Hello and welcome to another exciting episode of the Soulful Biz Babes Podcast. Thank you so much for joining me today!Today, I will be talking about the BIGGEST thing that is keeping you from seeing results NOW and how to fix it.I know that we all want to put our offers out there. To build an audience, to grow a following of die-hard fans, to make money. BUT… there seems to be one HUGE thing keeping us from doing what needs to be done to make it happen. OURSELVES.How do we do that?We always Procrastinate / indecisive / don’t trust ourselvesWe compare ourselves to others-don’t see ourselves as experienced as that other person, not as confident, not as good at writing content or speaking We don’t think results are possible for us - don’t see ourselves worthy, don’t believe that we can do itWe think no one is paying attention or wants what we have just because no one commented on our post or bought right away when we sent that emailWe don’t like getting uncomfortable so when it comes to taking our biz to the next level, doing scary things and putting ourselves out there even more, we shut ourselves down in order to protect ourselves - Self -sabotageThis literally means that when it comes to taking the steps we know are necessary we don’t do it.We’ll look for evidence or reasons to NOT do something rather than understanding that fear and discomfort and the unknown is part of the process. We let our EGO get involved.We’d rather be comfortable in what we know to be true - even if it isn’t what we really want - because we don’t like the unknown.Look at it from the vantage point of your highest self in the futureAsk yourself…If I were already the person I wanted to be or had reached my goals - what would I be doing next? What decisions would the future me make? How would the future me benefit from that decision? Where will I be this time next year if I don’t take action, don’t invest?Grab my NEW Client Code Guide: 8 Surefire Strategies to Attract & Book Your Next (or First) Client: https://aliciajonas.mykajabi.com/8-surefire-strategiesI really hope you liked today’s episode.

Hello Hello, everybody! I hope you are well. Thanks so much for joining me today on the Soulful Biz Babes Podcast! I am so happy to be here with you guys talking about the question that you need to ask yourself in order to find more ease in attracting the right clients and selling your offers. I think this is going to be so good for you guys and it is such a simple question, but I think it's going to make all the difference for you! I was actually working with some clients earlier this week, my Passion to Proof ladies, and this is the exact question I gave them. Because right now, we are working on their vision for their business and crafting a business foundation that works for the long haul. I really worked with them instead of against them. I think it's good to bring this up because if you're at that place right now where you feel like everything is hard, you feel like you're pushing, forcing, or struggling to get the results or get the clients that you're wanting, maybe you're not asking yourself the right question, or you're doing something that's not completely in alignment with you. So, you will definitely want to stick around and listen to today's content because I know it’s exactly what you need to hear right now!

Hey Soulful Biz Babes! Today I was journaling, which I do pretty much every morning. I like to journal out what's bothering me, what's on my mind, what ideas I have, and one question that came up for me over and over and over is, “How do you trust yourself when nothing seems to be going right?” I've had numerous conversations with clients over the years and they say, “I'm doing all these things and nothing seems to be working. I'm doing exactly what you told me and nothing seems to be working.” And yeah, I've had those conversations with my coaches where I've done exactly what they've asked, I feel like I'm doing all the things, and I'm not getting the results that I had hoped for, and I'm not getting the results that I had anticipated. This even goes for my brick and mortar business. You know, I had a mentor at one time who would do all the things that everyone else was doing and seemingly having great success. And it just didn't work for me. And the thing is, how do you keep trusting yourself, how do you keep trusting your coach or how do you keep trusting your gut when nothing seems to be working the way that you had hoped? So I think this is a valid question, and maybe there's a reason that this was brought up for me to talk about today because there is probably somebody who needs to hear this and is going through this right now. They're doing all these things, and they're just frustrated, they're overwhelmed, they're watching all these other people achieve these great results and it's not happening for them and they think, “Why is it happening for them and not me?” It can definitely start to create some feelings of envy or feelings of jealousy and that's not really a place that we ideally want to be, especially if we're trying to grow our business, grow our income, or get more clients. We don't want to sit in that place of desperation, overwhelm or frustration. Okay, so that's why it's most of it's really important to figure out and that is what we will be talking about on the podcast today!Grab my NEW Client Code Guide: 8 Surefire Strategies to Attract & Book Your Next (or First) Client: https://aliciajonas.mykajabi.com/8-surefire-strategiesTune into Thrive Thursdays here http://aliciajonas.co/linksI really hope you liked today’s episode.

Thanks for joining me on today’s episode, Soulful Biz Babes! Today, I want to talk about consistency and how consistency makes you money. And what I mean when I use the word “consistency,” because there are different interpretations of what consistency is - not just a schedule, which is what we often first think of. Instead, I am feeling pulled to talk about consistency and how it's so important to know yourself when you're choosing a program or when you're choosing a coach so that you can get the best results. But also, if you are starting an online business, if you're coaching, if you're creating courses, if you're creating memberships, how you can serve your clients better with consistency in mind. I'm gonna be sharing three quick strategies and I think that this is important to discuss because this is actually something I discovered as I was DMing with women who were interested in my Passion to Proof program. We were talking about what they have done, what programs they have been in, and what kind of action they take, and where they were feeling stuck.So today we are going to talk about the value in consistently knowing yourself and how that is going to help you choose the right coach, the right program, the right course for you!Grab my NEW Client Code Guide: 8 Surefire Strategies to Attract & Book Your Next (or First) Client: https://aliciajonas.mykajabi.com/8-surefire-strategiesTune into Thrive Thursdays here http://aliciajonas.co/linksI really hope you liked today’s episode.

