139: How To Stop Getting Hung Up On What To Offer
As entrepreneurs it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that until we’re clear on what we offer and until we have a product to sell, then there’s no use in showing up and sharing content online. But this couldn’t be further from the truth - in fact it’s a common misconception that keeps so many entrepreneurs stuck from ever really building momentum and growing their audience. We hold ourselves back because we think we need to have everything figured out, rather than giving ourselves permission to just show up, be of service and have meaningful conversations with the people in our community. Showing up when you have nothing to sell is one of the most powerful things you can do for your business and for your audience, so in this week’s episode I’m sharing some tips and a change in perspective that helped me to overcome this and I know it will help you too!

138: 7 Lessons I Learned From Growing My Team
A lot of us as entrepreneurs tend to be creative, ideas people. But you reach a point in your business when you can no longer do everything yourself and you have to hire people to help you. Apart from the challenge of finding the right people, growing a team also means putting systems in place, creating structures to make everything work, managing boundaries, expectations, emotions, conflicts and so much more. It also means that you naturally have to shift away from focusing on the creative side of your business and more towards figuring out the operational and people management side instead. So many entrepreneurs struggle with this when they first start growing their team, and when other people are involved, mistakes you make don’t only impact you, but your team members too. So in this episode I’m sharing with you the biggest mistakes I’ve made over the past few years of growing my team and the 7 biggest lessons I learned that I know will be really helpful for you if you’re looking to hire new people into your business. If you’d love more help growing a successful business in 2022, we have the most amazing new challenge planned that will help you turn your ideas into income and have the most incredible year ever!

When you have amazing ideas and big dreams, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, stuck or confused trying to make it all happen. And you’re not alone - it’s the same for each and every one of us!

134: The Best YouTube Strategy to Grow Your Business (With Sunny Lenarduzzi)
So many entrepreneurs want to create their own YouTube channel but don’t know where to start! If you have ever wondered how you could leverage YouTube to grow your business, you’re going to love this episode of the She Means Business Show! The amazing thing about YouTube is that your content lives on and works for years, it doesn’t just disappear after a few hours like it does on social media platforms! But the key thing to understand is that it’s different when you’re approaching YouTube as an entrepreneur as opposed to a creator or entertainer who wants to make money with Adsense. So in this episode I’m chatting with the amazing Sunny Lenarduzzi! She’s a social media consultant and business growth coach and has grown her YouTube channel to over 500,000 subscribers! When we wanted help to leverage YouTube for FEA, we bought her course because her information is so good, which is why I’m so excited for you to listen to this episode! In it we talk about: The 3 types of content that you need to create as an entrepreneur on YouTube. How Sunny started out on YouTube (completely by mistake!). The most important type of content you need to create as an entrepreneur (and how to generate leads on autopilot). Why viral content isn’t always a good thing (and how to use it properly). The metrics that really matter on YouTube (and it’s not the number of views!). How to come up with content topics. The formula for success on YouTube. The results you can expect when you focus on value instead of virality. Sunny shares so many amazing insights and strategies and if you want to learn more from her, you can find her at: http://workwithsunny.com/ YouTube: Sunny Lenarduzzi Instagram: @sunnylenarduzzi Also don’t forget to enter this week’s podcast giveaway!

133: Avoid Burnout in Business Through Biohacking (With Angela Foster)
Our businesses rely solely on us to become a success, so if we’re not well, healthy and fit and have the energy we need - we won’t be able to reach our goals and live the life we dream of. So many of us push ourselves so hard and focus so much of our energy on our businesses that we often forget to focus on ourselves. Which is why I’m so excited to be chatting to the incredible Angela Foster in this episode! Angela is a Health & Performance Coach and the stuff she teaches is incredible. In this episode we chat about how you can optimize your health and energy to build an even more successful business. Angela shares: Her story of chasing success, how that led to a complete burnout and the epiphany she had while lying in hospital. What biohacking is and why it can help us to not only be healthier but also build more successful businesses. Her SHIFT model for sustaining high energy, optimizing your health and avoiding burnout. Why sleep is so essential for wellbeing, creativity and success. How to get better results by planning your calendar around your menstrual cycle. Why you need to train your mind as much as you train your body and why gratitude plays such a huge part of this. This is such an incredible episode and I know you’re going to take so many tips away from it (and hopefully want to be kinder to yourself too!). Remember that we run a giveaway every week! To be in with a chance of winning an amazing stationery product from our Carrie & Co range, simply take a photo or screenshot of you listening to this episode, share it to your Instagram Stories and tag us @femaleentrepreneurassociation If you would like to find out more about biohacking and connect with Angela, here are the links she mentioned in this episode: High Performance Health Podcast Angelafosterperformance.com Yourtotalhealthcheck.com Instagram @angelasfoster

132: Find Your Purpose And Overcome Fear And Perfectionism (with Cathy Heller)
So many of us have amazing ideas but hold ourselves back from ever doing anything about them. We’re scared we’re not good enough, that it’s not the perfect idea, that people will judge us for it or that we will fail. We hold ourselves back and wait until we feel ready, until everything is perfect and we have the confidence to go for it. We doubt ourselves, question ourselves and keep playing small, never discovering what our true purpose is and how much is truly possible for each and every one of us. If you’ve been teetering on the edge of going for it, and you just need to know that it’s the right thing to do, then you’re going to love this episode I have for you with the incredible Cathy Heller! In this episode Cathy and I talk about so many things: Why the “perfect idea” doesn’t exist and what to do instead. How to overcome your negative thoughts, limiting beliefs and fears so that you can pursue your purpose and impact other people’s lives. How to build a successful membership that brings people together and creates amazing value. Why so many of us stay stuck in the same routines and why we all need to let ourselves break free. Why becoming a millionaire is easier than working a 9-5 and earning a salary. How your unique message is the key to growing the right audience. Why confidence is a lie and what you need instead. How to attract more abundance into your life and surrender even if you don’t have it all figured out. I hope this episode inspires you to take the first (or next!) step on your journey and remember that if you want more help to build a wildly successful business - we’re here for you every step of the way!
