Imagine you have tech and systems for your budding business that will make you more efficient. All of sudden, you're making money, and your time is opening up. 

Maybe that one task that used to take hours to complete now only takes minutes. 

OR

Maybe you are making money but with way less effort. 

If you are an entrepreneur, you have been hearing that the answer to your prayers is something called automation. 

But you are in the beginning stages of business and the more tech you sign up for the less money you actually make. This is a common problem amongst new entrepreneurs. 

Here is one of the unspoken truths about automation. Most automation will help you make more money only if you have a bigger audience.

That doesn't mean that you can’t use some automation in your business in the beginning. 

In this episode, I will…

● Explain business automation

● Why we are so tempted to automate early

● How to get the most out of automation as a new entrepreneur

● What you can automate early without seeing a decrease in revenue

Years ago, I was working incredibly hard. Today I am still driven, but things are very different. 

At that time, I was working for a company that used up every single piece of my mental energy and time. Like most of the ambitious women I work with, I was focused and giving so much to my career and earning potential that I was neglecting my internal signs. 

It resulted in a stress induced illness. Then I fixed it, but the cycle remained. 

I was very ambitious. I would work hard and give everything I had to my career and others, and internally I would be left with zero. I was under years of chronic stress. In my mind, there was a marriage between success and burn out. 

At the time, I never met a woman that I thought was extremely successful that wasn’t busy and stressed. 

This interview is what I needed to listen to many years ago. This is a conversation with the incredible Christy Nichol, a Burn Out Recovery Specialist with a biology background. She understands the connection between the body and mind.

Christy has discovered how to manage the burn out process to keep achieving and not pull back from her goals. Through her program, Burned Out to Blissed Out, she is teaching high achievers to regulate the burn out cycle and remain in control of their destiny. 

She is sharing some powerful information with us. 

· What is the burn out cycle?

· How you can regulate it so you can continue to be the high achiever you are meant to be

· How the body handles burn out

· How to incorporate burn out control in your everyday life

· How to get through the stress cycle faster

Have you noticed every time you go to the bank, they offer you a new product? 

I remember going to the bank by my office years ago. At the time, I was preparing to leave my 9-to-5 to do my business full-time. I had a habit of going to the bank every other Friday and depositing money in my “freedom” account. 

I quickly became well known at the bank for several reasons. I am routined and my accounts are hefty. I also became popular because they offered me a new financial product each time I went and I would confidently turn it down. This went on for a couple of years.  

Why did I turn it down? Because I knew that they made commission from every single account a customer opened. While this isn’t a negative, I knew that my banking structure was designed perfectly for me. 

In this episode, I am going to share with you…

And how your banking needs to remove financial complexity

Aubrey is back to ask me anything she wants about business and money! It is no surprise that most of her questions are about how to be more successful on your entrepreneurial journey.

Once you decide to become an entrepreneur you are inundated with offers to improve your business. But most of those services won’t solve the very first step. Trust me when I say, proper education will accelerate your path to creating a stable and fun business. But if you choose the wrong help, you will be left confused.  

You may be asking yourself “Well, what do I do?”

Let’s start off with the basics, figuring out what you want your business to look like and let the rest fall into place. That’s not to say that everything will align as soon as you’ve figured out that piece, but knowing clearly what you envision will guide you in the right direction and help you shut out the noise. From there you can find a business coach, course, or program that aligns with your vision.

In this episode, we’ll go over:

-How to discover the vision for your business

-How to get and retain clients

-Discover when you can afford to get help

-How to market your business on social media

As entrepreneurs we often admire someone else’s business success, but not every business model will work for you. Business development is a creative and personal process. While you can take pieces of someone else’s formula for success, you will add your own ingredients. That, my dear, is the magic of being an entrepreneur. You can make it tailor fit to you and your customers. 

I want to thank Aubrey for bringing her amazing questions on business. If you’d like information on her legal recruiting business, please reach out to her at [email protected]

Last year, I worked with a lot of women to help them create their dream businesses. Then toward the middle of the year I noticed a theme. 

The women that want to work with me to create businesses are not looking for a new profession. They love what they do, dedicated their careers to, and pursued in their education. These incredible ladies know what they love! 

So why are so many women leaving their 9-to-5 jobs to start businesses? 

