Calling all business owners! Put up your hand if you would describe yourself as “not just a numbers person.” My guest today, Danielle Hayden, is a professional bookkeeper and the founder of Kickstart Accounting. And in this episode, we are speaking directly to those who are self-described as “not a numbers person.” And don't worry — we're not getting into the nuances of bookkeeping. We're addressing what you need to know as a business owner with respect to your numbers to sustain, grow, and uplevel your business so that you can have the impact that you want to have in the world. Even if you're not a numbers person, you still need to look at the data and metrics and understand where they all are. Learning how to outsource the management of these outsources with a bookkeeper is a critical skill. My challenge for all of you today is to put away that mindset of, “I am not a numbers person,” and instead, step into this conversation from a blank slate perspective.

This week I'm super excited to share another client interview with Friends With Benefits member, Danielle Scheid. In this episode, Danielle shares her experience within the program a lifelong dieter who struggled with labeling foods "bad" and chronic yo-yo dieting. After decades of traveling down dead-end roads that left her more frustrated than before, she joined the Friends With Benefits group to not only lose the weight but to learn how to drop the food obsession and eat like a "naturally thin person." Topics discussed: ▪️What it's like to go from an "all-or-nothing" mindset to someone who effortlessly keeps treats in the home without feeling out of control. ▪️Danielle shares some of her biggest challenges within the program and how it helped her in other areas of her life. ▪️After years of wasting money on unsuccessful weight loss attempts, most people will be skeptical of a psychology-based program like FWB. ▪️Danielle opens up about why she had the courage to join and how focusing on her relationship with food instead of scale weight was the change she didn't know she needed. ▪️At what point in the program the habits began to *click* for her and physical changes became more apparent. ▪️What Danielle wishes she had known at the beginning of the program and her best piece of advice for those who are afraid to stop calorie counting and practice mindful eating. Please give this week's episode a listen! Danielle was an excellent guest who provided a ton of valuable insights that you can benefit from.

Are you struggling with the concept of creativity in your business pursuits? There’s a reason that Creativity is our final section of the Summer Strategy Sessions: You need to understand how to care for yourself and cultivate courage if you want to make room for creativity in your life. In today’s episode, we talk with my longtime friend, yoga teacher, and sometimes lifeline, Danielle Rush. Danielle is also an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, and Life & Accountability Coach, to name a few more areas of expertise. How does she do it? Danielle identifies as a “multi-potentialite.” She has learned that being a generalist instead of a specialist doesn’t have to be the stumbling block that our society wants to make it. Like Danielle, I have several talents and interests that I could pull from to create a business. I have struggled over the years with how to bring all of my Big Ideas together into a cohesive whole. Can you relate? Danielle has a bit of advice for us: “It’s not always about the outcome. It’s about the creative process.” When we create space for creativity in our lives, we find the solutions we need to find meaning and success. How do we create that space? By taking care of ourselves. By slowing down that hustle. By allowing ourselves time to just play and enjoy life. But doing all of that takes a little bit of courage, too. We have to learn to trust ourselves and trust in the process, even when we can’t see the outcome. When Danielle created space for her creativity to flow, she found direction for her varied interests. Her creative vision can be summed up into one objective: “Supporting happy, healthy humans.” From there, all of her ideas find focus. Learn how she got to this point and what you can learn from her journey in today’s episode. In episode 33 of Small Stage, Big Impact we discuss: [9:49] What a multi-potentialite is, and what that looks like from a business standpoint. [15:40] What Danielle’s 6 M’s are for living a happy, healthy life. [20:45] Why it is important to make space for play and self-care to sustain a creative life. [22:45] How to see your children as motivation to be courageous in your creativity. [23:46] How to use block scheduling to make time for everything you want to accomplish. [29:43] Why it is important to avoid killing the things you love to do by forcing them to feed your family. [34:44] The logistics behind Danielle’s creative vision and how she branded herself. [40:30] Why it is important to create space for the creativity you need to find solutions in your business.

Are you willing to give up coffee? Chocolate? Rum? Many of us have come to think of these products as necessities and would have a very hard time giving them up.

