Lady Change Makers with Jessica Bargenquast One of the most challenging things for women business owners is getting their business in the spotlight. While we talk a lot about women supporting women, it's much difficult to apply in practice in a men-dominated industry. Having platforms amplifying women's voices is critical to even out the playing field in the competitive world of entrepreneurship. With the help of these platforms, we can open up more opportunities for women to build success. In today's episode, Jessica Bargenquast talks about the ins and outs of Lady ChangeMakers. She discusses the reason behind building this directory for women business owners. She also takes us through how she dealt with its technical aspects. Jessica also shares how she navigates the extroverted world of entrepreneurship as an introvert and her favorite parts of running the platform. If you want to support and amplify the voice of women business owners, this episode is for you! Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Find out how to support women business owners through an online directory. Discover how you can start a website and app for your business that's not from scratch. Learn how you can get out of your comfort zone as an introvert while staying true to your nature. Resources My first book, Relationship Ready: How I Stopped Fucking Randos and Started Cupcaking My Soulmate, is available on Amazon and Audible. FREE workbook! Apply the lessons you learn from this episode as you listen! Subscribe to my mailing list, and I'll send it right away! Connect with Jessica: Instagram | LinkedIn Lady ChangeMakers Join the Lady ChangeMakers Directory's Facebook group for their monthly newsletter and listing promotions! The 9 Enneagram Types AppSumo WordPress Squarespace Mighty Networks Powerhouse Women Mind Your Business by Ilana Griffo Episode Highlights Supporting Women Business Owners Lady ChangeMakers started with Jessica's desire to support women business owners but not finding an easy way to do it. That's when she thought of creating an online directory that people would want to use. 83% of women want to support women-owned businesses; 62% don't know where to find them. More Than a Directory Lady ChangeMakers is community-focused. It aims to get women-owned businesses potential customers and help them connect to other women business owners. Jessica's goal in the platform's listing is to make people want to learn more about the businesses. Building the Directory Jessica does not have a technical background. It took her around six months to figure out how to get the directory running. Her tip: Take advantage of available templates and customize them accordingly. Making the Platform Engaging There are a lot of questions to answer when filling out the form for the directory. This is to let potential customers get to know the business. The questions in the form aim to better cater to the needs of different women business owners. They have also launched a Facebook group to interact and connect one-on-one with the people in the community. Navigating the Extroverted World as an Introvert Jessica admits that she does better digitally than in person.  Jessica created the brand so she didn't have to show her face. However, she learned that she needs to show up to make a connection. Showing up requires consistency. As an introvert, showing up is difficult; it can be draining. That's why Jessica's coach gave her advice to create content ahead of time.  Listen to the full episode to learn about the challenge that made Jessica start taking action and showing up on video! Jessica's Background Jessica came from marketing and advertising.  Her goal was to be a CEO by 30.  With this in mind, she started an agency. However, it failed.  Jessica likes being behind the scenes, looking for solutions, and building things.  When she learned to show up and speak up, she realized she could be an entrepreneur. Jessica's Favorite Parts About the Business Because the directory gets feedback from users, the team can constantly add new features to it. Through this, Jessica learns something new to do in the directory.  She also enjoys learning about the business that goes through the directory.  The Businesses in the Directory Anyone who supports women can be in the directory.  One man, who is a fitness trainer for women, currently has a listing in the directory.  There are now almost 700 women business owners in the directory.  There are also listings in Canada, the UK, and Australia. How to Submit a Listing Fill out and submit the listing form at Lady ChangeMaker's website. There are three listing options available: A free listing and two upgraded options.  These options have different benefits attached to them. Listen to the full episode to find out more.  Some Tips on the Technical Side of the Business A PWA (progressive web application) is a website for phones that act like an app without being an actual app.  PWA clones the website for phones. All Jessica had to do was create thumbnail images for different types of phones. Jessica recommends Squarespace for creating websites unless you want to customize. There are various options to build an app without starting from scratch. Listen to the full episode to learn the challenges Jessica faces to get the app into the App Store! Juggling Things and Managing Time Don't feel like you have to do everything. Start with one platform and try to grow from there. Jessica works from home for her full-time job.  She feels lucky because she enjoys working on the directory. Jessica's mornings are her daily non-negotiables. Tune in to the full podcast to know more about Jessica's morning routine! Jessica's Advice for Struggling Women Jessica suggests getting the workbook Mind Your Business by Ilana Griffo.  She shares that it's a good resource to help you if you're interested in entrepreneurship. Her end goal is to create a microloan program for women business owners who are still starting.  5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode [02:38] “We all talk about women supporting women all the time. It's a great hashtag. But how do we really put that to use and put the dollars where our mouths are?” [16:14] “Until I learned to actually show up and speak up was really when it was like, ‘Oh, I could be an entrepreneur.'” [21:45] “The number three problem for women owned businesses is being able to afford marketing. So I never want there to be that barrier for women to join.” [28:50] “My best advice I can give you is don't feel like you have to do all the things… What's the one platform you can do really well? Last year, I chose Instagram. So that was the one thing I was going to commit to every single day… And then just try and grow from there.” [31:10] “I think a lot of history for women has been kind of just glossed over... And so I want to showcase those women who really trail blaze for us… because when we really see those women, we know that we can do that too.” About Jessica Jessica Bargenquast is the founder and CEO of Lady ChangeMakers, an online directory platform of women-owned businesses. This online directory aims to amplify women business owners and their brands.  Jessica is also a Marketing Coordinator at JDA Software.

Thankfully for us, Ilana Griffo, who is a hand lettering artist, surface designer and author of Mind Your Business, was available to spend some time and shed light on the field. She is joined with her business partner Katie Johnson, a lettering artist, freelance studio owner of Katie Made That. These ladies, while not meeting in person, joined forces to co-host an art licensing course that provides awareness and information on how to get into the field.

Welcome back to another episode of Proof to Product! Today’s guest is Ilana Griffo, an illustrator, designer, author, and Tradeshow Bootcamp alumni! Like so many of you fellow entrepreneurs, Ilana built her business from the ground up. She began by launching her own stationery line, moved into designing her own product lines, signed major licensing deals with nationally recognized brands like Pier 1, Homegoods, and Michaels, and just published her first book, Mind Your Business. The key to Ilana’s success? She points to the way her business is always transitioning, pivoting to get to where she wants to go!   On today’s episode, Ilana and I sit down to talk about her career journey and the lessons she learned along the way. She talks about how she got her start in the stationery industry, why she decided to hire a licensing agent, and how that has freed her up to do more creative work. We also talk about pushing yourself to create for fun, fighting for your value, and rethinking failure. Ilana shares some examples of tough situations she went through in her business and how they resulted in some of her proudest moments.   ON TODAY’S EPISODE: Misconceptions people have about the small business life   How to ask for what you want The difference between giving up and letting go Tips for putting together a first portfolio What happens after you sign with an agency   How Ilana turns comparison into inspiration Finding silver linings in self-doubt The importance of fighting for your value Ilana’s intention behind Mind Your Business Celebrating then and now   KEY TAKE-AWAYS:   “One of the biggest philosophies I have is that you need to ask for what you want.” - Ilana Griffo   “I always wanted to create artwork that makes me happy, that makes other people happy.” - Ilana Griffo   “These pivots haven't been, I'm going to give up. They've just been, I'm going to let go of this so that I can move on to something better.” - Ilana Griffo   “It's always scary to make a change, it's always scary, because we don't know what's on the other side. We don't know if that's going to end up being more successful, or if we're going to feel like we fell flat on our face.” - Katie Hunt   “Transitioning into a new role is always a conversation, it's always making a list, it's always the pros and cons, and you will never feel 100% ready.” - Ilana Griffo   “Licensing has been a whole new world that I didn't know existed, and now that I'm doing it more, I'm just learning so much about the industry.” - Ilana Griffo   “It's amazing to see my work on products that I know I couldn't manufacture on my own. I can make a greeting card, but I can't make one that has a popup and holographic foil and all these things.” - Ilana Griffo   “Do things for fun, and then turn them into collections that you would want to buy.” - Ilana Griffo   “If you don't feel that self-doubt, then you don't have the fire of an entrepreneur, because that's what keeps us going every day. It’s that  fire that's saying, work harder, or smarter. Do more. Reach for what you want.” - Ilana Griffo   “Before, I put my value into how happy the client was, or how many clients I had booked, or things like that. And now I put it into how I feel about myself.” - Ilana Griffo   “We will get through this, and you'll figure it out, and it will lead to another experience, a notch on your belt of how you're going to handle things going forward.” - Katie Hunt   “Share the process, share the ups and share the downs, just makes it so real and makes people want to follow along.” - Ilana Griffo   “I want to write down my goals and make sure I'm in line with those, but I also want to sit back and enjoy the ride, and feel really proud about what I did.” - Ilana Griffo CONNECT WITH ILANA GRIFFO: Website: http://www.ilanagriffo.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sugarandtype/ Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/sugarandtype Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/ilanagriffo/   LINKS For another great episode on licensing - Episode 84   JOIN US FOR PROOF TO PRODUCT’S 100th EPISODE!