Hey Soulful Biz Babes! I thought it would be interesting to go back and share with you guys today, what I wish I could tell myself if I could go back to when I first started my online business. So basically I want to give you clear advice and tell you to “do this, not that” in order to start making sales and booking clients!I hope that this is something you guys need to hear today. And, if this is something that maybe you're thinking of or you're going through right now I would love to hear it! I've been booking wonderful ladies into Passion to Proof and so I'm reminiscing and going back to the beginning of the early few months of my business, reflecting on what I needed to hear and what I needed to be doing versus what I actually did. So, that is the inspiration which prompted this episode today! I hope you enjoy it!Grab my NEW Client Code Guide: 8 Surefire Strategies to Attract & Book Your Next (or First) Client: https://aliciajonas.mykajabi.com/8-surefire-strategiesTune into Thrive Thursdays here http://aliciajonas.co/linksI really hope you liked today’s episode.

Hello Soulful Biz Babes! Today I felt called to talk about how to choose your next mentor for your next program and how to know when it's time to invest. I'll share my investing experience which I've shared many times before, but maybe you haven't heard it. I think when you are just getting started in your business or you're not bringing in consistent money in your business, you can really talk yourself out of investing very easily. I used to justify that I wasn't making enough money to spend on coaching and thought I should be further along before I invested in coaching, or I should be further along before I joined that program, or I would just make do with kind of copying what everybody else was doing. And that got me to a point, but then I got to a place where I was stuck. So if you're there, or if you are to a place where you're thinking, “I just don't know where to go next,” it might be time for you to think about finding a mentor, a program, or something that can give you a little more support, and not leave you wavering.Grab my NEW Client Code Guide: 8 Surefire Strategies to Attract & Book Your Next (or First) Client: https://aliciajonas.mykajabi.com/8-surefire-strategiesTune into Thrive Thursdays here http://aliciajonas.co/linksI really hope you liked today’s episode.

Thanks for joining The Soulful Biz Babes Podcast today, guys! In this episode I want to talk about the importance of sales conversations to kind of piggyback off of what I spoke about last week, which was about my recent success with having these sales conversations in the DMS, and how I never thought that it was possible for me! I always thought that it was something that could happen to other people or I didn't believe how it could happen for other people. Now I want to share with you what I've learned since on how to navigate a sales conversation with ease!Grab my NEW Client Code Guide: 8 Surefire Strategies to Attract & Book Your Next (or First) Client: https://aliciajonas.mykajabi.com/8-surefire-strategiesTune into Thrive Thursdays here http://aliciajonas.co/linksI really hope you liked today’s episode.

Hello lovelies! Welcome back to another episode of The Soulful Biz Babes Podcast. Thank you so much for tuning in today, I am so excited to have you here and I'm so excited to be talking about this topic today. Literally, I cannot express how exciting this is for me to share with you because this is something that I never thought I would ever be able to talk about. I always saw people online, say, “I sold spots in the DMs and I didn't have to get on a sales call!” And I would always think to myself, “Yeah, that's never gonna happen for me, I just don't have that skill. I don't know how to make it happen.” And now it has finally happened for me. In the past two weeks, I have sold three spots into a brand new program without a launch and I sold those spots in the DMs. I am beyond excited and thrilled that this has happened. I'm so happy for the clients who are joining me! I wanted to share this because I know this could be so helpful for you. I know that just like me, I never thought this could happen but here's what I'm saying - if I can do this, so can you. There are a couple different elements that went into this process and the thing is - I am still having conversations and ideas right now about this same brand new secret program that I'm not launching, and I’m still booking clients! I want this for you and your business so let’s make this happen!Grab my NEW Client Code Guide: 8 Surefire Strategies to Attract & Book Your Next (or First) Client: https://aliciajonas.mykajabi.com/8-surefire-strategiesTune into Thrive Thursdays here http://aliciajonas.co/linksI really hope you liked today’s episode.

Hey, hey everybody! Welcome back to another episode of The Soulful Biz Babes Podcast. Thank you so much for tuning in. I hope you're having an amazing day - it is beautiful here in St. Louis! Fall just finally hit this week and I am loving it, brings back so many memories of growing up. It's just my favorite time of year so I hope you're getting some of that wherever you live. Today I wanted to talk a little bit about some of those innermost thoughts that can be negatively impacting your business. Now, you know I'm a mindset junkie. I love talking about mindset and how it can really significantly impact your business. You can have all the strategies you want but if you don't have the right mindset that affects the right actions to take, you're not going to see the results you want in your business. It's super important to talk about some of these limiting beliefs - imposter syndrome is a prime example of these self sabotaging tendencies that we create for ourselves. And maybe we go through this unknowingly. So like I said before, these innermost thoughts can create self-sabotage, it can create some overthinking tendencies, procrastination, lack of results, or maybe just not starting or not taking action. Okay, so let’s dive deeper in this episode!Grab my NEW Client Code Guide: 8 Surefire Strategies to Attract & Book Your Next (or First) Client: https://aliciajonas.mykajabi.com/8-surefire-strategiesTune into Thrive Thursdays here http://aliciajonas.co/linksI really hope you liked today’s episode.

