Today we’re back with part 2 of answering your assumptions about us. You seemed to like the first episode so much we’re back to finish up more assumptions since we got so many. If you missed the first episode we did answer your assumptions about us go back to episode number 101 and listen to that one if you haven’t already!   If you haven’t yet listened to that to catch you up a little, we polled you guys on Instagram asking to give us assumptions about us. We didn’t look at them before recording the first assumptions episode, and the ones we didn’t get to that we’re gonna chat about today - we still haven’t seen. So on today’s episode, you’re still getting our raw reaction to reading your assumptions about us!   Let’s just dive right in and get to the juice!!    Show notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/116-answering-your-assumptions-about-us-pt-2/ Better Help: www.betterhelp.com/heartandhustle  Save 10% off your first month with Better Help!    www.theheartuniversity.com/content   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.

Dan Henry went from selling water bottles on the side of the road to an 8 Figure Earner by selling his advice online. Dan is a Wall Street Journal, Amazon & USA Today Bestselling Author who’s sold over $15 million of his own digital products and has been instrumental in helping to create several internet millionaires. He’s been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, Business Insider, and more. If you’re an entrepreneur of any kind, you’ve undoubtedly seen his ads on your Facebook timeline.  We sat down and had an open, candid conversation about the mindset shifts you have to make in order to truly become successful. Dan isn’t afraid of offending anyone, and if you’re trying to build a life you love, you NEED what he has to say. He tells a story of the latest conference he attended and what the difference was in conversations at a table full of 6 & 7 figure entrepreneurs, vs a table full of 8 figure entrepreneurs.  We also get into the fear behind knowing when to get into coaching, mentoring, and selling your knowledge online. He tackles the lie holding many people back of “I’m not qualified enough to teach.” At the end of the episode, we even ask Dan a personal question we have within our own education company: 'how do you get people to consume your entire course?'.    Show notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/115-from-pizza-delivery-boy-to-million-dollar-days-how-to-sell-what-you-know-with-dan-henry/   www.theheartuniversity.com/website-templates   www.theheartuniversity.com/courses   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   Text Dan at (352 )251-0811   The ultimate playbook on selling digital products:  getclients.com/hearthustle Follow along: www.instagram.com/danhenry www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity

A few weeks ago we were chatting with a photographer friend about a heartbreaking horror story she had heard about. It inspired us to start chatting about wedding photography specific horror stories on our Instagrams. And the messages we got following the discussion were HEARTBREAKING AND DISGUSTING.    SOOOO many people sent messages about their experience with their wedding photographer that left a bad taste in their mouth and regret every time they looked at the photos from their wedding day.    It made us realize that we do NOT talk enough about client experience and treating people well in the service-based industry, especially the photography industry. About a month ago we did episode 104 which was chatting business horror stories in general. And today’s episode is more of the same - but this time specifically just within the wedding industry.     Show notes:http://theheartuniversity.com/112-business-hor…tography-edition/    www.theheartuniversity.com/shop https://theheartuniversity.com/content-minor   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.     Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity  

Now, for the entrepreneur out there who is burnt out, whose wheels have been spinning because you’re doing ALL the things. You’re a one-woman show and you're tired, you miss your kids, don’t have time for your spouse or partner? You started your business to give your life freedom but right now it feels like your business is running you?  If that’s you, my friend, we sat down for a conversation with Simon Severino to talk about how YOU can design a business that can run itself without you, which will increase your profit and scale your business more than you could ever imagine. Simon is the CEO of Strategy Sprints, Europe’s leading remote Growth Advisory. His global team of Certified Strategy Sprint coaches do only one thing: double the revenue of service-based businesses in 90 days.

It’s going to require you to loosen the tight fist you have on every aspect of your business. Simon breaks down why it’s SO important as an entrepreneur to stop thinking you're the star of the show, and instead switch to a galaxy mindset (you’ll understand that more when you listen!) He chats practical steps of what to do to get started expanding your team, what to look for when finding the right people for your team, and how to successfully replicate your magic.  If you’re sitting there in your solopreneur office, stressed out of your mind, but afraid to hire on a team of associates to expand your business? Simon is going to challenge you today because the reality is if you’re a service-based business and you’re just doing it yourself, there’s only SO far you can grow. So let’s get your life back and learn how to strategically build a team of avengers ready to take off into the galaxy!   Show notes: http://theheartuniversity.com/111-double-your-…h-simon-severino/   Better Help: www.betterhelp.com/heartandhustle   Save 10% off your first month with Better Help!    Contracts: www.theheartcontracts.com Use the link above for 10% off!   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   www.strategysprints.com/tools    Follow along: www.instagram.com/strategysprints www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity
