You might be surprised with some of the points driven home in this episode. It’s Amy with a solo one this week and I’m focusing in on what it really means to be resilient as a business owner. I believe this is one of my strengths as an entrepreneur and I’m not going to tell you that there isn’t a time or a place for a pivot or to move away from something. 

To be resilient in business means to be able to recover quickly from setbacks. Mistakes happen, we all know that. But what you do to bounce back from those failures is what is going to make you flex your resiliency muscles. In this episode, I share my personal journey from my beginning days of blogging to how those lessons directly transposed into some of the most important skills I brought with me when my sister Krystle and I started Expecting and Empowered.

If something in your business doesn’t feel right or if it truly isn’t working, don’t be afraid to make an intentional pivot. Remind yourself that what you are building today will come with you on your next adventure. We want you to tune in, listen to your heart and your schedule, and make sure that you are doing things for your mind that allow you to move forward if and when you’re ready.

Today’s guest, Jeanelle Teves, is the Chief Commercial Officer of Bugaboo. She is also a speaker, a wife, and a mom of two kids; ages three and six. Jeanelle is crushing it in corporate America and has a stay at home partner. We cover both of these topics in our interview and we touch on confidence. Jeanelle shares how she built her own confidence and how she fully embodies it.

We know lots of our listeners have times in their lives where they contemplate a career move. Maybe you’ve thought about leaving your job all together and being a full-time stay at home parent? Jeanelle shares how she knows when it is time to make a change. She also manages a fully remote team and knows that for moms who are working from home, it can be easy to blur the lines between professional and mom. She shares her tips on how to set some boundaries both at home and with your work place.

In Jeanelle’s family, she is the breadwinner and her husband is the full-time stay at home working parent. Jeanelle talks to us about how they came to this decision as a family and what she does to support her husband in finding time for himself outside of all the household work he puts in. 

Finally, we know that a lot of women can struggle with confidence at times. If this has been you, tune in to hear how Jeanelle is so unapologetic about her successes and the tips she has on how you yourself can grow in this area.

We have our first ever goal achievement coach on the show today, Kristin Burke. Kristin also happens to a student from the very first mastermind cohort that we launched. Today, Kristin is talking with us about ways to gain clarity, grow our confidence, and not only make but actually progress towards achieving our goals.

First off, Kristin explains to us what a goal achievement coach is and how she got into this line of work. She also shares the four characteristics that she’s seen time and time again set goal achievers apart from goal setters. Kristin explains what the three major roadblocks are that get in the way of us achieving our goals and how we can tell when it might be time to pivot or re-write the goals that we are working on.

Having a vision for yourself and working on strengthening your mindset can have a huge impact on helping you achieve your goals. If you’re not sure where to start when it comes to writing your own vision, Kristin recommends simply asking yourself where you want to be in three to five years from now. She also shares some things that will help strengthen your mindset like facing your fears, having a plan, and tracking.

There are five business philosophies that I, Kat, have found to really change everything for me when it comes to being an entrepreneur. Today I am getting behind the mic to share what these are and the impact each one of them has had on my life. Now, they aren’t going to be your typical marketing strategies that you might hear in a business class but more along the lines of what is going to help you show up in your business in order to succeed.

The first strategy  I delve into is taking no “L’s”. I explain what I mean by this and why it is the philosophy that I am most proud of overall. Next, I cover why I don’t go alone. Finding mentors has made a major difference for me on my entrepreneurial journey, and spoiler alert, they don’t always have to be paid options. Then I get into why it’s so important to make sure you are focusing on revenue generating activities within your business. I even share an activity that you can do that will help you figure out which tasks are actually pulling in an income for you. After that, I share a personal story about living out my core values and why this philosophy is key to succeeding in business. And finally, I share why operating from a place of integrity is my ultimate not only as an entrepreneur, but as a leader as well.

This list of strategies is meant to help you reflect on where you might want to take your business in the future or perhaps it will help you realize what areas of business you have grown in. Chances are, you started your business to help other people in some way. And we are here to help you make a bigger impact on those whose lives you are making a difference in each and every day.

It’s Abby here with a solo episode this week and you guys know I love anything that has to do with personal growth and I love reading. So I thought, why not do an episode based entirely on one of the most impactful books that I’ve read recently; The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest. I talk you through some of my biggest takeaways from this book that have also really resonated with other female entrepreneurs in my life.

