533: How She Funded Her Dream with Women-Only Investors
What would you do if you could do anything? Strip away fears, limitations, finances, criticisms, and roadblocks, and what would you do? That’s the question Lori Harder asked herself before launching a brand new business in a field she had zero experience. Lori made the big decision to only take on women investors to fund her new dream, and I’m so excited for her to share the vision and mission behind it all. This is a conversation about pivoting, jumping into something new and believing you can achieve it.

532: 7 Challenging Business Scenarios and How to Handle Them
It’s 2022 -- new year, new goals, maybe a new business? So many entrepreneurs (including us) are planners, but there’s really just one thing you can plan on as an entrepreneur -- uncertainty. The challenges you might face as we dive into a whole new year of business are unpredictable. But even though we can’t predict what challenges this year may bring, we can prepare by learning from the challenges other entrepreneurs have faced before us. Kylie compiled a list of some of the most common challenging business scenarios facing entrepreneurs, and we’re going to play a game of “What Would Jenna Do?”GOAL DIGGER FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/GOAL DIGGER INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/GOAL DIGGER SHOWNOTES: jennakutcherblog.com/bizscenarios

530: How I Approach Motherhood and CEO Life Now
I had the pleasure of sharing the mic with Krista Williams and Lindsey Simcik on their show, The Almost 30 Podcast. I really loved the chat so much that I asked if I could share that interview with you all on Goal Digger, so that’s exactly what you’re about to hear. I’m so grateful that Krista and Lindsey welcomed me to the Almost 30 podcast and let me share my motherhood and entrepreneurship experiences with their community. We explored what I learned from my losses, what it means to know when to hit the brakes and where to find the gas pedal, the dynamic when Drew went full-time stay at home dad, how we’re balancing and strategizing motherhood with a second child, the ways I’ve embraced my own evolution, and more.

528: SURPRISE! I Wrote a Book!
The truth is, I’ve had this folder in my Gmail titled: “If I Write a Book” for the last five years. Becoming an author would naturally come up in conversations here and there, and while the idea was certainly flattering, it never truly inspired me into action. It was always one of those “Maybe someday” ideas where I wasn’t totally convinced that someday would actually arrive. But then, a massage and a mouse changed everything.This is my big official announcement: I WROTE A BOOK. Hard to believe I’m saying those words after so many years of resisting the idea. This episode is the behind the scenes of my book writing journey, the moment that changed my thinking, and what you can expect from the first ever JK book.

526: 5 Things I Wish I Did Differently at the Start of My Business
Let’s talk about business regrets. Meaning… the things that I maybe did at the start of my business that I now have more information around and can say proudly that while I wouldn’t necessarily change any decisions I made, I can lament that I didn’t always make the “right” ones early on. If I can help anyone else in their first year or years of running a business avoid these things, then I want to be as open and honest as possible about them! Ya ready to live with no business regrets?GOAL DIGGER FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/GOAL DIGGER INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/GOAL DIGGER SHOWNOTES: jennakutcherblog.com/different

525: Waiting for Inspiration to Strike? Try this instead.
There’s an art to making sure that your creative well doesn’t run dry and that you come up with content that will truly capture your ideal clients’ attention. Waiting around for inspiration to strike isn’t efficient. As a seven-figure launch strategist, Destinee Berman knows plenty about content creation. On her busiest weeks, she will spend up to 15 hours recording podcast episodes, creating five-day challenges, filming live video and more. But she doesn’t do it on sheer will alone. Destinee will walk through developing a content creation strategy that works for you and keeps the ideas flowing so you can keep creating.

524: The One Thing I Do at the End of Every Year
It’s the end of the year and while most people are getting ready for January 1st and the calendar to turn, how are you spending this time before the year closes? For me, this time of year is about reflecting, assessing how I FEEL, and not just phoning in the remainder of the year but making it meaningful. Something that I always do in my business at the end of the year is take inventory of everything -- from accounting to content to energy and time spent, I look at the year as a whole and assess what will come with us into the new year, and what gets left behind.
