An idea - whether it's a business, a book, or a brand isn't just an object. It's a living dynamic organism that has come to us, and us alone, for a reason. This beautiful thing chose us to flow through and co-create with us, and that's a vision that needs no one's approval to bloom.   It's a completely different way of doing business, yes, but it is a more sustainable approach.   Resonance is two energy waves coming together - a Source-given match between creator and creation. That's why the most resonant businesses come from within. Our body's wisdom will always tell us what's resonant and what's dissonant. We need to have courage to honor whatever's happening inside our body, regardless of what the external thinks.   It's a powerful practice, not just for being, playing and loving, but also for creating things that never stop regenerating. For Suzy Batiz, this model was a huge aspect behind Poo~Pourri. How did this idea come to her? How did she overcome the need for approval? How do we take this lesson from her and learn to trust our body's wisdom (and actually listen to it)?   In this episode, we're delighted to be joined by Suzy. She shares the journey she's taken, and why resonance should always be an ingredient in our creative process.   Having the courage to honor whatever's happening inside your body regardless of what the external thinks about it. That's the practice. -Suzy Batiz   Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    -The idea has its own desires  When built on resonance, the essence of our creation naturally amplifies out. What's the danger in taking an outside-in approach?   -Warning: logic can be faulty Our brains are powerful creation machines but why is the body more reliable?   -Mind the override  What happens when we ignore the resonant voice inside us in favor of making everyone else comfortable?   Guest Bio    Suzy Batiz is an entrepreneur and the founder of Poo~Pourri. She has been featured by leading publications including Forbes, CNBC, Fast Company and Entrepreneur. She has been named one of Forbes' Richest Self-Made Women in America (2019), EY's Entrepreneur of the Year (2017), Conscious Company's World Changing Women (2019), EarthX's Community Leader of the Year (2019) and is WBENC (Women Owned) certified business owner.

You already know that your brand is so much more than your colors and logo. But have you done the work to ensure that your brand message is based on strategy and messaging? Your brand consists of your design, content, marketing, social media, and more. It all needs to work together with a strategy that incorporates every piece.   This week on the podcast, I'm chatting with Shaunda Head about voice, which is a big part of what you're saying, how you're saying it, and how people find and consume your content.   It can be really difficult to share your own ideas, especially if what you're saying isn't what everyone else is saying. But that's precisely the point. Shaunda talks about unlearning what you might have learned in school or corporate structures and how to speak up even when you might be afraid to so people know who you are and what you're about.

Grab the freebie for this episode by heading here!   There's a lot that goes into hiring a content support contractor – here's where to start If you're at a point in your business where you could use a little extra help creating content, you should 100% consider hiring a contractor.  Not only will it allow you to spend more time in your zone of genius, but you can also bring them on for just a few hours or on an as-needed basis, which isn't an option with a full-time employee.  Over the years, I've relied on skilled content contractors to create content for my audience. Under my (and my team's) direction, they've done everything from writing email copy to producing high-traffic lead magnets, and more! But here's the thing. It takes quite a bit of work and lots of communication to bring on a content support contractor and have it work successfully.  Luckily, I've got it boiled down to a fine science – so I know exactly what I'm looking for, where to find that person, and how to onboard them so the relationship is a win/win for everyone involved.  And that's what I'm diving into in this episode. You'll hear: Why hiring a contractor over a full-time employee can be more beneficial in the beginning The importance of providing lots of support and resources for your contractor The best places to find a content support contractor, and how to vet them How to onboard contractors and offer constructive feedback So if you're thinking about hiring a contractor to help you create content, be sure to tune in – because these strategies will definitely set you in the right direction.  Here's a glance at this episode... [08:28] Set realistic goals and timelines with contractors, because they will have other clients. Be clear on how many hours you will need them.  [11:13] Doing everything yourself will lead to grief and overwhelm. When it's time to scale, you have to believe other people can do it better than you. [15:33] Another person can offer a fresh perspective with your content.  [16:29] We've found some people on Fiverr, Create & Cultivate, Creative Mornings, and LinkedIn, but referrals are my favorite way to find contractors.   [19:23] Ask for samples or a paid project test run. Give them time to ask questions and set a deadline. Assign a task to familiarize them with your content.  [23:05] We have an Asana checklist to make sure we have everything we need from our contractors, and that they're provided with access to what they need. [27:00] Agree on how often you'll meet and if it will be virtual or in person. Provide your voice and brand guides up front to avoid extra editing.  [30:34] Ask how they prefer to receive feedback and share your feedback style.  [39:45] We use Asana to set up projects and tasks for contractors. Include all of the necessary support documents and be as specific as possible.  [45:16] Make sure they create their work on your Google drive. You want access to all of your stuff created by them.  [48:27] Action steps: Get clear on the hours and budget. Begin your search and onboard with everything I've shared. Give them a project test run. Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts "I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy."

Budding AND established entrepreneurs, this is a GREAT one for you. I spoke with Jaclyn Johnson, founder of New Money Ventures and Create and Cultivate, about investing and fundraising. We discussed the gap in financial investment in women, how to start investing, what she looks for in companies to support, suggestions for fundraising, and more!   Jaclyn recognized a gap in conversations, resources, events, and community for female millennial entrepreneurs and responded with a solution, Create & Cultivate, the wildly popular media platform and nationwide conference. This passion for supporting female entrepreneurs has sparked her latest endeavor, New Money Ventures, a venture capital firm and brand studio on a mission to fund and build the next generation of game-changing, female-led companies.
