I'm VERY excited to have a special guest, Lindsy Trotter, on the podcast today! Lindsy has become one of my ‘business besties', and someone I've loved getting to work and connect with on a deeper level. Our paths have crossed in multiple ways this year; she joined one of my masterminds + we both joined Suzy Holman's mastermind, and we have a LOT in common (kind of feels like we have the same brain). Like so many of us, Lindsy has dealt with perfectionist and overachiever tendencies, and she loved checking ALLLL the boxes. As an ADHD entrepreneur who's an Enneagram 3, she had accomplished so much already, but was not feeling fulfilled in her business. She was struggling with what to do next, and had multiple signs telling her that something wasn't ‘right' in her business, with her health, etc.Ultimately, she knew she needed to slow down, ‘unplug' more, and make some drastic changes in her life. Now, Lindsy has a renewed sense of excitement for her business and what's to come - she's truly FLOURISHING!In this episode, we cover:Lindsy's journey from teacher to entrepreneur, and the full-on ‘hustle and grind' mode she was in as she built her businessWhen you're misaligned/don't know what's next in your business, and feel like ‘burning it down' is all that's left to doWhy therapy and ‘feeling your feelings' isn't necessarily fun or enjoyable, but is crucial when you're ready for the next chapter in your lifeLindsy's upcoming course + what she wishes she better understood her first year in businessHow ADHD has impacted Lindsy + how she shows up in businessBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://emilyreuschel.com/116-morning-sun-entrepreneurship-with-adhd-and-burning-it-down-with-lindsy-trotter/ Connect with Lindsy:Get on the waitlist for Lindsy's upcoming course HEREFollow on Instagram @lindsy.trotter and @chilledfreezermealsCheck out her websiteConnect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with on LinkedInSome links referenced below are affiliate links which means I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

When you think about kindness, do you believe it applies in business, or do you assume you need to be ruthless, wear sharp suits, and tread over anyone in your way? Or do you think otherwise? In this week's I Hate Numbers podcast, we explore the place of kindness in business and whether it truly belongs there.The Essence of KindnessSpoiler alert: kindness does have a place in business. But what exactly is kindness? Why is kindness not a weakness but a superpower? And how can we practice kindness in our business? Let's dive in and explore these concepts.Defining Kindness in BusinessWhen we think about kindness, we might envision helping people across the road, being kind to animals, and generally being nice and pleasant. While this is a reasonable definition, in business it extends beyond that. It involves treating others with respect, understanding, empathy, and care. Additionally, it means being direct and honest without being overly critical.Kindness: A Strength, Not a WeaknessAlthough some might mistake kindness for weakness, it actually requires strength and courage to demonstrate it in business. Kindness is about building trust, which is the foundation of any successful business. When we are kind, we build loyalty with our team, clients, and partners, leading to long-term success.Building Trust and LoyaltyTrust and loyalty are essential in business. They ensure that customers return, staff stay committed, and employees go the extra mile. A strong foundation of kindness fosters positive interactions with everyone involved in the business, from team members to suppliers and customers.Constructive FeedbackKindness in business also means having direct and honest conversations. This doesn't mean being rude or aggressive, but rather providing constructive feedback and being honest. People appreciate honesty and prefer constructive feedback, which helps them grow and improve.Customer RelationsIn customer relations, kindness plays a significant role. Customers remember how you make them feel more than the service you provide. A kind approach to customer service, managing boundaries carefully, and being straightforward with customers enhances their overall experience.Stress ReductionKindness can also be a great stress reliever. The business world can be stressful, and having a positive, kind outlook can reduce stress, improving overall well-being and physical health. A welcoming environment is more conducive to productivity and satisfaction than one filled with tension.Practicing Kindness in BusinessPracticing kindness in business is fundamental and must be genuine. Small, sincere acts of kindness can make a significant difference. Active listening, showing appreciation, being empathetic, and offering help where needed are simple ways to incorporate kindness into daily business practices.Effective CommunicationClear, open, and respectful communication is crucial. Avoid ambiguity and ensure your communication is honest and direct. This helps in building a positive working environment and fosters better relationships.ConclusionKindness in business is a powerful tool that builds trust, creates a positive working environment, fosters teamwork, improves customer relations, reduces stress, and encourages personal growth. Far from being a weakness, kindness is a strength that drives

Today I'm joined by Sanya Rajpal, Founder and CEO of AdagioVR.Sanya is an Activist, International Development Expert and Serial Entrepreneur dedicated to transforming systems that unleash individual potential - and a truly remarkable individual in her own right.She built her first company while at Law School, Dignifly, with the goal to empower people to transform their own lives and solve problems in their communities and the world.She then went on to the UN to focus on growing tech entrepreneurship ecosystems before co-founding her latest venture, AdagioVR with her father.AdagioVR is a mental health and high-performance startup using cutting-edge clinical and therapeutic techniques that drive preventative mental wellbeing and behaviour change through Virtual Reality.Now, I'm often skeptical about VR being applied to lots of, in my opinion, not very useful use cases. But this is one where I have personally used the tech, and for me it was genuinely game changing, helping me work through some trauma that I have put a lot of time and therapy into, and hasn't made the same difference.So personally, I am honestly forever grateful to Sanya already for the work she's done.In this episode we discuss:What Nobel Prize winner and social entrepreneur Muhammad Yunus told Sanya about creating changeHow to secure leverage in businessWhen your strength becomes your weaknessBeing told you're the wrong person to front your own venture if you raise - hello, a lot of biasWhy it's time to let go of funding FOMOLinks:Checkout AdagioVR - https://adagiovr.comJoin the waitlist - https://adagiovr.com/jointhewaitinglistConnect with Sanya on Instagram & LinkedInRebel Ideas: The Power of Diverse Thinking by Matthew Syed - https://www.matthewsyed.co.uk/book/rebel-ideas-the-power-of-diverse-thinking/Listen to our episode with Joyeeta Das - https://open.spotify.com/episode/2NV8fCzOUKaGSU0xeUQwMJ?si=8blzNAQQR2uErhOpj0SN2w

