Entrepreneurial Outlaws

Hey Outlaws, as mentioned, today is the last episode of Entrepreneurial Outlaws! I have been trying to record this final episode for the previous two weeks, and it's been hard to figure out how to do this. It's been emotional as well. But here I am, ready to say goodbye to podcasting, but not to you, my beloved community. Even if you do not hear me weekly in our podcast conversations or on Instagram, there are several ways we can continue our fruitful discussions. So today, I will focus on introducing to you what is coming up for the Entrepreneurial Outlaws, as I'm finally ready to concentrate on who I was always supposed to be, the creative version of myself.  Also, I want to thank each of you for your listenership and for making this a reality because I would not have been able to do this without you.  Visit this episode's blog post here for episode resources and more.

Hey Outlaws, welcome to this week's episode. Courtney McCarthy is joining us today to share her journey to becoming a wellness professional. She is the CEO and founder of Loyobo FIT, a fitness community dedicated to helping women ditch diet culture, find joy in movement, and figure out how to love their bodies. We also discussed how the pandemic changed the fitness industry and how they pivoted into the virtual world. Tune in to hear more insights. Enjoy!   Disclaimer: This week's episode covers a very sensitive topic about weight loss, diet culture, body movement, and body image. If you are currently going through any of these stages and feel it can be triggering, it is better to skip the episode.

Hey Outlaws, welcome to this week's episode. Again, I will cover a topic I never discussed before - employment, entrepreneurship, and team hiring. Candice Elliott is joining us today to share her mission to flip the script on HR by helping impact-driven leaders thrive with their teams through HR best practices. So if you're considering starting your own business or hiring a new team member, this episode is a perfect starting point. Tune in to hear more insights.  Visit this episode's blog post here for episode resources and more.

Hey Outlaws, welcome to this week's episode. Nina Hannert-Nimmo is joining us today to talk about mental well-being and mental health. We will discuss breaking up with the rules and moving away from perfectionism, managing our mental energy, navigating setbacks, and managing our minds. So if you're a perfectionist and overthinker, this episode is for you. Tune in to hear more insights.  Note from Nina:  ‘'I've been reflecting on our recording and realized that the way I talked about spoon theory and managing our mental energy is really appropriating language/concepts used by the chronic illness community, and that's not ok.''

Hey Outlaws, welcome to this week's episode. Today I will cover a topic I never discussed before - mindset shifts and manifesting. Efia Sulter is joining us today to share her journey to becoming a mindset and manifestation coach. We cover a lot in today's episode about personal development, understanding the law of polarity, and the importance of spiritual energy. This conversation was such a good reminder that the wrong mindset could drag us away from being extraordinary. As the end of the year is around the corner, this episode is perfect for all of us who need a gentle push to the right path to confidently manifest what we want from our lives. Enjoy!  Visit this episode's blog post here for episode resources and more. 

Hey Outlaws, as promised, we have a different episode for you today on the show because Entrepreneurial Outlaws turns TWO this month! Since starting Entrepreneurial Outlaws back in 2020, a lot has changed and in some ways nothing has changed. Currently my business is so close to my heart and soul and I remain in self audit mode, making adjustments to ensure I'm doing business on my own terms and I've been so grateful to have you here on this journey with me. I've learned so much and today I want to share the three lessons I've learned from podcasting as well as a big (kind of heavy) announcement about the show. Enjoy! Visit this episode's blog post here for episode resources and more. 

Along with creating slow businesses, I have seen a big push to create a conscious business. Today on Entrepreneurial Outlaws, Kate Carman, Founder & Creative Director of Studio Wilding, is sharing her story of overcoming burnout to eventually create a business that fits her wants and needs as a business owner and creative. This episode is for you if you're scared of making a needed change because it may mean saying no to income or re-creating your boundaries.  Visit this episode's blog post here for episode resources and more. 

Outlaws, hustling actually isn't in our DNA, it is nurtured. This means we have got to collectively rethink and reframe self nurturing. We know that self-care is important, we know that it's not always a bubble bath and Netflix, we know that self-care can be tough. It can be heavy and involve hard conversations with ourselves and with others. Self-care can look like creating boundaries and then actually having to honor them, it can look like saying no ending relationships and it can even hurt us in the moment. Self-care requires us to self nurture, to take care of our needs in micro ways on a daily basis, and allows us to take care of ourselves in the long term.  Visit this episode's blog post here for episode resources and more. 

Another podcast veteran is joining us today on Entrepreneurial Outlaws – Bre Byrd is joining us to share how she's leaned into Cellular Release Therapy to not only heal her own generational trauma but create her own practice that helps womxn and queer folx heal from trauma on all levels. This conversation was such a good reminder that our health and business do not work in isolation from each other. If you're ready to create a healthier business, this episode is a great starting place. Visit this episode's blog post here for episode resources and more. 

Autumn seems to be the season of hustle culture messaging – we're coming up on the end of the year and are often told that we need to make a final push whilst also planning for success in the new year. This mindset is a huge catalyst for entrepreneurial burnout. For me personally, this led to me not trusting myself as a business owner or creative. I remember asking for opinions from everyone around me instead of listening to my intuition. So today we are going to talk about self trust, learning to listen to your intuition, and how to protect your energy no matter the direction you choose to go in as the end of the year approaches us.  Visit this episode's blog post here for episode resources and more.

Welcome to season two of Entrepreneurial Outlaws! I'm so excited to explore the topic of entrepreneurial burnout with you this season because this comes up for so many of us in the online space. To start off, today we are talking about seven ways to pumpkin spice your business and really, your life, because this is all encompassing. I felt like it made sense to start this season off by talking about some of my favorite things, which is the symbolism of autumn and how this can really help us tap into our intuition and what we need during this season. Of course this episode includes journal prompts, so grab your favorite notebook and seasonal drink and listen in! Visit this episode's blog post here for episode resources and more. 

Get ready Outlaws, a new season of the podcast is coming! This Autumn, we'll be diving heart first into the topic of entrepreneurial burnout. Together we'll explore the vicious burnout cycle, and how hustle culture and marketing trends prey on our insecurities. We'll take a look at hustle fuelled launches, create a self nurture menu, hear from new and returning guest experts and so much more. Entrepreneruial Outlaws isn't just a podcast. It's a movement, a commitment to challenge the status quo of online business and start doing things on your own terms.⁠ For the listeners who have been here from the start, thank you. For thos who are new, I'm so glad to have you here as we change the online industry together.  Learn more about the podcast and see all past episdoe posts here.

Hey Outlaws, welcome to this week's episode of the show. This episode is the last one before we go on our Summer break and I'm excited to share with you the 5 key ways you can measure success in your business so that you can take some intentional time with these prompts during these slow months. I'm also going to be sharing how I've personally measured the growth of Entrepreneurial Outlaws, what's coming after the break, and a sneak peek into our new Patreon. We'll be back on September 1st, but feel free to connect with me on Instagram and share how you're going to re-shape the way you run your business as we head into Autumn.

Hey Outlaws, welcome to episode 81. Thank you for joining me for the penultimate episode of our summer series. Before we dive in, I want you to know that we are going to be taking a little break over here at the Outlaw headquarters in August. We're not going to be releasing any new episodes during that month, but we will be planning and working behind the scenes because, let me tell you, there is some exciting stuff coming. Be sure to join the email list or connect with me on Instagram for all the updates! Now, today, as we finish up our summer series over the next couple of episodes, we're going to be talking about what we could essentially do now to get ready for autumn. This episode serves as a reminder to listen to yourself and what you need rather than attaching to hustle culture. Enjoy!

Hey, Outlaws. Welcome to this brand-new episode of our summer series! At the time of this episode airing, we have just experienced the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere – the longest day of the year. This is often known as “midsummer” for those of you who have warm summertimes, and some of us call it the beginning of summer because we're in very wet and rainy countries. We've also entered into Cancer season, and Cancer is a water sign – it can be associated with high emotions and I like to think of it as being a water/summertime energy. As I plan for my business and downtime in the summer months, I will often look at the cycles that are around me and I will reflect on personal experience with each season to make sure I'm planning in a way that suits the season best. In this episode we're going to explore that cyclical nature of business and I'll share some journal prompts that will help you to plan for this season. Let's dive in!

