Are you still feeling unfulfilled or like a part of you is still wondering “is there something more”?    Meet Ali.    Ali is a former lawyer turned baker and owner of the Good Cookie Sweet Shop.

An answer with a cute pink door, loads of gratitude, and an extraordinary way to mix family and business.

The Amplify Show is here to shine a spotlight on inspiring people doing incredible things, to help you amplify your business, and your life. In episode 1 of The Amplify Show I am talking with Alex Charfen, business coach extraordinaire and author of The Entrepreneurial Personality Type.  Alex has a history of taking failing business and turning them around, so maybe it shouldn't come as a shock that after his own real estate business went bankrupt, his next venture made it onto the Inc. 500's top 50 list in it's first eligible year. As my own coach, Alex has given me a roadmap for growing my business, my team, and my overall clarity in life.    “Essentially, every business is a turn-around because there's always challenges in a business.”- Alex Charfen   Moving the Needle Now   Alex shares his philosophy for strategic business planning, implementing processes that move the needle forward now, rather than trying to plan far into the future and having to constantly realign a confused team. He says that having a plan for today forward rather than an obscure 3 year vision is the best way to explode growth.    EPT and the Legacy of the Huntress   We talk about the Entrepreneurial Personality Type, Alex's book and theory defining fundamental traits that entrepreneurs share, and why people like us are vital to a growing society.    “..we are that small percentage of the population that… goes through the vulnerability and exposure it takes to question the status quo..”  -Alex Charfen   He shares about his systems and programs, and what it means to be a “huntress”. Alex believes in the power of strong women, and empowers women to help themselves and each other in his mastermind and business coaching groups.    “You can be both--you can be the mother and the nurturer and a family leader, and also lead a business.” -Emily Richett   Morning Routines for Intentional Success   High achievers know that how you start your day matters, and Alex is no exception. We talk through his personal morning routine, and the top 3 things you can do to improve your mornings.    “...the way you start your day with intention is going to be carried throughout the day.” -Alex Charfen   Topics discussed with high growth business coach Alex Charfen in this episode of The Amplify Show: Strategic business planning Entrepreneurial Personality Type Alex's Mastermind and his definition of the “huntress” Women in business  Morning routines for high achievers The top 3 things to incorporate into your morning routine Rapid Fire Round Q&A on business tools, false beliefs and what he knows to be true   Connect with Alex Charfen: Website Billionaire Code Facebook Instagram Connect with me: Website Instagram Facebook

Wondering how you can get PR and media coverage a for your agency? Afraid your agency isn't newsworthy? Then it's time to learn some simple tips to get your agency the media coverage it deserve so you can generate interest and leads organically, plus amplify your brand. Today's show guest is talking ways to jump-start your agency's publicity. In this episode, we'll cover: 3 tips to achieve media coverage. The #1 thing to do for a media interview. Today I chatted with Emily Richett, founder and owner of Richett Media. In 2013, Emily left her job as a TV news reporter to start a new venture and naturally leaned towards publicity. Over the past five years her agency has grown from a solo act, to now 5 full time employees. Emily shares some great advice on working with different media outlets and how to start getting your agency in the news. 3 Tips To Achieve Media Coverage Your agency is newsworthy, even if you don't think so. There are always ways to be newsworthy if you understands what the media outlets are targeting, what they care about and the natural ebb and flow of the news cycle. Emily shared 3 big tips for getting noticed by the media: Make it easy for the media to want to cover your story. The media is going to cover seasonal and holiday trends, based on their annual calendar. If you can connect the dots for them and align with a season or time-sensitive current trend you're more likely to get noticed. Create the hook for the media. Often times reporters are too busy, so if you do some of the leg work for them it's a much easier sell. Tie into what the media outlet's viewers care about. People care about people (not businesses) and their impact on society. Outline how your agency is making an impact, whether on a local or national level. Utilize social media as a media lead generation tool. On Twitter search #journalrequest, where journalists request information and quotes for stories. On LinkedIn, use Dux Soup as a lead generation tool to leverage for media lead generation. Check out other resources, like H.A.R.O. ("Help a Reporter Out") The #1 Thing To Do For a Media Interview Prepare in advance! You want to leverage this media opportunity, so you MUST do your homework in order to make your media coverage great. See if  you can find out what questions they will ask. A great way to do this is to study past interviews. Create a list of questions you want to be asked in order to touch on the important topics; provide the list to the media outlet. If your agency will be in print, provide professional pictures and /or headshots. If you agency will be on TV, shoot a hi-res B-roll and provide it. Remember to be yourself. Find your agency's voice. [clickToTweet tweet="Fifty-percent of a great PR opportunity is getting the press. The other 50% is leveraging the media exposure." quote="Fifty-percent of a great PR opportunity is getting the press. The other 50% is leveraging the media exposure."] Always have a call to action with media coverage. Make sure the viewers can find your agency or your client.

