Want to hear about some of the behind the scenes moments from BizChix live? Hint: it's not all pretty. I'm sharing some things that no one else knows happened, the fear I experienced right before the conference and the incredible experience of seeing a community I have built over the last 3+years come to life. Dream it. Do it.  Key Takeaways: [1:01] Natalie will be giving a recap of BizChix Live! [2:50] Natalie shares how BizChix Live started off, with exclusive activities for her VIP clients. [11:02] Before BizChix Live, Natalie was planning to close her membership site down! [16:48] The main event kicked off on October 18. Natalie talks about how she modeled the conference and some of the details about the events that went on. [20:26] The night before a full day of delivering content, Natalie was feeling miserable and throwing up! She shares how she dealt with it — fear and mindset had a large part to play. [27:52] Natalie’s keynote speech was about being a CEO: “Being CEO — Transforming into the Leader Your Company Needs.” [30:44] The next item on the agenda was a talk by Natalie Gingrich on Strategic Planning for CEOs. [31:02] Natalie gives a shout out to Dana Malstaff of Boss-Mom for giving her the impetus to make a conference happen for the BizChix, and inspiring the workbook for the conference! [33:40] Another element of BizChix Live was a mastermind panel with live hot seats. [35:54] The next segment of the day was focused on planning and Natalie delivered a talk entitled “Planning 2018 Like a CEO.” [37:40] The ladies got changed into comfortable clothes for the next item on the agenda — the Implementation Party. [40:55] Natalie shares some of her takeaways as an event owner and organizer. [44:44] At the Implementation Party, the ladies were so enthusiastic that they didn’t want to stop working! [46:33] Every morning, the MC and Event Historian, Edie Berg, hosted a power walk! Natalie also gives a shout out to Chrissie Wywrot and Tara Humphrey, who made it to Soul Cycle on Friday morning. [47:25] On Friday, the event started off with Key Takeaways followed by Natalie's 2nd Keynote speech “The Battle for Your Entrepreneurial Mind,” where she talked about mindsets and other related ideas. [48:30] Some of the other talks on Friday were given by Carol Cox, who spoke on the topic of increasing visibility in your business, Shelli Warren, who spoke about building an ideal team, and finally Natalie herself, delivering the closing Keynote speech “No Woman Left Behind.” [52:41] Natalie’s parents and sons made an appearance at the end of BizChix Live! Natalie talks about the closing of the event. [57:35] You can get your tickets for BizChix Live 2018 until October 30th, or again in January!

It seems counter-intuitive, but it's true: the narrower the niche for your business (or podcast), the more successful it will be. In this episode, I talk with my guest Edie Berg about her shift in focus from strong women to strong Jewish women, some of her concerns in making this change, and why she ultimately decided to do it. We cover a lot, including: Why you need to niche down in your business Why Edie decided to shift from talking to all business women to focusing on Jewish women One of the reasons that almost kept Edie from making this shift How being open about your identity and what matters to you gives validation and permission to others How Edie’s online summit is set up and her business model for it What Edie looks for in selecting podcast guests When pitching for podcasts or speaking engagements, why what you do isn’t as important as your bigger message The angle I used to get on podcasts last fall and why it worked How Edie can pitch sponsors for her online summit My advice for creating an elevator speech   Edie Berg is the founder of The Strong Women’s Club, whose mission is to promote Jewish women’s leadership and to build a community of Jewish women who support one another, through workshops and masterminds. As she says on her website, “No politics, no judgement. Each member celebrates her Judaism in her own wonderful way.” Edie is the creator of the Strong Jewish Women’s online summit, which is The World’s Largest Online Symposium for Jewish Women, which is coming up soon. It’s entirely free to participate: 5 days, 2 live panels, over 40 interviews and practical sessions. You’ll hear stories from Jewish women leaders and learn practical and useful tools and tips to grow your business. This summit grew out of Edie’s podcast, The Strong Women’s Club, which highlights the behind-the-scenes stories of successful Jewish women. I met Edie because we’re currently in a mastermind together and I’ve been on her podcast (episode 66), before her decision to niche down from strong women to strong Jewish women, which is part of what we discuss in this episode.

