Thanks for tuning into Instant Impact with your host, Elyse Archer. Today’s conversation is with Kate Gremillion. Often times, business owners can feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to get through their massive to-do list and slide into a feeling of being overwhelmed. We can get caught up in the image and personal branding and forget about putting supports in place to make it sustainable. Kate is an expert at all things streamline. She works with business owners and entrepreneurs to systemize and streamline their work by tweaking, organizing, and trimming our day-to-day activities. She uses strategies she’s developed to create freedom with our time without working for sweat equity. Owning a business doesn’t have to be stressful! Kate shares her tips for getting started: A “Purse Dump.” This is where Kate lays it all on the table and write down everything they should be spending their time on. This can help bring to light all the extra things on their plate. There are two questions to ask here: is this essential or is it generating revenue? Automation. What software can be used to free up time? Things like, scheduling social media posts, accounting, and sending emails can all be automated at a lower price than you would think. Outsourcing. If the thing they’re spending time on is essential or generating revenue but can’t be automated, it’s a good time to look at hiring someone who fits the job description you have based on your specific needs. Batching. Once Kate has narrowed down what has to be done, batching is a good way to get things done in advance and while you’re in a mental space that’s dedicated to the task at hand. Schedule. This is self-explanatory--decide how you want to spend your time. Kate goes on to explain her top tips for social media efficiency. She likes to think of social media posts in 90-day campaigns. Establish a clear goal and work backward from there. Her system is MVP: M: Mirror--give your audience something they can see themselves in. Think “Do you ever feel like…” V: Value--offer a tip or trick they can implement and get immediate results that will improve their lives. P: Personality--share a little about yourself! Give your audience someone they can connect with. She continues on suggesting that you should build credibility before having an ask, but do include a call to action in every post. What you’ll learn in this episode In today’s episode, you’ll learn how to streamline, manage, and systemize your work to free up your time and energy. You’ll get some tips on how to get started, what it can cost, and what results you can see from making your business work for you.

Making it in today s business environment isn t about hanging out a shingle and selling lots of widgets. It s about constantly reinventing yourself, creating your own unique brand and, in some cases, branding yourself as an expert in helping others create their own brand. It s business 21st century style, and Baton Rougeans are proving themselves adept at playing by the new rules. Cary Bonnecaze is owner of Bonnecaze Absinthe and Home, a Baton Rouge based manufacturer and wholesaler of absinthe fountains, spoons, glasses and sugar cubes used to prepare traditional French absinthe as it was made in the Belle Epoque. You would think there would be a limited market for this, not least because the heyday of absinthe was not in the last century but in the one before that. But you d be wrong Bonnecaze Absinthe and Home sells to a robust clientele that includes Las Vegas casinos, large scale absinthe distilleries and mom and pop retailers around the US and Canada. By the way, if you, think you recognize Cary s name from somewhere, In his previous life, he was the co founder and world class drummer of the hometown band that made it big in the 1990s, Better than Ezra.

Hello Martinis and Your Money Listeners!! We are officially on the summer schedule here at Martinis and Your Money which means that at least one Friday a month I’ll be replaying some of my favorite shows while I take some time to catch my breath on the podcast recordings and focus on raising money for the Financial Gym. Today I’m replaying a show that aired a little over a year ago about crafting a job you love with Kate Gremillion from Mavenly & Co and the Women Work and Worth Podcast. For me a great podcast episode is one that I’m still thinking about a year later and this is one of those to me. There is a lot of information out there glorifying the entrepreneurial lifestyle and journey and I think too many people think about this path before they really consider being what Kate calls an intrepreneur. If you’re wondering where your career path lies, I hope you’re considering intrepreneurship as one of your alternatives. And now here’s Kate again.
Charlene talks with fellow podcaster, Mavenly + Co. founder and CEO, Kate Gremillion about how her happy life is a direct reflection of the work she does supporting women and our professional goals. While she did not set out on a quest to start her own business, her stable corporate high-rise PR job just wasn't enough to satisfy her need to contribute at a much higher level. Kate shares how she manages to work happy while strategically surrounding herself with subject matter experts smarter than her in their chosen field. Kate admits her transition wasn't a clean break but a series of smart intentional actions that included having a savings fund to carry her through her transition, doing work for other entrepreneurs around in areas that would be excellent on-the-job training for what would come to be Mavenly + Co. Kate asserts finding the right mission driven partner that is the ying to her yang with trust and empathy at the forefront of their working relationship has proven to be just what she needed. Keep an ear out for Kate's business book recommendation for entrepreneurs at every level.

Find Your Dream Job: Insider Tips for Finding Work, Advancing your Career, and Loving Your Job
Informational interviews are a fairly recent strategy in the search for a new career. The application process and job searches of the past were more formal endeavors. As a job seeker, this new adaptation gives you more networking opportunities than were available before. Consider your existing network and divide it into two categories: Your strong ties — People you immediately think of as business connections. Your weak ties — People who are separated from you by a few degrees. Friends of friends, for example, can become a great career resource. When working to build your network, guest expert Kate Gremillion recommends asking your strong ties this question: “Knowing my interests and knowing what I want to be doing in my career, who would you suggest I speak with?” She says people genuinely enjoy helping other people, so this is a great place to start. Checking LinkedIn connections of people who have influence at a company you want to work for is another great tip. These “weak” ties can turn into strong connections if you approach them in a professional manner. Once you’ve landed an informational interview with a contact it’s important to: Allow the other person to chose the method of communication. Prepare 3-5 actions the person could do to help you if they ask. Take a genuine interest in the other person by listening more and talking less.

Kate Gremillion, founder of Mavenly and Co, provides young women with resources to design a career and lifestyle with purpose about going from being an Employee to being an Intrapreneur. Kate is going to share her best practices and tips for how you can craft the right job for you without having to create it on your own. I think my biggest takeaway is to remember that if you’re unhappy with your job, take the steps to job craft your way into a better position for yourself. The number one way to make more money is within the place you work and the best way to spend less money is to be happy in the place you work. Job crafting is a great solution to get you to where you want to be without taking all of the risks to do it on your own.