Today we're talking about sales because a lot of us have these weird feelings about sales and we might feel icky, spammy, or sleazy. Here's the thing - sales doesn't need to feel that way. Sales does not need to feel gross, or feel as though you're taking advantage of people or you're taking their money, or that you're being tricky with your audience. If you are not super comfortable with sales, let’s figure out why. Maybe we’ve had a bad experience, maybe we feel like we've been ripped off by somebody or we've watched all of these weird tactics that feel just gross to us and don't feel in alignment with who we are and how we like to show up, maybe they're out of integrity for us. Because of our experiences, we might think that all sales are like that, which shouldn’t be the case. So we're going to talk about the fear of sales and why that could be holding you back in your business.Grab my NEW Client Code Guide: 8 Surefire Strategies to Attract & Book Your Next (or First) Client: https://aliciajonas.mykajabi.com/8-surefire-strategiesTune into Thrive Thursdays here http://aliciajonas.co/linksI really hope you liked today’s episode.

Hey everyone! I am so excited because today I'm gonna be sharing with you the three biggest mistakes that online coaches and service providers make when trying to book their next, or maybe even their first client. This is something that I notice over and over again with clients as I work with them. There are definitely some commonalities they all share - when they're struggling to book clients consistently, when they're struggling to get that continuous revenue coming in, when they're not booking consistent sales calls or they're not having people reach out to them, etc. I thought it would be helpful if I shared that with you today and I am so excited.

Today we're talking about that idea, offer, or new resource you're thinking of putting together for your audience, how to know if it's something your audience is actually going to want and buy before you launch it. Literally, we're walking through the exact process that I walk myself and my clients through when we're creating offers,resources, workshops and all of those things that we're putting out into the world! This process I’m going to share with you is gonna save you so much time. Let me preface this episode by saying there is a lot of pre-work that goes into this process. Okay, so this is not just an, “Oh decide in a day and put it out the next day” thing. There is a lot of pre work that sometimes feels like a pain but it is so necessary and it doesn't mean you're not taking messy action, you're not moving forward, you're not putting things out quickly. It just means you are going through a process to make sure that you're not wasting your time, energy, or money before you actually know if this is something that people want. This is so crucial and is something that not a lot of coaches or people in the online space talk about. I’m so excited for you to get the clarity you want for the clients you serve!Tune into Thrive Thursdays here http://aliciajonas.co/linksI really hope you liked today’s episode.

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of the Soulful Biz Babes Podcast.Now, today I'm talking about the messy action that I'm taking rather than not showing up in my business because of wanting the perfect strategy. Normally when I record a podcast, I put makeup on, I put some normal clothes on, I look a little bit more dressed up. Today, I'm totally in a ponytail, a sweatshirt, and not wearing any makeup because I am starting to really lean into the idea that showing up, even imperfectly, is better than not showing up at all. I totally could have just recorded the audio for the podcast and not put the YouTube video out but that's not what I'm going to do today. I'm going to show you that I'm practicing what I preach, and I'm going to show up and share - not let a little thing like not having my hair done, not having my makeup done, not being dressed up, etc. I'm not gonna let that stop me because sometimes we have all these excuses and we let those hold us back from actually doing the dang thing. So today we're talking about the contradicting strategies and rules for online business and how we can get so caught up in all of these different options, wasting time that we could be spending to better ourselves and our business. I know you’re going to get a lot out of this episode!I also want you to check out the workshop I launched a week ago. Grow Without Limits Workshop, it’s a workshop that is specially designed to help you implement a virtual, on-demand trial lesson system that attracts students and allows your studio to grow & profit sustainably, no matter what's to come.

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of the Soulful Biz Babes Podcast.Today’s episode was a livestream I did about 3 weeks ago from my free Facebook community called Dance Studio Soulpreneurs Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/dancestudiosoulpreneurs/. Where I talked about the top 4 things that you should be focusing on to help you thrive as you prepare to start a new season during pandemic.I know many of you have been anxious, including myself to be honest, about what’s been happening to the world right now. And I know most of you have been thinking the best way possible to adapt to fulfill the needs of our community at comfort level especially right now. And some of you might have already started launching virtual classes, some of you don’t and I know it’s been difficult because I’ve been there.

Michelle, owner of Michelle Marie Studio, works with female entrepreneurs across the globe, helping them elevate their brands with intentional design. Michelle specializes in Show it Website Design, logo design and marketing collateral design. She always enjoys mentoring other brand designers and helping them grow their businesses.“A brand strategist can help you, obviously a lot with the visuals, but we are focusing more on reaching your target audience. So the first thing that you're going to do with a brand strategist when you work with one is figure out who that target audience is, also known as your ideal client, and work through how we can target these people with our branding.” At minute 8:13, Michelle talks about marketing strategies for your brand and targeting your ideal clients. This is so important for any business!“I think one of the best lessons that I've learned is that once I stopped trying to implement strategies I thought were going to help my business just because multiple coaches out there were saying, “You need to do XYZ!” And that’s what I thought I needed to run my business but I realized that you are the only person who knows your business best. It's great to take advice from other people, but what works for somebody else isn't necessarily going to work for you. I think it's really important to learn that.” At minute 16:31, Michelle emphasizes that YOU are the one who knows your business best. Use your instinct as a guide when choosing what strategies to take on and implement for your business.“Some of the best advice I've received and this is more in the mental health spectrum, but treat your self-care as a calendar appointment. I am an enneagram three so I love working and I feel like I'm not fulfilled unless I'm constantly doing something throughout my day. I have to schedule in workouts and watch TV and read books, stuff like that... Now I have on my calendar, from 7-8pm, you're going to work out you're not going to look at your computer, from 8-9pm you're going to sit down and read a book, or at 7pm you're going to stop working and start watching Netflix, etc. It sounds really silly, but I have to do that and order to make myself feel good and be more sane because otherwise I'll just keep working all the time.” At minute 20:26, Michelle highlights the importance of scheduling time in your daily calendar for self-care. Taking care of yourself is so vital to running your business well!Michelle shared a lot of valuable information about utilizing your brand to attract your perfect clients.