Hi everybody, I'm Edie Berg, thank you so much for joining me today! Today's episode is #84 of the longer version podcast, and next week's episode is #85 -- amazing how it works that way, hey? So for these two episodes, I'll be doing solo episodes, and let's see how we go. A few reasons for this: 1. I like doing them! It's fun just to talk into the mic: it's kind of freeing for me! 2. I don't have to worry about having a guest. So this is also true for the quickie history podcasts, the #SWC's, that I don't have a live guest whom I ask questions. In the quickie podcast I talk about a strong Jewish woman in history, and it's only about 5 minutes long. So even if you hate history, you can probably swallow these podcasts, plus I try to make them interesting with sound bites from the past, which are really fun to hear. 3. I feel the need to start talking about issues that I'm thinking about, and start teaching! So you probably know that I'm working on a big leadership conference that I'm producing, coming up at the end of March. It's a ton of work. In that conference we'll concentrate on leadership, gender equality, entrepreneurial skills, and Jewish daily life. So I figure it's a good idea to start teaching some of those, or all of those, topics here too. So today, I'm taking kind of a cool short cut. Cool for me, that is. Last summer, or rather, for the whole second half of last year, I decided it was important to write for large online publications. I still think that's true, and I'll be going back to that more once the summit is over for this time. One of the article I wrote was for Success.com, and it has been shared on Facebook over 49,000 times which really is a lot of times!! So although I find that rather surprising, I thought I'd take the opportunity to share the article here. Now the article is a listicle, which is an article based around a list, duh. I used that format, not because I particularly love it, but because Success.com particularly loves it! The title of the article is “15 Traits of Unabashedly Successful Women.” I'm going to talk about all 15 traits that I wrote, but not all today. I'll do half today, and half next week, so it won't be too much for you, or for me, all in one episode! So let's get going!! I learned from interviewing super-successful women each week for well over a year, and that's where I gathered this info from. It isn't a scientific research article. More things that I've learned, and now I'm passing them on to you, my lovely listeners, whom I appreciate so much!! Number one: Unabashedly successful women play to their strengths! So before you can play to your strengths, you have to know yourself pretty well, or really well, know and accept that you aren't good at everything, but you are really great at some things. Do those, and delegate the rest! For example: you love to talk on podcasts, but you don't love the social media aspect of running an online business? Get somebody else to do it! They'll thank you for it, they'll do it a lot faster than you, and certainly better than you. Plus, you'll have more time freed up from not doing what you don't love to dedicate to other tasks that need to be addressed. So that was successful women play to their strengths. Number two: They have ambition. These women do not dream about being the best in their section or in their department. Their eyes are set on being the best in the state or country, at least. Most want to change the world! So think big, then think bigger! Am I teaching leadership? NO! I'm building a movement of career-minded women who want to change the world for themselves and for the following generations! Number three: They stay positive. Successful women, actually, successful people, which will include men, even though I tend to talk about the standpoint of the woman, because that's what I understand best; successful women know how to deal with disappointment in a way that keeps them from getting down and staying down. They know the future will be bright for them. And they know it from inside themselves, not needing constant encouragement from outside sources. So get it into your head, and believe it, keep it there, that you will be a success! You already are a success! And tomorrow will be even greater, even brighter! Number four: They're organized. Ok, so not every person is born organized. But the successful ones behave this way: when I approach them to do the podcast, they say yes or no, but they answer quickly. If it's a yes, then they check their calendars, book a date, then do the interview. Not a lot of reschedules, no extra emails. They decide what they want to do, when they want to do it, and then they just do it. Simple and organized. No big deal. Number five trait of unabashedly successful women: They're constantly learning. These women do not stay static. They are continuously improving themselves, use mentors and coaches to accelerate their improvement. This is important, as are all the other traits on this list. But you not only need to keep up with the game, you need to get ahead of it, and you need to even invent it. But if you stay on the same level, then you really aren't. You really are going backwards. And backwards is not a good thing. At every stage of your career, every stage of your life, be sure to be a constant learner. Otherwise, life is just too damn boring. That's a known fact :) Number six! (I kind of feel like I'm emceeing the Price is Right, or Let's make a Deal, which would be kind of cool….) So number six is that they have a strong support system. Most of the women who are really successful have a very supportive partner or family member. They know that they have somebody to lean on when they need it. Warren Buffet has said that this was his most important business decision of his whole life - choosing who to marry. So, this is not to say, and please don't get angry with me, and tell me that there are a lot of fabulously successful single people. I know. I do. But that doesn't mean that who you choose to spend most of your life with isn't a very important decision, that if you get right, that helps!! It just does! You have to admit that's true. Number seven (and the last for today just because that's how I've chosen to split 15 into two): They know that failure and success go together. You know that. What's clever is if you expect it, and aren't afraid of the failure. That takes all of the sting out and that will enable you to readjust, regather quickly, get your ducks in a row, as the girls in my Mastermind like to say, and go for whatever it is again! Stronger now and better now!! So don't be surprised by failure: Be prepared, think out possible scenarios, worst-case events, be ready! Be bummed when it happens, then move on! Ok, So those were the first 7 of the 15 traits of unabashedly successful women. If you want, you can jump ahead to next week, go to Success.com where you can read the whole article. You won't find it on my site, the stuff you write for large publications like that is all original content, so it's not something I republished or anything like that. Or you can just wait for next week's Strong Women's Club podcast episode, which I hope you do! Now I have a request for you- actually, it's a couple of requests: One, please go to iTunes now, yes right now. Even if you're on the treadmill, then stop for just a second, turn your run into intervals, and jump on over to iTunes and leave a nice rating and review. Then, while you're there, please share this episode with three of your friends, who you think might enjoy it! Only three, not the whole PTA, or whatever. Just copy the link right off of the iTunes page there, and paste it onto a WhatsApp group of friends, or onto your FB page, or LinkedIn, or wherever, and share it! That would be really helpful. This podcast has to grow faster. So I truly appreciate it. Truly. Tag me, if you want, and I'd love to thank you. That's thanking you for your thank you, but that's ok. It's nice to be nice to each other. Have a great week everybody, keep working, keep being strong and getting stronger. Ciao for now! L'Hitraot!

