today's episode, I'm really excited because we're going to be talking about your brand voice. We're talking about social media matters. How do you create a social image that's in line with the authentic you? One that allows for you to show up in a way that you feel really good about so you can reach your social media BFF and actually create a long-term relationship with your tribe.

Here are some of the episodes highlights:

• Make sure you are really targeting your brand at the pillars that matter to you. So the best way for me to say this is, what is your truth?
• Start to identify your brand pillars, and I would recommend to start picking five.
• Now, once you have those five pillars, go ahead under each pillar and write down two or three topics that you can talk about on that subject.
• Building a personal brand in this area of business is not negotiable. You do not have a choice. If you want to be in business for yourself or if you're in real estate or you're in, you know, sales of any kind, it doesn't matter anyway. You have to have a personal brand.

When people go to your profile, they need to know who you are, who you serve, what it looks like. They need to see consistency. They need to be able to hear your brand voice, not only in the images, but in the content and the posting.

So just keep in mind that as you move forward, part of your personal development and business development plan needs to be creating a personal brand and getting clear on your brand voice. We are so excited to be able to deliver content to you that helps you move your business forward and your brand forward each day.

You have value to add to the world. It's important to me, and it should be important to you, that you're able to share that value with others.

Do you know who you are as a brand? Maybe you do, but have trouble communicating that to others through the content that you create? Or are you just creating content for content’s sake, but not sure if it’s actually helping to serve your business?

Today’s podcast is for you! My special guest is Melanie Deziel. She is a keynote speaker author, award winning branded content creator and a lifelong storyteller. Melanie is the author of the best selling marketing and business communication book, The Content Fuel Framework:  How To Generate Unlimited Story Ideas, and the founder of StoryFuel. 

She’s an expert at helping people figure out how to make their content, represent who they are, share things really aligned with their business values. In this episode, she shares one area of her framework on which you can focus today…and it works for every kind of business.

Episode highlights:

• Oftentimes you become an entrepreneur because you love a particular industry or product or you know the service that you offer. Not necessarily because you like talking about that product or service.
• What is it that I should share to help other people understand who we are? I know my brand values, but you can't just post your price list every day and sit and wait for folks to come to me. So how do I create content that's going to align with those values and attract the right audience and hopefully help them stick around?
• I think anyone who tells you they didn't experience any kind of imposter syndrome is lying to you or is not challenging themselves enough.
• How Melanie and her husband are helping independent business owners with financial challenges in a unique way.

If you’re struggling with your content and relaying your message to your audience, I encourage you to spend a little time with us and take some great notes.

In today's episode, we are going to talk about how to take a quantum leap? If you've been stuck or you simply want to accelerate your results? How do you create a financial freedom revolution or movement? And how do you go from where you are now to where you want to be?

Maybe you're like me and you have that desire as well. You want to change your life. You want to move forward. You want to start creating a life of your dreams. Well, here is literally how I did it, and I hope that you'll find a few tips that you can take away for how you can do it, too.

Episode's highlights:

• I took a look at my life and I decided that if I was going to do something different, I had to do something different. So I shut off my TV, I turned off the radio, I put on personal development. I cleared 15 hours out of my schedule. I decided that I was going to focus on my business with enthusiasm, joy, and I fell in love with the process.
• So you guys understand that your quantum leap is going to require your energy and your focus, and so you need to get your life straight now. That's actually why I ended up building the She's Creating an Empire Success Planner and time management system. 
• The other thing that you can do to create a quantum leap is actually start to utilise business builder statements or as I like to say, boss statements.
• So if there's anything that I can encourage you on, don't get stuck in the doubt. Don't get stuck in fear. Don't get stuck in not being able to create results.
• When you take massive immediate action towards your goal, your goal will move towards you. So I just encourage you to dream bigger, faster. Don't think that money doesn't.

You just have to decide that you're going to take the leap. You have to not wait for the bridge to appear. You've got to jump because you can't wait to see the whole staircase. You've got to take that first step. That's when the rest of the staircase is revealed. And remember, quantum leaps means that there is no particular time. You don't have to wait ten years to become a millionaire.

Energy is not created or destroyed. So when you act, think and talk a certain way, that brings about more energy of the same kind. So if you want to raise your vibration, careful with your words, decide you're going to talk about quantum leaps. You're going to walk about quantum leaps, and pretty soon you're going to have a quantum leap.

In today's episode, we're going to be talking about the 5 Secrets you need to know about money.

Did you know, we make the same average of the five people that we hang out with? So if you think about the five people, your closest five people take what they make, divided by five. That's most likely close to what you make. And that's because money is energy. So when we want to create a higher income, when we want to step out and gain more money, well, then we have to raise our vibration so that we're literally getting into a new mindset or a new flow.

After these secrets I hope that you'll start to adjust your mindset, what you think is possible for you. Keep in mind that you really can be doing anything you set your mind to. Here are the five secrets about money you should know and put in place ASAP:

1. You're going to want to make sure that you're actively creating a money mindset. You're actively getting an education when it comes to finances.
2. Seek out coaches that can help you or courses or programs. Of course, you guys will find some links below. If that's something that you want to do, go ahead and dove in. We've got our financial fitness academy. We've got coaches that can help you do just that.
3. Become aware of what's possible for you.
4. Really get clear on what it is that you want.
5. Get around opulence. That was another secret. Get around something that's more than what you have right now that's going to expand your mind. And once you expand your mind, it will not go back.

It really is just at your fingertips. When we become aware of what's possible, then we can put a plan in place to create what's possible. But we have to become available to what's possible first. So I hope that makes sense to you.

“My purpose is whatever I'm doing today because as long as I'm learning to love myself and love others and to me it's more of an inner journey than a journey because who you are determines what your outcomes are going to be.”

Joan Sotkin is a Money and Mindset Mentor who presents a holistic approach to business building.  Joan is THE expert when it comes to understanding how emotional habits developed in early childhood affect a person's business and financial outcomes. Thousands  have benefited from her groundbreaking book Build Your Money Muscles: Nine Simple Exercises for Improving Your Relationship with Money, her podcast, The Prosperity Show, her online courses and the unique guidance she offers her clients. 

In this episode, Joan shares:

• “And so who do you want to be? And if the world isn't telling you what you want to hear, sit down and listen and see what comes from inside of you as to who because you're not going to be at age 50, who you are at age 40. And each decade is different. And as I said to you in the green room that it takes till you're 50 just to find out what you're not.
• “Pay attention to that place inside, that's uncomfortable because it's telling you what to do next and there's so much advice now that's part of the problem because it's hard to know who to listen to.
• “Money is like people. It goes to people who take care of it. And the thing that money loves best is to be counted.
• “It's about you and your relationship with yourself. So what matters more than anything else is  taking care of yourself so that you're treating yourself like a person you love.
• “Your habits are nothing more than these neural pathways in your brain. When you do something new and you want to make that a habit, you have to build up this new neural pathway in your brain. So when you go to change a habit, whether it's internal or external, it gets uncomfortable because you're going to be disorientated. And you have to understand that it takes about three months to get through the moving stupids.”
• “If you're yearning for money, if you are longing for money, then longing is your habit and you'll never be satisfied."
• “I measure my life not by my money, but how much peace of mind I have and how much love I have to offer and how much love is coming to me from other people and I had to learn how to feel loved and how to to understand this thing called love living on my own.”
