In today's episode, I'm breaking down 3 big mistakes entrepreneurs make when scaling their online business. My goal is to provide actionable insights for entrepreneurs aiming to elevate their online ventures.3 Big Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make When Scaling Their Online Business - Key Takeaways:Mistake #1: Guessing Instead of StrategizingEntrepreneurs often overlook the necessity of a clear business strategy and revenue plan, inadvertently hindering their scaling efforts. Prioritizing sales development over audience building is paramount for sustained growth.Mistake #2: Relying on Hope and Prayer Instead of SystemsThe reliance on singular lead sources exposes entrepreneurs to unnecessary risks. Establishing your audience and implementing strategic systems, such as the VEMS model for content creation, are pivotal steps toward success.Mistake #3: Attempting to Fix Sales Problems with MarketingDistinguishing between sales and marketing is essential. Sales serve as the bedrock of any business, necessitating an understanding of customer needs through dedicated sales calls.Client Story:We explore a real-life example illustrating the pitfalls of external referral dependence and the transformative journey toward building an independent audience, culminating in a lucrative six-figure launch.Prospect Story:We delve into a prospect's reluctance to prioritize sales over marketing, uncovering the repercussions of this oversight and the caution against banking on virality as a sustainable business strategy.Key Quotes:It's time to get serious about systems—they are the only path to freedom in your online business.The role of marketing is to amplify what you know about what is effectively working in your sales process. Plan your social media content out in advance. It's a requirement. Your social media does not benefit from lackadaisical planning. You'll get exactly what you're putting into it.Marketing and sales are two completely different skill sets. Don't try to fix a sales problem with a marketing strategy.Unlike marketing, sales is hand-to-hand combat. Engage in one-on-one conversations, understand what resonates with your prospects and customers, and incorporate those insights into your marketing strategy. Stop guessing; the competition is too fierce to build a million-dollar business without a solid strategy. Need to make more money? Focus on sales, not marketing.Resources Mentioned:The Unlaunch Method Workshop: https://www.theunlaunchmethod.com Conclusion:In conclusion, we've dissected the 3 significant mistakes hindering entrepreneurs in scaling their business online.

One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is picking the wrong business. It's crucial to find something you truly love and enjoy the process of doing. Don't just chase opportunities, find a need and solve it with passion.In this episode of the Perfectly Mentored Podcast, Jason discusses the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make and how to fix them. He starts by emphasizing the importance of choosing the right business and not just chasing opportunities. Entrepreneurs should find a need and genuinely enjoy solving it. Jason warns against starting a business simply because it's on a "top businesses to start" list, using the example of podcasting. While it may be a popular strategy, it won't work unless the entrepreneur truly enjoys having conversations and engaging with people. He emphasizes that successful entrepreneurs love the process and the work itself, not just the results. Many entrepreneurs make the mistake of only focusing on the opportunity and the money, rather than the work itself. Jason concludes by highlighting the importance of making money in business, even for charities, as it allows them to make a greater impact.Topics Covered:Picking the wrong business.

Nine  Most Common Self-Care Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make (and how to avoid them)I want to talk about the nine most common self-care mistakes entrepreneurs make and how to avoid them. Self-care isn't just about getting manicures and facials, or even getting your hair colored, or hair done, or even just getting your Botox or your fillers. It's about giving yourself the time and space to live your life as a well-rounded person. It's about treating yourself the way you treat a best friend, your best friend. Entrepreneurship makes it way too easy to ignore self-care. If most of us are honest, we'll admit that we weren't super hot at self-care even before we started our businesses. So self-care is really a mindset problem rather than a logistical one. Here are the nine most common self-care mistakes that entrepreneurs like you and I make.Number one: Skipping meals, eating way too much junk food, or constantly hitting the caffeine to get you through the day.Number two: Going short on sleep, working late into the night, or getting up way too early for clients.Number three: Ignoring your body's need to pee because you just need five more minutes to finish this jobNumber four: Discounting your inner alarm bells and taking on clients that you really don't want to work with. Number five: Regularly standing up to your friends or family to meet a business deadline. Number six: Giving up your hobbies and other non-work interest because you just don't have time. Number seven: Neglecting your meditation, journaling, or other spiritual practice. Number eight: Forgetting to take time out to connect with whatever form of spirit or source that takes for you. Number nine: Feeling as though you need to do everything yourself and refusing to allow the universe to help. In this episode, key takeaways:1. There's only one resource that your business truly can't do without, and that's you.  2. There's a will, there's a way.3. Balancing is important.4. Combine self-care and business together.5. Implement no working days.6. Get clear on your working hours. 7. Implement boundaries with your clients.8. Invest in some help.9.