Hey Outlaws, welcome to episode 79. Today we are continuing with our summer series and this week we're gonna be getting a little bit strategic – we're going to look at planning out your business' needs for the summer. This is something that is so important when we are looking to take time off, whether it is in the summer or any other time of year. Last week, I introduced you to some questions that I've used in my own business to help me get ready for downtime, like what do I want my summer to look like? How much time do I want to take off? When do I want to work? Do you want to work every day? You get to set that tone for your summer, so let's expand on that in today's episode. Visit this episode's blog post here: www.melanieknights.com/podcast/summer-series-planning-out-your-business-needs-for-the-summer

Today we are starting a five-part mini series! It's going to be a summer series that is going to take us right through to August, and we are going to be looking at how you can get your business summer ready. It's really important for us to identify as individuals what it is that we really want to get from each season of our business, whether it's a physical season or winter spring summer, or whether chapter it is. How can you allow your business to actually give you the life that you want? I want to explore today how we can really navigate this, how we can prepare for it and be really intentional about that time we take off. We're also going to be looking at challenging what slow business is over the next five episodes – we're going to be challenging the fact that slow business is slow, but it is not lazy. It's also not always on the fly. We can have a season of planning and creativity, and this can work for all of us and the way we wanna run our business and the way we want to live our lives. So grab out your journals and let's find some clarity together today.

Welcome to a brand new guest episode, Outlaws. You've probably heard me talk about the book, I Don't Want to be an Empath Anymore. I absolutely loved the way it has resonated with my own experiences as an online business owner and connected with the author, Ora North online. So, to have Ora on the podcast today feels like a huge honour. As someone who's always felt very deeply and who also lives with Bipolar Disorder, Ora has become an expert at creating systems to manage, lessen, or amplify the emotional experience. I'm excited for you to learn more about how she runs her business as an emotional strategist and allows herself to put her emotions and needs first in her business. I hope you're excited as I am!

Hi, Outlaws! I'm SO excited for this month and because of that, I thought I would do a round up of where I'm at in business right now, what I'm focusing on, and I also want to introduce you to one of my newest projects that I've been talking about on Instagram for awhile that centres around the topic of fat phobia and body image. I want to start this episode with a trigger warning: if you have an eating disorder or are struggling with body image and hearing conversation about diet culture, bodies, fatphobia, etc., I encourage you to do what's right for you and that may be skipping this episode. I see you and I love you. Visit this episode's blog post here: www.melanieknights.com/podcast/behind-the-scenes-new-website-and-shop-products

Hey Outlaws, welcome to a brand new episode and a brand new month which means a new mini series and new guests! Today, Sandy Norman is joining me on the show to talk about how to repurpose your content without the overwhelm so that it works for you and your business. And of course, we will have a little snippet on the importance of journaling because it's a shared love of Sandy and I. Lastly, my new website is also being published this month and I cannot wait for you to see it because it's been such a labour of love but has been something I've been so excited about. For updates on the new website and new products that will be available on the launch date, you can add your name to my list at the link in the show notes!

If we want to embrace a slow business and be more present in each moment, then we have to be really intentional and practical with the way that we plan in our businesses. But what does this look like? How can we plan less in order to accomplish more? That's what we're going to be diving into on the second installment of our planning series right here on Entrepreneurial Outlaws. But I want you to know that your goals are still valid, your audience still needs you, and your intuition is your best tool for guidance as you grow as an entrepreneur.

Welcome to episode 73, Outlaws! I'm really excited for you to listen to my conversation today with Ellie McBride. Ellie is an OG listener of the show and an American expat who now lives in Ireland. She built her online business, Calibrated Concepts, to offer her more freedom to travel and to help her clients create an intentional home for their services. You'll hear more about her immigration story, her moving from a full time employee to a full fledged business owner, and her love of systems. Enjoy!

This month we are going to be talking about seasons -- not just seasons from the year point of view or in terms of weather and things like that -- we're actually going to be talking about seasons of business. This is an episode I've wanted to record for a while, so this month we're going to explore this idea over two episodes. The reason I want to talk about this is because we've talked a lot about cycles -- lunar and creative -- but there are so many different cycles around us. One of the things that's really important to me as I go through this season and chapter of my own business, and I teach this and I use this myself to optimise and honour my own energy, is to recognize every season that surrounds us since we all experience energy differently. So let's dive in! Visit this episode's blog post here: www.melanieknights.com/podcast/honouring-the-different-seasons-of-business

Hey Outlaws, today we are joined by Ali Knight, an intuitive soul coach and empowered alchemist (could we be anymore similar)? I met Ali when I attended her retreat in Rhoscolyn and her presence left such an incredible and permanent impact on me. We are having an incredible conversation today that is all about truth and confidently choosing yourself. You'll hear some powerful parts of her own experience and story of stepping into her truth along with some really actionable tips to connect with yourself and build from there. Enjoy!

