Podcasts about minding my black business

Fighting back white tears....

This week I shared my thoughts on niching beyond private practice and at the end I gave you a small list of niches I think we need more of you to create programs and services around. Keep reading for a summary of what I talked about. Niching beyond private practice is SO different from niching to fill a practice. You CAN fill your traditional private practice without a narrow niche. Once you move into the global online space, you are likely to need a narrow niche. What's a niche? A niche is a problem your person is trying to solve. An identity or community is not a niche, but an identity or community can be a huge ingredient of a niche. Here's why: Even if you came up with a group for 49 year old white cis queer women who are parents by both adoption and birth, live upstairs from their sisters, and are Elton John fans, I would not join until you told me what problem you're helping us solve. (That describes me, if you didn't guess.) That said, identity can be a HUGE part of what goes into your niche. Just look at the amazing work of Dr. JaNae Taylor, who helps Black entrepreneurs create wellness in community in her company: Minding My Black Business. Here are a small number of real niche examples from folks who have been through Rebel Therapist programs: Tia Hackett has a couples workshops for people who need help with communication and may not have access to or time for couples therapy. Monica McClain-Reese helps couples learn to manage their money together. Maureen Cotton helps couples plan unique and powerful ceremonies without succumbing to the Wedding Industrial Complex. Liz Adams helps women with ADHD who have dreams they're not living yet. Kelsi McMartin helps parents of kiddos who have recently come out as nonbinary or trans. Caitlin Olsen helps progressive mormon women figure out their path. Staci Boden has a group coaching program to help recovering type-A change makers and leaders to follow energy instead of pushing and controlling. Valerie DiLuggo has a program helping straight single women create joyful whole lives as they take a break from dating for a reset. Samantha fox has a program helping women who are coming out as lesbian or queer later in life. Katie Nasherson runs a program helping people rebuild their lives after a tragedy or devastating event. Jesse Kaufman helps private practice therapists overcome visibility barriers to authentically market their work with video. I'll be sharing more examples soon. Here's why you should have a narrow enough niche: So you stand out and come to mind in a global online space when that niche is talked about, even if your audience is not huge yet. If you've got a huge audience already, you don't need this advice. Hey Oprah, Brene, and Glennon. What's up?! Some fears may come up for you around niching, and what I want to tell you about each one. Fear: I'll choose the wrong niche. Tell that fear: You are not making a permanent decision. Fear: I'll be bored. Tell that fear: When you go narrow, you get to do some deep work. You'll still be doing a lot of different things with your participants. Fear: There's too much competition. Tell that fear: You can't actually take that niche on all by yourself. Also, some folks would prefer to work with YOU. Fear: Niching doesn't feel like freedom to me. Tell that fear: Try using a vague niche and see how it goes! Choose a narrower niche when you're ready. One possibility for people who hate niching: Start with a broad niche and sell your program based on your reputation with your network. Then narrow your niche so that you can sustain your business over time. Here are some filters to run a niche through to see if it might work: The people with this problem know they have this problem. You're not trying to convince them that this issue is a problem. They have already tried things to solve this problem. Perhaps they've done other programs already, read books, or paid money in some way to solve it. You have talked to actual people who have this problem. It's not based on a made-up avatar. You can easily describe this niche in one sentence. If you need to go on for several paragraphs, you're not there yet! This niche passes the "cousin test." When you tell someone about your niche, a particular person comes to mind, perhaps their cousin or neighbor or friend. You hear "I know who will hire you" rather than "Oh that sounds really cool. I bet everyone needs that." This niche brings you joy, at least some of the time. If working on or talking about this problem causes you pain or harm, move on. You have a LOT to say about this niche. You could sit down and think of 50 topics, tips or ideas to share with the people who deal with this problem. Bonus: If solving this problem is on your person's to-do list, that's even better. Let's look at some fictional Niche Makeovers as examples: vague: I help women through transitions more viable: I help women through breakups vague: I help people who are dealing with difficult problems at home or at work. more viable: I help parents who are struggling with their 5 to 10 year old kid's behavior. vague: I help people use intuition to make better choices. more viable: I help people use intuition to manage their feelings and choices around money. vague: I help women be their best selves. more viable: I help white women stop behaving in racist ways. Your first step in figuring out your niche and turning it into a business: Listen to real people within this niche. You can talk in real time or through surveys, email or by mining your memory bank. If you're thinking about past therapy clients who are within this niche, mine your memory bank instead of directly asking them. That would be unethical. Some of the questions to ask: How would you describe the problem? What do you think the solution looks like? What have you already tried to solve this problem? What happened with those attempts? What (besides price) would make a program a no brainer for you? Listen. All of this listening will help you create your pilot offer and your marketing. Don't half-ass this niche research. It is the most important foundational work for creating a great offer. HOWEVER, don't fall into procrastination or perfectionism. This world needs your ethical micro business. Just a few niches I'm not seeing enough (not even nearly exhaustive): Please create a program around one of these topics! I'm only naming big rough niches here, so there are many specific niches possible within each one.

