In a predominantly male industry, Courtney Dyer, financial expert and podcast host, is on a mission to get women a seat at the financial table. She is passionate about teaching women how to rewrite their money scripts, so they can achieve financial freedom of their own. In today’s episode, Courtney sits down with host Vanessa Shaw to make seemingly complex topics such as personal finances, debt, and investments more approachable.   For example, Courtney explains that investing often seems more complicated than it is due to the abundance of information available. A quick Google search will yield millions of results, each advertising different suggestions about how and where to invest. According to Courtney, most of the information out there is untrue, especially the myth that investing is only for people with money. Investing is an option for anyone, no matter their economic status or educational background! But before you go to open an investment account you must do two things: pay off any high-interest debt and create sustainable spending plans that support both your long-term and short-term goals.   Tune into this week’s episode of Get Rich Without Being a Bitch for a conversation with Courtney about opening more doors to financial representation for women.  Learn more about the steps you need to take to invest wisely, how to initiate open conversations about finances with your partner, and how you can enjoy your money both now and in the future!   Quotes • “Women need more representation and they need to feel heard and to be able to have a seat at the table, and that is my passion and my mission.” (04:36-04:47) • “Only 10% of our conscious mind interacts with us daily and 90% is subconscious. Our money beliefs are in that 90% subconscious, so you have to work very hard to break those bad cycles.”  (06:50- 07:07)  • “Make sure you’re maxing out your retirement accounts that are tax-advantaged. Meaning you contribute the money prior to paying taxes, that way you’re saving money on your taxes and you’re also investing funds. It’s like a double whammy!”  (11:46- 11:58)  • “Making sure you have eliminated all high-interest debt prior to investing is really critical because it is going to do you more good to eliminate that debt than investing into the market would.” (15:30- 15:41)  • “We need to enjoy our money now and in the future, and you absolutely can do both.” (24:45-24:49)   Links Connect with Courtney Dyer: Email: financiallyfreejourneypodcast@gmail.com  Website: https://www.financiallyfreejourney.com/  Social Media Handles: @financiallyfreejourney   Follow Vanessa Shaw on Instagram   Vanessa Shaw on LinkedIn https://businessgrowthacademy.com/ Join The Million Dollar Group on Facebook   Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing

Get Rich Without Being A B#tch

Being Financially Free

Christy Whitman, multi-time bestselling author and founder of the Quantum Success Academy, has always been enamored with the finer things in life, particularly designer bags. As a young woman, she promised herself she would reach a point where she would have total freedom to purchase and enjoy the things she wanted. Yet, when Christy finally reached the point where she could buy her dream purse, a nagging voice in her head told her, “That is so materialistic.” So, where was that voice coming from? Why did it feel “wrong” to enjoy something that served as a symbol of how far Christy had come in her life?    It was this a-ha moment that served as Christy’s inspiration for her latest book The Desire Factor, in which she shows readers how to bring any desire into physical form without guilt. According to Christy, there is no limit to the amount of happiness we can experience, since the universe has the capability to bring whatever we desire to fruition. While many of us may have been taught to experience shame around feelings of desire, these desires are there for a reason, as they connect us to our divine selves!   Tune into this episode of Get Rich Without Being a Bitch for a conversation with Christy Whitman about the spiritual power of desire. Learn how to embrace your materialistic nature, transform your feelings of limitation into feelings of abundance and master your energy so you can create a life that you love living!    Quotes “In that moment, holding [the purse] that was such a symbol of success, hearing, ‘That’s so materialistic,’ I went, ‘It’s a material thing, yes, but how is that bad? Look who I became in the process!’” (7:22-7:34) “Having money is not the end all, be all. It's the feeling that money gives, the freedom, the security, the choices, the options. You get to be free to walk into a store if you want to or to give generously to a nonprofit. There's so many ways you can use money for yourself, but if we close off, we are closing off the opportunity to also give.” (14:04- 14:28)  “Greed is the root of all evil, not money.” (16:22-16:24)  “Those deep desires of wanting to have impact and create change are soul desires, and you cannot deny those because that will cause you to suffer.” (22:18- 22:30)   Links Connect with Christy Whitman: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/christywhitmaninternational/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christywhitman1/  Website: https://christywhitman.com/    Follow Vanessa Shaw on Instagram   Vanessa Shaw on LinkedIn https://businessgrowthacademy.com/ Join The Million Dollar Group on Facebook    Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing

And what you want is on the other side of that terror barrier, and you’ve got to get through it. And there are four ways to do that….The one you really want to do is holding that vision because that vision is like armor. If you can see it, touch it, smell it, feel it, if you know exactly what it’s like, it is like a bubble that will let you walk through fire.” (10:40-11:45) • “Instead of being panicked, instead of being reactive, all of these numbers are about helping you become proactive.