Hey, everybody, welcome back to another episode of The Soulful Biz Babes Podcast! Today's episode is a little bit unique because you may or may not know that for about three years I was a coach for dance studio owners. I have my own dance studio. I've had it for many, many years. And in about 2017-2016 ish, I started transitioning to also mentoring other studio owners in their business. Up until February, this podcast was actually a dance studio focused podcast.This whole situation with COVID-19 has really, really negatively impacted the studio industry. I have a community of studio owners that supported me for a very long time. I am still a studio owner and with everything going on and all the challenges that the studio industry has been through, it's been really hard to make people feel comfortable coming back into the studio, due to the health and safety requirements, but also with that, it has limited profitability because we are limited on our class sizes. We're all kind of in survival mode right now.This is a message I think so many studio owners need to focus on. How do you market your studio right now? How do you make your studio appealing, make people feel safe, make people feel comfortable coming back in as you're reopening? As studio owners, we can't use the same messaging and the same marketing that we've done in years past. It's not the same old “back to school” campaign. It's completely different and there's a lot of uncertainty and a lot of fear and people are scared. I hope this episode creates some thought and some inspiration for you as you move forward with your marketing, if you're a studio owner, trying to go back and reopen your studio.

Stephanie, a success coach for female founders, knows the breakthrough cycle all too well. She left her $20k/year teaching job to start a photography business with her husband. In her first 6-figure year, Stephanie self-sabotaged and almost lost her business.After a rock bottom season of life, she created a quantum leap in her life and businesses, tapping into her zone of genius and growing to six figures in only four months.Since then, Stephanie has dedicated herself to helping women overcome their biggest fears and blocks around success leading them to their own quantum leaps. Stephanie's clients often increase 5-10x their income, hit their first six figures, generate multiple streams of revenue, and feel completely confident as they're doing it.“All of a sudden I realized that my body's broken, my business is broken, I don't know where my next paycheck is coming from. I was grieving, I was depressed, and it was in that time that I actually took the first step toward commitment to myself. I hired my first coach, I started seeing a therapist, and it was during that time that I realized that there was something more. This was just a step in my journey, and there was something more for me. I had a message still in my heart that I wanted to share. As I was being coached, I absolutely loved it and realized that I want to do this. I just put the message out to the universe that I wanted to try coaching and somebody reached out to me. That was my first client. Three years ago. That started my love affair with coaching - this is the business that I love. This is my absolute passion.” At minute 7:37, Stephanie shares with us when she hit rock bottom and decided to focus on her own life. She told the universe she was ready to start coaching and she has been loving her career ever since.“A limiting belief is simply the concept of having events in our lives that teach us something. And we always have two choices in those events. We either gain the learnings that we can bring forward with us to help us be more adaptable, successful and thriving, or we create a belief that limits us - limits our opportunities, limits, choices, and our success. The only reason you create the limiting belief or limiting beliefs is because they can come in the form of emotions.” At minute 16:56, Stephanie talks to us about limiting beliefs and how those thoughts driven by our emotions can hold us back in both our business and personal lives.“Always start with the beliefs that you want to embody. Start with the thought, “What if money came to me easily? What if the more passionate I were about something, the more money I made?” How would that feel? Then just daydream and write down how you would feel and what opportunities would come out of it. “I would do this, I would be doing that right now,” and step into the skin of you as the person who has that belief. Then determine if that felt good. Do I want to believe that? Okay, let's go. Let's do it.” At minute 30:17, emphasizes the importance of envisioning yourself living the life you want. The possibilities are endless when you start to know what you want and you believe in yourself!Stephanie shared a lot of valuable information about making quantum mindset leaps in your business.

