The battle cry for many new entrepreneurs is, "Support small businesses!" When that doesn't happen, you being to see the subtweets and broken relationships because everyone on their timeline didn't buy their products or share their posts. Every time I see this, it makes me wonder if they ever created a strategy for success in their business?

It takes more than support to scale. Your first round of sales often comes from people who love you, but since they are not the audience for your product or service, it is often short-lived sales. How do you move beyond that? Today's episode shares 4 strategies every new business owner needs to include in their growth plan!

Watching the Adele interview with Oprah was great! But, there was one tough lesson I pulled out of her time in the chair. As she shared her weight loss journey, she also shared that there were people who turned against her for losing weight. Some said, "She doesn't love herself." Others asked, "Why did she feel the need to change?"

My question was, "Why does she have to stay the same?" That is when I realized that many people prefer the old version of you. It is more palatable and makes them feel better. But, the old you is oftentimes detrimental to who you are called to be. So, will you choose to elevate with your purpose or keep those around you comfortable? We dive into this topic in today's episode.

My entire life, I have been told that I am a Jack of All Trades. I have always loved knowing how to do many different things. Unfortunately, when it comes to growing a brand, you need a have a lot more focus. That is where I struggled when I first started Operation Evolve. However, when I was able to focus on one aspect of the business, I started to see growth. The same outcome happens to anyone who chooses to focus on this season. 

This doesn't mean you will never get to work on other projects, it just means you get to master one before moving on to the next. So, tap into today's episode and leave  a review and a rating if you are enjoying The Boss Up Podcast

"You cannot pour from an empty cup." Many of us are walking around with mere droplets in our cups and trying to make it happen. And as much as I used to brag about being part of the hustle culture, I realize how damaging it is for many of us. We are sacrificing our mental, physical, and spiritual wellness to "be a boss" and I promise you, we can do better for ourselves. 

Today's episode focuses on R.E.S.T because so many of us need it. It took me waking up to some alopecia areata bald spots for me to take a step back from the hustle. There is a way for you to reach your goals without severe burnout and I cannot wait to share it with you.

A life-changing moment was when I got my hands on "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F***" The book transformed how I prioritized my energy and helped me focus on my purpose. I can honestly say that the revelations from that book are what led me to write my own, launching my brunch tour, and truly pursuing my purpose. 

In this time, there are so many distractions that are taking us away from what is really important in life. My prayer is that today's episode opens your eyes and broadens your horizons for what is possible in your life.

Do you struggle with bragging on yourself? I completely understand! It can be difficult because you don't want to come across as "too confident" or cocky. So what do you do instead, you pull back and hope that others eventually see the greatness that is inside of you. 

That's not the best move as we finish out the year. 

One mistake I made was being too afraid to brag on myself. That stopped me from getting certain opportunities. 

I do not want the same to happen for you. So, today's episode focuses on how and why you should "talk your ish" and fully walk in your purpose.