“She believed she could, so she did,” I used to love and live by this quote, or at least I used to try and live by. I used to believe that this was who I was meant to be. I was faking it till I made it. I was pretending because I desperately wanted to believe in myself. But in reality, this just created trauma for me as a business owner, and I quickly suffered from comparisonitis and a loss of direction. So instead, I decided to do business how I wanted to do it. I believed I could, but I didn't have to – I didn't have to do what bro marketing and business coaches were telling me. This is when Entrepreneurial Outlaws was born. I'm breaking down this saying and where we can go from here on this last episode in our special Mindset Myth series. Enjoy!

Hey Outlaws, welcome to episode 69.  Today we are continuing our Mindset Myth series, and as promised, we are gonna be talking about hustle. Today on the podcast, I have sourced many of the most common clichés, girl boss quotes, statements, phrases, whatever you want to call them – these things designed to inspire us and motivate us, but to be truthful are very toxic and a little bit dangerous to our energy and mental health. I know that many of you have probably heard these quotes and you've probably been inspired by them at some point (as have I), but as we start to see through that and really start to honor our time and our energy more and more, I think that most of us are probably rolling our eyes at them. So today I'm gonna share with you a few of these toxic quotes and we're going to talk about how they can be really detrimental to our businesses and some of the ways we can challenge and reframe this idea that we'd rather be tired all the time than broke. Visit this episode's blog post here: www.melanieknights.com/podcast/mindset-myths-id-rather-be-tired-than-broke

Last week on the show we introduced our newest series, Mindset Myths, where we're breaking down some of the biggest myths that we are constantly taught as online business owners. We started with the idea that nothing can grow in our comfort zones, and today we're going to talk about how boundaries have been weaponised in the online space, how people use them to shirk their responsibilities, and then how we can actually honor our boundaries in a healthy and mindfully productive way. Please know that setting boundaries isn't always easy to do and it's important to believe that whatever journey you're currently on is the right one. Have a myth that you want discussed on the show? Head on over to Instagram and send me a message! Visit this episode's blog post here: www.melanieknights.com/podcast/mindset-myths-boundaries

Hey Outlaws, welcome to episode 67 of the podcast. Recently on Instagram, I asked the Outlaw community what they believed some of the biggest clichés of growing an online business were and I got a lot of really great responses. So, from that feedback we are embarking on a new series where we break down these clichés, where they come from, and how to move away from them. First up, we're covering the whole idea of comfort zones and the push to step outside of them. In this episode we're going to talk about how to reframe how you think about your comfort zone and learning to believe that you actually can grow within it. Grab your journal, your favorite warm cup of coffee or tea, and dig in with me! Visit this episode's blog post here: www.melanieknights.com/podcast/mindset-myths-nothing-grows-in-your-comfort-zone

I'm so excited for this guest episode of Entrepreneurial Outlaws -- Jenna Teague and Bre Byrd are here to chat about their work with LGBTQIA+ allyship in business. Jenna and Bre are moving past “safe spaces” and into “affirming spaces” and today they are sharing exactly what that can look like for you as a business owner who wants to be an ally. This work is so needed and Jenna and Bre are doing the work to make it easily accessible. This conversation not only made me think, but left me with a ton of action steps and I hope it does the same for you.  Visit this episode's blog post here.

Hey Outlaws. Welcome to episode number 65. Today we are going to have another cozy episode, and I feel like I've said this a lot over the last couple of months, but this episode might be a little bit different. I'm actually going to be going through my planning by the moon planner, in real time with you. We're going to look at some of the ways in which we can celebrate and evaluate the last three months of our businesses, but also what we can look to plan out in the Spring, how we can use the moon cycle and this upcoming new season to really help us thrive and flourish in our businesses. So once again, grab your Planning by the Moon Journal and dig in with me! Visit this episode's blog post here.

