This September 11, 2023, I had the honor of holding space for an intimate conversation with civil rights leader, lawyer, award-winning filmmaker, educator, and best-selling author of the book SEE NO STRANGER, Valarie Kaur. The fact that we were recording on September 11th was meaningful, because the tragic event that had taken place 22 years ago shaped Valarie in profound ways and set her on a path that she never expected. Valarie became an activist after a man of the same Sikh faith, a father and family friend she called uncle, Balbir Singh Sodhi, was the first person murdered in hate violence in the aftermath of 9/11. For two decades in his memory, Valarie led visionary campaigns to tell untold stories and change policy on issues ranging from hate crimes to solitary confinement to digital freedom. Along the way, she earned degrees at Stanford University, Harvard Divinity School, and Yale Law School. Today, Valarie is the mother of two children and as you'll hear her share, the experience of becoming a mother inspired her to birth the Revolutionary Love Project, which supports communities with practical tools to transform the nation from inside out. Revolutionary love, Valarie says, “is the choice to labor for others, for opponents, and for ourselves. Love is sweet labor — fierce, bloody, imperfect, life-giving, a choice we make. And it begins with wonder. You can look at anyone and say: You are a part of me I don't yet know. From there, we begin to transform the world around us, and inside us.” There is a lightness and hopefulness in the tone of our conversation that we wouldn't have in the same way if we recorded the conversation today. I'm grateful for it. Valarie thanked me at the end for giving her the deepest breath she had in a long time. During a time in our country and world, where so many seem to be disconnected from a sense of our common humanity and divisions between us are widening, I hope this conversation is a deep breath for you. Because as Valarie says as she evokes the metaphor of a midwife in her famous Watch Night speech, linked in the show notes, we must first breathe and then we push. The mother asks "what if this darkness we face is not the darkness of the tomb, but the darkness of the womb?" Today we breathe and tomorrow we will labor in revolutionary love.    About Valarie Kaur: VALARIE KAUR is a renowned civil rights leader, lawyer, award-winning filmmaker, educator, innovator, author of the #1 LA Times Bestseller SEE NO STRANGER, and founder of the Revolutionary Love Project. Valarie burst into global consciousness when her 2016 Watch Night Service address went viral with 40 million views worldwide. Her question “Is this the darkness of the tomb – or the darkness of the womb?” reframes the historical moment and is now a mantra for people fighting for change. Valarie became an activist when a Sikh father and family friend Balbir Singh Sodhi was the first person murdered in hate violence in the aftermath of 9/11. For two decades, in his memory, Valarie led visionary campaigns to tell untold stories and change policy on issues ranging from hate crimes to digital freedom. Her work ignited a national movement to reclaim love as a force for justice. In 2021, she led the People's Inauguration, inspiring millions of Americans to renew their role in building a healthy, multiracial democracy. Today, the Revolutionary Love Project is seeding networked communities of practice across the country, equipping people with the practical tools to build beloved community and transform the nation from inside out. In the last two decades, Valarie has won policy change on multiple fronts – hate crimes, racial profiling, immigration detention, solitary confinement, Internet freedom, and more. She founded Groundswell Movement, Faithful Internet, and the Yale Visual Law Project to equip advocates at the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and justice. Valarie has been a regular TV commentator on MSNBC and contributor to CNN, NPR, PBS, the Hill, Huffington Post, and the Washington Post. She is a celebrated prophetic voice and has spoken widely, including at President Biden's Inaugural Prayer Service. Valarie earned degrees at Stanford University, Harvard Divinity School, and Yale Law School, and holds several honorary doctorates. In Fall 2022, President Biden honored Valarie at the White House in the first-ever Uniters Ceremony, naming her as one of 16 leaders whose work is healing America. A daughter of Punjabi farmers, Valarie grew up on the farmlands of California, where her family has lived for more than a century. Her grandfather gave her Sikh wisdom through stories and songs that showed the way of the sant-sipahi, sage-warrior. The sage loves; the warrior fights — it is a path of revolutionary love.   Connect with Valarie: Website | valariekaur.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/valarie.kaur.page Instagram | @valariekaur Resources from Valarie: Revolutionary Love Project Website  See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love Valarie's TED Talk: 3 Lessons of Revolutionary Love in a Time of Rage Valarie's Famous Watch Night Speech: Breathe and Push  The Revolutionary Love Training Course  9/11 20th Anniversary Learning Hub Wise Woman Guided Inquiry    Topics Discussed in this Episode: Valarie's story about the birth of her son, with her mother by her side, and the lessons she learned about motherhood from that experience. Mothering as a verb and how mothering often feels like walking through a ring of fire.  The experiences that set Valarie on a path of activism after 9/11 and the surprising spark moment she learned from her grieving aunt.  How becoming a mother changed Valarie's orientation from activism fighting against hate to activism fighting for revolutionary love. Valarie's experience moving to the Rainforest to reflect on all she learned and write her book See No Stranger.   Revolutionary love as the call of our times. Valarie's epic snapshot moment nursing her daughter while she was at the White House being honored. The quote from Audrey Lorde that reminds Valarie to care for and invest in herself - “We can learn to mother ourselves.”  The Wise Woman ritual Valarie experienced with two of her Sikh friends and the meditation she offers to help you tap into your inner Wise Woman.  The lullaby Valarie wrote and sang for her daughter that will become a children's book, “World of Wonder.”    This Episode's Challenge:  Valarie says that the root of love is wonder and sings us a lullaby she wrote for her daughter about wonder. She encourages us to wonder about our partners, our children, our friendships, and beyond. Wondering about each other is a revolutionary process in a society that wants to shut down our ability to look at one another's faces and say “You are a part of me I don't yet now.” It's so simple but it can change everything and help us birth a better world.    Other Episodes Mentioned in this Conversation:  Good Life Project Podcast Interview of Valarie Kaur  Planting Seeds for Mother's Quest Episode 00     About This Episode's Dedication By Shelly Tygielski: This is the 100th episode of the Mother's Quest Podcast. It feels fitting to mark this occasion with a powerful conversation about Revolutionary Love with renowned civil rights leader Valarie Kaur. Valarie talks about Revolutionary Love as sweet labor and this podcast, since I launched it 7 years ago in 2016, has always been a labor of love. So too has been my form of mission-aligned sponsorship, where rather than seeking corporate sponsors, I invite one mother to dedicate each episode and to make a contribution to support Mother's Quest. In honor of this milestone, I invited Shelly Tygielski, founder of Pandemic of Love, and an Advisory Board Member of Global Empowerment Mission to dedicate. Instead of contributing to Mother's Quest, I made a contribution to the Global Empowerment Mission. I hope you'll join me in celebrating this 100th episode milestone by sharing this important conversation you're about to hear and by making a donation to the Global Empowerment Mission.   Shelly's Dedication: I would like to dedicate this episode of the Mother's Quest podcast to all the mothers of young, innocent children who are caught in the crossfire of war. May these children grow up in a world that is free from hate and injustice. May they be free from suffering. May they have access to opportunities and never be devoid of hopes and dreams. As the founder of Pandemic of Love and an advisory board member of Global Empowerment Mission, we are currently providing aid to Israelis and to Palestinians. When people ask us to choose a side, we say we have. We are on the side of love. Or as Valerie Kaur says it is the best, revolutionary love.