As you get ready to move beyond private practice and create your signature program, you might believe you'll need to run many many programs in order to stay interested. I'm gonna tell you to start with one. Usually boredom is not what happens. If it does, you can add more! I'm on round twenty (!) of my core program right now, which had a few different names in the beginning. It's been called Create Your Program for quite a few minutes now. I'm having fun making changes to improve it every single time. We just added a session with an attorney who answers legal questions and a systems expert to help with setting up tech. Of course I'm always fascinated by the participants and what they're creating. There's just very little boredom happening around here. This week's Rebel Therapist podcast guest is positively obsessed* with her program as well. You're about to hear from someone who loves fine-tuning her signature program. Therefore she's created an outstanding program that her participants love. It's called Mindful Moguls. Listen to how Dr. JaNaè Taylor thinks about the needs of her Mindful Mogul participants, as well as her own needs, to craft an excellent experience. You might even discover that you want and need to jump into the next round of her program. Dr. JaNaè Taylor is a Licensed Psychotherapist in Virginia Beach, VA, where she owns and operates Taylor Counseling and Consulting Services. She specializes in providing mental health services exclusively to the Black Community. JaNaè's expertise has been featured in Money, SHAPE, Refinery29, Cosmopolitan, NBC, and CBS among many others. As the Founder of Minding My BLACK Business, Dr. Taylor has created a digital space that provides resources, workshops, programs, and a podcast for Black Entrepreneurs to check in on their mental health and each other. She was on Rebel Therapist back in November of 2017 so go listen to that one too to see where she was 4 years ago. Here's some of what we talked about: Creating her 8 week program for Black Service Oriented Entrepreneurs Creating an after-care program How she landed on 8 weeks for this program Using 1:1 sessions within her the program Making changes in the second iteration of her program What she sees as successful outcomes for her participants Her love-hate relationship with social media and which posts gain traction What happened when her IG account was shut down An update on her podcast, Minding My Black Business Here are some takeaways that particularly stand out to me: Takeaway #1: When you set the length of your program, go for that sweet spot where participants are still engaged and excited, and they have enough time to develop as a group and attain their goals. "You definitely don't want to feel like people are rolling their eyes when it's time to join the group on week seven, that they're over it. And at the same time you want to have that kind of natural group development." Takeaway #2: Get started with your program and then be ready to make changes in round 2. In the second iteration of her program, she made a few changes to make it ever better for her and for her participants: bringing in 2 guest teachers, increasing the number of weeks, and adding individual sessions. "One of the feedback points was that they wished that they had had more time with me. And in my mind, I was like, well, what do you mean? We were together for 6 weeks. And I was like: Oh, solo! Okay." Takeaway #3: As you run your business for a number of years and reiterate your program, you don't necessarily have to work as many hours to keep growing as you did in the beginning. "I don't feel like I'm doing it as many hours as I've done it before. There have been months where my laptop is closed on the weekend and that was unheard of for me."

This week we talk holidays, the end of the semester, and supporting Black owned businesses. 

