If you are a mom, it is highly likely that you have shopped at Motherswork before.

However, did you know that Motherswork actually started out as a mom's hobby, and it stands for 11 product values?

What we covered in the chat:

• How she sourced and brought the brands/products in to Singapore when she first started her business
• How they choose the brands/products they carry based on their 11 values
• The biggest challenge Sharon had when she started the business and what kept her going

ABOUT:

8 years ago, Michelle Hon started a blog from home and turned it into a more than half a million dollar revenue business.

Today, she's an author, speaker, business coach, investor and she's leading 4 businesses, from F&B, publishing, digital marketing to education. Michelle's blog has generated more than 3 million views, and hundreds of students have completed her business growth online courses and videos. Her story has been featured on Channel News Asia, Lifetime Asia, The Asian Money, Parenting World and more. In 2019, Zine named her one of the Top 10 Mom Influencers in the World.

There's a limit to how many people you can reach with organic posts.

If you're serious about reaching your target audience and extending your business online, then great content and blog posts are not enough – you need to buy ads.

I've ventured into Facebook (and Instagram ads) for a few years now and got a good ROI. Last year alone, I invested about $27K in ads and generated about half a million dollars in sales.

While these numbers are considered small in the whole Facebook ads space, I'm sharing because I want to show you that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a big returns.

In this episode, I share the 4 elements I pay attention to when creating ads for my own business. To this day, I run through this list to make sure that my ads are hitting the mark in each of these areas, and it hasn't failed me.

My hope is that you take these elements, apply them to your own ads, and then watch your conversions continue to grow over time.

Want to know how to increase your conversion and make more sales?

Know why people say "no" to your offer.

Sometimes, a no could be legit. But most of the time, they say no because they can't make a decision.

People's objections to how your product/service can help them tends to be rooted in fear, doubt, or uncertainty. They don't buy because they are afraid!

But there is a solution...

Learn to get deeper to the root of their objection and address them correctly.

When you know what's holding people back from saying "heck yes" to your offer, you can address their hesitation head-on. You don't have to tiptoe around it — instead, you can have a conversation.

Here's a sneak peek at what you'll learn from this episode:

• The truth about money objections
• The key differences between features and benefits
• How to get to the root mindset of "I don't have money."
• The best place to address objections (hint: it's not necessarily on your webinar or sales page)
• What to do on the front end of your offer so that common objections never even make an appearance.

If you want to master objections, I'll teach my 12+ proven language patterns and linguistic strategies that can turn any "No" into a "Hell Yes": How to Turn a No into a Yes - How To Overcome Objections Masterclass

It's not complicated, and there's no need to put big programmes in place or offer big referral fees, just a few simple changes to what you're already doing will make a big difference.

Whether you want to start a new business, offer a different range of products or services to your established business or you are wondering why you are not getting leads and customers, the answer always lies with:

Your customers.

However, that does not mean you must conduct another customer surveys or focus group. There are many ways to go about understanding and truly mastering what your customers want.

On this episode of The Chill MomBoss Show, we are giving you a sneak peek into one of our Momentum Coaching sessions. You can hear that while the questions our mombosses asked were different, it all comes down to understanding your customers.

Also, listen for the action plans that Michelle gave to our mombosses. Hopefully, it would help you too!

When you plan your lead generation, customer experience or sales strategy, what do you focus on?

Most business owners operate from the "what is great about my product" perspective, and very often they completely miss the mark with their customers - resulting in zero to little excitement from customers.

You need to operate from the customer's perspective. You need to be customer-obsessed.

On this episode of The Chill MomBoss Show, Michelle breaks down three simple questions you need to answer and focus on to create an amazing customer experience and differentiate yourself from others in the market.

Working at home makes balancing work and kids easier. Without commuting or late nights at the office, you get to be there all day every day for your kids.

However, as a mom building business from home, you probably know that balancing work with kids requires a special skill set of prioritising, productivity, and creativity.

Whether it's one child or five, working at home when you've got kids of any age requires you to think strategically and plan accordingly.

I created this episode to help you cope with working from home when you don't have childcare arrangements.

• How to come up with creative solutions – even when it's overwhelming and your mind wants to shut down
• How to make quality time for both your business AND your family
• Using the BE, DO, HAVE model to achieve what you want

There's a huge difference between the two and only one would make you a step above your competitions in your industry.

So, how do you become a Thought Leader?

In this episode, I'll be breaking down the four-step formula to becoming a Thought Leader and how mastery is the key element you need to lean into.

Most online entrepreneurs make the mistake of focusing on followers and growing a "following", believing it will equate to sales. Yet, you see a lot of struggling influencers with tons of followers.

Instead, you need to learn how to create your own methodology and content that builds connection and demand that is uniquely you. And in this episode, I'll tell you how you can do that!

Whether you're an Influencer or a Thought Leader, it's important to know how effective you are at attracting the right opportunities, influencing your audience and monetising your expertise. Find out what's your IN-DEMAND Score here: https://www.momboss.academy/indemand-quiz

Why did you want to start a business?

Most people's answer to that is to have time freedom. They start a business so that they can work less and work whenever they want from wherever they are.

But when asked what are their plans to grow that business or make that business a success?

We get answers like working harder - "I'll do whatever it takes. I'll stay up later at night."

That's NOT what a business is for - it isn't for you to work harder. Remember, you didn't start a business to work harder. If you are, what you've started is a job for yourself.

Your business should work for you and not the other way round.

And I made the mistake of falling into the hustle culture trap myself in the early days of my business.

So in this episode, I want to talk about the turning point when I realised that working less actually earned me more money.

Plus how I undid the thoughts of what I "should be" as an entrepreneur and even the "hustle-over-everything" beliefs I brought into my business.

Whether you're just starting out or you're a long-timer like me, I hope this episode is one more reminder that your worthiness is not tied to your productivity.

It's time we lose that hustle mentality.

Here's a glance at this episode…

• The time I discovered we made more money when I was forced to do less.
• How I got it wrong in my entrepreneurship journey
• What I believe now is that you can have an amazing personal life with white space and downtime as well as an amazing business.
• The questions to ask which allow us to work smarter.

You work hard, but… it never hurts to have a little more money.

And the best way to grow more money is through investing.

Investing is one of the most important components of personal finance. Knowing how to invest and acting upon this knowledge can help you greatly in growing your wealth quickly and to generate sources of passive income.

That's why on this week of The Chill MomBoss show, I get Jonathan Ang, a Growth Investor to share his expert knowledge in investing.

From how he went from a gamer nerd to learning the rope of investment and becoming a full-time investor just to escape the corporate rat race.

Find out:

• How Jonathan started his career as an investor
• What is the easiest and safest way to invest money
• His biggest investing mistakes
• The one investment platform he would recommend to Singaporeans/Malaysians
• The one investment platform he would recommend to international investors
• The dos and don'ts of investing
• The right mindset of investing

We hope this episode will help you get the ball rolling — especially if you are a beginner in investing.