Kelly Nolan is an attorney-turned-time management strategist and mom. She helps busy women ditch their overwhelm for calm clarity about when they'll get everything done in their personal, family and career lives. After practicing as a patent litigator for over five years in Boston and California, Kelly left law to help other women reduce their overwhelm and design and live out lives that light them up. Now, using her signature time management strategy, she helps women like you design and use a personalized, flexible and adaptable time management method that will bring you calm clarity for decades to come. Kelly is NOT naturally organized, so she gets how overwhelm happens – and also knows how light life feels when you are on top of it all. And you’ll be surprised at how much fun we have in the process.“The first thing I had to do honestly, was just ditch the judgment against myself.I think a lot of us beat ourselves up when we forget a friend's birthday or when we’re just scrambling at the last minute to hit a deadline. We have this very, “what is wrong with me?” feeling of being a mess, and at a certain point I was sick of trying to get my brain to remember all these things and beating myself up because I couldn’t remember everything. So I just started reading a lot, researching, getting better at observing people who seemed to be doing it well and just asking them questions that no one really talks about. I just started investigating. Over time, I ended up with my method and now I teach it to other women and it works great.” At minute 5:02, Kelly shares how she got started in helping women manage their time. She realized that she could not keep track of all the events, appointments, birthdays, and all the important dates on her own so she developed a strategy to take control over her time!“I give a step-by-step agenda because I think a big flaw in planning is we often sit down to plan and then we're lost, we think, “So what do we do? How do we work people through exactly what to do?” But I'm really obsessed with Friday afternoons because I think a lot of us turn our brain off by Friday afternoon, but there's still opportunity to get some stuff done. But most importantly, I just love that if you do this planning session, and basically go into your weekend feeling so on top of it you're gonna feel like nothing fell through the cracks. I have a game plan to get everything done, I know I don't need to do it all right now for it to get done, and you get to clear out your mind and get this taste of freedom.” At minute 16:06, Kelly tells us when she plans her week. She loves to take advantage of her Friday afternoons to both clear her weekend and give her clarity and direction for the week ahead.“I have recently started doing group programs to work women through this together and I did it because of the pandemic actually, because my time is tighter, but people were reaching out for help because they might have some more time, or, or need to get control of their time. So I started doing these group programs and it's been a blast, the women are supporting each other, it has been really fun to watch, and the results have been awesome” At minute 26:06, emphasizes the importance of being in a community of people wanting to live a more organized life and how you can support one another.Kelly shared a lot of valuable information about bringing calm back into your time management practice. She also gave a lot of helpful tips for all of us, so make sure you stay tuned!Don’t forget to connect and follow Kelly through her website https://www.kellynolan.com/ and on Instagram.

Christine Krogfoss is the go-to business and mindset coach for new bossbabes who wish to start and grow their online business to the level where they can leave their 9-5!She specialises in helping female, service-based entrepreneurs who are ready to take their business full-time, by focusing on not only bullet proof strategies, but also mindset work, NLP and energy work.Having a Business degree and having worked as a business consultant in corporate London, she went on to take clients on her own, and now, she runs her business full-time, having the financial freedom and the impact she has always dreamt of!“Ever since I can remember, I've always wanted to start my own business. I had no idea what to do or how to do it. I just knew to my core that I was meant for something more. I really think that a lot of people can relate to this.” At minute 1:20, Christine shares that she knew at an early age that she wanted to be an entrepreneur and have her own business. She listened to her heart and instincts, then decided to pursue it!“I would say having confidence in what it is that you're offering on the sales call is super important. Confidence comes from your preparation for the sales call - you have to know within yourself that this is something that will truly change your client's life. So, once you really truly know that this is something that can help solve their problem, then you are good to go if you really feel this in your heart.” At 10:51, Christine emphasizes the importance of preparing for every sales call. Once you prepare, then you will feel confident in selling your product or solution to your client!“A very typical thing that comes up in sales calls very often, is that you don't get into the bottom of the client's “why.” Why do they want to do this, why do they want this transformation? You don't focus enough on this transformation during the call. So it's kind of like a two step process but it all starts with you getting to ask them, “Why do you want this?” At minute 17:00, Christine tells us that most business coaches forget to ask clients about their “why.” Knowing this information will only help you further the success of your clients!Christine shared a lot of valuable information about booking more clients with ease. She also gave a lot of helpful tips for all of us, so make sure you stay tuned!Don’t forget to connect and follow Christine through her website https://christinekrogfoss.com, on Facebook, Instagram, and on TikTok under @christinekrogfoss.

Today we're talking about content. One of my favorite topics for online entrepreneurs! We want to create content that basically draws in your ideal client and converts them to somebody who wants to work with you, somebody who pays attention to you, and somebody who wants to pay you. This is super important! Content can be a beast of a thing to manage since it is super important for getting people to look at you as an authority figure, an expert, a leader, etc. Content also helps captivate people to be interested in what you have to say, making yourself stand out. Okay, so it's super important to get really clear on creating content. When I first started my business online, there was a lot of, “Oh, let's just get something out to get something out, just to check the box, cross off the to-do list, etc.” Really content is about who you are, what you know, what you're about, and what your story is. That's why it's really super important to actually pay more attention than thinking, “Oh, I'm just going to get something out I'm just going to post a quote, I'm just going to post an inspirational poem, I'm just going to post an inspirational picture that I found just to make sure the algorithm keeps me in people's view.” You're checking the box. But the thing is, you're not really reaching the people that you want to reach. Anybody can share an inspirational quote, anybody can share a travel photo, anybody can share content from somebody else's page. I see a lot of that and I do it too if I feel like the quote is valuable. I will take somebody’s post on Instagram in their feed and I will share it to my story if I think that it's good, and my audience will get value from it. But really, that doesn't build my credibility. Okay, my credibility comes from the stuff that I share - my viewpoints, my opinions, my story, my experience. I think that this is where content comes in to make myself stand out. Let’s dive in! Tune into Thrive Thursdays here http://aliciajonas.co/linksI really hope you liked today’s episode.

