This week on CEO School, Suneera shares her fireside conversation with Marianne Boules, founder and CEO of Boules Consulting, a full-service consulting agency serving nonprofit organizations, social enterprises, and government contractors all over the United States. Marianne explains the significance of government contracts and grants for women-owned businesses. She highlights the opportunities and advantages of obtaining certifications as a woman-owned business, minority-owned business, or small business. The conversation encourages women to pursue government contracts and leverage certifications to stand out in business. Before Boules Consulting, Marianne was a public servant with local nonprofit organizations. During her tenure, she noticed that smaller nonprofits did excellent work integral to the community's well-being and could benefit from an extra set of hands. However, these nonprofits operated on razor-thin budgets and needed more staffing. Marianne is Nonprofit Management Certified (NPM) and Grant Writing Certified (GWC) and holds her Master's in Public Policy from the University of California, Riverside.

Are you on this entrepreneurial journey with someone else?Business owners often ask whether or not I can help them with their specific type of business. Perhaps they're a business selling a product instead of a service, or they're in a very unique niche. And while most of the small businesses I work with are solopreneurs, sometimes I see two people who've come together as business partners.Co-CEOs need support, strategies, and systems specifically designed to help them too, because a partnership can open up new communication and work challenges. That's why today I've invited Carmen Reed-Gilkison and Deirdre Harter, the co-CEOs of Encore Empire, to share their perspective on how two people can efficiently work together.In this episode of the Promote Yourself to CEO podcast, you'll hear how they've streamlined and upleveled how they communicate in their business. They'll discuss how they ensure they're not stepping on the other's toes or accidentally re-doing the other's work... and avoid overworking themselves in the process. On this episode of Promote Yourself to CEO:6:06 - Where did the idea come from to form a business partnership and launch Encore Empire? Deirdre and Carmen discuss how they came together.10:07 - Deirdre and Carmen love working with midlife women looking to launch something new.

What do you think you need to gain in order for your business to change and grow? Too often entrepreneurs get hyped up to chase vanity metrics like huge numbers of Instagram followers or email subscribers. Ultimately though, gaining five or 10 new clients is all you need to have a massive impact on your business.The simplest, easiest way for getting those clients isn't something sexy or glamorous. It involves using a real strategy to invite people in, actually connect with them, and let them know how you can help. Continuing on with this series to avoid hustle and burnout, today I talk about the second strategy you need to adopt to grow a truly sustainable business.On this episode of Promote Yourself to CEO:3:27 - I rant (again) about an issue in the business world that sets so many people up for failure.5:18 - What is a predictable profit plan? It's key to how I help entrepreneurs break out of the feast or famine cycle, so I walk you through how to put one together.10:00 - I reveal the most important but least discussed part of a profit plan. If you don't have this, it'll break your business.10:45 - People get so focused on marketing and sales that they forget about this piece of the puzzle and end up with a lot of unhappy clients.15:00 - What will be your strategies for marketing, sales, and delivery? I use The CEO Collective as an example.17:13 - Consider this if you have no idea when you should promote your signature offer. I give more examples from my business.20:14 - Full upfront payment is awesome! But you'll love extending payment plans to clients for this incredibly powerful reason.25:04 - How can you ensure that you don't experience a revenue gap?Mentioned in Your Profit Road Map for More Sustainable SalesThe CEO RetreatThe CEO CollectiveRacheal on Instagram and TikTokRate and review on Apple Podcasts

Can you afford to take 30 days away from your business? What would happen if you can't but took the time anyway?Sometimes, things come up. Personal or family illness, the impending birth of a new baby, or just needing a break can spark the need for taking some extended time off.But for a lot of small business owners, taking that time would essentially shut the business down. You'd stop marketing, working with clients, and making sales... unless you have systems in place that keep your business running when you slow down.This past April, I had to step away from my business because of a flare-up of my chronic illness that caused me extreme pain and kept me up at night.

By growing through some of the systems I use in my 5-part framework, I'll teach you how you can keep on serving your clients and generating revenue while you're away.On this episode of Promote Yourself to CEO:5:09 - I talk about the biggest changes I've made for more flexibility in the “delight” stage of my framework.9:18 - What do these changes look like functionally inside of The CEO Collective?18:20 - How do I make sure sales keep coming in even if I have to step away from my business?25:08 - If you think you need to be active in the nurture marketing stage all the time, systems are your friend here.