SHOW NOTES: This week next level entrepreneur Dr. JaNae Taylor and talk about the dangers of the hustle, and what’s considered a healthy hustle, and structures to keep from burning out as you are growing your business. Highlights from the conversation: In this podcast, Dr. Taylor - a PhD Psychologist, host of the “Minding My Black Business” podcast, and founder of Taylor’s Counseling and Consulting Services - talks about mental and emotional health for black entrepreneurs. Dr. Taylor’s Background ● While she was pursuing her degree, she noticed the constant demand of assignments. Everything that happens behind the scenes isn’t a priority. As long as academics are fine, nothing else matters. That translates after getting the degree. Doctors prioritize how they perform at work over how they feel as individuals. ● She started a private practice in 2016, and was also working part-time as a university counselor. She initially had the door wide open in terms of who she was seeing, and slowly became more niche, working exclusively with black people. Her podcast started after hearing all the sacrifices doctors made, as well as experiences from her own journey. The Danger of the Hustle ● The word “Hustle” gives the impression of the need to constantly be doing something. ● Probably about 80% of all entrepreneurs, particularly black entrepreneurs, are solopreneurs. They invest all their time in their ventures, and hardly ever have time for themselves. And that has mental health negative outcomes, such as anxiety and depression. ● When you have your own business, especially when it’s something that you love, it doesn’t always feel like love. That makes drawing a line more difficult. It’s important to be mindful of when to disconnect. The Healthy Hustle ● Hustle isn’t bad itself. Creating something from nothing and pursuing something that’s your own. That’s great, it’s worth having, and worth working for it. But how do we keep it healthy? By drawing a line. Just like we know it’s healthy to put boundaries to our personal relationships, the relationships with our businesses should have limits as well. Some signs we should stop and establish boundaries with the hustle: ● Isolation - It’s good to find a support group, plus it can give you new perspectives! ● Burnout - Taking some time off is necessary. ● Fatigue - Don’t forget to sleep. ● Lack of structure - Think and write down the following steps. Having a plan is super important. ● Ignoring your mental health - If you are struggling, don’t be ashamed to turn to a therapist.

Episode 2 Season 3 "Red Lipstick Chronicles - Tips From The Lips Of Successful Entrepreneurs" Host & Founder: Shaniece M. Wise - Business Expansion Coach & Strategist Guest: Dr. JaNae Taylor - Licensed Therapist/Counselor Dr. JaNae Taylor is a licensed counselor in Virginia Beach, Virginia. She is licensed to practice in the state of Georgia as well. Dr. JaNae is also a therapist, entrepreneur and podcaster. In September 2017 she started her podcast, Minding My Black Business and the focus of the podcast is to provide mental health for the black community Dr. JaNae realized she wanted to be a therapist for the black community when she had the opportunity to see other people who looked like her, doing exactly what she desired to do. Being on her own at her private practice, she decided to offer mental health services exclusively for the black community. Dr. JaNae does individual, some family, and some couples counseling. The focus is on healthy relationships, having a work life balance, race related traumas, and black entrepreneurs feeling overwhelmed, isolated and anxious. Dr. JaNae finds that the black community has some of the most creative and motivated people, that put a lot of energy and attention into their goods and services. The area that they do not put as much attention towards is the personal impact the business has on them and the self-neglect. Business owners believe there is something shiny about the Hustle Mentality, but in Dr. JaNae’s eyes, there is a lot of danger in this mentality. She believes that the danger in the hustle mentality causes people to not only say, but act on the phrases, “I will sleep when I am dead”, and, “No rest for the weary”. She feels this is not practical or the truth because everyone needs rest. Dr. JaNae’s says the idea is to humanize black entrepreneurs. She wants black entrepreneurs to recognize their talents and gifts. She needs them to understand that there are times when they need take a pause and rest, because a healthy entrepreneur is a healthy business. Here are four ways, Dr. JaNae believes black business owners can pace themselves, and at the same time grow at a high level: 1. Give yourself permission to not be “on” at all times, for everyone. 2. Make sure you are a part of an accountability group or you have an accountability buddy, that is connected to your business/industry and understands entrepreneurship. 3. Get back to the basis by drinking water daily, eating consistently, getting rest, and staying on a schedule. 4. Recognize what you do as a business owner and know your boundaries. A book that Dr. JaNae recommends is By Dr. Beverly Tatum, “Why Are The Black Kids Sitting Together In The Cafeteria”. Dr. JaNae is currently working on a Digital Academy, which will have skilled based worksheets for black entrepreneurs to purchase and use.
