Many women around the globe act as full or part time caregivers in some capacity and their free labor allows businesses to expand profits and take advantage of their creativity. Often, as a result women are financially dependent and vulnerable.

If you do find yourself on the spectrum of vulnerability and financial dependence, know that you are not alone and this problem is a much larger societal problem.

It is not only time for unpaid work to be recognized in our society, but also for players at all the levels of our society to share the “caring” burden so that women and all caregivers can have the bandwidth to achieve their own dreams, create their own financial freedom and break the glass ceiling.”

But, if you are seeking to grow your own business and earn your own revenue streams– it is possible. There are ways you can empower yourself throughout your entrepreneurial journey in both big and small ways.

What you will learn:

How I see this societal issue play out in the day-to-day life of women who want to grow a successful portable business while being present for their loved ones

What conversation you can have with yourself to make your business a priority

What conversation you can have with your family to make yourself a priority

What exactly is a ‘brand evolution’? Just like a personal evolution, a brand also requires the creator to dig deep and ask the hard questions like:

Am I showing up in a way that feels good and is helpful to my audience?

Does my design style represent the vibe and vision I want to portray?

Is my brand still showcasing my values?

In this episode, Sundae Bean uncovers how a brand's evolution directly correlates to one’s willingness to adapt and change to their own world, and to the one around them.

“There was enough discomfort and clarity to push me to change.”

Sundae takes listeners on her personal brand evolution, providing insights about how to get the most out of the process. She expounds on what true growth might feel like within your body and how to work with it. She also discusses how to collaborate with outside agencies to help you through this journey.

Sundae Schneider-Bean is an intercultural strategist, a transformation facilitator, and a solution-oriented coach. She supports individuals and organizations as they traverse through (and flourish beyond!) life quakes and other major shifts – no matter where they are. For almost a decade, her location-independent business has served individuals and world-class organizations from over 60 countries across six continents. Sundae’s mission is to help clients achieve ambitious goals while navigating transition. She leads several online groups with thousands of members and hosts the popular weekly podcast IN TRANSIT with Sundae Bean. Formerly known as Expat Happy Hour, it has enjoyed a top 5% global rank for six years straight.

What you will learn:

The difference between rebranding and brand evolution

Why the physical and emotional discomfort of transformation is a good sign for you and your business

How to partner with branding and marketing organizations rather than employ them

Make your business work around your life, and not the other way around.

But, it is possible to create a business that fits into your lifestyle. You just need to be intentional! In this episode I share insights around my business seasons and how I build around those.

As a service provider - such as a freelancer, expert, consultant or coach, it can be difficult to define your offers effectively, especially when you don’t know in advance what the client needs and how a project will go.

However, whether you're just starting your business or have been in the game for a while, it’s important to have complete clarity about what you’re offering. Revising your offers and considering how to deliver them, describe them, and what their key components are, is essential to grow your revenue, position yourself as an expert in your field, and effectively communicate the value of your services to potential clients.

Even if each client in your business is different, you need to structure your offers effectively so that you can sell your services with more ease and clarity.

In this episode I will share with you how to reflect on your offers and design an effective business model, even if each client and situation is different.

While these tips are focused on businesses and self-employed individuals who provide a service, product-based businesses can still learn from them.

What you will learn:

Why it is important to have clear offers in your business, even if each client is different.

How to design your offers effectively and describe them in a compelling way.

How your business benefits from structured offers and an effective business model.

If you have been thinking of starting your business, launching something new in an existing business or completely pivoting your business into a new direction but struggle to take action for a while now, you might be getting into Analysis Paralysis mode.

Being stuck in Analysis Paralysis mode is one of the greatest dangers for solopreneurs and a common obstacle to many people.

In other words, it's a state of being stuck in indecision, often caused by an overwhelming amount of information or options to consider, fear of making the wrong decision, or a lack of confidence in one's ability to make a decision. Analysis paralysis can lead to procrastination, missed opportunities, and decreased productivity.