What if you could start each year knowing that you have the majority of the revenue you need locked in?Many entrepreneurs have noticed a recent slowdown in their businesses due to consumer anxiety surrounding the economy.

Imagine spending a half hour (or longer) on a sales call with someone. And as you wrap it up, you're hoping they'll say yes to your product, program, or service.But instead, they tell you they're not ready. Or they can't afford it. Or the timing is off, and can they get back to you?This is one of the most frustrating things about sales and the reason why so many entrepreneurs dread getting on a call with a new potential client. If this is something that you're experiencing right now, then you need a strategy that allows you to turn more potential clients into actual clients.Creating a well-crafted pre-client education process will do the trick. Not only does it improve your overall conversion rate, but it also makes sales so much easier!In this episode of the Promote Yourself to CEO podcast, you'll learn how to implement this pre-sale education process for potential clients in your business.

The rumors are true - the world of entrepreneurship and small business is rapidly changing. And what may have worked in 2016 or even 2020 is no longer as effective. Join the mentors of The CEO Collective for this discussion about what we are currently seeing in the world of small business, including:The 'popular' tactics are constantly changing, but we see entrepreneurs getting exhausted trying to constantly keep up. That's why we focus on proven best practices for small businesses!How perfectionism rears it's ugly head especially during more stressful times when we start to doubt ourselves and our core business strategy.Why the mentality of 'set it and forget it' does not work long term when those tactics stop working. Passive income, funnels, and automate everything leaves out the HUMANITY of business.Business grows at the speed of relationships - we all believe that building those relationships are key to the long term success for small businesses.Remember that business is cyclical and trends come and go - there's always an opportunity to ride the wave in popularity but what do small businesses do when those stop working?Why the 'overnight success' myth is really distracting small business owners from the time it really takes to build a successful business.Why we dive deep into nuance and context when considering what will or won't work for small business ownersWant to learn more and apply to the next cohort of The CEO Collective?

We've just seen a golden age for people wanting to start their own small business. The 10 to 15 year period from the 2008 recession to COVID-19 was a bull market that saw improved and more affordable technology available for small business owners. As a result, small businesses exploded into existence, particularly for women entrepreneurs.But the economy is cyclical, and there comes a time when the bull market slows down. In the last few years, we've seen that lots of businesses had to adapt or get shut down during the pandemic lockdowns. We're watching inflation cause expenses to skyrocket. And your customers and clients are feeling the impact.The economy is uncertain right now, and perhaps your sales are slowing down as a result.

What does it mean to be CEO of your business anyway? When you start your business, you're the marketing team, the sales team, the customer service team, the tech support, all of it. But over time, as your business grows and gets more established, you want to take some of this workload off your plate. Traditional CEOs have the people and teams in place to help them so they can focus on higher-value tasks and take their business to the next level. But how do you, as the CEO of a smaller business, build an environment that'll sustainably do the same for you? How do you transition from the role of entrepreneur to the role of CEO? It all starts with getting clear on five elements that'll help you figure out your role as CEO. In this episode of the Promote Yourself to CEO podcast, you'll learn about those elements that make up the job description of a traditional CEO and how to translate that for your small business. I'll teach you the process to help you define your specific CEO role and reveal questions to help you determine your biggest value to your company. On this episode of Promote Yourself to CEO: 4:44 - Transitioning from solopreneur to CEO can be a challenge (and one I've faced multiple times). I explain why. 6:12 - What was Sara Blakely's journey from solopreneur to CEO like? Here's her story. 11:02 - What is the job description of a CEO? I share a process to help you define your role as CEO of your business. 18:58 - I talk about how we live one of my company's key values (“life comes before business”). 22:42 - Creating a strategic plan is part of your traditional CEO role. What does that look like for entrepreneurs running smaller companies? 26:07 - How do you lead your team as CEO of a small business? I use The CEO Collective as an example. 30:47 - The final piece that defines traditional CEOs is one of the hardest things about running your own company. (And you can't crowdsource it, either). 35:44 - I quickly recap the five key elements of a traditional CEO role and how it impacts you as an entrepreneurial business owner. 37:43 - Ask yourself these questions to clarify what you need to be responsible for as a small business owner in your company. 45:57 - What do my essential CEO tasks of content, clients, and connections mean in my business? I share how I apply these to give you some clarity and insight.

