How to manage your money as an entrepreneur is one of the most common questions I get. As a business owner, your money management will make or break your business.

That's why it's shocking to see how most people bury their heads in the sand and ignore the details of their money, willy nilly making decisions without a plan. That is a highly stressful way to live and work. You can't make any good or clear decisions when you're anxious, fearful, and scattered.

If this sounds like you, don't worry--there's no shame here, and we're sharing with you our top tips on how to manage your money in both your business and your life.

You need to BOTH know your numbers and shift your mindset.

If you spend time with your money every day for just a few minutes, your entire relationship to money will change. When you transition from impulsive and stressful spending into feeling more at peace and secure with your financial picture--that is gold!

The goal is to put you in the driver's seat so you can feel empowered. You CAN do this!

You need to believe that you ARE worthy of money, of success, of prosperity, and that you have the skills, the story, and the expertise you need to create wealth.

When you couple your money mindset with learning money skills, you will be unstoppable!

Our money expert today is Shannah Compton Game, CFP®, MBA, the leading expert for millennials on money. She is the host of the popular iTunes podcast, Millennial Money, where over 500,000 listeners from around the world join her twice a week to tackle their finances.

Are you hustling your butt off to market your product, service, membership, or online course?

​Let me tell you a little secret: there's an easier way!​​

I’m all about working smarter, not harder, and the marketing strategy we’re talking about today fits in perfectly with this philosophy.

We’re deep-diving into how to utilize partnerships and affiliates to grow your business. It’s a “quadruple win” because it’s:

• a win for you (more sales and impact--without ever paying for traffic),
• a win for your team (it’s fun and takes some of the marketing pressure off),
• a win for your partners (they get to make money without having to deliver the product or service, all while helping their audience meet a need), and finally
• a win for the students or buyers (who discover something that helps them solve a problem or reach their goals).

In my last Six-Figure Blog Academy launch in January 2020, 54% of sales came from affiliates! That's more than HALF! Partnerships generated over $50,000 in sales for my business in a two-week time period.

On my wellness blog Root + Revel, we earned $86,285.10 in 2019 JUST from affiliate marketing alone!

Convinced yet?

If you have a course, product, or service and have been considering partnerships to make more money and get more sales, I HIGHLY recommend you take a listen!

Laura Sprinkle is an affiliate launch strategist for online course creators and coaches who are ready to take their product launches to the next level with the help of affiliate partners.

Through her affiliate concierge service, she offers bespoke affiliate solutions and has worked with clients such as Amy Porterfield, Selena Soo, and Todd Herman on some of the biggest and most successful launches in the online marketing world. 

 

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why partnerships are a win-win for both you and your partners
• The 4 Rings of Recruitment and how to find partners to promote your stuff
• The 4 Phases of Affiliate Programs and how to get your affiliates to actually care and share about your program
• How to run your evergreen program like a live launch to build excitement with your partners
• How to know what partners are a good fit for you and your brand

Does thinking about Instagram metrics, the algorithm, and strategies make you feel confused and crazy?!

Instagram (like all social media platforms) is constantly changing. So what's working TODAY on Instagram?

In today’s episode, we're talking about how to nurture your current followers (and how that is so much more important than chasing new followers), as well as the journey you need to take your followers on from the time they first engage with you to, eventually, trust you and buy from you.

My guest expert today is Manu Muraro, the founder of Your Social Team, who helps brands and entrepreneurs use Instagram to connect with more people and get more customers and clients. She brings to the Instagram world 20 years of experience in creative, marketing, and strategy, working full time for brands such as the Cartoon Network and King of Pops.

With Your Social Team, Manu has taught over 100 classes and workshops, created several online trainings and started a membership (that she swears is the best thing since sliced bread!).

