So You Want to Start a Business

E172 "Put all the excuses aside because you are capable!" Michelle Okwudiafor

Stacey Hylen is my guest today and she started her first business when she was in third grade and then an even more successful business when she was 11 years old. Stacey says: "Many people feel they are getting paid well, just not enough to reflect their brilliance at what they do and the kind of results and support they create for their clients. I help people Raise their Rates" In this conversation she talks about how she works with clients to help them Raise their Rates. She describes herself as a “natural optimiser” and all the way through our conversation you can hear how she optimises!! No matter what business you are in – Stacey has a message for you. She started her business when she and her husband moved to Quebec in Canada from the US. in a new country speaking mostly French - 99.8% with a young baby and in a small village Her husband used to joke that "If it doesn't work out you could always go work at the local hot dog stand" and Stacey says "There is NO WAY that was going to happen" So she made it work. How often are we inspired to make something work because some one tells us it won't work!! The French expression she used is “Casse-croûte literally translates to 'break-crust' but it's really a snack.” Stacey has a recently released book "Hidden Profit: more clients & cash" and she mentioned her "Raise your Rates Masterclass" and you can register for the next one here: https://www.raiseyourratesmasterclass.com Her website is: https://www.staceyhylen.com   My guess is you are listening to these podcasts because .....

E171 Stacey Hylen: Optimising what you already have

Suzanne is a mindset coach for music-preneurs and creatives and she says it is time to #RedesigntheHustle! Combining her 18+ years in the music industry with a Master's in Psychology she now helps creatives reach their goals. This is more than time management solutions – this is growth mindset meets getting clarity on the next steps. There’s a reason the business is Rock/ Star The solidity with grounding like a rock while reaching for the stars! Suzanne says “Things will always get messy, and that’s OK. Get through the mess!” She says she wishes she had realised earlier that “Anything is monetizable” and she explains how not knowing this held her back in the early days. Suzanne gives us practical ways to bootstrap – the various ways she had to in the first 3-4 years. She talks about the importance of not just understanding the difference between charging by the hour and the value created for her clients. It was when she absolutely believed in the value she creates she was able to “take the steps and not get in my own way” – this was thanks to the support of a money mindset coach. Suzanne believes that everything comes back to mindset and how we think and what we believe. There is so much to love about this episode and conversation with Suzanne.

Destini Copp says "You may feel like no-one is watching, no-one is seeing what you are doing. Keep on going, keep moving forward. People are watching. People are seeing what you are doing. You are building your future. Believe in what you are doing and keep going." When Destini started her business, she started big and was looking to scale and grow quickly. Then she cycled around and went to work 1:1 with clients - and she wishes she had done this earlier. So many business owners want to "go big and grow fast" Destini talks to us about how important the 1:1 work is in building the foundations. She talks about pricing and the process she has used to reach the pricing models she has today. Dr Destini Copp is a college marketing professor turned online entrepreneur.

Allison Jackson Fitness originally started out as FitMomsofNJ.com in 2010 when she began to realize how many of her mom-friends were either struggling to lose weight, looking for ways to incorporate exercise into their busy lives or trying to figure out how to prioritize their health while caring for their family. Fitness is absolutely her passion. When she was in her teens, she used to read her Dad’s Muscle & Fitness magazines and attempt to lift weights and work out in their unfinished basement with a weight bench and some dumbbells. Her mom took Allison to Jazzercise classes with her. She struggled with her weight, but it was during those early years that she caught the fitness bug.

You’ll be surprised just how successful you can be" Some of my personal highlights from this conversation: Allison felt like the business was real when locals started saying to her "I know you, you're Allison Jackson Fitness - I've been watching your videos" She talks about how important it is to find the right business coach. "The right business coach is going to fast track you and get you through the rough points" She says "No matter what your goal there is a coach who can help you – go find them"   Allison explains how she went from her early days where she gave sessions to family "for free" to charging what she is worth – she has 3 different ways she reached a dollar amount: bartering was an early method she looked at what her coaches were charging and what value are they giving me and started from there - and says "As I built out my clients and my schedule gets more full – up with my prices" AND Evaluate your time, your hours. How much time are you spending coaching a person and the things you have to do – and put a dollar price on your hours.

Katie Chonacas is a multi disciplinary artist who utilises her voice to inspire change and transformation in people who want to make an impact on the world Katie Chonacas is the first NFT artist to release a poem on love on blockchain. "A Lover’s Fairytale" was released on World Poetry Day and is available on Amazon. Katie Chonacas writes for Huff Post. Katie has appeared in many TV shows and films including Law & Order: SVU, Cols Case, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, CSI: NY. She has a popular podcast: She’s All over the Place When I asked Katie why she wanted to be a guest on the show she said:  "Educating and sharing over two decades of experience in entertainment and business.

E163 Keep failing & you will keep soaring with Katie Chonacas

Money scares many people. But it doesn’t scare Ean Price Murphy.  She doesn’t want business owners to have to worry about their “crazy” finances anymore! People who are nervous or confused about money work with Ean to become confident, comfortable and knowledgeable around money. She wasn’t born a bookkeeper. She learned it slowly. Ean graduated with a Liberal Arts degree, so it wasn’t until her 20s that she started becoming educated about money. She says: “After all, it’s just another language, and with a little guidance, you’ll be fluent” Can runs Moxie Bookkeeping and is a Profit First professional. If you’re wondering what is profit first then listen in.   Ean describes profit first as “a way of handling your business income in order to make sure you’re actually earning a good living from your business or freelance work.  And if you’re not there yet, it is a really impactful way of working your way towards that good living in the most effective way.” You can find San and Moxie here: Website: www.Moxiebookkeepingandcoaching.com Facebook: PF for Creatives: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1040071306370464/  https://www.facebook.com/MoxieBooks/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moxiebookkeeping/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eanpricemurphy/   My guess is you are listening to these podcasts because .....

E161 Business is a Roller Coaster

Myrtle and Maude creates natural wellbeing products for pregnancy. Julia d'Albert Pusey is the Co-Founder and a super smart business woman.  This episode is packed with about as much as can be packed into 40+ minutes. I think Julia is probably one of THE most prepared guests I've ever had on the show. Julia says: "Don’t be scared of failing – just don’t put a lot of money behind it" and explains how this applied in her previous business. "Set a financial limit" She also says: "You cannot go to the market with perfect option. Test the market on the cheapest option and see if there is a bite" She describes the early days in "Myrtle and Maude" when it was "not pretty" because getting something out there was most important. She describes the impact of Google shopping and then Amazon on their business. Myrtle and Maud is certainly a business to watch over the next few years. Julia is certainly a business woman to watch.

E159 Find your NICHE

In this rich and rewarding conversation Kelli tells her story - and much more. 2020 - the year of necessary changes for small businesses, nonprofits and corporations. Kelli Komondor found the courage to follow her dreams to have a business of her own and to become a published author.