I'm so excited to have Racheal Cook, business growth strategist and founder of the CEO collective, as a guest expert to talk all things TikTok. Why? Well, she isn't a TikTok strategist. She doesn't offer any social media services in her business, and even better—she hasn't even been using it for a full year in her business. Her value in this series is that she is a small business owner—just like you and me—who decided to experiment with TikTok in her marketing. And the results were incredible. When Racheal noticed that TikTok was beginning to gain more popular attention and other demographics besides young GenZers were using it, she knew she needed to ride the wave and utilize TikTok as part of her marketing efforts. But part of Racheal's experiment on the platform was learning how to become a content creator on TikTok in a way that aligned with her values, goals, and felt good for her business. Just as you'll need to figure out what works best for you. I won't give away all her secrets in this introduction, but let's just say that Rachel approaches TikTok differently than many people. She doesn't perform. In fact, her current approach to creating content on TikTok revolves around batched and prerecorded videos. So, if you're curious about how to become a content creator on TikTok, her approach is one option that may work for you, too. ______________________________________ Read the show notes and view the full transcript here: https://erinollila.com/how-to-become-a-content-creator-on-tiktok ______________________________________ Learn about our guest expert, Racheal Cook As an award-winning business strategist, host of the Promote Yourself to CEO podcast, and founder of The CEO Collective, Racheal Cook is on a mission to end entrepreneurial poverty of time, energy, and money for women business owners.

When you hear of businesses blowing up overnight, you get the glamorized version. You see the celebrity entrepreneurs online living the high life. They're taking luxury vacations, driving fancy cars, and talking about how their business makes six, seven, eight (or more) figures. But here's what they're not telling you. Their business isn't sustainable because things are constantly breaking behind the scenes. They feel stressed out due to all the fires they have to constantly put out. So how about we take a different approach? In this next segment of the “Truth About Scaling” series, I talk about the three mistakes I often see entrepreneurs make that cause problems when it comes to scaling your business. On this episode of Promote Yourself to CEO: 4:29 - How do you know if you're making this first mistake? Here are the warning signs. 11:52 - I reveal how I've fallen into the trap of mistake #1 myself and how you can avoid doing the same. 14:54 - Hiring is another area in your business where you may be making this same mistake. 21:28 - This third area where people make the first mistake is a big pet peeve of mine (and another one I've done myself). 25:10 - How did I reverse track on making this mistake when I shifted my approach to The CEO Collective? 32:25 - Too many startup entrepreneurs don't realize this about cash flow in their business. 35:44 - I discuss mistake #2 and the problem that it won't fix for you. 41:42 - Where do you really need to get honest about your business? Here are the three markets that you need to be testing. 45:58 - The third mistake and why doing the opposite will save your scaling business. 52:30 - Too much humanity has gone out of business, so I reveal what I'm doing to help bring it back. 58:26 - To end the show, I quickly recap the three mistakes.

As a service-based business, coach or course creator, there is a certain appeal to scaling your impact, especially if that means you'll exponentially grow your income. Scaling into 7 and even 8 figures also means you've got to turn your attention to common cash eating monsters before they erode your profits. Increased sales requires a need to deliver your offerings to more people. Explosive growth comes with operational headaches. Often, big growth is a double-edged sword, and it can become a deterrent if you don't have the right systems in place.

Angie Trueblood came to me years ago when she wanted to go all in on her idea. She'd learned how to pitch herself to podcasts as an interview guest and had the idea to do the same for other entrepreneurs. As someone in the podcast space who was in the target market for her services, she was the first person I saw talking about something like this in 2019. So, of course, I had to have her on the show (and immediately hire her after)! Now, Angie's back to give an update on what's happening in her business now and how it's changed since she's become part of The CEO Collective. In this episode, she talks about the service side of her business and why she's making the choice to do the opposite of what so many other service-based entrepreneurs are doing. On this episode of Promote Yourself to CEO: 6:20 - What was business like for Angie in the summer of 2019 (before life as we knew it shifted drastically)? 12:02 - Angie reveals how the rinse and repeat process of the 90-Day planner impacted her business that year. 14:49 - Angie talks about what it's like for her to have both group programming and a service up for offer in her business. 19:48 - Resistant to growing an agency for so long, Angie is leaning towards the service side of her business more. Why? 25:54 - People worry that growing a service-based business means more time and energy spent in the business. How does Angie find balance? 28:51 - Here's something you need to know as a service provider looking to create and launch a course or membership. 33:42 - What excites Angie the most in this next stage of her business?

You make yourself available to your clients constantly. They can email or text or call you 24/7, and you make it a priority to respond to them as soon as possible. And you might even be making great money in the process! From the client's perspective, this sounds great. But while the constant availability works for them, it means your business isn't really working for you. Today, I talk with CEO Collective member Dr. Libby Wilson whose functional medicine practice looked great on the surface with successful clients and cash flow. But she had to make shifts so that she could truly have freedom in her business to enjoy life. In this episode, she talks about how she turned things around over the last year to ensure that her practice not only works for her clients but also for herself and her family. On this episode of Promote Yourself to CEO: 3:25 - Who is Dr. Libby Wilson, how does she help her clients, and where was she struggling in her business before joining the CEO Collective? 7:55 - Hustle culture created this health issue for Dr. Libby. She had to fix the root cause and talks about how the 90-Day Planner helped. 13:07 - Content creation is a major sticking point for a lot of entrepreneurs. Dr. Libby has a 12-month rinse-and-repeat content calendar, so how does she do it? 16:29 - Dr. Libby reveals something she does for her practice and that every entrepreneur needs to apply in their business. We discuss what it is and why it's so important. 22:34 - Watching how my business runs behind-the-scenes helped Dr. Libby get away from making herself constantly available to clients. What changes did she make in her practice as a result? 30:04 - Dr. Libby discusses how making the adjustments to her business has improved her life and her mindset. 36:30 - To wrap the show, Dr. Libby reveals what she'd say to anyone thinking of joining The CEO Collective. She also briefly discusses her new book and how she works with clients. Mentioned in Is Your Business Really Working for You?

It is often said that what we are naturally good at, should be what we are monetizing. And when we are naturally good at it, we already have 90% of what we need in order to get started and it's just a matter of implementation. Sometimes however, it isn't something that we can easily see in ourselves. It often seems that we need to ask others what they see our strengths as since it sometimes is difficult to see the forest from the trees. To put this into focus, we invited Racheal Cook to the show. Racheal is a business strategist and founder of The CEO Collective. She supports health coaches avoid entrepreneurial poverty by providing sound implementation strategies to get their businesses off the ground.

How Should CEOs Spend Their Time and EnergyRacheal is an excellent example of a successful entrepreneur who has mastered the art of balancing work and personal life through delegation.Racheal experienced emotional and mental exhaustion, even experiencing panic attacks. As a result, taking care of herself became a priority for her in order to think clearly about what to do in her professional and personal lives. She realized she needed to work less in both. As a mother of twins and the daughter of disabled parents, she hired a nanny to help her with child care and even delegated house chores like laundry to people in her community because she wanted to save her energy for the things that mattered the most. Racheal makes time for the people she cares about without sacrificing her business.As a CEO, and as a member of the company, she has other things to do as well, so what Racheal does is make sure that she has time to work on the CEO stuff and have her team take on the other responsibilities in the company to work things out, such as booking her to podcast shows, writing newsletters, managing social medias, and more.About Racheal CookRacheal Cook is an award-winning business strategist who believes that running a business shouldn't be complicated.

If you're like my guest today and feel nervous about raising your prices, then listen up because I have a real-life case study for you!

