The Chill MomBoss - Build a Profitable Business from Home while Raising Kids

Sunk cost is the "perceived" cost that makes us refuse to step away from something we've spent time or money on, even though that's the sensible thing to do.

It is also the reason most entrepreneurs are "stuck" in the business.

In this episode, business strategist Michelle Hon talks through why it happens and how it impacts your business, and shares strategies to overcome and use it to advantage.

ABOUT:

9 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 5 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.

Recently I got a question from one of my subscribers about her sales struggles. She is struggling with these troubles: People can't afford her prices, aren't interested in buying right now and feel like she is too expensive than her competitors.

This is a very important topic for every entrepreneur out there today. So, I decided to shoot a podcast episode on "The 2 key things you need to focus on if you want to hit 10k/month in 2023."

In this episode, I shared:

• The 2 key things you need to focus on in 2023 if you want to hit consistent 10K months (It's not just about posting endless content on social media!)
• The "right" mindset you can learn from companies like Whatsapp, Apple, and Netflix to THRIVE even when other businesses are shutting down now
• How to stand out from your competitors and become the "go-to" expert in your field even if you are in a "red ocean" niche

Have you ever wondered what you would tell your younger self if given the opportunity?

If only you could go back and prepare for the challenges ahead.

Maybe there are a few things you wish you knew before starting a business. So, in this third episode of our MomBoss Chat we spoke to Diana Lai, Founder of Bunny Lashes and Jasmine Chua, Founder & Interior Designer of Frosh Design Studio on what they wish they knew before getting started.

What we covered in the chat:

• What would you tell your younger self before starting a business
• Their biggest mindset shifts after being an entrepreneur
• The biggest myth of entrepreneurship

Key takeaways from the chat:

• Entrepreneurship is a learn-as-you-go world. Start small and gain experience as you go. You will be surprised how much you can learn on the way and how many opportunities there are for improvement.
• As an entrepreneur, you will face tons of rejections. Focus on the positive, keep going and do your best, and eventually you will succeed.
• A good entrepreneur learns from his/her mistakes and reviews feedback from others. When you listen to constructive criticism, you improve yourself as a person and business owner.
• Being an entrepreneur does not mean that you can just sit back and relax. Entrepreneurship is about freedom to manage your time and hold yourself accountable for making your goals happen.

Have you ever wondered if you were born or made?

That's the topic we are covering in the second episode of MomBoss Chat with Diana Lai, Founder of Bunny Lashes and Jasmine Chua, Founder & Interior Designer of Frosh Design Studio, as we take a look at how motherhood can lead to entrepreneurship.

What we covered in the chat:

• Is entrepreneurship nature or nurture
• Does childhood and upbringing affect one in being an entrepreneur
• Have they thought of going from entrepreneur to employee again
• Would they recommend entrepreneurship to their children
• Do they instill entrepreneurial mindset in their kids

Key takeaways from the chat:

• You can spend quality time with your kids—all while making money doing what you love.
• Every entrepreneur will experience some form of shortcomings or failure, but you will reap the fruit of success if you work hard and persevere.
• If you want to be an entrepreneur, don't wait. Start now. And don't forget: your kids are watching.
• We are modeling what it means to be successful to our kids—to work hard and do what's necessary to accomplish our goals.

I launched my very first online program, #MomBossGoal via a live webinar. In fact, we ran the launch even before the program was fully ready.

We acquired 1500 leads and made more than $21,000 in revenue from that very first launch.

Since then, live webinar launches have been our main strategy for filling up our courses, programs and memberships.

In today's episode, I shared:

• Why I think live launching your products is the BEST way to boost your sales and get new leads
• What are the benefits of a webinar launch
• The difference between going "live" on social media and hosting a live webinar launch
• What you should include in your content (as in your presentation!)

And if you are interested to learn how to run a successful webinar launch, join me on my NEW live training - Million Dollar Webinar Blueprint where I will share the 7 steps you need to fill your programs, courses and sell your products via a webinar.

Ask yourself these very confronting questions and then have the courage to build your life around your answer.

Most people would rather bury their heads in the sand and then wonder, "What had I done with my life?" when it's too late.

But not you. If you truly care about what you do and you work diligently at it, there's almost nothing you can't accomplish.
