In this episode of the Balance Boldly Podcast with Naketa Ren Thigpen, we meet Brandi Bernoskie, a blogger and the founder of Alchemy+Aim. She opens up about new ventures, growing a business organically and the importance of intentionality.What I have noticed is that there is sometimes, this lie that we tell ourselves that our meaning, like our meaning as individuals comes from doing, and that is not the truth. So, you can get absolutely lost in that space if you keep buying into that and think that your meeting your value, your worth is in the doing, is in the achievement, and in all of those details, the awards and accolades and milestones and goals you've reached. But we are so much more than that. – Brandi Bernoskie [14.02]What you will learn· How Brandi turned to the path of blogging and consolidated herself professionally· The importance of work-life balance and intentionality.· Why it's necessary to commit to and take care of yourself first.· How she creates a buffer period after an intense work period.· How life's meaning does not always come from action, awards, and milestones.· The way we often do things to project a favorable appearance.· Not everything needs to be captured by our phone for it to be captured in our heart.· Why she took the bold decision to eventually move away from blogging.· The concept of "pivoting."· How it doesn't hurt to be Jack of all trades if it gets you closer to your purpose.· The Sunday ritual that helps Brandi to be more intentional. More about Brandi BernoskieBrandi Bernoskie began her career as a blogger, teaching herself the ins and outs of WordPress before her friends began to notice and asked her for help with their own websites. When she found herself hiring her first assistant after freelancing for a while, she knew she had something special.

What does it take to create powerful change? To disrupt an entire industry? To improve the lives of people in every corner of the globe? The simple answer: innovation. The more complicated answer, however, is a mix of innovation, strategy, adaptability, experimentation, and commitment to social change. That’s what entrepreneur and innovator Brandi DiCarli tapped into when she set out to disrupt the agriculture industry as we know it.

On this episode of Talk Bravely, I have the privilege of chatting with Brandi Johnson, personal stylist and leader in a popular fashion tech company.  Brandi has degrees from Brown and UC Berkeley and early in her career was a partner at a national consulting firm where she coached professionals on achieving their goals. She quickly earned a reputation for style along with training and found herself regularly coaching colleagues on looking their best.  Fast forward a few years and tons of hard work, and Brandi found herself training with Stacy London from TLC’s What Not To Wear. After that experience, Brandi decided to merge her two passions of coaching and fashion and founded her styling company Brandeis Nicole. Since officially starting her styling business in 2012, she’s styled over 1000 clients, built out a company that allows for in person and virtual styling, and now also has a successful career in a leadership role with a well-known fashion tech company. What we’re talking about: Brandi’s career path and bold decisions to grow her business How Brandi’s matriarchal family structure influenced her personally and inspired her love for fashion and personal style. Where Brandi got her confidence to start her own business after considering herself a company woman. How she went full time in her personal styling business and two months later worried if it would be sustainable. Her encouragement that spending money on your business and investing in your business can feel very similar but are in fact very different - and explains how founders can get clear on the two. The benefit of other women championing her business launch and how she used a pricing strategist to help her determine how to price her services.   The process of thinking about increasing styling prices or increasing scale. What to expect when working with a personal stylist - honesty, fit, and fun.  Connect with Brandi: www.brandeisnicole.com @brandeisnicole on instagram and facebook Style for Smart Cookies facebook page   Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast!

Take the Free "Jumpstart Your Website Traffic" marketing mini-course at www.jumpstartyourwebsitetraffic.com Leave a Review! My guest today is Brandi Mowles, a Facebook and Instagram ads manager who grew her business from zero to six figures in just 10 months. She started her online business last year as a social media virtual assistant and soon discovered her love and talent for optimizing sales funnels and driving conversions through Facebook ads. Brandi is super passionate about helping service-based entrepreneurs scale to 5-figure months so that they can enjoy the financial and lifestyle freedom that she has earned. What I loved about Brandi - aside from learning a ton about what NOT to do with Facebook Ads - is that she’s so confident in her knowledge and her ability to help businesses be successful. And I think being confident in what you do combined with a great strategy for marketing yourself is the winning combination to being able to grow your side hustle quickly. Today we’re talking about: How Brandi went from being a stay at home mom to building a 6 figure business in just 10 months. Exactly how she found her first virtual assistant clients. How to respond to job postings online in a way that makes you stand out. How Brandi used LinkedIn to get clients. Why Brandi transitioned from being a virtual assistant to a Facebook Ads manager and how she built a reputation for herself as an expert. Why she’d rather spend $3,000 vs. $100 on training. The biggest mistakes people make with Facebook Ads (that I’ve totally made with mine in the past!) The one belief Brandi had to change about herself to get where she is today. That was such an awesome conversation, and I think back to my first 10 months in business and think, ohmigosh there’s no way I would have been able to do what she did. And it’s not because I didn’t have the knowledge or the skill, it’s because was not nearly as confident as Brandi is. But what I know now is that it’s just all in how I was thinking, and I think the biggest reward I’ve gotten from growing my side hustle is the personal growth that comes with it. And as I grow into the person I need to be to handle success, the success appears. So listen, if you’re looking to fast track your side hustle as a service provider to six figures without having to hire a team, Brandi has something special for you. On July 16th and 17th, she will be sharing the 5-figure framework that not only helped her scale to consistent 10K months but can help you do the same! Register for her free training here https://www.brandimowles.com/register My favorite quote from Brandi: “Stop consuming so much content and go market your services. You’re going to learn so much more by doing then by consuming.” Resources Mentioned in this episode: The LinkedIn Code by Melonie Dodaro Rick Mulready James Wedmore Brandi’s LinkedIn Training More About Brandi As a social media VA turned Facebook ad strategist, Brandi Mowles grew her income from $0 to 6-figures in just 10 months. In addition to running the service-based portion of her business, Brandi also helps other service-based businesses scale to 5-figure months so they can enjoy the same financial and life-freedom that she has. When she isn't creating a killer Facebook ad or teaching other service-based businesses how to scale, you can find Brandi hanging out with her husband and 17-month old daughter.