In 2018, I sat down for a special Mother's Day episode with Graeme Seabrook, a life coach and maternal health advocate, affectionately known by the thousands of mothers she supported as the "Mom for Moms." We hit it off immediately, delving deep into her Motherhood Bill of Rights and my E.P.I.C. life framework, and noticing that both had become manifestos for how we wanted to live our lives while raising our children. During that episode, we co-created what we called a Manifesto Challenge, inviting other mothers to create their own. And afterward, we would reconnect in some way each May, grateful to know that the episode and the challenge could spark an opportunity for others to reclaim themselves in motherhood. In 2021, Graeme became ill and spent the next several years in bed, visiting doctors, and coming to terms with the fact that she had somehow suffered brain damage. Along the way, she realized she would need to burn her manifesto down to the ground before creating it anew. Living and mothering through hard and sometimes life-threatening times, and now feeling a little better, she has reemerged, reframing her work in the world as a front-porch philosopher who writes about the intersection between modern motherhood and humanity. When I read a recent blog post from Graeme and realized this would be the five-year anniversary of the Manifesto Challenge, I reached out. I asked if she felt up to recording a special episode with me, where we could interview one another, reflect on the changes and challenges in our lives, and reconnect about the power of manifestos.  I'm so glad that Graeme said yes to my invitation and I'm honored to share this episode with you. Our hour together was more unstructured than my typical interviews, real and unfiltered, and filled with Graeme's signature blend of laughter, tears and powerful insights. I hope you'll leave this conversation, as Graeme and I both did, open to the truth that change sometimes sucks, but that there can be unexpected joys discovered along the way, and that there is always power in owning and sharing our stories. About Graeme Seabrook : Graeme Seabrook was once a life coach and maternal mental health advocate who supported thousands of mothers. Since becoming disabled in 2021, she has reframed her work in the world and is now a front-porch philosopher who writes about the intersection between modern motherhood and humanity.

