Do you feel like you're on a rollercoaster as an entrepreneur? Where you have one incredible month, followed by a stressful one where you want to give up and go back to corporate? 

On today's episode, I share the four biggest lessons I've learned since starting my business, The Happy Marketing Co., 18 months ago. Trust me, it has not been easy. And no, I didn't make $100,000 in two days (although that would have been nice).

• Set boundaries with clients and said NO to the wrong clients
• Get over the investments that didn't work out in the end
• And how to avoid or reduce burnout as an entrepreneur

Have you joined a Facebook group to get leads for your business? Facebook groups are for way more than buying furniture from your neighbors...

Facebook groups can connect you with thousands of other entrepreneurs and women looking to work with someone exactly like you and/or purchase a product you offer.

In today's episode, I share about how I recently joined a few Facebook groups — which led to booking FIVE new clients. These networking groups are powerful when it comes to connecting with new people who aren't in your world, creating endless lead generation and referrals.

A few highlights:

1. What is a Facebook group?
2. How to find the right Facebook groups to join 
3. How to be active and set notifications for groups
4. How to use groups as mini search engines with keywords

Are you feeling stuck, bored, or confused in your business? Maybe you have a million creative ideas but no idea which one to pursue. Or maybe you want to do a complete 180 in your business, but you're unsure if that's logical or just crazy spontaneous.

In today's episode, I share all about a pivot I've been wanting to take in my business. I was feeling stuck for months (like six months), and not being able to take action was making me feel hopeless and confused.

Today I'm sharing a 5-step workshop I took myself through to see WHY I was so eager to pivot and how I realized what I really wanted to do. In this episode I also share some BIG NEWS about an extension of my business that just launched today.

The Happy LeadHer podcast is BACK! 

Do you ever feel like you're just in a funk? You aren't sure exactly why, but you feel stuck, anxious, and so confused. 

In today's episode, I share about the "funk" I've been in for the last few months. It was so bad that I was literally "down bad, crying at the gym," like Taylor Swift. 

I didn't want to record the podcast or grow my business or do the things I so enjoy doing. But honestly that's why we need our people — they help us find ourselves again. 

If you're in a funk or just came out of one like me, this episode is for you. I share about how I found myself again, why I'm relaunching The Happy LeadHer, and what's to come.