 

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why engagement is so much more important than followers
• The 7-step journey to turn a cold scroller into a follower, engager, and buyer
• How to optimize the structure of your post captions
• Which Instagram metrics matter the most (hint: it’s not likes, reach or impressions!)
• How to create the ultimate "Superpost"
• How to analyze your IG insights, diversify your content, and see patterns of what works for your audience

Consciously making mindset shifts is the only way you'll bust through your upper limits and become the entrepreneur you've always dreamed about.

In today's episode, we're debunking common myths and limiting beliefs when it comes to blogging (or any online business) and how to actually make those important mindset shifts so you can rewrite what's possible for yourself and actually create sustainable change.

Don't believe everything you think. Most of what we think are just BELIEFS, NOT TRUTHS.

Our minds have a tape player inside them, repeating the same thoughts again and again, day in and day out. 

Would you believe that, according to the National Science Foundation, the average person has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts PER DAY, and of those thousands of thoughts, 80% are negative and 95% are exactly the same repetitive thoughts as the day before!? 

Another interesting study from Cornell University found that 85% of what we worry about never happens. With the 15% of the worries that did happen, 79% of the subjects discovered that either they could handle the difficulty better than expected, or that the difficulty taught them a lesson worth learning.

These studies make it pretty clear that if you (like most people) are doing the same things every day, thinking the same thoughts, and talking to the same people–your life is likely going to look and feel pretty much the same day-to-day (and unfortunately, a lot of it is negative).

The good news? You already have everything you need to be successful.

 

Wayne Dyer said, "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

With the mindset shifts and limiting beliefs we're addressing in today's show, I know that you'll be able to get out of your own way and make the changes necessary to step into your dreams and kick your old beliefs to the curb.

Are you ready to start creating your new reality?

 

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• The #1 thing that holds us back from going for our dreams
• What limiting beliefs are, how to spot them, and--most importantly--how to change them into empowered truths!
• Why saying, “I’m just so busy all the time!” stunts your growth, and the mindset shift you need to make if you want to create more time in your day
• What to do when you want something but can't afford it
• Why you shouldn't wait until you're 'ready' to take action

Your money mindset is the most important thing when it comes to creating more wealth and building a sustainable business. 

If you find yourself getting overwhelmed when you think about finances, or ignoring your money situation hoping it will go away or resolve itself, or if you carry shame around your money management, spending habits, or history with money–then you’re never going to create a stable, lasting business.

When you learn how to celebrate money and work with it in a way that feels the most natural to you (NOT what some random expert tells you to do), then everything shifts and your abundance can flow.

One incredibly useful framework to help you understand your motives, patterns, and how to step into a healthier version of yourself is using the sacred money archetypes. These eight archetypes show us how we filter and make our money decisions, revealing where we’re in alignment and where we’re in conflict with ourselves.

Understanding these sacred money archetypes has been one of the biggest game-changers in my business, my mental health, and just understanding myself and my business better. I can’t wait to share them with you today!

My guest today, Kelly Marshall, works with heart-centered female entrepreneurs who find the financial part of their business completely overwhelming. She provides them with the tools they need to take charge of their finances, ease their money worries, grow healthy and profitable conscious businesses and—ultimately—gain the freedom to focus on what they truly love.

Working with Kelly over the past year has totally transformed my business, my reporting, my tracking, my projections, my understanding of my finances, and–most importantly–my money mindset! I can’t wait to share her wisdom with you today.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why your money mindset and identity is the #1 focus when it comes to making more money and reaching “success”
• How to replace limiting beliefs and mindset blocks with empowering mantras
• How to heal and release shame around money
• How to charge what you’re worth in your business
• An overview of the sacred money archetypes and how knowing yourself in this way can help you work in alignment

Today we’re diving into understanding how your nervous system works and the importance of getting chiropractic care to alleviate stress. But how does this relate to entrepreneurship, you’re probably wondering?

So many common day-to-day occurrences cause stress: Sitting at a desk for hours. Mental pressure. Financial strain. A fight with a loved one or disagreement with someone on your team. A tech glitch. Toxins and pollutants from food, beauty products, and our environments. 