What if creativity matters more now than ever and if could make everything including work, more fun? Recently in a podcast with Dr. John Gray (link below), he shared how to make things on your “to do” list more hormone-balancing for you. There was so much goodness in that episode you might have missed it. If so, go back and listen, because the tip is so important we really touch on it again today. Fun is the start of wanting to and the end of needing motivation.  Fun with a task at work, (and it's possible), means it's going to get done easier and end better.  Creativity matters when it comes to stress, and to problem solving. And while creativity is encouraged in children up to a point, at some point in life, creativity is actually discouraged for fitting in and doing things that are “normal” and acceptable.  I for one know there are days I'd trade problems I have for today for the problems I thought I had 30 years ago. So let's dive into this episode and find out just how much creativity matters for health and motivation.  Need a more creative way to get more protein in ? My ultimate smoothie guide not only shares 60 recipes for bowls, and shakes to sip and spoon, but I share how to make them for desserts, breakfasts, and sneak protein boosting ingredients into your day.

After completing the world's first parkour- themed Ph.D. she continued to move and learn from some of the best teachers and coaches with different approaches to movement. An eternal optimist, she now focuses on helping midlife women break free from the negative cycle of extreme workouts, diets, anxiety and injuries to, developing a positive aging approach to sustainable strength and balance in life. She uses her M.A.P.S. system: Movement Snacks, Age Positive Mindset, Parkour & Play, and Strong Resting to help people connect to and create a strong body and strong mind. Finding and creating your own fun, sustainable movement culture should be a fun practice that feels good. It's a holistic approach to mind and body. "Move more and dare to be creative in everything you do!” -Julie Angle Questions We Answer in this Episode: [03:24] First, what is “parkour”? What led you to it? [12:44] From your own introduction to me it strikes me that  yours is a story of reinvention. That perhaps is the theme of what you're doing now for other women. Clearly, you've experienced some joy and found purpose in what you're doing now. Share a little more about your personal  journey from artist, filmmaker, author, PhD pursuit and the evolution of it all.  [19:44] What do you believe will get people to find joy in becoming healthy & happy in midlife? What is your MAPS system, beyond a holistic approach to mind and body, what makes it unique? And how was that born?  [25:20] Let's talk about the need for muscle and bone density and the need to marry the methods scientifically proven to support them with the joy of movement. What's your way to provide the science-based stimulus for those things we need for longevity as we can know it in our lifetime? Why do you lead with and believe creativity matters?

No time for indecisiveness on today’s episode, it’s all about making difficult decisions which ultimately end up affecting clients and losing revenue streams. I can virtually hear you shouting at me in horror as I’m typing this ‘why on earth would you do such a thing?!’   Well it’s not an easy decision to make but at some point we have to really sit down and think whether something is still worthwhile to our clients and are they still getting the best from that product/ course? Ultimately we want the best for our clients and if that means changing direction and losing revenue then it’s the best decision you could possibly make for them and yourself. In This Episode: Making Decisions Transitioning Community Expectations Revenue Streams   “Community is everything In in the way that I build and run my business. For me, relationships are everything.“   “You've got to be prepared for the backlash that you're going to upset some people and you know, some people are going to take it well.“   “I wanted people to be able to give me their feedback, I wanted people to be able to express it. Because you know what, if it doesn't come out in my community, It's going to come out somewhere else.“   “And I walked off the livestream happy with my decision, with the way that had been delivered, with the fact that my audience could actually see the good intention behind the decision.“   “You have to make the right decisions in your business for you, but also for your community and you can't be afraid of a backlash. When you are making those decisions, you have to make decisions for the right reason.“ Other Episodes Mentioned:  Tara Stych - The Word Professor https://thewordprofessor.com/ Join the waitlist for the 5k Roadmap smartleaderssell.com/5k-roadmap-waitlist Smart Leaders Sell https://smartleaderssell.com/   Products and Courses https://smartleaderssell.com/products-and-courses/   Contact Me https://smartleaderssell.com/contact-me/   Selling to Corporates Event http://bit.ly/SelltoCorporates-TheEvent    Join my new programme, EVOLVE https://smartleaderssell.com/evolve   Join my Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/FabulousFemaleEntrepreneurs/ More Jess! http://bit.ly/SLSGroup https://jessicalorimer.com/supersize-your-sales https://jessicalorimer.com/list-building-legend https://www.instagram.com/jess_lorimer/   Content Disclaimer The information contained above is provided for information purposes only.