“Talking about business from a non-business angle is something that I've really enjoyed being able to do,” says Alex York, entrepreneurship journalist at Insider. Alex covers business innovators who are changing the world, underrepresented founders, the future of work and how it affects the rest of us in our daily lives for Insider. If you're a female founder, it's almost guaranteed that you've read Alex's work before---even if you're just meeting her today. But today it's Alex who's in the hot seat with host, Lindsay Pinchuk, spilling the tea about how to land press as a founder. Alex shares how to stand out in a pitch, best ways to network with reporters, what to do if you keep getting turned down, and so much more. Key takeaways from today's episode include:There are many ways to pitch an editor outside of emailShow who you are as a person outside of your businessWhen pitching, show the notable moment that led to your success or a notable trend you are starting or followingInclude the metrics of success along with that notable momentPut your face on your brand and tell your storyQuotes• “There are so many other ways to really connect with people that you want to tell your story. Whether that's a DM on Instagram or an invite to an event that you're throwing, it can really make a difference to just show who you are as a person beyond what your business is.” (10:07-10:43 | Alex)• “Right now, especially, people are buying products based on who the founder is. And that's why being the face of your brand is so important.” (10:43-10:51 | Alex)• “There are so many pitches I get that are founders doing something great. Point blank. But to differentiate yourself from all the other founders in the world, it's really about how you have innovated on what a lot of other people are doing right now to directly lead to your success.That's what's going to make you stand out as a business owner.” (18:52-19:12 | Alex)Connect with Alex York:Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/alexy0rkPlease don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Dear FoundHer on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!You can now work with Lindsay 1:1 to build and monetize your community through the same method she used to grow and scale her business.

In this episode of SaaS Origin Stories, Phil speaks with Geoff Roberts, Co-Founder of Outseta, the only all-in-one platform that integrates subscription billing, email marketing, support, CRM, and reporting tools which reduces costs, maintenance, and helps SaaS startups get off the ground faster. He is also the founder of SaaS Growth Strategy, and was previously the Vice President of Marketing at Roambi.They discuss just how ruthless prioritization within your company can be, the revolutionary, problem solving methodology of Outseta, why you don't need to know everything about SaaS in order to be successful, and the importance of sharing your entrepreneurial journey.Guest at a Glance:Name: Geoff RobertsAbout Geoff: Geoff is the Co-Founder of Outseta, the only all-in-one platform that integrates subscription billing, email marketing, CRM and more which reduces costs and maintenance. It was designed to help SaaS startups get off the ground faster. He is also the founder of SaaS Growth Strategy and was previously the Vice President of Marketing at Roambi.Geoff on LinkedInGeoff's TwitterOutseta on LinkedInOutseta's WebsiteTopics we cover:The problem-solving methodology of OutsetaWhy you know need to know absolutely everything about SaaSThe helpfulness of sharing your entrepreneurial journeyHow ruthless prioritisation within a business can beThe difficulty of having to face the hard truths about your businessWhen your product isn't quite as good as you think it is yetKey Takeaways:The Problem-Solving Methodology of OutsetaIt is said that, in order to build a successful business, you need to create something which either solves a problem/fulfils a need or entertains an audience. In creating Outseta, Geoff was able to solve a hefty amount of business' problems.All SaaS or membership businesses need the same fundamental technological tools: a billing system, a CRM for prospecting customer data, and marketing tools to communicate with customers. Outseta is the only company bringing all of these tools together under one platform. Geoff compares it to the way Shopify works for e-commerce, and just like a lot of the world's best ideas, Outseta was born out of personal experience and agitation towards the complexities of building a company which needed all of these tools. You Don't Need to Know Everything About SaaS to be SuccessfulDespite developing such an ingenious SaaS platform, Geoff reveals that he didn't create Outseta due to any real attachment to SaaS, rather it was out of his love for startups and their evolution. He is also responsible for almost everything at Outseta apart from developing the tools themselves: sales, support, marketing, and internal operations. But how? He claims that his writing degree was probably one of the most beneficial things to happen to him. And yet, despite not having any inherent connection to the SaaS industry, he has been able to make waves and offer a revolutionary, groundbreaking platform for any startup who needs it!Share Your Entrepreneurial Journey into SaaSGeoff recommends that, when starting your SaaS business, share your entrepreneurial journey with the world. It can be incredibly beneficial to show off to everyone how much you've grown. This can develop a sense of trust between yourself and potential new clients and customers. Not only that, but it is naturally interesting to see how a business grows over time. It's like watching evolution in real time.“This is not something I expected going in, but a huge part of our customer acquisition strategy is simply sharing our own entrepreneurial journey. I know that a lot of other founders do that; we're certainly not the first company to do so, but I think it actually worked for us as an acquisition strategy because we sell our product to other founders. Just by sharing our own journey, founders tend to be interested in that kind of stuff.”The Ruthlessness of Prioritization With the sheer quantity of tools that Outseta uses, they had to figure out which aspects to prioritize amidst its creation. In order to do this, they had to look at what it was that all subscription and membership SaaS services use and where they would focus their energies.When beginning your startup, you will have to ruthlessly prioritize your work. Some ideas simply won't make the cut or, at the very least, won't get as much attention as others. But this is okay, just make sure you are prioritizing the right things.Once a Developer, Always a DeveloperGeoff acknowledges that for the first few years of Outseta's existence, they were trying to sell to too much of a niche audience. Instead of trying to sell to business founders, they were selling to founders who were also developers. So, when the time came to pitch to them, they would often just make the tools themselves. This isn't logical, but it is rational, and both parties involved know this; once you're a developer, you can't shed that programmed, coded skin.Know who you're pitching to—a niche audience is good, vital even, but if it's too niche then you may run into some problems.“The hard truth was we were trying to change the predominant behavior of developers. I would have a lot of conversations with developers where I would say ‘It's not the best use of your time to spend all of this time integrating these tools. Why don't you focus your time on building your product rather than building all these tools.' And they would nod and say, ‘That makes a completely logical sense,' and then they would go and build it anyway. It's just what they're accustomed to, even if it didn't make the most logical sense.”Sometimes, the Product Just Isn't Good Enough YetYou could have the best ever idea for a product, but you need to be able to acknowledge that you won't always get it to perfection right away. It'll take time, and there may even be moments when you think it's over, but it doesn't mean it is. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is face the hard truth and think about the way you can improve and be better in order to grow.

How confident are you that your business is safe from hackers and scammers? Did you know that 46% of small and medium businesses have been targeted by ransomware and 73% of those have paid the ransom? This is one of the most serious threats to businesses today.But given that this podcast is about hiring, why are we all of a sudden talking about hackers, ransomeware and cyber crime?Well, the security of your systems is only as strong as your weakest link and this, in most cases, is people. It would thus make sense that when hiring and onboarding new team members you would also want to understand their approach to security.In this episode I am joined by Jan-Henry Ohlert, the CTO of Autobahn Security to discuss exactly that.

You may think that by narrowing your area of expertise you will drive away a lot of clients.Well actually – that's true.But you will be driving away the clients that you don't want to work with. The PITA clients, the one's that will moan about your prices, the ones that work in industries that you don't really enjoy working with.When you niche, you drive away the people that don't fit your business. BUT…You draw in all the right clients.When you niche, you are actively attracting the kinds of clients that are PERFECT for your business.People will FLOCK from near and far to work with the expert because that's what they value.

Niching helps you draw in clients that will value you and want to work with you desperately. They will appreciate the work you do, and they will spend more money to work specifically with you – the expert.

We have our last Tax Deduction episode of Season 2! If you've been wondering if you can consider your own personal therapy as a tax deduction, we've got the answer. Julie is joined again by Heidi Stepzinski, and they are talking about the different instances where meeting with a fellow therapist can be a tax deduction!Episode Highlights:Most of the time, personal therapy does NOT count as a tax write-offPersonal therapy is a personal expense, not something related to your businessWhen can meeting with a therapist be considered a tax deduction?When meeting with a colleague for professional advice regarding a clientWhen meeting for supervision, education, or trainingWhen meeting with a business coach for the purpose of your practiceWhen researching a service a therapist offers in order to recommend it to your own clientsA good rule of thumb is - if it's not business related, it is considered a personal expense and cannot be considered a deductionAlways keep thorough documentation when meeting with a therapist for business reasons in order for the meeting to be eligible as a tax deductionDISCLAIMER: Always consult with a tax professional to determine what tax deductions you are eligible for.Links & Resources:GreenOak AccountingTherapy For Your Money Podcast

Most handmade small business owners make the common mistake of spending most of their time making inventory... they think that creating is the “meat” of their business and that everything else is just busy work.The truth is, inventory is necessary - we need to have a product to sell and fulfill orders - but it's not going to grow your business on it's own… having inventory does not equal sales.

We're coming out of Winter and moving into Spring, what better time than now to position your business for the next stage of growth. Here are five key points that will help your business reach its goals this year.  1. Client experienceThe biggest topic we've heard over and over again is that today's small businesses need to provide a better client experience. We talked about this topic extensively in our episode with Hank Ebeling of H4 Training (listen here). Why is it when we interact with a small business their quality of work is outstanding but getting them to respond to an email, return a phone call, or send over an estimate is frustrating? Often the answer is the business owner is spending too much of their time working in the business and not on the business. What might seem like busy work to you is what most customers think of as good customer service. The great part though is, just like having the right tools for the job site, the right software can help you automate tasks and provide customer service that matches the quality of your work. 2. Starting a businessWhen it comes to starting a business, a side hustle can be a great way to get started as an entrepreneur. We spoke with Charles Alexander, the Director of the Tennessee Small Business Development Center, and he shared how a side hustle provides a proof of concept (listen here). Growing your business on the side while you continue to work your day job is a solid way to improve your odds of being successful. 3. Launch your business in a way that you aren't just buying yourself a jobThis is an all-too-common pitfall when starting a business. In our episode with Corey Harris and Julie Traxler of SB Pace, they shared how most small business owners that are on the edge of burnout is a result of working harder vs. smarter (listen here). The concept of firing yourself is to get out of the day-to-day operations of the business so that you can focus on the bigger picture – how to improve your offering, find new customers, and delight the customers you do have so they come back for more and give you referrals. Part of the way you can fire yourself is to automate as many of the trivial tasks as possible. Don't overlook this essential step because there is a compounding benefit that is found on the other side.  4. Know your numbersKnowing your numbers all starts with accurate bookkeeping, which not only allows you to borrow money if needed but more importantly allows you to get the data that helps you make better and quicker decisions. Knowing your numbers can help you better understand what products or services are driving profit or if you are even making the profit you thought you were. Many small businesses underprice their services which leaves them with too little profit and can result in failure. That is why smart business owners have adopted the profit-first model we spoke about with Stephen King from GrowthForce (listen here). We also spoke with Danielle Hayden from Kickstart Accounting about how her firm is empowering small business owners with insights so they can grow their businesses faster (listen here). 5. Fix your mindsetAs your business grows, it becomes more and more critical that you approach it with the right mindset. Mikey Moran of Private Label Extensions shared his philosophy: the quicker we can push past those failures, the quicker we can find success on the other side (listen here). As an entrepreneur, you need to be curious, open-minded, and realistic about your weaknesses so you can hire people to fill in those gaps. Don't fall into the trap where you ignore your weaknesses and don't surround yourself with a team that challenges you to grow.   Resources Shared: ThryvHow to Turn Customer Service into a Competitive Advantage – Hank EbelingHow to Start and Grow a Side Hustle into a Successful Small Business - Charles Alexander How to Launch a Business So You're Not Just Buying Yourself a Job - Julie Traxler & Corey HarrisFixing Your Pricing Model Can Help You Live The Dream – Stephen KingHelping Entrepreneurs Understand Their Numbers – Danielle HaydenWhy Having the Right Mindset is Critical to Business Success - Mikey Moran

