Webinar mentioned in the episode SheDidItHerWayPodcast.com/blog

Here are just a few of the main takeaways I got from our conversation…

Entrepreneurship is basically a deep dive into personal development, and there is going to be discomfort. If you want all of the perks that come with entrepreneurship, the discomfort is just part of the deal. You are going to be pushed every single day to be a better person than you were the day before. This is a blessing, but it’s also exhausting at times. And the only way you can walk this path is if you come from a mindset of serving your people, and don’t identify with your failures. Your business is just one big experiment, and you need to look from a detached perspective when things go wrong, no matter how disappointed you may be. 

And if you are transitioning from a corporate job to full-time entrepreneurship, the best advice I think Amanda gave was to let go of any distaste you have for your current situation. Building a business while also employed is challenging, but it’s also an opportunity to learn time management skills that you will use once you take your business full time. If you can’t manage the three hours per day that you are free now, I promise you that you won’t be able to manage an entire day! 

And in order to manage your time, you also need to know what you are doing… so invest in courses or hire coaches to point you in the right direction, so you aren’t wasting your time. The webinar that Amanda mentioned is in the show notes of this episode. 

But also remember that there is a difference between massive and passive action. Passive action is learning about something and massive action is when you implement it. You can take courses and listen to podcasts all day long, but make sure you are also taking action to implement that stuff into the business you are building. So right after I sign off here, I want you to go implement everything you learned on this podcast episode from Amanda. 

So go do that, because it is now time for you to go forth and be the bold, daring, courageous, reckless entrepreneur that you were meant to be, and I will see you next week.

I revisit something I talked about when I first launched my podcast… My experience giving up on my dream when I was in college. 

There is room for everyone to live their dream. Your joy means everything to the rest of us. 

We create a better world by creating a world where people are happy. 

Hopefully you can learn from my mistakes and find inspiration in my story.

One thing we can really take away from this is Krista’s story of how she got into entrepreneurship. If you are listening, and you really want to build something on your own, but you are having a hard time coming up with a flashy business idea, remember that selling the skills you have is a great starting point. Every single one of you listening has something you are really good at that other people will pay for. 

And once you figure out what those skills are for you, use Krista’s BCF method to start building your online business. 

Build a hypnotic online presence 

Captivate clients through content 

Free up time to live your passion 

And don’t forget to leverage the power of your network, or go to live events to help you build your network, or just network on Facebook if you have to. Krista gave us a lot of good networking tips to think about, and she gave us a framework for how to reach out to a possible new connection… 

Create an initial connection by complimenting their work. 

Let them know what you can do for them. 

Tell them what you want from them. 

And this doesn’t have to be sleazy. It’s too bad that so many people are afraid to sell themselves or reach out and ask for help because they are afraid of being sleazy. As long as you are being authentic and kind, and you are aiming for a genuine connection (as well as a beneficial one), you are going to do great. 

So thanks again Krista for being on the podcast… can’t wait to have you on again soon, and now, my listeners, it is time for you to go forth and be the bold, daring courageous, reckless entrepreneur that you were meant to be, and I will see you next week.

Here is the landing page for the free event we are hosting together http://francescamamlin.com/index.php/2019/04/17/yoga-nidra-manifestation-session-with-julie-and-francesca/

Here are some takeaways from the conversation… 

A good mindset is one that isn’t destructive. So you can basically either be operating from fear or love. Fear is destructive and love… isn’t. 

You are the writer of your story, not a character. We really have the power to create out own story, even though it doesn’t always feel that way. But truly, the only thing that you really have to fear is writer’s block. 

We talked a lot about the power of gratitude to raise your vibration.And if you are in challenging circumstances at the moment, you can always find one thing to be grateful for. 

