I'm still on break, so I'm bringing back one of my favorite episodes from 2021. I had the pleasure of chatting with Varci Media founder and CEO Shondell Varcianna about her journey from working in the financial industry to serving financial institutions with her content writing services.Her story is particularly interesting because, at one point, her business served a general clientele, but she realized that the general approach was NOT working for her. So she decided to narrow her company's focus. We talk about how she came to make that decision and what it means to find your niche as a business owner.Shondell also gives practical tips for online business owners to find and listen to potential customers and clients and supercharge your process for finding content ideas.

Keeping it real, I feel like I wasted so much time trying to figure out selling and running a business when I first got started. It turns out that my first few sales where just around the corner when I got support, got focused, and took imperfect actions. Over the years, my sales process has evolved as I've narrowed down the most important activities for finding and signing new clients. But it wasn't easy. There were roadblocks, mindset drama, self-confidence issues and more. Making a conscious effort to deal with it all as it came gave me my edge and I know the same will be true for you if this is something you're struggling with in your business. I'm going to walk you through, step by step, through my process of signing my first high-ticket clients and show you how you can do the same.

In this episode, I sit down with Olivia Owens, the creator and general manager of iFundWomen of Color. We sat down to geek out on all things crowdfunding including dispelling some of the top myths about crowdfunding for entrepreneurs.Olivia fills us in on what makes a successful crowdfunding campaign, the importance of building community, and why there are no magical money elves in business or crowdfunding."There's so much strategy and pre-work that goes into it," Olivia Owens says. "And so we've always seen coaching as a core part of being able to crowdfund successfully. We also know that women on our platform who invest in our coaching and video services raise 27x the crowdfunding industry average."Follow Olivia Owens on Instagram @olivialowens and follow @IFundWomen.Resources mentioned in this episode iFundWomen of Color Brilliant Business Momentum 1-on-1 coaching More on KhalidaKhalida DuBose is a business mentor specializing in sales strategy.

Most of us don't know it, but we're subconsciously limited by multiple fears. There is the fear of putting ourselves out there for scrutiny, the fear of how our colleagues (past and present) view us, and the fear of failure. Oh, and there's the fear of success, too.These fears can be debilitating.In this episode, I want to address five fears that I encounter in my work with entrepreneurs. These are women who work in the online space and are often just getting started. But rather than solely identify these issues, I want to give you the means to understand and reframe the underlying causes so you can unlock your best self.For 1-on-1 coaching, visit my website at khalidadubose.com/coaching.Resources mentioned in this episodeMindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol DweckMore on KhalidaKhalida DuBose is a business mentor and crowdfunding advisor.

I have a history of hiring people when I don't know how to do something. Whenever I'm tackling something big or new, I need a playbook or a roadmap to get it done. And I've found that hiring is the fastest way to accomplish my goals. So much of building a business is about supplementing your own genius with that of others. This is especially true for people like me who require 1-on-1 attention. That's why I've hired coaches in the past to help me grow my business. Because when I didn't know something, I was able to take advantage of the experience and knowledge of others. In this episode, I break down why hiring a business coach can benefit new entrepreneurs and some of the objections I hear.

I have the pleasure of chatting with Varci Media founder and CEO Shondell Varcianna about her journey from working in the financial industry to serving financial institutions with her content writing services. Her story is fascinating because, at one point, her business served a general clientele, but she realized that the general approach was NOT working for her. So she decided to narrow her company's focus. We talk about how she came to make that decision and what it means to really find your niche as a business owner. Shondell also gives practical tips for online business owners to find and listen to potential customers and clients and how to supercharge your process for finding content ideas.

So much of the sales process is nerve-rattling. It's hard enough to get potential clients for most business owners, but it's even harder to standardize the process once you start growing and trying to scale. Plus, what if you've never been on a sales call before? I've done thousands of sales calls, and there is a TON of advice out there about what you should do, what you should say, and what you shouldn't say. In this episode, I break down the sales process into three easy steps for new business owners to help simplify everything. Those steps include: The pre-conversation — How you need to prepare your potential clients for the first meeting. The sales call — How you structure the call, and how to handle objections. The follow-up — What you need to do if your potential client says yes, or "I don't know." If you're interested in 1-on-1 coaching to help your sales process, please visit khalidadubose.com/coaching.

I really wish somebody would've sat me down and walked me through exactly what I needed to do when I started my business. It would've saved me a lot of headache and anxiety if I just knew how to go about finding customers. And when it came time to create my first offer, it would've helped me to know what steps to take to ensure I was solving my customers' problems and building lasting value for my business. That's what this week's episode is about. I go through the five steps to creating an offer for service-based businesses.

Like most Black women and women of color, when I was a little girl, I was taught that I'm supposed to be strong. That there is nobody coming to rescue me and that if I want something done right, I have to do it myself. In business, that doesn't work.