BIO: Andrew Bryant, CSP is a Global expert on Self Leadership, a C-Suite Advisor, an Award-Winning Coach, and a Best-Selling Author. STORY: Andrew invested heavily in a gym with the plan to offer service-based health and wellness. Low-cost gyms came up and swallowed his business. LEARNING: Understand how to get in and out of a business, test your market first and know what your customers want, not what they need.   “Sunk cost does not account for the learning.” Andrew Bryant   Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewbryant/ (Andrew Bryant), CSP is a Global expert on Self Leadership, a C-Suite Advisor, an Award-Winning Coach, and a Best-Selling Author. English by birth, Australian by passport, Singapore by PR, and Brazilian by wife, Andrew is adept at moving across cultures. Andrew is on a mission to ‘wake people up’ to their best possible selves, which he does through his Conference Keynotes, Leadership Team Facilitation, and Coaching. He is Leadership Faculty for Singapore Management University, where he also contributes to the Women in Leadership Program and is most proud of the work he has done building self-esteem and confidence for at-risk teenagers. Worst investment everAndrew’s first degree is in physiotherapy. He worked in hospitals for a couple of years and later with sports teams. Bringing his strengths together to build a businessAndrew decided to bring together his medical and sports experience to create a wellness center. So he bought a gym. Andrew had always been critical of gyms because they were poorly managed, and there were many myths about fitness. He planned to bring science to fitness as a physiotherapist. Investing too heavilyAndrew overly invested in the gym without realizing that he was paying for things he didn’t need to pay for. Then he hired the best human resource graduates from the local university to be personal trainers and paid them a lot. He believed that would make the difference. Andrew invested in equipment, real estate, and staff. Too much competitionAndrew focused on offering service-based health and wellness, and it worked for just a little while. Then the fitness craze hit Australia, and low-cost gyms sprouted everywhere. These gyms weren’t selling service; they were selling hope. While Andrew was charging $49 a month for a subscription, the new gyms would charge $49 a year. The low charge obviously attracted people, and this drove his customers away. A flawed business modelThe biggest mistake Andrew made was not realizing that his business model was flawed. Instead, he continued investing more and more money until he ran out. Lessons learnedTest your market firstTest your market first with a minimum viable product to see if things are going to work out before putting all your money into the product. Have somebody to argue against your propositionLook for someone that you trust and spend time arguing against your idea and pick holes. This will help you see if your idea is viable. Understand how to get in and out of a businessWhen creating your business plan, remember to include an exit plan should the business fail. If you don’t have an exit plan, you don’t have a business; you’ve just bought yourself a job. Andrew’s takeawaysLook at the dynamics of an industry and exit when necessaryBefore you enter a market, look at the dynamics in that industry. Consider how the competition is. Sometimes you can’t swim against the tide, especially when there is a significant change in that industry. It may make sense to exit when this happens.

Amazon started with books and CDs.Facebook and Google started in a dorm room.Airbnb started with air mattresses on a terrible website.UTP started out of the trunk of a car as a side business while waiting tables.So many people want the "get rich quick" life. For every newsworthy business, there are hundreds of young entrepreneurs thinking about giving up. Don't let that be you.Where are you starting?If this is your second or third company, you know already know what it takes to start small and grow. Is this your first business? The only resource you may have is time, energy, and a network of supporters. And that's okay.Somewhere in a business plan or a spreadsheet, you've mapped out what the next three to five years look like, and that's good. I bet it's much bigger than today. Some businesses began with a seed round or patiently saved cash cautiously invested. Whatever your situation is, the company you own today won't be a fraction of its size in the next few years.And we're not just talking cash flow.How to measure the size of your businessWhen you own a business, you invest time, money, and energy to get market share, growth, and profit (among other things.)Time is finite - you only get 24 hours in a day. Where will you spend them?Money burns fast - where are you going to invest it? And, what are you doing with the returns?Energy is everything - the mental burden and physical exhaustion of events, clients, vendors, employees, finances, legal matters, customer service, marketing, strategy... and everything else you put into your business can be taxing if you don't know how to prioritize and execute.