Hi everybody, I'm Edie Berg. Thank you so much for joining me here today and this is a quick podcast about a strong Jewish woman in history. Voice 1: Well, now, what is a feminist? Betty Friedan: Feminist? Well, we all have our definition about it, and I say feminism is pluralism, too, that it takes a different form in a different time in different situations. But my definition of feminism is that it is the movement of women to full equality, to true equality, to have their own voice and their own participation in the mainstream of society and it is an explication and an affirmation of values that come from female experience in every discipline and every profession and every part of society, an affirmation of the principles and values that have so far been limited to female experience by men. EB: That was Betty Friedan, a strong Jewish woman who is credited with sparking the beginning of the second wave of feminism in the United States. She wrote many books, the first being "The Feminine Mystique." Betty had surveyed her former college classmates for their 15th-year reunion. And after talking to them, she realized that many of these women, even though they had very comfortable conditions, they lived in nice homes and everything, were unhappy as housewives. And she discovered that most of these women wanted more in their lives than taking care of their husbands and their children in their homes. "The Feminine Mystique," that thing, that title, means it was the illusion made by media that showed that women were happy as housewives, or unhappy in their careers as working women. Betty Friedan, in fact, had to experience that same dissatisfaction in her own life. Here's Betty talking about true equality: BF: True equality, we already have a sense of a more complex definition. And we're not even yet that close to simple economic equality in the job place as well because women are still in this country only 62 cents on the dollar... EB: In the book, she discusses how the first wave of feminism fought and secured really important women's rights such as education and the right to vote. Betty Friedan is credited with sparking the beginning of the second wave of feminism in the US. In 1966, Betty Friedan cofounded and was elected as the first president of the National Organization for Women, or NOW. The main goal of NOW was to bring women into the mainstream of American society in full, equal partnership with men. Pretty simple. She called for the drastic rethinking of what it means to be feminine. And that is the main idea behind the book and the concept of feminine mystique. In 1970, Betty Friedan organized the Women's Strike for Equality, which was a huge success, a big march which was a forerunner of the big women's march that we just had in the beginning of 2017. Betty was a very strong supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment to the constitution, which of course passed congress by a huge landslide. There's a quote from Betty's memoir, in Life So Far, where she says, "The truth is, that I've always been a bad-tempered bitch. But some people say that I have mellowed some. I don't know." When Betty was asked if she thought she would see, in her lifetime, true equality between the genders, this was her answer: BF: And I think that in our lifetime, we might see it, but that means that the young women that are saying "I'm not a feminist, but..." have got to start saying "I am a feminist, AND..." EB: A quote from The Feminine Mystique, is the only way for a woman, as for a man, to find herself, to know herself as a person, is by creative work of her own. Most of the information for today's episode was taken from an interview from the Public Affairs Roundtable way back in 1985, plus from Wikipedia of Betty Friedan and the Feminine Mystique, and from the Jewish Women's Archive as usual. Thank you for joining me today, if you like these podcasts please jump onto iTunes and leave a rating and review. It's an awesome way to say thank you and it doesn't take much time, plus if you listen to the podcast make sure that you subscribe. And also share it with three other people that you think would also love it. Maybe your daughter or your friend from the gym who's running next to you on that treadmill, or maybe a friend at work who's complaining about the long commute or somebody who says that she's in the car all the time, driving kids around. Share it with them, that would be a great gift to me and make a big difference to the podcast as well. I really, really appreciate it. Have a wonderful week, the next podcast this week is Starting a Success Series, so stay tuned for that. Ciao for now and L'hitraot!