There's this idea out there that building relationships is just easy for some people. And sure, if you have a social personality and are naturally an extrovert, or if you love to talk and connect with people, then yes, maybe building relationships is easier for you. But your personality style doesn't have to dictate your ability to build relationships! After all, everyone has a little bit of insecurity in them. As you can probably guess, I'm a huge extrovert. But I still get a little nervous walking into a party or situation where I don't know anyone. We all know what it's like to feel like the new kid at school. So for those of us who have a super extroverted personality style, it doesn't mean that we won't ever struggle with building relationships. And building relationships isn't only vital in your life, but it's also vital to your business. Everything you will ever achieve in your life will come through people-so becoming good at building relationships is one of the most important skills you can develop. In fact, if you don't have key relationships, you won't get anywhere. Related: 4 Friends You Need in Business Why Are Business Relationships so Important? Even if the only person that works in your business is you, you still don't have to go it alone. Building strong business relationships will set you up for success in these areas: Getting your products into stores Collaborating with bloggers and influencers Gaining referrals for new customers Connecting your clients with supplemental vendors Overcoming challenges when you get stuck And who doesn't need help with at least one of those things? So, in this episode, I'll give you the five steps to making strong business connections. My Guest This Week Is Emily Richett! Emily is a publicist, consultant, and the founder of Richett Media. She is a former TV news reporter. While in that role, she covered over 6,000 inspiring stories about entrepreneurs, businesses and nonprofit organizations. So, she's basically an expert on how to share the story of your business and get exposure. Sharing your story is one of the strongest ways you can build business relationships and get PR, and we're going to learn so much from her! In this podcast, Emily and I talk about: Why it's easier than you think to get media coverage, especially as a small-business owner How to think like a reporter and pitch your story as valuable to them, so that they actually want to help you get exposure and access to their audience The best times of year to seek out local media coverage based on your type of business Overcoming Imposter Syndrome when you're competing with owners of bigger businesses How to build amazing relationships with reporters and influencers so they have you back for repeat collaborations Creative, outside-the-box ways to promote your business From Building Relationships to Busting Business Loan Myths I was reading a Forbes article the other day called "Best Small-Business Loans For Women in 2018," and I was encouraged to see the latest stats on female-owned businesses. Basically, y'all are killing it. But the article goes on to talk about all the different ways you can get small-business financing. Now, you know I'm all about y'all growing your businesses. What I don't want you to do is believe that taking out loans is the only way to do that. In fact, taking out a loan isn't an indicator of success or growth-it's a risk and a loss of power. But I am here to tell you that you can chase your dream and achieve success-and do it all debt-free! In fact, I know and have personally seen countless women who've done just that. Just listen to my podcast interview with Melissa Hinnant, founder of Grace & Lace, who did $800,000 in sales her first year in business without borrowing a penny.