BIO: Ryan Estes is an American Buddhist entrepreneur and the founder of Kitcaster, a podcast booking agency. He is an expert in leveraging podcasts for meaning and profitability. STORY: Ryan and his wife co-run a marketing agency. Ryan’s wife came up with a fantastic product idea that she shared with Ryan. He agreed that it was a great idea; he took it over and executed it the same way he would implement a client’s vision. One problem, though; he never consulted his wife, whom the idea belonged to. Feeling sidelined, Ryan’s wife lost interest in the product causing a rift between the couple. In the end, they had to let go of the project for the sake of their marriage. LEARNING: Honor your relationships even in business. Your business partner is your most valuable asset, cherish and protect them.   “If you have a business partner, somebody that complements you and you have the perfect rhythm, cherish and protect that relationship.” Ryan Estes   Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/estesryan/ (Ryan Estes) is an American Buddhist entrepreneur. As the founder ofhttps://kitcaster.com/ ( Kitcaster), a podcast booking agency, he facilitates thousands of extraordinary conversations. Ryan is an expert in leveraging podcasts for meaning and profitability. Kitcaster serves more than 150 agency clients and is gearing up for its first software product in 2021. Worst investment everOver the past 10 years, Ryan has been the owner-operator of Talklaunch, a media marketing agency he runs with his wife. The agency does social media content, paid media, organic search, website creation, and more. Taking over his wife’s fantastic product ideaRyan’s wife had this great idea for a skincare company, specifically, a natural deodorant company, and she was excited about it. She came up with this fantastic formula that worked well. Ryan took over this entire idea and put it through the wringer the same way he would do with a client. He rebranded the idea, built the website, put everything together, and launched the company, all without consulting his wife. Wife loses interestEven though the company was having middling successes and Ryan was planning to expand a line, his wife continually became less interested in the business. Ryan couldn’t figure out why she was not engaged in this company, yet it was building traction. Unbeknownst to Ryan, his wife had hoped that this idea would become a collaborative project for the both of them. Something that you would work on together and bond as a couple. However, Ryan never bothered to find out what were his wife’s expectations from the business. So when he took it over and alienated her, she lost all the interest she had. Choosing to save his marriageThe business was starting to cause a rift between Ryan and his wife. Once Ryan realized his mistake, he apologized to his wife, and together they decided to let go of the project and focus on something else for the sake of their marriage. Lessons learnedDraw a line between business and your marriageWhen you go into business with your partner, be sure to draw a line between your marriage and your business. Articulate in a conversation all the ways your business relationship could go wrong. Evaluate how your business relationship can affect your marriage and find ways to protect that relationship because no amount of money is worth ruining your relationship. Always remember that your spouse is your most valuable assetThere are so many parallels between a marriage and a business relationship, and therefore, differences will arise, and ideas will differ. But, the value of somebody who understands you and is vital to you from a business side is more important than any revenue outcome. If you have a business partner who complements you, cherish and protect them. Andrew’s takeawaysHonor your relationships even in businessWhen it comes to doing business, honor your partner’s ideas and thoughts. Do not drag your relationship through...

Whenhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-west-marketer/ ( Jordan West) was 23, he decided to buy a Taco Del Mar restaurant. He knew he had made a huge mistake at 2 pm the first day when only three customers had walked in (and two of them were his parents). For five years, he worked hard to grow sales every way he could think of and, in the end, tripled his revenue, which still didn’t seem to matter on the profit side. (He lost a lot of money). The one thing that he seemed to be the best at in his restaurant endeavor was marketing and getting people in the door. Fast forward to 2014, when his wonderful wife, Carmen, started a modest baby clothing line and was selling at craft markets. He asked Carmen if he could test running a few ads on Facebook, and the rest is history. He learned every up-and-coming strategy and tactic and helped grow her small start-up into a multi-million-dollar company. And it’s still growing to this day! Over the years, he realized what he is good at and what he is not good at. What he’s good at is marketing and helping others scale their businesses, which leads us to now. In 2019 Jordan started the podcast “https://mindfulmarketing.co/secrets-to-scaling (Secrets to Scaling Your e-commerce Brand),” which is now in the top 50 business/marketing podcasts in multiple countries, including Canada and the United States.   “That business idea you have will cost twice as much, and it is going to take four times as much time as you think.” Jordan West   Worst investment everIn 2010, Jordan started thinking about going into business. His family was in the milling business, and he wanted to join in, but his family wouldn’t let him. And because he did not want to go to business school, Jordan thought what better thing to do than to purchase some kind of business and learn on the go. Buying a restaurant off CraigslistIn his pursuit to own a business, Jordan looked on Craigslist and found a Taco Del Mar restaurant. This was a Mexican chain restaurant that had had a lot of success in the past but was currently on a bit of a downward trajectory. But the restaurant itself was selling for about USD 25,000. Jordan figured he could afford to lose $25,000 should the business fail. What he did not factor in was all the money he was going to put in to run the restaurant, plus all the time he would have to spend running it. Getting into the real business of owning a restaurantRunning the restaurant was not as easy as Jordan had thought it would be. The biggest problem he faced was getting the restaurant to start making a profit. Year after year, the restaurant kept making losses. Jordan had it so rough that he had to work 60 hours as a paramedic just to try to afford the payroll. Time to call it quitsJordan kept pushing, trying to turn around the restaurant. But when one day he gave his landlord a check of $56,000, and it bounced, Jordan figured it was time to rethink his business venture. He just could not continue living in so much debt because, at this point, he had borrowed so much to keep the restaurant afloat. About six months before the end of the lease, Jordan went to the franchise headquarters and asked them to find someone to buy the restaurant. They found a buyer who could tell right off the bat that Jordan was desperate to sell. He ended up selling it for $25,000. At the end of it all, Jordan had lost $150,000 and five years of his life. This was indeed his worst investment ever.

