Reviewing my goals throughout the year is a practice that has always been important--especially in a year like this one when there has been so much change and uncertainty. Today I'm taking you through the mid-year review that I'm personally doing for my life, my business, and my HEART. The goals that I set at the beginning of this year are not the same goals I'm working toward now (maybe you can relate) and that's ok. I hope you'll carve out some time to do this exercise with me! In this episode we talk about: The three areas in your life to review for a mid year check in Why it's okay if your goals look different than you had anticipated in January How you can use your core values to drive decision making Join our FREE Girl Gang connection calls, every Tuesday!

Today we are talking about how you can add extra income through freelancing! If you have ever wanted to dip your toe into entrepreneurship, OR if you've had to pivot your business recently and are looking for other ways to create revenue, freelancing may be the answer. My guest is Lisa Cumes, freelance copywriter and StoryBrand Guide who has made multiple six figures over the past two years through freelancing. She has a passion for helping freelancers stop hustling and start building a thriving, full-time business.

The past few weeks have been incredibly heavy for the world, especially for the black community. Like me, you've probably been listening, learning, and taking a deep look at how you and your business can play a part in creating change. The Powerhouse Women community will always be a place where we can have real and honest conversations, even when they may be tough conversations. So instead of a solo podcast this week I wanted you to hear from four dynamic women in our community--Des Dickerson, Alex Bradberry, Monique Bryan, and Sara Maria. This is the replay of a conversation we had on our weekly Zoom connection call about how businesses and individuals are stepping up to help end racial injustice. Not just right now, but more importantly--how we can keep the momentum going and be a part of real and lasting change even when it's not a trending topic in the media.

There are so many different social media platforms that it's easy to get overwhelmed trying to manage them all. If you are growing a business, one platform that you've probably considered is LinkedIn. Did you know that you can target the exact people that you want to get in front of so much easier on LinkedIn than on Facebook or Instagram? That is just ONE of the nuggets that I learned from my guest today, Katie Thomas. Katie is a CPA by trade and the founder of Leaders Online, where she helps professional service providers increase their influence, impact, & income through thought leadership marketing. We had her as a guest on one of our FREE weekly connection calls and I knew that I had to share the conversation with you as a podcast because it was packed with so much value. She also showed some helpful slides with this training, so this may be an episode that you want to watch on our YouTube channel as well. In this episode we talk about: Why LinkedIn is the number one place to grow your network & your biz How simple it is to get started on your LinkedIn strategy The 30 min process Katie uses with her clients to add an additional 100k to their annual revenue || CONNECT WITH XXX || instagram.com/katiethomascpa leaders-online.com || CONNECT WITH POWERHOUSE WOMEN || instagram.com/powerhouse_women instagram.com/llindseyschwartz facebook.com/groups/powerhousewomencommunity www.powerhousewomen.co

We are bringing you another BONUS episode this week, from one of our Girl Gang connection calls! This is the FREE call series we are doing via Zoom every Tuesday and Thursday. Today's topic is one I am really passionate about (and one that I've heard from a lot of women that they struggle with)--SALES. Whether its a fear of coming across as pushy, or just a lack of confidence around selling in general, this is an important topic to tackle because the world won't know about what you offer unless you tell them about it...aka sell it to them! My guest Cayla Craft is a master at sales, and her passion is to help women be shameless around pursuing their ambitions! She's the founder of Mommy Millionaire, and a former ER nurse turned million dollar entrepreneur. Our conversation was SO empowering, I couldn't wait to share it with you.
