The Get Shit Done Podcast

Here’s the deal: starting and running a successful business doesn’t have to be hard.   

It also doesn’t have to involve a complicated or innovative idea that requires high upfront costs, showing up on every social media platform available for download, or working crazy long hours.

 

It can really be as simple as solving a simple problem for your community. Yes, I meant to say simple twice!! 

 

Why? Because our guest today has taken a simple idea and turned it into a simple (yet, successful!) business that has supported him and his employers for over 40 years – and the message that Brian Winch is spreading in this episode is that anybody can do it!!

 

So who is Brian? Well, he’s an author and the founder of Cleanlots, a parking lot litter cleanup business he has been running since 1981!! Brian is all about simple business models that allow entrepreneurs to make money from simple (yet impactful) ideas –and now he teaches others how to do it, too! 

 

Sometimes those simple things in life are really what will bring you success!! 

 

Tune in to hear Brian’s amazingly simple story of success!

 

Oh, and by the way, if you like what you hear? Could you do me a huge favor and leave us a review on iTunes @ When I Grow Up Pod? It would mean the world! Thank you!

FREEBIE: 6 steps to take the guess work out of “what’s next?” https://www.kelseym

Have you ever heard the saying by Henry Fielding, “Success is the fruit of slow growth”??

 

Don’t get me wrong, slow growth is definitely a great tactic for your biz, but not every business owner has the opportunity to grow at their own pace. 

 

Circumstances and unique opportunities can catapult some entrepreneurs forward faster than their biz neighbors, BUT if they can keep up, take measured risks, and effectively lead a growing team, they can build an Empire. 

 

And guess what? My incredible guest today has done just that. And I can’t wait for you to hear her story!

 

In today’s episode, Katelyn, aesthetician turned founder and CEO of Salon Ish, is talking all about how she went from a one-woman show to running a large team – and all the trials and tribulations that came along with growing a business and growing a team.

 

If you need a motivational boost on what your business can become and how to know if you’re ready to grow into the next phase of your biz, this episode is for you!

If you’ve spent 5 minutes with me… then you’ll know I’m a big fan of working smarter, not harder. And I’ll be honest with you, taking the time to create new content for each platform you’re showing up on is TIME CONSUMING. 

 

Want to know how to be SMART with your content creation? Repurpose, repurpose, repurpose.

 

Let’s talk about why repurposing is a great solution to your content creation woes, especially for those “overwhelming” social media platforms!!! Hint: repurposing your content takes the overwhelm out of content creation, pinky promise! AND you can still sound like your genuine, down to earth, relatable, self.

 

But the party doesn’t stop there! 

 

Inside this episode, I’m going totally transparent and walking you through my very own content creation and repurposing process, from the big ideas and goals I set at the beginning of the year to the daily posts you see on my social media channels. Whether you want to outsource content creation or you're going at this alone, you’ll want to tune into this episode.

 

Let’s do this!!

If you’re an entrepreneur, showing up with confidence and clarity is key to running a successful business. 

 

But if you’re not feeling your best because you aren’t prioritizing self-care, then your work will reflect that.

 

I don’t know about you, but I don’t have time for brain fog and low energy levels inside my business! Not showing up as my best self doesn’t serve my clients, and it doesn’t serve me. 

 

But what if I told you that taking care of your personal health can help you become the effective leader, CEO, and business owner you’ve always wanted to be?

 

Well, I’ve got news for you! 

 

Today’s guest is here to tell us exactly why optimal health is the key to success and what actions we can take to start energetically showing up for our clients, our family, and ourselves. 

 

Nate Palmer is a health and fitness expert, author of The Million Dollar Body Method, and he’s sharing his unique approach to shifting your mindset around food, setting boundaries, and taking your health back.

 

Tune in to learn how you can start prioritizing your health to be the effective leader you were always meant to be.

Are you ready to step into that CEO role that your business needs?

 

Well, you need to start by looking at your numbers. Yep, I said it. Whether you want to improve how you do things on your own or are looking to grow your team, you need to know how your business is actually doing. 

 

Numbers are what matter most in your business – and it’s numbers that tell the true story of what’s going on behind those picture-perfect IG feeds you’re seeing online. (Hint: a lot of times, those aren’t healthy businesses!) Believe me, I’ve talked to business who are barely making it yet they have tens of thousands of followers. Followers don’t always equal $, and today I’m going to tell you why.

 

Buckle in friends, we're going to have a deep convo about what numbers to track, what they tell you about your business and what to do with that information so you can build, scale, and grow a healthy biz that let’s you live your dream life!
