The Confidence Crown

Angela Proffitt literally helps creative industry professionals Get Sh*t Done (GSD)! This witty, sharp woman wasn't always an entrepreneur and went from the healthcare industry to luxury and celebrity wedding and event planning. Angela quickly discovered that one of the keys to success is having processes in place and is now on a mission to help professionals to work more effectively, grow their business steadily, and impress their clients consistently.

The most important thing to remember is to stay true to yourself.

What we're talking about

• Angela's Journey To Becoming An Entrepreneur
• How Tragedy Turned Into Success
• Angela's Advice For Business Owners

Angela's Journey To Becoming An Entrepreneur

Angela's career journey started with gymnastics and then turned to healthcare while also event planning on the side. It was in healthcare and event planning that Angela found her specialty in increasing productivity and in her ability to effectively teach others how to be more productive in their businesses. With this discovery, Angela launched her productivity business and teaches others that the top 3 ways to GSD are through personality, productivity, and profitability.

How Tragedy Turned Into Success

A Tennessee native, Angela shares with us the story of the flooding of Nashville in 2010 where the healthcare industry was rocked due to paper files and a lack of electronic files. Angela worked with physicians to create electronic patient files to reduce the need and use of paper. This environmental tragedy turned into a learning opportunity in which people finally not only heard the need for going electronic but now fully understood the importance of it as well.

Angela's Advice For Business Owners

Angela has some amazing advice to offer all business owners and even those without a business. She says you should start by surrounding yourself with the right people who will help you succeed in your goals. Another golden nugget she shares is to be open to and accept feedback. You will grow faster and learn much more by following these golden rules!

Now go out and get sh*t done!

That's how you're going to grow and the faster and the more you fall on your face and have those nights where I can't like even in my 30's how many nights I'd stay up, like 3 nights in a row crying and I had called it email jail. My main thing is surround yourself with the right people that are going to help you achieve your goal.

THE CONFIDENCE CROWN PODCAST NOTES: www.theconfidencecrown.com

Hayley Luckadoo is a multi-passionate serial entrepreneur who launched her first business while still in college. Hayley is an inspiration and she's sharing all of the motivation she has with Females On Fire podcast listeners and in her upcoming coaching program. After experiencing two life-changing events that most would consider setbacks, Hayley found encouragement to do more and epitomizes the definition of resilience. She's sharing how she views failures and her thoughts on why you should try new things.

Try new things…if you fail, you can at least learn from it!

What we're talking about

• Turning Setbacks Into Success
• Discovering Your Passions
• Embracing Life Experiences

Turning Setbacks into Success

In Hayley's final year of college, her fiance broke up with her a month before their wedding and she lost all of her financial aid which meant she couldn't graduate. Instead of wallowing in all that was going wrong, Hayley leveled up and dove headfirst into wedding planning and finding success in what she could do.

Discovering Your Passions

Hayley started out in the wedding planning business but discovered it was the digital marketing aspect that she was not only great at, but she loved doing most. Since then, she has continued to try new things and has launched a podcast, is about to launch a coaching service and is doing speaking engagements. Hayley's advice is to simply try new things. You'll either bomb at them or fall in love with something new.

Embracing Life Experiences

Hayley's motto is, "there's no experience like life experience," and she embraces every experience that comes her way, whether it's positive or negative. In trying new things and gaining experience, you're able to level up more than if you wait around for things to happen. You've got to let your ambitions be bigger than your excuses.

It's time to level up!

Ep 039 | Finding Confidence in Your Closet with Jennifer Mackey-Mary

Jennifer Mackey-Mary isn't just a stylist, it's her business to make you feel confident in your clothes and to teach you how to do more with less. Jennifer admits that clothes aren't her passion, but seeing what she can do to help other women is definitely her purpose. She offers virtual styling sessions and amazing seasonal capsule wardrobe ebooks that not only show you what to wear but different ways to wear it and where you can find each piece. If you're ready to work on what you wear, then you don't want to miss this episode because you are going to learn exactly what you need to do to start finding confidence in your clothes.

It's not about the dress, it's about the life you live in the dress!

What we're talking about

• Finding Confidence In Your Clothes
• What Is A Capsule Wardrobe?
• Don't Forget The Finishing Touches

Finding Confidence In Your Clothes

If you are wondering where to start when it comes to wardrobe styling, Jennifer's advice is to find a perfect pair of jeans and the right size bra. The right bra can make you look taller, leaner, younger and can take 10 lbs and 10 years off you instantly. Who wouldn't want that?! The truth is that you don't have to dress up to look stylish and polished, you can keep it casual as long as you find the right pieces in the right sizes.

