Silent Strength with Invisible Warriors

"Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much." --Helen Keller

No matter what industry you are in, there comes a time when a solopreneur needs to have some help. There are things they can’t do, don’t know how to do, or just don’t want to do. Business is growing and it is too much for one person to handle. This may be the beginning of a growth in the company, or a one-time thing where the owner needs just a bit of help. Regardless of which, it is always nice to have the ability to reach out and find someone to build your team around. 

Deidre Kindred has been involved in the medical profession for many years, and she believes wholeheartedly in the statement above. Whether that is help for someone with health issues and can’t leave the house by themselves, or whether it’s the running of the back end of the business, Deidre shares with us experiences she has had with both her own business and working as an employee. 

Communication, goals and organization are all very important aspects of finding the right members for the “Team” and you can find out more by listening in as Nancy chats with Deidre here.

You don’t have to do it all yourself – that’s the philosophy of Jaimie Skultety, owner of Upscale Your Business.

When you spend your time doing the work that you are meant to do, that you should focus your attention on, and then let other experts do what they do best in your behalf, that your business will grow and prosper. 

Listen in as Jaimie shares with us the things to do in order to get the best coverage for your business, in order to be hired by the best clients.

If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.- Warren Buffett

Lisa Johnson, today’s guest, starts our conversation by saying “I WANTED TO BE MORE, EXPERIENCE MORE, EARN MORE.” But she didn’t know how to do it. And that’s when her business was born. Her first company, a wedding planning business, led her to talk with others, find mentors, help to analyze what was going right and not so right in both her own and in colleagues’ businesses. That led to a pivot into coaching and before long she was making 6 figures regularly and her courses were selling out so quickly she couldn’t keep up.

In order for her to continue to grow she either had to clone herself or figure out ways to continue to earn money without more time or energy. And that’s when it hit her. I need to make passive income. Not an investment program with some financial institution, but by creating programs that allowed her to do the work once, and sell it repeatedly and automatically. Things like evergreen courses (you create the course, you put it into a program such as Teachable or Kajabi, and then sit back and watch the money roll in “in your sleep”. Periodically, you should upgrade it, change it up a bit and add more to it, but it’s really very simple.

Our conversation today has Lisa sharing her thoughts and ideas on what she has done and how she has made her business and her life so successful while finding the time to spend traveling the world with her children and family. Take a listen in and learn how to do this for yourself.

What is going to help you get more money, more clients, more success. That model means take 15 minutes to talk with clients, take 15 to create a client funnel, and take 15 minutes to set up your facebook posts, your marketing. When you spend time on busy work and not on the forward momentum of CLIENTS, then you are wasting time.

“Introverts live in two worlds: We visit the world of people, but solitude and the inner world will always be our home.” ― Jenn Granneman, The Secret Lives of Introverts: Inside Our Hidden World

What is an introvert and how do they handle being in business? According to the American Management Association 

Extroverts: Talk first; think later

Extroverts: Seek out other people

Extroverts: Tend to be “babbling brooks;” people often tune them out

Extroverts: Draw energy from other people

How does that figure in business? As a business owner, you need to be out there, telling your story, letting people know about what you do and why they need it. So, what does an introvert do? You can pick the parts of your story that you want the world to know. Find a persona that can become YOU when you are out and about. Let people see what you want them to see. This isn’t a lie, it’s only a chosen part of the whole.

Do you think you’re an introvert? Is this personality type of interest to you? Janice Chaka, today’s guest considers herself an introvert, AND a successful business owner. Want to know more? Listen here!

Keep it simple and focus on what matters. Don't let yourself be overwhelmed.

- Confucius

When we start a business we want to tell everyone what we do and let them know that they need to buy our product or service. It is exciting and we bounce around shouting it from the rooftop. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been hit up from someone I’ve never heard of telling me that I REALLY need to buy what they are selling. They don’t know me, they don’t know what I buy or if anything they are saying will be of interest to me. 

You need to make sure that what you are doing in your marketing, is converting to sales, according to today’s guest, Craig Severinsen. He tells us that by being authentic, by sharing with people who you are, what you care about and building relationships, that’s what’s going to grow your business. 

It is more important to be true and find clients through authenticity rather than letting the world know you exist. Find the offer that makes sense to a few people and you’ll sell your product/service to more and that saves time, money and effort. Listen in and learn how keeping it simple builds a bigger return.

"The successful networkers I know, the ones receiving tons of referrals and feeling truly happy about themselves, continually put the other person's needs ahead of their own." -- Bob Burg

Networking is an important part of running a business, but it is not a well understood method of growing relationships. It’s not just about getting coffee and having chats. It’s about bringing in money and building long-term connections between people.

Often, people go to networking events to hang out with friends, eat free food (and drinks) and get out of work early or just needing a break. Those are not really great reasons to get out there. But when you put a system in place like Jason Rosado and I talk about in this week’s show, then you can know full well that you will walk away with the knowledge that you have made someone else’s day valuable and that in the long run it will come back to you.
