Trigger Warning: Discussion of ED and Body Image

This week, I am joined by the AMAZING biz coach and strategist, Rachel Spencer Wolff  to talk about all things money mindset, inner work, and how she scaled her business! Rachel embodies integrity and transparency and you totally can see this in our conversation. She tells us all how we can stay true to who we are when running a business and letting go of looking at what everyone else is doing, in order to find ease in your business and life. 

Quick overview of what we cover: 

• Rachel’s background in acting and how that led her all the way to sales, business, and coaching (she was even featured in Teen Vogue!)
• How Rachel juggled transitioning her business into a new niche having grown a large audience of followers who were no longer ideal clients
• Reminding yourself that your ideal clients would love to have the "problems" that you have
• Getting over imposter syndrome and self doubt
• A better way of setting financial goals than just tracking month to month
• Indicators of your business's growth that have nothing to do with money

I’ve managed teams of 20+ in my own businesses and 200+ in corporate settings, and over the years, I’ve learned a lot about how to (and how NOT to) hire and manage team members. Since I’ve had years of experience hiring various  positions I have made this series to talk about ALL the dos and don’ts of hiring and on this episode we are going to discuss something I am very passionate about: why hiring a VA is not ALWAYS the answer. 

Quick overview of what we cover: 

• How to tell whether you should hire a VA or not, and how to determine which team member might actually be a better fit
• How your hiring structure may not be meant for hiring a VA, but more of a full-time employee
• Why you shouldn’t need to (and in most cases, actually can't) train a VA
• Most VAs are technicians and doers, not strategic thinkers  
• Understanding the difference between hiring to replicate vs hiring to innovate
• What you need to be thinking about before hiring

Around 6 or 7 months ago, I realized I unintentionally, but quite blatantly copied other business owners without knowing. In today’s episode, I talk about this horrifying situation and why I believe it is IMPERATIVE to talk about situations that no one else will talk about. We love radical transparency.  There is so much value in talking about the hard stuff because… lets face it, if it's happened to me, it's probably happened (unfortunately) to someone else! 

Quick overview of what we cover: 

• Lessons that I have learned around my realization that I was unintentionally, yet blatantly was copying other business owners
• Why it is INCREDIBLY important to talk about stuff that no one is talking about 
• The reason I have SOPs for copyright issues I may encounter in my business 
• Why embracing discomfort is part of the deal when you run a business
• Why you should always listen to your gut... ALWAYS!

I’ve managed teams of 20+ in my own businesses and 200+ in corporate settings, and over the years, I’ve learned a lot about how to (and how NOT to) hire and manage team members. In the online space, there are a lot of things that don’t get talked about that I wish did, so I’ve created this “Tea Time” series to spill some tea on hiring. We’re kicking off by talking about why you need to stop being a control freak (good reminder for myself, too) with your team!

Quick overview of what we cover: 

• Why behaviours that are generally rewarded in corporate America make us less than great bosses
• The thing your team really needs if it’s going to THRIVE
• Why it’s worth teaching someone how to do something even if you can do it better and faster
• My own realisations around things I’m being a control freak about that I could stand to let go of

The largest part of my business background is in the performing arts, and working with kids means having Christmas break. When I looked at how I wanted to structure my business, I knew that this idea of “Christmas Vacation” was something I wanted to carry into practise at Soulpreneur. So in today’s episode, I’m going to talk about how I took 3 weeks off, what worked, what didn’t, and how you can plan to take extended time off in your own business! 

Quick overview of what we cover: 

• What worked well and what didn't work well
• How I prepared to take 3 weeks off – and how you can can start preparing for your own time off
• My primary takeaways and what I’ll do differently next time
• My goals for the future regarding the vacation

I’m joined by one of my favourite biz friends, fellow masterminder, wonderful human, and brand embodiment queen, Ruthie Cease. Ruthie generated her first 6-figures cash in less than 18 months, during which time she also got pregnant, had her son, and balanced business with raising an infant. Less than 5 years later, she’s just closed 2022 having made more than $500k cash. Ruthie is one of the realest, rawest people I know, and I think that’s exactly what you’re going to get in this episode as we talk about stuff that no one else is really talking about when scaling. 

Quick overview of what we cover: 

• Why you should figure out who you are, own it, and let that drive your business
• Sustainability to Ruthie is time and financial freedom 
• How to set structure and boundaries in your business and why that helps you acquire time freedom
• Supporting yourself financially while balancing work and family life
• Ruthie’s biggest lessons she learned on her journey of going from 6-figures to multi-6-figures
• How Ruthie has created boundaries with clients
• Stay in your own lane and create from a place of service and artistry to stay authentic when running your business