What Is A Capsule Wardrobe?

Jennifer creates capsule wardrobes which are a collection of pieces that she then creates outfits out of. Her Winter capsule is 34 pieces that create 184 outfits, complete with tops, bottoms, dresses, shoes, jewelry, accessories and more. The trick that Jennifer teaches women is that you can absolutely do more with less and don't need hundreds or thousands of pieces of clothing in your closet.

Don't Forget The Finishing Touches

One thing Jennifer says many of us are missing these days is the finishing touches to our outfits. Some great tips Jennifer offers are to remember to wear a belt, add jewelry, roll up your sleeves and pop your collar. Not only do these things finish off an outfit, but they can also create slimming effects on your body which is always a good thing!

Let's get styled!

4:35 (34 sec JM) – I believe that we've gotten a little bit less narrow-minded about what fashion is and it's more about style and the fact it, there are just so many more options that are available to us, so when you look at even shopping, I don't know if you remember this, school shopping as a kid. You did it in August because that's when you bought your sweater and you wore sweaters to the 1st day of school and you just like were sweating the whole time. That sweater was there in August, got replenished in September and November all the way through the season. There were 4 seasons of fashion. Now there are 12.

18:41 (59 sec JM) – I create capsule wardrobe ebooks. It's a digital download that shows women how to put together a mix and match wardrobe every season. So I take 34 pieces, we combine them to track I think this is one that's coming out real soon for winter is like 184 outfits and we show them the tops, the bottoms, the dresses, the shoes, the jewelry, the accessories, everything they need. Then we give people shopping links where to buy them, in spend links, save links, petite and plus and then we show them all the outfit combinations. So you know, let's say you want to try a really trendy piece for the season, like a leopard midi skirt. I would love to put this in my wardrobe but I have no idea what to do with that. We have a page in the capsule guide that shows you like 20 different ways to style your leopard midi, so I really wanted women to put together every mix and match that's effortlessly stylish wardrobe, but it turns out stylish is not effortless.

QUOTES

1. I love what clothes do for women. JM
2. It's the ability to help women see in the mirror what we see in our own minds. JM
3. I don't love clothes. I love what clothes can do for women. JM

Ep 038 | Spilling the Instagram Secret Sauce with Joseph Rubelli

Joseph Rubelli is a content creator, marketing strategist, and influencer who is giving away the most amazing Instagram tips and sharing what's important when it comes to content creation as a business. This episode is packed with useful information and a secret sauce to growing your followers on the 'gram while being authentic and truly connecting with your followers. Prepare to learn some game-changers when it comes to content and social media!

In a world full of influencers, make sure you're standing out!

What we're talking about

• How To Expand Your Brand
• Instagram Secret Sauce
• Instagram Stories

Ways To Expand Your Brand & Get Noticed

Everyone has a brand but there are things you can do to grow your brand and stand out from the rest of the crowd. Joseph's tips include making sure you come from a place of service. It's about what you can do for others, not just about you. You also shouldn't wait for other brands to approach you. Fight the fear and go after the brands and opportunities you want.

Discover The Secrets To Instagram Engagement

Joseph is filled with tips on how you can grow your following and increase engagement when it comes to Instagram. Start by liking, commenting and saving other people's content and engage in the content within your niche 48 hours before posting. This is going to ensure that those people will be seeing your content when you post! When it comes to hashtags…go big, medium, and niche with 60K-100K but if you really want to grow, keep it under 50K. Ready for a game-changing hashtag? Use your name!

Instagram Story Hacks

If you're on Instagram, then you know that creating stories is where it's at right now. Joseph is armed with the hacks you need including that you should go live once a week for 5 minutes. He says that instead of using stickers and questions, you should do a live and to make life simpler, use the "create" option within stories. Most 'gram users aren't listening to the audio, so he uses an app called Clipomatic that will add subtitles to your videos.

Ep 037 | Getting School'd with Tracy Pendergast

Tracy Pendergast is a lifestyle blogger and host of The Home School'd podcast and is sharing how she uses creativity as a form of self-care. While being a mom of two kids keeps her busy, Tracy is finding time for home remodels, business launches, building her online community, and the importance of educating yourself. We are discussing all of this and dive into some home remodel stories along with our favorite and least favorite parts of a remodel…hint, the furniture design, and colors are the most fun!

It's important to pay attention to what fills your cup!

What we're talking about

• Creativity
• Building A Brand
• DIY vs Hiring

Creativity As Self-Care

Self-care is so important and something we cover quite a bit. Tracy's form of self-care is allowing herself to be creative because it fills her cup and allows her to feel whole. By doing what she loves, it enables her to be a good mom and a good wife, which in turn also makes her feel even more whole.