Being a product based business owner takes a lot of creativity on all fronts- in your designs, in operations, your marketing and how your reach people and tell your story. Now there are so many different platforms and technologies it can be hard to know where to start or which platform to choose. On today’s Proof to Product episode with Dani Nagel, the founder of Dazey LA, we sit down to talk about the importance of finding platforms that work best for your creativity and that start your kind of conversation. Dani founded Dazey LA as a fashion brand focused on empowering women through conversation and community. She intentionally built a business that supports her personal values. Each design is hand drawn by Dani and then manufactured to order in Los Angeles, California. On today's episode, Dani and I talk about how her corporate and startup experience shaped her business perspective. We discuss sustainability, community building, and how Dani built Dazey LA from the ground up. Dani talks about how transparency and showing behind the scenes processes of her marketing and product development has helped her business. And we dive into Dazey LA's ambassador program, which tools they use, how they structure it, and how it has helped them build the retail side of their business. ON TODAY’S EPISODE: The spirit and inspiration behind Dazey LA How Dani uses her clothing designs to start a conversation Making the switch from corporate life to full-time freelance What Danielle learned working for a start-up company How Dazey grew out of Dani’s studio apartment Using Instagram to tell the real Dazey LA story Coping with copy-cats and look-alikes Dazey’s daily marketing tactics Why Danielle decided to start an ambassador program How the ambassador program took off The size of the Dazey team today Dazey’s make to order model and zero-waste goals Advice for new product designers and what’s up next for Dani & Dazey KEY TAKE-AWAYS: “Every step of the way with Dazey, I've just been very intentional about aligning my messaging and my values along with my brand and my aesthetic. And somehow it worked out.” - Danielle Nagel “I really try to design things that I want to wear, and I want to promote. I just follow what feels right to me. I try to stay true to myself in everything that I do.” - Danielle Nagel “So through Instagram Story I just started to transparently share the highs and lows of running a business, the fun behind the scenes, and all the nitty gritty I remember wishing I could see when I was working for these corporate companies.” - Danielle Nagel “When we're just starting out, we want to look bigger than we are because we want to be taken seriously, and we want people to purchase our products. But then it gets to a point to where maybe we want people to know we're small and nimble.” - Katie Hunt “At the end of the day, I feel like my art stands on its own, and my messaging and branding is really strong. I know that the sharing transparently has been what has helped my business grow.” - Danielle Nagel “At my corporate job I was always trying to push the rules, always getting in trouble. So it's really fun having control of my own brand and be able to say, "Screw it, I'm going to share everything. I'm going to share designs before they're released. I'm going to share how I made them." - Danielle Nagel “When I started Proof to Product, I felt like if we all get together and share what we know all of us will thrive. All of us will grow stronger together. And now, we've got this great amazing community.” - Katie Hunt “We use our platform as a space to create conversation, and we really want that to be a back and forth conversation. We design along with our audiences. I ask their opinions.” - Danielle Nagel “I'm okay with sacrificing crazy profit margins to be able to have a company that aligns with my values, and create something our community really cares about, that’s a great conversation starter.” - Danielle Nagel “I'm always chasing what's next and what's new. So whenever I get to refresh the brand it's so exciting for me.” - Danielle Nagel LINKS Website: http://www.dazeyla.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dazeyla Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dazey_la/ https://www.refersion.com/ SUBSCRIBE To subscribe on iOS, go to the iTunes page and subscribe to Proof to Product.

One of my favorite women in the world is back on the show today for her third episode. She is the queen of self-help, spirituality, and wisdom. So I got really excited when I saw that her newest book is an uncensored truth-telling about that world — what most people won’t admit to. Danielle LaPorte is one of the few people who can take on the myths surrounding the world of self-development and expose the truth . . . while still inspiring you to keep going in your own path. And that’s just one reason why I love her. One reason why I think Danielle’s message is so needed is because it’s easy to get lost in the “doing” of self-development and spirituality and forget the “being” part. What Danielle taught me is that all wisdom is paradoxical — there’s truth in both sides of it. If we’re willing to get curious, explore, and trust our gut, we find truth. If we go on auto-pilot and focus only on “doing” things we think should make us better, we will get lost, burnt out, and stuck. Get ready for a breath of fresh air and some powerful truth-telling in Episode 481. In This Episode, You Will Learn:Why sometimes less is more when it comes to spiritual support (4:52)The simple key to self-help (9:16)Why it’s okay to change our beliefs often (18:15)How to forgive people when things are a mess (21:27)The keys to getting past judging people (25:05)Plus much more… Learn more about your ad choices.