And the wisdom she shared around manifesting… this is life-changing stuff, guys. The main takeaway here is that we are always manifesting. Manifesting is just a natural process that we take part in every single day, but a lot of us are not conscious of the process. And if you are an entrepreneur, you need to start co-creating your reality with the universe. If that’s too woo for you, then think of it from a psychological perspective. 95% of what you do is governed by your subconscious, to you have to take ownership of what is in there. Easier said than done, I know, but use the practices from this podcast episode to get yourself started.

Take Megan’s five question quiz to discover your personality type: https://www.thegoaldesigner.com/quiz 

Megan Seeley, Planning Fairy Godmother at The Goal Designer. She uses personality types to help women and entrepreneurs figure out which planner is the best match for them, and their best planning strategy when it comes to actually using it.

Here are some of the main points… 

Get to know your own personality before you do anything else. Everyone is so different, so we all need to be approaching goal setting and planning differently. I also like how she talks about setting goals with self-improvement in mind, but we also need to be setting goals that we can have some fun with. 

Making planning into a ritual and pairing it with things you enjoy doing is the best way to integrate it into your life. 

If you are a self-employed person that spends most of your time home alone, it’s important to make time to socialize with other humans… and put those dates in your calendar… make them a priority. We all need human contact. 

Planners mentioned in this episode… 

Emily Ley Simplified Planner

The Brilliant Life Planner

Spaces

Bullet Journaling

Keep in mind that your planner needs may not be met by one of these mentioned planners, and you should take Megan’s 5 question quiz to learn about your personality type and what your unique planner needs are. If you are a bullet journaler let me know and I can do a bullet journal tutorial on my patreon page for those rebels out there.

Today I sit down with Lynn Hulver 

@LynnHulver

Chasing The Freedom Podcast https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/chasing-the-freedom/id1387600527?mt=2

Lynn is a 24-year-old location independent worker with a passion for traveling the world, living life to the fullest, and doing things outside her comfort zone. She has wanted to work and travel for basically her whole life, but didn’t know how to make that a reality until she heard about the concept of being a “digital nomad” in July 2017. She immediately went to work making this lifestyle a reality, and within 30 days landed multiple remote jobs and booked a one-way ticket to Thailand. She started out doing social media marketing for online entrepreneurs, doing travel writing for a digital marketing agency, and teaching English online. Now, she works on a completely remote team for a tech company called Noom, a popular health + fitness app and wellness program. She also hosts her own podcast called Chasing the Freedom, where she interviews millennial women who have created location independent lifestyles. 

Here are some other things I learned from Lynn today… 

Get mentors. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, and don’t be afraid to invest money in it either. I can only imagine how much more successful my first year of business must have been if I had only had the common sense to work with a business coach. I remember I had so much energy, and I was so determined to make this business work, but I was headed in the wrong direction like 90% of the time. This is an example of when a reckless entrepreneur may need to check themselves and find someone to help them figure out where they should be channeling their energy in order to actually see results. 

Confidence is something you build over time. I really appreciate how willing Lynn is to be open about the times in her life when she doubted herself, because everyone has to deal with self-doubt and fear, and the only way to deal with fear is to just take it with you. We aren’t ever going to completely demolish fear, but we can take action despite it. 

Get clear about who you want to be long-term, but try and let go of the details of how exactly you are going to get there. It’s impossible to predict exactly how your life will unfold, but you can absolutely hold a vision for your life and manifest that vision, as long as you remain open to different avenues of achieving your goals.

This week I sit down with Shauna VanBogart to discuss how you can find your "Business Sweet Spot". 

@shaunavanbogart

https://www.shaunavanbogart.com/

Your sweet spot is your zone of genius, your passion and where that meets the needs of your ideal consumer. When you find your sweet spot, you no longer have to strain to keep your business running and growing. Things start to happen more naturally. 

Most business owners get so caught up in the “how”, and they forget that they are meant to operate from a place of “being”. Sometimes trying and doing is not the solution. What tasks do you keep adding to your todo list just because you think you need to? What would happen if you let those tasks go? 

Tune into this episode to discover how your business could run effortlessly, and how you can finally stop straining to make everything work.
