How do you handle failure? Do you let it completely crush you and stop you from moving forward? Or do you see it as an opportunity to learn and turn it into a success? The feeling of failure is something every entrepreneur is going to deal with in their business. *It’s inevitable, boo boo!*We have the tendency to put this pressure on ourselves and if something doesn’t quite work the way we hoped for we see it as a failure. But it doesn’t have to be! In a Q&A I recently had on Facebook Live *yes boo, did you know I go live every Wednesday?* I talked about how to turn failure into success. It’s all about that mindset shift, friend. >>If we don't have failures, we don't have lessons.<< So click play if you’d like to hear about 3 lessons I’ve learned from my failures: Don’t strive after perfectionListen to othersSet priorities I’m all about sharing my journey so that you can learn from the mistakes I made.

What are your thoughts:Do you see a successful business and think “boy that person got lucky”? Or do you look at a successful business and see all the hard work that went in and believe that luck had nothing to do with it? When I look back at my career, the thought of being in the right place at the right time seems unlikely, but I can't help wondering if some divine intervention played a part. *Like how else would a girl from the hood be running a multi million dollar business?!* I believe that...>>Luck is when preparation meets opportunity<< When you look around at the people who are creating waves in the world and the people who have wild and amazing amounts of fans on the internet, it wasn't because they were good looking, rich,funny or witty. These were people who loved what they did so much and made it successful. If you're sitting here looking at other people, asking yourself, why am I not as lucky as they are... I would ask you to dig a little deeper and ask why am I not doing the things that they are doing.So if you’re ready to start doing the work and making your own luck, click play to listen! You know that feeling when you find a platform that just works—and you never have to worry about switching?

Have you been telling yourself the lie that you need to have money, resources, talent or connections to run a successful business?Boo I want you to throw that mindset right out the window and never look back. In fact, I want you to reverse that car and run over it a few times just to make sure you completely get rid of itAs a girl from the hood, I didn't grow up watching people build businesses. I didn't grow up actually thinking that entrepreneurship was a path in life that I could take. I lived in so much self doubt and created this lie that I had to have the money, resources, talent or connections to make my way in life. The thing I had to learn was that:>>I just had to start with who I was, and with where I was at, and with what I had.<<As a result of this lesson, I started taking simple actions and building habits from that mindset that radically transformed the way I approached my business and my life. Click play to continue learning about the habits I built early on as a business owner and still maintain to this day.If you would like to check out the free branding bundle I mention in this episode head to www.jasminestar.com/branding.You know that feeling when you find a platform that just works—and you never have to worry about switching?

Want to know how to build a killer personal brand? Here’s the thing, it isn’t just important but rather  a necessity if you want your business to actually work. A business without a brand is like a Kardashian without her phone. #uselessAll jokes aside, your brand is what sets you apart. A brand is expectations, memories, stories and relationships that lead into a consumer's decision to choose one product or service over another. How does your business make them feel?How are you serving your ideal customer?How are you creating an amazing experience from start to finish for them?>> A brand is not defined by a business, a brand is defined by a consumer's perception of that business. <<So let me ask you: What are your followers saying about you? If you’re ready to start building your brand then CLICK PLAY to listen to the rest of my keynote presentation. Interested in knowing when I may be giving a keynote near you?

What is more important: WHO you know or WHATyou know? I was recently asked that when I joined Travis Chappell on his podcast Build Your Network to discuss how to connect with people online to grow your business.Here's the thing boo boo, you're going to be very hard pressed to find somebody who is worse at networking than me. *I’m all kinds of awkward* But I know how important it is and for me it’s all about what you know! But that’s contingent on if you’re willing to share it. >> Buttercup, knowledge ain’t worth a dime if you don’t go out and share it.<< It’s 2020, people! We don’t need to follow the 1980s way of networking. There are so many opportunities to grow your business by just being you and putting your information out into the world. Travis and I cover so much ground in this interview and I’m so excited for you to join in on it!

Have you ever felt so exhausted, overwhelmed and confused that you wanted to throw in the towel? *Friend, I know I have and all of the ladies I brought in on my coaching call today have because it is NORMAL!* It doesn’t matter how tough you are, what skills you have, or where you are at in your life... it’s normal!  There isn't a single entrepreneur in the world who hasn't thought about quitting at least once.When I first started my business, I did not have the kind of confidence I have today. In fact, one of the reasons I love these coaching calls is because I love hearing where everyone is at and encourage them in any way I can.There is nothing I believe in more than teaching what I’ve learned, tested and tried to other business owners hustling hard to make their dreams a reality. We are all going to feel stressed and overwhelmed when we put ourselves out there.>>However, success goes to us who remain undaunted and keep pushing themselves forward past the point where everyone else may quit.<<So if you’re telling yourself maybe this isn't for me after all... I am here to tell you this is for YOU. You are meant to be here. You are meant to do this. You are intended to pursue your passion and you are here to create a life that makes you excited to get out of bed every morning.You are meant to do the thing that you love because why would you ever settle for anything else? So please, please, please Buttercup: do not give up.If this is resonating with you right now, it is because you need to hear it.

Have ever wished you could make your business an expression of yourself and get paid for it?In this episode, I dive into an interview with Laura Belgray, founder of the Talking Shrimp, and we discuss getting paid to be YOU. Friend, you don’t have to be living the Instagrammable life to make an impact. This is attainable for anyone, no matter what you look like, how you act, or what stage of life you are in...Your business should be an expression of yourself. >>Being authentically you is one of the simplest and simultaneously hardest things you could do in your marketing.<< It requires so much bravery because often, especially on the internet, we are attempted to tuck away the parts of ourselves that we don't really think will be accepted. It’s easier to only post your flawlessly contoured #IWokeUpLikeThis face on Instagram. It's easier to go live only when you have detailed notes and a good hair day. It's easier to only show up on stories when you've just cleaned your house and the kids aren’t running around like crazyBut you know what’s worth moreBeing relatable, engaging, & profitable, which comes by showing up consistently as YOURSELF. Click play to listen to all the tangible steps you can take to do that, and learn more about Laura Belgray in the show notes here: https://jasminestar.com/podcast/episode38. You know that feeling when you find a platform that just works—and you never have to worry about switching?

So it’s time to have a mindset shift. In this episode you’re going to learn how to: Start each day with a gratitude list #blessedRemind yourself of what you’ve accomplished over the past 3 months Stop dreaming and start doing *it’s all about that messy action*Focus on one thing at a time *multitasking is a hoax boo* Now I get it... Your time is limited or you’re worried about taking that step before you’re ready. You might like the idea of this practice, but will you actually do it?>>The only thing more tragic than making a mistake in business is not doing something to begin with.<< So boo boo let me be your number one fan, you know the one with the giant foam finger, and cheer you on because YOU GOT THIS.