Even if you aren’t into insurance or finance industries this is definitely an interesting must listen to episode.  In This Episode: Educate the Consumer Customer Experience  Brand Value  Problem Solving  Traditional Marketing    “If you believe in the product, if it's something you have and you understand, it becomes so much easier to sell to someone else.” - Danielle    “It is all about solving a problem for somebody and saying how can we help you then helping them make the most informed decision.“ - Jess   “You just have to come in and focus on the task at hand and say, I'm going to do everything I can today to make this business grow so that we're a little bit bigger tomorrow, and what are the activities that I can put in place here.“ - Danielle   “Ultimately, that brand value is really stuck with you through your business and it's what's taking you to that next level. “ - Jess   “If you're thinking about selling a product that isn't your own, I really think you need to seriously think about the initial investment costs.“ - Danielle   Danielle K Roberts Boomer Benefits.com   Other Episodes Mentioned:   SLS143 Jay Baer Smart Leaders Sell https://smartleaderssell.com/   Wait List for Selling to Corporate PodcastSmartleaderssell/sellingtocorporateclients   Join my new programme, EVOLVE: https://smartleaderssell.com/evolve More Jess! http://bit.ly/SLSGroup https://jessicalorimer.com/supersize-your-sales https://jessicalorimer.com/list-building-legend https://www.instagram.com/jess_lorimer/   Content Disclaimer The information contained above is provided for information purposes only.

It’s universally known to never work with children and animals but have trust in their instincts and behaviour and you will learn quite a few important lessons from them.   The main focus of today’s episode is persistence, keep doing what you have to do to get the results you want. Dig deep into the sales processes, ask more questions and listen to the answers, learn what your clients really want and keep going no matter what is getting you down.    In This Episode: Persistence Breakdowns before Breakthroughs Clear Boundaries Market Research Resilience   “When it comes to sales, It is a lot of it about just being persistent and keeping on when you don't really feel like it.“   “Give people clear boundaries around what you're going to do and when actually do those things.“   “This idea of resilience, this idea of being able to bounce back or adapt and adjust is really important when it comes to selling.“   “When you are truly resilient about opportunities you don't mind if people say no, you don't take it personally, you detach from it, and you look at what can be learnt from the situation.“   “Resilience is about still showing up, it's about not looking at lost opportunities and using them as a reason to hide away it's about using them as a learning lesson and thinking what can I do now, what can I learn from this and how can I move forward and be better next time. “ Other Episodes Mentioned:  Smart Leaders Sell https://smartleaderssell.com/   Join my new programme, EVOLVE: https://smartleaderssell.com/evolve/   Evolve Discovery Call https://jessicalorimer.as.me/Evolve-Discovery-Call More Jess! http://bit.ly/SLSGroup https://jessicalorimer.com/supersize-your-sales https://jessicalorimer.com/list-building-legend https://www.instagram.com/jess_lorimer/   Content Disclaimer The information contained above is provided for information purposes only.

It’s double the dose on today’s episode, the two Jessica’s are taking over and we both have our love of podcasting in common. The amazing Jessica Rhodes is sharing why she invented her podcast guest booking industry and how it has become such a successful and reputable agency using a personalised approach.   If you are just starting out listening to podcasts or are a novice poddie then this episode is going to be a game changer for you. Join the podcasting community and learn how to deliver your message and create some revenue.   In This Episode:  Podcast Bookings  Delivering Value  Know Your Message   Community  Pitching to Podcasts   “To have success with podcast interviews and guest appearances is being really clear about what your brand is and what your message is, that way when you actually appear on the podcast, you're setting yourself up for success.” - Jessica   “What we have to start doing is look at where you actually want to build your audience, do you want to build people who are temporary or build those longer lasting relationships which impacts the platform that you choose to market on in the first place?“ - Jess   “So that's why it's super important to be consistent with your podcasting because listeners are not always going to be ready, you have to stay consistent, appear on multiple podcasts a month for months at a time so when they are ready, you are there waiting for them.“ - Jessica    “I think podcasting is a great platform for selling premium products and services because you do develop a deeper relationship quickly. So when your people are listening to you they are more prepared to invest at a higher level.” - Jess   Other Episodes Mentioned:    John Dumas SLS126 https://smartleaderssell.com/sls126-six-figure-success-stories-with-john-lee-dumas/   Kate Erickson SLS197 https://smartleaderssell.com/sls197-kate-erickson-six-figure-success-stories-with-jessica-lorimer/   Jessica Rhodes https://interviewconnections.com/ Podcasting That Pays https://smartleaderssell.com/podcasting-that-pays/ Ali Brown https://alibrown.com/radio/ Smart Leaders Sell https://smartleaderssell.com/   Join my new programme, EVOLVE: https://smartleaderssell.com/evolve/   Wait List for Selling to Corporate PodcastSmartleaderssell/sellingtocorporateclients More Jess! http://bit.ly/SLSGroup https://jessicalorimer.com/supersize-your-sales https://jessicalorimer.com/list-building-legend https://www.instagram.com/jess_lorimer/   Content Disclaimer The information contained above is provided for information purposes only.