Before becoming a marketing entrepreneur,https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-muller/ ( Andrew Muller) worked for Microsoft in their pay per click (PPC) division. His company (https://andrewmullercreative.com/home/ (Andrew Muller Creative)) now specializes in a new type of hyper-agile market testing called The Market Testing Incubator, where he’s able to test hundreds of ideas in a month (his average market test costs $2.63, which is about 50x cheaper than the industry standard) intending to lower lead costs. He helps clients who are spending thousands on media buying a month but aren’t getting the return on investment (ROI) they need.   “An ounce of prevention is like a pound of cure. Test your ideas to understand what the market wants.” Andrew Muller   Worst investment everAndrew was 16 years old and about to graduate high school when he decided to find work to pay his bills after graduating. However, Andrew did not want to be employed but rather preferred working for himself. Getting started with Google AdSenseAndrew discoveredhttps://www.google.com/adsense/start/ ( Google AdSense), and he immediately built a content website and filled it with content. He loved the business idea, and he believed it would be his retirement plan. Skipping the market research partAndrew did not do much research, and anytime he ran into market research that went against what he wanted to do, he would ignore it and do what he wanted to do instead. This ignorance led Andrew into choosing a niche that was difficult to make money in: music. It was very difficult to monetize his website. Doing it anywayEven though Andrew could see that his Google AdSense idea was failing, he kept at it. First, he did it for six months. He even created a course on how to use music production software. That did not work too. But Andrew kept at it until he was 23 years old. Finally putting his ego asideAndrew’s business idea was doomed from the start. He had spent almost seven years investing all his skills into this thing that never worked. Andrew could still not pay his bills from his business, and so he was on Employment Insurance. At one point, he was so broke he had nothing to eat. At this point, Andrew decided it was time to put aside his ego and accept that his idea was a big fail. So he gave up on that dream. Getting a jobAndrew found a job at an agency. Luckily, finding a job was not too hard for him because he had acquired lots of skills while running his business. Andrew had done everything inhttps://myworstinvestmentever.com/ep28-brandon-gaille-do-your-research-before-spending-a-dime/ ( internet marketing), including email marketing, writing a 500 article website, paid ads, marketing strategy, automation, and more. Lessons learnedTake feedback, put your ego aside and pivot your businessWhen you get feedback about something that is not working, put your ego aside, and make the changes you need. This will prevent you from continuing on the path that is not working. Market research is fundamental; do not skip itMany business owners find market research very dull, and so they skip it. Then they spend a year or more running a failing, instead of spending just one day of market research that will guide them on how to pivot their businesses. Marketing and sales are two completely different business functionsMarketing is not sales, and neither is sales marketing. Marketing is bringing someone to the door, and the salesperson takes them across the finish line. Not understanding the difference between the two critical functions can lead to tension between marketing people and salespeople. Such tension reduces the quality of your leads, which ultimately affects your bottom line. Andrew’s takeawaysSave your time and money by testing your ideas firstTest your ideas so that you do not waste your time pursuing unprofitable ideas. If you test your ideas and realize that they will not work, do not hesitate to change them. Put people’s advice into

If you’ve never experienced floating before, or have no idea what that is, or you are a regular to a float spa, this episode is one you don’t want to miss. I recently went down to Baltimore for the weekend and experienced the Red Lotus Float Spa for myself, meeting Marie Bittinger, the co-owner. We had chatted after my float and I later invited her to share her story here in this interview. Marie started manifesting Red Lotus Float Spa in January of 2018 and has been running the operations with the help of her husband and three part-time employees since opening in November of 2019. Her mission is to create a safe atmosphere that nurtures mindful reflection, curiosity, playfulness, and healing.Floating is a form of sensory deprivation. And, while that may sound scary on the surface, the reduction of our external senses, allows the mind and body to focus on itself, creating what some describe to be a “euphoric” experience or sensory enhancement. Flotation Therapy provides an array of benefits depending on your wellness goals. Whether you are looking to detox, recover or meditate, floating can be an important component in balancing your health. Links to articles and videos about benefits of floating: CBS This Morning - How sensory deprivation and floating impacts the brainBBC News - Clinical Floatation In this interview we discuss: What floating is, how it works, and the benefits it brings How Marie took this idea from conception to reality The importance of knowing your “Why” for businessWhen to launch a new business and what’s involved before “opening” Opening a business right before COVID-19Business and personal mindset for being an entrepreneur Learn More about Marie on her website.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/arigunz/ (Ari Gunzburg) is a rising new star in personal growth after experiencing trauma as a child and then extreme volatility as a teenager. As an award-winning international speaker, Ari motivates people using personal stories filled with triumph, tragedy, and transformation. Ari also helps inspire people using one-on-one coaching and his books for both children and adults. New in 2020 is his debut non-fiction title,https://www.amazon.com/Little%20-%20Book%20-%20Greatness%20-%20Parable%20-%20Unlocking/dp/B08GVJ6KQ9 ( The Little Book of Greatness).   “If something truly isn’t working, the sooner you realize it, the better off you are.” Ari Gunzburg   Worst investment everAri used to deliver a book called The Advertiser while growing, a small book full of advertisements from the community businesses and delivered to every home in Baltimore. Starting his own book of advertisementsAs a young man, Ari had a dream to start a similar book, and the opportunity came when he moved to Cleveland. He reached out to the people running it originally and made an offer, and they accepted. Ari started working on the book, and he put everything into it. He went knocking on business owners’ doors, trying to sell them to the idea of advertising in the book. In Baltimore, all the business owners believed that they needed to be in the book because that’s where people look to find out what is going on. In Cleveland, though, things were different, and the business owners needed some convincing. A poor startThe book’s uptake was not encouraging, but Ari persisted and kept trying everything he could to make it work. Things didn’t get better; in fact, they got worse. Simultaneously, a website that many people in Cleveland went to for information and news was also running an advertising section and charging low advertising prices. The website was giving Ari real competition. Doing the math and cutting his lossesAfter three years of giving this book his best and still barely making any money, Ari started thinking about closing it down, but he didn’t have the courage to do it. One day, Ari spoke with a business coach who asked him to consider a scenario in which his book suddenly became wildly successful, and every single business in town started advertising with him. What’s the maximum amount of dollars that he could make? Ari ran the numbers quickly in his head and realized that that number was about half a million a year before taking out expenses. This number made Ari realize that it was time to close shop. It was just not enough to keep him afloat. Lessons learnedPersistence is not about persevering in every situation at all costsPersistence is about recognizing when you should stick it out and when you should throw in the towel. Being persistent with things that you don’t want to be doing, or that are not working for you, or an investment that’s just losing money is pointless. Be aware of the advice you’re getting and where it’s coming fromIt is good to have sounding boards that can help you process your advice and decide if it is in line with where you truly see yourself going. Always feel free to say no to advice if it does not suit you. Andrew’s takeawaysUnderstand the actual market size and potentialAs you are researching your business, make sure you calculate your actual market size and income potential. This will guide you on whether you should invest your money and time in that business. Advice is good, but you must process itIt is good to receive all advice, but you must process that advice and identify what part of it is right for you and which one is not. Welcome advice, but accept that not all of it will come from a place of genuine understanding. Consider external factors that might affect your businessWhen starting a business, you must consider external factors that might affect your business. External factors can easily crush your business if you are not aware of them...

