Invested in coaches and mentors. You have gone to the workshops. You know cash is a bit tight right now, so why are you still buying courses and programs?

On today’s show I am going to outline five lessons I learned at the She Podcasts LIVE conference that are relevant to freelance business owners. She Podcasts LIVE was an inaugural conference for the She Podcasts community, which started as a Facebook group that now has 14,000 members—all women podcasters. There’s also a She Podcasts podcast hosted by co-creators Elsie Escobar and Jessica Kupferman. While I learned a bunch of podcast strategies and tips at the conference, there were also tips and reminders that can be helpful for all freelance business owners, no matter what service you provide. Lesson #1 is brought to you by Erica Mandy, host of the very successful podcast the NewsWorthy. Erica is an experienced broadcast journalist who quit her job and launched a daily 10-minute news podcast just a few years ago. In her session at She Podcasts, she offered up the The Six Cs of Success. No. 1 is confidence. Erica says you have to have the confidence that you are resourceful and that you can figure out the solutions. She posed the question: What is the traffic jam in your business? We ask this of our clients, but we should also ask it of ourselves: What is the problem you’re trying to solve? This also reminds me of the book I’m reading right now: Marie Forleo’s “Everything Is Figureoutable.” Lesson #2 was also from Erica’s list: consistency. As Erica said: You have to take it seriously when no one is looking. It takes a lot of work to work ON your business, not just IN your business. Are we doing the marketing and networking and analyzing and planning when no one is looking? Lesson #3 comes from Phylecia Jones, creator of iFind You Close, a research company that helps people find speaking gigs. During a period of time when Phylecia was trying to get more people to pay attention to her and her podcast—which was called Ask the Budgetologist—she asked herself every morning: Who needs to know my name today? Think about it: Don’t you want clients and potential clients to immediately think of you when they need a freelancer that provides the services you do? Almost all of my work is from referrals. That means people know my name. My clients think of me when they have work, but they also think to recommend me to others. Lesson #4 is a combo. It’s spend more time with LinkedIn. At the She Podcasts conference, Karen Yankovich, CEO of Uplevel Media, presented a stellar presentation on how to maximize LinkedIn. A few quick tips: Put LinkedIn on your phone and log in and save the password, so you can more quickly respond to LinkedIn outreach. If you spot a green dot on someone’s profile photo that means they are on LinkedIn now, so you should contact them no. Make sure the keywords that pop up on Your Dashboard (on your profile page) are the keywords you want to be known for. Lesson #5: Take care of yourself. I’ve mentioned before how much I love conferences but also that I’m a complete introvert. I have to prepare myself for all that networking and people time. While I loved the overall She Podcasts vibe, a few sessions started out with bold  interaction, including describing our podcasts to a stranger in a superhero voice. I implore all conference speakers and meeting planners: I know you’re looking to make conferences more interactive, but please consider introverts. If you are doing some sort of interactive thing, you need to put that in the session description and you need to say it up front when people walk in the room. Please. As for individuals, You need to take care of yourself in all situations. There’s a balance between opening yourself up to new experiences and taking care of your own needs. This may mean walking out if you are uncomfortable, saying no, skipping sessions to relax alone in your hotel room. In your business, this means structuring your business around what works best for your productivity but also your mental health. It could mean not taking calls after work hours. Not working on weekends. Saying no to a project with glaring red flags. Saying no to volunteer activities because you’re overwhelmed. Notice how a lot of these examples are simply saying no. YOU are the owner and creator of your business. YOU are in charge. You don’t want to put off the vibe that you’re desperate and will do ANYTHING for a client or to accept a project. It needs to be the right fit for YOU. So, take care of yourself.   Biz Bite: Embrace whimsy The Bookshelf: “The Widows of Malabar Hill” by Sujata Massey Resources: Episode #24 of Deliberate Freelancer: Networking Tips, Especially as an Introvert Episode #6 of Deliberate Freelancer: Make the Most of Conferences Episode #25 of Deliberate Freelancer: Finding Your Community, with She Podcasts Co-Founder Jessica Kupferman She Podcasts Erica Mandy’s The NewsWorthy podcast “Everything is Figureoutable” by Marie Forleo  Phylecia Jones’ iFind You Close Ask the Budgetologist podcast Karen Yankovich and Good Girls Get Rich podcast