What’s the point in racking up all those Instagram or Twitter figures when the reality is that, if you aren’t focusing on the right things for your audience, it’s a waste of time having thousands of them. You need to ask yourself, are all my thousands of followers the same, do they want the same things from me? Of course they aren’t and, no they don’t so it’s time to focus on engaging the right audience and stop counting.   Of course we all need an audience, big or small, but I want to show you how to get the right audience how to reach out and look after them and build the relationships that will inevitably create more sales for you. But, and I’ve spoken about this before, you don't actually need a huge audience to sell a lot of stuff, you just need the right one.   In This Episode: Regular Pitching Market Research Micro Influencers Clear USP and Sales Skills Launch Process   “Why audience does not equal numbers necessarily, and what you could be doing differently.“   “Are you pitching regularly, are you actually selling things that people want, are you doing your market research, are you selling things that your audience actually struggles with?”   “It's about actually growing your audience with the right people, and then doing the right market research so that you're actually converting them regularly because without that, it's not going to happen.”   “This is why it's really important to engage and nurture your audience in order to build a relationship with them to continue that trust factor.“   Other Episodes Mentioned:   SLS196 Selling to Corporate https://smartleaderssell.com/sls196-selling-to-corporations/   Wait List for Selling to Corporate PodcastSmartleaderssell/sellingtocorporateclients The Dotties https://smartleaderssell.com/the-dotties/ More Jess! http://bit.ly/SLSGroup https://jessicalorimer.com/supersize-your-sales https://jessicalorimer.com/list-building-legend https://www.instagram.com/jess_lorimer/   Content Disclaimer The information contained above is provided for information purposes only.

My friendship with today’s guest was built on abandoning the Corporate world and embarking on life as an Entrepreneur. The highly insightful creator of The Bold Leadership Revolution podcast series Tara Newman is here to share some self proclaimed moments since leaving her Corporate role.   Understanding the symptoms and consequences of burnout on a personal level Tara is able to give you inside advice on how to be kind to yourself and prioritise your business to make the balance flow.     In This Episode: Burnout Productivity Time Priorities and Discipline Communities Obsessive Passion   “I think that I have a unique perspective as somebody who has built their business to heal from burnout, when most business owners are experiencing burnout - that doesn't even make sense.“ - Tara   “I think there's a very big difference between balance and it all has to be easy, and it should just all flow and be this really easy process because when you don't get it, it makes you feel like a failure before you’ve even started.“ - Jess   “You were talking about these toxic power relationships and so some leaders are going to use that isolation to their advantage when they're selling to you. They will actively prey on the fact that people feel more lonely when they're entrepreneurs” - Tara   “Because if you can't conjure that creative spark or if you can't train yourself into the habit of being able to create or being able to execute a strategy, even when you're not feeling it, you're never going to be able to get to where you want to go.” - Jess   “What boundaries can you be putting on your passion for your business so you can be there for the long haul, so you can have the endurance that you need to make an impact as a leader.” - Tara   More Tara:   Instagram @TaraNewman The Bold Leadership Revolution Podcast https://www.taranewmancoaching.com/podcast   Other Episodes Mentioned:   Shane and Jocelyn SLS183 https://smartleaderssell.com/sls183-shane-jocelyn-sams-founders-of-flipped-lifestyle-six-figure-success-stories-with-jessica-lorimer/ The Dotties https://smartleaderssell.com/the-dotties/   More Jess! http://bit.ly/SLSGroup https://jessicalorimer.com/supersize-your-sales https://jessicalorimer.com/list-building-legend https://www.instagram.com/jess_lorimer/   Content Disclaimer The information contained above is provided for information purposes only.

