144: How to Become a Big Deal

Join me for the incredible FREE Ideas to Income challenge - fea.link/ideastoincome When we come up with new ideas, all this pressure builds out of nowhere that makes you feel like you’re supposed to just get on with it and turn it into a success right away. But the reality is that the best ideas just don’t happen that quickly. Great results take time. It’s so easy to slip into the mindset that we need to get amazing results fast, and that if we’re not getting results fast, it means we’re failing. So many of us experience this when we have an idea to do something… whether that’s to create a course, build a membership, or write a book for example. If you’ve ever felt like that, or you’re teetering on the edge of giving up, I want to share 3 powerful things you can try when you feel frustrated. They will inspire you to hang in there and to keep believing that your ideas deserve time.

143: When your ideas are taking longer than expected...

I’m so excited to be hosting the Ideas To Income Challenge starting January 25th, to help you to make 2022 the year that you turn your dreams into a reality! Sign up for free here! :) xx - fea.link/ideastoincome So many of us keep putting our ideas off to “someday”, but for so many people “someday” never comes.  Life is happening to us right now, and it’s what we do today that counts.  It’s so sad to get to the end of it all with your ideas, your dreams and your magic still inside you! So if you’ve been delaying your dreams, sitting on your amazing ideas and getting in your own way, I have some powerful stories and tips to share with you that I know will inspire you to make 2022 the year you finally make it happen.

142: You Are Here for a Reason

If you’d love more help with creating a huge breakthrough in your life and business over the next year, then definitely join me for our upcoming Ideas To Income Challenge! - fea.link/ideastoincome We all get really excited about the possibilities in front of us when a new year comes round. We feel so fired up as we set out to achieve all these big goals and dreams we create for ourselves. But so many of us get to the end of the year without ever reaching those goals or making the progress we wanted to make.  We get stuck in a holding pattern living the same year on repeat over and over again, never making progress in the direction we want to go in. So what breaks that holding pattern? What creates change? How do we actually break through and make our goals happen? If you want to know what it’s going to take to make 2022 different, better, more successful and more fulfilling, I want to share with you the exact steps I took to completely change my life and create the business of my dreams. I hope you love this episode and that it inspires you to make 2022 an amazing year!  It starts on January 25th and over 3 days I’m going to share with you the best ways to turn your ideas into income, create more success and make more money in 2022.

141: How To Make Sure You Achieve Your Goals In 2022

Success is not an accident, we have to make it happen on purpose.  If you want to live an amazing life, or even just make next year way better than this year, then you have to get intentional about it, about what you want to manifest into your life over the next 12 months and the kind of person you want to be. It’s so easy to get hung up on our self-doubt and the limitations we make up in our minds. We convince ourselves that we need to be more “realistic”, that it’s silly to dream so big. That’s why every year it’s so important to give ourselves permission once again to dream big, to get excited about the possibilities, to reconnect with ourselves and get intentional about what we truly want to experience in our lives. So in this week’s episode we’re going through this process together and planning our best year ever! I hope this episode inspires you to decide and commit that you’re going to make 2022 a bloody amazing year and just go for it.  Get lost in the magic of dreaming big and imagining all the possibilities, and then create your plan to make it all happen!  If you’d love to set yourself up for a really amazing year, don’t forget to save your spot for our upcoming Ideas To Income Challenge - we’ll show you what you need to do to create so much success in 2022. It’s FREE and it’s going to be absolutely incredible. 

140: How To Plan Your Best Year Ever

As entrepreneurs it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that until we’re clear on what we offer and until we have a product to sell, then there’s no use in showing up and sharing content online. But this couldn’t be further from the truth - in fact it’s a common misconception that keeps so many entrepreneurs stuck from ever really building momentum and growing their audience. We hold ourselves back because we think we need to have everything figured out, rather than giving ourselves permission to just show up, be of service and have meaningful conversations with the people in our community.   Showing up when you have nothing to sell is one of the most powerful things you can do for your business and for your audience, so in this week’s episode I’m sharing some tips and a change in perspective that helped me to overcome this and I know it will help you too!

139: How To Stop Getting Hung Up On What To Offer

A lot of us as entrepreneurs tend to be creative, ideas people. But you reach a point in your business when you can no longer do everything yourself and you have to hire people to help you. Apart from the challenge of finding the right people, growing a team also means putting systems in place, creating structures to make everything work, managing boundaries, expectations, emotions, conflicts and so much more. It also means that you naturally have to shift away from focusing on the creative side of your business and more towards figuring out the operational and people management side instead. So many entrepreneurs struggle with this when they first start growing their team, and when other people are involved, mistakes you make don’t only impact you, but your team members too. So in this episode I’m sharing with you the biggest mistakes I’ve made over the past few years of growing my team and the 7 biggest lessons I learned that I know will be really helpful for you if you’re looking to hire new people into your business.   If you’d love more help growing a successful business in 2022, we have the most amazing new challenge planned that will help you turn your ideas into income and have the most incredible year ever!

138: 7 Lessons I Learned From Growing My Team

The entrepreneurial journey is a crazy one. In fact, it can feel like riding a roller coaster ride in the dark! It can feel lonely, scary and you never know what to expect and what you’re going to have to deal with.  There’s no special secret to help you avoid this crazy ride - even the most successful people in the world are on the roller coaster with you. We’re all human, which means that no one gets to escape the fact that we are emotional beings and that we go through all sorts of ups and downs.  It’s easy to feel like you’re the only person in the world who struggles like this and that everyone else has everything figured out - but no one is just plain sailing through this life.  As an entrepreneur coming up with exciting ideas and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, it’s normal to feel inspired and fired up one day and completely stuck in the “Valley of Despair” the next day.  The most important thing to do is to be intentional about managing that roller coaster ride.  Which is why in today’s episode I want to share with you 5 things that really help me to get through the ups and downs, to stay consistent and to enjoy the ride! If you would love more support as you go through this journey, we’ve got an amazing challenge coming up soon called Ideas To Income, which is going to get you inspired and fired up to make 2022 your most successful year ever.

137: 5 Ways To Survive The Entrepreneurial Roller Coaster

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!

135: How To Get Your Business Ideas Out Of Your Head

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!

134: The Best YouTube Strategy to Grow Your Business (With Sunny Lenarduzzi)

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! To be in with a chance of winning an amazing stationery product from our Carrie & Co range, simply take a photo or screenshot of you listening to this episode, share it to your Instagram Stories and tag us @femaleentrepreneurassociation  If you would like to find out more about biohacking and connect with Angela, here are the links she mentioned in this episode: High Performance Health Podcast Angelafosterperformance.com Yourtotalhealthcheck.com  Instagram @angelasfoster 

133: Avoid Burnout in Business Through Biohacking (With Angela Foster)

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!