She's a mom and wife and a lover of all things creative. When not Taking care of the family of working she enjoys a good glass of red wine, a book or a good Netflix binge!“Especially when I was starting out, I had to be a jack of all trades to fill all the positions until I got myself to a place where I could start outsourcing. It requires a whole lot of patience and grace, especially as a mom in business, because you want to do other things, you want to be able to put your best foot forward, but at the same time, you literally cannot do all the things” At minute 3:45, Chauntae talks about the struggle between owning a business and being a mom, trying your best to manage all the jobs, yet coming to terms that you can’t do everything!“I'll do my morning routine which takes about 15 minutes, not too long. I will go through limitations, my affirmations, I journal sometimes…. and then I go straight into work. I try to keep the routine simple because I know that if it is simple, the easier it is for me to attain, and that way I don't feel bad if I don't get it all done.” At 8:32, Chauntae walks us through her morning routine, which helps her start her day. Some people spend an hour, fifteen minutes, or even five minutes for their routine!“In order to whip yourself out of that mindset, literally write down 10 things that qualifies you to be doing what you're doing. Then write down the things that don't make you unqualified to do what you're doing. And the thing is, once you start trying to write that list of things that make you unqualified you'll kind of see that you're making up all of these things in your own head. The things that you probably end up writing, are things that literally have no bearing on whether or not you're able to successfully perform the task or the job that you've put yourself in.” At minute 14:10, Chauntae emphasizes the importance of perspective and building confidence in yourself and your abilities.

Brooke Dumas is the owner and lead planner of Stellaluna Events, a boutique wedding planning company located in Michigan. Since opening her wedding planning business, Brooke created The Haven Conference for entrepreneurs, a group mentorship program for wedding planners called The Confident Planner and has planned retreats, conferences and events for entrepreneurs. All of this while planning and executing weddings and events across Michigan, Indiana, South Carolina, Colorado, California and even Mexico. She is passionate about helping entrepreneurs create and host fulfilling in-person and virtual events for their communities that are also profitable! “I transitioned into this new idea based on the feedback I was getting from the different entrepreneurs that were following me, which were primarily wedding vendors. I realized that they were looking for a one day event for entrepreneurship so I put on that event, and then I noticed that I started to get more and more entrepreneurs following me. So I decided it was time to diversify the two different followings I had.” At minute 7:17, Brooke talks about her transition and how she used the feedback from her audience to diversify the valuable information and offerings she was giving them. Listening to your audience is key! “To anybody listening to this who has been thinking about hosting an event or is considering doing a virtual event I would say now is probably the best time for you to do a virtual event. The funny part is that if it wasn't for this global pandemic, I would have never done a virtual event because I thought, “Oh so much engagement, it's not what I want to do.” But the amount of people that have told me, “Oh my gosh, I love that this is virtual. This is so much more accessible.” We were able to have 90 entrepreneurs join us but normally we have 30. So, the reach was so much bigger.” At 15:50, Brooke encourages entrepreneurs who have been thinking about hosting a virtual event to go after it. People are longing for virtual conferences right now for the accessibility, flexibility, and education during this pandemic. “I think the biggest thing I would suggest...I'm a big fan of messy action, and know that you don't have to have every little thing figured out before you launch it. Sometimes I think we spend a lot of time focusing on the details, trying to get everything perfect, and then we launch it and all of a sudden, nobody buys a ticket or one person buys a ticket. I think it's important to get an idea of what your audience wants. Put the idea out there, launch the ticket, and then you start to see what people are buying or not. ” At minute 22:56, Brooke shares the importance of action - not getting caught up in the details and trying to figure out the perfect plan for launching your event. Just put it out there and see what people respond and resonate with. Brooke shared a lot of valuable information about in-person and virtual events.

Selene Vakharia is a Business & Marketing Coach and Founder of SMRT WOMEN, an award-winning community for entrepreneurs.For over 15 years, Selene has worked with organizations, businesses, and award-winning ad agencies across Canada. In 2014, she moved across the country to a small town in the north and started and in 2015 she started a marketing, design, and events agency.After running the agency for a couple of years with clients all around the world, Selene realized that what she truly loved doing was using her marketing, money, and mindset superpowers to help female entrepreneurs rock THEIR businesses. Selene absolutely loves working with entrepreneurs who are looking to turn their passion into a profitable business with purpose.So, SMRT WOMEN was started.Since it began, it has been behind two sold-out conferences, a sold-out female CEO speaker series, countless workshops and networking events, and amazing coaching clients across the country.“It's always that I find someone outside of me that needs to say, “Hey, have you noticed you've been talking about the same thing over and over again for like years now?” So that for me was a really big push to actually start my own business, and to commit to it because I kind of half tried before, never really committing to it, never having that patience. That was the big moment where I realized this is what I needed to do.” At minute 3:23, Selene shares with us how the input of those around her motivated her to start her own business. Allowing the input of those in your community can help give you direction when you want to advance your career!“I think especially in the online space, one of the big things I learned. You know, we think about it as being very different from in person, but it's not. People build relationships the same way, we connect in the same way, we follow all the same steps, and we look for the same things.” At 11:32, Selene emphasizes the importance of connecting with people the same way online as you would in real life. Authentically being yourself is key!“The best advice I’ve ever received is, “You need to be patient, things don't happen overnight, and you have to trust that they're going to happen if you're putting in the work, you're being strategic, and you're doing the things you can only control.” You have to trust that it's going to pay off and if you don't trust that, if you don't believe in yourself, then you're going to end up in weird situations where either you're saying yes to everything that comes your way because you're not believing the right things are going to come, or you're just going to start pushing things away.” At minute 25:08, Selene shares with us the best advice she’s ever received, encouraging all of us to be patient and keep working towards our goals, not letting distractions get in the way.Selene shared a lot of valuable information about building a community around your brand.