Things do not have to run at top speed to indicate that you’re on the right path.” Beverley Agbakoba-Onyejianya   Worst investment everIn 2015 Beverley and her good friend were talking about doing something to better their lives. They explored different things, and her friend suggested that they get into the peanut butter packaging business. Beverley did some research and realized that there was such a massive market for peanut butter in the US, and so she paid the suggestion more attention. Jumping right into itThe two friends jumped right into business. They did a bit of research, came up with a name and branding. They were reeling to go. The friend even suggested that they not only do peanut butter but cashew nut butter too. They went all out with different flavors. They received an incredible reception when the butter went on sale. The clashing of two personalitiesThe butter was selling in their hundreds, and everything was going great except for the two business partners’ personalities. Beverley is brash and rash, while her friend is very detailed and a risk manager. And so the two kept clashing whenever they would have different business ideas. Beverley, especially wouldn’t take feedback well. Things turn uglyBeverley wanted things done in a rush, while her friend would instead take things slow. Beverley was also very emotionally driven and would often react irrationally during disagreements. Things got so bad that one morning Beverley woke up and changed all the factory locks locking her friend out. This was the last straw that brought the butter business to its premature end. Lessons learnedSolve problems rationallyYou don’t have to react immediately every time you are confronted with a problem or a misunderstanding. You don’t need to act on whatever comes to your mind first because sometimes the first thing you think of doing could put you in jail. Develop emotional intelligencePeople who have highhttps://myworstinvestmentever.com/ep241-christopher-d-connors-we-can-develop-our-emotional-intelligence-through-adversity/ ( emotional intelligence) tend to be better leaders, teammates, and colleagues. You can have the best skills, you can be the best, but what is the point if your emotional intelligence is so low? Draw the line between emotions and businessIt is unnatural to expect your business partner to agree with everything you say and vice versa. You will often disagree, but it doesn’t mean that you should take it personally. Meet people halfwayEverybody has their reference point, so meet them where they are and find ways to complement each other. Everyone has something unique to offerEverybody has different skill sets that add value to your business. If you keep measuring other people by your standards, you’ll never be satisfied. Andrew’s takeawaysThe ugly side of businessWhen books talk about building a successful business, they never talk about the ugly side of the hustle. It takes blood and sweat to build a business. Most books won’t tell you this. Slow and steady wins the raceDon’t be in a rush...

As the great Van Wilder once said, "Life is all about building relationships."When it comes to your business, the relationships you foster can make or break you. You often hear people say, "I've got a guy for that." If this is true, it's because that person took time to establish a strong relationship and loyalty with "the guy." When you have a solid rapport with a vendor, contractor, supplier, salesperson, etc., you know you can depend on them to help you out whenever you need it. And vice versa.In Episode 12 of The Business Equation Podcast, host Nick Bogacz taps into the world of building sound, quality relationships within your business - the types of relationships that can literally make or break your success. Nick shares some experiences he's had with various people in his years of business ownership. Some didn't work out...while others ended up being mutually beneficial relationships that Nick leverages each and every day to help his business operate smoothly.Over the course of this episode, you're going to learn:How do you pick your "team?"Is getting the cheapest person the best way to get the job done?Why honesty is a key attribute to those you choose to work withWhy surrounding yourself with the right people helps you focus on the most important aspects of your businessWhen does it make sense to bring the right professionals onto your staff?How good it feels to fire a vendor that doesn't have your best interests in mindNick is also a published author!

Onboarding is a hot topic and one many team leaders struggle with. However, the real issue is that we overcomplicate the process. What are some of the biggest onboarding mistakes we are making on our teams? How do we train for both sales and admin, and how can we make the transition into our teams as smooth as possible? What values and mindsets should we be instilling in the first few weeks? On this episode, Club Wealth Tier 3 coach and Tier 4 coaching client Donnie Morrow, shares how we can implement a world class onboarding process for our teams.  When it comes to onboarding, people get too wrapped up in the training aspect, but the biggest thing is implementation. Take action and you can fix some of the stuff along the way. -Donnie Morrow   Three Things We Learned From This Episode We can balance both new and seasoned agents in our team for the benefit of the businessWhen thinking long-term, we’re more productive with new agents. However, if we want short-term productivity, we should go for experienced agents. There is a space for both in our businesses. With experienced agents, we’ll have to train out the bad habits and egos. With new agents, we have to train them in how to start making money.  Leverage your in-person trainingOur training doesn’t have to be one-on-one, it can be one-to-many. There’s a synergy that happens when we hire one-to-many that we don’t get one-to-one.   The onboarding process shouldn’t be a balance between fun and educationEven though onboarding is an important and critical process in our business, it should also be fun. We want our agents to feel excited about joining our team. We want to make them feel like rockstars! The entire onboarding process becomes much more engaging for our agents when they are enjoying themselves.   The goal with onboarding our agents is to bring them into our world. We should do this in a fun and simple way that makes them feel like a part of something great. We need to have a simple system in place that we can follow consistently every single time because ultimately, we want people to engage with the training. That’s what will give them success on our teams and in the industry.   Guest Bio Donnie is the team leader at the Morrow Group and a Club Wealth coach and client.