Building Your Community With Your Brand

Tracy has had a community of followers since she started her lifestyle blog many years ago, but launching a new podcast has brought the need for growing her audience. Tracy's advice is to engage with your community and involve them instead of worrying about a large number of followers. It's important to be around those that inspire you and energize you and your community is a perfect place to start in finding those people.

Remodels, Paint and DIY Projects

Tracy and I are both fans of beautiful things and are not strangers to remodels, and we are definitely in agreement that hiring professionals is better than doing the work yourself! With the ease of shopping online and strolling through the warehouse of Ikea for ideas, all you have to do is pick out the designs and colors you love and then let those who do it for a living, make it come to life.

Have you found your tribe of inspirational and energized people?

2:17 (53 sec TP) – I started Hey Tracy back before I had kids and once I had kids and I had this huge creative block for a couple of years and I could not figure out why I didn't feel like sharing and writing and blogging anymore. It was really weird. And it took me a long time to figure out that it was actually because I stopped investing time in learning how to do things. And it's like once you kind of exhausted your skill set, there's really not much to talk about anymore with people. So I started really taking time to learn how to do things myself and really pour time and effort into educating myself again and I just became really passionate about things, especially around my home.

1. Once you've exhausted your skill set, there's not much to talk about.

Ep 035 | An Open Letter to GP

This past week I turned 50 and Gwyneth Paltrow made statements regarding how women become unf*ckable at a certain age and I'm here to tell you all that she couldn't be further from the truth. 50 is amazing and if being f*ckable is your concern…ladies, don't worry! Men don't care about your age! You should only care about yourself and how you age, which is entirely up to you. Listen to the tips I'm sharing on how to stay young and the simple things you can incorporate into your life today. Embrace your age and treat yourself like the queen you are!

I'm having more fun now than I ever have…you should be too!

What we're talking about

• Gwyneth Paltrow's Ageism Statement
• Aging
• Looking Forward

Age Does Not Define F*ckableness

Gwyneth Paltrow made some comments in the media last week regarding how a woman becomes unf*ckable at a certain age. This comes during the week of my 50th birthday and JLo's 50th and to be honest, Gwyneth couldn't be further from the truth. At this point in life, men don't care how old you are. If Gwyneth can't get a role in Hollywood, then she needs to remember who runs Hollywood…the good ole boys!

Preventing Aging

You can't blame aging on genetics because only 20% of it is related to your genes. What you can do to help prevent aging is to eat organic, limit alcohol, don't smoke, wear sunscreen, wash your face, hydrate, and exfoliate. It's truly up to you how you will age and it's definitely not something you should be afraid of. Embrace it and do everything you can to ensure you do it gracefully.

The Year To Come

Entering my 50th decade is going to be an epic one. I am working on sharing all of the life lessons I have learned with you through Masterminds and an amazing 5-week coaching program I'm launching called, Earn Your Crown. You are going to learn how to sidestep all the crazy and get out of your own way to be the successful woman you are.

Don't be afraid of getting older…embrace it!

Be afraid of not getting that physical or mammogram because you're afraid of the results.

Ep 034 | Igniting Your Passion with Alina Fridman

Alina Fridman is the CEO of Ladies Take The Lead and is producing the first-ever wedding experience, Down The Aisle Weddings. After a career in event planning, Alina decided that her priority was enjoying Saturday morning cartoons and breakfast with her kids rather than rushing out the door to an event. Today, Alina is helping inspire women while still producing events and launching a wedding experience that is for all people who celebrate love.

If it's not working, fix it!

What we're talking about

• Saturday Morning Breakfasts
• Igniting Your Fire
• A Wedding Experience

Making A Career Change

After years in the event planning industry, Alina realized what she was missing most…Saturday morning breakfasts with her kids. Her events were always on the weekend and that was when she could spend quality time with her kids instead of rushing off to work. Alina decided to take time to discover what she could do to make that happen while living out her passion.

Discovering Your Passion

Alina is proof that when you discover your passion and what excites you to work, then it will literally make you want to jump out of bed in the morning and get to work. The career possibilities nowadays are pretty amazing and if you love what you do, but not the hours, then chances are you can change that around. Alina is producing events yet doing it on her own time and not on her family's time.

Weddings Are About Love

Alina is producing the first Down The Aisle Weddings which isn't simply an event, it's an experience. Alina and her team realized that wedding expos are just events and their target audience is female brides and they're on a mission to change that. Down The Aisle Weddings is set to be an amazing experience for anyone who is celebrating love and will be filled with vendors who not only produce weddings but corporate events, birthdays and more.

