MORE ALIVE PODCAST | with Andrea Crowder

Don't mistake today's episode, just because it's short doesn't mean it doesn't have depth. 😉 I was doing a live Q&A in my program called The Pleasure Model™ the other week, and there were a couple of Q&A that I was like, gosh, it would be so good to bring these to the podcast. This one in particular is a really, really common question that even some of my clients who have been in the business for a really long time seem to get a little bit of a mental stuckness around. And that's “what do you do when you've been off social for a little while? How do you start launching again? How do you start selling again?” Join in The Pleasure Model™ - use code PODCASTTPM for an exclusive discount!

How I proved that you don't have to be born fortunate to build a fortune. 🎶 Allow me to reintroduce myself… 🎶 I know so many of you are new here and I wanted to re-share this podcast episode where I give you my whole life story (so far…) in one place. I talk about my life before I started my first business, below poverty childhood, becoming a stripper to pay for college, how becoming a mother changed my life, questioning societal norms and beliefs, evolving spiritual beliefs, and everything that has made an impact in THE UNRULE/Y ENTREPRENEUR brand, and the business mogul you see today!

My good friend Chris Goodwin interviewed me on his podcast, Bourbon & Breakthroughs, because he saw me make a post a few months ago where I just simply said, "I won't take a penny from pressure, only pleasure" this was before I even came out with my program called The Pleasure Model. In this interview he asked me a lot of really great questions of how I operate and run my business in this way so I wanted to share this interview on here because we get into practical ways this value is withheld in my business. He even asks the question “what if I can’t afford to turn down business?” You will hear him ask me about a particular bourbon we were drinking and by the end of the episode we are giggling and having lots of fun!

In this episode, Andrea, Coach and Podcast Host, addresses the belief of not being smart enough to start a business. She suggests adopting the mindset of a scientist, observing what works and what doesn't. Beta testing and proof of concept are important in the early stages, as is using measurable metrics. She also discusses the value of curiosity, continuously testing and tweaking strategies, and focusing on strengths for growth.

One of the things that I'm really well known for is doing the most with the least. And so what I want to share with you guys the tools that I wouldn't want to operate my business without. These are the things that we use to serve our community in the best way right now using ease, automation, and fun! Once I saw the satisfaction rates of my clients increase, the consumption rates of what they paid for increase, then the fact that they were coming back to it to go through the program again and again, this was cherry on top energy! I am obsessed and want to share the behind the scenes things that we use to operate my million dollar business that costs around $200 in operation expenses! I know it sounds crazy right?

The very first time I ever walked into a Louboutin store to buy my very first pair of red bottoms I had dreamt about it, I had researched, I knew exactly what pair I wanted, and I knew what store they would be in, and I walked in. I flew to New York City to have it be a whole experience. Now, mind you guys, like I'm the girl who grew up in a trailer, one bedroom trailer that my dad and step mom slept in. We walk in and I am just filled with anxiety. My stomach is just a complete wreck and I'm like, “They're going to know I was the girl who grew up in the trailer. They're going to know I don't belong here. They're going to know I'm not like a multi-millionaire. They're going to know I don't come from wealth.” Everybody feels like an imposter, like they don't belong somewhere. If it's somewhere that they've never been or never spent a lot of time in. But I'm like, I kind of hope they know because the second that I feel like this is just normal for me or whatever. That’s the second that it starts to lose the magic. I never want to lose the magic!

There's an interesting debate happening in the entrepreneurial world around do we need pressure in order to succeed? Do we need to learn how to be able to sustain pressure in order to have the success that we want in business? And I understand why this conversation is happening, and I want to be a leader in it because I think I have a unique perspective that's going to be so useful to you. Being able to not only have all the success that you want in your business, all the impact that you want in your business, but being able to sustain it. A lot of people are thinking like, well, pressure is helpful, I need it to move. But is that pressure coming at a cost? And how much will it cost over time? “If you are working on something you really care about you won’t have to be pushed the vision will pull you.” - Steve Jobs Get the Collapsing Time Visualization; click here!

“Burned out business owners, burn down businesses” - Lauren Goldstein I brought Lauren Goldstein, Business Advisor & founder of Golden Key Partnership, onto this episode because one of the things that we both agree on is how easy it can be to get your business to where you think you want it to go, and then you realize you've built yourself into a little bit of like a bougie prison. Lauren is a consultant and really great at teaching people methods to be able to, I would say, build themselves out of the business.

In this episode I bring to you a conversation with one of my long time clients Taylor Simpson. Taylor is a Soul Activator, Podcast Host and founder of UNTAMED. This is like a peek into our what it sounds like when we talk on our coaching calls. But what I wanted to talk with Taylor on the podcast is we have been working together for a really long time and because we're so much in each other's energy all the time. It's crazy how we get the same downloads at the same time, and all of a sudden Taylor will come to me and she'll be like, “I’m creating this program called KNOWN. And I'm like, Oh my God, I have a program called KN/OWN that's coming out” we've done this twice now that it has become kind of eerie. But I swear, we're just riding the same vibrational wave and grabbing downloads. And what I wanted to share is neither one of us have ever backed down from our programs, and we've never felt competition around names, branding or whatever. And we've both we've literally launched at the same time! “It’s never been a competition because we are all working of universal wisdom.” Listen in on our thoughts of creating, launching, and selling similar offers.