Hiring is a delicate process and I don't really think there is just one right way to do it. What worked for one person may not work for you. After all, people are all different. But there are some common mistakes I've seen clients make–and I've made a few myself–that I'd like to help you avoid. So I feel it's worth a conversation on how to at least avoid the top five hiring mistakes entrepreneurs make. Whenever we can learn from the experiences of others, we become better equipped and more empowered. Speaking of which, I want to encourage you once again to check out my LEAD FOR WOMEN program. Through this program, myself and my team work with Elite Visionary Women who are effectively leading their teams to bring their genius to life… of which hiring is an integral part. “The sooner you can sort of start to recognize there will always be a cadence to your business that will require you to be hiring, you can get, hopefully, out of this resentment, burden mode and just accept that this is part of what you do.” – Kris Plachy What You'll Learn Bonus: Resenting it's repetitive Taking fails personally Convincing candidate crushes Drying the pipeline Learning from waste Gifting invitations  Contact Info and Recommended Resources LEAD FOR WOMEN: Registration is open (currently there is a waitlist). LEAD FOR WOMEN is THE curated Leadership Development, Training AND Advisement program for Elite Visionary Women seeking to upgrade their skills leading, managing, communicating with, and inspiring the people you pay to achieve results in your business.

Entrepreneurs and designers are caught in an analysis-paralysis trap when starting or growing their businesses. Unsurprisingly, founders want the perfect product or service and brand, but it's important to remember that perfection is optional for startup success. Rather than striving for perfection, entrepreneurs should focus on creating a Minimum Viable Brand (MVB) and building on it as they progress. MVBs require far less effort than a fully realized version, so entrepreneurs can confidently launch without the extra pressure to be perfect right out of the gate. It also ensures that evolution is part of the plan, giving plenty of room to incorporate intricate changes. As daunting as launching a new product or service can seem, developing an MVB can ease some of that stress while ensuring your idea is headed in the right direction! I discuss: Examples of successful entrepreneurs and designers who have evolved their offerings over time, such as Amy Landino, Chris Ducker, and Lee Jackson. Twitter and Pinterest are two examples of companies that initially had different focuses but shifted their offering over time to great success.  Thanks for listening!

In the realm of sales, there is a fundamental truth that holds the key to long-term success: building genuine relationships with customers. But what exactly is relationship selling, and why is it so crucial? Join me on this journey as my special guest Tabitha Benway, and I are diving into this topic and uncovering its remarkable potential.Tabitha has served in relational sales for the last 13 years, studying how people think, what's important to them, what makes them buy, and how to serve them at the highest level. She brings this wisdom to her work, teaching how to create content and communication that causes the right people to buy.Tabitha is a wife, mom, and entrepreneur who believes that when we are all bringing our gifts and serving in the way we were intended to, there is no competition, only infinite abundance for all.Unlike traditional sales approaches, which often embody a transactional and pushy nature driven by fear and scarcity, relationship selling takes on a feminine essence. It's all about putting the relationship first and foremost. As Tabitha puts it - sales is about helping people buy what they want.Picture this: understanding your customers' needs, goals, and desires, and serving as their trusted advisor. It's not just about pushing your product or service — it's about genuinely helping them find the best solution, even if it means pointing them elsewhere. So, are you ready to revolutionize your sales game and create lasting relationships with your customers? Tune in as Tabitha, and I delve into the world of relationship selling. It's time to unlock the magic of authentic connections and pave your way to long-term sales success. Trust me, your business will thank you!Key Takeaways:Special birthday announcement (00:00)Who is Tabitha Benway (02:23)The idea of infinite abundance for all (04:05)Healing competitive nature (06:19)What is relational sales, and why is it important?

Building a business can be hard, but I've found most of us actually make it harder.I wanted to build a business on MY terms... but before I knew what was happening I started to think that in order to succeed I either needed to give up more, put other things on hold, or just work my face off until I "hit it big."Only all of those things lead me to overwhelm, burnout, and not much success.At least that's what it did for me and lots of business owners I've coached over the last 11 years.So what's the solution?That's what we shared in today's video....The 5 ways we make business harder on ourselves, and the solutions to every single one of those self-imposed obstacles.Ready?--------------------Are you into personal development and want to grow exponentially as a team?Sign up and get access to our FREE business leadership bookclub at https://resources.modernleadership.us/bookclub where we choose various leadership and business books to dive into as a team and help each other take our growth to the next level! --------------------Have you considered starting a podcast?

Mark Ireland is the Team Leader of Enterprise Zambia Challenge Fund. This is the second round of funds he has managed at Self Help Africa. He previously raised the capital for and managed Agrifi Kenya. Enterprise Zambia Challenge Fund is looking to invest between €70,000 and €1m.

“Particularly musicians have so many talents and so many things to really capitalize on, and I think if we're going to get anything out of this pandemic, it's the fact that you can make money in so many different ways without even having to come in contact with anyone.” Lots of innovation has hit the industry during the pandemic, and with this, we're redefining what it means to be a musician. As we stretch the bounds of our creative careers, there's a lot of unchartered territory that needs clarity that we oftentimes dismiss. This episode, we're continuing our Non-Musician Perspectives series with KCA project manager Jennifer Cubides to talk about 5 mistakes entrepreneurs make in the music industry, with emphasis on clarity: Lack of clarity in the product or service that you're offering Lack of clarity in pricing and what that's going to get me Contracts Communicate the scope of the project Lack of boundaries around personal investment in projects With this clarity, we can preserve ourselves and our projects to make the best creations and collaborations we can.
