  • dream big. [010]

    From one Network Marketing pro to another this is an amazing interview with a fellow biz owner and company founder. 

    If you aren't familiar with this term 'founder' it means this woman is charging the way for her company and leading a massive team since she raised her hand early, early on and said 'yes'. 

    Deena is a big ball of fun and has a personality that will catch your eye from all the way across a room. You know her message even before she speaks » Dream Big. 

    This episode is all about what happens when you dream big and say yes. The good, the bad, the not so glamorous and the things she would advise for those just starting out.

  • scheduling your priorities. [008]

    For most of the last year, I have been burying my nose into one of the beautiful Sol Planners. This thing has literally been a game changer for the way I rock my biz and personal life. I find that I am checking a lot more things off my to-do list as well as staying organized. 

    Sarah Light, the creator of Sol Planners, thought of everything a direct sales mom who juggles lots of different hats could want. Seriously. Everything. The pages are beautiful to look at, I have a spot to write all my to-dos, goals and ideas and it's all in one place. No more piles of notebooks with half stuck post-it notes or random loose papers. 

    In today's episode, we get to learn a little more about Sarah's story, why she created these beauties and what's in store for the 2nd edition.

  • where does your confidence come from? [007]

    This episode is not only a little bit different but also very special. 

     

    It all started with a simple text message from my pastor. Little did I know I would get the opportunity to share a message I think is so powerful that more and more women (and men) need to hear it. 

    In this week's episode, I am boldly talking all about confidence and where you find it. Even though I first shared this message in my church I knew it had to be shared here as well.

  • let's create your business plan. [004]

    A business plan might seem super 1999 but seriously, having a plan is one of the best things you can do for you AND your biz. Knowing what you want to do, where you want to go and the steps you need to take to get there seriously keeps you on track to hitting those goals you’ve set.

     

    Your Business Plan:

     

    Overview » what do you do, who are you and how you might introduce yourself to someone new

    Products + Services » what are you offering (write down all.the.things), what are you charging

    Sales + Marketing Plan » how are you going to tell people about what you do? Where are you going to network online and offline? What are you prices?

    Market Analysis » what are the trends of the industry you are in? do some research. Who is your ideal client

    Competitive Analysis » who are my competitors and what are they doing well? What differentiates you from them?

    Financial Plan » what’s your budget?

     

    Where am I hanging out?

  • what does the top 10% do? [003]

    Today's chat is all about unveiling the secrets to small business success – and trust me, these are the strategies that thriving business owners swear by day in and day out. And when I say "consistently," I mean it's the name of the game. Drawing from over a decade-long journey as a small business owner myself, I'm spilling the beans on some golden nuggets that I've picked up along the way. So, get ready to soak in the wisdom and make it your own.

    Remember what Tony Robbins says, "Success leaves clues," and we're diving headfirst into those clues in this episode. Before we dive in, have you checked out that eye-opening Netflix video, "I Am Not Your Guru"? It's a game-changer.

    Now, let's break it down to the essentials – three game-changing actions that consistently successful people embrace:

    First off, we've got planning. And just to drive it home – planning! It's the cornerstone that lays the foundation for your triumphs.

    Next, these business "gurus" know their WHY – the burning purpose that fuels their journey and keeps them laser-focused on their goals.

    And here's the kicker: education. They never stop learning, adapting, and expanding their horizons. It's like adding rocket fuel to their success trajectory.

    Speaking of success, let's throw some illuminating stats your way:

    Did you know that 50% of small businesses thrive for a remarkable 5 years or more? And brace yourself – about one-third of these keep thriving beyond the 10-year mark.

    Ever wondered about the self-employed army? Well, a staggering 10% of the US workforce is in the self-employed squad, carving their path in the biz world.

    By the way, have you checked out Sol Planners? They're game-changers for planning your success – Sol Planners.

    Here's a thought-provoking read for you: "Mark of an Eagle" by David McNally. It's available on Amazon, and it's a game-changing gem.

  • you are not alone. [002]

    Hey there, fellow small biz owners! Let's get real and dive into a topic that hits close to home for many of us solopreneurs. It's no secret that the journey of a solopreneur can sometimes feel like a one-person island. But guess what? You're not alone on this island – not by a long shot.

    Now, I've got a little secret to share with you. One of my absolute favorite hangout spots is within the vibrant realm of Facebook groups. Imagine this: a space where you can link arms with fellow business owners, soak up wisdom from incredible mentors and leaders, and feel the camaraderie that comes from being part of a dynamic community. And guess what? This is the very reason I birthed the group known as The Ten Percent. It's a hub designed to obliterate the notion that we're sailing solo in the vast sea of small business.

    Here are some enlightening stats that I just had to drop:

    Did you know that a whopping 10% of the US workforce are living the entrepreneurial dream?

    And get this – a staggering 52% of small businesses have set up shop right at home base.

    Ladies, this one's for you – a mind-blowing 11.3 million businesses in the US are proudly women-owned.

    And breaking those glass ceilings, 38% of businesses in the US have fearless females at the helm.

    Ready for some interactive awesomeness? Swing by and join me, along with an incredible tribe of rockstar business owners, in The Ten Percent group. Let's shatter the isolation myth and create a community that uplifts, supports, and propels us forward in our small business journey.

Hi, my name is tena and I talk... a lot. So I figured I may as well put these vocal chords to good use. This isn't my first podcast but it just might be my last. See, my passions are probably not…