Hi, everybody. I'm Edie Berg and this is a quick, short, and practical podcast with your brags plus tips and tools to help you be inspired, know that you're not alone and to set and reach your goals, however big or small they may be. Today's brag is from a wonderful woman. Her name is Shelli Warren and we are in our Mastermind together. Here's Shelli's brag. Hi, Edie. It's Shelli Warren and I'm checking in all the way from Canada. I love connecting with you in our Mastermind group with Natalie and the other girls. I'm learning so much from you guys and I love listening to your podcast. I find the caliber of guests that you feature to be simply outstanding. Thank you for the invite to share a brag and so here's mine. As you know, one of the ways that I connect with my membership is I host a monthly live cocktail hour where I put a fabulous woman on the hot seat and I do a live interview with her and we talk about her journey to success. So the premise is to expand our reach, make new connections and go at a much deeper level in terms of connecting with one another. A group of women who follow me from a city east of me reached out and asked me to come and host a series in their city so I did and it was a great turnout. It was a really fun night, it was a really cool location and I'm just more and more thrilled to be able to connect with my members in person. So I'm pumped about that and to see where else it's going to go. Thanks so much! Have a fabulous week, keep up the good work in your podcast. I love it! Thanks, Shelli for taking the time to record your brag. As you can hear, Shelli and I are friends through our wonderful Mastermind group. Shelli actually holds live events which she calls "Feminars" and you can find more about her on her website which is called sheconnex.com. She spells "connects" with an "x", so that's sheconnex.com. As you can hear from Shelli's brag, she's been able to expand her reach, helping women outside of her immediate area so check out what Shelli has to offer on her website. Maybe you'll also be interested in working with her. Today's tip is directly related to this week's podcast interview with Bea Johnson. As you may have heard on the show, Bea recommends reusing almost everything including clothes which is something that I've been doing for a long time. Here in Israel, we don't really have thrift shops but there is a second-hand consignment store next to my house in Cfar Shmeriyahu where I live, and I shop there for clothes and shoes for myself and also for my daughter, sometimes. It's a little store, you need to kind of sift through everything that's there and I know that if I'm going to shop at her store, I'm going to be there for an hour, at least, more like an hour and a half. That kind of keeps me away for a long time because generally, I don't have time to spend shopping like that but every so often I do, especially if I know that I have an event coming up. For example, New Year's Eve is coming up around the corner so I want to buy something kind of shiny and sparkly to wear which is not exactly how I usually dress but New Year's Eve is almost like a costume, so I like to wear things with sequins, really play it up a little bit, look a little Las Vegas-y. I even have a fake fur coat that I like to wear so it's time for me to go to the second-hand store. If I don't buy something for New Year's Eve, I don't find anything that I like, then it's also a win because I didn't spend any money. This is a consignment shop so I also drop clothes off there. I take everything that we don't need anymore and I just drop it off so the owner donates probably 95% of what I bring and 5% she'll sell and I'll get 50% of the proceeds of what she sold. I take that money, I never take cash back, I always put that back onto my account and sometimes I can go shopping there and buy one or two things and get them for free, it's like magic. It's a wonderful win-win situation, win-win-win because she also donates all the stuff that I bring in so that works out super well. Around the Holiday time, what's really good about these kinds of things is that you can also buy gifts there. I don't buy second-hand clothes as a gift, usually but I do buy small things of silver. Usually, she has in the store window, maybe a silver serving spoon or something that holds butter that's made out of silver or a sugar dish. Little tongs I bought once, they're gorgeous, for sugar cubes. Beautiful little gifts, unique items, obviously not new so I tell the person I give it to, I say, "Look, I got it at the second-hand store, at the consignment shop." I'm not embarrassed to say it, I'm actually kind of proud of it. So look around in your area for a consignment store and you can buy really unique gifts. I bought once a crystal bottle for liqueur for a friend who likes to make their own cherry liqueur. It was the perfect gift, nothing I could have bought in any store. So have a look at that, you'll save money, you'll get kudos for being creative and you'll be saving the environment as Bea Johnson says. Check out your consignment stores in your area. That's my tip for the week. It will save you money and it's kind of fun to do too, you might get a deal that you hadn't expected. So go have an awesome week, everybody and go be strong!

Edie Berg is a former physical therapist and chef, current bank executive turned podcaster and mastermind group motivator. She encourages women to reach their potential through her podcast and passion project.

Today's episode I talk to myself … a lot! No special guest stars this week, only me, talking about what I've done so far, hardships and hiccups in the past, and plans for this show in the next year. I tell you about my past experiences, the motivation behind the podcast, why I choose to empower women and motivate them to reach their dreams. This is a wonderful new adventure for me that carries with it a heavy importance and a mission. The mission is to teach women and show them through real life stories that it is never too late to fulfill their dreams. This podcast is not fluff or abstract or cliché's. I talk to real women who have worked hard, had bumps and lumps along the way, and are sharing their stories with us so that we can learn from them. Today's episode is personal and a little revealing, but not TMI, I hope. And as I talk to you my thoughts become clearer and my message stronger. Let me know what you think about today's episode. You are the reason I do the podcast and I truly appreciate you, the wonderful women in this club! Check out the mastermind program. The prices are still really low.