Keren de Zwart is Not Your Father's Lawyer…both figuratively and literally! Keren is changing the way entrepreneurs and online business owners think about attorneys and their need to protect themselves and their websites. Keren went from climbing the legal corporate ladder to discovering motherhood and wanting to help entrepreneurs in their businesses without breaking their bank accounts. From living the corporate life and being the only female attorney in a firm to now setting her own hours and changing how people view attorneys, Keren is a wealth of information and lessons we can all use.

Her father's lawyer may not have liked her business name, but we sure do!

What we're talking about

• A New Type of Firm
• Online Businesses
• Finding An Attorney

Truly Not Your Father's Lawyer

Keren is definitely not your father's lawyer…she's on a mission to prove to the world that you can have an amazing attorney who will not break your bank account by being a flat fee attorney who specializes in helping entrepreneurs and online businesses protect themselves. Keren is like Legal Zoom Plus because you get the flat fee model but with an actual attorney attached.

Protecting Yourself As An Online Business Owner

As an online business owner or simply someone with a website, you're still subject to various laws by your city, state and even the FTC. It's so important to protect yourself with privacy policies and terms and conditions otherwise you are leaving yourself vulnerable and liable.

Making Sure Your Attorney Is Like A Friend

You might not think of an attorney as a friend, but Keren says it's of the utmost importance that you click with yours. Think of your attorney as you would your therapist…you want to like them and need to click with them. You want to find someone who understands you, your business and your goals.

It's time to protect yourself!

26:37 (55 sec KZ) – I just think not to be afraid. I'm not the only one. I'd like to say I'm the best, but there are a lot of others like me and it's really important that you find a lawyer you trust, as you know I tell clients, I'm a transactional attorney, so all I do is draft documents, set up operations, you know form entities and if and when God forbid a person gets sued, I'm passing them off to a litigator, somebody who spends time in court. It's really rare, 9 times out of 10 you're writing a contract that literally no one's going to pick up again, nobody cares, but when it goes awry, it can be very, very costly for you and it's so important. Your lawyer should be somebody you feel like is a friend and is like a therapist. You know you wouldn't just go to some therapist you don't click with, so it's important to find a lawyer you trust who understands your business and is will to listen.

Ep 032 | How to Protect Yourself After Fraud and Betrayal

If you've been following along with my Instagram stories and IGTV, then you've seen that in the past week, I've had my identity stolen and not by some hacker or random person, but by someone who was not only working with me but was what I thought a good friend. After going through emotions of anger and betrayal, it was time to protect myself and fight back. This week I'm sharing my journey of contacting the credit bureaus and what you can do to protect yourself from identity theft.

Don't get so busy that you forget to protect yourself!

What we're talking about

• Fraud and Betrayal
• Credit Bureaus
• Credit Tips

Discovering Someone Close Is A Fraud

Recently I discovered that a friend who had been working for me was not only not who she said she was but had stolen my identity in order to make purchases, pay her taxes and open lines of credit. Having your identity stolen leaves you feeling vulnerable, but also encourages you to protect yourself and never let such a thing happen again.

Freezing Your Credit

The 3 credit bureaus are Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion and by contacting all of them, you can not only turn on alerts that your cards and/or identity have been stolen, but you can freeze your credit. This might sound like a hassle but the protection is worth it. For major purchases, you will have to contact them all and give them additional information in order to unfreeze it, but the sense of protection and relief is worth it.

Tips For Protecting Your Credit & Identity

There are many tips you can use to avoid having identity theft happen to you. Simple ones such as never use a debit card at a gas station are ways you can start today. Get an annual report of your credit to keep an eye on any kind of suspicious activity that might be going on, change your passwords and make sure they aren't simple to discover. If you're also ready, invest in a fraud alert program. Although you'll pay monthly for the subscription, the peace of mind will ease your fear and worries.

Protect yourself!

3 Credit Bureau's Contact Info

Best Identity Theft Protection 2019

TIMESTAMPS

7:37 (57 sec) – There are 3 credit bureaus. You can call them each individually and put a fraud alert out. They will track anytime that your cards are used or someone attempts to take a line of credit out or if they think there is some behavior that is out of line from what you actively use your cards for. So you can do a fraud alert…that's the first step. When we realized that she had my social security number, we went back to those 3 credit bureaus and we actually froze everything. So freezing means only I have the information to unfreeze them. They give you a case number and I will have to personally talk to each bureau if I want to go make a large purchase, meaning if I want to buy a home or a car.

QUOTES

1. Be cautious and take a proactive stance.
2. Take a stand and protect yourself.