Literally thousands of things can cause a fight, flight, or freeze response in our bodies, which is a stressed state. This causes interference in our nervous system where the body becomes more and more challenged to do its job.

By getting chiropractic support for your body, you’re removing interference and helping your body adapt to stress and function more optimally–which will help you in all aspects of your life and business.

My guest on the podcast today is Dr. Krysti Wick, who has spent the past 12 years building a thriving family chiropractic practice in Wisconsin. As her practice grew over 500% in the past six years, so did Krysti’s desire to share her story and strategies through speaking and mentoring. 

Dr. Krysti has coached hundreds of chiropractors from multiple countries and now her most recent venture, The Illuminated Squad, allows her to assist female DCs in amplifying their strengths and implementing the action steps necessary to build the practice of their dreams.

 

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How chiropractic works and how improving your body’s ability to adapt to stress will make you a better leader, entrepreneur, and human
• The 3 types of stress our bodies experience and how you can minimize each
• The pros of cons of a brick and mortar business vs. online
• Should you hire the expert or train someone yourself?

What’s the secret to manifesting your dreams?

Here’s a clue: it almost never happens in the ways we think it will. Contrary to what we think, we actually get in our own way when we get attached to ‘how’ it’s going to happen.

The answer? We need to get rid of the hows and just commit to where we want to go. But balancing surrender with intentional action is no easy task, so we’re breaking it down to help get you closer to your dreams and goals, both in business and in life!

My guest today is Danika Brysha, the founder and CEO of Model Meals (a healthy meal delivery business), a self-care coach, the creator of The Brunch Series wellness events and 2018 US tour, and an IMG Curve Model.

All of her businesses are Danika’s way of giving back after her own personal transformation. For most of her life Danika suffered with an eating disorder that led her to some extremely dark places of self-hatred and destructive habits. After hitting the bottom mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially, Danika healed through a variety of tools, which she now shares with thousands of women all over the country. 

Her work will only continue to help empower more and more women know that they, too, can live a life of their dreams!

  What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why it’s actually selfish NOT to practice self-care!
• Danika’s self-care checklist and how to use microtasks and teeny everyday habits that support your identity (rather than focusing on results and feeling guilt and shame for not achieving or doing)
• How to know when your spiritual connection and intuition is blocked, and what to do to change your inner dialogue and manifest the career and life of your dreams
• How to give yourself permission to truly follow what feels good
• The importance of profit vs. revenue and paying yourself

What if you could embrace your innateness…and stop doing stuff you suck at? The Myers-Briggs personality type assessment is the most popular personality test in the world. But what does it have to do with business?

What if you knew how to focus, how to hire, how to plan, and how to operate in the day-to-day of your business based on your strengths, and surrounded yourself with people who have amazingly valuable–but very different–strengths than you?

We all have strengths and very specific things we’re great at. Likewise, we all have things that we are NOT innately good at. What if you stopped trying to be well rounded and started solely working in your zone of genius?

In this episode, Meyers-Briggs expert Jessica Butts has come up with a revolutionary new approach to get the most out of the Myers-Briggs personality assessment. Jessica is CEO and Founder of Front Seat Life where she helps inspire, motivate, and educate people to live their life from the ‘front seat’ using their innate abilities. 

As you’re about to find out, the Myers-Briggs is FAR more than just a personality test!

  What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How to embrace your innateness, stop doing things you suck at, and let go of being well rounded
• The differences between I and E, N and S, F and T, J and P on the Myers-Briggs assessment
• How Myers-Briggs can save marriages (and all relationships) and how to handle being married to your opposite
• The importance of both masculine and feminine energy in business
• What personality type is best suited for entrepreneurship, blogging, and owning your own business
• How Myers-Briggs can help entrepreneurs bring more ease into their businesses, increase productivity and hire the right people