Let me introduce my incredible client Aubrey Jones, an expert in legal placement for women and people of color. Aubrey’s story was the same as over 50% of my business clients in 2023. She had a job that gave her joy and purpose, but she knew that she needed to pave her own path. 

In this interview with Aubrey, she shares so many enlightening pieces about what it takes to become a self-employed professional. She shares her surprises and what your first year in business is truly like. 

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to create your own income doing what you do currently in your 9-to-5, this is the interview for you. 

If you want to reach out to Aubrey, feel free to reach her at [email protected] or on LinkedIn.

When you're a high achieving woman with a robust career, it becomes increasingly difficult to master balance. We're pulled in so many directions daily. Let’s be honest, our drive for career growth often takes the front seat right beside our families, leaving little left for physical activity and healthy eating. There never seems to be enough time in the day. 

When we try to seek out advice, it usually isn’t from someone who looks like us or has the same priorities. They may have a life centered around health and wellness or be someone who has an abundance of time and emotional energy to place on healthy eating and an active lifestyle. 

Today, we're going to help you make powerful adjustments to your everyday life that will promote weight loss, increased activity, and improved nutrition. The person guiding us is my client, Dr. Alison Parker, a busy professional just like you, who is an expert in health. 

She will share her top tips to… 

· Incorporate healthy habits daily 

· Juggle an increasing demanding career with emotional and physical well-being

· Include emotional well-being activities in just minutes a day

· Make slow but sustainable shifts in your eating habits

· Find you your perfect active lifestyle

· Not be so hard on yourself along your wellness journey

If you have been wondering what it takes financially to work for yourself, I have an interview for you. Today on the podcast, I interview my client Dr. Alison Parker, who has been self-employed for over thirty years.

Dr. Parker shares the intimate details of her financial journey as a self-employed professional and single mother of four children. Like many self-employed individuals, she was stuck in a financial cycle, one that didn’t include growing her personal finances.

Dr. Parker started with me when she was rehabbing her own practice while approaching her 60th birthday. She came to me to learn how to financially balance being a business owner and building a retirement plan that really works.

We restructured her finances to…

· Be able to retire

· Build wealth

· Develop a long-term reasonable financial plan that can be accelerated

· Determine her financial projections

and more.

In this episode, we share where entrepreneurs go wrong financially. This way you can start making financial pivots now or start your entrepreneurial journey without making this common mistake.

Dr. Parker is now in a completely different place financially. She shifted into a space of financial confidence which led to her expanding her practice.

Now with her new financial knowledge, she is planning on building a school in Ghana!

Her story proves that it is never too late to plan for retirement, build assets, and take your financial power back.

We're back with my client Pam, in another Ask Me Anything episode of The Money Itch Podcast. Pam asks me several questions about the emotional and technical sides of creating alternative income sources.

Building income sources outside of a traditional job is unlike any other financial goal. Out of everything I've done with money it was the hardest, but also the most rewarding. YUP, it is the most exciting financial goal I have hit! 

But since it is so hard, it is also unique. There is a very good chance that the people around you haven’t truly made really good money from their side ventures.  Therefore, you may have a hard time seeing that it is possible.

In this episode I unleash the secrets to building a lifestyle business and how to break the self-sabotage that prevents you from finally making GOOD Money outside of a traditional employment structure.

We discuss…

· What to expect your first year of creating an alternative income source

· Building a business based on data

· Tips to mastering marketing for your business

· How not all business models work for every business owner and client base

· How to harness your own internal power to break through your income making plateau

If you are not in finance, you might not know that each role is very different. For example, if you are in corporate finance the skills and strategies don’t translate to personal finance. Why?

It is all different. Personal finance and corporate finance often feel worlds apart. Personal finance strategies must take into consideration your life, dreams, and most importantly your relationship with money. That is the only way it will work and stick for life.

In this podcast episode, I interview a past client Pam. Pam has been in corporate finance for most of her professional career and has managed million-dollar accounts. But she came to me to devise a financial plan that actually works in her personal life. What happened? Well, her transformation was incredible, and she has come on to share and inspire you with what can happen when you tackle both the emotional and technical sides of money.

Pam shares with us…

*What it was like raising two children after divorce

*How her financial transformation opened her up to new levels

*What changed her perspective from not retiring to being certain she will retire

*How starting a new income stream is the icing on the cake

Additionally, Pam is sharing how her corporate finance knowledge is transforming accounting for her small business clients.