In her free time, Danielle enjoys the outdoors with her kids and checking out local wineries and breweries. Lindsay Darby graduated from Cleveland State University with an accounting degree. While completing hundreds of audits she discovered that she most enjoyed working with the owners and management teams to develop financial and reporting plans, enabling them to achieve both their short and long-term goals. When Lindsay is not working, she enjoys traveling and checking out museums from around the country. Show Highlights: What made Danielle and Lindsay decide to go into business together. What it's been like for Danielle and Lindsay to navigate their business partnership together, for the last five years. Many business owners get paralyzed by planning. Business partnerships seem to either go well or they can go sideways quickly. Learning to know what you're good at and staying in your lane is a key to a successful business partnership. Good processes are important for a successful business partnership. Danielle and Lindsay discuss the core values that each of them possesses separately, that assists their partnership as a whole. The values that Danielle and Lindsay share. How they reassure entrepreneurs. How our childhood creates a mindset around money. Practicing preventative bookkeeping and accounting can help business owners change their mindset around money. You have to understand how your business is doing throughout the year, or at a minimum on a quarterly basis. The key to being successful is in taking small steps forward. Danielle and Lindsay establish a long-term relationship with their clients, to be there with them as they grow their businesses. What Danielle and Lindsay have learned about themselves as entrepreneurs as they take their clients through their processes. Developing an appreciation for what their clients are experiencing, as they go through the process. Danielle and Lindsay talk about the financial goal-setting worksheet that they share with their clients as a tool. Small business owners need to know how much it costs for them to stay afloat every month. The importance of reviewing your goals regularly. Putting the human touch into accounting. Building trust through consistency. What makes a client get fired. What makes a business owner show up as a great client for a bookkeeper or accountant.

When it comes to trade shows, there are SO many questions. How much is this going to cost? How does this all work? How do I make sure it’ll be a success? Am I ready? In my interview with Danielle Licata and Kelly Helfman, we talk about these exact questions and more. Danielle and Kelly are brand directors for the Magic Trade Show in Vegas, the Coterie Trade Show in New York, and so many other specialty shows for specific categories. Magic and Coterie are some of the largest fashion trade show events in North America, and these ladies know their STUFF! They’re so knowledgeable and so generous with sharing it here on the podcast--you’re going to love it. We go through what these trade shows are doing to support new and emerging designers (like you!), how to decide if you’re ready, the details of the exact numbers of how much things are going to cost, and they’ve really set you up for success. We talk about how to prepare before, during, and after your trade show experience. I’m so excited about this episode--I know you’re going to love it! In the interview (which you'll love) we will cover: DTC vs retail What brands are doing to break in, get started, and stand out at trade shows (and how to know you’re ready) Ways to connect with buyers to make sure you show up at the show in the right orders Step-by-step advice to figure out if this is the right path for you What kinds of brands Kelly and Danielle see coming to their trade shows, and what they’ve seen brands do to have a successful launch the first time around The timeline to be expected The foundation brands start with when jumping into a trade show How seriously buyers take your Instagram following (!), and how clear you need to be on your brand story How much of a foundation to build before getting results at a wholesale trade show How much money to set aside to do trade shows! What Danielle and Kelly think the future of trade shows will look like--they’re changing! What collateral you need to go in prepared as a brand The key to your success at a trade show: knowing who you are as a brand, and knowing where you should be positioned How brands kickoff the successful trade show experience Opportunities for startup and emerging designers What Kelly and Danielle wish people would ask them about working in the fashion industry And so much more! DANIELLE LICATA From being a Sales and Operations Manager at Stella McCartney and Vice President at Belstaff, Danielle Licata has earned her role as the President of East Coast Womens, Informa, overseeing Coterie, Fame, Moda, and AccessoriesTheShow. With over 10 years of experience in the luxury fashion category, Danielle is both a macro-thinker and micro-executer, allowing her lead and successfully builds her team. Danielle has had many hats; from opening flagship stores to increasing multi-million dollar revenues to curating trade shows from the ground up. Since her start at UBM Fashion (now Informa) Danielle has pioneered the launch of Beauty at Coterie and will be unveiling the company’s first stand-alone retail pop-up in Miami this July 2018. KELLY HELFMAN Kelly is the President of West Coast Womens, Informa, overseeing WWDMAGIC, Project Womens, and Pooltradeshow. Kelly leads the MAGIC Women’s events while balancing motherhood and advocating for work/life balance. With 15+ years of experience in fashion sales, marketing, and design, her career highlights include starting her own celeb-favorite, vintage-inspired clothing brand, launching Children's Club Las Vegas, and FWD New York (now merged with FAME). LET’S TALK TRADE SHOWS Kelly and Danielle are here to help you maximize your trade show experience and decide when and if it’s right for you. Through Magic and Coterie trade show, they provide a platform for brands to sell directly to buyers, holding your hand (if you need it!) to do what’s best for your business. They have about seven shows a year, so if you’re interested, there’s always time to get prepared for the next one--you don’t have to wait long! Danielle and Kelly and their team help you decide if you’re 100% ready for a trade show, and in this episode, they talk about how to know if you’re there or not. You could be brand new to trade shows, but if you have a on-trend product at just the right moment in time, they’ll help you make it happen. If the market is saturated with your product, and they don’t feel like you’re ready, they’ll be honest with you! WHAT’S THE DAMAGE? Depending on which trade show you’re interested in, you could be looking at some different price points. Coterie is focused on Contemporary and Premium brands, and Magic is more for the mass market price points. Magic has a $5500-6500 all-inclusive price--that’s tables, chairs, etc. But it only fits 100 samples, so you have to plot out how many booths you might need. They offer booth sharing for a small extra brand fee that’s much more affordable than reserving a whole extra booth. Coterie has an $8300 price point, but there’s a high ratio of buyers to brands. Then you have to think about travel, branding, and shipping...multiplied by three times (the minimum number of trade shows Danielle and Kelly recommend committing to in order to see a favorable outcome). Then when you’re setting up your booth, make it special! Are there mimosas? Is there a bouquet bar? Perhaps a wall of flowers? Music? Does it smell good? In this industry, you need to create your brand and create an instagrammable moment that people won’t forget. Don’t sit on your cell phone--engage with people! Get to know your neighbors! You can’t just put a rack up and hope something happens. A buyer is still a buyer, whether they’re wholesale or retail--Kelly and Danielle urge brand to create an experience no matter where they are. USE YOUR RESOURCES So you’re at the trade show. You’ve prepared for months, done the research, branded your booth, and created something special. There’s still (free!) opportunities to maximize your trade show experience! You can always ask questions of your representative or trade show consultant. Ask what complimentary opportunities you have at the show where you can market. Perhaps there’s swag bag participation, or a new brand highlight on social. There might be mannequins featured and they could be yours! Don’t just sign up for the booth and show up--always ask for more. Kelly and Danielle truly are experts and they want to help. Such a dream come true! Trade shows can feel like a huge ordeal and time commitment--because they are. But they really set you up for success with their support and resources. They encourage you to reach out on social--take them up on that! They’re a valuable resource and a wealth of information. This episode is a great listen whether you’re preparing for your first or umpteenth trade show, and whether you’re going to Coterie, Magic, or another trade show. They’ll set you up for success by telling you how to prepare before, during, and after your trade show experience, and get your brand into the buyer’s hands that want it!

