How to deal with people who don't support your business or believe in your ability to succeed

Are you sick of people asking you when you’re going to get a “real job?”  Are you frustrated that your friends and family never share your business on their social media pages?  Irritated that they aren’t hiring or purchasing from you? How about your spouse? Are they supportive of your entrepreneurial path or do they make it incredibly difficult for you to do what needs to be done to grow your business?  If you’ve struggled with getting support from the people you care about the most, you aren’t alone. I hear this same scenario described by countless entrepreneurs - some who feel like the only answer is to shut down their business or end the relationship!  Today, I dive into this topic head first and drop some truth bombs about what may or may not be an actual lack of support. By the end of this episode you’ll know what you can do to communicate in a way that enables your entire network to provide you with meaningful support!   In today’s episode, I’m sharing: Some personal stories from you about the impact lack of support has in your business and relationships My family’s reactions when I told them I quit my job as a lawyer to become a dating coach How hanging out in front of a college dorm strengthened my belief in my business My mom’s surprising reaction when I asked if she’d be on this episode The four mistakes entrepreneurs make that can keep them from getting crucial support The real reason why people don’t understand what you do Ways you can tell if the problem is lack of support or poor communication The mindset shift that took my client from being ready to leave her marriage or shut down her business, to increasing her business profits by 75% in just six months while receiving incredible support from her husband who became her biggest advocate Tangible actions you can start taking today to help you get the support you really want The introduction of a brand new segment How YOU can tell my audience about your business   and so much more!   Join me in my FREE private Facebook community, the All-In entrepreneur, to  share your takeaways and continue the conversation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theallinentrepreneur/   Connect with me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/ritagoodroe    Schedule a complimentary 30 minute clarity call with me: https://RitaMadeMeDoit.as.me/claritycall Want to submit YOUR story of going all-in on your business?  Just send an audio recording (no longer than 1.5 minutes) to us at feedback@RitaMadeMeDOit.com - don’t forget to tell us your name, the name of your business, who you help and how you help them and what going all-in on your business means for you (as well as ONE way people can find out more)!

Talking About Marriage, Entrepreneurship and Communication: Sean McMullin on Getting the Support You Need to Thrive

Today I’m talking with Sean McMullin as he shares openly about his experience as the spouse of an entrepreneur, how he ended up co-founding a company with his wife and how they navigate a world in which they live together AND work together!  He also shares his advice for receiving the support you need from family and friends!   Sean McMullin is the co-founder of Yellow House Media, a full-service podcast production agency & consultancy that he owns with his wife, Tara. Sean, a then distribution manager at a brewery in Oregon, met Tara, owner of a small business consultancy, on OkCupid and it wasn’t long before Sean found himself swirling around in the world of entrepreneurship.  Shortly thereafter, he took on the role of producing Tara’s podcast, “What Works” and recently they both made the leap and started their own business, Yellow House Media. Sean is the lead consultant for production and management and specializes in building efficient procedures, effective guest management, quality audio production, and editorial management. He brings his background in writing, photography, and underground media to every show he produces.  Sean loves getting out in the woods as much as possible and has a goal to visit all 59 national parks with his wife by 2027.   This episode is for you if you want to learn:   How to navigate the situation where a partner, friend or family member doesn’t understand entrepreneurship. Why a Mastermind can save your relationship. The key to a strong marriage. How Sean ensures that he is showing up in his marriage, business and the world in the way he wants. Two outdated concepts that hold women entrepreneurs back, what needs to change and how to be part of the transformation. The importance of boundaries and how to set them in personal and professional relationships. One thing to do when you need to reset as a couple. The first step to take if you are considering starting a podcast. A question to ask yourself to make taking a risk in your business easier.     And so much more!

How Leaps of Faith Helped Dawn Barton Beat Cancer, Build a Seven-Figure Business and Cultivate Unstoppable Joy

Two years ago Dawn Barton was a top ten sales director for one of the world’s biggest direct sales brands. Her picture was on a billboard in Times Square and her team was closing in what would prove to be over a million in sales for the year – placing them among only a handful of women in company history to achieve that milestone. All this, despite a steady beat of personal challenges through recent years, including unimaginable heartache and stage 3 breast cancer.   Today, Dawn is an author, a speaker, an entrepreneur and a mentor, empowering women in their professional and personal lives. Her extraordinary journey has also made her a self-proclaimed Joyologist. Having achieved happiness and success in even her darkest days, Dawn believes in the power of finding joy through difficulty; each obstacle should not be cause to quit, but rather another reason to be successful.   In today’s episode, we’re diving into: Dawn’s new book, “Laughing Through the Ugly Cry”  The calling she received to become an author Going all-in on your goals and how doing this helped Dawn to build a seven-figure business in direct sales The mindset shift Dawn made to skyrocket herself to quickly become a top ten sales director for one of the world’s biggest direct sales brands Dawn’s favorite tools to keep her mindset empowered and prioritize self-care, even during the toughest season of her life And so much more!

How Paul C. Brunson Turned a YouTube Video Series into a Multi-Million Dollar Business

Join us in this episode for the conclusion of my discussion with the amazing Paul C. Brunson, as we dive into everything from Oprah to family.   Paul Carrick Brunson is a serial entrepreneur, television host, speaker, and author whose specialty lies in teaching others how to live and lead authentically. An internationally recognized expert in interpersonal relationships, personal development, and entrepreneurship, he currently serves as a featured business columnist for USA Today and co-host of UK’s Celebs Go Dating television show.   Major media outlets such as Good Morning America, the Oprah Winfrey Network, The Today Show, Nightline, and Black Enterprise have sought Paul’s insights on everything from finding love to pursuing your passion. Named as a Top Voice on LinkedIn and one of the world’s most influential matchmakers, Oprah said herself that, “Paul is much more than a matchmaker.”   The heart of his work is centered on impacting lives through mentorship and developing a new generation of servant-leaders with a desire to change the world. Paul is the founder and chair of “Give Love, Build Hope” – a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming schools in rural areas of the Caribbean. A proud son of his native Jamaica, Paul’s greatest achievements are in his roles of husband and father. When he’s not serving the world, he’s serving his family – likely with a Red Stripe beer in one hand and a good book in the other.   In this episode, Paul and I are sharing: How a small time YouTube series led to a job co-hosting on TV with Oprah and ultimately a super successful matchmaking company The lessons he learned from other uber successful people that he has embodied into his own life How doing pro bono work when starting your business can actually pay off for you His family priorities and how he and his family are living life unconventionally as well The things that have allowed Paul and his wife to build and run multiple successful businesses and still have tons of time for quality time with their kids His ‘secret sauce” to relationships Paul’s tips for how to get started and rock your own entrepreneurial journey His podcast playlist And so much more!