Welcome to Season 1 Episode 1 of the Creative Business Success Podcast! In this episode, I talked with https://www.angelamoorepersonalstyling.com/?utm_source=thecelab.com&utm_medium=referral (Angela, a personal stylist from St. Louis). She's been struggling with finding her ideal clients in order to grow her business, though. In this episode, I worked with Angela to find opportunities to identify and connect with her ideal clients, create mutually beneficial business partnerships, and get the word out about her services. Here is a cheat sheet of some of the episode highlights: Angela's intro, 0:50 Her local marketing obstacles, 1:41 Creating mutually beneficial partnerships, 2:28 Expanding your network, 3:14 Thinking outside the box, 4:37 Going beyond your current audience, 5:28 What to do with all your new options, 7:37 Finding partnerships for workshops, 7:49 Expanding your testimonials, 8:28 Check out Dubsado to improve your workflow, 9:46 PR reach, 10:25 https://richettmedia.clickfunnels.com/optin-thank-you-page16406253 (Emily Richett's PR webinar), 11:46 Why we all need an outside perspective on our business, 13:20 Where to connect with Angela, 15:29 Let's dive a little deeper into a few of these local marketing obstacles and solutions, though! 1 | Create mutually beneficial partnershipsAs an entrepreneur and especially a solopreneur, it is SO easy to get in the “it's just me, myself, and I” mindset. That's just not true! There are so many others out there who would love to collaborate with you if you'll just ask. For Angela, I suggested finding some partnerships in her local area, but depending on your type of business, you could do this online too. In this case, Angela could reach out to travel agents to offer packing services to their clients and wedding coordinators to offer wedding party styling services, just to name a couple. Get creative with your partnership ideas, too! If you're having trouble thinking of any, ask your friends and family what other kinds of services they think would complement yours and start there. 2 | Go beyond your current audienceThis one may seem kind of obvious, but it's surprising how often we overlook it. Angela was focusing on young moms as her primary personal styling audience. The problem is, young moms often don't have much time or disposable income, which means they can be a hard sell. Instead, I suggested that she consider reaching out to business women and groups that cater to them instead. These women often have the money for a great wardrobe, but don't want to waste the time picking out an outfit every morning. Angela's personalized lookbooks would be perfect for this audience, as it would give them a quick way to choose an outfit without sorting through their closet fifty times! When you start to think about who needs you AND has the ability to hire you or purchase your products, you'll find your sweet spot (or two!). Don't get stuck in the rut of who you've already been reaching out to – go beyond it. 3 | Expand your testimonialsIn Angela's case, she had some great testimonials on her site, but they're easy to pass over. Instead of relying on text-based testimonials, I suggested she consider getting video testimonials as well. This is perfect for her services because they are so personal and visual. Showing HOW she helped a client dress well for a particular body type is powerful. Video garners much more attention than text these days, so she can use it in other applications besides just her website. Those testimonials could become Facebook ads, be featured in webinars, and so much more. If your testimonials are not helping you convert leads into clients, it's time to try a new tactic. Go outside of the standard text testimonials and see where they take you! 4 | Connect with local media for PR!This is something that terrifies a lot of entrepreneurs. After all, what would I even talk...

***We had a poor connection so Kris' volume is a bit low, it's not your speakers. It's the holidays and for me there nothing that make a better gift than a book. On those cold winter nights you can settle in by the fireplace with a good read in your hands. Just the feel of good paper does it for me;) Or if you are into the downloadable kind, well, that will work too! Today I had a chance to catch up with Kris Carr, best known for her Crazy Sexy Everything Series. I first learned about Kris, when I was diagnosed with colon cancer back in 2009 and a local television reporter by the name of Emily Richett gave me a Crazy Sexy Cancer card to life my spirits. Today Kris talks a little bit about her cancer diagnosis, how eating well is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your body and shares a bit about the recipes she came up with for Crazy Sexy Kitchen. If you think this is another "tree hugging, fruit and granola lovin' cookbook, you couldn't be more wrong.