Sometimes I stand in front of things I want to buy knowing they are outside of my “budget”. I look at sweaters and shoes and first class plane tickets and imagine the day that they will mean the same to me as a cup of coffee. Can you relate? If you are an entrepreneurial minded person you no doubt have those dreams too. However, to make a million dollars, 10 million dollars, $100,000 or even $10,000 it starts with making one dollar and learning how to manage that one dollar. I receive bad advice on the daily about how you have to “spend money to make money”. Not all opportunities are created equal and I have learned that spending more than you are bringing in is never a good idea, not matter what. If that means you clean your own house while you listen to podcasts, do it. If that means you buy the podcast producer but not buy new UGGS, do it. If it means you make it to the team training cross country but fly Spirit, do it. A lot of us are in the middle of the journey. The place where discipline is high and the margins are tight. I am in the place where I am making enough to not go to a job but not enough to buy everything my heart desires. I am open and vocal about these because these are the realities for entrepreneurs and no one is showing up and talking about it. Instead people are posting perceived success on Instagram to mask the fact they are living in a mountain of credit card debt. STOP. I am screaming at the top of my lungs for this to stop and people are finally starting to listen. You CAN attract business partners with real life. You can’t be afraid, you just have to put yourself out there. 80% of American’s are in debt. We need to change that. We need to stop spending and start saving. We need to stop trying to keep up with other people in debt and start being honest about how we need to live right now. Today’s guest is all about this and we get raw and real. As the CEO of Keep Up with Mrs. Jones LLC, Creator of Budget School, a premier business financial education platform, and Host of the daily morning show Ask the Budgetologist, Phylecia Jones is the savvy go-to budgeting nerd, international speaker, and trainer. After serving as a civilian Scientist and Engineer for the US Navy, Phylecia launched her skills into changing the world one budget-at-a-time and is now opening the door for many solo entrepreneur coaches and consultants to have that must needed wake-up call to get serious about managing money. Since being a money nerd is not enough, Phylecia's life has included traveling the world, being a professional cheerleader, 100hrs towards being a yacht captain… and achieving an eclectic list of random cool things! In this episode we talk about: No one is going to do it for you. If you really want it, you’re going to have to make the opportunity happen You need to stand out in your field How to be an influencer Stop being afraid and put yourself out there How to find your voice How to reach Phylecia: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/phyleciajones Instagram: @keepupwithmrsjones https://www.keepupwithmrsjones.com/ Much love to you this week. xoxo G  COMING SOON!  In the next few weeks you will have access to a brand-new academy for network marketers.  Join our mailing list to be notified when the course is ready!  Mailing List: http://eepurl.com/de_lEH  Instagram:  @gretchen_heinen

Money, money, money! Okay, so two weeks back, we spoke with Meriflor Toneatto on simple, practical tips to manifest more money in your work and in your life. Now, I want to talk about simplifying how you handle the budgeting side of your money, both for your personal finances and for your business. My guest today is Phylecia Jones, a self-proclaimed Budgetologist and money management expert that's going to help us wake up and stop SUCKING at budgeting! In this episode, you will learn: What is the first step to wrangling your personal finances? The J.O.N.E.S. approach to budgeting You'll also get the wake up call you (might) need to manage your business finances better The importance of giving yourself a salary, no matter what How a budget actually gives you power in making good business decisions The difference between “managing” your budget and “feeding” your budget. (spoiler alert: you MUST do both to thrive!) Phylecia and I are kindred spirits as we both love to geek out on spreadsheets and numbers. But I promise this episode is anything but boring. She breaks it all down in simple, simple terms for us to take action on it all, immediately! So if talking about your money situation is SCARY, this episode was made just for you, friend.   Show notes available with all LINKS mentioned here:   https://thesimplifiers.com/podcast/020-phylecia-jones/
