If you have been wanting to learn how to start a business, but have no idea where to even start, you are not alone. According to research, over 90% of new online startups fail. Many of them launched prematurely and had no previous business experience. There is nothing worse than pouring your heart and soul into a business, then having it fail within the first year. This fear of failure and lack of knowledge prevents many people from even starting. So, how does Marie Forleo's B-School work, and why were we not taught these essential entrepreneur survival skills in school? Thankfully, this article goes over all the essential business and marketing components that Marie Forleo B-School has to offer.

After a rough few months, Marie Forleo announced that she is walking away from the B-School group which housed over 30,000 B-School Alumni. To say that people were and are shocked is an understatement, me included. She and her team announced they would no longer be responsible for the group effective immediately. Why does this matter? I've been watching, waiting, sitting back and observing for the better part of this year. I have struggled to put into words my sentiments and struggles with what is happening in the online place, in the US and around the Globe (no this is not a political post - just stating). Over the years, the online space has slowly eroded into what it is today. A "fake it, till you make", "do as I say, not as i do." and "Hustle" mentality. With that said….here are my lessons I wanted to share with you: 1) Practice what you preach 2) Never lose touch with your ideal client 3) Learn to lead 4) You can create a wildly successful business with one product 5) Be open to feedback and criticism 6) A community needs a leader 7) Own Your Power 8) Listen ___________________ Are you spending hours looking for the perfect picture to post on social media? Imagine what it will feel like when you’re finally able to spend less time on social media.

Think you know everything there is to building an online business? Turns out, having a 'beginner's mind' when you're ready to scale makes leveling-up that much more lucrative. Today, I'm sharing why I decided to join Marie Forleo's B-School (class of 2019) after 10 years of being in business and why, even after knowing about the program, I decided now was the best time to dive in to the B-School curriculum. This show is in no way associated with Marie Forleo's affiliate program, just an honest assessment of how to use programs like B-School to take your business to the next level.Ready to take your brand message to a new level?

Dr. Karen Litzy is a physical therapist, successful podcast host, and owner/operator of a concierge Physical Therapy business in New York City, where she treats patients in their homes or work place. In this episode, Joel chats with Dr. Karen about panic attacks, podcasts, and program creation. And how she’s leveraged existing assets to build an entrepreneurial empire that flourished from taking risks and building relationships. Episode Discussions What Karen’s done to launch multiple successful programs Info product creation and validating business ideas How she’s built a thriving business leveraging her podcast The one lesson she learned that repeatedly lands her new clients How she attracted high-end CEO clients when just starting out How Karen grew a following and influence The pitch that got accepted and landed her international speaking gigs How a blurb in a flyer generated over 20 new clients Panic attacks when you take the leap Creating your own luck by working hard Risks are at the core of entrepreneurship The simple actions Karen took to learn about running a business If you try to do it all, it'll keep you small Asking clients for business advice What inspired her idea to help therapists create their own businesses How and why she got into physical therapy The common thread amongst leaders and influencers Knowing when it’s time to go out on your own Why you shouldn’t hesitate to be honest and vulnerable [4:49] Starting line: Karen left her job at a hospital and moved from Pennsylvania to NYC to live with a girlfriend because she ‘thought it'd be fun.’ [6:19] Entrepreneurial bug: She couldn't find a physical therapy job she liked so she took a job as a personal trainer and it ignited her entrepreneurial spirit. [7:21] For a year, she worked full time at a gym, building relationships and making connections. [11:19] First client: Karen was working at an outpatient clinic when someone from the gym sent her a referral who became her first concierge client. [13:47] "It was the sheer exhaustion of working too many hours a week that prompted me to say, 'you know, I think I've had enough." [15:05] As she worked part time at a friend's clinic, she started seeing more side clients. [15:46] "I had a full-on panic attack when I decided to let go of those 8 hours and do this whole thing on my own." [16:50] Continuing education: Karen read business books, took Marie Forleo's B-School, and asked her CEO clients for business advice. [17:57] One piece of advertising advice from a client that produced over 20 new clients. [20:32] Accepting help: "Your current clients are your biggest advocates and if you're not leveraging them, there's definitely lost opportunity there." [21:12] If you try to do it all, it'll keep you small. [22:39] Pivoting into program creation: The same questions kept cycling in her social media groups and emails so Karen put herself out there and started helping. [26:43] Seeing opportunity: 65% of physical therapists are women but there are very few women teaching them how to be successful entrepreneurs. [29:52] Business idea validation: An online program Karen launched 3 years ago successfully helped people grow their businesses. [32:12] Growing a following: Karen's audience comes from a podcast she launched in 2011 and a large social media presence. [39:28] "It's been fun. If anyone ever said to me even in 2016 that this is where I'd be now, I'd say you're crazy." [40:08] The pitch that avalanched more speaking gigs. [43:01] Being honest and vulnerable allows you to create deep relationships and open doors. [46:25] "Say yes to as much as you can until you have the luxury to say no."