From Panic to Profit: How 6 Key Numbers® Can Make a 6-Figure Difference in Your Business

“I fundamentally believe that if you have a story or a skillset that can make someone’s life better, it’s your obligation as a person to share that,” says Whitney McDuff, PR Strategist, Speaker and Founder of Whitney McDuff Consulting. As a PR consultant, Whitney has worked with her fair share of clients whose lack of confidence holds them back. Whitney excels in helping these individuals implement simple yet impactful branding strategies, so they can realize their full potential and share their gifts with the world.    Whitney first started her consulting business as a side hustle, but it quickly became a full-time gig. While many entrepreneurs struggle to find clients, Whitney had the opposite problem: her client base was growing far quicker than she could keep up with it. On the brink of burnout, she enlisted Vanessa to help her repackage her offerings and establish better boundaries. By taking this step, she gained more time, she rediscovered the joy in her work and her business exploded!   Tune into this week’s episode of Get Rich Without Being a Bitch for a conversation with Whitney about the power of PR and owning your value. Learn about the importance of pitching to people not publications, how to repurpose your content for a greater impact and why surrounding yourself with people who are where you want to be is the key to long-term success. Most importantly, learn why PR doesn’t have to be complex, expensive and inaccessible; in fact, it’s often the simplest solutions that yield the greatest results.   Quotes • “When you start running your own business, there is some radical accountability and responsibility that comes with that because you’re it. Every success is yours, every failure is yours, there’s no one else to blame, there’s no one else to shoulder that with.” (4:59-5:12) • “It was really coming to a point...where it was all good things that were happening, so I felt almost a little bit guilty, feeling bad for needing help. I don’t know if that’s just a thing that women go through; it’s a terrible habit that we have. But everything was starting to suffer. My health couldn’t maintain that, my mind couldn’t maintain that. I was just really starting to reach a point where I was about to hit burnout.” (8:15-8:46) • “I’m saying that I value self-care, I value my family, I value my friends, I value all of these things, but my calendar was absolutely not reflecting that.” (11:00-11:10) • “We have so much access to information now….Now, you can see what everyone in your world is doing all the time, and it causes a lot of, ‘Am I good enough to do this? Do I have a story worth telling?’....And the reason my company started was because I fundamentally believe that if you have a story or a skillset that can make someone’s life better, I think it’s your obligation as a person to share that.” (19:50-20:16) • “Always think about what’s going on, what are people already talking about, what is the need that you’re solving and the story that you’re telling that’s going to help shift someone’s life and make it better. That’s what we always want to think about in a pitch.” (25:20-25:33) • “Sometimes it just takes the right moment, the right mindset and the right message to really change someone’s life. So reshare your content! Because you have new people that haven’t seen it or maybe the way that you address it in the second pitch resonates with someone.” (36:23-36:39)   Links To learn more about Whitney McDuff, visit: https://thepowerofproteus.com/    Follow Vanessa Shaw on Instagram   Vanessa Shaw on LinkedIn https://businessgrowthacademy.com/ Join The Million Dollar Group on Facebook    Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing

Owning My Value, Establishing Boundaries and My Business Exploded!