This week, as promised, we are gonna be really taking a slow and ease-filled half an hour to really dig into the full moon, it's energy, and how we can use it to plan our business. In February, the full moon is in Leo - also known as the snow moon - and this full moon is really asking us to take a pause. So, if you have the opportunity to pause and go and grab a journal and pen, I encourage you to do so because I am gonna be sharing some channel prompts with you in today's episode. At the end of this episode, it's my hope that you'll be ready to let go of personal limitations and ready to invite in more play and creativity to your day to day. Visit this episode's blog post here: www.melanieknights.com/podcast/planning-by-the-moon-the-full-moon

Welcome to the newest episode of Entrepreneurial Outlaws! Today I want to introduce our newest series - planning by the moon. When we plan our businesses using the lunar cycle there is an amazing intersection of spirituality, self-inquiry, and planning. Since I've been using the moon to help me to plan, I feel empowered and more aligned with my work. So I want to start today off by sharing how I plan under the new moon, and next week we'll dive into the full moon. Grab your Planning by the Moon planner if you have it and dig in with me!

Hey Outlaws, I'm so excited to bring on the master of multi-passionate entrepreneurship, D'Ana Joi Spencer, on the podcast today. Joi believes that having many passions is a gift, not a burden, and she's on a mission to rewrite the narrative that we must choose one thing to be successful. This episode is going to challenge so much of what we've been taught about running an online business, and it's much needed. You'll hear why you should choose to but yourself first rather than niching down, how to find the right support as a multi-passionate, and so much more. Enjoy!

Welcome to the last instalment of our Slow Business series! In this episode, we are going to be looking at how to plan and strategise a slow business because if we look at slow business as an extension of the slow living movement. We know that slow living is about living in the present, right? So it's less chaotic and there are different ways in which you can embrace that. There are ways that we can plan ahead and there are ways that we can strategize and really formulate a plan that feels really good for your energy. That's what I want to go through with you today. We are going to talk about how we can still be reactive and still have slow businesses, but we can also put a plan in place so that we are not completely walking into the unknown. Enjoy! Visit this episode's blog post here: www.melanieknights.com/podcast/slow-business-how-to-plan-and-strategise

Hey Outlaws, I wanted to drop this bonus episode today to introduce my newest community: Small Biz Snail Mail. This project is something that has been on my heart for a while and it honestly feels like soul work. When I introduced this idea to my email list and Instagram followers, I got a ton of positive feedback. So join me for the next 8 minutes to hear more about how the community works and how I think it could be really beneficial to you and your business.   To join Small Biz Snail Mail, click here.

Hey there, beautiful Outlaws, welcome to today's episode. I am really looking forward to continuing our conversation around slow business. Today, as we continue the series, I am going to be exploring and potentially answering the question of how to make a slow business that is sustainable. I think this is really important because we associate making money with hard work, and I'm not talking about somebody having a good work ethic. I 100% value that in people. However, I don't think your work ethic relates to how many hours you work and I think that's a really important distinction to make. So I want to share my journey of how that mindset has changed for me so that you can maybe take steps to grow your slow business today, too. Visit this episode's blog post here: www.melanieknights.com/podcast/slow-business-how-to-make-a-slow-business-sustainable

Hey Outlaws, welcome to episode 59 of the podcast! In today's episode, and the episodes in the coming weeks, we are gonna be talking about slow business. So I want to start by putting this out there, by drawing my line in the sand and challenging the status quo ever so slightly, which I enjoy doing, and I'm gonna say this: you don't have to grow your business this year. We're pushed to hustle at the start of a new year, to scale for six or seven figures, but I'm here to tell you that you don't have to do that and this doesn't make you inadequate or incapable. So, I'm sharing my own journey with creating a slow business and choosing nurturing over hustling. I hope it encourages you to maybe do the same, too.

Welcome to 2022, this is our first episode of the year, and we are going to start the year off by reflecting together and taking a look back at 2021. I want to share with you some of the intentions that I had for the past 12 months, the goals I set for myself, and my recent business projects. There were so many good things in 2021, but there were also some really hard moments, too. I want to share with you those challenges, but also the lessons that I took from them, because I think that's really important. There are also some really positive lessons too, even through the rollercoaster of emotions that I experienced in my business. Reflecting back has allowed me to more easily decide how I want to run and lead my business 2022. Maybe this episode will help you do the same. Enjoy!