What good collaboration should do is inspire you. Today on the podcast I’m talking to co-founder and creative director of Dannijo Jewelry, Danielle Snyder. Dannijo Jewelry has a unique aesthetic and breaks the mold that often restricts high end jewelry and accessories, and it has been worn by everyone from Beyoncé to Taylor Swift. Danielle is a hustler - she started making jewelry when she was young with her father’s medical tools. She and her sister reunited after college and decided to pursue their passion to create this company. Listen in as we talk about her path to entrepreneurship, her creative process, how the company has used social media, the importance of collaboration, and so much more. I think all the most important aspects of running a business and being an entrepreneur are the things that aren’t necessarily work. Some things we learn in this podcast: When Danielle started making jewelry [5:00] How jewelry came back into her life in college [6:30] What happened when Beyoncé bought one of their pieces [9:00] What she learned from getting fired [11:15] The challenges of growing and scaling a business [13:40] The value of using social media as a tool [15:20] How to build a community online [18:20] What inspired Danielle [20:50] Where her aesthetic came from [22:20] The power of true collaboration [24:50] Why you have to get out of the office or studio [29:30] What Danielle’s creative process looks like [32:05] How Danielle lives a full life [36:40] The routines Danielle practices [38:20] How mindfulness helps creativity and productivity [41:50] When their company started to grow [46:40] How she carried on her nonprofit work [47:25] The importance of giving back [48:30] Danielle’s philanthropic passions [51:00] The future of Dannijo [54:50] The biggest challenges of her entrepreneurial journey [58:45] Links mentioned: Check out Dannijo Jewelry and the World of Dannijo Learn more about Misty Copeland Watch the Lauryn Hill lecture Follow Vienna Pharaon on Instagram Check out the Headspace app Learn more about Indego Africa Check out the Bob Woodruff Foundation Join the Nion Life Community on Facebook Music Credit: Purple Craze by Chex Ft.

What Danielle and Jordan Nuhfer thought was going to be a simple vegetable garden turned into a space where neighbors shared their bounties and a place where they were able to connect with people who lived in the neighborhood and may never have met. They started Grow Your Own Freedom in order to share their urban farming know how with others, and plan to make their backyard an educational space.