Our bodies are often the wisest parts of who we are, but we regularly over-ride the messages they send us when they tell us when we're at capacity. We push through, over-work, see physical and emotional pain as something to overcome instead of important data to take into account about our needs and how we are living. And even if we do take in these messages clearly and see the need for needed shifts and care, it feels like change is not an option or acceptable. So we push ourselves until we crash. And this is often normalized - sometimes even celebrated - as a part of how we do work and life. And when the body dials up the pain or the anxiety to finally get our attention, the default for many is to become at war with the messenger - seeing our bodies as the enemy instead of the culture of work and health care as the culprit. This is only reinforced by the expectations from work and how everyone else “seems to being doing it all with ease.”My guest today shares her story of working through healing from an unsustainable work schedule where burnout showed up, took her out, and changed her career trajectory. Racheal Cook is an award-winning business strategist who believes entrepreneurship doesn't have to be so complicated. Through her business, The CEO Collective, she helps women entrepreneurs to scale sustainable businesses without the hustle or burnout. When she's not working with women entrepreneurs, you'll find her playing board games with her 3 kids and husband in Richmond VA.Listen to the full episode to hear:The formative experiences from Racheal's childhood that inform how she runs her business todayHow Racheal carves out time and capacity to cultivate strong relationshipsThe support systems and processes Racheal has in place so she can navigate caring for her aging parents and her family without burning outHow acknowledging and honoring the constraints on her time and her capacity helped Racheal build a sustainable businessLearn more about Racheal Cook:The CEO CollectiveInstagram: @racheal.cookLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) - Violence PreventionRYSE Center ACEs Disorder vs. Distress PyramidFind Your Unicorn Space: Reclaim Your Creative Life in a Too-Busy World, Eve RodskyFair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live), Eve RodskyFlorence and the MachineAtlas of the HeartDirty Dancing

We've all heard the conditioned messaging about how to achieve success: Pull yourself up by your bootstraps! No one's going to work as hard or care as much about your business as you. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. If you've been struggling with this mindset and haven't allowed yourself to be fully supported in your business, then this episode should help change your mind. I interview my client Michelle Clayton, who's the founder of WeLetHerFly.com and a member of The CEO Collective. We discuss how she finally stepped into her CEO role by surrounding herself with support and made mindset shifts in her business that allowed her to get out of the feast or famine cycle that traps so many entrepreneurs. On this episode of Promote Yourself to CEO: 5:18 - Your branding can affect your ability to show up in your business the way you want. How? 9:03 - What happened when Michelle decided to increase her pricing? 13:16 - Your pricing communicates certain things about your business, product, or service. 16:02 - Michelle has undergone another big shift in her business while in The CEO Collective. It's something I've often discussed on the show. 20:07 - How has Michelle's role as CEO changed? And what did she do to stay creatively inspired when the well ran dry? 26:46 - I ask Michelle a couple of lightning round questions to wind down the show. 30:08 - Michelle discusses why anyone on the fence about joining The CEO Collective should just go ahead and do it. 36:12 - I recap some key things about how Michelle pulled her business out of the feast or famine cycle.

Imagine you're watching a movie about two solo entrepreneurs: One is so excited about her business but finds herself spinning her wheels. She has an amazing vision for growing her business but goes from one idea to the next because instant success eludes her. The other also loves the idea of growing her business. But instead of constantly changing course while trying everything under the sun, she takes the slow and steady approach and inevitably reaches her goals with the framework and consistency advocated inside The CEO Collective. So in this tale of two entrepreneurs, which one do you want to be? Tune in as I discuss why what you've done over the previous few months has resulted in the business you have now. On this episode of Promote Yourself to CEO: 4:57 - What's the real problem for women entrepreneurs struggling to get clients? I see this so often! 10:58 - My mindset shift during my TikTok experiment thus far demonstrates why giving yourself enough time to try out strategies is so important. 15:44 - Here's another example of how this struggle plays out for a lot of entrepreneurs. 19:36 - Are you a podcaster struggling to pitch yourself to others for interviews? I reveal what I've discovered in my ten years of podcasting. 23:21 - Find out why you'll never have to worry about bothering people with your offers again, as long as you adopt this shift in perspective. 27:50 - Hiring a coach to hold you accountable isn't going to do this for you.

When you need to grow your business, what do you do? Do you lock out the rest of the world and brainstorm new products, programs, or service ideas yourself, like so many entrepreneurs do?