With so much economic uncertainty surrounding us at this present time it is so important to keep doing the things which work and to be consistent with these approaches, we aren’t in the correct climate at the moment for complacency.   Of course we all have to do the selling and the metrics but we need to be consistent that our customers are receiving the experience from you which will keep them feeling valued and wanting to return.   In This Episode: Economic Climate Training your audience Sales Experiences Setting clear boundaries Profit Margins   “What I do think is interesting about the concepts of ‘you are’ and ‘what you repeatedly do’ is how that's being reflected in the major retail markets at the moment.“   “And when you have a good experience from somewhere, it will outweigh a premium price point”   “It's about consistency, it's about looking at your lead generation and monitoring your metrics and actively selling every day. But also, it's about what you're training your customers to expect, are you training them to expect a good experience, are you then making sure that you take those lessons and apply them to your own business?”   “Do not get caught out in this economic climate because you really, really don't need to you can absolutely make it through.”   Other Episodes Mentioned: https://smartleaderssell.com/sls171-value-based-pricing/   Join my new programme, EVOLVE: https://smartleaderssell.com/evolve/ The Dotties https://smartleaderssell.com/the-dotties/ More Jess! http://bit.ly/SLSGroup https://jessicalorimer.com/supersize-your-sales https://jessicalorimer.com/list-building-legend https://www.instagram.com/jess_lorimer/   Content Disclaimer The information contained above is provided for information purposes only.

It’s so great that Heather can join us again today, she is incredibly insightful on both a personal and business level and gives us the knowledge and confidence to be ourselves in our business, to take ownership for who we are and to own our expertise.   Listen in to understand the difference between making money and actually being a business owner, understand how to create the correct mindset in order to build and sustain a better relationship with your business.   In This Episode: Internet Marketing Business Strategy Influencers Customer Experience Qualifications   “We were really trained to this model of showing up online and introducing people to us. So we would build the know, like and trust factor and be super helpful, and give away all of our best content for free.“ - Heather   “The bit that I don't love, though, is that you can't combat a profit problem in your business simply by selling more, you can't combat an outsourcing issue in your business by selling more, you can't combat operational problems” - Jess   “You can't build a business pretending to be somebody else for any length of time, it gets you that initial shot of visibility, but it doesn't get you anything that lasts.“- Heather   “That person may know the theory behind how to make you feel good every day but, if they haven't actually trained in it, they're not qualified to teach it. They're not qualified to troubleshoot it.” - Jess   “I think what this industry has started to build for us is this idea that it creates reactions out of us and then we get impulsive, and we respond, rather than really looking at what is the business model? What is it that we're doing? And what is the best way to represent that for the people” - Heather   Other Episodes Mentioned:   https://smartleaderssell.com/sls103-breaking-through-the-bs-how-to-ask-for-support/   https://smartleaderssell.com/sls103-breaking-through-the-bs-how-to-ask-for-support/   Evolve Discovery Call https://jessicalorimer.as.me/Evolve-Discovery-Call The Dotties https://smartleaderssell.com/the-dotties/ More Jess! http://bit.ly/SLSGroup https://jessicalorimer.com/supersize-your-sales https://jessicalorimer.com/list-building-legend https://www.instagram.com/jess_lorimer/   Content Disclaimer The information contained above is provided for information purposes only.

People are quick to offer their opinions and inform you how and what you should be doing to make your business work but are these things necessarily the correct things for your business.

Don’t waste your time and energy on other people’s advice, work out your strengths, your goals and make it work your way.   In This Episode: Types of Business Impact Sales Strategies Social Media Marketing Business Goals Influencers   “There's no one magic bullet for your business. But there are some sales strategies that you really should avoid until the right time in your business and that you should do with a lot of thought and a lot of care because they're not always going to lead to what you need right now“   “So, in this space of £99 offers just reminded me again, that actually, it's not about the price. Getting comfortable with selling is not about putting a lower number on something and that's what we have to move away from”   “It might be that you have great success with challenges or with webinars or things like that. It doesn't matter what it is, but play to your strengths and find something that really works for you. “ Other Episodes Mentioned:   SLS006 The only three things you need to do to generate immediate revenue.