In today's episode I'm sharing business foundations to kick start your online business now. I’ve received so many questions from people who are using this time coming up with all these creative ideas, deciding that they are fully interested and invested in getting started in an online business. Why? Because they want to create more financial security for their family, they want to have more freedom and flexibility with their schedule, they don't want to be limited on vacation time or sick days, they don’t want to miss out on those memories with their children, etc. Those are just some of the many reasons why I love having an online business, but some people are feeling a little bit stuck and overwhelmed because of all the resources out there.Having all those options are great, but can be super confusing. It can be a lot, and with all of the noise, all the podcasts to listen to, all the freebies out there, it's a lot to widdle through, which can make it hard to find some direction and know where to start. But here's the thing - yes, there are so many choices there but after three years of doing this online, after being an entrepreneur since 2006, I have a pretty good idea of the main foundations you should focus on first. These are what I worked through with my clients and I want to make sure you set yourself up for success in the long term moving forward. I’m so excited to bring this to you guys and this community. I think it's gonna be super super beneficial for everyone and I can't wait, I'm so excited. Enjoy!Tune into Thrive Thursdays here.I really hope you liked today’s episode.

Erin Pride has served as the Dance Director at Rosa Parks High School of Fine & Performing Arts for the past 14 years. She received her BFA in dance from Montclair State University, Master degree in Dance Education from New York University, and toured with Pilobolus Creative Services. Erin helped in the development of the New Jersey High School Dance Festival, the establishment of the Inner City Ensemble Summer Youth Intensive, and wrote the Paterson Public Schools Dance Curriculum and assessments. In 2018 Erin launched Dance Boss with Erin Pride, a dance education platform where through podcasting, public speaking, and virtual workshops she helps dance educators and studio owners systemize their classrooms.“One thing that I pride myself on is asking for help and supporting people that are fellow entrepreneurs. I wanted to grow and excel and I didn't feel like I could do that without a coach, because how can I ask people to invest in me if I'm not investing in myself? It just didn't morally feel right for me.

Meet Jessica Sealey, our guest expert today on the Soulful Biz Babes Podcast! Jess loves helping women make an impact, call in high-ticket clients, work less while making more, and call in dream clients that they actually love working with (and who love to pay them in return!)She’s a firm believer that not all of us are meant to work in a corporate setting (having to ask for time off, being restricted on vacation time, and being told our value. Yuck!) and it’s her mission to help more women experience the freedom running their own successful businesses can bring to their lives.Jess knows it’s a sweet thing, being able to treat yourself to dinner without having to check the bank account, book travel without going into debt, and be able to take a random Tuesday off because you’re being more called to the beach than you are to your desk. She wants that for you and that's exactly what she helps her clients achieve!“We give all of our energy to our clients. And that's just who we are, that's what we signed up for and that's why we're doing it. To make an impact and help others. But what they don't tell you is that you also need to make sure that you're making time for yourself and that's why boundaries are really important. You have to really protect your energy in this industry when you're giving so much of yourself away.” At minute 6:26, Jessica talks about the importance of having boundaries for yourself so you can look out for your own health and be able to serve your clients.“Relationship building is so important to me and so close to my heart. It's how I built this business. To me, non-negotiable relationship building is such a key component and I think it is for any business, but I really value the connections that I build. So, you'll never see me forcing an intro to somebody or see me asking such surface level questions. That’s not who I am.” At 13:09, Jessica emphasizes self-awareness in knowing who you are and being authentic in your relationships both in the way you communicate to those around you and how you sell to potential clients.“A lot of feelings of unworthiness come up with entrepreneurs that I've worked with and it's really too bad because we're all capable of making our businesses work. We're all capable of seeing success and results in making it easy for ourselves, but a lot of these stories that we tell ourselves is that we're not worthy or we're not capable.” At minute 19:35, Jessica shares a common feeling of unworthiness among entrepreneurs. Changing your mindset is so important when it comes to your business! You are capable of more than you think.Jessica shared a lot of valuable information about building relationships and growing your sales. She also gave a lot of helpful tips for all of us, so make sure you stay tuned!Don’t forget to connect and follow Jessica through her website https://jessica-sealey.squarespace.com and on Instagram @jessica.sealey.

Welcome back to another episode of The Soulful Biz Babes Podcast! I appreciate you guys showing up. I know that this is a challenging time. I will literally use the word that my 11 year old would use, “Oof.” “Oof,” is what he says and honestly, that's how I feel about the past two weeks and it's not over, right? Hopefully, I mean, I truly believe in my heart, this is going to be a short term thing. I'm praying, but we nonetheless still have to deal with it, we still have to show up as the business owners and the leaders. So hopefully, what we talk about today will give you a little bit of a sigh of relief. I'm hoping I want this episode today to be positive. We're not going to be debating. I'm not into the fear mongering, the panicking, and everything. I'm about solutions and looking at the good side of the opportunity that comes from challenging times like this.