John sits down with business coach Racheal Cook from the CEO Collective to learn about her mission to end entrepreneurial poverty. Join Business Made Human now: https://go.privatepracticeworkshop.com/join-business-made-human Racheal Cook is on a mission to end entrepreneurial poverty of time, energy, and money for women business owners. She's an MBA-trained business growth strategist, founder of The CEO Collective, the host of the Promote Yourself to CEO Podcast, and a best-selling author. Over the last 16 years, she has helped thousands of female entrepreneurs design predictably profitable businesses without the hustle and burnout that doing #allthethings inevitably accomplishes. Racheal is a sought-after speaker on entrepreneurship, marketing, and productivity and has been featured by Forbes, Business Insider, Entrepreneur Magazine, and Washington Post. Her real passion, though, is supporting purpose-driven women as they implement the strategy, systems, and support to uncomplicate their business so not only do work that makes a difference, but live a life they truly love. Fun fact: Racheal also has a degree in music performance and almost became a professional french horn player. She launched her first business during her studies and developed the discipline and consistency that every entrepreneur needs. Racheal's Story When Racheal found herself at the side of Interstate 95 after a full-blown panic attack, she knew she had to leave the corporate grind of working 80-hour weeks as a business consultant. Recovering, crying every day, and spending many hours on her mat at a local yoga studio, her yoga teacher asked her for business advice. She then had a lightbulb moment: many women owner-operated businesses do not have access to a strategist like her, but they should! Then, just 6 months into her new business, Racheal realized that simply leaving her job wasn't going to be enough of a radical shift to end the cycle of burnout she'd been trapped in. She not only discovered she was pregnant with twins, but her doctor put her on bed rest for 4 months! Suddenly, Racheal couldn't muscle or hustle her way to success. She needed to flip the script on what it took to be successful. She herself and her business needed all the strategies, productivity, systems and support to get through this phase. She now dedicates herself to supporting other purpose-driven female entrepreneurs to do the same.

Too many women entrepreneurs work crazy long hours trying to do everything themselves. And just when they feel like they've finally put out one fire, another one flares up soon after. But panic isn't a business strategy, and you didn't become an entrepreneur to stress yourself out. Imagine a 2022 that's different, one without the hustle and burnout. Imagine running your business by design instead of default. When you do, things begin to run like clockwork. So in this episode, I dive into a strategic process for consciously designing a business that works for you instead of you for it. Welcome to day three! On this episode of Promote Yourself to CEO: 3:33 - Why are we doing business design today after lifestyle design yesterday? It reflects one of The CEO Collective values. 5:33 - I discuss the first part of today's exercise: looking at your personal definition of success. 7:46 - What's your professional definition of success? 8:42 - Without getting clear on part two and being more discerning, your business becomes really stressful. 9:43 - Part three shifts you into money mode, but you're not just going to pull a revenue goal out of thin air. Here's a helpful way to crunch the numbers. 12:11 - I talk about what to do after you've come up with your revenue goal and mention a caveat to keep in mind if you have multiple offers. 14:55 - Marketing that works best for others may not be right for you at all.

What do you think you need to gain in order for your business to change and grow? Too often entrepreneurs get hyped up to chase vanity metrics like huge numbers of Instagram followers or email subscribers. Ultimately though, gaining five or 10 new clients is all you need to have a massive impact on your business. The simplest, easiest way for getting those clients isn't something sexy or glamorous. It involves using a real strategy to invite people in, actually connect with them, and let them know how you can help. Continuing on with this series to avoid hustle and burnout, today I talk about the second strategy you need to adopt to grow a truly sustainable business. On this episode of Promote Yourself to CEO: 3:27 - I rant (again) about an issue in the business world that sets so many people up for failure. 5:18 - What is a predictable profit plan? It's key to how I help entrepreneurs break out of the feast or famine cycle, so I walk you through how to put one together. 10:00 - I reveal the most important but least discussed part of a profit plan. If you don't have this, it'll break your business. 10:45 - People get so focused on marketing and sales that they forget about this piece of the puzzle and end up with a lot of unhappy clients. 15:00 - What will be your strategies for marketing, sales, and delivery? I use The CEO Collective as an example. 17:13 - Consider this if you have no idea when you should promote your signature offer. I give more examples from my business. 20:14 - Full upfront payment is awesome! But you'll love extending payment plans to clients for this incredibly powerful reason. 25:04 - How can you ensure that you don't experience a revenue gap?

