The Bad B*tch Entrepreneur

I'm in Facebook jail. Again. Did you know social media platforms can restrict or delete accounts for any reason, which can result in the loss of all intellectual property and content at ANY time?

That's why having an email list is crucial to ensure a consistent and direct way of communicating with your audience. And if you're not constantly growing your list, you end up just making offers to the same people over and over again.

But it ain't just about racking up your audience numbers. It's about building relationships with those people, serving them at the highest levels, and building trust in your expertise.

In this episode I'm sharing how I'm growing my audience and the tools I've used to build trust and help more people so you can do the same (which, obviously grows your revenue too!)

Tune in today for…

• Why real connection is more important than follower numbers
• The crucial importance of giving massive value way ahead of time
• The difference customer education makes in your selling
• How to create a lead magnet that closely ties to your offer(s)
• Why mastering selling your free stuff helps you learn to sell your paid product

& so much more!

Only 12% of female entrepreneurs ever make over $100k in revenue per year. That's ridiculous!

One of the big reasons for that is being afraid of what folks will think of you when you sell. It's time to get over that fear so you can break that 12% glass ceiling!!

Today I'm diving into the fear of selling that many online female entrepreneurs face. We'll address some of the cultural narratives and gender biases that contribute to this fear and the negative impact it can have on your success in business.

I've been there, and I'm going to share with you my personal experiences with underselling and soft-balling offers so that you can recognize and overcome your own fear of selling.

You'll hear about the importance of expert positioning, copywriting, and selling in building a successful business. Let's break the glass ceiling and build thriving businesses. Are you ready?

Tune in today for…

• 3 ways the fear of selling manifests in your business
• The most important beliefs you need to reframe selling for yourself

Today I'm joined by Ahuva Hershkop to discuss the societal expectations and cultural norms surrounding parenthood (especially motherhood) that can create the pressure to constantly de-prioritize yourself, which can lead to burnout.

The "mom hustle culture" is a real phenomenon, where mothers are expected to not only work full-time jobs, but also take care of the household and their children, all while sacrificing their own needs and wants.

This is a perfect recipe for burnout.

Instead of "having it all" - which is really just perfectionism with a Wonder Woman bow on top - being transparent and honest about your struggles and failures (as a mom and an entrepreneur!) builds a stronger connection with your audience and creates a community of people who support and believe in you, instead of just the perfect image you might be tempted present. After all, when you're building a business in a way that doesn't align with who you really are, it feels infinitely worse and becomes WAY harder than it has to be.

Tune in today for…

• The societal expectations of women that are causing burn out
• The most common first place women lose our power & how to take it back
• How to stop the hustle happening in your brain
• Busting the "overnight success" and "effortless ease" myths
• How to build the self-trust that changes the game in parenting & business
• The most powerful way to take off the pressure of marketing & selling

& so much more!

Who told us that we had to start the year at full speed with a giant list of goals over our heads? What if we started the year slowly and gently, rather than feeling the pressure to hit the ground running and "go go go" as soon as the new year begins?

It is easy to get caught up in the unconscious cultural narrative of always being busy and productive - it's what we hear over and over again. Friends, this is exactly what can lead to burnout - not allowing our brains and bodies to truly rest and rejuvenate.

When you give yourself permission to rest and not put pressure on yourself to always be productive, it can lead to new ideas and opportunities for growth in the long run.

Today I'm sharing my own personal experience and what I'm choosing to do differently.

• How I accidentally packed a "to-do list" for my vacation in Hawaii.
• How I realized the importance of being present and actually enjoying the vacation.
• How taking a break from productivity sparked more creativity.
• How to apply this whether it be on vacation or in our daily lives.
• How the "to-do list" mentality is a trap that can lead to burnout and create a business that we end up hating.
• & so much more!