Hey! wasn't planning on recording today. But I thought to myself, “I gotta record this. I gotta get this out to my listeners.” And the thing about inspiration is when it strikes, you have to take advantage of it. So that's what I'm doing. I know that this episode is going to be so valuable for you because today we're talking about the number one way that you can bump up your visibility, your authority and your sales using your social media strategy. Now, if that doesn't get your attention, I don't know what will, right? Who doesn't want to use social media in a way that's going to make them more profitable? Make them an authority, an expert in their field gives them that clout, right? And it will also help you increase sales. So this is a recurring thing that all of the experts were talking about at Social Media Marketing World. And it really comes down to using your content, your social media, your blog posts, how you show up on YouTube, or your Instagram stories, to really serve your ideal customer - the customer that needs you, that needs what you have. Once you are offering to serve them, and show them that you can relate to their challenges, and you can help them. Okay, how so do we do that? We are going to talk more about increasing your visibility so tune in!I really hope today’s episode was helpful for you.

Today, I wanted to talk about some of the things that I would do differently now, if I were to be starting my business from scratch online. I was thinking about this because I am coaching online business owners, and they're going through this right now where they are getting started in their business. They're putting the foundations in place. Social media is so different now than it was a year ago. And it's different from three years ago because it changes so fast. So I thought it would be valuable to share some of my ideas if I was starting from scratch right now, what would I do differently. So take this experience, take my learned lessons, and see what you can put into practice in your business and if you're thinking about getting started in the online space, or if you're just getting started and you think, “Oh my god, nothing's happening.” I think that you're going to get some value out of our time together.I really hope you liked today’s episode.

Hello and welcome to the new exciting episode of the Soulful Biz Babes Podcast!In this episode, we are going to gain some insight from a recent Live Q&A in my private Facebook Group of business entrepreneurs. So today we are talking about how to get started and monetize your expertise online. The topic of starting an online business is something that I get all kinds of messages about. Some of you might be curious - maybe you have an idea brewing in the back of your mind, maybe you've had something on your heart for a while, or maybe you are already started in those nitty gritty parts of those things. I'm excited about today because I'm going to answer all your questions. I'm going to talk about how to know if your business idea is going to work, how to package it up, and how we get started to ensure success right from the beginning.In case you didn't know this already, I already coach online business owners in my Amplified Mastermind for online business owners and I do some private coaching for some online business owners as well. I have been sharing this knowledge with my clients, but it's not something I talk about a lot because many of you are studio owners, and that's where your focus lies. You are looking for that knowledge that is relative to running a studio and growing your studio and I am happy to provide that. But overtime I’ve realized that I also love talking about online business. I love talking about funnel strategy, automation, sale systems, building courses, offers, etc. So that's what I talk about with my clients who are running an online business and that's where we're going to kind of dive in today.

Hello and welcome to another exciting episode of the Dance Studio Amplified Podcast!In this episode, I’m sharing some advice with you based on my own experiences. Sometimes all the business ideas come flooding in and it can be overwhelming when you are wanting to act, implement, and incorporate all the ideas in your head.

Hello and welcome to another exciting episode of the Dance Studio Amplified Podcast!In this episode, we’re sharing my top ten automation hacks you should consider utilizing to grow your business.I will share with you the benefits of setting up automation for communicating with your families through email and social media, how automation can save you time so you can spend more of it with family, and how it can bring more structure to your business.I will also share the importance of setting up automation especially if you have a family with small kiddos. When I first started, I could devote six to seven days working on my business. Once I became a mom, I knew I had to work smarter so I could spend more time watching my kids grow up and be there for my family. If you are a studio owner who wants this, I want to help you! This episode will help you put your business in auto mode so you can relax and not miss those important moments.Automating your studio will not only save you time but will also give you consistency in both communicating and connecting with your families. You won’t have to rely on your memory for scheduling the phone calls, sending the individual, customized emails, and answering some of the same questions over and over again. Through automation you will be able to deliver clear communication and give your families all the answers they need. Spend less time answering common questions (imagine how much time that will save you!) and more time focusing on giving them the outstanding customer service they deserve (resulting in more business through your studio doors). I hope these tools and ideas I share with you will be helpful and save you some time and energy!

Hello and welcome to another exciting episode of the Dance Studio Amplified Podcast!In this episode, I'm gonna share with you the pros and cons of adding a music program to your dance studio and the lessons I’ve learned from my own experiences.I will share with you the benefits of music lessons including: utilizing space you don’t already use to generate income, the low investment required to start a music program, raising retention for your dance students who might lose interest in dance but want to give music lessons a try, and the care-free planning that goes into music recitals. We will also talk about some of the challenges: make-up policies for both teachers and students, the patience and time it requires for your music lessons program to build, and the lower profit margin private lessons bring into your studio (small hint, group music lessons might be the way to go for a bigger profit).I will also share the importance of hiring a music director who has experience in growing a music program, as well as making sure your instructors can teach more than one genre or instrument to attract more customers to your studio.Here are some important questions to ask before starting a music program - Will this benefit the families of my studio? Do I have the space needed to add music lessons? Is there a demand for music lessons in my area? If so, then I hope these experiences I share with you will be helpful and save you some time and energy!I really hope you liked today’s episode.