Kerry Burki had an idea simmering in her head ever since high school. She wanted to make all women feel beautiful. This idea sat in her head for years before she would finally unleash it. Kerry's story starts like a lot of our stories. We have a kernel of an idea that sits in our heads. Sometimes we act on it, but more often than not, we let it sit. Then, something pushes us to act on it. Kerry's push came twenty years later in the form of her time in Marie Forleo's B School. Kerry was working on a blog called Handmade Success, which helps people sell their work on Etsy, when her kernel of an idea crept back in her head. The only difference was, this time, instead of pushing the idea away again, Kerry decided to pull the trigger. She asked women of all different ages and sizes to come over for a photo shoot. And with the help of a photographer friend, she began the first shoot of what became Kerry Magazine. She was finally doing her part in making all women feel beautiful. What started off as a small idea in her head has evolved into a full-blown magazine with three issues under its belt. In this episode, Kerry talks about letting your younger self guide you, learning to say no, and shifting your mindset, among many other things. Here are three things you can learn from Kerry: Let Your Younger Self Guide You We all have ambitious ideas when we're young and naive, before life gets in the way. We believe the whole world is our stage. We believe we can do anything. Most of the time we let those ideas go and we lose our way. Just like Kerry did. "I feel like we have things about ourselves when we're younger that could guide us as we get older, you know, for what we want to do in the world, the changes we would see and everything, but sometimes... you can get really way off track. And that definitely happened to me." While most of us never act on those ideas. Some of us do. All it takes is listening to what your inner voice is telling you to do. Because if you do it right, executing your ideas can change your life. "Sometimes I think it is kinda important to get back in touch with your younger self and see if you can remember what some of those ideals were and see if some ideas pop up... because since I've been working on this, it's been awesome and amazing and so fun, and it's not even anything I was thinking about over the last twenty years and there's some stuff that we knew when we were younger that I think we've forgotten." Learn to Say No One of the things that plagues many people is our discomfort with saying no. When people ask us to do something, it feels uncomfortable saying no them. But that's exactly what Kerry did. Instead of agreeing to lead a class for kids' yoga, she decided it was best to say no. Because once that door was open, she was afraid she would be known as someone teaches kids' yoga. "I didn't want that to be what I'm known for, and it's not what I do. So it was interesting to have to come and figure out who do I want to help, what do I want to be doing, and to say no to things that don't go with that." Kerry was afraid that she would fill up all her time with things she didn't want to do. Instead, she asked herself who she wanted to help and who she wanted to align with. Doing this would help clear her path forward. "I felt like I could have filled myself up so that when something did come along, I would have been like I don't have time for it. Right? And that would have been hard, you need to find where you need to be aligned , who you need to be aligned with... I started adding to what I say to myself in the morning... in the beginning of the day to say 'Please allow the people who are going to light my path to easily show up in my life today.' And when I read that, I said I need to start saying that every morning. Open myself up to allow the right people to come in that will help you see the path of you where you want to go forward." Shift Your Mindset One of the keys to Kerry's creative breakthrough was changing her mindset. Like most creatives, she used to have a mindset of fear and scarcity. After all, doing nothing is much easier than doing something. But once she re-framed her mindset, things started to work in her favor. "I feel like there's a lot I've learned. That you have to come from a place of being open to receive instead of fear of that scarcity. Like I'm not going to be able to figure it out or people aren't going to want to do it. That's just an easier place, your thoughts just go there easier, and again I just started coming up with re-framing those types of thoughts and repeating it... a lot and saying 'It's all going to work out. It's all going to come together.' And... when I do that regularly, it works." The biggest mindset shift comes from looking at things in a positive light. When you expect good things to happen, they really do start to happen. "Really, if you can switch to being open and expecting to receive good to come your way... it's almost like a light switch. It can really start to shift things." Read more shownotes from episode 75 with Kerry Burki
Over the past 10 years, I've been exposed to hundreds of eCommerce website through corporate clients, small business owners that I've coached at Retail Bliss and through my community mentorship within Marie Forleo's B-School program.