Amy, Kat and I all know that as an entrepreneur it’s not just business and it’s not just personal. The two go hand in hand. Oftentimes as women, if it feels like you’re thriving in one area it can feel like you’re depleted in the other. We hear it so often from this community that you have a lot going on and you feel stuck. You can’t get out of a rut. But what if I told you that your problems aren't problems, they are symptoms of you?

Throughout the episode I walk you through how you can overcome these internal barriers and turn perceived obstacles into opportunities. I go through the key points of the book including understanding what the mountain is, tools for climbing the mountain, and how to navigate the ascent. I also touch on how to apply these concepts to your business. 

If this message is hitting home for you and you know another female entrepreneur who could benefit from listening, we would love it if you could share this episode with her!

And on the opposite end, some of our students have taken one of our courses, Purposeful Podcast, and released their very own podcast into the world in less than four weeks! 

Some other points that we touch on in this episode are why online courses are the number one method adults prefer when it comes to learning a new skill, how online courses can make you money right away, and how courses can add to the overall lifetime value of your customers.

We think online courses are an incredible way for you to make ongoing revenue as a business owner. If you’re contemplating on whether or not an online course might be the next right move for you and your business, you’re going to want to hear what we have to say in this episode.

Or maybe you are about to launch your offer out into the world but don’t know what steps to take to ensure its success? That's exactly what we are sharing today. Oftentimes people have the misconception that the success of a launch has to do with the actual day it happens. When in fact, it has much more to do with the prep you do weeks and months ahead of time. We focus on how you can grow your audience and nurture them well in advance so when it comes time to purchase your offer, they already know, like and trust you.

During our launch weeks we don’t keep our cart open for more than three days. We explain why and share some tactics on how you can get your audience to make a decision, whether it be a yes or a no, in a timely manner. We also talk about what to do after your launch. It’s important to not just rinse and repeat. We want you to take some time to celebrate the wins but also debrief; see what worked and what didn’t, make pivots, and go out there and crush again the next time!

If you want to learn more about how you can create an online course that will serve your ICA (ideal customer avatar) while also making money, be sure to click on the link below to save your seat for our free webinar that is happening next week. See below for more details.

One of our greatest values is freedom. We have all been in that place where we have been craving something different from our careers but we haven’t necessarily been able to nail down exactly what that is. Maybe you’re feeling this way right now, too? If so, we created this episode to help you figure out how you might create more freedom from your career.

Right from the get go we share five examples of certain scenarios that will help you figure out if freedom is something you might be craving more of. And we remind you that if you are seeking a change, it doesn’t mean you have to jump ship and quit your job tomorrow. What if instead you could learn a skill set while you’re at your current job? Or you’re able to start a side project that gives you more energy?

We want to help you feel like your days have more purpose and get you back to that feeling of wanting to get out of bed in the morning to go to work! And we don’t want you to feel like you have to have a million dollar launch or a fully formed business in order to do so. We are just encouraging you to take the next right step.

Building a supportive community when you are an entrepreneur can be hard. We’ve each gone through this ourselves. Being an entrepreneur can be lonely and it can be challenging to build a circle around yourself that supports you. But today we are going to dive into how to build an inner circle that feels aligned with your values both as a person and as a business.

We cover five main talking points including the science behind why your inner circle is so important, how your inner circle influences you, assessing your inner circle, expanding your network, and maintaining meaningful connections.

Overall, the relationships that you make as an entrepreneur should not feel transactional. You want to build relationships where you not only cheer on your fellow solopreneurs but you’re also not afraid to give honest feedback. In the end, it will be worth it to try to build your circle to exactly where you want it. A lot of us want to be happier, more supported entrepreneurs but it’s up to you to go out and get it. And remember, this will take time. It’s okay if it doesn’t happen overnight.

Limiting beliefs - we all have them. But in challenging seasons of entrepreneurship they can really start to overwhelm you. We know this topic resonates with so many of you and that is why this episode is entirely dedicated to you; the dynamic, female entrepreneur who might have some tricky times ahead of them.

In this episode I, Abby, teach you how to turn your obstacles into opportunities. I share inspiring stories, practical strategies, and expert advice on how to thrive both in business and in your personal life. I kick things off by going into details about what limiting beliefs might look like for you and how they are having an impact on your success.

Then I dive into strategies on how to overcome these beliefs and break down how things like time blocking and cutting out non-priorities can help you move the needle forward in business. And in true Abby fashion, I walk you through a powerful visualization exercise at the end that will leave you with that spark you had when you first started in this world of entrepreneurship!