Today, I’m joined by my friend and colleague Erica Courdae who has been my DEI consultant and is a part of the CEO Collective as a mentor. She’s back on the show to dive into staying true to your core values when your business is growing, changing, or its mettle is being tested. On this episode of Promote Yourself to CEO: 6:23 - Making a commitment to values. It’s not a one-time thing. 9:51 - Where does real empowerment come from? The word gets thrown around often, but it isn’t a gift you can give others. 12:03 - How do the working and business worlds try to blame the victims? 18:05 - Avoiding echo chambers. Who are you intentionally networking with? 25:05 - You need to life proof your business so it can still thrive when things aren’t perfect. 32:05 - Dealing with panic moments by modeling clear and kind boundaries. Panic is not a business strategy. 36:07 - Having a strategy and a process for making decisions. Running your business becomes easier for yourself and your teams. 39:25 - The noise around you is a big distraction. Do you just need to shut it out, scale back, and return to basics? 43:13 - You can only do what you do for your community in the way that you do it. 48:23 - Clarity in your values makes your business growth journey so much easier.

Today we have on our show, a very successful entrepreneur from Israel, Josia Nakash who is working to help people grow consciously by making honest connections amongst people. Josia is the Co-Founder of The CEO Collective and the Founder of Good Vibe Agency. She brings many years worth of experience on The Brand Called You. She talks about conscious leadership and tells us that it is the only way to go forward for brands. In the past few years, people have grown more and more conscious about which brands to buy from, and this demands strong conscious leadership to remain at the top of your game. She tells us that “it's not just about sales anymore” but the connection and vibe between people. A great conscious leader, she tells us how one can invest in collective growth instead of focusing on personal growth. Tune in to listen to her incredible journey! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tbcy/support
Racheal Cook is the Founder and CEO of The CEO Collective, a membership for women entrepreneurs ready to scale their businesses without the hustle and burnout.She is the author of Amazon best-selling books Fired Up & Focused and our Business Sweet Spot, and hosts the podcast Promote Yourself to CEO. A sought after speaker on entrepreneurship, marketing, and productivity, Racheal's work has been featured on US Chamber of Commerce, Forbes, Fast Company, Inc, Female Entrepreneur Association, and more.When she's not helping women entrepreneurs design predictably profitable businesses, you can find her hiking with her three kids, reading anything she can get her hands on, or working on her next book.TAKEAWAYS:Racheal's superpower is uncomplicating things for her clients. Oftentimes we overcomplicate the methods that we use to get to the goal we've set. Racheal is really good at helping her clients simplify their businesses so they can scale with ease. The secret sauce to Racheal's first 6-figure year was to decide that she was going to work with clients in one way, for one set timeframe, and for a price point that allowed her to get paid in a way that she wanted.Racheal's schedule is dictated by her Model Calendar system. Her week starts with a CEO Date with herself where she evaluates the week ahead and what it entails. Racheal's #1 piece of advice when it comes to hiring team members is hire before you're ready. She always advises this because if you hire someone when you are in the weeds, it makes it a lot harder to actually figure out what to have that team member do, because you're being reactive in your business, instead of proactive.RESOURCES:Check out the blog post that goes along with this episode: http://www.allisonhardy.com/blog1/episode191Check out Racheal on her website: https://www.rachealcook.comListen to the Promote Yourself to CEO Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/uncomplicate-your-business/id1030760726?mt=2Get yourself registered for the Sell Everyday [Even When You're Not Working] Masterclass (it's on-demand!) here: https://allison-hardy.ck.page/e22ece86c1CONNECT WITH ME:Join my absolutely FREE Facebook group, The 6-Figure Mompreneur Community: www.facebook.com/groups/themompreneurcommunityFollow me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/allisonhardy2015Follow me on Instagram (I especially LOVE InstaStories!): www.instagram.com/allison_hardy_Find me on Pinterest: www.pinterest.com/allison_hardy_ARE YOU A FAN OF THE PODCAST?If you loved today's episode I'd love for you to head to your favorite podcast app and leave us a rating and a review!