Hey gals, Danielle here. Maybe you can relate to this feeling: complete cluelessness. Yes? I believe we have all been there. I consider myself a pretty determined and inquisitive person, but there is only so much you can find when you have no clue what you are looking for, you know? YOU KNOW?! Back in 2011, my first FULL year in business, I was really good at one single thing: observing. I made a habit of watching, listening and paying very close attention to what the other businesses I saw online doing. It wasn’t creepy, I swear. One name kept coming up over and cover: Marie. Who was this mythical Marie of whom I heard so many speak? Ms. Marie Forleo, I came to realize, is like — the Beyonce of online business and she opened my eyes to something very important: everything is figureoutable. HELL YES, it is! That’s what I was doing – I was figuring it out. That’s actually what I believe we are all always doing: just figuring it out. However, UNLIKE everybody, some of the people I observed were lightyears ahead of the pack and it could all be traced back to one single decision: the decision to invest in learning. I came to realize that there are two options in business and those are you either waste time, or you spend money. The people I was most impressed by all had one thing in common: they invested in a head start. They invested in learning, and many of them invested in Marie. After I took B-School in 2012, I was mindblown. My brain was so far outside of my face it was insane. HOW on earth did I not even know half of this business stuff existed. I didn’t know about Blue Ocean or email marketing. I didn’t know about online communities or copywriting. All i really actually knew was I was overwhelmed with info. But I was thrilled to bits to have unlocked this powerful world of knowledge, I knew I just had to take it one bit at a time. B-School is not just an online course – it is a methodology. There is a system, there is an approach, there is your business: operating at a higher level…. this is the ladder up. I’m SO excited to be partnered with Marie and her team this year – 4 full years since I have taken B-School. Because at this point I have used the B-School materials on 3 very distinct projects and businesses. I used it in my product based business at Merriweather Council, the podcast here at She Percolates and my service based business as well. I am going to use it again on another project I have in the works as well. It’s relevant to all of these things because it is an honest to goodness BUSINESS CLASS for modern entrepreneurs. Allow me to be fully transparent for a moment: I would still be clueless about some of the things I learned in B-School had I not taken it. Seriously, there are things I learned I B-School that I heard for the first time about there and then not again until recently or still haven’t heard others talk about. YIKES. It doesn’t matter what you’re selling – business is business, marketing is marketing, ideas need wings. Wings don’t just appear, they are built. If B-School peaks your interest, then let me tell you it is worth every penny of your investment. And I do not say that lightly. And neither do other people. I’m willing to bet that if I asked you who do you look up to most in the online business world – your modern entrepreneurship role model – you’d name a B-School alum without even knowing they were. Because I fully believe in the power of Marie’s teachings, I am proud to be suggesting you at least check B-School out and see how you feel about it. If you are a handmade shop owner considering B-School, please take note of the super special bonus package I am offering if you enroll in B-School via my affiliate link. Here is how this works: in exchange for referring you to Marie’s program, she will pay me a commission. Because of this commission, I am able to offer the following bonuses to you for free (you pay nothing extra, but get these goodies in addition to B-SChool) + access to my Etsy Training Course ($172 value) + a copy of Conquering Chaos eBook ($15 value) + a copy of Conquering Chaos Audio Book ($9 value) + a live hangout with Jen + I during the B-School program (Let’s be honest: priceless memories will be made) + an hour long personalized consultation with me ($250 value) + a copy of my eBook the Handmade Shop Owner’s Communication Kit ($15 value) That is $461 worth of extra business betterment you get for free when you purchase B-School using this link. It is very important that you use this link to purchase in order to access these additional bonus materials that Jen and I are offering. PLUS I will check in with you via email throughout the B-School period to make sure you are doing alright and support you through this business changing experience. This is an immense value-add if you are in handmade business! Please email me at Hello (at) shepercolates.com if you have any specific questions about B-School or would like to know if this would be something you’d benefit from. Again, I fully believe in the power of this course given my personal experience with B-School and may earn a referral fee if you purchase through my link. I really wouldn’t bother suggesting you consider this course if I didn’t think you’d love it. If you are anything like me you will enjoy it. All of that is great, sure, okay Danielle… but where do I even start with this? Okay, well, start here. And seriously email me if you have questions. I’m not interested in selling this to you. I’m interested in you taking your business seriously and encouraging you to explore what you can do. I know that Marie’s course is on point but I also know it’s not for everyone. So I’m available to chat if you have questions. Hello @ shepercolates.com

On this episode of the Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast, I interview Anne Samoilov, on the topic of online launches. I consider Anne to be an online launch expert, and while that's not a title she would likely give herself, it's very fitting. Anne has worked on several big online launches including Marie Forleo's B-School launch that you have may heard me talk about in episode 3. It's a strategic and smart strategy to think about the promotion of your business in terms of launches, and I wanted to interview Anne because she has a unique, holistic look at launching anything online that I know you'll find helpful. In this episode, here’s what we’ll cover: How Anne defines launching (it's not what you think!) A common misconception regarding launches How to set a foundation for a successful launch How having the right systems in place can free you up to be creative How to make sure you're targeting the right people And so much more!