We're in that strange period of time between Christmas and New Year, so I thought it'd be a perfect time to air another favorite episode of the podcast. This was the first episode that came from conversations I was having with clients and my peers during the pandemic when we were feeling overwhelmed and overloaded. If you're feeling like you're in that state now, like business has to be hard and fast paced, this episode will serve as a good reminder for you because friend, your business can feel easy.   Visit this episode's original blog post here for more: https://melanieknights.com/podcast/bonus-episode-allowing-business-to-feel-easy

Today is a special throwback episode of one of the most downloaded episodes of the pod! I'll be giving you nine practical journaling tips for resistant entrepreneurs, because although I was resistant to journaling for a really long time, I've also started to understand why I was so resistant and what it had to do with my rebellious nature. This episode will make you feel better and more comfortable with your own journaling practice so that it can become a staple of your business.

Welcome Outlaws, I am so excited to sit down and chat with you today. We're going to have a really, kind of slow, calm, and really nurturing and nourishing episode today. The holiday season can bring up a lot of different feelings. I know for me it feels very festive, but also fast paced - so it's easy to slack a bit on boundaries. So, in order to prevent any type of burnout, I wanted to share 8 journaling prompts that will help you tap into your creative rest cycle so you can feel fully nurtured these next few weeks.

Welcome to episode 54 of Entrepreneurial Outlaws! Today, as you can probably tell by the title of this episode, I am going to be sharing with you some of the biggest takeaways I took from a retreat I went to back in November. To start, let's just say that it was eye-opening, very emotional, very raw, and transformative. To be honest, I didn't expect this from the retreat, so I was really being called to share these takeaways with you. If you're having trouble balancing who you want to be with who you currently are, this episode is for you.

Hey Outlaws, welcome to episode 53 of the podcast. As an online business owner, we all have people we've met online that we get to know beyond the business. Lindley Ashline, fat positive photographer, writer, and activist, is one of those people for me. She's the true definition of an Entrepreneurial Outlaw, and you'll hear why in our conversation today. We're talking about how she fights weight stigma every day and her experience of creating a space that is diverse and authentic for marginalized business owners. You'll also hear how we can all create more inclusive business in the online space and beyond. Visit this episode's blog post here: www.melanieknights.com/podcast/building-diverse-and-inclusive-businesses-with-lindley-ashline

Today's episode is going to be a little bit different, and I know I saw that often, but I'm really excited about this one. I'm doing something that I haven't done before - I'm taking you through a day in the life. Of course I'm not going to be carrying my microphone around with me all day long, but what I want to focus on in terms of my day in the life is really how I plan my business, how I plan my week, my days, and what I think about when I'm doing that planning. I'm also going to take you through kind of how I work and my personal ways of working on different types of tasks, because I realized as I was preparing for this episode, I approach all of my tasks in different ways. I hope this gets you thinking about how you can make planning and your business work for you!

Hey Outlaws, welcome to this cozy chat that is episode 51 of Entrepreneurial Outlaws. In 2020, my income grew rapidly and it grew in ways I just could not even comprehend. This led me to feeling burnt out and low on passion and inspiration. So today I wanted to share how and why I took a complete step back from my business to restructure things so that I was truly doing the work that I love the most while also creating a sustainable income. Yes, we are going to be talking about passive/multiple streams of income, but we're going to outlaw it of course. So, grab your journal and tune in.

Hey Outlaws, welcome to episode number 50, which is a big deal. I'm excited because I'm going to be taking you behind the scenes of my most recent project in today's episode -- the Planning by the Moon Planner, something that I've been working on for about three months. I've found this newfound energy of wanting to get back into planning again as life feels a bit more predictable now. However, this time around, I will be intentional about aligning my planning with the moon cycle, which I'm going to share all about today. So get cozy and enjoy!

Hey Outlaws, this is episode 48 of the podcast, and today we are doing something a little bit different, I am going to be exploring a general prompt from the Outlaw Journal with you. In this episode, I had planned originally to choose a prompt ahead of time, but I think it's going to be more fun for me to just pick a prompt at random and for us to dig in together, almost as if we are doing a live coaching or mentoring session. So get comfy wherever you're at with a cup of hot coffee or tea, grab your favorite pen, and open up your Outlaw Journal, and let's explore together.

As a reminder, in these shorter episodes, we will be taking a look at a specific challenge or struggle which entrepreneurs face on a regular basis and I'll be answering the question of what would an Outlaw do? So, today we're going to be talking about self promotion and how to overcome the fears that come with it.
