She Means Business Show

As entrepreneurs, we’re constantly coming up against new struggles, challenges and things we don’t know the answer to. 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!  You need to remember that just because you feel overwhelmed or confused, it doesn’t mean you can’t become successful. Just because you aren’t making money right now, it doesn’t mean that you’re failing. A huge part of building a successful business is about becoming a creative problem solver and continuing to find the courage to keep taking inspired action... to keep growing and keep going.  So what do you do when you’re in that place? What do you do when you feel like you’re failing and you start to question whether the dreams you’ve been holding for yourself can ever become your reality? You need to hold on to those dreams that you have, your ideas and what you want to bring to life - because you can 100% make them work! If you’ve been feeling stuck, confused and tangled up, in this episode I want to share some simple but powerful things that have really helped me and that I know will help you to get into the right mindset and energy to make amazing things happen! If you’d love to learn more about overcoming your money blocks, check out this video right here >>

If you have a dream, idea or desire to create something amazing such as a book, a course, a membership or anything where you are making money doing something you love, and you just feel hopeless, in despair, like you’re not getting anywhere, this episode is for you! It feels dreadful to be stuck in that place, but I also know how to break through to the other side, tap into your zone of genius, get into the flow and succeed in what you dream of doing! I want to share with you my best tips for doing this. I’ve been stuck in the “valley of despair” so many times, but over the years there are a few things I’ve learned to do that make all the difference! So in this episode I wanted to chat to you about: The entry I wrote in my journal in February 2016 talking about how I was driving myself to despair over writing my book, She Means Business.  How I compare the effort of bringing my ideas to life to giving birth to a baby! Why feeling like you’re in the valley of despair is actually a really good sign. The first thing I always do when I start procrastinating and feel stuck in a rut.  My simple trick for tapping into your zone of genius. The tiny secret to making big progress.  I hope you love this episode and don’t forget that every week we do a giveaway where you can win something amazing from our Carrie & Co. shop and it’s super easy to enter!  Simply take a photo or screenshot of you listening to this episode, share it to your Instagram Stories and tag us @femaleentrepreneurassociation - you’ll be in with a chance of winning some amazing stationery so don’t miss out!

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!

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!

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!

As business owners and leaders, we have a responsibility to play our part in creating more diversity, inclusivity and equality in our businesses. We’re entering a new world where businesses that aren’t creating that diversity and inclusion for their customers and their communities are going to get left behind. We need to understand what building an anti-racist business truly looks like and the work that each and every one of us needs to do to create a better world. So in this episode I’m chatting to the amazing Trudi Lebron! Trudi is a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Coach and works with businesses, coaches and entrepreneurs and in this episode she’s sharing some things you can do as a business owner, to build an amazing business. In this episode we talk about: - How Trudi discovered a need for Diversity and Inclusion coaching in the online coaching and personal development world. - Why building an anti-racist business that focuses on diversity, equality and inclusion is so important and why it’s so needed. -The steps you can take as a business owner and entrepreneur to create an environment of inclusivity and equality in your business. - The biggest shifts that we’re likely to see happening over the next few years. How to broaden your horizons and connect with more people of colour in your industry.

Sign up to the 12 week Create & Sell program here at fea.link/create I know that so many of us have these amazing ideas and desires to create something really successful but we’re teething on the edge of really going for it. So often we have great ideas, but it feels so overwhelming to actually create anything!  We go from feeling inspired to talking ourselves out of it and making up all sorts of reasons for why it wouldn’t have worked out anyway.  Over the years there have been so many times where I’ve had amazing ideas but the fear of doing anything about it was just too big, so I just did nothing. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling stuck like this, this episode is for you! In this episode I’m sharing with you: Why the ideas you have are exactly right for you. How my friend Kate started a successful business from home using her creativity and Instagram to grow and make thousands of sales. How Michelle’s multiple 6-figure business started with a simple printable on Etsy. How to come up with amazing ideas you can create and sell and  the steps to make them happen.  The struggle and overwhelm I had to get over to create the Female Entrepreneur Association after I had the idea.    I hope you love this episode and that it inspires you and gets you fired up to start working on bringing an idea to life today!

Sign up to the Create & Sell programme at fea.link/create ! A lot of us get hung up on the fear that no one will buy from us, that we don’t know how to find our ideal customers and that we have no idea how to sell. If you’re feeling scared that no one will buy from you, you’re not alone because the majority of us have this fear! Back when I started the Members’ Club I was terrified that no one would want to join, that I would be doing all that work for nothing and that I would never manage to make it a success.  Even being unsure about what price to charge kept me stuck and feeling overwhelmed for so long! I know that when it comes to selling we get all these mindset blocks that slow us down and even completely derail us! Which is why in this episode I’m sharing: Why confidence has nothing to do with it, and what you need to focus on instead. The money mindset shift you need to make that will help you feel less salesy. How to prove to yourself that people will buy from you.  How to look behind the scenes of your competitors’ businesses, see what they are selling and what’s working.
