The Entrepreneur Evolution

In this week’s episode of the Entrepreneur Evolution Podcast, we interview Sara Stein of the MamaThis App. As a mother of 2 and full-time business owner, Sara is no stranger to the struggles of balancing home and business. She quickly realized there was no existing solution for a community of similarly-minded mothers to all support one another and help create a “one-stop-shop” to offer an easier way of getting answers and life done with the individual’s needs in mind. And so came MamaThis - an app that organizes, assists, and automates the lives of those who do it all for others. The app has networking capabilities, money-making opportunities, relationship-building, and spaces for finding help with certain tasks. No matter if you're a mom looking for a little extra cash, or a mom looking for a little extra help, the app has solutions for all types of mothers. Head on over to download the app at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mamathis/id1460693100 or check out more on the MamaThis website at https://mamathis.com/. With your “village of moms” you can do so much more, and have more time for yourself. Sara’s momtrepreneur attitude helped her to recognize the need and take it to the next level to help others.

Welcome to this week’s Express Tip on the Entrepreneur Evolution Podcast. Today we are talking about why new hires fail in your organization, and guess what… It's not their fault! There are THREE significant reasons why they fail, and it is actually our fault as the leaders and owners of our businesses. But that’s ok, failure is feedback. And when you gain that kind of feedback you grow the most. Sometimes, it’s the hardest situations that help you to grow and make those significant leaps for full awareness in your business. Reason number one is about what they are walking into and what processes and clarity they have in their role. Reason number two is that we are not being objective in our hiring process and we are hiring the wrong person. Often we hire those who speak like us, talk like us, and are more similar to ourselves. I use the Core Values Assessment Index to objectively evaluate how they are wired innately. This tool has been priceless in our team building, hiring, and for iEvolve’s clients. If you haven’t taken it already, reach out and I will make sure you get a copy of that assessment in our breakthrough session. And finally, reason number three is that we are not taking the time to train effectively. They come in and we feel like they are going to be rockstars, magic wands, and save the day in our organization. We really need to take that time to train them, not overwhelm them, and have them take on tasks slowly and effectively leading towards gaining autonomy and long-term employee retention. If you want to take the Core Values Assessment to learn how to build a team around your strengths and weaknesses to really find those traits within you as a leader and identify those organizational gaps - THIS IS THE TIME TO DO IT. It’s always a good time to work on yourself, grow as a leader, and grow your team. That is what I am here for, so make sure you reach out. I see you, I get you, and keep evolving - I am SO proud of you.

Welcome to this week’s episode of the Entrepreneur Evolution Podcast, and today we are talking about visibility. I’m your host Annette Walter, business growth coach, operational strategist, and growth-minded entrepreneur just like you, growing and scaling my two businesses on the national level. I’m so happy you are here. I’m going to give you some tips on how to increase your visibility online and with social media. Where can you increase your visibility? Where and how can you increase your audience so you are talking to and reaching more people in your tactical posts? Sometimes we are just talking to the same people, and we need to branch out. Go ahead and write down three places you want to be more visible. Think about where you need to be more visible, where you are having success, and where you should be having more success. You need to talk to people outside of your typical audience. Once you have your three areas to be more visible, write three ways you can show up differently for that audience, and three ways you can increase your audience. I have some great ideas behind the scenes if you want to reach out and do a brainstorming session and think about this in your business. If you feel like you are doing this already, perhaps you’re just talking to the same people and they’ve heard it, they're there, they get it. How can you reach more people and gain more visibility? So let’s schedule some time to talk about you and your business. Take advantage of all of the resources we have, and check out our mastermind groups! Thanks so much for listening. Keep evolving, Entrepreneur!

Today’s Express Tip has been a common theme lately in our coaching sessions and in our group masterminds. People, business owners, entrepreneurs, are saying they need the next layer of their organization. But when that next layer of organization is built, what will I do? What will be my identity? So use this illustration to help you understand what your role is as the leader and owner of your company. Picture a huge elephant walking through very tall grass. Grass so tall that the elephant cannot see anything in front of it. There are lots of dangerous things out there unseen, snakes, tigers, and you're just trying to get to the village. You are standing on top of the elephant, and your team is down in the grass with the machetes chopping through the grass so the elephant can walk through it. Halfway up the elephant there are people hanging off it that can see a little bit over the grass, but not the village on the horizon. Your job, sitting on top of the elephant, is to tell them where to go, where they need to chop, where to steer. You are setting the vision and guiding them to where you need to go. Sometimes you go down to the ground to help others, but quickly go back on top of the elephant to steer where you are going. If you haven’t had a chance to jump back on top of the elephant, and you are down on the ground with the machete - get up out of the weeds, that's not your job. When you build those layers below you, when you let go of something in your business, you will see new things. If you haven't heard yet about our mastermind groups make sure you reach out to learn about being on top of that elephant with other like minded entrepreneurs in these groups - reach out and book a session. Keep evolving, Entrepreneur!

Welcome to this week’s episode of the Entrepreneur Evolution Podcast. When we have our head down in our business, it’s important to make sure we are trying to see as much as possible. It can be hard sometimes to make sure you are being as efficient as possible, improving your process, and working effectively. So that’s what we’re going to talk about today. I am going to give you four tips to think about when you are feeling overwhelmed, inefficient, or feeling like a bottleneck in your business. Use these tips to help make yourself a little more self aware while you grow out of the weeds and grow your process to function in your genius zone. First, you can automate, think about what softwares you are using. Where can you eliminate by reducing 6 steps into 1 click? Second, is to outsource. Where do you need help on your team and how can you outsource it to make time for other tasks? Third, delegate. What can you delegate to take it off your plate? Lastly, DELETE. Make sure you are deleting things you don’t need, and saying no to events and projects that aren’t a hell yes. Start over and find your real priorities. So look up and pay attention to what’s going on around you. I encourage you to use these four tips. If you haven’t scheduled your session, you are missing out. Reach out, and have that free breakthrough session with me. Keep evolving, Entrepreneur, I am SO proud of you.

Today’s Entrepreneur Express Tip is about stressing the importance of your people and your team. About you showing up and checking on your people. Typically, this is called leadership, but I want you to think about leadership as building people. The people around you: your team, your village, the people that come to you as friends and family. Everyone in your life is there for a reason. You can be a huge and critical part of their growth. When you look at it from the angle of building people, that’s when huge things happen. We need to make sure we are checking in with people and their overall health and wellness. If you haven’t done that in a while, or haven’t connected with someone in your team - now is the time to make sure you do so. Reach out, text them, ask them simple questions to help, they can go so far. As  you are busier, and weeks, days, months are dripping by - sometimes, that type of thing as small as it is, can often be overlooked, or goes on too long without us doing so - despite its importance. So continue to build people on your team. Be thoughtful in your hires. The old saying goes “hire slow, fire fast.” If you are beyond capacity in your business and you are at that point to hire, I really encourage you to make sure you are being methodical, strategic, and thoughtful with your hires. Don’t be too impatient as you are building people to your team, and as you are really building and developing your people out there. I am here for you. I am doing it right there with you. Our team is growing, business is growing, and my clients too are experiencing such insane growth all around the United States. So let's schedule some time, let's make sure we’re meeting, let's make sure we’re taking time to carve out and talk about you and your business. Don’t do this alone, it will cost you way too much money. Use the resources around you to make sound, good, factual decisions that are a win-win for everyone on your team and for you. So that’s my message today: BUILD people! You are gifted, and you can do this. Continuously build people up around you so they are better, and you are better.