“Money affects all parts of our life if we don’t have a handle on it,” says Kelsa Dickey, CEO & Founder of Fiscal Fitness. Kelsa has made it her life mission to help people get control over their finances, so they can lead more fulfilling and healthier lives. Kelsa learned from her parents that your level of life satisfaction is less connected to how much money you make than it is how you choose to spend it. While her mother was frugal and perpetually stressed about funds, her father spent liberally on things that were deemed “popular” and “trendy.” At the end of the day, neither of her parents was truly fulfilled. Kelsa admits that she, too, has undergone her fair share of money blocks while building her company to its current level of success. For example, the belief that making too much money in her business would make her kids entitled initially prevented her from reaching her full potential. However, Kelsa has since come to understand the strength of her personal values, which have informed how she chooses to spend her money, how she runs her business, and how she interacts with her family. In fact, a few years ago, she and her husband created the “Dickey Family Creed,” which reminds them and their two daughters to embody their fundamental values no matter what the situation. Tune into this week’s episode of Get Rich Without Being a Bitch to learn more about Kelsa’s perspective on what it means to live richly and how she incorporates this outlook into her own life. Plus, you won’t want to miss out on hearing Kelsa’s “Dickey Family Creed,” which may inform how you and your family choose to keep sight of your morals through thick and thin! Join Kelsa and host Vanessa Shaw to learn more about creating the life you truly want to live. Quotes “Money affects all parts of our life if we don’t have a handle on it. And so, I wanted to help people get control of their money, so that they could actually focus and give their attention to things that really matter in life.” (3:46-3:59) “Money by itself is not the most important thing. You can have millions of dollars and be miserable….If you, however, have money and are being intentional with it and you are using it in a way that brings you more fulfillment in life and putting it behind what’s most important to you...then it can actually boost your satisfaction overall. It can actually be a tool that helps you accomplish your dreams and live your life exactly as you want to as opposed to not having tons of options.” (5:17-5:53) ”I don’t think that the way business works is that it’s ‘learn and then do.’ I think that it’s ‘do and then learn.’” (12:15-12:21) “Your stress or your satisfaction in your life with money is not actually connected to how much you’re making. It’s connected to how you are spending it.”  (18:39-18:48) “I am a financial coach, I do this work for a living, and I have money blocks, too….Mine was that if I make too much money in my business, then my children will grow up spoiled, entitled, not nice kids.” (29:39-30:02) “As one control enthusiast to another...done is better than perfect because I think if we’re so focused on it being perfect, you will not get your dream out there.

Everyone Has Money Blocks, Even Financial Coaches!

“The rise in women philanthropy is now,” says Jarrett Ransom, CEO and Founder of the Rayvan Group. As a self-proclaimed Non-profit Nerd, Jarrett is a powerhouse strategist for major non-profit organizations. But her story wasn’t always so rosy. Jarrett’s giving spirit comes, in part, from the fact that once was a single mom in need of financial support.  In 2009, Jarrett worked for a major non-profit with a $21 million operating budget. But the financial crisis hit hard - she had to lay off her entire team, and then she got laid off six months later. Soon after she found out she was pregnant. Jarrett launched her own business to support her new family, but she was struggling. She had to go on food stamps and government support. Then one day, in the grocery store, her mindset shifted. She decided she wouldn’t be a victim of her fate. She would survive this.  Since then, Jarrett has worked hard with many coaches, including Vannessa, to change her money story, and help her business thrive. Now, as her business continues to grow, she loves nothing more than seeing women in philanthropy put their money, time, and talents into organizations they love.    Quotes: “Our childhood plays a really big role in our stories.” “I found myself, about ten years ago now, really at rock bottom with finances, with confidence, with clarity, with self-esteem, you name it. I was just not at the top of my game. I did find myself on food stamps and every other government support that exists.” (6:27-6:48)  Links: https://therayvangroup.com/    Follow Vanessa Shaw on Instagram   Vanessa Shaw on LinkedIn https://businessgrowthacademy.com/ Join The Million Dollar Group on Facebook    Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing

From Food Stamps to Needing New Tax Strategies

“Your story is a story,” says Jen Coken, coach and imposter syndrome expert. Jen has spent her career helping people identify the moments when their stories about themselves limit their performance at work and in life. And the primary source of those faulty stories? Imposter syndrome.  Imposter syndrome is a struggle that more than 70% of people struggle with. It’s the idea that we don’t deserve the success that we have -- that somehow, we aren’t actually the right person for the job. The root of imposter syndrome is often shame and embarrassment, and it usually can be traced back to moments early in our lives. But when we continue to act based on the flawed idea that we are imposters, we are letting our inner hurt child run the show.  From perfectionism to being unable to advocate for ourselves, this episode of Get Rich Without Being a Bitch exposes the many ways imposter syndrome can rear its ugly head -- and what we can do about it.    Quotes: They estimate that 70% of all people suffer from it. I, having been a coach for so long and coached people, from high school students to members of congress, and everyone I come across has some form of imposter syndrome. And I say that if you don’t have some form of it, you’re not stretching yourself enough. You’re not not risking yourself enough. (2:37-2:59) “My whole career was spent helping people go after their dreams, to the point where I didn’t know what my own were.” (27:19-27:27)  Links https://www.jencoken.com/  http://businessgrowthacademy.com/  Follow Vanessa Shaw on Instagram   Vanessa Shaw on LinkedIn Join The Million Dollar Group on Facebook  Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing

Turn Imposter Syndrome into Your Superpower

“I didn’t realize everyone else knew I was drowning as much as I was,” says Sarah Rosten, Founder and CEO of Pediatric Interactions. In this frank conversation with host Vannessa Shaw, Sarah talks about how she went from a failing business to a million-dollar practice in the span of just a year -- and in the middle of the pandemic.  In February 2020, Sarah and Vannessa had a difficult phone call. Sarah’s business plan was fundamentally flawed. She had maxed out her credit cards, her business and personal lines of credit, and had even taken $80k out of her own retirement fund -- all while not paying herself a living wage. But that phone call sparked a dramatic change in Sarah’s outlook. She knew she needed to make changes to her business, but that wasn’t it. She also needed to change her mindset - starting with how she viewed herself and her role in the company.  From a woman who struggled to call herself the CEO to a multi-million dollar business owner who is thriving during COVID while providing top-notch speech therapy services to children and their families, Sarah is proof that mindset can make all the difference. Tune in this week to hear Sarah’s story, and the lessons she learned along the way from a supportive community of female entrepreneurs.   Quote: "I had huge guilt. I was taking money out of my family’s pocket. I was next going to my kids’ college fund to make payroll. I was, in essence, stealing from my family.” (13:14-13:30) “I really had to start looking at the stories I was telling myself” (20:28-20:31)   Links: https://www.pediatricinteractions.com/   Follow Vanessa Shaw on Instagram   Vanessa Shaw on LinkedIn   Join The Million Dollar Group on Facebook  Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing  

From maxed out credit cards to giving herself a 48% raise

“Everything has to do with wealth, not just your money,” says Meghann Conter, CEO and Founder of The Dames and business woman extraordinaire. On this episode of Get Rich Without Being a Bitch, host Vanessa Shaw talks with Meghann about her community of female entrepreneurs with six- and seven-figure businesses, and what inspired her to start looking at networking as an opportunity to collaborate, learn, and grow both personally and professionally. Meghann started the Dames after more than seven years of fruitless networking. She realized she was wasting time - and she wanted to facilitate a safe community for women to learn from each other and grow as people and entrepreneurs. Now, the Dames has more than 400 members internationally, and is on target to double that number in 2021. But for Meghann, it wasn’t always an easy journey. Her work in the Dames requires her to continually do personal work -- and that’s part of what she loves about it. Tune in for a rich conversation about the struggles women face as they search for authentic professional communities, how Meghann overcame her money story and started talking to her husband about what it feels like to be the breadwinner, and the secret to achieving growth not just in your bank account, but across the many facets of your life. Quotes:"She said to me... Meghann you do know your value is not in what you do but who you be" (28.15-28:20)“Everything has to do with wealth, not just your money.” (29:44-29:49) Links:To find out more about the Dames go to www.thedames.coFollow Vanessa Shaw on Instagram  Vanessa Shaw on LinkedInJoin The Million Dollar Group on Facebook Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing 

Changing the Conversation About Women, Money & Collaboration

“All of a sudden, I realized my inner five year old was running the show,” says Vanessa Shaw in this episode of How to Get Rich Without Being a Bitch. She explains how she used her experience as an executive coach with a focus on cultivating emotional intelligence to conquer her own triggers: namely, shame and anxiety around money. As human beings, Vanessa explains, we are hard-wired to avoid pain and seek out instant gratification. Addressing our fear is uncomfortable, so we avoid it. But the long-term consequences of doing that are enormous. For Vanessa, the consequences of avoiding her hard feelings around money included inconsistent pricing, discounting her services unnecessarily, and not having hard conversations with clients or vendors when they didn’t deliver as promised. Tune in to this episode to learn more about how going deep into your past and identifying the root of your anxieties can help you build a better future -- for yourself and your business.  Quotes:“We often get trapped in this cycle of short-term gain over long-term pain.” (3:05-3:15)“All of a sudden, I realized my inner five year old was running the show when it came to all things money, and it was time for me to finally grow up as a business owner.” (14:26-14:40)Links:Follow Vanessa Shaw on Instagram  Vanessa Shaw on LinkedIn Join The Million Dollar Group on Facebook Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing

My Inner 5 Year Old was Running the Show!

“How do creative people make decisions?” This is the question that Sam Bennett, speaker and best-selling author seeks to uncover in her work as a career and life coach for creatives. Sam defines herself as an accidental entrepreneur - she fell into her work when she realized how many sensitive, creative people like her needed guidance to find the right path. She helps highly creative people tune into what they want to do, and get that work into the world. Though our predominant cultural message is “You can’t make money doing what you love,” Sam has made a living proving otherwise. For Sam, creative doesn’t mean artistic. Being creative is a natural interest, adeptness, or ability to solve problems in a certain area -- you can be creative as a plumber, a designer, or a database architect. Sam talks with host Vanessa Shaw about valuing your work, both emotionally and financially, and how her own struggle with depression and anxiety shaped her business and her corporate policies. She insists on the healing power of self care - whether that means sweating it out at the gym or buying an expensive pair of shoes that make you feel powerful. At the end of the day, she reminds us, “You are the engine pulling that train.”Quotes: “I started to succeed fairly early, mostly because I didn't know it was supposed to be hard.” (3:35)“Undercharging is a lie. You are misrepresenting the value of what you do.”“My personal beliefs become my corporate policies.”“Dealing with depression has made me a better entrepreneur because I don't wait to feel good to do things.”Links: Join Sam’s Mailing list here.Order Sam’s Books  Follow Vanessa Shaw on Instagram  Vanessa Shaw on LinkedInJoin The Million Dollar Group on Facebook Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing

The Healing Power of an Expensive Pair of Shoes

“Here’s what I’m worth, here’s what I demand.” These are words that many women struggle to say - and that’s the subject of today’s real and raw conversation about women and money with Pamela Brooks, Organizational Development Consultant at Arizona State University. As a human performance specialist, Pamela studies how to help people and organizations reach their full potential. In this chat, she focuses on the research behind women, money, and performance. Pamela’s childhood experiences with money had nothing to do with growth potential. She was raised by hard-working parents without college degrees who taught her to pay cash, avoid debt, and ignore the divide between the “haves” and the “have-nots.” In her career, Pamela struggled to step up and ask for what she was worth -- and it wasn’t until she realized what a difference it made for other women that she began demanding higher pay. In a study about pay negotiation at Stanford, Penn State, and Harvard, women often had more advanced degrees and experience, but didn't ask for more money, while men consistently asked for higher pay. Why is this? Pamela dives into the emotions and logic that play into pay gaps, including fear of judgement from other women around asking for higher salaries.Pamela reminds us that it’s about more than just our own paychecks: “If you don’t demand what you’re worth, it’s going to make it harder for every female that comes after you.” Tune in to hear the real deal about women, money, and knowing your worth. Quotes: “Here’s what I’m worth, here’s what I demand.” (6:15-6:18)“If you don’t demand what you’re worth, it’s going to make it harder for every female that comes after you” (7:20-7:25)“With that lack of confidence and that fear, we pull ourselves away from the support we need to become larger.”“It doesn't matter what path we’ve taken in our careers, when we get to a certain point, we’re worth the same amount.”Links: Follow Vanessa Shaw on Instagram  Vanessa Shaw on LinkedInJoin The Million Dollar Group on Facebook Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing

Know Your Worth: Women & Money

Though on the outside she looked like a jet-setter, for a few months, Vanessa’s life was in shambles. She shares her story of realizing that her love-hate relationship with money was going to cause her to lose her business if she didn’t big changes -- and fast.  By exploring her history with money, including the shame of struggling with math in primary school and watching her mother slave over her budget trying to feed their family of six, Vanessa was able to change her feelings about money, which ultimately helped shape her success story.  Learn how exploring your own emotional attachment to money can open up a world of success and possibility.   Quotes:“How could I have had so much success and now be staring at this massive money mess” “Well people like us just don’t have that type of money.” Links:The Business Growth Academy Website:https://businessgrowthacademy.com/ Vanessa Shaw on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/vcshaw/ Join The Million Dollar Group on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheMillionDollarGroup/ Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketinghttps://meetfireside.com/podcast-production/

My Own Money Story

“I grew up believing getting ahead meant marrying well.” Vanessa Shaw’s origin story might sound familiar. As a young girl, she had many unanswered questions about money, and little understanding of what options existed for her beyond being a mother and housewife. In the math classroom, she had an old-fashioned teacher that shamed her for asking questions -- which led to a lifelong aversion to math and financial statements, even after she started her own business.  With few female role models and an aversion to conversations about money, Vanessa soon found herself in a crisis when a major account ended and her accountant called her into the office to warn her of impending bankruptcy.  “Nothing will change until you change.” Vanessa brings us to the lowest point in her career -- the moment when she lost a big contract, and more than 85% of her income. The shame she felt in this moment made her realize that something needed to change - and it had to start with her.  Vanessa hired a coach, educated herself, and changed her mindset. Along the way, she discovered that she wasn’t alone. In fact, many women shared the same challenges. With so many struggling female entrepreneurs, Vanessa saw an opportunity to make a difference, and  The Business Growth Academy was born. Links:The Business Growth Academy Website:https://businessgrowthacademy.com/ Vanessa Shaw on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/vcshaw/ Join The Million Dollar Group on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheMillionDollarGroup/ Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketinghttps://meetfireside.com/podcast-production/