IT 050 Podcast Information: Listen in iTunes HereListen Here Without iTunesShare Your Contradiction in my Facebook group for Intuitive Coaches here Transcript available belowWelcome gorgeous and radiant woman, it’s Mona Lisa Ondevilla and it’s Intuitive Tuesday, the radio show helping intuitives, introverts and empaths manifest the conscious and abundant life and business that they desire.Today, I want to point out the HUGE contradictions that exist in the personal development/self-help space that used to make me feel terrible about myself, which made me doubt my capability to be a good coach and entrepreneur.My goal in doing this is to help you see that there’s no right way to do things in life and business, so that you can feel empowered to figure out YOUR OWN unique way of being in the world, and to help you release the shame that can come with doing/thinking things that are non-PC.For example…Today, I have a low threshold for gossip, complaining, victim mentality.I’ll give you an example. Yesterday, I was standing in line at Costco waiting to try an acai smoothie, and a woman walks up and loudly starts commiserating with the sample lady about something that I don’t remember the context of, but the energy was “complain, complain, complain, yeah life is miserable, don’t we all know it, that’s just how it is, low-vibe, low-energy, blah blah…”So, I wandered away to the frozen fruits section and left Michaelangelo – who thankfully can just ignore people – to grab me a smoothie.This illustrates the first HUGE contradiction I want to point out..."Have proper boundaries in place, but love and accept everyone."That last part used to realllly get me.I used to JUDGE MYSELF SO HARSHLY if I didn’t glue myself to the floor whenever low-energy people came around. I would stick it out and shame myself for having judgemental thoughts like– “seriously, your lame-ass martyr story is super boring and isn’t fooling anyone. You’re zero percent committed to taking responsibility for your circumstances, aren’t willing to change anything, love complaining, and wtf are you even wearing, it’s fugly and ruining my high-vibes of being surrounded by beauty. Get me out of here! Wait, MONA LISA, be nice… ”If I broke this down to the archetypes that I know I have within me, it would be The Mean Girl Vs. The Doormat/Little Miss PerfectToday, I don’t even have this internal war happen because the second I sense complaining/boring ass vibes, I am OUT.But it took me awhile to get there because… love and accept everyone, right?The truth is, you can love and accept everyone and not want to be anywhere near them. We all have our soul’s journey, and I honor that – and now, I also honor my feeling of not wanting to be in the same room as you. Spiritual, right, wrong? I don’t know – but it feels GOOD to me.Ultimately, you have to do you and what feels good for you (and what feels good for me might not necessarily be what feels good for you!!).More contradictions …Hustle and do EVERYTHING HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO SUCCEED INCLUDING WORKING NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS, but practice self care and wellnessGet crystal clear on what you want to manifest, but detach from the outcomeDream big, but be happy, grateful and content with what you have todayBe YOURSELF, but follow my step-by-step solution to succeed in X (life/business/health/wealth)And I point these out not because I’m making fun of them, in fact, I’ve SAID almost everything of the above myself!!At different points in your life, all of the above could be true for you.It gets confusing when we think we’re supposed to be a certain way all the time, and we become vigilant and all-or-nothing about that way of being. We practice so much self-care that we take ZERO action in our business, or we take completely dis-aligned action because we’ve neglected our self-care. Or we’re super kind and accommodating to everyone, including energy vampires, then go home and immediately numb out with Netflix.The ONLY way out is to tune into your intuition so powerfully, so fiercely, and on a regular basis that you can navigate what’s true for you in any self-help rule (and take what applies to you).All of the information out there WILL contradict itself, and if you spend your time trying to collect and make sense of everything, your job will never end."Your job as a feminine, smart, and intuitive woman is to find out what’s true for you in that MOMENT and in that situation."Your job as a feminine, smart, and intuitive woman is to find out what’s true for you in that MOMENT and in that situation (because it can change next week, next month, or next year, then change again, and that’s OK).Now, I want to leave you with 3 questions to ask yourself so that you can digest and implement the information I shared today.Write down or think about your answer to the following 3 questions:What is ONE area in my life or business where I play out an internal tug-of-war based on a contradiction of 2 values I believe in?What beliefs do I have that subconsciously allow this cycle to keep on going?What new belief will guide me to re-write this association in a way that feels GOOD?I’ll give you an example.Be nice to others and love and accept everyone vs. Set proper boundariesSetting boundaries makes me a bitch. Setting boundaries means I don’t love and accept others.New belief: Setting boundaries allows me to show up fully, energetically, and in LOVE in my marriage, friendships and businessWhen you have that new belief, REFER TO IT OFTEN, especially when you are in situations that trigger this contradiction within you.Now, I would love to HEAR YOUR TOP CONTRADICTION IN MY FACEBOOK GROUP at facebook.com/groups/intuitivecoaches. Your shared contradiction and journey can DRASTICALLY change the perspective of another woman in the group, so get out that and share share share!ALRIGHT LADIES, I hope that this has served you and I’ll see you next time on the next episode of Intuitive Tuesday!!
